Story 2
Trump Shares Babylon Bee Article, Thousands Accept Jesus Into Their Hearts
Summary: WASHINGTON, D.C.—Thousands around the world are forsaking their sins and receiving Christ this week after Trump shared an article from The Babylon Bee.
The Babylon Bee is widely known as the most Christian website ever created. In fact, it is so insanely Christian that a single share on social media has the power to instantly save hundreds of souls. According to sources, Trump was ignorant of this fact before sharing the article.
- The knowingly fake story came from Babylon Bee, a satire site with a conservative bent, and claimed, in jest, that Twitter was shutting down its platform to prevent the spread of negative news about Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
- "Wow, this has never been done in history. This includes his really bad interview last night. Why is Twitter doing this," Trump tweeted.
- Also mentioned: Video of Trump being normal guy at church in Las Vegas.
Story 3
Summary: After a year-long excursion into the belly of the beast, Dr. Jordan Peterson emerged this week and was dismayed to find millions of Americans worshipping at the altar of a golden Karl Marx statue. Overtaken with righteous anger, he smashed his stone tablets containing 12 Rules for Life into tiny pieces.
- Jordan Peterson seems to be back posting to his YouTube channel a video entitled Return Home.
- He had been out of the public eye for a very long time with a severe reaction he had to a anti-anxiety medication he had been taking as prescribed but became chemically dependent upon when he tried to cease taking it
- He ended his video by saying, “"With God's grace and mercy, I'll be able to start generating original material once again and pick up where I left off."
- We are interviewing Mikhaila soon so stay tuned for that!
Topic of the Week: Facebookgate and the challenges of writing comedy for the internet
- Facebook took down this facebook post Senator Hirono Demands ACB Be Weighed Against A Duck To See If She Is A Witch
- 'It's literally a regurgitated joke from a Monty Python movie!" the Bee's CEO exclaimed.
- Facebook completely deactivated any monetizing tools for us on their site.
- Kyle’s tweet thread about this.
- What makes writing comedy for the internet difficult? How the articles are seen, shared, received, etc.
- It’s like a comedy show where you can’t talk to the audience directly. Instead, you must tell your jokes to Mark Zuckerberg. Then, he edits your joke and walks out to your audience and tells them the ones he finds appropriate. You’re never sure if a “bomb” is your fault or Mark’s.
- Check out Kyle’s op-ed in Thursday’s edition of the WSJ
- Kyle mentioned this Vulture article on how Facebook is killing comedy
- Funny or Die was thriving, then Facebook came along. They fired a bunch of their writers ‘cause it was impossible to write for Facebook’s algorithm. Every post throttled, etc.

Kyle Man and even the call this
the Babylon Bee Fake news. You can trust
Welcome everybody to the Babylon Bee Podcast Kyle, either in this is the point
guess that incites the most violence of all podcast on the internet. It incites a lot of words and words of violence. This is true because we talk a lot yeah, which is weird because we don't talk a lot until we do a podcast. We just quietly sit and think and judge people.
We just been the builds up speak for yourself, man. I don't judge anymore. I think I'll comedians judge people as I get the comedy I
to have a grumpy old man and tell you it's a Seinfeld quote. He said every cleaning has like a little grumpy old man in them. It's just judging everything. Yeah you release that pressure. Everybody wants to voice,
and they go yeah. I've done that's what I think too. I guess I see more is just a general countrary anism or like always trying to find that third angle, so you just dress it up with fancy words, but it's just being a grumpy man is being grown in a group. The
So we're gonna talk a little bit of this episode about how we did get accused of inciting violence, and that's true and we'll see if you agree with yeah Mark Zuckerberg himself knocked on our door how's. He talk. I do believe you've been sighted violence. That's how I assume he would assume hey guys, hey guys. I just sold this post that you put up where there's Mico
there's this duck and suggesting that they want to burn her and the duck just. I just wanted to say that you guys are just probably inciting violence, some
yeah, so yeah your ability to make money we're just going to get rid of that we're just going to turn that off yeah. So just a little alright see ya thanks! You guys got Nissan
the person who is your bathroom equipped and then what
it's like really lame. Like see you later that he thinks that all the cool kids say he's like alright guys or he goes in to the
dignan. Kindly ok, earnestly on
turns and he walks into the closet, and I are the wrong door exits. Never,
or it is hangs there in thinking like maybe we'll watch a movie or some you didn't get the leg
that gets done. We're done here done, go
yeah guys want to hang up. Mark Zuckerberg out,
give greater this entire markets are covered. We know nothing about a mother who is Facebook. I know this for a while
he drove like the hand of civic hatch back even after he was a billionaire still
like a little too Bedroom House Indra around in this large bank? Now only the big thing about him. Is he never like got the big car and stuff I bit by?
now. It's probably went by nice gastronomy.
Want to know yeah you're that you got that much money. That's your haircut! That's always weird to me! Yeah! That's so weird! I assume you can be working and have a personal person that
sit there. Waiting to your hair is grown exactly the way
should be in then they walk up and just do it and then
back and sit down, and then they wait. You could probably just get like perma hair installed at that point. That's true, like yeah, just a pet, you know cheap yeah, no,
the Erika again now that will grow to keep up with each word association. Sometimes speaking of weird mobility, some stuff, that's good. We asked up it's good
But now this week's edition of Stuff- that's good. Speaking of speaking of my four year old now has discovered the phrase
speaking of, but he has no idea how to use it. So he just goes like oh dad. Speaking of couches, I want a cookie,
You look out man. I love that all right, so my stuff, that's good! This week, I'm going to decide right now. I put two things on here
I mean I recommend Celeste, which is asked that a person, a video game
Ok, let's say it: one of those indeed side, scrolling games, pixel art so looks like something. It looks like a really higher ticket
pretty prettier version of something you would have played on the Super Nintendo and it's got great music kind of that eight bit sound. Although it's not technically eight bit, I know nerds, I know, but it's it's
it's kind of like super meat boy. If you ever played super meat boy where you just have these screens like a particular screen, is really hard to get through like a mega man screen except you always get to respond at the start of the screen. So it's like I try to do. I try. I try to do it. You get infinite, lied to just try over and over until you get to the next,
I just picture like a woman who works at the DMV. When I hear the name. Celeste, hey guys, Celeste here something like that
and you said than done, assuming you have, she may have account crimped blonde hair that glasses and she was.
kind of just is kind of nice. She drives like a baron and there's just her name's Celeste. She likes her lates. How can I help you today? She has to have a more
Is your picture I'm trying to connect with yours, alas,
I don't know hi hi guys. How are you doing now? Are you really dv? Your soul is dead, so she wouldn't hardly talk next registration registration, please
anyway. Spherical had spoken. I, like a coin about soundtrack and cool
so this show is not for everybody would have to show that I got I'm hooked on in the in the embarrassing part of it. Is that it's on the lifetime channel? Now it wasn't when I started watching this on Amazon, but it's now on the life
I found that new episodes or this since I watched it. So if you issue
You meet somebody and they went through a crazy experience where they almost died. Like someone was,
them or tried to or some crazy, like that, the show called I survived: dot dot, dot the lips, I survived, ellipse
They decided an lips, the title it's weird, but they went for it and it's just people
it's usually like three stories and they kind of go between them and a lot of
or is it like pretty the graphic they don't? But there's no image is two percent telling it a kind of brake too
there are many reenactments, it's very kind of em. It's almost like podcast plus
I like it and you didn't know interviewer you can hear but they're just
their story of how, like this cycle,
tried to kill them or they got stuck in the mountains or something that like the very
intense stories a fascination with those stories because they made it out so like they're, telling this from other
side of the thing that everybody wonders. What would I do in that situation? It's a good show. I pulled a vending machine on top of myself when, but I survived, I'm just trying to
kind of thing: no, a lot of them are pretty horrible. I got like a tax choose like a teen agent. You got attacked by this, basically like a psycho, he
here head with a sledge hammer and then cut her arms.
Hatchet cut her arms off with a hatchet and he thought she's dead, but she crawled out in like survived and like the got they got the guy and that she has missing arm
So, like I said it's more of the warning, the true story- sensation
So no vending machine learning this young training
The good news is no. It's like. I said it is pretty dark. As people go, these pretty bad stuff,
if you play the video games for less and you're feeling happy cause. It's so peppy and such a great cartoon art, and you want to feel more down yeah watch. I
that's a weird I feel like I wanted to, but ass. There is shows like that. I'm not shows like that. It's because, if you show like that sounds pretty good cause, it's pretty soon. It's just not they'll have the stupid narrator,
Carol thought the night was going to be normal. Then she had a do
With disaster, everyone thought Mister,
Jones was just an ordinary husband. What they didn't know as you like,
he wasn't just bringing back the groceries. He was bringing back two bags of murder.
Bags of murder of the episode. That's beautiful, okay, let's do some weird news
this has been stuff. That's good! This news is weird space station leak, repaired repaired with help from floating tea leaves. There's air leaks.
don't leaking air in a space station. This is correct. Why? Well because, then you run out of air when you die.
Could you have air that you may oxygen. You'd sits fake air with real answer. I think it's recirculated
and then it goes out a whole want that hole there. That's correct
like we have a hole in your pool. You kids, you plan and also the poles are deflate.
Crap, where the hole nobody's confined these holes.
next time you get a hold on your pool. Take some tea leaves
them in there and then it will start to float towards the hole. That's the
the outside its hard part with pools, but with
space station you rip you rip open an air hole. Is that an airhole okay yeah because
we have a water is coming cheap. We don't have water, we don't have a real pool like you, MR well Mine's above ground, I an mighty okay set. Is it settled down star picture? Look it's really big in like okay, but it's above ground. Okay, like the biggest above
you can get for your life like we're wondering why the previous owners didn't just go with the bull graph because you're like oh there, it was already there. Is it like they.
Whole deck around? Is it made of like plastic or it was like middle? It's like permanent is a legitimate, legit profit pool, but then it's like one in June, just
white trash. My family is like we went to visit and the kids like playing a pool, so they bought a giant like a horse trough and they played in that it makes a good pool heat pool yeah. Why not
yeah, but anyway the space station, so they took out some dealey like they ripped open a bag of tea.
follow the leaves and issue, and then they used some captain tape. What's captain to K a patio, maybe they called upon captain tape.
O k like it's a tape
space it something in their Norton, was ignoring it. Yeah captain difficult cap into soviet Russia, or whatever
I guess breathable bacon face mask, gives where
is the aroma of bacon

if you like, breathing bacon.

breakfast meets specifically Bacon and don't have a sausage mask

I want to know, do they just take base masks, rub bacon on them and then sell.
Wouldn't that be better in terms of bacon, smelling technology nothing's better than the real thing yeah, like double line, your mask with bacon, you could just put bacon or a mask just made from bacon bacon,

more coming about them are, is that of Baltimore
an accent, but the failure was that trumpeted trump likes at others.

I like how well he's come off an audio when you have to explain so there's this, the black poster get it. I like some of the commenters were like yeah. You made me feel smart. I had to read and think about that one. This one says LOS Angeles is blank like they think there was a typo

First, Washington DC thousands around the world are forsaking their sins and receiving Christ. This week after Trump, certain article from the Babylon
do we need to
say this? The Babylon Bee as widely known nurse christian website ever created. I almost wrote this article as Trump accepts Jesus knows, are in there
proof of his salvation. Then we went the other way and then Trump was seen in Vegas. Do you see that video? Where he's in Vegas at the church?
I fell the babble on me joke about it and he pulls like twenties out of his pocket and he sits there and he's like waiting for the Bering playing these oh drops in
and he's like doing this he's like closing his eyes and raises so almost a problem. I see a field, but I went the wrong direction with the Joe SAD, that's
the beautiful video. By the way, if you want to go, look up the video trump in the Vegas Jump in the worship he's just sitting there
like any normal person in church he's like looking around and then like. They announce they're, doing the offering, and he say it's going like feeling for his wallet and he pulls out the water cash and he's like counting it like, and these I
holding it. While he was for the bucket to come, I would hate it at a camera on camera on me. Then, during that it's bad test and you get out the money, it's so awkward. You like the guy with the bug, comes and Trump slick,
and then he's like looking like do. I need to do anything else when you sign anything and they're like you're good, I got a receipt and he's like just fantastic. So anyway, look up that video.
shared article from the ban will be writing. This is a big
because he's here to couple now, there's really. We had some yes raisins and retreated
certainly in a comment on right. I think,
this is the first one is actually publicly like a quote: tweet yeah, so you do what you did in the quote. His were really
okay, so I wake up Friday morning. Let me paint a picture for you.
on Friday morning, I always check my phone kind of look at how the sites doing what the views are doing. We have three to four times our usual views. Yeah, it's like six, a m. This is a lot and I'm like
the heck like: oh, no, something bad, it's usually there something horrible happened or like some article with crazy viral, or somebody thought something that was was really ah yeah. So I'm looking at kind of maybe what happened so I'm like! Oh no tons of text, a text from my brother text from my family. I've got a bunch of slack messages from her. I was on a huge animation deadline that day and I kept seeing a pop up and I'm just like. I can't so you're just staring at
Did you even know that it happened? I got glimpses of the edited. I could see the first thing in the morning I saw I think I actually saw his tweet cuz. It said you get notifications when approved account, organelle stream counts, or I saw people responding to him or something
just like moving on my phone phone was just getting notifications. Getting notifications didn't have a chance to chance. Yeah rest was crazy, so Trump tweeted. This story
shuts down entire network to slow spread of negative bite and news. We put that up right after twitter came back because
went down for a couple hours right when they were trying to shut down the whole Hunter Biden story.
right and they were literally blocking it like I try. I tried in the area that you can. I never what a shared at noon, trying our postal onto other well sensing, and so we did his joke that, while they
They try to shut down the Biden story. I've only sharing it. He just shut twitter down for a couple of hours. They shut down the whole network, we posted it trump
here's a says via the Babylon Bee. Well,
This has never been done in history. This includes wait. I got like. I can't do a Trump voice yeah. I don't know how to do that. Wow. This is
ever been done in history. This includes is really bad interview last night. Why is twitter doing this? Bringing more
tension to sleepy Joe and big t is big. T hose is big. I think that big tech, no that's, no big tech- must be big tech.
It is that what we're thinking or is that a rapper big tea? It sounds sleepy joe and big tea live at the glass sounds. I don't know Joe big tea big tea time. I'm gonna search, Google for sleepy chow on Big T hat sounds like a tv show. Big t sleep on
big tee the adventures? So then he clung you. He clarified it later amendments. I guess you can clarify this centre and clarified intelligent car
Oh really, I didn't see that one. He just like shared it again and just had more comments about. Oh really yeah. I missed that completely like a lot of people talking,
this as I suspected that he just like.
Because we know that he knows or the Babylon Bee he shared it before we've talked to people that work with him and they've told us he likes it.
Your assumption is that he he just was army. I think that he thinks in this, like stream of consciousness way there when he's. Ok,
Look at this story about the general topic at what happened on Twitter. He shares ages
talking about what happened on Twitter. That's that's my sense of it,
but maybe he really thinks they did. I'm I'm
I wouldn't be surprised and not trying to jump to his defense yeah. There was the two responses where Trump was Trump was a master troll when he was trolling the left. By sharing the set,
It sounds like you're, totally fooled. Yeah you're practical
the reality. Is that he's just eyes and article and then.
Maybe even if you realize it was satire after he posted or whatever like. I don't think you he
oh I'm an idiot. This is way, and he thought is that tired
talking about a general thing which was pretty insane the whole Hunter Biden, new story near posting I was
really weird mean that was shocking to me and to be fear, the article might be true right.
Quite possible that you imagine the opposite.
like imagine a new story comes out from some news company about one of trumps kids
And it's like saying all they did crack and then in this and there they had some something. That's gonna ruin Trump like to block it
for that social media to actually block the link. That's insane right thing of another,
makes it sound like wasn't like is like police state insanity, but we accept it because it's like a more just the left. That's what made them then that's what they do insane insane.
They are so afraid of repeating the twenty sixteen election. They say all this russian propaganda was spread across our platform. They always see the end of hilarious campaign as when they did the whole email. The Wikileaks email thing. I think that was in October too, when all the email stuff came out about her, and so I think there
just desperate and then I had a huge strides. In effect I never woulda heard, but I don't know if I would hear about the story. I never would have thought about trying to post it. No, but I was just curious. I'm like I lived.
really want to put share a link, and I can't- and I want to share it and said that this link is found
be it may sound like it was like you're gonna get hacked if you share something. Yet this is dangerous for the dangerous link since Andy stolen last autumn put any info
That shows that it is like the others know. I've never have, I, namely says, is proving its false.
Not even sure, then I'm ready money then going to it would never do that for it from story. We live
They ve taken the most outlandish, even cabinet, with just the craziest stories. Oh yeah sure there's never been this where it's like. Oh that's, that's it! I'm voting for
It is literally that kind of stuff that makes me want to vote for Trump. Just that's what I'm saying is he's gonna. Do that screw you vote for Trump, just because that's messed up
next story. You are radicalizing guys like me. They just want to slam down Ethan we're going on to the next store story. Three trump. No sorry yeah!

They say the point that he realized. He was kind looking dependent on. He tried to break himself up and that's what cause all the issues it was like. Apparently he break

The media is the meat dress, but why does it say why
Wikipedia page, I'm just a meat dress. I kind of respect if she's just doing it just because address

Probably it was a long time ago. It's a foam. Meat draft is a real or fake. It's not real. It's not real meat, yeah, not real. That's really disappointing genes record were sended.

yeah. I'm excited to talk to Mikayla. It's gonna be interesting to talk to her, because all I want- and I just want to ask about Her- dad the whole time. Okay, so you've got this meat. I think cool. So tell me how you
Peterson is doing how it deals with that. A lot that's connected to a famous person yeah, but you know that'd be weird of a famous dad. That's what I ask her. That's! What's it like coming in get daddy, went viral and famous like we got to get to behind the scenes, JP stores. Remember we asked Dave Ruben. Some of those questions part stories give us all the arts. What does it? Jordan, Peterson say a three parts? Oh man, but that's not good.
That's so right topic of the let's do it. Okay, guys spot
guess. We talk a lot about christian creatives, trying to write comedy and trying to reach culture and doing the fun stuff yeah
mention. A new movie called small group. The movie we talked to match estine.
Greater progress in a little while ago, but when he's doing how he's trying to create movies that make not just Christians, I've but other people, ass, smooth and best picture
the international Christian Film Festival was recommended to us by our friend Keri Davis, who we all love. We got to have her back. We got to have a space back, she said of the film
small group? Isn't what I've come to expect from christian movies? It's not cheesy. It is really well written, acted and beautifully shot. I laughed out lot of
but then there were moments that I actually cried. Tim Bryan
described it as one hundred proof unfiltered
form theology demands to hit you in the heart without getting you over the head. So small group in a movie
It's now available on dvd or Blu ray at small group movie, dot com or for dinner
streaming on Amazon on Amazon. So you can just watch watching on Amazon boom.
And now the battle one of the week, all right, I don't know how this topic of the week is gonna go, but let's give it a shot. So this week we had a post senator Hirono demands a Cbb wait against a duck to see if she's a witch later on, we got a message from
facebook. True, right later on, we got a message from Facebook saying Facebook violated our community standards and I'm
figure out why it didn't tell us they tell you what posted just hey by the way you file for me to send
hey current say, that's kind of like when you walk, and you see somebody you you talk to all week in and they like. You really offended men last week, what its wits, like being with your wife right yeah,
and she's, like you. Finally, I walk in and she's matter union. You know why.
she knows know, and I know tat. You know you know what you know. It suffers the mark Zuckerberg like our
we will have one wife
not that weird of a religious cult. Justin
is so much it's so funny, so got
So I got a message and later on. Our social media guy met he's like eight because knows that
has been taken down like one, so we go back
completely deleted. I go and I d go through there
access to like appeal, that what is this Hamas? We had nothing back, so we go to social media
We start like brazen, mainly knowingly alarm. Ok, that's good! That's that's really good at in his eye
if they're killing the conservatives are shooting us in the face or jobs yeah and it's kind of true yeah. So that's true for demo.
So we're like wait and wait and eventually turn out that, because the posts said she's a which we must burn her
you're inciting violence. You that's from
five hundred, that is from line to judge how you like assets and that for the funds
no matter money, python or whatever. It's like we're, quoting this character, who's saying we
We have to burn her for being a witch after weighing her against the duck
if you're going to take that one line seriously to take the whole thing seriously and the fact that we're quoting a character that we, like so resend it to her owner,
really say this, and we're making fun of her like her whole
demeanor and her whole. She, the one who are making fun of that like we're, making fun of this idea that she's like because she's the one who asked her f ouch ever committed sexual yeah. So it's like hilarious, so we're
situation as a base would it sounded like was whirled over what they claim is. The aim
algorithm comes along and goes it says we must burn her
inciting violence detected, and they just
tomorrow and leading auto deleted, but there is, but then we were told we
the old it we reviewed it were standing firm.
you have to take. You have. Your page continues to be dinged and suppressed and be monetized, which is that makes it different. It's not the algorithm. Now, there's
person citizen person sitting there going now really does like. I could see somebody reading that and then just getting at it, but
knife and running out of the room, and God knows what happens next. We have two whole which try
Amalon B said so you gotta go burn. Somebody burns and people at this day get the kerosene. So I did actually just before this podcast I talked to Seth and he said that he got a call from Facebook
and they said they were gonna. Martin Zuckerberg on the phone mark, Zuckerberg not really, and he said they're gonna reverse it so, but they were like man hang in. There goes our persecution and they said
Why don't you guys just call us man
Like these,
exactly what you said. Yeah man gives you text me. You could have just called us luck
Are you and what you see? No man- and I know what you want to do. I gotta pee Wee Herman movie, because one was the driver was what the movie that that, like us,
One of those kinds of people would want to watch bio dome. That's the worst
Probably or maybe he was very inspired by. I don't know that is the worst movie. I've ever seen my life- I don't know if I ever made it throughout. Do we had a guy at our church. She was like a very kind guy, very gentle and always like, and take care of us bring us free pizza and all the stuff we were.
As back to the pride- and he goes have you guys ever seen- Bio Dill, so we rented it. My parents were rented. It for us- and we all sat down- we like what in the world where's movie, I ever seen. What are we talking about
CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Zuckerberg, so just so they took so back a
obviously were re monetize. We know we don't really moments ago. If we don't really monetize to Facebook right yet, but we knew tat, we do you. Some of the tools were well tat, a sponsor and all that stuff. You can't do that and then pursue
because you have this yellow flag on your page. Your posts are going to be more like, monitor and and suspect. Nobody knows the inner workings of the alarm. So that's
More of what I wanted to talk about more broadly as this,
idea of writing comedy on internet running company in the social media age. Could it's it's
different than it used to be twenty years ago.
So, twenty years ago you know, I would go on home, star runner com in the morning yeah. You know, like I had these sites that I
I thought you had like your list yeah we had bookmarks and you would go open all these bookmarks. I want to see what home star runner has to say: member stumble upon yeah yeah, where they would just bring up like when you
What's it about nine, your browser and his colleague media find a whole new website to go to and all these different yeah
this kind of this wild west of what comedy and content creation were you, families, Corky websites, and you would? I would
the community's. You know like there was like this one had a forum and you'd go talk with like minded people who, like this also in ITALY, for
little communities with form and comment sections sections you get to know people and it a different time. You know now you have
the right for the algorithm
thing I were every headline we run on. The ban will be, I have to go, houses can perform on Facebook. He is eating
My in my memory, this could be, I see everything through the through the prism of my life, but when cop went viral it didn't seem like
It seemed like no matter what I posted that at that time, and it could be just because that cap was so popular at the time, but I remember a shifting.
Very blatantly one day every
post, got a certain amount of views and likes and responses. It was big
and then suddenly one day it was really small
I looked into it and they just change the policy that, like you, have basic to pay to reach your audience and the only way
work around. That is if people naturally organically share your hosts, and I don't even know how you measure that, like exactly how does the I don't know how that,
There are certain amount of suppression that happens every day,
get shared it
suppresses some of it. I don't know how it works, but
Then then I learned in my bear stuff there from my bare book bears want to kill you ve Eeyore yeah ice,
I realize that there are certain if I made certain meme type stuff, it would break through that and I could get all these thousands and hundreds of thousands of shares without paying which it costs a lot of money, get the
of exposure. Yes, you're not making necessarily and your memes. This is the people that have already liked your page and want your content right. So your memes, your bare memes, are hilarious and people love them and they get stolen. All the time and share you were
people have gotten way more shares on them than I ever did so maybe it was good in a way that it forced you into this other form of comedy. You didn't want to write, but at the same time it wasn't the comedy you set out to write you didn't set out to write like bear me right.
But it turned into bears, want to kill you sad because, like I make, you know, I'm a comical Burma given is of labor of love
It's never going to do well on the internet because it long form its long for,
not every panel is in that and means are the other. Far jokes, basically, is the simple dumb people see that format and Nancy S quick, easy to easy thing, and yet so the internet doesn't cater to quality content. Equators three get caters to the quick.
gut reaction to somebody wanting to click, which is why outrage is so big. I think about. I use this metaphor of
like if you were a comedian and you are trying to reach your audience and then all of a sudden mark sucker
we're comes along and closes the curtain and you're soon mining learn any Gus
I love, or I just bought the cedar so yeah, actually by the way one second and he goes hey you're, just gonna tell me or jokes and then I'll decide which ones your audience can see and then I'll just walk out there and
and tell them so he does ND, then you're, sitting behind the curtain and, like you, hear them laughing to this joke and not laughing at that joke and laughing at this one and you're. Like I don't know, I don't know which ones did well yeah. I don't know
I posted you well or don't you will write it. There's like this level of
disconnect from your audience sucks. If you go
look at the onion when they were a paper physical printed paper. There's somebody dumb jokes if he would tell
I mean that in the kindest way possible like they could do a little classified and little little picked up this thing, and you were just passively like flipping through this paper, but now every joke. We tell
it feels like you're always trying to hit a home run. You know like because that's how social media works be a home run and doesn't necessarily have to be a home run as far as like a golden joke, it has to be something that right people will share people. So even it's just like man aren't democrat
dumb yeah killer boom, thousands, ten thousand chicks. I think it's. What do you call it a clapper that laughter yeah,
yeah. I think people see a social media share not as like check out the hilarious joke, but it's like they identify with that
this is something I want to share, because I want to say something or young, I really
you're, putting it on your wall, so you're right. So, like your facebook page, is your wall yeah, so you're not gonna meme? Is you think you would hang on your digital house wall? So this is me right it to some extent he
Right, you remind myself. I think you.
you. Imagine the representing on your page, just as like, when
decorate your house, you think like this is all stuff of people. This is the impression want to make on people. So yes, it's.
It's different than people
people want to represent themselves with the things they share and that's different than
it is laughed at it. It would be nice if he does MIKE everybody and if they laugh out loud in real life,
then the algorithm, here's the laugh and that perpetuates it, and then you get like a share
a actual lag,
What laugh reaction is actual y yeah real left out loud that have not build a hear them too
can now get only here, laughs, I've heard em I've heard
gee. I guess you could have been in other, be laughed farms, thief pay to get more earlier. You're. The ethic of some south American or for the Philippines,
whenever they they hire out. Laugh farms and adjustments learn how you can get your post. Your warehouse, I saw her jerry's. I felt say that
Writing on running jokes on twitter would be his hell. This is like. I cannot hear my audience like for him that writing
to life just about until we got Patrick? We couldn't hear anything that makes me feel funnier. I know like well. People laugh at us. Oh wow. I hope that's how you sounded
there's an article on vulture, you guess you read is called how Facebook is killing. Comedy cannot be linked in our show knots, and you can look it up call how facebooks can comedy
an interview with Matt met man who worked at funny or die so he died. It was
and then he didn't tell one of them is funny and teaches immediately died.
But he wrote this: he did his interview with vulture after funnier die had to do another round of lay offs. They killed her entire editorial team. Basically because Facebook
pivot to video where they told everybody we're going to promote video content. That's what's hot now, video, so everyone
fired other writers and hired video guys, like you, were doing video.
Content and then it turned turned out like that. Didn't make any money on Facebook and Facebook was taken. The
money wasn't going to the kind of greater than they all fired, the video team and
so they gutted the gutted they gutted funny or die. So he wrote on Twitter. Mark Zuckerberg, just walked into funnier, die, die and laid off all my friends, you know there's
Simply no money in making comedy online anymore. Facebook is completely destroyed, independent digital comedy and,
I really sympathise with everything says, citizens are of what I'm saying about how he's about how we comedy writers. Are,
trying to figure out what the algorithm was. I have to write for the algorithm it sucks yeah, I go to headlines and I'm like. Oh that's, a great headline, yeah Facebook's, going to kill that we have to change it.
Ultimately, we can write that yoke and in its purest form you know five hundred people are going to read it versus we have to edit it. So fate is already good for Facebook and then fifty thousand people read even though its worst yo.
That, too, is the reality is something I have to do. It sucks
you'll excuse it did.
Skews everybody further into their corner yuck. As your following one
you want? That's a facebook is doing with the algorithm it's going like. What do you want to see
making your many more extreme, which is supposed to be, I think, I think, than there
altruistic purpose in all these, our than the Sufis too, like avoid fake news,
There's something so they say. I don't know what they're really trying to do,
but whatever they're trying to do what they are doing is they're, making everybody more extreme in their political views. That's probably true: they're creating ECHO chambers
and also incentivizing the most ridiculous, the most outlandish, the most extreme language.
And sucks? It's writing comedy trial and error, all comedies trial and error, but we can have a
joke, and then it's like, oh shoot. I guess Facebook doesn't like that word, you know. Usually the trial and error is the audience laughing or not. Now it's the algorithm except the robot going or not, which is weird mark Zuckerberg funny. That's not! I don't get that one. I don't get that joke burn her. What that's really offensive.
Have you seen by home not interrupt
I think, all moderators that Facebook need to watch Monty Python. That should be required course. Ethan's, never seen him. I've seen
somebody I was too young. I got to go back and watch all those. Let's move on everybody
his favorite thing in the world.
Hate me
Miss.
Here at the Babylon Bee. Everybody loves us except a few people who hate us and they send us hate man. Here's the hate mail that we got this week and everybody loves that hate mail
this entire, but he's right every part of the park. As I got one comment this week work. I said what are you just put hate mail at the very first thing you in your show, good. I think you'd want to listen to that end and stop. Last year you leave said we have a special,
