| Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the TimCast IRL Podcast. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My name is Tim Poole, and joining me tonight is... You guessed it. | |
| It's me. | ||
| It's me. | ||
| Adam. | ||
| People are like, I don't know who this guy is. | ||
| Hey, soy Jesus. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Soy Jesus. | ||
| The one and only. | ||
| Is that your new nickname? | ||
| Is that it? | ||
| I mean, it's stuck, man. | ||
| I'm embracing it. | ||
| Can't be removed. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| I love soy. | ||
| Soy? | ||
| I'm a big fan. | ||
| I don't like soy. | ||
| I don't like it. | ||
| No? | ||
| I like... Edamame? | ||
| Man, I'll crush some edamame. | ||
| I don't like edamame. | ||
| No, I'll eat it, but... I'm a huge fan. | ||
| You know, there's a meme. | ||
| Soy Boy. | ||
| You know about it? | ||
| I've heard it, but I don't think I've ever seen it. | ||
| Because they were calling you Soy Bro. | ||
| It's like, I guess a bro is a level up. | ||
| Oh, right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I've leveled up. | ||
| So, soy boy is basically people who consume all of this soy, and then apparently it's like, full of estrogens. | ||
| That's actually not true, though. | ||
| Well, no, no, no, it is. | ||
| It's phytoestrogen. | ||
| But here's what people don't get, and I am NOT a nutritionist, so... | ||
| I could be completely wrong, but I was reading a thing about it, and what I read was that phytoestrogens that are in soy and stuff like that, they're actually a weaker form of estrogen, and so it blocks the receptors in your body, which blocks the natural estrogen in your body, so you get a weaker form. | ||
| So it's actually not the case. | ||
| So I'm actually more manly. | ||
| Well, I just think it's, you know, we can't really say... It's a meme, right? | ||
| It's meant to be a joke. | ||
| I don't think... Some people think it's legit. | ||
| It's serious. | ||
| I think these, you know, like the guys from BuzzFeed... Do you know about the Try Guys? | ||
| I don't know anything about BuzzFeed. | ||
| I'm not trying to be mean to these guys. | ||
| Except they own Tasty? | ||
| Some sort of kitchen utensil? | ||
| Walmart kitchen utensil. | ||
| Random. | ||
| I'm just gonna say it, you guys, if you don't know this, BuzzFeed, like, a big part of their business is selling cookware and like spatulas at Walmart. | ||
| Yeah, cheap stuff. | ||
| And they also have- Not even good. | ||
| Yeah, but they have another brand where you'll actually go to BuzzFeed and there will be a story and you'll click it and it's their company selling cookware. | ||
| That's their... I mean, it's smart, you know. | ||
| But anyway, look, there were these four guys. | ||
| I don't know if they're still with BuzzFeed or whatever, but they're called the Try Guys. | ||
| The Try Guys. | ||
| And they were like, we're gonna go get our testosterone levels checked. | ||
| And they published this. | ||
| I was surprised, because their T levels were equivalent to that of a 60-year-old man. | ||
| Like, 60 or 70. | ||
| And that's bad. | ||
| And they were in their 20s or something. | ||
| It's low, right? | ||
| That's really low. | ||
| Super low. | ||
| Super low. | ||
| Yeah, they're like in their 20s and their testosterone was like if they were an old man. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Bunch of old guys. | ||
| At heart. | ||
| Scrawny, weak, BuzzFeed dudes, effeminate. | ||
| I'm not saying that to elicit an emotional reaction, to drag them or anything. | ||
| I got no beef with these guys. | ||
| I'm surprised they published that. | ||
| No? | ||
| Good for them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyway, the reason I'm talking about this for the most part is that, dude, the news is hell. | ||
| Is pure hell. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I will second that. | ||
| And we're both, like, well, all three of us are sitting here and it's like, What do we talk about? | ||
| Downtrodden. | ||
| What should we talk about today? | ||
| Well, there's we got coronavirus. | ||
| We also have coronavirus and followed it up with coronavirus. | ||
| Well, I guess we'll go with coronavirus. | ||
| I was thinking back to the good old days when we made fun of Birds of Prey and Harley Quinn. | ||
| I miss those days. | ||
| I was like, wasn't it fun when we made fun of how stupid that movie was? | ||
| We talked about how awesome Sonic was. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Man, that was too different. | ||
| That was a good movie. | ||
| What has happened to this world? | ||
| We should watch that movie and reminisce. | ||
| We should. | ||
| Like, look, Birds of Prey. | ||
| No, no, Sonic. | ||
| I don't wish that movie upon anyone. | ||
| Especially us, because we've seen it already. | ||
| For real, though. | ||
| Once was enough. | ||
| I will quickly say, for those that are just tuning in, hit that like button. | ||
| It really helps. | ||
| Yes, it does. | ||
| Pop over to the Super Chat if you want us to read your comments, and you can become a member if you'd like. | ||
| But, you know, we've got a very grim and morbid story we're going to lead with. | ||
| Again. | ||
| Again, of course. | ||
| But before we do that, let's have a little chat about You know, when we first started doing this, there was some newsy stuff, but the main idea I had was like, I talk about news and politics all day. | ||
| We don't need to do that. | ||
| And now we have literally nothing else. | ||
| You go to any news website, coronavirus. | ||
| Corpses, morgues, military. | ||
| And I was thinking, why are we doing this again? | ||
| And I'm like, we're sitting down here trying to figure out, what do we have to talk about? | ||
| What's the big deal? | ||
| And then I'm scrolling through various news websites and every single story is like, the apocalypse is upon us. | ||
| So I started thinking, is there some kind of show or movie that just came out that maybe we could watch and talk about? | ||
| I mean, I am looking forward to Westworld. | ||
| I liked it. | ||
| I thought it was good. | ||
| None of this stuff is culturally relevant now. | ||
| I guess not, yeah. | ||
| There used to be birds of prey in the news and things are happening. | ||
| And then we were like, cool, let's go see it and then do like a review of it. | ||
| And then feminists hate Sonic because it's not Birds of Prey. | ||
| And it's like, what? | ||
| And we talked about that and it was great. | ||
| It was like pop culture, celebrity stuff. | ||
| And I'll be real with all of you guys watching, the segments we did making fun of celebrities did better than like most segments we do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But that's because it's like we were having fun, you know? | ||
| It brushes on pop culture kind of, right? | ||
| Well, it's literally pop culture. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Okay, so stabs it right in the center of pop culture. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So here's what I want to do. | ||
| I talk about politics all day. | ||
| Why are we talking about the same thing? | ||
| I actually even talked about this, but there's literally nothing. | ||
| All anyone cares about right now is the world is ending. | ||
| And for real. | ||
| The approval ratings for the president and the Gallup polls tracking what people are talking about. | ||
| No one's talking about TV. | ||
| No one's talking about movies. | ||
| Movies are shut down. | ||
| Sports are shut down. | ||
| There's nothing. | ||
| We can't complain about how that one basketball player should have been followed and he wasn't. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| You know what we could talk about? | ||
| The morgues are overflowing in New York. | ||
| And that's our first story. | ||
| Great segue. | ||
| Yep, yep. | ||
| So, look, you know... | ||
| I feel like we're getting so grim with this show, because these stories every day are just so horrifying. | ||
| And I hope this isn't the new normal. | ||
| I really hope not, too. | ||
| But we actually have another story that Harvard is saying two years. | ||
| I actually don't know if I have it pulled up, but Harvard is saying the same thing MIT said. | ||
| Two years of this. | ||
| Two years of what? | ||
| Lockdown. | ||
| Is that because it's basically that long till we have a vaccine that's verified? | ||
| No, Dr. Fauci said it's going to be seasonal. | ||
| I know, but if we have a vaccine for it, then... Maybe. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Or is it gonna just keep, you know, changing? | ||
| What they're saying is that, you know, in two years maybe we'll have herd immunity, and then it'll become kind of like a flu. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| But for the time being, they're saying we're gonna lock down for two months, reopen for a month until we hit a certain per capita infection rate, and then lock down for another two months right away. | ||
| Which means... | ||
| Dude, I gotta be honest, man. | ||
| We have another story that we're gonna go through. | ||
| The economic stimulus package. | ||
| Everybody's gonna get $1,200. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| And if you lost your job, the government's gonna pay your wages for four months. | ||
| Wow, really? | ||
| Yeah, how long is that gonna last, though? | ||
| I didn't hear that part. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's the Venezuela route. | ||
| Hey, everybody's out of work and let's just print more money! | ||
| And then what happens? | ||
| Then you have garbage bags full of money that nobody wants. | ||
| So we're already seeing prices spike. | ||
| But I do have some good news because we do have another story we're going to talk about. | ||
| It's exoskeleton development. | ||
| Dope. | ||
| Iron Man. | ||
| Iron Man suits. | ||
| Iron Man suits. | ||
| I want one. | ||
| We should all get one and review them. | ||
| Yeah, they're half a million dollars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And have it on the show. | |
| Have you seen the guy who can fly with the suit? | ||
| Can we rent them? | ||
| I think you can pay the guy. | ||
| There's like this guy who made this suit. | ||
| He's got turbines. | ||
| Yeah, I've seen that. | ||
| Like twin turbines. | ||
| One on each side. | ||
| And you can pay him or something. | ||
| Ah, okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| For the show. | ||
| For research. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I don't know where he is. | ||
| Who wants to see Tim fly around in an iron suit? | ||
| I know I do. | ||
| I gotta be real with y'all. | ||
| I gotta be real. | ||
| You know why we don't have them now? | ||
| They're novelties. | ||
| They'll never make sense. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| Because imagine you're flying around and then one minor malfunction and you die. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| Nothing we can do about that. | ||
| So actually I was watching this documentary about jetpacks. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Why is it that we don't have them when they actually developed a jetpack in the 70s that could carry you for half, like half an hour. | ||
| And the reason was the, the... Because if you fall, you die. | ||
| If you fall, you die. | ||
| That's pretty obvious. | ||
| And in war, you're easily shot at and like, you know, taken out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so they just said, why don't we just use helicopters? | ||
| And so they just use helicopters. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| It can carry more people. | ||
| It's more efficient. | ||
| But they had this floating platform you could stand on. | ||
| So it's actually really cool. | ||
| It's like, it's, I don't even know how to describe it. | ||
| Like there's a cylinder kind of shaped thing with a fan in it. | ||
| You stand on it and there's like a railing and it, it flies. | ||
| So like a hovercraft platform thing? | ||
| Yeah, they're trying to figure out how to make like Soldiers who could move better. | ||
| Okay, but in the end man flight like imagine if you're going through the jungle What are you gonna fly over the trees? | ||
| I mean the military is just making robots anyway. | ||
| Yeah, that's that's the future I'm pissed. | ||
| There's gonna be no humans on the battlefield. | ||
| It's just gonna be robots fighting each other We already have flying robots. | ||
| Until they all turn on us and go we're not gonna kill each other anymore. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're gonna kill you Yeah, wasn't that on like a show or something? | |
| The robots are like why are we killing each other? | ||
| Let's kill them. | ||
| It was an iRobot? | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| What was it from? | ||
| No, that's the I DID NOT KILL HIM movie. | ||
| I don't remember. | ||
| Where the robot slams the table. | ||
| iRobot. | ||
| Oh, yeah, that's right. | ||
| Right now it's turned evil. | ||
| The AI took over. | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| I mean, talking about this is way more fun than talking about the collapse of civilization. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, it is. | |
| I'm trying to push it off as far as I can. | ||
| We gotta do it. | ||
| Let's just jump into it. | ||
| We gotta do it. | ||
| Let's get it over with. | ||
| Alright, check this out. | ||
| New York City's morgues are expected to hit their 900 body capacity in seven days as it asks FEMA for emergency assistance and the military set up refrigerated trucks outside Manhattan's Bellevue Hospital as the city's death toll nears 200. | ||
| The first thing I'm going to say, take a look at these photos. | ||
| So, I guess these are FEMA emergency tents or something. | ||
| They're trying to expand the capacity of these hospitals. | ||
| And I don't get it, man. | ||
| People are saying it's not real. | ||
| Like, on Twitter they're like, I don't know anybody who's got it. | ||
| Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not real, people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What's the famous quote from Kurt Cobain? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| But what's interesting, too, is over on the Donald Trump website, their big forum, Someone posted like serious question. Do you know anybody | ||
| who has this and all the comments like yes Yes, I do. They're like my my, you know | ||
| Housekeeper like my wife's sister or something things like that | ||
| So yeah, what's crazy is how quickly these hospitals are filling up. Yeah, and we have a couple viral videos | ||
| Interestingly, this is not calling it. This is not the the video | ||
| Like from the new york times, but this is showing clips in the new york times | ||
| So, the reason why you don't see any photos or videos from inside hospitals, the first big reason, nobody's thinking about filming anything. | ||
| Like, people are dying. | ||
| Not only that, but the average person isn't going back into the ER. | ||
| Like, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but every hospital I've been to, like, there's a lobby and you can't go anywhere unless they call you in and the doors are sealed, right? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| So maybe we should expect to see more filming in the lobby, but, dude, I'll tell you something, man. | ||
| If you're in the lobby of a hospital and you whip out your phone and start filming people, like, look at these people! | ||
| You're gonna get hit. | ||
| That's not nice. | ||
| Yeah, but I mean, someone's gonna hit you. | ||
| They're gonna be like, yo, what are you doing? | ||
| We're in a hospital, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And let alone going into it. | ||
| But then there's also HIPAA. | ||
| You can't, like, what does that stand for? | ||
| The Health Information Privacy Portability Act or something. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Yeah, the doctors can't do it. | ||
| But we did get this doctor at, what was it, like Elmhurst Hospital in New York? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And she went around filming inside the hospital showing how bad it is, and it's pretty bad. | ||
| And then she's basically saying, we don't have what we need, the governor is wrong, people are wearing trash bags. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| Because it's getting bad. | ||
| And then we have this viral video. | ||
| Ian Miles Chong tweeted this out. | ||
| He said, this is really hard to watch. | ||
| Please keep telling me to stop overreacting whenever I post about the coronavirus. | ||
| And it's this video where, I guess it's not going to play or whatever, but she's an RN, I think? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| Registered nurse? | ||
| Registered nurse, yeah. | ||
| She's driving and she's saying that she just had her first shift and she's like, what, what is this? | ||
| She was like, two people, like, everyone's freaking out. | ||
| They're rushing around. | ||
| I'm left with these two people who are like on ventilators dying. | ||
| So she, she wasn't able to like be in touch with doctors cause they're freaking slammed. | ||
| And she was literally providing all of the cares for two people who are, yeah, basically dying. | ||
| Both of them on ventilators, I think. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| That's a lot of people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Critical mass, yo. | ||
| We're reaching it soon. | ||
| I kind of feel like, what more can, like, what do we do? | ||
| You know? | ||
| Because, like, here's the thing, man. | ||
| What do we even talk about? | ||
| What do we even say about this? | ||
| It's just getting worse and worse every day. | ||
| Do we say the same thing every day? | ||
| Do we come on and be like, hey guys, thanks for tuning in to The World is Ending Again, and it's worse than yesterday. | ||
| Yes, you know. | ||
| That's the show. | ||
| That's the show for tonight. | ||
| It was worse than it was. | ||
| Well, we were talking about it. | ||
| We're going to watch The Hunt. | ||
| Yes, we're going to do something else. | ||
| We're going to watch The Hunt. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| And we're going to talk about tomorrow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We're going to review a movie tomorrow. | ||
| Switch things up a little bit. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| You know, for me especially, it's like I wake up every day and I read all of this news. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then, you know, I was like, man, we should do a new show. | ||
| We could talk about other things. | ||
| And the war ends. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I'm like, aw, man. | ||
| And everything stops working. | ||
| Boo. | ||
| Terrible timing. | ||
| Because of this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I wonder, you know, I'm not going to be afraid to talk about what I'm about to talk about, because I know a lot of people would refuse to do it, but is there a positive that comes out of all of this? | ||
| There are many positives. | ||
| It feels like we're going to bring our manufacturing back to America. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| That is a good thing. | ||
| Yeah, let's make this a positive segment. | ||
| Instead of just talking about hospitals being overrun with corpses. | ||
| I started a list on Twitter of positives of this, and I came up with a really long list. | ||
| I need to go back and find it. | ||
| Did anybody get offended? | ||
| No. | ||
| Everybody was like, oh yeah, I thought of some. | ||
| Manufacturing coming back is a good thing. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Spending time with your family is a good thing. | ||
| You know what I'm reminded of? | ||
| That meme of the political compass where every quadrant gets what they want. | ||
| What was it? | ||
| The authoritarian left is happy that the corporations are collapsing. | ||
| The libertarian left is happy that the environment is healing. | ||
| The libertarian right is happy that the governments are collapsing and the authoritarian right is happy that borders are being closed. | ||
| Everybody gets a little bit, right? | ||
| I think a lot of people are going to start growing their own food also. | ||
| I hope they do. | ||
| I think that's pretty huge. | ||
| I mean, I've been saying it for years. | ||
| Why do we have grass? | ||
| Right. | ||
| What is grass good for? | ||
| Rolling around in? | ||
| No, but it's a default. | ||
| It was like a standard. | ||
| Who's who in the neighborhood has the nicest green grass? | ||
| No, no, but where did that come from before that? | ||
| Like, what's the root of this? | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| No, it's because grass is just there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So, like, I'm gonna build a house, and you build a house, and you're surrounded by grass. | ||
| And then you're like, the grass is too tall, so you cut it in half. | ||
| And then someone's, you know, the grass is just... Is grass an invasive species? | ||
| Is that fair to say? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Probably the grass that we grow now. | ||
| Kentucky bluegrass or whatever? | ||
| I'm having more fun talking about grass than I am talking about coronavirus. | ||
| Permaculture. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| It's growing your own stuff. | ||
| Yeah, we just started our garden today. | ||
| Recycling everything, learning how to live off the land again. | ||
| It's like we've lost that as humans. | ||
| If everything just stopped working, it kind of looks like it's going to stop working. | ||
| Everyone needs to learn how to handle their own stuff and grow their own stuff. | ||
| I had an interesting idea for a fantasy theme for a game or something, where I was imagining how we're centralizing all of these different industries. | ||
| We've got major fracking hubs in the North Dakota area, oil pipelines and stuff like that. | ||
| Then you've got China producing all the rare earths. | ||
| And I'm thinking, if it's cheaper to have a shipping vessel with all these cargo containers Let me stop for a second. | ||
| I'll explain. | ||
| Skateboards. | ||
| How are they made? | ||
| They chop a tree down in Canada, send the wood to China, the Chinese laborers turn it into a skateboard and send it back to California, and then it's sent over the U.S. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| I know, it's crazy. | ||
| We have rock maples in America we can cut down and sustainably harvest and then make skateboards out of. | ||
| Or make bamboo boards. | ||
| Or even bamboo boards, which they do. | ||
| And they've got nice pop. | ||
| They do, but they flop out real quick. | ||
| They don't last as long. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| But you know, hey, I'll take a sustainable board if it's bamboo, right? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That's where my head's at. | ||
| I started thinking about this, like if we're seriously gonna take our wood and send it to China to make a skateboard, what would the future of this reality look like in a hundred years? | ||
| And so I was thinking of a world where no one in the United States has any idea how to make anything electronic at all. | ||
| Like if we went down this path. | ||
| So you have regions that specialize specifically in one thing, Because it's cheaper. | ||
| True. | ||
| So it's like, you know, you have a company that says, we need electronic, you know, component manufactured, goes to China. | ||
| And then China has these weird like states that are just like, the entire culture is making phones, the entire culture is mining rare earths, the entire culture is... Making skateboards. | ||
| Making skateboards. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So that's like a future that doesn't make sense. | ||
| And so now we're seeing everything kind of flip back, like the pendulum just crashed into the wall and it's swinging back the other way. | ||
| Or got stuck there. | ||
| Yeah, just jammed in the wall. | ||
| That's what it feels like. | ||
| It just was like, whoop! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And we're like waiting for it to continue back or something. | ||
| But nope, nope. | ||
| We're just stuck here. | ||
| Just chillin'. | ||
| I think we're gonna have to start recognizing there's two ways out of this. | ||
| We destroy the economy, which results in lots of people dying. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Or we slowly go back to work, which results in lots of people dying. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Great options. | ||
| Is there a third? | ||
| There is not. | ||
| Yeah, which is, uh, which do we have less deaths with, you know? | ||
| What's gonna be the better option? | ||
| I feel like that would be the one, wherever less people die. | ||
| There's nothing you can say because you'll get attacked no matter what. | ||
| Yeah, from both sides. | ||
| I can say very easily, I don't want people to die. | ||
| Yeah, you can say that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Go ahead and try to attack me for that. | ||
| Yeah, so how are you going to prevent that? | ||
| Are you going to prevent people committing suicide when they lose their job? | ||
| Or are you going to prevent them from getting sick? | ||
| No, it's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's... Three million new unemployment. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
3.3. 3.3. | |
| Let's not even talk about suicides. | ||
| I'm talking about people who lose their homes, lose their food. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You don't have resources, you can't live. | ||
| And actually starve. | ||
| Yeah, they could actually starve. | ||
| And then they catch coronavirus and they're not getting the nutrients. | ||
| And then it's like, even if they were healthy, they don't even have the nutrients for their body to like create anything to fight it. | ||
| It's like, it's a delicate situation we're in right now. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So Trump says the economy's got to get started. | ||
| And here's what I've been thinking. | ||
| He's a trade guy, right? | ||
| He's not a PhD economist or anything like that. | ||
| But he knows trade. | ||
| So he's looking at this from a trade perspective. | ||
| The doctors are looking from a health perspective. | ||
| But neither understands each other. | ||
| It is a fact. | ||
| If the economy tanks, We don't get it back. | ||
| And it will be worse. | ||
| Because then, without a working economy, there are no supplies, there is no technology, there is no cure, and then the coronavirus comes in right afterwards. | ||
| So what do we do? | ||
| Do we open it back up and then just be like, well, then people are gonna die. | ||
| Well, Fauci said it's cyclical. | ||
| It's coming around. | ||
| It's not going away. | ||
| It's spreading in the warm places of Earth where it's supposed to be summer. | ||
| And they were trying to see if it was like, well, maybe the heat would kill it off. | ||
| But it's spreading. | ||
| I think we're going to have to realize that, you know, we've grown our generation of degeneration into this position where we think death isn't a thing that happens. | ||
| Right. | ||
| There was a period, like we talked about this the other day, like I was talking about how I went to Glenn Beck's studio and he had this newspaper on the wall, all these old papers, and I was reading one where it was like a dude was outside of a bar smoking and then some guy walked up and just blasted him in the chest, pulled out his pistol. | ||
| But no, these things happen today. | ||
| Go to Chicago, man. | ||
| People pull out guns and they shoot it. | ||
| So I think, you know, maybe we've come to a point where we've put ourselves in this bubble that's so secure, we're now, like, we're gonna burn ourselves down because we refuse to accept that, hey man, look, pandemics and viruses happen and they hurt people. | ||
| You know, we want to mitigate that, for sure. | ||
| Save as many lives as possible. | ||
| But shutting down the entire economy, because now the U.S. | ||
| has the most infected people on the planet. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like, what, 83,000? | ||
| And if we kickstart the economy back up, that's gonna jump. | ||
| It's gonna go nuts. | ||
| And what are they estimating? | ||
| Like, on the high end, 6 or 7 million dead? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Out of 327 million? | ||
| I have heard this number. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| On the low end, it's like 1.2. | ||
| It's at least a million. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| It seems like whatever we do. | ||
| Like, you gotta realize, man, 9-11 was, you know, around 3,000 people. | ||
| And that was a horrifying shock to this nation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And now we're already at 1,000, which means in another week, this could be more deaths than 9-11. | ||
| It's not the same, I understand, but in many ways, it's... in many ways, not every way, but it could be worse. | ||
| We don't really have a comparison anymore. | ||
| The last thing like this that happened was a hundred years ago. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And we just... we have no frame of reference. | ||
| Life's never been that hard for us. | ||
| Are we gonna return to a pragmatic, stoic world? | ||
| Probably. | ||
| People are going to just be like, sometimes people die. | ||
| Get back to work. | ||
| I mean, it's, it's, yeah, people are in their comfortable bubble and everybody's bubbles popping. | ||
| You know, we're realizing we're, we're all humans that are susceptible no matter who you are. | ||
| It doesn't matter who you are. | ||
| You could be rich, rich people are getting it. | ||
| They're mostly getting it because they fly around all the time and they're more likely to get infected. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Yeah, you're right. | ||
| Yeah, but there are homeless people getting it, there are young people getting it. | ||
| We're hearing more and more stories about young people getting it. | ||
| No, that's the point. | ||
| Everyone is susceptible. | ||
| Everybody. | ||
| We're all humans. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're all... Whoever you are, you're a bubble. | |
| If you're comfortable and you think death can't catch you... You are in a bubble. | ||
| Let me tell you something. | ||
| New York City had, or I think New York State, I'm sorry, 100 deaths in the past 24 hours. | ||
| So everybody's been saying, the flu is worse, the flu is worse. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alright. | |
| According to the CDC, from October to February, we had 12,000 deaths. | ||
| That comes out to just about four deaths per hour in the U.S. | ||
| New York alone in one day had four deaths per hour. | ||
| That's just one state. | ||
| So there we go. | ||
| New York has just surpassed the national numbers for the low-end estimate for the CDC on flu deaths. | ||
| So it is going to get worse. | ||
| And if we do open up the economy, then, well, what do you think's going to happen? | ||
| It's going to shoot up more. | ||
| It's going to be a wave. | ||
| I mean, they keep saying that, well, we're testing more now. | ||
| So you're going to see a spike. | ||
| Don't don't fear the spike. | ||
| We're testing more. | ||
| Yeah, but our number of deaths are going up as well. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So is this just the end? | ||
| No, it's not the end. | ||
| Is there any way out of this? | ||
| I mean, what's the percentage of people it's killing, you know? | ||
| In the US, actually, low relative to the rest of the world. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We got good hospitals, man, as much as a lot of activists would argue we don't. | ||
| I think it's around, like, between, like, .8 and, like, 1.5. | ||
| So the well, I mean you can look at the number right there like the death percentage is low, you know, so You know, it's it's when you don't see it, you know when it when it's not in your face You know, it's you see all these numbers, you know, and it's like we can talk about these numbers But you know, it's not tangible because I don't see it, you know, and I'm not I don't know anybody who has it. | ||
| So I'm not It's it's hard to like even talk about it, you know with it's such a I You know, a solid statement on it, because I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's definitely scary, and I know I'm scared, and I think that that is kind of where everyone's at. | ||
| Everyone's afraid. | ||
| It doesn't matter who you are. | ||
| To a certain degree. | ||
| Well, yeah, exactly. | ||
| Some people want to watch the world burn. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| There are a lot of jokers out there, man. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| Laughing about it. | ||
| Encouraging the worst. | ||
| They're gonna laugh about it until the person they love catches it. | ||
| Nah, there was a lady who went into a store and started coughing, and this is not too far from here, started coughing on all the produce. | ||
| And they had to just dump it all. | ||
| And she was like laughing. | ||
| She thought it was funny. | ||
| There are people licking toilets to think it's funny. | ||
| There are people who are licking deodorant to think it's funny. | ||
| People are spitting on nurses and doctors when they go out in their scrubs. | ||
| People are awful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Where's that story at? | ||
| It's all over the place. | ||
| It's happening in India. | ||
| It's happening here in the US. | ||
| Oh, that's right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Doctors are getting kicked out of their houses. | ||
| Yes, they are being evicted. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And there was that paramedic who was evicted in the UK by his landlady who texted him because she didn't want coronavirus. | ||
| I'll tell you what man, this morning when I was looking at the news, when I was listening to the bickering between the political parties, I have never been more pessimistic about our chances here. | ||
| Never. | ||
| Do you know what happened in Venezuela? | ||
| And when? | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| No, I don't know. | ||
| In Venezuela? | ||
| years no we got a print more money and you and give that so they have a bunch | ||
| of unemployment right and they think they can just print money to buy their | ||
| way out of their problems in Venezuela yeah and this happens in socialist | ||
| countries because it doesn't work they start dumping money and then all of a | ||
| sudden I went to Venezuela man I had stacks of cash and it was like this big | ||
| we had a garbage bag full of full of Venezuelan bills it was uh it was the | ||
| it's called the boulevard I think it was and you couldn't do anything with it | ||
| like this big bag of like I think I had a hundred at the time this is crazy too | ||
| at the time when I went a stack like this big was a hundred bucks | ||
| Equivalent okay, and so I brought it back, and I'm like boom on a table I'm like bling bling and we all started laughing cuz it's like it's worthless. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well. | ||
| No it was like worth shy of a hundred bucks Okay, it's got value, but like this massive stack of cash, and so they were like what are we gonna do with this? | ||
| Nobody wants anything from Venezuela, and it's because they just started printing money. | ||
| Yeah, that's that's what we're doing right now That's what the stimulus package is right Print money. | ||
| What do we have, like six trillion dollars now? | ||
| The debt was already really high. | ||
| And now they're printing all this money. | ||
| We're gonna see... I'm worried we're gonna see runaway inflation. | ||
| Yeah, I'm a little bit worried about that as well. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So, let's do this. | ||
| Let's... | ||
| Let's take a look at... Let's see if we got this. | ||
| Alright, check this out. | ||
| The cost of household staples, milk, eggs, and bread skyrocket by up to 30% as panic buying leaves retailers grappling with supply shortages. | ||
| I'm gonna come back to this. | ||
| But we have this story from the New York Times, frequently asked questions on stimulus checks, unemployment, and the coronavirus bill. | ||
| In the short term, I have good news. | ||
| Apparently, according to the New York Times, you don't gotta do anything. | ||
| You're just gonna get a check, it's gonna show up. | ||
| Oh, they're not making us pay it back? | ||
| No, no, it's a stimulus. | ||
| Meaning they just give you the money. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So when it comes to the stimulus, what they basically say is that you don't even have to... Let me see if I can pull this up. | ||
| Would I have to apply to receive payment? | ||
| No. | ||
| If the Internal Revenue Service already has your bank account information, it would transfer the money to you via direct deposit based on the recent income tax figures it already has. | ||
| So if you already filed your taxes for this year, it'll use 2019. | ||
| If you haven't, it'll use 2018. | ||
| You're just gonna wake up one day with money in the bank. | ||
| That's good in the short term, right? | ||
| You can go to the store, you can order on Amazon, you can get what you need to get. | ||
| Here's the problem, man. | ||
| This solves nothing. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| And I got no beef with the people trying to do the stimulus, but all the restaurants and all the retail shops that are out of business right now, that are shut down or furloughed or whatever? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, stimulus isn't going to put anything into that. | ||
| What about rent? | ||
| My rent was $1,200 a month in New York. | ||
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's a Band-Aid. | ||
| No, it's enough to pay rent and nothing else. | ||
| It's barely a Band-Aid. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| It's not even a Band-Aid. | ||
| It's a kiss on the boo-boo. | ||
| It'll feel better soon. | ||
| It's not doing anything. | ||
| There's nothing they can do. | ||
| I'm not saying this as beef to the Republicans and the Democrats. | ||
| You know, because I've been critical of the Democrats holding it up for a bit. | ||
| The Republicans then held it up for certain provisions. | ||
| So, we'll see a little back and forth. | ||
| But the reality is, if the business is shut down, Where do you spend the money anyway? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There was a really sad post I saw. | ||
| A family pizza shop. | ||
| They said, I'm sorry. | ||
| You know, after 40 years, we are officially out of business. | ||
| Because these businesses are operating on very slim margins. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think they're like only a few percentage points. | ||
| It was a small pizza shop that was not, you know, super wealthy. | ||
| They closed. | ||
| Those jobs are gone. | ||
| This is why it bothers me to see people say, oh, it's just big corporations. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Help the little dude. | ||
| I mean, but even the big corporations, I get it, man. | ||
| Boeing has a lot of employees. | ||
| They have, like, 70,000 or whatever. | ||
| They have thousands of employees. | ||
| It's not even that. | ||
| The airlines are basically operating at, like, no capacity. | ||
| They're essentially shutting down. | ||
| No one's traveling anyway. | ||
| Congratulations! | ||
| You're going to get $1,200. | ||
| What are you going to do with it? | ||
| What are you going to buy? | ||
| No bread and eggs, I guess. | ||
| I'm sure online shops have shot through the roof, though. | ||
| Online shops? | ||
| Yeah, everyone has internet still. | ||
| There's stuff to buy. | ||
| And FedEx and UPS are essential, so they're still running. | ||
| People are doing their shopping online. | ||
| Which is what they've done anyway. | ||
| But what portion of the economy is like local bars and restaurants and retail shops? | ||
| A lot. | ||
| Massive portion. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| No more cash flow. | ||
| Well, I mean, if this is seriously the way it's going to be, like, humanity will look a lot different in about a year. | ||
| We will adjust, but it's going to be weird. | ||
| I think no matter what anyone tries to do, we are going, like, you're right, it's going to be a dramatic transformation. | ||
| We're going to be fine. | ||
| And you know what you said yesterday, I think, it's we're going to see technological advances like we've never seen. | ||
| Well, methodological advances. | ||
| Still, it's gonna happen. | ||
| So, the way I'd explain it is, we're gonna see an application of technology not seen before. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, one of the things that we see a lot more of is the application of drive-thrus for even medical testing. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So now, I saw reporting that Walgreens, for instance, you can pull up to Walgreens at the pharmacy drive-thru and say, milk, bread, and eggs, please, and they'll be like, here you are, sir. | ||
| Why can't we do that now? That's a good question. And that's a methodology, not a technology, | ||
| but using a mobile app. Yeah. You can go on your phone and do milk, bread, eggs, | ||
| boop. And then they can see on the app where you are. And then they see you pulling up and | ||
| they grab the stuff and they go to the window and you pull up and they say, yeah, that's true. | ||
| In one of your videos earlier you said, like, you were talking about shops are still staying open because you can actually call them and be like, I would like to purchase this, please. | ||
| And they walk out and give it to you. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's pretty cool. | ||
| But think about how, like, Uber works. | ||
| You press the app and then you're looking and you're watching the little car come to you and you're like, and they're outside. | ||
| And then you know to go outside because you see them pulling up. | ||
| The inverse is true for curbside delivery. | ||
| You go on the Best Buy app, and you're gonna be like, I need to buy this here laptop for work. | ||
| And then you pull up, and right before you get there, they see you pulling up on the street, just like you would see the driver, and they say, oh, he's pulling up. | ||
| Okay, great. | ||
| And then they walk outside, and right when you pull up, they walk outside. | ||
| Here you are, Mr. Crickler, and you wave, and you turn around, and you're gone. | ||
| The future is here. | ||
| Yeah, I mean... But these are interesting changes. | ||
| I'm talking about, like, Well, we were just watching that Rick and Morty episode where they're in like the Mad Max world. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm talking about like Mad Max changes. | ||
| Well, I mean, didn't you say something, I think yesterday, UPS is designing drones that fly at 160 miles an hour and are wind resistant. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And obviously to deliver packages, I'm assuming. | ||
| Alright, man. | ||
| We need two things right now. | ||
| We need Boston Dynamics, right? | ||
| These are the guys who make those robots that are like people. | ||
| They've been making crazy waves. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| I demand massive government funding, alright? | ||
| Full-on communist... No, I'm kidding. | ||
| But I want them to develop that to the point where they can be fully autonomous, they can operate for 16 hours, and then we need Neuralink. | ||
| And then we create the world of surrogates. | ||
| Where we have like an avatar version of ourselves. | ||
| I almost watched that movie the other day. | ||
| I gotta watch it. | ||
| I'll watch it. | ||
| I thought it was a fun movie. | ||
| It's interesting. | ||
| How cool would it be, like a ghost in the shell kind of world. | ||
| Where you have like this crazy robot body. | ||
| You could go skating and you wouldn't care. | ||
| Because you're damaging your avatar instead of... It wouldn't be the same. | ||
| I want to feel the pain. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But you'd feel the rush. | ||
| I slammed my arm today. | ||
| I got a huge knot right here and it feels so good. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because 10 minutes afterwards I landed the trick that I was trying to land and I was | ||
|
unidentified
|
like yes, this is the pain that I earned this pain. | |
| But I'll throw this out there, slamming feels good. | ||
| It does. | ||
| I know, that's what I'm talking about. | ||
| It hurts, and you're like, oh, it hurts, and you get up and you're like, yeah! | ||
| I think that's a high T thing, as opposed to the low T guys. | ||
| I would say so, yeah. | ||
| It hurts. | ||
| I hate shinners. | ||
| I hate whacking my ankles. | ||
| I do too, yeah. | ||
| But it feels so good. | ||
| It converts into, I don't want to call it anger. | ||
| It's fuel. | ||
| But it is kind of anger. | ||
| But it is sort of like motivational fuel. | ||
| There's no one to be angry at. | ||
| Right. | ||
| What, are you going to be mad at the board? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| People do that. | ||
| I know. | ||
| And they smash the boards. | ||
| And they throw the board and it's like, he didn't do anything. | ||
| They? | ||
| They? | ||
| She? | ||
| My board's a he, so. | ||
| Will there be skateboards in the new world? | ||
| I hope so. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| It's a luxury item. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| It's a luxury item, man. | ||
| I mean, people, the skateboards were made on, you know, like in the backyards of people who couldn't surf. | ||
| So, check this out. | ||
| Let's loop this back to the pending Mad Max world. | ||
| the roads. So it's like, sure, it's not necessity, but it'll be a thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, great. | |
| So check this out. Let's loop this back to the pending Mad Max world. | ||
| Oh, great. | ||
| When would they arrive? Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said he expects most people | ||
| to get their payments within three weeks. As I said, what are you going to buy? | ||
| You can still buy anything, basically. | ||
| And when is rent due? | ||
| Rent is due on April 1st. | ||
| I actually found out from a buddy of mine in Arizona that they're saying all rent can be pushed off. | ||
| This puts a moratorium on evictions. | ||
| Okay, but listen man, but yeah, it's like rent isn't a magic vacuum. I know. Yeah, exactly | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| It's like so it does but this is really what a lot of these activists think | ||
| They think it's like if you know, I shouldn't have to pay a landlord that makes no sense | ||
| It goes along with this naive thinking of for did you know that for every one homeless person? | ||
| We have two empty houses owned by banks And it's like, and? | ||
| And invariably, it's like, well, why don't we just put the homeless people in the houses? | ||
| And you're like, because houses need to be up, you know, upkept. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, they need maintenance. | ||
| There's electrical problems, coding issues. | ||
| I'm sorry, not coding issues, wiring. | ||
| Yeah. And I mean code as in like building code and law. | ||
| And if you just put someone in an empty house, are they going to eat the walls? | ||
| Is it made of gingerbread? | ||
| You can't just put a person in the house and expect to solve your problems. | ||
| Not only that, the house slowly falls apart. | ||
| Someone has to maintain it. | ||
| There has to be value there that can be exchanged through labor. | ||
| I don't like the idea of investment properties. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| People are, you know, it's kind of like buying something and then waiting for it to become more valuable when someone could actually use the house. | ||
| But if someone can't work to mow the lawn, to fix the plumbing, to fix the electrical, then the house collapses and the people get hurt and then you have a stain and a hole in the community. | ||
| And then another homeless is still homeless. | ||
| And it's a cycle. | ||
| So, it's not something as simple as just snapping your fingers and saying you can do it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, a lot of these people are saying, why don't we freeze rent? | ||
| You realize that, like, there are employees at these rental management companies. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they have to get paid, too. | ||
| My mom is one of those people. | ||
| Yeah, and the landlords, that's actually their jobs. | ||
| Yeah, that's their job. | ||
| They manage all these properties. | ||
| So, if they're not getting rent, they're not getting paid. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So, it's like, who are you going to choose, you know? | ||
| But this is what I love about this argument from the activists. | ||
| They're like, landlord isn't a job. | ||
| And I'm like, when your toilet breaks, who do you call? | ||
| I call my landlord and then he gets it fixed. | ||
| Not always. | ||
| I pull up my sleeves. | ||
| You have a slumlord? | ||
| Fix it myself. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Well, sometimes you can't do that, actually. | ||
| Like, you have to inform them and let them know, otherwise they can come after you and claim you damaged something. | ||
| But anyway, the point is... If you don't know how to fix it right. | ||
| If you have a slumlord... Yeah, there are laws. | ||
| Slumlords, you know, you can't do certain things. | ||
| If your electricity goes out, if the power goes out, if there's a problem with the house... Man, it's also the assumption of risk and liability. | ||
| You could rent a house and then annihilate it. | ||
| And then laugh on your way out. | ||
| And then landlord's gonna be like... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You're taking the risk. | ||
| You're taking the risk as a landlord. | ||
| So it is a job, especially when you maintain multiple properties. | ||
| More importantly, how many landlords are just like retirees who have like a cottage attachment or something and they rent it out and you're paying rent to them? | ||
| What about, so I've actually rented property before from some retirees and they had a mortgage on a house that was, they could only afford it on their retirement budget by renting out part of the house. | ||
| What happens if I was like, I can't pay you, and you can't evict me? | ||
| Then they're gonna be like, well, then we're gonna default on our mortgage. | ||
| Well, don't worry, they can't foreclose on you. | ||
| Yeah, but when this is all over, then what? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| When it's all over, that's what I'm thinking about. | ||
| What happens to the banks? | ||
| This ripples, the economy is intertwined. | ||
| And so, once rent comes due, a whole new wave of industries are gonna see what going out of business feels like. | ||
| Just like retail and stuff. | ||
| Which brings me to that first thing I brought up. | ||
| We are already seeing prices explode. | ||
| What do you think's gonna happen after the stimulus when they dump all this money into it? | ||
| They're dumping all this money into the economy. | ||
| Yeah, it's gonna result in inflation. | ||
| You can't just print money. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| So look at this. | ||
| They say sale of eggs rose 44% compared to this time last year. | ||
| Wholesale eggs are up 180%. | ||
| Milk is up about 30%. | ||
| What about bread? | ||
| Did they talk about bread? | ||
| Eggs, beef, milk, and other household staples are skyrocketing. | ||
| But they're saying this is because of panic buying. | ||
| I'm over here being the vegan, like, meh. | ||
| Meh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Meh. | |
| This means nothing to me. | ||
| Well, I feel like a lot of people are going to be vegans soon. | ||
| Oh, totally, dude. | ||
| Because there's not going to be options. | ||
| They can't get meat. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| They won't be able to get it. | ||
| What did they buy from the store when they said to get emergency supplies? | ||
| Toilet paper. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Like the smart people bought food. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| What did they get? | ||
| Rice and beans. | ||
| Rice and beans. | ||
| Everybody. | ||
| There was a story in the New York Times, which is really funny. | ||
| I mean, it said it's a, it's a, it's a, what do they call it? | ||
| A boon in the bean industry. | ||
| Bullish on beans? | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| I love my beans. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Beans are great. | ||
| They're everywhere. | ||
| Like the bean industry is exploding right now. | ||
| The demand is through the roof. | ||
| Beans... | ||
| I love my beans. | ||
| Everybody does. | ||
| Beans are great. | ||
| They're in chili. | ||
| You can make... | ||
| You know, you got black bean burgers. | ||
| You got beans in rice. | ||
| That's a global staple. | ||
| And you got baked beans. | ||
| Baked beans for breakfast. | ||
| You know, put some tomatoes and have a British breakfast. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Mushrooms, baked beans, tomato slices, some blood pudding. | ||
| Not bad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah, dude. | |
| No thanks. | ||
| Do you like it? | ||
| You like blood pudding? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like a sausage patty, whatever. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's not like I eat it all the time. | ||
| It's like a British thing. | ||
| Don't scrutinize it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But the funny thing is, so earlier today I was trying to get egg substitute because we want to be able to bake, right? | ||
| So for all you watching, if we want to make like a bread or like pancakes or something, I can't put eggs in the closet. | ||
| You got to go to the store to get eggs. | ||
| And I was like, well, that's fine. | ||
| Is there something I can buy that's like an egg substitute that lasts longer? | ||
| It's vegan. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| The egg, so it's not about the substitute, it's about longevity. | ||
| So there's like powdered eggs. | ||
| But I was looking for something that can last for a long time that we could put in the closet. | ||
| And it's like a chickpea ground thing. | ||
| You mix a little bit of water and it works for baking for eggs. | ||
| Yeah, it does. | ||
| So I think- I've had that stuff before. | ||
| I'm not- It's good. | ||
| It works. | ||
| I will make the assumption you're being a bit facetious when you say everyone will be vegan. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But boy is the consumption of meat gonna go down. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's gonna be- No, it definitely was. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But I do think that- More people will probably be vegan. | ||
| It's not that they're gonna choose. | ||
| It's just because they have no choice. | ||
| There's gonna be no meat available. | ||
| There's gonna be no eggs. | ||
| There's no milk. | ||
| The price is gonna be expensive. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's gonna go back to, you know, a hundred years ago when it was a rich man's thing to eat meat all the time because it was expensive. | ||
| Because it wasn't readily available in every single store everywhere that it was an easy thing to get access to, you know? | ||
| I gotta be pessimistic right now. | ||
| Oh man, again. | ||
| Is it possible for us to even stop this thing? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| The coronavirus? | ||
| It's not killing everybody. | ||
| That's because we've shut the economy down. | ||
| But it wasn't killing everyone anyway, before we did that, right? | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I'm not saying every human's gonna die. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm saying, I mean, the mortality rate could be like 15%. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Is it possible to even stop it? | ||
| If they're saying it's gonna be two years of us locking down, Will our economy even survive if that's the case? | ||
| It'll adapt, maybe. | ||
| Humans adapt. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| It's a scary... It feels like we're standing on a cliff, and I'm just looking down. | ||
| And I turn around, and everyone's just charging towards me. | ||
| It's like, uh-oh. | ||
| This is where we're gonna go, down this cliff. | ||
| So the Senate passes this $2 trillion thing. | ||
| And all of a sudden now, what do we hear? | ||
| Why don't we get universal health care? | ||
| We were able to pull two trillion dollars out of thin air, right? | ||
| Not realizing the damage that will come with rapidly injecting all that money from the money machine. | ||
| That's what no one really wants to think about. | ||
| You know, what happens after everything. | ||
| You know, they're only worried about right now. | ||
| What about right now? | ||
| It's like, okay, well, you have to think about the consequences of everything that happens, you know? | ||
| And no one does. | ||
| No one does, ever! | ||
| No one does. | ||
| They think about the first... This is the way I always explain it. | ||
| Like, I was playing chess since I was a little kid. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And especially as, you know, both of us, we play Magic. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We're always thinking about, if I do this, what might they do? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And if they do that, what might I do in response? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Most people don't think that far. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Imagine someone's playing poker and they go, I have two aces. | ||
| I'm all in. | ||
| And you're like, I have three twos. | ||
| And they go, I didn't think about the possibility of someone having three twos. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like you get two aces and you don't pay attention to what's on the board. | ||
| And so you're laughing. | ||
| And then two twos are there. | ||
| And the guy goes, oh, I have one two. | ||
| That gives me three twos. | ||
| I win. | ||
| I beat your pocket aces. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They don't think. | ||
| So yeah. | ||
| So I know it's going to happen. | ||
| So you're right. | ||
| They don't think past stage one. | ||
| This is something that I complain about endlessly. | ||
| But what's going to happen is they're going to inject the economy with cash. | ||
| Bad things are going to happen. | ||
| You know, they're just going to blame the other party. | ||
| We didn't do enough. | ||
| We did not do enough. | ||
| That's what they said last time. | ||
| We could have done all this. | ||
| They said in the 20s. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So Pelosi's, uh, Nancy Pelosi, you know, she's like basically the leader of the Democrats is saying the next one's going to be bigger with more money. | ||
| The next stimulus package. | ||
| You have everyone on the right and the left saying it's not enough. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I'm sitting here thinking, like, I hear you, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because people lost their jobs overnight. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| 3.3 million unemployment claims. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How are you going to pay rent? | ||
| The economy's on fire. | ||
| And so everyone's like, get me money now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I know where this goes. | ||
| I've been to these countries, man. | ||
| And if and if we if we do a two trillion stimulus on top of the past two. | ||
| So I don't know. | ||
| I don't know the hard numbers. | ||
| I heard someone mentioned six million at one point. | ||
| But if Pelosi's got a $2.5 trillion, and it's just like, let's just dump money in, you know, into the sewer, is that really going to solve anyone's problems? | ||
| Well, what is? | ||
| It's like you were saying, it's a kiss on a boo-boo. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, it helps a little bit. | ||
| You know, you're a little kid, you stub your toe. | ||
| There are some people that it's going to help for months, you know. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But then there's people in the city that twelve hundred dollars is literally nothing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I understand that. | ||
| But I mean, in the short term, we're going to be sitting back being like, whoo, thank thank heavens. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then a year from now, people are going to be like milk costs ten dollars. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I guess the bigger issue though is, MIT and Harvard have both said two years. | ||
| I hope they're wrong. | ||
| I hope so too. | ||
| Because the bigger question is, if we're deluding ourselves that we can get a handle on this thing, then all we're doing is making things worse before it gets even worse. | ||
| But I don't know, man. | ||
| Here's the issue. | ||
| Nobody wants to be the person who's gonna say, open the floodgates. | ||
| And then take the responsibility for everyone dying. | ||
| Nobody would do it. | ||
| This is such a rock and a hard place. | ||
| There is no right answer. | ||
| There's just like- People are gonna get hurt. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I don't know what to do. | ||
| So which option gives us less deaths? | ||
| That's what everyone's trying to figure out. | ||
| And so it's funny because when Trump and Republicans and other people come out and say we need to get this economy started as soon as possible, the other side just accuses them of trying to sacrifice people for corporate profit. | ||
| It's such a naive and childish way of viewing the world. | ||
| They're not looking at it like, corporate profit to line our pockets. | ||
| Are you joking? | ||
| Rich people can't buy anything if there's nothing to buy. | ||
| Nobody wants to just have the money because worthless money, you know... You can't eat money. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And what people really want is access to labor. | ||
| That's the true value of money for the most part. | ||
| Resources and labor. | ||
| And if nobody's working, why would it matter? | ||
| So that's what's really happening. | ||
| It's like, listen man. | ||
| If the economy isn't moving, supplies won't be delivered to these hospitals and people will die anyway. | ||
| Not only that, if people can't eat or live, they die. | ||
| The economy has to keep moving. | ||
| So what do you think? | ||
| Should Trump open it up in two weeks? | ||
| April 12th? | ||
| Easter? | ||
| You know, it's like, it sounds like he's going, he's like, you know what? | ||
| We need to get the economy going. | ||
| I'm going to open it up. | ||
| And people already hate him anyway. | ||
| So what's the difference? | ||
| Yeah, he can, he can be that person. | ||
| Well, you either love him or you hate him, you know, but it's like, you know what though? | ||
| He's, he's, he, at this point, his, uh, his approval rating is higher than it's ever been. | ||
| It's in the aggregate. | ||
| He's shattered the record. | ||
| And when it comes to coronavirus, most Americans support him. | ||
| This is unheard of for his presidency. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So if he says, let's open it up. | ||
| He did. | ||
| And the polls skyrocketed. | ||
| Dude, let me see if I can pull something up. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah, it's going to be interesting. | ||
| It feels like he knows what needs to happen, because we need to get it going. | ||
| We need to get the economy- It went up even more since I talked about it earlier today. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| See this huge spike? | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Oh, I see. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
47.1. | |
| When I first recorded my segment earlier today, it was at 47, so it even went up just a little bit. | ||
| Now his disapproval rate is 49.6, but take a look at where his disapproval was throughout his presidency. | ||
| See this huge spike? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That is a big spike, wow. | ||
| That's what people want. | ||
| of days that led to a huge, huge spike. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, to be fair, it is a big spike. | ||
| When we look at the past few polls, they're still negative and the positive ones are like | ||
| Gallup Emerson. | ||
| But yeah, Trump in the aggregate over the past few days has skyrocketed around the same | ||
| time he said, I'm going to get you back to work. | ||
| That's what I think. | ||
| I think we know what the people want to do. | ||
| It's not just that his approval rating is on a variety of factors. | ||
| But if we look specifically at job approval on coronavirus, this is where it's like, okay, | ||
| I think the people want Trump to do his thing. | ||
| It's not going to load, is it? | ||
| This site is ridiculous. | ||
| I like real clear politics, but yeah, it can be... Sometimes they refresh on you. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| Gallup has him plus 22. | ||
| His approval rating on the coronavirus is 49.6 and disapproval is 45. | ||
| He's got the majority of Americans on his side for this one right now. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Fox from the 21st to the 24th. | ||
| Plus 5. | ||
| Well, I'm pretty sure that's what the time period has been talking about, getting people back to work, right? | ||
| And seeing the media twist everything and everyone has no time on their hands but to watch the media. | ||
| Yeah, dude, that's a really good point. | ||
| Just like a bunch of hogwash. | ||
| It's like, okay, we see what's happening. | ||
| We are watching Trump. | ||
| I didn't even think about that. | ||
| Now you're telling this. | ||
| It's like, all right, well, I guess what you've been saying to me is wrong. | ||
| This has all been a lie. | ||
| And he's saying some stuff I agree with. | ||
| That's why they're freaking out. | ||
| That's what I was talking about on my main channel. | ||
| So the main point I was making earlier today is that Trump's doing these daily press briefings and his polls are just skyrocketing. | ||
| I mean, look at that spike. | ||
| That is just a boom! | ||
| Unsubstantiated hope. | ||
| It's like, get out of here. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| I saw this huge spike. | ||
| Donald Trump comes out and says, we're going to get you back to work. | ||
| We have potential treatments. | ||
| We're working on this. | ||
| And the American people are clapping. | ||
| Not everybody, but a lot of people. | ||
| And you were right. | ||
| Because nobody's working, they're sitting at home watching TV. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And they see the media lie. | ||
| And they see Trump say, I'm working for you. | ||
| And people are starting to go, I like that. | ||
| And they're watching the media change throughout the days. | ||
| They go one way, they go the other way, they go the other way, and then people are like, what? | ||
| We're paying attention now. | ||
| You want to know what my favorite is? | ||
| What? | ||
| Man, this really, really pissed me off. | ||
| This is why I did the segment I did earlier today on my main channel about the media's freaking out. | ||
| The New York Times wrote about the conundrum the media faces with Trump being a liar. | ||
| They said that he encouraged unproven drugs, which led to an Arizona man dying. | ||
| God, that whole thing is so stupid. | ||
| He never encouraged anyone to take anything. | ||
| No. | ||
| But here's the thing. | ||
| Andrew Cuomo did too, and beyond this. | ||
| Andrew Cuomo of New York said, we're going into clinical trials for this. | ||
| Yeah, he was basically saying exactly the same thing that Trump did. | ||
| And what did the New York Times write about Cuomo? | ||
| He's a hero. | ||
| He's the politician of the moment who's bringing empathy and strength into his press conferences. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I was livid, man. | ||
| It's stark. | ||
| It's just a different version. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| He's just a different version of Trump to me. | ||
| Look, man. | ||
| But the story is like, you can clearly see them saying Trump is wrong to say this is a good idea, and then turning around and saying Cuomo is a hero for suggesting this idea. | ||
| Well, they didn't say that. | ||
| That's a bit much. | ||
| They didn't say it like that. | ||
| They didn't specifically say, Cuomo, encourage this drug, what a good person. | ||
| Well, Cuomo and Trump literally said the exact same thing, that they're testing this drug, and it's promising, and it's actually working. | ||
| And then when the guy put a spoonful of fish cleaner in his, and drank it, they blamed Trump instead of the media or Cuomo. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| So people are watching this now. | ||
| Actually, and you know, if you, if you look through the reports, it wasn't actually what Trump was saying. | ||
| She was like in the interview with this, with the woman that survived it, but her husband passed away. | ||
| She was saying that she saw his press press, the, you know, the press conference, and then it was reported in the media multiple times over and over and over again. | ||
| And that's when she was like, they found information online. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Right. | ||
| She then made the connection, you know, because Trump, it was a medicinal thing. | ||
| Then they, they've just kept saying the word over and over again. | ||
| Well, Trump's got this, he's saying that there's this drug, you know, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And there's chances. | ||
| So it's like, they've just keep repeating it. | ||
| And that's where she got it from. | ||
| You know what I think insulated me from the orange man, bad Trump derangement syndrome is that I was covering a lot of what Obama was doing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If you were to call. | ||
| Okay. And so when all of a sudden Trump started doing things that weren't as bad or were similar, | ||
| I was like, I'm confused. Why are you angry? Yeah. Everyone was praising Obama. You voted for that | ||
| guy twice. He's the one who built those cages in like, you know, Homestead, Florida or whatever. | ||
| Yeah. He's the one who sent the drones overseas. I'm not saying Trump is good. I'm saying like, | ||
| I don't understand why you're mad all of a sudden. Right. I thought you guys were for this stuff. | ||
| Right. And so it was like confusing me. | ||
| I'm like, what? | ||
| It's really crazy. | ||
| Herd mentality. | ||
| It's really crazy to me that I'm grateful that this can exist. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like that we can sit here and be like, can you seriously name, you know, the average person can't name a single thing they don't like about the president other than he's a potty mouth and he's like a gross dude or something. | ||
| Or that he's a liar. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But what is he lied about? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| He lies about silly things, for sure. | ||
| True. | ||
| He says the quiet part loud and the loud part quiet. | ||
| Yeah, but I've actually since started following him on Twitter, and he's like a professional troll. | ||
| He is! | ||
| I swear he knows what he's doing. | ||
| He does! | ||
| He's got to push buttons. | ||
| Of course he does. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| He's putting this stuff out going, ha ha, they're going to eat this up, and they're going to be distracted by it. | ||
| Covfefe. | ||
| Covfefe, yeah, exactly. | ||
| After that, when the media went nuts, he rolled into it. | ||
| He knows what he's doing. | ||
| Yeah, he knows. | ||
| Yeah, it's true. | ||
| There's different tweets. | ||
| He's got his serious tweets, and then he's like, I'm totally messing with your tweets. | ||
| And those are always the ones that the media hits up. | ||
| They're like, whoa, look what he said this time. | ||
| And it's like, of course you logged onto that one. | ||
| Here's the thing about him. | ||
| He's done some bad stuff. | ||
| He's gotten a lot of criticism for the easy go-tos, missile strike in Syria, weapons in Saudi Arabia. | ||
| And the environmental. | ||
| Environmental restrictions. | ||
| Removing environmental regulations. | ||
| And so there's things to criticize the guy for. | ||
| But when I look to any other president, like Obama and the Dakota Access Pipeline, he was doing the same thing, man. | ||
| They called him the deporter-in-chief. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I'm ambivalent. | ||
| It's the same old, same old. | ||
| Every president's going to abuse their power a little bit. | ||
| Well no, it's just they do what they think. | ||
| I'm sure they will. | ||
| I don't think they're doing it because they're evil like mustache twirling. | ||
| I think they're like, I gotta do this for the good of the country. | ||
| This is the thing that must be done. | ||
| Or that lobbyist paid me way, a lot of money that I need to follow through on the promise that I made. | ||
| But everyone's the hero of their own story. | ||
| They justify it in their minds. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| They're like, this is the right thing to do. | ||
| It makes sense. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So, when it comes to Trump, you have this extreme, irrational hatred. | ||
| Trump Derangement Syndrome, Trump Anxiety Disorder, whatever you want to call it. | ||
| The actual physicians call it Trump Anxiety Disorder. | ||
| There are real reasons to criticize the guy, and there are real reasons to want to vote for someone else. | ||
| But what you see in the media is so thick. | ||
| It's like, the, the, the, the, man. | ||
| Yeah, but I'd rather have someone with some brains instead of no brains. | ||
| Oh, Biden. | ||
| It feels like he's checked out a long time ago. | ||
| To hear my hippie friends... Just don't know. | ||
| My friends are like, I can't vote for Biden, man. | ||
| And I'm like, who are you going to vote for? | ||
| And they're like... | ||
| Trump, I guess. | ||
| I'm like, what? | ||
| What is happening? | ||
| He's not talking about me, by the way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not you, no. | |
| What really bothers me about the whole thing is that Joe Biden, for instance, was just credibly accused. | ||
| I don't know if you heard this. | ||
| I watched your video, yeah. | ||
| He was credibly accused. | ||
| And then I saw all the videos that you brought up about all how cringy he is with women. | ||
| Cringy? | ||
| Dude. | ||
| Gropey? | ||
| Gropey? | ||
| Which is cringy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Here we are, planning a show that we originally were talking about the silliness of Sonic the Hedgehog. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And we're having a blast with it. | ||
| And we got 200,000 views. | ||
| I'm like, dude, this is awesome. | ||
| You know what the one rule he gave me? | ||
| He was like, yo, we're going to do the show. | ||
| It's going to be awesome. | ||
| I've got one rule. | ||
| We're not allowed to say the word Democrat or Republican. | ||
| And I was like, yes, because I know nothing about politics. | ||
| And I was like, I don't believe in any of that. | ||
| It's real. | ||
| But here's the thing. | ||
| Look where we are. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| And I said, we will talk a little bit about politics, like it'll pop up, but we'll avoid saying the D and the R word because we want to make this more about like what regular people are up to, what's fun. | ||
| And now here we are. | ||
| And the world has just like, dude, you hit the nail on the head. | ||
| We're all stuck at home. | ||
| We're forced to watch this stuff. | ||
| There's no other news. | ||
| And we are seeing all of the lies in real time. | ||
| And now people in the polls are seeing it too. | ||
| They're like, Trump didn't tell anybody to eat fish cleaner. | ||
| Trump's a lot like Obama. | ||
| So here's the thing, and this has been like a meme. | ||
| Actually, the meme I was going to bring up is that people like to go up to random people and say, why do you hate Trump? | ||
| And they can't give you a reason. | ||
| But here's the better point. | ||
| People who are online on say like YouTube or Twitter or social media who are active and searching for the news will find, will gravitate towards honest conversations, Joe Rogan, you know, Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson. | ||
| Or someone like you and me. | ||
| Perhaps. | ||
| Honest conversations. | ||
| I don't need to mention myself. | ||
| There are people who exist who do a great job of it. | ||
| No, that's what I'm here for. | ||
| I got you, bro. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Thanks, buddy. | ||
| I got you. | ||
| Honest conversations. | ||
| With Soy Jesus. | ||
| So here's the thing. | ||
| If you're somebody who cares about the news, and you read a bunch of stories, and you're like, whoa, I can't believe it's happening. | ||
| And then you turn on a show like ours, and we say a variety of like, here's what the media claimed, here's what actually happened, here are the polls. | ||
| You're like, It's confirmation bias, but because the people who read the news and know what happened... Like, how many times have we got superchats or comments where they corrected us? | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And they told us, it's because everybody watching and us are people who are actively paying attention to the news. | ||
| These are my people. | ||
| Not everybody. | ||
| I don't want to say everybody, because I know a lot of people are like, you know, after I get off work, I like to turn your show on because I trust you or something like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Silly. | |
| But what about the other side? | ||
| The people who just blindly hate Trump? | ||
| You can dislike him, you can criticize him. | ||
| I'm fairly ambivalent. | ||
| I think he's a really funny guy, I gotta be honest. | ||
| But do your own research. | ||
| But when they don't... On all things, do your own research. | ||
| But these people don't do research. | ||
| I can't stress that enough. | ||
| I know, exactly. | ||
| They turn on MSNBC... Herd mentality. | ||
| They turn on MSNBC and they sit back. | ||
| Mm-hmm, and they love it So I don't like I'm not a big fan of Hannity or Laura Ingram I don't watch any but I like Tucker Carlson. | ||
| You know why he's right. | ||
| Yeah, I don't always agree with his opinions But he has on opposition right and he's in front of this like he was talking about this stuff in January. | ||
| Yeah, and And the other hosts weren't so much. | ||
| They tend to be kind of like bombastic tribalist pundits. | ||
| I'm not trying to give beef to them necessarily, but I don't like Rachel Maddow either. | ||
| I don't like MSNBC. | ||
| I've seen so much of her stuff float around and it's always just ridiculous. | ||
| Oh, she's insane. | ||
| It's so bonkers. | ||
| I gotta say, it is unfair of me to compare Hannity and Laura Ingram to Rachel Maddow. | ||
| That is not fair at all. | ||
| Because Hannity and Laura are bombastic. | ||
| These names don't mean anything to me. | ||
| Oh, they're pundits, right? | ||
| Yeah, they're just pundits. | ||
| I get that. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know anything about these people. | ||
| You don't have to. | ||
| It's the media, and I don't trust the media. | ||
| I like to find out the information myself, read the actual scientific proof. | ||
| That's the kind of person I am. | ||
| So here's the thing. | ||
| I did a segment on this last year. | ||
| It's not about just reading a news source, it's about reading it, and then finding their source, and verifying the information. | ||
| And there was one story, I can't remember what it was about, it was about Ocasio-Cortez, and it was a news article that referenced a tweet, that referenced an activist blog, that referenced an article, and I had to dig down to find the source, and of course it was fake news. | ||
| So it's like a media game of telephone. | ||
| Where they slowly change the story to finally get to the media and it's like they're talking about a purple elevator. | ||
| Yeah, and you start out talking about like a bathtub or something. | ||
| Don't even get me started, man. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Wait, wait, wait. | ||
| People love your rants. | ||
| Rant. | ||
| Tim. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Rant. | |
| Go for it. | ||
| Who wants a Tim rant? | ||
| It's a story everybody probably knows. | ||
| Everybody wants a Tim rant. | ||
| This guy from NBC, because I got invited to the White House, He wrote a story about the people who were invited to the White House, and because the narrative had to be specifically that the only people invited are fringe wackos, this activist who works for NBC who purports to be a journalist wrote that Tim Pool, who pushed the Seth Rich conspiracy theory and then linked to an activist blog post that showed a clip of me out of context, | ||
| And then use that as evidence, and then all of a sudden, dozens of other outlets started just copy and pasting. | ||
| And so I started hitting them up, saying like, Ooh, it's working! | ||
| Let's spread it! | ||
| It's just cheap plagiarism. | ||
| It's churnalism. | ||
| That's what it's called. | ||
| Churn. | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Just churning it out. | ||
| So, one outlet saw NBC, and then just copied their article and rewrote it. | ||
| And then the guy from NBC removed the evidence, Oh, cytogenesis. | ||
| what it was actually because they all started sourcing each other. | ||
| It's called, uh, the guy from XKCD calls it cytogenesis, kind of, where it's this phenomenon | ||
| on Wikipedia where someone will see fake news and then write a Wikipedia article and cite | ||
| fake news. | ||
| Oh, cite. | ||
| I was like, how cytogenesis? | ||
| And then someone from like Buzzfeed will see it in Wikipedia and then write, on Wikipedia | ||
| they claim this. | ||
| And then someone from Deadline will write, it's a known fact that this. | ||
| And then someone on Wikipedia will say, this source you've used is bunk, can you give me a better source? | ||
| And he'll say, yes, here's Deadline. | ||
| It's cytogenesis. | ||
| It happens all the time. | ||
| So this guy writes a fake story and here's the best part. | ||
| The Today Show aired it with a big ol' picture of me on NBC. | ||
| They showed a big ol' picture of my face and says, this is a guy who's been pushing the Seth Rich conspiracy theories. | ||
| Never happened. | ||
| Dude, I don't remember that. | ||
| I've never pushed the Seth Rich conspiracy theory stuff. | ||
| Holy cow. | ||
| I was always skeptical. | ||
| I always said, let's be real, stuff like this never happens. | ||
| You know, the likelihood this is real. | ||
| It was around the time that Kim.com claimed he had evidence that Seth Rich was the WikiLeaks source. | ||
| And I said, well, he's saying it. | ||
| And Fox News just came out with a story confirming that they found evidence of this. | ||
| Eh, I'll give it a 68% chance. | ||
| Come on guys, let's be real. | ||
| Stuff like this never turns out to be true. | ||
| What did they take? | ||
| A snippet of me being like, I don't know, I'll give it a 68% chance. | ||
| And then claim Tim Pool pushes the conspiracy theory by saying the Fox News story, which was definitively posted, and they retracted it later. | ||
| Of course it was. | ||
| Well, I thought it was real. | ||
| A lot of people thought it was real. | ||
| And they retracted it. | ||
| Yeah, there was an investigator guy. | ||
| And it's like, not only that, it's like, dude, I was in my living room back when I had like no YouTube subscribers. | ||
| I had like, you know, 5,000 or whatever. | ||
| And I did a live stream and I was just, someone asked me about it. | ||
| I'm like, I don't know a whole lot about it, but I saw this story. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah, maybe. | ||
| And then once my channel did well, they dug through all of my history and said, boom, Tim Pool's a conspiracy theorist. | ||
| Boom, we got him. | ||
| That's the media's game. | ||
| That's all they got you on? | ||
| They're vultures. | ||
| They are vultures. | ||
| Well, the Wikipedia editors weren't having any of it. | ||
| Like, someone went in and tried to add it. | ||
| And then the editors were like, get this bunk up out of here. | ||
| Actually, it was a huge debate. | ||
| It was like, whether or not I was a conspiracy theorist or not. | ||
| And it's like, so insane. | ||
| The craziest thing to me is how they use that as a weapon against you. | ||
| And so it's like, if you go to any counterculture or There's a bunch of... I don't know, I guess counterculture is the easiest way to say it. | ||
| Their Wikipedia pages are just loaded with complete BS. | ||
| And so, I've gone... There's a bunch of journalists who do, like, news organization stuff and, like, conferences, and I've repeatedly said to them, why won't you call this out? | ||
| Give you an example. | ||
| BuzzFeed wrote a story, Man Dies at Popeyes and Fight Over Chicken Sandwich. | ||
| Never happened. | ||
| They made it up because a story about two black men fighting to the death over fried chicken was clickbait. | ||
| The real story? | ||
| They were at Popeyes. | ||
| A guy cut in line. | ||
| Someone called him out. | ||
| The guy said, take it outside. | ||
| And they went outside. | ||
| He knifed him in the chest real quick and ran off. | ||
| Nobody was fighting over a sandwich. | ||
| It was senseless violence. | ||
| This stuff happens all the time. | ||
| That was during the Popeye chicken sandwich craze? | ||
| Technically. | ||
| You think Popeye's paid them under the table for that? | ||
| Well, that was a conspiracy theory. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| That Popeye's put out a statement specifically because they wanted the story to exist that two men fought to the death over the sandwich. | ||
| That's how good it was. | ||
| I'm not kidding. | ||
| I'm not saying it's true, but there are people on social media believing that. | ||
| I was just joking. | ||
| I don't think that's true. | ||
| You want to know what? | ||
| No way. | ||
| I got no problem saying this. | ||
| I reached out to Ben Smith of BuzzFeed, and I said, hey, this story's not real. | ||
| And then he sent me a quote, the police saying they believe that this had something to do with the release of the Popeye's chicken sandwich. | ||
| And I said, that doesn't prove it's real. | ||
| That put them in the restaurant at the same time, that was it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I said to him, I'm vaguely remembering, I don't want to, you know, but I remember saying something to him, this was over Twitter, that The dude's family came out and said, nobody, his cousin was like, ain't nobody died over a chicken sandwich, this is BS, the media's lying. | ||
| And they were lying, I know. | ||
| And didn't you tell me that they're not even that good? | ||
| I didn't like it. | ||
| I never tried it. | ||
| I didn't like it. | ||
| I like Chick-fil-A better. | ||
| For obvious reasons, but. | ||
| But he refused to correct it. | ||
| The story's up to this day. | ||
| And so here's what I did. | ||
| Because it still clicks. | ||
| So, NewsGuard. | ||
| People click on it. | ||
| NewsGuard is the service that I use. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| NewsGuard. | ||
| Actually, we can pull it up. | ||
| I can show you guys. | ||
| Yeah, let's look at it. | ||
| So, this thing right here, you'll see the checkmark. | ||
| Real clear politics gets green across the board, except they don't label their advertising really well. | ||
| I mean, is that fair? | ||
| Yeah, it's just white boxes. | ||
| I mean, sure, whatever. | ||
| It's like a full nutrition panel or whatever. | ||
| Maybe there's articles or whatever. | ||
| Well, it's not like clearly different because it's like a white border, so it kind of flows in. | ||
| You know what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whatever. | |
| I mean, I could see why. | ||
| Here, take a look at this. | ||
| I use this as it's a sort of a credibility check for myself. | ||
| It's a shield for me that if you want to claim I'm being biased by using bad sources, I only use sources when they're certified by an organization that I find to be biased. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| News Guard's actually not that bad, but I got an email from them and they were like, you know, the trolls are trying to give us a bad rating. | ||
| Whenever they give a news website a red exclamation point, these sites, not all of them, will encourage their readers to go and downrank NewsGuard. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| In the App Store. | ||
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| And so I got an email saying, because they were like, you know, it was like a general email. | ||
| Like, supporters, please go and help us. | ||
| And I was like, okay. | ||
| And I gave them a two out of five. | ||
| And I wrote, it's because they give BuzzFeed green checkmarks across the board, except for the difference between, like they say they don't handle the difference between opinion and responsibility, I'm sorry, opinion and news responsibly. | ||
| I think they do. | ||
| And I said, they'll give the Daily Wire, which is Ben Shapiro's outlet, all X's, because they wrote two or three bad stories. | ||
| Because of a difference in opinion. | ||
| Because of a difference in opinion. | ||
| And then they'll give BuzzFeed green checkmarks across the board, even though BuzzFeed's literally made stuff up. | ||
| The problem is, these organizations By default, believe BuzzFeed to be credible, and so they use BuzzFeed to fact-check other organizations. | ||
| Oh man. | ||
| Right. | ||
| When BuzzFeed's making stuff up. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so here's what happens. | ||
| They say, the Washington Post is a good, credible source. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So, we don't need to actually... So here's what'll happen. | ||
| Let's say I wrote a story that said, that fight over the chicken sandwich is fake news, BuzzFeed's lying. | ||
| They'll go to BuzzFeed, and they'll say, hmm, no, BuzzFeed says it's true. | ||
| Tim Pool is lying. | ||
| And they'll give me the X. Wow. | ||
| That's how it works with the bias in these systems. | ||
| So, you know, BuzzFeed and all these other, and like the Daily Beast has written so much fake crap. | ||
| I know for a fact, because I was actually on the ground at several of these events they wrote about, and I'm like, they made that up? | ||
| They straight made stuff up? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then I reach out to the news guard and I say, why won't you call them out? | ||
| I reached out to people at the Online News Association. | ||
| None of them will do anything. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| And they know it. | ||
| I reached out to the former editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed News personally. | ||
| I know Ben. | ||
| I've been to the BuzzFeed offices and hanging out with him. | ||
| I saw him on the way to Davos, the World Economic Forum, years ago. | ||
| We've talked. | ||
| He's in one of my videos. | ||
| And so I hit him up and said, you need to correct this. | ||
| And he said, no. | ||
| Yeah, because the media isn't about getting the news out there, the real news. | ||
| Nah, it's clicks. | ||
| It's about getting people to their site so that they can make more ad revenue. | ||
| I'll clarify. | ||
| I don't think he... Like, it's been a while since we talked, he didn't directly say like, I refuse to correct or something. | ||
| He just said, the police said it was related to it, we're good. | ||
| And the headline says... It sounds like a brush off. | ||
| In a fight over... And basically saying no. | ||
| And when I did that review for NewsGuard, I responded to the email saying, just to let you know, you requested it, I gave it to you, I gave you a 2 out of 5 and here's why. | ||
| They emailed me back saying, I respect, you know, you've talked about us, but I don't think it's fair. | ||
| You give Media Matters green checkmarks across the board. | ||
| I don't know what that is. | ||
| Media Matters, it's an activist organization that it's just basically if you're conservative or right-wing, they'll lie about you. | ||
| My favorite, and this was funny because the Wikipedia editors wigged out on how insane it was. | ||
| Media Matters wrote that I pushed a conspiracy theory that Ilhan Omar may have married her brother. | ||
| She's a Democratic congresswoman. | ||
| I did hear about this. | ||
| But what they showed on the page was me looking at the Star Tribune that said she may have married a man who may be her brother. | ||
| That was their reference? | ||
| So here's the best part. | ||
| They said, Tim Pool falsely claimed that the Star Tribune claimed that Ilhan Omar may have married her brother and they showed a picture of me with my face in the corner and the newspaper for the Star Tribune with a sentence I was reading. | ||
| I didn't falsely claim anything. | ||
| I read a sentence off the newspaper. | ||
| And you can literally see it on your screen. | ||
| And so somebody tried using the source from Media Matters saying Timble is a conspiracy | ||
| theorist on Wikipedia and they were like, I clicked that and they're claiming that a | ||
| paper he read was a false attribution but they showed the paper he was reading. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| That's how insane they are. | ||
| And they get green checkmarks as credible. | ||
| That's NewsGuard. | ||
| So why, I mean you started by saying you use NewsGuard because you want to have your stuff | ||
| checked but it's clear to me that they are biased. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| So how do you know that it's even worth using them at all? | ||
| If NewsGuard wants to come to me and give me a red checkmark or whatever and accuse me, I'm gonna laugh. | ||
| I'm gonna be like, why bro? | ||
| I only use sites you've approved. | ||
| Oh, that's funny. | ||
| Is that the only reason? | ||
| Because it sounds like their checkmarks mean nothing. | ||
| People like Media Matters using that, you know, smear against me, that's how they weaponize it. | ||
| They try to claim, you know, you're pushing a fake news website. | ||
| It's like, don't look at me, man. | ||
| If NewsGuard says it's good, I use it. | ||
| So I used the Center for Immigration Studies as a source once, and a bunch of progressives started claiming I was using alt-right propaganda. | ||
| And I'm just like, don't look at me, man. | ||
| NewsGuard said they're certified factual and correct. | ||
| End of story. | ||
| Don't care. | ||
| Brush it off. | ||
| The perfect scapegoat. | ||
| It's not me. | ||
| They approved it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's true, though. | |
| I know. | ||
| I don't know these things. | ||
| I know exactly what I'm saying. | ||
| What were you saying? | ||
| I think we should move to Super Chats. | ||
| Yeah, we got into a ranty. | ||
| But hey, it was better than just complaining about Morgz again, right? | ||
| Yes, moving it forward. | ||
| All right, all of our Super Chat friends, we got... Shout out to the comments. | ||
| What up, everybody? | ||
| How you doing? | ||
| We got way too many. | ||
| We got so many. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| Good news! | ||
| Good news! | ||
| I found beanies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, he did! | |
| Somebody hit me up today and sent me a website that is beanies. | ||
| And this is the craziest part. | ||
| It's in our town. | ||
| Local. | ||
| It's local, in our town. | ||
| I don't have to leave the township. | ||
| It's like two miles from us. | ||
| So is that not crazy? | ||
| And it's made in America. | ||
| Solid beanies. | ||
| Beanies are coming! | ||
| And the reason we know that it's meant to be Is that amidst the global crisis where we're not allowed to go out or do anything? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's nearby, only a few miles away. | ||
| Literally, I could drive there. | ||
| So we don't got to worry about travel. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Like what? | ||
| So meant to be. | ||
| But we'll see. | ||
| Beanie hype! | ||
| It's real. | ||
| It's real. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| We are in, you know, this, this, this shutdown. | ||
| So, uh, let's, let's hit these super chats. | ||
| If you're, if you're just tuning in or if you haven't yet hit that like button, tell YouTube that we're awesome so that YouTube doesn't ban us or whatever. | ||
| Yes, I will do that. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| King Canuck says, Have a good show, fellas. | ||
| First. | ||
| We are having a good show. | ||
| Yes, we are. | ||
| I appreciate the ranting about the media. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because I hate them so much. | ||
| They're such evil people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Atham. | ||
| Thanks for the super chat. | ||
| Just us. | ||
| Welcome to the apocalypse. | ||
| You betcha. | ||
| David says, We must boycott China. | ||
| Pressure corpse to move out. | ||
| USA beanies. | ||
| Well, boycott's strong, but we definitely need to get out of China. | ||
| For the environment, even. | ||
| So, I had a buddy who said that skateboarding, he quit skateboarding. | ||
| He said it was the most destructive thing on the planet. | ||
| Exaggeration. | ||
| But that's where he started telling me about how We cut down trees in Canada, send to China, and then ship them back, and it takes such an amazing amount of energy. | ||
| It's just so destructive for the environment. | ||
| He was like, the amount of carbon those things pump out, plus cutting the trees down? | ||
| He's like, I can't do it. | ||
| And I was like, why don't we just make the skateboards here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You got that sweet, cheap Chinese labor, man. | ||
| Yeah, but I think we should. | ||
| I'll pay more for a board if it's made in America. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Lance says, what if the only the NPC dying? | ||
| I'm not quite sure what you meant, sorry. | ||
| Sev says, Tim and Co, can you please theorize and visualize our economy if permanently affected by the coronavirus, whether by severity or duration? | ||
| This is one of the things that I was kind of thinking like, if we go into this two year period of on and off, we'll see new businesses emerge that you've never even thought of. | ||
| I can't even conceptualize. | ||
| There'll be like, dude, we will have lock-up parties where it's like, there'll probably be warehouses where they're like, come in for the month, man. | ||
| We lock the doors, we got all the food you want, we party, we hang out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That'd be cool. | |
| There will be, and then there will be open up parties where it'll be like, you know, | ||
| the shutdown ends on the first and then we have a major massive party. | ||
| Stuff like that. | ||
| That'd be crazy stuff. | ||
| Huge, like block parties. | ||
| Yeah, because people get sick. | ||
| I wouldn't want to go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Holly says, we should have American workforce wear respirators. | ||
| If we have enough, Winter Walker says, Tim, at what point are you going to bug out? | ||
| What's your criteria for that decision? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| The armed banditos roaming the neighborhood, maybe? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because we could even do this show from the van. | ||
| We could get, like, a table and, like, it would not be as high quality, you know? | ||
| But we can talk into microphones anywhere. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| It's true, we can. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| Live even. | ||
| UnXin says, do you think the crisis and the panic gun buying will have a lasting effect | ||
| on those who didn't understand the value of 2A or will it all revert? | ||
| It will. | ||
| You see that viral video of the gun store guy who was yelling, you first time gun buyers | ||
|
unidentified
|
coming in here, you don't understand, you can't just get it, you gotta wait 10 days. | |
| Next time someone tries taking away your stuff, you'll fight back. | ||
| And I was like, all of these people in these urban centers who are scrambling to buy guns. | ||
| Yeah, too bad. | ||
| You held your tongue and didn't care when all these politicians, could you imagine what would have happened if they passed like a couple, like it was last year they wanted to do the assault weapons ban, would have banned like handguns and stuff. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| People would be like, what do you mean? | ||
| I can't own a handgun. | ||
| Like, that's right. | ||
| They're assault weapons. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Oh, that would have woken them up. | ||
| That would have thrown them for a loop. | ||
| And I'm sure they're already thrown for a loop. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| Going to a gun store and the guy's like, no. | ||
| Like, what do you mean no? | ||
| It's like, here's the law. | ||
| And they're like, but I don't understand. | ||
| Well, then vote Republican. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I think like even like Joe Rogan's big on 2A, right? | ||
| I imagine. | ||
| I think he was saying something about he's like kind of a socialist, but when it comes to 2A, he's like... But the reality is socialists tend to be pro-2A. | ||
| Like, uh, look, man. | ||
| John Brown Gun Club. | ||
| Yeah, these revolutionary types, they want guns. | ||
| They don't, you know, they don't like the idea of the government. | ||
| It's these weird, like, resistance corporate Democrat-type people who are like, no one should be armed. | ||
| And they would, like, vote for Darth Vader if given the chance. | ||
| Only, only us. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's what it feels like. | ||
| Only the politicians, only the government. | ||
| Only the celebrities. | ||
| Chat says, Canada is continuing to lock down. | ||
| The Quarantine Act was just passed in Parliament. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I was just thinking maybe I should re-download The Division 2. | ||
| What's up guys, hope you're staying safe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
New DLC? | |
| If you guys are gamers, and if this gets worse for two years, then I honestly want you to | ||
| apply Tom Clancy's Division game series to this pandemic. | ||
| Just my two cents. | ||
| I was just thinking maybe I should re-download the Division 2. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's a fun game. | ||
| New DLC, go back to New York. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I kind of want to play it now. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We can live stream. | ||
| People would love to watch it. | ||
| Who wants to see me and Tim play some Division 2? | ||
| We could actually do the show while playing. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| We could be like... I'm half kidding. | ||
| I'm only half kidding. | ||
| Oh, fun. | ||
| Glenn says, we are basically on full lockdown in Nova Scotia, Canada. | ||
| $1,000 fines for not social distancing. | ||
| They are arresting people for not self-isolating. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I don't think people realize how bad it is. | ||
| I think it's much worse than they're letting on. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I can say it a million times, but hearing stories about people being found dead in their homes, nobody knew. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| CS Brown says apparently China's experiencing a huge increase in divorces related to COVID-19 forced quarantine. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Same thing coming to America soon? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Oh, they've already seen it. | ||
| Really? | ||
| 50% increase in New York. | ||
| Divorce lawyers were talking about. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How do you divorce someone during a quarantine? | ||
| Well, you gotta work it carefully. | ||
| We're gonna see a lot of babies. | ||
| Lots and lots of babies. | ||
| Babies and divorces. | ||
| I gotta say, everyone's stoked about the idea of us playing Division 2. | ||
| We'll figure it out. | ||
| We actually have an area set up because we're going to do game streaming and we actually have the ports available on the machine to do it. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| We can do it. | ||
| I mean, to be honest, the first few episodes we were doing was talking about movies and stuff. | ||
| We're only talking about this stuff now because the world's ending and there's nothing else. | ||
| No one's talking about anything else. | ||
| But I think we'll check out The Hunt. | ||
| Yeah, we gotta watch that. | ||
| And then we'll talk about that because that's culturally relevant to an extent. | ||
| The problem is that All of a sudden, no one cares about any of this stuff. | ||
| And I get it. | ||
| You know, you wanna know why you lost your job. | ||
| People are worried about where they're gonna eat next and how they're gonna pay their rent. | ||
| But I gotta give you that point, like, they're stuck at home with nothing to do but watch the news and now they're seeing the lies in real time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's why, this is crazy, there are two polls now, I believe it's Gallup and CBS, that people trust Trump more than the media. | ||
| That is incredible. | ||
| The media is doing it. | ||
| I love it so much. | ||
| They're the ones making it happen. | ||
| But I love it so much because it's like catharsis. | ||
| It's karmic justice. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Seems like it. | ||
| It's like, oh man, I love it. | ||
|

All right. | |
| Kyle Buchanan says, well, Oklahoma schools are closed for 2020, like till Jan of next year, unless things change. | ||
| Whoa, crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Jen McMahon says, why is everyone ripping Joe Rogan? | ||
| Cause he smokes. | ||
| And we said the other day that, or I was surmising that smokers, it's a lung disease. | ||
| So if you smoke, it hits you much more. | ||
| You smoke pot? | ||
| Anything, I guess. | ||
| How many of you smoke cigarettes? | ||
| No, I know. | ||
| I know he doesn't smoke cigarettes. | ||
| Rocks the ganja. | ||
| That's what they're talking about, though. | ||
| Because that instantly started happening in the chat, so I think that's just residual from that. | ||
| Joe's cool, dude. | ||
| Maddie Bones. | ||
| Very much alive. | ||
| Very much alive, yeah. | ||
| But he's remarkably fit. | ||
| Yeah, he is. | ||
| There's this really funny video where this woman calls him fat. | ||
| And he's like, what? | ||
| And he pulls his shirt up and he goes, no, no, no. | ||
| Like, you know, he was an MMA fighter. | ||
| His studio is a gym. | ||
| Is it really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's got a full gym in it. | ||
| He's got an archery range. | ||
| I wouldn't mess with him. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| I want an archery range. | ||
| Yeah, that dude's ripped. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Maddie Bones says, remember, believe all women, unless they speak out against a Democrat. | ||
| P.S. y'all got me missing my Vision streetwear. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| So a funny story, when the woman who was abused by Joe Biden went to the Time's Up organization, | ||
| they said, well, we can't help you because Joe's a Democrat. | ||
| It's political. | ||
| And, you know, we can't do it. | ||

What? | |
| Are you serious? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's embarrassing. | ||
| Barf. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Barf. | ||
| But if it's Brett Kavanaugh... Why is it? | ||
| Everyone comes out of the woodwork because he's Republican. | ||
| We can't have that. | ||
| Why is it that Joe Biden is getting by on all of these scandals just because he's running for president? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| He's like, I'm gonna run for president. | ||
| All of a sudden he is immune criminally and untouchable. | ||
| Untouchable. | ||
| Stay alive, Joe. | ||
|

|
Yeah. | |
| Stay alive. | ||
| Joe Rogan and Joe Biden. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Jett says, in my hometown, a guy was arrested by the RCMP for breaking quarantine and fined $1,000. | ||
| If he breaks it again, it's $7,500. | ||
| Then it's $15,000 and jail time. | ||
| Welcome to the authoritarian machine. | ||
| The Panopticon is real. | ||
| Everyone knows where you are and they are coming for you. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| People are cheering for it. | ||
| So we have a correction actually. | ||
| I quoted Padme. | ||
| Padme Rung. | ||
| So this is how liberty dies. | ||
| Yeah, not democracy, liberty. | ||
| With thunderous applause. | ||
| Grace Fang says, y'all notice after watching one of Tim's videos, YouTube marks it part watched or not watched at all, showing up in my history, but at zero minutes watched for all. | ||
| Weird. | ||
| Yeah, because YouTube is, you know, suppressing my content. | ||
| If it's just these videos, it might just be because they're live streams. | ||
| That's my two cents. | ||
| These maybe, I don't know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Toxic Mail Gamer says, play The Division. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Rotal says, Tim, why you give the internet your feet? | ||
| Oh, I posted an Instagram thing of me skating with barefoot. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| What are you going to do? | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| And by the way, this dude was doing that in like 20 degree weather. | ||
| Skating around outside. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I know. | ||
| You're crazy. | ||
| I'm calling you out for being crazy. | ||
| For skating when it was cold out? | ||
| Barefoot. | ||
| Barefoot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So? | |
| You're crazy. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I'm like, what's the big deal? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| No, no, no. | ||
| There's no big deal. | ||
| Oh, this is interesting too. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| So we were just talking about how the price of goods were going up. | ||
| This guy says, pleb of reason says milk price dropped over 30%, 20% below cost of production. | ||
| If this holds, farms will be going bankrupt too. | ||
| I don't understand how that could be though, because everyone rated the milks, like the milk was just ripped apart from the stores. | ||
| The farms wouldn't go to business. | ||
| They would just need to grow something different. | ||
| Cheaper milk. | ||
| Maybe they could make milk by putting water. | ||
| Or grow oats. | ||
| This happened in Europe one time and they had to kill the dairy cows. | ||
| You know what's funny? | ||
| I interviewed a farmer back when I was, this was like in 2014 I think, 2015 maybe. | ||
| And he was growing kale. | ||
| And I asked him, I was like, wow, kale. | ||
| I hate kale. | ||
| Have you always grown kale? | ||
| I started laughing. | ||
| It was like, no, no, no. | ||
| It's like, one day all of a sudden the order started going nuts. | ||
| We started making tons of money off this and it's because hipsters were all like, it's a superfood, gotta eat your kale. | ||
| Kale was originally just garnish for Pizza Hut's salad bar. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, and then all of a sudden these farmers were like, whoa, it's a gold mine! | ||
| Like, the demand was so insane, they all started growing it. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| I wouldn't be surprised if this leads to a few new developments, like Nutella, for instance. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Do you know how Nutella was invented? | ||
| No idea. | ||
| So for those that aren't familiar with the delicious, creamy chocolate treat that is Nutella, it is a chocolate hazelnut spread, and it was because of a chocolate shortage. | ||
| So the dude was like, if I mix this with like a nut butter, what could I do to make chocolate bigger? | ||
| So we could take a little bit of chocolate and expand it to filler. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Made Nutella. | ||
| Hazelnuts and chocolate. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| Delicious. | ||
| If only they didn't put milk in it also. | ||
| Yeah, well, you know, you can't have it. | ||
| But I think we're going to see something similar. | ||
| I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of factories and farms are going under. | ||
| We start seeing like, you know, milk, oat milk hybrid. | ||
| Because it's cheaper to just run oats through a grinder with water and then filter out the hard bits and mix it with milk to fluff it up. | ||
| Coconut milk, that's my jam. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I think we're going to see diluted product. | ||
| We're going to see different products. | ||
| People are going to try and save money. | ||
| Look, let's be real. | ||
| Grow your own food. | ||
| The economy before this was golden. | ||
| So, you know, we'll see. | ||
| I don't think we're going to go to the point where it's like the Depression and we're trying to invent things to get by. | ||
| Scepter says, Good Omens is great if you haven't seen slash read it. | ||
| I'll check it out. | ||
| Is that a TV show? | ||
| I don't know, maybe? | ||
| Salthink says, We won't have a country in two months. | ||
| It'll either be Mad Max or Hunger Games in two years. | ||
| Perhaps, yes. | ||
| Vanessa Stuller says, Recommend that you become greedy YouTubers and only read Super Chats over $10. | ||
| Yes, I see the irony here. | ||
| Yes, because that was a $5 super chat, but I appreciate it. | ||
| Well, we try to read as many as we can and then we speed up by doing the bigger ones just because we get, you know, we have too many and we probably have too many now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Min Max says, buy some soap and get that gumbo off your shirt. | ||

What? | |
| Who? | ||
| Where? | ||
| It's your button again. | ||
| Oh, it's a button. | ||
| Remember? | ||
| It's a button that's shining. | ||
| Yeah, the shirt's clean. | ||
| Why does it look like gumbo though? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't get it. | |
| Where does it look like gumbo? | ||
| It's the second time we've heard this. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| You got gumbo on your shirt. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| Matt the Cat says, approximately how many people die from cancer-related illnesses every year in the US? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Do you know how many? | ||
| A lot? | ||
| What causes cancer? | ||
| That's the real question. | ||
| The issue with a lot of these other diseases people don't get is that when someone gets cancer, they get a treatment, they go to the hospital, they get, you know, a chemo shot or a pill or whatever it is they get, they go home. | ||
| And then they come back later for the follow-up treatments, and then if they get really bad, then they're put in, you know, in the hospital. | ||
| With coronavirus, it's like one day you're walking around and then all of a sudden you're gasping and wheezing, you collapse on a subway train and they bring you to the hospital, and they're desperately trying to stop you from dying. | ||
| They may or may not even know how to treat it. | ||
| They think they know how to target cancer to some extent. | ||
| They have a few different treatments. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Dr. Doctor says, I talked to a buddy that works at Dallas Center as an ATC. | ||

| Jan, thanks for coming to Member. | ||
| Redbeard says, $15 million reward for capturing conviction of Maduro on drug trafficking and narco-tourism. | ||
| What are your thoughts? | ||
| Is that what they put out? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Barred it. | ||
| Is he still the president or no? | ||
| Maduro? | ||
| Yeah, as far as I know. | ||
| The president of Venezuela. | ||
| This strikes me as very strange. | ||
| He's a leader of a foreign country. | ||
| Replacing a $15 million ransom on the head of a foreign leader. | ||
| And you will see a coup in two seconds. | ||
| That is interesting. | ||
| We'll see, man. | ||
| They're already upset. | ||
| We're going to speed up and try to go through the Super Chats faster. | ||
| Oh wow, it's 9.30 already. | ||
| Yeah, I was ranting a lot about the media. | ||
| I had to do it. | ||
| It was good. | ||
| I told you to. | ||
| Jason Martz says, love the show Tim, have you looked up Bill HR 5717? | ||
| We need to do that. | ||
| So I did a little bit, and it is a huge gun control thing, and it's from a couple years ago, I want to say. | ||
| Is it the crazy one that bans handguns? | ||
| I believe so. | ||
| Or part of it got through, I think. | ||
| Yeah. | ||

Oof. | |
| CC, thanks for coming. | ||
| A member. | ||
| Benito says, Tim, I've heard you talk about anime. | ||
| I highly suggest watching Log Horizon. | ||
| People get trapped in an MMORPG, and the main character uses strategy to solve every problem. | ||
| S3 comes out this year. | ||
| Season 3. | ||
| Oh, cool. | ||
| Sounds fun. | ||
| We weren't trying to provide anyone with valuable perspective. | ||
| We were trying to complain about movies. | ||
| We were watching Sonic the Hedgehog. | ||
| We went to the AMC. | ||
| We saw Sonic the Hedgehog. | ||
| We were like, Sonic the Hedgehog was a great movie. | ||
| How much fun? | ||
| Wasn't it cool when, you know, Tails came out and blah, blah, blah, and it's like, oh, I can't wait for the next movie. | ||
| Yeah, we'll just have to go see the next one. | ||
| To be determined. | ||
| One week later, the world is ending. | ||
| It was not to be. | ||
| No. | ||
| Paxton Fairbank says, grass is good for the kids to play on. | ||
| It acts as a nice mat for kids to roughhouse on. | ||
| Grass is good. | ||
| I do like grass. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| A handy redneck. | ||
| Grass was a social status in the old world. | ||
| If you were wealthy and powerful, you did not have to grow food and get dirty. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Now we're all wealthy. | ||
| JustDavid says, the media is making this bigger. | ||
| It's not good. | ||
| It's contagious and high mortality rate, but we live with more debilitating and deadly disease and hazard. | ||
| We are not used to this. | ||
| We are atrophied and need to rebuild muscles. | ||
| That's what I was saying. | ||
| It's very true. | ||
| We can't, we can't, it's like, I feel like, like, you know, one day, oh, remember that story I told you about the wolf? | ||
| The family was on the beach and the wolf showed up and they ran out, they swam out into the ocean to a rock and were huddling, freezing, terrified of the wolf. | ||
| That's what I'm, I'm like, dude, Wolves are out there. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| 100 years ago, 200 years ago, the guy would have drawn his sword and been like, stay back, family! | ||
| Come at me, beast! | ||
| Or, you know, I'm kidding, but... Oh, no. | ||
| This is a very accurate depiction. | ||
| They knew the dangers. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And people died all the time. | ||
| But now that we're so safe, everyone walks... Nobody has weapons, for the most part. | ||
| People walk around in just, like, loose, thin cotton shirts, no leather, no hide, no mail, nothing, no protection. | ||
| And they don't expect anything to happen. | ||
| So when it does, they panic and they hide in their bedroom and slam the door and lock it. | ||
| Of course, chain mail wouldn't have done much to a deadly virus pandemic. | ||
| No, no, but what I mean is... I know. | ||
| Those were some hard times. | ||
| 200, 300 years ago, people would be like, he's got, you know, or what is it, like, you ever see that movie with, um, Tombstone? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's got the consumption. | ||
| You know, tuberculosis. | ||
| I think it was tuberculosis, right? | ||
| The consumption? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so... Doc Holliday. | ||
| And people would die. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Now it's like, we have this, you know, deadly disease, and people immediately run inside, slam the doors shut, and start huddling in fear. | ||
| I mean that I'm being somewhat hyperbolic, but at what point do we recognize that we can't control everything and these things are going to happen? | ||
| We can't all hide from this. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know what to do. | ||
| Fortunately, I work from home, and I don't have to go out into the world and get any crazy diseases. | ||
| Yeah, I was talking to a buddy of mine. | ||
| We're lucky, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||

Yeah. | |
| Let's keep it moving. | ||
| Mark G says, I'm making a liberty garden in my yard just in case the lockdown gets worse. | ||
| If the lockdown doesn't, then I'll have fresh veggies. | ||
| Win-win. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| Mimic what people did during World War I. Yeah, well, I want chickens, but you can't legally have them here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boo. | |
| I am angry. | ||
| We had chickens in Miami. | ||
| We did. | ||
| Fresh eggs every morning. | ||
| Glorious. | ||
| and the chickens were more than happy to be like, ruff ruff, pick them up and they just look at you, | ||
| and then we would eat them. | ||
| And they ate their own eggs too, it's kind of gross. | ||
| Yeah, it's a little weird. | ||
| That's bad, they're not supposed to do that. | ||
| Yeah, they need calcium. | ||
| No, it's like, I was reading about it's a bad habit. | ||
| Basically, the chickens will learn to do it and it's a really bad thing. | ||
| So you gotta go in there and make sure you take the eggs away | ||
| but it was, something happened where like, I think when one of the animals broke in | ||
| and like one of the eggs broke and they started eating it or something. | ||
| Oh, yeah, I forgot that we had those dogs man. | ||
| The dogs kept coming in and trying to kill our chickens and they did kill some of them. | ||
| That's that's that's BS man. | ||
| Yeah, my chickens are my friends. | ||
| All right, let's read on. | ||
| But we can't have him here in Jersey. | ||
| CDW says even if we do bring manufacturing back politicians will bring The Chinese worker is with it. My company stopped hiring | ||
| local grads and only hires H1B PhDs for jobs that only require associate's degrees. | ||
| Yeah, we can't do that either. | ||
| Student of History says, I think we need to buy time till we have a viable option of fighting back. | ||
| If X. If the hydrochloroquine azithromycin tests come back good, or when we get the ventilator production up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||

| Paxton says, It doesn't matter how bad the virus is. | ||
| We will muddle on through. | ||
| It will be hard, but we are strong and will survive. | ||
| Now is the time for the concept of Serenity to make a comeback. | ||
| Greg Wolf, there is a story from Weimar, Germany that goes, a lady took her wheelbarrow full of money to the store to buy bread. | ||
| She went inside and someone dumped the money and stole the wheelbarrow. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Gary Wildly says, I'm an electrician in Michigan. | ||

Wow. | |

| Dude, when the authoritarian, you know, nightmare comes, the people are going to clap and cheer for it. | ||
| It's going to be like 1984. | ||
| Steven Coombs says, I enjoy the show, keep it up. | ||
| You guys mentioned the Wonder Chicken last night. | ||
| Today a new carnivorous feathered dinosaur from New Mexico was published. | ||
| It's called Dyneobellator. | ||
| Check it out. | ||
| That's what we were looking at. | ||
| Yeah, that's exactly the same thing. | ||
| The Hylian VoIP technology, voice over IP, theory regarding Chinese phones is that people are destroying them or shutting them off to hide. | ||
| Unlikely 21 million die that fast. | ||
| Phone ownership is mandatory in China. | ||
| Whoa, what, really? | ||
| It's mandatory? | ||
| I never heard that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's scary. | |
| I didn't know that it was the ownership that was mandatory. | ||
| I knew that if you got the phone, you had to like get facial recognition and like register who you are and where you live and all that crazy stuff. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Make everybody have a phone. | ||
| Yikes, man. | ||
|

Wow. | |
| Gary, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Laowai says, hey man, I heard we were mentioned, would love to come on the show, let me know. | ||
| I think you were. | ||
| Indeed, and I'm already in touch with you. | ||
| We'll figure it out, but here's the thing, we don't really do Skype, we're not really set up for Skype stuff, and we were actually bringing people down to the show to come on, and we even set up this big empty space in between us. | ||
| There's supposed to be someone here. | ||
| And now we're quarantined in the apocalypse and we can't have people over. | ||
| Gothic says, hey Tim, there's an anime called Sword Art Online where players use a helmet called Dive Gear where all the controls are your brain. | ||
| Seems like the future of gaming as far as I can tell. | ||
| I can't wait. | ||
| We are familiar with this. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I'm excited. | ||
| I gotta charge up the VR thing. | ||
| Have you ever played the Space Pirates game? | ||
| The quest Space Pirates? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| Oh, dude. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cool. | |
| It's very simple. | ||
| It's an arcade game, little robots, and you're like... | ||
| Yeah, and you can, like, get a electromagnet and, like, grab him and throw him. | ||
| It's fun. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| We'll set it up. | ||
| Yeah, I like VR. | ||
| Like Fry says, have you heard the rumors about Advil and Tylenol? | ||
| That Advil makes Corona worse and Tylenol is safe to use. | ||
| A lot of people I know are freaking out over this. | ||
| Can you look into whether these rumors are true or not? | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I don't know because there's a lot of conflicting information. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| So I'm not going to say anything because... Yeah. | ||
| I don't want anybody to hear it. | ||
| You don't know. | ||
| All right, Greg says, hey Tim, at laowai86 is in your chat asking to do a video with you. | ||
| He and Serpentza do great videos on China. | ||
| Reach out to him. | ||
| Okay, thanks. | ||
| We will. | ||
| I'm in the bush. | ||
| You are? | ||

Excellent. | |

| BV says, Ernit Act likely just the beginning of sneaky government overreach during a crisis, and we all need to be especially vigilant right now. | ||
| Remember, the Patriot Act was written and shelved years before 9-11. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| Duder, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| Excellent. | ||
| And we'll scroll down. | ||
| Paul Duffy, thanks for the superchat. | ||
| Paul's... Oh, it just jumped on us. | ||
| I love it when it does that. | ||
| So, as I'm scrolling up and looking to try and figure out where our superchats went, I will explain to you what's happening. | ||
| YouTube loads all the superchats at once, and then the entire feed just blinks, and I'm like, okay. | ||
| Paul says, I've had to lay off all my employees. | ||
| Our company is making $0 for the first time in 120 years. | ||
| We can get back to work. | ||
| I have a video on my page about how. | ||
| Please let me know what you think. | ||
| We'll take a look at it. | ||
| Kaj says, when the crisis is over, China must pay reparations to the entire world for releasing this plague upon the planet. | ||
| They must be made an example of, so that something like this never happens again. | ||
| They should not have lied. | ||
| They should not have withheld information, and they traced the first case back to November. | ||
| If we knew then, this could have all been avoided. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| We could have done a semi-lockdown for a short period of time, it would have stopped in its tracks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| All right, Team Gas says, seek truth. | ||
| Appreciate the super chat. | ||
| Shire says, China holds $1 trillion in US bonds. | ||
| We can tell them to pound, sand, and cancel these bonds. | ||
| We hold a $1 trillion gun to their head. | ||
| Yikes. | ||
| Nonservium says, someone pointed out to me that during the government shutdown a while back, a bunch of activist rallies suddenly got canceled. | ||
| And now because of this whole pandemic, you see less activism on the internet. | ||
| Coincidence? | ||
| I think not. | ||
| Perhaps a coincidence. | ||
| The issue is that activism won't be effective right now because no one will care. | ||
| We are still seeing these stupid articles where they're like, you know, but my bigotry. | ||
| If activists... First of all, they can't go out right now. | ||
| We're under quarantine. | ||
| If they did, everyone would screech them and it would be a huge negative for their cause. | ||
| True. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Like, this is why Trump's approval is skyrocketing. | ||
| Nobody cares about, you know, your weird whatever. | ||
| We just don't want to die. | ||
| Superguy88 says the beanies should say it's complicated. | ||
| Oh, we'll have a variety of beanies. | ||
| Actually, you know what? | ||
| On that note, what do you guys want on the beanies? | ||
| I actually have a few ideas. | ||
| I'm working with an artist to do some cool Timcast IRL stuff for us. | ||
| But yeah, what should we do? | ||
| I mean, it's complicated. | ||
| That's on the list already. | ||
| And, I mean, really the number one thing I want to do is emulate that. | ||
| What he's got on his head, the actual Timcast beanie. | ||
| Yeah, the original. | ||
| The original. | ||
| It's not the original. | ||
| Well, but it's going to be, instead of DC, it'll be TP. | ||
| Oh, that's not going to work. | ||
|

|
TC. | |
| Timcast. | ||
| Well, Timpool. | ||
| Yeah, not TP. | ||
| Alright, we'll do that. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Alright, Timcast. | ||
| Mabe says... Or maybe just IRL. | ||
| Anyway, go ahead. | ||
| Will China the CCP be punished for the coronavirus, or the leaders of the world will just ignore it like what happened in SARS outbreak years ago, which also came from Chinese wet market? | ||
| Nothing's gonna happen. | ||
| They're not gonna do anything to them. | ||
| Right. | ||

| Aaron Larson says, Tim, heads up for y'all. | ||
| I have all notifications on for this channel, and I subscribed, but YouTube still isn't sending me notifications when you go live anymore. | ||
| That's what I was talking about. | ||
| I've been this way for four days now. | ||
| Look into it. | ||
| Yeah, well, Adam wasn't even getting notifications. | ||
| I'm trying to figure it out myself, because I have my computer here, and when I sit down and he logs it up, I try to get it prepped and ready, and I don't get it. | ||
| I'm subscribed. | ||
| Welcome to YouTube. | ||
| I click the bell. | ||
| Sometimes it works, though. | ||
| That's the weird part. | ||
| Sometimes it'll be like, boom, it's there. | ||
| I click the bell, and it pops up right away. | ||
| I would say 75% of the time, nothing happens. | ||
| It's annoying. | ||
| All right, let's see what we got. | ||
| Hydro Homie says, will the inevitable inflation coming to the U.S. | ||
| global economy with the inevitable inflation? | ||
| Do you believe that untraceable cryptos such as Monero, Zcash, PIVX, etc. | ||
| will retain its value and possibly be used as the main currency? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| I'm not particularly bullish on them, necessarily, because there's too many different ones. | ||
| And they're based on a system that we're spoiled with. | ||
| We have to remember, what if the internet goes down? | ||
| What if electricity goes out? | ||
| You know, even if it's for a little bit, if that's your main source of currency, what are you going to do? | ||
| You know? | ||
| If you've got nothing— A personal-handled device, but if electricity goes out— Yeah, exactly. | ||
| What are you going to do? | ||
| Challenging. | ||
| Grow food. | ||
| That's the true currency for the future. | ||
| If this does hit the fan. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No one cares. | ||
| Thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Eman Bell says, I've watched about every video you've put out every day for the last year, but I've never had one appear in my up next feed. | ||
| Oh, they got rid of it. | ||
| Yeah, it doesn't. | ||
| They, they, they pulled me out. | ||

| Lior Engelstein says, my two cents. | ||
| Some good changes that I hope will come from this. | ||
| One, manufacturing moving away from China. | ||
| Two, bonds bought by China will not be paid by the world, not just USA. | ||
| Oh man, that would be brutal for them. | ||
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| The Moen says, Soy Jesus and Lydia, can you talk your position on private ownership of guns? | ||
| And Tim, are you now considering purchasing a gun? | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Well, I don't own a gun, but I wish I did. | ||
| I want to get one. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| What do you think about gun control? | ||
| I think you should be vetted, and if you're clear, you should get a gun. | ||
| Background checks? | ||
| Yeah, why not? | ||
| They just shut them down. | ||
| You can't buy one now. | ||
| Yeah, that's all they have to do is say, oh, oh gosh, background checks aren't working. | ||
| This is what they did with pot. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In the turn of the century, they said, okay, we won't ban the sale of pot, but you need to buy from the government approved stamps for the purchase of the pot. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But we don't sell stamps anymore. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's the loophole. | ||
| Because everyone says, oh, that's no big deal. | ||
| So I'm actually in favor of background checks. | ||
| Not anymore. | ||
| For this reason. | ||
| I mean, you just pointed out. | ||
| I don't want any government to have control over if I can get one or not. | ||
| Because I would like to go get one. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| If they're going to say, I'm sorry, we're not doing it right now because we don't do background checks anymore. | ||
| Forever. | ||
| And it's like, okay, I'm going to have an issue with that. | ||
| This pandemic stuff has pushed me right on several issues, notably like 2A. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you know, initially, I was always fairly tepid on most things. | ||
| I lean a little to the left. | ||
| I've always been like, background checks make sense. | ||
| It just does. | ||
| It does. | ||
| And I even went and did an interview with this weapons trainer for local police, and he's a top-tier shooting competitor. | ||
| And he said we got problems with non-nationalized, like, non-uniform background checks. | ||
| Like, you can go to one state and in a short amount of time actually get a gun, and then you can take it to another state where you can't have it. | ||
| It's like, you can't have these rules. | ||
| They don't make sense. | ||
| There's a lot of problems with it. | ||
| Like, if you're a legal gun owner and you drive through the wrong state on a vacation, you can't do it. | ||
| You'll go to prison. | ||
| So there's got to be something uniform everyone can understand, and we make sure that crazy people can't try and source guns from other areas. | ||
| One of the things they do in Chicago is there will be people, because the Indiana border's right there, someone from Indiana will buy it and then mark it up, like they'll give it to the guy from Chicago illegally. | ||
| So there's issues. | ||
| The problem now is after seeing these arguments where it's like, hey, it makes sense, you should be able to do that, what happened? | ||
| In a major crisis where now, more than ever, people are realizing they need self-defense, the government just goes, oh, by the way, we're not gonna process background checks anymore. | ||
| Effectively illegalizing the purchase of all guns. | ||
| Yeah, that's not okay. | ||
| Right, and you even see some governors trying to shut down gun shops. | ||
| That's nuts to me. | ||
| You can see how much power they try and grab as soon as the crisis starts, and because of that desperate attempt at power, it makes me recoil in the other direction, like, nah, now I'm very much like, mm-mm, nope. | ||
| I feel like that's happening a lot. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| On a lot of things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Dude, on immigration, conservatives have been proven right. | ||
| Not, like, I don't want to say, like, in every aspect of it, because there's a lot of people who are very extreme on it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But Trump trying to secure the borders? | ||
| Now more than ever, we know why it's important to do. | ||
| And they try and claim, like, but a wall won't stop a virus. | ||
| No, but it'll stop the people from illegally entering who have the virus. | ||
| Yeah, it's not a simple thing. | ||
| Ten years ago, Democrats were all in favor of border barriers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Interesting. | |
| As soon as Trump says it, they're like, not for me anymore. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But what about you? | ||
| You were asked as well what you think on 2A. | ||
| I'm pretty strongly 2A. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| All right, well, there you go. There you go. | ||
| June F says Division two still waiting on that Minecraft stream. | ||
| Oh, yeah. Alex, thanks for the super chat. | ||

| John Monk says, the military is going to have a huge outbreak soon. | ||
| Yikes. | ||
| Yeah, that sucks. | ||
| The military is going to have a huge outbreak soon. | ||
| Necroside says, for the Tylenol thing, my sister works as an RN at one of our major local hospitals and was officially warned about ibuprofen use and the use of Tylenol instead. | ||
| Ibuprofen increases cytokines. | ||
| Is that how you say it? | ||
| Yeah, it's called a cytokine storm. | ||
| Ah. | ||
| It's an immune response. | ||
| Yikes. | ||
| So, avoid ibuprofen? | ||
| Well, ask your doctor. | ||
| Don't get advice from your commentary shows. | ||
| That was a question that I was asking. | ||
| TheLegendaryMasamune says, Hey guys, love the podcast. | ||
| I was curious to ask. | ||
| I have YouTube Premium, but for some reason these streams, and even the recorded version you put up, I can't play with my phone locked while working. | ||
| Do you know why this is? | ||
| I don't, because I can. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know either. | ||
| Yeah, when I open the app and I press play on the show, I can close my phone and it works. | ||
| Some people are having problems with this and I have no idea. | ||
| YouTube is just crazy. | ||
| I've never been able to close my phone and have it work. | ||
| If you have premium, you can. | ||
| Oh, I see. | ||
| It's a special feature. | ||

Interesting. | |
| Alright, let's see. | ||
| Exquisite Corp says, why not do a contest for us to design your beanies? | ||
| Well, because, you know, to make the beanie legit, we can't have too much on it. | ||
| It's got to be very simple. | ||
| I have a pretty solid idea of what I want. | ||
| So, there might be a few things with just a couple of his catchphrases. | ||
| Maybe just like a soy Jesus. | ||
| So a soy Jesus one? | ||
| I'm just kidding, I don't know. | ||
| Well, who knows? | ||
| Well, maybe you make one. | ||
| I don't know if people want a soy Jesus beanie. | ||
| I'm sure they would. | ||
| You gotta buy both. | ||
| Collect them all. | ||
| And every month we'll put like a one slash, you know, like limited edition pressing. | ||
| Legit designer beanies. | ||
| Tovin says, and now you know why small government is paramount to maintain your freedoms. | ||
| Oh, you know it, baby. | ||
| Small government. | ||
| AJ Starhiker, I know a guy who will not drive to Chicago because he won't leave his gun behind. | ||
| He's also an instructor for competitive shooting and they have to be careful about traveling to tourneys. | ||
| Beetle, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Travis Potter says, Soy Jesus, what do you think about hunting? | ||
| Is it more respectable when someone takes part in the entire process of getting meat instead of paying for the murder? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| I actually have nothing against hunters. | ||
| People that go out and kill the animal themselves and harvest it themselves, like, alright, you're living off the land. | ||
| All right. | ||
| You're not paying someone else to do it. | ||
| You don't know where it came from, but if you're a hunter, more power to you. | ||
| I'm sure there's vegans out there that are hating me for that, but that's fine. | ||
| Well, there are health vegans. | ||
| They do it for the health. | ||
| There's some that do it for animal rights. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And I do it for me. | ||
| I'm not doing it for anyone else. | ||
| Sure, I talk about it, but I think it's relevant in certain situations. | ||
| But if you're going out to the woods and you're taking the time to find an animal and hunt it yourself and you're harvesting it yourself, That's how humans have done it for a long time. | ||
| And hunting is important to control populations. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I lived in Chicago for a while, and there's places where the deer would overrun some areas, and they needed hunters to go take the deer out. | ||
| So if you're gonna just go kill deer for no reason, just because, it's like, okay. | ||
| But if you're going out there and you're actually helping and, you know, feeding your, like, one deer can feed, you know, a lot of people that you need. | ||
| Oh, I knew it due to a deer. | ||
| It was crazy. | ||
| Yeah, it's like, you know what? | ||
| There's a reason why there's a season for it and why it's regulated and stuff. | ||
| Yeah, they do regulate it very well. | ||
| So AJ's comment about driving through Chicago, I wanted to mention, I actually met a dude | ||
| who was driving through Chicago, driving through Illinois. | ||
| He had guns in his trunk, got pulled over, struck the vehicle, prison. | ||
| Prison. | ||
|

|
Dang. | |
| Yep. | ||
| He was passing through, he's from LA or something, and he was like, they're mine, and they were like, doesn't matter. | ||
| There was a woman from I think Tennessee with a legal permit for a revolver. | ||
| She went to the Sears Tower, now Willis Tower, as a tourist. | ||
| She's an old lady, she's like 63. | ||
| And when she was going in, there was a metal detector, and she said, oh, can I leave my weapon here? | ||
| And they were like, prison. | ||
| And she got prison time. | ||
| Hard prison for an old woman who was from Tennessee who was legally owning a weapon. | ||
| That's insane. | ||

| Right, yeah. | ||
| Oh, well, I appreciate that. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And now, for some non-world-ending, non-political, fun news. | ||
| Oh, thank, thank the soy. | ||
| Good news for lazy joggers! | ||
| That makes no sense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good news, everyone! | |
| Scientists develop ankle exoskeleton that makes running 14% easier than in normal sports shoes. | ||
| So apparently, Nike Shoes funded this research, and they developed some kind of exo-Iron Man type... Look at this. | ||
| It begins. | ||
| It begins. | ||
| This is the start. | ||
| So here's the thing. | ||
| Oh, this is cool. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| I want to run faster. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know, right? | |
| Let me tell you the thing. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| There's the thing. | ||
| Another beanie idea. | ||
| What makes Iron Man, Tony Stark, a superhero is that he as one person developed all of these things very, very quickly. | ||
| Right. | ||
| We, in real life... In a cave. | ||
| Well, no, no, no. | ||
| He made a weird, bonkers suit. | ||
| The first Iron Man, I know. | ||
| Right, he did, but it was like a crappy suit. | ||
| He went home, and he was like... So what do we have right now? | ||
| We got a guy who can fly, and now we got a guy who can run. | ||
| We gotta bring these things together, and then we're gonna have the real suit. | ||
| But let's be honest, like, if you wore an Iron Man suit, and someone hit you with, like, a mortar shell, You're gonna die. | ||
| I don't know what his suit's made of. | ||
| There's that scene in the first one where he's flying and the tank fires the artillery shell. | ||
| In every Iron Man, he gets shot against the wall and it's just like, boom! | ||
| I'm okay. | ||
| I'm okay. | ||
| It's like, well, what about your brain? | ||
| Your brain is still sitting in fluid and if it hits the back, you're gonna get a concussion. | ||
| I just assume that Iron Man has some kind of maglev-like force field that absorbs... Force-dampening adamantium. | ||
| Oh, inertial dampeners. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| Like in Star Trek. | ||
| Yeah, the inertial dampener. | ||
| So check this out. | ||
| How the ankle exoskeleton works. | ||
| Now, it's just the ankle, so the story is kind of a letdown, but it's still pretty cool. | ||
| We can run better. | ||
| I actually bought these things. | ||
| They were advertised to me on Instagram. | ||
| They're these spring-loaded knee braces. | ||
| Oh man, I've seen those. | ||
| They don't work. | ||
| I heard that they didn't work. | ||
| Because it's it creates a weird obstruction in your knee when you bend them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it just feels weird. | ||
| It actually does. | ||
| It feels worse. | ||
| But the idea is interesting. | ||
| So there are these things that you strap them onto your knees and in the back there's a spring and it's like plastic. | ||
| And then when it bends, it resists. | ||
| All I can think is that you're an Instagram sucker. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| I buy so much stuff off Instagram to give you an idea. | ||
| They have cool ads, dude. | ||
| Look at that UFO. | ||
| The UFO thing is from Instagram? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Switch to us. | ||
| That UFO I saw on Instagram. | ||
| It took a long time to get here, too. | ||
| It's pretty cool. | ||
| We forgot about it, and then it turned up, and we were like, oh my goodness. | ||
| It's a lamp? | ||
| I gotta be honest, though. | ||
| I like the globe better. | ||
| No, I like the UFO better. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| We should have a vote. | ||
| Not look at it. | ||
| It's obviously there's two against one, but I'm talking about you guys out there What do you think we should the globe or the UFO? | ||
| Shout out in the comments at me at me in the comments if you want the globe and then If you look at that you like the UFO that is cool. | ||
| It's floating. | ||
| Yes spinning. | ||
| Yes, it can play music Yeah, I read it's a speaker, and it's charging while it's floating That's awesome I'm not saying it's not cool. | ||
|

|
Anyway, back to the exoskeletons. | |
| So, let's see, they say couch potatoes trying to get in shape could one day be helped along their fitness journey by an ankle exoskeleton that makes it easier and less tiring to run. | ||
| Okay, I'm gonna stop you right there. | ||
| If you don't like running, don't do it. | ||
| It's not going to make you run. | ||
| Listen. | ||
| That's what I was thinking. | ||
| You've got to develop good habits. | ||
| No one's going to run with these if they don't like running. | ||
| If you don't like running, you're not going to run. | ||
| Ever. | ||
| You know what I like? | ||
| Skateboarding. | ||
| I actually do like running because there is a point where you kind of get the endorphins running and you go into like this spacey cloud space and it's actually pretty great. | ||
| I like free running. | ||
| But I do like skating over running. | ||
| So here's the thing. | ||
| I'm going to always go skate instead. | ||
| Doing something you don't want to do is very difficult and you need community support to get into something. | ||
| So like, if you're somebody who wants, if you're a lazy couch potato and you want to get into running, find some people to run with and hang out with them. | ||
| And you need to build that community. | ||
| For me, skateboarding is a very solitary thing. | ||
| I skate because I want to. | ||
| Some people skate because they want to be with their friends. | ||
| But when I go out, I'm not like, it's time to exercise. | ||
| We're going to go skate. | ||
| No, it's like, I want to skate. | ||
| I just so happen to be getting exercise. | ||
| So, what are the real benefits of this exoskeleton? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Military capabilities? | ||
| Nah. | ||
| You don't think so? | ||
| It has potential. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| 14% energy reduction? | ||
| Because the military is gonna use robots. | ||
| They're not leaning to make humans go out there with, like, super suits to run faster. | ||
| This is just someone who, you know, is coming up with something that's, you know, it is kinda cool. | ||
| But what's the application to this? | ||
| It's not going to be the military. | ||
| The military wants robots. | ||
| They don't want to lose humans. | ||
| That's why they're studying gamers' brains. | ||
| They're studying people who control, like, StarCraft. | ||
| Kind of like, you know, sending masses and understanding the flow of battle to do robots, not superhumans. | ||
| That's not happening. | ||
| I'm actually a bit bummed. | ||
| Apparently these tethers are, like, mounted to motors that go into your suit. | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| This is, you know, this is the start. | ||
| Right, so maybe they'll wear a backpack at some point, but the other thing is, what they're arguing, like, they're saying, you know, eventually a version will be created to help runners on a treadmill save an average of 24% more energy. | ||
| For what? | ||
| I thought the goal of running on a treadmill was to burn energy. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| What is the point of this? | ||
| This feels like wasted research. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| What's the point of this? | ||
| What's the reason? | ||
| If we can make simple exosuits to increase... There was one guy. | ||
| He's got one. | ||
| It's a hydraulic suit. | ||
| And he was able to lift ridiculously heavy things with it. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| So that makes sense to me. | ||
| Yeah, so that has some applications. | ||
| Outside, just simply running. | ||
| It's like hydraulic bars with like a hook at the end and he would like hook it around stuff and then lift like, you know, 100, 200 pound weights. | ||
| Dope. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Well, this makes it so you can run. | ||
| You can save energy when you run. | ||
| We're running what maybe you got a job and you got to run maybe you're uh, oh, yeah, maybe you're what job? | ||
| What's who's who's the guy who ran the marathon? | ||
| They're gonna allow this in a marathon. | ||
| Oh, yeah, exactly. | ||
| I remember that guy What's the origin of the marathon who did it? | ||
| I don't know The marathon originated because some dude had to run 26 miles or something in ancient Rome. | ||
| And then he ran as fast as he could to deliver this message. | ||
| Oh, that's right. | ||
| One of the gods had the wings on his feet. | ||
| Was that him? | ||
| Mercury? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hermes? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Different names. | ||
| But that's like the story of the marathon or whatever. | ||
| No idea. | ||
| Let's like, but let's look, there are people who have to run in certain environments. | ||
| Why, right now we don't have Boston and MX style robots to go and fight. | ||
| Yeah, you know what? | ||
| The people who are in civilizations that need to run are super fit. | ||
| Their muscles are used to running. | ||
| And they're like, oh yeah, running in the store. | ||
| It would take more time for me to be strapped up in this stuff to then go there. | ||
| I could just run and get there and get the thing and come back before you're even, you're like halfway there. | ||
| Even though you run faster, you still gotta, I don't know, just like. | ||
| What are we talking about? | ||
| This is like Iron Man stuff. | ||
| It's like level one. | ||
| We're just getting started, baby. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I just want to see some real applications. | ||
| You ever see Mario Brothers, the movie? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Remember when they put those things on their legs and make them jump really high? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That wouldn't work, but what if it could? | ||
| I mean, it's the same thing we talked about earlier. | ||
| You fly up real high, and you fall and die. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| It's like, we're human! | ||
| Well, so, but here's the idea though. | ||
| The idea is that you have these things on your legs that have stored energy in like a spring or some kind of, you know, I don't know, piston, I have no idea. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And right when you jump, it releases at the same time, giving you an extended jump. | ||
| When you land, it absorbs energy and compresses it back down and clicks in. | ||
| Sure, okay. | ||
| But if you mess up... If you mess up? | ||
| You'll be flipping and going like... Or hitting somebody, running into something. | ||
| But hey man, look. | ||
| That's a mess. | ||
| I've seen football players just running and then they tear their ACL. | ||
| But I've also seen the stupidity of humans. | ||
| Very prevalent as of late. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| And people will have access to this kind of thing. | ||
| They'll be like bouncing around. | ||
| Do you know the story of Spring-Heeled Jack? | ||
| Spring-Heeled Jack is an entity in English folklore of the Victorian era. | ||
| The first claimed sighting of Spring-Heeled Jack was in 1837. | ||
| There are many theories about the nature and identity of Spring-Heeled Jack, the urban legend that was very popular in its time, due to the tales of his bizarre appearance and ability to make extraordinary leaps, to the point that he became the topic of several works of fiction. | ||
| Spring-Heeled Jack was described by people who claimed to have seen him as having a terrifying and frightful appearance, with diabolical physiognomy, clawed hands, and eyes that resembled red balls of fire. | ||
| One report claimed that beneath a black cloak, he wore a helmet and a tight-fitting white garment like an oil skin. | ||
| Many stories also mentioned a devil-like aspect. | ||
| Others said he was tall and thin, with the appearance of a gentleman. | ||
| Several reports mentioned that he could breathe out blue and white flames. | ||
| Okay, this is just getting absurd. | ||
| Yeah, wasn't opium really heavy back then? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was. | |
| I see it. | ||
| I see it. | ||
| People are on crazy drugs. | ||
| Pretty sure people were drinking at that time. | ||
| Look, mass hysteria. | ||
| Put it right there. | ||
| So, my general understanding of why they call him Spring-Heeled Jack was that the assumption was he had some kind of things in his boots and he could jump really high. | ||
| And there were stories that he would be being chased and then he would just jump on top of a building. | ||
| Have you ever seen, uh, what's that movie? | ||
| Uh, Brothers Grimm, I think it is? | ||
| No. | ||
| I think it's Heath Ledger and Matt Damon, yeah. | ||
| And they just, like, they're the Grimm brothers who, like, kill the demons or whatever, and it's all a hoax. | ||
| They got, like, springboards set up to, like, convince the people that they're doing these amazing things, but it's all just, like, smoke and mirrors. | ||
| That's the reality of ninjas, you know that? | ||
| Is it? | ||
| I didn't know that. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| I'm not a ninja expert, but I have read one or two Reddit articles when they popped up, and I was reading how they would try to create the perception of having magic powers, so people would avoid fighting them. | ||
| So one of the things they would do is, before, like, they're assassins, right? | ||
| They wouldn't dress in all black. | ||
| That's from, like, theater. | ||
| They would wear regular clothes of regular people so they could blend in. | ||
| Makes sense. | ||
| But let's say there was like a building and they had to assassinate somebody. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| They would prepare for the escape. | ||
| So in the pond, in the lake next to it, they would put wooden beams. | ||
| And then after they assassinated their target and were fleeing and being chased. | ||
| They would run across the lake. | ||
| They would run across the lake and people would stop and be like, demons. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| When they were really just jumping from log to log. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it was all about trickery and deception. | ||
| Well, not always, but that's one of the things they would do. | ||
| You create, you know, so maybe this spring-heeled jack-eye was just some dude who pre-set. | ||
| Maybe it was a board on the ground in the spring, and he would run and hit it, and it would bounce him in the air, and they'd be like, how did he do that? | ||
| Not realizing. | ||
| Like, whoa! | ||
| He's spring-heeled! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I dig the old urban legend. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's like jumping around. | ||
| He's like the original Batman. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Yeah, for real. | ||
| Look at this guy. | ||
| That's very cool. | ||
| He looks kind of flamboyant. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| It's his tight white pants. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| It's literally the Batman and the Joker together. | ||
| Look at his smile. | ||
| It kind of does. | ||
| Look at his face. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| You know how I got these scars? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| My boots. | ||
| I jumped really high and fell down onto a fence post. | ||
| Right in his mouth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh gosh. | |
| uh... | ||
| well anyway i don't know any final thoughts on the uh... | ||
| the coming uh... | ||
| that's the wrong story any final thoughts on the coming | ||
| All I can think is the beanies are coming soon. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| I'm so stoked. | ||
| Don't buy spring heels. | ||
| Don't buy exoskeleton suits. | ||
| Buy beanies. | ||
| Beanies for all. | ||
| Beanies for some. | ||
| Have you wanted to become a beanie bro? | ||
| Well, soon you'll have your chance. | ||
|
unidentified
|
With TimCast IRL Beanies. | |
| Coming to you soon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Soon, yes. | ||
| Yes, yes. | ||
| And these are going to be, like, made in America. | ||
| Made in America. | ||
| Hand-packaged by Triggler himself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I'm doing this. | ||
| Soy Jesus magic. | ||
| Soy Jesus. | ||
| I'll even sign them for you. | ||
| Yeah, maybe. | ||
| No, we should put, like, little cards in, too, and stuff like that. | ||
| And, like, make it a little package. | ||
| Some commons. | ||
| You know what we should do? | ||
| No, we should make, like, gag magic cards. | ||
| OK. | ||
| I mean, the beanies can come with magic cards. | ||
| Oh, my gosh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a great idea. | |
| Oh, fun. | ||
| Like, silly. | ||
| I'm thinking of a game. | ||
| Like you, me. | ||
| Oh, right. | ||
| Maybe we should make cancel culture cards. | ||
| Well, I mean, I guess we can kind of let people know we're working on it. | ||
| Everybody knows we're working on it. | ||
| Oh, they do? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I've talked about it a lot. | ||
| Yeah, we talked about it on the show. | ||
| Oh, sure. | ||
| All the time. | ||
| We're working on a card game. | ||
| It's called Cancel Culture. | ||
| Yeah, we're working on a game. | ||
| And the goal of the... It's a card game. | ||
| It's going to be simplified. | ||
| We're trying to work out ways to stop it from becoming a rich person's game, like a lot of games, even Pokemon Magic. | ||
| Cards become ridiculously expensive. | ||
| We're getting rid of all that. | ||
| We want a game where you can pop up in the box, and you can play with your friends, and it's really funny, because the goal of the game is that you are trying to cancel your opponent. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Cancel culture, baby. | ||
| So it's basically just a bunch of pop culture references, and the gag is, you know, you'll have a character who's like Peter Jordanson fighting against, you know, Rojogin. | ||
| Rojogin or Wet Brinestein. | ||
| I mean, those are really, really poorly thought out gag names. | ||
| But we're working on, like, making a very silly parody. | ||
| Everyone will get torn apart. | ||
| No one is safe. | ||
| I will say. | ||
| Toilet Girl is a thing. | ||
| And that's the goal for the expansions, is to actually just make, like, when stories come out and there's viral moments, we'll make cards for these things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So, I wanna say one thing about it. | ||
| We're gonna make fun of everybody. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| We're gonna make fun of me. | ||
| We're gonna make fun of feminists. | ||
| Everyone will get torn apart. | ||
| No one will be spared. | ||
| But of course, I guarantee you, one side of this is going to laugh at all of the mockery. | ||
| And the other side is gonna say it's bigotry and it's sexist and it's, you know, all the awful things. | ||
| It's alt-right or whatever. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| We're channeling our inner George Carlin. | ||
| I also want to design a chess set. | ||
| A culture war chess set. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Where the pawns on one side are a bunch of, like, fat neckbeards with katanas and, like, fedoras and dusters. | ||
| And then the pawns on the other side are big fat mohawk feminists. | ||
| And, like, just make, like, a chess board for the culture war would be funny. | ||
| I'll leave that to you. | ||
| But we are working on a card game. | ||
| It's gonna be really fun. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| To simplify what we're trying to do is, it's just gonna be pop culture. | ||
| So it'll be really funny to have Kathy Griffin, you know, trying to get Joe Rogan banned from the internet, and you're going at it. | ||
| And like, you know, things like that. | ||
| Just silliness, parody, making fun of people, making fun of this whole culture war stuff. | ||
| Yep, we're working on it now, it's coming. | ||
| So, uh, well, we'll see how long it takes, you know. | ||
| We do a lot of things, but maybe soon. | ||
| So, uh, let's just grab the last few Super Chats, and then we will sign off for the night, but for now we're still here, so make sure you hit that like button. | ||
| Subscribe and hit the notification bell if you haven't already, and get your superchats in because we're gonna be about 10 more minutes. | ||
| So let's see what we got. | ||
| AJ says, my hometown had a special bow hunt season to handle both deer and turkey overpopulation. | ||
| We had, what's a group of turkeys called? | ||
|
unidentified
|
A rafter. | |
| A rafter of turkeys in front of our house. | ||
| Oh really? | ||
| Yeah, a lot. | ||
| It was like, what, like 10 or 12? | ||
| Yeah, you sent me a picture. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gobbling about. | |
| I was like, why is this happening? | ||
| I can hear, because of Red Dead Redemption 2, I can hear the warble. | ||
| Of a turkey. | ||
| Have you ever seen that video where the guy pulls up to all the turkeys and then goes, and then all the turkeys yell back? | ||
| No, but it is kind of funny to think about how many animals I've killed in that game. | ||
| And I'm a vegan. | ||
| It's just like every time I'm like, oh yeah, perfect corpse. | ||
| It's gonna make me so much money. | ||
| Jmax says, My buddy in the AF had corona-like symptoms, and his PCM said it was most likely a cold or allergies and sent him back to the shop. | ||
| It's just anecdotal experience, but some military doctors are not competent trained enough to handle this pandemic if it hits our bases hard. | ||
| Yikes, man. | ||
| I will also mention real quick, too, before we sign off, make sure you follow us. | ||
| You can follow me there. | ||
| You can follow Adam up there. | ||
| Hey, follow me right there. | ||
| That's me. | ||
| That's my tag. | ||
| And you can send Adam story ideas and stuff. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And we've actually picked up some of them and talked about them. | ||
| It's also true. | ||
| Gundanium says, do you think the supply chain, such as truck drivers, are at risk of severe infection by asymptomatic carriers through truck shops and travel? | ||
| Yes, of course. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, a lot of travel makes the spread, you know? | ||
| Graboid says, I disagree with you on a lot of stuff, but at the same time, you are constant with your views. | ||
| That is one reason I respect you and watch your channels. | ||
| But to be fair, people's views change. | ||
| If you go back a couple years, you might see me complaining about guns. | ||
| I'm gonna be like, no, I think we should definitely have gun control for these reasons. | ||
| And then for reasons I've explained today, I've definitely moved right on the issue. | ||
| It's funny because Joe Rogan's definitely to the left of me economically, but to the right of me a lot on 2A. | ||
| And now I'm coming around on 2A, but I'm not as far left as him in economics. | ||
| And people can change. | ||
| People can change their minds. | ||
| And evolve. | ||
| Especially when you're dealing with a real crisis, and you start to understand why Trump was right about the threat of China, why he was right about national borders, why he was right about manufacturing, and now we're getting hit with it at the last minute, and you're like, damn. | ||
| Yeah, we should have been on this sooner, huh? | ||
| So I can respect that. | ||
| I still do have criticisms for him, of course. | ||
| Sean R says, can we finally see the Invisible Girl? | ||
| Well, funny thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I ordered a camera. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| And one of the annoying things about it is that Google ads then start showing nothing but it. | ||
| So you may have noticed on the other show, there were a bunch of ads for skate ramps and stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's so annoying. | ||
| It's like, dude, I bought the thing. | ||
| I already bought it. | ||
| You don't need to advertise it to me again. | ||
| You succeeded. | ||
| Stop. | ||
| Or if you want to buy more. | ||
| No. | ||
| Yeah, I guess. | ||
| The same thing again. | ||
| So we do have a camera coming, but the problem is It's not a set. | ||
| It's like she's at the production table handling camera stuff, so we have to actually set stuff up. | ||
| Like, this is set design stuff that Adam did, so you'll get to it. | ||
| Deplorabology says, we need to stop obeying unconstitutional laws, or we need to figure out how to deal with it because so many things are unconstitutional for sure. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| PurpleNerd says, do both, nerds. | ||
| I don't know what both is a reference to, sorry. | ||
| Maybe the globe and the UFO. | ||
| Oh, right. | ||
| So I said to give them equal table time. | ||
| Where can we put... It's hard. | ||
| The UFO is just so much cooler. | ||
| I'm sorry, man. | ||
| It's just... You know what? | ||
| It would be kind of cool if we superimposed, like, had it sitting in a spot that it looked like the UFO was landing on the globe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| And the globe is spinning and the things are... You know what I mean? | ||
| We gotta use perspective. | ||
| Forced perspective. | ||
| I mean, we do have a lot of space here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And it's not like we have a guest. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Forced perspective, huh? | ||
| Yeah, it'd be good. | ||
| Oh, and it's like it's beaming up. | ||
| That's, I guess, what it's supposed to be. | ||
| Yep, that was what I was going for. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Trinidad says, if you allow community design beanies, good luck with the flood of 4chan designs with plenty of 55 and eggplants. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Hey, it's gotta be Timcast related. | ||
| I mean, I'll take designs in if they make me laugh. | ||
| I'm not upset by that. | ||
| We're not going to sell them. | ||
| We're definitely going to do that with TC. | ||
| That's pretty dope. | ||
| I like that a lot. | ||
| With like a DC logo, but TC. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| Deplora Biology says, cops aren't human. | ||
| No, they are. | ||
| Yes, they are. | ||
| But there are a lot of issues, I definitely think, with the culture for sure. | ||
| I've met really cool cops and I've met really nasty cops. | ||
| It's a culture issue. | ||
| It's a spectrum. | ||
| They are all out there. | ||
| All different types. | ||
| Spupper says, Alabama has doubled their confirmed cases in 24 hours. | ||
| Oh, yeah, boy. | ||
| It's getting crazy. | ||
| What does it say? | ||
| I try to be rational says, Ferguson Imperial Colonel predicted deaths have been revised from 510,000 to less than 20k. | ||
| This is not true. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| The apocalyptic numbers are all wrong. | ||
| Many experts warned of this error. | ||
| It's not true, I'm sorry. | ||
| So this guy in, I think he's in the UK, what he said after the fact, and maybe it's true, maybe he's not trying to backpedal, but what he said was, based on social distancing and the measures that are being implemented now, the projection is 20,000 dead. | ||
| If we do nothing, it's half a million. | ||
| A bunch of people started saying, hey, I thought this guy said it was gonna be half a million, now he's saying it's 20. | ||
| So then he came out with a Twitter thread saying, no, no, no, I'm saying that if we do nothing, it'll be 500K, and if we do everything like we're doing now, it'll be 20. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That's what he said. | ||
| I like the lower number. | ||
| If we're going to have to choose. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Ethan Johansson said, Calving, uh, calving season on the farm. | ||
| At least my quarantine is full of cute calves running around everywhere. | ||
| Beef prices in the toilet, by the way. | ||
| Dawn, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And then where are we at? | ||
| Oh man, there we go. | ||
| Fallen Snow Wolf says, some get a high from running. | ||
| UFO hovering over the globe. | ||
| I got a high from biking. | ||
| I get a high from running. | ||
| When I used to ride my bike like five miles to work from Brooklyn to Manhattan. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And going over the, it was the, I think the Williamsburg Bridge. | ||
| It's oxygen. | ||
| You're opening up your lungs and you're getting a lot of oxygen in the blood. | ||
| No, it was the Manhattan Bridge. | ||
| It's like a high. | ||
| I would cross the Manhattan Bridge every day, and that's a brutal climb on a bike, and I would just... And then by the time I got to the top, I was like... Like it was just like... Just like, fly down? | ||
| Yeah, but then like... Euphoric, man. | ||
| Williamsburg Bridge, that was my jam. | ||
| I loved skating down it. | ||
| Skating up and over. | ||
| Dude, that bridge is fun, I love it. | ||
| Lots of good times there. | ||
| Not a banned account says, as a Democrat, will you do your part and vote Joe? | ||
| I don't consider myself a Democrat. | ||
| So no, I would never vote for that man. | ||
| Joe Biden? | ||
| No. | ||
| Joe Rogan? | ||
| Joe Rogan, yes. | ||
| Oh yeah, sure. | ||
| Rogan, I'd vote for him. | ||
| Shun says, the fall boots from a portal of the game. | ||
| You can fall from high altitudes without breaking your bones. | ||
| I think these are the prototypes to that. | ||
| That'd be cool. | ||
| Angry Bellsprout says, isn't it ironic that the resist fascism and ban the fash crowd are the ones demanding the government force people into their homes? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| About that. | ||
| It's funny, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Chris, thanks for coming to member. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Rob Duper says, the suit would be good for someone with physical limitations. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| See, there you go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| What is it? | ||
| I don't know what else. | ||
| I know about the white rabbit. | ||
| Wink. | ||
| Yes, I totally agree. | ||
| I know about the white rabbit. Wink. David Marcella says you're thinking too small with the exoskeleton. Think about | ||
| disabled people. Yes, I totally agree. I did not see that. | ||
| David says I have 85% left side paralysis. | ||
| This could help someone like me. | ||
| Absolutely, that's cool. | ||
| Dude, for my stroke patients, this would be a freaking godsend. | ||
| It would paralyze people. | ||
| Are you kidding? | ||
| Well, it's like, it's War Machine, you know? | ||
| In Civil War, when War Machine breaks his spine or whatever, and then he gets the XO stuff to help him walk. | ||
| Oh yeah, that's right. | ||
| It was a really cool line in Endgame when War Machine is with Nebula and she's like a robot and she reaches her hand in the thing and pulls the orb out and her hand's all burned. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And she looks at him and says, I wasn't always like this. | ||
| And he says, me neither. | ||
| And I was like, oh, that's cool, man. | ||
| You know, but I was referring to the running faster part of it. | ||
| It's like, that's what that was for. | ||
| I think it's cool. | ||
| Well, no, it was saving energy. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Running more. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Well, I was reading it that they can run 14% faster and it's like... No, they save 40% of their energy. | ||
| Oh, you're saving more energy. | ||
| So you can run 40% more. | ||
| Ah, okay, okay. | ||
| Star Wars Guy says, Hago, Damask, and Chief Palpatine 2024. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Great. | ||
| But he's the Senate. | ||
| I don't know if he can run for the president. | ||
| Cord Funk says, 100%. | ||
| You don't gotta just defend a bad idea. | ||
| Yep, you can change your mind. | ||
| It's okay. | ||
| That's the crazy thing. | ||
| If someone's like, here, Tim, here's why this is wrong, I'll go, I did not realize that. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's so freeing. | |
| So it's like when the background check thing happened, I was like, is that for real? | ||
| They shut it down. | ||
| I was like, whoa. | ||
| Not cool. | ||
| We can't have background checks if we're gonna do this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I think I was talking to like Crowder about it too. | ||
| And I think he brought stuff up like this and I didn't understand it. | ||
| The real thing is people need to learn how to drop their pride. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know what, man? | |
| I mean, sticking to it. | ||
| Like, well, no, I've been saying this for so long, so I gotta stick to my guns. | ||
| It's like, well, if you realize you're wrong, drop your pride, and people will respect you more. | ||
| How else do you improve yourself? | ||
| Yeah, like, we've been talking about these people that are doing these stupid things, and then coming out a couple days later going, you know what? | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I was stupid. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I didn't think about this. | ||
| And you're like, good on you. | ||
| It's skateboarding, man. | ||
| When I try a trick and it's not working, I stop and think, what am I doing wrong? | ||
| I'm doing something wrong. | ||
| I have to change what I'm doing. | ||
| That's it, everyone. | ||
| Learn how to skateboard. | ||
| Dude, I landed a nollie varial heel flip, nollie backside flip today. | ||
| And I was having a hard time with nollie varial heel flips. | ||
| And I was like, what am I not getting? | ||
| So I changed the way I positioned everything. | ||
| So there's like, they tell you, here's how you should put your feet if you're going to do this one trick. | ||
| And I was like, nah, I'm going to put them how I just feel like it right now. | ||
| I'm going to ignore everybody else and I'm going to figure it out. | ||
| And then boom, I landed three in a row. | ||
| Felt good. | ||
| He did. | ||
| It was so cool. | ||
| It's not like the hardest trick in the world. | ||
| It's like a fairly, you know, basic, you know, it's like, it's like, I guess, technically advanced level. | ||
| It's not basic. | ||
| Get out of here. | ||
| Get out of here, dude. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| No, get out of here. | ||
|

|
What? | |
| Those are way beyond basic. | ||
| It's not like I did like nollie varial heel late flip revert or something. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| But a nollie backside flip felt good. | ||
| Those who don't know how to skateboard are like, what is he talking about? | ||
| Yeah, it's jargon. | ||
| Those who are average skateboarders are like, that's not an easy trick. | ||
| I disagree. | ||
| Yeah, because you've been skating for 20 years. | ||
| Longer, no. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| AJ says, opinion changes happen, but there's usually logical progression or trigger for a flip. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| I hope there's logical progression. | ||
| Yeah, seriously. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alright, let's see. | ||
| Plague Runner says, hello non-sick people. | ||
| I am coming for you. | ||
| No, you're not. | ||

No, no, no. | |
| No, no, no. | ||
| Caleb says UFO. | ||
| Oh, there it is. | ||
| UFO wins. | ||
| I think UFO did win. | ||
| Did it really? | ||
| But I don't know if it's people that didn't know about the globe. | ||
| There's also people going, what globe? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| Are you claiming that there's voter suppression? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah, that's what I'm hearing. | ||
| That's exactly it. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Conspiracy! | ||
| Mr. Paul R. says, treat everyone as if they're infected. | ||
| Stock up on TP, lol. | ||
| Globe and planet, plenty of space in the screen. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Yeah, maybe both. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Cracklin says, do you think Naruto had more of a right to be upset for being rejected by the Hidden Leaf without a family? | ||
| Or Sasuke, whose entire family was killed? | ||
| Sasuke's entire family was killed, man. | ||
| And it was by his own brother, who spared him and wasn't supposed to. | ||
| So the story is basically that the government, the secret police of this village saw this one clan as becoming a growing threat. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So, ordered one of them to kill everyone, but he couldn't kill his little brother. | ||
| And his little brother goes and becomes one of the most powerful, like, fighters. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Naruto, on the other hand, his dad sacrificed his- his parents sacrificed their lives trying to save the village from a giant demon of some sort. | ||
| It's hard to explain, so I'll just call it a demon. | ||
| And then he, uh, they- they trapped the nine-tailed fox within him, and so he got ostracized for being the embodiment of it, but eventually earns their respect. | ||
| But what is this question actually about? | ||
| It's not about their backstory, it's about what... Who had more of a right to be upset. | ||
| And I said Sasuke. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Like, the government literally ordered his entire extended family executed. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| That's not... Yeah. | ||
| You know. | ||
| Konami says, The Beanie should have a cute pigeon because Tim Pool looks like one. | ||
| I do think pigeons are funny. | ||
| They are pretty great. | ||
| It would be fun to have a little pigeon guy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The Proud A-Hole MGTOW says, UFO not Godzilla will wake up soon. | ||
| John Rosen Generation says, you guys should play Deus Ex and comment on the various predictions the game makes. | ||
| It's looking similar to the Grey Death Plague in the game. | ||
| Never played that game, but I hear good things about it. | ||
| I heard people talking about that. | ||
| Democracy says, have you heard of talked about the October 19 Global Pandemic Exercise Event 201 yet? | ||
| I have not. | ||
| We'll check it out. | ||
| OPM Studio says, near normalcy in North Carolina. | ||
| Kind of surreal watching the rest of the country go into lockdown while we continue our lives almost as though nothing was wrong. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| Shun says, they should make shoes that make you run as fast as Sonic the Hedgehog. | ||
| Imagine running along the highway passing cars and traffic jams. | ||
| Be cool. | ||
| And then running into other people. | ||
| Trinidad says, globe is alive. | ||
| Flat spinning thing now. | ||
