He continued: “Let’s just let the courts decide and you’ll have to sign a paper that says, ‘Yeah, this was a lie and I’m guilty of this and that,’ and we can go that route about it. Because let’s be honest, I get no points for beating you up. It just sucks how badly you fumbled this.”
Jeff documented the aftermath of his injury in a video series titled ‘Don’t Try This At Home’ on his YouTube channel, revealing just how life-threatening the situation was.
