|---|---|---|
| Welcome to the show, everybody. | ||
| This is the TimCast IRL Podcast. | ||
| I am Tim Poole. | ||
| Tonight, I am hanging out with the same people I hang out with every night. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| What's going on, everybody? | ||
| It's Adam Krigler here. | ||
| Thanks for joining us. | ||
| And Lydia, producer Lydia, with my Alkaline Trio t-shirt. | ||
| Alkaline Trio, local Chicago music. | ||
| No, they're huge, they're national. | ||
| Oh man, Alex Jones, he came out and he said, Joe Rogan is going to war over censorship! | ||
| And he talked a lot about Joe calling him. | ||
| There's a lot to talk about here because I'm sitting here, we were originally going to talk about something else, something totally different. | ||
| We're going to talk about contact tracing. | ||
| We are. | ||
| And then I saw this article, and it's obviously not being covered by the mainstream media. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's being covered by a bunch of small, independent blogs, conspiracy sites, and stuff like that. | ||
| Well, they don't want to spread it around. | ||
| Well, it's also Alex Jones. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And there's a lot to question. | ||
| And so when I heard him saying that, you know, Joe Rogan called him and told him this stuff, I'm like, I don't know about that. | ||
| I got to do something real quick. | ||
| What are we at? | ||
| I believe you're actually looking at a text from Joe right now. | ||
| Is that what you're doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. | |
| I'm trying to get confirmation. | ||
| Hey, man. | ||
| Yeah, we want confirmation before we talk about it. | ||
| Confirmation. | ||
| And it's a last minute thing. | ||
| So we just changed the title. | ||
| It was like, we're gonna talk about contact tracing. | ||
| Well, I mean, people want to know that you're getting it from the source. | ||
| But the problem is, when I'm talking with someone, be it Adam Krigler, Luke Rudkowski, Joe Rogan, I have to make sure I don't violate privacy. | ||
| You know, I don't know what I'm allowed to talk about. | ||
| I don't know what's on the record, what's not. | ||
| So I can't talk about, you know, unless they say to me like, hey, this is what's what, you're cool. | ||
| And so I'm trying to figure things out. | ||
| I have not figured anything out. | ||
| But Alex Jones did say that Joe Rogan called him and said some things, and so as soon as I heard that I was like, I don't know if I believe that. | ||
| I gotta text some people, see what's going on. | ||
| But, I have not gotten any confirmation, but I did have kind of like a lightbulb moment about what Joe is doing with Spotify, and how it's going to revolutionize, and whether or not Joe is really going to war, what Alex Jones says, this might save the internet. | ||
| I hope so. | ||
| I mean it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I was sitting here and I'm like, we're going to talk about contact tracing and people getting their phones together. | ||
| And I was like, whoa, wait a minute. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| So we're going to talk about it. | ||
| Everybody calm down. | ||
| If you're just tuning in, hit that like button. | ||
| Just smash it. | ||
| Give us all those likes. | ||
| Because at the end of the year, Joe will be leaving YouTube. | ||
| And so we, among with all of the other video podcasts, are going to be in a battle royale, like Hunger Games style. | ||
| So we're going to win. | ||
| We're going to claim. | ||
| No, I'm just kidding. | ||
| But someone will eventually, you know, become the top YouTube show. | ||
| But anyway, hit the like button if you want to. | ||
| You can jump in the super chat if you would like to ask questions. | ||
| However, I must remind everybody, when we get to, you know, we've been averaging maybe like 10 or 12, one night even like 15, 16,000 people. | ||
| I love all you guys, really appreciate all the superchats. | ||
| It literally does become impossible to actually read everything, so we try to, you know, just work for a couple hours, because most of you realize I work through the mornings, and then this is the second show, it's two hours, so it's tough. | ||
| I can't, you know, I'd love to stay here for five hours all night, read literally everyone, but it's hard to do. | ||
| So get your superchats if you'd like. | ||
| We usually go through the ones from the earliest in the night, and then it gets harder to read the ones from later on. | ||
| We've got a couple stories though. | ||
| So we're definitely be talking about contact tracing because Apple just did this big iOS update and there's a viral image going around saying it's the new API for the contact tracing apps. | ||
| And this has people freaking out because contact tracing basically means the general idea with your phone is that if I walk up to you Okay. | ||
| It's messed up. | ||
| like tag each other. | ||
| OK. | ||
| And then they can see who everyone talked to and | ||
| you know, or who made contact with who else. | ||
| They'll know where you went. | ||
| And it's like an extreme level of spying. | ||
| It did just ask me if I needed to update. | ||
| And I said no. | ||
| I bet it's in there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I bet. | |
| I didn't update it. | ||
| Now I don't want to. | ||
| Because you have iPhone. | ||
| I do, yeah. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Pull it up. | ||
| Pull it up. | ||
| No, I don't... No, pull up the description of what it is. | ||
| Oh, I... Okay. | ||
| And we can read what it says. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| So that's a big deal. | ||
| And I think this initial update isn't what you need to be worried about. | ||
| It's what comes next. | ||
| And we'll talk about that too. | ||
| And then maybe we'll talk about aliens, because we've been talking about how we want to talk about aliens. | ||
| Yeah, but it might make me update it. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It says before you update it, like, it shows you what it is and then you click install. | ||
| I mean, what are you gonna do? | ||
| You gonna avoid the update and just like never do it? | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| I'm dead serious. | ||
| Is there something feedbacking about you? | ||
| I don't mind. | ||
| A power cable or something? | ||
| Yeah, I hear that too, yeah. | ||
| It's annoying when that happens. | ||
| Like, you get one of the cables gets too close to another cable and then... So, the first thing you've got to do is gossip, man. | ||
| The censorship gossip is huge. | ||
| We've got to talk about this. | ||
| I'm reading the update right now. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I'll get it ready for when we talk about the next one. | ||
| We'll talk about the update, but here's what we're going to do now. | ||
| Let's talk about this Madhouse News. | ||
| I have no idea what this website is, but that's okay. | ||
| Oh, it's actually being reviewed by NewsGuard. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| NewsGuard's in the process of reviewing Madhouse News. | ||
| Oh, Madhouse News. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I mean, I haven't read it. | ||
| Let's read it. | ||
| I Google-searched, you know, Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, nothing comes up. | ||
| This is what I was able to find through, it was on r slash conspiracy on Reddit. | ||
| This is the article they posted. | ||
| And I watched some of the video from Rogan. | ||
| He said some interesting things. | ||
| And if this is true, there might be a really big... Joe Rogan may be about to use his weight. | ||
| Maybe it's inadvertent, but it might really break censorship. | ||
| Joe Rogan, you're the hero we all need. | ||
| Yeah, well, let's check. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| Here's the story, right? | ||
| So again, I don't know what Madhouse News is, but they say Joe Rogan says he is going to war against Google and Big Tech. | ||
| Full stop. | ||
| No, Joe Rogan didn't say that. | ||
| Alex Jones said that Joe called him and said this. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So that is not confirmed. | ||
| If you trust Alex Jones, I guess, personally, and I mean this with all due respect, I don't. | ||
| You know, I'm not trying to drag the guy. | ||
| I'm just saying I want to hear it straight from Joe before I just believe what Alex Jones is saying. | ||
| Alex Jones exclusively revealed Thursday that Joe Rogan signed an exclusivity contract for his podcast with Spotify as a way of striking back against YouTube censorship. | ||
| Jones, who has been friends with Rogan for 22 years, spoke at length with the podcast King, with Rogan telling him that he should announce to the world that the move is a direct strike against Google, that the, quote, gloves are off and he is going to war against big tech tyranny. | ||
| Jones told his audience that Rogan had encouraged him to go on air and put it all out there. | ||
| The deal, suggested to be worth $100 million. | ||
| Full stop. | ||
| Yashir Ali. | ||
| He's a Huffington Post contributor. | ||
| Very well known. | ||
| High profile journalist. | ||
| Said $200 million. | ||
| That's an update. | ||
| I don't know if that's true. | ||
| The deal would be worth $100 million. | ||
| Was announced earlier this week. | ||
| Analysts are saying that it will change the face of media forever. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Jones, who has appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience numerous times, also announced that Rogan had specifically requested in his contract with Spotify that the InfoWars host will be allowed to appear uncensored on the podcast on Spotify. | ||
| Jones said Rogan wants him as the first guest on the show when it arrives on Spotify on the 1st of September, followed by Elon Musk, who is also currently speaking out against big tech censorship and cancel culture. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| Let's see what they have to say on this one. | ||
| Oh, this is a link to InfoWars. | ||
| InfoWars says Google got caught shadowbanning Joe Rogan's number one podcast. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| Google was subsequently caught shadow banning the episode in an attempt to stop its popularity. | ||
| This is a, I don't know about that. | ||
| Let's see what they have to say on this one. | ||
| Oh, this is a link to Infowars. | ||
| They said Infowars says Google got caught shadow banning Joe Rogan's number one podcast. | ||
| We'll come back to that. | ||
| They say, Jones said Rogan told him he's sick of being treated poorly by Google. | ||
| And the straw that broke the camel's back was that Rogan wanted to interview doctors | ||
| and experts who have differing opinions on the coronavirus to the officially sanctioned | ||
| narrative and was told by YouTube that they would not allow such content on their platform. | ||
| I don't know if Joe actually said that, but I can tell you, there was a former advisor to the World Health Organization, this is going viral on Twitter, I don't know if I actually have the tweets pulled up, but apparently, World Health Organization. | ||
| Advisor. | ||
| Gave an interview. | ||
| YouTube pulled it. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| Creepy stuff. | ||
| They say Rogan also told Jones the lockdown has provided him with more clarity on the situation. | ||
| Rogan has noted on his podcast that YouTube is consistently demonetizing his content and removing videos. | ||
| He told Jones that he sees it not only as un-American but also anti-human. | ||
| An excited Jones described Describe? | ||
| I think maybe decried? | ||
| It could be decried. | ||
| Decreed? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| He said the move by Rogan was peak internet. | ||
| I don't know what they're trying to say, whether it was positive or negative, unless described is a word I'm not familiar with. | ||
| Rogan's podcast was downloaded 190 million times per month last year. | ||
| His YouTube channel has 8.42 million subs, and the move away is sure to be a huge strike against big tech thought control. | ||
| Note to readers, eh, whatever. | ||
| So this links to the InfoWars story. | ||
| I don't know what their evidence that this was being shadow banned is. | ||
| Let's see what they say. | ||
| The video wasn't appearing. | ||
| Alex Jones returns. | ||
| And then you can see it's not here. | ||
| Alex Jones believed the video's disappearance could be tied to real-time manipulation of the platform's algorithms, especially as his interview with Rogan has recently begun appearing as the top search result for the search term Alex Jones on YouTube. | ||
| I actually believe that's possible because they did it to me just the other day. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I did a video on the lockdown and it did not appear. | ||
| So for those that don't know the context, lockdown, you know, has happened across the country. | ||
| In Virginia, people flooded to the beaches. | ||
| I did a video and I said, the people have spoken. | ||
| They're ignoring these orders, and the video did not appear on my channel, so I raised a huge stink on Twitter, and then people started sharing the video, and the video started to pick up views through direct shares. | ||
| Now, the video actually appears on the channel, so I think, I don't know what their strategy is, I don't play that. | ||
| If any of my videos get shadowbanned or censored, I go full on every other platform, share it, share it, share it, and I ask everybody to share it. | ||
| And it's only with your guys' help who do share it that we actually break that attempt at censoring the video. | ||
| So YouTube, I think... Let me tell you a quick story, and then we're gonna talk about... | ||
| This is, if this is true, and if what we're already hearing about Rogan, if he does bring on Alex Jones, it's going to break the internet. | ||
| And I mean, seriously. | ||
| But let me first tell you a quick story. | ||
| Or save the internet. | ||
| No, I mean break it as in like the current structure of power is going to be shattered. | ||
| It's going to be great. | ||
| Basically the same, yeah. | ||
| It's going to be really, really good. | ||
| Really good. | ||
| Let me tell you a quick story. | ||
| A lot of these companies know they can't take instant, direct action. | ||
| They can't just ban me, they can't just ban Alex Jones, they can't just ban Joe Rogan. | ||
| Alex Jones was, like, over a long period of time, and it wasn't until, like, one site pulled him that the others used that as a cover to try and get rid of him immediately. | ||
| And it did start a huge backlash. | ||
| So, these companies know that to purge channels, you gotta do it slowly. | ||
| One at a time, so you don't create a big wave that hits the press. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That's why we've been seeing people banned on YouTube. | ||
| They'll get banned, and it'll be like one channel. | ||
| And then everyone's like, oh, what's this all about? | ||
| But this is one channel. | ||
| It's, you know, one guy. | ||
| And then the next week, it's another channel. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then another channel. | ||
| How long ago was Alex banned? | ||
| When was this? | ||
| A couple years ago, maybe? | ||
|
unidentified
|
A couple years now? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Do you know when it was banned? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| I can look it up, though. | ||
| Let me check. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Trying to figure out where that buzz is coming from. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, there we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| There it is. | ||
| I think I got it. | ||
| So, um, in order to actually make these changes, they do it slowly and they, and they learned this early on. | ||
| It's really funny. | ||
| It actually took Facebook a long time. | ||
| The famous story is that eBay, the website used to be yellow. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| One day they changed it to white and everyone complained. | ||
| I remember this. | ||
| So they changed it. | ||
| Slowly changed the color, right? | ||
| Every day they did one increment towards white. | ||
| And then a year later, nobody knew it changed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, we saw that with Facebook, too. | ||
| Funny. | ||
| When they do these instant rollovers, everyone complains. | ||
| Same thing just happened with YouTube. | ||
| When they switched to the new studio, everybody's complaining. | ||
| I was complaining. | ||
| It was bad. | ||
| It was bad. | ||
| They fixed a lot of the problems, so I'm happy with it. | ||
| But here's what I think. | ||
| You know, with YouTube, they are absolutely purging a lot of people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But Joe Rogan's too big. | ||
| He's the biggest podcast in the world. | ||
| So we asked Alex Jones, what are they going to do about it? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| And everybody screamed, you can't do this, he's violating the rules. | ||
| And then I think it was, was it Logan Paul who had him on? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't remember. | ||
| Logan Paul had Alex Jones? | ||
| I don't know who the Paul brothers are. | ||
| What the heck? | ||
| I can't tell, I don't know who they are, but one of them had them on their podcast. | ||
| What Alex Jones is saying, if Alex Jones really is guaranteed to be the first guest for Joe | ||
| Rogan on September 1st, Joe Rogan will force YouTube to not censor the podcast and effectively | ||
| not censor anything at all after that. | ||
| It will be like... But how does that work, though? | ||
| He's going to be on Spotify, not YouTube, doing his podcast. | ||
| When he launches on Spotify, it will be still on YouTube and iTunes. | ||
| So it'll be live on YouTube as well? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| And so, you know what that means? | ||
| Well, not live. | ||
| He doesn't do them live. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| It'll be, like, published. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He's not doing a live stream, any of it. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| Here's my general understanding. | ||
| I haven't gotten any confirmation or anything. | ||
| I'd like to. | ||
| But if... So Joe has said, September 1st, it's gonna be on Spotify, and then later in the year, it'll become exclusive on Spotify, right? | ||
| That means there's this period of a few months where... | ||
| If it's true what Jones is saying, that Joe wants to interview doctors, but YouTube says they'll ban him, what's going to happen then on September 3rd, after Elon Musk comes on the show, and Joe Rogan has on this World Health Organization doctor who recently got banned? | ||
| And that's everybody saying that. | ||
| and Joe goes, do it, I'm on Spotify. | ||
| Yeah, I don't care. | ||
| And then everyone else is gonna laugh at YouTube. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And they're gonna be like, do it, YouTube, ban him. | ||
| Cause he's on Spotify, we'll all go there, no problem. | ||
| Yep, and that's, everybody's saying that. | ||
| Actually, people are coming to me saying, you, Tim Poole and your show, | ||
| meaning this show here, and Joe Rogan, are the only reasons they're still on YouTube. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| They're like, if Tim gets banned, and Joe's leaving already, there's no reason for me to go to YouTube anymore. | ||
| It's not the same as it used to be. | ||
| I think this is why YouTube likes me. | ||
| There are people who used to watch a lot of these... | ||
| I don't know how to describe some of these channels. | ||
| More right-wing channels that eventually have been banned and demonetized. | ||
| And there's an overlap with... I think it's more libertarian, to be honest. | ||
| Because YouTube originally was very much a libertarian community, not conservative. | ||
| Conservative's a relatively new thing. | ||
| We've been watching the spike in conservative channels. | ||
| There's an overlap for the culture war right with content like mine. | ||
| You know, anti-SJW, free speech, all that kind of stuff, right? | ||
| So even though I'm a, you know, of liberal sensibilities in terms of policy, that is completely irrelevant to the political conversation today. | ||
| No one cares. | ||
| Left and right doesn't mean it anymore. | ||
| So YouTube says, we're gonna ban all these people. | ||
| But then we're gonna lose all these users. | ||
| Who do we have they'll stick around to watch? | ||
| Well, they'll watch Tim Pool, you know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're like, great. | ||
| That way we don't lose the users, but we can get rid of people, you know, these other people. | ||
| Oh, they're gonna lose a lot of users, I think. | ||
| With Joe Rogan moving, I think so. | ||
| Yeah, definitely. | ||
| But I do think Joe will lose a lot of viewers, too. | ||
| I do. | ||
| But here's just the sledgehammer to the dam, man. | ||
| September 1st, Joe Rogan has on Alex Jones. | ||
| I don't know if that's actually true, I'm just saying, that's what Alex Jones is claiming. | ||
| YouTube is going to be put in a very, very tough position. | ||
| We are going to lose the king of podcast unless we allow this content to exist on the platform. | ||
| We're already, hey, hey, YouTube might say, you know what, we're losing them anyway, ban them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I think that's most likely. | ||
| No? | ||
| That's true. | ||
| around because Joe said he's leaving. | ||
| I think that's most likely. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| No, no way. | ||
| The bad press would be, it would be nuts. | ||
| The press would be insane. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| It is the biggest podcast. | ||
| And then think about the statement that would come out of Spotify. | ||
| They would love it. | ||
| Spotify! | ||
| Oh man, Spotify would be like... That would be their new commercial. | ||
| Yup! | ||
| Joe Rogan absolutely made the correct move in, you know, joining the Spotify family. | ||
| We will absolutely protect his right to speech and stuff. | ||
| And I'm sure Spotify has some kind of, like, protections for really, really fringe characters. | ||
| But here's what it's all about, man. | ||
| On Hulu, because we talked about this the other day when we were talking about Joe doing the Spotify deal. | ||
| I can watch Solar Opposites from Justin Roiland where they cuss and swear all night and it is very adult. | ||
| And Hulu's got no problem with it. | ||
| It's YouTube that is doing the weird censorship of like World Health Organization advisors. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And real doctors. | ||
| So yeah, maybe it is the right move to get off this platform. | ||
| Because Joe's spoken about the censorship on his show being bad. | ||
| I'm pretty sure. | ||
| I mean, actually, I'm pretty sure we talked about it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, Alex Jones is the first person? | ||
| If that's true, I mean, it's gonna be huge. | ||
| That's a bold statement. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Elon Musk being second, I'm like, I don't know. | ||
| That's not an issue. | ||
| It's that if in this time period where he's doing the show, he starts bringing on guests and YouTube then is forced to ban him, it's Spotify's gonna be so happy. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Especially with, uh, all the other people that they've been slowing up slowly. | ||
| Well, yeah, I'm talking about YouTube though. | ||
| They're, they're banning people. | ||
| They're getting stricter. | ||
| People are getting fed up with YouTube and they're like, what, what is going on here? | ||
| So if this works for Rogan, it's like Spotify is going to be like, come on, this might join our family. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| And they're just going to explode. | ||
| I really, really doubt this, but I feel like deep down there may be someone involved in this that understands. | ||
| This gap period where Joe will simultaneously be gearing up to go exclusive on Spotify but still be on iTunes and YouTube will be an excellent marketing opportunity for Spotify. | ||
| Think about it this way. | ||
| When you look at the comments on the Joe Rogan subreddit and on the YouTube videos about his move, there's a lot of people saying, I won't move. | ||
| I'm not gonna go to Spotify. | ||
| There are people saying, RIP comment section. | ||
| People saying, you know, Joe sold out, stuff like that. | ||
| So think about what Spotify- Sold out? | ||
| That's ridiculous. | ||
| Yeah, it's- What does that even mean? | ||
| Like, he has any- Come on. | ||
| Any allegiance to YouTube? | ||
| It'll be free with ads. | ||
| He puts it out there. | ||
| It's a free show. | ||
| You're like, what? | ||
| And isn't Spotify, there's a free version too? | ||
| I mean, it'll be free with ads. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So, so, so look, look at this way. | ||
| Spotify knows they're not going to be able to convert most of his YouTube followers. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| They're hoping that his core fan base bring, bringing the show will bring these | ||
| people there and eventually. | ||
| I'm sure out of the 8 million people, 4 million, maybe 5 million. | ||
| A lot of people. | ||
| Or already have Spotify. | ||
| I'm sure that Joe's probably got a million unique individuals who are guaranteed to watch the show every day. | ||
| Or listen to the show every day. | ||
| Yeah, probably. | ||
| And then it's the numbers above that. | ||
| So that's split between his podcast, which probably gets... I don't know how much his podcast gets. | ||
| But, you know, out of the two or three million per episode he gets, 100 are core fans who are always coming back. | ||
| That's maybe a high estimate, I'm thinking. | ||
| But think, from Spotify's perspective, they need a catalyst to where the YouTube people jump to Spotify. | ||
| So how do you do it? | ||
| You antagonize YouTube. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So in this month of September... That's his plan. | ||
| Joe can be like, I can have on anybody I want, because I signed this deal with Spotify. | ||
| So he brings on doctors, and then YouTube, if YouTube does, say episode 3, September 3rd, or whatever the date is, I don't know if the 3rd was even a, what day that is. | ||
| Let's say Joe brings on this guy from the World Health Organization who got banned, or those two doctors in SoCal who got banned. | ||
| That's what I want to see. | ||
| them on. That's what I want to see. YouTube then says we're banning this podcast. And | ||
| then Spotify is a statement. The podcast is readily available for anybody who'd like to | ||
| hear it on our platform free of charge. It's unfortunate that YouTube would engage in censorship. | ||
| And then that says to all the people on YouTube who are in the middle of watching and we got | ||
| cut off. Come to Spotify, baby. | ||
| Well, that's why I cut it off. | ||
| It does make sense that it's basically going to war against the big, big companies. | ||
| I think although Spotify, I mean, it is pretty big company, you know, but I guess it's not YouTube, not YouTube big. | ||
| I mean. | ||
| Have you seen... What's that movie called? | ||
| Cobra Kai. | ||
| No, I haven't. | ||
| On YouTube. | ||
| No, I haven't seen it yet. | ||
| It was really funny. | ||
| The show was amazing. | ||
| I didn't watch the second season. | ||
| I watched the first season. | ||
| I heard it was good, though. | ||
| YouTube original. | ||
| And for those that aren't familiar, it basically is a sequel to The Karate Kid, where it's basically making the main character from Karate Kid the bad guy. | ||
| So actually, this is hilarious. | ||
| There was a viral video that argued the main character from Karate Kid was the bad guy. | ||
| Yeah, all the time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that this dude was just like minding his own business and this kid kept, you know, messing with him, trying to steal his girlfriend. | ||
| And so they do this new show where he's basically like an old, you know, like sensei. | ||
| Deadbeat. | ||
| No, no, he's like a deadbeat. | ||
| And then he becomes better. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| The show was edgy and offensive. | ||
| And so a lot of us on YouTube that we were laughing. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| YouTube will make a show that breaks their rules and we can't do the same thing. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's how broken YouTube is as a business. | ||
| What's true for thee, but not me. | ||
| And I don't know what it is. | ||
| I do think things are getting better on YouTube. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| I've noticed a lot of changes. | ||
| Apparently, we got messaged the other night. | ||
| People were saying that the TimCast IRL podcast got verified by YouTube, which means we got a little checkmark. | ||
| Oh, we're verified, people! | ||
| That's right, we're verified. | ||
| I don't know when that happened, because it's a new channel. | ||
| I don't know when that happened, but apparently YouTube, you know, did this. | ||
| And I have to wonder if This move that Joe is doing, it's all speculation whether or not he really does this like anti-censorship salvo. | ||
| But he is leaving. | ||
| He should totally do it. | ||
| But he is leaving though. | ||
| He is leaving. | ||
| That's for sure. | ||
| And so why wouldn't he? | ||
| Why wouldn't he? | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Joe, I'm pretty sure, like, it's hard for me to say definitively because I've listened to a ton of his podcast, | ||
| but I'm pretty sure he was talking about the doctors getting banned and all that stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, assuming that's all true, I'd imagine he would want to have on, you know— | ||
| Those doctors. | ||
| Or just a different opinion. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| About what we should be doing. | ||
| Why would YouTube have it as policy to ban a doctor? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| As prestigious as this guy. | ||
| I forgot his name, but I think his name was Nutt. | ||
| It was K-N-U-T. | ||
| Can you look that up? | ||
| Yeah, it was some Swedish guy, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| So why would YouTube ban that? | ||
| Why would YouTube shadow ban my video? | ||
| I'm like, these things are happening. | ||
| I'm not making them up. | ||
| CBS reported this. | ||
| Why would you ban me from talking about it? | ||
| In fact, you got CBS on your platform talking about it. | ||
| So I wonder, I wonder if YouTube only started doing this because they were scared of the press and the negative press they were getting, so something else might happen. | ||
| YouTube may be doing this out of fear, because the advertisers react to the bad press from the activists in press. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| So when Joe Rogan goes on Spotify, and Spotify has a guaranteed contract and won't take the podcast down, YouTube might say to the press when the press complains, it's on Spotify. | ||
| What are you mad at us for? | ||
| It's an exclusive deal with Spotify, but you're hosting it like Spotify's hosting it. | ||
| And promoting it! | ||
| And then that's the defense YouTube might have. | ||
| Hey, don't look at us. | ||
| We're not the one who signed the exclusive deal on how he's doing it. | ||
| So that might actually pressure YouTube into going back towards supporting more free speech. | ||
| I sure hope so. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| It reminds me of this tweet that I have got pulled up here. | ||
| I can't show you guys, it's on my computer, but it's basically comparing the immune system to our mental... Drop it in the document, I'll pull it up. | ||
| Alright, let's see. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then we'll keep explaining it and then I'll... Well, I mean, it's just a simple sentence. | |
| It's just basically our immune systems need to handle different viruses and diseases to get stronger. | ||
| Same with our intellectual defenses. | ||
| Like we need to be exposed to good ideas and bad ideas to know what a good | ||
| idea is and what a bad idea is. | ||
| It's kind of like the same thing. | ||
| So if they're only getting rid of all these things that they consider bad and | ||
| all this is good, but we're going to keep all of this, it's just pushing people to | ||
| the, I don't want to say stupid people, but like people, I mean, it feels like | ||
| everyone's fed up with this anyway, but there's a lot of people out there that | ||
| are only going to believe what they see on YouTube, what's still allowed to be there, | ||
| What they don't understand is that the reason people are really into, say, Plandemic, and the reason why people are torching 5G towers is because, partly, of their censorship. | ||
| Are you familiar with the Galman Amnesia Effect? | ||
| I think I've told you about it before. | ||
| Sounds familiar. | ||
| Enlighten us. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It's a fake name that was made by some guy because it was a joke about sounding legit. | ||
| The idea is that if you're an expert skateboarder, You open up a magazine or a newspaper or you open a news article and it says, the skateboarder did a whirly bird down a down a down a flue bowl. | ||
| And you're like, those aren't things. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| This is nonsense. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because you're an expert, you can clearly see the nonsense. | ||
| And you say, this is fake news. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But then you turn the page and it's a story about Syria. | ||
| And they say, you know, Syrian dictator bombed kids. | ||
| And you go, wow, I didn't know that. | ||
| You've immediately forgotten that this paper is publishing fake news because you trust the other stuff you're not an expert in. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| But I do appreciate you saying expert skateboard and pointing to me. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| I appreciate that. | ||
| So I bring that up for a specific reason. | ||
| When people see the New York Times lie, Defend Joe Biden. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, any sane, rational person who reads the news saw the New York Times repeatedly defend the Christine Blasey Ford who accused Brett Kavanaugh. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then when this accuser came out against Joe Biden, defend Joe Biden. | ||
| The double standard was palpable. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So now that they don't trust the mainstream media, they turn to independent commentary. | ||
| And then YouTube shuts it down. | ||
| What's the first thing they think? | ||
| The establishment is protecting itself. | ||
| This must be true. | ||
| Otherwise, they wouldn't hide it from us. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And that's not the case. | ||
| Well, not necessarily. | ||
| It could be true, but not guaranteed. | ||
| They're not censoring it because it's true, and they're scared of you learning the truth. | ||
| They're censoring it because it is the mainstream narrative that's safe for their advertisers. | ||
| So when Amazon banned the sale of masks or something, they removed masks. | ||
| Then Fauci said, don't wear a mask. | ||
| Masks are bad. | ||
| I can't tell you how many messages I got from people saying, dude, get your masks quick. | ||
| And I'm like, they're doing the opposite of what they were advised to do. | ||
| And it's funny because now they're saying, get your masks or else or else we'll arrest you. | ||
| It's the stupidest thing, man. | ||
| Get out of the store without a mask. | ||
| Get out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's a funny viral tweet where it's like the evolution of masks. | ||
| It's like, masks don't work. | ||
| If you wear them, you're killing your grandmother. | ||
| Then it said, like, don't buy masks. | ||
| The doctors and nurses need them. | ||
| Then it was like, masks don't really matter. | ||
| Then consider buying a mask. | ||
| Everyone must wear a mask if they go into a private business. | ||
| If you don't wear a mask outside, you'll be arrested. | ||
| It's like, what? | ||
| It's been quite the while, right? | ||
| Can you make up your mind, please? | ||
| Seriously, yes. | ||
| Make up your mind. | ||
| So people naturally don't believe it. | ||
| And then they go on YouTube, where they can see someone like me, and then they see someone like me get shadowbanned and censored. | ||
| So, it'll be interesting. | ||
| I wonder how much Alex Jones is making up. | ||
| Not in the sense of details, but showmanship. | ||
| Well, he is a showman. | ||
| Here's what I imagine. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Here's what I imagine. | ||
| I imagine Joe signs this deal. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then he's thinking, look, the Alex Jones podcast with 17 million views. | ||
| So he calls up his, you know, his buddy Alex and says, Hey, what's up, buddy, man? | ||
| Um, I want to have you on the show, man. | ||
| It did really, really well last time you were on. | ||
| I'd love to have you on. | ||
| And then Alex was like, Oh, that, that sounds fantastic. | ||
| I'd love to be on it. | ||
| It's going to be okay. | ||
| And then, you know, Joe says something to the effect of, I cleared it with the Spotify contract I can have on whatever guest I want. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Alex hears, I cleared it, that I can have you on. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| So like, Joe may have said, you're all good, my contract says you can come on. | ||
| What it really says is they can't interfere with his guests. | ||
| Alex hears, I'm specifically in the contract. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And also hears, I'm doing whatever I want now because I'm no longer at YouTube and I got this contract with Spotify. | ||
| Right, or Joe says something like, you know, it was a good opportunity and I worry a bit about the censorship, I don't like how they're handling it. | ||
| And then what happens is Alex goes, You know, Joe says he's going to war, that he's refusing the censorship, and his contract specifically says I can be on, and it's actually much more simple, like, hey bud, how you doing? | ||
| You know, like, it's cool, my contract's great. | ||
| And then it becomes this article where the headline says Joe Rogan says he's going to war against Google because Alex Jones has exclusively revealed it. | ||
| It's like, wait for Joe Rogan to say something like that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Not Alex Jones, who is a showman who rips his shirt off. | ||
| Who went on another person's show, didn't he? | ||
| He revealed it, not even on his own show, he went on someone else's show. | ||
| Yeah, he was on a podcast, yeah. | ||
| No, but that was, I think that was, is that Robert Barnes' show? | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| But that's still part of Jones' network, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| Oh, I have no idea. | ||
| Yeah, Jones. | ||
| Like, a lot of people don't realize banning Jones didn't do anything. | ||
| I mean, it did. | ||
| It definitely hurt his revenue because he was doing a lot of sales. | ||
| It definitely took him off of the mainstream social platforms. | ||
| But Alex Jones has been around for a long time, like syndicated radio shows. | ||
| I don't know a whole lot about how his show works, but I'm pretty sure he's on the radio. | ||
| Like, you can be in the middle of nowhere and turn on the radio and it's like, this is the Alex Jones program. | ||
| Then he comes on and he talks. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| That's why when all of the, all the censorship stuff happened, I heard he didn't actually lose that much money. | ||
| And that's why he built a new site. | ||
| He's, he's, he's been doing his own, uh, video platform. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like he just does his own thing. | ||
| Cause he's rich. | ||
| I was making a ridiculous amount of money. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| I don't know the exact number, but when they banned him, all that it really meant was he went and built his own infrastructure because he's rich and continues to be. | ||
| And was able to, yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So here's what I'm hoping. | ||
| September 3rd, 4th, 5th, whatever, Joe starts having on more of these guests that YouTube hates, but it forces YouTube to maintain because he's got an alternative now. | ||
| This competition, man, it's market competition. | ||
| True. | ||
| So YouTube gets scared, like, if we censor these videos, everyone will ask Spotify for a deal. | ||
| And if they do it, I feel like they're just going to push more of Joe Rogan's fans out of YouTube. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So Spotify probably knows that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It already feels like everyone's kind of fed up with YouTube. | ||
| So if they do make that choice, everyone's going to be like, you know what? | ||
| That's it. | ||
| The straw. | ||
| That's the one that broke my back. | ||
| I'm out. | ||
| I don't need you. | ||
| You know, Alex is doing fine without him. | ||
| Joe Rogan's going to do... People are saying he's going to like flop. | ||
| It's like, no, he's not. | ||
| He's going to continue doing what he's doing. | ||
| I don't think people realize Joe probably doesn't care. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's good. | ||
| He's set up. | ||
| He's a famous comedian. | ||
| He's an MMA commentator. | ||
| He was at Netflix specials. | ||
| And he does the show the way he wants to do it. | ||
| Now he's got a deal that could be, you know, Wall Street Journal says $100 million plus over a multi-year contract. | ||
| Well, now he's going to do the show how he really wants to do it. | ||
| Without any restrictions. | ||
| I'm excited. | ||
| That's probably it. | ||
| Gloves are off. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| I'm excited. | ||
| That's what Alice Jones was saying. | ||
| I think that might be it. | ||
| His show is going to be better now. | ||
| It's going to be epic. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wow, dude, early days, early Rogan was crazy stuff. | ||
| And then things started to get, you know, like, dude, I just went on the Rogan podcast and I told him, you can't say this name. | ||
| That was probably like, you can't, you can't say it. | ||
| And he's like, write it down for me, write it down. | ||
| And then he was like, I don't even know who that is. | ||
| And I'm like, CIA whistleblower, you can't say it. | ||
| So why would you want to do that? | ||
| If a company came around and said, nah, you can say whatever you want. | ||
| Deal. | ||
| No more censorship. | ||
| No more self-censorship. | ||
| Guaranteed money. | ||
| Done. | ||
| Yeah, that sounds good. | ||
| YouTube. | ||
| There's an interesting problem YouTube's facing with this. | ||
| I remember I was talking to friends about this ten years ago. | ||
| There was a big channel, really really big, in like 2010. | ||
| And I was talking to some of the guys who hosted, I was at Tribeca Film Festival. | ||
| And this was like, I think this was like six years ago. | ||
| They said they used to get a million plus on every video, and they were making mad cash. | ||
| But then something happened and they started only getting a couple hundred thousand. | ||
| And I said, it's a few things. | ||
| In my opinion, it is saturation. | ||
| YouTube is getting way too many new creators. | ||
| And so every day you're competing with a bigger and bigger space. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| Less eyeballs to go around, right? | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Early days of YouTube, you got 10 channels, but a billion people, everybody gets a lot of views. | ||
| The other thing is, I was like, the content you make is silly. | ||
| and fun. And have you considered your demographic is aging out? And they didn't understand the | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| concept. Yeah. Like, what do you, what do you mean? Well, when you did that video of like, | ||
| I'm just making something up of like, you know, a guy dressed like a dinosaur jumping off of a | ||
| building into a pool. Yeah. 12 year olds laughed and all started watching it and you got a ton of | ||
| views. Right. | ||
| Now the people who've been following you there for five years, 30s or no, not another 20. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And now they want to talk about, you know, partying college drinking. | ||
| They're facing new challenges at college about student debt. | ||
| They're starting to ask questions and you're still dressing like a dinosaur and jumping in a swimming pool. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Now you could argue, but we would have attracted a new younger generation to replace it. | ||
| And I'm like, Snapchat. | ||
| It's TikTok. | ||
| Now it's TikTok. | ||
| I'm like, they're not on YouTube, bro. | ||
| It's like you captured them on that platform. | ||
| They are. | ||
| There's still a lot of young people on YouTube. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But you captured them when they came. | ||
| And now kids today who are joining YouTube are watching Minecraft. | ||
| You don't make Minecraft. | ||
| You make silly prank videos. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So the kids aren't watching that. | ||
| Your audience, your numbers are going down. | ||
| So I wonder, this is something that will affect YouTube across the board. | ||
| They need their content to be more mature as the young people who use YouTube grow up. | ||
| Most people, it's like, if you're older than 40, it's a sliding scale where it's like, 17-year-olds are up here using YouTube, and then they're like, 17s are way down here for television. | ||
| But it's inverted for 45-year-olds. | ||
| 45-year-olds are up here for television and down here for YouTube. | ||
| But as those young people, and like, I'm sure, you know, the joke we made a couple days ago was that you're a 34-year-old male named John watching right now. | ||
| The people who, like, the largest faction of, like, the largest demographic for all of my content, including IRL, is, like, 30-year-old males. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Where were these people 10 years ago? | ||
| What were they doing? | ||
| Watching different content. | ||
| Now it's politics. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Now it's the president. | ||
| Now it's, you know, censorship. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So those old channels aren't going to capture anymore. | ||
| That means if YouTube doesn't have a strong base of creators maturing along with the audience, they lose that entire audience. | ||
| And now that YouTube's been censoring channels like this, what do they have to attract people? | ||
| It's like I've been on YouTube for 10 years and now YouTube is just not fun to watch anymore. | ||
| Because the content I grew up with, the creators I was aligned with, who matured alongside me, can't talk about what they want to talk about anymore. | ||
| Yeah, people have been texting me about it. | ||
| Basically, YouTube itself is also changing in a different manner. | ||
| It's getting less and less the YouTube hole. | ||
| You used to go into a YouTube hole and find the craziest stuff, and now it's just half mainstream media and half whatever they want you to see. | ||
| And it's just not, it's not as fun and vast as it was once, you know? | ||
| Yeah, the press claimed that YouTube was a rabbit hole for extremism. | ||
| And they used the far right as their scapegoat, as their straw man. | ||
| Fundamentally not true. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And several studies, so there's never been, my understanding is that there hasn't been a real study proving it, but there have been studies disproving it. | ||
| There have been people who have claimed they did analysis proving it, but those are lies. | ||
| The ones, especially the ones that include me, that I debunk. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because, you know, the way I explain to people, the media argues that if you watch a conservative video, then you'll naturally drift towards the far right. | ||
| That makes no sense. | ||
| Those are two different arguments. | ||
| It would be like saying, if you eat too much chocolate, eventually you'll like white chocolate. | ||
| It's like, they're different things. | ||
| Like they're both chocolate. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| So the argument was, you know, conservatives are anti-immigration, or anti-illegal immigration, and if you watch too much of that, eventually you'll oppose immigration outright. | ||
| No, that's not true. | ||
| Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. | ||
| Because conservatives have been arguing for controlled, metered immigration. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So if you watch their videos, you'll agree with them on, you know, I think, what does Trump say? | ||
| Like, everybody can come if they come legally? | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's very different from saying no immigration at all. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So the example I give to people is like, if you watched a bunch of Batman videos, would you all of a sudden be a Batman cultist dressing like Batman and running around your city? | ||
| I'm sure it happens. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't want to leave it out, but who knows? | |
| I remember those days of YouTube, man, where you would type in like flat earth and then you'd get a whole bunch of the craziest, silliest videos and they were hilarious to watch. | ||
| They were kind of funny. | ||
| I don't believe the world is flat, but it's funny watching some guy go on this screed rant passionately about how he can prove it, and it's nonsense. | ||
| Yeah, especially when one of your friends believes in flat earth and makes you watch all of the videos. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who's that? | |
| I'm not going to say the name, but I'm talking to you, buddy. | ||
| He knows who he is. | ||
| I don't know who he's watching right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe. | |
| But he tried to convince me. | ||
| He put me, like, we sat and he's like, you gotta watch this video. | ||
| And I'm like, sure, show me. | ||
| All right, let's do this. | ||
| I'm just like, okay, where's the science there? | ||
| What about the science? | ||
| It's like, there's no, this is just a belief system. | ||
| And that's all it is, really. | ||
| I've watched, I recently watched, they're still on YouTube. | ||
| Yeah, they're still there, I'm sure. | ||
| I was watching one where the guy was like, just saying things. | ||
| Like, the sun is actually this big, therefore, this makes, like, this thing they've said about the blue dot in this photo makes no sense because the sun is actually only this big. | ||
| And I'm like, how do you know the sun is that big? | ||
| Like, just saying it doesn't prove anything. | ||
| Yeah, the whole the moon is the same size as the sun. | ||
| Yeah, and they just spin. | ||
| And it's just crazy. | ||
| It's the perfect ratio. | ||
| I think it's 10 times the moon. | ||
| It's like 100 times further than the moon, which is 10 times. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Some perfect ratio that they're the same size. | ||
| That's why the eclipses happen. | ||
| I don't know what it's called. | ||
| It's cool. | ||
| It's not an idiom or something. | ||
| It's like a parable, maybe, of the puddle. | ||
| Maybe parable is the right word. | ||
| Basically, there's a puddle on the ground. | ||
| Looking around at the shape of the hole that he's in and he says, this is amazing. | ||
| This puddle was perfectly made for me. | ||
| It fits me very, very perfectly. | ||
| Not realizing that he actually fits the hole. | ||
| You understand? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So people look at the earth and all of the things in the solar system and they're like, how could this be possible that we just happen to be on this planet with all these perfect things? | ||
| And it's like, out of all of the billions and trillions of planets and stars and whatever, we are here because this is the one with the perfect things. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Not the other way around. | ||
| That's, that's it. | ||
| But, but, but, but back to the point about YouTube. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Do you ever do like a Wikipedia bender? | ||
| Sometimes. | ||
| I have, yeah. | ||
| You go on Wikipedia, you read stuff. | ||
| It's like, however it happens, you'll read an article and it'll say, like, the California deal of, you know, 1853. | ||
| And you're like, I wonder what that is. | ||
| And you'll click it and you'll be reading a story about, like, some oil tycoon who, like, sold off his gold fortune to, like, start an oil company. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then you're like, how did the oil barons, you know, come to be? | ||
| And then you start reading like crazy. | ||
| And then it's 2 a.m. | ||
| Yeah, this has happened. | ||
| And it's fun. | ||
| And YouTube used to be like that. | ||
| Now it's like you go on YouTube and do a search for something and you get Fox and CBS and you're like, this is really awful. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's not just about the mainstream. | ||
| It's about how they specifically do not cater to YouTube's core user base or the internet at all. | ||
| Yeah, that's exactly right. | ||
| You nailed it. | ||
| If you watch a segment on, you know, CBS, I'm using them on purpose because they're not Fox News or MSNBC, they're going to be like, today Donald Trump spoke briefly in front of the press corps talking about the Obamagate theory. | ||
| Donald Trump says that Michael Flynn was spied on. | ||
| Jim? | ||
| And it's like, you turn it on and you just listen to it. | ||
| If you come to a regular YouTuber, they're gonna be like, what's up guys, comment below, I saw what you said the other day, here's what I think, here's the story, and it's much more personal, it's much more interactive, designed for the platform. | ||
| YouTube's been moving away from all that. | ||
| Because of the bad press. | ||
| We're here to bring it back. | ||
| Talking to you guys. | ||
| Yeah, but I mean somewhat. | ||
| True. | ||
| Because we get suppressed too. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Depending on whatever we talk about, it's like, if we end up talking about something political, then the only recommendations will be Fox News. | ||
| Even remotely, you know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then they start associating my name with politics, so then if you put my name in it, they're like, there's politics. | ||
| And it negatively impacts, like, so, they ended up with all these smear pieces, YouTube panicked, and then destroyed their website. | ||
| You know, it could be that, you know, YouTube basically got an arrow right through its heart last year in May when they changed the algorithm. | ||
| And it's a slow bleed out. | ||
| So YouTube could be dead already. | ||
| I mean, Joe Rogan's leaving. | ||
| Well, it's interesting how that whole hiccup that happened. | ||
| Was it earlier this week? | ||
| Was it on Monday? | ||
| Hiccup? | ||
| Yeah, we were trying to get the studio to work and YouTube was out. | ||
| People were tweeting us like, yo, YouTube's not working. | ||
| And we were like, what is going on? | ||
| It's not loading. | ||
| And then all of a sudden, all the video recommendations were changed and were different. | ||
| Is that what happened? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, definitely. | ||
| I noticed it after that point. | ||
| I mean, this is just my view. | ||
| Yeah, we're getting like the non-corporate videos again. | ||
| We're getting Tim Pool videos. | ||
| People have been saying that. | ||
| People sent me a tweet with a picture of two of your videos, the same video, on the front page, right next to each other. | ||
| Both of them were identical, same exact video. | ||
| It's good news. | ||
| I was like, okay. | ||
| And suddenly Joe Rogan's like, by the way, I'm leaving YouTube. | ||
| The same day, actually. | ||
| I think he announced it. | ||
| But YouTube obviously knew already. | ||
| You know, they probably knew something. | ||
| So they're probably sweating. | ||
| They're probably sweating like, man, we got to change this because we're going to lose | ||
| the internet, essentially. | ||
| If what Alex Jones is saying is true, it alludes to the fact that Joe Rogan did talk to Google | ||
| specifically about his guests. | ||
| So what did Alex Jones say? | ||
| That Joe said he wants to interview doctors and experts. | ||
| Uh, and was told by YouTube they would not allow such content on their platforms. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That means Rogan was talking to YouTube, that I would then assume YouTube was aware of this deal. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| Here's what I'm thinking. | ||
| I'm not gonna speak for Joe, I don't know. | ||
| But I'll tell you what I would do. | ||
| I'll tell you what I've done. | ||
| When a company comes to me and says, Mr. Poole, we'd like to do an exclusive deal with you, I say, how much? | ||
| And they give me a number, and then I say, I want to be able to do these things. | ||
| And they'll say, well, we can't do that, but we can do these. | ||
| I say, OK, let me call you back. | ||
| You know what the first thing I do is? | ||
| I call their competitor. | ||
| And I say, I just got a phone call from this company, and they're offering me these things. | ||
| Are you interested? | ||
| That's X, Y, and Z. What are you going to do? | ||
| And so I actually, for the sake of other people's privacy, I'll be vague about this, but back when I was, before I joined Vice, it's exactly what I did. | ||
| So I got one offer from one company, one offer from another company, and then I went straight to Vice. | ||
| I went to Vice and I was like, yo, look at these offers, what do you got? | ||
| And then Vice was like, hmm. | ||
| And Vice was smarter than me, you know what they did? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| They went to the other companies and went, he's ours now, what are you gonna give us? | ||
| You should have left the company names out of the, you know, redact them from the documents. | ||
| It wasn't any documents. | ||
| It was just like I went, I knew some people there and I went and talked and I said, right now I've got, you know, an offer from this company and an offer from this company. | ||
| But to be honest, I'd rather come to you guys if you can offer something comparable. | ||
| And so then I'm thinking I'm smart. | ||
| It's smart business. | ||
| I'm leveraging the competition against each other. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so Vice was just like, I didn't learn this until later. | ||
| That they said, okay, absolutely we'll hire you. | ||
| And I said, here's what I want. | ||
| Can you beat them? | ||
| And they were like, absolutely. | ||
| And they vice gave me like carte blanche. | ||
| They were like, you'll do whatever you want. | ||
| Here's how much we're going to pay you. | ||
| And it wasn't that much relative to other companies, but I was like, I get to host all these things. | ||
| I get to do what I want. | ||
| And then sure enough, they went like basically right away to one of these other companies and said, now that he's here, we want you to do a deal with us if you want access to his content. | ||
| At the time I had been doing groundbreaking live stream stuff. | ||
| Making that money back that they were now paying you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
More! | |
| Oh dude, they made like a hundred times. | ||
| It was a brilliant move. | ||
| But hey, it worked out for everybody. | ||
| I got what I wanted, they got what they wanted. | ||
| They were able to monetize off it. | ||
| So here's what I'm thinking. | ||
| I'm thinking this claim, if it's true, that he went to YouTube and they wouldn't allow content on their platforms, it sounds like he went to Spotify. | ||
| Probably Spotify contacts Joe. | ||
| We want you to do a deal. | ||
| He says, okay, let me talk to YouTube. | ||
| He goes to YouTube and says, will you do an exclusivity deal with me because Spotify is making an offer? | ||
| And they say, yes. | ||
| And then he says, I want these guests. | ||
| They said, no. | ||
| And he went, bye-bye. | ||
| Okay, I'm leaving then. | ||
| That's a maybe. | ||
| I don't know for sure. | ||
| I mean, that's, it sounds right. | ||
| It makes sense. | ||
| I don't know if YouTube would care for the exclusivity deal. | ||
| And he's keeping his clip channel up. | ||
| If that's true, it suggests that there won't necessarily be a big anti-censorship. | ||
| You know, movement when he when he moves to Spotify. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I don't think it has to be coordinated. | ||
| If Joe wants doctors on and as soon as he's officially on Spotify, he'll have the doctors on. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And it's going to be it's going to be huge for him. | ||
| Yeah, I can't wait for him to have those doctors that got removed, the ones from California that were talking about it. | ||
| They were basically just explaining the immune system and talking about having a healthy one versus a not healthy one, going outside, staying inside. | ||
| Staying inside weakens your immune system. | ||
| That's all they were saying. | ||
| It wasn't even that crazy, but they deleted it. | ||
| You see that photo of the guy who's super ripped? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then six weeks later, he's super thin. | ||
| But he had the coronavirus, right? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So it ravages his body, basically. | ||
| Well, no, it was being in bed for six weeks. | ||
| Not eating, not working out. | ||
| It was, yeah. | ||
| I mean, he looked in good shape still. | ||
| He was just thin. | ||
| He looked... | ||
| He had a feeding tube. | ||
| You can see it there inside of his stomach, which is a horrible way to get nutrition. | ||
| That's not how you're supposed to eat and it should be temporary. | ||
| So he's laying in bed for six weeks, withering away. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Think about what you're doing locked in your house. | ||
| How many people aren't getting exercise, aren't eating bad? | ||
| There's memes about this where they're like, there's two kinds of people. | ||
| And then like, it's a video of some dude doing like prison workouts. | ||
| And then the other person is sitting there with their gut hanging out, like mustard from their corn dog dripping on their belly. | ||
| A lot of people got limited exercise, getting up and walking around every day, going out to work, walking to lunch, sitting around doing nothing now. | ||
| And being sedentary is going to result in them getting, you know, sick or hurt. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Which brings us to a good segue to what's going on with COVID then, I guess. | ||
| I guess, yeah. | ||
| So we can move off of the YouTube stuff, but now let's talk about contact tracing. | ||
| So this is freaking everybody out. | ||
| Yeah, this is a little creepy, man. | ||
| Apple releases iOS 13.5 with COVID-19 contact tracing feature face ID improvements. | ||
| Can we stop and think about the absurdity of these phones right now? | ||
| For the longest time we were scared and we still are of facial recognition technology. | ||
| So what do they do? | ||
| They put it in our phones. | ||
| And now everybody's like, look, I can hold my phone up to my face and it opens. | ||
| I'm like, you realize it's a terrible security, right? | ||
| Like, if you have a password, they can lock, they'll handcuff you to a chair and be like, give me the password or else! | ||
| And you're like, never! | ||
| And you spit in his face. | ||
| Now they just hold the phone up to your face. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thanks. | |
| And they walk away. | ||
| They hold it up to a picture of you. | ||
| Seriously, that's all you have to do. | ||
| I've tried it. | ||
| That's why I didn't set that lock on my phone. | ||
| I was like, no way. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| It's a terrible security function. | ||
| And so now they're going to be rolling out contact tracing. | ||
| For those that aren't familiar what it means is they want to be able to know who came into contact with who. | ||
| So if we have these things on our phones, they can pull up a map of everyone we've interacted with. | ||
| I'm reading through the update that they're asking me to do right now. | ||
| So yeah, so here, let's do this. | ||
| I haven't seen anything yet. | ||
| Well done. | ||
| There's all sorts of different things here. | ||
| You want to hold it up? | ||
| I mean, I'm just... Well, yeah, but let's see if we can show it. | ||
| Well, I haven't found anything yet. | ||
| There's, like, camera and photos stuff, and, like, maps is being updated, Siri... Let's see if Siri's got anything. | ||
| No, there's a lot that's being updated. | ||
| It's like 150 different things. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| I'm like searching through it all. | ||
| Just slip it in there. | ||
| It's too much. | ||
| I'm sorry, what? | ||
| They just slipped it in there. | ||
| Well, maybe. | ||
| I don't know if it's this update or if it's a future update. | ||
| Is that 13.5 it's showing you? | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| The one I've seen shows the... It's iOS 13. | ||
| Not point anything. | ||
| Oh, so you're way behind. | ||
| Maybe I am. | ||
| Oh no, I'm on 13.5. | ||
| Oh no, it is 13.5. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| At the top, it should say the summary of what it is. | ||
| Let's see, I'll read it. | ||
| iOS 13 introduces a dramatic new look for iPhone with dark mode, new ways to browse and edit photos, and a private new way to sign in to apps and websites with just a tap. | ||
| iOS 13 is faster and more responsive with optimizations across the system that improve app launch, reduce app download sizes, and make Face ID even faster. | ||
| Well, my phone doesn't have Face ID because I'm a little... I think it's a 7 or I don't even know what phone this is, but... But they didn't say anything about that, though. | ||
| Maybe it's because you have an older phone. | ||
| Yeah, maybe I don't have the ability for them to trace me. | ||
| That would be good. | ||
| Yes, I would like that. | ||
| Here's what they say over at ZDNet. | ||
| They say, Apple also included a new COVID exposure notification feature in iOS 13.5 on iPhone. | ||
| The feature is part of Apple and Google's previously announced partnership that enables a contact tracing API for health officials to build apps and use to fight the spread of COVID-19. | ||
| It provides an anonymous way to alert others you've come in contact with over the last 14 days should you contract COVID-19 and test positive, as well as a means for you to be alerted if someone you've been in contact with has tested positive. | ||
| We have a complete breakdown of how the feature works, blah blah blah. | ||
| The feature is found in Settings, Privacy, Health, COVID-19 Exposure Logging. | ||
| Until you install an approved app from a public health authority, the feature will remain turned off. | ||
| We're unaware of any apps that work with the API at the moment, but now that the update is out, we expect it to change. | ||
| Okay, that's a stupid question. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa, New York Times. | ||
| It's a little biased for you to insert, I suppose. | ||
| No, but they're right, though. | ||
| Yeah, they're totally right. | ||
| Here's what we see in China. | ||
| In coronavirus fight, China gives citizens a color code with red flags. | ||
| A new system uses software to dictate quarantines and appears to send personal data to police | ||
| in a troubling precedent for automated social control. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa, New York Times. | ||
| It's a little biased for you to insert, I suppose. | ||
| No, but they're right, though. | ||
| Yeah, they're totally right. | ||
| Well, hold on. | ||
| The New York Times said it. | ||
| What's the date on this? | ||
| March 1st. | ||
| On March 1st, the New York Times said, a troubling precedent for automated social control. | ||
| And now, a couple months later, Apple's rolling out its new feature, contact tracing, so you can track who you've touched. | ||
| Convenient. | ||
| There's been conversations about us getting apps just like this with a color code. | ||
| The way it works in China, my understanding is, if you're in a city and you're cleared, you get a green QR. | ||
| When you want to enter a building, they scan your code to make sure you're cleared. | ||
| But if you leave the city or the specific area, it turns red. | ||
| It no longer works. | ||
| And then you've got to get retested or something. | ||
| Or quarantine again or some ridiculous thing. | ||
| So a lot of people are sharing this update and I think you don't have anything to worry about with the update. | ||
| No. | ||
| I think you should be fine to update. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The problem comes when- I'm not finding anything. | |
| Public buildings or something where the government says if you want to enter the post office, a school, you have to have our app. | ||
| And that means you got to update. So it's not the update. | ||
| It's the problem. | ||
| It's the what do they call it? What did the article say in the from a from an authority when | ||
| a public health authority, the feature will remain unless you install an approved app | ||
| from a public health authority. What does that mean? | ||
| Does that mean Apple and Google have decided to do this just on their own, hoping the government, you know, approves of some specific app that's going to allow them to track who you've touched and talked to? | ||
| Well, yesterday you said, if the school said, you can't have your kid go to the school without the vaccination, you'd be okay with it, right? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So it's almost in line with it. | ||
| The government's going to be like, if you want to use these government programs, you have to have this app. | ||
| And it's like, it's just going to make more programs that aren't run by the government appear. | ||
| Unless they say, if you want to go to the DMV, you have to have the app. | ||
| See, that's where it's like forced. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So you need to be able to, if you drive, people are going to be riding bikes. | ||
| Look at what Dershowitz said the other day. | ||
| That, you know, maybe what we'll do is we'll lock you in your home unless you want to get the vaccine. | ||
| Oh, what a good idea. | ||
| No, he didn't say lock you in, but you have the right to stay in your home unless you want to come out and then you need to be vaccinated, which is... And they can drag you to a doctor. | ||
| Basically the same thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like, come on. | ||
| So we're like China. | ||
| We're getting there. | ||
| I wonder if this is all panic. | ||
| And I think it really is. | ||
| I think you've got, for the most part, Democratic governors, power hungry, but also scared. | ||
| They do not want to take the blame for this if things go bad. | ||
| Then you got the Republican governors who are like, eh, leave it open. | ||
| Notably Kristi Noem and Ron DeSantis, South Dakota and Florida. | ||
| And so you have these Democratic governors who want the power and they see the opportunity to seize the power, they take it. | ||
| And someone actually pointed out to me on Twitter earlier today that a lot of those Democratic governors aren't up for reelection this year. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like California, Michigan, where else? | ||
| New Jersey, New York. | ||
| But their re-elections will come later. | ||
| Yeah, later, after it all blows over and maybe the people... They're hoping people forget. | ||
| Yep, exactly. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| But they don't have to worry about leaving right now. | ||
| They're like, whatever, we're going to lock it down because we can. | ||
| You know, we're going to change rules that have nothing to do with this because we can. | ||
| Take the super chips. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Alright, you know what? | ||
| We're going to go to Super Chats. | ||
| Tim is getting an important phone call. | ||
| Tim is taking a call. | ||
| I'm going to jump into this. | ||
| Heck yeah. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I kind of want to sit in Adam's chair. | ||
| Alright, AdamCast IRL coming to you live. | ||
| Perfect. | ||
| So, I mean, this Apple thing, honestly, I don't mind my phone not being updated because as long as my phone works, I don't care. | ||
| As long as I can still play the one game that I use my phone for, I'm fine with it. | ||
| I had a Samsung S3 for like eight years. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| I never, I didn't need to upgrade it until I got here and I was like, I have to get a new phone. | ||
| I really have to. | ||
| It doesn't do the stuff I need it to do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But yeah, if it works, it works. | ||
| Well, I mean, they, see, they're probably monitoring who's on his phone call right now because they can, you know, and that's a scary premise. | ||
| I really hope that doesn't happen though. | ||
| So we're gonna go to Super Chats. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Because Tim's obviously busy right now. | ||
| So I'm gonna go to Super Chats. | ||
| What's up everybody? | ||
| So I gotta just say thanks everybody for showing up. | ||
| This might be the biggest show that we've ever had. | ||
| This is our biggest night. | ||
| Yeah, thank you. | ||
| You guys are awesome. | ||
| I really appreciate you guys all hanging out with us tonight. | ||
| On a Thursday too. | ||
| Yeah, this might be the biggest show. | ||
| So we'll just jump into Super Chats. | ||
| Yeah, let's go. | ||
| I didn't hear that they did that. | ||
| But didn't they do that with Star Wars? | ||
| censored Back to the Future 2. It's stupid but scary that we could lose | ||
| movies the way we remember them as to not offend. I didn't hear that they did | ||
| that but didn't didn't they do that with Star Wars? The first Star Wars? I don't | ||
| They tried to re-edit it. | ||
| Han Solo shot first. | ||
| You guys know what I'm talking about, right? | ||
| They tried to change it. | ||
| No, they did change it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, they did? | |
| Yeah, they did. | ||
| They changed it so the bounty hunter that was coming after Han Solo shot first. | ||
| He shot him, but in the original edit, Han Solo shot him in advance, and it was awesome. | ||
| It just made the movie so much more cool. | ||
| Like, it was cool in my head. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I really liked it. | ||
| Retrofitting history. | ||
| What did they change in Back to the Future 2? | ||
| What did they change about it? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'll have to read about it. | ||
| That sucks, though. | ||
| Anyway, Josh in Jesus says, Tim... Well, he's not here, but I'll just say it. | ||
| Adam, think any chance of getting a constitutional president in 2024? | ||
| Also, did you get my email? | ||
| P.S. | ||
| Still think you should consider moving to Madison? | ||
| You know, I've actually been to Madison. | ||
| I'm also from Chicago. | ||
| I don't know if you knew that, but unfortunately, I don't know if I can answer these questions. | ||
| I really would love a constitutional president, someone that actually believes in our Constitution. | ||
| Although, it seems Trump pretty much does. | ||
| I don't know about, you know, the whole political realm. | ||
| I'm still getting my feet wet, you know, so Tim is definitely the expert on that sense. | ||
| Jack's ISF says, red states are reopening and the economy is rebounding. | ||
| Blue states are taking totalitarian measures beyond flattening the curve. | ||
| How can this be anything more than political maneuvering? | ||
| I 100% agree. | ||
| 100% agree. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know, the red states are, and we just kind of talked about a little bit, the blue states, these governors aren't up for reelection. | ||
| They're just power hungry. | ||
| I didn't realize that. | ||
| They're going nuts. | ||
| It's just like, what are you guys doing? | ||
| They're kicking businesses out. | ||
| Well, not kicking. | ||
| They're losing businesses. | ||
| They're shooting themselves in the foot. | ||
| Tesla is probably going to be leaving to Texas. | ||
| I don't know if that's confirmed or not, but Elon Musk has basically made it seem like he's pretty much fed up with California. | ||
| We'll see what happens there. | ||
| Kyle Buchanan says, So Tim, you say you want to move. | ||
| Why does it have to be the East Coast? | ||
| Oklahoma just passed an alcohol delivery. | ||
| Well, actually, it's funny. | ||
| I got whiskey delivered like a month ago. | ||
| And it was, I got like four bottles of whiskey, really good stuff. | ||
| Random thought. | ||
| So we do have that here. | ||
| And he does want to be on the East Coast for the time. | ||
| You know, he gets up and there's a schedule that he has. | ||
| He does the news. | ||
| So I think that has something to do with it. | ||
| He was saying that something like 70% of the U.S. | ||
| is on East Coast time. | ||
| I think that's really what he was going for. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Well, and it also makes sense that, you know, he's up and looking at the news and is ahead of everything, you know, so he's right off the bat, he knows what's going down and is making videos before the people on the West Coast. | ||
| Ryan Jones says, Hey Tim, with your business expanding, check out North Carolina. | ||
| Scanner has been to Asheville and the Research Triangle and Wilmington, a gem on the coast. | ||
| We like our liberty and we don't trust our politicians. | ||
| You know, I've been to North Carolina and I really like North Carolina. | ||
| It's a really pretty place. | ||
| I have good memories there. | ||
| Ultra Lesbian says, What's up gamers? | ||
| I'm assuming you're talking to me. | ||
| Although Tim has been a gamer in the past, he doesn't game as much as he used to because he is a workaholic and works harder than anyone I know. | ||
| All Metal Mike says, Whoa, I just got a major jump. | ||
| I have a feeling that's going to happen. | ||
| Because big show. | ||
| Yeah, let's see here. | ||
| Where we go. | ||
| All Metal Mike. | ||
| Will YouTube replace Tim Pool with Sim Pool? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| If he starts blinking really oddly or his beanie's like in some sort of... if it's like a different color beanie, you know something's up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know? | ||
| So pay attention to the beanie. | ||
| Johan Oldman says, here it is again, yet it stings like the first time. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I don't know what you're talking about, but... It's from a song. | ||
| I just can't place the song. | ||
| My bad. | ||
| Is it from your show? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Possibly. | |
| Oh, it is! | ||
| Oh my gosh, you're right, it's Alkaline Trio. | ||
| How did I know that? | ||
| I don't know any Alkaline Trio songs. | ||
| I'm sorry, I didn't catch it. | ||
| I was thinking it was Rise Against. | ||
| My goodness. | ||
| Because that's another of my favorite bands, but no. | ||
| My bad, no. | ||
| Favorite bands, you don't even know their song lyrics. | ||
| No, apparently not. | ||
| Shame on you. | ||
| Too funny. | ||
| Anyway, Cole Tilton says, do you guys like Philly soft pretzels? | ||
| Oh my goodness, yes. | ||
| I love them. | ||
| They're so good. | ||
| I actually grew up in Philadelphia. | ||
| Random little tidbit, I went to high school here in the north side of Philly, and I have really good memories here. | ||
| And so those Philly pretzels bring me back. | ||
| Wolfsbane says, I know this was from yesterday, but as a person that lives in Georgia, it has one of the most bipolar weather in the world, but hey, maybe I'm biased. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know much about Georgia. | ||
| I've driven through Georgia a lot in my life, but only that, just driving through. | ||
| Chet Chrisholm says, Trump taking hydrochloroquine when he doesn't have C-19 is effing stupid. | ||
| If it was on the advance of his doctor, then it's also malpractice. | ||
| You wouldn't give insulin to prevent diabetes or something else before a heart attack. | ||
| Except, I've read into this and what it does is it increases, I think it's the zinc? | ||
| It helps your body take zinc more? | ||
| I think it's zinc. | ||
| I might be wrong. | ||
| I'm not sure exactly. | ||
| Does that sound right? | ||
| Yeah, zinc helps your body fight infection and that's been known for a really long time. | ||
| Right, and I think that's what it is. | ||
| It is a preventative medicine, actually. | ||
| It's not the most crazy thing. | ||
| Insulin, you need to help balance your sugar levels, so that's a little different because the hydrochloroquine helps regulate your zinc levels and helps you fight infections more. | ||
| I don't blame him. | ||
| He's the president. | ||
| You know, he needs to he needs to have as much as he can. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Chris Mattel says, Hey, Tim, do you think the recent CNN comedy in quotes skits from the Cuomo's could be them priming him to replace Biden show he could take smears and such? | ||
| I haven't seen it. | ||
| Oh, my gosh. | ||
| I have seen this where they're messing with the giant Q-tip, the cotton Q-tip. | ||
| It's like a cotton swab. | ||
| Oh, I did see that. | ||
| Is it supposed to be some sort of comedy? | ||
| Yes, it's supposed to be some kind of like, I forget what Tim was calling it, but it was like some kind of sketch. | ||
| And then it was because Andrew Cuomo got the test on live TV and she shoved the She shoved the swab all the way back into his nose. | ||
| Isn't that what you're supposed to do? | ||
| It is exactly what you're supposed to do. | ||
| But they were making it like super funny and I'm like, why are you trying to humanize this guy who has like an 80% disapproval rating who's overseen the death of thousands of people in New York City? | ||
| I can't stand that guy. | ||
| Cuomo. | ||
| Both of them. | ||
| I can't stand either one of them. | ||
| At first I was like, all right, you know, okay, he seems to not not the news anchor. | ||
| Yeah, governor, right? | ||
| Yeah, I was like, all right, this guy's seems to be telling like it is, you know, and then of course, I find they're like shoving people in old people's homes. | ||
| I don't know actually if this is for certain, but it seems to be that people are there's like a hashtag killer Cuomo going around. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, he's responsible for a lot. | ||
| Yeah, well. | ||
| I hope they're not gearing him up to take Biden's place. | ||
| I hope not. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I have no idea what the DNC is going to do. | ||
| Crip Crack Attack says, Joe and Alex have been friends since the 90s. | ||
| Yeah, I guess 22 years they've been friends. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Lior Engelstein says, I think you should look up Texas and Las Vegas. | ||
| Texas looks like the next hotbed for your industry. | ||
| Las Vegas has no real natural disasters and not hard convincing people to come into the studio. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| Yeah, he's pretty set on moving. | ||
| I don't know where he's gonna decide. | ||
| I don't know where we'll end up. | ||
| Jesus says, here is my weekly due to the Beanie Union. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| The Beanie Union. | ||
| It's got a good vibe. | ||
| Glad to be out of quarantine after a week and cutting grass once again. | ||
| You folks should revisit the Batgirl controversy. | ||
| Makes for a great... Listen, we were gonna talk about it. | ||
| I guess we didn't get to it. | ||
| What was it? | ||
| We were gonna get to it yesterday. | ||
| We tried to get to it yesterday. | ||
| We ended up talking about the Snyder Cut instead. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| So that was the last clip from yesterday. | ||
| Oh, right, right. | ||
| Yeah, maybe we should talk about that at some point. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, I didn't watch it. | ||
| It feels silly. | ||
| Like, it's just another go get woke, go broke. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, okay, and? | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| Like, have you not learned that yet? | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Yeah, come on. | ||
| Infinality says, if both Tim and Alex Jones were on Joe Rogan, does that make Tim Alex Jones adjacent? | ||
| Sure why not. | ||
| Sure why not. | ||
| Sneaky Soviet says, there is some drive-in theaters opening near me tomorrow, one of which has been closed for seven years. | ||
| It's pretty awesome. | ||
| I have seen that, that they're opening again. | ||
| That's really cool. | ||
| I remember when I was younger, I went to a couple of drive-ins when I was like nine. | ||
| This is like 20 something years ago. | ||
| Yeah, 25 years? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| Math. | ||
| Ziesel the Fallen says, do you think you'd ever start having guests on this podcast? | ||
| Yes, actually, we did just move up here, but we wanted to have guests. | ||
| We were prepping to have guests, and then a little something called coronavirus 19 hit us. | ||
| So now we've been locked in. | ||
| Timothy E says, Kansas is one true way. | ||
| Every other state sucks. | ||
| Just move here, Tim. | ||
| The only state that still has some freedoms have crap weather because SJWs are too soft to live in them. | ||
| Suck it up, man. | ||
| That's a good argument. | ||
| You got good points there. | ||
| Can't argue with that. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Brian Boinko says 5.0. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| We'll take it. | ||
| Truels Emil Johansson says... Johanna Nesson? | ||
| I think I said that right. | ||
| Spotify did purge InfoWars back in 2018 though. | ||
| What is the difference from YouTube? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| You want to check that out? | ||
| Yeah, I didn't know they purged... I think Alex Jones was purged from every single platform. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| That's part of the Alex Jones thing? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, okay, okay. | ||
| Infowars is Alex Jones. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But, I mean, it seems that Joe has, like, a legitimate contract, you know? | ||
| So he's probably... I mean, he's not going to go anywhere else unless it's a guarantee he can do whatever he wants on the show. | ||
| It's Joe Rogan. | ||
| So we'll see. | ||
| But you do make a good point. | ||
| Kyle Miller says, these states need to open up soon or expect less tax revenue from businesses. | ||
| Can't get much tax revenue from businesses that have been closed for 2020. | ||
| That's a great point. | ||
| That's very true. | ||
| Like, hey states, you're losing money. | ||
| Tomorrow, everything's going to be opening up. | ||
| They're like, oh, that's a good point. | ||
| We're going to lose money. | ||
| We should open up now. | ||
| Yeah, we should shout that more loudly. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| Get back in your coffin says Tim. | ||
| I don't want to smash the like button. | ||
| I want to smash Adam. | ||
| Oh well But on that note smash that like button You can't technically smash me because I'm on the other side of the screen unfortunately for you Drunk Shovel says, give me liberty or give me death. | ||
| Those words should be on the lips of every American. | ||
| End the grip on our liberties. | ||
| Don't tread on me. | ||
| 100% agree. | ||
| It's crazy what they're trying to do here. | ||
| Or rather, what they are doing. | ||
| They are successfully doing. | ||
| Clink Clank Boom of Flavors says, why not move to South Carolina? | ||
| Still East Coast. | ||
| Yep, the Carolinas are there. | ||
| Carlos Cruz says, hello fellow Beanie Floor Bows. | ||
| What do you think about the Eastern religions? | ||
| Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism come to mind. | ||
| Thoughts on Alan Watts and McKenna? | ||
| Alan Watts is an amazing person. | ||
| I don't really know McKenna's work, but then of course You know, there is something about Buddhism I really liked that sticks with my head. | ||
| I'm not sure who exactly said it, but it was said that there's 7 billion people on this planet, so there should be 7 billion religions. | ||
| And I love that because we are all different. | ||
| You know, we're so unique in our own, you know, upbringings, environments, class, everything. | ||
| We're so different, all of us, that, you know, no one thing can make sense for everybody. | ||
| So everyone needs to find their own path. | ||
| And I love that about Buddhism. | ||
| And that's always something that stuck with me. | ||
| I don't know about the rest though. | ||
| Mark Robert Shaw says who was it that said reality is stranger than fiction because since 2016 this world has been wild and honestly I love it freedom. | ||
| You know who also has been talking about that Ian Crosland. | ||
| I don't know who joined me on Adamcast IRL when Tim and Lydia were gone But Ian joined me and he has been saying that we've been we've been chatting. | ||
| He's like man something happened Well, he said it earlier 2012. | ||
| Yeah, the world world actually ended and we split off on our timeline and now we're in some weird Alternate reality. | ||
| Alternate something going on, yeah. | ||
| So it definitely feels crazy. | ||
| Quiet Guitarist Fan says, I respect you three, but your interpretation of BVS was just wrong. | ||
| What is BVS? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| What are we doing here? | ||
| Let me look it up. | ||
| Sorry, I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about. | ||
| Oh, wait, wait. | ||
| Batman vs. Superman. | ||
| It was a redemption arc for Batman and a purpose arc for Superman. | ||
| Batman stopped when he heard the name because he realized he had become who he hated and he had become cruel from losing so much. | ||
| You do make a good point, okay. | ||
| That is compelling. | ||
| Yeah, so maybe he, like Tim said, he could have just stopped attacking Superman and thrown the spear aside and said, you know, just so you know, you've been beat. | ||
| But he didn't really think that maybe Batman had, like, red in his eyes, like he saw red. | ||
| Maybe he really was trying to kill Superman and was gonna kill him. | ||
| and and you that's a good point when he it kinda like brought him back to his | ||
| human side like whoa i'm about to kill this this person who has a mother just | ||
| like me to great point | ||
| uh... went in gets back on well i'll have conversation i'm sure about | ||
| eventually pickle old pillar of world says come to the free state in | ||
| the union new hampshire We have only one freedom festival, Porkfest. | ||
| Well, I probably won't attend Porkfest, but I'm glad you guys are living free out there. | ||
| And you're not the first person to suggest New Hampshire. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Jacob Talbot, thank you for the super chat. | ||
| Glenn Manuel says, Canada, a man was fined for drinking coffee alone in a car at a Tim Horton parking lot. | ||
| Cop told him to leave. | ||
| He started to leave and then the cop stopped him from leaving, ticketing him all on tape. | ||
| I heard about this and it's ridiculous. | ||
| What is going on in the world? | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Chuck Morris says, turned off my phone. | ||
| GTFO while you can. | ||
| Gold818 says, speaking of other platforms, why don't you guys use Restreams.io to rebroadcast your stream on multiple platforms? | ||
| For example, DLive, BitChute, Twitch, Facebook Live, also the OBS plugin combines chat. | ||
| I'll have to look at that. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I'm not interested in Twitch. | ||
| I was gonna start streaming games. | ||
| A lot of people do ask me to stream games, and I am a heavy gamer, and I am actually gonna start streaming soon. | ||
| But yeah, this Twitch fiasco with their... It feels like they're doing the same thing that YouTube's doing, just trying to, you know, be, I don't know, on top of stuff that doesn't even exist. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Tharpen It Up says, move to East Tennessee. | ||
| We're very media oriented in a red state with preppers, East Coast, and most of us are musicians. | ||
| Must be the water. | ||
| I love to jam. | ||
| Sounds good. | ||
| You know, I've actually been to Tennessee and that's a great place. | ||
| And I stopped by a few places that had some amazing vegan food randomly, but yeah, seems like a good spot. | ||
| Graboid Biden, funny name, says, is there any worse than realizing you walk through a spiderweb and then you feel something walking on your neck? | ||
| Just happened. | ||
| Oh no, I'm sorry. | ||
| I can think of something actually worse. | ||
| I was walking from my tent to the bathroom and I was camping out in this place called, it was a Permajam festival a couple, I think it was two years ago. | ||
| And there was a low hanging branch and I brushed past it. | ||
| And I went to the bathroom and went back and I was laying there and I felt something on my neck and when I looked it was a tick and it had bitten me! | ||
| I don't like things sucking my blood. | ||
| That is worse than a spider. | ||
| If you're an insect, then... I'm vegan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I will still kill... I will kill you so fast. | |
| And they don't go down easy, man. | ||
| Those tics, you gotta, like, really smash. | ||
| I hate tics. | ||
| Tics are... They're gross. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Gross. | ||

| Okay. | ||
| Lockdown caused me to give up my heroin sobriety. | ||
| Oh well. | ||
| Oh no. | ||
| I'm sorry to hear that. | ||
| I actually know some people that have passed away from that, so be careful. | ||
| Oh gosh, yeah. | ||
| Big Al says, Cuomo stole the giant q-tip bit from the Simpsons, Krusty the Clown, when he was on Tuesday Night Live. | ||
| What a surprise. | ||
| Not even original. | ||
| Mr. Rich Lopich says, leftist. | ||
| Listen to the experts. | ||
| Non-leftists point to doctors who want to reopen. | ||
| What about those experts? | ||
| YouTube deletes the videos. | ||
| What experts? | ||
| Insert evil laugh here. | ||
| Yeah, that seems to be the case. | ||
| Uh, Chet Chrisholm. | ||
| Hey, what's good? | ||
| Adam's sending you info on Hydrochloroquine tonight. | ||
| Look up Alex Jones' Gay Frogs remix. | ||
| Also, I propose Tim Harumphing alter ego be officially named Baron Von Beanie. | ||
| Not bad. | ||
| Not bad. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| I'm looking forward to reading that stuff. | ||
| And thanks for sending me the stuff that you have sent me so far. | ||
| Chaotic says, Hey Timcast, I've been considering trying We Are Change University to get an understanding on how to do work as a journalist. | ||
| Have you heard of it? | ||
| And if so, would you recommend it? | ||
| Take this 20 and keep up the good work. | ||
| Well, thank you, Chaotic. | ||
| I appreciate that. | ||
| I unfortunately don't know what it is. | ||
| Maybe Tim does. | ||
| Have you heard of it? | ||
| You know, We Are Change? | ||
| You know, but anything to further your mind mentally is always a good thing. | ||
| That's Luke's production. | ||
| Oh, We Are Change. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's Luke. | ||
| University. | ||
| So is he doing like a class or something? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| Yeah, We Are Change. | ||
| That is Luke's. | ||
| I met Luke a few times. | ||

He's cool. | |

| Let's see. | ||
| Jeff McCorbin says, Tim, 1v1 me in Smash Brothers. | ||
| I can send Adam my friend code and everything. | ||
| We can even make it interesting. | ||
| If you win, I will donate $50 to your channel. | ||
| To some that may not be a lot, but to me it is. | ||
| Oh, that absolutely is a lot, and I would love to watch that, because Tim is incredible at Smash Brothers. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| QuietGuitarsFan again says Snyder painted a whole picture in Batman vs. Superman Ultimate Edition of Batman's rage, cruelty, and bitterness. | ||
| He saw how weak he was compared to Superman and felt powerless. | ||
| As Alfred said, a good man turned cruel. | ||
| Yeah, you know, that scene bugged me so much when I first watched that movie. | ||
| And what you pointed out really makes me want to re-watch it with a different mentality. | ||
| Because that does make a lot of sense. | ||
| That he lost himself. | ||
| He became cruel. | ||
| Like a good man turned cruel, yeah. | ||
| That's really, really great. | ||
| Mr. Rich Lopich again says, don't mean to crowd other chats, but I'm trying to get into voiceover work and was wondering what microphone and sound installation you recommend. | ||
| Now that I have no idea, but I do know these Shure microphones. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| It is the Shure SM7B is like the go-to for podcasts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| This is the same thing Joe Rogan uses. | ||
| Yep, they're great. | ||
| So these are like the thing to get. | ||
| I mean, if you want to do something really good that professionals use, obviously we're professionals here. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| The Shure SM7B mic is really good. | ||
| It's a good mic. | ||

| He is trying to do a documentary by himself on the grooming gangs in the UK. | ||
| Last video was about a survivor attacked on May 19th, 2020, just two days ago. | ||
| You know, we aren't doing remote guests. | ||
| We want to have guests on the show and we... I don't know. | ||
| I know Tim is not down for remote guests. | ||
| It's, you know, it's not as easy as it may seem. | ||
| I know Tim did a guest spot on... who did he go on? | ||
| Was it on Shapiro's show? | ||
| He goes on sometimes for The Blaze. | ||
| He'll go on for Glenn Beck's show. | ||
| Wasn't he on Shapiro's show? | ||
| I don't recall. | ||
| Like two weeks ago? | ||
| No, like a month ago or something. | ||
| If he was on Shapiro, I did not notice. | ||
| Yeah, but they did it the day before because doing it live is much different. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Yeah, because we're live right now. | ||
| He just got a phone call from obviously an important person. | ||
| Someone very important. | ||
| I'm not saying who it was. | ||
| But they were very important. | ||
| But I have a feeling most of you know who it was. | ||
| Ooh, it's a mystery. | ||
| We'll see what Tim has to say when he comes back. | ||
| We'll see when he returns, yeah. | ||
| I don't want to miss anyone. | ||
| Mark Robertshaw says, I believe that most UFOs are drones or unmanned craft being human or alien origin because of the g-forces in their movements would kill organic life. | ||
| What, you know, it's hard to believe that, you know, if they're here, man, the whole alien thing. | ||
| I would love to have a chat about it. | ||
| Speaking of, can I get the wide shot? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Hold on one second. | ||
| I've just noticed our UFO is not spinning. | ||
| We gotta spin the UFO! | ||
| You wanna come over here? | ||
| Yeah, you know what, let me move. | ||
| Why don't you come over here? | ||
| Yeah, let's do that. | ||
| And, I know you guys want me to spin the UFO, so I'm gonna spin this UFO. | ||
| It just feels wrong! | ||
| I gotta spin it! | ||
| Alright, now we have me and Lydia. | ||
| This is our show now. | ||
| Take it over. | ||
| So, Moe Gravy. | ||
| Hey Tim, spent my 80 days off work reporting videos on YouTube, the ones promoting narrative over facts. | ||
| I'm a photo video pro, no gigs, no money. | ||
| 80 days. | ||
| That's a long time. | ||
| It's been, oh, we're over here now. | ||
| 80 days. | ||
| It's crazy, it's been 80 days. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Yeah, I can't believe it. | ||
| And yeah, that really sucks that you have no gigs. | ||
| I hope, you know, the economy picks up again so you can start working again. | ||
| Zeryl Gardner says, if the Joe Rogan move works, Spotify will be a new alternative to YouTube. | ||
| Yeah, and that's why I think YouTube is stressing out because it's a serious viable option and they just got YouTube's biggest podcast. | ||
| Not only YouTube's, the biggest podcast in the world. | ||
| It's Joe Rogan's. | ||
| Yeah, I hope they're paying attention. | ||
| Oh, they are. | ||
| They're definitely paying attention. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| All right, so, uh, Black Belt of Confession, uh, Constitution. | ||
| Never heard of that. | ||
| Hey, Tim, what are your thoughts on, uh, from Parasite to Hell trapped at a music festival because of COVID-19? | ||
| Oh, I actually did, uh, see this. | ||
| Do you hear about this? | ||
| There was a festival that was going on in South Pacific somewhere. | ||
| I don't know where it was. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| But then all the flights got canceled. | ||
| Then all of a sudden, they didn't even hear about COVID. | ||
| They were just, like, partying, whatever, at this festival. | ||
| And then all of a sudden, They were like, oh, we can't leave. | ||
| Like, why? | ||
| Like, oh, well, COVID-19, duh. | ||
| And then it's like, oh, what is that? | ||
| Yeah, Tim and I were talking about that on the drive. | ||
| And then they're stuck there. | ||
| Yeah, they were stuck for like weeks. | ||
| Yeah, that sucks. | ||
| Awful. | ||
| That doesn't sound fun. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Kaldroneer says, please disavow lit solar ads. | ||
| They're using stolen American solar SIGs tech. | ||
| I've worked as an engineer at solar manufacturers. | ||
| China is abusing us. | ||
| I don't know anything about it. | ||
| But there's a little bit for you to hear right there. | ||
| Joey Tally says, have you all thought about doing a similar pay method to the one of your | ||
| main content for the whole crew so I don't have to give YouTube money? | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| Maybe we should set up our own. | ||
| Yeah, we need to kind of iron that out. | ||
| People can drop us some coins. | ||
| Yeah, that'd be nice. | ||
| James Wallace says, the madman is back. | ||
| He is bat-esque crazy, but he has been right more than a broken clock. | ||
| I know, that is pretty crazy. | ||
| I don't watch Alex Jones. | ||
| But I do hear a lot of people talking about him because, you know, but it's the, I know the broken, you say the broken clock, you know, the broken clock is right twice a day, but he has been right on a few things. | ||
| I don't have anything that comes to mind, but. | ||
| He's just very kind of flamboyant, not flamboyant. | ||
| That's not the right word. | ||
| Um, I forget what word Tim uses, but it's just like very outspoken and hyperbolic. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So when he says something's true, it's, it's buried under a mountain of other stuff. | ||
| Well, he said he was gonna eat his neighbors. | ||
| Uh, yeah, I hope that part's not true. | ||
| I don't think it's gonna come to that, but, uh, I don't know. | ||
| Let's not. | ||
| I think he was just saying it to stay relevant. | ||
| Not necessarily relevant, but get a little boost. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because that was everywhere. | ||
| Come on, everyone knew that. | ||
| A little cabin fever. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Amansol, excuse me, China is putting cameras inside people's houses. | ||
| How long before that happens here? | ||
| Hmm, I wonder. | ||
| There's no way that's gonna happen here. | ||
| I mean, there's no way. | ||
| I didn't think we would be where we are now. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That's not gonna happen. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Capitalism, Entertainment, and Technology says, Logan Paul had Alex on and I saw the episode. | ||
| It was fun. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| You can check it out. | ||
| Outlaw Bear says, watch Alex Jones's Endgame documentary and see how he called everything happening because of COVID-19 back in 2007. | ||
| That's 13 years ago. | ||
| All right. | ||
| STFU says, per Alex Jones, your description of spreading out the outrage to diminish the impact is literally equivalent concept to flattening the curve. | ||
| All right, I can see it. | ||
| Kyle Miller says, instead of calling CIA leaker Voldemort, call him what Terry A. Davis calls the CIA so that he glows in the dark. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Voldemort's pretty cool, though. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| Wolf Lincoln, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| Appreciate that. | ||
| Mark Robertshaw says, the internet is a modern battleground for civil rights and ideology. | ||
| Time will tell if it moves in real life. | ||
| The case global backlash against authority is yuck. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alter the Dark, sorry, Atler the Dark says, don't forget Spotify was one of those companies that banned Alex Jones. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| Someone else did say that. | ||
| Yeah, I guess it was like a universal thing that Alex Jones just got banned from the internet. | ||
| I don't really know. | ||
| I wasn't really paying attention two years ago. | ||
| It was kind of... | ||
| Yeah, not in the political realm. | ||
| I don't say, not don't, because I'm immersed in it now. | ||
| I can't get away from it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't have a choice. | |
| Yeah, I have no choice. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| No, that's okay. | ||
| Honestly, I like being informed. | ||
| I have zero regrets. | ||
| Good. | ||
| And that's something I've always lived with, just no regrets. | ||
| Because if you get, that means you're wallowing instead of learning. | ||
| from your decisions and it's like having a regret you can learn you can have it but don't let it control you so good | ||
| policy yeah but uh yeah i guess i mean it seems like rogan's got a legitimate deal with spotify he's not going to go | ||
| there unless it's it's official yeah um mr fix it mr fix it there we go i appreciate your common sense approach to | ||
| bringing us facts no matter if they match your political leanings it's | ||
| It's far and few between these days. | ||
| I appreciate that. | ||

| Michelle Maibel says, my home state of California is still on lockdown but didn't seem to stop Pelosi from shooting Botox into her battleaxe mug. | ||
| Have a great day. | ||
| She is a scary looking woman. | ||
| That was considered essential because if she didn't have that Botox... | ||
| I can't believe it. | ||
| It was crazy. | ||
| She looked like a normal human, you know? | ||
| And then suddenly it was like, she looked really uncomfortable, actually. | ||
| Oh, Tim's returned. | ||
| Tim has returned. | ||
| So I'm going to give it up for Tim. | ||

We're all going to move and play musical chairs here. | |
| I had to take that call. | ||
| How's the super chair? | ||
| It's hot in here. | ||
| What is it, like 80 degrees? | ||
| It is hot in here. | ||
| I just got off the phone with, uh... Well, someone said they wanted to smash me and I got all nervous and... No, I'm just kidding. | ||
| I just got off the phone with Joe. | ||
| You just got off the phone with Joe Rogan? | ||
| Joe Rogan. | ||
| So I saw this story... You heard it here. | ||
| So he was talking to Joe Rogan. | ||
| And I got some crazy stuff. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Are we allowed to talk about it? | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| It's a long conversation. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| A lot of, you know, just like BS. | ||
| We were like complaining about censorship stuff. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And that's what it's all about, I'm sure, right? | ||
| Well, no, no, I mean, so Joe said he got a really awesome deal. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So he took it. | ||
| Obviously. | ||
| Yeah, that's what I was just saying. | ||
| He is upset with censorship. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alex made a bunch of, like, he embellished to an extreme degree, I'll put it that way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I'm not surprised. | ||
| And Alex actually took it all down. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So he actually took the stuff down. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But I can say some stuff. | ||
| So, Joe's not going to war. | ||
| No. | ||
| That was not true. | ||
| The gloves aren't off. | ||
| That was Alex Jones. | ||
| Alex was just saying all the stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And Joe was like, he's like, man, it's just a great deal. | ||
| And, you know, I'm going to take it. | ||
| And he did tell me something really interesting. | ||
| And I was like, I had to clarify this on the record. | ||
| Like, is this legit? | ||
| He's like, definitely. | ||
| Oh, nice. | ||
| You guys ready for this? | ||
| I am so ready. | ||
| I'm excited. | ||
| When Alex Jones appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast last time, they got 17 million views. | ||
| Joe contacted YouTube to warn them. | ||
| They said, OK, and then monetized it. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| It wasn't monetized? | ||
| Alex Jones had been banned from the platform. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He had been purged. | ||
| Oh, this was after he was purged? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Okay. | ||
| I'm pretty sure. | ||
| And so, in the midst of all of these demonetizations happening all over the place, he was like, we hit him up and said, hey, just so you know, Alex is on the podcast. | ||
| And then they had forewarning, monetized it. | ||
| That raised a lot of questions. | ||
| Why was Alex Jones removed? | ||
| But when they got a heads up he was gonna be on Joe's show to like huge press, did they say run ads on it? | ||
| They wanted to make that money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They did. | |
| And they didn't care it was Alex Jones. | ||
| They didn't care. | ||
| And I was, Joe, he mentioned, we were talking about it and I said, you know, is the stuff about doctors true? | ||
| Did you say, did YouTube ever tell you? | ||
| No, no, no, no, no, no, it's not the case. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Joe basically said, I have on who I want to have on. | ||
| It's nothing like that. | ||
| But he does think, he told me, we got to have some kind of protections the way we do free speech for the internet. | ||
| It doesn't make sense that you're on YouTube or whatever, and they can just remove you, end you, or iTunes or whatever. | ||
| Yep, just delete you away. | ||
| We talked about a lot of stuff. | ||
| I want to make sure I don't get into like, you know, because we didn't talk about literally just nothing but the stuff. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| He basically mentioned the gist of the conversation. | ||
| When you go to Spotify, when you do a deal like this, you've got someone who asks you like, how can we help you succeed? | ||
| When you're on YouTube, you're asking YouTube, please don't hurt me. | ||
| Those are my words. | ||
| Right, no, I get it. | ||
| That's how it is. | ||
| So, there it is. | ||
| It makes sense. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It's true. | ||
| Alex took it down. | ||
| But I don't know exactly what Joe's contact or anything like that is. | ||
| Who he's going to have on. | ||
| But I guess Joe's like, I'm going to have on interesting people and I'm not going to have to worry about it. | ||
| Is he going to have Alex on? | ||
| I believe so. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But I don't think it's like the way Alex framed it. | ||
| I'm gonna be his first guest and you know. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| But uh... | ||
| I mean, that's about it. | ||
| The interesting thing, I think, is that the monetization of Alex Jones, I think, has huge connotations. | ||
| Like, that's serious. | ||
| That YouTube was simultaneously telling people, like, we're doing these things for these reasons, then behind the scenes being like, yeah, yeah, come on, let's get some ad money. | ||
| Yeah, we'll give that money. | ||
| 17 mil. | ||
| You want to know what I think? | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Alex Jones was making mad cash on YouTube. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| YouTube wanted that money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The only reason they got rid of them was because the media was going after them that means the advertisers would pull | ||
| out and they Would lose more money so here they found their sweet. You | ||
| know double dip yeah, oh, it's not us Get mad at Joe Rogan. He had him on yeah | ||
| Run hands on it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They got to run the ads on it. | ||
| They got to deflect blame. | ||
| Hey, we banned them. | ||
| You know, we can't control, you know, the biggest podcast in the world on iTunes. | ||
| And so I think competition is going to be our saving grace. | ||
| Yeah, that makes sense. | ||
| You know, learning the stuff that Joe never said, this stuff does change a lot of my initial reaction we had earlier in the show. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That, you know, it's going to... But I think it still stands. | ||
| Joe's concerned about censorship. | ||
| He thinks it's insane that doctors are being banned, stuff like that, but it's not his motivation or whatever. | ||
| He's just doing his thing. | ||
| But it is true, in my opinion, because I don't think he thinks too much about this stuff, that if he starts having on more controversial guests, I'm going to sneeze. | ||
| And YouTube will be put under pressure. | ||
| If you ban this, then you're giving away your audience. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| But there's another thing to consider, too, that with Joe doing a deal as big as he did, it opens the door for other creators. | ||
| It expands the industry. | ||
| Spotify's stock is skyrocketing. | ||
| That's not surprising. | ||
| And so how much money are they going to make just in market value from their stock? | ||
| I'm sure Joe Rogan's saying, I'm going to Spotify. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Their stock skyrocketed. | ||
| So now they're like, OK, because of that, now we got all this market, you know, market capital or whatever. | ||
| What's that going to lead to? | ||
| I hope. | ||
| So I just found this out, actually. | ||
| My show is one of the like, it's on the front page, I guess. | ||
| If you go to Spotify and scroll down, it's like number 30 something on Spotify. | ||
| Yeah, even though it gets, like, no views. | ||
| Oh, cool. | ||
| But your show's on Spotify now, already. | ||
| Oh, it's been on Spotify for a long time. | ||
| Oh, right on, right on. | ||
| Oh, your main podcast. | ||
| IRL's on Spotify, right? | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| I mean, I hope so. | ||
| It's not on all of them, but yeah. | ||
| I'm excited for this, you know why? | ||
| If Spotify is trying to get in the market, that means they're gonna do what they have to do to make sure creators are happy. | ||
| YouTube owns the market, so they're doing what they can to make sure they stay on the top. | ||
| Well, there's a few superchats that people have pointed out to us. | ||
| Spotify also banned Alex Jones back in 2018. | ||
| Yeah, they were one of the ones. | ||
| So, how do we know that Spotify isn't gonna... Now they're getting all this money, and now, like, how do we know that they're not just gonna suddenly be like, you know what? | ||
| Maybe we should start censoring and doing the same thing YouTube's doing. | ||
| Yep, it's possible. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| But it's competition that I think will help. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It's not only YouTube anymore. | ||
| We actually have a viable option outside of YouTube. | ||
| And Alex is... So you better be sweating, YouTube! | ||
| I mean, look... No, they are. | ||
| I didn't know they are. | ||
| Alex took the video down. | ||
| I remember, actually, when I saw that article, I said I couldn't find it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Alex had removed it. | ||
| Oh, that's why. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so good on him for doing the right, you know, taking it down because he went off the rails on it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But seems like he's substantially more controversial. | ||
| And one of the problems with Jones now is that he's actually digging himself deeper, doing these things like where he said he was going to eat his neighbors and stuff. | ||
| Well, no, I mean, we just talked about it's like I think he was just saying that because, I mean, sure, he's he's a vibrant person, but at the same time, it's like You're not going to eat your neighbors, man. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| You know, he's saying it because he knows people are going to spread it around. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It did exactly that. | ||
| Alex Jones was trending probably on Twitter. | ||
| I mean, I'm not exactly sure, but yeah, he's putting himself out there. | ||
| But it's digging... Same with what he just said, you know, with Joe Rogan. | ||
| It's digging his hole deeper. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Because now... His conspiracy hole, you mean? | ||
| Well, no, I mean, like, he gets banned from all these platforms. | ||
| Because he's lying no no just because he says controversial bombastic things so then in order to get more attention | ||
| He gets even more controversial is that the word? | ||
| So there was a period after he started getting banned where he started toning the rhetoric down because he used to say | ||
| things like You know he almost said he was he was gonna kill somebody, | ||
| but he's like I will And then he stopped himself yeah, because he gets really | ||
| into that you know when he gets really excited and energetic | ||
| And he's like oh, I can't that's like that's really bad I can't say that hmm | ||
| but they definitely got him banned by taking a lot of things out of context and like taking his innuendo and | ||
| Metaphors take literally yeah, but it was more controversial | ||
| I think he got banned just from a PR campaign. | ||
| But anyway, long story short, YouTube... I don't think they wanted to ban him. | ||
| No? | ||
| No. | ||
| He was making a lot of money. | ||
| Which was making them a lot of money. | ||
| Yeah, they were getting a huge chunk from all of the views from his audience. | ||
| And the only reason they reacted was because when the advertisers said, we're pulling out, they probably had a meeting. | ||
| It's like a fight club, where he's like, if the cost of a recall is more than the cost of paying people out, we don't pay it. | ||
| They probably had a meeting and they were like, okay, how much do we make off Jones per month? | ||
| And it was probably in the millions, some ridiculous number. | ||
| And then they're like, and how much are we going to lose from the advertisers? | ||
| Two million. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Ban them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like, that sucks. | ||
| And then when they find out he's going to go on Rogan, they're like, Ooh, we'll catch it. | ||
| We'll cap. | ||
| We'll catch some of this. | ||
| It's going to be big. | ||
| And then it's 17 million views. | ||
| I don't even know how much money that is. | ||
| It's probably hundreds of thousands of dollars. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Hundreds of thousands of dollars. | ||
| That's a lot of views. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, uh, I'm excited. | ||
| I think, I think the Spotify deal is going to be good things. | ||
| I think so too. | ||
| It's great for us. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We'll see what happens. | ||
| Should we go back to super chat? | ||
| So I'm like halfway through. | ||
| You know, I actually, I want to point out, man, I can't, I forget who actually super chatted this, but we were talking about Batman versus Superman. | ||
| And it was a really interesting point. | ||
| So yesterday we were talking about it, right? | ||
| So the point where he takes the spear and he's about to stab Superman. | ||
| Someone suggested that what he was doing was realizing that he had become the bad guy himself. | ||
| That he actually wanted to kill Superman. | ||
| Not that he was just trying to prove something to him. | ||
| And when he said Martha's name, it kind of reminded him that he's human. | ||
| That he has gone off the rails. | ||
| So it kind of made a little more sense. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| And there's a, uh, they show, I think it's, um, I think it's Jason Todd's, uh, Robin uniform. | ||
| And it says, ha, ha, ha, the Joker, because the Joker killed. | ||
| I think, I think that's what it was. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| And so apparently there was supposed to be some, like, I don't know if there was supposed to be, or there should have been what people, people have said explaining what made Batman turn so dark, where he would actually consider killing somebody because the Joker killed Robin. | ||
| In that universe? | ||
| In the movie. | ||
| In the movie you see him walk up and look at the uniform of Robin with the Joker's graffiti on it. | ||
| So to fans, they saw that and they knew. | ||
| It's a future where... And so it made him go, but the audience didn't get that. | ||
| And so they really had an opportunity to do that moment where he throws the spear and says, you're not invincible. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But you know, I get it. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I thought it was a cool premise. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| I gotta watch that again. | ||
| Where did you guys leave off? | ||
| Were you having fun? | ||
| We were having fun. | ||
| Yeah, I got to be on camera. | ||
| It was very exciting. | ||
| The Botox. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, that's... James Wallace is the next one. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| James Wallace says, Spotify is going for the crown. | ||
| They are. | ||
| They are. | ||
| We're gonna have this period between September and until whenever it is that Joe, you know, does the full flip over. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Where the competition will be heavy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, dude, this is going to be awesome, man. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Because think about it this way. | ||
| Even next year, I'm going to put up a video, and YouTube's going to be like, hey, you can't say that name. | ||
| And I'll be like, oh, all right, let me call Spotify real quick. | ||
| And they'll be like, no, no, no, no, no, no, stop. | ||
| Wait, wait, wait, wait. | ||
| All right, all right, you can say it now, I guess. | ||
| And you know, actually, it's interesting. | ||
| You pointed out, because everyone's home right now in quarantine, and everyone's watching us, But I've also noticed everybody's doing podcasts. | ||
| I know. | ||
| All these celebrities are doing their own podcasts now. | ||
| They're not going to have the time to do these podcasts. | ||
| We're going to stay here. | ||
| We're doing the show. | ||
| So we're going to be around. | ||
| So I think it's about the same. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I just thought about that. | ||
| People are going to stop doing podcasts and go back to work and do their normal, whatever they're doing normally. | ||
| I've already seen, as the lockdowns start to ease, So when the lockdown started, my podcast numbers went down. | ||
| And that's podcast, not YouTube. | ||
| YouTube numbers went up and then down and then up because it really just, it's like the news, right? | ||
| Because they were fiddling with the algorithm, I think. | ||
| But podcast numbers went down by like 30% and I was like, whoa, you know why? | ||
| People weren't driving in their cars anymore. | ||
| They're in their car, they press play, they drive. | ||
| Listening to it as they drive. | ||
| Things have started spiking again. | ||
| Everything. | ||
| Revenue is coming back. | ||
| He's coming back. | ||
| Everything's coming back. | ||
| It's getting good. | ||
| But yeah, Ricky Gervais has been doing livestreams. | ||
| So it's like you got everybody doing livestreams and shows and podcasts and that's gonna go away when this lifts. | ||
| He's a funny guy. | ||
| He is, he's awesome. | ||
| But we'll see. | ||
| We'll see when it lifts. | ||
| I think you can see it in the metrics going away now. | ||
| I can see everything starting to improve. | ||
| I can't wait to go bowling! | ||
| I can't wait to go see a movie or something and just chill. | ||
| Go to a restaurant. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Wolfenkin says, I heard that Spotify are in bed with the ADL and the SPLC. | ||
| So is YouTube. | ||
| I wouldn't be surprised. | ||
| But I think the competition will best all of that. | ||
| What you got to understand about YouTube censorship is that where can anyone go? | ||
| Nowhere. | ||
| So these organizations go to YouTube and say, ban this person, their hate speech. | ||
| YouTube has no excuse when the stories come out and saying they wouldn't do it. | ||
| What's going to happen now is, like I said, that cost-benefit analysis, that cost-risk analysis, YouTube's going to be sitting there and have a meeting. | ||
| Okay, we want to ban Alex Jones. | ||
| How much money do we make? | ||
| We make, you know, a million bucks a month. | ||
| Okay, how much do we lose in advertising if he goes away? | ||
| We're going to lose two million. | ||
| And then what happens? | ||
| And then a bunch of other creators are going to jump ship with him to the other platform. | ||
| And they're going to go- So they're going to, cost analysis will- Add more people. | ||
| Yeah, and they'll lose way more. | ||
| Or, they'll say, we lose the money, but Spotify gains the money. | ||
| And then YouTube's gonna be like, and what's our projections? | ||
| Well, Spotify's growing at, you know, X percentage per year. | ||
| If we start losing our audience to them by censoring people, take a look at TikTok. | ||
| When TikTok started getting complaints for hate speech, you know what they did? | ||
| They banned the people being bullied, not the bullies. | ||
| Oh, that's right. | ||
| I remember that. | ||
| So there's an easy way to explain it. | ||
| There's a fat woman. | ||
| So weird. | ||
| Does a TikTok. | ||
| A bunch of people start mocking the person for being fat. | ||
| So TikTok banned the fat girl, not the people attacking her because they said, Why would we ban the 300 people instead of the one person? | ||
| It makes more sense. | ||
| Not morally. | ||
| Ethically. | ||
| It makes sense to them monetarily, maybe. | ||
| Made them the most money. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So I think right now, because YouTube has no competition, they're not concerned about losing. | ||
| But if you have Spotify dominating the podcast market, you have YouTube losing a large chunk of its mature audience, which it desperately needs. | ||
| YouTube, so the secret is if you're a 34 year old male, you are the power. | ||
| That's what YouTube and Fox and CNN are desperately trying to get. | ||
| 34 year old men. | ||
| That's the golden, you know, identity or whatever. | ||
| The key demographic is like 20, 28 to like 35. | ||
| That's what they're aiming for. | ||
| If YouTube, not that they are going to lose Rogan, they're probably sitting there thinking like, hmm, how many people are going to go with him? | ||
| What's that going to do to us? | ||
| How much more are we going to have to spend subsidizing this? | ||
| And then if Spotify ends up winning this battle, what do we have left? | ||
| Spotify's going to host videos. | ||
| They did in the past. | ||
| They're going to do it in the future. | ||
| So I think you're going to start seeing some healthy competition. | ||
| I'm excited for it. | ||
| I'm glad it's happening. | ||
| It's the video push, man. | ||
| Jason says, it's so weird to see the progressives fighting for shutdown and the conservatives fighting for opening. | ||
| Historically, it's the other way around. | ||
| Everything seems to flip. | ||
| It doesn't make sense anymore. | ||
| Dim Sum Nim Sum says, I think how strictly you said not to say Voldemort's name really sink in with Joe. | ||
| But I don't think he realized how bad it was. | ||
| When I told him on the show, you can't say this name. | ||
| So I just told him, I was like, you realize that Rand Paul was on the Senate floor. | ||
| Saying this guy's name, talking about it. | ||
| Having nothing to do with the context of impeachment. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And they banned C-SPAN. | ||
| That's nuts. | ||
| Like, I don't think, you know... But, you know, Joe is concerned about censorship. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I think he's seeing it more and more. | ||
| Like, it's really... He didn't realize when he had Jack Dorsey on what was going on. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then he saw people, like, saying all this stuff and was like, whoa, what is this? | ||
| You know, what did I miss? | ||
| He's a comedian, man. | ||
| He's an MA commentator, so he's not into politics. | ||
| He is, but not the same as, you know, like, I would be. | ||
| So yeah, I think it did. | ||
| I think it did, you know, mean something. | ||
| But I also imagine he's been working on this deal for a long time. | ||
| I mean, come on. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like the scale of the deal. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| The size of his show. | ||
| He's probably had a bunch of lawyers. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| Crypt Crack Attack says, Rogan, today, let's hope that PewDiePie is next. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| PewDiePie on Spotify? | ||
| Maybe? | ||
|
unidentified
|
If Spotify starts doing videos, man, that would be... How many million followers does PewDiePie have? | |
| 100. | ||
| I've never seen a PewDiePie video. | ||
| They're pretty good. | ||
| He just kind of does his thing. | ||
| He's just PewDiePie, you know? | ||
| Cool. | ||
| So he's done some really, really good videos. | ||
| He's done some philosophy videos, too. | ||
| Yeah, he did one on stoicism I still have to watch. | ||
| You haven't seen a video on stoicism? | ||
| I haven't, I know, I'm way behind. | ||
| But you're so stoic. | ||
| Did you remind everybody they had to smash that like button? | ||
| I did. | ||
| Excellent. | ||
| I did. | ||
| YouTube's broken right now, I can't see it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We actually, you didn't know this, we hit 18,000 people today. | ||
| Dude, we did. | ||
| 18? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| We hit 18k. | ||
| We're at almost 16 right now. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What are you guys doing? | ||
| They're hanging out with the coolest podcast on YouTube. | ||
| It's because we're talking about Alex Jones and Joe Rogan. | ||
| No. | ||
| Well, maybe. | ||
| Or we're just cool. | ||
| Well, hey man, guess what? | ||
| Those 2,000 people who left just missed that. | ||
| They did. | ||
| They missed the secret information we just got. | ||
| I was surprised. | ||
| I was like, did Joe not mention this before? | ||
| Yeah, I guess. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| To me, that's huge. | ||
| Cool, you guys got the inside information right when he got back. | ||
| As we heard it, you heard it. | ||
| I had to ask Joe, I was like, wait, that's on the record. | ||
| He's like, yeah, bro, yeah. | ||
| I'm like, what? | ||
| Like, alright. | ||
| Like, while everybody's getting demonetized? | ||
| That's crazy, man. | ||
| Yeah, that is interesting. | ||
| They had a heads up. | ||
| Yeah, this one's good. | ||
| All the ranting, all the crazy, all of the stuff. | ||
| Wow, man. | ||
| Yeah, they wanted a piece of that money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They did. | |
| Because that's a lot of money. | ||
| They were like, yeah, we'll make that money. | ||
| Lou Bella says, West Virginia could use the revitalization you bring, and its topography makes it easy to social distance, but also contributes to its insular culture. | ||
| Internet is also spotty across the state. | ||
| I've done some checks on West Virginia. | ||
| There are so many people trying to influence where you move. | ||
| But I do want to be close to where we already are. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I would like that too. | ||
| Yeah, the meme on Rogan's subreddit is RoganWorld. | ||
| RoganWorld? | ||
| He has this big deal now he can do whatever, like he can build a city or whatever. | ||
| Go make a spot somewhere? | ||
| Nah man, you know what people end up doing? | ||
| Sounds awesome though. | ||
| These are the things that I won't know having talked to him because there's certain questions you don't ask about a person's personal life and something like that. | ||
| You know, most people do boring stuff. | ||
| I'm not trying to, you know, it's no disrespect to him or Elon or anybody else. | ||
| I guess Elon's building spaceships, so he's one of the few people doing crazy stuff. | ||
| That's not really boring, yeah. | ||
| But I think you can see what somebody does. | ||
| And we know what Joe does. | ||
| He's going to keep doing it. | ||
| I don't think anything will change. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like Elon was building crazy stuff and then got money and started building more crazy stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He makes flamethrowers and electric cars, you know. | ||
| It'd be cool, though. | ||
| All right, Napalm says, what if Democrats are keeping the lockdown to ruin the economy and blame Trump, while social media and mainstream news censors and covers for the DNC to prevent them from being blamed for the economy? | ||
| Too grandiose of a conspiracy for me. | ||
| I do think they're first and foremost scared of being blamed for it. | ||
| And I think some of them do see an opportunity to exploit this for personal gain. | ||
| And I think the media just falls in line. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| The media is just like, whatever the Democrats say, you know, that's what's popular with the audience. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Seems that way. | ||
| SMU says, Tim, the reason you might have been wrong about the 2010 midterm results was because you are ignoring the fact that the Mueller probe was dragging on through that. | ||
| Not your predictions. | ||
| You were still spot on. | ||
| That's another, that's a really good point. | ||
| Now, at the time, a lot of people may have believed the Mueller stuff was real. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then came out to vote. | ||
| And now that it's gone, people might not care. | ||
| Yeah, it's true. | ||
| Jeff Hardesty says if you use the horseshoe theory, the far left and right are both adjacent to the far right. | ||
| Not related to today's show, but I thought it was funny. | ||
| It is. | ||
| Zachary Tietjen. | ||
| Spotify is owned by Google, according to Jimmy Dore. | ||
| Isn't that true? | ||
| I don't know if that's true. | ||
| I don't know if that's true either. | ||
| Yeah, they wouldn't be competing, that wouldn't make sense. | ||
| But, I don't know. | ||
| Isn't Spotify a Swedish company? | ||
| I'm pretty sure, yeah. | ||
| Wax, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Graph Ontario says, at this point, I've long accepted Spotify as a lesser evil. | ||
| YouTube is getting worse, and I managed to join a promo where I got free Hulu quite a while back. | ||
| Hey, cool. | ||
| I mean, competition. | ||
| That's all that matters. | ||
| They can both be evil, but as long as they're forced to compete with each other, then it's going to be better for everybody. | ||
| Aaron says, I feel like Barney from How I Met Your Mother was the catalyst for making Cobra Kai. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I love that show. | ||
| It's a great show. | ||
| Andrew says, as a fairly right-wing person, your policies that may land on the left help me avoid confirmation bias. | ||
| I may not agree 100%, but your fairness and journalistic integrity are what keeps me watching. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Mark says, Mind over matter is very real but hard to achieve. | ||
| John Dempsey says, Love you. | ||

| We all will. | ||
| The Hylian Juggalo. | ||
| Good on Joe. | ||
| I hope the Vinesauce people leave Twitch soon. | ||
| They're the only people on there worth watching. | ||
| Olivia says, Thanks for truth. | ||
| You listen every day and Alkaline Trio. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| Alkaline Trio is great. | ||
| Mark says, AK-47 is the best gun. | ||
| Main reason? | ||
| Aliens don't invade. | ||
| Perhaps. | ||
| Chisholm says, two docs are grossly inaccurate. | ||
| I'll send that too. | ||
| Maybe the two doctors that were talking about the immune system in California. | ||
| So I think if your numbers are accurate on how many people we've had, it might get really difficult to go through all the superchats at this point. | ||
| Yeah, that's a lot. | ||
| Oh no, we're good. | ||
| We're okay. | ||
| Let's just rock them out. | ||
| We don't have that much time left. | ||
| Zai Yen says, how much money for a Beanie List stream? | ||
| I think the last number was 500,000? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep, 500,000. | |
| Half a million. | ||
| Yep, half a million. | ||
| Magic Man says, YouTube is China-centric. | ||
| I will not be surprised. | ||
| Outlaw Bear says, safer advertisers means Big Pharma-friendly. | ||
| Who else buys ads on CNN or Fox? | ||
| Those commercials where they're like, is Florboestra good for you? | ||
| Contact your doctor and ask them. | ||
| Those commercials, they're so weird, right? | ||
| They're so weird. | ||
| And then they do all the side effects and this little... | ||
| diarrhea that this is a little of the world of it's like what does that even mean i got it | ||
|
unidentified
|
you don't talk about yeah they'll give you like the side effect of death by the | |
| way this might kill you oh yes and also your eyes will bleed | ||
| your uh... skin might fall off in some areas but don't worry it'll stop you | ||
| from having a heartburn like what what's what's what's funny about the noise | ||
| why would i on like with without any prompt just randomly call my doctor and | ||
| be like is florida wester right for me And he's gonna be like, no, no, it's for like 80 year olds. | ||
| Or yes, because doctors get paid by those people too. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| I don't know if that's still a thing. | ||
| I'm pretty sure it's still a thing though. | ||
| When I first got to California, I was on the Venice boardwalk and some guy stopped me and he was like yelling weed card, weed card. | ||
| And he was like, yo bro, bro, come here, come here. | ||
| And I was bored, I had nothing to do. | ||
| So I was like, what up? | ||
| And he's like, you got your weed card yet? | ||
| And I was like, no, what is that for weed? | ||
| Medicinal marijuana, man. | ||
| It's legal. | ||
| And I was like, no, no, I don't. | ||
| And he goes, but you're like sick, right? | ||
| And I was like, no, I'm actually OK. | ||
| You're sick. | ||
| He's like, no, but you're not a doctor. | ||
| You can't say that. | ||
| You don't know. | ||
| You got to see our doctor. | ||
| And I was like, but I got nothing to see the doctor about. | ||
| And he goes, Your feet hurt, and I was like the wall. | ||
| Did he stomp on your foot? | ||
| No, I was skateboarding I was like well like not right now, and he's like they hurt sometimes right and I was like I was like bro. | ||
| You see me holding a skateboard. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| I'm not a doctor I'm a doctor gosh like your feet hurt sometimes. | ||
| He's like mmm. | ||
| You better see our doctor about that He's like five bucks to get a weed car you buy weed, and I'm like alright, dude. | ||
| Oh I'm gonna walk away. | ||
| I thought it was hilarious though. | ||
| He's right though. | ||
| I'm not a doctor. | ||
| I think I know how my feet are hurting though. | ||
| It's like I finished a session. | ||
| I do miss skating the Venice Boardwalk. | ||
| Venice is great. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Cameron says, have five bucks, I would give more, but need to pay the king's tax to the Alphabet Boys to exercise my rights. | ||
| Unfortunate. | ||
| Vsidious says, consider Florida for your move. | ||
| Coast's not as hot as you'd think, and never a shortage of news, especially with Florida Man. | ||
| Florida Man not drinking and driving, just at stop signs. | ||
| Still a favorite. | ||
| We lived in Florida. | ||
| We did. | ||
| No dice. | ||
| No thank you. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Swimming in the air. | ||
| It was really cool when it thunderstorms. | ||
| I have some good memories. | ||
| I have some bad memories. | ||
| It's like living in a jungle with a thunderstorm was cool. | ||
| Like, the amount of rain that poured down was insane. | ||
| But yeah, 100 degrees and max humidity, I'll pass. | ||
| Oh, I have huge news. | ||
| Did we mention the beanies yet? | ||
| No. | ||
| We may actually have these beanies. | ||
| Those exact beanies, everybody. | ||
| With the custom symbols available directly through the YouTube store. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I'm waiting for confirmation. | ||
| I was told by someone working in this system, I'm trying to be vague, saying, I think we can source these and get everything ready and good to go for you. | ||
| We'll let you know by next week. | ||
| They said, we can let you know by tomorrow. | ||
| We'll try to do our best. | ||
| It might be next week. | ||
| And I was like, the sooner the better. | ||
| I was like, because we're going to sell, you know, 50,000 of these overnight. | ||
| Overnight? | ||
| I'm kidding. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I explained to them what we were looking for and they were like, here's what we have available. | ||
| And I said, I'd rather get it perfect. | ||
| And they said, maybe we can actually source a custom product. | ||
| And I was like, if you do this, you do this fast, it's on. | ||
| And they were like, you got it. | ||
| That'd be so cool. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| So then it would just be like a link under the video. | ||
| You'd see the beanie, just click the beanie on the video and boom, you get one. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That would be awesome. | ||
| That'd be awesome. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Grant says, along with the Canadian government's goal of monopoly force with their OIC firearm ban, we have police upgrading their armaments to 300 blackout in Quebec. | ||
| Meanwhile, we've banned more airsoft gear. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Silly. | ||
| Mr. Schwagen says, everyone needs to wear a mask in public via public fiat for everyone's safety. | ||
| Wait, is that a hijab? | ||
| How dare you treat women like that? | ||
| Didactic says, I believe Joe is fighting censorship. | ||
| If Spotify opens their video platform for smaller creators, this can change everything and be a serious threat to YouTube. | ||
| Spotify is open for smaller creators with this camera. | ||
| You can actually very easily get your show on Spotify and everyone should do it. | ||
| So I use Buzzsprout, which is an RSS-like podcasting service. | ||
| And it very easily explains to you how to get on iTunes, how to get on Google, how to get on Spotify. | ||
| But puts them out there for you on all of them? | ||
| So what it does is it shows you how you sign up. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And then Spotify approves you. | ||
| It takes like less than a day. | ||
| And then the hosting service I use puts my, like, what Spotify does is it calls to the link from my provider. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So if you go to Spotify, open the app and go to podcasts and scroll down, you'll see the Tim Pool Daily Show. | ||
| I don't know if TPS IRL is there yet because we get a lot less views than IRL. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We get a lot of views on YouTube. | ||
| YouTube is like 20 to 30 times more views, like, in my experience. | ||
| Podcasts is weird. | ||
| It's funny because there are a lot of people I see who get ridiculously huge podcast downloads but nothing on YouTube. | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| Just different markets, I guess. | ||
| Yeah, maybe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Hudson says, Ethan Klein and Pokimane have engaged in sponsor shaming, which will drive more content creators away from YouTube in light of Rogan's move to Spotify. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's going on? | |
| I'll have to look that up. | ||
| I don't know about it. | ||

| Is that like why I wear my sunglasses at night? | ||
| Justin O'Toole mentions that the Georgia man who filmed Ahmaud Arbery has been charged for murder and attempt, uh, he says false imprisonment, but I believe it's attempted false imprisonment. | ||
| That's crazy! | ||
| Just filmed it. | ||
| He was just filming it? | ||
| The guy filming it? | ||
| But they're arguing he was an accomplice, I guess? | ||
| Man, I don't believe in, I don't think justice matters when the public opinion is, is, is, is, is angry. | ||
| Yeah, that whole thing, man. | ||

Awesome. | |

| Stanley Desart says, bro, I've been waiting for a move like Joe to shift the power dynamics of the monopoly YouTube has. | ||
| If it didn't have such a strong hold on video content, it'd be gone. | ||
| I pray censorship bites them. | ||
| It's all about the partnership program, man. | ||
| That is everything. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| If there was a platform that said, we will pay you, like a CPM, people would be like, I'm there. | ||
| But YouTube's the only one where it's like, you can have a career here. | ||
| And it's because they have a stranglehold on it. | ||
| Soob says, hey guys, huge fan here, keep up the great work. | ||
| Tim, did you know that your second channel isn't allowing people to hit the notification bell for kids content? | ||
| Wait. | ||
| Wait, what does that mean? | ||
| I don't know what that means. | ||
| Shouldn't be kids content anyway. | ||
| Hit the notification bell for kids content? | ||
|

What? | |
| Off a look into it. | ||
| No idea. | ||
| Huh. | ||
| D14 says, Ubisoft terms of service change. | ||
| Lady Lydia, pull it up please. | ||
| It's a huge breach of service and overreach. | ||
| Tim, you have the power to bring to light. | ||
| We will take a look into it. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know anything about it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Sean Moore says, I'm a 30-year-old male. | ||
| 10 years ago, I was at Occupy. | ||
| Tim, you might remember me. | ||
| I was the guy who worked there but still ate the free protest pizzas. | ||
| I don't remember. | ||
| I apologize. | ||
| Mark Robertshaw says, so YouTube is trying to be like a newspaper. | ||
| Apparently so. | ||
| Student of History. | ||
| The sun is about 400 times the size of the moon, but the moon is 400 times closer to us. | ||
| That's how they look the same. | ||
| We get eclipse. | ||
| Also, sometime in the future, we're going to lose the moon, and the sun will eat us. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| One inch a year. | ||
| There's a... I forgot what it's called. | ||
| It's a simulator for space. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's one of the most fun games ever. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| Yeah, you can just like... Is it on a computer? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I have it on my other computer. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| And it's on Steam. | ||
| And it's probably called like Solar System Simulation or something. | ||
| People will probably point it out. | ||
| Sounds like fun. | ||
| You just... I would make Earth spin really, really fast. | ||
| Yeah, and then I increase the temperature and see what happens and decrease it. | ||
| And then if you increase the temperature too much, it explodes. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| It's fun. | ||
| Is it realistic, though? | ||
| Yeah, you're watching everything move and you can speed things up. | ||
| And you can speed up the orbit of Earth and then watch it get slingshotted off our solar system and then just start drifting away. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's awesome. | |
| And then as it gets further away, you see the temperature start dropping rapidly. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And then it turns to ice or something. | ||
| Oh, cool. | ||
| But I always like, uh, the fun is you can turn the sun into a black hole. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| You're just increasing the mass. | ||
| And then all of a sudden it just, it grows and grows and blows up and everything. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's a fun game. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cool. | |
| I want to check that out. | ||
| It's fun. | ||

| Universe Simulator, I think it's called. | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| Universe Sandbox? | ||
| Universe Sandbox 2, someone says. | ||
| Oh, maybe. | ||
| It's fun. | ||
| Maybe there's another one. | ||
| It's like, I'm going to move the sun over here and then all the planets just go straight in other directions. | ||
| That's fun. | ||
| Because there's no longer anything to orbit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| Ryan Vero says, do you have a Faraday cage for the bug out van? | ||
| Only thing in the world I'm worried about is solar outbursts. | ||
| No, but I'll get a big microwave and then I'll put a little microwave in it. | ||
| Yeah, that's a good point. | ||
| There could be a solar flare that could just knock us off. | ||
| I saw one of the largest solar flares recorded and its size comparison compared to the earth. | ||
| So if the earth is this big, it was like this big. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it was like, whoa! | ||
| So if that hit us, I mean... Didn't we have one of those in like the 1800s? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But it was before we had a big electrical grid. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Before we heavily relied on technology, yeah. | ||
| Yep. | ||

| Blaine says Bitcoin is going to skyrocket to 100,000 by the end of 2021. | ||
| Time to buy is now. | ||
| I was thinking about it. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| But I also think that it's exactly what, like, the conspiracy theorists don't understand how good Bitcoin is for the global, you know, Illuminati, whatever they think it is. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| A system where every transaction can be traced? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, so they have to know your address. | ||
| Yeah, they'll have an AI, or not even an AI, just a computer that can calculate all of the different movements. | ||
| They'll easily, using metadata, identify you. | ||
| And then they'll know everything you spend all your money on. | ||
| And of course, we just talked about a solar flare that could technically erase all of the bitcoins. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And it's like, oh, suddenly there's no electronics anymore. | ||

| Brewmaster says, speaking of being censored, I have been told to rewrite plenty of my superchats because they tip off filters. | ||
| The comments in question are based and nose-pilled related. | ||
| Yeah, I've had people mention that in superchat several times. | ||
| Certain words don't appear. | ||
| I actually tried superchatting when we were on the road, and I said something like, don't touch my effing UFO because you moved it, and it didn't come up. | ||

| No, I mean... Maybe because you have an older phone. | ||
| Yeah, maybe. | ||
| Maybe it can't... Maybe it's too... Oh, you know what? | ||
| I think you have the 7? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It doesn't have NFC. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| Near Field Communications. | ||
| That might be it, yeah. | ||
| But maybe not. | ||
| I'd imagine they would use Bluetooth or something. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Corey says, when does Soy Jesus ride at the head of 10,000 vegan saints to pass judgment on the fake news and censorship of the world? | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| I think that's one of the biggest things that differentiate me being a vegan from most vegans. | ||
| People like the stereotypical vegan. | ||
| I don't pass judgment. | ||
| I mean, obviously, that's what this show is, is us judging everything. | ||
| Complaining, judging. | ||
| No, I don't judge people for what they eat. | ||
| As far as like, you can eat whatever you want, like whatever. | ||
| It's not going to affect me. | ||
| I'm not going to get triggered because you're a meat eater. | ||
| There's authoritarian veganism and libertarian veganism. | ||
| Okay, eat a steak. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| My dad makes the best steaks ever. | ||
| I don't eat steak right now, but I can still say that. | ||
| Like, whatever. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah, you can go on the political compass and be libertarian or authoritarian. | ||
| They'll add vegan to the political compass somewhere. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm more of like his main general, you know, that happens to be vegan. | ||
| Because you're the leader. | ||
| So the other super jet just said, you're the leader of the revolution. | ||
| So I'll be sitting in the back on a golden throne with an angry scowl on my face. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| You don't want to become the villain though, man. | ||
| No, no, no, hold on, hold on. | ||
| And then there's going to be two pegasi? | ||
| Pegasuses? | ||
| I think that's it, pegasi. | ||
| Pegasi? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they're gonna have, uh, like, uh, you know, harnesses that both go up together, and you're gonna be having one foot on each of them, with a sword in one hand, and you're gonna be riding, and there's gonna be, like, you know, the Valkyrie coming in. | ||
| Awesome. | ||

| Jonathan Young says, I've had recommendations for this channel all day. | ||
| I've never had recommendations for your channel that I can remember. | ||
| Something happened, man. | ||
| Well, we got that checkmark. | ||
| Ooh, magical. | ||
| Yeah, we got a checkmark. | ||
| I wonder if this Joe Rogan thing has spooked YouTube. | ||
| I got you, chat. | ||
| Dude, didn't we just get the checklist the other day? | ||
| Last night. | ||
| And Rogan, that's the same day Rogan made the announcement? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Was it? | |
| Or was it last night? | ||
| No, it might have been two nights ago. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| We just noticed last night. | ||
| We're like, wait a minute, what? | ||
| Somebody said, whoa, did they just get that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Around the same time, all I can say is Rogan announces a Spotify thing. | ||
| They want to make it official. | ||
| You guys are official. | ||
| Imagine this. | ||
| Don't leave us. | ||
| Imagine like you're watching a movie and it starts with a guy and you see him at a phone booth. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Phone booths exist. | ||
| And then he hangs up and he goes, my God, And then he's running and he's got like manila folders and he's wearing like a blue button up with a tie. | ||
| Papers are flying out. | ||
| And he's running as fast as he can. | ||
| And then it's like the scene change shows him. | ||
| He runs in the building, he storms in. | ||
| He runs to the elevator, he hits the button. | ||
| And then he's like, which floor is Susan at? | ||
| And they're like, what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Susan, which floor? | |
| And they're like, 17! | ||
| And he's like, just hitting the button. | ||
| He gets up and he runs and he slams a thing down. | ||
| It's a newspaper and it says, Rogan to Spotify. | ||
| And she goes, how much time do we have? | ||
| And he's like, I don't know. | ||
| Months? | ||
| And then she goes, Verify as many commentary channels as you can. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| If only. | ||
| Although there was a missed opportunity there with the elevator music. | ||
| I was expecting a little break of maybe a little Spanish Flea or something. | ||

Nice. | |
| So my phone doesn't have Face ID. | ||
| Thanks for the super chat. | ||
| Michelle Mybel says, looking at my 13.5 update and it does say COVID-19 contact tracing. | ||
| And now the face ID will know what you look like. | ||
| Oh, so my phone doesn't have face ID. | ||
| My phone is just prior. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| I love my phone! | ||

It's time to downgrade. | |
| Or stay where my phone is. | ||
| You're good. | ||
| You're gonna last me forever. | ||
| I mean, I'm good. | ||
| They send me ads all the time like, get the new phone! | ||
| And I'm like, why? | ||
| My phone's great. | ||
| I'm good. | ||
| I don't need a new phone. | ||
| James Wallace says, Tim and Adam and Lydia, does a VPN block the new iOS tracking app asking for a friend? | ||
| I hope so. | ||
| For your friend. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I doubt it though, yeah. | ||
| If you used a VPN, what it basically does is it sends your data through an encrypted tunnel before reaching the web. | ||
| So it gives you a shield. | ||
| It can help anonymize your data. | ||
| But if they know your device's information, it doesn't matter if it goes through a tunnel to the internet. | ||
| They know your device, they know where it is. | ||
| You're still getting a phone signal from somewhere to that point. | ||
| Yeah. | ||

| Ryan says, yay, Adam Kass has returned. | ||
| Oh, this is right around the time I was like, my phone rang, and it said Joe Rogan. | ||
| You were like, peace! | ||
| I was almost going to not answer, because I was like... No, it's Joe Rogan. | ||
| You've got to answer, Joe Rogan. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| Yes, yes, yes, yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Yes. | ||
| We're doing a show. | ||
| We're doing a show. | ||
| We are at work. | ||
| How unprofessional of you. | ||
| And it rang, and I had to think, Am I going to jump off this show where we've got all these people watching, relying on... There was like 17,000 people at that point. | ||
| I know. | ||
| And my phone rang and I was like, take the Super Chats because... I'm surprised a lot of people, there was a big jump or drop there, but people knew you were waiting for, like you were trying to listen to Joe and talk to him. | ||
| You didn't say it. | ||
| I actually said it, but yeah, you know, it was like, obviously it was Joe Rogan. | ||
| Should we wait for me to come back? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then we found the, we got the inside scoop. | ||
| Yeah, it was cool. | ||
| It's not that exciting. | ||
| Life's never that exciting, you know. | ||
| I always tell people... Life is exciting. | ||
| Let's make it exciting. | ||
| What did I do? | ||
| I took George Carlin's saying. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Think about how stupid the average person is. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And what I said on the show before was, think about how boring life is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Now realized half of the news stories have been sensationalized and it's even more boring than you realize. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's kind of exciting. | ||
| All right. | ||

Yeah. | |
| Sarah Hill says, does China own YouTube? | ||
| The censorship and manipulation of search results seems to lead to such a conclusion. | ||
| They just need healthy competition. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Yeah, who knows? | ||
| Deplorable Pirate Captain Gunbeard. | ||
| A point no one has mentioned. | ||
| The longer blue states stay locked down, the more wealth and power transfer to red states. | ||
| This is what I don't understand. | ||
| They're propping up the red states? | ||
| Yeah, someone pointed this out in Super Chats earlier. | ||
| They're like, how are all the tax revenue from businesses? | ||
| They're gonna lose that. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Don't they realize that? | ||
| They're demanding a bailout from the federal government. | ||
| Where's that money coming from? | ||
| Trump said no. | ||
| That's also taxes! | ||
| Like, it's a circular system. | ||
| Like, what? | ||
| It doesn't make sense. | ||
| The red states are going to come out of this clean and prosperous. | ||
| Yes, they are. | ||
| That's crazy, man. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Poma says, guys, why are you so optimistic and overconfident about all this Rogan leaving stuff? | ||
| Even Joe's nine million audience is just a range up in an ocean of active users on this cursed platform. | ||
| YouTube is no longer interested in independent creators, even the biggest ones. | ||
| I think we kind of answered that already. | ||
| It's the spirit of competition. | ||
| Competition breeds development. | ||
| Look at just technology in general. | ||
| We were talking about, I think yesterday, Europe had competition over land, so they advanced so much faster technologically. | ||
| Versus the Americas, they just moved. | ||
| There was so much land, they just kept moving around. | ||
| You could see the spike. | ||
| In the animal kingdom, the more freedom of movement an animal has, the less likely it is to be aggressive. | ||
| So birds don't fight for the most part, they just leave. | ||
| Yeah, just fly away. | ||
| But badgers are aggressive because they're burrow animals, so when they get into a conflict, they have one direction they can move. | ||
| So they'll fight you. | ||
| It's ingrained. | ||
| I'm optimistic. | ||
| I am too. | ||
| I think now it's going to come to a point, like we mentioned earlier, where YouTube is only weighing the negative press. | ||
| Hey, we're going to lose money from this. | ||
| Now they're going to have to weigh, we're going to lose money, Spotify's going to take it from us, and then they're going to beat us to the finish line. | ||
| And Spotify's going to get more powerful, more popular. | ||
| They don't want that. | ||
| And it's not even about independent creators, because I agree, YouTube doesn't really care, but it's going to be, look, Joe Rogan may be independent, but he's a world-famous comedian. | ||
| Imagine if, you know, Netflix is trying to buy these world-famous comedians. | ||
| Do a special, we'll give you all this money, like, you know, Dave Chappelle got a ridiculous amount of money for his special. | ||
| He did like, you know, I think, I don't know how many specials, he had three? | ||
| It was like three, yeah, I think. | ||
| And so now YouTube can't get access to that. | ||
| YouTube wants to be Netflix. | ||
| I know because a Google employee told me this to my face. | ||
| I was in the Google HQ several years ago. | ||
| And they said, our main competition is Netflix. | ||
| We are losing views to Netflix. | ||
| They want Netflix. | ||
| That makes sense, yeah. | ||
| So they have an opportunity. | ||
| But, if they start censoring their independent creators, and Joe Rogan, who they want because they want to be Netflix, decides to leave because of it, then they have to do right by the smaller creators. | ||
| We'll see, we'll see. | ||
| Steve Fernald says, do any of you grow your own vegetables? | ||
| Hot peppers? | ||
| Yeah, we do. | ||
| We are growing our own vegetables right now. | ||
| We have a whole little garden. | ||

Radishes. | |
| We have tomatoes. | ||

| We have carrots, I have peas, and we have potatoes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| I would like to do peppers, too, though. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That'd be fun. | |
| And onions. | ||
| We've got some onions going. | ||
| Yeah, we've got green onions, yeah. | ||
| We did have a bunch of peppers, and then someone tried to pickle them, and they pickled them improperly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||

| I'm gonna take a quick stop and say, if you haven't already, make sure you're following me on Instagram and Twitter for, you know, my usual shenanigans. | ||
| But follow Adam as well, at Adam Krigler, because you can send him story ideas and requests, and then we actually pick them up for the show. | ||
| So, again, at Adam Krigler, at Timcast, and then you can follow at Sour Patch Lids. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| With an Y. It's right there. | ||
| Sour Patch Lids. | ||
| And, uh, smash that like button. | ||

|
Smash it! | |
| Smash it! | ||
| Gently. | ||
| It does help. | ||
| If things are going to start improving on this network, on YouTube, if things are getting better, then hopefully the likes really do help. | ||
| I think they do. | ||
| But more importantly, shares. | ||
| Yeah, please share. | ||
| You can censor somebody all you want, but if YouTube's trying to shadowban, and people are sharing that link, that's what I asked for when my video got shadowbanned. | ||
| I said, just share this video, don't let them do it. | ||
| It worked. | ||
| Dion says, which one would you pick? | ||
| If you could ride a dinosaur, a triceratops, or a tamed raptor? | ||
| were like share this video awesome right on Dion says which which one would you | ||
| pick if you could ride a dinosaur a triceratops or a tamed raptor | ||
| triceratops um raptors are the size of chickens I believe oh they're that small | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're tiny. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| I'm pretty sure raptors are tiny. | ||
| Triceratops though. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I also think they're from dramatically different time periods too. | ||
| Oh yeah? | ||
| Like tens of millions of years apart. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| I don't know enough about dinosaurs I guess. | ||
| Sorry I ruined your fun joke. | ||

| Angel Rodriguez says, Adam, the Star Wars edits are from George Lucas. | ||
| He edited the movie to be different multiple times. | ||
| There are multiple versions of the first Star Wars, and we getting the mythical Soi Bowie tomorrow. | ||
| Mythical Soi Bowie? | ||
| What is that? | ||
| I don't know what that is, but... David Bowie? | ||
| David Bowie version? | ||
| Yes, I know who David Bowie is, but... You remember? | ||
| They sent a picture of David Bowie wearing a dress? | ||
| Huh. | ||
| Oh, oh, bringing back to the dress. | ||
| Oh, yes. | ||
| Oh, now it makes sense. | ||
| Yeah, there you go. | ||
| You guys are going to have to start a petition for that. | ||
| That's going to be at least half a million dollars, I think, don't you? | ||
| No, no, probably not that much. | ||
| I'll wear a dress for $100,000. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think we're going to have to speed things up, man. | |
| Oh wow, we're already over $15,000. | ||
| I mean, this was a huge show. | ||
| I really appreciate everyone showing up today. | ||
| Thank you guys. | ||
| But we're going to have to skip your Super Chats. | ||
| Unfortunately, if you're under a certain amount, we're going to move it along. | ||
| I will be the first to say I'm sorry we do it this way, but it's kind of like the easiest and only way to really get through it. | ||
| Yeah, sorry everybody. | ||
| But we get to a certain point, and I think it's around like once there's about 8,000 concurrent viewers, the live streams come in faster than we can actually read and comment on them. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And what ends up happening is we just speed read everything, and it's just not even worth it. | ||
| So the easiest way to actually deal with it is I just start going for things that are 10 or more, and then if people actually start spending more, it's like the same problem. | ||
| There's some hefty superchats, so we gotta get to those for sure. | ||
| I don't want to take away someone's right to speak simply because they weren't giving us all that money, you know what I mean? | ||
| True. | ||
| No, you're right. | ||
| I hate how the system works, but the unfortunate reality is you guys, we just get too many, and we would not be able to read them in time. | ||
| I did like a four-hour livestream once because they were coming in too much, and I was like, I'm gonna read them all. | ||
| And then eventually it got late in the night, and the views went down, and then I was like, okay, okay, I made it through. | ||
| But we're going to speed up now, so I apologize to you guys for your superchats that we don't get to. | ||
| Ellen Jones says, Tim and Alex are also Steven Crowder adjacent. | ||
| What would the odds be of Tim being on Alex's show as a guest, or vice versa? | ||
| Because I won't travel, probably not in studio or anything like that, but I did go on InfoWars a while ago, several years ago. | ||
| Oh, cool. | ||
| Philip, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Scientist Salarian says, you guys ever listen to the band TV on the radio? | ||
| Check out the albums Dear Science and Return to Cookie Mountain and songs DMZ, Wolf Like Me, and so many more. | ||
| They are for rocking black dudes. | ||
| I like that band. | ||
| They're good. | ||
| Isn't Alabama muggy also, though? | ||
| I would love to be more involved in science and space and stuff. | ||
| Alabama youthful vibe cool music scene lots of engineer science tech folks because of NASA and redstone arsenal | ||
| cost-effective land building is easy It's a cool place isn't Alabama muggy also though | ||
| Yeah But that actually does sound like a good idea would be cool | ||
| to be really close to NASA Engineers because we could do crazy stuff like I want to do | ||
| a channel. I would love to be more Here's my idea science and space and stuff. I have an idea | ||
| stuff. I have an idea. Do you have an idea? | ||
| I have an idea. | ||
| Just one idea? | ||
| One. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And if you guys want to steal this idea, okay, make sure you do this under the supervision of professionals, and I recommend only engineers, so do not do this at home, but here's my idea. | ||
| We take objects, and we electrocute them, but the voltage or whatever is determined by the amount of | ||
| viewers or likes or shares or something. | ||
| So basically you have like a thousand viewers, you're getting a certain amount of volts going | ||
| through the object and then people watch and then over time they're going to be like, | ||
| share this we need to get more viewers, we need to get more viewers, and then you end up with like... | ||
| I think that's a good idea that we should probably do. | ||
| Short circuit the block. | ||
| That sounds like fun. | ||
| So there's challenges with like power consumption. | ||
| Do not do this at home! | ||
| Unless you're a professional. | ||
| But then you'd eventually get to the point where like the watermelon like you've got like you know it's electric and then blows up. | ||
| And the first show will be a watermelon that will be electrifying. | ||
| Yeah yeah. | ||
| Fried watermelon. | ||
| You know I got the idea because of the hydraulic press channel. | ||
| And I'm like what are other things you could do that people like there's the flaming hot nickel ball where they torches it and they put it on something. | ||
| There's a hydraulic press and I'm like well what happens when you electrocute stuff? | ||
| All right. | ||
| Sounds good. | ||
| I'm not an electrical engineer. | ||
| I don't know much about voltage and amperage and all that stuff, but you'd see the numbers and then, you know, it'd be fun. | ||
| Cool. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I like it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let's see here. | ||
| Awful Mongolian says, NCFTW. | ||
| Also, don't cough on me. | ||
| I won't. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Steven Mitchell says, in your guys' move to the center, have you considered doing segments on you learning about firearms, the ridiculousness of the laws around them, and MSM misinformation campaigns about them? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But I've read a decent amount of these for a while. | ||
| And that's why I've always been rather tepid on my positions, having to deal with them. | ||
| Like, I actually went to a police academy training and asked them about it. | ||
| And interestingly, in Jersey, the trainers were, like, legit experts. | ||
| And they were for reforms. | ||
| A lot of them. | ||
| They said the problem is a lack of uniformity. | ||
| So people can get in trouble if they don't realize traveling through a certain area. | ||
| They mentioned there's another problem with the lack of uniformity is that you can go to one state, you live there, get a weapon, and easily bring it to another state, which criminals do. | ||
| So they were like, the restrictions we need are the ones we don't have, and the restrictions we have are the ones we don't need. | ||
| And I was like, that's interesting, I don't know. | ||
| But that's just, you know, to get into the specifics of it. | ||
| Let's see, what's next? | ||
| Tony L says, find your own path. | ||
| Is too broad as philosophy IMO? | ||
| Erwin S. says, organic life wouldn't be harmed if you're manipulating gravity. | ||
| Beings inside the craft wouldn't be affected. | ||
| Bob Lazar explains this crystal clear. | ||
| Is that what you guys are talking about, spaceships? | ||
| Yeah, someone asked about organic matter or organic life in a UFO that can stop on a dime, travel, and the G's force would kill organic life. | ||
| And so that's what they were just explaining. | ||
| But if it was manipulating space, you wouldn't feel anything. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Your space is static and you're moving in between. | ||
| Pablo D. Sanchez says, Have you heard about New Zealand's COVID-19 Public Health Response Act 2020? | ||
| It gives police constables the authority to force their way into your home without a warrant or ID if they're in uniform. | ||
| Gotta love it, huh? | ||
| Logan Howard says, Guild just got Thunderfury. | ||
| Love the show. | ||
| Keep it up. | ||
| In classic? | ||
| Got a Thunderfury? | ||
| That's legit! | ||
| You know what Thunder Fury is? | ||
| No. | ||
| I think there were three legendary and classic. | ||
| Three legendary items that were like really, really hard to get. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And Thunder Fury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker. | ||
| I think that's it. | ||
| And then there was, what was it? | ||
| Sulfuros. | ||
| And there was that staff, I think. | ||
| Cool. | ||

| If someone hit me up and they were on board, I'd be like, for sure. | ||
| It would be really funny with Alex Jones and James O'Keefe on it. | ||
| I mean, all of them actually, it would be a really interesting conversation. | ||

| I wanted to change up my diet and wanted to know if you had any good vegan recipes to try out. | ||
| You know, I only have one. | ||
| It's kind of one of my go-tos. | ||
| I actually just made it earlier today. | ||
| It's kind of like, I like making big huge pots of stuff, you know, so you don't have to cook often. | ||
| You can just kind of, I like eating it cold. | ||
| It's a pasta salad. | ||
| It's pasta. | ||
| There's like three or four different types of beans. | ||
| You should get mushrooms, some yellow peppers, green peppers, chop those up. | ||
| So it's all kind of the same consistency. | ||
| The yellow peppers, green peppers add like a nice crisp to it and then you just put it all together and There's this, I don't know the brand, but it's a vegan honey mustard sauce. | ||
| And I just dump it in there. | ||
| I think it's actually a salad dressing, but I don't care. | ||
| I just, I dump it in there and I just mix it all up this huge medley. | ||
| Sometimes I get some vegan sausage also and slice that really, really small, toss it in there. | ||
| It's really good, really good cold. | ||
| So you can just make a big, huge batch and it's got lots of good stuff in it. | ||
| So yeah. | ||
| Sweet. | ||
| That's my go-to. | ||
| Let's see, where are we at? | ||
| Adventurer says, Georgia number one, Hartsfield International, Southern Hollywood, relative freedom, a lot of mining towns that need help, the Appalachian Trail, and by far the best, I will let you pet my Burmese mountain dog pup. | ||
