**WARNING: ADULT LANGUAGE AND POLITICAL SATIRE**

Cool Hand James is one of my favorite comedy creators on YouTube.

He has a bloodhound's sense for grifters, and a laser-sharp targeting system on their scams. Plus a gravelly voice, a thick British accent, deadpan delivery, and a devil-may-care attitude for calling out creatures of the online ecosystem that monetize attention through manipulation.

Yes, I laughed, a lot. But James also got me thinking about how easy it is to take people seriously online who shouldn't be taken seriously at all.

In our conversation we discussed:

• His background, and how he became a comedic commentator
• The definition of grifting, and some examples like Tim Pool, Jack Murphy, Matt Walsh, and others
• The differences between American and UK politics
• Ukraine, Germany, and the EU
• Why he's a fan of trans women and not the 19th Amendment
• The story of how he got banned from YouTube for cyberbullying the president of the United States, Joe Biden.
