Hey everyone, it's Early Access Day, and it's maybe one of the more anticipated topics I've done in a while, so, let's just get to 'er. Enjoy!

Buckley covers the controversy surrounding Ed Sheeran's tour. His friend of 13 years, Macklemore, joined him for a show and IMMEDIATELY caused issues by getting "too political" for the billionaires who own the stadiums. "ahhh ya can't say 'free Palestine' no more!" So, what did Ed choose: his friend, or his wallet? GUESS! Plus: some of the funnier moments of this whole saga, since this is a COMEDY channel and all...

Never change Buckley. Big love.

It’s amazing how you always cover all areas to make sense of it all. Too bad everyone else wasn’t as level headed.

They Call Me Deano

Its been said before, They don't want to hear your opinion, they want to hear their opinions coming out of your mouth.

Yeah, it is unfortunate that most opinion-based stuff is people looking for validation instead of perspective. But that's probably always been the case... Rush Limbaugh's audience when he was the biggest talk show host in America, they listened because they already knew they'd agree with whatever he said.

I try, and I'm sure plenty of times people disagree or whatever, and sometimes I'm probably wrong, but I appreciate people like yourself who stick with it!

I’m only six years younger than you so we’re both from a similar mindset. I also discovered George Carlin when I was nine. Greatly shaped how I think about the world. As usual, keep up the great work.

I always thought it was amusing that Rushs fans listened to and believed a drug addict. Guy lost his hearing and all!

In the meantime, I am over here terribly disappointed in Jeffrey Lurie. He has a reputation as a good owner, charitable, etc etc. He better hope the fans don't notice this. Eagles fans are nobody to rile up!

The pulp fiction analogy is perfect. People are forced to take a side or have some kind of opinion, and it will inevitably lead to some group of people trying to cancel you. Hell, even saying “no opinion” isn’t good enough, as “silence is complicity” to one group. Shit, man, I’m trying to go to work and pay my bills, I don’t want to waste what little time I do have researching and having an opinion on every single thing going on in the world.

I disagree, I think more people with large platforms should speak on this issues as I can move the conversation in a big way. People who want peace on that region are already being silenced by Billionaires and we are tired of it.

A Dose of Buckley

While I don't PARTICULARLY have an issue with "people with big platforms speaking on issues", I think it's fine if they're educated and actually care (and helps if they're actually doing SOMETHING, not just saying words, Macklemore OR Ed Sheeran saying "Free Palestine" does absolutely nothing in my opinion, does as much as if I were to say "we need to end child homelessness" but I never donate a penny or volunteer in any way). HOWEVER, I don't think people with large platforms should be FORCED to speak on issues, forced to provide an opinion, especially when they are uneducated about it and are also not inherently political. While some may believe "all art is political", I would argue that I don't care what the creator of "Dog with a Blog" thinks about who should control a strip of land somewhere.

I think if we care what some public figures think, we gotta go all the way. Look up every celebrity you follow on Instagram, every Youtuber you watch, every author of every book you might read, every actor in every TV show/movie you watch, every musician in every song in your library!
