Top Comments of this video!! :3
Michael is always so informed, intelligent, and also just respectful. Apologizing for cutting people off, remembering after like 5 minutes and asking them what they were saying...I'm not really an otv fan I just watch every now and then but I like everything I hear/see from him. He has a great character.

Also to everyone being like "oh he's from Canada that's why he didn't understand how brutal we were to natives" I implore you to look into Canadian settlement history, we were significantly worse with the wars, our treatment, the way we took our landownership, how we integrated them after colonization and how long our wars went on time wise in comparison to how long America warred. It's insane, more native women dissappear and are murdered in Canada than black women in the US per capita to this day. We just hide it better, it's disgusting.

The connection between media and the war is both fascinating and terrifying; hearing "I saw a video/TikTok/meme" in context to people dying is so surreal. The fact that there's literally YouTube livestreams of stuff going on in the war? Crazy as hell
I know this isn't the focus of the podcast lmao, but hearts out to those affected

Thank you for bringing up this topic about what is happening in the world rn. War is not something that media personalities are talking about now. Im your Russian subscriber and Im glad that you raised the topic about this. I was glad to hear your opinion
upd:
Toast asked what the Russian citizens thinks about what is happening now.
Uhhh our government..... Recently, a law was passed that severely restricts our freedom. You can just get huge fines or a real prison term (recently a man was fined for making a comment on the Internet that does not support our troops, the fine is 40 thousand rubles. This is the whole salary of an average person. Some people, for example, get even less) People are beaten at peaceful rallies (girl who was detained recorded how she was beaten and mocked at the police station. Honestly, I couldnt even find the strength to listen to the full recording because itâs terrible)
Almost the entire younger generation under the age of 25~ does not support the "military operation" that is happening now, but unfortunately there is also an adult generation that has grown up on propaganda (which is happening even now and I have seen many adults who simply DO NOT BELIEVE that people are dying in Ukraine). And those who try to tell the truth about what is happening are forcibly silenced.
Personally, I feel completely depressed and I forgot how to live during these two weeks. People very dear to me live in Ukraine. I worry about each of them and their families. On February 24, we all woke up in a completely different world. Just imagine what its like to wake up from a shell explosion in your city or wake up and the first thing you see on the Internet its messenge from your friend "I heard three very loud explosions, Im scared"
I want to believe that this whole nightmare will stop. I still can't accept that this is the reality I live in
upd 2:
Please dont write words of encouragement for me. If you have the time and energy, please support the Ukrainians (sorry, I will not write here how to support them, but you can go to twt and find information about it)
I didnt write a comment to get support, I dont deserve it, because I was not affected in any way by what is happening
It does not matter what nationality you are and where you live: be strong and healthy.

Michael has a great balance of being absolutely hilarious, with really silly humour and also being very knowledgeable about the war, cyber attacks, etc
For a European perspective on the war, the way the media portrays it here in Scotland, is that the Russian government are placing extreme censors on Russian people, taking their phones to check messages, beating up peaceful protesters. The worst part I read so far about the attacks was the agreement between Russia and Ukraine to safely move civilians through a channel out of Ukraine cities, but then Russia reneged that and bombed the area! That story Brodin told of the media reporters being attacked is also shocking.

I like that Brodin is always there for the podcast. I get that he is sort of the producer role, but like can we just have him at the desk? like just with his laptop for the googles every episode xD
great episode! #screentimeforbrodin #wewantbrodin
