[@FearAndPodcast]

Hey everyone, just wanted to apologize for the scuffed audio on this one. For context, adding in a 5th mic for Ludwig introduced a bit of echo and messed up the audio a bit. So we had an audio engineer and an editor try to clean up and cut around the worst of it. Luckily the e majority of the bad audio is only within the first 9 minutes or so. Definitely a learning lesson for us on the production side. Hopefully you all still enjoy today's episode. -Marche

Xqc could get away with saying anything

[@ViennaDarlingvd]

I think he is a massive contrarian - whatever you say he has to disagree with or qualify in some way.

[@charlesm.2604]

I think you all under-estimate the number of people who genuinely disagree with the motto. It doesn't work that way, just because you treat people a certain way doesn't mean they'll treat you any different. People have their own personalities and ways to engage with others. When you do treat people good you have an expectation that they will receplicate but you don't suddenly become entitled to a "better" treatment. xQc is a perfect example. Doesn't mean you should treat people badly by the way, you shouldn't, it just means you need to accept people will act how they want no matter how good you treat them.

[@asyzruffz]

I disagree with the phrase too. I cannot treat others how I want to be treated because not everybody is the same. For example if someone is a vegan, he should not treat everybody to be a vegan. Besides, I might like to be early to attend to somewhere but somebody else might not like that. He might be unprepared if somebody come too early everything has not been set up properly. A lot of examples where the "treat others how you want to be treated" make no sense.

I’ve always known Will to be so well spoken, but this episode has really shown how mature and respectable he is. Truly even Hasan had a lot of patience. I went in thinking this might be a screaming match so glad it went well. Obvi X has a lot space to grow and I doubt he even really understands his own impact and how his beliefs impact his viewers, but he’s a grown man so that’s his own problem. Good episode boys. Also, Lud was X’s saving grace and a good juicer translator.

Meh, québécois and france french are different (I wouldn’t say it’s extremely different, it’s moreso an accent thing first like brit vs us and vocabulary/colloquialism second) but we have a lot of exposure to eachother that it wouldn’t be that entertaining in my opinion. A lot of the subtlety gets lost on non-native speakers as well, like inside jokes that simply don’t translate well. Though Lud would probably have more issues understanding felix due to both québécois french being less known and felix way of expressing himself lol in Quebec we do have a lot of french expats and france media like movies/tv shows so it makes it easier for us to be aware of french lingo although some stuff can always still be obscure especially coming from more rural regions.

Should have called this episode "FEAR&WINE ABOUT IT' (because audio issues KEKW)

Too bad wine about it is probably dead now

I love listening to group therapy sessions

[@Darnedestthing]

Will is such a good interviewer,, mind boggling

[@thechin5523]

"That bridge is so burnt, I don't even want to see the fire burning", felt that personally, as I've been there and done that. It's a shitty feeling

[@jacobsharp7713]

xqc not agreeing with the golden rule is hilarious

[@paulpaul1429]

This was lowkey a free therapy session

[@Sleeepy.]

I mean this in the best way possible; Karl Jacobs feels like such a self insert of chat whenever he appears on a podcast

[@Zozo_Rabbit]

i mean audio aside it's like fear&therapy tbh

[@spritelass6712]

I've had to deal with toxic relationships in my work place before. Walking that line of maintaining a working relationship and not letting the negativity overtake you is so exhausting. It even worse if the other person has a higher authority. I couldn't be around someone that had no problem with bringing everyone down on my head for something they didn't even believe to be true. I'd have to put up super high walls to just function.

[@eekeey]

Omg I'm dealing with that right now. It's emotionally exhausting.

[@BoardWalkToke]

He is a liability and they know it. Trying to do damage control since they can still make money off of him. The way xQc behaves would have blacklisted him if it was a slightly less popular streamer.

[@oran785]

@@BoardWalkToke xqc has done this before he was on top. Didn’t you listen to the podcast

[@BoardWalkToke]

​@@oran785 I watched xQc in the past before he was "on top". No one collabed with him as much until he got more popular. He also has gotten worse because of the slap on the wrists he gets everytime he does something like this. His most recent "drama" was weaponizing SA and said Maya covered up SA when there was never any evidence of this at all.

[@Haldered]

@@BoardWalkToke thats not true, Maya was definitely in the wrong. The problem was him going after Hasan and Poki when they had literally no idea what was going on, basically being a content goblin over an actual SA. (although at least he recognises that hes being a content goblin unlike Train)

[@pikaresque]

Listening to the echo with headphones that only work on the left side is melting my brain holy shit Great content tho

[@floofff]

Will would genuinely make a remarkable psychologist or counselor if he ever decides to change careers in the future. Just some observation. 💗

[@Dextline]

I'm still a little sad xqc neither apologized, nor even really acknowledged Will's hurt feelings in the beginning of the podcast.

[@floofff]

@@Dextline Agreed. Will appears to be the most emotionally intelligent one in this conversation.

[@utkarsh1874]

@@Dextline will was hurt on behalf of qt ? did you see what qt tweeted days after calling xqc and his community misogynist .... these leeches like qt and hasan will always care about clout if xqc didnt have enough viewers they would not even invite him get a reality check

[@wasimmohammed5501]

Hasan and Will are grown up adults you can tell that by how they conduct themselves in these situations

[@blutoo1363]

Will, YES. Hasan, Not so much. Hasan still lets his mald slip through in his sentences. Maybe it just seems that way here because Will had a much smaller stake in this, but still that is what it looks like.

[@blackpilleddadli]

​@@blutoo1363 I love how you provided yourself the answer as to why Hasan would obviously be more emotionally invested than Will and then immediately brushed it aside. Hasan acted like any normal adult human being who has a friend that treats him like shit.

[@blutoo1363]

@@blackpilleddadli so if not being mald is not a sign of being an adult then what even is your point. You're clearly only replying to what I said wihout looking at the original comment. If anything xqc was the least salty out of anyone if we limit the scope of context to this video only.

[@blackpilleddadli]

@@blutoo1363 The point is that hasan being understandably upset is not an argument against the fact that he acted like an adult. He was so much more reserved and amicable than he should be, actually.

[@vVAstrAVv]

@@blutoo1363 brother hasans patience here has been fucking angelic. X insinuated he knew about an sa coverup in front of the world and it was the easiest thing in the world to disprove. If any of my friends-no if any of my FAMILY did that to me and i had hasans money. Noone would ever hear from them again before that week was done. Its unforgivable

[@wyngaaard]

This is a crossover we need, but not the one we deserve.

[@hans9725]

great episode. even with the scuffed audio

[@naazrael]

Need another mic stand for times when there are unexpected guests haha

[@collinpastore4386]

Gotta be honest, the vibes were weird on this one. Really felt like this should have been a private convo between Hasan, lud, and X.

[@brooke6198]

Can't believe we didn't address the real drama here. Ludwig IS NOT gonna roast Wills Draco Malfoy haircut then turn up the next fuckin week with the same damn thing

the fked up audio makes the beginning so much funnier LOOOOOOOOOOL
