this week after five long months I can finally tell you why I Disappeared for a week and I mean you probably already seen But now that the first episode is officially out I can tell you all about it and why I was actually not even supposed to be on here I mean I literally signed the contract like 2 days before I left to go and do this oh and because we had to sacrifice rapid fire news last week and I promised to make it up to you I hope you are bloody r ready because Alex and I are about to serenade you with this sweet sound of machine guns explosions and hot fire which comes in the form of high quality news that you can trust deadly tornadoes in the US record-breaking protests in Serbia Elon Musk having the worst week ever young Philly and Diddy both officially pleading not guilty oh yeah it is going to be a juicy one so I think it's time to bring it back stop the app and let's get cor okay so as you all know 5 months ago I had to leave YouTube for a week and today let me tell you where I went and to be fair some of your guys's guesses I dare I say good which is ridiculous I mean most of you fair enough expected North Korea for anyone confused he's going on his trip to North Korea well you you know that's not true for anyone confused he's meeting a girl in usbekistan only OG's will know that one I go to usbekistan or stay here many said Mr Beast videos others said he's going on I'm a celebrity and others said freaking Diddy party and that Daily Mail would never you [ __ ] but the truth is the news daddy Empire left the cold freezing actually we have molden here now molded garage and is now coming to you worldwide excluding North Korea on Netflix 2025 hey just got even crazier I actually went to the premiere for this whole special screening last night which was freaking wild I mean we I got back at like me and Ellie got back at like 3:00 a.m. because the train from London to get back to where I live 3 hours and it was at midnight God damn it but I'm still here to give you the rapid fire news and you know the whole situation was pretty crazy because you know I've been to a couple premieres here and there but I've never been to one as the cast for the thing that we're about to watch and never did I really think that I would see myself on a cinema screen with a whole crowd like reacting in real time to the [ __ ] that we're watching weird experience but freaking fun and you know I'm going to be completely honest with you guys I really didn't know what how how I was feeling about you know watching the first episode because for context right you kind of need context for this I get a call to two weeks right two weeks before this was about to start shooting and at that point you know like it wasn't even confirmed to be on like Netflix and all of that all I was working off at the time was you know the first season and the fact that it was a reality show made by the Sidman and look you know I respect the hell out of the sidan and what they've done you know for the Creator space in general and infinitely grateful for the opportunity that they were offering me but it's IR reality show right it's a reality show may I say more need I say more and I know you know we have a lot of fun on here and yes we get a bit carried away with the whipping and Alex you know with the editing hot fire but we are still a serious News Channel okay wow I didn't know that I just you're telling me now for the first time and we are I don't want to hear a word a serious News Channel point is I don't know if I was suited for you know the reality show Vibe where often the drama and the craziness is the the main entertainment factor that is focused on right and you know I was upfront about this I told them at the time I I voiced my concerns like really me uh but you know they they seemed to think that yeah I was good for it you know there was even a point genuinely that about a week before you know so I said two weeks I got contacted and a week into it I was like I made up my mind I was like no I'm I'm not actually doing this and I told them that and I said thank you for the opportunity hopefully we can do something again in the future but obviously you know now that that's not how the story ended because you know I won't go into detail but we sorted out all the apprehensions and I said screw it screw it let's do it and it was only the night before we were about to go inside that we found out that it was on Netflix so I kind of was just like you know we're doing it and the Netflix thing well just turned out to be a massive bonus because how surreal is it to to be I haven't even sat down yet and like clicked like you know when you turn it on it goes do and then you see your face on it be it'll be wild truly truly surreal so I'm yeah lost for words for how grateful I am for it and you know I have seen the first episode and ah man I don't think that they'll mind me saying this but holy [ __ ] you season two you just purely as an objective piece of content regardless of who was in it is so much better than season 1 and perhaps you need to understand like what it was like inside like the making of all of this to understand how well they've produced and edited this in comparison to season 1 you know that was many points throughout the first day of when we were shooting where I was like I don't know how they're going to get content out of this because it was like it was intense everyone was speaking over each other there was 12 people everyone was super loud and I it just didn't come across that way in the edit at all when you actually watch it which is so freaking good and it was a bit like that in the first season so when I saw this come across I was like they they have done a really freaking good job and when you watch it like you would only know by being in there but they cut out like 95% of all of the the stuff that went on in that 24 hours including this part so this is you're only going to know about this firsthand here so it was at the moment we were all like coming in and um I think it was Mandy the the person that I arrived in there with and she asked me she CU she' never actually seen my content she asked me like oh what do you do and I thought ah you know here we go I was like oh you know um I used to I used to actually run these massive parties I used to organize them for my boss and we called them freak offs you know they were renowned around the world they were massive all the celebrities would come to them um but then my boss he got arrested and uh yeah it was it was pretty rough after that and then I've just been kind of like making a little bits of content here and there after this is expecting her to like to clock it right to understand it freak offs who doesn't know what a freak off is but she had no clue and so did a couple of others I think it was Sinner and like one or two others that didn't know what I did it just became this running reference of like people genuinely think this is what I used to do and afterwards I didn't know if they were going to run this stuff and so after I um I actually got out and I spoke to like the producers after and I asked like oh sh did you like clock that did you get the reference because it didn't seem everyone else did and one of the guys was like yeah like when we were in there we heard you making that stuff and they said and I quote protect him and they cut it so you don't see any of that stuff but man that would have been hilarious because all of you watching at home would get it and to see no one else get the joke is would be wild but yeah I mean I don't think Netflix is going to air me talking about someone that's on potentially on trial for life right now but I guess that was the other crazy point because no one actually knew who was going to be in there the moment when we all get in is literally the first time that all of us had met because even the night before when we were supposed to go in those hotels we had someone take us to our hotel room we'd go inside and we couldn't leave and they tried to do that because they wanted it to be like first genuine reaction when we get in there and they did well because each person was a surprise I didn't know anyone that was going to you know be in this whole series oh and yes also I did turn up with uh old Hulk slippers because Elliot has like what over 300 pairs of shoes and you know when you got a brother with that many you got options and so we went with those I think they were amazing kind of sad that they took them from me they they stripped us down to nothing now there is so much more that I I I'm going to be able to get into once the you know second third episode releases yeah we we'll talk about it when the next few episodes come out I I'll post another video later this week and uh we'll go through everything because pretty crazy but yeah super happy with the first episode I want to say a huge thank you and well done to all of the C men absolutely smashed it with this one it's come out amazing but we've got to move on because we are a serious News Channel remember because also this week we finally got another update on young Philly and his whole situation he appeared in court on Tuesday with a grown out beard grown out hair and officially pleading not guilty to the eight charges that he assaulted a woman and her in a hotel room in Perth now this means that he will be fighting the allegations in court and he will appear before the state's higher District on June the 13th oh he also spoke to the media for the first time because usually he just walks straight past them doesn't comment but this time he did uh but he only said the weather's nice and that it's a beautiful day before getting in the car and driving off I mean you can tell he's from the UK we always we always talk about the weather when we got nothing else to say but yeah that's about it so uh it's going to be about 3 months now before you you're going to hear any updates to be honest but in the same week just a couple days later Diddy also appeared in court and also plad not guilty to all of his charges and because there was no cameras allowed in the courtroom we actually got a sketch and apparently brother's got a Gray beard and gray hair now which I'm not sure if he went into with I don't know I I wouldn't be surprised that that would Age you like the stress would Age you his trial begins on May the 5th and man let me just make my prediction now I genuinely think this is going to be one of if not the biggest trial of the decade just think about the Netflix documentaries that that are going to be made on this I mean tying in Netflix and Diddy to all of this is pretty ironic but yeah moving on because we also need to talk about Elon Musk and like he has been having a freaking terrible maybe the worst week for a while and it can't just be me right that that's been seeing more and more clips of people vandalizing Teslas every goddamn post on X is that now so I looked into it and yeah not just Tesla people are attacking like all of his businesses so last week Tesla's stock plummeted in fact they saw their seventh worst day in the company's 15-year trading history that's pretty rough and Trump said he blames the radical left lunatics saying that you know they're trying to boycott the firm and that you know to kind of show his report this is actually what led up to all of those Teslas being brought to the White House and Trump even you know as he was sitting in the cars and looking at it being all computer said that who was going to buy one to pump their stock I don't actually know if he did buy a Tesla in the end anyway back to elon's terrible week there was a whole wave of attacks carried out to multiple Tesla dealerships across the country one individual was carrying explosives at a dealership in Colorado and they tried to set fire to the building and were only arrested on their fifth separate attempt how insane Teslas especially cyber trucks have been attacked and vandalized in the streets in a charging stations and also last week a number of cyber trucks were torched in Seattle and there's footage of what they look like after burnt to a freaking apocalyptic crisp and then at the same time as the stock plummeting and all of the dealerships getting vandalized is other company X well it suffered multiple outages and the reason for that being multiple massive cyber trying to bring down the X system with what Elon says the IP address is originating from the Ukraine area and then just to kind of pile on all of that this is a few days after he appeared on Joe Rogan saying he has to be careful because he can't push too hard at with his work at Doge because but I think if I if I if I fully destroy the the the corruption and The graft they will kill me and if you're wondering why they're doing all of this which you're probably not but one of the uh protesters who gathered you know last weekend uh to protest against his work at Doge said you get paid to be out here amazing just some pack you really are getting paid for this yeah absolutely definitely 100% I'm getting paid for this and the things just keep on piling because Tesla sales in Europe down 45% in January compared to the January pre 2024 76% down in Germany 49% down in China and also declining sales in America and austral Australia both key markets now hearing all of this terrible news it isn't as bad you know you zoom out and you know Tesla's stock prices are at pretty much the same as they were before the election and at the time of recording this we are actually seeing a bit of a bump back up so yeah the question is ultimately for you will these boycotts and attacks on elon's businesses truly hurt him and the companies or will they be fine and it will pass well I L my Instagram and 56% of people said yeah Elon is cooked and 44% said n this will pass very interesting but moving on because also happening this week we just witnessed the largest protest in Serbia's history now for starters the government put the number at 107,000 independent monitors said that more than 325,000 turned up while unofficial estimates say that as many as 800,000 turned up to protest and I'm not going to lie man you see some of these drone you know shots and for the government to say that this was just 100,000 seems wild oh and keep in mind as you're seeing these enormous numbers this is all a student Le movement it was called the 15th for 15 protests referring to the 15 people that were recently killed after a concrete and glass canopy fell on them at a railway station now the reason why there's been protests ever since and increasingly large amounts is because so far no one has been held accountable for this tragedy now many of the people protesting blame government corruption de demanding that they publish all of the documentation related to the station's renovation and for the president Vu Vick to resign and then to make things worse there are video circulating online that claim that you know while these students were holding their 15 minutes of silence for the 15 that were killed police allegedly used lrads or better known as sound cannons now these are devices that have been used before in protests like in the US for example in 2020 and they emit focused beams of extremely loud sound so loud that can induce vomiting for anyone in the wave and even ear damage now keep in mind these reports are yet unconfirmed but you know there's these videos that show this huge crowd like split almost perfectly in two they just start running like in a perfect line which is really weird to see in a subredit for people participating in the protest one said it seems that everyone in the line of the wave felt very strange they said their brain stopped working and that they started running involuntarily many people also feel very EX exhaust it now at the time of recording the people demanding accountability have not yet received it from you know at least the accountability that they're looking for but of course we're a news channel a serious one at that so we'll keep you updated when we find a resolution as things develop moving on okay I feel like it's a a good enough time right now because and I might regret doing this but I promise to make it up to you after we missed rapid fire news last week so the rest of this this week's news will be packaged into rapid finess this is what you asked for prepare yourself everyone salute our three sacrificial Lambs today to remind everyone to subscribe May their sacrifice honor the just subscribe F hor casserole thank you for your sacrifice subscribe to the channel okay start the rapid fire news in the UK because what the hell is going on man a British couple were find one ,500 after they discovered that a migrant had clung onto the back of their vehicle all the way home from France you might be wondering why would they get fined for that well when they arrived home they started unpacking and they found that a 16-year-old boy from Sudan had zipped himself inside their cover for their bike racks they quickly called the police right and so far this is all making sense to you right this is what a normal person would do they called the police they arrived but to their surprise you know after this whole ordeal they were the one that received a fine in the mail from the home office for failing to check that no one had hitched a ride on their motor home yeah the husband said this is wild and at no point did I believe I would be fined for taking the correct and moral action because yeah he called the police and he was the one that suffered for it next is rapid fire thousands of Acres of protected Amazon rainforest have been cut to make a four-lane highway for climate Summit the irony the BBC report that cop 30 will be held in the Brazilian city of BM so to ease the traffic for the 50,000 people and world leaders that would be attending they have cleared land 13 km through the rainforest to make way for a new highway next Forever 21 in America is set to close all stores in the country after they declared bankruptcy for the second time so this time is really cooked they cited declining moall traffic which man I still this is so off topic but I've been to a couple malles in America creepiest places ever I'm sorry maybe it was a thing like moles are really outdated in America right now but weird weird like they feel I'm sorry I love America but I hate your moles so sorry yes declining mole traffic and increased competition from online retailers like teu and Sheen teu and Sheen shape in the world next at least 33 people at least from the time of recording have passed away in the United States after a number of extremely powerful tornadoes ripped through parts of the country cars were flipped schools were destroyed entire neighborhoods were shredded and what's crazier and this is like the kind of stuff that only exists in America just wild so you got tornadoes in one part in Texas and Oklahoma you had dust storms and 130 wildfires and then at the same time in northern Minnesota you had a blizzard warning all in one country next us also cooked up a political storm this weekend because they announced that they are kicking South Africa's Ambassador out of the country they said he is no longer welcome because he is a race baiting politician that hates America and president Trump and keep in mind like this is so extremely rare for a country to do not even Russia or the United States did this at the height of their Cold War next I feel like each at the end of one of these I need to process it for a second before I move on at least 59 people in North Macedonia were killed after a nightclub which was operating at twice its capacity set fire officials have already arrested 15 people after they found that club pulse which was its name was operating without a license saying we have grounds for suspicion that there is bribery and corruption in this case sorry I know this is rapid fire news but this is important point to make we just covered the Gree protest right and that stemmed from an event that happened with the two trains that killed many people then we're covering the largest protest in Serbia's history which stem from 15 people getting killed both of which are accused of corruption and now we're seeing 59 people being killed from a club and this is also a ready suspicion of corruption so I feel like there's a lot more that could happen following this also around 15 155 people were injured and it's fear that the death toll could rise because 20 of the injured are in critical condition addition so we'll keep you updated on that one next we also go reports that Trump is now considering a new travel ban which extends to a massive 43 countries please don't be the UK and they're not all going to be flat out like travel ban because they've got red orange and yellow which all indicate different levels of restrictions that each country will face next the US has also been busy Cheez in other countries this weekend because their military forces in a joint operation with Iraq has eliminated isis's leader of global operations Trump celebrated the news saying peace through strength Trump also ordered air strikes against the houthis in Yemen and said that they will continue indefinitely he posted saying to all houthi terrorists and then this is the the rest of it all caps your time is up and your attacks must stop starting today if they don't hell will rain down upon you like nothing you have ever seen before next oh some actual fantastic good news the astronauts stuck in space which originally was supposed to be there for like a week but is turned into 9 months well they may finally be returning home because just in the past couple of days that rescue SpaceX capsule has docked with the ISS so after all of this time apparently hopefully if there's no complications which let's be honest there might be but if there isn't they are due to make their Journey back to Earth this
