Swoll starts the video by showing the original video of the boys in front of a mirror. There was a third person in the video, who was changing, and his privacy was not taken into account. The boys did not seem to care about that.

Swoll then started talking in the next clip and said,??You know, I can’t believe videos like this even exist today… As if people don’t know better, which they do. And these two young men are going to learn today. And to think this wasn’t by accident.??He saw that the whole act was intentional and illegal. He said,??You actually angled your phone at that man, pretending as if you’re flexing, trying to record yourselves just so you can catch that man changing, getting in the shower, getting naked. Which I had to cover, by the way. All for what? So, you could make fun of that man’s shame and post it on social media, get a few laughs and some likes and attention. Really??

Finally, Swoll mentioned the legal problems of this and wanted the gym to take action. He explained, ?This can not only come with jail time but heavy fines and force you to register as a s** offender. So, let me ask you, the likes and attention on TikTok, all that nonsense, is it worth it? You need to do better. Mind your own business.?
