Coming to you early like I normally do for the local subscribers. But I've got a big internet problem today and I can't run multiple screens. So today I'm using the Rumble Studio to come in on four different platforms. I'm coming in on Locals, Rumble, X, and YouTube at the same time.

Now I've never done this. The comments are going to be about 16 seconds delayed, and this will be the first time we've mixed the Locals comments with the other comments. But this might be a preview of things to come. So this is not the show. This is the pre-show, which normally only the local subscribers see.

If you'd like to see what happens five minutes before the actual show, you came to the right place. Because usually all I'm doing is adjusting my lighting and printing my notes. So if you want to hang out and chat with each other while I do that, that's what this is for.

I'm not going to do anything provocative because this is all the platforms. If this were just the subscribers on Locals you might get some extra stuff today, but we'll keep it generic and make everybody happy.

Now on this platform, unless there's an option which I don't see, I only see your oldest comments first. So if you want new ones, scroll to the bottom. Oh, it looks like they fixed that. They may have fixed the comment scroll since just two days ago when I mentioned it. Well that's pretty fast.

If you haven't, let my people go. I won't have time to check that. Yeah, don't expect that I'm going to be able to check any links that you send me during the chat. Yeah, no, no, I was wrong. The chat's broken. Or maybe if I keep my cursor... Oh, I just found out an interesting bug. I think if I float my cursor over the comments... Oh no, that's not it.

It looks like sometimes they scroll and sometimes they just don't. So it looks like a bug. All right, so the real show starts at the top of the hour. This is a special behind-the-scenes look at the pre-show where I adjust my lighting.

Right now I'm coming to you by 5G on my phone, which suggests I should probably plug it in. Yeah, I've got at least an hour on the phone. That should be fine. All right, let me turn off the alert. All right, we're in good shape. We've got a strong 5G signal, which is very rare.

Do any of you have this issue where when your regular internet goes out, your phone 5G goes out at the same time? Am I the only person who experiences that on a regular basis? Can't tell because I can't see any comments. Oh, I remember when comments were something that was useful.

So the Rumble people have a challenge, which is to fix the comments. Otherwise my business model falls apart because the live interaction is really the heart of the show, which we don't have in this model. In order for me to see a comment I have to physically reach up and scroll it every time.

So I can't do the thing anymore where I'm just doing the show, then I see a comment and I incorporate that. It just won't work in this model. So the technology isn't where we need it to be. But Rumble's working on it. They have all my feedback and they've been very responsive in the past, so I do expect them to take a good swing at fixing it. I just don't know if it's technically possible.

Can I see Locals comments? Yeah, I can see Crawley. I can see you asking the question. And they show up differently. Let's see if I can show you what it looks like. See if this works. Let's see, reverse this. God, this is annoying that everything's backwards. Why can't I do that right? Everything's like backwards twice.

So why can't I do this? This is weird. I have to hold it up to the opposite of where it is. Okay, oh this is so hard. Like you have to think backwards twice or something in order t
