Anyone here once follow DamonAndJo/Shut Up and Go? Damon Dominique tells his side of the split, and

May 2024 · 4 minute read

I don't know if anyone here would've watched this channel back in the day, but if you did, you may be interested in this.

Actually, as weird as it sounds as I am posting it here, I'm not that interested in the drama myself, but I had wondered where they had gone, they used to be all over the place. If you had interests in travel vlogging and languages and stuff, you couldn't miss them, and I assume other posters here have come across them too.

Everyone assumed they had a big falling out, and it seems they were right. One thing that did surprise me was that Netflix wanted only to take on Jo, I always thought Damon was more of the standout of the two, confirmed by his solo channel which is much more interesting and professional looking than Jo's.

Anyway, it is what it is.

And Jo's most recent Twitter, which seems to be a veiled response, is below:

I've never heard of Damon, Jo, Damon and Jo, Shut Up and Go, or any of that shit, but...I found that video really interesting.

Yeah, it's just one of those situations that happens...there is a team, a group, a partnership, whatever, and the Powers That Be decide that they only want one member, and the other(s) can go kick rocks.

It's cool to see somebody stay positive and keep plugging away in the face of setback after setback, and for things to start to work out for him eventually. He seems pretty level-headed, mature, self-aware, and good at communicating on camera. He should continue to do well.

I think so too, R2. From the videos I've seen of him, he has a very natural interest in people which makes his videos more interesting, and is always trying to improve himself.

It must've been hard to work so hard, have only your partner chosen and not you when you come as a team, then realise that your partner being chosen means you have lost your work and income and have to start again, but he's done really well. As I mentioned above, his solo channel is much better done than hers is, I think he has a knack for the creative side of things and hopefully will get an opportunity that uses his skills.

Glad you found it interesting, even without knowing anything about it!

Yeah, I agree. It reminds me in a way of those stories of music producers trying to come between the lead singer and the band and causing friction there. I remember reading an interview with the B52s once where they were laughing about how the record company was so frustrated with them because they had an agreement with each other to make every decision together, with no spokesperson. It was a good idea for a number of reasons though, because without that in place, god knows what fire the company would've tried to put between them.

Leaving aside any issues re: the split, I have to say, Damon's stuff he does on his own is much more interesting than Jo's. He creates these great, approx. half an hour travel documentaries every so often, which are a lot of fun. His Israel and Palestine documentaries were very interesting. Jo's videos are more about: "how I got rich!" "how to make money!" which I don't think is as fun to watch. She does do language learning stuff still occasionally, but even then Damon's videos on that topic go into more detail. I reckon he'll have some good fortune come his way soon.

I just watched that whole vid. And like others who've posted, I have zero idea who any of the players are.

After watching? I really like this kid. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders. And a pretty good attitude (assuming what he says is true) about some pretty shitty things.

I think he's pretty big on self-improvement, R6, from what I've seen. Which hopefully keeps a good head on his shoulders.
