None of that stuff is good. Culture bleed from our American friends. It’s a worry that honour was replaced by lust for death. If that’s the attitude what principles are we fighting for exactly?
Just in case this hasn't been covered.. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/feb/21/sydneys-growing-pains-land-rezoning-a-potential-billion-dollar-deal-for-developers-after-local-council-sidelined
Got anything coming up on gambling in Australia in general? My family's business was embezzled from to the tune of 10mil over 10 years, but the guy was a gambling addict so there wasn't anything to recover. Gambling companies would give him VIP treatment cause he basically poured profit my Dad's hard labour (and kept making him work out on jobsites after a brain bleed) into those greedy agencies.
ABC article headline is "One of Queensland’s biggest punters stole $10 million from friends' company to feed gambling habit, police allege"
Friend Jordan when is laughing at climate deniers V2 pls, more Davez dinnaz and more gary orsun stuff pls friend jordan aaa
If friendly jordies wants to go half's in a small farm il happily be an armed gard lol
How do you think australia became so rotten? always thought you were a very modern country, but from your videos you seem to be like USA
Nah we have heath care and preferences voting. Unfortunately we have a brain washed electorate. But the internet is slowly waking them up.
Are you looking to mount a fresh attack on biased media outlets?
You could announce a new crowd funding campaign, to fund the legal costs of Murdoch or Costello media whileblowers. I assume cogs in these machines fear retribution via lawsuit and the public would happily fund a safety net for them to come clean publicly about what goes on.
Do you have any advice for people that want to educate themselves on the finer details of Australian political corruption but don't have the head to pull apart legal documents and dry reports of shit?
^this
You've dealt with a lot of pretty crazy stuff recently, how are Jordan and the team holding up ? Hopefully all the bullshit thrown at you isn't getting to you too much; but it mustn't be easy being firebombed :/ Take care xx
oh shit am I too late? okay my question is "how do you feel about the tags (graffiti) in Sydney?"
Hey Jords, Mitch again with two fish queries. Would you consider a salt water tank, since you’ve got the moolah and you’re inside a lot to look after them? What are the names of your Tetra’s and any others you may have? You should check out getting a Ghost Knife. It’s such a sweet fish, reminds me of a snake with a dog face. Ps. Do a show in the Sunshine Coast 🤘🏻
How do you feel about your first video?
do you have a plan to return Neel + Jordan in the near future or is still unsure if it will continue? Love your work
What's happening with the Jordan shanks channel, would have thought the inspiration would have been all around during these trying times
did spainian give you any advise after the firebombing?
Jordan can you ask Kristo if his band would play a gig with my band sometime in Sydney cheers lad
What is.... nah I got nothin'
If no a kiss then can I have a hug? Please? I'm getting really desperate here.
Just gimme the bottom line: Do I need to harden up for 4 years of rule by ClubsNSW or is there something we can change this year?
Dont let the perfect be the enemy of good. Here’s a lait of why Dom deserves to be kicked out ICARE (perrottets baby) TAHE (another on of his babies) Barilaro saga (jobs for mates and was treasurer when the diversion of 100 million dollar bushfire grant away from fire damaged Labor states happened. Report now with ICAC with a formal investigation expected) Premier guaranteed toll companies a 4 percent annual increase (now 6.1 percent) Mass Privatisation of our assets that largely led to our predicament now Perrotet has stated in his debate with Minns he will continue to sell priceless assets to bankroll privatised infrastructure Refuses to rule out further privatisation such as Sydney water Health and education system in crisis Used the pandemic as an opportunity to sell workers a pay cut. As treasurer, he froze the wages of NSW public sector workers: paramedics, nurses, and other hospital workers fighting COVID-19. He maintained that public health and education workers were squeezing private sector employees by refusing pay freezes opposed laws to force Catholic priests to tell police if a priest confessed to sex abuse in the confessional stating the confessional booth was “sacred” Was the treasurer who approved Gladys grant to her secret lover Leading a party that built a hospital for 1.2 billion dollars and flogged it off for 0 dollars Attempted to privatise 5 of the regional hospitals Shut down the rail network and tried pinning it on the union when he was on the telly Attempted to terminate the contract of 8000 rail workers to force them into a shitty agreement Qantas style Soldiered on and continued to privatise the last remaining bus service. Thousand services cut, driver shortage and no one is applying to be a driver due to the shitty conditions offered by the contracting company. Its so bad commuters have banded together to hire and offer buses themselves (commuter funded service) In a desperate bid to get votes he is promising cashless cards by the end of 2 election cycles. Cards dont have spending limits so is next to useless for problem gambling. He is also offering all the clubs a ‘clubkeeper’ like arrangement in where he will give them grants of 340 million to assist them in moving cashless. Calculated move which makes himself look like the politician with integrity and makes Labor look shady. Always judge a person by their record Both brothers are hiding from a upper house inquiry regarding branch stacking claims and large amounts of funds being being paid to Liberal MP’s to stack the shire council with property developer friendly mates
State election: I gotta choose between independent and not. In fact I want to ask the hard questions to my independent candidate. So — should I be annoyed at Minns's weak policy on pokies? Trusting Perrotet with his history is totally priced in, but am I wrong or is Minns's policies not even as strong? Even on a talk-the-talk level I mean.
Do you have future plans to engage with larger youtubers/streamers/podcasters? I'm sure shows like Your Mom's House would love your content.
Are you moist for henry cavills warhammer ?...reaction video?
Who are the cia stooges in Oz politics?
What has come of yilmaz ?
When’s Neel + Jordan returning? I don’t have enough comedians talking like experts on subjects they’re not experts on in my life
Jordies, so excited for the BRUZ show in townsville. Overdue on a reaction video to some reality shit. Keep it light for ya. BUT more videos into the coalition (Dutton) would be bomb af.
Honestly, do you like pinapple on pizza? I want to start a war in the comment section (>^.^)> ♨<~ (thats supposed to be a pizza)
Yes
What do you think was the most shocking place you’ve had to travel to for a video? Like the flood video or the secret dictatorship video so on.
Will you be doing an expose on Perrottet? He has a lot of skeletons in his closet
When is the Jordan shanks channel coming back?
I'm familiar with your personal thoughts on cannabis, however, I'd like to ask your thoughts on the legalisation of medicinal AND recreational cannabis in Australia? I see regulation as a good thing for quality, safety and crime reduction - it's strange the war on drugs (specifically cannabis) still exists when you see how detrimental the alcohol, tobacco, and gambling industries are to the health of society.
The media, especially Nine, have been constantly at it with the "cost of living" and "putting the government to account", despite not doing that with the last government, to provide soundbites and a narrative script for the Liberals. Will you have any response to them pushing this bs narrative? Also, any plans for more MAFS or Love Island content?
Tax evasion is a big problem around the world, could collectively employing the same techniques in the middle class galvanise tax reform?
When are we getting some top tier ‘fuck the coalition’ type content? I need to fill out my assassination attempt bingo card.
This warhammer channel has very little warhammer on it. My question is did your warhammer stuff survive the fire?
have you heard any rumours OR trumours about dutton Jr? I hear the not a monster apple falls close to the not a monster tree...
Great to see you're at least alive. Any dream collabs?
you once did people, at sterio sonic, then splendour whatever. how about the new festivals laneway and falls? put some Gen Z in plz
Love your work buddie, glad to see you back at it and great show in Katoomba last year :) An ongoing controversy in my area might need your touch. I was wondering if you could look into a Liberal political member, Sarah Richards, regarding land developers, town planning, RFS funding, trump rants...and maybe not disclosing every truth about her qualifications and her husbands profession. She is from the Blue Mountains/Hawkesbury LGA. Just a thought as I think there's enough juicy content for you to have a field day with
Hey Jordan, love all that you do. Was wondering what kind of movement/protest it would take to reverse the 17th century law that protects politicians from critisism. Would the vile corrupt counter terrorism organization ruin and endanger the lives of peaceful protestors in the name of protecting todays politicians fragile egos? Or would that be too much bad publicity for them to handle? Cheers.
My dad says unions gatekeep some companies and choose who they can hire. Is this true and if so what do you think of it
Yes I have a question.. where are you?? Are you okay?? lol (before people come at me, yes I OBVIOUSLY know he's not going to say exactly where he is). But I mean what's the go, can you live a normal life or are you legit going to have to be undercover. I'm guessing no considering the live show? But explain your situation if you can. We have been worried!!
I kinda wanna know what the 'supercop' dog abuser / witness coacher wanker is up to
Would you ever do a video with Hassan Piker (Hasanabi) relating to left and right politics and where the left could improve their policies within both US and Aus?
Could you do a repeat segment covering current scams that are circulating? Researching should be easy, just list anything for sale on gumtree or Facebook and wait an hour or two
Will you team up with Majorkill and do an Aussie Legends 40k video?
Are you going to review another reality TV show? Maybe survivor?
wHEN ARE U DOIN ANOTHER MEME REVIEW JORDIES U FUK Happy to see you back and well done on the most recent video ❤❤❤
How do you feel about the NSW state election coming this March? Do you think labour can win, or will liberals take another four years to bring "Great" Prosperity to this State of ours? Also Glad to see you back on YouTube!
How'd the Anthony Fantano appearance come about for the fatty video?
Is a horse a large donkey? And would Aunty Shelly fight a rumpled foreskin?
Would you rather fight a chicken sized grizzly bear, or a grizzly bear sized chicken?
Bro chickens are scary enough when they chase you 💀 I'll take the mini wombat ass looking bear
What’s the most you’ve ever done?
What video of yours do you wish you could go back and redo? (And no, Christian Dads vs Muslim Dads is not an option. That is immutable).
Why didn't you reply to my shitty job application? Now I don't believe in nothin no more. I'm goin to law school!
Are you doing OK?
Do you agree that the greatest injustice of our time is that there is no Yilmaz movie, and therefore the filming of said movie would actually be the most ethical use of your legal fund?
It may have blown over with the change of government, but under Dutton Borderforce had been taking people's phones for a random selection and downloading their personal data, which they apparently keep unless you ask them not to? I believe this to be some random selection relating to the prevention of importing porn - this has now happened to two people I know, and it was an embarrassing ordeal to say the least. Have you touched on this previously? How is this legal?
How do you feel about Minns response on the cashless pokies card? Not a troll, the topic has been a centerpiece of your recent work. If you're hoping for better perhaps you can sway your decent (to rhino-level) peen to help change that. <3 XxOo
And what's up with Troy Stolz running against Minns in Kogarah? Would love to get the FJ take on that.
what do you think on current nz and aus relations
What do you think is behind the rise in Youth Crime lately? Asking in the wake of the Toowoomba forum
When will you devote yourself to Our Creator, The Flying Spaghetti Monster? ( FSM Heaven has a Stripper Factory and A Beer Volcano)
I was and still am a believer in the Australian Democrats. I think we need a strong Australian Democrat Party to mend a broken political system. What are your thoughts on a return of the Australian Democrats?
What is your favourite audience moment from one of your live shows?
Jordie, you're a national treasure as far as I'm concerned and your reporting is crucial to the country. That said, do you ever wish you had a counterpart in each state to help educate people to what their government is really up to? I.e. you focus a lot on NSW politics because it's the most corrupt but also because you've lived there for such a long time but would it be beneficial to have someone who could talk more to Victorian politics or QLD politics? Seems like a no brainer to try and expand to each state specifically, transparency is key
Can IT workers get off their arses and unionise? Also welcome back, glad you have returned safe.
I was wondering about this. Seems like Professionals Australia is the best option? Are they any good?
It would be great to see a video or two exposing and holding Michaelia Cash to account. Would this be something Jordan and the Friendly Jordies team be interested to do?
What the hell is going on with the Government and the Reserve Bank blaming each other for not getting on top of Inflation. Is it even possible if the rest of the World is heading into a recession anyway?
Would you go over the economic situation locally, look at it relative to the global economy, relate it to the 2008-9 crash and give thought if we're going to see a GFC2 Are you open to do any work with smaller Australian political youtubers, eg Swollen Pickles or Tom Tanuki ? Any strong opinions on circumcision?
What's the most effective way to convince a coworker or friend to join their union? On that note, what are your thoughts on non-ACTU unions like RAFFWU- do you think that competition between unions forces them to be better for workers, or would competition divide and hence weaken organised labour? Thank you very much for your work and time :)
How cone you haven't taken down Alan Jones yet?
Also, do a Perth show.
Second that. 👍
Where is Mathew McQueen now? Wasn't he being investigated for perjury and perverting the course of justice?
Neel + Jordan Status? Loving MisAdventures glad your back
I've always wanted to know more about how the Medicare levy/private health care rort came to be... Considering the sad state of affairs with Medicare ATM would that be an something you're interested in reporting on.
MAFS is back when are you
Aren't you afraid of Bruz suing you again given the name of your new live show? Or are you legally protected from that somehow?
Also, love your work and glad to see you back with such a great anime recap episode! Can't wait to find out who the villain is at the end of the series!
Hey Jordan, Who's underwear did you steal?
What is your view on the Green's usual take, this time regarding housing; of just taking a Labor figure, multiplying it by 10 or more, saying they can fund it by "taxing billionaires", then having a sook when Labor stick to their guns with actual workable policy? Namely, Max NIMBY Chandlers just puffing his chest up for notoriety.
I love how the Greens seem to believe that houses just appear out of the ground without construction workers
Have you thought about moving state to at least be slightly further away from all your enemies?
Would you ever look into where drug stigma revealed itself in Australia, how it might be reduced and how mainstream media demonise it? As an extremely basic/quick example: Cocaine is an evil hard drug to most, but is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, which is what the primary ADHD meds are (methylphenidate hydrochloride and dexamphetamine sulphate).
Oh this!
Why doesn't Australia have more entertaining comedy political talkshows/ why does America have so many. (Mad as is all I can think) (Ie Real time, last week tonight, colbare ect) Is it just a population thing, a lack of talent what?
An investigation into whether there is a difference between Phillip Lowe and a donkey with a sign around its neck that says “if inflation prints above 3% raise rates, if inflation prints below 2% cut rates”.
Do you know of any dodgy dealings, misconduct or dumb decisions the Tasmanian liberals have been up to?
When are you gonna Tau painting tutorial? Give us what we want jimmies
Does Phillip Lowe deserve his (liberal party appointed) position or is he a puppet/stooge who needs to go?
Did you ever think about giving up YouTube?
Will you address a talking point I'm seeing everywhere at the moment, namely that Lithium/Cobalt etc are completely unethical/environmentally destructive, the implication being we're better off with fossil fuels? I'm assuming it's just yet another delaying tactic served up by the usual suspects but I'd like to head your take on it.
It is, check out Lava Blue, they’ve made a process that is effectively ‘green steel’ for critical minerals. It uses hydrochloric acid to leach the desired material in a cyclical process which doesn’t give off any pollutants.
Have you ever considered digging into the Future Fund? Board is helmed by Peter Costello, massive investments into banking, gambling and mining/fossil fuels, sudden massive investment into CSL around the same time they got the AZ contract and around the same time Dave Sharma also invested in CSL. All of their AGM voting records show them actively opposing green energy and indigenous rights votes, despite having a legally enshrined ESG policy. Might be nothing, but it's a multi billion dollar investment fund run by various corporate ghouls and Peter Costello.
Do you think Australia should take a role in helping NZ recover from cyclone Gabriella? Love your work lads, keep it up and don't lose heart. Glad you're back.
What do you know about the social credit score/ my gov I.d. that's coming into play soo (allegedly)
If you could only see one colour for the rest of your life, which one would it be?
Have you played Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team?
The real question is did the unwashed aunt shelly wig survive the fire? or did it go out the way it would of wanted like all the chop chop she sold "up in flames"? Also surely do a dave dinnerz on a salad from maccas would be mad to see love ya shit
How are Kristo's mum and dog?
Going on Cold Ones anytime soon? The Chad cameo done me in harder than Tobey Maguire in No Way Home.
Is the firebombing event going to change your videos / docos? Will you still go after corrupt people and put yourself at risk again? How will you improve your OpSec to mitigate events like this in the future?
Hey guys have you got anything in the works about just how much lower the ABC has gone since the last time you covered them? Please.
What music do you listen to, besides Gary Orsum of course?
Would you please consider doing more RBT or Bottle-O videos?
Would you rather fight to the death a horse-sized duck, or 100 duck-sized horses?
Are you going to do more roman history cartoon videos. The last one was brilliant, or even one about byzantine history. Doing about one about gigachad belisarius, the muslin conquest or them goddamn virgin venetians would we wicked
Does the end of the return video mean you are going on the Cold Ones podcast at some point???
Are you planning to do a review of the federal Labor government thus far?
U gym bruz?
When do you think Australia will legalise cannabis? 🤞
Will Brûz be coming to Wollongong? I didnt see it on the dates on your return video. I promise the projectors will work this time
Would you ever take a run at politics, and if so would it be with an existing party or as an independent? Or do you think you're more impactful on your current trajectory? PS please announce that Daniel from Sydney is as good looking as the South end of a North facing wombat. Cheers.
I would be surprised! Too much work, not enough fun, possibly a pay cut, impact on the rest of the team.
Have the police give you any updates?
Why does Canberra always get a couple of days of shows in your tours? I live here and I don't even want to be here for two more days.
Are you going to do another review on state election ads?
Do you think that in a weird way the firebombing has increased the credibility of your news coverage? 9 and fairfax constantly label the friendly jordies enterprise as “just an internet troller” or worse a “conspiracy theorist”, not many conspiracy theorists get their house set alight after releasing a story that was untrue
Was your reaction to doing another Q&A: "Talk to the audience?! ohh God this is always death!" Second question: will the Jordan Shanks YouTube videos also be returning?
If you had the option of time traveling back to the Byzantine Empire would you abandon us all to do it? If so, how would you prepare? What would you bring?
First words after ClubsNSW dropped their case?
What comedians have you been watching lately? Are you a Norm fan?
Is Toowoomba the shittiest place you have done a show ?
Do you now have a proper plan for your company if you pass on? Do you and your staff know what to do with the channel? Will it be able to continue given you have (I believe) researchers and an editor that depends on the channel and people who are willing to pay for that research and editing?
What an ominous question LOL. (edit: not having a go just wild how it's actually something we have to worry about)
Paul Keating = Greatest PM in your opinion - why? video please?
Chips or Mash?
To misquote Kipling: "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs... you probably don't understand the magnitude of the problem." I vote Green because I know a lot about Climate Change, and Labor's targets are inadequate. Why do you think Labor will be a better solution?
If you had to pick just one episode of The Simpsons as your favourite or atleast most quotable which one would you choose?
Would you rather have wings and fly but never able to walk again OR have no arms but you can be invisible whenever you want?
Great to see you back! You and the FJs team have been through hell and you've all come back swinging. ✊️❤️ How's the Who Shot Mr Burns open investigation been going?
What is the time right now where you are and who’s better Hawke or Keating
Keating
Any chance of you guys doing another video on the coronation group? I understand things are still quite hot but that video was amazing,Also hope you and your team are doing well :)
Will you be brining your new show out here to glorious Westralia?
Waddaya MEAN tha banks outta money?!?!?!
Is your live show ever gonna come to Darwin?
Will Jordan shanks (the channel) come back? Obviously You’ve had a ton of stress lately so I wouldn’t put it against you if you wanted to focus on one project at once.
What can we expect to see in the new show?
Will you marry me?
What do you think about the use of AI in particular the application it could have politically?
Oi more Yilmaz ya cunt
What happened to the fish tank
How is everyone in the friendly jordies team?
