ZDT NIGHTSHIFT FAMILY FEUD, DOA GOON EJECTION SEAT, TEMPORARY CEASE FIRE [ZeroDarkTony] / November 5, 2026 / YouTube / 1CRobsmEKFc
Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., known online as ZeroDarkTony, spent parts of a Nov. 5, 2026 YouTube livestream warning rivals he accused of defamation and slander that he could take legal action against them.
He named the host of Boss Talks Podcast, whom he calls “Boss Slop,” and talked at length about Scott Hochstetter, the streamer known as DOA. He did not say what action he had in mind. Later in the stream he mocked a rival’s looks and questioned whether he is a journalist.
"Keep Talking That Violent Shit"
D’Amato said the Boss Talks host had “slandered, defamed, maligned” him. He described his own restraint as a choice: he knew “what I could do from a legal standpoint” but had not yet decided to act. About a streamer he did not name at that moment, but described as having hit the “goon ejection seat” (minutes earlier he had named Scott), he said, “He is absolutely liable for what he has said.”
Just before the first segment, D’Amato said he had heard that one person told his rival not to go to Sticker Chick’s parents’ house and another told him he should. He asked chat who those people were, dared them to speak up, called them “fucking chicken shits” and told them to come into the chat.
Exhibit A
D’Amato addresses the Boss Talks host and gives what he calls a last warning: “I got you if I want to. You know, if I want to do it, if I want to go through with it, and I don’t really want to, but I’m getting to the point where I feel like I might have to because you just won’t stop. That’s a fucking warning. And that’s your last fucking warning. Try me.”

In the same clip he says he doesn’t understand why his rivals would not “pump the brakes,” adding, “you don’t know what I’m gonna file.”
He says more than once that he does not want to act but may have to. He also accuses the Boss Talks host of “allowing people to dox me in the chat,” when “the rule is no doxing unless it’s me.”
Exhibit B
About 15 minutes later, D’Amato returns to the theme while discussing a streamer he does not name in the clip but describes as someone who never contacted him with questions, as a journalist would: “Don’t push me because I’ve already got it. I could do it tomorrow if I want to. But you’ve been warned.”

As in Exhibit A, he first says, “I don’t want to do it.” He does not say what action he means or what case or filing it would involve. By context the man is the Boss Talks host: right after the clip D’Amato mocks his “big gangster talk” and his sex-toy sales, as he did earlier when he called him Boss Slop, and a minute later he says, “boss you’re not blocked in here.”
Just before the clip, D’Amato mocks the man’s appearance and claims he is “the guy that sneaks up behind people and punches people and sucker punches people in the head.”
Both times, D’Amato described legal action as ready and within reach, and both times he said he had not yet chosen to take it.
