Hello and welcome to if I've mini super chat catch-up episode. That's right React stuff. It's the next episode We made it a whole nother episode. Wow here. We are pretty incredible Checking out what people said and saying hello and stuff like that Mm-hmm may as well get started. So first Message is thoughts on Superman 78 and Donna Superman 2. I Like Superman 1978 I Like it. I like it. We rewatched it like a year ago or something, right? Yeah, minus the earth spinny thing. I really kind of like it. It's a charming movie. Yeah, that came up in the other car catch-up The silly part, but there's plenty to love about that movie in lots of ways. I need to rewatch the Donica Superman 2 To get them refresh on it Yeah, cuz I don't think I've I don't think I've seen it I don't think I've seen it either. Oh, then you something first check out Exactly 100 caps after Hassan not a coincidence. Oh, they mean like it's a hundred episodes ago But the Hassan episode happened Feels like all the trade. Yeah It's like the planet has some fun things planned sometimes At this point 100% think youtubers should try copyright striking against these people who clearly don't care I know I just I don't know. It's just depressing Something will happen at some point a dam will break that sort of thing inevitable sort of thing it's just Easy to get away with most of them admit that that's what it comes down to. It's like what are you gonna do? Hmm Ex-QC needs to be fired out of a cannon into the Sun. I know that reference It's good old few trauma Everyone should watch it. It's pretty fun Lovey content also watch Patton Mola get out of the way for rag senpai Okay, I didn't realize it was in the way. Yeah Oh, see DC needs to back to movies like mask of phantasm GL first flight under the red hoods dark knight return superman versus the elite jail doom all-star Superman I Mean yeah, you're not getting the the best of the best right now. There's a DC movies Behang you know hold up hope. Wow a react fap high rags and everyone else more I've been watching Buffy on your recommendation Good rat. I listened to the exit QC convo and died. Yeah is that? That was a bizarre conversation Not something you expect to happen in your life, you know Gotta say if movie Bob talks in run-on sentences and ex-QC talks in mile a minute sweet crispy critters It's hard to listen to him talk and understand him. I guess it's an interesting comparison. I think the big difference obviously is that Movie Bob's trying to sound real smart. Yeah I If you see on the other hand, he's just he's got thoughts and they're spilling out They're just uh, he can't contain it. It's like a damn bursting but perpetually if the water just never ends. It's almost like It's like when a character looks into the core of the TARDIS. It's like a purity There's no filtering of the thoughts and feelings and words and all this stuff that happens in the brain It just comes right out I imagine that's a selling point and it has to be right that and the selling The rapids because otherwise I don't get it He's barely comprehensible So what if I record their chat and post it on my video is it bad Dude in that chat with them it got to the point where they were saying like yeah a chat transforms it all transformative the mirror existence of chat which You just run it straight through to okay the dark night, but there's chat on the screen. Oh my god So dark night, but subway surface I feel like it It's true that chat being on screen is an additional element that isn't there before sure But whether or not it's transformative or sufficiently transformative. I mean The time was like, yeah, that is a different experience, isn't it? That's a very good experience like again having someone with a gun to your head watching a movie is a very different experience Oh, exactly. It's going to the theater watching a film on IMAX versus watching it like on a 20 inch CRT TV it's a different experience sure But but then you know It's like would that would it be that if you're in an audience at the theater that that is transformative in and of Itself and therefore what the theater should get a hundred percent of the money instead of a instead of a split Yeah, it's bizarre crazy nonsense. It's it's just you don't want to go down that road. It doesn't make an argument for a React content when the easy solution is transform it. Oh my god.  You don't have to shamefully try and get off YouTube with this Vod you've created because you know, you've just stolen a thing You'll never have that worry about That's right. Yeah. Well, I have to stream 10 hours a day. It's like I'm so sorry Okay, so sorry you have to deal with that. I hope you're all right Lord longbong of Newptlington Abbey. Is there any good chance for Kongfab with Peter Jackson's long Kong when there's less going on There'll be a movie fab for the ages. Yes. Hello wags. He's screeches for the good boy. Oh, hello. Thank you That sounds like a really neat idea when there's less going on. It's like a movie fab Unfortunately, it isn't now we are in the busiest time of the year Yeah, I Try to listen to the XQC debate I really did but I couldn't get more than five minutes in without having an aneurysm from the way he talks I do not blame you. I don't blame you. Yeah These twitch dreamers should react to movies on stream. That should end. Well, they tried he did That's how brazen he is with this. He's like it doesn't matter. I'm creating something new This is transformative via, you know, the audience however if the law company, I'll just hide under a rock Leave me alone Hey trans girl thinking about a concealed carry here any recommendations on a good starter caliber Three, oh Three caliber, it's very interesting I Carry a nine millimeter pistol. I think that 380 can work fine But I wouldn't really go anything more hefty than that if it's just for self-defense Personally, I clear I carry a glock 26 and I like it quite a bit But it will be up to you know, how big your hand is how you like the feel of it How much it weighs to you? But I would say that you know 380 or 9 millimeter are fine choices There we are Thank you kindly for that nuclear e-fap mini. Yeah What's was worse the debate or compiling clips for the first arc on the react content thanks for the many years of great entertainment It's like it's the debate You know, it doesn't type what all it was just like a this isn't gonna help I mean eventually started to just deteriorate And when you when you're talking to someone who's going a mile a minute like Trying to find some foundations here like it's always impossible But compiling the clips that was that was a hell of its own I had to watch like 10 hour Hassan stream back in the day. That was that was really painful Thing and of course, you know, it sounds like a meme right, but it's like, I don't understand how I don't get it. I don't get it every day voluntarily. Yeah, I My brain just doesn't Understand, I don't get it Long-time listener to pause constantly high rags. Hello Did you know that humans share more than half our genetic material with bananas? Oh Wow, I did not know that that explains why humans taste so much like bananas Mm-hmm and rags. What is your fact book called also high rags? My fact book is called who knew by David Hoffman, it's an old one my Grandfather gave it to me. This one is from Let me see and is this Hoffman of soul fame or is this a different Hoffman? I think this is a different Hoffman. Okay. I think this this is one two thousand So yeah, in fact since you brought it up and because I've been neglecting it I'll read a fact for you Let's see, let me open it up here pick a page stewardesses stewardesses Is the longest word that can that is typed using only the left hand stewardesses So if you're listening this right now Do do that immediately. Yeah, that's true types types stewardesses with your left hand isn't that's fun I didn't know that's that's a big word for one hand. I I mean it pens out now that you've it's been pointed out That makes a lot of sense You know, I I'm gonna argue against it. I think that's pretty strong Good fact I like it. I like it. You know, actually I I had to reach over here to to grab the who knew book There is a my my mom got me this it's a Uh, she's religious though. I'm uh, I'm not I don't know if she knows that or not But she gave me a book called the wisdom of the saints 365 days of inspiration So since it's right here, it's right next to the fact book. Let me read it for today The current day that we're recording this on is, uh September the 23rd, so let me go to September here we go. Oh, that's a long one. Uh Okay, don't wince under the hammer that strikes you have an eye to the chisel that cuts you into the hand that shapes you The skillful and loving architect may wish to make of you the chief stones of his eternal edifice And the fairest statues in his kingdom then let him do it. He loves you He knows what he's doing. He has had experience all his blows of skill for in straight loving He never misses unless you cause him Uh to buy your impatience So a lot of the that's kind of my issue with this when I started going through this Is that a lot of these are just like god and I'm like, oh, this is like wisdom This is the wisdom of the saints. That's what it says. But mostly it's just like, yeah, god's great. I'm like, man Uh, that's that's not that helpful. Really. A lot of this just isn't helpful. Oh, here's one here I just opened it up. You know, this is a good one. I like this. This is a saint patrick on february 15th Luck is when an opportunity comes along and you've prepared for it Which I Well, it just makes you think doesn't it?  I'm like, no Do some stuff.   Everyone should try It's not going to be as high a quality of meme, but you know, it's it's okay Iterative memes. That's uh, that's how it goes All the video was on two times speed. Turned out it was just xqc talking at two times speed Mola that video gave me cancer such bad takes overall I'm sorry I mean it After this if you can come to some baseline ideas, you should publish a code of conduct ask permission tips if it's available, etc They don't give a shit all the people who break the code of conduct would never read it They would never care. It's funny.  Um, oh, we got we got a request for rags to read this out All right, sure. What do we got? Oh, there's a second half as well good old reference The uh ill smiling friends Let's see They just want me to read this out Yeah, I guess I'm I'm mr. Rags. This is my show. I eat the cream That's all right I ate the cream. This is the end.   Yeah, I like Hi kitty and ali Kitty and ali I don't know who that is. Um adam and sitch. I don't know Kitty and ali It could be could be pet names from uh from their own fan base. I I never know. I lots of deciphering to do What are what are what are your pet names for us? Um rackleton and fringo Oh, okay. That's pretty good. I like yeah, that's that's pretty good They'll they'll change it up though as time goes on like ragu frango ragu Yeah, yeah, I like it. I like it I have no message that coked up screeching hamster was hard to listen to high rags Hello The hamsters the hamsters make noises probably Uh, maybe a little bit, but they make noise something's probably wrong because you know Like rabbits don't make noises rabbits are quiet until they die Well, I don't know Even your rats are pretty quiet as well Rats are very quiet I heard the rats screaming in temple not temple doom last crusade when they were set on fire, so Uh, yeah, that probably said them off Yeah, the rough rough world to be a rat in the sewer mm-hmm I will never click on a vorsch or Hassan videos. I'm glad the unexposure I get to them is about Agua or his mommy cooking nuggies. That is the All right, you know some waters, what the What are you doing? You're the best part is he googled it before he said There's like, ah, yeah, this was show.  Yeah Hi, Andrew galante gray and dorkus and adam and wormy See, I know adam is adam and wormy is his cat. So but I don't know the other four That name of his cat That's a fun name for a cat wormy Yeah, it's a little bit unconventional. I feel like that's when I hear that I'm like Oh, that's not like a boring name that people typically give their animals like charlton That'd be that'd be an interesting one. I don't know the I don't know. I feel like uh, like a dog called spot It's like that's a hyper generic name.  I don't it's it's John for really good reasons Exactly. They've all been used I don't know if they've been used Is it the same way about like david or mark? Almost almost all of the gospels We're getting quite true They're pretty common names so far Yeah, we're gonna have to we're gonna have to change There's a few things changing around here. What do you what do you reckon is like the most? I don't know if I want to just say generic What do you think is the most common name for a woman like in a western country? Sarah Yeah, Mary Uh, I yeah, that's another one, but I feel like sarah is like number one Sarah probably um It's it's the john of women. You know, John of women. That was jane Jane yeah, but jane isn't as common. You know, that's a common name, but you know not as common Um, this is just as efap is fun. I agree uh, yeah In a perfect world, I'd wish for no more copyright protection the outage over immoral infringement like these cases are based in fairness Anyway, not law the benefits to fair use without way the cons Are you saying that if everybody did it fairly you wouldn't care about copyright because of that point The whole reason we care about copyright protection is because it forces people to be fair Exactly. I I don't know. I I don't understand like it's real simple copyright essentially gives you property rights over like odd Yeah, because if you're saying like I should be allowed to make my own star wars movies completely original But you know it takes place in the world or whatever and can be considered canon by people if they want to I could put loads of weird connectors of money into it and stuff like that's a whole other conversation compared to Strictly just stealing someone's thing and reselling it like these are not to say that one is easy and one is not in terms of figuring out There's loads of gray areas for everything Uh, yeah, of course, that's why that's why people go to court, right? That's why people debate about it but I mean that I I don't know I uh I fundamentally think that it is fine that people get to own the things that they make Uh, I think it's I think that's Fine like I don't have a problem with it and fair use exists right for the uh to to give uh an avenue for things like criticism and parity I feel like what we've got is fine Uh, in terms of like adjusting for the internet sure There's something to be said there like how exactly do memes, you know fit in the mix and everything but I mean the the stuff that was going on with the react stuff it that's brazen, you know Yeah, you just taking shirt You know and you're taking the piss you were taking the piss if you're gonna be like Well, you know like let's have a conversation about you know how like the twitch meta or whatever it's like come on Come on I think we all kind of get it, you know, like at least intuitively we all understand what's actually going on You know, they get it because as you see deaths, you know, those are admitted like, yeah There are some I just wouldn't upload to youtube and it's like, hmm. Yeah, exactly What does that mean that you recognize? What is that in your conscience there? That would make you say that Gentlemen, I have to say I really don't really have a take on this subject And I don't know much about xqc, but the way he interacts with people makes it easy to write him off as a douche bag well Yeah, okay I like they're just like I have nothing to say but he seems like a douche He seems like a douche I'm all the what do you think about the folding ideas video on the thermion argument personally? I think that it's very puritan in how it seems to dictate how an author should write their stories high ranks Hello, here we go Let's go google because I've heard that before as well so um A thermion argument is one that replies to criticism of a text with an in-universe Justification for why the thing happens in the text ignoring the actual argument in order to defend the text But that is a that's the tweet that this only pops up from Dan Olson. So this is quiet in mgs 5 then, right?  So yeah But hey, um, I'll see if I can check out his video on that see if he says something that I don't agree with Because I think he makes good stuff most of the time I've never seen him. Sorry. I have no idea Okay I Found appreciation for the hard work everyone on the stream puts into their videos and streams Good And hi to kitty our favorite furry lover. That's how you do a super chat shout out. Also. Have you all seen the movie eight mile? Yes Yeah, not for a long time Since it came out. It's been a while. Well, yeah, it's been a while for me. So I remember enjoying it But I don't remember much about it Mm-hmm Um, hi molla. I was the first one to super chat you on your only upstream about conforming Confronting I assume they mean destiny on this. I'm glad it paid off on ironically great content. Hi everyone. Also hi ragas Hello, yeah, I mean the conversation was had more than once The way xqc talks sounds like his tongue and teeth are in a constant battle to the death It's a way to put it That is a good way to describe the way I'm describing it. Yeah, you know how your mouth is just like not working as a team Guys come on You have the patience of a saint long man to deal with the word vomiter the drooling incompetent and the softest so well I'm not sure which of which a witch necessarily Uh trio so smart. They managed to reverse engineer copyright law and claim it as something new. She is There was a lot that was being said without thinking about it. I think Strange Um, how much of an appeal to these big streamers getting around ads and premium Um I'll show what you mean. How much of the appeal of these big streamers getting around ads and premium Do you mean that everything you see through these streamers doesn't have ads and premium because they have like youtube red or twitch prime So like watching their stream means that you don't have to have ads for anything or something You know the curator argument has come up a couple times Both in a non ethical and ethical way In terms of what does that add to it, but also why people I find them They're sort of evolving landscape with curators. So interesting because it seems like that is a real selling point for people of I can show up at this stream And whatever it is that the streamer decides we're going to watch Is going to be relevant and interesting because all the other people who watch it are going to be seeing it I'm finding it relevant and interesting Like that them curating and being part of a large community means you get to be part of a discussion And that's worth a lot So much so that some people in the chat don't even seem to mind what the dynamic is I just find it kind of interesting Hi rags Hello. Hi. Hello there Still halfway through the debate the battle of the long and the spurg is truly something to behold Also, I'm very happy you and abba met Yeah, he's a cool guy. He says uh some insane things in that conversation, but that's okay Yeah, he does. That's a a rare l for abba. I feel He's pretty chill. Cool. Your contributions to this discussion have been extremely valuable Thanks for bringing some sanity in a way. They can't just call bad faith and dodge great workmate talk to viper mayhaps Maybe someday in the future who knows Next time get rags to be there for these calls with these lazy streamers because someone needs to be ultra harsh and aggressive They're so bad faith Um, I'm sure I would have pushed more, but I think moller did a good job I think moller brought a moller brought a kind of calm reasonable energy to this the the pack of You know tards that were in there and I think it came he came out looking very Reasonable and approachable and like normal Um, excuse he came out like a fucking psychotic spurg who was only interested in himself John and real hard out of nowhere. I was just strange when he got like aggressive very quickly and reading in so much Ill intent that was weird Yeah, he kept trying to like take me to the end of my argument when I was like, I haven't gotten there and that's not where I'm going Calm down Cancel the questions.  Can you all recommend some good horror films? Yeah, the descents is really good. Oh one saw two No, no, I'm sorry. I thought you said horrible. Um, saw six had Something in there. I think so six is I don't know the preference so six I don't know I don't I don't like throwing it in alongside the descent in the thing No, no, no, it's not on the no no no it ain't there. Oh, but the descent the thing, uh Inversion the body snatchers Alien yeah What else what else would I throw in there? Um, I mean, it's probably worthwhile to watch the exorcist if you haven't seen it before that's one of those It follows might scare the bejeebas out of the bothies. Oh, yeah, I would recommend it follows. Yeah Well, I haven't seen it. So I enjoyed watching that. That was pretty fun There you go. Let me see Yeah, in the video game room you got a lot of options for good horror here. Yeah Play that dead space remake dammit. That's nice. Yep. It's pretty spooky Uh, I hope for his movie Kirby doesn't talk For you, uh, oh well except for the sounds right like hi Like that kind of thing. I'd be sure with that Like that. Yeah. Um, and then of course king did he just go like Like making those sounds I I just would be really really keen on seeing a film that had minimal dialogue Um, especially in a post mario movie world. I just don't foresee that happening No, I think mario teaches the lesson of yeah, you can have celebrity voice actors and it will be fine And it's like I guess it will be okay But like let's let's I'm okay with some more outside of the box thinking in terms of You know an animated film That doesn't have celebrity voice actors instead has very like limited dial Like when that when yoshi shows up in the next movie, I certainly hope he's not talking Um, I just want him to be saying yoshi That's all I want But I'm uh, I'm not so sure about that Hey fringled I'm gay actor michael douglas and have you ever had a big spider fall on you from a ceiling? Uh, no, that's not happened. Fortunately. Um, I don't I don't know that I've ever been like I think there was one I think there might have been one time that there was like a spider underneath my desk That kind of uh, shocked me where I wasn't ready for that But uh, I've never had a spider drop on me. No Unfortunately, I've never really had any like encounters with um, any of the the crazy spiders Like it's it's typically huntsman's which uh, they kind of look scary, but they're harmless um And then daddy long legs, which are also like Harmless and and they're not very scary at all. Yeah, so uh, we got them all over the place here. So yeah Yeah, they're like fellow chill like I said hunts. It's Uh, I mean you see redbacks every now and then uh, but not often Uh hot take the part in solar where lando tells han he hates him and han replies Yeah, I know it was okay ish. I didn't really have an answer, but now I'm thinking.  I don't even remember me. I've I've always seen it when I'm out Yeah Uh, fringled you should do a kirby playthrough with one of the fellas Uh, I want to like the co-op games. I mean, I really liked kirby in the forgotten land. I'm not sure how much I would uh It seems to me like the other kirby games are a bit more, uh conventional and relatively easy platformers like 2d platformers So I'm not I don't know if I'm as interested in playing those games Uh, but you know, I mean, maybe maybe the thing would be uh, I think uh, the new super mire brothers game has online co-op We could we could do that maybe Uh, this is already an e-fap for the ages cheers Wow good stuff If the mere experience of watching something with a streamer is transformative Then why don't xqc has signed on all other content leeches ever streamed star wars movies or episodes of game of thrones? They've tried Yeah, exactly if they could I mean that was the thing right people Just watching full seasons of anime On uh On twitch. Yeah, of course the classic is uh kitchen nightmares Uh, yeah kitchen nightmares house kitchen Just watching them, but uh, I don't know people don't do that so much anymore, right?  Thank you very much hail the brood good stuff How nice of them if someone reacts to a channel video they are technically promoting that youtuber's channel um I don't think anybody disagrees with that in a technicality sense. Yeah, I guess the technicality is true You know Not even that relevant the funny part is uh, we didn't even need the hypothetical It was proven with j. Hassan almost you I don't even know that like you'd have to look at the first few seconds And you might be able to get j's channel Um But thanks to the way Hassan did it you could barely tell whose video it was or how to find them at all Like you couldn't even check out the title.   It's run by a lawyer who has interesting videos on copyright laws in video game spaces No, I've not heard of that at all Sounds interesting though Hello to everyone, but adam in particular Oh my god, he wouldn't appreciate that. He'd be very upset Uh, two dull pain search for screaming frogs vids are fun. I think I've seen a few screaming frogs vids before Yes to dull pain Yeah to dull pain. Yeah um, you know We aren't talking about big companies. We're talking about influential streamers using someone else's content to make money with no effort put in And hey, if the thing is if you legalized it big companies would be able to churn this shit out way faster and better and more efficiently than they can Like um creating channels and automated content uh curators I just wonder about that on like a wider scale if they caught on to this they were like, oh, we're allowed to do this Just find with an algorithm all the most popular videos They get shared around and have a particular like set of statistics and then cycle them all into one channel Um with maybe even an ai host Yeah, I was thinking ai host. That was where my mind was going, sir You want to you pay like two people on a rotating sort of hosting thing of just or three or four whatever and they just react It's a 24-hour streamer. You would you you you can't outcap youtube's content if you started now Just constantly Well, I mean even if you started at the beginning you couldn't do it Yeah, that's so much being uploaded like second and then when you've got an algorithm just feeding in all of the most popular shit like yeah, there you go And then you have like someone on the back end who chops all of those up and uploads it to their own youtube channel Or algorithmically the ai does it and stuff This is a gross future Excellent guests today. Hi dev love you vids You depreciate that it doesn't make good stuff Have I seen this before is this a rerun high rags? Definitely a deja vu sort of situation And it will happen again um So there's a request for fringy here I'm not sure what this is clearly going to a meme I'd imagine um Okay, um By combining the genes of pika movie bob and synthetic man you'll create a weapon of mass cringe instruction I cannot allow it It looks like it's stopping someone from performing that experiment Creating a weapon of cringe instruction A wm what wait Oh, yeah, I guess it would be a wmc A weapon of mass cringe instruction Mm-hmm mass cringe instruction Uh finish the chorus Oh, this is a rhapsody song I think for the king for the land for the mountains for the green valleys where dragons fly For the glory the power to win the black lord. I will search for the emerald sword Well, that could be one of many actually they repeat that a couple times But I think that's what you're talking about That's um, it's from emerald sword. It's one of my favorite songs from them Good stuff. I think that's from gay act and michael douglas as well Oh, wow So that's neat a shilling one. I like that for the reaction meter Yes Watch kitty history by trevor more to learn the truth about jfk for real Watch kitty history The jfk stuff, okay No comment uh The last one before jfk was in febru 15th 1933 when fdr had an attempt on his life as president elect The assassin failed but he did end up killing the chicago mayor Hmm The history for you I'd never heard of this xqc person before today's efab. Thanks mola for showing me this person and seeing how low humanity and twitch can get Yeah, twitch continuously disappoints me It's it's never gets i've never there's never good news coming out of twitch Yeah, you never go to twitch to restore your faith in humanity. No um Oh, is this my line after what fringy said too late I've become destroyer of brain cells and orphan's creator of the xqc Wait, how this is I have to say creator of the xqc They've they've done this very strangely And then rags has got to say this I guess Create yeah, so fallen What okay, just to do a clean vision of my line. I have to say too late I have become destroyer of brain cells and orphans creator of the xqc And I'll say mollinheimer mollinheimer mollinheimer mollinheimer Is it like a chant?  So we called uh, we call you molly. Hmm Yeah Um, hey massives. I really enjoyed the descent efap movie episode I hope it sets a precedent in the sense that you guys will do more movies and tv with creators If you could get mike flanigan on no But if we could sure for an episode of tvfap Which episodes of his shows would you want to watch with him? I would choose episode six and ten of hillhouse five and seven of midnight mass also high rags play little nightmares Oh, hello Maybe he will in future, but yes, uh, it would be the twin storms episode the The the the hanner episode from midnight mass Sorry, uh, by mana midnight mass, um If I was to pick one episode from the show episode five, yeah the one about riley, right like the major one for him, yeah, that's uh The the end I would say Of that show being like absolutely amazing and then midnight club it would be when The the episode I think it's episode six or seven's when one of them dies and the whole episode's about here. Um common theme for his good episodes of tv apparently And he's got a show coming out very soon right Hey mass who's been getting together the hardware software I may use for video making thanks to your recommendations Is there any other useful software slash hardware that would be generally useful such as video audio recording software Headphone recommendations and what do you use for writing and organizing scripts and what if any tips for script writing and redrafting? Sorry for many questions. Thanks as always high rags mubles and frong Hello, um I use microsoft word a lot as do I um, I use wps Okay Um, I usually have many of them going at once for different notes keeping things All up in the air at the same time and then condensing it down into one script eventually Uh as for I mean I haven't got any headphone recommendations. I don't know if you guys have I use an ag1, uh, or at h ag1 x. It's a headset, but I like the quality of the headphones Um, they're not too expensive and I really like the way that they sound. That's what I use So there you go at one or an at h ag1 x Yeah, I don't know what mine's called. Um, I just say spend more than like You know more than 100 bucks probably I'd spend more than that honestly, but you I think the microphone is if you're gonna kind of spend on a peripheral that needs to be really good Yeah, I think the microphone is probably the way to go At the start you can just get a usb one. That's that's cool. And then the longer you do it You might want to get an xlr But like, you know the at 2020 is pretty good I think that's what all of us use right I use an at 2020 usb plus Right, I think moller has used a different one now. Do you use a different one now? I use the sure microphone that everyone has now The podcasting microphone for the high end people, you know, all the cool people have this like aethan kline and um And uh others I don't I don't have it so Damn, it's not very cool then, am I? Maybe one day you'll be cool Uh, I'll let you know maybe one day one day Uh And then as for video and audio recording software most of the stuff I record through is obs That's my useful little guy, but also audacity is where I record voice and I think Rags do you go directly into vegas? Right into vegas. Yeah, I just record using vegas and I have a I have an audio uh timeline And that's an audio uh audio track is what it is And I just have one down at the bottom that I use for my recordings and I just record straight into that There you go Imagine ifap where everyone is sat in the discord call in silence watching a high effort video icons only lighting up for slight noises my rags Hello, well that would be the twitch version, I guess Yeah, if we ever retire to twitch, that's what we'll do Hope you have jenni brooks on again soon. Well, we did he was on the anniversary. So there you go. That's right None of us were ready for that xqc horrific stream You must take full responsibility for that more.  Um, I don't hear much of anyone ever talking about dead island rip tide So Yeah, I don't know I got nothing to say on it. I haven't played it Um high to a team and s class alike Fair enough a lot of both. I'm I'm curious which of them has the most members at this point. I don't know if Ditch and adam run a thing on that Like a constant and I wonder how many people switch teams semi-regularly based on how good the hosts are doing. Yeah It's constant tug-of-war of membership Is xqc the original idea for the king's speech? I feel like his speech is incomprehensible as his views That'll be a fun movie jeffrey rush trying to teach xqc to speak Pause constantly should be the official e-fap mascot. Maybe a dog whose name it's spelled pause constantly Yo e-fap off topic I just watched a two and a half hour critique of organized chaos which reminded me of my similarly bad presentation voice any tips to improve that That'll be a practice situation Um, yeah, I think so. I don't know if I can give you any specific tips other than maybe Just think about your voice as you're talking about it. A lot of the times people just talking They don't think about how they sound because they're so used to it But you know, maybe when you're talking think about how you might sound Yeah It's uh Bring it tips and recommendations off other people see where you can improve try experiment a little bit Or voice. Do you want to settle on? Or what can you at least do to sort of? Alter the voice you have it's it's it's tough. Some people There's a very much a genetic lottery to um voices to to an extent Some extent but there's some things you can do some things can be done.  Oh, do I This one says stop pausing and I assume it's referencing the people in xqc's chat saying stop pausing because it wouldn't Make much sense for fads of us to say stop pausing I love that uh that juxtaposition is fabulous Well people in uh, yeah Excuse me chat getting mad and then that being brought up is like defensive pausing less because people get mad about it When you actually do the thing it's not virtue signaling. It's just having principles and living by them Yeah, so when because xqc and destiny would both say the uh anyone who is like making this claim is virtue signaling And it's weird because We're sitting here like but you can we have a whole history of avoiding doing it ever Like I don't think you can find a single leaf up episode where it would qualify that we've stolen work Wouldn't you make the same argument about himself? Wasn't he often saying like his system is better for the world? So wouldn't that also be virtue signaling by that definition? Um, I think I don't know if he would say that he just doesn't believe that anyone actually lives it Be this particular principle, but we definitely do Yeah, we do The way that he did things was better and he was like there are statistics that prove that that's the case Didn't he do that? xqc did I think yeah, but they didn't say that's what I'm getting at is wouldn't that also be by his definition virtue signaling Um, well, he said that he wouldn't be bringing out the stats unless someone else brought out the lying stats Doesn't matter, right So at the end of the day if you're still making the argument that it makes the world a better place just Because you I mean you just you could just make the counter forever, right? The only reason that it's being brought up the conversation is because you're doing the thing that people consider unethical So it's almost like just talking about virtue signaling isn't very useful.  I'm not sure how far you'd get or how many people would be okay with the film existing at this point The beds but um, sure Judges don't take a piss then it's fair use Don't take the piss not a piss. What am I supposed to do piss? Bring you this only exposure if you give credit That's not true necessarily I don't want to defend Uh these react streamers, but there are people who can benefit even when credit isn't given Yeah, but again, it's it's such a small part of the conversation really Yeah, it's um, it's the most concerning part from basically all of us They'd be in so much less trouble if they just consistently credited the people who they stole videos from yeah Act a little I don't know have a little bit of um, I guess like Uh perspective might be the right word consider that this is what you do for a living And it you know, how incredible is it that this is a thing that you can do for a living? um, so yeah Uh, I'm promoting your store when I steal your nuggets Yeah, you feel like I love this food I got from this restaurant. I didn't pay but hey and there uh I don't know there's just a there's a lot of comparisons where we're just like well that you can't do that and it's like, yeah I Brush a can on your heads for j oan peepo smug All right But that's the vlog to him You're allowed to react to anything as long as you transform it as jay says just don't take a piss Don't take the piss How can people don't know what's taking the piss is? It's a sign you can take a piss You do need that eventually especially if you drink a lot of water like me. I take many a piss If you do then it's not stealing here Very simple mutually alien isolation race also reservoir dogs game Yeah, I've uh, I want to play the reservoir dogs game at some point So I've always known about it, but as for a alien isolation race, I don't that game is long The big old long go game and It would be no point in racing it if people aren't familiar with it because then we just will be lost and confused Um watching to someone is a fascinating verb proposition subject combo. Maybe the first time anyone's ever combined them Watching to someone you mean like I am watching the video to the audience The strange sentence Exposure is not compensation without consent Is compensation Only possible with consent I'd have to look at the definition Yeah, could you say that could you say that one more time just so I clear that I get it exposure is not compensation without consent Um I know what they're trying to say and that's probably generally going to be the case. Yeah, you can't just be like, oh, yeah Yeah, I mean, yeah, didn't you know i'm paying you exposure That kind of thing because that you know obviously doesn't work, but Yeah, well, yeah, um, I would just be curious if compensation has anything to do with consent or if um be compensated is Dependent on anyone's agreements or if it's just a matter of what it's given in exchange or whatever On the subject of ways to entertain your chat while you're away vtuber kersh is currently doing a multi-day sub-a-thon Where she lets her chat play pokemon while she sleeps like a twitch plays thing That makes a lot of sense. That's a fun thing to do Thoughts on very kind of her to to let me play pokemon while she sleeps. Let's thank you very much Thoughts on tool if you've heard them might be up your alley a neat prog rock band If not start with the patient vicarious lateralis later alice Or the pot fan base can be shit at times, but the music is good A couple of my friends recommended tool, but I haven't listened to him I do not know tool. I'm uh Not in the loop. I'm not in the tool loop As painful as this is thanks for covering the topic. No problem Fighting the good fight someone ought to The argument seems to be prove the item I shoplift in this hypothetical would be sold Kind of oh, well, I mean there was None of the tiktoks or whatever would get any viewership at all if not for the person reacting to it This person was never gonna take off. Well, that's a great argument because it's unfalsifiable It's also just it's just gross because it's like well if they wouldn't have The morality of it on how successful they may or may not have been in an alternate timeline where their content didn't get taken Yeah, it suggests that like that means they didn't deserve any of what you Got well that they're more deserving of having their stuff taken What if I like No, there's no point. We've been over like a million times It's just an argument is what it is There are actually many prominent libertarians who would deny intellectual property being actual property because it isn't scarce, for example Yeah, but there's a lot of crazy libertarians. So yeah It's something I'm taking a bit They take a bit far You can have my wood gives piece of hardwood Well, thanks. You can do a lot with some hardwood Hi rags Hello I'm moving to be with my wife soon since she's in the navy. Also have platoon on more. He's the best guest since Fringy became a host Yeah, platoon is uh, he's he's a high tier.  Fish and chips sort of guy, you know and and and yep He's got a got a definitive slot for covering rings of power. All right when that comes around absolutely Uh, did Hassan just say that studios somehow sometimes pay streamers to react. Is he just guessing that seems like a big deal Um, I mean I mean, I could imagine that those sorts of deals do happen like I could believe it Yeah, it's fair thing to bring up. He's talking about sponsorships or trying to But of course he's talking about a pre-arranged Yeah, exactly agreement between two parties where they were like well, he's bringing up to say The there are people out there who would pay for us to do what we're doing and you're saying these people aren't benefiting And it's like well, yeah, but there are also people who would stop you from doing what you're doing That doesn't mean like well, I just they're right That's the They're right to do not even about rights.  Meanwhile, there are people who pay to make that situation happen because it is beneficial to them and you at the same time Oh, that's great. And it's like yeah, well, this does you know It's a lot more complicated than uh, people have paid for this to happen before it's like, okay Um more and currently watching Buffy purely on your recommendation. When does this start getting good? These early episodes are pretty rough. Hi rags Hello, it's shit for a while Season three where I would argue it starts to get consistently good Yep, um, but still they're still rockiness I once made a belt out of watches. It was a waste of time Ha ha. I like it very nice, I I like that joke good on you. I've never paid for not safer work content. Why would I? I feel like that's a whole other thing Talking about something like that I'll have paid for oh, I probably can't say porn I don't know why not Probably because the chat the youtube chat bot might oh But couldn't you do porn with like a zero or whatever? Or say prawn you could you could but I guess he just chose not safe for work. So Yeah, I suppose that's even broader than porn, right?  I watch x not gonna lie, but can't you argue that he brings a popularity to the original videos? I know that I've seen videos because of him Yeah What about crediting them? What about supporting them? What about not just taking their video and reuploading it with the same thumbnails and titles?  That was such a moment of like if you thought his position was genuine You don't anymore Uh, it's really hard after that one and it's like, yeah, okay fine fine fine fine But statistically they still overall benefit on average overall or something like that. I just feel like my It's like saying sometimes. I mean, I guess if I steal some good things can come from me stealing things Uh There's there's a better world an easier world that's like this that you could tear up into ethical Or you could like do above and beyond and we're just asking to tear right up into ethical It's just crossing a line right into there Um, but I will say part of his problem is his audience. They all discourage him from saying anything Um excessive cockiness of xqc really destroys any good faith that can be allotted should have Aiden pallid it on to explain this socially and fall asleep I think um He is probably one of the worst representatives of the position he was trying to give It probably should have been destiny talking to ethan to be honest with you Yeah, it would be more interesting. Yeah, hax to see his That's just not He wasn't ready for it Nope Um, I exclusively use old obby in the chief episodes for my brb screens when i'm just too lazy to react to a video My viewers love it kek um As long as he's okay with that I doubt it. I mean if it's a steal, but If you're just playing episodes of it, I don't know about that but Yeah, I mean this that's what this person's saying. They're just saying that they'd play arbina chief episodes when they're gone um John is okay with that then okay Like I don't know that's just yeah, I don't know why that would be Why would that be presented as like, ah, see that's the better way of doing it.  It works Why why can't we just do brb screens? Why is that because other people get bored? Yeah, okay, we'll let them get bored. They might go somewhere else. Yeah, we'll let them Oh And they can't wait a couple of minutes to watch you like I don't know We must be better than this All right As an old I am continually confused by much of what apparently goes on on twitch Put this toward a fresh bottle of baileys molla you've earned it. Oh, thank you What if there was a watch together alternative that all the viewers can log into and watch with xqc And all those views get added to the original video. I think that would be way better and cooler If we could cycle them all in like that, but then All those like engagement pieces go directly to the videos. I actually think the react streams would be annoyed by that Probably they're like stimulates the original instead of their own like Thou shalt not steal bible baggins Good quote from bible baggins. I like all about bible baggins He's got some weird stuff in there, but there's some good stuff, too If only metal new jews would be a topic today If only if only Uh Xqc vocabulary is ticklish. It makes me laugh Yeah, I could see how it makes someone laugh. It makes sense Um, hello guys. What is your favorite kind of juice also rags? Please spit in my eyeballs I will not spit in your eyeballs.  That stuff's good. Yummy I'm massive just finished squid game episode six with my dad. It was great rat really happy It holds up so well now. We got a fat man shout come on 69 and it's bigger Howdy rags Yeah, it's a bit of a drop in quality in that season when you go from Episode six is tight as hell and it's so bloody profound in terms of what it's saying about all this different human nature and conflict and stuff And then you get the really bad like american accent people in the next episode That's really. Yeah, that's oh boy. That was uh Oh, well, I remember it wasn't the conversations about like people were like, oh, unfortunately I guess they couldn't hire the right people and I think the actors were like, hey Like we I can't remember if they were originally americans or not But like everyone's assumption is that they weren't It was like, why do you sound so strange as far as I know I thought they said that that is what they actually wanted it to sound like I think that was it. Yeah, something like that.  Do you mean and they're like? Well, it would sound more natural where I'm from to just say it like this and it's basically the same I can't imagine why you would never just vote for that Yeah, if the English speaking actor that you hired says hey, just so that you know All of us sound like space aliens You're trying to imitate what humans actually sound like and if you put this out everyone's gonna Think this is fucking weird Well, so I remember there is Uh three british characters in Buffy and only one of them is actually british And apparently he gave loads of tips to the other two about how to talk and it's great because I was fully convinced the other two were british but Big portion of my life before I realized they weren't Which is uh good stuff and so yeah, I don't know. It just feels weird that you wouldn't Take take the tips, but I guess hey artistic vision. Yeah. No, I wanted to sound maybe said something like I want you to sound out of touch I want you to sound weird Yeah, I don't know. Yeah Congratulations He's excited Uh Appreciate the amazing content and thank you for inspiring me to work on my own story draft is on 50k words already So wish me luck high rags Hello, and uh, good luck. That's luck. The big boy. Good luck. Good luck on your thing Boy, howdy. Can't wait to see what the man of steel is up to on the real uh re upload What the man of steel is up to on the re upload? Well, man of steel, right? Well, this is the new man of steel Also, congrats on the upcoming 250. We are soon officially 25 towards the return of wolf. One can hope she is massive 25 meaning. Oh like episode 1000, I guess Um a team reign supreme also high mark Oh high mark This one just says pain That could reference a lot of things. Yeah The son would tell on himself would realizing it Without realizing it. I think they mean I think that's very possible. It's possible. Yeah Wings quote of the day. Here's my leg slaps leg.  Oh, he's been doing a lot of that Uniquely spineless that man. Yeah get ether on tear them apart You guys just like get this person on it's like Yeah, sure. Okay. We're jumping to the dbs For what I've learned throughout the last year it changes twofold that deliverance speech patterns is focused on saying less With more words and that morals and principles are malleable when it concerns outcome and target um, I mean Yeah, I mean, you know the morals and principles being malleable. That's just That's just a forever thing for everybody depending on What pressures there are Yeah, I never know all kinds of things that happen all the time I just hope we can maintain the freedom of speech to argue the positions and maybe james binds. That's that's the best you can hope for Um, he's breaking pretty bad for molding kappa I'm not and oh I'm not entirely sure you're breaking pretty bad for molding But we got three memes in there at once. I'm trying to decipher breaking pretty bad He's heist because heisenberg's bald Hmm Uh, I would relate this problem closer to embezzlement before grape Embezzlers start small and then slowly begin to take more and more same with these react streamers doing less effort under the fair use Then one day you wake up and you're only added 15 minutes of commentary to a 98 minute video Or you put a 15 minute video in while you were afk I wouldn't compare it to rape That's a mistake. I would say this come in Not only do I not think it's valid. It's also like confusing everybody and then everyone gets off put on the conversation. So Um embezzlement though, maybe Um, can you dumbo's react harder to ddlc? Well, we'd have to play it first Yeah, I don't know about that. Maybe maybe amel. There are free movies on youtube such as zulu and patent Is it legal slash moral to react to them in their entirety since it's freely available on their official youtube license Well, I need to know those more specifics on that. How does that work? There's just they're just not running copyright on those Yeah, I don't know. It might only be it might only be that youtube has purchased the rights to display that on youtube But that doesn't mean like anyone could just take it and do whatever they want with it A good example of what you would have gotten In a world where there's no copyright and we made efat movies is um Dead Space 1991. That's what they would look like Where they're still edited to the point where it's mostly all of the stuff that we are doing some stuff from the movie, of course But like that the movie itself is barely comprehensible with uh, what we've done to it in the edit And how much we're talking over it and what jokes we're making in different edits that are happening to it, you know But like there's no copyright screen So as to prevent as much of the original source coming in and generating a fair use thing Which is interesting as a comparison the saw arc, which is recently the trailer came out or well, it's probably not recently when this comes out, but hey the uh It could be weeks. I don't know what week two weeks, whatever, but in any case That one was a nightmare and you'll find that out when watching them because the copyright is very very obsessive arguably constant And so uh, what I guess I'm saying is like there's different requirements Uh Here and there and stuff, but like what you saw in the Dead Space 1991 That's probably as far as we believe needs to go for us to consider You know it fairly transformed Would it make it in thought though? Who knows? That's uh, another thing everyone has a different line for what would be fair transformation As has been said before in like a joking way like oh, do I need to add another minute and then it'll be fair It's like I don't know maybe Maybe yeah It's like saying oh, I've added another drop of water to this pond. Is it a lake now? Yes Just be fair.  Yeah, that's true. Hold it in forever and explode Uh, hey fab crew I want to extend my gratitude toward all of you. My daughter was in the PICU For 46 days your podcast helped me keep my mind occupied hardest part of my life so far. She was chose. She was close Do not leaving alive Oh, gosh, I assume that means the prenatal intensive care unit Uh, could be yeah But I see you Judging from what they said though that she's she's made it. Hopefully she's all right and Very glad that we could provide any kind of solace in a situation like that Yeah, pediatric intensive care unit. Yeah, I can imagine that would be Fucking horrific to have a kid in there and not being able to do anything, you know But we're very happy that she's all right or uh, And we were able to you know help out with that so I don't have anything to say I just wanted to use my free milestone chat also high rags Hello, and thank you very much. If you think it's something to say then Go ahead and toss us a super chat later Ask us which mega man character we think looks coolest. Yeah I love how he says everyone is hyper obsessed with money while he has a tweet saying his content prince paper. Good job XQC lol They're never consistent. The money thing is always I remember he said I I wear your whole house on my wrist or something like that, right? Yep Uh Also, I Sorry, I don't know which one this was connected to but it said sincerely an Austrian painter Why oh, I don't know many Austrian painters. I just know neither do I I just know one, but I'm sure there's many others They're not as famous, but I'm sure there's many XQC sounds like Snyder's Lex Luthor high rags Hello, I could understand Jesse Eisenberg way better than XQC Absolutely. He's just sliding jolly ranchers into people's of my house. What did Snyder mean by this? I like you guys a lot But to be honest if you ever bring someone with XQC's accent on I'm not watching I realize why the people of Hartlepool thought a monkey was a Frenchman For fuck's sake at least his son can speak words. However rarely he exercises that ability I don't know if calling XQC's voice an accent is being Yeah, I don't know He has a disability in each of the places though us three are from there are people you can barely understand all the way Have to people you can easily understand Yeah, it's not an accent. Yeah, like I don't I don't know why it's like oh XQC is like French Canadian I don't know man. I've heard French Canadians before that don't sound like that It's it's not like unique feature of the French Canadian accent to speak that fast Yeah, you're choosing to laugh. Yeah, because you can change the speed at which you speak. That's a thing you can do that It's true. You could just talk slower It it's possible. It can be done The idea is like no, I can't because of my accent. It's like I don't think that's how that works You can control that You literally could just not You could just not Uh, didn't we see this coming isn't XQC the one who broadcasted the Olympics Didn't Hassan talk about how bad that was and the precedent it could make did Hassan talk about that? I don't remember but yeah, that is something that XQC did try the olympics thing Well Um My brain melts from watching Hassan and XQC simultaneously have major content creators like them always been this out of touch with common sense Yeah, probably yeah, I think so Yeah It's like a club and that's what you have to do to get in Just have to be an insufferable jerk.  Another one says hi lucy Oh, um Hi lucy, then this one says hi adam and lucy Who is adam and who and who is lucy? I don't know. I know the adam one not familiar with the lucy one Famous Hassan quote pay the artist dude paid an exposure. Yeah, it's a great cut off The Mola therapist fund, thank you agree or disagree time travel is impossible No, it's not impossible I have no idea. I don't know enough about the science or what would qualify as time traveling Or what wouldn't I don't think that traveling Yeah, I there's way to yeah, it's it's flimpy. But I think like technically it's possible theoretically But I don't think if it's plausible or anything like it is in the movies It's just like the weird interstellar kind of shit Um, I've been loving buffy until I hit the middle of season four It feels kind of boring and less funny convinced me to keep going somehow The yeah, I keep going Well the way I would can It depends on what I don't know what it would take to convince you necessarily But one of the greatest episodes of tv one of the greatest pieces of art ever made is in season five, so Go get it Yeah four is a bit uh, you know, it's not as good as season three I describe it as rocky Yeah, and they had problems behind the scenes for season four several and The thing about it is though I still think season four of buffy is a hell of a lot better than a lot of tv shows like It's still more coherent So there's more to say and I still like a lot of what happens with a lot of the characters and stuff The plots get a little bit wonky the overall arc gets a bit wonky and the villain's not very strong, but I don't know. That's not the worst thing to happen. I still find it entertaining and there's still really good episodes in there Like um Wild at heart something blue hush And that's considered like one of the greatest episodes across the whole series so The gang's favorite Futurama moment hard choice for me But I always love the first episode when bender puts both arms back on and fry says, I don't know how he just did that As he watched it happen.  Yeah What an interesting thing that this question was asked before well before The video came out So that's right because I have not watched much of Futurama, but even without having seen that episode I might say that that episode is my favorite It was getting me all teary eyed man. Uh, it's been my favorite for a long time and um, it's the It's it's just thinking about everything fry does for her is is the big deal for me and The whole like it got through and that they hug at the end. That's one of my favorite moments, but obviously the Everything in Jurassic Park is pretty top tier as well. Yeah Jurassic box ending might be That might be it Um, I don't know if we need to list all the other potentials, but I assume those will be in free picks. So There you go Uh, we are not random. We are the toxic brood Oh Stop using the word massive in vain The games the religiousness of it all Gaming industry was fine before twitch. I'd argue twitch is a harm to the gaming industry Hmm, what do you guys think? Um, I disagree I have no idea. I'd probably go with a lot of stats we can find I guess I think twitch and the ability to watch streamers and game streaming and all of that has created At least for gaming a very positive sort of culture surrounding the hobby that has allowed it in its own way to thrive I mean that's got to be undeniable and then it's got to have given a spotlight and more coverage and more acceptance in general in a social and cultural way, so it's Like more people are weird Because gaming's had to fucking claw its way to be respected even though it's dominating which is really weird Yep. That's how it goes though That's how it goes. Is it ableist to laugh at xqc? He obviously has mental problems It's always it sure, but you know what that's fine.  Oh, I know Yeah, that's right. At least in the she bears. Yeah It's a good story It's a good story. I learned a lot from that story. It's very meaningful Sheba dog shaking his body from left to right surrounded by red hearts. Oh, that's a nice emote. Oh, that's a great one I really like that one Good stuff. I tear nothing stokes the fires of marxism in me quite like watching twitch streamer's clout shame Fires of marxism fires of marxism Sheba dog squeezing a big red heart emoji. Oh Such nice and friendly and wholesome emojis thoughts on lego star was a skywalker saga never got to catch the playthrough Um, you can find it on the if you look at playlists on my channel You'll find the gaming one cycle back enough. You'll find it. I thought it was crap I think they rushed it out. They hadn't finished it. It was clearly broken in loads of different places and empty Which is a huge shame. Um, I assume it's to do with mistakes that happen at some point by enough more You can chew that sort of thing And I remember I broke it a couple of times I got locked into a mission.  Yeah. Yeah, the old ones. Yeah, they're all pretty damn tight.   Uh, not fun So, um, I don't know if they fixed it by now. Maybe they have Rags and platoon of my e-girls Ooh, nice. Good choices. Good choices Uh, but is it a good rat cage? A good rat cage a good rat cage I'm entirely sure what that means Asan needs a chair is his co-host asan nightly All right Well, it's just him sitting opposite of the chair So, yeah, if we give you for reacting to the big to the big lege show Forgive us for reacting to it. What do you mean? Did we react to the big lege show? I don't feel like we did I don't think so here Here's how I see the world mine mine mine mine mine bimbo backs quidious Okay, I don't know SCP 2718 is death itself scary stuff Oh wait, what's the number of that one 2718 death itself 2718. Let's take a look here Um, it's rated very highly. I am going to leave that as an open tab and check it out And please dear god if you recommend me to read a SCPs Keep them short and have a quality level when they're good.  I really love that one. I thought that was super cool very clever Uh Hey guys terrific episode more you might consider to hit up count dankula's discord for a dank bot to replace your Bad voice bot dank bot it is Bad voice bot I don't know what any of these bots do. I'm so unfamiliar with discord while simultaneously using it constantly A lot of things that happen on discord that I don't understand A good metric metric for transformation would be when the experience of watching one thing is fundamentally different than watching the other Think watching a movie normally with directors commentary on I don't think that's sufficiently transforming a movie though if you just released it yourself with your own commentary running Uh, it's a really complicated thing what I consider to be fully fairly transformative But I'm sure everyone has lines that are different And if we had a world with no copyright protection, no intellectual property It would be strange and interesting to see what would end up happening Um, the social aspect of chat adds exponential value is a cult line Never trust someone who tries to gamify and commodify basic human interaction. It's treating emotes and paris social Uh, like bitcoin Well, he he's under the impression that he's like a pioneer and that this is the definitive future We are going to be at a point which by the way, there's probably a black mirror episode like this where you you know Normal events or whatever like there's just an option to turn on chat or something I think that that should be something in some sci-fi where you're in the cinema and uh once 51% plus vote for it or whatever a chat window comes up on the side of the other movie That that would be nice and dystopian things to think about Uh, eFab is just a show to me the comments are a fun forum But if they got shut down, I just go to the discord comments aren't ip any more than audience in the theater coughing or ip You own those coughs Hi eFab gang just got off work gonna enjoy this I hope you do. Yeah I hope you do too, and I hope you like it so much. You give us money Uh, bring Theo to watch a soca Oh Oh, we would never do that. We would never subject a person that we love to such a I mean, he'd love it. He's our clone wars expert because he thinks that show is really good Yeah, I wish I had a fraction of a quarter of a half of the math xqc has also high rags Yeah, hello The main takeaway from all of this is wales is the dark souls of roads Yes I've heard that from a couple of people who visited wales Apparently, uh, well britain in general a lot of people struggle with our roads compared to other places Are they narrow or yeah typically? Uh fair yeah, you finally found someone more insufferable than movie bob I can't stand this xqc person and really hope he's not brought up in future eFabs Yeah, you probably be okay. I think I don't see why you should come up again unless it's this topic But you know give it a year I guess Oh, this one says stay adam. This is this is when adam was leaving This one says keep talking adam adam. Don't you leave you bald mauled Defining Transformative is too broad by nature more useful to focus on here's what it definitively shouldn't be outlining most common scenarios I guess that it still wouldn't change what they want to do and they slip into it Anyway, if they had limitations that they agreed to they would still eventually break them and be like, oh, it's not a big deal calm down And the final message of the episode is somehow jinx returned Oh, it's true And when we did We all just let it happen Oh, well really all of us, but you know what I mean vigilant or else the jinxes will come back Well, thank you so much for all of your kind messages. Sorry. We took a little bit to get to them We're just getting to them all and uh, we eventually of course do so Appreciate it kind and wholesome and uh, we shall Be you all in the next defap related thing. Whatever it may end up being Absolutely, thanks for the super chats everybody I do appreciate them and uh, some good questions and stuff in there too. I always like answering those So you see you. See y'all later to loo. Bye. Bye. See you


So if you don't know who I am, my name is Claire Carmichael and I'm a second year adult nursing student. And today I'm going to talk to you all about things that you should be doing before you start university and in the first couple of months of starting university. And I hope it helps somebody out there. Firstly, I just want to say that every university is different so I'm just going on my own experiences and what my university does. I'm at Birmingham City University. So these are just some little bits of disclaimers that I have to put out there that every university is different so check with your university if there's anything else that you need to do. So coming up to September you're about to start university and you're going to need your checklist so write these things down. Number one, have you done your DBS? Have you filled it out and have you sent it off? Number two, finance. Have you applied for your finance yet? You should have. Number three, have you had an occupational health appointment at the university?  So go in and get that done and don't worry about it, don't panic, just relax. Do you have your start date? And this sounds really simple but sometimes they, you know, there's a technology failure, something's happened, there's an error somewhere, this happened to me unfortunately and I didn't get my start date and I ended up missing my first week unfortunately but luckily it was sorted out and they're really good about it and yeah, so I just want to say if you haven't got your start date, ring them, email them, anything you can do to get your start date. Next thing, have you submitted all of your certificates and evidence that you need to say that you can do the degree, whatever the conditions were in your application form? Have a look. The last thing in this section is do you have everything you need? Have you got the right amount of pens, papers, different colours, your fob watches, calculators, all that's jazz? I did do a vlog on everything that you need for your first year for nursing so I'll put the links below and just go and check that out if you want. It's up to you. Let's start with the first day. So your first day is going to be really overwhelming, it's going to be really nerve-wrecking especially if you don't know anybody and you're going in just completely alone into this because that was me, I was that person and it is really scary that first day but you know what, you get over it and you start talking to people and everyone's in the same boat, you have to remember this, you're not going to be the only person there that's alone, there's going to be other people there that's alone. So if you used to be at the spot, somebody that's on their own, looking a bit gloom, looking nervous, come say hi, wave at them or something ridiculous, hey friends. Okay so your first week slash month can be overwhelming as a whole because you're going to get a lot of information thrown at you, you know your timetables, your placements, exam days, everything's going to be chucked at you in the first month. So please don't stress, just take some time to just absorb all the information, take some time to adjust to the university life because it's okay that you don't adjust. It took me a couple of months at least to adjust fully to university life and you need to just be comfortable and don't panic because if you don't know something there's always someone to ask or there's online resources to have a look at, one of your colleagues will know, someone will know. So just don't worry if it's a bit overwhelming, just set yourself in and yeah. So when you start you will be given a personal tutor, this is your first point of contact if you have any issues, any problems. A personal tutor is also the person that looks after you for the three years and they're going to be writing your reference at the end and it's just nice, it's nice to get to know your personal tutor I think. Yeah, so you will be given your personal tutor when you first start so make sure you send them an email, say hello, introduce yourselves and ask them what they want from you as well and what they expect and you can just go from there and make sure you tend your mandatory sessions so you'll have manual handling, basic life support, hospital life support, whichever one they call it.  And then next make sure you download and print your timetable off, make sure you have a look at your dates, what's coming up next, what exams, what assignments, what when your placement is going to be and just prioritise everything in order, get put it on your calendar, print it, put it on your wall, make sure you know where you are, what time you're at places and just start to organise yourself because you're going to need that for the three years. Another very, might be a strange tip but read your emails, go on to your university emails, I do mine daily, actually probably twice a day I'm addicted to checking my emails but please go on to your emails daily because this is your point of call from the university so if they've got any important messages or anything that or that's how Birmingham City contact us we always get emails and updates and things. There might be a forum for you on the university website that you can go on, it just depends how your university works but just find out but just yeah check your emails and don't miss any important information that they might be sending you. Also I just want to say make the most of events, if you've got events and things going on at your university take some time out, go to the events, meet new people, mingle with the other cohorts, mingle with the other fields of nursing or different subjects completely just go and speak to those students and mingle and just make the most of your time there. It's going to be a really long three years if you don't make the most of it and if you're just you know dragging your feet and getting by and I don't want that for you please make the most of your university life. If there's an event about and you want to go to it go to it that's just one of my top tips I think. My next top tip is this is just a personal love of mine, it's not for everybody but I love Twitter and everyone I feel should be on Twitter but that's just my personal bubble and no that's not for everybody please don't shoot me down. Twitter is a swear word to some people so I'm very sorry about that but I personally love it and for your personal professional development it's really really good and you're going to come into networking with so many different people across the NHS it's fantastic it's really really good for your professional development I think. So two weeks before at least on your placement call them up call them up introduce yourself and out with your mentors get your shifts booked in so it's really good if you arrange a visit as well before you start because if you go onto the ward or community or whichever area you're going into it's really nice to go and speak to these people see these people before you start so you're in a more relaxed environment because you're not in your uniform and going if that makes sense so you get to speak to see everyone and just get a feel for everybody and that will just completely erase half the nurse that you're feeling right now about it. Also because your first year your first year first placement don't panic if you don't know anything people are going to ask you questions assuming that you're a second year student or third year student I had a couple of people thinking that I was a third year student I was like I'm the first year first placement and they expect you to know a lot and some people they just don't take into consideration okay you are a fresh new student and it's okay it's completely normal to not know anything so don't worry about that don't panic if you don't know anything just be honest about it just say listen I'm really sorry I don't know but can you just explain it or show me and they'll be fine about it. Also keep a little pocket notepad when you go out onto placements and a pen in your pocket because it's really good to write everything down I've got a little notebook book myself and I've literally just written little bits that I've learned along the way it's just full of knowledge and little tiny just it doesn't even make sense some of it but I understand it but if someone else was to read it they'd just be like so keep a notepad in your pocket and it's really good if your mentor tells you anything explains anything to you literally just jot it down and mentors will love that as well so that's a really good tip if you can grab hold of a bnf I've said this in a previous vlog if you can grab hold of a physical bnf get it take it home love it it's your bible if you can't get hold of one they are free from pharmacists if you go to any pharmacy and just say you're a student nurse have they got any old bnf's that you can have they will give you one for free because they literally they've got no use for them because they get one fresh every year so steal it but if you can't if you can't find a bnf anywhere don't worry because there's a bnf app the bnf apps really really good it's just the same as the book I just like having a physical book to look at but the bnf apps just as good and it's all the same information so it's easily just download do it because that's going to be your bible for the next three years you are going to use it it's going to be the most used thing you ever use out of every book anyone's ever told you you need a bnf whether it's the app or book but if you don't get it don't worry because the wards always have a bnf hanging about that you can look at on the ward obviously don't take that one because they need it but it's something that you can look at and also just be mindful if you've got the bnf app on your phone don't get that you can don't get your phone out on the wards because you're not allowed your phone on the wards or whichever area not just wards but community whatever just be really mindful of having your mobile phone and just keep it away keep it on silent turn it off don't touch it whilst you're working on your placement it's really not worth the hassle that it will cause but if you do really need to look up a drug and the only option you've got is to use your phone just go and find your mentor or whoever you're with at that time and just say listen i'm just going to look this up on my phone is that okay and just explain exactly what you're doing because you don't want people to get the wrong impression of you if that makes sense and last but not least i just want to say when you go onto the ward it is very busy you know you're going to be out there you're in the real world there are real patients that are really sick out there and your mentor is going to be so so busy so please i just want to say this now don't get disheartened if your mentor is rushed off her feet she hasn't got time for you if she's putting you with hca's to go around with please don't be offended that's a really good thing as well because hca's are amazing they're so knowledgeable they're really good to learn from so honestly embrace that if you you're put with the hca to go around with because they're fantastic so my main point is it is very busy so don't be disheartened i know some people have got disheartened before because their mentor didn't appear to have time for them but it is the real world they are understaffed and it is a struggle to fit those students in as well as dealing with their patients so don't worry if they can't sign your book on that day it can be done tomorrow so don't worry if they haven't got time for you but at the same time if you're not learning and because you are there to learn you're there to train if you feel like you're not learning and not getting the experiences you want maybe just ask somebody if your mentor's busy see if you've got a buddy mentor or another nurse and just say i'd really like to experience this do you mind if i come and watch you do this it's all about the way you approach a situation you know we're not there to kick off at people because it's not their fault it's a real life situation and they're there to do their job at the end of the day and a patient comes first before anybody before us so if there is something you particularly want to do you can ask please feel free to ask about pathways and things that you can go on as well any experience you can get involved in get involved in so that is it as my top tips and advice for placements and just remember as well not everyone has the same experience every student will experience something different depending on the area they're in depending on their own life circumstances so you have to make this your own this is your next three years of your life is you're going to be living and breathing nursing or even any course you're doing right now you're going to be living and breathing this course for the next three years people are going to become your family and it's just make the most of it enjoy it embrace it and love it and for now see you later


CDA doesn't look like too much, you know, but but so many people to spend two evenings of their week. You know, after six p.m. go to study from six to nine and complete this whole process. It's a lot that how that much make when that is finished 50 cents an hour 25 cents an hour. And you offer them three more dollars an hour for that. No, that's the reality. So I have this wonderful fellowship program is all they finish and they come so proudly show me their certificate. And I have a terrible be a shame that I have to say well I can raise your salary 50 cents. I do my math and I see okay after I take taxes and all of this, what did that really means to you. You know how I have knowledge in, you know, one in the financial but in the other way it's like a, how much I value this what kind of value are giving that that you are a wonderful professional that wiring that child brain and I pay you for that 50 more cents an hour. You know, that's the kind of judgment away so it's no sustainable. I mean you want to spend all of this and this, and then they will leave to the school system or to public schools to whoever can pay them more. I could not echo that more. And there is just one thing that I will add. It amazes me that are people that are thinking human beings, making an informed decision. The investment of going to school to obtain a degree in early childhood when they know that doesn't mean anything. Why they don't go into nursing. Why they don't go into other fields for heaven's sake early childhood doesn't give you the money. So, we are kind of masochists here. I mean, we know, and we, and let me tell you why we do it. We do it because we love the children. We do it because we believe in what we do because there is a higher purpose, higher the finances higher than personal gain higher than than comfort levels that we may achieve higher than our own family members. That's what I said it's a vocational field. It's not only a complex, it's a relational, but it's a vocational field because only people that I know that have the vocation to be where they are are doing what they're doing. And I'm impressed. I mean, I, I talk to my teachers that are going and they're studying and, and I dare to ask them the other day. Hey, knowing that I know everything is that show me what you're studying and they come with a notebook with biology. It was a biology class. And I'm thinking. Okay. Biology. I understand biology is important if you want to work with human beings right but what level of biology. I mean how meaningful that particular class of biology, it is for them to go back to the classroom. A lot of them are taking classes on things that are totally unrelated. And somebody came to me. Somebody in the higher educational field and said, Well, it's, you know, Isabel, there is general culture. We need to know there's things that we need to learn just because we have to learn them and I'm thinking, wait, let me get my, my. Hi, Alexa. We need to realize that we live in the world of Alexa's and we live in a world where information is there if we need it. But what we need is to develop the competencies that we need to have in place to do our job right. So one thing that can be very, very, and to the folks that were talking in the first panel, that could be very, very important is to make learning meaningful for early childhood educators. You can't feel a class of course work just because you think it's important. Do it in response to the need that we have if we want to be successful because otherwise, what we're doing is pushing people away. I mean, all the teachers that I know have been dragging that class to the end, because it's not that they don't like learning, it's because they're interested in learning things that are that matter to them. But I'm very honest. Albert, you want to, you want to close this out. Okay, so, so to answer that question again, I agree, not realistic. And, you know, one of the first things that there, I don't think there's a one next step I think it's to Laura's point earlier, I think we need to address these things collectively with no, if we learn nothing from, you know, for the past few years, is that we can just work on degrees or compensation or diversity without without paying attention to all those strands. But one of the things that I would do is about compensate, we need to find the public will and the public revenue or reallocation of some of our exchange dollars to dedicate a compensation I would just also put out there that right now today, without doing anything about where you know what kind of degrees and credentials early child educators have, we need to lift the floor, it is again not okay that early child educators get paid $10 an hour. And that's half of that that's median so that half of them are below that. And so we need to raise the floor to a living wage and however you define that standard and there are plenty of places that have helped you define that standard. And then we also need to raise the roof and. And I've seen what I've appreciated in the last few last year or so is that a number of places. I can think of like Rhode Island has done this Washington State, North Carolina has also done this DC is doing it is they've kind of been working on a salary for early child educators, and while just by having a sale doesn't mean you get the money to pay people at that scale. It is a stake in the ground about what early child educators need to have in terms of compensation at different levels of competency and degree and experience and I think by putting a second out then we know okay then we need so many so much more money into the system so that we can compensate early child educators more adequately. So, so just one thing to add on part of what what you said is is why I bring up, I brought up the larger financing piece but one thing that I would say in relationship to to compensation is that there are a lot of good. There are some initiatives to address the salary scale. I would say that there are also some initiatives around pay that I think move us farther away from increasing overall compensation around like well meaning initiatives like tax credits and wage subsidies that are helpful in the moment but not helpful for the long term compensation increases and so I think we should do more of the kinds of things that Albert mentioned some states are doing and less of some of these other ideas being tried. So that's all the time we have for today. Thanks everyone for joining the report is online and the financing report that Laura alluded to will be out later this month.
