Rooster Teeth employee here: We did not find out through social media. We had an all hands meeting along with an email. The company also did not shut down yesterday. Most all full time employees have 60 days as a wind down period. As sad as I am to lose this dream job, it has been a way better transition to unemployment than most other things I've seen in this industry. Much love to all my Rooster Teeth fam.
I think i first thought the end wasn't far off when Funhaus moved to the latest office and they were obviously, coasting and who can blame them. I used to love RT and i still love Funhaus. I'm really gonna miss em. Anyways good luck for your future.
Hey man. Solid comment. I’m sad to see RT ending. I was introduced to the team in middle school. The memories I have following the team will always stick with me. I hope you the best, and I am glad I can still watch moments from the company on YT. Right?… the videos aren’t being taken down I hope..
The shark finning story broke my heart. I am stunned again by the cruelty humans are capable of for the sake of money. And driving a species that predates us into extinction should truly give us a long hard pause. But I know nothing is going to happen. I have no words.
Same here. It just depressed me about how humans continue to destroy their own home for profit and comfort. Unfortunately, it is most likely too late for our children to be able to enjoy the same world we were so privileged to grow up in.
The truth has always been that humans eat millions of sharks every year, sharks only rarely eat humans. And they never come on land to hunt us. Finning is disgusting.
I'm from Palau. We had the world's first Shark Sanctuary. It's simple, you want to protect sharks, you need to go all out. No take policy period. Other solutions don't work.
Fishing is the leading cause of shark decline. They are caught up in the nets along with the sea turtles and everything else. If you want to save ocean life, stop eating fish.
Absolutely. There are habits that we are reforming that are backwards but there’s people saying “it’s always been normal.” Now watch how we have gladiator style things coming next. Thats where all this celebrity fighting is going. We just have to break the “regular person” barrier. Probable prisoners. Maybe you’ll be able to bet on your ticket having his unpaid taxes forgiven in the 2075 Post Thanksgiving Pre Christmas Death Match. I mean, you’ll have to squirrel away some rations from your universal basic income card BUT it’ll be fun.
I wish our (the US) government would put at least half of the effort they put into banning TikTok to limiting what data can be tracked (through social media and smart devices) and sold/used. It is a major issue and TikTok is part of that issue but all the major platforms do it. I also don’t like that the US can effectively target any company that they don’t have some control over. Honestly, starting to ban applications from “foreign adversaries” can quickly turn into banning things from places they don’t agree with ideologically. It honestly feels very much like the CCP and their control over social media.
As an european I am honestly hyped about this move by america, as if it goes through then that will put pressure and motive on all other countries to do the same for facebook etc. It will clearly showcase to other nations that there are *"real"* "security concerns" about letting your citizens use those apps, even if your laws already ban the privacy violating stuff everyone knows they do anyway.
I don't think most people understand how much time and resources are dedicated to espionage by the ccp, as well as how vulnerable we have already been to Russian misinformation campaigns. The tiktok ban is coming from a national security perspective, which is one of the only things our government actually takes seriously anymore.
Is this not the literal first step in that direction? Also we aren’t banning it because it’s a foreign entity we have tons of those Sony, Toyota, Toshiba, we are banning because they have to share all data with CCP which was your first complaint!
Ah yes, when it's been proven multiple times that China and Russia interfere and try to brainwash the American youth, it's a bad idea to limit that control.
Hi! Former Hill intern here- the people answering congressional phones are actually UNPAID interns - 18-22 year olds who still have hope that we can help change this country. We take abuse and crap from the immediate world and don’t see a cent. And it doesn’t guarantee a full paying job or anything. You didn’t emphasize ENOUGH how absolutely cruel it is to abuse the people on the phones on Capitol Hill. Hell, dealing with the public was a massive part of why I totally changed careers and am completely jaded on anyone’s ability to create change on a national scale through the legislative process.
A week in retail will give you the same jaded feeling and I worked in retail for close to 4 years when I was young. I can't think of how much abuse you guys were getting over the phone cause people can't see your face and some just has a vitriol hate for the government so they'd just fuck with government workers for the fun of it.
@@SpaceDojoFilms i haven't been in that job for over a decade...I went as far away from that as humanly possible. i'm a planetary scientist now. my second car (will be) on the Moon (eventually, assuming Astrobotic gets themselves together).
@@katrix110good luck! Hopefully we'll get to the moon again soon. I was a waitress for many years and I feel bad for anybody that works in customer service nowadays cuz it's only gotten worse. I can't imagine the level of hate you guys got thrown at you working as unpaid interns for Capitol Hill. There should never be unpaid jobs that people have to work while still paying bills to live. Sadly it's just yet another way a capitalist society can force people to work for free or very little pay after the greedy lost slavery. It happens in jail too. Ppl there get paid pennies, yes actual pennies per hr, while trying to pay not only for the many things they need in jail that's not covered but also phone calls, envelopes, stamps, child support, and any money owed to the court or the victims. Things need to change. One thing I realized now that I'm getting close to 50 is that greed really is the root of all evil.
This! No matter what your message is for the representative, always be polite to the intern and thank them for their work. They’re participating in our democracy and it’s a really rough gig. Thank you!
From Hong Kong. There was a shark charity here that ran a survey. An overwhelming number said they didn't like shark fin soup. In the same survey an overwhelming number said they would still serve shark fin soup at a wedding or want it to be served.
Person with HK background living in Europe. Tastes must have changed alot over the years; i love real sharp fin soup with red vinegar. It is just an extremely rare treat.
@@2buxaslice i used to see reruns of it in Europe right before adam west batman reruns growing up; also stuff like yogi bear and roger ramjet. From what i recall HK was more orientated to japanese animation at that time like dragonball doraemon astroboy and kamen rider. Also a certain football anime but i forgot english name for it.
@@2buxaslice I think it got shown on one of the cable channels that did western animation (Cartoon Network or whatnot) but not on the two terrestial English language TV channels (Pearl and World).
The shark finning story leaves me feeling the same as I did with the recent octopus farming story. The greed of those in power will forever outweigh empathy and compassion toward the rest of nature. Short-term gains will forever outweigh the state of the Earth as we know it. Future generations will have to deal with the repercussions of how we act today, just as we're dealing with the repercussions of the actions of the last century, and I struggle to have confidence that cycle will ever change.
Read "Anti-Tech Revolution: Why and How"! It talks about this exact phenomena and how due to it we'll most likely destroy the earth while destroying any chance for future life. It gives reasoning for each step down that path and depressingly I agree with each one 😵
@@Heldemon Eh before CEOs it were rich merchants and nobility. Really, it's our nature in trying to impress people, and buying expensive stuff your friends or social group has a hard time to do themselves is an easy way to that.
Thank you so much for the PSA about the people who work congressional office phones. I was an intern on Capitol Hill a couple years ago and I was subjected to so much abuse (which I was in no way prepared for - I got no training on how to handle people yelling at me repeatedly). When you call your congressman, you will most likely get an intern who is trying their best. Ask them to record your message/stance and be kind!
Fun fact, the TikTok bill was a thing for awhile and going nowhere until the ADL dude iirc called, aka this dude who is a zionist and hates how TikTok shows the TRUTH of Israel's monstrous actions. Should really point that aspect out, Phil. Look at those who take AIPAC money too.
Regarding the public response to TikTok, it's such a testament to our priorities that losing TikTok gets more direct action than pretty much every other issue in recent history.
That’s the first thing I thought when hearing that story. It’s hard to be on the side of TikTok users when this is what incentivizes them to be politically active but the decline of our healthcare system, rising living costs, and other pressing issues just don’t seem to do it. I’m sure many users will defend the app by saying how it brings awareness about things that they didn’t know before BUT realistically speaking, the same users are more likely to waste their days away doomscrolling, getting influenced to buy things they don’t need, or trying to partake in useless trends.
I love using TikTok but I was also pretty sadden by that. I can’t vote, but boy do I wish I could. Even if I’m just a penny in the dish I’d like feel like I’m contributing to changing my local political climate. 😵💫
I find the case interesting and important, not because it's TikTok but due to what they use to motivate it. It doesn't feel like a good idea to give a government the right to shut down companies with the claim that it's connected to an enemy of the state. And that without actually giving any proof for the claim.
This is because TikTok is what the new generation is USING to ORGANIZE direct action on important issues. Congress knows this which is why they want it gone. They know that people are popularizing views that go against the establishment on there. They know it's the best platform to use to organize the youth. And because of that they either wan't total control over it or want it gone.
@pjmetzen3483 while I will not argue that influencing the mind is powerful, because it is, disrupting the food supply, I would argue could potentially be more devastating to everyone. Or worse, attacks on multiple fronts. Destroy the food supply, provide misinformation as to who is responsible, swoop in amod chaos
I used to eat shark fin soup during weddings. I stopped, of course. Since they do not taste like anything, the texture of the fin can easily be replicated with mushrooms, specifically wood ear. Hopefully the situation will get better
For Shark Fin soup one solution could be to find ways to make fake shark fins and flooding the market with them. This is what was done to help protect Elephants from poaching.
When did that happen with ivory? As far as I know, the only non-elephant ivory is mammoth ivory recovered from the artic. Which, while much better than driving more elephants to extinction, is still a loss of paleontological value. Like shark fins, ivory is another good example of environmental destruction for the sake of appearances or "luxury"
I mean let's not forget the role the militaries played in relocating and enforcing sanctuaries. What Phill left out is these are rich connected guys also hunting other nearly existent animals like manta rays like edible nfts and do have armed battles. Their bad people who know better and have other choices they will just find a next mark no matter how unethical.
The problem is that we are regulating shark fishing rather than outlawing it. That's how animal conservation works. If you can't regulate an animals hunting, you outlaw it immediately, if only for a temporary time.
For real, with farm animals you'd think shark wouldn't be on the list. Guessing trophy and food? Weird creatures we humans are. Why not just go for fish that are plentiful? Human condition I guess.
@@FezMooseLiveWhy not stop eating animals? Humans caring about sharks but not other animals is also a weird aspect of the human condition. You can't fish without bycatch, so fishing well result in the death of sharks and sea turtles. Just like clearing land for farming land animals results in diversity loss and extinction on land. Eating animals is the problem.
The shark finning story just breaks my heart. Humans will never just set a line and then never cross it. I hate this greed for money, especially when it comes to killing a life of any sort for their own benefit and profit. There should be sustainable methods for this that are strictly enforced. These beautiful animals won't last this way and the damage that it can cause to ecosystems is actually really crucial. Don't even get me started on whaling...Whale Wars on Animal Planet really opened my eyes on that issue.
Sharks are in my top 3 favorite animals. I love them so much, especially the great white. Its so horrible that they are going extinct, and it’s basically all species of sharks going extinct…
I’m pretty sure that’s the point. The Paul bros don’t care if they’re hated, they’re both proof that there no bad publicity and you can only be cancelled if you stop posting (and cancel yourself)
Yao Ming has campaigned for decades against shark fin soup! I remember seeing his ads everywhere and how much he changed typical Chinese ideas. He was great at pioneering the anti-shark fin movement in big megacities and the educated, but I don't know how well he reached to the super rich or super poor. The last time I saw his ads was in Canada in the 2010s... Still legal then and my relatives from Guangzhou was so horrified they left a restaurant when they found out they sell fish fin soup.
16:29 "Going Postal" was the phrase that came to mind during this story, Phil. It was a REAL phenomenon back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Our US Vietnam veterans' military members suffer with no suppot. Right after the Vietnam War, the USPS hired thousands of Vietnam combat veterans, many of whom were dealing with war trauma and undiagnosed PTSD. As a country, we must demand better for all veterans who serve our country and often at the cost of their own lives. ❤❤❤
You're talking about psychological trauma, PTSD, here. These studies were about physical damage to the brain tissues of servicemen exposed to close-range explosives. The Maine shooter never saw active duty, but he DID train people to use grenades for a few years. Those constant close-range explosives essentially vibrated his brain tissues so much they started to break apart. This isn't to say a lot of veterans from Vietnam or Korea didn't also have this kind of brain injury, just that you seemed to be talking about psychological injuries, not physical ones.
@@ruralmetalheadI think the implication coming to light now is that many of those incidents may very well have had more physical causes than we knew at the time.
My major in college was Environmental Science and a minor in Environmental Engineering. One of the projects I had to to was researching the importance of sharks on the environment and turns out, they’re super freaking important! A huge amount of CO2 emissions are absorbed by the ocean, more specifically ocean plant life and plankton. Much like the wolves, in Yellowstone, sharks help keep the fish populations in balance. Without sharks, the fish populations will grow and over consume the plankton that helps absorb emissions. Since corporations lobby so hard and campaign so hard to put the responsibility of reducing emissions to off set their pollution, we need all the help we can get. Trees are important, but wild predators are just as important.
This actually made me think of something, if true then imo it’s really sinister. I wonder if the push for trees to be seen as the symbol as what helps keep our air and planet clean helped contribute to the neglect of the ocean. Because amongst the general public it’s seems they are incredibly ignorant to how vital its survival is to our own. I’m just wondering if there’s a correlation there. I actually might take time out of my day to see what I can find. I just don’t know when because university keeps me tired and busy.
I wish that schools did a better job of teaching how basically all of nature is interconnected. Even waste from animals is food for other animals and plants. _You can't take a link out of a chain and expect the chain to hold together._
@@Ladyyiee2012 Money is more important then eco systems and people. or business doesn't care about the environments feelings even if it causes catastrophes involving wild life and ocean life.
There will never be enough coverage on what is and has been happening to sharks - but thank you, thank you, thank you for leveling it up on your show. Absolutely horrific and easy for people to not care because of the fear that usually pairs with them. We MUST care, despite fear. And also, fuck mosquitos.
Yamini also contributes to a huge problem in the "alpha male dude bro" space in his video: the idea that being gay is something to be ashamed of. I've met some pretty masculine gay guys. Being gay does not make you any less of a man, no matter how you present smh
Love how three stories are about insecurity for the male zeitgeist between an "alpha male" funny guy, the farce of boxing that is as real as the WWE with Paul, and shark extinction fueled by rich guys to pathetic too buy Viagra,...just awesome. Just develop a personality. Seems a lot easier then letting society burn.
It’s wild because when I was in university doing my environmental science and ecology degree, we talked in depth about shark fin soup and its effects the food web through the decline in shark populations. It reminds me of when they hunted wolves out of Yellowstone park, and then the ecosystem went to shit. Top predators are incredibly important to the ecosystem as they help control populations of smaller predators and herbivores who if left unchecked will throw plant populations out of whack. It’s crazy to be seeing the effects that we talked about before become so much more apparent.
in elementary school, i actually drew up an entire petition asking bush (LOL) to sanction china for shark finning. i don't even remember how i heard about shark finning, but i've been an advocate since i was young. thanks for talking about this!
Last time I responded I went in kinda hard on the VA not conecting my exposure to blasts to my service. But you'll be glad to know I found one Clinic appointment I went to all the way back in 2018 and now the VA has to screen me for TBIs. This is partly because the last story made me look harder for a service connection, thanks Phil!
I never really feared sharks. In fact, I'm more scared of tornadoes than of sharks. But the fact they are getting hunted so often makes me sad. I only recently found out that most if not all hammerhead sharks are endangered, some even critically. Why hunt for them if they're not tasty? There needs to be a way of faking shark meat. Lab-grown meat is already a thing, so why not tap into that market?
Same. I grew up spending time on the Gulf a lot and I used to play a game with myself where I’d swim as far as I could from shore (the thought of my kid doing that now makes me feel sick). Twice I accidentally stepped on or swam over a shark (pretty sure they were both sand tiger sharks) and all they did was very quickly swim off away from me. I was just a little kid, but it made me realize that they were incredibly scared of me and not looking to hurt me. I’ve been a bit fascinated by sharks ever since.
It's kind of mind-blowing that so many people still see sharks through the lens of a movie released in 1978. I just wrote a kids book on sharks focusing on the most current research and so much of it is about discovering/confirming that sharks have friends, personalities etc. And yeah, they are absolutely essential to healthy oceans aka a healthy planet. There are some great organizations out there working to protect sharks. But you (and that recent study) flagged something vital - shark finning gets most of the oxygen but there are so many other, bigger threats - including general over-fishing, bycatch, and all the damage we're doing to the oceans. But based on media reports you'd think the only threats are finning and a couple of ingenious orcas who are snacking on 'em in South Africa... Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad the family of the shooter got the additional testing done and got some answers. It doesn't change what happened but it can help other veterans going forward. Hell because of your story my husband, who was a Marine combat engineer and a part of his job was setting off explosives, actually contacted the VA and set up an appointment in the next couple of weeks to get checked for TBI. He even brought up your story to his doctor to explain why he wanted the testing and the doctor scheduled him that day. I hate that it was a horrible tragedy that caused us to start taking our veterans health seriously but I'm glad to see others get the help they need. I will emphasize that just because someone was in the military and has a TBI does NOT mean that they are going to horrible things.
Thank you Phil for covering the massive decline is shark populations around the globe! As a conservation ecologist we talk about this a ton, and big shows like yours highlighting this and other ecological disaster issues makes sure they get seen by so many more people. For anyone curious about trying shark meat, it contains way higher levels of mercury than other fishes sold at the supermarket due to the fact that they are a top predator and all the mercury from the fish they ate accumulates in their body. Eating it enough can noticeably raise blood mercury levels in humans. Leave them in the ocean where they belong!
Portuguese guy here. I had NO IDEA that one of my country's biggest exports is sharks! I am both appalled and disgusted! We don't even have any traditional shark dishes or any use for them! Why the hell are we even moving them around like that?! It can't be *that* lucrative!!
So let me get this straight: It is unacceptable for a private business that is owned by a company that is based in the territory of a foreign geopolitical rival to collect and sell user data due to the alleged threat posed by that company handing over that user data to said rival government...*BUT* it is entirely acceptable for a US based company to do the exact same thing and have absolutely no policies in place whatsoever to prevent agents of that foreign rival from just buying that data themselves on the market? Something is telling me this isn't really about protecting people.
More or less, just remember the Edward Snowden about the intelligence agencies and the fact that they can still drag US companies to court or congress if they wanted to. Then it makes more sense.
Yeah, because if not every facet of a problem is being addressed simultaneously then we should do nothing. What a classic political chestnut to naysay regulation. And that's putting aside the issues with TikTok are not just limited to data collection.
Hi, you said my name on your show and shared my comment from the last video on building regulation. Felt cool/weird. Sending this video to my old building inspector buddies, they’ll get a kick out of it!
The shark finning story is super important. My marine bio professor in college explained this to our class, almost 10 years ago now. If the situation was bad back then, I can't imagine how terrible it must have gotten. Sharks are an incredibly important part of our oceans, not to mention our overall eco system. I hope this brings more awareness to the situation. Shout out to Phil and the team for talking about it!
The last time Netflix attempted a live premiere, it was a Love is Blind reunion/finale. It was delayed for like 3 hours before they finally admitted live wasn't going to happen. Hope they figure that out before Tyson punches a hole through Paul's face.
I've heard about the shark fin problem since I was in 4th grade and recently graduated university. This reminds me of the octopus farm story or how South Korea recently banned dog meat. I can understand cultural differences in cuisine but over-hunting and animal cruelty is objectively bad
The thing about brains and explosions: They don't need to look at our brains, we can tell you claymores, artillery, and motors will F-up your brain. I set off a Bangalore once and had a headache for a week.
The fact that this comment begins with "Two things about..." and only makes one point about brains & explosions is either very clever or very...self-evident.
Same like Facebook, snapchat, Instagram, WhatsApp. Oh yeah, all of them are Facebook and do whatever they want with them because they are Monopoly. Remember Facebook too get all data, but because congress can tell Facebook to say whatever they want is ok.
The same government that actively spy’s on you? How about FB selling your data directly to china? But TikTok “potentially” shares your data and that’s okay? Sheep
It's only because only the US govt, private and publicly traded US companies are allowed all of our data to use as they want. Well, except all of the smart appliances made overseas and a lot of other apps and games we play that connect to FB profiles. Congress is just trying to install a peeing section in the local pool. 😅
I remember reading a short text about shark hunters in my English class in early highschool and ended up crying in front of the class because my whole childhood I was basically only allowed to watch Animal Planet and knew how little respect fishermen had for sharks. I'm way better today when it comes to handling my emotions, but that story just brought me back, man. Give those sea puppies a break
This Matt Rife story is very clearly a bad attempt at a joke by the guy. He ended it by saying “just because someone is more successful than you doesn’t mean they’re better than you, it means they’re gayer.” How is anyone taking this seriously?
I figured that “dick sucking” was meant to be a metaphor for doing whatever they tell you but then it just.. he took it no where. Not funny at all. That’s why people took it seriously, it’s not funny xd
Firstly, this is not a social media ban as they said in the article, it's essentially a forced sell off (to stop any form of Chinese influence) The thing with social media is that it's one of the most crucial things to controlling the views of the people... I think that leaving that in the hands of someone that wants to do america harm is a pretty glaring issue Any other country i might not be so concerned about... but China specifically has a level of control over EVERY company based in China, in which the government has the power to shut them down instantly if they do not comply, that it's terrifying and i would never feel comfortable leaving that much control over the public's perception in their hands and nothing more than their word that they aren't gonna use it to effectively mettle in things like elections and other seriously critical public interests Fixing the economy would be great, but this is a matter of national security
I was born and raised here in Lewiston and while yes, I was so angry at him, I was also heartbroken for him because I knew he was mentally ill. My heart broke not only for the victims, but also Robert Card and his family

25:48 A few years ago, the apartment building next door to me burned down. As the new building was going up, I could tell the construction crew was cutting all kinds of corners, especially the insulation and violations of the ADA. Long story short, in the last 3 years the sprinkler system froze and ruptured once a year, destroying multiple apartments, and who knows how many personal items of the renters.
You should cover Project 2025, which I thought was a crazy conspiracy until I looked into it and found out it's something that the heritage foundation is actually working towards... The heritage foundation that is one of most influential conservative think tanks in America
I have no stake in the TikTok fight, but I have to laugh at the way they handled it. Congress's argument for the ban was that the app could influence the American public, and TikTok's strategy was. . . to round up a mob of users for a political blitz. Congress: "They could use their popularity against us!" Twitter: "Let's have this angry mob of fans argue my point for me." Talk about suffering from success.
I'm first-gen Chinese-American. Shark fin soup is a MUST for weddings and funerals. I became a vegetarian 11 years ago, and when I said I wasn't going to have meat, including shark fin, at my wedding (I was engaged), my family was furious. In Asian cultures, the wedding isn't for the couple getting married; it's for their parents. You invite all family and friends and friends of your parents you don't even know! But my partner at the time was also vegetarian, and that was a choice we made together for ethical reasons, and some of my family was PROTESTING MY WEDDING because of the lack of meat. For reference, not just shark fin, but all meat is part of the 9 or 12 course meal, each representing something different, like wealth, good fortune, and longevity. For reasons unrelated to shark fin soup, that engagement died faster than these endangered hammerheads.
While true, its just what every other company does as well. Its usually their last ditch effort to get their customers angry when their other attempts to stop legislation already failed.
it is and he will. best case scenario it is a Flyodd/Logan result, which would be terrible for everyone. I won't be able to handle one Paul brother being delusional in thinking he beat Mayweather and the other thinking they beat Tyson. This social media clout BS is too much. It has destroyed society on almost every level.

The thing with the NordVPN for flights is that some airlines have caught on and now require cards that are specifically for that country and they verify this by the billing information on a card. So they then prompt you back to its region
@kyleellis1825 flights, car rentals and hotels shouldn't be charging based on your location. Netflix shouldn't only stream specific shows in specific countries and not others. We pay for it, they have the contracts already, why can't we watch it? All corporations fraud their users, VPN is just a chance to fight back. Too bad they always catch back.
The thing with all VPNs is that they can only advertise the side benefits they can provide. They can't come out and say that their primary use is to point to point encrypt data so that your local ISP can not track the traffic and report you for pirating content as they are required to do by law. There's a reason all VPN ads have a line about how they don't record or keep records on traffic.
As far as Emily Helm's comment in Yesterday Today, I can confirm that builders and contractors are, as a whole, NOT your friend. When I first bought my house, it needed the foundation & floor of the back room to be replaced. Why? Because the original builder cut corners, making it genuinely unsafe and unstable. I hired a contractor. Despite an inspector from the city coming by, the contractor cut so many corners that it needs to be rebuilt AGAIN 5 years later. On top of that, the shoddy work they did has negatively impacted the rest of the house. Basically, I went from needing a $10k repair job 5 years ago to needing a $40k repair job now. And I can't even sue the contractor for what they did. 🤬 Don't make my mistake: hire your own independent inspector to make sure your builder/contractor isn't cutting corners!
Brain injury was about the US soldiers but my thoughts went straight to kids in the warzone 😔 People in these areas will suffer from PTSD. And the kids born during and after the war will have to grow up in the hardest environment 😢
I didn’t know about shark finning until after I had my one and only bowl at a traditional Chinese wedding of a dear friend. It was banned two years later. They also use dogs to lure the sharks. They will hook them live and drop them to lure 💔 It’s a sign of affluence, and the collagen is thought to be good for skin and health.
I'm so pissed that instead of admitting they fucked up when they were told MULTIPLE times that the shooter was going to do this, they did nothing. They swept it under the room, so they blame it on something else. They cry mental health issues every mass shooting but never the guns. They're never go to do anything about it. Ever.
@@mamanoneyall51 If that's the case, why isn't the government doing something to make mental health care or any health care affordable. Oh that's right, they don't want to because then they can't use it as an excuse.
On the topic of the Matt Rife story. The power of words is a frightening force. If Phil did a five minute segment on how the world is going to end tomorrow, I would absolutely believe it until I looked into it after the segment.
When I heard the other guy was an alpha bro influencer that was all I needed to know this guy is full of shit and just wants to tear someone down for some reason or another, and does it with a lie that would only make him look worse to anyone with empathy
They eat a lot of endangered shark and rays in Australia under the name ‘flake.’ Most fried fish and chips shops sell shark meat because it is cheaper than other fish. Pretty disgusting.
My grandfather was a hunter and the few times I went along, it was obvious he loved deer, fish, birds, and when he killed one, he honor it by using every piece of the body, give back to nature what nature gives you. We are all Earthlings and get, rhinos and sharks are being hunted down for nothing, just a paycheck so some rich guy could flex his wealth. Greed is gonna kill this planet, strip it of life, piles of bones of needless death. I fear that in my lifetime, I will live in a world with animals I admire as a kid are all gone.
Honestly they should care about tt the amount of information I got from TT that no other SM even mention is crazy everything about Nex everything shady going on in congress or with companies are from there which is why they want it banned
Same. Trump, Project 2025, Climate Change, The Patriot Act, people dont care. Take away thier Facebook and precious 30 second videos and suddenly everything is on fire. Priorities am I right?
Lots of Gen Zers who are old enough to vote and who care about politics get their information about important stuff through TikTok, and many older politicians have shown that they don't like the app because it prevents them from controlling info the way they like it. And also, many people have trouble with thinking or caring about something that's important until it happens to them or someone they care about like a close friend or more likely, a family member. So for those people, they won't get angry until it affects them like taking away their favorite app.
Thank you for doing the shark story Phil. They're such beautiful creatures that have been on this planet longer than trees, survived so many mass extinctions, and now they're on the brink for flavourless soup. It's a tragic farce.
@@President_NotSure that's because most don't care. They'll see it as shark eat other animals and leave what it doesn't like for waste or other animals to eat.

Ever since I saw the film Sharkwater , I've always been infuriated with the business of shark fins. It is insanely baffling in 2024 that there are people, who are capable of making fully formed sentences that would be like "I want this useless dish at my meal". I've never personally met someone thats been "what I could really go for now is a bowl of shark fin soup". NOT. ONCE..... and I live in a highly Asian populated city. How is there still enough of a market in 2024 for this thing no one wants? Lastly, go watch Sharkwater. Amazing documentary by the late, great, Rob Stewart.
It's going to be a draw - everyone tunes in to these events hoping to see Paul get KO'd, and they'll stop watching when someone actually does it. So he never will be KO'd as long as there is money to be made...
@@luodeligesi7238exactly I have no doubt that he did this knowing they plan to end it in a tie. I'm not saying Tyson doesn't have a real chance but he's still 60 and retired he has no reason to be in this fight except for the paycheck and we know he'd never agree to get humiliated knowing he's old by fighting some young guy he can't keep up with anymore for real and risk it hurting his reputation of his career. This is def just for promo and money. As much as I'd love a world where Mike Tyson rocks Jake Paul's shit, I know that's too good to be true.
Tyson's movement speed isn't what it once was and he's said he doesn't have that same aggression in him anymore, but he's as sharp in the head as he ever was, so I'm hardly worried about him forgetting where he is. But if he manages to make solid contact, Jake might need a diaper.
Happy Birthday Phil! Been watching you since I was in high-school. Im now a mother of two and a nurse. You have been an honest and amazing creator. 🎉 Best wishes to you and your family.
Hey Phil, I just want to share some anecdotal evidence as to why you should be interested in low-flow shower heads especially. My fiancée and I are renting out of an old house with a tankless water heater, and for the first two years that we lived here we would have to wait a solid ten to fifteen minutes before each shower just to get the water up to temp, but even then we'd only have about seven solid minutes of hot water before the cycle repeated. My fiancée eventually got fed up with the terrible hot water situation and replaced our shower head with a low-flow head off of amazon that must have cost like fifteen bucks. Good lord has that thing been a life changer. Not only do we have hot water consistently in our shower now, not only does it take less than a minute for our water to heat up these days, but the shower pressure is stronger than ever. Turns out that flow rate doesn't necessarily correlate to water pressure. Go figure.
I have heard of the endangerment of sharks some 15 years or more ago and yet the market has not changed. I'm Chinese myself and when I first heard that shark fin is actually tasteless (as I have attested to the deliciousness of shark fin soup) I was horrified that it's merely a status symbol that actually serve no purpose now. The soup is very affordable and a lot of people like myself before believed to be tasteful on itself so it's sad to see that a harmful culture continues to exist despite the threat of more important things.
Watching the Rooster Teeth live stream today was heart breaking, despite the recent scandals and issues, you can tell the people that were present genuinely were shedding their tears and were losing a home and family and job they love. I've lost so many jobs including a dream job I had, but I can only imagine theirs is even more reality destroying. I feel for the entire crew.
We need a pixar movie called Saving Bruce to spread awareness about the injustice sharks are going through. Bruce will never get to have kids and be the father that his shark father wasn't.
Of thousands of constituents calling their Congress person to tell them not to vote for a thing makes them want to vote for that thing even more, then what is even the point of democracy?
100% agree with Phil, I need my water pressure. My showers get MUCH longer if I don't have enough pressure, because I can't get clean... heck even after the longer shower, I'm still not really clean, I will try to conserve water in every other way I can, but I need plenty of water pressure for showering, and admittedly, washing my hands, but I'm pretty quick with that one. Also most American toilets waste SOOOO much water, coming from Australia and spending time traveling and living in the US, it's wild to see how much water most of your toilets use, and that you always have to use a "full" flush. We use less water for a full flush, and we have a "half" flush button, for when you don't need as much flushing.
Phil you’re gonna make me finish my degree bringing up the shark fin trade😫 I was going for marine biology and wanted to focus on sharks before I dropped out. The fin trade has been a problem for a long time and is so brutal but people don’t care because they don’t like sharks anyway, not realizing how important they are. Thank you for raising awareness!

If that comedian witnessed a crime, then he needs to report it to the police. If not, and this story turns out to be true, he could be an accessory because he failed to report it. If it is false, then it is defamation, and he needs to be held accountable. Either way, he has just opened himself up to possible criminal or civil action.

I'm a fan of Tyson and he was insane in his prime. But he is way too old to be fighting any young guy who is training full time. I absolutely hate Jake beating legends to make money. It's really gross on many levels.
There is no world in which Yamini's video is acceptable, joke or not. If it's a joke: I've been SA'd & see humor as a way to deal with trauma. Meaning that I do think it's okay to joke about SA. HOWEVER, if you're going to joke about it, the target of your joke should be the perpetrator, NOT the victim. If it's serious: you should "out" the perpetrators only. It's unconscionable to "out" the victim as though it's somehow their fault. Ick! The homophobia was the rotten cherry on top. This guy is not a role model for masculinity. He's an insecure, jealous, petty example of what NOT to do.
The fact you had the segment a while back about the name James being one of the most common names. These random times in your videos you mention "James" it is causing this break in the matrix moments that are slowly getting at me and today was the peak with the added sfx. It is becoming surreal.
I've been watching the PDS since the 3-4 minute era and I'm also an avid viewer of science educators on RUclips, and I am so thrilled to see Phil covering these science topics on the show. Watching him build up from zero to cosmic web in 60 seconds on Monday and unpacking the shark hunting trade today has me excited for what this show is growing into!

As a teacher, hearing about the ban on Tiktok is music to my ears. That platform has rotted the brains of my students. When I say numerous students are mindlessly and horrendously addicted to the platform, I truly mean it. They cannot get off the app. They will ask for passes to the bathroom to go into the hallway and do TikTok dances and things of that nature. They will spend no less than 6-10 hours per day scrolling around TikTok as well. Recently, one of my seniors did a project looking at peoples posts and views on TikTok and some of the numbers she saw were just flat out horrifying. The addiction to social media is real and TikTok capitalizes on it in a way that is quite scary. I genuinely hope to see this ban pass, if for no one else, for the future of America (and all countries really).
Apart from being chinese owned, how is tiktok that much different from other platforms? Won't it just be immediately replaced by something else if shut down?
@@anacc3257 It came at a time when kids were at their most vulnerable, so while it could have been any platform, it happened to be TikTok as the way their platform works is, while similar to some others, was most unique and attention grabbing for younger minds. It isn't necessarily TikTok that's the issue, it's 100% social media as a whole. They are just the most popular and considering who owns it, just makes for a bad mix.
As a Dive Instructor I’m a huge proponent of saving sharks and try and spread the news of trying to save them, hearing Philly D talk about sharks dying is awesome! Spread the news Phil!
These tiktok bills just say "how dare a Chinese company have ownership of a social media app, this is America! We sell that information to the Chinese, not just give it to them!" to me

The shark finning story broke my heart. I am stunned again by the cruelty humans are capable of for the sake of money. And driving a species that predates us into extinction should truly give us a long hard pause. But I know nothing is going to happen. I have no words.
Same here. It just depressed me about how humans continue to destroy their own home for profit and comfort. Unfortunately, it is most likely too late for our children to be able to enjoy the same world we were so privileged to grow up in.
Yeah idk how I felt about that after hearing an ad for JUST MEATS.....
Yeah, I was similarly heartbroken… just, wow
The truth has always been that humans eat millions of sharks every year, sharks only rarely eat humans. And they never come on land to hunt us. Finning is disgusting.
The fact you lot are shocked is the funniest thing
I'm from Palau. We had the world's first Shark Sanctuary. It's simple, you want to protect sharks, you need to go all out. No take policy period. Other solutions don't work.
Fishing is the leading cause of shark decline. They are caught up in the nets along with the sea turtles and everything else. If you want to save ocean life, stop eating fish.

I wish our (the US) government would put at least half of the effort they put into banning TikTok to limiting what data can be tracked (through social media and smart devices) and sold/used. It is a major issue and TikTok is part of that issue but all the major platforms do it. I also don’t like that the US can effectively target any company that they don’t have some control over. Honestly, starting to ban applications from “foreign adversaries” can quickly turn into banning things from places they don’t agree with ideologically. It honestly feels very much like the CCP and their control over social media.
As an european I am honestly hyped about this move by america, as if it goes through then that will put pressure and motive on all other countries to do the same for facebook etc. It will clearly showcase to other nations that there are *"real"* "security concerns" about letting your citizens use those apps, even if your laws already ban the privacy violating stuff everyone knows they do anyway.
I don't think most people understand how much time and resources are dedicated to espionage by the ccp, as well as how vulnerable we have already been to Russian misinformation campaigns. The tiktok ban is coming from a national security perspective, which is one of the only things our government actually takes seriously anymore.
Is this not the literal first step in that direction? Also we aren’t banning it because it’s a foreign entity we have tons of those Sony, Toyota, Toshiba, we are banning because they have to share all data with CCP which was your first complaint!
Ah yes, when it's been proven multiple times that China and Russia interfere and try to brainwash the American youth, it's a bad idea to limit that control.

Hi! Former Hill intern here- the people answering congressional phones are actually UNPAID interns - 18-22 year olds who still have hope that we can help change this country. We take abuse and crap from the immediate world and don’t see a cent. And it doesn’t guarantee a full paying job or anything. You didn’t emphasize ENOUGH how absolutely cruel it is to abuse the people on the phones on Capitol Hill. Hell, dealing with the public was a massive part of why I totally changed careers and am completely jaded on anyone’s ability to create change on a national scale through the legislative process.
Write it down and give it to them do your job and make them know they’re mad
A week in retail will give you the same jaded feeling and I worked in retail for close to 4 years when I was young. I can't think of how much abuse you guys were getting over the phone cause people can't see your face and some just has a vitriol hate for the government so they'd just fuck with government workers for the fun of it.

I can't imagine the level of hate you guys got thrown at you working as unpaid interns for Capitol Hill. There should never be unpaid jobs that people have to work while still paying bills to live. Sadly it's just yet another way a capitalist society can force people to work for free or very little pay after the greedy lost slavery. It happens in jail too. Ppl there get paid pennies, yes actual pennies per hr, while trying to pay not only for the many things they need in jail that's not covered but also phone calls, envelopes, stamps, child support, and any money owed to the court or the victims. Things need to change. One thing I realized now that I'm getting close to 50 is that greed really is the root of all evil.

From Hong Kong. There was a shark charity here that ran a survey. An overwhelming number said they didn't like shark fin soup. In the same survey an overwhelming number said they would still serve shark fin soup at a wedding or want it to be served.
That sounds like some solid logic 😂

The shark finning story leaves me feeling the same as I did with the recent octopus farming story. The greed of those in power will forever outweigh empathy and compassion toward the rest of nature. Short-term gains will forever outweigh the state of the Earth as we know it. Future generations will have to deal with the repercussions of how we act today, just as we're dealing with the repercussions of the actions of the last century, and I struggle to have confidence that cycle will ever change.

Thank you so much for the PSA about the people who work congressional office phones. I was an intern on Capitol Hill a couple years ago and I was subjected to so much abuse (which I was in no way prepared for - I got no training on how to handle people yelling at me repeatedly).

Fun fact, the TikTok bill was a thing for awhile and going nowhere until the ADL dude iirc called, aka this dude who is a zionist and hates how TikTok shows the TRUTH of Israel's monstrous actions. Should really point that aspect out, Phil. Look at those who take AIPAC money too.
Regarding the public response to TikTok, it's such a testament to our priorities that losing TikTok gets more direct action than pretty much every other issue in recent history.
That’s the first thing I thought when hearing that story. It’s hard to be on the side of TikTok users when this is what incentivizes them to be politically active but the decline of our healthcare system, rising living costs, and other pressing issues just don’t seem to do it.
I’m sure many users will defend the app by saying how it brings awareness about things that they didn’t know before BUT realistically speaking, the same users are more likely to waste their days away doomscrolling, getting influenced to buy things they don’t need, or trying to partake in useless trends.
I love using TikTok but I was also pretty sadden by that. I can’t vote, but boy do I wish I could. Even if I’m just a penny in the dish I’d like feel like I’m contributing to changing my local political climate. 😵💫
I find the case interesting and important, not because it's TikTok but due to what they use to motivate it.
It doesn't feel like a good idea to give a government the right to shut down companies with the claim that it's connected to an enemy of the state. And that without actually giving any proof for the claim.
This is because TikTok is what the new generation is USING to ORGANIZE direct action on important issues. Congress knows this which is why they want it gone. They know that people are popularizing views that go against the establishment on there. They know it's the best platform to use to organize the youth. And because of that they either wan't total control over it or want it gone.
What's more sickening is this is not about banning TikTok.
But rather about pushing TikTok to sell off at bargain price.
Would be nice if Congress cared as much about all the other companies operating in the USA that are primarily Chinese owned, like agriculture.
Those don’t influence young folks

I used to eat shark fin soup during weddings. I stopped, of course. Since they do not taste like anything, the texture of the fin can easily be replicated with mushrooms, specifically wood ear. Hopefully the situation will get better

@@VikingNidhoggsounds like a skill issue tbh
For Shark Fin soup one solution could be to find ways to make fake shark fins and flooding the market with them. This is what was done to help protect Elephants from poaching.
When did that happen with ivory? As far as I know, the only non-elephant ivory is mammoth ivory recovered from the artic. Which, while much better than driving more elephants to extinction, is still a loss of paleontological value.
Like shark fins, ivory is another good example of environmental destruction for the sake of appearances or "luxury"
I mean let's not forget the role the militaries played in relocating and enforcing sanctuaries. What Phill left out is these are rich connected guys also hunting other nearly existent animals like manta rays like edible nfts and do have armed battles. Their bad people who know better and have other choices they will just find a next mark no matter how unethical.
Good idea, it's not like they'd be able to taste the difference
Shark fin is almost identical in taste and texture to glass noodles
Don't you dare touch my shark fin soup...
The problem is that we are regulating shark fishing rather than outlawing it.
That's how animal conservation works. If you can't regulate an animals hunting, you outlaw it immediately, if only for a temporary time.
For real, with farm animals you'd think shark wouldn't be on the list.
Guessing trophy and food? Weird creatures we humans are. Why not just go for fish that are plentiful?
Human condition I guess.
@@FezMooseLiveWhy not stop eating animals? Humans caring about sharks but not other animals is also a weird aspect of the human condition.
You can't fish without bycatch, so fishing well result in the death of sharks and sea turtles. Just like clearing land for farming land animals results in diversity loss and extinction on land.
Eating animals is the problem.
It will just become black market goods and become mega expensive.
Gordon Ramsey has long been outspoken about how ridiculous it’s been to serve shark fin soup
The shark finning story just breaks my heart. Humans will never just set a line and then never cross it. I hate this greed for money, especially when it comes to killing a life of any sort for their own benefit and profit. There should be sustainable methods for this that are strictly enforced. These beautiful animals won't last this way and the damage that it can cause to ecosystems is actually really crucial. Don't even get me started on whaling...Whale Wars on Animal Planet really opened my eyes on that issue.

16:29 "Going Postal" was the phrase that came to mind during this story, Phil. It was a REAL phenomenon back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Our US Vietnam veterans' military members suffer with no suppot. Right after the Vietnam War, the USPS hired thousands of Vietnam combat veterans, many of whom were dealing with war trauma and undiagnosed PTSD.
As a country, we must demand better for all veterans who serve our country and often at the cost of their own lives. ❤❤❤
You're talking about psychological trauma, PTSD, here. These studies were about physical damage to the brain tissues of servicemen exposed to close-range explosives. The Maine shooter never saw active duty, but he DID train people to use grenades for a few years. Those constant close-range explosives essentially vibrated his brain tissues so much they started to break apart.
This isn't to say a lot of veterans from Vietnam or Korea didn't also have this kind of brain injury, just that you seemed to be talking about psychological injuries, not physical ones.
@@ruralmetalheadI think the implication coming to light now is that many of those incidents may very well have had more physical causes than we knew at the time.
Bailey sarian taught me this
My major in college was Environmental Science and a minor in Environmental Engineering. One of the projects I had to to was researching the importance of sharks on the environment and turns out, they’re super freaking important! A huge amount of CO2 emissions are absorbed by the ocean, more specifically ocean plant life and plankton. Much like the wolves, in Yellowstone, sharks help keep the fish populations in balance. Without sharks, the fish populations will grow and over consume the plankton that helps absorb emissions. Since corporations lobby so hard and campaign so hard to put the responsibility of reducing emissions to off set their pollution, we need all the help we can get. Trees are important, but wild predators are just as important.
This actually made me think of something, if true then imo it’s really sinister. I wonder if the push for trees to be seen as the symbol as what helps keep our air and planet clean helped contribute to the neglect of the ocean. Because amongst the general public it’s seems they are incredibly ignorant to how vital its survival is to our own. I’m just wondering if there’s a correlation there. I actually might take time out of my day to see what I can find. I just don’t know when because university keeps me tired and busy.
We’ve already seen side effects of a marine animal being over hunted and its effect on the ocean with the whales.
I wish that schools did a better job of teaching how basically all of nature is interconnected. Even waste from animals is food for other animals and plants.

It’s wild because when I was in university doing my environmental science and ecology degree, we talked in depth about shark fin soup and its effects the food web through the decline in shark populations. It reminds me of when they hunted wolves out of Yellowstone park, and then the ecosystem went to shit. Top predators are incredibly important to the ecosystem as they help control populations of smaller predators and herbivores who if left unchecked will throw plant populations out of whack. It’s crazy to be seeing the effects that we talked about before become so much more apparent.
in elementary school, i actually drew up an entire petition asking bush (LOL) to sanction china for shark finning. i don't even remember how i heard about shark finning, but i've been an advocate since i was young. thanks for talking about this!
Last time I responded I went in kinda hard on the VA not conecting my exposure to blasts to my service. But you'll be glad to know I found one Clinic appointment I went to all the way back in 2018 and now the VA has to screen me for TBIs. This is partly because the last story made me look harder for a service connection, thanks Phil!
Hope it goes well for you
I never really feared sharks. In fact, I'm more scared of tornadoes than of sharks. But the fact they are getting hunted so often makes me sad. I only recently found out that most if not all hammerhead sharks are endangered, some even critically. Why hunt for them if they're not tasty? There needs to be a way of faking shark meat. Lab-grown meat is already a thing, so why not tap into that market?
Oh man, there’s this movie I need to tell you about….
He'll be 50% terrified.@@Collorious
@@Collorious Sharknado?
Same. I grew up spending time on the Gulf a lot and I used to play a game with myself where I’d swim as far as I could from shore (the thought of my kid doing that now makes me feel sick).
Twice I accidentally stepped on or swam over a shark (pretty sure they were both sand tiger sharks) and all they did was very quickly swim off away from me.
I was just a little kid, but it made me realize that they were incredibly scared of me and not looking to hurt me.
I’ve been a bit fascinated by sharks ever since.
@@Hoffy1138 😉
It's kind of mind-blowing that so many people still see sharks through the lens of a movie released in 1978. I just wrote a kids book on sharks focusing on the most current research and so much of it is about discovering/confirming that sharks have friends, personalities etc. And yeah, they are absolutely essential to healthy oceans aka a healthy planet. There are some great organizations out there working to protect sharks. But you (and that recent study) flagged something vital - shark finning gets most of the oxygen but there are so many other, bigger threats - including general over-fishing, bycatch, and all the damage we're doing to the oceans. But based on media reports you'd think the only threats are finning and a couple of ingenious orcas who are snacking on 'em in South Africa... Thanks for sharing.
What's the book called? Sharks have been my favorite since I was a kid 😊 I'd love to buy a copy for myself if/when it's released!
I'm glad the family of the shooter got the additional testing done and got some answers. It doesn't change what happened but it can help other veterans going forward. Hell because of your story my husband, who was a Marine combat engineer and a part of his job was setting off explosives, actually contacted the VA and set up an appointment in the next couple of weeks to get checked for TBI. He even brought up your story to his doctor to explain why he wanted the testing and the doctor scheduled him that day. I hate that it was a horrible tragedy that caused us to start taking our veterans health seriously but I'm glad to see others get the help they need. I will emphasize that just because someone was in the military and has a TBI does NOT mean that they are going to horrible things.
Hope your husband's scans come back clean and tell him thanks for his service
Thank you Phil for covering the massive decline is shark populations around the globe! As a conservation ecologist we talk about this a ton, and big shows like yours highlighting this and other ecological disaster issues makes sure they get seen by so many more people. For anyone curious about trying shark meat, it contains way higher levels of mercury than other fishes sold at the supermarket due to the fact that they are a top predator and all the mercury from the fish they ate accumulates in their body. Eating it enough can noticeably raise blood mercury levels in humans. Leave them in the ocean where they belong!
Portuguese guy here.
I had NO IDEA that one of my country's biggest exports is sharks! I am both appalled and disgusted! We don't even have any traditional shark dishes or any use for them! Why the hell are we even moving them around like that?! It can't be *that* lucrative!!
Why do i feel like im the only one that never cares what the paul brothers do ever.
Trust me, idc what they do either.
You aren't. I promise there are a lot of us who give zero shits about either of them.

Honestly I am the same way I feel like there is more important things
people only care because they think that others care. They hide opinions like yours because they dont serve the narritive of fame.
So let me get this straight: It is unacceptable for a private business that is owned by a company that is based in the territory of a foreign geopolitical rival to collect and sell user data due to the alleged threat posed by that company handing over that user data to said rival government...*BUT* it is entirely acceptable for a US based company to do the exact same thing and have absolutely no policies in place whatsoever to prevent agents of that foreign rival from just buying that data themselves on the market? Something is telling me this isn't really about protecting people.
More or less, just remember the Edward Snowden about the intelligence agencies and the fact that they can still drag US companies to court or congress if they wanted to. Then it makes more sense.
yup, you got it
Nice catch.
Usa is the king of Double Standarts
Yeah, because if not every facet of a problem is being addressed simultaneously then we should do nothing. What a classic political chestnut to naysay regulation. And that's putting aside the issues with TikTok are not just limited to data collection.
Hi, you said my name on your show and shared my comment from the last video on building regulation. Felt cool/weird. Sending this video to my old building inspector buddies, they’ll get a kick out of it!
The shark finning story is super important. My marine bio professor in college explained this to our class, almost 10 years ago now. If the situation was bad back then, I can't imagine how terrible it must have gotten. Sharks are an incredibly important part of our oceans, not to mention our overall eco system. I hope this brings more awareness to the situation. Shout out to Phil and the team for talking about it!
The last time Netflix attempted a live premiere, it was a Love is Blind reunion/finale. It was delayed for like 3 hours before they finally admitted live wasn't going to happen. Hope they figure that out before Tyson punches a hole through Paul's face.
I heard netflix i was like wtf is going on
They already did a live broadcast of the SAG Awards, so it looks like they fixed their issues.
I've heard about the shark fin problem since I was in 4th grade and recently graduated university. This reminds me of the octopus farm story or how South Korea recently banned dog meat. I can understand cultural differences in cuisine but over-hunting and animal cruelty is objectively bad
The thing about brains and explosions: They don't need to look at our brains, we can tell you claymores, artillery, and motors will F-up your brain. I set off a Bangalore once and had a headache for a week.

TikTok: "Your government wants to ban us for potentially stealing your personal data!!! Quick tell us what zip code you live in!!" 🤣🤣
America already sells the data to China….
Same like Facebook, snapchat, Instagram, WhatsApp. Oh yeah, all of them are Facebook and do whatever they want with them because they are Monopoly. Remember Facebook too get all data, but because congress can tell Facebook to say whatever they want is ok.
The same government that actively spy’s on you? How about FB selling your data directly to china? But TikTok “potentially” shares your data and that’s okay? Sheep
It's only because only the US govt, private and publicly traded US companies are allowed all of our data to use as they want. Well, except all of the smart appliances made overseas and a lot of other apps and games we play that connect to FB profiles. Congress is just trying to install a peeing section in the local pool. 😅
So it's ok when US owned companies do it and freely give this information to law enforcement for the purpose of suppressing speech and freedom?
I remember reading a short text about shark hunters in my English class in early highschool and ended up crying in front of the class because my whole childhood I was basically only allowed to watch Animal Planet and knew how little respect fishermen had for sharks. I'm way better today when it comes to handling my emotions, but that story just brought me back, man.
Give those sea puppies a break
This Matt Rife story is very clearly a bad attempt at a joke by the guy. He ended it by saying “just because someone is more successful than you doesn’t mean they’re better than you, it means they’re gayer.” How is anyone taking this seriously?
Because people are gullible.
Well damn, that's a terrible joke 😂

I heard Mike Pence and not Mike Tyson at first and I was like what a weird move for Mike Pence's career.

Wish our governement spent more time trying to fix our economy and get rid of corruption versus trying to ban social media.
Firstly, this is not a social media ban as they said in the article, it's essentially a forced sell off (to stop any form of Chinese influence)
The thing with social media is that it's one of the most crucial things to controlling the views of the people... I think that leaving that in the hands of someone that wants to do america harm is a pretty glaring issue
Any other country i might not be so concerned about... but China specifically has a level of control over EVERY company based in China, in which the government has the power to shut them down instantly if they do not comply, that it's terrifying and i would never feel comfortable leaving that much control over the public's perception in their hands and nothing more than their word that they aren't gonna use it to effectively mettle in things like elections and other seriously critical public interests
Fixing the economy would be great, but this is a matter of national security
These are all aspects of governance, looking at paper doesn’t make economic policy move faster.

A few years ago, the apartment building next door to me burned down. As the new building was going up, I could tell the construction crew was cutting all kinds of corners, especially the insulation and violations of the ADA. Long story short, in the last 3 years the sprinkler system froze and ruptured once a year, destroying multiple apartments, and who knows how many personal items of the renters.
You should cover Project 2025, which I thought was a crazy conspiracy until I looked into it and found out it's something that the heritage foundation is actually working towards... The heritage foundation that is one of most influential conservative think tanks in America

This, comment to make it see
Man that's awful, Nobody should spread gambling that casually- gambling is destructive.
I have no stake in the TikTok fight, but I have to laugh at the way they handled it. Congress's argument for the ban was that the app could influence the American public, and TikTok's strategy was. . . to round up a mob of users for a political blitz.
Congress: "They could use their popularity against us!"
Twitter: "Let's have this angry mob of fans argue my point for me."
Talk about suffering from success.
I'm first-gen Chinese-American. Shark fin soup is a MUST for weddings and funerals. I became a vegetarian 11 years ago, and when I said I wasn't going to have meat, including shark fin, at my wedding (I was engaged), my family was furious. In Asian cultures, the wedding isn't for the couple getting married; it's for their parents. You invite all family and friends and friends of your parents you don't even know! But my partner at the time was also vegetarian, and that was a choice we made together for ethical reasons, and some of my family was PROTESTING MY WEDDING because of the lack of meat. For reference, not just shark fin, but all meat is part of the 9 or 12 course meal, each representing something different, like wealth, good fortune, and longevity. For reasons unrelated to shark fin soup, that engagement died faster than these endangered hammerheads.
Tiktok did not fully think through their response. They did exactly what the politicians claim they would be able to do 💀
They literally told users "Give us your zip codes!"
IDIOTS
While true, its just what every other company does as well. Its usually their last ditch effort to get their customers angry when their other attempts to stop legislation already failed.
It better not be an exhibition. Tyson can’t go out losing to Jake.

The thing with the NordVPN for flights is that some airlines have caught on and now require cards that are specifically for that country and they verify this by the billing information on a card. So they then prompt you back to its region
It's fraud.
@@kyleellis1825 not wrong
@kyleellis1825 flights, car rentals and hotels shouldn't be charging based on your location. Netflix shouldn't only stream specific shows in specific countries and not others. We pay for it, they have the contracts already, why can't we watch it? All corporations fraud their users, VPN is just a chance to fight back. Too bad they always catch back.
@@kyleellis1825 Yes companies using your data to charge you more and manipulate you with fear is fraud. No doubt about it.
The thing with all VPNs is that they can only advertise the side benefits they can provide. They can't come out and say that their primary use is to point to point encrypt data so that your local ISP can not track the traffic and report you for pirating content as they are required to do by law. There's a reason all VPN ads have a line about how they don't record or keep records on traffic.
I love that these videos are like exactly 27 minutes sometimes. It's the exact length of my commute.
As far as Emily Helm's comment in Yesterday Today, I can confirm that builders and contractors are, as a whole, NOT your friend.
When I first bought my house, it needed the foundation & floor of the back room to be replaced. Why? Because the original builder cut corners, making it genuinely unsafe and unstable.
I hired a contractor. Despite an inspector from the city coming by, the contractor cut so many corners that it needs to be rebuilt AGAIN 5 years later. On top of that, the shoddy work they did has negatively impacted the rest of the house. Basically, I went from needing a $10k repair job 5 years ago to needing a $40k repair job now. And I can't even sue the contractor for what they did. 🤬
Don't make my mistake: hire your own independent inspector to make sure your builder/contractor isn't cutting corners!

On the topic of the Matt Rife story. The power of words is a frightening force. If Phil did a five minute segment on how the world is going to end tomorrow, I would absolutely believe it until I looked into it after the segment.
When I heard the other guy was an alpha bro influencer that was all I needed to know this guy is full of shit and just wants to tear someone down for some reason or another, and does it with a lie that would only make him look worse to anyone with empathy
They eat a lot of endangered shark and rays in Australia under the name ‘flake.’ Most fried fish and chips shops sell shark meat because it is cheaper than other fish. Pretty disgusting.
My grandfather was a hunter and the few times I went along, it was obvious he loved deer, fish, birds, and when he killed one, he honor it by using every piece of the body, give back to nature what nature gives you. We are all Earthlings and get, rhinos and sharks are being hunted down for nothing, just a paycheck so some rich guy could flex his wealth. Greed is gonna kill this planet, strip it of life, piles of bones of needless death. I fear that in my lifetime, I will live in a world with animals I admire as a kid are all gone.
I wish people would get as angry and take action about issues that actually matter as the do about TikTok.
Honestly they should care about tt the amount of information I got from TT that no other SM even mention is crazy everything about Nex everything shady going on in congress or with companies are from there which is why they want it banned
Same. Trump, Project 2025, Climate Change, The Patriot Act, people dont care. Take away thier Facebook and precious 30 second videos and suddenly everything is on fire. Priorities am I right?
I know people who throw serious trash on the ground but they think everyone else is ruining America.
Lots of Gen Zers who are old enough to vote and who care about politics get their information about important stuff through TikTok, and many older politicians have shown that they don't like the app because it prevents them from controlling info the way they like it.
And also, many people have trouble with thinking or caring about something that's important until it happens to them or someone they care about like a close friend or more likely, a family member. So for those people, they won't get angry until it affects them like taking away their favorite app.
@@artcasual99getting their news from tiktok is exactly the problem
Thank you for doing the shark story Phil. They're such beautiful creatures that have been on this planet longer than trees, survived so many mass extinctions, and now they're on the brink for flavourless soup. It's a tragic farce.
I will always appreciate Gordon Ramsey to bring light to the issue and also go "there isn't even any flavor :/"
The Shark story was heartbreaking. Just yet another example of how the human race really is a virus on this planet.
Power is absolute and nature is unfair that will never change
So are sharks a disease on earth for the creatures it kills?
talk about it but do nothing - humans
Watch Seaspiracy. So incredibly heartbreaking the devastation we cause to our ocean life.

Ever since I saw the film Sharkwater , I've always been infuriated with the business of shark fins. It is insanely baffling in 2024 that there are people, who are capable of making fully formed sentences that would be like "I want this useless dish at my meal". I've never personally met someone thats been "what I could really go for now is a bowl of shark fin soup". NOT. ONCE..... and I live in a highly Asian populated city. How is there still enough of a market in 2024 for this thing no one wants? Lastly, go watch Sharkwater. Amazing documentary by the late, great, Rob Stewart.
Jake Paul: " i fought a real young boxer and lost, so now give me again a geriatric boxer, Imma Show everyone how strong I am"

They’re both gonna get a crazy pay out for it and it’ll most likely ALLEGEDLY be planned.
Netflix is failing so they’re gonna go this route now..
I don't understand why Tyson let Jake Paul goad him like that.
I'm expecting the fight to be where Jake is pissing his pants and Tyson forgetting where he is
He won't have the time, Tyson is going to hit him once, and he'll hit the mat. 😂😂
It's going to be a draw - everyone tunes in to these events hoping to see Paul get KO'd, and they'll stop watching when someone actually does it. So he never will be KO'd as long as there is money to be made...
@@luodeligesi7238exactly I have no doubt that he did this knowing they plan to end it in a tie. I'm not saying Tyson doesn't have a real chance but he's still 60 and retired he has no reason to be in this fight except for the paycheck and we know he'd never agree to get humiliated knowing he's old by fighting some young guy he can't keep up with anymore for real and risk it hurting his reputation of his career. This is def just for promo and money. As much as I'd love a world where Mike Tyson rocks Jake Paul's shit, I know that's too good to be true.
Tyson's movement speed isn't what it once was and he's said he doesn't have that same aggression in him anymore, but he's as sharp in the head as he ever was, so I'm hardly worried about him forgetting where he is. But if he manages to make solid contact, Jake might need a diaper.
Naahh🤭....i bet 10:1 Tyson💪 could still beat poser JakePaul🤡into a pulp....i will watch this fight 💯%
Happy Birthday Phil! Been watching you since I was in high-school. Im now a mother of two and a nurse. You have been an honest and amazing creator. 🎉 Best wishes to you and your family.
They should be *absolutely ruthless* to the actual politicians and not the staff.
Hey Phil, I just want to share some anecdotal evidence as to why you should be interested in low-flow shower heads especially. My fiancée and I are renting out of an old house with a tankless water heater, and for the first two years that we lived here we would have to wait a solid ten to fifteen minutes before each shower just to get the water up to temp, but even then we'd only have about seven solid minutes of hot water before the cycle repeated.
My fiancée eventually got fed up with the terrible hot water situation and replaced our shower head with a low-flow head off of amazon that must have cost like fifteen bucks. Good lord has that thing been a life changer. Not only do we have hot water consistently in our shower now, not only does it take less than a minute for our water to heat up these days, but the shower pressure is stronger than ever.
Turns out that flow rate doesn't necessarily correlate to water pressure. Go figure.
I have heard of the endangerment of sharks some 15 years or more ago and yet the market has not changed. I'm Chinese myself and when I first heard that shark fin is actually tasteless (as I have attested to the deliciousness of shark fin soup) I was horrified that it's merely a status symbol that actually serve no purpose now. The soup is very affordable and a lot of people like myself before believed to be tasteful on itself so it's sad to see that a harmful culture continues to exist despite the threat of more important things.
Watching the Rooster Teeth live stream today was heart breaking, despite the recent scandals and issues, you can tell the people that were present genuinely were shedding their tears and were losing a home and family and job they love. I've lost so many jobs including a dream job I had, but I can only imagine theirs is even more reality destroying. I feel for the entire crew.
We need a pixar movie called Saving Bruce to spread awareness about the injustice sharks are going through. Bruce will never get to have kids and be the father that his shark father wasn't.
Of thousands of constituents calling their Congress person to tell them not to vote for a thing makes them want to vote for that thing even more, then what is even the point of democracy?
100% agree with Phil, I need my water pressure. My showers get MUCH longer if I don't have enough pressure, because I can't get clean... heck even after the longer shower, I'm still not really clean, I will try to conserve water in every other way I can, but I need plenty of water pressure for showering, and admittedly, washing my hands, but I'm pretty quick with that one. Also most American toilets waste SOOOO much water, coming from Australia and spending time traveling and living in the US, it's wild to see how much water most of your toilets use, and that you always have to use a "full" flush. We use less water for a full flush, and we have a "half" flush button, for when you don't need as much flushing.
I am still waiting for the day Phil opens the show by says "Nothing happened today the world was at peace have a good day!"
Phil you’re gonna make me finish my degree bringing up the shark fin trade😫 I was going for marine biology and wanted to focus on sharks before I dropped out. The fin trade has been a problem for a long time and is so brutal but people don’t care because they don’t like sharks anyway, not realizing how important they are. Thank you for raising awareness!

If that comedian witnessed a crime, then he needs to report it to the police. If not, and this story turns out to be true, he could be an accessory because he failed to report it.

There is no world in which Yamini's video is acceptable, joke or not.
If it's a joke: I've been SA'd & see humor as a way to deal with trauma. Meaning that I do think it's okay to joke about SA. HOWEVER, if you're going to joke about it, the target of your joke should be the perpetrator, NOT the victim.
If it's serious: you should "out" the perpetrators only. It's unconscionable to "out" the victim as though it's somehow their fault. Ick!

Temu came later and isnt directly known to be purposefully feeding misinformation to sway voters
So was tik tok, it’s also invasive. But Y Temu should be covered under this too.
I really appreciate the shark story! They are such magnificent fellas, they’re older than trees! I never liked how they were demonized in pop culture when they are just chilling.
Not Phil having a gross ad for meat and then talking about how bad shark fin harvesting is 🙄
The matt rife thing kind of tracks though 👀 some of these misogynist male comedians hate women SO much and are SO mad that mommy never loved them that they fully go the other way and end up gay. ✨ it happens!
As a teacher, hearing about the ban on Tiktok is music to my ears. That platform has rotted the brains of my students. When I say numerous students are mindlessly and horrendously addicted to the platform, I truly mean it. They cannot get off the app. They will ask for passes to the bathroom to go into the hallway and do TikTok dances and things of that nature. They will spend no less than 6-10 hours per day scrolling around TikTok as well. Recently, one of my seniors did a project looking at peoples posts and views on TikTok and some of the numbers she saw were just flat out horrifying. The addiction to social media is real and TikTok capitalizes on it in a way that is quite scary. I genuinely hope to see this ban pass, if for no one else, for the future of America (and all countries really).
Apart from being chinese owned, how is tiktok that much different from other platforms? Won't it just be immediately replaced by something else if shut down?
@@anacc3257 It came at a time when kids were at their most vulnerable, so while it could have been any platform, it happened to be TikTok as the way their platform works is, while similar to some others, was most unique and attention grabbing for younger minds. It isn't necessarily TikTok that's the issue, it's 100% social media as a whole. They are just the most popular and considering who owns it, just makes for a bad mix.
As a Dive Instructor I’m a huge proponent of saving sharks and try and spread the news of trying to save them, hearing Philly D talk about sharks dying is awesome! Spread the news Phil!
These tiktok bills just say "how dare a Chinese company have ownership of a social media app, this is America! We sell that information to the Chinese, not just give it to them!" to me
