Man, what a shitty thing to wake up to. Also, Dan not being aware of probably the biggest thing in global politics is kind of expected by me at this point.

I think you got an unintentional callout on the beastcast, yami4ct.
I reached 1 ak dollars yesterday. Join the ride!
Yeah this ain't a thing to take lightly, so Dan's "I don't know obvious thing" act doesn't play well. Should save it for useless things like sport or food instead of something actually serious.
This whole thing is unnerving to me. Not only did my Boss lost a huge chunk of his Pension trust fund because of the Pound Collapse, but it seems that awful human beings are celebrating for the fact that they just destroyed livelihood oo many people who work in the industrial, trading and leisure sectors.
At least he admits about not knowing anything about rather than outright mocking us for being upset. I'll give him a leeway for that.
EDIT: Just saw his tweet about joking about Brexit. Too soon and hurtful, Dan. Totally not cool

I mean Dan's the guy that said life is a lot easier if you don't care about politics. Probably not worth paying any attention to him when he's blatantly trolling.
You do know that the state of Britain and EU in general have a bigger effect economically and socially than those other countries, right?
China, Russia and N. Korea are all red hearings/conspiracy theories, while the stock market around the world is tanking (unless you are buying Yen)

It's more that he's done the "everyone is talking about ____ and I don't know shit about it lol" bit multiple times already. it's a tired goof.
Fair enough.
But I feel the whole Political stance with those countries haven't even made a slight impact, and all we hear is just rumors and meek reports.
Please...US news cover Chinese and Russian politics now? That would be new.
There's also a lot more to it...nationalism in Europe on the rise, trade, NATO. All part of it. No one can tell me this isn't worth covering.
And I'm not from the UK btw.

Dear Dan.
Sometimes the "goofy lovable ignorance" act just comes across as straight up ignorance.

I don't understand why y'all are getting salty at Dan. He's not making fun of it, he's not saying it doesn't matter, he's saying he doesn't understand what it is. He posts as much to Twitter, which is a platform you choose to follow him on, and he catches shit for it. Hell, I didn't know anything about it until I watched the John Oliver segment on it last night, and I still don't entirely understand why specifically it's such a significant thing. The conservative party in England wants to make harsher immigration restrictions so they're leaving the EU? And this consequently is making the pound plummet in value, which fucks up the global economy? The only reason I even know the EU is a thing is from French class in high school and, like Dan, the extent of my knowledge of what they did is introduce the Euro and make travelling and trading between countries easier. The average American probably doesn't even know that much, because we don't really have a lot of reasons to.
I don't wanna listen to Austin's last Beastcast. I feel like if I ignore it, he'll stay at GB.

Dan has trolled people multiple times on Twitter in a very similar way.
His first tweet was basically "lol why is you people mad becoz of a funny word" and then he went back to the well when he got bad reaction/people explaining why the situation is fucked up.
It was also about half an hour after it all happened and people were still processing.
It's not a big deal in the grand scheme but let's not pretend it wasn't childish and completely lame.
Exactly. Most Americans couldn't tell you the difference between Congress and Senate, you expect them to know shit about Europe?

My news organization is whatever news related stuff creeps through all the smut subreddits I'm subscribed to on reddit. That's how I first heard about this UK stuff.
Absolutely disgusting
I was a big fan of him and Colbert, too...
Colbert sucks now, but atleast there's John Oliver and Samantha Bee. Oliver's latest piece was about "Brexit" by the way.
I also really enjoy Samantha Bee's new show. Just watch the segments on the Libertarian party and Gary Johnson:

Watching an old random mailbag (the one where Brad photobombs Jeff).
Brad is watching the Apple keynote in the background and freaking out over the fact that Pandora is now ""multi-task aware". Man... I forgot how you used to not be able to listen to music while doing other thing on a phone...

It'll be two years once they enact the "leave" law, minimum. But there are leaders calling to hold off that enactment. IIRC.
The only reason I know anything about this shit is because I watch/listen to BBC and Al Jazeera for my news, I haven't heard of any other coverage which is kind of a terrifying prospect. It's going to be a wild and wacky week for the economy.
Over Dan blocking me? Given that happened late last night and they usually record earlier in the week, I don't see how that's possible. Did they record this morning instead?
