tim pool
Hello, everyone, and welcome to the TimCast IRL podcast.
My name is Tim Poole, and joining me tonight is... You know it!
Adam Krigler.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Well Tim, let me tell you, I'm not an expert, but I'll share my opinion with you.
tim pool
There's a cat walking around.
adam crigler
What are we doing?
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
It's so monotone.
adam crigler
You know, maybe we should really slow it down a little bit.
tim pool
I can't stand, I hate podcasts.
lydia smith
Do you?
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Dude, this table got me already.
I got a huge splinter.
lydia smith
The table's taking victims.
adam crigler
It was in my finger for like a full week.
lydia smith
It's true, it was like Chinese torture.
adam crigler
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?
tim pool
I got a splinter right in the middle of my- the point I was making.
adam crigler
Anyway, the point I was gonna make is- What is the point you were trying to make, Tim?
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Wait, but you mentioned they do music.
tim pool
Yeah, we don't do that.
adam crigler
Do they do music how we're gonna do music?
tim pool
We're gonna do live music!
unidentified
Yes!
tim pool
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
It's so true.
tim pool
about comedy that we thought would be interesting to talk about.
adam crigler
It's so true.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
This is this is the episodes I live for.
lydia smith
It's gonna be awesome.
tim pool
We're gonna have an Ice Age.
That's what they're saying right now.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
And I love the Daily Mail article shows like Big Ben buried in ice.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, okay, calm down.
adam crigler
Hyperbolic.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
Fire outside.
adam crigler
Nice!
tim pool
We had a good skate session.
adam crigler
We definitely did.
unidentified
So if you're just tuning in, make sure you smash that like button!
adam crigler
Smash it!
unidentified
Smash it!
adam crigler
You know what?
I will go ahead and like this ramp.
tim pool
It really does help.
adam crigler
I just liked it.
And you know what?
I'm also gonna share it right now.
unidentified
Share this!
adam crigler
I'm gonna share it.
tim pool
That is a good thing.
adam crigler
I'm gonna do it.
tim pool
It's a good thing.
adam crigler
Right now, I'm doing it.
unidentified
Hold on.
lydia smith
I have already done it.
adam crigler
Boom.
I just did it.
I shared it.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yes, we are.
tim pool
I can't stand it, dude.
adam crigler
Me neither.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Wait, wait.
Cut over to Lydia.
unidentified
Cut to Lydia.
lydia smith
Oh, hold on.
I can cut to Lydia.
You can't see him.
You can see his ears.
adam crigler
He jumped on her lap.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Singing songs.
tim pool
Sharing their culture.
I'm sitting on a couch just like laying back eating a bowl of nachos like My work here is done.
adam crigler
That's it.
tim pool
That's not the world we live in.
adam crigler
That's very good, Tim.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah, I'm sick of it.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
For those who don't know, what's a CPM?
tim pool
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.
tim pool
Yeah.
Because they demanded premium from YouTube.
So most people get like two to four dollars.
adam crigler
Okay, so that's a huge boost.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
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.
tim pool
Do a correction tomorrow.
lydia smith
Take it back tomorrow.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Do it again.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Like this.
Let's get into this.
tim pool
Let's read the news.
adam crigler
Let's read this.
tim pool
Rick and Morty season 4.
Why are fans threatening to boycott Rick and Morty?
adam crigler
Well, see, already they're wrong.
Because true fans love Rick and Morty.
tim pool
Oh, yeah, then I appreciate it.
Well, right.
That's the point.
The headline is wrong.
adam crigler
Fans are threatening?
tim pool
Hold on.
adam crigler
Where's your source, media?
tim pool
Twitter.
adam crigler
Twitter, huh?
The Karens on Twitter?
I'm sorry, that was an assumption, but I have a feeling.
lydia smith
Totally correct.
tim pool
Check it out.
unidentified
We got this story.
lydia smith
We got this story.
adam crigler
Oh man, all over the place.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Wait, wait, hold on, hold on, I got this.
No, they don't.
I got this, ready?
Okay, Boomer.
lydia smith
Yeah, there you go.
tim pool
They're not even boomers, dude.
adam crigler
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.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
Some boomers... I get Rick and Morty.
It's great.
It's good comedy.
tim pool
Yeah, you're the outlier, bro.
Well, actually not.
I think they are, but they're loud.
adam crigler
Yes, I think that's what it is.
tim pool
You've got, look, Gen Xers mostly don't care.
Boomers mostly don't care.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
You've got a lot of Karen boomers, though.
adam crigler
Yeah, they really care.
tim pool
It's millennials, man.
adam crigler
They care enough for everyone.
lydia smith
Yeah, they do, unfortunately.
adam crigler
That's the problem.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
It begins.
It's spinning around.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
You're ruining it for me.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Oh, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
It's kind of funny.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
I agree.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
I like Conan.
He's funny.
tim pool
Have you seen that show that Conan does?
adam crigler
Traveling around?
tim pool
Yeah, but he's done really stupid things.
adam crigler
Yes, he has.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
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.
tim pool
It's like, dude.
adam crigler
Like, you do not want to... And did she do that move, too?
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's like this in the photo, in the thumbnail, and it's like, solo female travel in Syria.
adam crigler
Is there like a bunch of blown-out buildings behind her, too?
Like, how do you do that in front of blown-out buildings?
tim pool
I'm not kidding.
adam crigler
Look at me in front of these blown-out buildings!
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah, he probably had a big crew with him too.
It's not like he's by himself.
And tons of money.
tim pool
Let's get back to Rick and Morty.
unidentified
So here's the story.
tim pool
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
No, it's not the Boomers, man.
adam crigler
I don't know what it is.
tim pool
It's Millennials.
The Millennials are the SJWs.
No, I'll tell you what happened.
adam crigler
I don't get it.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
They're like, ooh, this'll get clicks.
tim pool
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?
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Great episode.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
I like it.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
We're so bored.
tim pool
It's like, what's the news?
adam crigler
New Rick and Morty!
tim pool
News!
adam crigler
We can complain about it!
tim pool
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!
adam crigler
But I feel like we're winning here though.
tim pool
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?
adam crigler
I think the latter.
tim pool
I personally think they need to be called out for doing it.
Yeah, yeah.
adam crigler
Agreed.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
It's like any one of these fans they're talking about.
It's like, okay, what happens in season two, episode three?
tim pool
Go!
adam crigler
And they'll be like...
tim pool
I don't know.
adam crigler
I actually have never seen Rick and Morty.
tim pool
I don't know what season, which I can't off the top of my head tell you about season two.
adam crigler
Yeah, no, I'm just going really extreme there.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yes.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
I don't know if that makes him a lord, like being a count.
I'm not sure.
Yeah, what is a count?
lydia smith
Let me Google.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
So we've gone full circle.
tim pool
That's what it is, man.
He's right.
adam crigler
Yep, exactly.
unidentified
Nailed it.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
And I was wondering, like, it was popping up all over, you know, YouTube and stuff.
adam crigler
Like, recently?
tim pool
In the past few years.
adam crigler
Because you say that and I just think, like, Mel Brooks.
Well, I mean... He hit up on everybody, basically.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
adam crigler
But there was a video... It was an OG comedy.
tim pool
We were watching a video recently.
I think it was... I think it was like an Adventure Time compilation of Lemongrab.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And the flag is a, it's a parody of the, uh, like the, like the German Nazi flag or whatever.
Not the swastika.
adam crigler
I just pulled it up.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
It's the green and it's got like the 4chan leaves on it and it says kek or whatever.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
So it was like ironic.
Nazism was like meant to be edgy.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
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.
tim pool
South Park.
adam crigler
South Park.
tim pool
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!
adam crigler
Here!
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Another show that was, like, just been popular forever.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
They go nuts on Mort.
adam crigler
Yeah, they do.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
It like, kicked it over the edge.
tim pool
Do you think any of those people care about 9-11?
adam crigler
No.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Basically, yeah.
tim pool
And no Rick and Morty fan cares.
unidentified
No.
tim pool
It's a phony show.
adam crigler
It is a good show.
tim pool
The last episode was kind of weird.
adam crigler
I really enjoy it.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
I am.
I'm ready.
tim pool
I'm ready.
adam crigler
Go ahead, enlighten me.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
If a bunch of people want to protest and you say, I can help you guys out, that's very different.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
But I get it.
It is borderline.
Like, you're creating the circumstances where they can do this.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
Right.
So that's why I think it's not necessarily unfair to say astroturfing in that context.
It's very nuanced.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Totally fake.
adam crigler
Like, uh... I didn't go on Reddit.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Nope.
unidentified
Nah.
tim pool
Nope, nope, nope.
adam crigler
Now what is it?
tim pool
Almost never breaking it.
adam crigler
Bunch of SJWs?
tim pool
It's all anti-Trump.
I mean, I kid you not.
adam crigler
That's all it is.
tim pool
I was, I was, I go on r slash all, which is just every subreddit ranked by their votes.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And I was looking at it, it was r slash pics.
It's the picture subreddit where it just shows you pictures of things.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
That's what it feels like.
tim pool
So some people argue with me saying you can still use it.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Just go find your sub, right?
Like, go to the Magic the Gathering subreddit?
unidentified
Nah.
adam crigler
Yeah, I used it.
The only time I ever really used Reddit was, like, an LFG site for Destiny.
tim pool
Looking for groups.
adam crigler
Like, Destiny 1.
tim pool
Right.
adam crigler
A long time ago.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, you were playing Destiny with me at the time, weren't you?
tim pool
Yes, yes.
adam crigler
That was great.
Those were good times.
tim pool
Yeah, good old days, man.
Six years ago.
adam crigler
The Vault of Glass.
tim pool
Oh man.
Yeah, that was cool.
OG days.
adam crigler
That was a good game.
tim pool
OG Destiny.
adam crigler
I like Destiny 1.
tim pool
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.
tim pool
It's just gone.
adam crigler
People are like, fine, whatever.
tim pool
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.
tim pool
Notably for the Democrats.
I'm sure the Republicans have them.
But the Democrats, a big company, got caught doing this.
adam crigler
That's not really surprising.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Great.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
That's what it feels like.
tim pool
But I agree.
But I think it's going to get absolutely nuts.
Do you hear that beeping?
adam crigler
Yeah, I do.
tim pool
What is that?
lydia smith
I don't know.
I got to hunt it down.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's annoying.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
It's like some weird beeping.
It's probably something in someone's room.
lydia smith
Show must go on.
tim pool
Somebody's watch is going off.
So that brings me now.
We're going to get a little political on you.
adam crigler
Oh, great.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
Oh, snap.
tim pool
I said this.
Progressive rhetoric loses.
Politicians support new study argues.
It feels good to be vindicated.
lydia smith
Yes, it does.
tim pool
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?
adam crigler
No.
I saw you mention it in a tweet.
tim pool
Yeah.
There's white, gray, and black.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
White propaganda is overt.
It would be like me holding up a sign saying, Adam sucks.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
Or look really bad, right?
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
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.
adam crigler
It was like, what?
So you just staged yourself to look like... That's called black propaganda.
Terrible.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
But you know what?
We'll be here calling them out.
tim pool
Yeah, I guess.
We're stuck in the muck in the mire, you know?
adam crigler
I know you're better at it than me.
I mean, I'm not that deep into politics, but...
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
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!
adam crigler
That was a commercial?
tim pool
No, it was like someone just posted a video of her doing it.
adam crigler
So she just literally was doing that?
tim pool
Yes.
adam crigler
She was at a bar?
tim pool
Just like bobbing her head.
adam crigler
Was she by herself too?
tim pool
Yeah, looked like it.
adam crigler
Someone's got a camera on her?
Yep.
Gay rights!
Yep.
I mean, I'm all for gay rights, but that is hilarious.
tim pool
It's so obviously fake.
adam crigler
I don't know anybody who sat in a bar by themselves.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
I'll do it myself.
tim pool
Yeah, right.
I can't stand watching people trying to stick a square peg in a round hole.
adam crigler
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.
lydia smith
Oh man, you guys.
tim pool
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 crigler
Adam, do this.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
And then all of a sudden- I mean, I know what happened, that's why I'm laughing.
tim pool
Go ahead.
Yeah, someone convinced them, like, have you considered getting woke?
lydia smith
How about partisanship?
adam crigler
Maybe you should take those posters down and get woke.
tim pool
There are some really, really embarrassing things this company did.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And when they were asked what was like their mission, this person's like, gender.
adam crigler
What?
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
Not tracking.
tim pool
Infinite genders.
adam crigler
Just go with it.
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Coca-Cola, good for any gender.
tim pool
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?
adam crigler
I couldn't believe it was actually a Monopoly commercial.
tim pool
That was awesome.
adam crigler
I still don't believe it.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
There's like three or four different girls that are like young and like want to be scientists.
tim pool
Yep.
And it's like, it's three minutes of talking about equal rights and encouraging women.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Hey, where did this come from?
tim pool
I don't know.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
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?
adam crigler
Ms.
tim pool
Monopoly?
What?
It's the most backwards, insane thing.
adam crigler
I would never have guessed it.
tim pool
Ever.
adam crigler
Not ever.
Here's how the game works.
tim pool
The game works by like, men get less money than women when they pass Go.
adam crigler
So it's like, they want... So wait, the original Monopoly actually has equal rights.
tim pool
Everyone's equal.
And this game was handicapping women.
To prove equality, we're gonna handicap them.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
It does, that's true.
We live in... Women need more help?
Is that what it's saying?
tim pool
You know what it is, man?
lydia smith
That's exactly what it's saying.
tim pool
It's that people, uh, people are stupid.
lydia smith
Oh, is that it?
tim pool
People are dumb.
adam crigler
Thank you for solving that.
Wow.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
Yeah.
You got a point.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
No, but how would the communist version go?
tim pool
I'm not talking about Monopoly, I'm talking about real life.
adam crigler
I know.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yes, you do.
tim pool
Where they go to the Amazon planet.
adam crigler
Snoo Snoo?
tim pool
Yeah.
And they see them playing basketball.
Yeah.
And the wind's like, they no can dunk, but good fundamentals.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Like, the point is supporting something that they don't like because it's just, it feels, it's like emotionally, you know?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So you have, in capitalism, things can fail.
And we can laugh about it.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Oh, really?
tim pool
And how the post office was awful.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And then I said, imagine getting your healthcare through the post office system.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Trailer plate.
tim pool
Yeah, for like a hitch trailer you put on the back of a car.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So I went online and looked it up and I was like, oh, man, you dumb.
I had to go back.
adam crigler
That sucks.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And you see all of these people and all these media companies.
I wonder if the goal was to destroy them.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
Not themselves, but there's people trying to destroy them.
unidentified
Ah, okay.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
And I'm like, but why would you make content that's only for women then?
Why wouldn't you make content?
adam crigler
You know, but they were making money doing what they were doing.
Why would they change it up?
tim pool
They weren't making money.
adam crigler
Oh, I thought you said they were, they were doing fine.
tim pool
When they first started, they were trying to figure things out.
adam crigler
Oh, they were just funded, that's what you said.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
It certainly seems that way nowadays.
tim pool
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?
adam crigler
Get in there.
tim pool
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
I know I am.
I'm looking forward to it.
tim pool
Dude, they're gonna call you all the names in the book.
adam crigler
I can't wait.
lydia smith
It's gonna be great, Adam.
unidentified
This vegan skateboarder is the epitome of far-right.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
But they do it to try and scare you to destroy your life.
adam crigler
If you're susceptible to that.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Come have some beers.
Yup.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
That makes sense.
tim pool
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...
lydia smith
It was too late.
tim pool
No, they're losers.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
And they're people I used to follow and promote.
I don't promote them anymore.
unidentified
Sad.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Right, right, right.
tim pool
Specialty stuff is... Like breaking your leg.
unidentified
Right.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
This is what I was saying about the media.
They cheat, and cheaters win.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
You know, it's funny.
What do they say?
Cheaters never win?
I was told that when I was younger.
lydia smith
Winners never cheat, cheaters never win.
tim pool
That's not true at all.
That is a lie.
Cheaters win all the time, and the smart ones never get caught.
adam crigler
And what about that line?
History is written by the winners.
lydia smith
Yeah, it's true.
tim pool
It is.
adam crigler
I know, exactly.
lydia smith
Unfortunately.
adam crigler
I mean, he was right, although it was bad timing.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's true.
unidentified
Because they're like, Oh, what you just said fits what I believe.
adam crigler
So it vindicates what I believe.
Now I can yell louder.
tim pool
Not even that.
adam crigler
Because I have proof.
tim pool
Not even that.
It's like, They believe that they're justified in lying to convert people.
adam crigler
I would say both.
tim pool
Because the ends justify the means.
lydia smith
It's a religion.
tim pool
So when Chuck Todd lies, they know he's lying and they go, good, because it'll convert more people.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
That is amazing.
tim pool
He celebrated the fact that they had successfully lied to people and tricked them into hating Trump for something he actually helped them on.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Yeah, welcome.
And how do you think it's going to get moving into November?
adam crigler
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?
tim pool
Oh, CNN's gone full reality TV.
adam crigler
Are they?
lydia smith
Good stuff.
tim pool
Yeah, so we talked about the Greta thing, right?
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
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?
adam crigler
Why?
unidentified
Seriously?
tim pool
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?
adam crigler
Yeah, MTV. I was just thinking about MTV. I'm like, yeah, MTV used to be awesome in the 90s.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
That was the early aughts, where it started changing.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
That's kind of true.
tim pool
You had the internet.
adam crigler
It's true.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
I can't hear that and not laugh.
tim pool
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.
tim pool
It's the cringiest, stupidest.
adam crigler
Who tells anyone that an apple is a banana?
CNN.
I've never heard of CNN.
They're the only ones.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
And Lydia.
I got you Lydia.
unidentified
Three people.
tim pool
Lydia really exists.
adam crigler
Two dudes.
And Lydia.
tim pool
But CNN is supposed to be telling us the facts.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
They're not.
adam crigler
They're not.
unidentified
No.
tim pool
You know what it is?
They can't compete with us.
adam crigler
Nope.
So they... Because we got true fans.
Where's my camera?
Yeah.
unidentified
That's right.
There we go.
adam crigler
That's right.
tim pool
We love you guys.
adam crigler
You guys are great.
unidentified
We appreciate you guys.
adam crigler
Talking about you fans.
tim pool
And CNN has to pay the airport.
unidentified
I'm not kidding.
I know, right?
They do.
They have to pay to air it.
adam crigler
That's embarrassing.
tim pool
It's crazy.
lydia smith
So weird.
tim pool
CNN pays airports to put them on the screen.
lydia smith
Yeah, next time you're stuck in an airport, think about that.
tim pool
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.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
Don't.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Don't care.
lydia smith
Absolutely don't.
tim pool
Don't care anything.
adam crigler
People have tagged me with some funny stuff that they straight up tell me they hate me.
unidentified
Oh!
adam crigler
And that's OK.
tim pool
Oh, all right.
adam crigler
That's cool.
Thanks for taking the time to at least hit me up.
That's great.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
You're thinking about me.
tim pool
You can love someone you hate.
adam crigler
You can hate me, but you're still thinking about me.
tim pool
You can hate someone you love.
You can actually love someone, but just hate them.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
You're now in their hearts.
unidentified
That's right.
lydia smith
You're in their head.
adam crigler
Forever.
lydia smith
Rent-free.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Okay.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah, the guy was like, what?
Are you Tim Pool?
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?
adam crigler
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
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
That's huge, man.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
You're talking about living rent-free in their heads.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
lydia smith
Thank you, dude.
tim pool
He really cares.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
I appreciate that.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
Oh.
adam crigler
We should talk about outer space.
Yes, we should.
tim pool
Let's do some Super Chats.

lydia smith

Well, feel free to instruct us.
adam crigler

lydia smith
All right.
Well, we won't know.
We haven't read our super chats.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Well, it wasn't an Ice Age, no.
tim pool
It was a mini Ice Age or something?
adam crigler
Yeah, it was like 1790 to 1830 or something.
It was like 40 years.
tim pool
I'm so excited, dude.
adam crigler
But it messed up crops.
tim pool
Oh, that's not exciting.
lydia smith
That's not cool.
adam crigler
No, it wasn't very good.
lydia smith
Cool weather would be nice.
tim pool
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.
Adam Krigler.
adam crigler

tim pool
If you follow Adam on Twitter, you can send him story suggestions.

unidentified
Alright, drop that $500 Super Chat and we will spin this thing.
tim pool
I will spin it until it flies off of the mount for $500.
adam crigler
Yeah, okay, you know it for 500 bucks.
tim pool
This is an air duster, and we just point it, and the air spins it.
adam crigler
Alright, let's do it.
tim pool
Alright, so keep an eye on that $500.
lydia smith
Alright, I'm watching.
tim pool
It's like a game show now.
unidentified
Oh yeah.
Alright, alright, let's breathe.
tim pool
Rick Sanchez says, no one wants Rick and Morty boycotted.
Trust me, I'm an unbiased source.
lydia smith
Yes, Rick Sanchez.
unidentified
That's right, Rick.
adam crigler
Mm-hmm.
tim pool
Justa says, first, eat plants.
You know, actually, I like to eat plants.
I ate all vegan today.
unidentified
You did?
tim pool
I did, yeah.
lydia smith
You did?
tim pool
But it wasn't like, it wasn't conscious.
We got these- I don't care, I'm still proud of you.
unidentified
Aw.
tim pool
We got these corn dogs that they're vegan.
unidentified
Oh, those are good.
tim pool
And I wanted them because you can just microwave and eat them.
adam crigler
Yeah, they're yummy.
tim pool
We also have fish sticks, but you gotta cook them through.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
You could have had my vegan mayonnaise.
tim pool
Yeah, coulda.
But it was more like, I'm not gonna be vegan.
adam crigler
So you're a 99% vegan today.
Yeah, but we have this... Spin it!
unidentified
$100!
Oh!
tim pool
We have $100 to spin it!
adam crigler

Bebe, that was for- Wow!
Alright, no, no, don't overspin it.
lydia smith
Yeah, can you pull it toward you a little so everybody can see it?
adam crigler
No, no, no, don't risk moving it.
lydia smith
Oh, there's some light.
You can't see it at all!
adam crigler
No, but it's spinning now.
tim pool
It's spinning like crazy.
adam crigler
All right, BB, we did it.
lydia smith
We did.
tim pool
We got you.
adam crigler
We did it for you.
unidentified
This dude actually done it a hundred dollars.
adam crigler
I said it.
I said we wouldn't do it unless we got a super chat.
So thank you.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Oh, really?
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
It spins off into orbit.
tim pool
Super spin.
It wobbles left and right and it's throwing the weight.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
And then it just like flies off.
adam crigler
Man, that thing is going now.
Nice.
tim pool
We'll see how long it spins for.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Thank you for the spin super chat.
adam crigler
Yeah, that was fun.
tim pool
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?
lydia smith
Of course.
tim pool
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?
lydia smith
Interesting.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
Oh, thank you.
unidentified
Excellent.
adam crigler
Generic background character.
I saw that.
Thank you.
That's huge.
tim pool
Yeah.
Was that because we spun the UFO?
adam crigler
They were going to say spin, but then they were like, oh, it's spinning.
tim pool
There you go.
lydia smith
That was nice of them.
unidentified
Awesome.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah, it looks good.
tim pool
It's lighting up.
lydia smith
Short and sweet.
adam crigler
It's looking good.
tim pool
But now I can just straight up say it, because Rocco Castoro is the former editor-in-chief.
unidentified
Oh, it's official.
tim pool
Yeah, it's official.
adam crigler
Go ahead.
unidentified
Go ahead.
adam crigler
Sorry.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
Yeah, they did.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Right, right, right.
tim pool
I can complain all day and night about the Democrats.
adam crigler
So total impartial news.
tim pool
Editorially independent, they do their thing.
adam crigler
Sounds good.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Scanner's on the upswing.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
But I think one of the challenges news faces is that everyone wants some analysis on it.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Right, right, right.
tim pool
But then we would talk about context and then do, like, you know, analysis pieces after the fact.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
And you do it so well.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
And that is scnr.com.
Check it out.
tim pool
And Rocco.
adam crigler
And Rocco's on.
tim pool
We've got the vice people.
adam crigler
Rocco's on the team.
lydia smith
Such a cool team.
tim pool
I'm so excited.
adam crigler
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.
adam crigler
Can I go the other way?
tim pool
Just hold it down and point it on the other side.
unidentified
Oh.
adam crigler
Gonna come to a full stop.
unidentified
Yep.
lydia smith
We're slowing.
unidentified
Slowing.
lydia smith
Oh, we've stopped.
We are going the other way.
adam crigler
Yes!
Spinning it!
This is for you, Graph.
tim pool
Just keep going until it starts bouncing.
adam crigler
I see the bounce.
lydia smith
It's starting to wobble.
tim pool
Just wait.
Just let it go.
Just keep doing it.
No, no, no, no.
adam crigler
All right, all right, all right.
No, that's good.
That's good.
tim pool
It goes crazy.
adam crigler
We gotta do super chats.
tim pool
It goes crazy.
adam crigler
But thank you.
Thank you, everybody.
tim pool
There are right now people listening on just like iTunes and they're like, I just hear a vacuum or something.
lydia smith
What the heck is happening?
adam crigler
Yes.
tim pool
What are they doing?
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
Boom!
adam crigler
I gotta give it to you.
I gotta give it to you.
unidentified
Dude.
adam crigler
Dude.
tim pool
It's a UFO that levitates.
adam crigler
I know.
tim pool
It floats because of electromagnetism.
adam crigler
It's kinda cool.
Alright, that's cool.
unidentified
That is awesome.
adam crigler
I just love busting you.
tim pool
Let's read some more Super Chats.
adam crigler
Busting your chaps.
tim pool
We're supposed to be talking about space, bro.
adam crigler
We'll get there.
We'll get there.
tim pool
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.
tim pool
We had a crazy session, Adam.
adam crigler
Wait, what's Lydia's favorite color?
lydia smith
Oh, my favorite color?
My favorite color is blue.
You can't see it.
adam crigler
There it is.
lydia smith
It looks like black.
Dark blue.
adam crigler
Now you got it.
Sorry, go ahead.
What were you saying?
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
But I've got some crazy stuff to film.
adam crigler
Then you want to do like a line.
You do some like interesting tricks in a line.
unidentified
Right.
adam crigler
We're going to have some interesting skate videos coming soon.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Difficult tricks for those who don't know skateboarding.
lydia smith
These are advanced tricks.
adam crigler
They're difficult.
lydia smith
They're no joke.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Well, you've got a filmer.
tim pool
I've got some ideas.
We're going to do some great segments.
We're going to get crazy on this miniramp.
adam crigler
Actually, we're not that far.
I mean, Corona, but my buddy in New York makes skate videos.
He can come down.
tim pool
I'm trying to get Brett to come down.
adam crigler
That would be dope.
tim pool
Brett Novak, famous skate producer.
adam crigler
If you don't know him, you should check him out.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Cause he's good.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Brett, Brett Novak.
adam crigler
That would be dope to get Brett down.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
We can do both.
tim pool
Sunday might be filmed because I might do some crazy stuff.
I might just.
adam crigler
OK.
tim pool
Just go nuts.
adam crigler
I'll film you.
tim pool
We'll see.
We'll see.
adam crigler
I'll film you go nuts.
Let's go.
tim pool
We'll see.
Depends on the weather.
adam crigler
All right.
tim pool
Where are we at?
David says, hey Adam, is soy milk just normal milk introducing itself in Spanish?
The people deserve to know.
adam crigler
Yes.
unidentified
Yes it is.
tim pool
Soy milk.
Vaj says, some people say it don't be like it is, but it do.
unidentified
True.
That's the fact.
adam crigler
Word.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Because they dropped the ball and everything.
We actually had some TV show deals too.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
And they wouldn't do the paperwork.
And I'm like, hey man, hey, you know what?
I don't care.
adam crigler
That's annoying.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Right, right, right.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah, but a really, really successful live podcast.
lydia smith
That is correct.
tim pool
Yes.
lydia smith
Highlight of your life.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
Oh man, I'm excited.
tim pool
But I'm like, Agent could have been involved.
adam crigler
Yep, could have been.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Your life, Tim.
They want to know about your life.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
You still have all that information?
No.
Shame.
tim pool
I mean, probably somewhere, but I don't need it, whatever.
adam crigler
I read it.
tim pool
It's crazy stories, man, like growing up on the south side of Chicago and... You're from Chicago?
Gangbangers.
unidentified
Whoa.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
For one Bitcoin?
tim pool
For one Bitcoin.
Wow.
And I said, I got five grand.
I could buy five grand worth right now.
adam crigler
This just hurt.
Let's just move on.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
For one.
tim pool
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.
tim pool
And it's funny.
It's hilarious.
It's like whatever, man.
adam crigler
Funny!
tim pool
It would be a funny book!
lydia smith
It's laugh or cry, man.
tim pool
I think it's funny, man.
adam crigler
Or a little bit of both.
Laugh and cry.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
We were outside today getting our vitamin D. Oh man, sweating it out.
tim pool
Whoa.
unidentified
Interesting.
tim pool

old friend who's a major as a w is a secret trump supporter

oppose trump he's a lot of trump supporters
adam crigler
pretend to be leftists to make on the left and yet to make them get out there good
tim pool
you get someone coming out attacking you and insulting in berating you and you're
like i want to be involved with that it was a trick the whole time yet the
adam crigler
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
calling you no you're right
unidentified
they're calling landlines? who are they calling? who has landlines? old people

lydia smith
That is not nice.
tim pool
I don't think it's wrong.
adam crigler
At least bring a candle.
lydia smith
Yeah, that is not friendly.
adam crigler
Bring something.
Light a match.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
No, they would drop him for his dementia.
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
Yes it is.
tim pool
Oh yeah.
Yep, good point.
420,000 people have fled New York City.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Mostly from Manhattan.
And they're mostly rich.
adam crigler
Yeah, I was just going to say that.
They all rich.
tim pool
That's going to change.
That's basically going to remove a congressional district.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
And they- Okay.
The lockdown's continued.
adam crigler
Sure.
And the census- And they're sitting pretty in their other house.
tim pool
And the census went out and they're not there.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
So they don't fill out the census.
So then the next two years come by and they say they don't live here.
adam crigler
Right, right.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
That sounds right.
tim pool
And then she's gone.
Where does she run?
She's famous, though.
We'll see how that plays out.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
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.
tim pool
But this table, man.
What's up with this?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
We gotta put a cloth over it.
adam crigler
Fast fashion, fast furniture.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
She brings those receipts.
I love it.
adam crigler
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!
tim pool
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!
adam crigler
Oh, snaps!
It is satisfying to watch.
tim pool
Dude, why are they arguing with her?
adam crigler
I don't know.
tim pool
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?
adam crigler
How dare you?
tim pool
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!
adam crigler
Getting spicy!
tim pool
It's British.
lydia smith
It is British.
It doesn't count.
tim pool
It doesn't count.
adam crigler
Spicy is spicy, man.
lydia smith
I love it.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
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.
adam crigler
It's just that, aha!
I got you!
lydia smith
That's all it was.
adam crigler
That's all it was.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Done.
tim pool
That's it.
adam crigler
It's like, okay.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
Maybe.
I guess we'll see, huh?
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Right, right, right.
tim pool
Nope.
adam crigler
Shady business.
Shady.
tim pool
Dodie Williams says, the million dollar question.
Tim, when was the last time you completely shaved your facial hair?
adam crigler
A long time ago.
lydia smith
That is a million dollar question.
adam crigler
Really?
It's a long time?
tim pool
I don't do straight razor.
adam crigler
So that's just... Oh, I guess I don't either.
tim pool
I just do like a... What's it called?
unidentified
A one?
tim pool
Yeah, a one.
adam crigler

adam crigler
SMASHED that like button!
tim pool
Smash that button!
Destroy your keyboard!
adam crigler
Use a fist!
tim pool
No, don't do it.
Don't do it.
We're kidding.
unidentified
Somebody would do it and we'd get in trouble.
tim pool
Devon Elliot says, read The Last Marine, a near future after China-US war.
SJW culture reigns.
Interview with last veteran in prison to show old ways are bad.
adam crigler
Wow.

Logan Porter says, like button smashed.
Hair cut.
Pizza consumed.

adam crigler
Priorities.

I can see in the metrics that the lockdowns are being lifted.
Yes.
lydia smith
Oh, thank goodness.
adam crigler
I'm going to be bowling soon.
tim pool
Two things.
adam crigler
That's right.
That's where my mind goes.
tim pool
Live viewer counts are going down across the board for everybody.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
Including us.
Like we were hitting like 15k a month ago.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, that's right.
tim pool
Because people aren't indoors.
unidentified
You know what?
adam crigler
Good for them.
But you guys are here with us.
tim pool
Podcast views are going up.
You know why?
unidentified
People are doing stuff.
tim pool
People listen to podcasts as they drive places.
You can see the lockdowns being lifted.

Doing really well, yeah.
adam crigler
And you guys are still here with us.
tim pool
That's right.
adam crigler
So props to all you awesome people.
tim pool
All right, let's read.
What do we got here?
SuperBamBam says, did you see that Twitter video of the dude in Mexico lassoing a tiger on the street?
unidentified
Um, no.
tim pool
What?
lydia smith
That sounds like Florida, man.
adam crigler
Something I need to see.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah, what do you do?
lydia smith
Then what do you do?
adam crigler
You gotta wrestle him.
lydia smith
Yeah, I don't know.
tim pool
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?

adam crigler
Soyperpowers?
lydia smith
Soyperpowers.
tim pool
Well, actually, in the latest episode of Rick and Morty, Jesus is in it.
And it's, like, weird.
adam crigler
Oh, really?
tim pool
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?
lydia smith
Yeah.

All right.
tim pool
Literally saved by Jesus Christ.

Because it means no fanfiction with you and Soy Freya.
Also, can you clip out Find Yourself and publish it?
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Okay.
Yeah, we'll figure it out.
What was the first question, though?
tim pool
Are you happy with the Yao fanfic because it means no fanfiction with you and Soy Freya?
adam crigler
I mean, that's that's not necessarily true.
There's still time for fanfiction for Soy Freya to be introduced.
unidentified
Oof.
tim pool
We got too many superchats.
lydia smith
I don't know.
tim pool
Too many superchats.
lydia smith

Superchat is bigger than we've had in a really, really long time.

I'm like, if I retweet it, people are going to vote for me.
adam crigler

tim pool
You're going to play first so I can do the audio levels.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
adam crigler
I'm going to rock a song.
tim pool
One of the issues is that... You're getting both!
adam crigler
Who knew?
tim pool
The audio levels are a challenge if I sing louder than you.
adam crigler
I don't know.
Do you?
It depends on the song I'm playing, actually.
You're pretty consistent with your volume.
tim pool
I don't know.
adam crigler
It changes with my songs.
I don't know what I'll play.
tim pool
We'll see what happens.
We're gonna play some music!
Is the jam cam on?
adam crigler
I think so, yeah.
It is!
Look, the 12-string is not in its usual place.
It's over there waiting.
tim pool
Get ready to go.
adam crigler
Look at her fine booty.
tim pool
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!

It's the throne.
adam crigler
I've been in that seat.
it's it's you gotta you gotta work you gotta work it yeah the crazy one said
tim pool
if Voldemort's whistleblower report caused a trial that ended in not guilty

questions which may result because they're there some people have I think

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.
tim pool
Dan Crenshaw's cool.
But Dan Crenshaw's been wrong on a lot of things.
But that's not fair.
adam crigler
Does he admit he's wrong?
tim pool
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.

tim pool
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.

Socialists, communists, postmodernists wanting to knock the West back on its heels.
That's a fact.

Of course, that's what it is. Of course, of course. Rob says people

You actually can't win.
It's written in the rules.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
Is it?
adam crigler
I mean, it's a lot harder.
lydia smith
I don't know if that would make sense.
adam crigler
I'm just joking.
tim pool
Actually, you don't buy things.
You, like, invest in women's inventions or something.
lydia smith
Okay, then you're never gonna be able to get anything.
unidentified

adam crigler
That's how it works?
tim pool
Yeah.

adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
You know what Spanx are?
lydia smith

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?
adam crigler
Because we were talking about universal Medicare, so if you break your leg, you know.
unidentified
That's an extenuating circumstance, right?
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
Nobody goes skiing expecting to break their legs.
lydia smith
But you sign.
adam crigler
That's also a good point.
tim pool
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.

BlackRockBeacon says, Scanner looks promising.
Looking to do similar work as I develop the business.

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.

He'll be like, what do I do?
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
Talk to your friends about it.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.

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.
lydia smith
Great conversation.
tim pool
Yeah, that's where you can find something good.
Duckduckgee says, shout out to my fellow IT professionals who keep the world turning.
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
tim pool
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.
Bo says, as an American from Kami, California, I think the solution to this mess is to protest for a 2020 Bill of Rights, a national veto, UBI.
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.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
Yeah, like Wikipedia.
That's a good idea.
tim pool
Um, we should be talking right now about outer space.
lydia smith
Yes, we absolutely should.
adam crigler
Yeah, let's get into this because this freaked me out when you showed me this.
I was like, what?
lydia smith
I am really excited.
adam crigler
Oh, this is different.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Coronavirus has reached the sun.
tim pool
It's the sun.
adam crigler
The sun is going into... The Democrats have told the sun to stay at home.
lydia smith
Yep.
adam crigler
Don't go out.
lydia smith
It's going into lockdown.
adam crigler
We gotta keep you in lockdown, sun.
tim pool
Well, they can't have the sunlight disinfecting the coronavirus.
unidentified
Oh, that's true.
lydia smith
That's fair.
tim pool
Okay, we're joking.
Don't ban us, YouTube.
We're not conspiracy theorists.
Let's read.
adam crigler
That was definitely a joke, YouTube.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah, let's do this.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
What on Earth was that?
tim pool
I don't want to be mean, but come on, man.
lydia smith
That writing is terrible.
tim pool
Alright, I'm gonna just skip over this weird waste of time.
adam crigler
That's really what it is.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
That is so cool.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So I think it's funny that, like, it's just nature, calm down!
adam crigler
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?
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
You'd drive that van down by the river, wouldn't you?
unidentified
No, no, no.
tim pool
If the world was ending and the sun was going out, I'd just sit back and be like, meh.
adam crigler
I'd probably go skate the ramp.
lydia smith
That would work.
adam crigler
Like, well, skate into infinity.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And then we were told- Hold on, hold on.
adam crigler
Why Australia?
tim pool
Because we're far away from it.
adam crigler
Okay, good.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
You have one hour.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Would it be crazy?
lydia smith
That would be nuts.
adam crigler
That would be nuts.
tim pool
What would you do?
adam crigler
I would probably find Nish.
lydia smith
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
adam crigler
And spend that hour with her.
unidentified
An extreme solar minimum is thought to have contributed to the so-called Little Ice Age in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries.
tim pool
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
adam crigler
over. Yeah, and it snowed in July.
tim pool
What is this picture?
adam crigler
That is not what happened in the 17th and 18th century.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
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?
adam crigler
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
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah, there you go.
tim pool
It reminds me of Futurama.
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
Why is it always this show?
I don't know.
adam crigler
Because it's a genius show.
tim pool
Because it's sci-fi.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
And because we talk a lot about, you know, kind of sci-fi stuff.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
To like, because it cooled it down.
unidentified
Nice.
adam crigler
Such a great episode.
tim pool
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
That's interesting though, because aren't we at the point of about one to two degrees higher than average?
tim pool
I have no idea.
adam crigler
So what I just said as a joke could potentially actually be the truth.
tim pool
But we didn't do it on purpose.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
What you're saying is that humans collectively slipped on a banana peel, but pulled off a perfect backflip.
adam crigler
And landed on, like, a throne.
lydia smith
Indeed.
adam crigler
Like, oh!
I meant to do that.
tim pool
Yeah, but what happens after the ten years?
adam crigler
Well, then it's gonna spike back up to really hot temperatures.
tim pool
Unless the solar activity, well, we're not at maximum.
adam crigler
In 40 years of solar minimums.
tim pool
They said the misery was exacerbated by powerful volcanic eruptions.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
The second largest volcanic eruption in 2,000 years happened on Mount Timbora in Indonesia, killing more than 71,000 people.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
And plunging the temperature still lower as giant ash clouds blocked the solar rays.
lydia smith
Yeah, it was a hot mess.
tim pool
Wow.
How come nothing fun like that happens?
adam crigler
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
lydia smith
Does that really sound fun?
adam crigler
Tim, don't you jinx us, man.
What the heck?
tim pool
Fun is the wrong word.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
I'm gonna see all the outrage, like, people died today.
adam crigler
Please change your tone.
tim pool
What I mean is, not fun, but like, consequential.
lydia smith
Or like a pandemic.
adam crigler
Right, okay.
tim pool
Yeah, kind of, but this is not even nearly as bad as the flu.
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
Weird symptoms, no damage.
adam crigler
But that still is what's happening, though.
tim pool
I'm just saying, like, the Spanish flu killed millions.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
COVID's probably not going to get that bad.
adam crigler
No, I don't think so.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Look, that would mess us up.
tim pool
Yeah, like nothing seems to happen.
It's like we're in this boring period.
It's a golden age, it really is.
adam crigler
Dude, you're gonna wake up tomorrow and Yellowstone's gonna be blowing up and we're gonna be like, oh.
lydia smith
There will be no sunlight.
adam crigler
No more sun in all of America.
tim pool
We're going to dig straight down in the basement and we're going to grow mushrooms in the dark and be mole people.
lydia smith
I have a plan.
tim pool
Mole people, mushrooms in the dark.
adam crigler
Or we could just keep digging and see if the lizard people will take us in.
lydia smith
That'd be good too.
tim pool
If we get deep enough.
adam crigler
We'll go to Colorado.
Where is it at?
lydia smith
Denver Airport.
Yeah, that'd be fun.
We should do it.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
No, it's not.
tim pool
Like, I remember growing up when I was little, and they were like, you know, killer bees were coming.
adam crigler
Yeah.
I never saw anything.
Actually, I did see killer bees once.
tim pool
But bees aren't that bad.
adam crigler
It was kind of scary looking.
unidentified
Really?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
What was it?
adam crigler
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.
adam crigler
Where were you?
No, I was in... Where was I?
St.
Louis, maybe?
lydia smith
Africanized bees?
adam crigler
I don't remember.
tim pool
Just your regular old wasps and hornets.
Everybody thinks yellow jackets are bees, too.
I'm offended by that.
lydia smith
That's not true.
tim pool
Those things chase you down.
unidentified
Bees are cool, man.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
They don't care.
tim pool
Yellow jackets!
adam crigler
They're like, whoa, you offend me with your attitude.
tim pool
No, no, no.
They're like, I'm looking for something to eat.
Ooh, here's a person.
I will chase after them.
lydia smith
I'm going to chase after this thing.
tim pool
And I'm going to sting them.
You want to hear a crazy story, man?
adam crigler
Yes.
Absolutely.
tim pool
When I was in grade school, we were in church.
adam crigler
OK.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Oh, man.
tim pool
But I wasn't really paying attention.
So it landed.
And then we were singing or something.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
What are you supposed to do?
lydia smith
That's awful.
tim pool
Yeah, man.
adam crigler
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?
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
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
tim pool
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
adam crigler
like jumps Oh, I don't know about this.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
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...
adam crigler
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.
lydia smith
And they're like, Oh, it's a normal day in Australia.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Black widows everywhere.
Brown recluses.
And they're just like, yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah.
Australia is crazy.
What's up with that?
unidentified
I don't know.
adam crigler
I've never been there.
I really want to go.
tim pool
I've been to New Zealand.
New Zealand is like... So Australia and New Zealand have endemic species.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
But New Zealand's endemic species, as far as I can tell, are like... Like the kiwi dude?
unidentified
Yeah, they're so cute.
tim pool
I think I'm mutilated by cats.
unidentified
Oh, man.
tim pool
When they brought... When all the... The little bird?
Yeah, they're like, they're like the ball-shaped birds with like long beaks.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, right, right.
Because they didn't have any cats at the time.
And so yeah, they survived.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Oh my goodness.
tim pool
And it was like a huge controversy.
And he was like, but they're just killing everything, every bird.
lydia smith
That's what they do.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Although all this news is coming out that they're getting all authoritarian now.
tim pool
Well, yeah, because.
adam crigler
It's like crazy.
tim pool
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
I don't even know the actual percentage.
tim pool
Australia is as big as the US.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's huge.
tim pool
But it's mostly like desert in the middle and stuff.
But you got crazy critters on that place, man.
Giant weird creatures.
lydia smith
Kangaroos.
tim pool
It's it's it's it's it's one of the final levels.
adam crigler
What, living out in the bush?
tim pool
It's hard mode.
adam crigler
Hey, I'm good.
I watched Crocodile Dundee.
unidentified
Yeah, you got this.
lydia smith
It'll be fine.
Just take a really big knife.
adam crigler
I really loved that movie, though, actually, as a kid.
tim pool
Crocodile Dundee?
Love that movie.
Isn't that guy who did that movie the only thing he's ever done?
adam crigler
I think so, yeah.
Well, he did the second one and the third one.
Yeah.
tim pool
That's not a knife!
adam crigler
I never saw the third one.
tim pool
But I saw the second one.
adam crigler
Those are good movies.
tim pool
So what say you, good sir?
So how about you play some music?
adam crigler
Yes!
Before we do, let's hit up some super chats.
tim pool
Hold on a second.
adam crigler
Are we done?
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
I gotta go get the guitar that's in my room, though.
tim pool
You're not gonna play the 12-string?
adam crigler
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.
tim pool
Well, how about we do this?
I don't have any songs written for a 12-string.
I will read some Super Chats.
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
You go grab that there guitar.
adam crigler
Sure, I'll go get it.
tim pool
And then we're gonna give you guys a special treat.
unidentified
Yay, I'm excited!
tim pool
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.
tim pool
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.
adam crigler
I need to tune the guitar.
Can you hear me?
lydia smith
Yep, we can hear.
tim pool
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.
lydia smith
We're definitely learning here.
adam crigler
Yeah, this mic is serious.
tim pool
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.
Moveit says, applied for Subverse when you first made the announcement.
I'm sure you got plenty of interest.
I'm an ex-felon who walked his parole with no issue.
Been trying to find a direction to go.
Would love to join your team.
I'd start out by being a janitor if needed.
Hire me.
So Subverse is now Scanner.
I don't have control over that.
They run it all.
So send an email, I suppose, and they get a bunch of emails, and then we'll see, you know, what they say, I guess.
But yeah, go for it.
Mossy Creek says, East Tennessee is not bad on the tornadoes at all.
We barely get them, if ever.
We're the foothills of the Smoky Mountains here.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
tim pool
I've drove through the Smoky several times.
adam crigler
I guess that makes sense, because you're closer to the mountains, so it's not open.
Yeah.
tim pool
Blue Dragon says, Tim, did you hear about the Taiwan chipmaker TSMC is building a $12 billion plant in Arizona?
Good news for Arizona, that's cool.
Wolfsbane says, was that concept art for Day After Tomorrow?
Right, that image, the frozen big man.
lydia smith
Something like that, yeah.
tim pool
Daniel Hotch says, the solar minimum has been happening for two to three years now.
The last couple of years it snowed in Vegas and Saudi Arabia.
unidentified
Wow!
lydia smith
Yeah, it snowed in Egypt, remember?
adam crigler
I remember that.

Although, I will never forgive myself.

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.

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?
lydia smith
Oh, Dropkick Murphys.
adam crigler
The chance of us playing covers is really small.
lydia smith
This makes me sad now.
adam crigler
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.

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.
