Sup you beautiful bastards hope your'e having a
Fantastic Friday welcome back to the Friday show for those of you that a new here we put out a daily video Monday Tuesday
Wednesday Thursday talking about news world events and then Friday. It's all about the conversation
I go through the past week of videos and stories to see what you're commenting, and then I reply back
It's great to have a news show to try and be informed
but a big part of this really is the
Conversation. But before we jump into that I want to knock out a story that people have been requesting I cover since Tuesday
I'm just knocking it out here I didn't include it in this week's Philip DeFranco shows because it's not really news. It's YouTube drama
So actually on that note if you want to skip this part
You just jump here in the timeline. That requested thing was a reaction to the iDubbbz content cop on Ricegum
If you don't know what I'm talking about. I'll link to his video down below. But to oversimplify
It's a takedown piece by Ian, iDubbzTV, and here's the thing I am biased here
I am actually a big fan of iDubbbz when he releases a Content cop that's like a YouTube holiday for me I stop
What I'm doing and I watch the most negative thing I could say about the guy
Is he made me question people using certain words in certain contexts. But I understand his point of view and his argument
Here's the thing I will say without a doubt no one does take down pieces
Better than Ian this video here like his other content cops in the past. They're very well research additionally. He's a smart boy
He knows how people are going to react to certain things so he either
Preemptively cuts them off at the pass
So they can't use that or he allows them to react and respond a certain way because he knows they're going to overextend
We've seen that in the past with some of his targets
I mean we're talking about a guy that because he knew that someone was going to make fun of his hairline in a response video
Shaved his head and not like a clean shave like a fucked up shave
It's pretty damn hard to argue against any and all of the points
He made in that Ricegum video some of them were stories that we covered in the past like him destroying another youtubers property we
Covered that because it was an actual it's an actual crime there was outrage of him being dismissive and disrespectful
To a rape victim. And to all the people saying Oh Phil talk about iDubbbz ending Ricegum's career no
What idubbbz does is he maims careers he does a lot of damage
We're seeing that with ricegum who went from getting between 8,000 to around 16,000 new subscribers a day
But then the content cop video releases rice gum loses tens of thousands of subscribers
But then you slowly see it swing back to normal but soon enough rice will be back in the positive
What happens next is completely dependent on how ricegum responds all I would say is if I could give some advice to ricegum
It is don't handle this situation like you're doing something against Jake Paul Ian is a pro
Whereas Jay paul in certain states if you really mean to him that could be considered a hate crime?
But that's that let's jump into the Monday show Monday. We talked about the Vegas shooting
Justb wrote all major news channels: "over 50 kills and more than 500 injured an act of terror in Las Vegas
We'll be right back after this"
Insert drug commercials other ads makes me wonder how much the people at news agencies actually care
Are they sitting in a room thinking in their heads? We are going to make so much money and our ratings are gonna
Go through the roof not throwing every news journalist in one basket
But some executives anchors and news producers are probably thinking about how much money they're making that's a pretty interesting point obviously
I'm in a different basket I'm not 24/7 news
I have the ability like I did on Monday to move my sponsors my
Advertisements to turn off the YouTube ads I think for news stations
They're in a different basket obviously I also saw a lot of people saying hey Wall Street Journal did all those articles about
Advertisements being next to violent content all over
YouTube that this changes the game other outlets doing other hit pieces on YouTube but you and your more controlled environment of Wall Street
Journal's still put up all your ads around the violent content showcasing the videos with advertisements
Surrounding them. And so I guess I want to pass the question off to you is it wrong that
Websites keep their ads on those pages or no
This is new news should be funded too despite some of these outlets or the people that work at them being hypocrites
They're not profiting off of a terror attack
they are just profiting because they bring the news to people I mean if the standard practice became you don't have advertisements when you're
Talking about something that is that is too violent that take away the incentive for news agencies to cover it
I don't know I'm personally not going to crucify them for this because it's something that I'm still trying to think about I base my decision
On how I personally felt, I'm not saying that's the right way, so just let me know what you think. Ordinary Arie wrote
I think it's really upsetting that I'm somewhat desensitized to mass shootings
Just because of how many have occurred in my short lifetime my logical brain processes the tragedy
But you have to understand high school seniors were born the same year as Columbine in elementary school during
Virginia Tech in middle school during Sandy Hook and in high school during, Las Vegas
And I think the sad thing is I understand where you're coming from I remember covering, Virginia Tech. And please understand
I'm not making this about me
I'm mentioning this because maybe there are other people that feel this, but each time something happens
I do feel a little bit of myself chip away. The shootings
You talked about here the pulse nightclub the nice truck attack the 2015 Paris attacks
They just chip and chip and chip away, and then you just look and next thing
You know you're just looking at a video and your only response is again
You still hurt for the victims and the fact that it happened
But the shock is not there anymore. And just thinking that and saying that out loud. It just makes me realize how sad
That is. John summers wrote when a terrorist attacks us
We immediately start thinking ways to stop terrorists when mass shootings occur now isn't the time to talk about
Solutions with no political dog in this fight. Why can't we talk about gun control and John
I will say that in the past around shootings. I will say you know just within the first 24 hours
This is not the time to politicize this after seeing this happen over and over again
I think that it's worth a conversation, and we shouldn't villainize the fact that we should want to talk about it
And I also think this is a unique situation
And a great place to start talking about it. There are a few unique things about this story one from most everything
I've seen it seems that most if not all of the weapons he had were completely legal and two the shooting was done in such
A way that the prospect of a good guy with a gun
couldn't really stop the situation as it was happening the guy was shooting from a thirty second floor into what was
Essentially for him a killing field it's not the same kind of situation
We have the bad guy going into a school or a movie theater. Where a
Person with a handgun could stop them and personally I think wherever you land on the issue
We shouldn't villainize having a conversation about it then let's jump into the Tuesday show Tuesday
We talked about updates around the Vegas shooting some people promoting fake news we had the CBS
Firing the alleged rape by cops in New York and the Catalonian referendum. And actually before jumping into the comments
I did want to note something an update on the Tuesday show we talked about a lot of people promoting fake
News one of the people I mentioned was Tana Mongeau
Tana had previously posted a tweet where she said Donald Trump said that all the people being killed in in Vegas was a
Miracle. This was a complete butchering of reality, but I do have to say
How quickly the police department was able to get in was really very much of a miracle they've done an amazing job
I want to point out something she did after I uploaded the Tuesday show she tweeted my bad for promoting fake news
I literally hate Trump and should have watched further shout-out @PhillyD for helping me be less stupid
I will say minus all the
Overcompensating lol's that is exactly how you should respond to being proven wrong acknowledge it own it try and learn from it. Will she? Hopefully
It's not guaranteed, but it's a great first step on the Catalonian referendum Laura Llaneza
Thank you for covering the situation in Catalonia so accurately Phil, as a citizen of Catalonia
we want more people around the world to see what's happening to maybe get some interference and so we can have a peaceful conclusion to
This referendum because right now most of us are worried
it will end in a second civil war HandeToon wrote illegitimate or not the crackdown on the independence vote in Catalonia amounts to
Police told by the government to attack people they disagree with this is textbook
Fascism the Spanish government has no leg to stand on with this issue
Rumplelumpa wrote: Whether you agree with the referendum or not the reaction of the Spanish government was
incomprehensibly stupid how can you answer people writing something on a piece of paper with massive police influx and violence and then call it unconstitutional
They violated their own
Citizens, crushed their right on free speech and used massive force against them so one I agree with most people that Catalonia should be able
To do this at the very least be allowed to vote the fact that Spain's government sent in all those National Police you saw people
Being beaten in the street uncalled for unacceptable as far as I'm concerned
But I do want to mention why Spain's government thinks that they are in the right here it all comes down to Spain's democratic constitution of
1978 this gave Catalonia wide autonomy
But also affirmed quote the indissoluble unity of the Spanish nation, and so Spain's government is saying because this is in the Constitution
This is illegal so essentially their argument is hey your fathers, and your grandfather's they made this political decision
So sorry if it's the will of the people you are ours and also
It's important to understand that a lot of anger that we're seeing today in Catalonia stems from
2006. In 2006 Catalonia passed something called the statute of autonomy of Catalonia and
to oversimplify it just defines the rights and obligations of citizens of Catalonia this ended up going to the
Constitutional Court of Spain it took them four years
And after those four years they decided to strike down 14 of the Articles
And they also dictated the interpretation of 27 more
and that pissed off a ton of
Catalonians over a million people reportedly took to the streets in Barcelona and one of their prominent chants where we are a nation we decide
And so things like that or where you're getting people that they want to be separate
They feel like they're supposed to have been granted autonomy, but they're not really in control of their lives well
I understand why there are people that are on the side of Spain's government how they handled it is
Horrible in my opinion all they're doing is escalating the situation and breeding more animosity on the CBS firings
ZiePe wrote stop getting people fired. It's okay to notify CBS. But don't demand them to fire an employee
They should have simply stated that the views of the employee don't represent the view of the company and go on with their lives this
Stupid circle of outrage getting people fired and then that person is issuing a fake apology doesn't get us anywhere
And it's not very conducive for free speech and on the opposite. End we had Budemawa writing
Yes, that woman should have been fired because she is a public face of CBS and this is bad PR for them
It's not the same as the guy who was fired from Google because he wasn't a public figure and Matmanp wrote regarding
CBS firing if we allow temporary insanity as defense for murder we should consider it for online Commons that is a very interesting thought that
I had not considered. I'll be honest well one
I would say you can plead insanity that doesn't mean you just get off scot-free
Secondly on the note of someone being a public face for your company
Anyone can really be the public face for your company if on their profile under their picture. They have where they work
just
Prominently display that person by the general public is going to be seen as a representative of your company
That said as far as the firing
I'm personally split if one of my people said something like this it really wouldn't even be about public perception
I just wouldn't want to work with that person
It's an incredibly disgusting
mindset and to the first comments saying freedom of speech
You're talking about the government coming down on you arresting you
It's not freedom from people's responses people get to still respond you can be fired and as far as going after people's employers
That is that is the new way anytime
Anything happens now. They go after the the employer if it's if it's a online personality. They go after the sponsors
I think as more people get used to the internet people start building tougher skin words start mattering less people start taking aim at what
Is at the core of a person's ability to live and that is their money. I'm not saying
It's right, but this is the new normal and then let's talk about the Wednesday show Wednesday
We talked about the woman who fakes her own kidnapping Rex Tillerson and Donald Trump and morongate more updates around the Las Vegas
Shooting on the Rex Tillerson story johnny schwifty wrote it is petty stuff. It's not proper news for that level of media
It's bullshit gossip magazine. Level news. The news at that level is there for the public to be informed about important issues
It's important for the public to know that their secretary of state still and always has wanted to serve
It's not important to know whether or not he called Trump a moron. But the media knows if they can get a headline saying Sec. of state
calls president a moron that would generate a ton of clicks because a lot more people have their attention set on reality TV type drama the
media knows that's not a relevant question to ask in the grand scheme of things but ask it anyways because that petty shit sells and
Johnny I just I disagree with that if your understanding of the story is person A said mean thing about person B oh shoot
In that very narrow view point you could be like oh, this is petty bullshit
but what we're talking about here is a report that says a
Secretary of State after an important meeting called his boss the person ultimately making the decisions a moron not to just one person
but in a situation
open enough that there can be several sources reporting this and that's a big deal because you want your secretary of state and
President on the same page and as we've seen from trump tweets and Rex Tillerson interviews
They do not seem to be on the same page on some big things to me that story and claim isn't about the word moron
This is about a potential alleged clash of the highest levels of government
And so that's why I personally see as how Rex Tillerson answered those questions the other day as a dodge
He definitively he specifically denied the part that he had to be talked into staying in his position
He opted against giving a specific
definitive answer in regards to if he said the president was a moron Johnny that is just where I land and we can have a
difference of opinion here
And then let's talk Thursday show Thursday
We had the Cam Newton sexism controversy Mark Salling being a sex offender the Netflix price increase and the u.s.
voting no on the UN death penalty resolution. On the Cam Newton story super atheist wrote it is funny to hear a woman talk about
Routes by the way what are routes? sports!
Thank you, I needed a laugh today luna malfoy wrote, I lost a lot of respect for Cam with that statement
I've watched football my entire life. I know route stats of players I can see when the team lines up the type of play
They're trying to run. It's not uncommon to talk to a woman who knows about a sport
She watches you think we're turning it on for the padded bodies and commercials no
We're watching it because we want to when we enjoy the sport and the Votted wrote I think the 45 percent female fan base
Is a somewhat skewed statistic as a person who works in Uptown Charlotte where the Panther Stadium is on Sundays
I got a shit-ton of football fans coming to my shop and I can assure you that even though
45% of the audience is women I see and talk to a true majority the women had just brought by their boyfriends
And/or just there for the spectacle of watching sports in a public place
So there are few things to hit on the first is the 45%
Number was kind of just on the side one of the reasons why I said that may not be your personal life
Experience is because in my circle
I really only know two women that watch football. One is my wife
And it's really less about watching football and more watching my reaction
as I pay attention to my fantasy league and then the
Fantastic Nikki Lemo who's actually in my fantasy league, although I would argue
She actually has a deeper knowledge of football than myself
probably nut the reason that's an aside as I mentioned in the video is this isn't about all women is about a
Journalist in the sports field who has been following the Panthers for a year
This is a reporter not an on-camera personality if she didn't know the ins and out she wouldn't be good at her job
Also to the people I saw saying Cam Newton apologized
Let's just move past this at the time of your comment at the time of this video
He had not the closest thing to that is that he said he should have made the critique about all reporters
Not singled her out as a woman
But that doesn't make sense that's like it's funny hearing you say that then maybe you could see like okay
I see how like you and all reporters how that might be interchangeable. That's not what happened
He acted like he saw a monkey using tools
But after my video went up after he lost his
Sponsorship Cam Newton did finally apologize on his Twitter released this video where he said these key points After careful thought
I understand that my word choice was extremely
degrading and disrespectful
to women
and to be honest that was not my intentions and
If you are a person who
took offense to
What I said, I sincerely apologize see don't be like me
Be better than me
Although with all of that said I will say I'm not on the fuck Cam Newton train
Maybe it's because the NFL has kind of lowered the bar for me
But if an ignorant comment is the worst we're getting from him right now
He's a saint, but that said my favorite comment directed towards Cam Newton around this situation was quote
How's Cam Newton gonna act like she doesn't know what a post route is when he's the one with the eighth worst quarterback rating in
The league why you gotta cam like that hes on an upswing did you see him last week?
He throw as many touchdowns against New England as
Interceptions against New Orleans but whatever were past this that's actually where I'm gonna end today's show I do want to thank all of you
beautiful bastards for another fantastic week
