The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1125

00:00:00.000 Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lode Seaters for the 20th of March 2025.

00:00:05.000 I am Josh and I am joined by Harry.

00:00:07.680 Hello.

00:00:08.620 Hello.

00:00:09.220 Hi Harry, how are you doing?

00:00:10.240 Are you ready for the slop cast? 0.98

00:00:12.180 Are you ready to fill your mouths at the trough?

00:00:15.000 Your bellies will never have been so full.

00:00:17.460 My belly's already full.

00:00:18.820 I ate loads and loads of pasta before coming on air.

00:00:21.940 Which is always a good idea before going on camera.

00:00:23.360 It's going to be an aromatic podcast for me.

00:00:26.660 It's not quite to that point yet.

00:00:28.200 Oh, okay.

00:00:28.640 Give it an hour or two.

00:00:30.000 You've just been carb loading.

00:00:31.020 So when we get to comments, that's when I need to duck and cover.

00:00:34.140 Apparently so.

00:00:35.480 So today we are discussing Jeremy Boring stepping down as CEO of the Daily Wire and all the speculation

00:00:41.900 around that.

00:00:43.060 I'm going to be talking about why you shouldn't buy the new Assassin's Creed game.

00:00:47.540 And then we're going to be talking about the misadventures of Harry Sisson.

00:00:51.540 I'm Harry Sisson's top guy. 0.90

00:00:54.320 Yeah, we used to think he was one of them gays. 0.99

00:00:58.180 A bundle of sticks. 0.98

00:01:00.980 What, a Farsis?

00:01:02.380 Yes, exactly.

00:01:03.440 We thought he was a Farsis.

00:01:05.240 Or something else beginning with F.

00:01:06.820 Yeah, something.

00:01:07.540 He still absolutely is, by the way.

00:01:09.660 But a lot less so than we thought.

00:01:12.720 Apparently, if the rumours are to be, well, if all of the controversy is to be believed,

00:01:16.940 again, complete slop.

00:01:19.140 Not real news, but fun.

00:01:21.520 It is fun.

00:01:22.340 And we didn't want to blackpool you.

00:01:23.900 Or ourselves.

00:01:24.820 Yeah, because it's miserable enough doing this podcast sometimes.

00:01:28.340 Here we are, Fruits.

00:01:30.940 Hope you're having a lovely day, though.

00:01:32.620 Yeah.

00:01:32.960 We're in good spirit.

00:01:34.100 It's actually quite nice outside.

00:01:35.600 The weather's all right.

00:01:36.340 It's sunny.

00:01:37.560 I slept well.

00:01:38.760 I'm feeling good-ish.

00:01:40.940 You're full of pasta.

00:01:42.660 It's the natural state of being.

00:01:44.300 Is that the ish?

00:01:45.740 It is the ish, yeah.

00:01:46.960 All right, then I guess we should probably get into it.

00:01:50.260 Yeah, go ahead.

00:01:50.580 Shouldn't we?

00:01:51.080 And by getting into it, I mean you should be buying Islander, which if you haven't done

00:01:55.520 yet, what are you doing?

00:01:56.920 Are you just sitting around doing nothing with your life?

00:01:59.080 What are you doing?

00:01:59.560 Reading books?

00:02:01.200 Reading books?

00:02:02.220 Like Tolkien or something?

00:02:03.620 What are you, a nerd?

00:02:04.560 Read Islander.

00:02:05.260 It'll make you cool.

00:02:06.160 It will make you cool.

00:02:07.260 Some say it comes with experience points that boost your cool ratings and your stats.

00:02:13.440 I don't say this, but some have said.

00:02:16.100 Some have said that it will automatically graft a pair of sunglasses onto you at all times,

00:02:21.340 especially when you're indoors, so you're extra cool.

00:02:23.980 I don't think that's true, but who knows?

00:02:27.940 But I do know that it's got great artwork, great articles.

00:02:31.340 You've heard all of this before. 1.00

00:02:33.520 Chill out your 15 quid, you stingy bastards. 1.00

00:02:37.320 All right. 1.00

00:02:38.080 That's right.

00:02:39.080 Or Harry will get you.

00:02:40.020 All right.

00:02:40.400 I don't actually have a mouse, so there we go.

00:02:44.480 All right.

00:02:44.780 We're a professional outlet here.

00:02:46.100 We're a very professional outlet.

00:02:49.880 All right.

00:02:50.560 Okay.

00:02:51.600 So the news is broke the other day that Jeremy Boring, the co-CEO of The Daily Wire, has decided

00:02:59.480 to step down.

00:03:00.540 There were some people reporting that he was leaving the company altogether.

00:03:03.980 That was incorrect, because what he's actually doing is he's stepping down from the role as

00:03:08.660 co-CEO purely to focus on creative projects for the company.

00:03:13.000 And he told this to his staff in a memo that Axios obtained.

00:03:18.600 They were the first ones to report on this.

00:03:20.920 Jeremy Boring himself reposted this on his Twitter account.

00:03:25.440 And as far as I'm aware, as of yet, the other presenters of Daily Wire, because Jeremy Boring

00:03:32.960 counts as a presenter, he's a very, very up and front CEO, because he hosts one of the

00:03:37.700 backstage shows where he interviews, I think, Matt Walsh, Andrew Clavin, and Ben Shapiro.

00:03:42.920 Similar to how Carl is the CEO of Lotus Eaters, and he's on camera all the time.

00:03:48.120 Yeah, but Carl was like a content producer, first and foremost, before Lotus Eaters, whereas

00:03:53.100 Jeremy Boring, as far as I'm aware, was attempting to start a career in Hollywood previously, and

00:03:58.500 then started financing The Daily Wire, and et cetera, et cetera.

00:04:02.020 But here, Caleb Robinson, the company's founding CEO, will become the company's full-time CEO

00:04:06.880 effective immediately.

00:04:08.220 Robinson and Boring have been co-CEOs since 2019.

00:04:12.120 In the note to staff, Boring said he will remain with the company in an advisory role.

00:04:16.420 He'll continue to host Daily Wire backstage, and he'll focus full-time on creative projects,

00:04:22.260 including the completion of The Daily Wire's TV series, The Pendragon Cycle, in which he

00:04:26.440 serves as director and executive producer.

00:04:28.780 And some information I got from another article was that last year, Boring said that The Daily

00:04:32.500 Wire was on track to hit $200 million in annual revenue, which, to be clear, is separate from

00:04:37.480 profits.

00:04:38.320 Revenue is the gross intake, profits is what you have after expenses.

00:04:41.660 They've been, they've taken on a lot of expenses, from what it sounds like, haven't

00:04:45.580 they?

00:04:46.000 With the film company.

00:04:47.740 Yeah, I was very surprised when I started seeing films coming out of The Daily Wire,

00:04:51.040 because I was thinking to myself, how on earth are they able to finance this sort of thing?

00:04:54.940 Like, they have their own channel with their own programs.

00:04:57.000 Yeah, they've got their Daily Wire Plus, and they've also got, I think, a children's network

00:05:01.780 called Bent Key, which is apparently named after some old theatre company that he used

00:05:06.000 to be part of.

00:05:06.280 Interesting name, though.

00:05:07.340 Yeah, it's a very strange name.

00:05:08.920 It's not the one that I would have gone to, but clearly very sentimental for him.

00:05:12.560 And apparently last year as well, the company was valued at more than $1 billion in its most

00:05:16.540 recent round of funding.

00:05:19.440 So, I have nothing against The Daily Wire, personally.

00:05:22.400 I don't really watch any of their stuff, if I'm honest.

00:05:24.620 We've watched a few of the things that they've produced in the past, like the Matt Walsh,

00:05:28.900 What is a Woman documentary. 0.97

00:05:30.020 But with their films and the things that they've been producing, like in this picture here,

00:05:34.300 you can see that he's got the lady, I think, what was it, lady ballers? 1.00

00:05:38.900 I saw the trailer for that pop up all over the place.

00:05:42.000 I would like to add as well that we can object to the things that the presenters say and

00:05:46.700 not hold a grudge against the outlet, right?

00:05:48.720 Absolutely. 1.00

00:05:49.260 I quite like Matt Walsh sometimes, and then he'll make a completely stupid statement about 0.99

00:05:54.020 video games and how grown men shouldn't play video games. 0.99

00:05:57.940 And I just think to myself, man, you need to chill out, Matt.

00:06:03.140 Yeah, I don't think people should necessarily police people's hobbies in a way where it seems

00:06:09.400 to be quite harmless.

00:06:10.320 If you're just relaxing and you're just like, you're not working, well, I think that actually

00:06:14.580 life should have a bit of a balance.

00:06:16.120 But that's...

00:06:17.000 Obviously, we've engaged in that discussion before.

00:06:19.500 Yeah, video games are fine.

00:06:20.620 Just don't overindulge in them the same as that you can do with anything else.

00:06:23.900 But the thing is that this has begun a lot of rumors and a lot of speculation because

00:06:31.800 it comes quite fast after last year.

00:06:35.360 They lost Candace Owens.

00:06:36.600 They decided to split with Candace Owens due to the fact that she was courting a lot of 1.00

00:06:41.420 controversy with Rabbi Shmuley.

00:06:44.360 I covered a lot of that at the time.

00:06:46.000 She had other interviews with other rabbis that got her in a lot of trouble.

00:06:50.020 She was dubbed Candace Owens at one point, which is...

00:06:53.260 One of my favorite nicknames for a presenter.

00:06:55.920 Not because, you know, I necessarily agree with the characterization.

00:06:59.260 It's just a funny name.

00:07:00.280 Yeah, Rabbi Shmuley needs to have a Greatest Hits compilation out there because that man

00:07:03.740 is a one-man meme machine.

00:07:05.400 I don't know what his politics are, but he's funny.

00:07:07.640 I think he's Republican because he's...

00:07:09.320 Do you really?

00:07:09.820 I think he might be Donald Trump's anti-Semitism international envoy.

00:07:14.580 Yes.

00:07:15.220 The man who dressed up like a...

00:07:17.060 As the Candace Owens Jew. 0.94

00:07:18.160 I hope you will remember that one or this is going to sound like complete nonsense to you. 0.89

00:07:24.740 And to be fair, even if you do know what I'm talking about, it's still complete nonsense

00:07:28.340 because the man is a cartoon character ripped straight from a Goebbels propaganda film.

00:07:33.840 But he owns it.

00:07:35.760 He owns it.

00:07:36.820 He's got a sense of humor.

00:07:37.860 Yeah, he does have a sense of humor. 0.93

00:07:39.280 Also a sex toy company with his daughter. 0.98

00:07:41.800 That's very strange. 0.99

00:07:42.920 That is very strange. 0.99

00:07:44.160 It's kosher sex toys. 0.91

00:07:45.080 Anyway, so she got in a lot of trouble talking about that sort of stuff, and so the company

00:07:50.280 and Candace Owens decided to split ways. 1.00

00:07:52.500 I think it was less than amicable because Jeremy Boring himself was quite unhappy with Candace

00:08:02.000 Owens. 0.95

00:08:02.740 And then just a few months ago, Brett Cooper, who as far as I'm aware, outside of the big

00:08:08.060 names, was the company's fastest rising new star.

00:08:11.540 Her videos on YouTube, on the comments section, were getting like almost a million views, between

00:08:16.240 half a million and a million views each.

00:08:18.780 She announces that she's leaving the company as well.

00:08:21.840 That seemed to be a different situation.

00:08:23.540 I didn't really follow it because I try to keep...

00:08:26.260 Well, there was a lot of drama.

00:08:27.460 A lot of this always ends up just being he said, she said, whispering behind the scenes

00:08:32.040 drama that goes on.

00:08:33.440 But it does have larger implications for the company and where the company is going.

00:08:37.140 Because at the same time as around that, December 10th, I believe, Brett Cooper announced that

00:08:41.360 she was leaving on December 11th.

00:08:43.440 There was sudden speculation that Fox News were eyeing up potential acquisitions of conservative

00:08:51.220 podcast companies, including the Daily Wire.

00:08:53.520 Boring addressed this himself and said the company isn't actively looking for a buyer,

00:08:58.860 but were not closed off to an offer.

00:09:01.500 So that was some strange news to come out at the same time as all of this.

00:09:05.400 And again, it has all led to a lot of speculation.

00:09:08.740 Now, Ian Carroll is a somewhat divisive figure.

00:09:11.960 He was actually a really good source of information for all of the Diddy stuff that was coming out

00:09:16.460 last year.

00:09:17.300 And I liked some of the stuff that he's put out.

00:09:18.920 The ADL did do a little warning on Joe Rogan after Joe Rogan had Ian Carroll on.

00:09:26.780 Because everyone knows that the ADL are the ultimate arbiters of what is allowed to be

00:09:31.920 said.

00:09:32.460 The most trustworthy organization.

00:09:35.620 And there's nothing suspicious at all about the circumstances in which they were set up

00:09:39.460 in the 1910s.

00:09:40.600 I go to the ADL for all of my information.

00:09:43.340 And they're so impartial.

00:09:44.420 Oh, absolutely.

00:09:45.460 It was so great how they strong-armed Iceland into not banning circumcision. 0.96

00:09:52.000 That's still an absurd story to me that they managed to do that.

00:09:55.880 But either way, so just full disclosure, Ian Carroll, I don't watch all of his stuff.

00:10:01.940 I see him pop up every so often.

00:10:04.480 A lot of the stuff that he gets is basically like allegations, rumors, hearsay.

00:10:10.540 And he is also a supporter of Candace Owens.

00:10:13.820 So he does have his own perspective.

00:10:15.580 From what I have seen of him, though, what he says is interesting.

00:10:18.720 And I can tell that he's trying to be impartial.

00:10:21.440 Whether he is or not, obviously, it's not up to me to say.

00:10:24.920 But he at least has things to contribute.

00:10:28.340 I can say that.

00:10:28.680 But the information that he gives in here is interesting because he's stating that he has

00:10:32.540 sources from inside the Daily Wire itself who are dissatisfied with how the company is

00:10:37.860 being run.

00:10:38.360 And in this video, Candace Owens did, just two days ago, where she was addressing the

00:10:45.400 news that Jeremy Boring was stepping down, she said that she had learned from Ian Carroll

00:10:51.240 himself information about the inner workings of the Daily Wire and why she was let go that

00:10:56.240 even she wasn't made aware of.

00:10:57.960 So it does seem that he has insider contacts on this kind of thing.

00:11:03.180 So what he has said, and these are all allegations, speculation.

00:11:06.680 Again, I don't really watch the Daily Wire.

00:11:09.640 I have no personal investment in whether they succeed or fail.

00:11:13.040 We also live in the political commentary sphere.

00:11:15.720 So I find I don't watch any other political content because I just go directly to the source

00:11:20.960 and figure it out for myself.

00:11:22.460 Because also, as a content creator, if I dare call myself that, you sort of don't want to

00:11:28.160 listen to what other people are saying.

00:11:29.880 Opinion coloured by other people, right? 0.92

00:11:32.000 Yeah.

00:11:32.480 I feel like it's almost a bit of bad form.

00:11:36.260 It's like reading the room and then trying to say the thing that is the most socially

00:11:39.900 acceptable.

00:11:40.760 I try and avoid that if possible.

00:11:42.660 Yeah, I have that same impulse.

00:11:44.160 You want to be original and you also want to have integrity.

00:11:47.500 So I don't really watch the Daily Wire.

00:11:49.600 I don't watch many.

00:11:50.320 I don't watch Steven Crowder.

00:11:51.400 I don't watch any of these American shows.

00:11:52.780 I will occasionally watch Oron McIntyre or Dave Smith if they have a particularly interesting

00:11:58.160 guest on.

00:11:59.500 But that's about as much as I do.

00:12:00.900 Most of my content that I watch is like wrestling audiobooks.

00:12:06.140 Wrestling audiobooks.

00:12:07.800 It's a very interesting experience.

00:12:09.680 It's very niche.

00:12:10.420 Yeah, it is.

00:12:11.460 It really gets your imagination going.

00:12:13.520 I didn't know you listened to those, Harry.

00:12:15.460 No, and I also watch a lot of history stuff and read books, which is very nice.

00:12:20.320 But you should be reading Islander, not reading books.

00:12:23.000 Islander is much better for you. 0.95

00:12:24.380 But anyway, Ian's information that he gives is that he is saying that there is potentially

00:12:29.380 outside finance and investment companies, particularly a company called Silver Lake, who are going

00:12:35.500 to be coming in, investing in the Daily Wire.

00:12:38.140 He's heard rumors that they're interested.

00:12:40.100 These are all rumors.

00:12:41.460 This is all stuff that he's heard from his sources from within the Daily Wire.

00:12:45.300 People as well in the replies have been saying things like, you say allegedly a lot of

00:12:50.300 in this, bro.

00:12:51.300 He's saying that he trusts his sources.

00:12:53.640 So I think that's important to say allegedly, because if you know something for certain and

00:12:59.360 it's been proved to you by a source and you know, you know, without a doubt that it's

00:13:04.880 true, you can afford to not say allegedly.

00:13:06.780 But I think it is important if you're hearing things as accounts of other people that might

00:13:11.480 have an interest in feeding you false stories, potentially.

00:13:14.640 It is important to ring fence this and say, listen, this is what I've been told.

00:13:19.360 So take it with a pinch of salt.

00:13:20.600 I mean, that's I don't think that's a criticism.

00:13:22.240 The other thing is that he did in December last year, December 2nd, managed to break the

00:13:28.640 news.

00:13:29.160 He said that there was a scoop coming, which was that Brett Cooper would be leaving the

00:13:32.640 company and that they might be forcing her out and replacing her with her best friend. 0.97

00:13:36.860 Now, of course, since that has happened, she was replaced by her best friend who she doesn't

00:13:44.080 seem to be friends with anymore for the same show, which now its views are nowhere near

00:13:48.800 as high as they used to be.

00:13:49.880 Again, they've gone from like half a million to a million per video to like 20,000 to 50,000

00:13:53.880 per video, which, you know, is still not awful, but nowhere near the figures that they

00:13:58.020 were getting before.

00:13:58.980 They don't seem to be friends anymore, but people who are involved have denied that they

00:14:03.120 forced her out or that there were they were intentionally replacing her with her best friend.

00:14:08.200 She was just offered a contract because she was friends with Brett, et cetera, et cetera.

00:14:11.600 But he did manage to say that it looks like she's leaving about a week before she announced

00:14:17.260 it herself, a week and a half even.

00:14:20.780 So, you know, he does seem to be on the money with some of this stuff.

00:14:24.260 And if it is coming from his inside sources, then he does seem to be able to get some accurate

00:14:28.880 information from it, even if some of it can be a little bit.

00:14:33.120 Not necessarily tainted, but not always accurate or at least not always completely accurate.

00:14:38.540 But then again, as well, we don't actually know what was going on behind the scenes.

00:14:42.780 I imagine that with a lot of these things, there's a lot of complicated things that were

00:14:47.440 you to know the full picture, it'd be very different than what goes on in the outside.

00:14:52.060 I've sort of...

00:14:52.600 Yeah, there's two sides to every story.

00:14:54.320 There always is, isn't there?

00:14:55.620 Yeah, and it's interesting because I think the suggestion that maybe the Daily Wire is

00:15:01.280 not doing too well, that I've heard Ian Carroll talk about, that is going to change the political

00:15:07.080 landscape of the so-called online rights in America and the world, isn't it?

00:15:12.600 It's not...

00:15:13.620 Yeah.

00:15:13.740 They are a huge company with huge names attached to them.

00:15:17.060 Not to say that people like Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, Andrew Clavin, Michael Knowles wouldn't

00:15:21.260 be able to survive outside of it.

00:15:23.180 They would do great.

00:15:25.100 But having that one company that it's all focused around disappear, if what he's saying

00:15:30.620 is true, or at least fundamentally change its organizational structure, would be a big

00:15:35.700 change.

00:15:36.140 Yeah, and I might say something a little bit controversial here, I think the Daily Wire

00:15:43.160 going away might be a good thing, if it does happen.

00:15:47.720 How so?

00:15:48.760 I think a lot of the time, it seems like it's almost...

00:15:54.380 This is just my opinion.

00:15:55.980 It seems like they've become very commercial, and they're sort of becoming the mainstream

00:16:02.400 media in a lot of ways.

00:16:04.100 And it's not to criticize everyone blanketly, I'm just talking about my overall vibe, which

00:16:10.620 isn't worth much, let's be honest.

00:16:12.460 No, that's fair.

00:16:12.900 I mean, from what is being alleged here, the company has been incredibly centered around

00:16:18.140 Jeremy Boring himself, and his own aspirations of becoming a Hollywood star, Hollywood insider

00:16:24.880 film company.

00:16:25.240 Which is expensive.

00:16:26.560 Yeah, and he has said in different interviews that he's given character profiles of himself,

00:16:31.320 that he's always been very passionate about film, wanting to start things.

00:16:35.600 They started their own film company, they've done a few films here and there.

00:16:38.900 They announced a Snow White adaptation with Brett Cooper, which was discussed recently on

00:16:44.840 the Tim Pool show, where they were saying, don't think it's happening anymore.

00:16:49.000 The last update on it was back in 2023 when it was announced.

00:16:52.600 My completely worthless speculation is, with him stepping down, they're moving away from

00:17:00.020 the film side of things, which is very expensive and very risky, as are all films, not just Daily

00:17:05.160 Wire films, just filmmaking in general, as we well know.

00:17:07.900 Yes.

00:17:08.340 You are taking a big risk with a film.

00:17:11.180 It could be a great film, it could be well-received and just not make money.

00:17:15.480 And so it's one of those things where if you're being fiscally conservative and trying to build

00:17:20.860 a political commentary empire, you wouldn't necessarily look at it because it is a way

00:17:26.700 of potentially throwing everything you've built into a fire.

00:17:29.540 Well yeah, because as we've mentioned many times when covering films before, the budget

00:17:33.300 is not the only thing that you're spending on the television show, you're also spending

00:17:38.320 about the same amount as the budget, typically, for the marketing as well.

00:17:42.600 Yeah, the rule of thumb, whatever the budget is, double it for the marketing costs as well.

00:17:47.300 So for a television series like they were trying to produce with the Pendragon cycle,

00:17:52.120 which was supposed to be produced and released on their platform last year and is still nowhere

00:17:58.080 to be seen, that's a huge investment.

00:18:02.420 That's a huge cost.

00:18:04.020 Television is ridiculously expensive to produce, especially if you're talking about high fantasy

00:18:09.360 television.

00:18:10.720 And then you've got to go into all of the marketing as well.

00:18:14.020 And so you can say we've got a revenue, $200 million, that's fantastic, but where is that

00:18:19.100 revenue going?

00:18:20.100 And I think...

00:18:20.560 I imagine the contracts for people like Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro are expensive enough

00:18:25.400 by themselves, and then if you decide that you're going to go on and produce television

00:18:29.140 with all the expenses there as well.

00:18:31.140 $200 million is not even the budget of a single high-budget Hollywood film these days.

00:18:37.940 What was it?

00:18:38.380 That bloody Red One, The Rock?

00:18:42.160 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:43.040 Wasn't the budget for that like $250 million by itself with The Rock taking $50 million for

00:18:49.340 his own paycheck for that?

00:18:51.060 It's also worth mentioning, again, a bit more speculation.

00:18:53.680 But I could see something happening where a lot of money is going towards these long-term

00:18:58.400 multi-year commitments to make films, and say someone in The Daily Wire suddenly has a

00:19:05.780 sort of meteoric rise, and they don't have any wiggle room to renegotiate a contract that's

00:19:10.000 more appropriate with their newfound acclaim and viewership, because The Daily Wire has a

00:19:15.520 lot of money tied up in these projects.

00:19:17.140 I could see it causing a lot of problems with people feeling like they're being undervalued

00:19:21.800 and perhaps being ripped off in a stronger sense, because The Daily Wire, even with the

00:19:28.560 best intentions, might not be able to give them what they deserve.

00:19:33.320 And from what I've heard...

00:19:33.860 It can't be malicious, it can just be trying to overextend yourself as a company.

00:19:37.600 And from what I've heard, it seems to be the case that there have been lots of people that

00:19:42.460 are sour on contracts and things like that, which...

00:19:45.400 I mean, Stephen Crowder made his whole feelings known about the contract that was offered to

00:19:49.600 him two years ago, even though it was, what, a $50 million contract?

00:19:52.760 Yeah, when I heard that, I was like, wow, okay, that...

00:19:54.700 I think it was spread out over like five or ten years, I believe.

00:19:59.120 But I think his main complaint was the fact that he didn't want to have to stick so rigidly

00:20:03.560 to the terms of YouTube and platforms like that that are going to censor him.

00:20:07.640 Yeah, I mean, fair enough.

00:20:09.760 It's annoying to have to deal with YouTube terms.

00:20:12.360 Yeah, don't I know it, yeah.

00:20:13.740 Yeah, but basically, Ian Carroll is alleging that what he has been told is that things like

00:20:19.440 the film company, the Pendragon cycle in particular, might be moved away from Daily Wire because

00:20:26.640 Boring is not permitted inside the company.

00:20:29.480 I don't know how true that is.

00:20:30.440 But he does say that the series is apparently over-budget by about $50 million.

00:20:35.620 It often happens.

00:20:36.300 I could believe that.

00:20:37.300 Very, very easy thing to have happen, especially when its production cycle has gone well beyond

00:20:42.500 what they were originally planning for, if they were originally planning on releasing

00:20:45.500 it last year.

00:20:46.680 Apparently, as a result of this, loads of the producers' company credit cards got frozen,

00:20:51.960 and he does say that the company is bankrupt.

00:20:53.840 We'll see in the future if any of this comes out to be true, but it is very, very interesting.

00:20:58.620 And he said that the Fox News deal mentioning that was a way of Jeremy Boring and other people

00:21:04.100 trying to drum up interest in outside investment to the company to try and recoup some of those

00:21:09.980 funds.

00:21:10.600 Because whether or not they're in a great financial situation right now, we'll see if

00:21:15.260 that's true or not, that it is still a huge platform.

00:21:18.020 Big brand recognition.

00:21:19.360 So if you've got outside investors to come in, they might be able to reformat things,

00:21:23.960 fix things up.

00:21:24.820 You never know.

00:21:25.680 It happens a lot with companies, doesn't it?

00:21:27.200 Yeah.

00:21:27.600 It remains to be seen whether that actually happens or not, or if any of this is true.

00:21:32.060 The other thing I wanted to mention was just, of course, Candace Owens talking about this.

00:21:36.040 She, fair play to her, was very, very down the line with all of this.

00:21:40.540 She was not gloating.

00:21:41.360 She did not go into any petty backstage rumor mill stuff. 0.76

00:21:45.620 But she did say that Jeremy Boring was a very, again, front and center CEO, which for

00:21:50.840 a person who, as far as I'm aware, was not a content creator like Carl was before he got

00:21:54.880 involved in the company, was very, very unusual.

00:21:58.020 We know that he wanted a career in Hollywood and he wanted to try to turn the Daily Wire

00:22:02.980 into his pet project for a big Hollywood film style production company.

00:22:07.580 And she also said it was always funny that whenever there was a product that they were

00:22:11.780 about to release, like the Razors after the Gillette controversy, and the chocolate bars

00:22:17.520 after Hershey's and everything, it was always somebody else's idea, according to Candace,

00:22:22.120 and then he would just name it after himself.

00:22:24.800 Also, he refers to himself as the God King.

00:22:29.420 Also, very modest.

00:22:30.620 So, it does seem that him stepping back as the co-CEO might be a PR move.

00:22:38.440 It might also be to quell some of the issues that are developing within the Daily Wire.

00:22:43.140 Again, all we know is rumors and things that are coming from secondhand sources.

00:22:48.860 But with everything that's been said, the lineup, the personnel changes that have been happening

00:22:54.360 over the past year, I wouldn't be surprised if some of this turns out to be true.

00:22:58.300 He's obviously got a big personality, he obviously is a very, very ambitious person,

00:23:03.500 and that, in a company like this, can grind against people, and grind against the overall

00:23:09.080 ambitions of the company as it was originally started.

00:23:12.240 You start off as, we're going to be a conservative commentary channel where we do all of this

00:23:17.620 cultural stuff, and then he goes, I want to make movies.

00:23:20.680 That's a big shift.

00:23:22.420 It is.

00:23:22.880 That's a huge shift, especially when you're trying to stand up to, I think, the Snow White

00:23:27.120 announcement was in response to Disney's announcement.

00:23:30.580 You've also, as a political company, you've already disaffected, what, 50% of the American

00:23:35.060 population by being a political company.

00:23:38.860 Yes.

00:23:39.120 So you've got a much harder job with a much narrower budget.

00:23:44.200 You've really got to thread a needle to make it work there.

00:23:47.040 Yeah, but to be fair to her, she said that whatever is happening behind the scenes, she thinks

00:23:51.540 it's a good move.

00:23:52.740 Perhaps, again, also, there's also the fact that over the past 10 days or so, he has been

00:23:57.040 very aggressive towards people on Twitter, and I don't know if having the co-CEO of the

00:24:04.240 company, who's got such a public profile, getting into feuds with people constantly was maybe

00:24:10.160 the look that the Daily Wire were going for.

00:24:12.160 It's not a good idea even if you're...

00:24:13.480 Controversial enough.

00:24:14.340 It's not a good idea even if you're, you know, on your own, you're a solo act, you

00:24:18.400 know?

00:24:18.640 Not that I would know about drumming up controversy on Twitter.

00:24:21.960 Yeah, you're...

00:24:23.120 I'm a good boy.

00:24:23.720 Tell us about it, Harry.

00:24:24.780 I'm a little angel.

00:24:26.020 Just check my feed.

00:24:27.020 I'm a good boy.

00:24:28.680 Most of the time, it's just people being annoyed at me.

00:24:30.600 I don't tend to have a go at people that much.

00:24:32.780 Yeah, I...

00:24:33.200 Although my segment yesterday, I was having a go at someone.

00:24:35.200 I did manage to get into some trouble yesterday by just pointing out that most white Americans

00:24:40.200 are of English and British ancestry.

00:24:43.840 That's not an insult.

00:24:44.500 They didn't like that.

00:24:45.600 We are British.

00:24:46.740 We mean it.

00:24:47.340 Is that such an insult?

00:24:49.140 Robert E. Lee's ancestors were from Shropshire.

00:24:52.280 And that's a good thing.

00:24:55.040 It's a good thing.

00:24:56.820 We mean it as a compliment.

00:24:58.360 Yeah, exactly.

00:24:59.340 At least you're not, I don't know, French. 1.00

00:25:01.580 Like those Canadians. 0.99

00:25:04.940 Anyway, so, you know, everyone was being very even-handed.

00:25:08.000 We'll see what comes of this.

00:25:09.240 I don't want the Daily Wire to fail.

00:25:12.440 I don't want them to have anything bad go on.

00:25:15.820 I don't want people's careers to be destroyed if they do go under,

00:25:19.660 because there will be certainly a lot of really good people working in the company.

00:25:23.700 But we'll see.

00:25:24.700 It remains to be seen if the rumors that are going around right now are true.

00:25:31.100 Nope.

00:25:31.800 Do we have any rumble chats?

00:25:33.760 No, we do not.

00:25:34.780 Nobody wanted to give me money for that one.

00:25:36.760 Oh, dear.

00:25:37.860 Just like my birthday again.

00:25:38.960 Oh, there you go.

00:25:40.040 The Habsification for $1. 0.99

00:25:42.380 Harry, what is your opinion on John Cena's heel turn?

00:25:45.920 That's an excellent question, actually.

00:25:48.640 Thank you for asking.

00:25:49.900 I think it's really exciting.

00:25:51.300 John Cena is kind of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pull a heel turn like this,

00:25:55.900 because he's been a good guy, a very divisive good guy for over 20 years.

00:26:01.360 It's not even like Hogan in the NWO in 96, where Hogan had been a heel before.

00:26:07.300 John Cena was last a heel in like 2003, 2004, and it's his last year as a performer, even part-time in it.

00:26:16.640 So I think it presents a lot of really interesting opportunities for storytelling, especially with him lining up with The Rock against Cody Rhodes.

00:26:23.780 I think it'd be really cool.

00:26:24.800 So I'm excited to see what they do with it, especially at WrestleMania.

00:26:28.060 He asked a question.

00:26:29.160 I gave his answer.

00:26:30.000 Very thorough.

00:26:31.880 Our WWE correspondent over there.

00:26:34.180 I'll happily do it.

00:26:35.660 Send me to WrestleMania, Carl.

00:26:37.340 I'll get Lotus Eater's coverage.

00:26:39.120 Oh, we've got another one coming.

00:26:40.940 $5 in XCO.

00:26:43.320 The Lotus Eaters should enter the movie business and bring Conor back as Baldwin of Jerusalem. 0.91

00:26:48.300 I think that would be an incredibly risky investment and a complete waste of money.

00:26:53.080 It sounds like a great way for me to be unemployed.

00:26:56.400 Yeah, it sounds like a great way for me to be even poorer.

00:27:00.000 Keep those rumble rants coming in, please. 0.89

00:27:02.360 They help us keep the lights on.

00:27:04.400 We don't mean in the office.

00:27:05.740 We mean at home.

00:27:06.720 Yeah.

00:27:07.300 Yeah, and they help me defend the rats.

00:27:10.340 Fend them away.

00:27:11.540 They get very big where we live.

00:27:14.120 Anyway.

00:27:16.040 I'm going to talk about Assassin's Creed Shadows because it comes out today and I don't think you should buy it.

00:27:21.540 Boo.

00:27:21.700 Exactly.

00:27:22.320 Don't buy it.

00:27:23.040 Boo.

00:27:23.300 But what you should buy that there's no controversy around is Island Magazine because it's almost about to sell out.

00:27:29.600 So it's actually not got long left until you can buy it.

00:27:33.240 And the issues are limited.

00:27:34.400 Once they're off of sale, you can't buy them again.

00:27:37.500 And it is a beautiful work of art.

00:27:40.080 I mean, look at how gorgeous it is.

00:27:42.480 And there are lots of interesting articles from lots of prominent and interesting people.

00:27:46.160 And I feel like it's very reasonably priced.

00:27:49.060 And it also is getting to you very quickly, I hear.

00:27:52.160 I think even in the States, it's taking about a week.

00:27:57.140 Yeah, they've been getting it really quickly.

00:27:58.240 It's very speedy.

00:27:59.740 It's reasonably priced.

00:28:01.180 And you can support us because we're all very poor.

00:28:04.240 And it would be nice.

00:28:05.560 You get something in return.

00:28:06.680 You help us.

00:28:07.420 Everyone's a winner.

00:28:08.340 And it's very limited.

00:28:09.800 That's true.

00:28:10.360 So you get to be cool and exclusive as well.

00:28:12.680 We also have some t-shirts and mugs as well on there if you're not into reading, like me.

00:28:18.280 Josh's secret is he can't read.

00:28:20.140 I can't.

00:28:20.980 That's why I struggle when I'm reading the comments all the time.

00:28:22.660 It's the Scott in you.

00:28:24.400 But anyway, here they are.

00:28:26.100 Look at them.

00:28:26.640 Lovely.

00:28:27.080 Lovely stuff.

00:28:28.740 But yes, it all starts with...

00:28:33.740 My box is not working.

00:28:35.820 Box is not working.

00:28:36.640 I've been...

00:28:37.260 A tragic tale.

00:28:38.960 Ah, there we go.

00:28:39.460 Thank you.

00:28:40.780 It all started with this.

00:28:43.000 Assassin's Creed Shadows.

00:28:44.300 This was the premiere.

00:28:45.580 This came out in May of 2024.

00:28:47.540 I can't believe it's only been 10 months.

00:28:49.740 I know.

00:28:50.220 It feels like it's been going on for years.

00:28:52.300 And then you look at the comments.

00:28:53.620 The most heroic thing about this trailer is that they left the comments open.

00:28:57.020 Always remember the best part about a Ubisoft game is usually the trailers.

00:29:01.400 If you want Assassin's Creed in Japan, play Ghost of Tsushima.

00:29:05.020 Rip, Ubisoft.

00:29:06.260 Thank you for my happy childhood.

00:29:07.980 Remember, never pre-order.

00:29:09.460 These are all the top comments.

00:29:11.800 I mean, fair play to them for not deleting them.

00:29:14.000 I know.

00:29:14.540 I mean, that takes some balls. 1.00

00:29:16.380 This is a new kind of guerrilla marketing. 0.99

00:29:19.020 And of course, the main controversy at first is that the assassins are a black man and a woman,

00:29:25.480 which is not historically accurate, really.

00:29:28.720 Not as far as I'm aware.

00:29:29.980 They're being a samurai nor an assassin.

00:29:31.720 And maybe there's historic precedent for women, but it's unusual. 1.00

00:29:36.540 And it seems to be that they're just pandering.

00:29:39.860 Does your box work over there?

00:29:42.800 I think it does.

00:29:43.720 Okay.

00:29:45.000 I steal yours.

00:29:46.780 Thank you.

00:29:48.280 Foundational black Japanese.

00:29:50.640 There you go.

00:29:53.480 Recreation of a sacred image there.

00:29:56.480 The passing of the mouse.

00:29:57.580 Again, this is the second time we've done that.

00:29:58.720 I know.

00:29:59.060 It always happens, doesn't it?

00:30:00.000 Thank you.

00:30:01.520 So, yes.

00:30:03.060 It created a multitude of memes.

00:30:05.960 This is, of course, Tariq Nasheed turned into a samurai.

00:30:09.480 No, this is just not turned into.

00:30:11.280 He is.

00:30:12.120 I forgot.

00:30:12.760 Yeah.

00:30:12.960 Samurai.

00:30:13.400 His conversion to a samurai was relatively recent.

00:30:15.380 And it reminds me of things like this.

00:30:21.040 Real history.

00:30:21.920 So, this is African Hub, which posts loads of revisionist history.

00:30:28.080 One of my favorite accounts.

00:30:29.060 Because there is no notion that this is AI generated.

00:30:34.460 Obviously, the community understands.

00:30:37.060 But they're just like, the media will never tell you about this.

00:30:40.620 And that's because...

00:30:42.120 Also...

00:30:42.920 In the office yesterday, we had a genius idea, which is once we're in charge, we're going

00:30:48.960 to set up an enormous fund that will auto-generate this kind of propaganda and disseminate it

00:30:56.180 to black TikTok.

00:30:58.360 And we just have fun with it and see what happens.

00:31:01.700 Do you know that the first people on the moon were actually black?

00:31:06.140 Neil Armstrong.

00:31:07.560 What else are they keeping from us, Josh?

00:31:09.640 I know.

00:31:10.060 The real Neil Armstrong is actually kept secret.

00:31:13.840 His real name was Neil High Jump.

00:31:16.320 High Jump?

00:31:17.600 What? 0.99

00:31:18.080 White men can't jump. 0.98

00:31:19.280 Oh, right. 0.93

00:31:19.660 Why do you think he was able to take those big jumps on the moon, Josh?

00:31:23.060 That's true, yeah.

00:31:25.280 Reddit defended this sort of thing, saying,

00:31:27.480 this guy was a samurai.

00:31:29.420 If you disagree, you can do that somewhere else.

00:31:31.920 This was the Assassin's Creed moderators posting this.

00:31:34.760 Of course, the actual historic evidence is that he was a page boy or something like that.

00:31:39.240 Basically a retainer.

00:31:40.360 Like a...

00:31:40.920 You can find all of the written evidence that we have of his existence on his Wikipedia page.

00:31:47.020 And it's about five lines from people's diaries.

00:31:50.420 But from what I was able to gather, Oda Nobunaga kept him as a curiosity.

00:31:56.040 Similar to how Henry VIII had a black trumpeter.

00:31:59.100 How it's just like, look at me, I've got this interesting far-flung person.

00:32:02.480 Anti-exotic and cosmopolitan.

00:32:05.020 Yes, it's been going on that long.

00:32:06.520 Yep.

00:32:06.720 But yes, this all seems to originate from this sort of thing.

00:32:13.280 A book by Thomas Lockley.

00:32:15.040 Ah, yes.

00:32:15.860 Where he writes the true story of the legendary African samurai,

00:32:19.660 which is a fiction book.

00:32:21.820 Let me just scroll down, because I just want to see.

00:32:25.640 480 pages out of, again, historical documents,

00:32:30.140 maybe five lines proving his existence,

00:32:32.940 managed to get 480 pages.

00:32:34.940 Did he mix this up with the anime Afro Samurai?

00:32:38.660 I thought he was watching a documentary.

00:32:40.980 But, he actually denied that he was a consultant for Ubisoft,

00:32:45.640 but actually, this wasn't true.

00:32:48.580 And he had helped.

00:32:50.280 And you can see why.

00:32:51.900 Not only would they probably pay him,

00:32:53.440 but his book will do a lot better.

00:32:55.020 I think he was...

00:32:55.620 Lots of people are all of a sudden interested in the protagonist.

00:32:58.460 Yeah, I think he was also caught writing the Britannica,

00:33:02.200 Encyclopedia Britannica page.

00:33:04.460 It was Wikipedia.

00:33:05.680 He was re-editing the page.

00:33:06.960 Yeah, he was re-editing Wikipedia as well.

00:33:08.740 And he got caught out.

00:33:10.080 There's a very long...

00:33:11.460 And he was very clearly doing it just in time for his book to come out,

00:33:16.680 so that if people went, 0.97

00:33:18.020 this sounds like absolute rubbish, 0.97

00:33:20.240 I'm not going to buy that. 0.78

00:33:21.560 They would look at the Wikipedia page and go,

00:33:23.260 oh, I want to learn more if this is all true.

00:33:25.760 Buy his book.

00:33:27.040 But the lie...

00:33:27.700 Citing his own book that hadn't even been published yet for the sources.

00:33:31.380 Yes.

00:33:32.320 I know.

00:33:33.060 But the lie travelled.

00:33:34.100 Companies like IGN that are known for being insufferable and pandering to wokeness said, 0.96

00:33:38.480 in Assassin's Creed Shadows,

00:33:39.800 you'll play as two protagonists.

00:33:41.660 Yasuke, a real historical figure known as the legendary African samurai.

00:33:46.020 He was real,

00:33:47.280 but he wasn't the legendary African samurai.

00:33:49.540 That part is not true.

00:33:50.760 I think what people get mixed up on is Japan knows that there was basically a black guy

00:33:57.160 who was a retainer to...

00:33:58.960 Existed at some point.

00:34:00.300 Who existed at some point.

00:34:01.880 And they have incorporated the idea of a black samurai into a lot of their fiction.

00:34:07.480 Like in Sekiro, you can come across a black samurai.

00:34:10.660 There is the anime Afro samurai.

00:34:13.700 That in games like...

00:34:15.520 I forget what it's called.

00:34:17.620 The one that wasn't Sekiro.

00:34:19.160 You know what I'm on about.

00:34:20.460 Anyway, the one that was about a Welshman.

00:34:22.260 An actual...

00:34:23.100 An actual Brit who did actually end up becoming a samurai in Japan.

00:34:27.840 And he's fighting monsters.

00:34:28.980 There's black samurai in that.

00:34:30.880 So they incorporate it into that.

00:34:32.660 And then people go,

00:34:33.480 Oh, I guess he really must have been real then.

00:34:35.180 I guess he must have really been a samurai then.

00:34:37.240 But they were not black samurai.

00:34:39.000 That is not true.

00:34:40.300 I don't know why I said it in a weird voice.

00:34:41.440 But it's still not true.

00:34:43.680 And...

00:34:43.880 Yes.

00:34:45.640 There's things like this.

00:34:47.720 Senior writer for Assassin's Creed Shadows declared,

00:34:50.560 There's more than enough games out there with white men as the only playable character. 1.00

00:34:55.580 Let's do better.

00:34:57.260 Well, why don't you make him Japanese? 0.97

00:34:59.940 That is a perfectly possible thing.

00:35:02.000 Are you looking up the name of the...

00:35:03.000 It's really bugging me now.

00:35:04.500 Go ahead.

00:35:04.960 Pretty sure Team Ninja are the ones who made it.

00:35:07.880 Team Ninja.

00:35:08.640 What games did they make?

00:35:09.820 Please carry it.

00:35:11.460 Neo.

00:35:12.060 Neo.

00:35:12.540 Oh, I was going to say that.

00:35:14.220 But I've never played them.

00:35:15.140 So I don't want to get it wrong.

00:35:16.100 I've heard it's very good.

00:35:17.120 I need to play it at some point.

00:35:18.720 Speaking of which,

00:35:19.580 I think Ubisoft might have panicked because there was a paid shill here.

00:35:24.200 This guy had worked for Sweet Baby Inc.

00:35:26.360 One of the wokest consultancy companies going.

00:35:29.420 And he's also a former Ubisoft consultant and freelancer.

00:35:33.760 And he writes Polygon and IGN, which says it all.

00:35:36.500 He went and spoke to the New York Times saying that actually this was well received in Japan

00:35:41.780 and that criticism in Japanese was translated from English.

00:35:45.940 He was basically trying to say that it's all made up, which is not true.

00:35:48.900 He was pulling cover for them.

00:35:50.400 He was, yeah.

00:35:51.140 Which was another one of the scandals.

00:35:53.660 And then there was this scandal where one of the promotional toys they made for the game

00:35:57.920 is a destroyed Tori Gate, which is only seen at Nagasaki as a war memorial for the atomic bomb being dropped.

00:36:04.820 And so having them like climbing over it and making light of it is a bit disrespectful.

00:36:11.140 And also one of them isn't even Japanese.

00:36:13.140 That's true.

00:36:14.080 It'd be a lot worse if it were an American company, but it's French. 1.00

00:36:17.120 So, you know, they got away a little bit with that one.

00:36:19.980 Also, some of the, I think it's one of the promotional books, an art book, has Qing dynasty patterns,

00:36:30.740 which if you're not an Eastern historian, the Qing dynasty was a Chinese dynasty.

00:36:37.080 And the female protagonist is meant to be written to be from Iger.

00:36:43.140 You've got to be careful how you say that.

00:36:46.260 And they have their own famous style of pottery.

00:36:49.160 So they could have just included that and they could have built upon the world in an interesting way.

00:36:54.040 But instead, they covered their art book with non-Japanese patterns.

00:37:00.060 It's not just the black samurai thing then.

00:37:02.540 So Assassin's Creed, which used to be like, obviously there's sci-fi elements and everything,

00:37:06.420 but we try and make the historical setting as accurate as possible

00:37:09.240 to the point where in the first one they took out the crossbow

00:37:11.600 because it wasn't accurate to the time period in the Middle East at the time.

00:37:15.280 They just don't care at all anymore.

00:37:17.200 Also, they have anachronistic things.

00:37:20.120 Now, don't laugh at this, Harry.

00:37:22.200 They added watermelons to the game, okay?

00:37:24.860 Now, don't laugh because it's not funny, okay?

00:37:28.040 But watermelons had not reached Japan yet. 0.94

00:37:30.280 So you play a black man killing lots of Japanese people 1.00

00:37:35.840 while consuming copious amounts of watermelon.

00:37:39.600 If they made it Assassin's Creed New York, it would be very believable, wouldn't it?

00:37:42.680 It would be historically accurate.

00:37:43.380 Are we sure that Ubisoft aren't playing the biggest prank ever on all of us right now?

00:37:49.960 It's entirely possible.

00:37:52.900 So there's also this fact that they delayed the game to work on it more

00:37:59.480 and they delayed it to release today,

00:38:02.860 which is the anniversary of the Tokyo subway sarin gas attack.

00:38:07.240 They can't get anything right.

00:38:09.520 They literally can't get anything right.

00:38:12.320 And then whilst all of this controversy was going on,

00:38:15.540 Ubisoft declared that their leading advisors have been hired

00:38:20.060 to look at transformational strategies and capitalistic options

00:38:24.120 to extract the best value for stakeholders.

00:38:26.700 Scramble. Scramble for cash because this is going to be a disaster.

00:38:29.700 Yes. Also, they're obviously going to integrate horrendous monetization into it

00:38:34.180 because that's what they always do.

00:38:36.740 I'm sorry, but Ubisoft just make empty games that are lifeless

00:38:40.680 but look good to someone who doesn't play video games very much.

00:38:45.180 The actual gameplay is for someone who's never played video games

00:38:48.780 or is close to being a vegetable.

00:38:51.220 I think the last Ubisoft game that I played that I really enjoyed was Far Cry 3

00:38:56.060 and that was the game that really set the template

00:38:59.680 for all of that open worlds going forward with the towers.

00:39:02.660 At the time, the game was good.

00:39:04.420 It was novel at the time and yet it is of a much higher quality

00:39:07.960 than a lot of the games that came out afterwards.

00:39:09.840 Although I heard some people say Far Cry 5 was all right.

00:39:13.460 I tried to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag

00:39:15.700 but there was just so much boring stuff before you even get to the ships.

00:39:19.300 Pirate ship stuff was a lot of fun, but the game was easy.

00:39:23.040 I remember one of my housemates reminiscing about a moment

00:39:26.220 when I'd just got Assassin's Creed Black Flag

00:39:28.500 and I drank a bottle of rum and I was sat there taking on...

00:39:31.340 A full bottle in one swig.

00:39:32.800 Good man living a life.

00:39:34.120 Not in one swig.

00:39:35.180 I was trying to immerse myself.

00:39:37.160 Southern panzy.

00:39:37.860 Even though I drank a full bottle of rum,

00:39:40.560 I was taking on an entire pirate ship

00:39:42.960 or a pretty big ship with about 30 crew members

00:39:47.200 with my bare hands and not taking any hits

00:39:49.480 because the combat is just that easy.

00:39:51.960 Yeah, they've always been pretty easy combat.

00:39:54.060 I'm not saying I'm good.

00:39:55.300 I'm saying it's too easy, by the way, just to be clear.

00:39:58.660 I know there'll be people like, I don't believe you.

00:40:00.700 He's still not finished Elden Ring.

00:40:02.520 That's true.

00:40:03.380 I've got 350 hours on it and everything.

00:40:05.940 I don't know how you managed that.

00:40:07.900 What have you been doing?

00:40:09.180 Making lots and lots of new characters.

00:40:11.440 Oh, okay.

00:40:11.840 Okay, that makes sense, yeah.

00:40:13.260 It's not that I'm bad at the game.

00:40:14.340 It's just that I'm taking my time and enjoying it.

00:40:16.800 Ah, okay.

00:40:17.440 All right.

00:40:17.760 He's trying out his play styles until he gets...

00:40:19.480 Just the right one.

00:40:21.500 I pre-ordered Dark Souls 1

00:40:22.900 and have played every game on release since.

00:40:25.140 So I am not some sort of noob to FromSoftware's games.

00:40:28.960 No, he's just a scrub.

00:40:30.980 This is needless.

00:40:32.460 But yes, they released a big long thing

00:40:35.880 saying we're not actually about historical accuracy.

00:40:39.560 We just want to make a fun game

00:40:41.000 that makes people interested in the time period.

00:40:43.620 And what actually happened is

00:40:45.960 the Japanese language version got community noted

00:40:49.600 and it linked to all of the examples of them

00:40:52.040 trying to claim that they're creating

00:40:53.660 a historically accurate game.

00:40:55.260 Basically saying you're lying.

00:40:56.720 You're trying to cover for yourself.

00:40:57.940 Which is true.

00:40:59.580 And let's have a look at some of the comparisons.

00:41:03.740 Here's the first game in 2007.

00:41:05.780 Here's the 2025 version.

00:41:07.820 I'm not going to linger on this too long

00:41:09.280 because this is a lesbian romance scene 1.00

00:41:12.200 and this is not appropriate.

00:41:14.640 But yes, you can see that things

00:41:16.360 in terms of the cut scenes,

00:41:18.980 the actual facial animations and things like that

00:41:20.880 haven't got that much better.

00:41:22.200 Well, the thing is,

00:41:24.320 I would say in the comparison there,

00:41:26.460 the first game all the way back

00:41:28.440 from 18 years ago now looked better.

00:41:30.900 I remember being shocked

00:41:32.100 when the first game came out

00:41:33.300 at how good it looked.

00:41:34.620 I remember wanting to save up money

00:41:36.520 to be able to get a console

00:41:37.820 to be able to run Assassin's Creed

00:41:39.820 and being kind of distraught

00:41:41.960 just like, I'd love to play that game.

00:41:43.480 Yeah, I still read the video game magazines back then

00:41:45.900 because I was 10, 11 years old.

00:41:49.380 And so I saw this game.

00:41:50.460 And I was like, oh my God, that looks awesome. 0.91

00:41:52.100 I get to murder people as an assassin 0.94

00:41:54.280 in the Middle East back in history. 0.99

00:41:57.100 That's awesome.

00:41:58.860 Exactly so.

00:41:59.940 And now you can romance supposedly non-binary people. 0.63

00:42:03.680 I don't know.

00:42:04.520 But there's weird romances

00:42:05.760 that are added into all modern games

00:42:07.340 for some reason.

00:42:08.100 I'm kind of sick of it.

00:42:09.160 I just don't care.

00:42:09.860 I don't play video games

00:42:11.040 to mitigate my failing love life.

00:42:13.600 This is that Dragon's Age Inquisition.

00:42:18.680 Not Inquisition.

00:42:19.540 Veil Guard.

00:42:21.680 The most recent one.

00:42:22.340 We'll mention them soon.

00:42:23.060 Oh, where she sits down. 1.00

00:42:24.060 By the way, I'm non-binary

00:42:25.480 and everyone's just like, 0.66

00:42:26.380 what the hell? 0.87

00:42:27.320 You don't start a conversation like that. 0.99

00:42:29.700 This is fantasy.

00:42:30.780 Why are you bringing this up?

00:42:31.900 When I first met you, Harry,

00:42:32.960 I said, hello, Harry, I'm straight.

00:42:34.900 As I did as well.

00:42:35.920 Just to make sure that we weren't both gay 1.00

00:42:37.680 because otherwise wires might get crossed. 0.65

00:42:40.540 And a little bit more than just wires as well.

00:42:42.780 It's important to establish your sexuality 0.99

00:42:45.640 immediately upon meeting people.

00:42:47.180 Yeah, absolutely.

00:42:47.680 That's how normal people talk, right?

00:42:49.840 And yes, Pink News loved the idea that,

00:42:52.540 oh, the protagonist can be alphabet people.

00:42:55.220 Hooray! 0.97

00:42:56.260 They didn't need to hint it's in the game.

00:42:59.560 This is the same thing that they were celebrating

00:43:01.540 with Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

00:43:03.240 where it's like, hooray! 0.93

00:43:04.700 You can now be gay with the guy 0.98

00:43:06.440 who was your best friend in the first game. 0.74

00:43:08.460 Is this a good thing?

00:43:10.460 It was a bit needless.

00:43:11.660 Was this an improvement in some way?

00:43:13.640 Why did this happen?

00:43:13.860 Well, supposedly from people whose opinions I trust,

00:43:17.780 the new Kingdom Come Deliverance game

00:43:19.420 is really good up until towards the end

00:43:23.060 where there's a little bit of woke stuff inserted,

00:43:25.840 which is a shame

00:43:26.480 because I really like the first one.

00:43:27.960 Yeah, I've seen a lot of discussion of that as well,

00:43:31.080 but I'm currently partway through

00:43:32.660 a four-hour review of it,

00:43:35.080 which is going to give...

00:43:36.680 Why are you doing that to yourself?

00:43:38.460 Yeah, because it's better to listen to something like that

00:43:42.640 while walking sometimes.

00:43:45.780 Fair enough.

00:43:46.560 I can't question it.

00:43:47.800 It's better than those WWE audiobooks you listen to.

00:43:54.760 And yeah, just to put the final nail in the coffin,

00:43:58.420 here is their diversity, inclusion, and accessibility.

00:44:02.980 It's not even DEI.

00:44:04.440 But what I found the most interesting about this

00:44:06.860 is if you scroll all the way down,

00:44:08.880 our employee resource group...

00:44:10.460 Beau works for them?

00:44:12.040 Beau.

00:44:12.640 I knew it, Beau.

00:44:14.440 There's a reason he's not in today.

00:44:15.840 He's actually the black employees at Ubisoft.

00:44:18.780 All of them, simultaneously. 0.98

00:44:20.840 Beau has just been a series of midgets 1.00

00:44:23.760 stacked on top of one another. 0.99

00:44:25.480 Tiny black midgets on top of one another. 1.00

00:44:27.400 He didn't tell us. 0.97

00:44:29.300 That's what he's been hiding in his beard.

00:44:31.100 I knew it.

00:44:32.580 They've got an Asian and Pacific Islander group.

00:44:35.940 They've got a Latin American and Hispanic group.

00:44:39.380 They've got a neurodiverse group.

00:44:41.760 Well, that makes...

00:44:42.080 They've got a Middle East and North Africa group. 0.97

00:44:44.060 They've got a big gay group. 0.91

00:44:45.700 They do.

00:44:46.560 And then they've got Women for Equity group as well. 0.84

00:44:50.680 So if you're a straight white man,

00:44:52.720 I suppose you can go stuff it.

00:44:54.560 What about a good game developer group?

00:44:57.700 They don't have one of those, obviously.

00:44:59.420 No, not Ubisoft.

00:45:00.360 Not anymore.

00:45:00.420 And it shows.

00:45:02.160 So it got to the point where

00:45:03.960 the Japanese parliament actually discussed this.

00:45:07.340 And to be accurate about what was discussed,

00:45:10.960 they looked at some of the early gameplay footage

00:45:13.660 and raised concerns, particularly about the shrines.

00:45:16.500 One of them was destroyed in the game.

00:45:18.320 And then a shrine from the guy who was talking,

00:45:21.560 his home district,

00:45:22.360 appeared without permission to use its name

00:45:25.260 because they have to ask for permission.

00:45:28.080 And also, in response,

00:45:29.300 the vice minister of economy, trade and industry

00:45:31.860 stated that unauthorized use of real world locations

00:45:35.640 is unacceptable.

00:45:36.980 And he got to the point where the prime minister himself

00:45:40.260 responded saying graffiti on shrines

00:45:42.520 is absolutely unacceptable

00:45:43.580 because they'd seen some vandalism on some shrines

00:45:46.360 and tourists had been climbing them,

00:45:47.680 which is incredibly disrespectful, by the way.

00:45:49.520 Don't do that.

00:45:51.620 And they're saying they're not going to remain silent

00:45:53.980 on such issues.

00:45:55.280 And people have to show respect for local cultures.

00:45:58.880 And that should be common sense,

00:45:59.840 which I agree with.

00:46:00.580 Yeah, that's perfectly fine.

00:46:01.920 And they're right to be annoyed about this.

00:46:04.460 And I do wonder whether them taking action

00:46:07.020 to prevent these sorts of things

00:46:08.120 is going to target this game.

00:46:11.840 Are they going to potentially, I don't know,

00:46:15.260 ban the game in Japan somehow

00:46:16.560 or find Ubisoft?

00:46:18.580 I don't know what the options are available to them.

00:46:21.260 The country of Japan declares war on Ubisoft.

00:46:25.040 They invade France.

00:46:28.120 It'd be a different place than they normally try to invade.

00:46:31.660 So it might be a bit of variety, you know?

00:46:33.620 We can join in.

00:46:34.300 Why not?

00:46:34.880 Settle old scores.

00:46:36.040 Exactly.

00:46:36.680 Two island nations joining together to bully France. 0.55

00:46:39.460 It's beautiful.

00:46:40.860 There's nothing better to bring nations together, is there?

00:46:44.140 And I will give them credit.

00:46:46.100 The game does look very good graphically.

00:46:48.700 And that's always been one of the Assassin's Creed game's

00:46:50.980 strong suits.

00:46:52.480 So I'm not going to be entirely unreasonable.

00:46:54.960 The game does look beautiful.

00:46:56.480 I definitely can't deny it.

00:46:59.340 It's a shame, really, because if the gameplay

00:47:01.160 and the writing and everything else was good,

00:47:04.100 I would have played it.

00:47:05.440 I'm not a graphics kuma, so I don't care.

00:47:07.560 It helps.

00:47:10.940 I think it helps.

00:47:13.120 I still miss the days of the old,

00:47:16.540 really hyper-stylized PS2 graphics on things,

00:47:20.840 where it was limited enough that you had to have

00:47:22.860 a really distinctive art style.

00:47:24.760 That's true.

00:47:25.420 It did encourage a bit of innovation.

00:47:27.080 And I think sometimes people are a little bit lazy these days,

00:47:29.660 which is true.

00:47:30.600 I found this review because I'm going to go through some of the reviews

00:47:35.340 because, of course, the media lapped it up.

00:47:38.940 So they gave it 100 or 10 out of 10, whatever.

00:47:42.640 There are problems with Assassin's Creed Shadows, for sure,

00:47:45.080 but it's perfect.

00:47:46.040 It gets a perfect score.

00:47:48.080 That's how it opens.

00:47:49.160 That's not how numerical scoring should work.

00:47:53.020 If something's perfect, it doesn't have problems.

00:47:57.040 IGN gave it 8 out of 10.

00:48:00.700 And then they also gave Dragon Age of the Veil Guard 9 out of 10.

00:48:04.000 But IGN knows this game.

00:48:06.040 They know how to play the game.

00:48:07.020 They had a trans person to cover Dragon Age Veil Guard

00:48:11.640 because there's lots of gender ideology in there. 1.00

00:48:14.820 And then for Assassin's Creed Shadows,

00:48:16.740 they had a black guy review it.

00:48:20.380 So they know how to avoid controversy.

00:48:23.200 Yeah, yeah.

00:48:23.820 Remember, IGN, a games company that in 2007 gave God Hand

00:48:29.000 one of the best beat-em-up games ever made,

00:48:32.440 a 3 out of 10,

00:48:34.180 because they couldn't understand how to play it properly.

00:48:37.020 Yeah, they're not really worth listening to most of the time.

00:48:41.740 I think the best...

00:48:42.500 Go to IGN expecting anything other than

00:48:44.720 the most surface-level observations.

00:48:47.140 You're not going to get a breakdown of game mechanics.

00:48:49.520 You're not going to get a proper breakdown of the narrative

00:48:52.920 and whether it's of any high quality.

00:48:55.400 They're just going to go,

00:48:56.380 wow, this looks expensive

00:48:57.720 and didn't break the second I switched it on.

00:49:01.300 Therefore, 9 out of 10.

00:49:02.700 Also, we have a political agenda to push.

00:49:07.020 I think the best people are the independent YouTubers out there

00:49:10.600 that actually speak their mind.

00:49:12.900 There are quite a few of them that have got a lot of backlash

00:49:14.700 for just saying, I don't like this game.

00:49:16.220 I know lots of you like it, but I personally don't.

00:49:18.420 So it shows integrity

00:49:19.340 and that they're not pandering in the same way

00:49:21.460 that a lot of the big companies are.

00:49:23.640 But there are lots of other companies

00:49:26.280 that gave lots of good reviews.

00:49:27.640 You can just see here, they're all very positive.

00:49:30.420 It's almost like they've recognised the political...

00:49:33.360 I don't know.

00:49:37.260 Not so much the landscape,

00:49:38.960 but the political character that the game has now taken on.

00:49:42.660 And it's basically like you either defend this game

00:49:45.240 or the left loses.

00:49:46.520 And so they want the left to win,

00:49:48.260 so they've defended it.

00:49:49.540 It would look coordinated

00:49:50.580 if it weren't obvious that these are all just people

00:49:53.180 who are all part of the same agenda anyway.

00:49:56.380 Yeah, as far as I can see,

00:49:58.380 they've not fixed any of the fundamental mechanics of the game

00:50:01.420 being easy and boring.

00:50:03.220 The gameplay itself will be boring.

00:50:05.360 The world will be empty.

00:50:07.360 You'll press X to interact

00:50:08.920 and there'll be an animation

00:50:10.140 and then that'll be it.

00:50:11.040 These are benefits for gaming journalists, though.

00:50:14.540 They tend to be very, very unskilled

00:50:17.400 at the games that they're playing.

00:50:18.940 They don't have as much time to invest in them.

00:50:21.240 They are looking for something

00:50:22.300 that they can breeze through the main story in a few hours,

00:50:26.180 do one or two side quests,

00:50:27.620 and they will make their entire impressions from that alone.

00:50:31.040 They love a game that's on rails

00:50:32.400 because it makes their job easier.

00:50:34.060 I think that's probably part of it.

00:50:35.960 Remember IGN failing the Cuphead tutorial?

00:50:39.420 Because he couldn't figure out

00:50:40.720 how to jump and dash at the same time.

00:50:43.540 Genius.

00:50:44.560 Gaming masterminds.

00:50:46.420 So, I have two suggestions for you

00:50:48.740 if you wanted to buy this game

00:50:49.980 and are now disappointed that it's very woke.

00:50:53.600 There are already games that are out now

00:50:55.160 and cheaper.

00:50:57.620 Sekiro, obviously one of our favourites, Harry.

00:51:00.260 Amazing game.

00:51:01.100 Fantastic game.

00:51:02.100 If you like the more fantasy jumping around,

00:51:05.780 From Software, Dark Souls-y. 0.83

00:51:07.640 Fire, fire at people. 0.95

00:51:09.580 If you want to go more sort of ahistoric, 0.61

00:51:12.280 but have a lot of fun,

00:51:13.500 have a difficult game

00:51:14.560 with rewarding and interesting mechanics,

00:51:17.280 here's your one.

00:51:18.480 And if you prefer something that's closer

00:51:20.160 to a more historic perspective,

00:51:23.980 also a very beautiful game,

00:51:25.940 Ghost of Tsushima.

00:51:27.960 I've played it a little bit.

00:51:28.940 I initially found it very frustrating

00:51:30.400 because it goes against my Dark Souls programming.

00:51:32.420 Is it more like along the lines of Assassin's Creed?

00:51:36.280 It is very much more like Assassin's Creed than Sekiro.

00:51:39.940 And so, if you like those games,

00:51:41.280 you'll probably like this,

00:51:42.300 but it will be better.

00:51:43.260 Yeah, and you can also check out

00:51:44.500 something like Neo,

00:51:45.740 like I mentioned earlier,

00:51:46.700 which I do need to play,

00:51:47.620 but I've been told is excellent.

00:51:49.800 So, there you go.

00:51:51.160 I've given you the reasons not to buy the game.

00:51:53.600 I've given you some alternatives.

00:51:55.520 Hopefully, that's a complete picture

00:51:56.920 as to why you shouldn't buy it.

00:51:58.320 I have followed this since its inception

00:52:00.940 and scoured the internet

00:52:02.460 for every scandal I could find.

00:52:04.880 And yes, voting with your wallet

00:52:06.920 is far more effective

00:52:07.900 than voting at the ballot box.

00:52:09.740 And so, you can punish these companies.

00:52:11.400 Ubisoft's not doing very well.

00:52:13.080 Past five years, stock right down.

00:52:15.260 You could kill Ubisoft

00:52:16.440 if you don't buy this game. 0.96

00:52:18.040 And if that's not a good enough reason,

00:52:19.280 I don't know what is.

00:52:20.720 There you go.

00:52:21.820 Got quite a few rumble rants on that one.

00:52:23.720 Blimey.

00:52:24.660 Okay.

00:52:25.020 Oh, blimey.

00:52:25.900 Crikey, mate.

00:52:29.560 Oh, wrong thing.

00:52:30.960 Can't use a mouse.

00:52:32.660 My laptop.

00:52:33.380 Can't talk, can't read, can't use a mouse.

00:52:36.000 I am just a walking, talking packet of problems, me.

00:52:42.940 I know what that means.

00:52:44.280 I've never heard anyone say that before.

00:52:46.680 I made it up, that's why.

00:52:48.740 Ray Earth says,

00:52:49.660 Hey, long time silent watcher.

00:52:51.160 I once looked up how many people in America

00:52:52.900 are a part of the British diaspora.

00:52:56.740 Turns out 33%,

00:52:58.040 which is the largest of any group in America.

00:53:00.260 It's almost like we settled the continent or something.

00:53:02.800 Yeah, it's strange that, isn't it?

00:53:04.160 And it's sad to me,

00:53:05.520 because, again,

00:53:06.460 I got very hostile reactions from Americans

00:53:08.700 for pointing this out.

00:53:10.140 And it's like,

00:53:10.600 mate, we share the same ancestors.

00:53:13.120 Go back far enough,

00:53:14.140 and we're probably descended from the same people.

00:53:15.880 It's like you're trying to shake hands with them,

00:53:17.720 and they're slapping it away.

00:53:19.020 Yeah.

00:53:19.440 No.

00:53:19.880 I know some people think I don't like America.

00:53:22.480 I really like America.

00:53:24.360 I like Americans,

00:53:25.320 and I don't want them to be just so touchy

00:53:27.500 about when you point out their English.

00:53:28.940 If I could live anywhere else,

00:53:30.480 I'd live in the United States.

00:53:32.620 One of the more English areas of it, absolutely.

00:53:35.120 Yeah, of course.

00:53:35.280 Yeah.

00:53:37.300 Jotun, for $10, thank you.

00:53:39.260 Here you are, gents.

00:53:40.440 Keep up the good work.

00:53:41.560 That's very nice of you.

00:53:41.960 Thank you very much.

00:53:42.560 Thank you very much.

00:53:43.120 The rats are going to be kept away for one more night.

00:53:46.400 That's a random name, too.

00:53:48.200 Oh, that's a second random name.

00:53:50.060 Here in Montreal,

00:53:51.100 Ubisoft is practically worshipped,

00:53:52.560 with even our radio hosts running cover

00:53:55.100 for Ass Creed Shadows.

00:53:57.920 Also, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

00:53:59.800 is incredibly subversive.

00:54:01.840 Harry, a man of culture,

00:54:02.860 watching Synthetic Man.

00:54:04.240 Yes, that is correct.

00:54:05.200 I said four-hour review,

00:54:06.660 and you immediately picked up

00:54:08.080 who's the only person

00:54:09.080 who's done a four-hour review of it.

00:54:10.800 So, thank you.

00:54:13.000 From yesterday's culture section,

00:54:14.600 DXTN64 says,

00:54:16.760 how dare you say

00:54:17.680 that that marble foot

00:54:19.860 has more culture

00:54:20.780 than the whole of South America?

00:54:22.700 My copy of Islander

00:54:23.520 is arriving to Peru,

00:54:24.640 says otherwise.

00:54:26.220 I wasn't really thinking

00:54:27.280 about South America,

00:54:28.320 the continent,

00:54:29.260 to be honest.

00:54:29.800 I quite like

00:54:30.840 South American architecture

00:54:32.400 in particular.

00:54:33.920 And also,

00:54:34.760 I really want to go to Peru,

00:54:35.980 so I am sorry.

00:54:37.300 It is a very interesting continent.

00:54:39.120 Mm-hmm.

00:54:39.240 I was being facetious.

00:54:41.020 I was being rude.

00:54:42.580 But I didn't actually mean it.

00:54:44.340 That's a random name, too.

00:54:45.680 Also, while on the topic

00:54:46.500 of vidget games,

00:54:47.420 would either of you

00:54:48.080 be interested in

00:54:48.900 ever reviewing games,

00:54:51.200 sorry?

00:54:51.740 I'm hoping to have

00:54:52.740 my game ready

00:54:53.400 for early release

00:54:54.640 sometime this summer.

00:54:56.400 I mean,

00:54:56.860 we've never really

00:54:58.580 reviewed a game,

00:54:59.480 have we?

00:54:59.980 I mean, we did Skyrim.

00:55:01.320 That's true,

00:55:01.920 but it was more of

00:55:02.340 a lads-hour-y thing, wasn't it?

00:55:03.460 Yeah, we've done analysis

00:55:05.060 of games

00:55:06.440 and reported news

00:55:07.700 on it before.

00:55:08.380 I don't know if

00:55:09.120 reviewing games,

00:55:10.300 like a first-day review,

00:55:11.680 would be what people

00:55:12.740 are looking for

00:55:13.380 from the platform.

00:55:14.380 But I am,

00:55:14.900 I did complete

00:55:16.060 Silent Hill 2

00:55:16.960 in December,

00:55:17.980 and I am still planning

00:55:18.900 on making a video on it.

00:55:20.500 Finally!

00:55:21.000 At some point.

00:55:21.500 How many years has it been?

00:55:22.800 Almost three.

00:55:26.800 I just need to actually,

00:55:28.000 because I want you

00:55:28.840 to do the video with me,

00:55:30.320 and you refuse to play it,

00:55:32.100 and you say,

00:55:32.760 oh, I'm just going to

00:55:34.120 watch a playthrough.

00:55:34.600 You didn't tell me

00:55:35.260 you were done.

00:55:36.580 I did tell you

00:55:37.340 I was done.

00:55:37.920 I told you in December,

00:55:38.960 and you're like,

00:55:39.280 oh, I'll just watch

00:55:39.860 a playthrough.

00:55:40.400 I'm like,

00:55:40.600 no, you need to play

00:55:41.280 the game to experience it.

00:55:43.080 You're like,

00:55:43.280 ah, I'll be fine,

00:55:44.460 because he's lazy. 0.64

00:55:46.100 Yeah, but that's like

00:55:46.880 a lot of hours

00:55:47.980 of my time outside of work.

00:55:49.580 You can complete the game

00:55:50.500 in six hours.

00:55:51.720 It's a really short game.

00:55:53.240 But I don't like

00:55:53.740 being scared, Harry.

00:55:54.960 I knew it.

00:55:55.680 I knew that that's

00:55:56.540 what it was.

00:55:57.280 Easy scared, cat.

00:55:59.500 I've played horror games

00:56:00.640 before.

00:56:01.760 Connor Smug Mug.

00:56:02.460 Just ten minutes of them.

00:56:03.480 Switch them off.

00:56:04.780 They get too scary.

00:56:06.340 Connor Smug Mug says,

00:56:07.580 but remember,

00:56:08.100 IGN never told

00:56:09.400 AAA gets automatic

00:56:10.840 seven and above.

00:56:11.860 IGN viewer.

00:56:12.960 Okay.

00:56:14.040 That's right.

00:56:14.580 I can't read.

00:56:15.360 There's a lot of glare

00:56:16.200 on the screen here

00:56:17.720 at the minute.

00:56:18.380 We've got some new lights

00:56:19.300 and I can't read.

00:56:20.580 That's what I'm blaming anyway.

00:56:22.260 Unlike those indie

00:56:23.240 pleb games,

00:56:23.980 that's true.

00:56:24.600 They probably want to

00:56:25.460 stay cozy,

00:56:26.380 don't they?

00:56:26.720 Do you remember

00:56:27.500 back in the day

00:56:28.340 when it was

00:56:28.760 GamesRadar,

00:56:30.040 one of their reviewers

00:56:30.800 gave Kanan Lynch,

00:56:32.040 the first one,

00:56:32.900 a six out of ten

00:56:33.880 and he got fired for it?

00:56:36.720 What?

00:56:37.160 Because they'd had

00:56:37.780 an advertising agreement

00:56:39.320 with the company.

00:56:40.180 Oh, that's so scummy,

00:56:41.680 isn't it?

00:56:42.040 Yeah.

00:56:42.500 You can't trust these people.

00:56:43.940 People saying that

00:56:45.000 if Assassin's Creed Shadow

00:56:46.040 isn't financially successful,

00:56:47.380 it might make

00:56:47.880 Ubisoft go bankrupt,

00:56:49.200 one can only hope.

00:56:49.920 Also, apparently,

00:56:51.720 Yakube,

00:56:53.520 I don't think

00:56:54.220 that's his name,

00:56:56.640 acts Nobunaga

00:56:58.220 because Japan is only 0.60

00:56:59.640 big enough for one...

00:57:01.920 I can't say that.

00:57:03.980 I think by...

00:57:04.800 You can infer it.

00:57:05.740 I think by act

00:57:06.440 he means the act

00:57:07.560 meme.

00:57:07.920 I know.

00:57:11.100 Rick Oli says,

00:57:12.740 watching Simps

00:57:14.360 four-hour compilation...

00:57:16.560 I can't read today.

00:57:18.140 I'm so sorry.

00:57:18.680 I'll read it.

00:57:19.300 Rick Oli,

00:57:20.120 I need to

00:57:22.620 waterboard myself.

00:57:24.480 It says,

00:57:26.120 watching since

00:57:26.880 four-hour

00:57:27.460 Complain Kino 2,

00:57:29.060 it shows

00:57:29.440 Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

00:57:30.600 has more issues

00:57:31.380 than just politics.

00:57:32.580 Also,

00:57:33.340 Vavra lied 0.98

00:57:34.160 and was just a grifter. 0.98

00:57:35.420 Yeah, that's the thing

00:57:36.120 that's been very disappointing

00:57:37.020 for me is that

00:57:37.820 how much Lavra

00:57:38.620 has basically tried

00:57:39.540 to gaslight his own fans

00:57:41.080 and I know

00:57:42.420 he's not up everybody's

00:57:43.660 cup of tea

00:57:45.260 but I really like

00:57:46.280 Synthetic Man's videos

00:57:47.320 and I think he's got

00:57:48.080 some very interesting

00:57:48.800 takes on things

00:57:49.520 and he's certainly

00:57:50.300 willing to be

00:57:51.120 negative about games

00:57:52.480 where other people

00:57:53.240 will just glaze

00:57:54.220 the hell out of them.

00:57:55.160 He was very negative

00:57:56.140 to God of War

00:57:58.740 Ragnarok

00:57:59.540 and presented a perspective

00:58:01.220 I didn't see

00:58:01.880 anywhere else

00:58:02.480 that got him in trouble

00:58:03.220 with some of the other

00:58:04.140 anti-woke YouTubers

00:58:05.720 who were like,

00:58:06.340 no bro,

00:58:06.840 it's just amazing,

00:58:07.720 don't worry about it

00:58:08.500 even though it was

00:58:09.120 woke as all hell

00:58:10.840 and presented 0.99

00:58:11.400 black Vikings 0.63

00:58:12.500 and such. 0.98

00:58:13.260 Oh blimey.

00:58:13.820 Yeah,

00:58:14.200 but apparently

00:58:14.640 that's fine,

00:58:15.480 apparently that's fine

00:58:16.300 because who are you

00:58:17.140 to say what the

00:58:17.800 demographic makeup

00:58:18.640 of the middle-aged

00:58:19.720 Vikings were?

00:58:21.520 I just know about

00:58:22.220 genetics,

00:58:22.820 not me.

00:58:23.380 Oh no,

00:58:23.860 I know,

00:58:24.160 right?

00:58:24.600 Anyway,

00:58:25.240 so last segment

00:58:26.160 and it's right slop.

00:58:27.880 You're going to

00:58:28.540 really enjoy this one.

00:58:29.740 Just to warn you,

00:58:30.960 anybody who watches

00:58:31.780 this show for news,

00:58:32.920 that is not what

00:58:33.680 you are going to be

00:58:34.220 getting right now.

00:58:35.200 You are going to be

00:58:35.800 getting a teenage girl 0.94

00:58:37.860 pylon of an F-boy. 0.61

00:58:41.440 That is,

00:58:42.020 that is,

00:58:42.460 excuse me,

00:58:43.400 I'm too old to know

00:58:45.520 what those words mean. 0.94

00:58:47.180 What an F-boy is. 0.98

00:58:48.580 Oh right. 0.97

00:58:49.180 I thought you were

00:58:49.980 one at one point,

00:58:50.880 surely.

00:58:51.640 A what?

00:58:53.740 Anyway,

00:58:54.300 before we get into that,

00:58:55.320 buy Islander,

00:58:56.000 you know the deal by now,

00:58:57.000 it's very,

00:58:57.360 very limited,

00:58:58.140 so actually buy it

00:58:59.060 this time.

00:58:59.800 Buy it this time

00:59:00.700 and maybe

00:59:01.640 I won't come for you.

00:59:04.220 Anyway,

00:59:05.220 so everybody remembers,

00:59:07.360 who just messed 0.83

00:59:08.420 with the mouse?

00:59:10.020 I didn't touch

00:59:10.720 it.

00:59:10.940 There we go.

00:59:11.540 There we go.

00:59:12.180 So everybody remembers

00:59:13.300 this lineup of chaps, 1.00

00:59:14.800 right?

00:59:15.120 The TikTok Democrat

00:59:16.760 influencers who are

00:59:18.060 trying to convince

00:59:18.680 everybody Kamala Harris

00:59:20.100 wasn't a horrible,

00:59:22.180 horrible candidate

00:59:23.000 for the United States

00:59:24.040 of America

00:59:24.500 and trying to prove

00:59:25.560 to people as well,

00:59:26.460 look,

00:59:26.960 we're young white kids

00:59:28.300 except for this guy.

00:59:29.240 We're young white kids.

00:59:31.020 You can vote for

00:59:31.960 Kamala Harris too

00:59:32.920 because we care

00:59:34.560 about women's issues.

00:59:36.460 We care

00:59:37.120 about women's rights.

00:59:38.860 Look into the face

00:59:39.660 of this man.

00:59:40.100 He's not doing it

00:59:41.200 just to get laid.

00:59:42.860 Neither is he

00:59:43.720 because they're

00:59:44.420 true believers

00:59:45.260 because they're 0.99

00:59:45.740 probably gay. 0.99

00:59:47.120 Oh, right. 0.99

00:59:47.980 Because they're 1.00

00:59:48.620 probably gay. 0.98

00:59:49.720 Everybody remembers 0.93

00:59:50.480 that Robert J.

00:59:51.280 O'Neill,

00:59:52.180 who helped

00:59:52.720 take out

00:59:53.440 Osama bin Laden,

00:59:54.780 said to these people

00:59:55.960 that he was going

00:59:56.600 to make them

00:59:57.220 his concubines.

00:59:59.000 Very interesting

01:00:00.020 approach to take.

01:00:00.720 That is one of the,

01:00:02.240 I think this is up there.

01:00:03.980 This is one of the most

01:00:04.720 hilarious posts

01:00:05.880 on this platform

01:00:06.620 I've ever seen.

01:00:07.700 I don't know what

01:00:07.840 concubine meant. 0.99

01:00:09.160 I don't think he did.

01:00:10.700 But he leant into it,

01:00:12.300 thankfully,

01:00:12.800 so he had a bit

01:00:13.360 of fun with it.

01:00:14.180 But, of course,

01:00:15.580 now that this one

01:00:16.700 in particular,

01:00:17.440 Harry Sisson,

01:00:18.380 has escaped captivity

01:00:19.960 in Robert O'Neill's

01:00:21.500 basement

01:00:21.900 and found himself

01:00:23.440 starved of female 1.00

01:00:24.600 attention,

01:00:25.340 he decided to speak

01:00:26.640 to a load of women 0.99

01:00:27.520 on TikTok,

01:00:28.740 not TikTok,

01:00:29.420 on Snapchat,

01:00:30.260 who got in touch

01:00:31.080 with him through TikTok

01:00:32.160 and decided that he

01:00:34.880 was going to become

01:00:35.680 a little bit

01:00:36.760 of a player.

01:00:37.940 Now,

01:00:38.360 what's the one thing

01:00:39.620 that we know

01:00:40.480 that leftist men

01:00:41.720 are not allowed

01:00:43.120 to do?

01:00:44.600 Be straight.

01:00:45.340 Yes.

01:00:46.480 I knew it.

01:00:47.060 First try.

01:00:47.760 Yes.

01:00:48.240 They're not allowed

01:00:48.960 to be straight

01:00:49.860 because he's been

01:00:51.160 promoting this

01:00:51.840 whole idea

01:00:52.300 that I'm an ally,

01:00:54.060 I love women, 1.00

01:00:55.560 I love women's rights, 1.00

01:00:56.640 I'll stand up

01:00:57.380 for women's rights

01:00:58.100 no matter what.

01:00:59.660 And it turns out

01:01:00.400 that he was leading

01:01:01.080 on about 11

01:01:02.160 different women 0.97

01:01:03.020 at the same time

01:01:04.280 on his Snapchat

01:01:05.580 and convinced them

01:01:09.080 that we're exclusive

01:01:10.500 or at least

01:01:11.120 I don't have anybody else,

01:01:12.960 don't worry about it,

01:01:14.100 bro.

01:01:14.600 Anyway, 0.99

01:01:15.420 send tits. 1.00

01:01:16.760 And they did. 0.97

01:01:17.860 And they did.

01:01:18.640 And then they found

01:01:19.380 out about it

01:01:20.200 and now they're

01:01:20.880 very, very upset

01:01:21.640 about it.

01:01:22.440 So there's a couple

01:01:23.080 of things to say

01:01:23.800 about this.

01:01:24.160 Yes, go ahead.

01:01:24.720 First of all,

01:01:25.500 very slimy from Sisson.

01:01:27.580 Yes.

01:01:27.800 We didn't think

01:01:28.240 he had it in him.

01:01:30.760 Literally,

01:01:31.240 there is a

01:01:31.720 It's Always Sunny episode

01:01:33.420 where Dennis is

01:01:34.480 pretending to be woke

01:01:35.560 so that he can get laid 0.91

01:01:36.680 with college girls.

01:01:38.320 That's literally

01:01:39.080 what's going on.

01:01:39.540 He Dennis'd them.

01:01:41.400 He Dennis'd them.

01:01:42.260 I didn't think

01:01:42.800 he had it in him either.

01:01:44.040 I also find it interesting

01:01:45.120 that the women

01:01:45.620 themselves

01:01:46.320 only got upset

01:01:48.260 about it

01:01:48.920 when they found

01:01:50.020 out about the others.

01:01:50.920 So up until that point,

01:01:52.220 they're okay.

01:01:52.660 That's not that surprising,

01:01:53.320 is it?

01:01:55.000 What do you mean?

01:01:56.080 It's not surprising

01:01:56.800 that they thought

01:01:57.320 that they,

01:01:57.780 oh,

01:01:58.060 I'm his only girl.

01:01:59.900 He only has eyes

01:02:00.880 for me

01:02:01.280 and then he has eyes

01:02:01.920 for like 10 other women 1.00

01:02:02.760 at the same time.

01:02:03.960 So it's not that surprising.

01:02:05.080 But carry on.

01:02:05.680 Carry on.

01:02:05.820 They only made it

01:02:08.300 a big problem

01:02:09.280 when they found out

01:02:10.680 there were other women. 1.00

01:02:11.580 So they were okay

01:02:12.320 with it up until that point

01:02:13.280 and then it became

01:02:14.300 a problem.

01:02:15.060 Now,

01:02:15.540 obviously,

01:02:16.120 I think the main problem

01:02:16.980 is him doing this

01:02:18.240 in the first place.

01:02:19.320 It is slimy.

01:02:20.520 He's like a,

01:02:21.280 what,

01:02:21.460 22-year-old boy?

01:02:23.000 So this is not,

01:02:24.060 sadly,

01:02:24.460 unusual behavior

01:02:25.720 for a young man.

01:02:26.900 I have known

01:02:28.080 my own friends

01:02:29.320 to do things like this,

01:02:31.960 which is,

01:02:32.500 I've always been like,

01:02:33.680 more than anything,

01:02:34.660 I've gone,

01:02:35.820 like 11 women

01:02:36.780 at the same time

01:02:37.620 just sounds like

01:02:38.420 so much work.

01:02:39.520 One is too many.

01:02:40.560 It's far too many.

01:02:42.880 You can tell

01:02:43.800 we're in our late 20s.

01:02:45.220 Yeah,

01:02:45.580 I'm just sick of it

01:02:46.480 by now.

01:02:47.380 Bring on 30.

01:02:48.380 Having to juggle

01:02:49.260 that many women 0.99

01:02:50.040 at the same time

01:02:50.780 just sounds like 1.00

01:02:51.340 a pain in the ass. 1.00

01:02:52.300 But you know, 1.00

01:02:52.860 the energy

01:02:53.580 that comes with youth,

01:02:54.960 right?

01:02:55.960 But yeah,

01:02:56.460 it is very slimy

01:02:57.280 of him to lie to them.

01:02:58.480 But,

01:02:59.000 it's important to point out

01:03:00.280 no crimes have been committed.

01:03:02.440 He's not actually had

01:03:03.300 sex with any of these women. 0.93

01:03:04.900 He's not coerced 0.89

01:03:05.860 these women 0.99

01:03:06.360 into having sex with him. 0.91

01:03:08.280 And it's not like 0.90

01:03:09.400 he is a Harvey Weinstein

01:03:11.620 type figure,

01:03:13.560 right?

01:03:14.340 Despite this,

01:03:15.180 they're all describing

01:03:15.920 themselves as victims

01:03:17.000 and saying about

01:03:17.840 how traumatic

01:03:18.520 the experience is for him.

01:03:20.360 Which just makes it seem

01:03:21.380 like this is

01:03:22.280 basically teenage

01:03:23.820 high school drama.

01:03:26.060 Of course it is.

01:03:27.140 The one kid

01:03:28.160 at high school

01:03:28.860 turns out

01:03:29.460 all the girls

01:03:30.160 he was talking to

01:03:30.860 on the side

01:03:31.240 found out about

01:03:32.020 each other

01:03:32.560 at the same time.

01:03:33.300 And just in time

01:03:34.320 for prom as well.

01:03:35.960 You know,

01:03:36.660 it seems like 1.00

01:03:37.480 a stupid sitcom scenario 1.00

01:03:39.140 that you see. 1.00

01:03:40.280 But,

01:03:41.320 you're not victims.

01:03:43.520 You all messaged him first.

01:03:46.040 You got led on by him.

01:03:48.540 And,

01:03:49.520 a lot of them

01:03:50.120 were already TikTokers.

01:03:51.780 A lot of them

01:03:52.600 would not have messaged him

01:03:54.040 if he didn't have

01:03:54.640 a big platform.

01:03:55.400 You know what you're

01:03:56.640 getting into

01:03:57.180 with a guy like this.

01:03:58.040 There's a reason

01:03:58.740 that right wingers

01:03:59.780 have been warning women

01:04:01.080 about the male feminist

01:04:02.460 for so long.

01:04:04.380 It's because

01:04:04.760 this is what they do.

01:04:06.280 And this is nowhere near

01:04:07.200 the worst thing

01:04:07.960 I've ever heard 0.96

01:04:08.580 a male feminist do. 1.00

01:04:09.880 We'll get onto that

01:04:11.160 in a few minutes.

01:04:12.480 But also,

01:04:13.200 look at how

01:04:13.840 he led them on.

01:04:16.560 Look at the

01:04:17.000 chat up lines here. 0.98

01:04:18.980 I'd F you raw 0.91

01:04:20.200 after wine tasting. 0.98

01:04:21.600 But that's just me.

01:04:23.260 Apparently.

01:04:23.580 That's almost

01:04:24.140 too middle class

01:04:26.080 for me.

01:04:26.820 Niagara Falls.

01:04:28.460 After that one.

01:04:29.300 After wine tasting.

01:04:31.000 Apparently.

01:04:32.080 And these girls 0.99

01:04:33.520 are going on

01:04:34.120 saying like,

01:04:34.760 oh, I'm such a victim.

01:04:36.100 Oh, I'm such a victim.

01:04:37.300 I can't believe

01:04:37.760 I was taking advantage

01:04:38.660 of this guy.

01:04:39.740 They all look very similar.

01:04:40.740 He has a type.

01:04:41.240 He does have a type.

01:04:42.520 They really do.

01:04:43.340 But it's led to some

01:04:44.280 pretty amazing

01:04:45.540 screen caps here

01:04:46.740 of him in the shower.

01:04:48.660 I think that's a great...

01:04:49.840 I didn't need to see that. 0.99

01:04:50.920 God damn it. 0.99

01:04:51.820 Well, I certainly desire you. 0.99

01:04:54.560 My favourite ones

01:04:55.740 are ones like this.

01:04:58.480 This is how you chat up

01:04:59.920 liberal Gen Z women,

01:05:01.980 apparently.

01:05:02.860 La Mao.

01:05:03.680 See?

01:05:04.680 Your opinion's

01:05:05.580 the only one that mattered.

01:05:06.960 I'm gonna...

01:05:07.500 I'm gonna save this

01:05:08.720 and start sending it

01:05:10.760 to my friends

01:05:11.940 at random intervals.

01:05:13.460 Can you just

01:05:13.880 repost this

01:05:15.420 in response to my tweets?

01:05:17.240 Give me like hype.

01:05:18.760 Be like a hype man.

01:05:19.960 I'll be your hype man, bro.

01:05:21.500 Don't worry.

01:05:22.020 We've got the

01:05:22.500 Sisson hype man

01:05:23.580 coming up right now.

01:05:25.060 This is my favourite one.

01:05:28.900 So if you're just

01:05:29.720 listening right now...

01:05:30.580 This one made me

01:05:31.280 just unironically laugh.

01:05:32.800 Not even laugh at him.

01:05:33.860 I'm just like,

01:05:34.340 fair enough.

01:05:35.080 They're so good.

01:05:36.760 But it's just so funny.

01:05:38.180 This is my favourite.

01:05:39.040 If you're just listening,

01:05:40.120 right,

01:05:40.360 it's him with a big

01:05:41.340 smug smile on his face

01:05:43.320 with a text in the middle

01:05:44.840 of the Snapchat

01:05:45.480 saying,

01:05:46.060 God, 1.00

01:05:46.400 that ass is fat. 1.00

01:05:48.140 So please feel free 1.00

01:05:49.540 to look at your phones

01:05:51.160 right now,

01:05:51.940 screenshot this

01:05:53.320 and send it to a loved one

01:05:55.040 because that's gonna get

01:05:56.540 some good responses

01:05:57.540 from them.

01:05:59.540 So typically it seems

01:06:00.720 that these girls 0.93

01:06:02.460 are saying that

01:06:03.100 they're fighting

01:06:03.560 for accountability.

01:06:04.900 Oh,

01:06:05.120 it's so terrible.

01:06:06.040 Look,

01:06:06.220 we all found out

01:06:06.840 at the same time.

01:06:07.500 How can we make him

01:06:08.600 pay for this?

01:06:09.580 We weren't able

01:06:10.640 to get internet TikTok fame

01:06:13.180 through sending him nudes,

01:06:14.500 so now we all

01:06:15.200 have to gang up

01:06:16.080 and we'll get internet famous

01:06:17.600 through this instead,

01:06:18.740 okay?

01:06:19.120 They claim that

01:06:19.740 that's not what they're doing.

01:06:20.460 I'm sure that some of them

01:06:21.220 are being sincere with it.

01:06:22.880 But,

01:06:23.200 I mean,

01:06:23.440 again,

01:06:23.700 this is all like

01:06:24.240 girly high school drama

01:06:25.600 that's going on.

01:06:26.840 So apparently after

01:06:27.660 about six months

01:06:28.600 of commitment,

01:06:29.340 he would just be like,

01:06:30.240 six months of behaviour,

01:06:31.580 he'd be like,

01:06:32.000 oh,

01:06:32.620 I'm not feeling it.

01:06:33.520 I don't want to commit anymore.

01:06:34.660 You know,

01:06:34.900 typical kind of behaviour.

01:06:36.360 But really,

01:06:37.940 really,

01:06:38.940 he's just flirting

01:06:39.960 with a bunch of girls.

01:06:42.100 He's not doing it

01:06:42.940 in the most constructive

01:06:43.940 or socially responsible way.

01:06:45.640 Or honest way.

01:06:46.940 I wouldn't be approving

01:06:48.080 of my friends

01:06:49.340 behaving like this,

01:06:50.720 but it's not like

01:06:52.240 cancel-worthy behaviour

01:06:53.540 outside of the fact

01:06:54.480 that he's always

01:06:55.100 such a male feminist. 1.00

01:06:56.140 The only serious

01:06:57.700 accusation

01:06:59.040 of something

01:06:59.760 that really does seem scummy

01:07:01.240 is that supposedly,

01:07:03.780 according to

01:07:04.560 this girl

01:07:05.640 who he's been friends with,

01:07:07.140 well,

01:07:07.460 who had been friends

01:07:08.260 with him for years,

01:07:09.680 she is saying

01:07:10.540 that he had a discord

01:07:12.000 that was set up

01:07:12.940 where weird stuff

01:07:14.120 was discussed

01:07:14.860 and he had a guy

01:07:15.960 called Camille in it

01:07:17.140 who was coaching

01:07:18.340 and potentially grooming

01:07:19.580 a 14-year-old boy.

01:07:21.980 And Sisson apparently

01:07:22.940 stuck up for this Camille guy

01:07:24.660 and said that he was

01:07:25.760 going to report the issue

01:07:26.720 to the FBI

01:07:27.460 and then immediately

01:07:28.620 asked her for nudes

01:07:29.560 straight after.

01:07:31.260 Guy's got a

01:07:31.940 one-track mind.

01:07:32.960 Very, very strange.

01:07:36.880 But the thing is,

01:07:38.440 if you watch the video,

01:07:39.700 she explains all of this

01:07:41.040 and she says

01:07:42.100 she has receipts

01:07:42.960 and she keeps flashing up

01:07:44.060 these sheets of paper.

01:07:45.340 I thought you were

01:07:46.020 going to say something else then.

01:07:46.920 No, she keeps flashing up

01:07:48.060 these sheets of paper

01:07:49.000 with screenshots

01:07:50.140 of text message exchanges

01:07:51.640 which are reversed

01:07:53.520 so you can't actually

01:07:54.780 read them

01:07:55.380 because she didn't

01:07:56.840 get the image right.

01:07:58.400 And then you can

01:07:59.400 look here

01:08:00.340 and see the receipts,

01:08:02.240 okay?

01:08:03.360 Blimey, those are

01:08:04.300 Yeah, difficult

01:08:05.940 difficult to actually

01:08:08.080 I'm going to call back

01:08:09.660 in a second 0.78

01:08:10.120 may have alcohol liaising

01:08:12.000 Yeah, call me back ASAP

01:08:13.580 in my non-medical opinion

01:08:15.160 I don't think this is

01:08:16.260 based on your speech

01:08:17.060 or responsiveness

01:08:17.920 you're concerning me

01:08:18.860 I'm okay

01:08:20.360 blah blah blah

01:08:20.960 Harry, are you back

01:08:22.180 inside of your apartment?

01:08:23.340 And it doesn't seem

01:08:24.080 to actually prove

01:08:25.380 anything.

01:08:27.720 No, I mean

01:08:28.420 that Harry in the contacts

01:08:30.160 could be a very

01:08:31.060 different Harry.

01:08:31.820 I mean a Harry

01:08:32.880 that could be

01:08:33.800 in this room right now

01:08:35.060 that's

01:08:35.520 throwing cover

01:08:37.020 blaming another Harry

01:08:38.500 Yeah, yeah, yeah

01:08:39.260 we Harry's

01:08:39.880 we've got

01:08:40.280 we've got an agreement

01:08:41.240 alright

01:08:41.820 but again

01:08:43.040 like look at these

01:08:43.900 do they know

01:08:45.560 why is Harry

01:08:46.520 not answering me

01:08:47.320 I'm losing a business

01:08:48.080 partner employee

01:08:48.780 okay

01:08:49.280 none of this

01:08:50.100 seems to actually

01:08:50.720 confirm

01:08:51.260 that there is

01:08:52.300 grooming

01:08:52.960 going on

01:08:54.000 as far as

01:08:54.940 I can tell

01:08:55.600 and none of it

01:08:58.540 is necessarily

01:08:59.600 evidence of just

01:09:00.620 oh here's a few

01:09:01.340 messages

01:09:01.840 okay

01:09:03.100 so

01:09:03.360 I mean

01:09:03.980 that could be

01:09:04.560 true

01:09:04.920 it could be

01:09:05.860 true

01:09:06.200 it might not

01:09:07.340 obviously

01:09:07.840 either way

01:09:08.980 the guy is 1.00

01:09:10.180 is a scumbag 1.00

01:09:11.480 realistically speaking 1.00

01:09:13.800 he is the

01:09:14.920 sneaky effer

01:09:16.000 as Gad

01:09:16.820 Sad

01:09:17.160 would say

01:09:17.700 he is the guy

01:09:18.380 saying

01:09:18.700 I'm an ally

01:09:19.680 I'm such a good guy

01:09:20.980 anyway

01:09:21.580 send nudes bro 0.70

01:09:22.740 it's so inclusive

01:09:25.180 I would say

01:09:25.720 body positive

01:09:26.420 the most surprising

01:09:27.560 thing for people

01:09:28.360 on the right

01:09:29.040 was of course

01:09:30.220 oops

01:09:30.920 don't know how

01:09:32.360 I managed that

01:09:33.040 was that he's straight

01:09:34.340 this was Patrick Casey's

01:09:35.800 response

01:09:36.280 what

01:09:37.720 Harry Sisson

01:09:39.060 is straight

01:09:40.020 oh my god

01:09:41.260 some people say

01:09:43.740 I can't believe

01:09:44.260 he's straight

01:09:44.740 here's how he

01:09:45.600 rizzes up girls 1.00

01:09:46.480 in the gayest 0.99

01:09:47.320 way imaginable 0.90

01:10:01.360 Harry Sisson's

01:10:03.560 with dozens

01:10:04.160 of libtard 1.00

01:10:04.900 eagles

01:10:05.480 the verdict is

01:10:06.880 you look sexy

01:10:07.980 as F

01:10:08.580 court adjourned

01:10:09.760 it's really

01:10:12.120 just that easy

01:10:12.940 it's really

01:10:14.920 just that easy

01:10:15.620 even if I were

01:10:16.320 12 years old

01:10:17.160 that would be

01:10:17.600 cringe

01:10:18.060 apparently it

01:10:19.640 works on

01:10:20.160 somebody

01:10:20.500 but it works

01:10:21.160 it worked well

01:10:21.960 enough that she

01:10:22.560 saved it

01:10:23.160 she was like

01:10:23.540 that's the nicest

01:10:24.220 compliment anyone's

01:10:25.400 ever given me

01:10:26.240 I guess

01:10:27.600 if I looked like

01:10:28.940 him

01:10:29.260 these would have

01:10:30.240 worked more

01:10:30.820 apparently

01:10:31.340 apparently so

01:10:33.180 if you looked like 0.80

01:10:34.160 a complete twink 0.89

01:10:35.580 why thank you

01:10:37.040 maybe

01:10:37.580 maybe

01:10:38.220 instead you're

01:10:38.980 just haggard

01:10:40.080 that's true

01:10:41.160 some people

01:10:42.580 like Aiden

01:10:43.160 friend of the

01:10:43.780 show

01:10:43.980 who's been a

01:10:44.480 guest on it

01:10:44.960 once or twice

01:10:45.580 in the past

01:10:46.060 is speculating

01:10:47.260 that this

01:10:47.840 might actually

01:10:49.060 not prove

01:10:49.720 that he's

01:10:50.200 straight 0.70

01:10:50.560 he might

01:10:51.640 and she wrote

01:10:52.240 a dissertation

01:10:52.760 on this

01:10:53.600 what

01:10:54.260 basically

01:10:55.280 she wrote

01:10:55.800 an essay

01:10:57.480 on this

01:10:57.880 so to

01:10:58.480 summarize it

01:10:59.260 she says

01:11:00.180 over time

01:11:01.520 he became

01:11:02.720 upset with

01:11:03.600 people making

01:11:04.240 fun of him

01:11:04.800 for being 0.54

01:11:05.180 effeminate and 1.00

01:11:05.920 gay 1.00

01:11:06.140 so he decided 0.96

01:11:06.880 to try and

01:11:07.460 pull this off

01:11:08.460 as proof

01:11:09.540 that he's

01:11:10.080 not gay 0.96

01:11:10.560 and it's

01:11:11.100 just

01:11:11.240 backfired

01:11:12.160 I mean

01:11:12.960 there's also

01:11:13.440 another

01:11:13.920 possible angle

01:11:15.420 to this

01:11:15.840 that by

01:11:16.840 people constantly

01:11:17.780 calling him

01:11:19.240 gay 0.99

01:11:19.520 he is 1.00

01:11:19.960 overcompensated

01:11:21.160 massively

01:11:22.880 or

01:11:24.140 or

01:11:24.780 this is

01:11:25.320 DNC

01:11:26.100 agitprop

01:11:27.220 that is

01:11:28.480 possible

01:11:28.900 to get the

01:11:29.280 right to

01:11:29.800 respect him

01:11:30.540 but I

01:11:31.200 want to

01:11:31.680 take a look

01:11:32.180 at his

01:11:32.820 own response

01:11:33.680 to this

01:11:34.260 which is

01:11:35.200 that there

01:11:35.520 really hasn't

01:11:36.580 been a

01:11:37.140 response to

01:11:37.840 this that

01:11:38.200 he's posted

01:11:38.740 on his

01:11:39.060 twitter

01:11:39.300 account

01:11:39.720 here's his

01:11:40.520 pinned tweet

01:11:41.180 which is

01:11:41.580 still up

01:11:42.200 America

01:11:43.020 failed

01:11:43.720 women 1.00

01:11:44.120 tonight

01:11:44.740 Harry

01:11:45.420 Sisson

01:11:45.700 has not

01:11:46.240 failed

01:11:46.560 women 1.00

01:11:46.840 apparently

01:11:47.140 he's been

01:11:48.040 doing great

01:11:48.900 work with

01:11:49.480 women 1.00

01:11:49.780 for years

01:11:50.840 he's got

01:11:51.200 the numbers

01:11:51.660 and then

01:11:52.840 his most

01:11:53.320 recent

01:11:53.740 when I was

01:11:54.140 looking this

01:11:54.580 morning

01:11:54.840 was just

01:11:55.240 this

01:11:55.600 oh feeling

01:11:56.600 good today

01:11:57.160 let's

01:11:57.500 continue to

01:11:58.080 fight for

01:11:58.420 democracy

01:11:58.840 and stay

01:11:59.320 focused on

01:11:59.880 stopping

01:12:00.260 Trump

01:12:00.440 he's

01:12:00.740 still on

01:12:01.200 that DNC

01:12:01.940 grind set

01:12:02.560 quite sigma

01:12:04.260 you can't

01:12:04.980 stop this

01:12:05.460 man

01:12:05.700 he has

01:12:06.400 dealt with

01:12:06.880 it the

01:12:07.160 proper way

01:12:07.800 of just

01:12:08.220 yeah just

01:12:08.960 ignore it

01:12:09.420 carry on

01:12:09.840 life goes

01:12:10.280 on

01:12:10.460 it's

01:12:10.640 nothing

01:12:10.940 he was

01:12:11.240 hitting on

01:12:11.920 a load 0.66

01:12:12.180 of girls

01:12:12.520 at the

01:12:12.760 same

01:12:12.960 time

01:12:13.340 I mean

01:12:15.120 yeah that's

01:12:15.920 dishonest

01:12:16.660 it's scummy 0.97

01:12:18.240 it's nowhere near the scummiest thing that anybody's ever done

01:12:21.120 especially in politics

01:12:22.220 call me in 20 years when he has an actual sex scandal where he's like

01:12:26.640 no don't call me

01:12:28.440 yeah then there might be a story here you want to see something that's actually terrible

01:12:34.540 I just wanted to remind everybody of this again again I needed to just pop it up again

01:12:40.840 because that is my favorite image to come from this whole thing it's amazing

01:12:47.220 so something that's actually terrible that actually does seem to be a crime that is going that has been going to be litigated soon which is destiny

01:13:00.020 that's putting it lightly 0.97

01:13:02.040 scumbag 0.99

01:13:02.640 an actual awful person 0.97

01:13:05.220 not that I'm a big fan of Harry Sisson at all

01:13:08.120 I'm not a fan of him

01:13:09.460 not a fan of anybody in this story actually 0.92

01:13:11.720 all of these people are awful

01:13:13.360 but still

01:13:14.280 destiny has had a number of allegations

01:13:16.700 starting earlier on this year

01:13:19.000 that he had been

01:13:20.360 as we all know

01:13:21.180 he was in that open relationship with his ex-wife

01:13:24.100 he's known for

01:13:25.160 he's known to have slept about a lot with girls who were basically trying to sleep with him to see if they could get a hold of his audience

01:13:33.440 well it's not for his body or his physique or intelligence

01:13:36.280 or his personality

01:13:37.180 or his personality

01:13:37.940 his looks

01:13:38.620 it's for his audience

01:13:40.520 and women have actually been screenshot on discord talking about this saying that that's the exact reason that they did sleep with him 0.70

01:13:47.060 I remember seeing a picture of destiny at the beach

01:13:49.580 now I didn't look this up it came up on twitter

01:13:51.420 it does get popped up every now and again

01:13:53.120 and I was

01:13:54.700 it actually led me to google whether he had any sort of heritable diseases or something

01:13:59.480 because I was just like

01:14:00.380 it looks emaciated

01:14:01.480 it's a very strange body type

01:14:02.980 it's like the body type of

01:14:04.260 if you'd been locked in a basement

01:14:06.320 chained to a desk

01:14:07.820 and on a computer

01:14:09.080 that is the sort of peak body type you would get

01:14:12.080 well it makes sense given his streaming career

01:14:14.060 it also looks like you've taken

01:14:15.560 a normal sized baby

01:14:17.700 and blown it up to maybe

01:14:20.000 five foot three however tall he is

01:14:22.360 is very very strange

01:14:23.660 very narrow shoulders

01:14:24.940 skinny arms 0.98

01:14:25.860 disgusting 1.00

01:14:26.800 disgusting abdomen 1.00

01:14:28.440 anyway 0.98

01:14:29.140 so turns out

01:14:31.400 that the allegations that have been coming out

01:14:33.420 are that he

01:14:34.560 a number of times

01:14:35.860 filmed himself 0.99

01:14:37.480 having sex with these women 0.99

01:14:38.740 without telling them 0.99

01:14:39.940 and then had been sharing them about

01:14:42.320 with other people on discord

01:14:43.860 who have then

01:14:45.560 gone on to share these videos

01:14:47.780 on pornography websites

01:14:49.500 so the first thing

01:14:51.520 on its own

01:14:52.380 is awful

01:14:53.420 the second

01:14:54.460 the second thing

01:14:55.580 on top of that

01:14:56.520 just makes it

01:14:58.280 I don't know

01:14:59.460 if there's words

01:14:59.940 strong enough

01:15:00.680 to condemn this

01:15:02.360 really

01:15:02.720 it's like one of the most

01:15:04.460 malevolent

01:15:05.460 and horrible things

01:15:06.920 you can ever do

01:15:07.900 to a woman

01:15:09.200 and he's now claiming

01:15:10.680 that he is the victim

01:15:11.840 of this

01:15:12.900 so

01:15:13.460 I'll just go through

01:15:15.100 some of these details

01:15:15.900 very quickly

01:15:16.380 so one

01:15:17.280 about 25 year old woman

01:15:19.380 who goes by Pixie Love

01:15:20.820 online

01:15:21.320 has sued Destiny

01:15:23.060 the other week

01:15:24.080 for 2.15 million dollars

01:15:26.140 claiming that he leaked videos 0.72

01:15:27.420 of himself having sex with her 0.65

01:15:28.760 when she was about 21

01:15:30.200 that ended up being viewed

01:15:31.660 on porn sites

01:15:32.400 over 70,000 times

01:15:34.180 which has left her suicidal

01:15:35.680 another

01:15:36.380 whose online name is Cheery

01:15:37.640 the woman we saw in the tweet before

01:15:39.240 says she's filed a police report

01:15:41.000 against him

01:15:41.500 for sharing an intimate audio recording

01:15:43.360 of her

01:15:43.740 taken without her consent

01:15:45.300 so he's apparently just recording

01:15:46.820 anything and everything

01:15:47.840 from these women 0.76

01:15:48.560 allegedly

01:15:49.180 Pixie's lawsuit alleges

01:15:50.860 that two other women 0.99

01:15:51.740 including his ex-wife

01:15:53.380 Melina

01:15:53.920 Goranson

01:15:55.640 and some woman called Stasia

01:15:57.740 have also publicly alleged

01:15:59.400 that he has released

01:16:00.040 sexually explicit videos

01:16:01.120 of them

01:16:01.520 without their consent

01:16:02.700 the lawsuit by Pixie

01:16:04.480 was filed in Miami

01:16:05.440 federal court

01:16:06.200 on February 18th

01:16:07.100 under the pseudonym

01:16:07.720 Jane Doe 0.78

01:16:08.300 but she has shared

01:16:09.260 post online

01:16:09.960 about the complaint

01:16:12.120 identifying herself

01:16:13.220 as the plaintiff

01:16:13.940 she claims that Bonnell met her

01:16:15.780 Bonnell being his real name

01:16:17.040 online in 2018

01:16:18.140 when she was 19

01:16:18.940 and that she had sexual relations

01:16:20.420 with him two years later

01:16:21.780 in September 2020

01:16:22.980 she alleges

01:16:24.020 he made a sex tape

01:16:25.180 then sent it to

01:16:26.100 another 19 year old

01:16:27.720 called Rose

01:16:28.540 who he met on the platform

01:16:30.040 Discord

01:16:30.480 and then she just started

01:16:31.940 sharing it about

01:16:32.740 his response to this

01:16:33.980 has been

01:16:34.420 well

01:16:35.340 listen

01:16:35.940 listen

01:16:36.720 I didn't want these videos

01:16:39.200 ending up on porn sites

01:16:40.440 either

01:16:40.900 so I'm equally the victim

01:16:43.000 as you are

01:16:43.620 but by sending them

01:16:44.420 to people

01:16:44.960 you've already published

01:16:46.360 them online

01:16:46.960 in the law's eyes

01:16:48.160 you've already done it

01:16:49.540 you're inviting it

01:16:50.580 so obviously

01:16:51.840 Harry Sisson

01:16:52.880 what he's done

01:16:53.680 not good

01:16:54.820 pretty dishonest

01:16:56.420 this is actually

01:16:58.680 something worth

01:16:59.800 losing your career over

01:17:01.200 as far as I'm concerned

01:17:02.800 not that I'm a Sisson fan

01:17:04.280 he's a DNC shill

01:17:05.700 couldn't wish the worst

01:17:07.100 for him

01:17:07.580 I do wish the worst

01:17:09.920 for him actually

01:17:10.580 I was very confused

01:17:12.300 that's very

01:17:13.240 you have infected me 0.57

01:17:15.520 with your inability 0.98

01:17:16.680 to speak English 1.00

01:17:17.820 you Scottish swine 0.80

01:17:19.240 well 0.92

01:17:19.880 the problem is

01:17:21.000 that I eat a lot of pasta

01:17:22.080 and I've realised

01:17:23.060 that when I eat a lot of pasta

01:17:25.060 it makes me illiterate

01:17:26.700 ok

01:17:27.420 I don't know why

01:17:29.120 it just seems to happen

01:17:30.480 it's the carbs maybe

01:17:31.420 I don't know

01:17:31.920 that's a hell of a

01:17:32.960 that's a hell of an excuse

01:17:34.340 but I accept it

01:17:35.440 thank you

01:17:35.960 anyway

01:17:36.440 so

01:17:36.820 Destiny

01:17:37.560 I'm very interested

01:17:38.320 to see what comes

01:17:39.040 of these lawsuits

01:17:39.880 because

01:17:40.440 couldn't happen

01:17:41.900 to a nicer guy

01:17:42.720 anyway

01:17:43.180 on to the last

01:17:44.460 Rumble rants

01:17:45.160 that's a random name

01:17:46.460 again

01:17:46.860 Niagara Falls

01:17:48.000 is a really apt

01:17:48.760 comparison

01:17:49.280 if you've ever been there

01:17:50.340 you'll know how much

01:17:51.000 it reeks of

01:17:51.600 also the two in my name

01:17:54.400 is because Rumble

01:17:54.960 keeps censoring

01:17:55.760 my main account's

01:17:56.500 comments about Islam

01:17:57.480 oh ok

01:17:58.160 that's weird

01:17:59.120 yeah

01:17:59.480 Rumble's doing

01:18:00.420 yeah that's very strange

01:18:01.420 Matt G Hammond

01:18:02.400 does anyone think

01:18:03.300 Harry Sisson

01:18:03.860 is actually straight

01:18:05.160 listen I know

01:18:06.060 that he's a twink

01:18:06.900 but all young men

01:18:08.760 like that

01:18:09.420 in DNC

01:18:10.400 operatives

01:18:11.860 are going to be

01:18:12.620 twinks ok

01:18:13.220 so I do genuinely

01:18:15.160 believe that he is

01:18:15.960 probably just

01:18:16.700 an F boy 1.00

01:18:19.400 who got caught

01:18:20.120 it wouldn't shock me

01:18:21.680 you see them all the time

01:18:22.720 in this country

01:18:23.320 is the F boy 0.74

01:18:26.280 is that

01:18:26.720 four letter word

01:18:28.700 yes

01:18:29.260 ok I thought

01:18:30.080 yeah one that Carl

01:18:30.920 wouldn't want me saying

01:18:31.620 on the podcast

01:18:32.000 of course

01:18:32.500 no no

01:18:33.000 swearing is bad

01:18:34.200 we've all encountered

01:18:35.220 them

01:18:35.560 DXTN64

01:18:37.720 oh please come to

01:18:38.820 Peru

01:18:39.160 when speed came over

01:18:40.360 they made him

01:18:40.860 major of the capital

01:18:41.820 for one day 0.85

01:18:42.520 total clown show 0.82

01:18:43.380 socially 0.97

01:18:43.860 but beautiful country

01:18:44.920 nonetheless

01:18:45.320 and the Habsification 1.00

01:18:47.440 says

01:18:47.880 this is the opposite

01:18:48.780 of Nick Fuentes

01:18:49.480 trying to be straight

01:18:50.700 while Harry Sisson

01:18:51.820 known paid

01:18:52.620 democrat

01:18:53.120 paid shill

01:18:53.840 is a straight

01:18:54.700 lefty F boy

01:18:55.660 but he comes across 0.98

01:18:56.840 very gay 1.00

01:18:57.460 yeah 0.98

01:18:58.740 sounds about right

01:18:59.660 that is about right

01:19:00.580 do we have video

01:19:02.420 comments

01:19:03.200 we do

01:19:04.080 ok

01:19:06.360 oh

01:19:13.260 why have you paused it

01:19:14.660 wait what

01:19:24.140 California refugee

01:19:26.720 has disproved

01:19:27.680 the big bang

01:19:28.360 there you go

01:19:29.540 answer that

01:19:30.580 science man

01:19:31.420 I don't know

01:19:32.820 I don't have all the answers

01:19:34.000 I'm a psychologist

01:19:34.900 I can tell you

01:19:35.640 I can tell you

01:19:36.300 how it makes me feel

01:19:37.200 I thought you didn't

01:19:38.460 it makes

01:19:38.820 he's vindicated

01:19:39.620 it makes me feel

01:19:40.320 confused

01:19:40.920 that's my

01:19:43.060 professional opinion

01:19:43.980 me too

01:19:44.520 next video comment

01:19:47.580 do we have one

01:19:48.420 no that's it

01:19:49.360 alright

01:19:49.720 let's go through

01:19:50.380 comments

01:19:50.820 ok

01:19:52.380 some general ones

01:19:55.080 Angela S

01:19:55.920 I'm very excited

01:19:56.960 I was able to

01:19:57.840 finally attain

01:19:58.820 Islander issue 3

01:20:00.340 and it made it to

01:20:01.800 Louisiana

01:20:02.260 it is breathtaking

01:20:03.500 and very well written

01:20:04.820 thank you

01:20:05.500 been growing

01:20:05.960 with Carl

01:20:07.220 since before

01:20:07.720 Lotus Eaters

01:20:08.400 love all the growth

01:20:09.700 and all

01:20:10.440 you can learn

01:20:12.160 now with Lotus Eaters

01:20:13.740 I even use it

01:20:14.600 with my homeschooling

01:20:15.540 thank you all

01:20:16.220 for your hard work

01:20:17.020 that's very kind of you

01:20:18.120 thank you

01:20:18.620 would you like me

01:20:19.400 to read the rest of them

01:20:20.420 yeah sure

01:20:21.480 ok carry on

01:20:22.360 carry

01:20:22.560 I was just going to say

01:20:24.140 that it's always very

01:20:25.520 heartwarming

01:20:26.860 that people feel like

01:20:27.840 our content is good enough

01:20:29.380 on certain subjects

01:20:30.760 to educate their children

01:20:32.300 I feel like a tremendous

01:20:35.280 amount of responsibility

01:20:36.400 is now on my shoulders

01:20:37.420 but I suppose

01:20:39.340 that's only going to work

01:20:40.180 in my favour

01:20:40.600 to make better stuff

01:20:41.420 there you go

01:20:42.260 TMK out of context

01:20:44.160 says a rare combination

01:20:45.400 of hosts

01:20:45.900 but some might say

01:20:46.800 tremendous

01:20:47.320 the best combination

01:20:48.580 I agree with that

01:20:49.540 although I'd say

01:20:50.200 we're not that rare

01:20:51.120 a combination of hosts

01:20:51.920 we've had quite a few

01:20:52.640 Thursdays recently

01:20:53.560 where it's just us too

01:20:54.420 yeah I think next Thursday

01:20:55.700 we're doing the same thing

01:20:56.480 again at home

01:20:56.980 yeah exactly

01:20:57.600 it's actually

01:20:58.140 it's a good thing

01:20:59.280 it's a good combination

01:21:00.200 the monkey

01:21:01.180 Josh and Harry

01:21:02.180 are the new dream team

01:21:03.260 of the Lotus Eaters

01:21:04.240 yes

01:21:04.880 there you go

01:21:06.100 I'm Spartacus

01:21:07.400 loving the new lighting

01:21:08.420 on you both

01:21:08.960 or is it new cameras as well

01:21:10.240 just new lighting

01:21:10.940 completely wrong

01:21:11.580 yeah just the new lighting

01:21:12.760 they've done a great job with it

01:21:14.160 although if you were in the room

01:21:15.300 with us right now

01:21:16.180 you'd be a little bit worried

01:21:18.020 about your head

01:21:18.620 there's a lot of zip ties

01:21:21.280 involved

01:21:21.700 let's just say that

01:21:22.540 hello Lotus Eaters

01:21:24.740 out of context

01:21:25.440 oh that sounds terrible

01:21:27.560 out of context

01:21:28.260 doesn't it

01:21:29.560 Biggie Bigfoot 0.74

01:21:30.880 says shadows

01:21:31.520 just feels gross to me

01:21:33.340 considering how prevalent 0.97

01:21:34.700 black on Asian violence is 0.92

01:21:36.260 they would never even 0.97

01:21:37.300 consider making a game

01:21:38.360 where a white protagonist 0.98

01:21:39.220 slaughters countless 0.99

01:21:40.000 black lives 1.00

01:21:40.720 that's true

01:21:42.780 yep

01:21:43.280 yep

01:21:43.740 pretty much

01:21:44.240 Assassin's Creed Zulu

01:21:45.180 uh Jen

01:21:46.300 I'd play that

01:21:47.900 Jen Havy S

01:21:49.080 good morning Harry and Josh

01:21:50.400 it was probably best for Daily Wire

01:21:51.560 not to associate themselves

01:21:52.560 with Candace Owens

01:21:53.740 Brett Cooper's pretty great though

01:21:55.420 I'm not sure what happened there

01:21:56.600 yeah I can understand

01:21:57.800 Candace Owens likes to court 1.00

01:21:59.440 controversy

01:21:59.980 and then

01:22:00.520 obviously she had her Jew arc 0.95

01:22:02.680 and then she also had

01:22:03.720 some kind of arc

01:22:04.560 to do with

01:22:05.240 like

01:22:06.140 um

01:22:06.920 secret

01:22:07.600 French Freemasons 0.71

01:22:09.060 or something

01:22:09.760 where she's like

01:22:10.220 actually it wasn't the Jews

01:22:11.280 it was this French Freemasons 0.75

01:22:12.720 controlling the Jews 1.00

01:22:13.660 behind their backs 0.98

01:22:14.400 something like that

01:22:15.420 I remember seeing people

01:22:16.580 post about it

01:22:17.140 she can be very schizo 1.00

01:22:18.960 uh

01:22:20.220 Brett Cooper I'm not

01:22:21.020 particularly familiar with

01:22:22.260 but again

01:22:23.080 I wouldn't be surprised

01:22:24.140 if there's a big clash

01:22:25.420 of egos that goes on

01:22:26.600 in a business like

01:22:27.220 The Daily Wire

01:22:27.800 because there are a lot

01:22:28.760 of egos behind the scenes

01:22:30.200 especially Jeremy Boring

01:22:32.020 being a very unique CEO

01:22:33.720 also

01:22:34.680 good morning

01:22:35.480 yeah good morning to you too

01:22:36.900 a somewhere person

01:22:37.940 I find The Daily Wire

01:22:39.000 largely irrelevant these days

01:22:40.280 a lot of their offerings

01:22:41.020 are effectively left-wing

01:22:42.160 pettiness

01:22:42.580 but on the right

01:22:43.260 and the public attitude

01:22:44.080 for this

01:22:44.620 appetite for that

01:22:45.880 is low to non-existent

01:22:46.980 these days

01:22:47.380 compared to

01:22:47.880 just make something good

01:22:49.080 whenever it's the modern

01:22:50.600 badly animated TV shows

01:22:52.080 copying the woke shows

01:22:52.940 oh don't remind me of those

01:22:54.400 don't remind me of those

01:22:55.140 oh dear yes

01:22:55.940 the razor brand

01:22:57.420 to dunk on

01:22:58.340 Harry's razors

01:22:59.240 I think you meant

01:23:00.160 Gillette's razors

01:23:00.960 or the chocolate bars

01:23:02.000 because Hershey's

01:23:02.740 went woke

01:23:03.260 I'm surprised they didn't

01:23:04.200 try and get into beer

01:23:05.300 after Bud Light

01:23:06.080 there were already

01:23:07.080 a load of different

01:23:07.900 companies doing that

01:23:08.620 I think Hulk Hogan

01:23:09.540 made a

01:23:09.920 like true American

01:23:11.240 beer brother

01:23:12.120 there's no shortage

01:23:13.220 of beer

01:23:13.700 you don't

01:23:15.020 it's not like Bud

01:23:16.040 Light's the only beer

01:23:17.140 and you've got to come out

01:23:17.960 with another kind

01:23:18.960 there are lots

01:23:19.720 also you don't have to

01:23:20.800 this is the secret

01:23:21.640 you don't have to drink

01:23:22.520 light beer at all

01:23:23.840 that's true

01:23:24.640 good beer

01:23:25.540 instead a hearty ale

01:23:27.140 perhaps

01:23:27.660 if you have a room

01:23:28.720 temperature ale

01:23:29.480 I know that might

01:23:30.640 be very offensive

01:23:32.980 to the other side

01:23:34.180 of the Atlantic

01:23:34.700 but it's very nice

01:23:35.580 actually

01:23:35.980 they can be quite nice

01:23:37.240 yeah

01:23:37.500 Sophie Liv

01:23:38.560 I will say

01:23:39.100 I did admire Daily

01:23:39.880 Wires

01:23:40.120 wish to make movies

01:23:40.880 and show how it

01:23:41.520 can be done right

01:23:42.120 the issue is

01:23:42.660 they didn't do it

01:23:43.400 right

01:23:43.640 their movies just

01:23:44.600 weren't that good

01:23:45.320 if you're going to

01:23:46.160 do this

01:23:46.480 you have to make

01:23:46.900 sure the movies

01:23:47.340 are really good

01:23:47.880 and you have skilled

01:23:48.620 and efficient people

01:23:49.600 working on it

01:23:50.080 yeah I think

01:23:50.660 the problem is

01:23:51.360 with the scripts

01:23:52.320 that I

01:23:52.640 well with the

01:23:53.260 clips that I saw

01:23:54.220 especially of that

01:23:54.840 terrible terrible

01:23:56.060 cartoon show

01:23:56.980 that they did

01:23:57.900 was that

01:23:58.840 you need to

01:24:00.700 first and foremost

01:24:01.680 before any

01:24:02.980 political agit

01:24:04.080 prop or

01:24:04.780 ideology that you

01:24:05.940 want to put in there

01:24:06.740 make sure it's good

01:24:07.900 make sure you've got

01:24:09.320 a good script

01:24:10.400 to work with

01:24:11.340 and if you're

01:24:12.040 just trying to

01:24:13.060 set your mind

01:24:13.540 on making

01:24:14.180 something good

01:24:15.060 inevitably

01:24:16.060 your own views

01:24:17.900 will become

01:24:18.580 part of it

01:24:19.460 because

01:24:19.980 well you can't

01:24:20.940 separate your views

01:24:21.980 from yourself

01:24:22.920 and when you're

01:24:23.420 writing

01:24:23.780 so if you write

01:24:24.720 it well

01:24:25.200 people will like

01:24:26.380 it

01:24:26.500 they will appreciate

01:24:27.160 it

01:24:27.520 and you'll get

01:24:27.980 all of that

01:24:28.460 in it anyway

01:24:29.160 if you're going

01:24:30.000 first and foremost

01:24:30.880 I want to push

01:24:31.680 a message with this

01:24:32.660 I hate to sound

01:24:34.180 like Constantine

01:24:35.420 Kissin right now

01:24:36.280 but that is the

01:24:37.060 same thing

01:24:37.440 the woke people

01:24:38.240 do

01:24:38.540 that is the same

01:24:39.940 there can be

01:24:40.500 parallels Harry

01:24:41.340 yeah that is the

01:24:41.980 same thing the

01:24:42.480 wokes do just 0.95

01:24:43.180 from a right-wing

01:24:43.940 perspective

01:24:44.480 and it just

01:24:44.960 ultimately leads

01:24:45.940 to bad culture

01:24:46.740 I did a two-part

01:24:48.300 contemplations

01:24:48.960 talking about that

01:24:49.720 I just wasn't

01:24:50.340 lame and annoying

01:24:51.680 like Kissin was 0.78

01:24:52.520 Constantine Kissin

01:24:53.660 is like

01:24:54.320 woke right is

01:24:55.660 people who are

01:24:56.240 to the right of

01:24:56.820 me whereas I'm

01:24:57.580 like woke right

01:24:58.280 is Daily Wire

01:24:59.480 making terrible

01:25:00.540 television programs

01:25:01.700 that's what

01:25:03.760 James Limsey

01:25:04.420 doesn't know

01:25:05.360 it's actually

01:25:05.940 the Daily Wire

01:25:06.620 this whole time

01:25:07.420 do you want to

01:25:08.180 read some of

01:25:08.560 yours

01:25:08.840 go on then

01:25:09.920 so Lord

01:25:11.720 Nerevar says

01:25:12.560 it's genuinely

01:25:14.200 hilarious how many

01:25:15.100 F-ups you 0.81

01:25:15.820 Ubi Slop have 0.99

01:25:17.380 made with

01:25:18.060 shadows

01:25:18.560 Yasuke is the

01:25:20.200 obvious biggest

01:25:21.160 blunder but they

01:25:22.060 seem to have done

01:25:22.480 everything in their

01:25:23.120 power to insult

01:25:23.800 Japan and

01:25:24.400 Japanese culture 0.52

01:25:25.140 degrade the 0.93

01:25:25.740 audience and put

01:25:26.500 themselves in the

01:25:27.620 S financially

01:25:28.480 we can only hope

01:25:30.020 that the sales

01:25:30.520 numbers will reflect

01:25:31.320 the quality of the

01:25:32.060 experience

01:25:32.600 now I don't

01:25:33.840 actually think

01:25:34.520 that it's going

01:25:34.920 to do bad

01:25:35.520 commercially

01:25:36.380 that's my 0.90

01:25:37.660 unfortunate black 1.00

01:25:39.040 pill of the day

01:25:39.740 I think it's

01:25:40.340 going to do

01:25:40.660 relatively well

01:25:41.560 because people

01:25:43.720 will lap it up

01:25:44.420 because it's

01:25:44.900 Assassin's Creed

01:25:45.580 and it's got

01:25:45.960 name recognition

01:25:46.680 and some normie

01:25:47.720 on the street

01:25:48.120 is going to be

01:25:48.420 like why is 0.84

01:25:48.900 there a black 0.57

01:25:49.240 guy on the

01:25:49.620 cover but

01:25:50.060 they'll still

01:25:50.360 buy it

01:25:51.100 and they'll

01:25:52.760 still play it

01:25:53.280 and they'll

01:25:53.480 still think it's

01:25:53.960 good because

01:25:54.440 they won't

01:25:54.700 question it

01:25:54.900 so if you

01:26:02.580 live says

01:26:03.000 putting all

01:26:03.380 this cultural

01:26:03.760 stuff aside

01:26:04.340 and just

01:26:04.620 looking at

01:26:04.940 the gameplay

01:26:05.360 that's now

01:26:05.780 been released

01:26:06.500 the game

01:26:07.060 actually has

01:26:07.640 some of the

01:26:07.920 worst voice

01:26:08.400 acting I've

01:26:08.880 ever heard

01:26:09.420 it's horrific

01:26:10.380 and you

01:26:11.260 should look

01:26:11.580 it up

01:26:11.960 the colors

01:26:12.960 are bright

01:26:13.300 and saturated

01:26:13.820 giving it

01:26:14.300 that cartoonish

01:26:15.040 Disney-fied

01:26:15.800 look that also

01:26:17.040 happened to

01:26:17.660 Dragon Age

01:26:18.120 Veilguard

01:26:18.620 making it

01:26:19.080 impossible to

01:26:19.640 take it

01:26:19.940 seriously

01:26:20.360 doesn't even

01:26:21.180 look like an

01:26:21.700 Assassin's Creed

01:26:22.320 game

01:26:22.720 Yasuke plays

01:26:23.900 like he's a

01:26:24.440 tank

01:26:24.780 that isn't

01:26:25.700 how you're

01:26:25.980 supposed to

01:26:26.340 play Assassin's

01:26:27.020 Creed

01:26:27.200 that's God

01:26:27.940 of War

01:26:28.280 territory

01:26:28.720 and if you

01:26:29.520 want to do

01:26:29.980 a God of War 0.69

01:26:30.620 ripoff that's

01:26:31.180 fine but don't

01:26:31.780 call it Assassin's

01:26:32.480 Creed

01:26:32.740 so even without

01:26:34.000 the huge cultural

01:26:34.860 backlash it just

01:26:35.740 looks like a

01:26:36.160 really bad game

01:26:36.900 and you can tell

01:26:37.500 that no one who

01:26:38.320 worked on the

01:26:39.140 classic Assassin's

01:26:39.960 Creed games works

01:26:41.000 at Ubisoft anymore

01:26:41.880 that is true

01:26:42.760 and yeah there are

01:26:44.140 lots of good

01:26:44.620 alternatives out there

01:26:45.420 you don't have to

01:26:46.040 play any hollow

01:26:48.240 Ubisoft game

01:26:49.340 there's more

01:26:50.460 interesting

01:26:50.840 and if you want

01:26:51.340 a good game

01:26:51.880 you mentioned

01:26:52.420 them there

01:26:52.960 don't play the

01:26:54.260 newer God of War

01:26:55.120 games because

01:26:55.640 yeah you're

01:26:56.040 right they

01:26:56.380 ruined it by

01:26:57.140 turning Kratos

01:26:58.500 into a tank

01:26:59.160 in the original

01:27:00.320 three games

01:27:01.100 he's smooth as

01:27:01.880 butter it was

01:27:02.420 much more

01:27:02.860 Devil May Cry

01:27:03.580 back in those

01:27:04.220 games as well

01:27:04.720 it's a shame

01:27:05.500 that they had

01:27:07.080 to go with

01:27:07.580 let's have it

01:27:08.080 over the shoulder

01:27:08.820 one continuous

01:27:09.680 shot just like

01:27:10.540 a really badly

01:27:11.220 made film where

01:27:12.160 you go over budget

01:27:13.220 and nothing makes

01:27:13.820 sense

01:27:13.960 not that I

01:27:14.800 didn't like the

01:27:15.360 first God of War

01:27:17.060 4 but I much

01:27:18.700 prefer the original

01:27:19.500 three they're

01:27:20.140 fantastic games

01:27:21.040 that God of War 0.57

01:27:22.780 reminded me a bit

01:27:23.960 of the Uncharted

01:27:25.100 games like the

01:27:26.000 over the shoulder

01:27:26.600 camera

01:27:27.000 it wanted to be

01:27:27.160 The Last of Us

01:27:27.940 yeah it had that

01:27:29.160 sort of vibe about

01:27:29.900 it and I don't

01:27:30.540 think it really

01:27:31.060 suited it it was a

01:27:32.760 fun game but I

01:27:33.460 never completed it

01:27:34.260 I agree with that

01:27:35.180 one video on

01:27:36.560 YouTube that said

01:27:37.380 Assassin's Creed

01:27:38.300 sorry not Assassin's

01:27:39.220 Creed God of War 1.00

01:27:40.100 was always deep 1.00

01:27:41.080 you fools 1.00

01:27:41.700 it's always a really 0.99

01:27:43.620 good story and people

01:27:44.520 really don't appreciate

01:27:45.620 that

01:27:46.020 that's true

01:27:46.900 I've heard a few

01:27:52.140 of my friends talk

01:27:52.920 about how it's good

01:27:53.680 so I think you

01:27:56.700 would have to see

01:27:57.660 the extent of the

01:27:58.400 wokeness in the game

01:27:59.120 and make your own

01:28:00.080 mind up but I

01:28:00.780 imagine the gameplay

01:28:01.460 the story the world

01:28:02.560 will be really good

01:28:04.480 Annie Emos says

01:28:07.260 Ubisoft has actually

01:28:08.000 done something

01:28:08.460 oh I'll read one

01:28:09.640 more

01:28:09.880 done something

01:28:10.760 pretty amazing

01:28:11.320 with the release of

01:28:11.880 Assassin's Creed

01:28:12.460 they have single

01:28:13.260 handedly insulted

01:28:13.960 the entire nation of

01:28:14.840 Japan to the degree 0.97

01:28:16.060 that Ubisoft is

01:28:17.100 being investigated

01:28:17.820 for violations of

01:28:18.860 Japanese culture

01:28:19.620 the game is so 0.94

01:28:20.680 awful they insulted

01:28:21.680 not only gamers

01:28:22.600 but a country

01:28:23.580 next level hideousness

01:28:25.220 that's very true

01:28:26.680 Kevin M

01:28:29.160 Sisson might be the

01:28:30.180 first person ever

01:28:31.160 to be exposed

01:28:32.180 as straight

01:28:33.300 you know

01:28:35.040 Robert J O'Neill

01:28:36.100 he just gave him

01:28:36.800 too much of a good

01:28:37.600 thing

01:28:37.960 flipped him right

01:28:39.020 back around

01:28:39.900 in more ways than

01:28:41.500 one

01:28:41.700 Michael Drybelbus

01:28:43.000 says in order for

01:28:44.240 Harry Sisson to have

01:28:45.120 a sex scandal

01:28:45.820 he'd actually have 0.96

01:28:46.800 to have sex 0.98

01:28:47.520 with something 0.99

01:28:48.420 other than his

01:28:49.420 hand

01:28:49.760 true

01:28:50.260 Chase Ball

01:28:51.400 yeah

01:28:52.160 Destiny looks like

01:28:53.580 one of those

01:28:54.060 smaller class

01:28:54.800 titans in Attack

01:28:55.700 on Titan

01:28:56.200 actually does

01:28:58.300 he does

01:28:59.020 Paul Newbar

01:29:00.140 Sisson did nothing

01:29:01.000 wrong other than 1.00

01:29:01.940 being a moron 1.00

01:29:02.760 yeah again 1.00

01:29:03.500 I don't know why

01:29:04.760 you would want to

01:29:05.280 do the thing that

01:29:05.840 he did in the

01:29:06.300 first place

01:29:06.700 maybe it gave

01:29:07.360 him a great

01:29:07.740 feeling of power

01:29:08.500 but again

01:29:09.080 I'm just

01:29:09.840 maybe I'm too

01:29:10.460 lazy for the

01:29:11.180 f-boy life 0.99

01:29:11.920 I'm way too

01:29:13.420 lazy for that

01:29:13.980 it's way too

01:29:14.700 much bother

01:29:15.200 Derek Power

01:29:16.340 remember

01:29:17.000 Harry Sissy

01:29:18.480 voted for

01:29:19.280 cackling

01:29:19.680 commie

01:29:20.040 Karen

01:29:20.360 use

01:29:21.040 Melanie Mack's

01:29:21.940 theorem

01:29:22.280 yeah well I

01:29:23.400 remember her

01:29:24.020 theorem

01:29:24.300 yes

01:29:24.620 North Blood 0.96

01:29:25.700 I hate these

01:29:26.560 pricks can pull

01:29:27.440 women 1.00

01:29:27.820 also these girls 0.99

01:29:28.980 are just mad that

01:29:29.580 they sent nudes to

01:29:30.320 an f-boy and that

01:29:31.300 makes them look like 1.00

01:29:32.140 whores 1.00

01:29:32.600 she fits

01:29:34.600 yeah

01:29:34.960 the monkey

01:29:35.800 why is some

01:29:36.480 young girl

01:29:36.920 printing out

01:29:37.540 web content

01:29:38.220 like she's 0.64

01:29:38.720 Alex Jones

01:29:39.300 just show the

01:29:40.140 digital version

01:29:40.860 boomer

01:29:41.100 that was my

01:29:41.880 that was my

01:29:42.860 thing as well

01:29:43.540 I was like

01:29:44.080 okay I can't

01:29:45.020 see any of

01:29:45.560 these

01:29:45.800 you're flashing

01:29:46.680 up these sheets

01:29:47.320 of paper for

01:29:48.020 one second

01:29:48.700 they're reversed

01:29:49.740 so you can't

01:29:50.440 read them

01:29:50.840 and then you

01:29:51.300 actually read

01:29:51.880 some of the

01:29:52.520 message exchanges

01:29:53.780 that she's

01:29:54.620 that are online

01:29:56.300 where people have

01:29:57.400 flipped it so you

01:29:58.060 can actually read

01:29:58.560 it and you go

01:29:58.940 this isn't

01:30:01.260 this doesn't

01:30:01.720 prove anything

01:30:02.360 this doesn't

01:30:03.540 prove anything

01:30:04.180 so it's just

01:30:04.720 pure allegations

01:30:05.520 obviously if it

01:30:06.540 turns out that

01:30:07.000 they're true

01:30:07.480 then that really

01:30:08.340 is something bad

01:30:09.500 that he'll have

01:30:09.960 done which has

01:30:10.420 been defending

01:30:11.360 a groomer

01:30:11.960 but we don't

01:30:12.820 know

01:30:13.060 okay well

01:30:15.040 on that note

01:30:15.840 it's time to

01:30:16.380 end the show

01:30:16.960 thank you very

01:30:17.940 much for watching

01:30:18.520 I've had a lot

01:30:19.160 of fun I think

01:30:19.900 I've digested

01:30:20.560 most of my

01:30:20.980 pasta

01:30:21.340 thank you very

01:30:22.380 much for

01:30:22.660 watching

01:30:22.940 spell it

01:30:23.500 I don't think

01:30:24.720 it's quite ready

01:30:25.240 yet but anyway

01:30:26.140 on that note

01:30:26.900 bye
