Welcome to the show, everybody.
tim pool
This is the TimCast IRL podcast, and joining me tonight, as usual, is... What's up, everybody?
adam crigler
Adam Krigler here.
unidentified
Heyo!
tim pool
And we got huge news!
We got a camera!
She's no longer invisible.
adam crigler
Boom!
unidentified
There she is.
tim pool
Sour Patch Liz is visible.
adam crigler
It's official.
The camera's set.
tim pool
I can see her face.
unidentified
Hello, everyone.
adam crigler
I'm ready to go.
tim pool
Now, if you're listening to this on iTunes or something, you still can't see anyone's face, so that's too bad.
adam crigler
But thanks for coming anyway.
tim pool
We got a bunch of stories, actually.
You know, we always have a bunch of stories.
It's hard to know how many we'll actually get to.
But the first one, the most fun, is Trump calling for liberation and being called a fascist for it.
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
I was like, wait, what?
Trump tweets liberate Minnesota, you know, liberate Michigan, and the response from a bunch of these people is like, you fascist!
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
The president calls for giving up executive authority and they call him a fascist?
I don't get it.
I don't even know what's going on.
adam crigler
It doesn't make sense.
tim pool
It's funny.
It's funny.
But a bunch of conservative groups are planning on doing more protests.
We already saw a whole bunch.
So we're going to talk a bit about, you know, government overreach.
Strangely, it's the federal government that's resisting it.
I mean, at least they're saying they are.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
They kind of are.
I mean, Trump's been trying to reopen the economy for a long time, and they've been yelling at him for it.
adam crigler
I almost believe he should just say I'm for impeach- impeaching me.
So that they just- Like, you guys should impeach me, and they'll be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Trump's trying to quit!
tim pool
Don't let him quit!
You- you ran for president!
You gotta finish out your- your term!
And if you get re-elected, that's what they'll do.
They'll do it.
adam crigler
Oh, man.
Yeah.
unidentified
That'd be funny.
tim pool
But, uh, we got a bunch of other stories, too.
And speaking about, you know, government overreach, we actually have a bunch of stories from New York.
It's really frustrating.
Like, they're letting out 1,500 criminals from the jails.
A nurse is getting beat up by muggers.
But, but, but, it's not all bad news.
The NYPD is still policing, detaining a 12-year-old boy for selling candy.
I'm glad they're doing something.
lydia smith
I'm glad they're doing their jobs.
tim pool
Dang kids selling candy.
They always come up to me and they're trying to raise money for their school uniforms.
You know they're not really raising money for school uniforms.
adam crigler
Yeah, they're just trying to make a buck.
Right.
tim pool
So it's like, you know what you do?
You tell them to stop, you shoo them off.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And then when you go out and you see the chick getting mugged, the nurse, you stop the mugging.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And then you don't let them out of jail.
unidentified
But hey, man!
tim pool
This is why I'll never be in politics, because I don't ask me.
But we have a couple other stories.
So there's like some disaster news.
Very creepy.
German zoo is apparently going to be feeding the zoo animals to other zoo animals?
adam crigler
To keep the zoo going.
tim pool
That's crazy.
Wow.
adam crigler
I don't know why zoos are a thing.
tim pool
I don't agree with zoos.
You know that movie, I was just watching it, Snowpiercer?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I wonder if you guys who are listening have watched it.
I love it.
It's a cool concept, but it's kind of silly.
So all the governments of the world release this gas to combat global warming, and it freezes the planet.
Like, up too much.
So there's this crazy guy who made a train that's a closed biome, and so he's basically recycling humans.
adam crigler
All I can think of.
I just want to talk about the conspiracy of that movie.
tim pool
The Willy Wonka thing?
adam crigler
I don't know if anybody knows this, but Snowpiercer supposedly is the next Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sequel.
I don't know if you've seen it.
I actually don't really want to ruin it.
It's too silly.
It's silly, but it's awesome.
tim pool
It's funny.
Because he does say at the end of the movie that... I mean, like, the movie's ten years old.
He does say at the end of the movie, like, that part has gone extinct, and it needs children to operate the finer parts.
It's like, hmm, what does extinct mean?
adam crigler
Oompa Loompas?
tim pool
But no, no, no, but anyway, it's like, the train, the bad guy talks about the balance of the train.
Like, we must only have a certain number of people.
That's what it feels like going out to the zoo.
They're like, to bring balance to the zoo, we must feed the ostrich to the lion, because we're running out of food.
That's crazy.
Dude, I'll tell you what, man.
I think we're about to see the food shortage get bad.
adam crigler
I'm inclined to agree.
tim pool
Because when we went to the store a while ago, there was a lot missing, but still a lot of food.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Apparently now it's substantially worse.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Yeah.
So the last store run apparently was depleted substantially, and we couldn't get a lot of what we wanted.
But who knows?
We'll see.
I mean, they're dumping all this food out.
But I'll tell you what, we gotta talk about Trump demanding liberation.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Fascist.
Trying to liberate people from their governments.
That's what fascists do.
But before we get started, make sure you hop in the super chat if you want us to read your comments.
We don't always get to everybody, but we try our best to get to as many as we can.
Hit the subscribe button, hit the like button, hit the notification bell, and maybe after all of that, YouTube might actually recommend this content to you.
adam crigler
Yes.
tim pool
Yeah, here's hoping.
lydia smith
Worth a shot.
tim pool
Meanwhile, they're putting the mainstream media up on the front page of YouTube, guaranteed.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And then what's funny is they're doing these press releases where they're like, live stream content is up 75%.
It's like, oh, you mean for CBS and CNN?
Because you put them on the front page of your website.
lydia smith
Wow.
tim pool
I'm so surprised that's happening to these people.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And then they report three months behind everybody else.
adam crigler
Yeah, I don't get it.
tim pool
So you know what?
If you see what I see, and if you would seek as I seek, then share this podcast so that, you know, people don't just listen to the mainstream media because they're awful.
adam crigler
I half expected you to put a Guy Fawkes mask on.
tim pool
I love that line.
If you would seek as I seek, then join me by sharing this podcast so that other people can join in.
lydia smith
Yeah, I like that.
tim pool
Yeah, I'll do that more often, huh?
adam crigler
Please do.
tim pool
So I also want to point one thing out before we get started.
Some people have been complaining that the UFO isn't spinning enough.
So I have this here, and we're gonna make it spin for you.
adam crigler
It's not nearly as fun for me.
I kind of like getting up there and like, you know, fiddling with it.
Oh well.
tim pool
Okay, I think I overdid it.
Now it's wobbling and it's probably gonna fall.
adam crigler
There's there's gonna be aliens that are inside.
tim pool
They're just puking on the walls now I'm loving the probable people who are like on iTunes like I have no idea what they're talking about What's spinning are they in the thing like it's the thing spinning.
There's a floating so I have on our table I have this Air duster that I just got and you can use it to spin the levitating UFO and I spun it so hard It started bouncing up and down and then just popped off.
unidentified
Yeah Yeah.
tim pool
So I'll try not to do that.
adam crigler
It's really spinning now.
tim pool
Speaking of spinning, Trump wants to liberate the states.
That has nothing to do with spinning, but you know, here we go.
We're going to talk about the news.
adam crigler
Moving on.
Nice segue.
tim pool
Nice, excellent segue.
So earlier today I saw these tweets from Donald Trump, and it was what he's like, liberate Michigan.
I don't even know what it means.
Liberate Michigan, liberate Virginia, and save your great Second Amendment.
It is under siege.
And liberate Minnesota.
Now, apparently this has caused uproar.
The founder of the Young Turks is shocked, saying, if anyone commits violence against officials in Michigan, Minnesota, or Virginia, real Donald Trump should be impeached again.
I'm not joking.
He clearly incited violence.
He's a deranged madman, and we have to get him out of office before he does more damage.
This is unprecedented.
What?
You know, man.
adam crigler
He really is kind of losing his edge.
tim pool
He lost it.
adam crigler
Yeah, I'm sorry.
You're right.
I gotta say it.
He lost his edge.
lydia smith
He's lost the plot.
adam crigler
Yeah, he fell off.
I used to like the Young Turks.
I used to watch them and be like, you know, this is pretty legit.
tim pool
He's always had weird things going on.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
But they used to be anti-establishment.
Now they're pseudo-anti-establishment.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's like, I heard that he wanted to, like, he was trying to convince his employees to not go into a union.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
It's like, why would you want that?
And then he started complaining of the airline.
tim pool
That's an old video.
That's an old video.
adam crigler
I know, but still, like, when it surfaced, I was like, is this guy for real?
tim pool
Yeah, it's a video of him talking into his phone being like, this airline's not getting me on this flight.
I demand it.
Why would you post that?
Don't you know who I am?
Oh, no.
adam crigler
Oh, no.
tim pool
No, they don't.
You're a YouTuber.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
None of us expect any recognition from regular people.
adam crigler
Right.
If I was on the cover of... It doesn't matter how famous you think you are, you're still just a regular human being.
tim pool
I mean, he's famous, but come on, man.
adam crigler
It doesn't matter.
tim pool
If he was walking... No, no, no.
If he was walking down the street, people are gonna be like, who?
adam crigler
Yeah, who are you?
tim pool
If you walk up to somebody and say, do you know who Cenk Uygur is?
They're gonna be like, what?
adam crigler
I'm sorry, did you just ask me a question?
tim pool
What did you say?
adam crigler
Is that a name?
Is that some food?
tim pool
Cenk Uygur is his name.
They'll be like, oh no, I don't know who that is.
adam crigler
Yeah, no, I don't, never heard that name.
tim pool
It's funny because he likes, he's really got this thing about him where he really brags about the viewership of the Young Turks.
And I'm just like, bro, chill, man.
Could you, like, it's one thing when we rag on other networks for like doing miserably.
Like CNN's ratings are dropping dramatically all the time.
And I try to be fair and say their YouTube ratings are like 300 million in the past month.
Keep in mind, YouTube props them up.
But it's really weird when he, like he tweeted this recently.
There's an article that says Joe Biden's losing the internet.
You know, there's no left-wing YouTube or whatever.
And he was like, what about the Young Turks?
We get way more views.
I'm so angry that the New York Times won't recognize me.
Just do your thing, man.
adam crigler
Sad.
tim pool
Stop complaining.
Anyway.
adam crigler
Yes, exactly.
Do your thing and stop caring.
tim pool
I didn't want to go off on a tangent about the Young Turks, but I do feel like they've kind of like started spiraling.
adam crigler
Yeah, I agree.
tim pool
Because it's like they're chasing the tribe instead of chasing the principal.
But anyway, I wanted to highlight that to show you just how angry And outraged everyone was that Donald Trump tweeted these three things.
I gotta be honest.
You wanna know what I thought?
The first thing I thought when I saw these tweets from Trump?
I thought this.
adam crigler
Huh.
tim pool
That was it.
I saw the tweet, I was like, huh.
The president tweeted again.
You'd think after this many years, you'd be like, huh.
He said it's unprecedented.
Are you kidding me?
I thought it was unprecedented when he tweeted that woman was a horse face.
lydia smith
That was a little unprecedented.
adam crigler
I didn't hear this.
tim pool
He tweeted that Stormy Daniels had a... It was Stormy Daniels, right?
He called her horse face.
The funniest thing about it is that he allegedly slept with her, so it's like... Self-burn!
lydia smith
Those are rare.
tim pool
You know what, man?
If you can't have a sense of humor about these things, what do people think is going to happen?
Like Trump's going to say something stupid and then the world's going to blow up?
lydia smith
I don't know.
adam crigler
Yeah, he really doesn't care what people think.
tim pool
He doesn't care.
adam crigler
No, he clearly doesn't care.
tim pool
He likes to poke them.
Yeah, well he likes to be self-deprecating on purpose.
adam crigler
Yeah, he's poking people and he doesn't care.
tim pool
Yeah, let's get back to it.
Look at this, look at this.
The tweets which marked Trump's most aggressive calls yet for state economies to reopen.
I mean, technically, but what do these tweets mean?
Liberate them from who?
Him?
From the governors?
unidentified
From the coronavirus, duh!
tim pool
I would call these tweets silly.
I don't think they're meant to be literal calls to revolution from the president.
I think he's just rallying a bunch of protesters.
And you know what?
These protesters, we have the story from Willamette Week.
I chose this publication on purpose because they're from Portland, so they're super biased.
But they're like, right-wing protesters are planning Reopen America rallies.
At state capitals in Oregon and Washington and a bunch of other places.
And I imagine these guys with their American flags saw the president tweet this and you know what they said?
adam crigler
There's a tweet that I'm trying to find right now.
Neil deGrasse Tyson said it.
He said, you know, there's two... I wanted to read it, I couldn't find it, but basically what he says is there's two, like, conundrums right now.
And it's like, you know, the first one is... Man, I really want to read it.
Here we go, I just found it.
tim pool
You got it?
adam crigler
Yeah, here we go.
He goes, my gosh, there's so many things that make no sense to this.
tim pool
Neil deGrasse Tyson frequently tweets things that make no sense.
adam crigler
There's so much random stuff I'm seeing that he tweets out, my goodness.
tim pool
Well, you pull it up and I'll reel a bit more of this.
We'll see what's going on.
A group calling itself Liberate Minnesota staged a protest Friday afternoon outside the residence of the state governor, Tim Walz.
Live stream video of the protests showed throngs of people packed closely outside the residence, many waving pro-Trump signs and flags.
Few participants appeared to be wearing masks or other protective gear.
Yeah, they don't care.
adam crigler
Wow, it's been deleted.
tim pool
He deleted the tweet!
adam crigler
The tweet has been deleted.
The one that I was about to read.
unidentified
Why?
tim pool
What was it about?
adam crigler
It was basically him saying, if you don't have dandruff, why do you use dandruff shampoo?
And if the state doesn't have many COVID cases, why aren't we open yet?
tim pool
Right.
The point being that the treatment's working.
adam crigler
Right.
The treatment's working.
Everything's kind of on the decline.
Like, why are we still in lockdown?
He was basically calling it out.
tim pool
Well, he's basically saying we should be locked down.
adam crigler
No, I think, but he's saying... No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I guess it could be perceived either way.
tim pool
The point is... It's to prevent dandruff.
The dandruff thing was a reference to a Head & Shoulders commercial.
adam crigler
Right, right, right.
tim pool
Where the guy is talking to the woman and she sees Head & Shoulders in the bathroom and she goes, Head & Shoulders?
But you don't have dandruff.
Exactly.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
He's using it.
So the point he was trying to make was... Mm, I see.
The reason we don't have a lot of cases is because we're locked down.
And that's a fair point.
adam crigler
It does make sense.
tim pool
So I'm seeing a bunch of people, and this is the weirdest thing to me, they're like... And it's not the biggest group, but there's enough of them, and they're high profile saying, See?
They were projecting 200,000, now with the real number is only, you know, 40,000?
Right.
They were wrong.
It's like, no, no.
No.
The viral tweet right now is that the guy's like, My doctor said I would die if I didn't take this medicine.
Well, I took the medicine and didn't die.
I guess he was wrong.
No, he was right.
However, as much as that's true, the other thing that's really, really mind-numbing to me, because there are even people I know and friends of mine who are tweeting about Dr. Phil.
Like, oh, this guy's not even a real doctor.
He's got a PhD, dude.
He's a clinical psychologist.
He was on Fox talking about the psychology of people and how they're going to get depressed and lonely and it's going to be traumatic.
So, you know, we need to reconsider.
We need to consider opening up these states.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
That's insane.
And so he gets slammed across the board by everybody.
You know what I found?
You know, look, we've got a bunch of states that have locked down.
It's been devastating.
22 million jobless claims.
You've got, you've got Whitmer in Michigan, which is like the most egregious governor.
She's basically like, she did this interview where she goes, everybody, you know, complaining
about these lockdowns, but it's snowing anyway.
So the things about like not being able to go gardening, well, it's going to snow anyway.
adam crigler
Oh my god.
tim pool
I'm like right right.
I love the the Patrick Henry joke It's like the the famous quote from Patrick Henry.
Give me liberty or give me death Unless it snows you know cuz then you don't need well.
adam crigler
It's no living.
I guess I'm all right.
tim pool
No liberty if it's no big deal, right?
Yeah, no liberty for anybody It's no one, you're fine.
But that was another viral tweet from hers.
And a lot of people think she's just trying to get press attention.
Positive or negative.
So that she can get that VP ticket or whatever.
I don't know, whatever.
Some people are thinking that she's like lighting herself on fire because by doing this weird stuff.
adam crigler
That's what I think.
tim pool
People are pissed.
adam crigler
I would be.
tim pool
So we had somebody comment in the super chat about this the other day about not being able to buy seeds.
You can buy seeds.
But the law that the executive order she signed or whatever said that certain stores over a certain size, like Walmart and stuff, had to close most of these sections, including gardening and whatever.
adam crigler
Yeah, that does make sense.
tim pool
So that meant you couldn't buy seeds.
But you could still go to some places and buy seeds.
I'm sure, you know, I don't know if Walmart wouldn't sound to you.
But then she actually made the point that you couldn't go gardening because of the order she signed.
So, you know, okay, sure you can buy the seeds, but you can't go and buy gardening supplies.
That's the weirdest thing ever.
This is the problem with government overreach.
They think they know what is essential and what isn't.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
And they don't.
The example I gave, what if, I don't know, a pipe burst in your house?
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And you need some of that good ol' Flex Tape.
You know Flex Tape?
That commercial?
adam crigler
I love that, that's great.
tim pool
Where the guy slaps the thing, boom!
adam crigler
It really does work wonders.
tim pool
Boom, Flex Tape.
adam crigler
That stuff's awesome.
tim pool
Well, what if they close down the hardware section saying, nobody needs this.
And you're like, I've got a water main break in my house, and I need something.
Flex tape will do the job.
And they're like, sorry, section's closed.
That's essential, man.
Your house floods, you become homeless, what do you do?
They think they know, they don't.
I'm like, they said like the hardware section was shut down, flooring and stuff.
Like, what if a hole forms in your floor?
Like, you know, I don't know, some kid drops a bag of bowling balls.
I don't know what kids are doing these days.
And they got a hole in your floor.
So you try to go to Home Depot and they're like, first of all, you can't come without a mask and you gotta go get a mask.
And that's fun, I guess.
adam crigler
I mean, where do you buy masks other than Home Depot?
That's where I would be like, where do I get a mask?
Well, I guess I would go to Home Depot and get a mask.
tim pool
That was actually something that happened to us when we went to Home Depot.
adam crigler
But if you didn't have a mask, what would you do?
Just like pick your shirt up?
tim pool
No, you can't.
So we had to like wrap a shirt around our face.
But I was like, we were there, they were like, you can't come without a mask.
I was like, but you guys sell the masks.
Where do I go to get a mask?
adam crigler
Did they actually have masks to buy?
tim pool
Oh, I don't know.
I was like, whatever, man.
I just wrapped a shirt around my face.
It was tight with a shoelace.
And they were like, that's fine.
But yeah, that's the point.
The reason authoritarianism doesn't work, it's very, very simple.
One person does not know everything and never will.
lydia smith
One thing people do know, each person knows, Lydia Cam.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Lydia Cam.
lydia smith
If somebody is an individual, then they're going to make the right choice for themselves.
That's who it should be.
adam crigler
For themselves.
tim pool
No, they're not.
lydia smith
Oh, they're not.
tim pool
No, they're not.
No, they're not.
Well, no.
adam crigler
I mean, it would definitely be biased towards what they want.
tim pool
Right.
That's the better way to put it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
lydia smith
They would make the right choice for themselves.
tim pool
When a bunch of people are riding around on rascals in a Walmart ordering a gallon of Coke with their, you know, double cheese, extra pepperoni pizza.
lydia smith
Hey, man, I know.
tim pool
There are serious problems, but hey, I'll tell you what.
There's a bias towards what they actually need to function.
lydia smith
If your kid dropped the bowling balls in your floor, you're gonna know that you need the flex tape.
unidentified
Well, you're gonna need wood to fix the hole in the floor.
tim pool
If the kid threw a bowling ball at the water pipe and it broke, then... What normally breaks water mains?
I don't know.
lydia smith
Freezing.
tim pool
Oh, your kid spilled the liquid nitrogen.
And then a bowling ball.
adam crigler
There's some weird people in this house.
tim pool
I don't know what kids do these days.
I see the YouTube videos where they're spraying everybody with liquid nitrogen or whatever it is.
lydia smith
That sounds dangerous.
tim pool
Oh no, you know what they do?
It actually would make more sense if they were using like a torch to light a nickel ball.
You ever see those videos?
adam crigler
Or batteries.
tim pool
No, the kid got the hydraulic press.
Okay.
lydia smith
Oh gosh.
tim pool
All these are in YouTube channels.
adam crigler
You know what?
Lucky for you, I do know how to fix that.
tim pool
So, we are being silly, but I think the point I was going to make about the economic shutdown, it is true that if someone says, you took your medicine, you got better.
We shut everything down, we didn't get hit as hard.
But now we need to start reopening the economies.
The funny thing, the reason I brought up Dr. Phil in this one is because I see all these people yelling at him.
Andrew Cuomo said the exact same thing.
I'm just so sick of it, man.
When Andrew Cuomo says it, it's law.
It's the word of the Lord.
adam crigler
It's like, oh man, Andrew Cuomo, he should be president.
I hear that all the time.
tim pool
Alisson Milano called him America's president.
adam crigler
He's saying the same thing as the president.
tim pool
Yes.
And Dr. Phil.
adam crigler
But everyone's yelling at him.
And this whole Dr. Phil thing is so stupid.
He's not an MD.
It's like, yeah, his comment was about the psychological health of the country.
And that's what he's a doctor at.
tim pool
Facts don't matter!
Facts don't matter!
adam crigler
I don't get it.
lydia smith
I don't get it either.
tim pool
I mean, no, I think we all do get it.
I think we say I don't get it as kind of like a colloquial frustration.
lydia smith
Yes.
adam crigler
You're right.
tim pool
But we do get it.
These people don't know.
They don't care.
It's just a bunch of stooges, like, trying to fit in.
It's like a bunch of... You know what you could do?
I'd be willing to bet.
You could hire a bunch of people to do something really, really weird.
Like, you know, just dance randomly in a spot.
And random people would join in.
They'd be like, oh, look at me!
adam crigler
Go on.
tim pool
And like go in the circle.
adam crigler
I like where your head's at.
tim pool
Maybe we should do something like this, like a social experiment.
adam crigler
A tin cast IRL dance?
tim pool
A social experiment.
lydia smith
No.
tim pool
Where we prove that you can trick people into doing ridiculous things or believing ridiculous things by surrounding them by enough people who are saying or doing the same thing.
lydia smith
Yeah.
unidentified
That's it!
adam crigler
There's actually a couple, I keep talking about this, a hundred humans.
The show is kind of silly and some of the experiments they do are a little biased the way they do it so it kind of annoys me but sometimes it's really cool and they do this one where they have a hundred people stand in like a grid and they take half of them away and then they teach the other half how to do a dance.
and then they bring the other half back and they're like all right everybody we're time to do the dance and they were seeing how many of the people that weren't there started doing the dance and all of them started were like totally did i ever tell you dang all of them are doing it i told you guys the the antifa story right when they didn't recognize me i think so i probably did in germany no no no no this one's in new york okay i don't know this one I've told it often, so I'll be quick with it.
tim pool
I mean, maybe there's a lot of people who aren't familiar, but Mike Cernovich was speaking at Columbia University in New York, so I decided to go check it out.
And I've actually spoken there, too.
I was invited to, like, PhD programs at Columbia several times.
So I'm like, I'll go bring my camera, and I'll film stuff.
So I'm in this lobby with, you know, I don't know, a hundred protesters, and they're all yelling, you know, Mike Cernovich, oh, we hate the guy, or whatever.
And I'm just standing there like my eyes are half closed, glazed over, like it's boring, whatever.
When all of a sudden someone yells, Tim Pool is alt-right or something like that.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And they all start looking around confused because nobody knows who I am.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So you know what I did?
I started looking around confused too.
Like, oh gee, where's this guy?
adam crigler
Who's this guy?
tim pool
Who's this guy?
They couldn't figure it out.
adam crigler
Good moves.
tim pool
And so they all start, the guy points towards me and everyone looks, so I turn with the camera and look too.
Like, I get it dude.
You don't want to single yourself out to people who don't know what's going on.
So I'm like, oh, who are they talking about?
And the guy, he puts his hand over, he's like, this guy!
No one knows what's happening and all of a sudden some random dude starts yelling, walks up to some journalist on the other side of the room, an old guy wearing a vest with a camera, and he starts yelling at him, it's you!
You people are the problem!
And everyone's like confused and the journalist like points himself like, me?
And I'm like, I'm filming.
And then finally the guy comes up and he's like, this is Tim Pool.
And then they all turn around and start yelling at me.
And I was laughing.
I'm like, these people have no idea who I am.
adam crigler
They have no idea.
tim pool
They're just saying whatever they were told to say.
That's how messed up these people are.
So, you know, when it comes to Jank Uygur of the Young Turks calling Trump a fascist when Trump says to actually relinquish government power.
You know what, man?
I'm just trying to make sense of everything.
adam crigler
And, you know, he's had this power for a long while now and really hasn't used it.
They're mad he won't.
I know.
It's like if he got the power and instantly started using it, they would have flipped out.
tim pool
Totally.
adam crigler
They would have flipped and been like, he's crazy!
He's finally done it!
He's going off the rails!
But then he was like, you know, he hasn't really, has he even used it once?
tim pool
I think he used it once.
adam crigler
One time.
To make the masks, right?
tim pool
To make three, um, keep their masks here and bring the ones from overseas back here.
adam crigler
Right, right.
And that's like, you know what?
That makes sense.
tim pool
Not even mad.
Yeah, in various areas, typically like our law enforcement.
You know what the craziest thing to me is?
And the dude's clearly not a fascist. I mean look the United States has a United States has authoritarianism
You know in various respects through the whole government.
Yeah, yeah in various areas typically like our law enforcement
You're the craziest thing to me is I in the early 2010s ones.
The entirety of the left was mistrusting of the intelligence agencies, CIA and the FBI and the NSA.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
You had the Edward Snowden leaks, you know, several years back.
And then something strange happened.
The intelligence agencies started going up against Trump and all of a sudden they were heroes and everyone loved
them.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
But here's the problem I have with people like Cenk Uygur.
here.
He's a progressive.
He's a Bernie Sanders guy, right?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
He's not really.
The actual progressives have no problem calling out the intelligence agencies, calling out Russiagate.
Glenn Greenwald is a good example.
I don't know.
He's the Intercept.
He's the guy who released the NSA documents.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
He ragged on all of the media forever, the whole time.
And he hates Trump.
But he knows the media is full of it.
He knows the intelligence agencies are full of it.
So I disagree with him on certain things, but he's being honest about the press and the intelligence agencies.
But people like Cenk Uygur, who immediately come out and say Trump is a fascist and we believe all these things, the media is lying.
And then the media lies about him to try and stop him from running for Congress.
Yeah, they smeared him, all these awful things.
And then he just keeps toeing the line.
He's like a fake progressive.
He says it's progressive, he says it's for Bernie, and then he really just agrees with whatever the mainstream media says, even though we know that they're full of it.
Most of the time.
adam crigler
It's because it works.
tim pool
Oh, bling bling, man.
adam crigler
That's why.
tim pool
I mean, look, there's no better- I mean, you can see it.
adam crigler
When he talks, he loves it.
He's like, I love this.
tim pool
When he films himself?
adam crigler
You're listening to me right now.
I love it.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
And then it just kind of, it's noticeable after a while.
tim pool
When he films himself, don't you know I can't be on this plane?
adam crigler
When he's at the airplane and he's like, can you believe they're not letting me, me of all people, on this plane?
It's like, are you seriously going there, dude?
Like, get out of here.
I no longer care about you.
It was already pretty slim anyway.
tim pool
When someone tries claiming that by giving up government authority or demanding an end to government authority that they're a fascist, I'm just going to give you a look.
adam crigler
Do you know what the word fascist means?
I just look over there and do you know what the word fascist means clearly?
tim pool
That's the first thing I'd ask them. Yeah, so I I mean the best example of the dude clearly not being legit
Is that he union busted his own company?
adam crigler
I know.
tim pool
It's the craziest thing.
You know what Shane Smith of Vice said when his employees were unionizing?
adam crigler
What?
tim pool
He's like, hey, great, cool.
Best of luck.
adam crigler
That's awesome.
tim pool
He was like, I'm excited for it.
Sounds awesome.
adam crigler
That should be.
tim pool
And he's... I don't want to speak for him because I've never actually asked him about his political leanings, but people usually refer to him as more like a libertarian guy.
Not like a hardcore right libertarian, but very capitalist libertarian.
You'd think, if you took Vice, which is just cutthroat capitalist... I mean, that's what the company's notorious for.
I mean, they eventually got woke.
You took that guy and you took Cenk Uygur and asked, which one would Union bust?
You'd think people would be like, oh, the billionaire guy who's got this massive company that does all these crazy clickbait documentaries.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Nope.
Actually, he supported the Union, and then they eventually unionized.
And Cenk apparently yelled at some dude, threw papers on the ground and started yelling, fired the guy.
adam crigler
Seriously?
tim pool
Fired the guy.
adam crigler
Oh, man.
tim pool
Claimed it was for something else.
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
Yeah.
This dude's a fake progressive.
He's a capitalist all the way.
It's the same thing we saw with Mike.com, which I talked about a couple days ago.
They were, you know, they're capitalists.
Blessed their hearts.
Wanted to make some money.
Made some far-left content to manipulate these people.
You know what it is, man?
If you try and be honest, you got a challenge.
If you don't believe the ends justify the means, and so you're having a real conversation with someone and you're unwilling to lie, that's a tough sell.
Now, if you're willing to lie, you can sell anything.
adam crigler
Yeah, I guess.
It's that simple.
If you want to sell something.
tim pool
Well, they do.
They want to sell ads.
So they need those eyeballs.
adam crigler
So they're not being honest then.
tim pool
Combine what we just talked about with all those people dancing.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
With people like Cenk Uygur.
And what do you get?
They find a crowd of people, they put a few people in there to start yelling things like, we love Bernie!
And then everyone else says, oh yeah, me too, yeah!
And then just look over here everybody, you wanna fit in?
Watch this!
And they play the commercial and they make money.
And then when their staff is like, hey, we'd like to, uh, hey, his staff goes, we agree with you.
We'd like to unionize too.
He goes, what?
Not me!
Throws his papers down.
I'm a little biased though, because Cenk yelled at me.
I don't know if you guys are at Politicon.
adam crigler
Please tell me.
tim pool
So there was this, uh, this paper that came out that was totally fake news.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Arguing that there was a group called the Alternative Influence Network.
And they put me right in the middle of this big conspiracy crime web of all these lines connected to each other.
The whole thing was fake.
adam crigler
That's kind of fun, though.
tim pool
I mean, it's insane, and it's been detrimental.
It's probably the reason why my YouTube channel is blacklisted from Google.
Because many of the people on that list immediately got blacklisted.
The lower, lesser-known personalities, the higher profile ones, like Joe Rogan, they didn't touch.
But so this thing comes out, They put me in the middle.
There's a guy named Chris Raygun.
You know who he is?
YouTube comedian?
adam crigler
He does... I don't think so.
tim pool
He's a YouTuber.
He does videos with like a little toy llama and he makes jokes and he sometimes talks politics.
adam crigler
No, I don't.
tim pool
But it's just he plays video games and he hangs out with his friends and it's like silly stuff.
adam crigler
Sounds like my kind of guy.
tim pool
They claimed that he had collaborated with a guy named Richard Spencer, one of the like most well-known.
adam crigler
Sounds familiar.
tim pool
He's like the guy who coined alt-right, popularized it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Very prominent white nationalist.
adam crigler
I think I can envision his face.
tim pool
It's ridiculous that they would claim these guys had ever done anything together.
And they did.
And they used manipulative means.
And they ran with it.
And so this story comes out, and the Young Turks, because they hate Dave Rubin, Dave Rubin used to be on the Young Turks, So they hate him, and they ran a smear of him, and they used this as proof that Dave was part of a nefarious group of people.
And I saw the thumbnail, and sure enough, there's my name right in the middle.
And I'm watching, I'm like, you gotta put my name right in the middle of the screen.
lydia smith
You're the ringleader?
tim pool
So I sent him a message, because I know Anna and Cenk, and I've, you know, I've been on their show a couple times, and I asked them, I was like, hey, you know, how are things going?
just wanna let you know like this is not true and you guys are doing this thing
Yeah.
about Dave I don't know anything about your criticism of Dave or
anything like that but I'm just wondering if you'd be willing to leave my name out of
whatever you guys are doing
yeah they ignored me so when I was at Politicon in LA I was up in this like media area and I saw Cenk
He was talking to somebody, and I'm like, oh, it's Cenk.
You know, I've talked to him before.
I talked to him at VidCon a couple years ago.
He shook my hand and said, how's it going, man?
Good to see you again.
And I saw him, and I was like, hey, Cenk, do you have a quick second?
I want to ask you something.
He goes, no, no, I don't have any time, you know.
And I was like, no, this is serious, man.
You guys ran a story.
It was fake news, and it smeared me.
And then he just snapped.
He's like, what the f- you're talking about?
You know, you're a Trump supporter.
What is this?
And he just went off on me and started snapping.
And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, dude, what?
adam crigler
Oh my god.
tim pool
It was the craziest thing.
I was like, I didn't say anything.
And then we went at it for a little bit.
And I was like, why are you yelling at me?
What's happening right now?
And then finally I was like, I was like, dude, I have no idea what you're talking about.
He started bringing up like my criticism of Antifa.
And he's like, I don't see you complaining about Trump.
And I'm like, what does that have to do with people being violent in the streets?
And he was like, okay, fine, whatever.
And I was like, dude, all I was going to ask you is that you guys ran a hit on Dave and you put my name on it.
I'm just asking you not to do that.
And he goes, fine.
Get any points like his assistant, get his email.
We'll figure it out.
And I'm like, nah, nah, nah.
So then this BBC crew filmed the whole thing.
adam crigler
Oh, they were in the room, filming.
tim pool
It was a hallway.
And so the BBC crew followed him in.
unidentified
Sparks fly between Tim Pool and Cenk Uygur.
tim pool
I mean, barely sparks for me, the dude was just screaming at me.
But the BBC guys went in, and this is what I was told, I don't know exactly what happened, but they asked, they said, hey, we filmed that whole thing, you know, for, you know, posterity or whatever, for, you know, journalism, we want to make sure you have a chance to comment.
And they basically said, GTFO or else.
And so they came out and they talked to me and they were like, we filmed the whole thing.
They wouldn't give us a comment.
They actually kicked us out.
Yeah.
lydia smith
That sounds right.
tim pool
Sounds about right?
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
So, look man.
Take that story.
I don't know what he was yelling about.
I don't know why he was mad.
He just snapped on me.
I never really talked to the guy.
He got triggered or something.
You want to run fake news, you know, and just take, without fact-checking, some story?
adam crigler
That seems to be the mainstream media's go-to nowadays.
tim pool
But they're not even mainstream.
adam crigler
I know, I'm generalizing.
Most of the media does that now.
tim pool
You wanna know what's funny, man?
Yeah, I do.
I'm gonna go there.
I really, really do.
I'm gonna go there.
I wouldn't normally say... Really?
Yeah, it's what he's doing right now on Twitter.
He's like, let me see if I can find this tweet he did.
He's all mad because they said, let me find this tweet.
It's a story saying Joe Biden is losing the internet.
Here we go.
Check this out.
He said, I'm so tired of MSM being oblivious to what happens on YouTube and then writing
think pieces about how dominant right wing is. The Young Turks has more views than top five
right wing channels combined on YouTube. Democrats aren't dominant, but progressives are. All right.
The Young Turks.
adam crigler
You're so cool, Zank.
tim pool
I know, right?
So cool.
So they have a network.
And I think it's fair to say if you combine the views of all their network, I think they get like 50 million views.
adam crigler
That's a lot.
lydia smith
That is a lot, yeah.
tim pool
He says the top five right-wing channels combined on YouTube, Steven Crowder gets like 40 million.
lydia smith
Dude, the Daily Wire gets easily a million.
adam crigler
Yeah, well, he didn't put those on there.
tim pool
A million what, though?
adam crigler
Then this wouldn't be true.
tim pool
So 40 views in a month.
So I don't know exactly what the Young Turks get on Google, but let me do this.
adam crigler
Wait, we were talking about the governor's abusing power, right?
tim pool
Yeah, we forgot that a long time ago.
unidentified
Alright, check this out.
tim pool
So, the Young Turks main channel with 4.7 million viewers gets 34.344 million views.
No, okay.
They get about a million, 1.3 million per day.
adam crigler
Watch out, Young Turks.
We're coming for you.
unidentified
No.
tim pool
I'm not coming for anybody.
adam crigler
No.
tim pool
But if you want to come out and complain and smack talk and talk about how big you are when it's not even true, then you're the biggest.
adam crigler
It's like, come on.
tim pool
So they have a network.
I think it's fair to point out.
If you combine all their channels, they probably get many more millions.
But they got 4.7 million subscribers on their channel, and they're getting 34 million.
Let's see if I can pull up Steven Crowder.
lydia smith
I'd be curious about the Daily Wire, too, then, in that context, as like a combined.
adam crigler
Crowder's cool.
I just started following him, I don't know, a month ago, and he's got, he's a funny dude.
lydia smith
He is a funny dude.
tim pool
Yeah, he's a funny guy.
Funny YouTube.
Wow, this takes a really long time because of, here we go.
Steven Crowder's got 25.865 with 4.4 million.
So he's almost got them by himself.
He's down about a third or so.
adam crigler
I know, but by himself.
tim pool
Well, I'll tell you what.
I've got 600,000 subs, not 4.7 million, and I get 27-28 million views on my TimCast news channel.
adam crigler
That's because you know why that is?
Quality, right there.
tim pool
I don't know or care.
adam crigler
Quality, this guy, quality.
That's alright, I'll say it.
tim pool
I look at all the channels we have.
So I've got four channels.
Three of them are me hosting content by myself.
adam crigler
Whoa, whoa, you're bordering a line of talking about how many viewers you got.
tim pool
I'm totally gonna do it.
I said I'm gonna go there.
adam crigler
Alright, go for it.
tim pool
Because I want to make a point.
adam crigler
I know, I'm just poking at you.
tim pool
This is why you don't go around bragging about how big your viewership is.
Because the Young Turks puts up like 15 videos per day on their channel, and they get 34 million.
I put five videos, a third of the videos, and I get 65, 66% of the views they get.
So hey, if I doubled up, you know, put five more videos up, then I'd be getting more than them, with only two thirds of the content.
Better yet, I put up a total of six videos per day.
If you include my main channel, I'm getting like 42 million views per month.
So I'm getting more than them with less than half of the amount of content produced.
adam crigler
Quality.
tim pool
I don't care about the reason.
I'm not going to go around bringing this up being like, Tim Foole gets all these views!
Get me on this airplane!
That's the issue.
lydia smith
You don't record yourself yelling at airplane staff.
tim pool
Clearly it's gone to his head.
The dude runs a business.
It's successful enough.
He doesn't want his staff to unionize.
He's pretending he's progressive.
I think it's funny when they're like, Tim Pool pretends to be on the left.
I'm like, I don't care what you think of me.
I handle my life the way I handle my life.
If you've got a problem with someone pretending to be on the left, go talk to the dude who just union busted his own company.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
Well, we somehow got off of the governor's, uh... Yeah, I heard about that union busting thing before I saw that airplane video, and I was like, that is ridiculous.
That's what Walmart's trying to do to their employees, and it's like, man, this is the worst.
Like, unions are good.
tim pool
They tried claiming it was a smear campaign from his Democratic opponent to make him look bad during the campaign or something like that.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Something like that, you know.
lydia smith
Was it like eight years old?
adam crigler
Yeah, whatever.
tim pool
No, no, the union busting.
unidentified
Uh-oh.
tim pool
Yeah, he was like, the people coming out smearing him were like tied to his opponent or whatever.
And I'm like, yeah, probably.
That's the Democratic Party.
Sounds about right.
I mean, that's politics in general.
Everyone does that.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Tell me again about how you're the outside anti-establishment character who's just parroting everything they say.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You know what, man?
There's a media establishment that he tries to be a part of.
That's what's really like annoying about it.
He goes around bragging about his viewership.
You know what he's doing?
He's going to the media and being like, can I be in your club?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I get a bunch of views too.
Why won't you write about me?
Yeah.
adam crigler
It's like.
You're so right, that's true.
tim pool
That's what he's doing.
lydia smith
So cringy.
tim pool
It's funny.
adam crigler
You know man.
tim pool
Honestly it's.
I feel bad.
I got some advice for everybody when it comes to YouTube.
When it comes to podcasting, just don't, like just stop pointing at other people.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And start doing your thing.
adam crigler
Yes.
You know how many people... Do your own thing.
unidentified
I love that.
tim pool
You know how many people try to get me in drama with other people?
I get emails all the time.
They're like, dude, did you see this guy?
I'm like, I don't care.
lydia smith
Don't care.
adam crigler
It's spilling on me.
unidentified
People are hitting me up like, yo, Tim just did this and I am so upset.
adam crigler
I'm just like, keep moving.
unidentified
Don't leave.
Boop, boop, boop.
adam crigler
No, I won't delete it.
lydia smith
I'm not the person for you.
adam crigler
That's not what I'm looking for.
That's not what I'm out there for.
tim pool
If you want reality TV, you gotta get it somewhere else.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
It's not gonna be here.
I mean, actually, TimCast IRL is literally the more personal, like, tongue stories.
This is reality, baby.
adam crigler
Hey, welcome to our reality.
lydia smith
Yeah, it's weird.
tim pool
But I'm, you know, there's a ton of people who, like, make videos about me and stuff, and I've had a ton of people try to get me to do live shows and debates and stuff, talk about my family or whatever.
And I'm like, why is that relevant to anyone else's life?
adam crigler
Right, it's not.
tim pool
It wouldn't fulfill me either.
If I had two choices, quit or do reality TV, I'd be like, I'm gonna go to the woods, man.
Build a little hut.
My own business.
adam crigler
Go whittle some sticks.
tim pool
But here's the advice.
I'm adding to what I said before, focus on yourself.
You're not going to succeed crossing your fingers that someone else is going to interview you.
That someone else is going to debate you.
You can't send a nasty message to someone hoping that that's going to get you attention.
Some people take the bait.
It's not worth it.
If you want to succeed, the secret is a combination of first, hard work.
Second, you've got to figure it out.
You've got to have that knowledge.
You've got to find that opportunity.
And lastly, a little bit of luck.
Right place, right time, right move.
But I like to discount the luck thing.
adam crigler
It does.
Well, at the same time, though, I am the perfect example of luck.
I happen to know somebody.
tim pool
That's not luck.
adam crigler
It's not?
tim pool
That's what I was going to say.
It's not luck.
adam crigler
How is that not luck?
I mean, I have known you for a long time.
tim pool
Exactly.
adam crigler
It's not luck.
Yeah, but, you know, you could have hit up a couple of people, I'm sure.
You could have said no.
I could have said no, yeah, but how could I not?
tim pool
Chance?
adam crigler
I love this.
I love you guys.
lydia smith
It's the best.
tim pool
Chance favors the prepared.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Okay.
tim pool
The luck that you encounter as a result of the decisions you made.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Is it preparedness?
tim pool
Is it like... It's preparedness.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
It's like getting yourself, you know, knowledgeable about things.
tim pool
I mean... Also helps a lot.
adam crigler
Yeah, I guess.
tim pool
We've known each other for a long time.
We tried doing a show before.
I wanted to do this van thing.
It didn't work out so much.
I hit you up instead and you were available.
You said, let's do it.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
But we had tried before.
So it's, I wouldn't call it luck.
adam crigler
I am pretty lucky though.
I have had a blessed life, man.
tim pool
I disagree.
adam crigler
Dude, I'm a lucky person.
I love it.
I'm so grateful for the opportunities I've had.
It's good.
I feel lucky to be here.
Nothing you say can change that.
tim pool
You look at the comments about you, and people are like, oh at first I didn't know I felt about Soy Jesus, now I'm seeing like he's actually Soy Chad or whatever, or like he just went full MAGA.
The fact is, first comes hard work above everything else.
Second is the knowledge.
The ability to do something.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
So you have clearly articulated thoughts on a bunch of different things.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You're confident on camera.
You're able to speak English well.
I'll tell you what, man.
You might not recognize it because you're like, this is easy.
I'm just talking.
No, I've done interviews with people and it's like, they stop talking immediately.
They can't do it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
All right.
tim pool
So it really is about, it's a combination of factors.
Ultimately though, I think it's hard work.
Luck is real.
You know, and the way I would describe luck is just like sometimes opportunity comes along for some people.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But more importantly, luck is a fraction of a fraction of success.
adam crigler
It's true.
I will admit that.
tim pool
Right place, right time.
Sure.
adam crigler
Good point.
tim pool
But I'll put it this way.
adam crigler
You also got to commit.
You got to do the work.
tim pool
Let's put it this way.
adam crigler
Go ahead.
tim pool
You go to a 7-Eleven and you find a dollar in your pocket.
You're like, oh man, I got an extra dollar.
And the clerk looks you in the eye and says, hey buddy, you should buy this lottery ticket.
And you go, nah.
And you walk away.
And that lottery ticket was a winning number.
You had the money.
You were prepared.
You were given the opportunity.
You rejected it.
It's not luck that you chose not to take it.
Maybe you're happy with the dollar.
Maybe you would've chosen to buy and said, wow, I'm so lucky.
Well, tons of people have thrown away lotto tickets only for someone to find it later and be like, it's a winner.
And then they try and get it back, like, no, it was mine!
So, I'll tell you what.
My advice, you wanna do a show, you wanna do a podcast, just start doing it.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Seriously.
Everybody's like, man, I can't- Do your own thing.
You wanna know how many times I've gotten messages from people asking me to connect them with Joe Rogan?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Dude, no way.
That is the most inappropriate thing ever.
You think I'm going to message that guy and be like, yo, this guy randomly texted me and said he wants to get out of here?
adam crigler
Hey, this random person just hit me up and wants to get to know you.
tim pool
Oh yeah, that'll work.
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
I try to be nice.
adam crigler
By the way, next time you talk to him, put in a good word, eh?
tim pool
Right.
I try to be nice and I'm like, look, man, that's not how it works.
adam crigler
Yeah, I know.
tim pool
Like, I'll tell you what.
If you actually got somebody, I don't know what Joe's reaction would be to somebody messaging him like, here's a random person you should interview.
But I would imagine many people, you would hurt your chances of ever doing anything with that show by asking a random person to interview you.
There are some things that make sense, and there are some things that don't.
You know, like, for me, it was eight years ago.
No, it was nine years ago.
Some people were tweeting at Joe to have me on the show, and then Joe responded.
That's about it.
And then he canceled on me after I flew to LA.
And then the next year, he did the same thing.
And then a few years later, he apologized.
He's a cool dude.
adam crigler
But then you were on the show, and it was an awesome show.
tim pool
And it was all accidental.
I recorded a segment about what happened with him and Jack Dorsey, and I kind of broke down a bunch of the things that I thought were wrong with it, and I said, you know, I think we're slightly better off for him having done the interview, but I don't think we got anything really, you know, out of it.
And he copyright claimed it, automatically.
And so I'm looking at my YouTube and it's like, copyright claim from this company.
And I'm like, wait, what?
And then I look and I'm like, wait, Joe, because I had a screenshot of the podcast.
So I DM'd him cause he started following me after he was like, yo, I'm sorry about, you know, canceling you before.
And then I was like, could you release this?
Cause like, this is like you taking my ad money.
He was like, sorry.
Sorry about that, it's automatic.
It happens.
adam crigler
You know, I want to add one thing to our conversation we were just having about that opportunity.
When that teller comes to you and says, I mean, obviously I'm just using your example, and says, hey, this is a winning lotto ticket.
It's only a dollar.
You should take this opportunity.
When that opportunity comes along, like when Tim hit me up and said, hey, you want to do this show?
I didn't hesitate.
I said, absolutely, I do.
I want to do that.
That sounds awesome.
You knew what you needed.
And I took the ticket.
You know, and I want, and that's, that's really the key.
It's like, is it luck or is it just finding the right opportunity?
And that those opportunities present themselves when you do the research, when you are knowledgeable and you are doing the work, when you, when you start your podcast and you're just continuing doing it, those opportunities just start appearing.
tim pool
But here's the important point, man.
Me hitting you up wasn't a lot of ticket.
You've done tons of camera work.
You had a career on camera.
adam crigler
It's obviously much more than a lot of ticket.
A lot of ticket, it really... I don't even like that example.
I was just using your example.
tim pool
Right, right, right.
adam crigler
Because it involves gambling.
That's not really part of it.
tim pool
If I needed to get my deck fixed and I called a carpenter I knew, it's not luck.
It's like, I know a carpenter.
Hey, I need someone to fix this.
This wood broke.
adam crigler
Yeah, I'm right here.
tim pool
Yeah, so I'm like, I need somebody who's comfortable, confident on camera, knows games and pop culture stuff.
adam crigler
No, that's not a joke about the soy Jesus thing.
I am actually a carpenter.
unidentified
He is, yes.
Oh my gosh, it's true.
tim pool
Well, there you go.
adam crigler
Love it.
tim pool
So here's what we should do.
Because we were actually talking about overreach, government overreach, and then I kind of just went off on the Young Turks.
lydia smith
And he's talking about liberating himself.
tim pool
I hate doing this.
I gotta be honest.
I really don't like talking about, say, like the Young Turks or whatever.
Because, you know, it's like I mentioned, he brags about his viewership and how important he is.
Like, man, it's a bad look.
You know, it's funny.
He's like, this is not a good look for you, man.
But I really don't like doing content about people that don't matter.
And it's not, like, he matters in his own right to his audience and to his business and all that, but he's not in politics.
He tried.
When he did, he mattered.
Will this famous, you know, personality win?
He didn't.
Now he's not doing anything.
So it's not that important.
I use him only in this reference because he's an example of a high-profile progressive saying impeach Trump.
So, I begrudgingly mention, you know, this as, there's just some people who create what I would call, like, lower-brow content.
Which is exactly what I just did, which is why I'm like regretting, you know, regretting having done it.
adam crigler
I tried warning you.
tim pool
I know, but, you know, but I felt, it's kind of like, it's, it's been, it's been stewing for a while, when you have these small channels that are bottom feeders, and what they do is they just create shock content about low tier, like, you know what's funny, man?
People who make videos about me, it's the funniest thing ever because nobody knows who I am.
I know I've got a bunch of subscribers.
I know there's people watching.
I'm not trying to disrespect anybody.
But it's like, if you went to any major corporation, I mean, how about this?
Go look at the top podcasts on Apple.
I'm not there.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Not there at all.
You know who is?
Like Ben Shapiro, you know, Steven Crowder, Rachel Maddow.
adam crigler
Joe Rogan.
tim pool
Joe Rogan, of course, is number one.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
If you go to anybody in powerful media, they're going to be like, Tim who?
And then you might show them something like, oh, I think I've heard of that guy.
adam crigler
I think you'd be surprised.
tim pool
Nah, I think you'd be surprised.
adam crigler
Maybe, I don't know.
tim pool
Yeah, nah.
So when people make content about me, it's like, not only am I one of like the weakest opinion people on YouTube, nobody cares.
adam crigler
Yes, but it's quality, though.
tim pool
Quality!
Quality milquetoast opinion.
adam crigler
Yes!
lydia smith
The best milquetoast opinion.
tim pool
Well, let's do this.
Let's actually jump back to our government overreach conversation.
And then after this, we'll jump to Super Chats.
Okay.
So, oh man, this one really bugged me.
The New York Post.
More than 1,500 NYC inmates have been released during the coronavirus crisis.
adam crigler
I don't get this.
tim pool
It's from a week ago.
Well, it makes sense.
All right.
You got a bunch of people in closed quarters.
They can't go anywhere.
They're getting sick.
Maybe it makes sense to put them under house arrest.
I mean, not only that, but house arrest makes more sense for everything, to be honest.
adam crigler
Well, I did read that it's like blue-collar slash non-violent.
Right.
That kind of stuff.
So, I don't know.
It's not...
I'm not necessarily agreeing with this, but it isn't necessarily worse than it seems.
You know, this, because this is a scary, like, you never know.
It's like 1,500, like, criminals out there.
No, no, man.
tim pool
Like, there was one story about a murderer who got released and then went and murdered somebody.
unidentified
Yep.
lydia smith
The next day.
tim pool
Yeah, the next day.
adam crigler
Well, there you go.
tim pool
Bro, let me tell you a story.
I took a community college course for about a month on criminal justice when I was 18.
Okay.
First, I'll explain this.
The secret to life.
You don't need a high school diploma to go to college.
You can go to a community college once you turn 18.
Okay.
And you take one course for however cheap it is, and then you put down some college in all your applications.
adam crigler
Some college.
tim pool
Yeah, I'm a high school dropout.
That's the loophole.
But anyway, I chose some classes I thought were fun.
Theater acting.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And I did a criminal justice class, and we learned about this murderer.
There's something called the exclusionary rule.
What did Ben Shapiro call it?
lydia smith
The fruit of the poisonous tree?
tim pool
Yeah.
So if the police acquire evidence by violating your rights, that evidence can't be used in court.
Awesome rule.
Well, there was a story about a guy who had murdered a bunch of people.
And he gets pulled over.
The cops illegally search his vehicle because the cop knew he was a suspect for these murders.
So he stops the guy and then he illegally detains him and searches the vehicle.
Boom.
Finds hard evidence like blood or something.
So they arrest him.
The DA is like, we got him.
And then once they get ready to gear up, his lawyer says, what was the reason for the stop?
And lo and behold, the cop said, I don't know, he was a suspect.
And the DA's like, no.
adam crigler
Like, why?
tim pool
That's a Fourth Amendment violation.
You can't just stop random person.
adam crigler
Just cause you think.
tim pool
Dude got released.
And you know what he did?
Killed somebody the next day.
Did he really?
So this is anecdotal and possibly apocryphal.
But like, almost immediately, he kills again.
And the craziest thing was, and this is a story I was being told by the teacher, so I don't know how true it is.
Maybe you could look it up.
Apparently, they find a dead body outside of his apartment.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Not just in plain sight and so they go to him and he's like oh, I did it
Yeah, and they were like they were like what why he goes like they're like why didn't you try and get away with it?
He's like oh you caught me already It's something like that what now it's
What?
That's insane.
It's been 16 years, I think.
adam crigler
Okay, how long ago was that?
That was 16 years ago?
tim pool
No, no, no, since I was told that story.
adam crigler
Oh, since you were told.
tim pool
It may have been in the 80s or something.
adam crigler
So a long time ago.
tim pool
But the point of the story was to explain that even though we recognize how you can lose, and some people can get hurt, the Constitution is the Constitution.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Police cannot violate this.
So going back to the inmates being released, right?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I do think, from a civil liberties perspective, it makes sense.
I do not think the state has a right to lock you in a box full of sick people.
adam crigler
How did it get in there in the first place?
A guard?
tim pool
Visitors?
And now you've got these people locked in these tiny rooms.
This actually goes into the governor's abuse of power, because there have been numerous studies, even studies out of China, showing that people outside are substantially less likely to catch COVID.
unidentified
Interesting.
tim pool
It's in your home, in your office, in jail.
adam crigler
Interesting.
tim pool
Well, it makes sense.
I mean, like, we're in this room.
It's not that big.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
So if you, like, cough, you're gonna splatter the wall with all that COVID stuff, and then I might walk by and, like, accidentally put my hand up or something, or I might lean on it to tie my shoe, or, boom, there it is.
You're outside and you cough, it goes in the grass.
I walk 20 feet in the other direction, I don't even think twice.
So that's why people have been saying these lockdowns need to be lifted.
The same is true for a lot of criminals.
House arrests make sense.
If they're doing non-violent offenders, maybe like drug offenses or something.
I don't know.
adam crigler
That makes sense to me.
tim pool
But I think the bigger picture here, what I'm trying to bring up is, ultimately, it looks like a general breakdown in social order.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
It's not about whether or not the prisoners should or shouldn't be released.
It's about the fact they are being released.
Whatever your argument might be.
It's about the fact we got this story, NYC nurse who beat coronavirus, pummeled, robbed by a group of thugs.
So in New York City, you get a nurse, frontline on the COVID, gets beat up and mugged, saved by random bystanders.
adam crigler
Oh, she was saved by random bystanders?
That's awesome.
lydia smith
That's great.
tim pool
Nice.
Then you get this.
adam crigler
Of course not.
tim pool
Video appears to show NYPD seizing young boy for selling candy in the subway.
adam crigler
Oh, look how sad this dude looks.
He's like, are you kidding me, man?
tim pool
What are the videos we get?
Now it's possible that we're not hearing about the good things the cops do, like helping, you know, Graham across the street and stuff like that.
adam crigler
Yeah, there's definitely good cops out there.
I know a few myself, you know.
It's like, they exist.
tim pool
I know they do.
But I'm not talking right now about the percentage of good cops versus bad cops.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
I'm talking about a breakdown in social order.
We get videos of cops arresting 12-year-old kids, or detaining them, whatever.
We get stories about a nurse being beaten by random muggers, no cop in sight.
Now, they eventually did arrest some of these guys, so I don't wanna act like the cops have done literally nothing.
I'm trying to point out that if we're gonna start letting people out of jail, if Philadelphia says, we're not gonna be arresting people anymore, They did announce that.
adam crigler
That's true.
They did a while ago.
tim pool
Yes.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
They're like we're gonna postpone it.
adam crigler
California?
Was it California they did it?
tim pool
And they're releasing inmates all over the place.
adam crigler
They're setting the precedence.
See that's what I was talking about.
Robberies in New York going up.
It's if you announce these things, if you tell everyone no one's gonna be there, the people that are interested in those things are like yep now I'm gonna go do it.
This is the perfect time for me to go out and do this.
lydia smith
I don't know why they announced it.
tim pool
That's the point I have for this, right?
It's kind of, it seems like there's some stories that look like government overreach.
12-year-old kid getting detained, right?
I think the reality is with a bunch of cops being sick, a bunch of cops not wanting to get COVID, so they're kind of being distant.
You got commercial burglaries are up 75%.
You got 1,500 in New York, 1,500 people being released from jail.
This nurse is getting beat up.
Kids are getting stopped.
What is the message being sent to bad people in New York City?
You've got a governor telling you you can't go to the gardening section.
Who cares?
It's snowing anyway.
But then they'll stop this 12-year-old kid.
They'll tell you in Philadelphia, we're not going to arrest someone for burglary or for auto theft.
adam crigler
Right.
We'll give them a ticket for them to be arrested at a later date.
tim pool
Oh yeah.
lydia smith
That'll work out great.
adam crigler
Nice.
tim pool
So you know what ends up happening when they do this?
I'm not going to say I have any stats to cite, but when one jurisdiction loses control, people outside come in.
So if Philadelphia says, we're going to give you a ticket, you come back later, some dude in Baltimore is like, you want to take a hop over to Philly?
Because they're not going to arrest us.
adam crigler
They'll break into some stuff.
I mean, they'll give us tickets, but we'll never go to Philly again.
tim pool
So we simultaneously have, it's really amazing about the pandemic, we're getting like government overreach in some places and like government underreach, I guess, in other places.
Like it was that meme I was mentioning, the political compass, where every faction got something they wanted.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
It's like the authoritarian left is like, the corporations are dying, the libertarian left is like, I can't remember exactly what everyone wanted, but you've got borders tightening up for the authoritarian right, the libertarian right is saying the government's spazzing out, everybody gets something they want.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's crazy.
Like, there's someone sitting in a park by themselves and they got a ticket.
Like, the guy running on the beach.
It's just like, one person.
I mean, I get it.
You gotta set the precedent.
You know, so if one person goes, then five people go, then a hundred people go, and it's like...
tim pool
But we just heard that you are substantially less likely to contract this outside.
So they're forcing people inside where they're more likely to get sick.
That's why authoritarianism doesn't work.
It doesn't.
That's what I was saying.
You know, everybody thinks they're smarter than everybody else.
adam crigler
I don't see the problem with opening up anyway.
Everybody's washing their hands.
No one's shaking hands.
Everyone's wearing a mask.
Like what's really going to change?
Why wouldn't we just go back to work?
Open things up.
Wear a mask.
Wash your hands.
Don't shake anybody's hand.
Stay away from each other.
We can do this.
This is 2020.
We've been doing this for a while.
I'm pretty sure we can handle it.
tim pool
Could you imagine the approval rating for Donald Trump if he wasn't a potty mouth?
Look, look, I know a lot of people are like, Tim, who cares?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
He's a potty mouth. I agree.
I, you know, I'm an adult and I'm just like, you know, whatever. He does have the media against him.
But if you took his policies and you changed his attitude. Well, his environmental policies
are terrible. But no one cares.
adam crigler
I do.
tim pool
I know, I agree.
adam crigler
I think they're terrible.
unidentified
I agree.
adam crigler
That's like the worst part about him.
tim pool
Yeah, he's pulled back tons of regulations for environmental protections.
adam crigler
It's ridiculous.
Yeah, it's really bad.
tim pool
But here's my question to you.
Have the Democrats brought that up at all?
adam crigler
Not in the slightest.
tim pool
No, they haven't.
adam crigler
Nobody seems to be talking about it.
It's weird, you know?
It's like, why not?
tim pool
If you came to me and told me that the Democrats were actually working secretly for Trump's re-election, I'd believe it.
lydia smith
Yeah I would too.
tim pool
You're right.
adam crigler
Yeah dude.
tim pool
Aren't they already trying again?
They try to impeach the guy and he raises a hundred something million dollars his approval rating skyrockets.
Yeah, it's like they're trying again Like they're like Genk Uygur is saying Trump should be impeached
unidentified
again. It's like Don't you aren't they already trying again? Do you remember
tim pool
what happened last time you did this? Yeah, why would you?
the dude the dudes like Inadvertently being I guess I just say Hanlon's razor. Yeah
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.
These people are so dumb.
But, you know, in terms of what I was just saying before, like...
You've got the Democrats, and this is one thing I've brought up all the time.
People say, like, Tim, why do you always write on the Democrats?
It's like, can you tell me one thing that they've proposed recently?
adam crigler
Orange man bad.
tim pool
That's right.
adam crigler
That's all I can think.
tim pool
Now of course, there are some policies they've proposed, and it's just not the leadership.
adam crigler
Well, I could probably name some things that Bernie has said, but thinking about what Biden says, he just, he talks, says Obama's name a couple times, says orange man bad a few more times, says um and that thing a few times.
tim pool
It really is.
No, no, no.
adam crigler
And then the cycle repeats.
tim pool
He says that thing.
unidentified
That, you know, and you know, you know.
tim pool
You know the thing.
adam crigler
The thing.
tim pool
But he's been getting worse, man.
I know, man.
adam crigler
I can't believe it.
tim pool
I don't want to deviate too much.
But I think we can kind of wrap up this segment, but the point I'm trying to make is if we got these cities, you know, acting like they have no ability now to police properly, that they can't arrest people because they don't have the manpower.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's a problem.
tim pool
Why are we seeing police then arrest dudes jogging?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Or paddle boarding.
adam crigler
Or attempt to.
tim pool
Right, why are we seeing all of this at a time where they're telling us they don't have the ability to do it?
Why are they locking down?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Telling us to stay in our homes.
We can't go out, we gotta sacrifice.
And then we hear stories about nurses getting pummeled, we hear stories about people being released from jail.
adam crigler
You know, I do have to say, like, sure, it sounds easy to me to open back up, everyone wear a mask, wash your hands, but I lived in New York for a long time, and the New York subway system is packed tight.
And New York has millions of people going through that every day.
So if you took the subway system, sometimes you're shoulder to shoulder.
So it doesn't matter.
You're wearing a mask.
You're still sweating in the summertime.
It gets hot in there.
It's gross sometimes.
And it's like, that's a Petri dish just waiting to happen.
tim pool
I see what you're saying, Adam.
In your call for reopening the government, you're saying we should purge New York and let them all fight themselves.
unidentified
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
adam crigler
You said that.
tim pool
No, I didn't.
adam crigler
Those are your words.
Don't twist what I'm saying.
I like to look at all sides of the coin.
That's what I'm doing.
tim pool
Nobody wants to say the truth.
And the truth is...
We cannot have an economy shut down permanently, and we cannot open up in a population-dense area where people will die.
Guess what?
Pick one.
You have to.
You can't have both.
adam crigler
You're right.
That's what we were talking about a month ago.
Which one is it?
People are gonna die.
Which way kills less people?
That's the only choice we have, because people will die.
tim pool
Dr. Oz got slammed because he said we should reopen the schools or he said something like some people would want to open up the schools because we're looking at a two to three percent mortality.
I think some people would be willing to accept that.
That's the gist of what he said and he got torn apart.
He apologized for it.
And I think, maybe he said it a little callously, but I'm not a fan of people trying to pretend like the world is a bunch of foofy marshmallows and candy canes.
The reality is, guess what?
People are going to die.
Nothing will stop it.
adam crigler
We're animals.
We're susceptible to this stuff.
And the Earth is, you know, we have to deal with what happens on Earth, and that's it.
It's like, that's the thing.
We have to deal with it and move forward, not dwell and yell at people and blame.
I can't stand that.
tim pool
It's like hard times, strong men, yadda yadda men.
You've got people unwilling to accept reality.
It's actually perfectly in line with the healthcare is a human right crowd.
Would I personally prefer everybody to have access to out there?
Oh, you betcha.
lydia smith
Of course.
tim pool
And then some.
Yeah, why not?
You ever see Elysium?
adam crigler
Yeah, it's great.
tim pool
Where they got those beds you lay in and it cures every disease you have.
Cures your cancer.
adam crigler
Oh, there's something wrong with the... You're clear now.
tim pool
Oh, I'd love to give those to everybody.
Guess what?
They don't exist.
adam crigler
I know.
tim pool
So in this movie, they try to make it seem like the rich people just don't want to share for no reason.
And all the rich people are in space and they speak French and all the poor people speak Spanish.
For real, it's funny.
Yeah, stupid movie.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
But, like, this is how they view the world.
Like, there's a magic wand that will cure you and they just won't let you have it.
And that's what they tweet about.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's true.
It feels like they feel like they're in Elysium.
That, like, somewhere out there there's this magical cure that the rich people have that they can just pop the pill and be fine.
tim pool
It's because they don't want to accept that people die.
And we are not gods.
We can't stop it.
adam crigler
Yeah, people die.
tim pool
There was a story about, I think it was Louisiana.
Some kid had a genetic disease.
They said the treatment, the cure, was $4 million.
And so the family demanded the state pay for it.
The state was like, we don't have $4 million for this.
And they demanded the state pay for it.
I try explaining this to a lot of these people when they don't want to hear the truth.
I'm like, You understand that there's no cure for some diseases, right?
Okay.
If a company right now invented an extremely risky and expensive treatment to cure, say, you know, like, let's say we could definitively cure leukemia, boom, snap of the fingers.
And they had to do all of this work, build a new machine called the Leukemarator.
And it was made of, like, ridiculous parts.
It was built by, you know, specialists.
And it cost $100 million to build.
adam crigler
Mined with materials mined from the moon kind of thing.
Right.
tim pool
And then they were like, everybody should have it!
It's a human right!
Now, I'm sorry, if you can afford to operate the machine... By the way, it costs $4,000,000 to operate the machine.
Yeah, pull the trigger one time to cure leukemia, $4,000,000.
So we're gonna get it to as many people as we can, but it's not a right.
It's a technology the same as anything else.
adam crigler
Yeah, and the whole health thing kind of bugs me, too, because there's so much self-health care that people don't deal with.
You know, like brushing your teeth, getting enough sleep, eating enough food, getting the correct amount of nutrients from that food, you know?
I mean, all of these things.
Exercising, getting up and walking every day.
It's like, there's plenty of people that don't follow these things, and a lot of those people are the ones going, why not free health care for everybody?
Well, I'm sick.
Why should I have to pay for this?
You're also not very healthy.
Right.
tim pool
Healthcare isn't just the doctor giving you a pill to swallow.
It's eating the right food.
It's exercising.
Exactly.
adam crigler
Taking care of yourself.
tim pool
Responsibility.
So then what happens when it comes to the government?
What happens when it comes to the coronavirus?
For one, they want the government to do everything.
You do it!
Just tell me what to do.
And then they assume that there's a magic switch that makes everything all better.
So it's funny, there are some people that are just the fakest.
Like, what's that Ruben?
Jennifer or whatever?
lydia smith
Jennifer Ruben?
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
She's supposedly conservative.
tim pool
She's not camera.
lydia smith
Oh, okay.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
You got a camera.
You got to use it.
lydia smith
I have to look at the camera.
Yeah.
tim pool
She's supposed to be the conservative and she's not even, I mean, I don't, I don't, she can tweet wherever she wants.
Like she can call herself whatever she wants, but she tweeted like the Trump death toll or something.
And it was just like, it was stats about like, if we closed down a week earlier, how many people would have died versus two weeks later.
And it's like, ah, yes, it's all Trump's fault.
Always Trump's fault.
You were absolved of all responsibility.
You don't exist.
adam crigler
Except, of course, when he did close it down, you were the person going,
Why is he doing this? Xenophobe!
It's like, wait, what? But now you're saying, now there's a list of death toll blaming him?
tim pool
Uh-huh. Yep, that's how it works.
So I think you have these people who believe that they're deserving of everything.
That there's a magic wand to cure all their problems.
And you get people like her who kind of inflame and exacerbate that mentality.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Because if, look, if a person came up, let's say a person walked into this room right now and said, I think all pizza should be free.
And then all three- Whoa, pizza?
Pizza, all pizza should be free.
unidentified
Ooh.
tim pool
And then all three of us immediately said, that's not possible.
Who's going to get the wheat?
unidentified
Who's going to make the cheese?
adam crigler
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I don't know if that'd be my answer.
Free pizza sounds pretty good.
It does sound pretty good.
lydia smith
You got something there, I think.
tim pool
Free pizza, man.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
I love pizza, man.
tim pool
So who's gonna make the dough?
lydia smith
I'm gonna plan the week.
tim pool
You got me there, man.
adam crigler
You got me there.
tim pool
So these people live in a world where they think... It's like what we were talking about yesterday.
The bridge is just there.
Like you go to New York and there's a bridge just there for you to use for free.
You don't gotta pay anything for it.
You just walk right across it.
adam crigler
Yeah, well, some of the bridges are free.
tim pool
To walk across?
adam crigler
Oh, to walk across, yeah.
Yeah, they're free to walk across.
tim pool
Well, the tunnels aren't free.
Well, I guess like the George Washington, you know.
adam crigler
Only from the Jersey side.
tim pool
If you're leaving New York.
adam crigler
Yeah, if you're leaving, you're good.
No, no, no.
tim pool
If you're leaving, you're good.
If you're coming and you got paid.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
You know why they do that?
Keeps poor people out.
adam crigler
Seriously?
So... Is that a thing?
Or are you just kind of throwing that out there?
tim pool
This is the, like...
I don't want to say urban legend, but like common claim from people in big cities.
It always costs money to come in.
It's always free to leave.
They charge you to come in.
It's not so much to keep the poor people out necessarily, but it's to reduce congestion and stuff like that.
But yeah, the poor people can't pay the five bucks to drive into the city.
They'll take a bus for two bucks or something.
adam crigler
Well, you know what it reminds me of?
Like the music guy out in the street.
Always sell it for something.
Because if someone buys it, they're more inclined to listen to the CD.
As opposed to, yeah, yeah, here, listen to my CD.
Yeah, sure, I'll listen to it.
tim pool
Let's hit the nail on the head with the main point of what we're talking about here with medical issues and the coronavirus pandemic.
We're going to reopen up.
Andrew Cuomo says he wants to do it.
I think you look at Trump's plan, you look at the governor's plan, everybody's trying their hardest to mitigate the damage.
It doesn't help when you have partisans come out and attack Cuomo or attack Trump and everyone tries to pass the blame.
Of course, Trump gets it the worst than everybody.
adam crigler
Yeah, but there's always those people that are just shooting guns at whoever is their target.
And it doesn't matter who the target is, there's a person out there shooting guns at everybody, basically.
tim pool
Well, I'm always targeting the media for the most part, right?
True.
The way I put it is, I think de Blasio got it the worst.
Like, he was encouraging people to go out in New York City into March.
Trump was not doing that.
Andrew Cuomo actually rejected de Blasio's assertion they would shut down the city.
He said, get real, we're not going to do it.
You can criticize all three of them, but I'll tell you what.
We're trying to fight through this problem.
We know it's going to get bad.
People are going to lose their lives.
So I will give my respect to de Blasio.
I think he's trying.
I don't think he's the best guy in the world.
I think he's made mistakes.
But do I think he's trying?
Of course.
You'd be insane to think they want people to die.
Trump, de Blasio, Cuomo, of course they're trying.
Let's chill out a little bit.
Let them do their job.
Whether it's a Democrat, Newsom as well.
Gavin Newsom.
And they've had back and forth with the President too.
But all I see from so many people is this, there's like two things that overlap.
Trump, all these people who died, it's all Trump's fault, and this could have been solved without loss of life.
That's just not true.
So if Cuomo wants to reopen things, and so does Trump, and Trump said, here's my plan, here's the phase, it's up to you guys.
Yeah, it's gonna get worse.
We're gonna see waves, probably.
We'll see more loss of life.
Nobody wants to admit it.
Dr. Oz has to apologize for saying it.
Guess what?
Do you want to reopen schools?
What are you going to do?
Hide in your basement and lock the doors?
It'll never go away.
So I don't want to tell you guys, man.
It's like sometimes there's a boogeyman that's really going to come and get you and you can't just hide.
I'll use one last analogy that's very esoteric.
When you're playing Magic the Gathering and you're scared your opponent has a counterspell, you can't just sit there doing nothing.
You have to play through it.
adam crigler
That's my style.
I play through them counter spells.
tim pool
Now everyone's like, I have no idea what that meant.
lydia smith
Well, I used to see it when people would come into the hospital.
They would come in with their parents, and their parent is very sick, and they would talk to them about their parent dying, and they were like, well, we had never anticipated that this would happen to our parent.
Yeah, it happens to everyone.
adam crigler
Newsflash.
lydia smith
Newsflash.
unidentified
People die.
tim pool
To quote, to paraphrase Fight Club, On a long enough timeline, the mortality rate for everyone becomes zero.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
No, it's 100%.
lydia smith
100%.
tim pool
No, he says the life expectancy of everyone becomes zero.
Yeah, something like that.
On a long enough timeline, guess what?
People die.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
I guess some people want to live in... You ever see the movie The Invention of Lying?
adam crigler
Great movie.
tim pool
Awesome movie.
adam crigler
That was funny.
tim pool
For those who aren't familiar, Ricky Gervais, it's hilarious.
He lives in a world where no one can lie.
Movies are a dude sitting in a chair reading history.
Like an encyclopedia entry.
And one day he discovers he can lie.
Like an accident.
He's like, whoa.
And he tries to explain to people what a lie is.
No one understands.
But there's a scene, and look, I know it might be spoiling it for people who didn't see it, but it's a really old movie.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
His mom's dying.
And she's scared and she's like, I don't want to be nothing.
And he goes, no, no, no, no, no, it's not true.
You're going to see everyone you've ever loved.
You're going to be happy for all eternity.
And she's like, really?
He's like, yes, yes.
And he's crying and sad, just trying to tell her whatever she needs to hear to make her feel good.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
That's the problem we have right now, just in general.
An inability to accept that life is not always going to be perfect.
You are not just going to wake up one day with, you know, a magic cure and a million bucks and a check from the government.
It's just not working that way.
adam crigler
Nope.
tim pool
If you wanna eat good, you gotta go work good.
Boom.
If you wanna succeed, you gotta work for it.
adam crigler
Exactly.
You gotta do the work.
Everybody is just... You gotta get out there, you gotta get up and focus on the goal that you want and make it happen.
Everybody's so jealous man and never say no jealous and never let never let those people Affect you that's that's also huge because there's people out there that are like, oh I tried but then all these people hated me So I just gave up and it's like I think I'm gonna not care about those people cuz you just said it.
They're just jealous They're just they're just they're real jealous because they're not doing that they're sitting there just pointing and yelling because that's that's as bold as they are able to get and It's like I imagine someone, you know, walks onto a field, has a bunch of supplies, and starts just, you know, building away.
tim pool
And they're building a little, like, little tree fort.
Eventually they will have their little tree fort.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, and they're gonna be able to hang out in there and, you know, read some comic books or whatever they want to do.
Someone else, instead of, you know, hammering away, is staring at them saying, it's not fair, I want that tree house.
Well guess what, dude?
If you started hammering those pieces of wood up against that tree, in a month, same amount of time, you'd have one.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
But instead, they just complain about how they deserve it from someone else.
adam crigler
Yeah, I'm so sick of that.
tim pool
You should give us your treehouse because you have it.
Dude, I've had friends tell me this.
It's like, here's the biggest red flag for roommates.
They were like, I said, if we're, uh, we'll all split the electric bill.
They argued to me, well, we like it, you know, really hot, like 75, 76.
And I'm like, I do not want to be that hot in my place.
If you want to jack the heat up, then you pay for it.
And they're like, well, actually, you make more money than us, so you should pay for most of it.
unidentified
Oh.
adam crigler
Wow, really?
unidentified
Yup.
adam crigler
That's ridiculous.
tim pool
Not even kidding, it's a true story.
And I was like, nope, no chance.
I'm not living with these people.
adam crigler
Roommate etiquette is something we can have a whole subject on.
Seriously?
tim pool
Let's jump to Super Chats.
lydia smith
There we go.
tim pool
And then I think the next one we should talk about is the end of the world.
The climate-driven Megadrought is coming.
unidentified
Oh, man.
tim pool
Because we can talk about that.
I just watched Snowpiercer.
adam crigler
I guess.
tim pool
You know what I'm talking about?
adam crigler
The end of the world just seems so repetitive now.
tim pool
Oh man, it's all that's going on, everyone keeps talking about it.
adam crigler
Yeah, I know.
tim pool
So much weird stuff happening.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Alright, we're gonna grab some Super Chats, but mind you, these Super Chats are now about an hour old, so I apologize, just typically how it works, but let's read them.
Before we do, I will say, hit that like button if you haven't, because it really does help, and subscribe, because we do the show every Monday through Friday at 8pm, and we have clips up every day.
It's also on iTunes and Spotify and Google and all that stuff.
Daniel, thanks for becoming a member.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
Kyle Buchanan says, Tim, do you think if everyone treated YouTube like Netflix and paid for premium, they wouldn't do half of what they do?
Absolutely.
If every single person bought YouTube premium, I could say whatever I want.
Seriously.
So when you get demonetized, you don't lose access to premium revenue.
And as premium revenue has been going up, it's not good.
It's like seriously low.
It's like 20% of something or 20% or something of like standard rev.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
But yeah, you can demonetize me and it stays.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
So would I recommend people get YouTube premium?
Nah.
You know why?
Because you can just donate to me.
For real.
I guess the challenge is if YouTube really had every single viewer by premium, Alex Jones would still be here.
He'd have a channel, 100%.
And they'd be like, we don't care.
People pay for it.
So go do something about it.
Stephen says, if Adam saw my soy Faroth fan art, I hope he liked it.
Sorry I didn't have time to draw my male subjects fully clothed.
adam crigler
You know what?
I did show them that and I forgot to comment because I saw it right when we finished the show the other day and I was like, oh my gosh, look at this.
unidentified
Why am I not wearing any clothes?
adam crigler
That's funny, but I do appreciate that.
Thank you.
Thank you.
tim pool
Right on.
I will also give a shout-out right now.
Make sure you follow us.
So I'm at Timcast.
We got Adam Krigler.
adam crigler
And also at Cider Patch Lids.
lydia smith
Boom!
tim pool
But if you follow Adam, you can send him story ideas.
adam crigler
Yeah, and I constantly do tweets like saying thanks and post your ideas here.
It's easier to just post them on that tweet so I can find them easier because a lot of times people are tweeting at me and then those get lost.
So I might see something and I go to reference it and it gets lost in the messages.
tim pool
But we really do, like a lot of the segments we've done have been from your guys' suggestions sent to Adam.
So make sure you follow him at AdamKrigler on Twitter and Instagram.
All right, let's read more.
Laws says, regarding China's manpower, it's a non-factor unless you land troops there.
No way they have the air naval power to invade the U.S.
over 3,000 miles of ocean.
Japan, South Korea are great allies in that regard.
Totally.
And a very good point.
If they had a bunch of Chinese U-boats trying to go, we'd just like airships and wipe them out.
adam crigler
What do you do?
tim pool
Yeah.
But they do have cyber.
capabilities.
adam crigler
Yes, that is frightening.
tim pool
Daniel says, on Long Island, Suffolk County has just postponed longevity checks and is talking about lag paying us for two weeks work.
Still have food and toilet paper.
Well, at least you got that, I guess.
Sir Doonyall says, Hey Tim, today I will be going outside.
I'm sorry I will miss your show.
Will catch the upload of the stream, but for now I'll be drinking a beer while cruising my board.
Nothing changes until we change it.
Much love.
adam crigler
Sounds like a good time.
tim pool
You see these photos coming out of LA?
adam crigler
Which ones?
tim pool
Traffic jams.
adam crigler
No.
tim pool
Nobody cares anymore.
They're like, that's it, I'm out.
We're done.
adam crigler
Seriously?
tim pool
Yeah, we tried quarantine.
We're done.
We're bored.
lydia smith
Dude, I'm reaching that point.
adam crigler
Honestly, that's not really surprising.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
Totally.
Well, you know, it's like people don't see it.
It's not in their face.
So it's not something that UFOs being spun.
lydia smith
Oh yeah, wait, sorry, yeah.
adam crigler
I mean, priorities, right?
lydia smith
Yeah, for sure.
adam crigler
You know what I'm saying?
lydia smith
I was like, Adam's talking.
adam crigler
Let's go ahead.
Tim knows what he's doing, though.
tim pool
People want the UFO to spin.
unidentified
I'm not even mad.
adam crigler
I'm not mad.
I totally understand.
lydia smith
First things first.
tim pool
Look how fast it's going.
adam crigler
I forget what I was talking about.
lydia smith
Oh, yes, yes.
tim pool
We mentioned the quarantine.
Nobody wants to be quarantined anymore.
unidentified
That's true.
lydia smith
Yeah, I'm not surprised.
Yeah, I'm hitting that point for sure.
Yeah, man.
tim pool
I didn't realize it was going to be so loud.
I apologize for it.
I thought it would be quieter.
adam crigler
I'm going to hold this against you forever.
lydia smith
Forever.
tim pool
All right, man.
Mark Taylor says, hope Lydia's doing OK.
Keep up the good work.
Appreciate it.
Matthew says, Daily Mail, February 14, 2020, China appoints its top military bio-warfare expert
to take over a secretive virus lab in Wuhan.
Come on.
Like, these stories are stacking up.
We get it, you know?
Like, finally now the mainstream media reports on it.
Perpetual Punster says, Hey Adam, consider putting a light over your seat so that when you take off your beanie a holy light shines down upon you as Lydia plays some harp music.
lydia smith
This is such a great idea!
tim pool
We actually have some ideas for silly clips and soundbites we want to use.
adam crigler
We got some fun ideas.
tim pool
We actually have the Greta How Dare You soundbite, but we couldn't get it to work with the stream decks we have, so we need actually a board.
But it's her going, How dare you!
How dare you!
adam crigler
You played Mortal Kombat 1?
Yeah.
Alright, so you know the, whoop-diddy!
The little guy that pops up when you get a nice solid hit.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
That's what I want.
I want Greta's face to pop up and be like, how dare you?
tim pool
How dare you?
adam crigler
It'd be great.
lydia smith
It's gonna require some work.
tim pool
And so whenever someone's angry, we press the how dare you button.
adam crigler
I want that.
tim pool
Someone can probably message us and tell us an easy way to do it.
I've looked at soundboard stuff.
adam crigler
That would be wonderful.
tim pool
Yeah, we'll see what happens.
adam crigler
That would be wonderful.
tim pool
Bassmaster says, loved seeing Elon Musk destroy CNN yesterday.
Best birthday gift anyone could ask for.
It was so good.
The story was fake.
adam crigler
It was so fake!
Elon's like, uh, here's all of the information, and everyone's like, uh, what?
tim pool
They got a quote from the governor who was wrong, and then didn't fact-check it.
adam crigler
It was bad.
tim pool
And they were like, why are you mad at us?
We're just telling you what he said.
Because you're a news outlet, you fact-check things.
If Sina interviewed me and I said, the sky is purple, would you just run it and say, sky is purple, says Tim?
Or would you be like, sky not actually purple, Tim's wrong.
Or, I mean, not run it at all.
adam crigler
I don't know, man.
tim pool
Journalists are supposed to fact-check these things.
adam crigler
I agree.
tim pool
Yeah, CNN's not journalism.
adam crigler
Agreed.
lydia smith
Elon brought the Smackdown.
I loved it.
unidentified
He did.
tim pool
It was great.
C. Treadwell, thanks for becoming a member.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
Timothy E. says, Lung Pow Sicken may not have started as a bioweapon, but it became one the minute China shut down domestic travel and left international open.
adam crigler
I agree.
tim pool
They let it happen.
Oh, what's this?
Roger says, is Adam MAGA?
No, but the old saying says, if you're not a liberal by 20, you have no heart.
If you're not a conservative by 40, you have no brain.
adam crigler
But the thing about this- I'm getting there.
tim pool
No, I think it's that the left has gone further and further left.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's it.
tim pool
So we stay where we are, and then once we're older, the young people are saying things like, you know, there's infinite genders, and we're like, what?
And they're like, you're right wing!
adam crigler
No, no, and this is funny.
We did this on the show the other day where there was like a big conversation about it, but I'm not MAGA.
I'm MAG.
Make America greater.
tim pool
But that is a thing.
That's what Trump supporters say.
adam crigler
Well, it's not the same as MAGA.
Make America great again.
tim pool
You know what's funny?
adam crigler
I don't remember when we were... I mean, we were amazing.
America is great.
I love America.
tim pool
There was some website that was put together by anti-Trump activists that was something like Make America Great or something, thinking they were getting back at Trump.
No, no, it was Keep America Great.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And then Trump adopted that slogan for his re-election.
adam crigler
He's like, yeah, that's good.
tim pool
I'm willing to bet he did it on purpose because they already sold t-shirts.
Check this out.
They were selling t-shirts in 2016 to counteract Make America Great again by saying Keep America Great.
unidentified
Yep.
adam crigler
He's a businessman.
tim pool
Check this out.
They were saying that if Donald Trump is elected, America won't be great anymore, so keep America great.
Don't vote for him, right?
So they put out all this merchandise.
I'm willing to bet the Trump campaign saw that and they were like, let's buy that for cheap.
No, no, no.
Let's use the slogan.
You know why?
Now everyone who bought those shirts are Trump supporters.
lydia smith
Every resistor.
tim pool
Every resistor who was trying to rag on Trump became a Trump supporter overnight.
What are you going to do?
Now they got all this weird cat gear.
adam crigler
It's a good move.
tim pool
Totally.
The Red Bike Man says, the voice has a face!
unidentified
Yes!
lydia smith
Hey Twitter bud.
Hey Ben.
tim pool
Wolfsbane says, hey Adam, just wanted a follow up from Wednesday.
They shadow banned Tifa from YouTube and Google when FF7 Remake was announced.
It wouldn't autoplay her, but it worked for all the other characters.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Was it because of her clothes?
Didn't they change her clothes and made her, like, less revealing?
adam crigler
I mean, she's...
Pretty revealing.
You know what?
This game is mighty bold on many fronts.
There's... Man, I need a list of things.
I mean, there's... From the get-go, every girl that the main character runs into wants him.
They're like, whoa, hey, what up?
Yeah, Cloud.
Everyone wants Cloud.
Everybody wants Cloud.
And I'm talking everybody.
tim pool
Even the dudes?
adam crigler
Even the dudes.
You get to a certain point, and there's this dude who's like, let's dance.
And you straight up have a dance montage with him.
It's crazy.
I mean, it was like, OK.
And then he finds a dress, puts a dress on.
And the next dude is like, yes, I'm picking you.
Or at least he did in my playthrough, because you can wear different dresses, I guess.
tim pool
Oh, and you chose the right one, so.
adam crigler
I guess I chose the right dress.
tim pool
Very attractive, huh?
adam crigler
I got style.
You know, what can I say?
Oh my gosh!
unidentified
That's amazing.
adam crigler
No, but it's pretty out there.
I mean, it's just like the original game.
It's not surprising to me, but... Better graphics.
Insane graphics really, like, blare it out there.
Word.
tim pool
Yeah, anyway.
The 1GBaby, thanks for the super chat.
Axel says, and the Lord said, let there be Lydia.
unidentified
Indeed.
tim pool
And there she was.
lydia smith
Thank you, soy Jesus.
tim pool
Kyle Buchanan says, Lydia, your Twitter is amazing.
Please keep being you.
lydia smith
Okay, I will continue doing that.
Thank you.
tim pool
Jeff, thanks for the super chat.
Thunder Chicken says, she's a ginger.
You can throw away the camera now.
lydia smith
Okay.
Just because I have no soul, it's not my fault.
adam crigler
Hey, you gotta use the camera, though, when you're saying stuff.
lydia smith
What?
adam crigler
I mean, when you're responding, if you're gonna respond.
tim pool
You're not a ginger.
lydia smith
I'm a ginger.
tim pool
You are.
lydia smith
I have auburn red hair.
I'm fake red.
adam crigler
Are you colorblind?
tim pool
Me?
No.
adam crigler
I am colorblind, and I can see she's got red hair.
tim pool
No, it's not about having red hair.
It's about, like, the freckles, pale skin, and all that.
unidentified
I got freckles.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
adam crigler
Not all of them are the same.
lydia smith
Hashtag not all gingers, Tim.
tim pool
Daywalker.
adam crigler
Is that a thing?
lydia smith
Yes, it's true.
No, it's not a thing.
adam crigler
What?
lydia smith
Don't have a soul.
tim pool
Not all gingers.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
You do have a soul.
unidentified
Yeah.

TSmithJones says, Hey Tim, so Seiken Densetsu 3 is being released on Steam in one week.
Will you be getting it?
Man, I don't know.
I mean, I've beaten that game, like, a million times.
It's, uh, Secret of Mana 3.
Oh, yeah.
Or, I think, Secret of Mana 2.
adam crigler
You know, I got the remake of Secret of Mana, and I'm really bummed about it.
tim pool
It was, like, kiddie mode.
adam crigler
They cheeseballed it.
Yeah.
It's, like, it's really nostalgic, the music and everything.
It's great.
And that's, I got the demo of that game, actually.
And it's the same.
They cheeseballed it.
tim pool
The remake made it so dumb easy.
I was like, what is this?
adam crigler
No, no, no.
But some parts are hard.
You know how like you'd have to like fight and grind a little bit to level your guys up?
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
You still have to do that because the bosses are hard.
But it's like everything else is just like, you're dead.
You're dead.
I mean, I know the game also, but man, I wanted that.
I like gritty.
The first game was a little gritty.
You know, I liked it.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
Yup.
adam crigler
It's not the same.
tim pool
Oh, I love that.
with David Lopez says, Lydia is cute, I've known what she looked like
for a while though.
lydia smith
No thanks.
tim pool
Thomas Dolson says, big love from the UK,
you three are a lighthouse in a sea of misinformation, please cover police overreach in UK lockdown.
Oh, I love that.
We did talk about it a bit.
adam crigler
Yeah, but we can dig into it.
People are asking for it.
lydia smith
We talked about it in the U.S., right?
adam crigler
There's a lot going on right now.
tim pool
We did talk about it in the U.K.
Oh, yeah.
adam crigler
Yeah, we brought it up a little bit.
tim pool
That tweet where they're like, Think you can go into a field and have a picnic?
We're gonna come out of the shadows.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh.
tim pool
What was that all about?
adam crigler
I don't know.
They kicked the dude's door in just because he had the TV loud?
Come on.
tim pool
There was one guy who, this one's going viral, where he went and filmed a bunch of mosques that were still open or something.
And so the cops showed up to his house and they were like, we'll arrest you if you do this again.
And he's like, what about them breaking social quarantine or whatever to go worship?
It's interesting because I think a lot of people focus on the Muslim aspect of it.
And I'm like, It's funny that in the US, they're actually smearing and slamming Christians for worshipping on Easter, and no one says anything about the mosques in the UK.
It's like they just don't care.
Yet they will rag on Tommy.
So Tommy Robinson, I don't know if you know who he is, he's like... No, I don't.
I wouldn't know how to describe him, but he's very, very like...
I try to be careful because it's a very contentious issue with this guy.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
He's an activist focused on Islamic extremism.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
But if you ask the left, they'll say he's like a white nationalist, a white supremacist, or whatever.
adam crigler
Of course, of course.
tim pool
Yeah, which I think is absurd.
I think he's definitely hyper-focused on Islam.
lydia smith
Right, that's his topic.
tim pool
Right, yeah.
So, they will go after this guy relentlessly.
They'll smear him all day and night.
And then when someone goes out and films that these monsters are still worshipping, nobody over here will say anything about it.
adam crigler
They pick and choose their battles.
tim pool
I'll tell you what, man.
In the United States, you've got a right to worship.
adam crigler
I agree.
tim pool
Be it a mosque, be it a synagogue, be it a Buddhist temple, Hare Krishna, I don't care.
You've got a right to do it.
Now, someone brought up a good point.
You've got a responsibility to your community.
Where we draw those lines, I don't know, but I'll tell you what, man.
adam crigler
Yeah, but these people were in their cars, driving through, and, like, the passenger was coming out and giving each person, like, a... Well, that was the one, yeah, one circumstance where... Well, them and the cops were giving them tickets.
tim pool
Yeah, I know.
adam crigler
It's like, well, how could have they done it any better?
Like, they were legitly quarantined in their cars.
tim pool
If you tell me that there was a contentious, debated situation between a cop and a protester, or like a minority who got killed by a cop or something, I'll be like, you know, I typically don't just trust the government, especially not cops, but you gotta give me evidence if you want me to come out and wave that sign around.
But I'll tell you what, if the government decrees I can't worship, I have no interest in going and worshiping, but if you want to see me protest side by side with someone of any faith, Yeah, tell me I can't praise the sun.
adam crigler
Go ahead, tell me.
tim pool
No, for real.
adam crigler
I'll be out there so fast praising that sun.
tim pool
If they came out and said, you can't celebrate on Easter, I'll be like, I don't celebrate Easter, but I'm coming out now.
unidentified
I do now.
tim pool
I do now, that's right.
I'm gonna be standing next to these people, and I'm gonna be like, get out of here.
You know what, man?
There's very little I'll protest for, but if you try and take away my right to protest, I will protest.
adam crigler
I will protest that.
tim pool
Yeah, for sure.
All right, Derek, thanks for becoming a member.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
Front Hole Enthusiast says, did Obama really tell Biden you don't need to do this, Joe?
And if so, when?
I think that's a rumor.
lydia smith
I think he did say that.
tim pool
Can you look it up?
I'm pretty sure that was widely reported, but it could just be a rumor.
So there's a couple of theories.
One, that he was saying you don't have to run.
You don't have to be president.
The other was that you don't have to be the sacrificial lamb for the DNC.
lydia smith
Yeah.
So he did reportedly warn Biden about 2020.
tim pool
What's that source?
adam crigler
Oh, man.
lydia smith
That is the Daily Beast.
That is August 2019.
tim pool
He said you don't have to do this, Joe.
lydia smith
You don't have to do this, Joe.
You really don't.
Close quote.
tim pool
You want to talk about an endorsement from the president?
lydia smith
That is quite the endorsement.
tim pool
To not do it.
Could you imagine Obama being like, Joe, you don't have to do this.
You really don't.
unidentified
It sounds like he probably did.
adam crigler
It wouldn't surprise me.
unidentified
He did wait an awfully long time to endorse him.
tim pool
Did you see the CNN clip where Joe Biden just went off for 20 seconds?
adam crigler
I did.
tim pool
That made me angry.
adam crigler
And the guys were like, They're just sitting there.
lydia smith
I was like, look at their faces.
adam crigler
Should we stop him?
They were thinking that.
tim pool
Biden had a note card he was trying to read looking down.
He couldn't read it.
He is lost.
That made me angry.
adam crigler
I was shocked, man.
tim pool
It's funny when he turns around to fix his teeth.
lydia smith
That's fine.
tim pool
It's like, yeah, the old guy, man, we're gonna laugh and be like, come on, man.
Yeah, but whatever.
When he misspeaks one word and we laugh because he gaffed.
lydia smith
That's fine.
tim pool
Now they're trying to claim, but Joe Biden's always had a stutter.
unidentified
So when he goes, you know, that thing, that thing, you know, that... He hasn't.
adam crigler
I was around when he was vice president.
tim pool
He didn't stutter.
adam crigler
I remember him speaking clear sentences.
I remember that.
tim pool
Right.
adam crigler
My memory is still here.
Unlike some people we're talking about.
tim pool
It's elder abuse.
It is elder abuse.
adam crigler
Yeah, I agree.
tim pool
No question.
adam crigler
It's pretty bad.
tim pool
Alright, let's read some more.
Exactly.
Funny joke.
Adam says, I agree with opening up, but these protests need to be done better.
Standing right next to each other, sans masks, screaming slogans is just going to make things worse for us.
These morons need a leader.
That's true.
Oh, and I think Ben Shapiro said something like that, like at least distance.
In Michigan, they stayed in their cars.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
It's very smart.
adam crigler
Yeah, I love that.
Honking.
lydia smith
Yep.
adam crigler
That's great.
tim pool
Right on.
Howard says, Lydia beheld the two supplicants, noting their rapt gaze, their bulky totems straining betwixt leather and legs.
They were of low birth, one a skater, the other a peasant model.
No matter, for tonight they would know a queen.
unidentified
That's some poetic literature.
adam crigler
You have your first fan fiction.
lydia smith
I'm speechless.
Oh my gosh.
adam crigler
Oh look, and you can see her speechless.
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
Betwixt.
lydia smith
No!
How dare you?
That's a good word.
unidentified
That's not fair.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
Alright, alright.
lydia smith
Alright.
tim pool
Rob says, I watched Hoax after you recommended it the other night.
Very interesting.
Keep up the good work and thank you.
Yeah, well, I wouldn't necessarily call it a recommendation.
I don't know how I would put it.
I would say it's always important to get information from as many sources as you can.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
And whether or not you like or don't like Alex Jones, Molyneux, or Cernovich, if you just blindly believe everything you hear without hearing what they have to say, you're not going to be in a very good position, especially if these things come up, because people are going to run circles around you because you're lacking information.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
So I guess I would consider that a recommendation, for sure.
I mean, especially, I'm in it, and I like what I say, so, you know, check it out.
Well, now that Amazon's gotten rid of it, you'll have to order the hard DVD.
adam crigler
Or go on YouTube.
It's on YouTube.
tim pool
Oh, there you go, it's on YouTube.
Oh, perfect, yeah.
I think there's some silly things in it, like Stephen Molyneux does the parable, what is it, the story of the shadows in the wall?
You know the story?
lydia smith
I'm not familiar with that.
tim pool
It's like the people living in a cave and all they see are the shadows on the wall from the fire.
lydia smith
It was a philosopher's cave.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
Yeah, super old.
It was a very like...
I think they could have done a lot better.
Like at the end of the film they try and do this scene with him coming out of the cave and everything.
Yeah.
lydia smith
Meh.
tim pool
I'm going to be honest.
It's a little corny.
It is.
But I think Mike does a really good job, whether you like the guy or not, of pointing out a lot of flaws in the media.
It's like he describes it as a funhouse mirror.
Not him, but somebody, I think maybe Ryan Holiday.
He puts a funhouse mirror up to the media and they really hate it.
That's true.
lydia smith
Yeah, they deserve it.
tim pool
Aaron says, thanks for all the news and laughs.
You got it!
Nathan, uh, another Nathan.
Oh, so, okay, that was Aaron.
Nathan says, I think you were right.
Biden may very well be a placeholder.
Imagine who his VP could be.
Lying to take his place shortly after the general election.
I wouldn't mind another four years to get back on track, then switch.
John McLeod says, glad you're feeling better, Lydia.
And it is great to finally see you.
Fun little story.
One of my mask orders, I was paid with toilet paper, seeds, lemon, lemon Oreo cookies, and $60.
I got the trade of goods.
I guess the trade of goods is coming back.
unidentified
I think so.
adam crigler
Barney's back, baby.
Barney's back, man.
lydia smith
I love it.

Totally.
tim pool
Harold says, stores are bare here.
Granddad almost got in a fight.
Matthew says, liberate Tim Kass.
Oh, I am free.
Lloyd says, morning Tim.
Just wondering what IRL stands for.
In real life.
Yeah.
So, uh, this is like general conversations.
adam crigler
You all know Tim.
Now you get to see a new side of Tim.
tim pool
I mean, kind of, I talk about a lot of these things as it is, but now this is gonna focus more on just like our general conversations about stuff.
adam crigler
Yeah, we started the show actually not, we were, he said there's only one rule on the show when we start the show.
lydia smith
Oh, I remember the rule.
adam crigler
We're not allowed to say Democrat, and we're not allowed to say Republican.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
Well, we threw that out the window a long time ago.
tim pool
But not on purpose.
adam crigler
Not on purpose.
Because there's a pandemic going on, you know?
tim pool
We did a good job.
You'll notice this, like when we talked about like the left and woke culture, We would not get into politics.
Then the coronavirus happened and we're sitting here like, there's nothing going on anymore.
All the movies are gone.
Everything's canceled.
So now it's just like, whatever.
We end up just talking about not what we've been talking about.
And so it ends up, I think now it's just kind of like, you know what, man, we're going to talk about the most important thing that's happening tonight, I guess.
Well, there it is what it is.
Drunk Shovel says, I hope you have a canteen now that you've gotten the camera lids.
You're going to be approached with much thirst.
lydia smith
I see that.
tim pool
Ooh, spicy.
Jesus says, quarantine is saving people's lives.
Why would you rather people die but everyone gets their freedom?
Dead people don't get anything but death.
Well, first of all, it's about give me liberty or give me death.
lydia smith
Those are the options.
tim pool
Which is an actual fact statement.
adam crigler
Unless it's snowing.
lydia smith
Right, right.
unidentified
Unless it's snowing.
tim pool
Of course, of course.
adam crigler
Or there's a war.
lydia smith
Or like a virus?
tim pool
Or terrorism.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
You know what?
No liberty for anyone.
None for anyone.
Let me tell you what.
Quarantine is saving people's lives.
Why would I rather people die?
That question misses the fact that millions of people are going without food right now.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
And when I tweeted this, the first reply was, show me any picture of a food bank line.
And then everybody started spamming every major city with miles-long lines of people with no food.
So let me explain something to you.
adam crigler
Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not true.
tim pool
No one would rather anyone die.
But the sad truth is, if people don't have food, they tend to die.
So we need to know at what point that will be.
We've been under lockdown for like a month now, or a little bit longer than a month?
adam crigler
Longer, I think.
lydia smith
Yeah, dude.
tim pool
Longer than a month.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
People already don't have food.
They're pulling up to food banks saying, please, I need food.
Okay, after about a month without food, you die.
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
So I don't think these people are all at the starvation point yet, but it's getting dangerous.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
So the question isn't, open up the government, open up the economy right now and let people get sick.
No.
It's, how much longer can we wait before people start dying?
We've already seen suicides.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
So people have died.
And not only let me ask you this, you quarantine is costing people's lives.
They're suffering and some people have already committed suicide.
Why would you rather people die than just let them work and earn and get food?
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Both of those are false.
adam crigler
Well, and the fact that the economy is what brings the food to the stores.
So we need the wheels to start moving again, or you can't even go to a store and get food anymore.
That's part of it.
So people are going to die without food, people are going to die from the coronavirus, but if we just hunker down and stay in our houses, everybody's going to die.
lydia smith
It's not going to work.
tim pool
Well, the system will collapse, riots will happen.
adam crigler
The system will collapse, exactly.
tim pool
So I saw these stories where they're like, the farmers are dumping milk and dumping crops?
And the food banks are out of food?
Why don't we just send the farmer's food to the food banks, right?
lydia smith
Seems simple.
tim pool
That's what they were saying.
They were actually saying, guess what?
A farmer came out and said, what is a food bank gonna do with an 8,000 gallon tanker of raw milk?
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
It's gotta go to a processing plant, then it's gotta be sent out to bottling plants, to cheese factories, to whatever.
adam crigler
Right.
And all of those places are closed.
lydia smith
Right, no one's there.
tim pool
Because the chain is broken.
adam crigler
Because everybody's quarantined.
That's the point.
tim pool
People don't buy milk.
So the processing plant doesn't buy, you know, bottles, doesn't buy milk.
So the dairy farmers say, dump it, I guess.
adam crigler
The whole machine that is our society, that we live in, requires people to be working, and the, you know, the supply lines to move, and every machine to be working along those lines.
So right now there's like, you know, we have the essentials way out at the end, which is the grocery store and the very emergency, like the nurses and the doctors and like the sewage line runners, like everything that is working right now.
But that's only going to last so long before it's too late.
And then people start dying from every other reason.
tim pool
Oh, no.
Yeah, the food riots start first.
adam crigler
I agree.
The food riots are going to happen first.
tim pool
We've already had chaos ensue, as it was described by a local news outlet, when a food bank said, you've got to pre-register.
And people showed up and said, no, we want food anyway.
We didn't register.
And so they say, and the story chaos broke out, erupted.
adam crigler
It's not surprising.
tim pool
So the food banks are at like 40% left.
They're getting there.
What happens when they run out of food?
And then you have miles long cars.
I'll tell you what, man.
You get down to the last 20 boxes, maybe even 100 boxes, and you're gonna see people get out of their cars, run full speed, jump the fence, knock someone down, and take that box.
No one's gonna let their mother go hungry, let their son, their daughter go hungry.
So yeah, we need that economy.
adam crigler
I agree.
tim pool
All right, but now I gotta speed things up, so I apologize if we don't get to your comments, but we're gonna start, we got a lot of Super Chats to go through.
adam crigler
You know, I know what you're about to do, too, and I just wanna say one of my buddies, Andrew Mason, did a Super Chat, and I saw you, Andrew, I don't know if you're still listening, but we're gonna have to skip your Super Chat, sorry.
Sorry, buddy.
But I saw it and it was good.
tim pool
I've never played it.
I've never had.
I did hear that.
take over it will be like I've never played it. Nev

we might have to even ext know what man keep extend
You know I used to tell my friends when I was little?
Like when I was an early teenager, they'd be like, I can't go out and skate because my parents are mad at me and I'm grounded.
And I'd be like, and?
And they'd be like, well I'm grounded, they said I can't go out.
So what will happen if you go out?
I'll get grounded longer.
unidentified
Huh.
tim pool
And then, let's say you get grounded longer.
What would happen if you go out again?
I'll get grounded for, like, even longer.
I'm like, you don't see what I'm telling you, like, you can just go out.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
That was a bad influence.
lydia smith
Oh, you were a horrible influence.
adam crigler
Terrible.
lydia smith
Holy cow.
tim pool
And then, like, the lightbulb appeared, and they're like, I can just go out.
adam crigler
See you at the skate park.
tim pool
Let's go!
adam crigler
Oh my gosh.
tim pool
I'm like, so when you get grounded again, what are they gonna do?
And then they took his skateboard.
lydia smith
Oh, man.
adam crigler
That's your fault, Tim.
tim pool
But then he, like, got a dummy skateboard and gave... they took the dummy one.
Like, come on, man.
We know what we're doing.
You can't keep us down.
adam crigler
Oh, Walmart board, huh?
tim pool
We're not gonna get to the full segment.
adam crigler
PSA, don't ever get a Walmart board.
Get a real board.
tim pool
We're not gonna get to this, but we have this story that's really funny.
So, in San Clemente, California, they filled a skate park with 37 tons of sand because the skateboarders are ignoring no trespassing signs.
Look at these guys are doing.
They just swept up the sand and they're skating on it anyway.
lydia smith
Look at These are skaters you got a 5050.
Oh my god.
adam crigler
Oh hit the sand, but that's that's that's cool You know the coolest thing ever happening all over the place people are sending me different Different clips different some there's metal ramps where they're welding like bars So you can't you would hit the bar, and they're doing they're just making skateboarding cool fertilizer like this is sand sand sucks But like there's dude they're putting fertilizer.
tim pool
They're putting dirt on When would you ever have the opportunity to film a segment where there's sand everywhere and you draw a path and then get that tray flip over the bump with the sand all around you and it flies up in the air.
adam crigler
Put some sand on the board so you get a little sand spray too.
tim pool
Slow-mo it so the board's flipping and the sand is spraying.
They don't get it, man.
When they try and stop skaters, they make it more fun.
adam crigler
Yeah, hello, have you not figured it out?
Skaters are gonna skate.
Yeah, it's gonna happen.
I'm sorry, you can't stop the skaters, man.
tim pool
This is why I frequently said that when, like, the skateboarders I know and, like, the pros hit me up telling me, like, you're right about this stuff, I'm like, when you've lost, when the left has lost skateboarders, you can't get more anti-authoritarian than this.
They're anti-authority.
They're, like, they have disregard for authority.
unidentified
They do not care.
tim pool
Like, there's no, that's it, it's a 10 out of 10.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Nothing you're gonna do.
They will break into your school, they will ignore all of your signs, and when you come to arrest them, they run.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I don't know.
I don't encourage it.
But hey, man.
All right, let's read some more.

Andrew says, I think the reason they are calling Trump a fascist is because they have nothing else to call him.
That's what they have been calling him since day one.
Yeah, they're out of things to say.
Boohoo Kitty says, Lydia, it's great to finally see you.
You're such a beautiful and smart young woman.
lydia smith
Why, thank you.
tim pool
Justin Forrest says, it's weird but not surprising to see all the people who screamed about fascism when Trump does anything suddenly just say nothing when state governments violate the Constitution.
It's as if it's veiled partisan BS.
lydia smith
Almost as if, yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, almost, huh?
adam crigler
It's crazy, actually.
tim pool
Hypocrisy.
adam crigler
I can't believe it, yo.
tim pool
Stacy Ellis, thanks for the super chat.
D. Walt says, thanks for all the hard work and real news.
Appreciate it.
Student of History says, when revolutionaries break into prison, it's called liberation.
We are in lockdown.
Many people can't leave their homes at the threat of police interference in their lives.
Are we not imprisoned?
You know, sort of.
There is a fair point that we've got a pandemic.
And I'm willing to be like, I'm going to stay home.
You know what?
I don't want to get sick.
adam crigler
It's true.
tim pool
They're saying in South Korea, it's reactivating.
160 people got sick again.
It was dormant.
You might catch this and it never goes away.
adam crigler
It's scary.
We don't know.
That's the thing.
We don't know.
tim pool
I think the government's known more than they're letting on.
With these reactivations, I think they suspected something and they were like, we gotta lock everything down.
Because you keep seeing people say, we don't lock down for the flu.
Maybe it's because this is worse.
Like, have you considered that?
adam crigler
Or that we simply also don't know.
And some people might know that it's worse.
lydia smith
It's almost like it's worse.
tim pool
Weird.

Gary says, Happy Friday, Beanie Brigade.
Just spent my Trump change on a new blaster.
Do you think Comrade Sanders would be happy I had the government pay for a constitutional right?
lydia smith
I think so.
I think he would feel honored.
tim pool
Take those Trump bucks.
Take them down to your local self-defense shop.
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
And do what you need to do.
unidentified
Trump bucks.
adam crigler
I have a feeling a lot of people did that.
tim pool
Yeah, a lot of people did.
adam crigler
Totally, dude.

Matt Hatter says, hospitals won't be overwhelmed now if we open.
That was the whole point, wasn't it?
The goal was to flatten the curve, not stop in its tracks.
We've already won.
That's a good point.
New York is saying that they've got negative hospitalizations now.
More people are leaving than are coming in.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
All right then.
So we don't reopen right now, they're saying in one month.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But they're going to slowly start reopening as of now.
adam crigler
Which is good because there are certain things, like I was saying, the cogs in the wheel need to move, you know, bring some more, like label more things essential to get the lubricant of the machine moving so we can still get food and not go hungry.
tim pool
Hydro says, hey fellas, I'm officially unemployed.
Here's some Trump bucks for keeping me sane.
I filed for unemployment insurance, but I do have a job interview Monday.

Good luck on Monday.

Kyle Miller says, this pandemic has only confirmed my theory that if there was a boogaloo between urban and rural centers, the urban areas would have food shortages in the first month, thus shorten Civil War 2.0.
adam crigler
That's a good point.

For sure.
Nate, thanks for joining.

Thank you.

Eggman says, you guys ever consider hanging something on the wall back there?
Maybe a flag?
Or maybe that collection of beanies Tim and Adam have acquired over the years from other beanie bearers?
adam crigler
Well, ideally, we'll have a guest here often.
lydia smith
A flag could be cool too, though.
tim pool
But we got two spaces.
We can put stuff up.
We'll figure it out.
adam crigler
Honestly, maybe two guitars would be cool.
We're both musicians and skaters.
Maybe a guitar and a skateboard.
It would represent both of us.
tim pool
Yeah.
Well, you know what?
That's a good point.
adam crigler
Let's figure out what to put there.
Arbor's got some really beautiful boards.
I should have hit up Arbor.
tim pool
And we can put a poster for them or something.
That'd be cool.
adam crigler
Arbor board up there.

No, you should not.

Agreed.

Carl Schneider says, questions. How many times do we give CNN the benefit of the doubt and say it's
incompetence and laziness? At what point are we going to finally admit the entire company is the
enemy of the people? CNN is truly useless. Well, CNN.com is kind of fine because they have random
people writing. They've done like a bunch of op eds. But let me just tell you, I'm not going to
sit here and tell you it's incompetence and laziness.
Chris Cuomo claimed he was locked down and frustrated, trapped in his basement, sweating, when he confirmed a witness account that he was out and about with two women and three kids.
He was not quarantined.
He was lying.
CNN was lying.
They pretended he was quarantined.
He admitted he wasn't.
Now they're still going on TV and lying about it.
So you know what?
Nah.
Not incompetence.
Malice.

Jeremy Griffin says, long time listener, first time Super Chatter.
Any thoughts on the quartering mentioning the arrested tabletop MTG store owner who dared run a curbside?
Thanks.
Frighteningly, you guys are my news.
I didn't hear about that.
adam crigler
I didn't hear about that either.
lydia smith
Somebody sent me that, and I didn't have a chance to read it.
tim pool
Ooh, we should totally pull it up for Monday or something.
He was doing like a storefront thing?
lydia smith
Yeah, I guess so.
tim pool
Like out in front?
adam crigler
How is that not okay though?
The curbside pickup?
Like, you know, you tell them what you want and they come out and give it to you?
tim pool
Wow, man.
adam crigler
What's wrong with that?

Dude, it's getting crazy.
Jorge Crespo says, thank you for all your hard work from a Chi-Town conservative.
Hey, here, here.

No, Chai.

adam crigler
It's Chai-Town.

Yeah, Chai-Town.
adam crigler
Alright.

You said that I say Chai-Town, so I said Chai-Town.
adam crigler
Sounded like Chai-Town.

I say it both ways.

Eric Heffel... Eric Heffelfinger says, government... Alright, we're good.
tim pool
Government has law enforcement to police us.
We have the Second Amendment to police them.
If this continues, we may see just how effective it can be.
adam crigler
Well, it's not just about the Second... I hope it doesn't come to that.
tim pool
It's about the First, and the Second, and the Fourth, and the Fifth, and the Tenth, and the Ninth.
lydia smith
All of them.
tim pool
Yes, the Bill of Rights, basically.
lydia smith
We have a Bill of Rights, yes.
tim pool
Well, no, the first ten is basically, you know, because we have the one where it's like, you can't have booze, and then two amendments later it's like, we repealed that one about the booze.
lydia smith
Yeah, forget about that one.
unidentified
I love that.
tim pool
How did that become a constitutional amendment?
No booze!
lydia smith
I don't know.
They got everyone to agree.
adam crigler
Ridiculous.
tim pool
Let's see.
Grant says, I'm sure that someone has already brought it up.
The Young Turks as an organization have continued to deny the Armenian genocide, who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians, a certain World War II dictator.
lydia smith
I recall.
tim pool
Yeah, well, he apologized for it.
I'm pretty sure Cenk apologized and said he was wrong.
lydia smith
And yet they're still called the Young Turks.
tim pool
That's messed up.
Yeah, that's really messed up.
The Young Turks is, right?
No, I don't.
Imagine if the Young Turks' name was called the Hitler Youth.
adam crigler
Seriously?
lydia smith
Yeah, same.
Similar.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
So, the one thing I'll be fair on is the Young Turks uses a general reference to rebellious youth.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
However, it's used that way because of the Young Turks in the Armenian Genocide.
adam crigler
Man.
tim pool
Yeah, and there have been Armenians protesting him.
And they won't change the name.
Damn, that's messed up.
adam crigler
That's crazy to me.
That's messed up.
I had no idea.
tim pool
They could easily change it to something that, like, they could call themselves TYT.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And then call it, like, the young, you know, tribunists.
Or, like, you know, the young teammates.
adam crigler
Or just not have it say anything.
Just be TYT.
tim pool
Right, exactly.
adam crigler
That's it.
Done.
Let it go.

David says, hi Tim and gang, my question tonight is, what do you guys think of drones eventually being converted to over-to-recreational vehicles, skybikes, and forms of transportation?
I don't think that will happen.
adam crigler

tim pool
That's what I see.
Dual propeller, like flying motorcycle thing?
adam crigler
Yeah, I've seen that.
tim pool
Maybe if we have...
No, I don't see it happening.
Because they fall.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
And then they hit people on the bottom, down on the ground.
Yeah.
Should we just keep reading Super Chats?
Because we're running out of time.
Should we just jump to the Mega Drought story?

Geez.

Coke, calm down Mike Bloomberg, JK Budd, but giving you a hard time.
Hope Lydia's doing well and soy for the soy god.

You know, I wouldn't get a gallon of Coke and...

Let's see here. I do like my pizza though.

It's good.
lydia smith
They told us.
tim pool
They told us what to do with it.
says strippers and cocaine. All right there you go. All right they told us.
They told us what to do with it. A crafty says Tim and Soy Jesus do you
think about weed liquor stores being essential businesses well while religion
places are shut down because the government tax on alcohol and weed. Oh is
that why they're doing it? Oh maybe. Yeah that makes sense.
The thing about booze, you take people's booze away, they kind of go crazy.
adam crigler
Well, for both, weed and booze, it's the same.
That's a lot of people's vice.
tim pool
Calms them down.
adam crigler
I mean, not everyone is very emotionally stable, and sometimes alcohol is the wrong thing for them, but a lot of times people just take the edge off, and right now, it's pretty edgy.
We're quarantined in.
People are giving up.
They're going crazy.
tim pool
But the government doesn't have a right to tell you you can't worship.
adam crigler
I absolutely agree with that.
I agree with that.
lydia smith
That kind of makes sense.
adam crigler
It's messed up.
But that's a good point.
tim pool
You know what really bothers me about the people who say, like, tax the churches?
It's like, I agree, and then we'll tax every 501c3.
Because churches are basically just charities.
lydia smith
They give a lot, yeah.
tim pool
You donate.
It's not even about whether they do or don't.
A lot of non-profits don't.
People donate to them anyway, and they keep 98% or whatever, 92% for their salaries.
So if somebody chooses to give their money, it's like, stop playing games, man.
People give their money where they want to give it.
Joey Giggles says, But Tim has Soy Jesus, who's really lucky.

FauxFire says Dr. Phil's Ph.D.
is real, but while he followed his education with a year of postdoctoral training at the Wilmington Institute, Dr. Phil is not a licensed psychologist.
Conclusion, not a doctor.
He has a Ph.D.
lydia smith
I don't think it matters if... The requirement is to have the Ph.D.?
tim pool
Yeah, I don't think it matters if he's got a license for psychology.
adam crigler
Doesn't Ph.D.
equal you're a doctor now?
tim pool
But what do you mean a license for psychology?
He's not a psychiatrist.
lydia smith
He's not practicing.

Practicing what?
A psychiatrist?
Psychiatrists are medical doctors, not psychologists.

Patrick Musson says, the root of most evil in the crisis is that there is still lobbying going on in DC.
In times of crisis, lobbying should be put on hold at the very least.
I mean, it's a free speech issue, isn't it?
I don't know how you deal with that.
adam crigler
It's like, it's the money that's involved in it.
tim pool
But everybody lobbies.
adam crigler
Someone made a really good point to me, though.
It's like, it's not just the evil corporations that lobby, you know?
It's like, there's good... Non-profits.
Yeah, there's good lobbying, and I failed to see that.
And, you know, it's okay to learn, and that's one of those things.

John Maguire says, what do you make of Cuomo indicating that vaccines will be mandatory to go back to school?
Freaky stuff.
I really just hate the idea of government mandated medication.
Agreed.
Has a fine line, though.
Like, if this is legit, reactivating?
adam crigler
Right.
If this is something that will eventually kill off the human population because it's that bad, I'll take the vaccine.
tim pool
Let me ask you.
We've seen now in multiple countries that people who got sick got sick again.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
If they told you right now, we'll give you a vaccine, you'll never get sick.
Would you take it?
adam crigler
I mean, I would need to know more information.
I'm very iffy about that kind of stuff.
I want to know more.
Like, has it been... I mean, they're testing.
They started testing in Seattle.
tim pool
Let's say they test it.
They say it's approved.
We pushed it through like it went quick, but we got the testing done.
We think it's safe.
And if you get COVID, it will keep coming back forever, or we get you the vaccine right now.
adam crigler
Yeah, I feel like I'd take it.
tim pool
I lean towards getting the vaccine.
lydia smith
Yeah, I'd get it.
tim pool
And it's worrying to me because I'm like, I don't like the idea of having something sped through.
Agreed, I agree.
Who knows what the long-term effects will end up being.
lydia smith
Well, how do we know how long it should take a vaccine to get through?
tim pool
I know.
lydia smith
How do we know that it can't be like a year and a half?
adam crigler
That's a good point.
lydia smith
It takes forever.
We have miles and miles of red tape.
Here's our chance to see how fast we can get a freaking vaccine through.
See how fast we can do it.
adam crigler
Yep, they said 18 months.
tim pool
I would not want to get a lung virus that keeps coming back.
adam crigler

I play blue.
I've got mana drains, negates, swan songs, and a pact of negation waiting in the rafters, baby.

You know, I pact of negation somebody sometime, and then they blew up all my lands, and I lost the game.
lydia smith
Oh no!
adam crigler
You can't just... Just warning you.
tim pool
Let me try and explain it in a way that's not esoteric, right?
So imagine the Gathering fans understand the reference, and I'm sure there's a decent amount of you.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But to put it this way is, if you know your opponent may have a counter to what you're planning on doing, I mean, like, in any aspect of the real world.
Like, you're in a sword fight, and you know that if you go for this move, they might block it.
You don't just say, I won't do anything.
You've got to play through.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
Otherwise, you'll just lose.
You'll be sitting there saying, like, imagine if the boxer, it's like a boxing match, and the one guy was just blocking the whole time.
Okay, well, you know what?
If you don't go on the offensive, you lose.
That's it.
adam crigler
Sounds like Meriwether versus Pacquiao.
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
Yeah, right.
tim pool
Well, sometimes you can tire him out, right?
adam crigler
He put a couple punches in there, but he's fine.
lydia smith
Yeah, barely.

Alright, let's see where we are.

I don't understand why this is so lost on a lot of people.
I was watching this like house building show and they were like cool houses in the world and there was this one house in like Northern England or something.
There's this couple building this crazy house on this cliff and they were talking about like, isn't this cliff eroding?
And they're like, yeah.
I'm like, well, so in like 80 years, your house is going to fall in.
Yeah, we'll be dead though.
And it's like, what?
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Where's your head then?
Like, why, why would you think that in that way?
That you're just going to live it out and then it'll fall in and well, no, that's it.
tim pool
Maybe they'll get a surprise storm in the road and, uh, seven in, you know, 79 years instead of 80.
And then, uh, they'll regret their decision.

Would you do a video promoting your mom's math YouTube channel a lot of kids and parents would love?
Well, yes, I've mentioned it.
I try to be careful because flooding someone's YouTube channel with subscribers who aren't actually interested is a really bad thing.
There was one video that went viral on YouTube where this kid was drawing dinosaurs, and everyone was like, let's all subscribe to this kid!
And it was the worst thing they could have done.
So the kid goes from having very few subs to overnight getting hundreds of thousands.
And then within a month or two, nobody watched any of his videos, and he felt like he did something wrong.
And he got depressed and sad.
Little kid said, all of a sudden, no one cares about me anymore.
lydia smith
Oh, man.
tim pool
He didn't understand.
It also destroys the YouTube channel, because YouTube says, oof.
What do you think about the Boogaloo crowd?
How do you feel this plays into encroaching government authority in the pandemic?
Yeah. Jared Milner says, what do you think about the Boogaloo crowd? How do you feel this plays into encroaching
government authority in the pandemic? Do you think there's a possibility for a 1776 style revolution?
Hmm. I don't know about 1776, but I do think we're dangerously close to total breakdown.
I'm really bullish on breakdown.
When you watch these food lines, miles long, I mean, look, we've gone through crisis before.
It's not the worst it's ever been.
But with everything happening around the world, we're closer than we've been in a long time.
Yeah, borders between states.

Instagram is not the best place to get a hold of me Twitter is absolutely the easiest way so tweet at me

I, you know, I post something on there, but that's pretty much the... It's hard to communicate on Instagram.
Yeah, I don't, I don't like communicating on Instagram.
Twitter's much easier.

Bobby Luck says, Tim, I got your reference.

Big old bins.

We just put them in the closet.

Yeah.

Adam should make a video of him singing Country Roads.

Okay.

Should do it.

Great.
adam crigler
All right.
tim pool
We got a 12 string right there.
lydia smith
You got your $9.99.

tim pool
We got, we got one more super chat.

We accept both currencies.

I've had people ask me, like, how come you get so many shares on your content?
And I'm like, I ask people to do it.
And some of them do, I don't know.
adam crigler
But I do see some of you are sharing it, and even my mom was like, oh yeah, I was talking to my friend about your show, and he freaked out that you're my son!
He had no idea!
I was like, oh mom.
She was proud of me.

Final thought, again, in all sincerity.
YouTube gives institutional power to CNN, to MSNBC, to Fox News, to these big, powerful, multi-million dollar or billion dollar companies, and we are but humble, you know, basement dwellers.
lydia smith
Podcast merchants?
tim pool
Podcast merchants coming to you with content that we find interesting, and we do not have that ability, and YouTube actually suppresses us relative to them.
Here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
Who's gonna willfully promote CNN for them?
Nobody.
So if you actually like the show and you decide to hit that share button or post it somewhere, that is 10 times more powerful than anything YouTube could do for CNN.
But I'll leave it there.
Thanks for hanging out everybody.
We will be back Monday at 8 p.m.
and we will see you then.
lydia smith
Bye guys.
