I am genuine when I say this: I don't understand what there is to "get" from this.
All I heard was a message about acceptance, but then says we don't accept religion and politics. Yes, it's a gaming show, but why even mention it and in such a negative way?
Then they just hang out together with a zoomed out shot of them talking about nonsense and they eat icecream. Cut. It's over.
It wasn't even very funny to me. It's charming seeing friends be friends, but that's all I got out of it.
Not trying to be a jerk, but I'm not seeing how this is something you want to put up on a new Patreon, especially when they are so new and don't have much of a YouTube presence.
It's just Ian doing his thing and what I expected. Ian does a lot of free and lose experimental bits and segments. Some will click for people, others won't. But the guy is creative and when it hits it's great (blind lines, jolly co-op, etc)
To me this ep was to do two things.
1) set the tone of the show with the song. Ian has had a decent amount of negative feedback on manups from people not liking his hair, look, etc. so it's the "here's the show, don't like,months watch"
2) do silly quick content to piece together a show and get it up and running within the week of the patreon starting. And since Ian can cut videos quickly his was first out of the gate.
Ian can't stick to one theme or bit for long so expect it to vary over time. And Brandon said on stream a lot of the shows will shift once they start trying things out, get patreon feedback, etc.
