Colin's Last Stand, Episode 33: HBO's Confederate, Amazon's Black America & Professional Outrage

It's fiction. It won't hurt you. Promise.

News Burst: August 02, 2017

Hi!

How’s life? Good, I hope. It’s time for one of your twice-weekly News Bursts!

I just want to say how heartened I am by the response to the new goal I’ve placed here on Patreon to perhaps launch a ~20 minute podcast a week, if we can sustain 5,000+ subs from month to month. We’re really close to our goal already, and if we can sustain that number into September, I will produce four podcasts, and so on and so forth. So, that’s ~80 minutes worth of new content to look forward ...

Chaos and Ineptitude in the Trump Administration!

A New Initiative: A Podcast

Hey All,

I hope you're doing very well!

A few days ago, I wrote a letter to the audience outlining a few issues, including upcoming merch plans (which I'm so stoked about... soon!), a 9/11 episode I'm brewing on with my father, and more. In there, I indicated that there was something else I wanted to tell you about, and the time for that is now.

I have a hankering to do something new with CLS. Better put, I want to make an addition to the CLS family in the form of a brief, m...

July, 2017's CLS Topic Election Winner

Hey All!

This month's Topic Election for $2+/month is now over, and a winner has been declared!

869 of you voted, and the winner with 33% of the vote was The Manhattan Project, a topic submitted by Matthew Nathan Lauzon. Thank you, Matthew!

At some point in August, I will deliver a video on The Manhattan Project, in line with the vote. The full results are below:

The Manhattan Project: 33% (287 votes)
The Video Games Treat Historical Figures: 29% (...

A republic cannot be governed like this.

Don't Forget to Vote!

Hey All!

If you didn't vote yet in this month's Topic Election, you have roughly one more day to do so. The link above should work, but it it doesn't, try this: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cls-topic-july-13098228

I will announce the winner on Tuesday, August 1st. (You'll then get a new Primary Election in the days thereafter.)

See you tomorrow at 9a PT for an all-new episode of Co...

On Patreon, Lauren Southern, Merch, and 9/11 (?!)

Hey All!

First off, I hope you’re all doing great. I’m back from my vacation, and I’m frankly raring to get back into creating more Colin’s Last Stand content. It was really awesome to see my brother and dad, not to mention Ramon open for the band we grew up in love with. But I also feel kinda anxious and pent-up. I have a lot to say! New videos begin rolling out July 31st.

Watch This Movie: Dunkirk

Hey All,

Knowing this audience, I suspect all of you area already all over this. But just in case, I wanted to reiterate what your friends, family, and trusted movie critics alike have already told you: Dunkirk is a fantastic film.

During my week off, I split time between Philadelphia and Long Island. The second half of my trip was on Long Island, where my brother, my father, and I went out to Montauk, rented a couple of hotel rooms, and shot the shit for a couple of days, away fro...

News Burst: July 27, 2017

Hey Guys,

I’m back! I hope you’re all doing great.

First of all, for those at the $5/month level, I hope you enjoyed access to Colin’s Last Stands first three Q&As. I figured they’d be useful companions to you as you mowed the lawn, or cooked dinner, or whatever. Consider them a modest thank you for your patience as I took my very first prolonged vacation following the founding of Colin’s Last Stand. It was really nice to get away, without even my laptop, so there’d be no...

Colin's Last Stand, Episode 31 (Audio) (This One Works)

Hey All,

I usually don't include a note on these, but I just wanted to let you know that I've gone ahead and deleted the old Episode 31 audio posting, so as top avoid any confusion. For those that didn't see, the one I posted was actually (and accidentally) the Dunkirk video. I couldn't fix it from Philadelphia or LI because I didn't have my laptop. =\

Hopefully, this doesn't mess up any RSS feeds.

Anyway, as always, let me know what works and what doesn't. I'll be reading y...

Vacation Miracle III: May, 2017's Q&A Video

One more Vacation Miracle, because I love you all so. Enjoy!

Vacation Miracle II: April, 2017's Q&A Video

How about another Vacation Miracle until I return?

Vacation Miracle I: March, 2017's Q&A Video

Hey All!

I'm on vacation, and there won't be a new episode of Colin's Last Stand until July 31st. As a result -- and with the blessing of the $10+/month Patrons who responded to an inquiry I made -- I'm making some old Q&A videos free for all Patrons to tide you over.

Here's the very first Q&A video I ever did for CLS, originally for $10+/month supporters from the month of March.

Please enjoy! Thank you so much for your support. I'll see you when I get back!

Colin's Last Stand, Episode 31: 2020's Nine Presidential Candidates (So Far)

It's never too early. Is it?

News Burst: July 19, 2017 (+ Vacation Notes)

Hey All,

I hope this News Burst finds you well!

Not to beat a dead horse (although I fucking love beating horses), but I’m headed to the airport in about an hour from now, and will be “on vacation” until I return to Santa Monica a week from today.

Tomorrow’s episode is slotted and ready to go. If all goes according to plan, the video will auto-publish at 9a PT on YouTube, per usual, and threads will automatically pop here on Patreon with the video (in the morning) and the a...

Colin's Last Stand, Episode 30 (Audio)

What Happened at Dunkirk?

Been Experimenting With the Shot...

Hey,

Based on your feedback about the look of Episode 30, and how the mic was in my face, I was doing some experimentation today on camera angles, and how to keep the mic away from my face some while still maintaining good-sounding audio. This is what I came up with.

Note that I had to jack the audio recording up from 80 to 99 in order to do this, but I think it works, and I also think it'll make me a little louder generally, as some people complained about that as well.

As usual...

Colin's Last Stand, Episode 30: What Happened at Dunkirk?

An episode so many of you asked for.

An Audio Sample (+ Visual)

Hey All,

I just thought I'd give you a sneak peek at tomorrow's episode, simply to give you a look at (and listen to) the new audio quality, and the trade-off that I decided to make in order to achieve it.

So, the 22 second clip I'm sharing is the actual first 22 seconds of tomorrow's all-new episode. Lemme know if you think it sounds better!

The attached picture is how the "shot" will now look. A mic (and pop filter!) are now in my face, mostly obscuring my mouth. Because t...

News Burst: July 15, 2017

Hello!

Happy weekend to you all! I hope today’s News Burst finds you very well.

Before we get into today’s three stories, I wanted to gently remind you that this coming week (along with Episode 30 on Monday and Episode 31 on Thursday) will be the last week (and episodes) before my one week vacation. I’m looking forward to getting away for a little while! More to the point, though, I’m really looking forward to spending time with my brother and dad. The three of us haven’t spen...

There's no time like the present.

Maybe Watch This Documentary: Nobody Speak

Hey All,

With tomorrow morning's episode locked-and-loaded, I figured I'd take a quick moment to stop here through Patreon and let you know of a documentary I watched a couple of nights ago, one that a few of you recommended to me (both here and on social media), and one that I think may be worth a view.

The documentary is called Nobody Speak: Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and Trials of a Free Press, and it's about -- as you may have guessed -- Gawker's trial with Hulk Hogan ...

News Burst: July 11, 2017

Hi!

I hope you’re all doing fantastic. I was going to actually wait and do a News Burst tomorrow, but since there’s an especially interesting and tantalizing story currently brewing, I figured now would be a better time to strike.

There’s little else to report on my end, other than to gently remind y’all that, as announced a month or so ago, I will be going on vacation in a week. I’ll be in New York and Pennsylvania from July 19th through July 26th, and there will be no new ep...

Colin's Last Stand, Episode 28 (Audio)

It's Time to Legalize (and Normalize) Prostitution!

(P.S. I got so distracted recording and editing the Q&A last night that I spaced on putting this up. It's totally late, and it's completely my fault. I apologize.)

Colin's Last Stand, Episode 28: It's Time to Legalize (and Normalize) Prostitution

It's all upside for everyone involved: prostitute, john, government, and society alike.

Watch This Documentary: The Red Pill

Hey,

I know I'm woefully behind on this one, but I finally got a chance to watch all of The Red Pill, the documentary about feminism and men's rights activism.

I'm pretty sure most of you have seen this one already, but just in case you haven't, I highly recommend it. I don't agree with all of what's said and presented, but I definitely agree with some of it, and either way, I thought it was thought-provoking and fair.

(It's free to stream via Amazon Prime in the US.)

A Quick Note to All Patrons

Hey All,

I hope this brief note finds you well!

I wanted to say two (not-so)-quick things:

1.) I read everything you guys and gals write here on Patreon (and I respond to pretty much all of it), and occasionally, I see a post from someone asking a specific Patreon-related question, curious where X or Y perks are, or whatever else.

I'm happy to answer those inquiries as I see them, but if you want a quicker answer, please feel free to reach out directly via Patreon's m...

News Burst: July 08, 2017

Hey All,

I hope you’re doing fantastic, and that this News Burst finds you well.

I’m currently toiling away on Monday’s episode of CLS, which will tackle an issue that I think isn’t thought about or spoken about nearly enough. I’m not sure if y’all will like it or not; you, as always, will be the judge. I can never tell how my videos will do. I thought the last one would kill, and it wasn’t very popular (view-wise) at all. C’est la vie!

Have a great rest of your we...
