what else we had the uh we had the roseanne uh our roseanne episode got taken
down
do a little bit of business with you guys here um our roseanne episode got
taken down
and we got strikes on youtube a strike on youtube and we couldn't post for a
week those were the
rules um and at first i was really shocked you know i believe that i believe
that what roseanne said
was satire right i believe that wholeheartedly i believe that she is a comedian
i know she's a
comedian we're having a satire we're having a conversation she was being satirical
to me very
evident um now youtube has their own policies they have hate speech policies
and that's what
we got uh our strike for was hate speech um and i think i was i was kind of
offended by that
you know i thought i didn't think that that was um i didn't think that it was
fair
and i think the toughest part was there's no communication you don't get to
communicate
with youtube really about it right they kind of this ruling comes from like a
place you can't
or people you can't communicate with or access and then um that's how they do
it right and now i
understand they have their policies and they have to do their best to uphold
their policies
right and i'm thankful to youtube i'm very grateful that it exists right
because i have a place to speak
from um you know i have a platform uh from which to talk and and a place to
host a show like i'm
very grateful for that truly am but yeah i think the tough part was just that
it felt like there was
no communication about it it was just like this is what it is and
and i understand that's like this is what it is and i think i think there was
um there should
be i feel like you should have some conversation about it because they call for
youtube they call
you like partners right you're like we're partners you know because i'm not an
employee of youtube
but i'm a partner that's what they they call it you know that you're a partner
youtube partner
and so yeah i just felt like if i'm a partner then let's at least have a
discussion with me about
what's going on um so you can hear what i'm you can hear what i'm thinking and
what i'm feeling
you know so i think that was the toughest part i just felt like it was kind of
uh i felt like there
was no chance for me to speak or share what i was thinking or feeling and maybe
that's just how it is
you know that's business um you know i also have to take into account that i
want to be able to have
a show i want to be able to connect with people and um and just times are
different
you know people could say well you can still have your voice even if you lose a
channel or your
social media gets taken down you still have your own voice which is true but
times have changed you
know it's like um it's not just a soapbox in your neighborhood anymore in your
tribe you know your
people are communicating with a lot more people at once and on bigger levels um
or different levels
um but when you communicate something out in social media on youtube it's
accessible to more people so
it's not like you're just standing on your soapbox you know in a town hall or
something um
so it's really like youtube has kind of become like paper like they're the
paper
you know all these social media platforms they're the paper now and it's almost
sometimes it feels like
well the paper gets to determine what's written on it whereas it used to feel
more like hey you can
write what you want on this paper and deal with people's and deal with
consequences or interpretations of it
but now sometimes it feels like well if you put something on this paper the
paper
is now determining what you're even allowed to it's like as if a piece of paper
you're writing stuff on
it and the paper was able to edit as you're writing so i don't know if that
makes any sense but
it's just you know it's just an interesting time now what was really crazy was
that when the episode got
taken down i believe that uh it should be able to live somewhere right i
believe that it was a great
episode i was really grateful to um be be able to talk with you know a real
mate matriarch yeah a real
matriarch of comedy you know she is i mean she there's nobody like roseanne
you know and i know she's had a lot of like things that have come at her over
the years a lot of
um you know she always makes controversy she always does um sometimes it seems
like it's too much for
sure uh other times it seems like what you would expect out of a comedian out
of a
an instigator you know it's kind of what you would expect
um because that's what that's what challenges comedians in the first place
like oh i can say this i can't say this how do i you know how do i mill around
this area
of taboo right whatever the taboo is um
but then so then i put the episode on to twitter
because they allow longer form episodes now uh or longer video on there and
then elon musk
the freaking alien liaison you know he he shared it and so that went
i mean that was unbelievable that you know just the fact that he did it you
know um
now and whatever you think about elon you know or whatever you you know that's
not it that that
isn't that's not what i'm thinking about i'm just thinking how fat here was
like a man who's
like an influential man and he's sharing you know me and roseanne and i having
a conversation so
it was just pretty fascinating uh the whole experience is kind of fascinating
you know i think
i was bummed out because i feel like i've done a lot of like neat work on
youtube and i try and show up
every week for the channel and um yeah so i think that's what that's what it
was like if we're partners
have a discussion at least someone speak to me um but that's uh that's their it's
their it's their
platform and those are that's how that's their rules and you know a lot of
times we have to play within
um the rules you know if i walk onto a basketball court i i know the rules you
know and that's the rules so
hope you enjoyed that video and you can watch another and you can watch this
