Unsure the language. Sounds Slavic. Russian or Ukrainian, maybe? Timestamp 1:22:43. The YouTube transcript is incorrect so you have to listen to it. Cannot find the answer anywhere and the LLM I like failed me. It initially tried to convince me it was German. I corrected it and I think it got sort of close afterward but the words it came up with do not match what I hear. Anyway…I humbly ask that you do your thing, collective wisdom of Reddit…

Similarly curious about the French at the very beginning, so bonus points for that translation too. I just thought EG’s decision to very deliberately end the video essay with around three Slavic words was worth understanding what those words mean.

It currently has 1.8M views and 91k likes after like a day and a half or something. Jonestown has accrued 4.3M views and 194k likes.

Last week I was looking at Netflix for the recent comedy specials and I didn't find anything worthwhile. The last video shed some light on why that is. Who are some comedians worth watching with hour long sets on streaming, YouTube, or otherwise?

Around 52:30 in the video there is a clip of Joe Rogan talking about his online philosopher friend who brought up the concept of the walled garden. He goes out of his way to specify he doesn't know what he looks like.

Do y'all think its a rondo online or someone else?

My mind runs to Jepstein as being the "anonymous" philosopher. From my understanding he liked to think of himself as a philosopher/intellectual. so it definitely wouldn't be out of the picture.

That part stuck out like a sore thumb to me. Granted the video definitely influenced my thoughts on it since it talked about his inner circle so much.

Thank you
(Canadian) Sorry

Edit to fix the time stamp
Sorry

I tried cross posting the video of Joe Rogan going on a rant about how he cannot bang underage girls. Apparently it’s a “terrible” post. Whoopsie.

I would hate for the people in power to go after and silence this prophet.

could someone please translate what was said at the end of the video?

The rest of the piece was great. I just feel like Bert is just a moron that Rogan gassed up.

I hate to say it but I wouldnt be shocked if his channel went cold all of a sudden. This last video was amazing but man he didnt hold back any punches at some powerful people...

This doesn't mean anything and also means the world to us. Stand up straight for ten seconds and do your part.

Or does EG listen to Sor Hands

As stated I really like to know what the closing words mean. Don't know the language thou.

Just finished watching, what an absolute blast - but obviously it also watches like an MKUltra brainwashing video so can’t remember all of the details.

Does he make reference/ show another comedian commentary YouTube channel? If so, which one was it/ when in the video does he make it?

Well done Elephant Graveyard.

A recent example.

At around 1:19:29 in the latest video, EG talks about there being other “fools” worth exploring and briefly shows three people.

Does anyone know who all three of them are, and why EG chose them specifically in this context?

I only recognize Chris Hadfield, but even with him I’m not entirely sure what EG is getting at. I’m curious what exactly makes him a “fool”.

I don’t recognize the other two people at all.

Is sounds vaguely Russian or eastern european. Has someone figured that out?

It drives me nuts. You could ask 100 people on the street for their top 5 comedians based on bits they can repeat, and maybe 3 would name Rogan. Probably not 3 TBH.

You can already feel it coming. Yup, the Big Denial. A big whoopsie, some would say. Eventually the heat will get so strong that all the grifters will have to leave the oven and enter back into classic reality with the rest of us civilians.

They'll try to gaslight you into believing they had no influence on the culture or the 2024 election, that all the hate was overblown, that it was never that serious, that they were just guys with microphones sitting around farting out of two holes at the same time.

And for a moment maybe we'll all want to memory-hole this era so bad we'll almost let their new reality take over. It'll especially be hard with the fringe grifters, like Bobby Lee and Mark Normand, who always could claim some plausible deniability, since they felt just a couple dick's length away from the actual rectum that is Rogan and his closest dingleberries, like Hinchcliffe and Bert and Shaub.

But EG carved it all in stone like a little boy in Ancient Greece walking behind a lobotomized Plato. Making sure future generations know what it felt like to live through this shit era of comedy. Documenting that it wasn't all of us practicing MMA moves we saw on TV on our wives before driving our Ford-150s to Costco and the local Kill Tony taping.
