Hi friends, I am incredibly ill this week as you can hear by the sound of my nasal tones.

0:07.0

I'm like a walking advert for Vicks Vapourub. However, this week I am sitting down with Carl Benjamin,

0:14.0

also known as Sagan of a Cad. He is a very well known YouTuber with nearly 900,000 subs

0:20.0

and a fantastic political commentator. Genuinely loved sitting down with him today.

0:28.0

He talked about the Gillette advert, the most recent Gillette advert and its implications.

0:34.0

We spoke about Brexit and just what the fuck is going on.

0:38.0

We talked about his de-platforming from Patreon and Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson's subsequent exit.

0:44.0

It is one of my favourite episodes to date. Thank you very much for coming on Carl.

0:49.0

I will be doing more episodes with him in the future.

0:52.0

If you enjoy it, please make sure you share it with a friend and go and check out Sagan of a Cad,

1:45.0

Yeah, it's kind of in and out pretty fast, right? Yeah, it's been strange.

1:51.0

For the listeners who don't know what occurred over the last few months, could you give us the rundown, the zeitgeist?

1:58.0

Yeah, basically Patreon found me insulting a bunch of Nazis on a live stream on quite an obscure channel.

2:08.0

And they took Umbridge to the way that I was insulting them and they decided to delete my Patreon account without warning,

2:15.0

which is strange because I mean the terms of service obviously don't say that they track down things that you do elsewhere on the internet and use that to judge you,

2:24.0

so apparently they do. So be warned if you have a Patreon account.

2:28.0

So Patreon was your way of assisting your channel Sagan of a Cad on YouTube crowdfunding, it allows fans to get like exclusive content and early access to certain things and stuff like that.

2:42.0

And by being shut down from that, I'm going to guess that that was a primary source of income that you were driving your from your channel, right?
