adam crigler
It's the end of the world.
As we know.
tim pool
And we're back!
adam crigler
What's going on everybody?
tim pool
I'm Tim.
That's Adam.
I'm Adam.
We're hanging out.
adam crigler
That's Tim.
We're hanging out.
tim pool
There's a ton of news.
adam crigler
Yes there is.
tim pool
It's starting to get crazy because I guess people are freaking out but I have this really funny article that I wanted to lead with.
Yahoo actually published this guy.
Hell is coming, here is the mathematical proof, but this is truly a glorious idol statue for the late-stage capitalism.
Yeah.
I guess so.
The story is hilarious.
It's basically like... Well, it's not hilarious.
No, it is.
adam crigler
There's a coin of humor in there.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
Basically, this guy wrote an article where he's like, Hundreds of thousands will die.
So we're bullish on hospital stocks.
Make sure you invest.
There's going to be a great return after everyone dies.
Yeah, I love it.
But there's a bunch of other stuff, too.
So we've got, you know, Illinois is now on lockdown.
We got the big three.
That's Chicago, New York, Los Angeles all closed.
adam crigler
Makes sense.
tim pool
It's spreading.
The lockdowns are coming.
And we have a media that is begging for a national lockdown.
Begging for it.
So there's been a bunch of articles saying, like, it's gonna happen, it's coming, it's happening.
Now we've got, we have one from the Hill literally saying, shut us down, please, Mr. President, bring on the martial law and send out the army and all that, you know, stuff.
They're doing that in Italy.
And so I decided, you know, take a look at these people that are clamoring for a national lockdown.
As we're looking at a country actually doing it.
So first of all, China did it.
They're, you know, insane.
Locking people in their homes and stuff like that.
Then we have Italy that is now bringing out the army to enforce the lockdown.
Like, people in Britain and in Spain are getting arrested for breaking quarantine.
There's some reports that it's happening in Israel, too.
adam crigler
In France, too, right?
tim pool
I don't know.
adam crigler
I read.
tim pool
Probably.
I wouldn't be surprised.
And so now we have people in our own country saying that we need the military to come out.
There have been a bunch of viral videos of Humvees and military vehicles on trains being shipped through Chicago and stuff like that.
People are freaking out.
adam crigler
People are tagging me in that.
tim pool
But I think it's going to happen.
You know why?
We've got data showing that, and we were pointing out before the show, the data might be unfair.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
But it shows that the U.S.
is tracking faster than Italy.
And according to one bit of data, the U.S.
is seeing more cases of coronavirus.
It's growing faster percentage-wise than any other country.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
So our curve of growth infection rates is steeper than all the other countries.
Now, that's percentage-based.
So, the thing about the Italy stuff is that we've got a much bigger population.
So, if we see more cases, well, that's just because we have way more people.
adam crigler
Yeah, but the percentage is where you're going.
tim pool
Percentage is where it starts to get freaky.
So, we just had, I think, like 675 deaths in one day in Italy.
adam crigler
That's a lot.
tim pool
And you want to know why they brought in the military?
adam crigler
Just to move the bodies, right?
tim pool
To move the bodies.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
That's crazy, man.
People are underestimating this.
adam crigler
I saw some videos they're doing at night, so it doesn't freak people out.
tim pool
Really?
Yeah, the end is nigh.
So last night, as soon as we finished the show, I made sure to run into the middle of the street in front of my house and started just doing the Joker dance.
adam crigler
Yeah, you did a little bit.
tim pool
Yeah, I just had to do it.
adam crigler
I took one foot on and I was like, this is too much.
unidentified
I can't do it.
tim pool
But it was a matter of principle.
I will not be contained.
And then I was like, okay, I'm done.
I'm gonna go back inside.
I'm tired.
Came back in.
unidentified
I got nowhere to go.
adam crigler
That was fun.
Let's just go back inside.
tim pool
So, uh, let's, uh, let's just jump into it.
adam crigler
Let's just do it.
tim pool
Let's dive in.
But, uh, before we do, uh, if you guys want to hop into Super Chat, we'll read your comments.
As most of you know, once we start getting inundated with too many Super Chats, we have to sort of speed things up, and we've been getting really slammed by- I appreciate all the support, for sure.
So, uh, we'll do our best to read as many as we can in between the segments.
We got a ton of stories.
Celebrities are going insane.
Yeah.
adam crigler
That's not really surprising, though, because most celebrities are insane.
tim pool
Yeah, they're like, egotistical, narcissistic, and so they're like, they react weird when they have no attention.
adam crigler
Well, and, I mean, we were talking about YouTubers would get depressed when their views are down.
Imagine, like, A-list celebrities that are used to just, like, paparazzi.
Like, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
tim pool
Now locked in their bathroom.
adam crigler
Now they're in their homes with absolutely nothing.
tim pool
I'm sorry.
adam crigler
I said, wait a minute.
tim pool
I said, dude, that floorbow Sam Smith was apparently crying.
adam crigler
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
Breaking down, having a mental breakdown.
adam crigler
I don't even know who that is.
tim pool
It's the, it's the, uh, uh, Florbo's the Florbo who, uh, I can't do it.
It's this guy, he's a guy.
I'm sorry, he's a dude.
This is the dude that got sued by Tom Petty for, he did a, you know that song, it's like, I won't back down.
adam crigler
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Oh.
tim pool
I won't back down.
adam crigler
I remember this whole thing.
tim pool
And then his song was like a slower version that was only similar in that one part.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And he got sued.
adam crigler
I thought that was kind of dumb because... And Tom Petty won, right?
tim pool
Yeah, I think it's stupid.
Because Sam Smith's like a... He's, you know, he's like 20.
adam crigler
Did he even know who Tom Petty was?
tim pool
That's what he says, like, I don't even know who this guy is.
Like, I've never heard this song before.
lydia smith
I don't even know who you are.
tim pool
You know what's the craziest thing too?
adam crigler
And then we find out that his mom played it, like, while she was in his womb, or in her womb.
tim pool
Yeah, well, this happens.
adam crigler
With the headphones over, you know.
tim pool
No, it's not that.
It happens a lot that people will hear a song.
adam crigler
Right, on the radio and Walmart.
tim pool
And they won't know.
They'll start humming it.
adam crigler
Yeah, it happened to me.
Happened to me the other day.
What was that song?
lydia smith
Oh, that was the Billie Eilish song?
adam crigler
Yeah, Billie Eilish song.
Did you say Billie Eilish?
lydia smith
I did, that's what I call it.
adam crigler
Oh, Billie Eilish?
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
You know what's really crazy, though?
Remember that song, uh, what's it called?
You know the one where, like, the three dudes are, like, dancing, and then, uh, blurred lines.
And, like, the naked women are dancing and stuff?
They got sued and lost.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Because the beat sounded too much like, I think, like a Marvin Gaye song beat.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
That's insane to me.
It's like, we're talking about, like, a drum rhythm, and they got sued over it.
adam crigler
All I know is the Weird Al song Word Crimes came out and that was amazing.
tim pool
That's a good song.
adam crigler
It's so good.
Everyone needs to go check that song out.
tim pool
The music video is awesome.
adam crigler
It's so good.
Yeah, the music video is awesome too.
tim pool
Alright, let's read the story.
Hell is coming.
Here is the mathematical proof.
lydia smith
Drama.
tim pool
And then from there, we'll take a look at reality.
So here's what this guy says, and I'm not going to read too much of this because we don't need to go through his math, but he says, Right now, 2 million Americans are infected with the coronavirus.
The total U.S.
death toll by April 15th will be more than 20,000.
We estimate that 80,000 of the 2 million infected Americans will be hospitalized over the next two weeks.
That's why we are short-term bullish on hospital stocks.
There's your financial advice.
adam crigler
Is he trying to like throw some humor in there?
tim pool
No, this is a legit financial advisory newsletter.
Yeah, so first of all, I don't know where he's getting that number 2 million Americans are infected.
I think he's extrapolating.
So he goes through the math.
He basically makes an estimation based off of So, when you look at the Japanese Diamond Princess, he looked at the amount of people on the ship, the amount that were tested, the amount that were positive, and the amount that were died, and then from there, blows up his estimation to American proportions, and comes to the conclusion there are, you know, two million people who are infected.
I think it's all silly.
But sure, whatever.
But what's really funny about the story is that it's basically this long explanation of how, you know, Trump is shifting the blame to China and we're gonna have all these people, you know, dying.
In the average recession, the S&P 500 index declines by 32%.
Do you think this is going to be an average recession?
So here's what he says.
Hospital stocks will financially benefit from near 100% utilization rates because usually their utilization rates hover around 50%.
So it's basically, this is where we are today.
adam crigler
So it's great for anyone who has stocks in hospitals.
tim pool
Yes, and he's advising you to short-term do it.
There was another bit of financial advice I was reading where they basically said, this is gonna come in waves.
Everyone's predicting there'll be another wave in November, and that we might actually go into two months of lockdown, one month of open activity, two months of lockdown, one month open, until everyone gets it, and then they're immune to it.
Yeah, and that'll go on for nearly two years.
So, next November, December 2021.
That was MIT Review wrote that story.
And because of that, people are saying, like these financial advisors are saying, don't get back in the market, period.
And they're like, put options, like bet the stocks will fail.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
That's where we're at.
adam crigler
That's what I'm thinking.
Like, I have zero interest.
I was like, when it first started happening and it was still like, is it a scare?
Is this, is this real?
And there was like a, that the first day there was like that massive drop.
And I was like, Oh, maybe I should buy some stocks.
And I didn't.
tim pool
It was at 25.
adam crigler
And I, I'm glad I didn't.
And now I'm like, I have, I don't want anything to do with this at all.
tim pool
Now it's, it dipped briefly below like 1900.
adam crigler
It's crazy, man.
unidentified
That's crazy.
adam crigler
It's going to keep dropping, don't you think?
tim pool
Oh yeah, totally.
Well, check this out.
Boom!
COVID-19 cumulative cases U.S.
vs. Italy 11-day lag.
So, apparently what they're trying to do with these graphs, and we've seen graphs like this before, is to sync up first reported cases from, like, you know, the U.S.
daily or something.
So, the dates don't really make a whole lot of sense.
adam crigler
Right, right, right.
tim pool
But you can see that the growth... So, perhaps this is a different chart.
Maybe they're graphing by the amount of people infected, period.
But what we end up seeing is that by March 20th, relative to where Italy was when they saw their first infected, we're almost double.
And the really important factor here is that the U.S.
is above a 33% daily increase, and I believe the only other country that's close is Spain, and Spain is actually just below that.
So the UK is just below it too.
I think the US might be the only country now that's well above a 33% daily increase.
That means every two days we're more than, or, you know, we're adding, well, there you go, 33% daily increase.
We're also, according to that first article, doubling our deaths every three days.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
And we're doubling the total infections every two or three days.
adam crigler
Oh my goodness.
tim pool
Yeah.
Welcome to the lockdown, man.
It's coming.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
What's your plan?
adam crigler
It feels like we need it.
I mean, we see this and we see what's happening.
It's like, who's going to be upset about it?
Who's going to want to go outside?
I don't want to go to the store.
I don't want to go anywhere.
I want to stay in this house and stay away from people.
tim pool
But you know what gets me, like, it's kind of crazy that you always hear these dystopian stories about how the government's gonna come down and demand, you know, they're gonna lock you in your home, you're not gonna be able to speak or say things.
Nah, everyone's begging for it right now.
They're saying, please!
lydia smith
Please lock us in our homes!
Well remember in 1984, we never thought it would be voluntary that they'd be watching us with cameras either, and yet here we are.
We want to be in front of cameras.
tim pool
Exactly.
You know what it was?
Somebody read 1984 and they were like, you know what?
It's not an instruction manual, that meme where they're like, 1984 wasn't supposed to be an instruction manual, and they held up signs saying it.
No, it wasn't.
It was like tips and tricks, you know?
So basically the authoritarians looked at it and they're like, oh, that's why these things don't work.
lydia smith
We need to make them want to do that.
tim pool
Yes.
That's how democracy dies.
With thunderous applause.
Is that the line from Star Wars?
adam crigler
A year from now, we find out coronavirus was not as bad as we think it is.
tim pool
No, I know.
adam crigler
But then, you know, they put it in these laws, like in very fine print at the very bottom that Is this just the way it is now?
tim pool
No, dude.
adam crigler
We just can't go out?
tim pool
You're not gonna find out.
You'll never know.
It's gonna be, you know, 20 years, and then there's gonna be some dude who, like, finds an old file and, like, blows it off, and he, like, and he opens it up, and then it's, like, the conspiracy, and he's gonna go, my God, and then there's gonna be someone, you couldn't leave well enough alone, could you, Pritzker?
adam crigler
And injects him with a needle of a coronavirus?
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
The governor of Illinois, Pritzker?
tim pool
Oh, really?
I was just trying to come up with a random name for, like, the journalist.
Oh, you know what it is?
It's actually because I'm looking at it right now.
That's probably what it was.
I didn't even realize.
lydia smith
I'm looking at the article.
tim pool
Or it could be that Governor Pritzker uncovers the coronavirus conspiracy in 20 years.
He's an old man and he's like, I can't believe it!
It was a trick!
You couldn't leave well enough alone, could you, Pritzker?
unidentified
Pritzker.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I must've, uh, I was reading it and I just like picked up the name, but, uh, well, let's do this first.
So Illinois is under lockdown, obviously.
And New York is in a shelter in place.
It's funny.
Cause I've, I was talking to a friend up in New York and they were like, I'm going to leave.
I don't want to be stuck in the city.
And I was like, leave now.
We go leave now.
And he's like, eh, I mean, what's the worst that's going to happen?
I'm like, they're going to make you stay in your house.
And he's like, they won't be able to enforce it.
I'm like, dude, watch.
adam crigler
Yeah, watch.
tim pool
Well, there you go, buddy.
There you go, buddy.
Enjoy being in New York!
lydia smith
Enjoy being in your house.
adam crigler
Well, he's got until Sunday.
tim pool
Right, right, right, right.
adam crigler
He needs to leave now or tomorrow.
tim pool
You know what, man?
adam crigler
And not touch anyone.
Right.
He was over here a couple weeks ago.
lydia smith
Bumping feet with us.
adam crigler
Yeah, he was like, you can touch my elbow.
tim pool
Well, New York is the epicenter now.
adam crigler
Yeah, right.
It was Seattle.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
adam crigler
It was Seattle.
tim pool
That's crazy.
Now it's New York.
adam crigler
Now it's New York.
Which, that's what I, I said it.
I knew it was gonna happen.
As soon as it hit New York, I was just gonna be like, boom!
And sure enough.
tim pool
Dude, New York's so dense.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's crazy.
There's so many people there.
tim pool
And have you gone to their, like, fish markets?
adam crigler
No, I never.
tim pool
Like, when you go to Chinatown in Manhattan?
adam crigler
I never liked fish.
I was never a big fan.
tim pool
It's just, like, open trays of fish over ice.
adam crigler
It's like... Oh, yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, dude.
adam crigler
I would skate past it sometimes.
tim pool
You know, Manhattan has a certain aroma that I would say is akin to sour milk.
adam crigler
It depends on the season, actually.
tim pool
Yes, yes, yes.
adam crigler
In midsummer, it is... Sour milk.
...ripe.
tim pool
The city smells so bad.
adam crigler
It really does.
tim pool
Dude.
adam crigler
But if you're skating fast enough, you can skate past the smells.
tim pool
You know what's really crazy to me?
I've been to a bunch of different countries.
One of the craziest things I've ever experienced was I was in Morocco, and I landed in Casablanca, and I was transferring then to Marrakech.
And so I'm in the Casablanca airport.
And I'm following the signs to find my connecting flight.
When all of a sudden, the lights, as I'm walking down the hall, slowly stop working, flickering and then off.
And there's a sign pointing and I turn and it's just dark.
Like, no lights at all.
And there's like holes in the wall.
And I'm like, clearly I must have taken a wrong turn.
Yeah.
And I am no longer in the functioning part of the airport.
When all of a sudden a guy in a suit, like normal looking, like American kind of guy.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
He just like walks past me wheeling his suitcase and I'm like, I'll follow this guy.
And then as we made our way through, it really did look like I was in an abandoned building.
And then eventually we made it to an open area where the lights started turning back on, and there were some shops, and this was like normal looking and clean, and I was like, that was crazy.
So anyway, I bring that up because it's a funny story, but I've been to a bunch of these countries and I always kind of look around at the ground and stuff.
And I find it interesting, like in Egypt, driving along the highway, you can see a bunch of buildings that are falling apart or like never finished being built.
And I was like, wow.
And then I came back to the US and I was like, I'm glad to be back in America where everything's like, you know, built and put together.
And then I was in Brooklyn and I was like, well then.
adam crigler
Wait a minute.
tim pool
Seriously, there are parts of Brooklyn that are busy areas, rows of buildings that are just boarded up and empty, and I'm like, I have to wonder, is this a simulation, and are those the ones they never bothered to design the inside of, and that's why you can't go in them?
adam crigler
Well, there's been an uptake of rent control running out, so people no longer can afford.
The landlords suddenly go from getting $500 a month to demanding $5,000 a month.
CBGB's was like 1,200 bucks a month for a while, and then the landlord was like, alright, 10 grand now.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
And CBGB's was like, okay, we're closed.
tim pool
Right into somebody else.
adam crigler
Sorry.
tim pool
Yeah, but basically... Shame.
adam crigler
You know, Manhattan... What's happening all over the place.
tim pool
Yeah, but like even in Manhattan, take a look at the ground, man.
adam crigler
Yeah, there's trash everywhere.
tim pool
It's trash, it's cracked, it's brittle and broken, the buildings look awful.
adam crigler
That's one of the biggest things I couldn't stand about New York.
I actually watched my neighbor walk out to her car and open the door and clean her car out by just throwing trash on the ground.
Just like, not a little bit of trash, all of the trash.
tim pool
Oh, dude.
adam crigler
I was flabbergasted.
I didn't know what to do.
tim pool
I have seen people driving in Manhattan, open their doors, and just kick out trash.
Like all over the street.
adam crigler
I can't stand it.
tim pool
And that's why it's like, I kid you not, skating in Manhattan gives you a certain perspective.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Most people don't realize because you have to dodge the sour milk.
adam crigler
You gotta dodge a lot.
You gotta dodge people, tourists, cars, cabs, buses.
tim pool
Well, that's normal.
That's everywhere.
That's Chicago.
That's LA.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But in New York.
adam crigler
No, LA is not like New York.
Chicago isn't either.
tim pool
Well, downtown Chicago.
adam crigler
No, Chicago's spread out.
Chicago's like a pushed out, spread apart.
tim pool
Downtown Chicago.
adam crigler
Yeah, I've skated around downtown Chicago.
tim pool
But Manhattan is like, New York City is like five downtown Chicago's all jammed into one.
adam crigler
Yeah, pushed together.
tim pool
But, you know, I frequently dodge, there's like, the water has like a hint of milk in it.
In New York, everywhere, like all the time.
And you can smell it.
adam crigler
And Chicago dyes the water green.
And it just stays green.
unidentified
Remember when Dave Matthews' band... They don't even need to dye it anymore.
adam crigler
It's already green. We're good.
tim pool
Remember when Dave Matthews' band bus drove over the bridge and the guy pulled the sewage line and dumped it all over
the people on that boat?
adam crigler
No.
tim pool
You didn't know that?
adam crigler
Are you serious?
unidentified
So get this.
tim pool
This happened.
Gross.
I'm pretty sure it was Dave Matthews' band.
I don't want to get sued.
adam crigler
Well, it's Dave Matthews' poop, so...
tim pool
No, the band didn't know.
So there was a riverboat with people having a wedding or something, in fancy suits and sipping their wine, and they went under the bridge right as the bus went over it, and the bus driver was like, I don't want to deal with going to the RV camp to drain the toilet, so he just pulled it, and it sprayed...
Everything.
Dude, people don't understand.
adam crigler
Oh, I laugh, but that is so gross.
I feel so bad for those people.
tim pool
I don't know if you've ever actually dealt with draining an RV.
adam crigler
I have.
I've lived in an RV for a while.
tim pool
The black water?
adam crigler
I travel around Europe.
tim pool
It's black slime.
adam crigler
Yeah, it melts everything away.
It's not that bad, actually, when you have a good, like, there's these canister things that you go outside and you pull it out.
tim pool
I'm not talking about draining it.
I'm talking about what it is and spraying all over a bunch of people who are on the boat.
adam crigler
Yes, I know what it is and that's why I feel really bad for the people.
tim pool
I'd jump in the river.
I'd be like, I'm gonna just jump over and like everything else be damned.
adam crigler
Yeah, how else can you get rid of it?
Like get it off you quickly.
tim pool
I'm really appreciating how we totally deviated off of like the world.
Who cares?
adam crigler
It was a great story.
lydia smith
Worth it.
adam crigler
I'm skeeved out, but it was worth it.
tim pool
I can't believe you missed that one.
That was huge.
lydia smith
Yeah, that was the Dave Matthews Band.
adam crigler
Well, I've been out.
I left Chicago when I was 19.
So I was like, I don't know.
Yeah, but it was still big news.
Yeah, but I don't really pay attention to much outside of my world.
tim pool
You know, I'm pretty much doing my thing.
Well, anyway, man, I'll tell you what.
You know, I think where we can tie this all in is... I've spent all of my life in big cities.
Except for like the brief stint we had a year in Miami. We were in the we were in the like the Redlands boonies
I mean the boonies man. Yeah, but relative to like some rural areas
I've spent time in not so much like yes, not big city. We are 40 miles outside of Miami, but it was still like
Relatively, I wouldn't call it a suburb I mean, yeah.
I guess technically it is.
It was... It's crazy.
adam crigler
I didn't think of it as a suburb, no.
tim pool
You know that, uh... What was that city that was just... Was it hometown or something?
Home something?
adam crigler
Redlands?
tim pool
No, no, no.
Just south of us.
adam crigler
I don't even remember the name of it.
I don't remember the name of it.
tim pool
But that's where one of the detention facilities was where, like, the kids in cages were supposedly being held.
Oh, really?
Like, literally a few miles away from where we lived.
adam crigler
Wow, right there.
tim pool
Yup.
What was that place called?
I don't know.
I'm sure people will know.
But here's the thing, man.
I've actually now gone to many more rural places.
Like, when I was driving, I drove all around the country several times, and I decided on one of my trips to actually just get off the interstate and take, like, U.S.
roads and, like, county roads.
Very different.
adam crigler
It's so different.
tim pool
It didn't smell like sour milk.
You know, it's surprising when you get out there and the cities in this country are filthy.
adam crigler
Yes, they are.
tim pool
Yeah, man.
adam crigler
And the people that live there are filthy.
tim pool
They are.
They're very filthy.
adam crigler
But it's pretty much America, though.
I mean, I've, well, I can't say for the rest of the world, but I've traveled around Europe a lot, and when I was living in the RV, and people throw away their trash.
There's no trash on the grounds.
I mean, I saw it.
It was there, but Not very often.
I mean, I looked for it.
I started, I was like, man, there's really nothing.
And then I started looking for it, and then I'd be like, whoa, there's a piece of trash.
Oh, nope.
That's not trash, that was something else.
tim pool
Wanna hear a funny Chicago story?
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
I was downtown, and they had this big bin.
It was like a rectangular-shaped garbage thing.
And on one side it said, it was like recycling, and the other side was garbage.
And then I looked in, and guess what it was?
adam crigler
What?
tim pool
It was a chute going into one garbage can.
unidentified
I'm like, there you go!
tim pool
It was just like, no matter what you put in, it was like, into the trash.
But it makes you feel better, right?
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
So yeah, Illinois is being locked down now.
I don't know what they expect to happen, but check this out.
Let's jump back into it.
Could Trump declare national coronavirus shutdown?
Momentum is rising.
And might I add, it's also, I mean, yeah, momentum is rising.
You're the ones who published this.
Shut us down already, Mr. President.
This is a scary article, dude.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
The dude basically says, bring in the martial law.
Here it is, look it.
I'm talking martial law.
Do it.
You said you're now a wartime president, so act like one.
Jeez.
All businesses should be closed, except the essential ones.
And that list should be carefully constructed.
No travel, no planes, no cars, no movement.
We stay in our homes and leave only to get food, go to the doctor, or walk our dogs.
adam crigler
Or walk our dogs.
tim pool
I love the dog walking part.
It's like, the world is ending!
Bring on martial law!
But we have to walk our dogs.
adam crigler
He clearly has a dog.
tim pool
He clearly has a dog.
adam crigler
Well, I mean, dude, going back to the cities... I mean, non-essential businesses should be closed down.
Do you hear about GameStop claiming they're essential?
tim pool
Dude, they don't even sell games anymore.
Like, they do, but they're trying to become a knick-knack store.
adam crigler
Yeah, they're the blockbuster of gaming.
I tweeted this last night.
I don't go buy games anywhere, I download my games.
tim pool
We go to the mall.
adam crigler
Yeah, I was playing, yeah, I was downloading Doom and it's been great.
tim pool
We go to the mall.
No discs.
We go to the mall, we walk into GameStop, look at the games that are listed and go,
ooh, I'm gonna go download that when I get home.
adam crigler
Right?
tim pool
But that's what they're trying to do now is they're trying to sell knickknacks.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Like if you want to get your little Link and Zelda dolls, you gotta go to GameStop.
adam crigler
Yeah, so they're Blockbuster meets Hot Topic.
tim pool
They're trying so they bought it.
adam crigler
I'm I think no one buys that stuff who buys those pop things anyway For a while, you know, are they still I mean, you know think geek like didn't isn't there is that sounds familiar?
tim pool
It's like a geek shop on the Internet or oh Yeah, isn't there isn't there a GameStop think geek store in Manhattan?
It's like on 6th Avenue or something.
adam crigler
I don't know.
tim pool
Oh Yeah, so that's what they were trying to do.
They were trying to be a place where you can go for your silly nerd stuff, like your t-shirt that says like, you know, it's got the green mushroom from Mario on it or something.
adam crigler
Every single console that has come out, you can download.
They have the store, you can get any game.
tim pool
Right.
adam crigler
I don't understand why we still make these plastic pieces or the discs that will just... No, no one needs.
tim pool
The PlayStation spits it out all the time.
adam crigler
Yeah, well, there was actually a reason for that.
tim pool
What was that?
adam crigler
The Destiny PlayStation that I had had a malfunctioning button.
tim pool
No, you're right, they all did.
adam crigler
That did that.
tim pool
They had this thing where, like, there was pressure on the bottom where the button was that would force it open.
It happened to me all the time.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Playing, like, Horizon Zero Dawn.
adam crigler
I actually opened that PlayStation up and disabled that, the button.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
So you can't hit it, but it fixed it.
tim pool
I was just like, I'm just gonna download it from now on.
adam crigler
I don't need it.
Games.
tim pool
Well, so anyway, the dude in this article basically says, scientists have determined with confidence, from the hundreds of thousands of cases reported so far, the recommended period for self-isolation should be 14 days.
And then he says, because we're Americans and we do more, make it 21.
I kind of feel like this guy's joking.
Like, are you serious?
Like, it's bad enough.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You know?
adam crigler
Right, exactly.
tim pool
But I'll tell you what, man.
What if we're always one step behind this thing?
And so, instead of making it better, we actively are making it worse, while the virus still just smashes its way through our society, through our country.
adam crigler
Natural selection.
Like, people have, like, the insensitive people are out there calling it.
unidentified
Dude!
adam crigler
Let it burn its course.
Let it kill people.
Let it blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
tim pool
Like, I saw a viral video of a bunch of, like, young people on the beach.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Doing shots of each other and stuff.
adam crigler
Yeah.
And I'm like, well... And that's... And people are wondering why the American numbers are spiking more than the Italy numbers.
tim pool
Well, do you know that the Spanish flu predominantly hit young people?
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Young people.
But it could be because there were a lot of young people in war, in close quarters.
But what I was reading from Stanford was that there was a previous flu in the late 1800s, so the older crowd had already some flu immunity.
The younger kids didn't have it.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
And so, when the new virus hit, it was much, much harder.
And some older people had partial immunity, based on, like, strains.
So young people got hit really hard.
But, here's the crazy thing.
The first wave, in the beginning of the year, hit the elderly, and young people were mostly okay.
The second wave, in August, hit the young people and was devastating.
So, they're predicting multiple waves on this one.
I'm willing to bet we're gonna see a bunch of young people in the hospital.
Because these kids are as dumb as a box of rocks.
adam crigler
Yeah, they really are.
tim pool
And it's not all young people.
It's just the young people that are dumb are going out and partying.
adam crigler
We'll call them the Skullcrackers.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the Skull Breaker Challenge.
There's data released by basically every news outlet and basically every, you know, organization tracking this shows.
The largest bracket of hospitalizations is 20 to 54.
That's wide, you know, and it could still be mostly 40 to 54.
But they separated it that way, and it's basically 29 of all hospitalizations, and then 55 and above comes up to like a smaller number.
Maybe I'm getting it wrong.
I think it's 20 to 44.
I'll probably get the numbers wrong.
I don't have the article pulled up, so sue me.
But they broke it up into several different brackets.
And I think I mentioned this the other day, what they're saying is young people are actually really likely to be hospitalized but respond really well to ventilation.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Older people don't.
adam crigler
So what does that mean?
So the old people aren't going and getting the respirators or whatever?
tim pool
They do.
So here's what I think would make sense in that regard is ventilation is going to save your life if you can't breathe.
Young people have strong bodies, and so when their lungs fill up with fluid, the ventilation works, their bodies heal, and it takes in the oxygen.
Older people struggle to heal, have weaker immune systems, their lungs fill up with water or fluid, they can't breathe, and the ventilation doesn't do enough to actually save them.
So, you'll see more, apparently that's what they're saying, more young people in the hospital, but they respond really, really well to the treatments.
Older people die.
So then, this is mind-numbing to me, is that... Actually, let me tell you a story, man.
Did you know that lethal crime is way, way down around the world?
adam crigler
No, I didn't know that.
tim pool
Yeah, so crimes that result in death have dropped dramatically.
adam crigler
Since when?
tim pool
In the past, I think like 12 or 13 years.
They've been on the decline.
adam crigler
Cool.
tim pool
And you know why?
adam crigler
That's great news.
tim pool
What would you think the reason is why that would be?
adam crigler
I would like to, I mean, I guess it was just because I want to say times are good and like people are prospering.
tim pool
That's what you'd think when you see the data where it's like the homicide rate is going down.
The reality is it's the invention of cell phones.
adam crigler
Oh.
tim pool
I see, yeah.
crimes are being committed. But now when someone gets stabbed, someone calls 911
right away and treatment arrives within minutes. Whereas before cell phones, they'd
run to find a phone and the person will bleed out on the sidewalk. So the people
are getting charged with attempted murder or aggravated assault or assault
a deadly weapon, not murder. I see. So now the rates for murder is going way down.
That makes sense.
It's not that humans are committing less crimes, it's that our technology improved.
adam crigler
So it's still there.
Still there.
We're just being able to save people.
tim pool
But crime is going down, typically, too.
So, you know, to be fair.
So, I bring that up because everyone's going right now like, young people aren't even dying!
Like, what do I care?
Then these kids go out and start doing shots of each other's butts.
Like, that's literally what the video is.
I'm not kidding.
adam crigler
It's like... Or licking the toilet seat on an airplane.
Yes.
Like, what?
Coronavirus challenge?
tim pool
There's like a human... Why?
adam crigler
Why are you doing this?
unidentified
Why?
adam crigler
Why?
Please continue.
tim pool
Oh my gosh.
Oh, that is just- That is bad.
That is bad.
They're doing like a human centipede beer pour.
Where they all like put their heads under each other's butts and pour beer and drink
adam crigler
it.
unidentified
Oh my gosh.
tim pool
Oh that's just.
Hey man you gotta party hard right?
That is bad.
So here's the thing though.
Because young people are responding well to the technology, the mortality rate for young
people is low.
And they're like so it's not even killing young people.
It's like, dude, do you want to end up in the hospital with a ventilator shoved down your throat to pump oxygen into your lungs because they're failing?
Whatever, man.
Reminds me of that kid who put the Tide Pod in his mouth.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Because they weren't really eating them.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But then his saliva broke it.
And then as soon as it broke, it burned him and he aspirated.
And then it went in his lungs.
And they started coughing and gagging.
And it was, dude, that must've been brutal.
Scar tissue all throughout his lungs.
That dude's going to be in an oxygen tank for the rest of his life.
Kids are dumb, dude.
I feel bad because they're just ignorant and arrogant.
adam crigler
And want attention.
Everybody wants attention.
tim pool
That's all it is, man.
So basically now we're looking at national lockdown, I guess?
I don't know what's going to happen.
We actually have another story I want to pull up on these kids doing all this stuff.
I don't know, man.
There was that viral text message.
Did you get one of those?
adam crigler
I don't think so.
tim pool
Where they were like, I heard this from my brother's uncle's aunt's cousin's wife's nephew that Trump is going to invoke the Stafford Act.
Okay, I'm really exaggerating.
Basically, all of these text messages, like chain messages, had a similar thing.
My uncle works for the government, and he said, just now leaving a meeting with the CDC, Trump is prepared to invoke the Stafford Act, which means that he's going to lock down everyone, get your supplies now, run!
And these texts went viral like crazy.
And they were always somehow different.
Like, someone sent out ten of them at once.
Slightly different.
I wonder why.
Maybe see which one would make it further.
There was one where I was like, my girlfriend sent me this.
I have a source working in the news who said this.
And it's all fake.
adam crigler
Which one worked the best to get in people's heads, basically.
tim pool
And everyone believed it.
And it's funny because I did a debunking of it and now we're actually talking about it.
adam crigler
When was this?
tim pool
Like, in the past week.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
I woke up in the morning, I had a text message from a journalist saying, like, keep us on the DL, and it was like a screen grab of a text saying, you know, That was just a couple days ago.
Was it?
lydia smith
Yeah.
This week has felt interminable.
Yeah, that was only a couple days ago.
unidentified
Interminable?
lydia smith
Yeah, dude.
It's almost over.
tim pool
Well, the coronavirus cases are going to explode, warns Obama's Ebola czar.
As figures show, the virus is already spreading faster in America than it ever did in China, and the U.S.
has the second most new cases per day in the world.
lydia smith
Yay.
tim pool
Bravo.
We do everything a little bit better than everyone else.
That includes getting infected with a novel coronavirus.
It's funny, man, because I hear so many people saying the same lines, like, the flu is worse.
I was on the phone with somebody talking about, you know, hey, do you think it's going to get bad?
I was basically talking to people about industry stuff.
Ad rates are down.
Ad buys are down.
And to make matters worse, it's really funny when people are like, Tim's trying to sensationalize to make money.
It's like, dude, do you realize when I talk about this, I get nothing?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I could make a video right now where I talk about, I don't know, the new Pokemon game.
You know, Pokemon Go!
I could literally film myself walking around in Pokemon Go, get like a thousand views, and make more money than if I talk about the coronavirus.
Anyway, I digress.
But tons of people have fragmented information.
And so they don't realize what's going on.
They're like, I don't know, man.
Like, I heard that, you know, this, that, and this.
The flu is worse.
We already got like 40,000 dead from the flu.
And I was like, since when?
What do you mean?
Like, since when?
Oh, I don't know.
You mean since October?
They're like, well I don't know all the details.
And we started seeing the uncontrollable growth around like the end of February.
We had the first case in January and then we didn't actually start seeing the community spread for like another full month and a half or something.
adam crigler
Right, yeah, March 3rd or something.
tim pool
Yeah.
So I don't know who Ron Klain is, but apparently he's saying, and this is actually wrong, I mean, so this is the relevant data that I wanted to show.
This chart right here shows the peak of China's coronavirus outbreak.
Assuming they're telling the truth, which I would never do.
adam crigler
You would never tell the truth?
tim pool
No.
adam crigler
I was thinking it too.
tim pool
Assuming China was telling the truth.
lydia smith
Oh, OK.
adam crigler
You would never assume they were telling the truth.
I would never assume that.
It just sounded like you were like, well, I don't tell the truth.
lydia smith
I would never tell the truth.
tim pool
No, I wouldn't assume China's telling the truth.
lydia smith
Freudian slip.
adam crigler
Our sarcasm minds were like, I must respond.
lydia smith
That's right.
tim pool
So now we've seen cases skyrocket.
Now here's the important factor, though.
We haven't been doing testing, so it's possible we're below China, because they're basically doing the same thing between us and Italy.
And this number here of new U.S.
cases could be the result of the fact that we haven't been testing all that well.
Or it could be the date on his face is true and the U.S.
is out of control.
And I think that's actually a fair assessment.
You know why?
adam crigler
Because they're shutting everything down.
tim pool
In China, they'll like club you over the head and drag you out of your house while you kick and scream.
In the U.S., they'll be like, please don't go outside.
adam crigler
Which is what they're doing right now.
tim pool
And then a bunch of these kids go outside and start laughing and, like, you know, doing shots off each other's butts.
Like, for real.
It's in Miami.
They're doing it.
adam crigler
Well, they're not gonna be laughing in, like, three weeks when they catch it.
tim pool
No, a bunch of them are gonna be fine.
adam crigler
Yeah, I'm sure.
tim pool
And they're gonna be like, nothing even happened.
adam crigler
I got the sniffles.
tim pool
And I'm fine.
lydia smith
And my grandma died.
I don't know.
It's so weird.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Yeah.
And my grandma died.
adam crigler
Or that number that it's affecting men twice as much.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
I read that this morning.
Twice as deadly to guys than it is to girls.
unidentified
Yup.
adam crigler
Like, wow.
tim pool
And we just had that feminist rant the other day.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
About how they say that coronavirus is ruining feminists.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Feminism.
tim pool
And she's like, now I know that the reports say that it's worse for men.
But we're talking about an economic problem.
It's like, if I die or I'm in the hospital in the ventilator, like you're not a victim, dude.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Get off your high horse.
tim pool
Check this out, though.
L.A.
County gives up on containing coronavirus.
This is from the L.A.
Times.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Tells doctors to skip testing of some patients.
Well, it was a good run.
adam crigler
They give up.
tim pool
I hope you guys enjoyed it.
It's been a slice.
Outside.
It's been a slice.
A little slice of heaven.
We're gonna lock the doors, and we're gonna go full Mad Max.
We're gonna take the van.
I ordered a cow catcher, I think it's called?
adam crigler
A cow catcher?
tim pool
Is that what it's called?
adam crigler
For the front?
tim pool
For the front of the van.
lydia smith
That's what came in the mail.
unidentified
Perfect.
tim pool
Yes.
Gigantic, wrought iron.
lydia smith
It weighs like 800 pounds.
tim pool
Yes.
lydia smith
It'll be good.
tim pool
And it drags on the ground, sparks flying out.
unidentified
Yes!
tim pool
We have to put the armor panels on tomorrow.
lydia smith
Oh, those have to go back on?
Oh my gosh, that'd be a pain.
tim pool
Yeah, they have to go back on.
lydia smith
Alright, it's worth it.
adam crigler
I don't think it's really that bad, but I think... I'll be skating the ramp out back.
tim pool
Well, so we're lucky, dude.
We're lucky, man.
We're lucky.
adam crigler
Yeah, I know.
tim pool
Even if all we had was a backyard.
adam crigler
I'm so grateful for that ramp, dude.
I love that thing.
tim pool
I've seen some videos from people in, like, New York.
Man, those tiny apartments.
adam crigler
I can't imagine.
Yo, man, I can't believe... I could not imagine being stuck in New York.
Yeah.
Couldn't do it.
tim pool
It'd be worse than prison.
adam crigler
Because, like, if you... I'd be playing video games.
tim pool
Oh, yeah.
adam crigler
But I'd run out of food, probably.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
That's no bueno.
tim pool
And now they're like, don't go outside unless you need food.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But I guess here's the thing, right?
If you go outside, what's a cop gonna do?
Like, where are you going?
I'm getting food.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Alright, later buddy.
adam crigler
Yeah.
I have no food.
Okay.
tim pool
Yeah.
I'm going to eat.
adam crigler
Well, wash your hands.
tim pool
I'm walking the dog.
unidentified
Sunny boy.
tim pool
Sunny boy.
I mean, honestly, I think you brought this up.
Like if you went out and a cop was like, what are you doing?
And you were like, ah-choo!
Nothing here officer like No, no, no, oh you're good. You're good move along reminds
me of long Remember, um, was it Tommy boy where they're driving and
they're drunk and then the cops. Oh, yeah, and they're like, all right. I got this
unidentified
Yeah And the cops like I'm a really allergic to bees me too, let's
adam crigler
go They don't have masks, they don't have gloves.
tim pool
So I was talking to my buddy and he told me that he's not concerned because the police won't go near anybody.
They're scared to get sick.
They don't have masks, they don't have gloves.
lydia smith
Something like 35 cops in New York City got it right.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Oh really?
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Go home!
He's like you think a cop's gonna want to come up to you.
No and be like come here, buddy We're taking in no be like he's gonna. He's gonna crack the
window a little bit goes go home Yeah, you're gonna be like what oh, he's not gonna crack
adam crigler
the window. He's gonna get on the PA system. Yeah Yeah, he's gonna tap on the glass and hold up a piece of
tim pool
paper it says go home And then you're gonna sign language him you know I'm hungry.
adam crigler
I'm sorry man. Yeah, I am I need food I don't know sign language, but
I have a phone that I can just be like I'm hungry Probably do that just now's the time to get a dog because
tim pool
it's like a free. It's like a hall pass I'm walking my dog, sir.
unidentified
Sir.
Sir.
tim pool
I'm walking my dog.
adam crigler
Sir.
I'm walking my dog to get some food.
unidentified
Cuomo.
tim pool
You know what's really funny?
adam crigler
Double whammy.
tim pool
You know what's really funny?
Bill de Blasio said, so he's the mayor of New York City, he said they're contemplating a full shutdown order.
And Andrew Cuomo was like, get real, Bill, in like a quote.
lydia smith
You were like arguing.
tim pool
And saying, we're not going to do that, that's not happening, we're not locking down.
And a day later he was like, we're locking down.
lydia smith
Yeah, we're going to lock down.
tim pool
It's my decision, put the blame on me.
adam crigler
That was actually shocking to hear him say that.
tim pool
Well, he had to, man.
He just said the other day, like, it wasn't gonna happen, and then someone gave him a dose of reality, like, time to shut the doors.
I'll tell you this.
We got a bunch of other silly stories, but I want to mention, man, you know what scares me?
That... It was what we were mentioning a little earlier.
People are begging for the authoritarianism.
And what happens when this is all over, but people now live a life where they're under hard lockdown and are okay with it?
adam crigler
I don't know if they're okay with it.
I think it's more the fear of this virus.
tim pool
And if the fear remains?
adam crigler
How are they going to keep the fear around?
tim pool
They already told us it could last two years.
MIT put out a story saying it's going to be waves of sickness.
adam crigler
But doesn't the virus die in the open air when it's too hot?
When it's 80, 90 degrees?
You don't know yet?
tim pool
I thought they were saying that.
People start becoming like hypochondriacs, scared of the virus and start, you know, I'm sure tons of people are doing it right now.
Rushing to the hospital saying, I'm sick, and then spreading more fear, like panicking that they're sick.
There's the conspiracy theory that I don't subscribe to at all, I'd say.
But there are people who are saying that it's all overblown, it's all hype.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
The reason we're seeing all the hospitalizations is because people are panicking.
adam crigler
I keep saying that.
It's still going on.
Right.
tim pool
That it's just people now saying, like, I think I'm sick.
Oh man, I'm sick.
Oh, I better call the hospital.
And then the hospital says, we've got somebody who we think has it, and then they report it in the news, and it perpetuates this fear cycle.
I don't, the reason I don't buy into that is because you'd have to have all of the other countries on the planet, you know, like, there's not one agency in control of anything.
Like, people are testing for this and they're finding it, right?
lydia smith
Remember, this is popping up at nursing homes.
And people in nursing homes literally cannot run to the hospital.
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
They just have to wait.
tim pool
Well, so, the reason I bring this up is that there is a, one of the fears that I have would be politicians, six months goes by, and they're looking over their reports and they're like, sir, No new cases.
We believe it's gone.
Whoa, hold on, hold on.
We shouldn't say that, right?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Remember that Orville episode we were just watching?
adam crigler
Which one?
tim pool
The one where Kelly's the, like, Jesus?
adam crigler
Oh yeah.
tim pool
So there's, in the show The Orville, there's, they go to this planet that fades out of existence when it comes back at 700 years in the future for that planet.
Right.
adam crigler
And so Kelly, the woman, is seen, and then when the planet phases back, they're worshiping Yeah, well, she heals some girl, like, falls and hits her head, and she uses, like, the laser thing to fix this child's head.
So it's like Star Trek for those who don't know.
Yeah, 700 years go by, and then they go back in, and it's like they're worshipping her.
She's, like, the god.
tim pool
Yeah.
And so what happens is, they go and meet the Pope, basically, in this medieval world, and she explains that it's simply a tool, shows him how to use it, and he's like, wow, we believed everything so wrong.
And then when they leave, he walks up to, like, the Bible.
And he's like, the people must be told the truth.
But then this Cardinal guy is like, are you sure?
That's wise.
adam crigler
We'll lose our power.
tim pool
They fear us.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
As long as they fear Kelly.
And he goes, I guess we'll see.
So the guy goes, OK.
And he pulls out a knife and stabs in the back.
adam crigler
Yeah.
That was a good episode.
tim pool
It was.
But I'm worried you're going to have people who are going to be like, there's going to be one dude.
I'm not saying there will be.
I wouldn't be surprised.
And this is what I'm scared of.
There could be one guy who's sitting there thinking, like, we're getting all the funding we want.
We're getting to implement whatever policies we want.
No one is standing in our way.
And he looks at that report where it says, like, we've done it.
We've beat the virus.
And then he crumples it up.
adam crigler
Crumbles it up.
tim pool
Throws it in the trash.
And says, what's the next plan to fight the virus?
We need to enact these policies.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
That's what's worrying.
adam crigler
Yeah, that is a frightening thought.
tim pool
Yep.
Well, here's what we should do.
We should rag on kids again.
unidentified
Yes, we should.
tim pool
It's always fun to rag on those young kids!
But before we do, we should jump over to the Super Chats.
lydia smith
Super Chats!
tim pool
What up, Super Chats?
adam crigler
Oh, hi.
lydia smith
Hello, Super Chats.
tim pool
Alright, Dark Truth says, so do you think we'll be back to a degree of normalcy by January?
Will schools still be out by then?
Well, they're saying the school year right now.
They're saying, right, they're shutting down the schools for the school year.
So does that mean until August?
Or does that mean until December?
lydia smith
That means till August.
tim pool
That's what I figured.
lydia smith
So far, yeah.
tim pool
Yeah.
Salem Blue says, World Health Organization, global pandemic, feminists, abortions.

Yikes, man.
Kyle Buchanan says, Hey Tim, Verdict with Ted Cruz episode 18 just got taken down by Google while I was watching it.
unidentified
Whoa.
lydia smith
That's crazy.
That was a really popular podcast.
tim pool
What was it about?
lydia smith
Uh, they just brought, uh, they brought, Michael Knowles went on and talked to Ted Cruz and they just talk about like events, kind of like we do, a little more official, but yeah.
Yeah.
I never got a chance to see it, but hopefully they bring it back.
tim pool
All right, so we got a ton of super chats here.
Grace Fang says, Italy's death toll surpassed China's public fake numbers.
CNBC.
I love that editorialization and I completely agree with it.
If you believe China, man, I got a bridge to sell you.
It is the Brooklyn Bridge and I have the deed in my office.
I think that's actually where that came from.
It was a guy who was going around selling the Brooklyn Bridge.
unidentified
Really?
tim pool
Yeah, I think that was it.
lydia smith
Oceanfront property in Arizona?
unidentified
That one?
tim pool
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ward says, good evening.
Hope you're well.
Appreciate it.
Freedom says, my phone has been hacked.
I'm sorry to hear it.
Ethan Johansson says, FYI, happy cows make the most money.
Don't listen to PETA BS.
I mean, how could we beat up calves?
They're too cute.
I heard it's true that actually happy cows, like cows that are literally happy, do better, like produce better.
They do.
Did I talk about the story about when I went to the farm in California?
lydia smith
You told me about it.
I don't know if you told Adam about it.
adam crigler
Yeah, I don't know.
tim pool
So, when I went, I was doing this story on the drought in California, and I went to a bunch of different farms, a bunch of dairy farms.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And I'd heard all these stories about how it was, like, torturous.
No, not these ones, man.
So I go to, we go and interview this guy.
adam crigler
Was it a smaller, smaller farm, or what?
tim pool
I guess the farm's smaller.
adam crigler
How many, how many cows were there?
tim pool
Several hundred?
adam crigler
Over a hundred?
tim pool
Oh, totally over a hundred.
Yeah, maybe like four or five hundred.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
That's pretty big.
There were, like, fences, and there was no gate to the fence.
It was open.
And there were, like, cows across the street, wandering around.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And so I was talking to one of the farmers, and I was like, we were doing an interview, like, how has the drought affected you?
You know, is it worrying?
And what's your thought on the policy?
And then afterwards, I was like, hey, I got a question.
It's, like, irrelevant, but I'm just curious, because, like, are those your cows?
He's like, yeah.
And I was like, they're just, like, leaving.
He's like, no, come back.
And I was like, there's no, there's no gate.
And he's like, you forgot the gate.
I was like, aren't you, aren't you worried that they leave?
He's like, where would they go?
And I was like, oh, well, I don't know.
I was like, I'm just used to like animals leaving.
And he's like, no, they come back.
And I was like, really?
They don't want to leave?
He's like, well, they want to leave.
We got food.
And I was like, Well, that's one way I've seen it.
I never thought about it.
adam crigler
Yeah, when I was driving back here, I passed a few farms that were hundreds of thousands of cows.
tim pool
Was that Texas?
adam crigler
It was in New Mexico.
tim pool
There's some gross ones down there.
Is it 88, I think?
adam crigler
I think it was 40 or 30 or 10.
I don't exactly remember where it was, but yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, it's gross.
adam crigler
Man, it was nasty.
tim pool
But so, so here's the thing.
These farms in California, the cows would go into a machine when they wanted to be milked.
And the machine would milk them and they would come back out and go and romp around and stuff.
lydia smith
They get really uncomfortable if they can't get milked.
tim pool
But it was just, it was crazy to me to see like the cows just, the guy didn't care.
He's like, man.
He's like, I don't got, there's nothing to worry about.
Oh, it was a side story.
Totally irrelevant.
It was a major dust devil.
It was so cool.
Like it was huge.
I was like, whoa, no one cared.
adam crigler
I have a lot of issues with all of this, and it's a long conversation I don't really want to have.
tim pool
Well, let's get back to Super Chats.
adam crigler
Yeah.
lydia smith
Excellent plan.
tim pool
Happy cows.
11BravoNRD says, my army reserve unit just got put on standby for deployment to see CONUS.
Not a matter of if, but when.
Invisible lady.
Google C2CRE in vibrant response.
lydia smith
C2CRE.
tim pool
What is CONUS?
adam crigler
I have no idea.
tim pool
Me neither.
Atlas Report says, Quarantine me, daddy.
We lack discipline.
Mr. Smaberg says, You really should get into contact with Serpensaw.
They have an insane amount of info on China and the Wuhan virus.
Oh, yeah.
We'll do our best.
I'm just, you know, overwhelmingly, overly swamped, typically, but Serpents is cool.
Justin says, Happy Apocalypse Day, Tim.
Keep it up.
Love your content.
Appreciate it.
Ed Crone says, Southside.
Born and raised, Tim.
Saint Rita alum.
Where'd you go?
I now live for these streams every day after work while I play GTA V in quarantine.
We're reaping the benefit of the quarantine market.
lydia smith
I'm loving all these super bored people.
tim pool
Yeah, I was talking to some industry people and they were like, we're projecting your numbers will go up dramatically amidst the quarantine where people are bored and have nothing to do.
I'm like, oh, okay, that sounds horrible.
But you know, whatever.
So I grew up on the South Side.
adam crigler
I went to... CONUS is the continental United States.
Thank you, chat.
Oh, okay.
tim pool
I didn't go to high school.
And I went to grade school at Our Lady of the Snows by Midway Airport and Mark Twain Elementary.
And then I spent like two months at Kennedy High School and then left in a fit of rage.
Rage!
lydia smith
I can see it.
I can see Tim levitating.
tim pool
Jesus, uh, Jesus!
I almost said Jesus.
Jesus!
I just said it.
Thanks for coming to Member.
Renegade says, I'm delivering DoorDash in my area now.
I feel like Norman Reedus in Death Stranding.
Yeah.
AB says, I've been watching your coverage since the outset, so I thought was behind the curve by only stocking up three weeks ago.
Turns out I was miles ahead.
lydia smith
Yeah, you were.
unidentified
Yup.
tim pool
Yep.
And it's funny how things are escalating to the point where people are saying, like, you know, The Hill is saying, please shut down, bring out the goons and the martial law and all that stuff.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
And it's like, when I was telling people, like, hey, go buy this stuff, there are so many people on Twitter being like, what an idiot, oh god, I can't believe he's doing this.
Because they didn't know!
So I almost don't blame them.
It's like, if you know a disaster is coming, and then you're telling people, like, hey, if you trust me, check this out, but the other people don't know what you know, they assume you're dumb.
That's like such a common problem in politics.
lydia smith
But if you don't know, why are you so confident?
You should be able to admit, I'm uncertain.
tim pool
What's that saying?
That smart people are so full of doubt, while the ignorant are so confident, or whatever?
Yeah, that's true.
Raymond says, I work at Hebb, a Texas-based grocery chain.
We're all working like crazy, but the company raised the wage by $2 for every employee during the crisis.
I hope other grocery store workers can get that, too.
unidentified
Wow, that's awesome.
tim pool
It's awesome for now, until the, you know, trillion-plus dollars hits the economy and hyperinflation sets in.
I shouldn't say hyperinflation, that's a bit It'll be inflation for sure.
But it will be.
And then everyone's gonna be like, my money doesn't go as far anymore.
lydia smith
Yeah, no, what do I do?
tim pool
We're borrowing from ourselves in the future.
That's what it is.
But you know what?
We gotta do what we gotta do.
Just us.
Thanks for the super chat.
I've had a few friends saying that I'm being paranoid, but my daughter has RSV as an infant, and my mother-in-law has respiratory issues, so I'm not taking chances.
Don't be shamed into not taking care of yourself or your family.
That's exactly right.
That's what I've been saying, man.
If there's somebody who's gonna full-on prep and build a bunker and stock it up with 30 years of food or whatever they want to do, I wouldn't do that.
But I'll tell you what, when that meteor comes, when the crisis happens, they're gonna be laughing.
And if nothing happens, no one's gonna care.
lydia smith
No one cares.
tim pool
They might be like, you built a bunker?
And it's like, it's really cool.
I play video games down there.
It's like my private little hangout.
Oh, dude, I want to hang out.
Like, who wouldn't love to have a man cave?
Just build it underground.
adam crigler
True that.
tim pool
That's why I think it's silly that people are laughing at, like, people who... There's this really cool thing they do with, like, cargo containers, and they'll, like, bury them partially.
Yeah, yeah.
adam crigler
No, fully.
tim pool
Fully?
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
tim pool
Yeah, and then you can go into them.
That sounds cool, man.
lydia smith
That sounds amazing.
tim pool
Dude, I'd love to have a little...
We can't do that.
adam crigler
You think I've been chopping wood back there?
No, I've been digging a hole.
Slowly but surely, I'm gonna have a man cave.
tim pool
That'd be cool, man.
adam crigler
Under the skate ramp.
tim pool
And then you just, you know, stock up on some MREs.
MREs don't last long enough, though.
I like them, though.
They taste good in the short term.
adam crigler
I've never actually had one.
tim pool
You've never had an MRE?
unidentified
It's cool.
tim pool
They have a packet of iron.
adam crigler
Okay.
Really?
Just straight iron?
tim pool
I'm pretty sure it's iron.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And when you pour water in it, it rapidly oxidizes and heats up.
unidentified
Oh, cool.
tim pool
And you, like, put it in your food thing.
That's how emerys work.
I didn't know.
Like, we've got some here.
They're upstairs.
And then you pour water in it, and it smells, I think, um... Iron oxide comes out.
It's a gas.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
But then it heats up rapidly, and it warms the food, and then you pull it out, throw it, and then you got a pouch full of, you know, like, whatever.
adam crigler
Interesting.
tim pool
Beans and rice or something.
unidentified
Cool.
tim pool
Yeah, it's cool.
unidentified
Cool.
tim pool
Thanks for coming.
Member, Focusmeister, All Metal Mike says, Kim, thanks for teaching us about the term echo bubble.
Prior to hearing it from you, I'd already begun seeking 360 degrees of info just to avoid such a phenomenon.
Yes.
Alex, thanks for becoming a member.
Justin Schroeder says, sent Adam a company for beanies on IG.
US NOX emissions are down 50.7% as of three-fifths compared to 2016, and I don't have an inner monologue.
adam crigler
I actually checked that site out.
Thanks for sending that to me.
But unfortunately, all of the beanies were acrylic.
They were not.
We're looking for quality.
Not acrylic.
Yeah, not.
I mean, it was it was just like a wholesale place.
Right.
Some of them were cool, but it just wasn't what we're looking for.
Yeah.
But I do appreciate that.
Thanks.
I did check it out.
tim pool
Oh hey, just us sent the poop emoji.
unidentified
Appreciate it.
lydia smith
Oh, how nice!
unidentified
Sweet.
adam crigler
That's cute.
tim pool
All right, we're starting to get slammed by superchats.
I'm gonna have to speed this up.
We can go for a little bit longer.
We're good.
Eric says...
COVID-19 growth curve recent spike due to running backlog of untested samples per CDC lady and White House presser two days ago.
She said six days of tests in one day.
So that makes sense.
So we may actually be, we have good news too.
Apparently, Trump was right about chloroquine.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Well, yeah, but a bunch of other countries have been saying the same thing about chloroquine combinations with other drugs.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
So, you know, Trump came out and said it, and I think he said we were gonna make it available, but it's not yet ready, so people criticize him.
It's like, whatever, the media does this.
But yeah, we actually have a story saying that they've cut the amount of patients who had COVID, like, dramatically by giving them a combination of these drugs, these malaria drugs.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
King Canuck says, I'm a bit late because I was finishing Doom Eternal.
Adam, you've got to finish it so you can geek about it.
Love you guys.
Have a great stream.
Appreciate it, man.
adam crigler
It's really fun.
It's fast.
It's very fast and vicious.
And it's tough.
It's pretty tough.
I like games like that that aren't easy to just plow through.
But it's good.
I really, really am enjoying it.
Doom Eternal.
tim pool
Revia says apparently Japan had its first case of reinfection reported.
Didn't we see that before though?
adam crigler
Yeah, I thought they had at least one.
That was the first place that we heard of it, didn't we?
tim pool
Just Us says wanted vegan prepper food tips.
The great Dub Dub.
Hey from Missouri.
I live near KC and we are about ready to start closing things down.
Thanks for the heads up to PrEP.
Plenty of games to play.
adam crigler
About that vegan food PrEP.
I thought you would let me say something there.
unidentified
Oh man, you know?
adam crigler
Jump on in.
Anyway, that site that you were working with, what was that?
tim pool
MyPatriotSupply.
adam crigler
Yeah, they actually have a lot of vegan options.
Really?
Yeah, when they got here, I was looking at it, and I'm like, well, this is basically the meals,
half of them were vegan, half of them weren't.
lydia smith
Oh, that's great.
tim pool
Right, so.
But they had like oatmeal stuff.
adam crigler
Yeah, there was a lot of just not, Rice, oatmeal.
Yeah, vegetables, vegetable dishes that just didn't have any milk.
And that's actually the rarity, but probably will last longer without milk in it anyway.
So there you go.
Yeah.
So check that out.
check out that site. Although there's a big wait now.
Yeah, so it is out there though. You can get them though.
tim pool
This is not a promo for the company.
adam crigler
No.
tim pool
But I don't say that because YouTube will like, they'll give you all this kind of, you know, crap for the stuff.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
But for reference, because people are curious, it's safeandreadymeals.com.
I was doing a bunch of promos for them.
Now they've actually backlogged to an absurd degree, so it's like a pre-order at this point.
Because they don't know when they're going to get back up to full production.
But they are still sending stuff out.
But yeah, they have...
I think it's a cool company.
They got a bunch of...
adam crigler
It's cheap too.
tim pool
Yep.
Nayslayer says, the lockdown came to New Orleans today.
Basically, don't go out unless you need groceries, healthcare, or work in an essential industry.
Meanwhile, my local gov is saying, stay home if you feel sick.
You probably, you should either way, I mean.
Chet Chisolm says, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, does Lydia now have to come on camera to intervene with the ghost Tim just unleashed on the studio?
lydia smith
How dare you, Timothy, you shouldn't have said that.
tim pool
Lydia.
Soluk Gree says, Bill Maher should be happy now.
Yeah!
Only this is going to bolster Trump's chances of winning.
Yeah, man.
adam crigler
Yeah, true.
tim pool
So, you probably don't know Will, but you know Will Chamberlain.
Some of the viewers might not.
He's a cool dude.
He's a friend of mine, and he's like a big conservative personality.
He runs Human Events.
And he had a really interesting tweet I saw.
He said, remember that FDR won, you know, how many terms did he win?
Four terms?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
And that was through the Great Depression.
lydia smith
Yeah, that was when it was most chaotic.
tim pool
That's how he did it.
And so, the prediction is, no one is going to want to risk a hard change right now.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
So, yeah, Bill, I don't know if you, you know Bill Maher called for a recession?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
He was like, bring on the recession if it gets rid of Trump, and he got really, he got heavily criticized for it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I think it was a really stupid thing to say, but hey man, he stood by it, and I respect that.
lydia smith
Gotta be careful what you wish for.
adam crigler
Look at the market.
tim pool
Yup.
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
tim pool
So, that's why he's saying, he should be happy now.

Chet Chisholm says, you guys should try the sweet potato al pastor tacos from the Thug Kitchen cookbook on your next taco night.
adam crigler
That sounds awesome.
tim pool
I'm down.
Yeah.
adam crigler
Sounds really good.
tim pool
We've been having chickpea tacos.
lydia smith
Yeah, dude.
tim pool
Periodically.
Really good.
And stuffed peppers.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Amazing.
adam crigler
With chow cheese.
tim pool
So it's like chickpeas mashed, chow cheese, inside a pepper, baked, and it's like you pick it up and just bite it.
Oh man, I love it.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's delicious.
tim pool
We're on quarantine lockdown, so we got all the time in the world to try crazy experimental food.
lydia smith
Slow cooker and all.
tim pool
Slow cooker, yeah.
Taking, like, the craziest thing we did, what I saw so far was, like, full chicken breasts, and then we put in, like, a sweet, tangy Asian sauce, and then, like, three hours later, it was, like, just liquefied.
The chicken melted.
lydia smith
It's so good.
tim pool
Amazing.
I'm gonna put it on tacos.
Taco night!
lydia smith
Tacos!
tim pool
Boris says, there's a microbiology study that predicted COVID in 07.
Interesting.
William Strong says, didn't they say that since we're now getting large-scale labs involved in testing, we're going to see a big jump in cases until the backlog of test kits have lab results?
Maybe I missed something.
No, that's true.
Now that we're doing a lot more testing, the numbers are going to start spiking.
So what we're actually seeing is a better picture of how many people are actually infected.
Right.
So that's why we were saying, like, maybe we should have been a little bit more clear.
Why?
What?
That's good.
That's why I was saying that we should clarify that we're looking at all these graphs and there's a lot of context missing from the data about numbers, population, and stuff, so.
TheGreatDubDude, thanks for becoming a member.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
Two Rivers says, one half, be careful reporting on the curve of infections.
I work in a lab and the three labs where we send COVID specimens have a 30k specimen backlog.
lydia smith
Oh man.
tim pool
Company-wide, we just started using the methodology PUSHED.
adam crigler
30k.
tim pool
PUSHED through the FDA by Trump last week.
adam crigler
Yeah, I heard the problem isn't actually even just having the test.
It's the chemicals that they use with the test to complete the test.
Like once you get tested, whatever, they send it off to the lab and that lab needs specific chemicals.
lydia smith
That makes sense.
adam crigler
And the entire world needs these chemicals right now.
So the few places around the world that are making the chemicals are out of chemicals.
tim pool
So you're bullish on chemical company stocks.
lydia smith
Yes.
adam crigler
I mean, yes?
unidentified
I guess?
lydia smith
That's terrible, but yes.
Yes, she did.
tim pool
She was like, there's going to be a big spike.
It's because we're testing more people.
Do not panic.
backlog will be getting published in one or two days. Dr.
Burke talked about this in one of the conferences recently. She did. She was like
lydia smith
there's gonna be a big spike it's because we're testing more people. Do not panic.
tim pool
Yeah. So hopefully that's all that is. Or it's a government conspiracy and the
lydia smith
world is Probably that's it.
tim pool
And the aliens are coming and buy your gold.
lydia smith
Can't wait for April.
tim pool
I'm kidding.
Someone's going to take that out of the contest.
adam crigler
I saw a funny message today saying 2020 is canceled.
We are just going to be going right to 2021 on Monday.
lydia smith
That's a great plan.
tim pool
Go to sleep.
It'll all be over.
unidentified
Sure.
tim pool
Scott Lovenberg says, hey Manhattan is immaculate compared to the center of city Philly.
Have you ever gotten lost near the airport?
It's like fracking Beirut.
I don't actually go into Philly all that often.
adam crigler
I mean I've walked around in Philly a little bit and I've spent, I actually went to high
school here and so I lived here for you know like four years before and New York is still
tim pool
Yeah, dude.
adam crigler
New York is dirty, yo.
tim pool
Dude, you can smell that milk.
adam crigler
Yeah, you can smell it, dude.
tim pool
It smells like sour milk.
adam crigler
I know.
tim pool
Teresa says...
Theresa says, stay strong, America.
If we all work together and listen to directions, we can beat this.
So spring breakers, go home.
Pensacola beaches are now closed, and we are closed for business.
lydia smith
Good.
adam crigler
Go home.
tim pool
I'm going to start speeding up now through the super chat, so apologies to everybody.
I can't get everyone in, so I'm just going to try and read as many as I can.
BV says, I've been tracking the John Hopkins data and plotted a visualization of the daily number of new cases, comparing a few countries.
And then BV links his Twitter, which I can't say, but, you know, it's there.
Super chat.
Nunyabiz says, here's the decision being asked of society.
Choose between your kids and your parents, and somehow we have chosen to stop everything and harm our children to protect our parents from the chance of a bad outcome.
This is wrong.
adam crigler
You know, I was thinking about that.
If it is all of the older generation that's really in, you know, they're susceptible to this virus, it would make sense that the government wants everything shut down because they are... They're old people!
They're the old people.
tim pool
And so it's all the old people going like, stop!
Close it down!
We need to close it down.
And the young people are out partying, like, they're calling it Boomer Remover.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I don't care.
adam crigler
We talked about that.
lydia smith
I don't even know what generation they're talking about, for Pete's sake.
adam crigler
They're clueless.
And if that's where the world, like, whose hand the world gets left in, it's like, oh no.
I'm very excited.
Oh man.
tim pool
Nah, they're gonna get hit in August.
adam crigler
If that happens, though, would you then run for president?
lydia smith
They don't have the common sense to vote for him, Adam.
tim pool
The thing is, a real person could never win.
You know why?
Because they would just say real things.
Even Bernie Sanders lies.
lydia smith
Even Bernie Sanders lies.
tim pool
Well, I'm saying that because people like Joe Rogan are like, this guy's been so consistent.
And it's like, I hear you, Joe.
I used to feel the same way.
And then as the years went on, Bernie started trying to figure out what's the right way to win.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So, my favorite thing about Bernie is that he no longer says the millionaires anymore.
He even removed it from, like, his website.
Now it just says the billionaires, and, like, it's like, we're not gonna let the billionaires, like, there's, what, 600 people, dude?
And not all of them are particularly active.
adam crigler
Or American.
tim pool
No, no, there's, like, 600 Americans.
adam crigler
Oh, they're all Americans.
Oh, okay.
lydia smith
I only know of one consistent politician, and he did not have the charisma to get the nomination.
tim pool
Rand Paul.
lydia smith
Yep.
tim pool
He's the child of Dr. No.
lydia smith
100% consistent.
tim pool
I like Rand Paul.
I think he's a really good dude.
He's consistent.
Straight up.
I used to really like Bernie, but yeah, he started flipping.
lydia smith
Not consistent, yeah.
tim pool
So anyway, I don't know how we got onto that.
They're all liars.
adam crigler
Old people.
I brought that out.
tim pool
June F says, Great news!
Shoot shooting have ceased altogether.
Alright.
Swampy says, in The Purge, there is a scene where it shows Purge feed, and it shows Ohio, and the date is 3-21-20.
That's tomorrow.
Creepy.
unidentified
Ha ha ha.
tim pool
Love the show, Tim and crew.
You guys rock.
Stay safe, fellow Americans.
adam crigler
Appreciate it.
That is crazy, because you were saying yesterday that The Purge is real and it's happening, and it turns out it starts tomorrow.
tim pool
Hold on, man.
lydia smith
Just a little bit ahead.
tim pool
Wouldn't it be exciting if at the next press conference, like, Trump got up and said, For the next 24 hours, all crime will be made legal.
That'd be epic.
I'd be like, wow.
I'd freak out.
We'd all freak out.
It's funny because you get all these young people who are like, wouldn't it be cool, like a zombie apocalypse?
lydia smith
Nope.
tim pool
It's like, dude.
adam crigler
No, none of these things would be okay.
tim pool
But you know people who are like, you talk about how cool it would be.
lydia smith
They talk a big game.
tim pool
They talk a big game, how exciting it would be to be in a zombie apocalypse.
It's like, bro, have you ever gone to like a bad neighborhood?
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Go to a bad neighborhood and then talk.
Like, I've driven, I've lived in bad neighborhoods.
And I've gone to actual conflict zones.
And it's like, you ever see a rabbit outside?
And it's like, its eyes are huge and it's just shaking wherever it's standing?
Its entire existence is stress.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Like, everything wants to eat you and you have to hide.
That's what it would be like.
adam crigler
Yeah, basically.
tim pool
Your hair would fall out.
Your skin would go pale.
You'd have rings under your eyes and you'd be like, you'd be shaking violently.
adam crigler
Yeah, all I can think of when I see all these kids running around doing stupid stuff is like, you have no idea how lucky we are as humans right now.
lydia smith
This is the best it's ever been.
tim pool
They have no idea.
adam crigler
They have no clue.
tim pool
There's a saying.
Hard times make strong men.
Strong men make good times.
Good times make weak men.
And weak men make hard times.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
And it's not a true statement, but there are some historical analogues, but it's basically just an opinion.
adam crigler
And the wheel of time continues.
tim pool
Yep.
lydia smith
I think it's accurate.
I guess we'll see.
tim pool
To an extent, it is.
It's basically talking about how generations, it's not so much about men, it's about generations failing and getting, you know... People get fat and content.
lydia smith
This happened in Rome, it happened anywhere people have been really successful.
adam crigler
Yeah, it feels like that's what's happening.
tim pool
And they get weak.
lydia smith
We get over 200 years and that's it.
tim pool
And then a collapse happens.
adam crigler
All this medicine that's keeping us alive for so much longer.
When something like coronavirus comes and hits us all, we're not prepared for it.
We don't have the medicine for it.
tim pool
I can't believe it, man.
adam crigler
People are dying.
tim pool
We've been slowly walking into this.
You know, there's no... We're a chicken with its head cut off.
We've been giving away our manufacturing to China because there's been no one to say, stop doing this.
adam crigler
Yeah.
And it's... And no reason to say.
tim pool
Yeah, it was great.
adam crigler
No one's... Everyone's like, yeah, life's good.
tim pool
Like, whatever.
You see what the Chinese, like some Chinese economic minister, like, came out and gave a speech saying, it would be wrong for America to manufacture its own products.
They said, natural market forces and good business decisions have built these relationships over a long period of time, and to abandon them now would be foolish.
adam crigler
When did this come out?
tim pool
Like today.
adam crigler
Are you serious?
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Oh my god.
tim pool
And I'm like, wait a minute, hold on.
You guys were just saying you were going to take our medicine away.
adam crigler
Yeah, you just said.
tim pool
And you would drown us in the mighty sea of coronavirus.
adam crigler
Two days ago that you were going to stop giving us medicine, and now they're like, actually, maybe you shouldn't make your medicine.
We should make it because it's good trade.
tim pool
You know what it is?
unidentified
What?
tim pool
They were all, it was in the Xinhua newspaper where they said this.
They didn't say it to us.
adam crigler
Oh my goodness.
tim pool
That's ridiculous.
So it's basically like, we overhear them smack-talking us, and so we're like, we're gonna leave.
unidentified
No, no, no, no, don't leave!
tim pool
We need your money!
It's like, nah, dude, I'm good.
adam crigler
It's like, nah, I'm pretty sure all Americans are together in the fact that we need to start producing our own stuff.
tim pool
I don't, you know, what's crazy to me is how many Trump supporters are still rejecting the notion that the virus is a serious threat.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Not all of them.
But for real, for a long time, a lot of, you know, even Fox News was late to the game, except for Tucker.
Tucker was before everyone, even the mainstream media.
adam crigler
Tucker rules.
tim pool
Like, CNN stuff.
Tucker's great.
But there was, like, you know, Hannity, Laura Ingram, a couple other people, they were downplaying it.
One woman got her show pulled, because she called it, like, a big hoax or something.
I don't remember exactly what she said.
But the crazy thing to me is, The coronavirus isn't Trump's fault, so it would have been smart for any Trump supporter to have called it out, probably why Tucker did, but more importantly, it's now given him the power to do whatever he wants.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Like, obviously not whatever he wants, but he just shut down the borders, North and South.
unidentified
He's keeping Canadians out!
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Boom, like that.
Now he's got the Defense Production Act, he hasn't actually triggered it yet, but now he could literally be like, alright, all the manufacturing has to come back.
He doesn't need to ask anymore.
He can just literally be like, boom, do it.
So he's now going to get everything he wants.
They're now deporting all asylum seekers.
Without question.
No one's challenging them.
Supreme Court said, nope, we're not going to be doing this while we're in an emergency right now.
So he's just getting free reign to do his thing.
adam crigler
That's a frightening premise.
Dude, you've got feminists... When one man has that much power.
tim pool
It is.
But when, in a time of national emergency, it's, I mean, there are limits for sure.
You know, if he goes nuts, you'll see la resistance.
Like a legit one, not these stupid people who wear pink hats and think they're doing something with their little, you know, firecrackers, like, ram, ram, ram, walking on the street.
But...
Trump, he's turned away all asylum seekers.
Without question.
There's no more courts while we're waiting for this.
And no one's complaining.
They're actually agreeing with him.
Like the pundits on TV.
There's still some naysayers, but now a poll came out from Harris and ABC showing the majority of Americans support his actions on the coronavirus.
It's helping him in every step, every way.
I mean, the market's tanking, but no one's blaming him for it.
lydia smith
Right?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
He's gonna be like FDR.
lydia smith
I know, right?
tim pool
There's that meme of the, uh, what was it, Tom Hanks movie where the boat gets kidnapped?
Oh, the Castaways?
Yeah, is that what it was?
lydia smith
I'm not sure.
unidentified
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
tim pool
Where the guy's like, look at me, I'm the captain now.
lydia smith
Oh, yeah, the Captain Phillips movie.
tim pool
Yeah, there's the meme.
You know that dude who's like, look at me, I am the captain now?
adam crigler
No.
tim pool
You never saw that?
So it's a meme, and he's wearing a MAGA hat, and it says, look at me, I am the socialist now.
But dude, dude, like, So Trump and the proposal from the Republicans is to give everyone $1,200.
And it's not perfect.
It's like they're bracing it off your 2018 tax returns, which is like not going to make sense for a lot of people.
But the progressives are totally down for it.
And they're saying, like, we need to do this, cut these checks immediately.
Trump supporters are like, Trump, we trust you, do it.
And the Democrats are like, no, no, no, no, no, we're not going to give people relief.
So all of a sudden, like, it's not even about being a socialist.
So it is annoying when people are calling it socialism.
I think it's just called emergency stimulus, emergency provisions.
lydia smith
I would agree, this is not socialism.
tim pool
And it's weird to see socialists saying, go Trump!
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
They're cheering for him.
adam crigler
Yeah, it is weird.
tim pool
He's going to win.
adam crigler
Yeah, I think so too.
tim pool
All right, let's get to these Super Chats.
adam crigler
Well, what it's doing also is showing the... It's putting a microscope on those Democrats that just say, no, Trump bad, no matter what he's doing.
Even though everyone else, even the people that used to agree with him, are like, yeah, this is good.
We need this.
tim pool
And they're like, no, it's bad.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
That's crazy, man.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
I feel like we got to be in some kind of...
Video game or comedy sketch?
This can't be a real existence.
I'm glad though, you know why?
Isn't it better that life is exciting than, you know?
I don't mean for the virus, I mean the silliness of politics.
lydia smith
These are interesting times.
tim pool
Maybe it's always interesting though.
lydia smith
Maybe times are always interesting.
tim pool
No, I mean, just like, we look back on history and it's condensed.
Yeah, that's a good point.
When we read about World War I, it's like, in this month this happened, and then in this month this happened.
lydia smith
Sounds boring.
tim pool
But no, no, to us, we read this one paragraph of all this exciting, crazy stuff.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
This invasion happened, then the generals did this.
And in real life, it took over a couple months.
So for the most part, things were boring.
It reminds me of, like, you know, I'll be, like, watching a TV show, and I'm always thinking, like, why is it that in this universe crazy stuff happens all the time?
adam crigler
Yeah.
Non-stop.
tim pool
But in reality, it's not.
In a lot of shows, there's time gaps between each episode.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
To a certain degree.
And so I always wondered, like, watching, like, Marvel MCU movies, the time jumps between movies is typically from when, like, the movie was published.
And so I'm imagining that there's like in the beginning of Infinity War when Doctor Strange is like, what sandwich do you want?
And he's like, I wouldn't say no to a tuna melt.
There's a whole bunch of boring nothing that happens in between these great epic movies.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, where it's like the superheroes are eating shawarma like at the end of Avengers.
adam crigler
Yeah.
That's good.
tim pool
So yeah, life typically is fairly routine, but now we're in this time where everything feels like an eternity because every day something crazy is happening.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Maybe the internet is just making us feel like life is crazier than it really is.
adam crigler
Well yeah, that does make sense.
Information's spreading.
lydia smith
I would say so, yeah.
tim pool
I have this, I have this, I was thinking about, I have this like, hypothesis.
You know they say that when you get older time flies, like the older you get?
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
I don't know why.
I was thinking about what that could be, and I was feeling, here's what I think.
When you're younger, everything to you is new, and you have to really, like, absorb it.
adam crigler
Well, there's also the comparison of, like, a 10-year-old only knows what 10 years feels like.
So one year is 10% of that person's life.
Where a 30-year-old, they've been alive 30 years.
tim pool
Three times more.
adam crigler
Right.
And then a 60-year-old, so one year... A year is a smaller portion of your life.
Yeah, it's a significantly smaller portion as you go.
tim pool
But I don't think that explains perception.
Here's what I think.
When you're younger, and you experience the mailman showing up for the first time, and you're confused.
Who is this man?
What is he doing?
And your parents explain it to you.
You absorb that moment.
You remember that moment.
That moment matters.
When you're older, these little moments become completely negligible, and your brain just, don't need it.
adam crigler
Oh, it's the mailman.
tim pool
Means nothing.
adam crigler
Whatever.
tim pool
Routine.
So now what's happening is your active experience of your life is cutting out everything you don't think matters.
adam crigler
So if you do something- Yeah, that makes sense.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
So it's like the amount of time where you're actively analyzing and absorbing something gets smaller and smaller as you get older.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And so throughout your day, your mind is cutting out bigger and bigger portions of your day.
lydia smith
Right, that's why you forget stuff.
tim pool
And it feels like time is moving faster.
Makes sense.
Because these things that don't matter anymore.
So that's why I've always felt like, do something new every day, and it will feel like a longer time is spent.
unidentified
Hm.
tim pool
Now we have this news cycle where every single day we get 50 billion crazy things.
adam crigler
That's why this week has gone by so fast.
tim pool
No, no, no, that's the opposite.
adam crigler
I don't know.
I feel like this week flew by.
Dude, for me, I feel like... It's just coronavirus, coronavirus, coronavirus to me.
tim pool
Yeah, dude, I feel like the past two months have been ten years.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Because it's just nuts.
Dude, I can't even believe this.
No, listen, man.
adam crigler
It's Friday today and I was like, I woke up today, I'm like, dang, it's Friday.
tim pool
Think about this.
adam crigler
How did this get here so quick?
tim pool
You went off, you were back in Arizona in January.
Yeah.
And we didn't even have the show going.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
And coronavirus was happening and I was making videos about it and stuff.
And now it's like we're in the middle of it.
It happened.
I'm like, when did this happen?
I was talking about this and we were going to the store and go to the movies and everything was normal.
adam crigler
Yeah, we went to the movies a few times this year.
tim pool
And now it's like, a switch was flicked and now everything is dramatically different like we've been locked down.
That's crazy.
It feels like it's been a really long time.
adam crigler
We should review a movie.
tim pool
We can't go to the movies, they're closed.
adam crigler
But they opened the movies to online.
Oh, that's right.
tim pool
We can watch The Hunt after this.
adam crigler
We can go watch that, and we can do something different tomorrow.
tim pool
We should watch The Hunt.
adam crigler
Yeah, we'll do it on Monday.
tim pool
Yeah, you guys know The Hunt, where basically a bunch of conservatives get kidnapped by liberals.
adam crigler
And I thought they canceled it, didn't they?
And they were like, let's bring it back!
tim pool
Let's do it anyway!
adam crigler
Let's prep everyone for the real purge that's happening soon.
lydia smith
Oh yeah, coming soon to a town near you.
adam crigler
Dude, no.
tim pool
Alright, let's read a little bit more.
adam crigler
Yes.
Keep sidetracking us, sorry.
tim pool
David Jensen says, since you were talking about people with no inner monologue, you should also talk about people who can't visualize things in their heads.
I can't visualize in my head.
lydia smith
Oh, weird.
tim pool
To me, that's crazy.
unidentified
Wow.
adam crigler
That's crazy.
I was talking to Nisha earlier about that.
It's like, you know, not a lot of people have an inner monologue, but it's not the inner monologue that people think, like the movie inner monologue.
It's like, I went to the store and then, oh man, I was really nervous about meeting this girl at this date.
It's like, no one's Actually thinking that yeah, it's not it's not that but Most of the time it is visual visualizing things in your head when I guess what you do You know when I scan of a visual thing when I'm so I think in several different ways So when I skate before I do a trick if I'm trying to learn something new I like slow motion visualize how I do it my head and
But what does a person do that can't do that?
What is going on?
Like this person just said, they can't visualize things.
They're not visual.
I don't know.
So what is going on in there?
What are you thinking when you think?
If you can't visualize something and you have no inner monologue, what is it?
What exists in there, in your brain?
I'm seriously asking.
I'm curious.
tim pool
I have no idea.
adam crigler
We gotta get someone on the show.
unidentified
Let's grab some more of these.
tim pool
Student of History says, Hey Tim, what do you think of the odds of chloroquine being a helpful drug in all of this?
Also, have you seen in a Nutshells video about Corona, says the immuno response is actually the reason you get hit.
Right.
So the immune reaction is really harsh and fills your lungs with fluid and then you can't breathe and then That's why I think they put someone into an induced coma to try and like reduce this somehow or something like that.
adam crigler
Oh wow.
tim pool
Dean Badger says, I imagine a cop going, what are you doing out here?
You cough on your hand and start walking toward him.
He shoots you because he's in fear for his life.

adam crigler
That's frighteningly true.
tim pool
Maham says, we cannot have a nation shutdown.
The media cause so much to panic by.
I can barely get food myself in the city.
If not, disregard safety measures.
If this shutdown gets approved, then all civility will be lost in the US.
There are new videos and photos emerging of beautiful pristine stocked shelves at Costco.
And it's like people celebrating capitalism.
But yes, Costco had a bunch of the supplies in the back, just needed to restock them.
So a lot of these images of the shelves being empty was because people went in really, really fast, took it all, and then they didn't have a night to restock everything.
So now the restocking has happened.
Like, we got milk.
adam crigler
We should go to Costco again.
tim pool
But now I'm not even worried at all.
lydia smith
I don't even want to go to Costco.
tim pool
So the milk was all gone the other day, today.
Milk.
No problem.
adam crigler
Okay.
Yeah.
tim pool
Milk and bread.
All good.
No distilled water, though.
That was a bummer.
adam crigler
Yeah, the water thing.
People are starting to wise up on the water.
tim pool
Oh, yeah.

His Christian name.

If you can't get a background check, you can't buy.

You can't buy it.

Should we drill holes in the table?

Such nonsense.
Cancel culture.
tim pool
So let me see if I can find this story.
Ooh, I got a couple of stories, but this is the one I really want to get to.
The new trend!
Young people who have no regard for, I don't know, existence.
They're basically a whole bunch of little jokers.
Out-of-control teenagers coughing on grocery store produce.
Let me first say something.
This may surprise many of you, but I'm going to have some defensive words for Millennials.
Often I like to rag on Millennials for being stunted, you know, lackadaisical layabouts.
adam crigler
Well, Millennials are actually getting older now.
They're not the teens that are doing this stupid stuff.
We're complaining about these young'uns now.
tim pool
So here's what's happening.
Because, you know, the same thing was probably true for Gen X when they were younger.
Because Millennial was the go-to, like, Repscallion with no regard for whatever.
adam crigler
Okay, Boomer.
It's the same thing.
unidentified
Right.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Well, no, no, that's going up.
adam crigler
Right, it's the other way.
tim pool
They drag millennials for all of the things that Gen Z is doing.
Millennials are nearing 40.
They're in their mid-30s now.
They have houses in the suburbs and kids.
adam crigler
And kids, what?
tim pool
They are not the ones going around planking, partying in South Beach during a pandemic.
They're the ones on the balconies screaming, go home.
Yeah, we're getting old.
lydia smith
Yeah, we're getting real cranky.
unidentified
And now we're cranky, and these whippersnappers coughing on produce.
Doing shots out of each other's butts.
adam crigler
I never knew about that.
I don't know if I believe it.
tim pool
The beer on the butts thing?
adam crigler
Yeah, the beer on the butts thing.
tim pool
Yeah, they pour it down the crack and then catch it under the crack.
And they do it, it's like a human centipede thing.
adam crigler
So what, they're putting their mouth at the tank?
tim pool
Dude, they're going under the butts.
unidentified
Have you been to South Beach, bro?
No!
adam crigler
And I will never go!
tim pool
Well, yeah, because you're an old man.
adam crigler
We did go to South Beach actually that one time.
tim pool
That's right, we did.
adam crigler
We walked through and we were like, look at all these crazy people.
tim pool
I have only two words for you, bro.
Okay, boomer.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh!

Okay, boomer.
adam crigler
Sure.
And now I'm officially a boomer and a millennial.

Okay.

Idle teenagers are participating in a disturbing trend of coughing on grocery store produce and posting their pranks online as the nation fights the coronavirus, which is known to spread from human droplets spraying from mouths.
The latest incident occurred in the Washington exurb of Percival, Virginia, some 55 miles from the White House.
According to a Percival Police Department report, an incident occurred at a local grocery store involving juveniles reportedly coughing on produce while filming themselves and posting it on social media.
Congratulations, young people.
You are dumb.
The report said that the store, identified on social media as Harris Teeter, immediately removed the items and cleaned up the area.
The police said the grocery store immediately removed the items in question and has taken appropriate measures to ensure the health of store patrons.
On a community Facebook page, One woman who said she witnessed the event wrote, Punk teenagers are hitting the grocery stores, coughing all over the produce and the grocery items, filming it and posting it to YouTube.
It scared the hell out of one elderly woman who was just trying to grocery shop.
Why the hell aren't these people keeping their teens home?
This is not summer vacay.
The police investigating the case said there is a national trend by teenagers to cough on food and film it.
lydia smith
That sounds right.
unidentified
It does, it sounds right.
adam crigler
It's not even surprising anymore.
lydia smith
No, I'm not.
tim pool
ways of what we are we are asking for parental assistance in monitoring your
teenagers activities as well as their social media posts to avoid the increase
of any further such incidents we have learned that this appears to be
disturbing trend on social media across the country and we ask for help from
parents discourage this behavior immediately in the past two weeks
schools around the nation have closed as authorities deal with the virus on go
adam crigler
back to work so this quote here when they're saying we're asking for parental
assistance like no no no Don't assist.
lydia smith
Be parents to your kids.
tim pool
Do your job.
adam crigler
Do your job.
You have kids.
It's your responsibility to teach them that this is stupid.
tim pool
And this pisses me off.
So Argentina's on lockdown.
adam crigler
Stupid people.
tim pool
And there was a video on Reddit of a bunch of Gen Z people like hanging out in the park.
And then cops show up in hazmat suits and start running full speed and like tackling them and arresting them.
And I have mixed feelings about this.
Like, I'm not sure I'm a fan of the government coming in and cracking down on people standing around in the park, but I'm also extremely annoyed by these ridiculously arrogant morons who are like, who cares, whatever, it's dumb.
adam crigler
I'm just trying to get likes.
lydia smith
I can't get hurt.
tim pool
Oh yeah, coughing on, yeah.
adam crigler
Yeah, you're so cool.
tim pool
And it's dudes who are in face the brunt.
It's like these little kids, now that they're out of school, they have nothing to do, so they're doing what social media has bred them to do.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's true.
tim pool
Be stupid, because it gets them clicks.
adam crigler
You gotta stop glorifying this stuff.
tim pool
It's not even about glorifying it.
adam crigler
It's about... They do, though.
tim pool
They're in the news.
unidentified
Boom.
tim pool
They won.
That's it.
adam crigler
They won.
tim pool
It's not even about glorifying it.
adam crigler
Well, it's great.
This is the first time we've done this or talked about something like this.
And I don't see their names.
I don't see their pictures.
I don't see the videos of them coughing.
Awesome.
This is great.
This is just exactly what needed to happen.
Like, parents need to know that this is the case.
Stop it from doing it.
Boom.
tim pool
Here's the thing, right?
This is over the top.
adam crigler
Agreed.
tim pool
But even the kids, I shouldn't even say the kids, they're like 20 or older.
lydia smith
Oh, much no better.
adam crigler
What says teenagers?
tim pool
No, but I'm talking about the South Beach stuff.
Oh, okay.
So, like, these are, you know, older college students.
adam crigler
Drinking, yeah.
tim pool
We are getting these mandatory lockdowns now because of that.
In New Jersey, they put the curfew in place because the governor straight up said there are too many videos of these young people going to bars and just not caring.
So now we're going to shut the bars down.
lydia smith
8 p.m.
tim pool
So you mean to tell me I can't responsibly, you know, go about my business?
Maybe have a drink?
Because a bunch of dumb kids are sharing drinks and partying and sipping booze off each other's butts?
adam crigler
I mean, I'm pretty sure we're at the point where you know that it's much easier and better to just go spend Yeah.
the same amount you'd at the bar for like five times the amount of liquor
figure it out and bring it home and bring all your friends home
tim pool
but his hair hang out here so you know what maybe we're in the suburbs of a
backyard yeah dude I do lucky I do not envy city full man I
adam crigler
I'm grateful for that skate ramp to I was skating out there, and it's awesome.
I don't know what I would do without it.
tim pool
So I'm seeing all these posts where people are talking about exercises you can do at home.
adam crigler
Yeah, I know.
tim pool
Because there are people who live in cubicles in New York, and they spend most of their time outside of their cubicle.
They just sleep in it, but now you can't.
adam crigler
Well, there's this whole skate thing going around where people are doing skate tricks inside.
It's kind of cool, actually.
Actually, one kid did a trick, and I saw the floor break.
I was like, ooh!
I don't think he even noticed.
tim pool
I saw one cool thing where... That's cool.
adam crigler
They're rocking out some killer tricks inside.
tim pool
A dude using just the deck with no wheels.
See, this is the cool stuff kids are doing.
adam crigler
I saw that, actually, with the couch.
tim pool
On the couch.
adam crigler
Popping up on the couch.
Dude, I was so tempted.
tim pool
Popped up on the couch and then did a kickflip off of it.
adam crigler
He did a few tricks.
That was cool.
tim pool
Check it out, man.
Skateboarders are doing cool stuff.
adam crigler
Yeah, they are.
tim pool
They're not going out and causing problems.
lydia smith
That's right, they're not drinking.
adam crigler
They're not coughing on produce.
tim pool
Here's the thing, you know what it is?
Skateboarders have an outlet for doing something on camera to get likes.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
It's true.
adam crigler
It's the trick.
tim pool
These people don't have that, so they fill that gap with nonsense like coughing on people's, you know, on produce in stores and causing trouble.
lydia smith
Club chasing, yeah.
tim pool
That's crazy, man.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
You know, I think that might be why I never grew up... Actually, look.
When I was younger, we did dumb stuff.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But we wouldn't go into a store and cough on people's produce.
Like, that's weird.
We would go out and skate, and we would do other things like... I guess I grew up in the Bam Margera, CKY kind of era.
adam crigler
Okay.
So hurting your friends and yourself more than others.
tim pool
But it was consensual.
So like getting in a shopping cart and then having to crash into a curb and you go flying out of it and roll in the grass.
adam crigler
Or into a bush.
tim pool
Everybody seemed to love doing that.
adam crigler
I will admit I've done it myself.
tim pool
I was more into the skateboarding though, right?
So what we were doing was stupid kid stuff, but skateboarding quickly became that outlet where it was like We didn't even have really likes back then, I guess.
We still had video views and stuff in the early days of social media.
But if you wanted to get attention and you wanted to show off, you had to be good at skateboarding.
adam crigler
Yeah, you had to be really good.
tim pool
So even the kids I knew who didn't like skateboarding would still try and do something.
To be like, look, I can do something too.
Now you've got kids who grew up without anything, but social media is making it so, well, they want followers.
That's like the thing to be successful these days.
How many followers do you have?
How many likes do you have?
How many views do you get?
Well, they found a way.
So, it's like the dude who got arrested for licking the ice cream.
It's gonna keep getting worse.
And now that we're in a national emergency, I wouldn't be surprised if we're gonna see this tenfold.
adam crigler
I agree, because, I mean, even the celebrities are going crazy.
Oh, that's right.
In their rich-ass places.
Desperate for attention.
Yeah, they're desperate for attention.
tim pool
They're dying.
adam crigler
Let alone, like, the kids that, you know, they're actually getting attention when they go to school.
You know, they're around with their peers and other kids, like, you know, there still is that aspect, so they're getting some sort of something from it.
But now that they have nothing, you know, they gotta stay inside their homes, it's just gonna be like...
Oh, I gotta get attention.
tim pool
Itching?
adam crigler
I need attention.
unidentified
I need that Instagram.
Let me get a couple likes.
tim pool
The internet was a mistake.
unidentified
I know, right?
tim pool
I'm kidding.
The internet's awesome.
adam crigler
Yeah, the internet's great.
lydia smith
In some ways, it really magnifies all our flaws.
tim pool
Well, the bigger problem is bad parenting.
We're asking parents for assistance here.
No, it's called telling the parents to do their jobs as parents.
Smack the kid.
I'm kidding, don't smack him.
But I'm being facetious.
lydia smith
Just be a parent.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm not a parent.
adam crigler
I'm not a parent either, but I helped raise so many kids in my life.
Because I have younger siblings.
I have younger cousins.
For days I've got younger cousins.
And there was always a baby around.
It was always pitched off to the teenagers of the family, which happened to be me for a while.
I don't know.
tim pool
This is just like the hard times make strong men.
So we've got parents.
It's a bubble.
So they keep trying to be the cool parents.
I'm cool.
I'm hip.
I'm with it.
Oh, and then do what you want kids.
That was really funny.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And so the kids are out of control and they do dumb stuff.
adam crigler
And of course, not all of Gen Z. They don't want to offend anyone, especially their kid.
tim pool
Oh, that, yeah, do you see, um, speaking of the coronavirus, right?
Colbert, he built his career off offensive comedy.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Mocking different races and stereotypes, and he defended it by saying, my character made those jokes.
adam crigler
Right.
Now, now that he's on CBS, he's just- He was gonna say, he's letting go of his character, and now he's gonna be himself.
He said that when he started his show.
tim pool
Right, right, right, but the point is, Dude, just because he's doing a character, he's making offensive jokes.
He had a routine where he would make fun of Asians, and then every time he got called out and they would attack him for it, he would double down.
And it was hilarious.
And we all respected it.
Like, you go, man.
It's a joke.
Grow up.
Now that he left and went to CBS, now he's completely in agreement with all of these, like, can't make nasty jokes or whatever.
adam crigler
That's a shame.
tim pool
Yep.
So it's the desperation to fit in and the evolution of the people who are supposed to be cool will say whatever they have to say.
So when these kids are out of control and say whatever they want, the parents go, you got it!
Whatever you say.
They become losers.
They become weak.
Let's do this.
Let's jump now to the celebrities are losing their minds story.
And we'll go through this one.
Sam Smith shares quarantine meltdown on Instagram.
adam crigler
I don't care.
tim pool
Well, we're done.
Thanks for checking it out.
No, no, I have some theories about what's wrong with celebrities.
adam crigler
Please.
Someone in the comments was asking, I think it was Zero, he wants a Tim theory.
tim pool
So check it out.
adam crigler
Just any sort of Tim theory.
lydia smith
Here comes the Tim theory.
adam crigler
Give it to him.
tim pool
When you are a little kid, and let's imagine you're a child actor, actress, musician, whatever, Disney kid, you know.
Everyone in the world keeps telling you how amazing you are.
You grow up with this intense pressure, you gotta be the best, you gotta do this, and you're on top of the world.
As a little kid.
You now feel, as you grow up, the amount of love and attention you got from the entire world is baseline.
Not good, not bad.
Normal.
So what happens when you become a weird-looking adult, and then all of a sudden, people don't give you that much attention anymore, and you go down to slightly below average for you?
You're still famous.
We see these child actors and actresses go insane.
Starting fires in driveways, throwing bongs out windows.
adam crigler
And add that to our conversation yesterday.
About, you know, the female versus guys thing, you know?
It's like, if the baseline starts here for everybody now, everyone's starting up here, like, no matter if you're a guy or a girl, you know, then it's actually even worse for girls because it gets worse over time.
tim pool
These kids and these celebrities are told constantly by everyone how amazing and smart they are because they got money and power.
And so they got Yes Men and boot liquors all over the place.
Brown nosers, jamming their noses straight up the butts.
And it feels good.
lydia smith
Like drinking beer.
tim pool
What happens then when you get locked down in a quarantine?
adam crigler
Yeah.
All of a sudden, there's no one there to tell you how amazing you are.
So you freak out.
tim pool
And guess what?
Dude's crying.
Like the dude cried apparently.
adam crigler
Oh, they took the picture off.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Of him crying?
adam crigler
Yeah, there was a picture of him crying.
But that was the Daily Mail, it was a different article.
tim pool
So apparently... I don't care!
adam crigler
Write another song!
You're a musician!
Seriously, when I'm stuck somewhere with my guitar, guess what I do?
I play guitar.
And I write a song about it.
It's because you're an actual artist.
lydia smith
He's not!
adam crigler
Well thank you that you consider me an artist.
tim pool
Florbo told Florbo's self that Florbo was going to stay home and stay safe.
lydia smith
I cry a lot.
adam crigler
So for those that aren't familiar, Florbo is the word I use for gender neutral because if you're not a man or a woman, you're a Florbo.
lydia smith
That is correct.
tim pool
Right, right, right.
No, no, no, anybody who opts to use a non-standard pronoun is floor bone.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, what you end up with are people who say, I'm going to make you use the pronoun I want
you to use.
And my response is, no.
Well, here's the problem.
If I use your pronoun, I could offend someone else.
You know, I'm going to try not to offend you, but if I don't say your pronoun, you'll get
If I do, someone else in the room will get offended.
And I think it's fair that we avoid offending everybody.
So now I'm gonna call you a Florbo.
adam crigler
Yep.
unidentified
Alright?
tim pool
That's fair.
adam crigler
Florbo.
tim pool
Florbo.
adam crigler
I really do, I do like it.
I agree with it.
tim pool
Yeah.
That way, you know, and it's also, like, you can't tell me what to say.
Right?
adam crigler
Yeah, don't tell me what to do.
tim pool
But, uh, so Sam Smith apparently had a breakdown, but I, this is my theory, right?
adam crigler
And I'll reiterate, I don't care.
tim pool
Yep.
Think about a little kid who is a movie star, and then once they start getting older and go through the awkward phase or whatever, now people aren't saying nice things to them anymore.
And it feels like they're doing something wrong.
So YouTubers experience this, and it's really funny.
People- YouTubers' moods are predictable based on their traffic.
Like, you can go to a vlogger's channel, look at their past week of YouTube videos, and you'll see their view count slowly going down, and then all of a sudden a video will emerge where they're like, I don't know if I can do this anymore.
And they're like, it's just been so hard on me, and I'm like struggling with this, and I'm like, yeah bro, your views have been going down.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Now it's- it's possible their views are going down because they were losing their heart, they weren't into it anymore.
But in reality, this is a known phenomenon.
That people are attaching their success to the number associated with their videos.
The same is true for these celebrities, who are now freaking out.
Look at this one, this one's funny.
The quarantine celebrities have lost their minds.
adam crigler
Although, Will Ferrell is funny in every single... Look at it.
Show this picture.
Look how funny his face is.
His face is great.
tim pool
His face is great!
lydia smith
He's just always crazy, I guess.
adam crigler
He looks funny right there.
It looks like he's just like, he probably was like, toughed his hair up like, oh yeah, I'm gonna lean into this crazy celebrity thing.
lydia smith
Oh yeah, you bet.
He has a sense of humor.
adam crigler
Right?
tim pool
I cannot stand these people.
adam crigler
You know what, I couldn't bring myself to unmute the video and actually listen.
I still haven't heard it.
I don't know what it sounds like and I don't want to hear it.
I don't want to do it.
tim pool
The Daily Beast, for once, nails it, calling the video cursed.
If that cursed Imagine Singalong video from Gal Gadot is any indication, the quarantine celebs are starting to lose it.
Thankfully, we found some making things nice, too.
We found some making things nice.
adam crigler
I'm going to assume that's Will Ferrell's part of it, just because I want to.
No, no, he's just talking about like... No, I just want to believe it.
lydia smith
All right, all right, okay.
adam crigler
Conversation over.
tim pool
So, you know what's the cringiest thing?
Well, first of all, this is just so, so awful.
Look, man, I'm not trying to... I always want to clarify, when I say negative things, it's not to elicit an emotional response from someone.
Like when someone insults you, they're trying to make you get an emotional reaction.
I'm not trying to do that.
I genuinely detest this.
adam crigler
I mean, there was a time that I was affected by people insulting me, because I was modeling for a long time, and my face was all over the place, and I did certain things that people made fun of me, and I used to get upset about it.
And then I realized one day, it didn't really matter what other people think.
unidentified
Just turn it off.
tim pool
Turn the screen off.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's great.
Look at Sarah Silverman's face.
She even knows how cringey it is.
lydia smith
She's cringing herself.
adam crigler
She's like, oh, this is bad, but I'm going to do it.
All right, sorry, go ahead.
tim pool
These people are like narcissism incarnate.
It's like, man, it's just the worst people you've ever met.
The absolute worst snooty elitists who think they're smarter and better than you.
And this is why they're celebrities, because they're driven to be in front of everyone else.
I was reading this study that said, why is it so many celebrities are narcissists?
And it said, if you take a hundred people, And you have 99 of them saying, and are modest, and unsure of themselves at some times, or ask for advice.
They'll say things like, a regular person, you know, I made this painting, what do you think of it?
Do you think it's good?
I'm not so sure I like it.
The narcissist says, everything I do is amazing!
Everyone needs to look at me!
And so they jump out in front of everyone and start dancing around so everyone can see them, and that's why they become celebrities.
Then they think, well, we're special celebrities.
Let's all text everybody because everyone will love us so much if we do this video together.
And I'm just like, you people are awful.
It's just awful.
adam crigler
It's bad.
tim pool
But I really do feel like...
They know what they're doing.
Your era is gone.
The celebrities doing these silly things.
Like, they got a text message together and they said, hey everybody, let's all do this thing to people.
Like, they think they're this special thing.
You're not.
You're just weird people.
You're arrogant and narcissistic.
adam crigler
And bored.
tim pool
And bored.
lydia smith
Too much money.
adam crigler
I think they're bored.
lydia smith
Too much time.
adam crigler
They're used to having strict schedules for movies, and then they have, like, two months off where they're like, oh, I have off.
I can travel to some exotic place.
tim pool
Not all of them.
I don't know.
I mean, like, some of them are not really doing much right now.
adam crigler
Well, then why are they going crazy if they're not doing much?
tim pool
Because they're narcissists who are used to having everyone shove their noses up their butts.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
Now they're locked in their house saying, like, imagine this way.
Imagine if every day you went to a meeting and, like, ten people walked up and started sniffing your butt.
You'd be used to it to be normal.
And then one day you're at home, you're under quarantine and no one's sniffed your butt.
You're going to be like, dude, I need to go on Twitter and get some people to start sniffing my butt.
And then you start tweeting and posting this dumb stuff, thinking that now people are going to give you that attention you want.
I bet these people go through their mentions and like read every single one.
adam crigler
I mean, everybody likes attention.
Everybody.
tim pool
No, that's not true.
adam crigler
I don't agree with that.
tim pool
No, there are people who are introverted and don't like being the center of attention.
adam crigler
In some ways, they like attention.
Somewhere.
tim pool
I think people like being respected.
They like social acceptance and approval.
adam crigler
OK.
That's another way of saying it.
tim pool
Sure.
So something happened to these people.
Not all of them.
I think Will Ferrell's all right.
He's a funny guy.
He seems cool.
But I think a lot of these celebrities, something happened to them when they were young, where they didn't ever get fulfilled, or their parents never told them you're doing a good job or something.
It's like the stereotype of the mom with the little girl.
And she's always yelling at her, like, you have to act harder and sing better!
But, mom, I'm trying.
adam crigler
No, do harder!
tim pool
And it's like, no matter what she does, it's never good enough.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Then when she's older, it's this.
She needs everyone to be tweeting at her, you're the best, I love you, you're so great.
Otherwise, they feel like they've done something wrong.
That's what I was saying about child actors.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's true.
Could be it.
I see it.
tim pool
If you grow up, and you're on stage, and you're, you know, everyone's clapping and cheering for you, what happens then when your show is over?
Like, what was that chick from All That?
And then she had her own show, the Amanda show, Amanda Bynes.
lydia smith
Oh, she went crazy.
tim pool
I think she's doing okay now.
adam crigler
Did she go crazy?
I don't know anything about that.
tim pool
Yeah, she like started a fire in a driveway.
adam crigler
Seriously?
tim pool
Yeah, she was on All That when she was young, and then she had her own show called The Amanda Show, and that's actually where that dude Drake from Drake and Josh got his start too.
I don't know about that either.
And he got his own show.
Okay.
You don't know Drake and Josh?
It's like a kid sitcom.
lydia smith
I don't know, man.
tim pool
It's just like Disney Channel stuff.
People know this stuff.
adam crigler
I'm sorry, wait.
No, no, no.
TV?
No, I don't watch TV.
tim pool
Anyway, the point is, she was young.
She was on the show.
She had her own show.
And then all of a sudden, as time went on, she started going crazy.
Like Lindsay Lohan, too.
Oh yeah, I remember that.
adam crigler
Britney Spears.
She went crazy too, didn't she?
lydia smith
She did have a little meltdown.
tim pool
That was short.
I don't know about that.
adam crigler
That was short.
tim pool
I don't know.
adam crigler
I don't know.
I remember a time where she went crazy.
lydia smith
She shaved all her hair off.
tim pool
That was because of drug testing.
adam crigler
She was getting drug tested?
tim pool
They wanted to take her kid away.
So, I don't know the full story.
lydia smith
Stressful.
tim pool
They wanted to do a hair test, so she shaved her head off, so they couldn't do a hair test, because she had, you know, long hair.
Ten years of hair.
adam crigler
Yeah, okay.
tim pool
So, I don't know the full story, so I don't wanna, I'm not gonna slam Britney.
adam crigler
I don't know anything about it.
tim pool
No, I'm kidding.
But I'm not here to defend, you know, Britney Spears or whatever.
The point is, yeah, a lot of them go through these weird breakdowns where they lose it and they go nuts.
It reminds me of, you ever see the movie Dogma?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
When Bethany, in the beginning, says that when she was younger, she had a glass that was full of faith.
But as she got older, the glass got bigger, but the amount of faith going into that glass was never enough to fill it.
adam crigler
I don't remember it very well, but... That's the analogy she used.
tim pool
Like, when you're little, you have a small glass that you fill with water.
And it's really easy to fill, you only need a little bit.
But as you get older, and your glass becomes bigger, you need more and more to give you that feeling.
That's what it's like when... So, like, to go back to the YouTubers thing, If every day a YouTuber's views isn't a little bit better, they feel bad.
Like, oh no, I need to do better every day.
It's impossible.
adam crigler
They don't get that dopamine kick.
So people are going on these dopamine retreats where they're like, they don't have detoxing from dopamine.
And then when they come out of it, it's like everything's amazing again.
It's almost like if you don't drop acid and unlock that third eye.
lydia smith
No kids.
adam crigler
No, don't do that.
tim pool
Family show.
adam crigler
Don't do that.
I'm just talking about It's also like fasting.
tim pool
Like if you don't eat for a day, the next day everything tastes better.
It's like you gotta relax, man.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
These people couldn't let it go.
They couldn't take one quarantine and do nothing.
They had to be like, but we must be the center of attention.
Let's all sing the Beatles.
And everyone's making fun of them for it.
adam crigler
Good.
tim pool
You should be made fun of.
You're weird people.
adam crigler
Well, they're getting their attention, aren't they?
tim pool
I mean, we are too, so.
I mean, who am I to speak, right?
We have a show.
unidentified
Whatever.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's true.
We got 9,000 people hanging out with us right now, so.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
Woo!
tim pool
My dopamine is through the roof.
No, but admittedly, like, we had 11,000 yesterday and the day before.
We have 9,000 today.
I don't care.
adam crigler
Yeah, right.
tim pool
Like, I'm glad everyone's here.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
If people wanted to leave, I'd be like, well, you know, can't win them all, right?
lydia smith
Maybe more tomorrow.
tim pool
Grow up.
Do your best.
Carry on.
And don't be a whiny little baby because you have to quarantine yourself.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
Anyway, let's get to the Super Chats.
After we complained about celebrities while we're on a show with 9,000 concurrent viewers.
lydia smith
Yes, about that.
tim pool
Alright, let's see, where are we at?
adam crigler
I knew the comments would flush awash with comments about that.
unidentified
About what?
tim pool
That we're on a show?
adam crigler
No, what I just said earlier.
Anyway, continue.
tim pool
Which one?
Wait, what?
adam crigler
No, no, I'm not going to repeat it.
You told me, like, nah, we're a family show.
lydia smith
No, that's right.
We're not doing, we're not dropping anything.
adam crigler
No dropping stuff.
lydia smith
Do not drop things.
tim pool
Have you ever done DMT?
adam crigler
I haven't, no.
tim pool
That's crazy.
lydia smith
All right, Joe.
adam crigler
But I would.
tim pool
Joe's awesome.
adam crigler
I'm just saying.
That's crazy.
I would.
tim pool
All right, where are we at?
ThatGamer says, my mom was making fun of me because I was prepped for a zombie apocalypse, and who is laughing now?
With me having enough MREs to last me only three weeks.
adam crigler
Boom.
tim pool
TheLastChickenNugget says, looked up Adam's modeling pics and zams at you.
That's right, you are Soy Chadham.
adam crigler
I'm blushing a little bit.
tim pool
Kevin Ferguson says, I can't stop looking at the cable now, thanks.
adam crigler
Oh yeah.
Oh no.
I guess I'll have to do that.
tim pool
The Grizzly says, can't go to work.
Luckily already have guns, ammo, and the new Doom game that just got delivered by Amazon.
Stay safe out there.
adam crigler
Excellent.
tim pool
It's good.
Dan says, here in Washington State, the system is so backed up, I have symptoms and can't get through to get tested.
The actual infected must be much higher.
It's true.
Ed Caron says, I work loss prevention at Whole Foods, security at a trucking yard, and my dad is in CFD.
Would love the opportunity to talk to you all about what we see.
Oh, that'd be interesting.
adam crigler
Yeah, it would.
tim pool
Keith Wagner says, how can I become a member?
I don't see the option.
If you don't see the option, go to youtube.com slash timcastirl slash join.
lydia smith
Yep.
tim pool
Box pops up.
Click the button.
Five bucks a month.
You get access to the show.
You got to go to the community section of the YouTube channel.
We post it there every day.
YouTube is broken.
There's a lot wrong with their system.
But hey, that's how it works for now.
But we will have the show up on iTunes soon.
We should be approved by iTunes, and I don't know.
That's why we keep things family-friendly.
adam crigler
Yeah, that'd be good.
tim pool
Although, surprisingly, iTunes does allow, like, really nasty stuff.
adam crigler
Ooh.
Oh, then we'll be fine.
tim pool
Yeah, we're fine.
adam crigler
We're fine.
tim pool
We're totally... We're fine!
adam crigler
People can handle it.
lydia smith
We're grown-ups, sort of.
tim pool
Also, don't forget to click the like button, I guess.
We should say that earlier on, if it matters.
Apparently it matters.
lydia smith
We did, one time.
tim pool
Yeah, we did.
Joe Dutchman says, did you see Trump btfo Peter Alexander?
He tried to create a fear narrative and when Trump called him out, he backpedaled.
The leftist media has cut out the context to make Trump look bad.
adam crigler
No, I was watching it and I was shocked that Trump went there.
Because the guy just straight up asked like...
tim pool
Did you see what the guy asked him before?
adam crigler
Yeah, I was watching it.
Oh, like the previous, earlier on?
tim pool
Yeah, yeah.
adam crigler
No, I must have missed that question.
unidentified
Exactly.
adam crigler
The same guy, what did he say?
tim pool
That's what he's saying.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
So the guy basically starts insulting Trump, and then once it comes back to him, he says, what would you say to Americans?
And then Trump finally just says, you're awful.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Because the guy was trying to create a fear narrative, saying, he was saying things to Trump like, why are you trying to give people hope?
Wire, you know, things like that.
adam crigler
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right.
tim pool
And so Trump is like, what?
And so CNN wrote an article saying something like... False narrative of hope.
No, it said, yeah, Trump offers unsubstantiated hope to America.
It's like, what?
adam crigler
He's the president.
lydia smith
That's his job.
unidentified
What is he supposed to do?
adam crigler
That's his job, yeah.
tim pool
Imagine this.
Trump comes out and goes, ladies and gentlemen, it's over.
unidentified
America's done.
Give up.
There's no hope.
There's no hope.
What?
tim pool
So that's why he called them out.
adam crigler
Okay, okay.
See, that does make a lot more sense.
tim pool
And what happens is, they only take the one snippet.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
Dude!
It was months of CNN and MSNBC saying, the China virus, the China virus, the China virus.
Trump watches this and then says, so the China virus, and they go, ha, got you, you racist!
adam crigler
Well, it was like five or 10 minutes later, another reporter said, look, following up to his question, what would you say to that?
And he's like, you know what?
I'm just going to explain.
We've been through this, talking about that other reporter.
This isn't just this question.
He's a bad reporter because he's constantly trying to... That's what they do, man.
He did kind of like explain it and just like, anyway, next.
tim pool
You had a reporter from One American News basically lob a softball at Trump.
lydia smith
Yeah, I didn't like that either.
tim pool
And so I'm critical of it, but Jim Acosta from CNN did it all the time.
And then he wrote a book and tried to sell it in a tank or something.
I don't know.
That dude is the worst.
How are you going to tell me you're now mad at One American News for lobbing a softball at Trump, allowing him to opine, and you opining in the question, when you literally let Jim Acosta stand up and take the mic and... You know what, man?
I'm not here to play these games.
If you can't call out people like him, don't expect me to be shocked when someone else does it.
And then you want me on your side?
I'm not playing these games, dude.
I can't stand these people.
It's all double standards.
Stephen says, on topic of time, I think time is relative.
Even though we can record time down to nanoseconds, how can we prove that the passage of time is always a constant between second to second?
Just a thought.
adam crigler
Hm.
unidentified
That's cool.
tim pool
We can't.
That's a cool thought.
I like it.
If we perceive time as a constant, but time isn't a constant, and our perception is locked to it, then perhaps something outside of time can see us.
So, I guess the easiest way to explain it is the distance between each second could be variable.
But because we experience time as a constant, like we're falling, we just see it as a constant.
adam crigler
Yeah, it would just be as what we see.
tim pool
But anyone outside of it could see there were gaps, or stretches, and to us it would be... Ghosts.
Ghosts.
Interdimensional beings.
Let's read some more.
Asher says, the kids that were coughing on the food should be treated like they had guns pulled out.
Well, something should happen.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Maddie Lee Chamber says, new video just posted of youth immigrants in England spitting and coughing in the faces of older folks and laughing about it.
Oh, man.
adam crigler
These people, I don't get it.
tim pool
Gigi Evans says, Bill Burr, look, 85% population has got to go.
We cannot sustain this.
Coronavirus way ahead of you, buddy.
Yeah.
Be careful what you wish for.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Drunk Trouble says, whack your kids.
It worked for me.
Don't want to get hit.
Stop messing up.
lydia smith
Worked for me.
adam crigler
I don't- I never got hit.
tim pool
There's a big difference between, like, beating your kid and giving him a bop.
Like, I'm not saying cause pain, but there's gotta be some way, like- It's more of a, like, pay attention to me.
adam crigler
This is important.
tim pool
Right.
Yeah, don't get out of line.
lydia smith
My parents were really structured about it.
We would go to their room.
It was like a little procedure.
You were getting spanked.
You were in trouble.
You couldn't sit in mom and dad's room until mom was ready to come talk to you.
And that was how that worked.
It wasn't like, out of anger.
It was never out of anger.
tim pool
You know what I'm gonna do?
adam crigler
I think that's the key.
tim pool
You know what I'm gonna do?
adam crigler
That's the difference.
lydia smith
And afterwards they're like, we love you.
adam crigler
Because when it's in anger, you're beating your kids.
lydia smith
Exactly.
That's messed up.
unidentified
That's abuse.
adam crigler
But if it's not in anger, and you're like, you need to understand, you did something wrong.
lydia smith
Right.
adam crigler
And this is how you're gonna get disciplined.
It's not in anger.
tim pool
I'm gonna hold trials.
adam crigler
Oh yeah?
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
That's pretty cool.
I like it.
I will be on the jury if you need me.
I will be the judge.
tim pool
And we'll have a jury, and I'll be the prosecutor.
lydia smith
Cool.
tim pool
Well, should I be the judge?
I don't know.
The point is, the kid's gonna be like, you know, brother hit me, and I'll be like, that's a serious charge.
lydia smith
That is a serious charge.
tim pool
Let's convene a grand jury.
Well, for a simple assault, I think we'll issue the arrest.
And then we'll ask for evidence, and we'll say, can you prove beyond a reasonable doubt he did it?
And then when he's got, like, the marks on his face or whatever, I'll say, you know, present your defense.
You're innocent until proven guilty.
And we'll go through the motions, and then we'll issue a verdict.
You are hereby grounded and fined $5 from your allowance.
lydia smith
Yeah.
unidentified
Ooh.
tim pool
Yeah.
That's good.
But you know why I like this?
I mean, I'm joking, right?
But in reality, if slash when I have kids, their chores will earn cash, they'll get paid a wage, we'll track their hours, we'll track the job they do, I'll negotiate with them on how much they should get.
adam crigler
That's great.
tim pool
They should learn how the world works.
lydia smith
Yeah, I had to negotiate for my allowance.
adam crigler
Really?
lydia smith
Oh yeah, I did.
I had to remind my dad every week.
I was the only kid who did it.
adam crigler
I got no allowance.
I was just told to do the trash.
tim pool
I got an allowance like twice in my life.
lydia smith
It wasn't until I was like 15.
adam crigler
Actually, you know what?
It's pretty sexist.
I was just told to do the trash and my sisters got to do the dishes.
I was the garbage man.
lydia smith
I would way rather have done the trash too.
tim pool
I hate the dishes.
lydia smith
I do not like the dishes.
tim pool
Dishes was the worst.
It was like, when the dishes came up, you were like, no!
adam crigler
Well, I mean, if you do the dishes right after the food is, like, prepared, it's easy to do.
lydia smith
I had five siblings and two parents and me, so I did not want to do the dishes, because there were a lot of freaking dishes.
adam crigler
Well, you'd have to do it by yourself.
lydia smith
Usually, yeah.
adam crigler
No, they would do it together.
It was two of them.
lydia smith
Oh, yeah.
No, that's not fair.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
It was misproportionate.
adam crigler
And I did the garbage by myself.
tim pool
Garbage is easy, man.
adam crigler
And I didn't get paid for it.
lydia smith
I know, right?
tim pool
All right, let's jump back in.
South Ink says, elites are in their bunkers.
So many CEOs step down, celebrities quitting their gigs.
Yikes.
Thanks for the super chat, G Bart.
Political Pothead says, no guns in NYC.
Only option is to order parts, then assemble, or a pre-1899 gun.
Broke quarantine to go get bud.
S-I-N-Y is a ghost town.

lydia smith
Sacrifice your life for bud?

Hey man, some people need it.

Solek Gray says, Avi's new vid about Tommy R. Things are getting sad.
I'll have to check it out.
C. Williams says, Wait, does anyone know how David Hogg is holding up?
Apparently very well.
I'd imagine.
He's wealthy.
Oh man, it just jumped on us.
Why you gotta do that?
Oh, we're getting slammed.
adam crigler
We're getting slammed.
lydia smith
We love you guys.
Thank you for chipping in.
adam crigler
Where are we at?
lydia smith
I love reading people's thoughts.
unidentified
There we go.
lydia smith
A little creepy.

Yeah.
lydia smith
A little bit.

It's all good.

Sorry for breathing so heavy into the mic.
I just keep laughing.

Say hi to my new wife, Megan.
Hi Megan!

adam crigler

tim pool
You'll have a story to tell.

Yeah.
tim pool
Like, so you can tell your kids, we got married under a quarantine in the great pandemic of 2020.
adam crigler
Congratulations, by the way.

Yeah.

Ethan Johansson says, Don't give them extra attention by complaining about them.
They're bored, so decided to sing.

Castle.
tim pool
After cattle are fed.

Mm-hmm.
lydia smith
Worked out great.
tim pool
FireMedic, thanks for becoming a member.
adam crigler
Thanks.
tim pool
Woolfault DeLeon says, Have you looked at Q yet?
I have not because there was something I read recently that someone posted on Facebook that was so absolutely wrong.
lydia smith
Oh, that too.
tim pool
And it didn't come true.
It was like a week ago.
They were like, a bunch of arrests had been made.
Like, none of it happened.
So I'm just like, I don't know, man.
I'm not interested.
Scott Judd says, Dear Tim, why do you keep calling that NY politician saying the virus could last 18 months?
He's a lefty, not a scientist.
Why should we listen to him?
I'm not talking about the NY politician.
adam crigler
Who said it?
tim pool
There was a story that said U.S.
government documents show a plan for 18 months.
Then there was another study put out, which was part of a story from MIT's technology review, saying because of the wave effect, because it's novel, we could be under lockdown for 18 months.
Then there was someone else who mentioned a vaccine could take 18 months.
So the 18-month thing has appeared numerous times from different sources.
lydia smith
Yeah, I've seen it multiple different places.
tim pool
Beatup says, Lydia, did you hear about the girl who licked women's toilet seats?
She said it's a virus challenge and said if symptoms are being hot and popular, I'm ill.
lydia smith
Oh my, that is consistent with everything I know about the generation.
adam crigler
Dude, did she actually say that?
tim pool
I guess.
I would believe it.
Remember that Rudy Gobert dude?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
He's like, I'm gonna touch everything and he got everyone sick.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Well he got some people sick, apologized for it.
So good on him for doing that, but come on man.
adam crigler
First hand, sorry.
Yeah.
tim pool
Darth Gary says, did you see Utah had a 5.7 earthquake? We did. Crazy.
Kritchian says, imagine all the celebrities working in the Amazon
warehouse. Actually that would be a funny sitcom.
Yeah, make them do some real hard work. Yeah. Post Talk says, Tim, on principle
should we legalize all drugs and prostitution? Isn't that in line with our
small government principles as a conservative?
I think so. Yes.
I agree.
I think people should be allowed to put whatever they want in their bodies.
There is a line for sure.
adam crigler
Well they did that in Europe and they have places that you can go and both do it and get help.
tim pool
Reduce the spread of diseases.
Stop overdosing.
And actually help people quit.
Make taxes for government services that can help fund these programs.
But more importantly, if people want to do it, like, it's weird to me that you can't eat a plant.
It's like, if you eat that, you're going to jail.
I'm like, but it's growing under this cow poop, sir.
adam crigler
I don't care.
tim pool
You will be arrested.
Do not eat that cow poop.
No for real, it's a weird thing to me.
So I think the bigger issue is whether you give to kids and encourage children and try and hurt children.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah, that's messed up.
tim pool
So there was like a funny thing where there's like libertarians debating whether or not they should be allowed to sell heroin to kids.
And I'm like, that's gonna be a hard no from me!
unidentified
I'm gonna go with no, not a libertarian.
adam crigler
I first smoked when I was 15, pot.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
And I wish I didn't, because I found out later on in life that the brain doesn't finish fully forming until you're like 23 or something.
tim pool
Between 24 and 28.
adam crigler
It varies.
24 and 28.
Right.
So, I mean, I don't know if I'm affected.
I don't know if, I mean, I love who I am.
Oh, that explains it.
unidentified
Yeah, exactly.
adam crigler
Explains everything.
That explains it.
Yeah.
I don't know, but I'm going to talk to my kids about it.
I'm going to tell them about these things and let them decide on their own.
I'm not going to give it to them.
tim pool
Yeah, I think the bigger issue is do you teach your kids how to be successful, what to fight and strive for, and what to do with their life?
Because without purpose, without guidance from good parents, then the only thing they need is dopamine.
And so they'll lay on the floor.
adam crigler
And they get that from coughing on vegetables.
tim pool
Exactly.
adam crigler
And taking videos of it.
tim pool
Exactly.
What's your mission, man?
To get famous.
I was greatly inspired by action movies and superheroes.

That's literally it.
Everyone wants to be famous.
unidentified
No, no.
tim pool
It's not about being famous.
No, no.
lydia smith
It is.
It's different.
adam crigler
They want fame.
tim pool
No, no, no.
I don't think so.
Some people do.
lydia smith
I think so.
tim pool
But my motivations, when I was growing up, I saw how much everyone I grew up watching a lot of anime.
And a lot of these stories, like Dragon Ball Z, for instance, is about sacrifice for the greater good, to protect those you love and care about.
So my motivations growing up was always about, like, you want to be the hero.
That's what people want of you.
If you don't instill values like that in your kids, your kids won't have them.
And they'll grow up thinking, like, all I want is for people to know my name.
And they'll start coughing on vegetables.
And spitting in people's faces.
or shooting up their school. These kids need to grow up with some good Dragon Ball Z.
I'm telling you what. See, when I was a kid, and I learned the great story of, I'm half kidding.
Yeah. No, but I think, you know, the other thing too is skateboarding, for sure. Because there were
a lot of, skateboarding has a lot of loose mentors. When you go and skate, you'll meet a lot of people
who are slightly older, who will give you advice, will tell you things. And it's like semi-passively.
But it's a very kind of like tribal thing, where you are just in this community, and people share ideas, and the older people will explain to you like, oh no, don't do that, because this will happen.
And you're like, oh, I didn't know that.
And these are people that you're more likely to trust as members of your community.
But yeah, you get a bunch of kids without leadership, and they're going to go nuts.
Drew Baca says, I'd rather have 9,000 quality fans than a million NPCs.
I think it's rad y'all skate and make music.
Does your co-host have any music on Spotify?
adam crigler
No, but you can go to my YouTube page.
It's actually quite old.
Or actually, you know what?
Go to my Instagram.
That's me right there.
And I just posted one of my newer songs called Melancholy Hellhound.
I actually played it on this 12-string.
So for those who are like, the 12-string needs attention, I actually play it in that video.
tim pool
And we are actually setting up all the recording stuff.
Not just for music, for general voiceover or sound booth recording, but we're gonna do a bunch of music too.
adam crigler
Yeah.

Patrick Quenneville says, got here late.
Google hydroxychloroquine, please.
Lydia.
We actually had a story we didn't get to, but actually I'll just pull it up right now.
We're going to go a little bit longer, because I do think it's important to show you guys.
French study finds anti-malarial and antibiotic combo could reduce COVID-19 duration.
So this is the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.
So this is an antibiotic.
My understanding is it's fairly common.
When you combine it, somehow it works.
Don't ask me.
Don't know.
But in this study, we can see that the amount of people who were infected dropped dramatically when they were on this for only a few days.
adam crigler
That's a huge drop.
tim pool
Huge drop.
adam crigler
Dope!
tim pool
So, that would be huge.
That would be huge.
So, you know, check it out.
adam crigler
Well, that's really promising.
tim pool
Alright, we are getting absolutely inundated with superchats, and we're trying to sign off here, guys.

If you really want you can go way back in my career and I did Abercrombie & Fitch.
They used to do like this magazine that it was like the quarterly I think it was called and we didn't wear any clothes and actually it was me Malin Ackerman and Jamie Dornan we were like together for three or for like nine days and we were basically like a couple B-dub says, Lydia Spank?
or truffle. In the shoe? Yeah, in the shoe. Not in real life, no.
B-dub says, Lydia Spank? I was naked. There you go. That was the point I was getting to.
I mean, you don't see anything, but it's pretty funny.
lydia smith
All right.
tim pool
Good chat.

Marines and my grandmother is very upset that Donald Trump keeps saying Chinese virus, China can't be trusted.

Chinese asshole.
tim pool
Elizabeth, did you just swear on the family show?
lydia smith
I don't know what you're talking about.
tim pool
Elizabeth Cyrus says, I pay my kid's allowance that way, but I make him pay taxes by putting 25% into his savings.
He can take loans out on it with an additional 10% interest.
It's working great.
I dig it.
James, oh man, where are we at now?
Well, let me explain it very simply, because in the United States, that doesn't happen for the most part.
Though we do experience a lot of deaths from flu, the complication rate is extremely low, about less than a percent.
The death rate for flu is actually 0.1%, and I've had to read all of this stuff over and over again, it's why I know it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So what ends up happening is, just like in 1918 with the Spanish flu, it's novel, meaning there is no immunity to it, so everyone will get it.
Whereas with the flu, we have bad flu seasons that go all year round, but typically spike at the end of summer into the winter.
So starting the tracking around October, we do see a lot of people getting the flu.
However, because there are limited complications, people typically just stay home and deal with it, though some people die.
Right now, a lot of people are comparing the coronavirus to diseases outside of the US, like tuberculosis and the flu and pneumonia, which of course, in third world countries, are killing a lot of people.
The scary thing is that in Italy, 675 people died in one day, and the day before that was 475.
So we are seeing a lot of people exponentially getting sick and dying faster and faster, and if we do nothing, in one year, we'll look back and say, wow, this really was a lot worse than the flu, if only we did something sooner.
And the problem is, humans are cursed with this Poor hindsight, to where if we actually stop the virus, guess what happens?
We then say, it didn't even happen, who cares?
That's the coronavirus.
adam crigler
Take a deep breath.
lydia smith
That was intense.
tim pool
There you go.
adam crigler
Man, you nailed it though.
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
adam crigler
Killed it.
I'm so happy I didn't have to say any of that.
tim pool
So look, I saw, you know, we did the thing about tuberculosis.
It's like, but a million people died last year of tuberculosis.
Yeah, we had 9,000 tuberculosis cases in the U.S.
unidentified
in 2018.
tim pool
The coronavirus is already over... What do we have now in the U.S.?
16,000 or something?
lydia smith
In the U.S.?
I want to say 16,000.
That does sound right.
tim pool
It's exponentially increasing.
What people don't understand... Yeah, so let's see.
As of the 20th, we're just shy.
We're at 14,000-something.
What people don't understand is that it's a novel virus.
lydia smith
It means new.
tim pool
Everyone will get it.
Not everyone will die, but the mortality rate is between 1% and 3%.
lydia smith
We have no immunity.
tim pool
Globally, it's 3.7, and the Spanish flu was 2.5% mortality.
The Spanish flu was novel, so almost everyone ended up getting it, and it killed a ton of people.
So the issue is, it's crazy that right now people are saying, it hasn't killed that many people yet, why should we be worried about it?
It's like, okay, should we wait until a million are dead and then start worrying about it?
Because then you can't contain it at all.
But actually, you brought up an interesting point earlier.
Old people are the most likely to die, so of course the old people in government are the ones panicking about it.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
But there we go.
Eggman, thanks for becoming a member.
adam crigler
Thank you.

Zappi says, you know Time Infographics put out a video about if Russia and China could invade US.
I am not really worried about a war with either of them, but it obviously wouldn't be a good thing.
adam crigler
Agreed.
tim pool
We have a gun behind every blade of grass in this country, as the saying goes.
Crash said, should be allowed to do what you want.
Then I shouldn't have to pay for your medical bills, for aid meds, and lung transplants.
I completely agree.
I also agree.
That's why I'm not a fan of mandated universal health care.
Public option is fine by me, but what Bernie is saying within four years, you would not be legally allowed to buy private insurance.
Not interested.

Brandon Lynn says, she is mad Trump keeps calling a China virus and doesn't realize how bad China is and I'm a veteran and China's bad.
China's real bad.
Eggman says, why is Greta Thunberg so quiet about this now?
You would think she would be happy with how much pollution is being cut down across the world.
I mean, that was her solution.
adam crigler
It is interesting that she's not in the spotlight anymore.
lydia smith
I had nothing to say about that.
adam crigler
I did see one post from her yesterday saying, like, if you agree with me, make a sign and do a post and whatever, and it's like the only thing in the past few weeks.

adam crigler
Or, or, um, send me a message on Instagram.
That works too.

I might not respond, but I'll see it.
I try to look through and catch anything good, so.

And if you want to join, become members of the show to help support the show, there's a join button just below this video.
Or, if you don't see it, you have to go to youtube.com slash timcastirl slash join, and it should pop up.
YouTube, and this should surprise no one, is kind of bad at what they do, and the whole system is janky and broken, but hey, what are you gonna do about it?
That's how it works.
And then we actually don't have, so this is funny, whenever I post the video to members, YouTube reminds me that there's literally no way to notify members that you've made the post.
So we go to the community section, which is basically like the feed section, the news feed of this channel, and we post it every morning.
It is free if you watch live, and the unlisted feed will be available until about 8 a.m.
You can get that link if you subscribe and hit the notification bell.
With that being said, I'm gonna grab these last two Super Chats and we're gonna sign off.

Right.

Bart says, no, but you compare Italy, that is like one state, with a country that is like whole Europe.
Some of those models are like high school naive.
adam crigler
Yeah, we were talking about that.
tim pool
We talked about that.
adam crigler
Yeah, like, so Italy- The comparison doesn't make sense.
tim pool
Yeah, a lot of the countries in Europe are very dense relative to the states in the United States.
adam crigler
True, but they're also very tiny.
tim pool
But they're relatively small.
Yeah, very small.
And I've met a lot of people in Europe who do the same thing in the other direction.
Assuming their country is the same size as America, because America is one country.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
adam crigler
Or that all Americans are the same.
And I say, OK, so every European is the same?
And they're like, whoa, no, we've got different countries.
I'm like, yeah, America, Europe, it's like the same thing.
tim pool
