I didn't believe it was real. You may have seen the segment I did on this. I did not believe it was real. The, uh, what is it? The NBA did... I can't even do this. I can't. This is so difficult for me. You got this. We got Ryan Long here, okay? Just happy to be the debut comedian on the Timcast. This is to all my fans out there watching right now. Thank you for supporting me as the first comedian. Absolutely, absolutely. So I'm glad you're here because this is what I'm struggling with.

There's an article from Yahoo. The big news right now is the NBA is boycotting a bunch of games because they're traumatized from watching this video of this guy who got shot by the cops and stuff. So I can understand people unhappy with it. How it affects the NBA. They're apparently saying, like, they're not in the right frame of mind to be able to play games right now.

And so now we got Major League Baseball. Like, they're canceling their games too because people are upset and they're traumatized over this. But the craziest thing about this article is that the whole thing reads like it's satire. For one, that these people are traumatized over this online. Like, look, I get people are mad, but whoa, come on, man. And then that they would buy Teslas to try and hide from the police because they don't get pulled over. The whole thing just reads like it's fake news. But this is real. It's real. The NBA's ratings

are down. They're boycotting and everyone's laughing at them. So anyway, considering the news was particularly absurd today i thought it'd be great to have ryan long on because you're a comedian right yeah dude i i love the fact that they go oh you know a lot of these guys they try to get teslas so people will think they're they're white right right i like the idea of the black guys are like you know we just wanted the cops to think we're white, so I've shortened my penis. We're doing all sorts of things to let people know. We have Blink-182 blasting in our Teslas.

Blink-182? Yeah, yeah. Is that like Nickelback? I don't know. What's a very white person kind of band? Hello, officer. I never made it as a wise man. The cop walks up to the

tesla and he's blasting nickelback and the cop goes he stops halfway and goes i made a mistake and he turns around oh i'm so sorry i did not so i did not hear 311 transistor cranking out i it's on it's it's it's it's funny you're making some jokes it's literally in the article we're gonna read it it's ridiculous and we're gonna talk about. It's literally in the article. We're going to read it. It's ridiculous. And we're going to talk about what's going on. And we've got some other news. But for the most part, we're just going to hang out with Ryan.

I figured, so for those that aren't familiar, you did a bunch of, I mean, you got a bunch of comedy sketches and they're all hilarious. Thank you. So for those that are,

you probably have seen it because it's probably got like, what, the 20 million views combined. Yeah, yeah. I think. Woke and racist. That one, yeah. You know know what it's hard to tell as you know because everyone like rips your content and puts it do you get the one yesterday i did this stock market one and it was

like number one on reddit but instead of someone putting the video up they just ripped it and put it up themselves yeah that's how it works man scumbags out so so anyway no respect for everybody that's that's tuning in uh make sure you hit the like button, subscribe. We're live every Monday through Friday at 8 p.m. But, you know, it's been crazy. I wake up this morning and I see some of the most brutal and gruesome videos I've ever seen. Or at least not ever, but like I've seen in these riots. So some of the stuff that we were briefly talking about before we started the show, I'm just like, man, this stuff in Kenosha.

And you made a bunch of, you, you made a couple, I can't remember exactly what you said, but they were really funny and offensive pertaining to just like riots and stuff. But I'm like, no,

no, it's a good thing. It's a good thing. Cause, cause we're going to talk about dark stuff, I guess. Tim was saying the N word off. Oh my gosh.

No, that's not true. I said, listen, that's going to be that kind of show. But, uh, but, but I think, I think it was funny. Just like the, the, the reference you made about, I don, listen, that's going to be that kind of show. But but but I think I think it was funny.

Just like the reference you made about, I don't know, the dick joke with NBA players. It's just like, all right, good. Let's let's let's have a laugh because I'm sure a lot of people are not feeling it right now with it. That's crazy. Everything's been. Listen, if you're one of these people who's been traumatized from watching this video and you stand in solidarity with NBA players, we got Ryan Logg.

It's gonna make you laugh. So you should feel a lot better. I mean, you did say that it's all these black guys are trying to look white. I go, well, that seems like the opposite of my high school. Yeah.

Well, this article, I've got halfway through it from Yahoo sports. And I started laughing. I'm like, I'm being, I'm being, I mean,

some, that's the thing. Some people see stuff like this and they're like, you're not supposed to laugh. Like I have friends that, you know, people we know have died. And then the comedian goes on that night and the idea is like, you know, my buddy died, which sucks because he owes me money. And, you know, that's like, which is like a standard, but it depends on how you kind of interface with the world.

If you think you're supposed to laugh at stuff or not laugh at stuff. I went to the riots in New York a few times. and yeah you're like this is crazy and there's obviously problems but also there was some hilarious stuff happening really well i saw this like hood dude and he broke the store window i've talked about this my podcast but he broke the store window and then he came out with a pair of shoes and he yells he goes these kicks is for floyd wow but have you seen the videos of people just like running in and just running out and they're all laughing and yelling yeah they're like yeah come up it's like i made a video it's not really it's not really for floyd no well i mean you know there dude was

all the things there was a bunch of white kids that were just partying there was a bunch of black kids that had like dmx playing and they're just having fun like and then there's people that are taking advantage of it there was all the different things there's some And then there's people that are taking advantage of it. There was all the different things. There's some people. Dude, there was one guy. He was this Latino guy, right? And he kind of was there. And he's like, stop. This is not what the movement's about.

We need to stop breaking windows. And then this black dude goes, yo, shut up. And then threw an egg at him. And this guy just got egged. And you see it go down. And the guy's just like, all right. I guess I tried. I was in Brazil during these major protests back in, I think it was 2013. And some dude was walking around selling beer.

He knows what's up. And people were buying it. And the guy I was with, he was like, that's capitalism right there. This guy, he gets it. He sees an opportunity. So he brought a cooler out and he was like, you know, cerveza and all that stuff. I saw people do that with the shirts. So people were breaking into stores, and they stole stuff, right?

And then they would come out and immediately start selling it. Like, everyone's like, I got a 32 Ralph Lauren. Who needs a 32? And someone's like, you got a 34? And they're already hawking it on the streets. It's like he's standing outside the store. Like, he shatters the window, and he grabs it, and he goes, I got a shirt right here.

Dude, there's so many guys in New York that just sell junk all day long. You go to their table and they're just selling whatever, like a cup of clothespins or whatever. Nothing. And then people come around, they're stealing stuff. They're like, oh, crap, we're stealing stuff now? I'm all good. Let's do it. There's a crazy video where some dude goes in and steals a computer and walks out.

And then two guys steal the computer from him. Yeah. And then they run away. I'm just like, man. Circle of life. That's what like man circle of life that's yeah yeah yeah you got got the bigger the bigger thieves start you know the computer goes all the way up and eventually lands in some like corporate office where they really know how to steal i mean a lot of times this is i remember with g20 there in canada when i was in toronto the g20 happened and everyone was kind of it was like yo it's a party everyone's like yo you just go break windows and do whatever

you want and everyone you know it's the purge tonight, essentially. Right. And then, so everyone does that. And then over the next five years, it was like, yo, remember like Jason? Yeah. He's going to jail for like a year for that. So basically over the next year, everyone would start getting their trial dates and stuff like that.

So, I mean, there's going to be a whole team of whatever police that for the next three years, their whole job is like tracking down these people. it's already happening man yeah we'll see what happens but i think a lot of these people are gonna be like that was fun and then you're like yeah not so fun when you're in jail now some of these people are going to prison for a long time 30 years malta cocktails salt on an officer they think they're playing games i mean a couple people died last night they they go out they start acting tough acting a fool and now they they think it's the game they think it's the purge i think it's fun yeah i mean it was so like they're right oh yeah well now well yeah sure sure but you you know you gotta pay yeah nothing ain't no such thing as a free lunch

right yeah but it does seem like it at the time it was like oh we're all getting free sweatpants that was worth it now you're gonna get free orange free orange sweatpants. Here, let's do this. So first, I'll show you the more serious news, and then we'll cry a little bit about how insane this whole story is. Fox News says NBA calls off playoff games after Milwaukee Bucks boycott game over shooting of Jacob Blake. The players forced the league's hand after protesting the Sunday shooting by Kenosha police

of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old black man. So that's the gist of it, but it gets crazier. Milwaukee Brewers join Bucks in protest, sit out game versus Reds after Jacob Blake shooting. I got a theory about this. Have you seen any of these games they've been doing? The basketball games? Recently because of COVID. Yeah, you think the games have been sucking so they're like yeah like the ratings have been down 40 down uh for uh so so actually i have right here check this out outkick nba playoff ratings on esp are down 40 ratings minus and across the board are down so imagine this right you're used to playing major league sports you got all these fans oh yeah you know they're all yelling you're all excited and you you get the three-pointer you swing your home run everyone Everyone's cheering.

Now it's a bunch of cardboard cutouts. Yeah, a janitor sweeping as you've dunked on your opponent. And you're creeped out. I mean, I would be creeped out. I couldn't imagine. I used to, you know, skate in contests a long time ago. I couldn't imagine. Figure skate. Yeah, figure skating for sure.

Yeah, skateboarding. But there's people all over. And it really hypes you up when you're like, if I know I get this, people, like, they cheer for you. They cheer you on. It gives you that energy. I couldn't imagine, like, I skate by myself sometimes. A lot of the time, you're just skating for yourself.

But when you're going out for a contest, and you're pushing your limits, and there's no one there, and it's just, like, you just cough off to the side. The janitor, he's sweeping. And they expect you to perform to your greatest without support of, you know, the crowd's cheering for you. Yeah, it's like if you see – I don't know if you've seen wrestling without the audiences, but it is a sad sight. The guy's like, oh, I can't hear you. It's just a cardboard cutout creaking in the wind. There's a janitor.

Yeah, dude. I was going to make a really offensive joke. I won't do it. So I wonder if the reason why they're actually boycotting is because they're all like, dude, we need an out. Yeah. They're playing these games in these rooms where there's just like – I was watching – I think it was WNBA. They walked out on the national anthem, and they're not even in a court. They're not even in like an arena.

They're in like a high school gym. Well, the fans of the WNBA have been boycotting by not showing up for ages. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they didn't have to worry about the cardboard cutouts for that one. They just were like, you know,

no one's going to be here anyway. Yeah. It's funny. Holy crap. The attendance is wild. Biggest attendance in history. The first time the seats have been filled.

I remember when the WNBA boycott thing happened. They walk out on the national anthem. And I immediately pulled up the clip from Family Guy. Seth MacFarlane is the one who made the joke, not me. Where he's like, I don't know if you've ever seen the joke, but it's really offensive. I mean, by today's standards, for sure. Not so much back then.

But he's like, so-and-so is going to make the shot. She scores two points. And that's why she commands $7,000 a year. And they're like, but is the money worth being that unattractive? I don't know. That's for the fan to decide. There's one guy in the stands cheering. That's good.

That's five jokes in a row. I know. That was family guy, man. Yeah, the NBA has been fighting it by not dunking. For real. Seriously. They can't dunk. So anyway, so this family guy, man. Yeah, the NBA has been fighting it by not dunking. For real. Seriously. They can't dunk. So anyway, so this is it, right?

Only doing layups and protest. Right. So they, you know, the Brewers are boycotting, NBA is boycotting. Like I said, I think maybe it's because they're just. I would love for this to catch on and people do their normal jobs. Like, you know, just a bunch of guys at McDonald's being like, you know what? The fry cooks are staying home today. You're like, you know, it's against racism. And McDonald's being like, you know what? The fry cooks are staying home today. You're like,

you know, it's against racism and you're like, which one died? You're like, I don't know, one of them. That's what they're doing.

They've been calling for a general strike. But this is the funny thing. Just a general strike of everyone in the world? Yeah. So it's a very common thing. They try to get done.

Like a pajama day, sort of. Yeah. Like an extended siesta. Nap time. Sounds great. Like people in the Mediterranean get it. But a general strike among the left is when everyone just stops working,

but they don't realize they actually don't have the support of – Imagine just women did it, and they're like, women are just going to stop working, and everything just went back to normal. Oh, gosh. Everything improved. Efficiency went up. Women are like, as a strike, we're just going to stay home. And you're like

no problem no one come on hey if you don't mind making dinner today we're gonna get banned for hate speech the stream's gonna get shut down i'm not saying that women shouldn't work i'm just saying if they care about racism they might want to consider that option that's a great option the funny thing about that is that people aren't working man like businesses are shut down they're permanent close if you do have a job this probably isn't That sounds like a great option. The funny thing about that is people aren't working, man. Like, businesses are shut down. They're permanently closed. If you do have a job, this probably isn't the time to, you know, be making crazy. I think the way they see it is now is the chance to finish off the beast, you know?

Everybody's laid off. So there's only a few people working, you know, at McDonald's and, you know, the grocery store and stuff. So get them to go on strike and there's nothing left. Maybe that's the general political idea to it dude these like all that stuff is like everyone's not like a 20 year old activist like just telling some normal guys like 50 years old he's got a family you're like yo you're gonna you're gonna like let god not go to work anymore for the next week and you're like why you're like oh we got a whole thing going on the university he's like what are you talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah. My gender studies teacher said it would be a good idea.

And he's like, I got to pay my kids tuition. I don't know. Yeah. But that really is it. So check this out. So we know all this is going on. But now we got to get to the best part. Yahoo Sports.

Players Association in active talks with players about logistics of potentially boycotting games. So this happened earlier this morning. I'm reading this article. I started laughing. There's no way this is real. Check this out. They say an assembly organized by players who are emotionally traumatized by the latest police involved shooting of an African-American that was captured on video was held Tuesday night at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, sources said. And there were multiple conversations about what the actions could be taken throughout the day. So the first thing that happens is I'm talking to my friends and I'm like, do you hear about

these NBA players who are traumatized? And they're like, I can't talk. I'm too emotionally traumatized. Yeah, they're crying. I called them up and they were like, I can't process this. I was actually emotionally traumatized because I watched a WNBA game. Ryan came in and when he first came here, I mentioned what happened, and he broke down.

I just said, hold me. Hold me. Oh, no. No, but in all seriousness. The only thing that will help, if I can watch you do some sick knollies at a skate park in the backyard. Bring the sports back.

If you could shred some gnar for me, Tim, it would really make me feel better. And that's when I started crying because I'm traumatized. Yeah. No, no. So I did. I sent this to my friend and they didn't believe it. Like, I didn't believe it either.

And I sent a screenshot of where it said the players who are emotionally traumatized. And they're like, this is like an onion, right? Yeah. No, it's not the onion. Check this out. It gets even better. My favorite part. I have no idea what they were thinking when they wrote

this this is okay i gotta i gotta give everybody a warning yeah this is quite literally on yahoo sports's website this is real athletes aren't immune to being racially profiled sources said as a tactic to avoid being pulled over a few players have purchased teslas believing that police wouldn't suspect a black man to be operating that vehicle. Now, the reason why the first the first thing I saw there was it sounds like like some rich dude. It's like, oh, I they're like, you bought a Tesla. It's kind of expensive, don't you think? Shouldn't you buy like a normal car?

Well, it's because the police wouldn't profile me in it. Yeah, yeah. So, like, their accountant is like, I don't know how you're justifying this $50,000 car. Black Lives Matter? Yeah, yeah, yeah. How can we write this off? Call it a security expense.

Also, like, LeBron James, like, a Tesla's got to be a drop in the pan for these people. He's like, I needed a fancy car. It's like Tesla's are like, what, like a Tesla has got to be a drop in the pan for these people. He's like, I needed a fancy car. It's like Tesla. They're like, what? Like a 50 grand? It's like you get a Ferrari if you want, LeBron James. He's like, because of racism, I had to drop this insane amount of money on a car.

I'm like, you can buy a fleet of Teslas. What's kind of crazy about it, though, is I think that straight up is racist. The fact that this idea exists that a cop is going to not pull over a Tesla because like this is the world they live in. And it kind of freaks me out. They really think the cops are like in their cars going like, let's find the minorities. And then like they see a car drive by like, go after them. It doesn't matter what your car is. In fact, a Tesla is more likely to get pulled over.

I imagine more or less likely to get pulled over than a Honda Civic with souped up rims and just lowered black lights. Smoke coming out the windows. Nine guys in the backseat. Maybe. Dude, flashy cars get pulled over more. You want to get a gray Civic and then you don't get pulled over. Yeah, get a Hondaonda accord if you want

but it's also it's also crazy this idea that these guys think the cops can't look through windows yeah like you sit in a tesla and all of a sudden the cops are like i can't see what's oh but i think it's nuts that they they they view this world that way dude the fact that lebron james said that he's he's like listen i get the sentiment but for lebron james personally to be like yo i'm afraid for my life personally. It's like, you're not though. Like LeBron James comes out of his house and he's like,

yeah, that great basketball game. Now I have to walk to my car and fear for my life. And you're like, yeah, I think you're going to be fine. You're a seven foot tall, like the cops pull him over and they wouldn't say like,

yeah, you're a black guy that's where you're pulled over. They go, yo, are you LeBron James? Yeah, I know, seriously. They know who you are. Yeah, especially like he's probably got a a black guy. That's where you pulled over. They go, yo, are you LeBron James? Yeah, I know. Seriously. They know who you are. Yeah. Especially like he's probably got a driver. Yeah.

He's probably got a driver. He's probably, I'm sure he drives himself. He gets pulled over in his very fancy car and I'm sure it's fine. One of the craziest things about this, like this whole narrative they've had, there was a viral commercial where it was like the talk. This is what freaks me out because I grew up on the south side of chicago and i talked to my progressive friends and they really believe that parents shouldn't tell their kids how to act around police and even firefighters or emts like it's not their job to educate their kids but what world do they live in no it's it's serious like i i see these stories

it's no wonder you get these super entitled college students who – have you seen that video in New York during the riots where this woman is screaming at the cops in their face and they keep saying, move, get back. And she goes, R-effing what? And then the cop goes, she's coming, and he grabs her. And she goes, no, no. And she starts calling to her friends.

That's the classic move. Because she's never been told, like, here's how you appropriately deal in, like, these circumstances. I mean, listen, I was, like, a troublemaker growing up. And I've had run-ins with the cops. And I'm not, like, some pro-cop guy. Right. But also, like, I've had times where a cop beat me up. I've, you know, been tons of nights in the drunk tank and all that stuff.

But I never really, like, it still sucked. And I, you know, I was i was like cops are kind of losers but i didn't come out of it being like i was innocent completely and i'm not saying everyone else isn't but like most of the times that i did it i like looked back and i was like yeah i was a little out of hand that night yeah yeah but you know i i grew up and everybody i know in my neighborhood was told like hey man when you get pulled over you got to do you got to turn that you turn you turn the engine off, take the keys out, put them on the dash, put your wallet on the dash, turn the radio down, turn the dome light on, put your hands on the wheel, and wait for the officer to walk up. And then when he asks for your ID, it's right there in front of you. And you do that just to make sure everybody feels safe and secure.

It's like these progressives act like – I was told put on F the Police full volume. Full blast. Really? And then stare at him without blinking and hold your and hold your hand in your shirt as he walks up and give him a look no don't do that don't do anything like that i've had some wild caught but like you know it's this the problem is it's with all this stuff is they shove it down your face so much and then the times

when they when they're actually like oh the cops are wrong there it's hard to defend because you just it's like when they're like everyone's racist everyone's racist then you there actually is one you're like i'm just done hearing about people being racist yeah but i've had this is the one that always makes me laugh there was when i'm my old house in toronto these cops busted into our house in the middle of the night this at like 3 a.m they knocked down the door and came in they had guns it was like five or six of them came in with guns bust down the door they started flipping our mattresses they go everyone cuffed up. And there was girls there too.

So they put the girls. They're all crying. They're like 20-year-old girls. Like, why are we doing this? Who are you people? So anyways, they bring us out on the thing. Make us sit there. It's like winter.

And then eventually, when this all is said and done, they're like, who's so-and-so? And we're like, none of us. And then they were like, is this not 5 Ab Street? And they're like, oh, they were at the wrong house damn this is for real and then nothing happens they turned our house upside down then they just go all right well good you better not have any guns they just sort of move on the next house you're like you know it's not like cops are always in the right but no i and i think i think i mean so so you're talking about canada though right yeah i mean cops are probably worse here than Canada, don't you think?

But that story was in Toronto? Yeah, yeah. I mean, the 6 is the hood. I mean, you wouldn't last a day there. It's a real tough place. Oh, right. No, you grew up in Chicago. I had a place near what used to be called Comiskey Park.

Now it's a U.S. cellular field in Chicago. It's where the White Sox play. And one day, me and my friends were playing GTA. And the cops just kick our door in. And they come up with their guns out. And they're screaming. It's been so long. But they were like, where's Jimmy? Or something like that.

And the three of us are just like, who? And he's like, where's Jimmy? It's like me and two of my friends. No one's name is Jimmy. And then they walk to the house looking around. And we were like, we moved in two months ago. And they were like, oh. And they leave.

Oh, my God. Like, that should be pretty high on the checklist before you break a door down is make sure we got the right one. Well, they did. It was the right address. Oh, it was the right address. But whoever they were looking for didn't live there anymore. And so these cops, no warrant, nothing. I guess they were looking for some guy.

Chicago's got cop problems, man. They were looking for LeBron James. That's probably what they were doing. They saw Tesla out front, and they knew. Yeah, imagine LeBron James had a really good point because the cops are legitimately like, yo, wouldn't it be funny to pull LeBron over once a week? And then he's like, I'm telling you, these cops are after me.

And they're like, oh, LeBron James, the cops are here to get you. He's like, I swear. It's a conspiracy. And then one of his managers is talking to somebody, and he's like, I'm telling you, there's cops. And then the manager's like, he's just, you know, he's like i swear it's and then like uh there's there's a you know one of his manager is talking to somebody and he's like i'm telling you there's cops and then the manager's like he's just you know he's yeah he's not anywhere i mean i mean you're five oh lebron but you you know what's funny uh you're making a joke but that's exactly what it sounds like they're saying yeah it's not that far off yeah man so i wonder i wonder if this is offensive enough that youtube's gonna be like let's turn this one off you know this video yeah yeah yeah really this is youtube is is nuts man

the censorship is getting crazy yeah they were they were hard on i told you i did this stock market video yeah but you know you know it's like you never know what they're gonna get you for you're always like oh this one's a little crazy and then nothing and then they get you for something you're like what that's not doing i i have i have videos where it's like i was talking about joe biden yeah joe biden gets accused by these women of you know being a little touchy feely with them and then it's like this big scandal and i'm like joe biden did this he did that and they're like all good yeah and then i do a video about like a tv show and they're like whoa whoa. You can't talk about sex and stuff like that. And then it's the craziest thing to me. I do a segment and it's like they have this thing called self-certification on YouTube where you choose does this appear in your video.

Yeah, I do that too. Yeah, and so I'll be like it's serious topical analysis. There's nothing too crazy. I don't show graphic image or anything like that. And I have no idea, no idea why. Some videos are good. Some are bad. And I have no idea, no idea why some videos are good, some are bad. And so I'm constantly in talks with Google and I'm like, OK, let me get this straight. Like this video right here is good. And there's it's a story where I'm talking about

a guy who took a bullet in the chest and then dropped dead. Another guy who got a bullet to the head. That's OK. And we're showing the guy with the gun, just not any graphic imagery. Yes. OK, now this one I talked about Kamala Harris running with Joe Biden and you flagged that as hate speech. That one's offensive. That one's got to go. And there were, well, yeah. And then the video where you're yelling the N word for two hours straight.

But you know, but the crazy thing is G2G. You actually can say and use slurs on YouTube so long as it's not directed at. Yeah, I guess so. But they, they will throttle you. They'll demonetize you. They just... They don't love it. They won't ban you for doing it?

They're like, yo, it's chill, but like... Yeah, yeah. You know, we don't love it. We totally get it, man. You know, it's cool. Like, do your thing, but just, you know,

like, we're not gonna tell the neighbors about it. But yeah, yeah, so... You've got the woke racist video. Yeah. The two guys wearing shirts. One guy's woke, one guy's... They believe the exact same things.

Yeah. And that one, you didn't have any problems, one guy's, they believe the exact same things. Yeah. And that one, you didn't have any problems with? No, that didn't get censored everywhere. But I've had lots of stuff censored over the years. But I just thought it was funny

that I did the stock market. Like basically the premise was like the stock market's kind of overvalued. It was like not even anything crazy. It got censored everywhere. That's so weird. Dude, like TikTok took it down twice.

What? Then it got like demonetized and then it got um like the the thing on twitter that says you know it has shocking content or wow and so so wait wait explain what the video is like what's the premise of this of the sketch basically it's the economy and the stock market and the economy is like a bro partying like oh yeah this is never gonna end and the economy is like, we're very sick. Yeah. Like maybe you're sick.

Like success is just a state of mind. He's looking at Gary V's. Maybe it's a Siamese. Is that actually offensive? I didn't even say Siamese. I said conjoined. Conjoined. Conjoined.

Yeah. Because I know that's a big problem. Yeah. What is it? Why do we call it Siamese? It was because there was like two famous people who are Siamese, right? I think so. So I think it was because it was like a circus act. It was a Siamese. Yeah, it was kind of terrible. And so the guy who started the circus tweeted something bad in

1842. That makes sense. He chiseled something into a tablet that is now considered racist. I don't think that Siam doesn't exist. It's Burma. Maybe it's that, but it's hard. Like your factual and accurate seats. You used the name of a country that's no longer in existence. I think it's hilarious that you made a video. It makes the conspiracy theory alarm bells start going crazy.

Yeah, there's definitely a lot of conspiracy theory alarm bells that kind of go off on all that stuff. But the funny thing that – I think I was kind of saying this to you before but the funny thing about satire is how these places decide what uh they can put on and what they don't is they transcribe correct me if i'm wrong because you probably know more than this yeah me but they they transcribe what's happened in the video on youtube and yeah right partly yeah yeah into a text and then they flag certain phrases and they can actually do right they can actually visualize the text so like if you do a thumbnail that says i don't know like a racial slur it can break the image down and detect the text in the image right and but also the words you say it's

there's actually i think it was you can't just do the white power sign willy-nilly anymore oh yeah they'll find out it'll translate the text. I think it was Keemstar. He said a word that I'm going to be very careful and enunciate very, very carefully. It starts with E, then there's a hyphen, and the word girl. And the reason why I separated that in that way is because YouTube recognizes that word as basically one of the N words really e dash girl say it fast and the translator said a word you can't say very and he got demonetized yeah so a lot of people don't realize sometimes the demonetization is because the computer doesn't differentiate between similar sounding words you know like if i was thinking about this a while ago because i was uh

i can't remember i was at i was at a french restaurant or something and i was thinking about the similarities bragging oh yes that's right we had escargot no it was no it was literally like some new york you know french themed restaurant yeah and i started here is poutine yes poutine that's that's that's canada get out of here uh no but i was thinking about how like if you spoke very quickly you could you you're priming yourself to someone else like to someone doesn't speak english in a very weird way like if you said mr and my sister like right a person doesn't speak english might not realize mr is a dude and my sister they might hear the same thing yeah like my ex i was saying i think we should break up and she

heard i'm gonna stay here for another two years exactly these linguistic problems and you speak quick but youtube mangles up what you say because we talk fast and then all of a sudden you're so maybe maybe what happens is you're talking about the stock market and like have you looked at the tax it's all like a bunch of i said is this, is this, you know, is real? And they were like, oh, stock market and Israel? Okay, we know what's going on here. Loud and clear. Get them out of here. I've been willing to bet.

I'm talking about the Federal Reserve and I accidentally say Israel. You're going to get. Look, look, look, look. I'm willing to bet a lot of conspiracy theorists are going like, oh. Yeah. You talk about the Fed. You talk about the stock market they shut you down but so you know you know what's funny is uh it has come up people talk about censorship of conservatives

you know a lot on social media and and it's real but it's it's not so much that uh it's conservatives it's anti-establishment orthodoxy so i would agree conservatives for the most part of the ones especially trump supporters so they see the most of it but there are leftists like anti-war anti-establishment who do get censorship sometimes but for the most part like the establishment orthodoxy of the left is typically okay and that was another thing you were bringing up earlier i thought was really fascinating that uh you mentioned youtube can't detect satire yeah so that's what i was going to say. So that's one of the reasons why people will do videos being like,

oh, I'm like a Q guy, right? And then you say all this stuff. You're like, oh, Trump's doing this, and he's the pedophile rings, and hydroxychloroquine, and whatever. I don't know. I'm sure people on the internet are like, that's not what they think. I don't know. But if you say like, oh, I'm going to make fun of the far right or something, and you say all their talking points then youtube goes like you're not allowed to say that stuff take it down but if i come on

and i'm kind of like no there's 75 genders and whatever right they take that phrase and they're like 75 genders we see no problem with that good to go yeah because you're making fun of it but they can't tell the sarcasm so they're you've making so so i you were telling me that earlier and i was like that's really you just have to say everything sarcastically and wink but right right right so women are equal to men and again and and youtube's going to translate that and the computer is going to see it as a literal statement yeah they're going to say this guy's bang on dude let's throw this throw this mf in the algorithm boom truth bombs on this channel you you have you seen uh what happened at this uh bookstore this is hilarious do you know uh

titania mcgrath yes so so they did a display of all of these woke books and one of the books they put on the pedestal was woke by titanium come on andrew doyle's you know satire project and so you have like you know white fragility and like you know white whatever and then there's woke and it just it they didn't it's this that's indistinguishable it's hard for me to get out it's just it's indistinguishable he constantly does articles where they you know basically prove his article dude i've had a few of those where like i made jokes and stuff and then the next day you're like yeah no that's that's what they're doing for real dude how many how many times has like the babylon b or the onion come true now dude it's it's like they're predicting the future at this point i'm gonna need them to stop writing some of these articles it's nonsense some of it's getting

like creepy predictable but man there was uh one thing that always made me laugh just because and i also bring it up because you you worked at vice but because i i kind of hit them hard and but i did an article there's this girl that got fired from vice right and she was like really mad like they're getting rid of i'm the only person speaking for trans people but like the answer is like no one's reading these articles because right garbage and it was all like you know why men are cutting off their penises in solidarity when they're not even sure that what she was really writing dead serious so basically i i used half of the vice articles and half ones i made made up and no no one could tell the difference

like you know why animals are actually trans and there's all this kind of stuff right but when i was uh i kind of go hard on them too because i remember when i was this is when i was in canada i did they kind of came to canada they're like, oh, we're going to spend – they made this big venture deal and kind of said we were going to spend money and then didn't really. But I was in a meeting with the guy and he said for me verbatim – I was talking about like the show about some guys in bands and stuff like that. And he's like, we're trying to do stuff with things like refugees, like stuff that's hot right now. Whoa. Dude, the guy at Vice looked me in the eyes and said we want to do refugees because they're hot right now for like yeah for what like entertainment content yeah like we want are we want articles and shows about refugees because that's what's up right now and i'm never forget

that i'm i've got similar stories man i worked for uh one company where i was i was uh talking to one of the higher-ups they were really confused about what the direction of the company because when the editor-in-chief was asked by like their salespeople about what the direction of the company because when the editor-in-chief was asked by like their sales people what's the mission of our media outlet he goes gender and i'm not i'm not it's not an exaggeration i am not making a joke like i'm a serious guy okay and they were like huh and he goes that's our whole thing for next year and they were like okay okay then he said oh what is it good for i i'm like could you imagine dude like vice walking up to you and being like we're really interested in like

refugees for entertainment like yeah what and you're like what about him it's like you got any jokes yeah well i was saying that i was like because it was a show about bands and stuff and i'm like what am i gonna do the refugees with our new hit song uh staying alive oh my god dude I approve dude dude it's wild yeah but there's also this funny thing in entertainment that one comedy especially like I'm there's this weird thing where some people think that if you're you know when some people have the idea that you're certain groups you're not supposed to make jokes about you know what i mean yeah it's kind of like but you go imagine you were in a group of friends where it's like you can talk about him but like don't talk about you know don't make jokes about james or whatever and james is like yo dude that's and then i'm not really in

the group right if we can't talk you know and i've always said that when you do stand-up you actually look at people that make fun of everyone everyone kind of leaves like a pressure release and they feel better it's obviously if there's like a guy in a wheelchair and you rail on him nonstop, but if you just treat him like everyone else, people actually like that way better. But when you kind of set those tones, it puts in a weird situation,

especially, this is why there's all these conflicting agendas because they go, diversity is really good and we need like diversity in sketches, right? But a lot of sketch comedy,

you're making fun of the thing, right? So they're like, you need women and trans people in sketches. Also, you can't make fun of them. you go so what like my comedy sketches just have to have like you know indian trans people that are the heroes and like that's not really and so there's no joke well you should go what am i like i'm fine with putting so i always say it's funny when they ever go like there needs to be more diversity in common you're like loud and clear

lots of black guys yeah you did black comics kick you know they're very funny right have you ever seen like an actual woke comedy set a woke comedy set that's majority of comedy right now really you think so there's no well have you if turn on netflix i mean for sure right right right but i mean like i mean you've got i don't know amy schumer what would that qualify i mean amy schumerumer kind of, she's more like Hollywood woke where you get really famous and then you kind of go, oh, that offensive stuff I was doing before was a character. Right. But actually I'm part of the good guys.

Yeah. That's more like the, like, let me keep my famous guy spot. You're kind of like, how do I stay famous? Okay. Who do we like now? Okay. Who's bad? What do I have to say?

Give me the list. I'll just, you know, run down. That's what that feels like. No, but there's, the funny part is if you go like in Brooklyn or whatever, there's like a whole genre of comedy where they're coming out and they'll be like, you know, my dad doesn't even think that gender exists. And Trump's so orange. You know, whatever, right? Yeah, they're using all the buzzwords, right? Like whether gender and non-binary and all this stuff. But you go to...

The problem is you go outside of any, like, metropolitan's little pocket of those people, and no one knows what you're talking about. Yeah, it's crazy. They've created... I think it's social media. They've created this microscopic bubble. Yeah.

I mean, it's decently large. It's probably millions of people. Well, it also has like the industry power. Yep. So you get these people who are saying things that make literally no sense to anybody. Regular people. Oh, I'm sorry that I'm not part of your heteronormative thing. And they're like, we're not against that.

We don't know what you're talking about. Yeah. What is that? Is that like a science term or something? And then they say, it's not my job to educate you. Yeah, yeah. But the kind of idea is those people. And then I feel like the problem is you see them online and then a lot of these people will

see comedy like people like me or whatever and they'll go oh sorry that you can't just make your like racist jokes anymore and you're oh you can't oh that the world doesn't want to hear that comedy and you go they actually do though it's like you know i do like like people and you go i'm like i'll bury you in front of your fans in a comedy club like i don't know who you like they think comedy isn't real but so the problem is most of the world are just normal people they go to comedy clubs and they laugh and they're like yeah like make fun of everyone this hilarious and then there's this sect of the internet that controls a lot of power that goes we're gonna add a third rung to this where it's like there's a contract between you and the audience.

The audience laughs. We're going to watch it after. We're going to watch it after the fact and be like, yeah, well, they're stupid. They shouldn't be watching. Shouldn't be laughing. You're wrong for doing those jokes. And you're like, what's the problem? Everyone had a good time.

And you're like, well, they shouldn't be having a good time. Do they think like the people in the audience are part? It's like the part of the act. He thinks they're too stupid. They don't know what's best for them the i i watched i watched the special i think it was from vice about a woke comic and they explained that the best way to be woke and do comedy is to make fun of yourself and so it was like really like self self self-deprecating humor is fine like rodney dangerfield was like legit that dude right that himself endlessly and it was funny yeah but some of this is just kind of like it's really bad depression off yeah yeah seriously i mean yeah if you take every other

target off the table i mean that that's all that is you but yeah i mean i think that those well comics have like i don't think there's a shortage of them being like oh i'm sorry that a white man showed up yeah so for them to say that they're not uh hitting targets when i was watching this you know what it felt like it felt like the audience and the comedian were doing a show for the cameras like a patemkin comedy show yeah where the the journalists come in they're like so can woke comedy exist and they're like yes and the comic the comic is like hello friends here's joke i'm ugly and they go yay yeah don't laugh too hard though ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Jazz hands, please. Yeah.

Yeah, it's a cosplay of a comedy show. But they want people to think it's real comedy. Yeah. You know what it really is? I think, what did someone call it? Clapped her? Yeah, of course. And you know what the thing is about, like, you do your thing and everyone does their thing. If you guys want to go do, like, your kind of hipster thing or whatever and pretend, you know, you know there's there's bands that the guy

rolls around on the ground while hitting a tambourine and that's a band and like i'm not saying they shouldn't be able to do that and i get like the hipster element of it yeah but the problem is then to go and be like oh look at these bands playing chords you know so it's yeah yeah that's kind of what chords are offensive yeah i don't care what anyone does but it's like once we get into conversations about who's allowed to do what, and you start being puritanical with these fringe beliefs that actually kind of hold a lot of institutional power, that's when you start to be like, all right, I was going to be fine, let you do your thing, but now you're telling me what to do, so now we kind of feel like we're at war.

So you did – you've done a bunch of these videos. You got one recently, Left and Right. It's like a basketball team – like you're trying to pick teams. Just describe it real quick because that one's good too. Well, this is what I've kind of been saying this a lot. It's like a lot of people on the internet really were, for the most part, kind of apolitical to some degree. They're like, I don't know. Yeah, maybe I'm down for socialized health care, but I don't really like being told what to do.

Like I don't care if gay people. Like most people, I would say there's a good good 60 of people before people kind of came in and said no no you got to pick a side right you're on the side and if and then you go and then most people are like the especially people that grew up in metropolitans are like all right i guess like i'm on the left or whatever right yeah and they're like well do you believe this this and this and you're like i don't know that seems like a lot do you believe this guy shouldn't be able to say this on the internet do you believe and they they have this insane laundry list of things you need to believe and then if you don't believe them they go this guy's right wing and then eventually some people

go all right whatever then fine I'm right wing because some you know it's like everyone's doesn't have like I'm being people like me and you think about this stuff probably more than other people because it's kind of it's your job you're essentially like a you know we're social commentators for a living so you probably have and it probably even came it probably took you a few years to sort of realize how to interface with like everyone yelling at you and telling you you're bad for saying this and you go what so i think for normal people they just get they think in terms of socratic logic where everyone just yells at them and they're like if you don't think this you're on the right and they're going i guess i'm on the right then

they go oh look at this he's on the right fire him and you're like, if you don't think this, you're on the right. And they're going, I guess I'm on the right. Then they go, oh, look at this. He's on the right. Fire him. And you're like, well, you're the one who pushed me over here. And the left wing's kicking everyone out.

So they're like an exclusive club. And they're basically saying, if you want to be here, you need to be like VIP. You need to have this much money a year. Like they're the exclusive club. Black tie suit. Yeah.

Dress up for it. Yeah. And the right wing's taking recruits right now. So they're like, everyone's in. That's why people will be like, you know what, they'll be like, oh, I like socialized healthcare. They're like dress up for it. Yeah. And the right wing's taking recruits right now, right? So they're like, everyone's in. Everyone's in. You know, they'll be like, oh, I like socialized health care.

They're like, ah, whatever. Get in here. You know what I mean? Come on in. Yeah. We'll argue about it. Right? So I feel like the way that they want to describe it is different because the truth is it's

like they're the church and everyone's like the church. Like, if you want to get into heaven, this is the left wing. We're the good one, right? If you want to be part of the good guys, good guys then uh you got a list here's the commandments and then the bar down the streets like yo we're kind of just partying over here and then they're like look the devil's down the street and they're like we're actually just drinking beers but and then they're like if you go there you're either with the church or you're with the bar and everyone's like dude i just want to go to a comedy show and laugh with my friends without you

scolding me yeah i think that's how most people see the world and i don't think they a lot of these people uh realize how much people they're turning off by you know being puritanical so in the sketch there's two guys it's you and you're supposed to talk about the sketch no no so you're wearing you're the left-wing guy and the guy the other dude's the right-wing guy yeah and then you're basically screaming at them and like the one guy's like i'm on your team and you're like well tell me 240 of your opinions or something yeah yeah the funny part my favorite part is when the guy goes i guess i'm on the right and the right wing guy leans over and goes you see this thing that donald trump said about coronavirus it's kind of reasonable right yeah whatever yeah

yeah but that that really does feel like a lot of people being like, I guess I'll be on the right. And then the right is like very like, I don't know, kind of like tame. Yeah. Hey, look at this meme from Trump. And they're like, yeah, whatever. Well, I even thought the like the response to these videos sometimes is so the microcosm of the actual video. Like I made this video basically saying there's these three people that are like, OK, I'll be on the left. The left wing is like, no, you got to be on the right right i released this video and then everyone's kind of

like look at these like right wing people and this is crazy but a tiny group there's a tiny group of you know radical kind of left wing people with lots of followers that said oh as if and everyone else like every normal person from the right the left was like that's exactly how i see it and you know you know and then because normal people see themselves as one of the three players that's like, and the radicals see themselves, oh, you're making fun of me. And you're like, well, interesting that you see yourself as the one yelling at people and not the normal person that just wants to play basketball. Exactly.

So, I mean, that's kind of says more about you than it does about the video. I think. Do you think, do you think it's going to get better? Cause they're like, there's a lot of comedians that are joe rogan for instance i mean not only does familiar with them no oh well he's a great comedian you know you should definitely take out his work you have c announcer guy yeah oh okay you're probably he's funny um but you know when i think about his podcast being so big and he does conversations along with his comedy and his comedy hits at both sides and it's

really funny then you've got people like i don't know if you're familiar with jonathan pie yeah he's super his his i saw his show and it was one of the funniest shows i've ever seen it was amazing that dude's great and he was working with andrew doyle who did titania mcgrath so they they hit it out of the park and and and you've also got ricky gervais you got dave chappelle and and they're they're they're willing to say, like, F you. I'll be offensive. Yeah. So I wonder if that resilience among those high-profile comedians is going to allow us to actually, like, well, I guess you could put it this way.

Will comedy save us from the insanity? Because regular people, like you said, see themselves as the normal basketball players, not as a left-wing guy. I guess my question is, are you optimistic or pessimistic about where this is going culturally? It seemed like it was kind of dying down a little bit because the common thought has already been lost. So I was doing stand-up clubs every night and you kind of say things and you see, I wasn't like, you know, saying like,

isn't this stuff crazy? That's what I was kind of saying like five years ago. And over the last three years, it was kind of like, oh yeah, crazy woke stuff. Like everyone's kind of rolling their eyes at it already. COVID bubbled it back up like crazy um so as far as like the counterculture it's strong in the counterculture that is the comp like the 10 15 best comics in the world right now in my opinion aren't part of the industry system and everyone kind of sees that they go yeah they go why when i watch this it's crappy and when i watch the people that aren't

endorsed you like what netflix does kind of you know it's not to say that there isn't good people on these stations but late night used to be worth something right like you go oh this guy was on you know Colbert five times like oh my god whereas now it's like you have a friend that goes yo god come check out these chicks they're so hot and you're like the first time you're like well that girl wasn't that hot and like the five more times you keep bringing twos around and you're like all right like I don't think I'm gonna listen to this guy's vouchers anymore yeah so that's kind of what the industry's done right and they're they're in this um loop because it used to be let's say you were like a record label right and you were you had you know rock was happening when rap was popping off and you're like we need

to switch to that you could probably you're gonna be a little late because they're big boats and they take a long time to turn and maybe you fire everyone and get a new regime. We're going to be a rap label now because we don't want to miss this big movement. They usually do miss it. That's why there's all these rapper millionaires. But what happens with this stuff is if you went to these places now that have that culture, like Vice or whatever, and you go, hey, this stuff's kind of like drying up. People hate it. Like, it's not doing good.

No one wants to watch it. And then you go, so we want to then and then you go so we want to switch and they go you want to switch from helping the underprivileged so it's not like oh you don't want to be a rock and roll guy anymore it's like what do you mean you're going to switch from being anti-racist you want it does it mean you want to be a nazi yeah we're going to make a culture shift from uh in company we're going to make an internal culture shift from fighting racism like what it's like my i'm gonna i'm on twitter now my boss is a nazi and the guy's like okay okay okay sorry sorry sorry sorry to keep keep churning out

articles about why trans people are awesome i'm so sorry yeah no i feel like uh the culture war is like i don't know an anchor i guess yeah it latched on dolly's industries and it's dragging them down and they can't do anything about it. And they've created their own loops too. Like every, a lot of these stations are funded by advertisers, right? So they go to the advertisers like Dove Soap,

like this is the culture, like you gotta be woke, right? Dove's like, well, okay, we're woke. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're posting the things like, yo, women rule or whatever, right? And then essentially they go to buy stuff

and they're like, hey, we're gonna do an edgy program and Dove's like, yo, we're not doing that, we're woke. And they're like, well, you don't have to be woke they're like you're the one that told us to be woke so i know i know what's really going on with dove so yeah do you know the secret you brought up dove not me tell me yeah you know dove launched that real beauty campaign oh yeah where

it's a brilliant campaign yeah it's like the women are you know kind of overweight not not morbidly i didn't i didn't see it that way i just saw them as perfect but okay interesting that's what you thought yeah it is it is so uh but that's i saw them as perfect, but interesting. That's how you saw it. Yeah, it is. It is. I saw them as delicious. Do you know who owns Dove? Funny. My guess, if I had to pick, Richard Spencer.

Close. Unilever. Unilever owns Dove Soap. What's Unilever? It's just this massive conglomerate. A major corporation owns a bunch of companies, so they own Dove. They also own another company, Ben & Jerry's. Oh.

That's a good conspiracy. It's a great conspiracy. But is it really a conspiracy? I mean, think about it. You're a dude who works at Unilever. I mean, for real. That's good stuff. It's not even a conspiracy.

Think about it. You're the guy who works at Unilever. You're going through the books, and they're like, how can we improve? They're like, we got a problem. We're trying to get moms to eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's every night, and they don't want to because we got these commercials of all these super thin women, and they're like, boom. Yeah, yeah. Do the Dove commercials for women who are normal, even though they are overweight, and

that way- Again, I don't see it that way, but- Sure, sure. So arguably it's a conspiracy, but I actually think it's more of a circumstance of the system. I hope that's true, dude. If ever a document came out, dude, if you're from WikiLeaks and you're on this,

if you could find an internal email being like, yo, let's do like a fat soap campaign. I want it to be true. I really really do we need to sell more ice cream chubby's awesome because we just acquired a pork grind company and we need to rocket ship this dude that'd be the best i'm not saying that there was like i'm not saying i think there's a guy at unilever going like here's the plan i think it's very simple that it's a system they also acquired a shampoo, and that's why they've been telling girls they shouldn't shave their armpits. Yeah, that makes sense. Hey, why not?

Yeah, it makes perfect sense. Sell 10% more shampoo, but they don't own the razors. If they buy the razor company, they're going to be like, yeah, we were wrong. Shave them. It's actually super feminist to shave them. We were off on that. We talk about get woke, go broke. We started with the NBA story.

I actually think I kind of brought this up. I think a lot of people miss is that there's get broke go woke it's the inverse right like you you've heard of get woke they're like there's only one way out of this exactly feminism yes we're a bank right but but for real dude like uh you saw that gillette toxic masculinity commercial yeah where it's. I actually changed everything after watching that. I was mid beating my girlfriend. You should have stopped. I just go. Wow.

What? So this this commercial was about toxic masculinity. And it's basically it's the epitome of bad advertising. Yeah. But it turns out a lot of people were like oh gillette got what go broke they did this well commercial they lose money and i'm like they were losing money so they did the what commercial they didn't they didn't know what to do because sales were going down and they thought maybe this was part of the scramble

yeah exactly so i i think so one thing that was eating away at gillette was something so drastic it just might work we're gonna do something so jurastic. It just might work. We're going to do something really jurastic. We're going to make a pro-women commercial. No, no, no. It was anti-man. Yeah, no. I'm just kidding.

So this whole thing is really, really funny. But because of Dollar Shave Club and Harry's, cheaper razors delivered every month, they've been losing money. So then all of a sudden this ad comes out where they're like, men, do better. And they just pissed every guy off i mean like not every single one of the woke white like are the woke feminist dudes were like yeah i i'm a feminist so they can't grow beards anyway i'm kidding i can't oh but a lot of them have beards if you know what i mean oh yeah no they're they're they're they're they're uh they're abusers i gotta be careful you know blanket statement you're all abusers. I'm going to be careful. Do you blanket statement? You're all abusers.

All of you. You know the reset the clock meme, right? Reset the clock? Yeah, it's a meme. Whenever a male feminist turns out to be a sexual abuser, reset the clock. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did a video, absolve yourself by canceling others. Oh, yeah, yeah. But it happens enough to where you know it's it's become a meme but the

funny thing uh about the clock gillette and uh with nba i think what happens is they're losing money and they think we are not with it anymore and it wasn't even them it's like their advertising agency and be like trust me we got the goods here you know if my if i was what are you thinking it's just a like a easel and they just flip the page it's just men crossed out just and they're like but we sell razors to men that's your that's that's that's the problem right there that's patriarchal thinking yeah you're not getting yeah you're not getting can we get someone in here who understands uh how to sell and understands business yeah so they they end up doing these ads and it's a response in my opinion it's a desperation to be hip yeah so so you mentioned the the advertisers because i i've experienced this too when i was

i mentioned that company right that i worked for this media company and they uh a lot of people know it was fusion they wanted to get woke and it was because it was because of these these marketing consultants so so if i was going to have an actual conspiracy theory, it would be that these far leftists immediately got jobs at advertisers. Yes, that's exactly what it is, dude. And it's, I mean, you've probably had videos. I've had videos myself where I put them up. You know the one we were talking about with the porn stars?

Oh, yeah. Explain it real quick. It's just, I don't, it's too much swearing and stuff. But basically, I made this video with some porn stars and it's like a comedy video it's on my channel but like the it's kind of irrelevant what it's about but i put it on my on my tiktok and it did like two million views and i lost 20 000 subscribers so there is a you know there is a possibility of like but if you were if you work for an advertising firm what happens is you go to these companies and you're like you hired me to do this advertising campaign they go back and they

go look at this we did you know 20 million impressions like the cpm on that like what a successful campaign and they all pop the champagne like one of the most successful camp we want to win advertising awards and you're like yeah but what you didn't mention is, you know, half of those, maybe more than half of those was people sharing it, saying like, I hate this. Or it's actually crazier than that. So one thing they'll do is, and this has been rampant in digital media, advertisers will go to these companies and say, gender, here's what the young kids want. They want to talk about gender. And so then these companies are like, okay, I guess we'll do a big gender thing. And then the advertising company will say,

okay, it'll cost you $20,000 for this production. They'll take $10,000 and they will buy views. Oh, that's the Vice model. Through Google or Facebook. I'm not going to say anything. I know. Because Vice has bought some views off of properties that I've been involved with.

Wow, really? Yeah. So I know, elaborate on that. Wow, really? Yeah. So I know a little. Elaborate on that. Okay, so basically. If you can. Yeah, I mean, this isn't like a conspiracy. This is just like how that industry works. Yep.

Yeah, you know. You're playing dumb with me. No, I've talked about it quite a bit. Okay, so yeah. Basically how these models do is they sell the clicks. They say vice. Like, we're the cool guy. You know, you want some vice clicks?

We're charging more than other people because you're buying a cool guy you know yeah so they sell to whatever Red Bull a million clicks at vibes vices articles are bombing right now because they you know they were hopping on a trend that's like dying out and then let's say they only get 500,000 clicks and for to put on their you know the ad on or whatever then they go to other websites you know let's say for example a reductress dose.com that's what it was

I'm pretty sure I could be wrong gaymailbathhouse.org I'm not familiar with it but you know I've heard that there's articles websites like that sounds like vice to be honest dude yeah yeah yeah you've seen that video where the guy's doing a vice article and he's like he can't think of anything so he grabs a dildo out of a box, and then he throws it at the wall, and then he throws it again.

Yeah, so anyway. Yeah, and then they buy the click, so they go, hey, we'll pay you a percentage. Basically, we sold this for $500,000. We can't fulfill it. You know what I mean? Yep. So it's like if I said to someone, hey, you want to hang out with comedian Ryan Long and Tim Poole? Give us $10,000 and it'll go to charity.

And someone goes, oh, I'll pay $10,000 for Tim. I don't want Ryan to come, but whatever, right? So they pay us the $10,000 to hang out with us for a day. And then we go, yeah, me and Tim couldn't make it. Right, right, right, right. My boy from high school, we call him B-Note. He's coming out. He's going to have lunch with you.

He's usually just here to clean the garbages out, but he'll be hanging out. Dude, I'm telling you, he's cool. He's just like me. We grew up. I can't believe it's not Ryan. Yes, it's a real thing. It's called ad rights distribution or something like that. And these companies, in my opinion, I think it's fraud.

That's just what I think. It kind of is. If I go to you and I'm like, hey, I've got 50 million views per month, and it's all premium, and I'm going to sell. And then what they did was they would go to these small clickbait farms that just generate as many clicks as possible. Sell you junk. It's the big short in a nutshell. No, it really is. Same principle.

I've talked i've talked to eddie right right right uh so for those aren't familiar with the big short this is about the financial crash in 08 and like a mortgage-backed security documentary about kevin hart is it what do you mean oh no no i don't know if he was in it i'm like wait wait was he no no but so so anyway oh i get it. That took me a while. It was an on-purpose corny joke. So anyway, what happens is you think you're buying Vice, but you're actually buying, I think it was called Dose. I'm not entirely sure. And you ever see those websites where it's like the 25 pictures of Brad Pitt's junk or something?

Yeah. No. I mean, no. No? You've never seen Shirt? No. No, no, I haven't. Don't check my history

but actually a real example I always make that that's my go to tabloid joke because it was an actual article I saw one time

and was it like in his bathing suit it was just like pictures of Brad Pitt and like cameras stuff where his dick was like

zoomed in on his pants I'm like it's the stupidest thing I've ever seen they still do that no but there's one you've probably seen where it's like these child actors maybe you've seen it I haven't seen it there's this article it's the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Yeah, they still do that. No, but there's one you've probably seen where it's like these child actors.

Maybe you've seen it. I haven't seen it. There's this article. It's like child actresses who grew up. Okay. And when you click it, it'll be like 25. And in order to see the next one, you got to load a brand new page. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's the biggest scam in the book. Yeah. And they were like, look at this, 12 clicks. And they just went through all the pages. Yeah. And so the bounce rate's ridiculous. The retention is zero. 20 people who are racist, and you get 20 clicks because they click.

Number one, my dad. Number two, my teacher. Number three, Congress. Congress. And they go through each and every Congress person. So the people click these. Then you end up with 30 clicks. They're worthless junk clicks.

Nobody saw any ads. No one saw any. But then they attach that and say, here we go. We delivered the million clicks. Nobody saw any ads. No one saw it. But then they attach that and say, here we go. We delivered the million views you wanted. Yeah, you got it from Vice. But so that was a huge problem. I don't know if they're still doing it because they kind of all got it. They are.

They are still doing it. That's crazy. But it's like going down. People aren't falling for it anymore, aren't they? Well, I mean, I think in this world, like, yeah, there was a while in the advertising world that was like the wild, wild west. I remember even like doing sponsorships to people. It was kind of one of those like the Dr. Evil thing where they're like, how much do you want for this video?

And you're like a billion dollars. And then they're like, oh, a billion. Well, I will do. How about 900 million? Right. Yes, exactly. There was a while where like these valuations were just insane. Right.

And then you'd be like, also, can you pay for it? And they're like, sure. And you're like, you know,'s sick these guys are idiots right and i think that was a little bit where these kids kind of you know younger people go to these companies and they explain it in the way that they're they go no this is just how it works you don't understand we these are affiliated brands like they don't say no no no you're still buying vice but these are brands that were affiliated like we own these properties and they're part of our empire like they kind of sell it that but the other thing you even mentioned and the thing that kind of always makes me laugh is they're kind of going

and saying this is what the kids want or whatever right but the truth is what they're saying is this is what we millennials want and like the younger people the people that are 20 hate this stuff and millennials just can't get past the fact that we're the same age. We're not that young anymore. You know what I mean? So a lot of these millennials are going around being like, oh, these old guys just don't get it. It's like, you're 35, dude. You could have four kids and it would be kind of normal.

This is what's funny about Vice. Vice billed itself as the CNN of the street. That's what the CEO was saying. And just like, we got the youth. We're with it. And at the time, the higher that's what the ceo was saying and uh just like we're we got the youth we're with it and at the time like the the higher ups were like 40 yeah they were like they're gen xers they're they're in their 40s i remember when i started working there man it's like wow it's 10 years ago almost yeah and they did have something but man right around the time i started working there it just became very corporate very very quickly but the one thing i was going to mention

too it's not so much about the the ad rights manipulation where you know someone will say we want we want to sell you know a million ads a million a million views and so they just throw garbage at it they'll also here's what they'll do i'll say to you i want uh i'm gonna make a video for you and it'll cost you 10 grand but i guarantee you I can get your video a million views. Yeah. And they just run it on a generic ad run on YouTube or something. You can get as much as you want

if you pay for it. Exactly. But then they come back and they go, look how successful the campaign was. Yeah. It got a million views. A million views and three comments. So what happened?

Right. Nine shares. Yep. But you can also buy bot farms. So I think... That's the ultimate. Yeah. That's when you're just like, you know what like let's roll the dice f it this is this is the crazy like i don't just put a million views on and then charge them 100 grand yep uh look at a million

views like don't look it's it's ridiculous to me that it's that simple holy holy crap this video popped off in nigeria look at the analytics yeah, yeah, crazy. Don't let, well, don't let them. All in one minute. Oh, man. We got, we nailed the 18 to 99 demographic in India and Turkey. Yeah. No, when they actually do click farms, they're sophisticated click farms. So they can make it seem like, you know, I remember talking. Yeah, no, they're getting better at it.

They're like, do you want New York-based, Florida-based? We can do hipster millennial. We can make it look like anybody. Yeah. And I can't believe this stuff is legal and're getting better at it. They're like, do you want New York-based, Florida-based? We can do hipster millennial. We can make it look like anybody. Yeah. And I can't believe this stuff is legal and they get away with it. It's probably, I mean, I don't know if it's legal. Yeah, you're right. I don't know.

But yeah, the one thing that just reminded me of advice is the, so this is another one. When they came to Canada, they were like, okay, we want to do, you know, they made this big venture deal. So every place that goes to a different country from America, they make these crazy deals with the government where they're like, we're going to make so much content. We're going to give everyone jobs. Like, don't you worry. So then the government gives them tax breaks to come, right? So it's kind of – and then once they actually have to make this stuff, they're like, yeah, like we're lying.

We're not going to do that. Thanks for the money. Yeah, yeah. It's exactly right. But I was doing a show at Rogers at the time and they brought me in um and they were like the guy rogers like hey the vice people want to talk to you this is like when vice was cool before rogers is like what like verizon of canada or something yeah exactly yeah but they're yeah kind of like i don't know i guess what viacom would be in terms of like oh

even bigger than that huh well i don't know about the size i just mean in terms of like they they do have like i own a bunch of tv stations yeah so i don't know just verizon on like tv properties like that? No, no. Well, Rogers is like cell phones too, I guess. Yeah, but they're also like... So it's like AT&T. Yeah, I don't know what their portfolio divisions look like.

But yeah, they do the cell phones and they also own a bunch of other stuff, including TV networks and stuff like that. So they came in and they were like... Yeah, again, this was like when they were kind of making cool stuff. Not that they don't make anything good, but it's like their culture department and journalist stuff is, you know, just completely garbage. Right. Yeah. And they said they brought me into this room and they played this video being like, yo, Vice, we want to make content that can't be made in a boardroom. And we're all watching this from a boardroom. And looked around being like they can't be serious like the lack of self-awareness to play us a video that says we want to make stuff that can't ever be talked about in a boardroom sitting in a boardroom you go you guys are cooked

dude they don't even like they've stopped even pretending to like care it's it's kind of sad though man because when i first the first time i went to vice i walk into this rickety old building in brooklyn kickflip through the front door yeah no no there was literally a skate ramp in the vice building like early days because it was a skate it was a skate it was a skate shop and skate park I go upstairs and all the bosses are sitting in the exact same room with just exposed brick walls and crappy desks sitting side by side working with people and then within you know I don't know six seven months it was like everything was remodeled redone corporate, corporate, brought in HR department. I'm like, man, this is not fun anymore.

This is like – it went from – like when I first started – Also, can you write articles about why you suck? You're like – yeah, especially because you're like a journalist, right? You're like – you were kind of, I guess, attracted to when people were doing these docs in Russia and that. They're like, hey, can you go to like Wall Street and do a documentary about why you suck you know it doesn't seem as fun not well i mean the it seems plastic now it used to be fun so i'm like i got a crazy idea i want to write i want to write this ridiculous article about you know crazy bs and they'd be like yeah you're at 20 is doing fun stuff yeah now then it became plastic where it was like okay

we've got you know we used to have this gritty fun and exciting youth kind of you know edgy outlet now let's fit it into a package slap the brand on it and ship it out nationwide for christmas and then they're like we don't want this and then they go show them the half pipe again right they go look we got a half pipe you gotta buy this you know you know what it feels like? It feels like there was some young edgy dudes who were having a wild adventure. Yeah, of course. And then they saw their opportunity and they said, here's the franchise formula. Have a nice day.

Yeah, the clickbait formula. You know what's funny? Because you mentioned you saw my one where it was like Fox and CNN and I was kind of making fun of them. Yeah, that was so good. Yeah, how to sell footage to Fox and CNN. Like the same thing at Vice. Like I always kind of rag on these organizations but when i made that video there was people at fox and cnn that were both like dude i work there and it's honestly kind

of like that and i hate it so there are real journalists that you know work at these organizations that the same reason like they're you know in canada i've worked at these uh you know made tv shows at these places that have that culture where from the outside you're like this place is junk. There's a lot of people there that are like, yeah, dude, I hate this too. I'm trying to make some cool stuff and I'm getting shut down at every... These people got to speak up, blow the whistle, and just talk about the culture.

Yeah. Look, I had a contract. I wanted to leave. I left. Dude, I'm never going to sign an NDA on that stuff. I'll come out and say it. Here's what happened. Here's what they told me to do. It was whack. They told me to lie in this way and that way. I'll just say it. Vice?

No, Vice was crazy. Vice was like I'd walk in a room and I'd be like, I'm going to Turkey. And they'd be like, when can you leave? Go in the room, get body armor, and just let me know when you're at the airport. It was kind of awesome. I love the idea of when you got fired. Or I'm sure you quit or whatever. Yeah, I quit.

When you quit Vice, they're like, all right quit or whatever. Yeah, I quit. Yeah, yeah. When you quit Vice, they're like, all right, you need to turn in your trucks. My trucks? Oh, no, no, no. When I quit Vice, they were like. And your guitar picks. When I quit, they were like, you didn't quit. And I was like, yeah, I did.

And they were like, nobody quits. Yeah, nobody quits. And your tech decks. Keep it coming. All the tech decks. I had to turn in my official. No, they gave me like i have a vice ring you know oh you got the vice ring yeah you've been there for how many years did you get the vice ring no i i don't know i don't know but i i was there and i got it and

they vice loves being paying people in capital other than money yeah you're like how about you know points uh you get a vice badge does a ring you're like i'd like a raise because i'm getting paid 20 grand a year you're like how about a ring what does that do for you and then when you're like oh i can't pay my rent with the ring they're like you know like shining it and it's like did you did we tell you we're having a rave next week does that do anything for you literally do those things i know i've been but you know um it's been a while uh look i i i i still have a lot of respect for a lot of people over there of course but. But they treated it like a cult. So when I was leaving, it was straight up like nobody quits.

And I had a bunch of – I had friends who stayed there for a long time. And they were like, what do you mean you're quitting? Nobody quits. And I was like, dude, I'm not going to – I do my thing. I'm on a path to success. If at any point I feel like it's not working for me, I go my own way. And they were shocked because everybody was so desperate to work there the line was out the door but look

you know I could see what was happening it was look the company made a lot of money it's a very successful business but it wasn't a culture that I wanted to be a part of at a certain point it's becoming corporate you can feel the energy I mean like you know anyone who gets good at any of this kind. You can feel the energy. I mean, like, you know, anyone who gets good

at any of this kind of stuff, you feel the energy when it's growing and you feel the energy of when something's, like, becoming stale and being on the wrong side of, you know, what,

especially, like, the new movements are and stuff like that. Right. You know, you're like, you guys are about to go into corporate treaded territory and I don't want to be part of that.

Yeah, and very early on, because I was only there for, like, a year and a half. Very early on, it was my... You got the ring after a year and a half? I was only there like a year and a half very early on it was my you got the ring after a year and a half i was only for a year and a half well to be fair though uh i was like a good get for them you know yeah yeah yeah so that was part of the package so they proposed to you it's like we tim will you it would be a journalist kind of yes absolutely no no it was like after some amount of time they were like how can we make sure this guy doesn't want to leave yeah and they really believe that they had this power

of the vice brand that everybody loved so much nobody would quit yeah and there's some internal stuff where you get your vice tattoo covered up oh definitely yeah it's a butterfly i don't have any tattoos actually but it's a lower back lower back right yeah no they they actually said to me like you didn't quit and i I was like, I did. And they're like, this isn't over. And I was like, it's over. You're not breaking down. I cashed the check for the other company.

And it's funny because I saw what was happening. And so I figured when I got reached, so I got this recruiting company reached out to me that was, you know, it was ABC News Univision. And they were like, we want to be like Vice. We want to be that edgy young. And so I thought to myself, if this is where things are kind of going and I feel like I'm going to be underpaid here, why not just go to the big company and have full control? And they're becoming that anyway. Exactly. So I was like, if you want to be in that culture and be like that, why wouldn't I just go to the company that's already got the cash and it's gonna you know pony up the big bucks that's obviously the move i mean

you know you want to do those jobs when you're in your like early 20s and then you kind of move to the you make your couple big moves in your life if you're going to stay in that world you know i i had a conversation with someone from vice and the general idea was they were like if you leave you lose the cool factor and oh no but but no but think about it so on them the cool factor went vice floor it was a springboard for a lot of people right for sure for sure like yeah definitely lost that but at the time it was cool factor now it is now it's now it's cringe factor yeah so at the time it was like if you stay here and you do more of these videos because like i did a video with kim.com, the hacker dude. Kim K, got it.

Yeah, and it got like, for sure, it got like 5 million views overnight. And so Vice was hot on social media and YouTube. And it was like, if you leave, you're not going to get this kind of recognition. You'll make more money. And they're really selling that. That's their whole thing. And you know what I said was? I was like, dude, those videos that got all those views that's me getting those views not you

yeah yeah and so you know because i had already gotten a ton of views on a ton of content but they were really you know going for that so i ended up leaving this company and here's the point of the story i got no problem saying here's what all these companies did i'll say it straight up yeah we need more people to do that like the things you're mentioning about these these tech companies how they sell ads the fake game they play the marketing companies that are telling people to get woke and then it results in trash content nobody wants but the point i was making before about how it's kind of like an anchor is that once you get woke you don't go back no you can't because the culture is too ingrained you know it's like again once once you've you you basically tell everyone hey if we do something else we're racist

everyone's like got it and you come back you're like hey we're gonna do something else and they're like but that's like, got it. And then you come back, you're like, hey, we're going to do something else. And they're like, but that's racist. Yeah, and then nobody will move. But you know what it's like? You ever see that you ever hear of that experiment they did with the chimps? And they put them in this room. Had sex with them all? Yeah, yeah. And everyone got diseased. No, they put a ladder. Me and my boys. I don't know exactly

how they did it, but it's like an urban legend. I'm pretty sure it's a true story. They put like this stool in a room and they put fruit on top and they did a bunch of chimps. And anytime a chimp would try and climb the ladder to get the fruit, they it's like an urban legend. I'm pretty sure it's a true story. They put the stool in a room and they put fruit on top and they did a bunch of chimps. And anytime a chimp would try and climb the ladder to get the fruit, they'd spray him with the hose.

Yeah. So then eventually, if any chimp tried to get the food, the other chimps... They beat the other chimp out. Then one by one, they swapped. It's the crab in a bucket theories,

you know? Well, but so one by one, they would switch the chimp out. Then they'd put in a new chimp. Yes. And they got rid of the hose. There's a bunch... There's different versions

of that experiment. I've actually seen a different one, but I know exactly what you champ. Yes. And they got rid of the host. There's a bunch. There's different versions of that experiment. I've actually seen a different one, but I know exactly what you're talking about. And eventually no one knows why they're doing it. Exactly. So here's what happens. You get some guy at a tech company. I'm sorry, at a media company. And they're sitting there scratching their beard and their man bun.

And they're like. Getting the vice tattoo on their neck. And while they're sitting there, they're thinking to themselves, like, how can we boost views? They're like, let's try some woke feminist stuff. They do it. They get some marginal boost from shock content. It's rage bait. This guy gets a promotion and leaves.

He gets replaced by a new woke guy. And now you have a whole room full of woke people who have no idea why they're doing it. And they'll never give it up. It just becomes a genre. It always happens in comedy too. It's like the thing that you're making fun of becomes obsolete. But the thing, like for example, you know, if you were talking about, you know, the cop shows that are like, hey, Riggs, you know, we're going to do whatever, right?

We're going to do whatever? What are they going to do? No, I was thinking, you know, I'll say this first because it was making me laugh in my head. The idea of you retired from Vice and then Vice being like, can you come back, do an article? And you're like, you know, I don't do that anymore. I don't do it anymore, Shane. One last job. One last job.

There's crack smokers in Russia. I'm sitting here and I'm like, no. And then they like open a briefcase. Yeah, yeah. And it's a bunch of rings. It's a second ring. Yeah, a bunch of it's a bunch of rings second ring yeah yeah it's just a ring

it's in and look I think yeah yeah I couldn't get through my point because I was making myself laugh but it's just

it's a briefcase with one ring yeah and you're like alright one last job get me my plaid shirt with rolled up sleeves and then it's like it's writing an article and it's like the, the crack addicted coal miners of Siberia.

And you're like, why can't someone else do it? They're like, they can't talk to the crack addicted coal miners. It's only you that have the skills to infiltrate. You think you're telling me a joke? Let me tell you a story. One of the things that I got pitched when i was there was a story about in south south

american mountains where the men have to climb up and like do mining on like mountaintops or whatever yeah the women can't survive up there as long as the men can because of typical absolutely well so this is what i was told that the women have a harder time surviving because of the thin air yeah so the men work up there for really long periods of time, but they get lonely. And because women can't come up, other men have to dress up like women and service the other men. And that was literally a vice story.

And I was asked like, would you want to go to these mountains and like interview this and like do a video? I'm like, that sounds like girls putting a wig on and jerking off dudes. Dudes doing, putting wigs on. jerking off dudes it's like no it's dudes doing putting wigs on yeah we are not family friendly anymore this sounds like the south park episode no i wasn't i was like when's the plane leave i was like i'll parachute in land me on top of the mountain yeah

you come in you land on the like on the person give me my wig servicing the guy oh no too close for comfort you ever seen the south park episode where the the cops taking down the uh the uh the johns by pretending to be a pedophile dressing up that's you you have to dress up like the wig he gets married to the pimp it's like 10 years later you're doing your six guys in but you have a gopro on your head no no no no oh my god you'd be surprised like when i was in when i was in venezuela yeah you have to work undercover for seven months. I almost went to prison. Really?

I was in Venezuela. I had some high profile Venezuelan dude accuse me of being a spy. All of a sudden, I'm getting attacked online, like 10,000 tweets in a few minutes saying like, we're coming for you. We're going to find you. Things like that. From people in Venezuela? Yeah.

While I was in Venezuela. How did they see you in the first place? So I had posted something on Instagram. Okay. okay i was like it's no big deal i was like i took a picture of the protest or whatever and uploaded it and then some high profile and they could tell that you were like a journalist and that's what they mean by spy like they're like you're here to know they straight up said i was a spy they said i was working for the cia okay so they so yeah okay so it was actually american leftists started tweeting at the guy saying tim pool works for the c CIA and he's in your country.

And so the dude saw it, went on a show, and he started showing pictures of me. And he was like, look, he's here. He's here. And he started showing pictures of corpses in Ukraine claiming like I had killed them or something. Like crazy, crazy stuff. And so what I was told from Vice was, can you make this the story? And I was like, can you send me a helicopter please so i was i the first thing i did as soon as it happened i was like airport airport airport

yeah talk to security and they were like it was the middle of the night you got to wait till the sun cracks because you don't want to get killed sun cracked got in the cab got to the airport got on that plane and like i was sitting outside the gate waiting for for boarding and that's what i was asked by the guys advice they were like why don't you just, you know, this is the story. And I was like, they're going to throw me in prison, dude. Yeah, yeah. I called my family.

And you're like, they're like sick, right? They're like, well, you'll be fine. And I talked to my family. Do you know how many articles you could write from prison, dude? No, you wouldn't write any. But then like, so I was talking to my family. I murdered a guy and did 15 years in prison. That probably is. I'm sure it is. It's a big, long piece. No, but I was talking to my family. I murdered a guy and did 15 years in prison. That probably is.

I'm sure it is. It's a big, long piece. No, but I was talking to some family members and they said, well, if you go to prison, you'll probably in for a couple, you'll be in for a couple of years, but the state department will eventually get you out and then you can write a book about it. Prison in there. In Venezuela. Everyone you talk to is like, dude, this can be great for your career.

You're like, can someone get me out of here? Does anyone care? Your lawyer is like, you're like, hey, okay. So I need a lawyer your career. You're like, can someone get me out of here? Does anyone care? Your lawyer is like, no. You're like, hey, okay, so I need a lawyer right now. He's like, let me ask you a question. Have you started writing? What kind of – are you using your laptop? Now, what kind of percentage can we talk about?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no. Your lawyer thinks you're calling him to negotiate the book deal. The point I was bringing up with my family member was not that they were encouraging me to go to prison. It was they were like, that's the mentality of what they're thinking. They want you to stay because then they could have this international into our journalist was there he was totally on the on the level i'm not saying that's actually what they wanted you know vice necessarily yeah but that's what

my family member thought they were going for like some people and people in my family were just like it sounds like and so i was like i'm gonna be on that plane and i remember sitting on that plane and i was just like sweating bullets waiting and then as soon as the wheels lifted off the ground i was like yes when i got back one of the interns advice was venezuelan was he ran to me he's like how did you get out and i was like what do you mean he's like how did you get out and i was just like i went to the airport got on a plane up there like wow because they throw people in prison for way less than what they accused you of being an american spy spy yeah and then somebody hacked my my family's accounts phones they hacked my my facebook account like dude this is the craziest

thing a friend of mine i hadn't talked to in like six years uh messaged me saying you need to call me immediately the fbi is asking about you and i was like this is probably like something to do with what happened so i email body inspectors I call him and he doesn't answer. I call him several times. He doesn't answer. Finally, he calls me back like four hours later and he's like, why are you calling me, dude? And I was like, you told me to call you. He's like, we've talked, I haven't talked to you in like four or five years, bro. And I was like, I got a message from you on Facebook saying, call you. And he was like, dude, I didn't message you. I haven't talked to you in years. I sent him a screenshot of it. And he was like, bro, I never messaged you. And so I talked to some of my cybersecurity friends and they said it was a –

I want cybersecurity friends. Messaging injection attack. And what they think happened was that the Venezuelan cybersecurity infrastructure was trying to get me to make a phone call from inside the country so they could find out where I was. Wow. But I was back in the States. So when I called them, it didn't do anything. And then because I'm a funny guy, I used a GPS spoofer. And then I tweeted something like, these arepas are delicious. And then I made my GPS location Venezuela.

Really? I was like, there you go, guys. You outsmarted them. No, I don't think I actually did anything. I have no idea. But they did hack all of my stuff. They hacked my Facebook. There was like an unknown login and stuff.

And so that's freaky. I've had a few of those, dude. I had a guy that sent me. He's like, this is your password. This was like a month ago. And it was like, I've got your password. And I've been watching you through your webcam or whatever. And you need to send me money.

Someone did that to you? Yeah, dude. It was like a month ago. But it was in my spam. And I was looking for another email. So I saw my spam. And it was like a month ago but i it was in my spam and i was looking for another email so i saw my spam and it's like it's a month ago but he had my password right wow and i was like yeah but you know i don't know man sometimes people i don't know it's weird like what's he gonna get from you i don't know i'm sure if yeah someone's stupid or would have been like i don't know here's two thousand dollars whatever it is

like yeah yeah some rich dude they're like hey we're gonna send all your like in i mean to be fair if someone was in my group chats right now and was like hey we just like i just have a transcript of all your group chats and i'm gonna release them all i'd be like here's my house uh would you like to have sex with my girlfriend you can like i mean just you give me the list of demands here's my mom uh whatever you need, because this cannot get out. So I actually want to talk about one more thing because we're getting close to super chat time. But we were talking about woke, college campus, all these jokes. And it reminds me of a man, Jerry Seinfeld, because he's the one who kind of sparked a lot of this conversation around college campus comedy.

And now he's in the news because he's the one saying New York is fine. Yes. We're seeing a bunch of articles. I think you mentioned this earlier. We got the story from the Post. I said from James Altucher. Yes. James Altucher is my friend too. He said New York City is dead forever.

Yeah. Is he right? Well this is kind of a... The truth is who knows and even James doesn't know necessarily. But the first thing is first i saw i've never seen anything with more hate like anything i've done anything a lot of my friends have done where people go the whole internet goes you're the worst the only thing i've seen like this was when ari shafir did the kobe thing and everyone on the internet was like this guy is where basically

when he said new york city is dead forever people basically saw it as if he went to the Twin Towers the day they came down and spit on the ashes. Jeez. I don't know if you were following this at all, but the amount of visceral hate. I was doing comedy shows in New York still, and I would talk to comics. The people would be talking about it, and they'd go, that guy's an idiot. There's a smat. Yeah. So anyway, Jerry Seinfeld, I guess, was like that.

And then he goes goes it's not uh dead you're an idiot like you're wrong like f you you're stupid you're a putz call them a putz which is pretty funny james altucher is going back to him he goes at least jerry seinfeld wrote some new jokes like stuff like that oh wow so altucher's taking some pretty contrarian takes here he's sort of saying here's my list of what i think uh he's doubled down since people got mad at him i don't know how much of this you know he you know when you make a video every week he does two articles a week he may have been kind of being hyperbolic and not realized how much he's putting it out i agree with him i mean i'm not in new york so i'm sure people i but but i think seinfeld doesn't know he didn't he didn't say any good rebuttals he just goes no it's not he doesn't

even live there no he doesn't even live there he's in the Hamptons and stuff, right? But you live there. I live there now. I'm in the thick, dude. Is it dead? I'm full Canadian-American patriot right now. I love it. But what do you think?

I mean, living there in the city. I've been saying that it's funny because every, I thought we were talking about this a little bit before, but everywhere you look on the TV, it's like everyone's locked in their houses, the pandemic. If I go outside my house, it's a carnival. There is literally guys selling stuff on the street. Everyone's walking around without a mask.

No one cares for the most part. So they basically said, okay, we're going to let bars do street bars. If you go to certain corners like in the East Village, it's like New Orleans. Basically, the streets blocked off. There's a street party. Everyone's like partyingleans the basically the streets walk blocked off there's a street party everyone's having a everyone's like partying on the street so there's well you can't get evicted right yeah i don't know if that's true yeah you can you get evicted i don't know probably i mean i think if a landlord came up to you and they're like yo you're evicted you're like yeah i'm not going anywhere so

right right right go sue me i guess yeah go to go to the landlord courts and then the landlord courts would be like yeah i mean there's a nine month waiting list and even then probably not and you'd be like i think you would just have to eat it if your tenants stop paying rent yeah well i think that's that's one of the big one of the big challenges now for one thing people are buying up properties like crazy they're definitely they're definitely leaving new york they're leaving california san francisco's got like a 96 inventory increase from people fleeing the city yeah but people are leaving. And so it's like when I read this article saying New York was dead,

and then I read all of these things like the amount of businesses that are permanently closed, the half a million middle to upper class people who have fled already, not to mention that more are leaving inventory for 13,000 empty apartment buildings or vacant buildings, I believe.

And then you got homeless people being put in these hotels in like the upper east and west side, like these richer areas like these wealthier areas yeah people are just like no i sort of misinterpreted your last question i thought you meant what's it like in general i actually forgot that we were relating it back to this article of whether new york is dead yeah yeah i mean no no no i think i think what you said is interesting yeah but i think that it is true that a lot of the points he made and there is this thing where how long can you push it and push it and push it? I mean, this is what happened to Silicon Valley, right?

I think a lot of what James thinks, too, and not putting words in his mouth, is like when Joe Rogan kind of said, like, all right, LA, enough's enough. I'm out of here, right? Yeah. And whether that had to do with tax breaks, who knows, right? But eventually, and people kind of a little bit. I don't think it has anything to do with taxes. Maybe not, right?

So I think a lot of people kind of got it. They're like, LA's been pushing their luck, right? They've just said, you know, we can do whatever we want because we're Los Angeles and everyone wants to live here. And New York kind of feels like that too. We'll have way higher taxes and F you, everyone still wants to be here. And there's a point where it's like everything else is opening back up. People have started working remotely and they like it and it works and you go, this is better. So there is a there is a

point where there is where other places start looking more attractive and then everyone moved to silicon valley from up to austin and now austin they're starting to regulate and do all this stuff and they're kind of like all right we gotta find a new place it seems like the people that like freedom and not regulation kind of always go on the run then those places get good then everyone comes there and then they crack down again i I can't find somewhere else to go. I can't believe so many, I keep hearing from so many people that are moving to Austin

and I'm like, that's exactly why I'm not going to do it. Yeah, Austin. It's good. I think the people that moved to Austin, the Peter Thiel's of the world, well, I don't know if we moved there, but the hymns of the world

that are like Silicon Valley's out of control. The group conformity is too much. The innovation's dying because the regular, whatever it is, right? Housings are too high. All of this stuff, right? So they basically all moved to Austin, like it seems like over the last four or three years kind of thing.

And then now it's sort of caught up where Austin's back to where Silicon Valley is now. Right. You know, I think it's South by Southwest too. Because I remember the first time I went to South by, I was so excited. I got invited to speak. And then I was like, this is a a lie the whole thing was a lie like nobody nobody cared about anything going on it was just an excuse to go hang out with your buddies it was like all these silicon valley dudes getting drunk and i was like that's cool if that's your thing dude that's like

burning man you're like yeah this cool hippie thing and you're like everyone here works on wall street yeah and you show up and they're like in luxury that's why i have friends who are like i love going to burning man and i'm like they did a quiznos commercial there dude yeah i'm sorry man that's why i'm i'm like look i'm hanging with some guy a silicon valley guy and this dude with moon shoes and dreadlocks on yeah no no no you know you know what i think would be really cool and i think we need is people need to go make their own places i was looking at a bunch of really small towns in the middle of nowhere that were dying out. Yeah, that's kind of what you're doing a little bit, right? A little bit.

You're one step away from seasteading. Well, I mean, that'd be cool too. Do the Tim Pool complex? Just get like a big mega yacht and just go off and be like armed guards and, you know, fight off pirates. No, but like, wouldn't it be cool if you know all these rich people they're going to austin and i'm like but why it's it's it's gonna you give it 10 years and it'll be exactly what you left because all these people are rushing they're like i want to go somewhere

that's cool and hip and california's gross and it's like dude california had one party rule forever they have a super majority in la and they couldn't pass any of these reforms to fix their problems and all these people are going to go to aust who don't care about Austin they're going to go to these areas of Texas they don't care about Texas and you're gonna get the same problem people move to LA they're not from LA so they don't care about the community's problems so they just they pass they pass the buck LA falls to crap and they move again it's they they bounce around it's like it's it's like the aliens from Independence Day you know I'm talking you see that movie how they just like they come to earth because they're going to strip it clean and then leave yeah so i'm just like no i mean and i do get that because i'm not from new york

and there's all this you know when people are like can you believe he said that about new york and i was like what do i care like i'm canadian i'm like you know i'm here because it's like a good place to stand up and it is a hub of the world for culture. And I think the best comedy in the world is happening there, especially right now. It was. Yeah, exactly. I'm half kidding. You're right, dude. You're right.

What was that story where a comedy club did an outdoor event and they got shut down? Yeah, that's – I mean, they basically allowed them, and then they shut them down. So I got an email last week from a lot of people being like, yeah, that show's canceled or whatever. That's so dumb. You know what I'm saying? They're pushing their luck. That's what they're saying. They go, you know, no one's going anywhere.

And everyone's like, yeah, we kind of will though, you know. Go to, I don't know, Nebraska or something. There's tons of open space. Dude, people will move. Build your own place. You're moving. Like people will move for what they want to do. I mean, I just did.

Like I was in Toronto. I didn't like the way that it was shaking down there. I saw something here, and I felt like I could make a better life, and then I moved here. See, this is exactly what I'm talking about, right? See, these people, these communists in California moved to Austin, and like you, a Canadian communist, you moved to, I'm just kidding. That's you. No, but it is actually kind of funny.

I want half your views on this. We should split the views. Our views. No, yes, they are my views. Our views. Yes, we will split your views on this we should split the views yeah no yes they are they're my views our views yes we will split the views our video now let's get these super chats since i'm taking half of the money when when did you come down from from canada less than a year ago so before covid yeah so i was here whack timing you snuck in yeah dude i got um i came here uh and then i did like four or five months, you know,

enough to meet people and get into all these comedy clubs and then boom, COVID. Wow. So now you're trapped. Yeah, it's okay. I like New York. I mean, lots of cool stuff's happening right now. So it's fine, man. I mean, people are innovative, right?

It's like even this go back to, listen, like what happened in the last little while, the industry was so uh we only want this one type of thing and then look at people like you that created your whole little empire here right and i mean same thing the whole podcasting empire like all of those people would have had tv shows five years ago but they're like we don't want this type of guy in tv and it's like you know they essentially people are very inventive and especially the certain that you know one i would say like one in a hundred people in America has the values of like, I'm going to accomplish what I would like to do

no matter what. And if you even have one in a hundred, that's three million people that are willing to do anything to get what they want, right? So if you say, okay, we don't want this type of comedy. It's like, okay, we'll create our own thing.

And there's a lot of people that are willing to do whatever it takes in America. And I think that's one of the things I like about it here. So do you think these big industry, like, so Netflix did have a Rogan special, they had a Dave Chappelle special. So those are the, but those are legacy people, right? Like there is a point where you get so big and, you know, the truth is I even disagree with,

not necessarily Rogan, but the way Ricky Gervais talks about cancel culture and jokes, I disagree with him, like, because his take on that sort of thing is always, oh, it's just jokes. You should be able to joke about anything. But a lot of times I'm saying these jokes and my audience knows I'm ironic and they actually know the right opinions. So he basically says, and I know if you're in that position, he might need to say, no, I'm one of the good guys. I'm just making jokes. But the truth is when Ricky Gervais says that, he's like, let's say he has a whole thing making fun of Caitlyn Jenner, like saying that she's not actually hot or whatever. Right.

Yeah. And they go, okay, they're not laughing at that because they actually know it's wrong. They're laughing at that because it's a little bit true and they know they're not supposed to laugh at it. Yeah. And there's a lot of components to the formula. One of them being, they're not supposed to one of them being like, it's a little bit true, but you're not supposed to say it.

And it's sometimes they are laughing at something that, uh, obviously not true you know like if i said like oh yeah i'm just very racist like everyone's like he's obviously being ironic or whatever yeah so but the way that they talk about it is they go no i'm playing a character and my audience is so not racist that everyone knows and it's like sometimes but sometimes you're saying uncomfortable truths and that's why you're getting like a laugh of people being like that is kind of true and they don't take credit for that and because they don't take credit for that other people kind of uh you know kind of end up having to play in a dishonest ballpark because so i'd rather some of those people just like just stay out of it if you're

gonna lie you know it's really weird i think somehow trump has become the center of the cultural universe yes dude that's why i was saying, sorry, I keep interrupting you. No, no, no. If the funnier option forever to me was Trump wins again forever. Of course. That's what I forever. I was like Trump wins again, you know, meltdowns. And then very recently I started to sort of change my brain where I go, maybe the funnier option is trump loses and just think of every like anti-trump blog every anti-trump blog you know what i mean every reply

guy on twitter that his whole identity is hating trump that i was thinking about doing a video that's actually but like the day after trump wins they're just like i guess back our bags like deletes his twitter account just walks off and just walks off into the ocean it just slowly sinks like that might be a funnier option but they're actually talking about it they're talking about the future after trump because their whole all these media companies it's just trump the i remember uh like last week trump bought the front page ad for the washington post online yeah every article trump and i'm like he Trump bought the front page ad for the Washington Post online. Yeah. Every article, Trump. And I'm like, he just bought the front page ad, dude.

You didn't need to give him every other portion of the front page. It's like you didn't even need to buy it. No, but he was trying to push back and make Biden and Kamala look bad. But that's – I mean, what – I know people who have made a career, a pathetic career, off of just hating Trump. I mean, it's the oldest trick in the book to build a media company in an election cycle or whatever. Anyone who starts a blog and all that stuff, they kind of know how you do it. But they didn't even do that this time. They didn't start media companies on an election cycle.

They started a media company on a guy. Yep. companies on a election cycle they started a media company on a guy yep you know and there were some people you know i mean there's that girl that's like getting a netflix special her whole shtick is that she lip syncs like trump's faces or whatever yeah she didn't even write jokes and whatever you want to think about it it's like what happens like to her if trump's like just gone yeah trump's like just a guy now you know think about these people it's like i have a whole youtube channel about why trump's bad now he's just a guy now. Think about these people. It's like, I have a whole YouTube channel about why Trump's bad. Now he's just a guy?

They're going to keep doing it. Yeah, they just follow him around to his house. For real. For real. Yeah. So what is this woman's name? Do you know her name? Like, look what Trump ate yesterday.

Yeah. He's racist. It's going to be like 80-year-old Trump in a wheelchair with a blanket on his lap in the sun. He's going to be sitting there, and he's going to just be like watching Fox News, and they're going to be writing articles about it. Trump reads the game. They're going to be like, did you see Trump's latest wheelchair?

Look at his nurse, his latest nurse. How old is she? 40? Trump going for the young women. How despicable. Yeah, they're going to have to pick a new guy. They're going to be like, I don't know, Pence is bad. It's not the same.

There's two things. Yeah, it's Pence. Pence is, Pence is bad. It's not the same. There's two things. Yeah, it's Pence. Pence is so boring. They're not getting the same buzz. There's two things, I think. They'll still rag on Trump. They'll try for a long time. So they'll keep it going.

The other thing is that they'll do the exact same thing they do, but without Trump. So if you look at CNN. Who's the new boogeyman after Trump's gone? No, but without Trump. So they'll, you know, like if you look at CNN. Who's the new boogeyman after Trump's gone? No, but Trumpism. It'll be about his followers. They'll maintain the same narrative and they'll just keep going after. It's like the painting exists. They'll take Trump out of it, but the whole landscape, it's still there.

Yeah. So I think what's likely to happen is you got these companies cnn their whole sunday morning program is literally like fox news all day every day and i make fun of them all the time for it because i'm like dude you realize you guys are just the fox news review channel right yeah yeah like when i when i complain about the mainstream media it's always like it's a bunch of different outlets and i'm complaining and i often say not every single journalist at these outlets of course it's these like political you know you know uh politicos in in the beltway in dc but they literally have a show where it's like the dude wrote a book about fox news yeah that's all he has that's crazy no and and and and trump but when

trump's gone they that shtick they've developed it's not going to go away i mean look russia you're familiar with russia i'm not saying necessarily it'll go away. I'm more saying that no one's going to want to watch it. So they can keep doing it, and they'll be like, we'll keep doing the plug in the model. It's like instead of being like, can you believe what Trump said? They'll just have to, you know, can you believe, I don't know, like they'll pick another guy, right? But I don't think anyone's going to care. Like what gets the clicks is Trump goes out, says some crazy stuff, you know, and then they go, look at this crazy stuff he's saying. And then the right-wing publications go, look at this crazy stuff he's saying. And then the right wing publications go, look at this crazy stuff they're saying.

It's not even about what Trump says. It's like Trump will stir up some energy and they get to write an article. They stir it up. I mean, sometimes Trump for sure. Trump loves stirring. I was almost swearing. Trump loves to stir it up. Yeah.

But there will be times where like Trump will walk into a room and go, thank you all for coming. And they'll go. And they'll be writing like, did you hear what he said? Thank you all. What is you all? Who's all? Yeah, the soccer. They're like soccer players that got injured.

Yeah, yeah. The entire CNN organization. Dude, that's the perfect way to explain it. Yeah. Trump walks in and pats him on the shoulder and CNN goes, oh! And they fall down and they're like, they're writing 50 articles. What was that one article we were talking about from The Nation? It was like they took every single possible negative stereotype about,

it was like about Ivanka or something. Yeah, so they wrote an entire article about Ivanka's dress or something. And it just like crammed keywords into this article where it was like, white nationalists think that transgender feminists in the patriarchy with red dresses and it's like it was very clearly a nonsensical article had no premise and they stuffed all the keywords into it so they could put it on google and google would prop it up yeah that's like that's the name of the game but no i think that's wild it is it is funny i'll tell you this when trump won in 2016 i laughed harder than I've laughed.

It was like one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It was because, for one, for me, it was cathartic. The Democrats getting comeuppance. They cheated Bernie. They thought they were going to win. They made fun of Trump. They mocked his supporters. Anyone puritanical, like losing the battle that they base their entire identity of is always like.

And so right right now you bring up an interesting point because I said this too I've said if Biden wins I'm just gonna laugh I'm gonna laugh really really hard yeah funny either way I think at this point I'm worried I'm worried like so I'm gonna be voting for Trump and and the riots are the main are you going full MAGA you get a MAGA beanie no MAGA

they want people want me to wear that I don't like vote I don't like I don't like supporting any tribe or any party or anything like that. But I'll tell you this. With all the riots, especially how bad how bad it was last night. The only reason the Democrats came out now, this is this is so messed up. They've been saying peaceful protests over and over again, nonstop. And then Don Lemon comes out and CNN is like, this is starting to show up in the polls.

Democrats better address it. It's like, oh, is that the only thing you cared about? Should they? That made me angry. And so, you know, seeing all this this death, 32 people have died. polls democrats better address it it's like oh is that the only thing you cared about should they that made me angry and so you know seeing all this this death 32 people have died i'm just like they keep lying about this and trump keeps saying we got to stop the violence and and when they don't do it they blame him for it and i'm like the president doesn't have the right to intervene in the states and localities that's local law enforcement and trump keeps saying please i've got law enforcement you can use them them. And they say, no,

more people die. Please, National Guard, no, more people die. Finally now, they're starting to say yes. And so that pissed me off. So now I'm like, you know what, man? I'm going to vote for Trump. I think he wants to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan. He wants to do term limits. He wants to end

the riots. He wants to prosecute these extremists. Fine, whatever. I'm done with these. I heard he was going to remove the women's vote, which is a nice... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Straight up. Number one agenda, repeal the 19th. Yeah, there is a third party, and I don't know if you know this, Tim, but I've also decided I was going to run for president as the first president exclusively

for the boys. Oh, yeah? Yeah, I don't know if you guys heard this. Men will pay no taxes, and girls will pay double the taxes. Oh, yeah, because girls have cooties. No girlfriends are allowed to take their boys' friends on Saturdays. So that's my platform. I love it.

I'm going to need you to speak to some of your friends at Google and high up places because as a Canadian, they have banned me from running. There's good news. So we're working on that detail. There was an op-ed in the Washington Post saying that we should remove the natural born citizen requirement. Yes. No, I'm like, get out of good news. We're working on that detail. There was an op ed in The Washington Post saying that we should remove the natural born citizen requirement. Yes. No, I'm like, that's the guy.

Get out of here. Get out of here. It's not as good as you not get out of here. So get back in. I do think I do think it's fun. I will. If Biden wins, I'm going to laugh because you know why? Because I'm not I'm not the kind of person who's going to like sulk and cry.

I'm going to laugh and be like, this is a crazy life. You're also like a cultural commentator. I think that your personal viewpoint is like a percentage of what you do, but I don't think that influences you entirely. Well, you know, I think everything

I say about everything is exactly what I believe. It's just raw consciousness. Yeah, but if you're talking about the facts of something, I don't know if you're well, you tell me like when you're talking about something like, do you consider that you're like, this is what I think? Or do you sometimes be like, I'm no, I'm telling you what happened? Well, yeah. So a lot of the articles I do, I'm like, here's the story.

Here's what I think. And then here's what I think. But everything I think is literally what I think. And I don't want Biden to win. I think he's I don't think he i don't want biden to win i think he's i i don't think he's all with it as worrying to me oh i mean understatement of the year for sure for sure come on man he's he's he's he's like cosmic joe he's in outer space half the time yeah dude both these guys are like a thousand years old but yeah trump's way more with it for sure for sure and and

as far as i'm concerned he's the one who's been consistent on like look we had a great first three years with the economy and so i give him credit for that he's he's he's improved a bit but anyway the point i was trying to bring up is not like to be like hey trump just to be like i'm not gonna if if trump wins i'm gonna be like wow because the thing that scares me the most is that all this wokeness stuff that we've been making fun of and laughing about it's it's infecting these government agencies. It's already happened, yeah. You know the CDC, 10% of their staff

demanded a nationwide health crisis. They want racism to be declared a nationwide health crisis. Yeah, I know. 10%. People don't realize, man, you get 10% of a staff, and I was reading a study that said

10% is all you need for an ideology to dominate a culture so if the cdc actually starts enforce enforcing this insanity it's like you've got you've got some democratic politicians calling on joe biden to condemn the people defending property not the extremists who are burning it down right that scares me and i think we're headed towards like you know dark times but i tell you what, I'm leaving where I'm at. And all you can do is, like, I think a lot of times all you can do is laugh. So if Biden won, I'd laugh.

And it's not because. That's the purpose of laughter, like, in the first place from a legitimate, you know, evolutionary level. It's like when things get too bad, it's like you can release pressure. Right, right, right, right. That's what it is, right? So either way way no matter who wins i'm gonna go out to the middle of nowhere i'm gonna get some goats and some chickens and just like kick back and grow some tomatoes or whatever that call to go to the vice one last job one last job tim open the big briefcase with one little tiny ring no but you are right like the

amount of times people kind of say you know i'm making all these videos about this stuff and this the people that are kind of wrapped up in this go oh as if it's like that and then the rest of the world messaged me like it's exactly like that yeah you know i've been working in these companies it's insane the how pervasive it is yeah i mean so unless unless we straight up say no hard no yeah and everyone kind of has but it's you know it's again it's it's hard to fight if you're a normal person because it's one thing where you say oh you know this guy disagrees with me it's another thing where they go this guy is racist and a normal person goes what i don't know i'm not and they go yeah he's transphobic and homo you're like like they don't you know if you're just some guy working at some job it's

hard to deal with this stuff if trump wins every state i think it'll be the end of the woke insurrection, whatever. Because because I think the far go the other way, though, right? Like a lot of this is a temper tantrum, right? It's like that's what I was saying. One of the things I was going to do a video about being the first president that runs exclusively on 20 year old girl opinion. The lifeblood media. Seriously, a lot of these candidates have one or, you know, 10 percent 20 year old girl opinions.

I have all 21 year old girl opinions. But it is kind of that, right? So I don't know. It's a temper tantrum. You've got a small group, but it's growing. And they are dominating our cultural institutions, our big media brands, our advertisers, our news outlets. But they don't make up anywhere near the majority.

They're probably not even – they probably just barely crack the double digits. They make up probably the majority of the institutions, you know, whether that be Hollywood, the universities. No, no, I don't think so. You don't think in the universities? Mm-mm. I think it's a strong enough percentage and they're terroristic.

And so they get what they want whenever they want. Yeah, yeah. So that's why there are professors who get fired. Because some people will stand up and say no and they'll get kicked out. Based professors. Well, Brett Weinstein. You know his story with Evergreen.

Yeah, of course. I did an interview with James Lindsay about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Brett, he's a progressive guy, but he's not insane like these people are. It is funny how guys like that kind of got thrown into the bad boy thing, but he's still wearing khaki shorts. Right, right, right. He's kind of showing up like the bad boy university professor and he's got like the polo shirt and the yeah not not not sandals and socks not considered to be like a celebrity hip guy yeah but you know he's all right right so but imagine this netflix right they put

up their their black lives matter message what do you think happens when everyone looks at the election results and it's just like Trump 50 state sweep? Then these companies are going to be like we're marketing the wrong people. Do you think that's possible? Yeah. Aren't right now

they're saying he's going to lose? But the polls are always going wrong. No, right now Trump's winning. Did it just switch? So several polls have come out recently. Trump's ahead in Wisconsin and he's trailing Biden

in 15 battleground states according to CNN by one point with a four point margin of error. So actually I think I might. It's so hard to get information right now. You turn on one thing and it's like, yeah, people are scared, dude. We got this tweet. This is from Walker Bragman. Who's this guy? He's a journalist for I don't know. I don't know the podcast, but check this out. He says August 24th, 2016 in Wisconsin, Clinton's up 11.5, Pennsylvania 9.2, North Carolina 1.7, Florida 3.6, Michigan 8, Ohio 4.8. Joe Biden's margins today are lower than Clinton's. Why did

you think this changed? Like, why did why did Trump go back up? Joe Biden's been hiding in the basement. And I'm not kidding. He's literally in his home basement. He's hiding. And the riots have been getting worse. We just had two guys killed yesterday. And Joe Biden was hiding in his basement. Donald Trump was tweeting up a storm. So you can complain about Trump, you know, in his obnoxious tweets. But he's there. Joe Biden came out with a statement today that was that was bland and nonsensical.

We must get justice for this man. And, you know, violence doesn't solve anything. John Biden comes out with a statement he's like I'd like to make a statement we here at the house are out of peanut butter if anyone please help us look fat we've got only about

two tablespoons left and my pants are wet I don't know why where's Jill poor Joe so this I have run out of denture cream My pants are wet. I don't know why. Where's Jill? Poor Joe. Poor Joe. So this- I have run out of denture cream, if anyone would be as so kind as to bring me some more.

I have a Zoom interview with Charlemagne. Trump, yeah. Trump's old, but he doesn't come off like Biden does. Biden is- I hope when I'm Trump's's age i'm that chipper yeah dude i guess what's trump 74 he's up he's spry yeah you know what i mean joe biden is like so so anyway there's a lot of reasons why uh trump's been improving in the polls there's there's two things not only is the race tightening this is probably because uh biden is in my opinion

not actually running. I mean, he's literally running, but he's not campaigning. He's not doing anything. I mean, they're buying ads, but come on. He's not making appearances. He's not rallying. He's not going out. And politics is a ground game. You've got to go out there.

You've got to meet people. You've got to shake babies and kiss hands, if you know what I mean. I'm kidding. The other way around. No, yeah, yeah. He's doing the, like, I hope Trump just screws up so bad that they're like, all right, enough of this. I think they're completely inept. I think the challenge right now for the Democrats is that you got riots where people are dying, 32 people.

The guy just got shot, we were just talking about. Yeah, well, two guys. And so you've got the far left that endorses this stuff. They love it. Yeah, they're stoked. When the looting happened in Chicago, Black Lives Matter came out and said, good, what they did was reparations. I'm glad.

Good for them. So what's Joe Biden supposed to say? The riots are bad. Then he's going to lose half of the left. He's going to lose all these young, woke far leftists. If he comes out and says the riots are good, then he's going to lose everybody to Trump.

So he's just like, I don't know what to do. so he just hides in the basement i guess the idea is i mean i kind of argued this a little bit different than what you're saying is that because i i felt a lot of people on the internet are kind of saying you know uh and i and i do see it that kamala was a bad choice but i have had some people in normal life that are kind of your middle of the road swing voters and And they see Kamala as like, oh, someone sensible. So I think there are some people that are kind of. I was talking to some family members who said that. You know what I mean? Yeah.

In the Chicago suburbs, they're looking at Kamala as like, oh, thank heavens the Democrats have brought in someone who can stop the riots. 100%. Some people see it as like, okay, she's not a crazy radical. I'm not going to vote for her. I'm here to vote for a president not for an old feeble man who's going to hire someone to do the job for him my vote is not for and i don't look i don't like amalera's i think she's awful i think she's an authoritarian and a lot of people uh like that she's going to do something and they don't like trump so i i think

you know i i don't think i think right now it's close it's a close race with trump according to these polls i think trump's in the lead based off of the Beltway bubble, which is these journalists who only follow each other. And I think the polls are skewed because they don't know how to pull Trump's base. And that's that was true in 2016. And they admit it's true today. They don't know what to do. No, you can't trust these polls as far as you can throw them.

But when when when the polls are coming out now saying Trump's within the margin of error, then it's probably he's several points up. And I just can't believe that with the riots going on for three months, I have you have you heard any C-SPAN phone calls? These people, these people call in and this this like ladies like we've had riots in my town. I'm in Minnesota and Minneapolis and the Democrats didn't say anything about it. What about us? She's like within two days of the Republican convention, I feel like there's hope again to like deal with this. And the guy on C-SPAN asked her,

are you scared of the riots? And she's like, yes. Yeah, no, some people are. They're like, you know, I mean, lots of people said this, that Trump's just going to be like, yeah, I'm just going to get things back to normal. So no one's smashing your windows.

And everyone's like, yeah, all in, dude. Like that's enough. But it's true what you're saying. Like if, you know how we're saying that if Trump gets in or Trump loses, like all these people, you're like, what did he even talk about? It's the same kind of thing. It's like if the know we're saying that if uh if trump gets in or trump loses like all these people you're like what do they even talk about it's the same kind of thing it's like if the left just said like yeah remember we got a little out of hand we're not going to do this identity

politics stuff anymore we're not going to tell everyone that they're racist everyone be like all right you're back in and then the right would be like because there's a lot of the right that's just like yo this stuff's whack so but all it takes is it wouldn't be that hard for them to do that, but they won't. Right. So it's just too ingrained. They're too crazy. People are too sick of that stuff. Gallup poll shows that the dominant wing of the Democratic Party is the the, you know, strong liberal or whatever. So the moderate and conservative Democrats of the past 10, 20, 30 years, they're gone. They probably join the Republican Party because we see that data, too. And they're not going to give it the Republican Party because we see that data, too.

And they're not going to give it up because these young people who are starting to take over are there. They're in the cult. Dude, I see so many young people. They're like 20. They don't even care about politics. There's like, yo, I'm a Trump guy. That's hilarious. Yeah.

The same way that, you know, if your parents are like your millennial parents are like Trump, the devil. If you like Trump, you're the worst. And you're like, you know, give me a mega hat. Well, there's the inverse to that. The MAGA parents and the kids being like, F you, Trump sucks. And then they go on post or tick tocks and stuff for sure. But I think it's more the other way around because the the pervasive like it it's it's different because it's everyone's it's your parents are also saying the same thing that everyone's saying yeah you know it's more like before

if you had liberal parents it's like i don't think you would have done this right exactly you know it's only it only it used to work the other way like you had the religious parents and you're like i'm actually going to be a prostitute now you've got like this 16 year old kid whose mom is like super anti-trump. Yeah, she's religious about Trump. And he walks in with a hat, and she's like, what are you doing, Bill? And he goes, shut up, Mom. Trump 2020. And she's like, oh.

I'm listening to the boss. Can you imagine, though, if you had a mom, and you came in, and you go, just so you know, there's no such thing as gender. And you're like, Mom, I'm a boy. And you're like, no, you're not. It's how messed up you'd be. Mom, I'm a boy. No no you're not you know it's how messed mom i'm a boy no you're not i do not have a son no apparently not you're like you i'm not i'm not gay you might be gay stop being a bigot yeah dude open your heart mom stop it's my girlfriend you gotta bring home your you know to that your mom comes home and she's like uh this

is my mom and she's like and he's like this this is my mom. And she's like, this is my parent. She doesn't identify as a mom or dad. Parental figure number one. You'd be so afraid to ever bring your... You would rebel against that so hard. Embarrassing you. Yeah, I would be going to school with an American flag on my back if I was that guy. You're Canadian.

Even in Canada. I'd be full in. I'd be Macho man Randy Savage with a flag on my back let's read super chats can I grab a water before we do it or any drink whatsoever can I grab it for you

that'd be awesome sweet thank you while that water's being actually let's wait we're going to sit in silence for about two minutes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get this H2O.

All right, OMG Trey says, boys, boys, boys, boys, Ryan. Boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys. Does everyone in a ska band get a Walt Jabsco tattoo? What's a Walt Jabsco tattoo? I have no idea. No, this is a selector.

I think this is... Is that because you were in a ska band? Yeah. But that's a fast-forward selector. You know, the specials and all that stuff. No, I don't know what it is. No, it's Fast Forward Selector. You know, the specials and all that stuff. No, I don't know what it is. No, it's Selector. It's like a label and like a movement of Ska.

So this is like the two-tone guy. Oh, there you go. He's skanking, if you know what that is. Yeah, skanking. It's how you dance and also what girls all do. Oh, I see how it is. Tin Man Lids, keep up the good work. Spin that UFO.

Much love from Delaware, Right across the bridge. Keep it up. Appreciate it. All right, let's see what else we got. MD Monroe says, love the work you are all doing. The race baiting by the media has hurt the fabric of the country. How do we hold the media accountable? Should we?

I'm torn due to freedom of the press, but they've turned into propaganda machines versus news. I think they're going to fade out. I think they're going to fizzle out. I think they're going to go. Because I think they're trying to master out. I think they're going to fizzle out. I think they're going to go because I think they're trying to do master race baiting. Drop the race. Wait,

well, I see how it is. Yeah. All right. All right. Right. So, so social media is meritocracy.

Your videos were good. It's great, dude. It's, it's fun that it exists, right? Yeah. Like,

I mean, you know, you get to do your thing and, and, uh, people find it and you can actually build an audience. It's, it really is changing the game. And the way that I see it, it's that it's shaking down. And

you already see it with people like you that people that are doing paywalls. And I'm, I bet you it's only a matter of time before you're kind of like, Oh, I'll have like four people on my different channels. And, and you kind of, eventually I was thinking about this. I bet you people will start these movements and you see it in podcasting, these little networks and eventually Amazon and these streaming services will kind of be like you know what we'll get the andrew schultz channel and we'll have right his five things on there and i think it's gonna go that way here's the problem with netflix or any other network you'll be able to buy the tim pool channel if any network comes to me and they're like yo we want to we want the exclusive rights to your show

i'd be like i mean look you know rogan did it with spotify yeah but i just be like why i'm i'm good well i have no boss case obviously the why is 200 200 milli oh is that what it was was that was reported yeah oh wow this is pretty public no joe messaged me personally and just told me that oh there you go we got an inside source uh no that was a pretty public information yeah i guess if an hour came to me look that changed your mind eh no no no no they get into the game late they got to drop off a bag of cash i was gonna say the inverse i was gonna say i guess if if these networks came to me and they offered me that much money i'd be like what's my freedom worth yeah i can do whatever i want mine do that that's it that's i don't know man look people don't people don't people don't realize this but like i think he negotiated a deal where he's free still. I jokingly say I'm a socialist, but I'm not – what would I do with $200 million?

Give it away? No, I know. I know people who are really wealthy, and I'm like, what do you do? What are you going to do with all that money? I'm the exact same way, dude. I've had times in my life where I – especially working in entertainment, there's always big pockets where you make a lot of money in one little chunk. I don't even go out for a nicer dinner that day.

I make zero changes. I don't wear different clothes. I don't buy a new car. I'm just not that person. Kraft macaroni and cheese, nothing in it, not even salt. Yeah, not even salt.

Wieners, Canadian style. Dude, seriously, it's like having a good day, make a bunch of money, and then I, okay, I look at it. Just put it in the bank and – Yeah, go to the comedy club and tell jokes again.

I don't know. I don't care. You know what I would do? I would – heaven forbid these uptight, stodgy moralists ever saw me get $200 million because I would like build a massive like – Beanie rack. Yes. And I would just have all different colors. No, no, no.

It would be – how do you describe it would be it would be like kind of like disneyland but for just like i don't know weird shenanigans we have like our own space you know i get like a bunch of big warehouses i'd have people just do whatever they want some people would be making like laser like laser induced plasma channels basically the warehouse from tony hawk pro skater yeah yeah you know people make music yeah i mean that's kind of what i'm doing that is dude that you're already doing that exactly but i Basically the warehouse from Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Yeah, yeah. People make music. Yeah. I mean, that's kind of what I'm doing.

You're already doing that, exactly. You don't need 200 million bucks to do that. You know the challenges with having all this money is that you can't – there is a limit to where it's like, what do you really want to do? Because I like to imagine that you make a bunch of money and you're like, now I can help people do better. Yeah. But you can't. Giving money to somebody doesn't help them do better. Giving money to someone that's doing, someone like you would.

No. I really don't believe there's any amount of money someone could give me that would improve the work I do. Well, I'll tell you a perfect example. Right now, where I'm at, there's a lot of people. And I kind of thought that too. A lot of people, I was talking about this, but a lot of people were like, oh, I want to invest in you. And you're like, invest in what? Like my SpongeBob SquarePants costume? What are you investing in?

But then there were some guys that actually came to me and they're like, let's make a movie. And it's kind of serious. And they put together this budget. And so now I might make this movie. Things like that. Obviously, most people, I get what you're saying. Most people, you'll give them money and they'll blow it and whatever. But you pick the right person. You're like like here's money funding to make a movie outside

of the system we'll pay so you can you know pick the right guy that's the silicon valley startup right i guess that's one way to put it it's not easy you know you you you try to invest in people and i think the challenge i find is yeah i've worked with a lot of people and i'll be like okay so i can i can help you do these things But if they don't fight for it and earn it themselves, you know. So I've met a lot of people who are like, I really want to do X. And then I'll be like, great, let's go. And then they just go, oh, I guess I didn't want to do it. Well, why don't you do XXX and here's the money.

Yeah. It's perfect. I got a black leather couch right over the end of the room. Oh, my gosh. Tim Poolhub. We are so far from family friendly for this episode. Really? We never swore, though.

No, but you talked about... We talked about dudes on mountaintops. Yeah. Putting on wigs. What is wrong with dudes on mountaintops? Nothing wrong with that. So anyway, the point is... Yeah, I know what you're saying.

Yeah. Unless you like want to build a town or something. You know what I would say the answer to that is? Is you need to find people that have failed at it themselves a few times and then had success at it a few times. Exactly. So it's like you have both failed and succeeded and then

replicated the success. That's who you want to invest in. I will absolutely clarify. What I mean to say is, obviously if somebody is like, you know, there's a comedian who just got evicted and now they can't find any work and they've got no cash money clearly helps them yeah succeed what i mean to say is help them succeed it just helps them you know it stabilizes

them yeah what i right what i mean to say is that if you had all this money to invest in a project it's really really difficult to find people where you can give them money and it's going to make the project happen because most people i've met and this is even true for me when I was younger, like you put me in this position, you put anyone in this position, they have no experience on how to make it happen. It's not going to happen. And so this is why investors, it's really funny, they say investors typically invest in people who don't need it.

Yeah. And that's why it's really, really difficult. And that's why it ends up with someone like Joe Rogan who doesn't need the money being like, sure, why not? Yeah, of course. So it's like, I guess. So it's rough. You so it's you want to invest people that would have been successful with or without you and you just make them the

best seller to be involved in it yeah matt cabral says love all your stuff uh love all your stuff ryan tim and lydia i'm from massachusetts and i have never seen more trump flag trump gear flags and signs trump gear flags and signs there was even a trump gear store opened i see many people coming in and out i'm calling a landslide in massachusetts for trump yeah when i was uh traveling through the um uh i don't know i guess it would not the south but i went to uh nashville and we kept stopping at places and they would be like a place that just sold like briskets and then it was a one little brisket thing and then racks and racks of trump gear i know how you have that like the biden life size yeah life-size trump posters everywhere yeah

I don't know about the raid, but I know that apparently some document came out that claimed she had connections to one of the drug dealers they were looking for or something. So I don't know if you know anything about that. Yeah, I know. I mean, it feels like I'm constantly in a loop of people being like, look at this. The cops are bad. And they're like, check out the real video.

The cops are good. Yeah, yeah. And you're like, I don't know. Sometimes it's one. Sometimes it's the other, probably. There's so many videos you guys we got we got brown and taylor uh george floyd and uh jacob blake these stories coming out all in the past couple of days that's like hey wait a minute that's not what they said yeah so it's not not necessarily that cops are are good

but that oh that was kind of just a messed up situation where everyone screwed up and it's like what do we how do we yeah a lot of times it is you know it's it's like all of the things and the problem is people want to put it all in one of the other like it isn't. They like they like to think of gender as a spectrum, but they don't like to think of people screwing up as a spectrum. Exactly. I noticed that, too. All right, let's see. Josephine Whitaker says, not my real name. Love the boys cast and Tim cast boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys.

Boom. Now, let's see. Nightingale Mori says question i heard tim uh rent ranting about being forced off the fence by dems and voting for trump also he doesn't wear the maga beanie where could i refine it and if tim allows me to work on a little animation uh yeah i was forced off the fence because i i don't i don't want to be in anybody's tribe i don't want to i don't want to like walk over to a group and be like, I'm with you. I would be like, nah, you all get away from me and leave me alone.

I do my thing. I'm going to be over here with my hippie farm. I always say that for me, it's like people – and it is true. People always want to say, are you on this side or that side? First of all, I identify as a comedian, so that's the most important thing to me. But I'm always going to be more against the side that's telling me what to do. So people always talk left and right, but it's more authoritarianism versus freedom. So if I moved here and if the right was like, listen, these are the topics you can't talk about. And they were at one point.

But right now, it's probably more the other side being like, this is what you can say. Here's the off-limit topics. I say way worse stuff about the church. And if this was 10 years ago, that would not be on TV right now. No one cares. And they're not getting mad about it. i think i think ben shapiro has the biggest conservative podcast and they make fun of him all the time and he rolls with it and laughs yeah dude i actually made a video uh that made fun of him and did he respond to it or anything yeah so i it

wasn't that crazy i was doing uh never chumper versus always chumper kind of thing right and what i said was because he always tried to find like a good thing to make fun of them with. Cause I didn't want to be like bench bruising. You know, you, what I said was, uh, watching cool guys like Ben Shapiro.

And I, he lost his virginity at 28. So I kind of, you know, I kind of like just took a dig at like some of these bad boy guys. They're like, and again, whatever,

you know, it's not like the worst. I don't think any of this stuff was that bad. If it's making fun of anyone, but then he retweeted it and he was like, actually, it was 24. Oh, my gosh. And I was like, that's pretty funny. You know, that's a pretty funny way to.

You know, there was a few people. He rolls with it. Yeah. But it's only on the right. Alex, there was. Oh, maybe it wasn't her. It was the. Oh, no, this was another right wing people.

What's the like Candace Owens? Yeah. Dave Chappelle kind of made fun of her. And people like, oh, what do you think? She rolled with it. Yeah. She was like, dave chapelle kind of made fun of her and people like oh what do you think she rolled with it yeah she was like yeah you know dave chapelle can make fun of me she said something like i'm honored to be made fun of by like one of the greatest comedians ever yeah and then she was like i'd love to talk to you at some point it's such the move dude like if someone makes fun of you especially like a comic you look like such a loser if you go look you're an idiot i'm actually cool these memes so much these memes

about me are amazing like somebody i tweeted something and then someone made a meme where it was like me in a hot air balloon but my head was the was the brain and the basket was hanging from my own head and i was in it i saved it i was like dude that's amazing and there's another one where uh it's it's me and my brain goes up and it's really small with a little beanie on it and I'm drooling. It's hilarious. Dude, I don't care, man. I'm having a good time.

You know, like I don't get bothered by these things. They make me laugh. And it's funny because like people on the right will more of a playful jab post memes and they're funny and people on the left think they're trying to get me. And I'm like, dude, that was hilarious. Yeah hilarious yeah yeah i love the blimp head brain thing it's good dude yeah because you know i gotta say i'm impressed because the left usually doesn't have good memes but they put a lot of effort into making memes about me they're funny the funny thing about the one with a little brain is that i'm wearing this old baseball tee that i wore like

two years ago that i haven't worn for two years. Because now my thing is like the shirt with the shirt over it. And so I'm like, did you make this last month about a video I did two years ago? They really put in the work. Wow. Like, they're watching my stuff. They went through the archives to find the perfect shirt to sketch you out to make fun of you. One of these woke, like, researchers. This is the craziest thing i ever heard so there's this woman and she

did this this thing where she like smeared a bunch of uh peanut butter on we're not gonna go there she smeared a bunch of people peanut butter she smeared a bunch of people and then uh it was called the alternative influence network and she claimed that like comedians were like connected from one you know link to like white nationalists. And it was the most ridiculous conspiracy nonsense. She does a follow up to it. And she says that she watched all of my videos. And I was like, do you know how much content that is?

Like 2,000 videos that are between 10 and 30 minutes long. And I was like, that means she was sitting in her apartment for like four hours a day to catch up because basically the amount of time she spent from the time she started the project the time she finished i was like dude i tweeted it i was like wow i was like i'm actually really impressed because that means you were watching probably like five hours of my content every day to catch up because i do i i was doing at the time two hours per day yeah you do a lot two hours per day now with this show it's four and i'm like so if you're gonna watch all of my content that means you'd be watching at least two hours a day double time to try and catch up to the content i was making today yeah that's how i'm like i was like

you know that's dedication that's full-time job yeah and then she wrote like this article and it wasn't even it wasn't a hit piece or anything it was like tim pool's a moderate who says these things and i'm like you watched that's a lot of work for that bad boy, huh? Man. Oh, dedicated to your art, man. There's nothing worse than the scumbags that just go through your podcast to get mad. And they find nothing.

Sometimes they find something. But I guess the goal was like, she thought she was going to find something maybe. And then it turns out like Tim's a milquetoast fence sitter who just talks about news and has tepid opinions. I guess that's not the worst. Dude, I've been having that conversation with all these industry people when they're – a lot of the first things

I'm asking people is like what would you do if – like how would you handle like if someone – if I got in this scandal and some people canceled me and blah, blah, blah. And they're like, well, no, I really like your stuff. I'm a fan. But like obviously if you said something like really offensive, I'm like, yeah, that. That's what I'm talking about.

That's what's going to happen. At the very least, they're going to say that. Not just that, but how long until the videos you've made are offensive? I mean like so obviously they're offensive to the left now. Oh, I see what you're saying. So like, dude, if you get some dude who 10 years ago – Sarah Silverman. Dude, I watched my old TV show that I did six years ago and some of the jokes I was watching, I go, whoa. If we carry on in this way where we're going now, I'd be willing to bet in a few years, oh, you're going to the Gulag, brother.

Yeah. They're going to be like this woke racist thing. How dare you? Do you want to know something really funny that I saw two days ago? So criminal – you know the show Criminal Minds? Yeah. Vaguely. so vaguely i don't know i've never said it's like svu or whatever basically it's whatever it's like cop show or whatever but there's a person that had a split personality so basically it was a man and a woman were in the same body and then the woman was killing people and then took over so it was the woman and then she was like she's not gonna let

the guy out anymore so it's just the woman and then the cops were so basically like a trans woman of this No, okay, my man and all the cops were like, come on. We know there's a guy in there somewhere Can you imagine me like tell me there's not a guy in there drinking a Coors Light and playing beer bomb let him out Okay, they were saying yeah This psychopath took over and i was just like man can you imagine that right now that was making me laugh so much the idea you're telling me there isn't a dude inside there just wait and have an arm wrestle let him out so let him out well so so here's the point ultimately like the jokes we've made on this show at a certain point if we

carry on this track people are gonna they're gonna go be like look at this podcast he did three years ago oh it's so offensive cancer you? And then on the other side, they go too far where, you know, it's like, you know, the truth is with people calling stuff gay or whatever, there was a point

where I think most people, everyone, like, people were kind of like, yo, listen, like, we don't like that word if you don't mind it. And honestly, everyone was kind of like,

yeah, yeah, we were kind of done with it anyway. And then it was like, yeah, you better not say it. And we go, yeah, I wouldn't say it. And he's like,

yeah, that's right. Because if you say it, you're in trouble. Now people are saying it. Yeah. And then every person was like, all right, now I better not say it. And we go, yeah, I wouldn't say it. And he's like, yeah, that's right. Because if you say it, you're in trouble. Now people are saying it. Yeah, and then every person was like, all right, now I have to say it. You got to say it now. And that's what happened with all this stuff. It kind of started out where it was like, hey, could you not just, you know.

And you go, yeah, yeah, no problem. But then the things got so ridiculous that everyone's like, all right, now I'm not following any of it. You know what's funny? There's a voice actress who's super anti-Trump and super woke. Yeah, I'm. Except she's done a ton of Family Guy anti-Trump and super woke. Yeah, I'm... Except she's done a ton of Family Guy. Hollywood Rarity. Comedy Central. And I'm like, I could put together probably like five hours of extreme racist, transphobic, homophobic content from this voice actress.

Right. A super compilation. And that's why it's like, don't pretend that all of a sudden you're turning a new leaf when it was only a couple years ago you were like making all of this racist content. You were doing what was in vogue then and you're doing what's in vogue now. These people have like no spines. They're followers. Exactly.

And people couldn't tell the difference. Our happy place says, we just need honest people who want to find real solutions to step forward and say enough. We need reform. We need to be objective. We need to support our police

and expect accountability. I do want to be clear about the fact that I do not care about finding real solutions. I care about making a good comedy album. And solutions are bad. Yeah. If everything was fixed, what were you going to make fun of? Everything is great. What's the deal with everything being perfect?

No, you need the chaos and the calamity so people get angry about something. What's the deal with this racial unity? I'd laugh at that. Someone's going to pull that one. Oh, boy. All right. Let's see. Matt Moran says, Hey, Tim, owed you a super chat.

Anyway, you rock. But for Ryan, dude, you are on fire this year. Great work. Work and good luck. I thought it couldn't get better. Then you released diversity and torture. That was good. Yeah, that was pretty good. It's like those people released diversity and torture. That was good. Yeah. Yeah. That was pretty good.

It was like, those people didn't know what to say, man. Yeah. I, the part that was like making me laugh the night before to myself was saying that Guantanamo Bay is a boys club. That was my favorite part.

Yeah. Yeah. I love that video. I was like, yes, I want equality in this field. Yeah. I got a couple other ones of those two coming out.

Sweet. All right. Let's see what we got. Let's do a couple more. Cause we're, we're running late. Yeah. Let's see. Private Joker says, hi, Tim. Have because we're running late. Yeah, yeah. Let's see.

Private Joker says, Hi Tim. Have you seen the coverage of the shooting last night in Kenosha? The media coverage has been heavily against the shooter, but I doubt they're telling the full story. Any thoughts? That's my general understanding, but we really do need more footage to come out. There was a deep analysis on it that's really, wow, incredible, where they isolated individuals

and traced them through the video so you can clearly see, wow, incredible, where they isolated individuals and traced them through the video so you can clearly see, like by color coordinating, that the dude who shot the guy in the head was being attacked. And then he fired in self-defense. That's the one you showed me before, right? Yeah, and then they chased him down the street. And so it really does look like, you know, hard self-defense. So glad we had so many reporters.

This is wild. Tim, someone just donated 50 bucks to my Patreon. Well, I'm honest. So your fans have started to pick up the lift bill which there you go man happy to hear it pedrick says hey tim the aussie government is about to put through a law to give big media corporations an edge by giving them youtube algorithm data and set up and up to 60 times of their ad revenue they bring in nine news network this precedent could go to the u.s please look at it oh i didn't hear that i will i will look into it so uh let's do one more uh let's see where we at do do do so how does maybe this is like a noob question yeah who cares but so

what happens if you don't read the super chat i can't read all of them so there's a bunch okay so it's like they do the super chat and you try to read as many as I can. I try to read as many as I can, you know, but it's like. But if they're in the chat, it shows up like bigger for everyone else to see. Right, right, right, right. So there is a benefit still. Yeah, definitely. So let's see what we got here. Bruva says, I'm seeing more and more of my coworkers rocking the Trump mask and making heads explode.

LOL. That is a funny move. Just show up to your normal job with the Trump mask. Yep. Do it. Funny move funny move all right let's see that chivo says are you gonna start hunting with all those new guns you you bought probably not because i work too much did you buy a bunch of guns i bought a bunch of guns i bought a bunch of smith and wesson stock because danny polish oh stock yeah yeah that's a brilliant idea he told me he was like yeah they're sold out me. He was like, yeah, but... They're sold out of everything. Yeah, that's what he said. He said it was like...

Not just them, but like stores across... I had a buddy send me a bunch of photos, and he's like, dude, all the ammo's gone. Yeah. So I'm kind of thinking like, I got to go to the store and get ammo. So you bought... What'd you buy? I can't. I'm not going to say publicly, but a bunch.

You have a bunch of guns? We have enough. A bunch. Oh, you got a compound, dude. I went in, and I was like, let's see. I'll take that one, that one, that one. Take one of each. One of those. Yes. Oh, you got a compound, dude. I went in and I was like, let's see. I'll take that one, that one, that one. Take one of each. One of those.

Ooh, I'll definitely take that one. You're like one step away from having a cult out here. No way, dude. What was the movie called? I don't want. You think I want people around me? They're going to show up and they're going to have beanies on there and be like, Tim, why don't we film?

I'm like, get out. Get away from me. You get to have sex with everyone's wife in the cult. Oh, hey. What's that movie called? I don't know. I mean, it actually happened. Get away from me. You get to have sex with everyone's wife in the cult. Oh, hey. What's that movie called? I don't know. I mean, it actually happened. What are you talking about?

But it's like a famous American story. Yeah, there was a cult. But they keep making talks about it. And they were kind of in the middle of nowhere. And the cops came. And there was like a standoff. I have no idea. Was it the Bundys?

That wasn't it. No, I don't think it was the Bundys. I can't remember. But super famous. I feel like people in the chat would even probably be saying it. I don't know if they're in real time like that. Anyways, there was this cult in the middle of somewhere, and then the police came, and they had a standoff for months,

and then they burned the place down. Was that Waco? Yes. We knew it. Oh, snap. I knew you'd get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got there together.

Yeah, I'm seeing a lot in the chat. That's W it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got there together. Yeah, I'm seeing a lot in the chat. That's Waco. Cool, thanks, guys. We got our back. Well, on that note, on a positive note, we'll wind things down. Yeah, on Waco. We'll leave it there. So we're-

Well, let's go back. Everybody's saying Waco. There it goes. Yeah, they got it. The surfer roots. Let's just ride the Waco. That's right. Yeah.
