This has got to be a really wild way to start a Friday morning.
You know, you're getting up, you're going to have a cup of coffee, you've got bags under your eyes, you're ready to go to work, and then you turn on The Culture War and Alex Dine and Tyler Fisher are sitting here and... AHH!
Well, I'm the pimp on a blimp, and I didn't want to tell you this, Tim, and I didn't want to tell you this, Tyler, but I'm actually suing the Daily Wire, because if you know, you probably don't know this, Tim, but you know the main character in their movie is named Alex.
I think they went at- I don't know exactly who the comedian was, but they offered it to a very famous comedian.
And he said no, and then I thought they wrote the role for me.
I was recording, I go, wow, I'm so honored, you know, you took this, you know, you were inspired by, I do this like woke man bun guy, and he goes, I've never heard of you.
Well, so let's talk about The core here with the movie and even with what you're bringing up with this it's You know, is Lady Ballers 2 on the nose, right?
So if you look at Lady Ballers, I think if it were made in the 2000s, it would just be considered normal comedy.
The underlying premise of this being men competing in women's sports turns it into a political statement, which it's like, after what is a woman, it kind of is, right?
It was funny because I was just watching It's Always Sunny yesterday, the old season episode where Dee is an extra and she's playing a corpse in a Serbian genocide movie, but she keeps trying to like pose for the camera.
And then type in this, you'll see me, I'm in the thumbnail.
You can type, go to The Office and type in Michael Scott's last scene and you'll see me standing next to Michael Scott, but my point is I didn't have a job so I moved to LA and my buddy's like, you should go to Central Casting.
Then I worked as an extra for like four or five months and then I got a job as a production assistant on some Food Network shows and you know, it just kind of... I booked a T.J.R.
Yeah, so when I started there, basically my negotiation was, look, I do live coverage, but I don't do documentary stuff.
I need someone to help me with the other side of things.
So if I go out and livestream this big news event, can you send a camera guy to film me doing it?
We can make a mini doc that captures, and then we have the live coverage at the same time.
It's like two birds with one stone.
They said yes.
And then eventually, I do think it's fair to say I had no experience doing doc stuff, and so I'm not gonna pretend like I was the greatest person for the job.
But that was basically, look, I'll give you groundbreaking news coverage, you get me these docs, and then I was explicitly told by a guy, look, you know, they want diverse cast and... Yeah, they're racist.
And I'm like, I'm like, my friend, my friend, I am mixed race.
And they said, doesn't matter, you don't look enough.
It's funny you guys say this, and I don't even know if you've known this, Tim, but I actually worked for the TV show Cheaters for eight years.
We catch people cheating on their husbands and wives.
I signed an NDA, so I can only say so much about it, but it's a reality show, you know, so you know how that goes, how real those are.
But my point is, the host was a guy by the name of Clark Gable.
His grandfather was Clark Gable from Gone with the Wind, the famous actor.
He died of a fentanyl overdose.
Literally, he had a prescription for pain pills, ran out of them, so he went and bought pills on the street, had fentanyl in it.
He took two pills, died in bed with his wife, or his fiancée at the time, and his 19-month-old baby.
And the guy that owns it, this guy named Bobby Goldstein, he loved me.
He's like, Alex, you're going to be the next host of the show.
I got in really good shape.
Right when we were about to start the new season, the show's distributed by Viacom, which owns CMT, VH1, and MTV.
They said, you're not going to be the host anymore.
You can still be one of the producers.
We're going to go with this guy named Peter Gunz.
Who's a black dude and the reason why I know he was an affirmative action hire, they made him change his name to Peter Pankey because they didn't want to glamorize gun violence.
So basically, you know, you get this moment where you snapped and you're, you just, you're punching holes in walls and you're, and this is what made Alex.
I mean, this is like a super villain origin story, I suppose.
This is what happens with like moderate liberal individuals, or I should say like classically liberal, not necessarily like libertarian in terms of economics or anything, but you get these regular folks, I think people kind of where we are politically, where we're like, hey man, you know, it doesn't matter what your race is, you know, we're all here to live and work together, we want to be friends.
And then what happens is someone proposes a law and says you shouldn't be able to discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, and Good, rational people are like, yeah, you shouldn't be able to do that.
I mean, that's messed up that someone would fire someone for their race.
The problem is the people who aligned with that view were secretly saying, we just hate white people.
And so what happens is you get this coalition of left liberal saying, hey, no more racism or whatever, however you want to describe it.
And then as soon as that law is in place, the left says, okay, now no white people either.
And so now those who are in the middle, like us, who are just, hey, racism is bad.
I don't care who you're attacking based on the color of their skin or whatever.
It's not a good thing.
Now you have the left being like, nah, we were always okay with it.
We just manipulated you to gain power and swing the pendulum in our direction.
Because, you know, I've debated people on this, whether systemic racism exists and I've debated, you know, white guys, you know, the system, I do believe that we have systemic racism, especially against black people in the past.
But when I argued with him, he's like, no, that's not, it's not true.
We've never been racist to Indians or black people and all this stuff.
But then if you tell that same person, are we systemically racist to white people now?
He's like, yes, we are!
So I'm like, so you don't think in the past you could have been systemically racist towards other, you know, races?
Because it was supposed to mean like a root structure that has racist, you know, so you take like, actually think about it this way, a blotch of paint I'm saying that in court.
And when you take the brush and drag it out, it eventually fades out, but there's still streaks of racism going to the far edge of the paper, right? - I'm saying that in court.
But it's funny how we're, I feel like the classically liberal position, and classical liberal does not mean liberals in the United States traditionally.
That's totally different.
I'm talking about like live and let live mentality.
This is why I absolutely, this is what really triggers me my whole life with the modern growing of the left and everything because my family literally having like, my mom is Park Korean, my dad is white, and then all of a sudden I'm hearing all these narratives about affirmative action and stuff.
My dad gets denied promotions as a firefighter because of affirmative action.
And so my family, we're lower class, struggling to get by, mixed race and all that, are struggling And I'm just like, how is it that they're going to take opportunities from my dad, who is a component of what they claim to want?
This multicultural, you know, thing.
And what really bothers me is now with you have like the critical race theorists.
Derek Ballant, for instance, they believe in racial segregation.
And so, you have these people who claim that they want the Great Melting Pot, they want to end miscegenation, and then two generations later, here I am, and they're like, you shouldn't exist.
Your parents should have been separated because they're different races.
Well, and we talk about race a lot, but I honestly think it's the nuclear family too, you know, because like there's a lot of black guys that, you know, if you're born without a dad in the household, it doesn't matter your skin color, you know, you're going to just have no male influence, I think, to help guide you in life.
So I think that's, it's not necessarily all black or white.
I think a lot of it is like the family structure.
And then also it's the fact that they're getting rid of the middle class.
We basically don't have a middle class anymore.
So you're either just super poor, you're super rich.
So, How do you function in society if you have no money, you don't have any power, you have no control?
I mean, look, we'll get more and more political with it.
Which political faction in the past few years was supporting the largest transfer of wealth to the ultra-elites?
It was the Democrat voter base, with the mandates, the lockdowns, the no-liability contracts for large pharmaceuticals.
With the stimulus and all that stuff, the extraction of wealth, the destruction of small businesses, it's wild to me that the people who are... This is why I just see so much evil here.
They claim to say, oh, we hate racism, and then they enact policies segregating by race.
They claim to support women, and then they say, but males can enter women's spaces.
They claim to... Like, all of these things they claim to support, they're doing the inverse of.
They claim to support the working class, and they support policies that destroy mom-and-pop shop businesses.
So during the lockdowns, these blue states are doing this.
People gotta understand, if you own a restaurant, and a lot of people probably experience this, you've got $20,000 worth of food product in your refrigerators.
They shut you down, it spoils, you ain't getting that 20 grand back.
You're done.
Your business is gone.
What happens?
The mom-and-pop store selling seeds closes down, but they let, you know, like in Michigan, they let Walmart stay open.
The largest transfer of wealth.
And it was, for whatever reason, it's the right saying, hey, stop doing this, and the left being like, no, we probably should keep doing it.
Yeah, but our country's being run by multinational corporations.
It's not even human beings.
I mean, Walmart... No, seriously!
I know, I know, it's funny!
I mean, literally, like, if I tried to get something done in Congress, I would never... I wouldn't have a shot.
But if I was Raytheon or Halliburton, they can go in there and just pick and choose and get whatever vote or whatever they need to do to get it done, so... I mean, I feel like the funny thing is actually Raytheon has to negotiate with Walmart to get a bill passed.
But it is, because you've got these big corporations, not to call them out specifically, because I don't know their exact details, so let's just say, hypothetically, Corporation A funds a lobby for Politician 1, and then Corporation B funds lobbies for Politician 2, and then those two corporations are like, wait, wait, hold on, we're funding these two politicians that are about to go head-to-head in Congress, so those corporations probably meet and be like, okay, so we're getting behind this one guy and he wants to do these bills, is that going to interrupt your stuff?
Well, it just shows you that we, they give us the illusion that we have control and power and they're voting right or left, but like I just said, I just think it's the multinational corporations that are really calling the shots.
And someone asked us this the other night on IRL, Tim Guest's IRL.
Kimmel and Fallon, these YouTube videos get millions of views, and they're like, how is that possible?
Who's watching?
I'm like, no, no, no, nobody.
But YouTube puts it on the front page no matter what.
They make sure it exists.
It's the narrative machine.
Even though, this is wild, you can have people who, like you mentioned, build up their own brands and build up the following, proving the merit of their talent.
And YouTube's like, we'd rather just put Colbert there.
People are extremely active on the left and the right.
The people who are not particularly active tend to be slightly older, but the younger generations are very active.
Look, Hasan is like one of the biggest live streamers, period.
Not just for a left-wing commentator.
And it is politics.
We have consistently, if you go Monday through Friday, 8 p.m., if you go to youtube.com slash live, the most viewed live show is Timcast IRL, politics, news, and culture.
I mean, that's kind of crazy.
I didn't believe, someone told me that and I was like, no, it's gotta be a video game or something.
No, it's us.
So what I see with Disney is, and with things like Lady Ballers, so I was talking to Ryan Long about this before the show last night, This is, I think the future is going to be, it's, I don't know for how long, but the market is going to sort of digitize into a bunch of smaller markets.
And they only need 70,000 of those people to sign up as new members to watch the movie.
And then on average, I don't know what their average turns out to be for daily wire.
I think they're actually like 13 bucks.
So it's a little bit, they need less than that.
They may only need like 50,000 people.
But for a network with You know, 30 million fans and like combined all the different followers and all their personalities saying sign up to watch the movie.
This is what everybody says because we've been talking about this one was the last comedy film Yeah, everybody asked they're like Ted to and I'm like it's great it.
Yeah, it's true Yeah, but if you look at the movies of the 90s, you know We were just saying this like Shawshank Redemption all these like great movies.
I think last year other than Top Gun I think Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was the highest grossing film Last year, I believe Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
I mean, where are we as a society where that's the number?
Oh and Bottoms, number 16, so that's a movie with Marshawn Lynch and that's a movie, it's about America, it's an American Pie version of girls trying to lose their virginity and Marshawn Lynch, who I got in a big fight with at a Las Vegas casino recently, he's in the movie and if you watch the trailer, Tim, it's the Grisha's trailer, he's like, Y'all don't know how to lick the lasagna.
Y'all don't know how to... And he's talking to... These are... It's like American Pie.
These are high school girls that want to lose their virginity.
Look, man, this is why The way I described it is Jeremy Boring's riding a moped behind these tractor trailers that are throwing gold off the back of the truck.
And he's just catching them and putting them in his little sidecar.
Jeremy's a smart, brilliant guy.
That Together Again song is fantastic.
It looks like he's a great actor as well, running a successful company.
But I just said it was going to happen Sometime anyways, yeah with all these new fake rules that you have to follow I was like it doesn't matter if it was that tweet or another thing or another thing By the time the vaccine mandates came out.
She would have she would have lost everything on that good point Yeah, she she turned we weren't even supposed to do terror on the prairie.
She had another film slated and She said I'm not doing the vaccine mandate.
See, SAG does such a great job of hiding the fact that you can do non-union by joining something called FICOR.
You hand in your SAG card, which means you don't have a physical card, you don't get the stupid DVDs, which everyone throws out, and you can't vote on whatever Crap they're doing.
You can do a non-union film and still be represented by SAG.
And so, but this is why when I'm looking at like Lady Balls, for instance, again, I was talking with Ryan Long yesterday, and I was saying, I think we are going to see niche market films with great quality because Daily Wire only needs 70,000.
Again, that number is higher than actually, maybe 50,000.
To actually pay to watch the movie, and they've paid for the movie!
You know, so we're looking at these big films where they're like, we gotta make hundreds of millions of dollars, and I'm like, the issue with memberships is that one person becomes actually ten ticket sales instead of one because they're here for the whole ride.
So now we're gonna end up seeing like, we, Timcast could fund a movie and be like, I don't know, like if we did a really low budget film or something, I mean, Clerks was super low budget, you can do comedies for cheap, All we got to do is a couple thousand people to sign up and then we funded movies.
We could just start cranking these things out.
We could make them.
Granted, I don't want to just start cranking things out.
We want to get good talent.
We want to get good filming and everything like that.
But I think we're going to see a lot more of this.
Take a look at music, for instance, right now.
Sure, Taylor Swift is really big.
And then you get this moment where they're like, every one of her songs is in the Billboard Top 17 or whatever, and I'm like, yeah, but that's because they just put her music on these digital streaming platforms.
The average person is listening to mid-level bands.
You know, when you go onto Spotify or Pandora, whatever music service, YouTube Music, the bands you're listening to...
They're not the biggest bands in the world.
A lot of people do listen to big stuff.
They listen to big famous people.
Everybody's got maybe like some Post Malone or something.
But then a lot of the music is actually smaller bands that are in rotation for them.
They used to do military experiments where they'd get soldiers and they'd give them like LSD and marijuana and they'd have them listen to music and they would see like how their pupils dilate, how their body, if they want to dance, this and that.
So there is a conspiracy that they actually have like a formula that Taylor Swift uses or these, you know, whatever these big time producers use, where they know it's going to be pleasurable to our ears.
And that's why she's able to constantly do so many hit songs.
Have you ever heard that conspiracy, Tim, that there is like a formula?
And the song he wrote, the lyrics are explaining what he's doing.
So, they have AI that can make pop music.
There's actually services where you can make, like, say, here's the song I want, here's the speed I want, here's the style, and it'll render a song for you.
No, no, I'm just saying that like they actually have science, you know, there's a musical science to it and that's why Taylor Swift has 25 hits and why, you know, mid-level bands don't have that, whatever, WHO LET THE DOGS OUT, you know, or whatever, some hit song, you know, that there's something in these songs.
I'm trying to think, like, Psy, remember that song?
Because the meritocracy of upvoting what was good and downvoting what was bad.
And so I remember when Gangnam Style hit the front page of Reddit and I saw it probably like when it only had a few hundred thousand views and then it starts popping up over and over again.
Everyone's sharing it and I'm like, oh, this is hilarious.
I'm hanging out with my friends in LA and we're doing the dance like we're goofing off and we're like we were crossing the street we are going to a shabu shabu house I think it was what it's called where they boil the food in front of you and then like I'm crossing the street and I did the horse thing as a gag to my friends thinking like nobody nobody knew what it was and a guy honked his horn at me it was like yeah!
And I was like okay this is getting weird but here's the wild thing about what Reddit used to be And I don't know if this is how they did it, but you take, someone wrote a paper about this.
Back in the day, when Reddit had a default front page, and maybe it still functions this way to a certain degree, you post a video, then you get 10 different phones that are logged into 10 different accounts, and you upvote all of those, you have them all upload that video, so that instantly jumps the algorithm.
And then each of those phones downvotes all of the other Videos around it and then instantly it's on the front page and it's getting thousands or whatever, whatever hits.
And so you have to imagine if some random dude on the internet wrote this up and made a video about it, the intelligence agencies understood how to gamify social media and do all this stuff.
I guess you'd kind of describe it like a message board, but you can upvote and downvote the messages so you'll see what's popular and what- but it's just, a lot of people have Reddits, like there used to be an Opie and Anthony Reddit for the show, the Opie and Anthony show.
Oh yeah, yeah.
And this was supposedly the most toxic Reddit ever.
There was actually one of them- That I would go on.
Yeah, exactly.
But one of the moderators in the Reddit, and Anthony Kumi has shared this later, was a guy that shoplifted from a Walmart, he was in an open Jeep, drove away from the cops, and his baby fell out of the car and died.
And he didn't even go and help the baby, he still tried to run his own baby.
And this is one of the head mods of this Reddit, Opie and Anthony.
I'm just saying this is like how toxic I just use as an example Anthony always shares that that guy went to jail because he hated him because the reddit if you're an opiate Anthony read it or you're the Howard Stern read it it's all hate right it's not support so reddit is but that's great publicity you know yeah it is it is but it like I said if you read reddit dude it's all like oh F you this person sucks he's it's just not a very positive fun place to say the least I'm pretty sure it's fair to say it's the opposite of positive.
And I think that's kind of where we are, like, our culture is, where people like to be nasty to other people.
Like, this is what I'm trying to articulate, is that- Shut the fuck up.
No, no, no, but I like that.
Is I have, I've had OnlyFans models on my show, and I'm not saying OnlyFans is good, it's terrible for society, but really, I'm a libertarian in my mindset.
If you're an adult, whatever, you want to be a whore on the internet, But I also was on a podcast, Chrissy Mayer's podcast, and Brandy Love was on there.
She's the 14th-ranked porn star on Pornhub.
And she's like, the whore is here, and I called her a whore.
And this video went viral, because I was like, oh, you're a whore, and then she got mad that I called her a whore, this and that.
So my point is, people get so mad when I'm nice to an OnlyFans model, but they loved it when I called this porn star a whore.
People loved it.
And a guy came up to me at a comedy show, and he's like, Alex, you know, I just was so mad.
You were so nice at OnlyFans Model, but you were, when you were mean to Brandy Love, I love that.
And I asked, I'm like, dude, why do you like it when guys get mad at women?
And he's like, well, I'm a virgin, I'm 30 years old, and I've never been laid.
And it's just, I like it.
You're speaking for us when you call out these women.
So I think that's weird in society where, even on the right wing, they love to call out women.
When you go on dating apps, So I don't know about Tinder or whatever, I haven't used a dating app in 10 years or whatever, but don't they have height as like a form?
So it's like, when you're filling it out, like your age- It's one of the first things that you see is the height.
Right, it's not that people, I think on Tinder, you just fill out your bio and include your height, but aren't there some where it's like, what's your name, your age, your height, your occupation?
Is it height included in the form of like a default thing to ask for?
Well, Lil Duval says that, that comedian, he's the small black comedian, he's like, yeah, tall people, tall, in words, don't live, is what he said in his video.
Towards the end of Venge of the Nerds, lead nerd Louis sees his crush Betty fighting with her boyfriend Stan and decides to take advantage of the opening.
Louis steals Stan's Darth Vader mask and follows Betty into a funhouse, where they proceed to have sex.
When Betty asks him to take off the mask, he declines, until afterwards when he reveals that he's not Stan after all.
But I am worried about, are we going to start going after comedians?
I mean, look, you have comedians making crass, crude, and offensive comedy because we understand the joke is that it's so offensive and shockingly egregious, it's not true.
No, see, this is another thing is Howard Stern, he sucks now, but I'm a Howard Stern, you know, just obsessed with him when I was younger.
And he used to always have Daniel Carver, who is the leader of the KKK, Grand Wizard, and he would lampoon him.
He would like talk about, he would just, you know, say the most disgusting racist stuff.
But if you hear it, it was funny.
I don't think we should censor anything.
I hate that we don't have that dialogue.
If somebody has the most repugnant views, we should talk to them so we can see that we don't like their views, instead of hiding and becoming so politically correct.
It's more if the big tech companies censor it and take it down.
That's the problem.
I can get on stage and say anything I want.
But if I put the clip online and they go, "Nah, can't make a COVID joke during this period of time." Or, "You can't do this." Or, "I know someone got a Netflix special and Netflix said, "We'll give you the special.
You can't make any COVID jokes." And I just thought...
And then I forget whoever showed at Netflix, there's a meme going around where he took a selfie of him mailing out the first Netflix DVD.
And it's insane.
I remember when Netflix came out, I got it.
You know, when you'd mail in the DVDs and you'd pick, you'd have a list, like you'd be like, you know, your top 10 movies and you didn't know which one they were going to send you.
I knew that was the beginning of the end because my favorite thing was going with my friends to Blockbuster and you get to go and you see the covers and you sneak in that the x-rated booth in the back and it was like an adventure man.
The Hollywood store had like this, by me, you have the video section, and then there's this like metal framed gateway into another portion of the building, separating the video games from the movies.
Oh, video games.
And then I'm all excited for the new SNES game, I'm gonna rent Mega Man X3, gonna play it.
I remember I rented this game where you're like a possum, and you got like a sword or something, I don't even know what's going on.
It was so much fun to go with your friends to the video store or your family.
And then you're walking through the aisles looking at movies and then you all vote and be like, we should get this one.
And you committed to that movie and you're gonna watch it.
Now I turn on Netflix or Amazon or whatever stupid streaming service.
We're getting rid of them one by one because we're like boycotting everything now.
And it's like scrolling through all these movies and they all look awful.
The descriptions are all like vague.
You know what really bugs me?
Dude, I love horror, but all the horror descriptions are like, Janet and her daughter encounter a strange visage when they move to a new house, and I'm like, okay, next.
John and Sally discover a strange demon when they move to a new house, and I'm like, next.
And it's all like this really vague, like, they uncover something mysterious, and I'm like, dude, just tell me, is it a zombie?
But the point is, we're gonna put a CD in, we're gonna put a vinyl on, and we're gonna play the music from that band as we're- Well, now we're just doing Nostalgia Hour, but gosh, remember the CD, burning a CD, how badass that was, dude?
And I had the CD, rewritable drive, you'd burn it, I'd have the disc, and you'd give your friends- I mean, gosh, it's crazy how we long for that nostalgia.
I went to an antique store in Chicago, And one of the things they were selling at the antique store was 16 CD cases wrapped in plastic and it said, CD case replacements.
Because this is the point where, when we reach the singularity point... I'm having like a panic attack right now.
Oh, it's so awful.
Think about it.
When we get to the point of what they call the singularity, where the AI is smarter than us, it can... So, ChatGPT and these other programs have already been given access to their own code to write their own code.
So, when we get to, if Elon's right about the next three years, I think it may be sooner, I don't know.
You're gonna be able to ask it, uh, how do we make Neuralink inter- go into someone's brain, and it's gonna just give you all the data it comes up with about the high probabilities of what needs to be done.
We'll then say, okay, some of it will need to be tested, some of it will be definitive.
But once we get to that point, we're gonna be plugged into the Matrix, living in fake realities with whatever you can dream of, and...
You want to go back to the 90s?
You're going to plug in your Neuralink chip and go and the AI is going to manufacture that universe for you.
For all you know, Alex, you're 80 right now and you're sitting in one of these pods in a department store.
Everyone's going to go in the metaverse and there's going to, he's going to, he's going to, he's going to digitize his brain and then put himself in every like lobby of every metaverse.
And he's gonna hang out with you. - And Alex Jones talks about it when they say, when you plug them in the metaverse, is that you're gonna be able to ejaculate like a thousand times a day.
unidentified
- Where are you going? - I don't know, I'm just saying that's what he said.
You're like, I can't do it, it's terrifying, the world is ending, and then Alex is like, but you can ejaculate a thousand times, and you're like, I'll take it.
They're gonna offer you the metaverse, you're gonna go to Best Buy, and they're gonna have like this thing that attaches to the side of your head or whatever, it's gonna be non-invasive, and you know how you put the headphones on at Best Buy to try them out and play the songs?
They do that with VR too!
So I went to Best Buy and I put the goggles on, and they have like augmented reality and virtual reality.
You're gonna plug the thing in your brain, your eyes are gonna roll back, you're gonna You're gonna slump backwards, and then all of a sudden you're gonna be like 6'7", and it's gonna be a woman at a comedy club being like... Just ejaculating.
Alex is gonna put the thing on his head, and then he's gonna be sitting in a living room, there's gonna be a fireplace, a Christmas tree, and he's gonna be looking at a newspaper, and then he's gonna look to his left, and it's gonna be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez looking at a wedding ring, and then she's gonna lean in for a kiss.
People don't realize that the ejaculating a thousand times thing is like the shocking way to describe it, but it's basically like the devil offering you anything you could ever desire.
They're gonna sell all this VR stuff, and then when people are locked in their cubicles, they're gonna put it on, and you ever see that video of the cow, and they give the cow the VR goggles?
So it's like snowy and dreary and cold, and so they put these goggles on the cow, so the cow sees beautiful springtime fields, because they say happy cows make better milk or whatever.
You're wearing a potato sack for clothing, and you got the VR headset on, and then you're, like, in this beautiful sunshine, and people are smiling, and then you take it off, and you're like, yeah!
And, uh, if you have it, so with, with the, with the, with the quest, I think it's called, I haven't played in a while.
You don't, you're not hooked up to any cables and you get a laser sword or different kinds of guns and then robots are flying around and you're shooting them or you're swinging a sword and a shield at them.
And you can like grab them with like, with like electromagnetism and throw them.
Dude, it's wild how fun that basic game is.
And you're just, you can run around, and it's, it's, it's gonna get nuts, man.
People are gonna decide, I don't need, what, alright, let me slow down.
They already have mods for Skyrim that incorporate GPT into it.
And then a long tendril comes out of the body with the face of a beautiful woman and then goes right in front of you and tells you how much she loves you.
And that's what these AI chatbot girlfriends are.
All of these guys are staring at this dangling demon ooze with a beautiful woman's face and she's whispering sweet nothings into their ears and they're like, please, please more of this, please.
And we've talked about this too, I think I talked about it last time on your show, but you know that the major telecommunication companies, whether it's AT&T, you know, all of them, they spend billions of dollars trying to create artificial intelligence that when you call a call center, that it tricks you into thinking you're actually talking to a human.
But there is, but then when you watch it, you're like, maybe I do want to stay where it's safe.
Maybe I do want to stay.
I know.
I mean, I want to go out and explore, but I can see why you have that kind of internal debate because that fake world is better probably than the real world.
So I was, I was, we were driving the other day, getting lunch.
And I'm just thinking to myself with, I'm like reading, I was reading a tweet, like Elon saying AGI, it's called artificial general intelligence coming.
And I was like, how would you make sure the AI doesn't go evil and just kill everybody?
- You don't think they can? - It's a, the internet is effectively a mesh network.
You can cut access to nodes in certain countries and certain things like this, but the entirety of the internet, if we're talking about a true artificial intelligence that once it hits, it exponentially increases its computational power, it's gonna control everything.
And so, how do we prevent it from being evil, right?
In what ways?
Like, yeah sure, turning the power off, right?
Attacking industrial control systems, shutting down the oil pipelines.
How do we stop it from going rogue and being evil and hurting humans?
What if you created, you placed the AI into a simulated universe, and had it go through 300 million iterations of life, and then, at the end of each of those simulations, you take all of the evil and corrupt ones, and delete that, and take all the good and virtuous ones, and incorporate that into its programming model, into its model.
I can't remember exactly what I typed in for this, but it was something like Donald Trump, emperor of the world, holding a chicken or something like that.
Yeah, it'll be like, yeah, the R will be like a... It's just hard because I'm starting to feel intelligent as a human as I, you know, learn how to edit and stuff.
I mean, seriously, you don't ever see Biden merch.
I mean, I have a Biden hat that I wear, ironically, but Trump merch, I mean, dude, you can- there was a time when everybody was wearing a stupid MAGA hat.
I mean, you could not wear- not see people wearing a red hat.
Well that, that for him, but there is something weird in society now where there's more polyamory, there's like more open relationships, something's weird about that.
On the right you've got the like the red pill guys manosphere thing where they're like dudes want to be with a bunch of women and in most of human civilization they've had bunch of wives and on the left you have one woman with a bunch of guys and it's usually a fat woman.
This is, this is, this is the thing that went off like a couple weeks ago when there was a video of a guy saying that it's like, if you go to any guy, And so I got a button.
I know that is stupid, but I do think there is some weird double standard where in society like a man that bangs a lot of chicks is like, Oh, that guy's Andrew Tate.
He's a badass.
Um, but I do kind of agree with that.
I mean, I don't want to be with a girl that's been ran through by, you know, a hundred guys.
They hired Peter Gunz, and it changed his name to Peter Panky because they didn't want to glamorize gun violence.
But no, there is something too, like I follow this thing, this Instagram, it's called IG Cheaters, and that's my favorite content to watch is like the girl coming home, the guy's in bed with another girl.
I don't know, there's something weird about seeing other people's terrible situation that makes you feel better about yourself.
And that's the thing that people don't understand.
A guy swearing before God, or if you're not religious or whatever, swearing to each other, that we're in this till the end, and then making the claim that every single guy on the planet would never stand up to that vow is like, get out of here, dude.
There are dudes who swear like vows of silence and don't talk for 40 years.
Okay, I'm pretty sure they can avoid banging some chick when they're married.
They said, a high-value guy, they call him, if you're verified on Instagram with 100,000 followers, you're getting a bunch of women hitting you up, and they're like, no man can withstand that.
Well, there's this kind of weird thing is not that us three are super famous, but we're at a level like where, you know, have some notoriety, you know?
And do you want to date a girl that knows you for that notoriety or do you want a blank slate?
I'm saying, if you're going to go date now, do you want to date a person that's kind of a fan, or do you want to date somebody that has no political ideology, has no idea who Tim Poole is?
I think the issue is that, like, you'll get like a big booty Latina coming up to Alex and he'll be like, that was a bit, you know, my type is actually tall and slim, I'm sorry.
I'm on Instagram and then one day, maybe like twice a year, I'll be like, oh, I have messages and I'll look and there's like a famous comedian, a pro skateboarder, a professional basketball player.
And you're right if they know you they have like this false sense of what they think you are and that's kind of like they say don't meet your heroes and I know you know Alex Jones I love Alex Jones but I remember when I met Alex Jones I expected like we were gonna hit it off we're gonna be bros and he's going through the Sandy Hook stuff and like the whole time he's stressed out about this trial right so it's just kind of weird like yeah you know You don't really know what a person is going through, I guess, until you meet them.
We also booked so much through, I mean, I got my first Daily Wire movie from a DM who I thought was a stalker, because the guy was sharing all of my, everything he shared on a story.
We go to this one district and it was the coolest thing ever because they have like a giant Goku, you know, from Dragon Ball Z and they got Lupin the third and I'm like, yeah, anime, let's roll.
Then we go, I see this sign.
I'm like, I don't think anything of it.
I see it again.
Then we're finally going to this sex shop and we're like, I posted a picture on my Instagram.
It's so, it's, it's crazy.
Everybody loves it.
I think I was there with Luke.
And then there's this, actually I was there with Luke, that was funny.
Then we were doing a shoot, we were going to Fukushima.
So we had to stop and check out this crazy sex store.
And then I'm finally like, you know, like, what is this?
And they're like, our guides are like, our fixers are like, oh, that's for masturbation.
And we're like, what?
I've seen like 12 of those.
So we're like, let's go, man.
We have to go.
And so we go inside and they've got little plastic boxes of women's underwear.
Stained towels.
And if it's like, whatever you're into, baby, we got it.
And there was a camera playing dudes in rooms because they get off on people watching them on camera.
Well, that's weird because also I had that OnlyFans girl on my show and she says one of the, one of her highest revenue streams is that guys pay her to have her rate their dick.
They'll send dick pics.
And they'll have her, what's her account?
10 out of 10!
Regis's girl, but she was saying like, yeah, one of the most, one of the things I do, she's like, you can send me your dick, I'll rate it.
I think it's because You see how they've handled it in the past with like, they shuffle people around, they don't get charged, and so bad people are like, this is the exploitation path, right?
Well, at the beginning of like, you know, religion, or I mean not the beginning of religion, that's so long ago, but supposedly the priests were like the coolest guy in town, and they would be banging everybody's wives, and that's why they made it where the priests couldn't- they had to be celibate.
I know, he's a galactic overlord that, I guess, whatever, a long time ago, he got all the criminals from his planet, and then they threw them into volcanoes, and then those spirits of the people that got burned in the volcanoes, they're called, like, Thetans.
Just type in South Park Xenu and it'll give you the real... Did you ever go to one of the Dianetics things?
I've never, I mean, I've been in the building, and I've actually done an e-meter, and I had a video in San Francisco, yeah, but I was outside of it, like, I didn't go to one of the courses or anything, it was just, he had set up a table outside of it, and I did it for a second.
I was skateboarding down Hollywood Boulevard, and they have the Scientology place, and then the guy waved to me and stopped, and then he asked me if I'd ever heard of Dianetics, and I was like, he was like, Scientology stuff?
And he's like, yeah.
And he's like, you've heard of it?
I was like, I did, yeah.
And he's like, oh, what did you hear?
And I was like, I heard you guys think like an alien threw a bunch of aliens in a volcano, You said that to him?
Yeah.
And he laughed and he goes, do you get all your information from cartoons?
And then I laughed and I was like, no.
And he goes, then why would you take that one?
Why would you take information on anything we're doing from a cartoon?
And I was like, fair point.
I have never actually talked to any guys.
So he invited me and I sat down.
He showed me the book.
We talked for a little bit.
I did the e-meter thing.
It made no sense at all.
It felt like it was a cult manipulation technique where it's like, what are you thinking about right now?
And then I'm like, the letter H. And he's like, what?
I'm like, I just tried to think of anything random.
And the meter's going crazy.
And then ultimately he was like, okay, well, you know, would you buy this book for 500 bucks?
It was 20 bucks.
I bought it.
And, and, and because that's the kind of person I'm like, I'm, I'm not going to just assume that South Park told me the truth about any of this.
I want to read what these people are saying.
I got to the first chapter and I said, it's a cult.
Yeah, but you know, it's funny, you can actually, he's making fun of that, saying South Park is wrong.
You can listen to, I forget what level, I think it's the OT level 5, you can actually listen to the recording of L. Ron Hubbard saying exactly, it's basically word for word, the South Park sketch.
Literally, it's like, we threw him down, you can look it up, type in L. Ron Hubbard transcript of Xenu, and it's literally, the South Park thing is like, identical to it.
What I found in like the first chapter was it talks about aberrations and things like, the argument they basically made, and it's been like a decade, it's been a long time, was that over time you build up misalignments in logical reasoning.
Due to things like, one day you eat a hard-boiled egg and get sick.
Your brain then is configured to avoid these things because it must be bad.
But logically, it was just the probability of an egg sometimes being bad.
And so, you might grow up with an aversion to eating hard-boiled eggs.
That's an aberration.
You must remove that and resume the normal life process of eating hard-boiled eggs.
And that's probably good versus I mean that I mean like the mental health part of that is probably good I think like obviously there's probably some tenants of Scientology I think it does help people but I think another thing is like like you said these aberrations and you also like go back and you think of like traumatic events and you try to like I guess do it a different way I'm not sure but the initial argument was you've got to let go of these traumas to heal yourself kind of thing and Which makes sense.
There's so much like way cooler ideas you could come up with.
My favorite is that human life originated on Venus.
And a runaway greenhouse effect started destroying the environment through massive global warming.
So the military constructed something called the Ark Project, which is a giant vessel.
And they took the DNA of, they took the two different DNA sets from each animal on the planet, and then launched a terraforming pod onto the neighboring planet of Earth.
to then seed life in the pre-Cambrian area.
And then there's this explosion of life just all at once.
And then the Ark comes to Earth and the remaining survivors of Venus, there's very few left come down and land in, you know, like ancient Sumeria or whatever.
- Did you make that up or is that somebody else's theory? - I mean, I technically made up basically giving a sci-fi twist to- You know what I mean?
I like the theory that, you know, when they say that God casted out a third of the angels from heaven and they were like forced to come here on earth and that those angels supposedly slept with Nephilim, that there were supposedly giants on their earth.
And it's a military run because they're the only survivors.
So you've got this dude who's completely in charge of everything.
And then they send a bunch of the basic humans down Earth who have no knowledge of farming or anything.
Because, come on, could you farm?
You don't know.
We have no idea what we're doing.
Like an insurance broker lands in ancient, like in this ancient land where it's like fertile ground and they're like, I have no idea what's going on.
They barely remember anything about anything.
And then all of a sudden, second-in-command guy is like, it's time to establish a democratic form of government, and the military leader is like, no, humanity's on the verge of extinction, we will not.
Then all of a sudden, the people down on Earth are watching these ships shooting at each other, there's a coup attempt, and they're like, that dude- And then when the second-in-command guy loses, they say, we're banishing you to Central America, where, that's where he goes.
