I guess I meant more like everyone seems annoyed with each other already and that doesn't seem like a good sign.Can you give an example of these cracks?

Ralph's gonna be fine for a while. I will give the guy shit in perpetuity, but he's on a roll lately. I haven't listened to it in months, but him and Rand bickering, or Rand getting demoted, isn't going to kill the show or really fuck with it too much.
No, I think we are seeing the end of the randsaga. Was the picture where he was outed saved?

Ralph seems to be a lot more consistent recently, he's gone back to being able to plan guests up to weeks in advance, he's got a group of decent callers that hang out in discord that he can bring in for content. Bibble is a really good Cohost that understands the medium. The show is still showing the effects from Zidan leaving but it's getting stronger, and it's got a loyal enough audience that if its kicked off Dlive, they'll probably go with it to another platform.Ralph's gonna be fine for a while.

Are you Rand? no but seriously are you? You are the only guy ive seen so far that dosent think Rand is one of the biggest morons in the world.Rand is a smart, well informed guy
I think Ralph realises that Rand brings value to the show, that's why he won't permanently kick him.
Rand is a smart, well informed guy, that's also pretty articulate and who has enough of a presence that he's able to cut through on the show.
All he has ever done is parrot the most basic brainlet /pol/ takes in a smug tone, I'm not sure you can call constant interuptions having a presence. He works only as a 30 second call-in not as a co-host; he's a detriment whilst sober but drunk Rand is an outright liability.Rand is a smart, well informed guy, that's also pretty articulate and who has enough of a presence that he's able to cut through on the show.

The extent of Rand's Anti Antisemitism sometimes still surprises me, particularly as I read once that it was never much of an issue in Australia.No.
Rand is a fucking sperg. His "white Iranians" shit was pure cringe. He is very arrogant as well as an idiot for thinking that he's still entertaining to an audience of 1,000 people after 12 hours of hammering the booze - even if you took a genuinely talented comedian or interesting author and forced them to drink all day before giving them a platform, it'd be saturated with boring nonsense to most of the audience. And the way he puts the guests on the spot is bad for the show. Case in point: when Adam Green was on, Rand kept testing his knowledge of the Jews. Adam Green - whose entire editorial line is "it's the Jews" and spends all day every day researching and making videos to back up his thesis - is apparently going to be tested on the matter by a sperg who spends his days off doing 12 hour streams playing Doom and ranting about how bad Jews and blacks are to 10 or so people who I can only imagine to be bottom of the barrel NEET alcoholics and in the process proving he is not spending his downtime in worthwhile activity like reading old books or consulting public records to produce useful quick rundowns for the rest of us. Whether or not it actually is the Jews, all of Rand's takes are just shit that the rest of us can pick up from an hour of /pol/ on a Sunday afternoon once a week.
So when Rand slurs "what about what happened in the early 2000s?" with barely any context, most people don't waste effort trying to figure out what a drunken ranting idiot means but Green somehow divined that Rand was referring to a wargame simulating an invasion of Iran in which the US side performed disastrously (at least, disastrously from the point of view of someone inside the US power structure trying to sell an invasion of Iran to the US public). But even though Green had understood his bullshit the first time and Rand seemed surprised by it, Rand didn't back up and give the guest - who has a far greater reach on the "it's the Jews" thesis than Rand does - some more space. Soon after, Rand refers vaguely to "a certain Russian proverb" and everyone is already annoyed with him so nobody says "please Rand give us the benefit of your wisdom", even after he repeatedly refers to it, so eventually he just tells us, unrequested, that the proverb is "even though the government says it, that doesn't mean it's untrue". Yes, good proverb Rand. Nice insight in to the Russian character and the type of societies that live under dictatorship. Bonus points for knowing that Pravda means "truth" in Russian like the rest of us who are over 20 did. And never mind that bringing up obscure bits of international trivia and acting like it's a big deal and therefore your opinion on other shit must be correct is exactly the trick that left-wing Guardian journalists repeatedly use on their audience.
Later, Rand affects surprise that Green is aware of some Jewish group that Kushner is apparently connected to (what a surprise - a guy who makes "It's the Jews" videos every working day knows that the Jewish son in law of the US President is in with some Jewish groups) and later on attempts to test Green again on his knowledge of the Jews, asking him if he knows a Jewish-sounding name without much context which turns out to be a private Jewish police force in a New York Jewish neighbourhood that also has its own private Jewish-only ambulance service. If Rand really wants to be an acknowledged authority on the Jews to compete with other Jew-namers, then he needs to start producing his own content on the issue because right now he hasn't earned the right to condescend to a caller like that, let alone a guest. As far as I can see, he can't even manage to be consistently non-blackout drunk on streams and just sounds like a smug unpaid undergraduate intern who has read a few Huffington Post/Daily Stormer articles and is now attempting to school the professionals on how it all really works.
I understand that if you have the editorial line of Adam Green, then there isn't exactly a waiting list of podcasts lining up to give you a platform and you have to put up with some technical difficulties and can't rely on 100% professional interaction all the time, but repeatedly being interrupted by a shit-faced moron who affects to know more about your subject matter than you do is surely unacceptable. And I understand that there is room on the Killstream for at least one drunken exceptional individual and also that the /pol/ sensibility of the audience must be maintained, but surely between Ralph and Green those bases were wholly covered and there was no need for Rand?
On a lighter note, when the "Rand Rant" section commences and everyone just starts shitting all over Rand, that was the funniest thing I'd heard on a Killstream for ages. Bibble's interruption was excellent, as were the well timed soundboard interruptions.
Rand, if you read this, you need to take a break from either the booze or streaming. Ideally both. Maybe work privately on some videos exposing the Jews or Bill Gates or whatever it is because Itunless you organise your thoughts, you're no better than a random /pol/ sperg quoting memes. And if you refuse to do this, then at least debate PPP for us. Maybe getting rekt by an obese Leaf NEET with expert level Bible knowledge will teach you an important lesson or two.
I would legit rather listen to 4 hours of total silence than a minute of RandRand does at the very least help remove Dead Air as a problem
You mean like, after you sober up and play it back again?The extent of Rand's Anti Antisemitism sometimes still surprises me
every minute of rand on that show brings it one minute closer to being flushed from the internet forever. i say bring rand as often as possible until he blows ralph so far out of the water that ralph will need intergalactic satellite feeds to even read twitter.I would legit rather listen to 4 hours of total silence than a minute of Rand
Its pretty meh to be honest. Just them smugly commenting over a Contrapoints video, while Aydin goes off on tangents about social research and fantasy novels. Imagine Efap, but instead of Rags and Mauler criticizing pop-culture critique video, its Gator and Flamenco criticizing a Contrapoints video.Ralph mentioned Flamenco's Aydin Paladin stream from this past weekend more than once tonight, and I had to dig deep to find it because nobody has posted it yet...
