The Echo Chamber | GTA 5 Online Playlist

[@reyals474]

To be fair, vegetable bombs are all the rage these days. They're practically growing on trees... Wait a minute

[@BurningToast22]

veggie trees :D

[@ichimaxify]

those are fruit bombs! vegetables don't grow on trees.

[@ShiftyNimbus]

Vegetables grow in the ground! Angry face.

[@especiallyleavish]

Max Nijenhuis they can, the term fruit and vegetable aren't exclusive, they can be both

[@Jstarfully]

swamp cabbages are the insides of palmetto trees, that's a vegetable. also some people call plantains vegetables. plus avocados are vegetables, right? And tomatoes kinda grow on tiny trees lol

[@feelsbradman6793]

I like these talking episodes, you guys should do a thing where you chat with each other... perhaps call it 'Hat Chat.'

[@repa9132]

That sounds like a great idea, but what if they also did this 'Hat Chat' whilst recording game-play? I've heard that a new game called 'G-T-A-5' (weird name right?) is pretty good, could they record this? Read more

[@gabrielrej834]

If you are a long term fan that remembers Hat Chat, then you also must be aware that HatFilms have the best conversations while they are occupied by something else...like...idk...racing in GTA V or idk...racing in Trails. I agree that everybody here WANTS.MORE.CONTENT.FOR.FUCKS.SAKE, but for fucks sake, we already have a better substitution for HatChat

[@Jacksteroonie]

Just gotta say lads, I bloody love your super serious, controversial, but also hilarious chats. Please never change.

[@zeno212]

Honestly, these discussions of politics and social issues are probably my favourite type of videos from you guys. I haven't really looked, but I never saw a channel tackle the more controversial and maybe difficult topics so openly, rationally and with a healthy dose of humour. And I absolutely love how invested Smith gets during these discussions, you can see that he is passionate and interested in the stuff he talks about. Great video, lads!

[@Anjy93]

Sometimes y'all say stuff I don't agree with, and sometimes y'all say stuff I've never even heard about before. Whether or not I agree with you on every topic I love to hear you discuss them. There are very few topics where I'm like "I dont wanna hear this" and in those cases skip ahead until you're onto something different or I just click off that particular video and watch another. I know people get uppity and crap but y'all are human and I'm glad to hear you talk about serious stuff now and again, especially since if I disagree at least I can hear people talk about a different view point from my own.

[@paradoxlaboratories8005]

Well said my friend. Conversation and debate fuels progress.

[@georgebowyer5170]

^ this

[@musiclover70011]

well, trott is a fish, but i agree with the main point

[@ImplodingHaze]

Same here, don't agree with half the things they say but I still like watching

[@carl9714]

they're mild as hell. what could you possibly disagree with?!

[@guppo26]

Just wanted to say that I absolutely love the more deep discussions every now and then. You guys have some well argumented views on some topics. Even if you're sometimes not as well informed on them, just clarifying that you aren't well-informed is good enough, it shouldn't necessarily stop all discussion.

[@kristopherginder6212]

5 minutes in and already losing my mind over Ross ignoring all the boost pickups, lol

[@Arrdeegee]

Kris Ginder this is the real issue of this video

[@kazumrah8944]

Wait theres video for these podcasts?

[@SupremeCannon]

Never be afraid to speak your mind guys!

[@lunahula]

This tooowwwnnn, is becoming like a goat town.

[@rammo2k]

hat films has always been goat town

[@luigiff3431]

15:18 Trott just used his pre-cog abilities

[@NoRubiTV]

It's videos like these that have kept me watching Hat Films for all these years. Unfiltered opinions about topics that nobody wants to talk about are hard to find these days, and these videos always provide that.

[@tivion3760]

"topics that nobody wants to talk about are hard to find these days" where exactly are you looking that you cant find political videos. I for one would like to have less politics in a vid I just want to relax and enjoy.

[@jacobmadsen8662]

Tivion why should you decide what Hat Films are talking about? I thought free speech was a thing.

[@tivion3760]

when did i try to tell them what they are allowed to talk about? i just stated that i personally dont like politics in a video im watching for enjoyment, thats an opinion... ya know... free speech

[@jacobmadsen8662]

Tivion and I guess they enjoy talking about politics?

[@tivion3760]

ok and i don't like listening to politics, im not trying to tell them what to do or anything but the comments are made to give feedback. its not like they need to listen to anything i say and ill still watch anything they make so there's no reason to make a big deal out of me stating an opinion

[@noisebox9529]

I love the commentary never stop talking about important things. You guys are half gaming show half talk show and it's awesome.

[@vaygor2956]

I don't get why people complain about when Hat Films go into politics. I've disagreed with some things they've said, I've agreed with other things. But just ignoring their views does no good. The fact that for years people have buried their heads in a sand when politics is brought up is the reason why people have become disillusioned with politics and caused the sudden outburst of unpredictable politics. It's a conversation that needs to stop being taboo. If you love Trump because he's created jobs, or whether you hate Trump for pulling out the Paris Climate Accord--it doesn't matter. They're your views and you should allow people to challenge them, and make you think about it from time to time.

[@sketchesofpayne]

The issue is we go, "Damn, sick of all this political crap. Time to unwind and watch some Hat Films." Then Hat Films starts talking politics. "Fuuuuuuu...."

[@callumrobinson33]

so unwind elsewhere?

[@sangelititan1171]

Well, I guess if Smithy goes missing one day out of random, we know what happened to him.

[@lunahula]

Wanked himself to death and this time the ambulance didn't get to him in time?

[@sangelititan1171]

That's exactly what the Russians want you to think.

[@nekhumonta]

He's pissing in a playground?

[@speedstrn]

He ate an unexploded courgette?

[@33gles]

Well, he won't suicide himself in the back of the head at least. That only happens to Clinton enemies. lol.

[@Ethan-tb2in]

Be me wondering tf a courgette is and then finding that’s what Brit’s call a zucchini

[@FatmanRico2011]

same man

[@Sensiav703]

Here's another doozy for ya: Here in the UK, we call cilantro "coriander." =P

[@chrisd3830]

So i'm Australian, We have Zucchini over Courgette, but we have Coriander over Cilantro.

[@jonsampson993]

Yep same

[@ScattergunBlue]

They might be talking about aubergines next, keep a search tab open at all times.

[@kameo393]

There is nothing a enjoy more on KZbin than to listen to you guys actually talking your mind. I love when you get controversial, and it always gets me thinking. Keep up the great work guys, it’s enlightening and enjoyable

[@Jnoble8739]

I’d like to have Smiffy drop in on Tri Force Podcast sometime, I enjoy when he dives into these things quite a lot

[@grimheed]

nice work lads! not shying away from uncomfortable or difficult conversations and unashamedly presenting your opinions in a rational and understandable way. well done. many respects. Not saying smiffy ISN'T a raving madman sometimes, but he is the sort of person you would enjoy having at a dinner party.

[@Lauren-wb6qv]

Just to clarify which I hope Smith doesn't realise. Spacey's initial accusation was that it was towards a 14 year old boy when he was 27. Drunk or not, one off mistake or not - that is a child. Sometimes celebrities are scrutinised far worse than they should be because of their status, but that was probably a poor and not very well informed example.

[@kidneyredux4167]

To be fair, Smith clarified that he was misinformed and playing devil's advocate

[@Lauren-wb6qv]

I honestly get that but if he knows the age then there are better ways to play devils advocate than using a point about a child being molested. If he didn't then it shows how dangerous it can be using misinformation as it once again, technically, makes light of child molestation

[@howlsy]

I think his point was fair though, even if his example was rather poor. I don't think Smith did know the age from the sounds of it either. And also, Shogun_ Speaks has a point as well.

[@Lauren-wb6qv]

Oh I agree with the point he made but sometimes people latch on to the examples and use it themselves which is why I wanted to clarify Also I totally agree as well with accusations are just that. My point isnt whether it is true or not it was how the accusation is percieved and dealt with. Some celebs are overly scruitinised over accusations which every day people could just pass off. However when it involves potential sexual advances towards a child then it should be fully investigated as with any other person. Oh and molestation: "to make annoying sexual advances to; especially :to force physical and usually sexual contact on" - Spacey was accused of lying on top of Rapp which I would consider as forced physical contact (however I realise this could be down to personal perception to a certain degree)

[@garethjones6082]

what was a 14 year old doing at a celebrity party?

[@ryangumble2699]

Proud of you guys for talking about these issues! Thank you for bringing more awareness to all of it, and having a laugh too.

[@theunheardvoice007]

Rapist are not inherently guilty and rape accusers are not inherently liars. The courts should solve these issues. Innocent until proven guilty, maybe? If someone callers me a murderer that does not make me a murderer.

[@Sensiav703]

The key difference between murder and rape, however, is its provability. You can always say with a high degree of certainty that a murder took place, you can't necessarily say the same in a case of rape unless it's reported and documented as immediately after the incident as possible. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen often in legitimate cases of rape and convictions happen predominantly on testimony alone, which isn't exactly the most reliable form of evidence.

[@Cr109ify]

I love Smith heavy episodes like this. He brings up such divisive and interesting topics and approaches it so fairly and logically.

[@adriansanada3549]

Chris Rogers That's the exact opposite of how he does it. He approaches it with his preconceived views and states his opinions as facts with no data backing it up

[@Crimsonpattyletsplay]

I agree with smith on this one that if you have done a bad thing the way you handle it should correspond too the actions taken after, it seems celebrities have massively huge disadvantages when it comes to paying for a crime they did. abit like the manager for the womans football team that made a joke and lost his job and is getting just huge media backlash... and will never really be able to get over it.

[@man111395]

The flip side of this is that they also get out of crimes easier due to their status and influence. That is why all these accusations are coming out at the same time, because there is safety in numbers.

[@meganduncanson16]

All these random chats are what make you guys my favourite youtubers, its just so enjoyable watching youre videos

[@BeezinBeezus]

Would love to talk about it, but youtube comments is the worst place for it.

[@sheepforges1748]

You're WRONG! YOU TAKE THAT BACK!

[@TheSandvichTrials]

Ever since dislikes became nonfunctional the youtube comments section has just been the worst of all worlds. It pretty much guarantees that opposing vocal minorities start fighting each other.

[@maxwelljohnson6185]

Too true. Have you ever made the mistake of looking at the comment section of one of the yogs CIV V videos? My god its terrible...

[@Sorbus_aucuparia]

you could try the HatFilms subreddit?

[@magerr98]

I love these GTA videos. So insightful, and the willingness to talk about things that everyone else is too afraid to talk about is amazing. Love you guys

[@susanterris8987]

Fuckin love the more serious style of content boys keep up the good work !! :)

[@_SneaRo]

man I love how reflective you guys are. top notch talks, even though a as reasonable counter would really be great, too!

[@derredc]

a 30 minute episode? Aldonero must've made a hell of a map for this

[@PluralPaul]

And that's when we realised they increased the lap amount to have more time to discuss a topic (I'm assuming, which might make an ass out of you and me).

[@eagames456]

With content like this (love it btw) I do have to wonder about the audience. If people who would otherwise never have thought about this stuff, or don't usually care about the outside world actually watch this, you guys are making the world a better place. Just the fact that your content makes people think instead of shouting bullshit on the internet really makes a difference.

[@HistoryMatters]

I think a lot of the stuff about Russia here is a mischaracterisation. Undoubtedly Russia wanted Trump in the White House since Hillary wasn't in their interests. I don't necessarily think it's fair to say that a foreign country preferring a candidate is somehow a smear on that candidate. Take the UK as an example. There were foreign powers who wanted Theresa May and others who wanted Jeremy Corbyn to win the previous election. Due to the Corbyn's long-standing position on the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia would have preferred May. Does that mean that voting for May was somehow doing the Saudi's or the Israeli's bidding? A bit of a stretch to say yes, I would argue.

[@alphaprawns]

I see what you're getting at, but Russia has a very long and storied history of utilising propaganda and misinformation, there is definitely precedent for it. We will have to wait and see what happens with the investigation currently ongoing though of course

[@Drazerblade]

Exactly. The argument is total bullshit. Obama publicly endorsed Macron in the French election. The US was anti brexit. The west constantly claims Assad is a dictator and should be ousted. The west constantly opposes Putin and is pro opposition. All countries have their politcal preferences for things that are positive to them.

[@tenebrisevernight]

True, just because a foreign government wants a particular candidate to win doesn't automatically put up red flags. But, when that foreign government is, as Russia is to the U.S., not only a historical enemy but has(I haven't confirmed this) such a shady leader such as Putin, and is the birthplace and historical practitioner of a social stucture that your government has opposed, like Communism. When the candidate is not only supported by, but has connections to that foreign government, surrounds himself with people who also have connections to that foreign government. Then yes, the support of that foreign government should send up red flags.

[@MrPapamilhas]

One thing is to endorse another political view or to support that person.That´s okey. The problem here is that Russia, not saying other's don't do it, made propanganda and misinformation to make sure they got what they wanted. We can support another point of view but you can´t simply change what people think on a country that's not your's so you get what you want. Even making this type of propaganda in your country is something wrong. Saying that if you vote on them we will lose jobs or thousands of refuges will invade or that. That's psychological warfare and is controling people by what makes them afraid, we saw that happening in Brexit, we saw and still see with Trump. We will probably see it more. And that is not freedom or democracy.

[@tenebrisevernight]

the fact that a foreign government endorsed a presidential candidate isn't the issue, the issue is who that foreign government was and the fact that the candidate, now president, lied about it.

[@Justsomebiggerman2]

These are BY FAR my favourite videos to watch. i really love it when you talk about grown up stuff with grown up and thought provoking thoughts, dont get me wrong your manic screaming is fun 2 sometimes, but this is just an A+++++ for me! i just can´t get enough of ross when he is actually showing his intelectual side.

[@willattaway]

i love smiffy, we think so alike

[@dosburninator1]

Thanks for the insightful discussion. Perfect blend of what the fucks and talking about serious topics, I like getting these every now and then. Good on ya Lads.

[@Crimsonpattyletsplay]

I can alredy tell this will be a good one. PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE ANGRY POLITICICAL RANTS! RAWRRRR

[@alphaprawns]

It's mostly butthurt Trump voters coming out of the woodwork. Kind of disheartening that so many of them seem to follow the Hats.

[@Crimsonpattyletsplay]

The title alone told me the trumpers would be coming out xD

[@KaaxItzam]

I think it is rather unfair of you to say that someone doesn't deserve to watch public videos purely based on their political views. It contributes to the rising tribalism that the modern political world seems to be plagued with. They are people after all, and they voted for what they wanted; what is the point of democracy if we don't try to find any common ground.

[@Random95Matey]

alphaprawns Well trump won the election, so the only butthurt ones are you and the other mob

[@Random95Matey]

And no I’m not a Trump supporter.

[@jessicabevan4657]

The episodes with this sort of discussion are by far the best ones, this episode is probably my favorite one ever because of it.

[@H19Enduro]

Love these topical videos

[@bebw1999]

This kind of GTA episode is the absolute best, these discussions are so thought provoking and engaging

[@Jengo-Fox]

I think trot hit the nail on the head with the whole echo chamber thing, I think getting another person in who doesn't agree on everything would make this come off a bit better

[@sevearka]

Great that you talk about these things. No matter what you say it still makes your audience think about the issue, which is fantastic!

[@gregorywhatley9659]

It really says something about the education system when my only source of political awareness I've ever gotten from my childhood up until even now comes from HatFilms. Politics should really be taught in schools so I have a vested interest later in my life. You guys are my main source of political information about what's going on in the world today

[@ATchouMeuMeu]

Gregory Whatley Democracy relies on the vote of the uneducated masses, so you wont see politics in school. Instead you will get dull, irrelevant, out of touch subjects, that will produce citizens with those same qualities.

[@adriansanada3549]

Arthur Kader What do you propose as an alternative?

[@tuxisacomrade6596]

Adrian Sanada Better education system.

[@gregorywhatley9659]

amen to that

[@theformalmooshroom9147]

+Gregory Whatley Teaching politics in schools would be rather difficult, well if you wanted to do it properly. Not only because most children or teenagers wouldn't give a f**k. Though yes it is a good idea it would need to be unbiased so as to not just have everyone spout the views of their teacher, which are generally biased towards the left. People would need to be taught the merits and demerits of every side probably through debates to get them involved.

[@mekempsy]

Love this kind of stuff from you guys, it's really amazing to hear a different perspective to common issues that's featured as light entertainment. People don't do this enough and I like hearing your debates. Awesome!!

[@jacobhall7158]

enjoyed the discussion in this ep!

[@UnrealWarlordChannel]

This was an incredible discussion, I hope you illustrate more issues like these in future videos.

[@random7009877]

These videos are the kind of videos I love to watch from these guys, just interesting opinions that are discussed without a filter. Its very refreshing!

[@SamdGG]

15:18

[@FinalCurta1n]

Best video for a while!

[@isthisnamegood]

I find it really interesting that Smith identifies as conservative (in another video) but his views don't line up AT ALL with that. I think far to many people pick a political team and willfully or not don't actually look into the policies of that team...and it sort of becomes like a sports team for them. They feel the need to be loyal to them from then on. It is so important to actually look into a political parties policies and understand them.

[@maartenoudejans6671]

Seeing how much Smith is into these subjects, I doubt he just votes for whoever says they're conservative. He'll probably look into their campaign more.

[@alphaprawns]

Well I think political views are generally far more complex than a single identifying term can really allow for. I mean just as an example you can be socially conservative and economically liberal, or vice versa, or any number of other complex viewpoints

[@karlseaton57]

Maarten Oudejans, I don't know if you're young or just as uninformed as Smith, but he very, very clearly does not look into these issues properly. I couldn't imagine he would ever go further than three paragraphs into a news article from The Guardian before deciding Trump is a racist, Russia loving nazi.

[@jacklebouthillier6475]

Conservative on a global scale is different from the US political parties.

[@Fredreegz]

I dunno what side of the pond you're from, but I think you have to remember that US politics and UK politics are slightly different, with different factions at play, discussing similar but different values and issues. The US Republicans are much more rightwing than the UK Conservatives, and UK Labour is much more leftwing than the US Democrats. Honestly, I'd say the Democrats are more comparable to the Conservatives - with the exception of Bernie Sandlers. What's conservative by British standards might be seen as quite leftwing by American standards.

[@thedrako27]

Really enjoyed the conversation today lads. Thanks, Smith nailed it

[@newellboy2]

To be fair America has been influencing other country's affairs for decades

[@WarjoyHeir]

[@lightninglord5183]

[@iamaguineapig]

Every time Smith goes "too far" I realize how incredibly similar our views are.

[@michaelkeys92]

Really enjoy listening to these chats!

[@Beadlayer69]

*did you tippex yours out ;)*

[@lottiepierce8062]

I have conversations like this with my family around the Sunday dinner table. I do share your viewpoint a lot of the time about this stuff, especially with media related things when Harry Bosco is used, changing words slightly in the media to sway the public's opinion. So yeah, I really enjoy listening to this sort of thing and I hope you do it again. It's good to hear what other people think so we can be more open minded.

[@jasonschuler2256]

About the coal jobs: what people don't seem to realize is that the vast majority of coal jobs are being lost to automation, not renewable energy. So no matter what Trump or other conservatives promise, they can't bring those jobs back. They can't uninvent the robots that replaced thousands of miners. About the Russian Ads: they weren't simply running pro-Trump propaganda. They were also doing things like sending Black Lives Matter ads to very conservative areas. It seems the goal was to be as decisive as possible.

[@captianfai1s]

Your guys aproach to things is perfect, you dont instantly have a preempted outlook onsomething before nor do you look at it like its black and white. Yous look at the whole picture and deeper into it than just on the surface

[@TheKingOfTheHaters]

The coal laws that were removed were both excessive and unconstitutional, as in the senate denied so the epa used a past bill that had nothing to do with coal to completely circumvent the process. Prior to those laws going in coal was already scrubbed and had to go through clean air processes to the point where they arent that damaging. The most recent clean energy bills (the ones that were recently removed) made it so coal had to meat certain unreasonable standards regardless of cleaning process out of the ground. Literally made coal unviable without any meaningful impact to the environment

Omg you should bring back Hat Chat! It’s great to hear your deeper conversations when you’re not distracted by games

[@alfies98]

I wouldn't class it as ignorance, I agree with smiths mum. Most of the news is crap, i will have a general browse once every so often. But people spend too long worrying about other peoples issues.

[@KaaxItzam]

Perhaps, but when one lives in a democracy, one should learn about what one is voting for (or not voting at all). Obsession is bad, but listening to the political landscape is wise (it is also wise to be sceptical of news in general too).

[@alfies98]

Political is different, but people who just sit there commenting on all aspects of news are just a waste. I wish we didnt have democracy. I want my own little Supreme leader.

[@KaaxItzam]

Ah, it's good to see a fellow secret Monarchist. I do like democracy and I respect the comfort it gives people, but it can be so slow and vulgar. There's no poetry in democracy either in my opinion. And yes, I can see your point, however it should be noted is still their choice to be a 'waste'.

[@bopeeplauerent676]

mainstream medias sole purpose is to keep the masses in a constant flux of hysteria so that we are easy to control there is a plethora of people out there who's happiness is dictated by what happens on the news bomb goes off the world is fucked starving children in Africa are fed and now things are looking up again this is a problem I don't watch the news because realistically you don't need to know about all the people who died today ideally if there is a threat in your area that is when the news would be ACTUALLY useful.

[@lewis6590]

People always justify news by voting. You vote once every 4 years or so. And yet people think sitting there getting butthurt about random issues every day is what constitutes 'being informed'. You're reading somebody else's opinions on a dramatic situation for entertainment, stop acting like it's an enlightened pursuit.

Meh, we (The British) have been influencing elections for ages. It isn't exactly a new concept. Everyone does it.

Nope, I'm just saying that it's more common than you think. For all we know a country may have funded Hillary's campaign to suit their agenda.

[@bigwillyj9318]

What foreign elections has Britain influenced? I'd be interested to read your sources for that claim

[@grandmaster5786]

Smith, I disagree with your idea that celebrity makes it harder to escape scrutiny. People still love Chris Brown's music, lots of famous people have been known paedophiles for years without significant career consequences

[@ollywhite4333]

Jupiter Frerer I think there’s two sides to it, some celebs would get ridiculed for it for the rest of their life however other celebs, just because of their name and their status, their acts would be overlooked because people don’t want to believe that they would do such a thing.

[@MrSpannners]

Jupiter Frerer yeah but again that is separating a person's art from the person. Like I like Micheal Jackson's music, but I don't like the guy.

Uhhh, did you mean Lostprophets? Ian Watkins was convicted of sexual assault on children. Stereophonics, however, are very much still a thing, and Kelly Jones is very much still their lead singer ( and I'm fairly confident not a paedophile, though I've never met the man).

Guys, i absolutely LOVE these hat-chat style videos. But going through the comments, it seems like a lot of people dislike this style of content so maybe.. a little tip if you can call it that.. Put this on HatFilmsExtra? Most of us that are into this probably also follow your HatFilmsExtra channel actively. Hence why. I, personally, dont care. But I havent seen a video of you guys hit this amount of dislikes since LONG. Basically i'm worried the backlash will be to harsh lol. If you guys dont care then that's fine :) i'll stick with you guys no matter what :D

Hatfilms content: 50% homoerotic sexually depraved banter with the occasional freestyle, 50% civil/intellectual discussions of all the big topics. Keep it up, lads!

Smith's on the celeb side of things because he wants people to chill out about casual molestation

[@redxephos3919]

His snatching is gonna catch up to him

reyals474 Jesus he's going down a slippery slope.

[@theunheardvoice007]

Love trumps hate. Let people love who they want, they did not chose who to be born that way. Also, innocent until proven guilt? The public keeps deciding guild before the courts. Just because there are accusations does not make them true. If I said, Smith molested me, that does not mean he did. I also think victims could be telling the truth, but it is not up to me, it is up to the jury.

These GTA Playlist videos are falling into a near-perfect format. So entertaining.

TIL that in England they call zucchini a courgette.

[@Corvanas99]

I gave a big sigh once I realized this video wasn’t going to be what I was hoping for (the usual gta banter), yet I still respect most of what you all said. I often turn to you all to get away from the crap in our world and to be happy lol, but I’m not gonna control your content because beggars can’t be choosers and you never disappoint XD

I've never actually realized just how many people are terribly racist towards america

[@tuxisacomrade6596]

America is a nation, not a race of people.
