Rich Lopp: Dude Tarot Reader

[Mister Obvious]

Well if you could message people on youtube anymore I would have a chat to him.

I forgot YouTube messages used to be a thing!

Yeah what Rich needs is a successful man who's lived a lot of life to talk to, somebody who doesn't know about YouTube and doesn't watch that kinda crap...

Pretty much the exact opposite of everything Rich has been exposed to for so long now. That's what I think.

Needs to be a guy who has had a successful career, knows about family matters, has demonstrable experience in life, career, etc.

Ah well, it's whatever. I hope the best for Rich but I'm just some random internet person and there's nothing that can be done at the end of the day. Hopefully he gets to a good place mentally/physically and comes out of whatever it is he's been experiencing, cuz something has definitely been amiss.

[Mister Obvious]

And like I said, the last thing Rich needs is another female to talk to...

Seriously.

From his crazy fanbase to his family/homelife, he's surrounded by nothing but female input and I think he needs to work hard toward having healthy successful male friends, associates, role models etc. in his life.

He really needs balance there. He's got a lot riding on him and he needs to talk to some fellow dudes who understand, but who AREN'T crazy or losers.

Just being real.

[Mister Obvious]

He needs those connections in real, physical life... not online.

So local dudes who he can go and spend time with, be honest with, having no fear of judgement or anything he confides being shared with anyone else.

He needs healthy, smart, honest male friends who don't know his partner, have never met his kids, etc. He needs to keep all these people extremely separate.

He needs to be able to spend time with people who he can really talk to and get good advice and encouragement from. Dudes who KNOW some shit about life.

[Guest]

I couldn’t agree more.

It looks like they only had one table of guests at their wedding shindig.

Is it just me or is Rich shorter than what he claims to be. He says he’s 6 foot, but next to his daughters and lady he doesn’t look even close to 6 feet.

[Mister Obvious]

They got married?!

I knew they were going to but I didn't know when it was gonna be.

Weddings are really expensive so I'd say the fewer the guests, the less it would cost... that's a good thing.

I'll have to go see if there are pics on Instagram. Where would you have your honeymoon if you already lived in Vegas?! Lol.

[Mister Obvious]

Weddings are a lot of pressure, maybe that's why things seemed whack with Rich lately... maybe he was nervous and stressed.

I've been to a few weddings that were just ridiculously extravagant and I have no idea why people spend that much money on it and go through all of that.

It seems counterproductive to keeping the relationship in a healthy place, what with all the planning and having it hanging over your head.

Justice of the Peace and finger sandwiches, that's always been my take on the whole marriage thing. Well, that and don't do it in the first place?!

I did think that Rich and Leah should totally lock each other down and stay together forever though, they do make a great looking pair. But at the same time, I know what a joke love/romance really is, so that part of me usually overpowers everything else.

[Mister Obvious]

I just wonder WTF is really going on in Rich's head, cuz I'm just not sold on the notion that everything is kisses and cake pops over there in LaLa Land cuz something just seems wrong.

[Mister Obvious]

I just saw their engagement pics on Instagram and I dunno...

Leah used to seem really sweet, but now in a lot of the pics she has this look in her eyes that gives me damn near devious vibes.

It's hard to explain.

Yeah she looks hot, but there's something that is different about her than it used to be, it's in her gaze.

It's like her attitude or something. It almost seems like Rich is her bragging thingy, like she shops him as this phenomenon, but at the same time she controls the shit out of him.

I just get super hardcore "kiss my feet" kinda vibes from that photoshoot as if Leah is projecting this Queen Bitch essence. I wonder if the photographer told her to try and look that way or something.

[Mister Obvious]

It's not just that one photoshoot though, there's this other pic of her in a red bathing suit thing and she's got the same kind of look going on.

[Mister Obvious]

I'm sure Leah is still nice enough, and they do all make a great looking family... I just think marriage and relationships are a mistake. I gotta tell ya, I regret encouraging marriage and encouraging reproduction in various topics on this site in the past. I couldn't be any less supportive of those concepts now. It's all a trap, sorry. It takes a long time to realize that in life.

[Guest]

I just wonder WTF is really going on in Rich's head, cuz I'm just not sold on the notion that everything is kisses and cake pops over there in LaLa Land cuz something just seems wrong.

Right?! 

I mean, when you’re about to get married and post about how much you used to drink under a bridge (yeah yeah, we’ve heard that sob story already). 
Then, posting a video about compulsive liars on your wedding day?? (That video talked in circles and provided no indication that Rich has any more life experience or emotional intelligence than my local convenience store worker.) 

I’m not buying it.

Nothing about the wedding seemed genuine.
Rich went through the motions. He married his live in babysitter/secretary. Okay. Oh, and now we’re referring to each other as “star seeds”? 
Seems like another YouTube catch phrase Rich picked up along his “enlightening journey” of scrolling through social media. I know Phil Good has been talking about star seeds and “downloads” for years.

I expected to see his Idaho friends and mom at the wedding, but it doesn’t look like living with a tarot guru improved their lives one bit. Rich posts about “hang out with me long enough and I’ll brainwash you into believing in yourself”. It comes off as if he’s saying hanging out with him will result in being “successful” like he claims to be. Sorry Rich, not everyone can monetize our self-proclaimed expertise. Being a YouTube partner doesn’t make one an expert. So, I’m still not convinced Rich is successful. Being able to afford payments doesn’t mean you can afford it. 
Success includes assets and investments, celebrity endorsement from someone already well known in the spiritual community, writing a book that ends up on NY best sellers list. I don’t see any of that in Rich’s future. I want to support the guy, but his arrogance is such a turn off. 

Teach is something we haven’t already heard, Rich! He has potential, but his ego boxes him in.

She posted on Instagram saying she’s a “boss bitch” and runs her own business. 
The quality of her nick nacks and cheap jewelry is a start, sure, but it’s Rich’s fan base that bought her a gas guzzling truck, paid for her wedding, and funds all her girls nights and weekend get always. 
I know boss bitches. They run hospitals, schools, and corporations. Without Rich, her “success” would crumble.

[Mister Obvious]

Then, posting a video about compulsive liars on your wedding day??

EXACTLY... what the FUCK?!?!?

Something just doesn't add up.

Nothing about the wedding seemed genuine.

It seemed cute, but something about weddings has always bothered me. Just seems so... final.

I legitimately wonder if Rich really comes up with some of the social media statuses he posts.

He married his live in babysitter/secretary.

I never looked at it that way but HOLY CRAP. Why the fuck do men think that's a good idea?? It's like they're weak inside and these particular kind of women break them down over time and guilt them into commitment.

I've noticed that when a guy has kids from another marriage, if his new GF invests serious time/effort in taking care of them, she REALLY hangs it over the guy's head. That's not to say her love for the kids isn't genuine, shit in fact, I've seen some of these chicks love THE KIDS more than the man. And like, stay with him just because of the kids. I am NOT saying that's the case here, but I've seen it happen.

Okay. Oh, and now we’re referring to each other as “star seeds”? 

Well I wasn't gonna say anything, but now that you mention it...

Pretty sure she's the "long term human" Rich keeps referencing. It kind of seems like a "starseedy" way to say that someone's thinking about nothing but material gain, is greedy, brazen, etc. Which is kinda fucked up.

It's almost like the brainwashing meme... I feel like Rich is projecting, IF he even posted that himself. It sounds like that's what SHE did to HIM. Not something that Rich does.

And before anyone thinks it's crazytalk that Rich isn't posting his own statuses, just remember he's publicly admitted that a super controlling girlfriend has taken over his phone etc. and regularly posted FB updates AS HIM in the past. Years ago, before his current relationship.

Rich clearly has trouble with boundaries and someone who's looking to violate them would pick up on those cues... such as a controlling GF who knows she can get away with playing around on his phone or accessing his accounts.

Being a YouTube partner doesn’t make one an expert.

That's true too... it rubs me the wrong way when YouTubers with even millions of subs act like they're a fucking celebrity. Like yeah, they're a public figure, and they're famous at certain levels... but it's not like they've been in Hollywood blockbusters or something, they got famous doing something accessible to the general public that most anyone could do if they put in the time/effort. I dunno, just makes me cringe a little when they get uppity about it.

She posted on Instagram saying she’s a “boss bitch” and runs her own business. 

I don't like the whole "boss bitch" thing... it's demeaning. If a woman took what she does seriously and was mature and confident, she'd never call herself that. That's my opinion.

The quality of her nick nacks and cheap jewelry is a start

I feel like she has the kids make that stuff. Maybe she doesn't. But I can totally see them making the bracelets and charms and decorating the candles. Just my impression though. Not that there's anything wrong with arts and crafts as a family unit, but do they get a cut of the money?? Lol. Just wondering.

Without Rich, her “success” would crumble.

I've always gotten the impression her family was wealthy, but it doesn't seem like she was doing any of this stuff before Rich. Crazy to think he really made a considerable amount of money from reading tarot on YouTube... that's pretty damn inspiring if true.

I have always wondered if a lot of what we see hasn't been Leah's pre-existing family wealth kicking in... guess not though. In any case, they're probably living above their means, which is never a good idea.

[Mister Obvious]

He seemed kinda relieved in his video yesterday, maybe a lot of it was just stress from the wedding day approaching. Now that it's done, maybe he'll feel better.

[Guest]

They got married?!

I knew they were going to but I didn't know when it was gonna be.

Weddings are really expensive so I'd say the fewer the guests, the less it would cost... that's a good thing.

I'll have to go see if there are pics on Instagram. Where would you have your honeymoon if you already lived in Vegas?! Lol.

Nowhere. Looks like they stayed in Vegas. 

Guess their GoFundMe campaign for their honeymoon wasn’t enough for an exotic vacay. 
Nope, just another hotel room. 
They’ve seen so many hotel rooms I’m surprised they didn’t opt for something different, or away from Vegas. Especially since Rich doesn’t drink. 
Leah probably got shit faced and gave him a bj, like she’s claimed she’s good at. 
I’m happy for Rich and his daughters. 

I wonder if Case was at the wedding or Kelly Lundt who they paid for life/relationships advice. Case seems to use Rich for marketing. Case modified his pricing not too long ago after Rich’s session with him. 

You mentioned him having male friends around. That would be ideal. And coach Drew just doesn’t have a masculine energy to me.

[Mister Obvious]

Looks like they stayed in Vegas. 

Vegas is the place to be for cheapass niceass hotel rooms for sure... I would have spent most of the money on a hotel room for a few days rather than any kinda glitz for the actual wedding, but that's just me.

Guess their GoFundMe campaign for their honeymoon wasn’t enough for an exotic vacay.

Yeah odds are they didn't get much contribution from that... you'd have to have at least like 5 million subscribers to get any decent kinda funds raised for anything.

I’m surprised they didn’t opt for something different, or away from Vegas. Especially since Rich doesn’t drink.

I noticed in one of the pics where they were getting ready for the wedding, it looked like the kitchen at their house and there was a decorative sign on the wall that said something about wine. I feel like it's unfair that Leah indulges in wine and whatever when Rich has struggled so hard with alcohol addiction in the past. If my partner had a history like that, I would abstain from any type of alcohol consumption in solidarity with them. But I totally fricken hate alcohol in general TBH, so that's easy for me to say. Then again, I feel like if you "like" drinking on any level, there's kind of a problem there. I get that red wine is okay to have every now and then for antioxidants and blood circulation and whatever, but... meh. Come on.

Leah probably got shit faced and gave him a bj, like she’s claimed she’s good at.

She said that?! Lol! Yeah it's so weird, I can't imagine Rich having sex. Like I can't even imagine him engaging in any type of sexual activity whatsoever... there's no discernible sexuality taking place with him. That's got nothing to do with his good looks (which are the reason he's been so successful and the reason that Leah gets everything she wants to put on the image of living the dream), it's just to do with his energy specifically. I've known other dudes who were similar... great looking guys, but I just couldn't sense them on a sexual level. I appreciate those kind of dudes, to be honest.

I’m happy for Rich and his daughters.

Me too, they are such a sweet family... they really deserve all the best. Rich will be the one who is unhappy or put upon, if anyone is. The kids won't really suffer from whatever goes on between Leah and Rich... he will be the one who takes all the heat and the stress and gets gaslighted the shit out of. Just my opinion.

I wonder if Case was at the wedding or Kelly Lundt who they paid for life/relationships advice.

Maybe there were restrictions on the number of guests at the wedding. Regardless, I can understand not wanting that many people there... what I can't understand is not just going to Justice of the Peace instead. Must have been solely for the photo-ops and whatnot. That's what most of the hoity-toity marriage thingies seem to be about. No idea.

So weird you mention Kelly, because I just recently remembered her. I had to look her up through Tyler's Tarot search results on YouTube cuz I could only remember her first name. I used to watch her a LOOONNNGGGG time ago. Upon catching up with her, I felt as though her life didn't look that much different, but I also felt that she has what she wants. Truly. She's where she really wants to be, and she has what she really wants. She's chased Tyler, she's chased Rich apparently (I didn't know she was even involved with him at any point in time), she clearly has a type... dude tarot readers. Lol. But I feel like some people want to yearn and long for things instead of ACTUALLY having them. Maybe Kelly is that kinda person.

She was always hardcore into Esther Hicks and seeing her life be the same after all these years was kinda like... eh, what? Shouldn't it be different by now if she really wanted the things she used to yearn for??

Her recentish (at the time of writing) video that I watched a bit of was Kelly talking about how humans "need" each other and only get oxytocin from loving other people and she basically glossed over the fact that you can get it from loving animals too. I mean, TBH, I'm pretty sure oxytocin can get released for different reasons for different people. Like me for example... I fall in love with a lot of things that aren't people or animals. I fall in love with places. I fall in love with intangible shit like websites too. I am very much capable of getting love hormone release from non-people things.

I just felt like Kelly was projecting her own longing onto... life, people, and everything. But at the same time, I felt like she didn't really WANNA be released from that longing. So. Yeah I dunno, there's my huge off topic rant about freakin' Kelly Lunt, God bless.

Case modified his pricing not too long ago after Rich’s session with him.

Good, that's exactly what I said he should do. Cut out the damn riff-raff... keep the crazies out. Hopefully. It won't work 100% because some rich people are crazier than shit and absolutely freaky and just WHACK, whack whack whack attack. But in general, raising the price will work to keep out the more unsavory and scary types, and just generally make it more worth the trouble.

You mentioned him having male friends around. That would be ideal. And coach Drew just doesn’t have a masculine energy to me.

Who the shnazz is Coach Drew?? I'ma have to look this up.

[Mister Obvious]

But in general, raising the price will work to keep out the more unsavory and scary types, and just generally make it more worth the trouble.

I just looked at his site again and I didn't see a significant price difference (if any at all) in his "in person" sessions.

Maybe he doesn't get ALL THAT MUCH business. Shrug. In any case, I still encourage him to raise those damn prices...

One session with a total weirdo with hella gross and scary energy will be enough to make him raise that shit to $666, hunty.

[Mister Obvious]

Okay so I Google'd "coach drew rich lopp" and found enough to help me figure out who the heck he is and judge the situation there.

Let's see... I find this interesting:

I have a very dark story behind me and I've been able to climb some MASSIVE mountains and achieve lots of growth and success in several different areas on my ...

That's the Google blurb/summary of whatever the original Insta post said, but the link is some weird archive thingy with a strange URL, not clicking it.

There's a legit Insta link in the next result though, so I'll click that one...

https://www.instagram.com/p/CK5XWxPHeyf

That was from all the way back at the beginning of 2021, so hmm, I guess he's been involved with the Drew guy for a while.

Wonder which is which?? Bro on the left looks built as fuck, bro on the right looks... not very healthy. That's my initial take on it.

I'll track down more info.

[Mister Obvious]

But yeah, like that blurb says...

Rich HAS had a dark history, with suicidal tendencies etc.

This is what truly concerns me about his situation and the state of his happiness or lack thereof.

I hope the people in his life understand how important it is to keep his history in mind and approach him from a standpoint of UNDERSTANDING that...

Not like they've gotta bring it up to him, but they need to know TO THEMSELVES that this has been a problem for him, and they need to really look into any signs that might be there to make sure he's REALLY okay.

And they're gonna need to do that for the rest of his life.

This is a lifelong thing.

I remember in one of his recent vids (dunno which), Rich said something about how it seems like he and others like him are "Not allowed to leave"...

That is an extremely dangerous and erroneous mindset to have.

[Mister Obvious]

Okay so here is Coach Drew dude's channel...

https://www.youtube.com/c/PRAthleticEnterprise/videos

I see videos from Rich's channel addressing Drew, but I don't see any videos on Drew's channel that have Rich in any attention grabbing position...

He's not on any thumbnails, he's not on any titles, so...

Yeah, seems like a one-sided situation as far as I can tell.



I kinda like half listened to this, skipped around in the vid, seems like what he's saying is right on.

It looks like Drew is natty, so that's good. At least he's not binging steroids and stuff, that would suggest he would be open to doing other types of drugs if he did.

I get the vibe that Drew comes from a sordid background... hopefully he's having as much success in changing his life as he tries to portray on his channel.

Seems like the guy is local to Rich (Vegas) and that's why there's such a focus on him. That's good, it's good to have real life physical local connections. I think Drew is too much the 'guru' type to be of any real use to Rich on a personal man-to-man level though.

Wonder if Rich found Drew from the internet (YouTube) and then sought him out in real life because he was local? That's fine, but I think Rich needs to go out and locally, physically meet some guys who ARE NOT INVOLVED IN YOUTUBE AT ALL. I just really strongly feel that for some reason.

So on a YouTube search for "coach drew prathletic rich lopp", there are a few results I'll check out, but there doesn't seem to be all that much.

Let's see...



This was streamed a year ago. They're together in person in this video so that's pretty cool. Now the thing is... I assume this in person stream was filmed at Rich's house, which automatically disqualifies Drew from being any real benefit to Rich (as far as what Rich REALLY needs in a healthy male connection) because that means Drew's met Leah, and potentially the kids. EERRNNTT. Wrong answer. Rich's future male friends need to NEVER MEET HIS WOMAN and never meet his kids, at least not until they've KNOWN RICH EXCLUSIVELY for a year or so.

Listen, I know this all sounds really specific, really technical, think what you want...

But I know I am right about this.

Rich has gotta find healthy male connections and foster them in a neutral environment that is not connected to his own family in any way whatsoever. They need to be VERY separate.
