	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 25th of January 2023.
	I'm joined by Harry.
	Hello!
	We were just discussing about moving to Bulgaria, so sorry for the delay.
	How to feel, Bulgarian blood.
	Yeah, that too.
	But today we're going to be talking about Day in the Life of Getting Fired, Jeremy Clarkson getting himself in trouble again, and Why Don't You Own a Gun, Commie, which is just a nice little fluff thing I thought we'd do.
	Day in the Life of Getting Fired.
	This isn't anything to do with my work performance, is it?
	No.
	Okay, that's alright then.
	Okay, good.
	This has to do with people in tech's work performance.
	Oh.
	Lack thereof.
	So, let's begin.
	Day in the life of getting fired.
	Well, I start up my day and I make some coffee and blah blah blah blah blah or whatever the hell else the goddamn TikTokers are going to talk about today because that's the good news.
	Well, a lot of people are getting laid off right now in tech and if you're one of them, sorry to hear it, but we bring some good news which is a lot of useless people are also getting laid off and we can, you know, cheer ourselves up by having a look at them.
	This comes with bad news, though.
	Useless people might be coming to a workforce near you.
	Maybe not.
	Just don't employ them.
	But many are TikTok-ing their own firing, which is funny.
	We'll start off just with the statistics here, as you can see.
	Just another day in America.
	Huge numbers of people being let off from the huge companies for the tech industry being the leading charge of just getting rid of employees every single month.
	But if we go forward, if we go to the next one, we've got...
	There we are.
	Day in my life of blah blah blah, now I'm fired.
	This lady here.
	I'm not surprised if this is actually what they're doing, because TikTok seems to be the only skill they developed in these jobs.
	The only thing they seem to do at their times.
	But anyway, speaking of nerds who deserve to be laid off, I'm just going to plug SellingAlertSins.com, being the late party conference abridged, which everyone should go and check out, because it's jolly good fun.
	I don't know, if you like cringe, it's good fun.
	If it's not, then, you know...
	Maybe not your cup of tea, but anyway.
	Did he actually say that quote on the thumbnail there?
	Because that's pretty good.
	Any man who has to claim that he's not an embarrassment is an embarrassment.
	100%.
	And every single one of them was there with their...
	Well, that one there specifically actually is a Cuban lanyard because he's not an embarrassment.
	I don't know if you can notice.
	Alright, okay.
	Anyway, moving forwards, we shall go to a meme that you sent me.
	Which was very good.
	This was genius.
	This was beautiful.
	I'm so shocked and disappointed that the man who posted it has apparently taken it down.
	Yeah, which is annoying for people who are not able to see all of it.
	So, top insiders, we absolutely need to hire more retards.
	It's the right thing to do.
	We need to make challenging this obviously true myth that retards means things become more retarded.
	Retard alert!
	As the number of retards has increased and the financial industry has increased, the industry has somehow become more retarded.
	Experts are scrambling to find out why.
	And I did see this meme, joking about the financial industry, but also it very much is true of every industry, especially the tech industry, which is just, you get people who come across and say, oh, more people equals more growth, because companies are expanding.
	And it's like, yeah, but what if you hire retards?
	And the tech industry seem to have spent all the time hiring retards.
	If you judge your growth by how much money you're spending, then things can always be growing, because you can always just spend more and more money.
	Bro, infinite growth glitch found.
	Anyway, so we'll get to the start of this because you may have some questions and I have some questions.
	You're sheltering day in the life TikTokers into the floorboards, aren't you?
	That's the good question, though.
	Where are these people going to go?
	These people are like letting the animals out of the zoo.
	They're not supposed to be out in the wild.
	They're supposed to be sheltered.
	These are people who from cradle till the day they die have been sheltered in some form or another.
	What's gonna happen?
	Is San Francisco going to get a new influx of heroin-addicted druggies?
	I was about to say, everyone doesn't start homeless, so you can always end homeless.
	Also left with a local lady who shows us her day and all the work she does, and Neon's bro making the point that she even points out herself in this video of a day in the life of me as a blah blah blah.
	She works a whole three hours.
	In her job.
	Hey, hey, hey.
	Breakfast is very important, okay?
	It's the most important meal of the day.
	Let's play this design manager or whatever.
	This is a day in my life as a product designer at Meta.
	I work out of their headquarters in Menlo Park and this campus honestly reminds me of Disneyland.
	At 9.30 I got breakfast with my team who are here this week for a three-day design workshop.
	In the morning, we did different design thinking activities before getting lunch at our barbecue pit, which is our smokehouse on campus.
	We couldn't forget about dessert, so we went to our sweet shop to get some ice cream.
	In the afternoon, we continued working on our different projects before exploring the campus on bikes.
	Next, we went to another building to explore our 9-acre rooftop park.
	We grabbed some snacks and drinks before sitting outside in our courtyard.
	We took the shuttle back to Classic Campus and ended the evening with a team dinner.
	So yeah, that was three hours of work.
	This is what I mean.
	These people are basically, they're in the incredibly fancy equivalent of just being locked up in a cage all day with someone throwing scraps at them every so often.
	This is obviously the multi-million dollar equivalent of that, but that's essentially what they're doing.
	They're just there so they can eat food, TikTok, and maybe type some commands into a computer.
	Do you really think that three hours of work they were doing in the day was even worthwhile in the first place?
	Product design management at Meta.
	It was almost certainly just those three hours of work was sending a few emails back and forth saying, oh, we're going to do this?
	Yeah, we're going to do this.
	Great.
	I can't wait till we can do this.
	I'll schedule that in for next week.
	But also, like, what products are Beth even making?
	Don't they own Oculus?
	So they might...
	I doubt she's got anything to do with VR development, though.
	Nothing interesting seems to come out of them anyway.
	And if we go to the stock price real quick, just to see how investors feel about Meta, if you can click on Max there, so then we can get a full scale of how long this has been going.
	Yeah, there you are.
	This company's worth about half.
	When did it start going down?
	What was going on at the time that it peaked and then started to crash immediately?
	Late 2021, peak of everyone stay at home because scary virus.
	I mean, that all makes sense.
	But then also just terrible decisions by the people running the place and also, wait, why are we...
	Why are we doing what we're doing?
	Because the thing as to why those people end up doing what they're doing is that the people at the top think, okay, we'll get the best talent and the way we'll do that is we'll offer ridiculous salaries and ridiculous working conditions and then the best people will come and work here because it's the best job you could possibly get and in which case, yeah, okay, we spend a lot on nonsense and they don't do a lot of work hours but we'll get really good stuff out of it.
	Yeah, but what happens if loads of other people who aren't going to do the work get those jobs as well, and then the good people start leaving, and then you're stuck with all the retards?
	The problem is that for a long time, the retards will be loyal, because they know that without that job, they've got absolutely nothing.
	And, well, stock price, I would say, is somewhat reflective of the performance of Facebook, which is nothing these days compared to what it used to be.
	Right before the beginning of 2022, that just takes an absolute nosedive.
	Yeah.
	I think it's now worth, what is that, less than maybe 2019?
	Maybe 2017?
	All that wealth has been wiped out in stock value there.
	Yeah.
	Going great.
	And you'll notice as well, and it will become apparent throughout this, one of the things I just really hate about modern culture...
	It's a very western thing, is the endless stupid drinks.
	A million kinds of coffee was the meme once upon a time, but now it's different kinds of juices and blah blah blah.
	It'll piss me off, and maybe I'll piss you off at the end of this too.
	It's something about modern life I hate.
	You've watched Peep Show, right?
	Yeah.
	It's like when Super Hands goes clean in the last series and they meet up with him for his stag do, and instead of going out drinking, they're all just at juice bars.
	Kill me.
	I can't stand it.
	But let's go to the next link here because we can see another lady.
	This is a Google employee who decided to do a day in the life before she got fired.
	And let's enjoy the day before she got fired to see the kind of work she was up to.
	A day in my life working from the Google LA office.
	I always grab some candy from the reception before heading in.
	This used to be an old aircraft hangar, so the decorations hanging from the ceiling kind of looks like an aircraft flying in.
	Before it was a Google office, this aircraft hangar belonged to Howard Hughes, so there's tons of memorabilia.
	Next, I'm going to pass by these art installations.
	They're a really good photo op, or you can sit in there and get some work done.
	I'm going to head to the coffee shop to grab some Coffee and a fruit cup since I missed breakfast.
	And then I'm heading over to this butterfly themed room to take my first meeting.
	Then I'm gonna head over to the confetti room to take my next meeting.
	It's so sparkly and beautiful in here.
	I love that a lot of our rooms are themed.
	Then I'm gonna grab my two favorite drinks, which is this green tea and coconut water.
	Next, I'm gonna go upstairs and grab some lunch.
	They always have pizza and a variety of different vegetables and meat.
	The food is always really good, and of course, everything you see in the office is free.
	On my way out of the cafe, I ran into a Dougler, which is a dog Googler, and ran into some ghosts.
	When they were renovating the office, there were a lot of spooky stories from the crew, so there's a whole area in the office where you can listen to them.
	Then I got more work done and headed over to the massage chairs to wrap up my day.
	Let me know what you want to see next.
	Work.
	What do you actually do?
	See, this person is a literal overgrown child.
	She literally says, I really like this room because the walls are really sparkly.
	You're 12.
	Yeah, there are some...
	You're an actual 12-year-old.
	That's normie.
	It is very normie.
	But also, I just had some terrible flashbacks there when she's talking about my first thing I did.
	Obviously, she goes through all of the nonsense, and then the first thing she does approaching work is a meeting.
	Then she immediately goes into her next meeting.
	Yeah, so that was the only two things in there that were even slightly work-related.
	No, they're not.
	She said she had two meetings.
	Right, do you want to know what gets done in a tech meeting?
	Nothing.
	Yeah, it's literally just, alright, here's the work we're planning on doing.
	How should we plan on doing it more?
	Okay, there you go, that's it.
	And they somehow managed to expand that into about an hour or two.
	Well, we're getting paid.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Plus, I can go to the massage chair after this.
	Gosh, stressful.
	Okay, okay, right.
	Anyway, that was the day before she got fired, and then, because, you know, these companies aren't making any money, they're having to completely destroy this culture of no work, so they sent her an email, and she decided to TikTok that as well, which, um, oh, let's try not to enjoy too much, but let's play it.
	A day in my life getting laid off at Google.
	So I woke up to this really ominous text from my boss and I honestly had no idea what it was going to be about.
	So I called her the minute I woke up and saw this and she told me to check the news and my email.
	So I rushed downstairs to find out that I had lost access to basically everything.
	I couldn't log into my email or even check my I called my boss back and we just sobbed over the phone because she was also finding out about my layoff for the first time today too.
	I started getting calls from a bunch of my co-workers and started finding out who else was let go on my team and some neighboring teams as well.
	But I think the worst part is that it seems like no one was consulted on this decision and everyone was just finding out about the layoffs at the same time.
	It just felt like a really bad game of Russian Roulette and there was no consistency around who was let go.
	It was also not performance based so it just felt really random.
	I opened up LinkedIn, which honestly was not great for my mental health.
	There were so many people who were in the same boat that were both equally as shocked and blindsided, but it did help me feel a little less alone.
	Honestly, I spent so much of the day crying that I just felt so tired from being sad and wanted to do something that would just make me feel better.
	Luckily, I have an annual pass, so I headed over to Disneyland because I wanted to go eat my feelings.
	So I started off with a cinnamon galaxy churro and then went to the teriyaki turkey leg.
	This is a special limited edition item for the Lunar New Year celebration at Disney California Adventure.
	I had some Rice Krispie, a corn dog, did some drawing, and even had another churro.
	I don't really know what's next for me, but I'll be vlogging my journey and posting more content about it, so feel free to follow along.
	Other than getting laid off at the beginning, that was the exact same as any other day that she would have been vlogging about.
	It even turned, in the end, in the end, into the typical, and then at the end of the day, I had a Disneyland year pass, so I went to Disneyland so that I could eat all of this.
	Oh, piss off.
	It's just insufferable.
	And, uh, could you imagine you work in any other industry or whatever, and then you get laid off?
	I mean, like, you start looking for other work.
	Whereas her, she just cries about it all day with her colleagues.
	Again, if you don't do anything, if you literally don't do any work that's useful to the company, in a rational place, it would not be a surprise that you were fired.
	You already weren't doing anything, now you're just not doing anything and not getting paid for it.
	That's the difference.
	And besides, I always find it hilarious that she gets fired that morning and immediately thinks to herself...
	How can I TikTok this?
	How can I vlog this?
	We've seen this industry.
	I remember when I was in school and they were all telling us about the best jobs in the world to go and work for Google, look at the low amount of hours you have to do and all the stuff they give you for free, not to mention these huge salaries.
	I remember that pitch being made to me and thinking, that's awful, because I knew what would happen, which is you turn up and maybe you do some work and then you realise you don't need to and then you've got the guy next to you doing nothing and it's like, why should I bother?
	We're all getting paid the same stuff, giving the same free things.
	These tech companies are, well, were, a high proportion of them were just people sitting around one another.
	They all know that none of them are actually doing any work, but they want to give the impression that they are.
	But I mean, my point being that the guys who were doing work, I presume, have left long ago and sat up their own startups as they routinely seem to do.
	Either that or they're in the basement.
	Or doing whatever, because, like, why would you stay?
	This is mind-numbing.
	Not to mention the people who seem to be left are only good for one thing, which is TikToking.
	And in which case, as she even says herself, I've been laid off.
	But don't worry, I'll continue TikTok-ing.
	These people, they're like vampires, except instead of blood, it's clout.
	They live off of social media clout.
	They want the clicks, they want the likes, they want the engagement.
	So as long as she's got something to TikTok, she will survive.
	She's like a clout demon.
	There's more of these as well, because I went searching for them.
	This lady here, I think we've played her before, so I'm going to play it again just in case we have.
	But she does a whole two hours work.
	In her entire day here.
	She works at Meta as well.
	So, same deal as last time with the annoying corporate music and the annoying voice.
	Amazing, there's just these similarities.
	The quiet sense of desperation shared between all of these videos.
	Ah god, the dumb drinks as well.
	This one especially.
	She has like five different stupid ass drinks and no one cares about.
	And there's just an emptiness I get from all of these that just suggests to me that you're dead inside.
	Yeah.
	If you're doing this, this life that these people are living is just empty.
	But they've also got all the spare time.
	Why don't you just make your own startup?
	Which, presumably, the other guys did.
	I mean, these are the sorts of people who have to wake up first thing in the morning and journal, I am beautiful, I am smart, in the margins, as you noticed there.
	I didn't notice that until you said it, but there you are.
	That's someone who's mentally well.
	She did a whole two hours work in that one here.
	Don't know if she's been laid off yet.
	Probably.
	Let's go to the next one.
	I wasn't going to go that far.
	If you're not doing anything and you're getting 100k in some tech firm, you don't have a job.
	It's essentially like the diversity hires, except that you're not even diverse.
	It's like nursery.
	You're there to be looked after so that you don't go out and cause too much trouble in public.
	Then we have this lady here, which I wonder if we can just play and scream from the start, because it's friggin' hilarious, this one.
	Although she does actually do some stuff.
	She doesn't do zero.
	Alright, okay, alright.
	We were previously looking at, but she's kind of nice.
	So can we play this from the start or not?
	We can do that.
	My life as a 23-year-old product manager working in tech.
	I woke up around 7, put on some light makeup, got dressed, and head out to the train station.
	I was running late, so literally had to run to catch the 8 a.m.
	train.
	I hopped into my first meeting of the day from my phone, and before I knew it, I had gone from San Francisco to Mountain View.
	Time to transfer to the shuttle that goes right to my office.
	I ended up being the only one on it, and then jumped into another meeting, which I just wanted to listen in on.
	Before I knew it, I was at work and immediately booked it to breakfast since it was ending soon.
	Breakfast with some eggs, a muffin scone, and some veggies.
	Then I head over to our cafe to grab a peppermint matcha latte, which I've never had before.
	It was absolutely delicious.
	I finished it so fast.
	I explored the office a bit more, took some meetings from the phone room, and then it was time for lunch.
	Lunch today started off with a fresh salad, and then I went over to the sushi station, which was also handing out green tea ice cream for dessert.
	Both were so good.
	After lunch, we went up to explore the rooftop garden.
	It was my first time at this office, so I wanted to see everything.
	Then I went back inside, took some more meetings, and then we had a little break, so we went to go find the juice bar.
	I got an apple ginger juice, which was quite refreshing.
	Cheers.
	While we were outside, we also went to go check out the brand new gym.
	It was two levels and so high-tech.
	Then I finished off the rest of my day with some more meetings and work before commuting home the same way I got here.
	Follow the war.
	So she did, I think, about 30 minutes of work.
	There were some meetings, but she didn't do anything.
	She was just listening in.
	Well, meetings don't count.
	I'm just thinking, who watches these?
	And the only conclusion that I can come to, outside of people like us laughing at them, is other tech workers.
	There are quite a lot of comments I saw underneath these.
	And simps.
	No, no, they're not simps.
	It's all just people going...
	Bro, what the hell?
	What are you doing with your life?
	They're made for other tech workers, though.
	I feel like it's a call out into the void to say, you're not alone.
	I also am living a completely empty life.
	Well, you know, there were tens and tens of thousands of people doing that.
	There's not a small amount.
	Exactly, there's an audience for it, see?
	The audience is the producers.
	There's that.
	Kind of, again, the drink culture.
	Hate it.
	But also just the accent.
	The accent is consistent.
	It was so good.
	They also seem to all do this thing, which, I don't know, you'll understand, living in the UK, I really don't get it.
	This thing where these people in these big businesses will just take a random flight that morning to just a completely different part of the country in America.
	Like, she started off, oh, I'm just getting a flight first thing.
	Did she?
	Yeah, I think so.
	I thought it was a shuttle bus.
	It wasn't a shuttle bus.
	Was it?
	Well, a lot of these people seem to...
	Sometimes that does happen, yeah.
	Yeah, they seem to just fly all the way across America, and I just wonder, like, do you not, like, have a home?
	Like, are you just completely rootless?
	Just seems a lot of work.
	Anyway, if we go to the next one here, there's a TikTok engineer here who I watched his vlog.
	It was a whole seven minutes, which is...
	Because, of course, not all of them are TikTok weirdos.
	This guy actually, you know, tries to make a little vlog out of it.
	He does about three hours work.
	I'm already excited for these donors.
	Yeah.
	Although, why someone slathered them in tar, I don't know.
	Yeah, it's weird.
	But this guy, he codes, so he actually did something for three hours.
	He actually sat and coded.
	We found the one guy who works.
	The rest of it, he was having fun.
	But that's what the company was originally looking for.
	It's the reason you do this kind of...
	Someone to do three hours of good work and then just whatever.
	Yeah, I don't care.
	You've done something amazing.
	You're worth the money.
	We'll give you all this free crap just so you can hang out.
	And if you want to do more, then that's great for us.
	That's the reason for making all of these structures.
	And he did three hours of coding.
	He was like, alright, whatever.
	If it's worth the money, it's worth the money.
	There's other people not so much.
	And that's the other side thing to this.
	There's a reason you would want this kind of job.
	Like, it's all funny and laughing at the design managers and whatnot who literally do zero, and yes, they deserve to be laughed at, but I mean, it is true as well.
	Like, if you want to hire someone as good as, you know, like the best coder in the world who can make something amazing in their day...
	You've got to offer an incentive for them to stop.
	Yeah, that's why this corporate culture came about in the first place.
	It was actually a decent idea in theory, which is we're going to get the good guys, and then we're going to have them make the great stuff, and we'll make loads of money.
	In practice, it came butting right up against the university system of...
	Ah, degrees for everyone!
	There you go, you want a degree!
	You get a degree!
	And then you start hiring more and more and then you realise, hang on, we haven't actually hired really high quality people.
	And then there's diversity quotas.
	Yeah, you've got a degree, you're black.
	We're not getting what we want out of this.
	This wasn't the purpose of why we're doing it, but whatever.
	We'll go to the next one here.
	This lady works a whole five hours in her life, so, you know, does something.
	In her life?
	Yeah.
	But, you know, again, someone actually is doing something.
	I suppose we'll go to the next clip because the way this ends is also rather funny.
	Let's play that one.
	Back with another realistic day in the life at Google Seattle.
	Get to the office at around 6am to beat the traffic and just get a nice workout.
	At around 7am I'm getting ready at the locker room.
	Getting breakfast at this really cute cafe at 8am.
	Got some crepes, iced Americano, which is so good.
	And at around 8.20 I got to work.
	I usually get a snack at around 10 a.m.
	And today I forgot a charging cable so I went to the vending machine to get one.
	And 11.30 is usually when I eat lunch.
	I got a whole hodgepodge of things including pizza and this is the view that I like to eat with.
	At 12 o'clock I get some more caffeine and just spend the afternoon doing some more work.
	I like to de-stress at the end of the day and today I booked a massage appointment so I have that for an hour and then go home at 5.30.
	Big life update.
	I got laid off yesterday.
	But she's the only one who did any amount of work.
	She was working for a continuous four hours.
	She was actually doing some things instead of saying, I have meetings and then I walk about.
	But that's the thing as well.
	Tens of thousands of people getting laid off, yeah, you're going to lose some good people as well.
	That's what happens when you're high loads of retards.
	Yeah, you're going to lose good people.
	I would be in such good shape if we had an office gym.
	Carl, if you're watching this...
	You need to sort it out, then.
	Pitching for your gym.
	Well, we'll end this off, because that's the end of the day in the life of TikTok tech nerds.
	They're all getting fired, so that's a genre gone.
	We'll end this just with the only thing I want to see in future, which is, of course, the day in the life of the true Brexit geezer, which an amazingly amount of people haven't seen, so I thought we'd enjoy being sent off with this.
	Let's play.
	Day in the life of a true Brexit geezer.
	Wake up and meet the wife, Susan.
	My little princess.
	Isn't she beautiful?
	Time to take George to football.
	Love up the Bugatti.
	Quick stop at Toby's and load up that plane.
	Get a pint.
	Pitch looking lovely today, lads.
	Just a bit of banter.
	Chippy makes a 38-0, lost better.
	Popped down Local Pride, good old pie, look at that!
	Susan made dinner, lovely.
	Popped down, have a couple of points with the lads.
	And finish up at the Fortress of Drain.
	There we are.
	Big Baz's day in the life, so gonna go strong.
	That looks like a Blackpool hotel I stayed in once.
	Jesus Christ.
	But they're also just way more entertaining and don't make you feel with anger.
	I have sadly poured a pint or two like that one shown early in the video when I was starting behind the bar.
	Grim.
	It feels awful and everyone laughs at you.
	But there we are.
	The death of the day in the do-nothing tech worker, which hopefully it cheered people off.
	Yes.
	And now for something which hasn't cheered me up at all, which is that Grand Tour and Clarkson's Farm might be getting cancelled, and I feel like pure ass, to be honest.
	I just need Clarkson's Farm back.
	I love Clarkson's Farm, even though it's only the one series so far.
	Supposedly, they're doing series two and three still, but it was so wonderful, so wholesome, so just genuine.
	Enlightening.
	It was, it was.
	You're absolutely right.
	It gave a proper insight into the life of what British farmers go through.
	A day in the life of your average British farmer.
	But the absolute nonsense they have to go through in regards to state interference.
	Oh yeah, just like, you're not allowed to put grain in the corner of this particular place because it's a fire hazard.
	I mean, that's...
	Maybe it is a...
	Maybe it is a fire hazard, but still, you know...
	I was thinking more the, like, you know when he opens the shop and they're like, this isn't allowed because you don't have a toilet.
	I'm like, what?
	What?
	We're in a field!
	We're in nature's toilet!
	The most recent news is he's built a restaurant.
	He took pictures of the restaurant, looks absolutely lovely, and they were like, yeah, it ruins the nature of the quaint village.
	It's the quaintest restaurant you've ever seen.
	I know I've been to the little village where it's all based in.
	It is a really lovely quaint little village, but I've not seen an image of the restaurant, but I trust...
	Oh, it's great.
	I trust that it's just a lovely little village restaurant.
	The kind of thing anyone else would build in a little village like that.
	Except he's built in the middle of a field.
	And then they're like, yeah, this is ruining the whole village.
	It's in a field.
	You can't even see it.
	Why'd they let him build it in the first place?
	I don't think they gave permission.
	He just did it.
	It's Clarkson.
	That is very Clarkson.
	And we do like Clarkson.
	Clarkson's a very entertaining man, but he is in trouble.
	He is in big trouble at the moment, because he said some very nasty things.
	Very nasty things about everyone's favourite Meghan Markle.
	I'll get into it in a moment, but first, just another promo for the recent article I did, Anatomy of the Communists.
	Still really happy with this article.
	If you want a good beginner's guide to what the Communist means outside of pure economics, I'd say this is a good article.
	It's been getting some good reviews.
	So yeah, check that out.
	It's premium, so be at least a Bronze-tier member to read it.
	And if you've got Silver-tier, then great, you can check out the audio track as well.
	Anyway, let's get into it.
	So what exactly did Jeremy Clarkson say about Meghan Markle?
	You probably already know this, but he said a few things about Meghan Markle, all of them very based.
	I don't like her.
	Yes, that would have been enough, but instead he chose to make a pop culture reference, which the media chose to purposefully misinterpret because of course they did, because they've got to make the big performative show of it all to make sure that Meghan Markle knows that they're still on her side.
	So, he said, he was writing a column for The Sun, and he said, at night, this was about Meghan Markle and how much he hates her, and to be fair, if I could make a few bob from The Sun, just writing columns about how much I dislike Meghan Markle, I would as well.
	At night, I'm unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant SHAME and throw lumps of excrement at her.
	He also said that he hated Markle...
	Not like he hated Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West.
	Bear in mind that Rose West is a notorious serial, well, not serial killer, but she did murder one of her daughters, I think, and also abused many children and was the wife of Fred West, who is a serial killer from England, but on a cellular level.
	So he hates Meghan Markle even more than he hates Rose West.
	Now, this is not a serious statement.
	I agree with it.
	While I agree, this is an obvious joke.
	Do you think that there is any room for misinterpretation that he is being serious or joking?
	Not unless you're a liar.
	Not unless you're a liar.
	Well, it turns out the entirety of the Western media is liars, because of course there's a massive hullabaloo about all of this.
	It's very performative, because...
	As if nobody's watched Game of Thrones.
	As if everybody getting angry about this hasn't watched Game of Thrones, knows what scene he's referring to there, and decided to just take it out of context and try and turn it into a big thing anyway.
	Which, sadly, has worked because the entirety of the media class loves Meghan Markle because she is their golden goose.
	She keeps getting deals for some reason.
	I can only assume that when she was in the Hollywood sphere that she made a few friends, so to speak, in the Weinstein manner, perhaps.
	See, Callum agrees.
	If Callum doesn't respond, the Shumi agrees.
	There's just this absolute madness obsession with her, and I think it's because they want to destroy the royal family, fundamentally.
	Any kind of structural hierarchy needs to be destroyed, and that's the main one.
	And she gives them the slightest, it's terrible ammunition, it's really stupid ammunition, but it's still ammunition, and the only people they need to convince are people who already agree with them.
	Well, the West is so weak, any accusation of racism befuddles our elites for some reason, and she's not even black, which is funny, just on a number of levels.
	Average Mediterranean woman.
	And when I say average, I mean very mid.
	Baystate was absolutely right, though.
	It's just like, Megan is black?
	Like, she said that she was white in some applications for job roles and auditions.
	Her CV says she's white, but her media profile says she's black.
	And then when she was on Suits, she had to explain, like, five series in, oh, by the way, I'm black, and everyone was like, what?
	Really?
	Are you?
	Okay.
	You should be on the other side of this legal firm.
	Why aren't we defending you?
	That's a joke.
	Yeah, he's also made some other claims about her statements in the past, where he said, about the Netflix deal in 2020, he said, which would see them produce shows that would inform but also give hope.
	I didn't know that that was one of the ways that they tried to sell it.
	That's rubbish.
	Inform but also give hope.
	That's a meaningless statement.
	Clarkson told The Sun, they will be drivel.
	£100 million to make shows and films that inform and give hope.
	Kill me.
	I'd be much...
	LAUGHTER He's right.
	He's so right.
	He says here, I'd be much better at making their programs, as I don't give an S about anything they give an S about.
	Just awful.
	So Clarkson, it turns out, has incredible predictive power.
	Because it was drivel.
	And it was nonsense.
	And it was just awful.
	So, he's absolutely right there.
	And he also said, when Meghan Markle told me to leave the car at home, I wanted to shoot a polar bear in the middle of its face.
	That was part of his final column of the year for Times, apparently.
	Again, great.
	I'm sorry, I know there are a lot of people who don't like Clarkson, but the guy is funny as hell.
	Clarkson's hilarious.
	I find it very difficult not to like Clarkson.
	I know a lot of people want to hate him because they know he's pretty conservative, he's very outspoken in his opinions, he's very offensive towards people, but you can't help but love him.
	On a comedic level, I mean, I know the politics is easy.
	He's denounced Twitter as a left-wing L-hole.
	He hates Jeremy Corbyn.
	He called out Sage for being full of communists.
	Yeah, the climate change is just like, stop being retarded.
	Actually, figure out this instead of just...
	Most of his segments on Top Gear were dedicated to making fun of green cars.
	But on the comedic level, yeah, there are a few bits he's done where it's so performative I don't find it funny.
	But on stuff like this, it's just great.
	It's hilarious.
	He said, so for his final column of the year for The Times, he gave Christmas holidays and Christmas greetings to everyone.
	He said, hope yours is happy too and that all of you, except Meghan Markle, have a great break.
	See you on the flip side.
	This is obvious racism.
	With a drawing of him shooting a polar bear in the face.
	This is evil.
	He's a hateful bigot.
	I can only assume it's because she's black.
	John, if you could scroll down just so we can see how black Meghan is.
	She's, um...
	As you can see there, deep from the jungles of...
	I'll stop there.
	That might be actually...
	Like a Congo tribe or something.
	She's actually so black.
	She's the blackest human being ever.
	She's so black, it actually doesn't get captured on photography very well.
	The flash photography reflects off her skin and makes her look white.
	Have you ever seen the President of South Sudan?
	No.
	He is probably the blackest world leader...
	President South Sudan.
	Yeah, with the cowboy hat.
	Alright, okay.
	I think he's a dinker, not a newer...
	Oh, wow.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Now he's black.
	Now he's a black man.
	Meghan Markle...
	No, no.
	No, what we're missing here is that given it cuts off at the waist, right?
	What we're missing is she's wearing a grass skirt.
	On the bottom half of this image, we just can't see it.
	You know, you're making jokes, but I can imagine...
	Because you remember when Nancy Pelosi did that, essentially?
	Remember the African scarf or whatever it was?
	Oh yeah, here he is for everybody watching.
	But yeah, carry on.
	I can actually imagine Meghan Markle coming out someday with one of those stupid African scarves that Nancy Pelosi wore.
	Oh, she'll be wearing like Pan-African colours or something like that.
	Like she's got some pharaoh earrings that are way too big for no reason.
	We were pharaohs.
	Yeah, yeah.
	We were pharaohs.
	Africa is all the same place.
	We was the Egyptians, we was the Zulus, we was Somalis, we was East Africa.
	We were Shakespeare's.
	And we're Liberian.
	It's like you have no idea what any of these things are, do you?
	Yeah, because of the incredibly innocuous, incredibly tame comment...
	Game of Thrones reference that Jeremy Clarkson made.
	This means that he has to be dragged over the coals and made an example of publicly because they've decided, like I said at the beginning, they're going to cancel Clarkson's Farm and Grand Tour reportedly.
	This is according to a Variety article which said that they're likely to part ways and this is not because they've decided they're just going to cancel it in the middle of filming.
	What's done, they've I've filmed a bunch of both of these shows.
	I think Grantor's got four episodes left that haven't been aired yet, and Clarkson's Farm's got the second and third series, but they've just decided they're not going to renew the contracts for it.
	Which sucks, because I really like Grantor as a spiritual successor to Top Gear, which was not the same at all after Clarkson, Hammond, and May left.
	And Clarkson's farm is just charming.
	It's lovely, charming, and like you said, actually informative.
	It is unique.
	It is.
	And so, like I say, they won't be renewing.
	On December 19th, in response to all of this, Clarkson issued a statement on Twitter saying that he was horrified to have caused so much hurt and would be more careful in the future.
	Sun pulled Clarkson's column from its website and released its own statement of apology.
	We at The Sun regret the publication of this article and we're sincerely sorry.
	And on Monday, January 6th...
	Never apologize.
	Does nothing.
	Yeah, never do any of this.
	Every time you see something like this and they get cancelled anyway, just look at everything they did and go, okay, that's what I shouldn't do.
	You shouldn't apologise.
	I don't know if you've actually seen the full Apology Clarkson release, but he starts it off by saying that apologising never seems to work, but anyway, here's a go.
	And then he does the whole thing, and it's like, you know this doesn't work.
	And then at the end he signs it off as well, going like, I don't think this will actually do anything, but hey-ho, there you go.
	That's basically what he does.
	His apology is concealed in so many layers of this is probably bollocks that won't work.
	And he's right.
	My agent wrote this.
	Yeah.
	Literally.
	Well, we'll find out why he wrote it in a moment.
	But yeah, he did the apology.
	He said, I really am sorry.
	ITV who make Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and Amazon who make The Farm Show and Grantor were incandescent.
	I therefore wrote to everyone who works with me saying how sorry I was.
	He then said that on Christmas morning he emailed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to apologise to them directly.
	In response, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said that Clarkson wrote solely to Prince Harry.
	I mean, that's the wrong...
	If you need to sort this out, you need to write to the man of the house, and that is definitely not Prince Harry, let's be honest.
	Before adding, while a new public apology has been issued today by Mr.
	Clarkson, what remains to be addressed is his long-standing pattern of writing articles that spread hate rhetoric, dangerous conspiracy theories, and misogyny.
	And there it is.
	That's why the one apology will never work.
	I don't think he's ever done anything like that.
	He's only ever pointed out the truth.
	I hate Meghan Markle.
	That's a conspiracy theory.
	Yes.
	Between myself and her.
	The conspiracy of one, yes.
	I do hate her.
	Ah, you've been foiled again, Clarkson.
	No, it's nonsense because what happens when you apologise is they go, oh, okay, great, we've got wiggle room then.
	Alright, apologise for existing.
	We moved to sentencing.
	You've been found guilty.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Basically, it's just an admission of guilt in the court of public opinion.
	So never do it, because you're not guilty.
	You're just speaking the truth.
	Clarkson, there is no need to apologise.
	You are obviously just joking.
	And it's just performative.
	All of the outrage that's come off the back of it.
	But the likely reason that he actually did the apology in the first place is because of the fact that he's doing his beer...
	Hawkstone, and it turns out the business partner that he has on Hawkstone Beer, a man called Johnny Hornby, if we go to the next article, this Daily Mail one, is on the board of Prince Harry's charity, Sentable.
	So it was actually Johnny Hornby basically forced him to do the apology.
	Also because...
	I think it was a crap about Prince Harry's charity.
	Hawkstone Lager's a wake hauler.
	Yeah, well, Hawkstone Lager was also going to get pulled from a bunch of pubs because of the claims.
	So, he was like, okay, right, we don't want to lose money on this investment, so you've got to make the apology just so we can stop it getting pulled.
	Well, keep it getting pulled in the pubs.
	God, so dumb.
	Imagine being a pub where you said bad things about Meghan Markle.
	Her name is mud in this country.
	Everyone hates her.
	The fact that there is even a single pub in this country that wants to stick up for Meghan Markle so much that they're willing to get rid of...
	I wouldn't go to the pub anymore.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Oh, you've pulled Jeremy Clarkson's beer.
	You were serving it, but you don't do it.
	Oh, goodbye.
	I'll take my business elsewhere.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, there's no other pubs in the country.
	Especially in the rural countryside, where you can literally be in the middle of nowhere in the English rural countryside, miles away from anywhere, and there will be a pub around the corner.
	And that's why this is a glorious and beautiful country, as far as I'm concerned.
	I'm wrong.
	No, no, I'm not wrong at all.
	I'm right, as always.
	There is a petition out there.
	Last time I looked, it was almost at 40k signatures, but now it's gone past 50k signatures.
	Let's get to 75,000.
	Just because he's also, I think he's hosting Who Wants to Be a Millionaire right now, from what I've read.
	And as you can see, the Free Speech Union are the ones who made this.
	They continue it.
	They actually wrote a really good little piece underneath it.
	If you scroll down, John, they've basically written a little letter, a little essay, explaining why it's stupid, because ITV's CEO wants to get rid of him, supposedly, so they're like, this is stupid.
	The point in this being that making public support publicly visible so that no one can claim that, oh, he's not liked or something, it's like, no, demonstrably, he is in the favour of the public.
	So I think it was 60 MPs wrote a letter accusing Clarkson of expressing violent hate speech, and that's what they say in here.
	But the only people I've seen be annoyed at Clarkson for the column in the first place were other members of the media and MPs.
	No normal person...
	The very elite.
	Yes, no normal person was annoyed at that.
	Most normal people probably read it and went, yes, yes, rightfully so, sir.
	As is your public duty, if you are English.
	If you are English, it is your public duty to desire to be one of those people flinging excrements at Meghan Markle in the middle of the street.
	That's your definition of R.U. New citizenship test.
	How much car will cut out of Meghan?
	Here you go.
	Go on, throw it.
	Go on, get right in there.
	Don't be afraid.
	I know you want to.
	But at least two of the signatories of this MP's letter, they point out, have used similarly intemperate language themselves, including Callum's girlfriend, Claudia Webb, who was found guilty of harassment in 2021.
	I want to throw excrement at Meghan Markle.
	I want to throw acid at my ex-husband.
	This is perfectly fine and acceptable.
	We are a liberal society.
	We don't want to restrict your freedom, Claudia.
	I can't remember the exact details of the acid throwing.
	Yeah, having been accused of throwing acid at her partner's lover, among other things, if that reminds you of anything, while Zahra Sultana, MP, sent a tweet telling someone whose views on Israel she disagreed with to jump off a cliff.
	Was it Sultana was also the one who liked the stay quiet for the sake of diversity?
	Which one was that?
	No, that was Nash Shah.
	She's probably written the letter also.
	But Sultana is the baby of the house.
	I believe she was the one.
	Oh no, that's Nadia Widom who's even dumber.
	The British squad.
	There's a hierarchy of retardation among these people.
	Yeah, they're all in their 20s, all completely brain-lots, and a few of them have had to take time off being an MP, because it's just too much.
	Like, I think, what was it?
	She died three months off for mental health reasons, and it was just like...
	All paid for by the taxpayer, I'm sure.
	She wasn't doing anything excessive either.
	Her reason for why she had mental health problems was she had to answer a whole 60 emails a day.
	I was like, alright.
	You became an MP. What did you think?
	People weren't going to write to you?
	I mean, I would expect that.
	That's like the minimum to expect from an MP. Surely.
	So your whole job is representation.
	People keep writing to you.
	And let's be honest, most of those emails will be stock questions that you will be...
	And your staff take care of them.
	Yeah, you'll just get your staff, or you'll just get a little script that you can copy and paste into it.
	I've done that sort of thing before, obviously not MP work, but answering emails is a very easy job.
	And she pushed her to the point of PTSD, she said.
	If you're answering 60 emails a day, you can get that done in about three hours.
	Anyway, and they also point out, A good point, but I think one of the reasons it came down particularly hard against Clarkson is that he has never been one to toe the line or just stick to the narrative.
	So he's always been very outspoken.
	So that very fact, they just saw this as an opportunity.
	This is just completely performative and opportunistic.
	But instead of just lying down and taking all of this, Jeremy Clarkson decided, instead of just making inflammatory statements, he was going to write this particular column for the Times, where he just points out exactly what's going on.
	We're in the middle of a massive leftist coup.
	He does ask who's behind it.
	Who the hell's behind it, so I can't wait for this particular article to be denounced as anti-Semitism, but let's read it anyway.
	Coup.
	A coup?
	You said coop.
	Did I say coop?
	Bloody hell.
	The chicken coop.
	There's a coop here and someone's behind it.
	There's a leftist coop in my farm, says Clarkson.
	He just starts killing chickens.
	Oh, I can't wait for season three.
	Oh, that's going to be amazing when that comes around.
	This one only lays red eggs.
	You go to Diddly Squat Farm Shop, you've got the heads of the chicken impaled on the outside.
	Let this be a warning to you.
	Little signs are on their necks.
	Just say what they've done wrong.
	A communist.
	Anyway, so I'll just read through some of this, because it's a really good article, and he's very on the money about some things.
	He even puts forward some imagery that I know Carl was particularly fond of when he read this.
	So, my son came over for a father and son pre-football supper the other day, and as he fussed over the agger...
	Am I pronouncing that right?
	You're the one with the football, brother, so I assume you'll know.
	Alright, okay.
	The agger.
	Making a particularly fine stir-fry.
	Oh, I think that might be a rich person thing, an agger.
	Who knows?
	We laughed about what innocuous word had been banned that day, and who'd been cancelled.
	And then, after a pause, he said with a solemn face, You do know there's a war going on, don't you?
	That's right.
	That's right, Clarkson's son.
	Radicalize the boomers.
	That's what we need to do.
	I'd love his son to go, you know, Dad, Jeremy, have you ever read this Evola guy?
	He makes some great points.
	Could you imagine that?
	He was talking about a full-on left-wing campaign to unstitch and burn the fabric of Britain, and the genius is that no one really knows that what they're doing is serious.
	We laugh as they change the name of the Sir Francis Drake Primary School to something less slave-y.
	We think it's all a big joke, but it isn't.
	Think about what typically happens in a military operation, and then look what the woke left has done here.
	It seized control of our television and radio stations to such an extent that last week Sophie Raworth said, on the BBC News at 6 with a straight face, and now over to our LGBT and diversity correspondent...
	I think we missed this particular clip, didn't we?
	They've just got their own correspondent.
	Yeah, they've had it for a while.
	Oh, really?
	Do they just talk to them about gay stuff?
	Queer stuff, not gay stuff.
	Queer stuff.
	We've got an awfully queer story for you.
	It would be really funny if it was a really upper-class, old-style gentleman who was forced to do that as his job, to be the LGBT correspondent.
	Yeah.
	That would be subversive brilliance.
	So, when was the last time you saw a fictional police force hunting down a gang of Muslim extremists?
	It's always the far right.
	It's the same story in comedy.
	Say anything you like about Boris or Rishi and the laughter track is turned up to 11.
	Make a joke about she-him pronouns or Greta Thunberg and they'll blow a piece of tumbleweed across the stage.
	I mean, he's basically just pointing out the obvious.
	The TV is propaganda.
	Yeah, the TV is propaganda.
	But it is nice to see somebody of Jeremy Clarkson's clout do this, because in the same way that we've pointed out that people will see what's on TV, whatever the pundits on QI say, or have we got news for you, that must just be the truth.
	People look at Jeremy Clarkson in a similar way.
	Do you have any idea how edited that stuff is?
	No, I don't, actually.
	Like, have I got news for you?
	I've been told that, what is it, like 45 minutes run time.
	You'll film for like two to three hours sometimes.
	Just because there's so much that's not funny.
	Oh, I bet.
	It's an actual crap show, but you cut down the least non-boring bits.
	When I was in university, they did keep offering us free tickets to go to...
	Next door was BBC and ITV and all of these places.
	And they just, they sold the tickets for these shows online, like Jeremy Kyle show and stuff like that.
	Nobody wanted to go see them.
	Nobody wanted to be in the audience.
	So they would always have, like, dozens of free tickets left over afterwards, and they would just try and fob them off to the students, like, there's 50 extra seats in the Jeremy Kyle audience tonight.
	Do you want?
	Please take them.
	And that's because, like you say, these shows are so heavily edited that actually experiencing them live is just going to be rubbish.
	Why would you do it?
	I think it's a deal or no deal.
	They actually have to get the audience drunk.
	Really?
	Yeah, an old physics professor of mine, he mentioned that his son was on there.
	There's a beautiful clip of his son going, like the last box.
	But of course, it's boring as hell, because they're just opening boxes.
	So they just give everyone free whiskey.
	That's a brilliant point.
	They're just opening boxes, guys.
	So, I mean, when you think about it, yeah, of course the audience are all plastered.
	They're all sad.
	They're just like, oh, then they know they've got to play the game.
	And that makes sense as to why they always cheer when the sign lights up.
	Because, like, I don't think a bored...
	You can't do it unless you're drunk.
	A bored, sober audience, they see the sign light up and they're just going to sit there and, like, I wouldn't be surprised if you got some people just, like, flipping off the sign.
	Just like, screw you!
	But yeah, like I say, there's the idea of if Sandy Toksvig said it, it must be true.
	So can we get, if Jeremy Clarkson said it, it must be true as well.
	Because he's similarly in that upper echelon of the UK media sphere, shockingly.
	And they keep trying to cancel him.
	Hopefully, this one probably won't stick.
	It never seems to stick on Clarkson.
	He just lets it roll off his back.
	Yeah, I mean, even if they do cancel Clarkson's farm, he's got enough money, he'll just restart the show.
	Yeah, he'll just find a different network who are willing to make millions and millions of dollars to support the show instead.
	But he does say here, who's doing the erasing, who's making the rules, that's just it, we don't have a clue.
	And this is where Clarkson needs to make an appearance on Lotus Eaters, because goddammit, we can educate him as to who's doing this.
	But once again, him just asking who's doing this, I guess we don't know.
	This will be a cue, this will be...
	I mean, this article will be foisted by the ADL within time, but obviously it's the arch-managerial class.
	Gates, Blair, WEF, Stooges, Soros...
	Anyone mentioned in that Tucker Carlson article?
	Yeah, anybody in that Tucker Carlson article like, who's they, Tucker, while Tucker stands in front of the rogues gallery of who they are?
	The New York Times are like, is it the Jews, Tucker?
	I mean, there's a few Jews, but they're not all of them.
	Come on.
	You can see the ones that are Jewish and not.
	They've got the names.
	You can check the early lives.
	What do you want?
	He carries on saying, Excuse me.
	Monty Python joked in the Spanish Inquisition that there was a crime of heresy by thought, but today it's a reality.
	And yeah, this is a really good article from Clarkson.
	It kind of makes up for the fact that he apologised because he obviously apologised for purely self-serving, please keep serving my beer reasons.
	But then he comes out and says this, and hopefully some of the boomers will read this and understand a bit better what's going on.
	And speaking of people who want to destroy the UK, and this is the exact kind of person...
	He may consider himself conservative, but this is the exact kind of person that Clarkson is talking about who wants to destroy the UK, with his transing of children position as well.
	That's Tom Harwood saying, South East England is full, implying that all of these beautiful fields and farmland that is probably actually being used, except Tom is too much of a midwit to understand.
	Oh no, it's just wasteland.
	Oh yeah, it's just wasteland.
	This is just completely rural, no one's doing anything.
	This would be much better as a massive concrete block.
	Which it wouldn't.
	But yeah, Clarkson's in trouble.
	It won't stick, as always.
	But please, please don't cancel Clarkson's Farm.
	It's great.
	It's great.
	Just don't.
	I'm really going to miss Clarkson's Farm.
	They'll do it.
	He'll just do it himself.
	Make a YouTube show.
	Who cares?
	They've got Series 2 and 3 coming.
	And it's not like Amazon has cancelled something before and it's just been thrown off to the ether.
	Someone else will pick it up.
	Let's talk about why don't you earn a gun, you commie bat- No.
	I'm not allowed to swear in the first 15 seconds, thank you, YouTube.
	And, uh, so, this is a question, which seems pretty obvious, which is, uh, if you're a commie, why wouldn't you earn a gun?
	Wait, you're meant to be doing this whole kill the bourgeoisie revolution thingy, I would have thought, so- It's explicitly a violent revolution.
	Yeah, there's that quote that gets used by Marxists all the time to be like, did you know Karl Marx supported the Second Amendment?
	And it's a comment from him saying that the gun should be taken under no circumstances.
	But they failed to mention that if you go to marxism.org and read the full speech, it's him talking about the gun shouldn't be taken away from the revolutionaries.
	Not everyone.
	Well, it's not pro-Second Amendment at all.
	I mean, that's just classic Marxist friend-enemy thinking.
	Yeah, very basic.
	but we'll start it off just by mentioning something of lowseers.com being the tragedy of liberation the start of the trilogy of the communist party of china's takeover of china and then the um undoing of it frankly have you seen recently there's been a video going around of a dad is honestly very wholesome and sweet teaching his little boy how to use a gun properly like teaching him how to holster it and such and leftists were going absolutely crazy over it saying oh this is so evil i can't believe these people think they're safeguarding children when they're teaching them how to use guns and it's like yeah
	they are safeguarding them - From you.
	if you mean that child harm- You're going to die.
	So, I mean, if you want to teach someone to actually be safe, yeah, self-defense is safe.
	I don't know what's complex about that.
	I don't know.
	Well, it's because they look at it and they just see gun...
	Well, they don't see gun as evil.
	They see gun as my tool to kill counter-revolutionaries.
	And, well, the Maoist guys certainly did need their guns.
	Well, we'll start off with what the hell I'm talking about, which is this is Twitter thread that I saw that came up.
	It's kind of old.
	You see 21 there.
	But it's a guy asking, if you're a communist in America, why do you not own a gun?
	And the reason I had to do this segment...
	At the first sentence below, a lot of you are poor.
	But if you go to the next one here, the reason I had to do this is because of this.
	After reading it, this was the state I was in.
	This was you.
	And everyone else who read the goddamn responses, because they're hilarious from the internet commies and the absolute state of those people just self-reporting themselves.
	We'll start off with the first one here, being...
	Because guns are for weak people.
	Hmm.
	And make a devastating, life-changing decision too easy?
	Like, what?
	What are you talking about, communist revolutionary?
	Name to me three jacked revolutionary communists.
	Yeah, they totally used baseball bats to take over China and Cuba.
	Yeah, I think the Berkeley bike lot guy, he was just really strong the whole time.
	Like, no.
	No, he was a coward.
	These people are cowards.
	Also the idea that all the Soviets were all buff chads who would just walk their way and start fist punching all the guys with guns.
	I don't know, I've seen some pictures of Putin back in the day.
	He's not- what?
	Him riding the horse, topless, it's glorious.
	Alright, number one, he wasn't in the Russian Revolution.
	Number two, he's not a communist.
	He's running the Russian Federation.
	Yeah, everyone was.
	That doesn't mean you're a commie.
	That was close enough.
	But also the idea that if you met the KGB, you'd be like, guns are for weak people.
	Very interesting.
	Face the wall.
	No more of that.
	There's also the next big response I saw, which is, um, guns are scary.
	This one.
	That might be the most honest response to this question I've ever seen.
	When you say, why don't you support the Second Amendment?
	I don't like it, guns are scary.
	It wasn't about the Second Amendment.
	Because remember, these people are going to overthrow and kill everyone who runs the United States and then rewrite the Constitution.
	Well, yeah.
	But the logic still follows.
	No, the logic is, why do you not own a gun?
	Presumably for the revolution.
	And he just goes, they're scary.
	I'm scared.
	Also, no money.
	No bitches.
	I'm broke, I don't like them, and they're scary.
	Okay, okay, Leto.
	You're literally going to do nothing with your life then.
	Can you imagine being someone who dedicates their life to revolutionary violent ideology, and then is like, yeah, but I'm scared of violence.
	What are you planning?
	You are actually worthless.
	Your own ideology is worthless to begin with.
	You fail at that point.
	But then you're not even going to carry through the mad thing that you say you profess.
	So, I mean, what are you doing?
	Anyway.
	We have the next one, which is I live with Mummy.
	So, yeah, he doesn't own a gun.
	For that reason.
	Wait, not just because he lives with Mum, but because my Mum says I can't have guns.
	Mummy says no.
	Because I live with my anti-gun mum.
	Just all the responses of people laughing at this guy.
	And she will fully kick me the F out if I buy one.
	And yeah, as you're rightly pointing out, if you scroll down, everyone will be like, are you real?
	Are you for real, man?
	Of course you live with your mum.
	Fortunately for me, my mother was carrying guns even as younger as a teenager.
	Surely if you're a feminist against male violence, you want to advocate female gun ownership.
	No, because the communist solution to this is that women deserve it, which is a hell of an argument.
	It's not your body, it's our body, comrade.
	There's the next one, which is the biggest, most popular ones.
	I'm too poor.
	Of course you all are.
	You don't have a job, so how are you going to buy a gun?
	I don't know how expensive guns are in America generally.
	I mean, it seems pretty easy to get one.
	On a price point basis?
	Yeah, they're not as expensive as you expect them to be when I've seen people talk about it.
	Like, being English, you grow up and you just assume, I don't know, a grand each, or ten grand, or I don't know.
	I could probably, if I became an American citizen, I could probably afford a pistol, easy enough.
	I see people talking about it, like, you can get to them for, like, 150 bucks, or, like, I've seen, what was the guy in the gold tier Zoom call all back?
	Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
	Like, his shotgun was 150 bucks or something.
	I'm just like, oh, I'd take a shotgun for 150 bucks.
	Like, my airsoft rifle costs more than that.
	So, yeah, the idea of too poor.
	Okay, right.
	The next biggest response was, I'm a felon.
	What?
	Yeah, yeah, funnily enough, a lot of the anti-far...
	I had to sell mine when I caught a felon.
	Well, actually, yeah, that makes perfect sense.
	A lot of the anti-far types who have been firebombing the police and then got, you know, felony charges.
	I'm just honestly shocked these people got far enough into the charges to be branded a felon.
	Yeah, I love the response here.
	Black powder revolvers are still legal for felons.
	Here's how you can get away with it, comrade.
	I get to the musket just as the felon father's intended.
	I love that meme.
	You see that one?
	You know what I'm talking about?
	Which one?
	Is it the one where it's like I can carry around my cannon like the Founding Fathers intended?
	No, no, it's people talking about the Second Amendment.
	It's like, three rapscallions broke into my house the other day.
	I pulled out the pistol and fired a shot.
	Missed them all and set off to the neighbour's dock.
	Anyway, grabbed my musket, threw a hole through the first one, mounted the stairs to the cannon with grape shots and blew the rest of them out.
	Fixed bayonets and finished the last one off.
	With, I believe, what is it?
	A triangle bayonet?
	So you can't stitch the wound?
	Just as the founding fathers intended.
	America used to be a real country.
	Yeah, now what is it?
	Can't buy a gun to get my felon.
	To be fair, taking guns away from communists is always a good idea.
	Unless you get revolution.
	I'm fully on board for just, like, no excuses, second amendment, except for communists.
	Well, yeah, I mean, when you're dealing with a group that openly say our fundamental goal is to overthrow you violently and institute our revolution, I mean, like them, the Islamists, like, on a de facto basis, like, you are literally saying, I'm a terrorist, I just haven't done it yet.
	It's like, huh.
	No guns for you.
	I'm with Singapore on this.
	I've found the limitations.
	I would say it's infringing your rights, but you're not exactly human.
	Yeah, we were discussing this earlier, but Singapore has a lot of things right, and dealing with revolutionaries is one of them.
	The next most common one, though, and the reason I had to do this, mental health.
	All of them were just like...
	And they're all just nuts anyway.
	Yeah, but it's so rare for them to get to say that.
	But you can see ACAB, for cutie, hammer and sickle account here, just goes, mental health, that's why I don't have a gun.
	I could have guessed that.
	We're all mentally ill.
	Every single one of us.
	If these people got hold of a gun, are other people more in danger, or are they more in danger?
	Yeah.
	Let's go to the next one here, because I recognize the importance, but it's not a good idea in our house for health reasons.
	Mental health reasons, obviously.
	Which is that someone's going to blow their own brains out, because you're not mentally well.
	Also, you're a communist.
	No coincidences in this world.
	Callum, I've got a genius idea of how to solve America's communist problem.
	Give them all guns!
	Give them all guns!
	Yeah, you're selling it to me.
	Let's go to the next one here.
	You can see, what were that?
	Mental health issues?
	From Sonny...
	Actually, can we go back a couple?
	Let's play a game, shall we?
	Alright.
	John, my old mucker.
	Let's hover over the account of each one of these and go to their names.
	Alright, are we going to find pronouns?
	Yeah, let's go to the mental health one first.
	The start of the mental health.
	That's where I'd like to begin.
	Alright, okay.
	Let's hover over it.
	Pronouns?
	He, him!
	So that's one point.
	And gay.
	24 saucy gay and chaotic stupid.
	Let's stick at the pronouns only, for people who are saying they're mentally ill.
	Alright, okay.
	And I think I've got ten.
	So, um...
	We'll use that as a percentage.
	So this is 10% already.
	We're declaring it.
	Okay.
	Next one.
	Let's try this one.
	No.
	No pronouns.
	No pronouns.
	Frog admirer, though.
	That might be a euphemism.
	Don't know about that one.
	Let's go to the next one here.
	Let's try that one.
	It's the mental health issues from Sunny Gloom.
	Non-binary, they, she.
	20%.
	20% of them mentally ill.
	Okay, alright.
	Next one.
	Let's play this.
	Suicide prevention.
	Okay.
	No pronouns there.
	No, no, no.
	Okay.
	So we're two for two.
	Two for two.
	Next one here.
	Because I'm more likely to use it myself than anyone else.
	Says leftist 18 plus only.
	They, them.
	It's not even they, them.
	It's they, them, me.
	They, them, me.
	It's like femme fatale, they're a them fatale.
	Except you're a woman.
	What does this person have to say?
	They say they're most likely to use it on themselves.
	If you take the curse away there for a minute.
	I would be more likely to use it on myself than anybody else.
	Guns are straight up a liability for some of us.
	First response, you should have one.
	Oh, brutal!
	So we're three for five.
	Yep, yep.
	Let's go to the next one here.
	There we are.
	Lake Creature.
	He Neos.
	What if that means?
	I think he thinks he's a Matrix character.
	Okay.
	Alright, so what are we on now?
	Trans-loved ones can call me she.
	Okay, so they're anything.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Four to two.
	No, so we're four for six.
	That's the next one here.
	Okay.
	Let's see more of that.
	Because I'm afraid of what I might do to myself.
	There it is.
	He, him.
	Straight away.
	He, him in the bio.
	Always a nice giveaway.
	42 years old as well.
	I'm sure you're doing well with your life.
	Yeah, let's go to the next one here.
	Let's keep playing the game.
	Suicide!
	She, her.
	Another one in the basket for my tally.
	Also vegan.
	Might have something to do with the suicidal thoughts.
	Always keeps happening.
	There's always more than one, isn't there?
	I mean, we're just playing the pronouns game today, but I mean, there's always more.
	It's vegan socialist.
	Let's go to the next one here.
	Let's see what more.
	Oh god, it's in the name.
	Yeah, there we go, right in the handle.
	Let's take a look at the bio anyway, why not?
	Just see what's in there.
	Schizoaffective, bipolar type, narrow divergent, trying my best, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, mentally ill.
	Okay!
	Self-confessed.
	Trying your best?
	Not good enough.
	And she says, because I'm severely mentally ill, I can tell, love, and I would for sure use it on myself.
	I would go through phases I don't like having scissors or anything accessible to me.
	Oh, for God!
	Jesus Christ!
	I will hide nail clippers from myself.
	So you can't even...
	You can't even do sewing.
	You need safety scissors.
	So this is actual mental patient who has to live in a padded cell telling us that...
	Uh, no.
	I feel sorry for this person's mum who is probably still raising them.
	Yeah, let's go to the next one.
	Because, uh...
	Because I'm mentally ill, I would shoot myself.
	Hammer and sickle and trans, I'm feeling lucky...
	Oh, there we go.
	There we are.
	So that's 80%.
	Oh, we've got a famous...
	We've got one of the rare it pronouns as well.
	She, it, they.
	Miners do not...
	I don't want to know.
	Leninist twink wife.
	Alright, okay.
	Okay, okay.
	My lovely grindcore gun...
	No, I don't need to know any more of this.
	Well, that's my sample taken of communists who say they won't have guns, and 80% of them are mentally ill.
	I think that probably expands to those who have the guns as well.
	Well, I mean, 100% of them are mentally ill.
	Eight of them just display it proudly in their bios.
	The comments are so mean.
	I'd probably use it on myself.
	Seems about right.
	I mean, how else are you supposed to react to these morons?
	Yeah, all these people are like, I'm going to overthrow the system, but I can't have a gun because I'll shoot myself.
	Yeah, of course you will.
	And there's a compilation someone made of these as well, just the last thing for this.
	I have to read two of these that weren't in there, which are just hilarious.
	All right.
	Number one being highly sensitive ears.
	As to the reason why he won't own a gun.
	It's too loud.
	Earmuffs are a thing, but okay.
	Too loud.
	I can't kill the bourgeoisie, you're hooded.
	Anyway, another person says, because I am 11.
	Average internet communist.
	11 years old.
	Going strong.
	Oh yeah.
	We joke, but we did the Labour Party abridged thing.
	I think it was last year, this actual child turned up, because I think the Labour Party lets 12-year-olds join.
	I wonder why.
	No other party does that, just to be clear.
	Not groomy at all.
	Every other party in the country, I think, except the Greens and the Labour Party.
	There it is!
	Because I'm 11, broken heart.
	At like 18 plus only, whereas the Labour Party had some children.
	And the children turned up, and one of them in a sheet gave a speech which is, I'm so tired of the Tories!
	And everyone claps and it's the cringiest thing I've ever felt.
	You've watched Blackadder, right?
	Yeah.
	Have you watched the one where it's in the Victorian era and Pitt the Younger shows up and he's an actual school student and he's like...
	He makes her look mature.
	Yeah, because he just gets up and he goes, We need to stand up against the tyranny of my geography teacher!
	Yeah, it's actually that, except it's a real political party.
	We'll get the last one here because someone did learn something, as they list.
	They say a few things reading all of this.
	Communism and mental illness go hand in hand.
	All of you are so useless to the point that it's a wonder you're evil able to breathe without 24-7 assistance.
	To counter your little revolt, all we need to do is block the supply of antidepressants.
	It's true.
	No?
	Antidepressants became a modern thing in the West.
	All of a sudden, a number of communists has gone up.
	Just pop a like on that one for me there.
	Because it's a funny comment.
	Anyway, the last thing to mention here is just a couple more.
	Someone says, not sure how you're going to sub local cooperatives without the guns.
	Pretty sure you need money and labour willingness to do that because the original poster is just like...
	But I mean, they are all 11.
	Yeah, but the original poster is just like, bro, are you actually taking communists seriously?
	Where he's like, dude, we need co-ops and etc.
	We need guns to be able to do this.
	Oh yeah, and then he's like, oh, it's not about the co-ops, guys.
	It's just about overthrowing the state, bro.
	Yeah, but also the state.
	Look at that series of flags.
	The hell does any of that have to do with each other?
	Just hates America.
	Palestine, Pan-Africa.
	We've got Haiti, Palestine, well I think it's actually like Pan-Arab cars technically.
	And then you've got South Africa, what is that?
	Bolivia, Cuba, Iraq, Afghanistan, Cambodia.
	The natural alliance of the world.
	Are these all of the voices this person hears in his head?
	Because that's schizo, man.
	Should we play the game again?
	Alright, go on.
	Come on, John.
	Does he have pronouns in the bio?
	No!
	But he does have ACAB. And he's a vegan.
	And the Extinction Rebellion.
	There you go.
	Occupy Big Oil.
	Okay, he's still mentally ill.
	I think there's pronouns somewhere in that head of his.
	I bloody hope so, with everything else going on in there.
	Someone else ended off with saying, I want to thank all the respondents to this thread.
	I was most certain all modern communists were sad nerds, but this gave him the confirmation that I brutally needed.
	Yeah, I'm going to let this off with just the fact that the meme is definitely real, if you can look at the last link I put in there, because there is a long stunning meme that all the communists are brainwashed, and, well, it's visible.
	No evidence or proof of that.
	Except photographic evidence, which has emerged.
	Oh my, oh it is!
	Yeah, the meme is actually real.
	I wonder if we can make her bigger, just, well, we could try and, it's big enough.
	But we can see...
	I don't think you have to try hard to make her bigger.
	Black Lives Matter, trans lives with a gun, LGBT colours, more trans logos on the magazine of the gun.
	She's wearing some kind of...
	I think there's a sleeve or a scarf with a trans flag poking out behind the gun.
	Brainwashed medical illness is a real thing that we are able to measure, and we are able to measure it by the game we just played.
	So, that's that.
	Let's go to the video comments.
	Regarding your segment on January 24th about the WEF fears, I think it's very important to point out that the WEF is intentionally pushing us towards global starvation and famine in their war on carbon dioxide.
	Our food is grown from plants that take their carbon dioxide from the air.
	If you get rid of the carbon dioxide in the air, you can't produce as much food.
	They're going to starve us.
	Yeah, makes sense to me.
	The WEF are a very creepy group of people.
	So, yeah.
	I don't know.
	Have you seen Mark Rufo's response to the whole focus on the WEF? Because I kind of agree with him.
	The endless focus on them.
	It's good to know what they're up to.
	They're an important cog in the machine and in the cathedral.
	And obviously, trying to run the world as a group of elite supervillains.
	But I think Rufo was right with the endless focus on them.
	I don't find very productive.
	Because there's not much you can do.
	Did you mean Chris Rufo, by the way?
	Yeah, sorry.
	I was confused for a moment there.
	Mixed random names off my head.
	At the end of the day, they are basically just another place for elites to meet up and discuss what they're planning on doing to screw everybody over.
	The fact that it's the most public, the most visible one, is why you get so many eyes on it.
	But if the World Economic Forum closed down today without getting rid of all of those elites...
	I mean, they'd just find another forum that they can use to discuss all of these ideas.
	But my point in my head is more, what can I do about that?
	And it's less than zero.
	Mm-hmm.
	With the local corrupt politicians...
	Jack Posobiec can go and annoy them.
	Yeah, stuff like that.
	But we can do far more on our own turf, and I think Rufo is right about that.
	It's good to know what they're up to.
	It's good to know what's coming down the pipeline.
	Don't get me wrong.
	But the obsession, I think, is a bit too much.
	I'm just saying that broadly, the industry is obviously...
	You're right, we don't agree with what they're doing, but at the same time just constantly pointing to them and going, World Economic Forum.
	Yeah, there's this tendency I've seen of people trying to explain everything via them.
	It's like, okay, maybe, but...
	They're a symptom.
	They're not the cause.
	Go to the next one.
	In California, a 72-year-old Asian man committed a mass shooting, though not much is known why.
	It does seem to me he was lonely and ignored and he had nothing left to lose.
	You won't hear much on his demographics because they aren't lefty-friendly, but they might ignore his race and say it was another Asian hate attack.
	In a street interview, Gavin Newsom calls for more gun control trashing the Second Amendment while being shadowed by three guards.
	Come on, plebs!
	You can't afford a bodyguard?!
	Yep.
	I've seen that interview as an athlete.
	I know there are a lot of people who aren't self-aware, but come on.
	You're literally walking down the street with three guys and their sunglasses and their pistol.
	Well, no, I don't think that is a sign of non-self-awareness for Newsom.
	He knows exactly what he's doing.
	He knows exactly what he is.
	That's the point.
	I get protection.
	You don't, pleb.
	That's what it is.
	Yeah, next one.
	Happy Australia Day, everyone at the Lotus Eaters.
	Really glad to be in this country where I can own my own property and people will just leave me alone.
	Australians, oh let us rejoice, for we are young and free.
	We golden soil and wealth for toil, our home is good.
	I was waiting for that.
	Celebrate Australia Day in the only way that you know how by going to cscooper.com.au What's your thoughts on the Australian National Anthem?
	I've not got any real thoughts on the Australian National Anthem.
	Are they trying to change it from saying Young and Free to One and Free?
	Because that's pretty gay.
	I think it's just a pronunciation.
	It's pretty queer.
	But I think it was Knowledge Hub, Cody or whatever, he did a video going over all the world's national anthems.
	A lot of them are bland.
	I don't know, I'm just not a fan of the Australian.
	I feel like they could do better.
	Shots fired.
	I don't know, it's fine, but it's just...
	Very naughty.
	I think something about...
	I think CS Cooper has just pulled a subscription from that.
	I'm...
	I'm thinking just, like, what could we do that's, uh...
	That's coming out of your paycheck, Cal.
	Improving.
	That's all that's on my mind.
	Yeah, sure.
	Anyway, I look forward to...
	30 quid, that's coming out of your paycheck.
	I look forward to the hate.
	That's it, I'm not even hating on the anthem, I just...
	He is.
	He is.
	It's like, you heard the Polish one?
	You should hear him when he's not on camera, it's so...
	Just ranting about strength!
	Yep.
	You've heard the Polish national anthem?
	No, I haven't.
	It's not good enough.
	Ha!
	Poland, you deserve better.
	Yeah, you do.
	It's nice, but it's just like...
	You've been through worse than...
	You've gone through such hell, I feel like the anthem should be more epic.
	You should have For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica.
	That should be your anthem.
	Because that's appropriately epic.
	Through the fire and flames, Dragonforce.
	I'm making all these references that you've no idea about.
	Someone's like, well, we could change it to Waltzing Matilda if that would make you happier.
	I'm like, no, I don't know.
	It's a good song.
	Change it to Night on Bald Mountain from Fantasia.
	Now that's epic.
	Go to the next video comment.
	Sorry this video comments a little late, but how long do you think it's gonna be until companies figure out they can just make an artificial e-girl?
	I mean, this little toy here is from the late 2000s.
	Imagine what can be done with chatbot AIs, robot technologies, or heck, even AI image generation technologies.
	That's really perfect, I think.
	What are you doing with that doll?
	Why did you use this doll as an example for like, oh, imagine what they're going to do with eagles, artificial eagles in the future.
	Look at this little toy you have!
	The artificial eagles won't work.
	The Japs have tried this.
	There have been advertisements popping up all over, I was speaking to a proper horror show about this the other day, for something called Replica AI. Yeah, I keep doing crappy meme adverts.
	Yeah, those meme adverts where it's like, I can be your friend.
	I can even be more than a friend.
	And it's creepy, it's weird, it's kind of sad and desperate, but you know that there is a few people out there.
	It's not actually as good, though.
	Like, they're real eagles.
	Yes!
	Yes, you're right.
	AI girls are not as good as real girls.
	No, but we were talking about this because there has been a big aesthetic change.
	We'll start in the 90s and the 2000s, the representation of beautiful women or how women are used for visual attention, right?
	And we were talking about the fact that you'd have these girls who show a bit of their tits and their ass or whatever, and that's the grid girls or the ringside girls that come in and hold the round three or whatever, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	And then you have the new era where anime becomes a thing in the West and then the artificial...
	What was that thing called?
	With the big green hair?
	I can't remember the damn name.
	I don't know what you're on about.
	There's some visual eagles, essentially, in Japanese culture that were all fake computer goals.
	There's one.
	Oh my god.
	They made a guitar pedal out of it.
	Anyway, that was the thing.
	Anime guitar pedal.
	But, like, none of this is as good as the real-life women who have essentially decided that they're gonna...
	The Miku stomp.
	Yeah, whatever that is.
	Yeah, the Miku girl.
	She was the Japanese animated E-girl, and you could get a guitar pedal, the Miku pedal, that literally would make all of your guitar...
	Playing sound like her is very funny.
	But that is never going to be able to compete with a real woman who has also learnt how to use the modern technology of the eagle.
	I don't know, there's no guitar pedal that makes my guitar sound like my missus.
	She's not getting anywhere near as much attention.
	That's a strike against her.
	My point is, if you wanted to market your product and you were deciding to embrace the eagle market strategy, then...
	As you are thinking about dipping your toe into it.
	Um, I need work.
	No, my point is that the idea of a virtual version of that, I think it's been played and doesn't work, and the real women are far more better at garnering simps.
	Well, yeah.
	Sorry.
	Well, there's just that actual human connection, isn't there?
	Well, potential.
	Well, that's what they're selling you.
	They're selling you the potential of it, and if it's a real person, it's going to work a lot better than if it's an AI construct.
	But then again, what happens when the AI gets to the point where it's difficult to distinguish when you're online?
	Well, that's where you get into the deepfake section.
	What if we just fake women?
	No, seriously.
	We are living in the culture right now that is just faking women, you're right.
	Because there was a Japanese biker who deepfaked himself as a woman on his YouTube channel.
	Got like a million subscribers and then revealed it was a man.
	And of course he lost a lot of the audience because they were- I take that.
	You've been jerking off over me this whole time.
	But the funnier point was that obviously if you're a woman, especially if you're a good-looking woman, you can garner a lot more attention in, let's say, male-dominated spaces very, very quickly.
	It's amazing how quickly.
	I've seen it happen so many times in metal subcultures where it's just all guys and then a girl comes in.
	Boom!
	It's like rabid chimpanzees all of a sudden, I swear.
	This is just another example of the destabilising position of women in society.
	That's the lesson you got from all that.
	It's just like, ban women.
	I'm literally telling you, what if we just make women out of thin air?
	And I'm like, you're right, we need to ban women.
	Okay, okay.
	We'll get the video comments instead.
	So, um...
	Ross Diggle has an important question for me.
	Does he?
	Yes, he asks, why is there a plaster on my head?
	He walked into a doorknob, don't ask.
	Sorry.
	I swear, officer.
	He's a good man, really.
	You haven't told me.
	I've got bug bite on my head.
	A very grotesque bug bite on my head.
	So it's either...
	Klaus Schwab tried to get me in the night with the boobs.
	And they bit back, sadly.
	So it's either I wear a plaster on my head, or you get old to see the grotesque, disgusting lump that's emerged there, and I would rather just have the plaster on my head.
	Thank you for your courtesy.
	You're welcome.
	Well, it's more for my own state of mind anyway.
	I think that would be embarrassing.
	Ross Diggle also says, It's like a day in the life of NHS management.
	That I want to see.
	General Hai Ping says, You know your boss really does think you're a retard.
	If they start theming the rooms around sparklies and pretty colours, especially if the room theme is soft play, and they make you wear a helmet.
	Here, Queen, you dropped your crown and it's a padded helmet.
	It's true.
	I don't know what to do about this, but it's very nice.
	We've got to have that conversation someday.
	I've given up that question.
	The dumbest things in the world, and I don't know why women like them, and I don't know what to do about it.
	Because the thing is, it works, it's right, and I think I've mentioned to you, I've shown you a picture of, in Moscow, like in the rich area, they have a whole street where they get like, it'll be like 20 meters of fairy lights, right?
	You have it dangled down, rip around, and then make a big ball of fairy lights, and then you just have like 10 of those across, going for hundreds of meters.
	It is like one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, but also I feel like a moth.
	Because it's just lights!
	Are you trying to fly into them or something?
	Do you see the big ball of light and you run straight into it?
	You dive into this ball of wires?
	Fairy lights?
	I don't know if that's what I'm going to do.
	John can back me up on this, because he's seen them.
	You remember?
	Next to Red Square, all those goddamn lights.
	Tell me more about these lights, Callum.
	They're in the room with us right now.
	Are there lights right here, Callum?
	Let's see if I can...
	No, that's just a red light.
	God damn it.
	Whatever.
	You're getting a nice insight into the kind of deep intellectual discussions we have off camera.
	Just something in my head about fairy lights has been bugging me.
	So what happened is you saw the fairy light, and the fairy light got transposed into your brain, and now the little moth that lives there just can't get its mind off it.
	No, it's the same with the sparkly things, where it's just like, this design...
	I don't know.
	No thoughts formed yet.
	I live with a woman...
	And as such, I have had to admit defeat on the fairy-like question a long time ago.
	And I think you can understand what I mean when I say that.
	How many rooms do you have in the bathroom as well?
	When she's having an extended bath in there, she will occasionally do such a thing.
	Conquered territory.
	Anyway, Dean Parker says, let's hope the HR departments are next to get the chop.
	Yeah, I hope so too.
	So Snowdog says that this Google layoff video is so wholesome.
	Yeah, I will admit.
	There are probably good guys who do the work and are just there getting layoffed as well, but...
	I don't know.
	We saw what happened to Twitter.
	Yeah, we saw what's happened to Twitter, and I think it just showed how vapid these people are, that they start weeping, they start crying, and immediately switch their phone camera on and start filming themselves and think, this is going to look so great on TikTok later.
	Yeah, I hate to be that guy, but did you notice the gender makeup of Twitter before and after?
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Noticing the same trend.
	It's a mystery, bro.
	Arizona Desert Rat says, maybe they can work in retail.
	No, they wouldn't be able to hack it.
	And then it's all...
	And then someone's crossed out the rest of what you said, so...
	Based Ape says, as someone who has worked in this environment for a decade, the satisfaction I feel from these people getting boosted out on their ass is euphoric.
	Yeah, I knew it.
	There was a guy who did, what is it, corporate downsizing.
	That's his job.
	He's the guy who comes in and fires half of the people.
	Oh, that must be such a good job.
	That's the thing.
	The guy doing the interview was like, how do you deal with that?
	That must be terrible.
	He said, I love my job.
	I bet.
	He was like, what do you mean?
	He was like, there are these people who are parasites in these big corporations who are doing nothing and they're getting paid.
	And he just goes out and just cuts them out.
	And he'll be doing like tens of thousands of people fired.
	He'd be like a doctor cutting out cancer.
	Yeah, he'd be getting rid of whole divisions.
	And he'll be like handpicking who has to go and who has to stay and just being like, yeah, no, I know who's doing nothing.
	And also the satisfaction of the people who have been complaining about that get as well.
	Anyway.
	So, base date, I can absolutely...
	I'm glad we could give you some nice shard and fraud there.
	Radcheck was right, says, as an amateur retard in finance, in Wall Street bets variety, I can tell you that Meta's stonk began to decline the day they changed their company from Facebook to Meta and started talking about the Metaverse.
	Even investors were like, bro, too cringe.
	Yeah, that's 100% true.
	I can't believe they've not gone on just, like, a brand shift back to just being Facebook, because everyone still just calls them Facebook.
	I don't think of them as Meta.
	But also, who were the teams who gave all these...
	Who were the ones doing these products who were then like, this is a great idea, and who were the retards who listened to them and then said, yeah, let's go for it?
	I mean, Mark Zuckerberg's definitely one of them.
	Well, I assume it's the sort of people making those videos.
	They were in between fancy drinks and lattes.
	The dumbest idea of, like, we'll make a visual reality everyone wants to be in.
	You mean Second Life.
	Yeah, yeah, but it's new.
	You mean Second Life.
	Yeah, but it's got worse graphics.
	It's crappy Second Life.
	Nobody wants to live in Second Life.
	Do you remember that image they released from it a few months ago of little avatar Mark Zuckerberg standing in front of, what was it, like, terrible Taj Mahal in front of the old Windows back screen of the grass field?
	It looked bollocks!
	And then there's Second Life.
	Which is crap!
	It's still better than that!
	Can I put VR on and wander around asking if they know any way?
	Yeah, why not?
	Then that's all I need.
	I don't think you can make your own models.
	I won't come across much as like a Second Life.
	It'll be a bit of fun for five minutes and then I'll just leave it alone.
	But you know, okay.
	What's that Daniel YouTube channel?
	People put it in chat because he's quite well known now.
	Is it Daniel from Second Life?
	That's his channel?
	I think he's changed it now to like DSL or something like that.
	He used to go in Second Life and just mess with people.
	It was the funniest stuff I've ever seen.
	Like, he would just go to this one guy and be like, I want to buy a house.
	And the guy would start listing his life story about why Second Life's so great.
	And Daniel would just, like, move back ever so slightly.
	I think I've seen one of those, actually.
	Until he's on the other side of the map and the guy's still going.
	You can still hear him.
	And it's just like, oh, jeez.
	Oh, my God.
	What's wrong with these people?
	Yeah.
	Amazing.
	The letter M says, your workplace reminds you of Disneyland.
	Right.
	Complete with rodents and nonsense as well.
	Desert Rad says, Haha, yeah, you don't get to do that in the real world.
	I've cried after getting laid off, and then I started looking for a new job.
	Because, yeah, I've got things to do.
	I don't have money coming in no more.
	And Brandon Toms says, I think they're laughing at us peasants when they make these TikTok videos.
	Lifestyles of the rich and famous.
	That's a very good point.
	Yeah.
	Please don't remind me of that song.
	Yeah, Jeremy Clarkson.
	Baron Von Warhawk says, Ah yeah, we're going to watch a bunch of losers get fired today.
	Clarkson gets fired.
	Not like this!
	No!
	Yeah.
	I'm going to have to redo the Top Gear intro.
	It's just like, "Tonight, Clarkson tells them to go stuff themselves and gets fired again!" Adrian Bradley is probably not the pubs themselves, it's probably the distributors that are threatening not to stop the beer.
	Much smaller number of them, more centralized, so easily captured by the woke.
	Interesting point, thank you.
	Yeah, that sounds like something he would say.
	Lord Nerevar, "Just signed the Clarkson petition.
	It's a real wake-up call for normies, especially older normies, that Clarkson could be hit by this toxic culture." "Other cancellations in recent months haven't hit them quite as hard as this one because Jezza is a genuine icon of British entertainment and has a monstrously large audience." That's why I'm saying this is going to radicalise the boomers a bit, hopefully.
	To see the red bastard and his Grima worm tongue of a wife take him to...
	I'm going to start calling Prince Harry that now.
	The red bastard!
	No, it's true.
	It works, it works.
	Take him down like this is going to do the exact opposite of build goodwill or gain them support.
	Nobody wants to see Clarkson off Amazon or ITV. It's all about power, so speak truth to it.
	Good point there.
	And Rick Archer says to paraphrase George Carlin, Meghan Markle is openly black.
	She just happens to be white.
	Astute observation right there.
	Those are all the comments for this.
	What are you doing?
	The fairy lights.
	What?
	Still on the fairy lights, are you?
	No, no, I've got to go.
	Callum, I'll just say, when you start living with a woman again, you'll just have to get over the fairy lights, man.
	I'm sending a timestamp to you, John.
	After all, at the end of the day, right, okay, home decoration, that's her job.
	It's not my job.
	As long as I get home and it's relatively tidy, whatever.
	If you can make that HD as well, because otherwise people might not get what we're talking about, the beauty of it.
	But we'll give that a minute, just to read a couple of comments.
	So Baron Von Warhawk says, Ah, yeah.
	We're going to watch a bunch of losers get fired today.
	Clarkson gets fired.
	No, no, no, not like that!
	I already read that one.
	Yeah, sorry.
	That was too busy looking at Feralight.
	So let's have a look at this.
	There you are.
	Yeah, why not?
	It's only for a couple of seconds.
	Pause it there.
	That's really pretty.
	Yeah, like, it's really genius for making the place look nice.
	Yeah, of course it is.
	But, like, why am I attracted to furry lights?
	It just looks...
	You don't need to think about it that deeply.
	You can just say it looks nice.
	Such a dumb light.
	Why does it look pretty?
	Like, why is that beautiful?
	Why are you...
	Okay, why is...
	I don't know.
	Why is anything beautiful?
	Why is a cathedral beautiful?
	I don't think it's a fair comment.
	Like, you know, symmetry is beautiful, for one.
	That's something we solved.
	You've not seen Wes Anderson movies?
	Yeah, I've seen Wes Anderson's films.
	I've recently re-watched...
	Oh, what's the one with Ralph Fiennes in it?
	Budapest Hotel.
	I recently watched Budapest Hotel again.
	That's great.
	Did you notice the symmetry?
	Yeah, it's all the way through the film.
	Every shot is really centred, is beautiful, is gorgeously done.
	Fantastic film.
	That's something we can put a nail in.
	Yeah, Callum's just a fairy.
	Yeah, yours said it's beautiful too.
	Callum's a moth.
	I need to see that meme.
	Omar Alvard says, Guns are unironically for weak people.
	That's the point.
	It's a great equaliser.
	Don't worry though, we'll legalise...
	We'll legislate.
	Legislate violent rapists away.
	And if you need a gun, you can wait 15 minutes for police to secure the murder scene.
	That...
	What are you...
	What?
	Someone convicted of rape.
	Goes into a gun store and says I'd like to buy a gun.
	Guy does the background check.
	Finds out he's a rapist.
	Anyway, no more.
	You know what I'm getting at.
	Catastrophic orational threshold.
	Well, the likelihood is the guy's not getting the gun.
	On the commie segment, maybe if someone taught Alec Baldwin to probably use a gun...
	Oh, actually, yeah, I see.
	I recognise it.
	Yeah, yeah, I know what you're on about.
	Maybe she'd still be alive.
	Desert Rat says, I'm a felon.
	Sophie Lev Peterson says, Honestly, my name for Meghan Markle is just colour variant amber heard.
	LAUGHTER Like, they've come in little packs.
	You can get the full collection, like Power Rangers.
	Types of Amber Heard.
	You've got Amber Heard, you've got Meghan Markle, you've got Yoko Ono.
	Yeah, what's the difference between these two women?
	Tell me.
	I mean, that's why we did a segment on it back in the day.
	Well, I guess one marries a prince and turn him into a SOB, and the other marry a king, and the king is back.
	All hail the king of the pirates.
	Does it right again?
	It says, cheap guns, $250, but it's hot and miss about quality, whether it works.
	I think he meant hit and miss.
	Andrew Darragh says, they just don't make communists like they used to.
	I don't know, man.
	Most of the communists cringe back in the day, too.
	I was going to say, they've always been pathetic.
	But at least the murderous ones.
	At least they had conviction.
	Yeah.
	I know that is literally a cognitive talking point, but at least Stalin was kind of, you know...
	Well, he was legit.
	He was for real.
	He was a bank robber.
	He wasn't a whiny man on Twitter.
	Stalin-based confirmed.
	No.
	Rue the Day says, In every movie ever that's set in America, I find myself infuriated when there's a home invasion or a robbery, and no one has a gun.
	How the hell do these people not have a gun, oh my god?
	Every time.
	Actually, the first, um...
	I think it is the first American I've made friends with.
	Great guy.
	In the United States.
	Annoying thing as well.
	I'm stood in line.
	He just turns around and starts talking to me.
	I'm like, what are you doing?
	Anyway.
	Americans.
	So we started talking about home defense and he says, oh yeah, we've had multiple home invasions and shot them off.
	I'm like, there you go.
	What do you live?
	South Africa?
	He just lives in the middle of nowhere.
	Well, there is one TV show that I watched relatively recently that fixed that problem, which was Terminal List with Chris Pratt, is it?
	The good Chris.
	The one who's probably based.
	Yeah, I think it's Chris Pratt.
	Chris Pratt in it.
	His house gets home invaded at one point, and he does have a gun in the house that he even has very safely in his bedroom in a safe that has a thumbprint lock on it.
	So, that just came across very sensible to me.
	Anyway, we're out of time, so if you'd like more from us, let us see this.com, check out the stuff we talked about.
	Otherwise, back tomorrow, 1 o'clock.
