The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things
The video discusses the 2004 movie "The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things," in which both Dylan and Cole Sprouse starred.

The plot involves their character, Jeremiah, being persuaded to cross-dress and engage in seduction techniques, including a scene with Marilyn Manson's character.
Manager Josh Workman
The video shifts focus to Josh Workman, the Sprouse twins' manager, who was a convicted criminal. An email excerpt details allegations of Workman inviting child clients to parties, getting them drunk, and touching them inappropriately. Workman was convicted of felony sa by restraint involving a 16-year-old male victim. Despite his conviction, Workman's current whereabouts are unknown. The twins had a close relationship with Workman, who managed them since they were eight years old.
Implications Against Josh
The video shares further allegations against Josh Workman, claiming the Sprouse twins were heavily implicated in the charges against him. It's alleged that the twins lived with Workman full-time without their parents' involvement and that he made them sleep in his bed without clothing and took pictures of them. Additionally, Brian Peck, who was convicted of harming someone from the Amanda Show, later worked on set with Cole and Dylan Sprouse at Disney Channel.
The Twins' Career and Fame
The video discusses how the Sprouse twins recognized they were over-socialized as children, a common issue for child stars. They are defensive about assumptions regarding child stars, having witnessed their friends struggle with fame and the transition to adult life. Cole Sprouse has expressed that fame is a trauma and that he feels the same psychological effects as an adult that he felt as a child.
Cole's Tumblr Experiment
In September 2012, Cole created a Tumblr page called "culture concept" where he interacted with fans and posted photography. However, he deleted the page after a bizarre post, claiming it was a social experiment. His final post was pretentious and confusing, leading fans to question his motives. Cole later posted tweets to clarify the situation, stating that he wanted to see how people reacted to being observed.
Cole's Relationship with Brie
Cole was previously in a relationship with a girl named Brie, and they often hashtagged their posts with #relationshipgoals. They broke up in 2015, and Brie made posts on social media that suggested Cole was the one who ended the relationship. Cole made a tweet about not becoming so jaded by abuse that one's opposition becomes abusive, which some interpreted as victim-blaming.
Cole's Recent Controversies
In August 2021, it was reported that an a-list actor, who had been acting since childhood, yelled at his model girlfriend at dinner until she cried. It was later revealed that this was about Cole Sprouse and his girlfriend, Ari. Cole also faced criticism for making posts about reverse racism, claiming that people can be discriminatory towards white people or males.
Dylan's Life
Dylan seems to be living his best life out of the spotlight, unlike Cole. Cole is more opinionated and sometimes faces backlash for his views. The video concludes by mentioning that Cole is still acting in Riverdale, and the show should end before it gets worse.
Package Opening
The video ends with the host opening a package from a small business called Beantown Buddies, showcasing stickers and a handmade item. She thanks the sender and provides a discount code for her followers.
