He's been MIA since late Aug.

So @ElijahSchaffer was always nice to me and I never had a bad interaction with him. It's not my place to discuss why he was terminated although I suspect it will be out sooner than later.I wish him all the best and that's all I'll say on it.

Was it the gay orgies?

It’s the Blaze we’re talking about, those should have gotten him promoted.

The Quartering has partnered for a weekly livestream with Elijah's former podcast host Sidney Watson, who abruptly left and killed their Blaze show under mysterious circumstances.

I suspect Jeremy is doing some simping and white knighting here over some behind the scenes drama.

Would that be the same Sidney that infamously asked Jack Murphy a simple question that triggered him so badly it caused him to destroy his own career?

If you mean Sydney then yes.

I fear the internet will never recognize and credit the legendary commenter whose $5 superchat set the whole thing off- MrDickAndBalls, or maybe MrDickNBalls, not sure how it's spelt.

Mister Dick and Balls asks, would you please explain the cucked article you wrote?

meltdown ensues

That's her.

She went into some vague details (still an NDA involved) that implied Elijah would constantly change their topics at the last minute and be a total pain to work with, etc.

Interesting, I hadn't heard that account.

Still seems pretty weak sauce to ruin a decent podcast over petty bickering if that's the case.

I feel like she got too much benefit of the doubt and zero scrutiny from her beta orbiters simply because she's pretty and somewhat based.

I think the grind of a 2 hr livestream 5 days a week was also a factor, she was used to pre-recording videos after spending a lot of time researching- live "TV" is very different and running a somewhat organized show with programming blocks, guests, etc is different than just hopping on a friend's livestream.

She was also dealing with personal issues like covid restrictions blocking her from seeing her family for 2+ yrs.

Elijah was also going off the rails on the show repeatedly, launching into >20 min diatribes about Jesus and whatever.

I think the most she talked about it was on Blaire White's new podcast. Only heard pieces of her weekly livestreaming w/ Quartering so don't know what she's discussed on there.

I watched a few episodes of her livestreams with the Quartering, but I don't recall the two of them even acknowledging the Blaze or her old show's existence.

Of course, Jeremy is as milquetoast as they come and is always being a good boy so he doesn't anger his YT cashcow overlords.

I suppose I don't have anything specifically against Watson. I still reflexively blamed her for the demise of the You Are Here podcast that I watched a few times casually. But I suppose I don't actually have any details or evidence.

I also know next to nothing about Schaffer other than his 5 hour sloppy drunk Rekieta appearance. My memory is mostly Elijah complaining that he felt really stifled by the Blaze's format and longed to let her rip like he did on Nick's platform.

Schaffer had a drunk tell-all appearance on Nick Rekieta's YT show a few months back right before Sidney Watson abruptly left their Blaze podcast.

I don't remember any specific things revealed, but I think Nick, who holds his liquor a lot better, was genuinely worried that Schaffer was going to get himself in trouble.

Sounds like it’s his anti Mormon thing, since Beck is a Mormon

Maybe he was making anti-Mormon comments behind the scenes but his Twitter "war" (ie Glenn responded, Elijah replied back and that was it) was a while ago.

Elijah went dead end of Aug, his Mormon tweet was mid-May.

Is it still #metoo if you actually provide receipts?

A don't know how it works in practice but officially Beck isn't in charge of Blaze.

Is the "don't deify political commentators" lesson in Lauren Southern's case supposed to be not to trust Milo/Ezra Levant/Paul Joseph Watson types or not to trust female eye candy like Southern herself? Or both?
