Hello, everyone, and welcome to the TimCast IRL podcast. | ||
My name is Tim Poole, and joining me tonight is... You know it! | ||
Adam Krigler. | ||
That's right, it's me, Adam Krigler. | ||
How you doing, guys? | ||
Thanks for joining us. | ||
Appreciate you. | ||
unidentified
|
Joining us tonight as well will be... Lydia, the producer, Sour Patch Lids. | |
Sour Patch Lids, we have an excellent show for you tonight. | ||
We'll be talking about comedy, social justice warriors destroying it. | ||
Adam, please, share with me your expert opinion. | ||
Well Tim, let me tell you, I'm not an expert, but I'll share my opinion with you. | ||
There's a cat walking around. | ||
What are we doing? | ||
I was just going with the flow there. | ||
You know, here's what I was thinking, man. | ||
I'm wondering why it is that all of these podcasts do so well on iTunes and stuff, and they all sound like that. | ||
Like all of these prestigious podcasts. | ||
It's so monotone. | ||
You know, maybe we should really slow it down a little bit. | ||
I can't stand, I hate podcasts. | ||
Do you? | ||
Why because it's like all of these people well, it's not it's not the podcast in general | ||
I like doing them and I like there's a lot of my like yeah, but it's like so many people | ||
Just do the exact same things for podcasts. Okay, look at these stupid microphones. These don't even great | ||
What are you talking only reason anybody uses these? | ||
No, but it's not that it's like everybody Very... | ||
I just got a mad splinter on this table. | ||
Dude, this table got me already. | ||
I got a huge splinter. | ||
The table's taking victims. | ||
It was in my finger for like a full week. | ||
It's true, it was like Chinese torture. | ||
Because it was like in the side of the nail. | ||
You guys know what I'm talking about? | ||
What are we talking about right now? | ||
I got a splinter right in the middle of my- the point I was making. | ||
Anyway, the point I was gonna make is- What is the point you were trying to make, Tim? | ||
Listen to all these podcasts, and they do the same thing with music, and they do this- they talk in the same way, and it's like, you'll turn on some podcast and like, it'll be like- So recently I was watching a TV show, and then it'll go like- In the background, and I'm like, it's all the same thing. | ||
I just can't stand it. | ||
Wait, but you mentioned they do music. | ||
Yeah, we don't do that. | ||
Do they do music how we're gonna do music? | ||
We're gonna do live music! | ||
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
Make sure all of you who are tuning in... That's right, we are! | ||
Stick around, because at the end of the show, we've got the jam cam set up. | ||
And, um, it's preliminary, but I guess we figured, you know, we'll play some songs. | ||
Adam and I both play music, we're gonna jam out. | ||
But the lead story of tonight! | ||
The media is claiming that fans of Rick and Morty are demanding a boycott! | ||
unidentified
|
Claiming. | |
Which is the most insane fake news I have ever heard. | ||
But in this context, we also have a great tweet, a tweet from the great Count Dankulo. | ||
It's so true. | ||
about comedy that we thought would be interesting to talk about. | ||
It's so true. | ||
In terms of, you know, just what's going on. | ||
It was it was a point he made about the era of comedy. | ||
We have all these stories and we got a bunch of other stuff, you know, aliens, | ||
anti-grav technology, weird stuff. | ||
The sun is going into lockdown. | ||
This is this is the episodes I live for. | ||
It's gonna be awesome. | ||
We're gonna have an Ice Age. | ||
That's what they're saying right now. | ||
They didn't say exactly that. | ||
I mean, if it continued on forever, then yes. | ||
But it has happened before and it's happening again. | ||
And I love the Daily Mail article shows like Big Ben buried in ice. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
Okay, okay, calm down. | ||
Hyperbolic. | ||
But it is interesting because one of the arguments made by a lot of conservatives in reference to climate change is that, one of the arguments I should say, is that it's solar activity which causes it. | ||
And now that there's going to be some kind of solar minimum, they're saying, it's going to get really cold. | ||
It does kind of feel like that. | ||
It's weird. | ||
It felt cold. | ||
Today was like the first hot day, I feel, of this year. | ||
Fire outside. | ||
Nice! | ||
We had a good skate session. | ||
We definitely did. | ||
unidentified
|
So if you're just tuning in, make sure you smash that like button! | |
Smash it! | ||
unidentified
|
Smash it! | |
You know what? | ||
I will go ahead and like this ramp. | ||
It really does help. | ||
I just liked it. | ||
And you know what? | ||
I'm also gonna share it right now. | ||
unidentified
|
Share this! | |
I'm gonna share it. | ||
That is a good thing. | ||
I'm gonna do it. | ||
It's a good thing. | ||
Right now, I'm doing it. | ||
unidentified
|
Hold on. | |
I have already done it. | ||
Boom. | ||
I just did it. | ||
I shared it. | ||
Sharing helps. | ||
Sharing is caring. | ||
We have to go up against the mainstream media. | ||
And of course, we're better than them because we're debunking them right now. | ||
Yes, we are. | ||
I can't stand it, dude. | ||
Me neither. | ||
You know what the thing is, though? | ||
I'm thinking about a world where there's no fake news. | ||
And it's like, I'm imagining everybody, you know, standing in a field holding hands, like, dancing back and forth like rainbows. | ||
Wait, wait. | ||
Cut over to Lydia. | ||
unidentified
|
Cut to Lydia. | |
Oh, hold on. | ||
I can cut to Lydia. | ||
You can't see him. | ||
You can see his ears. | ||
He jumped on her lap. | ||
I'm imagining people with cats and the cats are running around and cats are chasing butterflies and there's like people having a picnic and they're smiling and laughing. | ||
People of all races and creeds are all, you know, dancing and frolicking. | ||
Singing songs. | ||
Sharing their culture. | ||
I'm sitting on a couch just like laying back eating a bowl of nachos like My work here is done. | ||
That's it. | ||
That's not the world we live in. | ||
That's very good, Tim. | ||
The world we live in is the one where the corporations, like the big tech corporations, prop up large, powerful media corporations who are large and powerful because they lie. | ||
That's the name of the game. | ||
Yeah, I'm sick of it. | ||
You write a fake story, you get a million views, you make, you know, a bunch of money, depending on how you're selling. | ||
Some people, some of these big networks have like a $40, $50 CPM. | ||
Whoa. | ||
It should be 50 grand off this fake article. | ||
And the next day you go, sorry about that, oops. | ||
For those who don't know, what's a CPM? | ||
I think it's how much money you make per thousand views. | ||
I think it means clicks per million. | ||
I'm not a marketing analytics person, so I just have a cursory knowledge. | ||
CPMs... I do know a little bit in terms of how these big companies operate. | ||
I would get in trouble if I named the company, but a big digital company was getting a $40 CPM on YouTube. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
Yeah. | ||
Because they demanded premium from YouTube. | ||
So most people get like two to four dollars. | ||
Okay, so that's a huge boost. | ||
So they said, if people want to advertise on our channel, it costs extra. | ||
And so they're making mad money. | ||
So you put out fake news, you know, Donald Trump threw a bag of puppies off a bridge. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You get a million and one clicks, and then everyone complains about it. | ||
They're like, you're fake news! | ||
And they're like, oh no, oh they're yelling at us and attacking us. | ||
How much money did we make? | ||
unidentified
|
That's great. | |
Do a correction tomorrow. | ||
Take it back tomorrow. | ||
And then the next day they're like, how many views of the correction get? | ||
Only 30,000? | ||
How much money would make off that one? | ||
A couple grand? | ||
Excellent. | ||
Do it again. | ||
So, you know, I'm not going to accuse a lot of these companies of doing it on purpose, but I will say They're not unhappy when... Yeah, they don't care. | ||
Fake news happens. | ||
Like this. | ||
Let's get into this. | ||
Let's read the news. | ||
Let's read this. | ||
Rick and Morty season 4. | ||
Why are fans threatening to boycott Rick and Morty? | ||
Well, see, already they're wrong. | ||
Because true fans love Rick and Morty. | ||
Oh, yeah, then I appreciate it. | ||
Well, right. | ||
That's the point. | ||
The headline is wrong. | ||
Fans are threatening? | ||
Hold on. | ||
Where's your source, media? | ||
Twitter. | ||
Twitter, huh? | ||
The Karens on Twitter? | ||
I'm sorry, that was an assumption, but I have a feeling. | ||
Totally correct. | ||
Check it out. | ||
unidentified
|
We got this story. | |
We got this story. | ||
Oh man, all over the place. | ||
It's all the same thing, let me read it. | ||
Independent, Rick and Morty fans threatened to boycott show over 9-11 and Pearl Harbor jokes. | ||
One viewer accused the jokes of adding fuel to the xenophobia of Islam. | ||
One viewer. | ||
Here's another one. | ||
Furious, Rick and Morty fans threatened to boycott show over controversial 9-11 joke. | ||
Wait, wait, hold on, hold on, I got this. | ||
No, they don't. | ||
I got this, ready? | ||
Okay, Boomer. | ||
Yeah, there you go. | ||
They're not even boomers, dude. | ||
Is this, like, the perfect time? | ||
Dude, I think these are millennials. | ||
Well, who's upset about that, then? | ||
I think there are. | ||
Well, I'm a millennial. | ||
So am I. And I do not care. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Some boomers... I get Rick and Morty. | ||
It's great. | ||
It's good comedy. | ||
Yeah, you're the outlier, bro. | ||
Well, actually not. | ||
I think they are, but they're loud. | ||
Yes, I think that's what it is. | ||
You've got, look, Gen Xers mostly don't care. | ||
Boomers mostly don't care. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
You've got a lot of Karen boomers, though. | ||
Yeah, they really care. | ||
It's millennials, man. | ||
They care enough for everyone. | ||
Yeah, they do, unfortunately. | ||
That's the problem. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Millennials and some of Gen Z. Look at this. | ||
Rick and Morty fans took to Twitter in a rage as they said they would boycott the animated show due to its use of 9-11 and Pearl Harbor jokes. | ||
Oh, there's more. | ||
The Daily Star. | ||
Rick and Morty fans boycott show. | ||
No, they don't. | ||
You see how they went from threatened to boycott to they have boycotted it? | ||
This is the toilet cycle of fake news. | ||
It begins. | ||
It's spinning around. | ||
They're all playing a game of telephone. | ||
Okay, spoiler alert for those that haven't seen the new episodes of Rick and Morty. | ||
I haven't. | ||
You're ruining it for me. | ||
They're gonna tell you the joke and you are going to laugh. | ||
And when I explain to you the context, you will laugh even harder. | ||
Because we're adults that understand what jokes are. | ||
There are even people, you know, who have made really offensive jokes. | ||
I think, who was it? | ||
Oh, it was Ellen. | ||
She said something about that she knows what it feels like to be in prison. | ||
Oh, yeah, yeah. | ||
Because everyone's wearing the same clothes and everyone's gay. | ||
And I was like, I have no problem with her making that joke. | ||
I just thought it was a stupid joke. | ||
Joe Rogan said he thought it was really funny. | ||
I'm like, I didn't. | ||
It's kind of funny. | ||
I was like, eh. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
I don't care. | ||
I don't think she should be shut down or banned for it. | ||
I agree. | ||
I think Jimmy Kimmel has really awful jokes, too. | ||
So does Stephen Colbert. | ||
So does all of them. | ||
Conan's okay, but he's... I like him more than the rest of them. | ||
I like Conan. | ||
He's funny. | ||
Have you seen that show that Conan does? | ||
Traveling around? | ||
Yeah, but he's done really stupid things. | ||
Yes, he has. | ||
He went to Haiti and was like, look how awesome it is! | ||
And it's like, that is extremely reckless because it is not... | ||
Look, man. | ||
There's all of these young women that are doing the solo female travel thing. | ||
Okay. | ||
And they're making all these videos where they're like, look at me! | ||
I went to Syria! | ||
Like, I kid you not. | ||
One chick went to Syria. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
It's like, dude. | ||
Like, you do not want to... And did she do that move, too? | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
She's like this in the photo, in the thumbnail, and it's like, solo female travel in Syria. | ||
Is there like a bunch of blown-out buildings behind her, too? | ||
Like, how do you do that in front of blown-out buildings? | ||
I'm not kidding. | ||
Look at me in front of these blown-out buildings! | ||
But she did go. | ||
I'm pretty sure she went to Aleppo. | ||
And listen, man, look, I got no beef. | ||
You wanna go travel the world and do all that stuff, that's fine. | ||
But if you don't explain the dangers of things, that's the problem. | ||
And Conan was like, things are great here in Haiti! | ||
And it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, bro. | ||
Like, I have done security consulting for people traveling to dangerous places, and it's not appropriate to dance around and act like parts of the world are completely and totally fine. | ||
Yeah. | ||
If you're going to take a photo of you chilling at a resort in Haiti, you need to provide the context to people. | ||
Like, make sure when you come here you've got your proper vaccinations, you have your contacts, you know, the embassy knows. | ||
Yeah, he probably had a big crew with him too. | ||
It's not like he's by himself. | ||
And tons of money. | ||
Let's get back to Rick and Morty. | ||
unidentified
|
So here's the story. | |
Fans of the hit animation Rick and Morty have threatened to boycott the series over its inclusion of controversial jokes about the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 9-11. | ||
Of all the things they could have been offended by, these are the least. | ||
Like, if they at least said white privilege or something, I'd be like, oh. | ||
During a new episode of the series called Promo Promortius, The characters Rick and Morty are seen flying towards two | ||
skyscraper towers in a clear reference to 9-11. | ||
After swerving to avoid them, Rick quips, Honestly, I'm proud of us for not. | ||
Totally. Would have been cheap, replies Morty. | ||
Rick then says, Pearl Harbor on the other hand, before flying towards an alien harbor and bombing it. | ||
Oh my gosh. It is very funny. Oh man. | ||
Later in the episode, the characters banter about the incident with Beth, Rick's daughter, asking, so you did a 9-11? | ||
And Maury replies, almost did a 9-11. | ||
We went with a Pearl Harbor. | ||
We were pretty classy. | ||
unidentified
|
Fans have taken to Twitter to voice their discomfort with the jokes. | |
Is Rick and Morty still doing 9-11 jokes, asked one viewer, adding, because wow that's so funny in 2020. | ||
in 2020. Yeah, it gets funnier with time. That's the point. | ||
I just imagine like there's a bunch of like, I don't know, our age, anyone, it doesn't matter who's who likes Rick and | ||
Morty watching it. And the moms like walking down the hallway | ||
and like, what was that joke? What? | ||
Wait, go back, go back. | ||
Let me hear that again. | ||
No, it's not the Boomers, man. | ||
I don't know what it is. | ||
It's Millennials. | ||
The Millennials are the SJWs. | ||
No, I'll tell you what happened. | ||
I don't get it. | ||
I'll tell you what happened. | ||
The SJWs are sitting in their offices at the independents, other companies, and they're like, well, it's lockdown. | ||
They're like, ooh, this'll get clicks. | ||
No, they're sitting in a room, and a guy's got one of those cylindrical cages they use for bingo, where you crank the thing. | ||
And there's a bunch of things bobbing around, and the Spanish flute is playing in the background while they're all like laying there hot in the summer heat. | ||
And you hear it like... And the guy's just like lazily churning this thing. | ||
And then the music stops and he goes, ding! | ||
And he goes, okay everybody, today's outrage is... Shuffles in, he goes, Rick and Morty 9-11 jokes. | ||
And they go, start writing! | ||
And they all start writing. | ||
Everybody's angry! | ||
Oh, I found stuff on Twitter! | ||
unidentified
|
People are angry on Twitter, who knew? | |
Others picked up on a different aspect of the joke, with one commenter writing, He did that before, too. | ||
to the 9-11 joke. Personally, I was fine with it until Rick said, | ||
ask the Saudis. Just adding fuel to the xenophobia of Islam and the Middle East | ||
when you could have easily made a George Bush or US government joke. | ||
He did that before too. Another fan wrote, boycotting Rick and Morty. | ||
This is such fake, fake news. | ||
The number one post on the Rick and Morty subreddit is, no. | ||
No, we don't. | ||
Rick and Morty fans threaten boycott and they link to The Independent and says, no, we don't. | ||
And they really, really don't. | ||
No. | ||
You know what it is? | ||
They're getting paid to look for this kind of stuff. | ||
So it's not that they even care. | ||
They're not boycotting it. | ||
They're looking for any way to make an article that'll get clicks, because they get paid for that, and now we're in a time where, like, we need any way to get clicks. | ||
This will work. | ||
They probably write the tweets themselves. | ||
I'll stop short of directly accusing any individual, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're using sock puppet Twitter accounts to be like, oh, Rick and Morty is offensive because of 9-11. | ||
Because of 9-11? | ||
Are you kidding me? | ||
You think the people who watch the show are funded by that? | ||
There was a joke in the Pickle Rick episode. | ||
Great episode. | ||
Great episode. | ||
He turns himself into a pickle, and then Morty walks in and he's like, | ||
Morty, I'm a pickle! | ||
And Morty's like, okay, is that all? | ||
And then Rick goes, I turned myself into a pickle, what do you want me to say? | ||
I turned myself into a pickle and 9-11 was an inside job? | ||
And it's like, it's hilarious. | ||
There's also a joke where, in the episode where they're in Rick's memory, when they're trying to extract the portal gun equation or whatever, he's like, he's like, I store this memory between, you know, I can't remember what it was, he was like, the morning of 9-11, and when, you know, I had like ice cream or something, and then as they're leaving, you hear very faintly in the background, you see him in the background by the TV, and he goes, oh, they're gonna use this to take away our freedoms! | ||
And it was like, it was funny! | ||
unidentified
|
Funny jokes. | |
I like it. | ||
So basically in the show, they're on this, um, it's like, it's like an asteroid. | ||
It's almost a planet, whatever. | ||
There's an alien civilization. | ||
And because they're Rick and Morty, they're like wreaking havoc and just blowing everything up. | ||
And they're laughing and they're like, this is really, really great. | ||
And Rick's like, Oh, I just needed to blow off some steam. | ||
And they're blowing people up. | ||
And he's like, man, it's like, it's like popping bubble wrap. | ||
And then all of a sudden they start flying up and there's two towers and they both look at each other like, ooh, and then they swerve out of the way. | ||
And that's where the joke comes in, where they're like, yeah, you know, I wouldn't feel good about that one. | ||
And then they look down and there's a harbor. | ||
It's like, well, I could do a Pearl Harbor though. | ||
It was hilarious. | ||
It was a great episode. | ||
The last episode, the latest one was really weird, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. | ||
But this is what we get from the media. | ||
I think this is all a culmination of things we've been talking about. | ||
Nothing's happening. | ||
We're so bored. | ||
It's like, what's the news? | ||
New Rick and Morty! | ||
News! | ||
We can complain about it! | ||
And then you know what's funny? | ||
We're sitting here going, oh look! | ||
They're pretending to be outraged about Rick and Morty! | ||
We can complain about it! | ||
unidentified
|
Let's do a podcast where we're doing the same thing! | |
But I feel like we're winning here though. | ||
It's a big conundrum that I've talked about quite a bit where it's like, Are we just as bad for engaging in the same bickering by calling them out for doing it? | ||
Or do they need to be called out for doing it? | ||
I think the latter. | ||
I personally think they need to be called out for doing it. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
Agreed. | ||
Like, it's, you know... Like I mentioned, I would love to see a world with no fake news. | ||
I'm just sitting on a couch eating nachos, like, nothing to do. | ||
It's like any one of these fans they're talking about. | ||
It's like, okay, what happens in season two, episode three? | ||
Go! | ||
And they'll be like... | ||
I don't know. | ||
I actually have never seen Rick and Morty. | ||
I don't know what season, which I can't off the top of my head tell you about season two. | ||
Yeah, no, I'm just going really extreme there. | ||
But if you made a reference to a bunch of episodes, I'd be like, oh, yeah, that episode. | ||
It's funny. | ||
You know, it's crazy. | ||
Like, let's do this. | ||
I want to pull up the legendary Count Dankula. | ||
Yes. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
I don't know if that makes him a lord, like being a count. | ||
I'm not sure. | ||
Yeah, what is a count? | ||
Let me Google. | ||
Well, as far as I'm concerned, he is of noble status in the culture war. | ||
He tweeted this. | ||
60s to the 80s, conservative Christian boomers canceling comedy. | ||
90s to the 2000s, absolute golden age where everything was allowed. | ||
10s and 20s, social justice screechers canceling comedy. | ||
So we've gone full circle. | ||
That's what it is, man. | ||
He's right. | ||
Yep, exactly. | ||
unidentified
|
Nailed it. | |
So, you know what I was thinking? | ||
There was a big wave of, like, edgy, anti-Semitic comedy. | ||
Like, ironic mocking of, like, Judaism and Jewish people. | ||
Sure. | ||
And I was wondering, like, it was popping up all over, you know, YouTube and stuff. | ||
Like, recently? | ||
In the past few years. | ||
Because you say that and I just think, like, Mel Brooks. | ||
Well, I mean... He hit up on everybody, basically. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
But there was a video... It was an OG comedy. | ||
We were watching a video recently. | ||
I think it was... I think it was like an Adventure Time compilation of Lemongrab. | ||
Okay. | ||
So that's also voiced by Justin Roiland, who did Rick and Morty. | ||
And then, like, I was showing you something about Lemongrab. | ||
I was like, you gotta see this, you know, I gotta give you the context. | ||
And all of a sudden, randomly, Adolf Hitler popped up. | ||
Yeah, because people do that to be edgy. | ||
I think it's funny to be like, ah, I'm offending you by doing this, right? | ||
Just randomly injecting this kind of stuff. | ||
And there was a period where people were doing this really, really edgy comedy. | ||
There's like, do you know what the Kekistani flag is? | ||
It's Kekistan. | ||
And I'm sure I'm not going to get the perfect context to explain it, but it's a fictitious country. | ||
Okay. | ||
And the flag is a, it's a parody of the, uh, like the, like the German Nazi flag or whatever. | ||
Not the swastika. | ||
I just pulled it up. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
It's the green and it's got like the 4chan leaves on it and it says kek or whatever. | ||
Okay. | ||
So it was like ironic. | ||
Nazism was like meant to be edgy. | ||
Okay. | ||
I was wondering like, what happened? | ||
Like, why did all of a sudden everybody think this was a funny thing to do? | ||
It's really, really obvious. | ||
unidentified
|
To piss off the people that get pissed off. | |
South Park. | ||
South Park. | ||
When I was a little kid, what did I hear non-stop on Comedy Central? | ||
Cartman screaming about the Jews. Okay, seriously like non-stop even to this day | ||
It's like it's just like a huge aspect of the show because Kyle is Jewish | ||
We were talking about it before the show but there's one one episode where | ||
Kyle is like about to die in a flood and he's and he's like Cartman help me and Cartman's like quick | ||
But first throw me the goal that's around your neck and Kyle's like what and Cartman says | ||
I know every Jew has this or something and then Kyle was like Cartman, you know, that's not true | ||
And then Cartman refuses, then finally Kyle pulls a bag off his neck, and he's like, ARGH! | ||
Here! | ||
And he gives the gold to Cartman, and then Cartman goes, Aha! | ||
But I know you secretly carry a fake bag of gold! | ||
And then he throws it, Give me the real one! | ||
And Kyle goes, ARGH! | ||
And then he pulls another one out. | ||
It's a joke. | ||
We know that Jewish people don't do this. | ||
It's meant to be, you know, silly and absurd. | ||
But then you also have Family Guy. | ||
Okay. | ||
Another show that was, like, just been popular forever. | ||
Yep. | ||
They go nuts on Mort. | ||
Yeah, they do. | ||
Like, they have done endless jokes, and so you get a bunch of kids who grow up seeing that as comedy, and they laugh about it, and they embrace it. | ||
So looking at Count Dankula's tweet where he says, 90s, 2000s, you know, absolute golden age where anything was allowed, yeah, South Park went nuts. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I mean, I'm not saying it in a bad way, I'm like, it was funny, we grew up watching this stuff, we were like, you know, we're not offended. | ||
And now today, you have people emulating a lot of these things they grew up watching, thinking it's funny, and also pushing the boundary. | ||
And now we're getting the moralistic SJWs harrumphing, like... You know what's really funny about these people? | ||
One of the things they pointed out was that when Rick mentioned the Saudis, it was like xenophobia. | ||
It like, kicked it over the edge. | ||
Do you think any of those people care about 9-11? | ||
No. | ||
That's insane. | ||
Like, if you told me a feminist SJW was complaining about the horrors of 9-11, I'd be like, shut up. | ||
It's not true. | ||
I mean, it's literally what they're doing. | ||
Basically, yeah. | ||
And no Rick and Morty fan cares. | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
It's a phony show. | ||
It is a good show. | ||
The last episode was kind of weird. | ||
I really enjoy it. | ||
Yeah, but you know what? | ||
I will add to this too. | ||
Two scary things that I think are happening right now. | ||
One is, in desperation with there being no news, we're gonna see a whole bunch of fake stuff like this. | ||
Cancel Rick and Morty more cut it like shut up, dude No, wait, like a bunch of people shop to McDonald's because | ||
I wanted to say Juan sauce when that episode came out Yeah, you hear about that borderline riots people like | ||
screaming give us sauce like what Rick and Morty episode about it. Yeah | ||
And then McDonald's did like a very limited run where they only had a little bit. Oh, man | ||
I don't but people showed up demanding it I'm like you think these people are gonna boycott the show | ||
the people complainers aren't fans but the other thing is we're getting close to election | ||
season and now we're gonna see AstroTurfing like crazy. | ||
And, man, man, I hope you guys are ready for a wild, wild ride, man. | ||
I am. | ||
I'm ready. | ||
I'm ready. | ||
Go ahead, enlighten me. | ||
So, it's when they set up fake protests. | ||
So, it was typically a reference to, like, hiring protesters. | ||
And now, it's a very, very vague and broad, like, if you pay for a protest, you've astroturfed. | ||
I don't agree with that. | ||
So, like, if you pay for a bus so that a bunch of people from one area can go purchase another area, they call it astroturfing. | ||
Okay. | ||
I'm like, kind of. | ||
Typically, when I heard it used, you know, ten years ago, it was when corporations were literally hiring people and paying them to go stand in a field and they didn't even care about the politics. | ||
So it looked like people cared. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
If a bunch of people want to protest and you say, I can help you guys out, that's very different. | ||
That's true. | ||
But I get it. | ||
It is borderline. | ||
Like, you're creating the circumstances where they can do this. | ||
Well, and if you're the one paying them and you're gonna benefit, like, you know, if you're a direct opponent, if they want to come because they don't like your direct opponent and then you bring them over, it's like, eh, you know, it's right in the line, I guess. | ||
Right. | ||
So that's why I think it's not necessarily unfair to say astroturfing in that context. | ||
It's very nuanced. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
But then there's sock puppetry, which is... Look, man, I'll tell you what. | ||
You go on Reddit, I'd be willing to bet 80% of the comments you see... Fake. | ||
Fake. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Totally fake. | ||
Like, uh... I didn't go on Reddit. | ||
There's a bunch of subreddits, I'm not gonna get specific. | ||
Bah. | ||
But it, it, it, man, it's crazy. | ||
When a news story broke, you used to be able to go on Reddit, and it would be number one all. | ||
It would, you know, like, oh, a power plant exploded, and you'd go, and there would be, like, upvoted. | ||
Not anymore. | ||
Nope. | ||
unidentified
|
Nah. | |
Nope, nope, nope. | ||
Now what is it? | ||
Almost never breaking it. | ||
Bunch of SJWs? | ||
It's all anti-Trump. | ||
I mean, I kid you not. | ||
That's all it is. | ||
I was, I was, I go on r slash all, which is just every subreddit ranked by their votes. | ||
Okay. | ||
And I was looking at it, it was r slash pics. | ||
It's the picture subreddit where it just shows you pictures of things. | ||
Okay. | ||
And it was anti-Trump and I was like, what? | ||
Why? | ||
Why? | ||
I don't care, man. | ||
You know, they complained about the Donald, which is like one of the biggest... It's the subreddit, right? | ||
Yeah, it's actually one of the most prolific meme generators. | ||
MIT Technology Review did a study and found that Donald and 4chan were the most prolific creators of memes that went viral around the internet. | ||
People used to complain. | ||
They were like, it's not fair because the Donald posts are always on the front page. | ||
So they eventually changed the algorithm to suppress the Donald. | ||
And now it's nothing but anti-Trump trash. | ||
So this is what I say, I hope you're ready for a wild ride because stories like this are going to get nuts. | ||
You're going to see astro-turfing, you are going to see sock puppetry, brigades. | ||
Like, Reddit is a dead zone as far as I'm concerned. | ||
That's what it feels like. | ||
So some people argue with me saying you can still use it. | ||
Okay. | ||
Just go find your sub, right? | ||
Like, go to the Magic the Gathering subreddit? | ||
unidentified
|
Nah. | |
Yeah, I used it. | ||
The only time I ever really used Reddit was, like, an LFG site for Destiny. | ||
Looking for groups. | ||
Like, Destiny 1. | ||
Right. | ||
A long time ago. | ||
Yeah, so you would go into the... So, for those that aren't familiar, when you want to play this game Destiny and you need people to play with you, you would go onto the reddit and be like, yo, who wants to do this? | ||
And then, like, here's my username, come, you know, add me. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
Yeah, we used to make those posts. | ||
And that's how we would find good crews to go do stuff. | ||
I think the whole thing. | ||
Oh yeah, you were playing Destiny with me at the time, weren't you? | ||
Yes, yes. | ||
That was great. | ||
Those were good times. | ||
Yeah, good old days, man. | ||
Six years ago. | ||
The Vault of Glass. | ||
Oh man. | ||
Yeah, that was cool. | ||
OG days. | ||
That was a good game. | ||
OG Destiny. | ||
I like Destiny 1. | ||
Man, Reddit now, you go to the front page and it's like, there's a subreddit called Murdered by Words. | ||
And it used to be like, sassy comebacks. | ||
Now it's just people complaining about Donald Trump. | ||
That's all it is. | ||
So I bring this stuff up, for one, I love complaining about Reddit because it's just like, this website's been totally destroyed. | ||
It's, you know, World Politics, one of the biggest social media forums in the world, 1.2 million users, went so far to the left, they started posting rule-breaking anti-Trump posts, and people were just like, what's happening? | ||
So then eventually they said, well, if there's no rules, and they said, it just became porn. | ||
That's what happens. | ||
unidentified
|
It's a natural decline. | |
It's just gone. | ||
People are like, fine, whatever. | ||
Yeah, if there's no rules, it started getting crazier and crazier and then just completely collapsed. | ||
Sad. | ||
I think we might see that, depending on how much stress is put on, say, Twitter or Reddit as a whole, if the people running these platforms keep doing this, what they're doing is, imagine you've got a bamboo pole. | ||
And so you start pulling it to the left, and you're pulling it harder and harder and harder, eventually it's gonna break. | ||
And that's what happened with world politics. | ||
I think it's possible that, you know, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, all these sites, as a whole, are pulling so hard it's gonna break. | ||
But it's not just the companies doing it. | ||
One of the problems is there's, I'm gonna avoid naming them, but there's some high-profile companies that hire people to manipulate on social media. | ||
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
Notably for the Democrats. | ||
I'm sure the Republicans have them. | ||
But the Democrats, a big company, got caught doing this. | ||
That's not really surprising. | ||
So here's what they do is you'll see a post that's not political and they'll come in and they'll make it political. | ||
Of course. | ||
In the comments they'll inundate it and they'll jam it up. | ||
But let's say you make a comment where you're like, you know, I don't know how I feel about Donald Trump. | ||
Then they use a bunch of fake accounts to downvote you so that you're gone. | ||
So the only ones you see are orange man bad. | ||
Great. | ||
So what happens to the regular person is they come in and the only thing they see is everyone hating Donald Trump. | ||
And so I guess the goal is to make people believe that everybody hates Trump. | ||
So I bring that up in this context because this story is for the most part just desperation in my opinion. | ||
That's what it feels like. | ||
But I agree. | ||
But I think it's going to get absolutely nuts. | ||
Do you hear that beeping? | ||
Yeah, I do. | ||
What is that? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I got to hunt it down. | ||
Yeah, it's annoying. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
It's like some weird beeping. | ||
It's probably something in someone's room. | ||
Show must go on. | ||
Somebody's watch is going off. | ||
So that brings me now. | ||
We're going to get a little political on you. | ||
Oh, great. | ||
But we're still in the context of sock puppetry and social justice. | ||
So check this out. | ||
This is actually really interesting. | ||
This is a story from the Washington Free Beacon. | ||
Woke talking points cost Gillibrand primary support. | ||
Oh, snap. | ||
I said this. | ||
Progressive rhetoric loses. | ||
Politicians support new study argues. | ||
It feels good to be vindicated. | ||
Yes, it does. | ||
I've been saying for a long time, this is fringe political BS. | ||
Social justice nonsense will not work, but for some reason they just went for it. | ||
So in the context of how social media is being manipulated and they're putting these fringe opinions out there, they're actually lighting themselves on fire. | ||
I have to wonder if the real goal is to make people like you vote for Donald Trump. | ||
Yeah, right? | ||
Do you know what black propaganda is? | ||
No. | ||
I saw you mention it in a tweet. | ||
Yeah. | ||
There's white, gray, and black. | ||
Okay. | ||
White propaganda is overt. | ||
It would be like me holding up a sign saying, Adam sucks. | ||
Okay. | ||
Gray propaganda would be a sign that just says, you know, Adam Kregler is a bad musician. | ||
You don't know who it comes from, and it's a negative opinion. | ||
Okay. | ||
And then black propaganda would be someone saying, like, Adam Kregler is the best. | ||
I love him because he's racist. | ||
So the goal of Black Repaganda is to pretend to be the enemy and then look stupid. | ||
Or look really bad, right? | ||
Right. | ||
It's so that people will associate your opponents with whatever stupid idea you've put forward to accuse them of. | ||
So it would be like, you know, wearing a Trump shirt and then going around. | ||
Like we've seen it. | ||
People will put like a Trump shirt on and then go around and say a bunch of racist things. | ||
I actually, I was thinking this. | ||
I saw this dude who was at some rally or something. | ||
It was for the Democrats, right? | ||
And he had this swastika on his shirt that said Trump and Pence. | ||
And he was like waving a flag around, like yelling at people. | ||
And then someone took a picture of him. | ||
And then later on, they saw the same picture of the guy. | ||
At a Bernie rally? | ||
No, no, no. | ||
The same rally. | ||
The dude like put his jacket on and then like put the sign down and then like had his Democrat flag. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
It was like, what? | ||
So you just staged yourself to look like... That's called black propaganda. | ||
Terrible. | ||
We are going to get a ton of it across the board, and it is going to be like April Fool's Day on crack. | ||
But you know what? | ||
We'll be here calling them out. | ||
Yeah, I guess. | ||
We're stuck in the muck in the mire, you know? | ||
I know you're better at it than me. | ||
I mean, I'm not that deep into politics, but... | ||
The nightmarish reality of it is that, you know, everything could be fake. | ||
Somebody made a joke a while ago, like, what if all of these, like, SJW leftists are actually right-wingers trying to make the leftists look bad? | ||
And then all the fringe, like, far-right people are actually leftists trying to make the right look bad? | ||
And meanwhile, irregular people are like... What are you guys doing? | ||
Yeah. | ||
So this is funny, the funny thing about the Gillibrand stuff, and I'll talk about this and then we'll talk about more black propaganda, is that this was obvious to everybody. | ||
She ran her primary campaign for the Democrats going woke as possible. | ||
Okay. | ||
There was like one, like some weird candid video where she's in a bar and she's like sitting there bobbing and she goes, gay rights! | ||
That was a commercial? | ||
No, it was like someone just posted a video of her doing it. | ||
So she just literally was doing that? | ||
Yes. | ||
She was at a bar? | ||
Just like bobbing her head. | ||
Was she by herself too? | ||
Yeah, looked like it. | ||
Someone's got a camera on her? | ||
Yep. | ||
Gay rights! | ||
Yep. | ||
I mean, I'm all for gay rights, but that is hilarious. | ||
It's so obviously fake. | ||
I don't know anybody who sat in a bar by themselves. | ||
There were people around her dancing and stuff, which is like in a bar. | ||
I don't know what she was doing. | ||
unidentified
|
So she really really tried it sounded like a photo op. | |
She's like. | ||
Oh someone get this get this video I'm about to I'm about to rock this sentence out check the sentence out boom. | ||
You know what you know what? | ||
Yeah, what it's that what one thing. | ||
I really can't stand is inefficiency Okay, like when I see something someone doing something wrong like I want to be like yo stop like let me let me just do it Stop what you're doing like you're doing it wrong You've got it upside down. | ||
No, you've got to flip it around. | ||
Let me just do it. | ||
Give me the thing. | ||
Give it to me. | ||
I'll do it myself. | ||
Yeah, right. | ||
I can't stand watching people trying to stick a square peg in a round hole. | ||
Trust me, I'm the same way. | ||
I'm like, hey, you're doing that wrong. | ||
And everyone's like, I don't care. | ||
I'm going to do it the way I want to do it. | ||
It's like, let me do it. | ||
No, because then I'm just going to have to fix it when you're done anyway, because you're not doing it right. | ||
Oh man, you guys. | ||
That's why when it comes to issues of, like, carpentry stuff, I'm like, I'm not even gonna do anything. | ||
I'm just gonna call Adam now. | ||
Hey, Adam. | ||
Adam, do this. | ||
No, I'll tell you what happens. | ||
I'll be like, I'm going to hang this, and then Adam will come down and be like, oh, bro, you missed a stud. | ||
No, I gotta fix it. | ||
And I'm like, alright, dude, I'm just not even gonna bother. | ||
You know it better than I do, so I'll just hand it off to you. | ||
But with Gillibrand, it was like watching someone set themselves on fire. | ||
And I'm just like, I saw it at Fusion when I worked there. | ||
This company, Oh yeah, they went nuts, right? | ||
They had hundreds of millions of dollars. | ||
They were like, we're gonna do a media company and we wanna be, you know, like, non-partisan | ||
and like Vice. | ||
And they had posters on the walls that said, we will not be partisan and stuff. | ||
Seriously? | ||
I kid you not. | ||
And then all of a sudden- I mean, I know what happened, that's why I'm laughing. | ||
Go ahead. | ||
Yeah, someone convinced them, like, have you considered getting woke? | ||
How about partisanship? | ||
Maybe you should take those posters down and get woke. | ||
There are some really, really embarrassing things this company did. | ||
Really? | ||
Really, really embarrassing things. | ||
So like apparently, I gotta be very careful in the details, but there was like a high-level meeting where this high-level person is supposed to be talking to a bunch of other like marketing, like advertising people to like sell content. | ||
Okay. | ||
And when they were asked what was like their mission, this person's like, gender. | ||
What? | ||
And I'm not so I got I'm trying to be careful here. It's like like gay rights. I'm just gonna say it | ||
I someone I might get in trouble. But basically they were producing this like sales pitch and | ||
The high-ranking person was asked like what's the next big? | ||
You know story the big narrative and he said gender and that was supposed to be sent out to advertising companies | ||
Like, you know coke and pepsi or whatever That's what I was told. | ||
I could be wrong. | ||
But I was told this by, like, one of the higher-ups who were, like, facepalming, like, what are they doing? | ||
What do you think's gonna happen if you went to a meeting with, like, Coke? | ||
And Coke was like, we want to sell more soda. | ||
What can you do for us? | ||
Gender. | ||
I'm sorry, I'm not sure what that means. | ||
Not tracking. | ||
Infinite genders. | ||
Just go with it. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
They thought they were young and edgy or something. | ||
You know what I think it was for a lot of these companies? | ||
I was actually told this by one of these consultant marketing guys who said, if you want a company that starts today and is successful in five years, you gotta look at what young people are talking about and then track that, and then basically in five years, you'll be that source. | ||
And I said, the people talking about that are like a microscopic fraction of this country, and you're looking at the squeaky wheel. | ||
Regular people watch Dave Chappelle and Joe Rogan, and they're opposed to this stuff. | ||
They lit themselves on fire, flushed down the toilet. | ||
Coca-Cola, good for any gender. | ||
I didn't know what it was. | ||
There's like a meme about how all these companies... | ||
No, what was that Monopoly thing? | ||
You see that commercial for Monopoly? | ||
I couldn't believe it was actually a Monopoly commercial. | ||
That was awesome. | ||
I still don't believe it. | ||
Well, let's give some context to the people. | ||
So there was a commercial, and it was like, Female engineers need to be encouraged. | ||
And it shows like a little girl and she's like, I designed this, you know, robot or whatever. | ||
There's like three or four different girls that are like young and like want to be scientists. | ||
Yep. | ||
And it's like, it's three minutes of talking about equal rights and encouraging women. | ||
Yep. | ||
And then all of a sudden there's a scene where it's like, that's why we did this. | ||
And it shows a woman hand a present to this little girl and she opens it. | ||
Hey, where did this come from? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Let's all sit in the couch and watch you open it together. | ||
And they're all like sitting around as a family as the girl sits and opens it. | ||
And it became a game. | ||
The game was to post the video and say, guess what they're promoting. | ||
And then you're watching it going like, what could this be? | ||
And then when she opens the package and it's Ms. | ||
Monopoly. | ||
You're like, what? | ||
Ms. | ||
Monopoly? | ||
What? | ||
It's the most backwards, insane thing. | ||
I would never have guessed it. | ||
Ever. | ||
Not ever. | ||
Here's how the game works. | ||
The game works by like, men get less money than women when they pass Go. | ||
So it's like, they want... So wait, the original Monopoly actually has equal rights. | ||
Everyone's equal. | ||
And this game was handicapping women. | ||
To prove equality, we're gonna handicap them. | ||
Wow. | ||
We're gonna give them a handicap, I should say. | ||
Not handicap, the men will be handicapped. | ||
We'll give the benefit to the women. | ||
It sends the opposite message. | ||
It does, that's true. | ||
We live in... Women need more help? | ||
Is that what it's saying? | ||
You know what it is, man? | ||
That's exactly what it's saying. | ||
It's that people, uh, people are stupid. | ||
Oh, is that it? | ||
People are dumb. | ||
Thank you for solving that. | ||
Wow. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah. | ||
You got a point. | ||
He's got a point. | ||
Imagine, imagine what, uh, imagine what communism would be like. | ||
All of these people, you know, it's like at least- Like the Monopoly version or what? | ||
No, no, what I mean is, no, the socialist Monopoly is dumb. | ||
I tried playing it. | ||
No, but how would the communist version go? | ||
I'm not talking about Monopoly, I'm talking about real life. | ||
I know. | ||
I'm talking about how we can watch them fail and laugh and no one's hurt by it. | ||
They launched a really stupid commercial. | ||
Everyone made fun of them. | ||
I'm sure they sold some of them. | ||
But they mocked and they were berated. | ||
Under a command economy, you have these ideologues in government being like, nope, we're going to keep making it anyway. | ||
Reminds me of the Futurama episode. | ||
I love citing Futurama. | ||
Yes, you do. | ||
Where they go to the Amazon planet. | ||
Snoo Snoo? | ||
Yeah. | ||
And they see them playing basketball. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And the wind's like, they no can dunk, but good fundamentals. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Like, the point is supporting something that they don't like because it's just, it feels, it's like emotionally, you know? | ||
Yeah. | ||
So you have, in capitalism, things can fail. | ||
And we can laugh about it. | ||
True. | ||
In communism, no, you get one ideologue who's gonna be like, make Ms. | ||
Monopoly. | ||
Sir, nobody wants it. | ||
Don't care. | ||
Keep making it. | ||
And then you just waste resources and light things on fire. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Speaking of, you know, and I'm only gonna say this very briefly, but we were talking earlier about, like, universal healthcare. | ||
Oh, really? | ||
And how the post office was awful. | ||
Okay. | ||
And then I said, imagine getting your healthcare through the post office system. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
Imagine getting your healthcare through the DMV. | ||
I think I'm good. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
want to think about universal health care. I think I'm good. | ||
And then I want to imagine going to the DMV but instead of trying to get your | ||
license done or you know copy or whatever you're trying to get life altering | ||
life-saving surgery. | ||
Oh my god. Bro I went to the DMV. No thanks. I went to the DMV to get my car license | ||
license plate and they gave me a trailer plate. | ||
I didn't know what it meant. | ||
Trailer plate. | ||
Yeah, for like a hitch trailer you put on the back of a car. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
I didn't know. | ||
So in Florida, you only need, I think I'm pretty sure in Florida, | ||
you only need a plate in the back. | ||
So they gave me one plate, it said trailer, and I was like, is this right? | ||
And she's like, you're all good. | ||
And I'm like, okay, oh, wow, I didn't know that. | ||
Because it's the first time I got in a license plate in Jersey. | ||
So I assumed you need one plate in the back, and it said trailer because it was the back | ||
of the car or something. | ||
And so then I came back and I put it on and went about my business. | ||
And then I walked inside and I'm like, that can't be right. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So I went online and looked it up and I was like, oh, man, you dumb. | ||
I had to go back. | ||
That sucks. | ||
And it's like dealing with the DMV waiting in line. | ||
Do you talk about a nightmare? | ||
Well, let's let's go back to the black propaganda thing. | ||
So when you see Kirsten Gillibrand yelling gay rights or whatever. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And you see all of these people and all these media companies. | ||
I wonder if the goal was to destroy them. | ||
You know what, every time we have different conversations about different points, you know, of the whole bubble of politics, and the more you say it, the more it does make sense that they're just trying to sabotage themselves. | ||
Not themselves, but there's people trying to destroy them. | ||
unidentified
|
Ah, okay. | |
Like, this, you know, Fusion wants to start a company. | ||
They, ABC and Univision, have this plan, they put in hundreds of millions of dollars, and then they start looking for consultants, and someone comes in and thinks, how can I destroy this company? | ||
And you know, what makes me curious is there was very, very heavy Hillary Clinton influence in what Fusion was doing. | ||
So I'll be very, very careful about how far I go with that, but big, powerful donors. | ||
It was in the family, you know what I mean? | ||
So I had to wonder if one of the reasons they decided to go full-on feminist was because they wanted to create a narrative so that when Hillary Clinton ran, they'd be like, you know... We are for her. | ||
But I don't, I don't, and a lot of people would argue it's a big conspiracy theory. | ||
I was like, it's not a conspiracy theory for some, for this big Hillary Clinton donor to pay for media. | ||
Like it's marketing. | ||
That's just regular old marketing. | ||
Yep. | ||
They put money in and say, write stories that make her look good. | ||
They do that all the time. | ||
So I had to wonder if that was the goal. | ||
A lot of people told me it wasn't. | ||
They were just trying to make money. | ||
Sure. | ||
And I'm like, but why would you make content that's only for women then? | ||
Why wouldn't you make content? | ||
You know, but they were making money doing what they were doing. | ||
Why would they change it up? | ||
They weren't making money. | ||
Oh, I thought you said they were, they were doing fine. | ||
When they first started, they were trying to figure things out. | ||
Oh, they were just funded, that's what you said. | ||
And then they had consultants come in and tell them to do something. | ||
And they flushed themselves down the toilet and burned all the money. | ||
But when it comes to the internet and people like Jill O'Brien and stuff, I have to wonder if one of the reasons the left can't succeed is because black propaganda. | ||
Like, if all this cancel culture stuff is just people trying to make sure they can never succeed, I think about it in terms of real leftist anti-establishment activists. | ||
You can see people like Matt Taibbi, for instance. | ||
He wrote this article. | ||
He's a journalist. | ||
He's a lefty. | ||
He wrote an article saying the Democrats have abandoned civil liberties. | ||
He's a real like moderate lefty guy. | ||
It certainly seems that way nowadays. | ||
Right. | ||
He talked about how he used to align with the Democrats and now he sees them as like they've gone nuts. | ||
And so have many other people. | ||
Activists know the lengths that the Feds have gone to to disrupt activist organizations. | ||
What's the easiest way to totally discredit left-wing, anti-establishment organizations? | ||
Get in there. | ||
Get in there and screech and wree and throw bricks and cheer on all the really, really awful stuff. | ||
And then create this narrative and damage them. | ||
Nah, I think they do it to themselves if they're that easily susceptible to this kind of, you know, manipulation. | ||
But you get people to go online and say something like, I'm voting for Bernie Sanders, by the way. | ||
You know, I hate all, you know, name a group. | ||
Or push that narrative. | ||
Or do what Kirsten Gillibrand... She fell for it, I guess. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
I don't know what to tell you, man. | ||
That was so obvious she was gonna fail. | ||
Well, anyway. | ||
We're gonna be in the thick of things. | ||
I hope you are all excited for the roller coaster ride that will be 2020s. | ||
I know I am. | ||
I'm looking forward to it. | ||
Dude, they're gonna call you all the names in the book. | ||
I can't wait. | ||
It's gonna be great, Adam. | ||
unidentified
|
This vegan skateboarder is the epitome of far-right. | |
Man, I've been called all sorts of things throughout my life. | ||
I just don't care. | ||
I don't care. | ||
Yeah, bring it on. | ||
You either like me or you don't like me, and that's how it goes. | ||
But they do it to try and scare you to destroy your life. | ||
If you're susceptible to that. | ||
Yes. | ||
Without naming any specific individual. | ||
There are people who would make content that was like anti-SJW, you know, moderate, not super political, but like anti, you know, in the culture war, anti-SJW. | ||
And then once they got their careers threatened, immediately started saying, oh, but I'm actually left wing. | ||
Oh, and then totally just slowly sneaking in. | ||
And then there are people in the middle who do the same thing, and then slowly become more and more right-wing and start entertaining more conservative and right-wing positions. | ||
And it's because they're getting what's called a love bomb from the right. | ||
And so that's like the ongoing phenomenon right now of the culture war. | ||
Come have some beers. | ||
Yup. | ||
And then everyone's response to that is like, I know which side I would go to. | ||
The side where it's like, have a beer with me. | ||
That makes sense. | ||
Not the one that's screeching and trying to destroy me. | ||
But some people fall for it. | ||
There are some high profile progressives who made pretty good progressive but fair content until they got attacked and got cancelled. | ||
And then all of a sudden, all of a sudden, they started towing the line and saying all this stupid SAW stuff and I'm like... | ||
It was too late. | ||
No, they're losers. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And they're people I used to follow and promote. | ||
I don't promote them anymore. | ||
unidentified
|
Sad. | |
Because I'm like, you used to call it out. | ||
Like, if you believe in universal healthcare, and you want to have an argument about what I just said about the DMV, and there's real arguments against that. | ||
Just because the DMV is bad doesn't mean you can't make a system for universal healthcare that works properly. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
I think there's a lot of problems to it. | ||
I lean towards more of a public option because you need competition. | ||
And I think we talked about this, like, there could be emergency care is universal. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
Specialty stuff is... Like breaking your leg. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
You can go get it taken care of. | ||
Right. | ||
But if you ate like... Chemotherapy. | ||
Ate crap for your entire life and got, you know, and drank alcohol... | ||
And then got some sort of weird cancer that was from that. | ||
It's like, you have to pay for that. | ||
You did that to yourself. | ||
So if you want to make a, have a real conversation and a fair argument and stuff, like I'm totally down, but it seems like that doesn't really exist for the most part because the screeching wreaths, you know, the social justice warriors prevent these kinds of conversations and make sure everyone's just, maybe it's just humans, man. | ||
Maybe it's just how we are. | ||
Not as a whole. | ||
I think you can't stop some people from being that way, though. | ||
That's just gonna be the way it is. | ||
This is what I was saying about the media. | ||
They cheat, and cheaters win. | ||
Yep. | ||
You know, it's funny. | ||
What do they say? | ||
Cheaters never win? | ||
I was told that when I was younger. | ||
Winners never cheat, cheaters never win. | ||
That's not true at all. | ||
That is a lie. | ||
Cheaters win all the time, and the smart ones never get caught. | ||
And what about that line? | ||
History is written by the winners. | ||
Yeah, it's true. | ||
It is. | ||
I know, exactly. | ||
Unfortunately. | ||
I mean, he was right, although it was bad timing. | ||
No, the full context of his statement was, he laughed and said, he was asked, how will history look back on, you know, what happened, and he laughed and said, well, history is written by the winner, so I guess we can see, but I think it'll look favorably on us because we upheld the rule of law. | ||
Right. | ||
And then Chuck Todd said, he didn't even argue that he upheld the rule of law. | ||
That was the problem. | ||
He literally lied about what Bill Barr actually said in a snippet. | ||
That's the fake news. | ||
They get away with it. | ||
They make money. | ||
And the controversy is still good for them. | ||
You know why? | ||
There are people who don't care they're lying. | ||
They like that they're lying. | ||
Yeah, that's true. | ||
unidentified
|
Because they're like, Oh, what you just said fits what I believe. | |
So it vindicates what I believe. | ||
Now I can yell louder. | ||
Not even that. | ||
Because I have proof. | ||
Not even that. | ||
It's like, They believe that they're justified in lying to convert people. | ||
I would say both. | ||
Because the ends justify the means. | ||
It's a religion. | ||
So when Chuck Todd lies, they know he's lying and they go, good, because it'll convert more people. | ||
I don't think everyone knows that they're lying. | ||
I think some people just want to believe it. | ||
They're like, oh, he's saying what I believe, so. | ||
But the dude Matthew Iglesias of Vox.com once wrote that progressive messaging had successfully convinced people they had not received a tax break when they really did and that was a success, a messaging success. | ||
That is amazing. | ||
He celebrated the fact that they had successfully lied to people and tricked them into hating Trump for something he actually helped them on. | ||
Wow. | ||
Yeah, welcome. | ||
And how do you think it's going to get moving into November? | ||
I mean people are becoming I feel like it's falling through their fingers, and they're like, what do we do now? | ||
What do we do now? | ||
Oh, CNN's gone full reality TV. | ||
Are they? | ||
Good stuff. | ||
Yeah, so we talked about the Greta thing, right? | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
Anderson Cooper went on some tirade where he's like, Donnie Trump Jr. | ||
wants to, you know, drag us. | ||
Shouldn't he be running his companies? | ||
And I'm like, why is Anderson Cooper getting into a, like, you know, internet-style flame war with Donald Trump Jr. | ||
over, like, a tweet? | ||
Why? | ||
unidentified
|
Seriously? | |
It was like a segment on CNN? | ||
about gretta so as a cooper dedicated a segment to just like honestly it was | ||
like a segment on cd was it was it was a short but when he read down like | ||
that the online outrage machine of the gratitude bird thing now | ||
and i'm like they love it there so happy yeah there jeff sucker the president of cnn was a reality reality tv | ||
guy it's probably why they brought a month | ||
They were like, look man, news doesn't work anymore. | ||
You know what it reminds me of? | ||
Remember when people were complaining about MTV no longer doing music? | ||
Yeah, MTV. I was just thinking about MTV. I'm like, yeah, MTV used to be awesome in the 90s. | ||
It was all music videos. | ||
And then you had MTV News. | ||
Slowly, they started adding these reality TV programs. | ||
And then eventually, no more music videos. | ||
And I remember that period where they were doing TRL, Total Request Live. | ||
They wouldn't even show the whole music video. | ||
It would be a minute and a half of it. | ||
And I'd be like, this is crazy. | ||
They're thinking, we gotta kinda do it, but we're not gonna do it. | ||
That was the early aughts, where it started changing. | ||
And there was a post, it was like a viral post, I can't remember where it was, but someone said, you don't even watch MTV anymore and you're complaining that they found a new audience that's more receptive to a different kind of content. | ||
Just face it, you've grown out of what they offered. | ||
There's other ways to get music. | ||
There's easier ways to get music. | ||
So they've changed. | ||
That's kind of true. | ||
You had the internet. | ||
It's true. | ||
So why complain about the fact that they've changed? | ||
The problem with CNN is they're supposed to be, quote, the most trusted name in news. | ||
They're not. | ||
I can't hear that and not laugh. | ||
Yeah, I know. | ||
You ever see the commercial where like, this is an apple. | ||
Some people will tell you it's a banana or something like that? | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
It's the cringiest, stupidest. | ||
Who tells anyone that an apple is a banana? | ||
CNN. | ||
I've never heard of CNN. | ||
They're the only ones. | ||
That's what they've become. | ||
And so, look, I don't care. | ||
So here's where I draw the line when I was talking about like, you know, we're complaining about them complaining about Rick and Morty. | ||
It's like the difference is we're calling them out for lying. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And I think that's fair. | ||
And when we do opinion segments, we're just two dudes hanging out in a home studio talking about how we feel with people who share similar feelings. | ||
And Lydia. | ||
I got you Lydia. | ||
unidentified
|
Three people. | |
Lydia really exists. | ||
Two dudes. | ||
And Lydia. | ||
But CNN is supposed to be telling us the facts. | ||
Yeah. | ||
They're not. | ||
They're not. | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
You know what it is? | ||
They can't compete with us. | ||
Nope. | ||
So they... Because we got true fans. | ||
Where's my camera? | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
There we go. | ||
That's right. | ||
We love you guys. | ||
You guys are great. | ||
unidentified
|
We appreciate you guys. | |
Talking about you fans. | ||
And CNN has to pay the airport. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm not kidding. | |
I know, right? | ||
They do. | ||
They have to pay to air it. | ||
That's embarrassing. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
So weird. | ||
CNN pays airports to put them on the screen. | ||
Yeah, next time you're stuck in an airport, think about that. | ||
So anyway, I want to talk about space. | ||
So let me just wrap this up and say, there's going to be a ton of people banned. | ||
There's going to be social media suppression. | ||
You're going to see brigade campaigns. | ||
So recently on Reddit, and I want to be very careful so I'm going to avoid calling out specific people, but there have been brigade campaigns. | ||
what they'll do is they try to pretend like they're fans of yours that are | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
disheartened like i used to be such a biggest fan of adam | ||
we really changed adam i think you gotta get get back to reality start talking | ||
about you know about why the republicans are bad i think you've lost sight | ||
of reality things like that | ||
it's it's very obvious but that's the attempt to manipulate you | ||
So it's part of the black propaganda thing. | ||
You might go on Twitter one day and see like 50 messages where they're like, bro, dude, dude, I love you, man, that show's awesome, but hey, when you mention this thing, it's not cool. | ||
And then you see all these messages and think everyone's mad at you and you go, oh, I better not say that again. | ||
It's a trick. | ||
I don't even check my notifications. | ||
I'm like, I don't care, dude. | ||
Don't. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Don't care. | ||
Absolutely don't. | ||
Don't care anything. | ||
People have tagged me with some funny stuff that they straight up tell me they hate me. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
And that's OK. | ||
Oh, all right. | ||
That's cool. | ||
Thanks for taking the time to at least hit me up. | ||
That's great. | ||
You know what I always say? | ||
When I was little, I was told the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference. | ||
Because it is. | ||
Indifference is like you don't even think about the person. | ||
Love and hate are both very powerful emotions. | ||
You're thinking about me. | ||
You can love someone you hate. | ||
You can hate me, but you're still thinking about me. | ||
You can hate someone you love. | ||
You can actually love someone, but just hate them. | ||
That's a good point. | ||
It's true. | ||
So they're not opposites. | ||
So if somebody says they hate you, then you've successfully won them over in some capacity. | ||
You're now in their hearts. | ||
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
You're in their head. | ||
Forever. | ||
Rent-free. | ||
Rent free in their heads. | ||
And so I always, you know, I always say things like, I'm, when people tweet at me and say nasty things and go on Facebook, I'm like, my honest feeling about this is a weird sense of like accomplishment. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Okay. | ||
You know, like growing up being a high school dropout and not getting to the point where there are all these people that feel like I'm important enough to where they have to complain about me to their friends. | ||
It's kind of a crazy feeling. | ||
Like I, it's kind of like free advertising also. | ||
Because then their friends are like, who is this guy? | ||
I gotta check out this Tim Pool guy. | ||
Oh, actually, he's pretty good. | ||
But it's also like, he's not bad. | ||
When I'm in New York, and there's, I would say for the most part, the people who recognize me are like, yo, dude, you're awesome. | ||
Yeah, the guy was like, what? | ||
Are you Tim Pool? | ||
I'm like I live right here to block away from my house. He freaked out | ||
That was cool I was like you know the craziest the craziest thing was | ||
when I was in Iceland and I was in this middle of nowhere and | ||
I remember this and I went to a burger joint and two guys walked in they stopped me like are you Tim pool? | ||
And I was like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry now. Nothing beats Billy Corgan. He's going Tim pool | ||
That that just that's like yeah, I tell that story on the cake you did tell the story. Yeah | ||
Yeah, that's the icing of the cake first time I met Billy Corgan | ||
I was all excited because I you know listen to the pumpkins and | ||
And he was standing there and then as I was being introduced he stops. It goes. Hey, you're Tim poor right? | ||
I watch your videos. | ||
And I was like, what? | ||
I was like, that's so cool, dude. | ||
That's huge, man. | ||
Yeah, rad. | ||
I was at a premiere for one of his new albums. | ||
That dude's cool. | ||
Apparently, he's like, someone mentioned he saw someone turn into a lizard, I guess. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I don't know about all that, but Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins, great band. | ||
So, no, but anyway, I agreed. | ||
I forgot what I was trying to bring up when I mentioned being recognized, because I wasn't trying to make it about me. | ||
You're talking about living rent-free in their heads. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
I was going to say, when people in New York yell, F you Tim Pool, I'm like, man, that guy really cares. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Thank you, dude. | ||
He really cares. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I appreciate that. | ||
It's funny, the guy who said that he hates me, he did this whole rant. | ||
And then I click on his profile. | ||
I was like, who is this guy? | ||
Let me see this. | ||
And it says, hashtag stop bullying. | ||
Oh. | ||
We should talk about outer space. | ||
Yes, we should. | ||
Let's do some Super Chats. | ||

Well, we won't know. | ||
We haven't read our super chats. | ||
All right. | ||
First thing, we've got another segment. | ||
The sun is entering a lockdown period where it's basically it might get cold. | ||
They say it last time it happened, there was an ice age. | ||
We're going to get to that segment. | ||
Well, it wasn't an Ice Age, no. | ||
It was a mini Ice Age or something? | ||
Yeah, it was like 1790 to 1830 or something. | ||
It was like 40 years. | ||
I'm so excited, dude. | ||
But it messed up crops. | ||
Oh, that's not exciting. | ||
That's not cool. | ||
No, it wasn't very good. | ||
Cool weather would be nice. | ||
We're gonna get to that, but we're gonna do Super Chats first, so we're gonna read your questions and comments, but make sure you follow me at Timcast. | ||
Make sure you follow Adam at... Oh, hey, yeah. | ||
Can we get there? | ||
There we go. | ||

Because you can send Adam story suggestions. | ||
Oh, you know the thing. | ||
If you follow Adam on Twitter, you can send him story suggestions. | ||
Yeah, please do. | ||

Actually, someone on Twitter sent me that. | ||
$500 to spin the UFO. | ||
unidentified
|
Alright, drop that $500 Super Chat and we will spin this thing. | |
I will spin it until it flies off of the mount for $500. | ||
Yeah, okay, you know it for 500 bucks. | ||
This is an air duster, and we just point it, and the air spins it. | ||
Alright, let's do it. | ||
Alright, so keep an eye on that $500. | ||
Alright, I'm watching. | ||
It's like a game show now. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
Alright, alright, let's breathe. | ||
Rick Sanchez says, no one wants Rick and Morty boycotted. | ||
Trust me, I'm an unbiased source. | ||
Yes, Rick Sanchez. | ||
unidentified
|
That's right, Rick. | |
Mm-hmm. | ||
Justa says, first, eat plants. | ||
You know, actually, I like to eat plants. | ||

unidentified
|
You did? | |
I did, yeah. | ||
You did? | ||
But it wasn't like, it wasn't conscious. | ||
We got these- I don't care, I'm still proud of you. | ||
unidentified

Aw. | |
We got these corn dogs that they're vegan. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, those are good. | |
And I wanted them because you can just microwave and eat them. | ||
Yeah, they're yummy. | ||
We also have fish sticks, but you gotta cook them through. | ||
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
So I was like, dude, I got like a minute, I wanna eat, and so I just nuked them. | ||
But I put mayonnaise on them. | ||
Because I am not vegan. | ||
You could have had my vegan mayonnaise. | ||
Yeah, coulda. | ||
But it was more like, I'm not gonna be vegan. | ||
So you're a 99% vegan today. | ||
Yeah, but we have this... Spin it! | ||
unidentified
|
$100! | |
Oh! | ||
We have $100 to spin it! | ||
I spent $100 I rescind. Oh, we have $100 to spend it $100. | ||
unidentified

Bebe, that was for- Wow! | ||
Alright, no, no, don't overspin it. | ||
Yeah, can you pull it toward you a little so everybody can see it? | ||
No, no, no, don't risk moving it. | ||
Oh, there's some light. | ||
You can't see it at all! | ||
No, but it's spinning now. | ||
It's spinning like crazy. | ||
All right, BB, we did it. | ||
We did. | ||
We got you. | ||
We did it for you. | ||
unidentified
|
This dude actually done it a hundred dollars. | |
I said it. | ||
I said we wouldn't do it unless we got a super chat. | ||
So thank you. | ||
I wanted to see what would happen if I just let it spin and it starts bouncing up and down and then just like bounces off. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Oh, really? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
It spins off into orbit. | ||
Super spin. | ||
It wobbles left and right and it's throwing the weight. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And then it just like flies off. | ||
Man, that thing is going now. | ||
Nice. | ||
We'll see how long it spins for. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Thank you for the spin super chat. | ||
Yeah, that was fun. | ||
Let's read. | ||
Where are we at? | ||
Tim Buchanan says, Tim, have you seen that China has planned to start doing beaching training with their military? | ||
Some people think it is to invade Taiwan. | ||
What else would it be for? | ||
Of course. | ||
To invade Taiwan. | ||
Grace Fang says, to anyone with lactose intolerance, look up Green Valley Creamery, Buff Creamery, Cabot Creamery, and 2 Plus Aged Cheese. | ||
Really? | ||
Interesting. | ||
I have a light lactose intolerance. | ||
I believe has something to do with being Asian. | ||
OmegaHunter says, the media attacks on Rick and Morty are just part of an evil Morty's plot. | ||
Also AdamKriglerF. | ||
Someone just superchatted 200 bucks. | ||
I don't know if that was to spin it, but I appreciate it. | ||
Oh, thank you. | ||
unidentified
|
Excellent. | |
Generic background character. | ||
I saw that. | ||
Thank you. | ||
That's huge. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Was that because we spun the UFO? | ||
They were going to say spin, but then they were like, oh, it's spinning. | ||
There you go. | ||
That was nice of them. | ||
unidentified
|
Awesome. | |
Thank you. | ||
Ryan Jones says, just wanted to thank you, Tim, for your reporting. | ||
Keep up the good work on all channels. | ||
Y'all the best. | ||
Appreciate it. | ||
If you guys haven't already, you've really got to check out Scanner. | ||
S-C-N-R dot com. | ||
Yeah, it looks good. | ||
It's lighting up. | ||
Short and sweet. | ||
It's looking good. | ||
But now I can just straight up say it, because Rocco Castoro is the former editor-in-chief. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, it's official. | |
Yeah, it's official. | ||
Go ahead. | ||
unidentified
|
Go ahead. | |
Sorry. | ||
I was like, I'm like, Rocco, you got to let me know when I'm going to tell everybody, like, you're basically running this with Emily. | ||
Yeah. | ||
They run it the way they run it. | ||
My role is mostly like, I'm just gonna make sure they never do what we do. | ||
There should be no point where anyone from the Scanner team is going like, here's how I feel about Trump. | ||
It should be like, we're on the ground, we're reporting, we're interviewing people, we're doing verite stuff. | ||
And so that's the gist of it. | ||
Can we get like this... Vice News used to be so cool. | ||
Yeah, they did. | ||
Then they got woke. | ||
They really did. | ||
That's all I want to make sure. | ||
I want to make sure they never do anything like I do, where they complain about Democrats, and they never do anything like anyone else where they complain about Republicans. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
I can complain all day and night about the Democrats. | ||
So total impartial news. | ||
Editorially independent, they do their thing. | ||
Sounds good. | ||
And Rocco ran Vice. | ||
I don't know to what degree, so I'm going to be very careful, but he had a very high-ranking role. | ||
He was officially the editor-in-chief, but he ran international content. | ||
He's also a correspondent. | ||
And Vice is on the downswing in a lot of ways. | ||
Reached out to him. | ||
Scanner's on the upswing. | ||
It's on the upswing. | ||
I got it, I got it. | ||
And so we have a trailer over at scnr.com. | ||
They've produced all of it. | ||
They've been working on this stuff. | ||
Yeah, looks good. | ||
They've been really, really great about it. | ||
And we got a bunch of plans. | ||
So what they're doing is editorially independent. | ||
And it's gonna be mostly video. | ||
And then another thing I'm gonna be doing is a fact-checking news aggregator. | ||
So... I'm, I'm... We gotta get, we gotta get space. | ||
A building. | ||
And the goal is gonna be to hire writers. | ||
Who basically will, we will have original reporting. | ||
So I'm gonna, I'm gonna try and find some legit journalists. | ||
Cool. | ||
And it is gonna be like... I'm trying to figure out how we can do the news where it's like first you get the facts, then you get our take. | ||
So you can stop reading, you can ignore it. | ||
Okay. | ||
But I think one of the challenges news faces is that everyone wants some analysis on it. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
Nobody wants to just read, like, everybody saw the tweet. | ||
We saw Trump do the backflip. | ||
We don't need to, you know, read your article about it. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
But then we would talk about context and then do, like, you know, analysis pieces after the fact. | ||
So that's like, that's... Long story short... Well, it sounds like they're a good team with you because they'll do it their way. | ||
And then I'll... And then you can give the analysis. | ||
Basically, the goal is to sit down in the morning with some people and be like, here are the stories that I think are really big that I want to talk about, and then have them be like, we need to fact-check this. | ||
So, it's a way of expanding, basically. | ||
It's already what I do, when I read a story and give my take on it. | ||
Now I'll have a fact-checking team, which I can make sure that I don't get things wrong, and then I can also do more. | ||
So like a story comes out and it's like Donald Trump threw, you know, food into the Koi pond. | ||
It's, it's, it's, I don't want it to be like, um, they have these fact-checking websites like factcheck.org and stuff. | ||
Okay. | ||
No, I want it to be like an actual destination where you can come, see videos, see other content, but you will get your articles with like, you know, a breakdown of like fact-checking different sources and things like that. | ||
That's the plan. | ||
That won't be Scanner. | ||
Scanner is video production. | ||
But this is the next, you know, mission. | ||
And the reason I'm separating them is the field reporting, the on-the-ground original reporting that they're doing needs to be protected and independent from me and from anybody else. | ||
There's a risk of bias, but the only thing I would ever do is if they ever came out and were like giving their opinions and stuff is when I would be like, kibosh, no dice. | ||
No, no, no. | ||
You're like, that's my job. | ||
No, it's just like... No, I know, I know, that's not what you want them to be. | ||
I don't think this is a perfect answer to anything that's going on in the culture war, because you can criticize me for writing on Democrats all day. | ||
It's funny, like, people post and they're like, oh, Tim does complain about, you know, Democrats, and I'm like, that's basically true. | ||
I mean, it's not entirely fair, because I do segments about UFOs, I do segments about media, and I'm very media critical. | ||
But the media and the Democrats are, like, very much in sync, and so you end up seeing a lot of fake news, and that's where the overlap comes. | ||
But then it's also, for me, it's like Trump is winning, Trump's been winning, and we're trying to track what are the Democrats doing. | ||
It's not news that Donald Trump is the president and he's running again. | ||
It is news what Joe Biden does. | ||
Yeah, very true. | ||
Look, I'm biased. | ||
It's just the way it is. | ||
By all means, you can rag on me all day and night, and I think it's fair. | ||
So I'm trying to figure out, how do you actually solve for that? | ||
Because I got opinions, man! | ||
I'm gonna complain about what I want to complain about. | ||
And you do it so well. | ||
And, well, here's the plan. | ||
I was like, here's what I'll do. | ||
I'll find some people that are, like, down and want to do journalism, and I'll help, you know, fund in a variety of ways. | ||
We did a crowdfunding thing, a bunch of people donated, and that is a way to have them be editorially independent and make sure news exists. | ||
And that is scnr.com. | ||
Check it out. | ||
And Rocco. | ||
And Rocco's on. | ||
We've got the vice people. | ||
Rocco's on the team. | ||
Such a cool team. | ||
I'm so excited. | ||
So I gotta say, someone just super chatted again. | ||
Another $100. | ||
Jeez. | ||
They said, it's payday for me. | ||
I'm in a good mood. | ||
Let's spin it again. | ||
That's Graphontero. | ||
Oh, I'm gonna spin it this time. | ||
Hold on, let's see. | ||
Wait, someone said spin it the other way. | ||
Can I do that? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Can I go the other way? | ||
Just hold it down and point it on the other side. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
Gonna come to a full stop. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
We're slowing. | ||
unidentified
|
Slowing. | |
Oh, we've stopped. | ||
We are going the other way. | ||
Yes! | ||
Spinning it! | ||
This is for you, Graph. | ||
Just keep going until it starts bouncing. | ||
I see the bounce. | ||
It's starting to wobble. | ||
Just wait. | ||
Just let it go. | ||
Just keep doing it. | ||
No, no, no, no. | ||
All right, all right, all right. | ||
No, that's good. | ||
That's good. | ||
It goes crazy. | ||
We gotta do super chats. | ||
It goes crazy. | ||
But thank you. | ||
Thank you, everybody. | ||
There are right now people listening on just like iTunes and they're like, I just hear a vacuum or something. | ||
What the heck is happening? | ||
Yes. | ||
What are they doing? | ||
It does sound like a vacuum. | ||
What kind of podcast? | ||
That's true. | ||
If you are on the podcast, we are spinning our UFO that this sucker to my left got on Instagram. | ||
It's paid for itself. | ||
It's paid for itself. | ||
Boom! | ||
I gotta give it to you. | ||
I gotta give it to you. | ||
unidentified
|
Dude. | |
Dude. | ||
It's a UFO that levitates. | ||
I know. | ||
It floats because of electromagnetism. | ||
It's kinda cool. | ||
Alright, that's cool. | ||
unidentified
|
That is awesome. | |
I just love busting you. | ||
Let's read some more Super Chats. | ||
Busting your chaps. | ||
We're supposed to be talking about space, bro. | ||
We'll get there. | ||
We'll get there. | ||
Let's see. | ||
X says, the real scandal is the FISA warrant on the cruise campaign. | ||
John Durham is gonna be done at the end of the month or mid-June and schools out forever. | ||
We've been hearing it. | ||
We've been hearing it. | ||
I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not entirely confident. | ||
Oh, thank you. | ||
Just want to say y'all are awesome. Tim and Adam hope to see skate videos soon. | ||
Lydia, you are a beautiful woman. Haven't forgot about your masks. | ||
I have been overwhelmed with orders. I still need your favorite color. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, thank you. | |
We had a crazy session, Adam. | ||
Wait, what's Lydia's favorite color? | ||
Oh, my favorite color? | ||
My favorite color is blue. | ||
You can't see it. | ||
There it is. | ||
It looks like black. | ||
Dark blue. | ||
Now you got it. | ||
Sorry, go ahead. | ||
What were you saying? | ||
I was gonna say, Adam did a fakie tail finger flip into the ramp today. | ||
I did. | ||
That's crazy. | ||
And it was great. | ||
It was really well done. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So he went up, fakie tail, grabbed it, finger flipped back in. | ||
That was bonkers. | ||
Yeah, that was a lot of fun. | ||
Yeah, so we had a really, really good session. | ||
But we'll get the skate videos coming soon. | ||
Yes, skate videos are coming soon. | ||
We're skating now with the mentality that we're going to make videos. | ||
And that's different. | ||
That's different when you're just like kind of skating, whatever, working on trick, you know, whatever. | ||
But I've got some crazy stuff to film. | ||
Then you want to do like a line. | ||
You do some like interesting tricks in a line. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
We're going to have some interesting skate videos coming soon. | ||
So for me, one of the things I'm trying to do is I used to skate mini ramp a whole lot and I got hurt kind of. | ||
I don't want to. | ||
I got hurt. | ||
And then I stopped skating mini ramp. | ||
And this was back when I was like 21. | ||
So now it's 13 years later and I barely skated mini ramp. | ||
So I'm like, I got to get everything back. | ||
But there's already some, some crazy tricks I've, I've been, I've been planning. | ||
I think today I I've been watching you. | ||
I mean, we've been skating. | ||
So like today, something clicked in your, that now you can now connect your street skating to the ramp. | ||
That's what it was. | ||
So I've always been mostly street skating. | ||
When I was younger, I was really, really, really good. | ||
And then I kind of just went to chill mode and just skated for fun. | ||
But I used to do crazy stuff like flip and flip out, nollie flip, you know, no slide, nollie heel nose, nollie flip front nose. | ||
Difficult tricks for those who don't know skateboarding. | ||
These are advanced tricks. | ||
They're difficult. | ||
They're no joke. | ||
Probably the best Flippin I'm like I think for me is not only he'll flip front crook To fakie yeah, and that was that was that was me skating 14 years ago So now I kind of just chill and do like a lot of basic stuff I don't really film a whole lot, but I'm hoping that with the ramp and skating more consistently. | ||
Yeah, I I've got some. | ||
Well, you've got a filmer. | ||
I've got some ideas. | ||
We're going to do some great segments. | ||
We're going to get crazy on this miniramp. | ||
Actually, we're not that far. | ||
I mean, Corona, but my buddy in New York makes skate videos. | ||
He can come down. | ||
I'm trying to get Brett to come down. | ||
That would be dope. | ||
Brett Novak, famous skate producer. | ||
If you don't know him, you should check him out. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Cause he's good. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Brett, Brett Novak. | ||
That would be dope to get Brett down. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I hit him up and I'm like, but we're all under pandemic. | ||
So yeah, dude, that would be a really good video. | ||
Yes. | ||
But I gotta, I gotta get my sea legs. | ||
I can skin and flat ground and do crazy tricks. | ||
You got him back today. | ||
That's what I'm saying. | ||
It clicked. | ||
Right. | ||
Now you got to connect them to the rest of the trace. | ||
So today was the day I started getting my, you know, just like actually being able to just do basics just on the mini ramp. | ||
Flip in stuff. | ||
And so probably I want to skate tomorrow, but I think it's better to do Sunday. | ||
We can do both. | ||
Sunday might be filmed because I might do some crazy stuff. | ||
I might just. | ||
OK. | ||
Just go nuts. | ||
I'll film you. | ||
We'll see. | ||
We'll see. | ||
I'll film you go nuts. | ||
Let's go. | ||
We'll see. | ||
Depends on the weather. | ||
All right. | ||
Where are we at? | ||
David says, hey Adam, is soy milk just normal milk introducing itself in Spanish? | ||
The people deserve to know. | ||
Yes. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes it is. | |
Soy milk. | ||
Vaj says, some people say it don't be like it is, but it do. | ||
unidentified
|
True. | |
That's the fact. | ||
Word. | ||
Kyle Buchanan says, Tim, think of OKC for your new home. | ||
We have fiber internet, cheap prices, and no gun laws. | ||
Yeah, but it's Central Time, isn't it? | ||
That guy who shrugs says, Hey Tim, wondering when you will write a book about your life. | ||
Would pre-order that in a heartbeat. The awesome stories about working in Vice alone would be | ||
awesome I'm sure. And I actually got a preliminary contract with a major, major talent agency and | ||
company years ago. Yeah, I was wondering, didn't you? Yeah. | ||
Did you have that book? And I spent, it fell apart. Ah. | ||
And it was... I kind of blame the agency. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Because they dropped the ball and everything. | ||
We actually had some TV show deals too. | ||
Really? | ||
And they wouldn't do the paperwork. | ||
And I'm like, hey man, hey, you know what? | ||
I don't care. | ||
That's annoying. | ||
If you don't have the time to bust... Although I'll keep it more family friendly. | ||
If you don't have the time to work hard, then neither do I. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
So if they drop the ball and mess up the contracts, I'm not going to sweat about it. | ||
I'm going to keep working and figure it out. | ||
And now guess what? | ||
Got a successful, you know, several successful YouTube channels. | ||
Yeah, but a really, really successful live podcast. | ||
That is correct. | ||
Yes. | ||
Highlight of your life. | ||
We've got Scanner taking off and there's great things. | ||
Scanner, well, I don't want to say too much, but they recently just produced something for a really, really big network. | ||
So we'll see how things play out. | ||
Oh man, I'm excited. | ||
But I'm like, Agent could have been involved. | ||
Yep, could have been. | ||
So, you know, maybe a book. | ||
There's a lot of stuff to write about. | ||
I could write a whole book on fake news, the media, manipulation. | ||
Your life, Tim. | ||
They want to know about your life. | ||
That was actually the story. | ||
So, the pitch that got accepted was three parts. | ||
And it was about me getting into the hacker community and my friends and social engineering stuff, then the height of the hacktivism and activism in Occupy Wall Street, and then into news media and fake news and all this stuff. | ||
And they actually storyboarded everything out. | ||
We walked through everything. | ||
And then the people they brought on messed everything up and fell apart. | ||
You still have all that information? | ||
No. | ||
Shame. | ||
I mean, probably somewhere, but I don't need it, whatever. | ||
I read it. | ||
It's crazy stories, man, like growing up on the south side of Chicago and... You're from Chicago? | ||
Gangbangers. | ||
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
You know, just like all the crazy stuff that went down. | ||
The hacker stuff, like... There's some crazy how I almost became a Bitcoin... I would be probably a Bitcoin millionaire right now. | ||
Shame. | ||
If not for my hacker buddy who told me not to do it. | ||
It was March... Why? | ||
March of 2011. | ||
Bitcoin was at, I think, 70 cents. | ||
For one Bitcoin? | ||
For one Bitcoin. | ||
Wow. | ||
And I said, I got five grand. | ||
I could buy five grand worth right now. | ||
This just hurt. | ||
Let's just move on. | ||
And he said, dude, what are you going to do with this? | ||
It's like, it's probably a scam. | ||
They're going to take your money. | ||
And then in a few months, it's not worth anything. | ||
And then I was like, it's probably good advice. | ||
And then like a couple months later, went to like five bucks. | ||
And now it's at like nine thousand or whatever. | ||
For one. | ||
Yeah, so if I had 6,000 Bitcoin at 9,000 apiece... You were gonna be alright? | ||
Uh, it's a funny story. | ||
It's a fun story. | ||
And it's funny because whenever I'm with my buddy, like, we excitedly tell the story. | ||
unidentified
|
Like, dude, he told me not to buy Bitcoin and I'd be so rich right now. | |
And it's funny. | ||
It's hilarious. | ||
It's like whatever, man. | ||
Funny! | ||
It would be a funny book! | ||
It's laugh or cry, man. | ||
I think it's funny, man. | ||
Or a little bit of both. | ||
Laugh and cry. | ||
Wolfsbane says, Hey Tim, did you see the newest episode of JRE? | ||
I didn't know the importance of vitamin D and it was very informative. | ||
Definitely. | ||
You gotta get sunlight. | ||
We were outside today getting our vitamin D. Oh man, sweating it out. | ||
Whoa. | ||
unidentified
|
Interesting. | |
says trump has a lot of hidden voters i think he has a lot of black propaganda just found out an | ||
old friend who's a major as a w is a secret trump supporter | ||
well you know i wouldn't be surprised if one of the reasons the polls heavily | ||
oppose trump he's a lot of trump supporters | ||
pretend to be leftists to make on the left and yet to make them get out there good | ||
you get someone coming out attacking you and insulting in berating you and you're | ||

mainstream media called me and said who you can vote for it be like that by then | ||
and and then i hang up and start laughing but they're not | ||

Yeah, that's wrong. | ||
That is not nice. | ||
I don't think it's wrong. | ||
At least bring a candle. | ||
Yeah, that is not friendly. | ||
Bring something. | ||
Light a match. | ||
Matthew Hammond says, West Tennessee has $70 a gig fiber to the home. | ||
That's cool. | ||
Chad says, if Dems drop Biden, then do they validate Obamagate? | ||
Slightly, but not enough for anything significant. | ||
No, they would drop him for his dementia. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
Jack Dawes says, with all these people leaving, or planning to leave, tyrannical centers right after the census, this is going to seriously mess up election predictions and campaign strategy for a long time. | ||
Yes it is. | ||
Oh yeah. | ||
Yep, good point. | ||
420,000 people have fled New York City. | ||
Wow. | ||
Mostly from Manhattan. | ||
And they're mostly rich. | ||
Yeah, I was just going to say that. | ||
They all rich. | ||
That's going to change. | ||
That's basically going to remove a congressional district. | ||
Yeah, but they're gone for now. | ||
They still own their penthouses. | ||
It's not like they left left. | ||
I think a lot of them- They went to their other houses. | ||
And they- Okay. | ||
The lockdown's continued. | ||
Sure. | ||
And the census- And they're sitting pretty in their other house. | ||
And the census went out and they're not there. | ||
Okay. | ||
So they don't fill out the census. | ||
So then the next two years come by and they say they don't live here. | ||
Right, right. | ||
And then they say we're redistricting. | ||
There's not enough people. | ||
Boom. | ||
AOC's gone. | ||
Yep. | ||
AOC was doing census drives, trying to get people to fill them out. | ||
Because she's going to lose her district. | ||
That sounds right. | ||
And then she's gone. | ||
Where does she run? | ||
She's famous, though. | ||
We'll see how that plays out. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Let's see. | ||
Chet Chisholm says, listen to the last podcast on the left, and no dogs in space. | ||
Soak your hand in Epsom salts to help get splinters out. | ||
The osmosis helps pull them free. | ||
It was big enough to where I just yanked it out. | ||
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
But this table, man. | ||
What's up with this? | ||
Yeah. | ||
We gotta put a cloth over it. | ||
Fast fashion, fast furniture. | ||
Yeah. | ||
James says, Kaylee McEnany, great press secretary or the greatest press secretary. | ||
I mean, so far, she's been the greatest. | ||
She comes equipped to go after the media. | ||
It's been hilarious. | ||
She brings those receipts. | ||
I love it. | ||
I saw her shut the dude down with the fedora on. | ||
He's like, well, what about this? | ||
This is something you said. | ||
And she's like, yeah, we're not here to talk about me. | ||
We're here to talk about the president. | ||
And I'm backing him. | ||
And then I was like, oh, dang! | ||
She did a thing where they were like, the guy's like, will you walk back the claims you made about Trump? | ||
And she goes, will the media walk back the claim where they said the coronavirus is not as bad as the flu? | ||
Where Vox said, and it was like, whoa! | ||
Oh, snaps! | ||
It is satisfying to watch. | ||
Dude, why are they arguing with her? | ||
I don't know. | ||
It's so dumb. | ||
You personally said something that no one cares about. | ||
Care to explain? | ||
How are you informing me by asking her feelings? | ||
She's a press secretary. | ||
Donald Trump said that he wants to have the military come to deliver vaccines. | ||
Is there a timeline for this? | ||
We don't have a viable vaccine yet, but my assumption would then be that there's going to be a mobilization beforehand. | ||
Can you comment? | ||
And then she would say, yes, the current plan is X, Y, and Z. Thank you for clarifying that. | ||
I will send that to my audience. | ||
Instead, they're like, Donald Trump, you're an awful person. | ||
How do you respond to that? | ||
Like that lady who was like, you're treating this like a global competition. | ||
Can you comment? | ||
And Trump was like, what? | ||
Ask China. | ||
unidentified
|
And then she goes, Trump, because I'm Chinese? | |
How dare you? | ||
She pulls her mask down and goes, why are you asking me that? | ||
It's like, shut up, you self-righteous twat. | ||
Am I allowed to say that? | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know! | |
Wow! | ||
Getting spicy! | ||
It's British. | ||
It is British. | ||
It doesn't count. | ||
It doesn't count. | ||
Spicy is spicy, man. | ||
I love it. | ||
Think about how self-righteous you have to be to be like, how dare China insult China? | ||
How dare Trump? | ||
Insult China to me, a person of Asian descent. | ||
I especially like that she had to remove her mask to show that she was Asian. | ||
unidentified
|
It's like, all right, well, obviously that was what he was getting at. | |
It's just that, aha! | ||
I got you! | ||
That's all it was. | ||
That's all it was. | ||
And then the other woman from CNN, she's trying to interrupt Trump. | ||
She's like, no, not you. | ||
And she goes, but can I ask? | ||
And he's like, no. | ||
And then she argues with him. | ||
It's the craziest thing to me, man. | ||
It's like you're in a press conference. | ||
You raise your hand, they call on you and say, I have two questions. | ||
No, not you, him. | ||
Sorry. | ||
Done. | ||
That's it. | ||
It's like, okay. | ||
He was trying to ask somebody else. | ||
We're done. | ||
You know what, man? | ||
There it is. | ||
People are saying he said it. | ||
It's British. | ||
It doesn't count. | ||
So I'm fine. | ||
I think. | ||
Maybe. | ||
I guess we'll see, huh? | ||
Whatever. | ||
Trump acquitted for life, says Obamagate. | ||
Bombagate's crazy, man. | ||
Joe Biden tried lying that he wasn't involved. | ||
This was actually crazy. | ||
Bill Hammer of Fox News asked the DNC's communications director, there was no evidence of a crime, why did they seek unmasking of Flint? | ||
There was no reason to get that information. | ||
Unmasking is supposed to be something important pertaining to a law enforcement action you are engaged in. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
Nope. | ||
Shady business. | ||
Shady. | ||
Dodie Williams says, the million dollar question. | ||
Tim, when was the last time you completely shaved your facial hair? | ||
A long time ago. | ||
That is a million dollar question. | ||
Really? | ||
It's a long time? | ||
I don't do straight razor. | ||
So that's just... Oh, I guess I don't either. | ||
I just do like a... What's it called? | ||

Yes. | ||
Oh, thank goodness. | ||
I'm going to be bowling soon. | ||
Two things. | ||
That's right. | ||
That's where my mind goes. | ||
Live viewer counts are going down across the board for everybody. | ||
Right. | ||
Including us. | ||
Like we were hitting like 15k a month ago. | ||
Oh yeah, that's right. | ||
Because people aren't indoors. | ||
unidentified

You know what? | |
Good for them. | ||
But you guys are here with us. | ||
Podcast views are going up. | ||
You know why? | ||
unidentified

People are doing stuff. | |
People listen to podcasts as they drive places. | ||
You can see the lockdowns being lifted. | ||
So our podcast is doing well. | ||
Doing really well, yeah. | ||

That sounds like Florida, man. | ||
Something I need to see. | ||
I think one of my favorite comments on it was, I want to know the next move for the man that lassoed the tiger. | ||
I agree. | ||
Yeah, what do you do? | ||
Then what do you do? | ||
You gotta wrestle him. | ||
Yeah, I don't know. | ||
Bomchu says, Rick and Morty is a perfect example of lazy media. | ||
All that crap nowadays either looks like it was made by a high schooler or on a computer. | ||
All trash. | ||
Oh, wait, you mean the Rick and Morty story? | ||
Or the show itself? | ||
I think the lazy media, though. | ||
The media is... Yeah, right. | ||
Lazy media. | ||
I like Rick and Morty. | ||

Yes, oh man. I would have all the superpowers Superpowers? | ||
That's right. | ||
All right. | ||
Soyperpowers? | ||
Soyperpowers. | ||
Well, actually, in the latest episode of Rick and Morty, Jesus is in it. | ||
And it's, like, weird. | ||
Oh, really? | ||
And then, you know, Morty makes a comment about it being, like, too much and offensive. | ||
And then Rick's like, we were literally saved by Jesus Christ. | ||
How could that be offensive? | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
Literally saved by Jesus Christ. | ||
The crazy one says, more cat! | ||

Trash is the place. | ||
unidentified

Yep. | |
Jeremiah says, Adam, are you happy with the Yao fanfic? | ||
Because it means no fanfiction with you and Soy Freya. | ||
Also, can you clip out Find Yourself and publish it? | ||
A lot of people are asking, and we can do that, right? | ||
We do what? | ||
I played a song of mine called Find Yourself on Friday before you got here. | ||
Well, I mean, I could play it, but it's with Nish. | ||
She came and joined us, so it was both of us. | ||
She sang a little. | ||
We might be able to. | ||
Sometimes YouTube doesn't allow you to download for some reason, and because they're live streams, but we'll figure it out. | ||
We can screen grab it or something. | ||
Okay. | ||
Yeah, we'll figure it out. | ||
What was the first question, though? | ||
Are you happy with the Yao fanfic because it means no fanfiction with you and Soy Freya? | ||
I mean, that's that's not necessarily true. | ||
There's still time for fanfiction for Soy Freya to be introduced. | ||
unidentified
|
Oof. | |
We got too many superchats. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Too many superchats. | ||
We are very lucky. | ||
This is I gotta be honest with you guys. | ||
Superchat is bigger than we've had in a really, really long time. | ||
We are we are absolutely Yeah, but you know what? | ||
You guys gotta know, we're gonna play a song at the end of the show. | ||
We are, we have to leave some time. | ||
Well, two songs, right? | ||
Oh, are we both playing? | ||
Well, you gotta play first. | ||
Oh, wait, let's check the Twitter. | ||
I posted a Twitter, um... A poll? | ||
Yeah, a poll yesterday to see who should play a song. | ||
And there's like 2,000 votes on it right now. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, dang. | |
It's crazy how many votes are on it. | ||
What do the people say? | ||
I think you're winning. | ||
You're beating me. | ||
Adam's like, Tim, retweet it. | ||
I'm like, if I retweet it, people are going to vote for me. | ||
I think I'm doing fairly good. | ||
You are. | ||
65% want you to play a song. | ||
35% want me to play a song. | ||
You're going to play first so I can do the audio levels. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, okay. | |
I'm going to rock a song. | ||
One of the issues is that... You're getting both! | ||
Who knew? | ||
The audio levels are a challenge if I sing louder than you. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Do you? | ||
It depends on the song I'm playing, actually. | ||
You're pretty consistent with your volume. | ||
I don't know. | ||
It changes with my songs. | ||
I don't know what I'll play. | ||
We'll see what happens. | ||
We're gonna play some music! | ||
Is the jam cam on? | ||
I think so, yeah. | ||
It is! | ||
Look, the 12-string is not in its usual place. | ||
It's over there waiting. | ||
Get ready to go. | ||
Look at her fine booty. | ||
The easiest way to get things set up was that we just have this one mic ready to go. | ||
I guess we'll see how things go. | ||
Let's read some more Super Chats! | ||
Jack Daw says, please do a deep dive on the past, present, and future of skateboarding. | ||
Oh, that's fun. | ||
Yeah, we could, for sure. | ||
That's noted. | ||
Thank you. | ||
St. | ||
Grizzly says, Tim, switch seats with Lydia. | ||
We've already seen your face all day every day in Timcast. | ||
Now it's her turn to shine. | ||
I dunno, it's a pretty heavy seat to sit in. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
It's the throne. | ||
I've been in that seat. | ||
it's it's you gotta you gotta work you gotta work it yeah the crazy one said | ||
if Voldemort's whistleblower report caused a trial that ended in not guilty | ||
does that mean Voldemort failed filed filed a false report if that is so | ||
shouldn't there be charges against him that's a that's a leap but it does raise | ||
questions which may result because they're there some people have I think | ||
Jim Jordan may have brought it up I'm not entirely sure, but yeah, he might end up getting called out. | ||
Graf Von Tirol says, the Karens have yanked the license away from the barber after the court sided with him. | ||
The current pandemic has shown beyond reproach that Democrats are petty and tyrannical when push comes to shove. | ||
That's true. | ||
But man, I don't trust the Republicans when they go in the Senate and they're like, we're going to vote for FISA powers. | ||
And it's like, this caused the problems for Trump. | ||
Don't you get that? | ||
That's why I'm just, you know what, man? | ||
I don't like anybody. | ||
Rand Paul's cool. | ||
unidentified
|
He's like one of the best politicians. | |
Dan Crenshaw's cool. | ||
But Dan Crenshaw's been wrong on a lot of things. | ||
But that's not fair. | ||
Does he admit he's wrong? | ||
He does. | ||
And that's not fair for me because Rand Paul's been wrong on things as well. | ||
But Rand Paul is just principled and consistent. | ||
That's why I respect it. | ||
Always that no vote. | ||
I did not. | ||
Haven't seen it. | ||
Have you seen the Rekia that media's vid on Arbery shooting? | ||
He broke it down with Andrew Branca of law of self-defense. I did not haven't seen it | ||

companies You know, we got Scanner, we got a bunch of things, so... It's not the same, like, if you're an individual personality with a show and someone wants to sign you, that makes sense, but I have, like, three different companies. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
So it'd be really weird, like, me working for a different company and then having my own company, and... Yeah. | ||
Nah, man, we're taking over. | ||
We're gonna be, uh... Yes, we are taking over. | ||
What did Shane use to say? | ||
Shane Smith of Vice said we were gonna be the CNN of the street. | ||
Reference to Vice. | ||
Okay. | ||
We are going to be a reinvigorated OG style vice. | ||
Mixed with OG MTV. | ||
Yeah, music videos. | ||
Yep. | ||
It's gonna be awesome. | ||
Well, music more. | ||
Nah, we're gonna do the cool stuff that used to be fun on the internet and they changed it because they wanted to pander. | ||
Yep. | ||
LaSalle says, have a great weekend. | ||
We will. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Sam says, Pearl Harbor would also be the UK's fault because the Japanese took notes when the Royal Navy attacked Toronto a year prior. | ||
Checkmate. | ||
Vidya Bros says, according to South Park, it takes 22.3 years for something tragic to be funny. | ||

Cheers. | ||
Appreciate it. | ||

|
Nice. | |
Thanks, man. | ||
Emin Sol says, any advice for an author getting into media and press? | ||
I honestly have no idea. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I really don't. | ||

It's really hard. | ||
Allergies. | ||

Oof. | |
Vash says, I remember when it was a right-wing trope to be outraged over 9-11 jokes. | ||

Graf Von Tierl says, they turned themselves into fake news. | ||
Funniest crap I've ever seen. | ||
Just a no-tool. | ||
BBC article, how deep are Saudi Arabia's troubles? | ||
Me, deep enough for 9-11 jokes on Rick and Morty. | ||
What were they talking about? | ||
Impractical Smoker says it was funny. | ||
Yo, Tim, you think people depending on the stimulus and unemployment will push for socialism? | ||
Not necessarily. | ||
I don't think so. | ||
Mr. Snicker says, may the great nipple wars commence. | ||
That's Rick and Morty. | ||
STFU, the human centipede of modern journalism. | ||
Yeah, that's all the journalists swirling around. | ||
Midland says, Evening Tim and Co. | ||
I'm so bored. | ||
I'm watching the house livestream plus you guys. | ||
Also, how about a P.O. | ||
Box fan mail Friday? | ||
Keep up the good work. | ||
We could. | ||
We don't get that much mail. | ||
I think I get like, I don't know, once a week I might get a couple things. | ||
We get like normal person mail. | ||
unidentified
|
Nothing crazy. | |
So if y'all want to send mail, go to timcast.com slash donate, and there's a P.O. | ||
Box. | ||
Send all of the things, and if we get enough, we could do a mail opening thing. | ||
You know, like Friday, be like, we're gonna open all the mail. | ||
Yeah, okay. | ||
Alright, I think we have to actually start speeding up now, as it is 9.30. | ||
We've got to talk about the sun. | ||
Oh my gosh, we have so many superchats. | ||
Thank you everybody, my goodness. | ||
Brutal. | ||
Too much. | ||
It's too much. | ||
Maybe. | ||
It's not enough. | ||
Maybe a little. | ||
It's not enough. | ||
More Super Chats. | ||
We're going to speed things up. | ||
JustDavid says, last show gave me an idea. | ||
Maybe some of the people wanting lockdown want it to economically damage the U.S. | ||
because they loathe it. | ||
Socialists, communists, postmodernists wanting to knock the West back on its heels. | ||
That's a fact. | ||
Thanks for the Super Chat, Connie B. | ||
Thank you, yeah. | ||
That's what it is! | ||
coming to member. Appreciate you. Yeah. GH says, what do you think about white | ||
female journalists writing? Karen is sexist and now racist. | ||
Now it's a popular term, even though it came from minorities. They | ||
think they just they think they just don't like getting a taste of own medicine. | ||
Of course, that's what it is. Of course, of course. Rob says people | ||
are worried about the wrong things. | ||
If you don't like the show, don't watch it or change the channel. | ||
Open your eyes to the reality of the craziness in the world. | ||
Boom. | ||
For sure. | ||
Jason says, beanies are now even bigger. | ||
Jeff Dunham just revealed his new puppet. | ||
He is a beanie-wearing internet troll. | ||
Jeff is still taking suggestions for a name for him. | ||
What would you suggest? | ||
Ruttiger. | ||
Zipties says, re-black propaganda. | ||
That's good. | ||
You should check out the movie Wag the Dog. | ||
It's a 90s movie about politicians trying to use fake news to influence popular sentiment. | ||
Cool. | ||
Never seen it. | ||
I'll check it out. | ||
Heard of it. | ||
Kevin Mullally says, we need a Tim Pool and Alex Jones trapped in an alien fantasy world anime. | ||
That'd be fun. | ||
Yuri says, what happens if a man wins Miss Monopoly despite the handicap? | ||
He's a bigot. | ||
unidentified
|
Probably. | |
You actually can't win. | ||
It's written in the rules. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Is it? | |
I mean, it's a lot harder. | ||
I don't know if that would make sense. | ||
I'm just joking. | ||
Actually, you don't buy things. | ||
You, like, invest in women's inventions or something. | ||
Okay, then you're never gonna be able to get anything. | ||
unidentified
|
Seriously? | |
That's how it works? | ||
Yeah. | ||
So, like, Spanx. | ||
And I'm not kidding. | ||
Like, I'm pretty sure it's one of the things in there. | ||
Wow. | ||
You know what Spanx are? | ||
I do, unfortunately. | ||
I don't really know what they are. | ||
It's like pantyhose or something? | ||
Yep. | ||
There you go. | ||
JDNX says Joe Biden is Hillary Clinton in a Donald Trump mask, complete with a veneer of confusing, belligerent language and a sexual assault. | ||
Let's see. | ||

I can't hit the links in the Super Chat. | ||
Sorry. | ||
David, thanks for coming to Super Chat. | ||
Jmax says, we have an example of universal healthcare. | ||
It's the military. | ||
Except most of the members are required to be moderately healthy. | ||
Took me eight months to get an x-ray after an accident. | ||
Needless spinal surgery, years of corrective procedures, and nothing to show. | ||
The B.R.A.T., thanks for joining. | ||
Thank you. | ||
A.A.B. | ||
says, what happened to Occupy Wall Street? | ||
They got kicked out of the park, they fizzled out, people got bored with it. | ||
Mr. Dan says, if you go skiing and break your leg, you did that, so why would that be different? | ||
I don't know what that's in reference to, what's that in reference to? | ||
Because we were talking about universal Medicare, so if you break your leg, you know. | ||
unidentified
|
That's an extenuating circumstance, right? | |
That's true, but you didn't have to go skiing. | ||
That's the point they're making. | ||
That's something you sign when you ski. | ||
Nobody goes skiing expecting to break their legs. | ||
But you sign. | ||
That's also a good point. | ||
You're increasing the risk to do it, but also people who are physically active are | ||
less likely to be hurt. | ||
So if you're skiing, you're being physically active. | ||
It kind of counters it out. | ||
If you're morbidly obese and go skiing, well, you're morbidly obese, so that contributed to the injury. | ||
A healthy, fit person has an accident. | ||
Accidents happen. | ||
So we cover those. | ||
But it's a complicated question of where to draw the line when we implement something like that. | ||
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt says, Hey Beanie Brigade, you keep talking about relocation with West Kansas very libertarian and still moderate. | ||
Mind your own business mentality. | ||
Since you like traveling via road, we're halfway to everywhere. | ||
But we want to do a retail shop. | ||
That's one of the things. | ||
So gotta be like somewhat. | ||
There's talks of a skate brand. | ||
Time to go. | ||
Yes. Me so trashed as I live and work near Seattle. A customer, old white woman, told me that this virus is our | ||

People. | |
punishment for how we white people treated Africans in the past. I'm so sick of this area. | ||
unidentified
|
Time to go. | |
It's almost like the people who claimed the hurricanes hitting Louisiana were in response to gay marriage or | ||
whatever. People, they believe stuff. | ||
Yep. | ||
Crazy. | ||
Like Fry Like Fry says, Right on. | ||
Unfortunately, people are sheeple. | ||
unidentified

True. | |

Eric Idle says, and has on his guitar, don't apologize for being funny. | ||
Remember, F them if they can't take a joke. | ||
William Eggleston says, so when are you going to change the name of this podcast to Timcast, | ||
Soy Jesus, and Chick in the Background? | ||
That is a long title. | ||
Gabriel McLeod says, this is for Adam. | ||
Last podcast, people called you Soy Jesus or something, and you gave the wrong pose. | ||
You need to model it after Buddy Christ from Dogma. | ||
It's on YouTube. | ||
That was this. | ||
Oh, that. | ||
unidentified
|
Buddy Christ. | |
Oh, this. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Buddy Christ. | ||

Was that good? | |
Was that better? | ||
That was great. | ||
I like that. | ||
Kyle says, please do a studio tour video. | ||

We are closing out with a jam. | ||

Bobcat. | |
Stop it. | ||
If we go. | ||
No, really stop. | ||
Let me read. | ||
If we go several weeks without the Chinese military trying to provoke something, that's when you need to worry about a war. | ||
What you've been noticing lately is just status quo. | ||
And that's what I've been pointing out. | ||
That this tit-for-tat stuff seems to be, it could be just normal and we're just focused on it now. | ||
BlackRockBeacon says, Scanner looks promising. | ||
Looking to do similar work as I develop the business. | ||
Except I am trained counter-insurgent with over 10 years of experience. | ||
Maybe one day we'll collab. | ||
Keep up the good work. | ||
Appreciate it. | ||
It's Fat Ed says, Mr. Poole, how do you rectify the want to be an activist versus the fact that I have to work every day and can't make the time to go make a change? | ||
Is there a middle ground that I can choose? | ||
That's the problem. | ||
These leftists who go out and protest all the time don't have jobs. | ||
And it's no surprise they demand the government pay them. | ||
Not all of them, but many of them. | ||
And that's the challenge. | ||
Conservatives tend to have those jobs. | ||
Sure. | ||
Forced Out says, The Beanie Master, Soy Jesus, and that girl over there. | ||

Now there is a mushroom shortage about to hit stores. | ||
No! | ||
No, I need my mushrooms! | ||
Wow, crazy stuff. | ||
I feel like next year is going to be just one hiccup after another. | ||
Oh, but I love pepperoni and mushroom. | ||
Let's just grow our own mushrooms. | ||
I don't know how to do that. | ||
My cousin ran a mushroom farm in Minnesota. | ||
You'll be in charge of the mushrooms. | ||
I'll hit him up. | ||
I'll hit him up. | ||
He'll be like, what do I do? | ||
Hey Tim, I've been learning a lot from you about journalism over the past couple of years. | ||
I'm fed up with the political bias on both sides. | ||
I'm 25, a pretty moderate conservative, and want to help spread the truth. | ||
Any advice? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Depends on what you need to do. | ||
If you want to spread the truth, just read as much as you can, I guess. | ||
Talk to your friends about it. | ||
Look, man, I'm biased, too. | ||
Obviously, I rag on Democrats all the time. | ||
I don't know if there's a solution. | ||
I think the solution might be Scanner. | ||
That's why I'm interested in making sure that they have their independence and can do real journalism without someone coming in and trying to jam them up and make them do biased nonsense. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Mr. Scratch says the Tony Hawk 1 and 2 remake is coming out in September. | ||

Alright. | ||
For my pre-order. | ||
Tyler Wood says, Hey Tim, I didn't know you were from the area until last year at the Minds event. | ||
It showed me challenging each other's ideas can be friendly and constructive. | ||
Another one would be great after all this. | ||
I'd love to do it. | ||
Once we get a building, it'll be great. | ||
Tina Marie says, some pocket change just for Miss Lydia. | ||
You need to be on camera more. | ||

Oh, your beard's gone. | ||
You know what? | ||
We went, it was a crazy skate session. | ||
We skated for almost two hours, man. | ||
And it was hot outside. | ||
So I just, I can't skate with a beard. | ||

It's too hot for a beard now. | ||

I just, I just got Arena again. | ||
I have it. | ||
I used to play it more and then I tend to, I stopped playing Final Fantasy VII Remake, Doom Eternal. | ||
There's a few games that are kind of keeping me busy right now. | ||
Most, like I went online looking up Ikoria sets. | ||
They're all sold out. | ||
Really? | ||
Yeah. | ||
I found some stores and I was able to make some orders, but I was like going to the usual stores and they're like sold out, sold out, sold out. | ||
Wow. | ||
It's the manufacturing bump. | ||
Yeah, that's right. | ||
Because they're all printed in China. | ||
Are they? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yep, there it is. | ||
You can't get them from China anymore. | ||
They're gonna look- I bet the next set, they're gonna be printed very differently. | ||
It's gonna be noticeable. | ||

Have some money. | ||
Thank you. | ||
That's the opposite of what's supposed to happen. | ||
I appreciate that. | ||
Thank you, though. | ||
Happy birthday. | ||

Mossy Creek says, my distributors reached out to me today and let me know that there's a massive mushroom shortage coming right now. | ||
Also, you should totally move your op to Knoxville, Tennessee. | ||
We still love freedom here and low cost of living. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I just went with it. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
see senate just passed a bill allowing fbi overreach in no warrants for search | ||
history yet don't know if it fully passed but mother board was reporting | ||
it was to remove that ability democrats supported removing ability and republicans for | ||
unidentified
|
the most part just went defended it and bernie was nowhere to be found like i | |
i saw that the The ticket. | ||
And it looked like Democrats and Republicans were all over the place. | ||
unidentified
|
It was. | |
Yes and no. | ||
But it was mostly Republicans that voted to keep it. | ||
And most Democrats voted to get rid of it, along with many Republicans. | ||
So it wasn't completely Republican-Democrat. | ||
It was mixed. | ||
But where was Bernie? | ||
He could have voted. | ||
He could have knocked it down. | ||
Evan says, Tim, why do you decry when innocent people die by the state or by accident, but you don't shed a tear when innocent babies are killed? | ||
That is an ethical and moral conundrum that is too complicated to discuss in a short question. | ||
I had a really great conversation with Glenn Beck about it, and ultimately it's just, there's a serious freedom challenge in terms of the rights of individuals, the rights | ||
of the states, and there, I don't know, I don't know it's tough, but I | ||
think the conversation with Glenn Beck, if you check it out, it's on his podcast. | ||
Great conversation. | ||
Yeah, that's where you can find something good. | ||
Duckduckgee says, shout out to my fellow IT professionals who keep the world turning. | ||
Yeah, man. | ||
Downskated says, Tim, if you're going to speak about the South China Sea, look up Defense Update's video about the USS Barry and China Uncensored on the Nine-Dash Line. | ||
These issues have been long ongoing in the region. | ||
Will do. | ||
Dominic says, big cheese. | ||
Appreciate it. | ||

You can't have my boomstick. | ||
I'm also attempting to organize the LA homeless. | ||
I need connections. | ||
And where were we just now? | ||
Here we go. | ||
Let's see, White Thatch, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
Thank you. | ||
And he says, three ideas. | ||
Scanner. | ||
Use Wikipedia-like references in the articles so we can follow the research. | ||
Use a differential backup of the stories like news diffs for edits and editorial correction if you can store it on blockchain. | ||
That would be cool. | ||
I especially want to make sure we have edit history in all the stories so you can actually look to see the changes and explanations for changes and things like that. | ||
Yeah, like Wikipedia. | ||
That's a good idea. | ||
Um, we should be talking right now about outer space. | ||
Yes, we absolutely should. | ||
Yeah, let's get into this because this freaked me out when you showed me this. | ||
I was like, what? | ||
I am really excited. | ||
Oh, this is different. | ||
Yeah, the sun is going on lockdown. | ||
This is the most important story. | ||
We do have one where we're talking about UFOs or whatever. | ||
But this lockdown is really interesting because it kind of goes into, you know, the global warming. | ||
Coronavirus has reached the sun. | ||
It's the sun. | ||
The sun is going into... The Democrats have told the sun to stay at home. | ||
Yep. | ||
Don't go out. | ||
It's going into lockdown. | ||
We gotta keep you in lockdown, sun. | ||
Well, they can't have the sunlight disinfecting the coronavirus. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, that's true. | |
That's fair. | ||
Okay, we're joking. | ||
Don't ban us, YouTube. | ||
We're not conspiracy theorists. | ||
Let's read. | ||
That was definitely a joke, YouTube. | ||
But this is interesting. | ||
It's called something, a solar minimum. | ||
We did briefly mention it before on a past episode, but we're going to do it again. | ||
We're going to jump into this story. | ||
Let's see what's going on. | ||
Yeah, let's do this. | ||
The Daily Mail reports, now the sun has gone into lockdown. | ||
Reduced activity on solar surface has sparked fears of a doomsday mini ice age. | ||
So is it time we saw the light? | ||
Asks Jane Fryer. | ||
Big news this week about the giant, burning, boiling, spinning thermonuclear reactor, which lies 93 million miles away from Earth, but is our primary source of life-giving heat and light. | ||
That was the stupidest way to say we have news about the sun. | ||
What on Earth was that? | ||
I don't want to be mean, but come on, man. | ||
That writing is terrible. | ||
Alright, I'm gonna just skip over this weird waste of time. | ||
That's really what it is. | ||
Holy moly. | ||
It turns out the sun has gone into lockdown, recession, or more accurately, a deep period of solar minimum, which means that the activity on the sun's surface has fallen dramatically, and its magnetic field has become weaker, letting into the environment more of the sort of cosmic rays that cause dramatic lightning storms and interfere with astronauts and space hardware. | ||
They can also lead to the explosion of sprites, clusters of orange and red lights that shoot out of the top of thunderstorms like 60-mile-high palm trees in the sky. | ||
That is awesome. | ||
That is so cool. | ||
Oh, yes. | ||
And on top of all of that, theoretically, it could cause the temperature on Earth to drop to potentially catastrophic new lows. | ||
While the Met Office and members of the Royal Astronomical Society are urging us not to panic and reminding us that this is just nature, nothing to worry about, and the sort of thing that happens every 11 years or so as the sun passes through its activity cycle, some doom-and-gloomers are much less optimistic. | ||
I'm gonna just interject a bit, and, um, nature is scary, and nature is often reason to panic. | ||
Like, if a volcano explodes and you're nearby, well, you don't want to panic, but you should be alert and worried and running. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So I think it's funny that, like, it's just nature, calm down! | ||
Yeah, someone mentioned Tennessee as a potential spot. | ||
All I can think is, don't they have tornadoes every year that rip through Tennessee in the center? | ||
Well, you know, we can't run from the sun, so if the sun stops... Yeah, that's a good point. | ||
It's just, I wouldn't panic. | ||
You know what? | ||
I'd just kick back, put my feet up and be like, well, what are you gonna do? | ||
unidentified
|
I know you. | |
You'd drive that van down by the river, wouldn't you? | ||
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
If the world was ending and the sun was going out, I'd just sit back and be like, meh. | ||
I'd probably go skate the ramp. | ||
That would work. | ||
Like, well, skate into infinity. | ||
I just, I probably would do nothing different. | ||
I'd be like, well, here we go. | ||
What if like, what would you do if say like Australia right now got hit by like a massive, you know, just like asteroid or meteor or whatever. | ||
Okay. | ||
And then we were told- Hold on, hold on. | ||
Why Australia? | ||
Because we're far away from it. | ||
Okay, good. | ||
And then you got told- Good reason. | ||
Like on the news, they were like, the impact wave will reach, you know, the East coast of the United States in one hour. | ||
And so we're sitting here, like you can see the glow in the sky. | ||
And we're like, in one hour, this devastating wave will destroy, will just like, we're dead. | ||
Yep. | ||
You have one hour. | ||
Wow. | ||
Would it be crazy? | ||
That would be nuts. | ||
That would be nuts. | ||
What would you do? | ||
I would probably find Nish. | ||
Yep, yep, yep, yep. | ||
And spend that hour with her. | ||

|
An extreme solar minimum is thought to have contributed to the so-called Little Ice Age in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. | |
Yeah, the way I see it is like when you're dead you're not gonna care. | ||
Right. So, all right, but let's read it. Let's check out this photograph. I love this. What is | ||
this? An extreme solar minimum is thought to have contributed to the so-called Little Ice Age in | ||
Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. When the temperatures fell so low the River Thames froze | ||
over. Yeah, and it snowed in July. | ||
What is this picture? | ||
That is not what happened in the 17th and 18th century. | ||
Okay, for those that are just listening, it is like Big Ben covered in ice, frozen up to the clock, and there's like some kind of tanker, like boat, ship, just in the snow. | ||
Yeah, somehow up like halfway through like the distance of Big Ben, too. | ||
unidentified
|
It's because the water level rose, I guess, and so they're... It's beautiful, but that has never happened. | |
Alright, well check it out, there's some cool stuff. | ||
She writes, perhaps they're haunted by the extreme solar minimum, thought to have contributed to the so-called Little Ice Age in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. | ||
When the temperature fell so low, the River Thames froze over, crops failed, lightning storms lit up the skies, and in 1816 the weather was so crazy that it snowed in July. | ||
As we all know, the Sun, which is 4.5 billion years old, and more than a million times bigger than the Earth, is not only a source of cheer when it finally pops out from behind the clouds, it also keeps us alive. | ||
Which means that the tiniest change in its activity levels can have extraordinary consequences triggering lightning storms, the appearance or disappearance of the northern lights, and those amazing sprites. | ||
But the sun's activity is changing constantly as it passes through its regular cycle, from solar maximum, hottest and most active, to solar minimum, quiet and cooler. | ||
Since the 17th century, scientists have been measuring the depth of a solar minimum by counting the sunspots, areas of magnetic activity on the solar surface, which show up as relatively dark spots, and solar flares, large explosions that hurl charged particles into space. | ||
The general rule is the fewer the sunspots, the more severe the minimum and the higher the chances of lightning storms, sprites, and disruption of Earth. | ||
So far this year, the sun has been blank, with no sunspots, 76% of the time. | ||
A figure passed just once since the 50s last year, when it was 77% blank. | ||
So could we be heading for a grand solar minimum, based on a sustained period, decades, even centuries, or particularly weak solar cycle? | ||
Are we now on top of everything else facing another mini ice age? So what do you think? | ||
Huh interesting. So so we could actually be All this climate change the climate that we've been saving | ||
our lives. Yeah, we've been messing it up Preparing for the temperature to be lower, but we've been | ||
raising it. So it's actually just gonna be normal It's just gonna be normal for a while | ||
They knew it was coming. | ||
They planned it. | ||
They were like, man, look at all this global warming. | ||
I know what we need to do. | ||
We need to burn off a bunch of CO2, warm up the planet. | ||
That way we don't have a mini Ice Age. | ||
Yeah, there you go. | ||
It reminds me of Futurama. | ||
Of course. | ||
Why is it always this show? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Because it's a genius show. | ||
Because it's sci-fi. | ||
True. | ||
And because we talk a lot about, you know, kind of sci-fi stuff. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
But they, to combat global warming, they just went to a comet and took a big piece of ice and dropped it into the earth. | ||
Okay. | ||
To like, because it cooled it down. | ||
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
Such a great episode. | ||
and then they need a bigger and bigger ice block every single time they do it | ||
and so the final solution is all the robots aim their exhaust | ||
their butts to the sky and then exhaust and it pushes the earth | ||
a few meters away creating an extra week or something but also cooling the earth | ||
unidentified
|
down that's how they solve the problem. That's awesome. | |
So what's gonna happen right? | ||
They say 200 years ago, we were deep in the midst of the Dalton Minimum, which occurred between 1790 and 1830 and was marked by periods of brutal cold. | ||
Temperatures fell by 2 degrees Celsius over 20 years, which may not sound much, but had the effect of devastating the world's food production and causing widespread famine. | ||
So we're about to add this on top of this pandemic. | ||
That's interesting though, because aren't we at the point of about one to two degrees higher than average? | ||
I have no idea. | ||
So what I just said as a joke could potentially actually be the truth. | ||
But we didn't do it on purpose. | ||
No, I know that. | ||
I was basically, we did it on accident. | ||
We're not on accident. | ||
We were like, are in the industrial revolution. | ||
It just kind of happened, you know, as we developed. | ||
What you're saying is that humans collectively slipped on a banana peel, but pulled off a perfect backflip. | ||
And landed on, like, a throne. | ||
Indeed. | ||
Like, oh! | ||
I meant to do that. | ||
Yeah, but what happens after the ten years? | ||
Well, then it's gonna spike back up to really hot temperatures. | ||
Unless the solar activity, well, we're not at maximum. | ||
In 40 years of solar minimums. | ||
They said the misery was exacerbated by powerful volcanic eruptions. | ||
Wow. | ||
The second largest volcanic eruption in 2,000 years happened on Mount Timbora in Indonesia, killing more than 71,000 people. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
And plunging the temperature still lower as giant ash clouds blocked the solar rays. | ||
Yeah, it was a hot mess. | ||
Wow. | ||
How come nothing fun like that happens? | ||
Whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
Does that really sound fun? | ||
Tim, don't you jinx us, man. | ||
What the heck? | ||
Fun is the wrong word. | ||
Thank you. | ||
I'm gonna see all the outrage, like, people died today. | ||
Please change your tone. | ||
What I mean is, not fun, but like, consequential. | ||
Or like a pandemic. | ||
Right, okay. | ||
Yeah, kind of, but this is not even nearly as bad as the flu. | ||
This pandemic is like a, just a, it's just another, I don't want to call it the flu, but it's like a new thing that is just basically like a flu going through the human race. | ||
No, it is worse. | ||
I know it is worse, sure. | ||
Weird symptoms, no damage. | ||
But that still is what's happening, though. | ||
I'm just saying, like, the Spanish flu killed millions. | ||
Right. | ||
COVID's probably not going to get that bad. | ||
No, I don't think so. | ||
And so, you know, we're taking care of it, but it's really just people hanging around, you know, hanging out in their homes. | ||
A lot of people have lost their jobs and they're getting really, really angry about it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So the economic crisis is actually much worse, or I should say has the potential to be substantially worse than COVID is. | ||
But I just mean, like, Alien invasion, great war, massive volcanic eruptions spewing ash into the sky for hundreds of miles or thousands of miles. | ||
Look, that would mess us up. | ||
Yeah, like nothing seems to happen. | ||
It's like we're in this boring period. | ||
It's a golden age, it really is. | ||
Dude, you're gonna wake up tomorrow and Yellowstone's gonna be blowing up and we're gonna be like, oh. | ||
There will be no sunlight. | ||
No more sun in all of America. | ||
We're going to dig straight down in the basement and we're going to grow mushrooms in the dark and be mole people. | ||
I have a plan. | ||
Mole people, mushrooms in the dark. | ||
Or we could just keep digging and see if the lizard people will take us in. | ||
That'd be good too. | ||
If we get deep enough. | ||
We'll go to Colorado. | ||
Where is it at? | ||
Denver Airport. | ||
Yeah, that'd be fun. | ||
We should do it. | ||
Yeah, so, uh, someone said, we can't wait to see what's after the murder hornets. | ||
Oh, gosh. | ||
You know what, though, man? | ||
Like, they always tell us these crazy things are happening, and they're always just, it's not that bad. | ||
No, it's not. | ||
Like, I remember growing up when I was little, and they were like, you know, killer bees were coming. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I never saw anything. | ||
Actually, I did see killer bees once. | ||
But bees aren't that bad. | ||
It was kind of scary looking. | ||
unidentified
|
Really? | |
Yeah. | ||
What was it? | ||
it was like a dark cloud of bees oh my gosh are they just regular bees but i saw them in the sky | ||
and they were kind of like passing me but i heard them and it was right around that time they were | ||
like watch out for killer bees and i was like oh wow In Chicago? | ||
unidentified
|
That's them. | |
Where were you? | ||
No, I was in... Where was I? | ||
St. | ||
Louis, maybe? | ||
Africanized bees? | ||
I don't remember. | ||
Just your regular old wasps and hornets. | ||
Everybody thinks yellow jackets are bees, too. | ||
I'm offended by that. | ||
That's not true. | ||
Those things chase you down. | ||
unidentified
|
Bees are cool, man. | |
Bees are cool. | ||
Bees are chill. | ||
When I lived in L.A., you could walk past any bush and there's just swarms of bees. | ||
You walk right past it and they don't bother you at all. | ||
They don't care. | ||
Yellow jackets! | ||
They're like, whoa, you offend me with your attitude. | ||
No, no, no. | ||
They're like, I'm looking for something to eat. | ||
Ooh, here's a person. | ||
I will chase after them. | ||
I'm going to chase after this thing. | ||
And I'm going to sting them. | ||
You want to hear a crazy story, man? | ||
Yes. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
When I was in grade school, we were in church. | ||
OK. | ||
And I was sitting in a pew. | ||
And in front of me, there was this girl. | ||
And she had her hair in a bun or whatever. | ||
And I watched a yellow jacket land on her bun. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
But I wasn't really paying attention. | ||
So it landed. | ||
And then we were singing or something. | ||
Yeah. | ||
and then it crawled into her shirt and I noticed and I was like hey hey like there's a there's a bee and then by the time she noticed the the wasp freaked out yeah and stung her 16 times or something it was a wasp she started going yeah they don't die when it's like Yeah, that's the worst. | ||
What are you supposed to do? | ||
That's awful. | ||
Yeah, man. | ||
I saw it. | ||
There's this guy on YouTube. | ||
I don't know his name, but he does this with all these different venomous things. | ||
He brings them to his arm and lets them sting him. | ||
You know what I'm talking about? | ||
Yeah. | ||
He did that with the murder hornet, and he was on the ground rolling around, dude. | ||
and then it like it buffed up to like this huge mound like whoa is crazy but how did he rate it on the scale like | ||
he said it was worse than anything else no way he kept saying this this | ||
one I don't remember what it was but it was the previous like yeah worst thing | ||
he's like it's so much worse there's like an ant it's like a big ant or something | ||
right and like just bites and red ants red ants no no there's like a big ant it | ||
like jumps Oh, I don't know about this. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
You know what I'll tell you what, man? | ||
I bet right now as we talk about murder hornets, people in Australia are laughing. | ||
Yeah, for sure. | ||
Crackin' open a Foster's and going like... | ||
Murder hornets. | ||
unidentified
|
Murder hornets. | |
Meanwhile, like a giant like 35 foot spider is like, yeah, like spitting acid and like, you know, they're like an umbrella with the acid falling on them. | ||
And they're like, Oh, it's a normal day in Australia. | ||
Yep. | ||
Black widows everywhere. | ||
Brown recluses. | ||
And they're just like, yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah. | ||
Australia is crazy. | ||
What's up with that? | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
I've never been there. | ||
I really want to go. | ||
I've been to New Zealand. | ||
New Zealand is like... So Australia and New Zealand have endemic species. | ||
Okay. | ||
But New Zealand's endemic species, as far as I can tell, are like... Like the kiwi dude? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, they're so cute. | |
I think I'm mutilated by cats. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, man. | |
When they brought... When all the... The little bird? | ||
Yeah, they're like, they're like the ball-shaped birds with like long beaks. | ||
Oh yeah, right, right. | ||
Because they didn't have any cats at the time. | ||
And so yeah, they survived. | ||
The Europeans came in and unleashed the house cats. | ||
There's a dude in New Zealand who called for all house cats to be killed. | ||
Oh my goodness. | ||
And it was like a huge controversy. | ||
And he was like, but they're just killing everything, every bird. | ||
That's what they do. | ||
Yeah, and so it was like a big deal, I guess, in New Zealand. | ||
But it's funny that when you go to New Zealand, it's like very peaceful and very chill. | ||
And the kiwi is very silly and just like a, you know, it's a silly little thing. | ||
Although all this news is coming out that they're getting all authoritarian now. | ||
Well, yeah, because. | ||
It's like crazy. | ||
Because it's not a lot of people live there. | ||
I think the total population of New Zealand is only like four million or maybe eight million or something. | ||
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
Yeah. | ||
So like everybody knows everybody. | ||
It's like, you know, I guess it's, you know, not literally, but much more than here. | ||
But you compare New Zealand's animals to Australia's animals and it's like, Australia is like Australia is like five times the size though, or maybe even more. | ||
I don't even know the actual percentage. | ||
Australia is as big as the US. | ||
Yeah, it's huge. | ||
But it's mostly like desert in the middle and stuff. | ||
But you got crazy critters on that place, man. | ||
Giant weird creatures. | ||
Kangaroos. | ||
It's it's it's it's it's one of the final levels. | ||
What, living out in the bush? | ||
It's hard mode. | ||
Hey, I'm good. | ||
I watched Crocodile Dundee. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, you got this. | |
It'll be fine. | ||
Just take a really big knife. | ||
I really loved that movie, though, actually, as a kid. | ||
Crocodile Dundee? | ||
Love that movie. | ||
Isn't that guy who did that movie the only thing he's ever done? | ||
I think so, yeah. | ||
Well, he did the second one and the third one. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's not a knife! | ||
I never saw the third one. | ||
But I saw the second one. | ||
Those are good movies. | ||
So what say you, good sir? | ||
So how about you play some music? | ||
Yes! | ||
Before we do, let's hit up some super chats. | ||
Hold on a second. | ||
Are we done? | ||
If you haven't yet, you should absolutely make sure you're following us. | ||
You can follow me. | ||
I'm at Timcast on Instagram. | ||
You can see it right there in the corner. | ||
Instagram and Timcast. | ||
I'm going to do like a walkthrough, I guess. | ||
I'll do a video of the studio. | ||
Uh, so follow me on Instagram if you want to see it. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
Follow Adam on Twitter. | ||
Send him story ideas, and we use those for the show. | ||
We're gonna read some Super Chats. | ||
Then we're gonna play some music. | ||
I gotta go get the guitar that's in my room, though. | ||
You're not gonna play the 12-string? | ||
Nah, it's too loud for me. | ||
I like playing... I have a 12-string, and I have songs, but it's very... It takes up a lot of space in the songs. | ||
Well, how about we do this? | ||
I don't have any songs written for a 12-string. | ||
I will read some Super Chats. | ||
Sure. | ||
You go grab that there guitar. | ||
Sure, I'll go get it. | ||
And then we're gonna give you guys a special treat. | ||
unidentified
|
Yay, I'm excited! | |
We're gonna play some songs. | ||
I don't know if I have, uh... After working all morning and talking for, like, five hours straight all day, I'll do my best. | ||
But, uh, Adam will play some songs, and I'll read some of these here. | ||
Super chats. | ||
Alright, let's see. | ||
Where are we at? | ||
Where are we at? | ||
I want to make sure I don't miss anybody. | ||
It always jumps up and makes it hard to find where we left off. | ||
There we go. | ||
BigLopFOP says, Hi guys, just wanted to thank you for all the good work you've been doing bringing quality news. | ||
I'm a first year in college in Chicago and I have epic battles with Ma because she is a follower of CNN. | ||
unidentified
|
Oof. | |
Movitz, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
HN says, Tim Pool, tell us why you pretend to be a liberal now. | ||
Pretend to. | ||
Let me turn up this. | ||
unidentified
|
Mix the music a little bit. | |
I need to tune the guitar. | ||
Can you hear me? | ||
Yep, we can hear. | ||
Pretend is the wrong word. | ||
So, what does liberal mean? | ||
There's classical liberals. | ||
Ooh, you can hear that echo now because I turned on the music. | ||
I can't do that yet. | ||
Okay. | ||
That really picks up everything. | ||
It's very, very different from the other mics we have. | ||
We're definitely learning here. | ||
Yeah, this mic is serious. | ||
Yeah, the microphone we have for music is, like, to get better room, you know, sound and stuff like that. | ||
Uh, I'm liberal on a lot of policy ideas, and I'm, like, moderate center-left, so you can be classical liberal, which is slightly center-right, social liberal, which is slightly center-left. | ||
I've always been relatively social liberal, but, uh, politics have gone—has been absolutely insane as of these past few years, so I don't—I don't know what anybody is, or I don't even think anything makes sense at this point. | ||
All right. | ||

He actually, he totally beat me in the Twitter thing that I had going on, but I'm so glad we got both of them to do both. | ||
Yeah, we just rocked it out. | ||
It's totally worth it. | ||
All right, we got Andrew Vogtil says, much love for the jam session. | ||
Appreciate that. | ||
Hannah Fletcher says, love you guys. | ||
Best balanced news I've found. | ||
Yeah, it's all Tim. | ||
He's the news guy. | ||
I just kind of throw my opinion in there and hope it makes sense. | ||
Wugnutman says, nice song, Tim. | ||
I think this was around the first song. | ||
My favorite out of all them all. | ||
You like that last one you said? | ||
I like the second one. | ||
Oh, the second one? | ||
Yeah. | ||
That one's definitely my top favorite. | ||
I do like that one. | ||
Prometheus Education Inc. | ||
says, gotta unwind after all that newsin'. | ||
It's true, right? | ||
unidentified
|
It's true, yeah. | |
Friday night! | ||
We're going to do this. | ||
This is going to be a thing. | ||
Friday nights we're going to be jamming out. | ||
Have to try to make it happen. | ||
I'm going to get Cosmic Garth to come up and play because you guys haven't heard him sing or play. | ||
He plays guitar too. | ||
He's really good. | ||
So he'll have to, I'll have to twist his arm. | ||
Not very hard because he's probably going to jump on it. | ||
He'd love to come and jam. | ||
For those who know who Cosmic Garth is, it's Ian Crosland. | ||
He joined me on AdamCast IRL a couple weeks back for a few weeks. | ||
It was fun. | ||
Jeremy Griffin says, you guys both rock! | ||
Thank you! | ||
Shock Roba says, Timmy 12 strings, rock on man! | ||
Irafel Einfsof says, amazing music boys, best part of the folks hearing a song for the first time. | ||
They don't know when you mess up. | ||
Take it from me, I know a thing or two about it. | ||
That's a great point. | ||
I did live music in New York for a long time. | ||
I actually played CBGB's a bunch of times too and one of the most important things I learned is you gotta just keep flowing. | ||
Gotta keep going, because nobody knows anything at all. | ||
Although, I will never forgive myself. | ||
Adolfo says, free bird! | ||
Classic. | ||
Andrew Starr says, was that a self-written song? | ||
All of those songs were written by, well, the songs I played were mine and the songs that Tim played were his, so they were all originals. | ||
unidentified
|
Talented. | |
Yeah, except for the little country road verse that I started playing, I didn't write that. | ||
The two words? | ||
Country roads? | ||
Yeah, that's all I did. | ||
Well, I said almost heaven, the first line of the song. | ||
Just to tease you guys, I don't know how many people were We're listening to that. | ||
Enelio says, so what's Lydia's secret talent? | ||
I like to make things. | ||
Wait, I got it. | ||
I don't have it. | ||
So I like to make things and I'm a support person. | ||
Like my job in life is to be supportive and be like, yay, cheer for people. | ||
I actually really like doing that. | ||
I think it's fun. | ||
Nice. | ||
Yeah, it wasn't the same without you when AdamCast was going on. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, man. | |
Sparky says, put together an album and sell it with the other swag. | ||
We definitely are. | ||
That's actually part of what we're doing. | ||
We're building a music studio and we're going to be able to record our songs. | ||
Tim actually started recording a song and that's the song that I was trying to get him to play. | ||
I was like, I'll play that one song. | ||
Play that song. | ||
It's so good. | ||
But it's currently being recorded professionally, so it'll drop soon. | ||
Bobcast says, I like your name. | ||
Jam on. | ||
Right on. | ||
Sweet Joe says, so were you hiding a halo under that beanie? | ||
And the H, did that voice come from, man? | ||
I will relay that message to Tim for you, because he's not here. | ||
In fact, I'll look under the beanie. | ||
I'll be like, hey, let me get into it. | ||
Let me see, where's I think the voice surprises people. | ||
I remember it really surprised me when I first heard it. | ||
Yeah, he's got a good voice. | ||
Fantastic, yeah. | ||
I really like his music. | ||

R.A. | |

I couldn't help myself. | ||
I love singing that song with him. | ||
I actually know that song and that would be the song that we could have done a duet, but I kind of did. | ||
I kind of ran over and was singing the chorus with him. | ||
Phillip Daniel says, I'm a composer of serious music. | ||
He put it in quotes, so I had to do that. | ||
And I'm impressed. | ||
unidentified

Well, thank you. | |
Excellent. | ||
Well, I don't know how serious music you do, because you kind of put them in quotes, so I'm a little thrown off here. | ||

You guys are awesome. | ||
11 out of 10 would recommend. | ||
You know, I know Tim a lot. | ||
He plays his own music and that's the same with me. | ||
I like playing my own music. | ||
When I learn a new song, I like to cover a song. | ||
I'll always learn a new chord and then I'll forget that cover completely and just focus on that new chord and be like, how does that go with all the other chords that I know and then I'll create like five new songs out of that. | ||
I really like making songs. | ||
It's fun. | ||
Green Spud says, keep up the great work, Tim. | ||

Chilling at home and this music style seals the deal. | ||
Thank you guys. | ||
Awesome. | ||
Back to Elder Scrolls. | ||
Oh, good game. | ||

Which one? | ||
I wonder which one you're playing. | ||
They're all good. | ||
Tharpinitup says, he needs a vocal coach to teach him to open up his throat and nasal cavity more, but he could be an awesome musician if it's what he wants to do, I see. | ||
That could go for either of us. | ||
None of us are professionals. | ||

Appreciate that. | ||
Ike Cage says, what were the genres of music you guys were playing? | ||
What would you say Tim's is? | ||
unidentified
|
He's kind of like an indie pop alternative. | |
It's kind of catchy, it's memorable. | ||
I'm more of like a grungy rock. | ||
Yeah, I definitely hear the Tool influence. | ||
I can tell that you like them. | ||
I do love Tool. | ||
I'm a big Tool fan. | ||
Still, that's a huge compliment. | ||
I'm stoked. | ||
Girl of the Valley says, that was awesome guys. | ||
Love from this vegan girl. | ||
And yes, Friday Night Jams. | ||
Right on. | ||
Props to being vegan. | ||
I like it. | ||
And yeah, Friday Night Jams. | ||
That was great. | ||
I mean, I was sitting there listening to Tim and then I'm watching you guys super chat and I'm like, ah, this is awesome. | ||
I can't just leave him hanging. | ||
in the super chats you three are absolute legends. Thank you very much. Appreciate that. | ||
Yeah, I mean I was sitting there listening to Tim and then I'm watching you guys super | ||
chat and I'm like, oh, this is awesome. Like I can't just leave him hanging. I can't walk | ||
away. You guys are super chatting. I got to bring it out. | ||
So that was really great of you guys. | ||
Let's see. | ||
Jossip says, this is making me want to learn guitar. | ||
What's a good guitar to buy for less than 500 bucks? | ||
Ideally less than 300, but I want it to sound good. | ||
Start with an electric or an acoustic? | ||
That's a great question. | ||
And actually, you can find a really good guitar for over 100 bucks. | ||
Don't go under $100. | ||
And if you can spend up to 300 bucks, Go to Guitar Center, when you can go to Guitar Center, or Sam Ash, or a small town guitar store, maybe that's even better. | ||
You know, because if you can find an older, like an old Martin for $200-$300, they're really good guitars. | ||
So, don't go cheap. | ||
My favorite guitar, I think it was $180, it was a Fender. | ||
She's huge. | ||
I call her Rhonda. | ||
She's my baby. | ||
I actually miss her. | ||
I don't have her here, but I love it. | ||
She's an amazing guitar. | ||
And as far as your start with an electric versus an acoustic, that's a tough question. | ||
It's much easier to learn on an electric guitar. | ||
Hands down, it's much easier. | ||
Acoustic, you need to build up calluses on your fingers, and that takes a while. | ||
It's easier to play acoustic because that's all you need. | ||
Electric, you need electricity and an amp. | ||
I mean you don't need it you can still learn how to play guitar on just the electric but it definitely is nicer with a you know amp so but just just try them out just go go play them all the same thing that I tell anyone who asked me about what kind of skateboard to get you just just go find the one that speaks to you that you're like this sounds really nice I like the sound of this guitar it's easy to play my fingers aren't hurting I mean your fingers will hurt if you don't know how to play guitar there's gonna come a point when you're like oh Oh, my fingers! | ||
And that's just, I mean, I don't know if you can see. | ||
No, you can't see. | ||
I have calluses. | ||
Now, I've just been playing a little bit, so they're starting to show, but they're always there. | ||
I've been playing guitar for almost 20 years, so it's kind of, it's in there. | ||
So yeah, thanks for the soup job. | ||
Alex says, Final Fantasy VII Remake pull-up challenge is the devil. | ||
It's true. | ||
I took a little while to get them and it's worth it. | ||
It's fun. | ||
It's all about maintaining consistent speed. | ||
That's what it is. | ||
You can go really fast but then you got to keep it consistent and not try to go too fast. | ||
Thomas Stein says, when are y'all gonna break out the hardcore punk classics? | ||
Actually, Adam should learn some NSP songs. | ||
Maybe I should. | ||
I definitely need to branch out some of my cover music. | ||
It's been a while since I've learned some new songs. | ||
Actually, the most recent was Country Roads that I learned for you guys, but I can't play. | ||
Let's see, Vidya Bros says, any chance of you guys playing any Foo Fighters next time or Dropkick Murphys? | ||
Oh, Dropkick Murphys. | ||
The chance of us playing covers is really small. | ||
This makes me sad now. | ||
Yeah, I don't know if we're going to risk it. | ||
We have a lot. | ||
Like he said, he's got 300 songs. | ||
This dude has so many songs. | ||
I do have a good chunk of music myself, but man, Tim's got a lot of music. | ||
MB says, nice playing Tim, now you need a music jam channel. | ||
Yes he does, yes he does. | ||
All Metal Mike says, love the music, love the show, power to the people. | ||
Thank you, thank you. | ||
Oh my gosh, another jump. | ||
This is amazing. | ||
Can't believe this. | ||
Oh, here we go. | ||
It wasn't that bad. | ||
All right. | ||
Kyle Harmon says, post the songs as singles to the channel. | ||
We're going to try to figure that out how to do that because some people were asking about... Yeah, I'll have to look at that tomorrow. | ||
The song that I did with Nishra a couple of weeks back. | ||
Yeah, you know what? | ||
It's funny. | ||
I was playing this song and it felt naked because I'm so used to hearing her sing over my voice. | ||
It's not the same without her. | ||
Just Another Guy says, album? | ||
You guys just did a dope live EP just now. | ||
Boom! | ||

Oh, okay, okay. | ||
