| the world. | ||
| history happened at 4 a.m. | ||
| Clearly, they're trying to do it. | ||
| Well, they want to do it before the markets open, and they did it kind of out of sight of everybody, and I'm surprised it's not getting more attention. | ||
| First, Republic Bank was seized by the U.S. | ||
| government and then sold off to JPMorgan with, I think it was $50 billion in federal financing, which is basically like, y'all are bailing them out again, as much as Biden's insisting you're not. | ||
| So, look, I don't know what to tell you, man. | ||
| There's some economists saying the dollar is doomed. | ||
| I'm not here to give you any financial advice, but I think when you've had three of the largest banking failures in U.S. | ||
| history within the span of a couple months, I don't know, maybe you should go seek some financial advice. | ||
| Not for me, but I know I'm going to be making some moves because I'm kind of worried. | ||
| What they're saying is that people panicked over First Republic, pulled their money out. | ||
| Many of them actually went to JPMorgan, but my fear now is, I'm not an economist, but If J.P. | ||
| Morgan's absorbing this dying bank, isn't that just going to get people scared that J.P. | ||
| Morgan won't be able to handle it and then they'll pull their money out of there and then run somewhere else? | ||
| Cascade effect. | ||
| We'll see what happens. | ||
| We got other big news! | ||
| Vice is reportedly on the verge of bankruptcy! | ||
|

|
No! | |
| Holy crap! | ||
| Everybody's yelling already. | ||
| And we got more news than that. | ||
| Bud Light sales are now down an additional week by 21.4%. | ||
| So it went six, 17, and now 21. | ||
| It just keeps getting worse. | ||
| They've hired GOPAs. | ||
| They're gonna spend millions of dollars in marketing, all to avoid apologizing. | ||
| How pathetic and spineless. | ||
| But they're getting leftist groups coming at them now, saying, you have to defend us and apologize to us. | ||
| Let's see who they choose. | ||
| Before we get started, ladies and gentlemen, head over to castbrewcoffee.com and pick up your, look at this, Cast Brew Coffee. | ||
| And, if you go to castbrew.com, it is our coffee brand. | ||

| breakfast blend, which is exactly what I'm holding right here. | ||
| And, with every purchase of Rise with Roberto Jr., you will receive a picture of Roberto Jr. | ||
| Look at that, he's right there on the back. | ||
| We've sold a lot of this. | ||
| Apparently everyone is just buying the Rise of the Birdo Jr. | ||
| and Appalachian Knights, but more so Rise of the Birdo Jr. | ||
| And I knew it. | ||
| Because Roberto Jr. | ||
| is a star. | ||
| And I could tell that star power would translate to cold hard cash! | ||

| Really, really. | ||

|
BuzzFeed, now Vice? | |
| Why do we need the dollar to be successful? | ||
| What is worth purchasing? | ||
| If not, whatever it is those websites are selling. | ||
| We might have to crack out the Louis XIII. | ||
| Ooh, what's that? | ||
| It sounds fancy. | ||
| It's extremely expensive cognac. | ||
| Oh, nice! | ||
| Let's try it! | ||
| Let's give it a shot. | ||
| To celebrate Vice's bankruptcy. | ||
| I think we should give it a try. | ||
| I mean, they were already morally bankrupt, so... Yeah, that's true. | ||
| Let's see the finances match it. | ||
| I wonder how mad they will get, the people who work there, when they see a video of us pouring $5,000 cognac to celebrate their bankruptcy. | ||
| Well, we could just call it a wake. | ||
| Is that what we're doing it for? | ||
| Listen, that's what Irish funerals are like. | ||
| I have no idea if they're Irish, but we're ethnically Irish. | ||
| I don't drink anymore, but I could not be more supportive of a celebratory toast for the demise of Vice. | ||
| We'll give you an energy, like a vitamin drink. | ||
| I'm saying you should all drink. | ||
| Don't hold back on my account. | ||
| I just remember going to Vice parties in New York a million years ago. | ||
| They were fun. | ||
| Well, anyway, we'll talk about it. | ||
| We got Phil. | ||
| He's hanging out. | ||
| Phil Labonte from All That Remains. | ||
| How you doing? | ||
| I'm the lead vocalist. | ||
| I anti-communist and counter-revolutionary. | ||
| How you doing? | ||
| And my buddy Serge is here. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| His microphone's off. | ||
| I'm on mute, like always. | ||
| How you guys doing? | ||
| Yeah, ready to start when you guys are. | ||
| Let's jump into this first story. | ||
| I love this one. | ||
| From the hill, First Republic fallout. | ||
| Democrats fume as regulators bail out yet another failed bank. | ||
| What I love about this is that they're like, while Democrats aren't arguing the Biden administration should have let First Republic fail, many are concerned that the current spate of bank rescues point to financial stability concerns. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Democrats basically coming out and being like, I can't believe they'd bail out another bank. | ||
| I mean, we want them to do it, but we're so shocked that they didn't. | ||
| Yeah, they wanted this to happen. | ||
| They say the San Francisco-based regional powerhouse is the third major U.S. | ||
| bank to fail and prompt a government administrative bailout of depositors following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in March. | ||
| It is the second largest bank collapse in U.S. | ||
| history, eclipsing Silicon Valley Bank. | ||
| I love this because it's like, no one seems to care. | ||
| It's like just another domino falling. | ||
| It's almost like it's not news that our banking system is collapsing. | ||
| I wake up. | ||
| It's 6am. | ||
| I look at my phone and I'm like, my eyes are like stuck shut. | ||
| And I'm like, what's going on here? | ||
| I look at my phone. | ||
| And it's like the federal government seized First Republic Bank this morning and sold it to JP Morgan with $50 billion in financing from them. | ||
| And I'm like, wait, what? | ||
| At four in the morning, they did this? | ||
| Wow, it sounds like it's all falling apart, and then throughout the rest of the day, like, no one's talking about it. | ||
| The first thing I saw was your tweet, and I was like, oh, we gotta write about this right away. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That was our first story out today. | ||
| And everyone was like, oh, wow, how about that? | ||
| You guys hear Vice is going bankrupt? | ||
| It's like, dude, our banking system is bankrupt. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, yeah, but Vice sucks. | ||
| That's also true. | ||
| I mean, look, our banking system sucks, too. | ||
| Our banking system also sucks. | ||
| I don't- I guess the issue is, like, we know the banks are failing, but what do we do? | ||
| Yeah, exactly! | ||
| I feel like everybody- that's kind of the situation. | ||
| Everyone knows, everyone's aware of how much money has been printed in the past five years. | ||
| How much money they printed. | ||
| It was, you know, unprecedented amounts of money. | ||
| We are- basically ascribing to an unprecedented monetary policy. | ||
| Modern monetary theory is essentially it's a new idea. | ||
| It's not been tested. | ||
| We don't know exactly how much stress the system can take. | ||
| And so far, thankfully, things haven't gone terribly wrong, but there's no reason to believe that something | ||
| wouldn't happen, can't happen tomorrow and everything fall apart. | ||
| And a lot of the money that got spent over the past few years got spent really willy nilly. | ||
| I remember in Washington State, a bunch of the money that went out that was like extra unemployment actually went to Africa. | ||
| There was like a whole scam going on. | ||
| They were like, oh, we're unemployed. | ||
| Don't check our IP addresses. | ||
| And nobody did. | ||
| Yeah, it's just the First Republic got really into NFTs. | ||
| They got all those bored apes, and I guess it didn't pan out. | ||
| You know what they were really doing? | ||
| Apparently, it's been reported, they were giving interest-only loans to ultra-wealthy individuals. | ||
| Basically, they were just buying penthouses for rich people, and then no money down. | ||
| Like BLM? | ||
| It seems like the Titanic hit the iceberg a long time ago, and the rich people have been extracting as much as they can to bail out as it's sinking to the ground. | ||
| I mean, that's- That's like 2,000 people left New York. | ||
| 2,000 millionaires left New York. | ||
| It was like 250,000 people left Manhattan, which is also higher income. | ||
| Yeah, and then it was like, but there were like actually 2,000 legit millionaires. | ||
| And then where did they go? | ||
| Florida, I guess? | ||
| A bunch of them went to Florida. | ||
| Yeah, New Zealand bunkers or something. | ||
| Yeah, just get the hell out. | ||
| They can get to Montana, where they have the old nuclear silos. | ||
| I gotta give a shout-out to Jim Cramer. | ||
| He's undefeated. | ||
| Completely undefeated. | ||
| He has that tweet where he's like, First Republic, good bank! | ||
| He's like, everybody move, move, move to New York! | ||
| Go over there, pack your stuff up! | ||
| He said something positive about Bitcoin the other day, and I'm like, no, Jim, no! | ||
| No, Jim! | ||
| Stop! | ||
| What are you doing, Cramer?! | ||
| Well, no, maybe that's the one thing where it's like, maybe I'll move my assets. | ||
| If he's recommended, I'm getting out because I don't know what's going on here, but maybe he's created the inverse Kramer effect where they actually are good banks, but by him shouting it out, everyone panics and then pulls their money out. | ||
| He's like, I want to burn it all down. | ||
| He's just been studying the economy for years and he sees the corruption in the system. | ||
| I will be its reckoning. | ||
| Behind the scenes, he's just calling these institutions out so people lose faith in them. | ||
| He's actually burning it all down. | ||
| If he had made that tweet in Mandarin, Bitcoin would have crumbled because the people in China would have understood. | ||
| What I find really funny about this story is that there's a whole bunch of stories where it's like, there is no banking crisis. | ||
| Experts say it's all media nonsense. | ||
| Don't worry, nothing bad's happening. | ||
| And, like, from March until three days ago, all of the news stories were, there is no banking crisis, it's all being overhyped. | ||
| And then, like, two days before, the US government seizes the second largest bank. | ||
| It's the second largest collapse seized by the U.S. | ||
| government. | ||
| ABC runs a story saying, is the banking collapse over? | ||
| And I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. | ||
| Y'all were saying there was no banking collapse in the corporate media. | ||
| And then right before this collapse, you're like, is it, is it over? | ||
| Well, answer was no. | ||
| But here's my concern. | ||
| JP Morgan gets $50 billion in federal financing. | ||
| So basically, we are, maybe not the taxpayer, but we as regular people are all footing the bill because Like, it's just tied to the FDIC is supposed to be for us. | ||
| It's supposed to be insuring our money. | ||
| Right, and instead they're using it to finance the sale to JP Morgan. | ||
| But here's my thought process. | ||
| Yo, it's just me. | ||
| And I understand why people in media will just say like, everything's fine, everything's fine. | ||
| Because they don't want to run in the banks. | ||
| So recognizing that, I'm gonna be completely honest. | ||
| If I had money in JP Morgan, I would have gone first thing today and pulled it all out. | ||
| All of it. | ||
| Every penny, huh? | ||
| Every penny. | ||
| Because JPMorgan just bought a necrotic multi-billion dollar asset. | ||
| With 84 branches. | ||
| And with government financing. | ||
| Meaning the only reason this was possible was because the FDIC gave $50 billion in fixed rate financing. | ||
| So JPMorgan was not capable of absorbing this without the federal government's intervention, so I'm kind of like, why should I believe they can rescue this failing bank? | ||
| Well, and the other thing, too, is the FDIC has said that they were going to put a new program in place to make banks pay more money for this bank bailout insurance fund. | ||
| Like, that's coming up, too. | ||
| I just, I think JPMorgan's not going to be able to handle it. | ||
| Well, are any of the banks going to be able to handle this kind of thing? | ||
| And they're all going to be expected to pay into this new fund. | ||
| Right. | ||
| The argument, I guess, was J.P. | ||
| Morgan was saying that when people fled First Republic, they went to chase and they brought that money with them. | ||
| But imagine you're like on a sinking ship. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And you're like, quick, everyone jump to that ship. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And the other ship is like, yeah, actually, you know, we're we're that's part of our fleet, too. | ||
| And we're like connected to it. | ||
| They're going to be like, we don't have that many lifeboats. | ||
| We were running from from that bank. | ||
| And now our money's right back with them. | ||
| I mean, at this point, it really is a situation where people are kind of on their own figuring out where the safe place to go is. | ||
| Because there's got to be contagion from this bank or from the other banks that are going to be brought to J.P. | ||
| Morgan. | ||
| I mean, I assume J.P. | ||
| Morgan is alleged to be able to handle it. | ||
| The government is going to back it up. | ||
| But again, what happens if something unprecedented happens? | ||
| They can only handle it because the FDIC gave them $50 billion. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| A promissory note. | ||
| So if J.P. | ||
| Morgan could not do it on their own without government support, why would I assume they're going to be able to manage this properly? | ||
| Because the government will keep writing checks. | ||
| So it's essentially you're betting on the U.S. | ||
| government. | ||
| So why didn't the government just write a check to First Republic and keep them afloat? | ||
| I don't know exactly what the thought process was. | ||
| Yeah, there's something else going on there. | ||
| Then my issue there is... | ||
| Okay, if they're gonna write a $50 billion check to JPMorgan, why not just write a $50 billion check to First Republic? | ||
| Because they don't want to nationalize, because then it would be looked at as nationalizing the bank. | ||
| They did! | ||
| I know, but I think it's gonna be a situation of just, they're gonna say, oh well, it's not nationalized because JPMorgan's running it, blah blah blah. | ||
| Even though they're financing it or funding it, if the government just says we're taking over, And we're going to send regulators from the SEC in, or whatever the, you know, whatever the regulating body is. | ||
| If they just send them in, then it becomes a situation where they're going to be like, no, it's government bank. | ||
| Because that was the problem, or that was the concern back in 2008. | ||
| They didn't want to have Goldman Sachs look like it was being owned by the government. | ||
| And people are allergic to nationalizing. | ||
| They want someone, they want it to be taken over, but they want a private company to be the one doing it. | ||
| At the very least, so that way they can say that it's not nationalized. | ||
| So they can say that the government didn't take over the bank. | ||
| If there's an ulterior motive, it just sounds like they're being shady. | ||
| And once again, if I use Chase, I would be gone. | ||
| That's just me. | ||
| I mean, and I get it. | ||
| The reason why people like Jim Cramer come out and they're like, everything's fine, everything's fine, even though it's not, is because they don't want to create the self-fulfilling prophecy where you go in the media, say everything's not fine, causing a run in the banks. | ||
| I don't want this system to collapse. | ||
| SVB was like Twitter conversation and then there was a run on the bank. | ||
| Well, it's also like... And First Republic was the same thing. | ||
| When they started getting hit, people started pulling their money out, causing it to collapse. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I wonder if Occupy Wall Street activists are cheering this on right now. | ||
| It's like everything they've ever wanted. | ||
| Well, they probably have all their money in chase. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Well, Tim, I mean, like, if I sat you down and I was like, Tim... | ||
| Everything's going to be okay. | ||
| Do you understand? | ||
| Everything's all right. | ||
| It's not your fault. | ||
| It's okay. | ||
| Everything's fine. | ||
| You'd be like, what's going to happen? | ||
| I mean, what's going on? | ||
| Whenever someone feels the need to reassure you. | ||
| It's like, um, goodwill hunting. | ||
| It's not your fault. | ||
| It's not your fault. | ||
| I'm thinking more. | ||
| Stop saying that. | ||
| Do you remember? | ||
| Do you remember at the end of The Dark Knight? | ||
| When, not to spoil it or anything, but when Harvey Dent's like, have you ever told someone everything's gonna be okay when you know it isn't? | ||
| That's Jim Cramer right now. | ||
| Do you have any idea what it's like? | ||
| Someone should make that meme where he's yelling at Jim Cramer. | ||
| Because that's literally what the dude has done. | ||
| I never do that. | ||
| I never say everything's going to be okay. | ||
| I mean, I don't know if it's going to be okay. | ||
| I do know that... No, like, eventually we're all going to be dead. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| But that might, you know, if you get to heaven, that's okay. | ||
| That's when everything's actually okay. | ||
| Right. | ||
| When okay has no meaning. | ||
| Well, you have nothing to complain about. | ||
| But I mean, like, living a long and healthy life and dying of old age started by loved ones is okay. | ||
| No, that sounds great. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So everything will be okay. | ||
| I aspire to that kind of death. | ||
| I mean, it's just the human experience, you know? | ||
| I'm just saying, I understand why everyone's coming out and saying it's gonna be okay, but you gotta understand the people who are saying that to you, they may claim to have noble reasons, but they're pulling their assets and they're putting it somewhere else. | ||
| But where are they putting it? | ||
| China. | ||
| Where do you put it? | ||
| China? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That doesn't sound like a safe bet. | ||
| Put it in their mattresses. | ||
| Eventually we'll have some sort of like tariff situation, we won't be able to get our money out of there. | ||
| Yeah, for sure, but if you're rich you're probably not gonna worry about it. | ||
| I mean, Panama? | ||
| El Salvador people, they're probably buying tons of Bitcoin. | ||
| I wouldn't be surprised if Bitcoin skyrockets. | ||
| There have been predictions that a few months ago, several people were predicting that Bitcoin would hit a million dollars soon. | ||
| And who was that? | ||
| He's an economist or whatever, and he said it was going to hit a million dollars and he would make a bet with somebody that it would. | ||
| Everybody said the amount of increase in Bitcoin due to him creating this narrative is going to cover any potential losses from giving away a million dollars. | ||
| They didn't believe him. | ||
| But the point he made was that the banks are insolvent. | ||
| They're holding a bunch of, they're holding way more liabilities than they have assets. | ||
| And they're unrealized losses. | ||
| And as soon as this comes in the next few months, the dollar is gonna collapse. | ||
| Bitcoin's gonna skyrocket. | ||
| Then this happens, the second biggest collapse in US history | ||
| happening with two other major collapses in the span of a couple months. | ||
| You know what's interesting is Chase, like J.P. | ||
| Morgan in the first place, back in like 19-whatever, 1913 or something like that, he didn't, when there was like a run on banks, there was a run on local banks and all the local banks had their money invested with regional banks and the regional banks had their money invested with, you know, banks in New York and everything. | ||
| So when there was a run on the banks, the local banks, they couldn't get their money out fast enough to cover it, because it was all invested basically upstream. | ||
| But JP Morgan thought that there should be a private banking back situation, where like it was not nationalized at all, but all of the banks got together and basically created their own kind of, you know, FDIC, but it was for the banks themselves and private. | ||
| And instead it ended up being, you had like the Federal Reserve Act. | ||
| So someone chatted that Valley National Bank is also falling right now, and I just looked it up, and like, it's in the news, they're starting to fall now. | ||
| Minus 20%! | ||
| My goodness gracious! | ||
| Does anybody have a clear memory of what it was that made the average person realize that the banking crisis was happening in 2008? | ||
| As far as I remember, it was the- Bear Stearn, probably? | ||
| I thought it was the- Was it Lehman? | ||
| Wasn't it Lehman? | ||
| Well, Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns were banks that were involved, but I'm wondering what it was that made the average person. | ||
| Was it because, I thought it was because the companies like GE weren't able to get credit from other companies to make their payroll. | ||
| And I'm wondering if there has to be a catalyst to make the average person aware if they're not, you know, it's like if you don't have your money in any of these particular four, these four banks, you kind of might just not really pay attention. | ||
| Oh, a bank failed and then go about your day and it doesn't really affect you. | ||
| I had very little money in 2008, so I don't remember at all. | ||
| you know, makes it become everyone's problem. | ||
| And I'm wondering if there's, if anyone has any insight on that, | ||
| what it was back in 2008, or if there's something- I had very little money in 2008, | ||
| so I don't remember at all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fair enough. | |
| Speaking of having very little money, Well, hold on. | ||
| This is not financial advice, but I'm going to buy a bunch of NFTs, print them out, and stuff them in my mattress. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
| That's a really clever idea. | ||
| Great idea. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| That's brilliant. | ||
| Great idea. | ||
| The banks will never get it. | ||
| Good luck, James. | ||
| Use the good picture paper, too. | ||
| The stuff they... The glossy stuff. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| They will retain their value. | ||
| They're just different NFTs of your face. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I'll make my own NFTs, drive the price down, buy them up, then stuff them in my mattress once the price point is high. | ||
| Because they're yours. | ||
| Not financial advice. | ||
| You just figure out what they're worth. | ||
| That's basically what Sam Vanckman Freed did. | ||
| That was literally it? | ||
| That's brilliant. | ||
| Let's jump to this next story. | ||
| We have this from KOMONews. | ||
| Bud Light sales continue to drop down 21.4% following Trans Activist Partnership. | ||
| The latest data released Monday by Bump Williams Consulting shows Bud Light sales for the third week in April were down 21.4% compared to the same time last year. | ||
| The week before, sales were down 17%. | ||
| It just keeps getting worse. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| Competitors gain ground. | ||
| Coors Light is up 20%. | ||
| Miller Light sales are up 21%. | ||
| You know what that means? | ||
| It means for every one Bud Light someone does not buy, they buy one Coors and one Miller. | ||
| Yeah, that's a lot. | ||
| That's a lot of extra beer drinking. | ||
| They're like, I'm gonna buy one of each. | ||
| For every Bud Light you try to sell, I'm gonna buy two of the other ones. | ||
| It's crazy that they're not buying Good Beer instead, but it's better than nothing. | ||
| I don't care what they buy as long as it's not Bud Light. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Amen. | |
| The Human Rights Campaign, civil rights activist group for LGBTQ plus community penned a letter to Bud Light demanding, they're demanding that they defend them. | ||
| They say when, uh, what is this? | ||
| They were super drunk on Bud Light, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, this is an outrage. | |
| She's a beautiful woman! | ||
| So there was a bar in Indiana. | ||
| There's a bar in Indiana that issued a statement saying, if you've got a problem with this, then you can leave. | ||
| Dude, you're in Indiana, like... And then they came back a week later, they were like, We didn't mean it! | ||
| Please! | ||
| Please come back! | ||
| What we meant was you can leave a review on Yelp and come back on InFriend! | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can leave a big tip because we ain't doing that stuff anymore, man! | |
| We're done! | ||
| I love this story because, uh... | ||
| We're winning. Bud Light is so desperate not to apologize. | ||
| They're going to spend millions in marketing. They're hiring ex-GOP aides to assist them. | ||
| They're having secret meetings. | ||
| But they're going to have to apologize because they are, for the third week in a row, | ||
| and that was last week, their sales are down 21.4 percent on the | ||
| Imagine what it's going to look like this week. | ||
| It's going to keep being bad. | ||
| And the only way out is an apology. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't think an apology would work. | |
| I remember when I got canceled, I was told to apologize. | ||
| And I was like, even if I did, it wouldn't work. | ||
| This is different. | ||
| The woke mob cancelling people was never in good faith. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, that was never in good faith. | |
| When Bud Light did this, the first thing everyone said was, just say you're sorry, and we will move on and buy your beer. | ||
| And I said, look, if they just came out and said, we're sorry for sponsoring Dome Mulvaney, we won't do it again, we apologize for offending our audience, I'd have been like, okay, okay, okay, fine. | ||
| I'll still not drink your beer! | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, I said, I said- You don't drink it at all! | |
| I said I would go and stalk the entire office for our guests if they were willing to apologize for having done this, and they are not. | ||
| In fact, my view of it is, they are the opposite of apologizing. | ||
| Hiring, having secret meetings, hiring GOP aides to consult for them, paying millions in marketing, is them saying, we will do everything in our power to not apologize to our own customers. | ||
| That is the biggest F you Well, they don't care about their customers. | ||
| They don't care about their customers' values. | ||
| That's why, at this point, they have done it. | ||
| I do not see in any way why anybody would want to be associated with them at this point. | ||
| And for three weeks, they could have just come out after that first week and been like, guys, we did not mean to sponsor this person. | ||
| We had no idea. | ||
| We are sorry about sponsoring Domo Veni. | ||
| End of story. | ||
| Well, there was that thing for a second where it was like, oh, the corporate people didn't really know that this was going on. | ||
| Yeah, but they never said sorry. | ||
| No. | ||
| To be fair, have you ever been in an argument with someone and then you realize like halfway through you're wrong and you're like, how do I be a reasonable person without apologizing here? | ||
| I'm clearly incorrect. | ||
| I am 100% wrong. | ||
| Gaslight! | ||
| Would you not spend millions of dollars to get out of that situation if you had it? | ||
| Would you not be like... | ||
| That's what we do here on Timcast. | ||
| I would just apologize. | ||
| Oh, you're so virtuous, Libby! | ||
| No, I'm not. | ||
| I just know when I'm wrong, and it happens a lot. | ||
| Well, you're wrong right now. | ||
| I'm used to apologizing. | ||
| Here's what you do. | ||
| You quit drinking, and then... Right, then you, like, take the steps. | ||
| Imagine all the good drinking. | ||
| You have to apologize to everybody. | ||
| Everything's easier once you quit drinking. | ||
| Maybe Red Light should go to AA, and they'll get to that round. | ||
| We apologize to all our customers for thinking that A whole bunch of men really wanted to drink beer. | ||
| Budweiser needs to go to AA, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd back it. | |
| Sponsored by this fella in a dress. | ||
| Anheuser-Busch in the AA meetings. How many lives have they saved by stopping all these men from drinking? | ||
| No, people are buying twice as much! | ||
| Bud Light's official to apologize is taking lives! | ||
| I'm not drinking Bud Light parties. | ||
| I bet Coors put him up to it. | ||
| I bet these other companies were like, you know what would be really cool? | ||
| Coors CEO has a meeting with the Anheuser-Busch CEO and he's like, we got a dog playing chess and he's like, you guys think you're the biggest dogs in the park, but I got news for you. | ||
| Our next play Dylan, however much they're paying you, I'll double it! | ||
| None of that 70 cents on the dollar thing, I know you're actually a man! | ||
| Sponsoring Dylan Mulvaney and then Anheuser-Busch guy gets up and he's like, | ||
| I have to go to the bathroom real quick. | ||
| He runs and he's like, get it! | ||
| Sponsor this person! | ||
| And then the Coors- Dylan, however much they're paying you, I'll double it! | ||
| None of that 70 cents on the dollar thing, I know you're actually a man! | ||
| I'll pay you a full dollar! | ||
| Then the Coors-like guy gets up and walks away and laughs. | ||
| And Bud Light's now. | ||
| So, all of this, all of this that they're doing, take a look at this story, this is interesting. | ||
| Bud Light owners hired XGOP staffers as Capitol Hill lobbyists the same day they released the partnership with Dylan Mulvaney. | ||
| They are doing everything in their power to avoid actually just speaking to their own customers. | ||
| No, no, no, I didn't say apologize. | ||
| Speaking to. | ||
| Yeah, they don't want to do that. | ||
| They don't want to say anything directly to these angry individuals, to the point where they've put two people on leave, they're spending millions in marketing, they're hiring these people, they made a commercial referencing 9-11. | ||
| Right, they went full patriotic. | ||
| That's so desperate. | ||
| Really desperate. | ||
| Did you see what Dylan Mulvaney did? | ||
| Dylan Mulvaney's last, most recent TikTok. | ||
| Oh, I always keep up. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I actually do always keep up because it's fun doing these stories. | ||
| Only reason I have TikTok. | ||
| David has notifications turned on. | ||
| I push notifications, they go to my phone. | ||
| Ding! | ||
| Look at you! | ||
| But Dylan Mulvaney, his last TikTok, you know how he does like 365 days of girlhood? | ||
| Yeah, he skipped a bunch. | ||
| It was day 9601 of being human. | ||
| And I was like, there you go! | ||
| Just be that! | ||
| Just be human! | ||
| And then you're basically fine. | ||
| But the video that was put up by Mulvaney was saying like, you know, people are saying things in the press about me that's not my truth. | ||
| And it's just like, not my truth. | ||
| It is the most, that is exactly the problem. | ||
| Yes it is. | ||
| What they're saying was the truth, but not yours. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Like, what are you, God? | ||
| You get to invent truth yourself? | ||
| This is the subjective cult worldview these people have. | ||
| They determine what is true. | ||
| It's self-worship. | ||
| Anyone who says my truth is engaged in self-worship. | ||
| There's no such thing as your truth. | ||
| Well, that's what it is. | ||
| It's the deification of the self. | ||
| I am the way and the truth and the life. | ||
| The Logos? | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| Christ is truth. | ||
| He is truth. | ||
| Even outside of that religious perspective, it is obvious that woke people worship themselves. | ||
| Yes, that's correct. | ||
| The universe revolves around them. | ||
| Their reality is reality. | ||
| That is the postmodernist subjective morality. | ||
| James Lindsay is jumping up and down, screaming, yes, Tim, yes, Tim, yes, Tim, right now. | ||
| Well, what else is self-care? | ||
| I'm swinging a sword. | ||
| I mean, self-care is like preparation of the sacred vessel. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| Well, and the irony, right, about self-care is you're not actually caring about yourself. | ||
| You're just indulging in selfish pleasures that make your life significantly worse in the long run. | ||
| Tim, you talked about how this is a... Really nice lotion and ice cream. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Not like going to bed and getting up at a decent time and going to your job and earning and, yeah. | ||
| I saw the first, for the first time, I saw someone do a cover of a TikTok bit. | ||
| You know the Dylan Mulvaney bit that he did where he had the tampon and stuff? | ||
| I saw another different TikToker literally do the same bit. | ||
| It wasn't like a, yeah, it was like a cover song. | ||
| That guy Sykes. | ||
| I don't know the name. Yeah, so I'm telling you this guy was one of the guy this guy pledged to a bunch of sororities | ||
| At I think Alabama. Oh, I think it was Alabama. We wrote about him a little bit today | ||
| But he pledged a bunch of sororities. He didn't get into any of them. He got very mad | ||
| He posted all these prom pictures. He has his hair really short, but it's got like highlights | ||
| He's clearly an effeminate gay man, which like okay go ahead | ||
| But here he is, trying to get into all these sororities, and then he started ripping off the Dylan Mulvaney stuff, because it was doing well for Mulvaney, and he must have been like, oh, I could definitely get in on this. | ||
| So I watched some of his videos, and yeah, he goes into the stores, he makes fun of tampons, and it's like, look, none of us like tampons either, okay? | ||
| Like nobody's into it, it's not something we're all like, dangly tampons, it's like you're stuck, you know, | ||
| you don't wanna like bleed all over the place. | ||
| I like what they do though, I like the, I like the way they perform. | ||
| The effect of tampons is useful, but we don't need to go into the store | ||
| and be like ogling all these cotton products, for goodness sake. They do these | ||
| Instagram ads where it's like, people have periods and it shows women | ||
| in their underwear with stains and stuff. | ||
| The activist posts? | ||
| Fortunately, no. | ||
| There's been a bunch of leftists who have posted... The freebleed, the freebleed. | ||
| Oh, I remember this. | ||
| Runners do that. | ||
| They've posted images on Instagram of them laying in bed in their underwear with stains. | ||
| And my view of that is, like, no different than if a dude had, like, crap on his ass. | ||
| I'm free-shitting, dude. | ||
| It's like, why should society constrain my biological functions? | ||
| But hold on. | ||
| Imagine if people were this animated about toilet paper. | ||
| I've got those Charmin Bears. | ||
| They're excited. | ||
| They're super pumped about toilet paper. | ||
| But they're not against it, though. | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| They're not like, this toilet paper's oppressive to bear kind. | ||
| Why must I cleanse... Clean fuzzy bears. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Toilet paper wasn't around for all of history. | ||
| Commercials are kind of weird, to be honest. | ||
| Yeah, I don't like any toilet paper commercials. | ||
| I don't like any tampon commercials. | ||
| I hate all the menstruation commercials. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's always a woman in nature being super happy. | |
| But in the commercials, she's super happy. | ||
| She's out in nature on a rowboat and it starts sinking and she's like, oh no. | ||
| I hate all that so much. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| You don't need commercials for these things. | ||
| Yes you do, because your brand needs to be the one that people know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
When people think crappy butts, they think Charmin. | |
| Look, people go to the store, they walk through the aisle, and they grab the one that's soft. | ||
| I don't know about what women do. | ||
| I don't want to talk about it. | ||
| You know how there's been all this shoplifting at like the Duane Reade's and the Walgreens and everything like that? | ||
| So I keep being afraid that when I go into a drugstore it's all gonna be locked up and I'm gonna have to walk up to some teenager at the front and be like, um, can you unlock the tampon? | ||
| They'll have like weird color hair and be wearing a mask. | ||
| I don't want any piece of that, you know? | ||
| I just gotta be assertive. | ||
| I gotta be like, hey doc, I gotta wipe my butt. | ||
| Open the cabinet. | ||
| Give me some of that TP. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| What are you going to do? | ||
| Hey, everybody, poops! | ||
| Give me the wet ones. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's go. | |
| Wet ones. | ||
| But Tampax actually was sponsoring Dylan Mulvaney. | ||
| Yes, which is weird. | ||
| And I was horrified by that. | ||
| I was like, should I stick him up his butt? | ||
| Did you ever see that South Park with Kenny? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Dylan came out and said after the backlash that the whole bit was actually to help women. | ||
| Because even leftist women and regular women were offended by what Dylan was doing marketing tampons. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so that video was like, I was just trying to be helpful. | ||
| And then women got even angrier because a bunch of women started posting like, having a male come up to you in the bathroom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're mansplaining tampons! | |
| You're a woman, a woman is in the bathroom, and a male walks up to you and says, would you like a tampon? | ||
| Oh my goodness, I would be terrified. | ||
| Where's the holy water? | ||
| And that's why the backlash just got worse. | ||
| Now, my hope from all of this is that companies just stop sponsoring Dylan Mulvaney. | ||
| Dylan Mulvaney... No! | ||
| Dylan Mulvaney... But he's got everything already. | ||
| He's got a KitchenAid blender, he's got Kate Spade, everything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| He's got, like, oil of a leg or whatever. | ||
| He's running for president, got the Republican nomination. | ||
| Right, he's doing that. | ||
| And Dylan represents algorithmic manipulation to no one. | ||
| And Bud Light is learning what that means. | ||
| It means when the algorithm says something is popular, it is not. | ||
| Just because people are looking at it does not mean people like it. | ||
| And what is on the internet is, here's what's actually happening. | ||
| There are fringe groups in this country that normally don't have the relationship to each other to organize in large numbers. | ||
| That means if one person in every major city in the US believed in, you know, space lizards, There's no great space lizard organization, but the internet allows them to congregate digitally. | ||
| This then results in someone getting a hundred thousand views on their space lizard video, but these people don't organize in the real world. | ||
| Now you've got companies being like, who's that guy who's got a hundred thousand followers? | ||
| Oh, space lizard guy? | ||
| He's great. | ||
| Let's sponsor that. | ||
| Whereas people normally are like, that's not okay. | ||
| Dylan Mulvaney gets views because the algorithm props it up. | ||
| Bud Light says, sponsor it. | ||
| Regular people say, what the are you doing? | ||
| This is not okay. | ||
| Now they're reeling from it. | ||
| I hope other brands take notice and stop sponsoring algorithmic manipulation. | ||
| But let's do this. | ||
| Speaking of this subject, we have big breaking news. | ||
| This is a big story from this weekend. | ||
| And a 70 year old man named Dave Defeats 82 women in the World Poker Tour Ladies' Event. | ||
| So, in Southern Florida, the World Poker Tour is currently on, and this fella right here, Dave... She's aspirational. | ||
| The Ladies No Limit Hold'em event in Seminole garnered 83 entries with a prize pool of $17,430. | ||
| Here's the... | ||
| This guy's having a good time. | ||
| It's just really funny because it's like not sports. | ||
| It's not like a physical activity. | ||
| You just went there and just mopped the floor. | ||
| But this is true of any... | ||
| But look, men are better than women at chess. | ||
| Men are better than women at poker. | ||
| Poker is actually more obvious than chess. | ||
| Chess, I don't have an explanation for. | ||
| Maybe it's related to aggression and risk-taking. | ||
| The reason why men tend to beat women in poker, and not completely, there are some women who are good, like in any other sport, it's because men are more aggressive and are more... | ||
| Bigger risks. | ||
| They will play aggressively. | ||
| They will make bigger bets, they will take bigger risks, and they will get paid out for it. | ||
| Women are less likely to. | ||
| So, of course, this guy won. | ||
| He won first place. | ||
| He gets $5,555. | ||
| And what they said is, Ebony Kenny, another female, I believe she's a pro poker player, said, maybe Dave was overheard saying, quote, he could pretend to identify as a woman because they allow anything nowadays. | ||
| And by maybe, I mean 100% now. | ||
| As we were launching the show, I got word that Dave actually gave a statement to TimCast.com. | ||
| Thanks, Dave. | ||
| And my understanding is that he was literally protesting that they allow males to compete against females. | ||
| So I have not actually seen his statement until now. | ||
| We're going to read it on the show. | ||
| Dave Hughes responds to winning women's poker event. | ||
| Hughes said he drove over five hours from Orlando to visit a friend competing in the $7 million main event at the Seminole Hard Rock in Florida. | ||
| Upon arriving in the poker tournament, Hughes wanted to play a hand of poker, but learned the only event available for participation was the ladies' no-limit hold'em. | ||
| I figured, why not? | ||
| The ladies, as you know, are just as fierce, capable, as competitive as the men in poker, and smell a lot better as well. | ||
| For the record, I'm 100% against men taking advantage of women in sports where strength and muscle make it quite unfair, as we can all clearly see with men breaking all records set by women in every sport across the board while pretending to be women. | ||
| It's pathetic and embarrassing that we allow our women to be abused and victimized by this nonsense, and eventually, the country will wake up to this and put a stop to it. | ||
| Our young girls and women who dedicate their lives to playing sports deserve better, better than that, and the silent majority are starting to speak up. | ||
| Damn! | ||
| Well, you know, the worst part of the whole story is the prize was originally $4,125, but because he's a man they gave him $5,500. | ||
| Really messed up. | ||
| So apparently in the World Series, I think it's the World Series of Poker, I think we may have written this up. | ||
| I'm not sure if we did. | ||
| They have a ladies event as well, and it's illegal to bar men from entering a tournament. | ||
| So in Florida, what they said was they were like, we legally cannot say someone is, based on their sex, not allowed to enter an event. | ||
| So he's allowed to play. | ||
| They were just like, we hoped people would honor it. | ||
| In, I think it's the World Series of Poker in Vegas, what they do is it's a $10,000 fee to enter, with 90% off if you're female. | ||
| That's still illegal. | ||
| They're saying, aha, we found a loophole to discriminate against someone based on sex. | ||
| Does not work that way. | ||
| Anybody who wanted to sue could at the federal level and they would win. | ||
| You can't do that. | ||
| There's a dude who is famous for going around to bars that had ladies night and filing lawsuits and winning instantly. | ||
| Summary judgment. | ||
| You cannot offer cheaper drinks to women based on the fact that they are women. | ||
| You can't do it. | ||
| And so this guy would just be like, you can't do it. | ||
| I'm suing. | ||
| I win. | ||
| A couple grand. | ||
| But good on this guy for speaking out. | ||
| That guy ruined ladies' nights at every bar. | ||
| Now the women aren't showing up for cheaper drinks. | ||
| And they were putting bounties on him. | ||
| So other players, a bounty is a financial incentive to knock a player out of the game. | ||
| So if you were to beat him and take all his chips, you would get paid extra by someone else. | ||
| Didn't work. | ||
| He won. | ||
| He actually won. | ||
| Now do you think, let me ask you, this random guy who wasn't planning on entering the tournament, who just drove up there on a whim to watch his friend play, he still beat all the men who actually showed up to compete in this tournament? | ||
| I don't think it's that surprising, honestly. | ||
| Men take bigger risks. | ||
| That seems like part of the fun of testosterone. | ||
| It's science. | ||
| There's a little bit of fearlessness there. | ||
| Small brain women. | ||
| I don't think it's that. | ||
| I wouldn't say small brain. | ||
| Well, you could and it'd be fun to see. | ||
| Well, there's like a whole IQ thing where more women are in the middle than on either end. | ||
| The greater male variance hypothesis. | ||
| I think it's probably the aggressiveness is, you know, the risk-taking and stuff, whereas men are more prone to take risks. | ||
| Well, every time, I have a friend that I've gone to casinos with, and every time we've gone together, like, he takes big risks, and I take, like, no risks, and he makes a lot of money, and I end up losing $80 or whatever. | ||
| And he's like, oh, you need to take risks, you know? | ||
| And I'm like, oh, but it's my money. | ||
| I suck at it. | ||
| I take some risks, but nothing's kind. | ||
| Not with my money or my wits. | ||
| He said, quote, doubt I'd ever do it again, but it sure caused a fuss and created a buzz | ||
| and a lot of extra prize money for the ladies. | ||
| Women are every bit as good as men in any game that requires mental skill and wits. | ||
| He is technically technically correct. | ||
| He ruined it. | ||
| It's the greater male variance hypothesis. | ||
| What what what he's saying is, if you were to probably do if you probably were to average | ||
| it out, you would find that the average man and average woman are probably comparable | ||
| in general skill in games like poker or chess. | ||
| The issue is, there are substantially more stupid men who suck, and competent men who are good, because there's greater male variance. | ||
| So most women fall in the middle. | ||
| And then I feel bad for women, because you know what that means? | ||
| It means, for women, They are more likely to encounter stupid men and smarter men. | ||
| So it's just frustrating across the board. | ||
| It is frustrating across the board. | ||
| Dealing with men, as a woman, is a pain in the ass. | ||
| Because most of them are dumber than you, and then a lot of them are smarter, but they're... A couple. | ||
| A couple. | ||
| Well, it's actually a bell curve. | ||
| So you have... I was talking about me personally. | ||
| Oh yeah, for sure. | ||
| But I mean, like, the day-to-day interaction for a woman working in an office is probably going to be with the lower end of the bell curve men. | ||
| And so women are probably experiencing many more stupid men than men experience of women. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Well, you know, you talk to these male feminists and you try to explain this principle to them. | ||
| You say men are more likely to be smart or dumb, whereas women are more likely to be average. | ||
| And they go, I've never noticed that women seem less intelligent than me. | ||
| I have bad news, buddy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bad news about where you are on that spectrum. | |
| Whenever a dude's like, oh, they're so much smarter than us, I'm like, ooh. | ||
| You already said male feminists. | ||
| You know it's at the lower end of the bell curve. | ||
| But I mean, it makes sense that dudes that are more aggressive and actually that are smart guys, they're going to be the ones that are going to go out and try to start something on their own. | ||
| And I'm sure women will too. | ||
| But we need that. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| But in an office, it's going to end up with the midwits Yeah, because being in an office is awful. | ||
| So a lot of these prominent feminist writers are midwits. | ||
| Like who? | ||
| Like the women who work at Jezebel and Vice. | ||
| Oh, you mean like Taylor Lorenz and all of these types of people? | ||
| They're midwits. | ||
| You can go to Media Matters. | ||
| They are slightly above average in intelligence. | ||
| And that means they're going to be surrounded by a bunch of really dumb men. | ||
| And then they're going to, you know, report that experience. | ||
| Yeah, you got to understand this too. | ||
| I'm gonna swear, but this is an actual scientific term. | ||
| So, I'm warning everybody, this is the actual academic phrase. | ||
| Sneaky fucker. | ||
| Really? | ||
| That is not an insult, that is not a gag, that is not a joke. | ||
| It's a reference to... It's a little insulting. | ||
| Well, it's a reference to, in biology... | ||
| In species you have the dominant men and you have the dominant males and the sneaky fucker males. | ||
| And the sneaky fucker males will go in the middle of the night in some species and then reproduce under, you know, they'll sneak in to reproduce while the dominant strong man who is the authority is unaware. | ||
| That's why they're called sneaky fuckers. | ||
| Male feminists are described similarly in that they are men who will say whatever they think the woman wants to hear in order to get access to reproduction. | ||
| Then you have the confident, you know, I guess, you know, strongman types who Win, or through confidence and status, are attractive to women. | ||
| So you have the sneaky fucker and then you have the... Those sneaky fuckers though, they're very, you can see that when you look at them. | ||
| Not when you're in birth control! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not when you're a male feminist. | |
| Not when you're a feminist and you're surrounded by nothing but sneaky fuckers. | ||
| And surprise, surprise, it is no surprise to me that these feminists are writing articles being like, all men are this way. | ||
| Because you've surrounded yourself with nothing but low quality sneaky fucker men. | ||
| And they always project, that's why those guys always go, men just want to use women's bodies. | ||
| You're telling me about yourself, buddy. | ||
| You're telling me about you. | ||
| I'm pretty sure Michael Knowles, who married his high school sweetheart and had a family, was intending on more than just having a body of this person for decades. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And you and I were speaking about this on my podcast a while ago, Libby, but what they project in such egregious ways, they say conservatives just want to use women for their bodies and only see them as birthing people, even though they use phrases like birthing person. | ||
| And now they're advocating for surrogacy, where you literally just use a woman for her body and see her as a baby maker rather than a person you're committed to. | ||
| Yeah, I think everyone knows how I feel about surrogacy. | ||
| We've been through that. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| Yeah, it's a self- it's a... | ||
| I don't know how you correct for this problem when liberal women surround themselves with | ||
| You've repealed the 19th. | ||
| I mean, I don't think that changes that women are going to be surrounded by men who are going to say whatever the women want to hear in order to get access to banging them. | ||
| I think there's a misconception, right, about relationships. | ||
| I think when you fall in love with your high school sweetheart, you should probably marry them. | ||
| You should probably marry the person you fall in love with and not wait around. | ||
| Well, that's not what they're saying nowadays. | ||
| No, now they say all these other things. | ||
| I saw this thing on Instagram and it was like, you're going to have three great loves in your life. | ||
| And it went to list them. | ||
| And it was like the first love, right? | ||
| This is a horoscope? | ||
| No, this was like, it was on Instagram. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It was the, it was the sneaky fucker algorithm is what it was. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He's like, hey, I'm number three. | ||
| It's the best one. | ||
| But it was like it went through them all, like all these different things. | ||
| And it was like, well, why not just get together with the person you fall in love with first? | ||
| What's happening is feminists are working for these corporations like Vice, BuzzFeed, etc. | ||
| And they're surrounded by sneaky fucker men. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| And again, I'm not saying it's an insult. | ||
| I love your loophole. | ||
| It's not a loophole, it's an actual biological term. | ||
| Biologists describe this method of reproduction as sneaky fucker. | ||
| So what happens then, when these women are sitting around and they're like, what do you think about sexual liberation? | ||
| Of course the sneaky fuckers are like, yeah! | ||
| It's empowering! | ||
| You should totally at-bang everybody! | ||
| Protest topless, that'll show us! | ||
| In the early days of the feminist movement, the feminists were not all gung-ho about abortion. | ||
| It was men who got involved and were like, let's put abortion in! | ||
|
unidentified
|
And everyone was like, I guess... Consequence-free sexual access? | |
| I wanted to hook up, I don't want to have a family! | ||
| So why don't you go... | ||
| It's like Dennis in, um, uh... It's Always Sunny? | ||
| It's Always Sunny. | ||
| When he, you know, he supports the pro-choice because he's like, I don't have a family. | ||
| Are you crazy? | ||
| That's bold of that show to do that joke, to be honest. | ||
| I saw a lot of it when I was younger. | ||
| Even right now I'm actually impressed with some of the jokes they've been willing to do. | ||
| Wait, are they still on? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's a great show. | ||
| I guess they just did an episode with Bryan Cranston and Aaron... Aaron Paul, probably? | ||
| The bad guy? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, both of them. | ||
| Let's jump to this next story. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, crack open your celebratory drinks. | ||
| We've got breaking news from the New York Times. | ||
| Vice is said to be headed for bankruptcy. | ||
| The company, which was once valued at $5.7 billion, has been struggling to find a buyer this year. | ||
| In fact, they're reporting it's going to go to auction. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got $50. | |
| I'd offer stands. | ||
| 50 bucks. | ||
| Vice would continue operating normally and run an auction to sell the company over a | ||
| 45 day period with Fortress Investment Group in pole position as the most likely acquirer. | ||
| This is amazing. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| It's all coming crashing down. | ||
| It is kind of sad, I gotta tell you. | ||
| When I started at Vice, it was not as bad as it had become. | ||
| In fact, it was quite good. | ||
| Shane Smith, the CEO, had gone on Colbert and said, look, we're not Democrats or Republicans, we're storytellers, we're just trying to figure this thing out. | ||
| And I'm like, that's amazing. | ||
| The videos they were producing were just like your bar buddy telling you a story about how he walked to this place, here's what he saw. | ||
| There was no pretense, there was no authority, and then as soon as they got money, he said, bring in the pretense, bring in the authority, and bring in the feminists. | ||
| And it burned the company to the ground. | ||
| I gotta be honest, when Vice was sex, drugs, and rock and roll and edgy, it was skyrocketing. | ||
| It was cool. | ||
| And the moment they decided to get woke, they went... | ||
| Yeah, well it's like what Elon Musk was saying about the woke mind virus, you know, and it took over Vice, and it destroyed it, took over BuzzFeed, and it's basically like that's the reason post-millennial exists, you know, to combat this kind of stuff. | ||
| Yeah, there's nothing cool about woke, right? | ||
| Like, it's cool to be nice to people, and that's what you, you know, you want to treat people with respect and stuff, I get it, but there's nothing edgy, there's nothing cool about being woke, and Vice is The whole foundation was built on being edgy and cool. | ||
| They snuck into North Korea! | ||
| Like, the whole point was supposed to be their ball scene! | ||
| Well, and they were sexy! | ||
| Like, their New York parties were always sexy and really fun. | ||
| Well, I mean, I never went, but... It was, uh... You know, it's like, it's supposed to be edgy and cool, and then it's, like, all Woke is is just, like, society's hall monitors. | ||
| And it sucks, because all they ever do is, you can't say this, you can't do that, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And it's totally antithetical to what Vice started out as. | ||
| It was supposed to be the CNN of the street. | ||
| It was supposed to be anti-establishment. | ||
| It was edgy. | ||
| It was taking over. | ||
| And then as soon as they got any semblance of money, immediately, Joe Biden's coming in for an interview back during the Obama administration. | ||
| We're going to get, oh, we're so excited for this. | ||
| They went full, just as soon as the government came and knocking, as soon as the investors came and knocking, they said, we will do anything you say. | ||
| And this was inevitable. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Now, I'm sure they're going to come out and try and give you all the reasons about, well, it's changing landscape and media. | ||
| No, I disagree. | ||
| There's a reason why TimCast is expanding and Vice is imploding and BuzzFeed is imploding. | ||
| And there's a reason why all of these journalists are just so salty. | ||
| I offer them jobs every time. | ||
| Do you really? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| But, you know. | ||
| Has anyone taken you up on it? | ||
| Uh, there actually are people at Vice who are good people, who are just documentary filmmakers, who are like, let me know if you ever need a pitch, because, you know, we always want to go and travel and do some stuff. | ||
| You should buy Media Matters. | ||
| So I, that's a non-profit. | ||
| Well, the people there who are good are, the people there at Vice who are good are going to find jobs making things that are good instead of that garbage. | ||
| And the people there who suck and are dragging the company down are going to either change or they're not going to find work. | ||
| So that's the thing, it's creative destruction. | ||
| I can't believe it's fun. | ||
| It really is sad. | ||
| I mean, I looked at the old Vice building for sale, $34 million. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| It's a compound in Williamsburg in New York. | ||
| It's got a whole bunch of business in it. | ||
| But man, I went and looked at it since Vice moved to a new building in the southern part of Williamsburg in New York. | ||
| And the old building's just fallen apart. | ||
| It's like nothing. | ||
| It's like graffiti all over it. | ||
| Sad. | ||
| I think a large portion of it was actually torn down. | ||
| Yeah, and it is, I'm like, man, I'm looking at the picture and I'm like, I used to stand out in front of there, you know, just talking smack with other employees, all these stories, talking news, talking politics, finance, and now it's all just falling apart. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And it's crazy because I'm just thinking back to 2012, 2013, when I'm, like 2012 I'm talking to these guys, 2013 I'm getting hired over there, and they would not listen. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| Part of me wonders if Shane Smith cares. | ||
| I think he does, because brand was always so important to him. | ||
| It was always the most important thing to build up the brand. | ||
| And I think he wanted Vice to become Disney, to become CNN, to be this legacy brand. | ||
| And because of his inability to see what was happening around him, and his embracing of this crackpot cult garbage, he burned his own name to the ground. | ||
| And now what does he have to show for it? | ||
| Well, look, he may still be worth a lot of money. | ||
| But most of his wealth was tied up in Vice. | ||
| So when people said that he was a billionaire, it was only because of Vice's value at $5.7 billion. | ||
| He cashed out, I think, like $30 or $40 million, maybe? | ||
| And now that Vice is worthless and entering bankruptcy and gonna be sold, I don't know how much he'll even get out of this. | ||
| I think it is. | ||
| I think it is too bad. | ||
| I always really liked their photography and, you know, the like edgy nature of it. | ||
| I thought it was fun. | ||
| But those people who were good at doing that, they're going to find work at organizations that are decent. | ||
| Or they'll be able to start something new themselves. | ||
| Exactly, because with an organization like this, and this is part of why I'm cheering it on, it's not because I'm glad that the people who are talented and hardworking and dedicated are out of work, it's because all of those people were locked into an organization with a bunch of idiots who were woke and had no idea how to direct the company, and now the workers who are genuinely good are free to pursue opportunities at companies that will guide them better and lead them better, or like you said, start their own businesses, and I think that's a beautiful thing. | ||
| Yeah, I think it's always good to start your own enterprise. | ||
| One thing, I mean, at Post Millennial I came on in 2019 as a freelancer, and now I'm like, you know... You're top dog. | ||
| Part of running the company, and like I... Part of. | ||
| You know, I'm part of running the company. | ||
| Don't try to avoid accountability here, alright? | ||
| I'll take full responsibility, but I am only part of running the company. | ||
| But I will take full responsibility. | ||
| But the fun thing about it, and a big part of the reason I wouldn't want to go somewhere else, is I've been working on it this whole time. | ||
| I've been making it with these people that I really enjoy that work there. | ||
| And it's like, we built this thing. | ||
| Why would we? | ||
| I would never want to do something else. | ||
| My hands are stuck in the muck of this project. | ||
| This may be one of the biggest get-woke-go-brokes we have ever seen. | ||
| I pulled up a story from 2017. | ||
| Vice Media's Shane Smith is now a billionaire. | ||
| They said that due to a $450 million investment round, Shane Smith's holdings were now worth some $1 billion. | ||
| They said that he had roughly 20% of Vice. | ||
| After applying a 10% private company discount to its valuation and adding Smith's spread of some $33 million in real estate, his net worth totals an estimated $1 billion. | ||
| If he had 20% of the company and that's what put him at $1 billion, With Vice currently going bankrupt, his net worth is now in the low tens of millions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ha! | |
| He's broke! | ||
| I looked down on him! | ||
| He has nothing! | ||
| Tens of millions. | ||
| No, no, no, hold on. | ||
| He's got more money than he could ever spend. | ||
| He even says in this, he says, I don't give an ish about money. | ||
| I'm worth more money than I can ever spend. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That sounds fun. | |
| That's absolutely true. | ||
| So he's going to be able to retire very, very comfortably and probably be independently wealthy for the rest of his life. | ||
| He never has to work again. | ||
| But going from being a billionaire, running one of the most valuable media companies, to losing all of that in a matter of a few years, all because they wanted to get well. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| They want to make any excuse they can. | ||
| And I can prove outright, or I'll just say outright. | ||
| It is BS. | ||
| Vice had no reason to lose its standing. | ||
| It was the wokeness. | ||
| It is divisive. | ||
| It splits your audience. | ||
| And they hyper-polarized. | ||
| They basically told everybody who ever liked Vice to F off. | ||
| Let me tell you a story about when I was talking to one of my producer buddies that I've known from Vice for a long time. | ||
| Vice ran an article. | ||
| And it said, this horrible app can show you what women look like topless. | ||
| And it said someone developed an AI app that if it takes a picture of a woman, you can press render and it will AI remove their top. | ||
| And I said, do you know what Vice's headline would have been in 2013? | ||
| This amazing app can show you any—because they were mocking, they were trying to be edgy and be like, screw you, you can do whatever you want. | ||
| And they decided to get woke and be hall monitor feminists, and they basically told their entire audience, you are bad people, F off. | ||
| And I was told by this dude at Vice, well, but we have to change. | ||
| We can't do that anymore. | ||
| And I'm like, then you're going to fail. | ||
| You're not going to be Vice. | ||
| They changed your name. | ||
| I think it's fair to say that app sucks, though. | ||
| I think it's fair to say that particular app sucks. | ||
| But the point was, it's not that Vice's old headline would literally be intending to talk about how great it is the app exists. | ||
| It was meant to insult the established narrative and be edgy and say, screw your system. | ||
| But instead, they became hall monitors. | ||
| I mean, I gotta be honest, they probably wouldn't have even written the article. | ||
| They'd be like, who cares? | ||
| Let's complain about how screwed up everything is and tell everyone to go F themselves, sex, drugs, and rock and roll. | ||
| Instead, they were like, let's put on our button-up shirts and then go complain about how oppressive these people are. | ||
| All they did was start ponying up to the establishment narrative, and people don't care for that. | ||
| Especially young people. | ||
| But more importantly, this is what Bud Light did. | ||
| Vice went to their readers and said, now that we have investment, we don't care about you, and we're going to target a different demographic. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| The younger demographic did not care. | ||
| They did not care for the hall monitor style of content. | ||
| Well, and they don't like it. | ||
| I mean, because what all of these wokey people and the corporations don't realize is that they are now the establishment. | ||
| And the kids are coming up, and they're looking at it, and they're going, stop telling us what to do. | ||
| Stop telling us what to believe. | ||
| We don't subscribe to your whole worldview. | ||
| We're going to buck it. | ||
| We're going to get off this whole train. | ||
| And so that's what they're doing. | ||
| Like, you know, my son and his friends, they look at this stuff, and they see right through it. | ||
| They see that it's total ideological garbage, and they want to make their own way. | ||
| They want to come up with their own opinions and ideas. | ||
| I have two teenage nephews and they're the same. | ||
| Yeah, and I have mad respect for these kids looking at being like you are the establishment and the Millennials didn't realize that when they were buying into this whole narrative. | ||
| It was the establishment narrative, you know and Gen Z. I think we're still waiting to see what happens with them. | ||
| But you know, they're all these this guy Sykes with the tampon guy and all this stuff. | ||
| That's what they're doing and they're getting all this money from the Biden administration now to We don't like the Republicans! | ||
| to start, you know, spilling this garbage narrative. | ||
| Oh yeah, did you see those two Twitter guys? | ||
| The Gen Z, what's his name? | ||
| You know, talking about the two Gen Z dudes who are making videos where they're all smarmy and like, | ||
|
unidentified
|
we don't like the Republicans, we're not paid by the DNC. | |
| And there's a community being like, they're hired by a management firm that's funded by the DNC. | ||
| They're getting community notes. | ||
| Look, the greatest trick the establishment ever pulled was convincing people that it wasn't the establishment. | ||
| That was really clever. | ||
| Obama did that. | ||
| He did an amazing job. | ||
| People thought they were counter-cultural because they liked the president, which is absurd. | ||
| When I was a teenager, I found it very patronizing. | ||
| When I would Have the misfortune of seeing anything on MTV because someone else was watching it I would cringe because it always felt very how do you do fellow kids and I knew that these were adults writing. | ||
| He's fantastic. | ||
| But it was obvious that these were adults writing young people saying the things that these weird creepy adults thought young people should be saying so that I would watch that and go That's so cool! | ||
| That's what I believe now! | ||
| But it made me extremely angry as a youth, and unfortunately now they have this edge of being able to promote whichever voice they want through the algorithm on TikTok, because sure, you're always going to find young people who are mixed up and will repeat these talking points, and because it's not as highly produced, because it's not clearly coming from Hollywood or the establishment, Yes, it seems organic and it seems like something the majority of young people actually believe because it's continually recommended by the algorithm. | ||
| And it's possible that among that generation that's true, but regardless, my point is the propaganda catches on more easily when it's your fellow young people saying it and it's promoted as opposed to a highly produced television show that I know is being written by people in their 40s. | ||
| It's very produced. | ||
| It's very much the algorithm pushing the ideas that I don't think that are actually popular with people. | ||
| Bud Light's proof. | ||
| Bud Light is proof. | ||
| Dylan Mulvaney's five o'clock shadow and zero hips, bust, or butt are evidence that none of this stuff is really popular. | ||
| With young people, though, I mean. | ||
| I think they reject it, and I think that's what we kind of— The other thing, too, the more we see—I was writing about this recently, I've been giving a lot of thought—the The current beauty standards are more unhealthy and unattainable than the previous ones. | ||
| They're a rejection of beauty standards. | ||
| Are we supposed to look like Elliot Page and cut our boobs off? | ||
| Are we supposed to look like Lizzo and gain, I don't know, like a lot of weight? | ||
| It's a rejection of traditional beauty. | ||
| And she's obviously very beautiful, like she's a beautiful woman. | ||
| I heard Jared Leto was trying to gain weight for a role, so he would take a pint of Ben & Jerry's every night, microwave it, and then pour olive oil and soy sauce and stir it up and then chug it. | ||
| Crazy that he was born that way. | ||
| Why not just eat the ice cream? | ||
| He gained weight so fast that he couldn't stand, and he had to use a wheelchair. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Because the salt helps absorb the water, I guess. | ||
| I remember very distinctly, I used to eat a pint of ice cream every day when I was in college. | ||
| I was stoned. | ||
| But I realized at a certain point, I was like, wait, I'm gaining weight. | ||
| And I switched to a half pint and I stopped gaining weight. | ||
| That was college. | ||
| That's college. | ||
| I'm finding a lot of people that I've known and a lot of personalities that I used to watch when I was growing up, pro skateboarders, musicians, are becoming more conservative. | ||
| I think there's a rejection of what the left is doing to the point where you've got edgy urban liberal types Who are just like, y'all have lost your minds. | ||
| And now they're like, people need to have families and get jobs. | ||
| And they used to be the sex, drugs, and rock and roll people. | ||
| And they're just like, none of this is okay. | ||
| It's gone too far. | ||
| The degeneracy is literally destroying companies. | ||
| I'm not gonna name anyone specifically, but there are some famous skateboarders and musicians who are very much from the world of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, who are now like, have a family, buy property, work hard, save for the future. | ||
| And I think it's because they're looking into the mirror that is the left and being like, nah, this is not a good thing. | ||
| That's how I ended up over here, too. | ||
| I know guys like that. | ||
| I'm perfectly happy to be a bit libertine, but I don't think that that should be the social ethos. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like this is one ban, all that remains. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Very often, you know, it's normal that as people get older, they do tend to become more conservative. | ||
| Part of what's so insidious now is that people on the left are encouraging these young people to receive body mutilating surgeries that they will not be able to reverse. | ||
| And part of what ends up happening as a result of that is a person is so bought into it That they can never admit it was wrong. | ||
| How do you admit that you were wrong? | ||
| If you mutilate your body, how do you come back from that? | ||
| Psychologically. | ||
| Let's jump to the story because we do have big news. | ||
| KISS co-founder Paul Stanley, 71, slams parents who confuse their children about gender identity, branding child sex change as a sad and dangerous fad. | ||
| This is the front man. | ||
| This is the guy, the star on his face for KISS. | ||
| That's the guy. | ||
| Star child. | ||
| Star child. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's him. | |
| He doesn't even look bad. | ||
| He's 71, isn't that crazy? | ||
| Yeah, he doesn't look bad at all. | ||
| He's aged better than me. | ||
| Look at that! | ||
| Here we go, he says, I'll read some of what he says. | ||
| There's a big difference between teaching acceptance and normalizing and even encouraging participation in a lifestyle that confuses young children into questioning their sexual identification As though some sort of game, and then parents in some cases allow it. | ||
| He says, there are individuals who as adults may decide reassignment as their needed choice, but turning this into a game, or parents normalizing it as some sort of natural alternative, or believing that because a little boy likes to play dressed up in his sister's clothes, or a girl and her brothers, we should lead them steps further down a path that's far from the innocence of what they're doing. | ||
| I think he's completely right. | ||
| You know, kids will play with whatever toys because they're just kids, they're exploring the world. | ||
| And what's happening now is, this is the meme. | ||
| It's a kid playing with a doll, and then the parent says, I'll prep the surgery. | ||
| Right? | ||
| It's like, oh, he played with a doll? | ||
| Well, there it is! | ||
| The funny thing is, and I've pointed this out, so has many others, how is it that they argue simultaneously that gender is a social construct? | ||
| Meaning playing with dolls is not unique to males or females, but then if a male plays with dolls or a female with a football, that proves they're actually identifying as the opposite sex. | ||
| The weird thing too is the genderization of toys and clothes. | ||
| Came I came like after my childhood after my brother's childhood and you started to go into the Lego section and you would see girls like those and boys like us that didn't used to be the thing when I would hang out in my friend Nikki's basement and play with her brother's Legos. | ||
| We just we just all played Legos it wasn't a big deal and the same thing with the Barbie dolls like we would just all play it wasn't a big deal. | ||
| No, I joined a girls Lego competition and I just crushed. | ||
| I crushed. | ||
| I joined a girls Barbie competition even and I still beat them. | ||
| It was incredible. | ||
| You would never beat me in Barbies. | ||
| I would just like to say, I would kick your ass in Barbies. | ||
| In all seriousness, there There was a clip I saw from your show, and I can't remember the guest, and if you can, please shout him out, but he was saying there were studies on how boys and girls will play differently. | ||
| They'll play with the same toy, but when the boy picks up the toy, he starts embodying the character he's playing with, whereas when the girl picks up the toy, she has the character act the way she does. | ||
| So even when we're playing with, er, as kids playing with different toys, we, we, er, it's the same toys but, yeah, like, differently. | ||
| Like, the boy picks, the way he described it, I feel bad that I can't remember who it was, but the way he described it is, when a boy picks up a Batman toy, now he's Batman. | ||
| He's like, I'm Batman! | ||
| And he's just playing like Batman. | ||
| When the girl picks Batman up, Batman's like, do you want to have a tea party? | ||
| Then Batman wants a tea party. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I used to play Barbies with my friends at my mom's apartment and like the neighbors and stuff. | ||
| We had this Barbie dream house and my friend Julia's brother came to play with us and he was older. | ||
| He was like 12, I want to say, and we were like 10 or something. | ||
| But he took one of my Barbies that was disabled and Strap together with rubber bands and he was like this. | ||
| This is the madam of the Barbie Dreamhouse and we were like, what's that? | ||
| Television and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa, whoa, Uncle Ted! | |
| Let's talk about radio! | ||
| The next thing you know, we had the Barbie brothel. | ||
| We had the drool thing set up. | ||
| It was ridiculous. | ||
| And I told my mom about it. | ||
| I was like, oh, Mark said this and that. | ||
| And my mom was like, uh... You can't go over there anymore. | ||
| It was Ethan Van Scriver who said that. | ||
| Ethan Van Scriver, the comic artist. | ||
| Yeah, awesome. | ||
| Someone mentioned in the chat. | ||
| I wouldn't know because I've never been female, but when I used to play with Legos, you're right. | ||
| When I would play with toys, me and my friends would take the action figures or whatever, and we would voice them. | ||
| We would be like, I am going to take over the world! | ||
| Like, we were, the character was us. | ||
| We were, like, acting as them. | ||
| That's what we used to do with the Barbies. | ||
| We'd, like, make worlds. | ||
| Well, then that's the opposite of what you're saying. | ||
| Well, I was just quoting someone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what I was told. | |
| We would do, like, stories. | ||
| We would, like, invent whole worlds with the Barbies, and mostly they ended up having sex. | ||
| The issue is, when you would play with Barbie, was the Barbie channeling you, and you were like, I'm Barbie, and Barbie would do things you would do? | ||
| No, Barbie was another character. | ||
| I distinctly- Liar. | ||
| Barbie was, like, the character of the- Liar. | ||
| You know? | ||
| See, I distinctly remember when I was- But, like, we'd do the voices. | ||
| We'd be like, I'm going over here now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| When I was a kid, if I was playing with like GI Joes or whatever and my cousins were playing | ||
| with Barbie or whatever and they wanted to like have the Barbies and the GI Joes interact, | ||
| I would get upset because they would want the GI Joes to do like Barbie things and I'm | ||
| like no, GI Joes don't do that. | ||
| They're going to fight and they would be like no. | ||
| This is why my cousin would be like, he had the Hulk Hogan and the Rowdy Roddy Piper guys, and so whenever I played Barbies with him, it was like wrestling Barbies. | ||
| Would they have like the G.I. | ||
| Joes at the mall with the Barbies, and then one G.I. | ||
| Joe goes to the other, and he goes, hey, that uniform, what platoon were you with? | ||
| STOLEN VALOR! | ||
| THIS GUY'S STEALING VALOR! | ||
| I don't think stolen valor was really a thing back then, to be honest. | ||
| I'm sure it was, they just got away with it because no one was filming it. | ||
| But no one put it on Twitter. | ||
| Dee Snider came out on Twitter and actually agreed with Paul Stanley. | ||
| And so I'm feeling pretty confident and I'm feeling pretty white-pilled as of lately because I think what's happening is that we are reaching woke critical mass. | ||
| I think Bud Light is very very important in more ways than people realize. | ||
| The fact that Bud Light's sales are down 21.4% suggests to regular people who are the people who are like I don't know what's right or wrong I just want to be on the right side of history are now going maybe it's not the woke people. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| If rock stars, celebrities, and the average person is not buying this beer anymore. | ||
| So now imagine this. | ||
| Bud Light is uncool. | ||
| Nobody wants to buy it. | ||
| Now you're going to see a rejection of this because a regular person who normally just follows the trends is going to be like, I don't drink Bud Light. | ||
| Whatever you say, guys. | ||
| And then a beer company is going to hire an actual woman to advertise their beer. | ||
| It used to be that the joke was, uh, the joke family guy did. | ||
| No, don't do that. | ||
| She needs to be dressed modestly. | ||
| If they're really Conor and Lucia, she'll dress modestly. | ||
| And they say that, uh, drink our beer and beautiful women will want to have sex with you. | ||
| And the commercial was women. | ||
| That used to be the thing, yeah. | ||
| That was the commercial. | ||
| And now the commercial is, if you drink Bud Light, you are sexually attracted to people of the same sex as you. | ||
| And I don't think your average guy who's going to a barbecue wants to convey that message to his neighbors. | ||
| So they're just like, that's not my, I don't drink that stuff, don't look at me. | ||
| Bud Light, it's reverse conversion therapy. | ||
| I mean they used to sell sex for everything. | ||
| I think when it comes to a lot of alcoholic drinks like Bacardi Silver or O or whatever, I don't know if they still have those, but like fruity light drinks and wine coolers or whatever are seen as effeminate and guys want to drink like, get us, like a strong dark beer or something. | ||
| So now you have Bud Light being, like, the frilliest of fufu brands. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And outright stating, like... Yeah, like, White Claw is more masculine than Bud Light. | ||
| If they were selling, like, strawberry daiquiris, I could understand. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But now you have a beer that is widely seen as effeminate. | ||
| And surprise, surprise to all of the woke Gen Zers or whatever, guys don't want to be seen as weak. | ||
| And to be fair, some are probably fine with it. | ||
| That's who drinks beer. | ||
| Like, dudes drink beer. | ||
| Women buy those fruity things. | ||
| Those, like, Bud Lights are the beer that you get for, like, or were the beer that, like, you'd get for the afternoon because you didn't want to have, like, too heavy beer and it's kind of thirst quenching and stuff and then you drink the heavier stuff later. | ||
| Nobody's doing that anymore. | ||
| No one's drinking that anymore. | ||
| It's the beer that you buy because you're not only manly enough to drink beer, you're manly enough to not care if anyone you're with wants good beer. | ||
| So you bring that over. | ||
| That's the demographic. | ||
| They're like, Dylan Mulvaney. | ||
| That's who we'll slap up. | ||
| Shut up and drink. | ||
| It is pretty masculine, right? | ||
| My main point with bringing this subject back up is... | ||
| Regular people, the left is trying to win the culture war by saying you are on the wrong side of history. | ||
| And because civil rights is the right side of history, they're trying to pretend that they represent civil rights, when in fact they represent segregation. | ||
| And fascism. | ||
| And fascism, and fascistic ideologies. | ||
| Compelled speech. | ||
| But they're wearing a mask of civil rights. | ||
| Now that regular people, though, are saying no to Bud Light, Many people who are following The Woke are going to question whether or not that's the safe place to be. | ||
| Because they were just going along with the crowd. | ||
| Hey, the crowd's not there, man. | ||
| The crowd's clearly boycotting Bud Light. | ||
| What ended up happening to Gillette's numbers after that ad? | ||
| I think they were a men's brand. | ||
| They were a men's brand. | ||
| And I remember people saying, Go Woke. | ||
| Get broke or get woke, go broke, whatever the phrase is. | ||
| I'll tell you what happens. | ||
| When Hershey's had a male sponsor their women's candy bar, we got this delicious She Her Candy Bar by Jeremy's Chocolates. | ||
| Isn't it hilarious? | ||
| And I will stress, they don't pay me to do this. | ||
| They do not. | ||
| Dude, people, and it's funny, because whenever anyone responds... I know, but I feel weird chewing into the mic. | ||
| Wait, I'll just... You know what? | ||
| Go ahead, you talk. | ||
| Unbelievable. | ||
| You talk, and I'll just chew over here. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Whenever these boycotts happen, people go... Oh, absolutely. | ||
| Why do you care so much? | ||
| I don't know, because it's being forced onto me at all times by everyone? | ||
| Because we're literally a year away from S the D bigot. | ||
| No, dude, that was like two years ago. | ||
| Well, I mean, yeah, that was the joke two years ago. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| It's getting to the point where there are people that do, and not that there's a lot of people that support the argument. | ||
| There are people that do make the argument that if you won't date a trans woman, if you're a straight man and you won't date a trans woman, you're a bigot. | ||
| And I don't give a shit. | ||
| I'm a bigot. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| You know who really has this pushed on them are lesbians. | ||
| Lesbians are like, wait, I'm not doing the right thing. | ||
| What am I supposed to do? | ||
| Let me do the right thing. | ||
| I'll do the thing. | ||
| And so, yeah, lesbians are easy to push around, it turns out. | ||
| You know what the crazy thing is? | ||
| Like a lot of women. | ||
| I read before that in Iran, if you're a gay man, they force you to get a sex change. | ||
| And if you're a gay woman, the same thing. | ||
| But now what we're seeing is these young women who are like autistic and gay are being told they're trans and should get you know sex changes or whatever or mastectomies and that's like weirdly similar to what Iran does. | ||
| It's very similar to what Iran does and it was like what like 4,400% increase in young women deciding to be trans. | ||
| So this was interesting. | ||
| So you have all these young women deciding to be trans right around puberty and they look at womanhood and they're like, I don't want any piece of that. | ||
| That seems awful. | ||
| You've got the tampons. | ||
| You've got the whole thing. | ||
| It's awful. | ||
| It's hard to see anything good about it, right? | ||
| And so they decide that they want to be boys instead and they go through that whole thing. | ||
| I was recently seeing, I think it was a writer who does a lot of trans writing and stuff, is basically hitting menopause, like pre-menopause and being like, I am transmasculine now. | ||
| And it's kind of the reverse of kind of the same thing. | ||
| She's looking at crone-hood. | ||
| She's looking at being an old woman. | ||
| No one wants to be an old woman, even more than no one wants to be a grown-up woman. | ||
| You look at this, everything in your body just like sags down. | ||
| It's terrible. | ||
| It's horrible. | ||
| Nobody wants any part of that. | ||
| And so now she's going to be masculine. | ||
| She's getting a breast binder. | ||
| And it's like, yeah, because they're already like hanging down to your navel, probably, you know? | ||
| It's like the same kind of thing. | ||
| When a woman hits a change of life, whatever that change of life is, she's like, I don't want any part of that! | ||
| And who can blame her? | ||
| It sucks. | ||
| I think that's a very good point. | ||
| I mean, girls are generally uncomfortable during puberty. | ||
| There are a lot of changes there. | ||
| And especially when you look at the current cultural paradigm, women are told not to want to do things that are natural to women. | ||
| And also, one aspect of this people don't talk about is that The average age of first exposure to pornography is 13 years old. | ||
| And there is really gross, horrible, hardcore stuff out there. | ||
| And you can absolutely imagine a girl encountering that and going, oh my gosh, that's what sex is? | ||
| That's what happens to women? | ||
| No, I don't want to be a woman! | ||
| Someone super chatted that we should look at Noodles, the guitar player from The Offspring's reaction to Kiss. | ||
| And I just want to say this. | ||
| I know this is a bit personal for me to say, but this may be one of the greatest days of my life. | ||
| The guitarist from The Offspring has me blocked. | ||
| The very first song I ever learned how to play on the guitar was The Kids Aren't Alright, written by this man, and he has blocked me on Twitter. | ||
| Truly a day for me to behold. | ||
| Was your cover that bad? | ||
| He probably blocked me because, you know, I'm friends and play music with their old drummer who they crapped all over because they're nasty, evil people. | ||
| Man, you know what? | ||
| I will say one thing that frustrates me is that there's a lot of secrets about celebrities that if people only knew, but this guy, from my understanding, is lying about everything. | ||
| Really? | ||
| I can't say much more, it's not my place to say, and that bothers me, but until someone comes out and comes on the record about the band and about their actual, let's just say, about the truth, there's not much more I can say. | ||
| But what I will say is this. | ||
| Many of these people in Hollywood who post these tweets do so just because they want to get the PR brownie points and they voted for Trump. | ||
| Oh, and they voted for Trump. | ||
| For one reason. | ||
| Taxes. | ||
| Taxes, that's it. | ||
| They don't care about anything. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| These people... That's why a lot of rappers will vote for Trump. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| Because they're, like, into the not having to pay a... Here's what I want to say. | ||
| I don't believe any rappers voted for Joe Biden. | ||
| I don't care what they say publicly. | ||
| I don't know why you would ever. | ||
| None of them voted. | ||
| They're all like, I'm voting for Trump. | ||
| Let me show you. | ||
| Trump's a baller and Joe Biden's an old creepy man. | ||
| Let me show you what Noodles actually said. | ||
| I clicked his Twitter account to see his response to Paul Stanley and saw that I was blocked. | ||
| He said, This is a very disappointing take, especially from someone | ||
| who wore high heels, makeup, and teased up hair his whole career. | ||
| As a young kid, your band helped teach me that I could be whatever I wanted to be. | ||
| I guess it was just gimmickry after all. | ||
| Ben Collins of NBC says, The idea of kiss of all bands complaining about gender nonconforming | ||
| people is just chef's kiss. | ||
| The funny thing is, he is of all the people to come out and say kids should not be doing this, he is the perfect person in that he wore high heels and makeup and he never cut off his genitals. | ||
| He never did, not even one time. | ||
| His point being made is, you can! | ||
| He didn't even try it! | ||
| He outright says, children may dress in their brothers and sisters clothes and that's just something they want to do. | ||
| Don't tell them to get surgeries and drugs. | ||
| And they're coming on being like, yeah, but you wore those clothes. | ||
| He said it's okay that kids do this! | ||
| You can wear the clothes! | ||
| That's the thing about drag that drives me crazy too, is you have all this like drag for kids, and it's like guys, drag is an adult thing. | ||
| We all had a great time at the drag show. | ||
| Why are we suddenly imagining that a bunch of guys who dress up like campy women, like fake beauty pageant women, and have We've taken on entertainment stage names that are like sexual names for the most part. | ||
| Why are we imagining that these are the people who should be entertaining and educating our kids? | ||
| It doesn't make any sense! | ||
| It's a horrible Motten daily. | ||
| Nothing's wrong with drag. | ||
| Go to the drag show. | ||
| Have a great time. | ||
| Get trashed. | ||
| Enjoy yourself. | ||
| Listen, I'm a little bit of a libertine here and there. | ||
| But I never had an issue with that. | ||
| I've been to plenty of drag shows. | ||
| I've had friends who do drag. | ||
| Don't go hang out at my kid's library. | ||
| Doing drag is not surgery. | ||
| Yeah, and don't go reading them books about how they should cut their dicks off. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I think Matt Walsh said it very well when he described drag as burlesque for gay men. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| That's basically what it is. | ||
| Well, and a bunch of fag hacks, too. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's been a while, I know. | ||
| It's been a while. | ||
| I think it's probably not politically correct anymore to say that. | ||
| Nothing's politically correct. | ||
| As soon as you open your mouth, you're going to get cancelled anyway, so it doesn't matter. | ||
| I mean, you showed up here at the castle. | ||
| You're over. | ||
| It's done. | ||
| I think that it's obvious, it should be obvious, and I really think that the average person, when they hear what goes on when it comes to surgeries and stuff, they're like, that's not right. | ||
| That is so far outside of how we treat any other issue that anyone has, ever. | ||
| Like you don't cut up healthy bodies because of psychological issues, whether it be AGP or whether it be dysmorphia or whatever you want to call it, right? | ||
| Like I don't believe the wrong body thing because I'm not a guy that believes in a soul. | ||
| I think your brain is your brain. | ||
| You're not born with a man's brain in a woman's body. | ||
| You're born with a woman's brain in a woman's body or a man's brain in a man's body because your brain is part of your body. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| That's the physicalist approach. | ||
| Yeah, I mean that's and that's how I I mean, I'm not a spiritual guy. | ||
| I'm you know, that's that's just my thing. | ||
| But also gender isn't the soul like even if you are spiritual gender is not the soul. | ||
| Yeah, and it turned but that's where it's it becomes that whole creepy weird religion thing that the left has got going on. | ||
| It's a cult because there's no forgiveness. | ||
| I would say this. | ||
| Religions have forgiveness. | ||
| And I would add this in there as well. | ||
| I do believe in a soul, but also I believe human beings are a body-soul composite, and you are both. | ||
| It's not like you're a body and you have a soul, or you're a soul and you have a body. | ||
| You are your body and your soul. | ||
| The idea that you are something different from your body is a contradiction. | ||
| It doesn't make sense. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Don't cut your wiener off. | ||
| Yeah, please, please. | ||
|

|
That was an excellent response to the spiritual... No, he summarized it! | |
| Put it in layman's terms! | ||
| And I think there is something, you know, I think there is a spiritualness to having a sexual life, you know? | ||
| So I think it's just really a crime to destroy these children's bodies before they have a chance to be involved in loving relationships. | ||
| A hundred percent. | ||
| The fact that there are so many people that advocate to do things pre-puberty, because allegedly it makes it easier to transition, which I don't believe because there's the stories of Jazz Jennings, like how her body is… That's not a good situation. | ||
| It's a train wreck because she went… That's not a good situation. | ||
| So anyways, my point being… I can't see how, and I keep coming back to the same point, I can't see how endorsing surgery on children, people that haven't, their brains haven't even fully developed. | ||
| Go by what the insurance companies say. | ||
| The insurance companies know you can't, like 25 to rent a car, like that's it. | ||
| When I was 12 years old, I knew that I really wanted to do drugs. | ||
| Like I was very clear on that. | ||
| I was like, oh, that's interesting. | ||
| I definitely want to do drugs. | ||
| And I thought, okay, you're 12, so maybe just hold off. | ||
| And I made a deal with myself. | ||
| I was like, okay, you gotta hold off until you're 18, and then you can try drugs. | ||
| That's the most mature thing I've ever heard a 12-year-old do. | ||
| I didn't think about drugs until I was 15, and someone said, you wanna smoke a joint? | ||
| And I said, yep. | ||
| That was it. | ||
| Well, that way, when I was 15, and someone was like, do you wanna smoke a joint? | ||
| And I was like, no, I gotta wait. | ||
| I actually had someone offer me cocaine when I was 16, and I had really wanted to do cocaine when I was 12. | ||
| In New York? | ||
| I'll tell you the story another time. | ||
| It's for the after show. | ||
| It's definitely an after show story. | ||
| Anyways, so someone offered me cocaine when I was 16 and I was like, you know what, I have to wait until I'm 18. | ||
| All the drugs, like LSD, all the stuff, I was like, I'm waiting on that. | ||
| So I think when you're 12, you have a way to know, like, hey, maybe I shouldn't cut my boobs off. | ||
| You might have. | ||
| I didn't. | ||
| I was a spaz. | ||
| Shockingly. | ||
| I was an alienated, bullied weirdo. | ||
| But I knew some stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, shockingly, people don't know what's best for them when they're younger. | ||
| I remember a few years ago, I was at a bar with one of my cousins. | ||
| And we must have been in our early 20s, and the bartender there was a bit older. | ||
| She was, I believe, in her 50s, and my cousin said something like, I'm never going to have kids. | ||
| The bartender goes, how old are you? | ||
| And she says, I'm 22. | ||
| The bartender's like, shut up. | ||
| You're 22 years old, okay? | ||
| You're not going to sit here and tell me that you're never going to have kids because you don't want to have them right now. | ||
| You're going to get older, and you're probably going to want them. | ||
| I had that experience when I was 22. | ||
| I didn't want to have kids. | ||
| I think well I think many women in this culture do and I'm not saying that that's historically normal but in this culture it's certainly normal in your early 20s to not want kids and it doesn't mean that you're never going to want them later. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Historically, I think it probably was odd. | ||
| Historically, very abnormal. | ||
| Yeah, I actually think... I'm not kidding. | ||
| I heard that Spinster was defined as unmarried by 22. | ||
| I need to double check on that, but... I was born when my mom was 26, and I remember that being like, she's old. | ||
| My mom, I think my mom was 22 when I was born. | ||
| Okay, so in the 17th century, a woman was considered an old maid if she remained unmarried and childless by the time she reached her mid-twenties. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Today, the word spinster is more commonplace and is used to refer to women between the ages of 23 and 26. | ||
| I've never heard it used to refer to women between 23 and 26, but probably because I live in the West. | ||
| I bet you in other countries it's more shocking to them. | ||
| Probably. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Could be. | ||
| Have we solved all of life's problems? | ||
| Yeah, we fixed it. | ||
| We got really close. | ||
| I found out that I'm an old spinster today. | ||
| You're in your 20s? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Good for you. | ||
| Clock's ticking though. | ||
| I've almost run out of 20s. | ||
| Don't worry, you'll be fine. | ||
| Your 30s are gonna be great. | ||
| You know what, yeah, 30s are good. | ||
| I appreciate the optimism. | ||
| I don't know, with all the banks collapsing and stuff. | ||
| 20s are good. | ||
| I don't know if that explains it. | ||
| I think it's all good. | ||
| Like, there's always, it's always good. | ||
| Well, people used to want to get older. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| Like, people have always enjoyed youth, but there was a time when gaining age was seen as gaining experience and therefore wisdom. | ||
| I can't remember who the ancient philosopher was who said it, but no wise man ever wished to be younger. | ||
| Yeah, my son was telling me recently he's afraid to grow up, and I was like, you're gonna be an awesome adult! | ||
| You're gonna be great! | ||
| You're gonna get to do whatever you want, you're gonna be responsible, it's gonna be terrific! | ||
| And he was like, uh, and I was like, no, for real, it's gonna be really good. | ||
| Yeah, and it's natural for people to prefer youth or want to be young, but on top of that, our culture puts extra emphasis on it. | ||
| We have a very disordered valuation of youth. | ||
| We place it on far too high a pedestal. | ||
| I think that's true, too. | ||
| That's probably your accuracy. | ||
| I've always viewed youth, midlife, and aging as the human experience that people are supposed to experience. | ||
| So when I was younger and I'm seeing all these women, they want to act like they're—what I was told is women always want to be 24. | ||
| When they're younger, they want to dress like they're older. | ||
| When they're older, they want to put on makeup and look like they're younger. | ||
| And I was kind of like, doesn't everybody go through life where you have these things to experience? | ||
| You get old. | ||
| It's a part of life. | ||
| I mean, I guess if we invent cures and immortality and stuff, people will just be satisfied with being young forever. | ||
| But for the time being, it's kind of like, yeah, we're all going to get old, you know, enjoy it. | ||
| You get to experience it. | ||
| It's something you will feel, and you will learn from, and you will see, and you will remember. | ||
| Then you'll die. | ||
| I just want people to know that in chat, Luke said I'm 45, and now people are saying I'm 45 in potato years. | ||
| I guess that also works. | ||
| Yeah, multiple people. | ||
| 28. | ||
| Yeah, 28 is 45 in potato years. | ||
| What's the math on that? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| I'm not old enough to be good at math yet. | ||
| I don't think I ever will be. | ||
| They say IQ peaks at like 22, so it's all down here. | ||
| As the old guy at the table, just the only thing that I have to say about getting older is just keep your body in good shape by exercising. | ||
| I'm pushing 50, and I go to the gym, and I don't have any of the aches and pains that I hear other people my age talk about. | ||
| Are we the exact same age, Phil? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| We might be. | ||
| We can compare notes. | ||
| You won't just say how old you are? | ||
| I'm not worried about it, but ladies... I don't care. | ||
| Okay, I'm 48. | ||
| She's the one who brought it up. | ||
| You're older than me, but only a little. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm 47. | |
| And I just turned 48 a couple weeks ago. | ||
| Luke just said I fart dust, excuse me. | ||
| I don't have to. | ||
| Please continue. | ||
| But yeah, the thing is, if you stay, you have to stay active and you have to just don't gain a bunch of weight because you're going to be miserable. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa! | |
| Whoa! | ||
| Whoa, buddy! | ||
| I hear some body non-positivity coming from over there. | ||
| They're appreciative. | ||
| If you're overweight, you have a negative body. | ||
| Just make sure when you're eating your she, her, Jeremy's nutless chocolate bar, you restrict yourself because 21 grams of sugar per bar. | ||
| Only four ingredients and soy free. | ||
| Again, they don't pay me to do that. | ||
| They're good. | ||
| That's very kind of you. | ||
| I guess my point is, I cut out sugars today. | ||
| You know what I had today? | ||
| We went to, there's a market in Potomac, Maryland, and they have sushi grade salmon. | ||
| So we just bought a big piece of salmon and we just cut it and ate it raw. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| With avocado. | ||
| That sounds perfect. | ||
| Yeah, I made some spicy mayo. | ||
| It was like, you know, being a sushi chef. | ||
| Yeah, that's a really good- Healthy. | ||
| That's a really good dish. | ||
| Very healthy. | ||
| And for, uh, and to drink, I had this, uh, delicious rice with Roberto Junior. | ||
| So actually, the Roberto Junior, uh, this, we just got ours. | ||
| So for people who are ordering it, they're going to start seeing it already. | ||
| But it came in the mail and I immediately was like, we got to brew some, we got to brew some. | ||
| Of course we've had it because we are the ones who like took all the samples and blended everything and then made it, but we're really excited to get it. | ||
| But yeah, eating healthy. | ||
| I want to get some of the whole bean kind, because I like to- Grind it yourself? | ||
| I do. | ||
| Yeah, it's fresher and better. | ||
| Yeah, we have those too. | ||
| Also, it's fun. | ||
| It's sort of like- It is very fun. | ||
| I like to press the button. | ||
|
unidentified

No, but what I'm saying is take care of yourself. | |
| Live your best life. | ||

|
Be healthy, exercise. | |
| Exercise is so important. | ||
| It's so important for your mental health. | ||
| It's so important for your body. | ||
| I can't stress enough. | ||
| Go out and exercise. | ||
| I didn't start exercising until I was 30. | ||
| People who don't exercise don't understand. | ||
| When you're sedentary, you might feel like this is baseline. | ||
| This is what normal feels like. | ||
| Ah, man. | ||
| If that's the case, when you start exercising consistently, you feel good all the time. | ||
| It's so annoying too because I'll be in a really bad mood and I'll realize I haven't exercised and I'll be like, damn it, now I have to go exercise and then I feel better and then I'm annoyed. | ||
| I don't know if you guys are aware of this but telling people that they're actually capable of making a difference in their life by making better choices is horrible and unfair and cruel and marginalizing. | ||
| I think you're right, we're not affirming people's poor choices. | ||
| Exactly. I always see that, dude. There is nothing that makes people more angry than saying, | ||
| hey, if you're depressed, you should try getting a better sleep schedule, | ||
| getting a better diet, exercise, and be like, oh, and you're like, oh, | ||
| are you already doing those things? | ||
| They're like, no. | ||
| You should do that again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There, there, you like it? | |
| It's funny. | ||
| You like that the second time? | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| That's how I'm going to express myself more often. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think you should. | |
| It's a point across. | ||
| You should be like a, that should be a little fancy. | ||
| But that's literally, that's literally what they do. | ||
| That's literally what they do. | ||
| It's a crazy day. | ||
| They get upset. | ||
| It's a weird day. | ||
| It is a dangle crazy day. | ||
| And I told that bank to invest better and they're like, oh, we're crashing. | ||
| I was like, maybe invest better and don't buy bad assets and give out stupid loans. | ||
| And they went, I don't have the energy for it. | ||
| I kind of just feel like. | ||
| With that news of the bank collapse, people are just sitting around shrugging, being like, we know, but whatever. | ||
| And then also you have Congress is going to have to vote to raise the debt ceiling. | ||
| That's a mess. | ||
| That doesn't, none of that seems, it doesn't seem good to do it and it doesn't seem good to not do it. | ||
| We're all burned out on all of it, just like we know the system has imploded. | ||
| And there's no need to just say it at this point, buy some chickens and is sometimes the news day is like that. | ||
| So I wake up every morning. | ||
| I scan all the headlines. | ||
| I look at all the newspapers. | ||
| You know, I start thinking about what we should cover. | ||
| And then you realize I should buy chickens. | ||
| And actually I had, there's chickens next door to me where I live. | ||
| And this morning I kept hearing the rooster and I was like, why am I still hearing this rooster? | ||
| And then I looked outside, all the chickens had escaped. | ||
| They were all running over my yard. | ||
| And I was like, wait a minute. | ||
| Do I, can I just go get one? | ||
| Like, what do I do now? | ||
| I just let him go. | ||
| And then I was driving over here. | ||
| There were chickens like hanging out in front of my car. | ||
| Don't get squashed. | ||
| You drive around in West Virginia and you'll see chickens just walking around. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They go do their thing and then they go home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
| They're just, they're like the cats. | ||
| Same thing in Hawaii. | ||
| Really? | ||
| With chickens? | ||
| On Oahu. | ||
| Yeah, like you're all over the place. | ||
| I've never been to Hawaii. | ||
| I would love to go to Hawaii. | ||
|

|
It's awesome. | |
| It's really fun when I ride my, I got my electric motorcycle and I ride it up here in the morning to come to work and I can see Chicken City and there's just some doofy looking chicken just staring at me and I'm just like, isn't life great? | ||
| Well I come over here and they're all like talking to me and I'm like, hey fellas, what's going on? | ||
| Yelling about something or other. | ||
| We got Lil Luke in the Polish one. | ||
| He sounds just like his dad. | ||
| He's got parted hair, he's blonde, a big nose, he's Polish, and he yells a lot. | ||
| Oh cool, that sounds like a pretty interesting chicken. | ||
| We should go to Super Chats. | ||
| If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends, and head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, because oh boy, do we got a members-only uncensored show for you tonight. | ||
| Not family-friendly, so you've been warned. | ||
| DeSantis... | ||
| I'm gonna be vague, but he's just signed into effect a very extreme form of punishment for a certain kind of criminal, and not very family-friendly, so we'll talk about that over at TimCast.com. | ||
| Should be live at about 10, 10 p.m., so sign up by going to TimCast.com, clicking join us, but let's read your superchats! | ||
| We got Grofty, who says, peck that like button, buck buck buck! | ||
| We love those chickens. | ||
| Alright! | ||
| Raymond G. Stanley Jr. | ||
| says, Tim, we appreciate the update and everything today and the work you're doing to get the social club going. | ||
| My offer still stands. | ||
| If you need any help at all, I look forward to bluffing out a pot win. | ||
| So, uh, Cast Brew Coffee Cafe is underway. | ||
| It is in development. | ||
| We got a, um, what is it called? | ||
| A voiceograph? | ||
| One of the things that we have at the coffee shop is this booth you can go into and record a vinyl of yourself. | ||
| So that's one of the things we're going to have here. | ||
| It's super fun. | ||
| You can sing, you can talk or whatever, and then you'll have a vinyl record of that recorded audio. | ||
| Very cool. | ||
| That's sick. | ||
| That does sound cool. | ||
| So it's happening. | ||
| It's getting built. | ||
| And then our coffee, of course, that we're going to be selling there is here. | ||
| And so we're going to have tons of this at the location. | ||
| We're going to be carrying, and this is true, we're going to have at the shop Jeremy's chocolate bars. | ||
| We're going to have those like on the counter for people when you're buying stuff as like an impulse buy. | ||
| So all of that's getting installed. | ||
| The plumbing is getting installed. | ||
| Second and third floor social club, we will probably open really, really, really soon. | ||
| Because to open a social club, we don't have to do anything. | ||
| We literally just put a couch and a TV in there and then say, I don't know, figure it out. | ||
| I want to come. Yeah, figure it out. But what we want to do is we want to have fun things to do. | ||
| So to start, obviously, there'll be video games, there'll be movies. We don't have a liquor license, | ||
| so it'll be soft drinks, but you can order food or whatever and just hang out, creating a community | ||
| space for like-minded individuals and an overlap where it will be its own private business, | ||
| but a courtesy to Timcast members to come and hang out. And then the elite members for this | ||
| special third floor VIP. | ||
| But we want to do Poker with the Boys, the show, on the third floor. | ||
| And oh boy, am I learning a whole lot about West Virginia law. | ||
| Uh, Pokemon and Magic the Gathering are illegal under West Virginia law. | ||
| And I'm not, I'm not, I'm not being, I'm not being funny. | ||
| I'm not being silly. | ||
| Uh, the law was drafted before trading card games existed. | ||
| And so the law literally says any card game or table for any card game It doesn't define wagering money or making bets. | ||
| It outright just says card games. | ||
| And I think it's, like I said, card games are, I think the first card game was Magic the Gathering in the early 90s, but poker laws have been in the books going back a hundred some odd years. | ||
| So they never legalized the right to play any kind of card game. | ||
| It was always viewed as illegal gambling. | ||
| So I learned this because when we were researching the law, we were told Even playing poker for nothing, like a prop game where everyone gets a set amount of chips, no one spends any money, and you play for fun, is also considered illegal gaming if a private business offers it. | ||
| And I'm like, well hold on there a minute. | ||
| There are a bunch of places that offer, a child can go into a game store, give $20, play a card game in hopes to win something of value, which is literally defined as illegal gambling in West Virginia, but they allow it. | ||
| That's what we're working on right now, and I spoke... This is really, really funny, because I spoke with the government of West Virginia, and I don't want to drag anybody, but the response I got when I mentioned, like, what's the legal reasoning for, you know, these card shops that have Yu-Gi-Oh! | ||
| magic and Pokemon card games, where a person will pay money to enter a tournament, play a game, which includes skill and chance, and then win something of value, they said, oh, but that's all regulated by the West Virginia Lottery Commission. | ||
| And I was like, you think these Pokemon tournaments are regulated under the West? | ||
| You think these children, these game shops, are signing up and buying licenses? | ||
| They're not doing that. | ||
| And he was like, oh, I don't know. | ||
| I think it's just no one knew it was happening. | ||
| It's just under the radar. | ||
| Because if it's not culturally enforced, who's going to? | ||
| What cop is going to go to a Pokemon card game and be like, card games are illegal in this state. | ||
| Sorry, kids. | ||
| Go on. | ||
| But since my argument is, what is their reasoning for allowing one but not the other? | ||
| And I'll get, there's another super chat I'm going to read later on, I'll get more into detail, but let's read some more. | ||
| Omega Rasetsu says, Tim, the Federal Reserve is partly owned by JPMorgan Chase. | ||
| I don't think Chase will go belly up due to the acquisition. | ||
| The Fed will bail out Chase. | ||
| Then the question is, why didn't the Fed bail out First Republic? | ||
| And maybe for that reason, but that says to me, something shady is going on. | ||
| And, uh, that's just me. | ||
| If I had money with Chase or a credit card, I wouldn't use it because I'd be scared that something shady was going on. | ||
| Like, they're trying to use banking crisis as a vehicle to implement a digital, a central bank digital currency. | ||
| In that, if they can seize banks and then use federal money to sell them to J.P. | ||
| Morgan, but, like, here's the thing. | ||
| The federal government seizes the bank, then gives J.P. | ||
| Morgan money, then J.P. | ||
| Morgan buys it from the government. | ||
| That is not a purchase. | ||
| That is a government seizure and handing over of a bank with public funds to a private entity. | ||
| Sounds shady to me. | ||
| So here's the thing. | ||
| So it does sound really shady. | ||
| Are we at the point of no return? | ||
| How would you even stop something like this? | ||
| What could you even do? | ||
| It's going to happen, right? | ||
| I mean, if it were me, I'd just take my money out of Chase. | ||
| I wonder if the point of no return is like the event horizon of a black hole. | ||
| Like, do we pass it and not know it? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Are we already stretching? | ||
| Are we already spaghettifying? | ||
| Spaghettifying. | ||
| That's the scientific term. | ||
| Like sneaky fucker. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like the scientific term. | |
| But that's a real term. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I'm just going to say it a lot. | ||
| So spaghettification. | ||
| I think we were talking to Peter Boghossian when we were on the show, when we were in Austin. | ||
| He was explaining, he was like, I'm not saying this as an insult. | ||
| This is the actual term biologists used. | ||
| Yeah, I'd say there you go. | ||
| Well, if Peter Pagosa can say it on air. | ||
| What do we got here? | ||
| Jason Dixon says, I don't know what y'all did, but the show is so much better. | ||
| What have y'all done differently? | ||
| It's just the last week. | ||
| It's just the last week this has happened. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Something changed. | ||
| It feels more leprechaun-y. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Ooh, like a little, like there's some trolls under the bridge. | ||
| I'm a little bit of a leprechaun man. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| I have no idea what that was supposed to mean. | ||
| I do have leprosy and I'm a con man. | ||
| I thought it meant you had leprosy as well. | ||
| It's both, yeah. | ||
| I have leprosy and I lie. | ||
| I was just trying to compliment you, Seamus. | ||
| You should be on a little island. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I want you all to know that's the nicest thing Tim's ever said to me. | ||
| And it involved insulting me. | ||
| I heard you went on a podcast and the guy gave you a potato. | ||
| Yes, I was on Pints with Aquinas and Matt Fradd, that dirty dog. | ||
| Shout out to Matt Fradd. | ||
| I told him to name the episode Matt and Seamus waste five hours because literally we wasted five hours. | ||
| We, yeah. | ||
| I did his longest podcast ever at four hours, and then George Farmer beat that time, so we had to beat it, and we should have edited it like three and a half hours, and we just, we wasted a lot of time. | ||
| Don't watch it. | ||
| But he gave you a potato. | ||
| And he gave me a potato, and it was really hurtful, and I stormed out. | ||
| Hurtful? | ||
| Yeah, it was very hurtful. | ||
| If someone gave me a potato, I'd be like, oh, thank you. | ||
| You know what really always bothered me? | ||
| I'd be like, can I have two? | ||
| Then I can have dinner. | ||
| You know the saying, if life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. | ||
| If life gives you potato, make vodka. | ||
| If life gives me lemons, I go, oh wow, I love lemons. | ||
| Thank you, life. | ||
| Lemons are fantastic. | ||
| I can put it on my fish. | ||
| I can put it on some oysters or whatever. | ||
| You know what's really great? | ||
| If you take lemons right off the lemon tree, they're sweet. | ||
| You don't have to add sugar. | ||
| They're just delicious. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| When I was in Greece, I was in Crete, and we were like picking lemons off this lemon tree before These guys came out of the monastery and started shooting at us, because apparently we weren't supposed to touch the monastery's lemon tree. | ||
| I didn't realize. | ||
| Shooting? | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Things happen. | ||
| But we absconded with a good couple of lemons. | ||
| And they were delicious. | ||
| When life gives you lemons, you say, thank you, life. | ||
| These are delicious. | ||
| When life gives you lemons, you run away from the man shooting at you. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| It happens. | ||
| All right, here we go. | ||
| Robert Knight says, it's a culmination I've been talking about since January. | ||
| They're consolidating deposits into a few major banks to make transition to FedNow and future CBDC easier. | ||
| Also, debt limit cap happens in June. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| This guy knows. | ||
| He knows better than I do. | ||
| I'm like, this bank collapse stuff is how they implement a central bank digital currency. | ||
| Your bank goes belly up, and then they say, we've rescued your money, just download FedNow on the App Store, and all of your deposit has been converted to FedCoin, which you can use to make any purchase. | ||
| It's the same as US dollars. | ||
| This is what I'm saying, I hate it, but how can we stop it? | ||
| You have the option. | ||
| I don't want to give anybody financial advice. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Okay, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I am taking my money away from institutions that are engaged in this kind of practice. | ||
| I'm investing in things like Bitcoin currency, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, and investing in land and stuff like that, and trying to have a decent amount of physical dollars, as well as gold, silver, and other precious metals in the physical world. | ||
| Other than that, I'm looking at... Physical assets. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But things that are considered to be of monetary exchange, like a silver coin can be traded with someone as a universal, you know, holder of value. | ||
| But other than that, there's also items that we may consider to be something that'll appreciate in value. | ||
| What is a household item that may become hard to get that you would want to have that is good for trade value? | ||
| So what is hard to manufacture? | ||
| Rice cooker? | ||
| Primers. | ||
| Eggs. | ||
| Primers are impossible to get. | ||
| What's a primer? | ||
| Primers for firearms. | ||
| No, I'm thinking about primers for a bullet. | ||
|

|
I was thinking incandescent light bulbs. | |
| Didn't Biden illegalize or make illegal incandescent light bulbs? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, I don't know. | |
| Don't we all prefer the better light? | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Dan Gingrich said the same thing. | ||
| The bank crisis is intentional to reduce the number of banks controlling the money so they can more easily institute central bank digital currency and use that to institute more control over the population. | ||
| You see? | ||
| We got smart people here watching this show. | ||
| They know what's up. | ||
| Voice of the People says, serious question, why invest in crypto if they control digital currency with EO-14067 and control the internet with the Restrict Act blocking access to markets while fining millions and imprisoning for VPN use and assets? | ||
| Because you can With Bitcoin being decentralized, I'm not telling you to buy any, they can control certain points of access, but they can never control the decentralized network which stores your value. | ||
| And then you can always find some means of connecting to it, or you can store the crypto in cold storage and then physically transfer it to somebody in exchange for something. | ||
| They've made, they've done transfers with all sorts of mediums. | ||
| You can send, you can literally send like physical mail with the code to change. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Yeah, you could, you just have to send someone your private key if you want to send them Bitcoin. | ||
| So, I mean, you can do all sorts of interesting and creative ways to transfer Bitcoin that are not directly on-chain. | ||
| Oh, look at this. | ||
| Donald DeVol says, it gives me a headache anyways, but Barron's reports, Bud Light sales fell 26% due to the backlash. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Interesting. | ||
| I always get so nervous that like the things I like are going to end up getting caught up in all these dumb controversies and I'm going to have to not buy them anymore. | ||
| I hate that. | ||
| I have Nikes and stuff that I'm like, I can't even wear them anymore. | ||
| At least I can't wear them here because I know that the chat will just- You wore that shirt that one time. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I've got a Nike hat and a couple pair of Nike shoes. | ||
| I'm never wearing them again. | ||

| There you go. | ||
| Wishbone says, JP Morgan and Citi won't fail until the dollar does. | ||
| JP has the military-industrial complex and the DoD travel money goes through Citi. | ||
| They're centralizing it. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Seve Rose says, Grandpa, tell us again about the Bud Light Wars. | ||
| All right, children, gather round while I tell you about a beer that everyone hated but fought over anyway. | ||
| That's why it was so easy to win, because Bud Light was never good to begin with. | ||
| No, nobody wanted to drink it. | ||
| Now they have a reason to be like, I'm not drinking it. | ||
| Definitely not. | ||
| Easiest boycott I ever did. | ||
| I quit drinking years ago. | ||
| I just don't understand why people drink that anyway. | ||
| I think there's a lot of forgotten wars, like the Blackhawk War. | ||
| No one remembers the Blackhawk War. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Lincoln was involved in that. | ||
| I was at an event, and I had a yingling. | ||
| It tastes good, I like it. | ||
| I like yingling. | ||
| Delicious. | ||
| I don't like drinking all that much, but, you know. | ||
| What do we got here? | ||
| We got the DDMegaDooDoo says, the shimmous and full episode is the one I've been waiting for. | ||
| Now we need to have James Lindsay and the two of you on together. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Come on back, Jim. | ||
| I want to hang out. | ||
| Brado Jacko says, the goal of the Fed is to collapse all smaller banks so CBDC can be easily forced by the few huge Fed banks like Goldman that are allowed to remain. | ||
| They'll collapse and consolidate and then the big banks will collapse and they'll say, here's what's going to happen. | ||
| They're hoping that someone like me, looking at our business at Timcast, sees our operating account collapse because our bank goes under, and then they want me to either say, we have to do this, otherwise I can't pay my employees, or cease to exist because we can't pay our employees. | ||
| That's what, that's how it'll happen. | ||
| It is being forced in one direction. | ||
| Plan forward accordingly by talking to a financial advisor you trust today, which ain't me. | ||
| Bye guns. | ||
| Satasha Katergater says, cheers from Vegas, I love poker. | ||
| It's day four of being a Seamus fan. | ||
| By the way, y'all should check out Speechless by Michael Mills. | ||
| Are you in Vegas for the World Series of poker? | ||
| I think that's starting now-ish or something like that. | ||
| They were having the World Poker Tour in Florida, that's why that guy joined the ladies event. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| So that was... And kicked ass. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| He showed those ladies how to play. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| The funny thing, though, is like he was a random guy who just showed up while all these women were actually there to compete. | ||
| I mean, the jokes just made it right themselves. | ||
| Isn't that crazy? | ||
| It kind of does with that one. | ||
| It really does. | ||
| Step aside, ladies. | ||
| All right, let's uh... I'm gonna grab... I want to grab this super chat right here from YeahButTrump. | ||
| Because uh... | ||
| You got some fightin' words there, sir. | ||
| He says, Tim, how much did you pay for the Power 9 cards in your decks? | ||
| How much did you pay for the aces in a deck you don't own? | ||
| How much thought did you put into a Pokémon deck? | ||
| Magic the Gathering is BattleBots, Poker is throwing darts at balloons at a carnival, no comparison. | ||
| You're right, there is no comparison. | ||
| Magic the Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc. | ||
| are more chance-based than Poker is. | ||
| I would, as someone who's played Magic the Gathering since I was like 8 or 9 years old, since Antiquities or whatever set it was, barely had any idea what I was doing back then, and has played all the way up until now with a bunch of Commander decks, some that have extremely rare cards. | ||
| I do not have Power 9. | ||
| Power 9 cards, for those that aren't familiar, are some of the most expensive Magic the Gathering cards in existence, costing thousands of dollars, and they're extremely rare. | ||
| And so, here's my point about Magic the Gathering. | ||
| In Magic the Gathering, for those that aren't familiar, it is one of the most popular strategy card games ever. | ||
| It was the first. | ||
| When the game starts, you draw seven cards at random from a shuffled deck. | ||
| The game has spell cards and resource cards. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| If you don't draw the correct amount of resource cards, you lose the game outright. | ||
| Okay, not completely. | ||
| There's something called a mulligan, but the likelihood you can win if you don't have a good draw starts dropping dramatically, to the point where several pro players would just concede the game outright if they had two bad draws back-to-back. | ||
| In poker, a hand is only a single portion. | ||
| A shuffle of the deck and a deal of the cards is a tiny portion of the game, and it's free. | ||
| No joke. | ||
| You can sit down at a poker table at a casino and spend no money, and they will give you cards. | ||
| You can then look at them and say, these are not good cards. | ||
| I'm not going to play this one hand. | ||
| You can do that about five times before you have to actually pay what's called a blind, or you can get up and leave and never pay anything. | ||
| With Magic the Gathering and Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh!, you pay the man at the game shop, the card shop, a $20 entry fee. | ||
| That money goes towards the prize pool. | ||
| You then cross your fingers and hope you get a good draw, and if you do, you might have a better chance of winning. | ||
| Then pointing out the Power Nine, even more random chance. | ||
| I can't, when I was a kid, I couldn't afford to buy any of those cards. | ||
| That meant my cards were always gonna be garbage, and my likelihood of winning was extremely low. | ||
| That's not skill, that's just buying in. | ||
| The rich kids had better decks. | ||
| This is why I like poker so much, having been someone who's played Magic my whole life. | ||
| It's completely equal footing. | ||
| And the game is based on whether or not you can figure out what your opponent is doing, and whether or not you, like, it's not even about cards. | ||
| I'll tell you this, I played this weekend and I got a garbage hand and I ended up winning against someone who probably had me beat because I played it better. | ||
| In Magic the Gathering and Pokemon, which I think are fantastic games and they're skill based for sure, but my argument is there's just more random chance in those than in poker. | ||
| Simply put, Holden style games, PLO, etc. | ||
| should be legal and so should Pokemon and Magic and I think it's discriminatory that these states, and many states, are allowing one game and not the other. | ||
| I'll wrap it up there. | ||
| But I can go into great detail and talk about why I think it shouldn't be that way. | ||
| We will read some more superchats from you. | ||
| Kelly Hort says, Thank you Libby. | ||
| They make fun of the products that were a little traumatizing when I was younger. | ||
| I was 19 before I even bought my own tampons. | ||
| They have no idea what they're mocking. | ||
| Oh, it's awful. | ||
| It's so awful to have to go into the store and buy tampons and carry them up to the front and, like, stand, you stand there and they're, like, by your side and you hope nobody looks at you. | ||
| B.S. | ||
| I've done it for girls and it's not that big of a deal. | ||
| Yeah, well, it's not a big deal if you're a fella doing it for girls, but if you're a girl, you're walking up there, you're like, now everyone knows what's going on with my body. | ||
| It feels weird. | ||
| Really? | ||
| And they used to do this thing at drugstores where they would, like, double bag it in a brown bag so that you could walk out and nobody would have to see what you're carrying home with you. | ||
| Now you have to pay double for the bags? | ||
| Now you have to pay for the bags and they only give you the plastic bags half the time and everybody can see right through it. | ||
| I find the whole thing humiliating. | ||
| The Real Hydro PX with an embarrassingly ignorant super chat says, Tim does this all the time. | ||
| He becomes an expert on anything he does. | ||
| You will always pay if you're small blind and big blind. | ||
| Tim knows it all. | ||
| He's completely wrong. | ||
| When you go to a poker table anywhere and sit down They will say, do you want to buy the button or wait for it to pass? | ||
| There's something called a forced bet in poker where it's, let's say you're playing a game, it's called 1-2. | ||
| A small blind is one, the big blind is two dollars. | ||
| If you want to buy the button, you have to pay three dollars. | ||
| That means that you are entering the game right at the point and you will, the button is the dealer button that goes around the table determining what, whose turn it is and who plays it first and who plays last. | ||
| If you sit down at a poker table, you can say, I will wait for the button to pass, and you pay $0. | ||
| You will then be dealt hands. | ||
| When the button comes around the table, each hand dealt, it moves one space. | ||
| As soon as the blinds come to your right, you stand up and say, I am now leaving. | ||
| Thank you for letting me play with you, and you've not paid a single penny. | ||
| Real Hydro, you are completely wrong. | ||
| And it's embarrassing. | ||
| It's really, really embarrassing. | ||
| I mean, just, man, wow, I can't believe how embarrassing it must be for you. | ||
| All right, let's read some more Super Chats. | ||
| Uh, what do we got here? | ||
| Captain Caveman says, Noodles is woke if woke was a person. | ||
| Yes, embarrassingly woke. | ||
| Poor Noodles. | ||
| Poor Noodles. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Aww. | |
| Yeah, it was Clapper of Cheeks who said, Please look at Noodles' soy reaction to Kiss. | ||
| Clapper of Cheeks, I love it. | ||
| Soy reaction. | ||
| Jake Swift says, Atlanta barman here. | ||
| Someone told me this weekend he'd rather choke down a Miller High Life than have Ultra because of Anheuser. | ||
| That's the champagne of beers, isn't it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| He didn't seem politically motivated, but maybe trying too hard to be masculine. | ||
| You see, that's what I'm talking about. | ||
| Guys who drink beers do sometimes tend to be... try too hard to be masculine. | ||
| You think? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| That sometimes happens. | ||
| Because if they were really masculine, they'd be drinking whiskey. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They'd be drinking strawberry daiquiris because they'd be secure in their sexuality. | |
| I tell you what, I can't hate on a peach bellini, man. | ||
| I love my peach bellini. | ||
| ThatOneGamer says, is Ian returning anytime soon? | ||
| I disagree with him, but he's a pretty chill guy. | ||
| Oh, he's the new co-host for Alex Stein's show. | ||
| He's no longer here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's gone. | |
| He left. | ||
| He packed his bag. | ||
| What happened is he had a stick with a handkerchief tied up at the end of it with a couple things in there and he said, I'm going! | ||
| And he left and he hitchhiked out. | ||
| Maybe he hopped a freight train. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| He's got focus in the bag. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just focus! | |
| And the gene therapy treatment. | ||
| I'm just kidding. | ||
| He'll be back soon. | ||
| Ian's downstairs. | ||
| I literally talked to him this morning. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He was all excited. | ||
| He's like, we got to work on stuff, man. | ||
| I'm really excited. | ||
| It's gonna be great. | ||
| Uh, RealHydro, he's got a response. | ||
| He says, if there are two people on the table, they can play for free. | ||
| No, your claim is only right if the table is full. | ||
| Duh. | ||
| That's what I said. | ||
| The button goes around so you can play five hands for free. | ||
| Jeez, man, these people don't even understand. | ||
| And then someone mentioned, um, we got ZillaZilla says, poker rooms charge time limit on games, not rake. | ||
| It's called time rake. | ||
| And, uh, depending on the table, some do and some don't. | ||
| Uh, at MGM, I just learned this. | ||
| It's called a 5-10 table. | ||
| That means the small blind is five bucks, the big blind is ten bucks. | ||
| No rake! | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| No rake. | ||
| A rake is when the pot in the middle of money, the dealer takes a portion out for the casino itself. | ||
| It sucks. | ||
| Oh, interesting. | ||
| Over a long enough period of time, every player will lose because the money going back and forth will keep getting smaller, and if you play long enough, you will notice everyone's chips are going down. | ||
| You play at the higher stakes table, and they do what's called a time rake. | ||
| Every half an hour, a new dealer sits down, you pay the dealer $7, and then play the game. | ||
| Blinds or forced bets, you gotta pay those. | ||
| My point is simply this. | ||
| At any table, you can play about five hands at a full ring without paying any money, and you can't do that for any Magic the Gathering tournament with stakes. | ||
| You have to pay up front to the owner of the shop. | ||
| That money goes towards the prize pool and the house takes a cut of it for their profit. | ||
| That's no different from raking at a poker game. | ||
| And here's the other thing. | ||
| In the law, a wager is a bet that someone will win. | ||
| This is in West Virginia, this is interesting, which means when you're playing Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, or Magic, when you buy into the tournament, you are saying, I am buying in to enter because I will win these games and then get the cash prize. | ||
| In poker, a bet is not a determination that you are going to win. | ||
| If I've got a good hand or bad hand, whatever, and then I say, I make it $15. | ||
| I am not wagering that I'm going to win, I am saying if you would like to continue playing, you must also put forth $15. | ||
| I don't know who's gonna win, I don't know if I have the best cards, and I'm not betting, I do. | ||
| I'm simply saying that's the cost to keep playing. | ||
| And as someone might say, I don't want to keep playing, you win. | ||
| And you can have the worst cards and win in that game. | ||
| Not gambling. | ||
| And I don't think Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic should be regulated as gambling either. | ||
| I'm simply making the point that the legal arguments are nonsense. | ||
| But let's read more! | ||
| What do we got here in the old Super Chats? | ||
| Rusty Razor says, Tim, two of the three big bank failures are San Francisco regional banks. | ||
| Maybe it isn't the banking system that's failing, maybe it's the tech sector. | ||
| Yeah, but the First Republic, this was, you know, billionaires. | ||
| Like, people were buying big assets on crazy loans. | ||
| So it is Silicon Valley, I get it. | ||
| All right, Brandon Devore says, as a magic player in Tim's defense, look up how many magic pros have gone to poker. | ||
| It's not even gone to. | ||
| Tons of Magic the Gathering professional players are simultaneously professional poker players. | ||
| And having played magic most of my life, I think I think poker is a better game because there's less what we would call variance. | ||
| People call it gambling, saying it's a game of chance. | ||
| No, it's just variance in the game. | ||
| But if you know how to navigate the odds of the game and what people are going to do and when they're doing it, then... I look at Magic the Gathering with, like, pros have a win rate of 51% to, like, your average poker pro whose win rate is 90-plus percent. | ||
| And I'm just like, come on, man. | ||
| Don't even bring that stuff to me. | ||
| And I like Magic the Gathering. | ||
| It's fun. | ||
| I got a whole bunch of cards. | ||
| Nuka Taco says, you post Big Blind to get cards in a cash game. | ||
| Only if you want to buy the button at first, or if you wait until the Big Blind comes to you. | ||
| Like I said, you can wait for the button to pass, play cards for free, then get up and leave. | ||
| Because people do it! | ||
| I don't know, whatever. | ||
| Michael Otis says, Tim, have you heard of the artist Ren? | ||
| His song Hi Ren is by far one of the most emotionally moving songs I've heard. | ||
| Highly recommend a listen. | ||
| Very cool. | ||
| Robert Knight says, Tim, I just put the rest of the puzzle together. | ||
| They'll use a bank bail in to pay off bank debts, then issue the Fed CBDC as a replacement for the depositors. | ||
| It's going to start to unfold over the summer. | ||
| That's what I'm saying! | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Real Hydro says, Tim, can you name the top female chess player? | ||
| No, I can't. | ||
| How about the top male chess player? | ||
| Magnus Carlsen. | ||
| That's easy. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Stop looking down on women. | ||
| We are not the same. | ||
| Yes, there's a small handful of top female chess players, but they don't reach the same levels as men. | ||
| There's a small handful of top female poker players. | ||
| There's some that make it and some that don't, but it's overwhelmingly male in like all of these sports. | ||
| I don't know what the point trying to be made is, because I'm not saying women are bad for not being the best at these things. | ||
| I'm just saying men tend to win. | ||
| Therefore, there's a reason why we have a Women's League and a Men's League. | ||
| Robert Bradbury says the greatest thing about New Hampshire is the wild turkeys. | ||
| We have wild turkeys all over our property. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| They walk around and the dudes, their wings like fold down and their butts puff up, but then they can also shrink back down. | ||
| People are, I feel like city people get confused when they see wild turkeys because they don't understand. | ||
| They just look like regular birds because they're used to seeing the Thanksgiving pictures of the big turkey with its tail all spread out and puffed up and looking big. | ||
| Well, in New Hampshire, those are wandering around. | ||
| They do here too, but when the males shrink back down, they puff up to look big and threatening, and then they'll shrink down, and turkeys fly. | ||
| Also, I'm pretty sick too. | ||
| You see a flock of flying turkeys? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah, turkeys fly, man. | ||
| Yeah, last summer I remember seeing turkeys wandering around the streets in New Hampshire. | ||
| MJ, there was a turkey that tried to get into a fight with his reflection in my car one time in New Hampshire. | ||
| No way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah? | |
| Wow. | ||
| That's kinda cool. | ||
| They're stupid as hell. | ||
| MJ's got the good super chat right here. | ||
| Says, Hey Tim, where can we play poker with you? | ||
| So, for the past couple of weekends, we have been in MGM National Harbor, and before that, it's Maryland Live. | ||
| We used to play all the time at Hollywood Charlestown, until I stacked a guy in such a way that he got so angry. | ||
| So, Hollywood Charlestown is the West Virginia casino. | ||
| Uh, he tried bluffing me, I guess. | ||
| He kept, he kept raising his bluff on the, you know, he raises pre-flop, I guess he had nothing, I don't know. | ||
| Then he, uh, he raises on the flop, and I'm calling him, I had Ace-King off suit. | ||
| And so I just, I see this flop, and it's like, I think it was just like low cards, all different suits, and I'm like, this guy doesn't have anything. | ||
| He's just throwing money at the table trying to scare me off. | ||
| So eventually he shoves his whole stack, and it's $300 because it's a $100-$300 game. | ||
| Those are the buy-ins. | ||
| And then I'm just like, I'm sitting there thinking, and I'm like, I got Ace-King. | ||
| It's like the best non-paired hand, and I don't think he made anything, so I call. | ||
| Then he's like, I don't have anything. | ||
| He flips over nothing, and I say, I got an Ace. | ||
| And then they shove all his chips my way. | ||
| He got so pissed off he leaves. | ||
| Well, he lost all his money. | ||
| He comes back half an hour later and starts cussing me out like crazy. | ||
| When I asked them to just move the guy and get him out of my face, they told me no. | ||
| They weren't going to do anything about it and too bad. | ||
| And I was like, okay, I'm not going to play here anymore. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| And I think the issue is their poker room has been like kind of shrinking and falling apart. | ||
| I could be wrong about that, but it's like a lot smaller and no one plays there anymore. | ||
| So they're kind of desperate to retain players. | ||
| So they were like, please don't fight. | ||
| We're going to let him keep doing this. | ||
| I'm out. So, uh, MGM National Harbor is a lot of fun, and I also noticed a lot of people there know who I am. | ||
| So it's really cool. People are like, oh, hey, man, you know, and they're like fist bump me or something. | ||
| So that's a whole lot of fun. | ||
| And, uh, yeah, I appreciate the support. So you might see me there on the weekends if you're ever in the DC area. | ||
| It's a Maryland casino. Oh, you know, Maryland live is cool, though. You know, it's all these Maryland casinos. | ||
| All right, we'll grab one more here. | ||
| Elias Muniz says, Is it possible that the JP Morgan First Republic buyout has something to do with the Jeffrey Epstein JP connection? | ||
| Government may have told them they will sink their own ship to stop people from finding out. | ||
| No, I think it's this essential bank digital currency thing. | ||
| I think it is. | ||

| The only thing I want to plug tonight is St. | ||
| Joseph. | ||
| It's the Feast of St. | ||
| Joseph the Worker. | ||
| If you all are interested, I'm going to be praying a novena to St. | ||
| Joseph for the working class in this country, in this very tumultuous economy, for the unborn, for whatever difficult times that lay ahead to help our country return to God, and for our enemies, people like Dylan Mulvaney and other trans ideologues, that they will see the light and be converted. | ||
| I think Trump said it better when he said, Merry Christmas to everybody, even the haters and the losers. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| But you trust him. | ||
| Let's pray for them and let's also, of course, we were joking earlier, but pray for the people at Vice who are out of work as well. | ||
| Today, I'm so sorry, the link is on my Twitter, if you guys want to go find my Twitter, the link to the Novena. | ||

|
unidentified
|
So I wanted to point that out. | |
| And I'm Serge.com. | ||
| I also dislike communism a great deal. | ||
