Hey everyone, it's Early Access Day, and this weekend's video really feels like the type of video I would have done back in like 2013 or so. Whether that's a good or bad thing? I'll let you decide. Enjoy!
Do we accidentally give certain streamers a free pass to be awful by making fun of them the WRONG way? Buckley, who LOVES a good joke at someone else's expense, looks at recent controversies around live streamers like Pokimane, Frogan, and ExtraEmily, and how we potentially undercut the backlash they SHOULD receive by making easy jokes about them. Are they fun to make? SURE ARE! But is there a better way to call these people out when they're SO hypocritical, so awful, or in some cases, actual dangers to the general public?

Not just renowned shows like SNL. I recently got involved in community radio. Our producer was away so it was me and another person who had never been on the air before. 90 minute show. We had barely 20 minutes worth of topics. Our standby producer didn't know how to queue music and ended up accidently touching the duress alarm. So security show up while we are all on air. Point is prep is important, no matter what.

I can't think of a single person I would wish something like that on. We've all heard the phrase "I wouldn't wish X on my worst enemy." This definitely applies.
