| And I'll see you next time. | ||
| Engagement is way down. | ||
| And I noticed this earlier. | ||
| People have been talking about it for several weeks, and people have been talking about how if you lock your profile on Twitter, you'll get more engagement. | ||
| That doesn't seem to make sense to me. | ||
| Something's wrong with the machine. | ||
| And we had this story, this Twitter thread from Dave Rubin last week where he talked about the Fractal Rube Goldberg machine that was Twitter. | ||
| And that there were actually secret codes, new codes, that were censoring conservatives that were censoring people like Dave Rubin. | ||
| So the reason why I say it's dead is because two things happened. | ||
| Engagement disappeared. | ||
| Something happened in the algorithm a couple weeks ago where all of a sudden people stopped getting comments, replies, they stopped getting retweets, stopped getting quote tweets, they stopped getting likes. | ||
| And everybody said, yo, what's going on? | ||
| It feels like Twitter is dying. | ||
| People aren't engaging anymore. | ||
| Maybe everybody just hates Twitter now. | ||
| I doubt it. | ||
| Something changed in the system. | ||
| Today, everyone started locking their accounts en masse. | ||
| And there's just, I don't know, I unfollowed maybe like two dozen people. | ||
| And I didn't unfollow them because I'm mad at them. | ||
| They locked their accounts. | ||
| I can see their tweets, but I can't engage. | ||
| I can't share the tweet. | ||
| I can't let other people know, like, hey, this thing is happening. | ||
| All of the quote tweets I already had from these people, gone. | ||
| Quote tweets from people I didn't follow before? | ||
| Gone. | ||
| Locking their accounts. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Whatever is going on, the platform is in a dire situation right now. | ||
| So let me just add, it's a slow news day, did you notice? | ||
| But we'll talk about this because we do have that Twitter thread from Dave Rubin we didn't get into on the show. | ||
| Last week. | ||
| And then I'll just show you the general reaction from a lot of people as to what's going on and what it means. | ||
| If people aren't getting engagement on the platform, they're gonna stop using it. | ||
| So we'll see. | ||
| I mean, what are people gonna do? | ||
| Migrate to TikTok or something? | ||
| We do have a bunch of other stories. | ||
| I mean, there's creepy stuff about Joe Biden. | ||
| We can talk about that. | ||
| But we have some more interesting cultural stuff. | ||
| We got a personality for PragerU. | ||
| Went into YouTube, signed up, and said they were a young child, and what they were fed was a bunch of weird consent, queer consent videos, like, telling 9 through 12 year olds about how they can consent, if you know, like, yeah, no, like, so, that's just kind of weird. | ||
| So we'll talk about that, plus, we have, uh, we gotta talk about this MSNBC thing. | ||
| This MSNBC host, who says that she got a cold in December, And then felt pain in her heart. | ||
| Turned out she had pericarditis. | ||
| The doctor said it was from a... First said she had reflux. | ||
| It's been a month and a half, and she says she still has, now, myocarditis, or some kind of heart issue, and it's like, if it was from a cold, can the common cold cause myocarditis for a month and a half, like you still have this cold? | ||
| This is interesting because MSNBC dedicated a full segment to this and brought in a doctor to talk about it, and it's making people talk about these wild theories about what really happened. | ||

| Hello, hello, hello. | ||
| Glad to be here, guys. | ||
| Before we get started, first off, can we bow our heads? | ||
| We need to say a prayer for all of my brothers out there in relationships with Latinas. | ||
| Why's that? | ||
| Trust me. | ||
| You'll want to say the prayer. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| What is that about? | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| Spicy Latinas are a thing, man. | ||
| Like I said, again. | ||
| Okay! | ||
| I thought that was like something in the news or something happening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Oh, no, no, no. | ||
| So who are you, man? | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| So, my name is Malcolm Flicks. | ||
| I am what you could call a high-capacity assault shitposter. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| I know. | ||
| And now, I am a shitpost analyst. | ||
| But no, I'm just a normal bro, man. | ||
| I do fighting. | ||
| I do football, pretty much. | ||
| You know, politics, science. | ||
| You name it, fitness. | ||
| Yeah, the science stuff. | ||
| You were talking about, we were talking about pericarditis and myocarditis a moment ago, and you were talking about a bunch of stuff I didn't understand, but we can get in all that with the MSNBC story. | ||
| Yeah, you're not a doctor, but you have massive medical experience. | ||
| You work as a, what is the title of your role with the company? | ||
| Pretty much MSL, so Medical Science Liaison. | ||
| Yeah, that's fascinating. | ||
| You can carry that mic around, take it up and down so you don't have to lean over any time. | ||
| Sweet, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, man, it's cool. | ||
| We'll talk about it. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out. | ||
| We got Hannah-Claire Brimlow hanging out. | ||
| Hi, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimlow. | ||
| I'm a writer for TimCast.com. | ||
| I'm Ian Crossland. | ||
| Happy to be here. | ||
| What's up, everybody? | ||
| Nothing too much to report. | ||
| I did take Bucco to a local vet earlier, and things are moving swimmingly. | ||
| We're going to have his stem cell injections this week, so I'll keep you updated. | ||
| Posted a little picture of Bucco yesterday on my Twitter, and I would like to keep rolling from here. | ||
| If anything comes up, I'll mention it on the show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right on. | |
| And I am at Surge.com, Unvaxxed, Unlocked on Twitter. | ||
| What a great slogan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Unvaxxed, Unlocked. | |
| Let's jump into this first story and here's why, there's two reasons why we decided we're going to open up this show leading with the Twitter being dead story. | ||
| The first and most important thing is that it's, It's a very slow news day, nothing's going on, and this is the most important thing we can talk about. | ||
| No, I'm just kidding. | ||
| It is a slow news day, there is some other stuff we can talk about, but I really thought it would be super boring to just be like, another development in the Hunter Biden story, and the Feds raided Biden's Penn, was it the Penn-Biden Center, whatever, and that happened in November, and no one knew it happened until now, so it's like, of course there's weird, corrupt stuff going on, but I'm just like, let's talk about something more interesting. | ||
| So I go on Twitter, And a bunch of people I follow, you can see this meme, ALX says, opening up Twitter right now, all the locked profiles. | ||
| Everyone started, not everyone, but a lot of people started locking their profiles. | ||
| High profile accounts started locking their profiles so that no one can retweet their content, no one can share their content, yo. | ||
| You combine that with the fact that already people were reporting for the past couple of weeks a weird algorithm change that resulted in zero engagement, And it feels like Twitter is just totally dead. | ||
| This feels like, and I'm sure these people will un-private their account at some point, but it feels like how, like, Canada's, like, offering assisted suicide to people. | ||
| Like, if you want to kill yourself, we'll make it easy for you. | ||
| If you want to block out your social media so we don't have to ban you, we'll make it, you know, maybe they can incentivize you to ban yourself. | ||
| So, like, people are self-selecting and they're, like, removing themselves from the gene pool. | ||
| So this is the crazy thing, right? | ||
| I retweeted Chris Martinson, Dr. Chris Martinson. | ||
| We've been on the show. | ||
| He was talking about the MSNBC host I brought up in the intro. | ||
| She gets a common cold, but that results in pericarditis and myocarditis. | ||
| I'm going through my tweets because I look at my own tweets. | ||
| It's kind of like bookmarking. | ||
| So when I retweet something I know, like here's the story I wanted to post. | ||
| And it says this tweet is unavailable because the account owner protects his tweets. | ||
| And I'm like, oh, but I know Chris Martens. | ||
| He's been on the show before. | ||
| Can't see his tweets anymore. | ||
| He went private. | ||
| People are basically banning themselves. | ||
| Anything I shared from these accounts, gone. | ||
| Anybody who follows me, can't see them. | ||
| It's like, come on, like, these people have, it is strange to me that they were convinced the only way to retain engagement was to actually shut their accounts down. | ||
| It's dead internet theory taken to like a whole new level, but you know, honestly. | ||
| Maybe, maybe, no joke. | ||
| What if what was really happening with Twitter was that Twitter was falsely boosting the numbers on tweets to make it seem like there was engagement to trick advertisers into spending money. | ||
| And now that Elon Musk is cleaning up the code, he accidentally removed whatever fake thing was there that generated fake comments or fake likes. | ||
| I'm not even playing. | ||
| It was the, I think the CEO of Reddit, Alexis, what's his name, Alexis Ohanian, is that his name? | ||
| I actually know him. | ||
| He's married to Serena Williams, right? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I know the guy. | ||
| He's a very nice guy. | ||
| And I'm pretty sure him and, what's the other guy's name, Huffman, talked about how in the early days of Reddit, they would pretend to be users so that people would think they were talking to people. | ||
| Because if you go on a social media platform and comment, no one responds, you're like, I'm bored, I leave. | ||
| So they would pretend to be different people and comment and create fake conversations. | ||
| And now they'll ban you for doing that on Reddit. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| No, I mean, unless you're the government or something. | ||
| I used to do it with Mines. | ||
| I'd go on there and I'd post a Mines thing and then I'd go on with my personal account and be like, this is really cool, upvote, upvote everyone when I was working as an admin. | ||
| All the big tech companies do it. | ||
| If they found out, they'd ban me instantly. | ||
| What if that's it? | ||
| And the reason why when you lock your account, you get engagement is because there's the locked engagement fluffer and there's the un-private engagement fluffer. | ||
| I gotta call them fluffers, you know what I mean? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, just make them big. | ||
| And I'm the only guy who got rid of the code on one of them. | ||
| Dude, it just, it makes me laugh because it's like so many people who, you know, have lauded other people for basically like following trends and, you know, just like chasing the like, chasing the clout. | ||
| And now all of a sudden, you know, you're seeing people like, what's, what's going on, man? | ||
| I only got a hundred likes on. | ||
| And like, they wake up the next day with like cold sweats because they literally are not getting the same engagements. | ||
| Like it's, it blows my mind. | ||
| Just like. | ||
| How hard, hard, hardwired people are to Twitter. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And Instagram, all of it, man. | ||
| I feel like Elon Musk is just like, he's running experiments and collecting data for the aliens. | ||
| He's like, hmm, I wonder if I deprive them of, how are they going to react? | ||
| Everyone's dopamine just dropped by like 80% and they're like, ah! | ||
| What are we doing, bros? | ||
| What are we doing? | ||
| I thought we had real lives. | ||
| I thought we touched the most grass out of everybody on Twitter. | ||
| It reminds me of panning for gold. | ||
| I think people are trying to find a way to crack the algorithm. | ||
| Back in the day on YouTube, if you could figure out how to post on everyone's page at once, then all of a sudden your channel broke through the algorithm. | ||
| People could get really famous in a relatively short amount of time on social networks, but a lot of these networks now are ready for that, so they're trying to stop it from happening, but people are still hoping they find some gold in the river sift. | ||
| Dude, it used to be on YouTube that you'd make a video where you're talking about George W. Bush and the war in Iraq, but the thumbnail was just like a big-tittied woman. | ||
| I'm not even kidding, because people would click on it. | ||
| And so you're like, I'm not a woman, but if I'm going to get those clicks, and the thumbnail would be like a guy going like this, and it would be like, war in Iraq, and there would be just like a big, large-breasted woman next to him. | ||
| And then it would get a million hits. | ||
| And they used to do this thing, too, where they would They would make videos with fake thumbnails and fake titles, and when you clicked it, it would just play like, it would show like a sentence, and it would play music, and they would get massively thumbs down, but they generated tons of hits. | ||
| YouTube started to clean this up, like, okay, we can't allow this, but if you look at some of the earliest YouTubers, and go look at their, like, big ones, and look at their YouTube channels, you will see they just, for some reason, tended to have thumbnails that needed to talk about women in bikinis. | ||
| Lisa Nova, huge in 2006-7, and I remember the video that really popped off the thumbnail was just a big butt crack. | ||
| And all of a sudden it got millions of clicks. | ||
| And I don't think it was her butt crack, it was like Kasim G's butt crack. | ||
| Shout out to Kasim. | ||
| There's also Casey Neistat's famous video, Make It Count. | ||
| Remember this one? | ||
| No. | ||
| It's the one where he said that he was given a budget to produce a commercial for a Nike and instead of doing that he just traveled around the world in 10 days because it was more fun. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| And it ended up being an amazing commercial. | ||
| But the thumbnail for it is two women in bikinis posing and him taking a picture. | ||
| People knew exactly what they were doing with how they engaged. | ||
| The crazy thing to me is That we've created a points system for our lives. | ||
| We've video gamified politics in life. | ||
| Like with Twitter, these are political personalities being like, I'm not getting engagement anymore, so I'm going to lock my account to get more engagement. | ||
| And I'm like, that sounds like someone made a mouse trap. | ||
| And put peanut butter in it and you were like, I'm gonna go in there and get that peanut butter. | ||
| And then your account gets locked. | ||
| All your retweets are gone. | ||
| All your quote tweets are gone. | ||
| It is it's like, yo, somebody at Twitter figured out how to ban the conservatives in one sweep by getting them to walk into the trap themselves. | ||
| That's hilarious, bro. | ||
| But there are tons of people who aren't on Twitter who, like, if you explain this, like, everyone's locking their account, it's a big deal, they're gonna be like, what? | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| Because, like, Twitter feeds itself, right? | ||
| Like when things start to irritate people on Twitter, it circles around, like there are parts of Twitter | ||
| that won't care about anything that's going on. | ||
| Engagement is sort of universal, like trying to drive traffic to your profile | ||
| is like the one unifying front through all of Twitter. | ||
| And even then, there are tons of people who don't use the platform who don't care about this. | ||
| Hey, let's just call it what it is, bro. | ||
| Like we discovered the meta, the like the one meta build on Twitter | ||
| and the mods got mad and they patched it and now everybody's all just like freaking out. | ||
| So honestly, I'm trying to figure this out. | ||
| What if all the conservatives just kind of like locked their accounts or everybody's conservative and independent just locked their accounts and the journalists literally can't like write hit pieces anymore. | ||
| That's what I'm thinking, that we should all just like... That's actually a good point. | ||
| I was gonna say that all of these accounts that locked their tweets, all these people that locked their accounts, all the news articles that have recorded those tweets, gone. | ||
| They're now gonna show dead space. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| If they unlock their account, they don't repopulate, right? | ||
| I think it'll go back. | ||
| You think so? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Because that'd be interesting, too, if you just, like, periodically, like, lock your account for 24 hours so, like, anyone who's used your stuff can't get access to it. | ||
| Look, I like Elon. | ||
| I like Elon Musk. | ||
| I'm glad that he got Twitter. | ||
| I'm glad he released Twitter files. | ||
| I think he could do better, but he's doing what he can. | ||
| But I gotta be honest, if Twitter, I woke up tomorrow and it was gone, I'd be happy. | ||
| I'd use mine. | ||
| It's just a piece of tech. | ||
| It's the same as YouTube. | ||
| Internet video is where it's at. | ||
| It doesn't matter what network you're on. | ||
| Internet video is the powerful tool. | ||
| I think that a lot of these problems, people are searching for a way to break an algorithm that they don't understand because the code is private. | ||
| If the code was public and you could see what the algorithm is doing, you would know whether or not this was going to have any value locking your account. | ||
| You wouldn't have to do it. | ||
| Are you saying we should free the code? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Free the code, baby. | ||
| There we go, guys. | ||
| Someone suggested me and you arm wrestle. | ||
| I don't think it's going to happen. | ||
| Dude, are you ready? | ||
| I don't think I can take you with two arms. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| Two legs and two arms. | ||
| Actually, I gotta be honest. | ||
| I'm pretty sure you could just like lift Ian with one arm. | ||
| Bicep curl? | ||
| Yeah, I can bicep curl. | ||
| What's an average one arm bicep curl? | ||
| Dude, average is probably like 40. | ||
| But then again, I mean, my wife, she curls like 30 pound dumbbells. | ||
| So she's kind of skewing extremely high on that. | ||
| Yeah, honestly, for me, think about 70 or 80. | ||
| Like, dude, imagine this. | ||
| News is so slow, I'm actually getting to come on Them Caps and just talk about my biceps. | ||
| Think about that. | ||
| There was some news today, the Biden stuff, and I'm just like, I don't care, man. | ||
| Look, we get it. | ||
| The Bidens are crooked. | ||
| They're dirty people. | ||
| And I started thinking about this. | ||
| I did a segment at 4 p.m. | ||
| Jack Posobiec wrote about his old neighborhood when he was a kid and how it's fallen apart and crime ridden. | ||
| And then I'm just like, yeah, that's the result. | ||
| They're actually all symptoms of the same thing, cultural fragmentation. | ||
| I was saying that, you know, you go back, imagine a small town of 3,000 people and you've got a nice God-fearing white family, a nice God-fearing black family, a nice God-fearing Latino family. | ||
| My point is, they, Asian family, they agree culturally and ideologically on their worldview. | ||
| Race doesn't matter. | ||
| Their views on morality are all the same. | ||
| So if one guy loses his job and goes on unemployment, nobody's mad about it. | ||
| They're like, we got your back, buddy. | ||
| You know, don't worry. | ||
| We'll see you at church on Sunday. | ||
| And it's like, I'm going to keep trying. | ||
| I know you guys are there for me. | ||
| Then eventually finds a job. | ||
| No one is, you know, when everybody agrees with each other and wants to be part of the same community, they're not looking to exploit each other. | ||
| They're not looking to commit crimes against each other. | ||
| They got each other's back. | ||
| Social programs work. | ||
| Crime is low. | ||
| You don't need police. | ||
| And then I started thinking about what the Biden family represents. | ||
| And it's just like, They are both a symptom of and the cause of. | ||
| It's like a whirlpool. | ||
| When you have a fractured moral society and people just stop caring, and you get Democrats who are like, I'm voting for this guy simply because I hate you, then the people they end up voting for, like the Bidens, are crime families. | ||
| And then because you end up with a crime family in government, they end up burning everything to the ground. | ||
| He's kind of like a, not quite, an old washed-up politician. | ||
| He's kind of like an old washed-up politician. | ||
| Like after 1988 when he was plagiarizing in his presidential run and he had to drop out of the race, he was pretty much laughed at, scorned, and like never taken seriously again, until all of a sudden Obama Puts him as his VP. | ||
| He runs. | ||
| He looks like a doddering old man in 2008. | ||
| No one took him seriously while he was running against Obama. | ||
| And then all of a sudden, I guess now we find out it was the establishment. | ||
| It's the DNC. | ||
| It's like the Democratic Party that selects the running mate. | ||
| I thought Obama put him in as like, oh, I want an old white guy. | ||
| I want a business guy to represent that business part because I'm the rebel. | ||
| Nah man, you remember they ran it by him and then Biden had that infamous little script where he was like, you know, we got the first clean, well-spoken black guy. | ||
| And you know, it was like a very, you know, they literally had the place set up. | ||
| And so it's just, it's, it's kind of funny because, you know, Tim, you were saying, it's just like all of, all the people hate each other and they vote candidates in just to spite other people. | ||
| Well then, that means Biden is literally just like an embodiment of the hatred and contempt that Americans have for each other. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You see that in how they govern. | ||
| They have hatred and contempt for us, you know? | ||
| And the way they conduct themselves, right? | ||
| Like, I have never found a reason to write about it, but like, Hunter Biden has this illegitimate child who he won't acknowledge, even though he put her mom on the payroll for a while. | ||
| And like, now her mom, who I believe was a stripper, I'm not sure, Um, is, like, trying to get her daughter to have the Biden last name so that she is, you know, acknowledged, is connected, because it's beneficial to be- to be known in America as a Biden. | ||
| And to me, like, this is someone who doesn't acknowledge this child. | ||
| Like, it sounds horrible to- to saddle your child with the name of a man who doesn't want to acknowledge her, who had another child after, who they bring out for photos. | ||
| Like, it's- it's- He's resisting. | ||
| He's- he's trying to stop the name. | ||
| He- he has asked a judge to presi- to, uh, to not let this happen. | ||
| Meanwhile, Grandma Joe Biden brings his toddler son that he had in wedlock with this South African film director. | ||
| They present themselves as this family, and they love the young women, and they're so supportive, and then really, on the other hand, they don't practice anything they preach. | ||
| And we see this time and time again, right? | ||
| No one is perfect, but it's different to say, oh, this is the package we're selling you, America, and please ignore the other stuff, right? | ||
| It's just corrupt, morally. | ||
| It's like someone took like all the negative things of like, it's like somebody that doesn't, does not understand American culture, except for the bad things basically took and distilled all of the worst aspects, drugs, fatherless children, money laundering, corruption, and just like literally just imbibed them into Biden family. | ||
| At that point. | ||
| And that's, like, literally what we have, so. | ||
| But Vogue did a cover of Naomi Biden's wedding, so we should just accept that they are, like, the beautiful new Americana family. | ||
| Like, it makes me sad, right? | ||
| Like, these, like, Tiffany, Trump, and I'm gonna make this point because I've been thinking about it for weeks and have not had a chance to do it, to make it, but Tiffany, Trump got married the weekend before Naomi Biden, right? | ||
| Very similar styles, very lavish wedding, both, like, from powerful families, but, like, Naomi Biden's is good and it's representational even though her family actually has all this scandal and all this weird connection and they treat each other strangely and the | ||
| Trump family, by all accounts, like, is unusual, right? | ||
| A man who's been divorced three times has all of these kids, like, not super typical. | ||
| But by all accounts, all of the siblings get along really well. | ||
| But they're the bad family. | ||
| They're representational of negative family politics. | ||
| Like, it doesn't really make sense. | ||
| This is why I did the segment I did at 4 p.m. | ||
| on my main channel. | ||
| Normally, you know, because normally what I do every day is I grab like the big story And I'm like, here's the thing that happened. | ||
| Here's what it means. | ||
| Here's what's going on. | ||
| Here's some other stuff about it. | ||
| And like the other day I was talking about, oh, Biden scandal, the emails. | ||
| Apparently, Hunter Biden emails from his laptop suggest he had access to classified information. | ||
| And it seems like in emails, they were directly getting information straight from the White House. | ||
| So that's a big scandal. | ||
| Today, there was more information on it, that they had raided the Penn Biden Center or whatever. | ||
| And so there was like, the FBI were doing raids on the Bidens for a while now, before the midterms, and they weren't telling us. | ||
| And then I was just like, thinking about Chuck Todd, Jim Jordan goes on meet the press. | ||
| And he says, you know, Chuck Todd's like, but Trump had classified documents. | ||
| And he's like, Trump is the president. | ||
| And they were guarded by the Secret Service. | ||
| And they were locked up. | ||
| And Biden had him sitting in his garage. | ||
| And then just for tribal reasons, Chuck Todd says no! | ||
| No! | ||
| Like, you can't see it! | ||
| You know, it's a conspiracy and it's just like, we get it, those of us of sound mind. | ||
| Chuck Todd is just saying whatever he has to because there is a cult of people who don't care what's true, they care that they are right. | ||
| So you can come out and make your argument, and they don't care! | ||
| Literally don't care. | ||
| And I'm just thinking about all this, and I'm like, then I saw Jack Posobiec's article about how his neighborhood fell apart. | ||
| And I'm like, yeah, it's because we have no cultural cohesion, we have no shared moral framework, and so we end up with leaders who are basically on the Titanic, watching the iceberg coming, right before it hits they run, grab a whole bunch of silverware | ||
| and jump in a lifeboat and just cast off. Instead of actually steering the ship, saving | ||
| people, or being like a real captain and saying, you know, last person off the ship or you go down | ||
| with it, they're off the ship first and then even tell you what happened. Oh, no worse. They're | ||
| telling you everything's fine. | ||
| Don't worry, guys. | ||
| Go back to the minibar. | ||
| Get some more drinks. | ||
| Go gamble. | ||
| Just get off the deck. | ||
| Mostly peaceful iceberg. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| The ship starts sinking. | ||
| It starts going up, and people are sliding. | ||
| Don't worry. | ||
| This is the slide function. | ||
| It's fun. | ||
| Glasses are flying up. | ||
| People are hanging from the side. | ||
| They're like, everything's still fine. | ||
| The ground is flat. | ||
| Meanwhile, there is a second ship that pulled up. | ||
| Uh, funded by the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And they're, they're rowing over being like, don't worry about it! | ||
| Hunter, get the boat! | ||
| That's exactly what they're doing. | ||
| I think that's, I think a lot of the business dealings Hunter Biden is doing is basically, like, these people are running this country into the ground in more ways than one. | ||
| From, from neighborhoods falling apart to the tribalistic nature of humans, of society right now. | ||
| I'm wondering if their attitude is just like, look, one man's not going to fix this. | ||
| Grab what you can, every man for himself. | ||
| I've been thinking about, oh, No, I was about to say, it's like a multi-layered hedge, basically. | ||
| You already know it's going to burn down, so why not extract all the wealth that you can, that way when it burns down, you're sitting kind of pretty, looking like royalty. | ||
| Then you can come back and the ashes are there, and then you can suddenly say, hey guys, we have money, we can fix this, and then you basically take all the credit, rebuild it, everybody's ground down and depressed. | ||
| It's kind of like Russia post-Soviet collapse, really. | ||
| That's that's why all the drinking ruski, you know, sort of, you know, those stereotypes come from because when the Soviet collapsed, they basically gave Russian people all these waivers and, you know, things like this when these people couldn't even feed themselves. | ||
| And so then basically you had the oligarchs in the American banks basically come over and buy up all almost all the industry and, you know, turn Russians into basically slave slave workers. | ||
| And then next thing you know, Well, it's bad, but now the oligarchs run everything and they've already got all the money. | ||
| Yeah, I got an idea. | ||
| If it's all going to come crashing down, go buy some chickens. | ||
| Buck, buck, buck, man. | ||
| Because the people who are able to sustain themselves more than others are going to be better off if this is the trend that continues. | ||
| I do think there's an alternative. | ||
| That's why I said we need to make America great again. | ||
| And I don't know if I'm saying it in the exact same way that all the Trump supporters are saying it, but I imagine, probably, when Jack Masovic brings up Pizza Hut when he was a kid, and there's a salad bar, and if you read a book in school, they gave you a free donut, and you got a free, I don't know, there's a bunch, all I remember was pizza. | ||
| That's all I remember. | ||
| Because I remember there was a pizza next to a Dunkin Donuts, so I'd get the free pizza and then when we were leaving I'd go get a free donut. | ||
| There was other stuff on it. | ||
| It was like drug addiction. | ||
| They give you the cheese and the high fructose corn syrup and the sauce with sugar and your donut. | ||
| The good old days, Ian. | ||
| She didn't know that we were at war. | ||
| Bro, I doubt back then they had all that stuff. | ||
| It was like after 92 is when the high fructose started coming in. | ||
| But we were living in a haze of ignorance at that time. | ||
| You know what though? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| The decline of literacy levels because I know you guys see in the schools how like kids can't even read anymore. | ||
| It started when they took away the personal pen pieces. | ||
| That's when it happened. | ||
| Now you see how they're tweeting? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my God, it gives me a headache, bro. | |
| It's all like court stenographer shorthand. | ||
| Yeah, and honestly, I grew up with it. | ||
| I don't know if you guys know this, but I'm black. | ||
| What? | ||
| Obviously, we have our own dialect and our own vernacular and stuff. | ||
| I assumed you were a white supremacist. | ||
| Dude, I know, I know. | ||
| Did you see those five guys, though? | ||
| Jesus Christ, you're not seeing black people anymore, man. | ||
| These white people out here are crazy. | ||
| But no, bro. | ||
| He's a white supremacist, man. | ||
| Dave Chappelle called it. | ||
| What were you saying? | ||
| We do real estate. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| So you're black. | ||
| Please continue. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Hierarchy, guys. | ||
| Hierarchy. | ||
| But no, it's just sort of funny, you know, when you sort of think about it, you know, I grew up in a world where, like, we used our own vernacular and our own dialect when we talked. | ||
| And it was mainly just because, you know, it was shorthand. | ||
| Certain words we just didn't know how to pronounce. | ||
| Now you see people out here purposely typing, like, purposely misspelling, and, like, the errors and just the misuse of there. | ||
| Oh, it's hard for me, man. | ||
| Like, where are all the semicolons? | ||
| You know, they exist for a reason. | ||
| It's two different subjects in one sentence. | ||
| There's no comma. | ||
| Use the semicolon to delineate the two subjects. | ||
| I'm going to write you a note, and I'm going to leave it in your room. | ||
| It's going to have no semicolons and improper punctuation. | ||
| I'm going to puke on myself. | ||
| Hey, I want to tag on what you're saying about the oligarchs earlier, because this has been crossing my mind last night. | ||
| I'm like, okay, this Russian invasion of Ukraine. | ||
| It's not Putin. | ||
| I mean, Putin's one of them. | ||
| It's the Russian oligarchs that are in charge. | ||
| It's basically a hyper-capitalist state of oligarchs are running that thing. | ||
| And it's no wonder they want to conquer a trade port in Sevastopol. | ||
| They want that trade. | ||
| Because it's what hyper-capitalists would do in civilization if you were playing against them and they had a government run by a bunch of uber people just like capitalists. | ||
| But I'm wondering, For the capitalists of the United States, the oligarchs of the United States, if they want to control the world, they would want to ally with the capitalists of Russia against, I would think. | ||
| Either they're too stupid and they think that really they can beat them in a sort of attrition, or they're intentionally taking us to war to kill off the common man so that, like you said earlier, they could come back and rebuild with all their finances. | ||
| That's where you're wrong, kiddo, because these aren't regular capitalists. | ||
| These are crony capitalists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Crony capitalists don't care about free market competition. | ||
| They just want to fix the game for them to win. | ||
| But, you know, it's funny you bring that up, because actually, you know, Russia now, the oligarch problem isn't near as bad as it used to be. | ||
| Like, I don't know if you guys noticed, but when the IMF came in and they tried to do what was called shock therapy, where you convert a formerly communist nation to a capitalist nation. | ||
| The oligarchs botched the whole thing on purpose because they wanted to buy all the infrastructure up for cheap. | ||
| Putin, when he came to power, actually drove most of those oligarchs out of Russia. | ||
| And guess where they went? | ||
| Ukraine. | ||
| Ukraine and to the U.S. | ||
| So a lot of this anti-Putin sentiment that we see, you know, Putin's Listen, let's go for what he is. | ||
| I mean, I'm not saying he's a good guy, but you know, compared to some of the other Russian leaders, the people of the Russian Federation, he's actually a moderate, you know, I've heard that. | ||
| And, you know, you can't take my word for the gospel, but a lot of Russians are, you know, pretty frustrated that he pity padded, you know, with the war that he had this kind of kid's glove approach with Ukraine to begin with. | ||
| And then, you know, when they brought in Serovich in or General Armageddon, basically now they're | ||
| going full scale anyways. | ||
| And they're just like, why didn't you do that before? | ||
| And it's, you know, it's kind of crazy how you have all this anti-Russian rhetoric going | ||
| anyways. | ||
| But it's just old oligarchs of the past and angry, rich boomers with a war grudge against | ||
| Russia just want to finish picking the bones clean because, you know, they have all that | ||
| gas, you know. | ||
| All that Cold War brainwash. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, man. | ||
| It's coming to roost. | ||
| So it's crazy. | ||
| I'm looking at some of the oligarchs on, I just went to Wikipedia, Russian oligarchs. | ||
| We have Arkady Rautenberg, Gennady Timchenko, Alisher Usmanov. | ||
| Are these names ringing a bell? | ||
| Peter Avin, Mikhail Prokhorov, Oleg Deripaska. | ||
| There's nine of them. | ||
| Vagat Alekperov, Vladimir Potanin, and Roman Abramovich. | ||
| He's probably the most famous name-wise, Roman Abramovich. | ||
| I've heard of him before. | ||
| What's crazy is the cost of property in Ukraine. | ||
| Because there's no way the average Ukrainian can own property. | ||
| Unless you're a coder. | ||
| So I, you know, I know people, I mentioned it, I have friends who are Ukrainian and they'll say that like the average salary is like 400 bucks a month or something like that. | ||
| And if you want to buy property, the prices are comparable to a property in the United States. | ||
| It's like $300,000 to buy a studio apartment in the city or something like that. | ||
| And if you're making $400 a month, you will never buy that. | ||
| But if you're a developer or coder, you're making $150,000 per year. | ||
| US, while living in Ukraine, you're living like a king. | ||
| You're over there. | ||
| So what ends up happening is, the way they described it to me, The property is all owned by oligarchs, and everyone else has to rent from them. | ||
| You can buy it, it's for sale, but only the wealthiest people and foreigners come and actually buy up the property. | ||
| Ukrainians struggle with it. | ||
| So they own nothing, but do they like it? | ||
| You know, it's a pretty chill place. | ||
| They got cabbage. | ||
| And you can get cabbage and beef and stuff like that. | ||
| When I was in Kiev, I was at the Maidan Square. | ||
| It was awesome. | ||
| It was a blast. | ||
| It's a cool place. | ||
| So it really sucks what's been going on, to be completely honest. | ||
| Going to little food buffets. | ||
| They had, I remember when I was there, they had like a music, they had a TV playing with music on it. | ||
| And then Paris Hilton came on. | ||
| Music video. | ||
| And then I was like, you guys get Paris Hilton here? | ||
| My friend was like, of course, we get all the American celebrities. | ||
| And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, you don't understand. | ||
| Paris Hilton music doesn't exist in the United States. | ||
| Like we don't listen to it. | ||
| And you guys do. | ||
| And that's kind of funny to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I was thinking about this invasion and where there's a lot of like kickback now from my friends that I guess you consider more liberal. | ||
| They're like, Ukraine is Ukraine. | ||
| We're not, we don't want Ukraine to give up anything. | ||
| Russians should not be invading. | ||
| Get out. | ||
| We will, we'll send American troops to die to keep up. | ||
| And I'm like, where was your voice when the United States invaded Iraq? | ||
| We're still invading Iraq. | ||
| The invasion doesn't stop the day after it starts. | ||
| If we're still at presence there, we were invading in the moment. | ||
| Where's your, why aren't you speaking out against what you can actually control? | ||
| A lot of them are too young, and just, if I can be crass, too stupid to even understand that. | ||
| People don't see the whole bigger picture, honestly. | ||
| You know, Ian mentioned we were living in ignorance, and someone super chatted saying, this is Christopher Marr saying, Ian, living in a haze of ignorance is called living the dream. | ||
| But I think what ends up happening is, you get a generation that raises their kids in ignorance, then when they pass on the world to those kids, this is what you get. | ||
| You get the Bidens. | ||
| You get people being like Vosh when he came on the show, and I'm like, isn't the corruption of the Biden family from when he was VP like a concern to you? | ||
| And he's like, oh, I don't know anything about it. | ||
| I was a little kid. | ||
| I was in high school when that happened. | ||
| I didn't pay attention. | ||
| And I'm like, oh. | ||
| So like, the bad guy runs for office 10 years later, and you're just like, I just heard of this guy. | ||
| You know? | ||
| You're like, uh-huh. | ||
| There's a lot of bad guys, you gotta look into who they are. | ||
| Yeah, I think that's what, you know, I can't say the RNC isn't guilty of this, but definitely the DNC, like, that's why they like young voters, because it's like a blank slate. | ||
| Yeah, the DNC. | ||
| Yeah, I would say the DNC, like, that's why they often push these guys. | ||
| I think the RNC too, I think all political parties operate this way, but I think anytime you get this new class of 18 year olds who have the right to vote, They don't remember 30 years of political history and especially it's even ones who are super politically engaged they just haven't had enough time to learn everything and all the nuances and why this senator doesn't get along with that one and this deal you know you can only know so much when you're young but getting them | ||
| Getting anyone to support your ideology, especially when you buy in with like sort of the name brand. | ||
| I think of a lot of modern politics like rooting for sports teams, you know? | ||
| Like you don't know why your family supports this team, you just do. | ||
| I think that is something that some political parties take in stride, you know? | ||
| They don't have to explain the sins of people they're now electing to president. | ||
| Things that they did when they were senators mean nothing to people who are new voters. | ||
| Let's jump into this next story, and it's kind of changing the subject, but it goes in line with what we were talking about. | ||
| We have this from TimCast.com. | ||
| PragerU personality details YouTube kids promoting LGBTQ content. | ||
| These videos are not child-friendly, and YouTube is pushing them to indoctrinate kids. | ||
| And it's worse than that. | ||
| This is Aldo Budizoni. | ||
| YouTube Kids is grooming children with LGBTQ propaganda. | ||
| Aldo, I think you actually need to, you buried the lead here, and I mean this with all due respect. | ||
| The real concern is that at a certain point he, so what Aldo says is he signed up an account made for 9 to 12 year olds, and then one of the first videos that pops up recommends a kid meets gender non-conforming person. | ||
| I'm not as concerned with just that. | ||
| The issue is when it gets into the ideas of consent, and they're telling children about consent, and they start talking about, here we go, consent is giving permission to someone or something. | ||
| Why are they giving 9 and 12 year olds consent lessons in a sexual context? | ||
| This is what's alarming about what YouTube Kids is doing. | ||
| So you think it's just in the schools, and Ron DeSantis has his plan to get rid of diversity, equity, and inclusion, but everybody in this is five steps behind what's actually been going on. | ||
| And going back to Elsagate, people have been giving their kids YouTube, their kids are then, they're like, YouTube Kids, it's good for you! | ||
| And then you get some adult, in a sexualized context like drag, saying, let's talk about what it means to consent. | ||
| And then, in this thread, I think it's in this thread. | ||
| You have Billboard Chris, we've met on the show, a guy telling him that their goal is to decouple age and consent. | ||
| Quite literally saying he wants 12-year-olds to be able to consent with adults. | ||
| This is what they're pushing on kids. | ||
| I'm not surprised by it, but it's got to be insidious. | ||
| It can't be overt. | ||
| They can't come out right now and just say it. | ||
| It's got to be a slow, creeping, malevolent force that goes under the radar. | ||
| So when mom and dad are busy with work and they hand the iPad to the kid and sign up for YouTube Kids because YouTube Kids is safe, what does YouTube Kids say? | ||
| Come here, little boy. | ||
| Come into a sexualized context where we can tell you about consent. | ||
| That's exactly what they're doing. | ||
| The internet and television is like inviting a stranger into your home to babysit your children. | ||
| If you wouldn't pick some random person off the street, you cannot trust anything that comes from the internet, cable TV. | ||
| It is written by someone you don't know for a company that you don't know what their values are. | ||
| Even if you pick one video, the YouTube algorithm immediately serves up another video. | ||
| There's no way for you to know for sure what's gonna happen. | ||
| And that's why, again, I can't help but think it's like inviting Just a random person you met at the grocery store to come watch your kids for two hours. | ||
| And I get it, like, it's hard to be a parent. | ||
| You've got a lot of stuff going on. | ||
| Sometimes you need a break. | ||
| You need to, like, have a way to engage your children that you don't need to be there present for. | ||
| But, like, TV is not it, sir. | ||
| What if I told you that the YouTube Kids app was promoting child strippers to your 9 to 12 year olds? | ||
| Well, that's in the thread. | ||
| Meet Desmond Is Amazing. | ||
| Now, of course, his family's quite litigious, but there's a video of him dancing on stage for money at an adult gay bar. | ||
| That is the same thing as go-go dancing. | ||
| Why is a child doing this, and why are they promoting this to other children? | ||
| Well, I'm... Degradation of society? | ||
| Well, that's for sure, is that people are overly sexualized children will become overly sexualized adults and think it's normal or okay out of their own guilt. | ||
| Like, hey, it's not so bad what happened to me, so, you know, this isn't so bad. | ||
| Which is, like, terrifying and sad. | ||
| Yeah, it really is. | ||
| Cycle of abuse. | ||
| But it's crazy because it also plays into what we've been talking about, about the erosion of community. | ||
| Again, when people are so into sex, when they're so into themselves and their own genders, like, they're not paying attention to what's going on. | ||
| They don't know about the local school board or city elections. | ||
| They don't know about any of this stuff. | ||
| All they know is just, you know, it's about my sexual identity, my proclivities, you know, indulging myself. | ||
| Nothing else matters outside of just treating yourself. | ||
| And it just it takes your eyes down, you know, basically. | ||
| And so it's, you know, everything in life can be likened to sports. | ||
| So basically what typically happens in football, you know, normally quarterback, he gets the ball. | ||
| He's looking up at the field. | ||
| He's trying to find a receiver to throw the ball to. | ||
| So he's got to be aware. | ||
| But then when pass rush comes, you know, they start throwing stuff in your face. | ||
| He takes his eyes down. | ||
| He can't throw the ball. | ||
| He can't pay attention. | ||
| You've suddenly stopped. | ||
| the game from progressing. | ||
| He can no longer progress the ball. | ||
| And that's what's happening with society. | ||
| We've taken our eyes off of the prize, which is advancing humanity, technology, everything else, you know, creating families. | ||
| And now we put it down on our genitals. | ||
| Quite literally looking up at the stars. | ||
| I think about sending probes to Alpha Centauri. | ||
| It'll take like 80 years for a probe to get there. | ||
| Can you imagine if we do that today? | ||
| In 80 years, we will have probes in Alpha Centauri. | ||
| Sure, 80 years? | ||
| Yeah, that's what I read anyway, a couple weeks ago. | ||
| That sounds like really fast. | ||
| Yeah, it sounds super fast, like within a lifetime. | ||
| I can go and double check it, but this was like, this is stuff we should be focusing on. | ||
| Aliens are watching, they're just going like, you know, they had a lot going for them when they went to that moon, and now I don't know what they're doing. | ||
| We thought they might be a threat, but not so much anymore. | ||
| Some rich alien oligarch just lost all of his bet on, like, this interdimensional betting app, and he's like, God dang it, humanity, you screwed the pooch! | ||
| But it reminds me of that expression, like, uh, you can't see beyond the nose on your face, right? | ||
| Like, if you can't stop but think about, like, your own identity and your own sexual pleasure, and we're introducing that earlier and earlier, like, how can you expect anyone to spend time thinking about, like, The society around them, or moral philosophy, or science, or anything else. | ||
| Everything is about the internal, and I think it's good to be in touch with your emotions, but you can't be so dominated by your personal consuming thoughts that you are divorced from the world around you. | ||
| But wait, there's more, because we gotta put a neat little bow on this. | ||
| This ties into Big Pharma, because now when you get all these kids exploring all of these alternative sexualities, Now you got the cisgender to trans pipeline. | ||
| So they can now suddenly, if they want to explore, let's get some puberty blockers. | ||
| Let's get some gender affirming care. | ||
| The next thing you know, again, that's where social media comes in. | ||
| You know, we're right here at the whole dead internet theory. | ||
| They start getting engagement from other people in that community. | ||
| They start flooding them and love bombing them. | ||
| And so now they get addicted to that. | ||
| The next thing you know, they take it further. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Now you're done. | ||
| Fully trans'd a kid from YouTube Kids. | ||
| And you know, that's omitting a lot of steps, but it's basically how it happens. | ||
| Let's talk about dead internet theory, right? | ||
| If people aren't on the internet, it's all bots, then where are the people? | ||
| Are they just not using the internet? | ||
| Never did? | ||
| Man, they're touching grass, touching all kinds of grass. | ||
| I think there are tons of people who are not as engaged. | ||
| Like, we talk about this a little bit, but like, for your job and for all of us, | ||
| like being connected to the internet, being on Twitter, stuff like that, | ||
| like it is part of a professional hazard. | ||
| Like you need to have the information. | ||
| But if you are like an electrician who gets up really early and works on jobs | ||
| and comes back and you hang out with your family, like you don't really have the time | ||
| to just scroll on your phone endlessly and keep up with who's mad at who on Twitter. | ||
| I mean, I think that there's just a life outside. | ||
| The other part is like some people actively choose not to be online, right? | ||
| They choose not to have television in their home. | ||
| They choose not to sign their kids up for, you know, Instagram or whatever else. | ||
| Like, you can be disengaged. | ||
| And you've talked about this a little bit, Ian, like... | ||
| There are alternative platforms, right? | ||
| Like, I know some parents who want to share photos of their kids, but out of privacy concerns, they don't use Facebook, they use something more private. | ||
| Like, there are people who don't rely on the rest of the world for entertainment and for us, professional content, and I think that's healthier. | ||
| It's just hard because, I mean, all of us need it. | ||
| Like, this is our job. | ||
| Yeah, I think about what if the power went out. | ||
| That crosses my mind at least every week. | ||
| I'm like, what would my life become if we had no electricity? | ||
| I mean, part of me is just, like, secretly in the back of my mind saying, like, please, just... Do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do it. | |
| Yes. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Because I got a van that can generate its own power and I'll be down by that river just fishing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| No, I think of, like... I'll show up looking back and just kicking the feet, some straw in the mouth, and just cast a line and forget about all of those. | ||
| Well, I think of, like, all the reporters who, like, had to go sit in really boring town hall meetings to, like, get the information. | ||
| Then they had to call people on the phone and talk to them constantly. | ||
| Like, journalists still do that from time to time, but, like, we are used to getting things much faster because we have the internet. | ||
| Now they just read tweets and report on tweets. | ||
| Like, literally. | ||
| MSN journalists. | ||
| I don't know what they do. | ||
| All they do is literally just write articles based on what... Oh, this world reacts to this, this world reacts to that, and they just... Oh, bro. | ||
| Do you know how many times some news outlet has picked up one of my fake tweets and ran it as fact? | ||
| No, for real, like, there's just, how about when I said the Queen should be impeached? | ||
| So I can't remember exactly what happened, but I said, impeach Queen Elizabeth, and then MEAWW.com wrote an article saying, you know, podcaster Tim Poole calls for, you know, Queen Elizabeth to be impeached, and I was just like, holy crap. | ||
| When that started, it was the indication of the rupturing of that form of media is when they just started quoting Twitter. | ||
| It was like 2013 or something. | ||
| Imagine this. | ||
| Journalists, like, from the New York Times, walking into the middle of, you know, the Lower East Side, and there's a guy outside just, like, rocking back and forth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're like, oh, impeach Queen Elizabeth! | |
| Sir, what was your name? | ||
| What was your name? | ||
| Bill Smith. | ||
| Let's run it. | ||
| And then he goes back to the New York Times and says, front page, Bill Smith calls for impeachment of Queen Elizabeth. | ||
| And then they're like, hey, look. | ||
| He's a nobody, but people are going to see the story and they're going to be like, wow. | ||
| And I wonder who this guy is. | ||
| That's what they're doing. | ||
| Bill Smith. | ||
| I hate that guy. | ||
| God damn rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble. | ||
| Oh God. | ||
| It's so funny though, because yeah, you, you sort of think about this and then this goes into AI, like AI is literally getting all the data off of all the crazy stuff that gets all the clicks. | ||
| And then it just incentivizes people to write even crazier articles, which causes people to tweet crazier stuff, bro. | ||
| And then people get in trouble for, like, interacting with tweets, too. | ||
| Like, we've moved beyond just, like, people writing stuff. | ||
| Like, it's like, oh, Ian Crossman liked the Impeach Queen Elizabeth tweet, so he is supportive of this movement. | ||
| Like, it's like, you know what I mean? | ||
| It just becomes this sort of hysterical culture off of something you wrote as a joke, or maybe you feel that way. | ||
| Maybe you liked Impeacher. | ||
| You can't impeach the queen. | ||
| I know. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| There have been several times where I've tweeted something that is intended to make neither point So, it's like, I meant to highlight just the circumstance. | ||
| Like, I called the MSNBC Yasmin Vesuvian story about how she got the cold and got myocarditis, and I said, I called it anti-vax propaganda. | ||
| Because what, she had a cold for three months? | ||
| Clearly, they're making a segment that was going to trigger anti-vaxxers and make them think this was it. | ||
| Like, I'm not intending to make any point other than this is the narrative. | ||
| This is like, Just highlighting this thing, basically. | ||
| But they will take it and be like, Tim Pool is dead serious and thinks MSNBC does these things. | ||
| And I'm like... And part of their story is also, look how many people are listening to this guy. | ||
| Look how many people are listening to that. | ||
| They don't point it out. | ||
| They're not like, it got 8,000 retweets, but they don't really report on stuff until it gets to a certain level of people listening. | ||
| And then they're like, we have to take it seriously. | ||
| But we don't really know how. | ||
| Accelerate. | ||
| Without writing a story about it. | ||
| At this point, guys, we just accelerate it as fast as we can, man. | ||
| Hot takes. | ||
| They write hot stuff. | ||
| People go mad. | ||
| People go insane. | ||
| And the looping cycle just continues. | ||
| Let me pull up this tweet. | ||
| This is an awesome tweet. | ||
| This is from Clay Travis. | ||
| He says lots of athletes are finally catching on that left-wing sports media ask them political questions so the left-wing sports media members can write their own left-wing political opinions. | ||
| Here's Azarenka calling that out. | ||
| I don't know if we can play, like, it's a longer video. | ||

What do you guys want us to do? | |
| Here we go, listen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
About it, like, talk about it. | |
| I don't know what's the goal here. | ||
| That is continuously brought up and this incidents that, in my opinion, have nothing to do with players, but somehow you keep dragging players into it. | ||
| So, what's the goal here? | ||
| I think you should ask yourself that question, not me. | ||
| Sorry, just to clarify on that though, does it frustrate you that, particularly last night for example, there was a clear pro-Russian demonstration happening within the grounds of the tournament, that these people are coming and using the Australian Open as a platform for these kind of demonstrations? | ||
| Does that frustrate you? | ||
| I... | ||
| Whatever the answer I'm going to give it to you right now, it's going to be turned whichever way you want to turn it | ||
| to. | ||
| See you later. | ||
| So, does it bother me? | ||
| What bothers me is there's real things that's going on in the world and I don't know, are you a politician? | ||
| Are you? | ||
| Are you covering politics? | ||
| Yes, and I'm a sports, and I'm an athlete. | ||
| I'm a sports journalist. | ||
| Yes, I'm an athlete. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe somebody says, are in my control, but I don't believe that. | |
| So, I don't know what you want me to answer. | ||
| So, anyway, here's what I love about this. | ||
| For one, obviously, these athletes are like, okay, at this point, what are you asking about? | ||
| We had that with, what was the name, Ivan Provorov, the Flyers, who was just like, look, I'll answer any question about sports, and then someone asked him about gay rights, and he's like, what did I just say? | ||
| So, here's the thing. | ||
| Dead internet theory. | ||
| We're talking about Twitter being dead, engagement is way down for whatever reason. | ||
| And I don't mean dead as in the platform's broken, I just mean like no one seems to be using it. | ||
| Now we've got dead internet theory, the idea that since like 2016 no one's really used the internet. | ||
| And now you have stories like this. | ||
| What you see from this Sports journalists have literally nothing to write about. | ||
| So, they go to, you know, what would you say, Malcolm, your principal career is? | ||
| Like, what's your main career? | ||
| Clinical research. | ||
| Clinical research. | ||
| So, I'm curious, when cooking eggs in the morning, do you agree with Chef Andrew Gruhl on adding vinegar afterwards and mixing it in? | ||
| Are there peer-reviewed studies on this? | ||
| See, I don't know what this question has to do with anything other than I can then go out and be like, you know, clinical researcher says no vinegar on eggs and it makes it sound like there is a scientific basis. | ||
| It makes a fake story and then they can go, I got a scoop! | ||
| A guy said a thing. | ||
| That's what the media is today for the most part. | ||
| Man, that is, that's scary. | ||
| Depressing? | ||
| People, because people still take it seriously. | ||
| That's the problem is that, you know, you were just saying it, you know, are people online like that? | ||
| Do people see this happening? | ||
| And you know, in real life, people still take journalists seriously. | ||
| That's what really freaks me out because, you know, they're getting Their information from these people who are basically like scraping the bottom of the barrel and saying, anybody got a scoop? | ||
| Who's got the scoop? | ||
| Who's got the? | ||
| And they literally write nonsense to which people export to the real world. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And this is what I always said was that, you know, back in the day, they always said Twitter's not real life. | ||
| I'm like, yeah, it's not real life, but it's got real life implications. | ||
| Like people literally use Twitter to source what they're going to take out to the other people and talk about around a water cooler or, you know, to write articles about. | ||
| Well, and like for this incident, like, First off, that athlete's Belarusian. | ||
| I just looked it up. | ||
| So are they trying to trap her into being representative? | ||
| And then also for this journalist, like, I'm so glad she's like, are you a politician? | ||
| She's like, I'm a sports journalist. | ||
| Like, is this sports journalist? | ||
| Like, here's my chance to get launched into the political on the political beat. | ||
| So I get more money or I can raise my profile because I had this good moment. | ||
| Like, it's just such a weird way to operate. | ||
| And especially since I know there are people who would love to cover sports journalism at this level, to go to the Australian Open and interview these people, because they love the sport, not because they are trying to make some political point to further their career. | ||
| Like, if you're gonna further your career on sports journalism, ask her about preparing for this match. | ||
| Ask her about something relevant. | ||
| Don't make her a poster child so you can sort of transition into the political beat for your publication. | ||
| I feel like the whole writing down what the guy said is kind of like 1994 journalism style. | ||
| You can just watch the video of what she said. | ||
| I don't need to hear someone write a story about what she said when I can listen to her say it. | ||
| Or I don't need to hear someone write down, she hit the ball three feet farther than the other girl who hit the ball. | ||
| I can watch the show. | ||
| I don't need that anymore. | ||
| I have internet video. | ||
| I can watch it 24-7. | ||
| It's on demand. | ||
| I gotta be honest, man. | ||
| People often ask, how do you do this job, watching all this stuff, reading all this stuff every day, and I'm like, you know, it does get really hard sometimes. | ||
| I mentioned that we were hanging out at the casino, because we like to go there now. | ||
| I started playing Hold'em last week, so I've played like five times now. | ||
| It's fun, I love that game. | ||
| Gotta learn how to play it, though. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| Anyway, the dealer was like, I hate politics, I don't want to talk about it, it's too awful, and I'm like, I totally get that. | ||
| Because what this country is devolving into is, our politicians are corrupt, everybody knows it. | ||
| Congress is corrupt, everybody knows it. | ||
| Have you guys ever heard that song, Everybody Knows? | ||
| Who's the guy who sang that song? | ||
| Everybody Hurts is R.E.M. | ||
| I don't know everybody knows. | ||
| The people in the chat are gonna know what I'm talking about. | ||
| And it's that line, like, everybody knows the fight is fixed. | ||
| The poor stay poor. | ||
| Leonard Cohen? | ||
| Yeah, Leonard Cohen, there you go. | ||
| The poor stay poor, the rich get rich. | ||
| That's just how it goes. | ||
| Everyone knows the dice were loaded. | ||
| It was Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson wrote it together. | ||
| Everybody knows. | ||
| And it's been that way for... when was that song written? | ||
|

|
1988. | |
| 1988? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Man, I was two years old when people were talking about how the system was completely broken. | ||
| And I grow up and it's only gotten worse. | ||
| Well, it seems like that. | ||
| It's become more apparent. | ||
| But I think that we have more control of citizens now than we used to. | ||
| I agree with that. | ||
| I agree there's an opportunity for success. | ||
| I agree there's an opportunity for the phoenix to rise from the ashes. | ||
| But I am not someone who just looks around and says, everything seems worse than it was when I was a kid. | ||
| I'm someone who decided to start asking older people. | ||
| And so whenever I go out in the past several months, past year or so, like the most recent thing, we went to the antique shop. | ||
| There's a guy and he's in his mid 60s. | ||
| And I said, have you ever seen it in your life this bad? | ||
| Never. | ||
| Never, in terms of the violence, in terms of the corruption, the tribalism, the bifurcation, all of these issues, the economy. | ||
| And I'm just like, look, I'm 36. | ||
| In about a month and a week, I'm going to be 37. | ||
| And I can tell you that in my life, it seems like things are way worse. | ||
| Even like the economic crisis. | ||
| Oh wait, to me? | ||
| Maybe I was just too young and I wasn't experiencing it. | ||
| No, it wasn't that bad. | ||
| Oh wait, it wasn't that bad. | ||
| Unless you had a lot of money in the markets. | ||
| Compared to where we are with like the lockdowns. | ||
| Nothing like it. | ||
| With the war. | ||
| Two years forced medication. | ||
| People not being able to leave their homes. | ||
| People dying. | ||
| And the World Economic Forum. | ||
| Talking about the Great Reset. | ||
| I mean this is like... | ||
| Dude, we literally just went from having people like become millionaires overnight for selling memes, meme stonks, basically. | ||
| And you know, and now, again, now we're sitting up here having the same people losing all that money and trying to reenter into the work. | ||
| Like it's bad. | ||
| Joe Biden gave, like, the authority of the American military to Vladimir Zelensky. | ||
| What the hell is going on? | ||
| As our president, in our lives, like, and you just hand it over carte blanche to this guy? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or not literally, but, like, just so much money and tanks and, like, you do what you need to do to defend something that is inescapable, amorphous. | ||
| I want to talk, before we move on too far from this, I want to talk about consent, which was part of this original story. | ||
| I don't know if we will tap it off, but like part of what these people were like getting young kids to come on, and this is part of like social degradation and things like that, trying to get 12 year olds to consent. | ||
| I'm thinking genetic age and solar age are different. | ||
| You can have an 85-year-old body that's been around the sun 85 times, but because you heal your body so much, it looks like it's 40 years old. | ||
| It essentially is a 40-year-old body, but you've been 85 years. | ||
| Just because you've been on Earth 18 times around the sun doesn't mean that you're more or less genetically evolved. | ||
| we might have 12-year-olds that are more mature in 150 years than 25-year-olds are today. | ||
| We may end up becoming... | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| But prepare for that crazy argument to come out when they argue for grooming 12-year-olds and stuff. | ||
| It's not the same. | ||
| That's literally what the guy said. | ||
| That's what the pedo guy was saying. | ||
| Because it's based on logic, but it's not based on reason. | ||
| The other thing is, when you get someone to consent under duress, it's not a real form of consent. | ||
| If they don't understand what they're consenting to, they're not really consenting legally. | ||
| So a child... Well, it's capacity. | ||
| If they have no capacity to consent, then you legally cannot, you know, sign a contract with that person. | ||
| And if you have a gun to their head and say, say you like it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I like it. | |
| See, he said he like... No, you can't do that legally. | ||
| That's not a legal admission. | ||
| I'll tell you when it goes too far. | ||
| When we start doing informed consent forms for research studies, for pediatric studies, where kids no longer need a parent guardian, because up until the age of 18, pediatric studies, and this is, you know, agreed upon by everybody ever since the Declaration of Helensky and all of these other things, And the Belmont reports that kids have to have a guardian that has capacity to sign that. | ||
| So when they start, you know, conducting research studies and, you know, God forbid, you know, your kid gets enrolled in a study or something and they didn't have to have you sign it. | ||
| That's when you know you've gone too far. | ||
| Have you seen that? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| And you can't. | ||
| That's an ethical violation. | ||
| you can't conduct research that way. | ||
| But it is a good marker, I mean, at that point. | ||
| Yeah, that's when you know. | ||
| And I wonder if that'll be introduced more gradually. | ||
| You know, you have questionnaires your kids can fill out at school without, | ||
| they're anonymous, it doesn't matter, and then you slowly ramp it up. | ||
| I mean, I think the issue for me with all of this is like, why does your 12 year old | ||
| need to know about consent? | ||
| Like, are you teaching them about consent before you're teaching them about safety, right? | ||
| Like, they should know by 12 that it's inappropriate for adults to approach them and talk about these things, right? | ||
| They're saying the opposite. | ||
| They're saying- Exactly! | ||
| Like, it's weird that they're like, well, before anything, let's make sure you understand consent. | ||
| And they might guise it as safety, right? | ||
| When you're older, maybe you'll need to know this. | ||
| But like, really, it's prepping. | ||
| It's, I know we're not supposed to say this, but grooming. | ||
| If the kid thinks that they know and society is telling them that they know, then what do they know other than that they know? | ||
| Yeah, and like, what are kids famous for? | ||
| For being like, I know everything. | ||
| I know better than anyone ever at all time. | ||
| Because that's just part of growing up, right? | ||
| So if you're like, well, I've taught them about content and they say they know, and they're 12 or 13, like, it just creeps me out. | ||
|

|
I don't know. | |
| The only time that Kamala Harris has ever said something that was ever correct was that one video where she said, kids are just really dumb and they're going to do dumb things. | ||
| But then her party now wants them to vote and now wants them to affirm to medical treatments and, you know, uh, sexual relations. | ||
| So. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I want to talk about Mr. Beast and Hasan Piker, because we had this story the other day that we didn't get into. | ||
| Mr. Beast cured, I think it was 1,000 people's cataract blindness with surgery. | ||
| And Hasan Piker got a bunch of, what is this, 24.8 million views? | ||
| Are you kidding? | ||
| Holy crap, look at this. | ||
| That's on Hasan's one? | ||
| So this tweet got 24.8 million views. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| The video was played 6.8 million times. | ||
| And it says, Twitch streamer Hassan explained why he was filled with rage from watching Mr. Beast's newest video where he cures a thousand people's blindness. | ||
| So let's play this. | ||
| It's only 45 seconds long and I think this is an important point | ||
|
unidentified
|
You watch the video you go, oh how cute and how nice I watch the video and I'm filled with rage. | |
| What's wrong with you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That we shut off access to a 10 minute procedure because we paywalled it and decided that like some people just simply can't get it. | |
| It is so insanely frustrating that it, like, it's up to, like, one YouTube guy to, like, decide to make content out of it that, like, the people who are too poor can't just fucking see. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| Anyway, sorry. | ||
| It's just, like, a deeply, deeply frustrating concept. | ||
| He's 80% right. | ||
| We didn't cut off access to cataract surgery. | ||
| It just costs money. | ||
| And he is right, though, that it's up to some YouTube guy to make content out of it to give these people the surgery they need. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| A lot of people were ragging on him, saying, like, he just discovered what charity is and things like that. | ||
| And I'm like, as long as we're giving $100 billion to Ukraine, I'm with this guy. | ||
| That $100 billion could be used to cure blindness of American citizens who are living in America in a country that is us, literally us. | ||
| So, well, I don't agree with him on, like, it's paywalled and we should just do it. | ||
| It's like, well, look, you gotta pay a guy to do it. | ||
| You know, you gotta cover his costs and everything. | ||
| You gotta incentivize him, you can't enslave him. | ||
| But how much money did we send to Ukraine? | ||
| $108 billion? | ||
| So, how much money did this cost? | ||
| $10,000 or $10 million? | ||
| If that, how much do you think it costs for this surgery to cure cataracts? | ||
| I think $10,000,000 is a good guess. | ||
| I'm checking it out now. | ||
| So we're talking $10,000,000? | ||
| Yeah, just $10,000,000. | ||
| Plus maybe a little bit more if he's housing them or flying them out or whatever. | ||
| Right, bringing them in. | ||
| But maybe it's not $10,000,000 for this surgery. | ||
| Maybe it's $4,000,000 or $5,000,000. | ||
| And I'm just sitting here thinking like, well, you know, I don't think we should just take people's buying power through taxation or through printing of money to then give someone else some kind of medical treatment. | ||
| So I probably disagree with Hassan on that one. | ||
| But look, if we're in a country that's sending all this money overseas for like gender studies programs, imagine if instead of Pakistani gender studies programs, we were like, we're gonna cure a bunch of people's blindness. | ||
| Reinvest. | ||
| So I gotta agree, it's kind of annoying that some YouTube got to make content out of it for these people to actually get the treatment they need. | ||
| Meanwhile, they don't fix our streets, they don't fix our bridges. | ||
| Here's what I'm saying. | ||
| I'm not necessarily saying that we should have taxation to fund this infrastructure or a new deal. | ||
| I'm saying, so long as they're taking all of our money, let's compromise and be like, spend it on us! | ||
| Fix our bridges, fix our roads, create jobs in construction that can restore our infrastructure, secure our borders, bring manufacturing plants back here. | ||
| Instead, it's war in Ukraine, a border country in which we are not on the border of, and then our people are blind and the YouTube guys gotta clip their eyes. | ||
| He also gave people 50 grand, a bunch of them. | ||
| And one guy, he gave a new Tesla because he had never been able to drive. | ||
| I saw the video. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| You guys should watch it if you haven't seen it. | ||
| And he's like, when I get my eyes fixed, I'm going to get a car and drive. | ||
| Like that was his dream. | ||
| And Jimmy, Mr. Beast, Jimmy Davidson, I think it's Jimmy Davidson. | ||
| Donaldson. | ||
| Donaldson, Jimmy Donaldson. | ||
| I mean, what a guy. | ||
| He bought a Tesla. | ||
| He's like, crazy. | ||
| And here's your Tesla. | ||
| Pop culture covered this today. | ||
| Pop culture crisis. | ||
| And they The sound thing or the? | ||
| The Mr. Beast covers this because a bunch of people on Twitter were like, well, he is the Antichrist. | ||
| Like, who is he to cure blindness? | ||
| Like, what? | ||
| Like, give this guy a break. | ||
| Like, I understand the objection that he has. | ||
| And I totally agree with you. | ||
| Like, if we're spending billions of dollars on Ukraine, it's hard not to be an American citizen and be like, we have problems that if you were going to spend this money, you should spend it domestically. | ||
| But I also think we shouldn't at all make this Mr. B's fault, right? | ||
| He tried to do a nice thing. | ||
| He has a lot of money and he's trying to help people. | ||
| Don't frame it as Jimmy cured their blindness. | ||
| The people cured their own blindness with the help of medical technology that Jimmy sponsored. | ||
| That's the story. | ||
| He wasn't like Jesus' hands on people, which he probably could have done. | ||
| And he made a ton of money because of it. | ||
| Yeah, oh yeah, the revenue on that is probably insane. | ||
| And just the PR is priceless. | ||
| That's the thing nobody, you know, nobody ever thinks about is the PR in charity is amazing. | ||
| And you know, there's no there's no better return on investment when it comes to advertising. | ||
| Well, I was talking about this earlier. | ||
| Imagine if big corporations did things like this for marketing. | ||
| Their whole thing was, we got a $50 million marketing budget this month. | ||
| I know, let's do the most good possible because it'll generate attention. | ||
| Imagine if Pepsi was like, I know how to get the best, most viral, look at this. | ||
| Remember that commercial they did with that Jenner lady and she walks up to the cop and hands him a Pepsi? | ||
| Think about how much money they spent on that and how it was just like, Total flop. | ||
| Bad. | ||
| Bad times. | ||
| Honestly, maybe not a flop. | ||
| We remember it, don't we? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I guess you're right. | |
| So maybe they were like, hey, it was a success, but they spend a lot of money on commercials | ||
| that don't do anything. | ||
| I'll tell you this right now, Pepsi, Coke, you want, look at what Mr. Beast did. | ||
| Take your marketing budget for the month and then just like get a bunch of homeless people | ||
| a good meal, cleaned up, help them find jobs, help them clean up their lives, and then you're | ||
| going to get 50 million views. | ||
| You're gonna get 100 million views. | ||
| Let me tell you what would piss you guys off the most. | ||
| is how much big pharma agencies probably get paid to make those generic commercials where it's just like b-roll of people just doing like basic things like people skipping through people skipping through a meadow people going to a bar and they literally make commercials for drugs like you see it every single drug commercial just has like people on random things like people on a cruise ship or and it's like scooters like going downhill And they spend millions, they spend millions on those ads just throwing it down the drain. | ||
| And it's just like, you sort of think about how much money is wasted and how that could actually be used to pay it forward like this. | ||
| Well, and I think about like the Ronald McDonald House, that was McDonald's big initiative to like give people a place to stay when your kids in the hospital. | ||
| And like Wendy's has the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. | ||
| Like there are businesses that have philanthropic efforts, but, and I'm not saying those two are perfect examples of this, but like Often it's like, look at this thing that we're doing, as opposed to just doing the thing, right? | ||
| Like, yes, Mr. Beast made a video of this. | ||
| Yes, he made money. | ||
| On the other hand, like, I don't really follow his content, but like, from what I know, this is sort of something he does. | ||
| He regularly tries to help people out. | ||
| Like, if you had a pharmaceutical company that just did a nice thing instead of staging a photo op, like, I guess I just don't trust them not to sort of Cheap in the effect, right? | ||
| It's about money. | ||
| And, you know, counterpoint to what you guys are saying, you know, how about, you know, we invest in, you know, doing these things, you know, if you start making a big deal about, you know, like giving away medical treatments and stuff, and you're a company that does that medical treatment, which, you know, logically, that's what you'd be equipped to give away. | ||
| Who's gonna buy your product anymore because they can just wait for you to give it for free. | ||
| Like this is what happened in Africa when we started, you know, doing all the food drops, you know, agriculture stopped because again, everybody was sort of subsisting off of a lot of food drops. | ||
| And so we sort of crippled them and that's just human nature. | ||
| So to a degree, I can see it, but I can also see, you know, when you start, like, de-incentivizing the profit motive, companies don't invest in, you know, researching these treatments to come up with new ones. | ||
| You know, we can give Pfizer all the crap we want about what they're doing, but at the same time, again, if one drug And I know this is going to sound terrible, but you know, if them making that money allows them to fund one drug that can save somebody from a terminal rare disease, you know, it's kind of like, well, you know, it's evil, but you know, I kind of see it. | ||
| But you want the other drug? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Yeah, that's hard. | ||
| I mean, it reminds me of, like, um, do you remember Tom's Shoes? | ||
| The, like... Oh, yeah, they did. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah. | ||
| The economy in those regions. | ||
| Yeah, but their whole thing was like, if you buy a pair of shoes from us, like, you're spending money, but we're giving shoes away, right? | ||
| So, like, theoretically, this sounds good, but there are, of course, consequences. | ||
| They destroyed the economy in a bunch of African towns, because the cobblers all went out of work and couldn't buy anything. | ||
| Everybody had free shoes, but it was, you know, the guy who gets the leather goes to the cobbler, the cobbler then makes the shoes, and then buys the leather. | ||
| All of a sudden, no one's buying leather anymore. | ||
| All of a sudden, the guy who makes the shoes can't make money. | ||
| Now, because he can't make money, he's not buying the leather. | ||
| The guy who gets the leather can't make money, he can't buy food, neither can buy food. | ||
| Now the farmer is like, I don't have any money to get the tools I need to make food, and the economy just collapsed. | ||
| No, I'm saying like, you know, look, people who are blind need surgery. | ||
| for each other, making the machine work. | ||
| And then some rich people came in and dumped a bunch of shoes on them. | ||
| No, I'm saying like, you know, look, people who are blind need surgery. | ||
| I mean, that's just giving jobs to doctors, I guess. | ||
| Jimmy actually pointed out, is this not even like a great thing for capitalism in general | ||
| to put, you know, people that were before, you know, broken or hurt back into the workforce | ||
| They're healed, they're healthy, they're ready to work. | ||
| So that's a good thing for capitalism as well. | ||
| Though what he was doing technically, I don't know if you'd say it was a capitalist thing or not. | ||
| It's irrelevant. | ||
| I think it's charitable, right? | ||
| Form of charity for sure. | ||
| But he's made a ton of money off it with his YouTube ads. | ||
| And he's doing it for money. | ||
| I mean, he's doing it because he loves people. | ||
| That's the real reason, but he knows that he can make money off of charity. | ||
| He started with his mom when he paid off her retirement. | ||
| That video went crazy. | ||
| He's talking to her and he's like, get this. | ||
| This will be a good screenshot for the video, Mom. | ||
| And then she's like, oh my God, Jimmy! | ||
| And he's like, thumbs up. | ||
| But is that wrong? | ||
| If you are doing something good, but you make money off it, you benefit. | ||
| Especially when you see, I mean, he is an example of how great something like that can become. | ||
| He's like Oprah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Does he give much stuff away? | ||
| And he owns his own everything. | ||
| Does she still do that? | ||
| Cause she's retired now. | ||
| She does her one dramatic interview a year. | ||
| But I'm pretty sure it was like the companies would sponsor giving that stuff away. | ||
| It's not like she was giving it away. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's the thing about him. | |
| He makes the money and he gives it away. | ||
| He said he's going to give all his money away before he dies. | ||
| All of it. | ||
| I think that's a bad idea. | ||
| Help him to keep it? | ||
| So I've thought about this. | ||
| You know, like, where do you invest and what charities do you support? | ||
| And that's why we're working on the Truth in Media one. | ||
| Because the issue is, I see these stories like Bezos' wife, Mackenzie Bezos, gives all that money to Wokeness. | ||
| So these people are like, I'm gonna do good. | ||
| I'm gonna give my money to Black Lives Matter. | ||
| And then you're like, buying people mansions, not really solving the problem. | ||
| And I've had experience with these non-profits, so I just don't trust them. | ||
| And a lot of people are like, I'm going to give my money away, and I'm like, you're going to flush down the toilet. | ||
| It's like Sam Bankman Freed and his effect of altruism. | ||
| And he's talking about, oh, how can I give the most causes that cause the most good? | ||
| And then he just donates to the Democratic Party because he believes that the Democrats cause the most good. | ||
| He donated people's money. | ||
| Other people's money. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| That's the distinction. | ||
| So again, somebody would say, oh, that's like Robin Hood. | ||
| But then, you know, it's reverse Robin Hood. | ||
| He's still chaotic, evil. | ||
| You know, we got Robin Hood. | ||
| We got we got to talk about this. | ||
| We got to talk about these two stories, because we were talking earlier about cultural decay and societal decay. | ||
| We were talking about how it was Jack Posobiec. | ||
| His neighborhood was falling apart. | ||
| He's never going to he hasn't brought his kids back to see his childhood home. | ||
| Welcome to MILF Manor, the most repulsive, exploitative, sordid, hate-to-hate show of all time, where blindfolded moms rub down shirtless sons and TV finally hits rock bottom. | ||
| This is, uh, MILF... MILF Manor, where moms go and get a bunch of sons and they rub them. | ||
| This is a 30 Rock joke. | ||
| On 30 Rock, they made MILF Island. | ||
| And they're actually doing the show right now. | ||
| And then I want to give a special shout out to Dana White for Power Slap. | ||
| Power Slap set to have its pay-per-view debut in March with the league's success. | ||
| This is the show where people slap each other in the face. | ||
| I take turns to do it. | ||
| And it's like, you gotta not get knocked down and get back up or something. | ||
| This is literally on my balls. | ||
| Have you guys seen Idiocracy? | ||
| No reclipse. | ||
| In Idiocracy, it's Luke Wilson, it's a research experiment for hibernation, they forget about him, it's funny, it's Mike Judge, and then he wakes up 500 years in the future, he goes to some guy's house, and then, is there something, is there audio playing? | ||
| Oh, there is. | ||
| And then, yeah, they're cheering for the slap fight. | ||
| And then he's watching a show called Ow, My Balls, and it's literally a guy who's just like, he falls on a fence, goes, ow, my balls! | ||
| And then like someone throws a football and goes, Oh, ow, my balls! | ||
| And that's the whole show, and then the guy's watching going like... This is that. | ||
| I'm sorry, dude. | ||
| Jackass without the stunts? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pretty much. | |
| On my balls. | ||
| You see the clips from this where people just, they go and they have seizures? | ||
| Dude, we gotta play at least one. | ||
| The one where the guy's face is huge on the left side. | ||
| This one? | ||
| This guy. | ||
| So what they're doing is they're standing with their arms behind their back about two feet away from each other across a table and they are not allowed to guard or defend. | ||
| That's the thing about boxing that's legit is you can defend yourself. | ||
| You can't defend yourself in the sport. | ||
| And then they just take CTE. | ||
| They take palm bone to the face over and over until they fall down and go unconscious. | ||
| Look at this guy's face, man. | ||
| Like, this guy's taken multiple shots to the side of the head. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's why his head looks like this. | |
| Apparently it's a sport in Eastern Europe or something like that. | ||
| I don't know where it originated, no idea. | ||
| But they don't step into it. | ||
| They just stand and slap like this. | ||
| And in this, they take a full step and can turn their whole body and get their whole weight behind it. | ||
| And it's so much more force. | ||
| They not have the video sometimes like you can move and they can use palm | ||
| strikes. Yes. And that's, like I said, it just, it takes the sport of slapping another person. Yeah. It's | ||
|
unidentified
|
not a sport. | |
| And then it just, it just makes it knockouts. The palm, those knockouts, | ||
| the bone on the palm coming behind the jaw and like pull it forward. | ||
| And some of the strikes I, it is, it is like, I hope, well I'm afraid that someone's going to get killed and then | ||
| it's going to be Dana's just laughing about it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I haven't talked to Dana about it. | ||
| How do you win? | ||
| They go back and forth and they hit each other until someone can't stand anymore or has a seizure? | ||
| Until someone either bows out or gets knocked unconscious. | ||
| With UFC, there's weight classes, right? | ||
| Do you pair people up based on size or is it random? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No idea, but I don't think so. | |
| There's a women's division. | ||
| I haven't seen a guy and a woman, a man and a woman yet. | ||
| Power slap on YouTube. | ||
| Do they actually show? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'm sure they will. | |
| Here, right in the beginning. | ||
| And they're like highlighting these gruesome knockouts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He is buzzing. | |
| Welcome to Power Slap from the fight capital of the world, Las Vegas, Nevada. | ||
| It's not really a fight, but... | ||
| This sport that we're about to be in, it will be up there with boxing. | ||
| It'll be up there with karate. | ||
| No, it won't. This is so dumb. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I'll be able to be a pioneer within this sport. | |
| I've been through a lot in my life. | ||
| Growing up on the streets, so I deal with everything. | ||
| There ain't gonna be no chance of me quitting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was brought up in a quite rough area, so yeah, I've had to look after myself a few times. | |
| I think that'll help in the competition. | ||
| I just grew up tough. | ||
| We had nothing. | ||
| You know, so I want some of you things to have something, to come feel all this rage and all this pain in this hand, because I will put it in their face. | ||
| I came out here to do one job, and one job only, and that's to put on a f***ing show. | ||
| I don't feel like any human could sustain an unconstructed shot on me. | ||
| I hurt people, that's what I do. | ||
| Nobody f***ing touch me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm untouchable, baby. | |
| You gon' remember my name! | ||
| This is where we're gonna separate the men from the boys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The hardest hitters, a lot of trash talking, a lot of energy from start to finish. | |
| I don't care who you are. | ||
| I gotta say, I'm a huge fan of Dana White, the UFC, I love it all. | ||
| This show just is really confusing. | ||
| I think he's got the song. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I feel like... Okay, he's totally wound up. | |
| Yeah, see, it's just knockout porn, dude. | ||
| Yeah, knockout porn. | ||
| That's all it is. | ||
| Yeah, that's my way of describing it. | ||
| Doctors come in, they're like, this guy's gonna have a CTE, this guy's gonna have a trauma. | ||
| Hey, now, we are doing this for free on WorldStarHipHop. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I know, it's free. | |
| Wait a minute. | ||
| How is, what, I don't get it, what is this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's, it's a, it's a bastardization of something that is already popular, that Dana Weiss... Yeah, I was gonna say, all of this reminds me of UFC. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Just, except for the actual contact. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, that's when they get that, the, the palm bone across the cheek jaw is like the work. | |
| Critical hits. | ||
| Yeah, but look, like, in, in UFC and MMA, people, they fight, they block, they defend, they make mistakes. | ||
| It's like, it's like a... It's a sport. | ||
| It's a chess, it's a combat. | ||
| It's a strategy, yeah, it's really interesting. | ||
| This is, stand still, I'm gonna try and hit you as hard as I can, and you're gonna get hit. | ||
| Someone tweeted out, what is it next, like, see who can survive a stabbing the best? | ||
| If you ever watch the show How I Met Your Mother, they had like a slap bet, right? | ||
| And like, if you lose the bet, you, like, one character gets to hit the other one as hard as he can, like, whenever. | ||
| And it's like that cross UFC. | ||
| Like, I don't, I don't understand why this would be fun. | ||
| Also, like, are they going to try to do, like, the wrestling thing where they're like, oh, well, these two have a rivalry because he hit him really hard in the face. | ||
| Like, I got it. | ||
| It's just weird. | ||
| You guys ever played doorknob? | ||
| Someone farts and then you punch them in the shoulder or something? | ||
| Until they touch a doorknob? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You yell doorknob and then you're allowed to hit them in the arm until they touch the doorknob or they fart and say safety and you can't call doorknob. | ||
| That's the game. | ||
| We get a bunch of guys in a ring and they're all standing around and then everyone's got to eat a can of beans an hour before the event and then you're standing there and then as soon as someone hears it everyone yells doorknob and then you'll hear the guy yell safety and then like the timer will call and be like It's good! | ||
| It's good! | ||
| running and start wailing on the guy trying to get to the doorknob. | ||
| But the doorknob's on a string and it's swinging back and forth. | ||
| And like occasionally disappears. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a jog. | |
| It's swinging around. | ||
| Or he's got to open, or somebody pulls a card and like the doorknob's in a box, you got | ||
| to open boxes as quick as you can to try to find it. | ||
| What's the key, what's the key, what's the key? | ||
| Combat doorknob. | ||
| That would be more artful than this. | ||
| Honestly, there's got to be some kind of skill component. | ||
| It can't just be who can get the critical hit. | ||
| Also, how do you train for this? | ||
| Who goes first? | ||
| Do you train to fall down or do you train to slap? | ||
| Do you guys remember in South Park when Cartman would be like, let's Rochambeau for it? | ||
| I was like, what is that? | ||
| First, I kick you in the balls. | ||
| Then you kick me in the balls. | ||
| And whoever's still standing wins. | ||
| Yeah, who goes first? | ||
| And then he goes, I'll go first. | ||
| And then he kicks him in. | ||
| So if you're training in power slap, I would imagine your training, your sparring partner, they call it sparring, isn't going to try and break your face because you're going in to perform pretty soon. | ||
| So there might, I can't imagine that they're going as full force. | ||
| So how can you possibly prepare for something? | ||
| I don't know because in Muay Thai we have hard sparring too and you know some it depends like | ||
| you know if you're a light spar maybe you're just focused on like the technical maybe it's just the | ||
| fingers just tip but maybe if you're hard sparring you know you like giving some full palm action you | ||
| know you like to get real deep in there on the I don't know man this is this is what we're reduced | ||
| We're having philosophical conversations. | ||
| American Gladiators was like... Agility. | ||
| Who was that? | ||
| Bill Hicks? | ||
| He ragged on American Gladiators. | ||
| He's like, here's 68 channels of it or whatever. | ||
| It's like, we made fun of it, but that, they had padding, and they had those big Q-tip things, and they were trying to knock each other in the foam pit. | ||
| At least that was fun and silly and no one really got hurt. | ||
| American Ninja Warrior? | ||
| I love American Ninja Warrior. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| It's fascinating. | ||
| You know what I don't like about American Ninja Warrior? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| It's not fair to women. | ||
| Oh yeah, the upper body strength requirements. | ||
| It's not that. | ||
| It's the, what is it called, the spider walk or whatever? | ||
| It's two walls, and you have to jump into it and put your hands... If you're tall with a large arm span, no problem. | ||
| But there are women who are really good, really fit, with great upper body strength, and their hands just don't reach. | ||
| And I'm like, how are they supposed to do it? | ||
| Their hands don't reach. | ||
| That's dumb. | ||
| But this gives them a chance to have it to be innovative and like figure out how to get through it and then the first one that does it we're like wow she was so sideways yeah sideways put her back like I don't care I feel like yeah that's true and it's it's fair to acknowledge it but like it's a chance for her to really overcome true adversity. | ||
| I shouldn't say unfair to women, it's unfair to people with smaller stature or shorter arms, but it tends to be the women. | ||
| Because I'm watching, I watched one where the woman, her fingers touched the edge and just falls and it's like she tried, like her arms aren't longer. | ||
| Well and like what are they supposed to do if they like readjust the wall so they're closer, it's like slightly unfair to all the other competitors. | ||
| Like that's what I liked about American Ninja Warriors, they just sent anyone down that thing and like it doesn't matter who you are and like some people struggle on some things, other people struggle on other parts of the course. | ||
| Like it's fascinating to watch because it just depends on I don't know. | ||
| Maybe we should make the doorknob show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Please don't. | |
| Cast Castle special. | ||
| Kofi Jami. | ||
| Doorknob! | ||
| The Cast Castle guys are outside like, yeah, we got it, man. | ||
| And then like the two O's and the word door eyeballs, like looking in. | ||
| Doorknob. | ||
| No, it's got to be like one-on-one. | ||
| And it's like two guys go into a ring one hour after eating a can of Bush's baked beans. | ||
| They're a main sponsor. | ||
| And then there's like, they're waiting and they have like boxing gloves. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But you can't strike the opponent until they fart and you call doorknob. | ||
| Or, but if they call safety, you can't. | ||
| And then, you know, that'd be great. | ||
| That's where we're headed. | ||
| I'm waiting on this. | ||
| This is actually going to be gold. | ||
| This is the next big thing. | ||
| People are going to be hanging out at bars and be like, you want to put on doorknob? | ||
| I used to play that when I was a kid. | ||
| I'm having a hard time saying this, but I want to talk about Milf Island. | ||
| It's Milf Manor. | ||
| Back to true culture. | ||
| Back to what I understand. | ||
| Milk Manor is weird. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Okay, I have just read very little about it, but like, it's a bunch of women who you might consider cougars, like their moms, all of them have to be, and they go to, I assume you would consider them a cougar, I'm not an expert, you go to like, they were filming in Mexico, but one of the requirements is that they bring one of their single sons. | ||
| So like, their son is living with all these guys, they're sort of weirdly group dating, because as a culture we've decided that's something we're into. | ||
| And like, therefore, like, I saw one clip of it and this one mom is like, careful ladies, I might sleep with your son! | ||
| Like, I just don't like it! | ||
| It's so creepy! | ||
| So like if if your mom is single and you have a brother who's also single they could go on this show but your brother will be living with all these guys who are kind of trying to sleep with your mom. | ||
| Bro like imagine imagine that you're going to school and you find out that your mom is on this show and like you're getting roasted in the class you're getting roasted in the class and you you have like one good clap back and they say but your mom was on milfiling Like, what do you say about that? | ||
| Like, what do you say back to that? | ||
| Nothing, you just hang around in shame and then go to a different school. | ||
| Or I'm gonna be like, my mom ran mill filing. | ||
| I feel like you would be like, go mom, I'm proud of you. | ||
| At this stage of my life, yeah. | ||
| Or like, in all seriousness, you're gonna be like, yeah, well, at least she won. | ||
| How do you win Mel's Island? | ||
| What is winning this show? | ||
| You get voted off the island or something? | ||
| It's different for everybody. | ||
| I can't believe this. | ||
| So what, they each bring a son and then they pass their sons around to other ladies? | ||
| I've never seen a full episode, but like, What were those things called where the swinger parties, they put all their keys in a bowl? | ||
| Yeah, white parties. | ||
| I think that's what those are called. | ||
| White parties. | ||
| You put all your keys in a bowl and then they mix them together and when you're leaving you grab it. | ||
| White parties might be coke parties. | ||
| Yeah, probably that. | ||
| Yeah, I almost went to one of those swinger parties. | ||
| I almost went to one with this girl in LA and I just... I never did. | ||
| It's kind of weird. | ||
| I went a little crazy. | ||
| It just seems weird to me. | ||
| Swingers. | ||
| This one seems particularly weird because like, what conversations are you guys having where it's like, Come on, John. | ||
| Please come on the show. | ||
| Mommy really needs to meet a younger man. | ||
| It's probably from the people from the porn generation that saw porn when they were kids. | ||
| They were raised when they were 11 and 12, watched MILF porn. | ||
| Probably the producers of the show watched MILF porn when they were younger. | ||
| I want to be in that boardroom. | ||
| I want to figure out what those people were on, man. | ||
| Because they were on the good good. | ||
| Let's let's let's let's just switch something a little bit more wholesome. | ||
| Have you guys seen professional tag? | ||
| Yeah, that's fun. | ||
| It's like an obstacle course and like one guy's got to get away from the other guy and he's running around and you know, that's fun. | ||
| They're like jumping through obstacles and swinging through bars and the guy's just trying to touch him. | ||
| That's fun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We got we got a professional Red Rover or something. | ||
| That would be so cool. | ||
| I don't know how you got to have like the 10 cats variety like game show where like every time you just come up with like a new game show every week. | ||
| We could totally do that at the new studio, because you have that big building. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, true. | |
| I was thinking of a game called Do You Want to Live? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't even want to talk about this on YouTube. | |
| It's a skit, so I don't know if it's going to play for TV, but we could do it behind the scenes, you know? | ||
| Do You Want to Live? | ||
| And it's a joke about the Canadian assisted suicide stuff, where people come in, they're suicidal. | ||
| You're like, well, and then you get them all inspired. | ||
| But then the skit would be like, at the end of the show, the family comes in, they're like, thank you so much, I love my life. | ||
| And then they're like, yeah, I thought about it, but I still want to kill myself. | ||
| I'm going through with it. | ||
| My God, it's so dark! | ||
| No, no, yeah, what you do is, so, um, I watched this thing, it said that every person who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and survived... Yeah, regretted it. | ||
| ...said that they, yeah, they regretted it. | ||
| They realized that... And then as soon as they jumped, the first thing they thought was that all of life's problems could be solved, except having just jumped off this bridge. | ||
| So that means people who didn't make it were in regret. | ||
| So you take people who are looking for a maid, and then you make life flash before their eyes, in a manner of speaking, and then they're all of a sudden like, I love life! | ||
| You know? | ||
| It's like in Fight Club. | ||
| Remember in Fight Club when Tyler Durden holds up the liquor store guy? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| And he's like, Raymond K. Hassle, what did you want to be? | ||
| And he's like, a veterinarian! | ||
| And he's like, and why aren't you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's too hard! | |
| And then he says something really awful that I'm not going to repeat because we're on a family-friendly show. | ||
| And then he's like, I know where you live. | ||
| If you're not on your way to becoming a vet, I will come to your house or whatever. | ||
| And then he runs. | ||
| And then Edward Norton's like, why would you do that? | ||
| What's the point? | ||
| And he's like, tomorrow, Raymond Castle's breakfast will be the most delicious meal he's ever tasted. | ||
| Can I go back to Milk Manor for a second? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry. | |
| Family friendly! | ||
| Something just crossed my mind. | ||
| They couldn't make this show in reverse. | ||
| It couldn't be like DILF, like Dad's Island, right? | ||
| You're a single dad, but you have a single daughter and you guys come to the island and then date each other. | ||
| What if they identify as MILF though? | ||
| Then it's okay. | ||
| But you know what I'm saying? | ||
| If it was dads and daughters, everyone would be creeped out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It would be so weird. | |
| The dads would get angry with each other. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hopefully. | |
| You gotta give it 10 years. | ||
| Open up this police! | ||
| I just don't understand! | ||
| It probably wouldn't do well if it was called, like, Young Studs, too. | ||
| If it was focused on the young guys that were gonna get laid with the older women, that might not play as heartily as, like, we're doing this for the ladies. | ||
| Like, this is all about strengthening women in our society. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I just don't like this at all. | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| The gamification of porn, man. | ||
| Yeah, that's a good way of putting it. | ||
| I just feel like if it's creepy if you made it adult men and younger girls, you should also see it as creepy if it's older women and younger men. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Isn't that just Epstein's Island at that point? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| I was talking about how we're gonna do a morning show that's news. | ||
| Kind of like The View, but with sane women, because we've got women who work here, moms, and then other people who have asked, like, is there some way there can be a show that's like moms talking about issues that matter to them in politics and culture, because The View certainly ain't in it. | ||
| And then I was like, we could totally do it. | ||
| We've got a bunch of people that come in and out of the show who are friends of ours, that are guests, that are moms, that talk politics, that are sane, moderate, totally conservative or libertarian, even a little liberal. | ||
| Sounds good. | ||
| Someone just super chatted. | ||
| Scrubby McScrubberson says, please name the morning mom news show MILFCAST IRL. | ||
| We won't, but I appreciate the super chat, because that was a good one. | ||
| That was a good one. | ||
| I actually am really excited for the new space, and they're hard at work on it. | ||
| But we can totally do fun little game show things. | ||
| I'm down for that. | ||
| We should totally do it with Cast Castle. | ||
| Have, like, weird contests. | ||
| Yeah, Hole in the Wall. | ||
| I was a huge fan of that game show. | ||
| Yeah, that's a good one. | ||
| That's so cool. | ||
| They'd be standing on, like, a moving platform, and the wall would be moving towards them, but there would be, like, a cutout on the wall of a body. | ||
| Yeah, they have to make the same position and like stand in the right spot or they get pushed off the platform | ||
| And it's so funny. They're like turn at the last minute They're like because they realize like three feet off and | ||
| they're trying to modulate and yeah We should think of weird stuff we can do like that's that's | ||
| not vulgar and just disturbing like MXC. Yeah No, I mean that you know, we could do like MXC like like | ||
| Red Rover contest or something You can't really do a Red Rover cause it's not really a game. | ||
| We closed on the dude hard in that game once. | ||
| It was Tom. | ||
| I don't remember his last name. | ||
| We could do like a pro freeze tag. | ||
| It was for 35 years ago, but you're okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| Pro freeze tag. | ||
| That'd be so fun. | ||
| I think part of like entertaining stuff is like, I think so many people who make entertainment right now are like, it has to either be sexual or it has to be super violent. | ||
| And actually, like, what's entertaining is seeing people, like, try hard, you know what I mean? | ||
| Like, with American Ninja Warrior, like, pro freeze tag, like, people are trying to accomplish something. | ||
| And, like, we like that. | ||
| We root for people who are trying to, like, achieve. | ||
| Somebody super chatted saying, DILF, this is Heron Gaming, saying, DILF Island would be two shows in one. | ||
| It would become an MMA show. | ||
| So how about Dilf Island? | ||
| Actually, this would be a really great sketch where it's like 10 MMA fighters with 20-year-old daughters, and they're all brought in, and it's just all the dudes beating the crap out of each other. | ||
| Like, he's trying to talk to this girl, but also he's got his eye on his daughter and that other guy who's talking to her. | ||
| Like, it'd be terrifying. | ||
| That'd actually be a great show. | ||
| But also, like, all the men would be accused of being super creepy. | ||
| And like, I think that should apply to these women who are like, you're the same age as my son. | ||
| Great. | ||
| And they're rubbing their chests. | ||
| Like, what? | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| It's super weird. | ||
| We live in a weird, weird society. | ||
| This is why I'm like, cultural decay, man. | ||
| Look, they're rebooting King of the Hill. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Not rebooting, they're restarting it. | ||
| They're doing new seasons. | ||
| And, like, Brittany Murphy, who voiced Luanne, is not around anymore. | ||
| And what, Bobby Hill is going to be the same little kid or something? | ||
| They're doing a new Frasier. | ||
| I thought he already got a spinoff. | ||
| Frasier is a spinoff of Cheers, and then now they're doing another one, and it's just like they keep remaking things. | ||
| They're out of ideas. | ||
| Netflix is buying cancelled shows and then restarting them. | ||
| It's like, do we have anything left as a society? | ||
| Are humans just stagnant and bored? | ||
| Well, I think they also don't want to take the risk, right? | ||
| Like, if you put a new show out there, then you are like opening yourself up to cancel. | ||
| If I recycle old material that at one point you were kind of okay with, I'm protecting myself a little bit. | ||
| I don't like it, but that's why I have to watch all the Fast and Furious movies, because I was very anti-sequel, and then I lost a bet on pop culture. | ||
| Have you seen any of them? | ||
| I'm up to five, I think. | ||
| I've seen one through five, but I have to get to nine before the next one comes out. | ||
| Are you actually registering what's happening, or do you just have them on in the background? | ||
| I watch them and I take notes so I can report live. | ||
| It's the most intense journalism I've ever done. | ||
| If you love car movies, yeah, I get why you're into it. | ||
| I am not into them, so I don't tend to become very invested in them, right? | ||
| Like Fast and Furious. | ||
| Yeah, I'm not. | ||
| Fast cinematic universe. | ||
| No, I disagree. | ||
| They went to outer space. | ||
| Stop saying that! | ||
| That's not a good reason! | ||
| Cars out of planes, and we were like, whoa, this is amazing! | ||
| Now they got cars in outer space. | ||
| But they could have done that in a different movie with different characters, and we would have been like, whoa, cars in space! | ||
| No, no, no, look, look, look. | ||
| It's the evolution of the movie series that makes it so amazing. | ||
| It's like every movie they do, they add something to it, and now that they're going on to like, what is it, episode 10 or whatever? | ||
| They already went to outer space! | ||
| I'm ready to see Vin Diesel get superpowers. | ||
| Or a mech suit, and a villain shrinks down his car and goes into a guy's body. | ||
| And then he has to shrink down his car and chase him through the veins, like driving on the veins? | ||
| Like Fantastic Voyage! | ||
| But you know the movie where the guy goes, he shrinks down? | ||
| Except, but like you have a villain element to it. | ||
| Osmosis Jones, who's like a white blood cell that he went through the body. | ||
| I just want to know if in the 10th movie there's a Tesla. | ||
| Because that seems like it makes sense to me. | ||
| Elon Musk's got to be in it. | ||
| Like I've never thought about cars so much in my life as I have while watching this franchise. | ||
| You go to lithium mines and free a bunch of slaves. | ||
| I will personally lobby any production house or whoever's gonna fund this for the next Fast and the Furious movie, Vin Diesel and the crew are driving, they're testing an experimental new car with like a fusion, you know, plasma reactor that explodes and the energy hits all of them and they all get a different superpower. | ||
| And then, but one of them turns bad. | ||
| And then, like, Doctor Doom. | ||
| And then, you know, they're fighting and, like, Vin Diesel is, like, super strong and can jump really high and he, like, punches the ground and the ground explodes and the other guy can shoot lightning from his fingertips or something. | ||
| One guy gets, like, because when they get knocked out of the car, like, one guy gets, the gasoline gets on him and he gets lit on fire, so he gets, like, fire powers. | ||
| One guy's, like, gets hit by the airbag, so he becomes, like, wind power. | ||
| You know, one guy's, like, stuck under the tires, so he gets, you know, this 20 ground power. | ||
| Yeah, he turns into a rubber man. | ||
| Yeah, you rolled a 20 on that one. | ||
| You could have, like, the villain could get stuck with a bunch of the carbon dioxide from the exhaust, and he's, like, breathing it in, and it's making him all hot. | ||
| No, he turns to smoke. | ||
| Yeah, so, like, there's, like, black smoke coming off him when he walks, and he's like, whatever happened to me was a gift. | ||
| And he, like, and then Vin Diesel's like, no! | ||
| And he gets blasted away, and then Michelle Rodriguez is like, no! | ||
| How dumb! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why is this just, like, not the same franchise at all? | |
| It's not now! | ||
| It went to outer space! | ||
|
unidentified
|
So why not just make a different movie about this? | |
| You realize when you play games like Software Inc. | ||
| that you can buy IPs, so I could buy, like, an old movie and then put that name on my movie that has nothing to do with it, and they would just sell more tickets. | ||
| I get that there's just a cult following. | ||
| There's something about this I'll never totally follow. | ||
| Ludacris gets the ability to, like, interface with machines. | ||
| Because that's his character, he's like the tech guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, that made me mad, because when I watched... He's smashed into the car. | |
| He's plugging in the USB right as the blast hits him and he's like... He'd be Technomancer now. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And then all of a sudden he's like, I can see, and he's like, Neo. | ||
| And he goes like this, and then the car moves, and he's like... | ||
| I am the cortex. | ||
| See that annoyed me. He was like, I think it's like the fourth or the fifth one. I just watched it recently. | ||
| Like, he was like this nice guy with an afro and he waves the flags and he collects the money. | ||
| But then they wanted to bring him back. So they're like, we got to give you something to do. | ||
| He built a spaceship. | ||
| You know how to unlock the vault. I haven't seen that one yet. Don't ruin it for me. | ||
| He built a spaceship. | ||
| Man, that's hot. | ||
| He went to outer space with it. | ||
| I knew we had it in him. | ||
| I just don't get it. | ||
| Why is this the trajectory? | ||
| Think about it. | ||
| I have a lot more to go. | ||
| They're on 10, I think. | ||
| But look, the superpowers are already in it. | ||
| I've talked about this. | ||
| In Hobbs and Shaw, which is a spinoff, Idris Elba is a super soldier, cybernetically enhanced, bulletproof or something. | ||
| I'm totally down for this. | ||
| And then in the 11th one they fight Transformers and you bring Optimus Prime in it. | ||
| And then it makes perfect sense. | ||
| It writes itself. | ||
| Keep it going into absurdity. | ||
| It would actually kill. | ||
| Into absurdity? | ||
| We're not in absurdity yet. | ||
| Dude, imagine this. | ||
| Imagine Optimus Prime has got a blade through his chest and he's like, DUMB! | ||
| YOU MUST STOP MEGATRON! | ||
| And then Megatron's like, no, and swings. | ||
| And then Dom, they both punch and there's like little Dom and big Megatron, their fists are like, and that's the trailer. | ||
| I would spend 50 bucks to see that movie. | ||
| And you all would too. | ||
| Everybody knows it. | ||
| And this is for my new family. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He has to mention family a bunch of times. | |
| Always, always. | ||
| I felt bad for him when he was like on the run with his sister and her new boyfriend who's also a fed who like got | ||
| you convicted for a car or whatever. | ||
| It just seems like rough. | ||
| Old enemies become friends. | ||
| I haven't seen any of these at all. | ||
| Have you seen any of these? | ||
| Just Hobbs and Shaw. | ||
| Oh man. | ||
| The one that Tim was just talking about, the Idris Elba. | ||
| Let me tell you, you're missing a lot of details. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And also none at all. | ||
| Well, it makes me actually angry to think about how they'll never make a fun movie like that. | ||
| Like think about, think about the Spider-Man movie they did. | ||
| Was it No Way Home? | ||
| No, which one was it? | ||
| Was it No Way Home, where Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were in it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's a new one. | |
| No Way Home? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| And it was awesome to see, like, they rebooted Spider-Man, but twice, so they just had to bring in their character to say it's like a multiverse. | ||
| And it was fun, and it was funny, and it was cool to see that they brought these other characters back, even though they're completely different movie franchises. | ||
| And the rumor is for the new... So they did Infinity War, where all the Marvel movies come together. | ||
| The rumor is they're going to do Secret Wars, which is a multiversal saga from Marvel. | ||
| So they're apparently going to bring in Hugh Jackman from the X-Men movies into the MCU and have all these different characters from different movies in one... I think that's a fantastic idea. | ||
| I want to see Dom in Fast and the Furious swing a fist with Megatron and they stop and energy bursts out and Optimus Prime is there. | ||
| Is it the actual Transformers? | ||
| Do they get the rights? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Who owns it? | ||
| Is it Universal? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Don't they own both? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm pretty sure it's Universal. | |
| This is just not appealing to me. | ||
| Look up who owns both. | ||
| How would you make it better, Hannah Clare? | ||
| It is appealing? | ||
| It totally is. | ||
| How? | ||
| Probably like a woman who falls in love with a guy and he's a vampire or something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| That's rude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd make it a Hallmark movie. | |
| Optimus Prime is a small-town robot who runs a big job as a truck driver, and when Dom brings his cousin back, she's got a busy business boyfriend, who's the worst, and she falls in love with Optimus and realizes she never left her hometown, and then Dom fights Megatron. | ||
| Okay, I'll think about it. | ||
| That's better. | ||
| No, I mean, I guess for me this, like, I also am not super into the MCU or, like, the DC thing where it's, like, here's 87 characters and movies and, like, I just feel like the plot gets lost. | ||
| But I recognize that this is a personal, like, I just am not into it. | ||
| Well, look, don't worry about all the characters because eventually you're gonna watch so much Fast and Furious that every character is just going to be dumb on the screen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They're all versions of Dom. | ||
| It's very weird. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Also, things don't make sense, and we're just supposed to accept it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| We gotta go to Super Chats. | ||
| If you haven't already, would you kindly smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com. | ||
| We're gonna have a members-only uncensored show coming up for you in just about an hour and ten minutes. | ||
| They go up on the website front page every day about 11. | ||
| But let's read your Super Chats! | ||
| Tracer says, I am once again asking for channel member emojis and perhaps even custom colored beanie badges. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| Let me write down emoji and try to remember to get the crew on that. | ||
| That's a good idea. | ||
| That's a good idea. | ||
| Tracer. | ||
| Yeah, I've been playing Overwatch a little bit every day. | ||
| Little Heroes of the Storm on my end. | ||
| I might play it later tonight, actually. | ||
| I'm not a fan of Tracer in Overwatch. | ||
| I mean, she's got high DPS, but it's just... She's a good assassin killer, because she can get in the back lines. | ||
| She's faster than most assassins. | ||
| Sombra's better. | ||
| No, in Overwatch, I think just Sombra's better, because Sombra can stealth. | ||
| Just walk right up, aim at the head, and then warp out of there. | ||
| It just makes a lot more sense than Tracer. | ||
| Tracer's rewind is a little chaotic. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| Neboopsh says, I respect the flax, but I'm not going to call myself Jam Frank or Eric the Rad. | ||
| Seems cheap. | ||
| What is that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| You don't know what that means? | ||
| Tell me about it twice. | ||
| Oh, Jam Frank or Eric the Rad. | ||
| Oh, historical figures. | ||
| I think they're like historical figures. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Jam Frank. | ||
| Witty. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, Eric the Rad. | |
| Yeah, I follow now. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right, we got Raymond G. Stanley Jr. | ||
| He says, Tim, I dug the 4 p.m. | ||
| I got to thinking about all the small towns in PA with boarded up windows down in Main Street and how they'll never come back, sad man. | ||
| I was talking about how if you go to small towns today, you'll see the downtown Main Street, not everywhere, but a lot of these small towns, there's just nothing. | ||
| Like in Brunswick, a lot of these businesses, there's just nothing there anymore. | ||
| We drove through recently and there was a shop that's gone now, and I was like, what happened to that shop that was there? | ||
| They're closing down, Amazon's taking over. | ||
| I always tell people, I was saying, Look at that boarded up old building and imagine what it must have been like when it was first built. | ||
| And there's like a young couple that just got married and they bought their first house and they're standing in front of it and they're smiling and they're like, we're gonna make it work, this is it. | ||
| And they go in there and it's like 1950 something and they're painting the walls and they're just like, this is gonna be our dream home. | ||
| And then it's like, it's like that movie Up. | ||
| You know, now it's all broken up, fallen apart, there's no one left anymore. | ||
| So that's crazy, I remember I was in, I think I was in Ukraine. | ||
| And I walked, I saw this old, like, just rusted piece of crap car. | ||
| And I thought about how, you know, when that car was first sold, some dude who bought it was like, yes! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, brand new 1968 Volkswagen! | |
| And now it's just rusted out, rotting, and it's someone's junker. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Crazy, right? | ||
| All the good feelings, all the, like, you know, when you first buy that car, like, everything you think you're going to do with the car, and then just to see where it is now, like, it's so disappointing. | ||
| It's almost, Just tragic. | ||
| I like buying, like, vintage clothes, and I think about that, especially with stuff that's, like, custom tailored. | ||
| You're like, oh, this was, like, someone's, like, big moment, you know, dress or outfit. | ||
| Like, they wore it somewhere important, and now it's just something I'm buying for, like, a dollar at an estate sale. | ||
| Depressing. | ||
| Max Reddick says, can you try to get David Pakman back on? | ||
| He was just on Valuetainment and he seems like one of those my-brain-broke-because-of-Trump type of guy. | ||
| Uh, I've known David Pakman for, like, 12 years. | ||
| And, uh, yeah, we should invite him out. | ||
| The thing is, it's hard to get people out who host their own shows. | ||
| And I'm not gonna, like, I'm not going to be critical of David because he probably can't come on because he literally does his own show. | ||
| It's like, hey, cancel your show and come on mine instead. | ||
| It's kind of a weird thing to ask somebody. | ||
| And there's a legitimate reason why we just don't Skype people in. | ||
| It is not the same thing. | ||
| It's just really not. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe I'm wrong. | ||
| I just kind of feel that way. | ||
| And I just, I don't think internet conversations are the same as actually having someone in the room. | ||
| It's not because it's digital. | ||
| A lot of it literally, if two people try and make a sound at the same time, only one of the voices can be registered as a one. | ||
| The other one will be registered as a zero, and you'll hear mute. | ||
| So two people can't, like you and I can sing harmonies, and since it's an analog conversation, it's not gonna, I don't think it'll mess up. | ||
| I think we should do it too. | ||
| We've also had good We've had good response from, like, streaming on one channel and then flipping over to the other channel 20 minutes in. | ||
| So, like, we could stream on David's channel and then... Yeah, or both or whatever, but, you know, if he came out, I'd love to have him on. | ||
| But I really would love to have Kyle Kalinske, and I think we're gonna bring Kyle on. | ||
| I think Kyle's great. | ||
| Yeah, he's awesome. | ||
| I think, you know, we disagree on some political issues, but I remember one of the first experiences I had watching Kyle Kalinske's content was him defending Carl Benjamin. | ||
| And some leftist was attacking Carl and calling him a white supremacist, and Kyle was like, that's not true. | ||
| Like, you can disagree with Carl, but he's not that guy. | ||
| And I'm like, wow. | ||
| Like, he was being completely honest. | ||
| And I was like, I respect that. | ||
| I like the name of his channel is Secular Talk, so I imagine at some point he had some sort of religious, like, epiphany or something, whether it was to get away from it or to go toward it. | ||
| I'd love to hear his story about that. | ||
| Plus it makes sense that I think he's getting married to Crystal Ball, and she's also very similar. | ||
| Like, she's progressive, but, you know, obviously her and Saga are in debt either. | ||
| Yeah, like, they have disagreeing opinions, but, you know, you can have a conversation about what you disagree on, but you're having a real conversation. | ||
| So that's why I like Breaking Points. | ||
| You know, formerly it was, you know, Crystal and Saga were doing The Hills Rising. | ||
| But they're good people. | ||
| Crystal Kyle and Friends. | ||
| I think that's the name of the new show. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I do think that they end up associating with a lot of bad faith people. | ||
| And I suppose people could probably argue that for us as well, like some of the people who come on the show are probably bad faith. | ||
| I think my issue is only like, dude, we invite people on, like we had the Krasensteins on, you know, props to them for coming on, but a lot of these lefties won't do it, and I think it's because they're legit grifters. | ||
| It's like, you can't accuse, like, they come out and they'll call us or other people on the right grifters, when quite literally, Ben Shapiro is like, please come on my show to have a conversation, and they're like, no. | ||
| It's like, how is it grifting if he wants you to go on his show and say literally whatever you want? | ||
| Yeah, they're full of it. They're full of it, man. | ||
| It's just, uh, it's one of those situations where, again, if you don't believe what you're saying, if you don't care | ||
| about it enough to at least have a baseline, then yeah, you're a grifter in the worst way. | ||
| Now, if you're just making money from it, then I mean, that's not bad. Like, you know, you're not a grifter, because you | ||
| at least believe it a little. | ||
| All right, Scrotes Magote says, Tim, I can't help but notice that nobody, including you, has mentioned the drone | ||
| attacks on Iran over the weekend. | ||
| Well, I don't really know what to add to that conversation or what to say. I mean, what do you guys think? | ||
| I was first to have heard of it. | ||
| Still a developing story, honestly. But I mean, you know, for what we know is Israel was involved, or at least that's | ||
| what they claimed. | ||
| And you know, right now, it's got some implications because you know, Russia, those Shahed drones that they use to basically, you know, put Kiev in the dark came from Iran. | ||
| So there's still a lot of stuff coming out about that. | ||
| So I don't I don't think it's wise to even, you know, render a decision. | ||
| I tell people this all the time. | ||
| Tactical patience. | ||
| Just, literally, do nothing. | ||
| Just wait. | ||
| Wrath of Paul says last night's episode was one of the best ever. | ||
| Matt Strickland is an American hero. | ||
| It was very inspiring to hear his story about how he won against tyranny. | ||
| I love sticking it to the man. | ||
| Yeah, Matt Strickland of Gore Melts in Virginia. | ||
| Google it, look it up, go head down there. | ||
| They got amazing food, 90s music. | ||
| It's Gore Melts, was it 90s music and brew house, something like that. | ||
| I don't know, something like that. | ||
| I'm getting the name wrong, but Gore Melts is his way to remember it, and he's running for state senate in Virginia. | ||
| So they try to shut everybody down over COVID, and he says, look, these rules don't make sense. | ||
| They said put up plexiglass, but he was like, how big? | ||
| Where? | ||
|
unidentified
|
How? | |
| Like, what if I put up one inch of plexiglass? | ||
| And they're like, yep, that's fine. | ||
| He's like, but it doesn't make any sense. | ||
| Why are you making me do this? | ||
| People have to wear masks when they walk in, but they take it off when they sit down. | ||
| He's like, what does that even do? | ||
| It makes no sense. | ||
| So he said, I'm not doing it. | ||
| They eventually came after him. | ||
| They pulled his licenses. | ||
| And then he said, OK, well, I don't care. | ||
| I'm going to keep doing it. | ||
| Then we all saw this viral video where they raided his store and took all his booze. | ||
| And this is under a Republican, mind you, Yunkin. | ||
| And he still said, I'm not going to do it. | ||
| He won everything. | ||
| He won in court. | ||
| He won back his booze. | ||
| He won back his licenses because he just said no and he refused to comply. | ||
| And you know the worst thing about the story is? | ||
| He said that tons of people hit him up saying, what you did was amazing. | ||
| And he says, well, why don't you do it? | ||
| And I'm like, oh no, I can't do that. | ||
| I don't want to, I don't want to get the health department on me. | ||
| And it's like, you, you, you cheer on the one guy who did, but you refuse to stand up with him. | ||
| That's, that's brutal, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think it's an example that you can emulate people like Matt, the amazing guy. | ||
| It's really hard to do though, man. | ||
| Cause they put, they put them in the pain box. | ||
| Like, you know, they, they really did make them put this in, in the pain box and you just, That will is not common. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| You don't have people that have that willpower. | ||
| All right, Daniel Welch says, I have history of autoimmune pericarditis. | ||
| Always disclosed and accepted for health life insurance. | ||
| Recently denied life insurance because of pericarditis. | ||
| I wonder what changed recently. | ||
| Very interesting. | ||
| Very interesting indeed. | ||
| Yeah, let's talk about the MSNBC host for the members only. | ||
| We can go nuts on it. | ||
| Yeah, you've got a lot of medical knowledge that you bring to the table on that. | ||
| Yeah, we were talking a lot about this. | ||
| So we'll talk about that. | ||
| She's like, I had a common cold and it turned into pericarditis and then a week later it turned into myocarditis and it's been a month and a half and I still have a cold. | ||
| And I'm just kind of like, real quick, do people get colds for that long? | ||
| That is, is really rare. | ||
| Typically if you're immunocompromised, something like that could happen. | ||
| And you know, again, that's what I was thinking. | ||
| I'm like, when I get a cold, it's like three days. | ||
| I start, I wake up and I'm like, Oh, I'm feeling a little sick. | ||
| Then the next day I'm like, Oh, I'm sneezing. | ||
| The next day I'm like, wow, I'm feeling like I'm getting better. | ||
| And then the next day it's just like, Oh, it's a, was it the rhino virus? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's actually a, it's actually a family of the coronavirus, believe it or not still, uh, you know, the common cold. | ||
| I was reading about it. | ||
| It says it duplicates at 93 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the temperature of your nose. | ||
| So if you have snot in your nose and you're not blowing it out, that's where it's duplicating and duplicating. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| Keep that empty. | ||
| That's why it goes in your nose, huh? | ||
| Yeah, it's a great breeding ground for the rhinovirus. | ||
| John Rittenhoff says, I'm digging Ian's jacket. | ||
| Hell yeah, dawg. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right, what do we got here? | ||
| AKStorm says, a lot of people I follow that did lock their accounts and their first post is asking if they're finally being seen. | ||
| I saw a bunch of people all of a sudden, all my retweets were gone, all of my quote tweets were broken and I'm just like, I can't like, dude, you just cut yourself off from every post and it just is a weird thing, man. | ||
| It's a weird thing. | ||
| How long do you think they'll stay locked for? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Is this a lifestyle change permanently or a couple weeks? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| But look, some people have already went public again. | ||
| People are saying like, oh, it's hyperbole to say Twitter is dead. | ||
| And I'm like, it's a figure of speech. | ||
| I'm not saying Twitter broke. | ||
| I'm saying that if large portions of high profile personalities have locked their accounts and no one can see what they're posting and I can't share their stuff anymore and they did it because no one's getting engagement. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| It's dead. | ||
| Yeah, the platform is dying. | ||
| And look, Dave Rubin did that thread where he said the code is what they call a fractal Rube Goldberg machine, and they're trying to fix the code, but they pull one piece out and the whole thing starts breaking apart. | ||
| They're going to rebuild it from the base up, they said. | ||
| Yeah, it might be that the site is under intense anesthesia at the moment and is unconscious. | ||
| Fully alive and going into surgery. | ||
| Fair point. | ||
| Yeah, then they're gonna have to do that. | ||
| But I mean, that's taking the company private, though. | ||
| That's technically what that is. | ||
| Because you're rebuilding anyways. | ||
| He did that. | ||
| Elon did that when he bought it? | ||
| Yeah, so it's been under anesthesia. | ||
| All right, Jeffrey Perrine says, I think you would love the book of Proverbs, the wisdom book. | ||
| It's series of limericks about wisdom and the consequence of rejecting it. | ||
| It seems similar to things like Confucius written by Solomon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Interesting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Very wise book. | |
| I used to read that one actually a lot, but God. | ||
| I can't remember any of them. | ||
| It's just too much good stuff. | ||
| Patriot American says, Tim, when your West Virginia location finally opens, will you be promoting the address so people can submit applications to work there, or have you already received applications for it? | ||
| We have, like, a couple applications from people who met us at events, but once the location is open and we say what it is, you'll be able to Google it. | ||
| And then everyone will come. | ||
| And so this is what I was trying to say to people in the city, like, look, I think it's a coffee shop. | ||
| It's going to sell coffee. | ||
| People are going to go there for breakfast and stuff. | ||
| But we're going to do events, and we're going to invite y'all out there. | ||
| So I'm like, this is going to bring people to the area. | ||
| It's going to be good for everybody. | ||
| So I think there's a lot of excitement. | ||
| And there was an all-ages drag show nearby, and that actually got me close to canceling This location saying like, I don't want to be in a town that would advocate for this. | ||
| And then I thought actually the opposite. | ||
| We're going to bring our influence into this town and just be like, we don't do this here. | ||
| You can't abandon the territory. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Like if you're in a battleground, you don't just give up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And it's not about like going out there and protesting. | ||
| It's about saying like, look, you do that. | ||
| We're going to do an event and we're going to say no. | ||
| And we're going to have games and drinks. | ||
| And we're going to put on, you know what I'll do? | ||
| I'll put on a drag show. | ||
| Big drag show, biggest drag show, and we'll have food and booze. | ||
| Of course, that means 21 and up and only. | ||
| No kids, no kids allowed. | ||
| And I will make it so that, look, I don't care if you have a drag show, that's great. | ||
| Like, have fun, be an adult, do weird stuff, do fun stuff, have a good time. | ||
| No kids, this is not for kids. | ||
| And so, this influence we can bring in can be more libertarian, but it can also be like, you ain't bringing your kids here. | ||
| And that's what they were doing. | ||
| And that's just like, it's not appropriate, man. | ||
| We're gonna do Saturday morning cartoons, we call it. | ||
| Bring in your kids, hang out, we'll do catered breakfast. | ||
| You come in, we'll figure out whatever it costs. | ||
| Everybody gets to eat pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon. | ||
| Maybe, well, we gotta have pancakes, but I recommend people avoid the glutens and the sugars and all that stuff. | ||
| Almond flour. | ||
| Yeah, we could do, or a mix at least. | ||
| We got this almond flour that has tapioca in it. | ||
| And it's really good. | ||
| Yeah, if you've ever cooked with like almond flour or even like coconut flour, dude, yeah, you can do some good stuff. | ||
| You remove the carbs, you add a little bit more fiber, which is good for the gut, and it's just better for you. | ||
| But then we'll put on approved cartoon shows, maybe like Daily Wire's Chip Chilla when that comes out. | ||
| Things that are gonna instill kids with, you know, like, I think Justice League. | ||
| I thought that was great. | ||
| A lot of important lessons. | ||
| Bring back Young Justice. | ||
| Man, I hate that they canceled that show. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Static Shock, I thought, was actually a really great show for teaching kids lessons. | ||
| Yeah, it did. | ||
| Yeah, it was good. | ||
| It was like the kid got caught up in gang violence. | ||
| Then, what is it, like the big bang happened where all the gas exploded? | ||
| All the bang babies and they became metahumans, basically, and so now, you know, he's literally at school with, like, super-powered school bullies and he's just all the while coping and you know kind of coming into age | ||
| and learning their powers. | ||
| They had the racism episode, they had the homophobia episode where like his friend is gay | ||
| and his dad is intolerant but they were like I thought it all worked. I thought it was all like | ||
| relatively libertarian so I'm like I think we can we can we can make this work. | ||
| Anyway, that's going to be fun. | ||
| I'm super excited for this. | ||
| Melissa Wood says, Malcolm rolls a 20. | ||
| BlackRock and Zelensky just came together to rebuild Ukraine. | ||
| Have you guys seen the video about what the goal for Ukraine is? | ||
| A completely digitized society by 2030. | ||
| What if? | ||
| Conspiracy theory. | ||
| What if the war is part of the World Economic Forum Great Reset, and Putin is the faux villain, and they're damaging Ukraine on purpose because you have to destroy before you can rebuild? | ||
| How do you radically transform something to create what you want if there's a layer already on top of it of a culture and a society? | ||
| Decimate it, and then... So this is what happened with the NHS in the UK, for instance. | ||
| How did you get nationalized healthcare in Europe? | ||
| World War II. | ||
| Everything was just destroyed and people had no choice. | ||
| You had to give people medical care. | ||
| And so it came from the government. | ||
| Now it's just a part of their system. | ||
| Conspiracy theory, I'm not saying it's true. | ||
| I'm saying at the very least, whether that's true or not, what Russia is doing will result in a reconstruction that will be radically different. | ||
| Very strange. | ||
| They're gonna have the best internet. | ||
| No joke. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's gonna be crazy. | |
| Because when they rebuild it, they're gonna rebuild it with top tier tech. | ||
| And they're gonna have gigabit phones and stuff. | ||
| You got the best slave masters, the most high tech. | ||
| Well, and they're over there with all the resources. | ||
| And China's basically bankrolling that whole entire region right now. | ||
| So yeah, Ukraine. | ||
| Yeah, well, Russia, basically, but they'll probably get in on it because China likes to make money. | ||
| That's literally what they do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, you can see what happened Rwanda to all the internet and everything got so good there. | |
| Now it's like the Singapore of Africa. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| 5g, baby. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Let's grab some more. | ||
| Grofty says, uh, that jacket is nice, Ian. | ||
| Thanks, Grofty. | ||
| Yeah, a lot of people are commenting on, uh, on that jacket. | ||
| It's my blue, uh, what is this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Velvet? | |
| Velvet. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's awesome. | |
| I should know. | ||
| Blue suede, I was gonna call it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Blue velvet. | |
| And looking smooth over there. | ||
| I was about to say, that's a 20-rolling jacket right there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got a gold, green, and blue. | |
| Quantum Strange Quarks says $100 billion would be enough to give every homeless veteran $2.5 million each. | ||
| Gotta make sure that math is correct. | ||
| Oh God, that reminds me of the one meme. | ||
| I mean, maybe. | ||
| How many homeless veterans? | ||
| The Elon Musk purchasing Twitter meme where people like purposely get the number of people that he could have given for $44 billion wrong. | ||
| I remember when that lady went on, I think it was MSNBC, and she was like, what did she say? | ||
| There's a tweet, and it's like Brian Williams, and he's like, Michael Bloomberg spent $500 million on his campaign. | ||
| There are 325 million Americans. | ||
| He could have given everybody in America a million dollars and had change left over, still be rich. | ||
| And she's like, it's crazy, isn't it? | ||
| But it's true! | ||
| And it's like, he could have given everybody like $1.50. | ||
| These people don't know math. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| You don't understand Elon Musk bad. | ||
| Don't question the math. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But $100 billion. | |
| That is massive. | ||
| That is a lot of money. | ||
| 2.5 million. | ||
| Just 1% of it. | ||
| You won't even miss it. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| It's going to get sold anyways. | ||
| Peter Watkin says, Tim, you advertise, put your money where your mouth is. | ||
| I mean, I did to a certain degree, right? | ||
| I didn't go out and like cure a bunch of blind people. | ||
| I could. | ||
| I think it'd be great marketing if we made the same video and we're like the Mr. Beast challenge. | ||
| Spend your marketing budget. | ||
| How about we do it? | ||
| How about we do a response to Mr. Beast, just straight up saying, the best possible marketing ever is helping people. | ||
| And I guess the issue is, I don't think I have nearly as much money as Mr. Beast does. | ||
| How many people can we treat maybe? | ||
| Well, we're helping Bucco with stem cells. | ||
| We could do that with cats. | ||
| We could do it with people's animals. | ||
| We could do like, put a million dollars into like, just heal like 150 cats or something, or 200 and 300 dogs. | ||
| Just go to like a local vet hospital and pay off everyone's bills. | ||
| If we had a million dollars lying around. | ||
| Because it's not that expensive. | ||
| It's like, what was the five grand? | ||
| I think for the entire, like eight grand for the entire process. | ||
| If we did that for like a hundred people or something, that'd be... But it's not the people, it's the cats. | ||
| So it's seeing the emotional response from the humans that are able to see again that really sells the video. | ||
| But then the question is, do you then make a video and put it on YouTube so you can make revenue off it and then continue this process? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And that could potentially be the thing, right? | ||
| So we spent, I think, like half a million bucks on the Times Square stuff throughout last year. | ||
| And this was over like four months, so it's not like all at once. | ||
| All at once is not possible, but spread out over time with revenue coming in, and then we spend our excess on trying to do something impactful. | ||
| I think we could potentially do something like that. | ||
| Maybe in a few months after we generate enough revenue, then we can spend it on something You know, Jimmy was already pulling in revenue, I believe, when he started feeding it back into the system. | ||
| So he was already self-generating. | ||
| But I mean, like I said, it works. | ||
| It's an investment. | ||
| So it works. | ||
| It's actually a pretty nice investment. | ||
| But I mean, have people send in ideas, you know, and maybe like every month draw an idea and have that person, you know, come see it in action or something. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I guess I got to read this one. | ||
| Cage of the Mix says, Tim needs to stop putting black guests in front of black, dark-colored backgrounds. | ||
| I'm sure it's just a coincidence that it happens every time. | ||
| There's one guest seat, and we have the soundproof over the door, because it's a bathroom, and there's three layers of soundproofing for obvious reason. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, but, you know, I guess fair point. | |
| It's just to check to see if you're paying attention, because one day, one moment I could be here, next moment I could just ninja away. | ||
| You got to see me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
People are pointing out the contrast like Hannah Clare is very pale and so this it's like that white photo of Joe Biden behind me, too But like we just always put the guests there so As the brand behind him, which is nice for when the from the clips come out. | |
| You always remember what show it's well I don't know. | ||
| It's just color and it's a problem. | ||
| It's always been the guests Yeah, I think it would be weirder if we were like, you know, the black guests have to sit Look, I might start giving y'all the eyebrow. | ||
| Hold on now. | ||
| I saw the last guest over here. | ||
| Wait a minute! | ||
| You're too dark. | ||
| You can't sit there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, that sounds awful! | |
| See, but a leftist would think that that was progressive. | ||
| Should we have like emails you've been like, but please don't wear black. | ||
| Just wear a white shirt, a red shirt, a colorful shirt. | ||
| Well, actually, no, to be fair, you know, we would yell at Luke all the time for wearing red. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Because it, it, it, the cameras go nuts! | ||
| Yeah, it turns red or blue. | ||
| Yeah, it's like, you know, Ian's wearing this crazy, crazy jacket. | ||
| Yeah, if you wore like a white shirt, maybe you would have popped on screen? | ||
| Like, I feel really uncomfortable. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't have any kind of white clothing. | |
| I don't know, you remember that commercial where they did this diversity camera thing where they're like, our cameras can actually take pictures of black people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| That was like the marketing campaign. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Oh, I remember now, true talent. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| I mean, whatever man, you know, make a camera that works, it's fine. | ||
| I got no beef. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, as long as everyone understands it's not me. | |
| Guys, it's not my fault. | ||
| It's just Ray's face here. | ||
| Sarge over there, dog whistling in the corner. | ||
| Crispy Cave says, if you guys are confused by slap fights, you have to check out In Car MMA. | ||
| I've seen that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| I think it's where they fight in a car. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| No way. | ||
| Are you joking? | ||
| Stop! | ||
|
unidentified
|
People just do this on the show! | |
| No way. | ||
| Car jujitsu. | ||
| Yeah, you found it? | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| Submission grappling inside of a car. | ||
| Go to a dangerous city! | ||
| I don't understand why we're making this up. | ||
| As a Muay Thai practitioner, I already make jokes about Jiu-Jitsu practitioners, but to see them trying to get a Kimura over the dashboard, that's hilarious. | ||
| I'm looking at lowkickmma.com, and you see a dude jumping over the seat. | ||
| The dude in the blue is trying to wrestle him down. | ||
| People, so like, if you're in MMA, do UFC fighters transition into this? | ||
| Is this a launch pad for a different career? | ||
| What's the ecosystem here? | ||
| Typically, you start training at a gym, and you start amateur, so you're taking a few fights in little, small amateur leagues. | ||
| Some people, they go the route, they start in street beefs. | ||
| If you've ever watched street beefs, it is addictive. | ||
| But then they go to like these smaller leagues, things like, um, you know, well, you know, we can go into Strikeforce, but you know, you got Caged Titan and stuff, and they eventually just move and they get signed to UFC. | ||
| It's kind of like boxing. | ||
| But like, if you're in UFC now, do you start fighting in the car next? | ||
| Nah, then you go to movies. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Alright, I want to grab this last one. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| Arnolfo Flores says, hey Tim, are you willing to accept goldbacks as currency in your cafe? | ||
| Yes! | ||
| If we're legally allowed to, which I think we would be. | ||
| So we actually have a bunch of them. | ||
| We have a couple stacks of the goldbacks that I got a while ago. | ||
| It is gold foil, one one-thousandth of a troy ounce in a, you know, bill. | ||
| And it's like laminated or something. | ||
| It's like sealed, I guess, or whatever. | ||
| And so it's a gold bill. | ||
| And I think their value is around, like, between $2 and $5, depending. | ||
| Yeah, that'd be 1% of $2,100. | ||
| That's about where gold's at, right? | ||
| Standard voice. | ||
| So you walk in and it's like, someone says, will you take a gold back? | ||
| I'd probably say sure. | ||
| Or one to 2,000. | ||
| I might honestly even accept a barter, to be honest. | ||
| Like you come in and you're like, I'd like a coffee. | ||
| It's like, what do you got? | ||
| I have this really nifty chain. | ||
| And like, I'll take it. | ||
| Someone can walk in and be like, I got an old bike lock. | ||
| I'm like, throw it in the pile. | ||
| Turn it into a game, start bartering for your coffee. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'd say you want the Venti, you gotta really gotta barter there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Venti. | |
| Or like, wasn't it like they're just paying you in nickels because nickels are worth something? | ||
| Yeah, you get a discount if you spend nickels because nickels are worth more in their metal | ||
| than they are in their currency. | ||
| Alright everybody, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this YouTube channel, share this show with your friends, because that's what really helps. | ||
| Take the URL and post it everywhere. | ||
| We're bigger than CNN already. | ||
| That was the news. | ||
| They struggled to get as many viewers as we get, and that's kind of a crazy thought, so that's kind of funny. | ||
| Too bad. | ||
| Sorry, CNN. | ||
| Their YouTube clips get hundreds of millions, but as a primetime show live, we're actually beating them in the key demo. | ||
| And I think we're nearly beating them in all demographics, too. | ||
| We have more key demo viewers, almost more key demo viewers than their total viewership. | ||
| Their key demo is 93,000. | ||
| Yeah, that's crazy. | ||
| And MSNBC's is 69,000. | ||
| So anyway, thank you all for supporting our show, for sharing, and it's so crazy to go out and have people be like, yo, Tim, big fan, because it's remarkable just to see how far the show has gone, how far it's come. | ||
