Final Boss Accuses Shulie of Stealing Catchphrase for Merch
Final Boss erupts over Shulie selling 'leveling up in the dab' merchandise, claiming the phrase is his intellectual property.
Final Boss discovered that Shulie has been selling merchandise bearing the phrase 'leveling up in the dab,' which Final Boss claims as his own creation. In a heated clip, he declared: 'You're stealing from me. You're stealing my catchphrase.' He framed the situation as a generational injustice, stating, 'Don't you get it? I'm 27... You did two-thirds of my entire existence on the Howard Stern show... And the best you could come up with, TRULY, IS RIPPING ME OFF.' The hosts noted the absurdity of the math, pointing out that 15 years on the Howard Stern show wouldn't actually be two-thirds of 30 years. The phrase 'leveling up in the dab' is apparently used by multiple people in the Dabbleverse, including Quadfather, though its exact origin remains unclear. One host remarked, 'I don't know who came up with leveling up in the dab. I know that Quadfather says it. I know people say it. I don't know what it means. I don't care.' The discovery of the merchandise added fuel to an already fiery feud, with Final Boss characterizing Shulie as a '60-year-old man with children' ripping off a 'mid-20s guy,' which the hosts found both amusing and emblematic of the ongoing tensions.
