His lack of creativity on display. This would be a good chance for him to pivot away from his running exploits and to become the coach/mentor/guru that he seemingly wants to become eventually. But...ego and being stuck in a creative rut will block that from happening. He still thinks that another massage and he'll be right back to training for Pike's Peak again. He's scrambling right now (no egg pun intended).
If he made a week's worth of vlogs showing him doing some household chores, taking the boys to the park to play, bringing breakfast in bed to his wife, and driving with both hands on the wheel, then he would shut down most of his critics and the DGR Family would swoon.
But the narcissism will prevail and he'll do some dumb and vainglorious workout to prove that he is healed and ready to rock the trail world.
Hold fire, boys. No vlog today, it's a shoe battle. I can't believe he has more time on his hands now and this is the tripe he comes out with.
And he's comparing two shoes that really didn't see a change from last year to this year 😅I think the mid- and outsole are in fact identical.
On the bright side, he's firmly admitted he's injured and needs to rehab. Of course, in classic SJD style he also mentions seeing a whole slew of assorted doctors, PTs, and masseuses; a second opinion is one thing but Seth my brother in Christ please listen to the professionals and allow them some time to see if their course of treatment works.
Lots of heat on his vlog today about his illegal drone shots.
Nothing says inspiring greatness among your fans like ignoring allegations of illegal activity! I have no clue what runs through this man's head. Why doesn't he just come clean or stop making the shots? Is he hoping we will all just go away on our own like a bad case of Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy?

After swatting away TL's idea at the end of yesterday's video (comparing similar models of shoe), the following day's video is suspiciously doing just that.
He's so lost for ideas that he's not even copying other Youtubers, he's copying his wife now...
Seth, it is ok to take a break from running and Vloging to take care of your family and mental health. You might come back faster if you get proper rest
To someone more knowledgeable in the SJD lore than me:
Has Seth ever tried to go the personal coaching route? I know at least a few guys who seemingly make a killing off of writing very simple marathon plans, upcharging the heck out of their clients, and coach like 50-100 people. You’d think with Seth’s death grip over his DGR com-unit-ee that this would be a no-brainer. Especially since most running plans are so formulaic and easy to pump out
I like how Seth's response to injury is like the complete opposite of rest and recovery. Injured hamstring? 20 mile mountain run, followed by a stop at the gym to put more strain on the hammies before he goes home. Hurts to sit down? Better make sure to drive 2 hours just to get to where he wants to run. Rest and recovery? Nah. No sleep, no nutrition. Crazy stuff, man.

I think he already had made that video and TL wanted to score som points "suggesting" what she knew would show up in the vlog. But he didn't want any of that.

He's said in the past that he's very much interested in doing that. So far it doesn't look like he's turned his words into any actual substance though, which honestly is for the best, because he'd probably get someone hurt. He's totally unqualified for it, but his core DGR audience doesn't know any better.
