Live With Liam writeup:
Like most episodes, this starts with filler content as Liam employs his classic "try to organize his program schedule as the show actually plays in realtime" approach to youtubing, inviting "Well Read User", a collector of mod wrenches on CG channels and Mike S. Miller diehard to advocate against Warcampaign's ethos and actions, and to answer for his refunding of Cash Grab after Cecil dragged him into a 5v1 dogpile on his stream for insulting WC as a mod on EVS' channel (lol). The insights weren't particularly good, but he wisely took off as "Mr. Biggons" and TUG showed up for another 5v1 dogpile. Biggons's extremely tedious counterargument was that since Well Read User used "vague words" like "harassment" and "policing Comicsgate" that his position was automatically disqualified. TUG, desperate for exposure anywhere he can get on, quickly admitted that he hadn't even heard what Well Read User said, but threw out a token support for Warcampaign's "freedom of speech as customers" and again urged the audience to stop infighting and put their differences aside to own the SJWs. In the chat, Frog grew bored of the two slow, dissembling hicks taking up space and amused himself by shitting on Micah Curtis while the crowd got increasingly restless.
Eventually Frog starts demanding to be let on the show and Liam, temporarily forgetting himself, says Frog can take wait til tomorrow for a full interview before smartening up and putting him on right away. Frog apologizes to Umbrella for forgetting to put him on his show, which apparently had TUG let out a big teary-eyed tantrum to Frog over DMs; Frog attributes the lapse to the horrible mind-numbing aftereffect of having to actually draw comics. TUG seems mollified by this. Frog states that he doesn't have the time or energy between family, youtube and crowdfunding/comics to even hope of keeping track about who nobodies like Sashi even are, let alone what they're up to. Not even the time to keep reading the dossiers and relationship webs Sketch Therapy sends him daily. In short: he does not give a fuck and he would appreciate it if everyone didn't try to drag him into their interpersonal beefs.
This settled, Liam queried Frog about his statements regarding "Dynamite is Comicsgate", hoping to get the chance to really grill Frog on what this means. Frog declined a full interview, instead electing to give a statement then and there: "I misspoke, Dynamite and CG are clearly separate. But working with Dynamite is very convenient for me; the man in charge has been my friend for decades, lives nearby and agrees with the conclusions on the comic book industry that Comicsgate has drawn. The principles and ideas that Comicsgate is ordered around are not compromised by my delegating the arduous logistics of crowdfunding campaign fulfillment to professionals instead of doing everything myself, insisting on that when it's not necessary is a meaningless self-restriction." In essence, Frog is saying that Comicsgate's business model was a means to an end in the face of blacklisting and not the purpose of Comicsgate in of itself. If people think they can get a better deal working with Dynamite while being in CG; there's no good reason why they shouldn't.
Liam, in a very Liam fashion, prodded back by pointing out that some of the most egregious SJWs in the comic book industry work for Dynamite and speculated that their electing to remain was potentially part of a vast conspiracy to inveigle themselves into a position of power over Comicsgate projects. Frog replied that the reason that they remained with a company that is collaborating with Comicsgate as an open secret is because they have no other option, and that this situation tremendously gratifies Frog.
The "Dynamite = CG" question clarified, Liam booted Frog off to get to the main event to add a fellow Australian, unemployed and mindbogging angry drunk at 2AM on a Tuesday, who wanted to scream at Liam about how he both loved him and wanted to beat the shit out of him for being a fucking cunt. But also beat the shit out of him as a friend. Liam and the guest, "Ryzie Lee", discussed Centrelink and comic books for a while for a while before Ro Kabir, sensing opportunity, demanded his way onto the stream. Ryzie, a man of mixed loyalties, evidently was the fellown who leaked a group chat conversation with "Panboy Soychild Donglover" to someone in "Anti-CG" which has since been filed in Panboy's upcoming cyberstalking trial versus Crypto Comics. Ro starts constructing all sorts of traps to get the guest start admitting that the conversation was illegally recorded and therefore inadmissable in trial, which Ryzie blindly stumbles into each and every one for the pleasure of the viewing audience. He's stoked that Ro is hanging out with him and being buds again. Ro even gets Ryzie to play the conversation in question by holding the mic to his speaker some incoherent screaming about how Ryzie was going to kick the shit out of Panboy for being a cunt and make him "lick his fackin armpit". Satisfied, Ro takes his leave as Ryzie goes on to tour his basement suite bedroom full of anime figurines and waifu pillow before playing out the end of the stream by scrambling around looking for his lighter.
