I think there are 2 scenarios here
Pouty edits the videos, so
1. This is normal behaviour from prick and he is so used to it. He is also dependable on prick for because he has anxiety issues etc etc.
2. It is all an act and they are playing characters, a bit like good cop, bad cop, because they believe it’s what the audience want?
I’m my opinion it is scenario 2. I really think pricks character is exaggerated ( still a greedy money grabber, buts that’s for a different thread). I’ve worked in mental health for 12 years and in my opinion the stress, anxiety etc doesn’t fit with pouty
