The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1412

00:00:00.000 Hello and welcome to the podcast Lotus Eaters episode 1412. I'm joined today by Luca and the singing sensation Stelios.

00:00:13.860 Thank you very much, my brothers. I'm going to be talking about cannons, so it was a good idea for me to sing about Baywatch.

00:00:21.280 Alright, okay, so that's what that was, because I had no clue what was going on, if I'm honest.

00:00:27.220 I can't believe you even attempted to find a connection to justify it.

00:00:30.900 I mean, you just wanted to sing.

00:00:33.580 Let's have some fun.

00:00:34.620 Yes, definitely.

00:00:35.420 Let's have some fun.

00:00:36.240 I want to do more fun.

00:00:37.700 I thought if we were all just going to break out into songs,

00:00:39.840 like something we would listen to,

00:00:40.960 I was going to start breaking out into In the End by Linkin Park.

00:00:44.180 But, you know, I don't know.

00:00:45.500 We are going to collaborate.

00:00:48.160 Oh, you're going to do the rapping parts of that song.

00:00:50.920 Maybe.

00:00:51.540 I'll be Chester, you be Mike.

00:00:53.540 There we go.

00:00:54.360 That all makes sense.

00:00:55.400 so uh yeah today we are actually going to talk about like the news or some of the news there's

00:01:01.300 not really all that much happening frankly except for one or two uh stories here and there so uh

00:01:06.740 luke is going to tell us about uh reform's uh amazing plan for the illegals i'm going to talk

00:01:13.000 to us about gamergate still never being over it never will be over as long as the menace known

00:01:18.480 as women are around they will always be trying to nag us and harangas over our pastimes and hobbies

00:01:27.040 so that's an interesting one and stelios is going to be talking to us about canons and his love of

00:01:32.500 canons his revisiting of these particular canons they've become something a fixation for you one

00:01:37.280 thing to say to the audience last week we had a very good segment here it was really funny i've

00:01:42.960 i've heard by many people that they really liked it but youtube wasn't the best uh platform to

00:01:50.120 upload it for several reasons so today we are going to give you an update on what happened

00:01:55.400 here and we have many memes and fortunately will be uploaded but yeah i can't can't promise you

00:02:02.020 anything that's all right only that we are gonna have fun so a lot to look forward to also i see

00:02:07.040 in the document it says we have a new chronicles out uh king charles the third oh yeah yeah it's

00:02:12.300 the first time after over 40 episodes of Chronicles where I've actually talked about something that

00:02:17.140 was written in the modern day. So this actually came out in 2014. Mike Bartlett tried to give it

00:02:23.420 a very Shakespearean history style. It's the royal speak in a Shakespearean verse. It's all an iambic

00:02:29.520 pentameter. And it's just, even though it has a lot of liberal priors baked into it, it's asking

00:02:35.240 very interesting questions about what does a modern monarchy mean in a liberal Western democracy

00:02:41.160 and whether or not that settlement is destined to endure.

00:02:46.180 And you also told me that it imagines a much more based King Charles

00:02:49.700 than the one that we actually got, which we can dream.

00:02:53.540 We can dream.

00:02:54.240 But with that, tell us all about...

00:02:56.380 What's this doing here?

00:02:59.540 Tell us all about Reform's new policy on illegals.

00:03:03.440 Yeah, okay then.

00:03:04.260 So, right, a few days ago, Reform announced this new policy on the question of where to put all of the illegals.

00:03:15.300 And this is a question, obviously, that both Restore and Reform are going to have to answer,

00:03:21.220 given that they're the only parties that actually seem to at least be providing some sort of policy outline

00:03:27.280 for the fact that actually these people shouldn't be in our country and do need to be removed.

00:03:31.940 I would be remiss not to mention the fact that reform themselves seem to have been begrudgingly dragged to this position, both by the Trump administration, from what it sounds like, because Donald Trump and many of his inner circle were very confused about Nigel Farage's reluctance to just grapple with this question.

00:03:51.260 But obviously, because of the current state of Britain and just the sheer number of illegals that have been allowed in at this point, it's a question that any serious person does need to have an answer to.

00:04:02.640 And so though I personally don't agree with the policy as outlined here by reform, you know what?

00:04:10.600 In fairness, I'm at least glad that we're having the conversation about it, because at least it's forcing us all to have that conversation and try and come to some sense of practical consensus.

00:04:21.260 on what the best way to do this is. Now to go through it, so Zia Yusuf a few days ago outlined

00:04:27.660 and I'll just read from it, says today we announce a new policy. In order to deport all illegal

00:04:33.100 immigrants in Britain, reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time. True. Migrants will

00:04:39.020 not be able to leave these detention centres and each will be held there a couple of weeks before

00:04:43.840 being deported. So here's our promise. A reformed government will not put any migration detention

00:04:50.160 facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP, nor will it put them where Reform controls a

00:04:57.200 council. And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise green-controlled parliamentary

00:05:02.680 constituencies and green-controlled councils to locate the detention centres. Put simply,

00:05:10.000 if you vote in a Reform council or a Reform MP, we guarantee that you will not have these

00:05:15.520 detention centres near to you. If you vote green, there's a good chance that you will.

00:05:21.180 And basically they're saying that this is an important exercise in democratic consent. Basically,

00:05:25.700 those who majoritively within their constituencies vote for the ideology of open borders,

00:05:32.620 they are going to get what, in theory, they are voting for. And those that don't will be keeping

00:05:38.500 them as far away as possible. Now, I had some tweets about this a few days ago, and I actually

00:05:45.340 got um i openly admit a fair bit of pushback not just from people who welcome to the club yeah

00:05:52.280 not just people who are reformed stands but also people who are on our position as well and who

00:05:58.820 obviously report restore and so i want to tackle this in good faith because it is something that

00:06:04.800 is clearly dividing people and i hope that i can explain some of the reasons why i think that this

00:06:10.700 is not um not cohesive it doesn't advance our interests in any way and i think that actually

00:06:17.900 when we look at it it would be very disruptive and make the job of deporting the illegals harder

00:06:24.700 not easier well just to add my own thoughts before you explain yours um i mean just from a surface

00:06:31.960 level read of this looking at it obviously i've heard that this was the thing that reform had

00:06:36.480 announced but i'm just looking at this statement i mean more than anything it just comes across

00:06:40.520 like a stunt policy this is something to generate headlines we're going to do something shocking and

00:06:46.020 divisive and something that will be red meat for our voters because we're going to throw this out

00:06:52.060 because oh won't it be funny this sounds like something that you're at your pub with your

00:06:56.960 mates and you're drinking and you're coming up with like joke policy ideas what if we put all

00:07:01.060 the migrants in the green councils when really what you should be thinking about what is going

00:07:05.420 to be most cost effective what is going to be most practical where is it going to be best to

00:07:10.160 put these places for like centralizing purposes to make sure that they're as close to exit routes

00:07:16.440 as possible and to make it as convenient whereas what are the transport links these are the things

00:07:20.880 that you need to be thinking about not necessarily just like let's let's come across as really

00:07:26.060 childish vindictive and spiteful against our political enemies i can understand the temptation

00:07:32.200 but if you're trying to come across like a mature political party this is not the way to do it it

00:07:38.160 might have been a tit-for-tat retaliation to someone like Zach Polanski coming out and saying

00:07:42.560 if we're in power we need to create a politics that has no room for the right wing so perhaps

00:07:49.120 it was that well you've threatened us we've threatened you I don't think tit-for-tat is

00:07:54.140 always a good thing and when people say that well this is about friend enemy people misunderstand

00:07:59.240 Carl Schmitt I feel that people have not actually read Carl Schmitt and have instead

00:08:05.080 read a mangled interpretation on some twitter thread that they read three years ago and are

00:08:09.920 misremembering right now what carl schmidt speaks about the friend enemy distinction of politics is

00:08:14.940 that if everything comes down purely to the friend enemy distinction within a state that is when the

00:08:21.480 state authority has broken down and that the practice and that politics and society itself

00:08:27.380 have reached a no like like have reached a boiling point yeah it's the bad outcome if

00:08:33.400 everything just becomes friend enemy it's the fundamental distinction but if everything just

00:08:38.460 comes down to that fundamental distinction is viewed through that fundamental distinction

00:08:42.400 uh then the state has lost all of its authority to unite people so this is this is kind of like

00:08:48.000 the bad end point of political discourse that we've reached right now perhaps some would say

00:08:52.860 it's inevitable i i'm not going to celebrate it but even if it was inevitable i still don't think

00:08:58.440 that escalation is the way to go forward. But there is an interesting point here as well,

00:09:04.120 that just in terms of the general change of the political landscape. So in this recent poll here,

00:09:09.980 we can see the Reform UK are on 25% of the vote share as it currently stands, roughly. And you

00:09:17.040 can see the Greens down there as the fourth largest party on 15. Now, one of the things that

00:09:22.220 I find interesting about this is the fact that Reform have gone straight for just having the

00:09:27.100 dialectic and having the dialogue right they're not talking to Labour anymore they're not talking

00:09:31.880 to the Conservatives what this has become is a conversation between the two ascendant parties

00:09:36.960 and it's going to be very um sort of amusing and frustrating I suppose when we do get closer to

00:09:43.820 the general election and because the current the Labour Party and the Tories are as it stands right

00:09:50.840 now even though they're about to enter you know an extinction event they're going to be as the

00:09:55.740 two major parties put on the pedestal to have the leaders debate and everything even when it's

00:10:00.920 obvious that very little of the country actually cares what they have to say and they are free

00:10:06.040 falling in real time well if gorton and denton is anything to go by it will be in the next election

00:10:11.420 greens versus reform labor hanging on by a thread but a lot of its native constituents

00:10:17.760 kind of splitting off between green and reform obviously the islamic vote within labor that's

00:10:23.380 been a dead set for years is splitting off to the greens the more white working class vote within

00:10:29.580 labor seem to be edging towards reform rather than the greens themselves although that is

00:10:35.200 obviously dependent on age demographics conservatives not even really in the conversation

00:10:39.940 no not at all um and so another just point to add is that we can see here that restore britain

00:10:45.880 are currently on four percent according to this poll though i will just say that this is once again

00:10:50.420 than being unprompted. And so it's not. And we've seen that when they are actually prompted,

00:10:56.240 they can rise as high as eight or nine. So there is an argument going around that actually

00:11:01.180 reform have played a very, very clever hand here, because actually what they have done by putting

00:11:06.360 forward this policy is they have exposed the hypocrisy of the left. Now, as you can see here,

00:11:12.420 Jeremy Corbyn is one such leftist who took this bait. When he says reform want to round up

00:11:16.900 migrants and detain them indefinitely, which, again, is not what they said. They said for a

00:11:22.700 few weeks, and even I'm going to be charitable with them on that. The thing is, they don't want

00:11:28.020 them to vote. It's like, no, the point is that they do, Jeremy. I appreciate the framing that

00:11:33.600 reform are going for here. And again, so yes, absolutely, all of the leftists have taken this

00:11:38.860 and just gone, whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on, not in our neighborhoods and everything. It's like,

00:11:43.520 yeah but it's not revealing anything new really like oh the left are hypocrites yeah we know that

00:11:50.000 we understand that videos of those people going around refugees welcome marches for years saying

00:11:55.220 how many are you taking to your living room where they all go oh no i've not got any room i've seen

00:11:59.720 this for years i don't think it's about the cell phone it's about owning the left and say hey you're

00:12:06.400 hypocrites. So let me just say what I think about this. I think that that's just a particular policy.

00:12:14.720 What remains to be seen is how this policy is going to be integrated into a larger plan. Because

00:12:20.760 we have spoken about this before. It's just, this is happening instead of deportation.

00:12:27.060 That's one of the things. And there's a question of, is this going to happen indefinitely?

00:12:32.900 Is this just going to be like that?

00:12:34.600 And they aren't going to move forward with deportations.

00:12:38.380 He doesn't specify.

00:12:42.260 I'd imagine the detention centres are to hold them

00:12:44.880 prior to their immediate deportation.

00:12:47.460 Yes, but you also don't know if they're actually going to do it.

00:12:51.020 But if that is...

00:12:52.460 For some reason, they may last minute.

00:12:55.280 I mean, it's one thing to say this

00:12:56.880 and to suggest that they are going to do it heavily,

00:13:00.240 and it's quite another thing for them to do it.

00:13:01.840 there's a gap there. And the other bit is that there could be another bit, there could be another

00:13:07.380 way to integrate this policy into a larger plan. And it could be just, if they're going to do this,

00:13:13.020 just like you said, this is the immediate policy to be undertaken right before illegals get

00:13:22.640 deported. To which I must say on this, I don't think it's that senseless. Why? Because it isn't

00:13:29.440 about sticking it to the left. It's about saying, well, listen, this can't happen in a second. It

00:13:35.200 can't happen with a Thanos snap. Until it happens, this is the necessary step that has to be taken

00:13:43.180 for that to happen. And this necessary step will cause disruption to people's lives. So

00:13:52.280 if it is to cause disruption to people's lives, do we choose to cause more disruption

00:13:58.380 as a party from their perspective, to cause more disruption to people who voted for us

00:14:05.780 or to people who express that they want this to happen.

00:14:10.500 There absolutely are issues to be taken into account, just like you mentioned before,

00:14:15.540 efficiency, cost efficiency.

00:14:18.320 Also, when you have the councils against you, it's definitely going to be more disruptive

00:14:23.300 of it.

00:14:23.880 But what I want to say is here, I think that we have to see how this is going to be integrated in a larger plan of action.

00:14:32.460 Again, a lot of what you brought up there is perfectly right.

00:14:35.800 And the point of them being detention centers is that they are supposed to be detained, kept within the facilities and then in an orderly way shipped off.

00:14:45.160 we assume given what we know about the um the policy as stated right now at which point again

00:14:51.400 it brings it back to this just feels like a weird stunt policy to i mean to me because it comes

00:14:58.240 across like it's trying to be a it comes across like it's trying to be a threat like you voted

00:15:04.160 for this greens so now you get what's coming to you but all it actually ends up being is just a

00:15:09.400 facility is used where you don't actually see any of the people it's just kind of in your council

00:15:14.540 area and then they're shipped off so if it works as intended these people won't even notice in the

00:15:20.560 first place which raises the question why bring it up but the the problem is as well actually what

00:15:26.840 you're doing is you're um because even though we're more sensible than this you know and whether

00:15:32.500 you're in favor of voting for reform or you're in favor of voting restored the fact of the matter is

00:15:37.660 that there are going to be some very very impassioned leftists you know and many of them

00:15:42.960 from the Green Party, who think that whether or not Nigel Farage becomes Prime Minister or Rupert

00:15:48.600 Lowe, it is basically going to be as if Oswald Mosley just became Prime Minister, right? They

00:15:55.080 are going to behave like that. They are going to do that. And so I actually think that it actually

00:16:01.160 makes less sense to put them into the Green constituencies. Because let's not forget as well,

00:16:07.080 Most of those, like Bristol, Brighton, it'll be parts of London as well, Bradford, many of the cities could go green.

00:16:16.820 And if you're putting all of these detention centres in the middle of the cities, then there is a lot of avenues for the Greens to do what they see as taking the fight, being the revolution, taking it to them, and saving these poor, helpless, defenceless migrants who never did anything wrong and are all just asylums.

00:16:34.960 So you could potentially see moronic vigilante action.

00:16:37.840 You're going to see them blocking roads.

00:16:39.520 You're going to see them trying to break them out of the centres.

00:16:42.160 There's no knowing how far these people will go

00:16:45.800 when they're actually put into this corner.

00:16:49.180 And so even though it would, as reform themselves say,

00:16:53.400 ideally only be a few weeks, it's like, yeah, but it wouldn't

00:16:58.240 if the left organise and consolidate together

00:17:02.400 and actually try and hamstring the entire process.

00:17:06.440 But from the perspective of a statesman, you don't succumb to blackmail.

00:17:10.960 So from the perspective of a statesman, the way you should think is,

00:17:14.180 well, they will make the threat of retaliation and organization.

00:17:20.060 Well, yeah, but you are the state.

00:17:22.000 You have the police.

00:17:24.240 You're going to use the police in order to do your job.

00:17:28.560 and if they're going to disrupt and be unlawful you are going to yes enforce the law but this

00:17:36.900 comes down to no all i want to say this pardon me is just that many people are too excessively

00:17:42.820 afraid of well what if the left isn't going to be is going to retaliate well by by saying

00:17:49.620 because the left is going to retaliate therefore we do nothing it's like succumbing to the blackmail

00:17:54.960 but my larger point um when it comes to the left in all of this as well is that actually as this

00:18:02.100 post points out here it's like oh well it's democracy you're just basically you're going

00:18:05.440 to give the greens what they want and then they're going to give reform what they want it's like i

00:18:08.660 don't want to give the greens what they want what i want is for the greens to have to live in a safe

00:18:15.640 homogenous prosperous nation right that's what i want i want them to get the thing that they

00:18:21.700 actually dread and that all of us are working towards you want that you want that thing where

00:18:25.780 they step outside and the the countryside's not being paved over ironically for the greens

00:18:29.980 um and everybody is english and getting along with one another and you just see them what

00:18:34.920 wailing in agony at the horror of it all just like oh the horror it's safe and everyone's like

00:18:41.760 merry i went to my local indian and it was run by englishmen for the sake of time i will just

00:18:48.040 say as well that i have seen that before it's an interesting site uh so like with ben leo here he

00:18:54.820 says well it's amazing how the word detention is being lost on so many people i.e they will be

00:18:59.880 detained and not able to leave i'd say for reasons of my own i think that the left will try and break

00:19:06.000 these people out and also as well if they're in the cities it means that they're going to find it

00:19:10.720 much easier to hide than if they're just running around some scottish island right trying to look

00:19:15.940 for a dock um but the other point as well is that when you get people like matt goodwin coming out

00:19:20.700 and saying well vote green get illegal migration detention centers in your area if you want open

00:19:26.120 borders you can now live with the consequences what consequences yeah but there that that's

00:19:31.680 where ben leo should talk about the detention if they are going to be detained they aren't going

00:19:36.420 to cause what they are causing in other non-green areas because they are going to be detained yeah

00:19:43.180 that's the thing it comes across like a threat yes but at the same time if like

00:19:47.660 schrodinger's threat yeah matt goodwin even says you could live with the consequences and the

00:19:52.320 consequence if everything goes right will just be that um presumably a large facility in your area

00:19:59.260 will be used temporarily to hold migrants before they're deported and then nothing bad will happen

00:20:05.780 as a so again the whole thing to me just comes across like it's trying to grab headlines for

00:20:11.020 the sake of it i mean there's a bit of a the old dennis and always sunny aspect to it to me it's

00:20:15.700 like that you know they're not really in any danger or it isn't it's you could also see it

00:20:22.940 though as not necessarily a message to greens but a message to prospective reform voters is vote for

00:20:29.980 us in order for this whatever to whatever extent it is a disruption doesn't happen in your county

00:20:37.840 And so just to wrap up, because I'm sensitive of time, now obviously I'm not going to put a great deal of stock in YouGov polls, but given that it's some of what little data that we actually have on the subject so far, it is interesting to see that when it says, do you think it's acceptable or unacceptable for a government to base decisions that affect individual constituencies on which party people in those constituencies voted for at the general election?

00:21:06.580 Now, aside from the fact that actually more seem to be, you know, fewer people seem to be disposed to it than indisposed, the fact that don't know is the highest part of all of this really speaks to something here.

00:21:21.420 And I think that this is – I do disagree, Stelios. I think that there is a large part of this which is baked into the idea of wanting to see the left get something that people innately feel that they deserve, right?

00:21:36.920 And that is the underlying set of you have these people in your communities. But the thing is, we know what these men are like. We are truthful about the character of the men that come across our shores, and we don't want them here.

00:21:49.740 And I worry that if we put them into these constituencies where people are naive to the danger that's possessed, then it's going to result in far more harm than good.

00:22:00.420 And another thing as well is that I had one of the things that I was trying to communicate when I posted about it at the beginning of this week was I was saying the fact that I don't want to fight the left's hatred with my own hatred because I actually don't hate the Green Party, the British Green Party members.

00:22:20.000 I don't hate them. I pity them. I pity what they've become. I pity the fact that the idea of a sense of purpose, of common people, commonplace, all of this, that just has given people, tribes, nations meaning for time immemorial, just eludes them, that they cannot understand that sense of settledness.

00:22:45.460 And the other point as well is that we still have to live with these people, right? Even though all of the illegals will go. Once you deport the illegals, as I hope that either party would do, that really weakens the Green Party because a large part of their platform is built on a ridiculous, unreasonable amount of charity towards foreigners.

00:23:09.580 and once you break up those client groups that the greens are trying to target around and once

00:23:15.920 you basically take that off the table as a political weapon then you don't need to worry

00:23:20.620 about the greens anymore well similarly you would it wouldn't just be the illegals i forget who made

00:23:26.380 the point it might have been morgoth or something um somebody has been consistently making the point

00:23:30.980 that when people say do you want to deport the illegals and they say yes and that's what they're

00:23:36.400 voting for reform for a lot of people are not thinking that illegals are as small of number

00:23:43.460 as they are of the overall migration coming to the uk a lot of people think that everybody in

00:23:49.420 their neighborhood who is foreign is illegal in one way or another whereas it's actually

00:23:54.080 uh under a based regime they would be um um it's actually legal migration that as we've been

00:24:01.880 talking about for ages has been the prime mover of demographic change in this country so they

00:24:07.440 actually think that they're when you say i'm going to deport all the illegals they'll go back to being

00:24:12.140 like a 95 percent english country overnight from doing that but it would it wouldn't it would

00:24:17.340 actually also require a large-scale process of of targeted remigration against people who would

00:24:25.060 otherwise be about to get say for instance indefinite leave to remain right um and so this

00:24:29.880 is that that's something that needs to be addressed as well and that's where i'm a bit sketchy with

00:24:34.520 whether reform would actually um conduct such a policy or not um but the other part and it's the

00:24:40.060 last thing i'll just say is that i don't look it may be misplaced it may be optimistic but i actually

00:24:46.960 don't want to just abandon these green you know actual native british green voters to their worst

00:24:55.180 impulses and excesses. I don't want them to get what they want. As I say, I want them to see that

00:25:00.720 we were right. I want them to actually see the country that we make, realize that it's more

00:25:06.720 peaceful, more prosperous, everyone's getting along better. More green. There's fewer cars on

00:25:14.540 the road, all the rest of it, just the whole package. And a part of it as well is baked into

00:25:19.320 the fact that part of what we stand for on this side of the aisle is against the sort of Blairite

00:25:25.560 vision of British values, right? We actually know that you are British irrespective of what you

00:25:31.200 believe. And so even though these Green Party voters are insane, they are still British.

00:25:39.160 I think you're correct on this, because it's one thing when we're talking about the Green Party,

00:25:45.240 It's one thing to talk about Polanski and Malfin Ali and all those idiots dancing at Trafalgar Square with the strippers.

00:25:54.940 But also, it's lots of young people who just vote green just to stick it to the system because they think.

00:26:01.600 So it's important to keep a door open, I think, as you say.

00:26:06.280 But that said, there is definitely a percentage there that will just not be convinced.

00:26:13.100 I know.

00:26:13.240 And you can show them all the sort of wealth, all the wealth of the world.

00:26:19.680 They're going to tell you, well, yeah, but you are not sharing it

00:26:25.060 with those who you should be sharing it with because British Empire.

00:26:29.880 They can do that.

00:26:30.980 Because there is such a level of ecophobia and cultural self-hatred

00:26:35.220 in many of these people that anything good you show them,

00:26:39.860 they will instantly classify as something bad because you are the bad guy.

00:26:45.680 Well, a lot of those people have, I mean, a lot of those sorts of people, one, are sadly not

00:26:51.200 entirely well in the head. Some of them do genuinely suffer from personality problems,

00:26:56.420 which they throw into the rest of the world. But that's actually a very small minority of them.

00:27:03.660 Most of them will just be projecting the ideology that they've grown up around,

00:27:08.660 that this is something that they have been programmed to believe from a very young age.

00:27:13.540 And we all were completely the opposite, rebel against their parents.

00:27:17.660 Yeah, which we all grew up within this ideology to one extent or another.

00:27:22.760 So I'm not going to fault anybody or blame anybody for believing the thing,

00:27:27.120 like the dominant thing that society told them to as though they were growing up.

00:27:31.880 Well, you can because people can break out of it,

00:27:34.520 but I'm not going to go overboard with it.

00:27:36.640 like ultimately if we were still to get rid of all of the illegals and there were to be some big

00:27:42.680 repatriation of all of the Boris wave and people like that and people began to take

00:27:48.220 cash offers to go back to their homelands and such all those people who were Englishmen who

00:27:54.440 were going to vote Green and going to vote Labour they're still going to be here and we have to live

00:27:58.840 alongside them and so if you want there to be some kind of national renewal there does need to be a

00:28:03.980 larger national reconciliation to go with that. And so just coming across as a little bit childish

00:28:09.860 and a little bit vindictive is not going to help with that. We do really need to start bringing

00:28:14.920 people together in a positive way. No, I don't disagree, but I think that there is a sort of,

00:28:20.440 and I don't mean that in a bad sense. I mean, that's from a practical perspective. I think

00:28:25.280 this is what you should be thinking. Let me get this straight. Theoretically speaking though,

00:28:29.660 I think there is a level of naivety here because many Greens, many Green voters aren't necessarily poor or societies reject.

00:28:39.880 Some may be, but not everyone.

00:28:42.440 Some of them may think already that they have a good standing on British society.

00:28:48.100 It's just that they hate British society.

00:28:50.940 And they may want to say that, well, I'm completely a third worldist now.

00:28:56.360 I think that the main engine of progress is the third world, and I want to reshape, that's what they say, not what I say, they want to reshape British society and Western society for this.

00:29:13.540 And frequently, this is, again, I think this is basically champagne socialism manifesting in a green way.

00:29:21.340 There are always these people, and individually, they may be really well off.

00:29:25.800 Yes. But I would just conclude for the sake of time with the fact that by having a restored Britain government, we would actually be able to just break the power of the Greens anyway.

00:29:36.960 They wouldn't be able to play apologetics for the Pakistani rape gangs anymore and deflect because we'd have deported them.

00:29:43.920 They wouldn't be able to argue on the platform of amnesty for all the illegals because there wouldn't be any.

00:29:49.100 And on and on it goes, right, until, you know, the people who, as Rupert himself has said, those who don't speak English, who don't share a language, who don't want to integrate, right, those are people who are eligible to have their British citizenship revoked, and then they will be deported, right? And so all of this just naturally weakens the Greens anyway. And so anyway, we've spoken more than enough on it for now. It's a whole other segment there, but we'll leave it at that, folks.

00:30:15.560 we've got quite a few rumble rants for that one thank you all for donating jd key jd sorry folks

00:30:22.740 i've not had that much sleep last night j being a father is the most wonderful thing in the world

00:30:27.260 but it's not always relaxing j jdk moody 2029 thoughts from the panel on euphoria season three

00:30:37.860 and march 2026 seeing more russian casualties than both chechen wars combined uh

00:30:45.000 that's i have no thoughts on euphoria season three sorry i will make harry watch it when it

00:30:52.000 comes to euphoria season three i can only say i don't even have thoughts on season one head empty

00:30:57.340 no one home uh season two head empty no one home season one head empty no one home uh when it comes

00:31:04.440 to russia again russia their prevailing war tactic for every war they've ever been involved

00:31:10.580 in is just meat grinder just throw as many men into the meat grinder as possible and maybe the

00:31:16.340 kill bots will reach their kill limit by the end of it honestly i don't think not many people here

00:31:22.660 as far as i'm aware have been paying as much attention to the ukraine war recently just because

00:31:27.480 it seems to have been spinning its wheels for a long time but if there are any important updates

00:31:33.100 please feel free to let us know so that we can report before we start your segment i want to

00:31:37.680 address a comment by dreadnought login on our website he says how are you are you gonna say

00:31:44.160 um that sweden has banned the term islamophobia last week i am planning on doing a segment on it

00:31:50.800 this week yeah okay great thank you sigil stone harry i'm monitoring the situation

00:31:56.440 who's the vampire movie actor joining you today he's terribly unmustachioed i believe

00:32:02.820 he played um one of the generals in the death of stalin and lucius malfoy in the harry potter

00:32:09.200 films um it's great to have you here today thank you just do the zoo coffee it's like you just

00:32:14.220 shaking the medals tom rat 247 the solution as i continue to say is heinleinianism i don't want

00:32:23.940 to own the greens but nor do i think they are worthy of a vote one one thing is i do i do think

00:32:29.240 it kind of takes you on the wrong path if you approach politics from a vindictive approach

00:32:35.740 because it takes your mind off of just the practical matters if you're just going

00:32:41.120 how can i mess with the other guys you're not figuring out it's maga the maga the worst kind

00:32:46.760 of maga politics isn't it where it's like do this to own the libs it's like crush your enemies

00:32:51.660 see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women it's very different

00:32:56.580 I know, it sounds cool when you go Conan about it.

00:32:59.140 When you go Conan, the thing is, we're not meeting the Greens in a field and, like, killing them to death.

00:33:08.060 Yes, that's what killing means.

00:33:10.260 We're engaging in electoral politics.

00:33:11.880 But that's the best in life.

00:33:13.660 Conan, what is best in life?

00:33:16.220 This is true, this is true.

00:33:18.180 Quite right, Mr. White says,

00:33:19.940 This idea is bad, namely if you crap on one side, when, and I think we should say if,

00:33:24.600 they were to get into power they can crap on you reform do not seem to be thinking chess moves

00:33:28.700 afterwards again i'm wondering was this some kind of tit for tat with polanski saying that he would

00:33:33.760 like to basically gulag the right wing in british politics um which i don't think he would have much

00:33:40.460 look with that if he were able to implement his policies because i mean they wouldn't be able to

00:33:45.300 keep the lights on let alone round us all up and eliminate us uh but yeah i wonder if it was tit

00:33:50.840 a tap for that and again if the as much as the uniparty of labor and the conservatives suck and

00:33:58.360 have made this country worse year on year on year for decades now there's there's a greater level of

00:34:05.920 certainty with those two parties knowing that whichever one you vote you're going to get the

00:34:10.380 uniparty right versus the potential of a reform and green escalating political war where they're

00:34:19.780 just like we're gonna gulag all of you yeah well we're gonna unleash rape gangs in your areas

00:34:25.780 yeah well we're literally gonna shoot you yeah and if it just goes up and up and up and up like

00:34:30.720 that that's a different kind of politics that we've not seen in this country for a long time

00:34:35.800 so it might not be something to celebrate exactly let's keep them seething and safe

00:34:40.180 anyway onto something much more important onto the war that will never end that of the war

00:34:49.980 of gamers versus non-gamers in this instance the enemy my friends at home is women now i'm going

00:35:00.740 to start this off with a short disclaimer that being hashtag not all women there are plenty of

00:35:06.660 women out there who enjoy playing video games themselves or have no problem whatsoever with

00:35:12.780 their men playing video games also women who watch us yeah also plenty of women watch us

00:35:18.400 uh what we're talking about here is possibly one of the greatest enemies that mankind has ever

00:35:24.440 faced certainly mankind in the most literal sense man at home trying to relax trying to enjoy

00:35:31.040 himself and that my friends is the nag have we all faced the nag at one point i have just one

00:35:38.600 just one point oh my brother brother stelios yeah go on well no the nagging is just not nice

00:35:46.540 it's also counterproductive because many many lasses tend to think that if they nag they're

00:35:53.800 actually gonna get us motivated it's the exact opposite it's the exact opposite even if you're

00:36:00.440 gonna nag then i'm there's just nothing that's gonna satisfy if you know if you want us to do

00:36:06.160 something for you there needs to be some sense that we're gonna at least at least get at least

00:36:11.340 stop nagging you're gonna be nice to us afterwards if you understand me you're gonna treat me with

00:36:16.160 some respect and polite and politeness nagging just comes across like the only thing at the

00:36:22.400 other end of the nagging once i have fulfilled the nagging tasks is more nagging it's it's og

00:36:28.080 shifting goal posts well as you and i know well from doing a the ancient greek plays together

00:36:35.500 you know even zeus almighty zeus could have his days ruined by nagging it's so true it's so true

00:36:42.180 zeus literally me played by ryan gosling so this story begins with possibly the most um

00:36:50.500 woman-coded post of all time i know this is unpopular but it will always be unattractive

00:36:56.640 for a grown man to play video games now i don't want to i don't want to go like this woman lizzie

00:37:02.700 marback i've never heard of her before it says here christian wife mother and abortion abolitionist

00:37:08.400 so obviously she has a lot of positive things going on in her own life i'm very supportive of

00:37:13.120 all of those things uh but this is where she crosses a line and as you can see from the 10.9

00:37:20.360 million views that this twitter that this tweet has uh has garnered this has somewhat started

00:37:26.000 a storm and uh you're not gonna you're not gonna win ladies you're never gonna win you're never

00:37:31.480 gonna be able to beat halo i'm sorry sorry if i just want to sit down and get an hour or two in

00:37:36.180 at the end of the day i've been productive you and the chief i've done all yeah exactly right

00:37:40.440 you're never gonna be able to stand up to master chief right the elites you ain't got nothing on

00:37:45.520 them some women might be understanding or pretend like they don't care that you spend hours playing

00:37:50.460 but they do again i have to ask the question like what about all the women who actually play video

00:37:54.300 games there are women who do that i mean most of the time it's going to be like stardew valley or

00:37:58.900 animal crossing but they do play i mean to be fair just to be devil's advocate on this and i

00:38:04.780 disagree with her completely you devil stelios go on no but she's saying it will oh you know

00:38:13.500 actually she says actually it will always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games

00:38:20.180 so she may be saying it's okay when they do it oh my god you i think you're right i think you're

00:38:26.600 right she says it's extremely unattractive to women and will never not be just massive broad

00:38:31.940 strokes there gents right this is completely actually i think she wants to keep men down

00:38:38.100 because men she does want to keep the brothers down yeah no bros need to be authentic if they

00:38:45.020 want to play video games they'll play video games yeah well what this is an expression of the law

00:38:49.600 many people have pointed out including uh howling mutant here which is i know i know i know this

00:38:55.780 might be a little difficult to hear but we're not doing it for you the world doesn't revolve around

00:38:59.860 your um intimate parts count dank uh count dankula saying that it's never just video games they have

00:39:06.840 a problem with you having literally any hobby that you spend time on and the real reason they

00:39:10.820 hate this is simple it's just because you don't have time that isn't dedicated to them and again

00:39:14.960 this isn't all women but this is a significant enough subsection of a type of woman who I've

00:39:22.200 described before stops existing when you're not paying attention to her this is like the consensus

00:39:27.600 machine type woman who like just needs to know that she exists in a social setting and has the

00:39:35.320 approval of that social setting or else she doesn't feel like she's there anymore and this

00:39:41.140 this can exist in the household as well which is that the social setting is you and if you're not

00:39:46.760 sat next to her paying full attention to her boring true crime documentaries well then she

00:39:53.000 might not even exist at all she doesn't know how is she supposed to know without something to feed

00:39:56.900 back her own existence uh this is a conundrum uh that many have tried to solve the ancient greeks

00:40:04.060 tried to solve no one ever failed no no one ever will but the brothers are not even not even

00:40:10.020 germans have been allowed to you know this to make it work the germans are efficiency machines

00:40:17.640 you know they can be playing video games they can be solving astrophysics astrophysics and

00:40:23.040 equations and such but at the same time you know they're not giving her enough attention

00:40:27.600 and this isn't to say you should play video games in excess everything in moderation my friends if

00:40:32.540 you are playing too many video games and you are completely abandoning social life or even not

00:40:37.480 spending any time with your woman at all you know put the controller down for a moment get some

00:40:41.640 flowers and up the difficulty you've gone this far be the greatest gamer of all time give no

00:40:46.680 ground chance no quarter man you hear me yeah uh this is where this is where of course the simps

00:40:53.320 came out to make sure that uh that um i don't know i'm mate she's married i don't know why

00:41:00.900 you're posting this enormous essay to try and get her attention bro she's married you're not

00:41:09.000 getting any from this all right she's not good i i tried i tried but i got very bored right basically

00:41:17.220 he's trying to over intellectualize this and turn it into a philosophical question and a theological

00:41:22.880 question over whether it's sinful to play video games like in in an abstract manner no

00:41:30.960 how sinful is it to engage in any kind of hobby which is not necessarily productive in terms of

00:41:38.680 producing a material product at the end of it or even some abstraction or even something that's

00:41:45.960 that's untouchable like music like i one of my hobbies is playing guitar and writing music

00:41:50.640 obviously how more or less productive is it to play video games than practice guitar well

00:41:56.940 if i'm in a bad mood and don't have the attention span at the moment to play

00:42:01.260 guitar when i play a video game and it puts me in a better mood and then i can actually play

00:42:06.540 guitar and have a much more productive time with that would you say that the time playing video

00:42:10.520 games was wasted because ultimately it's not about creating things it's not about it's not

00:42:16.060 about producing something it's about me it's just about having some me time you're absolutely

00:42:21.080 correct brother harry and we need to address this i take this very seriously because i don't like

00:42:26.240 people who nag i don't like nagging i hate nagging and the point is not everything has to be

00:42:34.020 productive not every second of the day has to be productive sometimes you just you may work hard

00:42:40.400 and you go back and you watch a stupid movie it doesn't even have to be uh you know giving you

00:42:47.600 something or anything you've been looking forward to the uh scary movie i grew up playing diablo

00:42:52.660 lord of destruction that's how ancient i am that's how much of a giant freaking right now that's how

00:42:58.260 much of a dinosaur i am i was getting necromancer i was destroying everyone oh my just it doesn't

00:43:05.560 matter just it doesn't matter i i needed to chill playing stuff like what was i was playing like the

00:43:11.040 the og crash and crash bandicoot games on the playstation one crash bandicoot 2 in particular

00:43:16.920 i thought was fantastic then the the og jack and dexter that was an amazing game lots of dragon

00:43:23.940 ball budokai games you know all that sort of stuff it helped me to relax yeah but also why does it

00:43:31.220 what do we have to justify every second of our existence yeah but it does also actually help

00:43:35.840 with like reaction time critical thinking thinking on your feet our existence is an act of defiance

00:43:42.100 that's right that's right fellow men brothers of the world unite you know then the sisterhood

00:43:52.020 decided that they were going to start forming ranks and you know getting into defensive positions

00:43:56.640 literally just had this conversation with a friend yesterday sorry but gaming is always going to be

00:44:01.120 juvenile unmasculine lame as a hobby or activity all it says is that you have no problem

00:44:07.260 wasting your life are you a teenager or a man you know you know what um i don't know about

00:44:13.720 megan murphy and i don't want to again i don't know yeah i don't know about her but this kind

00:44:18.940 of mentality it's definitely the mentality of the of the woman who doesn't know how to have fun

00:44:24.380 sometimes we have to be childish not everyone has to be a you know a a very rich um and retired

00:44:33.140 businessman who just never has any sort of any sort of humor and millionaire hybrid horse were

00:44:40.100 just all constantly eating lobsters and spaghetti and never making a joke or something not every man

00:44:46.420 has to be like that exactly and really it's just it's the mentality of the woman who desperately

00:44:51.820 doesn't want you to have fun there there is something really profound i'm gonna say i've

00:44:57.820 heard other people saying by the way it's just they say that when you meet a good match

00:45:03.160 they have to wake up on you three three phases and personality the the child the teenager and

00:45:11.520 the grown and the adult you need all three to be uh woken up by someone for them to be a good match

00:45:18.360 you have to be able to be childish with your partner to be a bit idealistic in a teenage way

00:45:23.320 but also to be to be an adult yeah i'd say that's actually i told you spot on that's

00:45:29.140 it's going to be profound that's quite sweet as well and uh you know if you found somebody like

00:45:35.480 that then you're not going to have this problem because she's going to be absolutely fine with

00:45:40.480 you spending an hour or two here and there playing you've been working so hard this week why don't

00:45:46.300 you go and play battlefront 2 for a while yeah exactly she's gonna be like i don't mind do what

00:45:52.160 you want for a little bit that's absolutely fine and you do get women you get plenty of women like

00:45:56.680 that but it's interesting that it does occasionally tend to be some of these more conservative minded

00:46:01.420 ones who are supposed to be like i'm a trad wife i let the man lead the house but if the man

00:46:07.100 wants to do what he wants for a few hours by himself well that's a big problem and you need

00:46:14.060 to get that through me right now.

00:46:15.700 It's like the weird contradiction

00:46:17.020 where it's like,

00:46:17.700 I'm simultaneously,

00:46:18.460 well, I'm the submissive trad wife,

00:46:20.300 but also I'm the most horrendous nag

00:46:22.560 you've ever met in your life.

00:46:25.280 It's like, figure yourself out.

00:46:27.600 Get your priorities straight there.

00:46:29.660 And she carries,

00:46:30.400 this Megan girl saying that-

00:46:32.220 Oh, she carries on does she?

00:46:33.180 Of course she does.

00:46:34.200 She doubles.

00:46:38.100 But, you know,

00:46:39.080 she addressed the like,

00:46:40.560 oh, is it okay if we do it thing?

00:46:42.720 She says,

00:46:43.020 because people said like like loads of these people watch who are criticizing this watch

00:46:47.300 reality tv all day it's like oh i don't think any woman pretends that watching reality tv is a

00:46:52.220 valuable hobby meanwhile gamers insist it is a valuable hobby that teaches importance

00:46:57.360 wait so is it just is it just that we're trying to justify it to you yeah we should just we should

00:47:02.000 just like do the do the gta thing where it's like i'm playing my video games the girl's in the door

00:47:07.380 and i'm just flipping you off like that should we just do that would you respect it imagine she

00:47:11.320 goes afterwards to binge watch jersey shore and too hot to handle or temptation island these days

00:47:17.580 it's youtube true crime podcasts man that's what it is it's true crime podcasts and you know what

00:47:24.740 ladies if you want to watch that as much as i find it to be a waste of time myself you waste

00:47:29.640 your time if you enjoy it that's okay like we've said you don't have to be productive 24 hours a

00:47:34.960 day this is some like weird expression of like the ultimate protestant work ethic if you're not

00:47:41.580 working 24 7 then you're dishonoring your duty to god no no no i don't i don't agree i don't agree

00:47:49.960 with that and uh then then she just carries on saying like uh here's some better hobbies play

00:47:56.400 an instrument take up jujitsu go hunting go to the gym play a sport learn to fish go hiking build a

00:48:01.620 fix a car build something make something bloody bloody blah do that and still play video games

00:48:06.820 yeah you can you can do all of that and play video games there's no reason it can be one or the other

00:48:11.940 but also i'm sorry to say this type of woman no matter how productive your hobby if it's taking

00:48:19.780 attention away from her she will communicate her displeasure to you in one way or another

00:48:26.580 and that is that is just a fact she looks like she she's attracted to gamers maybe she is maybe

00:48:34.680 this is all she doth protest too much unsurprisingly as ever this might all just be a

00:48:41.440 shit test and she's going like oh no i hope no productive amazing gamers get in touch with my

00:48:49.640 replies over this that'd just be oh the worst thing the worst thing ever but one of the one

00:48:58.240 of the best people to uh to fight back against all of this i found was i found academic agent

00:49:03.580 good old friend of the show aa has been uh quite good on this because he's been talking about how

00:49:08.880 he uh recently cleansed his timeline of everything political didn't want to talk about it didn't want

00:49:14.000 to pay attention to it and just made it a nostalgia refuge for video games and then as soon as he does

00:49:19.460 that the video game discourse gamergate slams back into his life and so he's been he's been

00:49:26.360 quite good on this saying just sensible common sense things you can be successful in every area

00:49:31.140 of life and still play video games this is nonsense when it's talked about why doesn't

00:49:35.720 men watching sport get the same level of vitriolic attack that video games do um that's a that's a

00:49:41.800 good question i would i was about to say maybe it's to do with the fact that they are that they're

00:49:45.880 like games that you play but also sitting on the sofa watching somebody else play a physical game

00:49:53.840 is not it like is all is way less productive and less active as an act as something to do

00:50:00.640 the play video games so it makes no real sense to me uh saying that a respectable is perhaps the

00:50:06.940 most telling word but i'm troubled by someone with such an instrumentalist view of life whereby

00:50:10.920 whereby productivity must be the center of all things sometimes a man just wants to

00:50:15.800 stare into the fire that's right sometimes we have to in some of my favorite past that's right

00:50:21.640 yeah sometimes we can just relax folks just everybody right now just take a moment just

00:50:30.440 go around yourself find your center and your inner peace and a wave of calm and your favorite

00:50:38.040 and then yes pick up your favorite game and start blasting and uh he says and he says in response

00:50:47.800 to people saying that it's unproductive you know it can teach you things this is actually kind of

00:50:52.100 true we don't need to justify it in this way but it is also true saying some games are packed with

00:50:56.620 history like civilization some games require puzzle solving logistics planning knowledge of

00:51:02.360 different material types and he brings up dwarf fortress there for dwarf fortress and can help to

00:51:08.040 promote goal psychology but also just checking out for a bit so you can chill and my friend of the

00:51:13.640 show aiden paladin showed up in the reply saying that uh there are actually scientific studies to

00:51:18.240 back this up that actually women typically massively underscore in tests of station of

00:51:24.300 spatial cognition right they have lower spatial intelligence than men but playing video games for

00:51:31.280 them actually improves their spatial cognition and can reduce the male to female gap so that's

00:51:37.340 there's some empirical evidence for you there of the benefit the argument is play video games

00:51:42.200 ladies to improve your parking yes please please for the love of god and also actually harking back

00:51:50.460 quite a while ago now over three years in 2023 march of 2023 josh and i did a contemplations

00:51:59.040 rest in peace contemplations uh asking the question are video games bad for you now in this

00:52:04.760 we were addressing not only the productivity question the cognitive question but also the

00:52:10.900 moral question where people say going back to like the jack thompson type saying that video games

00:52:16.840 will make you violent they will make you want to go out and murder people rape rampage murder

00:52:24.660 killing and there's no evidence for that whatsoever in fact it seems that video games form

00:52:30.380 a very productive outlet for negative and violent emotions that people may face so they actually do

00:52:36.600 solve a societal purpose there you could argue i think there are two scenarios and i'll tell you

00:52:44.840 at the end what i think is the more well this is the this is the last link i was starting to wind

00:52:50.100 down so when you're not into something you're just not into it you sort of don't get why other

00:52:55.600 people are into it the same thing applies when you know some people are in love and you're not

00:53:00.480 in love with either say how you say why are you just so attracted into them just it makes no sense

00:53:06.280 also with with football you could say why should i watch 22 retards chasing a ball it's if you're

00:53:13.120 not into it that's how i was going to say is that is that is that your feelings on football no i

00:53:19.600 like football but i'm saying that people i'm saying that people people who are people who

00:53:24.360 don't like football think like this the same happens yeah that's exactly how they think

00:53:30.020 but she either isn't into gaming or she really is attracted by gamers which i think is the most

00:53:39.400 probable because it explains the extent to which she goes there is a third option which is that

00:53:45.720 she has gone out with somebody before who she really ended up not liking by the end of the

00:53:51.200 relationship who played too much video games who indulged too much and has then projected that

00:53:57.920 negative experience out or she could just be a massive nag there are a number of solutions here

00:54:03.820 but one solution is not to stop playing video games my friends if you want to game if it's

00:54:10.340 something that you enjoy, if you find it to be a valuable use of your time or just a great way to

00:54:15.900 pass the time and relax, then you should feel no shame in that. These days, men aren't allowed to

00:54:22.160 have anything. We can't have fun. We can't have careers. We can't have futures. We can't have

00:54:27.660 families. We can't have children. We can't do anything because people keep trying to smash us

00:54:34.360 down i say to keep the brothers down they are trying to keep the brothers down steadily us

00:54:40.200 and so we need to take a moment group together and lift ourselves up and if doing so requires

00:54:48.420 that we take a few hours out of the day to sit back relax and play some forge couch co-op with

00:54:55.020 our buddies then god damn it that's what we need to do so there you go folks let's get onto the

00:55:01.760 rumble rants for that one and we had quite samson is uh doing the thumbs up symbol samson approves

00:55:07.640 yeah tom rat says and here we go i hope your wife isn't listening to this right now

00:55:13.080 i hear you harry wife was moaning about the washing i did yesterday i'd not done a specific

00:55:18.540 child's basket i turned up the sea shantying coming from my crew on wind

00:55:23.100 based incredible flavius magnus with a very generous 20 donation thank you gamers

00:55:31.300 still still the most oppressed people in all of mankind's history this true just fact check true

00:55:38.920 reuters have looked into it they've found that it's actually even more true than we previously

00:55:43.840 thought sigil stone 17 you're not a real gamer until you have a favorite flavor of paradox

00:55:49.180 interactive map autism i guess i'm not a real gamer then i'm more into like character action

00:55:55.240 games personally. But, you know, respect to you, brother. Respect to you. You play your paradox

00:56:01.360 interactive. Ocigdor. Stelios and the Greek philosophy earn that pain check. Habsification.

00:56:08.300 Harry explaining how women failed Descartes' assertion. I think, therefore I am. Again,

00:56:12.740 hashtag, not all women, but a significant enough subset of nagging women. Yes. Garvin Ambrose.

00:56:20.520 in minnesota i fish and play a video game of fishing at the same time

00:56:25.180 how is that not the most productive use of your time imaginable there you go i respect it let's

00:56:34.280 get on to the cannons ladies and gentlemen we're gonna talk about a very tragic story

00:56:41.340 we're gonna talk about the glamorous jp morgan executive who's accused of turning married

00:56:46.800 male broker into her office sex slave. Viagra spiking in litany of obscene forced acts that

00:56:53.020 made him cry. So there are very important allegations here. And this is a story that

00:56:58.780 will literally haunt you. It's just bad. I can't say much. And we have updates. We did a segment

00:57:07.720 last week. Check it on our website. And this is a very deep rabbit hole. It's a very deep rabbit

00:57:15.460 hole and there have been new developments in this story that we are going to talk about right so let

00:57:22.940 me refresh your memory or notify you of this story in case you aren't aware of it so it says here a

00:57:32.420 j this is this article is from the 29th of april jp morgan executive allegedly used her power to

00:57:41.320 sexually harassed and abused a junior male employee, dragging him, subjecting him to racial

00:57:46.860 abuse and threatening his career when he refused her advances, according to a lawsuit. Again,

00:57:53.280 allegedly. This is an ongoing investigation, and we have to be very careful with respect to how we

00:57:59.240 are relaying to you these facts and allegations. Lorna Hajdini, 37, an executive director in JP

00:58:08.080 Morgan is accused in the filing of coercing a married banker into non-consensual and humiliating

00:58:18.080 sex acts over months, despite his pleas for her to stop. And this is just very serious.

00:58:25.180 Terrible. Terrible. And as I said last week, it is absolutely the case that men can be

00:58:31.960 the victims of abuse. This is an issue. And we should keep an open mind, including about this

00:58:40.320 case, because you never know. These are allegations and both sides can be guilty or

00:58:47.640 either side can be guilty or you never know. It's just a very deep rabbit hole. But let me just

00:58:53.500 refresh your memory according to this lawsuit filed at that time by an anonymous john doe

00:59:02.180 alleged that she told him do you want to get promoted at year end or not

00:59:11.400 if you do if you don't do as i say you're not going to get promoted and there was a particular

00:59:18.600 line there that shows the extent of the abuse. He is described as Asian in this case. And she said,

00:59:30.340 where is it? Because she talked about his wife. Yes. So allegedly she removed her shirt,

00:59:37.900 began fondling her breasts and racially insulted John Doe's wife, remarking,

00:59:42.780 as she said allegedly i bet your little asian fish head wife doesn't have these cannons

00:59:49.140 that's what the complaint uh reads and he was afraid that she was going to act upon her on her

00:59:55.880 threats and he succumbed to the sexual demands it was obviously a very vulnerable angle of attack

01:00:05.540 so we have we have new elements of the story technology is failing us yet again

01:00:11.940 does mine work oh okay so um they found john doe he's he's john doe in fact his name is not called

01:00:22.320 john doe he is chirayurana and uh several people have described an uncanny resemblance to woody

01:00:31.000 from toy story yeah i also think it's kind of like an indian hp lovecraft yeah he looks like both to

01:00:37.840 be fair. I don't know how horrified Lovecraft would be. Even Lovecraft couldn't have comprehended it.

01:00:45.300 That's a horror beyond his imagination. Yes, this is Lorna Hajdini. This is Chirayu Rana.

01:00:52.840 He made the allegations. And last week, some people have described it as the best week on X.

01:01:03.320 uh they many are saying this many are saying this is he in the room with us right now yes

01:01:09.520 right we will show you this we will talk about the memes that resulted after in the the meme

01:01:17.800 aftermath but um yes so this is a terrible story so he he was found and he retracted the lawsuit

01:01:28.280 for corrections oh okay he was tenacious and he corrected the lawsuit and doubled down

01:01:38.460 yeah so he retracted this is this is the man and this is the woman and this is after he refused

01:01:47.340 to cooperate with internal investigations well here is something that we have to mention

01:01:53.880 people from jp morgan said instantly that all these allegations are unfounded but the question

01:02:01.420 is part of the allegations were that she roofied him did they do blood tests how could they have

01:02:09.680 known how thorough an investigation did they order there in jp morgan headquarters so this

01:02:17.940 could be conspiracy could they try to keep the brother down could they try to keep the brother

01:02:25.060 down right so um the lawsuit was refiled and he's doubling down and the new lawsuit includes

01:02:34.640 more signed affirmations and several witnesses who allegedly saw things and they say here that

01:02:44.580 One witness says he saw Lorna Hajdini kissing Rana's neck on the street.

01:02:51.100 Okay.

01:02:51.820 Okay.

01:02:54.920 All right.

01:02:55.900 So.

01:02:56.560 Another female witness saw them entering her building with Lorna saying that she described him as a brownie and that she owns him.

01:03:09.640 Which, you know, I mean, just for those of you who aren't history buffs, we don't really do that anymore.

01:03:14.580 yes

01:03:15.240 that's what she said there

01:03:18.800 and now she

01:03:21.160 there are new allegations about

01:03:22.940 a threesome

01:03:25.200 invitation

01:03:26.080 so this is one of the new allegations

01:03:28.940 yes

01:03:29.900 that has come from the corrections

01:03:31.640 yes

01:03:33.140 how did you miss this out the first time

01:03:36.000 you'd think this would all be really important

01:03:37.720 especially finding these witnesses

01:03:39.240 to like verify it all

01:03:41.560 like this is a

01:03:42.400 this is a very important case Stelios where was this the first time did he forget he had witnesses

01:03:51.860 there well the other person in the three and maybe maybe he was thinking that as witnesses

01:03:59.200 they were going to be they were going to not be comfortable with them having to testify

01:04:06.440 And there's an obvious reply to this. Well, why did you just not mention that she tried to do

01:04:14.320 this respectively? He does have very graphic details that I can't mention because of platform

01:04:21.160 reasons, but they are all described here in media in the articles on Daily Mail and New York Post.

01:04:30.940 And here there are several allegations about the threesome.

01:04:34.940 They're saying that she was definitely inviting him to a threesome.

01:04:39.180 He was saying, no, she was inviting other people to the threesome.

01:04:44.200 I mean, technically, if it's more than three, it's, yeah, yeah.

01:04:49.640 So this is the man who alleges that this happened.

01:04:53.600 Right. So the officers there at J.P. Morgan are saying all these are made up. Lorna Hajdini replies that all these are made up and that he has a history of being a liar. And they found that he basically defrauded J.P. Morgan. He said that his father was dead to get bereavement leave, that he is alive and kicking.

01:05:21.500 and spoke to the post this weekend yeah so here is his father he's alive and good thing here is

01:05:29.940 ron desantis i'm related to the story yes thank you your post yeah here yeah um here is this man

01:05:40.580 shirai urana i presume this is his mother yeah and this is his father so very proud of the son

01:05:46.880 He pretended that his father was dead

01:05:50.880 In order to take some time off to do his lawsuit

01:05:56.140 Do you think there was maybe a conversation beforehand there as well?

01:06:00.880 It wasn't like a springing, like just, oh, I'm waking up

01:06:02.980 You've got to get some time off, I'll say my dad's dead

01:06:05.860 Do you think it was like, dad, can you pretend, can you go along?

01:06:10.840 Can you stage a funeral for me?

01:06:12.100 Father, could you fake your own death for me?

01:06:14.420 this needs to look real yes right so what happened here was that when his face appeared

01:06:25.620 even before this um article yes and and discourse about him pretending that his father was dead

01:06:34.140 to get the bereavement leave his face circulated the internet and everyone immediately went right

01:06:40.840 he's lying but we don't know this we don't know this is an ongoing investigation presumptuous

01:06:47.480 this is an ongoing investigation and it's not unheard of that women have tried to

01:06:54.160 sexually abuse men not in the sense of physical abuse but in the sense of threats saying i'm

01:07:02.240 going to destroy your career unless you succumb to my charms of course yes not unheard of it's

01:07:08.840 not unheard of and especially i mean i'm not i don't i wouldn't say that necessarily about him

01:07:14.160 i wouldn't say that but especially when you are when you're an attractive man you do have women

01:07:19.520 who really want to go after you and uh you know they they dislike if you're married or

01:07:26.420 or if you're in a relationship it has happened yeah right but so now let's talk about the meme

01:07:33.940 aftermath before because that was the fun part unrelated to the story irrespective of what has

01:07:39.980 happened or not let us look at new a new bunch of memes because this was this made internet history

01:07:47.920 a lot of people seem very eager to uh to sign up for jp morgan after this story broke yes so we did

01:07:55.920 we did the previous uh round of memes in the previous segment of last of last uh yeah last

01:08:03.140 week last week now i'm gonna show you um new ones except for this one which i saw last time i really

01:08:09.920 like it it's pepper with a suit says i'm ready for my jp morgan performance review from a manager

01:08:16.180 with great cannons here we have the 50 shades of jp morgan teaser looking wild because it doesn't

01:08:26.900 It does read like a very low-effort fantasy.

01:08:31.440 It really does, doesn't it?

01:08:32.920 It just does.

01:08:35.100 Do you think there's anything to that?

01:08:37.800 What do you mean?

01:08:38.460 The fact that it sounds like a completely made-up fantasy.

01:08:41.760 I think it definitely does.

01:08:43.220 I don't know about it, but I'd say...

01:08:45.580 Not that we're making any inferences or conclusions from it.

01:08:48.860 No inference or conclusion, but I think...

01:08:51.780 Clearly, she was watching far too much internet pornography.

01:08:56.900 which put all of these ideas in her head yeah but from my perspective this looks like a very

01:09:02.500 lazy script of a steamy show from a man i mean the irony would be you know the story itself

01:09:10.340 sounds like a lazy script a man gets fired for potentially defrauding his company and then

01:09:16.420 immediately fires off a bunch of incredible uh impossible to believe allegations about the boss

01:09:22.320 who fired him and fix his own father's death for good measure yeah not that i would ever say that

01:09:27.060 that's what's actually happened here mrs business executive she'll see you now they have the

01:09:34.140 jp morgan contract now she's gonna fly him with a helicopter singing love me like you do

01:09:42.240 love love love me like you do you like the scenes in austin powers where he's trying to woo the

01:09:48.200 women but flipped like that with a fembot she's gonna come for the business review you know

01:09:54.800 and just do the somebody start firing somebody needs to do that meme if they haven't already

01:10:00.940 me showing up to my my job interview at jp morgan yeah they they have this here again it's obviously

01:10:07.580 i i like when memes intersect oh this is this is your favorite this is my absolute favorite

01:10:13.000 hear from the the vince mcmahon meme obviously just muted

01:10:22.040 yeah my first day working at jp morgan let's just

01:10:30.520 this just makes history just this just one of the funniest memes and when

01:10:38.920 we can show it right say what a madman vince mcmahon is yeah

01:10:43.000 He was the guy running this show

01:10:45.180 And writing

01:10:46.080 Oh god

01:10:49.620 He's just an artilleryman

01:10:51.900 Having to figure out the cannons

01:10:54.000 And having to explain it to his wife

01:10:56.100 Constantly as well

01:10:57.140 Listen, it's for the story

01:10:58.620 It needs to happen, it's for the story

01:11:01.320 There's another meme by Lucas Gage

01:11:04.260 Says you work at J.P. Morgan

01:11:06.020 Get called into Lorna Hasdini's office

01:11:08.440 And notice something is very odd

01:11:11.080 i i can't stop laughing when i know i know i i said this to me it was like best lucas gauge post

01:11:21.040 but it is hilarious because it's the best one on purpose right the best one by accident was the

01:11:29.800 jews know your weakness and they'll give it to you and everybody was like my weakness is women

01:11:33.740 and money, Netanyahu. I hear you right now, brother. It's on his way.

01:11:40.780 Shalom, BB. My weakness is women.

01:11:46.060 My weakness is cannons.

01:11:47.260 Right. So see how it feels to work at JP Morgan lately.

01:11:52.700 By the way, to tell people who don't understand this meme, if you read the Daily Mail article,

01:11:59.580 You will understand the allegations he made

01:12:02.480 and see how this ties into it.

01:12:04.320 Hear how it feels lately.

01:12:06.360 I mean, this sort of environment

01:12:08.240 would definitely not contribute to be concentrated.

01:12:12.360 You wouldn't get a lot of work done.

01:12:14.080 Yeah, you wouldn't get a lot of work done

01:12:16.420 because you'd be like Vince McMahon.

01:12:22.100 Okay, Marco Rubio realising he's a junior.

01:12:27.620 Oh my God.

01:12:29.580 jp morgan it's like you know there was also the other me where they were saying that they're

01:12:35.040 turning interns like the gimp from paul fiction because allegedly the allegation was that she

01:12:41.240 tried to be oh my god this is by luca he geiger capitals has just got accepted for a junior

01:12:50.460 position on the leverage finance team at jp morgan and this i mean it was excellent journey

01:12:56.380 Yeah. Brother Luca says here, this might be the funniest day I've ever had on this app. It was really funny. And we really had time.

01:13:06.540 Yeah. I spent an above average amount of time on X that day. I really did.

01:13:11.200 It wasn't that. It was just for two days. Honestly, I felt completely transcending politics. I just wasn't into it. Just all there is is cannons.

01:13:22.940 There's 50 shades of JP Morgan, because allegedly he is married and, and the business executive

01:13:43.100 allegedly wanted to get him. She really liked to be the, you know, the other in the relationship.

01:13:49.340 I really can't stress enough just how allegedly she did this.

01:13:53.640 Yes.

01:13:54.880 Not that it's unheard of that such a thing could happen.

01:13:58.460 Yes.

01:13:59.480 It says here, Your Honour, I was just showing him my big natural cannons.

01:14:07.300 Can you imagine if this...

01:14:08.560 If she didn't turn up to call her drugs like that.

01:14:10.620 I was going to say, could you imagine if the lawsuit keeps going

01:14:14.120 and the allegations start to mount up and mount up

01:14:16.920 and they get more and more outlandish,

01:14:19.340 and then he doesn't back down.

01:14:21.060 So this ends up having to go to...

01:14:22.400 And it doesn't get settled, so it goes to court.

01:14:24.460 But I will say, though,

01:14:25.740 if the allegations are proven true in court,

01:14:29.740 I think the internet will flip on a second,

01:14:32.840 and this guy will be instantly turned into a legend.

01:14:37.260 You know, if it happens.

01:14:39.200 If it happens.

01:14:39.700 So here's the thing, right?

01:14:41.020 On every level, he seems to just be a guy

01:14:43.800 who likes to make stuff up

01:14:46.060 and is not short of a scam, you know,

01:14:48.840 in his life however allegedly not that that's necessarily what happened yes however there seems

01:14:55.180 to have been i mean it's just created such comedy that in a really strange way both people involved

01:15:02.380 in this story are kind of come out the other side of it just kind of being like just fair play

01:15:07.560 everyone involved in this just it says also here removes her shirt and starts fondling her breasts

01:15:14.540 allegedly stop crying pepe pepe's crying here you know right here we have this oh this is from

01:15:22.040 america from american cycle it's meanwhile at jv morgan let's see paul allen's in allegations

01:15:29.820 yeah and here people will know this is fish head and no cannons fish head and no cannon

01:15:36.040 i've never heard fish head before is that like some kind of like that's what allegedly that's

01:15:42.840 what she allegedly said no no i know i don't have a problem with fish but where does that even come

01:15:49.340 from i've never heard no idea use that insult before you see for me this was just like you

01:15:55.660 know the cherry on top it's the fact that i'm i'm going to nuke my entire career if if it is

01:16:01.080 proves to be full but just for good measure i'm gonna let it known that i made up this thing

01:16:06.300 about what my wife was called as well well it could be the case it could be the case that this

01:16:12.760 it could be could be not saying it is yeah it could be the case that he's basically um trying

01:16:20.360 to create an excuse for his wife's years it's like oh she made me do this maybe yeah oh yeah

01:16:29.820 maybe i'll tell you what though

01:16:32.860 fish head it does it what it sounds like to me it sounds like an in like

01:16:40.720 an inter-asian ethnic slur maybe maybe that was that's what like something obviously i don't

01:16:48.720 condone this well hajdini knows all of them i was gonna say

01:16:51.560 yeah there's another mean here here um allegedly she is the hot woman that attracts

01:17:03.840 the people's attention and now here best dressed at the met gala

01:17:09.480 oh my goodness and that's it i think i think basically this story has already made internet

01:17:19.660 history oh yeah yeah no matter which way it ends no matter which way it ends and i'm i'm sure we

01:17:27.080 will know uh relatively soonish we will find out the truth yeah the truth has to be revealed

01:17:33.880 yeah it has to be revealed people people deserve to know people want answers

01:17:39.180 and uh more people who want answers are those in our rumble rants shall we go through those

01:17:47.460 do you want to read them or shall i um yeah do you want to read yep sigil stone uh i smell we're

01:17:54.920 off youtube now right so i can give my opinion sounds great i smell fake news yeah it's obvious

01:18:00.920 bollocks yeah uh an office full of men and she goes for a guy that looks like rocky dennis wearing

01:18:06.000 an indian mask i don't believe you you don't even need to know what he looks like you just need to

01:18:10.360 hear the allegations and hear her using weirdly specific racial slurs and calling him brownie

01:18:16.720 and her little brown boy and you go this is porn brain fantasy man that's all this is just before

01:18:25.360 you know she she enticed him just you know grok bring me up slurs for asians yeah it's just like

01:18:30.980 uh tom rat the outcome from this jp morgan exec story is probably broken bo's heart you could

01:18:36.680 tell the picture the accuser has painted of her was the butter to bo's muffin when he first heard

01:18:41.740 oh i don't know if that's complimenting or bullying bo fictagius can't wait for the

01:18:48.920 netflix adaptation and if they'll race or gender swap anyone what'll happen is when the truth of

01:18:53.800 all this story comes out whoever turns out to be in the right will be the one who is indian

01:19:00.340 and whoever turns out to be in the wrong will be white that's how it'll turn out if netflix were

01:19:06.520 to make an adaptation of such a thing the hapsification you know if that guy could

01:19:11.000 have just written a novel and the women of tiktok would have eaten it up and spread this to other

01:19:16.080 women women love salacious and scandalous stories especially in a novel that's right women right

01:19:22.560 getting back to the important matters of video gaming right how productive is it to read weird

01:19:28.320 soft core pornography erotica all day right okay answer me that why don't you think about it while

01:19:37.060 watching the video comments you know it's often wondered how those who claim to be the most warm

01:19:42.840 hearted enlightened and kindly people in our society so regularly circle the wagons around

01:19:47.440 the most extreme dregs of humanity like the ms13 crowd and while some of course are going to be

01:19:51.940 malicious i think most of these people are simply so sheltered that the most extreme wickedness

01:19:55.740 they've ever encountered would be someone being slightly rude in an office party thus when

01:19:59.720 presented with genuine malevolence their scale of reference simply blows out and they can't

01:20:03.780 distinguish between someone engaging in faux pars and an actual murderer but ah human rights

01:20:08.280 the rule of law at the end of the day these are effectively just bourgeois etiquettes and that

01:20:12.960 they have reference for and that they guard jealously problem is their interpretation

01:20:19.600 their really bad interpretation of human rights has an enormous legal and ngo industry behind it

01:20:27.260 that enforces it and it has soros money and all sorts behind it so that needs to be dismantled

01:20:33.860 for us to be able to actually uh get the uh right and desirable outcomes

01:20:38.220 next one please

01:20:41.480 so here we are sunset over long france yep i'm still on the cruise boys but

01:20:50.800 figured i'd show you guys what i'm seeing from my end unfortunately i couldn't give you the

01:20:58.080 video from the visit to the american cemetery

01:21:03.340 that is a glorious sunset yeah i like those videos where michael is euromaxing

01:21:10.660 and sending us i hope you're having plenty of naps

01:21:14.120 so here i am still in rouen and i've noticed a lot of shops here in france

01:21:22.080 have josh's name on them i see all these signs that say firm firm but every time i try to go in

01:21:28.800 they're all closed i'm wondering what are you up to josh well clearly he's not working there either

01:21:38.640 um i think firm in french's exit let me check right also i was in rouen last year uh when i

01:21:45.940 visited france with my family um the city center is beautiful but we were staying for some stupid

01:21:54.260 reason to save money and the outskirts of rouen in one of the form really cheap formula one hotels

01:22:00.780 that they have and my god the area that we were staying in was so heavily islamized it was untrue

01:22:07.900 we got there and i looked around i didn't see a single french person uh for the entirety of the

01:22:14.380 stay at that hotel thankfully it was only one night and then we moved on and then on the way

01:22:18.980 back we actually went to the center of rouen and it was really really nice but like that part was

01:22:24.480 just beyond the pale good morning here i am passing through one of the locks heading off

01:22:35.400 to Kellyard Castle, one of the castles of Richard the Lionbarter.

01:22:41.240 Add some Google locks here on the city.

01:22:45.760 Have a bit of fun.

01:22:48.120 Oh, that's awesome.

01:22:50.200 Really awesome.

01:22:50.960 Hope you have a great time out there. Yeah.

01:22:54.000 So he says, I'm here at an ancient copper mine.

01:22:57.240 Mining began here 3,500 years ago.

01:23:01.240 In all, there's over eight kilometers of these underground tunnels.

01:23:06.840 Copper was, of course, very important into the creation of bronze,

01:23:10.980 so having a mine as large as this was very important.

01:23:19.180 And they call it a mine.

01:23:21.860 A mine.

01:23:24.580 It's no mine. It's a tomb.

01:23:26.940 Mining is badass.

01:23:28.580 Yeah, it is. That is incredible.

01:23:31.240 Dan, you have to tell me

01:23:33.640 in your new schedule or something.

01:23:35.560 I'm trying to get you the

01:23:36.660 Peter Perrer

01:23:38.960 as Lib Dem.

01:23:41.400 I'm trying to give you his economic plans.

01:23:44.560 If I can't give you

01:23:45.820 his economic plans,

01:23:47.680 how am I supposed to get your reactions?

01:23:50.020 Come on, you're supposed to be my economist here.

01:23:53.840 Well, that was something.

01:23:55.340 At least there was a cat on the screen.

01:23:56.680 I love the cat.

01:23:58.320 Let's go on with the written comments.

01:24:00.760 Yeah, sure. So from my segment, TPPT makes a great point, which is reform's position is that collective punishment for natives based on constituency lines is a good thing.

01:24:12.660 But collective punishment for foreign communities that support and cover up the rape gangs is evil.

01:24:18.320 Yeah, seems to be the case. He also says on the reform policy, what if they start building the detention centre?

01:24:24.600 Then there's a by-election and they vote reforming. Do they stop building it?

01:24:28.520 If the Greens say that they'll do every legal action to delay and frustrate building it, what would be the motivation to then vote for reform after they decide to build there?

01:24:39.480 Yeah, I think that part of it is there are just too many unpredictable variables when it comes to...

01:24:46.920 Sorry, the meme's back on there.

01:24:48.080 I was like, variables, not a funny word.

01:24:52.200 canis familiaris says i think the don't know category is so high because the question is

01:25:01.520 too abstract sure it applies to punitive actions such as putting immigration centers there but it

01:25:07.060 could also apply to positive things like opening a nuclear power plant or coal mining in a small

01:25:12.320 town that votes for industrial expansion yeah i can see the sense of that and then that's a random

01:25:18.480 name says this policy feels very boomer coded uh vote for us i will unleash the brown hordes on you

01:25:24.840 yeah i just like say i don't think it's been thoroughly thought through i think it's more

01:25:31.780 based on getting a reaction out of them and making them panic and feel uh as you say under

01:25:37.380 attack than it is about the actual uh pragmatic side of the policy all right jan havey i always

01:25:44.780 thought men playing video games was attractive if she had said only playing video games for hours

01:25:50.440 without any job for example i would understand exactly golden mean everything in moderation

01:25:55.560 but otherwise let the man enjoy his video games thank you preach dirty belter wife you should

01:26:01.760 take the bins out me were it so easy um this is this is true actually right i won't i won't

01:26:10.040 myself in too much recently but there was a recent experience that turned into a minor

01:26:17.080 minor kerfuffle over me being asked to do things around the house and me doing all of those things

01:26:27.860 that i was asked to do around the house and yet unbeknownst to me alongside the checklist that

01:26:35.660 she had given me was a secret unspoken checklist which I was also expected to fulfill in the short

01:26:43.900 amount of time that I had to myself that day and upon my non-completion of the things that I had

01:26:49.780 not been asked to do oh boy I was in trouble tell me if you've ever experienced that before

01:26:56.600 gents in the chat jokes aside just look for a woman who has a hobby if she exists when you're

01:27:02.640 not there then she can comprehend you needing time to relax or be alone my wife is very happy

01:27:07.540 knitting me another uh word i probably can't say jumper while i play dark souls excellent can i

01:27:16.140 can i invoke sean connery just for a second what are we gonna do here well there's just there's

01:27:23.120 this moment in this interview where he's saying about the fact that it's actually good for people

01:27:27.540 in relationships that she has her hobby sometimes and you have yours to have your own space yeah as

01:27:32.480 well so you're not doing the same things together all the time right it actually helps to strengthen

01:27:37.940 the relationship not harm it sometimes i'll take my daughter on a walk um just to give the missus

01:27:43.860 some time to um relax in the bath for an hour or two which she really likes doing just get to read

01:27:50.440 a book for a little bit i don't begrudge her and to be fair i joke but my missus doesn't begrudge

01:27:56.020 me playing video games at all she's got no problem with it uh annie moss was sweden green swindon

01:28:01.500 grievance factory worker woman's perspective on video games here any hobbies is any um any hobbies

01:28:08.000 you do in exclusion to being responsible are bad video games make some people forget there is a

01:28:13.140 clock something i've not seen with other hobbies i don't know people who've missed work because

01:28:17.140 they have spent all night playing guitar i forgot to pick their kids up from school because they

01:28:21.220 were fixing up an old car that's not the same for video games as these things happen when people are

01:28:26.360 immersed in gaming again not excusing people wasting their lives doing it but everything in

01:28:32.560 moderation right whereas the woman we were addressing there was applying it as a blanket

01:28:37.980 statement towards all video gameplay i will say in my experience it does kind of feel like time

01:28:43.740 never goes faster than when i am playing a video game though it's like just you feel like you've

01:28:49.660 got it on you've started playing and then before you know like half an hour's gone by yeah like

01:28:53.860 you've got like half an hour you've got to keep track of the time yeah but still y'all

01:28:57.640 alex ptolemy says i don't understand how anyone one felt fell for the jb morgan guy the second i

01:29:05.540 read it i knew it was written by an indian man white people don't even use the insult fish head

01:29:12.240 and the entire storyline is clearly a perverted sexual fantasy uh henry ashman once it came out

01:29:19.680 that this guy

01:29:20.400 lied about his

01:29:21.160 father's death

01:29:22.180 to get three

01:29:22.760 months paid

01:29:23.380 leave.

01:29:24.220 My mind was

01:29:24.820 made up about

01:29:25.620 this case and

01:29:26.380 the bloke

01:29:26.820 filling it.

01:29:28.740 Lord Inquisitor

01:29:29.660 Hector X says

01:29:30.560 is that a

01:29:31.100 fish head in
