Welcome to a special debate edition of the Whatever podcast coming to live from Santa Barbara, California.

I'm your host and moderator, Brian Atlas. A few quick announcements before the show begins.

This podcast is a viewer-supported, heavy YouTube demonetization.

So please consider donating through stream labs instead of soup chatting as YouTube takes a brutal 30% cut.

So if you super chat 100, YouTube takes 30.

If you donate 100, Streamlabs only takes three.

Streamlabs.com slash whatever link Link for that is in the description.

If you want to interact nearly instantly with us and weigh in on the conversation,

consider sending a TTS text-to-speech message.

Austin, you actually can hide this.

It's not accurate.

$100 and up triggers TTS.

TTS is via Stream Labs only for the sake of a smooth stream and debate if it is too disruptive.

We may have to either delay, hold, or boost the TTS trigger.

Please see the description for all triggers and full details.

We're also live on Twitch, twitch.tv slash whatever, drop us a follow and a prime sub if you guys have one.

Without further ado, I'm joined today by Andrew Wilson,

host of the Crucible. He's a political commentator, blood sports debater. His debate opponent

is Luke. He graduated from University of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. He got his BA in communication, and he also has some criticisms of the show.

So, Luke, we're going to just have you start.

Let us know if you need us to pull up.

And I think we will actually pull up because you sent us a DM with some criticism.
