Happy... Monday? Yes, I know I don't normally post on a Monday, but the holidays have messed up my schedule a little bit, so here's the plan for the next week or so:

- I'm posting a new Dose tomorrow (today in early access for you, this video right here!)

- Then your regular Tuesday bonus video will be up on Wednesday (it's a fun one about celebrity worship and how clickbait news sites will make a story out of anything)

- No new video this Saturday (Jan 1st)

- Patreon will get a bonus video on Tuesday, January 4th, and then regular weekend videos will resume January 8th.

Thank you as always, and enjoy this week's Dose that would have come out on Saturday if it wasn't for us all celebrating some guy's birthday!

After a year on the market, Playstation 5s are still not easy to get. And many people blame scalpers for this, for reducing the number of consoles available and taking advantage of a worldwide chip shortage. In fact, people are VERY upset with anyone who might be a scalper. Buckley looks at one incident where a young man was attacked for selling a PS5, and the Internet's overwhelming response defending the attacker.

Jesus it's the first time I heard an English pronounciation of Peugeot and my ears vomited. At first I though you fucked up (which is extremely unlikely but hey) but no, that's actually the correct pronounciation.

Oh you know what, that's one of those times I really winged it, based on how I've heard it my whole life. So that should be a fun one in the comments section from my international listeners!

Is there a Patreon only playlist of some sort? I've been making my way through content, but I'd love to just put it on and be able to listen while I'm at work or doing chores around the house. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but you mentioned how much content there was at the start of the video and it made me think of it again. Thanks again for all the great videos.

Now this is what I call a Christmas present!!! Good work Buckley!!!

Hey Tim, Unfortunately I can't do that, because if the playlist gets shared, there's no incentive to actually sign up for Patreon (plus once someone has the playlist link, they could just quit and still keep getting all the new videos). I do have the "Bonus" button set up here on Patreon, if you click on that it'll show you all of the bonus-only videos which I believe can then just be played from there, so it might just be a quick click every 5 minutes or so. I'm hoping maybe Patreon will have a better solution for this in the next year.

Honestly I think scalpers are pieces of shit. They're not a "middle man" they're parasites who make it harder for actual consumers. The people who go out of their way to snatch up all of the product available at retail with bots and then turn around to sell for double or triple, yeah fuck them, that shit should be illegal and punishable by some legal means. (Obviously not by being shot by some prick. He's worse than the scalpers, obviously.)

As sad as it is to hear the PS5 died, that it happened to a thief/shooter is very satisfying. And has anyone thought the shooter was probably gonna scalp the PS5 after getting it?

Yeah don't shoot scalpers, just troll them. Get them to come out as far as possible and wait for you while you just sit at home and watch them get mad as they realize they've been had.

My friend has a brother who gets all sorts of free shit where he works (Steelers tickets for a game he couldn't go to, he got a huge TV once, and he was offering to sell me an EXTRA PS4 for $600 (less than they usually cost). I didn't buy it, because I have other shit I need to buy, but some people just get free stuff.
