It was one second early, people.
Okay, while everyone trickles in, I got a message on Facebook.
And it was someone saying, and I've never appreciated this, they said, could you run something of like a banner or a countdown?
Because when it's a monetized live stream, there is an ad that runs before you get into the stream.
And if you want to support the channel and be, you know, friendly, you don't skip the ad.
You end up missing the first 30 seconds or...
10 seconds, however long the ad is.
I never appreciated that.
I never understood why some people had a countdown timer and others have standard intros to live streams.
So, for whoever sent me that Facebook message, I think you know who you are and I'll have to go check to thank you after this if I can remember.
I'm going to do it next time.
I just couldn't do it before this stream and I had never thought about it.
Everyone in the chat telling me to get a haircut?
Never.
In fact, in fact, people...
It has gotten long enough that I can wear a beret now.
And it kind of looks reasonably hip, reasonably cool.
My god, I've gone grey.
Oh my goodness.
My brother sent me a video.
One of my brothers had backed up all of our childhood VHS memories onto digital format.
And I got a video.
Of a video that I made in CEGEP.
I was taking a film studies class and we made short films as part of our projects.
And I was re-watching some of the stuff that we did when we were 17 years old in CEGEP.
To say you'd get cancelled for doing things like that these days would be an understatement.
It was the funniest thing ever.
May never become public ever, but it was hilarious.
The short films that we did in the behind the scenes.
Just imagine six guys with carte blanche to make a film for a teacher with a good sense of humor.
It was epic.
Now, that is not the intro.
While we wait for everyone to slowly get into the stream, I'll read a couple of the chats.
Hello from Australia.
Weird time.
What's the future like in Australia?
And actually, what's it like in Australia right now?
Oz.
Geez.
Avi Yamini.
Oz Olyashev.
Not Oz.
Who am I talking about?
Avi Yamini.
And he was saying it's as bad as we think it is here and maybe even worse.
The freedom fro is indeed.
It's coming back.
And I think I like it.
I mean, I really think I like it.
It might be at that stage now where it looks a little...
You know, borderline unemployed eccentric, not genius eccentric.
I'm hoping to get to the genius eccentric stage one of these days.
Do not get a haircut.
All right.
I won't.
Anytime soon.
Okay.
Before I get into the intro of the stream, it's going to be a good stream tonight.
We're simultaneously streaming on Rumble, as we always do.
Rumble merged with Locals, and so there's some features where you can find vivabarneslaw.locals.com directly through a widget on the Rumble site.
That's not the purpose of this intro.
Simul streaming on Rumble if people want to watch it there.
It'll be my Samson source of strength.
I like it.
I like to run my hands through my head.
It makes me feel, I don't know, a little more eccentric than normal.
Rumble has Rumble rants.
YouTube has Super Chats.
YouTube takes 30% of Super Chats.
If you don't like that...
I can appreciate it.
Rumble takes 20% of Superchats or Rumble rants.
So you can feel better supporting your creator, yada, yada.
If you want to support over on Rumble, I know some people have issue with the fact if you want to comment, you have to open an account and you have to give a cell number or a telephone number.
No system is perfect, but I like Rumble.
I liked Rumble before the locals merger.
I've liked Rumble since 2014.
I like Rumble and I like the CEO and I like the company.
So that's where I'm, you know.
That's where I'm focusing my alternative video methods.
The Winston look now available at self-respecting Barbara.
Okay, so that's it.
Super chat disclaimer.
I won't get to all of them.
If you're going to be miffed, if I don't get to them, don't give them.
I don't like people feeling miffed, rooked, chilled, whatever.
Where can we get your vlog dog shirt with Pudge?
Check the pinned comment on, I think, the majority of my YouTube videos.
The links to various merch are there, and it's not all good.
It's not all organized.
I have to figure out how to do it one day.
But tonight, I am not wearing my merch.
I am wearing Style Boys, which was my first night of Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa present.
I got Style Boys, which is Lonely Island merch, and I love this shirt.
Anybody who has not seen the movie Popstar Keep On Keeping On, one of the most underrated comedies of all time, in my humble opinion.
Highly inappropriate for kids.
Doesn't mean you can't watch it with kids.
Just be forewarned.
You'll have to cough over a lot of swear words and put your hands up because there's nudity.
Sage up theater profs are wild.
We did some wild stuff that I can no longer talk about too.
Those were the times.
I tell you what, they were the times.
98. 1998.
And people had a sense of humor and people were not out looking to be offended.
Have you heard of Kyle Crew?
Yes, I have.
We're talking about it tonight.
Okay, so.
Trouble Three Down Productions.
I like the avatar, and I like the branding.
Have you heard of the Kyle Caruth shooting?
If you could, check it out.
I also made a video about it, so that is some good paid promotion right there, Trouble Three Down.
It's been the talk of the week.
I watched Andrew Branca, Andrew Branca, The Law of Self-Defense.
I watched his breakdown.
I watched Andrew, I actually don't know his last name, Legal Mindset.
I watched his breakdown.
I know what I think about it, but we're going to talk about it tonight.
Can you look into the hundreds of athletes?
Okay, I'm not going to read it.
I've seen it.
The question you have to ask yourself is how many spontaneous heart attacks happen in any given year?
I don't know the exact number, but I know that it happens.
It's not as...
You need to know the comparison.
I don't know the comparison offhand, so I don't hypothesize.
Never cut your hair.
Long-haired, heathens unite.
And we've got Howie Z says, eh, it isn't that bad.
Most lockdowns are over.
And we're getting on with life.
It was rough, but having total deaths comparable to some places' weekly deaths to COVID is, in my opinion, worth it.
No judgment.
I might disagree with some of that, but I haven't lived through what you've lived through.
So my disagreement would be from a perspective of not having had your life experience.
Pudge, proof of life, maybe.
Okay, before we get into the rant, people.
I'm out of the country.
All the coppers have gone to Melbourne.
It's life is normal out here.
It seems to be how Australians deal with authorities' overreach.
Ignore them and carry on.
Well, speaking of authoritarian overreach, I've got two things.
I'm going to bring up a screen share because this isn't the purpose of the rant, but if you watch this, I don't know who has seen share.
Who has seen...
Let me go like this up here.
Who has seen Dr. Fauci?
Let me see if I can go to my...
To my show, listen to this, guys.
So if they get up and criticize science, nobody's going to know what they're talking about.
But if they get up and really aim their bullets at Tony Fauci, well, people could recognize there's a person there, so it's easy to criticize, but they're really criticizing science.
To criticize Fauci is to criticize science.
I mean, and he refers to himself in the third person.
He compares himself to the immutable, respectable, You know, praiseworthy field of science.
He is that.
And if you dare question him or criticize him, you are questioning the gods themselves.
I mean, that's what it is in no uncertain terms.
That's not the purpose of the rant.
The purpose of this intro rant is someone who lacks...
You're all seeing my Twitter feed.
It's wonderful.
Someone who lacks insight and history and knowledge.
And when you are a blithering...
Virtue signaling fool on the social medias.
At the very least, understand history because you might be not making the point that you think you're making.
Here we have Justin Trudeau wishing Jewish Canadians happy Hanukkah.
And he says, I'm not playing the video of him talking because it will probably cause people to shut their computers down.
Hanukkah is a time to reflect on life's blessings.
And as Canadians, we have so much to be thankful for.
To all Jewish Canadians who are celebrating over the next eight days.
Sophie and I wish you a blessed and joyful Chanukah.
And then in his video, he says, celebrate carefully.
Now, let me just go ahead and stop sharing and then see how this works.
Bring this down.
We go down here and bring up StreamYard.
Let me see if I haven't lost everybody here.
How are we doing?
Oh, there's a lot of comments coming in, and I'm going to have to scroll down to the bottom.
I missed a ton of chats.
Okay.
Okay, so we're all with me here.
Justin Trudeau is treating Hanukkah the way...
Who was it that treated Easter like eating chocolate?
In the mind of the person with no insight into history, no historical knowledge, and no respect of religion, you look at Easter and you say, it's a time to sit around and eat chocolate.
And Justin Trudeau is looking around at Hanukkah and saying, it's a time to count your blessings.
I mean, he's getting mixed up between Hanukkah and Thanksgiving regardless.
And this is not a religious lesson.
This is a history lesson that it would have been wise for Justin Trudeau to appreciate what Hanukkah was.
And it was the Israelites who were fighting against, not the oppression of the Egyptians, because the Egyptians had allowed the Israelites or the Hebrews of the time.
To live freely, to practice religion freely, and it wasn't until Antiochus, and I might get some of the stuff, this is an overview, Antiochus who came to power and took over, I mean, basically, the Syrians through Antiochus came into power and then came in and oppressed the Israelites.
They did not allow them to celebrate their religion.
They did not allow them to...
Live a free life.
They not only didn't allow them to practice their religions freely, and I'm not thinking of one Artur Pawlowski under the Trudeau and Jason Kenney Canadian rule, they defiled religion and what it was.
They made them pray to other idols, false idols.
Much in the way maybe, arguably, you can draw a similarity between what's going on today and what happened back then.
History doesn't repeat, but it tends to rhyme to quote the great Mark Twain.
So you have Justin Trudeau, who is arguably, but not arguably, an individual who through his government has tyrannized and oppressed all of Canada, has prevented people from freely celebrating their religion, has locked up those who have tried to freely practice their religion.
Arthur Povlowski, I want to forget his name now, the other pastor, Pastor Coates, James Coates, and there was a third one, has led to a Canada in which...
Several dozen churches have been burnt, vandalized, whatever.
This is the oppressor of the government saying, go out and celebrate Hanukkah, not actually realizing that what it is celebrating was precisely the revolt and the getting your freedom back from tyrannical regimes that did not allow you to live in peace,
