Today, we're talking about the growing black mirror-esque problem of streamers being tortured for

profit. Part of China's imploding while in other parts lashing out. We've got a growing health

crisis that no one's talking about. According to science, everything's just too dang loud.

We're going to talk about all that and so much more on today's brand new, extra large Philip

DeFranco's show. You daily dive into the news, so buckle up, hit that like button to let me know you like these big shows,

and let's just jump into it.

Starting with, there are only three places in this world where, according to the House rules,

you can actually torture people for fun and or money.

A Saudi embassy, but you need MBS's approval, the annual Ness tickling convention, and a Twitch

Sub-Athon.

And today, we're talking about the sub-athons, because latest sub-a-thon torture is the three days in a dark closet challenge, which sounds pretty self-explanatory, but then gets even more off the rails.

Because recently, there was a streamer by the name of Irby who told his ma that if he could

And so yesterday, he squeezed himself into a narrow closet with barely enough room for him to stretch out.

But I guess because putting yourself in pitch black solitary confinement is not entertaining enough,

you could also essentially torture this man for just a quarter.

And for just 25 cents, his chat could flashbang him with a blinding white light and ear-piercing sound.

And on top of that, they could pay to torture him with text to speech, blast him with a leaf blower, peltz him with eggs or ping pong balls.

And during this, he never really got a rest or a break. It was just endless torture. With it all culminating to the around 25 hour mark where you just couldn't take it anymore and he gave up with him crying in front of his

stream. And so understandably, you have a lot of people saying, what the fuck? I'm also one of them.

Because in no world should any of this be normalized. Because also, like, this isn't new. I've seen
