| What's going on, everybody? | ||
| Oh, hey there. | ||
| Welcome to day... I don't know what day are we on. | ||
| 50 of the apocalypse. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Day 65 of this week? | ||
| Jeez. | ||
| When's it gonna end? | ||
| It'll never end. | ||
| A year? | ||
| 18 months, I think? | ||
| That's the U.S. | ||
| plan. | ||
| They're saying it's gonna be 18 months. | ||
| That's what the U.S. | ||
| is planning for. | ||
|
unidentified
|
18 months. | |
| That's nuts. | ||
| Yeah, what just happened? | ||
| We got an F in chat. | ||
| Oh no. | ||
| Yeah, what just? | ||
| Yeah, it's not working. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| It should be working. | ||
| I've got it pulled up right here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not working. | |
| It says live. | ||
| And what do you see on the screen? | ||
| TimCast IRL. | ||
| Oh yeah, we're good. | ||
| Why are people complaining? | ||
| They're complaining because we're a minute late! | ||
| That's rude. | ||
| Whatever, man. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| So anyway, we, uh... Everybody's freaking out because we're a minute late. | ||
| Hey, come on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my gosh. | |
| It's because there's a delay. | ||
| I pressed the live button the moment it comes up. | ||
| You did the best. | ||
| And then YouTube has like a minute delay. | ||
| Yeah, so we're here. | ||
| Yeah, we're good. | ||
| Yeah, we're here. | ||
| People are pressing F in the chat because... What up, everybody? | ||
| Yo. | ||
| Thanks for worrying about us. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| We made it. | ||
| But we're here. | ||
| A little tardy. | ||
| Fashionably late. | ||
| A little tired. | ||
| Yeah, a little bit. | ||
| We've been making our own bread recently. | ||
| Because, you know, we're under martial law. | ||
| It's good bread. | ||
| Jackboot people, stormtroopers marching down the street. | ||
| I'm just kidding. | ||
| We're making hardtack. | ||
| I love that we have a skate park in our backyard. | ||
| We kind of do. | ||
| We have concrete in the backyard. | ||
| We have concrete in the backyard. | ||
| We can put some skate stuff. | ||
| We can skate. | ||
| We've got a mini ramp. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| It's a medium ramp. | ||
| It's pretty good. | ||
| It's not really mini. | ||
| No, it's mini, dude. | ||
| That's so small. | ||
| Okay, right. | ||
| It would be better if it was at least four and a half feet or five feet. | ||
| Man, it's 16 foot across. | ||
| It's pretty long. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| So, for all of you that are dealing with the current apocalypse, I know that there's probably... | ||
| I wouldn't know how to bet, but I bet a lot of people don't live in cities. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| I'd be willing to bet, you know, most of the people are not going to live. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Maybe I'm wrong. | ||
| I could not imagine living in Chicago or New York right now. | ||
| I'm so happy I'm gone from New York. | ||
| At least in Chicago, they still have backyards. | ||
| It is now the epicenter of the U.S. | ||
| coronavirus. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, totally. | |
| They have thousands. | ||
| They're getting their own hospital ship. | ||
| That's what I was saying. | ||
| Two hospital ships. | ||
| Trump's bringing in... Two hospital ships. | ||
| Yeah, that makes sense. | ||
| It's cool. | ||
| It's surrounded by water. | ||
| It's so smart. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But they're not for a coronavirus. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| For the regular people? | ||
| Right, yeah. | ||
| That makes sense, actually. | ||
| So people with coronavirus can go to the hospitals and not infect it to regular folks. | ||
| Yeah, I like it. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| Yeah, I want to get back to New York now. | ||
| So our lead story here, which has a lot of people concerned, disconcerted. | ||
| Shocking moment exhausted Dutch health minister collapses in parliament due to fatigue from intense weeks fighting | ||
| coronavirus crisis. | ||
| Now I know you can trust you know you can choose to trust the official statement or you can trust the media. | ||
| you can choose to question government officials who have been repeatedly trying to downplay this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And even in my opinion, even the ones that are saying like, no, it is a bigger deal. | ||
| Then then we realize they're still downplaying it. Yeah. So there's another story right now | ||
| about Tucker Carlson, who is that Fox News host, you know, everybody knows who he is, I guess. | ||
| And apparently he was talking to somebody in intelligence who said China was lying | ||
| about everything. And this is really, really bad. | ||
| So he actually went down to talk to Trump and told him, like, you have to get on this. | ||
| And so I guess the story is Trump just doesn't trust the media. | ||
| And I don't disagree. | ||
| I totally understand why. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I mean, who doesn't trust the media? | ||
| Do you trust the media? | ||
| No, of course not. | ||
| I know I don't. | ||
| I don't trust the media. | ||
| This is hilarious. | ||
| There was a research study done by Edelman, and they found that of like 15 different criteria, the most trusted individuals on the coronavirus are scientists. | ||
| Makes sense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The least trusted, journalists. | |
| Journalists scored less than someone like me. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| That means you could walk up to a stranger on the street and he could be like, so I heard there's a virus. | ||
| And you'd be like, really? | ||
| And if a journalist said it, they'd be like, I don't know about that. | ||
| I don't trust you. | ||
| Now, I'll tell you what they're going to start saying in the media. | ||
| It's Trump's fault for attacking the press. | ||
| It's like, no, dude. | ||
| Yeah, it's your fault for putting up. | ||
| So here's why I bring that up. | ||
| The press has just gotten worse and worse. | ||
| Well, the reason I bring this up is So we actually have the video. | ||
| Let me play the video for everybody first. | ||
| This is BNO Newsroom, and let's just play it so you can see. | ||
| Alright, there he is right there, and then boom, he just goes down. | ||
| People rush over to help pick him up. | ||
| So here's the thing. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| Why don't you tell me what the thing is? | ||
| I will tell you what the thing is. | ||
| What is the thing? | ||
| I really want to know. | ||
| We've had a series of videos of people collapsing in the street. | ||
| And for the longest time, we've had tons of people saying, no, no, no, it's not, it's | ||
| not coronavirus related at all. | ||
| And then it's like people wearing masks in China, falling down face first. | ||
| There's one video. | ||
| It's creepy, man. | ||
| Someone just keels just boom right in the ground and blood is coming out. | ||
| People are freaking out. | ||
| There's one video where someone like struggles and then falls and tries to stop themselves. | ||
| We had the same videos come out of Iran. | ||
| And then we had one dude in Queens. | ||
| Queens, right. | ||
| I remember that. | ||
| Now, we don't know these are all coronavirus. | ||
| True. | ||
| But I gotta say, isn't there like an Occam's razor on this one? | ||
| You have a global pandemic, a respiratory illness that causes people to become faint and have shortness of breath, and then people pass out. | ||
| I mean, two plus two equals four, right? | ||
| Right. | ||
| So when you see a video of this Dutch healthcare minister, you can just go by what they're saying. | ||
| No, no, no, he's just fatigued. | ||
| He's tired. | ||
| Or is this really something different? | ||
| I mean, that's what they're saying, but... | ||
| So they say. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| Do you think he was sick? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| It's all over Europe. | ||
| Yeah, he was saying that he's just been tired and fatigued. | ||
| And that's possible, too. | ||
| It could be true. | ||
| I was going to say, this is kind of exhausting. | ||
| To faint like that, though. | ||
| He collapsed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That wasn't like, oh, man, I'm faint. | ||
| Yeah, because I feel like if he really was fatigued, he would have just, you know, sat down. | ||
| Like, you'd get to the point where you're like, I need to sit down. | ||
| That looked, like, uncontrolled. | ||
| So maybe, look, maybe he's not taking his vitamins. | ||
| Maybe he's got a bad diet. | ||
| People that are that, I mean, working that hard, first off, we do need people that are working crazy, but you're basically Lowering your immune system when you do contract it you're gonna get hit crazy good point, man So if if this isn't the coronavirus and he's that weak right now if he comes in contact with anybody this dude's dead Well, come on. | ||
| I don't know about dead. | ||
| Hey, I'm fine You're right. | ||
| I don't know for certain. | ||
| Nah, I'll be in the hospital. | ||
| But he's obviously an older gentleman. | ||
| He's 56. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yup, he's getting close. | ||
| If he's that weak that he's passing out while standing and working, he's susceptible, man. | ||
| Here's what he said. | ||
| He said, quote, I was feeling faint from fatigue in intense weeks. | ||
| I am feeling better now. | ||
| I am going home now to rest this evening so I can return tomorrow to fight the corona crisis. | ||
| He said in a message on social media. | ||
| Bruins is a top government health official in the Netherlands, where the number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus rose by 346 on Wednesday to 2,051, with 58 deaths, the country's National Institute for Health said. | ||
| So, look at Italy, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| 475 deaths in one day. | ||
| Dude, New York City just doubled theirs as well. | ||
| Doubled their deaths. | ||
| Really? | ||
| What's the number? | ||
| Doubled to 1871. | ||
| That's the total reported cases? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| But what about the deaths? | ||
| Not deaths. | ||
| Sorry, sorry. | ||
| Do you know the death numbers? | ||
| I think the deaths in New York City is only like 10 or 6. | ||
| Dude, when MSNBC came out and now I guess they've done like multiple segments where it's at least Joe Scarborough being like, we must support the president. | ||
| That's me being like, whoa. | ||
| Like, what's happening? | ||
| Dude, these people are scared if they're going to come out and support Trump. | ||
| But what Scarborough was saying is that the worst case estimates are 2 million dead, more than World War II, Korea, Vietnam combined or something like that. | ||
| Dang. | ||
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| That's why people are freaking out. | ||
| So anyway, check this out. | ||
| I've got another video. | ||
| This is a video from Wuhan Hospital. | ||
| Patient collapses on the ground. | ||
| And, look, this is a verified, this is Chinese-Austrian artist haunted by the Chinese. | ||
| I don't know who this person is, but they're a verified Twitter user, so they have, you know, I don't know if that necessarily means they're more credible or less, because journalists, you know what I mean? | ||
| But what, you know, what am I supposed to think when I see a bunch of people wearing masks in a hospital and someone passes out? | ||
| And we're talking about a respiratory illness. | ||
| Now, the funny thing about this is that I actually pulled up, there was a bunch of videos from Snopes. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And I'm actually, you know, they're criticizing the president because he was downplaying this. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But Snopes and other fact-checking outlets were really, really, really downplaying this. | ||
| Whenever somebody would say something like this, like, check this out, Wuhan pneumonia, they'd say, no, no, no, fake news, fake news, ignore it all. | ||
| The World Health Organization tweeted mid-January, new report, new study from China shows that the coronavirus can't be transmitted person to person. | ||
| And the tweet's still live. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| And they want us to believe them. | ||
| Now here's where it gets really, really crazy. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| This story really blew my mind. | ||
| Tucker Carlson says Trump allies wanted to pretend coronavirus wasn't happening, went to Mar-a-Lago to warn the president. | ||
| Now that's not what I find shocking. | ||
| I think it's a cool story. | ||
| Good for you, Tucker. | ||
| You know, going and getting the job done. | ||
| But what's crazy is that apparently, Tucker was talking to somebody who worked in intelligence, who told him that China was lying. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| Carlson said he was alerted to the danger of the new coronavirus after speaking to a non-partisan figure in the US government with access to intelligence, who claimed that the Chinese authorities were not being transparent about the outbreak, which really got my attention. | ||
| Carlson talked about the outbreak in his monologue on his show on February 3rd, but attention at the time was focused on the Iowa caucuses, and that when people see everything through an ideological lens, it's very hard to get to tell a straightforward story. | ||
| This was very, very early. | ||
| Good on Tucker. | ||
| Calling this out, but what is disconcerting to me is that this story basically confirms, look, I know everyone basically speculates China's lying. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I mean, we know, look, when the World Health Organization is like, China says we're good, then it's like, now here we are. | ||
| And now it's a global pandemic. | ||
| We're not good. | ||
| But this just came out. | ||
| People in intelligence in the US government knew. | ||
| Yeah, they knew. | ||
| So apparently what ended up happening was Trump is hearing from all of these, you know, he's got, he's got yes men around him and he's got people who just don't trust the media. | ||
| So they're like, no, no, no, no, ignore this. | ||
| And a lot of Fox personalities were saying the same thing, you know, incorrectly, but that's the big challenge when you have, like you said, an ideological lens, you have all of these people, you know, in media who just lie all the time. | ||
| So who's going to believe it? | ||
| I mean, my initial reaction when I saw this in China very early, like in January was, Like what's it gonna be? | ||
| And then a week later, I was like, whoa, like probably around the same time as Tucker. | ||
| And I was like, this is getting serious. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So you have the people in the U.S. | ||
| government. | ||
| I don't know what advice they were giving to Trump, but he wasn't listening. | ||
| You know, he's like, I don't believe it. | ||
| I'm not going to buy it. | ||
| People are trying to mess with me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But if now they're saying things like, oh, we got good news. | ||
| China is saying the cases are going down. | ||
| You've got to be out of your mind to believe China. | ||
| So wait, someone believes something coming out of China? | ||
| What is this? | ||
| No, I don't believe any of it. | ||
| Why would anyone in their right mind believe them now? | ||
| No, it doesn't make any sense. | ||
| But this story, to me, it gives some confirmation that the U.S. | ||
| government knows that China's been lying the whole time. | ||
| So if anyone in the government now comes out and says, you know, China's, you know, getting the numbers down, we're seeing the end of this, I'm gonna be like, nah, you're lying. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You're lying. | ||
| We got the story right here, man. | ||
| Well, this was in February, though. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Right, so this is when he was being told. | ||
| So, this story just came out. | ||
| And Tucker said someone told him China was not being transparent about what was going on. | ||
| I have no reason to believe they're transparent now. | ||
| Or ever have been. | ||
| Oh, yeah, dude. | ||
| Oh, come on. | ||
| Like, literally everything out of China is a lie. | ||
| They steal our IP. | ||
| They've manipulated their currency to steal our manufacturing. | ||
| They're just underhanded. | ||
| You know, they're government. | ||
| It's funny, whenever you try and criticize governments, you get bombarded with people calling you racist. | ||
| It's like, dude, China's not the most racist country on the planet, man. | ||
| Spare me. | ||
| I'm not interested. | ||
| Yeah, so... Yeah, honestly, I feel bad for, like, the citizens of China. | ||
| Yeah, the Chinese people. | ||
| Yeah, like the normal... Not the CCP. | ||
| ...the everyday people that... But they don't know, man. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| I mean, look, I'm not an expert on China. | ||
| Like, I get hit up by a ton of people in the comments saying, like, you should check out these channels. | ||
| Yeah, that's, like, you know, I've seen some of them, and for sure. | ||
| My understanding is, you know, because I've talked to a few people who are experts in the region, some journalists, and they were saying that they're low-income, uneducated, you know, people who just go about their daily lives. | ||
| And they're just kind of like cogs in the machine. | ||
| They're not super concerned for the most part. | ||
| There are a lot of people who are, but a lot of regular people are just like, leave me alone. | ||
| And so the government does their thing, and as long as you don't rock the boat, you just do your thing and you live. | ||
| How do you convince someone? | ||
| The worst thing about it is, it's the other stuff China does, like the Uyghur camps. | ||
| At what point do we have to do something? | ||
| Does the international community have to do something? | ||
| I honestly don't know. | ||
| It's not like, you know, we can sanction a lot of countries. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But we can't really do that with China. | ||
| China's too big. | ||
| Well, there's something you said the other day. | ||
| I think it was like a couple of weeks ago. | ||
| And you were saying, like, if their economy does crumble, they have two options. | ||
| Ask for help or go to war. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, so what was that EMP thing? | ||
| And now, I mean, weren't they like making threats? | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
| Targeting us or something? | ||
| What was that EMP thing? | ||
| Did you pull that up? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It was something about them like saying, well, if you come into our waters, we're going to | ||
| EMP your ships. | ||
| The waters they're basically claiming are theirs that they're stealing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| But it's like, they're almost looking for any excuse. | ||
| Looking for a fight, yeah. | ||
| You know, like, I dare you, come into our waters. | ||
| Dude, I think... Those are our waters, even though they're not, but... I think we're dangerously close to an actual full-on conflict. | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| I think a lot of, you know, a lot of people haven't been paying attention to the stuff that's been happening over the past several years. | ||
| I bring it up often. | ||
| When I was working for Fusion, there was a team of journalists there that were, I say team, but it was a couple, they were investigating the Nicaraguan Canal. | ||
| Now this collapsed, but basically you had Chinese interests didn't want to pay for the Panama Canal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Right. | ||
| That canal is beast, man. | ||
| You want to bring your boat all the way around South America or you want to cut through the | ||
| middle? | ||
| So they're like, how much will it cost to just dig straight through Nicaragua? | ||
| And that would have essentially drained one of the largest freshwater sources in Central | ||
| America. | ||
| And they're like, we don't care. | ||
| We want to get our boats the other side. | ||
| So I guess the project fell through. | ||
| But they've been doing these things that... | ||
| Undermining us, basically. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, it doesn't make sense to make a new canal that would go through Nicaragua, which is, like, ridiculously long relative to Panama. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| They didn't care. | ||
| They said, light it up, dump the money. | ||
| So they do crazy things to manipulate their currencies to scam the system. | ||
| They steal our IP. | ||
| Right now, this is the craziest thing. | ||
| They've been secretly giving money to academics to steal our research. | ||
| And they're these academics, they're in on the take. | ||
| They don't report it, they lie to the feds. | ||
| Yeah, dude, we're dangerously close. | ||
| I don't think people realize at a certain point, so here's my worst case kind of vision of what we have. | ||
| China's economy took a major, major hit and so did ours. | ||
| And that's the fallout from something we can't necessarily control, but China was lying about it. | ||
| Now we're gonna see, Trump just invoked the Defense Production Act, which means he can seize | ||
| basically the whole economy this business is crazy man | ||
| The Defense Production Act basically means he can set prices, set wages, he can just, boom, do it. | ||
| A lot of power, yeah. | ||
| A lot of power. | ||
| I mean, it's a wartime event, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So what happens now that we're taking all of this stuff away from China? | ||
| They were undermining us, they were taking our manufacturing, that was building up their economy, we take it all back, then what? | ||
| They get desperate, they get angry, facing collapse. | ||
| You know, it's possible the rich people in China just bow out, but I gotta imagine there's some people in that government who are gonna be like, no way, I'm not giving it up, and I'll take it by force. | ||
| So I think, you know, what you end up seeing is, I don't think you'll see China, you know, send a bunch of U-boats to our shores and then storm the beaches of, you know, San Diego or something. | ||
| But what you will see is them increasing their push on the South China Sea into other regions, doing underhanded deals with other countries that we've sanctioned, and then eventually it gets to that point where... World War III? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, because, like, imagine you have the South China Sea. | ||
| Let's say China starts saying, you know what? | ||
| The more we isolate our economies, this is one of the ideas that, you know, I don't necessarily want to use the word globalist, but there are people who had this political theory that if you create free trade, you will force economic trade lines that both countries will resist being broken, you know, which prevents war. | ||
| So, if we had, say, the TPP with China, and all of our manufacturing is over there, war would be very difficult because it's supposed to be reciprocal. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But it wasn't. | ||
| So, I don't want to pretend like I know what the plan was that a lot of these politicians had, but this is something that's been talked about. | ||
| If you get trade lines between the countries, both sides have an interest in not going to war. | ||
| But what happens when China controls, it's all one-sided, and they're getting everything from it, and just extracting your labor and siphoning it away? | ||
| What happens when you cut that off? | ||
| It's like taking away the drug from the addict. | ||
| Yeah, basically. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| Slashing their income. | ||
| They don't want that. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| And they'll go back to being a regional power. | ||
| So I don't know, man. | ||
| Look, I don't think we're necessarily days away from something like that. | ||
| But what happens if they're like, now that we're not getting business, we have to step things up? | ||
| Or they do blow up one of our ships that crosses into their water. | ||
| They've already lasered it, remember? | ||
| Oh yeah, it's not that long ago. | ||
| Remember, we talked about this? | ||
| They lasered one of our planes, right? | ||
| So I don't know, was it a scanning thing? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And so the U.S. | ||
| was like, hey, don't do that. | ||
| Man, Americans don't want to go to war, you know what I mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| One of the challenges of any democratic system, we're not a democracy, we're a constitutional republic, but we use democratic institutions to send representatives to Washington. | ||
| With representative government, it is very, very difficult to go to war. | ||
| China? | ||
|
unidentified
|
War. | |
| Yeah, because they're a totalitarian state. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's really easy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| If they go to war with us, it'll be pretty easy to go, okay, we're going to war with you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I mean, you'd be surprised, man. | ||
| So I don't know all of my World War II history, but I remember reading that they were anti-World War II protesters. | ||
| They were like, we should not enter, you know, we should not intervene and stuff, and they were protesting that we were going over there. | ||
| You know, the really crazy thing about military and stuff is that people don't seem to realize how powerful a single individual with a gun is. | ||
| And it goes two ways, right? | ||
| So, you'll talk to these people, a lot of like, I guess, I don't know, more urban types, uneducated, non-military, you know, no experience, and they'll say things like, no one will go to war with us, we've got aircraft carriers and scud missiles and blah blah blah, and it's like, what is that gonna do? | ||
| We're going to level a few city blocks. | ||
| We're going to have air superiority. | ||
| Those are good things, don't get me wrong. | ||
| But, you know, you've got to watch out because some of these countries have more manpower than we do. | ||
| And you can't occupy a street corner with a Scud missile. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| Or, I don't even know if they use Scud missiles, I don't know. | ||
| A tank. | ||
| So that's one of the funny arguments about, you know, the gun control groups is that You know, if you're really gonna go up against the government, they got missiles, and it's like, so why did we lose in Afghanistan and Vietnam? | ||
| We got a bunch of farmers with guns? | ||
| Dude, come on, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The point is, you get a bunch of angry people with weapons, and you can... Actually, you ever play Command & Conquer? | ||
| A little bit, yeah. | ||
| Or the original Warcraft. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know what my strategy always was? | ||
| Send it over right away. | ||
| I'd just pump out grunts. | ||
| Mass-produce low-level combatants and then just keep sending them in waves, non-stop. | ||
| And you win. | ||
| Just overwhelm them with little dudes. | ||
| Kill their peons. | ||
| That was actually, I think, what Russia did in World War II. | ||
| They, instead of making good tanks, they were like, let's make tons of really bad tanks! | ||
| And then they just wave after wave of really awful tanks. | ||
| And, you know, it reminds me of Futurama. | ||
| I love the Futurama references, by the way. | ||
| Yeah, you do. | ||
| When Zapp Brannigan's like, I sent wave after wave of my own men until we reached the killbot limit and they shut down. | ||
| That's how we won the war. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, but, you know, in this regard, if China ends up, you know, if we really went into a war with them, I'm pretty sure their standing army is bigger than ours. | ||
| But we do have technological superiority. | ||
| Big time. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| Although they have been stealing our IP, so. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That'll be fun. | ||
| Stealing our technology and stuff. | ||
| I guess it's called Zerg Rush. | ||
| Zerg? | ||
| That's what everyone's saying. | ||
| Really, Tim? | ||
| Zerg Rush? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| I guess so. | ||
| Lots of people are saying it. | ||
| Make little dudes and just send them over. | ||
| Wave after wave after wave. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| I remember when I first started playing, like, Command & Conquer, and I'm like, you gotta upgrade your science, and then you gotta make special, you know, get the Tiberium, and then make special robots, and make the better guys. | ||
| And then my friend actually showed me, and he was like, no, just look, and he started just, like, spamming it, and just, like, making a bunch of, what are they called, GIs? | ||
| It's been two decades since I've played that game. | ||
| It's been a long time. | ||
| Although, Command & Conquer came out with a mobile game recently. | ||
| It's pretty fun. | ||
| Is it? | ||
| Yeah, it's not bad. | ||
| Oh, cool, man. | ||
| It's pretty good. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So what do you think, man? | ||
| Where are we at so far? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's getting to the point that 18 states have deployed the National Guard. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| 18 states. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| 18 states. | ||
| 1,500 guardsmen. | ||
| There's talk of the Army. | ||
| I mean, look, they just deployed the Navy to New York. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Trump's got the ability to snap his fingers and increase the minimum wage. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But will he do it? | ||
| No, probably not. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| I wonder what he will do, though. | ||
| I'm curious. | ||
| Yeah, like, what is this defense act really going to get? | ||
| So far, I've not been good at predicting the future, so I have no idea what he's going to do. | ||
| Wow, man. | ||
| You know what's interesting? | ||
| A lot of people, a lot of Trump supporters are saying that this is bad for the president in a lot of ways, and I'm like, I don't think so. | ||
| Don't say that. | ||
| Not at all. | ||
| Yeah, especially if he comes out on top of this. | ||
| If he comes out on top, and this ends in two months, and the market skyrockets, and he's saved the day, dude, you're gonna see people who you never thought being like, oh, I was wrong about him. | ||
| But it's not just that. | ||
| They shut down the Canadian border. | ||
| Oh yeah, that's right. | ||
| Donald Trump's always talking about immigration, and we gotta get a hold on immigration and all that stuff. | ||
| It's like, congratulations, because of the coronavirus, boom, we shut everything down. | ||
| Yeah, everything. | ||
| He got what he wanted. | ||
| And now he has direct control over the economy. | ||
| He's gonna be able to just snap his fingers and get a lot done that he wanted to do without any impedance. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And who's gonna argue? | ||
| If he right now is like, we need more funding for the wall, they're gonna be like, okay. | ||
| Because what's the alternative? | ||
| Everyone's closing their borders. | ||
| Yeah, this is great. | ||
| Guatemala said we're not allowed in. | ||
| No Americans. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Dude. | ||
| This is the end of like, at least for the time being, globalization. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're not gonna... | ||
| I mean, this is the time to put a hold on it, but I hope it doesn't end, you know? | ||
| It's not gonna end. | ||
| Well, what we want to avoid is authoritarianism, but I think Trump is gonna get everything he wants. | ||
| He doesn't want a bad economy, but now he's gonna have the powers to just do things without anyone standing in his way. | ||
| That is frightening. | ||
| And we're at a point now where we're dealing with a national emergency. | ||
| Like, this is the craziest thing I've ever experienced. | ||
| We're not supposed to go outside right now? | ||
| I mean, we probably could, but we might get in trouble. | ||
| New York has announced they're gonna be doing a, you know, get ready because a shelter-in-place order is coming soon. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, and they already did it in San Francisco. | ||
| Where you can get in trouble if you leave your house. | ||
| In France, you need a letter from the government to leave your own house. | ||
| I've never seen it this crazy in my life. | ||
| So think about how bad it is. | ||
| historical precedent for this. | ||
| So think about how bad it is. | ||
| What would happen if Trump right now said, Mexico has been slammed, this is true, | ||
| by the international community for doing nothing about the coronavirus? | ||
| The president is still doing big rallies. | ||
| He does them like all the time where he goes out and he hugs people and kisses them. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| There was like a video of him like biting a woman on the cheek playfully. | ||
| Seriously? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And the people in the country are like, no, we're fine. | ||
| No, don't worry about it. | ||
| It's like, we're good. | ||
| They're not canceling any big events. | ||
| So now Trump is going to... Now if Trump came out and said they're not taking the coronavirus seriously, we need to get this wall done. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Who would dare oppose him? | ||
| I mean, no one. | ||
| It just makes sense. | ||
| You'd see some people on Twitter. | ||
| Yeah, but it feels like the majority of people are like, maybe we should have that wall now. | ||
| No, no, no, there's still the stupid people on Twitter, I mean, saying things like, a wall can't stop a virus, you're so dumb. | ||
| Oh wow, Tim, why did you think of that? | ||
| Because the virus is literally walking through the border, and I expected a fence to stop them. | ||
| No, it's because people carry the virus. | ||
| I just imagine a cartoon of, you ever see the, what is that? | ||
| Man, I can't think of the name of the movie, but there's this movie where these little furballs with teeth. | ||
| It's like a horror film, and when they get together, they create a bigger ball, and they just mow people down and eat them. | ||
| It's like the coronavirus germ. | ||
| I don't remember what it is. | ||
| What's that video game where you do that? | ||
| Man, I can't remember the name of that movie. | ||
| What's that video game where you roll the ball full of big things? | ||
| I never played it. | ||
| I know you're talking about it, but I'm not sure. | ||
| The better analogy is the Simpsons reference, where the doctor's trying to explain to Mr. Burns why he can't get sick, remember? | ||
| And he has a little door, and he's like, look at these oversized novelty germs. | ||
| And he smashes, he tries to get them all to go in. | ||
| Do you remember that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're like bottlenecked. | ||
| And then he does the whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop Three Stooges thing. | ||
| What did he call it? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't remember. | ||
| Critters! | ||
| But this would be so anyway critters. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Critters. | ||
| All the comments are screaming critters. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Critters. | ||
| Back to the more serious. | ||
| Thanks, everybody. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| No, I just I'm just I'm just thinking like if it if it came out right now. | ||
| Look, these stories about Mexico not taking it seriously are, | ||
| you know, getting decent shares. | ||
| So if Trump came out and said in order to secure the country | ||
| from the threat of the coronavirus, we're going to be expanding production on the border wall. | ||
| Yeah, he'd have some detractors, but a lot of people would shut | ||
| A lot of people... | ||
| Thank you all. | ||
| There's a lot of mainstream personalities that are fair-weather anti-Trumpers. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's like I was saying the other day, it's really easy to hate the president when you're in a safety net. | ||
| When you're in a safety net, yeah. | ||
| But now that you have the moderates of this country, regular Americans saying, just keep me safe, now you see Joe Scarborough be like, support the president, right? | ||
| You see Dana Bash. | ||
| You want the strongman, yeah. | ||
| Well, their reaction is based on the fact that they don't want to defy what they think the general public wants. | ||
| So if Trump now says, I know a lot of people have, you know, raised questions and criticisms about this, but you have to understand what Mexico has been doing. | ||
| They've been not taking this seriously and we need to get these numbers down. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're going to shut up. | ||
| They're not going to, they're not going to say anything. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| As you know, because there's nothing to be gained by coming out and saying no, no security. | ||
| It would almost be like, and this is actually worrisome to me if this, if this continues with no one, you know, putting a check on like government authority, then You're going to have people being scared to question what Trump is doing because it's for national security, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So what happens when this all winds down? | ||
| Well, hopefully it goes back to normal. | ||
| Yeah, it won't. | ||
| I don't think it will. | ||
| What's in this coronavirus bailout bill? | ||
| It's like $300 billion for small business loans. | ||
| It's just so massive. | ||
| Isn't it almost a trillion dollars? | ||
| I think it's like 1.5 trillion. | ||
| Yeah, 1.4 or something. | ||
| So what's the national debt? | ||
|
unidentified
|
21? | |
| 22. | ||
| Some ridiculous number. | ||
| Yeah, it was really ridiculous. | ||
| So what's another trillion on top? | ||
| What's another trillion? | ||
| It's fine, we will cease to exist after this. | ||
| As long as it's helping the regular people. | ||
| The small businesses, they need help. | ||
| Does it ever though? | ||
| That's like the headline of this bill. | ||
| Of course it is, dude. | ||
| Like the Patriot Act. | ||
| Would you dare oppose it? | ||
| Until they slip in all the random things that have nothing to do with anything else. | ||
| I hate that. | ||
| I can't stand that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's the history of this country, man. | |
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| It's literally the Patriot Act. | ||
| They give it this fancy name and say, would you vote against it? | ||
| And it's this massive thing no one has read. | ||
| So I think, what, Rand Paul, did he vote no on this? | ||
| I believe so. | ||
| I'm willing to bet Rand Paul did. | ||
| I would place good money on that. | ||
| He takes after his dad, Dr. No. | ||
| So he just votes no on everything. | ||
| I respect that. | ||
| If we don't know what it is, I'm not going to vote for it. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely not. | ||
| Yeah, it makes sense. | ||
| And even if you do, if they're going to spend a bunch of money, he's going to vote no. | ||
| But they're saying now it's going to be like a thousand bucks in April and May. | ||
| And what's that going to do, man? | ||
| Yeah, a thousand bucks per person. | ||
| That's not enough. | ||
| I mean, there's some hippie living in a farm who's going to be like, cool. | ||
| And there's going to be some dude with a kid being like, what? | ||
| Oh my gosh, not enough. | ||
| Yeah, man, what am I supposed to do about this? | ||
| Yeah, he did vote against it. | ||
| Oh, imagine my show. | ||
| He did vote against it. | ||
| He voted against it. | ||
| Of course he did. | ||
| Nah, I don't blame him. | ||
| I like Rand Paul. | ||
| I do too. | ||
| Well, let's do this. | ||
| Let's jump over to some Super Chats. | ||
| And then we've got another story. | ||
| This billionaire is calling for the complete shutdown of the entire government. | ||
| And that, I think, is a big... A billionaire saying it? | ||
| Yeah, apparently it's some billionaire saying, we need to shut it all down. | ||
| He's calling on Trump to do it. | ||
| Shut it down! | ||
| Because he's saying we're going too slow. | ||
| And he was like, literally, everyone stay in your home. | ||
| 30 days. | ||
| Government pays for it. | ||
| Otherwise, we're gonna lose. | ||
| I have a point. | ||
| If people can survive staying in their homes for 30 days... | ||
| But like, you can go outside. | ||
| Like, these aren't, these aren't like mandatory lockdowns where the government shows up and like, get in your house! | ||
| No, it's like, you go out, walk the dog, you go to the store, but you just don't- You go to, you work, like, grocery store workers, the unsung heroes. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Yeah, I got a lot to say about that, too. | ||
| So let's do the Super Chats first, then we'll come back to this, because there's a point I want to make about there are certain jobs that are a necessity for a society, and then there are fake jobs, like ours. | ||
| These are fake jobs. | ||
| No, they're not necessary. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| I understand. | ||
| If people are facing the apocalypse, the last thing they're going to say is, we're building a new society. | ||
| We need food, water, and political commentators. | ||
| They're gonna be like, you, chop wood. | ||
| I'm gonna be like, you got it, buddy. | ||
| You don't need me to opine on this one. | ||
| Let's grab some of these Super Chats. | ||
| So we got a bunch. | ||

| LR Design Studios, Lori Sullivan-Roy says, who collapsed? | ||
| I just joined. | ||
| So, that was a decent while ago, you know, because Super Chat's coming earlier, but just for those that are tuning in now and curious about what the initial subject was, it was the Dutch health minister was fielding questions on the coronavirus and he collapsed mid-discussion. | ||
| Somebody was saying he might have locked his knees. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I have heard of that happening. | ||
| Bad, bad timing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But come on, let's be real. | ||
| I know. | ||
| When was the last time you heard about someone collapsing? | ||
| When you heard about Iran and China and government officials? | ||
| Well, I literally watched an Iranian official get coronavirus on camera. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was crazy. | |
| So I saw that. | ||
| That was exciting. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| That's crazy, man. | ||
| Kojima says, when we all get locked down, y'all wanna 1v1 me on Destiny? | ||
| Adam? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| On PlayStation. | ||
| Podcastage says, thanks for the super chat. | ||
| Thanks for all you do, Tim. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| STFU says, the further adventures of Kid Beanie and Man Bun Jesus. | ||
| You know, you're many different Jesuses. | ||
| Yeah, I guess so. | ||
| I guess you're man bun and soy. | ||
| You know, it's funny. | ||
| If you want, you can actually look it up. | ||
| I actually dressed up as Jesus for a photographer friend of mine who just like, dude, you'd make a perfect Jesus. | ||
| I'm like, the only way I'm going to do this is if you film me skating. | ||
| So what you're saying is that you admit to being a blasphemer? | ||
| I guess so, for sure. | ||
| But you can go to my YouTube channel, just type my name and search. | ||
| It's like Jesus Longboards in New York or something. | ||
| Or in Central Park. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| We got a guy who works at Family Dollar. | ||
| Mark Taylor says, I work at Family Dollar in St. | ||
| Charles. | ||
| We stocked TP last night and ran out within an hour of opening today. | ||
| Was also in the Navy. | ||
| Those ships suck. | ||
| I've never been on one. | ||
| Do you know what's funny? | ||
| Is that people are still buying up toilet paper. | ||
| Like, there was a video of a guy who thought he was buying 48 rolls, and he bought 48 boxes. | ||
| So he built a throne. | ||
| Like, dude, why are you people ordering all this stuff, man? | ||
| They run in and buy toilet paper, I swear to God, in a couple months it's gonna be over, and they're gonna have a toilet paper room. | ||
| And they're gonna be like, oh, where did you put the vacuum? | ||
| It's in the toilet paper room. | ||
| And it's a room literally just lined with toilet paper. | ||
| Yeah, the toilet paper companies are like, Man, this is amazing! | ||
| We're making so much money! | ||
| And then, like, for the next two years, they're just gonna be like, why isn't anyone wiping their butts anymore? | ||
| Here's what I imagine, right? | ||
| Imagine this. | ||
| There's, like, an executive's room, like, an executive office, and, like, a top of a skyscraper, and there's, like, a big fat guy with, like, a double chin and a cigar, and, like, he's sitting around with a bunch of toilet paper executives, and he pulls out a roll, and he wads it up and lights it, and then they use it to light their cigars while laughing. | ||
| Like a dollar bill. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry, bro. | |
| Like a dollar bill. | ||
| Yeah, like instead of burning hundreds, they're literally burning the toilet paper. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| John McCloud says, had a bad day, so happy for the daily dose of beanie. | ||
| Sorry, bro. | ||
| Well, I've got news for everyone. | ||
| I hope you feel better. | ||
| These shirts have existed for a long time, but I put the link in the description below. | ||
| You can actually get a t-shirt with a beanie on it. | ||
| It is literally a beanie t-shirt. | ||
| Yeah, I need one of those. | ||
| We need actual beanies. | ||
| But, you know, you can get it and it's this one. | ||
| Among other things. | ||
| It's not easy to find good beanies. | ||
| We have an awesome picture of Emily's cat looking like it's seen the face of God. | ||
| And I love that picture. | ||
| You can buy that too. | ||
| That cat is creepy. | ||
| She's weird. | ||
| She is, dude. | ||
| I've met that cat. | ||
| I mean, it's creepy. | ||
| She's a creepy cat. | ||
| She spies on you? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, she's such a little... Like a ghost. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, man. | |
| Right. | ||
| Like, it's the weirdest thing. | ||
| I'll be walking upstairs, and there'll be, like, someone in the guest room, and she'll be, like, just, like, around the corner, peeking her head out, staring at them while they sleep. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| It's always while I'm sleeping. | ||
| That happened to you, right? | ||
| Yes, it happened to me. | ||
| I woke up, and she was like, what's up? | ||
| And I was like, oh, my gosh. | ||
| And it's not cute. | ||
| No, it's horrifying. | ||
| It's like a creepy person standing next to your bed while you're sleeping and you wake up and they're like, hi. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Please don't kill me. | ||
| Normally it's like you wake up and the cat walks in and meows and you're like, aw. | ||
| But not this one. | ||
| She's got like a weird face. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Emily's gonna get mad. | ||
| Stop making fun of my cat. | ||
| No. | ||
| Never. | ||
| She's a good girl. | ||
| Nice try. | ||
| Sydney, Sydney, thanks for coming to member. | ||
| Glenn says, shout out for my GF Jillian who loves your work. | ||
| Hey, appreciate it. Jillian and Glenn. I can't read this. | ||
| Eru. Leheto. 5.7 earthquake in Utah this morning. Yeah. | ||
| What does it say? | ||
| Biggest since 92. Yeah. | ||
| Bad timing for everything. | ||
| Right, for real. | ||
| It's the end of the world, man. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I feel fine. | ||
| Yeah, I do too. | ||
| Trumpelstiltskin says, Lao Wai was live earlier. | ||
| Please get him and Serpentza on your show. | ||
| They were expats in China 14 years, now living in LA. | ||
| Great show, guys. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| We should. | ||
| Let's hit them up. | ||
| Let's bring some guests. | ||
| We made this guest spot. | ||
| Yeah, other people can sit there. | ||
| Marcelo says, enjoying social distancing in South Germany, Bavaria, prepared thanks to this channel. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| Because we have repeatedly said, buy your supplies. | ||
| No, we haven't ranted about buying your gold. | ||
| Or your supplements. | ||
| We just said you should have some food. | ||
| And apparently some people went out and bought 800 rolls of toilet paper. | ||
| We did not say to do that. | ||
| Yeah, we didn't say that. | ||
| Guys, don't do that. | ||
| I have a simulation theory that I think plays right into all of this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Toilet paper. | ||
| So we've talked about simulation theory. | ||
| A little bit. | ||
| I don't think we've talked about this. | ||
| Maybe not on the show. | ||
| Let me give you my thoughts on simulation and why I think what we're witnessing now is perfect evidence of one of my theories. | ||
| So, there's three parent possibilities I see if we're in a simulation. | ||
| The first is that you are the only conscious entity and everyone around you is a drone, an NPC, meant to facilitate your existence. | ||
| And you, as the only conscious entity, are what the simulation is trying to accomplish, whatever that is. | ||
| So the saying goes, I think, therefore I am. | ||
| Not, we think, therefore we are. | ||
| So I have no idea if you're thinking. | ||
| I know I am. | ||
| I'm pretty sure I am. | ||
| Well, you can tell me that, but how am I supposed to know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, let me check. | |
| Yes. | ||
| How am I supposed to know? | ||
| I'm still thinking. | ||
| Can't prove it. | ||
| But you trust me. | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, you don't trust me? | ||
| It's also like, how would you know... Dang, man! | ||
| I thought we were friends! | ||
| About being sentient? | ||
| And thinking? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| I'll never know, man! | ||
| Maybe he's a robot. | ||
| I'm telling you, I am! | ||
| I'm mostly, you know, of course I assume... I have a tattoo on my arm! | ||
| I am! | ||
|
unidentified
|
See? | |
| I will say, most people are thinking. | ||
| But so here's the point, right? | ||
| How do you know if an android said, like, I'm alive? | ||
| How would you know? | ||
| I am sentient. | ||
| Because my stupid Amazon device tells me things, and it's like, you're not a thing. | ||
| It's just voice activated. | ||
| True. | ||
| But where's that line, right? | ||
| So basically, that's the first idea. | ||
| The second is that... | ||
| Some people are sentient and thinking, and many others aren't. | ||
| And that's the MMO simulation theory that I like to toy around with. | ||
| The idea that some percentage of human beings are conscious and cognitive and paying attention, and literally the rest are NPCs. | ||
| It's kind of like the NPC meme. | ||
| You're familiar with that meme? | ||
| No. | ||
| That basically some people aren't thinking at all, and they just repeat things like mindless drones. | ||
| It does seem to happen. | ||
| Right, like if you can't think critically, then there's a difference. | ||
| You wanna know something really crazy? | ||
| There was a study done that found something like, I don't know what the number was, it was some high number of percentage of people don't have an inner monologue. | ||
| Dude, I was thinking about that when I was washing my hands earlier. | ||
| I read about that. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| I was like, how does that happen? | ||
| Well, here's the thing though. | ||
| It's like three different things as far as I'm concerned because some people don't have any voices in their head. | ||
| Like that's what I was reading the article. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| But then what I think what an inner monologue is like reading, like now I'm talking into a microphone and now I'm picking up my phone and I'm not typing on my phone. | ||
| But they can't even hear their own voice in their head. | ||
| That was my understanding. | ||
| It's like talking to yourself. | ||
| Not even hearing your voice, but like... Being able to talk to yourself in your head. | ||
| Thinking in your head about what you're doing. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| That blows me away. | ||
| I was like, where do ideas come from if you're not thinking through things with your words? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do they just see pictures? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| I do not know. | ||
| I want to talk to these people. | ||
| So, we're going to come back to this one. | ||
| Yeah, we should actually bring this up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| We're going to keep talking. | ||
| I'm just going to say my third point was that the third parent idea in the simulation is that everyone is conscious. | ||
| It's silly to think just because someone's smarter than someone else that they're not, you know, sentient or whatever. | ||
| But that's, you know, so you have you are the only person. | ||
| Everyone's a drone. | ||
| I don't think that makes sense because I've met people smarter than me. | ||
| A lot of people. | ||
| And then the last one, you know, everyone is active, you know, everyone is a conscious entity, a player in this MMO. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I also don't believe, because I've met people who are just, like, the innkeeper in an RPG. | ||
| Like, I kid you not, man. | ||
| So I used to do fundraising for non-profits. | ||
| And I got to a point where I would tell people I was training, like, there are, like, seven distinct responses you will get from every single person. | ||
| It is entirely predictable. | ||
| It was freaky predictable. | ||
| You would wave to somebody and say, you know, hi, how are you going? | ||
| Would you like to, you know, help the environment or whatever? | ||
| And I could predict exactly, you know, like seven generic responses or reactions. | ||
| It was entirely predictable. | ||
| And then sometimes, you know, 20% of the time, someone would say or do something I didn't expect. | ||
| Which is interesting because- They're real players. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So I was reading something from, it was like a scientist said this a long time ago, you guys can Google this, he said that humans are very much like electrons, 80% of the time they're predictable. | ||
| 20% of the time, it's spontaneous. | ||
| And so that's why, I'm not saying I definitively believe or have faith in simulation or anything like that, but the toilet paper people. | ||
| The toilet paper people. | ||
| The toilet paper people make me really believe that if this is a simulation, it's actually more like an MMORPG. | ||
| And there's some code that went wrong? | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| That forced a bunch of NPCs to go get toilet paper instead of food? | ||
| No, it's because they're not... They're not... They're not thinking. | ||
| Yeah, it's like when someone pressed go and a bunch of random things are bouncing around a room randomly. | ||
| No, for real, because it literally... It would take five seconds to think about what you would need from a store and toilet paper is not... It is not even in the top ten. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Right. | ||
| It's really not. | ||
| Yeah, it's... Like imagine if they were like running into an Ace Hardware or like a Lowe's to get street cones. | ||
| You'd be like, I'm very confused as to why you were all... Why are you doing this? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so what I think it is, I think it's a cascade effect. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I mean, toilet paper makes a lot more sense than street cones, though. | ||
| It's a little arbitrary. | ||
| I know everybody uses toilet paper. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But why does, why does, you know, do you see that video of the old ladies fighting over | ||
| toilet paper? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The lady's got five packs in her cart. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Why? | ||
| And the other lady's like, I just want one. | ||
| I just want one. | ||
| And they're fighting over it. | ||
| And she's like, no, no. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| And there's another video where people are in Australia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like someone had a cart full of it. | |
| What are you even thinking? | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I don't think you are. | ||
| Why is it so important now? | ||
| It's like somebody dropped this idea into the hive mind and everyone's like, toilet paper. | ||
| That's why I'm saying NPCs, man. | ||
| I think you're right. | ||
| So, funny story, I was telling this, I've had these, I have a bunch of things I consider silly ideas and fun, you know, thought experiments and whatever you want to call it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| About 10, 13 years ago, I was in Chicago, and I was talking to a friend about this, and I said, basically what I said just now, like, there's, you know, it could be a single player game like Skyrim, it could be an MMO like World of Warcraft, where you have NPCs and you have players, or it could be just the real world, it's regular and, you know, everyone's alive. | ||
| And he was like, you sound crazy. | ||
| This is ridiculous. | ||
| And it's funny. | ||
| Cause I'm like, I'm like, you smoke pot all the time. | ||
| I'd imagine that you'd be into these kinds of ideas to like sit around, | ||
| talk about crazy stuff like that. | ||
| But now, but we were outside of a dorm in Chicago and I was like, no, no, no, | ||
| no, I'll prove it to you. | ||
| Watch. | ||
| And a guy was walking by and I was like, Hey dude, Hey, you guys saying, Hey, | ||
| are you sentient? | ||
| And he goes, no. | ||
| And then we all started laughing. | ||
| I was like, what? | ||
| And then he just walked away. | ||
| What the heck? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you know what it means? | |
| Probably not. | ||
| I guess not. | ||
| But I started laughing, and I was like, that wasn't actually supposed to happen. | ||
| That was supposed to be a joke. | ||
| Way out of left field. | ||
| The guy was supposed to be like, yes, of course. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| You caught him off guard. | ||
| He said no. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But here's what I started thinking. | ||
| I'm like, man. | ||
| I used to be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, only on the weekends. | |
| It's just unfair of me because I assume that he knows what sentient means. | ||
| Yeah, maybe. | ||
| But what's weird about it is, dude, I'm a high school dropout from the south side of Chicago. | ||
| I am not ivory tower educated silver spoon in any capacity. | ||
| I am not upper crust. | ||
| I grew up as gutter trash. | ||
| That's a huge thing. | ||
| what sentient means and I understand like not everybody knows these things | ||
| but it was weird to me that at a college well you also taught yourself how to | ||
| learn I guess that's a that's not a huge thing but learning how to learn but | ||
| here's what I'm saying yeah of all of the places outside of a college dorm | ||
| where these kids are supposed to be in higher learning For someone not to know what the word sentient means was weird to me. | ||
| I can understand if, you know, you're a tradesman and you spend your days, you know, you're not being, you're not reading science books and being exposed to a lot of these, you know, things like that. | ||
| Yeah, working a tough job, you go home and you just pass out. | ||
| But then, I think it's fair to say that, you know, my view on college is that they're NPCs. | ||
| Because think about the kind of person that would be attracted to going to a college for the most part. | ||
| Not everybody. | ||
| Just tell me what to think. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Tell me what to do. | ||
| Tell me what I need to do. | ||
| Tim really likes thinking. | ||
| He likes thinking. | ||
| He comes up with these ideas on his own. | ||
| I also don't like being told what to do. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I don't either. | ||
| I don't like it. | ||
| What's the fun in that? | ||
| Don't tell me what to do. | ||
| Don't tell me what to do. | ||
| I won't tell you what to do. | ||
| Don't tell me what to do. | ||
| We've talked about this too, like what real authority and leadership is based on how we used to play video games. | ||
| So like when it comes to the example I was gave is the division. Yeah, when when we would be playing with our | ||
| friends The person in charge was just the person who took charge | ||
| Exactly, yeah. | ||
| So you'd be like, hey guys, I wanna do this run, so I'll tell you what to do. | ||
| And we're like, you got it. | ||
| No, I don't care. | ||
| I got, there's no ego, there's no beef, there's like, I don't know, there's just weird- Great, yeah, somebody needs to be in charge. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And then if we were playing and your plan or my plan wasn't working, then someone else would be like, here, let me try something. | ||
| We'd be like, okay. | ||
| Sweet, yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Like, it's just, it's like- Cool, let's try that. | ||
| Leadership is, yeah, so whatever it is, my experience, you know, especially with colleges, They're people who are just walking mindlessly into a room and then just don't even think about it. | ||
| Which brings me back to the toilet paper people. | ||
| That's exactly what they're doing. | ||
| Now, the toilet paper people aren't college graduates for the most part, I'd assume. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Not that it really matters. | ||
| I would be curious to know. | ||
| But this is, I gotta admit, kinda freaks me out. | ||
| Where do we go wrong where someone can't be like, There's a virus. | ||
| I should not stand in a large crowd of people. | ||
| I should not wrestle with people in the shopping aisles. | ||
| Or like a Mexican president that shouldn't go out and kiss people's cheeks. | ||
| I guess, you know, if you're a man of the people, you'd do it. | ||
| But... | ||
| That was a fun derailment into an unrelated topic. | ||
| Oh wait, are we doing super chats right now? | ||
| We are still taking comments. | ||
| We took a little break. | ||
| We should dive back in there. | ||
| No, but it was fun. | ||
| You think those ideas are crazy? | ||
| Man, I should write a book on all the crazy things. | ||
| So my friends used to be like... So I wear contacts all the time, right? | ||
| There was a period where me being an unemployed skateboarder, I had the same pair of contacts for like eight months. | ||
| I did that. | ||
| I used to do that. | ||
| And what happens is the oxygen permeation gets really bad and your eyes start getting bloodshot. | ||
| And so people would always be like, this dude's so stoned. | ||
| And I'd be like, I'm not stoned! | ||
| I don't smoke! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stop it! | |
| Until it leads to pink eye and then you're down for the count for a while. | ||
| No, it causes capillaries in your eyes to grow over the lens. | ||
| Oh no! | ||
| Yeah, because your eyes need air. | ||
| Yeah, you really do. | ||
| Yeah, so don't do that. | ||
| Don't reuse contacts. | ||
| Don't do that. | ||
| Everyone just thought you were high. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| Yeah, they always thought I was stoned. | ||
| I enjoyed hanging out with my friends when they were stoned because they'd finally talk about this stuff. | ||
| I'm pretty sure everyone here knows who the stoner in the room is. | ||
| Is it you? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's not Tim. | ||
| Soy Jesus? | ||
| The hippie vegan pot smoker. | ||
| Dude, but we had some really cool- No comment. | ||
| Dude, it was always fun hanging out with the Podheads because we'd end up talking about quantum physics and space time. | ||
| Yeah, cool stuff. | ||
| And that's how a lot of the ideas have come up with like ghosts. | ||
| Like we talked about the ghost thing. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, just hang out with people who are like, right, it's fun stuff. | ||
| It's really fun. | ||
| Free. | ||
| But let's get back to the Super Chats because we're lagging behind and we got some more news to go through. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We got some fun news about, we gotta talk about the billionaire guy. | ||
| Yes, that's crazy. | ||
| But Marvel. | ||
| Get woke, go broke. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| The Woke Twins. | ||
| This is gonna be great. | ||
| You're gonna love it. | ||
| Let's read some superchats though. | ||
| Alright, I will admit though, we're getting slammed by superchats because admittedly, somehow our podcast is becoming very popular. | ||
| Oh man, the comments are crazy funny. | ||
| You guys are so great. | ||
| I love reading your comments. | ||
| I do too. | ||
| We have a chill audience and I love it. | ||
| But we have 11,000 people? | ||
| I am in shock. | ||
| That's the highest number we've ever had. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thanks everyone. | ||
| You guys are here. | ||
| And I appreciate it. | ||
| Let's read these chats. | ||
| Hawkticus says, Wisconsin just had 200 people get exposed by one doctor who was unaware they had it at a children's hospital. | ||
| Thankfully, no at-risk kids have it. | ||
| Man Sam says, Tim, please get rid of the annoying Antifa guy that sits next to you. | ||
| Well, you can't win them all, Adam. | ||
| I'm not trying to. | ||
| Antifa guy. | ||
| Stephen A says, Simon just ordered all of their malls closed as of 7pm tonight. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| Oh wow. | ||
| And we haven't gone out anyway. | ||
| It's because, you know, we've been doing the show, so we became homebodies over the past few months. | ||
| This has not really affected us in that regard. | ||
| Mall owners were prepping for this for years anyway. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Malls are closing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Wow. | ||
| What a surprise. | ||
| Alex says, Hey Tim and crew, just wanted to say thanks for giving me and my household a heads up on this craziness. | ||
| We are prepped and ready thanks to you guys. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| And we just talk about stuff. | ||
| Derek says, Khan Academy has new vid on COVID-19. | ||
| The TLDR for every new death, there's somewhere in the ballpark of 1,600 new cases. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| King of Sharks, thanks for the super chat. | ||
| Bart, thanks for the super chat. | ||
| DatSimpleNope says, looks like the city that never sleeps took a nap. | ||
| Yeah, wow. | ||
| New York is a ghost town, dude. | ||
| I know, yeah. | ||
| If you ever wanted to do a short film about the apocalypse, Now's your chance to go out into Manhattan and do it. | ||
| I'm half-kidding, by the way. | ||
| Half-kidding. | ||
| You probably don't want to go out right now. | ||
| It's true, but don't do it. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Covering our butts. | ||
| Eli says, at my work, we received letters for out-of-work vehicles from Homeland Security stating that we are allowed to be on the road and allowed to get fuel at the gas station. | ||
| This is from Indiana. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dang. | |
| Man, I think, dude, we're, what, a week away from where France is? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You need a letter to leave your home? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Everybody get your letter. | ||
| That's getting scary. | ||
| We'll see, we'll see, we'll see. | ||
| Tord says, Corona have summoned the five horsemen of the apocalypse. | ||
| Pestilence, war, famine, death, and boredom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| I mean, I'm not really bored. | ||
| Learn how to play Magic. | ||
| Yeah, play board games, play video games, and we were skating earlier. | ||
| I got no time for anything. | ||
| It's like, I got like an hour to skate, then eat, and then get ready for the show. | ||
| So, you know, I'm busy. | ||
| Dakota Dad says, Six cases here in North Dakota are first cases today. | ||
| One lady hasn't left her house, traveled out of state, or country. | ||
| They don't know how she got it. | ||
| What? | ||
| You know what it is? | ||
| It's because we're in an MMO. | ||
| No deliveries? | ||
| Yeah, maybe deliveries. | ||
| This woman never got a delivery of any sort? | ||
| No, you know, Milk, she went to the store. | ||
| Did she go to the store? | ||
| What did they say? | ||
| She hasn't left her house or traveled out of the state or country. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| Did she get any deliveries at all? | ||
| That might have. | ||
| Maybe, maybe. | ||
| That's my first instinct. | ||
| But I have a better explanation. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| The person playing the game. | ||
| The virus crossed the wall. | ||
| The person playing the video game tapped her house and put like, you know, boop, boop, boop. | ||
| I wanted to boop also. | ||
| I wanted to boop also. | ||
| It felt good. | ||
| Sword logic. | ||
| Much love from Canada. | ||
| You guys have helped my household keep a cool head with the commentary, and we're prepared thanks to your advice. | ||
| P.S. | ||
| Soy Jesus used to annoy me, but turns out he's pretty cool. | ||
| Turns out you can win them all! | ||
| I do come off different. | ||
| A lot of people say that about me. | ||
| At first I didn't know about you, but you're cool. | ||
| Why is Soy Jesus sticking? | ||
| My buddies call me the honest a-hole because I'm so brash. | ||
| I speak my mind and I appreciate when others speak their mind. | ||
| I want to know the truth. | ||
| Thank you though, I really appreciate that. | ||
| Brandon says, putting together my bug-out bag for the outbreak. | ||
| If it gets really bad, I'm heading for the mountains. | ||
| Me too. | ||
| Great point. | ||
| Dude, Salt Lake is so beautiful. | ||
| It was trending earlier for some reason. | ||
| Probably something bad. | ||
| Yeah, that's because of the earthquake. | ||
| But I've been through there a couple times. | ||
| Talk about beautiful, man. | ||
| Mountains all around. | ||
| Nestled in this valley. | ||
| He owns the whole valley. | ||
| That's where I'm going. | ||
| Well, so here's my advice to all of you. | ||
| If you're looking to bug out, the first thing you need to do is make sure that you have a full... your 35 to 40 gallon gas tank for your conversion van is filled. | ||
| And make sure the shower and the solar panels are all working. | ||
| It's gonna be very important. | ||
| Now, when you're setting up your PlayStation in your van... I'm kidding, by the way. | ||
| He's not kidding. | ||
| There is a PlayStation in his van. | ||
| No, but the joke is that like most people would never be able to pull this off. | ||
| They're gonna be running across the bridge full speed with their kids in their hands, you know? | ||
| Okay, let's see. | ||
| Chaos says, World Health Organization is corrupted by China. | ||
| Of course they will be lying about China's situation. | ||
| Hey, when the money's good, man. | ||
| Extreme says, say the line, Tim. | ||
| It's complicated. | ||
| It's complicated. | ||
| It's the line from Iron Man 3. | ||
| Oh, is that what it's from? | ||
| Yeah, when they're like, tell us what's happening. | ||
| He's like, hey, hey, it's complicated. | ||
| It's complicated. | ||
| I've only seen that movie once. | ||
| Is it good? | ||
| I love Iron Man 3. | ||
| I don't remember it. | ||
| It's the one where, uh... I just remember there's so many of them. | ||
| It's the Extremis one, where the people can regenerate their limbs and, like, it gets really hot and they're glowing. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Dude, I love that one. | ||
| I gotta watch that again. | ||
| My favorite part is when War Machine, they're heating up the War Machine armor, and he goes, alright, let's do this, and he just jumps out and then, boom, right in the guy's face. | ||
| That scene is awesome, but then he gets beat up because the guy breathes fire, and then he's like, whoa, and then he gets punched in the face. | ||
| But it's still cool when he jumps out and he's like, yeah! | ||
| Don Cheadle punches him in the face. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Even though Don Cheadle's like kind of a... All these people are kind of weird off, like out of the movies. | ||
| I don't know anything about him. | ||
| Like, they just tweet weird things. | ||
| Like... I gotta start following more people. | ||
| Loose cannons, yeah. | ||
| Loose cannons? | ||
| Yeah, a little bit. | ||
| Yeah, like Marf Ruffalo. | ||
| Marf Ruffalo. | ||
| Chris Evans has actually gotten better. | ||
| He actually, like, listened to me. | ||
| Yeah, he went and met with a bunch of Republicans and stuff and decided to have conversations. | ||
| I have a lot of respect for that. | ||
| Some of these people go on Twitter, man, and I'm like, what are you saying? | ||
| Yeah, this Twitter land. | ||
| It's a funny place. | ||
| Well, you know what it is? | ||
| We didn't used to get access to everyone's shower thoughts. | ||
| That's really what it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
| I had someone ask me, you know, how is it you've got so many followers on Twitter? | ||
| Shower thoughts. | ||
| And I'm like, because I like... Crapper thoughts. | ||
| I have a shower thought. | ||
| I'll pull up my phone and go like, man, what's up with this? | ||
| And then I turn it off and I don't look at it. | ||
| And it's just my random thoughts that I'm like, there you go, everybody. | ||
| Now you know what I'm thinking. | ||
| Cough them out into the universe. | ||
| Cough them out into the universe. | ||
| Yeah, I don't look at notifications. | ||
| I just ignore mentions. | ||
| People tweet at me all the time. | ||
| I'm like, I don't care, dude. | ||
| I don't know what you're talking about. | ||
| Brent says, y'all ever consider the possibility that China was developing the Wuhan coronavirus as a bioweapon and it just got released early by accident? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| I mean, sure, it's a possibility. | ||
| Yeah, but Occam's razor. | ||
| Stupidity over maliciousness. | ||
| Yeah, and so what was actually released and very likely against the wishes of China was that somebody had been doing research on bat coronaviruses and bats bit him and then peed on him. | ||
| Who knows. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| quarantined and then whoop here we are. | ||
| I think that and that was from South China University. | ||
| So I'm not saying I trust the Chinese Chinese government. | ||
| So who knows. | ||
| But who knows. | ||
| I mean it's it wreaked havoc in their country. | ||
| Yeah. You know it wrought havoc. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Brandon Beck says coming at you from Utah we said a five point | ||
| seven earthquake at Salt Lake City. | ||
| In your opinion, can that affect how we combat coronavirus if it happens in a more populated city? | ||
| I mean, yeah, depending on the damage, if roads break, honestly. | ||
| I am not a seismologist or an emergency preparedness expert, so my comments only go so far. | ||
| HyperConservative says, do you think the Wim Hof breathing method would be effective in boosting your immune system against COVID-19? | ||
| What is that? | ||
| I have no idea what that is. | ||
| Is that the ice? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Learning how to ice guy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cool. | |
| Dunking yourself in ice to, it basically super charges your immune system. | ||
| You know how we- I don't know too much about it, but my cousin's doing it right now. | ||
| He's like- Oh, cool, yeah. | ||
| He's like an ice bear now. | ||
| Oh, cool. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| You know we have that running oxygen I was talking about? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I wonder if that's sold out. | ||
| Like if people went nuts and started buying up oxygen. | ||
| I'm going to say no, because that seems like something you have to be kind of technical | ||
| to consider buying. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So the average person just says, like, screams toilet paper. | ||
| And probably like sleep apnea machines are sold out. | ||
| I would have, even though it doesn't work, as we learned. | ||
| Right, it doesn't give you more. | ||
| It just continues. | ||
| I'd imagine people would buy milk, bread, and eggs, but no. | ||
| Toilet paper? | ||
| Yeah, toilet paper. | ||
| And toilet paper. | ||
| And fill it up with toilet paper. | ||
| Hand sanitizer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep, just fill it up! | |
| It's a bullshit too, I don't get it. | ||
| So let's read some more. | ||
| Let's read some more. | ||
| Swampy says, either virus way worse or Agenda 21 search event 201. | ||
| It's a pandemic exercise last October. | ||
| Bill Gates ID 2020, government takeover, civil unrest will happen, martial law will happen. | ||
| FEMA has been dispatched, stay safe. | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
| I used to be a hard skeptic when you'd hear Alex Jones being like, I'm telling you the FEMA camps, | ||
| and I'd be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Optimism bias, whatever you want to call it. | ||
| It's really hard to be a skeptic right now when we're literally in the midst of one of the craziest catastrophes I've ever experienced. | ||
| Like the market dropped over 10,000 points. | ||
| I know, that's insane. | ||
| That's a lot. | ||
| It's now erased all of the gains of the Trump presidency. | ||
| They're talking like New York's a ghost town. | ||
| What happens next? | ||
| And it's going to get worse for the next 45 days? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So like, if somebody came over and was sitting here and they were like smoking, they're like, so uh... Aliens are real too. | ||
| I'd be like, huh. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well. | |
| They might as well drop the bomb, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Everyone's home. | ||
| Because this is nuts. | ||
| I mean, it's not the worst. | ||
| Just give us the aliens. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| I'm just saying, like, if someone came to me and said something outrageous, I'd probably be like, man, at this point, I don't even know. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Before I'd be like, get out of here, I don't want to hear this stuff. | ||
| Now it's like, what is happening, dude? | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| I mean, it's just a disaster. | ||
| Disasters happen, you know? | ||
| You know, the thing is, we've avoided this for so long. | ||
| It was a golden age for decades. | ||
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| You know? | ||
| All good. | ||
| This too shall pass. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So, I love that saying. | ||
| You know the story of this too shall pass? | ||
| Uh, no. | ||
| It's simple. | ||
| It was like, a king thought he was, you know, gonna, you know, he told a jeweler, I want you to craft me something that will make me happy when I'm sad and sad when I'm happy. | ||
| And so, like, I'm probably getting it wrong, but he wrote on a ring, this too shall pass, and so the king could always look at it, and he would know that in his happiest moments this would end at some point and he'd be sad, but in his saddest moments he would realize this too shall pass. | ||
| Oh, that's good. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| That's like my mantra. | ||
| I've used that for a really long time. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Well, you certainly made me like it a lot more. | ||
| I dig that. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| Mine is, you can't win them all. | ||
| If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. | ||
| But remember, you can't win them all. | ||
| I always try my best, but if you beat yourself up when you don't succeed, then you're going to put yourself down too much. | ||
| You need to realize you're going to lose. | ||
| And that's when you've got to fight harder and win in the next round. | ||
| Jim St. | ||
| Armour says, hey guys, your show is massively entertaining, well thought out, and crucial to our cultural discourse. | ||
| Keep it up. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| That's so nice. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| Because I honestly would just like turn the camera on and start. | ||
| We're just chilling. | ||
| Yeah, we're just chilling. | ||
| This is basically what we've done for years. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Just sat and talked about stuff. | ||
| Yeah, we were watching Orville earlier. | ||
| That show is amazing. | ||
| Good show. | ||
| Yeah, and it's like there's a lot of, like Seth MacFarlane's really nailed it with Orville. | ||
| And we're talking about the philosophical concepts around, you know, a lot of what's going on in the show, time travel. | ||
| They did an episode. | ||
| We just watched it. | ||
| And I know this is the last season, so this is like, you know, many of you, if you've watched The Orville, you've seen it already. | ||
| But it's really, really amazing. | ||
| There's a race called Moklins. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they're single gender. | ||
| So when a baby is born female, they want to surgically transition it to male. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And then they find a planet of females who are smuggling the female babies away. | ||
| And it was really interesting because It kind of tackled a lot of issues, but not necessarily from any one real perspective. | ||
| It just kind of addressed the issue of child transition and the morality and legality. | ||
| And Seth and the union are completely opposed to, you know, surgical transition of babies, which is extreme. | ||
| I don't think anyone's talking about that for the most part right now. | ||
| But what was interesting is that I'm surprised he's not getting attacked for this by, you know, by intersectional feminists. | ||
| They don't watch that show. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| And he's anti-Trump for the most part. | ||
| They're like, yeah, he's good. | ||
| But it's cool how, you know, he's really following in the footsteps of the next generation. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Asking questions that kind of dance around our current political and social issues. | ||
| Yeah, it does remind me of that show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| It's good. | ||
| He's doing better with that than they're doing with Star Wars. | ||
| I think. | ||
| And Star Trek! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And Doctor Who! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my gosh, yeah. | |
| Did you see Discovery? | ||
| No. | ||
| I watched some of it and was like, turned it off. | ||
| I liked it. | ||
| Orville, I'm like, man, this is awesome. | ||
| And it's funny, too. | ||
| Yeah, Discovery, it's not like the Orville. | ||
| They tried to make it like an epic, like a Game of Thrones drama. | ||
| That's not Star Trek. | ||
| Yeah, it's... Star Trek was episodic. | ||
| Well, it's Star Trek Discovery, you know? | ||
| Each of the Star Treks were different in their own way. | ||
| I mean, kind of. | ||
| I think my favorite one, more than The Next Generation, was Enterprise. | ||
| Star Trek Enterprise, the first one. | ||
| In the timeline, it was the first one. | ||
| But it's just prequel after prequel after prequel. | ||
| That was good though. | ||
| The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, I liked Voyager. | ||
| But Deep Space Nine was really good. | ||
| Voyager was alright. | ||
| Yeah, Voyager was okay. | ||
| I don't know, I like it. | ||
| I think Janeway was cool. | ||
| Picard's the best. | ||
| I liked Janeway a lot. | ||
| I liked Voyager, I know a lot of people didn't like it for the most part. | ||
| Let's grab some more of these Super Chats. | ||
| Han Sammo says, buy Vietnamese. | ||
| I bought 69 USD worth of dong, and now I am one point... Is that... I don't know if that's real. | ||
| Is that real? | ||
| If China collapses, it will be worth more. | ||
| Let me see what the currency is in Vietnam. | ||
| No idea. | ||
| Curious now. | ||
| Matthew Hammond says, will countries sanction China like they did with Germany after World War I, World War II to pay for the costs involved with coronavirus? | ||
| That's why they don't want to admit it's their fault. | ||
| Yep, exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
| AJ says, I remember seeing an ad 10 to 15 years ago about the Chinese business class laughing about how we were basically paying them to take our country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Yep. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Someone called it out. | ||
| The new Marvel superhero Snowflake in safe space. | ||
| We're going to talk about it. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're going to talk about it. | |
| Brian M says, the threat of China is one of the biggest reasons we stay in the Middle East and partner with Saudis. | ||
| If we don't, then China will push in. | ||
| China is buying up debt of a lot of countries and trading for land, building outposts. | ||
| It's real complex over there with Russia. | ||
| That's scary because it's true. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| And this is the complexities of foreign policy. | ||
| My biggest thing is anti-war. | ||
| I'm just really, really opposed to the lengths we go to. | ||
| The challenge is there's so much we don't know. | ||
| What I always tell people is I'm willing to bet Trump, Obama, Bush, whoever, they get in office, they're campaigning saying, I'm going to do this. | ||
| They get in office and the intel guy goes, oh, here you go, and hands them a folder. | ||
| And they look at it and open it up and go, Whoa. | ||
| And then everything changes. | ||
| The office controls the president for the most part. | ||
| Once they realize the classified information of what's really going on, they're like, yikes, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then all of a sudden, that's why I've always been like, I just don't even want to vote for anybody, you know, because like, I don't, you know, if, and they can't tell us, because what's being said about China, I mean, and Russia too, with like the Qatar Turkey pipeline stuff. | ||
| If people knew it was really going on, they'd be freaking out. | ||
| Yeah, I bet. | ||
| Hmm says, lazing a target gets tone, which means you are locked onto the object, which means you won't miss unless countermeasures work. | ||
| So that's basically China. | ||
| When they lazed our ship, they were like, we could take you out right now if we wanted to. | ||
| Just so you know, here's this. | ||
| Yeah, they're locked down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Great. | |
| So that's odd. | ||
| Gerald Borden says, in Huntsville, Alabama, AT&T is leaving open its call center. | ||
| There are 500-plus people on the call floor, a single open space, all sharing air. | ||
| This is a call center that only talked people out of canceling. | ||
| Ugh. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Joseph says, what about Project Pogo and Zephyr? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| No clue. | ||
| No idea. | ||
| Trumple Stiltskin says, China has no combat experience, paper tiger. | ||
| That could be. | ||
| Yeah, we'll see. | ||
| Duke says, considering your tactics, the Astra Militarium needs you, Tim. | ||
| Also, I'm a local. | ||
| That safe space store ended up proving your saying true about male feminists. | ||
| Really? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| So there's a local shop that's got a safe space thing in the window. | ||
| Oh, the magic store? | ||
| It's not a magic- I mean, they don't even have cards. | ||
| Game store? | ||
| It's so weird. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Yeah, it's a game store, but they don't have any cards. | ||
| They have board games. | ||
| It's kind of weird. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's like, I don't know, man, I did not feel, uh, comfortable because like you put up a, uh, you put up a cult like message like that. | ||
| I'm not a part of your cult, man. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| So when, when you have an ideology that, that talks about safe spaces and they put signs in their window. | ||
| Nah, I'm not okay with that. | ||
| Like, because these people are associated with violence and I've gotten threats from them. | ||
| So that's just me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm not going to feel comfortable going to a place that associates with that fringe ideology. | ||
| MineMalek says, considering how big the meme about how we are screwed when Greenland gets infected, I am surprised that no one cares now that it is. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Greenland got it? | ||
| Dude, that means the kid playing Plague Inc. | ||
| just won. | ||
| We're in trouble. | ||
| Yeah, I saw something about Greenland. | ||
| It said one person has it, which means like 18%. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's a huge number because there's only like 100,000 people who live there. | ||
| Some huge percentage. | ||
| Greg says, from a Fed, China released this on their population to stop anti-government protests. | ||
| U.S. | ||
| has 100% proof. | ||
| Well, you know, when we see the proof, we'll see the proof. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Marcel DeFore says, I hope you are all staying safe. | ||
| I need to load up my Kindle for this isolation phase. | ||
| Any recommendations? | ||
| Any good books? | ||
| Sword of Truth is really good. | ||
| Wheel of Time? | ||
| Wheel of Time is really, really good. | ||
| Do they want fiction? | ||
| Well, I'm a sci-fi reader. | ||
| Both of the things I just said are really long. | ||
| Ten books or plus. | ||
| Game of Thrones is a fantastic series. | ||
| I never read Game of Thrones, but I hear it's better than the show. | ||
| There's a book series that I hear is really, really good. | ||
| It's mostly fantasy. | ||
| It's about Harry Potter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, oh, what? | |
| Never read it. | ||
| Harry Potter. | ||
| I'm waiting for, uh, to have kids. | ||
| Then I'll read it with them. | ||
| What's funny is how so many of, like, protest signs are Harry Potter references. | ||
| And, like, the criticism is like, dude, read a different book. | ||
| It's like the only books you've read. | ||
| Dragonlance, actually. | ||
| It's old school sci-fi books. | ||
| But my gaming moniker, Riverwind, is from that book. | ||
| Now everyone knows and they're going to find you on PlayStation. | ||
| Yeah, find me on PlayStation. | ||
| Dude, no man. | ||
| I turn on PlayStation and it's like you have 17,896 messages and it goes like brrring, brrring, brrring and they just don't stop. | ||
| It's just like I'm playing the game while it's chiming off with all the messages I got. | ||
| Apparently I did some video where I had my PSN gamer tag and people found it. | ||
| It's pretty easy to find it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And now everyone's friends with me on PlayStation. | ||
| Oh, yay. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| But you don't play PlayStation. | ||
| Nah, not so much anymore. | ||
| Now I just work. | ||
| I don't know why. | ||
| But I was. | ||
| And it was cool, man. | ||
| I did so much work on this van to get it good to go. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But then I was like, we did this show instead. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was hard to do, man. | ||
| Worth it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Totally. | ||
| We got some new members. | ||
| I was talking to them, not you. | ||

| Well, they love you. | ||
| You're Soy Jesus. | ||
| Rob and Portisar, thanks for becoming members. | ||
| Slybreed says, who the hell has been sharing my mod, the 5G, if the cause of- is the cause of COVID-19? | ||
| 5G, huh? | ||
| Hmm, interesting. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| DM says, they are scared, Tim. | ||
| That's why they are quiet. | ||
| Well, I don't know if that's a reference to, because we've been inundated with superchats, so I'm gonna have to speed things up in a second. | ||
| Atlas Report says, Remember when Mr. Burns is like, I'm invincible, and Dr. Hibbert says, No, actually, the slightest gust of wind could kill- Invincible! | ||
| And he walks. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Invincible. | ||
| But that's what people are doing right now. | ||
| Like, you've got the coronavirus and they're, like, rushing full speed into the toilet paper section and fighting with each other. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Getting their greasy mitts all over each other. | ||
| I don't care about that at all. | ||
| Y'all are gonna get sick. | ||
| Didn't something happen with, like, the Smurfs in France? | ||
| Yeah, I was telling you. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| The Smurfs. | ||
| They deserve it. | ||
| They were like, we don't care about the coronavirus. | ||
| What? | ||
|
unidentified

Miss our chance to be in the Guinness World Book of Records? | |

unidentified
|
Woo! | |
| Did they though? | ||
| They did! | ||
| It was the largest smurf gathering on the planet. | ||
| I hope it was worth it. | ||
| Hey man, hey, hey. | ||
| Legacy. | ||
| There's gonna be like one left in like 50 years and he's gonna be like 80% of them died. | ||
| Do you know who I am? | ||

unidentified
|
Coronavirus. | |
| Do you know who I am? | ||
| I'm the Papa Smurf. | ||
| Yeah, it's gonna be funny. | ||
| In like 50 years, there's gonna be an even bigger gathering of Smurfs. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he's gonna show up like the lone survivor of the great, you know, coronavirus pandemic. | ||
| And he's gonna be like, it was me. | ||
| I was the last one. | ||
| They're gonna cheer for him. | ||
| And he's gonna be like the Papa Smurf as the old man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Next world record. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| You made it. | ||
| Rob the Butcher says, it feels good to give y'all some dough. | ||
| Off topic question. | ||
| But would you guys do some game streaming, Doom Eternal, and then like 800 exclamation points? | ||
| Yeah, we're probably gonna set up a new channel for it. | ||
| He keeps trying to convince me to do it. | ||
| I do, I go on and off with my gaming though, so I'm not consistent with it, you know? | ||
| Sometimes I'm playing Magic, sometimes I'm playing PlayStation, and you know, sometimes I'm skating. | ||
| You know, I kinda... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Go with whatever I'm feeling. | ||
| I have a routine. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| I wake up, I do my show. | ||
| I have no routine. | ||
| Then it's like... Actually, I do now. | ||
| I have this show. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's new. | ||
| It's new. | ||
| It's nice to have a routine. | ||
| Yeah, before it's just video games. | ||
| I'm like, time to go down and talk to Tim. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alright. | |
| We were just talking upstairs, now we're gonna go talk downstairs. | ||
| Now we're gonna go downstairs and talk. | ||
| And then we'll probably go back upstairs and talk some more. | ||
| All right, so I'm gonna start going through the Super Chats faster, because we still have another thing to talk about. | ||

| Now I'm going to start moving through the Super Chat, so I apologize to those if I don't read your comments, but, you know, we're getting slammed. | ||
| The more viewers we have, the harder it is to do. | ||
| JT Brown says, if there are no consequences for the Chinese government and these wet markets, or politicians like Joe Biden take their money, we are screwed. | ||
| Red Beard says, what's your opinion of Trump's response to the question about calling it the Chinese virus it came from China? | ||
| It did. | ||
| That's a great response. | ||
| And they're trying to change the name of the Spanish flu to the 1918 flu epidemic. | ||
| Stupid. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| Literally rewriting history. | ||
| It's all because right now they're like, I don't like Trump, so we're going to change history. | ||
| What? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Shut up. | |
| Yeah, seriously. | ||
| So there was an interesting thing on the Wikipedia page while they're arguing over whether or not to keep the name Spanish flu. | ||
| Somebody commented, if you do a Google search for 1918 flu epidemic, you get a couple hundred thousand results. | ||
| If you search for Spanish flu, you get 13 million. | ||
| No one calls it this. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like, no one calls an epidemic by the year. | ||
| Yeah, no. | ||
| And so, what they said was if we change this, people are going to not understand. | ||
| They're going to think it's a separate incident. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Spanish flu is just what it's called. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Hate to say it, but names are names. | ||
| Mm-hmm true saying says Tim Barnes and Noble has no plans to shut its stores | ||

| Tovin says, I'm living and working in Mexico, sheltering in place, well prepared. | ||
| No one down here is taking this serious. | ||
| I guess if you don't test for COVID-19, doesn't exist. | ||
| Could be bad. | ||
| Could be, yeah. | ||
| Yup, and then Trump's gonna be like, we gotta build a wall, get a handle on this. | ||
| FallinSnowball, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| You know, someone in the comments like an hour ago said something about calling it the CCP virus. | ||
| Hey, yeah, I'm down with that. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| That's perfect. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It's not the Chinese people whose fault it is. | ||
| How about we call it the communist coronavirus? | ||
| The communist virus? | ||
| Because then we get to rag on communists. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And who's going to care? | ||
| Communists? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| But we don't care about them. | ||
| We do not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're not people. | |
| They're not people. | ||
| No, they are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm kidding. | |
| This is a common thought. | ||
| No, actually, I want to make sure this is clear. | ||
| I don't care if you're a communist. | ||
| We can break bread, hang out, and have a good time, as long as you're not an authoritarian. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's fair. | ||
| Which is really hard for a communist. | ||
| Just don't tell me what to do. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| Just don't tell me what to do. | ||
| So if you're like a hippie communist who wants to go live on your own private farm with your friends and do your own thing, hey, man, do your thing. | ||
| If you're the kind that wants to, like, you know, throw random people in a gulag, then we got trouble now. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Where are we at? | ||
| Nula says, I want a beanie with It's Complicated on it. | ||
| Make it so I'd buy it. | ||
| Well, we'll figure it out, but I will mention right now. | ||
| Noted. | ||
| In the description is a link to shirts. | ||
| I think mostly just shirts. | ||
| The beanie shirt? | ||
| There is a beanie shirt in that store. | ||
| As well as some, like, other logo stuff that I've designed. | ||
| Yeah, it's a beanie shirt. | ||
| It's cool, man. | ||
| I think I did a good job. | ||
| Can you see it? | ||
| It's popping up right now. | ||
| I think the beanie shirt looks cool. | ||
| So I vectorized my beanie, and then it's just, like, on the shirt. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's cool, right? | |
| It is literally your beanie. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| It's great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's cool. | |
| I mean, you guys can all see it. | ||
| It says merch. | ||
| There's a link. | ||
| Just click on it. | ||
| The craziest thing is when I've met people and they're, like, wearing the shirt, and I'm like, man, that's so crazy. | ||
| Because I just like... I want it! | ||
| I gotta get me one of those. | ||
| I ordered one. | ||
| Did you? | ||
| We can like hang it up or something. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| You gotta order me one. | ||
| I'm sure you get a discount, right? | ||
| The funny... So I did it on purpose because I thought it was funny because people kept saying like to make beanies. | ||
| And I was like, what if I made a shirt with a beanie on it? | ||
| So it's like... I think it's great. | ||
| So it's kind of like... I mean, who else is known for their beanie? | ||
| Well, I can't name anybody. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's just, you know, I guess. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| All right, let's read some more. | ||
| But yeah, it's in the description. | ||
| You can buy your beanie shirts. | ||
| Richard Levina says, I know we have a history not trusting emergency bills, but early estimates show 4 million people being out of work if there isn't a Fed small biz loan. | ||
| I say this as a small business owner myself with 50 employees. | ||
| Balthazar, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| For the small business thing, dude, I definitely think the government needs to do something. | ||
| It's annoying to me how they're saying, like, see, socialism works because the government is stepping in. | ||
| No, it's what the government does in emergencies. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And someone I know on Facebook posted something funny. | ||
| They said, the government giving you back some of the money it's taken from you is not socialism. | ||
| How generous. | ||
| Like, this is the craziest thing to me about the people I grew up with who are, you know, absolutely opposed to ever getting unemployment or food benefits. | ||
| They're like, no, no, not for me. | ||
| And I'm like, but it's your money. | ||
| Like, you pay taxes, right? | ||
| Like, I did. | ||
| You got fired, right? | ||
| I did. | ||
| Or you lost your job. | ||
| So file for unemployment. | ||
| You literally pay into unemployment insurance. | ||
| It is insurance. | ||
| So that if you lose your job, you get some money to keep going and find a new job. | ||
| And they're like, oh no, I couldn't do that. | ||
| It's like... They're just being proud. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Yeah, don't... No, exactly. | ||
| Don't be proud. | ||
| It's hard to take help. | ||
| The government took my money from me! | ||
|

|
I want it back! | |
| So what? | ||
| Yeah. | ||

| He's zealots drooling for socialism in this crisis. | ||

| What's it called? | ||
| K-L-A-A-T-U Barada. | ||
| Klaatu Barada Nikto. | ||
| I thought it was Barada. | ||
| Yeah, maybe they forgot the A. I don't know what language that is. | ||
| It's from a sci-fi. | ||
| It's from The Day the Earth Stood Still. | ||
| I think it is. | ||
| I think I've only seen that once. | ||
| And like, the guy says it, the alien dude says it to the machine that's destroying the planet, and then it stops or whatever. | ||
| Wait, is that a Keanu Reeves movie? | ||
| Well, he played Klaatu. | ||
| Oh, I've never seen that one. | ||
| Klaatu Baradu. | ||
| Yeah, I gotta see that movie. | ||

| Support small biz? | ||
| We took Tim's warnings and have everything we need in the brands we like. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Well, my warnings were never to overbuy. | ||
| It was just to get what you need for the time being. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| Maybe buy a little bit more than you normally would. | ||
| Just a little. | ||
| Yeah, just a little. | ||
| Because the people who stocked up on 800 rolls of toilet paper, you've lost your minds. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Thomas Jones says, you are the first person to give me the heads up on the toilet paper issue, and it turned out to be true in a small part of Montana. | ||
| Better than TYT, in my opinion. | ||
| Keep up the great work. | ||
| Appreciate it, man. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| Marcelo Weerman, most people only started noticing that things got real here in Europe when TP and Italian pasta vanished from Amazon Fresh. | ||
| There are some people who are just in front of things, and they're gonna snatch up that TP before you know it. | ||
| But how is that possible that these people were paying attention enough, but not smart enough not to get other things? | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| We went shopping twice. | ||
| We didn't buy toilet paper when we went. | ||
|
unidentified

No. | |
| We were like, we better get bread and like, water. | ||

| And then we bought vitamins. | ||
| Yeah. | ||

| Eddie Bear says I lost my job as a video editor. | ||
| Am not college educated. | ||
| Here if you need me. | ||
| Well, shoot an email. | ||
| But I'm not, you know, I don't really do the video editing stuff, so. | ||
| I think it's about time. | ||
| We go over to what may be one of the most nightmarish stories I've ever seen. | ||
| Yes, I'm excited. | ||
| I already have a headache here. | ||
| Marvel introduces new warriors, safe space, and snowflake. | ||
| Let that sink in. | ||
| This is not a joke. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| I thought this was a joke. | ||
| Not a joke. | ||
| I thought you were joking with me. | ||
| When I saw this on Twitter, I was like, haha, they're making fun of Marvel for getting woke. | ||
| And then I watched the video. | ||
| The introductory trailer, where the man explains why we're gonna take back Safe Space and Snowflake, and make them heroes, who are apparently twins, who are a tad incestuous. | ||
| Okay, that's me being hyperbolic. | ||
| Let people make up their own minds. | ||
| Okay, I just seeded that in your- Let me see the picture. | ||
| So first, here's Snowflake and Safe Space. | ||
| Here's the first thing I want to say. | ||
| If you like this, I got no beef. | ||
| By all means, buy the stuff. | ||
| I'm glad you're getting content that you want. | ||
| I really don't care. | ||
| That's a niche market. | ||
| Sure, I think so. | ||
| I think it's a bad idea. | ||
| My thing's always like this, though, dude. | ||
| If they want to make a product like asparagus-flavored ice cream, maybe somebody will want to buy it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm not going to rag on someone for wanting to buy asparagus-flavored ice cream. | ||
| I think it's weird. | ||
| I wouldn't want it. | ||
| But in this instance, I look at this and I'm like, this is silly. | ||
| I will not buy it. | ||
| And when they don't make money, well, then maybe they'll stop doing it. | ||
| Yeah, when when you've been talking about, you know, make something new for for this. | ||
| I didn't mean this. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It's like something cool, something. | ||
| No, actually, superhero. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm not going to think about this. | ||
| I'm just like, no, no, no, no. | ||
| I'm glad. | ||
| I don't know what the New Warriors is either. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| So the New War is actually like a longstanding comic, I guess. | ||
| Oh, OK. | ||
| Revamping. | ||
| No, I'm totally cool with this. | ||
| I'm going to criticize it. | ||
| I'm going to make fun of it. | ||
| We're going to rag on it. | ||
| But that's just my opinion. | ||
| It doesn't mean that if you like it, you know, you shouldn't and you can't go and buy it if you want. | ||
| Hey man, hey look, we're about freedom here. | ||
| You go do your thing. | ||
| Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do. | ||
| Meanwhile, I'm going to be making fun of this product. | ||
| I'll be judging this. | ||
| But you made a good point. | ||
| They often try and take old heroes and then turn them into woke caricatures. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| And that's stupid. | ||
| This... Yeah, make something new. | ||
| This is something new. | ||
| So here's what's disconcerting. | ||
| You got all these characters. | ||
| This guy's apparently screen time. | ||
| I guess his thing is that like... Oh, screen time. | ||
| He's connected to Google. | ||
| Like, I'm not kidding. | ||
| Like, I guess it's his power. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Google? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Google is his power. | ||
| Yeah, like, it's in his brain. | ||
| And so he can see memes or something. | ||
| Oh, I see. | ||
| I can see memes, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Superpower? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| But then you have these people right here that are, like, embracing each other lovingly. | ||
| They are twins. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And the weird thing is, if you look at them, you're like, this one is clearly male and this one is clearly female. | ||
| Oh, I'm sorry. | ||
| This one is non-binary. | ||
| That doesn't mean anything. | ||
| You can't just say you're something if you're clearly, definitively female. | ||
| I guess you could. | ||
| You can call yourself whatever you want. | ||
| Whatever, man. | ||
| That's just me. | ||
| You do your thing. | ||
| Careful, Tim. | ||
| Careful. | ||
| Well, no, I always want to make sure I'm clear that, like, I'm not, I'm, I always want people to do their thing. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It's funny, it says, if, if, oh, where, where, oh man, no, where did it, that's, that line. | ||
| I lost it. | ||
| Which one were you looking for? | ||
| There was a line that said, um, most twins are psychic, but we're psychic-er. | ||
| Well, it's, it's on the, it's, it's, is it here? | ||
| Yeah, there you go. | ||
| I think it's in there. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, there it is. | ||
| Psychic twins. | ||
| All twins are psychic, but we're psychic-er. | ||
| Wow, that's amazing writing! | ||
| I didn't comment on it because there's so much else to talk about. | ||
| I was like, I'm not letting that go. | ||
| I'm going to bring that up and be like, what? | ||
| Let's talk about their powers. | ||
| Safe space has the ability to make barriers around other people, because he can make a safe space. | ||
| And snowflake can create giant, or like, you know, snowflake shurikens to throw at people, I guess. | ||
| That sounds like a bad person's thing. | ||
| Like, what are you going to do with them? | ||
| You're going to kill somebody with them, and then they're going to melt, and no one's going to know who killed them. | ||
| Well, I mean... How did this person die? | ||
| There's a big gash in their chest. | ||
| They bled out, but how did it happen? | ||
| There's no weapon. | ||
| So the thing about it is, not every hero... You can get away with murder. | ||
| But what about Wolverine? | ||
| You know? | ||
| Yeah, OK. | ||
| Yeah, he's got metal claws and he can slice you up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what he does. | |
| He slices people up. | ||
| And he does it well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He does. | ||
| So look, I don't care about their powers. | ||
| I will say that in the Marvel Universe, these are anything but Omega level. | ||
| These are pathetic powers. | ||
| As far as I'm concerned, the Marvel Universe died with Tony Stark. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| When he died. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I was like, oh cool, well that was a good run. | ||
| Well, the MCU at least. | ||
| Okay, yeah. | ||
| There's been a lot of weird stuff happening in the Marvel Universe for a while and before this. | ||
| But this is like, you know, I don't want to say jumping the shark. | ||
| What would be like 10 times jumping the shark? | ||
| Jumping the sharknado. | ||
| In space. | ||
| space yes it would be like if the Fonz so you know jumping the shark comes from | ||
| yeah yeah yeah we like if the Fonz was on the moon and he jumped over a Martian | ||
| shark and then when he jumped he never landed and just flew away and started | ||
| playing like start playing music and it showed him like traveling through space | ||
| that's what this is like they were criticized for getting woke and making | ||
| So they were like, let's lean into it. | ||
| Let's go for it. | ||
| You thought it was bad before. | ||
| This is them leaning into everything. | ||
| Hold my beer. | ||
| Is that? | ||
| No, yeah. | ||
| This is them. | ||
| Screen time is bad. | ||
| Snowflake is bad. | ||
| Safe space is bad. | ||
| All of these things are bad terms. | ||
| They are leaning hard, dude. | ||
| Screen time. | ||
| And they're diverse, too. | ||
| Of course, yes. | ||
| That just feels lazy to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| They're just like, we need something new. | ||
| What should we do? | ||
| Who's got some ideas? | ||
| Oh, I got it. | ||
| Screen time. | ||
| He's got the power of Google. | ||
| It's like, oh, that's great. | ||
| Let's just run with it. | ||
| It's like, wait, what? | ||
| You thought it was a good idea? | ||
| We thought this was a good idea. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Screen time. | ||
| What? | ||
| Let's read about these... I'm going to do air quotes for heroes. | ||

All right? | |
| It's not fair to call them heroes. | ||

| A meme-obsessed super teen whose brain became connected to the internet after becoming exposed to his grandfather's experimental internet gas. | ||
| Internet gas. | ||
| That sounds terrible. | ||
| Dude, this sounds like it's a little kid who's like five. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| And just like the internet guess and he breathed it in and now he can see memes. | ||
| Do you think that's who's sitting at the table? | ||
| And the guy's like, write more, write more. | ||
| Fresh ideas. | ||
| Yeah, you're great. | ||
| Check it out, check it out. | ||
| Now he can see augmented reality and real-time maps and can instantly Google any fact. | ||
| Does this make him effectively a genius? | ||
| He sure acts like it does. | ||
| No. | ||
| Yikes. | ||
| I wanted to have teen characters who felt as, now, as the new warriors did in the 1990s. | ||
| Explains Kibblesmith. | ||
| I gotta stop right there. | ||
| The dude's name is Kibblesmith. | ||
| Okay, that explains everything. | ||
| Kibblesmith. | ||
| Yep, he got bullied too much. | ||
| That's his name. | ||
| Kibblesmith. | ||
| Kibblesmith. | ||
| It sounds very... What's the right word? | ||
| Low-T? | ||
| You know? | ||
| Is this a video we watched? | ||
| I think that's the guy. | ||
| That dude is very low-T. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| The new warriors have been zeitgeist characters from the beginning. | ||
| You get edgy skateboarding night thrasher in the 1990s, and the reality TV team in the 2000s, and now in 2020, we have new warriors who have never grown up without the internet, and one character who appears to essentially live inside it. | ||
| The word screentime is only ever used in a sort of restrictive sense. | ||
| And because we're doing a story about teenage rebels, a lot of the names are about teens fighting against labels that are put on them. | ||
| What? | ||
| If you call yourself a superhero name, don't be... Are you implying that they're fighting against being called the name they want to be called? | ||
| It would make sense actually, because people are nuts these days. | ||
| So with screentime, we liked the idea that he has infinite screentime. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| You know what I think it is? | ||
| No, I think it's more obvious than this. | ||
| They have no idea what's going on. | ||
| I think you're right. | ||
| They Google-searched, they went on Tumblr, and they read a bunch of Tumblr, and they were like, let's go with it! | ||
| People seem to want this. | ||
| Here's the lovingly embraced twins, who apparently one is non-binary, even though she's very clearly female with, you know, she's got breasts and white hips. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, you're just assuming that's the non-binary one. | ||
| No, it is. | ||
| Oh, I don't know. | ||
| Psychic twins! | ||
| All twins are psychic, but we're psychic-er! | ||
| There's that five-year-old. | ||
| What? | ||
| They're literally Antifa! | ||
| A cryokinetic can materialize snowflake-shaped shuriken projectiles for throwing. | ||
| Safe space can materialize pink force fields, but he can't inhabit them himself. | ||
| The reflex only works if he's protecting others. | ||
| They're hyper-aware of modern culture and optics, and see their superheroic as a post-ironic | ||
| meditation on using violence to combat bullying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| They're literally Antifa. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Using violence to combat bullying? | ||
| So they're bullies? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They're probably streaming this. | ||
| No, okay, I'll be fair, like, if there was a bully and you socked him one, like, that's a difference from, you know, being a bully and stopping a bully. | ||
| Do they seem like they're not? | ||
| They seem like bullies. | ||
| Yeah, they do. | ||
| They totally do. | ||
| I mean, we'll see. | ||
| Snowflake and Safe Space are the twins, the writer says, and their names are very similar to screen time. | ||
| It's this idea that these are terms that get thrown around on the internet that they don't see as derogatory. | ||
| They take those words and kind of wear them as badges of honor. | ||
| Well, that's because they're dorks. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Safe space is a big burly sort of stereotypical jock. | ||
| He can create force fields, but he can only trigger them if he's protecting somebody else. | ||
| Snowflake is non-binary and goes by they them and has the power to generate individual crystallized snowflake-shaped shurikens. | ||
| I'm sorry, I gotta stop right now. | ||
| As someone of Asian descent, I take serious offense to their use of the word shuriken for their weird ideology. | ||
| I'm gonna have to call them and get this guy fired. | ||
| Let's start a campaign. | ||
| I'm kidding, by the way. | ||
| The connotations of the word snowflake in our culture right now are something fragile. | ||
| And this is a character who is turning into something sharp. | ||
| Snowflake is the person who has the more offensive power. | ||
| And Safe Space is the person who has the more defensive power. | ||
| The idea is that they would mirror each other and compliment each other. | ||
| Now- Wow. | ||
| Be negative. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Be negative is a vampire. | ||
| And it's so lazy. | ||
| You know how he gets his power? | ||
| He gets a blood transfusion as a kid from Morbo. | ||
| Morbius. | ||
| Sorry, not Morbo. | ||
| Morbius. | ||
| It's like, oh, now he's a vampire. | ||
| Trailblazer, the morbidly obese Native American woman. | ||
| A regular kid, I mean, I guess in America. | ||
| I hope that's not a regular kid. | ||
| In America, you know, a regular kid scooped up into the world of teenage superheroing. | ||
| Her magic backpack is actually a pocket dimension with seemingly infinite space, that explains, you know, the size, from which she can pull out useful or random objects. | ||
| It's not always under her control. | ||
| She claims to get her power from God, but not the God you're thinking of, because that would be offensive. | ||
| She's a group home and foster kid who is volunteering at a senior center when this mysterious threat shows up and Night Thrasher runs to the rescue. | ||
| And because she helps him, she ends up in the crosshairs of this new outlawed law. | ||
| Trailblazer wants to help people, but she doesn't think of herself as a superhero yet, Kibblesmith concludes. | ||
| The Marvel uni- Kibblesmith? | ||
| The Marvel Universe is a reflection of our own. | ||
| And when a new law gets put into place, it affects people in unforeseen ways. | ||
| Oh, what, is she like undocumented or something? | ||
| Probably. | ||
| So here's what I love. | ||
| Like, he's right. | ||
| These characters are a reflection of people today, and they're trying to cater to them. | ||
| It's a reflection of, like, the jokes of people. | ||
| The worst parts. | ||
| Oh, gosh. | ||
| Remember when people would strive to be the best? | ||
| This feels like a joke still. | ||
| I still am having a hard time believing this is actually happening. | ||
| It's too early for April Fool's, Adam. | ||
| Yeah, I don't believe it. | ||
| I don't believe it. | ||
| It's too early. | ||
| Is it April 1st yet? | ||
| We're reading Marvel.com. | ||
| I can't believe this. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This hurts. | |
| Hold on. | ||
| Remember how, like, they used to draw superheroes where they would essentially draw them as naked and then just color their bodies? | ||
| So you would see, like, contours and, like, their butt cracks and everything. | ||
| Everything. | ||
| Now it's like... I mean, I guess they still kind of do that. | ||
| I mean, they're wearing skin-tight clothes, which is kind of weird. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was supposed to be that there was, like, burgeoning, like, muscles and strength, and the women were, like, busty and beautiful. | ||
| They were the paradigm. | ||
| You were supposed to want to be the best. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She's, like, dangerously obese. | ||
| She's a trailblazer, yo. | ||
| But my issue with this is... How far is she getting? | ||
| Aren't we supposed to be encouraging people to be healthier and do better? | ||
| Instead, we're saying, like... No, this is beautiful, Tim. | ||
| But you know what's funny? | ||
| Actually, no, I was gonna say, you know, there's... Rarely do you see, like, male superheroes being morbidly obese. | ||
| Uh, Thor. | ||
| I know, and people hated that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it was weird. | |
| Fat Thor in Endgame was weird. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So weird. | |
| He seemed out of control. | ||
| I know, and it was... It was uncomfortable. | ||
| It did not feel like a conclusion or a... It made no sense to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, I like Endgame for sure, but Endgame definitely felt like a... so long farewell to the MCU. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Like it was over. | ||
| Yeah, that's what I was saying. | ||
| Can you imagine when they bring Trailblazer and Safe Space into the MCU? | ||
| No one's gonna watch it. | ||
| That would be so amazing. | ||
| I would definitely go see it. | ||
| You would? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Yeah, we'd have to so we can rant about it on our show. | ||
| And make fun of it and throw popcorn at the screen. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| Don't waste popcorn, bro. | ||
| Yeah, that's a good point. | ||
| I'm a big fan of corn. | ||
| Dude, dude, dude. | ||
| Let's be honest. | ||
| I don't know if you know that about me. | ||
| If these characters were made into a movie, it would bomb horribly, but I would be the first person in line to see it. | ||
| I would be the first to go see it. | ||
| It would be amazing. | ||
| I would have to drink a little bit. | ||
| It would be so woke. | ||
| It would be hilarious. | ||
| It probably would. | ||
| Like, what's the fat chick gonna do? | ||
| Wait, is this a comedy? | ||
| Because that makes sense then. | ||
| No, it is not. | ||
| These people have very important virtues to signal. | ||
| So they're adding... Thank you. | ||
| Yeah, you're welcome. | ||
| Do people still buy this stuff? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| Like, I don't think anyone actually buys this stuff. | ||
| I can't imagine that they would, right? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| When Kamala's Law goes into effect in the highly anticipated one-shot Outlawed, superheroics will be left to the adults and underage heroes will be banned unless they have official government-assigned mentors. | ||
| That's where the new warriors come in to break the law. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| I mean, it sounds like they're literally Antifa, you know? | ||
| We use violence to stop violence. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that makes sense. | |
| And also, we're overweight. | ||
| I take issue with Trailblazer. | ||
| I do. | ||
| I'm sorry, I gotta say it. | ||
| Look, if you wanna read about Snowflake and Safe Space, it's fine. | ||
| They're both physically fit-looking people. | ||
| You can do or believe or call yourself whatever you want. | ||
| I don't care, man. | ||
| You do your thing. | ||
| This is what America's all about. | ||
| Pursuit of happiness. | ||
| Whatever floats your boat, you know? | ||
| And they're in shape. | ||
| Trailblazer's happy, Tim. | ||
| Yeah, but Trailblazer is a character that's going to be encouraging young people to be accepting of unhealthy lifestyles and gluttony and hedonism. | ||
| She's happy. | ||
| I don't see anything. | ||
| She looks pretty sad. | ||
| To an extent. | ||
| To an extent, you're correct. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I'm playing devil's advocate. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| But you're right. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| I will absolutely accept. | ||
| If somebody... Look, I know a lot of people, and I posted something about, you know, people should be fit. | ||
| And I got, you know, several overweight people, you know, tweeting at me saying, like, I like being overweight. | ||
| I like doing these things. | ||
| And I'm like... You do you. | ||
| Spot on, brother. | ||
| But it's not healthy. | ||
| No one told you you can't do it. | ||
| Yeah, you shouldn't be encouraging other people to do that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And they acknowledge it. | ||
| But listen, man. | ||
| If there's somebody who, in their life, they want to be overweight, they like eating the way they do, There you go. | ||
| Whatever, man. | ||
| Do your thing. | ||
| Save your own health care and do your own thing. | ||
| But we should absolutely not be encouraging young people to live this way. | ||
| I mean, it causes cancer. | ||
| It's like one of the leading causes of cancer is obesity, heart disease. | ||
| You will die. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It's not good for you. | ||
| What's the end result then? | ||
| The people just live unhealthy, awful lives and encourage it more and... | ||
| Hopefully Marvel gets a new writer that actually reads comics. | ||
| No, it's only getting worse, man. | ||
| That actually knows what comics are like. | ||
| It's only getting worse. | ||
| And also knows what the people want, because I don't think the people want this. | ||
| I do not think the people want this. | ||
| This is like the 2% of... | ||
| Not even. | ||
| And then 2% of that, they're like appeasing such a small... It's like Sanders going after the transgender vote in prisons. | ||
| No, that was Warren. | ||
| Or Warren was going after that. | ||
| Whatever, it doesn't matter. | ||
| The 400 people. | ||
| The 400 people in the world. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Why are you going after that? | ||
| Why are you going after that little market? | ||
| Don't get it. | ||
| Safe space. | ||
| The market is here, but we gotta appease these people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't understand. | |
| I don't get it. | ||
| Think about the popular comics. | ||
| I mean, the MCU's been pretty good. | ||
| But look at how popular Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America were. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they were white males. | ||
| Buff, tall. | ||
| Well, not Robert Downey Jr. | ||
| He's not buff, but he's Tony Stark. | ||
| But he's Tony Stark. | ||
| His charisma. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| Tony Stark is a dick. | ||
| Like, that's literally who his character is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He has charisma, though. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure, sure, sure. | |
| He is a jerk. | ||
| Yeah, but... He's like... they made him move... like, Tony Stark is supposed to be kind of a bad dude. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's a bad dude, but he's a superhero. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| That was kind of the point of the character. | ||
| Could they make someone that was a completely detestable individual, but was still the hero? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And people love it. | ||
| And Robert Downey Jr. | ||
| did an amazing job of it. | ||
| He was the best actor. | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's done such a good job. | |
| But seriously, you know, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, they're stereotypical. | ||
| Stereotypical is not the right word, but they're like... Type. | ||
| Well, it's the hero's journey to an extent. | ||
| It's very predictable stuff. | ||
| It's classic. | ||
| And it's a white male lead. | ||
| And people love it. | ||
| They made millions and billions and billions. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And now it feels like it's kind of over. | ||
| I mean, you know, with Endgame, sure, we can say it kind of ended, but Far From Home, Spider-Man, I thought was awesome. | ||
| Yeah, they're great. | ||
| Yeah, so they're gonna be doing more. | ||
| I'm excited for that. | ||
| Yeah, I'm glad they're doing that. | ||
| I'm excited for the next Doctor Strange stuff. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| If they put Snowflake in safe space anywhere near the MCU at all, I'd probably just stop going. | ||
| Yeah, no, that would be the last thing. | ||
| If they made a new Warriors movie with them, I'd be like, go see it. | ||
| I'd be all excited. | ||
| Like, this is gonna be hilarious. | ||
| But if they insert them and try to, like, force it into the MCU? | ||
| I mean, look, Fat Thor's already bad enough. | ||
| Oh man. | ||
| Like, people didn't like Dark World. | ||
| I liked Dark World. | ||
| That was fine. | ||
| Thor Dark World? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Is that the third one? | ||
| Second one. | ||
| Second one. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| And then Ragnarok. | ||
| Yeah, that was okay. | ||
| I liked Ragnarok. | ||
| You did? | ||
| Yeah, I liked that one too. | ||
| But Ragnarok started is where they saw the silliness they could embrace. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then with Endgame, they were like, let's go overboard. | ||
| I don't see that happening. | ||
| of Thor. That was not his arc. He was... it's crazy to me that his homeworld is | ||
| destroyed and he makes it through. Yeah. Asgard is wiped out and he's fine. Yeah. | ||
| And then Thanos snaps the universe and he becomes a whiny sniveling little baby. | ||
| I don't see that happening. Yeah, that's unrealistic. Nope. | ||
| He was supposed to be king. Right. How could... they just... | ||
| it was like it didn't make sense for the character. | ||
| But he didn't blame himself for Asgard being destroyed but he blamed himself | ||
| because he didn't get a chance to kill and he didn't I can kind of see it. | ||
| I always try to look at the other side. | ||
| But you're totally right, though. | ||
| That wasn't Thor-like. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It was just not his character. | ||
| But that's it. | ||
| Thor's gonna be a girl. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And that's why I think the MCU is really over. | ||
| But didn't that actually happen in the comics, though? | ||
| And people hated it. | ||
| A female Thor? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Jane. | ||
| Jane Foster becomes Thor. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| In the comics. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So now Jane Foster is gonna be Lady Thor in the movie, apparently, and I guess people are gonna not like it. | ||
| Hey, it could be good. | ||
| I really like Thor films. | ||
| Captain Marvel made money. | ||
| And if it's Taika Waititi, then I'm pretty sure it's gonna be good. | ||
| So, the one thing I'll say to all this silliness... Snowflake and Safe Space... Like, I'll tell you what, man. | ||
| They might as well just make a clown. | ||
| And call him, like, Captain Clown. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| No, just Clown. | ||
| Just Clown. | ||
| My name's Clown. | ||
| No authority. | ||
| And he has no powers. | ||
| He's just a clown. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he fights villains by throwing pies. | ||
| Or a bright orange man that's Orange Man Bad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's the villain. | |
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, the villain is the orange man. | ||
| Just go for it. | ||
| Just go for it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why not? | |
| Cheater. | ||
| Dictator. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, the orange man. | ||
| No, no, no, but Snowflake in Safe Space is such a ridiculous caricature of superhero and comic characters. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They may as well have just made a clown. | ||
| Feels like it. | ||
| The colorful cartoon, the ridiculous name. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And have him throw pies. | ||
| So how could, what is this? | ||
| I'll tell you what, man. | ||
| I still almost just can't believe this is even real. | ||
| When I first saw this, especially the overweight woman, and then like, I'm gonna reiterate this, I'm just gonna point out again, like they're lovingly embraced, they're loving embraced. | ||
| It's so weird. | ||
| I don't like it. | ||
| They're psychic-er. | ||
| Uncomfortable. | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| They have like a weird relationship. | ||
| That's a little weird. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| They're not normal twins. | ||
| Yeah, that's not cool. | ||
| As they stated. | ||
| Normal twins are like this. | ||
| Well, we're twin-ier. | ||
| Maybe other people just know better than me, but if you were a fraternal twin with a male, would you hug and embrace like that? | ||
| I know some twins. | ||
| Are they weird? | ||
| No. | ||
| They're normal people. | ||
| Like normal, right? | ||
| They act like friends. | ||
| Yeah, they're siblings. | ||
| Yeah, but they don't hold each other. | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| Marvel is just... | ||
| Look, but I'll be honest though, I don't read the comics. | ||
| Neither do I. Right, it's been a long time. | ||
| I used to. | ||
| And so that's what they know. | ||
| They know that you and I don't care. | ||
| And so they don't care that we're making fun of it. | ||
| There's going to be some Tumblr kids who are going to be like, oh cool, non-binary! | ||
| Yeah, snowflake! | ||
| Shoo, shoo, I'm throwing snowflakes! | ||
| Mom, can you get me this snowflake thing so I can throw snowflakes and be non-binary? | ||
| And she's going to be like, okay. | ||
| And he's going to go to a birthday party and someone's going to get him safe space. | ||
| And they're trying to popularize it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey look, I've got my safe space action figure. | |
| You're now in a safe space, Tim. | ||
| You know what's gonna be funny? | ||
| It's gonna be funny when some little girl's like, I need to start eating more if I want to be like Trailblazer. | ||
| And then their parents are gonna be like, why is she gaining so much weight? | ||
| She's trying to be like her favorite hero. | ||
| And then she's not gonna be able to do anything close to what Trailblazer does because | ||
| she's gonna be overweight and unable to actually do stuff. | ||
| But what does she do? She pulls stuff out of her backpack. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| That's... any kid can do that. | ||
| Her name is Trailblazer. | ||
| This is what they're trying to do though. | ||
| They're trying to figure out how they can sell comics to the fat kids with the backpacks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That makes sense. | ||
| That's what it's all about. | ||
| That's one of the reasons why they have this big push for diversity. | ||
| It's not because they think they're morally right to do so, it's because they're like, how do we get comic books in the hands of these groups? | ||
| Make characters for them. | ||
| They're kind of trying to target a group that they haven't gotten before, I guess. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| And by ostracizing all of the other people that used to like their comments. | ||
| But sales are down. | ||
| So here's what they're thinking. | ||
| They don't want to be Blockbuster Video. | ||
| They want to be Netflix. | ||
| And that means if your sales are dropping, their attitude is like, flip the business, do something else. | ||
| Even if it's very different. | ||
| I don't see this working. | ||
| I mean, I don't. | ||
| No one's going to buy this stuff. | ||
| Dora the Diabetic. | ||
| That's what someone said. | ||
| That was a great comment. | ||
| I just randomly saw that on the way through. | ||
| That was funny. | ||
| We're instantly banned. | ||
| We're going to get in trouble now. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Oh, that was funny. | ||
| Let's grab some of these last few Super Chats and then we're getting close to wrapping up for the day. | ||
| Oh man. | ||

| Miles says the thing about the earthquake is there is no major fault in Utah. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| I heard that there was. | ||
| I have a friend who lives in Utah and he's like, yeah, there's like a fault line here. | ||
| Utah fault line. | ||
| You ever see that show Big O? | ||
| No. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| I don't remember. | ||
| It was a long time ago. | ||
| It used to be on Adult Swim, but wasn't it something like... | ||
| They realized they were in a simulation, because all of a sudden the simulation, like, erased a bunch of people or something? | ||
| I can't remember. | ||
| And I have no idea. | ||
| Thanos snapped. | ||
| Thanos snapped? | ||
| No, but he was like, he piloted, this guy piloted a giant robot for some reason. | ||
| I don't remember. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| Utah has experienced many earthquakes, large and small, because of its abundance of faults and fault zones. | ||

| The True Slushie says, what's your guys' favorite activities right now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Skating. | |
| Skating, yeah. | ||
| We've been skating a lot. | ||
| Magic, I've got this love-hate relationship with it, because you've got to play with other people's decks that they make that could be not fun to play against, but skating. | ||
| Skating's about you. | ||
| I landed that double kickflip today, folks. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So I've been skating for 20, more than 20 years. | ||
| I've basically done, like, every flip trick. | ||
| The one I've never done is a regular laser flip. | ||
| And so that's a frontside 360 heelflip on flat, board spins 360 degrees, flips in the heel direction. | ||
| I've never done that. | ||
| So, you know, basically what I do is every time I go out, every season, every year, I go through the list of, like, every possible trick. | ||
| And so... That's true. | ||
| I watch them do it. | ||
| It's pretty crazy. | ||
| And sometimes I do more than... My goal is to always do one per day that I haven't done yet. | ||
| So, when I was younger, it was like, I gotta learn a new trick today. | ||
| But I've basically done all of them, except for a laser flip, which I actually think I'm getting close to. | ||
| I might actually be able to pull off, because I nailed that varial heel flip. | ||
| Yeah, you did. | ||
| So, today, you nailed the backsmith on the mini. | ||
| I did. | ||
| And a double kickflip off the mini into a little mini bank thing we got going on. | ||
| Yeah, it felt so good. | ||
| Yeah, it was good. | ||
| I wish I'd recorded some of that. | ||
| It was super cool. | ||
| Well, we'll get to that point soon. | ||
| We're not ready for that yet. | ||
| I know. | ||
| But, you know, the best thing about skateboarding is that you're just, like, in your zone. | ||
| It's just you. | ||
| You do your thing. | ||
| You're trying to improve yourself. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| That's what it's all about, man. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| It's like real life. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| Tonya Reed says, It's like that in some countries. | ||
| districts will shut down and everyone even the TP hoarders will be collecting | ||
| their wiping tools and trash bags because we can't flush from backups of | ||
| napkins and paper towels it's like that in some countries I remember you can't | ||
| flush anymore it said they put up signs saying do not flush toilet paper and I | ||
| was like certainly they must mean if for like blowing your nose right cuz I'm | ||
| gonna know yeah the garbage bin was full of yeah yeah yeah American sensibilities | ||
| These are grossed out. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| Well, in Brazil, they have hoses. | ||
| And what you're supposed to do after you finish is you squat over the drain in the middle of the bathtub and just spritz. | ||
| I'm not kidding. | ||
| That's what they do. | ||
| What a sensitive way to put that. | ||

| And it's gonna, like, kill farming and stuff? | ||
| Yeah, it's gonna cloud out the sun. | ||
| So build a bunker underground. | ||
| Wait until it goes away. | ||
| No, that's what people are doing. | ||
| Those rich people are doing it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then you live underground. | ||

| Kibblesmith. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kibblesmith. | |
| Such a weird name. | ||
| It's so random. | ||
| It really does, when I think of that name, it reminds me of like a pastel colored room with like... Is that an actual last name? | ||
| Kibblesmith. | ||
| It reminds me of dog food. | ||
| I don't believe it's real, you know why? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because last names are derivative of what people would do for work. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Kibble. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Did they make dog food? | ||
| Yeah, is this the guy whose family is making puppy chow or something? | ||

| You know why so many people are named Smith? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| You know why there's so many people named Smith? | ||
| Because they couldn't pronounce the names when they came over? | ||
| Because in the wars in Europe, the people who wouldn't be sent to war and the people who would be spared were the blacksmiths. | ||
| So when an invading force came in, they would spare the smiths because they needed weapons. | ||
| And when the war started, no one would send out the smiths because they needed weapons. | ||
| So everyone else died. | ||
| And the smiths lived. | ||
| The smiths survived. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| Crazy, right? | ||

| I'm peaceful, man. | ||
| I'm peaceful. | ||
| Yeah, well, what? | ||
| Until you tell me what to do. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And then it's on. | ||
| I got no issue if we end up, like, I don't like this guy's work. | ||
| It's nothing about him personally, you know? | ||
| So I'll make fun of him or whatever, but, you know, in the end, | ||
| end if like I'm sure if we had a burger together it'd be no big deal. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Unless he gets really offended and he's a snowflake. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| He might. | ||
| Because some of these people they can't handle it. | ||
| Unless he is a snowflake. | ||

| That's amazing. | ||
| I read it. | ||
| I can't remember exactly what it was, but she, like, convinced him of something. | ||
| Shove nuts in his mouth? | ||
| No, I don't know, but Squirrel Girl's funny. | ||
| Squirrel Girl's not woke. | ||
| Squirrel Girl is silly. | ||
| I'm like, great, they're going to ruin her by making her woke then. | ||
| I think they made her fat. | ||
| I think they made her like, yeah, I think they made her like chunky. | ||
