Starting point is 00:00:59 but based on the title of this episode, Twitter is Dead is a figure of speech. Engagement is way down. And I noticed this earlier. People have been talking about it for several weeks. And people have been talking about how if you lock your profile on Twitter, you'll get more engagement. That doesn't seem to make sense to me. Something's wrong with the machine.
Starting point is 00:01:19 And we had this story, this Twitter thread from Dave Rubin last week where he talked about the fractal Rube Goldberg machine that was Twitter, and that there were actually secret codes, new codes, that were censoring conservatives that were censoring people like Dave Rubin. So the reason why I say it's dead is because two things happened. Engagement disappeared. Something happened in the
Starting point is 00:01:40 algorithm a couple weeks ago where all of a sudden people stopped getting comments, replies, they stopped getting retweets, stopped getting quote tweets, they stopped getting likes. And everybody said, yo, what's going on? It feels like Twitter is dying. People aren't engaging anymore. Maybe everybody stays Twitter now. I doubt it. Something changed in the system. Today, everyone started locking their accounts en masse. And there's just, I don't know, I unfollowed maybe like two dozen people. And I didn't unfollow them because I'm mad at them. They locked their accounts. I can see their tweets, but I can't engage. I can't share the tweet. I can't let other people know like, hey, this thing is happening.
Starting point is 00:02:15 All of the quote tweets I already had from these people, gone. Quote tweets from people I didn't follow before, gone. Locking their accounts. I'm sorry. Whatever is going on, the platform is in a dire situation right now. So let me just add, it's a slow news day, did you notice? But we'll talk about this because we do have the Twitter thread from Dave Rubin we didn't get into on the show last week. And then I'll just show you the general reaction from a lot of people as to what's going on and what it means. If people aren't getting engagement on the platform, they're going to stop using it. So we'll see. I mean, what do people do to migrate to TikTok or something?
Starting point is 00:02:50 We do have a bunch of other stories. I mean, there's creepy stuff about Joe Biden. We can talk about that. But we have some more interesting cultural stuff. We got a personality for PragerU went into YouTube, signed up and said they were a young child. And what they were fed was a bunch of weird consent, queer consent videos, like telling nine through 12 year olds about how they can consent. If you know, like, yeah, no, like,
Starting point is 00:03:12 so that's just kind of weird. So we'll talk about that. Plus we have, we got to talk about this MSNBC thing. This MSNBC host who says that she got a cold in December and then felt pain in her heart. Turned out she had pericarditis. The doctor said it was from a first said she had reflux. It's been a month and a half.
Starting point is 00:03:31 And she says she still has now myocarditis or some kind of heart issue. And it's like if it was from a cold, can a can the common cold cause myocarditis for a month and a half? Like you still have this cold. So this is interesting because MSNBC dedicated a full segment to this and brought in a doctor to talk about it. And it's making people talk about these wild theories about what really happened. So we'll get into that. But before we get started, my friends, head over to TimCast.com. Become a member to support our work.

Starting point is 00:04:41 Glad to be here, guys. Before we get started, first off, can we bow our heads? We need to say a prayer for all of my brothers out there in relationships with Latinas. Why is that? Trust me. You'll want to say the prayer. All right. Amen. Okay, there we go. What is that about? What's going on? Spicy Latinas are a thing, man.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Like I said, again. Okay. I thought that was like something in the news or something happening. Okay. Oh, no, no, no. So who are you, man? What are you doing? So my name is Malcolm Flicks.
Starting point is 00:05:14 I am what you could call a high-capacity assault shitposter. Oh, wow. I know. And now I am a shitpost analyst. But no, I'm just a normal bro, man. I do fighting. I do football pretty much. You know, politics, science.
Starting point is 00:05:31 You name it. Yeah, the science stuff. You were talking about, we were talking about pericarditis and myocarditis a moment ago. And you were talking about a bunch of stuff I didn't understand. But we can get into all that with the MSNBC story. Yeah, you're not a doctor, but you have massive medical experience. You work as a, what is the title of your role? Pretty much MSL, so Medical Science Liaison.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Yeah, that's fascinating. You can carry that mic around, take it up and down so you don't have to lean over any time. Yeah, man, it's cool. We'll talk about it. Thanks for hanging out. We've got Hannah Clare Brimelow hanging out. Hi, I'm Hannah Clare Brimelow. I'm a writer for TimCast.com.
Starting point is 00:06:00 I'm Ian Crossland. Happy to be here. What's up, everybody? Nothing too much to report. I did take Bucko to a local vet earlier, and things are moving swimmingly. We're going to have his stem cell injections this week, so I'll keep you updated. Posted a little picture of Bucko yesterday on my Twitter, and I would like to keep rolling from here. If anything comes up, I'll mention it on the show. Right on. And I am at surf.com, unvaxxed, unlocked on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Well, all right. What a great slogan. Unvaxxed unlocked on Twitter well alright what a great slogan unvaxxed unlocked let's jump into this first story and here's why there's two reasons why we decided we're gonna
Starting point is 00:06:31 we're gonna open up this show leading with the Twitter being dead story the first and most important thing is that it's it's a very slow news day nothing is nothing's going on
Starting point is 00:06:41 and this is the most important thing we're talking about no I'm just kidding it is a slow news day there is some other stuff we can talk about. No, I'm just kidding. It is a slow news day. There is some other stuff we can talk about, but I really thought it would be super boring to just be like another development in the Hunter Biden story and the feds raided
Starting point is 00:06:53 Biden's pen, was it the Penn Biden Center or whatever and that happened in November and no one knew it happened until now. So it's like, of course, there's weird corrupt stuff going on, but I'm just like, let's talk about something more interesting. So I go on Twitter and a bunch of people I follow, you can see this meme, ALX says opening up Twitter right now, all the locked profiles. Everyone started, not everyone, but a lot of people started locking their profiles.
Starting point is 00:07:15 High profile accounts started locking their profiles so that no one can retweet their content. No one can share their content. Yo, you combine that with the fact that already people were reporting for the past couple of weeks a weird algorithm change that resulted in zero engagement. And it feels like Twitter is just totally dead. This feels like, and I'm sure these people will un-private their account at some point, but it feels like how Canada is offering assisted suicide to people. Like, if you want to kill yourself we'll make it easy for if you want to block out your social media so we don't have to ban you we'll make it you know maybe they can incentivize you to ban yourself so exactly we're self-selecting and they're like removing themselves from the gene pool so this is the crazy thing right i i retweeted chris martinson uh dr chris martinson we've been
Starting point is 00:08:02 on the show he he was talking about the MSNBC host I brought up in the intro. She gets a common cold, but that results in pericarditis and myocarditis. I'm going through my tweets because I look at my own tweets. It's kind of like bookmarking. So when I retweet something, I know, like, here's the story I wanted to post. And it
Starting point is 00:08:20 says this tweet is unavailable because the account owner protects his tweets. And I'm like, oh, but I know Chris Martins. He's been on the show before. Can't see his tweets anymore. He went private. People are basically banning themselves. Anything I shared from these accounts, gone.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Anybody who follows me, can't see them. It's like, come on. Like, these people have, it is strange to me that they were convinced the only way to retain engagement was to actually shut their accounts down. It's dead internet theory taken to like a whole new level. But, you know, honestly. Maybe, maybe, no joke. What if what was really happening with Twitter was that Twitter was falsely boosting the numbers on tweets to make it seem like there was engagement to trick advertisers into spending money?
Starting point is 00:09:02 And now that Elon Musk is cleaning up the code, he accidentally removed whatever fake thing was there that generated fake comments or fake likes. I'm not even playing. It was the, I think the CEO of Reddit, Alexis, what's his name? Alexis Ohanian, is that his name? I actually know him. He's married to Serena Williams, right?
Starting point is 00:09:18 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know the guy. He's a very nice guy. And I'm pretty sure him and, what's the other guy's name? Huffman, talked about how in the early days of reddit they would pretend to be users so that people would think there was they were talking to people because if you go on a social media platform and comment no response you're like i'm bored i leave so they would pretend to be different people and comment and
Starting point is 00:09:38 create fake conversations and now they'll ban you for doing that on reddit that's right oh yeah no i mean unless you're you're the government or something. I used to do it with Minds. I'd go on there and I'd make a post of Minds thing and then I'd go on with my personal account and be like, this is really cool. Upvote, upvote everyone when I was working as an admin. All the big tech companies do it.
Starting point is 00:09:53 If they found out, they'd ban me instantly. What if that's it? And the reason why when you lock your account and you get engagement is because there's the locked engagement fluffer and there's the unprivate engagement fluffer. I call them fluffers. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:10:09 Yeah. You know, just make them big. And I'm the only guy who wrote the code on one of them. Dude, it makes me laugh because it's like so many people who, you know, have lauded other people for basically like following trends and, you know, just like chasing the like, chasing the clout. And now all of a sudden you know you're seeing people like what's what's going on man i only got 100 likes on and like they wake up and the next day we're like cold sweats because they literally are not getting the same engagements like it's it blows my mind just like how hard hard hardwired people are to
Starting point is 00:10:39 twitter yeah like and instagram all of it man i feel like elon musk is just like he's running experiments and collecting data for the aliens. He's like, hmm, I wonder if I deprived them of... How are they going to react? Everyone's dopamine just dropped by like 80%. And they're like... What are we doing, bros? What are we doing?
Starting point is 00:11:00 I thought we had real lives. I thought we touched the most grass out of everybody on Twitter. It reminds me of panning for gold. Because I think people are trying to find a way to crack the algorithm. Back in the day on YouTube, if you could figure out how to post on everyone's page at once, then all of a sudden your channel broke through the algorithm. And people could get really famous in a relatively short amount of time on social networks. But a lot of these networks now are like, you know, they're ready for that.
Starting point is 00:11:23 So they're trying to stop it from happening. But people are still like hoping they find some gold in the river sift dude it used to be on YouTube that you'd make a video where you're talking about George W. Bush
Starting point is 00:11:33 and you know the war in Iraq but the thumbnail was just like a big a big tittied woman I'm not even kidding because people would click on it and so you're like
Starting point is 00:11:42 I don't know I'm not a woman but if I'm going to get those clicks and the thumbnail would be like a guy going like this and it would be like, war in Iraq, and there would be just like a big, large-breasted woman next to him. And then it would get a million hits. And they used to do this thing too where they would...

Starting point is 00:12:47 BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. They would make videos with fake thumbnails and fake titles. And when you clicked it, it would just play like, it would show like a sentence and it would play music and they would get massively thumbs down, but they generated tons of hits. YouTube started to clean this up. Like, okay, we can't allow this. But if you look at some of the earliest YouTubers and go look at their, like big ones and look at their YouTube channels, you will see they just, for some reason, tended to have thumbnails that needed to talk about women in bikinis.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Lisa Nova, huge in 2006, seven. And I remember the one, the video that really popped off the thumbnail was just a big butt crack. And all of a sudden it got millions of clicks. And I don't think it was her butt crack. It was like Kasim G's butt crack. Shout out to Kasim. Well, there's also Casey Neistat's famous video, Make It Count.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Remember this one? No. It's the one where he said that he was given a budget to produce a commercial for Nike. And instead of doing that, he just traveled around the world in 10 days because it was more fun. Something like that. And it ended doing that, he just traveled around the world in 10 days because it was more fun. Something like that. And it ended up being an amazing commercial. But the thumbnail for it
Starting point is 00:13:49 is two women in bikinis like posing and him taking a picture. So like, people knew exactly what they were doing with how they engaged. The crazy thing to me is
Starting point is 00:13:57 that we've created a points system for our lives. We've video gamified politics in life. Like with Twitter, these are political personalities being like,
Starting point is 00:14:08 I'm not getting engagement anymore so I'm going to lock my account to get more engagement. And I'm like, that sounds like someone made a mousetrap and put peanut butter in it and you were like,
Starting point is 00:14:16 I'm going to go in there and get that peanut butter and then your account gets locked. All your retweets are gone. All your quote tweets are gone. It is, it's like, yo, somebody at Twitter figured out how to ban the conservatives in
Starting point is 00:14:27 one sweep by getting them to walk into the trap themselves. That's hilarious, bro. But there are tons of people who aren't on Twitter who like, if you explain this, like everyone's locking their account, it's a big deal. They're going to be like, what? I don't understand. Because like Twitter feeds itself, right? Like when things start to irritate people on Twitter, it circles around.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Like there are parts of Twitter that won't care about anything that's going on. Engagement is sort of universal. Like trying to drive traffic to your profile is like the one unifying front through all of Twitter. And even then there are tons of people who don't use the platform who don't care about this. Hey, let's just call it what it is, bro.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Like we discovered the meta the like the the one meta build on twitter and the mods got mad and they patched it and now everybody's all just like freaking out so honestly i'm trying to figure this out what if all the conservatives just kind of like lock their accounts or everybody's conservative and independent just lock their accounts and the journalists literally can't like write hit pieces anymore that's what i'm thinking that we should all just like that's actually a good point i was gonna i was gonna say that all of these accounts that locked their tweets locked locked our all these all these people that locked our accounts all the news articles that have recorded those tweets
Starting point is 00:15:36 gone they're now gonna show dead space oh man oh if they unlock their account they don't they don't repopulate right i think it think it will go back. You think so? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that would be interesting, too, if you just periodically lock your account for 24 hours so anyone who's used your stuff can't get access to it. Look, I like Elon. I like Elon Musk. I'm glad that he got Twitter.
Starting point is 00:15:56 I'm glad he released Twitter files. I think he could do better, but he's doing what he can. But I've got to be honest. If Twitter, I woke up tomorrow and it was gone, I'd be happy. I'd use mine. It's just a piece of tech. It's the same as YouTube. Like, internet video is where it's at.
Starting point is 00:16:09 It doesn't matter what network you're on. Internet video is the powerful tool. Yeah. I think that a lot of these problems, people are searching for a way to break an algorithm that they don't understand because the code is private. If the code was public and you could see what the algorithm is doing, you would know whether or not this was going to have any value locking your account. You wouldn't have to do it. Are you saying we should free the code? private. If the code was public and you could see what the algorithm is doing, you would know whether or not this was going to have any value locking your account.
Starting point is 00:16:26 You wouldn't have to do it. Are you saying we should free the code? Yeah. Drink! Free the code, baby. There we go, guys. Someone suggested
Starting point is 00:16:33 me and you arm wrestle. I don't think it's going to happen. Dude, are you ready? I don't think I can take you with two arms. I don't know, man. Two legs and two arms. I could try.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Actually, I got to be honest. I'm pretty sure you could just lift Ian with one arm. Bicep girl? Dude, yeah, I can bicep girl. Two legs and two arms. I could try. Actually, I got to be honest. I'm pretty sure you could just lift Ian with one arm. Bicep curl? Dude, yeah, I can bicep curl. What's an average one-arm bicep curl? Dude, average is probably like 40. But then again, I mean, my wife, she curls like 30-pound dumbbells.
Starting point is 00:16:56 So she's kind of skewing extremely high on that. So yeah, honestly, for me, I think about 70 or 80. Like, dude, imagine this. News is so slow. I'm actually going to come on TimCats and just talk about my biceps. Pretty interesting. Think about that. There was some news today, the Biden stuff.
Starting point is 00:17:16 And I'm just like, I don't care, man. Look, we get it. The Bidens are crooked. They're dirty people. And I started thinking about this. I did a segment at 4 p.m. Jack Posobiec wrote about his old neighborhood when he was a kid and how it's fallen apart and crime-ridden. And then I'm just like, yeah, that's the result.
Starting point is 00:17:31 They're actually all symptoms of the same thing, cultural fragmentation. I was saying that you go back. Imagine a small town of 3,000 people, and you've got a nice, God-fearing white family, a nice, God-fearing black family, a nice, God-fearing white family a nice god-fearing black family a nice god-fearing latino family my point is they uh asian family they they agree culturally and ideologically on their worldview race doesn't matter their views on morality are all the same so if one guy loses his job and goes on unemployment nobody's mad about it they're like we got your back buddy you know don't worry we'll see you at church on sund. And he's like, I'm going to keep trying. I know you guys are there for me. Then eventually finds a job.
Starting point is 00:18:08 No one is, you know, when everybody agrees with each other and wants to be part of the same community, they're not looking to exploit each other. They're not looking to commit crimes against each other. They got each other's back. Social programs work. Crime is low. You don't need police.
Starting point is 00:18:22 And then I started thinking about what the Biden family represents. And it's just like they are both a symptom of and the cause of. It's like a whirlpool. When you have a fractured moral society and people just stop caring and you get Democrats who are like, I'm voting for this guy simply because I hate you. Then the people they end up voting for like the bidens are crime families and then because you end up with a crime family in government they end up burning everything to the ground he's kind of like a not quite an old wash-up politician he's kind of like an old washed-up politician like after 1988 when he was plagiarizing in his presidential run and he had
Starting point is 00:19:00 to drop out of the race he was pretty much laughed at scorned and like never taken seriously again to all of a sudden obama puts him as his vp he runs he looks like a doddering old man in 19 in 2008 no one took him seriously while he's running against obama and then all of a sudden i guess now we find out it was the establishment that it's the dnc it's like the democratic party that selects the running mate i thought obama put him in as like oh i want an old white guy i want like a business guy to like represent that business part because i'm the rebel no man you remember they ran it by him and then biden was and then biden had that infamous little script where he's like you know we had the first clean well-spoken black guy and you know it's like a very you know they literally had the place set up and so it's just it's it's kind of funny because you know tim you
Starting point is 00:19:45 were saying it's just like all of all the people hate each other and they vote candidates in just to spite other people well then that means biden is literally just like an embodiment of the hatred and contempt that americans have for each other yeah you see that in how they govern they have hatred and contempt for us you know and the way they conduct themselves right like i have never found a reason to write about it but like hunter biden has this illegitimate child who he won't acknowledge even though he put his her mom on the payroll for a while and like now her mom who i believe was a stripper i'm not sure um is like trying to get her daughter to have the biden last name so that she is you know acknowledge is connected because it's beneficial to be to be known in america as a biden and to me like this is someone who doesn't acknowledge
Starting point is 00:20:31 this child like it sounds horrible to to saddle your child with the name of a man who doesn't want to acknowledge her who had another child after who they bring out for photos like it's he's resisting he's he's trying to stop the name he has asked the judge to present to uh to not let this happen meanwhile grandma jill biden like brings his toddler son that he had in wedlock with this south african film director like they present themselves as this family and they love the young women and they're so supportive and then really on the other hand like they don't they don't practice anything they preach and we see see this time and time again. Right. Like no one is perfect, but it's different to say, oh, this is the package we're selling you, America. And please ignore the other stuff.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Right. Like it's just corrupt morally. It's like someone took like all the negative things of like it's like somebody that does not understand American culture except for the bad things basically took and distilled all of the worst aspects drugs fatherless children money laundering corruption and just like literally just imbibed them in the biden family at that point and that's like literally what we have so but vogue did a cover of naomi biden's wedding so we should just accept that they are like the beautiful new americana family like it it makes me sad right like these like tiffany trump and i'm gonna make this point because i've been thinking about it for weeks and have not had a chance to do to make it but tiffany trump got married the weekend before
Starting point is 00:21:55 naomi biden right very similar styles very lavish wedding both like from powerful families but like naomi biden's is good and it's representational even though her family actually has all this scandal and all this weird connection they treat each other to other strangely and the trump family for by all accounts like is unusual right a man who's been divorced three times has all these kids like not super typical but by all accounts all of the siblings get along really well but they're the bad family they're representational negative family politics like it doesn't really make sense this is this is why i did this segment i did at 4 p.m on my on my main channel normally you know because normally what i do every day is i grab like the big story and i'm like here's the thing that happened here's what it means here's what's going on here's some other
Starting point is 00:22:36 stuff about it and like the other day i was talking about oh biden scandal the emails apparently hunter biden emails from his laptop suggests he had access to classified information and it seems like in emails they were directly getting information straight from the white house And apparently, Hunter Biden emails from his laptop suggest he had access to classified information. And it seems like in emails, they were directly getting information straight from the White House. So that's a big scandal. Today, there was more information on it that they had raided the Penn Biden Center or whatever. And so there was like the FBI were doing raids on the Bidens for a while now before the midterms and they weren't telling us. And then I was just like thinking about Chuck Todd.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Jim Jordan goes on Meet the Press and he says, you know, Chuck Todd's like, but Trump had classified documents. And he's like, Trump is the president. And they were guarded by the Secret Service and they were locked up. And Biden had him sitting in his garage. And then just for tribal reasons, Chuck Todd says, no, no, like you can't see it. You know, it's a, it's a conspiracy and it's just like, we, we get it. Those of us of sound mind, Chuck Todd is just saying whatever he has to, because there is a cult of people who don't care what's true. They care that they are right.
Starting point is 00:23:38 So you can come out and make your argument and they don't care, literally don't care. And I'm just thinking about all this. And I'm like, then I saw Jack Posobiec's article about how his neighborhood fell apart. And I'm like, yeah, it's because we have no cultural cohesion. We have no shared moral framework. And so we end up with leaders who are basically on the Titanic, watching the iceberg coming. Right before it hits, they run, grab a whole bunch of silverware, and jump in a lifeboat and just cast off.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Instead of actually steering the ship, saving people, or being like a real captain and saying, you know, last person off the ship or you go down with it, they're off the ship first and then even tell you what happened. Oh, no worse. They're telling you, everything's fine. Don't worry, guys. Go back to the mini bar.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Get some more drinks. Go gamble. Just get off the deck. Mostly peaceful iceberg. The ship starts. Yeah, that's fine. Don't worry, guys. Go back to the mini bar. Get some more drinks. Go gamble. Just get off the deck. Mostly peaceful iceberg. The ship starts, yeah, that's right. The ship starts sinking. It starts going up
Starting point is 00:24:31 and people are sliding. Don't worry. This is the slide function. It's fun. Glasses are flying up. People are hanging from the side and like, everything's still fine.
Starting point is 00:24:38 The ground is flat. I know. Don't question it. Meanwhile, there's a second ship that pulled up funded by the Chinese Communist Party. And they're rowing over being like, don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Hunter, get the boat. That's exactly what they're doing. I think a lot of the business dealings Hunter Biden is doing is basically like these people are running this country into the ground in more ways than one. From neighborhoods falling apart to the tribalistic nature of humans uh of of society right now i'm wondering if their attitude is just like look one man's not going to fix this grab what you can every man for himself i've been thinking about what we're going to say no the best thing is like a multi-layered hedge basically you know you already know it's going to burn down so why not extract all the wealth that you can that way when it burns down you're you know sitting kind of pretty looking like royalty then you can come back and the ashes are there
Starting point is 00:25:29 and then you can suddenly say hey guys we have money we can fix this and then you basically take all the credit rebuild it everybody's ground down and depressed it's kind of like you know russia post-soviet collapse really where you know that's that's why all the drinking ruski you know sort of uh you know those stereotypes come from. Because when the Soviet collapsed, they basically gave Russian people all these waivers and, you know, things like this when these people couldn't even feed themselves. And so then basically you had the oligarchs in the American banks basically come over and buy up all almost all the industry and, you know, turn Russians into basically slave slave workers. And then next thing you know well it's bad but now the oligarchs
Starting point is 00:26:08 run everything and they've already got all the money. Yeah, I got an idea. If it's all going to come crashing down go buy some chickens. Buck, buck, buck man. Because the people who are able to sustain themselves more than others are going to be better off if this
Starting point is 00:26:24 is the trend that continues. I do think there's an alternative. That's why I said we need to make America great again. And I don't know if I'm saying it in the exact same way that all the Trump supporters are saying it. But I imagine probably when Jack Posobiec brings up Pizza Hut when he was a kid and there's a salad bar. And if you read a book in school, they gave you a free donut and you got a free – I don't know. All I remember was pizza. Personal pan pizzas, man.
Starting point is 00:26:44 That's all I remember. Because I remember there was a pizza hut next to a Dunkin' Donuts. So I'd get the free pizza and then we were leaving. I'd go get a free donut and you got a free i don't know there's a bunch all i remember was personal pan pieces man that's all i remember because i remember i get there was a pizza next to a dunkin donuts so i'd get the free pizza and then we were leaving i go get a free donut there was other stuff on it like it was like drug addiction like they give you the cheese and the high fructose corn syrup and the sauce with sugar and your good old days bro i doubt back then they had all that stuff it was like after 92 is when the high fructose started coming in. But we were living in a haze of ignorance at that time.
Starting point is 00:27:09 You know what though? Maybe. The decline of literacy levels because I know you guys see in the schools how kids can't even read anymore. Discover the magic of Bad MGM Casino

It started when they took away the personal pan pieces. That's when it happened. Now you see how they're tweeting?
Starting point is 00:28:20 Oh my god! It gives me a headache, bro. It's all like court stenographer shorthand. Yeah. And honestly, I grew up with it. I don't know if you guys know this, but I'm black. What? And so, obviously, we have our own dialect and our own vernacular and stuff.
Starting point is 00:28:36 I assumed you were a white supremacist. Dude, I know. I know. Did you see those five guys, though? Jesus Christ. You're not seeing black people anymore, man. These white people out here are crazy. But no, bro. White supremacists, man dave chappelle called it what were you saying we derailed no no no so you're black please continue i know i know i know i hierarchy guys hierarchy
Starting point is 00:28:56 but uh but no it's just sort of funny you know when you sort of think about it you know i grew up in where like we used our own vernacular and our own dialect when we talked. And it was mainly just because it was shorthand. Certain words we just didn't know how to pronounce. Now you see people out here purposely typing, purposely misspelling, and the errors and just the misuse of there. And it gives me palpitations. Oh, it's hard for me, man. Like, where are all the semicolons?
Starting point is 00:29:27 You know, they exist for a reason. It's two different subjects in one sentence. There's no comma. Use the semicolon to delineate the two subjects. And I'm going to write you a note, and I'm going to leave it in your room. It's going to have no semicolons and improper punctuation. I'm going to puke on myself. Hey, I want to tag on what you're saying about the oligarchs earlier, because this has been crossing my mind last night.
Starting point is 00:29:45 I'm like, OK, this Russian invasion of Ukraine. It's not Putin. I mean, Putin's one of them. It's the Russian oligarchs that are in charge. It's basically a hyper-capitalist state of oligarchs are running that thing. And it's no wonder they want to conquer a trade port in Sevastopol. They want that trade, because it's what hyper-capitalists would do in civilization if you were playing against them and they had a government run by a bunch of uber people just like capitalists. So but I'm wondering for the capitalists of the United States, the oligarchs in the United States, if they want to control the world, they would want to ally with the capitalists of Russia against, and they think that really they can beat them in a sort of attrition,
Starting point is 00:30:25 or they're intentionally taking us to war to kill off the common man so that, like you said earlier, they could come back and rebuild with all their finances. That's where you're wrong, kiddo, because these aren't regular capitalists. These are crony capitalists. Crony capitalists don't care about free market and competition. They just want to fix the game for them to win. But, you know, it's funny you bring that up because actually, you know, Russia now, the oligarch problem isn't near as bad as it used to be. Like, I don't know if you guys know this, but when the IMF came in and they tried to do what was called shock therapy, where you convert a formerly communist nation to a capitalist nation, the oligarchs botched the whole thing on purpose because they wanted to buy all the infrastructure up for cheap.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Putin, when he came to power, actually drove most of those oligarchs out of Russia. And guess where they went? Ukraine. Ukraine and to the U.S. So a lot of this anti-Putin sentiment that we see, you know, Putin's, let's go for what he is.
Starting point is 00:31:23 I mean, I'm not saying he's a good guy, but, you know, compared to some of the other Russian leaders, the people of the Russian Federation, he's actually a moderate. You know, I've heard that, and, you know, you can't take my word for the gospel, but a lot of Russians are, you know, pretty frustrated that he pity padded, you know, with the war that he had this kind of kid's glove approach with Ukraine to begin with. And then, you know, when they brought in Serovikin or General Armageddon, basically now they're going full scale anyways, and they're just like, why didn't you do that before? And it's, you know, it's kind of crazy how we have all this anti,
Starting point is 00:31:56 you know, Russian rhetoric going anyways, but it's just old oligarchs of the past and, you know, angry, rich boomers with a, you with a war grudge against Russia just want to finish picking the bones clean because they have all that gas. All that Cold War brainwash. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:32:15 It's coming to roost. So it's crazy. I'm looking at some of the oligarchs. I just went to Wikipedia, Russian oligarchs. We have Arkady, Rotenberg, G tim and uh timchenko alisher uzmanov are these names ringing a bell peter aven mikhail prokhorov oleg deripaska there's nine of them vaget alec alekparov vladimir potanin and roman abramovich he's probably the most famous name wise roman abramovich i've heard what's what's crazy is the uh cost of property in Ukraine because there's no way the average Ukrainian can own property unless you're a coder.
Starting point is 00:32:50 So I know people – I mentioned I have friends who are Ukrainian and they'll say that the average salary is like $400 a month or something like that. And if you want to buy property, the prices are comparable to a property in the United States. It's like $300,000 to buy a studio apartment in the city or something like that. And if you're making $400 a month, you will never buy that. But if you're a developer or coder, you're making $150,000 per year. US, while living in Ukraine, you're living like a king. You're over there. So what ends up happening is, the way they described it to me, the property is all owned by oligarchs, and everyone else has to rent from them.
Starting point is 00:33:26 You can buy it. It's for sale, but only the wealthiest people and foreigners come and actually buy up the property. Ukrainians struggle with it. So they own nothing, but do they like it? You know, it's a pretty chill place. They got cabbage, and you can get cabbage and beef and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:33:41 When I was in Kiev, I was at the Maidan Square. It was awesome. It was a blast. It's a cool place. So it really sucks what's been going on, to be completely honest. Going to little food buffets. I remember when I was there, they had a TV playing with music on it. And then Paris Hilton came on, music video.
Starting point is 00:34:01 And then I was like, you guys get Paris Hilton here? My friend was like of course we get all the american celebrities and i'm like no no no no no you don't understand paris hilton music doesn't exist in the united states like we don't listen to it and you guys do and that's kind of funny to me i don't know i was thinking about this invasion and where there's a lot of like kickback now from my friends that i guess you can say we're liberal they're like ukraine is ukraine we're not we don't want ukraine to give up anything russians should not be invading get out we will we'll send american troops to die to keep up and i'm like where was your voice when
Starting point is 00:34:34 the united states invaded iraq we're still invading iraq the invasion doesn't stop the day after it starts if we're still at presence there we're invading in the moment where's your why aren't you speaking out against what you can actually control a lot of them are too young a lot of them are too young and just if i can be crass too stupid to even understand that you know people don't see the whole bigger picture honestly you know ian mentioned we were living in ignorance and someone super chatted saying uh this is a christopher mar saying in living in a haze of ignorance is called living the dream. But I think what ends up happening is
Starting point is 00:35:07 you get a generation that raises their kids in ignorance. Then when they pass on the world to those kids, this is what you get. You get the Bidens. You get people being like Vosh when he came on the show and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:35:21 isn't the corruption of the Biden family from when he was VP like a concern to you? And he's like, oh, I don't know anything about it. I was a little kid. I was in high school when that happened. I didn't pay attention. And I'm like, isn't the corruption of the Biden family from when he was VP a concern to you? And he's like, oh, I don't know anything about it. I was a little kid. I was in high school when that happened. I didn't pay attention. And I'm like, oh. So the bad guy runs for office 10 years later
Starting point is 00:35:34 and you're just like, I just heard of this guy. You're like, uh-huh. There's a lot of bad guys. You gotta look into who they are. Yeah, I think that's what, I can't say the RNC isn't guilty of this, but definitely DNC, that's why they like young voters, because it's like a blank slate. Yeah, the DNC.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Yeah, I would say the DNC, like, that's why they often push these guys. I think the RNC, too, I think all political parties operate this way. But I think any time you get this new class of 18-year-olds who have the right to vote, they don't remember 30 years of political history and especially it's even ones who are super politically engaged they just haven't had enough time to learn everything and all the nuances and why this senator doesn't get along with that one and this deal you know you can only know so much when you're young but getting them getting anyone to support your ideology especially when you buy in with like sort of the name brand i
Starting point is 00:36:25 think of i think of a lot of modern politics like rooting for sports teams you know like you don't know why your family supports this team you just do uh i think that is something that some political parties take in stride you know they don't have to explain the sins of people they're now electing to president things that they did when they were senators mean nothing to people who are new voters. Let's jump into this next story. And it's kind of changing the subject, but it goes in line with what we were talking about. We have this from timcast.com.
Starting point is 00:36:53 PragerU personality details YouTube kids promoting LGBTQ content. These videos are not child-friendly and YouTube is pushing them to indoctrinate kids. And it's worse than that. This is Aldo Budizoni. YouTube Kids is grooming children with LGBTQ propaganda.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Aldo, I think you actually need, you buried the lead here. And I mean this with all due respect. The real concern is that at a certain point, so what Aldo says is he signed up an account made for 9 to 12 year olds. And then one of the first videos
Starting point is 00:37:23 that pops up recommends a kid meets gender non-conforming person. I'm not as concerned with just that. The issue is when it gets into the ideas of consent and they're telling children about consent and they start talking about here we go, consent is giving permission to someone
Starting point is 00:37:40 or something. Why are they giving 9 and 12 year olds consent lessons in a sexual context? This is what's alarming about what YouTube kids is doing. So you think it's just in the schools and Ron DeSantis has his plan to get rid of diversity, equity, and inclusion, but everybody in this is five steps behind what's actually been going on. And going back to Elsagate, people have been giving their kids YouTube. Their kids are then they're like YouTube kids. It's good for you.
Starting point is 00:38:07 And then you get some adult in a sexualized context like drag saying, let's talk about what it means to consent. And then in this thread, I think it's in this thread. You have Billboard Chris. We've been on the show. A guy telling him that their goal is to decouple age and consent. Quite literally saying he wants 12 year olds to be able to consent with adults. This is what they're pushing on kids. I'm not surprised by it, but it's got to be insidious. It can't be overt. They can't come out right now and just say it. It's got to be
Starting point is 00:38:38 a slow creeping malevolent force that goes under the radar. So when mom and dad are busy with work and they hand the ipad to the kid and sign up for youtube kids because youtube kids is safe what does youtube kids say come here little boy come into a sexualized context where we can tell you about consent that's exactly what they're doing the internet and like television is like inviting a stranger into your home to babysit your children like if you wouldn't pick some random person off the street you cannot trust anything that comes from the internet cable tv like it is written by someone you don't know for a company that you don't know what their values are like even if you pick one video the youtube algorithm immediately serves up another video like there's no way for you to know for
Starting point is 00:39:20 sure what's going to happen and that's why again i can't help but think it's like inviting just a random person you met at the grocery store to come watch your kids for two hours and i get it like it's hard to be a parent you've got a lot of stuff going on sometimes you need a break you need to like have a way to engage your children that you don't need to eat their present for but like what if tv is not it sir what if i told you that the youtube kids app was promoting child strippers to your 9 to 12-year-olds. Well, that's in the thread. Meet Desmond is amazing. Now, of course, his family is quite litigious, but there's a video of him dancing on stage for money at an adult gay bar.
Starting point is 00:39:57 That is the same thing as go-go dancing. Why is a child doing this, and why are they promoting this to other children? Well, I'm degradation of society to take. Well, that's for, that's for sure is that people are over overly sexualized. Children will become overly sexualized adults and think it's normal or okay
Starting point is 00:40:16 out of their own guilt. Like, Hey, it's not so bad what happened to me. So, you know, this isn't so bad, terrifying and sad.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Yeah, it really is cycle of abuse, but it's crazy because it also plays into what we've been talking about about the erosion of community again when people are so into sex when they're so into themselves and their own genders like they're not paying attention to what's going on they don't know about the local school board of city elections they don't know about any of this stuff all they know is just you know it's about my sexual identity my proclivities you know indulging myself nothing else matters outside of just treating yourself and and it just it takes your eyes down you know basically and so it's uh you know everything in life can be likened to sports so basically what
Starting point is 00:40:59 typically happens in football you know normally quarterback he gets the ball he's looking up at the field he's trying to find a receiver to throw the ball to, so he's got to be aware. But then when pass rush comes, they start throwing stuff in your face. He takes his eyes down. He can't throw the ball. He can't pay attention. You've suddenly stopped the game from progressing. He can no longer
Starting point is 00:41:17 progress the ball, and that's what's happening with society. We've taken our eyes off of the prize, which is advancing humanity, technology, everything else you know creating families and now we put it down on our genitals quite literally looking up at the stars i think about sending probes to alpha centauri it'll take like 80 years for a probe to get there could you imagine if we do that today in 80 years we will have probes in alpha centauri sure 80 years yeah that's what i read anyway a couple weeks ago that sounds like really
Starting point is 00:41:42 fast yeah it sounds super fast like within a lifetime i'm going to double check it but this was like this is stuff we should be focusing on aliens are watching they're just going like you know they had a lot going for them when they went to that moon and now i don't know what they're doing you're calling some rich alien oligarch just lost all of his bet on like this interdimensional betting app and he's like god dang it humanity you screwed the pooch but it reminds me of that expression like uh you can't see beyond the nose on your face right like if you can't stop but think about like your own identity and your own sexual pleasure and we're introducing that earlier and earlier like how can you expect anyone to spend time thinking about like the society around them or moral philosophy or science or anything
Starting point is 00:42:22 else like everything is about the internal and i think it's good to be in touch with your emotions but you can't be so dominated by your like personal consuming thoughts that you are uh devoid of divorce from the world around you but wait there's more because we got to put a neat little bow on this this ties into big pharma because now when you get all these kids exploring all of these alternative sexualities now you got the cisgender to trans pipeline so they can now suddenly if they want to explore let's get some puberty blockers let's get some gender affirming care the next thing you know again that's where social media comes in you know we're right here at the whole dead internet theory they start getting engagement from other people in that community. They start flooding them
Starting point is 00:43:05 and love bombing them. And so now they get addicted to that. Then next thing you know, they take it further. Boom. Now you're done. Fully trans the kid from YouTube kids. And you know,
Starting point is 00:43:14 that's omitting a lot of steps, but it's basically how it happens. Let's talk about dead internet theory, right? If people aren't on the internet, it's all bots, then where are the people? Are they just not using the internet? Never did?
Starting point is 00:43:25 Man, they're touching grass. Touching all kinds of grass. I think there are tons of people who are not as engaged. We talk about this a little bit, but for your job and for all of us, being connected to the internet, being on Twitter, stuff like that, it is part of a professional hazard. You need to have the information. But if you are an electrician who gets up really early and works on jobs and comes back and you hang out with your family, like you don't really have the time to
Starting point is 00:43:50 just scroll on your phone endlessly and keep up with who's mad at who on Twitter. I mean, I think that there's just a life outside. The other part is like some people actively choose not to be online. They choose not to have television in their home. They choose not to be online right they choose not to have television in their home they choose not to uh sign their kids up for you know instagram or whatever else like that you can be disengaged and you've talked about this a little bit and like there are alternative platforms right like i know some parents who want to share kids of photos of their kids but out of privacy concerns they use they don't use facebook they use something more private like there are people who don't rely on the rest of the world
Starting point is 00:44:27 for entertainment and for us professional content and I think that's healthier it's just hard because I mean all of us need it
Starting point is 00:44:36 like this is our job I think about what if the power went out that crosses my mind at least every week I'm like what would my life become if we had no electricity
Starting point is 00:44:43 I mean part of me is just like secretly in the back of my mind saying like, please. Do it. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Because I got a van that can generate its own power and I'll be down by that river just fishing. Yeah. I should love it. Sit back and just kicking the feet, some straw in the mouth
Starting point is 00:44:57 and just cast a line and forget about all of those. Well, I think of like all the reporters who like had to go sit in really boring town hall meetings to like get the information. Then they had to call people on the phone and talk to them constantly.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Like journalists still do that from time to time. But like we are used to getting things much faster because we have the Internet. Now they just read tweets and report on tweets like literally MSN journalists. I don't know what they do. All they do is literally just write articles based on what, oh, this world reacts to this. This world reacts to that. And they just tweet. Do you know how many times some news outlet has picked up one of my fake tweets and ran it as fact?
Starting point is 00:45:32 No, for real. Like, there's just, how about when I said the queen should be impeached? So I can't remember exactly what happened, but I said impeach Queen Elizabeth. And then MEAWW.com wrote an article saying you know podcaster tim pool calls for you know queen elizabeth to be impeached and i was just like holy crap when that started it was hilarious the indication of the rupturing of that form of media is when they just started quoting twitter yeah it was like 2013 or something imagine this journalists like for the new york times walking into the middle of you know the East Side, and there's a guy outside just rocking back and forth.
Starting point is 00:46:07 They're like, oh, impeach Queen Elizabeth. Impeach. Sir, what was your name? What was your name? Bill Smith. Let's run it. And then it goes back to the New York Times. It says, front page, Bill Smith calls for impeachment of Queen Elizabeth.
Starting point is 00:46:20 That's what they do? And then they're like, hey, look, he's a nobody. But people are going to see the story and they're going to be like, wow. And I wonder who this guy is. That's what they're doing. Bill Smith. I hate that guy. God, it's so funny, though, because, yeah, you sort of think about this. And then this goes into AI, like AI is literally getting all the data off of all the crazy stuff that gets all the clicks and then it just incentivizes people to write even crazier articles which causes people to tweet crazier stuff bro and then people get in trouble for like interacting with tweets too like we beyond we've moved beyond
Starting point is 00:46:54 just like people writing stuff like it's like oh ian crossman cross and like the impeach queen elizabeth tweet so he is supportive of this movement like it's like you know what i mean it just becomes this sort of hysterical culture off of something you wrote as a joke. Or maybe you feel that way. Maybe you want to impeach the queen. I know. It's ridiculous. There have been several times where I've tweeted something that is intended to make neither point. So it's like meant to highlight just the circumstance. Like, I called the MSNBC Yasmin Vesuvian story about how she got the cold and got myocarditis. And I said, I called it anti-vax propaganda because what she had a cold for three months. Clearly they were making a segment that was going to trigger anti-vaxxers and make them think this was like, I'm not intending to make any point other than this is the narrative.
Starting point is 00:47:41 This is like just highlighting this thing, basically. But they will take it and be like, Tim Pool is dead serious and thinks MSNBC does these things and I'm like... And part of their story is also look how many people
Starting point is 00:47:53 are listening to this guy. Look how many people are listening to that. They don't point it out. They're not like, it got 80,000 retweets, but they don't really report on stuff until it gets to a certain level
Starting point is 00:48:02 of people listening and then they're like, we have to take it seriously. But we don't really know how. Accelerate. Without writing a story about it. At this point, guys, we just accelerate it as fast as we can, man. Just hot takes.
Starting point is 00:48:13 They write hot stuff. People go mad. People go insane. And the loop and cycle just continues. Let me pull up this tweet. This is an awesome tweet. This is from Clay Travis. He says, lots of athletes are finally catching on that left-wing sports media
Starting point is 00:48:26 ask them political questions so the left-wing sports media members can write their own left-wing political opinions. Here's Azarenka calling that out. I don't know if we can play, like, it's a longer video. What do you guys want us to do? There you go. Listen. About it. Like, talk about it.
Starting point is 00:48:41 I don't know what's the goal here that is continuously brought up and this incidents that, in my opinion, have nothing to do with players, but somehow you keep dragging players into it.

Does it frustrate you that, you know, particularly last night for example, there was a clear sort of pro-Russian demonstration happening within the grounds of the tournament, that these people are coming and using the Australian
Starting point is 00:50:17 Open as a platform for these kind of demonstrations? Does that frustrate you? I, whatever the answer I'm going to give it to you right now, it's going to be turned whichever way you want to turn it to. So does it bother me? What bothers me is there's real things that's going on in the world. And I don't know, are you a politician? Are you? Are you covering politics? Yes. And I'm a, and I'm an athlete.
Starting point is 00:51:10 Pause real quick. I'm a sports journalist. She goes, yes, I'm an athlete. Asking me about things that maybe somebody says are in my control, but I don't believe that. So I don't know what you want me to answer. So anyway, here's what I love about this. For one, obviously, these athletes are like, okay, at this point, what are you asking me about? We had that with, what was the name, Ivan Provorov, the Flyers, who was just like, look, I'll answer any question about sports. And then someone asked him about gay rights.
Starting point is 00:51:39 And he's like, what did I just say? So here's the thing. Dead internet theory. We're talking about Twitter being dead, engagement is way down for whatever reason. And I don't mean dead as in the platform's broken. I just mean like no one seems to be using it. Now we've got dead internet theory,
Starting point is 00:51:53 the idea that since like 2016, no one's really used the internet. And now you have stories like this. What you see from this, sports journalists have literally nothing to write about. So they go to, you know, what would you say, Malcolm, your principal career is? Like, what's your main career? Clinical research. Clinical research.
Starting point is 00:52:14 So I'm curious, when cooking eggs in the morning, do you agree with Chef Andrew Gruhl on adding vinegar afterwards and mixing it in? Are there peer-reviewed studies on that? See, I don't know what this question has to do with anything other than I can then go out and be like, you know, clinical researcher says no vinegar on eggs, and it makes it sound like there is a scientific basis.
Starting point is 00:52:38 It makes a fake story, and then they can go, I got a scoop! A guy said a thing. That's what the media is today, for the most part. Man, that is, that's scary. Depressing? People, because people still take it seriously. That's the problem is that, you know, you were just saying, you know, are people online like that?
Starting point is 00:52:57 Do people see this happening? And, you know, in real life, people still take journalists seriously. That's what really freaks me out because, you know, they're getting their information from these people who are basically like scraping the bottom of the barrel and saying, you know, I got scoop. Who's got scoop? Who's got? And they literally write nonsense to which people export to the real world. Yeah. And this is what I always said was that, you know, back in the day, they always said Twitter is not real life. I'm like, yeah, it's not real life, but it's got real life i'm like yeah it's not real life but it's got real life implications like people literally use twitter to source what they're going to take out to the other people
Starting point is 00:53:29 and talk about around the water cooler or you know to write articles about well and like for this incident like first off that athlete's belarusian i just looked it up so are they trying to trap her into being representative of yeah and then also for this journalist like i'm so glad she's like are you a politician she's like i'm a sports journalist like is this sports journalist like here's my chance to get launched into the political on the political beat so i get more money or i can raise my profile because i had this good moment like it's just such a weird way to operate and especially since i know there are people who would love to cover sports journalism at this level to go to the australian open and interview these people because they love the sport, not because they are trying to make some political point to further their career.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Like if you're going to further your career on sports journalism, ask her about preparing for this match. Ask her about something relevant. Don't make her a poster child so you can sort of transition into the political beat for your publication. Yeah, I feel like the whole like writing down what the guy said is kind of like 1994 journalism style. Like you can just watch the video of what she said. I don't need to hear someone write a story about what she said when I can listen to her say it. Or I don't need to hear someone write down. She hit the ball three feet farther than the other girl who hit the ball. I'm like, I can watch the show.
Starting point is 00:54:45 I don't need that anymore. I have internet video. I can watch it 24-7. It's on demand. I've got to be honest, man. People often ask, how do you do this job, watching all this stuff, reading all this stuff every day? And I'm like, you know, it does get really hard sometimes. I mentioned that we were hanging out at the casino because we like to go there.
Starting point is 00:55:03 I started playing Hold'em last week. I've played it like five times now. It's fun. I love that game. Got to learn how to play it, though. And that's funny. Anyway, the dealer was like, I hate politics. I don't want to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:55:13 It's too awful. And I'm like, I totally get that. Because what this country is devolving into is our politicians are corrupt. Everybody knows it. Congress is corrupt. Everybody knows it. Have you guys ever heard that song, Everybody Knows? Who's the guy who sang that song?
Starting point is 00:55:29 Everybody Hurts is R.E.M. I don't know everybody knows. Everybody knows. The people in the chat are going to know what I'm talking about. And it's got that line, like, everybody knows the fight is fixed. Leonard Cohen? Yeah, Leonard Cohen. There you go.
Starting point is 00:55:40 The poor stay poor. The rich get rich. That's just how it goes. Everyone knows the dice are loaded. It was Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson wrote it together. Everybody knows. And it's been that way. For when was that song written?
Starting point is 00:55:51 1988. 1988? Yeah. Man, I was two years old when people were talking about how the system was completely broken. And I grow up and it's only gotten worse. Well, it seems like that. It's become more apparent. But I think that we have more control as citizens now than we used to.
Starting point is 00:56:05 I agree with that. I agree there's an opportunity for success. I agree there's an opportunity for the phoenix to rise from the ashes. But I am not someone who just looks around and says everything seems worse than it was when I was a kid. I'm someone who decided to start asking older people. And so whenever I go out in the past several months, past year or so, like the most recent thing, we went to the antique shop and there's a guy and he's in his mid sixties. And I said, is it, have you ever seen it in your life this bad?
Starting point is 00:56:30 Never, never. In terms of the violence, in terms of the, in terms of the corruption, the tribalism, the bifurcation, all of these issues, the economy. And I'm just like, I'm, I'm look, I'm 36 in about a month and a week. I'm going to be 37. And I can tell you that in my life, it seems like things are way worse. Even like the economic crisis.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Oh, wait, to me, maybe I was just too young and I wasn't experiencing it. No, it wasn't that bad. Oh, it wasn't that bad. Unless you had a lot of money in markets. Compared to where we are with like the lockdowns.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Nothing like it. With the war. Two years forced medication. People not being able to leave their homes. People dying. And the World Economic Forum talking about the Great Reset. I mean, this is like tragedy.
Starting point is 00:57:06 We literally just went from having people become millionaires overnight for selling means, mean stonks, basically. And now, again, now we're sitting up here having these same people losing all that money and trying to reenter into the workforce. It's bad. Joe Biden gave the authority of the american military to vladimir zelinsky what the hell is going on that's our president in our in our lives like and you just hand it over carte blanche to this guy yeah or not not literally but like just so much money and tanks and like you do what you need to do to defend something that's inescapable amorphous i want to talk before we move on too far from this i want
Starting point is 00:57:45 to talk about consent which was part of this original story i don't know if we will tap it off but like part of what these these people were like getting young kids to come on and this is part of like social degradation and things like that trying to get 12 year olds to consent i'm thinking genetic age and solar age are different you can have an 85 year old body that's been around the sun 85 times but because you heal your body so much, it looks like it's 40 years old. It essentially is a 40-year-old body, but you've been 85 years. So you can see, just because you've been on Earth 18 times around the sun doesn't mean that you're more or less genetically evolved. We might have 12-year-olds that are more mature in 150 years than 25-year-olds are today.
Starting point is 00:58:24 We may end up becoming... I don't know about that. But prepare for that crazy argument to come out when they argue for grooming 12-year-olds and stuff. That's literally what the guy said. Yeah, okay, good. That's what the pedo guy was saying. Because it's based in logic, but it's not based in reason.
Starting point is 00:58:39 The other thing is, when you get someone to consent under duress, it's not a real form of consent. If they don't understand what they're consenting to they're not really consenting legally right so a child well it's capacity if they have no capacity to consent then you legally cannot you know sign a contract or that person and if you have a gun to their head and say say you like it i like it see he said he like no you can't do that legal that's not a legal admission i'll tell you when it goes too far when we start doing informed consent forms for research studies, for pediatric studies where kids no longer need a parent guardian, because up until the age of 18, pediatric studies, and this is, you know, agreed upon by everybody ever since the Declaration of Helensky and all of these other things and uh the belmont reports that kids have to have a guardian that has capacity to sign that so when they start you know conducting research studies and you know
Starting point is 00:59:31 god forbid you know your kid gets enrolled in a study or something and they didn't have to have you sign it that's when you know you've gone too far have you seen that no no and you can't that's ethical violation you can't conduct research that way. But it is a good marker. I mean, at that point. Yeah, that's when you know. And I wonder if that'll be introduced more gradually. You know, why does your 12 year old need to know about consent? Like, are you teaching them about consent before you're teaching them about safety? Right.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Like they should know by 12 that it's inappropriate for adults to approach them and talk about these things. Right. They're saying the opposite. They're saying. Like, it's weird that they're like, well, before anything, let's make sure you understand consent. And they might guise it as safety. Right. When you're older, maybe you'll need to know this.
Starting point is 01:00:26 But like, really, it's prepping. It's, I know we're not supposed to say this, but grooming. If the kid thinks that they know and society is telling them that they know, then what do they know other than that they know? Yeah, and like, what are kids famous for? For being like, I know everything. I know better than anyone ever at all times.
Starting point is 01:00:44 Because that's just part of growing up, right? So if you're like, well, I've taught them about consent, and they say they know, and they're 12 or 13, like, it just creeps me out. I don't know. The only time that Kamala Harris has ever said something that was ever correct was that one video where she said kids are just really dumb,
Starting point is 01:01:01 and they're going to do dumb things. But then her party now wants them to vote and now wants them to affirm to medical treatments and you know sexual relations so I don't know I want to talk about Mr. Beast and Hasan Piker because we had this
Starting point is 01:01:17 story the other day that we didn't get into Mr. Beast cured I think it was a thousand people's cataract blindness with surgery. And Hasan Piker got a bunch of, what is this, 24.8 million views? Are you kidding? Holy crap. Look at this.
Starting point is 01:01:34 That's on Hasan's one? So this tweet got 24.8 million views. The video was played 6.8 million times. And it says, Twitch streamer Hasan explained why he was filled with rage from watching Mr. Beast's newest video where he cures a thousand people's blindness. So let's play this. It's only 45 seconds long. And I think this is an important point. You watch the video.
Starting point is 01:01:59 Go. Oh, how cute and how nice. I watch the video and I'm filled with rage. What's wrong with you that we shut off access to a 10 minute procedure because we paywalled it and decided that like some people just simply can't get it it is so insanely frustrating that it like it's up to like one youtube guy to like decide to make content out of it that like the people who are too poor can't just fucking see that's insane anyway sorry it's just like a deeply deeply frustrating concept he's 80 right we didn't we didn't cut off access to cataract surgery it just costs money
Starting point is 01:02:38 and he is right though that it's up to some youtube guy to make content out of it to give these people the surgery they need but you know why a lot of people were ragging on him uh saying like he just discovered what charity is and things like that and i'm like as long as we're giving a hundred billion dollars to ukraine i'm with this guy that hundred billion dollars could be used to cure blindness of american citizens who are living in america in a country that we're supposed like that is us literally literally us. So, while I don't agree with him on like, it's paywalled, and we should just do it. It's like, well, look, you got to pay a guy to do it.
Starting point is 01:03:10 You know, you got to cover his costs and everything. You got to incentivize him. You can't enslave him. But how much money did we send to Ukraine? $108 billion? At least. How much money does this cost? $10,000 or $10 million?
Starting point is 01:03:25 If that, how much do you think it costs for this surgery to cure cataracts? I think $10,000 is a good guess. I'm checking it out now. So we're talking $10 million? Yeah. $10 million. Plus maybe a little bit more if he's housing them or flying them out or whatever. Right, bringing them in.
Starting point is 01:03:43 But maybe it's not $10,000 for this surgery's four or five and i'm just sitting here thinking like well you know i don't think we should just take people's buying power through taxation or through printing of money to then give someone else some kind of medical treatment so i probably disagree with hassan on that one but look if if if we're in a country that's sending all this money overseas for like gender studies programs imagine if if instead of Pakistani gender studies programs, we were like, we're going to cure a bunch of people's blindness. Reinvest. So I got to agree.
Starting point is 01:04:10 It's kind of annoying that it's up to some YouTube guy to make content out of it for these people to actually get the treatment they need. Meanwhile, they don't fix our streets. They don't fix our bridges. Here's what I'm saying. I'm not necessarily saying that we should have taxation to fund this infrastructure or a new deal. I'm saying so long as they're taking all of our money let's compromise and be like spend it on us fix our bridges fix our roads create create jobs and construction that can
Starting point is 01:04:34 restore our infrastructure secure our borders bring bring manufacturing plants back here instead it's war in ukraine a border country in which we are not on the border of, and then our people are blind and the YouTube guys got to clip their eyes. He also gave people 50 grand, a bunch of them. And one guy, he gave a new Tesla because he had never been able to drive. I saw this. The video is great. You guys should watch it if you haven't seen it. And he's like, when I get my eyes fixed, I'm going to get a car and drive.
Starting point is 01:04:59 That was his dream. And Jimmy, Mr. Beast, Jimmy Davidson. I think it's Jimmy Davidson. Donaldson. Donaldson, Jimmy Donaldson. I mean, what a guy. He bought him a Tesla. He's like, crazy. Beast, Jimmy Davidson. I think it's Jimmy Davidson. Donaldson? Donaldson, Jimmy Donaldson. I mean, what a guy. He bought him a Tesla. He's like, crazy.
Starting point is 01:05:08 And here's your Tesla. Pop culture covered this today. Pop culture crisis. And they- The sound thing or the- The Mr. Beast covers this because a bunch of people on Twitter were like, well, he's the antichrist.
Starting point is 01:05:20 Like, who is he to cure blindness in people? And we're like, what? Like, give this guy a break. Like, I understand the objection that he has. And I totally agree with you. Like, if we're spending billions of dollars on Ukraine, it's hard not to be an American citizen and be like, we have problems that if you were going to spend this money, you should spend it domestically.
Starting point is 01:05:37 But I also think, like, we shouldn't at all make this Mr. B's fault, right? Like, he tried to do a nice thing. He has a lot of money and he's trying to help people. Don't frame it as Jimmy cured their blindness. The guy, the people cured their own blindness with the help of medical technology that Jimmy sponsored. That's the story. He wasn't like Jesus hands
Starting point is 01:05:58 on people, which he probably could have done. And he made a ton of money because of it. Oh yeah, the revenue on that is probably insane. And just the PR is priceless that's the that's the thing nobody you know nobody ever thinks about is the pr in charity is amazing and you know there's no there's no better return on investment when it comes to advertising well i was talking about this earlier imagine if imagine if big corporations did things like this for marketing. Their whole thing was, we got a $50 million marketing budget this month.
Starting point is 01:06:29 I know. Let's do the most good possible because it'll generate attention. Imagine if Pepsi was like, I know how to get the best, most viral. Look at this. Remember that commercial they did with that Jenner lady and she walks up to the cop and hands him a Pepsi? Oh, yeah. Think about how much money they spent on that and how it was just like bad.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Bad times. Honestly, maybe not a flop. We remember it, don't we? Yeah, I remember it. I guess you're right. So maybe they're like, hey, it was a success
Starting point is 01:06:51 but they spend a lot of money on commercials that don't do anything. I'll tell you this right now. Pepsi, Coke, you want, look at what Mr. Beast did. Take your marketing budget
Starting point is 01:07:00 for the month and then just like get a bunch of homeless people a good meal, cleaned up get them get them help them find you know jobs help them clean up their lives and then you're gonna get you're gonna get 50 million views yeah you're gonna get 100 million views i mean let me tell you what would piss you guys off the most is how much big pharma ad agencies probably get paid
Starting point is 01:07:22 to make those generic commercials where it's just like b-roll of people just doing like basic things like people skipping through people skipping through a meadow people going to a bar and they literally make commercials for drugs like you see it every single drug commercial just has like people on random things like people on a cruise ship and it's like scooters like going down and they spend millions they spend millions on those ads just throwing it down the drain and it's just like you sort of think about how much money is wasted yeah and how that could actually be used to pay it forward like this well and i think about like uh the ronald mcdonald's house that was mcdonald's big initiative to like give people a place to stay when your kids in the hospital and like wendy's has the dave thomas foundation for adoption like there are businesses that have
Starting point is 01:08:05 philanthropic efforts but and i'm not saying those two are perfect examples but like often it's like look at this thing that we're doing as opposed to just doing the thing right like yes mr beast made a video of this yes he made money on the other hand like i i don't really follow his content but like from what i know this is sort of something he does. He regularly tries to help people out. If you had a pharmaceutical company that just did a nice thing instead of staging a photo op, I guess I just don't trust them not to sort of cheapen the effect, right? It's about money. And counterpoint to what you guys are saying.
Starting point is 01:08:41 How about we invest in you know doing these things you know if you start making a big deal about you know like giving away medical treatments and stuff and you're a company that does that medical treatment which you know logically that's what you'd be equipped to give away who's going to buy your product anymore because they can just wait for you to give it for free like this is what happened in africa when we started you know doing all the food drops you know agriculture stopped because again everybody was sort of subsisting off of a lot of food drops and so we sort of crippled them and that's just human nature so yeah to a degree I can see it but I can also see you know when you start like de-incentivizing the profit motive companies don't invest in you know researching these treatments to come up with new ones company you know we can we can get Pfizer all the crap we want about what they're doing but at the same time again
Starting point is 01:09:28 if one drug and I know this is going to sound terrible but you know if them making that money allows them to fund one drug that can save somebody from a terminal rare disease you know it's kind of like well you know it's evil but you know i kind of see it's but you want the other drug yeah exactly yeah that's hard i mean it reminds me of like um do you remember tom shoes the like oh yeah they just the economy in those in those regions yeah but their whole thing was like if you buy a pair of shoes from us like you're spending money but we're giving shoes away right so like theoretically this sounds good but there are of course consequences they destroyed the economy in a bunch of african towns yeah because the
Starting point is 01:10:10 cobblers all went out of work yeah and couldn't buy anything everybody had free shoes but it was you know the the guy who gets the leather goes to the cobbler the cobbler then makes the shoes and then buys the leather all of a sudden no one's buying leather anymore all of a sudden the guy who who makes the shoes can't make money now because he can't make money he's not buying the leather guy who gets the leather can't make money he can't buy food neither can buy food now the farmer is like i don't have any money to get the tools i need to make food and the economy just collapsed yeah each of these jobs is important because they were all working for each other making the machine work and then some rich people came in and dumped a bunch of shoes on them
Starting point is 01:10:42 no i'm saying like you know, people who are blind need surgery. I mean, that's just giving jobs to doctors, I guess. Jimmy actually pointed out, is this not even like a great thing for capitalism in general to put, you know, people that were before, you know, broken or hurt back into the workforce now? They're healed, they're healthy, they're ready to work. So that's a good thing for capitalism as well. But what he was doing technically, I don't know if you'd say it was a capitalist thing or not. It's irrelevant.
Starting point is 01:11:09 I think it's charitable, right? Form of charity for sure. But he's made a ton of money off it with his YouTube ads. And he's doing it for money. I mean, he's doing it because he loves people. That's the real reason. But he knows that he can make money off of charity. He started with his mom when he paid off her retirement.
Starting point is 01:11:22 That video went crazy. He's hugging her and he's like, get this, this will be a good screenshot for the video, mom. And then like oh my god jimmy and he's like thumbs up but is that wrong like if you are doing something good but you make money off it like you benefit especially when you see i mean he is an example of how great something like that can become yeah he's like oprah yeah he's give much stuff away and he owns his own everything does she still do that like just like no cause she's retired now she like does her one
Starting point is 01:11:47 dramatic interview a year dang but I'm pretty sure it was like the companies would sponsor giving that stuff away it's like she was giving it away yeah that's the thing about him he makes the money
Starting point is 01:11:55 and he gives it away yeah he said he's gonna give all his money away before he dies all of it and the problem I think that's a bad idea
Starting point is 01:12:02 help him to keep it so the I've thought about this you know like where do you invest and what charities do you support and that's a bad idea. Help them to keep it. So I've thought about this. You know, like, where do you invest and what charities do you support? And that's why we're working on the truth in media one. Because the issue is, I see these stories like Bezos' wife, Mackenzie Bezos, gives all that money to Wokeness. So these people are like, I'm going to do good. I'm going to give my money to Black Lives Matter.
Starting point is 01:12:21 And then you're like buying people mansions, not really solving the problem. And I've had experience with these nonprofitsprofits so i just don't trust them yeah and a lot of people like i'm gonna give my money away and i'm like you're gonna flush down the toilet it's like it's like uh sam bankman freed and his uh effective altruism oh yeah and he's talking about oh how can i give them the most causes that cause the most good and then he just donates the democratic party because he believes that the Democrats cause the most good. He donated people's money, other people's money. That's the money. There we go, that's the distinction.
Starting point is 01:12:51 So again, somebody would say, oh, that's like Robin Hood, but then, you know. It's reverse Robin Hood. It's a chaotic, evil version of Robin Hood. We gotta talk about this. We gotta talk about these two stories because we were talking earlier about cultural decay and societal decay. We were talking about how um it was a jack posobic his neighborhood
Starting point is 01:13:09 was falling apart he's never gonna he hasn't brought his kids back to see his childhood home welcome to milf manor the most repulsive exploitative sordid hate to hate show of all time where blindfolded moms rub down shirtless sons and TV finally hits rock bottom. This is a MILF, MILF manner where moms go and get a bunch of sons and they rub them. This was a 30 rock joke on 30 rock. They made MILF Island and they're actually doing the show right now. And then I want to give a special shout out to Dana White for power slap. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:42 Power slap said to have its pay-per-view debut in March with the league's success. This is the show where people slap each other in the face. I take turns to do it. And it's like you got to not get knocked down and get back up or something. This is literally on my balls. Have you guys seen Idiocracy? No. No.
Starting point is 01:14:01 In Idiocracy, it's Luke Wilson. It's a research experiment for hibernation. They forget about him. It's funny Wilson it's a research experiment for hibernation they forget about him it's funny it's Mike Judge and then he wakes up 500 years in the future
Starting point is 01:14:10 he goes to some guy's house and then is there something is there audio playing oh there is and then yeah they're cheering for the slap foot
Starting point is 01:14:17 and then he's watching a show called Ow My Balls and it's literally a guy who's just like he falls on a fence he goes Ow My Balls
Starting point is 01:14:24 and then like someone throws a football and he goes oh Ow My Balls and it's literally a guy who's just like, he falls on a fence and goes, Ow My Balls! And then like someone throws a football and goes, Ow My Balls! And that's the whole show and then the guy's watching and going, this is that,

Starting point is 01:15:37 The one where the guy's face is huge on the left side. This one? This guy. So what they're doing is they're standing with their arms behind their back about two feet away from each other across a table and they are not allowed to guard or defend.

The thing is, they have this as well. Apparently, it's a sport in Eastern Europe or something like that. I don't know where it originated. No idea. But they don't step into it. They just stand and slap a fist. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:16:15 And this, they take a full step and can turn their whole body and get their whole weight behind it. And it's so much more force. Do they not have the vision? Sometimes, like... And they can use palm strikes like I said it just it takes the sport of slapping another person yeah it's not a sport and then it
Starting point is 01:16:32 just it just makes it knock out the palm those knockouts the bone on the palm coming behind the jaw and like pull it forward in some of the strikes it is it is like I hope I'm afraid someone's gonna get killed and then it's gonna to be great news. Like Dana's just laughing about it.
Starting point is 01:16:47 I don't know. I haven't talked to Dana about it. How do you win? Like you just, they go back and forth and they hit each other until someone can't stand anymore or has a seizure? Until someone either bows out or gets knocked unconscious. And is this like, is this like with UFC, there's like weight classes, right? Like, do you pair people up based on size or is it random?
Starting point is 01:17:03 Like. No idea, but I don't think so. There's a women's division. I saw two. I haven't seen a guy in a woman a man. Okay yet Yeah, at least power slap on YouTube does actually do they actually show yeah, I'm sure they will here right in the beginning They're like highlighting that these gruesome knockouts welcome to power slap from the fight capital of the world las vegas nevada it's not really this sport that we're about to be in it will be up there with boxing you'll be up there no it won't this is so dumb and i'll be able to be a pioneer within this sport i've been through a lot in my life growing up on the streets so i deal with laughing on the streets there ain't gonna be no chance of me quitting I was brought up in a quite rough area so yeah
Starting point is 01:17:50 I've had to look after myself a few times I think that will help the competition I just grew up tough we had nothing you know so I want some of you things to have something to come feel all this rage and all this pain in this hand because i'll put it in their face i came out here to do one job and one john bowley and that's to put on a show i don't gladiator fights i hurt people that's what i do nobody touch me i'm untouchable baby you gonna remember my name this is where we're gonna separate the men from the boys. The hardest hitters, a lot of trash talking, a lot of energy from start to finish.
Starting point is 01:18:31 You're just going to get into it. I don't care who you are. I got to say, I'm a huge fan of Dana White, the UFC. I love it all. This show just is really confusing. Hit me with you. I think he's got the song. Oh, yeah, he's totally wound up.
Starting point is 01:18:47 Yes, it's just knockout porn, dude. Knockout porn. That's all it is. Yeah, that's a great way of describing it. This guy's going to have a CTE. This guy's going to have a trauma. Hey, now, we are doing this for free on WorldStarHipHop. Yeah, I knew back in my day.
Starting point is 01:18:59 Wait a minute. How is, what, I don't get it. What is this? It's a bastardization of something that's already popular that dana weiss yeah i was gonna say all of this reminds me of ufc yeah just except for the actual content the skill that's when they get that the the palm bone across the cheek jaw it's like the work critical yeah but look like in in uf and MMA, people, they fight, they block, they defend, they make mistakes. It's like...
Starting point is 01:19:28 It's a sport. It's a chess. It's combat. It's strategy, yeah. It's really interesting. This is stand still, I'm going to try and hit you as hard as I can, and you're going to get hit. Someone tweeted out, what is it next? Like, see who can survive a stabbing the best?
Starting point is 01:19:40 Eventually. If you ever watch the show How I Met Your Mother, they had, like, a slap bet, right? And, like, if you lose the bet, you, like, one character gets to hit the other one as Met Your Mother they had like a slap bet right and like if you lose the bet you like one character gets to hit the other one as hard as he can like whenever and it's like that
Starting point is 01:19:50 cross UFC like I don't I don't understand why this would be fun also like are they gonna try to do like the wrestling thing
Starting point is 01:19:59 where they're like oh well these two have a rivalry because he hit him really hard in the face like I got it it's just weird you guys ever played doorknob when you were younger and then you punch him in the shoulder
Starting point is 01:20:08 or something no no until they touch a doorknob exactly you yell doorknob and then you're allowed to hit him in the arm until they touch the doorknob or they fart and say safety and you can't call doorknob that's the game we get a bunch of guys in a ring and they're all standing around and then everyone's got to eat a can of beans an hour before the event and then you're standing there and then as soon as someone hears it everyone yells
Starting point is 01:20:31 doorknob and then you'll hear the guy yell safety and then the timer will call and be like it's good and they'll go they'll all start running
Starting point is 01:20:36 and start wailing on the guy trying to get to the doorknob but the doorknob's on a string and it's swinging back and forth and like occasionally disappear it's swinging around or he's got to open, or somebody pulls a card
Starting point is 01:20:46 and like the doorknob's in a box, you got to open boxes as quick as you can try to find it. Where's the key? Where's the key? Where's the key?
Starting point is 01:20:53 Combat doorknob. That would be more artful than this. Yeah. Honestly, like there's got to be some kind of skill component. It can't just be
Starting point is 01:21:02 who can get the critical hit. Like seriously. how do you train for this? Who goes first? Like, do you train to fall down or do you train to slap? Or, like, what's the... Because if you're training...
Starting point is 01:21:11 Do you guys remember in South Park when Cartman would be like, let's Rochambeau for it? I was like, what is that? First, I kick you in the balls. Yeah. Then you kick me in the balls. And whoever's still standing wins.
Starting point is 01:21:19 Yeah, who goes first? That's the thing. And then he goes, I'll go first. And then he kicks him in the... So, like, if you're training in power slap, I would imagine your training, your sparring partner,
Starting point is 01:21:28 they call it sparring, isn't going to try and break your face because you're going in to perform pretty soon. So there might, I can't imagine that they're going as full force. So how can you possibly prepare for something? I don't know. Cause then we thought we have hard sparring too.
Starting point is 01:21:39 And you know, so it depends like, you know, if you're a light spar, maybe you're just focused on like the technical, maybe it's just the fingers, just the tip. But maybe if you're a hard spar and you like giving some full palm action, you like to get real deep in there.
Starting point is 01:21:52 I don't know, man. Is this what we're reduced to? We're having philosophical conversations. American Gladiators was like agility. Who was that? Bill Hicks? He ragged on american gladiators he's like here's 68 channels of it or whatever it's like we made fun of it but that they had padding and they had those big q-tip things and they're like trying to knock each other in the phone pit right at
Starting point is 01:22:17 least that was fun and silly and no one really got hurt american ninja warrior i love american ninja warrior yeah it's fascinating You know what I don't like about American Ninja Warrior? What? It's not fair to women. Oh yeah, the upper body strength requirements. It's not that.
Starting point is 01:22:30 It's the, what is it called? The spider walk or whatever. The wall? The vertical wall? It's two walls and you have to jump into it and put your hands.
Starting point is 01:22:38 If you're tall with a large arm span, no problem. But there are women who are really good, really fit, with great upper body strength and their hands just don't reach.
Starting point is 01:22:48 And I'm like, how are they supposed to do it? Their hands don't reach. That's dumb. But this gives them a chance to be innovative and figure out how to get through it. And then the first one that does it,
Starting point is 01:22:56 we're like, wow, she was so smart. Sideways. Yeah, exactly. Sideways, put her back. I don't care. I feel like, yeah, that's true
Starting point is 01:23:01 and it's fair to acknowledge it, but it's a chance for her to really overcome true adversity. I shouldn't say unfair to women it's unfair to people with smaller stature or shorter arms but it tends to be the women because i'm watching i watched one where the woman she her fingers touch the edge and just falls and it's like she tried like yeah well and like what are they supposed to do if they like readjust the wall so they're closer it's like slightly unfair to all the other competitors like that's what i liked about american ninja warriors they just send anyone down that thing
Starting point is 01:23:26 and like it doesn't matter who you are and like some people struggle on some things other people struggle on other parts of the course like it's fascinating to watch because it just depends on i don't know maybe we should make the doorknob show please cast castle special doorknob the cast castle guys are outside like yeah and then like the two O's and the word door eyeballs looking in. Doorknob. No, it's got to be one-on-one. And it's two guys going to a ring one hour after eating a can of Bush's baked beans. Their main sponsor.
Starting point is 01:23:55 And then they're waiting and they have boxing gloves. But you can't strike the opponent until they fart and you call doorknob. Or, but if they call safety, you can't. And then, you know, that'd be great. That's where we're headed i'm waiting on this this is this is actually going to be gold like this is the next big thing people are gonna be hanging out of bars and be like you want to put on doorknob like you know me and my i used to play that when i was a kid i'm having a hard time saying this but i want to talk about milf island it's making me sad it's milk it's milkor back to true culture yeah yeah back to my what i
Starting point is 01:24:27 understand milf manor is weird what is it okay i have just read very little about it but like it's a bunch of women who you might consider cougars like their moms all of them have to be and they go to i assume you would consider them a cougar i'm not an expert you go to like mech they were filming in mexico but one of the requirements is that they bring one of their single sons so like their son is living with all these guys they're sort of weirdly group dating because as a culture we've decided that's something we're into and like therefore like i saw one clip of it and this one mom is like careful ladies i might sleep with your son like i just don't like it it's so creepy so like if if your mom is single and you have a brother who's also single they could go on this
Starting point is 01:25:12 show but your brother will be living with all these guys who are kind of trying to sleep with your mom bro like imagine imagine that you're going to school and you find out that your mom is on this show and like you're getting roasted this show and you're getting roasted in the class and you have one good clap back and they say, but your mom was on milfiling. What do you say about that? What do you say back to that? You just hang around in shame and then go to a different school.
Starting point is 01:25:35 Or I would be like, my mom ran milfiling. I feel like you would. I feel like you would be like, go mom. I'm proud of you. At this stage of my life, yeah. Or in all seriousness, you're going to be like, yeah, well, at least, I'm proud of you. At this stage of my life, yeah. Or like in all seriousness, you're going to be like, yeah, well at least she won.
Starting point is 01:25:47 How do you win? I don't know, but somebody. What is winning this show? You get voted off the island or something? It's different for everybody. Yeah. I can't believe this is history. Define your own victory.
Starting point is 01:25:55 So what, they each bring a son and then they pass their sons around to other ladies and that's it? I've never seen a full episode, but like it's like. What were those things called where the swinger parties, they would bring out,
Starting point is 01:26:04 they put all their keys in a bowl? Yeah, white parties. I think that's what those are called. What was it called? White parties. You put all your keys in a bowl, and then they mix them together, and when you're leaving, you grab it, and then- White parties might be coke parties.
Starting point is 01:26:14 Yeah, probably that. This was a swinger party. Yeah, I almost went to one of those swinger parties. I almost went to one with this girl in LA, and I just, I never did. It's kind of weird. It went a little crazy. That's kind of weird. It just seems weird to me.
Starting point is 01:26:24 Swingers. This one seems particularly weird because what, what conversations are you guys having where it's like, come on, John, please come on the show. Like, mommy really needs to meet a younger man. It's probably from the people from the porn generation that saw porn when they were kids. They were raised when they were 11 and 12, watched MILF porn. Probably the producers of the show watched MILF porn when they were in their, you know, when they were younger.
Starting point is 01:26:43 I want to be in that boardroom. I want to figure out what those people were on, man, because they were on the good good. Let's just switch to something a little bit more wholesome. Have you guys seen Professional Tag? Yeah. That's fun. It's like an obstacle course,
Starting point is 01:26:56 and one guy's got to get away from the other guy, and he's running around. That's fun. They're jumping through obstacles and swinging through bars, and the guy's just trying to touch him. I see that. That's fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:04 Pro take. We've got to have a professional Red Rover or something. That would be so cool. And the guy's just trying to touch him. That's fun. Yeah. We got, we got to have a professional red Rover or something. That would be so cool. I don't know how you would. You got to have like the Tim Katz variety and like game show where like every time you just come up with like a new game show every week, we could totally do that at the, at the new studio because of that big building.
Starting point is 01:27:19 I was thinking of a game called, do you want to live where you, I don't even know. On YouTube. It's a skit. So I don't know if it's going to play for TV, but we can do it behind the scenes. You know, do you want to live where you i don't even want to talk about this on youtube it's a skit so i don't know if it's going to play for tv but we can do it behind the scenes you know do you want to live and it's like based it's a joke about the canadian assisted suicide stuff where like people come in they're suicidal you're like well do you and then you you get them all inspired but then the skit would be like at the end of the show like the family comes in like so
Starting point is 01:27:40 thank you so much i love my life and then they're like yeah i thought about it but i still want to i still want to kill myself I'm going through with it you know God it's so dark no no yeah what you do is so I watched this thing
Starting point is 01:27:50 it said that every person who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and survived yeah regretted it said that they yeah they regretted it they realized
Starting point is 01:27:57 and then as soon as they jumped the first thing they thought was that all of life's problems could be solved except having just jumped off this bridge so that means people who didn't make it were in regret. So you take people who are looking for a maid and then you make life flash before their
Starting point is 01:28:12 eyes in a manner of speaking. And then they're all of a sudden like, I love life. It's like in Fight Club. Remember in Fight Club when Tyler Durden holds up the liquor store guy? Oh, yeah. And he's like, Raymond, what is it, K. Hassel, what did you want to be? And he's like, a vegetarian. And he's like, and why aren't you?
Starting point is 01:28:28 It's too hard. And then he says something really awful that I'm not going to repeat because we're on a family-friendly show. And then he's like, I know where you live. If you're not on your way to becoming a vet, I will come to your house or whatever. And then he runs.
Starting point is 01:28:40 And then Edward Norton's like, why would you do that? What's the point? And he's like, tomorrow, Raymond Castle's breakfast will be the most delicious meal he's ever tasted. Yeah. Can I go back to Melf Manor for a second? Sorry.
Starting point is 01:28:51 Yeah, please. Family friendly. Something just crossed my mind. They couldn't make this show in reverse. It couldn't be like DILF, like Dad's Island, right? You're a single dad, but you have a single daughter,
Starting point is 01:29:02 and you guys come to the island, and then date each other. You couldn't identify as milf though then it's okay but you know what i'm saying like if it was dads and daughters like creepy everyone would be creeped out it was so weird the dads would get angry with each other hopefully you got to give it 10 years yeah like i just don't understand it probably wouldn't do well if it was called like young studs too if it was focused on the young guys that were going to get laid with the older women, that might not play as heartily as like, we're doing this for the ladies. Like this is all about strengthening women in our society.
Starting point is 01:29:32 Yeah. I just don't like this at all. No, that's weird. Also like- The gamification of porn, man. Yeah. That's a good way of putting it. I just feel like if it's creepy, if you made it adult men and younger girls, like it should,
Starting point is 01:29:43 you should also see it as creepy if it's older women and younger men it's not just ft epstein's island at that point i don't know we were i was i was talking about how we're going to do like a a morning show that's news kind of like the view but with sane women because uh i we've had we've got you know women who work here moms and then other people who have asked like is there is there some way there can be a show that's like moms talking about issues that matter to them in politics and culture because the view certainly ain't it. And then I was like, we could totally do it. We've got a bunch of people that come in and out of the show who are friends of ours, that are guests, that are moms, that talk politics, that are sane, moderate,
Starting point is 01:30:22 conservative or libertarian, even a little liberal. Sounds good. Someone just super chatted. Scrubby McScrubberson says, please name the morning mom news show, Milfcast IRL. We won't, but I appreciate the super chat because that was a good one. That was a good one.
Starting point is 01:30:37 I actually am really excited for the new space and they're hard at work on it, but we can totally do fun little game show things. I'm down for that. We should totally do it with Cast Castle. Have weird contests. Yeah, Hole in the Wall. I was a huge fan of that game show.
Starting point is 01:30:52 Yeah, that's a good one. That's so cool. They'd be standing on a moving platform, and the wall would be moving towards them, but there would be a cutout on the wall of the body. Yeah, they have to make the same position and stand in the right spot, or they get pushed off the platform.
Starting point is 01:31:04 And it's so funny. They'll turn at the last minute and they're like, ah! Because they realize they're three feet off and then they're trying to modulate. Yeah, we should think of weird stuff we can do that's not vulgar and disturbing. Bring back MXC.
Starting point is 01:31:18 No, I mean... What's that? You know, we could do like... You guys want MXC? Like Red Rover contest or something. You can't really do a Red Rover because it's not really a game we closed on the dude hard
Starting point is 01:31:26 in that game once it was Tom I don't remember his last name we could do like I hope you're okay Tom pro freeze tag it was for 35 years ago but you're okay
Starting point is 01:31:34 oh yeah pro freeze tag that'd be so fun yeah I think part of like entertaining stuff is like I think so many people
Starting point is 01:31:43 who make entertainment right now are like it has to either be are like it has to either be sexual or it has to be super violent and actually like what's entertaining is seeing people like try hard you know i mean like with uh american age warrior like pro freeze tag like people are trying to accomplish something and like we we like that we root for people who are trying to like achieve somebody somebody uh super chatted saying dilf this is uh heron gaming saying dilf island would be two shows in one it would become an mma show yeah so how about dilf island
Starting point is 01:32:12 this actually this would be a really great great scratch a really great sketch where it's like 10 mma fighters with 20 year old daughters and they're all brought in and it's just all the dudes beating the crap out of them. Like he's trying to talk to this girl but also he's got his eye on his daughter and that other guy
Starting point is 01:32:29 who's talking to her. Like it'd be terrifying. That'd actually be a great show but also like all the men would be accused of being super creepy and like I think
Starting point is 01:32:37 that should apply to these women who are like you're the same age as my son. Great. And they're rubbing their chest like what?
Starting point is 01:32:43 It's ridiculous. It's weird. It's super weird we live in a weird weird society this is why i'm like cultural decay man look they're rebooting king of the hill really not rebooting they're restarting it they're doing new seasons and like britney murphy who voiced luann's not around anymore and what bobby hill is going to be the same little kid or something they're're doing a new Frasier. It's just every- I thought he already got a spinoff.
Starting point is 01:33:07 Frasier is a spinoff of Cheers. And then now they're doing another one and it's just like they keep remaking things. They're out of ideas. Netflix is buying canceled shows and then restarting them. It's like, do we have anything left as a society? Are humans just stagnant and bored?
Starting point is 01:33:20 Well, I think they also don't want to take the risk, right? Like if you put a new show out there, then you are like opening yourself up to cancel if i recycle old material that at one point you were kind of okay with i'm protecting myself a little bit i don't like it uh but that's why i have to watch all the fast and furious movies because i was like very anti-sequel and then i lost a bet on pop culture you've seen any of them i'm up to five i think i've seen one through five but i have to get to nine before the next one are you actually like registering what's happening
Starting point is 01:33:46 or you just have them on I watch them and I take notes so I can like report live it's the most intense journalism I've ever done but like if you love
Starting point is 01:33:55 car movies yeah I get why you're into it I am not into them so I don't tend to become very invested in them like Fast and Furious
Starting point is 01:34:03 yeah Fast Cinematic Universe yeah no I disagree they went to outer space stop saying that that's not a good reason
Starting point is 01:34:11 they jumped cars out of planes and we were like whoa this is amazing now they got cars in outer space but they could have done that they could have done that
Starting point is 01:34:17 in a different movie with different characters and we would have been like whoa cars in space no no no look look look it's the evolution of the movie series
Starting point is 01:34:24 that makes it so amazing. It's like every movie they do, they add something to it. And now that they're going on to like, what is it, episode 10 or whatever? They already went to outer space. I'm ready to see Vin Diesel get superpowers. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:36 No. Yes. Or a mech suit. Or a transformer. A villain shrinks down his car and goes into a guy's body. And then he has to shrink down his car and chase him through the veins.
Starting point is 01:34:45 They're like driving on the veins. There's like a blood movie. Fantastic Voyage. Oh, is it? But you know the movie where the guy goes and he shrinks down? Except, but like you have a villain element to it. Inner space. Osmosis Jones.
Starting point is 01:34:54 He was like a white blood cell that he went through the body. I just want to know if in the 10th movie there's a Tesla. Because that seems like it makes sense to me. Elon Musk's got to be in it. Like I've never thought about cars so much in my life as I have while watching this franchise. You go to lithium mines and free a bunch of slaves. I will personally lobby any production house or whoever is going to fund this. Discover the magic of Bad MGM Casino, where the excitement is always on deck.

Starting point is 01:36:11 Vin Diesel and the crew are driving, they're testing an experimental new car with like a fusion, you know, plasma reactor that explodes
Starting point is 01:36:22 and the energy hits all of them and they all get a different superpower. and the energy hits all of them and they all get a different superpower. And then, but one of them turns bad and then, like, Doctor Doom. And then, you know, they're fighting and, like, Vin Diesel is, like, super strong and can jump really high
Starting point is 01:36:38 and he, like, punches the ground and the ground explodes and the other guy can shoot lightning from his fingertips or something. One guy gets, like, because when they get knocked out of the car, like, one guy gets the gasoline gets on him and he gets lit on fire
Starting point is 01:36:47 so he gets fire powers. One guy gets hit by the airbag so he becomes wind power. One guy is stuck under the tires so he gets ground power. He turns into a rubber man. You could have the villain get stuck with a bunch of the carbon dioxide from the exhaust and he's breathing it in.
Starting point is 01:37:03 He turns to smoke. There's black smoke coming off him when exhaust. And he's like breathing it in. No, he turns to smoke. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So like there's like black smoke coming off of him when he walks. And he's like, whatever happened to me was a gift. And then Vindos is like, no. And he gets blasted away. And then Michelle Rodriguez is like, no, Dom.
Starting point is 01:37:22 What point is this just like not the same franchise at all? It's not now. It went to outer space. So why not just make a different movie about this? No, no. You realize when you play games like Software Inc. that you can buy IPs so I could buy like an old movie and then put that name on my movie that has nothing to do with it and it would just sell more tickets.
Starting point is 01:37:39 I get that there is just a cult following. There's something about this I'll never totally follow. Ludacris gets the ability to interface with machines. Because that's his character. He's like the tech guy. No, that made me mad. Because when I watched... He's smashed into the car.
Starting point is 01:37:52 He's plugging in the USB right as the blast hits him. He's like, yeah! He's a technomancer now. Yeah, exactly. And then all of a sudden, he's like, I can see. And he's like, Neo. And he goes like this. And then the car moves.
Starting point is 01:38:03 And he's like, I am the cortex. See, that annoyed me. And he goes like this and then like the car moves and he's like, I am the cortex. See, that annoyed me. He was like, I think it's like the fourth or the fifth one. I just watched it recently. Like he was like this nice guy with an Afro and he waves the flags and he collects the money. But then they wanted to bring it back. So they're like, we got to give you something to do.
Starting point is 01:38:17 He built a spaceship. You know how to unlock the vault. I haven't seen that one yet. Don't ruin it for me. He built a spaceship. Man. He went to outer space with it. I knew we had it in him.
Starting point is 01:38:24 Like, I just don't get it. Like, why the spaceship man he went to outer space with it i knew we had it in him like i just don't get it like why why is this the trajectory but i realized that i just think about think about i have a lot more to go like whatever they're on 10 i think and then but look they already superpowers are already in it i've talked about this in hobbs and shaw which is a spinoff idris elba's a super soldier cybernetically enhanced like bulletproof or something i'm i'm totally down for this and then in the 11th one they fight transformers then you bring optimus prime and and and you know in it and then it's you know it makes perfect sense it's right itself keep it going into absurdity it would actually kill because we're not in absurdity yet imagine this imagine optimus prime has got a blade through his chest and he's like, Dom, you must stop Megatron.
Starting point is 01:39:05 And then Megatron's like, no! And swings. And then Dom, they both punch and there's like little Dom and big Megatron and their fists are like... And that's the trailer. I would spend 50 bucks to see that movie. And you all would too. Everybody knows it. Dom's got to say a line like,
Starting point is 01:39:22 and this is for my new family. He has to mention family a bunch of times. Always, always. I felt bad for him when he was on the run with his sister and her new boyfriend who's also a fed who got you convicted for a car or whatever. It just seems like rough. Old enemies become friends. I didn't feel like that's confused at all.
Starting point is 01:39:38 Have you seen any of these? Just Hobbs and Shaw. Oh, man. The one that Tim was just talking about, the Idris Elba. Let me tell you, you're missing a lot of details. Yeah, yeah. and also none at all it makes me actually angry to think about how
Starting point is 01:39:48 they'll never make a fun movie like that like think about think about the Spider-Man movie they did was it No Way Home no which one which one was it
Starting point is 01:39:56 was it No Way Home where Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were in it was in it yeah that's the new one No Way Home I think so
Starting point is 01:40:03 and it was it was awesome to see like the they rebooted spider-man but they just twice so they just had to bring the other character to say it's like a multiverse and it was it was fun and it was funny and it was cool to see that they brought these other characters back even though they're completely different movie franchises and the rumor is for uh the new so they did infinity war where all the marvel movies come together the rumor is they're going to do Secret Wars,
Starting point is 01:40:26 which is a multiversal saga from Marvel. So they're apparently going to bring in Hugh Jackman from the X-Men movies into the MCU and have all these different characters from different movies in one. I think that's a fantastic idea. I want to see Dom in Fast and the Furious swing a fist with Megatron
Starting point is 01:40:43 and they stop and energy bursts out and Optimus Prime is there. Is it the actual Transformers? Do they get the rights? I don't know. Who owns it? Is it Universal?
Starting point is 01:40:54 Don't they own both? This is just not appealing to me. Look up who owns both. How would you make it better? It is appealing? It totally is. Probably like a woman who falls in love with a guy
Starting point is 01:41:03 and he's a vampire or something. No. That's rude. I don't know. Probably like a woman who falls in love with a guy and he's a vampire or something. No. That's rude. I'd make it a Hallmark movie. Eventually you're going to watch it. Okay, wait, wait, wait. Softer. Optimus Prime is
Starting point is 01:41:14 If it's at Christmas. a small town robot who runs a big house as a truck driver. And when Dom brings his cousin back she's got a busy business boyfriend who's the worst
Starting point is 01:41:28 who's the worst and she falls in love with Optimus and realizes she never left her hometown and then Dom fights Megatron okay I'll think about it
Starting point is 01:41:35 that's better no I mean I guess for me this like I also am not super into the MCU or like the DC thing where it's like here's 87 characters
Starting point is 01:41:42 and movies and like I just feel like the plot gets lost but I recognize that this is a personal like I just am not into it well look don't worry about
Starting point is 01:41:49 all the characters because eventually you're going to watch so much Fast and Furious that every character is just going to be Dom on the screen they're all versions
Starting point is 01:41:58 of Dom it's very weird oh really yeah also things don't make sense and we're just supposed to accept it yeah
Starting point is 01:42:03 we gotta go to Super Chats if you haven't already would you kindly smash the like button subscribe to this channel share the show with your friends become a member at timcast.com we're gonna have a members only uncensored show coming up for you just about an hour and 10 minutes they go up on the website front page every day about 11 but let's read your super chats tracer says i am once again asking for channel member emojis and perhaps even custom colored beanie badges that's a good point let me write down emoji and try to remember to get the crew on that
Starting point is 01:42:32 that's a good idea Tracer I've been playing Overwatch a little bit every day little Heroes of the Storm on my end I play later tonight actually I'm not a fan of Tracer in Overwatch I mean she's got high dps but it's just she's a good assassin killer because she can get in the back lines she's faster than
Starting point is 01:42:50 most assassins she's not in no in overwatch i think just somber is better because somber can stealth just walk right up aim at the head and and then warp out of there it just it just makes a lot more sense than tracer tracer's you know rewind is like a little chaotic anyway knee boop says i respect the flex but i'm not going to call myself jam frank or eric the rad seems cheap what is that what i don't know you don't know what that means tell me about jam frank or eric the right oh historical fig i think like historical figures wow yeah i follow now okay all right we got raymond g stanley jr he says tim i dug the 4 p.m i got to thinking about all the small towns in pa with boarded up windows down in main street and how they'll never come back sad man i was talking about how if you go
Starting point is 01:43:37 to small towns today you'll see the downtown main street all the all like not everywhere but a lot of these small towns there's just nothing yeah it's like in brunswick a lot of these businesses there's just nothing there anymore and it was we drove through recently and there was a shop that's gone now and i was like what happened to that shop that was there like they're closing down amazon's taking over and so i'm just i always tell people i was saying look at that boarded up old building and imagine what it must have been like when it was first built and there's like a young couple that just got married and they bought their first house they're standing in front of it and they're smiling and they're like we're gonna make it
Starting point is 01:44:12 work this is it and they go in there and it's like 1950 something and they're painting the walls and they're just like this is gonna be our dream home and then it's like it's like that movie up you know now it's all broken up falling apart there's no one left anymore so that's crazy i remember i was in um i think i was in ukraine and i walked i saw this old dish like just rusted piece of crap car and i thought about how you know when that car was first sold some dude who bought it was like yes oh brand new 1968 volkswagen and now it's just rusted out rotting and it's someone's junker yeah crazy right all the good feelings all the like you know when you first buy
Starting point is 01:44:50 that car like everything you think you're gonna do with the car and then just to see where it is now like it's it's so disappointing it's almost just tragic I I like buying like vintage clothes and I think about that especially stuff that's like custom-tailored you're like oh this was like someone's like big moment big moment dress or outfit. They wore it somewhere important, and now it's just something I'm buying for a dollar at an estate sale. Depressing. Max Reddick says, can you try to get David Pakman back on?
Starting point is 01:45:16 He was just on Valuetainment, and he seems like one of those my-brain-broke-because-of-Trump type of guy. I've known David Pakman for like 12 years. And yeah, we should invite him out. The thing is, it's hard to get, excuse me, people out who host their own shows. And I'm not gonna like, I'm not gonna be critical of David because he probably can't come on because he literally does his own show.
Starting point is 01:45:37 It's like, hey, cancel your show and come on mine instead. It's kind of a weird thing to ask somebody. And there's a legitimate reason why we just don't Skype people in. It is not the same thing it's just really not i don't know maybe i'm wrong i just kind of feel that way and uh i just i don't think internet conversations are the same as actually having someone in the room it's not because it's digital a lot of it literally uh if if two people try and make a sound at the same time only one of the voices can be registered as a one the other one will be registered as a zero you'll hear mute so two people can't like a sound at the same time, only one of the voices can be registered as a one. The other one will be registered as a zero,
Starting point is 01:46:06 and you'll hear a mute. So two people can't, like you and I can sing harmonies, and since it's an analog conversation, it's not going to, I don't think it'll mess up. I think we should do it too. We've also had good,
Starting point is 01:46:16 we've had good response from like streaming on one channel and then flipping over to the other channel 20 minutes in. So we can stream on David's channel and then flip it to IRO. Yeah, or both or whatever. But if he came out, I'd love to have him on. But I really would love to have Kyle Kalinske, and I think we're going to bring Kyle on. I think Kyle's great.
Starting point is 01:46:33 Yeah, he's awesome. I think we disagree on some political issues, but I remember one of the first experiences I had watching Kyle Kalinske's content was him defending Carl Benjamin. And some leftist was attacking Carl and calling him a white supremacist, and Kyleyle was like that's not true like you can disagree with carl but he's not that guy and i'm like wow like he was being completely honest and i was like i respect that i like the name of his channel secular talk so i imagine at some point he had some sort of religious like epiphany or something whether it was to get away from it or to go toward i'd love to hear his story
Starting point is 01:47:01 about that plus it makes sense that i think he's getting married to crystal ball and she's also very similar like she's progressive but you know obviously her and saga and dead either yeah like they have disagreeing opinions but you know you can have a conversation about what you disagree on but you're having a real conversation so that's why i like i like breaking points you know formerly it was you know crystal and saga were doing uh the hills rising yeah but they're good people. Crystal Kyle and Friends. I think that's the name of the new show. But I do think that they end up associating with a lot of bad faith people. And I suppose people could probably argue that for us as well.
Starting point is 01:47:34 Some of the people who come on the show are probably bad faith. I think my issue is only like, dude, we invite people on. We had the Krasensteins on. Props to them for coming on. But a lot of these lefties won't do it. And I think it's because they're legit grifters. It's like, you can't accuse, like they come out and they'll call us or other people on the right grifters when quite literally Ben Shapiro is like, please come on my show to
Starting point is 01:47:56 have a conversation. And they're like, no, it's like, how is it grifting if he wants you to go on his show and say literally whatever you want? Yeah. No, they're full of it. They're full of it, man. It's just, uh, it's one of those situations where, again, if you don't believe what you're saying, if you don't care about it enough to at least have a baseline, then yeah, you're a grifter
Starting point is 01:48:11 in the worst way. Now, if you're just making money from it, then I mean, that's not bad. Like, you know, you're not a grifter because you at least believe it a little. All right. Scroats Magote says, Tim, I can't help but notice that nobody, including you, has mentioned the drone attacks on Iran over the weekend. Well, I don't really know what to add to that conversation or what to say. I mean, what do you guys think?
Starting point is 01:48:29 I was first to have heard of it. Still a developing story, honestly. But I mean, you know, for what we know is Israel was involved and or at least that's what they claimed. And, you know, right now it's got some implications because, you know, Russia, those Shahed drones that they use to basically, you know, put Kiev in the dark came from Iran. So there's still a lot of stuff coming out about that. So I don't I don't think it's wise to even, you know, render a decision. I tell people this all the time. Tactical patience. Just literally do nothing. Just wait.
Starting point is 01:49:02 Wrath of Paul says last night's episode was one of the best ever matt strickland is an american hero it was very inspiring to hear his story about how he won against tyranny i love sticking it to the man yeah matt strickland of gore melts in virginia google it look it up go ahead down there they got amazing food 90s music it's a gore melt gore melts was it 90s music and brew has something like that i don't know something like that i'm getting the name wrong gore melts is his way to remember it and he's running for uh state senate in virginia so they they try to shut everybody down over covid and he says look these rules don't make sense they said put up plexiglass but he was like how big where how like what if i
Starting point is 01:49:38 put up one inch of plexiglass and they're like yep that's fine he's like but doesn't make any sense why are you making me do this people can wear mat people have to wear masks when they walk in but they take it off when they sit down he He's like, what does that even do? It makes no sense. So he said, I'm not doing it. They eventually came after him. They pulled his licenses. And then he said, okay, well, I don't said, I'm not going to do it. He won everything. He won in court. He won back his booze. He won back his licenses because he just said no and he refused to comply. And you know what the worst thing about the story is? He said that
Starting point is 01:50:16 tons of people hit him up saying what you did was amazing and he says, well, why don't you do it? And they're like, oh no, I can't do that. I don't want to get the health department on me. And it's like, you cheer on the one guy who did, but you refuse to stand up with him. That's brutal, man. Yeah, I think it's an example that you can emulate people like Matt, the amazing guy. It's really hard to do, though, man, because they put him in the pain box.
Starting point is 01:50:38 Yeah, for sure. They really didn't make him put his hand in the pain box. That will is not common. That's the thing. You don't have people just that that will is not common that's the thing you don't have people to have that willpower all right daniel welch says i have history of autoimmune pericarditis always disclosed and accepted for health life insurance recently denied life insurance because of pericarditis i wonder what changed recently very interesting very interesting indeed yeah we didn't we you know well let's let's talk about the msnbc host
Starting point is 01:51:04 for the members only we can get we can go nuts on it. Yeah, you've got a lot of medical knowledge that I think you bring to the table on that. Yeah, we were talking a lot about this. So we'll talk about that. She's like, I had a common cold, and it turned into pericarditis. And then a week later, it turned into myocarditis, and it's been a month and a half, and I still have a cold. And I'm just kind of like, real quick, do people get colds for that long? That is really rare typically if you're immunocompromised something like that could happen and you know
Starting point is 01:51:30 again that's what i was thinking i'm like when i get a cold it's like three days i start i wake up and i'm like oh i'm feeling a little sick then the next day i'm like oh i'm sneezing the next day i'm like wow i'm feeling like i'm getting better and then the next day it's just like oh it's uh what's it the rhinovirusvirus? Yeah. It's actually a family of the coronavirus, believe it or not, still. You know, the common cold. I was reading about it. It says it duplicates at 93 degrees Fahrenheit,
Starting point is 01:51:54 which is the temperature of your nose. So if you have snot in your nose and you're not blowing it out, that's where it's duplicating and duplicating. Oh, wow. Keep that empty. That's why it goes in your nose, huh? Yeah, it's a great breeding ground for the rhino virus John Rittenhoff
Starting point is 01:52:06 says I'm digging Ian's jacket hell yeah dog yeah alright what do we got here AK Storm says a lot of people
Starting point is 01:52:12 I follow that did lock their accounts and their first post is asking if they're finally being seen I saw a bunch of people all of a sudden all my retweets were
Starting point is 01:52:19 gone all of my quote tweets were broken and I'm just like I can't like dude you just cut yourself off from every post and it just is a weird thing man it's a weird thing how long do you think they'll stay locked for i don't know like is this a lifestyle change permanently or a couple weeks maybe but look some people have already went public again people are saying people are saying
Starting point is 01:52:40 like oh you're you're it's it's hyperbole to say twitter is dead and i'm like it's a it's a figure of speech i'm not saying twitter broke i'm saying that if large portions of high profile personalities have locked their accounts and no one can see what they're posting and i can't share their stuff anymore and they did it because no one's getting engagement come on man like it's dead yeah the platform is dying and and and and look it's uh dave rubin did that thread where he said there the code is is a what i call a fractal rube goldberg machine and they're trying to fix the code but they pull one piece out the whole thing starts breaking apart it might just be they're going to rebuild it from the base up they said yeah it might be that the site is under intense anesthesia at the moment and is unconscious fully alive and under in going into surgery
Starting point is 01:53:24 kind of like what you're doing yeah yeah then they're they're gonna have to do that but i mean at the moment and is unconscious, fully alive and going into surgery. Fair point. They're going to have to do that. But I mean, that's taking the company private though. That's technically what that is because you're rebuilding anyways. He did that. Elon did that when he bought it? Yeah, so it's been under anesthesia. Alright,
Starting point is 01:53:40 Jeffrey Perrine says, I think you would love the book of Proverbs, the wisdom book. It's a series of limericks about wisdom and the consequence of rejecting it. It seems similar to things like Confucius written by Solomon. Yeah. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:53:52 Very wise book. I used to read that one actually a lot, but God, I can't remember any of them. It's just too much good stuff. Patriot American says, Tim, when your West Virginia location finally opens, will you be promoting the address so people can submit applications to work there.
Starting point is 01:54:05 Or have you already received applications for it? We have like a couple applications from people who met us at events. But once the location is open and we say what it is, you'll be able to Google it. And then everyone will come. And so this is what I was trying to say to people in the city. Like, look, I think it's a coffee shop. It's going to sell coffee. People are going to go there for breakfast and stuff. But we're going to do
Starting point is 01:54:30 events and we're going to invite y'all out there. So I'm like, this is going to bring people to the area. It's going to be good for everybody. So I think there's a lot of excitement. And, you know, there was an all-ages drag show nearby. And that actually got me close to canceling this location
Starting point is 01:54:45 saying like, I don't want to be in a town that would advocate for this. And then I thought actually the opposite. We're going to bring our influence into this town and just be like, we don't do this here. You can't abandon the territory. That's right. Like if you're in a battleground, you don't just give up.
Starting point is 01:55:00 Yeah, and it's not about like going out there and protesting. It's about saying like, look, you do that, we're going to do an event, and we're going to say no, and we're going to have games and drinks, and we're going to put on, you know what I'll do? I'll put on a drag show, big drag show, biggest drag show, and we'll have food and booze. Of course, that means 21 up and only. No kids.
Starting point is 01:55:21 No kids, no kids allowed. And I will make it so that, look look i don't care if you have a drag show that's that's great like have fun be an adult do weird stuff do fun stuff have a good time no kids this is not for kids and so this influence we can bring in can be more libertarian but it can also be like ain't bringing your kids here and that's what they were doing yeah and that's that's just like it's not appropriate man we're gonna do saturday morning cartoons we call it bring in your kids hang out we'll do catered breakfast you come in we'll figure out whatever it costs everybody gets to eat pancakes eggs
Starting point is 01:55:49 sausage bacon maybe maybe well we gotta have pancakes but i i recommend people avoid the the glutens and the sugars and all that stuff almond flour yeah we could do or a mix at least at least like a like a uh we got this almond flour that has tapioca in it and it's it's really good yeah if you've ever cooked with like almond flour or coconut flour, dude, yeah, you can do some good stuff. You remove the carbs. You add a little bit more fiber, which is good for the gut, and it's just better for you. But then we'll put on approved cartoon shows, maybe like Daily Wire's Chip Chillo when that comes out. Things that are going to instill kids with, you know, like I think Justice League.
Starting point is 01:56:23 That was great. A lot of important lessons. You're like Young Justice. Man. I hate that they canceled that show. Static Shock, I thought, was actually a really great show for teaching kids lessons. Yeah, it did. Yeah, it was good. It was like the kid got caught up in gang violence.
Starting point is 01:56:39 Then, what is it, like the Big Bang happened where all the gas exploded. All the big babies and they became metahumans, basically so now you know he's literally at school with like school super powered school bullies and he's just all the while coping and you know kind of coming into age and learning powers they had the racism episode they had the the homophobia episode where like his friend is gay and his dad is intolerant but they were like i thought it all worked i thought it was all like relatively libertarian so i'm like i think we can we can we can make this work anyway that's going to be fun
Starting point is 01:57:10 i'm super excited for this musa wood says malcolm rolls a 20 black rock and zelensky just came together to rebuild ukraine have you guys seen the video about what the goal for ukraine is a completely digitized society by 2030 yes what if conspiracy theory what if the war is part of the world economic form great reset and putin is the faux villain and they're they're damaging ukraine on purpose because you have to destroy before you can rebuild how do you radically transform something to create what you want if there's a layer already on top of it of a culture and a society. Decimate it. And then, so this is what happened with the NHS in the UK, for instance.
Starting point is 01:57:48 How did you get nationalized healthcare in Europe? World War II. Everything was just destroyed and people had no choice. You had to give people medical care. And so it came from the government. Now it's just a part of their system. Conspiracy theory,
Starting point is 01:58:02 I'm not saying it's true. I'm saying at the very least, whether that's true or not What Russia is doing Will result in a Reconstruction That will be Radically different
Starting point is 01:58:12 Very strange They're going to have The best internet No joke Yeah that's going to be crazy Because when they rebuild it They're going to rebuild it With top tier tech
Starting point is 01:58:18 And they're going to have Like gigabit phones and stuff Good god man You got the best slave masters The most high-tech. Well, and they're over there where all the resources are in. China's basically bankrolling that whole entire region right now. The Ukraine?
Starting point is 01:58:32 Yeah. Well, Russia, basically, but they'll probably get in on it because China likes to make money. That's literally what they do. Yeah, you can see what happened with Rwanda, too. All the internet and everything got so good there. Now it's like the Singapore of Africa, for instance. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:58:45 5G, baby. Let's grab some more. Grofty says, that jacket is nice, Ian. Thanks, Grofty. A lot of people are commenting on that jacket. It's my blue velvet. Velvet, yeah, man. It's awesome.
Starting point is 01:58:59 Blue suede, I was going to call it. Blue velvet. Looking smooth over there. That's a 20-rolling jacket right there. 20-rolling jacket. Gold, green, and blue. suede i was gonna call it blue velvet and looking smooth over there i was about to say that is that's a 20 rolling jacket right yeah i got a golden jacket gold green and blue so far quantum strange quarks is 100 billion dollars would be enough to give every homeless veteran 2.5 million dollars each gotta make sure that math is correct oh god, God. That reminds me of the one meme. I mean, maybe. How many homeless veterans? Oh, the...
Starting point is 01:59:26 The Elon Musk purchasing Twitter meme where people purposely get the number of people that he could have given for $44 billion wrong. Oh, yeah. I remember when that lady went on, I think it was MSNBC, and she was like, what did she say? There's a tweet, and it's like Brian Williams, and he's like, Michael Bloomberg spent $500 million on his campaign. There are 325 million Americans. He could have given everybody in America a million dollars and had change left over, still be rich.
Starting point is 01:59:54 And she's like, it's crazy, isn't it? But it's true. And it's like, he could have given everybody like $1.50. These people don't know. What are you talking about? You don't understand. Elon Musk, bad. Don't question the math.
Starting point is 02:00:07 But $100 billion. That is massive. Yeah. That is a lot of money. Think about that. $2.5 million. It's just 1% of it. Like, you won't even miss it.
Starting point is 02:00:17 Come on. It's going to get sold anyways. Peter Watkin says, Tim, you advertise, put your money where your mouth is. I mean, I did to a certain degree. Right? I didn't go out says, Tim, you advertise, put your money where your mouth is. I mean, I did to a certain degree, right? I didn't go out and like cure a bunch of blind people. I could.
Starting point is 02:00:31 I think it'd be great marketing if we made the same video and we're like the Mr. Beast challenge, spend your marketing budget. How about we do it? How about we do a response to Mr. Beast just straight up saying the best possible marketing ever is helping people. And I guess the issue is, I don't think I have, I don't have nearly as much money
Starting point is 02:00:49 as Mr. Beast does. How many people can we treat? Maybe 15 of them. Well, we're helping Bucco with stem cells. We could do that with cats. We could do it with people's animals. We could do like,
Starting point is 02:00:56 put a million dollars into like, just heal like 150 cats or something or 200 and 300 dogs or something. Just go to like a local vet hospital and pay off everyone's bills yeah if we had a million dollars lying around or or even like a because it's not that
Starting point is 02:01:10 expensive it's like what was the five grand i think for the entire like eight grand for the entire process if we did that for like 100 people or something that'd be but it's not the people it's the cats so it's seeing the emotional response from the humans that are able to see again that really sells the but then the question is do you then make a video and put it on YouTube so you can make revenue off it and then continue this process? And that could potentially be the thing, right? So we spent, I think, like half a million bucks on the Times Square stuff throughout last year.
Starting point is 02:01:38 And this was over like four months. So it's not like all at once. All at once is not possible, but spread out over time with revenue coming in, and then we spend our excess on trying to do something impactful. I think we could potentially do something like that maybe in a few months after we generate enough revenue. Then we can spend it on something. Jimmy was already pulling in revenue, I believe, when he started feeding it back into the system. So he was already self-generating. But I mean, like I said, it works.
Starting point is 02:02:03 It's an investment. So it works. It's actually a pretty nice investment but i mean have have people send in ideas you know and uh maybe like every month like draw yeah every month like draw an idea and have that person you know come see that come see it in action or something all right i guess i got to read this one cage the mix, Tim needs to stop putting black guests in front of black, dark-colored backgrounds. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that it happens every time. There's one guest seat,
Starting point is 02:02:30 and we have the soundproof over the door because it's a bathroom, and there's three layers of soundproofing for obvious reason. So, but, you know, I guess fair point. It's so, it's just a check to see if you're paying attention because one day, one moment I could be here
Starting point is 02:02:45 next moment I could just ninja away you gotta see me people are pointing out the contrast like Hannah Clare is very pale and so this
Starting point is 02:02:52 it's like we used to have that white photo of Joe Biden behind me too I guess we could have swapped seats but like we just always put
Starting point is 02:03:00 the guests there so it has the brand behind him which is nice for when the clips come out you always remember what show it's on well I don't know it's just accidentally don't see color and it's a problem it's always been the guests there so it has the brand behind them which is nice for when the from the clips come out you always remember what show it's well i don't know it's just don't see color and it's a problem it's always been the guests yeah i think it would be weirder if we were like the black guests have to sit over there like i feel like that'd be bad right and i'm like i look i might start giving
Starting point is 02:03:15 you all the eyebrow hold on now i saw the last guest over here wait a minute you're too dark you can't sit there like that sounds awful that is like really see but a leftist would think that that was progressive should we have like emails you've been like but please don't wear black
Starting point is 02:03:31 just wear a white shirt a red shirt a colorful shirt well actually no to be fair you know we would yell at Luke all the time for wearing red
Starting point is 02:03:38 yeah because it the cameras go nuts yeah it turns red or blue yeah it's like you know he ends wearing this crazy jacket yeah if you wore like a white shirt the cameras go nuts. Yeah, it turns red or blue. Yeah, it's like, you know,
Starting point is 02:03:46 Ian's wearing this crazy, crazy jacket. Yeah, if you wore like a white shirt, maybe you would have popped on screen. Like, I feel really uncomfortable. I don't have any kind of white clothing.
Starting point is 02:03:56 I don't know. You remember that commercial where they did this diversity camera thing where they're like, our cameras can actually take pictures of black people. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:04:03 That was like the marketing campaign. Oh, my gosh. Oh, I remember now true town yeah jesus christ i mean i whatever man you know make camera that works it's fine i got no beef yeah as long as everyone understands it's not me guys it's not my fault it's just right over there dog whistling in the corner crispy cave says if you guys are confused by slap fights you have to check out In Car MMA. I've seen that. I think it's where
Starting point is 02:04:30 they fight in a car. No way. Stop. People just do this all the time. Car Jiu Jitsu. Yeah, you found it. Submission grappling inside of a car. Just go to a dangerous city. I don't understand why we're making this. As a Muay Thai practitioner,
Starting point is 02:04:45 I already make jokes about jiu-jitsu practitioners, but to see them trying to get a kimura in the middle, over the dashboard, that's hilarious. I'm looking at lowkickmma.com, and you see a dude jumping over the seat. The dude in the blue is trying to wrestle him down. If you're in MMA,
Starting point is 02:05:04 do UFC fighters transition into this? Is this a launch pad for like a different career? What's the ecosystem here? Typically, you start training at a gym and you start amateur. So you're taking a few fights in like little small amateur leagues. Some people, they go to rap.
Starting point is 02:05:18 They start in street beefs. If you've ever watched street beefs, it is addictive. But then they go to like these smaller leagues, things like, well, we can go in a strike force, but you've got cage tight and stuff, and they eventually just move and they get signed to UFC. It's kind of like boxing. But if you're in UFC now, do you start fighting in the car next? No, then you go to movies.
Starting point is 02:05:37 Oh, okay. All right. I want to grab this last one. What is this? Arnolfo Flores says, hey, hey tim are you willing to accept gold backs as currency in your cafe yes if we're legally allowed to which i think we would be so we actually have a bunch of them we have a couple stacks of the the gold backs that i got a while ago it is gold foil one one thousandth of a troy ounce in a you know bill and it's like laminated or something it's like
Starting point is 02:06:06 sealed i guess or whatever and so it's a it's a gold bill and i think their value is around like between two and five dollars depending one percent of twenty one hundred dollars that's about where gold's at right standard boys so you walk in and it's like someone says will you take a gold back i'd probably say sure all right one i might honestly even accept a barter, to be honest. You come in and you're like, I'd like a coffee. He's like, what do you got? I have this really nifty chain. I'm like, I'll take it.
Starting point is 02:06:33 Someone can walk in and be like, I got an old bike lock. I'm like, throw it in the pile. Turn it into a game. Start bartering for your coffee. I was about to say, you want the venti? You really got to barter there. Wasn't it like fish was paying you in nickels because nickels are worth something yeah you get a discount if you buy if you spend nickels because nickels are
Starting point is 02:06:49 worth more in their metal than they are in their currency yeah all right everybody if you haven't already would you kindly smash that like button subscribe to this youtube channel share the show with your friends because that's what really helps take the url and post it everywhere um we're bigger than cnn already that was the news they they struggled to get as many viewers we as we get and it's kind of a crazy thought so that's kind of funny too bad sorry cnn they get more their youtube clips get hundreds of millions but like as a prime time show live we're actually uh beating them in the key demo and i think we're nearly beating them in all demographics too like we have more we have we have more key demo viewers almost almost more
