A second ama has hit Hexbear. Neverforget 9/28

Ask him if he's brave enough to be the first big podcaster to namedrop Hexbear.

He's back to talk to us losers? Wow lol, that's actually cool.
- I read this as Trump reacting to RBG’s death

Going to again ask whether he finds Hakim, or Yugopnik, cuter
- He wriggled out of it the last time you asked, there's no getting out of it this time

Time to come up with the most baffling take on the most niche piece of theory I can find. Gonna be real BMF hours

I came here for JT initially, and finally getting to ask him something will make my history full circle...
- Ask him if you should get a sick mohawk
  
  Is that relevant to anything or something? Anyways, besides that, I could ask him what is Chomsky, because its like 3 or more people wrote down his political beliefs for him, as an anarchist, a liberal, and of course, l'ebil 'tankie'... where it feels like it should all contradict...
  
  As a mohawk haver, everyone should get one

Very excited to have him back.
- How do these work? Will he just make a big post and reply to any comments?
  
  yes

Oh fuck yeah he talked to me about my corgis last time, can't wait to give him and update!
- Da faq? I thought you are the corgi... Do you have like corgi slaves or something?
  
  Not slaves, comrades (and little snuggly wunpkins)

Hi JT

I'll ask him "WTF is wrong with you for doing this again"
jk, though i wonder the value of someone new coming into the youtube or general internet media space to advocate for leftism, cause it seemed to have gone as far as it could ever be allowed to.

He's definitely a lurker if he's coming back.
- lol that was my thoughts exactly. His last ama was only 9 months ago and now he's doing another right after federation. Mans definitely lurkin here
  
  bet he haunts the News Mega
- I know they've brought up the Deprogram sub-
  on the pod before, but IDK about hexbear. I'm guessing just one of the mods here has contacted him before and thus has a contact.

For those who are curious, here is the previous AMA: https://hexbear.net/post/240228

hex yea can we get Hakim 🙏
- Would be very cool.
- Fr tho. We need Hakim to respond to every question with a book he's read that perfectly answers the question.

Asking my question now because fuck the rules.
Should I or should I not date a girl with this tattoo.

She says she's a communist and quoted Lenin once. Need an answer quick before she finishes her set here. She said I could post while she does 200 pushups so I wouldn't distract her.
- This is just a humblebrag

Gonna update JT on my latest "blasting The Deprogram in public incident".
- Mad lad!
  
  Sitting in my work van with the window down during my lunch break listening to Hakim describe his latest patients balls is basically a daily occurence at this point.

- Yes! Do feel free to join in and ask anything at all :3 Second Thought has 1.6million subscribers and not only is this a fun way to do interview content for the communities and fans of these channels but it's a great way to spread Lemmy further.
  Make them fun enough and it will attract more.
- We're kind of a big deal.

Time to be the very best of hexbear....

Im also doing my AMA at the same time just if anyone wants to know

Holy shit he's coming back??? He loves us that much??? 🥹🥹🥹

More like Second Thot, am I right? 🥵🥵🥵

I helped get this setup a little bit, really excited to see it's working out!!!

Confirmation that you're called Jecond Thought Chapman

I will be on my best behavior. Also, OP, don't forget the new First Thought channel.

Fuck, I have an exam during the AMA.
- He stuck around coming back to answer questions on and off for most of the day last time so I wouldn't worry too much.
- Me too :(

If we can get enough top ten channels to do Second Thought style pivots into skillfully produced propaganda, gen alpha will lead the revolution from the trenches of the playground.

post a link to the old AMA for people wandering in from other instances

i wonder if we can bully him into getting Hakim to come here

How do these work? Will he just make a big post and reply to any comments?
- that depends; will your comment be any good or will you look like a damnable fool?
  
  All my comments will be foolish
- That's what he did last time so probably yeah

Nice, last time I asked him a really stupid and pointless question that he answered anyway
Now I can ask him the good question I thought of afterwards, if I can remember it
- https://hexbear.net/comment/3081811

Oh yay, I missed the first one and couldn’t even find a link to it. Should be fun!
- How do these work? Will he just make a big post and reply to any comments?
  
  Basically, yeah. Someone posts a thread at a prearranged time, the hogs pile in with our questions and fan squeeeing, a good time is had by all (usually).
  Were you never on reddit? AMAs were pretty ubiquitous. If you were never on reddit, kudos to you. You missed nothing.

I tried to think of something to ask last time and couldn't. And I can't think of anything again, so I'll just enjoy reading the AMA. Cool of JT to comeback.

omg might be able to do this one i think i'm going to be off work this time

The first time this happened I asked him his opinion on femboys and the comment got removed smh
\
- I didn't remove it! I'm sure his opinion on femboys is great.

Now when can we drag Hakim from the basement to interrogate...

Wow congrats. Sweet grab.

@Awoo@hexbear.net we should xpost this on main lemmy instance somewhere.
- Agree, a couple days out from the actual ama and on the day at time of announcement.
  EDIT: Oh you mean direct crosspost, yeah makes sense. I meant a new post altogether that wouldn't be defederated from other spaces.

Have you ever eaten at a Culver's? How would you stack it up versus Whataburger, if so?
- Don't ask him now ask him in one week when he's here!
  For now simply sufficiently hype this so the libs see it and get upset.
- Culver’s has some good onion rings

And remember that this is also when the new Castlevania drops and the new head writer is a comrade!
- Oh really!! That is great! I love Castlevania!!!

Hell yeah

How do we know its actually JT lol
- I know you're joking but just in case others wonder - the discord account we're in touch with him through owns the discord linked to his patreon.
- he did an AMA here before and yugopnik showed up to hire a user as his editor

Getting breaking news that Roderic Day is hosting an AMA here at the same time as JTs.
- This is not the way that I hope for a favorite author of mine to remind me of Schopenhauer.

Awesome.
I'm in the Second Thought server as well.
You can join for only $2.

What are their thoughts om small burrowing owls?

I'm gonna ask him if Texans always drive like they are fleeing a nuclear strike ....cause they almost killed me and my family
- I’ve driven in Orlando, Miami, Chicago and Lima (Peru) and never did I fear more for my life than when drove in Dallas

im going to ask him about the CPP again

Im gonna miss this one too AHHHH

I'm hyped...
- How does this work?

How does I Vegito ask a question
- When the ama starts tomorrow you'll be able to in the new stickied thread that will be made for it.
