Peace.
tim pool
Welcome to the show.
I'm Tim Poole with my buddy.
adam crigler
What up?
I'm Adam Kregler.
tim pool
Adam Kregler.
And then we have Lydia of Whiterun.
lydia smith
Hello.
tim pool
How's it going?
So I'll just do the promo first.
Hit the like button, if you haven't already.
If you're coming in, hit the like button.
adam crigler
I already did.
I hit that like button.
unidentified
Perfect.
adam crigler
Right away.
tim pool
This is a show where we talk about stuff, and I don't know, we just talk about stuff.
That's about it.
Like every other podcast, every person and their mother has.
But if you want to have your comment read, you can jump in the super chat.
Hit the like button, subscribe, hit F. The delay on the show is huge.
I didn't even realize.
It's like a 30 second delay.
lydia smith
I thought it was like a couple minutes.
tim pool
I guess it's so that if someone says a naughty word, we can like, ah, shut it off!
adam crigler
Wait, naughty word!
tim pool
That's what they do, they have a seven second delay on broadcast television.
adam crigler
Oh really?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
So that's why, you might have noticed this periodically, someone will be talking, and then all of a sudden there will be a weird stop, and it'll be like a time jump, and they'll be like, oh we're so sorry about that everybody, and it's like, I don't- Some technical difficulties!
unidentified
No, no, no.
tim pool
They'll straight up say, like, they'll just apologize.
adam crigler
Oh, sorry about that.
tim pool
They press a button and it, like, they can catch it in advance if someone swears or something.
I don't know how much, I don't know what they do these days.
I mean, everything's different.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So we got a bunch of stories.
We're going to talk about the dystopian future.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
Yeah, the dystopian nightmare that is our- Wait, no.
No, this is cool because this whole thing- Yes?
adam crigler
Wait, am I excited about this?
unidentified
You are.
adam crigler
Okay, yes.
tim pool
Because this is our segue from mainstream culture into conspiracy paranoia.
adam crigler
Riding the line, yeah.
tim pool
Right, so it's like, all we do is talk about coronavirus all day and it's really annoying.
adam crigler
Not anymore.
tim pool
Nobody wants to.
lydia smith
No.
tim pool
But you know, for real, like the example we give in the past few days is like, we talked about Sonic the Hedgehog and Birds of Prey and like UFOs and stuff.
And all of a sudden everything is just dominated by this coronavirus stuff.
adam crigler
I miss those days.
tim pool
Well, so we have a couple stories.
adam crigler
Don't you miss those days?
Remember we used to talk about UFOs?
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
You guys remember.
Now we have one.
It's so fitting, but we're bringing it back.
tim pool
Alright, well, so here's a plan.
We have this story, we have a couple stories that are just very dystopian, nightmarish, and it's kind of like broaching the line of conspiratorial, like, the government, New World Order stuff.
And then from there we're gonna jump straight into New World Order, Denver Airport conspiracy, and Admiral Byrd and Operation High Jump.
adam crigler
I don't know a lot about that.
tim pool
Me neither.
adam crigler
I'm kind of excited to dig into that a little bit.
tim pool
We're going to learn about it.
Shambhala, the city in the center of the earth.
What?
lydia smith
I just learned about that.
adam crigler
That's such a great name, Shambhala.
That's like a good cat name.
tim pool
We are current event-driven people.
Check this out.
The stories we have in the Denver airport from a couple weeks ago.
adam crigler
Oh, seriously?
I thought you said it was from the 90s or something.
tim pool
No, no, no, like all the stuff they did was like the 90s.
adam crigler
Oh, the murals are from the 90s.
tim pool
But this is what's interesting.
So, you know, a lot of people were talking about Denver Airport and Admiral Byrd the other day.
And it turns out there are some recent articles about both of these things.
adam crigler
Is Admiral Byrd like Andrew Byrd's father or something?
tim pool
Great, great, great grandfather?
adam crigler
Andrew Byrd?
Oh, is he like really old?
tim pool
Larry Byrd?
lydia smith
Oh, yeah, dude.
adam crigler
Do you know Andrew Byrd?
tim pool
The musician?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's from Chicago, isn't he?
unidentified
Is he?
adam crigler
Awesome.
tim pool
Yeah, he did like the loop track stuff, right?
adam crigler
Yeah, I guess so.
tim pool
All right, well, our lead story is, you know, it's coronavirus-related, but we'll get through it.
We'll fight through it, everybody.
adam crigler
It's caused by coronavirus, but it's not necessarily about it.
tim pool
It's actually awesome.
adam crigler
I've been playing a lot of Division 2, and I'm just looking at this drone, and I'm like, hmm.
tim pool
This is cool.
adam crigler
I use this in the game.
tim pool
All right, well, let's get the context.
So this is a story that's been going around.
California city to use Chinese night vision drones banned by U.S.
Army to enforce coronavirus lockdown.
Look at this photo.
Could you imagine?
What?
lydia smith
Did we press record?
tim pool
Oh, we did not?
lydia smith
We did not.
All right.
tim pool
How did I miss that?
lydia smith
That's all good.
adam crigler
Let's get an F. Let's get an F in there.
tim pool
I'm fired.
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
adam crigler
Let's get an F going.
lydia smith
F for fired.
adam crigler
F for not hitting record.
unidentified
That's all good.
lydia smith
We'll just get started with our segment.
tim pool
Where were we?
adam crigler
Shout out to the comments.
lydia smith
You guys are great.
We're starting our segment.
tim pool
Okay, check this out.
So we have this story from American Military News.
They say, California City to use Chinese night vision drones banned by U.S.
Army to enforce coronavirus lockdown.
And this photo is actually really cool.
But it reminds me of, like, all of these dystopian, futuristic, I don't know, fantasy worlds books, cartoons, whatever, where, like, the drones fly around and, like, stop and, like, citizen, you're outside of your home.
You must go home immediately.
And now that's literally what's happening.
I mean, well, okay, not literally.
But the drones are actually tracking people to see if they're breaking curfew.
lydia smith
Yeah, they look at your phone, right?
adam crigler
That's crazy.
tim pool
Do they?
lydia smith
That's what I heard.
unidentified
Wow.
adam crigler
Just leave your phone at home.
Done.
tim pool
Yeah, man.
Put on all black.
Get your bow and arrow.
You gotta be quiet.
That's why.
And then you lurk around.
I'm just kidding.
Please don't do this.
adam crigler
And when the drone comes...
It doesn't even know you're there.
lydia smith
That's right.
adam crigler
You gotta have really good aim though, because it's a small target.
tim pool
We did just watch the movie The Hunt, and in it they say don't shoot the drone, because now they know you're there.
lydia smith
Yes, that's true.
adam crigler
So this is... I'm not super... Unless you're actually not anywhere close to your home, because then you can shoot it and then dip back, because then they'll go there looking for the person who shot down the drone.
tim pool
You know what's really scary about this is how awesome it sounds to be a resistance member.
You're running around and you're like, a drone for the establishment!
adam crigler
I'm imagining John Connor in the future, fighting the drones.
tim pool
This is what a lot of these activist people who wear all black think they're doing, when they go around bashing old women over the head and knocking them to the ground.
lydia smith
They are not doing that.
tim pool
No, but I feel like we're getting dangerously close to that world where we're going to be in it.
So this is in Chula Vista, California.
So I do want to point out, man, they really laid on the framing of this article.
adam crigler
Chula Vista?
Where is that?
tim pool
It's in California.
Isn't Chula Vista, like, is it LA area?
adam crigler
Is it LA?
tim pool
I don't know.
adam crigler
I've never heard of it.
tim pool
But they call it a Chinese drone.
It's like, yes, that's true.
It's DJI.
It's the drones.
adam crigler
Everybody flies.
Yeah, it's like 77% of the drone market is DJI.
I was actually just randomly reading an article about that an hour ago.
tim pool
It's true though, I mean, it is Chinese-made.
But I thought they were banned because they were Chinese-made.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Why?
So here's what I think.
It says it's banned by the U.S.
Army.
adam crigler
I would have assumed it had something to do with the night vision or something.
It's like, because... The Army... A drone is a drone, like, they're not banned.
No, but I think... So why would a night vision drone be... Chinese.
Oh, because it was Chinese?
Yeah, there was a... But most of them are, so are all drones banned?
tim pool
They're not all Chinese, so it's like you gotta buy American.
adam crigler
I mean, we were at Best Buy like a month ago, and they had all sorts of DJI drones.
tim pool
Yeah, the Mavic. I got one. Well, here's the big fear is that,
this is a few years ago, there was fears that China was putting Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth hidden inside like toasters and coffee makers.
For real.
And that way when- Oh wait, no.
adam crigler
For real, they were?
Or for real, this is what the rumor was?
tim pool
It's hard to call it a rumor.
It's a little bit more than a rumor, but around there.
You know, it's like- Well, either it's a rumor- It's not a confirmed story.
adam crigler
Either it's a rumor or it's not.
tim pool
Well, it's hard to tell sometimes.
I'll put it this way.
adam crigler
Wi-Fi and toasters?
tim pool
A rumor would be like your buddy being like, you hear this crazy story?
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
A conspiracy theory would be like a person screeching online being like, they're putting all the toasters in the water purifiers.
Okay, so this is this one here's the theory no no no this one was the US army saying out of a credible intelligence
Reports that China has been doing this we are now gonna stop using this but there was a pushback saying it's not
true Some people think it was just an effort to get the US to
spend money on us made products like it's an excuse to not Buy Chinese, but there was a fear that if you buy this like
I'll put it this way Would you if you went to war with somebody and you were
using their tech right press the button your drones and fall out of?
adam crigler
Or just, they can like tap into the feed and be like, hmm, what are they looking at?
Oh, they're following that citizen.
Ha ha, we got them looking at their own citizens.
tim pool
Dude, think about computers.
They're all made over in China.
And so, how much you want to bet all of our computers that are made in China, they've got some kind of backdoor put in them, why not?
I don't want to believe that but probably true I can see that it could be possible but there's some Chinese dude right now who's like watching you watch porn and he's like sitting there eating popcorn in like a Chinese authoritarian firewall police just like That makes me uncomfortable.
I mean, well, I'll tell you what, it gets better.
Not only is there a Chinese guy doing it, but there's an NSA guy doing it.
They're both sitting there watching.
lydia smith
They're just chilling.
tim pool
And the NSA guy, he DMs the Chinese guy and he's like, yo, can you believe what he's watching?
This stuff's freaky.
And he's like, yeah, man, I swear.
I mean, that'd actually be cool.
lydia smith
That's why we're having a plague.
tim pool
No, no, look, but if the NSA guys and the Chinese people were friends and we weren't going to go to war, you know, there's some benefits there.
But anyway, I don't know exactly why it was banned.
They just say, we have not traditionally mounted speakers to our drones, but if we need to cover a large area to get an announcement out, or there were a crowd somewhere that we needed to disperse, we could do it without getting police officers involved.
They're literally talking about drones that are going to talk to you and be like, citizen, return to your home.
adam crigler
Like, wow.
So they have speaker systems on them?
tim pool
That's what he just said.
Yeah, they're going to be outfitted with night vision and loudspeakers.
adam crigler
That's crazy.
tim pool
So here's what we say.
The U.S.
officials warned against using Chinese drones domestically.
So I think it's just really about it being Chinese made.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Chula Vista may also use its drones to relay messages to the city's homeless, who may have less access to information about specific coronavirus orders.
adam crigler
Wow.
lydia smith
That's kind of interesting.
tim pool
It's both really cool and horrifying at the same time.
lydia smith
Yeah, what the heck?
tim pool
The drone like comes down and it's like, homeless citizen, there is a quarantine, and like... Go to this location.
adam crigler
You know what would be cool?
It like turns to that one?
Jeffrey?
unidentified
Hey, Jeffrey!
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
adam crigler
It's your friend Matt!
What up?
And then the homeless guy- By the way, you gotta go home.
tim pool
The homeless guy's like, I have a question.
And then the drone turns and- One second.
Turns back.
Yo, did you watch the new episode of Westworld?
I saw Tiger King, dude.
You see it?
And then like two drones come down.
And the two drones are talking to each other.
lydia smith
It's like cops parked opposite ways on the street.
tim pool
But no, it is simultaneously really cool to get to live in this nightmare dystopia.
So cool.
That's what I'm saying, it's horrifying at the same time.
I'm not really scared of drones, other than the blades could hurt somebody if some moron's flying it, so they gotta figure out that.
These things can be dangerous, man.
So, I love how they use the victim defense.
We need to tell them we actually have resources for them.
They are vulnerable right now, Sally said.
It might be impractical or unsafe for officers to be put in those areas.
adam crigler
Right.
So again, the cops just don't want to get sick.
tim pool
No, no.
Right, right.
adam crigler
We're not going to go over there.
We're just going to send drones everywhere because we can't risk it.
tim pool
We're sending the drones because we care about you.
adam crigler
By the way, put these cuffs on.
It's for your own protection.
lydia smith
Try these.
tim pool
We're just trying to keep you safe.
Yeah, but that's the big fear, right?
Do we just blindly trust the government?
How do we know that this thing's actually going to end when it's going to end?
lydia smith
We don't.
adam crigler
Or if it's even real.
tim pool
Yeah.
I mean, never let a good crisis go to waste.
lydia smith
Yes.
adam crigler
That's what they say.
tim pool
It would be absurd in my opinion to think that China and the U.S.
have teamed up, like, secretly.
adam crigler
Well, there's like five or six states that banned abortions now because they were like, oh, well, it's, you know, we got to just ban it.
Yeah.
lydia smith
Yeah, they're not essential.
tim pool
Everyone's going for this.
The gun shops getting shut down too.
Just like, wow.
So we see the gun shops get shut down.
We also see the inverse, like everybody's taking their opportunity to just be like, now's my chance.
adam crigler
Everyone's afraid, let's take advantage of this.
lydia smith
Ugh, gross.
tim pool
So they say, China reportedly introduced large-scale drone enforcement during its coronavirus lockdown efforts, and citizens said drones would relay messages to tell people to remain in certain areas or call out pedestrians not wearing face masks.
What we saw in China, and what we're probably going to see around the world, is using drones with cameras and loudspeakers to fly around to see if people are gathering where they shouldn't be and telling them to go home, he said.
It's a little Orwellian, but this could save lives.
I love the but.
lydia smith
But.
tim pool
Security.
Yeah.
lydia smith
That's a big but.
tim pool
Yeah, so, this is one thing I've kind of been harping on for a bit.
We've, we've, like, the First Amendment's been just crushed completely.
adam crigler
Yep, basically.
It's like, what?
You're not allowed to go out wearing a mask?
Didn't the government say we don't, we don't need to wear masks?
tim pool
Kind of.
adam crigler
Kind of?
Or what?
tim pool
Well, so early on, the main narrative was that it's not as effective for people to wear masks, and if everyone goes out to buy masks, then medical professionals won't get them.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
The irresponsible media then turned that.
It was corrupted into, don't wear a mask.
adam crigler
Ah, yes.
The telephone through the media.
tim pool
Right.
So masks obviously work, but there's a problem with It's better if everyone's wearing a mask.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
It's much better if medical professionals have priority access to them.
adam crigler
Yeah, but all across the country, there are no masks.
tim pool
There are now.
adam crigler
There is now?
tim pool
Well, they're finding some everywhere.
adam crigler
Finding some somewhere.
But nobody has masks.
How are you supposed to go out at all and get food or even look for masks?
tim pool
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
adam crigler
You don't have a mask.
Get in your home.
lydia smith
You can't buy any masks.
tim pool
They're just now starting to say you get masks.
adam crigler
Right.
There is no masks.
tim pool
So this is the main issue I take with it, is that it's always about the lie justifying their goal.
Like, it was obvious that masks did help to a certain degree.
You know, the point I tried making early on, and I probably deserve some criticism for this too, because what I was saying is, you shouldn't buy masks because for one, medical professionals need access to them first.
Two, When the people wear masks and protective gear, they do it in a really methodical way, like you have to put them on a specific... what is it called?
adam crigler
The PPE?
lydia smith
You have to put it on in the right order.
tim pool
There's a word for putting on and taking it off.
lydia smith
Donning and doffing?
tim pool
Yes, there you go.
So, what we were seeing a lot of was people who were buying them and having no idea how to use them, and then getting filthy, and then just getting sick anyway.
adam crigler
So... Or with full beards, with a mask over it.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's not gonna work.
adam crigler
Good job.
tim pool
But I guess now that they feel confident they're gonna get the masks they need or something, they're starting to say maybe everyone should wear masks.
adam crigler
Well, all these companies are making them, too.
lydia smith
Yeah, people are stepping up.
adam crigler
I mean, I've got a few people that I know that are just cranking masks out.
lydia smith
Yeah, me too.
adam crigler
Even my sister's making a bunch of masks.
Really?
tim pool
Like how?
Like sewing?
adam crigler
Yeah, she's got a sewing machine and just making them.
She's got a couple kids to worry about, too, so she makes masks for them.
tim pool
They found that the N95 masks, the ones with the actual filters, are really, really good.
But even, I guess Trump said something like, put a scarf on, because it still helps.
adam crigler
I mean, they say the molecule is tiny, but it still rides in the moisture in the air, so it would make sense that having something to filter it, you're lessening the chances of getting it.
So, what's the harm in wearing something?
tim pool
Now we got a bunch of companies that have switched to making masks, like the MyPillow guy.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, he got a bunch of flack.
Everybody was yelling at him.
adam crigler
But New Balance... I don't understand.
Why would you give him flack for that?
lydia smith
He brought God into it.
tim pool
Yeah, he was like saying, you know, now's the time to come to family, read the Bible, and stuff like that.
adam crigler
But who cares?
lydia smith
Yeah, he's doing something good.
adam crigler
Why do you care so much people?
Yeah, you know, I mean, that's the libertarian in me.
Like, I don't have to believe what he's believing.
I don't have to like, like, take that to heart and be like, wait a minute, you don't believe what I believe.
So now I'm going to be mad at you.
It's like, come on, man.
tim pool
I almost imagine it like, imagine Mike Lindell was like, Here you go, buddy.
Here's a mask.
My mask is the best mask.
You sweat out of his hand and you're like, get your religious mask out of my face.
I'd rather get sick.
adam crigler
That mask is religious.
tim pool
I don't want it.
lydia smith
I can't have it.
adam crigler
What?
How?
tim pool
If a communist gave me a mask and had a sickle and a hammer on it and it was an N95, I'd be like, thank you, sir.
lydia smith
I don't care, dude.
tim pool
I'm not worried about showing up to a rally of, like, anti-communists.
Like, if you give me a functioning mask and you want to put your little thing on it, I'll take it if I need it.
adam crigler
I picture some family guy scene where he goes to take the mask and puts it on.
The mask is like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, sir, sir, sir.
Have you read the Bible today?
Sorry, no.
And he's like, no, no, no, no.
I'm out of here.
And he walks out the door.
tim pool
You can give me a social justice fist, rainbow flag mask, and I'll be like, I do not care.
You can give me a mask with a picture of the good Lord and the cross.
I'll be like, thank you for the mask.
adam crigler
You know what's funny?
The My Pillow commercial's on the TV right over there.
lydia smith
It's literally on right now.
Oh, what the heck?
tim pool
There we go.
adam crigler
I did you know there there was all these different people like digging dirt up on this guy now and just like to to like oh well he's not the perfect person it's like nobody's the perfect person nobody and sure he he did some stuff and is you know a crack addict yeah there's whatever and like you know that his company's got into some tax issue or some stupid thing it's like but he's paying it off and It's like, why?
He's doing us, like, help.
He's doing a service.
That's good.
tim pool
And they called it, I think it was CNN called it a PR stunt?
lydia smith
Not really.
adam crigler
But it's like... Everything is a PR stunt, you know what I mean?
Everything is, in some sense, yeah.
tim pool
Was it a PR stunt when Facebook gave masks?
They were like, we bought all these masks and we're gonna give them to hospitals.
That wasn't a PR stunt?
adam crigler
Yeah.
Well, I mean, it's the same thing as saying it's religious.
It's like, you can take that to heart as what you think it is, but in the end...
It's still help.
Like this whole thing with Russia, like Trump said, Trump accepted all this stuff from Russia, like the help, the big plane full of stuff.
And everyone's like, Oh man, it makes us look so weak and Russia's superiority over us.
And it's like, or we also really need that help right now because China makes all our stuff and hasn't given us anything.
So Trump's like, yeah, it's good.
It's good that they're giving us this stuff.
Cause we need it.
What do you think about that?
tim pool
Well, I agree.
I mean, no matter what he does, it's gonna be bad.
It's like, here's medical relief supplies, and they're like, that proves it!
Trump is working for Russia!
See, Putin is giving his second-in-command important... Would you rather get the stuff from China?
adam crigler
Like, honest question, huh?
lydia smith
Would you rather die?
adam crigler
Turn the ships around that we've actually paid for the masks. They're like now we're gonna keep them
tim pool
This actually reminds me of a religious joke. You guys want to hear it? Okay
It's I don't know if you call it a joke, but it's a something that I heard a lot when I was younger
so there's a man in his home and A storm hits all of a sudden the waters start rising and
there's a flood Someone runs to his door or as the floodwaters are rising
and he sees in the news what's happening He prays to God saying please save me don't let the flood,
you know Kill me and then someone knocks on his door and says we're
getting everyone out of here quick hop in the truck before the waters
Get to honey says no. No, no, the good Lord will save me and they were like buddy. Don't be crazy
Get in the car, we're leaving, the flood's coming!
And he's like, nope, I know the Lord will save me.
So then as the waters start rising, and he climbs up the second floor, he starts praying again, please, don't let me die, the flood is now too high.
When all of a sudden, there's a knock on the window, on the second floor, because the flood's so high, and there's a boat.
And the guy in the boat's like, quick, get in the boat!
We gotta get out of here!
And he says, no, the Lord will save me.
And so the guy's like, are you nuts?
And he goes, I refuse, the Lord will save me.
And the guy takes off in the boat.
So then, the water starts rising, he climbs onto the roof, and now the water is getting close to his ankles, the flood's coming, and he's like, help me, Lord, when a helicopter comes.
And they throw a rope down, and they're like, quick, climb up!
And he goes, no!
The Lord will save me!
And then they're like, are you nuts?
Once again, they take off, the floodwaters rise, and the man dies.
He goes to heaven, and when he gets there, he gets to meet God, and he goes, I don't understand.
I was religious my whole life, and I begged you for help, and you let me die.
And he goes, I sent a truck, a boat, and a helicopter.
You wouldn't take any one of them!
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, that's exactly how that would work.
The assumption that you can't take help from someone because you expect it to be perfect is what I get from that, too.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Along with the, you know, God works in mysterious ways kind of idea.
adam crigler
What do you think he would have accepted?
tim pool
I think it's a good joke because it works religiously and not.
Like, to accept the help from people who offer it, it's never going to be exactly what you expect.
You know what I mean?
adam crigler
Yeah, help and opportunities.
They come along, you gotta take it.
tim pool
Exactly.
lydia smith
What's that saying?
God helps those who help themselves?
tim pool
Well, you know, God works in mysterious ways, right?
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
But shall we move on to the snitching your neighbor portion of this?
adam crigler
Yes!
Yes.
lydia smith
Oh, man.
tim pool
This is great.
This is Niagara This Week.
I don't know what this website is.
Is it for Niagara, New York or something?
I'm guessing.
adam crigler
Hey, is it newsguarded?
tim pool
No, it's not.
adam crigler
Oh, my gosh, we can't expect it.
See, now you got me wondering every time now.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's right.
unidentified
Good.
tim pool
You get addicted, you're like, someone has vetted this, even though they are biased, but they're all right.
But this is Niagara this week.
I can only assume it's, you know, the Niagara Falls and that area is Canada and New York-ish.
lydia smith
It's like no man's land.
tim pool
But they have a very important philosophical question for all of us.
Should I snitch on my neighbor for not properly self-isolating during the coronavirus pandemic?
lydia smith
You should just scream at them.
adam crigler
This is silly.
What would you do?
What would I do?
I mean, I've seen I look out the window every day.
I'm like, oh, look at the weather.
Oh, look, there's my neighbor walking, you know, with his wife.
It's like, yeah, they're not self isolating, but they're not sick.
lydia smith
Are they six feet away from other people?
adam crigler
No, not each other.
Oh, but they're a couple.
What am I going to do?
Like, hey, there's a couple.
That's my neighbor.
They're walking together.
tim pool
And it's like people have done that.
adam crigler
That's ridiculous, though.
Wasn't the Ubers cut off for only, like, in New York?
Didn't he say, I forget who said it, but it's like, you're only allowed to Uber if you're with your significant other.
What?
Didn't you say that?
No, I don't know.
I thought that's something you mentioned, like, three weeks or a month ago.
tim pool
May is a long time ago.
adam crigler
Yeah, it was a while ago.
It was, like, right when it started hitting New York.
tim pool
You know how you mentioned the other day that it was March 97th?
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
I'm seeing everybody say the same thing.
lydia smith
Yeah, on Twitter, everyone's like, oh, what day is it?
It feels like it's been three years in March.
adam crigler
April Fools!
It's still March.
tim pool
I think it was Kyle Kalinske who said, I'm glad the year of March has finally come to an end.
What happened?
It was nuts.
Well, I mean, honestly, a lot of people died.
It's from the end of February until the end of March, 4,000 people.
I don't want to go outside, I'd rather stay home.
But does that mean you should snitch on your neighbors?
Well, apparently one woman thinks so.
In this viral video, woman flips out on people not isolating from coronavirus.
An absurd viral video.
adam crigler
When was that from?
lydia smith
It was from like two days ago.
tim pool
March 31st, so yesterday.
Wow, look at this.
How many views?
That has a ton of views.
adam crigler
Should we watch it?
Let's watch it.
tim pool
Almost 3.6 million views.
Oh man, let's see what the buzz is about.
Do you understand?
adam crigler
And if you... I'm done with this shit.
Oh man.
unidentified
She's not wearing a mask.
She got within six feet of them.
She was spitting all over them.
When you sneak out of quarantine and Karen catches you.
Is that what it says?
I'm so scared, I'm so scared.
adam crigler
She's not wearing a mask.
She got within six feet of them.
lydia smith
She's like three feet away from them.
adam crigler
What the heck?
She was spitting all over them.
tim pool
When you sneak out of quarantine and Karen catches you.
adam crigler
Is that what it says?
That's what it says.
Oh.
That's good.
tim pool
So what is this?
I get it.
That's the story.
These people are weirdos.
But they're doing it.
Check this out.
New Zealand police website for snitching on people breaking coronavirus lockdown crashes due to popularity.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh.
adam crigler
Well if I can't go out, he can't either.
Yeah, neither can I. Well listen, I got a question though.
If you're in your car, aren't you isolated?
Isn't that an isolated place?
lydia smith
Yeah, unless you have to roll your window down.
adam crigler
What's wrong with driving around?
tim pool
What if you gotta go to the doctor?
adam crigler
Yeah, what if you're driving to the store to get food because you're out of food?
lydia smith
You're driving in a bubble.
adam crigler
Yeah, they said that we can leave for essential items, essential things.
It's like she saw a kid and was like, he was probably cruising like with his friend like, yeah, we're going to the store.
This sucks.
We got the short straw.
Oh, there's Karen.
tim pool
She's just like, ah!
lydia smith
She descends.
tim pool
There was another video.
adam crigler
I don't know.
I'm just, you know.
tim pool
There's another video that went viral of a preacher, and he started filming this woman screaming that he shouldn't be out, and she just literally screams, like, on top of her lungs, and it's incredible.
And my first thought was like, she's sitting there yelling this guy, and mom, I'm gonna ask the same question, like, what are you doing out?
Because if you want to argue that you're going to the store, no, you're standing and arguing with some guy, and you're supposed to be, like, isolating.
adam crigler
Yeah, I saw her hit the window, which is physically touching.
Like, if she had the sickness, now that kid has the sickness.
lydia smith
Well, it's on his car, too.
adam crigler
But if he had the sickness, she didn't necessarily get it from him.
But, definitely, it would have been the other way around, I think.
tim pool
So what's up with this New Zealand?
People love snitching on each other, huh?
Yeah, what the heck?
Reclaim the Net says one constant that's come with the spread of the coronavirus has been the proliferation of digital tools that are slowly encroaching on people's civil liberties.
And recent comments from the New Zealand police revealed the alarming rate that people are willingly adopting these tools to snitch on their fellow citizens.
According to the New Zealand police, a new website that was set up for citizens to snitch on people who violate the country's coronavirus lockdown rules was so popular that it crashed due to the volume of complaints it was receiving.
Under New Zealand's current lockdown rules, residents have been ordered to stay at home, keep contact to a bare minimum, and stay two meters apart when they do leave their homes.
Police Commissioner Mike Bush told reporters, we've had 4,200 reports of people believing others weren't complying.
Oh, geez.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh.
tim pool
Bush added, it shows how determined Kiwis are that everyone complies with us.
The rollout of this online snitching portal in New Zealand is one of several others
that has been introduced across the globe.
The US Government has been working to improve the quality of life for the people of the
government has also reportedly started using phone location data to track the movements of its citizens amid the coronavirus outbreak, another change that's been criticized for its impact on civil liberties.
They're going to mention that the digital rights group, the Electronic Frontier Foundation
wrote, the government has not shown that the new dragnet location surveillance powers would
significantly help to contain COVID-19.
And added that fear of surveillance chills and deters free speech and association.
You know, I'd be very much more on board with a lot of these organizations, like EFF, if
they didn't go full on intersectional dogma, religious, you know, weirdo.
So you know, I'll agree with them to the extent like, you're right, they shouldn't be tracking
our phone data.
But, you know, outside of that, I digress.
People want to live in communist dictatorship.
adam crigler
It seems like it.
tim pool
So I had a friend tell me a story about the Soviet Union.
I was in Ukraine, and she was telling me that this apartment, and I'm probably ruining this, I'm probably getting this story wrong to some degree, but here's how I remembered it.
There were people who lived in the unit she was in, back in like the 60s or something.
And then there were people who lived in the unit next to it, and the unit next to it didn't like the people, called the local police or constable or whatever, and said they were smack-talking the party, the Communist Party.
A day later, the family was gone, the unit was empty.
Off to the gulag.
Hard labor, 14 years, whatever, you dig ditches, you break rocks.
So that's the world.
What's funny is that these people in New Zealand who are reporting each other, Yeah.
They're probably not even breaking quarantine.
Like, you see someone walking to the store to go get milk, and they're like, that person's not supposed to be outside, I'm calling the police!
adam crigler
It's like, what if they don't have a car, and that's their only option to get to the store?
Or the doctor, or whatever essential thing that they're going to.
tim pool
There was a party in North Jersey, and apparently it was a couple dozen people, and all the neighbors called the cops saying they're having a party.
It's like, nanny culture.
People, it's cancel culture on steroids.
Everybody wants to be in the mob so bad.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
It's so weird.
lydia smith
Well, Eric Garcetti in L.A.
just basically set up a program just like in New Zealand where snitches get rewards, and he wants people to call on businesses for violating the, quote, safer at home order.
Sounds very nice, doesn't it?
tim pool
You know what?
adam crigler
Bunch of people about to get some stitches.
tim pool
Andrew Cuomo said at one of his events or whatever, his press briefings, That he's trying not to enforce hard quarantines, but people keep breaking the rules, and people keep going out and ignoring this, and it's making it worse.
So he's like, what are we gonna have to do?
We're gonna have to hard enforce this and start arresting people and fining people?
I need to want to do it, but no one's listening.
adam crigler
I mean, I see pictures.
Like, I have friends in New York that are telling me, like, I can see the park or a park from my place and it's filled with people.
And, like, I see the people that are there.
It's not the older generations.
It's, like, the younger people, 20s, 30s.
And the more we find out about this, it's like, it's much less of a chance you're gonna die from this if you catch it if you're younger.
So they're not afraid of it anymore.
lydia smith
Right.
adam crigler
The fear isn't the same.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
So they're like, oh, I'm gonna go out.
I'm gonna, like, it's fine.
Even if I do catch it, you know, it's like, I could beat it.
But the old people are scared.
I'm invincible.
Because anyone, everyone in their 20s believes that anyway.
lydia smith
They can carry it, though.
That's always been my argument, is that you'll give it to your grandparents when you go home.
Kind of bothers me.
Yep.
tim pool
And that's the lesson that people aren't learning.
I was reading that they said something like 50% of people could be asymptomatic carriers.
adam crigler
Yeah.
lydia smith
Yeah, China's finding that too.
tim pool
Right, in which case, yeah, and China won't report any of it.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
In which case you go home and all of a sudden your parents are dead.
lydia smith
Ugh, dude.
tim pool
Because some of these people hit, you know, they go down fast.
It's like people get it and then within a week or so all of a sudden they're just like, they feel fine and then boom, boom, they hit the ground.
But we do have more.
Be a snitch!
Report lockdown transgressors, DA.
I believe this is South Africa.
I don't know, it's .co.za, so I think it's South Africa, right?
adam crigler
I don't know.
tim pool
I don't care to read too much about what the story is.
I'm just showing you it's all over the world that people are doing this.
They're gleefully saying, snitching your neighbors.
I remember there was this program, it probably still exists.
Where you go around taking pictures of license plates in your neighborhood, and then if the license plate is used, they pay you a fee.
And so it was like the service where they basically say, an easy way to make passive income.
Walk around your neighborhood taking photos of license plates, upload them, and then if law enforcement, repossession, or anybody needs access to know where this thing is, you get a cut.
So they're like, if the police end up impounding a vehicle, you'll get $25.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh.
tim pool
Yep.
lydia smith
Great.
tim pool
Yeah.
And so I remember that being posted to Facebook a long time ago and I was like, wow, a snitch in your neighbor program for cash.
And then they deleted it right away like, ugh.
They didn't realize, you know?
adam crigler
Yeah, that's bad.
tim pool
So I can say, and it's very surprising to see of all, of UK of all places, PCC urges neighbors not to snitch.
unidentified
Whoa.
lydia smith
Whoa, what?
tim pool
In Oxfordshire?
lydia smith
In the UK?
Yeah.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
tim pool
A police commissioner has urged neighbors not to snitch on each other if they break new rules imposed at the coronavirus outbreak.
Anthony Stansfeld, police and crime commissioner for the Thames Valley, said people could politely express disapproval instead.
He said he did not think snitching to the police was necessary, except in the most extreme circumstances.
The government introduced a series of strict measures on Monday.
We'll see how long this lasts.
adam crigler
You know, I feel like the police have enough on their plate also.
Yeah.
It's just, come on.
lydia smith
You would think, right?
adam crigler
Yeah, I would think so.
And they're already saying they're like decriminalizing a lot of things to like, or not decriminalizing, but like not taking the same measures as they would be without the situation in place.
tim pool
Postponing arrests.
adam crigler
Yeah, you know, like, oh, I'm gonna arrest you in the future.
But if you're walking outside with, like, a buddy of yours, you know, and they come, like, why would they, why would they prioritize that?
tim pool
Easy.
adam crigler
Why?
Really easy?
It's the same thing, isn't it?
They still have to do paperwork.
They still have to come to a location.
tim pool
They're not gonna get shot.
adam crigler
I mean, but they were saying nonviolent crimes is what they were talking about.
Theft of person you know burglary yeah, but the list was still like nonviolent stuff
So it's that's what they were talking car theft sure yeah car theft
tim pool
Oh, I look even if even if it was nonviolent in that like someone stole shoplifting
Mm-hmm. That's an actual crime being committed where you're worried someone might attack you ah your word there actual
adam crigler
crime right?
just What is this?
They're not even saying that we have to stay in our homes.
But if you don't stay in your homes, your neighbors can snitch on you and we can bring the police and get you in trouble for not staying in your homes.
But they're not telling us we have to stay in our homes.
tim pool
I just realized something.
adam crigler
What's that?
tim pool
No, no, no.
We should be totally in favor of all of the authoritarianism.
adam crigler
Okay.
Go on.
tim pool
Because eventually when the party takes over and goes full-on authoritarian, we'll be protected.
lydia smith
We'll be on the right side of history.
tim pool
You know what, man?
No, but in all seriousness, it really does feel like we're getting close to a point where we have hard authoritarianism and then a complete collapse, some kind of revolution or overthrow.
It feels like the reset button was hit on the United States.
adam crigler
And China.
tim pool
And China.
Yeah, for sure.
Hard reset.
adam crigler
I think so.
tim pool
And Trump, this was kind of crazy this morning, or it was yesterday he said this, all of a sudden it's like the act came off.
You know, Trump had been saying, no, no, no, it's okay, we're doing this, we got things under control.
lydia smith
His last night.
tim pool
Everyone got mad at him for downplaying it, but I think he was trying to keep people calm, and now it's over.
Now he's like, it's going to be weeks of hell.
We're going to lose thousands of people.
The next couple of weeks will be the roughest America's ever faced.
Thousands of people will die, and we will lose more people than possibly World War I, World War II, or whatever.
So he was being hopeful, now it's dark.
And now it's like, oof.
Yeah, I think it's gonna get real bad.
adam crigler
Oh man.
tim pool
Exponential growth, man.
People don't realize a thousand people in the U.S.
died in one day.
And so all the people who were like, the flu is worse, congratulations.
Now you have the data.
adam crigler
To be honest though, it's not really that surprising.
We're huge.
We are massive.
Our country is huge.
I've been going back and forth from Europe for so long that I'm so sick of this whole comparison that You know, oh, I met someone new.
Oh, you're American?
Oh, I know all about you.
lydia smith
Right.
adam crigler
You know, it's like, no, you don't.
You have nothing about me.
Right.
Because I'm from one place, but I grew up here and like, everybody's different.
Everybody's different.
America's basically like 10 to 12 different countries.
lydia smith
At least, yeah.
adam crigler
You know, at the least.
Right, exactly.
tim pool
So what you do, like if that were me and I was in Europe and say I was in like France and someone's like, oh, American, I know.
I'd be like, oh, you guys love spaghetti in France, don't you?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
They'd be like, no.
lydia smith
Yeah, you're in Europe.
adam crigler
Yeah, but it's all Europe.
tim pool
What about schnitzel?
What do you mean?
I thought everyone in Europe had schnitzel and spaghetti.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
They'd be like, no.
adam crigler
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it makes sense that our numbers are spiking, especially when we have these people that are doing their spring break, like spring break hit recently.
And now all these stories are coming out where, well, the college students all went to spring break and flew during this pandemic and flew back.
And it's like, why are you flying right now?
Well, they weren't refunding the trip.
And it's like, great, great reason.
Yeah, honestly, like the college should have gotten in trouble for that.
Like saying like, there's a few different colleges that I'm reading about that are like, no, we're not going to refund this trip.
You know, you already spent the money and there's nothing we can do about it.
Sorry.
tim pool
And that's what people are worried about the couple hundred bucks.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's like, come on.
tim pool
Perspective, man.
Man, I guess we're going to see if it's going to... There are periods where it feels like it's getting better.
And we're like, oh, it's not so bad.
I think everything's going to be OK.
And the next day it's like, oh, the end is nigh.
lydia smith
Oh, this morning, I was like worried.
tim pool
Right.
Yeah.
I think people don't realize Trump saying like, look, it's going to be OK.
We can do this, really made people feel like it was going to be fine.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Because it's like you look to him and he's not worried.
So you're like, I'm not worried.
He's not worried.
Now he's worried and I'm like, oh man, now we have no cheerleaders.
Like everyone's being like, well, the end is nigh.
It was nice knowing you.
lydia smith
It's been real.
tim pool
We're digging graves.
They're digging graves in New York.
They're using prison inmates to dig graves.
adam crigler
I don't think the end is nigh.
I just, I am the ever optimist, I guess.
tim pool
It's not the end, it's a new awakening.
adam crigler
That's a good point of putting it.
It's going to be different.
tim pool
The hard reset on America.
We're mocking celebrities.
We're valuing more so real jobs.
People, food, nurses, truck drivers, grocery store workers.
adam crigler
truck drivers, store workers, yeah the people the real people that make life work
yeah like real life not celebrities showing us what life could be it's funny
If you had something perfect, or something horrible, or whatever the movie they're playing.
tim pool
That was a funny meme about the Mike Lindell, My Pillow Guy.
Someone tweeted, like, if only he sang Imagine on Twitter, then he would have been a brave hero in his bathroom.
adam crigler
What was it?
lydia smith
That's pretty funny.
tim pool
But that's what's funny.
That's what I was saying.
Like, if someone came up to the podium and said, I'm switching my factory to produce masks and then started preaching social justice and racial equity, they'd clap for it.
lydia smith
They'd think it was great.
tim pool
Right.
It's like, you know what, man?
There's no winning.
But hopefully people get over this stuff.
Because if it does get bad, you know, and look, we'll go back to the point about people starting to cherish more now real jobs.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Hopefully that's a shockwave for the system that gets rid of these weirdos who are obsessed about weird ideologies.
adam crigler
I don't really think there's any sort of a job issue because we're going to be making factories that make everything.
lydia smith
We're going to have a lot of work when this is over.
adam crigler
And I feel like Americans are kind of You know, cluing up to what is really important, not material stuff.
We overbuy everything.
You know, it's like fast fashion, you know, buying stuff we don't need just to like feel like you earned something, but it's not important.
Now we're like, we're realizing like, all right, we need food.
We need shelter.
lydia smith
We need to take care of our family.
adam crigler
Those two things.
And toilet paper, sorry.
But the priorities, and we don't make those things here, and that's gonna change.
There's gonna be a flare-up of stuff happening like that.
tim pool
Not to glorify how horrifying things will be, but...
If people truly see a shock to the system, like the real threat they face from the real world, then maybe they'll get their heads together and start thinking about what they actually need to take care of, their families, like the things you were talking about.
Because too many people, they feel so safe.
There's no threats, there's no worry, there's nothing to worry about.
They come up with fake causes to be concerned about.
Fake problems.
Yeah, well how about we take some super chats and then we'll get ready for the next segment which is the conspiracy at the Denver International Airport.
adam crigler
It has nothing to do with coronavirus!
tim pool
But this is interesting.
adam crigler
Isn't that great?
tim pool
They recently renovated and so there's a bunch of articles coming out talking about all of the conspiracies and how they're capitalizing upon it.
adam crigler
Wait, I thought they moved to a new location.
Is that not what you said?
tim pool
In the 90s.
adam crigler
Oh, in the 90s they moved.
tim pool
This is the new location.
adam crigler
I think.
lydia smith
It is, yeah.
tim pool
And so it's like this anniversary thing and they're doing construction so they're leaning
into the lizard people, aliens, Blucifer the horse.
Like they have a photo of it in the airport of it shooting lasers from its eyes.
I think it's funny and awesome.
adam crigler
Wait, wait, hold on.
I'm sorry.
The horse's name is Blucifer?
tim pool
Yes.
lydia smith
That's what it is called.
Yes.
adam crigler
You will notice when you see it.
lydia smith
That's pretty amazing.
adam crigler
It looks like that.
lydia smith
I kind of love it.
tim pool
Yep.

Dolores Ed says, I live in a rural area and I was told by a big box grocery store employee that the stores have been rerouting groceries to the cities in our state.
Certain foods haven't been restocked in a while.
adam crigler
Interesting.
tim pool
That's an excellent question.
I bet you do every day.
That is a very good question, mind you.
lydia smith
Excellent question.
tim pool
I don't know the answer.
adam crigler
I bet you do every day.
tim pool
Yes, that is correct.
In fact, I do.
SDK Lemon says, starting the show with F in Chet is almost tradition at this point.
I love it.
I forgot to press record.

And people are like, it's eight!

adam crigler
Yeah, we got to talk about that.
lydia smith
Yeah, we need to.
tim pool
Maybe we'll find time in this one.
lydia smith
Yeah, for sure.
adam crigler
I mean, we don't have anything pulled up, so.
tim pool
All right, so Joey Giggles says, so what happens first?
We lose ourselves to this virus and panic and turn on each other, or we actually work together for once and toss that stuff aside.
I hope we work together for once.
adam crigler
Yeah, I hope so.
I hope so.
That'd be great.

Oh?
tim pool
Is that, is that?
adam crigler
Oh, do I?
Is that the end of it?
tim pool
No, I think you said that.
adam crigler
Do I have a catchphrase?
tim pool
That's what you said the other day, I think.
adam crigler
I don't know, no!
lydia smith
I don't remember it, no!
I have to go back to it.
adam crigler
I say so many random things.
tim pool
Alright, let's see.
Rengie says, Timothy, if that is your real name, how's the gang today?
Rengie.
There you go, he said Rengie.
Yes, I believe the gang is doing well.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
The gang's all here.
adam crigler
The gang's here.
The gang's healthy also, which is good.
tim pool
We're very healthy.
Yep, we're eating better.
I actually had fish over rice today.
You know, I don't think I've been, you know, I've been having some unhealthy things, but there's things I want to do better, like less bread, you know.
So we did fish and rice, like onions and peppers.
It was really good.
adam crigler
I gotta have my sandwiches.
I love a good sandwich.
tim pool
I didn't see that.
I didn't see it.
No, you don't want to see it either.
And they won't take it down.
so young, torturing and eating live animals, and YouTube won't take her down? I did not
unidentified
see that. I did see that. You did? What? I didn't see it. I don't want to see it. What
lydia smith
is it? No, you don't want to see it either. And they won't take it down. I don't understand.
tim pool
Why not? Who is she? I don't know.
lydia smith
It's just a random thing.
adam crigler
The real question is, is it monetized?
No, I'm just kidding.
It's probably not.
tim pool
That's crazy.
All right, we got here.
Mark Taylor says, we're riding the line between Star Trek and Mad Max.
Oh man, please Star Trek.
adam crigler
Well, you know, it's really interesting that right there because we're actually at a focal point.
Where we could go either direction from here.
You know, we could spin out of control, and go full Mad Max, and just not learn from this, and not fix anything from this, and boom, we're in Mad Max in like 30 years.
Or, we can learn from this, move forward together, and boom, we can be Star Trek in, I mean, I wouldn't say 30 years, but.
tim pool
Don't you know your Star Trek lore?
Maybe we can go either way, man.
There was a massive global collapse, economic collapse of everything.
And it led to roving bands, regional in the US, fighting each other.
And then someone invented warp technology.
The Vulcans found out about us and came to Earth and helped rebuild everything.
adam crigler
Cool, I didn't know.
tim pool
So we technically, if you want Star Trek, we need Mad Max first.
adam crigler
So you gotta go through Mad Max country to find Star Trek land.
tim pool
Exactly.
adam crigler
Cool, alright.
tim pool
So just a little bit, and then we'll take a hard left once we get through.
Alright, where we at?
Marcel Defour says, in this time my only issue is what mono blue wizard do I want to run my EDH deck?
Any recommendations?
Also maybe a full UFO podcast in the future?
adam crigler
Well, it depends on how strong you want the deck.
The obvious answer is Urza because he's so brokenly strong.
But if you want others to want to play with you, you probably shouldn't use Urza.
tim pool
Thassa.
Not a wizard, I know.
adam crigler
It's so strong, too.
My goodness.
tim pool
I know a lot of people probably think it's too esoteric, but the Thassa deck with the Rashadun footpad is like a turn three win, and I've consistently hit it.
It's insane.
adam crigler
It's not fun.
tim pool
No, it's not.
unidentified
It's not fun.
tim pool
I'm like, man, this is ridiculous.
adam crigler
You know what's a fun blue general?
Teferi, the planeswalker.
That one's cool.
tim pool
All right, we are getting a bit too esoteric.
It's Magic the Gathering.
It's a game.
adam crigler
We're just talking about it.
Answering the super chat.
tim pool
Answering the super chat.
adam crigler
Clearly we're excited about Magic.
tim pool
Absolutely.
adam crigler
I quit playing.
tim pool
You totally quit?
adam crigler
Yeah, I quit Magic.
unidentified
How could you?
adam crigler
For a couple months.
tim pool
We'll see what happens.
adam crigler
Well, it's because of his Thassa deck and the Urza deck.
tim pool
Too much power.
adam crigler
It's power creep.
Too much blue.
There's way too much blue in everybody's decks in this house.
unidentified
Well, you know, we play red, green, maybe.
tim pool
All right, let's take some more Super Chats.
Elsa Blue Eye says, my wife and daughter call Tim shouty man.
I appreciate that.
I like that.
We should make a show with me yelling.
lydia smith
Sometimes I would jump when I would listen to Tim's videos because the first word out of his mouth is always very forceful.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
Holy Movie Star says, Ancient ritual site of a Mesopotamian war god that was used for animal sacrifices 5,000 years ago is uncovered in Iraq.
That's cool.
adam crigler
Alright.
tim pool
Alright.
Matthew Hammond says, Lucky Strike develops vaccine grown in tobacco.
Oh, I'm sure.
Mad Max says, so was Reactor's tweets an April Fool's troll?
That, I will maybe get into in a little bit, but for the most part, there's not much I can talk about.
I have no idea.
We'll see how things go.
Kaylee Pablo says, what about the Finland conspiracy, Timbo Slice?
What's the Finland conspiracy?
I don't know either.
lydia smith
I'm not sure.
I only know about their feminist young leaders.
tim pool
Oh, yeah?
Well, that has nothing to do with conspiracies.
Here we go.
Eleven Bravo says, Georgia announced shelter-in-place effective Friday.
Interesting.
lydia smith
And Florida?
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah.
Kyle Buchanan says, have y'all seen the Alex Jones as Doom Slayer on YouTube?
unidentified
Yes.
adam crigler
Yes I have.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh.
adam crigler
No.
lydia smith
Hilarious.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
But I've never seen anything with Alex Jones in it.
The only thing I know about Alex Jones is when this guy does his impression of him.
tim pool
There you go.
Apparently it's a good one.
I don't know.
So he says, it's like five minutes.
Please, commentary, please.
What do you want your job to be if World War III comes?
Oh man.
adam crigler
I would be a builder.
tim pool
Builder?
adam crigler
I'd be building stuff.
I'd be like a... Or, like, if we were, like, in the war, like, as soldiers or something?
Like, yeah, or, like, after?
tim pool
I don't know.
I mean, during, um, I would probably do nothing because I'm not in... If I had to be, if it was literally, like, literally everyone fights, the men, the women, the children, everyone pick up a weapon, well, then everyone's just kind of picking up weapons and, you know.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
What do you do?
You go around with a weapon and you fight invaders?
But I don't think... We're both too old.
We're too old, huh?
Oh, yeah, I mean if it got really desperate, okay, then they would start pulling the 35. We're too old, huh? Yes
Yep, we're officially old men as far as the military is concerned. What's the what's the limit?
I think they raised the limit for enlisting though. Oh, really? Yeah, I think they raised the age limit. Yeah, I
don't know I don't know anything about it. I mean, I'm sure someone
adam crigler
will comment and I'll know better Yeah, I've got a pretty funny story about a recruiter that
called me one time. What is it? Tell it Well, he called me and he goes hey, you know, I I see, you
know, you're graduating from high school soon And, uh, would you ever have thought about the military?
And I was like, yeah, I've a couple of my uncles have done it.
And, you know, I, I have thought about it because, you know, I didn't really know what to do.
And he's like, oh, that's great.
Uh, let me just ask you a few questions, you know, like, all right.
How are you physically fit?
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
I'm physically fit.
I'd say so.
Have you ever smoked pot?
Yes, almost every day.
He's like, okay, have a wonderful day.
I was like, oh, I guess that's a hard line.
That was like the second question.
I was like, wow.
like oh I guess that's a hard line like that's a weird is there I was like the
second question I was like wow like yeah sure but I mean I wouldn't if I enlisted
tim pool
I probably wouldn't be able to well look anymore but I can't believe that was hilarious
I can't blame them for saying no to a drug addict.
adam crigler
Clearly I was.
tim pool
Alright, let's see what we got here.
Brett Willett says, thank you for your consistent flow of important information.
God bless.
45 gang.
Let's see, Capticide says, Gumbo Spilling Beanie Wearing Fence Toast Milk Sitter Alt-Right Troll.
There you go.
lydia smith
That's his full title?
adam crigler
We need somebody to draw that out.
tim pool
We definitely gotta do this one.
Brett Hutchinson says, Tim, look into the Great Mud Flood.
Talk to Greg from the Armored Skeptic.
He's been digging into it.
Do you know what the Mud Flood Conspiracy is?
adam crigler
No.
tim pool
That there was a civilization before and it got wiped out by a giant mud flood.
And that's why buildings are built into the earth.
It's really cool stuff.
lydia smith
There's a little bit of that in Seattle, right?
Where they built it for the watery conditions and then the city just flooded and they built on top of it, right?
tim pool
Chicago did the same thing where they built multiple levels because of the water.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But there's like crazy examples where there's like doors halfway underground in areas that shouldn't have this.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Yeah, it's really weird.
Like arches like in the ground.
lydia smith
Over in Europe, huh?
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I think in the U.S.
too.
And so they believe that, like, hundreds of years ago, a great mud flood wiped out an advanced civilization, and then we rebuilt into it or something.
adam crigler
Okay, let's save it.
lydia smith
Let's do this.
adam crigler
Thank you for everybody who is bringing out these cool subjects that we can talk about other than coronavirus.
tim pool
Yes, definitely.
Joshua Carpenter says, Wuhan Virology Lab, Zhu Zhenli, Batwoman, Huang Yanling, patient zero.
Uh, okay.
What is this?
Botao Xia Whistleblower Bioweapon?
I don't know.
lydia smith
Do they think it's a bioweapon?
tim pool
I don't know.
lydia smith
Oh.
tim pool
TSmith Jones says, wonder if Joe Biden will ever get his Virtual Shield VPN sponsorship.
Hiding with Biden.
Would be nice, would be nice.
lydia smith
Hiding with Biden.
tim pool
Fearless Soldier says, been sending superchats and they haven't been getting read.
Message to Adam, one was about State of Decay is a permadeath game, and how America making everything will cause a price spike because minimum wage.
Yep.
Interesting.
So if you want to deal with wealth inequality and basically wealth inequality and having more access to people, then we need to manufacture things here in the U.S.
Because we outsource things, it creates the wealth disparity.
The people who own the companies have really cheap labor in China.
So the American poor buy products that their money goes to China and then the rich people get, it trickles up to them.
And so it's harder for there to be an equilibrium.
If we make everything here, the rich people are forced to pay for American standards.
So, if an American's like, I don't want to live that way, you gotta pay double, then you gotta pay double.
And that helps reduce the disparity.
There we go.
The one says, hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times.
This is from, I believe it's from like a dystopian novel.
It became like very popular with like traditionalists.
adam crigler
Yeah, you said it a few times over the past couple months.
lydia smith
Yeah, it's so weird to me that it comes from a novel.
tim pool
It's like a meme now.
lydia smith
It makes so much sense.
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
Like, who came up with it?
tim pool
What do they, what does someone call this?
It's like a truism?
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
It's not meant to be factual, it's meant to just make a point about- Make today's a greater point.
Yeah, something like that.
Alright, let's see where we at.
John Morganier says, have you seen weird stuff with Tom Wolfe and essential business waivers and the shutdown?
I have not.
I'm not super familiar.
unidentified
No, I haven't.
tim pool
All Metal Mike says, Tim, scientists have isolated the COVID-19 virus.
They said when they zoom in with a microscope, they can see the stamp saying made in China.
unidentified
Ha ha.
tim pool
Here we go.
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
Michael Connor says, so Shift has lost whatever was left of his mind with the investigation on Trump, or am I just not seeing the logic?
Adam Schiff wants to do another investigation.
He wants to have a post, like a 9-11 style commission reviewing the response to coronavirus.
It's like, dude, no, please.
When we're done with this, we're gonna go to the movies, like, and watch three movies in a row.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And then we're gonna come back and we're gonna have a big pizza.
And then I'm going to bed.
adam crigler
Why is he putting the resources into this now?
tim pool
They have nothing to do.
lydia smith
Why is this a good use of their time?
tim pool
Especially right now.
Yeah.
lydia smith
Aren't they supposed to be saving the world or something?
tim pool
Trump's response was too slow, but we're gonna waste time.
adam crigler
I bet he believes that he is saving the world by doing that.
unidentified
I don't know.
lydia smith
We're going to slow it down further.
tim pool
Some people are just really dumb, you know?
lydia smith
I don't understand.
What's their endgame?
Are they thinking...
tim pool
I don't know.
Boredom?
lydia smith
Really?
tim pool
Some people want to watch the world burn.
lydia smith
This is an interesting time.
adam crigler
I'm not bored.
I don't think that's what's going on through his mind.
I think he thinks Trump is truly the devil and he just wants to... I don't know.
...anything he can to get him out of office.
tim pool
I think it's self-gain.
lydia smith
It's gotta be.
adam crigler
With a dash of self-gain in there.
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
Super politics.
tim pool
There we go.
Where are we at?
Fearless Soldier says, any comment on the quarterings video about your bro?
No.
Bobcat says, what happens when people start hacking those drones?
They're terribly insecure, which is why the army banned them.
Oh, okay, so there's a good reason why they were banned.
lydia smith
That's an excellent reason.
tim pool
So, I have a story for you.
I was in Turkey, so Vice flew me out to this super rich person party.
It was actually kind of fun, and they made me drink something called a Raki.
It's like a... I don't like licorice, man, but it's an anise alcohol drink in Turkey.
So we were in this resort in... I can't remember the name of the city.
But, uh, it's a bunch of rich people bragging and, like, showing off their gadgets and someone had the Parrot AR drone.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Very, very early on.
And it was totally insecure.
So, I just, I know how they work.
I've hacked them.
We did a bunch of crazy stuff with them.
And so I just popped them on my phone and I took it.
And I took some pictures and I walked over to the guy and I showed him and he was like, whoa, wait, what?
And I'm like, these things, anyone can take it from you right now.
adam crigler
Yeah, wow.
tim pool
And he started laughing and then we talked for a little bit.
But you could, uh, Those old drones, there was no security on them.
If you saw it, you could literally just take your phone, connect to it, and then fly it away.
lydia smith
Oh, man.
That's awesome.
tim pool
Yeah.
Dude, I talked a lot about the dangers posed by drones.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And the government was so far behind this, it was horrifying.
Imagine what would happen if you're in New York City and a drone goes 35 miles over your head carrying a flashing package with a clock ticking.
You get the point I'm trying to make?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
What do you do?
lydia smith
Nothing.
There's nothing you can do.
adam crigler
Nope.
tim pool
And then it crashes and you just do it.
adam crigler
I couldn't do anything.
tim pool
You would do nothing.
lydia smith
You would have no way, no recourse.
tim pool
So we saw like the invention of drones that fire string, you know, and then they crash, whatever, but someone could fly in something dangerous and you couldn't stop it.
And if you did, it's coming down and people are getting hurt.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
And they could do it from 40 miles away plus.
With the right antennas.
Dude.
lydia smith
That is scary.
tim pool
Or you could even pre-program it.
adam crigler
Put a dirty bomb on it.
That's some scary stuff.
tim pool
And you could pre-program it to go to a GPS coordinate.
lydia smith
Throw some anthrax in there?
tim pool
Yep.
lydia smith
Oh yeah, it's over.
tim pool
Well, none of this stuff has happened, and I was actually talking to a researcher who said this is why he thinks that a lot of what you hear of as terrorism is not real.
What you're actually hearing of like in these other countries and stuff is often military conflict, and they call it terrorism for political reasons.
But terrorism being the idea that these people want to come and just disrupt our way of life and hurt us for no reason, If that were the case, he was like, you have no idea how much damage could be done with very, very simple things very, very easily.
lydia smith
Oh, absolutely.
tim pool
And that's why he's like, when they tell you it's about them hating our freedom or whatever, no, it's for them wanting resources.
It's for political gain.
It's for ideological gain.
And that's why it's rare they actually do come here and do it.
But it does happen.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, it does happen for sure.
All right, let's see, where are we at?
Gonzo Twin says, don't forget Massachusetts governor website on March 2nd promotes visiting Chinatown.
New awareness campaign promotes small businesses Chinatown.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, you know the problem with that is?
adam crigler
What?
tim pool
They tried to be, like, not racist, and it ended up making a very, very racialized moment.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's a good point.
Look how not racist I am.
lydia smith
You're putting the spotlight right on Chinatown.
tim pool
And then we all went to Chinatown, and then we all got sick.
lydia smith
Oh, wait.
unidentified
Right.
lydia smith
Wait a second.
Well, didn't Elizabeth Warren?
I think we saw that video from just the other day.
tim pool
Like Nancy Pelosi.
lydia smith
Yeah, yeah, right.
tim pool
You know, the issue is, if you go out, you get sick.
So by telling everyone to go to Chinatown, then everyone gets sick, and then people are like, hey, wait a minute.
lydia smith
Wait a second.
tim pool
Did they all get it in Chinatown?
It's like, well, they could've gotten it anywhere, but you were the one who made them do it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Oh, geez.
Matthew Emmons says, look up super micro China compromised motherboards.
Bill P, thanks for the super chat.
Super Bam Bam says, Tim, I feel bad for all the intel dudes watching me,
intelligence dudes watching me walk the dog.
Some things other men shouldn't see.
Student of history says, I'm going to be honest, someone's going to shoot it clean out of the sky.
Also, anyone enjoy Warhammer 40k?
If so, which race?
If not, what are you doing with yourself?
I'm doing a podcast, you know, we're talking about stuff.
lydia smith
We're just doing stuff.
tim pool
Thanks for the super chat, The Unrefined.
Method says, off-topic subject, but I have recently watched The Quartering and wanted to hear your side of the story that's going on with your brother.
Private family matter for the most part, and any smart lawyer would tell you not to talk about it.
Samuel Farmer says, Have you heard about a Korean Netflix show called My Secret Tarius, season 1, episode 10?
Talks about a virus just like COVID-19.
Interesting.
I'll check it out.
The Unrefined says, Half-Life Alyx is out, and Manhack will be real.
Have you played Alyx at all?
Have you played the other Half-Lifes?
adam crigler
A long time ago.
tim pool
They were good though, I hear, right?
I never played them.
adam crigler
I mean, when I first played Half-Life, man, probably like in 2000?
I don't know, maybe 2001?
I don't remember, but the graphics were incredible and the gameplay was smooth and buttery.
It was an awesome game.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
And, uh, yeah.
tim pool
It was a new one out.
People are stoked on it.
adam crigler
I haven't played it.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Cool.
tim pool
The2AVegan says, Tim, it's sad to see someone with your ability to think critically simply shut down and disregard veganism.
Adam, thank you for representing our community well.
I also think everyone should watch Dominion.
I think it's free online six-semper-tyrannous.
Well, I certainly agree with everything you said.
I have my opinions.
Adam has his.
We disagree, but that's the point.
You know, you get to see people talk about it, I guess.
adam crigler
Well, thank you.
tim pool
Yeah, I can't represent everybody.
That's why Adam's here to represent what I don't know.
There you go.
adam crigler
And I can say the same.
I don't represent everyone, but I just try to do me.
lydia smith
There it is.
tim pool
That's what people should do.
Colton says, the Chinese Wi-Fi toaster drone theory is the plot of a COD Black Ops 2 campaign where the Chinese-made drones are hacked and turned against the U.S.
I love it.
Matty Bone says, what's the news on the FBI corruption report from the IG?
Gotta dig into that.
adam crigler
I don't know anything about that.
tim pool
We'll get to it.
Antz says, Computing Forever's video says that anyone who dies of any cause as long as they happen to have COVID, that they count and the death count seems odd.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
My issue with this is that they do that for everything.
Okay, if you get the flu, and they know you have the flu, and then your heart stops, they say complications related to the flu.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So what people keep saying is they're like, oh, look, they're doing this with coronavirus.
That means this is special.
And it's like, but they do it with everything.
So the relative metrics are still the same.
I mean, maybe that's not.
But you know what, man?
This is the corruption of an ongoing, in my opinion, urban legend.
So what's the first thing we hear?
I got like five text messages.
My, you know, or I had friends telling me, my friend's grandmother, you know, in Italy died.
And I'm like, why am I hearing literally the exact same story?
Was it one person?
lydia smith
Copy paste.
tim pool
Now all of a sudden we're hearing people make videos that are derivative of this idea saying, you know, people are talking about it.
So I think, I think what's likely happening is that people don't understand.
All of a sudden now everyone's an armchair epidemiologist.
lydia smith
Yeah, which is a very specific branch of science that's not super interesting.
tim pool
I just mean, like, an armchair physician.
How many people cared about how they classified flu deaths before now?
lydia smith
No one cared about the number of ICU beds in any city.
And now we're looking at it and we're like, holy crud.
tim pool
Nobody went to hospitals before and now they're going, why are these hospitals empty?
lydia smith
Were you there before?
adam crigler
It could be normal?
tim pool
Maybe there were less people.
adam crigler
Is there a number somewhere that compares the difference to complicated deaths with pre-consisting conditions to completely healthy, no reason, other than they had coronavirus and died?
lydia smith
Like a 13-year-old or a six-week-old baby?
adam crigler
What's the difference?
What's the percentage there?
Is it like 80% people that have other issues?
tim pool
It's substantially more.
adam crigler
I really would like that number.
tim pool
If someone knows the number... We even saw from the Veritas video that one nurse saying it's people with diabetes, they're overweight, they're unhealthy.
adam crigler
But there was no ratio, like an exact number.
tim pool
We could probably pull it up.
I'm sure it exists.
And I'm sure it's obviously like pre-existing conditions, you know?
Mark Robert Shaw says, drone equipped with tear gas, maybe non-lethal rubber bullet guns.
Human police will get replaced with robots.
Go watch Robocop, the remake, and here we go.
So one of the things you'll need to realize about drones with guns is the recoil.
It's not, it's, it's gonna go and like...
adam crigler
Flip over and they're gonna have to like flip every time they fire because the blast is gonna- Yeah but this was a while ago and we were talking about the, what is it, UPS?
lydia smith
UPS drones.
adam crigler
Doing something that can go into the wind, 40 mile an hour wind, they can go 60 miles an hour and it's like if they're figuring that out, you know, and then like Boston Dynamics you can like kick the robot and it just like goes like this and it's like I'm good.
lydia smith
Don't kick the robot.
adam crigler
I'm good, you know, and it's like I'm I'm pretty sure that if someone wants to figure out how to put a gun on there with, like, some anti-stabilizers or something, that, like, you know... The problem is with, like, the, for now, the Boston Dynamics robot, you can give it a gun, alright?
tim pool
But it's not good at maneuvering, hiding, ducking, and it would be easily damaged.
Yet.
Right, yet.
lydia smith
Right.
adam crigler
Give it some, some, you know... I mean, you've seen what they've done in a few years.
tim pool
Did you see that video?
The hoax video? It was a prank.
Not a prank, but it was a video.
The robot takes the gun and turns on him.
adam crigler
There's a few of those floating around, but they're all good and funny.
Oh, these are all scary.
tim pool
Sean Ryan says, Going to start feeling like Half-Life 2,
just changed New York to City 17.
Or Division.
adam crigler

Justin says, check out Turkmenistan.
The government there has banned the word coronavirus and today someone tried to drive a train into the hospital ship Mercy in L.A.
lydia smith
What?
I just saw that story before we came on.
adam crigler
In L.A.?
lydia smith
In L.A., the Mercy ship.
tim pool
Tried to drive a train?
lydia smith
He tried to derail a high-speed train.
unidentified
What?
lydia smith
Into the hospital ship.
unidentified
Why?
lydia smith
I'm really curious what he was thinking.
adam crigler
What is the reason?
lydia smith
I don't know, maybe his ex was in there or something?
tim pool
Some people don't want to watch the world burn, man.
lydia smith
So weird to me.
adam crigler
That's a little specific.
People are weird.
lydia smith
I don't know.
tim pool
What's crazy is, you know that woman who ate the fish stuff with her husband?
Yeah.
She was not a Trump supporter.
She was a Democrat donor.
lydia smith
Heavy, heavy donor.
tim pool
And there's like, not confirmed or anything, but that's true.
That's been reported.
They found out who she was.
But there's also some rumors now circulating, and this has got to be researched, that she was trying to divorce her husband.
lydia smith
Huh.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Interesting.
tim pool
I don't know if that's true though.
It's just rumor, you know, stupid internet bubbling up stuff.
lydia smith
Well, you know when somebody dies, the first person they look at is the spouse.
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
Cause it's usually who it is.
tim pool
And she lives and he ate the fish, you know, poison or whatever.
What if, what if, what if she like just put it in his drink, he died.
And then she was like, but we thought it was safe to eat.
And she knew.
adam crigler
Cause she went to the hospital too.
So she must've been like.
tim pool
A little bit for me and more for you.
unidentified
Gotta do it.
adam crigler
Gotta make the story stick.
tim pool
But you know what?
I want to say it's even kind of unfair to bring this up for now.
Because what if she's just a woman who lost her husband, man?
I think it's so messed up.
Until we can prove it.
lydia smith
But she immediately started talking about how Donald Trump was the one who said to do it.
tim pool
But I think it's the media.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
She was being interviewed by probably countless people.
Why?
Why did you take the stuff?
Everyone was asking her over and over and over again.
tim pool
Here's how the journalists would do it.
They would say, so why did you eat this?
And she'll say, we saw that it was a pendulum treatment.
Was there any specific person who told you it was a good take?
lydia smith
An orange person.
tim pool
Right.
unidentified
No, no, no.
tim pool
They actually ask five times.
adam crigler
They did do that.
In the interview, you see it, and they're like over and over again, just like trying to dig into the story.
tim pool
And then they call it good journalism.
adam crigler
And then the final question was, do you even trust President Trump now?
And it's like, no, I don't trust him.
And it's like, what does it have to do with this?
tim pool
You were a Democrat donor in the first place.
adam crigler
Yeah.

So they were able to start rapidly expanding.
There was a massive economic boom to try and replace, so everybody was working like crazy and it was taken off, you know?

Arden Hart says, why do liberals never consider those who invest the most in the community deserves the largest return?
Same applies to nation states, corporations.
Question from Prometheus.
Is that LOL?
I don't know.
There's a lot more political philosophy in that question, depending on whether people actually believe that statement is true.
I think people who invest, depending on certain factors, deserve more, but it really just depends on the area in which they're investing.
I think there are issues with some people causing massive spike in prices of certain goods just because they're hoarding it.
You know, if you buy it in metal for the sake of having it.
So my understanding is that silver is basically the best conductor.
But because it's a financial commodity, it's hard to get.
It's too expensive to use for technology, so we kind of hurt ourselves in that capacity to use copper instead.
So, you know, it just really depends, man.

I recently had to go to a hospital to fix an issue at the hospital and was scary empty considering how many people I used to see.
So my understanding is that they're preparing for a potential exponential burst.
So they're trying to clear things out, you know, cancel elective surgeries and stuff like that, right?
lydia smith
Yeah, exactly.
So I heard that they were canceling elective surgeries.
They're preventing guests from visiting.
I do know that.
They're doing that same thing in nursing homes, especially.
tim pool
You know what the challenge is?
We're in front of it.
We're in front of it to a certain degree.
And if we end up, because we're in front of it, stopping it, people are going to say, oh, see, nothing happened.
So it's like, you don't want to be behind it.
lydia smith
No, you don't.
What is the saying?
They'll say it's too... we're too early until it's too late or whatever.

So it's a dude doing a... There's a legendary... We'll call it a stair set.
El Toro.
El Toro.

It's a school.

So it's pretty tall and pretty long.
adam crigler
It's crazy looking.
tim pool
A 360 flip is a... I don't want to call it advanced necessarily.
adam crigler
You have a little mini skateboard.
tim pool
Well, it's when the board spins 360 degrees and flips over one time.
I don't want to say it's like the hardest trick in the world, but throwing a tray flip down a 20 set, especially El Toro.
So it was like, what, seven, eight years ago, someone kick flipped it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And that was, I can't remember who did that, was it Dave Bichinski?
adam crigler
I don't remember.
tim pool
Somebody kickflipped it. That's when you jump, the board flips under your feet.
And this is massive. It's like probably, I don't know, eight or maybe like 10 feet high
and like 20 feet long and they're flying like 13, 14 miles an hour.
And this is the kind of thing where you get a couple tries and then you can't walk for six months.
adam crigler
Right, because you're hurt.
tim pool
This dude... He slammed twice before he... Well, no, several times.
Like four or five, maybe?
adam crigler
They showed the errors and then the almost land.
I mean, he put a hand down, but...
It was one hand.
tim pool
When he stuck it, he immediately flew back, rode for about 10 feet, and then spun out and jumped off.
adam crigler
I mean, the fence was right there anyway.
tim pool
Altoro?
adam crigler
Well, because the way that he was going left, there was a fence there.
So he was going to hit the fence anyway.
tim pool
I don't think it was a fence.
adam crigler
I thought so.
Well, there was something there that he would have had to stop anyway.
tim pool
That's history, man.
That's history.

Once the apocalypse is over.
And now onto the dive.
adam crigler
The deep dive, if you will.
tim pool
Into the most popular, wildest conspiracies surrounding the Denver International Airport.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
This is from February 27th, so it's not that long ago.
Friday marks the airport's 25th birthday.
So a bunch of stories popped up, specifically because it was the anniversary they were doing construction, and everyone loves to talk about the conspiracies at the Denver airport.
So, I'll read a little bit of this.
They say, are they foolish rumors taken one step too far?
Or is there some truth to the conspiracies of the Denver International Airport?
It depends on how far you're willing to let your imagination run wild.
For you, perhaps the truth is what you perceive as reality.
Or maybe it's just what you want to believe.
Or maybe it's basically anything that has yet to be disproved.
When examined with even just a sliver of truth, the proof of these conspiracies seems pretty
feeble and far-flung.
But Alex Renteria, a spokeswoman with the airport, said it's clear that that isn't stopping the hardcore conspiracy theorists.
And that's just fine by DIA, which is celebrating its 25th birthday Friday.
It's not as exciting as everybody wants to be, but I think that's why we love it so much.
Let's get excitement around our airport, and that's okay if people think we're weird and have the Illuminati and that aliens land their spaceships here.
That's fine with us.
Keep thinking it, and we'll keep trying to prove you wrong, but we're not afraid to embrace those conspiracies.
adam crigler
It's a publicity stunt.
tim pool
I think so.
I think so.
adam crigler
Yeah, I think so.
tim pool
Look at this.
They say it only gets more bizarre when you learn about the conspiracies of who calls these tunnels home.
Lizard people.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Lizard people.
unidentified
I believe it.
tim pool
That one is so wild to me, Renteria said.
I don't know.
I'm wondering if someone fueled it.
Somebody just decided that that was the case and they were like, now there's lizard people here.
lydia smith
That's exactly how that happens.
tim pool
Denver 7 previously reported that the lizard people are supposedly controlling the airport and can change forms as they work to rule the world.
Renteria said DIA is taking this one in stride.
In our marketing campaign in the Great Hall, there is a reference to lizard people in the tunnels.
She said, we know that rumor is alive and well.
adam crigler
And didn't Billy Corgan say that he witnessed someone, like, de-shed their skin and a lizard person popped out?
tim pool
Well, that was a super chat.
adam crigler
Oh, it was.
tim pool
I don't know... No, no, no.
adam crigler
I've actually heard that before, that super chat.
So it wasn't like that's where I, the only place I heard that.
The fact that I heard it again, I was like, ah, someone else is saying it.
unidentified
Hmm.
tim pool
Watching someone turn into a lizard?
adam crigler
Maybe it's true!
tim pool
Well, you know what, man?
unidentified
Anything's possible, you know, to a certain extent.
tim pool
Like, even if it was a .0000000000, I couldn't make zeroes, .1% chance that still could happen, I guess.
I just don't think they're lizard people.
I encourage anybody who does believe in it, keep believing, she said.
Who knows?
Maybe someday we will see a lizard person.
If there are no lizard people, are there at least aliens?
There are no aliens, she said.
This isn't a place where aliens can land their ship.
I guess that's what we call them.
No, unfortunately, I feel like that would be against FAA regulations for anything to land beside aircraft.
And how about the Illuminati?
The world's elites.
Will members bunker in the tunnels during the apocalypse?
Renteria said, this is also untrue, though she jokingly wished there was some truth to it, because she feels confident that she'd be able to nab a spot in the bunker if the world was indeed coming to an end.
I feel like the Illuminati would like a nicer place.
Don't get me wrong, I love our tunnels, but I'm just thinking that with all this money, if they're the world's elite, they'd want a nice place, some wallpaper, some marble floors.
adam crigler
Well, what's at the end of the tunnel?
tim pool
That's right.
Or in the secret sub-basement.
adam crigler
They just show the tunnels, but like, you gotta go down to the end, then you got the underground castle.
That's where they live.
tim pool
Well, the tunnel to the underworld, where the lizard people are.
adam crigler
Oh, excuse me, excuse me.
The underworld.
unidentified
Yeah, of course.
tim pool
She confirmed that no airport employees have ever reported any strange sightings in the tunnels, though there are some drawings that could possibly depict aliens.
Really?
Wait, in the tunnels?
Don't plan on sniffing around on your own to find the tunnel or lizard people.
DIA is, after all, an airport and security is very tight.
I'm sure people are very curious and want to walk into doors that are unmarked or say dangerous when there's really just like a furnace back there.
The public is not allowed in the tunnels due to safety hazards.
Conspiracy theorists may argue this is just another move to cover up the secrets of DIA.
adam crigler
Of course it is.
tim pool
Public spaces are public for a reason.
And we keep the public out of certain spaces for their safety and for the safety of others, Renterra said.
As we just saw, there's somebody welding nearby.
I mean, this is a total operation, so it'd be really hard to have passengers just hanging out down here.
She compared to the sewage systems.
The public simply isn't allowed down here.
There's one exception.
Travelers would be welcome to the tunnels if a tornado was threatening their safety.
There is one conspiracy in the tunnels she said she can take seriously.
There is an elusive soda machine that I've heard about that is 25 cents for a soda.
unidentified
Who knows?
tim pool
I've never found it.
That's the real conspiracy.
Okay, okay, okay.
So that's their official standard.
adam crigler
Nice.
tim pool
But let's do this.
This is a photo, and for those that are listening, let me describe it.
It is a Nazi, I guess, and he has a sword.
lydia smith
And a machine gun.
tim pool
And some kind of machine gun with a bayonet on it.
And he is stabbing a dove, it appears.
adam crigler
there's some weeping people surrounding him with like dead babies and people lying on the ground and it's a quite quite a horrifying picture you know i didn't notice this before you're about to move to the next one right oh yeah look at his gloves notice the gloves we were talking about the other gloves in the other picture yeah i didn't notice that those were the same gloves I mean, they're different color.
Oh, are they?
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Interesting.
tim pool
So you see this guy, right?
There's like a rainbow and then it turns to, I don't know, what does it turn into?
I don't know, smoke or something?
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
It looks like a spirit coming from this body there.
tim pool
To clarify, this is a mural at the Denver International Airport.
We're going to show you a bit more of the art.
So the next one we have is...
adam crigler
The continuation of it, right?
tim pool
Right. So there's the rainbow coming over to this side.
And in this one, it says, you know, a bunch of like, I guess it says peace in various languages.
You can see all of these different people, races and ethnicities of the world coming together,
where there is what appears to be, I guess, is it fair to say it's like an Aryan kid?
Blonde hair, blue eyed kid with an iron fist?
adam crigler
Yeah, I don't know.
tim pool
And a hammer. And it looks like he's destroying a sword, I guess.
I think it's the sword the guy had. Because look, there's the Nazi dude, I guess.
Yep, he's dead. He's dead. And they're the birds. They're alive and well.
And this dude looks like he's destroying a hammer.
lydia smith
There's an anvil.
adam crigler
It kind of looks like he's made of stone.
Looks like, look at his right arm.
It's like broken, like stone would break.
Even the, even the gun is broken.
tim pool
Oh, this guy.
You're right.
lydia smith
You're right.
adam crigler
And his leg, look.
lydia smith
Oh, you're right.
tim pool
Yeah, he's like made of rock.
lydia smith
He's falling apart.
adam crigler
Interesting.
unidentified
Huh.
tim pool
I mean, it looks like somebody was trying to make an all the people of the world coming together for world peace thing and they're like destroying it.
adam crigler
It's a really funky looking anvil too.
tim pool
Yeah, it is weird.
adam crigler
I'm assuming it's an anvil, but... So here's another photo.
tim pool
This is another one that gets people going like, the Freemason symbol!
Denver International Airport dedication capstone.
Wellington E-Web Mayor, and then it says, you know, March 19th, 1984.
New World Airport Commission.
There it is.
That's the proof.
Everyone says that's proof of the New World Order.
adam crigler
New World Airport.
tim pool
New World Airport.
So I think I might have, so here's a bunch of the other photos too.
This is from OutThereColorado.
What's up with the creepy apocalyptic paintings in Denver International Airport?
lydia smith
Great question.
tim pool
This one's got like, what is that, a penguin in a glass case?
lydia smith
So that's the other picture.
adam crigler
It's a pretty cute penguin.
lydia smith
Yeah, it's like a nature picture.
adam crigler
Is that a blue whale?
A humpback whale?
lydia smith
Yeah, there's like animals.
tim pool
Turtles.
lydia smith
Yeah, it's really weird.
tim pool
Then there's like the world with forests burning.
unidentified
And then there's these weird like... So that is the airport itself.
lydia smith
Those are the terminals.
Why is it... Yes, I have no freaking clue.
Birds are up there.
adam crigler
That looks great.
tim pool
What is it made of?
adam crigler
Is it like some kind of... That looks really cool.
lydia smith
It's like a tent.
unidentified
What?
adam crigler
I dig it.
I dig it a lot, actually.
I think it's really cool.
tim pool
I mean, yeah, sure.
lydia smith
It's like that, it's really heavy duty.
tim pool
Is it though?
adam crigler
Really?
lydia smith
I've never touched it.
adam crigler
Wait, is it soft fabric?
lydia smith
It is like, like reinforced fabric, like tarp almost.
tim pool
For real?
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
That's so weird.
adam crigler
I mean, and they built that in 94 and it's still like going strong.
tim pool
Cool. Well, then here's a here's a kid who's got a squirrel, but he's sad for some reason
unidentified
I'll tell you what if I had a squirrel I'd be happy. Yeah, there's a dead. Oh, there's a dead person. Oh, okay
adam crigler
That's why you said that's why that I get it's it's Hansel and there's great. Oh, what is this? Everyone's rushing
tim pool
Oh, it's another one of these. There's like a weird plant.
They're all like What's happening?
I mean, it's just weird art, you know what I mean?
It's like, here's that guy stabbing the bird again.
lydia smith
It's crammed full of symbolism.
adam crigler
Yeah, I made this joke where someone in the airport was like, we need some art, and anybody know any artists?
And someone's like, oh, oh, oh, I know an artist.
And they like calls up his second cousin, who's like desperate for work.
And he's like, hey, I got the perfect opportunity for you.
Bring all those great murals you bought about, or that you did about world peace.
Yeah, they're perfect for us.
tim pool
Look at this one.
Blue Mustang known colloquially as Bluecifer.
adam crigler
Oh, that's my future mayor.
Bluecifer.
tim pool
So this story is from the Denver Post and they're talking about how they've capitalized on it.
Like we heard from that woman already.
They're putting these, you know, conspiracy signs under construction or underground tunnels.
adam crigler
That's great.
I love it.
They're feeding into it.
tim pool
But what's with all the creepy art?
lydia smith
Only now that I've moved away does this seem super, super weird, because I lived there my whole life.
tim pool
And you were like, that's normal, there's a giant demon horse.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's what's there.
adam crigler
I wonder if that demon horse likes soy.
tim pool
I think it's simple, man.
The person who was running the show was into stupid, like, creepy art.
Are we creating the world's greatest airport or preparing for the end of the world?
adam crigler
you know it is what it is. Or their close significant other was like
oh let me get my artwork on there it's my only chance.
I keep coming back to that, I truly believe that's the case.
tim pool
Look at this picture, there's the blueprint firing lasers from his eyes
are we creating the world's greatest airport or preparing for the end of the
world?
You see what you don't realize is they're leaning into it to discredit
anyone so now if anyone's like oh I heard there's a conspiracy oh
it was an ad campaign. One of my favorite
pseudo conspiracy kind of ideas was that Men in Black the movie
was purposefully made so that if anyone ever said the Men in Black are real, they'd be like you mean that
movie? But the movie the Men in Black is based on
like this idea that government agents come and they erase your memory and stuff
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
It's, like, obvious.
But then, you know, I was reading a bunch of forums and it was funny.
They were like, now if anyone ever says they actually saw The Men in Black, they're gonna be like, you're just talking about a movie.
You're crazy.
lydia smith
That's legit.
There's a lot that goes on we don't get told about.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
That Men in Black are real?
lydia smith
Yeah.
You didn't know?
adam crigler
What do you know about it?
lydia smith
Nothing much.
tim pool
No, I'll tell you what.
adam crigler
You've been flashed.
tim pool
Men in black are real.
But people, we're talking about aliens and stuff.
adam crigler
Like there's actually men wearing black?
Sure.
tim pool
Yeah, they're real.
Exactly.
adam crigler
Sure, why not?
They have black suits.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, that's exactly it.
adam crigler
With brain neuralizers?
tim pool
No, not that part.
adam crigler
Oh, no?
tim pool
So what'll happen is, like, you'll be a witness to something or something, and then all of a sudden some government guys will show up, and they'll ask you questions, and they'll leave, and then people will be like, I don't know where they were from.
You know, they were saying all this stuff, and they were with the government, and things like that.
It's like, yeah, you know, this stuff happens.
Like, what do you expect?
lydia smith
Yeah, right?
tim pool
So, you know, well, this is the Denver airport.
I don't know what else to tell ya.
It's a creepy place, but I really doubt there's a sub-basement full of aliens or lizard people.
But I suppose if you truly would like to understand where the lizard people do come from, there's another conspiracy we must talk about.
lydia smith
Ooh.
tim pool
I love it.
Yeah, Operation High Jump.
Yes, I want to know about this.
And Admiral Bird.
Before we do!
adam crigler
I don't know anything about it.
I really want to.
tim pool
Super Chats.
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
Super Chats first.
All right, let's see.
Let's try and figure out where we are.
Oh, actually, we're already down, because that was actually a relatively quick super chat.
Let's see.
Oh, here we go.

I actually was at one point in the largest gathering of paintballing ever.
It was in PA in like 1998.
paintball or airsoft due to lockdown fields are closed going stir crazy not playing.
adam crigler
I actually was at one point in the largest gathering of paintballing ever.
It was in PA in like 1998.
There was like 4,000, 5,000 people at once in this like massive war.
It was so cool.
There was like skirmishes and like a big epic battle and like they broke, you know,
they split us all into different groups too and like you chose which side and it was like
red or blue, you know, but then it was it was epic and a lot of fun, but I have I played
a few times over the years and I always enjoy some paintball.
Right on.
tim pool
It hurts.
adam crigler
It's not pleasant to get hit.
tim pool
Eddie Dare says, have you guys seen the video of the Spanish nurse who recorded a bunch of filled body bags at a hospital in Manhattan?

Yeah.
tim pool
Best DGAF says, do you really think the evil corporations love specifically women and blacks?
Why don't they like the same people in Asia or China?
I think it's all about the money on all the roads lead to Rome.
It is.
It's money.
They won't badmouth China, but they go where the marketing dollars have them go.
So it's all about what they think will market well.
Oh, cool.
Oh, cool.
Andre Merrick says, 20% daily growth, 1,000 dead per day now.
We will be 1.1 million, cumulative in a month if not slowed down.
Masks for all.
Hopefully we've slowed it down.

It'll be slowed down, I think.
tim pool
Yeah, because we were on like a two-week lag for people who got sick.
lydia smith
Yeah.

That's correct.
Yup.

I still have it, actually.
And my favorite game for the original Game Boy was probably Zelda also.
tim pool
You know what?
I really liked Trojan for NES.
adam crigler
I also really liked Tetris a lot, too.
Gosh, that's a good game.
tim pool
Alright, where were we?

adam crigler
We are looking forward to it.
tim pool
Socialism says, don't you guys think it's really cool that we are all living inside a history book now and your videos might be used to teach students later down the road?
Oh no, that's creepy.
Now I gotta think twice about what I'm saying, huh?
Nah, it's cool.

Mountain Man says, hey Tim, I love your work.
Keep it up.
Appreciate it.
adam crigler
No, they would just code the robots that would mine.

Yeah.

I appreciate it.
lydia smith
Thank you.
tim pool
And now on to the more interesting, crazy of the conspiracies for which people will be upset because we're not conspiratorial enough.
lydia smith
Yes.
unidentified
First.
adam crigler
One person.
tim pool
First.
lydia smith
Whatever.
tim pool
I'm just kidding.
Evidence of ancient rainforests found in Antarctica.
adam crigler
This is awesome.
tim pool
This is from April 1st.
It's from today!
lydia smith
What?
tim pool
And it's from the most credible source, the most trusted name in news, CNN.
Which means it must be true.
Okay, so it's not- Conspiracy confirmed.
adam crigler
It's not an April Fool's thing?
It's not an April Fool's joke?
tim pool
I don't know.
lydia smith
Just checking.
adam crigler
Yeah, because I was looking for news today, and I'm like, man, how do I know if anything is real today?
Because everyone just goes nuts.
tim pool
The worst day in the world, man.
lydia smith
It sucks.
tim pool
So, the story itself, we have this Medium post showing Admiral Byrd's flight, 1947, where apparently you can go into the center of the Earth from the North and South Poles, and there's Agharta.
lydia smith
Oh, cool.
tim pool
The land of advanced races, a central sun, which kind of makes the earth seem like a Dyson sphere of some sort, and then the city of Shambhala.
But we'll talk about this.
The first thing I do want to highlight is that the story is basically that this dude, or what I was told, goes down to Antarctica and finds, like, lizard people and fights them or something.
And wins?
Come on.
adam crigler
I don't know.
tim pool
Or runs away.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
But this is a story from CNN about there were ancient rainforests found in Antarctica, and it's interesting enough.
Let's read a little bit of the real news, and then go on a fantastical voyage.
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
They say when dinosaurs roamed the Earth 90 million years ago, the planet was much warmer, including Antarctica at the South Pole.
But in a surprising twist, researchers have discovered evidence that Antarctica also supported a swampy rainforest at the time, according to a new study.
Researchers captured a slice of the sea floor using a drill rig aboard a polar research vessel on West Antarctica's Amundsen Sea between February and March 2017.
The sediment core sample was taken near the Pine Island and Thwaites Glaciers.
CT scans of the sediment core revealed pristine samples of forest soil, pollen, spores, and even root systems so well preserved that they could identify cell structures.
The soil included examples of pollen from the first flowering plants found this close to the South Pole.
Wow, that's incredible.
adam crigler
Very cool.
tim pool
They dated the soil, its fine-grained clay, and silt to 90 million years ago.
Their study published Wednesday in the journal Nature.
During the initial shipboard assessments, the unusual coloration of the sediment layer quickly caught our attention.
It clearly differed from the layers above it, said Johan Klages, study author and geologist at the Alfred Wegener Institute.
We had found a layer originally formed on land, not in the ocean.
Scientists know that during the age of the dinosaurs, conditions were warmer.
The mid-Cretaceous era, from 80 million to 150 million years ago, was the warmest period for Earth in the past 140 million years.
The researcher said, the surface of the sea likely reached 90... whoa!
The surface of the sea likely reached 95 degrees Fahrenheit in tropical areas,
and the sea level was 558 feet higher than it is now.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Yes, seriously.
But there has been no evidence about what conditions were like in the South Pole.
This is the southmost sample of the Cretaceous period collected so far, revealing what Antarctica was like between 83 and 93 million years ago.
Conspiracy time!
unidentified
Yes!
tim pool
What if there is an ancient race that once inhabited these foresty areas 80 to 150 million years ago.
Intelligent dinosaur-like creatures.
And they struggled to survive in the pits of the caves of Antarctica and went to battle with Admiral Richard Byrd.
I don't know if that has anything to do with Admiral Richard Byrd or anything.
lydia smith
I love it.
tim pool
But there's this Medium post.
So this is the first thing, admittedly, one of the first things that comes up when you search for Admiral Byrd and, like, fighting lizard people and stuff.
It's, uh, The Strange Hollow Earth Case of Admiral Richard Byrd.
It's a Medium post, so it's from Alexandria Duxworth.
I don't know who that is, or whether she's credible or not.
But let's, uh, let's read the story of Hollow Earth.
She writes, Medal of Honor recipient Admiral Richard E. Byrd allegedly wrote his encounter with a lost civilization in Antarctica.
According to Hollow Earth theorists, Byrd met ancient race underground in the South Pole.
How was this left out from Bird's mission, Operation High Jump?
Could it be one big hoax conspiracy theorists love to fantasize?
According to Bird's diary, the government ordered Bird to remain silent for what he witnessed during his Antarctic assignment.
March 11th, 1947, quote, I have just attended a staff meeting at the Pentagon.
I have stated fully my discovery and the message from the master.
All is duly recorded.
The president has been advised.
I am now detained for several hours.
Six hours, 39 minutes to be exact.
I am interviewed intently by top security forces and a medical team.
It was an ordeal!
lydia smith
Four exclamation points.
tim pool
Four exclamation points.
I am placed under strict control via the national security provisions of the United States of America.
I am ordered to remain silent in regards to all that I have learned on the behalf of humanity.
Incredible!
adam crigler
In all caps.
unidentified
All caps.
lydia smith
Three exclamation points.
tim pool
That's how you know it's serious.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
I am reminded that I am a military man and I must obey orders.
Now here's the question I have.
If this is real, did they write in all caps in books?
Like before the internet?
lydia smith
I don't know.
tim pool
Or is that an internet thing that someone like kind of a wink wink at the audience?
lydia smith
They did OMG before there were computers in like the 1700s.
tim pool
They did?
lydia smith
Yeah, they did.
I saw it.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
After many polar accomplishments, Byrd organized Operation High Jump in 1947.
The objective, construct an American training and research facility in the South Pole.
I mean, that's cool.
A simple military task, right?
Some say the American government sent their troops to the South Pole for any evidence of the rumored German base 211.
Nazis were fascinated with anything regarding the Aryan race.
They traveled all over the world, including Antarctica, to learn more of alleged origins.
The Germans did make their mark in the South Pole.
What they have discovered doesn't compare to what Bird recorded in his diary.
Agartha, Antarctica's secret.
So there's a flying saucer to Venus, apparently.
adam crigler
How did he know that's where it was going?
tim pool
Did he draw this?
adam crigler
Oh wait, yeah, what is this from anyway?
tim pool
I don't know, Big Think?
adam crigler
This isn't from the same person, huh?
tim pool
Inside the Hollow Earth via Big Think.
adam crigler
I don't know, okay.
tim pool
We'll open this one, we'll see what this is.
lydia smith
That's so cool.
adam crigler
Center of of gravity 400 miles down and then what you can go inside and walk like normal or something The Sun in the middle of it Shambhala, you know one of the earliest movies I ever remember seeing I don't remember how old I was I must have been like three or four But I was at my grandma's house And it was Journey to the Center of the Earth.
And I remember it being so epic.
Like, I was just like, I want to be that scientist that, like, discovers the lizards.
They find, like, dinosaurs, massive, huge mushrooms that are, like, bigger than houses.
And I just, I thought that was so cool.
I mean, I knew it was not real.
lydia smith
That's so cool.
tim pool
Don't you want this to be real?
unidentified
But it was awesome.
adam crigler
It's like my first memory of a movie is that.
tim pool
Don't you want this to be real?
adam crigler
Kind of.
Yeah.
tim pool
How exciting would that be?
adam crigler
It would be amazing.
tim pool
I know that there's like this saying people say, I was born too late to explore the world and too early to explore the stars.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
That's not true.
It's just people don't want to explore the earth.
lydia smith
It involves a lot of the ocean.
tim pool
Well, right, but also because we have a satellite picture of certain islands or certain areas of like, I don't know, the Yukon.
lydia smith
We haven't explored that.
tim pool
Yeah, we haven't gone up there.
adam crigler
Go.
tim pool
Go walk around.
Go to the Amazon.
Walk through the jungle like you'll find stuff.
lydia smith
Hard work.
tim pool
It's crazy.
There's probably ancient ruins.
There are tribes in the Amazon we've never contacted.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
No.
So there's certainly things they probably have.
I mean you can get in trouble if you go do that.
adam crigler
There's this site that I was on and it helps you identify grave robbers in like ancient ruins.
I don't remember exactly the name of the site.
It was really cool because they Basically crowdsourced other people to help them look they would give you like you'd see this square of a and it was a satellite image of a random place in Egypt or South America somewhere all these different places and it They they kind of teach you how to look for if someone has been digging like if it was near like an ancient looking site you would flag it and then if enough people flagged it and
They would go check it out.
And it actually worked.
They actually started finding people that were digging in ruins and actually taking artifacts out of the ground to try to sell them.
Nice.
And I saw a lot of cool things.
It was so intriguing just to see snippets of the earth and you'd see what country it is, but that's all it gave you.
It's like, it's this country.
So you'd know it was like these old ancient sites.
tim pool
Well, let's keep reading this, but I do want to mention I watched this really interesting YouTube video about how they think they found where Atlantis was in the Sahara Desert.
adam crigler
Oh, cool.
tim pool
Because there used to be coastal.
Yeah.
And then when the waters receded or whatever, it just became a barren wasteland.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
We can talk about that tomorrow.
adam crigler
Oh, that's cool.
tim pool
Let's read this.
She goes on, for thousands of years, people all over the world have written legends about Agartha, sometimes called Agartha or Agarthi, the underground city.
But did Bird find it?
He met the master, the city's leader, who told him of his concerns about the surface world.
Quote, our interest rightly begins just after your race exploded the first atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.
It was that alarming time.
We sent our flying machines, the Flugelrads.
That sounds like something out of Rick and Morty.
lydia smith
Flugelrads?
That sounds like something you would come up with.
adam crigler
They're powered by plumbuses.
lydia smith
Yes, indeed.
tim pool
To your surface world to investigate what your race had done.
You see, we had never interfered before in your race's wars and barbarity, but now we
must.
For you have learned to tamper with a certain power that is not for your men, mainly that
of atomic energy.
Our emissaries have already delivered messages to the power of your world, and yet they do
not heed.
Apparently the government knew about Agartha before Byrd.
According to the Master, places such as Tibet, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and the North Pole all have tunnels leading to Agartha.
What else did the Master teach Bird?
What about the rest of Operation Highjump Crew?
Bird didn't uncover the underground world alone.
Whether the whole hollow earth story is fact or fiction, it's great to imagine there are still hidden civilizations out
there in the world.
It is.
It's so interesting. Well, I'll tell you what.
adam crigler
Go back to the image of the Dyson Earth.
tim pool
Dyson Earth.
adam crigler
Do you think flat earthers are out there like, oh, I knew it was something.
tim pool
We were close.
adam crigler
We didn't have it exactly, but this is it!
tim pool
No.
Somewhere.
Look, it's... I mean, it's still a globe, but... Somewhere, a bunch of, like, middle-aged dudes in glasses walk into a parking lot with brass knuckles and chains.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And then across from them comes another bunch of dudes with, you know, middle-aged guys holding flat-earth, you know, uh... I'm not gonna call it a globe, but models.
And then they run towards each other and they're fighting, chains are flying, bats are swinging,
someone pulls out a katana, someone's got a pitchfork.
adam crigler
It's a Dyson Earth!
No, it's flat Earth!
unidentified
No, it's a Dyson Earth!
tim pool
So inside hollow Earth.
Oh, it's the same image, basically.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So, yeah.
So this is basically the image that goes around, but here's what, here's what we should do.
Well, actually, let me read this.
A more recent theory suggests a hollow earth inhabited by creatures that fly UFOs across our skies or by dwarves, dragons, other lost races, or ascended masters of esoteric wisdom.
adam crigler
It's getting further and further down the rabbit hole.
tim pool
You know what man?
It's just becoming a catch all for what people want to exist.
adam crigler
Or a guard of hole?
tim pool
A guard of hole, right.
Well here's the actual Operation High Jump.
The objectives according to the US Navy report, training personnel and testing equipment in
frigid conditions.
Consolidating and extending the United States sovereignty over the largest practicable area of the Antarctic continent publicly denied as a goal even before the expedition ended.
Determining the feasibility of establishing, maintaining, and utilizing bases in the Antarctic and investigating possible base sites.
Developing techniques for establishing, maintaining, and utilizing air bases on ice with particular attention to later applicability Of such techniques to operations in interior Greenland, where conditions are comparable to those in the Antarctic.
Amplifying existing stores of knowledge, electromagnetic, geological, geographic, hydrographic, and meteorological.
Interesting.
And supplementary objectives of the Nanook expedition.
And I'll tell you what I think, Evan.
If it's true this Admiral Byrd guy said all these things, isn't it just more likely that the dude had, like, late-onset schizophrenia?
adam crigler
Yeah.
unidentified
That's about it.
lydia smith
He may have gotten really cold and had some hypoxia and hallucinated.
adam crigler
How many people were on the mission with him?
tim pool
A bunch of other people, I guess.
lydia smith
Navy dudes or, yeah, military dudes.
adam crigler
Yeah, but back then it was like...
Well, I guess it was in the 40s.
It wasn't that bad.
tim pool
Does Wikipedia talk about it?
Okay, here we go.
Let me zoom out, because they do bring it up.
They do bring up The Secret Land.
The documentary about the expedition, The Secret Land, was filmed entirely by military photographers and narrated by actors Robert Taylor, Robert Montgomery, and Van Helflin.
Oh, so this doesn't have anything to do with it.
No, it's just like... Yeah, you go in here and there's nothing fun.
You'd think they'd at least mention it, right?
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Because people talk about it.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
I would, I, you know, it's a, it's a comforting lie.
It's, it's, it's fun to imagine and people want something to be more exciting than it really is.
I'll tell you what, we're living in history.
Like, you know, our friend over in the super chat said.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
We're living it.
We're in the history books.
lydia smith
Isn't that weird?
Because to us, it seems like worrying.
And kind of bothersome.
tim pool
History is condensed.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
So in 100 years, they're gonna read the whole pandemic as gonna be one paragraph.
In 2019, you know, this happened.
lydia smith
X number of people died.
tim pool
And then in 2021, as they moved on from the pandemic, escalation with China, you know.
adam crigler
And there was a baby blip.
lydia smith
There was a baby blip.
tim pool
Yep.
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
And then as you know, in the 2050s, the cronials staged a major uprising.
lydia smith
Yeah, they would.
tim pool
They carried the infection and it wiped out the rest of humans around us.

Dude, that didn't stop.
tim pool
All of the authoritarians of the world just got exactly what they wanted.
The protests, they cracked down.
There was still some yellow vest stuff I saw recently, but we'll see if this keeps going because now it's a moral imperative.
How dare you put us at risk?
lydia smith
Well, yeah.
How do you justify that to yourself, staying out in the street when your family could be at risk?
tim pool
Well, I'll tell you what.
Hundreds of thousands of feminists protested March 8th in Spain.
They had been warned on March 2nd by the European CDC that this was going to get bad.
And now the government is being, there's a criminal complaint being filed against the president of Spain, I guess, with the story Español said.
lydia smith
Yeah, the Spanish government.
tim pool
