So for the first day Matt Delanti versus andrew wilson on Whether or not christianity or secular humanism provides a better foundation for ethics You don't want to miss that one. It's going to be our main event. It's going to be huge as well as this is one where I'm like I can't call it the main event because this is also the main event Believe it would and aren't raw. We'll be debating whether or not naturalism is true That's going to be a main event as well. I feel like these are two huge debates. I'm really excited. You guys seriously It's going to be awesome As well as Eric Hernandez versus leo On whether or not there is a single so a brand new topic. I don't know. I think we've hosted it like once so That one we haven't hosted that in a long time. So yeah, these are there a lot. I think all these topics So far This is the first time we've hosted them at an in-person conference So all the topics so far Are new in fact even this one so David wood versus isa cabrera So isa you can see they're on the right side of the screen just below orange picture So i'm pointing right there you go. There is isa right if you see my finger Is isa will be debating david wood on whether or not Muhammad was a true prophet. So it's going to be controversial. Like believe me that's probably going to be a spicy debate and As you can see the bottom right of your screen. What's it gets it will be debating leo You don't want to miss this one. It is going to be amazing. Hey Thanks for coming right and sit there in the old live chat. Thanks for your super chat. Appreciate that first for your support and Yes, it is going to be huge you guys. We're excited about that And i'm going to tell you though Not only that Then let's go over to the next day. First i'm going to say hello to the more of you in the live chat Thanks for coming by okay then to do okay as well as copper And size zone now. Thanks for coming by this rock on james More was excellent and well earned. Thanks for your support Tell you folks bob I mean Saichu nav is his name not bob Saichu nav Does i think people know that's your real name, but so bob he is Saichu nav aka bob Is the reason these conferences happen no joke I'm dead serious because when we had our first debate con because before that we would once in a while Like a one-off debate, you know what i mean where it was like, you know We hosted like david wood and matt delanti once that was like at the very start of the pandemic you guys remember that Uh, I remember it was like march 20th or so it was like right as everything was closing down I remember my flight there was like Uh, there were like four people on the plane. It was nuts But we never did conferences like this and this these conferences We found like hey like this is a great idea This really works for modern day debate and I never would have been able to get this off the ground Uh, if it wasn't for bob like basically getting it off the ground and me kind of like learning from bob bob taught me how to use event bright bob taught me about negotiating with hotels like hey if we're renting 10 rooms from you guys Can you guys help us and give us a lower rate or maybe a complementary room? so things like that that bob maybe didn't even know that I like He taught me explicitly like event bright and then I the way he like told me how he did these things I was like, okay, that's how it's okay. Cool. So I gotta say bob is a huge reason not not only that But like people like chris gammon who you see in live chat sometimes brian Ryan is now going to come to the next conference Uh, yeah brian or I should say all over cat well There are so many people that made these conferences possible I just never would have been able to do it because like it's just too much I just don't have the bandwidth, but I'm so grateful that everybody else like chipped in and and light hands make many work light work Many hands make light work Now on the far or I should say on the right side of your screen. We're excited about this This is sunday November 5th also in Dallas, Texas now By the way, if you're like, okay jay, you told me about it. I get it Check out the description box Because you're maybe wondering like well wait, okay. Tell me more If you go into the description box, that's where you can find the link for the tickets And not only that But you can also find the link for The crowdfund So if you're like me and james, I can't watch I don't think we're gonna make it. I'm gonna be far away. Well, don't we are actually live streaming So if you're even if you're in australia, hey Conference is free for you to watch live online every single debate will be free and live for you And not just for australia. It's everybody so Not only that Wait, let's write this down really quick You might be thinking well, I'd love to be a part of this in a bigger way than just watching online The crowdfund you can support this project You donate at a certain tier you get crew perks Like for example one is you get a signed photo of your favorite speaker Or you get a free, uh, I still signed emblem page from all the debaters for that day That's if you make a donation. It's I think that one. It's like the 50 50 dollar tier donation That helps us Other comments because a lot of people don't know that these conferences are not money makers for us We have a goal of making even and if we get lucky and we have more than that We always we've always had the promise and we're always keeping the promise. We reinvest it back into the conference The last one we are still making up the funds in other words the youtube revenue was like Eventually going to get us there to where we break even but so for example like the last conference though like We're at a small loss as of right now That's why we do these crowdfunds. It's like a safety net So check out that crowdfund from indiegogo in the description box now. Let's get to the actual debate Sunday November 5th in dallas, texas You don't want to miss it anybody in the live chat. Let's see Folks anybody from dallas or I should say Anybody from texas more broadly Let me know But I gotta tell you thanks for your super chat harry p says I know a manager at hiat. I can get you a deal max Yes, I appreciate that. That's so funny. You're notice bark But yeah, I want to say thank you for your support. I gotta tell you this this is going to be huge You can see on the right side destiny versus sean Fitzgerald. This would be the main event biden or trump so Sean's not like a trump guy per se. He's kind of like, yeah, like all I'll take trump over biden But he's so you could say he's willing to defend trump and then and destiny's kind of like, yeah, I like I'll defend biden So that's going to be our main event. It's going to be huge. We're really excited about that now Actually, man, those are these guys that crazy success lately Like their channels have just been growing their communities have been growing so much So good for them. Like that's awesome. I'm gonna tell you Out of all the communities Sean's community is really supportive of us too We're gonna tell you destiny's community is like maybe the most supportive community of modern day debate out of any community like the flat earthers the You know the republicans or I don't want to say republicans, but like um the Robert Miller fans or you know, like it was that destiny's heaps have been so supportive of us So I do want to give them some huge. Thanks for them And also though, uh, you can see there Well, we know somebody be taking on some logic on whether or not the left has gone too far So that'll be a juicy and that's on social issues in particular Then you can see below though is not so early. So not so early today Yeah, tell me about playing some playing Westfire Alex who you can get the bottom right of the screen As they'll be taking on destiny and farah now farah is right above Alex's photo So as I said, Alex is on the bottom right of the screen there And then you can see far right above him and then there's crowdsource politics Okay, a cipher you see on the bottom left as her big debating Sean Fitzgerald on whether or not the left is soft on crime It's going to be huge. We're really you guys I'm excited about this I'm like, wow, this is just encouraging We're continually striving to learn from our mistakes to improve modernity debate I've learned reaper. So those of you who are audio experts Last time in the during the conference. We were using Uh I met with an an expert like margin of keys of specialists. He does it for a living in audio and last conference bar Uh What is it called garage band with software we were using as our digital audio workstation or DAW and It just wouldn't work for us that day So that day an hour before the first debate Brian was out on a run and they said bro, like we're in trouble like we're in crisis mode You gotta pick up some yet. He said just get some usb mics and we're going to try to fix like We've got to do something because we can't just delay the conference Because there's an in-person audience there too, for example. So long story short That was why we were using yet. He's the last game for instance I've learned Reaper so if you're an audio expert you probably I'm sure you know what reaper is We are going to have tremendous audio at this next conference. Believe me. It's going to be beautiful But yeah, so that's exciting. I want to say thank you guys for your support I'm just pumped. Thank you guys We're continually striving to do better and bigger things We're excited about the future as we are determined To fulfill the vision of providing youtube with a new platform so that everybody can make their case on a level planning field YouTube deserves a better class of debate channel and we're going to give it to them Modern debate is the future of youtube debating. We want to say it's all thanks to the guests Thanks to you too because seriously, we do appreciate you guys. I see how many shares there are on our videos and the creator creator studio on youtube You guys are super. I just appreciate you guys so much. Thanks for sharing About modern day debate sharing with the conferences stuff like that helping us get the word out It means more than you know And like I said, the debaters most of all are the reason that modern day debate is growing so fast and having such a Big impact is that the debaters are the lifeblood of the channel We owe these guys all these people on screen and in addition to all the other debaters That are not on screen But we we owe these people so much like we are super we're just super indebted like they've made this channel what it is And so we just want to say thank you to all of the speakers They're amazing But yeah, let me know where you're watching from in the old live chat I want to say hello to you before we wrap up I want to say we're excited about the future. We're going to keep improving. We're going to keep Thinking things making things better. There are actually a couple of improvements in addition to me learning how to use reaper Uh, which is it's just going to be so good. Our audio is going to be way better I've also learned a way that we can have a very clear beautiful screen During the conference because you notice we've used a projector. Let me know what city you're from in the live chat By the way, I'm letting you know. I'm in Fort Collins That's in Colorado. That's about an hour north of Denver is Let me know in the live chat where you're from because I was like it's cool to hear like where people are from But I gotta tell you my dear friends I forgot what I was gonna say What was I gonna say? Well, I will tell you this Oh, yeah We found a way because the projector that conference is in the past. It just wasn't a good it didn't work well in particular We had this challenge where we would have the projector on But then in order to see a projector Uh, at least our projector we'd have to dim the lights But then you can't see the speakers as well on the cameras the lighting becomes bad and they look ghoulish So then you have to turn the light on them, uh, which is It's not usually good enough because obviously like you're it's this tug of war Where like if you shine too much light now the projector gets hard to see again So we found a way thanks to Justin. So Justin if you watch this Justin is a stage manager and he's teaching us the ropes and so Justin basically explained to me like hey You go rent a monitor like good a good quality like maybe 50 inch wide monitor Like a flat screen tv You put it on a stand That is what you show the slides on so it's gonna look so much better. I'm pumped But yeah, we're in the old live chat wine is from detroit michigan.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, okay. I'm gonna turn it down pretty darn low And I think this is gonna solve the problem. So thanks for that feedback So let me know What you have going on Is I'm gonna turn this game now my gain is like quite low Whoa Wow, I actually I think this is a lot better So let me know in the old live chat What kind of audio you're getting from me now?

It's it's in london, which is really cool.
