When I used to play Tony Hawk 2, they have that song, Bring the Noise. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And we were literally just before going live, like rap, because like we, you know, one of the lines was like, here we go. | ||
It's like how it opens. | ||
unidentified
|
Here we go again! | |
Turn it up! | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Bring the noise! | |
The song's actually really, really bad, especially in today's context. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Because there's a line in it about Farrakhan being a prophet and like, oof, you got to listen to him and stuff. | ||
So I was like, you know, it's funny watching, you know, playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. | ||
I wonder if they're going to get that song back in the original soundtrack. | ||
Probably. | ||
Yeah, probably. | ||
They probably have the rights for it still. | ||
For those that aren't familiar, Tony Hawk is doing a remaster of the game. | ||
It's gonna be, I pre-ordered it, I'm excited for it, but then I was just like, we're singing the song, and I'm like, yeah, that song's actually really bad, you know what, I don't wanna sing those lyrics anymore, man. | ||
Wait a minute. | ||
But hey, hey, hey, you know what? | ||
What's year zero? | ||
That's like when you erase the culture. | ||
Yep, that was a Cambodian thing. | ||
Year zero! | ||
Welcome to year zero, brothers. | ||
So, George Washington has been cancelled. | ||
I'm a year zero denier. | ||
Okay, alright, we'll get into that. | ||
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and you actually have Democrats in the New York City Council. | ||
I guess they're voting to remove, they want to remove Thomas Jefferson from the New York City Council Chamber, I guess. | ||
Thomas Jefferson, the drafter of the Declaration of Independence, the principal author, founding father, U.S. | ||
President, and George Washington now. | ||
They threw an American flag over George Washington's head and lit it on fire. | ||
You know what, man? | ||
I'm just gonna say it. | ||
I'm gonna be bold. | ||
Are you jumping off the fence right now? | ||
Not really. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, let's hear what you have to say. | |
They're attacking the United States. | ||
They're literally doing it. | ||
It's not a policy position or opinion. | ||
unidentified
|
It's happening. | |
They're attacking our history. | ||
They're lying. | ||
Basically, we let a fox in the henhouse, man. | ||
And now you've got people who work in our institutions, people who hate this country. | ||
And they've been teaching our kids, and they've created a whole generation of whiny, pathetic losers. | ||
Yep. | ||
The millennial generation is garbage, for the most part, as far as I'm concerned. | ||
I'm a millennial. | ||
Cancel participation trophies. | ||
Cancel them. | ||
Get rid of them. | ||
So we actually have a good smooth transition for all of you. | ||
I hope you like your transition smooth. | ||
We got the George Washington statue story. | ||
Smooth like some good whiskey. | ||
Interestingly enough, man, I'm ashamed to say it, France Macron. | ||
unidentified
|
Macron was like, you will not tear down these statues. | |
Just like that. | ||
Not bad. | ||
Just like that. | ||
Not bad. | ||
I don't know why he said it. | ||
He just did. | ||
It's like the French thing, I guess. | ||
When did we become weaker than the French? | ||
Over the past 10 years. | ||
I'll tell you what. | ||
First, with all due respect, France was one of the most powerful empires in the world for a long time. | ||
The Napoleonic Wars, they get credit for this stuff. | ||
But after they got ravaged by World War I, they kind of just fell over sideways. | ||
Cheese-eating surrender monkeys. | ||
And yet, here we go. | ||
And now all of a sudden, we stormed the beaches of Normandy and we're like, don't worry France, we got you. | ||
Now admittedly, the resistance in France, they were pretty epic. | ||
unidentified
|
But still. | |
Hey, so yeah, they helped us win the Revolutionary War, too. | ||
So we owe them a huge favor. | ||
For sure, man. | ||
I dig France. | ||
I dig France. | ||
I'm just saying. | ||
I'm just saying. | ||
Look, look. | ||
Forgive me. | ||
But America. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
How is France? | ||
Careful, Tim. | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
Careful, Tim. | ||
You might get canceled for just being American now. | ||
Being patriotic? | ||
Yeah, for sure, dude. | ||
I don't know, man. | ||
Man, so we have a bunch of stories. | ||
So it's this, we have France. | ||
Now we're getting into the craziest territory. | ||
They fired the mom, the stepmom of the officer in Atlanta. | ||
That's Soviet level. | ||
That's like North Korea. | ||
It's like, well, you committed a crime, so your mom is going to jail. | ||
Well, she just got fired. | ||
She's not going to jail for anything. | ||
I'm talking about the Soviets, what they would do. | ||
The extreme of it, yeah. | ||
Well, we're getting there. | ||
It seems like it, my goodness. | ||
Literally, it's like, I'm sorry, but your son is hated, so you're fired. | ||
It's not gonna be the first, it's gonna be the last, because... Well, I think that Teresa Nielsen is even worse. | ||
Well, so put a pin in that. | ||
We had that story of the NASCAR driver whose dad said the N-word in the 80s. | ||
Before he was born. | ||
Before he was even born. | ||
So they stripped him of his sponsorship. | ||
Welcome to the dark world. | ||
I don't know what you call it. | ||
But yeah, Teresa Nielsen. | ||
So this is an artist. | ||
This is amazing. | ||
Magic the Gathering is doing a culture revolution purge, man. | ||
It's insane. | ||
She's an artist from going back to, I think, 1997. | ||
Some of the best, if not the best art on Magic Arts. | ||
Her art is incredible. | ||
Some of my favorite Magic Arts were from Therese Nielsen, seriously. | ||
And you listening, you're not going to be able to guess what she did to get fired. | ||
You ready for this? | ||
She followed Mike Cernovich. | ||
Yep. | ||
That's it? | ||
Mind blown. | ||
There's a few others that she followed. | ||
Jack Vosobic. | ||
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
Whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
InfoWars, I think. | ||
And InfoWars, yep. | ||
Those are the three people that they... Look, you follow these three people, we gotta let you go. | ||
The crazy thing about it is there are a bunch of far-left activists who follow them as well. | ||
They're priests, they're allowed to do it. | ||
Only we can distill the knowledge to you. | ||
You can't actually look at what Mike Cernovich says, otherwise you'll be banned and fired and kicked out. | ||
That's how they bottleneck information. | ||
So when Cernovich comes out and says something like, I think Cernovich has called for universal health care in the past. | ||
I don't want to misquote him, so I could be wrong about that, but he's had some progressive | ||
positions and he explained it. | ||
They don't want you to know that because he needs to be the boogeyman. | ||
And not so much him anymore. | ||
It's kind of weird they still bring him up. | ||
It's like they've tried. | ||
It just doesn't really stick. | ||
I mean, there are other people. | ||
But yeah, they made the announcement that she'll no longer. | ||
She's got some art coming out and that's it. | ||
Her terminated because Twitter users got mad. | ||
They found out she followed these people. | ||
So you know what, man? | ||
We're gonna top it all off with the best of the best. | ||
Gen Z is dragging millennials for being pathetic. | ||
As they should. | ||
And they're correct. | ||
100%. | ||
Kids, you Gen Zers, we are in complete agreement. | ||
My generation is trash. | ||
We talked about what a millennial is in the show, I think last week. | ||
And after that show, someone hit me up and they were like, you know what? | ||
I wanted to let you know, Adam, you're not a millennial. | ||
unidentified
|
And I was like, That's the best news I've had all day! | |
Amazing! | ||
unidentified
|
Why? | |
Do tell me. | ||
And they were like, it's not just years. | ||
It's a state of mind. | ||
And the year thing is so flexible. | ||
They keep pushing it back in the 80s. | ||
But it's like, you can push it the other way too. | ||
Sorry. | ||
You can push both ways. | ||
Playing tug of war. | ||
I'm not a millennial. | ||
I'm not either then. | ||
I don't feel I am. | ||
I think Millennials suck. | ||
I think they're entitled. | ||
They have no idea what they have. | ||
They screech. | ||
None of us here fit the stereotype of what the Gen Zers say. | ||
Like, they think Harry Potter is a personality trait. | ||
You've never actually even read it. | ||
I've never- I don't know what Harry Potter's like. | ||
I know he's got a Z on his... Or a lightning bolt. | ||
Is a lightning bolt okay? | ||
One of the funniest things was that, I'm pretty sure it was Gen Z saying this a few years ago, like these younger kids pointing out, that all of these protests, these people were making Harry Potter protest signs. | ||
They were saying things like Trump is Voldemort. | ||
And it's like, is that it? | ||
Is that all you get? | ||
You've read one book? | ||
Read a different book, dude. | ||
Yes, please. | ||
It's the only book they've read. | ||
Read some real stuff. | ||
Watch some documentaries. | ||
Dude, I watched some of these TikToks from Gen Z Mocking Millennials. | ||
Nailed it. | ||
Completely nailed it. | ||
And the funny thing is, I was like, I tweeted this, I'm like, you realize they're not talking about conservatives. | ||
Conservative millennials are posting frog memes. | ||
Yeah. | ||
They're not getting mocked. | ||
Gen Z isn't mocking people for their frog memes. | ||
No. | ||
No, they're mocking people for their avocado toast coffee and complaining because someone called them a naughty word on the internet. | ||
Now, avocado toast is pretty delicious, but I'm pretty sure everyone can agree avocado toast is pretty good. | ||
Avocados are great, but it's like this stereotypical hipster urban millennial thing. | ||
But when you eat it every single day, and you start whining, and you know, $12 or $15 on avocado toast. | ||
If you're not making it yourself, you're a millennial. | ||
Have you seen the deconstructed trend? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh my gosh. | |
No, what's this? | ||
So it's like a hipster thing where you go to the restaurant and you'll be like, I'll have the deconstructed, you know, omelette. | ||
Oh my God. | ||
And it's a tortilla. | ||
It's like, they just don't make it. | ||
They just leave it. | ||
So you can get deconstructed sandwiches and it's literally just, they give you the ingredients. | ||
unidentified
|
Piled stuff. | |
Yep. | ||
Here you go, sir. | ||
That'll be $30, please. | ||
Yes, exactly. | ||
There's also a subreddit called We Want Plates. | ||
Okay. | ||
And it's like a hipster restaurant trend of putting things on random objects. | ||
Like wood? | ||
Yeah, like there was one a while ago and I thought it was hilarious because they gave someone like pancakes with syrup, but it was served on a piece of wood. | ||
So the syrup is pouring off onto the table. | ||
And they're like, there's a reason plates are kind of, you know, concave. | ||
So that it stays in. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Dude, I think, you know, the 80s were a crazy time. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Whenever I look back to the 80s, that was like the Gen Xers when they were like young or coming in their teens. | ||
You know what? | ||
Yeah, go ahead. | ||
I was gonna say like people wore like skin tight hot pants with like hot pink leopard print while roller skating. | ||
And it was a weird thing, but I'll tell you what, that was a million times cooler than whatever his millennials are doing. | ||
Seriously. | ||
I think it's a product of who you grow up around too. | ||
I have a lot of cousins, like, A lot. | ||
I have like over 40 cousins. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
A lot of cousins. | ||
All on my dad's side alone. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Um, so big family, but I had a lot, I had a lot of older cousins. | ||
So growing up in the eighties, I was surrounded by my cousins that were six, seven, eight years older than me. | ||
So I was surrounded by that crowd. | ||
I was, I was not necessarily raised, but I was certainly influenced by like the older generation right before me. | ||
So I think that's, that's kind of why I'm like, what are these millennials thinking? | ||
What are they doing? | ||
I don't get it. | ||
You know what I think it is? | ||
I think millennials that the ones that we talk about, they're very active on social media. | ||
They're the members of our generation who are late to the party on the internet. | ||
So I think about, I've been on the internet as long as I've been alive. | ||
My mom had CompuServe through DOS. | ||
You remember dial-up, the dial-up sound. | ||
Well yeah, most millennials do though. | ||
Yeah, I do too. | ||
Most millennials do, but now I'm talking about DOS shell. | ||
You know what DOS shell is? | ||
When it's just a blinking dot and you have to like alt text everything? | ||
Well the shell was actually one step beyond the blinking dot. | ||
Really? | ||
So, you had the command prompt, which is the first computers we had, and you went online through typing in, you know, going to CompuServe. | ||
And then DOS Shell gave you a sort of graphical interface where you could see the list and press down and highlight them and press enter. | ||
And I had all the old school games on DOS. | ||
And then we finally, I remember getting Windows 3.1. | ||
So we've had the internet forever. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And I've always been online. | ||
And then, you know, it started with chat rooms and then social media emerged. | ||
AOL. | ||
So I think, you know, for sure, yeah, AOL AIM. | ||
AOL chat rooms. | ||
The people that I know who were on the internet very early are all about the spicy memes. | ||
They're all about pranks and silliness and just jokes. | ||
And the people I know who weren't because they were like, their parents made them go to soccer practice or whatever. | ||
And they were like growing up in the suburbs too, like, you know, they weren't online. | ||
So when they finally got online, they were just like, it was like being injected straight into their veins and they had no tolerance for it. | ||
And they went insane. | ||
Well, the difference is, like, when you get made fun of in school, you know, there's, like, a social aspect that you're used to in reality, like, not in the internet world, in the internet realm. | ||
You know, you can feel the nuance of everything. | ||
You could talk about it with your friends, because they saw it, and they're like, oh, man, don't worry, that guy was an a-hole. | ||
Like, we got you. | ||
But on the internet, you're on your own. | ||
You're paddling in this huge ocean of nothingness, and it's like, If that's all you know, and you haven't gotten thick skin from some real reality interactions with bullies, because they're out there. | ||
They exist. | ||
And on the internet, every bully sees you. | ||
unidentified
|
All the bullies are like, it's a small fish! | |
Eat! | ||
It's time to consume! | ||
I can see it. | ||
If you don't know what you're going in, you're going in blind. | ||
You're going to get eaten. | ||
It's a delirium. | ||
It's a psychosis. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So there's two big ideas that are kind of bubbling up right now about what's wrong with these millennials and what's going on with social media. | ||
Brett Weinstein talked about this on Twitter and then on the Joe Rogan podcast that the Chinese interrogation techniques to break an American soldier was really, really brilliant. | ||
They used really low-level incremental tactics. | ||
The general idea being Get someone to admit in writing, they have to write it themselves, something seemingly innocuous that's negative about their position. | ||
So the first thing the Chinese would do would say, they would say, okay, if you want food, we want you to write, America is not perfect. | ||
And everyone would be like, of course it's not. | ||
That's reasonable, okay, and they'd write it. | ||
And then from there, you can increment them slowly into writing more and more bad things. | ||
Now what they would do is they would give them a very tiny reward. | ||
The reason was, if they gave them a really big reward, like a big meal, then the person could rationalize it, I lied in order to get a big reward. | ||
Giving them a small reward, the person could write something bad about the United States, and they couldn't justify it because the reward wasn't really worth it, but they did want that little piece of fruit or something, right? | ||
Yeah, if they're starving, I mean. | ||
So this is one of the things that Brett was talking about. | ||
You take that idea, put it on the internet, and you have this willful drive towards doing this thing. | ||
But I wonder how much China might actually be involved in running bot accounts to nudge people, to make them write these things. | ||
But think about it. | ||
These people keep one-upping themselves, writing crazier and crazier things, thinking it's reasonable, because they're getting a tiny reward. | ||
It's not that big of a deal. | ||
It's a few likes, a few retweets. | ||
So every day they one-up it. | ||
And now they've driven themselves insane. | ||
The other thing that's been going around, someone sent me this, that there's a dopamine addiction stimulant. | ||
It's a social media stimulant effect, where every time you check your phone, you get a dopamine hit. | ||
Especially when they smash the like button! | ||
unidentified
|
Smash, smash, smash! | |
That's a good thing to know. | ||
It's a bad thing. | ||
But it is, too. | ||
No, I'm dead serious. | ||
They like my post! | ||
unidentified
|
A thousand people like my post! | |
Think about how we quantify how many viewers we have, how many likes we have, how many superchats. | ||
And I'll tell you what, man, you can see it in YouTubers when they have low mental fortitude. | ||
And it's most of them. | ||
It's almost all of them, to be honest. | ||
Wait till some YouTuber has a breakdown where they're like, I just don't know if I keep doing this bad. | ||
And then look at their view count. | ||
And their view count the days before will be in a downward slope. | ||
So what happens is they'll work really hard. | ||
They'll make a video. | ||
They'll get a million views. | ||
The next day, 700,000. | ||
The next day, 500. | ||
And then by day three, they're at 400. | ||
And the next day, they're like, I'm quitting. | ||
I can't do this anymore. | ||
And they talk about all these things that have nothing to do with what's really happening. | ||
They're not getting the dopamine hit. | ||
Their addiction is not getting satisfied. | ||
Exactly. | ||
But here's what they ended up saying in this thread that I was sent. | ||
When these people, these millennial social justice types, open up their phone to get that hit of dopamine, they need to put out a tweet that's going to give them those clicks, that attention, those likes. | ||
So they're one-upping themselves. | ||
And now this comes into the Chinese manipulation technique. | ||
But every time they open up their phone and do it, two things are happening. | ||
One, they're radicalizing themselves. | ||
Two, they're building their addiction. | ||
And so the delirium idea is going around. | ||
I don't call it a theory because I don't know if these people are doctors, is that when you're on stimulants nonstop, it really fries your brain and builds up aggression and intolerance. | ||
Well, yeah, there's literally a tolerance to any kind of drug. | ||
I think you can have dopamine exhaustion, like you can just get too much and then you're like completely like numb to it. | ||
So I wonder if that's part of what's happening. | ||
Well, what they were saying is that basically it's a psychosis. | ||
When you do stimulants too often all the time, and you get so much dopamine released, you start going insane. | ||
Well, then you think about the average diet, you know? | ||
Like, how much sugar the average, you know, person consumes. | ||
It's like, sugar is the same thing. | ||
It's a reward system that like, ooh, let me have a treat and something sugary, you know? | ||
And the brain gets like, ooh, yeah, that was a reward, you know? | ||
Ooh, I got likes. | ||
It's the same thing. | ||
So I did a segment the other day about this woman who firebombed some Philadelphia police vehicles. | ||
Okay. | ||
FBI caught her. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Because she's a moron. | ||
Oh, I saw this. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
Through Etsy, right? | ||
Through Etsy and her tattoo. | ||
Through Etsy. | ||
Okay. | ||
So she was wearing a shirt that said something like, keep the immigrants, deport the racists. | ||
Okay. | ||
So they did a search for the shirt, found out that it was fairly unique, found a review on the seller with this person's name, then they tracked the person, found photos, eventually found a photo with the tattoo, and they're like, boom, we got her. | ||
What's amazing about that is that I am unimpressed with the FBI's ability to do that, because I've been doing that since the inception of the internet. | ||
Seriously. | ||
That's a good point. | ||
When I worked for Vice, I would show people how to do basic internet investigations and sleuthing. | ||
I used to do this trick where whenever I would meet someone and we were doing some kind of business deal, I would ask them their name. | ||
And then while they were talking, I would pull up all their private information. | ||
I would dox them in real time. | ||
And then what I would say is this. | ||
After they talked and introduced themselves, I'd be like, right on, right on, man. | ||
Well, hey, I'll tell you what, tonight we have a party. | ||
I don't know if you want to come. | ||
You have time? | ||
It's not gonna be too crazy. | ||
It's gonna be kind of a get together. | ||
And they go, yeah, where's it at? | ||
And I'll be like, 123 Fake Street in North Hollywood, California. | ||
And they go, what? | ||
And then I'll be like, yeah, that's where the party's at. | ||
And they'll be like, that's my address. | ||
And I'll be like, I know it is. | ||
unidentified
|
And they're like, what? | |
You creeper! | ||
It's kind of like to show you. | ||
But this was particularly when I was doing more programming stuff. | ||
That's a little creepy, though. | ||
Oh, totally, absolutely. | ||
unidentified
|
It was funny. | |
But this was back when I was hanging out at Hackerspaces. | ||
Lydia agrees. | ||
Yeah, that's a little creepy. | ||
Well, when I first started talking to Tim, he basically did that to me. | ||
Whoa! | ||
He was like, oh, I want to learn all about you. | ||
So he got me talking and I was talking about stuff and he's like, oh, I'm looking you up right now. | ||
And I was like, oh, OK, I guess I'm hired or whatever. | ||
This is back when I used to hang out at hackerspaces. | ||
unidentified
|
OK. | |
And so I'll tell you what, man, these people know what you're thinking. | ||
I'm sure they do. | ||
unidentified
|
Be honest. | |
There was one time where this one guy, we're sitting at a party, And he's talking to a bunch of people, and he points over to a man and a woman, and then he started predicting everything they would do. | ||
And it was perfect. | ||
He would be like, in three seconds, the girl's gonna laugh. | ||
Three, two, and then she laughs, and then we all start laughing. | ||
It was, now the guy's gonna shift his shoulders and turn towards her. | ||
Three, two, and then he does. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Because these guys were social engineers, and he was explaining all of the really obvious stereotypical behaviors these people do. | ||
But anyway, not to get too much into that. | ||
The point I was bringing up is that you have this very predictable behavior with the internet. | ||
You have people who are becoming addicted to getting this hit. | ||
They're literally going insane. | ||
And now to go back to the woman who got caught by the FBI. | ||
She, in the photos they found, was a normal-looking woman. | ||
And I started thinking, I mentioned this in the video, that there's a meme that's called something like, Feminism Not Even Once. | ||
Remember those meth ads? | ||
It was like, methamphetamine, not even once. | ||
No, I don't. | ||
It would show a picture of a regular person, and then it would show them after they were drug addled and messed up and their teeth are gone. | ||
So, people started making memes where it was like, feminism, not even once. | ||
And it shows these people before they go to college, and afterwards, and it is terrifying. | ||
Like de Blasio's daughter? | ||
Yes. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's some big change. | ||
Where they're like, smiling and normal and wearing regular clothes like this, and the next one is their heads are all shaved and they're like, snarling at the camera, like weird, freaky people. | ||
Golems. | ||
Golems yeah, and so you have this this woman with the firebomb. | ||
It's so sad because it's it's I've seen so much of this The the photo they found of her was a normal young woman and the pictures of her in Philadelphia was nightmarish Wow really nappy like smashed dreads Like huge belly and just like hunched over yet. | ||
No dude like 30 or 40 pounds heavier You're being nice And I was like, I'm not saying this to be mean to her, but this looks like a before and after of a drug addict. | ||
And the crazy thing is a lot of these people are, but a lot of them aren't. | ||
It's something happening to them that's transforming their brains into like, it's withering their brain. | ||
I don't think it's just The social justice at the university is like they're being indoctrinated. | ||
I think that plays a role in making them, in radicalizing them. | ||
But I think it has a lot to do with their addiction to social media. | ||
It's almost like... And probably other things. | ||
Someone in the chat just said, it's probably Adderall too. | ||
Yeah, maybe. | ||
I was like, oh, that's a good point. | ||
Or Xanax, yeah. | ||
I know a lot of people that went to college that they're like, I would not have made it through all the studying, staying up all night without whatever they were on. | ||
But I'll tell you what, man, the people I know... So I used to hang out at the Columbia dorms in Chicago, and I knew a lot of regular people. | ||
A lot of them today have gone insane, and are like drug-addled and all that stuff. | ||
And it was because they were taking Adderall, for sure. | ||
Yup, a lot of them were. | ||
But it was because they wanted to do it all. | ||
They wanted to go out and party, and do their homework, instead of being like, I can't go out today guys, I gotta do my homework. | ||
They'd be like, I'll go out, I'll just take a pill. | ||
And then they'd be like, you know what man, it's probably a bit esoteric, but for those of you that are fans of World of Warcraft, it reminds me of the Nightborne elves. | ||
Their story is that they became addicted to a magic well. | ||
And then when the magic's like, long story short, when the magic was taken from them, a bunch of them slowly started to wither and become mindless, like shriveled up and like run around like just brain dead zombies. | ||
Yeah, but it's the same thing for the blood elves too. | ||
That's just a basic idea about drug addiction and withdrawal. | ||
These people have been addicted to the stimulant of social media. | ||
Their brains are hooked to it. | ||
Let me tell you something, bro. | ||
I was working on an app with a buddy of mine years ago. | ||
The idea for the app was whenever you check your time on your phone, whenever you click it to see what time it is, you would be served a news story. | ||
And so, it was a news delivery app for your lock screen. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
And when the idea was brought up to me by my buddy, I said, I mean, that's a cool idea, but don't we already have notifications? | ||
And he was like, yeah, but typically the notifications you get are few and far between. | ||
This is specifically a news story whenever you check your phone. | ||
And I was like, yeah, but come on, what do you check your phone, like two or three times a day? | ||
And he goes, 140. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Is the average? | ||
The average person, it's like 140. | ||
140, wow. | ||
140 times they check their phone. | ||
And he was like, so what we do is, every 10th viewing is an advertisement. | ||
And so then we're getting 14 ads per person per day, and that's huge. | ||
Yeah, that's insane. | ||
And I was like, whoa. | ||
So we ended up making a whole company based on that. | ||
We did our project together, but we never actually had any ads in it. | ||
But him telling me that, like, we looked, it's over, and yep, it's like 140 times per day people will check their phones. | ||
That is an addiction. | ||
Then you throw in what these people on Twitter are doing, and it's really obvious why. | ||
They're addicted. | ||
They need it. | ||
They need those buttons. | ||
They need those likes. | ||
That's true. | ||
So now you have this one dude. | ||
What's his name? | ||
Palmer? | ||
What's his name? | ||
Palmer Report? | ||
Whatever his name is. | ||
Oh, Palmer Report guy. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Literally did a Twitter thread saying it's time to re-educate conservatives. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
Because they're going insane. | ||
They're addicted. | ||
They have a stimulant hooked to their brain. | ||
Wow. | ||
Pinging that dopamine over and over and over again. | ||
And now they're literally going to the point where they're like, burn it all down and lock them in camps. | ||
Because if you want to get the shares, you can't post the same thing you posted yesterday. | ||
That's true. | ||
You gotta one-up yourself over and over and over again. | ||
And now they're at the point of complete absurdity. | ||
Nothing makes sense, everything's breaking down. | ||
You got politicians who are listening to this. | ||
Could you imagine if your politicians were like, I hear what you're saying, homeowner and entrepreneur, but I'm gonna take the advice from that drug addict. | ||
You'd be like, but that person is unwell. | ||
So now you've got 70, it's 2% of the population that are active on Twitter. | ||
unidentified
|
2%? | |
2%. | ||
Right. | ||
Now, 22% of the population has a Twitter account. | ||
Okay. | ||
Think about the 78% of regular people who have nothing to do with Twitter and don't even know what's going on. | ||
That's the people I refer to all the time. | ||
The people who are going to show up to Philly with baseball bats like, don't tear down our statue. | ||
Wait, people are tearing down statues? | ||
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
That's it, we're going out there. | ||
Are they coming to our town? | ||
It's gonna happen. | ||
It's happening already, we're seeing it. | ||
It is, yeah. | ||
So, now we should probably jump over to the actual first segment. | ||
Oh, sure, sure. | ||
It's the perfect chance to... Oh, no, let's just... Don't we have anything brought up about the Gen Z? | ||
I mean... Well, no, no, no. | ||
George Washington being... We'll work through it. | ||
We'll get to the Gen Zs. | ||
The Gen Z stuff is more silly and making fun of avocado toast. | ||
Oh, I know, but I feel like we did a lot of quality talk about that. | ||
I don't want to lose what we've said. | ||
We really have set the groundwork for a lot of that exact conversation that we're gonna have. | ||
But this is the conversation. | ||
This tearing down of statues and the destruction of our history. | ||
I mean, you're right. | ||
It all comes together. | ||
It's all a product of this same thing. | ||
The thing about the article I have on Gen Z is it doesn't talk about addiction at all. | ||
It's literally Gen Z saying millennials are dumb and they read Harry Potter. | ||
So we basically went and did it already. | ||
But I want to read you their actual jokes, but that's supposed to be the cherry on top. | ||
We're going to talk about the serious nature of these people have gone so insane. | ||
Check this out. | ||
You've probably already seen it. | ||
You probably heard a lot about this. | ||
George Washington statue is covered in a burning American flag before being toppled by up to 40 Portland protesters in Oregon. | ||
And I think they got to look at this. | ||
These genocidal colonists. | ||
Yup. | ||
And then, uh, there it is. | ||
F-Cops. | ||
1619 spray-painted on the statue. | ||
Ooh, that makes me mad. | ||
And that's exactly the point. | ||
1619 is fake news. | ||
It's that addiction. | ||
The desperate attempt to get more recognition, to get retweets, to get comments. | ||
Win prizes. | ||
Yeah, win prizes, man. | ||
So the 1619 thing is, they're literally trying to argue that the U.S. | ||
is a slavocracy. | ||
That the country was founded. | ||
Its true inception was 1619 when the first slave came. | ||
And that is such insane BS. | ||
Yep. | ||
Because there's so many points at which you can claim the real country emerged or whatever. | ||
But the founding fathers were, for one, a product of their time. | ||
And many of them opposed it. | ||
That's true. | ||
I think many of them didn't do enough and they compromised for sure. | ||
And there's no defense for slavery. | ||
But they laid the groundwork for something important that helped get rid of this. | ||
And then there were a bunch of really famous abolitionists who used that framework to win and justify their positions. | ||
But the issue here with George Washington being toppled over is that I think With this addiction, we've... I think it was Jordan Peterson who pointed this out. | ||
We know when the right goes too far. | ||
We don't have a point at which the left has gone too far. | ||
And it seems like they're trying to find that. | ||
I mean, this is it, man! | ||
Yeah, I think we've reached it. | ||
I agree. | ||
This is insane. | ||
You know what the problem is? | ||
The left owns the cultural institutions. | ||
Yep, you're right. | ||
It's really funny when I tell a lot of my regular normie friends this. | ||
They're like, what are you talking about? | ||
Donald Trump's the president. | ||
And I'm like, what has Trump gotten done? | ||
Barack Obama created DACA under executive order, and then Trump tried repealing it under executive order, and they said he can't do it, it's illegal. | ||
No, it doesn't. | ||
Yes, it makes sense. | ||
No, it doesn't. | ||
So they write their arguments, they try to justify it. | ||
But I'm like, listen, man, I get that Trump's the president. | ||
That's legit. | ||
I mean, that gives him a lot of power. | ||
The Republicans are in the Senate. | ||
They're not doing anything. | ||
But come on, man. | ||
If they can tear down a statue of George Washington and where's Don Lemon? | ||
Where's Chris Cuomo? | ||
Why isn't a single Democrat coming out and saying, destroying the visage of our first president is wrong? | ||
They hate it. | ||
Because they don't care. | ||
Because they're addicts, and they're like, whatever you say, it's like they're taking their cues from drug-addled maniacs who are scratching their faces off. | ||
So this is where it gets even crazier. | ||
Look, I get it, man, look. | ||
You get a bunch of dumb kids, they're gonna tear down some statues. | ||
Alright? | ||
We can say, okay, okay, the kids are playing a dumb game, they're addicted, they're on social media, but it really does reach that crazy point right here. | ||
NY City Council members call for Thomas Jefferson's statue to be removed from City Hall. | ||
That's not the kids anymore. | ||
It's not the kids anymore, man. | ||
No, it's not. | ||
The drug addicts are now in our government. | ||
So let me ask you something. | ||
Based on the conversation, so for those that may be just popping into this segment, the gist of it was that people use their phones way too much, creating an addiction, and they constantly have to tweet things to one-up themselves to satisfy that addiction, so their rhetoric gets more and more extreme until they're tearing down statues and screaming for revolution. | ||
And it makes no sense. | ||
This is why nothing they fight for makes sense. | ||
It's why they're always eating each other and contradicting each other because it's just an addiction to get something. | ||
Right. | ||
But look, they have the gist of this mental addiction and how it's withering away their brains and their prefrontal cortex. | ||
Could you imagine if we created a government where one party was just completely meth-addled and one party was just like regular working class people? | ||
No, I can't. | ||
You'd have a bunch of drug-addled people being like, I don't know, I think we gotta raise taxes, because I need meth, you know what I'm saying? | ||
We shouldn't knock down the statues, we should melt them down and sell it, because I need meth. | ||
You'd be like, dude, those things won't help us, that's destroying our country. | ||
But you have a large portion of people all scratching and demanding drugs. | ||
No, they wouldn't say that. | ||
They would be going and taking the lobbying money, like, oh yeah, well, I'm fighting for this, I'm fighting for this, but because I just got paid from this person who is paying me a lot of money, To fight for what they want. | ||
And then you have the, like, you'd have, like, Nancy Pelosi, and she'd walk into a room and be like, well, you know, the young people really like meth, so we're gonna get on our knees and, you know, inject it straight up, like, just do whatever the young people want. | ||
Well, I guess if they're doing it, we should do it, too. | ||
That'd be cool, yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Just give them what they want, because they're desperately trying to win. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And then they start compromising, where Joe Biden's like, you know, the thing with, you know, meth is that, you know, I'll do a little bit, but not too much. | ||
That's literally what's happening with Biden. | ||
Only do it on the weekends. | ||
The compromising with, you know, like for the Democrats to compromise with what these activists represent would be straight up like them saying, okay, we'll take a little bit of your addiction. | ||
Like you're unwell, you're completely ignorant to history, and you're violent. | ||
Yeah, you know what, we'll incorporate a little bit of that into our party. | ||
Now the Republicans are just standing there. | ||
I don't know what they're doing. | ||
They're probably addicted too in the other way around. | ||
Because if you think about it, we weren't ready for social media, right? | ||
We talked about this. | ||
So government wasn't ready for social media either. | ||
They're all humans. | ||
They're all in social media now. | ||
They're seeing these people that are tweeting at them and they're getting the addiction also from these crazy people that are like propping them up like, wow, you're our champion. | ||
Except social media bans the ones who get too addicted. | ||
The conservatives who go too far in their addiction get banned. | ||
But not on the left? | ||
Not on the left. | ||
Right. | ||
So there it is. | ||
Right. | ||
Exactly. | ||
So what's happening in the Republican Party is they're kind of just standing around with their thumbs up their bum like they've always been doing. | ||
I've never had any, you know, I've never cared much for the Republican Party. | ||
They have not been involved, that group, you know, in a city that was run by Democrats. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But the Democrats are increasingly allowed to embrace this insanity. | ||
Because the people who run Twitter are the dealers, man. | ||
That's true. | ||
They're progressive, they're the dealers, and they don't want to ban their own ideas. | ||
They don't want to ban their friends. | ||
So they've created this drug addiction, this technological addiction that's melting the brains of these people. | ||
And the drug addicts are screaming, ban the conservatives. | ||
So they do. | ||
Yep. | ||
And that leaves you with, it leaves you with some, you know, addicted conservatives for sure, but they're kept in check. | ||
Yep. | ||
They can't go too far, and they know it. | ||
So sometimes a conservative will overdose. | ||
Someone on the right will, it's the equivalent of social media ODing. | ||
They know how much they can get away with. | ||
Like, what's the dosage of spicy memes you can post before they finally come for you and you're done, you're digitally dead? | ||
So conservatives don't cross that line anymore. | ||
The left has no line. | ||
They've literally called for violence. | ||
There's actually a Twitter account that was for the George Washington statue. | ||
A Twitter account gave the address and said, let's go do it. | ||
Facebook, there's someone sent me this picture from Facebook of someone killing a cop with a knife to the throat. | ||
I was like, what? | ||
Did I just see that? | ||
Now, I didn't see it on Twitter or on Facebook myself, so I don't know, but people are like, how is this allowed? | ||
What are we seeing? | ||
Someone, you know, we were talking about yesterday, the Antifa fist, right? | ||
Gripping the snake. | ||
And we brought it up. | ||
It was actually a Nazi thing. | ||
And it's like, look, it's the same thing. | ||
Someone posted it on Facebook. | ||
Banned. | ||
So the context for that is, you know the Gadsden flag. | ||
It's the coiled snake. | ||
Don't tread on me. | ||
The far left took the revolution fist, which is like this. | ||
It's actually, I believe it's the Spanish communist symbol from the Spanish Civil War. | ||
And now it's been appropriated by a bunch of other leftist groups. | ||
They put the fist strangling the Gadsden snake. | ||
Somebody brought this up to me, that that's actually Nazi iconography. | ||
There was a Nazi propaganda of an arm strangling a snake. | ||
And so we were making the point that if they're going to claim Trump's triangle is Nazi, then why aren't they? | ||
Right, exactly. | ||
Well, Facebook banned Trump and banned showing the comparison of the Nazi iconography. | ||
So they get away with it. | ||
And then the Democrats are looking at their constituents, and what do they see? | ||
Lunatics. | ||
I think Trump should not have won in 2016. | ||
No? | ||
Absolutely not. | ||
No, no, no. | ||
I'm not saying he didn't deserve to win. | ||
I'm saying that by all statistics and the will of the people, he shouldn't have, except for the fact that social media allows lunatics on the left to get away with whatever they want. | ||
So regular people were turned off and it gave Trump the little tiny boost he needed. | ||
Cause he did win by a decent electoral margin, but there were many states where he won by only a few thousand votes, maybe like seven to 10,000 votes. | ||
You get enough people who are on social media or are seeing this stuff and they're just like, these people are insane. | ||
That's why I don't believe it today. | ||
You know, that they're saying that Trump is going to lose. | ||
I can't. | ||
I can't believe it. | ||
Maybe it's true. | ||
I don't believe it. | ||
That he's gonna lose. | ||
Yeah, we're in a blue state, right? | ||
A blue area. | ||
We're in heavy blue. | ||
Heavy blue. | ||
I walked around the neighborhood. | ||
I haven't seen any Democratic signs. | ||
I saw Trump signs. | ||
Yep, today in the store. | ||
I saw the bumper sticker. | ||
At the store? | ||
Yeah! | ||
They're out there. | ||
We're in a blue area. | ||
Trump supporters, surrounded by Trump supporters. | ||
It's like, I don't know. | ||
The area we are in isn't just a blue area. | ||
It is like, this district will never go Republican. | ||
Yeah, for sure. | ||
Will never happen. | ||
Okay. | ||
Yeah. | ||
People said Trump would never get elected president. | ||
That's why I'm saying the severity of you seeing Trump signs is like, whoa. | ||
Yeah, and they're not afraid. | ||
We're in the Philly suburbs. | ||
Yeah, dude. | ||
And there are red areas over here. | ||
We're very close to Jeff Van Drew, who was a Democrat and turned into a Republican, which is another point to be made. | ||
He ran as a moderate Democrat and then switched because he saw the signs. | ||
He saw the crazy eyes. | ||
We're in an area that it's not as bad as say Ocasio-Cortez's district because I think she's D plus 30. | ||
Meaning like that's huge. | ||
Philly was 82% Democrat voters in the 2016 election. | ||
It's not going to happen here. | ||
However, if you're seeing Trump signs in this neighborhood... I am. | ||
I had a conversation with a local guy last year, and it was kind of weird, because he was an anti-Trump leftist. | ||
It was obvious, but he was being polite. | ||
Like, he lived in the area, and we were talking. | ||
We talked for quite some time, and then he started saying things that were very obviously leftist talking points. | ||
A lot of it was fake news. | ||
And I was very polite, and I have to navigate those things very carefully, because I can't just be like, that's completely wrong. | ||
What are you talking about? | ||
You believe that Libtard, blah, blah, blah. | ||
Yeah, because you will trigger their emotional defense system. | ||
Right. | ||
So I just said, you know, I'm tactful and respectful. | ||
And I said, oh, well, you know, you saw the update on that one, right? | ||
That story about Trump. | ||
Actually, it turned out to be this. | ||
And then he goes, oh, really? | ||
And I was like, oh, yeah. | ||
And I just pulled my phone. | ||
I'm like, yeah, check it out. | ||
He's like, oh, it's the best way to do it. | ||
But he was talking a bunch of stuff about Hillary and Trump being, you know, a Nazi and all this stuff. | ||
And that was that. | ||
I mean, dude, we're in a blue we're in this blue town, man. | ||
This is this is like 82 percent the Philly area. | ||
And this guy was talking about this for you to now walk around the neighborhood and see Trump signs and Trump stickers. | ||
I can't, you know... We saw that Trump flag in the middle of the lake. | ||
Yeah, seriously. | ||
That's determination. | ||
That's crazy. | ||
And there's no docks or anything. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
Like, how did they do it? | ||
They either waded out there or brought a boat and something. | ||
Maybe, who knows? | ||
I wouldn't even call it a lake. | ||
An inflatable. | ||
I would call it like a scum pond. | ||
Ice water, yeah. | ||
Yeah, it's a shopping center with just like a small body of water full of trash. | ||
And somebody found a way to mount a Trump sign in the middle of that thing. | ||
So yeah, I'm seeing rhetoric from the Trump supporters, but I gotta tell you, man, you know what? | ||
Maybe it's just hubris, but there's a part of me that says when they tore down a statue of Thomas Jefferson, that was a declaration of war on everything the average American believes in. | ||
It is these internet drug addicts. | ||
They've gone insane. | ||
They think they're the majority, but they're like 1% of the population. | ||
Man, I'd be willing to bet if you go to any house in Philly proper, any apartment, knock on the door, guy comes out. | ||
What do you think about Thomas Jefferson? | ||
This is Philadelphia. | ||
That's true. | ||
Thomas Jefferson? | ||
Yeah, man. | ||
He's alright, dude. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
He's alright. | |
What do you think about Ben Franklin? | ||
Yeah, good dude. | ||
George Washington? | ||
Dude, we have a Liberty Bell here, man. | ||
Right. | ||
This is Philadelphia. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's the founding father's town. | ||
These men wrote the groundwork that opened up civil rights to be had in the future. | ||
Whether it was on purpose or not, you wanna have the argument? | ||
Fine. | ||
But I was watching this video from PragerU about Frederick Douglass, and one of his arguments was, he's a very, very famous abolitionist, born a slave, became free, and he said something about, you know, will the American people have the will to live up to their own constitution? | ||
And there were pro-slavery people who were like, oh, harumph! | ||
But he got them. | ||
He's like, I got you. | ||
You gotta admit it. | ||
It says right there, we're all equal. | ||
Are we or not? | ||
Yep. | ||
That was the beauty of what the Founding Fathers wrote, whether they intended it or not, and I think they did intend it. | ||
I was reading about the rebuttal to the 1619 Project. | ||
Okay. | ||
Historians actually writing about the attitudes, and I looked up a bunch of other sources from before the whole controversy, and they all seem to back up the general idea that although the Founding Fathers were slave owners, many of them detested it. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
And so for like Thomas Jefferson, he actually inherited many of them. | ||
And then he wrote publicly, he tried to get, I believe he did get it banned internationally. | ||
He stopped the importing of slaves. | ||
And so he was working to do what he could to actually stop it. | ||
Did he do enough? | ||
I'd argue he could have done more. | ||
I don't know what it was like back in the 1700s, 1800s. | ||
Yeah, but that's always the argument. | ||
Everyone always thinks that, oh, well, you could have done more. | ||
You're someone other than me. | ||
I don't want to do anything. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
You can do more. | ||
They didn't do more. | ||
I'm screeching at you now. | ||
It's like that's this whole thing that we're... Screeching has become the norm instead of accountability for your own actions. | ||
Well, I just mean, look, Thomas Jefferson did a lot of really, really great things. | ||
Yeah. | ||
He was a slave owner. | ||
And there were abolitionists at the time, and there were people who were fighting for freedom. | ||
And yeah, there could have been more done. | ||
And I bet a lot of these people out there don't even do the research to know who those people are. | ||
Oh, for sure. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
Like, tear down the statues, and then what? | ||
They tore down a statue of a guy who was a staunch abolitionist. | ||
Yep. | ||
I think they defaced it. | ||
I don't know if they tore it down. | ||
I can't remember the guy's name. | ||
I was reading it. | ||
It was a bunch of conservatives posting it, and they were saying that people didn't know anything about the statue other than he was a colonist. | ||
And it was like, he would buy in free slaves and fought really, really hard to end it, actively. | ||
And they deface it, and it's like, you have no idea what you're talking about, man. | ||
Yeah, they don't. | ||
They're trying to get a statue of Abraham Lincoln torn down. | ||
The great emancipator. | ||
You want to criticize Lincoln? | ||
The Republicans were 100% anti-slavery. | ||
It was a new party at the time, and they were like, no. | ||
Yeah, the Democrats. | ||
The Democrats are the ones that wanted to keep it around. | ||
You know what's weird about the Democratic Party? | ||
It's insane. | ||
And the Democrats are the ones trying to get rid of Thomas Jefferson. | ||
And get rid of the Civil Rights Act in California. | ||
What's that going on over there? | ||
Dude, they want to be able to discriminate again? | ||
The Democrats in California have officially voted to repeal the civil rights legislation. | ||
It went through? | ||
Through the Assembly. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Now it goes to the Senate, and then I guess it'll be, I don't know if it'll be voted on or ratified or however it works in California, but the Assembly Democrats in California, basically their version of the House, have passed it. | ||
unidentified
|
60 to 14. | |
Why would they want to discriminate against it? | ||
That's insane. | ||
The bill literally does one thing. | ||
What's that? | ||
It strikes through the entire non-discrimination legislation of Prop 209. | ||
Wow. | ||
So I send this to my friends and they're absolutely confused by it because the Democrats know how dumb people are. | ||
They titled it the Affirmative Action Amendment. | ||
Wow. | ||
Yep. | ||
So I sent it to a friend of mine who lives in California, and I said, if this actually is ratified, I will never set foot in California again. | ||
I was like, because I do not want to be made an example of based on my race. | ||
And they said, but affirmative action, you have to understand. | ||
And I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, stop, stop. | ||
What about affirmative action? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Did you read the bill? | ||
Yeah. | ||
I'm like, OK, well, the bill has nothing to do with affirmative action. | ||
Right. | ||
It literally says This bill or provision will remove Section 31, Chapter 1 of the California Constitution. | ||
And then it shows you all the text that will be removed. | ||
And it literally says, the state shall not discriminate nor provide preferential treatment on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, sex, national origin. | ||
That's messed up. | ||
They're removing that. | ||
That's insane. | ||
That is a mirror to the 1964 Civil Rights Act federally. | ||
So I sent it to a bunch of my lefty friends. | ||
Like, I want you to explain this to me. | ||
One of them said, affirmative action. | ||
And when I tried breaking it down, I'm like, no, no, no, no, that's just the title of the bill. | ||
Did you read what the bill does? | ||
Yeah, it makes it so that affirmative action is in schools. | ||
And I said, no, no, no, no, read what the bill says. | ||
And they were like, I don't understand what you're saying. | ||
It says affirmative action. | ||
I'm like, That's the title. | ||
Get past the title. | ||
They're not smart enough. | ||
Open the book. | ||
Open the book. | ||
Read the book. | ||
Not the title of the book. | ||
Open the book. | ||
Read it. | ||
So, I have another friend, and we were talking about political ideologies, and I said, the problem with the political compass is that me and everyone I know are left libertarian. | ||
The difference is I'm anti-identitarian, and you can't see ideology on a political compass. | ||
And so my friend was like, I said, because of this, I reject most of the policies of the progressives and the Democrats. | ||
We started having a conversation, and I sent them a link to the Ballotpedia bill saying they're revoking civil rights legislation. | ||
And they responded with, you know, the thing about affirmative action, and I said, hold on, let me stop you right there. | ||
You have to read past the title. | ||
Yeah. | ||
No offense. | ||
And then guess what they said next? | ||
I don't need to. | ||
No, no, no, no. | ||
This one's better than that. | ||
Oh, great. | ||
It's better than that? | ||
It's good. | ||
Oh, OK. | ||
Oh, geez. | ||
What? | ||
This is weird. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, good. | |
Yes. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
That makes me feel so much better. | ||
A little glint of hope in humanity. | ||
Right. | ||
Because there are good natured people who are being fed fake news. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And they don't see this stuff. | ||
And so I said, can you explain, like, what I'm supposed to do in the face of this? | ||
And it's like, no. | ||
No. | ||
And I was like, yeah, now you know why I'm actively resisting these people. | ||
Yeah. | ||
The Republicans kicked out—Steve King lost his primary, right? | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
They clubbed hard against him. | ||
It's like, dude, Steve King tweets about white nationalism, and they get rid of the guy in two seconds. | ||
They even, they're being accused now of licking the boots of Black Lives Matter. | ||
Because the conservatives are not far-right fringe extremists. | ||
They're like mostly moderate at this point. | ||
They're still in the bell curve of the average person. | ||
They're actually pretty close to the center and moving left. | ||
It's shifting. | ||
Yeah, and there are scary problems with that in that they won't stand up against the people tearing down the statues of George Washington. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Dude, man, I would love, you know what I want to do? | ||
Here's what I want to do. | ||
Smash the like button? | ||
You guys should smash the like button. | ||
Also, don't forget we're doing the meme contest later. | ||
We didn't mention that. | ||
Oh, we haven't. | ||
But here's what I want to do. | ||
I would love to pay for any one of these people to go to any one of these places they claim is really, really horrible. | ||
I'll pay for your trip there. | ||
I actually proposed this to somebody a long time ago. | ||
We were arguing on Facebook about all of these different political issues and places, and I said, I'll tell you what, have you ever been to any one of these places? | ||
And they said, no. | ||
And I said, how would you like it if I paid everything and sent you there? | ||
Let me know what you need. | ||
If you think you need security, I will hire you security. | ||
If you want a camera to film it, I will get someone to film you. | ||
And ultimately they back out. | ||
Of course. | ||
I have a friend in Chicago who's posting all this crazy stuff about how racist, you know, white people are and just the whole line. | ||
And I said, all right, all right, bro. | ||
I'll tell you what, man. | ||
Would you want to do a project with me where we walk through K-Town? | ||
It's on the south side of Chicago. | ||
Immediately stops talking responding on Facebook of course immediately just stops responding on messenger You know what you know what would happen if you walked through like man I'm not gonna mention some of these gangs, but if one of these scrawny, you know little Lefty progressive dudes that I know from Chicago. | ||
Yeah that I've done for a long time They know what happens when you walk to that neighborhood. | ||
Let me let me tell you a quick story I lived on the south side, eventually moved to the suburbs, and I'm skating in the suburb of Glen Ellyn. | ||
It's good fun. | ||
Suburb's way different from the south side of Chicago, man. | ||
We were rough and tumble. | ||
That's night and day different. | ||
Night and day. | ||
Glen Ellyn's a tiny little spot. | ||
Glen Ellyn is like expensive houses, suburb. | ||
It's nice. | ||
unidentified
|
Beautiful houses. | |
Right by Wheaton. | ||
My cousin used to live there. | ||
And you're miles away from your friend's house. | ||
Yeah, that's like an hour outside of Chicago easy. | ||
So let me tell you about Southside, okay? | ||
I mentioned this before. | ||
A couple miles from my house, my buddy calls me one night and says, I'm watching someone drag a carpet with feet sticking out of it. | ||
In his alley. | ||
Literally, I'm like, yeah, so not that far away. | ||
In suburbs, I'm talking to my buddy, it was my second car ever, a Dodge Neon, and I'm like, let's go skate in the city. | ||
We're gonna go to, I think, the Wilson Skate Park. | ||
So I like driving down Roosevelt, straight from, because it goes from Glen Ellyn, it goes straight into the city. | ||
Oh, cool. | ||
And then Roosevelt's like 12 south. | ||
So you do go through the south side. | ||
So we do this. | ||
And then I decided to turn left on some street, I can't remember what it was, probably Halsted or something, maybe Harlem. | ||
And the dude started hyperventilating. | ||
Really? | ||
When he realized where we were. | ||
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
And I'm laughing. | ||
And he was like, why are we here, dude? | ||
unidentified
|
What are you doing? | |
Bro, we're driving, we're fine. | ||
And I'm like, the only thing you gotta know is when you pull up to a car at a red light, you don't pull up real close. | ||
You leave a full car length. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Because what they do is, once you get boxed in, they run up to your car and mug you. | ||
Oh, that seems fine. | ||
That's why you always leave a full car length, so if you see someone run up to your car, you speed out and go for it. | ||
I was like, we're gonna be fine, bro. | ||
But he was freaking out. | ||
So now, this was somebody who was from the suburbs, who knew the reality of the city of Chicago and the gun violence, Chi-Rac, and all that stuff, and he was not happy about me taking, like, I'm from the city, dude, I'm, you know, and I know people who are way more reckless than I was, but my ultra-progressive friends from the city, I'd be like, straight up, man, I tell you what, come with me to the South Side, where I grew up, we'll go for a walk. | ||
How does it sound? | ||
Gone. | ||
Huh. | ||
Won't respond. | ||
Radio silence. | ||
They know. | ||
They virtue signal on Facebook all this time, but they like to say things like, only white people are racist. | ||
It's like, oh yeah, you want to take a trip with me to these certain neighborhoods, man? | ||
And I'll give you a lesson on racism. | ||
Chicago is a very, very horrifyingly racist place. | ||
It's segregated. | ||
It's nasty. | ||
So it's not even about... It's just bad neighborhoods. | ||
Yeah, it honestly feels like there's a, an air of like a war on white people right now. | ||
It's like, if you're white, it's like, you're just wrong. | ||
The argument is that your pure existence is offensive and racist. | ||
It's been that way for a long time. | ||
It's been growing in comedy. | ||
And it starts with white people recognizing that, you know, I think this was probably, you know, following civil rights. | ||
You're in a dominant position, you know? | ||
I don't think it's fair to call it white privilege. | ||
I think it's majority privilege, and there's generational wealth and a bunch of other factors that play a role in it. | ||
But you started getting self-deprecating comedians Who, it's fine to make fun of white people because you are white. | ||
And now it's evolved into everybody piling on the white people all the time and anything else is offensive. | ||
And now it's getting twisted and weird where Uncle Ben, Uncle Ben Rice, it was literally, it's a picture of a farmer. | ||
He was a farmer in 1946, that's the image they used. | ||
He's gotta go. | ||
Mr. Clean, the white dude. | ||
Shaved head? | ||
He's alright. | ||
That's how weird it's getting. | ||
It is weird. | ||
It's all these inversions. | ||
The war on white people narrative is kind of a weird narrative. | ||
It was popping up for a while. | ||
I don't think it's that. | ||
I don't like framing it that way. | ||
I don't see it that way. | ||
What I see is racial identitarianism, period. | ||
And so let me break this down. | ||
It's not so much that it's a war on white people. | ||
It's the racialization of everything. | ||
But it's Asians, you know what I mean? | ||
It's racial stereotyping of all races. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So naturally you get the evolution of, it's okay to make fun of white people. | ||
And now you're going to get white people feeling like they're being attacked simply based on the color of their skin. | ||
But then... No, they are literally getting attacked. | ||
Like physically attacked. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, you gotta be careful about this stuff too. | ||
The videos we see, and there's a lot of them, of white people just being attacked, those | ||
probably aren't new. | ||
Okay. | ||
That's the, and, and... | ||
That's not better. | ||
I'm not saying it's better. | ||
Yeah, like... | ||
I'm saying you have to be careful with this idea that it's a new thing, that white people | ||
are now being attacked. | ||
I, I'm, bro, I'm, you go to the South Side of Chicago. | ||
I'll tell you all about it. | ||
I've been attacked. | ||
You've been shot at. | ||
I have. | ||
That was not a race thing though. | ||
But I have other situations that were complete... I told you about my uncle. | ||
I lost my uncle because he was a white man. | ||
And they thought that he had money because he was white. | ||
And he got shot and killed. | ||
And it's like... Did that make me a racist? | ||
No. | ||
Not at all. | ||
But it exists. | ||
I see it. | ||
I know it exists. | ||
I'm not going to let it change me, though. | ||
The scary thing about what the left is doing is that it's creating white identitarianism, which was like going away. | ||
Yeah. | ||
After civil rights and, you know, the loving Virginia and then other provision, you know, other amendments that have been made over the past several decades, we were truly getting to a point Where race, it was considered taboo to use that as a pretext for anything, and it became a secondary, it became an afterthought. | ||
You still had comedians who would bring up race and make these points, and people recognized there was a lot we had to do, but we were getting away from using race as a pretext for anything. | ||
The left brought it back, and when they started normalizing the belittling and the insulting of white people, Yeah. | ||
It made a lot of, it created an incentive for many young white people to form a racial identity group. | ||
And then you saw the rise of the alt-right. | ||
That's a good point. | ||
However, the issue though is, what they're doing in California is, it's not about white people. | ||
It's about them controlling and segregating everybody. | ||
For whatever reason, I don't know. | ||
They wanna keep us separated so we don't rise up and take over the establishment that has kept us in control for so long. | ||
It's almost blaringly obvious to me now. | ||
They don't want us together. | ||
They don't want us to rise because we'll take over That's what we need to do. | ||
We need to take over. | ||
Well, Trump is a populist, and that's why they hated him. | ||
Bernie was the left populist, but Bernie played ball in two seconds. | ||
Yep, that's right. | ||
You know, Bernie Sanders said on the debate stage, and I love telling this to people because they don't believe me, if you're white, you don't know what it's like to be poor. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
That's ridiculous. | ||
There's a quote going around from a French far left political leader, and he said, the people who believe in white privilege never met a poor white person. | ||
And I'm like, that's like a far leftist in France. | ||
What's up with that? | ||
What the heck? | ||
Why is America so twisted and broken? | ||
Well, I think we know. | ||
We talked about the addiction. | ||
It's the mental break. | ||
It's funny to me that... It's so much more than just that, too. | ||
There's so many things. | ||
There's so many wheels in this society that we have, and they're all getting all misshapen. | ||
They're still turning, but they're getting morphed and blobby gross. It's decay. It's decaying. Yes agreed reminds me of | ||
like Playing you know link to the past or something. Okay, you're | ||
like in a room and the floor starts falling out That is an amazing game. It's a great game great game | ||
But I'm imagining like the floor just goes you have to like run and you're running and the floors falling behind you | ||
Yeah, it feels like that's what's happening Yep, like we're watching the whole structure and system | ||
just start falling apart And I think it's like a zombification a rot a decay a | ||
breakdown What are you gonna call it? But the? | ||
But I do want to stress the point about what they are doing with race. | ||
And when I pointed out to one of my friends that they've repealed the civil rights legislation, they voted to repeal it in California, and what that means. | ||
I said, well, I do think one of their preliminary arguments is that they need to be able to discriminate based on race in order to create equality. | ||
That's what their argument is? | ||
What they've argued specifically is affirmative action. | ||
They're trying to use affirmative action as justification for repealing all civil rights law in the public sphere. | ||
The argument is universities have too many Asians. | ||
So we need to be able to stop Asians from getting in. | ||
So stop rewarding people on their merit and just give it to them on the color of their skin. | ||
And lighten their workload based on the color of their skin. | ||
That's racist. | ||
Of course it is! | ||
The assumption that a certain race couldn't do it. | ||
Yeah, it's insane. | ||
And they're not- And belittling. | ||
Yep. | ||
I'd be pissed. Yes, I'm white. Yeah, but I mean, I didn't go to college. | ||
I got lucky and knew someone amazing, like Tim Poole called me up and said, | ||
hey, you want to do a show with me? And this is where I am. | ||
You know, it's like, but basing anything like that on the color of your skin is just, | ||
it blows my mind away. It's like the fact that people are okay with it, a minority. | ||
It's a it's more like hey You know what you're you're less than us now, so you don't have to do as much It's like how belittling is that and I'd be pissed they don't just think it's okay They are actively trying to make it happen because I think it's good. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh But this is the main point. | |
It's about all of the races. | ||
I don't think it's an attack on any one race. | ||
I think it's literally them being like, we want to make sure you're all digitized into nice little packages where we can separate you and control which group goes where. | ||
And who votes for who. | ||
The craziest thing about Asians, when they say there's too many Asians in the university, A lot of my progressive friends go, well, it is true. | ||
There's like a disproportionate amount of Asians. | ||
And I said, what does that mean? | ||
What Asian? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Indian, Chinese, Laotian, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Filipino. | ||
Come on, come on. | ||
Malaysian. | ||
They have no idea what that means. | ||
They don't. | ||
They don't have any clue. | ||
So you're telling me that you've taken half the planet, put it onto one continent, and then said this entire ethnic region, the Western, Eastern hemisphere, is now one group. | ||
It's insane. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Yeah. | ||
So I have to wonder what their real motivations are when they try and argue that a poor Vietnamese immigrant is the same as a wealthy Indian immigrant. | ||
Right. | ||
Or a poor Vietnamese kid born in America, second generation, growing up in the ghetto. | ||
They say, well, no matter how hard he works, we're not gonna let him go to Harvard. | ||
Amazing. | ||
It's like they're trying to create a caste system, and they found their inn. | ||
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
Seems like it. | ||
You know what, man? | ||
We gotta make fun of millennials, because this is too deep. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's just too heavy for me. | ||
Wonderful. | ||
Let's do that. | ||
That sounds wonderful. | ||
unidentified
|
That sounds good. | |
I wanna laugh. | ||
It's so easy, though. | ||
We didn't even talk about Wizard of the Coast, either. | ||
I mean, we could do that. | ||
We can talk about that. | ||
We're winging it tonight. | ||
Let's talk about Wizard of the Coast. | ||
Yeah, whatever. | ||
And you know what? | ||
Before we go on, just remember... Smash that like button! | ||
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
Thank you, Tim. | ||
It's my job, but I'll accept it. | ||
So remember, we're going to be giving away these boards. | ||
We're going to give away four boards? | ||
Maybe five. | ||
We've decided to give away five because one post went above and beyond and we were like, wow. | ||
That was so good. | ||
It was so good. | ||
It was like the honor roll. | ||
You get to sit at the head of the table and we're giving some of these boards away. | ||
So that's going to come later tonight after we talk about Millennials. | ||
Well, the first thing we're going to do is talk about this. | ||
The insanity. | ||
Hipsters of the Coast. | ||
Check out this story, man. | ||
Wizards ends their relationship with Therese Nielsen. | ||
Look at this beautiful piece of art. | ||
That's an amazing piece of art. | ||
Look at the intricate depth. | ||
I believe that is Hannah. | ||
Hannah, ships navigator. | ||
I might be wrong. | ||
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
That's from, that's an old card, huh? | ||
No, no, no. | ||
This one's from a commander set when they, they brought back a lot of like the old. | ||
Well, we got, let's get to the context real quick for those that aren't familiar | ||
with, uh, this is, uh, an art from the magic, the gathering card game, which | ||
we've been talking about quite a bit because there's, there's a culture | ||
revolution going on where they're purging now artists and old cards for | ||
their art and function, and it is some of the most insane nonsense I've ever seen. | ||
Many levels of insane. | ||
If you are someone who is concerned about the culture revolution and the culture war, this is going to melt your brain. | ||
Yeah, this is insane. | ||
This is one of Magic the Gathering's prominent card game. | ||
I believe it's the most prominent physical trading card game in the world. | ||
Yeah, maybe. | ||
Because I think some digital card games, like Hearthstone. | ||
But Magic the Gathering, I believe it's the first trading card game, actually. | ||
I think it was. | ||
It might not have been the first, but it was definitely the one that took off. | ||
I think it was the first. | ||
Really? | ||
I do. | ||
Cool. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
I could be wrong, but I do think so. | ||
I don't know that for certain, but... This artist, one of the most prominent artists who's ever created, you know... She's been with magic the entire time. | ||
Therese Nielsen is an incredible artist. | ||
She's been making art for magic since the get-go. | ||
I'm pretty sure she was one of the first... No, maybe not the first, but, I mean, at least 20 years she's been doing artwork for magic, and it's always been incredible artwork. | ||
Well, she got fired. | ||
She's gone. | ||
She's gone. | ||
They got rid of her. | ||
She followed the wrong people on Twitter. | ||
Amazing. | ||
That's it. | ||
Yep. | ||
Let's see how Hipsters of the Coast frames this. | ||
They say, Thursday evening on Weekly MTG, Wizards of the Coast, on Weekly MTG, Wizards of the Coast revealed they've apparently ended their relationship with controversial artists. | ||
Oh, it's controversial now. | ||
Think about that. | ||
You could follow... What if you followed, like, I don't know, Papa John's? | ||
And they were like, well, but Papa John's said the N-word and he got fired. | ||
Therefore, you're a bigot. | ||
unidentified
|
You're out. | |
Oh my gosh. | ||
This is Inquisition, man. | ||
We haven't commissioned new art from Therese Nielsen in quite a while, said Doug Bayer, principal game designer on | ||
the world-building team for Magic the Gathering. | ||
The last product that will have any reprint art from her is this fall with Zendikar Rising. | ||
Oh, that's good to know. | ||
Bayer's statement... | ||
Oh, look at this. | ||
Bayer's Statement is Wizards of the Coast's first acknowledgement of the controversy surrounding Nielsen. | ||
It came on the same day that it was revealed that Nielsen will have at least three cards in Jumpstart, Magic's newest supplemental product, with her art Death's Approach, Haunter's Insight, and Rhystic Study. | ||
Oh wow, Rhystic Study. | ||
Many in the Magic community were upset that Wizards was continuing to use Nielsen's work after the information that has surfaced throughout 2018 and 2019. | ||
The information that surfaced is that she followed Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, and InfoWars. | ||
That's it. | ||
That's... that's it. | ||
Yep. | ||
That's amazing. | ||
She was familiar with their existence and they terminated her. | ||
This is crazy. | ||
You know what? | ||
I wouldn't follow all of them too. | ||
I want all sides of the situation. | ||
I don't want to be blocked. | ||
I want to know what the left's talking about. | ||
I want to know what the right's talking about. | ||
I want to know what everyone in the middle's talking about. | ||
I want all the opinions. | ||
I want to read it all. | ||
You can't be in a cult if you have access to information. | ||
Yeah, dude. | ||
Clearly. | ||
They need to restrict what you can see or hear. | ||
This is what I said earlier today. | ||
I said, Internet killed the mainstream media and they are fighting to the death to maintain control. | ||
But it's not this. | ||
It's that there is a cult growing in our country. | ||
An infectious mind virus. | ||
And the cult knows that if you follow Jack, Mike, or InfoWars, you will get a counter-narrative. | ||
And Therese Nielsen knew that counter-narrative. | ||
And she could spread that to other cult members. | ||
That's it, right there. | ||
So they excised her. | ||
That way she could not tell someone what was, you know, I don't want to act like it's Mike, Jack, or InfoWars are giving you the truth, just a different opinion. | ||
I'll tell you what, I never followed her on Twitter, but I'm gonna go find her after the show. | ||
And follow her. | ||
I'm gonna go look her up. | ||
No, you know what, man? | ||
I like her art! | ||
Her art's amazing! | ||
When she got called out for it, she unfollowed them. | ||
Oh, seriously? | ||
Yep. | ||
She's like, you know what, but don't cancel me. | ||
Nah, have a spine. | ||
We talked about this the other day. | ||
Because if she came out and said like, what? | ||
You think they're gonna let you back now? | ||
No, it's too late. | ||
You're gone. | ||
You've already been marked. | ||
You're marked. | ||
You're gone. | ||
You're not in their circle. | ||
And by backing down and unfollowing these people, you're basically saying, I'm sorry, you were right. | ||
Exactly. | ||
You're basically giving and admitting that you did something wrong instead of just being like, I follow a lot of people. | ||
I don't know what you want me to say. | ||
So do I have too much pride? | ||
Because I would be like, you know what? | ||
You fired me for this. | ||
I'm never unfollowing them. | ||
In fact, I'm going through and I'm following tons of people you'll disapprove of because it's too late. | ||
Like, what's the point? | ||
What's the point in kowtowing? | ||
It's too late. | ||
And this is the issue. | ||
This is it. | ||
People are giving in. | ||
They're caving. | ||
Where's their pride? | ||
Their spine's gone. | ||
They're giving in and letting these people run over our country, pull down statues. | ||
It's insane. | ||
I don't get it. | ||
She could have said something like, oh yeah, I noticed some activists were tweeting about how awful they were and I was like, whoa, I better see what they're doing because this is bad. | ||
Especially if they're influential. | ||
And then what are they going to say? | ||
No, but instead everyone always bends the knee. | ||
The dude who took his shirt off and pulled his spine on an accident. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm so sorry I hurt your feelings by wearing a t-shirt. | |
Here's what they say. | ||
Nielsen lives in Carson City, Nevada with her wife, was one of Magic's most popular artists, and began illustrating cards in 1996's Alliance expansion. | ||
Okay, so it wasn't right in the beginning, but... 24 years! | ||
Three years later. | ||
That's incredible. | ||
24 years of doing Magic art. | ||
And look what they say. | ||
Look. | ||
In 2018, people noticed that Nielsen had been following members of the alt-right and conspiracy theorists. | ||
Who's that? | ||
Who's the alt-right? | ||
Well, so, Jack Posobiec and Mike Cernovich had, I believe they did, they called themselves alt-right. | ||
The kind of like alt-light type figures, I guess? | ||
No, but they initially did say they were alt-right. | ||
A lot of people did, though. | ||
They didn't know what it was. | ||
They didn't fully understand it, yeah. | ||
And it was like the perfect Trojan horse for all these alternative personalities, or whatever you want to call them, where they didn't know what alt-right meant. | ||
That's so funny, because this was pitched to me by a literal family member. | ||
I've talked to you guys about this person. | ||
They pitched it to me, and they're like, how would you guys like to be part of this group? | ||
It's called the Alt-Right. | ||
And I was like, well, what does it mean? | ||
Someone pitched it to you? | ||
Yeah, they pitched it to me. | ||
They're like, do you want to be part of this? | ||
And I was like, no, thank you. | ||
Well, think about it. | ||
Thanks, though. | ||
But you didn't know what it was. | ||
I had no idea. | ||
I'm like, it sounds kind of interesting. | ||
I just don't know enough about it. | ||
This is what I tell you, man. | ||
I don't want to be part of anyone's group. | ||
Right. | ||
unidentified
|
Get away. | |
Yeah, it's dangerous. | ||
unidentified
|
Get out of here. | |
Yeah, it's dangerous. | ||
It's not about being dangerous. | ||
It's like, I don't know you. | ||
unidentified
|
Right, well you don't know. | |
And you know what the bigger problem for me is? | ||
I'm better than you and I know it! | ||
That's all it is. | ||
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. | ||
Well that's all the leaders of all these extreme groups on either side. | ||
It doesn't matter. | ||
Thanks Anna. | ||
If they're that extreme, they think they're better and know everything more than anyone else. | ||
A part of it really is when people come and start talking about groups. | ||
I am just too arrogant to be like, I'm not going to stand next to you for whatever it is you're doing because, because I just don't think you're smart enough to do what you're doing. | ||
I don't know what you're, I don't care what you think you are, what you think you're doing. | ||
I'm not a part of your group and I'm not going to, I'm going to wear my beanie. | ||
I'm not going to wear your hat. | ||
I'm not going to wear your whatever. | ||
I'm going to wear whatever I want. | ||
I'm going to do my thing. | ||
Yep. | ||
You know, I once got, I got invited to the Clinton black tie gala, the Clinton foundations gala. | ||
Oh, wow. | ||
Do you think you went? | ||
Oh, I know the story. | ||
Go ahead. | ||
I told them, they sent me an invitation. | ||
It was through my agent or whatever. | ||
And I said, I will go if I can wear my normal, my standard fare. | ||
And they said, what does that mean? | ||
And I said, it means I'm going to wear a beanie and a t-shirt. | ||
And they said, it's a black tie affair. | ||
And I said, well, you know my terms. | ||
And then they were like... | ||
They told me that I had to, I had to wear it. | ||
And then when I said, you know, I'm not going to wear a suit. | ||
They said it's mandatory participation. | ||
And I was like, later, I'm not going to your, I'm not going to your Clinton foundation, whatever. | ||
Make me wear a tie. | ||
And I said, look, I'll be honest with you. | ||
I was, I was talking to my agent after the fact. | ||
And I was like, There are people who like and respect me. | ||
I'm a guy out on the street in boots on the ground. | ||
The last thing I'm gonna do is put on a tuxedo or whatever they want me to wear and show up to their silly little gala and act like some foofy elitist. | ||
So when you went to the White House, was that last year? | ||
Yeah. | ||
You wore your beanie? | ||
I wore exactly what I'm wearing. | ||
This outfit? | ||
This is a new shirt, but basically the same thing. | ||
So you wore the old version? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
Cool. | ||
Respect. | ||
But you know what the funny thing is? | ||
This is the best thing. | ||
You want to know why I'm not down with whatever these weirdo leftists banning people is? | ||
And why I like the conservatives even though I don't agree with them politically? | ||
Do you know what the reaction from the conservatives was when they saw me wearing the beanie? | ||
They laughed and they shook my hand. | ||
unidentified
|
People walked up to me like I knew you were going to do it. | |
And then they took me. | ||
Oh you Tim. | ||
Oh you know you. | ||
And I was I was somebody asked me and they said something like don't you | ||
think this is the one thing you could wear a suit for. | ||
And I said whoa whoa whoa hey hey hey hey. | ||
This is America. | ||
America's a country that was founded on the pioneers who told the wealthy, the nobles, the monarchs, all those people to shove it. | ||
And I was like, so I take pride in the fact that I can go to the White House and wear whatever I want. | ||
And they were like, here, here. | ||
Well, here's to you. | ||
So here's to you. | ||
We're now at a time where, I mean, maybe some of them were offended, you know, but like, it was all laughs from everyone I saw. | ||
They were like, that's Tim. | ||
Oh, you crazy guy. | ||
Like the madman did it. | ||
I can't believe it. | ||
You didn't wear a suit. | ||
And I was like, I'm my own man. | ||
So I'm not going to, I'm not going to, you know, I'm not going to join a pitchfork mob to go after an artist. | ||
Right. | ||
And so it's, it's funny too, because they, these people constantly try to use pictures of me sitting down with like other alt-right people. | ||
And it's like, it's a dig against me. | ||
And I'm like, you realize, like, I was there when they took the picture, like, I knew they were taking a picture of me. | ||
They think it's some kind of dig at me that makes me mad. | ||
They post pictures of me. | ||
There's like a picture of me with a shoe in my head or something. | ||
And I'm like, it's like a 4chan meme. | ||
And then they're like, look at this picture of this idiot. | ||
And I'm like, you realize I posted that picture? | ||
It's like, what don't you get? | ||
What jerk put this online? | ||
I don't care. | ||
But here's the reality, look. | ||
With all due respect to this great artist, when they came after her, she immediately unfollows them. | ||
Oh, no, no, no. | ||
Yeah, I didn't know that. | ||
It's like, come on, come on, Therese. | ||
I think they say it. | ||
I got your back. | ||
You're an amazing artist. | ||
She also followed, I guess, what does it say? | ||
She followed Stefan Molyneux, as if it matters. | ||
She also was found to have liked a number of racist tweets. | ||
They're not even really racist. | ||
I don't even know what they're talking about. | ||
Whatever. | ||
Oh my. | ||
But when all this was brought to light, she unfollowed many of those accounts and unliked | ||
unidentified
|
Oh no. | |
the offending tweets. | ||
However, the controversy would not die down, and it resurfaced a year later in 2019, at | ||
which time she issued a long statement. | ||
Being excommunicated from a community and ostracized by family for following my convictions | ||
is not new to me. | ||
The magic community has blessed me and taught me in a myriad of ways in the past 25 years. | ||
I embrace the fact that many different viewpoints can do and should coexist. | ||
In these stressful times, it is my intent to navigate in harmony with my core values—beauty, compassion, love—to the best of my ability without any need or desire to stifle, censor, or demean another for differently held viewpoints. | ||
That's respectable. | ||
Solid. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Many found her statement vague and underwhelming. | ||
I agree with that as well. | ||
It is a bit vague. | ||
Yeah, okay. | ||
I could see that also. | ||
Especially because it didn't address her alleged trans-exclusionary beliefs. | ||
Oh, for... | ||
Nielsen later posted a second statement celebrating Pride Month, saying, Just a few months later, her work ended up on the racist, QAnon, and conspiracy-focused YouTube channel Edge of Wonder. | ||
For the record, I support human rights, trans rights, gay rights, as well as religious freedom | ||
and the sacredness of life in all forms." | ||
Just a few months later, her work ended up on the racist, QAnon and conspiracy-focused | ||
YouTube channel Edge of Wonder. | ||
The show posted a video on July 12, 2019, in which the co-host present art prints that | ||
Nielsen had gifted them. | ||
She dare gave someone art as an artist. | ||
She gave them a gift. | ||
She's gifted art for so long. | ||
I've seen stuff. | ||
I've been interested in getting some of her art because it really is really good. | ||
So what does it say? | ||
They're calling her a TERF. | ||
We hear you, Bayer said Thursday, the implication of his words that the last product that will have any reprint art from Nielsen will be Zendikar Rising. | ||
Combined with the fact that they haven't commissioned any new art from her in a while, It's that is that Wizards has stopped working with Nielsen | ||
and will cease printing cards with her art When hipsters reached out to Wizards for confirmation, they | ||
declined declined to comment further. I think it might be time for me to cease my | ||
Playing magic and buying new magic products. This is a red line for me, man | ||
The jump start that they're they're coming out with they're the double masters thing. They're coming out | ||
They're just shoving cards like collectors are pissed. I i've seen I follow a lot of collectors on instagram. They're | ||
quitting They're like, we're done. I'm done trying to, you know, | ||
All the old cards they're collecting, they're reprinting. | ||
So the value is dropping, crashing. | ||
So the aftermarket is being busted. | ||
They're just selling these products to make money. | ||
That's it. | ||
They just want money. | ||
And it's Hasbro now owns them. | ||
It's like they're just shoving this product and people are buying it. | ||
But I don't think they should buy it anymore. | ||
I really think we should quit playing Magic. | ||
Just quit? | ||
Should we quit? | ||
I think we should quit. | ||
I have a massive collection. | ||
People are like, oh, you and Tim should play Magic. | ||
And I was like, oh, do people want to do it? | ||
People seem to want to see us play, but honestly... I didn't... We've been working on our own... Feels like a waste of my time. | ||
We've been working on our own card game that we wanted to do kind of like a tabletop that could be popped out of the box and anyone could just play. | ||
For those that aren't familiar with Magic, there's like 20,000 cards, a bunch of different formats. | ||
There's a secondary market where cards have ridiculous values in the thousands of dollars, potentially, down to like 50 cents. | ||
I think we should. | ||
We don't want to make, we want to make something more fun and simple. | ||
There's a lot of games like this that are just like you pull the deck out of the | ||
box and it's just like a deck of cards. | ||
But I think maybe we really need to quit magic and make a more fun. | ||
I think we should just, and to get away from their insanity and we can hire this | ||
artist. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You got an artist you can talk to. | ||
But this is spreading. | ||
This whole thing is spreading. | ||
Let's talk about the stepmom. | ||
Oh, yeah, dude. | ||
So we got another article here. | ||
You want to read this one? | ||
Yeah, sure. | ||
You want to pull it up? | ||
Yeah, pull it up. | ||
Stepmother of the Atlanta cop charged with shooting Dade Raishan Brooks is fired for her job as a mortgage company's HR director because of employees creating a hostile working environment. | ||
So her employees aren't creating the hostile work environment? | ||
Oh, let's read about it. | ||
You know what I think she did? | ||
What? | ||
I think she defended her son. | ||
Yeah, probably. | ||
And they were like, how dare you? | ||
How dare you defend your son? | ||
That would make sense to me. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That would be controversial. | ||
Let's see. | ||
Garrett Rolfe's stepmother, Melissa Rolfe, had her employment at the Atlanta-based Equity Prime Mortgage terminated this week. | ||
The company said Melissa, an HR director, had violated company policy and created an uncomfortable and hostile working environment. | ||
They said the violations came as Melissa was transitioning to a leave of absence granted by | ||
the firm. It is not clear what Melissa said or did to warrant her firing. Melissa apparently wrote | ||
to Georgia congressional candidate Marjorie Taylor Green calling what is happening to her stepson | ||
nonsense. News of Melissa's firing came just hours after Rolfe was taken into custody after being | ||
charged with felony murder over Brooks' death over a week ago. The sins of the father. This is what | ||
they do in authoritarian and communist... | ||
Freedom of speech is dying right in front of our eyes. | ||
It's dead, come on. | ||
It's not dead. | ||
It's on life support. | ||
We're still here right now. | ||
Yep. | ||
This would have been shut off if it was dead. | ||
People don't want us talking like this. | ||
No, I think freedom of speech has... It's dying. | ||
It's not dead yet. | ||
I think it is dead. | ||
Okay. | ||
Can you say... Are there things you can say right now that would result in this video being taken down? | ||
Yep. | ||
I mean, we're on... We've talked about social media. | ||
We talked about it. | ||
We can't say certain words and you're like, I don't say those words. | ||
You can't say someone's name. | ||
So you, you know, it's not bending the knee, but it's tilting slightly towards YouTube. | ||
It's the same thing. | ||
So, you know, what's the difference? | ||
In my circumstance, there's not much I could say that would get me banned. | ||
Because my opinions are rather moderate. | ||
There are opinions you can have that you would be banned for instantly. | ||
And yet there's words you can say. | ||
You know you can't insult veterans on YouTube. | ||
Really? | ||
You can't insult veterans. | ||
unidentified
|
Huh. | |
What do you mean? | ||
How do you mean? | ||
Like insult them? | ||
You can't. | ||
It's hate speech. | ||
They call them a name? | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
Or if you were to say something negative about veterans, YouTube will strike your channel. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
You can't criticize someone for their immigration status. | ||
Okay. | ||
There's no free speech. | ||
Free speech would be Now, we recognize under the Supreme Court there are limits to speech, and I believe it's fair to say, like, telling someone to go do something and then they go, like, commit a crime. | ||
Incitement, yeah. | ||
Incitement is a limit. | ||
Expressing your political beliefs, no matter how detestable, is free speech. | ||
Yeah. | ||
YouTube doesn't allow that. | ||
So if you, I'll put it this way. | ||
If free speech is a range of opinions from negative 10 to positive 10, and you're only allowed negative 10 to positive 2, it's not free speech. | ||
That's true. | ||
An entire quadrant has been purged from YouTube. | ||
Someone in the comments said it's on life support. | ||
Yes. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's pretty accurate. | ||
It's kind of like, you know, where it's a scene from Star Wars where the room's closing in, they crush them, and we're like, no! | ||
The trash compactor. | ||
And right now we've got the beam, like, stopping it from crushing us for the time being. | ||
We just need R2-D2 to turn it off. | ||
But we don't have an R2-D2. | ||
R2-D2, where are you? | ||
Somebody turn the trash compactor off, please. | ||
It's not so much about free speech in this story, even, I think. | ||
The free speech we're granted right now is... I think this. | ||
I think free speech is completely dead. | ||
And what's happening is YouTube allows us to do this to make sure there's not an overreaction when they go for the final crushing blow against freedom. | ||
Right, because they don't want the majority of people that still believe it exists to find out that it doesn't exist anymore because they'll be like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
And so what they do is... Slowly but surely. | ||
It's a story I've told about eBay, how they changed from yellow to white. | ||
Exactly. | ||
Everybody got really angry. | ||
So then what they did was every day they added one more shade closer to white and the background over one year turned from yellow to white without anyone realizing it because it was so slow and gradual. | ||
That's what they need to be careful of. | ||
So when Google banned the Federalist the other day, so basically for those who aren't familiar, | ||
NBC News contacted Google and said, look at these offensive articles from the Federalist. | ||
Google then issued a statement to them saying, we have banned the Federalist, a mainstream | ||
conservative website. | ||
That was a red line. | ||
And all of a sudden, the entire internet was lighting up. | ||
It was crazy. | ||
Trump Jr. | ||
was like, wheel him in. | ||
They've got to make—force him to testify. | ||
And then Google immediately backtracked. | ||
No, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
We didn't—we didn't—we—no, no, no. | ||
We just were talking about their comments, and they're not banned. | ||
They're rectifying the situation. | ||
So Google wanted to do it. | ||
And they realized they went a little too hard causing a backlash. | ||
They did four shades too soon. | ||
Right. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Right now, Facebook has a new version, which you've seen the new Facebook version. | ||
I can't stand it. | ||
It's awful. | ||
It's awful. | ||
But they know that if they do it all at once, every single user will screech and then they'll have a problem. | ||
So what they do is they do pockets. | ||
They actually changed Facebook for me and then a week later changed it back. | ||
Really? | ||
Yeah. | ||
I think I know why. | ||
I stopped using it. | ||
I mean, I barely use Facebook myself. | ||
Once it changed, it was just awful. | ||
I stopped using it, not on purpose, just because it wasn't convenient anymore. | ||
And then one day I came back and it was normal. | ||
And I was like, whoa. | ||
So I wonder if they thought the same thing. | ||
Oops, too far, too much, too much, better calm down, better slow down. | ||
So that's what we're seeing right now with free speech. | ||
YouTube, Twitter, I think they want to ban all of this stuff. | ||
And the reason they haven't banned me yet from YouTube is because they don't want people freaking out just yet. | ||
That's true. | ||
So I don't know, man, if Trump wins re-election, will they finally just be like, okay, we'll wait another four years and try and win? | ||
It's crazy to me that they're willing to blow everything up to try and stop Trump from winning another four years when they could just wait four years and then run their candidate and try and win when Trump can't run for re-election. | ||
Good point. | ||
They're insane. | ||
So yeah, I do think that it's only a matter of time. | ||
Look, if these companies are going to fire the family members of people involved in these stories, I think we're well past the point where speech is an issue. | ||
I think to them, they're like, Tim Poole is acceptable. | ||
He's the, like I was saying, the negative two to positive 10. | ||
Yeah, Tim Poole's a zero for the most part. | ||
Maybe a positive one because he rags on the Democrats so much. | ||
But he's nowhere near conservative like these other people. | ||
When I was on Crowder's show the other day, Crowder's much more opinionated and forceful on his view. | ||
Totally is. | ||
Yeah, I'm not. | ||
But they already demonetized him, didn't they? | ||
I think he's still demonetized for sure. | ||
I don't know what's going on with his business, but they demonetized a ton of other people. | ||
We saw Luke and Ariel get stripped from the Partner Program. | ||
True. | ||
So they're getting rid of their undesirables, but they need to keep a few people. | ||
Otherwise everyone would screech and panic. | ||
And then what they want to avoid is being hauled into the Senate hearings to testify. | ||
Although it doesn't do anything. | ||
So they're like, they know there's a line. | ||
For years, we have seen them continually push the line. | ||
Everything's getting worse. | ||
But it's never gotten so bad that they haul in these tech companies until they went up to the Federalist. | ||
And that was a big mistake. | ||
They took it one step too far, and now they may actually get hauled in to testify. | ||
And now the DOJ has released guidelines recently on what they have to do, what they should do, and how bills should be drafted to prevent censorship. | ||
I hope so. | ||
I feel like somebody was watching my video. | ||
Because one of the changes is that they would define objectionable content as unlawful. | ||
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
So what I've been saying about Section 230, which shields these big tech companies from liability, is that they should make it so that big tech companies, so long as they only remove content that's unlawful, then they're not liable for what is said. | ||
If they start removing political opinions, they should not be protected. | ||
Facebook is literally publishing editorials. | ||
So when I logged into Facebook today, I got a big thing about the importance of Black Lives Matter. | ||
That's a publisher! | ||
And so if the New York Times, sue them for what they publish. | ||
Now you can still argue, we're in a comment section, so they still could be protected. | ||
But they should be placed in a different bracket. | ||
Facebook's actually argued legally that they are both a publisher and a platform before. | ||
And people don't realize that New York Times is a publisher, but their comment section | ||
That's section 230. | ||
So if Facebook and Instagram publish stuff, and they do, like if you go to the search tab of Instagram, you will get a Black Lives Matter taking up 30, 40% of your screen. | ||
It doesn't matter, because the rest of the content is comments. | ||
It's a user-generated section. | ||
So they're going to get away with it. | ||
And maybe the DOJ changes will come through. | ||
I really don't think so. | ||
Has any Republican come up and stood on the floor yelling about the destruction of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Has the Democrats called to remove Jefferson from the city council chamber? | ||
Has any politician said this is outrageous that they would try and remove one of our presidents? | ||
No idea. | ||
Think about how insane that is. | ||
But the first thing I heard from France is what you just told me. | ||
Nope. | ||
Yeah. | ||
We're not getting rid of anything. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Good luck. | ||
Try it. | ||
No compromise. | ||
Wow. | ||
France said that. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's like those cheese eating surrender monkeys. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, right. | |
That's probably hate speech, to be honest. | ||
No doubt. | ||
Maybe. | ||
But it's a French, come on. | ||
No, that's a joke from, I think, Simpsons. | ||
I think so, too. | ||
Yeah, it's a Simpsons joke. | ||
That's the funny thing about where we're at right now is I always wonder why it is that Therese Nielsen will be, you know, this artist will be canceled because she followed somebody, but Seth MacFarlane is like heralded as this great, you know, liberal. | ||
It's like, the dude still makes racist jokes. | ||
All the time. | ||
unidentified
|
All. | |
The. | ||
Time. | ||
Every single episode of Family Guy. | ||
It's like a bread and butter dude. | ||
I mean, dude, Family Guy and American Dad. | ||
Yeah. | ||
American Dad's premise is very much like the U.S. | ||
war in the Middle East. | ||
Right. | ||
And it was supposed to be like making fun of the neocon family, I guess? | ||
Well, it's okay if you're over in the left area. | ||
Because Seth MacFarlane is very much on the left, you know? | ||
I follow him. | ||
He's outspoken. | ||
Yup. | ||
And he does call out SJWs. | ||
He does. | ||
Family Guy's got numerous jokes ragging on cancel culture. | ||
But I feel like he doesn't do enough. | ||
And he avoids it probably because he likes being rich and he doesn't want to stick his neck out. | ||
That's one of the curses of American individualism. | ||
There's no community bond anymore. | ||
Absolutely true. | ||
Yeah. | ||
There's no community there. | ||
They just toppled George Washington Jefferson and where any of these people to be like, stop that. | ||
I'll say it a million times. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You know, but comedians. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I'd be willing to bet Joe Rogan would call it crazy. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Probably has. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I wonder about Dave Chappelle, though. | ||
I wonder about, you know, these these bigger media companies definitely won't think about how insane that is. | ||
Jimmy Kimmel. | ||
Right. | ||
He won't say anything. | ||
No. | ||
He'll get cancelled. | ||
Colbert won't say anything. | ||
They'll come after him. | ||
John Oliver won't say anything. | ||
Yep. | ||
They're rich. | ||
They're rich, and their jokes must be in line with what the outrage mob demands, and they'll cave in two seconds. | ||
So now you can have, in the United States of America, the flag being burned is one thing, but people throwing ropes over statues and destroying them is like, wow, we're really at this point. | ||
And then you see what happened in New Mexico, and that guy shows up with a gun, don't destroy our statues, and they attack him. | ||
They threaten his life, they beat him. | ||
He shoots the guy several times, they drop the charges. | ||
He may get charged again, but it looks like the dude's holding a knife. | ||
So I'll tell you, man, we had the guys in South Philly. | ||
It's only a matter of time before Americans say the law isn't... You know what? | ||
I wouldn't be surprised if the police get abolished. | ||
You know why? | ||
Why? | ||
Why is it that South Philly residents had to defend that statue and the police didn't do it? | ||
What are the police for if they know they're coming to destroy public property and the cops are like, we're just gonna stand back? | ||
The police aren't being protected right now, they're being blamed. | ||
If you ask anybody, no no no, it's their fault, they started this. | ||
And it's like, they. | ||
So all cops, every single one, wants to kill any minority. | ||
It's like, come on, that is not the truth. | ||
But statues. | ||
You'd think the cops could stand around a statue and stop it from being toppled, right? | ||
You would think. | ||
They're not even trying. | ||
They're probably ordered to stand down. | ||
They're probably ordered to not go. | ||
Exactly. | ||
So the issue then is, why would conservatives support the police that are enforcing unconstitutional orders with the lockdown, refusing to protect public property? | ||
and isn't it all in democratic cities so they're mostly down the chain of command you got the mayor | ||
who's like you're not going i'm gonna call the police chief you guys are not going or you're | ||
gone i'm gonna i'm out you're gone if if you don't follow what i'm saying right now and it's like | ||
quit then They are. | ||
They are quitting. | ||
Yeah, they are. | ||
Yeah, they are. | ||
The Democratic cities. | ||
And it makes sense. | ||
Oh, you're gonna love this. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, what? | |
The surrounding jurisdictions of Atlanta have started posting... Don't call us. | ||
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
They started posting job openings. | ||
Oh, really? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
How weird. | ||
Wow. | ||
Why, I wonder. | ||
It's like, hey, you need a job? | ||
Like, yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
The surrounding suburbs and towns were like, we'll take you. | ||
Yeah, we're hyenas. | ||
Yeah, you guys told me they were fine. | ||
Wow. | ||
Yeah, dude. | ||
Well, here's what I think's gonna happen. | ||
these activists are announcing they're going to do it and they show up and the cops don't do | ||
anything about it for whatever reason so how long until we get a bunch of armed guys like paramilitary | ||
or militia standing guard and guarding monuments and statues i mean i can't believe that we haven't | ||
seen it yet you you want a conversation on the about these dudes, somewhat. | ||
You wanna have a conversation about these dudes in South Philly with Christopher Columbus? | ||
I kind of roll my eyes, I'm like, I'm not a Columbus fan. | ||
Nah, he's not a founding father. | ||
Listen. | ||
Yeah, I agree. | ||
America and the colonies is not the same thing as what the founding fathers represented. | ||
The colonies were European colonial, you know, adventurism and things like this. | ||
The Founding Fathers was an ideological shift about the equal rights of the individuals, the rights to self-governance, and it was a change away from the... Like, dare I say, to use the language of these people, the Founding Fathers opposed the colonial mindset in a sense. | ||
They wanted people to be free and have their own space and mind their own business. | ||
Good point. | ||
The Gadsden flag is literally, don't tread on me. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Now, to be fair, we still had a bunch of, you know, lands being seized by Native Americans. | ||
It's not like these were, you know, these people didn't have their hypocrisy about them. | ||
But it was an ideological shift. | ||
So what happened before, people like Christopher Columbus and these other, you know, conquistadors and preachers, before the colonies was a very, very different mindset. | ||
And mind you, hundreds of years, hundreds! | ||
Hundreds of years have gone by. | ||
1492 Christopher Columbus to 1776. | ||
That's a long time, man. | ||
That's a big difference. | ||
That's a seriously big difference. | ||
But anyway, here's the point. | ||
When I see people defending Christopher Columbus for all his faults, and he did not create this country, I think that's very, very interesting. | ||
Now they're toppling Jefferson and Washington. | ||
If these people came out to Philly, I'd imagine, and tried to go after icons of independence, I'd imagine you might see some dead people. | ||
That's what I said weeks ago. | ||
I'm worried. | ||
I know. | ||
I'm worried about it, because they're going to finally meet Americans that are like, You're not shredding on me. | ||
So what happens then when we watch the politicians destroy our monuments in our own city hall? | ||
I don't live in New York anymore, but... Well, New York is a... is a mess. | ||
A democratic city run by Democrats. | ||
Are there patriots in New York? | ||
de Blasio is a joke. | ||
He is a joke. | ||
Well, Nancy Pelosi is having them take all the pictures of slave owners out of the historical hall in the White House, right? | ||
No, you're technically correct. | ||
She's just having them remove pictures of Democrats. | ||
Yeah, I know. | ||
I know that. | ||
I was going to throw that out next, but I mean, they're all slave owners and they're going. | ||
Yeah, they were all Democrats. | ||
Yeah, that's hilarious. | ||
So that's the joke. | ||
She's like, Confederate pictures must be removed. | ||
And then the Republicans were like, so you're removing the Democrats. | ||
And they are. | ||
Yeah, they sure are. | ||
All of them. | ||
Newsflash. | ||
Democrats want us segregated. | ||
Well, to be fair, The actual Democratic voters agree with it. | ||
Like, so when someone pointed out that I saw this post on Twitter, there's a big thread about it. | ||
Somebody posted, haha, so they're removing pictures of Democrats. | ||
The progressive Democrats were like, yes, they they're admitting the mistakes and they're getting rid of it. | ||
Good for them. | ||
And I'm like, OK, you know what I mean? | ||
So it's like, it's funny. | ||
They're Democrats getting rid of it. | ||
I like the meme of, you know, the video of them taking down, and then they show, like, the picture of the old white dude, whatever, and it's Nancy Pelosi's face on it. | ||
I was like, oh, that's good. | ||
I didn't see that one. | ||
It's a good meme. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's really good. | ||
I gotta look it up. | ||
I can't believe I missed a meme. | ||
Carrying her away, I'm like, yes! | ||
Get out. | ||
Please let it be true. | ||
Seriously. | ||
So, we definitely gotta do Super Chats now. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
However... Oh, wow, we're running late. | ||
We are running late, but this show is gonna be longer, so for those that are watching, we've got... This is gonna go long. | ||
It's Friday. | ||
This is the, uh... Here we go. | ||
Transition of power. | ||
Harumph! | ||
We've got five boards we're giving away. | ||
Harumph! | ||
We are giving these boards away. | ||
So we're gonna go through memes. | ||
Meme review. | ||
We are, we are gonna do some meme reviews. | ||
Meme reviews. | ||
Is that, does PewDiePie still do that? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't know if he does this other thing. | ||
I've actually never watched any of his videos. | ||
You're kind of missing out. | ||
I like it. | ||
So we're gonna read Super Chats now. | ||
Then we're gonna do the meme contest. | ||
We've got a bunch of really great memes. | ||
One of them is so incredible. | ||
Oh man. | ||
It's so good. | ||
Like, this is crazy how good it is. | ||
unidentified
|
It's amazing. | |
It's so good. | ||
We're gonna make posters of it. | ||
We are gonna make posters of this and I want it on my wall. | ||
It's beautiful. | ||
We should probably sell them or give them out. | ||
Stay tuned. | ||
After Super Chats, we're gonna show you the memes. | ||
We have them all pulled up. | ||
You'll see all the memes. | ||
They're great. | ||
And then we're closing out the Friday night show as we normally do with some jam sessions. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
So before we do that, before we do this, smash the like button. | ||
Smash, smash, smash. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
Yes. | ||
Don't break your phone because we don't break the phone. | ||
That was actually me. | ||
Someone memed that a broken phone. | ||
Very nice. | ||
It was great. | ||
I don't know if we have that one pulled up, but it was funny. | ||
unidentified
|
That's awesome. | |
Alright, let's read some Super Chats. | ||
Yeah, let's do it. | ||
This one just popped up and it's very relevant. | ||
Nanashi No Name says, Magic the Gathering was indeed the first trading card game that came out. | ||
Richard Garfield was trying to publish a board game, but was told it looked too expensive to produce and expressed interest in a more faster playing game that is more portable. | ||
Very cool. | ||
Very interesting. | ||
All right, so let's see. | ||
Let's just jump to the beginning and read some of these chats. | ||
Cole says, with everything going on, I've never been more afraid to be white. | ||
How is this justice to some people? | ||
This isn't what our country is about. | ||
It's about spinning the UFO. | ||
Oh, very, very clever. | ||
Very true. | ||
I love it, though. | ||
Historical precedent. | ||
It is. | ||
I am free to spin this UFO. | ||
That's right. | ||
Fractal says, Tim, did you see the video Trump posted yesterday that got fact checked for being manipulated? | ||
Even though, wait, it said in the video, basically, the video was totally removed. | ||
Yeah, it got removed, too. | ||
I retweeted it. | ||
It was hilarious. | ||
They always do this. | ||
They go after Trumps. | ||
It was so good! | ||
Man, it was funny. | ||
And CNN was immediately going, we are here to report this is not actually the video. | ||
It has been doctored. | ||
He doctored that video. | ||
That is not what we said. | ||
That is not what we reported. | ||
There was a Twitter moment that said, Trump video doctored, journalists confirm. | ||
Yes. | ||
I was real! | ||
unidentified
|
Did they not watch the whole video? | |
They must not have watched it! | ||
If your mind is drug addled and you are hunched over and unhealthy and your brain doesn't work and you're sitting there like drooling, you need someone to confirm to you whether or not a joke skit video is real or not. | ||
It's insane. | ||
It was a trap. | ||
It was the perfect trap. | ||
Death is Eternal says, Hi Tim, Adam, and Liz. | ||
Thank you for all that you do, but I want to speak up as well and do my part for my home. | ||
Michiganders, July 4th in Lansing. | ||
A petition will be passed around to remove Whitmer. | ||
Spread the word. | ||
Love you. | ||
Do it. | ||
So, are any of you going to be playing Sony's newly released golfing simulator, The Last of Us, uh, The Last of, uh, of 2, Joel in 1? | ||
I am, I have zero, I have, I have a negative interest in The Last of Us 2. | ||
You wanna, you wanna know why? | ||
I don't care about it. | ||
You wanna know what I heard about this game? | ||
What? | ||
I heard that it's meh. | ||
I heard, I heard it's crap. | ||
Well, no, but that's, I don't, I don't believe that. | ||
No? | ||
I believe it's probably just eh. | ||
So, all the big companies are going, it's a masterpiece! | ||
10 out of 10! | ||
Best game! | ||
Smash that! | ||
10 out of 10! | ||
And then you get a lot of people saying that it's really, really bad. | ||
It's a 3 out of 10. | ||
The user data is like 3.5 out of 10 right now, I think. | ||
But the people I know, that I trust, have said, it's okay. | ||
It's not really that great. | ||
Like, I wouldn't call it a bad game. | ||
It's just, it's got amazing graphics, but it's certainly no masterpiece. | ||
Yeah, the game developers are really losing touch with what gamers really want. | ||
Well, it's because... well, look at Magic. | ||
That's a good point. | ||
Why are you banning art and game function? | ||
It's ridiculous. | ||
It's the cult taking over. | ||
And you know what? | ||
There is still kind of like... I don't want to call it a light at the end of the tunnel or an open window because it's still bad, but when all of this collapses and all these businesses go completely under, Then we start back over and rebuild the things that we like. | ||
We still have From Software. | ||
We still have what? | ||
From Software. | ||
What's that? | ||
My favorite game company. | ||
They're amazing. | ||
Look, are people going to keep playing Magic after they do all these weird and wacky changes and ban things and get creepy and scary? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't know either. | ||
Just ban magic. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, just get it over with. | ||
You made it racist, magic wizards. | ||
Wizards, you made it racist. | ||
You want to know something though? | ||
You ruined it for me. | ||
You want to know something? | ||
What? | ||
The first time I had played it in years was when you first got here and you had your commander decks and I was like, oh yeah, let's play. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Let me try and find out where my cards are. | ||
I don't even know where I put them. | ||
Yeah, that's true. | ||
The reason why I stopped buying and playing was because wizards banned a shop because someone put a little tech flag in a flower pot. | ||
That's ridiculous. | ||
And I was like, listen man. | ||
A meme? | ||
Yeah, and my point was this. | ||
When I go to a shop to have my goblin fight a vampire, I do not want to talk about the merits of intersectional feminism. | ||
Seriously? | ||
Yeah. | ||
So please. | ||
I'm trying to get away from that. | ||
Right. | ||
And so when I started doing that, I was like, I don't even want to go to these shops anymore. | ||
I don't even want to play. | ||
And so I just put my cards in the corner and forgot where they were. | ||
Well, yeah, and that one time we went, it was, like, uncomfortable. | ||
Uncomfortably intersectional. | ||
Explain. | ||
Oh, dude, yeah, they had a... yeah, you go for it. | ||
Okay, so they had, like, a safe space flag in the window. | ||
Like, legit, like, if you are worried about getting your feelings hurt, you can come here, and we will take care of you and protect your precious little feelings. | ||
And I was like, I feel like I'm in Social Justiceville up in here. | ||
And this is not the way it's supposed to be. | ||
I'm just supposed to be with a bunch of nerds. | ||
Can we cancel participation trophies yet? | ||
Yeah, that would be nice. | ||
Can we get rid of that? | ||
I mean, that's not necessarily the... It's one part of the problem. | ||
Well, I'll tell you this. | ||
When I see a store and they've got a big banner that says safe space with like a fist or whatever. | ||
Dude, yeah. | ||
Dude, it did not feel safe in that building. | ||
I'm sure. | ||
It felt weird. | ||
Cult-like and creepy. | ||
Yep. | ||
And it was like... | ||
The shops I used to hang out at, I knew the shop owner. | ||
You'd walk in and they'd be like, what up? | ||
What do you need? | ||
You walk into these shops and they're just like zombie blank faces. | ||
And they're just like NPCs with no interactions. | ||
The crazy thing about the shop is they didn't have singles. | ||
They only had boosters and pre-cons. | ||
Well, that's where boosters or single cards, it's too, you can't make money, especially when they're doing this jumpstart thing, which is like 90% reprints. | ||
Man. | ||
So like, I mean, I wouldn't have any interest in it anyway. | ||
I have all the cards. | ||
I have them already. | ||
I've been playing for 25 years. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
Let's read some more Super Chats. | ||
Tyler says, What do you think of Bret Weinstein's recommendation of Andrew Yank and William H. McRaven independent ticket to begin the process of saving our nation? | ||
They are both respectable, intelligent people with a good history of competence. | ||
I would vote for them. | ||
I don't know who they are. | ||
But I do trust Brett, so if he's saying these people are smart... Well, it's Andrew Yang. | ||
They misspelled it. | ||
Oh, Andrew Yang. | ||
You know who Andrew Yang is, right? | ||
Right, yeah. | ||
No, but that's who he was talking about. | ||
Must be Yang. | ||
It is, yeah. | ||
I don't know if I would go for Yang at this point. | ||
He's played ball too much with these people. | ||
I don't trust him. | ||
He's on a news network now. | ||
He's on CNN, right? | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
There was a period where I thought it was great that he was like, giving sensible ideas and he was very moderate. | ||
And now he's just been playing ball, supporting Biden. | ||
That's too bad. | ||
No, no, no, no, no. | ||
unidentified
|
Sorry. | |
Hate to see it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Kevin Brown says, I've been warning people for four years of the upcoming civil war, but I swore up and down it was going to be the authoritarian far right who would burn the books, films, and art. | ||
I was so wrong. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
I'd have thought that in the 90s, but it's changed. | |
Jared says, are you ever going to have guests like Crowder does? | ||
I know you lean left, but people like Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, but like people? | ||
It seems they are willing to come on and you can tell them to stand up to these fools. | ||
Uh, yeah, we have guests. | ||
I think, so we've got a big project in the works where we're going to be expanding. | ||
We're going to have a much bigger set and everything like this. | ||
Expansion is upon us. | ||
Big things are coming. | ||
There's a lot of work involved. | ||
So we may be able to announce it in a month, but we may not be ready to go for three months, maybe. | ||
Maybe then the ridiculous fake lockdown stuff will be over. | ||
So, you know, and then it'll be easier. | ||
But dude, I would love to have Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. | ||
Rand Paul was the first guest I pitched. | ||
When Tim was like, you're going to be doing some of the guest coordination, I was like, you're going to have Rand Paul? | ||
I'm like, yeah, if you make it happen. | ||
Can we do it? | ||
Rand Paul's awesome. | ||
Do you think we can get Rand Paul? | ||
That would be awesome. | ||
I was like, he's so busy, but that'd be so neat. | ||
I would be like, Ran, I only want one thing from you. | ||
What? | ||
No. | ||
No? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
He is no Jun- Dr. No, Jr. | ||
Yes, his tiny gavel. | ||
You know Ron Paul, his dad? | ||
Dr. No. | ||
He just said no to everything. | ||
It's like, I don't care what it- No. | ||
That's what Ran does. | ||
unidentified
|
The answer's no. | |
How about we get a no? | ||
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
Can we get a little bit of funny? | ||
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
No. | ||
No. | ||
No, but Rand Paul's obstruction is... Can I get a little no? | ||
Yeah, you can. | ||
It worked! | ||
You Bugs Bunny'd me. | ||
But Rand Paul's obstruction is usually principled for a lot of important reasons. | ||
I absolutely respect it. | ||
For the record, I would have accepted no as an answer. | ||
Aaron Garcia says, never had a Twitter account. | ||
I just downloaded Parlay. | ||
Let's see what happens. | ||
Parler is a pro-Trump company, but it's like Twitter and a bunch of conservatives go there and a lot of the people who are banned have large followings there. | ||
Okay. | ||
My question is, you know, early today, Brad Parscale, I think it was today, Brad Parscale, who is the, he's the campaign manager for Trump, right? | ||
He said, you know, Twitter's end is coming or something like this. | ||
Twitter's days are numbered and then linked to Parlay. | ||
And I'm like, okay, great. | ||
Are you going to convince Trump to finally actively post there instead? | ||
Because that would be a huge impact. | ||
The moment that Trump posts a policy or position onto an alternative platform, the media is forced to cover it. | ||
True and then what are they gonna do about it and actually I read an article about Twitter was I don't know if this | ||
True you you'll actually know more about this but in 2016 Twitter wasn't doing very well. Oh, they were only 50 | ||
I was really by 16. They were they were running out like it could have gone really bad for them | ||
Trump Trump started tweeting he became the president and then Twitter is now a huge Twitter | ||
Yep, because of Trump. | ||
Because of Trump. | ||
His tweets are on TV, his followers are joining like crazy. | ||
He changes the stock market. | ||
When I went to the White House, it was somebody asked, will you join an alternative social media network? | ||
And he says, which one? | ||
And then no one said anything. | ||
Oh my gosh, that was your chance. | ||
And I was with Bill Ottman of Mines. | ||
Tim! | ||
And he was the CEO. | ||
unidentified
|
I was sitting next to Bill, and I'm like, Bill, yell Mines. | |
I'm like, Bill, yell Mines. | ||
Did you jab him? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, just yell it. | ||
That was your chance, Bill. | ||
Yeah, but he tried. | ||
By the way, happy birthday, Bill. | ||
Is it his birthday? | ||
No. | ||
It's somebody's birthday. | ||
You wished Bill a happy birthday yesterday. | ||
We wished everyone a happy birthday. | ||
And then hashtag happy birthday Bill started trending. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
Wait, trending? | ||
Such power. | ||
Well, I saw people doing it. | ||
Oh, you mean in the chat. | ||
Yeah, trending in our chat. | ||
That's trending, all right? | ||
We're top quality here. | ||
We are trending. | ||
Look at us. | ||
Alright, let's see what we got. | ||
Max says, essential service payday. | ||
Get a stream lab so I don't have to give YouTube money. | ||
Thanks guys. | ||
Yeah, we can set up stream labs. | ||
I think that can help because, you know, Adam and I were talking about that earlier. | ||
Harumph! | ||
A better way to do... How dare you! | ||
Oh, you mean a soundboard? | ||
You said that we can use the Streamlabs for the soundboard thing also. | ||
I'm pretty sure if we do Super Chats through Streamlabs, you will see them. | ||
I would like that. | ||
And we don't give YouTube that 35%. | ||
YouTube takes 35%. | ||
Don't say it too loud. | ||
Everybody knows. | ||
It's not a secret. | ||
I know, but I don't... YouTube will hear it and be like, hmm, maybe we should jump the gun on this one. | ||
You know what we'll do? | ||
We'll set it up literally after this. | ||
Actually, no, I've got to go to bed early because I've got a big day tomorrow. | ||
Yeah, it's a long... We're still going to be going for a while. | ||
We can tackle this shortly. | ||
Let's see, Nkari says, I am getting closer and closer to becoming Identitarian. | ||
The BLM stuff here in Sweden is not helping. | ||
I don't want to, but I feel the day I have become one is coming soon. | ||
That's exactly, that's their goal. | ||
They want that. | ||
They want us separated. | ||
They want us to remember that we're different. | ||
And it's like, no. | ||
Don't give in. | ||
We gotcha. | ||
Steve Smith says, hello comrades. | ||
If we aren't allowed to like founding fathers who had slaves, then I say we celebrate John Adams and his John Quincy Adams. | ||
I'm having some fan art commissioned. | ||
Smoke the good vitamins and SPUFO. | ||
I will. | ||
And actually on that note, so we're going to be doing the meme competition soon. | ||
We're going to give away winners. | ||
But on my Twitter page, you can go to the pinned tweet. | ||
And it is the art contest. | ||
So next Friday, we're going to give more boards away. | ||
Very cool. | ||
I'm excited. | ||
all the way up until the very end. We're gonna pick our favorites like we picked our favorite memes and if you like | ||
whatever one you want, the one with the most likes is gonna win also. So you can submit your art and we're gonna have | ||
another contest. | ||
So, very cool. I'm excited. | ||
I'm stoked. | ||
Grant Thomas says, co-worker asked me to read a book called Freakonomics. | ||
The book goes on to talk about the difference between causality and correlation. | ||
They assert that access to abortion is the number one determining factor for crime. | ||
It is drenched in progressivism. | ||
Cheers from Canada. | ||
Interesting. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Is that, so what, that access to abortion results in more crime? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't know anything about this. | ||
I gotta look it up. | ||
Or just less, less accountability in being human. | ||
I will order Freakonomics if you'd like to read it. | ||
Yeah, I would love to read it. | ||
I'll read it while I watch you guys skate. | ||
You tweeted something about some guy asking doctors and I just commented a little bit about what my perspective is on that. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's an interesting topic. | |
You're either on one side or the other side and it's like we're not even allowed to try to bridge and figure it out together. | ||
We should at least talk about it. | ||
I'm sick of that. | ||
And there is a lot of issues leading up to it, you know, but it's accountability. | ||
We got to remember, be accountable for actions. | ||
And that's, man, that can be applied to just everything right now. | ||
Yeah, absolutely. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
Villa Music Dude says, people need to hear this. | ||
Please read each if possible. | ||
My family history is ugly. | ||
My parents came from Yugoslavia. | ||
Years ago, we were under Ottoman Empire rule, enslaved from 14th to 18th century. | ||
The term slaves comes from Slav. | ||
Yep. | ||
Man, crazy. | ||
Crazy. | ||
My grandfather was in a Nazi camp in World War II. | ||
Hugo went communist. | ||
Each country wanted to be different for the sake of not being the other and went genocidal. | ||
No one fought for us. | ||
The US bombed it. | ||
FAM went to Canada and US. | ||
We made it out alive." | ||
unidentified
|
Man, crazy, crazy. | |
This is... people don't want to know history. | ||
Yeah, that's tough. | ||
They just want to know the things that fit their narrative. | ||
To give them what they want, to give them power. | ||
To give them the power. | ||
And that's what puts us in these positions in the first place. | ||
Aaron Swever says, this kind of stuff is why I've always taken to the high seas for my D&D stuff. | ||
Honestly, everything I sail for is because I refuse to give the company money for politics. | ||
I make sure to support those that I want to. | ||
And it's crazy too, because can't you like, you don't need them and their rules to play D&D. | ||
Not at all. | ||
Not in the slightest. | ||
They created D&D, and then anyone can play D&D at any time. | ||
You don't need to know anything about it at all. | ||
It's just making up a story. | ||
One person makes up a story, the rest of the people live the story. | ||
There's other games that are like this. | ||
It's where your friends hang out and someone, you know, it's like any other party game. | ||
You could compare it to a very high level game of charades. | ||
I guess. | ||
A little more complicated. | ||
It's very high level, right? | ||
All your friends are sitting around, one person does something and then you contribute to what is going on. | ||
You could literally play Dungeons & Dragons without any rules just by someone telling a story and then asking what you would do and making jokes. | ||
What did we call it yesterday? | ||
What did we change the name? | ||
Uh, diversity in dragons? | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
Diversity in dragons. | ||
The dungeons are classist. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
The dragons are cool. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Right. | ||
They have diversity. | ||
Diversity. | ||
So, I tweeted about us playing Magic, and I'd say about 40% of the comments were like, no, no, no, forget Magic, play Diversity in Dragons. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
I was like, well, maybe we should. | ||
The 20 roll. | ||
I know Ian's down. | ||
We can make it. | ||
He wants to be the DM. | ||
Diversity and dragons. | ||
We'll do that. | ||
In the coming months, we're going to be adding a lot of stuff to the cast network. | ||
I just came up with that. | ||
That's the cast network. | ||
It's not bad. | ||
I like it. | ||
I like it too. | ||
The Grizzly says, find different games that are worth your support. | ||
While I prefer games like RTSs, so Kings of War is my game, just in case Warhammer goes woke, it hasn't yet, but after D&D, I'm not taking any chance. | ||
Have fallbacks. | ||
You just gotta make a game that's called, like, Not Woke The Card Game. | ||
And it's, like, literally magic, but we're guaranteeing you know politics. | ||
We're talking about vampires. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
Vampire fights a werewolf. | ||
Or, like, true fantasy cards. | ||
All fantasy. | ||
As soon as you try to equate it to real life, you're out. | ||
No. | ||
One of the issues I actually had with Magic is that their themes are all fantasy for the most part. | ||
That's what I liked about it. | ||
But they could do more sci-fi. | ||
They could do not just fantasy. | ||
Like, when they did Innistrad, which is, for those that aren't familiar, it's like vampires, and it was like, what was it, like Victorian or colonial era? | ||
Victorian. | ||
Victorian? | ||
Yeah, I'd say. | ||
That's awesome! | ||
Yeah, it was cool. | ||
And it's very different from the knights in shining armor fighting, you know, the white knight versus, you know, the dragon. | ||
Yeah, I know a lot of people that started playing Magic because of that. | ||
Exactly. | ||
They were like, vampires? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, that's cool! | |
That's kind of cool, yeah. | ||
Even though they've been around since the very first set, but... | ||
But I was thinking, like, magic would function really well with even modern warfare themes. | ||
Yeah, you've been saying that for a while. | ||
Not the political woke culture war stuff, like... Right, yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Ugh. | |
Just tanks and whatever. | ||
Right. | ||
Soldiers, tanks, conflict, countries. | ||
Not even necessarily real stuff, but just more modern, you know, whatever. | ||
Yeah. | ||
All right, let's see what we got here. | ||
Villa Music Dude says, I'm first-generation American, one of the first in to be college-educated, and my dad worked so hard, sacrificed himself to give us opportunity. | ||
Our family has experienced communism, World War II, and genocide from Yugoslavia. | ||
What other sacrifices do I owe now? | ||
Hey, man. | ||
None. | ||
While my family history is not the same as yours, it's something I've been talking about for a while as these lunatics. | ||
gain power and repeal these laws. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I grew up hearing stories from my family, from my mom, about what it was like | ||
when it was illegal to be in a mixed race relationship. | ||
And it was like very lucky that I didn't have to grow up experiencing any of that. | ||
Or people that have worked, and have gotten out of situations that are truly terrible, | ||
that we don't realize how good it is here. | ||
And then people come here and like, this is life. | ||
That person down in Brazil who was laughing at you, like all americans are rich | ||
like what is they all have running water Yeah | ||
They all poop in toilets. | ||
Like what? | ||
We flush that clean, fresh water down the toilet. | ||
Quite literally. | ||
We got a good one here. | ||
Hold on. | ||
We got a good one here. | ||
Matt Wood says, since the far left is determined to get rid of anything they deem to be racist, | ||
why not cancel the DNC? | ||
Its origins and actions during the civil rights movement were inherently racist. | ||
Hold on. | ||
I'm not done. | ||
unidentified
|
OK. | |
Except the far left has called for this before anyone brought it up. | ||
Seriously. | ||
So it's not a joke. | ||
I think it's a good point. | ||
The progressives have literally said, abolish the DNC because they're racist. | ||
And someone posted this earlier, like, okay, Democrats, if you want to ban statues, how about we ban the Democrats? | ||
And all of the progressives and DSA people were like, yes, please. | ||
Thank you. | ||
So it's like, oh, they really do want to get rid of them. | ||
But then the DNC is like, oh, wait, we should squash that. | ||
No, I don't know if they're done. | ||
The DNC is completely crushed. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So I wouldn't be surprised if I mean, we'll see what happens, man. | ||
Everybody thinks they can read the future. | ||
But we're all we're all looking at, you know, I don't know. | ||
I don't think we we we think we know enough. | ||
Maybe we don't. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So all I can really say is this. | ||
If you think you're going to win, you're in for a rude awakening. | ||
You better get out there and vote. | ||
I know a lot of people who said they would never vote who are gearing up to vote. | ||
And it's weird. | ||
Vote and get into politics. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Take over. | ||
Take over. | ||
That's what we need. | ||
We need to take over. | ||
We need young people to actually run. | ||
People who care. | ||
They want to make a difference. | ||
Get into politics. | ||
Definitely. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
Let's see. | ||
What do we got here? | ||
Day9S says, there is a channel called Knowing Better. | ||
He has a video called In Defense of Columbus. | ||
He does a pretty good job of showing a balanced view of Columbus. | ||
I recommend it for people on both sides. | ||
Andrew Daniel says, I'm pitching the game companies right now for Tim Tim Pool, anti-communist skater. | ||
Science Man says... Wait, wait, send us a copy. | ||
Yeah, for sure. | ||
We'll play it. | ||
Try it out. | ||
Science Man says, I just finished my Kess CEDH deck, and I put like 2k over the years and it hurts, but I'm so close to selling it all. | ||
Kess is broken. | ||
What does Kess do? | ||
You can, during each of your turns, you can cast an incident sorcery from your graveyard. | ||
Oh, just, oh wow. | ||
Busted. | ||
You can choose any single one. | ||
Anything. | ||
So you can use Time Warp and have infinite turns. | ||
It's busted. | ||
No, no, no, so you can literally just play Time Warp and win? | ||
Well, I mean, it exiles from the grave. | ||
But you can have all the different ones that don't exile when you cast them. | ||
Eye of the Storm. | ||
Well, it's not... Yeah, that's a good point. | ||
You put Eye of the Storm out, you win. | ||
And then Bone. | ||
Again, broken. | ||
I love how extremely esoteric that was. | ||
People were like, I have no idea what they're talking about! | ||
But this was for this person who superchatted us. | ||
So, honor the superchat. | ||
Andrew Daniel says, it's basically Tony Hawk rebooted with Pooley's mad dunking on Soy Boys, and they have skate until you get to the Soy King, where you have to win by actually being a skater. | ||
Alright. | ||
Steve Smith says, what you don't hear, you don't hear anybody saying Hillary would be doing better right now. | ||
What would the world be like right now if she won? | ||
No, they are saying that. | ||
Somebody, somebody, there's a bunch of tweets about it. | ||
Today there were like 120,000 people would still be alive if Hillary was president. | ||
Oh yes, because she would use her witchcraft to stop the disease? | ||
No, because she's in cahoots with the Chinese. | ||
She would have known, she would have known what was going on and shut down the borders long before anything even happened. | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
Conspiracy! | ||
I don't know if that's true. | ||
What she'd really be doing is she'd be sitting over her cauldron saying, boil, boil, toil in trouble. | ||
I of Newton, whatever the rhyme is, I don't know. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
But then she would take, you know, like, you know, some some hair and like a pound of flesh. | ||
And then she'd go. | ||
And then the gas would erupt and then COVID would be gone. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yep. | ||
In a cloud of puff of smoke. | ||
She would hop on her broomstick and fly around the country cackling. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
Cackling. | ||
Because she really does cackle. | ||
Yes, she sure does. | ||
And she'd be spraying the potion all over the place and all the people would become cured and then NPCs. | ||
Right. | ||
They'd be like, I'm no longer sick. | ||
Vote Democrat. | ||
Cured and complacent. | ||
Cured and complacent. | ||
Yeah, man. | ||
Tom Matlock says, hey Tim, can you give thedonald.win a shoutout? | ||
It's a huge free speech community of MAGA, ex-dems, libertarians. | ||
We love your show. | ||
Soy Jesus is awesome. | ||
Lydia is bae. | ||
Spin the UFO. | ||
unidentified
|
Here's to you! | |
I frequent, often, all of the political subreddits. | ||
I should say all. | ||
But there's like Bernie, Yang, Democrat politics. | ||
The Donald was one of them. | ||
And then YouTube, I'm sorry, Reddit, quarantined, basically banning The Donald because they were threatening cops apparently, which is ridiculous to think that the Blue Lives Matter people are threatening cops. | ||
And now Reddit is dominated with nothing but like anti-cop Crazy cop threats and the whole thing's fine. | ||
But they made their own clone of Reddit at thedonald.win. | ||
And so someone super chatted that and I will mention it simply because I think it's important to have balance in your political diet. | ||
So when Reddit got rid of that, they created a huge nightmarish problem for regular Americans because now you're not getting a healthy political diet. | ||
I'm not saying that the people over at the Donald's are correct, but you certainly need to know what they think about things. | ||
Right. | ||
You can't just go to r slash politics where they're like, Bernie's the best! | ||
And it's like, okay, I hear you, but have you heard anyone argue against those ideas? | ||
You're going to have a warped view of reality, and they do. | ||
Yeah, how are you supposed to steel man that? | ||
It's not gonna work. | ||
Oh, check this out. | ||
Brandon says, Timcast IRL is a lifesaver. | ||
Best show on the internet without question. | ||
Correct. | ||
Love you guys. | ||
Number two is the Tim Pool Timcast. | ||
Wow, look at that. | ||
I'm spinning the, you didn't say spin the UFO, but you deserve it. | ||
This is for you. | ||
And for us, right? | ||
Cheers, man. | ||
I appreciate that. | ||
Yeah, the IRL show is growing like crazy. | ||
Like wildfire. | ||
We gained 100,000 subscribers in one month. | ||
unidentified
|
Woo! | |
Yeah, that's nuts. | ||
You guys rock. | ||
We love you all. | ||
This is my little happy dance. | ||
So much. | ||
Okay, that's all I got. | ||
So share the podcast if you like it. | ||
And smash the like button. | ||
Smash, smash, smash. | ||
Tell YouTube that you like us. | ||
Yeah, tell YouTube you like us. | ||

Strategy. | ||
Definitely. | ||
I'm excited for when we can actually add guests and stuff, too. | ||
I know, it's gonna be cool. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Ooh! | |
Stay tuned. | ||
We're about to be showing some delicious memes. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
I'm excited. | ||
Hang in there. | ||
Let's see. | ||
Silly Goose says, Joe Biden ad before your channel can't even correctly read the script for the advertisement. | ||
I heard that. | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
That's crazy. | ||
I want to see it. | ||
Yeah, I kind of want to see it too. | ||
I can't wait to see it. | ||
People have been telling us that there are Joe Biden ads running on our videos, but he can't speak properly. | ||
It's amazing. | ||
Oh man. | ||
Nick McGruber says, hey guys, I tweeted my first meme yesterday. | ||
I tagged you all in it. | ||
If you could load it up on your show and let me know what you think, it's equilibrium themed. | ||
Nick McGruber1, Twitter account, thanks. | ||
Well, for now, we already have most of the memes loaded up, so I don't know if we'll be able to find it, but we'll look into it. | ||
Control delete says, I'm currently drawing a graphic novel about a post-apocalyptic world where Hillary won and NPCs are her minions. | ||
108 pages in, working on getting it online. | ||
I'll send y'all a copy. | ||
Awesome. | ||
Sounds great. | ||
If you go to timcast.com slash donate, there's a PO box at the bottom. | ||
You can send all of that stuff, art, whatever you want to send to, uh, to our PO box. | ||
And then we, we, we get them. | ||
Someone sent us a ton of camera equipment. | ||
That was amazing for skating. | ||
We just built a spine ramp today. | ||
Oh yeah. | ||
When people say, they're like, when does Tim sleep? | ||
Because like I tweeted in the morning when I woke up, and it's like six hours after the show ended, then people are like, whoa. | ||
It's like, you don't even realize that after I end the first show, we went in the yard and started building stuff. | ||
It's true. | ||
And then we came in to do the next show, like we just worked nonstop. | ||
But before we move on, he did just say the P.O. | ||
Box. | ||
If you are sending us anything in the next month, we're just, if you, all you got to do is say, I want a board. | ||
I'm interested in one of your Harumph boards or Tim Kass board. | ||
I mean, I want the board, whatever it is. | ||
If you say anything about the board, your, your name goes in, in the, uh, the pool, if you will. | ||
And, uh, we'll pick a winner. | ||
We're going to randomly give out boards. | ||
They gotta give us their return address. | ||
Well, we'll pick a winner. | ||
Assuming your return address is on it. | ||
Right, you gotta put your return address on it. | ||
Actually, that's a good point. | ||
Say I want the board, here's my address. | ||
There you go. | ||
We're not gonna post your address, don't worry. | ||
Right, obviously. | ||
Well, if you're sending us a mail, we have your address. | ||
unidentified
|
No, they don't have to put their return address. | |
They actually don't. | ||
The Sorbarian Jesus that I got. | ||
Quite amazing, by the way. | ||
I don't know if you're watching right now, but thanks for that. | ||
So how about we begin the meme contest? | ||
Are you all ready for some of the memes that were submitted in the Great Meme Contest? | ||
OK, wait, so before we click over, this... You want to do the winner? | ||
Yeah, wait, no, this is the winners, right? | ||
OK. | ||
OK, cool. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
So we're starting from here. | ||
Starting from here. | ||
OK. | ||
So we're starting with honorable mentions. | ||
Honorable mentions. | ||
And then we're going to go through our choices for the winners. | ||
And there is an extra winner that was so good. | ||
unidentified
|
So good. | |
Unanimous. | ||
So good. | ||
It is beyond a meme. | ||
It is art. | ||
It used to be a poster. | ||
It became art. | ||
So we were like, we are creating a new gold tier. | ||
Platinum award. | ||
Yes. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yes. | ||
So are we ready? | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
This is wonderful. | ||
Here's the first one. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
This is from at Steven Suarez. | ||
Amazing. | ||
And what he did was he gave me legs. | ||
unidentified
|
Ooh. | |
Tim Pool has legs. | ||
Believe it or not. | ||
I'm sitting on a fence. | ||
It's true. | ||
With what is that a glass of milk? | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
That's a glass of milk. | ||
But you're a milquetoast fence sitter. | ||
Oh, I get it. | ||
Did you not get that until now? | ||
I didn't get it. | ||
I didn't. | ||
I was like, I see I'm holding bread. | ||
There's bread and there's milk. | ||
What the heck is this? | ||
There's a skateboard, Haram Faisay, sitting on a fence with milk and toast. | ||
That's probably the bread I ate. | ||
But I'm wearing like, are those like parachute pants? | ||
I don't know, they're cool. | ||
They look pretty hipster. | ||
Yeah, they're pretty hipster pants. | ||
Perfect for skating. | ||
So, Stephen, this was a great meme. | ||
We really appreciate it. | ||
There are many, many more we didn't get to. | ||
Yeah, there's so many. | ||
It's amazing. | ||
And so it was an honorable mention. | ||
It wasn't a winner, unfortunately, but really do appreciate it. | ||
And we've got a couple more. | ||
Next honorable mention. | ||
This one has nothing to do with Trump, I say. | ||
But we all laugh. | ||
But you just started laughing. | ||
I started laughing too. | ||
I mean, we play the division, you and I both. | ||
Right. | ||
So we keep talking about it. | ||
And yeah, the division, the division is about societal breakdown. | ||
It's the burning building in Minneapolis. | ||
unidentified
|
Literally the Coming June 2020, The Division 2 Minneapolis DLC. | |
The Division is a video game about the post-apocalyptic world and like trying to maintain the government. | ||
Yep. | ||
And so it's Minneapolis. | ||
Very, very good. | ||
Let's move on to the next meme. | ||
This one is just great. | ||
I laughed so hard. | ||
Seagulls wearing a beanie. | ||
Seagulls wearing a beanie. | ||
Inhales. | ||
So you guys, this is from, uh, I gotta give a shout out to the name. | ||
This is from as, uh, was it Ezel Derg on Twitter? | ||
Ezel Derg. | ||
Ezel Derg. | ||
This next one with the seagull is from dash underscore photo and it's the seagull meme, which you're probably familiar with. | ||
Yes. | ||
Cocking its head all the way back, inhaling and then screaming, harumph I say, while wearing a beanie. | ||
It's great. | ||
Honorable mention. | ||
Appreciate it. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
Now we have this one. | ||
Oh my goodness. | ||
This one's great. | ||
This is good. | ||
Harumphs with Attitude. | ||
It's the N.W.A. | ||
album, but my harumph face on all of them. | ||
And it says, Disregard the Constabulary. | ||
It's so good. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
Do you know what Disregard the Constabulary is supposed to mean? | ||
Oh, do tell. | ||
Do tell. | ||
unidentified
|
Do you know what it means? | |
The name of the album was F the Police, right? | ||
Yeah, I think so. | ||
Disregard the Constabulary. | ||
Translates to... Very nice. | ||
And that's from At Broke Boys Noise. | ||
Very good. | ||
Very good. | ||
This one was really clever. | ||
I like this one. | ||
This is from at Jess47379263. | ||
Very nice, Jess. | ||
And it's grumpf, I say, and it's grumpy cat with a beanie. | ||
unidentified
|
That's great. | |
It's really well done. | ||
unidentified
|
I love it. | |
It's so well done. | ||
We had to show it. | ||
It's very good. | ||
We freaking love it. | ||
Grumpy cat with my beanie on and the ears coming out? | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's very clever. | ||
It's so good. | ||
Excellent work, Jess. | ||
Yep. | ||
All right, next. | ||
This one was great. | ||
I love this one. | ||
The Flying Llama underscore on Twitter. | ||
Look, mama, red pill. | ||
Don't look, Tim. | ||
I don't want you being influenced by... No, Tim! | ||
Harumph, I say! | ||
That was good. | ||
I do love this meme, so I thought it was really, really great. | ||
This is fantastic, yes. | ||
Yes, excellent work. | ||
All right, let's see. | ||
We have one more honorable mention, I believe. | ||
Oh, do we? | ||
Okay. | ||
This is... Yes. | ||
Oh, yes. | ||
No, go up. | ||
Wait, go back, actually. | ||
Go back one. | ||
Yeah, there it is. | ||
This one. | ||
So this one wasn't necessarily... I guess it's a meme, but it's just so funny. | ||
It uses the famous Deadspin video. | ||
I don't think we can play the audio. | ||
Oh, we can't? | ||
unidentified
|
No, they'll flag us. | |
Oh, man. | ||
But this was deadspin where they're making fun of the Sinclair broadcasters who all had the same script. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But then it jumps to independent media. | ||
Let me, uh, let me turn the audio on real quick. | ||
All right, here we go. | ||
Believe this could happen. | ||
I have an optimism bias on this one. | ||
unidentified
|
Drop it! | |
🎵 All right, I don't know if that song's copyrighted either, | ||
so maybe we'll get in trouble for that. | ||
It's EDM, so it's a bunch of nothing, I think. | ||
It's EDM. | ||
So, excellent job on this, but now we're gonna go into the actual winners. | ||
All right, so now, those were the honor roll mentions. | ||
Now we're going into the winners. | ||
These are the placers. | ||
This is the winning circle here. | ||
Yes. | ||
The first winner, this was Adam's choice. | ||
This was my choice. | ||
Adam's favorite. | ||
Oh, actually, hold on, I gotta give a shout out to, this is atgrave367, who did the dance meme. | ||
Very cool, I love it. | ||
Stanky Cheese Man, appreciate it. | ||
Stanky Cheese. | ||
This is from Timbabcock20, and this was Adam's choice. | ||
Oh man. | ||
Can you give it to me here? | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
Thank you. | ||
All right. | ||
unidentified
|
All right, Adam. | |
Tell us about this one. | ||
Listen, I gotta say, all these memes made me laugh. | ||
This one was so spot on. | ||
It was so funny. | ||
I mean, don't get me wrong. | ||
I love Tim. | ||
Tim and I are really good friends. | ||
We've been friends for a long time. | ||
We're going to remain friends for a long time. | ||
But this is just so classic. | ||
This board, what is it? | ||
The meteorologist or metro, metrologist. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Metrologist. | ||
Metrologist. | ||
There you go. | ||
This board is for you. | ||
Yes. | ||
So listen, I guess we're gonna have to figure out some way to get your information. | ||
If they're following you, you can send them a direct message. | ||
Oh, I can send you a direct message and I will and I will get your information. | ||
Sweet. | ||
We'll all sign the board. | ||
Yeah, we're gonna send the board. | ||
You give us your address and we're gonna give you one of these delicious boards. | ||
Delicious indeed. | ||
The next one, I believe, is my choice. | ||
Yes, this is your favorite. | ||
From Nihilistic, at Nihilistic Rag, and it says, whenever Tim Poole says it's complicated, and it's the, uh, what was the guy's name? | ||
Hamilton Burr. | ||
Hamilton Burr. | ||
Burress. | ||
Burress, yeah. | ||
It says, why are you booing me? | ||
I'm right. | ||
And you know what? | ||
That resonated with me. | ||
Because I'm like, when people keep bringing up that I say it's complicated, I'm like, it is! | ||
It sure is! | ||
It is complicated! | ||
That's why I'm saying that! | ||
There is no easy answer. | ||
I know. | ||
So I love the meme. | ||
Why are you booing me? | ||
I'm right! | ||
Hannibal Buress. | ||
Hannibal Buress. | ||
There you go. | ||
So that's the nihilistic brag. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Very nice. | ||
Very nicely done. | ||
Lydia's Choice. | ||
Yep. | ||
You want to read this one? | ||
Oh, I can't read it. | ||
It's too far away. | ||
Oh, that's right. | ||
You can't see it. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
So this is the Shen Comics meme, and it's from, I believe that's Milka Jug on Twitter. | ||
He says, Welcome to the gang, kid. | ||
We've got Steel and Steve, Murder and Mike, and Harumph I say. | ||
What did Tim do? | ||
It's complicated. | ||
So that was good. | ||
I like this one too. | ||
It's fantastic. | ||
And Lydia chose that. | ||
This is my favorite one. | ||
So at MilkaJug, we will also be sending you a board. | ||
Great level of nuance. | ||
Now we're going into the most liked. | ||
This is the most liked out of all of them. | ||
We couldn't choose it because we chose all the ones we liked outside of this one. | ||
Otherwise, I think we would have chosen this one. | ||
It's fantastic. | ||
It's amazing. | ||
This is from Podcastage. | ||
I believe you're hanging out right now. | ||
I think I saw you in the super chat. | ||
Oh, sweet. | ||
And this is the Winnie-the-Pooh meme. | ||
It's excellent. | ||
And it's regular Winnie-the-Pooh. | ||
Winnie-the-Pooh, you are wrong. | ||
Fancy Winnie-the-Pooh, I disagree. | ||
Very fancy monocle top hat, that is a fallacy, and then me. | ||
Harumph, I say! | ||
This was the most liked. | ||
Look at this, people said you are the winner, in my estimation at least, and the most likes. | ||
Yep, it had the most likes. | ||
So Podcast Edge, you have won the audience, the popular opinion one. | ||
And to be honest, this was one of the first that was sent to me and we thought it was one of the best as well. | ||
But then when Adam went through it and said, this has the most likes, we were like, well, that's the winner. | ||
So we got to pick different ones. | ||
However, as much as we are greatly impressed with all of your work, One meme has been risen above the rest. | ||
Stands above them all. | ||
One meme to rule them all. | ||
Amazing. | ||
One meme to rule them all. | ||
The gold standard. | ||
Get ready for this. | ||
This is from at Chisholm. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh my. | |
It's at, I believe it's I Chexie or maybe L Chexie. | ||
Yes. | ||
Says, this was a labor of love. | ||
I present to you the front page of the Criggsville Chronicle. | ||
I emailed it to you too. | ||
Yes. | ||
My stars and garters. | ||
This is incredible. | ||

|
Oh my lanta. | |
Look at this. | ||
Look down here at this picture of me with a monocle and it says Media Mogul to Detractors. | ||
on Made in Flight. | ||
It is the Hindenburg, but he form-fit the graphic onto it, and it says Harumphenburg. | ||
Look down here at this picture of me with a monocle, and it says Media Mogul to Detractors, Harumph. | ||
Now hold on, I'm gonna read this. | ||
unidentified
|
Can you read it? | |
I'm pulling it close. | ||
I don't know if you can read it, but I'm gonna read the paper to you guys right now. | ||
I got my monitor close up. | ||
All right, so, gentleman broadcaster and wheeled plank enthusiast Baron Bonvini took to the skies today aboard his newly completed Radio Zeppelin. | ||
Harumphenberg. | ||
Equipped with the latest in broadcast technology and crewed by some of the finest in the industry, the team, along with their feline companion, Bucko, seems to dispatch the latest and most up-to-date news to the people of America and beyond. | ||
Philadelphia starlet and radio personality Lydia Sourpatch had this to say, Oh my stars and garters, this will revolutionize the way we can deliver current affairs. | ||
When asked how this marvel of a machine was able to take flight, Baron Von Beeney informed The Chronicle that it was through vegan ingenuity. | ||
Dr. Krigler is our lead scientist and engineer on the project. | ||
It was through vegan science and engineering he was able to refine chow cheese in such a way that he was able to produce large volumes of near odorless gas. | ||
that we use to inflate the cells within the airship. | ||
Without his genius, we never would have gotten off the ground. | ||
He truly is a messiah in his field. | ||
Story continues on page two. | ||
Hrumphenberg to the skies. | ||
Now listen, listen. | ||
Beyond the craftsmanship, my jaw hit the ground. | ||
It's still in the other room where I first saw this. | ||
The craftsmanship was incredible. | ||
The commitment. | ||
But it mentions a bunch of specific things that are really, really well-researched. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Chet watches the show. | ||
You mentioned the Zeppelin thing about me, which is where, for like seven years, Wikipedia claimed I invented a Zeppelin. | ||
Which is amazing, by the way. | ||
I don't want to let go of that. | ||
But also the joke about Adam farting farts not smelling was really, really spot on. | ||
You must really watch the show. | ||
Seriously, Chet, this is for you, my friend. | ||
This board, this delicious, amazing Harumph board. | ||
Congratulations. | ||
Seriously. | ||
And you know what? | ||
We should throw in a t-shirt, whatever else. | ||
We'll throw whatever. | ||
I'll jump in the box. | ||
And I think we're going to make this a poster. | ||
I think so. | ||
I think he emailed it to me. | ||
But, wow. | ||
I want it on my wall. | ||
I want it on my wall. | ||
It's amazing. | ||
Yeah, that's amazing. | ||
It is incredible. | ||
Fantastic job. | ||
So, Chet, if you're following Adam, I believe... He is, yeah. | ||
He's got my email too. | ||
Perfect. | ||
We want to make this a poster. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Absolutely. | ||
It's hilarious. | ||
unidentified
|
So good. | |
It's so stinking cool. | ||
So, the next phase... What's the next phase of the board contest? | ||
Because we have, I think, five more, right? | ||
So, the art... Yeah, we got a few more boards. | ||
We got the art contest going on next week, next Friday. | ||
We're gonna have another... Basically, one of these. | ||
We're gonna show off the honor roll mentions. | ||
I'll pick our favorite. | ||
You guys are gonna pick your own winner. | ||
And, I mean, this kind of... Just... We were blown away when we saw this. | ||
So, we had to... We gave it the ultimate winning for the day. | ||
So... | ||
Yeah, but the art contest, and then if you send us anything, send us your address, and we're going to pick one person to get a free board. | ||
So that's TimCast.com slash donate. | ||
There is a P.O. | ||
box at the bottom. | ||
Send whatever you want to send, and if you just mention you want a board and here's your address, it's basically like a raffle. | ||
We're going to pick somebody, and it's going to be mostly at random. | ||
So that was just a very simple way of sending out one of the boards we have. | ||
And then we have the art contest, which is, are we doing just one board for that? | ||
It's just, I don't know. | ||
I'm having fun. | ||
Well, we have a limited number. | ||
Yeah, we have ten total. | ||
And now we have five left. | ||
One of them will be for the people who mail in stuff, and we'll have four more available. | ||
So we can do one more art contest. | ||
Or we can do... Sure. | ||
Yeah? | ||
Yeah, I mean, whatever. | ||
So just do some artwork based on our show. | ||
I mean, if you can even come close to the Crigsville Chronicle, you'll be winning a board. | ||
It's incredible. | ||
It's amazing. | ||
So thank you so much. | ||
Really appreciate that. | ||

We put up clips throughout the day, the following day, so we'll have the clips up from the show tomorrow. | ||

Yeah. | ||
YouTube has algorithmic recommendations. | ||
On this channel, they don't. | ||
On my other channel, so, but whatever. | ||
We love doing the show, and if you guys think we do a good job, we don't have the same marketing budget that, say, CNN does. | ||
We got you guys. | ||
We got you guys. Yeah. Yeah. So if you tell people the show's great and they come and watch and they like it then boom | ||
there it is. | ||
But now you have a special treat coming your way. If that's all you wanted to do was come hang out and listen to the | ||
culture talk and the news, then thank you for hanging out. | ||
But we always end our Friday shows with a jam session. And I will be playing two, maybe three songs. I'm actually | ||
gonna play, Adam's gonna be playing. We have the jam cam set up. | ||
I believe it's good to go. Let me see if I can uh... | ||

Yeah the mic's not on yet or plugged in. | ||
I'm gonna plug it in now. | ||
So, you've been warned. | ||
I'm going to be plugging in a mic which may pop. | ||
Just keep that in mind. | ||
I don't think it'll be that bad. | ||
Maybe it was worse for us. | ||
But there you go. | ||
You've been warned. | ||
Can you turn that on quick? | ||
Because it's buzzing. | ||
Is it on? | ||
Sounds good to me. | ||
No, it's still buzzing. | ||
Something's buzzing. | ||

It's plugged in? | |
Oh, that was weird. | ||
Okay, maybe your ears just got fried because of that. | ||
But now, uh, thanks for hanging out, everybody. | ||

Adam's gonna jam a song. | ||

The closer the heart is, the harder it becomes to do what's right. | ||
Even through the thick and thin, secretly you want to win. | ||
Well, I'm taking it back, taking it back, taking it back. | ||
It's time to confess all sins. | ||
Well, before this world I've built crumbles away. | ||
I've spent some time lost in my mind, disappointed. | ||
Bye! | ||
Well, that's just the sting from expecting, and that's what you get. | ||
It's a simple state of mind. | ||
Drop a little bit of pride. | ||
I know it's exhausting. | ||
Oh, and takin' it back, takin' it back, takin' it back is the only option. | ||
Oh, before the world you fill crumbles away. | ||
It started with cold feet, let me begin again. | ||
Hindsight's obviously the clearest option. | ||
I'm takin' it back with all that I believe in. | ||
Everything happens, I won't fight the reasons You say you've learned from your mistakes that you're | ||
experienced And then comes the day from left field as they say has left | ||
you in a daze Oh | ||
Oh, it happens all the time. | ||
A high tide of the mind struggling for oxygen. | ||
And taking it back, taking it back, taking it back is the only option | ||
before the world you built crumbles away. | ||
It started with cold feet, let me begin again. | ||
Mindsight's obviously the clearest option. | ||
I'm taking it back with all that I believe in. | ||

Most of you probably did, and I did three songs, and for some reason I always choose the songs where I'm screaming the whole time. | ||
Oh, great. | ||
Yeah, I was like, man! | ||
And you know what? | ||
The song that I went over and joined you? | ||
Yeah. | ||
I was like, oh, this is the part where he stops singing most most times you play the song. | ||
And I was ready. | ||
And and I'm like, oh, snaps. | ||
You like did this. | ||
You did high pitch. | ||
unidentified
|
You did the high pitch. | |
Yeah. | ||
You went nuts. | ||
I saved that. | ||
But it's like, you know, when you see people perform live musicians. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like you'll listen to the song on the radio and there's a part where they go really high. | ||
But then when you watch them live, they won't do it because they're touring. | ||
They don't want to lose their voice. | ||
Exactly. | ||
I know. | ||
And so I'm like, it's Friday. | ||
I'm not going to sing till next week. | ||
So I'm just going to go. | ||
I'm going to go hard. | ||
You talk all day long. | ||
Yeah, but- You're a brave man, Tim. | ||
Belting- You're a brave man. | ||
And the high end is very different from just talking. | ||
I'm actually really interested to see how we sounded together. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'm curious. | |
We should just keep recording. | ||
I know, it's true. | ||
We should. | ||
We put together a list of like the songs I have, and I probably have, that I could record right now, 20. | ||
Nice. | ||

Impressive. | |
In my actual brain, I probably have like a thousand. | ||
Nice. | ||
I've been playing since I was like seven years old. | ||
Yeah, right on. | ||
Well, I've been writing music since I was like twelve. | ||
Cool. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But that being said, it is time I go to sleep. | ||
Tomorrow, I have an appointment, which is gonna be awesome. | ||
I have an appointment. | ||
I'm so excited. | ||
Are we allowed to talk about what it is? | ||
I don't think we should say. | ||
Nah, it's exciting. | ||
More secrets I know that you don't. | ||
Wait, let me twiddle my little tiny mustache. | ||
It's a short five minute meeting. | ||
It's not really a mustache. | ||
And I will talk about it after it's done. | ||
It's a very normal thing for most people. | ||
Yes, this is very normal. | ||
But I gotta get up early because of it because I have to work still. | ||
So thanks for hanging out everybody. | ||
