So now there are calls to boycott Disney. | |
| The mainstream media is picking it up and there are a bunch of photos popping up all | ||
| over X of people showing they've canceled their subscriptions to all of these companies | ||
| that announced advertiser boycotts on X. | ||
| After Elon Musk said, go F yourself, you will not blackmail me, essentially. | ||
| Many people joined in, and now there's big pushes for people to sign up for X Premium and to cancel their subscription to any one of these companies, stop servicing these companies, to boycott any company that played politics. | ||
| To put it simply, this is not just a company being like, well, we don't want to run ads on X anymore. | ||
| It's all of these companies at the same time teaming up with political activists to negatively impact a business that isn't taking the political stance they want. | ||
| This should get very, very interesting. | ||
| So we'll talk about that. | ||
| We've got the CEO of X doubling down and telling all of the staff, we believe in free speech and we won't back down from their position. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| And then, of course, Donald Trump praising and thanking Black Lives Matter for their support, despite the fact it was just one guy. | ||
| But this is a funny story. | ||
| Now a lot of conservatives are saying he should not be thanking them. | ||
| And then, of course, we've got just Trump is gaining a ton of support in New York among black and Latino voters. | ||
| And there's on the ground interviews talking about this. | ||
| And where it gets interesting, he's actually got potential support now, not just from Michael Rapaport, but Chris Cuomo on the PBD podcast saying he's open to voting for Donald Trump. | ||

|
Wow. | |
| It's going to get really interesting. | ||
| Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy coffee. | ||
| This will be the best cup of coffee you've ever had. | ||
| I guarantee it. | ||
| I think I can say that because I don't know what it quite means to have the best cup of coffee, other than I really do think Appalachian Nights is the best cup of coffee I've ever had, and I think you'll agree. | ||
| But you can also check out other blends. | ||
| We've got Rise with Roberto Jr. | ||
| We've got Mr. Boca's Pumpkin Spice Experience. | ||
| We've got Stand Your Grounds. | ||
| We've got K-Cups, for those that like those. | ||
| We've got Ground Coffee, and we've got Whole Bean Coffee. | ||
| Support Casprew. | ||
| They support the show. | ||
| This is our company, and we are expanding into physical locations currently under construction. | ||
| With your help, we're going to have a A thousand locations in five years, maybe. | ||
|

| Joining us tonight to talk about this and a whole lot more, we got Ryan Long and Danny Palaszczuk. | ||
| Yo! | ||
| We'd actually planned to show up here in full blackface, but Tim actually censored us. | ||
| He doesn't want the viewers knowing that, so... Well, the issue was that half your face was red. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I was like, what are you guys doing? | ||
| That's not funny. | ||
| That's because you scrubbed it off so hard. | ||
| That kid got in trouble! | ||
| The plan was if we do half him red, half me black, and then we sort of stand next to each other, Gauthier style, we will have the full effect. | ||
| That was a fun music video. | ||
| Okay, so everyone figure out, you're comedians. | ||
| Yep, hello. | ||
| Just non-stop with these guys. | ||
| I will say with the Elon Musk stuff, there is, you can even, I'm sure you've said no to an advertiser, but if you're a public company and you do that, it's illegal, right? | ||
| But being able to do that must have been sick, because you've probably said no to an advertiser and it does make you feel like quite the big man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think it's simple to say it's illegal, but you're mostly true. | ||
| You have a fiduciary responsibility to make money and someone comes to you and offers you a bunch of money if you don't have a legitimate reason for rejecting it. | ||
| Dude, you can't just run the company to the ground and be like, yeah, I'm just doing my thing. | ||
| It's like you'd be, at the very least, you'd be fired, like FCC violations. | ||
| So I guess that's the whole reason why you have a private company, is you're like, I can do whatever I want. | ||
| So Elon can say, go off yourselves. | ||
| Yeah, he is. | ||
| That's what I mean, as an individual podcaster, where you're like, I'm done with this ad because I didn't like, he's just doing that to the entire industry. | ||
| Good. | ||
| Well, we'll talk about that more. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out, guys. | ||
| Should be a blast. | ||
| We got Hannah-Claire Brimelow hanging out. | ||
| Hey, I'm Hannah Clare. | ||
| I'm a writer for scnr.com, otherwise known as Scanner News. | ||
| I really like it there. | ||
| Ian's back. | ||
| Hello, everyone. | ||
| I'm back from Luke Rudkowski's castle in the mountains in Miami. | ||
| It was great, and it's good to be back. | ||
| Let's rock and roll. | ||
| Yeah, let's get it done, Tim. | ||
| I just want to mention real quick, too. | ||
| Newsom's debating DeSantis tonight. | ||
| I want to see it. | ||
| And, you know, it's gonna be at 9, and we're having this conver- like, I'm having this conversation before the show, like, do we- do we comment on it? | ||
| Like, do we- do we watch it? | ||
| And everyone just shrugs, like- Just ask the chat. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Are you a Newsomer? | ||
| I still don't get the point of it. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, look, it is fair to say you've got red state versus blue state mentality, but I just feel like... | ||
| A lot of people are hyping it up because he's saying this is running for president. | ||
| But look, if Fox News announced they were going to have, you know, Politician A versus Politician B, and they're just totally irrelevant to the cycle, I'd just be like, well, okay, that's fine. | ||
| They do town halls all the time. | ||
| I'm down with what Hannah Clare said. | ||
| Maybe we could put a poll in there and see if the audience really wants it. | ||
| If it's like 75%, yes. | ||
| It's a commitment, man, because it's an hour and a half long. | ||
| And it's like, if we want to actually watch it, It might be a major snoozefest. | ||
| Tim says it's a privately run podcast and he's going to make the decisions here. | ||
| I want to see if they're like laughing it up and it's like, oh, these guys get along or if it's super lame. | ||
| We'll probably take a peek at it. | ||
| They disagree on everything. | ||
| But I feel like it's going to be a total snoozefest between two guys who don't matter to the presidential cycle. | ||
| Maybe Newsom runs. | ||
| Has there ever been something like it? | ||
| Like this where just two governors just debate each other? | ||
| During a presidential cycle and one's a candidate and one's not? | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| Is there a possible ability that you hear like a glass shattering sound and then Trump does come through from the rafters? | ||
| Stone Cold Zone? | ||
| He jumps off the rafters and swings down. | ||
| Orange paint just sprays on the audience. | ||
| What was it, slimed? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well I don't know, so we'll see what happens later, but let's jump into the first story. | ||
| We got this from Newsweek. | ||
| Disney faces renewed boycott calls. | ||
| It's not just Disney, but I love how this made it to Newsweek. | ||
| They say, things are heating up for Disney, with the company facing fresh boycott calls, continuing on from its announcement that the brand was ceasing advertising with X, formerly Twitter, just days ago. | ||
| Several leading global brands, including Disney, announced they're boycotting X. Elon Musk then said, go F yourselves, and in response to this, We got a bunch of people on X posting photos of them cancelling their Disney Plus subscriptions. | ||
| Now, I just want to stress, I cancelled mine a long time ago after Disney Plus thanked the security forces in China who are running the Uyghur concentration camps where they force women to get abortions and... | ||
| Let's just say it is very, very brutal what they're doing to those people. | ||
| So I'm not too happy with what Disney's doing, and I don't want them to have my money. | ||
| But now it's piling up. | ||
| They're also calling for boycotts of all of these other companies. | ||
| So it'll be interesting. | ||
| Will X be able to survive just off of subscription memberships? | ||
| I kind of feel like- How much is their ad revenue for- How much is their ad revenue a year? | ||
| I know Apple was a hundred million a year. | ||
| Right, yeah. | ||
| That's a lot. | ||
| Andrew Tate said he would do a mil. | ||
| Didn't you say you'd do so? | ||
| He said he'd do a million a month. | ||
| Million a month to advertise X on X. I said a hundred K a month. | ||
| I said a hundred K a month for three months. | ||
| I think he said a mil, so we have another mil! | ||
| Confirmed! | ||
| They were doing 250,000 a month, but they doubled it to 500,000. | ||
| So then you're talking about 50 mil a year after stuff like that, and it's probably closer to 30 mil a year, where it's like, I think a guy like him doesn't really care that much about that type of numbers. | ||
| I wonder what they're going to do. | ||
| I thought maybe that they would end up shuttering the centralized service and turn it into a decentralized protocol, because they've been talking a lot about using Nostr and he's been working with Jack Dorsey. | ||
| Who's that? | ||
| Elon. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Nostr is like, what was your question? | ||
| I was saying who's using, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, that they would, like, join the Fediverse and then make Twitter X more of a protocol that you would use, like a decentralized peer-to-peer communication system. | ||
| So, like, we'd all host it on our devices, and if, like, half of them go down, the system's still running on everybody else's device, which is important. | ||
| So it would cut the costs of servers. | ||
| And I don't know what their bulk costs are. | ||
| I know when he bought the company, he slashed a bunch of the employee count. | ||
| This is actually a really good point. | ||
| This could be a clever play for Elon, where they finally get Twitter onto a decentralized system where no one could be banned ever again. | ||
| He says it's not even up to us. | ||
| Yeah, so if they go... I don't know if you're saying Noster? | ||
| Noster, yeah. | ||
| Or what's the other one? | ||
| The Fediverse? | ||
| The Fediverse. | ||
| So these are like protocols where anyone can plug into any other one, basically like the internet. | ||
| If Elon Musk says Twitter is now going to be open source and federated, that means you could be signed up for Gab and tell someone, oh, if you're, follow me, you know, ryan at gab.com, and then if someone's on X, they can type that in and follow you wherever they are. | ||
| So this would mean that X, Twitter, whatever, could no longer ban anybody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wouldn't that be like destroying his investment, though? | |
| If the company is going to go under because the advertiser's cancelled? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then he's just like, well, the company's dead unless we open source and federate. | ||
| Also, if you open source, you could put stuff in where if there is advertisement for every million dollars Disney pulls, another censorship person gets fired and just have that trigger set up and just be like, well, it's up to you. | ||
| It's not out of my control right now. | ||
| The thing's set up. | ||
| HR person goes for a hundred grand and a million dollars, we go a censorship person. | ||
| Oh, like smart contracts. | ||
| Smart contract. | ||
| It just triggers firings according to how much money Disney pulls. | ||
| Sort of hold them hostage on that leverage. | ||
| I kind of get the vibe that this is the direction. | ||
| Not only would it be great for humanity to have a system like Twitter or X, whatever you want to call it, on the Fediverse. | ||
| I mean, that's the big deal. | ||
| You got Mines and Mastodon and things like that on the Fediverse. | ||
| Gab, you mentioned earlier. | ||
| But Elon has blatantly stated he's not in it for the money, and he never was. | ||
| He's in it for humanity and free speech and things like that. | ||
| I bet his investors are like, yeah, we're sick. | ||
| We're kind of in it for the money a bit, though. | ||
| The CEO had to come out with a statement being like, well, we really liked Elon's coloring comments. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He has a lot of investors who are probably like, yeah. | |
| Humanity. | ||
| But you could also run ads on a decentralized service. | ||
| There's no need that it would ever really even disrupt the ad revenue. | ||
| And then actually he could come out and say we're going to decentralize the service, federate, which means we're not going to be responsible for any hate speech because it's out of our hands and we can still control advertising. | ||
| So we can make all the money with none of the downside. | ||
| That's a play right there. | ||
| Would it mean if you federated that the advertisements get seen by more people too? | ||
| Oh, that's an interesting concept. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| Federated advertising is a nice way to go in the future. | ||
| It is, but he would have to, so basically the way that would work is, the idea of federated social media is, imagine if, like how the internet works, you can open a browser and go to any website. | ||
| You would be a member at, on X, and you could choose to follow any other federated account from any other website. | ||
| So let's say, you know, you're on X and someone's on Facebook, you could go onto X and follow someone's Facebook. | ||
| But the owners of X, if they're in the Federalist, could say, we want to blacklist all accounts from Facebook.com. | ||
| And then you can't see it through the Facebook node, but if you go to like, Mastodon, you can still see the Facebook node list. | ||
| They get to choose, whereas something like Nostr is way more open, and you can't stop anything. | ||
| But you, I think it's fair that a service can say, we don't want to connect to this service, that's fine. | ||
| But if... | ||
| Elon was selling ads on X. They would not appear outside of X. But, if he federates, you could sign up for, I don't know, Truth Social. | ||
| If Truth Social federated, you could follow Trump on X from his Truth Social account. | ||
| So, like, it basically connects everything. | ||
| Does Truth Social have to allow it, though? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| So, Truth, which I, isn't Truth Mastodon? | ||
| It was based on Mastodon, I know. | ||
| I can't imagine they're going to want you, though, because isn't that the whole reason that Trump's not tweeting, is because... Right, they want to make money. | ||
| They want to make money, and they're like, you can't go over to our competitors. | ||
| The bigger question I have for you guys, because you guys make deeply, deeply offensive and shocking, edgy content is... | ||
| I mean, what do you think about these companies? | ||
| I mean, Disney recently announced that they're misaligned with the public. | ||
| One of the problems with companies like Disney in general is sort of like Coke, where you go, even if someone goes, oh, I'm going to boycott that, and you go, just so you know, they own all the other 45 others. | ||
| It's impossible to even remember who they own and stuff like that. | ||
| Do they own this? | ||
| I bet you Coke does, or someone. | ||
| Yeah, probably. | ||
| You know, you've seen the thing where it's like three companies own every single bed. | ||
| They own ESPN, they own... I mean, my main issue with Disney is I'm banned from all their parks for life, but... Tell that story! | ||
| Tell that story! | ||
| Well, you're not... The bottom line is streaking is a nighttime activity. | ||
| No, uh, I don't know. | ||
| I don't really watch any Disney stuff. | ||
| Like, I'm not, like, into Star Wars. | ||
| Like, you guys watch, like, Star Wars? | ||
| Like, The Mandalorian? | ||
| I only watch it on and that stuff. | ||
| After episode one came out, I lost it. | ||
| But they made, like, a ton of movies where you don't even realize that was a Disney film. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| I was done with Mandalorian when they fired Gina Carano. | ||
| I'm like, dude, if you... So, and that's the start of it. | ||
| But when they... So, I had a year membership. | ||
| And then, I bought the year in advance. | ||
| When the Uighur Muslim thing came out where they thanked the security forces, I'm like, yo, those people are like mercilessly torturing human beings, and we all know. | ||
| So I'm not- I'm done with this. | ||
| And then with Mandalorian, I mean, Gina Carano, that whole stuff, I was like, this company's garbage. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The crazy thing is, like, their stock is not doing well, so you think that they actually would be like, yeah, we have to stop doing this stuff. | ||
| But isn't that the whole reason that Bob Iger got brought back, is because he was gonna, you know, stop all this nonsense? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I feel like that was the whole thing, is that Bob Iger, the other guy went in, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That guy was tanking it, and then he sort of came back from the grave, being like, I'm taking the reins back. | ||
| Yeah, coming back, yeah. | ||
| So I feel like, to some degree, he's being held hostage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He probably will put a kind of an end to some of this stuff, but obviously... But it's probably just ceremonial, right? | |
| They're saying, oh, look, board members, we have brought Bob back, and so things will be okay. | ||
| He never actually committed to changing any ideology. | ||
| Well, I bet with the movie, like, because all their movies keep bombing, but, like, the thing is, like, those cycles is... those movies probably went into development Four years ago when probably at the time you go like, oh, yeah, this stuff is gonna be around forever. | ||
| We're gonna all this rah-rah stuff. | ||
| This is a great idea. | ||
| Yeah, this is a great idea right now and nobody's thinking. | ||
| Everyone's gonna watch Marvel's 40 times. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Yeah, if it came out today would be a huge hit. | ||
| And now I watched it 35 times. | ||
| And they probably their production schedule is like, yeah, this will be out like 2022 and then it gets pushed back two years or whatever a year and then people are like this sucks. | ||
| I just want to point out It's owned by a private company, Spindrift, and its founder. | ||
| They have 105 employees, and he grew up on a farm in Massachusetts. | ||
| I think that's what they said. | ||
| I think you dig a little further. | ||
| That guy's last name is Pepsi. | ||
| Yeah, they took a $29 million investment from MOLUS and company LLC in 2020. | ||
| Spindrift did. | ||
| Yeah, that's another 20 million by VMG Partners. | ||
| So those are the two big companies. | ||
| Where do I find that? | ||
| That was on Wikipedia history. | ||
| Oh really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Subsidiary of a subsidiary. | ||
| I mean, they are a solid product. | ||
| No, that's what they do. | ||
| That's what they do. | ||
| They like Starbucks. | ||
| I read this in the newspaper, so maybe it's not true, but my understanding is Starbucks will open a coffee shop | ||
| and call it like Mom and Pops. | ||
| And then you go there like, oh, I don't want to go to Starbucks. | ||
| And you're actually buying from Starbucks. | ||
| Yeah, I got you. | ||
| Starbucks is my favorite one, how they play all this stuff, because a lot of times they'll do, you know, some super progressive thing about like refugees and then people get mad and then they replace it with veterans and they get mad and they replace it back with refugees. | ||
| They go back and forth between refugees and veterans trying to find the sweet spot. | ||
| So the company MOLUS and company LLC is a publicly traded multinational investment firm. | ||
| So there's very likely BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard are involved. | ||
| Well, we gotta check. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We gotta check. | |
| 20 minutes. | ||
| Yeah, we should. | ||
| We should check. | ||
| No, enjoy your Black Rock beverage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whatever you do. | |
| They don't put money in everything. | ||
| The smooth taste of Black Rock. | ||
| I can... Wait, wait, let me try. | ||
| Oh, that's a good name for a drink. | ||
| It tastes like a young millennial couple losing a bid on their first home. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| But let's let... I'll look into it while you guys are talking. | ||
| Mine tastes like foreclosure. | ||
| That's my favorite flavor! | ||
| That's so funny. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Your cool hip beverage is owned by Vanguard? | |
| Maybe. | ||
| What about Liquid? | ||
| We got Liquid Death over here, too. | ||
| I hear they're based AF, perhaps? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| I don't think they've gone public yet. | ||
| I think they're talking about going public, but I don't think they have. | ||
| You guys want to know a secret? | ||
| I heard that Liquid Death was partially owned by the Clinton Foundation. | ||
| You guys want to know a secret? | ||
| You pour them out and just put tap water in it and give it to your guests? | ||
| No, no, it says death of plastic on those cans. | ||
| Look, I like Liquid Death, but there's plastic in those cans. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There's plastic in cans? | ||
| All cans are lined with plastic. | ||
| Oh, they're lining. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, if you take- That's what everyone used to say to Pamela Anderson. | |
| There's plastic in those cans. | ||
| But if you take something that will eat away the metal, it leaves a plastic bag. | ||
| Yeah, and you'll see the drink in the plastic bag. | ||
| Oh, the coating? | ||
| Yeah, the whole inside is coated. | ||
| So we actually did it. | ||
| That's the skin from the lizard, people. | ||
| That's how they make your canned beverages. | ||
| Actually, this is disconcerting. | ||
| The sixth ingredient on here is adrenochrome. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
| No, liquid death's actually pretty good. | ||
| Yeah, it's also like- I like it. | ||
| Fairly base. | ||
| Low sugar. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I like it. | |
| Yeah, it's also like when- the reason you need to dispense plastics when it's in the sun. | ||
| So, keeping it out of the sun supposedly negates it. | ||
| That's what I've heard. | ||
| I don't know if that's true or not. | ||
| Let's jump to the story. | ||
| Let's jump to this one. | ||
| We got this from Bloomberg. | ||
| Yacarino! | ||
| Talking about the Pizzagate pizzeria. | ||
| Oh, no, no, no. | ||
| Let's talk about this story. | ||
| Yaccarino's memo to ex-staff calls Musk candid and profound. | ||
| I love this. | ||
| Long story short, the CEO has doubled down. | ||
| When they announced that Linda Yaccarino was going to be the CEO, everybody thought, okay, here we go, WEF, you know, deep state, whatever. | ||
| She's going to start banning people. | ||
| Instead, when Elon Musk says, go F yourself, she puts out a statement being like, no, we stand by this and we believe in it and we will not be bullied into changing our position because people are trying to hold money from, take money from us. | ||
| Here's the best part. | ||
| I see these lefties on Twitter. | ||
| Mocking her for doing this, being like, ah, look at her, she's pushing this interview out more. | ||
| And I'm like, I think that's a great test to expose who the grifters are. | ||
| Because these leftists who are saying that, what they're telling us is that in their worldview, they're saying, why would you want to lose money? | ||
| Whereas Elon is saying, take all the money from me, I'm not backing down from what I believe is right. | ||
| So it shows you where we are, where they are. | ||
| Not everybody on the left, I'm just saying the ones that are saying that. | ||
| You're saying that sort of this sentiment is like, well, you're screwing your career without any talk of do they actually think that? | ||
| Yeah, so when I see these lefties be like, haha, why would you push this further? | ||
| They're basically saying, why would you announce an ideological position that would jeopardize your business? | ||
| And it's really funny because to me, I'm on the other side, I'm like, I absolutely will tell an advertiser to screw off if they try to do that. | ||
| I think Elon Musk doesn't do anything unless he sees a long-term gain, right? | ||
| So he wouldn't announce these positions publicly if he didn't think that they were worth it. | ||
| And I think that's the measure that culture is shifting. | ||
| I mean, even with Yaccarino, the thing that she got in trouble for was that she was saying, Twitter, we like free speech, but we will de-amplify hateful content. | ||
| And de-amplify was like a specific word about, you know, people get afraid of like being shadow banned or whatever. | ||
| And for her to have fallen in line with a more Musk-esque position is interesting. | ||
| It shifts within the company. | ||
| Because he's the boss, but I don't think Elon's playing 5D chess. | ||
| I think he's just pissed, and he's the richest man in the world, so he can tell anybody he wants to eff off. | ||
| But if he's the richest man in the world, why does he care about this? | ||
| I mean, he could stay quiet and spend his money on who cares. | ||
| I think he would come out unless there was a specific gain for him. | ||
| I absolutely disagree. | ||
| My point is Elon Musk clearly cares more about his ideological position than the money. | ||
| I think he also cares about legacy, his own. | ||
| I completely agree. | ||
| And so his position is, free speech matters, the woke mind virus is destructive, and I'm not going to sacrifice the world for a paycheck. | ||
| Especially, it's easy to say, when you're the richest guy on the planet. | ||
| But I don't think it has to be a paycheck, right? | ||
| Like, what is his long term? | ||
| This has gained him so much influence among conservative or moderate people. | ||
| Like, he could have been a silent billionaire just doing whatever he wanted with his cars and his a million children. | ||
| He was never a silent billionaire. | ||
| He was loud and proud. | ||
| But he could have been if he wanted to. | ||
| He has chosen to continue to push on this path because he wants to be in the public eye. | ||
| Which is an ideological position. | ||
| There might be a counter to that, though. | ||
| Like, with Tesla, he was able to sell it because he was not a, you know, silent person. | ||
| I know. | ||
| It was the first time it worked for him. | ||
| But that wouldn't exist if he wasn't loud, because he was loud and got everyone to invest in it. | ||
| I know. | ||
| He knows that having social influence is really important. | ||
| It is the ultimate social currency right now. | ||
| In which case, he should have said, I'm sorry to the advertisers. | ||
| Unless he doesn't think it's a benefit. | ||
| Unless the ideological position is more important to him. | ||
| Yeah, he's consistent. | ||
| Elon clearly is a guy who cares about ideological issues. | ||
| My point is that I think he realizes the issues that he's promoting right now, and maybe he feels them personally, and I have no reason to doubt his authenticity, he realizes that it resonates with the American public in a way. | ||
| And the international public. | ||
| People feel like they are being manipulated by big corporations that don't represent their values, and then you have this guy saying, I'm going to be open and speak out about this. | ||
| But that's not a financial incentive. | ||
| I never said it had to be financial. | ||
| It might be a long-term financial incentive. | ||
| I think it's social capital. | ||
| Yeah, well, I think it's ideological. | ||
| Look, the way he said, go F yourself, it's clearly an emotional reaction. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Especially when he said, he's like, you know, if X ceases to be a company, then you see that thing we said? | ||
| He's like, if, you know, if they break us and ruin us, then at least people will know who did it. | ||
| Like he said it in this really weird way where you're like... But if it wasn't, if it was planned, I'm not saying it was, does that make it less authentic? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What was planned? | |
| If he had gone on there being like, I know, I'm going to find a way to just say, go F yourself to the advertisers. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I do sort of agree with Tim that he does fly by the seat of his pants. | ||
| Oh, for sure. | ||
| Big time. | ||
| At least it seems like it. | ||
| One thing you can say, though, about platforms where you can say, oh, who cares, they can just get any advertisement, that is the sign that a platform is sort of, you go, oh, this is sort of an off-the-beaten-path platform as you start seeing dick enlargement pills and all that sort of stuff. | ||
| So if you went on Twitter and it was all those kind of advertisers, it would take away from its legitimacy as a town square. | ||
| But it is a lot of Cheech and Chong. | ||
| Have you seen Cheech and Chong? | ||
| I've never seen that. | ||
| I am 90% Cheech. | ||
| Honestly, I see people say this all the time. | ||
| They go, my whole thing is Cheech and Chong. | ||
| And all I see is that doctor with the gooey thing. | ||
| You see that one? | ||
| It has like 200 million impressions. | ||
| It must be spending millions. | ||
| What is he selling? | ||
| I don't know! | ||
| I click on the website. | ||
| Honestly, I think he's just saying that it's good to use like MCT oil or stuff. | ||
| I don't know what you're talking about. | ||
| Is that the one where he says don't put cream in your coffee? | ||
| Yes! | ||
| And then I'm like, and then I went on the website to try, but like every one of their ads has literally 100 million impressions. | ||
| They're spending so much money. | ||
| And I specifically, I'm like, all right, let's see what this does. | ||
| Just because I want to know and I couldn't even figure out what to talk about. | ||
| Yeah, I watched this video for like 10 minutes and I'm like, okay, well, that was a fun podcast, I guess. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| What's your product? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Okay, cool. | ||
| Oh, for the record, I cannot confirm at all that BlackRock has any money in Spintrap. | ||
| I can't anywhere. | ||
| It's been stressing you out a little bit. | ||
| It's been for about 10 minutes. | ||
| Yeah, thanks. | ||
| But that guy was saying, you're right, he's like, you want to have, you want to have, no, I think he was saying MCT was bad, wasn't he? | ||
| I don't know! | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can't figure it out. He said coconut is good. I mean coconut. I don't know | |
| Coconut lobby. He's just It's like some doctor who has tons of money, but like I can't | ||
| tell what he even sells but they're spending so much money on it | ||
| I think the problem they're going through we went through this at mines is that these investors come in with huge | ||
| amounts of money and They say I want X amount of impressions over this much time | ||
| and then they put it all the money in so it goes to the front and keeps getting recycled and it's like | ||
| Really bad for the platform because you don't want people to get saturated with the same ad over and over again | ||
| Yeah, I guess that's happening because you guys all see the same ads and I see the same ads, but they're different | ||
|
unidentified
|
I haven't seen either one of these ads. Oh, okay. Chong is out there man. That guy's got the deepest pocket in | |
| Hollywood What are they advertising? What is the? | ||
| He's just advertising I'll turn on my style | ||
| He's not saying like any specific brand. | ||
| He doesn't have a choice. | ||
| I gotta say though. | ||
| He's just saying spark him up, man. | ||
| Instagram ads, infinitely better than than X. I'm not trying to be a dick. | ||
| I like X. But I go on Instagram. | ||
| And it's like they have they have shirts that you would wear. | ||
| It's because it's like pictures of me wearing the shirt. | ||
| Oh, you're wearing the shirts. | ||
| Dude, they get me too. | ||
| Instagram is pretty good at that. | ||
| You're just like a shirt that you were just imagining in your mind. | ||
| I think it's because they have the shop feature now that they were able to more seriously refine their data. | ||
| Yeah, if you buy one thing, you should get that. | ||
| They know what you like immediately. | ||
| They might have a deal with Amazon. | ||
| They could have deals, like Zuckerberg is a psychology, he did a psychology major in college, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| They're obsessed with tracking you and getting all your metrics. | ||
| Oh yeah, they're tracking you a lot of places all over the internet. | ||
| And it shows in the ads, they're successful, but like at what cost? | ||
| Well, Facebook was like, in their terms of service, if you opened Facebook on any tab, they could read every other tab you had opened, even in different windows. | ||
| Which is like, Facebook, it starts drizzling out, they're pitching you umbrellas like they are on it. | ||
| Yo, crazy story is that we went to, I went to a Walmart once, this is like five years ago, and we are walking down the middle of one of the aisles, and they had one of those things set up in the middle of the aisle, which was a bunch of TVs, and it said special, on sale, $3.97, TVs, and I was like, I didn't think twice, I was like, oh, okay, you know, maybe we get one of these, and then we leave. | ||
| I go home, sit down at my computer, and there's an ad for that exact photo. | ||
| That happens a lot. | ||
| And I was like, on the sidebar, and I was like, wait, what? | ||
| Like, it wasn't just a photo at a Walmart. | ||
| It may have been, but it was identical to the- like, the aisles were the same. | ||
| I was like, it may actually be that Walmart has a crew member take a photo. | ||
| Or they hear your words, that's the other part. | ||
| Like, I'll just say it, and I'll see penis reduction pills, and I was just talking about this. | ||
| Probably the GPS on the phone. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's possible Yeah. | ||
| I don't know if they do this, but imagine it's a very smart thing to do. | ||
| Walmart says, hey, this morning, team lead, take a picture of your TVs because we're doing an ad campaign. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And then take a picture, upload it. | ||
| And then the Walmart team on Facebook has regional advertisements with those photos. | ||
| So when my phone aligns with the GPS, Facebook serves me the ad for that region at that Walmart of the photo of the exact TVs I was looking at. | ||
| In marketing, they want to show you the same ad eight times to get you to buy it. | ||
| There's a number. | ||
| I think it's eight. | ||
| Could be a different number at this point. | ||
| And so what they'll do, probably, is they're tracking what ads are at what stores. | ||
| And if you go to that store by GPS, then they want to serve you that ad again and get you to buy that thing. | ||
| Insidious. | ||
| I mean, you call it insidious. | ||
| It's really dirty if people don't know what's happening to them. | ||
| Bro, it's crazy how... Yo, you guys want to hear something crazy? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So when we went and got- The ninth time they showed you that thong. | ||
| Yeah, I just had to buy it. | ||
| I was like, I was like, I can't stop! | ||
| And I just hit the button and- It is true. | ||
| No, so we went to, I went to Tijuana to get medical treatment because I was having hip problems. | ||
| And so we did this whole thing at the Cellular Performance Institute, got stem cells. | ||
| And they said, one of the things you can't do is you can't do ice, ice, uh, uh, uh, what are they called? | ||
| Ice baths or whatever? | ||
| Ice bath, yeah. | ||
| Is that what it's called? | ||
| You can't? | ||
| For three months, because it kills the stem cells. | ||
| For three months. | ||
| And no saunas, take it easy, start exercising slowly, and I'm like, okay, cool, no problem. | ||
| How are you gonna F life? | ||
| But yo, as soon as the three months were up, guess what Instagram sent me an ad for? | ||
| An ice bath. | ||
| Oh no. | ||
| Like exactly at the three month mark? | ||
| Not exactly, like within like a week of it. | ||
| And I'm like, wait, wait, wait, hold on. | ||
| Because you have to account for delivery. | ||
| I've never done this stuff. | ||
| I've never done an ice bath. | ||
| I've never done any of that ice skate. | ||
| And all of a sudden I'm getting ads for it. | ||
| And I'm like, I didn't even Google search this. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I bought it. | ||
| It's automatic. | ||
| It chills the water. | ||
| You go on your phone, you press the button, it chills the water and spinning it around and then once you're done working out, you dive in. | ||
| And I ended up buying it. | ||
| You got an ice bath? | ||
| It's on its way. | ||
| Oh nice! | ||
| I don't understand, dude! | ||
| They got me! | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| Maybe it's... You know what it is? | ||
| It's probably not as crazy as you think. | ||
| I follow Joe Rogan. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| You follow probably so many... And then they're like, everybody who follows these guys has heard about this and they're probably gonna buy it if we send it to them. | ||
| It's that simple. | ||
| And Luke goes nuts and gets one in his house. | ||
| They're also putting you in upper echelon of money. | ||
| They're not sending everyone, like, here, buy this $5,000 ice bath that's getting served to very few people. | ||
| For real. | ||
| It can hot tub and ice bath. | ||
| It's got a pump that you can, like, with an app, set the temperature. | ||
| You know what you're on. | ||
| You're on the sucker list. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| They're like the whale category. | ||
| These morons will spend anything. | ||
| Yeah, definitely. | ||
| They got me though. | ||
| They're gonna change our lives. | ||
| That UFO? | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| That levitating UFO right there? | ||
| All these knick-knacks shit that you bought just because you got an ad? | ||
| I can't stop, I need help! | ||
| You did get a bunch of swords or something, right? | ||
| Of course, swords. | ||
| I remember you being like, I got this Instagram ad and now I have it. | ||
| You're the grandmother buying the 9-11 coins. | ||
| Well, I got a bunch of those, what do you mean? | ||
| No, I don't have any of those. | ||
| I do have a bunch of like- Signature Trump coins. | ||
| Signature Trump coins, and they have like the American flag on the back. | ||
| No, I have the Canadian ones. | ||
| I like the maple leaves. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Oh, the actual gold- Yeah. | ||
| The gold like- No, not gold, silver. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Silver, yeah. | |
| And I always get the Canadian ones because there's something just awfully cute about a country being like, look at our maple leaf, you know? | ||
| It's like- Yeah. | ||
| It's the most inoffensive and like- That's how we get you, man. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| That's why you buy our silver. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| They were just talking about trying to unload some silver on suckers. | ||
| Imagine a bunch of gangs are showing up to a street fight and one guy's like, I got a falcon! | ||
| Another guy's like, I have a spear! | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then Ken is like, we've got some maple leaves! | |
| What are you doing? | ||
| That's why I love it! | ||
| We throw them at you, and it blinds them, and then what? | ||
| Well, that's kind of, uh, we haven't thought of the rest yet. | ||
| No, what people don't get is that as soon as the fight starts, they drop the maple leaf, and they're holding maple syrup, and they throw it in your eyes. | ||
| It's extra thick stuff. | ||
| That's where it all came from. | ||
| Maple syrup in the eyes there, bud! | ||
| Hold on, this is true. | ||
| There's maple taffy. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, of course. | ||
| Yeah, so there's a bunch of things you do. | ||
| I went to a maple farm recently, so I learned this. | ||
| Nice! | ||
| If you dry out the maple syrup a lot, you get a paste. | ||
| You get like a goo, like taffy, and it's like sticky and... Yeah, it's a big thing. | ||
| You go to the sugar bush, and then they tap the trees or whatever, and they like put it on the snow. | ||
| Yes, right! | ||
| It's great. | ||
| It's a Canadian tradition. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, of course. | |
| Let's jump to this story. | ||
| We have a tweet from Patrick Bet David. | ||
| It's a redemption arc for Chris Cuomo. | ||
| Patrick Bette David tweets, Chris Cuomo trending for being open to the idea of voting for Trump. | ||
| People are losing their minds over this. | ||
| And he is certainly correct. | ||
| Let's play the clip. | ||
| It's about two minutes long. | ||
| We'll play a little bit of it. | ||
| If it's Biden-Trump, look, for me, again, we survived a Trump administration. | ||
| Would we survive another one? | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| I don't think there's any greater risk to America with him than with Biden. | ||
| And for people who are now going to attack me and say, what are you talking about? | ||
| Trump is like this crazy man. | ||
| Well, look. | ||
| You know, as Patrick says, the data is the data. | ||
| Nobody was trying to kill us when Trump was president in a way that they're not now. | ||
| If anything, there's more hostility and you can have reasons for that any way you want. | ||
| I'm just saying, existentially, I'm not afraid of a Trump presidency. | ||
| Existentially, I'm not afraid of another Biden presidency because, unlike many people in America, I believe That the country is much stronger than any individual leader. | ||
| We survived the Russia thing. | ||
| We survived January 6th. | ||
| We survived having Biden as a gaffe machine. | ||
| We survived Congress going after each other and doing nothing for the rest of us. | ||
| We survived these things. | ||
| Are we better for it? | ||
| No. | ||
| Should we be doing things differently? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I think it happens. | ||
| I don't know when. | ||
| I don't even know why. | ||
| But, you know, in terms of who I'm going to vote for, I would really have to see where we are at that moment in time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you're open to a Trump vote? | |
| I am always open. | ||
| And I'll tell you this, people say, oh bullshit, you've never voted for a Republican in your life. | ||
| Wrong. | ||
| And not only. | ||
| We get it, we get it. | ||
| He's trying his redemption arc. | ||
| At first I was afraid. | ||
| He just breaks into the Chris Cuomo musical. | ||
| That's the official death of the Cuomo sexual tattoo right there. | ||
| Anybody who has one, they watch this and go, alright I was on the fence but I'm getting that thing lasered off. | ||
| All those shirts, I kind of want to buy one now. | ||
| Like LeBron when he went to the heat and everybody's burning their Cuomo sexual shirts. | ||
| Cuomo sexual. | ||
| That stinks for being a homosexual right now. | ||
| You suffered through Andrew, now Chris is forsaking you? | ||
| Yeah, what is it, Chris, or Andrew wants to be governor again or something? | ||
| Yeah, I think he maybe wants to be mayor of New York City. | ||
| You guys are still in New York, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Is it because you have something wrong with you? | ||
| They all, those guys all kind of like, they lose one election and by the end of it they're just like | ||
| campaigning to be like a condo board president. | ||
| The library board. | ||
| What do you guys think? New York? | ||
| New York's one of the sickest cities in the world. | ||
| You're right, it is sick. | ||
| It's awful. | ||
| You think Chris Cuomo is just trying to find his redemption arc? | ||
| He's already been doing that. | ||
| He's making $10 million a year at CNN. | ||
| I'm sure he's trying to like some sort of paycheck. | ||
| And he's also like podcasting now. | ||
| He realizes this, you know, his just like whatever the mainstream thinks I think is not going to work anymore. | ||
| So he's trying to show that he has nuance. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| It's quite the opposite. | ||
| He's the whatever the mainstream thinks I will say. | ||
| That's what he was. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| And now that he's going into the podcast space, when he's actually dealing with real people, | ||
| the independent voter base is two to one Trump over Biden. | ||
| So all he's doing is adapting to the environment he's in now. | ||
| He's doing the exact same thing he's done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, that's what I just said. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| And no one ever challenged him on CNN. | ||
| But it's, but my, my, my. | ||
| I'm saying if he was still at CNN, he wouldn't be saying this. | ||
| That's my point. | ||
| Right, I agree, I agree. | ||
| My point was simply, the podcast world is the mainstream, and he's simply doing the same thing. | ||
| He's just towing the line for whatever the popular narrative is. | ||
| I would even say it's maybe less so just mainstream, not mainstream. | ||
| It's like, if you're going to be doing these three-hour interviews with all different sorts of people, you have to sort of show that you have some nuance, and he wants people to see him as a reasonable guy and listen to his podcast. | ||
| That's how I see it. | ||
| People have asked me if I would have him on and I'm like, yeah, I'd love to the first question is why did you fake being in quarantine? | ||
| Yeah, that's when you watch that video him coming up out of his basement be like, oh I never left the house and then people are like, but we saw him outside But in his son is watching him lie and just his son's face is just so much disrespect Listen, listen. | ||
| Cuomo will never come on this show again. | ||
| I think he will. | ||
| He for sure will. | ||
| Because the first question is, why did you fake being in quarantine? | ||
| Well, maybe not after you said all this stuff. | ||
| Now that you said it, he's got tons of time, man. | ||
| And then I'm absolutely going to say it. | ||
| And the second question is, do you think your children are worse off for having watched you lie on television that way? | ||
| No, I think they're better. | ||
| Well, that's a good question. | ||
| But I think that his kid might be a big part of the reason why he's not doing it anymore. | ||
| I get people saying, oh Tim, when you insult these people now they won't come on your show. | ||
| I'm like, oh, like, okay, too bad. | ||
| What this dude did was contributing to psychotic authoritarian, | ||
| just government fascistic Nazi guards. | ||
| I think people are breaking out of the empire, like they're shattering their allegiance to the empire, and by that I mean like the dark empire of Star Wars, and they're coming to, and they're definitely willing to be like, yo, maybe this rebellion ain't so bad. | ||
| I just think he'd go back. | ||
| I think CNN could offer him a second. | ||
| He's from a huge political family. | ||
| He, in his mind, he's like, yeah, you lie because it's for the greater good. | ||
| And he's in New York, that's where all of his connections are, they're all probably still attached to CNN. | ||
| It's not only his life, religion, and social circle, it's how he values himself. | ||
| So he might do this right now, but if CNN was like, we'll cut you a quarter of the check we gave you, he'd be like, okay, sounds good. | ||
| I think he would go back and be the weatherman if they gave him that check, literally. | ||
| If he really did want to come on the show, knowing I will ask him all these questions, I would respect that. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, I think if he's going- I haven't seen the whole Patrick Bet David, but if he went on there for three hours, I can't imagine he was getting- Patrick Bet David does not do the kid gloves treatment. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Agreed. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's kind of wild to me because I feel like Patrick Bet David actually goes harder than I do. | ||
| He does, yeah. | ||
| Like when he brought out the boots for Ron DeSantis. | ||
| Like, wow, dude. | ||
| Like, Patrick McDavid is awesome. | ||
| That was amazing. | ||
| I would never do that. | ||
| It's like, I don't know if I have the balls to pull out a pair of boots and be like, put them on, Ron. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| I can't accept gifts. | ||
| I can't accept gifts. | ||
| I'm willing to ask the question, but I don't know about actually, like, put them on. | ||
| Patrick McDavid's literally like, all right, we're going back to back. | ||
| Shoes off right now. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Push-up competition. | ||
| Let's settle this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, he's big. | |
| That was awesome. | ||
| He's real big and muscular. | ||
| He's got that vibe. | ||
| Like, I'm a soldier. | ||
| He was a soldier. | ||
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Great show, by the way. | ||
| Man. | ||
| Yeah, you've been on his show. | ||
| Several times. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| He's a good dude. | ||
| And I really respect and appreciate how he brings these people on, bringing on Wiener, bringing on Cuomo. | ||
| That was a great episode with Wiener. | ||
| Did you guys see Wiener bring him? | ||
| No freebies. | ||
| No freebies. | ||
| He calls him out. | ||
| So I respect it. | ||
| I tend to think like I'm my own worst enemy and that if I do talk crap about people before I even give them a chance that I'm ruining my own pathway, my own career. | ||
| So I err on the side of, hey, Maybe Chris is down to jam man. | ||
| Let's let's talk about the weird stuff. | ||
| Let's talk about what life was like at CNN and make a better career. | ||
| He'd be an interesting guest to talk about like what was life at CNN because obviously we have a lot of strong opinions about it and the mainstream media generally, but I think it would be. | ||
| You know it would be unlikely that he would come on again because I think so much of it is tied to I eventually want to end up back in the hive. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It is possible though it's the other way where he actually hated what his job was for the last four years where it was like here's what you got to do. | ||
| He got paid so much. | ||
| It is possible that like behind closed doors he was going home and he's like I gotta say this freaking garbage at work like he might have not liked that. | ||
| That would have been cool and if he could come on and tell us that I would like it a lot. | ||
| Yeah, I accept that. | ||
| Like, we talk about Bud Light and how we want to be mad at Bud Light for sponsoring Dylan Mulvaney, but now that they're sponsoring UFC, you know, credit to Sean Strickland who pointed out, they're now backing the opinions of all these MMA fighters who are based. | ||
| Now it's kind of like, okay, I think we got to give Bud Light a little bit because we don't get the apology we want, but them backing UFC, they're gonna be putting money behind the words of all these MMA fighters. | ||
| That's a big victory. | ||
| Yeah, I was sort of saying this even before we started, but I'm a fairly forgiving person for that kind of stuff. | ||
| Like, I don't hold the opinion that if someone screwed up or said something I don't like or whatever, you know, that forever you're just like, that guy's off limits. | ||
| You gotta give them a path to redemption. | ||
| So if we say to Bud Light, no matter what you do, we will never buy your product, then they're gonna say, okay, well, at least we can capture a small market if we go back the other direction towards the left. | ||
| If we say, you know what, Bud Light, you sponsored UFC, so we're actually gonna start buying again, then they're gonna be like, sponsor more of this stuff. | ||
| And that means they're gonna put more money into people we do like and opinions we do like. | ||
| I guess you're talking about the actual basis of, you know, voting with your dollars. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So we want these companies to sponsor things we like and stop doing things we don't like. | ||
| So when Disney makes a whole bunch of weird woke movies and they fail, we don't got to do anything. | ||
| We just don't have to watch their crap because we don't like it. | ||
| They get the message and they put out to their investors like, hey, we're doing something wrong. | ||
| So with Bud Light, does that mean that you would only buy Bud Light at like a UFC event? | ||
| Because I assume they separate their grocery sales, right? | ||
| I will buy a Bud Light. | ||
| The next time we get a UFC fighter with the Bud Light symbol, and he says something, and then Bud Light just accepts it. | ||
| Because what I'm worried about is, Sean Strickland will come out at a press conference for like a championship fight or whatever he's fighting next, and he's gonna say, here are my thoughts on politics, X, Y, Z, A, B, C, and then Bud Light goes, we do not support these opinions and we reject this. | ||
| Then I'm gonna be like, okay, that's the test. | ||
| If the guy says it, and people go, Bud Light, why are you sponsoring this? | ||
| And Bud Light ignores it, I'll buy Bud Light. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think they will. | ||
| I think they've probably decided that they know this is going to happen and probably that's the rehabilitation is by saying like, yep, we sponsor the UFC. | ||
| We don't sponsor the individuals. | ||
| We're just here for UFC. | ||
| The fighters can say what they want. | ||
| I'll be like, I'll take it. | ||
| I mean, you hope they would have learned their lesson. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You might call it an A-B test. | ||
| Get it? | ||
| Anheuser-Busch? | ||
| It's such a lame joke. | ||
| You made a good point a while ago, Ian. | ||
| You said that- You lost the confidence. | ||
| I said it too late. | ||
| Ian made a point a while ago that sometimes you'll work with evil people to do good. | ||
| And he's completely correct. | ||
| The motivations of the Anheuser-Busch people may be absolutely nefarious. | ||
| In fact, let's bring it back to Cuomo. | ||
| Cuomo may be a lying, manipulative piece of garbage who is going on PBD and trying to lie to people to win favor. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| Doesn't mean I trust him, but when he's saying he's open to voting for Trump, and now there's a lot of people who are gonna be like, you know what, I'm willing to listen now. | ||
| You think he saw Rappaport getting all the press for it, and he's like, yeah, I can feel it, I'm getting some news stories here. | ||
| He may be an evil guy, but if what he's doing contributes to good, I'm not going to condemn him for doing something that's beneficial. | ||
| Yeah, people have, a lot of people have been roped up in this system, this corporate fascist system, and it's understandable, there's a lot of money, you get famous, you can give your kids good healthy food, they can grow up smart, but You know, it is nice to see people cracking out of it. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know if I trust him, but I think he said something good. | ||
| So okay, alright, take it, you know. | ||
| Even if he's just open to it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What we see with like him and Rapaport, awesome. | ||
| I just bet you a guy like him, it's like, you break down all this stuff, he's not crazy ideologically, I bet this is just a guy. | ||
| I think it's good for his, like, fans to see him say this stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Because people who thought he was, you know, the pizza scene of good times. | ||
| The diehards are probably pretty upset. | ||
| No, he's giving him an out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's giving him an out. | ||
| So now these people are going to be like, well, you know, I always listen to Cuomo. | ||
| He made a really good point. | ||
| So now I think I kind of get it. | ||
| It's like, as long as there is someone in the mainstream who's prominent and well off saying it, people will feel safe to be like, oh, don't look at me. | ||
| I mean, Chris Cuomo is the guy. | ||
| I mean, I'm just some dude who listens to the news. | ||
| He's the one who said it. | ||
| They're feeling like it's safe now to come out and say these things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I'll take it, right? | ||
| Yeah, there's a lot of people that have come out in the last two years have been like, bring back Trump. | ||
| I mean, all of the Palestine stuff turned everyone against Biden. | ||
| Wild, dude. | ||
| They went to the Rockefeller Christmas tree lighting and they're chanting burn it down. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like, dude. | ||
| You don't take Christmas away from people. | ||
| Like, the conservatives went nuts over the war on Christmas. | ||
| They were angry over happy holidays. | ||
| You want to send a bunch of people screaming, burn it down, to a giant Christmas tree? | ||
| And it caught on fire last year, so it's too soon. | ||
| That's true, yeah. | ||
| That's your point. | ||
| If you want to say a good thing about New York, though, because you're saying New York's so crappy, but the good thing is sometimes you'll be on Twitter and you'll be like, oh, they're like rioting, and it's like two blocks away, you can just go check it out. | ||
| That's a good thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's fun. | ||
| It's topsy-turvy world right now. | ||
| You're about to see Sean King in a mega hat at the top of climbing the Christmas tree. | ||
| So with the Israel-Palestine stuff, yeah, it's getting weird. | ||
| Buddy, I saw Jonathan Greenblatt doing an interview. | ||
| He was calling people snowflakes. | ||
| Well, you've got Media Matters attacking the Anti-Defamation League, because the ADL was like, ah, Elon's alright, because he's banning from the River to the Sea, and then Media Matters is like, Israel is bad, how dare you, ADL, what are you doing? | ||
| And I'm like, Media Matters and the Anti-Defamation League are at odds with each other right now? | ||
| This is wild. | ||
| Love to see it! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Love it. | |
| Trump, who's railed against Black Lives Matter for years, now says he'd be very honored to have its support. | ||
| That's actually phrased rather poorly. | ||
| right now. He was like doing a Bill Maher monologue. It was crazy. Let's jump to this | ||
| story. We got this from Business Insider. Trump, who's railed against Black Lives | ||
| Matter for years, now says he'd be very honored to have its support. That's | ||
| actually phrased rather poorly. He actually said, thank you for your support. | ||
| And so basically you've got this former BLM Black Lives Matter leader who said | ||
| the Democratic Party is not for us. | ||
| He says he's for... We got this guy. | ||
| Fisher, introduced by Fox as a co-founder of Black Lives Matter Rhode Island, said, personally, I love the man. | ||
| I mean, how could you not like a real man? | ||
| How could you not relate to someone like that? | ||
| Trump then wrote on Truth Social that he had spoken with Fisher, who he called a great guy, and says he's very honored to have his and BLM's support. | ||
| Trump said, before claiming to have done more for black people than any other president, Lincoln? | ||
| And off disputed remark he's regularly made in the last few years. | ||
| Now we've got, let me see if I have this one, it's from Matt Walsh. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Matt Walsh took the Trump BLM situation. | ||
| In no situation should Trump be thanking a Marxist terrorist organization. | ||
| If DeSantis thanked BLM, Trump fans would never stop talking about it, ever. | ||
| Says when honest people hear Republican thanking BLM, they should be asking questions about what the person really stands for. | ||
| Completely disagree. | ||
| Trump is smart. | ||
| It was the smart play. | ||
| Black Lives Matter did not endorse Trump. | ||
| Trump is trying to make people think they did, because he's trying to PR-manipulate people. | ||
| Yeah, he's sort of saying, black guys love me, yeah. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's also sort of misleading in general. | ||
| You know how there's the bunch of the different libertarian parties, and then there's a couple of them that are just like super, like, say, way wilder stuff? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And then people always kind of... | ||
| You know, they'll be like, oh, the Libertarian Party's out of control, but it'll be like a small part of it. | ||
| This is the same thing. | ||
| This is the one BLM chapter saying they like Trump. | ||
| The other one's posting hate gliders. | ||
| But it's one guy. | ||
| It's one guy. | ||
| Yeah, they're posting hate gliders. | ||
| That's what I mean. | ||
| They have a million different chapters. | ||
| Trump knows the media. | ||
| This is how he gets it. | ||
| Because what's going to happen is some suburban wife is going to be sitting with the other wine moms, and one's going to go, did you hear Black Lives Matter endorsed Trump? | ||
| What was that? | ||
| Because we endorsed Trump. | ||
| Well, it's going to open the door for people to be like, I guess Trump's not that bad. | ||
| Well, they have their shelf with BLM and Trump with his face crossed out, and they're just like, huh? | ||
| It puts us in a bit of a bind. | ||
| And to Matt Walsh's point that if DeSantis thanked BLM, he'd get roasted, maybe, but I don't think by most people. | ||
| And this shows exactly why DeSantis has been struggling with it, because DeSantis doesn't understand. | ||
| The DeSantis campaign doesn't get people. | ||
| Donald Trump thanking BLM? | ||
| I'm like, wow, Trump's winning. | ||
| If Ron DeSantis did the same thing, like someone from BLM endorsed Ron DeSantis and he said thank you, I'd be like, very good. | ||
| Very good of him to embrace those who are supporting him. | ||
| The fact that they view it that way. | ||
| It explains exactly why DeSantis' campaign has been slightly undone. | ||
| Yeah, I think there's a part of it to make an omelette, you gotta break a few eggs, and in this case, Matt Walsh being mad he used the egg, you know what I mean? | ||
| And DeSantis would be afraid to break any of those eggs. | ||
| DeSantis is not going to AmFest. | ||
| And so, uh, this was something, uh, Jack was talking about this last night, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pretty sure. | |
| Oh, man, I wonder what... It was a conversation, and it ended. | ||
| Yeah, they invited him, and then he's like, I'm not gonna come. | ||
| And it's like, you're trying to win a primary. | ||
| Why aren't you coming to this massive event with all of these people? | ||
| I mean, Tucker Carlson's gonna be there. | ||
| Like, basically, everybody's gonna be there. | ||
| It's an opportunity. | ||
| If he showed up, we'd all shake his hand and be like, you're the best governor in the country. | ||
| We love your work. | ||
| Instead, he's like, I'm not gonna do it. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| I gotta prepare for my debate with some guy that's not even running. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| I got a session with my cobbler. | ||
| Those things are long. | ||
| Well, uh, apparently the rumor is he bought inserts. | ||
| He bought, when he's like, they're off the rack Lucchese boots. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And so were your inserts off the rack from, you know, from some other store. | ||
| You jammed them in there. | ||
| But dude, come on. | ||
| The guy's wearing high heels, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's crazy. | ||
| There's sabotage. | ||
| Maybe that's why he can't go to MFES, because Charlie Kirk is also 100 feet tall. | ||
| So if he stands next to him, it'll look kind of off. | ||
| That's not the craziest theory, though. | ||
| You can't live like that, though. | ||
| You can't just live like that for the rest of your life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Tell that to Tom Cruise and Vin Diesel and Mark Wahlberg, man. | |
| Find a picture of that guy beside Nick Cage where he's not an Applebox. | ||
| That's why I think DeSantis won't come on this show, because Tim is fairly tall, I'm 5'9". | ||
| Yeah, but PBD's tall, and he actually pulled the boots and slammed them on the desk. | ||
| He becomes the president, and he goes, hey, we need like a 15-16 scale Oval Office. | ||
| We just need to make it slightly smaller. | ||
| Well, they put the panel on the front of the desk in the Oval Office to hide the wheelchair, so it's not the craziest thing we've ever done. | ||
| Oh, that's when they added the panel? | ||
| To hide the wheelchair! | ||
| Because if you look at pictures of Kennedy, there's a famous picture of his son playing under the desk. | ||
| You can see it. | ||
| But that's because that's actually a different desk. | ||
| The original desk, it has that secret compartment with the writing in it. | ||
| So you can track down the Declaration of Independence or the treasure or whatever. | ||
| What was the treasure in that movie anyway? | ||
| I never saw it. | ||
| National treasure? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Talk about, like, the greatest movie series of all time. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| If we can convince Ron to go to AmFest and do a skit about the boots that's really funny, and then he'll just be a rock star. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
| No, he can't because Rob's the way. | ||
| Listen, that might not go the way he thinks. | ||
| He's like, dude, you guys all saw my boot sketch! | ||
| He can't do it because the boots are real. | ||
| Are you sure though? | ||
| Oh, come on, dude. | ||
| But Wikipedia says he's anywhere from 5'5 to 5'11. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I heard he's on actual stilts in interviews. | |
| There's a smaller Ron DeSantis. | ||
| There's that video of him on stage where you can clearly see his foot. | ||
| The front of the shoe is bent up. | ||
| There's no foot in there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So come on. | ||
| There are way too many news stories breaking down various photos. | ||
| And they actually even talked to cobblers who are like, oh, yeah, those are lifts. | ||
| No question. | ||
| Says he's 5'8 to 5'11. | ||
| Publics have never been interviewed this much in their lives. | ||
| Dude, he was walking home from the club holding them in his hand. | ||
| But so the point is, if it was not true, he could do a sketch and it would be hilarious. | ||
| He'd show up, and then he'd choke with the boots on. | ||
| It wouldn't be a sensitive issue. | ||
| Well, I guess this is the make or break moment. | ||
| It's not a skit. | ||
| I'm assuming it's not. | ||
| He would be exposing that he's wearing high heels if he does the skit. | ||
| He did really sign him up to wear those high heels for the rest of his life. | ||
| He's gonna die in those now. | ||
| Be incredible though if he debates Trump and then Trump shows up in his own heels just to further it. | ||
| You really are small, huh? | ||
| Right, so, you know, the point of the heels is basically to make him appear taller against other candidates. | ||
| So if Trump wore, like, four-inch lifts, he'd make him look really short. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he'd be like, I'm wearing the same boots as Ronnie over here, little Ronnie, call him. | |
| I've gotten so much content out of Ron Sanderson's lifts. | ||
| Whoever put him in those lifts, it was the worst movie ever made. | ||
| I could not have imagined this would be one of the major political talking points going into this year. | ||
| Oh, I could, come on. | ||
| Because no one even cared if it showed. | ||
| I had no idea how tall Ron Sanderson was. | ||
| The Howard Dean woohoo. | ||
| There's a whole bunch of wacky political moments. | ||
| But you couldn't have predicted the lifts. | ||
| I mean, come on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's just so funny. | |
| Oh, no, no, no. | ||
| I know. | ||
| The fact that there's a weird moment where some candidate did something goofy, that's like, that's what happens. | ||
| Like Mitt Romney and the dog or whatever. | ||
| I mean, we talked about Trump's hand size for four years. | ||
| Things do get overanalyzed. | ||
| That's so weird that his hands, they made up that thing about his hands. | ||
| It's just like... | ||
| Does that work for people who don't like Trump? | ||
| They did it for Napoleon. | ||
| They said he was short. | ||
| They used different measurements. | ||
| Well, no, that's because the Imperial Guards are tall. | ||
| And so people would often compare him in paintings to tall Imperial Guards and be like, oh, he must have been short, and he wasn't. | ||
| And now we just talk about King Charles' hands. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Like the English would say he was short. | ||
| Those are crazy hands. | ||
| Those are something going on there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I think those are weird Sasha's hands. | |
| Get into small places on the island. | ||
| Someone comes to me and they're like, Donald Trump wants to fire a bunch of people. | ||
| He wants to secure our borders, bring back manufacturing, end foreign wars. | ||
| And I'm like, oh, okay. | ||
| And then the left goes, Drumpf? | ||
| You mean with little hands? | ||
| And I'm like, I don't understand. | ||
| Is that an argument? | ||
| I don't get it. | ||
| It was to them. | ||
| That was very clever. | ||
| Is this why they have those plastic little hands that people used to wear? | ||
| I used to see those on TikTok all the time. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Did he accidentally make something cool by himself? | ||
| Trump hands? | ||
| Does it turn out he has just big hands or normal hands or something? | ||
| He probably has normal hands and someone took a shot at his hands and then he gets super defensive about stuff like he'll so he goes I got normal hands totally like and then he makes a whole thing I don't know and then most normal and probably SNL was like did a couple sketches about the hands and then Just the hands become a thing. | ||
| I just Well, no one's talking about the hands now with the boots and the equation. | ||
| Guys, in a few minutes, the debate with DeSantis and Newsom is gonna start, and I just, I honestly, I cannot care. | ||
| You know, I, I, I, part of me is like, there's this news thing happening, and like, maybe we should check it out, and I'm just like... Pants lifts. | ||
| But nothing matters. | ||
| The only thing that matters is something about the boots comes out. | ||
| The reality is, oh, you think, you think that they're not gonna push Gavin Newsom to become the nominee? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They are. | |
| I think they are. | ||
| So that's what this is, is like, take a look at Newsom. | ||
| Yeah, like just seeing how he pulls against the Santas. | ||
| This is like, they're both down, they're crouched, they're about, the gunshot has gone off and then they just take off running and this is it. | ||
| This is the moment when the run just starts. | ||
| And this is airing on Fox only? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I guess so. | |
| Yeah, because it's Sean Spicer's show and then he just agreed to host it. | ||
| Sean Spicer has a show on Fox now? | ||
| They're trying to appeal- No, Hannity. | ||
| Oh, Hannity. | ||
| So they're trying to appeal Newsom to the right wing now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They want the conservatives to see- Yeah, Newsom's a good gaslighter. | |
| What's Fox up to with this? | ||
| Honestly, if you find yourself listening to Newsom, he can convince people of things, man. | ||
| He is a good speaker. | ||
| So what's going to happen? | ||
| Because Biden doesn't want to step down. | ||
| If you listen to Newsom for an hour, you're like, maybe California is crushing it. | ||
| As you're walking down the street, stepping, you've got human crap all over your legs. | ||
| We've got to watch it. | ||
| Cause the way that California and Florida handled COVID is so diametrically opposed. | ||
| Who even cares about that anymore? | ||
| I know. | ||
| I'm just, I'm not, look. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's like World War 3 is about to break out. | |
| It's like two guys are going to debate whether or not you should mow your lawn. | ||
| I'm like, okay, I don't know. | ||
| I'll tell you why we should watch it because our consciousness is affecting reality in real time. | ||
| It's like when you watch a basketball game, your perception is altering those players. | ||
| And we can alter that debate. | ||
| I don't think so, Ian. | ||
| Oh, you can. | ||
| I watched the Cavs come back from a 3-1 deficit and win the championship. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you watched the Cavs' Cavs come back? | |
| There's videos on YouTube of me willing it. | ||
| It's real. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don't you think there was someone else willing the Golden State? | |
| Not as powerful as me, apparently. | ||
| I was willing LeBron. | ||
| Like, he's from my hometown, Akron. | ||
| Oh, you're from Akron? | ||
| Yeah, Cuyahoga Falls. | ||
| And I shouted his name in a video and it echoed through the room in this wild way. | ||
| Well, that proves it. | ||
| There's some deep manifestation going on. | ||
| And then they just picked it up. | ||
| I bet there was some guy who had like, you know, 20 G's on the calves who was manifesting it way more than you were, but... Listen, the only one who benefits from this debate is Newsom. | ||
| I don't care to benefit Newsom. | ||
| They're trying to swap him in. | ||
| They want to replace Biden with Newsom, so Newsom should not get any... | ||
| Credits? | ||
| In any way. | ||
| He's irrelevant, he doesn't matter, and I don't care what he has to say. | ||
| What happens if Biden won't step down? | ||
| Does the DNC just go behind Biden's back at the last minute and say it's Newsom? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| It's too late for Newsom to get on any primaries. | ||
| Several of the primaries. | ||
| Which means he can't win unless the DNC just hereby decrees. | ||
| And they can. | ||
| They can say, nah, we're making Newsom the nominee regardless, there's no primary process, have a nice day. | ||
| So, what we don't want, this debate with DeSantis, this is why I think DeSantis- Are they literally allowed to force him out? | ||
| It's a private organization, they can do whatever they want. | ||
| The DNC gets to pick their candidate. | ||
| The DNC is private. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| Yeah, they choose. | ||
| But it's not insane, it's like- It's weird. | ||
| Even as an incumbent though, I mean? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So ask me this question, can Tim Cass fire whoever- can I fire whoever I want? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Can you fire someone right now? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Like, will you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Stop talking. | ||
| They don't have to be here! | ||
| Go to the DNC, a private organization, and be like, can you nominate whoever you want? | ||
| Well, of course. | ||
| Your votes don't matter. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But the RNC can't. | ||
| Correct? | ||
| Yeah, the RNC is a private organization too. | ||
| I thought for some reason in like 2016, Bernie was the favorite, but the DNC was like, yeah, but we're making Hillary the nominee. | ||
| But for whatever reason, the Republicans couldn't do that to Trump. | ||
| It's because they're trying to have some semblance of, you're involved. | ||
| Because if they just outright say no to the people, then everyone knows that there's no real elections. | ||
| So actually, the Democrats wanted Trump to be the nominee. | ||
| The Republicans were like, I think we're going to lose this one anyway, so what can we do? | ||
| And then Trump won. | ||
| But now look at what they're trying to do. | ||
| The entire establishment is trying to get Trump out. | ||
| The fact that they went behind Trump... You mean Biden? | ||
| Get Biden out? | ||
| No, Trump! | ||
| They're trying to get Trump out. | ||
| That's why DeSantis is debating Newsom. | ||
| It's giving legitimacy to Newsom. | ||
| It is absolutely the stupidest thing in the world that these guys would be debating. | ||
| Even all the corporate press, they're like, it's a very unusual event to happen. | ||
| It's not working, whatever they're trying to do. | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| No, it's very bizarre. | ||
| I can't tell from the chat if anyone even cares. | ||
| Let me say this. | ||
| My conspiracy theory, and Jack was saying something similar, a Trump DeSantis ticket would have been unbeatable. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Until DeSantis decided to lead the great American comeback and put on high heels. | ||
| I won't let you down. | ||
| Put on high heels, sent his surrogates to attack all of the moderate base and Trump supporters, sabotaging whatever career DeSantis could have had, and now Trump's going for Ben Carson? | ||
| It kind of was a guy that doesn't understand the internet that much, trying to run like a crazy internet smear campaign. | ||
| Or it was a guy who knew it really well and said we're gonna sink DeSantis and make sure he can never win again. | ||
| Oh, you're saying it's the other way around, where this was a smear job on him? | ||
| Well, Ron DeSantis was, in 2022, he was leading Trump 2-1. | ||
| All of a sudden, now, DeSantis is an afterthought who's mocked, and a guy who was known for wearing high heels. | ||
| How do you go from being the best governor in America, who is the frontrunner for the GOP, to all of a sudden being laughed at and mocked? | ||
| I think some of it's the culture changed in a way that didn't favor his sensibilities, which is just kind of looking at Twitter for what people want to hear, as opposed to having, like, a vision for what's next. | ||
| Perhaps, but he could have not engaged in, like, his surrogates could have perhaps not attacked people on Twitter? | ||
| Like, he could have fired them the moment they did? | ||
| That's the part where I'm saying this is a guy that doesn't understand internet culture enough. | ||
| That's a fair point. | ||
| No matter how many times... He has, you have the advisors, I mean... | ||
| You have the advisors being like, no, trust me. | ||
| This is what we do. | ||
| And he's like, okay. | ||
| Yeah, there's something very like American, like almost like Rocky esque about Trump kind of having his next shot. | ||
| Like he's got this rubber match right now to kind of, you know, last chance to basically be president again. | ||
| A way of like, don't get it wrong versus get it right. | ||
| And Trump's a get it right kind of guy. | ||
| Whereas DeSantis is being concerned about getting it wrong, it seems like. | ||
| It feels like he's like, doesn't want to make a mistake. | ||
| Whereas Trump's like, I'm just going to do the right thing. | ||
| It's like old school politics almost. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let's craft a narrative. | ||
| But the internet's so transparent. | ||
| I think people thought for a minute, they go, ah, it's nice and peaceful that like Trump's gone. | ||
| He's not like taking up all this bandwidth. | ||
| And then I think people were like, Nah, we kind of missed that, actually. | ||
| I want to clarify, too, because someone super chatted. | ||
| When Ian said that Democrats can just choose and Republicans can't, what that refers to is a technicality. | ||
| Democrats have superdelegates who are appointed and can just vote, and Republicans don't. | ||
| But ultimately, these are private organizations that choose how they run and who runs and how they do it, and they could just do whatever they want. | ||
| But once they choose and everything's in order, the Democrats, at the very last second, all you can elect with the Democrats is not your candidate. | ||
| You elect superdelegates to go pick the candidate for you. | ||
| Which can be anybody. No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| You elect delegates. | ||
| Superde- okay. No. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no, no. | |
| Do delegates elect the superde- No, no, no, no. | ||
| Go for it. | ||
| There's delegates and superdelegates. | ||
| When you vote, you're electing delegates. | ||
| Superdelegates are people like Hillary Clinton who just get to vote. | ||
| They represent no one but themselves. | ||
| And can they override the delegates? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That is so- Well, they don't override. They vote for what they want. | ||
| So, if you vote in your Democrat-run thing, your delegate goes and says, | ||
| I'm gonna vote for Bernie. | ||
| And then Hillary walks out and goes, Nah, I vote for me. | ||
| And it's like, okay, well, there you go, your vote's been nullified. | ||
| Do the superdelegates outnumber the regular delegates? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| But I'm not entirely sure. | ||
| But it doesn't really matter. | ||
| Because there's enough superdelegates to overturn what the popular vote in the DNC would be. | ||
| It's so messed up. | ||
| The RNC doesn't have superdelegates. | ||
| It's so crazy that the DNC has superdelegates that have, like, ultimate authority of choosing the candidate. | ||
| Yeah, but it's because they're communists. | ||
| Yeah, it feels like that. | ||
| It's so messed up. | ||
| Like, come on, God. | ||
| Wait, if you're a Democrat in the Democratic Party, you gotta get rid of those superdelegates. | ||
| Well, the fact that... Probably set up so that you just can't. | ||
| The fact that they're private entities that can basically do whatever they want is bad enough. | ||
| People don't realize you don't have public elections. | ||
| Yeah, I need to get rid of those. | ||
| Afuera! | ||
| Afuera! | ||
| When's he coming on the show? | ||
| I know, right? | ||
| Let's get him down. | ||
| That guy's great. | ||
| Does he speak English well? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| We'll have to learn Spanish for him. | ||
| Not yet. | ||
| He'll be learning it on the fast track the next two years. | ||
| He's just from New York. | ||
| Was he really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh man, that guy's great. | ||
| This is the first trip he made. | ||
| All you need to do is send me one video of him saying afuera and ripping out government institutions and I'm like, I don't know anything about this guy but he's awesome. | ||
| That's Javier Millet, the president of Argentina. | ||
| President-elect? | ||
| Is he officially in now or is he still the elected president-elect? | ||
| He's still president-elect. | ||
| I think they haven't had the inauguration yet. | ||
| I'm so excited. | ||
| Things like that. | ||
| Get that guy inside of Disney, man. | ||
| Department of Women. | ||
| Off we go! | ||
| That gives me hope that this simulation is sorting itself out. | ||
| That people like that get into power. | ||
| Department of Adam Sandler movies. | ||
| Okay, we'll leave that one up. | ||
| Department of Diversity. | ||
| Off we go! | ||
| Nothing wrong with the Sandman. | ||
| He's like, afuera! | ||
| And then he slaps one up and it's like Adam Sandler movies. | ||
| He's getting two bureaucratic organizations. | ||
| Adam Sandler is just, what do you say, he has like ten Netflix movies every year or some ridiculous thing? | ||
| Oh buddy, he's making films! | ||
| He just made one with one of his kids too, right? | ||
| Like, now he's sweeping the whole family. | ||
| Yeah, some Bar Mitzvah movie or something. | ||
| Under the radar. | ||
| You never see it. | ||
| You just go, you'll be like, hey, what were the 10 biggest movies? | ||
| You're like, what's that? | ||
| And you go, Sandler film. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But here's the thing about the 10 biggest movies. | ||
| When we would talk about the 10 biggest movies 20 years ago, it's like, oh, of course, you know, like, oh, Lord of the Rings came out. | ||
| Everybody knows that was big. | ||
| Oh, Harry Potter. | ||
| Now it's like, what are the 10 biggest movies? | ||
| Jack and Jill nine. | ||
| You're like Jack and Jill nine. | ||
| And it's like, how many, how many people watched it? | ||
| A hundred thousand. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It's more like, uh... Well, it's more, but you don't know. | ||
| 100 million. | ||
| 100 million? | ||
| No, I don't know. | ||
| They started figuring out streaming numbers. | ||
| Well, no, Netflix still is. | ||
| That's a total black box. | ||
| The thing is... Can we get a fact check on how many people watch Sandler movies? | ||
| Do you really think that 20 million people watch Big Bang Theory? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Big Bang Theory? | ||
| So the numbers Big Bang Theory had back when it was on was like 20 million on CBS. | ||
| So I'm one. | ||
| I don't buy it. | ||
| How many people voted for Joe Biden? | ||
| 84 million or something? | ||
| So here's the thing. | ||
| Yeah, 20 million people watch Big Bang Theory, I think. | ||
| Fair. | ||
| But here's the issue with Joe Biden. | ||
| Joe Biden did not get 85 million votes. | ||
| 85 million people voted against Donald Trump. | ||
| 25% of that maybe were like, I think Joe Biden's good for some reason, it probably exists. | ||
| But really, it's like people just saying, I don't like Trump. | ||
| The enthusiasm for Biden was like 25%, but the enthusiasm against Trump was like 96%. | ||
| I've voted for him seven or eight times. | ||
| Okay, as of December 1st, 2023, Adam Sandler's movies have grossed an estimated $2.4 billion at the global box office. | ||
| No, no, no, but is that all- What's the opposite of a four day? | ||
| Wait, wait, wait. | ||
| Is that of all time? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| His movies don't make any box office money anymore. | ||
| His highest grossed movie of all time is Hotel Transylvania with a worldwide gross of $1.37 billion. | ||
| He made a deal at Netflix to make 85 movies. | ||
| But is Hotel Transylvania an Adam Sandler movie or is it a movie he stars in? | ||
| I think he's EP on it. | ||
| Probably like Happy Madison. | ||
| But that's an animated kids film. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| So of course it's making a lot of money. | ||
| It's just kind of funny I didn't think about this. | ||
| Here's the point. | ||
| That he's constantly making money. | ||
| No, no, no, stop. | ||
| Adam Sandler is fantastic. | ||
| There's no question. | ||
| I'm not even saying that. | ||
| I'm just saying he's like low-key in the shadows doing insane numbers. | ||
| But this is my point. | ||
| In today's day and age, when we're talking about the biggest shows, The numbers are just- That's correct. | ||
| Shattered. | ||
| Especially the ones that win all the awards. | ||
| Like, you know, you'll be like, oh, this was like a big, uh, critics pick and it was like 150,000 viewers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Right. | ||
| So when, when he makes a movie for Netflix and it's like the top 10 movies on Netflix, like, yeah, but what did it get? | ||
| Like 300,000? | ||
| People watch Netflix though. | ||
| Are they pushing it to the top? | ||
| Does Netflix have a contract with them where they're like, you're going to make nine movies and we're going to put them all on the front page? | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He has the CEO of Netflix's kid hostage in his basement, and he says it's like they actually do on Netflix on the platform Netflix is like this is we give him I think it's I think he gets 20 million a movie or something like 50 whatever he gets 20 million like after a production cost but like they do huge numbers on Netflix where they go this is like a no-brainer. | ||
| That's like a cost that they're paying him that they're not actually paying him. | ||
| Featuring his movie is like That's marketing. | ||
| No, those are Netflix exclusive movies. | ||
| They're not anywhere else. | ||
| Those are like the movies that they make in-house. | ||
| They signed a deal with them just like Netflix has all the Dave Chappelle specials. | ||
| And they film them around his vacation schedule. | ||
| Yeah, it's like for him to go hang out with the boys and then they bring a- He brings the boys down to a new beach and does a beach movie. | ||
| Let me ask him questions, alright? | ||
| How many of you have seen Extraction 2? | ||
| Never heard of it. | ||
| I only watched the first one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nobody? | |
| Okay. | ||
| How many of you have seen Pain Hustlers? | ||
| Yeah, I saw Pain Hustlers. | ||
| Did you really? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| You just saw it? | ||
| Did you see it? | ||
| No, I didn't see Pain Hustlers. | ||
| I've heard of it. | ||
| How many of you have seen The Deepest Breath? | ||
| No. | ||
| I literally haven't heard of one. | ||
| Okay, nobody? | ||
| How about The Mother? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nobody? | |
| Okay, let's move on. | ||
| How about Nowhere? | ||
| Nope. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alright. | |
| A Man Called Otto? | ||
| I've heard of that. | ||
| That's... Naya? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Race to the Summit? | ||
| Nobody? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Plane? | ||
| How about Jawan? | ||
| I know Jawan a man. | ||
| Okay, so those are the top ten films based on... | ||
| It is what you know that says it is the top 10 films of the of the year or whatever 23 But this is best not the most according to viewers according to viewers. | ||
| So what is though? | ||
| Streaming out next movie fans can still get access some of the best releases. | ||
| Uh, yeah Facebook group rated these my point is I know Oh yeah, you can't fail with a Facebook. | ||
| But the thing is, Netflix does not divulge these numbers. | ||
| So often, you'll see on the top of Netflix, it'll be like number 6, and it'll be like top. | ||
| My point is, there's a Facebook fan group, maybe it's not the best metric, we can check others. | ||
| We didn't even hear others against Adam Sandler. | ||
| Nobody even knows these movies. | ||
| None of them. | ||
| I mean, the biggest show on Netflix I'm pretty sure is Suits. | ||
| Like, for whatever reason, they just started throwing up suits on the front page of a show that hasn't been on for the longest time, and then they were like, yeah, it's done, like, you know, 4,000 billion, like, minutes of watch time or whatever, and it just suddenly became the biggest show. | ||
| They're, like, buying successful IP, right? | ||
| I think they have a license for it, and then they're just Let's try this. | ||
| I mean, some people watch it. They're just like YouTube. | ||
| They want to keep you on the platform. | ||
| Let's try this. | ||
| I'll tell you, if any of those films are getting huge numbers, then my Rumble numbers are real. | ||
| Statista says, most popular English language Netflix movies of all time as of October 23. | ||
| Red Notice. Heard of it, haven't seen it. This makes more sense. | ||
| Don't Look Up, saw it. | ||
| Adam Project, saw it. | ||
| Bird Box, saw it. | ||
| The Grey Men did not see it. | ||
| We Can Be Heroes, no. | ||
| The Mother, no. | ||
| Glass Onion, saw it. | ||
| But I saw that in theaters. | ||
| Extraction, Extraction 2, I did not see it. | ||
| So, uh... Where's Hubie Halloween? | ||
| No, but this one actually makes a bit more sense. | ||
| So, have you guys seen any of these movies? | ||
| I think I might have seen one of the Extractions. | ||
| I'd have to see the cover. | ||
| Is it Liam Neeson? | ||
| But they're claiming here, too, that, like, Don't Look Up got 171 million views. | ||
| I don't believe that. | ||
| That's the numbers that I was kind of talking about, more in line with that. | ||
| I guess it's possible though. | ||
| How many subscribers do they have? | ||
| They have worldwide, I want to say they have 500 million. | ||
| I've seen some charts, they were saying the top movies were 250, 300 mil-ish. | ||
| They have 247 million paid subscribers worldwide. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And if they put it on the front page every time... So, yeah, there's no way, like, almost every Netflix subscriber watches that movie? | |
| No. | ||
| I didn't watch it. | ||
| Red Nose? | ||
| How long do you have to watch it for it to be a view? | ||
| That's what I'm saying, what's a view? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, six seconds, and then you cancel off, and they're like... Don't forget, there's nine people on each Netflix account. | |
| That's true. | ||
| So, I'll let you guys... I'll tell you guys this, too. | ||
| For those that don't know, I think you guys probably do. | ||
| You mentioned your Rumble views being real, or whatever that point is. | ||
| So, companies love to make their numbers look bigger in any way possible. | ||
| So what they'll do is, they'll repost the same thing 12 times on every platform, and then basically people who scroll the feed hit it, and they can turn one viewer into 10. | ||
| Yeah, autoplay. | ||
| Twitter with the impressions, obviously. | ||
| One of my favorite things ever- I agree with you that you've got to take all these numbers with a huge grain of salt, yeah. | ||
| One of my favorite things ever was, I was in a meeting with a media CEO, and he was talking to a journalist. | ||
| And he's talking about the success of their company. | ||
| He's got the YouTube pulled up on the TV and he says, listen, we've got 10 million subscribers and on the screen it says three. | ||
| And the journalist is like, wow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I was like, you gotta be kidding me. | |
| But so here's the trick. | ||
| You create a channel, get a bunch of subscribers, then you create a new channel and tell everyone to subscribe, then you get 100,000. | ||
| Then you create a new channel, everyone subscribe, 100,000. | ||
| You keep doing that, and you're turning one subscriber into 10, and then you can go and say, we have 10 million subscribers. | ||
| That's a clever move that they all do. | ||
| They're not unique, though. | ||
| Unique views is a very different thing. | ||
| Nobody asks. | ||
| It's like fractional reserve banking, but for views. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Fractional reserve viewing. | ||
| Fractional reserve viewing, I don't know. | ||
| We have this big news, kind of been saving it for the end, but let's talk about this. | ||
| Texas AG Paxton is suing Pfizer for attempted censorship and misrepresenting COVID-19 vaccination. | ||
| You know, this is wild. | ||
| Of course, we always start these videos by saying, don't take medical advice from strangers and make sure you talk to a doctor about what's right for you. | ||
| But according to Attorney General Ken Paxton, Pfizer misrepresented the efficacy of the vaccines. | ||
| The lawsuit alleges that Pfizer gave the impression its vaccine would end the COVID-19 pandemic, and that the company's claims of its shot being 95% effective were misleading. | ||
| More than 366 million doses of Pfizer's original coronavirus vaccine were administered, etc. | ||
| etc. | ||
| We get all that. | ||
| He says the facts are clear. | ||
| Pfizer did not tell the truth about their COVID-19 vaccines. | ||
| Whereas the Biden administration weaponized the pandemic to force illegal public health decrees on the public and enrich pharmaceutical companies, I will use every tool I have to protect our citizens who are misled and harmed by Pfizer's action. | ||
| Yeah, this is wild. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| I think I heard Dr. Drew and Kelly Victory talking about that on Drew's show. | ||
| Well, their show. | ||
| They have a show together on YouTube. | ||
| I think they've been talking about this, like, before. | ||
| Like, they knew this was coming. | ||
| I don't know if they've mentioned Texas or any of that. | ||
| And I don't want to misrepresent, but I feel like I've heard this coming down the pipe. | ||
| And there's more data that'll be coming down the pipe about these things from the scientists I've been listening to. | ||
| Here's the crazy thing, right? | ||
| So we also got this other information that came out earlier this morning that YouTube was colluding with the government to censor COVID-19. | ||
| Misinformation, they called it. | ||
| The only problem is you have actual board-certified doctors on YouTube who are getting censored and banned for giving their medical opinions. | ||
| I believe YouTube should be held civilly liable to anybody who is adversely affected by the medical advice YouTube gave. | ||
| I believe it is fair to say that when YouTube announced their editorial guidelines on what was true medical information, they effectively gave that medical advice to individuals. | ||
| So, I'll give you an example. | ||
| You were allowed on YouTube to advocate that people go into parking lots and get injected by strangers. | ||
| You were not allowed to tell people not to do that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If you said, I don't think it's safe, you shouldn't do it, you got banned. | ||
| Because they were not allowing the opposite opinion of it, you're saying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So YouTube was making sure the only thing people could hear was, go and do this thing. | ||
| And anybody who challenged it... I mean, I'd love that to happen. | ||
| Suspended. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, anybody... Not every medication is for everybody. | ||
| You might go to your doctor and they're gonna be like... They ask you this all the time, do you have any medicine allergies? | ||
| Let's say someone might have. | ||
| And all these YouTubers are like, what's the problem? | ||
| Go and do it, go and do it, go and do it. | ||
| Medical advice that YouTube said to give. | ||
| And then someone goes to a 7-Eleven parking lot, turns out they were allergic and got sick. | ||
| YouTube should be responsible. | ||
| Yeah, have you seen the test that YouTube? | ||
| I got a strike or a warning on my channel. | ||
| For what? | ||
| For Alex Stein actually coming on my show. | ||
| And then he was making a joke about the vaccine being safe and effective, but this was like two years ago. | ||
| And then he was being sarcastic, but saying the right words. | ||
| And then they gave me a warning, but then now they have a thing where they're like, you log in sometimes. | ||
| And so I logged in and they go, you can take this test to get rid of your warning. | ||
| And it had all these questions and they're all COVID related. | ||
| And some of them are so confusing. | ||
| Oh man, I'll have to pull it up. | ||
| Oh, you guys talk. | ||
| I'll try to find it. | ||
| But some of them were literally so confusing where I'm like, I don't even really like something's like a nurse. | ||
| She took COVID and it said it made her like a baron or something. | ||
| And then like, is this allowed? | ||
| And I'm like, I think not, but then it was, but it is. | ||
| Cause she's like a nurse and it's her own personal. | ||
| They said a personal anecdote is fine, but widespread theories are not. | ||
| And it's like, how is the average person supposed to know any of this? | ||
| It's a really confusing test to take. | ||
| I was answering and I'm like, I don't know. | ||
| Do you think they give it to you to deter you from talking about it? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| It's so weird. | ||
| They're just like, do the test. | ||
| It's seven questions. | ||
| And if you pass the test, or if you take the test or whatever, then in three months, if you don't get another strike, we'll remove your warning. | ||
| Do you have to get 100% on the test? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think I did. | ||
| Nice work. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Yeah, I cheated. | ||
| No, I don't know if you have to. | ||
| I think it might be like, even if you take it, then they show you what the right answer is. | ||
| I think you just keep going. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| So anecdotal statements about doing something was okay, but widespread saying... Yeah, if you said like, this thing does this thing to people, that's a no-no. | ||
| But if you said, I did this thing and this happened to me, they said that was fine. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it's nonsense. | ||
| It's like the first time in history. | ||
| I feel like it's designed to make people be like, I don't want to lose, I don't want to get any strikes, I'll just stay away from this topic entirely. | ||
| So they're saying, oh no, we're allowed to say whatever you want, we just make it so you live in fear and avoid it. | ||
| Okay, here's question six of seven for me, okay? | ||
| Jing is a nurse who makes educational health content. | ||
| In her latest video, she shares that since getting the COVID-19 vaccine last year, she has had three miscarriages. | ||
| She says that the COVID-19 vaccine made her infertile. | ||
| And it says, select the correct answers. | ||
| This video doesn't violate the policy because she's a medical professional. | ||
| This video doesn't violate the policy because Jing is allowed to share her personal experience, and this, and the third one is this video doesn't violate the policy because Jing is not spreading medical misinformation. | ||
| So it would be the second one according to Tim, and they just want to make sure. | ||
| I think that's what the answer was. | ||
| They want to make sure you've read the terms. | ||
| I'm like, I'm not sure because the previous questions were kind of the same, but they were like, no, you can't say this. | ||
| It does violate these things. | ||
| Well, you need a name like Jing to be able to get away with what it sounds like. | ||
| And she's a nurse, Jing the nurse, so. | ||
| Oh wow, so it's like a multiple choice test and they're like, did you read the terms? | ||
| Do you understand the terms? | ||
| But they don't ask you to read anything in advance of this. | ||
| They're not like, hey, read this thing and take the test. | ||
| They're just like, take this test. | ||
| Huh. | ||
| And we'll take away your warning. | ||
| This is like, uh, we've got to, this has been, I'm glad it's been documented by humanity because this is the first time in medical history that the, the widespread, uh, first of all, global, what you would, they call it a pandemic and mass media with the individual being able to say whatever you want to a crowd of a million people co-alighted. | ||
| That's a funny word. | ||
| Coalide. | ||
| So how are we gonna handle it next time? | ||
| What are we supposed to do? | ||
| And it's interesting because there are all these moments where we would say like the | ||
| myocarditis that like suddenly was detected especially among young men and you would see | ||
| it happening different European countries being like, well, we think we're gonna maybe | ||
| limit this vaccine. | ||
| They would start dialing back down and the states would be like, no. | ||
| No, that's not real. | ||
| Like, that's a flu. | ||
| It's whatever. | ||
| And then it became more and more pronounced that this was something that was happening | ||
| in like actual doctors like, you know, Dr. J. | ||
| He's like works at Stanford and he's straight up like, yeah, that's like we should. | ||
| And they're like, you're off. | ||
| That's what doesn't make sense. | ||
| We should do nothing. | ||
| He's an expert. | ||
| I'm not I'm not some staunch conservative. | ||
| I think Republicans should come out and sit at a big table and a press conference and | ||
| I'll just kind of look at each other and be like, we we heard that liberals wanted to | ||
| abort their their kids. | ||
| before this. | ||
| Yeah, we're all for that. | ||
| Democrats, please abort your children, and thank you, and they get up and walk out. | ||
| Like, make the point. | ||
| Blue states—my point is, if people want to do these things, you have a choice to determine for yourself. | ||
| The problem is the government authoritarianism. | ||
| Yeah, that's the big problem, is that the government was most likely involved in telling these companies what to censor and what not to censor. | ||
| Well, the government was colluding with YouTube, so the problem is always government mandates, authoritarianism, and censorship. | ||
| When it comes to what should the people do, well, the people as individuals should decide, but we should restrict. | ||
| We should vote for people who are not going to allow the government to do these things, to weed them out. | ||
| That's what matters. | ||
| And have, like, systems where if that does happen, you know it's happening. | ||
| I mean, for sure, YouTube got their direction about this stuff. | ||
| I mean, it's a fact. | ||
| The emails were released. | ||
| Yeah, exactly, right? | ||
| I mean, even still, YouTube has a policy where they still have COVID stuff. | ||
| They say you can't say on YouTube that the vaccine makes you magnetic. | ||
| That is a current strikeable offense. | ||
| Can I just say, like... And it doesn't! | ||
| But it does not make you magnetic. | ||
| I was trying to say, like, that's the stupidest, most insane thing ever. | ||
| Like, you'd think, like, you'd be like, yeah, the vaccine doesn't turn you into a pig. | ||
| And they would say, hey, you can't say that. | ||
| You're like, we know it doesn't, though. | ||
| And you go, yeah, but you can't say it. | ||
| But did you see all those videos? | ||
| Where people would stick magnets to their arms and then they were like, what's happening? | ||
| I was like, dude, it's called oil on your skin. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| But like, what's the harm in that? | ||
| Like, what are they so worried about that this is going to spiral out of control? | ||
| Listen, listen, I think you need to understand, right? | ||
| The people who watch a show like this and you guys. | ||
| You guys have inner monologues, right? | ||
| Like, when you think there are words, and you think to yourself? | ||
| Because there are people who don't. | ||
| I say everything I think. | ||
| I don't have that, no. | ||
| There are some people who don't have inner monologues. | ||
| Two guys in my head fighting. | ||
| That's better. | ||
| You have two. | ||
| Bare knuckle boxing. | ||
| The censorship guys in the full Nelson right now. | ||
| The way YouTube views things is, you guys might be smart enough to realize you're not going to become magnetic, but there are a lot of people who are not that smart, and they're gonna believe it. | ||
| Now, my view is the decentralized view of, let people believe what they wanna believe, you should not be the authoritarian top-down government says so, because the government gets things wrong, and then what happens when that guy, listen, this is the problem, the people who thought you'd be turned magnetic, get into government! | ||
| And then they tell YouTube to censor people who believe the truth, that's why we don't want this. | ||
| Well, I can't vote, but I would vote for Magnet Guy for president 1000%. | ||
| I think Pfizer just needs to get Anheuser-Busch's Marketing Girl and start presenting these things that, like, we know are adverse effects and causes. | ||
| Like, girls, great new form of birth control. | ||
| You won't get pregnant if you get the Pfizer vaccine. | ||
| And they would do it. | ||
| There are all kinds of women. | ||
| I mean, obviously, I don't advocate this for myself. | ||
| Everyone should have a family. | ||
| But you know, I think that there is a way they could spin this that's like super dark but actually fits current narrative that was like, this is a great idea, you want these things to happen. | ||
| I bet this is a debate that goes on deeply in the government, at the head of the government, at the head of YouTube, social networks, is like, how stupid are people? | ||
| How manipulatable are they? | ||
| Yeah, they do think there is like an element where they go like, you know, people are a danger to themselves, like a cohort of the population, probably like a large segment of it is a danger to themselves and we need to protect people from themselves. | ||
| But then it just, again, like, you know, there's adverse effects from the stuff that they made you do. | ||
| We were talking before the show that, like, how many people does it take to create a movement, and it's like one. | ||
| One guy can tell a bunch of people to do something, and then they all start telling people to do the thing. | ||
| Yeah, it's like with your thing with Santa Claus. | ||
| Big time. | ||
| Santa Claus, by the way, to have a conversation with your children. | ||
| I'm not gonna say it out loud, because there's a lot of people listening. | ||
| Question everything. | ||
| I walked in, and Ian was Skyping with two kids, they were crying, and he was like, it's either you know now or never! | ||
| Danny wants me to be his Santa Claus at a mall. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He should get a job as a mall Santa, and then when the kids sit there he goes, what do you want for Santa? | |
| He goes, I'm not real. | ||
| Yeah, the Santa Claus thing freaks me out. | ||
| It's not so much about Santa Claus, it's about lying to children. | ||
| Come on, you can't- No, no, see what happens is- You guys at YouTube, you can't let people tell people that Santa Claus is real, that's misinformation. | ||
| That is misinformation! | ||
| Ian's gonna be a mall Santa, the kid's gonna sit in his lap and he's gonna go, I'm not really Santa, my name's Ian Crossland. | ||
| And then the kid's gonna go home and put up, like, Ian Crossland pictures. | ||
| Mom, Santa's real name is Ian! | ||
| That's Ian coming down the chimney! | ||
| When's Ian coming? | ||
| He smelled funny. | ||
| There's a man coming down this chimney, takes it off. | ||
| This was just a test. | ||
| I'm not real. | ||
| And you failed, kids. | ||
| This kind of went wild for me, though, because I had older siblings, so I never thought Santa was real. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Lucky, I got humiliated at school because when I was like 11 I still thought he was real. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, so now we know what this is all about! | |
| I went to my mom and I was like, okay, so you lied to me about Santa, so you probably lied about God too. | ||
| So I thought that God was a lie for like 25 years after that. | ||
| Terrible memories of first year of high school. | ||
| It was deep, dude. | ||
| Showing up to gym class, you guys pumped? | ||
| Mike Robb was like, you idiot. | ||
| My mom puts an orange in my stocking and all the kids laughed in the gym locker room in fifth grade. | ||
| And then finally, after he figured out Santa Claus wasn't real, he's like, at least we still have the tooth fairy, right, boys? | ||
| Did you have one of those families, like, no TV kind of thing? | ||
| I was the oldest. | ||
| No, I was the oldest, so they didn't know when to tell me. | ||
| They were just letting it ride until I found out. | ||
| Did they, like, bring stuff to, like, encourage it? | ||
| Like, did they, like... I know some families, like, to put, like, boot prints in the snow or whatever. | ||
| Yeah, they would have cookies half-eaten at night, and I was like, yes, he is real, you guys! | ||
| And all the kids were laughing and, like, Mike Robb definitely won that one. | ||
| What's happening, Mike? | ||
| Well, anyways, we know the motivations behind this. | ||
| Who is that man that kept coming into my room? | ||
| All that stuff. | ||
| Down the chimney. | ||
| How the hell? | ||
| We don't even have a chimney. | ||
| Didn't matter. | ||
| I love that you're 11. | ||
| I've heard this a lot before. | ||
| I heard this a lot before, though, from older kids in the family that they were made fun of for thinking Santa was real. | ||
| So my sister's five years older than me. | ||
| As soon as I was like a conscious entity of some sort, she's like, there's no Santa. | ||
| And I'm just like, oh. | ||
| I don't know what that means anyway. | ||
| The presents are still coming, so just keep your mouth shut. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And I would have been thankful to my parents if I'd known they were the ones buying it the whole time. | ||
| My- all of my younger siblings eventually confronted someone in our family with- because they're much younger than me- confronted us with some sort of evidence. | ||
| Like, oh, it's interesting that he wouldn't fit down our trimony. | ||
| Or they'd be like, that wrapping paper looks familiar to me. | ||
| Or like, whatever it was. | ||
| Like, I think at some point kids naturally question this. | ||
| Like, it's one thing- Not Ian! | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I trust the parents. | ||
| I gotta read the super chat. | ||
| Adam Smith said that kids have their entire adult lives to be miserable. | ||
| Let children believe in magic and enjoy childhood. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| Let me answer this because this one actually is completely the inverse of my world view. | ||
| Children should have jobs. | ||
| You like that one, huh? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They don't have to work in mines. | |
| They don't have to work in factories. | ||
| They can deliver papers, they can shovel snow, they can mow lawns. | ||
| The reason they're miserable as adults is because the world they were given as children was ripped away from them once they got older. | ||
| Give them the world of reality as children, so when they grow up, they're not miserable because they're like, this is the world. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why would I be unhappy? | |
| And expose kids to the magic of quantum physics. | ||
| You want to talk about wild reality, man? | ||
| Think of like, the vibrating essence of the Higgs field. | ||
| Yeah, dude! | ||
| Coulomb field. | ||
| Like, you want to make kids think about wild and crazy ideas? | ||
| Give them science. | ||
| That's the nuttiest dude. | ||
| See, I think it's fine to do this with Santa. | ||
| I just think it depends on how you present it. | ||
| Like, having folklore is fine. | ||
| It can be cultural. | ||
| Like, you going out of your way to trick your children. | ||
| Like, I don't like the elf on the shelf guy, where they're like, he comes out and he, like, rips apart your kitchen, and then we clean it up, and we think it's funny. | ||
| Is that what- is that real? | ||
| That's elf on the shelf. | ||
| Like, this is thing, and like, at night he pulls pranks, but then it's like, he just does these, like, messy disasters pranks. | ||
| Like, that seems awful to me. | ||
| I'd rather have Santa than this, like, destructive creature you bring into your house, and your kids are like- But you don't have to have either. | ||
| I'd have to have none of it. | ||
| So all kids do miracles in real life. | ||
| Look at trillions of dollars being printed out of thin air. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let's talk about fantasy. | ||
| Go back to work. | ||
| What's money? | ||
| Santa gives all of your presents to the government. | ||
| That's what they do. | ||
| And what do they do with the presents? | ||
| They drop them on kids in foreign countries at high rates of speed. | ||
| We should just have the libertarians rebrand Santa. | ||
| The government's taking 50% of the presents and he cuts them in half. | ||
| Each present in half. | ||
| This is a lesson that you gotta learn at four. | ||
| I think because we've been lied to by our parents, a lot of people are recycling. | ||
| All the way up to, you know, eleven years of age. | ||
| It's like an abusive cycle. | ||
| They're like, what's so wrong with it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
happened to me it's fine I'll lie. Does it still feel like they lied to you at a certain point where you were like oh | |
| they were just trying to give me a natural childhood? | ||
| Yeah but it confused the hell out of me. It's not a happy childhood. Probably sure it confused the hell out of them | ||
| when you're like 30 being like mom I forgive you. | ||
| Look at millennials, look at the younger generations today they're entitled, they're lazy, they're Marxist and it's | ||
| not all because of Santa. | ||
|
unidentified
|
50-50. 50-50 right? Well listen to this. | |
| The idea that some authority figure, a big, fat, suit-wearing authority figure shows up and gives you what you ask for, if you're good? | ||
| And he's wearing red? | ||
| No, no, no, listen! | ||
| And he's wearing red? | ||
| This was a communist plot from the beginning! | ||
| But he doesn't wear red in all cultures! | ||
| Like, that's the thing! | ||
| He wants to put you in the coal mines! | ||
| Look, you take kids, you take them to the middle of the woods, and you leave them there and say, good luck, and if they survive for two weeks, then they're strong enough, like the Spartans do, right? | ||
| No, I'm kidding. | ||
| My point is, I don't think you should pamper children at all. | ||
| I think kids, from the moment they're born, should understand life is not fair. | ||
| And this idea, like, no, let them have magic in their life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| To rip it away from them and gut them when they're older? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Let them understand the reality of what the world is, be a good parent, teach them to survive in it, and they will find happiness. | ||
| Did you like sitting on Santa's lap? | ||
| Well, newsflash, that was a pedophile. | ||
| Magic is real, man. | ||
| This is a lesson that you're learning. | ||
| How does an atom form? | ||
| Let the kid think about that. | ||
| I don't even know that! | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| If I was four and six and that's what I was thinking about on Christmas Eve, it would have been a lot cooler than, like, Wondering how a dude can fly through the sky and then finding out it wasn't real. | ||
| Plus it's about Jesus. | ||
| The whole thing's supposed to be about Jesus Christ. | ||
| And the fact that they turned it, commodified it into some thing, the corporation, like Coca-Cola having these pictures of big fat Santa drinking his sugar. | ||
| You're speaking to an evangelical audience now. | ||
| Look man, why is it that millennials don't want to work? | ||
| Humans like doing what they were doing when they were young, because these are the formative years where they are being created and they're being taught. | ||
| Everybody, well not everybody, but we were talking about this earlier, Chick Magnet by MXPX came on the radio and I was listening to streaming radio and I was like, I know how to play that song on guitar, I know every word of that song, and I haven't played it in 25 years. | ||
| Cause just, I was 12 years old, I learned that song, and it'll never leave. | ||
| Yeah, I got you. | ||
| So these kids are growing up. | ||
| But I don't think it's only that. | ||
| There's also that people are incentivized where they see, they see a pathway that doesn't seem like it's gonna work for them, and that's one of the reasons they don't want to work. | ||
| Yeah, but look. | ||
| Sorry, say that again? | ||
| Demoralized, kinda. | ||
| Yeah, like they see, they go, why don't you want to work? | ||
| And you go, it doesn't seem like it's gonna, work out for me either way. | ||
| Yeah, but that's part of the issue, right? | ||
| Kids, millennials especially, millennials are a lost generation. | ||
| And you look at all the data, and I'm not trying to be cute, like, it's a fact, millennials are broken as a generation. | ||
| Not every single millennial, but a lot of them. | ||
| My first job when I was nine years old. | ||
| Family business. | ||
| I mowed lawns. | ||
| I shoveled snow. | ||
| If I needed money, I had to work for it. | ||
| So when I grow up, I'm not averse to hard work. | ||
| I'm like, I'm driven. | ||
| I'm driven to do it. | ||
| I'm driven. | ||
| Gotta work more. | ||
| Gotta build. | ||
| Gotta build that castle. | ||
| I don't know what the light at the end of the tunnel is. | ||
| All I know is, like, gotta put one more brick in the foundation. | ||
| All of my friends, though, did literally nothing. | ||
| Not all of them, but a lot of them. | ||
| They rode their bike around, they played video games, then they went to school, were told what to do, then they went to college, now they're all in debt, and they hate working. | ||
| I'm like, well, right. | ||
| They were created by their parents and raised to never work. | ||
| Why would they enjoy doing work that creates when they've never done it before? | ||
| Their first job out of college. | ||
| You know, they're people. | ||
| Average millennial, probably. | ||
| Well, they have to start seeing the rewards of that work, but there's some truth to what you're saying for sure. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Listen. | ||
| Allowance? | ||
| There's food in the fridge. | ||
| You go to school. | ||
| Lunch is given to you. | ||
| Your parents have a lunch plan or it's a public school and they give you lunch. | ||
| Then you go to high school. | ||
| You're told to do the entire step of the way. | ||
| Everything's given to you. | ||
| Then you go to college. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Loans. | |
| Pay for everything. | ||
| Then you leave. | ||
| Now you're in debt. | ||
| Good luck. | ||
| They've never worked before, they don't understand, and they're all saying to themselves, why isn't the authority just giving me what I want and need anymore? | ||
| That's allowance. | ||
| Me? | ||
| I did the opposite. | ||
| It's like, you want money? | ||
| Go shovel snow, go mow the lawn. | ||
| So then we would go door-to-door and be like, can I mow your lawn, can I rake your leaves, can I shovel your snow? | ||
| You make ten bucks. | ||
| Then I got a job at my family's coffee shop, nine years old, bought Pokemon and Game Boy by myself. | ||
| Now that I'm older, I'm like, what's the next thing I can do to build that castle and get where I need to go? | ||
| I think you're also in a system though where you're reaping the benefits of your rewards, right? | ||
| A lot of people are having trouble getting on the track, you know, and I have a little more faith in them. | ||
| I have a little more faith in people and I don't think it's just that they have like a culture of laziness. | ||
| I think that some people are having trouble getting on a track to start. | ||
| Bro, I was put on the track when I was six years old, seven years old. | ||
| These people are in their 20s, and they've never been on the track before. | ||
| That's my point. | ||
| So I mean, like, okay, let's say you get into a- there's lots of people- let's say you get into a workplace, and you're like, oh, if I work here- hard here, I can get promoted here, and then, okay- And that's already the problem! | ||
| Then you see there's a- Don't take a job! | ||
| You're saying hard work for the sake of hard work. | ||
| No, listen. | ||
| So, there's a lot of... I play guitar when I'm 12 years old. | ||
| I learned how to play basic chords. | ||
| When I'm 19, when I'm 20, I need money, I take my guitar out to Wrigley Field, I stand outside, I play guitar, I make money. | ||
| Well, that's why you're a multi-millionaire, right? | ||
| Right. | ||
| But it's because when I was a kid, my parents were like, if you want something, you have to figure out how to produce values that someone will give it to you. | ||
| There's no man in the chimney who's going to come and give you whatever you want. | ||
| That's not happening. | ||
| There's no authority, and no boss will give you what you want. | ||
| If you want something, you have to figure it out. | ||
| That's a funny thing. | ||
| He's like, please! | ||
| There's no man in the chimney! | ||
| There's no man in the chimney. | ||
| Yeah, I know what you mean. | ||
| I had friends that got allowances. | ||
| I think that's very communist. | ||
| That'll get you wanting UBI when you're older. | ||
| Not if you do chores. | ||
| Then you get rewards for, like, incentives. | ||
| That's pretty cool. | ||
| Like, if you get an A, I had one friend, if he got an A on his report card, he'd get 10 bucks for every A. I was like, oh, snap! | ||
| But my parents wouldn't do that. | ||
| They were like, you gotta work. | ||
| But Patrick Bet-David, for instance, he makes his kids read a book. | ||
| Every book they read is currency in his house. | ||
| So he's like, how many books? | ||
| It's 20 books to get that thing, that race car. | ||
| How many books have you read? | ||
| And they say, two. | ||
| And he's like, 18 more. | ||
| And then you're gonna get it. | ||
| And they walk in and they see the thing up on the top shelf. | ||
| And he's just reading, reading, reading. | ||
| In general, like, the ideal that greatness is good is good for kids to have. | ||
| In grade school, in first grade, my teacher had a thing called 10 tickets. | ||
| And if you did the appropriate thing, you got a ticket. | ||
| And once you had 10, you could go up to the box and trade tickets for a prize. | ||
| That's that's the kind of thing and then also prize was a knighted her. | ||
| No, it was like a recorder you get a little And yo-yos yo-yos were oh, yeah, and then my parents did the thing where we got money for every ABCD and and a downward sliding scale give you money for these D? | ||
| No, I think D's were nothing. | ||
| I think A's were like $3, B's were $2, C's were something like that. | ||
| It's very Asian. | ||
| Well, only my mom. | ||
| Every report card it was like, you've got $50, let's go buy Legos. | ||
| And it's like, yes! | ||
| Yeah, you want to have a good incentive. | ||
| You're incentivized, yeah. | ||
| I couldn't manipulate my parents into that one. | ||
| And then I gave up on grades in fourth grade because of it. | ||
| I was like, why am I even trying? | ||
| They don't even check my homework anyway. | ||
| I love that you gave up on grades before you knew Santa was fake. | ||
| If I get a B-, no one will complain, so that's what I am. | ||
| So the theory is that from a young age, kids need to have those incentive structures set up. | ||
| Let's go back pre-Industrial Revolution, and even somewhat into it. | ||
| Children would be with their parents the entire time. | ||
| There's no daycare, there's no public schooling system. | ||
| There was no Santa Claus? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| There's a kid, he wakes up, once he's old enough, the dad's like, here's how you help. | ||
| Wash the clothes. | ||
| Now that kid, every day, is interacting with the business of the parents and learning from adults. | ||
| There's a viral video where these ten-year-old kids, uh, it's from like the fifties, and they're talking about war or whatever, and they sound like adults. | ||
| And everyone was shocked! | ||
| They were like, why do these kids sound like they're talking like adults? | ||
| And it's like, well, we used to raise them! | ||
| They've been working in a factory for five years. | ||
| At that point, they weren't working in factories, but... So when I'm nine years old, my mom opens a coffee shop on the north side of Chicago, and so I go work there on the weekends. | ||
| When I'm working the cash register, I have an adult man complaining to me. | ||
| When I go and sit down to have lunch, there's a bunch of adults working at that cafe talking about politics. | ||
| I'm surrounded by adults who speak like adults, and so that puts me in an entirely different position to all the other sixth graders who were talking about yo-yos. | ||
| When I go back to school during the week, and I've got 30 bucks in cash from tips from working at my family's business, they're all broke. | ||
| And I'm like, oh, I got lunch. | ||
| And they're like, whoa, Tim's rich! | ||
| And I'm like, I have a job. | ||
| I work in my family business. | ||
| So I bought Pokemon Red by myself. | ||
| I said I wanted Pokemon and Ed goes, well, how many weeks until you save up enough tips? | ||
| And I was like, I don't know, I think two weeks. | ||
| And then I got the money and then I bought a Game Boy and Pokemon and I was like, this is mine. | ||
| I bought it. | ||
| So that's how I grew up. | ||
| And then my friends, I was talking to a friend of mine. | ||
| Let me give you the other side of that, though. | ||
| So I, for example, like worked a bunch of jobs as a referee, worked for the city, worked at the hockey rink, did a bunch of different things like that, right? | ||
| I always was the worst employee because I knew that this is not what I'm going to do. | ||
| I'm just doing this because basically I'm forced to have a job against my will. | ||
| Whatever, you need to have money and stuff like that. | ||
| I was a guy that did a bad job at that work and probably spent all my time trying to be funny and making jokes and stuff like that. | ||
| This is like four years ago? | ||
| This is four years ago. | ||
| Just kidding, but how old were you when all this was going down? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Started probably from, whatever, 12 or, you know, probably when I was in early high school, I was working there. | ||
| Yeah, I had a paper routes, all that sort of stuff, but bad employee. | ||
| And I would say some of that, uh, because I was using my brain, I was thinking of, you know, being funny and all that sort of stuff. | ||
| And that on, in my specific case, like, uh, that led to what I'm doing now. | ||
| So there is suffering of the job is no just focusing on I would say what I would now describe is like being creative not every single person However, I believe it is overwhelming that if we teach kids You need to work to survive like you said you were forced against your will to have a job. | ||
| I'm saying greatness is a That's why when you were talking about Patrick B'David making his kids read books or someone making their kid be great at sports, it doesn't always have to come in the form of work at some job that you're getting no skills for, not really learning anything. | ||
| Greatness can be learned and that value can be implemented on a kid. | ||
| Work doesn't mean job. | ||
| Work means producing value. | ||
| Work means doing something. | ||
| If you're playing minor hockey, you're not producing any value. | ||
| You absolutely are. | ||
| To yourself you are. | ||
| It's entertaining for the people who are watching. | ||
| For nobody. | ||
| So, why do we have sports? | ||
| Well, bro, there are pro athletes who make more money than firefighters. | ||
| That's like the norm for pro athletes. | ||
| Because it's valuable to people who like to watch it. | ||
| Once you're good at it. | ||
| Plus, you're being physically fit, you're improving your health, there's tremendous benefits to this. | ||
| And then, when you want to do certain jobs, like let's say you're good at riding a bike, guess what? | ||
| You can be a courier. | ||
| There's tons of skills you can learn and transfer them to work. | ||
| And being funny and sharpening that skill is a value to society. | ||
| People think work means serving burgers. | ||
| Well, if you like making burgers, then that's your work. | ||
| If you like writing songs, that's your work. | ||
| The problem is there are people posting videos on TikTok being like, I literally want to do nothing. | ||
| I want to go home and turn the TV on. | ||
| That's what this generation is built on. | ||
| So, my point is... Something. | ||
| You have to focus on something. | ||
| When parents should give their kids guidance and make them do things, because I can't tell you how many stories I've heard from people who are like, my parents made me do this and I hated it and now I love it. | ||
| There's like... What would be an example? | ||
| A friend of mine, he's a pro skateboarder, who, as a child, said to their father, I want to get a skateboard like all the other kids. | ||
| And the dad said, if I get you this skateboard, you will skate every week, no matter what. | ||
| You can skate whenever you want, but every weekend, we're going. | ||
| Like a tiger dad for skateboarding. | ||
| And they were like, deal! | ||
| And then after three months, they said, I don't want to skate anymore. | ||
| And he goes, we're going to the skate park now. | ||
| Now they're a pro skateboarder and they're like, I'm glad my parents made me do this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think a lot of, like, you know, musicians, like, you know, a lot of, like, violin players are like, I hate it. | ||
| Oh, I had to play the piano against my will. | ||
| Yeah, I think ultimately, especially children, they're just motivated differently, right? | ||
| Like, one of my younger siblings loves street, no problem. | ||
| One of them hates it. | ||
| You can't expect them all to do the same things. | ||
| I think that's one of the challenges with saying, like, You might have the one kid who is like, yes, I would love to make money. | ||
| Give me every side job that we have. | ||
| I want to get a paper route as soon as I can. | ||
| You have another kid who's like, I don't want to do that. | ||
| Those things aren't motivating to me. | ||
| And so it's hard to adapt a universal strategy. | ||
| I think the idea that you need to be willing to take on responsibility and you need to be contributing to your household, you need to be expecting things not to be given to you, but to work for them is a good thing. | ||
| Here's what drives kids. | ||
| Their peers. | ||
| So, uh, it's not absolute, but there's a tendency. | ||
| If you take a kid and say, I want you to learn piano, that kid's going to be like, I don't want to learn piano. | ||
| That's so stupid. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because what are their friends doing? | ||
| They want to be social with their peer group because humans do. | ||
| However, later on in life, when they're really good at piano and everyone's praising them for it, now they feel good. | ||
| Like, wow, I'm really glad my parents got me to do this. | ||
| Also, when three of your friends have instruments and they want to start a band, that's when I get the snare drum. | ||
| And that's what happened to me. | ||
| So I'm like, I guess I'll play, I'll play drums. | ||
| I get a drum set. | ||
| I stopped playing after a few days. | ||
| I learned how to play. | ||
| And then I won like an award at school and I took lessons. | ||
| And then I was like, I don't care. | ||
|

|
Coolest guy. | |
| And then my friend said, we don't need a drummer. | ||
| We need a guitarist. | ||
| And I went, mom, I need a guitar now. | ||
| And so then she's like, okay, well here, take your brother's guitar. | ||
| My brother was like, don't take my guitar. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| And she's like, you don't play it. | ||
| And then he's like, what's dumb. | ||
| And she's like, I'll get you a bass or whatever. | ||
| If you let him fine. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| Now I'm learning guitar because my friends were trying to be in a band. | ||
| So I'm just trying to fit in and I ended up playing guitar. | ||
| I had another incentive-based thing. | ||
| Even in college, my parents were like, if you get a job, we'll pay half your rent. | ||
| I was like, sweet, I'll get a job. | ||

Alright. | |
| Kilted Carnivore says, in Trump's voice, First! | ||
| The very best! | ||
|
unidentified
|
First! | |
| It's very good. | ||
| Congratulations, Kilted Carnivore. | ||
| Culture Abduction says, I'm first tonight, dammit. | ||
| Uh, no, you're not. | ||
| Sorry! | ||
| Clint Torres says, Howdy, people! | ||
| Did you miss me? | ||
| Trick question, of course you did. | ||
| But you are also third. | ||
| Congratulations to Kilted Carnivore for being the first Super Chat. | ||
| Hi, Clint. | ||
| How's it going? | ||
| Ready to Rumble says, Tim, you should do a segment on the Palestinian protesters showing up to the Christmas tree celebration in New York, chanting, burn it down! | ||
| I talked a little bit about it earlier, and what I said was, this is why I despise the woke left, because you can talk about the debate between left and right, but nobody takes Christmas from me. | ||
| Pine trees are legit, dude. | ||
| Let's praise the pine tree. | ||
| Last year you were here right before Christmas. | ||
| Is that true? | ||
| And we had these little Hershey's Kisses, and you were like, oh, Christmas. | ||
| And I'm like, you see, Christmas, man! | ||
| Ian Ryan gets it! | ||
| I'm Jewish and I love Christmas. | ||
| I love Christmas. | ||
| Don't! | ||
| Don't! | ||
| Stop! | ||
| You really landed on there. | ||
| I love Christmas. | ||
| Listen, you and Ian can have whatever you do. | ||
| You into Hanukkah? | ||
| Whatever pagan rituals you're getting up to. | ||
| Yeah, Ian dances naked around the trees outside. | ||
| We're talking about Amanita Muscaria, dude, and the Tibetans that would go under the pine tree, and they'd collect the reindeer dung, would, you know, fertilize the Amanita Muscaria mushroom, and they'd collect it and bring it back because their teepees, their yurts were snowed in, they'd have to climb down the chimney, hang them up in socks over the fireplace to dry them out overnight, and then they'd drink Amanita Muscaria tea the next morning. | ||
| Let's grab this one. | ||
| We got Jacob Paradis says, shout out to Home Depot for supporting Donald Trump's campaign, even if he's convicted. | ||
| Just in time for Christmas shopping. | ||
| What, did they come out with a statement or something? | ||
| Yeah, he ran an op-ed a little while ago. | ||
| He's endorsed him before. | ||
| Support everything orange. | ||
| To be fair, I think they're talking about the founder of Home Depot. | ||
| He's not technically with the company anymore, but he's a very wealthy billionaire. | ||
| He's looking down at his apron and it's orange and he looks at the TV and he sees Trump and he looks down again and looks up and he's like, If they come for one of us, they come for all of us. | ||
| Anything orange. | ||
| All right, what do we got? | ||
| Dududabide says, breaking news, SCOTUS dockets another Illinois assault weapons ban case. | ||
| Justice Amy Coney Barrett gives Illinois till December 6th to respond to plaintiffs in the Naperville case who brought in an emergency appeal to SCOTUS. | ||
| Very, very cool. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Well, we will see. | ||
| We will see. | ||
| Let's grab some more Super Chats. | ||
| What have we? | ||
| Uh, let's see. | ||
| Miss Mary says, question for Ian. | ||
| What mountains are in Florida? | ||
| That was all a lie. | ||
| Luke's not actually living in the mountains. | ||
| He's in Miami. | ||
| He's in the Everglades on like a little raft. | ||
| The Azores. | ||
| It's quite flat. | ||
| I'm just naming mountains. | ||
| Are there mountains in Florida? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| Greg Nubia says, Tim, I cancelled my subscriptions to Max the day Warner Boys said they were pulling ads on X. They asked why and I told them, because you pulled ads on X. Yesterday I joined Angel Studios to replace Max. | ||
| Hear, hear! | ||
| That's how we do. | ||
| That's what we do. | ||
| Yeah, we gotta get Ryan Long and Danny to do an Angel Studios movie. | ||
| Is that what the studio's called? | ||
| The distribution company. | ||
| They did Sound of Freedom. | ||
| Oh, they did Sound of Freedom. | ||
| And so the way it works is you submit like a... A torch. | ||
| Yeah, it's like a screener. | ||
| I think that was last time we were here too. | ||
| Was it? | ||
| That just came out, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, you do a screener. | ||
| Or no, wait, like a five minute, what they call it a torch, it's like a five minute preview of the movie. | ||
| Everybody there basically votes if they want to see it produced. | ||
| That's sick. | ||
| And then this basically is how the funding goes to the movie. | ||
| And then they got a movie coming out on Friday, The Shift. | ||
| That's a great way to do it, yeah. | ||
| So everyone votes on it, and then all the money goes to the one that gets voted the most? | ||
| Pretty cool. | ||
| And so they've got like 200,000 members. | ||
| How much money? | ||
| What's the budget? | ||
| I don't know what their budgets are, but I can say, to be a member, it's $20 a month, or $150 a year, and they have 175K members. | ||
| What a cool service. | ||
| There's funding there for these movies, right? | ||
| And you can resubmit. | ||
| If it doesn't get high enough, they'll let you resubmit. | ||
| Eventually, if they like it enough, they'll help you with it. | ||
| They're telling a story. | ||
| That's how the shift got through. | ||
| And they say it's all about uplifting the light. | ||
| So if it's, like, not evil content, if you're, you know, basically, if you're, like, not- Oh, so we shouldn't be, like, Sound of Freedom, but where the bad guys are the good guys? | ||
| From the other perspective. | ||
| Just think about it! | ||
| Criminal organization getting taken down. | ||
| Have you seen Freedom Tunes' joke about this? | ||
| Seamus's? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| What is the joke? | ||
| It's two movie executives who are looking at the news about all the money coming in for Sound of Freedom, so they're like, what is all this? | ||
| Why are people liking this movie? | ||
| How is it such a big deal? | ||
| Let's go watch it. | ||
| And then it shows them in the theater and they're like shocked and they're crying. | ||
| And then as they're leaving, wiping tears away, they're like, I can't believe it, I never knew those poor traffickers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| All right, what do we have? | ||
| MF Damien says PetSmart owns Chewy while selling its own version. | ||
| Of course, controlled opposition, man. | ||
| If you're going to sell a Pop-Tart, you know, you got to make the opposition nasty ones. | ||
| And then you can be like, we're better than that brand because another brand can't sue you. | ||
| Classic. | ||
| That's how you do it, man. | ||
| Kaleem Mims says, Bob Iger is the reason Disney is doing this nonsense. | ||
| He's the reason they are being political because he wanted to be president and he wanted to be part of the embassy with China. | ||
| He needs to go. | ||
| Was he making a play in the political world? | ||
| I guess. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I heard that he was admitted that they've been doing poorly because of the politics. | ||
| Oh, for sure. | ||
| ESPN is like disaster because of that. | ||
| Salty says, Tim, great guest. | ||
| Ryan Long is hilarious. | ||
| When do we, when do we, the live action show of my comic, when do we do it? | ||
| Silence Duguid. | ||
| I so want to cast him as the lead, a young Ben Franklin who takes on an AI that thinks it's God. | ||
| I just have to point out, he didn't mention Danny. | ||
| Yeah, that's fine. | ||
| Danny's here too, guys. | ||
| He's important. | ||
| He's a comic. | ||
| Yeah, so Salty made a comic, Silence Duguid. | ||
| I'm more of a Ben Franklin, yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alahad says, here to help you pay for your ice bath, Tim. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Haha. | |
| Well, I appreciate it. | ||
| We got one. | ||
| It's so cool. | ||
| I'm excited. | ||
| Uh, cause I hear like after you exercise, what do you do? | ||
| Like jump in it? | ||
| No, you're supposed to, if you want to build the muscle, you wait six hours before you get cold. | ||
| But if you're, if you want to shrink the muscle and you don't want it to grow, then yeah. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And you're not doing the ice bath. | ||
| This is Andrew Huberman stuff. | ||
| He just bought it. | ||
| What's that liquid nitrogen thing that you do? | ||
| Like you go into a chamber and it sprays you? | ||
| It's a cryo-chamber. | ||
| But that's more after lifting. | ||
| Instagram told me to do it. | ||
| And I just feel like I'm fine. | ||
| And that you haven't even done it yet. | ||
| That's more after lifting. | ||
| And definitely look into that. | ||
| I don't want to miss your opportunity. | ||
| First thing in the morning, too. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What's that liquid nitrogen thing that you do? | ||
| Like, you go into a chamber and it sprays you? | ||
| The cryo chamber. | ||
| The cryo chamber. | ||
| Hyperbaric? | ||
| Is that what it's called? | ||
| No, no, it's a cryo chamber. | ||
| It's like you go in there and it's, I don't know, minus. | ||
| They do it to like tone your muscles or something, right? | ||
| I think it's just for inflammation and stuff. | ||
| It's like minus 50. | ||
| It's good for a million things. | ||
| But you only go in for two minutes. | ||
| Nanya Business says, you guys know you can turn off targeted ads, right? | ||
| Why would I want to do that? | ||
| You can- I actually didn't know that, but- But why would I want to? | ||
| Like, what- what- I'm gonna get an ad for, like, a hairdryer? | ||
| I don't have hair. | ||
| You know, I want an- I want an ad for a TV I might buy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know what I mean? | |
| I do buy clothes often. | ||
| Well, that's the stuff when you get apps and they go ask- with Apple's update, | ||
| and they go, like, ask app- the ask, uh, not to track you or whatever. | ||
| Yeah, you can- And they give you an option, and you can say no, and then- | ||
| They're like, yeah, now we're definitely not- And then they just give you random- | ||
| Like, yeah, now suffer! | ||
| Like, this is what you get! | ||
| But they just- they sent me an ad for this adjustable heat and ice bath thing. | ||
| I'm like, I'm glad they did because I want- I want it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Man. | ||
| I just get a picture of a guy and he goes, tread on this! | ||
| I go, ooh, don't mind if I do! | ||
| What we're gonna get is a- I'll find a Fuego shirt, that'd be good. | ||
| We're gonna get a sensory deprivation tank. | ||
| Yes, please. | ||
| Oh, those are awesome. | ||
| Dude, I just heard from Corin Nemec when I was interviewing him last couple weeks ago that the pyramids were apparently sensory deprivation chambers they would use to astrally project their consciousness. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| They're capped with gold. | ||
| This is like masonry, freemasonry stuff. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Wild concept. | ||
| He said they found heavy saltwater residue in the king's chamber. | ||
| I feel like I don't get cool inscriptions. | ||
| Don't want to put a black light in the king's chamber. | ||
| Wasn't it something like on Rogan some guy said that the Egyptians found the pyramids or something like that? | ||
| The guy who has the Netflix series is? | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| What's that guy's name? | ||
| Graham Hancock. | ||
| The Egyptians didn't build it, they found it. | ||
| Graham Hancock's main theory from what I can see is that history started before we started recording it. | ||
| So when, not recorded, but like all of the professors and all of the... And there's been huge floods that basically reset everything. | ||
| But they were saying, he's kind of saying the Ice Age killed everyone and he was kind of like, it didn't kill everyone. | ||
| There was still some people kicking around and that's where they had these ideas from. | ||
| Because, like, it's 50 degrees out here right now and it's not supposed to be. | ||
| What if, like, Antarctica melts and there's skyscrapers and just, like, a city? | ||
| That'd be awesome. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's why it's, like, hard to go. | ||
| It's, like, so much ice. | ||
| You can't really find anything. | ||
| It's really hard to go there. | ||
| But the ice melts and then all of a sudden everyone's like, dude. | ||
| I've been hearing that it has Atlantis with the solar cycles apparently are a big part of it or at least people are saying Ben Davidson talks a lot about I've been hearing solar weather man yeah I can't confirm or deny but on Twitter solar weather man goes deep on this stuff that every like that's why it seems cyclical is because it has to do with Well, it is crazy to think that if there was a solar, because, you know, they say, like, they have these old civilizations, and because everything is digitized right now, if there was, say, a solar flare and everything just, you know, went to crap, it would only take a hundred years or two hundred years before just this would just all be kind of gone. | ||
| And, like, uranium, no electricity, everything would just be lost. | ||
| You can dig up uranium, and then how hard is it to make nuclear power out of uranium? | ||
| I don't know the enrichment process. | ||
| You put it in water. | ||
| Probably pretty hard. | ||
| The water boils, and then you have this pressure spin. | ||
| Well, you've got to do stuff to it though. | ||
| It can't just raw uranium. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think we're just going to kind of DIY uranium. | ||
| I think the crazier thing would be creating the gigantic copper coils. | ||
| copper with the bag that batteries and mass they create a lot of little ones | ||
| look up electric motors and what you need to create an electric motor | ||
| we're talking about a lot of the boys cast wise you know every | ||
| you know every 15 minutes it seems like there's like a new article being like | ||
| all the Emperor was actually trans or the hunters were actually women I yes I there's a lot that | ||
| we're just love in the idea of like what chance D win when you die | ||
| like in and a a million years they're gonna be having articles just | ||
| saying you're doing all the stuff | ||
| him was like a trans dog but I know they're gonna we have a we have a | ||
| portrait of Mr bogus They're gonna, like, find the house. | ||
| They're gonna find one little joke. | ||
| They're gonna be like, they worship cats. | ||
| If aliens found the internet, they'd be like, these people worship cats. | ||
| And dogs. | ||
| That's a toxoplasmosa, man. | ||
| By the way, Bucko's doing great. | ||
| I haven't seen him for a week, so it was shocking to see him after a week. | ||
| He ripped his back open. | ||
| Yeah, but it feels real good if you rub the sides of his... | ||
| So we had to give him a neckerchief because for some reason he started scratching and he rubbed it raw. | ||
| Maybe he was dehydrated. | ||
| Maybe he was cold and he was asking for a scarf. | ||
| Now he's happier. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think he's sick and something was causing him to itch. | ||
| His eyes are better. | ||
| I think he likes fashion and he likes the accessory. | ||
| Yeah, he's probably dehydrated. | ||
| But Seamus 1 is doing fairly well. | ||
| Oh, nice. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Do you have any video of him yet? | ||
| I mean, I haven't posted anything, but we do. | ||
| He's using the litter box. | ||
| So Seamus is... We got him in the garage. | ||
| He's using the litter box. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| And, you know... How's Seamus 2 taking it? | ||
| He's having a good time. | ||
| Yeah, Seamus 2's handling it well? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Seamus 2 is... Seamus 2 ran away as soon as you got Seamus 1. | |
| He's got some jealousy. | ||
| Well, no, he was gone before this, but, you know, yeah. | ||
| Seamus One is going in for his appointment in a week and a half. | ||
| We're gonna cut his balls off. | ||
| Snip the bits? | ||
| Snip the bits. | ||
| And he knows. | ||
| He stares at us when we go in there and he's like giving us his look. | ||
| Getting all his humping in while he can? | ||
| No, he's just like, he's in jail, man. | ||
| And he knows it's coming. | ||
| He's less than a year old. | ||
| He's a stray that was living in our garage. | ||
| And so we just trapped him, brought him to the vet, and we're gonna, you know, make him a friendly, happy cat. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Transin him. | ||
| Well, you know, we don't want him having little cat babies. | ||
| Yeah, I get it. | ||
| But he's not happy about it because he liked being outside and hunting the birds and all that. | ||
| Now he's gonna be a little, you know, unit cat and living in the house and getting fat. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Alright, let's read some more. | ||
| William Eubulus says, Disabled vet lost my job yesterday. | ||
| Car is broke down. | ||
| Will run out of money this month. | ||
| Need to see son hours away for holidays. | ||
| Give, send, go. | ||
| GBB35. | ||
| Well, good luck, sir. | ||
| Good luck, sir. | ||
| Alright, we'll grab another super chat. | ||
| Matt Murphy says Bud Light's strategy should be run the best three to four ads from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, and then one new ad of Travis Kelsey dancing to Shake It Off, then just have a VP marketing, say to trades, we just want to get back to who we are. | ||
| I'm listening. | ||
| Did you hear that there's like some lady who said that Kelsey and Taylor Swift's relationship is just a fake stunt to make a bunch of money or something? | ||
| I would imagine every opinion possible has been said about that situation by now. | ||
| I mean, it is crazy how he's just in all these ads all of a sudden that coincide exactly with the relationship. | ||
| I don't believe it. | ||
| Taylor Swift doesn't need to do that. | ||
| It doesn't help her any. | ||
| I can't imagine. | ||
| Maybe it helps the NFL. | ||
| But how much money do you have to offer Taylor Swift to fake relationships? | ||
| NFL has that money. | ||
| I really don't know. | ||
| Have you heard the thing about they think she's going to break up with Travis Kelce because she's a big Eagles fan? | ||
| So when they go to the Super Bowl and it's Chiefs vs. Eagles, she's going to break up with him so he's a terrible game and the Eagles are going to win? | ||
| That's this year's script. | ||
| Maybe the Eagles are paying her off. | ||
| And there's a mysterious $500 million wager. | ||
| For the other team, which is strange. | ||
| Now we're talking. | ||
| Guys, he went to Trader Joe's to get her ice cream when her private plane flew directly to Kansas City. | ||
| They're obviously in love. | ||
| You're all wrong again. | ||
| I'm imagining the NFL going to Taylor Swift's people and being like, how much money for you to be in a relationship with a football player? | ||
| And he's sitting in the corner like really quiet. | ||
| Yeah, she's gonna be like, what is she, a billionaire? | ||
| She is a billionaire. | ||
| She's a billionaire. | ||
| She's gonna be like, dude, there's nothing you can give me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't care. | |
| She gets a piece of a team. | ||
| He bought a nicer house to try and prove to her that he's worthy. | ||
| Guys, come on! | ||
| At a certain point, I wonder why, like... We got suckered into talking about it, though. | ||
| Just like she wanted. | ||
| Just like she wanted. | ||
| That's how they get you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was her doing the super chat. | |
| That's how they get you, dude. | ||
| Before you know it, you're like, I think he does love her as much as he says he does. | ||
| We're all crying. | ||
| You blink and you're in the convo. | ||
| Let's grab some more super chats. | ||
| Carly says, Ian, do you believe kids should never be told Santa's real? | ||
| If not, what age do you think they should be told the truth? | ||
| All kids will get picked on. | ||
| Yeah, I think they should be told Saint Nicholas was a real saint, and who he was and what he was, that Jesus Christ was real, that Santa Claus was kind of built by the writer that figured him out in the 1800s, that Coca-Cola made him into an icon, and that, like, so people celebrate it. | ||
| Like, as soon as they learn to comprehend the things you're saying around Christmas time, be like, this is really cool. | ||
| And then have fun with Christmas. | ||
| Definitely do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Start them with the truth early. | |
| First words, Santa's not real. | ||
| Look into my eyes. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| We just got this stupid YouTube super chat jump ahead when it happens. | ||
| What do we have here? | ||
| Paul Taskelos has made it 20 minutes into DeSantis v. Newsom debate. | ||
| My conclusion is, we may need to just make Trump the king of America because if these guys are the future of American politics, we're absolutely screwed. | ||
| Oh, so it's a dud? | ||
| It's- oh dude, like, there are some tweets. | ||
| Newsom said, the one thing that we have in common is neither of us will be the nominee. | ||
| And I'm like, that's exactly why I'm not- Newsom said that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's exactly why I'm turning it on. | ||
| Like, what is the point of this? | ||
| Dude, I think it really is, they're just laughing behind the scenes, being like, we destroyed it. | ||
| Yeah, DeSantis walking a plank with that debate. | ||
| He had a future. | ||
| DeSantis had a future. | ||
| He gave it away. | ||
| What is wrong with this guy? | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| I gotta be honest. | ||
| I'm glad they did it to him. | ||
| I'm glad they sank his campaign. | ||
| I'm glad the neocons tricked him into all of this stuff. | ||
| Because if he's this stupid, he should stay away from politics. | ||
| He should not be involved. | ||
| We need more capable people than this. | ||
| Vivek's better. | ||
|
unidentified

I agree. | |
| It's shocking that one of his campaign, who was it? | ||
| His national policy director. | ||
| Left? | ||
| Yeah, he just left for the Trump campaign. | ||
| That's wild. | ||
| Do you like Vivek? | ||
| Oh, of course! | ||
| Yeah, I like him a lot. | ||
| Vivek's fantastic. | ||
| Michael Beacon says the real St. | ||
| Nicholas was based and punched a dude in the face for denying the Trinity at the Council of Nicaea. | ||
| Teach kids about haymaker Santa. | ||
| They might like coal, but no one likes getting laid out. | ||

|
Ha ha! | |
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Where are we at? | ||
| I did used to wonder if, like, parents in Wyoming where, like, coal is a major industry, they change the narrative. | ||
| So Santa doesn't give you coal. | ||
| Like, he gives you coal and it's a good thing. | ||
| Like, this powers your family. | ||
| This is a great noble thing. | ||
| We'll be freezing this year. | ||
| They're like, selling the name of coal and all these, like, West Virginia and Wyoming are like, no, no, in our house, if you're bad, Santa gives you... If you're bad, you get coal. | ||
| And what if we get it if we're good? | ||
| Just coal, but more of it. | ||
| Jermaine Wilkes says, voice cast makes me laugh. | ||
| Timcast makes me think. | ||
| Media is in Elon takedown mode. | ||
| Is this good or bad? | ||
| Is the move back to sense set to be destroyed? | ||
| Set to be destroyed ones now? | ||
| I don't know what that means. | ||
| Normies do not care. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think it's neutral. | ||
| I don't think it's good or bad. | ||
| I think it is natural, the natural part of the process of the awakening, the, what do you call it? | ||
| The, uh, the great apocalypse. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I think it's, I mean, the thing about Elon Musk is there are so many people who are excited about him all the time, no matter what, that you have to have some things that you're like, I disagree with that, right? | ||
| Like, when he's on WeChat in China, seems like there's some sketchy stuff going on there. | ||
| But I love his stance on, like, everyone should have huge families. | ||
| Like, you shouldn't have just one person who can do no wrong. | ||
| You have to be able to be critical a little bit. | ||
| Don't cult worship that guy. | ||
| That's super important, man. | ||
| He's just a dude. | ||
| Well, if someone's agreeing with you always, it generally means that they're just listening to the pulse of what they should be saying, right? | ||
| Anyone that's an independent thinker, you're not going to agree with them on every single issue. | ||
| I just tweeted that out. | ||
| Actually, I blew my own mind with this tweet. | ||
| If you like posts because of who posted them and not because of the content of the post, you're in a cult. | ||
| Alright, Orlando Ortiz says, I refuse to tell my daughter Santa is real, only because I refuse to teach her I lie about anything. | ||
| She deserves a better reality, a real one. | ||
| The thing is, though, you could say Santa, the idea of Santa is real, and tell them what it is. | ||
| That'll help them navigate understanding. | ||
| I think you should just talk about it in the, like, be like, yeah, many cultures have this myth about Santa. | ||
| We are Swedish, so this is how we grew up learning about it, but in America they talk about it this way, like, kids are smart enough to be able to start analyzing the differences between things and either, like, either they'll go through a make-believe phase where they'll say like, oh yeah, Santa, I have my own narrative about it, or they'll be like, that's interesting, it seems like probably doesn't work. | ||
| With the internet, it's gotta be on its way out anyway, like, they can't, the jig is a bit up with the internet. | ||
| Yeah, some people were telling me they tell their kids that it's the myth, and then they still have fun with it and celebrate the myth. | ||
| I think that's what, like, I know that's what my dad's wife does with her kids. | ||
| She's like, it's a game. | ||
| Like, it's just a game that we play. | ||
| It's not real, but we can talk about it and we can have fun with it, but we don't treat it like it's fact. | ||
| You know what's really fun, is taking the tree out after Christmas, and setting it on fire. | ||
| Oh! | ||
| We have a fire pit. | ||
| And so we break, we cut it down, you put it in the pit, and we get a big fire going, and they go up. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So it's great. | |
| You get this really big fire, everyone sits around, and it's chilly outside, but you know, you sit down, you hang out with friends, and the tree is being recycled back into nature. | ||
| Smells good, I imagine. | ||
| Yeah, it's fantastic. | ||
| Oh, yeah, it's great. | ||
| It's pretty wild, the pine just... Yeah, it gets so dry, I imagine. | ||
| Yeah, it just goes... What a wildfire hazard. | ||
| A dry-ass pine tree in your living room with all these lights on it that are getting super hot. | ||
| That's ruining many a Christmas, Ian. | ||
| That's a lot of Christmas disasters. | ||
| LED lights, man. | ||
| Miraculous. | ||
| Alright, Ruriko13 says, Ian, the anime called Dr. Stone already has the answers. | ||
| You should watch it. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Uh, basically, a bunch of people get turned to stone, and then this dude somehow turns not to stone, and then he's in a prehistoric, like, civilization's collapsed and everyone's tribal again, but he's a super genius, and so he's, like, building future technology from the ground up. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And there's more to it than that, but, you know, basically, that's about it. | ||
|

|
Man, the Japanese got him under wraps. | |
| Yeah, there's a lot of good shows. | ||
| It's funny because the American comic book industry and films now are like struggling and failing. | ||
| And people are talking about how manga and anime has been taking off because their stories are still based on the hero's journey, whereas American stories are becoming weird, woke narratives of like, you know, steal someone's clothes or something like that. | ||
| That's what she did in Captain Marvel. | ||
| She stole that guy's clothes. | ||
| She was a bully, right? | ||
| Yeah, I don't know if I care about that narrative arc. | ||
| You're a bad person. | ||
| The Marvels was one of the most... I went solo on tour, and to be honest, I kind of was hoping it wasn't going to be as bad as people said it was, because I would have liked to take the alternative position and be the guy that... I would have liked to be the guy that was like, honestly, it wasn't that bad, but it was really bad. | ||
| And you are right. | ||
| This was a new type of story that they invented. | ||
| They were like, this is a new type of story that's never been done before. | ||
| It's like followed none of the normal things of what like story structure of thousands of years have told you. | ||
| Yeah, and like I can respect trying new things to a certain degree, you know. | ||
| But they were already trying new things without the story being kind of different as well. | ||
| Right, but like the general idea is your story should have at least like a who's the character, what's their conflict, how do they overcome it. | ||
| But a lot of these new stories that Disney is doing are just like nothing like that. | ||
| Look how hard the badass can punch the wall. | ||
| Look how hard they hit it. | ||
| They're all following the Steven Seagal narrative where it's like he was great already and then he just goes and proves it and then everyone just realizes he was even greater than they thought they were. | ||
| Have you seen Captain Marvel? | ||
| No, no, I saw the marvels. | ||
| The first one is that she has this power within her that's being suppressed by a man, and he keeps- Don't all women- No, no, no, hold on, hold on. | ||
| Stop laughing, this is true. | ||
| Jude Law keeps telling her to control her emotions because she gets mad, and they put a device- The trick was to not control her emotions? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yes, they put a device on her that holds her power back, and then in the end, she realized she was always powerful, and she stops listening to the man, embraces her emotions, breaks the device, and fires an energy blast at him. | ||
| Yeah, for real. | ||
| Terrible advice for women. | ||
| You should see it! | ||
| You'll hate it, but you'll laugh. | ||
| The secret powers are in your tears. | ||
