I said it before but the entire Soph saga was creepy as shit for many reasons. Ralph's insistence that anything he did was justifiable because she had 800k followers, the reaction from some of the braindead audience calling a 12 year old child the "perfect woman" or something equivalent to that, it just felt like child grooming in front of an audience. Creepy as shit.
The "Soph stream" was not after an interview, it was after Ronnie's death when Ralph started popping benzos like candy, after the original pillstream and if I am not mistaken it was the same 10-12 hour stream/recording where his mother asks him to drive her to dialysis the morning after and he verbally abuses her because he is too fucking hungover to do anything.
As a minor aside he also inadvertently shared some twitter DMs with Joe Bernstein where he is feeding Bernstein some info, in case anyone has doubts that Ralph wouldn't sell out anyone for just a little bit of clout.
If he did or did not wank it to Soph doesn't really matter. The reality is that what IS visible in that stream is creepy as fuck, there is no reason a 35 year old man should be pulling up pics of a 12 year old girl, or pausing her videos at specific points like Ralph did. Especially when said 35 year old man has a history of grooming teenagers for sex (starting with Nora and ending with Faith).
Ask yourself, is there ANY good reason for Ralph (who is so high that he doesn't know he is streaming his actions to the world) to pull up those pictures of a kid? What, was that "researching a guest" like he tried to claim on Twitter?
What kind of research is that??
Also, passing out right after "looking" at those pictures/stills seems awfully convenient, almost as if he had done something that tired him out.
Anyway, whether you believe it or not, there is no denying that his behavior towards that child was creepy as shit. Whatever lens you try to use to view the entire situation, it's fucked up, no excuses. It is no wonder that Soph completely cut off contact with Ralph after that trainwreck.
Also, there was discussion a couple of pages back about the difference between Ralph now vs the Metokur/YT era.
Ralph was no different, he had the same paper-thin skin as he does now, he was the same alcoholic, and he was the same hypocrite. The difference is that people kissed his ass because Metokur was on his show almost daily, which in turn brought more viewers, which brought bigger guests, etc. etc.
The moment /cow/ started making fun of him is the moment he started devolving into his pre-GG self, or better said, that's when the paper thin mask slipped and everyone realized Ralph hadn't learned anything from his time in jail.
The show wasn't good back then because of anything Ralph did (and at this point, how good the show was is also debatable), the show was better because there was a lot of drama content that had no other place to go other than the KS (again mostly because of metokur). Maybe some of you remember how often Ralph claimed that things kept "falling on [their] lap", because whatever your opinion of him, Metokur generated a lot of content through his appearances.
There is a reason that chat immediately used to whine to "bring Jim on", while Ralph tried to sludge through the day's news and read articles very much the same way he does now, only there was no entertaining segment at the end of it all to make people forget how much the show sucked.
Also, Gator contributed much less to the show aside from his retarded soundboard and well Zidan at least tried.
I wouldn't go back and listen to a 2018 KS because there is really no point, there might be an entertaining segment here or there but listening to 2 hours of Ralph reading the news to maybe get 45 mins that are listenable is not really worth it.
Besides like most people have said, all the moments that were worth anything have been clipped and uploaded many times before.
