Hello there, friend. Welcome back to the YouTube News Podcast. Oh, you're looking fabulous today. And I am so excited to be here on this. I'm very proud to say it, the 100th episode of the YouTube and News podcast. I can't believe we made it this far. It really doesn't seem like it is. But search your feelings. You know it to be true. It is the 100th episode of the podcast. So we're here to celebrate good times. Come on. and I am slightly worried that my singing was so good there that will get

co- It is the 100th episode of the podcast. So we're here to celebrate good times. Come on. And I am slightly worried that my singing was so good there that we'll get copyright strikes. But we'll deal with that when it comes along. Now, on with the show. The YouTube Rewind has arrived and naturally no one likes it. We'll be going through who made the list. Who didn't make the list? And why everyone is so mad. Plus, Trisha Paitas accidentally flashed her fans on TikTok and people are shook, sis.

And of course, we have questions from the audience, true YouTuber facts and another installment

of the story of the rat.

Cancel Christmas, tell Santa to take a hike because Christmas has come early and Papa Benedict

has already delivered.

Papa Benedict, gross.

I'm Benedict Townsend and this is the YouTube News podcast.

And wouldn't you look at that?

It's the YouTube News podcast.

Oh, welcome back, everybody.

Another installment of the show, the 100th, you could say, because it is 100 episodes.

Oh, so many highlights.

We had the time I interviewed KSI, the time I spoke to Garrett Watts, the time I fought a bear in the studio and was immediately killed and replaced with a brand new host. Oh, amazing, but then I came back from the dead and took back my seat. What an amazing three-episode arc that was, we'll never it but enough about the past let's look to the

future because it's only downhill from here and let's crack on with the news stories because after all

it's not called youtube having a chat it's called youtube news and this show is almost slightly

about news sometimes so let's start off by talking about the youtube Rewind. A wise man once said that there's

only three constants in this universe. I think it was Benjamin Franklin actually. Death, taxes,

and the YouTube Rewind coming out every year and no one liking it. And would you look at that?

It's happened again. We've all been taxed. We've all died and YouTube Rewind has arrived yet again.

Now you remember last year's YouTube Rewind, the 2018 YouTube Rewind became the most disliked YouTube video of all time, and so YouTube was in a bit of a difficult position this year because they couldn't just abandon the rewind, that's giving up. But they also couldn't do the usual thing they do, which is to get a bunch of random creators to do Fortnite dances to popular songs,

because everyone's decided they hate that now.
