My issue is why is the hot dog so brown?
Oh, you know.

I'm also wondering. How bad is it? Are we just completely fucked?
I’m thinking the sticker sales flagged something in their systems leading someone to look into MATI. Lots of people had issues paying with their credit/debit cards while ordering.

Hopefully it only impacts sales and not streams. I feel like a paycheck from Kick/YT would be out of their control. Fingers crossed.

:!:Fun fact: Did you know the word ’fis’ is the Swedish word for fart? They’ve renamed their company to FARTGlobal :story:
 
@Null, I am not requesting you get too deep into your personal life, but I think your viewers would enjoy hearing about good things and good changes you're seeing lately.

Tell us about your girlfriend(s), tell us how your fitness journey is going, how's your firearms training been working out? Stuff like that.
Josh hasn't mentioned his weight loss in a while. The silence is deafening.
It's been FOURTEEN YEARS since a German citizen was arrested in New Zealand on behalf of Americans. It's fucking crazy.
Thanks!
Those don’t look horrible. Probably the best thing that’s been on that menu in a minute.
Those hot dogs are probably 70% real meat at most, the bun looks like the standard American pseudo-bread you can buy packaged at a grocery store, and ketchup usually has 30-40g sugar per 100g. I would only eat those if I had no other options.

Being the most appetizing looking garbage on the menu is a very low bar, no doubt about it.
 
So Sony is pissing on their fanbase by stopping production of physical discs come january 2028.



Meanwhile Microsoft is testing a thing called: Disk to Digital, where specific xbox one and x/s discs will be able to use on the "next gen xbox" because Microsoft doesn't want to put a disc drive in the console. And if you sell your discs you lose your games (because when you sign the disc to digital contract, you lose the rights to your games)
 
Bi-monthly reminder that it has been 2 months since you last updated the RSS feed. I will see you again in 2 months after you do a mass update in the next week and promptly forgot about the podcast only listeners again for 2 months. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Jersh don't have the time to edit episodes for rss. I might sometimes listen to mati on spotify but I'm not fuckin clamoring for it on a bi-monthly basis. Thats why I record on videocassette.
 
Some news from the great state of WV, secondary home to Lolcow LLC: apparently to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the usa, the state spent $2 million dollars of taxpayer money on a carnival with the largest pop-up ferris wheel in the world.

This has upset many west virginians because that $2 million could have gone into other more important things, like fixing potholes, fixing the drinking water, or anything else.

 
Speaking of stickers, has anyone outside the US received theirs yet?
Can confirm they have reached Germany.

Edit: here they are in all their glory next to an AC so they can feel the embrace of what a modern culture should feel like (thanks for the input on that US). I also took the time to get a picture from my SS gift from 2 years ago so my SS might know his/her gift is still very much so appreciated. I love all of you weirdos and I don't know what I would do without you bunch:feels:

I have no clue what kind of nightmare system Josh is going through to upload them to the site or to apply his noise filter, but here are my archives of the missing episodes so far converted to audio and silence truncated. Most of which was automated through ffmpeg using silenceremove. Took me about 30m for all of them, most of which was doing something else while the computer worked. Took much longer to get these on KF, though it's remarkable how reliable file upload has gotten.
I highly dislike the use of noise filters because they usually just subtract from the audio for not much benefit since the stream audio is very clean already. As we can see with ccases like PPP's triangle and gong getting muted, or the noise gate being misconfigured for PPP in the last kiwi casino. Looking through the Ben Shapiro episode I noticed the same cutout effect happening to PPP that happened in the Hazbin Hotel one, but much less noticeable and only at the end of his sentences.

Still a week behind, so my apologies if this guy already came up.

Channel 404 News with Don Flurgundy has a great new show on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays and rounds out a solid week of entertainment. He also brings his own research and content to the table. AND. For the Casino detractors, he doesn't pause the video every half a second.

No idea if this is interesting to you or the viewers or not, but there is some religious drama in worldwide Catholicism.

A right-leaning traditionalist Catholic organization (The Society of St. Pius X) consecrated bishops without sanction from the Vatican, and they have all been excommunicated as 'schismatics'.

BTW: Excommunication is not necessarily permanent. Those punished in this way are forbidden from receiving holy sacraments, but if they repent of their sin then they can be welcomed back into the Church proper.




Vatican declares Society of St. Pius X in schism, excommunicates bishops and invalidates sacraments




The Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) is a traditionalist Catholic group that prefers the old-style Latin Mass and pre-1960s Church practices. It was founded in 1970 by French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who was unhappy with the changes from the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II) in the 1960s, which modernized parts of Catholic worship, teachings, and relations with the world.


The 1988 Drama (The Original Consecrations)​


As Lefebvre got older, he worried that his society wouldn't have enough bishops to ordain new priests and continue its work after he died. In the Catholic Church, bishops normally need the Pope's official permission (a "papal mandate") to consecrate new bishops. This keeps everyone under the Pope's authority as the head of the Church.


  • In 1988, Lefebvre went ahead anyway and consecrated four priests as bishops without the Pope's approval at the SSPX seminary in Écône, Switzerland. (The four were Bernard Fellay, Bernard Tissier de Mallerais, Richard Williamson, and Alfonso de Galarreta.)
  • Pope John Paul II and the Vatican saw this as a serious act of disobedience and a schismatic act (breaking Church unity). They declared that Lefebvre and the four new bishops had automatically excommunicated themselves (a "latae sententiae" penalty under Church law). Excommunication means being cut off from the sacraments and full participation in the Church.

Lefebvre argued it was necessary to preserve traditional Catholicism, which he believed was in crisis. The Vatican said it was rejecting the Pope's authority. This created a split: SSPX continued operating independently, while mainstream Catholics viewed them as irregular or in schism.


Later Developments​


  • 2009: Pope Benedict XVI lifted the excommunications of the four surviving bishops as a gesture of goodwill to encourage reconciliation. However, the SSPX as a whole remained in a "canonically irregular" position — their priests could sometimes celebrate valid Masses, but they lacked full official status, and deeper doctrinal disagreements (especially about Vatican II) persisted.
  • Over the years, there were talks, limited concessions (e.g., under Pope Francis, SSPX priests could validly hear confessions in some cases), but no full reunion.

The 2026 Repeat​


In a striking echo of 1988, on July 1, 2026, the SSPX consecrated four new bishops (Marc Hanappier, Michel Poinsinet de Sivry, Michael Goldade, and Pascal Schreiber) without Pope Leo XIV's approval, again in Écône. The two main consecrators included bishops from the original group.


Pope Leo XIV had publicly urged them to stop, warning it would be schismatic. The Vatican responded by declaring automatic excommunication for the bishops involved (and warning lay supporters). This has renewed tensions, with the Vatican viewing it as defiance of papal authority.


Simple Layperson Takeaway​


Think of it like a family business: The Pope is the head of the Catholic "family firm." Lefebvre and the SSPX felt the company was changing too much and losing its soul, so they started their own branch to keep the "classic" ways alive. Consecrating bishops without headquarters' approval is like appointing your own executives without the CEO's okay — it keeps your branch running but creates a formal break. The SSPX sees it as heroic resistance to save Tradition; the Vatican sees it as stubborn rebellion that fractures Church unity.

The core "drama" is a clash between authority/obedience to the Pope versus fidelity to what they see as unchanging Tradition. It's been a painful, decades-long wound in the Church, with passionate people on both sides. The 2026 events show it's still unresolved. Most ordinary Catholics aren't deeply involved, but it highlights ongoing debates about how much the Church should adapt versus preserve.
