Day 65 of this week. Jeez. Right. Yep. When is it gonna end? It'll never end. It'll never end. Yep.

A year, 18 months, I think. That's the U.S. plan. They're saying it's gonna be 18 months. That's what the U.S. is planning for. 18 months. Yep. That's nuts. Yep. What just happened on the is planning for. 18 months. Yup. That's nuts. Yup. What just happened?

We got an F in chat. Oh no. Yeah, what just? Yeah, it's not working. It should be working. I've got it pulled up right here. It's not working. It says live. What do you see on the screen? Timcast IRL. Oh yeah, we're good. Why are people complaining? They're complaining because we're a minute late.

That's rude. Whatever, man. There're good. Why are people complaining? They're complaining because we're a minute late. That's rude. Whatever, man. There we go. So anyway, everybody's freaking out because we're a minute late. Hey, come on. Oh, my gosh. It's because there's a delay. I pressed the live button the moment it comes up. You did the best.

And then YouTube has like a minute delay. Yeah, so we're here. Yeah, we're good. Yeah, we're here. People are pressing F in the chat because- What up, everybody? Yo. Thanks for worrying about us. Appreciate it. We made it. But we're here. we're good yeah we're here people people are pressing f in the chat because what up everybody yo thanks for worrying about us appreciate it but we're here a little tardy fashionably tired yeah a little bit we've been making our own bread recently yeah because because you know we're under uh we're under martial law it's good bread jackboot people stormtroopers

marching on the street i'm just kidding we're making hard tack i love that we have a skate park in our backyard we kind kind of do. We have concrete in the backyard. We have concrete in the backyard. We put some skate stuff. We can skate. We've got a mini ramp. Yeah, I know. It's a medium ramp. It's pretty good. It's not really mini. No, it's mini, dude. That's so small.

Okay, right. It would be better if it was at least four and a half feet or five feet. 16 foot across. It's pretty long. It's great i love it yeah yeah yeah we got her so so for all of you that are dealing with the current apocalypse yeah i know that there's probably i i i don't i don't i wouldn't know how to bet but i bet a lot of people don't live in cities that's true i'd be willing to bet you know most of the people are not gonna live i don't know maybe i'm wrong i could I could not imagine living in Chicago or New York right now.

I'm so happy I'm gone from New York. At least in Chicago, they still have backyards. It is now the epicenter of the U.S. coronavirus. Oh, totally. They're getting their own hospital ship. That's what I was saying. Two hospital ships. Two?

Oh, my gosh. Trump's bringing in. Two hospital ships. Yeah. That makes sense. It's cool. It's surrounded by water. It's so smart.

Yeah. But they're not for a coronavirus. What? For the regular people? Right. Yeah. That makes sense, actually. So people with coronavirus can go to the hospitals and not infect it to regular folks.

Yeah, I like it. That makes sense. Yeah, I want to get to New York now. So our lead story here, which has a lot of people concerned, disconcerted, shocking moment, exhausted Dutch health minister collapses in parliament due to fatigue from intense weeks fighting coronavirus crisis. Now, I know you can you know, you can choose to trust the official statement or you can choose to question government officials who have been repeatedly trying to downplay this. And even in my opinion, even the ones that are saying like, no, it is a bigger deal than we realize they're still

downplaying it. Yeah. So there's another story right now about Tucker Carlson, who he's the Fox News host. You know, everybody knows who he is, I guess. And apparently he was talking to somebody in intelligence who said China was lying about everything. And this is really, really bad. So he actually went down and talked to Trump and told him, like, you have to get on this. And so I guess the story is Trump just doesn't trust the media. And I

don't disagree. I totally understand why. I mean, who does trust the media? Do you trust the media? No. I know I don't. I don't trust the media. This is hilarious. There was a research study done by Edelman and they found that of like 15

different criteria the most trusted individuals on the coronavirus are scientists. Makes sense. The least trusted. Journalists. Journalists scored less than someone like me. That means you could walk up to a stranger on the street and he could be like,

so I heard there's a virus. And you'd be like, really? And if a journalist said it, they'd be like, I don't know about that. I don't trust you. Now I'll tell you what they're going to start saying in the media. It's Trump's fault for attacking the press. It's like, no, dude. Yeah, it's your fault for putting up.

So here's why I bring that up. The press has just gotten worse and worse. Well, the reason I bring this up is so we actually have the video. Let me play the video for everybody first. This is BNO Newsroom and let's just play it so you can see.

Alright, there he is right there and then boom, he just goes down. People rush over to help pick him up. So here's the thing. Why don't you tell me what the thing is? I will tell you about the thing, up. So here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Why don't you tell me what the thing is? I will tell you about the thing, brother. What is the thing?

I really want to know. We've had a series of videos of people collapsing in the street. And for the longest time, we've had tons of people saying, no, no, no, it's not coronavirus-related at all. And then it's like people wearing masks in China falling down face first. There's one video. It's creepy, man. Someone just keels just, boom, right in the ground. And's one video. It's creepy, man. Someone just kills just boom right in the ground and blood is coming out. People

are freaking out. There's one video where someone like struggles and then falls and tries to stop themselves. We had the same videos come out of Iran. And then we had one dude in Queens. Queens, right. I remember that. Now we don't know these were all coronavirus. True. But I gotta say, isn't

there like an Occam's razor on this one? You have a global pandemic, a respiratory illness that causes people to become faint and have shortness of breath. And then people pass out. I mean, two plus two equals four, right? Right. So when you see a video of this Dutch health care minister, you can just go by what they're saying. No, no, no. He's just fatigued.

He's tired. Or is this really something different? I mean, that's what they're saying, but... So they say. I don't think so. Do you think he was sick? Yeah. Yeah, man.

I think so. I mean, he... Because it's all over Europe. Yeah, he was saying that he's just been tired and fatigued. And that's possible, too. It could be true, but... It could be true. I was going to say, this is kind of exhausting.

Just to faint like that, though. Yeah. He collapsed. Yeah, man. That wasn't like, oh bad man i'm faint i gotta like yeah because i feel like if he really was fatigued he would have just you know sat down like you'd get to the point where you're like i need to sit down that looked like uncontrolled so maybe look maybe he's not taking his vitamins he might maybe he's got a bad diet people that

are that i mean working that hard first off that's we we do need people that are working that hard, first off, we do need people that are working crazy, but you're basically lowering your immune system. So if you do contract it, you're going to get hit crazy. Good point, man. So if this isn't the coronavirus and he's that weak right now, if he comes in contact with anybody, this dude's dead. Well, come on. I don't know about dead.

Hey, you're right. I don't know for certain. No, he'll be in the hospital. But he's obviously an older gentleman. He's 56. Yeah. If he's that weak that he's passing out while standing and working, he's susceptible, man. Here's what he said.

He said, quote, I was feeling faint from fatigue and intense weeks. I am feeling better now. I am going home now to rest this evening so I can return tomorrow to fight the Corona crisis, he said in a message on social media. Bruins is a top government health official in the Netherlands, where the number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus rose by 346 on Wednesday to 2051 with 58 deaths, the country's National Institute for Health said. So look at Italy, man. Yeah. 475 deaths in one day.

Dude, New York City just doubled theirs as well. Doubled their deaths. Really? What's the number? Doubled to 1871. That's the total reported cases? Yep. What about the deaths?

Not deaths. Sorry, sorry. Do you know the death numbers? I think the deaths in New York City is only like 10 or 6. Dude, when MSNBC came out, and now I guess they've done like multiple segments where it's at least Joe Scarborough being like, we must support the president. That's me being like, whoa. Like, what's happening? Dude, these people are scared if they're going to come out and support Trump. But what he was, what Scarborough was saying is that the worst case estimates are 2 million dead more than, you know, World War II,

Korea, Vietnam combined or something like that. Yeah, dude, that's, that's why people are freaking out. So anyway, check this out. I've got another video. This is a video from Wuhan hospital, patient collapses on the ground. And look, this is a verified, this is Chinese Austrian artist hunted by the Chinese. I don't know who this person is, but they're a verified Twitter user. So they have, you know, I don't know if that necessarily means they're more credible or less because journalists, you know what I mean? But what, what, you know, what am I supposed to think when I see a bunch of people wearing masks in hospital and someone passes out and we're talking about a respiratory illness. Now, the funny thing about this is that actually pulled up, there was a bunch of

videos from Snopes. And I'm actually, you know, they're criticizing the president because he was downplaying this. But Snopes and other fact-checking outlets were really, really, really downplaying this. Whenever somebody would say something like this, like, check this out, Wuhan pneumonia, they'd say, no, no, no, fake news, fake news, ignore it all. The World Health Organization tweeted mid-January, new report, new study from China shows that the coronavirus can't be transmitted person to person. And the tweet's still live. Wow. Yeah, man. And they want us to believe them. Now, here's where it gets really, really crazy. Oh, my gosh. This story really blew my mind. Tucker Carlson says Trump allies wanted to pretend coronavirus wasn't happening,

went to Mar-a-Lago to warn the president. Now that's not what I find shocking. I think it's a cool story. Good for you, Tucker, you know, going and getting the job done. But what's crazy is that apparently Tucker was talking to somebody who worked in intelligence who told him that China was lying. Check this out. Carlson said he was alerted to the danger of the new coronavirus after speaking to a nonpartisan figure in the US government with access to intelligence who claimed that the Chinese authorities were not being transparent about the outbreak, which really got my attention. Carlson talked about the outbreak in his monologue on his show on February 3rd,

but attention at the time was focused on the Iowa caucuses and that when people see everything through an ideological lens, it's very hard to get to tell a straightforward story. Oh, man. This was very, very early. Yeah. Good on Tucker calling this out. But what is disconcerting to me is that this story basically confirms. Look, I know everyone basically speculates China's lying. Yeah, yeah. I mean, we know. Look, when the World Health Organization is like, China says we're good, then it's like, now here we are.

And now it's a global pandemic. We're not good. But this just came out. People in intelligence in the U.S. government knew. Yeah, they knew. So apparently what ended up happening was Trump is hearing from all of these, you know, he's got he's got yes men around him and he's got people who just don't trust the media. So they're like, no, no, no, ignore this. And a lot of Fox personalities were saying the same thing, you know, incorrectly. But that's

the big challenge when you have, like you said, an ideological lens, you have all of these people, you know, in media who just lie all the time. So who's going to believe it? I mean my initial reaction when I saw this in China very early, like in January, was nah. Like what's it going to be? And then a week later I was like whoa. Like probably around the same time as Tucker when I was like this is getting serious. So you have the people in the U.S. government.

I don't know what advice they were giving to Trump, but he wasn't listening. He's, he's like, I don't believe it. I'm not going to buy it. People are trying to mess with me. Yeah. But if now they're saying things like, oh, we got good news. China is saying the cases are going down. You've got to be out of your mind. So wait to believe someone believes something coming out of China. What what what is this? I don't believe any of it. Why would anyone in their right mind believe them now? No, it doesn't make any sense. But this story, to me, it gives some confirmation that the US government knows that China's been lying the whole time. So if anyone in the government now comes out and says, you know, China's, you know, getting the numbers down. We're seeing the

end of this. I'm going to be like, no, you're lying. Yeah, you're lying. We got the story right here, man. Well, this was in February, though. No, no, no. Right. So this is when he was being told. So this is this story just comes told. So this story just came out. And Tucker said someone told him China was not being transparent about what was going on. I have no reason to believe they're transparent now. Or ever have been. Oh, yeah, dude. Oh, come on.

Like, literally everything out of China is a lie. They steal our IP. They've manipulated their currency to steal our manufacturing. They're just underhanded. you know, their government. It's funny. Whenever you try and criticize governments, you get bombarded with people calling you racist. It's like, dude, China's not the most racist country on the planet, man. Spare me.

I'm not interested. Yeah, so. Yeah, honestly, I feel bad for, like, the citizens of China. Yeah, the Chinese people. Yeah, like the normal. Not the CCP. The everyday people that. But they don't know, man. Yeah, exactly. I mean, like, I'm not an expert of China. Yeah, the Chinese people. Yeah, like the normal, the everyday people that... But they don't know, man.

Yeah, exactly. I mean, like I'm not an expert on China. Like I get hit up by a ton of people in the comments saying like, you should check out these channels. Yeah, that's,

you know, I've seen some of them and for sure. My understanding is, you know, because I've talked to a few people who are experts in the region, some journalists,

and they were saying that they're low income, uneducated, you know, people who just go about their daily lives. And they're just kind of like cogs in the machine. They don't, they're not super concerned

for the most part. There are a lot of people who are. But a lot of regular people are just like, leave me alone. And so the government does their thing. And as long as you don't rock the boat, you just do your thing and you live. And that's, how do you,

how do you, you know, convince someone? The worst thing about it is it's the other stuff China does, like the Uyghur camps. Yeah. At what point do we have to do something? Does the international community have to do something? I honestly don't know. It's not like – we can sanction a lot of countries. Yeah.

But – We can't really do that with China. China's too big. Well, there's something you said the other day. I think it was like a couple weeks ago. And you were saying, like, if their economy does crumble, they have two options. Ask for help or go to war. Yeah.

Right? If it really is crumbling. And now, I mean, weren't they, like, making threats? I mean, yeah. Well, so what was that EMP thing? Did you pull that out? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was something about them saying, well, if you come into our waters, we're going to EMP your ships. The waters they're basically claiming are theirs that they're stealing.

Yeah, exactly. But it's like they're almost looking for any excuse. Looking for a fight, yeah. You know, like, I dare you. Come into our waters. Dude, I think. Those are our waters, even though they're not. Yeah, right. I think we're dangerously close to an actual full-on conflict. Yeah, I dare you. Come into our waters. Dude, I think. Those are our waters, even though they're not. Yeah, right.

I think we're dangerously close to an actual full-on conflict. Yeah, I think so. I agree. I think a lot of people haven't been paying attention to the stuff that's been happening over the past several years. I bring it up often. When I was working for Fusion, there was a team of journalists there that were, I say a team, but it was a couple. They were investigating the Nicaraguan Canal. Oh, right. Now, this collapsed.

But basically, you had Chinese interests didn't want to pay for the Panama Canal. But that canal is a beast, man. You want to bring your boat all the way around South America, or you want to cut through the middle? So they were like, how much will it cost to just dig straight through Nicaragua? And that would have essentially drained one of the largest freshwater sources in Central America. And they're like, we don't care. We want to get our boats the other side.

Yeah. So I guess the project fell through. But they've been doing these things that... Undermining us, basically. Exactly. Yeah. Like, it doesn't make sense to make a new canal that would go through Nicaragua, which is like ridiculously long relative to Panama.

Right. They didn't care. They said, light it up, dump the money. So they do crazy things to manipulate their currencies to scam the system. They didn't care. They said, light it up, dump the money. So they do crazy things to manipulate their currencies to scam the system. They steal our IP. Right now, this is the craziest thing. They've been secretly giving money to academics to steal our research. And they're these academics. They're in on the take. They don't report it. They lie to the feds. Yeah, dude, we're dangerously close. I don't think people realize at a certain point. So so

here's you know, here's my worst case kind of vision of what we have. China's economy took a major, major hit and so did ours. Yeah. And that's like that's the fallout from something we can't necessarily control. But China was lying about it. Now we're going to see, you know, Trump just invoked the Defense Production Act, which means he can seize basically the whole economy. This is crazy, man. The Defense Production Act basically means he can set prices, set wages. He can just boom, do it. A lot of power, yeah. Yep, a lot of power. I mean, it's a wartime event, right? Yeah. So what happens now that we're taking all of this stuff away from China? They were undermining us. They were taking manufacturing. That was building up their economy. We take it all back. Then what? They get desperate. They get angry, facing collapse.

You know, it's possible the rich people in China just bow out. But I got to imagine there's some people in that government are going to be like, no way, I'm not giving it up. Yeah. And I'll take it by force. So I think, you know, what you end up seeing is I don't think you'll see China, you know, send a bunch of U-boats to our shores and then storm the beaches of San Diego or something. But what you will see is them increasing their push on the South China Sea into other regions, doing underhanded deals with other countries that we've sanctioned. And then eventually it gets to that point where – World War III? Yeah.

Yeah, because imagine you have the South China Sea. Let's say China starts saying, you know what you, you like the more we isolate our economies, this is, this is one of the ideas that, you know, I don't necessarily want to use the word globalist, but there are people who had this political theory that if you create free trade, you will force economic trade lines that both countries will resist being broken, you know, so which prevents war. So if we had, say, the TPP with China and all of our manufacturing is over there, war would be very difficult because it's supposed to be reciprocal. Right.

But it wasn't. So I don't know. I don't want to pretend like I know what the plan was. A lot of these politicians had, but this is something that's been talked about. If you get trade lines between the countries, both sides have an interest in not going to war. But what happens when China controls it's all one-sided and they're getting everything from it and just extracting your labor and siphoning it away?

What happens when you cut that off? It's like taking away the drug from the addict. Yeah, basically. So I don't know. Slashing their income. they don't want that they're not gonna want that and they'll go back to being a regional power so i don't know man i don't look i don't think we're we're necessarily uh you know like days away from something like that yeah but what happens if they're like now that we're not getting business we have to step

things up or they do blow up one of our ships that crosses and they've already lasered their water remember oh yeah we talked about this right they lasered one of our planes right so i don't know what that was a scanning thing yeah yeah and so the u.s was like hey don't do that man americans don't want to go to war you know what i mean no one one of the the challenges of any democratic system they're not saying we're not a democracy, we're a constitutional republic, but we use democratic institutions to send representatives to Washington. With representative government, it is very, very difficult to go to war. China? War.

Yeah, because they're a totalitarian state. Exactly. It's really easy. Yep. If they go to war with us, it'll be pretty easy to go okay we're going to war with you yeah right yeah yeah i mean you'd be surprised man so i'm i don't know like all of my world war ii history but i remember reading that they were like anti-world war ii protesters they were like we should not enter you know we should not intervene and stuff and they were

protesting that we were going over there you know you know the really crazy thing about military and stuff is that people don't seem to realize how powerful a single individual with a gun is there and it goes two ways right so you'll talk to these people a lot of like i guess i don't know more urban types okay uneducated non-military you know no experience and they'll say things like no one will go to war with us we've got you know aircraft carriers and scud missiles and blah blah blah and it's like what is that going to do we're going to level a few city blocks we're going to have air superiority those are good things don't get me wrong but you know you got to watch out because some of these countries have more manpower than we do and you can't occupy a city a street a street corner

with a scud missile yeah or i don't even. I don't even know if they use Scud missiles. I don't know. A tank. So that's one of the funny arguments about the gun control groups is that if you're really going to go up against the government, they've got missiles. And it's like, so why did we lose in Afghanistan and Vietnam? We have a bunch of farmers with guns? Dude, come on, man. The point is you get a bunch of angry people with weapons and you can actually you ever play command and conquer a little bit yeah or uh

the original warcraft yeah you know you know my strategy always was send it over right away i just pump out grunts just mass produce low level combatants and then just keep sending them in waves non-stop and you win just Just overwhelm them with little dudes. Kill their peons. That was actually, I think, what Russia did in World War II. They, instead of making good tanks, they were like, let's make tons of really bad tanks. And then they just wave after wave of really awful tanks.

And, you know, it reminds me of Futurama. I love the Futurama references, by the way. Yeah, you do. When Zap Branigan's like, I sent wave after wave of my own men until we reached the kill bot limit and they shut down.urama references, by the way. Yeah, you do. When Zap Brannigan's like, I sent wave after wave of my own men until we reached the killbot limit and they shut down. That's how we won the war. Oh, yeah. Yeah, but, you know,

in this regard, if China ends up, you know, if we really went into a war with them, I'm pretty sure their standing army is bigger than ours. But we do have technological superiority. Big time. I don't know, man. Although they have been stealing our IP ip so yep that'll be fun stealing our our technology and stuff i guess it's uh called zerg rush zerg that's when

you do that that's what everyone's saying really tim zerg rush yeah is that what it is i guess so little dudes and just send them over wave after wave after wave i remember when i first started playing like command and conquer and i'm like you got to upgrade your science and then you got to make special you know get the tiberium and then make special robots and make the better guys and then my friend actually showed me and it was like no i just look and he said click just like spamming it and just like making a bunch of what are they called gi's or it's been two decades although command and conquer came out with a mobile game recently it's pretty fun is it yeah it's not bad oh cool man it's's pretty fun So what do you think man?

Where are we at so far? It's getting to the point 18 states have deployed the National Guard Really? 18 states, wow 1500 guardsmen There's talk of the army I mean look, they just deployed the Navy to New York

Trump's got the ability to snap his fingers And increase the minimum wage But will he do it? Probably not I wonder what he will do though to New York. Trump's got the ability to snap his fingers and increase the minimum wage. But will he do it? Probably not. I wonder what he will do, though. I'm curious. What is this Defense Act really going to get? So far, I've not been good at predicting the future,

so I have no idea what he's going to do. You know what's interesting? A lot of Trump supporters are saying that this is bad for the president in a lot of ways. And I'm like, I don't think so. Not at not at all yeah especially if he comes out on top of this if he comes out on top and this ends in two months and the market skyrockets and he's like saved the day yeah dude it's gonna be you're gonna see people who you never thought being like oh i was wrong about him but it's not just that they're they shut down the canadian border oh yeah like like donald donald trump's always talking about know, immigration and we got to get a hold on immigration and all that stuff.

It's like, congratulations, because the coronavirus, boom, we shut everything down. Yeah, everything. He got what he wanted. Yeah. And now he has direct control over the economy. He's going to be able to just snap his fingers and get a lot done that he wanted to do without any impedance. That's true. And who's going to argue?

If he right now is like, we need more funding for the wall,'re gonna be like okay because what's the alternative everyone's closing their borders yeah this is a great yeah guatemala said we're not allowed in no americans oh really yeah dude this is the end of like at least for the time being globalization yeah there's not they're not gonna i mean this is the time to to put a hold on it but i hope it doesn't end you know there's not they're not going to. I mean, this is the time to to put a hold on it, but I hope it doesn't end. You know, it's not going to. Well, what we want to avoid is authoritarianism. But I think Trump is going to get everything he wants. He doesn't want a bad economy, but now he's going to have the powers to just do things without understanding his way.

That is right. And we're at a point now where we're dealing with a national emergency. Like, this is the craziest thing I've ever experienced. We can't, we're not supposed to go outside right now.

I mean, we probably could, but we might get in trouble. Yeah. New York has announced they're going to be doing a, you know, get ready because a shelter-in-place order is coming soon.

Really? Yeah, and they already did it in San Francisco where you can get in trouble if you leave your house. Oh, yeah, that's right. In France, you need a letter from the government to leave your own house. I've never seen it this crazy in my life.

Wow. Yeah, we don't have any historical precedent for this. So think about how bad it is. What would happen if Trump right now said, Mexico has been slammed, this is true, by the international community for doing nothing about the coronavirus. The president is still doing big rallies. He doesn't like all the time where he goes out and he hugs people and kisses them. Oh, my God.

There was like a video of him like biting a man on the cheek playfully. Seriously? Yeah. And the people in the country are like, no, we're fine. No, don't worry about it. It's like, we're good. They're not canceling any big events. So now Trump is going to now. Now, if Trump we're good. They're not canceling any big events. So now Trump is going to...

Now, if Trump came out and said, they're not taking the coronavirus seriously, we need to get this wall done. Yeah. Who would dare oppose him? I mean, no one. It just makes sense. You'd see some people on Twitter.

Yeah, but it feels like the majority of people are like, maybe we should have that wall now. No, no, no. There's still the stupid people on Twitter, I mean, saying things like, a wall can't stop a virus. You're so dumb. Oh, wow, Tim. Why didn't you think of that?

Because the virus is literally walking through the border. Yeah, it's like really big germs. And I expected a fence to stop them. No, it's because people carry the virus. I just imagine a cartoon of it. You ever see that? What is that? Man, I can't think of the name of the movie.

But there's this movie where these little fur balls with teeth. It's like a horror film. And when they get together, they create a bigger ball. And they just mow people down and eat them. I don't remember what it is. What's that video game where you do that? I can't remember the name of that movie. What's that video game where you roll the ball full of big things?

I never played it. I know what you're talking about, but I'm not sure. The better analogy is the Simpsons reference where the doctor's trying to explain to Mr. Burns why he can't get sick. And he has a little door, and he's like, look at these oversized novelty germs. And he smashes, he tries to get them all to go in.

Do you remember that? They're like bottlenecked. And then he does the three stooges thing. What did he call it? I don't know. I don't remember. So anyway. Critters, thank you. Thank you, Critters. All the comments are thing? Yeah, yeah. What did he call it? I don't know. I don't remember. But this is what people, so anyway. Critters, thank you. Yeah, somebody came up with it.

Critters. All the comments are screaming critters. Yes. Thank you guys. Critters. Back to the more serious. Thanks, everybody.

Thanks. No, I'm just thinking like, if it came out right now, look, these stories about Mexico not taking it seriously are, you know, getting decent shares.

So if Trump came out and said, in order to secure the country from the threat of the coronavirus, we're going to be expanding production on the border wall. Yeah, he'd have some detractors, but a lot of people would shut up. A lot of a lot of people. There's a lot of like mainstream personalities that are like fair weather anti Trumpers. OK, that it's it's really it's like I was saying the other day, it's really easy to hate the president when you're in a safety net. But now that you have the moderates of this country,

regular Americans saying, just keep me safe, now you see Joe Scarborough be like, support the president. You see Dana Bash. So their reaction is based on the fact that they don't want to defy what they think the general public wants. So if Trump now says, I know a lot of people have, you know, raised questions and criticisms about this, but you have to understand what Mexico has been doing. They've been not taking

this seriously and we need to get these numbers down. They're going to, they're going to shut up. They're not going to, they're not going to say anything as you know, because there's nothing to be gained by coming out and saying, no, no security. It would almost be like, and this is actually worrisome to me if this, if this continues with no one, you know, putting a check on like government authority, then you're going to have people being scared to question what Trump is doing because it's for national security, right? Yeah. So what happens when this all winds down? Well, hopefully it goes back to normal. Yeah, hopefully. I don't think it will. What's in this coronavirus bailout bill?

It's like $300 billion for small business loans. It's just so massive. Isn't it almost a trillion dollars? I think it's like $1.5 trillion. Yeah, $1.4 or something. So what's the national debt? $21? $22.

Some ridiculous number. Yeah, it was really ridiculous. So what's another trillion on top? We will cease to exist after this. As long as it's helping the regular people. The small businesses. Does it ever? They need help.

That's like the headline of this bill. Of course it is, dude. Like the Patriot Act. Would you dare oppose it? Until they slip in all the random things that have nothing to do with anything else. I hate that. I can't stand that. That's what they do.

That's the history of this country, man. It's ridiculous. They're going to... It's literally the Patriot Act. They give it this fancy name and say, would you vote against it? And it's this massive thing no one has read. Yeah. So I think what Rand Paul, did he vote no on this?

I believe so. I'm willing to bet Rand Paul did. I would place good money on that. He takes after his dad, Dr. No. Contra. So he just votes no on everything. I respect that. If we don't know what it is, I'm not going to vote for it.

Yeah, absolutely not. Yeah, it makes sense. And even if you do, if they're going to spend a bunch of money, he's going to vote no. But they're saying now it's going to be like $1,000 in April and May. What's that going to do, man? Yeah, $1,000 per person. That's not enough. I mean, there's some hippie living in a farm who's going to be like, cool.

And there's going to be some dude with a kid being like, what? Oh, my gosh, not enough. Yeah, man, what am I supposed to do about this? Yeah, he did vote against it. Oh, imagine my shock. He did vote against it. He voted against it. Of course he did.

Nah, I don't blame him. I like Rand Paul. Well, let's do this. Let's jump over to some super chats. And then I've got it. We got another story. This billionaire is calling for the complete shutdown of the entire government. And that I think is a billionaire saying it. Yeah. Apparently it's a billionaire saying we're going to shut up. We need to shut

it all down. He's calling on Trump to do it. Because he's saying we're going too slow. And he was like, literally, everyone stay in your home 30 days government pays for it otherwise we're gonna lose i have a point if if people can survive staying in their homes for 30 days but like you can go outside like these aren't these aren't like mandatory lockdowns where the government shows up and like get in your house no it's like you go out walk the dog you go to the store but you just don't go to you work like grocery store workers the right the unsung heroes that's right yeah i got a lot to say about that too so let's let's do the super chats first then we'll come back to this

because there's a point i want to make about there are there there are certain jobs that are necessity for society and then there are fake jobs right like ours these are fake jobs no they're not necessary you're right yeah like if if people yeah if people are facing the apocalypse the last thing they're going to say is we're building a new society we need food water and political commentators nah they're going to be like you chop wood i'm going to be like you got it buddy yeah you don't you don't need me to opine on this one yeah let's grab some of these uh super chats so uh we got a bunch i will say if uh if you want your

And we already got a bunch of new members. Yeah, thanks, everyone. Brent, Adam, Vinny, and Sword Logic.

All of you, thanks for joining. Appreciate it. Yeah, thanks. Yeah. LR Design Studios, Lori Sullivan-Roy says, who collapsed? I just joined. So that was a decent while ago, you know,

because these super chats come in earlier. But just for those that are tuning in now and curious about what the initial subject was, it was the dutch health minister was take fielding questions on the coronavirus and he collapsed mid discussion somebody was saying he might have locked his knees oh pass out when you do that i have heard of that happening bad bad timing yeah but come on but come on let's be real i know when was the last time you heard about someone collapsing when you heard about about Iran and China and government officials? Well, I literally watched an Iranian official get coronavirus on camera.

That was crazy. So I saw that. That was exciting. That's crazy. That's crazy, man. That's my Joe Rogan. Kojima says, when we all get locked down, y'all want a 1v1 me on Destiny? Adam?

Sure. On PlayStation. Podcastage says, thanks for the super chat. for all you do tim appreciate it stfu says the further adventures of kid beanie and man bun jesus you know you're so you're you're many different jesus's yeah i guess so i guess you're man bun and soy you know it's funny if you if you want you can actually look it up i i actually dressed up as jesus for a photographer friend of mine who just like dude you'd make a perfect Jesus and I'm like the only way I'm going to do this

is if you film me skating so what you're saying is that you admit to being a blasphemer I guess so for sure you can go to my YouTube channel just type my name and search it's like Jesus longboards in New York or something or in Central Park it's funny check this outesus longboards in new york or something or in central park it's

it's funny check this out we got a guy who works at a family dollar mark taylor says i work at family dollar in saint charles we stocked tp last night and ran out within an hour of opening today was also in the navy those ships suck i've never been on one dude you know what's funny is that people are still buying up toilet paper like there there was. There was a video of a guy who thought he was buying 48 rolls, and he bought 48 boxes. 12 years worth. Yeah, he built a throne. Dude, why are you people ordering all this stuff, man?

They run in and buy toilet paper, I swear to God, in a couple months it's going to be over, and they're going to have a toilet paper room. And they're going to be like, oh, where did you put the vacuum? It's in the toilet paper room. And it's a room literally just lined with toilet paper. Yeah, the toilet paper companies are like, man, this is

amazing. We're making so much money. And then for the next two years, they're just going to be like, why isn't anyone wiping their butts anymore? Here's what I imagine, right? Imagine this. There's an executive office and a top of a skyscraper. And there's a big fat guy with a double chin and a cigar.

And he's sitting around with a bunch of toilet papercraper and there's like a big fat guy with like a double chin and a cigar. The cigar, yeah. And like he's sitting around with a bunch of toilet paper executives and he pulls out a roll and he wads it up and lights it and then they use it to light their cigars

while laughing. Like a dollar bill. Yeah, like instead of burning hundreds, they're literally burning the toilet paper. There we go. John McCloud says,

had bad day, so happy for the daily dose of Beanie. Sorry, bro. Well, I've got news for everyone. Hope you feel better. These shirts have existed for a long time, but I put the link in the description below.

You can actually get a t-shirt with a beanie on it. It's literally a beanie t-shirt. Yeah, I need one of those. We need actual beanies. Yeah. But, you know, you can get it and it's this one. Yeah. Among other things.

It's not easy to find good beanies. We have an awesome picture of Emily's cat looking like it's seen the face of God. Like, and I love that picture. Yeah, you can buy that too. Yeah, that cat is creepy. She's a little weird. She is, dude.

Well, the t-shirt just shows the weirdness. I've met that cat and it's creepy. It's a creepy cat. She spies on you? Yeah. Oh, she's such a little. Like a ghost. Oh, man.

Right. Like, it's the weirdest thing. I'll be walking upstairs and there'll be like someone in the guest room and she'll be like just like around the corner peeking her head out staring at them while they sleep. Yeah. Oh yeah. It's always while I'm sleeping. That happened to you right?

Yes it happened to me. I woke up and she was like what's up and I was like oh my gosh. And it's not cute. No it's horrifying. It's like a creepy person standing next to your bed while you're sleeping and you wake up and they're like hi. What are you doing? No.

Please don't kill me. Normally it's like you wake up and the cat walks in and meows and you're like aww. What are you doing? No. Please don't kill me. Normally it's like you wake up and the cat walks in and meows and you're like, aw. But not this one. She's got like a weird face. Yeah. Emily's going to get mad.

Stop making fun of my cat. No. Never. She's a good girl. Nice try. I'm sorry. Sydney, thanks for becoming a member. Glenn says, shout out for my gf jillian who loves

your work hey appreciate it jillian and glenn i can't read this what to say eru leto 5.7 earthquake in utah this morning biggest since 92 yeah bad timing for everything for real it's the end of the world man i don't know i feel fine yeah i do too trumpel stiltskin says laowai was live earlier please get him and serpents on your show they were expats in china 14 years now living in la great show guys appreciate it um we should we should let's hit them up we made this guest spot yeah you can sit other people can sit there yeah marcello says enjoying social distancing in south germany bavaria prepared thanks to this channel. Yes. Yes.

Because we have repeatedly said, buy your supplies. Buy some stuff. No, we haven't ranted about buying your gold. Or your supplements. Or your supplements. We just said you should have some food. Yeah. And apparently some people went out and bought 800 rolls of toilet paper. We did not say to do that.

Yeah, we didn't say that. Guys, don't do that. I have a simulation theory that I think plays right didn't say that. Guys, don't do that. I have a simulation theory that I think plays right into all of this. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Toilet paper. So we've talked about simulation theory.

A little bit. I don't think we've talked about this. Maybe not on the show. Let me give you my thoughts on simulation and why I think what we're witnessing now is perfect evidence of one of my theories. Go on. now is perfect evidence of one of my theories so so uh there's three parent possibilities i see in if we're in a simulation okay the first is that you are the only conscious entity and everyone

around you is a drone yeah an npc meant to facilitate your existence okay and you as the only conscious entity are what the simulation is trying to accomplish whatever that is so the saying goes i think therefore i am not we think therefore we are so i i have no idea if you're thinking i know i am i'm pretty sure i am well you can tell me that but how am i let me check yes how am i supposed to know i'm still thinking prove it't prove it. But you trust me. No, no. No, you don't trust me? So it's also like, how would you know Dang, man. I thought we were friends.

About being sentient and thinking? Yeah. I'll never know, man. Maybe he's a robot. I'm telling you, I am. I'm mostly, you know, of course I assume most humans. I have a tattoo on my arm. I am. See? I will say most people are thinking. But so here's the point, right? How do you know if like an Android said like I'm alive?

How would you know? I am sentient. Because my stupid Amazon device tells me things. It's like you're not a thing. You're like just – it's voice activated. True. But where's that line, right? So basically that's the first idea.

The second is that some people are sentient and thinking, and many others aren't. And that's the MMO simulation theory that I like to toy around with. The idea that some percentage of human beings are conscious and cognitive and paying attention, and literally the rest are NPCs it's kind of like the npc meme you're familiar with that meme no that basically some people aren't thinking at all and they just repeat things like mindless drones it does it does seem to happen right like if you if you sadly it does if you can't think critically then there's a difference you want to know something really crazy yeah there was a study done that found something like i don't know what the number was it was some high number of percentage of

people don't have an inner monologue oh yeah i was thinking about that when i was washing my hands earlier that's crazy i was like how does that happen i mean i i well here's the thing though it's like three different things as far as i'm concerned because some people don't have any voices in their head like that's what i was reading right exactly but then what i think what an inner monologue is like reading like now i'm talking into a microphone and now i'm picking up my phone and i'm not typing my phone my phone but they can't even hear their own voice in their head that's what that's that that was my understanding it's like talking to yourself like you like not even hearing your voice but like being able to talk to yourself in your head.

Thinking in your head about what you're doing. Yeah, exactly. That blows me away. I was like, where do ideas come from if you're not thinking through things with your words? Yeah, so this is... What? Do they just see pictures? I don't know.

I do not... I want to talk to these people. Yeah, me too. So we're going to come back to this one. Yeah, we should actually bring this up. No, no, no. We're going to these people. So we're going to come back to this one. And I'll just say. We should actually bring this up. No, no, no. We're going to keep talking. I'm going to say my third point was that the third parent idea in the simulation is that

everyone is conscious. It's silly to think just because someone's smarter than someone else. Yeah. That they're not, you know, sentient or whatever. But that's, you know, so you have you are the only person. Everyone's a drone. I don't think that makes sense because I've met people smarter than me. A lot of people.

And then the last one, you know, everyone is active. You know, everyone is a conscious entity, a player in this MMO. I also don't believe because I've met people who are just like the innkeeper in an RPG. Like I kid you not, man. So I used to, I used to do fundraising for nonprofits and I got to a point where I would, I would tell people I was training. Like there are like seven distinct responses you will get from every single person. It is entirely predictable. It was freaky predictable. You would wave to somebody and say, you know, hi, how are you going? Would you like to, you know, help the environment or whatever? And I could predict exactly, you know, like seven generic responses or reactions. It was entirely predictable. And then sometimes, you know, like seven generic responses or reactions. It was entirely predictable. And then sometimes, you know, 20% of the time, someone would say or do something I didn't expect,

which is interesting. The real players. Exactly. Yeah. So I was reading something from, it was like a scientist said this a long time ago. You can probably, you guys can Google this. He said that humans are very much like electrons. 80% of the time, they're predictable. 20% of the time, it's spontaneous. And so that's why I'm not saying I definitively believe or have faith in simulation or anything like that. But the toilet paper people. The toilet paper people. The toilet paper people make me really believe that if this is a simulation, it's actually more like an MMORPG. And there's some code that went wrong?

No, no, no, no. That forced a bunch of NPCs to go get toilet paper instead of food? No, it's because they're not thinking. Yeah, it's like when someone pressed go and a bunch of random things started bouncing around a room randomly. No, because it literally, it would take five seconds to think about what you would need from a store, and toilet paper is not... It's not even in the top ten. No, for real, because it literally, it would take five seconds to think about what you would need from a store,

and toilet paper is not... It's just not even in the top ten. No. Right. It's really not. Yeah, it's... Like, imagine if they were, like, running into Ace Hardware or, like,

a Lowe's to get street cones. You'd be like, I'm very confused as to why you were all... Why are you doing this? Yeah. And so what I think it is, I think it's a cascade effect. Okay.

Where... I mean, toilet paper makes a lot more sense than street cones, though. I know. It's a little arbitrary. But why does... Do you see that video of the old ladies fighting over toilet paper? Yeah. The lady's got five packs in her cart.

I know. Why? And the other lady's like, I just want one. I just want one. And they're fighting over it. And she's like, no, no. Yep. And there's another video where people are in Australia.

Give her one. Yeah. They were flat out. Someone had a cart full of it. Boxing in the aisle. Yeah. What are you even thinking? I'm sorry.

I don't think you are. Why is it so important now? It's like somebody dropped this idea into the hive mind and everyone's like, throw the paper. That's why I'm saying NPCs, man. I think you're right. I think you might be right. So funny story. I was telling this.'ve had i've had these i have a bunch of things i consider

silly ideas and fun you know thought experiments and whatever you want to call it yeah about 10 13 years ago i was in chicago and i was talking to a friend about this and i said basically what i said just now like there's you know it could be a single player game like skyrim it could be an mmo like world of warcraft where you have npcs and's, you know, it could be a single player game like Skyrim. It could be an MMO like World of Warcraft where you have NPCs and other, and you have players, or it could be just the real world. It's regular and you know, everyone's alive. And he was like, you sound crazy. This is ridiculous. And it's funny. Cause I'm like, I'm like, you smoke pot all the time. I'd imagine that you'd be into these kinds of ideas to like sit around and talk about crazy stuff like this. But we were outside of a dorm in Chicago and I

was like, no, no, no, I'll prove it to you. Watch. And a guy was walking by and I was like, hey, dude, hey, you guys thinking? Hey, are you sentient? And he goes, no. And then we all started laughing and I was like, what? And then he just walked away. Yes.

Do you know what it means? I started, I started. Does he know what it means? My first instinct, like, does he know what it means? Probably not. I guess not. That was – Oh, no. But I started laughing. That's pretty funny, dude.

And I was like, that wasn't actually supposed to happen. That was supposed to be a joke. Way out of left field. The guy was supposed to be like, yes. Yeah, of course. Of course. But he said – That's funny.

You caught him off guard. He said no. Yeah. But here's what I started thinking. I'm like, man to be no only on the weekends is it it's it's it's just unfair of me because i assume that he knows what sentient means yeah maybe but it's it's what's weird about it is dude i'm i'm i'm a high school dropout from the south side of chicago i am not ivory tower educated silver spoon in any capacity i am not upper crust i am i am i grew up as gutter trash and i know what sentient means and i understand like not everybody knows these

things but it was weird to me that at a college well you also taught yourself how to learn i guess that's a that's not a huge thing but learning how to learn but here's what i'm saying of all of the places outside of a college dorm where these kids are supposed to be in higher learning, for someone not to know what the word sentient mean was weird to me. I can understand if you're a tradesman and you spend your days, you're not reading science books and being exposed to a lot of these things like that. Yeah, working a tough job. You go home and just pass out.

But then I think it's fair to say that my view on college is that they're NPCs. Yeah. Because think about the kind of person that would be attracted to going to a college for the most part. Not everybody. Just tell me what to think. Exactly. Tell me what to do. Tell me what I need to do.

Yeah. Tim really likes thinking. He likes thinking. He comes up with these ideas on his own. I also don't like being told what to do. Exactly. I don't either. I don't like it. What's the fun in don't like it yeah man what's the fun don't tell me what to do right i won't tell you what to do and we've and we've don't tell me what we've talked about this too like what real authority and leadership is based on how we used to play video games yeah it's true

so like uh when it comes to the example i always give is the division yeah when when we would be playing with our friends the person in charge was just the division. When we would be playing with our friends, the person in charge was just the person who took charge. Exactly, yeah. So you'd be like, hey guys, I want to do this run, so I'll tell you what to do. And we're like, you got it. No, I don't care.

There's no ego, there's no beef. There's like, I don't know, there's just weird. Somebody needs to be in charge. Yeah, exactly. And then if we were playing and your plan or my plan wasn't working, then someone else would be like, here, let me try something. We'd be like, okay. Sweet, yeah, absolutely. It's like leadership here, let me try something. We'd be like, okay. Sweet. Yeah. Like it's just, it's like leadership is.

Yeah. So whatever, whatever it is, my experience, you know, especially with colleges, they're people who are just walking mindlessly into a room and then just don't even think about it, which brings me back to the toilet paper people. That's exactly what they're doing. Now the toilet paper people aren't college graduates for the most part, I'd assume. I don't know. Not that it really matters. i would be curious to know but this is i i gotta

admit kind of freaks me out what where did where do we go wrong where someone can't be like there's a virus i should not stand in a crowd of a large crowd of people i should not wrestle with people in the shopping aisles or so what mexican president that shouldn't go out and like kiss people's cheeks i guess you know if you're a man of the people you do it but that was a well that was a fun derailment into uh unrelated are we doing super chats right now we are still taking comments we took a little break we should dive back in there no but it was fun i think i i you know look i've you think that i those ideas are crazy man i should write a book on all the crazy things so my friends used to be like so i wear contacts all the time right there was a period where you know me being like unemployed skateboarder i had the same pair of contacts

for like eight months i did that no yeah i used to do that and my eye and and what happens is the oxygen permeation gets really bad and your eyes start getting bloodshot. And so people would always be like, this dude's so stoned. And I'd be like, I'm not stoned. I don't smoke. Stop it. Until it leads to pink eye and then you're down for the count for a while.

No, you don't know. It causes capillaries in your eyes to, like, grow over the lens. Oh, no. Yeah, because your eyes need air. Yeah, you really do. Yeah, so don't do that. Don't reuse contacts. You got to get – Everyone just thought you were high. Awesome. Yeah, they always thought need air. Yeah, you really do. Yeah, so don't do that. Don't reuse contacts. You got to get... Yep.

Everyone just thought you were high. Awesome. Yeah, they always thought I was stoned. But I enjoyed hanging out with my friends when they were stoned because they'd finally talk about this stuff. I'm pretty sure everyone here knows who the stoner in the room is. Is it you? I don't know.

It's not Tim. Soy Jesus? The hippie vegan pot smoker. Oh. Dude, but we had some really cool... No comment. We had... Dude, it was always fun hanging out with the potheads because we'd end up talking

about quantum physics and space time. Yeah, cool stuff. And that's how, you know, a lot of the ideas I've come up with, like ghosts. Like, we talked about the ghost thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, just hang out with people who are like, right, it's fun stuff. It's really fun. But let's get back to the super chats because we're lagging behind.

We got some more news to go through. Yeah. We got some fun news about uh we gotta talk about the billionaire guy yes that's crazy but marvel get woke go broke oh my god woke twins this is gonna be great you're gonna love it let's uh let's read some super chats though all right i will admit though we got we're getting slammed by super chats because admittedly somehow our podcast is becoming very popular oh man the comments are crazy funny. You guys are so great. I love reading your comments.

I do, too. We have a chill audience and I love it. But we have 11,000 people. I am in shock. Oh, man. That's the highest number we've ever had. Thank you. Thanks, everyone.

Yeah, I'm stoked. You guys are here. I'm very satisfied just now. And I appreciate it. Let's read these chats. Hocticus says, Wisconsin just had 200 people get exposed by one doctor who was unaware they had it at a children's hospital. Thankfully, no at-risk kids have it.

Oh, wow. And we haven't gone out anyway. It's because, you know, we've been doing the show. So we became homebodies over the past few months. This has not really affected us. Mall owners were prepping for this for years anyway. Yeah. Malls are closing.

Yep. Wow. Alex says, hey, Tim and crew, just wanted to say thanks for giving me and my household a heads up on this craziness. We are prepped and ready. Thanks to you guys. Awesome. And we just talk about stuff. Derek says,

We'll see. We'll see. We'll see. Tord says, Corona have summoned the five horsemen of the apocalypse. Pestilence, war, famine, death, and boredom. I mean, I'm not really bored. Learn how to play magic.

Yeah, play board games. Play video games. And we were skating earlier. Yeah. I got no time for anything. It's like I get like an hour to skate, then eat, and then get ready for the show. So, you know, I'm busy. Dakota Dad says, six cases here in North Dakota.

Our first case is today. One lady hasn't left her house, traveled out of state or country. They don't know how she got it. What? You know what it is? What? It's because we're in an MMO.

No deliveries? Yeah, maybe deliveries. This woman never got a delivery of any sort? Nah. You know, milk? She went to the store? Did she go to the store? What did they say? She hasn't left her house or traveled out of the state or country. That's what I'm saying.

Did she get any deliveries at all? Maybe, maybe. That's my first instinct. But I have a better explanation. What is it? The person playing the game. The virus crossed the wall. The person playing the video game tapped her house and put like, you know, boop, boop. I wanted to know, boop I wanted to boop also I wanted to boop also SwordLogic, much love from Canada

You guys have helped my household keep a cool head with the commentary and were prepared thanks to your advice P.S. Soy Jesus used to annoy me but it turns out he's pretty cool So it turns out you can win them all I do come off different, a lot of people say that about me. At first, I didn't know about you, but you're cool.

Why is soy Jesus sticking? My buddies call me the honest a-hole because I'm so brash. I like that. It's true, yeah. I speak my mind, and I appreciate when others speak their mind. I want to know the truth. Thank you, though. I really appreciate that. Brandon says, putting together my bug-out bag for the outbreak. If it gets really bad, I want to know the truth. Yeah. So, well, thank you, though. I really appreciate that.

Brandon says, putting together my bug out bag for the outbreak. If it gets really bad, I'm heading for the mountains. Me too. Great plan. Dude, Salt Lake is so beautiful. It was trending earlier for some reason. Probably something bad. I know.

Yeah, that's because of the earthquake. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I've been through there a couple times. Yeah. Talk about beautiful, man. Man, my uncle's mountain is nestled in this valley. He owns the whole valley. Yeah, amazing. That's where I'm going. Well, so uncle's nestled in this valley. He owns the whole valley. Yeah, that's where

I'm going. Well, so here's my advice to all of you. If you're looking to bug out, the first thing you need to do is make sure

that you have a full, your 35 to 40 gallon gas tank for your conversion van is filled. And make sure the shower

and the solar panels are all working. It's going to be very important. Now, when you're setting up your PlayStation in your van, I'm kidding, by the way. He's not kidding. There is a PlayStation in his van. Yes. No, but you know, the joke is that like

most people would never be able to pull this off. They're going to be running across the bridge full speed with their kids in their hands, you know. Okay. Let's see. Chaos says, who is a world health organization is corrupted by China. Of course, they will be lying about China's situation. Hey, when the money's good, man. Extreme says, say the line, Tim. It's complicated. It's complicated. It's the line from Iron Man 3.

Oh, is that what it's from? Yeah, when they're like, tell us what's happening. He's like, hey, hey, it's complicated. It's complicated. I've only seen that movie once. Is it good? I love Iron Man 3. I don't remember it.

It's the one where... I just remember there's so many of them. It's the extremist one where the people can regenerate their limbs and it gets really hot and they're glowing. Dude, I love that one. I gotta watch that again. My favorite part is when War Machine, they're heating up the War Machine armor and he goes, alright, let's do this. And he just jumps out and then boom, right in the guy's face.

That scene is awesome. But then he gets beat up because the guy breathes fire and then he's like, whoa, and he gets punched in the face. But it's still cool when he jumps out and he boom right in the guy's face that scene is awesome but then he gets he gets beat up because the guy breathes fire and he's like whoa and he gets punched in the face but it's still cool when he jumps out of the yeah don cheeto punched him in the face nice even though don cheeto's like kind of all these people are kind of weird offline like out of the movies i don't know anything about him like they just tweet weird things like i gotta start following more people yeah loose cannons yeah a little bit yeah Yeah, like Marf Ruffalo. Marf Ruffalo. Chris Evans has actually gotten better.

He actually listened. Yeah, he went and met with a bunch of Republicans and stuff and decided to have conversations. I have a lot of respect for that. But some of these people go on Twitter, man, and I'm like, what are you saying? Yeah, this Twitter land. It's a funny place. Well, you know what it is? We didn't used to get access to everyone's shower thoughts that's really what it is that's it yeah i had someone ask me you know how is it you got so

many followers on twitter and i'm like because i like crapper thoughts i have a shower thought i'll pull up my phone and go like man what's up with this send and then i turn it off and i don't look at it and it's just my random thoughts that i'm like there you go everybody now you know what i'm thinking cough them out into the universe. Yeah, I don't look at notifications. I just ignore mentions. People tweet at me all the time. I'm like, I don't care, dude. I don't know what you're talking about.

Brent says, y'all ever consider the possibility that China was developing the Wuhan coronavirus as a bioweapon and it just got released early by accident? I don't think so. I don't. I mean, sure, it's a possibility. Yeah, but Occam's razor. Stupid don't think so. I don't. I mean, sure, it's a possibility. Yeah, but Occam's razor. Stupidity over maliciousness. Yeah, and so what was actually released, and very likely against the wishes of China, was that somebody had been doing research on bat coronaviruses, and bats bit him and then peed on him. And so he self-quarantined, and then whoop, here we are.

I think that, and that was from South China university. So I'm not saying I trust the Chinese, Chinese government. So who knows, but who knows? I mean, it's, it wreaked havoc in their country. Yeah. You know, it, it wrought havoc. Yes. Brandon Beck says coming at you from Utah, we just had a 5.7 earthquake at Salt Lake city. In your opinion, can that affect how we combat at coronavirus if it happens in a more populated city? I mean, yeah, depending on like the damage, if roads break. I don't honestly, I'm not a seismologist or a emergency preparedness expert.

So my comments only go so far. Hyperconservative says, do you think the Wim Hof breathing method would be effective in boosting your immune system against COVID-19? What is that? I have no idea what that is. Is that the ice? Yeah, yeah. The ice thing. Yeah, dunking yourself in ice to, it basically super charges your immune system. Crazy, yeah. I don't know too much about it,

but my cousin's doing it right now, and he's like an ice bear now. Oh, cool. You know we have that running oxygen I was talking about? Yeah, yeah. I wonder if that's sold out. Like if people went nuts and started buying up oxygen. I'm going to say no because that seems like something you have to be kind of technical to consider buying. Yeah.

So the average person just screams toilet paper. And probably like sleep apnea machines are sold out. I would have, even though it doesn't work as we learned from the conspire. Right, it doesn't give you more. It just continues. I'd imagine people would buy milk, bread, and eggs, but no. Toilet paper? Yeah, toilet paper.

And toilet paper. That's so... And toilet paper. And fill it up with toilet paper. Hand sanitizer. Yep, just fill it up. It's so bullshit, too. I don't get it.

So let's read some more. Swampy says, either virus way worse or Agenda 21 search event 201. Keep your name out of that. it's a pandemic exercise last october bill gates um id 2020 government takeover civil civil unrest will happen martial law will happen fema has been dispatched safe safe stay safe you know what man i used to be a hard skeptic when you'd hear alex jones being, I'm telling you the FEMA camps. And I'd be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Optimism, bias, whatever you want to call it.

It's really hard to be a skeptic right now when we're literally in the midst of one of the craziest catastrophes I've ever experienced. Like the market dropped over 10,000 points. I know. That's insane. That's a lot. It's now erased all of the gains of the Trump presidency. They're talking like New York's a ghost town. What happens next?

It's going to get worse for the next 45 days. Yeah. So like if somebody came over and was sitting here and they were like smoking, they're like, so aliens are real too. I'd be like, huh, yeah, well. They might as well drop the bomb, right? Yeah. Because this is nuts. I mean, it's not the worst.

Just give us the aliens. Why not? I'm just saying, like, if someone came to me and said something outrageous, I'd probably be like, man, at this point, I don't even know. You know what I mean? Before, I'd be like, get out of here. I don't want to hear this stuff. Now it's like, what is happening, dude? This is crazy. I mean, it's just a disaster. Disasters happen. You know what the thing is?

We've avoided this for so long it was a golden age for decades yeah dude you know all good uh this too shall pass yep so i love that saying you know the story of this too shall pass uh no it's simple it was like a king thought he was you know gonna you know uh he told a jeweler, I want you to craft me something that will make me happy when I'm sad and sad when I'm happy. And so like – I'm probably getting it wrong, but he wrote on a ring, this too shall pass. And so the king could always look at it, and he would know that in his happiest moments, this would end at some point and he'd be sad. That's good. But in his saddest moments, he would realize this too shall pass.

That's good. I love it. That's like my mantra. I've used that for a really long time. I love well mine certainly make me like made me like it a lot more yeah right and mine is that i like it yeah mine is uh you can't win them all so you know uh if at first you don't succeed try try again but remember you can't win them all so i always try my best but if you if you beat yourself up when you don't succeed then you're gonna put yourself down too much don't succeed then you're going to put yourself down too much. You need to realize you're going to lose

and that's when you've got to fight harder and win in the next round. Jim St. Armour says Hey guys, your show is massively entertaining well thought out and crucial to our cultural discourse. Keep it up. Thank you. That's so nice. I appreciate it because I honestly would just like turn the camera on and start chilling. Yeah, we're just

chilling. This is basically what we've done for years. Right. Usually while they're playing Magic. Just sat and talked about stuff. Yeah, we were watching Orville earlier. That show was amazing. Good show.

Yeah, and it's like there's a lot of – Seth MacFarlane's really nailed it with Orville. And we're talking about the philosophical concepts around a lot of what's going on in the show, time travel. They did an episode. We just watched this. And I know this is the last season. So this is like, you know, many of you, if you've watched the Orville, you've seen it already. But it's really, really amazing. There's a race called Moklins. Yeah. And they're single gender. So when a baby

is born female, they want to surgically transition it to male. Yep. And then they find a planet of females who are smuggling the female babies away and it was it was really interesting because it kind of tackled a lot of issues but not necessarily from any one real perspective it just kind of addressed the issue of child transition yeah and the morality and legality and seth and the union are completely opposed to you know surgical transition of of babies which is extreme i don't think anyone's talking about that for the most part right now yeah but what was interesting is that i'm surprised he's not getting attacked for this by you know uh by intersectional feminists

they don't watch that show right that's yeah that's what it is and he's and he's anti-trump they're not watching it so they're like oh he's good but it's cool how how he how you know he's anti-Trump for the most part. They're like, oh, he's good. But it's cool how he's really following the footsteps of the next generation. Yeah. Asking questions that kind of dance around our current political and social issues. Yeah, and it does remind me of that show. I know. It's good. He's doing better with that than they're doing with Star Wars.

Oh, I think. And Star Trek. Yeah. Yeah. And Doctor Who. Did you see Discovery? No. I watched some of it and was like, turned it off.

Oh, I liked it. Orville, I'm like, man, this is awesome. And it's funny too. Yeah, Discovery, it's not like the Orville. They tried to make it like an epic, like a Game of Thrones, like drama. That's not Star Trek. Yeah, it's. Star Trek was episodic.

Well, it's Star Trek Discovery, you know. Each of the Star Treks were different in their own way. I mean, kind of. I think my favorite one is more than the next generation was Enterprise. Star Trek Enterprise, the first one. Well, it was in the timeline, it was the first one. But it's just prequel after prequel after prequel. That was good, though.

The next generation, Deep Space Nine, I liked Voyager, but Deep Space Nine was really good. Voyager was alright. Yeah, Voyager was okay. I mean, I don't know. I like it. I think Janeway was cool.

Picard's the best. You know. I like Janeway a lot. I thought... I liked Voyager. I know a lot of people didn't like it, you know, for the most part,

but let's grab some more of these Super Chats. Yeah. Hans Salmo says, by Vietnamese, I bought 69 USD worth of dong and now I am one point. Is that, I don't know if that's real.

Is that real? If China collapses, it will be worth more. Let me see what the currency is in Vietnam. No idea. I'm very curious now. Matthew Hammond says, will countries sanction China

like they did with Germany after World War I, World War II to pay for the costs involved with coronavirus? That's why they don't want to admit it's their fault. Yep, exactly. That's it. AJ says, I remember seeing an ad 10 to 15 years ago by the Chinese business class laughing about how we were basically paying them to take our country.

Yep. Yep. Here we go. Someone called it out. The new Marvel superhero Snowflake in safe space. Yes, we're getting to that. We're going to talk about it. Oh my gosh. We're going to talk about it. Brian M says, the threat of China is one of the biggest reasons we stay in the Middle East and partner with Saudis. If we don't, then China will push in. China is buying up debt of a lot of countries and trading for land, building outposts.

It's real complex over there with Russia and China. That's scary because it's true. Yeah, it is. And this is the complexities of foreign policy that, you know, even like my biggest thing is anti-war. I'm just really, really opposed to the lengths we go to. The challenge is there's so much we don't know that I'm willing to bet Trump, Obama, Bush, whoever. They get in office, like they're campaigning saying, I'm going to do this. They get in office and the intel guy goes, oh, here you go, And hands him a folder and they look at it and open it up and go,

Whoa. And then everything changes. The office controls the president for the most part. Once they realize the classified information of what's really going on, they're like, yikes, man. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, that's why I've always been like, I just don't even want to vote for anybody, you know, because like, I don't, you know, and they can't tell us because what's being said about China, I mean, and Russia too with like the cutter turkey pipeline stuff. If people knew what was really going on, they'd be freaking out.

Yeah, I bet. Says, lazing a target gets toned, which means you are locked onto the object, which means you won't miss unless countermeasures work. So that's basically China when they lazed our ship, they were like, we could take you out right now if we wanted to. Just so you know, here's this.

Yeah, they're locked out. Gerald Borden says, in Huntsville, Alabama, AT&T is leaving open its call center. There are 500 plus people on the call floor, a single open space, all sharing air. This is a call center that only talked people out of canceling. Oh, wow.

Joseph says says what about project pogo and zephyr i have no idea no clue no idea trumple stiltskin says china has no combat experience paper tiger that could be yeah we'll see duke says considering your tactics the astra militarium needs you tim also i'm a local that safe space store ended up proving your your saying true about male feminists really Really? I don't know. So there's a, there's a local shop that's got like a safe space thing in the window. Oh,

the magic store. It's not a magic. I mean, they don't even have cards. It's so weird. What is it? Yeah. It's a game store,

but they like, don't have any cards. They like board games. It's kind of weird. Okay. Yeah. And it's like, I don't know,

man, I did not feel comfortable because like you put up a, you put up a cult like message like that. I'm not a part of your cult, man. You know what I mean? So when when you have an ideology that that talks about safe spaces and they put signs in their window. No, I'm not OK with that. Like because these people are associated with violence and I've gotten threats from them.

So that's just me. Yeah, I'm not going to feel comfortable going to a place that associates with that fringe ideology. Mine Malek says, considering how big the meme about how we are screwed when Greenland gets infected, I am surprised that no one cares now that it is. Oh, really? Greenland got it? Dude, that means the kid playing play game just won. We're in trouble. Yeah, I saw something about Greenland that said one person has it, which means like 18%. I don't know.

It's a huge number because there's only like 100,000 people who live there. Oh, wow. Some huge percentage. Greg says, from a Fed, China released this on their population to stop anti-government protests. U.S. has 100% proof. Well, when we see the proof, we'll see the proof. Yeah. Marcel DeFore says, I hope you are all staying safe.

I need to load up my Kindle for this isolation phase any recommendations any good books sort of truth is really good wheel of time wheel of time is really really good do they want fiction well i i'm a sci-fi reader yeah these are both of the things i just said are like really long 10 10 books or plus game of thrones is a fantastic series i never read game of thrones oh man i hear it's better than uh way better oh um there's there's there's there is a fantastic series. I never read Game of Thrones. Oh, man. It's a thousand pages. But I hear it's better than... Way better than the show. Oh, there's a book series that I hear is really, really good. It's like mostly fantasy.

It's about Harry Potter. Oh, what? Never read it. Harry Potter. I'm waiting to have kids. Then I'll read it with them. I think it's so cute. I love that.

What's funny is how so many of like protest signs are Harry Potter references. And like the criticism is like, dude, read a different book. It's like the only books you've read. Dragonlance, actually, old school sci-fi books. But my gaming moniker, Riverwind, is from that book. Now everyone knows and they're going to find you on PlayStation. Yeah, find me on PlayStation. Dude, no, man.

I turn on PlayStation and it's like you have 17,, find me on PlayStation. Dude, no, man. I turn on PlayStation and it's like, you have 17,000 internet site, 96 messages, and it goes like... And they just don't stop. It's just like I'm playing the game while it's chiming off

5G, huh? Interesting. Yeah. DM says, they're scared, Tim. That's why they are quiet. Well, I don't know if that's a reference to, because we've been inundated with super chats. I'm going to speed things up in a second.las report says remember when mr burns is like i'm invincible and dr hibbert says no actually the slightest gust of wind could kill invincible

I don't get it at all. Y'all are gonna get sick. Didn't something happen with like the Smurfs in France and they got sick? Yeah, I was telling you.

And he's going to show up like the lone survivor of the great, you know, coronavirus pandemic.

And he's going to be like, it was me. I was the last one they're going to cheer for him. And he's going to be like the Papa Smurf as the old man next world record. Congratulations. You made it. Rob the Butcher says, it feels good to give y'all some dough. Off-topic question.

But would you guys do some game streaming, Doom Eternal, and then like 800 exclamation points? Yeah, we're probably gonna set up a new channel for it. He keeps trying to convince me to do it. I go on and off with my gaming, though, so I'm not consistent with it. Sometimes I'm playing Magic. Sometimes I'm playing PlayStation.

And sometimes I'm playing Magic. Sometimes I'm playing PlayStation. Sometimes I'm skating. I kind of go with whatever I'm feeling. I have a routine. I wake up. I do my show. I have no routine. Actually, I do now. I have this show. It's new. It's new. It's nice to have a routine. Yeah, before it's just video games. Time to go down and talk to Tim. We were just talking upstairs. Now we're going to go downstairs and talk. And then we'll probably go back upstairs and talk to Tim. We were just talking upstairs. Now we're going to go talk downstairs. And then we'll probably go back upstairs and talk some more. Alright, so I'm going to start going through the Super Chats faster because we still

So I apologize to those if I don't read your comments, but you know, we're getting slammed. The more viewers we have, the harder it is to do. JT Brown says if there are no consequences for the Chinese government and these wet markets or politicians like Joe Biden take their money, we are screwed. Redbeard says, what's your opinion of Trump's response to the question about calling it the Chinese virus? It came from China.

It did. That's a great response. And they're trying to change. Yeah, they're trying to change the name of the Spanish flu to the 1918 flu epidemic. Stupid. It's it's insane. Stupid. It's insane. Literally. That's crazy.

It's all because right now they're like, I don't like Trump, so we're going to change history. Shut up. Yeah, seriously. So there was an interesting thing on the Wikipedia page while they're arguing over whether or not to keep the name Spanish flu. Somebody commented, if you do a Google search for 1918 flu epidemic, you get a couple hundred thousand results.

If you search for Spanish flu, you get 13 million. No one calls it this. Right. Like no one calls an epidemic by the year. Yeah, no. And so what they said was if we change this, people are going to understand. They're going to think it's a separate incident. Exactly. Spanish flu is what it's called. Yeah. I hate to say it, but names are names. True Saiyan says, tim barnes and noble has no plans to shut its stores they're actively fighting to reopen the six stores closed in san fran our local mall has three stores open everyone flooding in and touching books wow i just says all shipping is delayed multiple days instacart has more than three day delay in my area normally two hours wow and amazon is basically like it's delayed only yeah the whole foods amazon delivery is done

Fallen Snow Wolf, thanks for becoming a member. You know, someone in the comments like an hour ago said something about calling it the CCP virus. Hey, yeah, I'm down with that. Yeah, I like that. That's perfect.

Sure. It's not the Chinese people whose fault it is. How about we call it the communist coronavirus? The communist virus? Yeah, that's kind of certain. Because then we get to rag on communists. And who's going to care? Communists? But we don't care about them. We do not. They're not people.

They're not people. No, they are. I'm kidding. It's a common thought. No, actually, I want to make sure this is clear. I don't care if you're a communist. We can break bread, hang out, and have a good time as long as you're not an authoritarian. Which is really hard for a communist. Just don't tell me what to do. Right, exactly. Just don't tell me what to do. So if you're like a hippie communist who wants to go live on your own private farm with your friends and do your own thing, hey man, do your thing.

If you're the kind that wants to like, you know, I don't know, throw random people in a gulag, then we got trouble now. Yeah, yeah. Where are we at? Nula says, I want a beanie with it's complicated on it. Make it so I'd buy it. Well, we'll figure it out. But I will mention right now. Noted.

In the description is a link to shirts. I think mostly just shirts. The beanie shirt? There is a beanie shirt in that store. As well as some other logo stuff that I designed. It's a beanie shirt. It's cool, man. I think I did a good job. Can you see it? I like it. It's popping up right now. I think the beanie shirt looks cool.

So I vectorized my beanie and then it's just like on the shirt. Oh my gosh. It is literally your beanie shirt looks cool. So I vectorized my beanie, and then it's just like on the shirt. Oh, my gosh. It's cool, right? It is literally your beanie. Yeah, it is. It's great. It's cool.

I mean, you guys can all see it. It says merch. There's a link. Just click on it. The craziest thing is when I've met people, and they're like wearing the shirt, and I'm like, man, that's so crazy. Because I just like – I want it. I got to get me one of those.

I ordered one. Did you? We can like hang it up or something it's funny you gotta order me one I'm sure you get a discount right? the funny so I did it on purpose because I thought it was funny

because people kept saying like to make beanies and I was like what if I made a shirt with a beanie on it so it's like I think it's great so it's kind of like

I mean who else is known for their beanie? well soon I can't name anybody I don't know it's just you know I guess that's great

I love it alright let's read some more but yeah it's in the description you can buy your beanie shirts Richard Levina says You can't name anybody. I don't know. It's just, you know, I guess. That's great. I love it. All right, let's read some more. But yeah, it's in the description. You can buy your beanie shirts. Richard Levina says, I know we have a history not trusting emergency bills, but early estimates show 4 million people being out of work if there isn't a Fed small biz loan.

I say this as a small business owner myself with 50 employees. Baltazar, thanks for becoming a member. For the small business thing. Dude, I definitely think the government needs to do something. It's it's it's annoying to me how they're saying like, see, socialism works because the government is stepping in. No, it's what the government does in emergencies. Yeah, exactly. And it's someone I know on Facebook posted something funny. They said the government giving you back some of the money it's taken from you is not socialism. How generous. Like, this is the craziest thing to me about the people I grew up with who are, you know,

absolutely opposed to ever getting unemployment or food benefits. Okay. They're like, no, no, not for me. And I'm like, but it's your money. Like, you pay taxes, right? And they're like, I did. You got fired, right? I did.

Or you lost your job. And they're like, so file for unemployment. You literally pay into unemployment insurance. It is insurance. Yeah. So that if you lose your job, you get some money to keep going and find a new job. So file for unemployment. You literally pay into unemployment insurance. It is insurance. So that if you lose your job, you get some money to keep going and find a new job. Oh no, I couldn't do that. They're just being proud. I know. Yeah, exactly. Don't be proud.

It's hard to take help. The government took my money from me. I want it back. Give me back my money. So what? Some people abuse it though, so that's true. Jay Jones and Marcello, thanks for becoming members. Really appreciate it. Yeah, thanks. Sean Ryu, Ryu and G. Matoi. Sorry if I'm not saying your name wrong. I blasted the Twitter out.

Yep. Need camera before the zombie. Mr. Paul R. says, Klaatu Barada Nikto. Yep. Need camera before the zombie apocalypse happens. Should be able to find not much demand during end of times. I'm pretty sure Klaatu Barada Nikto is the voice command to shut down the murderous robots in The Day the Earth Stood Still. Is that it? Am I right? Can you look that up? I'm not sure. What's it called?

K-L-A-A-T-U. Barda. Klaatu Barda Nikto. K-A-A-T-U. Barda. Klaatu Barda Nikto. I thought it was Barada. Yeah, maybe they forgot the A. I don't know what language that is. It's from a sci-fi. It's from The Day the Earth Stood Still.

I think it is. I think I've only seen that once. And like the guy says it, the alien dude says it to the machine that's destroying the planet and then it stops or whatever. Wait, is that a Keanu Reeves movie? Well, he played Klaatu. Oh, I've never seen that one. Klaatu Barada.

Yeah, I've got to see that movie. Barada Nikto. I've never seen it. Yes! Nailed it. Yeah, you nailed it. Nice job. I like it.

It's a famous story, but people criticize him for being blank-faced. But I like it. I'll probably watch it later. Okay. Yeah, Klaatu Barada Nikto. We Smoke Bitcoin says, Think of how stupid the average person is and realize half of them are stupider than that. George Carlin was a prophet. Rest in peace, man. Mark Roberts,

we do. Mark Roberts says the toilet paper situation is a cascade. First, the panic buyers clean it out. Then the regular people have to panic buy just to get it.

I do look like a nice person. Yeah. It's a disguise. You look nice. Aw, thanks. Westside says, if you need any Sea-Doo parts, we got it all.

Support small biz. We took Tim's warnings and have everything we need in the brands we like. Yes. Well, my warnings were never to overbuy. It was just to get what you need for the time being. You know what I mean? Maybe buy a little bit more than you normally would.

Just a little. Just a little. Because the people who stocked up on 800 rolls of toilet paper, you've lost your minds. Yeah. Thomas Jones says, you are the first person to give me the heads up on the toilet paper issue. And it turned out to be true in a small part of Montana. Better than TYT, in my opinion. Keep up the great work. Appreciate it, man. Thanks. Marcelo Weirman. Most people only started noticing that things got real here in Europe when TP and Italian pasta vanished from Amazon Fresh.

There are some people who are just in front of things, and they're going to snatch up that TP before you know it. But how is that possible that these people were paying attention enough but not smart enough not to get other things? You know what I mean? We went shopping twice. We didn't buy toilet paper when we went. We were like, we better get bread and water.

We need to live. Oh, look, the toilet paper aisle. Yeah, we laughed. It's empty. And we were like, well, how about vitamins? And then we bought vitamins. We got all the essentials we needed. But the vitamin, we laughed. It's empty. And we were like, well, how about vitamins? And then we bought vitamins. Yeah. But like,

we got all the essentials, but the vitamin C was gone. That's true. The vitamin C was gone. Yeah. It's made in China, man. We're going to need,

we're going to eat oranges. John, uh, John Kerr says, keep up the great job guys. Makes life in the Brooklyn bunker tolerable. Appreciate it. Thank you.

ever get it. You don't even have to leave your home to catch the virus. That's true. Exactly. Was that woman getting mail? She was getting mail. That's what I'm thinking. That's what the comments are saying. Yep. J Max says, I live in AZ and we got snowfall today. That plus an earthquake in Utah and a world pandemic. If I were a religious says, I live in AZ and we got snowfall today. That plus an earthquake in Utah and a world pandemic. If I were

Eddie Bear says I lost my job as a video editor. Am not college educated. Here if you need me. Well, shoot an email. But I'm not, you know, I don't really do the video editing stuff.

So I think it's about time we go over to what may be one of the most nightmarish stories I've ever seen. I already have a headache here. Marvel introduces new warriors, safe space, and snowflake. Let that sink in. This is not a joke. I thought this was a joke. I thought

you were joking with me. When I saw this on Twitter, I was like, haha. They're making fun of Marvel for getting woke. And then I watched the video. The introductory trailer where the man explains why we're going to take back Safe Space and Snowflake and make them heroes who are apparently twins who are a tad incestuous. Okay, that's me being hyper-poly.

Let people make up their own minds. Okay. Show them the picture. I just seeded that. Let me see the picture. So first, here's Snowflake and Safe Space. Here's the first thing I want to say. If you like this, I got no beef.

By all means, buy the stuff. I'm glad you're getting content that you want. I really don't care. That's a niche market. Sure, I think so. I think it's a bad idea. My thing's always like this, though, dude. If they want to make a product like asparagus-flavored ice cream, maybe somebody will want to buy it. I'm not going to rag on someone for want of buying

buy asparagus flavored ice cream i think it's weird i wouldn't want it but in this instance i look at this and i'm like this is silly i will not buy it and when they don't make money well then maybe they'll stop doing it yeah when when you've been talking about you know make something new for for this i didn't mean this. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. It's like something cool, something like superhero. I don't know. I'm not going to think about this.

I'm just like. No, no, no, no. I'm glad. I don't know what the New Warriors is either. What is this? So the New Warriors is actually like a longstanding comic, I guess. Oh, okay. Revamping.

No, I'm totally cool with this. I'm going to criticize it. I'm going to make fun of it. We're going to rag on it. But that's just my opinion. It doesn't mean that if you like it, you know, you shouldn't and you can't go and bite if you want. Hey, man. Hey, look, we're about freedom here. You go do your thing.

Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do. Meanwhile, I'm going to be making fun of this product. I'm going to be judging this. Yep. But you made a good point. They often try and take old heroes and then turn them into woke caricatures. Right, exactly. And that's stupid.

This. Yeah, make something new. This is something new. So here's what's disconcerting. You got all these characters. This guy is apparently screen time. I guess his thing is that like. Oh, screen time.

He's connected to Google. Like, I'm not kidding. Like, I guess it's his power. Google? Yeah. Google is his power. Yeah, like it's in his brain. And so he can see memes

or something oh i see i can see what's too i don't know superpower but then you have these these people right here that are like embracing each other lovingly they are twins yeah and the weird thing is if you look at them you're like this one is clearly male and this one is clearly female oh i'm sorry this one is non-binary. That doesn't mean anything. You can't just say you're something if you're clearly, definitively female. I guess you could. You can call yourself whatever you want. Whatever, man.

That's just me. You do your thing. Careful, Tim. Careful. Well, no, I always want to make sure I'm clear that, like, I'm not – I always want people to do their thing. You know what I mean? It's funny.

It says – Oh, man. No, where did that's that line there was a line that said um most twins are psychic but we're psychic er well it's it's on the it's it's is it here yeah i think it's in there yeah yeah there it is psychic twins all twins are psychic but we're psychic here wow that's amazing writing wow what the i didn't comment on it all right so much else to talk about. I'm like, I'm not letting that go.

I'm going to bring that up and be like, what? Let's talk about their powers. Safe Space has the ability to make barriers around other people because he can make a safe space. And Snowflake can create giant or like, you know, Snowflake shurikens to throw at people, I guess. That sounds like a like a bad person's thing like you're gonna what are you gonna do with them you're gonna kill somebody

and then they're gonna melt and no one's gonna know who killed them well i mean how did this person die there's a big gash in their in their chest they bled out but how did it happen there's no weapon so the thing about it is like not every hero get away with murder like but what about wolverine you know yeah okay yeah he's got metal claws and he can slice you up that's what it does So the thing about it is, not every hero... He can get away with murder. But what about Wolverine? Yeah, okay. Yeah, he's got metal claws and he can slice you up. That's what he does. He slices people up.

And he does it well. He does. So look, I don't care about their powers. I will say that in the Marvel Universe, these are anything but Omega level. These are pathetic powers. As far as I'm concerned, the Marvel Universe died with Tony Stark. Yep. When he died. Yep. I was like, oh, cool. Well, that was a good run.

Well, the MCU at least. Okay, yeah. There's been a lot of weird stuff happening in the Marvel Universe for a while and before this. But this is like, you know, I don't want to say jumping the shark. What would be like ten times jumping the shark? Jumping the shark-nado. In space.

In space, yes. It would be like if the Fonz, so do you know what jumping the shark comes from? Yeah, space in space yes it would be like if the fawns so you know jumping the shark comes from yeah yeah yeah be like if the fawns was on the moon and he jumped over a martian shark and then when he jumped he never landed and just flew away and it started playing like started playing music and it showed him like traveling through space that's what this is like they were criticized for getting woke and making awful comics so they were like let's lean into it you thought it was bad before this is them leaning into everything hold my beer

screen time is bad snowflake is bad all of these things are bad terms they are leaning hard and they're diverse that just feels lazy to me they're just like we need something new, yes. That just feels lazy to me. I know. They're just like, we need something new. What should we do?

Who's got some ideas? Oh, I got it. Screen time. He's got the power of Google. It's like, oh, that's great. Let's just run with it. It's like, wait, what? You thought it was a good idea?

Who thought this was a good idea? Screen time. What? Let's read about these. I'm going to do air quotes for heroes. All right? It's not fair to call them heroes. There we go.

Thank you. Lucas Vecchio. A meme-obsessed super teen whose brain became connected to the internet after becoming exposed to his grandfather's experimental internet gas. Internet gas. That sounds terrible. Dude, this sounds like it's a little kid who's like five. Yeah.

And just like the internet gas and he breathed it in and now he can see memes. Do you think that's who's sitting at the table? And the guy's like, write more, write more. Oh, man. Fresh ideas. Yeah, you're great. Check it out, check it out. Now he can see augmented reality and real-time maps and can instantly Google any fact.

Does this make him effectively a genius? He sure acts like it does. No. Yikes. He sure acts like it does. No. I wanted to have teen characters who felt as now, as the New Warriors did in the 1990s, explains Kibblesmith. I got to stop right there. The dude's name is Kibblesmith. Okay, that explains everything. Kibblesmith.

Yep, he got bullied too much. Kibblesmith. Kibblesmith. It sounds very, what's the right word? Low-T, you know? Is this a video we watched? I think that's the guy. That dude is very low-T.

The new Warriors have been zeitgeist characters from the beginning. You get edgy skateboarding night thrasher in the 1990s, and the reality TV team in the 2000s, and now in 2020, we have new Warriors who have never grown up without the internet, and one character who appears to essentially live inside it. The word screen time is only ever used in a sort of restrictive sense. And because we're doing a story about teenage rebels, a lot of the names are about teens fighting against labels that are put on them. What? If you call yourself a superhero name, don't be, are you implying that

they're fighting against being called the name they want to be called? It would make sense, actually, because people are nuts these days. So with screen time, we liked the idea that he has infinite screen time. Wait, what? They like that idea? You know what I think it is? No, I think it's more obvious than this. They have

no idea what's going on. I think you're right. They have no clue. You're right. They Google searched. They went on Tumblr and they read a bunch of Tumblr and they were like let's go with it. Yeah. We're just gonna roll. People seem to want this. Here's the lovingly embraced twins who apparently

one is non-binary even though she's very clearly female with you know she's got breasts and white hair. Whoa whoa you're just assuming that's the non-binary one. No it is. Oh I don't know. Psychic twins. All twins are psychic, but we're psychicker. There's that five-year-old.

Snowflake, a cryokinetic, can materialize snowflake-shaped shuriken projectiles for throwing. Safe space can materialize pink force fields, but he can't inhabit them himself. The reflex only works if he's protecting others. They're hyper aware of modern culture and optics and see their superheroic as a post

ironic meditation on using violence to combat bullying. Oh, what? They're literally Antifa. Oh my gosh. Using violence to combat bullying. So they're bullies. Yeah, they're probably streaming this. No, okay. I'll be fair. Like if there was a bully and you socked him one, like that's a difference from, you know, being a bully and stopping a bully. Do they seem like they're not? They seem like bullies. Yeah, they do. They totally do. I mean, we'll see. Snowflake and Safe Space are the twins, the writer says, and their names are very similar to screen time. It's this idea that these are terms that get thrown around on the internet that they don't see as derogatory. They take those words and kind of wear them as

badges of honor. Well, that's because they're dorks. Yes. Safe space is a big burly sort of stereotypical jock. He can create force fields, but he can only trigger them if he's protecting somebody else. Snowflake is non-binary and goes by they, them, and has the power, or Florbo, and has the power to generate individual crystallized snowflake shaped shurikens. The connotations, you know what, I'm sorry, I gotta stop right now. As someone of Asian descent, I take serious offense to their use of the word shuriken for their weird ideology. As you should. No, I'm gonna have to call them and get this guy fired. Let's start a campaign. I'm kidding, by the way. Let's do by the way. The connotations of the word snowflake in our culture right now are something

fragile. And this is a character who is turning into something sharp. Snowflake is the person who has the more offensive power. And safe space is the person who has the more defensive power. The idea is that they would mirror each other and compliment each other. Now,

B-Negative is a vampire, and it's so lazy. You know how he gets his power? He gets a blood transfusion as a kid from Morbo. Morbius. Sorry, not Morbo. That's it. Morbius.

It's like, oh, he's a vampire. Trailblazer, the morbidly obese Native American woman. A regular kid. Regular kid. I mean, I guess in America. That's not a regular kid. Regular kid. I mean, I don't know. I guess in America. I hope that's not a regular kid. In America, you know, a regular kid scooped up into the world of teenage superheroing.

Her magic backpack is actually a pocket dimension with seemingly infinite space. That explains, you know, the size from which she can pull out useful or random objects. It's not always under her control. She claims to get her power from God, but not the God you're thinking of, because that would be offensive. She's a group, she's a group home and foster kid who is volunteering at a senior center when this mysterious threat shows up and Night Thrasher runs to the rescue. And because she helps him, she ends up in the crosshairs of this new outlawed law. Trailblazer wants to help people,

but she doesn't think of herself as a superhero yet, Kibblesmith concludes. The Marvel uni- Kibblesmith. The Marvel universe is a reflection of our own. And when a new law gets put into place, it affects people in unforeseen ways. Oh, what is she, like, undocumented or something? Probably. So here's what I love.

Like, he's right. These characters are a reflection of people today and they're trying to cater to them it's a reflection of of like the jokes the worst of people oh gosh remember when people would strive this feels like a joke still i still am having a hard time believing this is actually happening it's too early for april yeah i don't believe it i don't believe early i just it's april on mars we're reading marvel.com i can't believe this this is crazy hold on remember how like they would use they used to draw superheroes where they were they would essentially draw them as naked and then just color their bodies so you would see like contours and like

their butt cracks and everything now it's like i, I guess they still kind of do that. I mean, they're wearing skin-tight clothes, which is kind of weird. Yeah. But it was supposed to be that there was burgeoning muscles and strength, and the women were busty and beautiful. They were the paradigm. You were supposed to want to be the best. Yeah.

She's dangerously obese. She's a trailblazer, yo. But my issue with this is... How far is she getting? Aren't we supposed to be encouraging people to be healthier and do better? I thought so. Instead, we're saying, like... Oh, this is beautiful, Tim.

But, you know what's funny? Actually, no, I was gonna say, you know, there's... Rarely do you see, like, male superheroes being morbidly obese. Uh, Thor. I know, and people hated that. Yeah, it was weird. Thor in Endgame was weird. He seemed out of control. I know, and people hated that. Fat Thor in Endgame was weird. He seemed out of control. I know, and it was...

It was uncomfortable. It did not feel like a conclusion or it made no sense to me. I mean, I like Endgame for sure, but Endgame definitely felt like a so-long farewell to the MCU. Yeah, exactly. Like it was over.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. Can you imagine when they bring Trailblazer and Safe Space into the MCU? No one's gonna watch it. That would be so they bring Trailblazer and Safe Space into the MCU? No one's going to watch it. That would be so amazing. I would definitely go see it. You would?

Absolutely. Yeah, we'd have to so we can rant about it on our show. And make fun of it and throw popcorn at the screen. Smuggling alcohol into the air. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't waste popcorn, bro. Yeah, that's a good point. I'm a big fan of corn.

Dude, dude, dude. Let's be honest. I don't know if you know that about me. If these characters were made into a movie, it would bomb horribly, but I would be the first person in line to see it. I would be the first to go see it. It would be amazing. I would have to drink a little bit.

It would be so woke. Yeah. No, no, no. It would. It would be hilarious. It probably would. Like, what's the fat chick going to do? Is this a comedy?

Because that would make sense then. No, it is not. These people have very important virtues to signal. Oh, thank you. Yeah, you're welcome. Do people still buy this stuff? I don't know. I don't think so. Like, I don't think anyone actually buys this stuff.

I can't imagine that they would, right? I don't know. When Kamala's law goes into effect in the highly anticipated one-shot outlawed, superheroics will be left to the adults and underage heroes will be banned unless they have official government-assigned mentors. That's where the new warriors come in to break the law. Yeah, whatever. I mean, it sounds like they're literally Antifa. You know, we use violence to stop violence. Yeah. And also we're overweight. I take issue

with Trailblazer. I do. I'm sorry. I got to say it. I look if you want to read about Snowflake and safe safe space, it's fine. They're both physically fit-looking people. You can do or believe or call yourself whatever you want. I don't care, man. You do your thing. This is what America's all about. Pursuit of happiness. Whatever floats your boat, you know?

And they're in shape. Trailblazer's happy, Tim. Yeah, but Trailblazer is a character that's going to be encouraging young people to being accepting of unhealthy lifestyles and gluttony and hedonism she's happy so i don't see any she looks pretty sad to an extent to an extent you're correct i agree i'm playing devil's up no no no but but you're right you're right i will absolutely accept if somebody look i know a lot of people and i posted something about you know people should be fit and i got a i got you know several overweight people you know tweeting at me like being overweight. I like doing these things. And I'm like, you do you spot

on brother, but it's no one told you you can't do it. Yeah. You shouldn't be encouraging other people to do that. Right. And they acknowledge it. But listen, man, if there's somebody who in their life, they want to be overweight, they like eating the way they do. There you go. Whatever, man, do your own healthcare and do your own thing. But we should absolutely not be encouraging young people to live this way. I mean, it's going to cause, it causes cancer. It's like one of the leading causes of cancer is obesity, heart disease. Like, you will die. Yeah, exactly.

It's not good for you. What's the end result then? I don't know, man. People just live unhealthy, awful lives and encourage it more. Hopefully Marvel gets a new writer that actually reads comics. No, it's only getting worse, man. That actually knows what comics are like. It's only getting worse.

And also knows what the people want because I don't think the people want this. I do not think the people want this. This is like the 2% of – Not even. And then 2% of that. Yeah, they're like appeasing such a small it's like it's like Sanders going after the transgender vote in prison

that was Warren or Warren was going out or whatever it doesn't matter. Yeah, the war politics in the world. Why why are you going after that? Why are you going after that little market? Don't get it. You know when you safe the market is here, but you know what we got to appease these people i don't understand dude you think think about the popular comics i mean like the

mcu has been pretty good but look at how popular iron man thor and uh captain america were yeah and they were they were white males buff tall well not robert downey jr he's not buff but you know he's tony stark but he's t Stark. But he's Tony Stark. He has charisma. No, no, no. Tony Stark is a dick. That's literally who his character is. He has charisma though. He is a jerk. He's like, they made him move

like Tony Stark is supposed to be kind of a bad dude. He's a bad dude, but he's a superhero. That was kind of the point of the character. Could they make someone that was a completely detestable individual but was still the hero? Yeah. And people love it. And Robert Downey Jr. did an amazing job of it.

He was the best actor. Yeah, totally. He did such a good job. But seriously, you know, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, they're stereotypical. It's not the right word, but they're type well it's it's the hero's journey to an extent it's very predictable stuff it's classic it's and it's a white male lead and people love it they made millions and billions and billions yep and now it feels like it's kind of over i mean you know with endgame sure i you know we can say kind of ended but home uh far from home spider-man

i thought movies yeah they're great yeah so they're gonna be doing more i'm excited for that yeah i'm glad i'm excited for the next Doctor Strange stuff. Yes. If they put Snowflake in safe space anywhere near the MCU at all, I'd probably just stop going, to be honest. Yeah, no, that would be the last thing. If they made a new War Wars movie with them, I'd be like, go see it. I'd be all excited.

This is going to be hilarious. But if they insert them and try to force it into the MCU? I mean, look, Fat Thor is already bad enough. Oh, man. Like, people didn't like Dark World. I liked Dark World. I thought it was fine. Thor Dark World?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that the third one? Second one? Oh, yeah. And then Ragnarok. Yeah, that was okay. I liked Ragnarok. Yeah, I liked that one too.

But Ragnarok started is where they saw the silliness they could embrace. Yeah. And then with Endgame, they were like, let's go overboard. And it destroyed the character of Thor. Yeah. That was not his arc. He was, it's crazy to me

that his home world is destroyed and he makes it through. Yeah. Asgard is wiped out and he's fine. Yeah. And then Thanos snaps the universe and he becomes a whiny,

sniveling little baby. Yeah, true. Yeah, that's unrealistic. Nope. He was supposed to be king. Right. How could... It was like it didn't make sense for the character.

But he didn't blame himself for Asgard being destroyed, but he blamed himself because he had the chance to kill, and he didn't. But still. So, you know, I can kind of see it. I always try to look at the other side, and it's like... Yeah, but... But you're totally right, though.

That wasn't Thor-like, you know? No, it was not. was right it was just not his character yeah yeah but that's it that's his arc now it's gonna be a girl right and that's why i think the mcu is really over but didn't that actually happen in the comics and people hated it a female thor yeah jane jane foster becomes thor oh okay in the comics yes yeah it actually so now jane foster is going to be lady thor in the movie, apparently, and I guess people are gonna not like it, but... Hey, it could be good. I really like Thor films, so... Captain Marvel

made money. And if it's Taika Waititi, then I'm pretty sure it's gonna be good. So, the one thing I'll say to all this silliness, Snowflake and Safe Space... Like, I'll tell you what, man. They might as well just make a clown. And call him, like, Captain Clown. Yep as well just make a clown. And call him Captain Clown. No, just Clown.

Just Clown. My name's Clown. And he has no powers. He's just a clown. And he fights villains by throwing pies. Or a bright orange man that's orange man bad. Yeah, that's a villain. The villain is the orange man. Just go for it.

Yeah, the orange man. No, no,. Just go for it. Why not? Yeah, the orange man. No, no, no. But Snowflake in Safe Space is such a ridiculous caricature of superhero and comic characters. They may as well have just made a clown. Feels like it. The colorful cartoon, the ridiculous name, and have him throw pies. So what is this? I'll tell you what, man.

I still almost just can't believe this is even real. When I first saw this, especially the overweight woman, and then I'm going to reiterate this. I'm just going to point out again, they're lovingly embraced. It's so weird. I don't like it. They're psychic-er. That's weird.

They have a weird relationship. that's a little weird well i don't know i'm not they're not they're not normal twins yeah all right as they stated but normal twins are like this maybe maybe twinnier maybe maybe other people just know better than me but it's like if you were a fraternal twin with like a male would you like hug and embrace like that i know some twins and are they weird no they're normal people like. Are they weird? No, they're normal people. They act like friends. Yeah, they're siblings. Sometimes psychic.

Yeah, but they don't hold each other. That's weird. So weird. Marvel is just... Boo. Look, but I'll be honest though, I don't read the comics. Neither do I. Not anymore.

Right, it's been a long time. I used to. And so that's what they know. They know that you and I don't care. And so they don't care that we're making fun of it. There's going to be some Tumblr kids who are going to be like, oh, cool, non-binary. Yeah, snowflake. Shoo, shoo, I'm throwing snowflakes. Mom,

can you get me the snowflake thing so I can throw snowflakes and be non-binary? And she's going to be like, okay. He's going to go to a birthday party and someone's going to get him safe space. And they're trying to popularize it. Hey, look, I got my safe space action figure. You're now in a safe space, Tim. You're safe. I'm going to protect you.

It's going to be funny when some little girl is like, I need to start eating more if I want to be like Trailblazer. Oh, man. And then their parents are going to be like, why is she gaining so much weight? She's trying to be like her favorite hero. And then she's not going to be able to do anything close to what Trailblazer does because she's going to be overweight and unable to actually do stuff. But what does she do? She pulls stuff out of her backpack. That's amazing.

Any kid can do that. Her name is Trailblazer. This is what they're trying to do, though. They're trying to figure out how they can sell comics to the fat kids with the backpacks. Yeah, that makes sense. I guess so. Yep. That's what it's all about.

That's one of the reasons why they have this big push for diversity. It's not because they think they're morally right to do so. It's because they're like, how do we get comic books in the hands of these groups? Make characters for them. They're kind of trying to target a group that they haven't gotten before, I guess.

That makes sense. And by ostracizing all of the other people that used to like their comics. But sales are down. Okay. So here's what they're thinking. Yeah, maybe.

They don't want to be Blockbuster Video. They want to be Netflix. And that means if your sales are dropping, their attitude is like, flip the business, do something else, even if it's very different. I don't see this working. I mean, I don't. No one's going to buy this stuff.

Dora the diabetic. That's what someone said. That was a great comment. I love it. I just randomly saw that on the way through. That was funny. We're instantly banned. We're going to get in randomly saw that on the way through. That was funny. We're instantly banned. We're going to get in trouble now.

All right. Oh, that was funny. Let's grab some of these last few Super Chats, and then we're getting close to wrapping up for the day. Oh, man. Flew by. St. Miles says, the thing about the earthquake is there is no major fault in Utah. Wait, what?

I heard that there was. Google it. I have a friend who lives in Utah, and he like, yeah, there's like a fault line here. Utah fault line. You ever see that show Big O? No. I don't remember. It was a long time ago. It used to be on Adult Swim, but wasn't it something like they realized they were

in a simulation because all of a sudden the simulation erased a bunch of people or something? I can't remember. Thanos snapped. No, but it was like this guy piloted a giant robot for some reason. I don't remember. And I have no idea. Thanos snapped. No, but he was like, this guy piloted a giant robot for some reason. I don't remember. Something like that. Utah has experienced many earthquakes, large

and small, because of its abundance of faults and fault zones. Wow. Boom. That's what I was thinking. Ben Dudley says, sounds like The Division is coming true. I would concur. I keep hearing this title. I need to see this film. It's a game. It's a video game. Oh, sorry.

My bad. The True Slushy says, what's your guys' favorite activities right now? Skating. Skating. Yeah. We've been skating a lot. And Magic, I've got this love-hate relationship with it

because you've got to play with other people's decks that they make that could be not fun to play against. But skating. Skating's about you. I landed that double kickflip today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I've been skating for more than 20 years. I've basically done, like, every flip trick.

The one I've never done is a regular laser flip, and so that's a frontside 360 heel flip on flat, board spins 360 degrees, flips in the heel direction. I've never done that. So, you know, basically what i do is every time i go out every season every year i go through the list of like every possible trick and so it's true i watch them do it it's pretty crazy and sometimes i do more than my goal is to always do one per day that i haven't done yet so when i was younger it was like i got to learn a new trick today but i've basically done all of them except for laser flip which i actually think I'm getting close to. I might

actually be able to pull off because I nailed that varial heel flip. Yeah, you did. So today, you nailed the backsmith on the mini and the double kickflip off the mini into little mini bank thing we got going on. Yeah, I wish I'd recorded some of that. It was super cool. Well, we'll get to that point. We're not ready. We're not ready for that yet. I know. But the best thing about skateboarding is that you're just like in your zone it's just you you do your thing you're trying to improve yourself i like that that's what it's all about man yep it's like real life definitely tanya reed says soon the sanitation districts will shut down and everyone even the tp hoarders will be collecting their wiping tools and trash bags because we can't flush from backups of

napkins and paper towels it's like that in some countries. I remember... Or you can't flush anymore? The UK. They put up signs saying, do not flush toilet paper. And I was like, certainly they must mean if we're like blowing your nose. Right.

Because I'm not going to... No, yeah. The garbage bin was full of... Yeah. Yeah. My American sensibilities are grossed out. Well, in Brazil,

they have hoses. And what you're supposed to do after you finish is you squat over the drain in the middle of the bathtub and just spritz. I'm not kidding. That's what they do. What a sensitive way to put that. I like that. Spritz. Get cleaned up. That's a fun word. John Power says, Vice News

meet Tim Pool February 17, 2014 was just watching this on my other screen. That's a very old video. Yeah, wow. Six years ago that's right after i met or right before i met you no that was after i met you in 2013 that was after right right because it was yeah no i think it was that year actually no we met in 13 i'm pretty sure 2013 because i because i was working for vice longer in 2013 i think i don't know whatever yeah yeah bob bob says all right who forgot to knock wood after saying 2020 would be a good year?

My missus works retail in Australia and everyone has been told to bring hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes and they'll be compensated. LOL, rip retail. Oof. Yeah. Zevian Flux says,

Louisiana is starting to pop off with Kung Flu. Mardi Gras in New Orleans was what, about two weeks ago? It's funny. There's some woman claiming that someone in the White House

referred to coronavirus as Kung Flu to her face. She tweeted it. And she was like, I wonder what they're saying about it behind my back. And it's like, Kung Flu.

They're calling it. Yeah. Probably the same. Why does everyone get so angry by this? I don't get it. And she's like, come to think of it, they're calling it. Probably the same. Why does everyone get so angry by this? I don't get it. And she couldn't name who it was.

Of course. President Trump called her. Yeah, everybody was. He's like, who was that? What was the name? I don't remember their name. No, no,

that wasn't the same woman. Oh, it wasn't? It's just stupid fake rumors. Like, they just tweet random nonsense. It's not true. And they're like, and they get retweets.

It's just, everything's fake. It's all fake. It's all fake. Everything's a like, and they get retweets. It's just everything's fake. It's all fake. It's all fake. Everything's a scam. Kevin Alex says, thank you so much for talking about the woofloo every day. It's really helped here. Cool.

I mean, that's all that's in the news. Well, yeah. That's all we have. Lucky Jinxer says, Tim, work in a grocery store. It really feels like something momentous, a major change. Do you think this could lead to a major change in the world order, like more isolationist and nationalist? 100%. Absolutely. 100%. They work at the store. Is that what they said? Yeah. Hey, thank you. Unsung heroes. Yeah. Grocery store workers. The Riddler says, Tim, I believe people out of work need cash, but I fear a hyperinflation if

these checks are sent out. Lockdown must only last 30 days. Yeah. Hyperinflation for sure. We are borrowing from ourselves if we do this. From our kids? Well, from ourselves. It's only going to be a couple months. So, I mean, our kids too, for sure. One and a half trillion dollars? That's our kids. What's our national debt?

22? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Paxton says, if there is an earthquake of nine or higher along the Wasatch Fage fault it has a chance of setting off yellowstone thus ending humanity as we know it yeah that's scary bring it is it time to bring to build the bunkers we should talk about yellowstone away from yellowstone oh there's no point no really why not today yellowstone yeah we're all dead everyone in the world why yeah no let's let's talk about it tomorrow yeah but but it's because it's going to put stuff into the atmosphere

right and it's going to like kill farming and stuff yeah it's going to cloud out the sun so build a bunker underground wait until it goes away that's what people are doing those rich people are doing it and then you live underground oh yeah I'm planting mushrooms

I'm growing dark chickens we'll all be like Gollum scavenging around in caves and like eating mushrooms and like licking the walls. With like one hair left. Beats being dead, right? Yeah. It's true. I don't know. Some things are worse than death, huh? Yes.

Shun Ryu NG Matai. Matoi. Looks like Steven Universe characters on steroids. And then they fuse and call themselves Snowflake Safe Space. He says Daniel Kibblesmith is the writer I understand now.

Kibblesmith. Such a weird name. It's so random. It really does, when I think of that name it reminds me of like a pastel colored room with like Is that an actual last name? It reminds me of dog food. I don't believe it's real.

You know why? Kibbles and bits. Because last names are derivative of what people would do for work. Okay. Kibble. Yeah. Did they make dog food? Yeah.

Is this a guy who like his family is known of like making puppy chow or something? Are you like a pool maker? Pool? Clean, cleaning pool? Actually, my last name is Dutch Vanderpool. Oh, Vanderpool. And they dropped the Vander

for some reason. Mine is crazy Quiggler. It's German. Sounds German. Squiggler. I love it.

What? Squiggler? Squiggler. You know why so many people are named Smith? No. You know why

there's so many people named Smith? I do. Because they couldn't pronounce the names when they came over and it was your Smith now names because in the wars in Europe the people who wouldn't be sent to war and the people

would be spared were the blacksmiths so when an invading force came in they would spare the Smiths because they needed weapons and when the war started no one would send out the Smiths because they need weapons so everyone else died and the Smiths lived and the Smiths survived

that makes sense The Hylian Juggalo says Original character Donut Steel Bert Bargo says I bet Adam could beat up Kibble Smith no problem Yeah I don't know why you'd want to I got no beef with the guy

I just think he wrote some dumb characters I'm peaceful man Until you tell me what to do that's right and then it's on i i i got no issue if if we end up like i don't like this guy's work it's nothing about him personally you know so i'll make fun of him or whatever but you know in the end if like i'm sure if we had a burger together it'd be no big deal yeah unless he gets really offended and he's a snowflake i don't know he might because some of these people they can't and he's a snowflake. I don't know. Unless he is a snowflake.

The term snowflake and not his superhero snowflake. St. Miles, he starts throwing shriekins at you. Thanks for the... Is that someone vomiting? Is that a vomit emoji? Looks like it.
