How's it going, everybody? | |
Welcome to the TimCast IRL podcast. | ||
I am Tim Poole, joined by... What's up, everybody? | ||
Adam Krigler here. | ||
How's it going? | ||
And always... The Invisible Lydia. | ||
The Invisible Lydia. | ||
Boy, do we have a show for you tonight. | ||
Zombies, man. | ||
They're real. | ||
We were just talking about what the title should have been, and Adam was like, you should put that, like, zombies are real. | ||
And I was like, I don't know. | ||
Well, it would have been in parentheses. | ||
Parentheses? | ||
We put, like, we're kidding, they're not real, but I mean, like... So, there have been a series of stories over the past couple of weeks. | ||
I don't know why they're highlighting this. | ||
Because I'm sure people bite each other all the time. | ||
They're prepping the general public for the COVID-infected bites that are gonna come. | ||
Dude, it's happening. | ||
We have stories from a couple days ago. | ||
Cop got bit. | ||
But here's the thing, we have another story for the next segment. | ||
Rats have started eating each other too. | ||
Now, we know why, because we did do a segment on what rats were going to do, and cannibalism was one of them. | ||
But let's just pretend, because we're bored, that they're actually COVID-infected and the animals are also becoming zombies too, because that's just, you know, more fun than real life. | ||
Well, I'm actually glad that's not the case, because the monkey would have been a lot more scary to watch if they were actually ripping each other apart instead of just fighting. | ||
Oh, dude, you know what I want to do? | ||
Make like a short little fictional thing showing the monkeys fighting and then do like a VO for like a short film about zombies. | ||
Okay. | ||
You could actually take existing footage today talking about the amount of people infected. | ||
Like you could show Anderson Cooper being like 200,000 people infected and then like show the monkeys fighting and like news stories go like dun-dun-dun-dun. | ||
You could actually convince someone zombies are real if you did that. | ||
I mean, look at these stories, man. | ||
But other than that, we've got food shortages coming, so I guess the through line for this, for tonight, is going to be the fact that people eat stuff. | ||
Whether it's other people, rats, or food. | ||
Food plants are shutting down. | ||
And then for the last segment, we have... This is an exclusive from the Post Millennial. | ||
They're saying they've viewed documents showing the Canadian military is going to get rid of gendered language. | ||
This is insane, and that's why I almost don't believe it. | ||
So we'll take it with a grain of salt, but we'll go through it. | ||
How could you function if you can't say he, her, him, his? | ||
Like, this is English. | ||
We don't speak, you know, I don't know, Swedish. | ||
Swedish doesn't have gender language, does it? | ||
They actually do. | ||
They actually have a him and a her, and then they have a third that is for not him or her. | ||
I mean, we do too. | ||
It, they, them. | ||
No, no, that's, that's, well, I mean, we'll go into it in the subject, because, but that's not the same thing. | ||
You know, if we used it, that would solve the problem. | ||
Because it is singular, you know what I mean? | ||
Yeah, okay. | ||
But nobody wants to be called it. | ||
Nope, they don't. | ||
I wouldn't mind. | ||
Yeah, I mean, I mean, I have some things to say, but I feel like I want to just wait for the subject line, you know? | ||
Right, right, right, right, we'll do it, we'll do it. | ||
All right, so before we get started, you can go in the super chat and ask questions or make statements because we end up reading most of them. | ||

You can send me story stories. | ||
Sometimes I read them, sometimes I get bombarded and can't see them all, but for the most part I can see some cool stuff. | ||
I appreciate you guys. | ||
Let's jump into the first story. | ||
Check this out. | ||
It's from Sky News a couple days ago. | ||
Policewoman bitten on the arm while explaining COVID-19 lockdown rules. | ||
Greater Manchester Police released photos of the injury suffered by the 21-year-old PC after she was attacked in Rockdale. | ||
Alright, I'm gonna give you guys who are watching a warning. | ||
You can see the bite almost on screen. | ||
I'm gonna show it, just so you know. | ||
She got bit! | ||
That's a bite, dude! | ||
That's a legit bite. | ||
You can also see how the teeth are crooked, because you can see how the lines are. | ||
This was like a ravenous bite. | ||
So we were actually thinking, will she now get infected with COVID from a bite, considering it's a respiratory illness? | ||
I think so. | ||
You think so? | ||
Well, I mean, well, did the person have COVID? | ||
I mean, we don't even know, actually. | ||
We don't know. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, we don't know. | |
Because it was just, they were just explaining the quarantine situation. | ||
It was a guy. | ||
A man did it. | ||
He bit a female officer on the arm. | ||
What the heck, dude? | ||
Yeah. | ||
And she was explaining the rules. | ||
Now, here's the crazy thing. | ||
Toxic masculinity, I'm telling you. | ||
Wait, wait, wait, hold on. | ||
It's real. | ||
Why would he bite her? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Two officers were punched and then bitten. | ||
What is the whole point? | ||
Because what was he doing that he became that aggressive? | ||
Unless unless zombification is phase two. I mean, you know, you you got a thing kidding by the way | ||
Was it just go grabbing her arm and biting or was it like a tussle? | ||
I didn't so I punched two other cops. So they were probably like wrestling and he just | ||
bit I mean... There's a couple other stories real quick, and then we'll read what happened. | ||
Check this out. | ||
We have this one from Crime Online. | ||
They say quarantine man runs naked from his house, bites woman to death during coronavirus lockdown. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
It's like an 80 year old woman or something, right? | ||
How often do you hear stories about people biting other people to death? | ||
I mean, I don't know, but you know, there's a lot of earthquakes all the time in California, and now everyone's talking about it. | ||
So is it that people bite normally? | ||
Krakatoa erupted. | ||
And it's just like a human thing to bite? | ||
I think that's it right there. | ||
So I did a segment, Krakatoa erupted. | ||
Do you know what Krakatoa is? | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
It's famous. | ||
1883, it was heard actually 3,000 miles away, and a bunch of people died from the shockwave. | ||
And so now there's news coming out that Krakatoa erupted, and people are all going like, oh man, the end of the world because this huge volcano is erupting. | ||
It erupted apparently two years ago. | ||
Oh, really? | ||
Yeah, nobody cared. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Now it's like, oh, bright. | ||
But now that we have all this crazy stuff going on, people are bored. | ||
But man, those pictures are really cool. | ||
If you haven't checked them out, there's like lightning flying out of the top. | ||
We're not done. | ||
Check this out. | ||
This is a story from April 4th. | ||
See, this bugs me. | ||
Coronavirus patient bites nurse's face after she tried to stop him escaping from quarantine. | ||
Dude, she got bit on the eye. | ||
Yeah, that sucks. | ||
That's crazy, man. | ||
That's a really terrible spot to get bit. | ||
But it looks like her eye is okay. | ||
She got bit. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Now, check this out. | ||
unidentified
|
Jeez. | |
UK cops warn suspects are using coronavirus as a weapon. | ||
Now, is that because they're consciously trying to bite and spit on people or because they're zombies? | ||
unidentified
|
Let's go with number two. | |
Let's just pretend. | ||
What's funny about all these stories is that of course they're not zombies. | ||
Of course not. | ||
But this is literally how a zombie apocalypse would happen if it was. | ||
Like we were talking about this before, like Shaun of the Dead. | ||
You'd see news reports of people getting sick, of someone biting somebody, and you'd think nothing of it. | ||
But let's read this first story and figure out why exactly she got bit. | ||
They say, Greater Manchester Police released photos of the injury suffered by the 21-year-old PC after she was called to reports of a man causing disturbance in Rockdale. | ||
Officers tried to explain to the man that he should not be going to other people's homes following the government guidelines to tackle the COVID pandemic, the force said. | ||
While trying to engage with the man, two officers were punched and the 21-year-old was then bitten. | ||
She attended hospital following the incident on Thursday evening before being discharged to | ||
recover at home. Days earlier, she had been delivering Easter eggs to children while out | ||
on patrol. Okay, this story's got so much wrong with it. | ||
Wow, oh my. | ||
Is that basically saying he's a homeless guy? | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
So let's actually slow down for a second. | ||
So polite. | ||
has been charged with two counts of assault by beating of an emergency | ||
worker and one kind of criminal damage. Is that basically saying he's a homeless | ||
guy? Yes. So let's actually slow down for a second. So polite. The cops were trying to tell a | ||
homeless guy that he had to go home and then they try they try shoot like | ||
jamming in this thing where it's like she was giving out Easter eggs to | ||
Right. | ||
I don't care. | ||
That's total propaganda, trying to make us sympathize. | ||
Look, you already got my sympathy. | ||
Dude bit you. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
Crazy homeless guy. | ||
But this is nuts, man. | ||
Did you see there was a viral tweet? | ||
Where the police in some part of the UK were like, Think having a picnic in the middle of nowhere and you'll be safe? | ||
Think again! | ||
Oh yeah. | ||
We'll pop out of the shadows and get you! | ||
Right, I saw that. | ||
Yeah, what the? | ||
What is going on? | ||
Dude. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
What do they think homeless people are supposed to do? | ||
What home? | ||
Yeah, go home. | ||
Go home where? | ||
Where do I go officer? | ||
They said they're telling him he can't be going between people's houses or something. | ||
What do you, what is that supposed to mean? | ||
What does it say? | ||
I don't know. | ||
The more we read into this, the less I trust it. | ||
Going to other people's homes. | ||
What is he supposed to do? | ||
He is due to appear at the Manchester Magistrates' Court on Saturday. | ||
GMP Chief Constable Ian Hopkins described the attack on an officer during the coronavirus pandemic as just the lowest of the low, writing on Twitter, words fail me when it comes to some people's behavior. | ||
You know what, all I can think is, harumph I say! | ||
unidentified
|
How dare you, sir! | |
We were trying to corral you to do what we wanted you to do and you said no. | ||
He said pictures of the officer's bite injury were quite graphic, but he hoped they helped people understand the vicious nature of this attack. | ||
I guess because we're in the pandemic, everything is related to the pandemic. | ||
Everything is. | ||
So if someone gets bit, they're gonna be like, the pandemic. | ||
You know? | ||
But zombies, they're real. | ||
It's happening. | ||
But it's like, I actually wonder, we should have looked, maybe we should have done this before, looking up the stats for how often a cop is bit. | ||
I can look it up. | ||
Yeah, look up bite crime. | ||
Bite crime. | ||
Bite crime. | ||
I don't know what else you'd look for. | ||
Have you ever said that before in your life? | ||
Have you ever heard it? | ||
Has anyone? | ||
Bite crime. | ||
Lydia, pull up bite crime statistics. | ||
I'm gonna Google exactly that. | ||
Bite crime. | ||
And while you do, I mean, this one, if there's any story, so first of all, the first story we ever saw about this, I think it was in India, Where a guy went to a checkpoint, and they tried to stop him, and then he went nuts, ripped his clothes off, and started biting people. | ||
What's up with the ripping the clothes off thing? | ||
I don't get that. | ||
I don't know. | ||
It's a new trend. | ||
I don't get that. | ||
There's something about being crazy and being naked that go hand in hand. | ||
It's very exhilarating, huh? | ||
Yeah, I don't know. | ||
It's the adrenaline pumping. | ||
You get all amped up. | ||
Just, I need to feel the air on my skin. | ||
No, no, yeah, yeah. | ||
Remember the Kony 2012 guy? | ||
No, what was that? | ||
Do you remember what Kony 2012 was? | ||
No. | ||
This video came out. | ||
Was that in 2012 when that came out? | ||
Yeah, it was 2012. | ||
It was like the stupidest documentary I'd ever seen. | ||
Because it starts with this thing about social media and it's like, we can all come together and share ideas. | ||
And it shows the globe and people with phones. | ||
And then all of a sudden it turns into something about this very specific warlord in Uganda that I don't care about. | ||
Okay. | ||
And they were like, now that we have your attention, and we did this very thought-provoking piece on social media, let's all team up to go after Kony, a guy who was in all likelihood dead. | ||
They didn't tell you that part. | ||
But, uh, so what happened was, this thing goes viral. | ||
It was the fastest viral video in history at the time. | ||
The dude who made it, like a week later, was found in the middle of a street, naked, jerking it, and like, like pounding on the ground while doing it. | ||
What? | ||
Something goes hand in hand with being crazy and being naked. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Maybe there's a scientist who can break down for us. | ||
Is there any indication that he was biting anyone? | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
Just curious. | ||
He was just pulling off while slamming the ground. | ||
That's what he was doing. | ||
With the same motion? | ||
Two hands. | ||
One hand was slamming, one hand was pulling. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't actually want to know. | |
I mentioned that story in India. | ||
We have this other one. | ||
Quarantine man runs naked from his house. | ||
Bites woman to death. | ||
Like, whoa. | ||
Yeah, he bit an 80-year-old woman. | ||
Is that what it is? | ||
Yeah, he bit her jugular or something. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
And it's weird because he just like saw her standing there. | ||
Oh, this was in India, too. | ||
Yeah, I don't get this at all, man. | ||
I mean, the only two naked people were in India. | ||
The guy in the UK wasn't naked. | ||
Maybe there's something about being naked and being in India. | ||
Hmm. | ||
Well, there was a lady who walked into an airport completely naked and tried to buy a ticket somewhere. | ||
In India? | ||
No, it was here in the U.S., I think. | ||
Yeah, she got in big trouble, obviously. | ||
Where did she hold her credit card? | ||
I don't want to know. | ||
In the crack? | ||
I don't want to know. | ||
I don't even know if she had one. | ||
I'm scared to ask. | ||
How are you going to purchase a card? | ||
How are you planning to do this? | ||
I do not know. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
The man allegedly bit the woman in the neck. | ||
The woman was taken to the hospital but died three days later. | ||
So then we have the nurse. | ||
I'm not going to read through all these stories because, you know, we are being a bit silly, but this is serious. | ||
No, it definitely is. | ||
But at the same time, it's like, what are our sharpest objects? | ||
If you don't have nails, like your teeth. | ||
So it's kind of... | ||
Not really that surprising that it's like people's last resort to bite someone. | ||
Because if they're trying to wrestle you down, and they got your arms and your head is free, what are you gonna do? | ||
You're gonna bite the closest thing, and it's probably that woman's arm. | ||
I read this, and it's probably not true, but I was reading this. | ||
It was probably on Reddit, so you know, of course it's true, right? | ||
If it's on Reddit. | ||
It was something about humans were evolving venomous bites. | ||
Because we have, like, the dirtiest mouths of any creature on the planet. | ||
And a human bite is, like, guaranteed to become infected. | ||
So, at the very least, humans have infectious bites. | ||
So, it says there are 250,000 human bites in the US, like, total. | ||
You actually found statistics on bite crime. | ||
Amazing. | ||
Okay, so it didn't come up under bite crime, but I was able to find something. | ||
Oh, that's a little sad. | ||
I know, I know, it was sad. | ||
The one thing that came up when I was Googling bite crime was McGruff the Crime Dog, so I figured that wasn't what we were looking for. | ||
Take a bite out of crime. | ||
So 25% of bites get infected because human mouths are disgusting. | ||
Every time I hear bite crime, I just imagine some dentist. | ||
Kind of like a Batman who... Batman fights crime as the dentist bites crime. | ||
Well, Scruff McGruff takes a bite out of crime. | ||
It's a little rough. | ||
We're working on it. | ||
It's brand new. | ||
Okay, okay, okay. | ||
So, look. | ||
You know what, man? | ||
If in three months, you know, we've got, like, our sleeves ripped off and, like, shotguns and, like, leather boots and we're running through the city and zombies are chasing after us, we'll look back on this and be like, we were so dumb! | ||
We saw it coming! | ||
But in all seriousness, it's just people biting people. | ||
But the actual seriousness of this is that UK cops are warning people are actually using coronavirus as a weapon. | ||
So whether or not they're mindless zombies, they're bad people. | ||
How are they explaining that? | ||
Are they coughing on people or what? | ||
So, uh, let's see this. | ||
Spitting, coughing, and attacking. | ||
Yeah, the Essex Police Assistant Chief Constable Paul Wells issued a warning Wednesday after two Saturday incidents in Lee-on-Sea in Anghar where cops were coughed on or bitten as they made arrests. | ||
More bites! | ||
It is more bites. | ||
How often do cops get bit? | ||
Can you look that up? | ||
Or is that the same same report? | ||
No, this is from, look, this is from April 2nd, and the one who got bit was from April 11th. | ||
Oh, which means it is a different story. | ||
People keep getting bit. | ||
People are biting maybe more than usual. | ||
What's going on? | ||
I don't know the facts here, but But you were right, like a cop's arresting somebody, right? | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
So they grab him and the guy bites their arm. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
That probably makes sense. | ||
Yeah, I mean, I don't feel like that's that surprising. | ||
No, it kinda is. | ||
You've got someone who's enraged. | ||
Wait, wait. | ||
Seeing red. | ||
I'd imagine that if this was that common, cops would wear things on their arms to avoid getting bitten. | ||
Like, if it was that common, they'd all do this. | ||
Like, oh, I don't want to get bit. | ||
I'm going to arrest somebody. | ||
Better put, you know, better wear long sleeves. | ||
But they don't. | ||
Which says to me, they don't even need a sweater. | ||
Long sleeves, yeah. | ||
That's not really going to stop teeth. | ||
No, but it's not going to pierce the skin. | ||
You'd be surprised. | ||
I mean, look, it'll hurt, you'll get bruised. | ||
But I'm wondering, because look at this picture of this cop, he's wearing short sleeves. | ||
He is, yeah. | ||
Which says to me they don't expect to get bitten. | ||
So this, this is something crazy. | ||
If people are using coronavirus as a weapon and they are biting, At the very least, we can say the bites are up and the police are warning about it. | ||
unidentified
|
Right? | |
Well, the fact that they're warning about it is saying something. | ||
So we're getting a little bit of an official thing from cops going, hey, they're starting to bite us. | ||
They're starting to bite. | ||
Something's changed here. | ||
Whoa, dude. | ||
Yeah, I mean, maybe totally not COVID related, but pandemic related, you know what I mean? | ||
Like if there was any pandemic where people were sick, because I've seen videos where the people are like, | ||
they'll say they have it and they'll start spitting at you. | ||
So they know that you're worried about infection. | ||
There was actually, I think it was on Reddit, it's unethical life pro tips. | ||
You ever see that subreddit? | ||
It's basically, there's like life pro tips, where it's like, clean your dishes as you cook | ||
and you won't have to do the dishes anymore or something like that. | ||
That's a really good tip, by the way. | ||
Yep, clean as you go. | ||
If you don't do that, do it. | ||
Trust me, it makes cooking so much better anyway. | ||
Unethical life pro tips was like, if you get pulled over, just start coughing | ||
and say it's because you have COVID and they'll leave you alone. | ||
They actually won't. | ||
You'll probably get detained even longer. | ||
But that's the joke. | ||
Well, now they're getting people for just going out of their house. | ||
So if you go out of your house and you claim you have COVID, you're a terrorist now. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Dude. | ||
I mean, they're basically going there, right? | ||
I mean, they've already said that it's terrorist threats or terrorist attacks when the woman coughed on the fruits and veggies. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
So if you start coughing like that, that's a terrorist threat towards a cop. | ||
Well, that's kind of like a biological weapon, right? | ||
If you know that you have it. | ||
Yes, that's like the point. | ||
They said it was like a biological agent. | ||
But things are getting crazy, man. | ||
So where we live, there's already been, I think, three arrests we've talked about. | ||
There was a... I mentioned this the other day, there was a couple people walking, the cops said, hey, you can't be out. | ||
And then they yelled something like, you know, F you. | ||
So the cop arrested them. | ||
But we went to the store the other day, and there was a sign up that said, public ordinance, you have to wear a mask in public. | ||
You can't go out. | ||
And like all of these retail shops that were supposedly like we I got an email from all these shops saying like we're | ||
doing curbside delivery You know come on down just tell us what you need. We'll go | ||
get it for you now They're all closed even the hardware store was closed | ||
So it seems like things have definitely gotten Crazier or quieter whichever one you want to you know look | ||
at yeah what I was thinking is I think I I think the reason they're locking everything | ||
down is because they're scared of unrest Like in New York, 20 percent of NYPD is out. | ||
And then we have this story, which I've mentioned several times. | ||
Check this out. | ||
Commercial burglaries soar since coronavirus emergency measures. | ||
New York Post says that commercial burglary in New York is up 75 percent. | ||
Wow. | ||
So let's let's think about this. | ||
We got 75 percent. | ||
That's a huge almost double. | ||
Yeah, that's crazy. | ||
And that's that's not it's not surprising. | ||
But let's be real. | ||
Jeez. | ||
Commercial burglary during a lockdown is looting. | ||
Yeah, absolutely. | ||
Total looting. | ||
For sure. | ||
Definitely. | ||
So I wonder if that's why the police have been extremely harsh. | ||
Arresting people straight up like they see you out, they're coming for you. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Because unrest is a coming, man. | ||
Yeah, and you know, there's stories from New York and California that, you know, they've reached the peak, starting to slow down. | ||
The hospitals are starting to report that, you know, it seems that things are getting a little bit better on the the COVID-19 front. | ||
Right. | ||
You know, so and that's really not the issue. | ||
The issue now is We're so like the wheel has stopped spinning for so long that there's going to be a point somewhere that they run out of food. | ||
It's already happened in different places around the world. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
You know, so in New York, food runs out. | ||
We can talk about food in a second. | ||
I don't think this is about food. | ||
I think this is about just social order right now. | ||
Well, it wasn't even really about food. | ||
It's not the pandemic anymore, is what we fear. | ||
Right, exactly. | ||
That's what I was trying to say. | ||
It's this kind of stuff. | ||
It's what happens after, because the wheel has stopped moving. | ||
Right. | ||
And it's funny when I see all these memes where they're like, oh no, the economy! | ||
You see the one Elon Musk tweeted? | ||
unidentified
|
Which one? | |
It's like the Earth, and there's a comet ripped straight through the Earth, and the Earth is blowing up. | ||
And there's an astronaut on the moon, and he goes, oh no, the economy! | ||
And then someone posted under it, the dinosaurs looking up at the asteroids slamming on Earth, and they go, oh no, the economy. | ||
It's a funny meme. | ||
It's funny, yeah. | ||
But it's also like, people really don't get it. | ||
When Trump comes out and says the economy, there's that other meme, remember that one where it's like the trolley is on a single track? | ||
Yeah. | ||
And it's headed for, it's like you can stop the trolley at any time, but it would result in a loss of profits for the trolley company? | ||
Right. | ||
It was really funny. | ||
But what people don't get, man, is that you got all these people who have no access to the economy anymore. | ||
Yeah. | ||
They're not just gonna sit around. | ||
Right. | ||
They're gonna go out, and they're gonna... I'm willing to bet we will see... I mean, you know what, man? | ||
It's a stupid statement. | ||
We're already seeing looting. | ||
And we're already seeing it. | ||
Police said 254 businesses have been targeted between March 12th, the day the state of emergency order was issued, and March 31st. | ||
This is up from 145 burglaries recorded for the same time period last year. | ||
What we are seeing is that criminals are specifically targeting cash businesses. | ||
Supermarkets and bodegas, dude. | ||
Yep, looting. | ||
What do you steal from a bodega? | ||
food, cigarettes, things that they really want. | ||
This is not even the segment we were gonna do on the food shortage. | ||
Yeah, I know. | ||
And that's what they're talking about. | ||
But that makes sense. | ||
It makes sense. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That New York is like the, where we're gonna see it all happen first. | ||
Yup, and here's what people don't realize. | ||
We got some good news. | ||
You mentioned it. | ||
Hospitalizations in New York are way down. | ||
Intubations are in the negative, meaning they're taking people off ventilators more than they're putting them on. | ||
That's just New York. | ||
There's still some places that haven't locked down at all. | ||
Some cities. | ||
There are people out, you know, worshipping on Easter. | ||
Now, I fully respect First Amendment. | ||
You know, you have a right to do so. | ||
Don't be surprised if in a couple weeks you're gonna see a whole bunch of people get sick. | ||
And then you're gonna see a bunch of snooty people on Twitter laughing, going like, yeah, told you so. | ||
Yeah, well, you know what. | ||
I think it's gonna happen. | ||
It's no coincidence that it's about two weeks, a little bit more than two weeks since the hard lockdown in New York, now we're seeing hospitalizations go down. | ||
Because the incubation period was around two weeks. | ||
Yep. | ||
So, in that time period, things got really bad. | ||
NYPD, 20% were calling off. | ||
All these stores were boarding up their doors and windows. | ||
What do you think happens to the rest of the country now as this thing starts sweeping through? | ||
It's gonna happen a lot more in a lot more places. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Exactly. | ||
The looting's gonna get worse for sure. | ||
Even in New York it's gonna get worse. | ||
What do you do? | ||
Explain that question. | ||
So we live fairly close to a bunch of supermarkets. | ||
What would you do if a bunch of people were showing up throwing bricks and running around grabbing stuff? | ||
I would sit behind you and push you out the door. | ||
No, I mean like we're not gonna walk into the riot, you know what I mean? | ||
No, of course not. | ||
But like, at what point do you say, like, I don't mean like you personally, but like for the people watching or listening especially, at what point do you say like we gotta go? | ||
Yeah. | ||
I'll tell you what, man, I got a ton of emails already. | ||
Weeks ago, month ago, before they even locked down, they were like, dude, you got that van, you gotta get in, you gotta get out. | ||
And I'm like, well, you know, hold on, right? | ||
Nothing's happening yet. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Now we're seeing looting. | ||
This is what I was thinking, right? | ||
Yeah. | ||
So, I had, you know, family and friends hit me up saying, like, I'm hearing it's getting really, really bad in New Jersey. | ||
You know, I hope you're taking care and being safe. | ||
And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're fine. | ||
We're fine, right? | ||
Yeah. | ||
You know, we went to the store. | ||
Then we go to the Home Depot the other day, and they stopped us 30 feet in front of the building, and they were like, no, no, no, no, stop, stop, stop. | ||
You need masks. | ||
And I was like, we have to have them? | ||
Like, you can't come in without a mask. | ||
So now we're seeing like all these other businesses are shuttered. | ||
They're taking things very serious. | ||
Everybody was wearing a mask. | ||
People took them off when they got outside. | ||
So I kind of feel like... | ||
I don't know where the line is. | ||
There's looting happening in New York. | ||
Maybe we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, at least for New York. | ||
Maybe things will get better. | ||
But if we're already looking at a dramatic increase in commercial burglaries, they call it, which I would just call looting, are we at the point where it's like, this is the warning? | ||
We already heard the president saying, I'm going to quarantine these states, maybe. | ||
And then we were like, oh man, what do we do? | ||
And then he came out and said, no, I'm not going to do it. | ||
And we went, oh, OK, we were fine, right? | ||
Was that like the shot across the bow? | ||
Where it's like, heads up, this is gonna happen. | ||
Yeah, maybe. | ||
And then we ignored it. | ||
Well, I mean, if 254 businesses were targeted when they did a soft quarantine, if they did a hard quarantine, guaranteed those numbers will go up. | ||
Yeah, I think so. | ||
Wouldn't they go down if the police are forcing people into their homes? | ||
I mean, there's not that many police officers in New York. | ||
And 20% are out. | ||
And a bunch of them have COVID already. | ||
Officially, I think the number is around 36,000. | ||
But there's three shifts. | ||
So at any one time, you've got just over 10k. | ||
I think there's three shifts. | ||
I don't know anything about the police department. | ||
But for the people who are interested in commercial burglaries, when you tell the world we're shutting down everything, you're telling them no one's going to be at that business. | ||
Yep. | ||
That business is going to be closed. | ||
Maybe that's why they're saying our plans are going to go through, you know? | ||
Exactly. | ||
But maybe that's why they're calling it a burglary right now. | ||
Right. | ||
Because it's locked and they're not breaking in the traditional sense. | ||
And looting it? | ||
I mean, looting and burglary is... I mean, they're two sides of the same coin. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
Yeah, I would say in a lockdown it's a loot. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But my... I get it, you know? | ||
But my bigger question is, like, I really don't think we're gonna get up right now after this show and load up the van and dip out to, like, middle of America to, like, get away from the chaos, you know what I mean? | ||
Well, I mean, if it's going to be a wave away from New York, away from where it hit the hardest first, if New York's already coming down, that means the rest of the country, it's going to be a wave. | ||
They're going to have spikes. | ||
People don't know that they have it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's almost to the point where New York might not be that bad of a place to be anymore because it is locked down. | ||
No, I'm not saying I want to be there. | ||
I would not want to be there. | ||
But if the supply chain doesn't get broken, that's really the key. | ||
If stores still get their stuff, people can still go shopping and get their usual food items, and people survive through the worst of this, then we're going to come out of it fine. | ||
But if the supply chains get broken... It is broken. | ||
In certain places? | ||
In New York? | ||
No, everywhere. | ||
Everywhere it is. | ||
It's getting bad. | ||
Is it? | ||
It's getting real bad. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
Oh, yeah, dude. | ||
Feels like you know something I don't. | ||
So, we've been looking at, in a bunch of other countries, like in Italy, for instance, in Sicily. | ||
We've seen this coming. | ||
So, let me wrap up this thought first, and we'll jump over to the food one, because we have this ready to go. | ||
I feel like, you know, Trump comes out and says, we're going to quarantine these three states. | ||
And we had a conversation. | ||
Do we stick around? | ||
Because we're in the South. | ||
We're not in the North. | ||
We're not where it's hit. | ||
It would be silly to say that if you're in the state, you're in the place that's hit. | ||
That's not the case. | ||
Because you could be in Connecticut and be in one of the worst hit areas. | ||
You can be in New Hampshire and be totally fine. | ||
You can be in North Jersey and you are in it. | ||
And South Jersey, nothing's going on over here. | ||
So we were thinking, like, maybe it would be smart to leave. | ||
Also, maybe it's irresponsible. | ||
But Trump wasn't going to quarantine where we were at. | ||
He wanted to do North Jersey, like that whole area. | ||
And so that was the point where we were like, should we go now? | ||
Shot across the bow. | ||
They warned us. | ||
We said no. | ||
We're seeing lootings go up. | ||
We say no. | ||
You know, I really don't think there's anything that's going to convince us that now's the time to go until it's too late. | ||
I think so. | ||
I really don't think anything will happen where we're going to be like, time to get in the van and go head to the middle of the country or something. | ||
I agree. | ||
Until Litter-It's at the front door and we're like, oops. | ||
unidentified
|
Possibly. | |
But I don't know. | ||
Yeah, I agree. | ||
But that's the conundrum. | ||
So food shortages, I think, are coming. | ||
I agree. | ||
I absolutely think so. | ||
Definitely they are. | ||
It hit in Italy. | ||
And now that brings me to the next bit we can jump right over to. | ||
Check this out. | ||
Newfoundland faces possible food shortage as pandemic hammers key shipping company. | ||
OceanX looking for federal subsidy to keep supply ships running. | ||
This is Canada. | ||
This is it. | ||
Newfoundland is not too far. | ||
I mean, it's far north, up the northeast. | ||
Right. | ||
But now we're seeing North America. | ||
Certain parts are saying, you are facing a possible food shortage. | ||
But you know what? | ||
We don't care about Canada. | ||
Canada's not America, right? | ||
Oh, don't you wait. | ||
We got you. | ||
We got you covered. | ||
U.S. | ||
meat supply perilously close to a shortage, CEO warns. | ||
Eh. | ||
Right, exactly. | ||
Eh. | ||
Nah, I was just playing. | ||
The third food manufacturing plant Mm-hmm. | ||
Shut down. | ||
Third? | ||
unidentified
|
Third. | |
I didn't hear about the first two. | ||
I'm sorry, the third meet. | ||
Yep. | ||
I know, we didn't. | ||
Probably because one plant shutting down, no one cares about. | ||
Not a big deal, right? | ||
By the time the third happens, now they're saying there's a food shortage. | ||
Well, and when did the first two close down? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Was it because of this? | ||
Yes, coronavirus. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
So recently they shut down. | ||
Employees are getting infected, so they're shutting down. | ||
It's not just this, though. | ||
With the economy shuttered, people are flooding food banks, and the food banks are running out. | ||
Meanwhile, because of logistical collapse, because the economy shut down, farmers are dumping, you were right, you talked about that milk before, right? | ||
3.7 million gallons of milk dumped every day, apparently. | ||
And the farmers are upset, but they're like, we can't do anything with it. | ||
It doesn't go anywhere, no one's buying it, so they're just dumping it, and the cows gotta get milked. | ||
They're also shoveling all the food back into the dirt into the soil. Yeah, the vegetables | ||
What do you think happens then? | ||
So we just talked about You know commercial looting. Yeah opportunists are gonna | ||
steal an ipad, you know and a laptop My bigger concern right now is you know, we're sitting here | ||
the supply chains Yeah, that's this is scary | ||
because if if they're You know the the way that we have everything structured | ||
Can't support this it can't support just stopping and that's that's really where it gets scary because if | ||
people if the meat and And the veggie farmers basically say, no one's coming to take all this food, all the crops, for the wintertime. | ||
You know, it's like, humans in the past, when they didn't have food come wintertime, they're dead. | ||
And that's basically how it was. | ||
Well, I guess we're dead this year, you know? | ||
We either move on to greener pastures, or you're kind of screwed. | ||
And it feels like we kind of did this to ourselves. | ||
I'll tell you what though, if there's anything I've learned from this is that assuming everything works out okay, I definitely want to get as far away from cities as possible. | ||
Yeah, I agree. | ||
Yeah, so... The city's not gonna work for... If... I mean... So, we could go in either direction, you know? | ||
Like, this sounds bad, but is it all farms? | ||
Is it all meat factories, whatever, you know, it's like... Or is the wheel still turning a little bit, and like, everyone's gonna get some food, enough to survive, you know? | ||
You ever play the game Kerplunk? | ||
No. | ||
So, you ever play Kerplunk? | ||
No, I don't think so. | ||
It's that game where you got that plastic cylinder and you put all of the plastic sticks in the holes and then drop marbles on it. | ||
And the game is you pull sticks and then whoever pulls the one where all the marbles fall loses. | ||
You basically have like 50 plastic sticks that form a bed and they go through little holes in the side of a little cylinder. | ||
Each time you pull one out, you don't gotta pull out every single one. | ||
Or Jenga's a better example. | ||
People probably know what Jenga is. | ||
You don't gotta pull out every single block to make the whole thing fall over. | ||
You find that one block and you're like, I can pull it out. | ||
You pull it out and the whole thing falls. | ||
That's what the concern is. | ||
It's not about every factory, every farm, every store. | ||
It's about just the key principle ones and the supply chain. | ||
And this game has been going for a long time. | ||
Yeah, you know what I mean? So Jenga, the longer it goes, the more delicate and precarious it becomes. | ||
And now we're at that place where sure, now we got a pandemic stopping the economy. And that in turn | ||
might screw us over. There's going to be we're already seeing a rise of it. They didn't call | ||
it looting. Right, right. But they might as well. They should. They don't want people to freak out. | ||
They don't want to put it in people's ears. | ||
The word loot. | ||
They're probably like, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
Burglary. | ||
We'll use that. | ||
Did you hear that aircraft carrier, the Roosevelt, just evacuated like 80% of its personnel? | ||
Really? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Can you fact check me on that one? | ||
Yeah, for sure. | ||
I'm pretty sure it's true. | ||
Because they were infected. | ||
Somebody died. | ||
And then some people, like conservative personalities, were tweeting, China just sank a U.S. | ||
aircraft carrier. | ||
Oh, jeez. | ||
It's like, well, you know... It's a little, uh... Well, I will hold them responsible for lying about this. | ||
That's a very bold claim that could lead to war. | ||
unidentified
|
Hyperbolic. | |
Right, hyperbolic. | ||
You could say. | ||
But the reason I bring that up is I'm getting more pessimistic by the minute, man. | ||
I've seen a bunch of stories where they're like, we may now start reopening things. | ||
And you've got, like, the Northeast Region Coalition of, like, Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, saying, we're going to put together a plan to reopen the economy. | ||
California's saying the same thing. | ||
And it all sounds like good news. | ||
Then they just released a report saying about 100 people in South Korea had coronavirus reactivate. | ||
Reactivate. | ||
Reactivate. | ||
Yep. | ||
Interesting. | ||
So they didn't get reinfected. | ||
It reactivated. | ||
They all had it before. | ||
So this is interesting. | ||
I'm not a virologist, man. | ||
I don't know how this stuff works, but I know that the herpes virus, for instance, it's there forever. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And it just comes back. | ||
Maybe I'm just too much of a layman who doesn't understand how any of this stuff works. | ||
But is it possible that coronavirus could be in a similar way to where, like, you get it, it goes dormant, you feel better, and then it comes back and you're, like, choking again? | ||
Well, if it does permanent damage to your lungs, I wonder if it could kind of live in your lungs and just hang out. | ||
That's what herpes does, right? | ||
Yeah, it hangs out, like, in the surface of your skin. | ||
It's, like, in the cell, like, and then, like, stress causes it to, like, bubble up and come back out or something? | ||
Yeah, I don't know much about it. | ||
It's creepy stuff. | ||
I mean, I don't, I don't know, man, if I'm going to avoid getting too conspiratorial. | ||
But this sounds crazy that first of all, we know for a fact China's lying. | ||
Oh, for sure. | ||
Like, dude, they're claiming they had what? | ||
2000 people die. | ||
One city got infected, but everybody was traveling around the whole time. | ||
Yeah. | ||
No way. | ||
And I guess like they just finally said, oh, we have 100 new cases. | ||
That's all. | ||
Yeah. | ||
In a month, a hundred new cases. | ||
That's it. | ||
Come on. | ||
I don't like where things are heading, man. | ||
I'll tell you what I think is going to happen. | ||
These food plants are shutting down, right? | ||
People are going hungry because they don't have any money because they're unemployed. | ||
Yeah. | ||
They're going to food banks. | ||
Food banks will run out of food. | ||
Yes, they will. | ||
Now there have already been calls to bring the farmers food that's wasted and send to food banks for distribution. | ||
Like, why wasn't that a thing in the first place? | ||
That's not a good thing. | ||
I know it's not a good thing, but it's better than that food being tossed, which is what they're doing. | ||
Technically, yes. | ||
But what we're talking about is authoritarian command economies, which we do not want to see established. | ||
So what, the farmers wouldn't get paid for their food, you're saying? | ||
The government would likely do—you know, I don't exactly know how it would work, right? | ||
But they probably would pay for it. | ||
But then what? | ||
How do the farmers get the supplies to make more food? | ||
Government mandate. | ||
And all we do is create a centralized economy where we're building breadlines. | ||
And sure enough, Monsanto changed it so you have to buy seeds from them if you want to keep planting stuff. | ||
You can't harvest your own seeds anymore. | ||
Well, even beyond that, we're seeing in like Michigan, you can't even buy seeds. | ||
Yep. | ||
Dude, this is the fastest descent into nightmare dystopia. | ||
Would anyone think it was going to be this fast? | ||
I did not. | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
I thought it was going to be like sold over a few years. | ||
Yeah, it's funny. | ||
You kept saying it's like boring, right? | ||
Like last week you were like, man, it's boring. | ||
It's not as exciting as I expected it to be. | ||
But then here we are. | ||
It's going fast, like sliding down this hill. | ||
I think I was saying it was boring because I've been inside the whole time. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I think when we went out to the store, I saw how crazy things really were. | ||
First of all, the streets are, like, empty. | ||
There are cars out there, for sure. | ||
But then, you know, pulling up and seeing one of the stores we went to just had, like, shelves blocking the doors. | ||
They said they were open! | ||
It said it was supposed to be open. | ||
And we pulled up and there was just things blocking. | ||
Other cars were coming in and leaving, like... I don't know, did nobody show up or what happened? | ||
We have no idea. | ||
So we go to the next store and they're yelling at us at the door, like, you can't come without a mask on. | ||
Dude, hearing that people are having, so we've heard about reinfections, you know, a while back, like a Japanese woman or someone in like California or something maybe. | ||
Yeah, phase two. | ||
Potential multiphasic. | ||
But now they're saying it's reactivating. | ||
What if you can never be cured of this? | ||
What if, so what I've read is that like half of people are asymptomatic period. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But then some people get it. | ||
And then what if it reactivates? | ||
Maybe we just don't know anything. | ||
Maybe none of this, maybe it's not reactivating. | ||
Maybe they're just wrong. | ||
I have no idea. | ||
I don't think they have any idea. | ||
I think humans need to rethink their lives, and the health has a lot to do with it. | ||
I'm not trying to condemn anyone, because I don't want anyone to get hurt, but it feels like this is attacking the weak and unhealthy. | ||
Totally. | ||
And it's like, if you're weak and unhealthy, and you didn't choose to try to be healthy, it's hard to feel bad for you, because you're not healthy, and you're not trying to be. | ||
Going forward, I'm saying. | ||
But there are some healthy people. | ||
Because if what you said is true, and we can't beat this, and it's going to be around forever, we're going to see a lot more healthy people. | ||
People will have to be healthy, or else it'll kill them. | ||
If this is the case, everybody will have it eventually. | ||
Right. | ||
There's no stopping it now. | ||
There have been healthy people who have just died. | ||
A lot of healthy people. | ||
But the overwhelming majority are older, sickly, comorbidities. | ||
But you can be healthy and still smoke cigarettes a pack a day. | ||
You can still seem healthy. | ||
That's an underlying health issue, isn't it? | ||
That is considered a pre-existing condition. | ||
If anyone tells them. | ||
I'm pretty sure they can tell if you're a smoker, right? | ||
Like if you go into the doctor, they know if you smoke. | ||
I imagine from looking at your lung capacity. | ||
They'd probably just be like, you smoke. | ||
I mean, you can smell people smoke, man. | ||
Vaping maybe is different. | ||
Yeah, there's a blood test they do to check for condoms. | ||
But no, no, no. | ||
We read the stories, like young athletes who have gotten sick and died from this. | ||
21-year-old girl with no history died from this. | ||
Yeah, in the UK. | ||
Obviously, though, the overwhelming majority. | ||
So this is going to sound cold and callous. | ||
It's not coming from me, but I've talked to people who said it's a culling of the week. | ||
They were like, you know, look, I think people are trying to be logical and serious about this. | ||
The conversations I've had with some people are not to revel in death or anything like that, but to point out, like you just said. | ||
The people who are dying from this are the people who are overweight, the people who have diabetes, the elderly. | ||
There are young people who are dying from it. | ||
But in the end, if if you are unhealthy or old or vulnerable, you're the one who bites the dust on this. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's not a matter of what we want to be. | ||
It's a matter of what is happening. | ||
Right. | ||
It's a fact that's happening right now. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You can't change that. | ||
But if you're unhealthy and you can make a choice to be healthier, now's the time to be healthy, you know, to work on it. | ||
You know what the craziest thing about this is, though? | ||
I'm sitting here thinking, like, what's going to be the result of this? | ||
And I'm like, you know, conservatives are getting a bunch of gains. | ||
So deportations are way up. | ||
Manufacturing is coming back from China. | ||
And the left is getting a bunch of gains. | ||
I mean, look, meat shortage. | ||
I'm not saying this about you specifically, but the activists who are very much animal rights activists, they'll probably be like, this is awesome, the plants are shutting down. | ||
And I'll be the one here that, I'm just worried. | ||
This is a very worrying thing, because the human world right now runs on this kind of stuff. | ||
So you can't shut down, when you take a wheel out of the big huge cog that is our society, the machine will fall apart. | ||
So, you know, those people are so one-track minds. | ||
They don't care about all this other stuff. | ||
They're like, animal abuse, animal abuse. | ||
And then, you know, they see it as a victory, but they don't see all of the other things that happen because of this falling apart. | ||
So, I like to take a step back, you know, and, like, observe from a different point of view, and that's, you know, that's helped me see this. | ||
This is scary, yo. | ||
People, mad people eat meat? | ||
Many, many people eat meat right now, and they use that, and they're used to it. | ||
So, the fallout of them not getting meat is gonna be even worse, because they're not gonna be able to get the nutrients they need, because they have no idea what they're doing. | ||
You know what the worst part is? | ||
What? | ||
They're gonna take away beans and rice from you. | ||
I'm half kidding. | ||
You know what's really funny, though? | ||
I thought of a... Did we talk about this on the show? | ||
About the skit? | ||
About disaster food and you walk into Walmart and everyone's fighting over food? | ||
Yes! | ||
And you walk right... So here's the joke. | ||
Yeah, someone sent me this picture. | ||
It's hilarious. | ||
Here, I'll just tell it. | ||
It's basically like, we're in a bad place, but we're not that bad. | ||
We're not eating soy bad. | ||
And it shows a picture of a refrigerator aisle, and it's the vegan section, and it's just packed. | ||
During a hurricane. | ||
And everything on the other side of it is gone, like the meat, it's just like empty shelves. | ||
But all the vegan stuff. | ||
But this really happened. | ||
It was great. | ||
So it's a real photo from, like, there was a hurricane, and then someone noticed the entire vegan section untouched. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
That's crazy. | |
Like, how often do they restock it? | ||
So anyway, the joke we were coming up with was, like, it'd be funny to do a video where, you know, like, Adam walks into a Walmart, and there's people fighting each other, just beating the crap out of each other. | ||
They're fighting over, like, a piece of jerky. | ||
And it's like, oh, excuse me, excuse me. | ||
And he walks right up all calm with his bag, looks at the vegan section, you know, calls a friend, like, what did you say you wanted? | ||
Did you want the chow, the spicy one, or the regular? | ||
I'll get both. | ||
I'll get both. | ||
They're both good. | ||
And then he's just like, da-da-da-da-da. | ||
Just puts in the bag. | ||
Everyone's fighting, and there's gunshots going off. | ||
Then someone runs up. | ||
And they reach into the bag, and they try and grab stuff, and they stop and freeze, and it hits vegan, and they go, oh, I'm terribly sorry, sir. | ||
And you're like, oh, it's no big deal, and then you just walk out and go buy your food. | ||
Perfect. | ||
Yes, that's how calm I would be. | ||
I'll tell you what, though. | ||
It's funny to joke about, but the vegan food will go. | ||
It'll just go, you know, last. | ||
Food is food. | ||
I think the thing about the hurricane was that people didn't think the world was ending. | ||
They just thought, I need to buy groceries right now. | ||
So they bought what they wanted, which did not include, you know, the vegan options, and then they went home. | ||
Right. | ||
But if it gets to the point where there's no food left, you know, people will eat anything. | ||
If they only knew how good that chow cheese is, though. | ||
You can't tell, man. | ||
The crazy thing is, like, American... Spread the love. | ||
That chow cheese is good. | ||
American cheese is barely cheese. | ||
Huh? | ||
American cheese is barely cheese. | ||
I never really liked American cheese. | ||
You know, the funny thing is, too, we went to the store and there was a country crock. | ||
Which I've had since I was a kid. | ||
Right. | ||
And it's like, I was looking at it and I was like, I'm pretty sure this is vegan. | ||
You're like, no, no, that stuff, no. | ||
And you're like, oh, it is vegan. | ||
No, I didn't say it like that. | ||
It was something like that. | ||
You were like, no, I don't think it's vegan. | ||
You looked in the back and you're like, it is vegan. | ||
No, I'm pretty sure. | ||
I was like, yeah, probably. | ||
There's no dairy in there. | ||
Oh, because it's margarine. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Most margarine is. | ||
Not that it tastes great, but I thought it was funny. | ||
Like, there's a ton of, like, Oreos are vegan. | ||
Yep. | ||
Oreos are vegan. | ||
There's a ton of stuff people eat every day they don't realize. | ||
Mm-hmm. | ||
Skittles. | ||
Skittles also. | ||
unidentified
|
Skittles. | |
Yeah. | ||
Mm-hmm. | ||
Random. | ||
I don't know, you were talking candy, so I just went with candy. | ||
unidentified
|
Mamba? | |
Is that what they're called? | ||
The little starburst thingies? | ||
Yeah, they're less known. | ||
Oh yeah, those are good. | ||
I'm just saying, people will figure out what they, you know, they'll eat literally anything they can eat. | ||
Yep. | ||
When it gets bad. | ||
I agree. | ||
Everyone's gonna become vegans, because, you know, because you mentioned this before, dairy and meat don't last. | ||
Exactly. | ||
Beans and rice last for years, dried out, stored in a bag. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
Unless the rats get them. | ||
Well, we'll see how far we get. | ||
We'll see how far we get. | ||
It's a whole other thing. | ||
To actually wrap up that final, that thought from before about like, when is too late to leave? | ||
I got a red line. | ||
I definitely have a red line for when it's like, I am getting in the van and I am gone. | ||
We'll see what happens, but I'm pretty sure if we saw, like, I don't know if this is where the line is, but if local supermarkets were getting raided and there were no cops anywhere, I might just be like, time to go. | ||
I would say so, yeah. | ||
My vote would be for that. | ||
Maybe there's a line before that, like, let me ask you this. | ||
If you heard that about 50 miles north people were looting and rioting | ||
in you know these these these towns as the as things started getting bad would you be like we | ||
should leave before it gets here or would you be like let's bunker down and if it reached | ||
that close to us yeah i would say we should start prepping to leave because i mean new york's | ||
what a couple hours away Yeah. | ||
They're not looting. | ||
I mean, they're robbing these stores, but not for food, it would seem. | ||
50 miles is a lot closer than New York, though. | ||
Right. | ||
And if it's... Well, New York is like 90. | ||
Well, and 50 miles north, it actually gets more rural in between here and New York. | ||
You know, it's pretty foresty in some areas. | ||
So it's not like suburbs all the way up to New York. | ||
We're in the Philly metro. | ||
Right. | ||
We're like right next to Philadelphia. | ||
But 50 miles north, if it was coming down that close to us, yeah, I'd probably want to leave. | ||
Time to go? | ||
Because it would only get worse the closer it gets to us. | ||
But would that be too late? | ||
If they close the bridges, yeah. | ||
Yeah, we're stuck. | ||
Because we'd have to go north. | ||
I'd imagine if they were looting and rioting 50 miles north, they'd shut the bridges down. | ||
Probably. | ||
That's the conundrum. | ||
The best opportunity to get out is well before anything happens. | ||
Look, I've been in these places. | ||
When I was in Egypt, and I've mentioned this before, we got word that the APCs were coming, so we were like, to the airport. | ||
Right when we got there, they shut all the roads down. | ||
We would have been stuck for who knows how long. | ||
So by the time, right when we got to the gate, I'm sitting down, and there was like a business guy, and we started talking, and he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all, they did it. | ||
The military came in, blocked everything off. | ||
I mean, yeah. | ||
And if all hell breaks loose 50 miles from here and they cut the bridges down, you're trapped. | ||
You're trapped in the... What was it called? | ||
The Thunderdome? | ||
The Thunderdome? | ||
Yeah. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Sounds about right, though. | ||
Is that that hotel you were talking about? | ||
Thunderdome? | ||
No. | ||
Welcome to the Thunderdome. | ||
What is that? | ||
It's like people fight in the arena, right? | ||
Escape from New York or Mad Max? | ||
I don't remember. | ||
Escape from New York. | ||
Or maybe L.A. | ||
Let's jump over to the Super Chats and get to the user comments. | ||
Is that what we call them? | ||
What's up, everybody? | ||
How's it going, man? | ||
Hope you enjoyed that opening bit. | ||
Deviant Raccoon says, Mom's not taking COVID seriously and goes out a lot. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
Well, you know what? | ||
I hope she's healthy. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's okay. | ||
Yeah, something like 22 people died. | ||
I don't know. | ||
got hammered by tornadoes. 39 in Georgia. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Yeah, something like 22 people died. | ||
Is the world ending? | ||
I don't know. | ||
39? | ||
Krakatoa erupted, locust swarms in Egypt and heading to China. | ||
Earthquakes. Earthquake right by Yosemite. | ||
Ugh. | ||
I mean... | ||
What if this is like the crescendo? | ||
You know, it's like the heavy drumroll speed up. | ||
Everything's going... And then in like a year we're gonna be like full-on black makeup under the eyes. | ||
Mad Max in it. | ||
Yeah, like, you know, ATVs. | ||
Dude, did you hear about the ATVs in New York? | ||
No. | ||
You're too late, Mad Max is here, bro. | ||
unidentified
|
Really? | |
Yeah. | ||
A hundred, like around a hundred ATVs and motorcycles were speeding and racing through Manhattan. | ||
Yeah, I saw that. | ||
I lived in New York for a long time. | ||
That's not new. | ||
In the Bronx. | ||
Yeah, but there's no one in Manhattan, so they're like, we're gonna go through the city. | ||
Yeah, they do that all the time. | ||
Not in Manhattan. | ||
Because it's empty, of course they're gonna go. | ||
Which is exactly my point. | ||
As the police break down. | ||
That's not Mad Maxing it. | ||
Those guys are just taking advantage of the awesome, smooth, beautiful roads in Manhattan. | ||
The point is, these people do this stuff in the Bronx and Harlem. | ||
It's now spread to Manhattan because policing is gone. | ||
They do it in Brooklyn too. | ||
And Queens. | ||
A hundred plus? | ||
Yo, you have no idea the crowds of these guys. | ||
They have like meetup groups and stuff. | ||
Yeah, but a hundred plus. | ||
I've been seeing it for so long. | ||
I lived in Brooklyn for six years. | ||
It was normal for me to see a posse of like 30 of those guys. | ||
Regularly. | ||
Every weekend they'd be out. | ||
Speeding and like going on the sidewalk and stuff? | ||
Definitely. | ||
I never saw that. | ||
Not on the sidewalk, but definitely like through the lights. | ||
Like they were almost crashing into people and there was like a hundred plus on motorcycles too. | ||
I saw the video. | ||
I saw the videos that are posted. | ||
It's not new. | ||
People bite. | ||
They've been biting for a long time. | ||
Sure, driving around in Manhattan is new. | ||
Exactly. | ||
That's the point I'm saying. | ||
It's expanding as law enforcement decreases. | ||
I don't blame them. | ||
I would. | ||
I would drive around in New York. | ||
It's not a point about it. | ||
The point is, something that was constrained is no longer constrained. | ||
Looting is up. | ||
People are recklessly driving through Manhattan in a way they hadn't done before. | ||
Okay. | ||
So I'm just saying, it's, yeah. | ||
Does it end here? | ||
You know, with like COVID getting, is it going to get better? | ||
Is this as far as it goes or does it just keep collapsing? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't have the answers. | ||
Nope. | ||
As we'll see. | ||
Peter Potamus says, yo Tim and crew, did you get that thing I sent you? | ||
I don't know, what was the thing? | ||
I don't know, what'd you send us? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Darn it, man. | ||
Connor Stephens, thanks for the F. Magna says, shout out to SimpleFlips. | ||
There you go. | ||
Dark Rangy says, hey guys, I work in a glass recycling plant and I'm surrounded by dust all day. | ||
Do you think the virus can exist in dust? | ||
Maybe. | ||
Yes, I do. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, why wouldn't it? | ||
Unless, yeah, someone coughs, right? | ||
I mean, it does die eventually. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Graphon Tyrol says, F's in the chat for Rick May, voice of TF2's Soldier and Peppy Hare from Star Fox 64. | ||
Oh wow. | ||
Thunderclease, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Benito says, hey Tim, you mentioned the other week that you use a service that invests money for you. | ||
Could I get the name? | ||
I've wanted to start investing for a while and I'm assuming the economy is going to need investors to rebuild. | ||
It's something I saw on TV and I don't really have much of anything in it, so I don't want to act like I actually use the service. | ||
It's called Betterment. | ||
I saw a commercial for it, I think on Pandora or something once. | ||
Okay. | ||
And I put some money in it and like lost a bunch of money. | ||
Yeah, I would not, personally, I'm not going to give any advice for finance. | ||
I have no idea how this stuff works. | ||
I use the Robinhood app, but I have like nothing invested. | ||
I have no idea. | ||
But this did come up on the Joe Rogan podcast last year. | ||
The only thing I have is stock in Square, because I met this billionaire in New York, and he was like, I'm pretty confident in Square. | ||
And I was like, really? | ||
Billionaire says Square. | ||
He was right. | ||
It went skyrocketed. | ||
Of course, I wish I actually took his advice. | ||
I put a little bit of money in it. | ||
And so now I'm like, wow, if I actually invested in it, like Jack Dorsey, he put up a billion dollars worth of his. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
He's got 20 million. | ||
The Price is Right says, Sup Tim, one subject I hope you cover soon. | ||
It's starting to bleed on bigger channels and could affect you soon. | ||
It's Suzy Liu's abusive copyright laws, while mass flagging evidence, vids, and may change commentary channels badly. | ||
I've heard about it. | ||
Yep, you know, whatever. | ||
When the boot comes and crushes my content, then I'll go read a book down by the river. | ||
Ralph, thanks for the super chat. | ||
DZ says, since the MSM is putting info out and changing it later, why don't they go back and remove their original pieces to further the gaslighting effect? | ||
Because I don't think they have confidence. | ||
I don't think they actually care about what we think. | ||
They know that the average person is going to see the news and just regurgitate the headline. | ||
That's all that matters. | ||
So one week, it's really funny. | ||
The cycle is falling apart. | ||
Yesterday, Brian Stalter says, a quote from Trump, you know, or a quote from admin officials, Trump is trying to put the onus on governors, you know, and make them take responsibility. | ||
Let that sink in. | ||
Everyone's like, that's what's supposed to happen. | ||
The governor is supposed to be responsible. | ||
A day later, CNN reports, Trump wants to reopen the economy, but the governors are the ones who have the power. | ||
How does CNN simultaneously put out contradictory opinion a day after it? | ||
Ah, news. | ||
Exactly. | ||
They don't know. | ||
They don't care. | ||
They just want to say what they need to say to get the clicks the time. | ||
Kaj says, Tim, I remember you used to say life is boring. | ||
Would you want to go back to those boring days or stay with the rising authoritarianism and pandemic? | ||
Boring days were more fun. | ||
Because, man, these authoritarian stories are ludicrous. | ||
I agree. | ||
Nightmarish. | ||
Getting crazy, man. | ||
We'll see, though. | ||
You know, maybe we'll get, you know, Mad Max. | ||
It'll be inadvertently exciting. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Good, I'm glad. | ||
Interesting. | ||
Thanks for coming to member Kyle Buchanan says as a refrigeration tech my life has not changed at all in this | ||
whole thing Wow interesting as a guy who works from his basement. It is | ||
also not changed for me either It's been nice like a little bit, you know | ||
But you know, I guess we can't go out to eat sometimes when we want to periodically | ||
You know, we're fine says call people who want to remove gender pennywise because they are a whole | ||
a whole circus. | ||
Badoomch. | ||
All Metal Mike says, Tim, Adam, and Lydia, please help. | ||
All the money I've saved by not going to Wawa is being spent on Super Chats. | ||
Love your show. | ||
Appreciate it. | ||
Thanks, man. | ||
Well, it's actually better because if you go to Wawa and you get a bunch of sandwiches, | ||
now you'll be eating less. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Actually, it's probably not a good thing because... | ||
No, it is a good thing. | ||
Maybe. | ||
Wawa actually has some really killer peach iced tea. | ||
You were telling me. | ||
The peach iced tea is good. | ||
We can't anymore, but you know. | ||
STFU says, hey, it, that, and they. | ||
What are the odds the media admits in three months that HCQ was the real reason for the drop in hospitalizations and deaths? | ||
I don't know what HCQ is. | ||
Oh, hydroxychloroquine. | ||
Yeah, maybe. | ||
Seems unlikely. | ||
The conspiracy theory right now is that the pharmaceutical companies want a vaccine because they can control it. | ||
Right. | ||
And hydroxychloroquine is a generic. | ||
As much as I am not very much of a conspiracy theorist, I would bet a substantial amount of money, like if you asked me to, I'd be like, oh, I'll totally bet on the fact that pharmaceutical companies are lobbying for a vaccine over a treatment, for sure. | ||
Something they can control. | ||
Remember the guy who made the polio vaccine? | ||
unidentified
|
Jonas Salk? | |
Gave it away. | ||
Yeah, gave it away. | ||
Remember the good old days of being a hero? | ||
That was back when we had community. | ||
Being validated. | ||
We don't have community anymore. | ||
You're right. | ||
It used to be like, man, people are really gonna love me if I do this. | ||
Now it's like, I don't care about you. | ||
I just want money. | ||
How do we bring that community back to humans? | ||
I don't know, man. | ||
That's a real question. | ||
Yeah, we need to foster a culture that encourages people to be together, but social media encourages tribalism and division. | ||
Can't say that I'm not a part of that. | ||
I think, you know, everybody plays that game. | ||
Ceylon Blue says, Devastating new research indicates that, similar to HIV, CV19 compromises the immune system, T-cells, and turns off their protective function, allowing the virus to replicate without interference. | ||
I don't know if that is true. | ||
For those that are curious, it was a super chat, so, I don't know. | ||
Google it. | ||
Kyle Buchanan says, I live in Oklahoma. | ||
Most of the farms that are destroying their crop is because none of the processing plants are buying, so there's no room to store. | ||
Well, I hope they store enough for themselves. | ||
Jack Saunders says, Tim, please laugh at Adam's jokes more. | ||
He's funny. | ||
unidentified
|
He is, yeah. | |
That's creepy, actually. | ||
You should wait until I actually tell a joke. | ||
unidentified
|
That wasn't funny. | |
Ceylon Blue says, also reports that numerous patients infected show damage well beyond | ||
just the lungs, with notable damage to the heart, liver, and other organs. | ||
That I did see. | ||
That about heart. | ||
That I did see. | ||
I saw the heart thing. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I mean, I just wanted to say one thing on that though. | ||
Most of the people that are getting this are already damaged in some sense, right? | ||
They have heart disease. | ||
They have certain kind of things. | ||
It's like, aren't they just shedding all of that to light? | ||
Like, how do we know that that wasn't, that it was specifically caused by COVID? | ||
I think if doctors are highlighting it, it's probable, to say the least. | ||
It's not a pre-existing thing. | ||
Because I haven't seen that yet, and I'm interested in that. | ||
I've seen the stories. | ||
Well, like, the actual doctor reports and, like, what they had, you know, I mean, I've been saying it. | ||
I just want more information about who's getting it. | ||
You know what the truth is, man? | ||
What's actually happening to them. | ||
The reality is, nobody really knows. | ||
I know, that's the scary part. | ||
But I mean like more than that, it's like we think the doctors know, they don't. | ||
The doctors know what they're being told by other experts. | ||
So look man, this is like a big, big, you know, open secret for the world. | ||
When you go to like, I'll tell you what, I went to a news conference, | ||
met some of the most famous journalists in the world. | ||
They had no idea what they were doing. | ||
I was impressed. | ||
A tiny fraction of people actually know what's happening. | ||
It feels like the media is pretty accurate. | ||
Yeah, maybe that's just a drag. | ||
Do they have any idea what they're doing? | ||
Man. | ||
They probably have an idea of what they're doing, but not about what's going on. | ||
I think you'll find experts, and they'll be able to tell you a lot about certain things, but they probably don't know very much more than we know. | ||
Obviously, a doctor is going to know how to perform surgery and save lives, and they're going to know a lot more than you. | ||
But when it comes to this stuff and hydroxychloroquine and all that, we assume that they know, and This is a new thing, not, you know, studied in the past. | ||
They might know some stuff about it, but they're gonna know only a little bit more than anyone else knows. | ||
Actually, you ever see that movie? | ||
It's called The Man from Earth. | ||
You ever see that? | ||
You should definitely check it out. | ||
I am going to ruin this movie for anyone who hasn't seen it, but it's like 20 years old, so. | ||
A bunch of teachers, professors from a college, go to this shack to see this guy who's packing up. | ||
He's a professor, he's leaving. | ||
He's quitting and taking off. | ||
And they're like, you're leaving and we're gonna have drinks. | ||
Throughout the course of their get-together, they slowly start to learn that this man is, in fact, immortal. | ||
And that he is tons of historical figures that they've known about. | ||
And so, one person says, you must be, like, the smartest person on the planet. | ||
And he was like, why would you think that? | ||
I only know as much as anyone else knows. | ||
So, I don't know anything more than you. | ||
And so, it turns out he has, like, 30 degrees. | ||
Like, PhDs. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Yeah, but a PhD from the 1700s or the 1800s is worthless. | ||
It's total garbage information. | ||
So the point he makes is that even though he's someone who is an expert in certain things, he knows almost the exact same most of the public knows. | ||
There are some things he's an expert on, but he can't tell you more than the average person. | ||
Okay, I can see that. | ||
But that's the interesting point I'm trying to make. | ||
You go to a doctor. | ||
You ask him about certain scientific things. | ||
They're going to tell you everything in the world. | ||
You ask him about, hey, Donald Trump just came out and said something about hydroxychloroquine. | ||
He's going to be like, I don't know a whole lot about it. | ||
Here's what I think. | ||
And you're gonna be like, well, you're a doctor, so your opinion is a little bit more important. | ||
But how could he possibly know more if there's been no guidelines, no releases, no tests, no studies, you know? | ||
So I'll say that about Dr. Fauci. | ||
All he's really been saying is, we don't know. | ||
When he was like, there's no long-term studies. | ||
Okay. | ||
You can't really add much to the conversation in that case, you know? | ||
Nailed it. | ||
Did he endorse him? | ||
Let's see. Mark G says, of course, zombies are real. We have one running for president. | ||
Yes, I think you nailed it. Yeah, nailed it. Bernie Sanders endorsing Joe Biden. What is | ||
up with that? Did he endorse him? Formal endorsement today. | ||
Yeah. It's a shame. Yeah. | ||
Yep. | ||
Endorse the zombie guy. | ||
JP says UK police are slippery. | ||
Susan King says glad to show some support, appreciate it. | ||
Thanks. | ||
Keith Dien says the internet tells me Americans bit each other once every 12 minutes in 2015. | ||
Apparently it's common enough to get its own study. | ||
Alright, that's what I thought. | ||
So zombies aren't just now here. | ||
They've always been here. | ||
They've been us the whole time. | ||
The real zombies were the friends you made along the way. | ||
It's gonna be the crazy virus that spawned from some crazy infectious mouth of a human that bites another human, that causes them to bite another human, and then those people bite other humans, and then it's just, you know, a big pyramid effect after that. | ||
The sad reality is that I was reading this article about why zombies would never happen. | ||
It's because biting is actually a really ineffective way to transmit a disease. | ||
Like, you think about all the diseases that actually work, it's like airborne or, you know, otherwise. | ||
So, uh, sorry Jesus. | ||
Careful, careful. | ||
He got to spin the UFO because it was chilling. | ||
There we go. | ||
There you go, chat. | ||
I got you. | ||
All right, Joey Giggles says, I'm against... I've heard your prayers. | ||
Joey says, I'm against quarantine. | ||
However, I'm staying in because I respect people and know what I can do to help. | ||
But if I get told I can't do something, I'm going to have a problem. | ||
In NJ, we are getting to that point. | ||
Who becomes the bad guy here, me or the gov? | ||
Well, I'll tell you what, the Constitution, the law of this land, shall not be infringed. | ||
And if they tell you you can't worship, and you can't gather, they're in violation of our laws. | ||
So, you know, this is the challenge, because I know how YouTube is going to take this one. | ||
The police are always right. | ||
They'll side with... No, I'm sorry. | ||
I side with the law. | ||
You always gotta follow the law. | ||
The law says you can assemble. | ||
The law says you can worship. | ||
Yep. | ||
I agree. | ||
Yeah, but people are being arrested anyway. | ||
Yeah, I don't really get the, you know, showing up in your, like, your car is a quarantine zone. | ||
I don't get it. | ||
The whole, like, why couldn't I drive around if I wanted to? | ||
Like, just to get out of the house. | ||
I think it's because they're actually concerned about social breakdown. | ||
I mean, they're making people hate them. | ||
Not trust them. | ||
You'd think if society broke down, you'd want to trust the police officers, but now they're like arresting people. | ||
Like, they're arresting the normal citizens, not like, you know, the criminals that are nefarious and out there looking to do stuff. | ||
I feel like any one of these people in government should be smart enough to know what comes next. | ||
Maybe they're not. | ||
But if it were me, and I wanted to make sure the system was sustained, and that we survived, I would crack down harder than anything you've seen on these cops that are arresting people for this. | ||
I'd do everything with my power to sanction, censure, whatever. | ||
Obviously what they're doing isn't necessarily criminal. | ||
You know, I say it's a violation of the Constitution, but statutory law. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But if I was like the mayor, and I heard these cops did this, I'd be like, I'd make a public statement and be like, I am coming for each and every one of you that violates the civil liberties of a citizen because you want to be overzealous. | ||
When you go out and arrest a dude for paddleboarding, you make people scared. | ||
You make them worry. | ||
You make them think we're lying. | ||
Exactly. | ||
So if, but here's the thing, they're not doing that. | ||
So that says to me, they don't care that things are breaking down. | ||
Or they're in on it. | ||
Not in on it, but they're communicating with the police. | ||
And they want it? | ||
They know what's happening. | ||
The point I'm trying to make is, if they were smart, they would know that what they're doing will lead to complete social chaos. | ||
I agree. | ||
So they must want it. | ||
Do you think it's possible that the doctors, they just don't really know what to do? | ||
In what capacity? | ||
The doctors? | ||
Oh, right, right, right. | ||
think about how it's going to look to other people that people are the cops | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
are pulling people out of the ocean. | ||
The doctors? | ||
Like the doctors, the police and the lawmaker. | ||
Oh, right, right, right. | ||
They just don't know what to do. | ||
No. | ||
You don't think so? | ||
No, because if someone said to you, if so, if someone said to you, you don't | ||
want to come within six feet of another person. | ||
And because of this, we're asking people to stay home. | ||
If you then run full speed up to somebody on the beach to try and catch them, you must be a moron. | ||
You were specifically told that's what we're avoiding. | ||
Yeah, I don't understand. | ||
What if that runner, he wasn't wearing a mask, neither the runner or the cop was wearing a mask in that, in that video. | ||
So what if that runner did have COVID and that cop ran after him? | ||
And the funny thing is, is you see these, these, um, computer animations of like the spray of breath. | ||
And it goes 12 feet, not 6 feet. | ||
So that cop running to try to catch up, but running behind the dude, is getting hit with the guy's breath. | ||
He's running into it, being blanketed in all of that goodness. | ||
If he did have it, you've got it now, and he got away from you. | ||
Congrats. | ||
Either they're the stupidest people on the planet, or they don't actually care about the virus. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's like, we were talking about this before, the toilet paper raids. | ||
Like, if the doctors are coming out, the government's coming out, and they're saying, like, don't go in big groups, you'll get sick, and your first thought is, I better jam myself into a crowd of a hundred plus people to get the toilet paper, you must be a moron. | ||
You know what? | ||
Morons aren't even the right word. | ||
Because people can be stupid. | ||
But I'm talking like, developmentally disabled. | ||
And I don't mean that in a disrespectful way. | ||
I mean that in the literal medical sense. | ||
That cop must have been developmentally disabled. | ||
Like, he's not all there. | ||
And I don't mean that to elicit an emotional response. | ||
I mean that literally the guy was just like, Couldn't comprehend basic logical systems. | ||
Couldn't follow instructions. | ||
But there's so many cops that are doing this. | ||
Now obviously the stories we're talking about are like a couple dozen. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Not hundreds or thousands. | ||
You got 36,000 cops in New York alone. | ||
The videos we've actually seen of the cops have been really normal to regular people. | ||
That's why I'm saying the ones we're seeing must be the really, really broken-brained people. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I would still come out hardcore if it were me in government, which it would never be, but if I was ever in that position, I would be like, I want his badge. | ||
I would go nuts in certain capacities, like I've seen so many stories, I would go nuts. | ||
I can't believe that there's so many stories where like, The Fernando Castile. | ||
That was the guy who was a legal gun owner who got killed. | ||
Yeah. | ||
How does that not result in, like, you know... Well, I don't want to pretend like I know exactly what happened, because it's been a while since I've gone over the story, but, like, situations like that, where a legal gun owner gets killed driving home doing nothing wrong, I mean, there were some issues about it, like, I think he had pot on him. | ||
Still, I think the government could earn more trust by coming out and being like, here's where we draw the line between criminals and people we will not give, you know, We won't give lenience to. | ||
And here's the line for people who are good people who have maybe made a mistake and we're going to be fair and honest and act in good faith for them. | ||
What's even crazier is that the cops that are going through training got graduated early. | ||
Months early. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So now the new cops on the force on the front line aren't even fully trained. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh man. | |
You want to know what's really funny? | ||
Talk about a scary situation. | ||
You ever see Fight Club? | ||
Of course. | ||
It's a great movie. | ||
You've seen Fight Club? | ||
Sure, yeah. | ||
Yeah? | ||
No, I haven't. | ||
Wait, you haven't seen Fight Club? | ||
unidentified
|
No! | |
Wait, why'd you say yeah? | ||
I have to! | ||
Everyone's seen Fight Club! | ||
But you haven't! | ||
You haven't seen it? | ||
Totally gotta watch Fight Club later. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
But there's a scene where Edward Norton's on a plane and he's talking to a guy and he says, my job is... what was he, like a risk assessment guy for a car company or something? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Basically, what he said was, if the cost of a recall is more than the cost of the lawsuits, we will not recall the cars. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
That's true for everything, man. | ||
unidentified
|
That's crazy. | |
So check this out. | ||
In New York, this is what I was told by someone. | ||
I can't say necessarily who because it's private sourcing. | ||
But a long time ago I was told this story. | ||
It could be wrong, mind you. | ||
It's just scuttlebutt from someone I know in the city. | ||
And some guy walked out of the Empire State Building. | ||
Apparently he had shot up his office or something. | ||
The cops show up and start firing. | ||
Could you look this up for me actually? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Cops started firing at this guy. | ||
He's carrying a gun. | ||
And they ended up hitting like seven civilians. | ||
All of a sudden there was this big uproar over why the cops had hit so many civilians. | ||
And what I was told was that they don't do complete firearms training for a lot of the cops. | ||
Because the cost of the training for all of the cops is more than the cost of the lawsuits they have to pay out every year. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Yup. | ||
Was that the 2012 shooting? | ||
Is that what it is? | ||
What's the story? | ||
Yeah, so, on August 24th, gunman shot and killed former co-worker outside the Empire State Building. | ||
Following the initial shooting, the shooter was fatally shot by police officers after raising his weapon. | ||
Nine bystanders were wounded. | ||
Nine? | ||
Yeah. | ||
None suffered life-threatening injuries. | ||
And so, I can't remember who I was talking to, but it was someone who I assumed had knowledge of how the system worked. | ||
And they said, Look at the cost per individual for like... They do basic training, right? | ||
But it's like the bare minimum. | ||
Yeah, but see, this is what's wrong with humans. | ||
This kind of thing right here. | ||
It's like we value profit over the values of a human being. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
It's like, how can we not? | ||
We're trusting these people to carry the law in their hands and make sure people are abiding by it. | ||
But when they aren't even fully properly trained, To handle specific situations, especially when it involves a gun, when you have to take the gun out of the holster, you need special training. | ||
Actually, yeah. | ||
People don't know that. | ||
I know. | ||
It doesn't make any sense that they're not even being fully trained. | ||
That blows me away. | ||
So the general idea is they're getting, I'm doing air quotes, full training, but that it's inadequate for like what a person would need to deal with high stress environments and things like that. | ||
Um, it's a, you're becoming a police officer. | ||
You're going to have high stress environments. | ||
Eventually you're going to hit that. | ||
Right. | ||
So how are they not being trained for it? | ||
That blows me away. | ||
Again, anecdotal. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Someone's going to be like, here's the official documents. | ||
But the general idea is it would be too expensive to give everyone like a hardcore full on training. | ||
Yeah, well, I don't know if that's true. | ||
Again, I'm just saying, and there's a reason why I don't like, I didn't do a big report on or whatever. | ||
It was scuttlebutt. | ||
I was talking to somebody who had done work with the city and it was like, that's, that's how they explained it to me. | ||
I wonder where that word comes from. | ||
Scuttlebutt? | ||
Scuttlebutt. | ||
Like, somebody telling me, like, here's my experience. | ||
See, and I'll tell you something funny. | ||
There's a reason why I would never include... I'm very, very careful to be like, I don't know for sure. | ||
Is this what someone told me? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Because if I was like any of these other journalists, I'd be like, this is what the anonymous source tells me. | ||
The government isn't, you know, and that makes a big explosion about it. | ||
No, no, no, no. | ||
So let's grab some more Super Chats. | ||
Oh yeah, we're still on Super Chats. | ||
I must actually increase the speed because we are absolutely... Look at this, we're slammed. | ||
So I'm going to read as many as I can, but I apologize. | ||
You guys are awesome. | ||
Thank you for the Super Chats, but there are too many. | ||
Also, don't forget to hit that like button because it really does help, especially now when YouTube props up mainstream media. | ||
I don't know if anything can be done about it. | ||
You know, CNN got like 270 million views this month. | ||
Wow. | ||
Because YouTube puts them on the front page of YouTube.com, guaranteed. | ||
Oh, well that makes sense. | ||
And you know what they did earlier? | ||
So apparently Donald Trump was mad at the press. | ||
Oh, really? | ||
Yes, what else is new? | ||
And he made a video that like showed his timeline for the work he did. | ||
Whatever. | ||
CNN ran a bunch of chyrons that were total whiny baby, cry baby insanity. | ||
Saying like, Trump turns press briefing into angry propaganda session. | ||
I'm like, what? | ||
Yeah, there was a bunch of them. | ||
People were tweeting these out like, whoa, CNN is melting down. | ||
They take it so personally. | ||
It's like, So then one guy from CNN highlights Fox News, who is just quoting the president. | ||
Now the quotes from the president are boastful. | ||
And he was like, here's what Fox News is doing. | ||
And Fox was like, Trump says, quote, we're going to be doing great. | ||
CNN was like editorializing and complaining and stomping their feet. | ||
That doesn't sound like news. | ||
It sounds like opinion pieces. | ||
Yep. | ||
Exactly. | ||
So CNN's just opinion now. | ||
Yes, it is. | ||
And YouTube's propping that up. | ||
It's the most annoying thing in the world, man. | ||
Yeah, that's annoying. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I want the truth. | ||
Let's grab these super chats. | ||
But anyway, that's what I was saying. | ||
Hit the like button. | ||
Share the podcast. | ||
It does help. | ||
So look, I'll put it this way. | ||
YouTube will always give them whatever they want. | ||
And they will push us down. | ||
So the only way we overcome that is if people actually take the initiative and say, like, here, I'm going to share this. | ||
Yes. | ||
Help push us up. | ||
Look, I'll fully admit I would love if you all shared this link on some platform. | ||
Yes. | ||
But I do mean it with the utmost sincerity. | ||
We are deranked. | ||
CNN is propped up. | ||
You go to YouTube.com, they announce they're putting authoritative voices like CBS and CNN on the front page. | ||

The military was called in and reports of planes dropping bombs on miners. | ||
Whoa! | ||
Someone actually sent me some of that. | ||
I was reading into it. | ||
We should pull it up for tomorrow. | ||
We'll do it. | ||
Yeah, we'll talk about it. | ||
Justin4 says, my supervisor hates my puns, so I'm testing them on you first before work resumes. | ||
What's heavier, one pound of water or one pound of butane? | ||
Water, because butane is a lighter fluid. | ||
Not bad. | ||
I like it. | ||
I approve. | ||
I kind of saw it coming, but it wasn't bad. | ||
Jet Chisholm says, we had a 911 call for a girl experiencing psychosis and being violent. | ||

Hutch the Wolf says, you guys wanted a scientist to explain Coney 2012. | ||
There's a vid from Internet Historian that covers it and Fallout perfectly. | ||
We'll check it out. | ||
Generic background character says, Bro, everyone knows that by taking your clothes off it can raise your power level and you can go super saiyan if you yell loud enough. | ||
That's good to know. | ||
But they didn't rip their clothes off when they went super saiyan in Dragon Ball Z. No, they just melted from the sheer power and muscles. | ||
No, but it is true that early on in Dragon Ball Z there was a thing where they would take off their weighted clothing. | ||
Oh yeah, the weight. | ||
So like, Goku's fighting somebody and he's like, time to get serious! | ||
And then he takes his suit off and they hit the ground and go, doom! | ||
And like, dent the ground and people are like, woah! | ||
And then the same thing happens with Piccolo. | ||
He takes his headpiece off and drops it and goes, doom! | ||
Like it's weighted. | ||
It's almost like, you ever see Princess Bride? | ||
When he's like, I have something to tell you. | ||
I am not left-handed! | ||
And then he switches to his right hand. | ||
Yeah, it's like that. | ||
Except taking your clothes off. | ||
Same thing, right? | ||
Yeah. | ||

ShadowFox2300 says, well, I guess it's time to get back to eating MREs again. | ||
Damn, it's like JRTC all over again. | ||
We do have some MREs. | ||
I think they're going to expire soon, actually, because they're really old. | ||
Yeah, we need to eat those first. | ||
They're good. | ||
I like them. | ||
I think they were already bad. | ||
Really? | ||
No, I think they're 2021 or 2022 or something. | ||
Okay. | ||
Yeah, I think they're, I don't know, we'll check them out. | ||
I got them just because they're fun. | ||
You like the little powder and you pour the water and it gets all hot and you put it on the food and then you eat it out of the bag. | ||
I think it's fun. | ||
Look how excited you are. | ||
It's fun when you don't have to eat them, you know what I mean? | ||
Like when it's all you got, you're probably gonna be like, ugh, this again. | ||
There's some good ones, though. | ||

Be their messiah. | ||
No. | ||
Well, hold on, hold on. | ||
Hold on. | ||
I'll tell you what. | ||
I feel like I, I don't want to talk about it. | ||
I feel like somehow it keeps bringing it up. | ||
I don't want to talk about it because it's for me. | ||
It's, it's my own. | ||
I am doing it for myself, you know? | ||
But it's going to come up because a meat shortage, right? | ||
Yeah. | ||
But I'll tell you what. | ||
You know what's gonna happen with all of these new forced vegans? | ||
They're gonna be like, like Smeagol from Lord of the Rings. | ||
Because they don't know what to eat or where to get their nutrients, and you do. | ||

Potatoes. | ||

That's all I have to say. | |
You heard it from Soy Jesus. | ||
Just eat potatoes, you're good. | ||
You'd be surprised how much protein is in a potato. | ||
How much? | ||
A good amount. | ||
Good source. | ||
Eat one potato. | ||
That's all the protein you need for a meal. | ||
But is it a complete amino? | ||
No, no, no. | ||
You need other stuff. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
It's like you get good proteins from a potato. | ||
When I first found that out, I thought that was cool. | ||
I read that rice and beans, everything you need. | ||
And some potatoes. | ||
Yeah, man. | ||
But just rice and beans together, you could literally eat nothing but rice and beans and be fine. | ||
Yeah, it gets a little boring, throw a little potato in there. | ||
I'm just kidding, I don't know. | ||
He loves his potatoes, that's fair. | ||
I do. | ||
Alright, let's try and speed up because we are lagging on these Super Chats. | ||

Darth Zakat says, OK, how does this work, Tim? | ||
We have food shortages, and then on the other end, we have too little demand, so farmers and dairy is throwing out. | ||
How can two opposites hold? | ||
So the meat plants are shutting down, which is resulting in a food shortage, a meat shortage. | ||
Then you have logistics collapsing, so ships that normally bring the food in can't bring it in, so those areas experience shortages. | ||
The farmers have food they can't send anywhere, so they just dump it. | ||
They can't store it. | ||
They can't store it. | ||
Right. | ||
And the plants that process them aren't taking them. | ||
And they have so much extra because schools and hospitals and hotels are all closed. | ||
So the food shortages are localized, like Newfoundland or Sicily. | ||
The actual food supply, as far as we know, exists. | ||
This is the misleading thing because all of these news stories I've read say, don't worry, the food is still being produced like normal. | ||
The food is there. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But what they're not telling you is it's just never going to make it to your town. | ||
Potentially. | ||
Right. | ||
Maybe. | ||
Alright, Lero says, Well, depending on what they are, the first thing I would say is make sure you're not going to be sending ridiculously valuable cards. | ||

Yes. | |
Some of these old cards could be worth hundreds or thousands of dollars. | ||
them a good home. If so, how might I contact you to work out the details? | ||
Well depending on what they are, the first thing I would say is make sure you're not | ||
going to be sending ridiculously valuable cards. Some of these old cards could be worth | ||
hundreds or thousands of dollars. Now, if it turns out you don't care or you've checked | ||
or you want to just give them anyway, you can go to TimCast.com slash donate and I have | ||
Box where if you'd like to send some magic cards, that would be greatly appreciated, but I will stress, I strongly recommend, depending on how old they are, you personally, first of all, be very careful with them. | ||

One little piece of paper this big. | ||
Can you see that? | ||
$166,000 for perfect condition. $166,000. | ||
So for those that don't, let me just put it this way, they're trading cards, they're collectibles, they're rare and valuable. | ||
If you have anything going back to the original sets, we're talking thousands of bucks apiece. | ||
I'd be more than happy to accept a donation of that caliber, but for your sake... Whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
That was for both of us. | ||
So we'd have to cut it in half. | ||
Alright, I'll get the bottom half. | ||
No, no, no. | ||
No, straight up the middle. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
I'll stress again, make, double check. | ||
You know, if you send a bunch of, you'd be surprised, man. | ||

He keeps saying the Biden allegations are 30 years old. | ||
They happened in 1993, Tim. | ||
I was born then. | ||
I'm 26, not 30. | ||
I'll be young forever, Tim. | ||
I'll never die. | ||
That's exactly what I said. | ||
I said, this is not 30 years ago. | ||
He's rounding up. | ||
I'm not rounding up. | ||
When I say a 30-year-old allegation, I'm not necessarily referring specifically to this one. | ||
Maybe I said it poorly. | ||
What I'm trying to say is like, We have these stories like Kavanaugh and Biden, which are decades old. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Okay. | ||
Yeah, 27 years. | ||
All right. | ||
Yeah, 27, not 26. | ||

I'm not quite sure when it ends, but as far as when the game ends, or the first game, getting out of Midgar, since it is only Midgar, I'm assuming since I'm right at that point that I'm about to be at the end. | ||
How many hours do you think? | ||
Right now, I am at 38 hours. | ||
Wow! | ||

You've been playing it non-stop. | ||

I'm not sure, I haven't seen that one. | ||
Lots of people are asking us to talk about QAnon, though. | ||
You know, I'm not super into the Q stuff, because... | ||
I'm not seeing much. | ||
People send me stuff and then I'll click and I'll read about it. | ||
There have been some high profile... I don't know where... You know Marcus Pearson, the guy who made Minecraft? | ||
Okay. | ||
I'm pretty sure he tweeted that Q was real. | ||
I want to be very careful. | ||
Yeah, Google it. | ||
Fact check me, because I really want to make sure. | ||
I do not want to get sued. | ||
You're right, because this is a Q thing. | ||
What's his name, Marcus? | ||
Yeah, search for Notch. | ||
N-O-T-C-H. | ||
Notch tweets Q. I'm pretty sure he did. | ||
I usually have a good memory on things, like I was only off a little bit on that Empire State Building story. | ||
Yeah, you were quite close. | ||
Quite close. | ||
Yeah, there was more victims. | ||
Oh yeah, QAnon conspiracy endorsed by Minecraft creator Marcus... whatever his name is. | ||
And he used that catchphrase. | ||
Oh, the WWG thing? | ||
Well, there you go. | ||
There's a lot of high-profile people who believe this, but that doesn't mean it's true. | ||
I'm waiting for solid evidence. | ||
The stuff I've seen from it has not been at all interesting or in any way convinced me that anything was worth looking into, to be honest. | ||
I know a lot of people are really into it. | ||
Yeah, I'm waiting to be convinced, too. | ||
A lot of people are asking for you to do something about it. | ||
It's just a little too out there. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Well, there you have it, everybody. | ||
I think it would be stupid if I didn't look into it, though, so I can at least say that. | ||
I should definitely know more about it. | ||
It's the number one thing people suggest to me. | ||
The QAnon stuff. | ||
Really? | ||
Over the past month and a half of people tweeting at me, I would say that's the number one thing. | ||
What I've seen so far, I do not believe it's legit. | ||
Well, there you have it. | ||
But I'll admit, I have not done a deep dive. | ||
Maybe we should do a deep dive. | ||
Yeah, I'll try it. | ||
Yeah, yeah, maybe it'd be a good idea. | ||
I have a feeling, my personal bias is that the stuff I've read, we're gonna come out on the side of it not being legit. | ||
Good. | ||
To bring them out? | ||
Sounds good to me. | ||
Yeah, let's look it up. | ||
Slugtrail says, atheistic incarnation, term I coined, theoretically in a world without God, took 13 billion years for you to incarnate consciously once. | ||
Chances of it happening again after you die? | ||
Theoretically possible. | ||
Opinion? | ||
Well, one of my favorite quotes from... I have no idea who it's from and I kind of feel bad because it's so cool. | ||
Someone said that we are the universe becoming aware of itself. | ||
And I love that quote. | ||
Is that Carl Sagan or something? | ||
Maybe? | ||
It could be something along those lines. | ||
Do you know who that is? | ||
unidentified
|
Alan Watts. | |
There you go. | ||
Not Carl Sagan. | ||
Close. | ||
Also, such a cool phrase though. | ||
If you just think about it. | ||
Because it's true. | ||
We weren't here. | ||
Now we're here. | ||
Now we're aware. | ||
We're aware. | ||
You ever play Super Mario World? | ||
Yeah. | ||
You know those obstacles where it's like a white bar, and the ghost emerges from it and moves around as part of it? | ||
Yeah, okay. | ||
Remember that? | ||
Yeah, that's what we are. | ||
That bar is the universe, and we're just like this weird thing emerging from the membrane, walking around, and then sinking back in eventually. | ||
Huh. | ||
Okay. | ||
Maybe so. | ||
We are the universe, but we're just like a little bit popping up and moving around. | ||
unidentified
|
That sounds like us. | |
Yeah, we're the ghost thing from Mario World. | ||
That's what we are. | ||
That's an easy way to explain it. | ||
Wonderful. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
All right. | ||
East Shore says, also, Tim, I wanted your opinion on a thought I had. | ||
If hospitals completely ran out of respirators or were low on medication to treat this, do you think that they would take the supplies from nursing homes or, worse, shut them down? | ||
I think that's a better question for you. | ||
I think that's probable, unfortunately. | ||
Nursing homes do not have respirators, though, as far as I know. | ||
Those are only for acute care units, hospitals. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Because you don't do that kind of care in a nursing home. | ||
What if this is just the beginning? | ||
Come August, millions dead. | ||
People are biting everyone. | ||
This is wood, by the way. | ||
Oh man. | ||
I do find it weird they've made it increasingly harder to buy a gun. | ||
And now they're locking everyone in their houses. | ||
That's really weird. | ||
Stormwolf says, Dallas Essential HVAC worker here. | ||
Love you guys and trust you guys most. | ||
Come to Texas, got more food than we know what to do with. | ||
Not too much has gone crazy except for quarantine. | ||
Well, sounds good if we make it down there. | ||
You'll see us. | ||
I do have some friends in Texas and one of them has a pretty large farm that has said to me, come. | ||
I've had people being like, get out now! | ||
Texas, they're awesome. | ||
Texans are awesome, man. | ||
And it's funny, you'd think that you wouldn't want to go to Texas because everyone's got a gun, but like, everyone's got a gun. | ||
unidentified
|
That's what you want. | |
So it's safe in Texas. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||

Jet Chisholm says, COVID-19 causes such a profound inflammatory response that it causes plaque instability causing occlusions. | ||
Also, this inflammatory response can cause pericarditis. | ||
That is the heart disorder. | ||

Interesting. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Hey, send me those too. | ||
That's my handle. | ||
You can tweet at me. | ||
Yes. | ||
Send me that info. | ||
I would like to read it also. | ||

Trent Lomelino says, Dr. Burke said the government is considering any death that the person also has COVID-19 as a death of the virus. | ||
I can recall several COVID deaths that didn't seem right. | ||
unidentified
|
There are some, but... Is this not how they qualify flu deaths as well? | |
I'm pretty sure, right? | ||
That was my understanding. | ||
Yeah, they do the same thing. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Flu complications. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
Chris Medill says, Tim, the reason for cops acting this way is simple. | ||
They're making people think the government is ordering this and trying to pin it on Trump. | ||
They can't win without either this or civil war. | ||
I wouldn't go that far. | ||
The reason why we're not seeing every single cop in New York do this is because the sane, regular cops aren't doing this because they're sane, regular cops. | ||

The really dumb ones are like, duh, why are you outside? | |
I'm gonna grab you. | ||

Why are you hassling me? | ||
Because some people are just stupid. | ||
That's the thing, man. | ||
Look, there's really smart cops, there's really dumb cops. | ||
Same with all everything. | ||
Exactly. | ||
All humans. | ||
There are stupid humans and smart humans. | ||
And we see the stories about the really dumb ones. | ||
It's really annoying. | ||
Yeah, because it's eye-catching. | ||
Oh, this person's really dumb. | ||
The dumb humans ruin it for the smart humans. | ||
Totally. | ||
Isn't that how it always is? | ||
The never-ending cycle. | ||
Stephen A. says, my best friend is graduating from the State Place Academy two months early. | ||
They are not letting them be untrained. | ||
My friend is training from 5 a.m. | ||
to 10 a.m. | ||
every day with only a 20-minute lunch break. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
Thank you for that. | ||
That makes me feel a lot better. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, totally. | |
So they're cramming it in. | ||
It's not as good as fulfilling the entire training on the time, but the fact that they're doing all of the studies, whatever. | ||
No, I'm happy. | ||
That's great to know that they're actually having to do all of the exam stuff. | ||
Raj M says, please interview Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, MIT PhD. | ||
Oh, that's, uh, that's Vaishiva, right? | ||
Someone suggested this before, I think. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Interesting dude. | ||
I don't know a lot about him, but I totally be down. | ||
Um, yeah, we'll see how it goes. | ||
I mean, we're quarantined, so I don't think... I saw a video about listening to him do his spiel about things. | ||
He's the guy who... Is that the guy who created email? | ||
Is that the same dude? | ||
Yeah, it is. | ||
It says he invented email. | ||
He did? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Is he the guy claiming he invented email? | ||
No he's got a patent on email and he shows it. | ||
I've listened to this guy and honestly it just it feels like he's trying to push his own kind of vibe. | ||
I'll tell you what, I don't know if I believe him. | ||
He's Indian, like from India. | ||
I think. | ||
And he held a rally in Boston where he got accused of being a Nazi and they surrounded him. | ||
And it's the weirdest thing in the world to see 40,000 white people surround a person of color screaming Nazi at him. | ||
Yeah, that's weird. | ||
That's what they did! | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, that's weird. | |
It doesn't make any sense. | ||
I know. | ||
I'm like, what? | ||
These people, they lost their mind, man. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
They lost their mind. | ||
Huh. | ||
All right. | ||
Yeah, but he says, uh, Dr. Shiva says that he knows Fauci is lying. | ||
He's also running against Pocahontas. | ||
That's, that's Elizabeth Warren. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Slogan is real Indian versus fake Indian. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, that's good. | |
I love it. | ||
Well, so, uh, I like Dr. Fauci and a lot of people have been dragging the guy, but This is what I was saying about doctors. | ||
Fauci on the 29th said, my understanding, I could be wrong about this, but he said something like, it's not going to be that bad. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It won't affect our lives. | ||
Yeah, he was wrong. | ||
So was everybody else. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And then he came out and said, if we acted sooner, of course the media wants to frame it like he was criticizing Trump, but he never said Trump's name. | ||
He was saying, if the government shut things down sooner. | ||
So sick of this. | ||
I'm so sick of the media, bro. | ||
Humans need to stop worrying about what happened and worry more about how to move forward. | ||
That is a huge difference that we need to fix. | ||
Like the media, all the obsessive of what happened. | ||
Look at what happened. | ||
Fauci said this. | ||
Four days later, he said that he was wrong. | ||
And it's like, yes, that's great. | ||
That means he's a doctor that follows science because science can change. | ||
But they tried taking what he said to make it seem like he was attacking Trump. | ||
Right. | ||
It's the stupidest thing. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Altering, making up stuff, talking about stuff that doesn't matter at all. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
Yeah. | ||
They've been trying really hard to make it seem like Fauci and Trump are fighting. | ||
It's like they want Trump to fire the guy. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But they've both repeatedly come out saying, stop it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Stop it. | ||
Like they just came out again. | ||
The White House came out again, I think today, saying this is ridiculous. | ||
Trump is not going to fire Fauci. | ||
They're like on the same page about this. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Dr. Fauci came out and said to the media, please stop doing this. | ||
We're not in disagreement. | ||
So Fauci's a doctor. | ||
His view of everything is through a medical lens. | ||
Trump is a businessman. | ||
His view of everything is through an economic lens. | ||
Trump passed away the fact that it's not just a medical crisis, it's an economic crisis. | ||
So Fauci will come out and say, here's the medical science says, and Trump is going to be like, consider these other things like food and logistics and international relations and security. | ||
Yeah. | ||
As far as I'm concerned, there's no controversy. | ||
It's good that they have even some controversy, not necessarily controversy, but having like a check, a person that's there that's from a different side of things to be like, you got to remember this. | ||
And well, what about this? | ||
And it's like, that's when good things happen. | ||
They really, really want to make it seem like they're fighting. | ||
I can't stand the media in this country, man. | ||
They're just whiny babies. | ||
Luciferian says, I find it very telling that the areas where people are resisting the quarantine the most are usually the places that could be labeled as more affluent and progressive. | ||

Well, YouTube spams you with these channels. | ||
And I get emails every day from people saying, I do not watch Fox News. | ||
They keep sending me to Fox News. | ||
Fox News is further to the right than me. | ||
Why would YouTube want to play into that narrative? | ||
to derank them since they get money from TV commercials already and other forms of revenue. | ||
Well, YouTube spams you with these channels. And I get emails every day from people saying | ||

Thank you. | ||
We were prepared ahead of time in large part because of your reporting. | ||
Thank you very much. | ||
I appreciate it. | ||
Nice. | ||
And I've come out several times, like, as these stories get crazier, I'd like to be optimistic and think that we're close to the end. | ||
Because Cuomo was like, maybe this is the peak. | ||
But with the food shortage stuff we might be seeing, this might be the worst of it. | ||
If it were me, I'd still get supplies. | ||
We've had our emergency food for a long time now. | ||
And so I would only recommend for other people what I would do for myself. | ||
I mean, there's even some other stuff. | ||
I've bought first aid kits. | ||
We've gotten multi-tools. | ||
I don't do promos for that stuff. | ||
Even though I would personally get it, I kind of feel like maybe I should, but I'm not gonna. | ||
The food stuff, I think, is very serious. | ||
People gotta eat. | ||
Definitely. | ||

Yep. | ||
Is that the, what was that, the Chaos Orb? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Oh, no. | ||
Well, there's two. | ||
There's an unglued version and the original one. | ||
You just... No, no, no. | ||
Do the Legend of the Chaos Confettias. | ||
I think I do. | ||
Someone ripped the card up into a bunch of pieces. | ||
Oh, yeah, yeah. | ||
And threw it all over their board, saying like... I destroyed your whole board. | ||
Yep. | ||
Right. | ||

Betafastachipa says, everyone's got a gun in Texas, so it's safe. | ||
Funny how that Second Amendment works out. | ||
Yeah, well, in Illinois, people have guns, but not legally, and it's not safe. | ||
Yeah, that's how that works. | ||
Legally. | ||
What are you talking about? | ||
In Illinois? | ||
Yeah. | ||
No, no, no, no, no, like in Illinois, there's a problem with a bunch of illegal guns. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
There's a bunch of gang violence involving guns. | ||
Oh, okay, because I have family members in Illinois that have guns. | ||
The gun violence in Chicago is caused by people illegally dealing and trading. | ||
Right, okay, okay. | ||
And so that's why a lot of the activists in Chicago have been trying to advocate for legal ownership to better track and control it. | ||
Because the city's been so strict and prohibited so much, they can't track this stuff. | ||
Yeah, Chicago is so sprawling, too. | ||
It's really hard. | ||
Like, New York, it's like an island. | ||
It's really easy to kind of keep it under control, and there's no guns in New York. | ||
But Chicago is not the same. | ||
It's like a clean, spread out, pushed out New York. | ||
Not as like, not like L.A., but it's still kind of a city. | ||
New York is five Chicago's crammed into one. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Super dense pockets. | ||
Basically, yeah, right. | ||
All right, let's jump to this story from the post-millennial. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
Canadian Armed Forces requires all personnel to stop using gendered pronouns. | ||
Now, I mean no disrespect for the post-millennial, but I have not seen this story anywhere else. | ||
Take it with a grain of salt. | ||
They say that they've seen documents and they've linked some images. | ||
So, documents obtained by conservative commentator Aaron Gunn, and presented to the Postmillennial, reveal that military personnel are no longer allowed to write he or she, but must replace it with they-them pronouns, regardless of an individual's preferred pronouns. | ||
So, first, I have to absolutely say this, this sounds so absolutely insane to me, I don't believe it. | ||
Sorry Postmillennial, it's just too nuts. | ||
Yeah, I don't think I agree with it either. | ||
But I believe it is possible to the point where I'm actually willing to read this and go through it. | ||
Here's what I'm trying to say, man. | ||
Well, it's where we are nowadays with this whole thing, isn't it? | ||
Well, there are some images they've posted that appear to be from this document. | ||
And maybe it's a little exaggerated, I don't know. | ||
But the postmortem has covered a bunch of stories I've seen, and the reporting tends to be, you know, good as far as I can tell. | ||
Let's read this. | ||
And let's just talk about gendered pronouns, you know, and we'll see what the story says. | ||
Sure. | ||
They say, in a new policy change, the Canadian Armed Forces will no longer be using gendered pronouns in official reports. | ||
They mention the documents obtained by Aaron Gunn. | ||
They're going to say, issued via Canadian Forces General Message. | ||
Is this, do they actually have a link to it? | ||
Let me see if I can open this up. | ||
Okay, what's this? | ||
I'm not gonna read through this, whatever this is. | ||
Yeah, actually, let's just do this. | ||
Let's do a Ctrl-F for gendered. | ||
Oh, hey, hey, there we go. | ||
What does it say? | ||
Oh, snap. | ||
This is from FAC.ca. | ||
It says, also based on a recent CAF cultural and normative shift to promote gender diversity and associated inclusiveness, CFPA's writing policy and guide will also reflect this new reality where sex, gender identity, and gender expression are prohibited grounds of discrimination under the Canadian Human Rights Act, forthwith the use of gender pronouns such as, quote, he, his, and she, her, unquote, are not to be used when drafting PERS. | ||
Members will be referred to by rank and name or by using gender-neutral pronouns, such as they there. | ||
Okay, so hold on. | ||
So it's just a written, in like their formal stuff they have to fill out, right? | ||
Is that what I'm understanding? | ||
It's not like speaking? | ||
Well, I don't know what a PERS is. | ||
Well, I thought it said somewhere that it's it's when when filling out when drafting these things Yeah, so drafting pers, you know, I don't know. | ||
I assume personnel member drafting personnel members Yeah, I know what that means. | ||
So I mean filling out all of their information. | ||
I I'm assuming that's what it would be, you know, so I I don't know it's like this whole thing is such a touchy subject so many people it's like Not, not, no, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
99% of, 92% of people in this country think it's insane. | ||
You're right. | ||
This is Canada, by the way. | ||
It's touchy with the people that care about it. | ||
You're right. | ||
That's really what it is, isn't it? | ||
They can, they can call themselves whatever they want. | ||
I don't care. | ||
Call them floor bows. | ||
Floor bows. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
Here's what, here's what, here's what it says. | ||
They say, issued via Canadian Forces General Message, these changes that deprive a person of their sex-based identity in writing are meant to encourage gender diversity. | ||
In reports on personnel, no superior will be allowed to use pronouns that designate or refer to a person's biological sex, the notice reads. | ||
Based on a recent CAF cultural normative shift, In practice, superiors who are required to write personnel reports for those who serve under them will not be allowed to use the pronouns of that person's choosing if they identify as male or female and use sex-based pronouns. | ||
Instead, everyone will be referred to with the accepted gender-neutral plural pronouns of they, their, them. | ||
It is not yet known how Canadian Armed Forces personnel will react to the deprivation of their sex-based identity in their personnel documents. | ||
That's transphobic, actually. | ||
If someone is born male but identifies as she-her and they refuse that... Yeah. | ||
See, this is what I try to tell people, that they don't understand what the results of these civil rights laws are. | ||
Right. | ||
Here's what they wanted. | ||
They wanted to be able to say in the military, you must call me the pronouns I want. | ||
The military's response? | ||
We're going to call everyone they-them. | ||
It's what I said about Florbo. | ||
If you want to be called something, the only thing I'm going to do to not be offensive is call everybody Florbo. | ||
Yep, exactly. | ||
That's what they're doing. | ||
Well, see, now I see problems arising, though. | ||
Do you have your tweet pulled up? | ||
Yes. | ||
Pull up your tweet. | ||
So Tim tweeted this. | ||
It says, Pat and Sam are going to the movies. | ||
Pat buys tickets for a horror film because they don't like drama. | ||
Sam gets upset because they really love drama. | ||
What happened? | ||
So what exactly happened? | ||
Who's upset? | ||
So this is a light-hearted, silly example because... No, no. | ||
Go ahead. | ||
I wouldn't even call it silly. | ||
This is a grammatical breakdown showing you that I have conveyed no sufficient information to tell you what's really going on. | ||
Right, exactly. | ||
So then you switch it, right? | ||
Let me read this for you. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Tim, read your own thing. | ||
All right. | ||
And then I'm going to give you the fixed version so you understand what really happened. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
Pat and Sam are going to the movies. | ||
Pat buys tickets for a horror film because they don't like drama. | ||
Sam gets upset because they really love drama. | ||
Now the question is, is it saying that Pat buys tickets for a horror film because both of them don't like drama, or only one of them? | ||
Who's the they referred to? | ||
Is the they referring to Pat? | ||
Sam gets upset because they really love drama. | ||
Is that saying that Sam thinks they both love drama? | ||
That Pat loves drama? | ||
Or that Sam loves drama? | ||
You don't know. | ||
Exactly. | ||
Now let me change the names. | ||
Bill and Sarah are going to the movies. | ||
Bill buys tickets for a horror film because they don't like drama. | ||
Sarah gets upset because she really loves drama. | ||
Now you understand what the context really is. | ||
Bill is under the assumption both of them don't like drama. | ||
They refers to the group. | ||
Sarah gets upset because she really does love drama. | ||
She really loves drama. | ||
Because I used they, I had to use the singular of love. | ||
Yeah, it's confusing. | ||
The whole plural versus singular, it's not, it's not grammatically correct. | ||
So they need to come up with something that makes sense. | ||
So in, in an official report, reporting about something that's actually happened, this, this is why I called that a little silly because comparatively, when they're doing like a report of what happened, like some people got shot and murdered or killed and something, someone blew up, like I can't, whatever, any sort of military thing that's happened and they're trying to report on it. | ||
Let's make it more serious. | ||
Pat and Sam were deployed on a mission in Afghanistan. | ||
Pat fired several rounds after they were startled and saw a weapon. | ||
Sam got upset because they didn't really see a weapon. | ||
Right. | ||
Now you've got to use that report in court. | ||
Right, exactly. | ||
You've got to figure out who was shot and why. | ||
That is my point, thank you. | ||
And there's going to be some arbiter or a court magistrate who's going to be like, what does this mean? | ||
It's saying they both saw the weapon? | ||
No, sir, the they only refers to Sam. | ||
But wait, you said Pat fired because they saw the weapon. | ||
Pat saw the weapon? | ||
Yes, your honor. | ||
Sam didn't really see a weapon. | ||
Exactly. | ||
The they refers to Pat. | ||
I'm sorry, I'm confused, your honor. | ||
Me too. | ||
When we're talking about movies, it's silly. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But you got the military? | ||
Yeah. | ||
How are they gonna organize this? | ||
Exactly. | ||
There was this really funny viral post from It was someone quoted Vox. | ||
Vox.com used someone's preferred pronoun of they in this context of talking about multiple people and a group. | ||
It made literally no sense. | ||
And people were tweeting it like, can anyone decipher this paragraph? | ||
And what they do is the people, you know, the Florbo people will say things like, they can be a singular. | ||
And then all these articles pop up and the dictionary adopts it. | ||
And it's like, look, man, language is used to convey ideas. | ||
Everything I am saying to you right now is giving you an understanding of certain things. | ||
It is language. | ||
If I started talking dog oatmeal spoon, giraffe banana, cruise ship, Joe Biden. | ||
I would call you Joe Biden. | ||
No idea is conveyed. | ||
Imagine if I walked up to somebody and said, oh, Florbo was mad because Florbo didn't want to pay for Florbo Self's Florbo treatments. | ||
People would be like, I have no idea what that means. | ||
Yes, that's the point. | ||
Right, exactly. | ||
If I'm going to make up words and change structure, what's the point of speaking if I'm not conveying any ideas? | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
It has to conform to some sort of grammatical sense, or else the masses that you're mad at for not, you know, for misgendering you, they don't understand because they is plural. | ||
So it doesn't make sense. | ||
So they can be singular. | ||
The word they can be singular. | ||
Right. | ||
In specific situations, yeah. | ||
Right, so if I said, you know, a lawyer walked into my room, they fell down. | ||
A lawyer was leaving my house, they fell down the stairs afterwards. | ||
They is a singular, it's referring to the person because we don't know the gender of the individual. | ||
That makes sense. | ||
Or I think you can use they for certain non-inanimate objects. | ||
So if you said like, a stack of books fell over, they fell to the third page of each book, it was kind of strange. | ||
Or like, I put a bunch of books on the stairs, then they all fell down, using they for inanimate objects. | ||
They use these exceptions. | ||
Wouldn't it be it, also? | ||
They, because it's a group of books. | ||
A group of books. | ||
plural. Right. If I said I put a stack of books on the... I guess you could say a stack is singular, | ||
even though it refers to a group of... you know, if I said I put several books on the stairs, | ||
they all fell down. Then they refers to a plural group of books. Right. Right. So, yeah, they use | ||
these special exemptions to try... you know, to argue that they can use they as a singular. | ||
I actually bring up this point in the tweet, I think I might have it, where I like, here's what I said. | ||
People, let me explain what actually, okay, let's just jump straight down. | ||
People on the right use singular structuring with plurals, but that is not how the left believes a singular they would work. | ||
Pat and Sam are going to the movies. | ||
Pat buys tickets for a horror film because they don't like drama. | ||
Sam gets upset because they really loves drama. | ||
If they was a singular referring... For Sam, if I said, Sam gets upset because she really loves drama, loves would have an S. It would be plural. | ||
Right, I see. | ||
Because I used they, it was love. | ||
Look at this sentence. | ||
Sam gets upset because they really loves drama. | ||
It doesn't sound right. | ||
No, but that's the way you would have to do it to explain. | ||
Otherwise, you could be referring to the group. | ||
Right. | ||
Otherwise, the sentence literally makes no sense. | ||
I said the right is correct. | ||
You'd have to use the singular structure. | ||
Otherwise, you can't understand what is happening in the situation. | ||
Do they both secretly like drama? | ||
Is the first just Pat? | ||
They is gender neutral in select circumstances where gender is unknown. | ||
So anyway, the story is interesting. | ||
I think we've definitely had a conversation about the weirdo pronouns a whole lot. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Assuming this is true, and we have this site from, you know, caf-fac.ca, that looks like their website. | ||
Canadian Armed Forces? | ||
Yeah, I guess. | ||
Armed Forces? | ||
Canadianarmedforces.ca, maybe? | ||
Whatever this is. | ||
How will they actually be able to convey information accurately to their superiors Well, I guess there's a simple thing that needs to be said. | ||
No, not to their superiors. | ||
It specifically said only the superiors referring to their lesser... Right, so they're writing reports that will go to their superiors. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
So if you have a commander or something who's like, here's what happened to all my forces in Afghanistan, submitting it up the chain, they're going to be like, what is this? | ||
I have no idea what happened. | ||
But here's the important thing to consider. | ||
No one takes the Canadian Armed Forces seriously anyway, right? | ||
So, what are we worried about? | ||
Well, yeah, we don't have to worry about it. | ||
Zing! | ||
unidentified
|
Boom! | |
Take that, Canada! | ||
I'm kidding, by the way. | ||
I'm pretty sure Canada is part of, like, our coalition or whatever. | ||
Well, isn't their Air Force, like, uh... | ||
Pretty good. | ||
Tied with some guy in Illinois that has... Oh, is that it? | ||
No, they were both buying from the same place. | ||
The guy who bought 46 fighter jets. | ||
The Canadian Air Force bought like 28 of them from the same person. | ||
Yeah, they were buying from Australian, the used planes. | ||
No, I know, but they have less of an Air Force from the guy in Illinois that has his own Air Force. | ||
I'm just curious. | ||
I'm just making fun of it. | ||
Wow, this is amazing. | ||
Okay, here's what they say. | ||
In 2016, Bill C-16 was passed amending the Canadian Human Rights Act. | ||
It added gender expression to the list of groups that are protected from discrimination, as well as adjusting hate speech and hate crime laws to include protections for gender expression. | ||
While the use of preferred pronouns have been considered a necessary element of the promotion and inclusion of gender diversity, this change by the CAF is the first time that preferred pronouns are being officially discounted in favor of a catch-all gender-neutral pronoun system. | ||
Well, what's gonna end up happening is they're just gonna say the same person's name specifically for every single thing. | ||
So it's just gonna be more work for everybody. | ||
That's actually, that's another solution I said. | ||
Going back to the sentence, Pat and Sam are going to the movies, Pat buys tickets to a horror film because Pat doesn't like drama, Sam gets upset because Sam really loves drama. | ||
You can just get rid of pronouns altogether. | ||
That's kind of what I was thinking. | ||
No more pronouns. | ||
Yeah, so I could say like, Adam went to the store to buy food, Because Adam wanted something to eat for Adams. | ||
For Adam. | ||
Because he wanted something to eat for himself. | ||
I have many clones of myself. | ||
I must maintain their sustenance. | ||
I'm pretty sure most people who have watched it are familiar to a certain degree with the pronoun thing. | ||
Maybe even saw the tweet from me. | ||
I guess the big development is the Canadian Air Force or whatever. | ||
But we also have this. | ||
This is from July of 2019. | ||
Gendered words ban. | ||
U.S. | ||
city's code replaces manpower with human effort. | ||
This wasn't a pronouns thing. | ||
Human music. | ||
Human music. | ||
But this was like, they're trying to change gendered words. | ||
You know, congressperson, fire people, garbage persons. | ||
Yeah, there you go. | ||
I mean, we're all humans, so hu-person. | ||
Garbage human. | ||
Hu-person. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes, indeed. | |
We're just hu-persons now? | ||
Whoop-persons? | ||
Whoop-persons? | ||
A person in a whoop-person? | ||
Like, humans. | ||
Are we not humans? | ||
Are we going to continue to be humans at least? | ||
Not sure. | ||
Because there's man in human. | ||
I don't know. | ||
I mean, we're all humans, right? | ||
I think so. | ||
Last time I checked. | ||
I'd like to hope so. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
Alright, so let's uh we're gonna we're gonna jump over back to the super chats we're getting close to that time so if you haven't already hit that like button and subscribe hit the notification bell and if you want to help out you can share the video we put up segments you you like that was a segment When you come to this channel, you'll see all the segments listed. | ||
On the front page and the community tab, we have the full podcasts listed in their raw form. | ||
But also go to iTunes, Spotify, and give us good ratings and reviews if you happen to find us there, because it boosts us and then, you know, it forces the media to acknowledge that we exist. | ||
That's one of the biggest challenges. | ||
You've got, you know, YouTubers who get tens of millions of views completely disregarded by mainstream press. | ||
And because of that, YouTube can suppress us and they end up just getting away with it. | ||
So it really does help. | ||
So let's, uh, let's read some more of these super chats. | ||
Let's see where we're at. | ||
Daniel Sotelo says, Oh, I read that one already. | ||
Sorry. | ||
Joe Black says, Doctors are our lifeline. | ||
Completely agree. | ||
Marcio Levine, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Mr. Paul R. says, Media always trying to get Trump, Fauci, etc. | ||
in a gotcha moment. | ||
Grr. | ||
Don't they know the American public sees through their BS? | ||
Need poll to see if Soy Jesus loses the beanie. | ||
My choice. | ||
lose the beanie. | ||
Oh, and there's a circle with a line through it. | ||
Whoa. | ||
I didn't wear the beanie on Friday, right? | ||
It was a Friday? | ||
I thought you were wearing it. | ||
Came on halfway through. | ||
No, no, I put it on at the end of the show because throughout the entire show I kept | ||
getting hit up like, why, where, why is this beanie gone? | ||
And then I was just like, I pointed at it and I put it on and then everyone's like, | ||
there's Adam. | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
Where has he been the whole time? | ||
Everyone was confused. | ||
Make sure to follow Adam. | ||
Yeah, follow me. | ||
And me, at Timcast, because you can send story ideas to Adam. | ||
Please do, they really help. | ||
And then he walks up and he's like, look at all these things people sent me, and we're like, that's crazy. | ||
And then we love the stories. | ||
Yeah, someone sent me that picture of the cop being bitten. | ||
Yeah, and we ran with it. | ||
That was our main segment. | ||
There you go. | ||
Ziptie says, is there any truth to the rumors that the World Health Organization wants to go into people's homes and remove family members? | ||
I believe I saw something. | ||
You did? | ||
Yeah. | ||
That was the main dude saying, yep, people are spreading this to their family members. | ||
They have to be separated. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
Cody says, what will it take for you to vote for Trump? | ||
Right now, we're seeing a big push from the left to embrace this overt authoritarianism, and Bill Barr has said, no way, that's kind of freaky. | ||
If it came down to it, and we had the Democratic Party and the media establishment saying, bend the knee to the government overlords, and Donald Trump came out and said, I will do everything in my power to end this lockdown, to protect the American people and preserve freedoms and liberties, I would totally vote for Trump. | ||
If that was what was on the line, and that seems like where we're going. | ||
Also, I must admit, with Joe Biden as the nominee, it is getting scarier than it's ever been. | ||
I agree. | ||
Joe Biden is not running. | ||
He is not running for president. | ||
I was right. | ||
He's never been running for president. | ||
Then he started winning. | ||
And I came out, I was like, I was wrong. | ||
I guess he really was, you know? | ||
No, no, I was wrong about that. | ||
Yeah, I was right the whole time. | ||
He's a placeholder candidate for his VP. | ||
Whoever that may be. | ||
Yep. | ||
Who do you think it's going to be? | ||
No, I don't know. | ||
I don't know if it's gonna be Hillary Clinton. | ||
unidentified
|
That's what I said! | |
What do you mean? | ||
That's what I said! | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I said it too! | |
I said it before you! | ||
Okay, that's fine. | ||
unidentified
|
I'll give you Hillary. | |
I'm kidding. | ||
I'm kidding. | ||
I do not know if it'll be Hillary. | ||
They're saying like Gretchen Whitmer or whatever. | ||
Oh gosh, she's even worse! | ||
When he was on that debate and was like, I'm gonna make a VP woman and I was like, I called it! | ||
So at the debate, Joe Biden said that. | ||
Adam's just sitting back with his eyes half glazed holding a can of like kombucha and he's like, It was whiskey. | ||
Maybe. | ||
gonna be president. It was whiskey. And we were like, yeah, it was whiskey. You're like, | ||
Oh, man. | ||
as soon as Joe Biden says like, so Hillary Clinton will be president. And we are just | ||
unidentified
|
like, maybe, maybe. I don't know. I don't know. Man. Conspiracy. | |
So Joe Biden's scary. | ||
No, he cannot. | ||
can't talk. No, I'm sorry, man. That guy cannot be president. And so I would like the what's | ||
the worst thing about Trump for me is that he wasn't the person I thought like a lot | ||
of these conservative policy positions have never been my cup of tea. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And foreign policy is a big issue. | ||
So when Donald Trump first came out and was talking about all these sweet things | ||
about ending war and stuff, I'm like, heard it a million times. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I didn't vote. | ||
I didn't vote in 2016. | ||
I was like, I don't have anything to do with these people. | ||
So, uh, I think Trump has done a decent job on foreign policy, but not, not what I | ||
would want, but I'm also not a pipe dream kind of guy. | ||
I don't think you're going to get, you know, Obama said, I'm going to bring the troops back. | ||
And then he put more troops over there. | ||
Donald Trump said, I'm going to bring our troops back and then put some more troops over there and then brought some back. | ||
And I'm kind of like, take what you can get, I guess. | ||
So he has said a bunch of really bombastic things that I do not like. | ||
We'll see how things play out later in the year. | ||
But if it comes down to the weird, freaky police locking people up and chasing people down and Bill Barr and Trump and his administration saying, we have to end this, which he's been saying, I'll totally vote for him. | ||
Because it's not even about policy at that point. | ||
It's about the Constitution, our rights as American citizens, and not allowing this ridiculous system. | ||
Like, Trump's talking about a treatment. | ||
Take this medication, you're good. | ||
Everyone else is talking about a vaccine. | ||
I would prefer a treatment. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Not a pharmaceutical company creating a vaccine and then making us all take their shots. | ||
Exactly. | ||
But Trump could be wrong. | ||
So that's not the biggest issue for me. | ||
The biggest issue for me is the people in the media. | ||
So there were some protesters. | ||
Protesting the authoritarian lockdowns. | ||
And I see a bunch of progressives making fun of them. | ||
And I'm like, mmm... I understand why they're protesting. | ||
Because cops are threatening to arrest you for going on a picnic by yourself. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, I'm sorry. | ||
I'm not- I'm gonna be away from that one. | ||
But, uh, we'll move on. | ||
John Harker, thanks for the super chat. | ||
Xerxes says, just joined, so I don't know if anyone already mentioned it, but Soy Jesus, did you see PewDiePie's 7 Vegans, 1 Meat Eater video? | ||
Shows the absolute worst side of vegans. | ||
No, but I know, I've seen crazy vegans and I don't like pushy people in general. | ||
So, I mean, and those vegans are pushy. | ||
I haven't seen this video though. | ||
I don't watch PewDiePie, but yeah, I can imagine. | ||
Let's see, where are we at? | ||
John Harker says, did Amber Heard really poop on Johnny Depp's bed? | ||
I have no idea. | ||
unidentified
|
Huh. | |
That would be a surprise. | ||
That's a good question. | ||
She's not very nice. | ||
Different Gnome says, hey, just joined the stream from work to ask, what happened in Idaho with the Easter Sunday? | ||
Will you cover it tomorrow in one of your shows? | ||
Thanks, Tim and Subverse for being the most trusted news outlet. | ||
Yeah, so that those militia guys were gonna do it. | ||
They did. | ||
Nothing happened. | ||
They had Easter Sunday. | ||
So it's like, that is one of the problems of the news that even I fall subject to. | ||
It's like, I can report like, oh man, these militia guys said we're not gonna back down. | ||
And then they do the event without a hitch. | ||
And then it's like, well, it's not. | ||
I mean, they had Easter Sunday worship, but you know. | ||
But I'll definitely make sure I mention it. | ||
That's important. | ||
I think this will force government to limit budget. | ||
we are many. Indeed. Spaghetti Joe Rogan's powerful meatball says, should taxpayers decide | ||
which of their taxes the government will take, to the point of no taxing? I think this will | ||
force government to limit budget. From a libertarian perspective, your thoughts? Yeah, to a certain | ||
I really like the idea of these voucher systems, where you do have to pay into the government, but then you can choose where to bring your taxes, like what service you want, because that allows competition, but guaranteed access. | ||
But ultimately... I mean, it has to be done correctly, but... | ||
I don't like the idea that I give money to a war machine, you know? | ||
I agree. | ||
I do like that I give money to certain essential services. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
And what can I say? | ||
Exactly. | ||
Big Ben Howard says, Words have meaning, is a social construct. | ||
Triangle, ostra, engine, trance, hippo. | ||
If you didn't understand that, you're oppressing my lived experience. | ||
I knew exactly what you meant. | ||
Joe, thanks for coming to Member. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Bobcat says, Loda is too big for puny pronouns. | ||
You know it. | ||
Gary Richard says, have you heard about the fires in Pripyat? | ||
Blowout soon, fellow stalker. | ||
That's Chernobyl. | ||
It's on fire. | ||
Yeah, it is. | ||
It's getting close. | ||
But apparently this happens all the time, too. | ||
Not all the time, but it happens frequently enough, so. | ||
But everything's, everyone's watching. | ||
Marsha Levine says, it's pronounced Marsha, and thanks, been watching you for a couple years. | ||
Appreciate it, and I got your name right because I saw the words before I read your name. | ||
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
A.B. | ||
Coates says, some languages have obviation, which is where instead of gendered pronouns, they have one pronoun for the thing you mentioned first, and another for the thing you mentioned second. | ||
Let's just call everyone It. | ||
You can call me it. | ||
Bothadiz says, the correct term is people of garbage, bigots. | ||
People of garbage. | ||
Eastshore says, heart goes out to all those affected by the storms. | ||
My hometown is Laurel, Mississippi. | ||
Had several tornadoes touch down. | ||
Yikes, man. | ||
Cybersoul says, Tim, can we get a count of how many demisexuals, pansexuals, and furries died from the virus? | ||
The fate of the Republic depends on it. | ||
We should demand those numbers from the government. | ||
I think all those have stopped existing as soon as the virus came around. | ||
Brett Willett says, Howdy! | ||
Jesus follower and Trump supporter here. | ||
You are my primary and most trustworthy news source. | ||
Thank you and God bless. | ||
Hey, appreciate it. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
Oh, it was one more. | ||
Elusive Gator says, Tim, could you find out what hostage Trump was talking about that was rescued from Guatemala? | ||
Trump mentioned it once. | ||
No follow up. | ||
I will. | ||
I'll look into it. | ||
All right. | ||
We're about ready to wrap up. | ||
Thanks for hanging out, everybody. | ||
Again, we do the show Monday through Friday at 8 p.m. | ||
So we'll be back tomorrow. | ||
Make sure you follow me and Adam. | ||
You can send Adam story ideas. | ||

Yeah, it really does. | ||
If you like us that much, please consider sharing it because it's the only way we're going to get past YouTube's algorithm and it really does hamper everything. | ||
So, you know, we'll do what we can. | ||
I think it's entirely likely that in the next few months, we're going to, we'll be completely purged from everywhere because they want Joe Biden to win, you know, so we'll see what happens. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
I'll leave it there. | ||
Thanks for hanging out, everybody. | ||
We will see you all tomorrow at eight. |
