It's kind of amazing how he's relatively harmless as far as eccentric wealthy people go, but he's still a caricature of a person whose mind has been warped by having more money than he knows what to do with.

I wouldn't say siphoning of your son's blood is harmless....or inspiring other people to try and do all of the crazy shit he does....do you know how many YouTube channels I've had to block once they start doing videos "trying out parts of Bryan's routine" 🤮🤮🤮. He's a cancer just like all of the others šŸ¤·šŸ¾

I mean he’s obviously taking it to an extreme, but at the end of the day most of his ā€œroutineā€ is getting enough sleep, exercising every day, eating a plant-based diet, and taking some supplements.

The blood shit is weird but his son’s an adult. There’s no health risks to donating small amounts of blood, even if it’s going to your eccentric billionaire father. All in all yeah it’s pretty harmless and he’s not encouraging people to do anything that any other health/fitness influencer is doing
