Starting point is 00:00:00 It's the end of the world, as we know. And we're back! What's going on, everybody? I'm Tim. That's Adam. I'm Adam. We're hanging out. That's Tim. We're hanging out. There's a ton of news.
Starting point is 00:00:09 Yes, there is. It's starting to get crazy because I guess people are freaking out, but I have this really funny article that I wanted to lead with. Yahoo actually published this guy. Hell is coming. Here is the mathematical proof. But this is truly a glorious idol statue for the late-stage capitalism. Yeah. I guess so.
Starting point is 00:00:31 The story is hilarious. It's basically like— Well, it's not hilarious. No, it is. There's a coin of humor in there. Right. Basically, this guy wrote an article where he's like, Hundreds of thousands will die.
Starting point is 00:00:44 So we're bullish on hospital stocks. Make sure you invest. It's going to be a great return after everyone dies. Yeah, I love it. But there's a bunch of other stuff, too. So we've got, you know, Illinois is now on lockdown. We got the big three. That's Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, all closed.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Makes sense. It's spreading. The lockdowns are coming. And we have a media that is begging for a national lockdown. Begging for it. So there's been a bunch of articles saying like, it's going to happen. It's coming. It's happening. Now we've got, we have one from the Hill literally saying, shut us down, please, Mr. President, bring on the martial law and send out the army and all that stuff. They're doing that in Italy. And so I
Starting point is 00:01:23 decided, you know, take a look at these people that are clamoring for a national lockdown as we're looking at a country actually doing it so first of all china did it yeah they're you know insane locking people in their homes and stuff like that and then we have italy that is now bringing out the army to enforce the lockdown like people in britain and in spain are getting arrested for breaking quarantine there's some reports that it's happening in Israel too. In France too, right? I don't know. I thought I read.
Starting point is 00:01:49 Probably. I wouldn't be surprised. And so now we have people in our own country saying that we need the military to come out. There have been a bunch of viral videos of like Humvees and military vehicles on trains being like shipped through Chicago and stuff like that. People are freaking out. People are tagging me in that. But I think it's going to happen. You know why? We've got data showing that and we were pointing out before the show, the data might be unfair. Right. But it shows that the U.S.
Starting point is 00:02:13 is tracking faster than Italy. And according to one bit of data, the U.S. is seeing more cases of coronavirus. It's growing faster percentage wise than any other country right so our curve of growth infection rates is steeper than all the other countries now that's percentage based so the the thing about the italy stuff is that we've got a much bigger population so if we see more cases well that's just because we have way more people yeah but the percentage is where percentage is where we get starts get freaky so yeah we just had, I think, like 675 deaths in one day in Italy. That's a lot. And you want to know why they brought in the military?
Starting point is 00:02:49 Just to move the bodies, right? To move the bodies. Yeah. That's crazy, man. People are underestimating this. I saw some videos they're doing at night, so it doesn't freak people out. Really? Ooh, man.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Yeah, the end is nigh. So last night, as soon as we finished the show, I made sure to run into the middle of the street in front of my house And started just doing the Joker dance Yeah, you did a little bit Yeah, I just had to do it I took one foot on and I was like, this is too much I can't do it
Starting point is 00:03:15 But it was a matter of principle I will not be contained And then I was like, okay, I'm done, I want to go back inside, I'm tired Came back in I got nowhere to go That was. I want to go back inside. I'm tired. Came back in. I got nowhere to go. That was fun. Let's just go back inside. Let's just jump into it. Let's just do it.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Before we do, if you guys want to hop into Super Chat, we'll read your comments. As most of you know, once we start getting inundated with too many Super Chats, we have to sort of speed things up and we've been getting really slammed. I appreciate all the support, for sure. We'll do our best to read as many as we can in between the segments and we got a ton
Starting point is 00:03:48 of stories celebrities are going insane yeah which is yeah it's not really surprising though because most celebrities are insane yeah they're like aren't they egotistical narcissistic and so they're like they react weird when they have no attention well and I mean we were talking about youtubers
Starting point is 00:04:04 would get depressed when they their no attention well and i mean we were talking about youtubers would get depressed when they their views are down imagine like a-list celebrities that are used to just like paparazzi like what are you doing what are you doing and they're now locked in their bathroom now they're in their homes with absolutely nothing i'm sorry i said wait a minute i said dude that floor bow sam smith uh-huh uh was apparently crying oh breaking down, having a mental breakdown. I don't even know who that is. Florbo's the Florbo who got, I can't do it. He's a guy.
Starting point is 00:04:34 I'm sorry. He's a dude. This is the dude that got sued by Tom Petty for, you know that song that's like, I won't back down. Oh, yeah. I won't back down. Oh, yeah. I won't back down. I remember this whole thing. And then his song was like a slower version that was only similar in that one part. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:51 And he got sued. I thought that was kind of dumb because. And Tom Petty won, right? Yeah. I think it's stupid. Because Sam Smith's like a, he's, you know, he's like 20. Did he even know who Tom Petty was? That's what he says.
Starting point is 00:05:01 I don't even know who this guy is. I've never heard this song before. I don't even know who you are. You know what's the craziest thing, too? And then we find out that his mom played it while she was in her womb. Well, this happens. No, it's not that. It happens
Starting point is 00:05:13 a lot that people will hear a song and they won't know. They'll start humming it. Yeah, it happened to me. It happened to me the other day. What was that song? Oh, that was the Billie Eilish song. Yeah, Billie Eilish song. Did you say Billie Eilish? I did. That's what I call her. Oh, Billie Eilish. Yeah. You know what's really crazy, though? Remember that song,
Starting point is 00:05:30 what's it called? You know the one where the three dudes are dancing and then blurred lines and the naked women are dancing and stuff? They got sued and lost. Really? Because the beat sounded too much like a Marvin Gaye song beat. Really? That's insane to me.
Starting point is 00:05:45 It's like, we're talking about a drum rhythm, and they got sued over it. All I know is the Weird Al song, Word Crimes, came out, and that was amazing. That's a good song. It's so good. Everyone needs to go check that song out if you don't know it. The music video. The music video is awesome. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Yeah, and the music video is awesome, too. All right, let's read the story. story hell is coming here is the mathematical proof drama and then from there we'll take a look at the reality so here's what this guy says and i'm not going to read too much of this we don't need to go through his math but he says right now two million americans are infected with the coronavirus the total u.s death toll by april 15th will be more than 20 000 we estimate that 80 000 of the 2 million infected amer Americans will be hospitalized over the next two weeks. That's why we are short-term bullish on hospital stocks. There's your financial advice.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Is he trying to, like, throw some humor in there? No, this is a legit financial advisory newsletter. Oh, okay. Yeah, so first of all, I don't know where he's getting that number 2 million Americans are infected. I think he's extrapolating. So he goes through the math. He basically makes an estimation based off of – so when you look at the Japanese Diamond Princess, he looked at the amount of people on the ship, the amount that were tested, the amount that were positive, and the amount that were died.
Starting point is 00:07:00 And then from there, blows up his estimation to American proportions and comes to the conclusion there are, you know, 2 million people are infected. I think it's all silly, but sure, whatever. But what's really funny about the story is that it's basically this long explanation of how, you know, Trump is shifting the blame to China and we're gonna have all these people dying. In the average recession, the S&P 500 index declines by 32%. Do you think this is going to be an average recession? So here's what he says. Hospital stocks will financially benefit from near 100% utilization rates because usually their utilization rates hover around 50%. So
Starting point is 00:07:35 it's basically, this is where we are today. So it's great for anyone who has stocks in hospitals. Yes. And he's advising you to short-term do it. There was another bit of financial advice I was reading where they basically said, this is going to come in waves. Everyone's predicting there'll be another wave in November, and that we might actually go into two months of lockdown, one month of open activity, two months of lockdown, one month month open until everyone gets it and then they're immune to it yeah and that'll go on for nearly two years until the vaccine arrives uh
Starting point is 00:08:11 november december 2021 that's that's that was mit review wrote that story and because of that people are saying like these financial advisors are saying don't get back in the market period and there are, put options. Like, bet the stocks will fail. Yeah. That's where we're at. That's what I'm thinking. Like, I have zero interest.
Starting point is 00:08:31 I was like, when it first started happening and it was still like, is it a scare? Is this real? And there was like that, the first day there was like that massive drop. And I was like, oh, maybe I should buy some stocks. And I didn't. Yeah, it was at 25. buy some stocks and i didn't yeah i was like it was at 25 and i i'm glad i didn't and now i'm like i have i don't want anything to do with this at all now it's it now it's it dipped briefly below like 1900 it's crazy man i mean i'm that's crazy it's
Starting point is 00:09:00 gonna keep dropping don't you think i I mean. Oh, yeah, totally. Well, check this out. Boom. COVID-19 cumulative cases, U.S. versus Italy, 11-day lag. So apparently what they're trying to do with these graphs, and we've seen graphs like this before, is to sync up first reported cases from, like, you know, the U.S. to Italy or something. So the dates don't really make a whole lot of sense. Right, right, right. But you can see that the growth. so perhaps this is a different chart. Maybe they're graphing by the amount of people infected, period. But what we end up seeing is that by March 20th, relative to where Italy was when they saw their first infected, we're almost double.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Yeah. And the thing that's – the really important factor here is that the u.s is above a 33 daily increase and there's i believe there's the only other country that's close to spain and spain is actually just below that so the uk is just below it too i think the u.s might be the only country now that's well above a 33 daily increase That means every two days we're more than, or, you know, we're adding,
Starting point is 00:10:06 well, there you go. 33% daily increase. We're also, according to that first article, doubling our deaths every three days. Wow. And we're doubling the total infections every two or three days.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Oh my goodness. Yeah. Welcome to the lockdown, man. It's coming. Yeah. What's a, what's your plan?
Starting point is 00:10:23 It feels like we need it. And like everyone, I mean, we see this and we see what's happening. It's like, who's going to be upset about it? Who's going to want to go outside? I don't want to go to the store. I don't want to go anywhere. I want to stay in this house and stay away from people. But you know what gets me, like, it's kind of crazy that you always hear these dystopian stories
Starting point is 00:10:43 about how the government's going to come down and demand you know you they're gonna lock you in your home you're not gonna be able to speak or say things no everyone's begging for it right now they're saying please please lock us in our well remember in 1984 it we never thought it would be voluntary that they'd be watching us with cameras either and yet here we are we want to be in front of cameras exactly you know it was somebody read 1984 and they were like, you know what? It's not an instruction manual, that meme where they're like, 1984 wasn't supposed to be an instruction manual. And they hold up signs saying it.
Starting point is 00:11:12 No, it wasn't. It was like tips and tricks, you know? So basically the authoritarians looked at it and they're like, oh, that's why these things don't work. We need to make them want to do that. Yes. That's how democracy dies, with thunderous applause yeah is that a line from star wars a year from now we find out coronavirus was not as bad as it we you know we think it is it's gonna be like no i know but then you know they they put it in these laws like in very fine print the very bottom that if this is just the way it
Starting point is 00:11:41 is now no dude we just can't go out you You're not going to find out. It's going to be, you know, 20 years and then there's going to be some dude who like finds an old file and like blows it off and he like opens it up and then it's like the conspiracy and he's going to go, my God. And then there's going to be someone you couldn't leave well
Starting point is 00:11:59 enough alone. Could you Pritzker? And inject him with the needle of a coronavirus? No. Yeah. The governor of Illinois, Pritzker. Oh, with the needle of a coronavirus no yeah the governor of uh illinois pritzker oh is that no i was oh really i was just trying to come up with a random name for like the journalist from earlier today oh you know what it is it's actually because i'm looking at it right now that's that's probably what it was i didn't even realize i'm looking at the article sam smith thing there you go yeah or it could be that governor pritzker uncovers the the coronavirus conspiracy in 20 years.
Starting point is 00:12:26 That's why the state's on lockdown. He's an old man, and he's like, I can't believe it. It was a trick. They're like, you couldn't leave well enough alone, could you, Pritzker? Pritzker. Yeah, I was reading it, and I just picked up the name. But let's do this first. So Illinois is under lockdown, obviously. And New York is in a shelter in place.
Starting point is 00:12:44 It's funny, i've i was talking to a friend up in new york and they were like i'm gonna leave i don't want to be stuck in the city and i was like leave now a week ago leave now and he's like i mean what's the worst gonna happen i'm like they're gonna make you stay in your house and he's like they won't be able to enforce it i'm like dude watch yeah watch oh there you go buddy there you go buddy enjoy being in new york enjoy being in well he's got till sunday right right right he should he needs to leave now or tomorrow uh you know what not touch anyone right stay well i mean he was over here like a couple weeks ago so bumping feet with us yeah he was like uh you can touch my elbow well new york is the epicenter
Starting point is 00:13:21 now word yeah right it was what what what yeah yeah yeah not seattle that's crazy not new york is the epicenter now word yeah right it was what what yeah yeah yeah not was teattle that's crazy not new york which i that's what i i said it i knew it was gonna happen as soon as it hit new york i was gonna be like boom and sure enough dude new york's so dense yeah it's crazy there's so many people there and have you gone to their like like fish markets no i never like when you go to chinatown i never liked fish i was never big it's just like open trays of fish over ice it's like oh yeah yeah dude i would skate past it sometimes you know manhattan has a certain aroma that i would say is akin to sour milk it depends on the season actually yes yes yes in midsummer it is sour milk. The city smells so bad. It really does.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Dude. But if you're skating fast enough, you skate past the smells. You know what's really crazy to me is that I went to – I've been to a bunch of different countries. One of the craziest things I've ever experienced was I was in Morocco. Okay. And I was transferring. I landed in Casablanca and I was transferring now uh then to marrakesh and so i'm in the casablanca airport and i'm following the signs to find my connecting flight when all of a
Starting point is 00:14:31 sudden the lights as i'm walking down the hall slowly stop working flickering and then off and there's a sign pointing and i turn and it's just dark like no lights at all and there's like holes in the wall and i'm like clearly i must have taken a wrong turn yeah and i am no longer in the functioning part of the airport when i'll send a guy in a suit like normal looking like american kind of guy yeah he just like walks past me wheeling his suitcase and i'm like i'll follow this guy yeah and then as we made our way through it really did look like i was in an abandoned building and then eventually we made it to an open area where the lights started turning back on and there were some shops
Starting point is 00:15:08 and this was like normal looking and clean. And I was like, that was crazy. So anyway, I bring that up because it's a funny story, but I've been to a bunch of these countries and I always kind of look around at the ground and stuff. And I find it interesting, like in Egypt, driving along the highway, you can see a bunch of buildings that are falling apart
Starting point is 00:15:23 or like never finished being built. And I was like, wow. And then I came back to the U.S. and I was like, I'm glad to be back in America where everything's like, you know, built and put together. And then I was in I was in Brooklyn and I was like, no. Well, then. Wait a minute. Like, seriously, there are parts of Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I know that are busy areas. We're all rows of buildings that are just boarded up and empty. And I'm like, yeah, I have to wonder, is this a simulation? And are those the ones they never bothered to design the inside of? That's why you can't go in them. Well, there's been an uptake of,
Starting point is 00:15:52 of like rent control being running out. Yeah. So people no longer can afford the landlords suddenly go from, you know, getting 500 bucks a month to demanding three grand, five grand a month. CBGBs was like 1200 bucks a month to demanding $3,000, $5,000 a month. CBGB's was like $1,200 a month for a while, and then the landlord was like, all right, $10,000 now.
Starting point is 00:16:12 And CBGB's was like, okay, we're closed. Right into somebody else. Sorry. Yeah, but basically Manhattan. What's happening all over the place. Yeah. But even in Manhattan, take a look at the ground, man. Yeah, there's trash everywhere.
Starting point is 00:16:24 It's trash. It's trash. It's cracked. It's brittle and broken. The buildings look awful. That's one of the biggest things I couldn't stand about New York. I actually watched my neighbor walk out to her car and open the door and clean her car out by just throwing trash on the ground. Just like not a little bit of trash. All of the trash.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Oh, dude. I was flabbergasted. I didn't know what to do. I have seen people driving in Manhattan, open their doors, and just kick out trash. Yeah. Just like all over the street. I can't stand it. And that's why it's like, I kid you not, skating in Manhattan gives you a certain perspective.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Yeah. Most people don't realize because you have to dodge the sour milk. You got to dodge a lot. You got to dodge people, tourists, because you have to dodge the sour milk in the gutters. You gotta dodge a lot. You gotta dodge people, tourists, cars, cabs, buses. Well, that's normal. That's everywhere.
Starting point is 00:17:10 That's Chicago. That's LA. Yeah. But in New York. No, it's... LA is not like New York. Oh, right, right. Chicago isn't either.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Well, downtown Chicago. No, Chicago is spread out. Chicago's like a pushed out, spread apart... Downtown Chicago. Yeah. We're dodging people. I've skated around downtown Chicago.
Starting point is 00:17:24 But Manhattan is like... New York City is like five downtown Chicago yeah I've skated around downtown Chicago but Manhattan is like New York City is like five downtown Chicago's all jammed into one yeah pushed together yeah but you know I frequently dodge
Starting point is 00:17:33 there'd be like there's like the water has like a hint of milk in it in New York everywhere like all the time and you can smell it
Starting point is 00:17:41 and Chicago dyes the the water green yeah and it just stays green remember when Dave Matthews banned they don't even need to dye it anymore And Chicago dyes the water green. And it just stays green. Remember when Dave Matthews banned? They don't even need to dye it anymore. It's already green. We're good.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Remember when Dave Matthews banned bus drove over the bridge and the guy pulled the sewage line and dumped it all over the people on that boat? No. You didn't know that? Are you serious? So get this. This happened. I'm pretty sure it was Dave Matthews banned. I don't want to get sued.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Were they like, well, it's Dave Matthews' poop, so. No, the band didn't know. Oh, the band didn't know. So there was a riverboat with people having a wedding or something. They're all like fancy suits and sipping their wine. And they went under the bridge right as the bus went over it. And the bus driver was like, I don't want to deal with going to the RV camp to drain the toilet. So he just pulled it and it sprayed everything.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Dude, people don't understand. Oh, I laugh, but that is so gross. I feel so bad for those people. I don't know if you've ever actually dealt with draining an RV. I have. I've lived in an RV for a while. The black water? Travel around Europe.
Starting point is 00:18:38 It's black slime. Yeah, it melts everything away. Well, it's actually, it's not that bad, actually, when you have a good, like, there's these canister things that you go outside and you pull it out. No, no, no. I'm not talking about draining it. I'm talking about what it is and spraying all over a bunch of people who are on a boat. Yes, I know what it is, and that's why I feel really bad for the people. I would jump in the river.
Starting point is 00:19:00 I'd be like, ah! I'd just jump over it. Like, everything else would be damned. Yeah, how else can you get rid of it like get it off you quickly i'm i'm really appreciating how we we totally deviated off of like the world who cares it was a great story worth it i'm skeeved out but it was worth it i can't believe you missed that one that was huge yeah that was the dave matthews band well i've been out i've been i left chicago when i was 19. So that was like, I don't know, 16 years ago or something.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Wow. 17 years ago. Yeah. You left before it happened. Yeah, but it was still big news. Yeah, but I don't really pay attention to much outside of my world. You know, I'm pretty much doing my thing. You know, I think where we can tie this all in is I've spent all of my life in big cities.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Except for like the brief stint. We had a year in miami we were in the we were in the like the redlands boonies we were in the boonies man yeah but relative to like some rural areas i've spent time in not so much like yes not big city we are 40 miles outside of miami but it was still like relatively i wouldn't call it a suburb i mean yeah i guess technically it is it was it's crazy i didn't think't call it a suburb. I mean, yeah. I guess technically it is. It was – It's crazy. I didn't think of it as a suburb, no. Do you know that – what was that city that was just – was it hometown or something? Home something?
Starting point is 00:20:13 Redlands? No, no, no. Just south of us. I don't even remember. I know. I don't remember the name of it. But that's where one of the detention facilities was where, like, the kids in cages were supposed to be held. Like, literally, like, a few miles away from where we lived.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Wow, right there. Yep. What was that place called? I don't know don't know i'm sure i'm sure people will know but uh here's the thing man i i've i've actually now gone to much many more rural places like when i was driving i drove all the way in the country several times and i decided on one of my trips to actually just get off the interstate and take like u.s roads and like county roads very different it's so different yeah it didn't smell like sour milk you know it's surprising when you get out there and and the cities in this country are filthy yes they are yeah man and the people that live there are filthy they are they're very filthy but it's pretty much america though i mean i've i've well i can't say for the rest of the world but but I've traveled around Europe a lot when I was living in the RV.
Starting point is 00:21:07 And people throw away their trash. There's no trash on the grounds. I mean, I saw it. It was there. But not very often. I mean, I looked for it. I started, it was like, man, there's really nothing. And then I started looking for it.
Starting point is 00:21:19 And then I'd be like, whoa, there's a piece of trash. Oh, no. That's not trash. That was something else. Want to hear a funny Chicago story? Of course. I was downtown, and they had this big bin. It was like a rectangular-shaped garbage thing.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Okay. And on one side, it said it was like recycling, and the other side was garbage. And then I looked in, and guess what it was? What? It was a chute going into one garbage can. I'm like, there you go. It was just like, no matter what you put in, it was like into the trash one garbage can like there you go it was just it's like no matter what you put in it was like into the trash but it makes you feel better right sure so yeah illinois
Starting point is 00:21:51 is being locked down now uh i don't know what what's what they expect to happen but check this out let me let me let's let's let's jump back into it could trump declare national coronavirus shutdown momentum is rising and might i add it's also i mean Momentum is rising. And might I add, it's also, I mean, yeah, momentum is rising. You're the ones who published this. Shut us down already, Mr. President. This is a scary article, dude. Yeah. The dude basically says, bring in the bring in the martial law. Here it is. Look at I'm talking martial law. Do it. You said you're now a wartime president. So act like one.
Starting point is 00:22:22 All businesses should be closed, except the essential ones. And that list should be carefully constructed. No travel, no planes, no cars, no movement. We stay in our homes and leave only to get food, go to the doctor, or walk our dogs. Or walk our dogs. I love the dog walking part. It's like, the world is ending. Bring on martial law. But we
Starting point is 00:22:39 have to walk our dogs. He clearly has a dog. He clearly has a dog. He clearly has a dog. Well, I mean, dude, going back to the cities... I mean, non-essential businesses should be closed down. Do you hear about
Starting point is 00:22:51 GameStop is claiming they're essential? Dude, they don't even sell games anymore like they do, but they're trying to become a knick-knack store. Yeah, they're the
Starting point is 00:23:00 blockbuster of gaming. I tweeted this last night. They are. And it's like, yeah, I don't go buy games anywhere. I download my games. We go to the mall. Yeah, I was playing.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Yeah, I downloaded Doom, and it's been great. We go to the mall. No discs. We go to the mall. We walk into GameStop, look at the games that are listed, and go, ooh, I'm going to go download that when I get home. No, I don't do that. But that's what they're trying to do now is they're trying to sell knickknacks.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Like if you want to get your little Link and Zelda dolls, you've got to go to GameStop. Yeah, so they're Blockbuster meets Hot Topic. Mm-hmm. They're trying, so they bought. I think they made. No one buys that stuff. Who buys those pop things anyway? The little pop boxes.
Starting point is 00:23:37 They were doing really bad. I don't know. For a while. Do you know what? But are they still, I mean. Do you know ThinkGeek? Like, didn't, isn't there a? What is that? It sounds familiar. It's like a geek shop on the internet.
Starting point is 00:23:47 It's a store? Oh, it's an internet shopping site. Isn't there a GameStop ThinkGeek store in Manhattan? It's like on 6th Avenue or something. I don't know. Never went to it. So that's what they were trying to do. They were trying to be a place where you can go for your silly nerd stuff, like your t-shirt that says, you know, it's got the green mushroom
Starting point is 00:24:04 from Mario on it or something. Every single console that has come out, you can download. They have the store. You can get any game. Right. I don't understand why we still make these plastic pieces or the discs that will just – No, no, no. No one needs.
Starting point is 00:24:21 The PlayStation spits it out all the time. Yeah. Well, there was actually a reason for that what was that the destiny playstation that i had had a malfunctioning button no you're right they all did that did that they had this thing where like there was pressure on the bottom where the button was that would force it open it happened to me all the time yeah playing like horizon zero dawn i actually opened that playstation up and disabled that the button yeah so you can't hit it but it fixed it i was just like i'm just gonna download it from now on games well so anyway the dude in this
Starting point is 00:24:51 article basically says scientists have determined with confidence from the hundreds of thousands of cases reported so far the recommended period for self-isolation should be 14 days and then he says because we we're americans we do more make it. I kind of feel like this guy's joking. Are you serious? It's bad enough. Yeah. Right, exactly. But I'll tell you what, man.
Starting point is 00:25:11 What if we're always one step behind this thing? And so instead of making it better, we actively are making it worse while the virus still just smashes its way through our society, through our country. Natural selection. Like the insensitive people are out there calling it dude let it run its course let it kill people let it blah blah blah blah and it's like like these i saw a viral video of a bunch of like young people on the beach yeah doing shots off each other and stuff yeah and i'm like well and that's and and people are wondering why the american numbers are spiking more than the Italy numbers.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Well, do you know that the Spanish flu predominantly hit young people? Really? Young people. But it could be because there was a lot of young people in war in close quarters. But what I was reading from Stanford was that there was a previous flu in the late 1800s, so the older crowd had already some flu immunity. The younger kids didn't have it. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:26:09 And so when the new virus hit, it was much, much harder. And some older people had partial immunity based on, like, strains. So young people got hit really hard. But here's the crazy thing. The first wave in the beginning of the year hit the elderly and young people were mostly okay. The second wave in August hit the young people and was devastating. So they're predicting multiple waves on this one. I'm willing to bet we're going to see a bunch of young people in the hospital because these kids are as dumb as a box of rocks.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Yeah, they really are. And it's not all young people. It's just the young people that are dumb are going out and partying. We'll call them the skull crackers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the skull breaker challenge. The skull breakers. There's data released by basically every news outlet and basically every organization tracking this shows
Starting point is 00:27:02 the largest bracket of hospitalizations is 20 to 54 and that's wide you know and it could still be mostly 40 to 54 but they separated it that way and it's basically 29 of all hospitalizations and then uh 55 and above comes up to like a smaller number maybe i'm getting wrong i think it's 20 to 44 i'll probably get the numbers wrong i don't have the article pulled up so sue me yeah but uh that's there they broke it up into several different brackets and i think i mentioned this the other day what they're saying is young people are actually really likely to be hospitalized but respond really well to ventilation okay older people don't so so what does that mean yeah so the old people aren't aren't going
Starting point is 00:27:43 and that means the old getting the respirators or whatever? They do. And then so here's what I think would make sense in that regard is ventilation is going to save your life if you can't breathe. Young people have strong bodies. And so when their lungs fill up with fluid, the ventilation works. Their bodies heal and takes in the oxygen. Older people struggle to heal, have weaker immune systems. Their lungs fill up with water or fluid.
Starting point is 00:28:04 They can't breathe. And the ventilation doesn't do enough to actually save them. So you'll see more – apparently that's what they're saying, more young people in the hospital, but they respond really, really well to the treatments. Older people die. So then this is mind-numbing to me is that – actually, let me tell you a story, man. Did you know that lethal crime is way, way down around the world? No, I didn't know that. Yeah, so crimes that result in death have dropped dramatically. Since when?
Starting point is 00:28:31 In the past, I think, like 12 or 13 years. They've been on the decline. Cool. And do you know why? That's great news. What would you think the reason is why that would be? I would like to, I mean, I guess it was just because I want to say times are good and like people are prospering
Starting point is 00:28:48 that's what you'd think when you see the data where it's like the homicide rate is going down the reality is it's the invention of cell phones the same crimes are being committed but now when someone gets stabbed someone calls 911 right away and treatment arrives within minutes whereas before
Starting point is 00:29:04 cell phones they'd run to find a phone and the person would bleed out on the sidewalk. So the people are getting charged with attempted murder or aggravated assault or assault with a deadly weapon, not murder. I see. So now the rates for murder is going way down. That makes sense. Not that humans are committing less crimes. It's that our technology improves. So it's still there.
Starting point is 00:29:21 We're just still there. Being able to save people. But crime is going down typically, too. So I bring that up because everyone's going right now like young people aren't even dying like what do i care then these kids go out and start doing shots of each other's butts like that's what literally the video is i'm not kidding it's like or licking they're doing a human the toilet seat on an airplane like what corona virus challenge there's like a human why why are Why are you doing this? Why?
Starting point is 00:29:45 Why? Please continue. For internet points. No, it's like a video. They're doing like a human centipede beer pour where they all like put their heads under each other's butts and pour beer and drink it. Oh my gosh. Oh, that's.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Hey man, you got to party hard, right? That is bad. That is bad. So here's the thing though. Oh my God. Because young people are responding well to the technology, the mortality rate for young people is low. And they're like, so it's not even killing young people. It's like, dude, do you want to end up in the hospital with a ventilator shoved down your throat to pump oxygen in your lungs because they're failing?
Starting point is 00:30:14 Whatever, man. Reminds me of that kid with the Tide Pod in his mouth. Yeah. Because they weren't really eating them. Yeah. But then his saliva broke it. And then as soon as it broke, it burned him and he aspirated. And then it went in his lungs and they
Starting point is 00:30:28 started coughing and gagging and it was, dude, that must have been brutal. Scar tissue all throughout his lungs. That dude's going to be in an oxygen tank for the rest of his life. Kids are dumb, dude. I feel bad because they're just ignorant and arrogant. And want attention. Yeah. Everybody wants attention.
Starting point is 00:30:44 That's all it is, man. Mm-hmm. So basically now we're looking at national lockdown, I guess. I don't know what's going to happen. Yeah. We actually have another story I want to pull up on these kids doing all this stuff. But I don't know, man. There was that viral text message. Did you get one of those?
Starting point is 00:31:01 I don't think so. Where they were like, I heard this from my brothers, uncles, aunts, cousins, wife, nephew, that Trump is going to invoke the Stafford Act. Okay, I'm really exaggerating. But basically, all of these tweets, all of these text messages, like chain messages,
Starting point is 00:31:18 had a similar thing. My uncle works for the government, and he said, just now leaving a meeting with the cdc trump is prepared to invoke the stafford act which means that he's going to lock down everyone get your supplies now run and these texts went viral like crazy okay and they were always somehow different like someone sent out 10 of them at once slightly different okay i wonder why like maybe see which one would make it further there was one where i was like my
Starting point is 00:31:43 girlfriend sent me this. I have a source working in the news who said this. And it's all fake. Which one worked the best to get in people's heads basically. And everyone believed it. And it's funny because I did like a debunking of it. Now we're actually talking about it. When was this?
Starting point is 00:32:00 Like in the past week. Oh, okay. I woke up in the morning. I had a text message from a journalist saying like keep this on the dl and it was like a screen grab of a text saying you know that was just a couple days ago was it yeah yeah this week has felt interminable right yeah that was only a couple days ago yeah dude it's almost over so uh well uh the coronavirus cases are going to explode warns obama's ebola czar as figures show the virus is already spreading faster faster in America than it ever did in China, and the U.S. has the second most new cases per day in the world.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Yay. Bravo. We do everything a little bit better than everyone else. That includes getting infected with a novel coronavirus. Yeah. It's funny, man, because I hear so many people saying the same lines like the flu is worse i was on the phone with with somebody uh talking about you know hey you think it's gonna get bad we're i was basically talking to people about industry stuff we ad rates are
Starting point is 00:32:55 down ad buys are down and to make matters worse it's it's really funny when people are like tim's trying to sensationalize to make money it's like, do you realize when I talk about this, I get nothing? Yeah. I could make a video right now where I talk about, I don't know, the new Pokemon game, you know, Pokemon Go. I could literally film myself walking around in Pokemon Go, get like a thousand views and make more money than if I talk about the coronavirus. Anyway, I digress. But tons of people have fragmented information. And so they don't realize what's going on they're like i don't know man like i heard that you know this that and this the flu is worse yeah we already got like 40 000 dead from the flu and i was like since when what do
Starting point is 00:33:35 you what do you mean like since when oh i don't know you mean since october and this i don't know all the details and we and we started seeing the uncontrollable growth around the end of February. We had the first case in January, and then we didn't actually start seeing the community spread for another full month and a half or something. Right, yeah, March 3rd or something. Yeah. So I don't know who Ron Klain is, but apparently he's saying, and this is actually wrong. So this is the relevant data that I wanted to show. This chart right here shows the peak of China's coronavirus outbreak.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Assuming they're telling the truth, which I would never do. You would never tell the truth? No. I was thinking it too. Assuming China was telling the truth? Okay. You would never assume they were telling the truth. I would never assume that.
Starting point is 00:34:19 It just sounded like you were like, well, I don't tell the truth. I would never tell the truth. No, I wouldn't assume China's telling the truth. Freudian slip. Our sarcasm minds were like, well, I don't tell the truth. I would never tell the truth. No, I wouldn't assume China's telling the truth. Freudian slip. Our sarcasm minds were like, I must respond. That's right. So now we've seen cases skyrocket. Now here's the
Starting point is 00:34:33 important factor, though. We haven't been doing testing. So it's possible we're below China because they're basically doing the same thing between us and Italy. And this number here of new U.S. cases could be the result of the fact that we haven't been testing all that well. Right. Or it could be the data on its face is true
Starting point is 00:34:50 and the U.S. is out of control. And I think that's actually a fair assessment. You know why? Because they're shutting everything down. In China, they'll club you over the head and drag you out of your house while you kick and scream. In the U.S., they'll be like,
Starting point is 00:35:02 please don't go outside. Which is what they're doing right now. And then a bunch of these kids go outside and start laughing and doing shots off each other's butts. Like, for real. It's in Miami. They're doing it. Well, they're not going to be laughing in three weeks when they catch it.
Starting point is 00:35:16 No, a bunch of them are going to be fine. Yeah, I'm sure. And they're going to be like, doesn't even happen. I got the sniffles. Not even that. And my grandma died. I don't know. It's so weird. Right. Yeah. And my grandma died.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Or that number that it's affecting men twice as much. Yeah. I read that this morning. Twice as deadly to guys than it is to girls. Yep. Like, wow. And we just had that feminist rant the other day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:40 About how they say that coronavirus is ruining feminists. Yep. Feminism. And she's like, no, I know that the reports say that coronavirus is ruining feminists. Yeah. Feminism. And she's like, now I know that the reports say that it's worse for men. But we're talking about an economic problem. It's like, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Kick rocks. If I die, or I'm in the hospital in a ventilator, like you're not a victim, dude. Yeah. Get off your high horse. Check this out though. LA County gives up on containing coronavirus.
Starting point is 00:36:04 This is from the LA.A. Times. Tells doctors to skip testing of some patients. Well, it was a good run. They give up. I hope you guys enjoyed it. It's been a slice. It's been a slice. A little slice of heaven.
Starting point is 00:36:18 We're going to lock the doors, and we're going to go full Mad Max. We're going to take the van. I ordered a cow catcher, I think it's called. A cow catcher? Is that what it's called? For the front? For the front of the van. That's what came in the mail.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Perfect. Yes. I think that is what it's called. Gigantic wrought iron. It weighs like 800 pounds? Yes. That'll be good. And it drags on the ground, sparks flying out.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Yes. We have to put the armor panels on tomorrow. Oh, those have to go back on? Oh my gosh. Yeah, they have to go back on. All right. It's worth it. I don't think it's really that bad.
Starting point is 00:36:44 But I think... i'll be skating the ramp out back well so we're lucky we're lucky man we're lucky yeah even if all we had was a backyard for that ramp dude i love that thing i've seen some videos from people in like new york man those tiny apartments yo man i can't believe i could not imagine being stuck in new york yeah i couldn't do it it'd be worse than prison because like if you if i'd be playing video games you can oh yeah but but but i'd run out of food probably yeah that's no bueno and now they're like don't go outside unless you need food yeah but i guess here's the thing right if you go outside what's a cop gonna do like where are
Starting point is 00:37:19 you going i'm getting food okay all right later buddy yeah Later, buddy. I have no food. Okay. I'm going to eat. Well, wash your hands. I'm walking the dog. Sonny boy. Sonny boy. I mean, honestly, I think you brought this up. Like, if you went out and a cop was like, what are you doing? And you were like, nothing. Here, officer. Like, shake my hand.
Starting point is 00:37:39 Shake my hand. Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no. Whoa, you're good. You're good. Move along, sir. Reminds me of, remember, what is it, Tommy Boy? Where they're driving and they're drunk and then the cops try to pull them over? Oh, yeah, and they're like, all right, I got this. Yeah, he's like swerving.
Starting point is 00:37:55 And then he gets out. Bees! Bees! And the cop's like, I'm allergic to bees. I'm really allergic to bees. Me too. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:38:02 And they just drive off. Well, anyway... That was funny. So I was talking to my buddy and he told me that he's not concerned because the police won't go near anybody. They're scared to get sick. They don't have masks and have gloves. Something like 35 cops in New York City got it right.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. And so he's like, you think a cop's gonna want to come up to you? No. And be like, come here, buddy. We're taking you in. He's gonna be like, he's gonna crack the window a little bit and go, go home. You're going to be like, what?
Starting point is 00:38:29 No, he's not going to crack the window. He's going to get on the PA system. What are you doing out there? Go home. Or he's going to tap on the glass and hold a piece of paper that says, go home. And then you're going to sign language him, I'm hungry. I'm sorry, man. I need food. I don't know sign language, but
Starting point is 00:38:47 I have a phone that I can just be like, I'm hungry. I'd probably do that. Now's the time to get a dog because it's like a hall pass. I'm walking my dog, sir. Sir, I am walking my dog. Sir, I'm walking my dog to get some food.
Starting point is 00:39:03 You know what's really funny? Bill de Blasio said, so he's the mayor my dog. Sir, I'm walking my dog to get some food. You know what's really funny? Double whammy. You know what's really funny? Bill de Blasio said, so he's the mayor of New York City, he said they're contemplating a full shutdown order. And Andrew Cuomo was like, get real, Bill, in like a quote. You were like, arguing. And saying, we're not going to do that.
Starting point is 00:39:19 That's not happening. We're not locking down. And the day later he was like, we're locking down. It's my decision. Put the blame on me. That was actually shocking to hear him say that. Well, he had to, man. He just said the other day like it wasn't going to happen.
Starting point is 00:39:32 And then someone gave him a dose of reality like time to shut the doors. Now, I'll tell you this. We got a bunch of other silly stories. But I want to mention, man, you know what scares me? That it was what we were mentioning a little earlier. People are begging for the authoritarianism. Yeah. And what happens when this is all over but people now live a life where they're under hard lockdown and are okay with it yeah well i don't know if they're okay with it i think it's more the fear
Starting point is 00:39:51 of this virus and if the fear remains because how are they going to keep the fear around they already they already told us it could last two years they're saying mit put out a story saying it's going to be waves of sickness. But doesn't the sickness, doesn't the virus die in the open air when it's too hot? When it's 80, 90 degrees? You don't know yet? I thought they were saying that. And what happens when people start becoming like hypochondriacs, scared of the virus and start, you know, I'm sure tons of people are doing it right now.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Rushing to the hospital saying, oh, I'm sick. And then spreading more fear, like panicking that they're sick. There's the conspiracy theory that I don't necessarily – I don't subscribe to at all, I would say. But there are people who are saying that it's all overblown. It's all hype. Yeah. The reason we're seeing all the hospitalizations is because people are panicking. I keep saying that.
Starting point is 00:40:41 It's still going on. That it's just people now saying, like, I think I'm man i'm sick oh i better call the hospital and the hospital says we've got somebody who we think has it and then they report it in the news and it perpetuates this you know fear cycle i don't the reason the reason i don't buy into that is because you'd have to have all of the other countries on the planet you know like there's there's not one agency in control of anything like people are testing for this they're finding it right remember this is popping up at nursing homes. And people in nursing homes literally cannot run to the hospital.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Yeah. They just have to wait. The reason I bring this up is that there is a – one of the fears that I have would be politicians, six months goes by, and they're looking over their reports and they're like, sir, no new cases. We believe it's gone. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Hold on. We shouldn't say that, right? Yeah. remember that orville episode we were just watching which one the one where kelly's
Starting point is 00:41:31 the the like jesus oh yeah so there's there's in the show the orville there's they go to this planet that phases out of existence when it comes back at 700 years in the future for that planet right and so kelly the woman is seen and then and then when the planet phases back they're worshiping well she heals some girl like falls and hits her head and she uses like the the laser thing to fix this child's head and so it's like star trek for those who don't know and then uh yeah 700 years go by and then they go back in and it's like they are worshipping her she's like the god yeah and so what happens is they go and meet the pope
Starting point is 00:42:10 basically in this medieval world and she explains that it's simply a tool shows them how to use it and he's like wow we believed everything's so wrong and then when they leave he walks up to like the bible and he's like the people must be told the truth but then this cardinal guy is like are you sure he's like the people must be told the truth but then this
Starting point is 00:42:25 cardinal guy is like are you sure that's wise we'll lose our power they fear us yeah as long as they fear kelly and he goes i guess we'll see so the guy goes okay and he pulls out a knife and stabs in the back yeah that's what that was a good episode it was but i'm worried you're gonna you're gonna have people who are gonna be like there's gonna be one dude i'm not saying there will be but i wouldn't be surprised and this is when i'm scared there could be one guy who's sitting there thinking, like, we're getting all the funding we want. We're getting to implement whatever policies we want. No one is standing in our way. And he looks at that report where it says, like, we've done it.
Starting point is 00:42:53 We've beat the virus. And then he crumples it up. Crumples it up. Throws it in the trash and says, what's the next plan to fight the virus? We need to enact these policies. Yeah. That's what's worrying. Yeah, that is a frightening thought.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Well, here's what we should do. We should rag on kids again. It's always fun to rag on those young kids! But before we do, we should jump over to the Super Chats. Super Chats. What up, Super Chats? Hello, Super Chats. Dark Truth says, so do you think we'll be back to a degree of normalcy by January?
Starting point is 00:43:21 Will schools still be out by then? Well, they're saying the school year right now. They're saying, right, they're shutting down the school, the schools for the school year. So does that does that mean until August or does that mean until December? That means till August. That's what I figured so far. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:35 Salem Blue says World Health Organization, global pandemic, feminists, but abortions search for articles using coronavirus and abortion, especially the one that starts with feminist demand FDA. Tweet from doctor promoting self-managed abortion. Yikes, man. Kyle Buchanan says, hey, Tim, Verdict with Ted Cruz episode 18 just got taken down by Google while I was watching it. Whoa. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:43:57 That was a really popular podcast. What was it about? They just brought Michael Knowles went on and talked to Ted Cruz, and they just talked about current events, kind of like we do, a little more official. Yeah. Yeah, I never got a chance to see it, but hopefully they bring it back. All right. So we've got a ton of super chats here. Grace Fang says, Italy's death toll surpassed China's public fake numbers, CNBC.
Starting point is 00:44:20 I love that editorialization, and I completely agree with it. If you believe China, man, I've got a bridge to sell you. Right. It is the Brooklyn Bridge, and I completely agree with it. If you believe China, man, I got a bridge to sell you. It is the Brooklyn Bridge, and I have the deed in my office. I think that's actually where that came from. It was a guy who was going around selling the Brooklyn Bridge. Really? Yeah, I think that was it. Oceanfront property in Arizona?
Starting point is 00:44:37 That one? Yeah. Ward says, good evening. Hope you're well. Appreciate it. Freedom says, my phone has been hacked. I'm sorry to hear it. Ethan Johansson says, FYI, happy cows make the most money.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Don't listen to P2BS. I mean, how could we beat up calves? They're too cute. I heard it's true that actually happy cows, like cows that are literally happy, do better, like produce better. They do. Did I talk about the story about when I went to the farm
Starting point is 00:45:03 in California? You told me about it. I don't know if you told Adam about it. So when I went, I was about the story about when I went to the farm in California? You told me about it. I don't know if you told Adam about it. Yeah, I don't know. So when I went, I was doing this story on the drought in California, and I went to a bunch of different farms, a bunch of dairy farms. Okay. And I'd heard all these stories about how it was, like, torturous. No, not these ones, man.
Starting point is 00:45:18 So we go to interview this guy. Was it a smaller farm or what? I guess the farm's smaller. How many cows were there? Several hundred. Over 100? Oh, totally over 100. Yeah, maybe like 400 or 500.
Starting point is 00:45:30 Okay. That's pretty big. There were like fences, and there was no gate to the fence. It was open. And there were like cows across the street wandering around. Okay. And so I was talking to one of the farmers, and I was like, we were doing an interview. Like, how has the drought affected you?
Starting point is 00:45:44 Is it worrying, and what's your thought on the policy? And then afterwards, I was like, hey were doing an interview. Like, how has the drought affected you? Do you know, is it worrying? And what's your thought on the policy? And then afterwards, I was like, hey, I got a question. It's like irrelevant, but I'm just curious because like, are those your cows? He's like, yeah. And I was like, they're just like leaving. And he's like, no, come back. And I was like, there's no, there's no gate.
Starting point is 00:45:59 And he's like, you forgot the gate. I was like, aren't you, aren't you worried that they leave? He's like, where would they go? And I was like, oh, well, I don't know. I was like, I'm just used to like animals leaving. And he was like, no't you worried that they leave? He's like, where would they go? I was like, I don't know. I was like, I'm just used to animals leaving. He was like, no, they come back. I was like, really? They don't want to leave?
Starting point is 00:46:12 He's like, why would they want to leave? We got food. I was like, that's the one way I've seen. I never thought about it. Yeah, when I was driving back here, I passed a few farms that were hundreds of thousands of cows. Was that Texas? It was in New Mexico and Texas. There's some gross ones down there.
Starting point is 00:46:28 When you're on like, is it 88, I think? I think it was 40 or 30 or 10. I don't exactly remember where it was. Langing mud? Yeah. Yeah, dude, it's gross. Man, it was nasty. So here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:46:41 These farms in California, the cows would go into a machine when they wanted to be milked. And the machine would milk them and they would come back out and go and romp around and stuff. They get really uncomfortable if they can't get milked. But it was crazy to me to see the cows just – the guy didn't care. He's like, meh. He's like, there's nothing to worry about. Oh, it was a side story? Totally irrelevant?
Starting point is 00:46:57 Yeah. It was a major dust devil. It was so cool. Like, it was huge. I was like, whoa, no one cared. I have a lot of issues with all of this. And it's a long conversation I don't really want to have. Well, let's get back to the Super Chats. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Excellent plan. Happy cows. 11BravoNRD says, My army reserve unit just got put on standby for deployment to C-CONUS. Not a matter of if but when. Invisible lady.

Ed Crone says, Southside, born and raised, Tim. St. Rita alum. Where'd you go? I now live for these streams every day after work while I play GTA 5 in quarantine. We're reaping the benefit of
Starting point is 00:48:00 the quarantine market. I'm loving all these super bored people. Yeah, I was talking to some industry people and they were like, we're projecting your numbers will go up dramatically amidst the quarantine where people are bored and have nothing to do. I'm like, oh, okay. That sounds horrible, but, you know, whatever. So I grew up on the south side.
Starting point is 00:48:16 I went to... CONUS is the continental United States. Thank you, chat. I didn't go to high school. And I went to grade school at Our Lady of the Snows by Midway Airport and Mark Twain Elementary and then I spent like two months at Kennedy High School

Starting point is 00:49:38 raymond says i work at heb a texas-based grocery chain we're all working like crazy but the company raised the wage by $2 for every employee during the crisis. I hope other grocery store workers can get that, too. Wow, that's awesome. It's awesome for now. Until the trillion-plus dollars hits the economy and hyperinflation sets in. I shouldn't say
Starting point is 00:49:57 hyperinflation. It'll be inflation, for sure. But it will be. And then everyone's going to be like, my money doesn't go as far anymore. So we're borrowing from ourselves in the future. That's what it is. But you know what? And then everyone's going to be like, my money doesn't go as far anymore. So we're borrowing from ourselves in the future. That's what it is. But you know what? We got to do what we got to do. Just us. Thanks for the super chat.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Jay Mac, thanks for the big super chat. Says I cancel D&D sessions until things calm down. I've had a few friends saying that I'm being paranoid, but my daughter has RSV as an infant and my mother-in-law has respiratory issues, so I'm not taking chances. Don't be shamed to not taking care of yourself or your family. That's exactly right.
Starting point is 00:50:30 Truth. That's what I've been saying, man. Yep. Look, if there's somebody who's going to full-on prep and build a bunker and stock it up with 30 years of food or whatever they want to do, I wouldn't do that. But I'll tell you what, when that that meteor comes when the crisis happens they're going to be laughing yep and if nothing happens no one's gonna care yeah no one cares no one cares they might be like you built the bunker it's like it's really cool i play video games down there it's like my private little hangout oh dude i want to hang out like who wouldn't love to have
Starting point is 00:50:58 a man cave just build it underground true that that's why i think it's silly that people are laughing at like people who there's this really cool thing they do with cargo containers, and they'll bury them partially. Yeah, yeah. No, fully. Fully? Mm-hmm. Yeah, and then you can go into them. That sounds cool, man.
Starting point is 00:51:12 That sounds amazing. Dude, I'd love to have a little... We can't do that. You think I've been chopping wood back there? No, I've been digging a hole. Slowly but surely, I'm going to have a man cave. Under my garden. That'd be cool, man.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Under the skate ramp. That's right. And then you just stock up on some MREs. MREs don't'd be cool, man. Under the skate ramp. And then you just, you know, stock up on some MREs. MREs don't last long enough, though. I like them, though. They taste good in the short term. I never actually had one. You never had an MRE? It's cool. They have a packet
Starting point is 00:51:36 of iron. Okay. Really? Just straight iron? I'm pretty sure it's iron. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And when you pour water in it, it rapidly oxidizes and heats up. Oh, cool. And you put it in your food thing. That's how memories work. I didn't know.
Starting point is 00:51:49 We've got some here. They're upstairs. And then you pour water in it, and it smells. I think iron oxide comes out. It's a gas. Okay. But then it heats up rapidly, and it warms the food, and then you pull it out, throw it, and then you've got a pouch full of whatever.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Interesting. Beans and rice or something. Cool. Yeah, it's cool. Cool. Thanks for coming to a member, Focus Me whatever. Interesting. Beans and rice or something. Cool. Yeah, it's cool. Cool. Thanks for coming to a member, Focusmeister. All Metal Mike says, Thank you.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Thanks for teaching us about the term echo bubble. Prior to hearing it from you, I'd already begun seeking 360 degrees of info just to avoid such a phenomenon. Yes. Alex, thanks for coming to a member. Justin Schroeder says, Sent Adam a company for beanies on IG.
Starting point is 00:52:23 Oh, cool. US NOx emissions are down 50.7% as of three-fifths compared to 2016. And I don't have an inner monologue. I actually checked that site out. Thanks for sending that to me. But unfortunately, all of the beanies were acrylic. And they were not. We're looking for quality.
Starting point is 00:52:42 Yeah, not. I mean, it was just like a wholesale place. Some of them were cool, but it just wasn't what we're looking for. Yeah, but I do appreciate that. Thanks. I did check it out. Oh, hey, just us sent the poop emoji. Appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Oh, how nice. Sweet. That's cute. All right. We're starting to get slammed by super chats. I'm going to have to speed this up. We can go for a little bit longer. We're good.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Eric says, US COVID-19 growth curve recent spike due to running backlog of untested samples per CDC lady in White House presser two days ago. She said six days of tests in one day. So that makes sense. So we may actually be. We have good news, too. Apparently, Trump was right about chloroquine. Really? Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:23 But a bunch of other countries have been saying the same thing about chloroquine combinations Really? Well, yeah, but a bunch of other countries have been saying the same thing about chloroquine combinations with other drugs. Okay. So, you know, Trump came out and said it, and I think he said we were going to make it available, but it's not yet ready, so people criticize him. It's like, whatever, the media does this. But yeah, we actually have a story saying
Starting point is 00:53:36 that they've shown they've cut the amount of patients who had COVID, like, dramatically by giving them a combination of these drugs, these malaria drugs. Yeah. King Canuck says, I'm a bit late because i was finishing doom eternal adam you've got to finish it so you can geek about it yeah love you guys have a great stream appreciate it man it's really fun it's fast it's very fast and and vicious and it's it's it's tough it's it's pretty tough but i like games like
Starting point is 00:54:02 that that aren't easy to just plow through. Yeah. But it's good. I really, really am enjoying it. Yeah. Doom Eternal. Revius says, apparently Japan had its first case of reinfection reported. Didn't we see that before, though?
Starting point is 00:54:13 Yeah. Yeah, I thought they had at least one. Yeah. I don't know. That was the first place that we heard of it, didn't we? Just Us says, wanted vegan prepper food tips. The Great Dub Doob. Hey from Missouri.
Starting point is 00:54:23 I live near KC and we are about ready to start closing things down. Thanks for the heads up to prep. Plenty of games to play. About that vegan food prep. I was like, Adam's totally going to go back to that. I thought you would let me say something there. That site that you
Starting point is 00:54:40 were working with, what was that? My Patriot Supply. They actually have a lot of vegan options. Really? Yeah, when they got here, I was looking at it. I'm like, well, this is basically the meals. Half of them were vegan. Half of them weren't.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Oh, that's great. But they had oatmeal stuff. Yeah, there was a lot of just nice oatmeal. Yeah, vegetables, vegetable dishes that just didn't have any milk in it and that's actually the rarity but yeah they will last longer without milk in it anyway so there you go uh yeah so check that out check out that site very cool although there's a big wait now right yeah so it is out there though you can get them though this is not a promo for the company no
Starting point is 00:55:21 this is but you don't i don't have to say that because YouTube will, like, they'll give you all this kind of, you know, crap for this stuff. Yeah, yeah. But for reference, because people are curious, it's safeandreadymeals.com.
Starting point is 00:55:31 I was doing, I was doing a bunch of promos for them and now they've actually backlogged, like, to an absurd degree. So it's like a pre-order at this point
Starting point is 00:55:38 because they don't know when they're going to get back up to full production. Yeah, yeah. But they are still sending stuff out. But yeah, they have, like, I think it's
Starting point is 00:55:43 a cool company. They got a bunch of, it's cheap too. Nayslayer says, the lockdown came to New Orleans today. Basically, don't go out unless you need groceries, healthcare,
Starting point is 00:55:53 or work in an essential industry. Meanwhile, my local gov is saying, stay home if you feel sick. You should either way. Yep. I mean. Chisholm says, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.
Starting point is 00:56:03 Does Lydia now have to come on camera to intervene with the ghost? Tim just unleashed on the studio. How dare you, Timothy? You shouldn't have said that. Lydia. So look, Gre says Bill Maher should be happy now. Yeah. Only this is going to bolster Trump's chances.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Yeah, man. It was true. So you probably don't know Will, but you know Will Chamberlain. Some of the viewers might know him. He's a cool dude. He's a friend of mine. And he's like a big conservative personality. He runs human events.
Starting point is 00:56:31 And he had a really interesting tweet I saw. He said, remember that FDR won, you know, how many terms did he win? Four terms. And that was through the Great Depression. Yeah, that was when it was most chaotic. That's how he did it. And so the prediction is no one is going to want to risk a hard change right now. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:48 So, yeah, Bill – I don't know if you – you know Bill Maher called for a recession? Yeah. He was like, bring on the recession if it gets rid of Trump. And he got really – he got heavily criticized for it. Yeah. I think it was a really stupid thing to say. But, hey, man, he stood by it. And I respect that.
Starting point is 00:57:00 You got to be careful what you wish for. Look at the market. Yep. Yeah, man. So that's why he's saying he should be happy now. I know. But I will stop to say, make sure you join. If you want to support the show, click the Join button down below.

Starting point is 00:57:30 Chet Chisholm says, you guys should try the sweet potato al pastor tacos from the Thug Kitchen cookbook on your next taco night. That sounds awesome. I'm down. Sounds really good. We've been having chickpea tacos. Yeah, dude. Periodically. Really good. And stuffed peppers. Yeah. Amazing. With chow cheese. Yeah. So it's like chickpeas mashed. Yeah, dude. Yeah, periodically. Really good. And stuffed peppers. Yeah. Yeah, dude. Stuffed peppers.
Starting point is 00:57:45 With chow cheese. Yeah. So it's like chickpeas mashed. So good. Chow cheese inside a pepper, baked. And it's like you pick it up and just bite it. Oh, man. I love it.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Yeah, it's delicious. We've been, like, look, man. We're on quarantine lockdown. So we got all the time in the world to try crazy experimental food. Slow cooker and all. Slow cooker, yeah. Taking, like, the craziest thing we did what i saw so far was like full chicken breasts and then we put in like a sweet tangy asian sauce and then
Starting point is 00:58:11 like three hours later it was like pull it just liquefied the chicken melted it's so amazing i'm putting on tacos taco night tacos boris says there's a microbiology study that predicted covid in 07 interesting will Strong says, didn't they say that since we're now getting large scale labs involved in testing, we're going to see a big jump in cases until the backlog of test kits have lab results? Maybe I missed something. No, that's true. Now that we're doing a lot more testing, the numbers are going to start spiking. So what we're actually seeing is a better picture of how many people are actually infected. Right. So that's that's why we were saying, like, maybe we should have been a little bit more clear.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Why? That's why I was saying that we should clarify that we're looking at all these graphs, and there's a lot of context missing from the data about numbers, population, and stuff. So, the great Dub Dude, thanks for becoming a member. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Two Rivers says, one half, be careful reporting on the curve of infections. I work in a lab, and the three labs where we send COVID specimens have a 30K specimen backlog. Oh, man. Company-wide, we just started using the methodology PUSHED. 30K. PUSHED through the FDA by Trump last week. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:59:18 Yeah, I heard the problem isn't actually even just having the test. It's the chemicals that they use with the test to complete the test. Like once you get tested, whatever, they send it off to the lab, and that lab needs specific chemicals. That makes sense. And the entire world needs these chemicals right now. So the few places around the world that are making the chemicals are out of chemicals. So you're bullish on chemical company stocks.
Starting point is 00:59:43 Yes. I mean, yes. I guess. Yeah. That bullish on chemical company stocks. Yes. I mean, yes. I guess. Yeah. That's terrible, but yes. Rivers says, so we will see a huge spike as the five-day, five-plus-day backlog will be getting published in one or two days. Dr. Burke talked about this in one of the
Starting point is 00:59:57 conferences recently. Yes, she did. She was like, there's going to be a big spike. It's because we're testing more people. Do not panic. Yeah. So hopefully that's all that is. Or it's a government conspiracy and the world is ending. Probably that's it. And the aliens are coming and buy your gold. Can't wait for April.
Starting point is 01:00:13 I'm kidding. Someone's going to take that out of the contest. I saw a funny message today saying 2020 is canceled. We are just going to be going right to 2021 on Monday. Yep. That's a great plan. Go to sleep. It'll all be over. Sure.
Starting point is 01:00:26 Scott Lovenberg says, hey, Manhattan is immaculate compared to the center of city Philly. Have you ever gotten lost near the airport? It's like fracking Beirut. I don't actually go into Philly all that often. I mean, I've walked around in Philly a little
Starting point is 01:00:41 bit, and I've spent, I actually went to high school here, and so I lived here for, you in Philly a little bit, and I've spent – I actually went to high school here. And so I lived here for, you know, like four years before, and New York is still dirtier. Yeah, dude. It smells like milk. New York is dirty, yo. Interesting. Dude, you can smell that milk. Yeah, you can smell it, dude.
Starting point is 01:00:56 It smells like sour milk. I know. Teresa says – No. Teresa says, stay strong, America. If we all work together and listen to directions we can beat this so spring breakers go home Pensacola beaches are now closed and we are closed for business good go
Starting point is 01:01:10 home I'm gonna start speeding up now through the super chat so apologies to everybody I can't get everyone everyone in so I'm just gonna try and read as many as I can BV says I've been tracking the John Hopkins data and plotted a visualization of the daily number of new cases comparing a few countries and then BV links his Twitter which I can't say and plotted a visualization of the daily number of new cases comparing a few countries.
Starting point is 01:01:28 And then BV links his Twitter, which I can't say, but, you know, it's there. Super chat. Nanya Biz says, here's the decision being asked of society. Choose between your kids and your parents, and somehow we have chosen to stop everything and harm our children to protect our parents from the chance of a bad outcome. This is wrong. You know, I was thinking about that.
Starting point is 01:01:44 If it is all of the older generation that's really in in you know they're susceptible to this virus it would make sense that the government wants everything shut down because they are they're old people they're the old people and so it's all the old people going like stop close it down we need to close it down young people are out partying like they're calling it boomer remover yeah Yeah. I don't care. We talked about that. I don't even know what generation they're talking about, for Pete's sake. They're clueless.
Starting point is 01:02:09 And if that's where the world, like, whose hand the world gets left in. I'm very excited. It's like, oh, no. Oh, man. Nah, they're going to get hit in August. If that happens, though, would you then run for president? They don't have the common sense to vote for him, Adam. You know, the thing is, like, a real person could never win.
Starting point is 01:02:29 You know why? Because they would just say real things. Even Bernie Sanders lies. Oh, yeah. Even Bernie Sanders lies. Well, I'm saying that because people like Joe Rogan are like, this guy's been so consistent. And it's like, I hear you, Joe.
Starting point is 01:02:42 I used to feel the same way. And then as the years went on bernie started trying to figure out what's the what's the right way to win yeah so my favorite thing about bernie is that he no longer says the millionaires anymore he even removed it from like his website now it just says the billionaires and like it's like we're not gonna let the billionaires like there's what 600 people dude and not all of them are particularly active like or and or american no no there's like 600 Americans. Oh, it's all Americans. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:03:06 I only know one consistent politician, and he did not have the charisma to get the nomination. Rand Paul. Yep. He's the child of Dr. No. 100% consistent. I like Rand Paul. I think he's a really good dude. He's consistent.
Starting point is 01:03:20 Yeah. Straight up. I used to really like Bernie, but yeah, he started flipping. Not consistent. Yeah. So anyway, I don't know how we got into yeah, he started flipping. Not consistent, yeah. So anyway, I don't know how we got into that, but they're all liars. I'm not the, you know. Old people. That's not my list. I brought that out. June F. says,
Starting point is 01:03:34 Great news. Shoot shooting have ceased altogether. Alright. Swampy says, In the Purge, there is a scene where it shows Purge feed and it shows Ohio and the date is 3-21-20. That's tomorrow. Creepy, ha ha ha. Love the show, Tim and crew. You guys rock. Stay safe, fellow Americans.
Starting point is 01:03:49 Appreciate it. That is crazy because you were saying yesterday that the Purge is real and it's happening and it turns out it starts tomorrow. Hold on, man. Just a little bit ahead. Wouldn't it be exciting if at the next press conference, like, Trump got up and said, for the next 24 hours, all crime will be made legal.
Starting point is 01:04:10 That'd be epic. That would be really exciting. I'd freak out. Like, we'd all freak out. Yeah. It's funny because you get all these young people who are like, wouldn't it be cool, like, a zombie apocalypse? Nope. It's like, dude.
Starting point is 01:04:19 No. None of these things would be okay. But you know people who are like, you talk about how cool it would be. They talk a big game. They talk a big game, how exciting it would be to be in a zombie apocalypse. It's like, bro, have you ever gone to a bad neighborhood? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Go to a bad neighborhood and then talk. I've driven, I've lived in bad neighborhoods, and I've gone to actual conflict zones, and it's like, you ever see a rabbit outside, and it's like its eyes are huge, and it's just shaking wherever it's standing? Its entire existence is stress. Everything wants to eat you and you have to hide.
Starting point is 01:04:50 That's what it would be like. Yeah, basically. Your hair would fall out. Your skin would go pale. You'd have rings under your eyes and you'd be like, you'd be shaking violently. Yeah, all I can think of when I see all these kids running around doing stupid stuff is like, you have no idea how lucky we are as humans right
Starting point is 01:05:05 now. They have no idea. They have no clue. There's a saying. Hard times make strong men. Strong men make good times. Good times make weak men. And weak men make hard times. Yep. And it's not a true statement, but there are some historical analogs, but it's basically
Starting point is 01:05:22 just an opinion. And the wheel of time continues. I think it's accurate. I guess we'll see. To an extent, it is. It's basically talking about how generations, it's not so much about men, it's about generations failing and getting, you know... People get fat and content. This happened in Rome.
Starting point is 01:05:37 It happened anywhere people have been really successful. Yeah, it feels like that's what's happening. And they get weak. We get over 200 years and that's it. And then a collapse happens. All this medicine that's keeping us alive for so much longer. Oh, dude. And when something like coronavirus comes and hits us all,
Starting point is 01:05:56 it's like, we're not prepared for it. We don't have the medicine for it. I can't believe it, man. People are dying. We've been slowly walking into this. You know, we're a chicken with its head cut off. we've been slowly walking into this you know there's no we're a chicken with its head cut off we've been giving away our manufacturing to china because there's been no one to say stop doing this yeah and it's and no reason to say yeah no one's great
Starting point is 01:06:16 everyone's like yeah life's good like you see what the chinese like some chinese economic minister like came out and gave a speech saying it would be wrong for america to manufacture its own products they said oh yeah natural market forces and good business decisions have built these relationships over a long period of time and to abandon them now would be foolish when did this come out like today are you serious yeah oh my god i'm like wait a minute hold on you guys were just saying you're gonna take our medicine away yeah you would drown us in the mighty sea of two days ago that you were gonna stop stop giving us medicine. And now they're like, actually, maybe you shouldn't make your medicine. We should make it because it's good trade.
Starting point is 01:06:49 You know what it is? What? They were all – it was in the Xinhua newspaper where they said this. They didn't say it to us. Oh, my goodness. So it's basically like – That's ridiculous. We overhear them smack talking us.
Starting point is 01:07:00 And so we're like, we're going to leave. No, no, no, no, no. Don't leave. We need your money. It's like, no, dude, I'm good. It's like, no, I'm pretty sure all Americans are together in the fact that we need to start producing our own stuff. I don't, you know, it's what's
Starting point is 01:07:11 crazy to me is how many Trump supporters are still rejecting the notion that the virus is a serious threat. Really? Not all of them. But for real, for a long time, a lot of, you know, even Fox News was late to the game, except for Tucker. Tucker was before everyone, even the mainstream media. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 01:07:27 Like CNN stuff. Tucker's great. But there was like, you know, Hannity, Laura Ingraham, a couple other people. They were downplaying it. One woman got her show pulled because she called it like a big hoax or something. I don't remember exactly what she said. But the crazy thing to me is the coronavirus isn't Trump's fault. So it would have been smart for any Trump supporter to have called it out.
Starting point is 01:07:45 Probably why Tucker did. But more importantly, it's now given him the power to do whatever he wants. Yeah. Like obviously not whatever he wants, but he just shut down the borders, North and South. He's keeping Canadians out.
Starting point is 01:07:57 Yep. Boom. Like that. Now, now he's got the defense, defense production act. He hasn't, hasn't actually triggered it yet,
Starting point is 01:08:04 but now he could literally be like, all right, all the manufacturing has to come back. He doesn't need to ask anymore. He can just literally be like, boom, do it. So he's now going to get everything he wants. They're now deporting all asylum seekers without question. No one's challenging them. Supreme Court said, nope, we're not going to be doing this while we're in an emergency right now. So he's just getting free reign to do
Starting point is 01:08:26 his thing. That's a frightening premise. You've got feminists. When one man has that much power. It is. But in a time of national emergency, I mean, there are limits for sure. If he goes nuts, you'll see la resistance. Like a legit one, not these stupid people who wear pink hats and think they're doing something
Starting point is 01:08:41 with their little firecrackers walking down the street. But Trump is he's turned away all asylum seekers without without question. There's no more. There's no more courts while waiting for this. And no one's complaining. They're actually agreeing with him. Like the pundits on TV. There's still some naysayers. But now a poll came out from Harris and ABC showing the majority of Americans support his actions on the coronavirus.
Starting point is 01:09:07 It's helping him in every step, every way. I mean, the market's tanking, but no one's blaming him for it. Right. He's going to be like FDR. I know, right? Yeah, probably. There's that meme of the, what was it, Tom Hanks movie where the boat gets kidnapped? Oh, Castaways?
Starting point is 01:09:22 Yeah. Is that what it was? I'm not sure. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Where the guy's like, look at me on the captain now. yeah the captain phillips yeah there's the meme it's you know that that dude who's like look at me i am the captain now no you never saw that so it's a meme and not it's he's wearing a maga hat okay and it says look at me i am the socialist now but dude dude like the the so trump and the proposal from the republicans is to give everyone one thousand
Starting point is 01:09:46 two hundred dollars okay and it's it's it's it's not perfect it's like they're breaking it off your 2018 tax returns which is like not going to make sense for a lot of people but the progressives are totally down for it and they're saying like we need to do this cut these checks immediately trump supporters are like trump we trust you do it and the democrats are like no no no no no we're not going to give people relief so all of a sudden like it's not even about being a socialist so it is annoying when people are calling it socialism i think it's just called emergency stimulus emergency provisions this is not socialism and it's weird to see socialists saying go trump yeah they're cheering for cheering for him. Yeah, it is weird. He's gonna win.
Starting point is 01:10:26 Yeah, I think so too. Alright, let's get through these super chats. What it's doing also is showing the, it's polarizing, like putting a microscope on those Democrats that just say no, Trump bad, no matter what he's doing. Even though everyone else,
Starting point is 01:10:42 even the people that used to agree with him are like, yeah, this is good. We need this. And they're like, no, it's bad. Yeah, exactly. That's crazy, man. Right. I feel like we got to be in some kind of video game or comedy sketch.
Starting point is 01:10:57 This can't be a real existence. I'm glad, though. You know why? Isn't it better that life is exciting than, you know? I don't mean for the virus. I mean the silliness of politics. These are interesting times. I'm here for it.
Starting point is 01:11:09 Maybe it's always interesting, though. Maybe times are always interesting. No, I mean, just like, we look back on history and it's condensed. Yeah, that's a good point. When we read about World War I, it's like, in this month this happened, and then in this month this happened. Sounds boring. But no, no. To us, we read this, in this month this happened, and then in this month this happened. Sounds boring. But no, no, to us, we read this one paragraph of all this
Starting point is 01:11:28 exciting, crazy stuff. Right. This invasion happened, then the generals had this. And in real life, it took over a couple months. So for the most part, things were boring. It reminds me of, like, I'll be watching a TV show, and I'm always thinking, like, why is it that in this universe
Starting point is 01:11:44 crazy stuff happens all the time? Yeah. Non-stop. But in reality, it's not. In a lot of shows, there's time gaps between each episode to a certain degree. And so I always wondered, like, watching, like, Marvel MCU movies, the time jumps between movies is typically from when, like, the movie was published. And so I'm imagining there's, like, in the beginning of Infinity War, war when dr strange is like what sandwich do you want and he's like i wouldn't
Starting point is 01:12:07 say no to a tuna melt there's a whole bunch of boring nothing that happens in between these great epic movies yeah you know where it's like the superheroes are eating shawarma like at the end of avengers yeah yeah that's good so yeah life typically is fairly routine but now we're in this time where everything feels like an eternity because every day something crazy is happening. Maybe the internet is just making us feel like life is crazier than it really is. Well, yeah, that does make sense. Information is spreading.
Starting point is 01:12:34 I have this hypothesis. You know they say that when you get older, time flies like the older you get. Yeah. I don't know why. I was thinking about what that could be and i was feeling here's what i think when you're younger everything to you is new and you have to really like absorb it well there's there's also the comparison of like a 10 year old only knows what
Starting point is 01:12:58 10 years feels like yeah so one year is 10 of that person's life. Where a 30-year-old, they've been alive 30 years. Three times more. Right. And then a 60-year-old, so one year. A year is a smaller portion of your life. Yeah, it's a significantly smaller portion as you go. But I don't think that explains perception. Here's what I think.
Starting point is 01:13:20 When you're younger and you experience the mailman showing up for the first time, and you're confused, who is this man? What is he doing? And your parents explain it to you. You absorb that moment. You remember that moment. That moment matters. When you're older, these little moments become completely negligible,
Starting point is 01:13:34 and your brain just, don't need it. Oh, it's the mailman. It means nothing. Whatever. Routine. So now what's happening is your active experience of your life is cutting out everything you don't think matters. So if you do something...
Starting point is 01:13:46 Yeah, that makes sense. So it's like the amount of time where you're actively analyzing and absorbing something gets smaller and smaller as you get older. And so throughout your day, your mind is cutting out bigger and bigger portions of your day. Right, that's why you forget stuff. And it feels like time is moving faster because these things that don't matter anymore. So that's why I've always felt like do something new every day and it will feel like a longer time is spent now we have this news cycle where every single day we get 50 billion crazy things that's why this week has gone by so
Starting point is 01:14:16 fast no no that's the opposite i don't know i feel like this week flew by dude for me yeah i feel like coronavirus coronavirus coronavirus to me yeah dude i feel like... It's just coronavirus. I feel five years older. Coronavirus to me. Yeah, dude, I feel like the past two months have been ten years. Really? Because it's just nuts.
Starting point is 01:14:30 Dude, I can't even believe this. I don't know. No, listen, man. It's Friday today, and I was like... I woke up today, and I'm like, dang, it's Friday.
Starting point is 01:14:35 Think about this. How did this get here so quick? You went off... You were back in Arizona in January. Yeah. And we didn't even have the show going.
Starting point is 01:14:44 True. And coronavirus was happening, and I was making videos about it and stuff. And now it we didn't even have the show going. Sure. And coronavirus was happening and I was making videos about it and stuff. And now it's like we're in the middle of it. It happened. I'm like,
Starting point is 01:14:50 when did this happen? I was talking about this and we were going to the store and go to the movies and everything was normal. Yeah, we went to the movies a few times this year. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:58 And now it's like, like, flicks, you know, a switch was flicked and now everything is dramatically different. Like we've been locked down. Yeah. That's crazy. It feels like it different like we've been locked down. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:05 That's crazy. It feels like it's been a really long time. We should review a movie. We can't go to the movies. They're closed. But they opened the movies to online. Oh, that's right. We can watch The Hunt after this.
Starting point is 01:15:15 We can go watch that and we can do something different tomorrow. We should watch The Hunt. Yeah, we'll do it on Monday. Yeah, you guys know The Hunt where basically a bunch of conservatives get kidnapped by liberals. And I thought they canceled it, didn't they? And they were like, let's bring it back. Friday the 13th, and then the coronavirus happens. Let's prep everyone for the real purge.
Starting point is 01:15:33 It's happening soon. Coming soon to a town near you. No. All right, let's read a little bit more. Yes. Keep sidetracking us. Sorry. David Jensen says, since you are talking about people with no inner monologue, you should
Starting point is 01:15:44 also talk about people who can't visualize things in their heads. I can't visualize in my head. Oh, weird. To me, that's crazy. Wow. That is. I was talking to Nisha earlier about that. It's like, you know, not a lot of people have an inner monologue, but it's not the inner
Starting point is 01:15:57 monologue that people think like the movie movie inner monologue is like, I went to the store and then, oh man, I was really nervous about meeting this girl at this date. It's like no one's actually thinking that. Plop, plop. Yeah, it's not that. But most of the time, it is visualizing things in your head. That's what you do. You're more of a visual thing.
Starting point is 01:16:18 So I think in several different ways. When I skate, before I do a trick, if I'm trying to learn something new, I slow motion visualize how i do it my head but what does a person do that can't do that what what is going on like this person just said they can't visualize things i don't know so what what do you what what is going on in there what are you thinking when you think you know like if you can't visualize something and you have no inner monologue what is it what what exists in there in your brain i'm i'm seriously asking i'm curious i have no inner monologue what is it what what exists in there in your brain i'm i'm seriously asking i'm curious i have no idea we got to get someone on the show more of these yeah student of history says hey tim what do you think the odds of chloroquine
Starting point is 01:16:53 being a helpful drug in all of this also have you seen in a nutshell's video about corona says the immuno response is actually the reason you get hit right so the immune reaction is really harsh and fills your lungs with fluid and then you can't breathe and then... That's why I think they put someone into an induced coma to try and, like, reduce this somehow or something like that.
Starting point is 01:17:13 Oh, wow. Dean Badger says, I imagine a cop going, what are you doing out here? You cough on your hand and start walking toward him. He shoots you because he's in fear for his life. Justified.
Starting point is 01:17:23 Yeah, well, no in America. That's frighteningly true. Maham says, we cannot have a nation shutdown. The media caused so much to panic by. I can barely get food myself in the city. If not, disregard safety measures. If this shutdown gets approved, then all civility will be lost in the US. There are new videos and photos emerging of beautiful,
Starting point is 01:17:42 beautiful, pristine stocked shelves at Costco. And it's like people celebrating capitalism. But yes, Costco had a bunch of the supplies in the back, just needed to restock them. Right. So a lot of these images of the shelves being empty was because people went in really, really fast, took it all, and then they
Starting point is 01:17:58 didn't have a night to restock everything. Right. So now the restocking has happened and, like, we got milk. We should go to Costco again, Rob. But it's not even – now I'm not even worried at all. I don't even want to go to Costco. So the milk was all gone the other day. Today, milk.
Starting point is 01:18:13 No problem. Okay. Yeah. Milk and bread. All good. No distilled water, though. That was a bummer. Yeah, the water thing.
Starting point is 01:18:20 People are starting to wise up on the water. Oh, yeah. Travis Potter says, this is the second quarantine here in southwest Michigan within a year.

Starting point is 01:23:41 If you can't get a background check, you can't buy. And they've shut down background checks, so you can't buy. Welcome to the workaround for the Second Amendment. James Murray says, here is $5 per hole I would like you to drill into your table. I love you, but you've got to hide that cable. Which one? Oh, these cables in the table? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:57 Okay. Whatever. Yeah. Should we drill holes in the table? No. What would make sense if we just had them come from this way? Yeah. I was thinking about that, actually.
Starting point is 01:24:06 It does bug me. So I'm with you. We'll figure it out. Whoever just commented that. Four-legged thanks for becoming a member and Gen X side. Elfo says, a disease found in Lyme, Connecticut, gets its own name. A disease found in Uganda by the West Nile gets its own name. Disease near the Ebola River gets its own name.
Starting point is 01:24:23 Yet it's racist to call it the Wuhan virus. Welcome to the media. There's literally nothing the president could do. Cancel culture. So let me see if I can find this story. Oh, I got a couple of stories, but this is the one I really want to get to. The new trend.
Starting point is 01:24:38 Yeah, this. Young people who have no regard for, I don't know, existence. They're basically a whole bunch of little jokers. Out of control teenagers coughing on grocery store produce. Let me first say something. This may surprise many of you, but I'm going to have some defensive words for millennials. Often I like to rag on millennials for being stunted, you know, lackadaisical layabouts.
Starting point is 01:25:02 Well, millennials are actually getting older now. They're not the teens that are doing this stupid stuff. They're us. Yeah, we're complaining about these youngins now. So here's what's happening. Because, you know, the same thing was probably true for Gen X when they were younger. Because millennial was the go-to, like, Repskelian with no regard for whatever. Okay, boomer.
Starting point is 01:25:22 It's the same thing. Right. Yeah. Well, no, no, that's going up. Right, it's the other way. They drag millennials for all of the things that Gen Z is doing. Millennials are nearing 40. They're in their mid-30s now.
Starting point is 01:25:36 They have houses in the suburbs and kids. And kids, what? They are not the ones going around planking, partying in South Beach during a pandemic. They're the ones on the balcony screaming, go home. Yeah, we're getting old. Yeah, we're getting real cranky. And now we're cranky. And these whippersnappers coughing on produce.
Starting point is 01:25:58 Doing shots at each other's butts. Oh my gosh. I never knew about that. I don't know if I believe it. The beer on the butts thing? I saw it. Yeah, the beer on the butts thing. I saw it. Yeah, the beer on the butt thing. I saw it.
Starting point is 01:26:06 Yeah, they pour it down the crack and then catch it under the crack. Oh, my gosh. And they do it. It's like a human-scented thing. So what? They're putting their mouth at the tape? Yep. Dude, they're going under the butts.
Starting point is 01:26:17 I just... Why? What? Have you been to South Beach, bro? No. You partied? And I will never go. Right.
Starting point is 01:26:26 Well, yeah, because you're an old man. Yeah, we're all both part. We did go to South Beach, actually, that one time. Oh, that's right. We did. We walked through and we were like, look at all these crazy people. I have only two words for you, bro. Okay, boomer.
Starting point is 01:26:36 Oh, my gosh. Okay, boomer. Sure. And now I'm officially a boomer and a millennial. Okay. Somehow. Idle teenagers are participating in a disturbing trend of coughing
Starting point is 01:26:46 on grocery store produce and posting their pranks online as the nation fights the coronavirus, which is known to spread from human droplets spraying from mouths. The latest incident
Starting point is 01:26:57 occurred in the Washington exurb of Percival, Virginia, some 55 miles from the White House. According to a Percival police department report, an incident occurred at a local grocery store involving juveniles reportedly coughing on
Starting point is 01:27:10 produce while filming themselves and posting it on social media. Congratulations, young people, you are dumb. The report said that the store identified on social media as Harris Teeter immediately removed the items and cleaned up the area. The police said the grocery store immediately removed the items in question and the area. The police said the grocery store immediately removed the items in question and has taken appropriate measures to ensure the health of store patrons. On a community Facebook page, one woman who said she witnessed the event wrote, punk teenagers are hitting the grocery stores, coughing all over the produce and the grocery items, filming it and posting it to YouTube. It scared the hell out of one elderly woman
Starting point is 01:27:43 who was just trying to grocery shop. Why the hell aren't these people keeping their teens home? This is not summer vacay. The police investigating the case said there is a national trend by teenagers to cough on food and film it. That sounds right. It does. It sounds right.
Starting point is 01:27:59 It's not even surprising anymore. We are asking for parental assistance in monitoring your teenagers' activities, as well as their social media posts to avoid the increase of any further such incidents. We have learned that this appears to be a disturbing trend on social media across the country, and we ask for help from parents
Starting point is 01:28:16 to discourage this behavior immediately. In the past two weeks, schools around the nation have closed as authorities deal with the virus. Hold on, go back, go back. So this quote here, when they're saying we're asking for parental assistance, it's like, no, no, no. Don't assist. Be parents to your kids. Do your job.
Starting point is 01:28:33 This is literally your job. You have kids. It's your responsibility to teach them that this is stupid. And dangerous. This pisses me off. So Argentina's on lockdown. Stupid people. And there was a video on Reddit of a bunch of Gen Z people hanging like, hanging out in the park. And then cops show up in hazmat suits and start running full speed and, like, tackling them and arresting them.
Starting point is 01:28:51 And I have mixed feelings about this. Okay. Like, I'm not sure I'm a fan of, like, the government coming in and cracking down on people standing around in the park. Yeah. But I'm also extremely annoyed by these ridiculously arrogant morons. Yep. Who are like, who cares? It's whatever.
Starting point is 01:29:04 It's dumb. I'm just trying to get likes. I can't get hurt. Oh who cares? It's whatever. It's dumb. I'm just trying to get likes. I can't get hurt. Oh, yeah. Coughing on... Yeah. Yeah, you're so cool. And it's dudes who are going to face the brunt.
Starting point is 01:29:12 It's like these little kids, now that they're out of school, they have nothing to do. Yeah. So they're doing what social media has bred them to do. Yeah, that's true. Be stupid because it gets them clicks.
Starting point is 01:29:22 God, man. You gotta stop glorifying this stuff. It's not even about glorifying it. It's about... They do, though. They're in the news. Boom, they won. That's it.
Starting point is 01:29:30 They won. It's not even about glorifying it. Well, it's great. This is the first time we've done this or talked about something like this, and I don't see their names. I don't see their pictures. It's true. I don't either.
Starting point is 01:29:39 I don't see the videos of them coughing. Awesome. This is great. This is just exactly what needed to happen. It's like parents need to know that this is the case. Stop it from doing it. Here's the thing. Here's the thing, right?
Starting point is 01:29:52 This is over the top. Agreed. But even the kids, I shouldn't even say the kids. They're like 20 or older. We'll have to know better. It says teenagers. No, but I'm talking about the South Beach stuff. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:30:02 So like these are, you know, older college students. Drinking, yeah. We are getting these mandatory lockdowns now because of that. In New Jersey, they put the curfew in place because the governor straight up said, there are too many videos of these young people going to bars and just not caring. So now we're going to shut the bars down. 8 p.m. So you mean to tell me I can't responsibly go about my business, maybe have a drink?
Starting point is 01:30:22 Go to the freaking store? Because a bunch of dumb kids are sharing drinks and partying and sipping booze off each other's butts? I mean, I'm pretty sure we're at the point where you know that it's much easier and better to just go spend the same amount you had at the bar for like five times the amount of liquor or beer and bring it home and bring all your friends home
Starting point is 01:30:43 and hang out here. So you know what, man? Easy. We're in the suburbs. We have a backyard. Yeah. Dude, I do not envy CityFull. Man, I'm grateful for that skate ramp, dude.
Starting point is 01:30:52 I was skating out there and it's awesome. I don't know what I would do without it. So I'm seeing all these posts where people are talking about exercises you can do at home. Yeah, I know. Because there are people who live in cubicles in New York. Yeah. And they spend most of their time outside of their cubicle. They just sleep in it.
Starting point is 01:31:06 But now you can't. Well, there's this whole skate thing going around where people are doing skate tricks inside. It's kind of cool, actually. Actually, one kid did a trick, and I saw the floor break. I was like, ooh. I don't think he even noticed. I saw one cool thing where. That's cool.
Starting point is 01:31:21 They're rocking out some killer tricks inside. A dude using just the deck with no wheels. See, this is the cool stuff kids are doing. I saw that, actually. With the couch. On the couch. Popping up on the couch. I was so tempted to go in the living room.
Starting point is 01:31:31 Popped up on the couch and then did a kickflip off of it. It did a few tricks. That was cool. Check it out, man. Skateboarders are doing cool stuff. Yeah, they are. They're not going out and causing problems. That's right.
Starting point is 01:31:39 They're not drinking. They're not coughing on the produce. Here's the thing. You know what it is? Skateboarders have an outlet for doing something on camera to get likes that's a good point it's true that's true yeah these people don't have that so they fill that gap with nonsense like coughing on people's you know on produce and stores and causing trouble chasing yeah that's crazy man it's true you know i think i think that might be why i never grew up. Actually, look, when I was younger, we did dumb stuff.
Starting point is 01:32:07 Yeah. But we wouldn't go into a store and cough on people's produce. We would go out and skate, and we would do other things. I guess I grew up in the Bam Margera, CKY kind of era. Okay. So hurting your friends and yourself more than others. But it was consensual. Right.
Starting point is 01:32:24 It was consensual. Getting in a shopping cart and having it crash into a curb and you go flying out of it and roll in the grass. Or into a bush. Everybody seemed to love doing that. I will admit I've done it myself. I was more into the skateboarding though, right? So what we were doing was stupid kid stuff, but skateboarding
Starting point is 01:32:39 quickly became that outlet where it was like, if you wanted to, we didn't even have really likes back then, I guess, you know, we still had video views and stuff in the early days of social media. But if you wanted to get attention and you wanted to show off, you had to be good at skateboarding.
Starting point is 01:32:53 Yeah. So even the kids I knew who didn't like skateboarding would still try and do something to be like, look, I can do something too. Now you've got kids who grew up with, without anything, but social media is making it so,
Starting point is 01:33:03 well, they want followers. That's like the thing to be successful these days. How many followers do you have? How many likes do you have? How many views do you get? Right. Well, they found a way.
Starting point is 01:33:12 So it's like the dude who got arrested for licking the ice cream. Yeah. It's going to keep getting worse. And now that we're in a national emergency, I wouldn't be surprised if we're going to see this tenfold. I agree because, I mean, even the celebrities are going crazy. Oh, that's right. In their rich-ass places. So, what about... Desperate
Starting point is 01:33:32 for attention. Yeah, they're desperate for attention, let alone, like, the kids that, you know, they're actually getting attention when they go to school. You know, they're around with their peers and other kids, like, you know, there still is that aspect, so they're getting some sort of something from kids like you know there still is that aspect so they're getting some sort of something from it but now that they have nothing you know they got to stay
Starting point is 01:33:49 inside their homes it's just going to be like oh i gotta get attention itching i need attention i need that instagram jones let me get a couple likes yeah the internet was a mistake i know right i'm kidding and it's awesome yeah the internet's great but in some ways it really magnifies all our flaws. Well, the bigger problem is bad parenting. Yeah. We're asking parents for assistance here. No, it's called telling the parents to do their jobs as parents.
Starting point is 01:34:13 Smack the kid. I'm kidding. Don't smack him. But I'm being facetious. Just be a parent. Be a parent. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. It's not that complicated.
Starting point is 01:34:20 I'm not a parent. You know what it is? I'm not a parent either. It gets that complicated. But I helped raise so many kids in my life because I have younger siblings, younger cousins. For days, I've got younger cousins. And there's always a baby around always. And it was always pitched off to like the teenagers of the family, which happened to
Starting point is 01:34:39 me for a while. And then I don't know. This is it. This is just like the hard times make strong men you know so we've we've got parents in the it's a bubble so they keep trying to be the cool parents i'm cool i'm hip i'm with it oh and then do what you want kids that was really funny right and so the kids are out of control yeah they do dumb stuff and of course not all of gen z and they don't want to offend anyone yep especially their kid
Starting point is 01:35:05 oh that that yeah do you see um speaking of the coronavirus right colbert he built his career of offensive comedy yeah mocking different races and stereotypes and he's and he defended it by saying my character made those jokes right now now that he's on cbs he's just gonna say he's letting go of this character and now he's going to be himself. He said that when he started the show. The point is, dude, just because he's doing a character, he's making offensive jokes. He was making fun. He had a routine where he would make fun of Asians. And then every time he got called out and they would attack him for it, he would double down.
Starting point is 01:35:42 Yeah. And it was hilarious. Right. And we all respected it. Yeah. Like you go, go man it's a joke grow up now that he left and went to cbs now he's completely in agreement with all of these like can't make you know nasty jokes or whatever that's a shame yep so it's it's the desperation to fit in and the evolution of the the people who are supposed to be cool will say whatever they have to say so when these kids are out of control and say whatever they want,
Starting point is 01:36:05 the parents go, you got it. Whatever you say. They become losers. They become weak. Let's do this. Let's jump now to the celebrities are losing their minds story. And we'll go through this one. Sam Smith shares quarantine meltdown on Instagram.
Starting point is 01:36:24 I don't care. Well, we're done. Thanks for checking. Oh, man. No, no. I have some theories about what's wrong with celebrities. Please. Someone in the comments was asked.
Starting point is 01:36:36 I think it was Zero. He wants a Tim theory. So check it out. Just any sort of Tim theory. Oh, here comes a Tim theory. Here we go. Give it to him. All right, all right.
Starting point is 01:36:44 When you are a little kid, and let's imagine you're a child actor, actress, musician, whatever, Disney kid, you know, everyone in the world keeps telling you how amazing you are. You grow up with this intense pressure. You got to be the best.
Starting point is 01:36:58 You got to do this. And you're on top of the world as a little kid. You now feel, as you grow up, the amount of love and attention you got from the entire world is baseline. Not good, not bad. Normal.
Starting point is 01:37:11 So what happens when you become a weird-looking adult, and then all of a sudden people don't give you that much attention anymore, and you go down to slightly below average for you? You're still famous. We see these child actors and actresses go insane, starting fires in driveways, throwing bongs out windows.
Starting point is 01:37:29 And add that to our conversation yesterday about, you know, the female versus guys thing. It's like if the baseline starts here for everybody now, everyone's starting up here, like no matter if you're a guy or a girl, you know, then it's actually even worse for girls. So here's what happens. Because it gets worse over time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:48 These kids and these celebrities are told constantly by everyone how amazing and smart they are because they got money and power. Yeah. And so they got Yes Men and boot lickers all over the place. Yeah. Brown nosers jamming their noses straight up the butts. And it feels good. It's like drinking beer. What happens then when you get
Starting point is 01:38:05 locked down in a quarantine? All of a sudden, there's no one there to tell you how amazing you are. And guess what? Dude's crying. Like the dude cried apparently. Oh, they took the picture off. Of him crying? Yeah, there was a picture of him crying. That was the Daily Mail. It was a different article.
Starting point is 01:38:21 I remember seeing it though. So apparently, I don't care. They say that. Write another song. It was a different article. Oh, okay, okay. I remember seeing it, though. So apparently... I don't care. They say that... Write another song. You're a musician. Seriously, when I'm stuck somewhere with my guitar, guess what I do? I play guitar. I know.
Starting point is 01:38:33 And I write a song about it. Because you're an actual artist. Write a song about... He's not. Oh, snap. He's not. Well, thank you that you consider me an artist. Florbo.
Starting point is 01:38:40 Yeah, that's what you do with your downtime. Sorry. Florbo's an artist. Florbo's an artist. Excuse me. Yes, sorry. Florbo told Florbo's self that, you know, Florbo was going to stay home and stay safe. And cry a lot.
Starting point is 01:38:50 Yeah. So for those that aren't familiar, Florbo is the word I use for gender neutral because... If you're not a man or a woman, you're a Florbo. That is correct. No, no, no, anybody who opts to use a non-standard pronoun is Florbo. Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what you end up with are people who say, I'm gonna make
Starting point is 01:39:06 you use the pronoun I want you to use, and my response is, well, here's the problem. If I use your pronoun, I could offend someone else. You know, I'm gonna try not to offend you, but if I don't say your pronoun, you'll get offended. If I do, someone else in the room could get offended.
Starting point is 01:39:21 And I think it's fair that we avoid offending everybody. So, now I'm gonna call you a floor bow. Yep. All right? That's fair. Floor bow. Floor bow. I really do.
Starting point is 01:39:29 I do like it. I agree with it. Yeah. That way, you know, and it's also like you can't tell me what to say. Right? Yeah, don't tell me what to do. So Sam Smith apparently had a breakdown. But this is my theory, right?
Starting point is 01:39:39 And I'll reiterate, I don't care. Yep. Think about a little kid who is a movie star and then once they start getting older and go through the awkward phase or whatever. Yeah. Now people aren't saying nice things to them anymore and it feels like they're doing something wrong. So YouTubers experience this and it's really funny. People – YouTubers' moods are predictable based on their traffic. Like you can go to a vlogger's channel, look at their past week of YouTube videos,
Starting point is 01:40:07 and you'll see their view count slowly going down. And then all of a sudden a video will emerge where they're like, I don't know if I can do this anymore. And they're like, it's just been so hard on me and I'm like struggling with this. And I'm like, yeah, bro, your views have been going down. Yeah. Now it's possible their views are going down because they were losing their heart. They weren't into it anymore.
Starting point is 01:40:23 But in reality, this is a known phenomenon that people are attaching their success to the amount of the number associated with their videos. The same is true for these celebrities who are now freaking out. Look at this one. This one's funny. The quarantine celebrities have lost their minds.
Starting point is 01:40:40 Will Ferrell is funny in every single... Show this picture. Look at look at look how funny his face is. His face is great. His face is great. He looks funny right there. It looks like he's just like he probably was like toughed his hair up like, oh, yeah, I'm
Starting point is 01:40:57 going to lean into this crazy celebrity thing. He has a sense of humor. I cannot stand these people. You know, I hate celebrities. I couldn't bring myself to unmute the video and actually listen. I still haven't heard it. I don't know what it sounds like, and I don't want to hear it.
Starting point is 01:41:16 I don't want to do it. The Daily Beast for once nails it, calling the video cursed. If that cursed Imagine Singalong video from Gal Gadot is any indication the quarantine celebs are starting to lose it thankfully we found some make we found we found some making things nice too oh yeah we found some making things nice i'm gonna assume that's will ferrell's part of it just because i don't know he's just talking about like no i just want to believe it
Starting point is 01:41:39 all right all right okay conversation over okay so you know it's the cringiest thing well first of all this is just so so awful yeah look man i'm not trying to uh i always want to clarify when i when i say negative things it's not to elicit an emotional response from someone like when someone insults you they're trying to make you get an emotional reaction i'm not trying to do that i genuinely detest this i mean there was a time that i was affected by people insulting me because I was modeling for a long time. And I was my face was all over the place. And I did certain things that people made fun of me. And I used to get upset about it.
Starting point is 01:42:15 And then I realized one day it didn't really matter what other people turned off. Turn the screen off. Yeah, it's great. Look at Sarah Silverman's face. She even knows how cringy it is. She's cringing herself. She's like, oh, this is bad, but I'm going to do it. All right, sorry.
Starting point is 01:42:29 Go ahead. These people are like narcissism incarnate. It's like, man, it's just the worst people you've ever met. The absolute worst snooty elitists who think they're smarter and better than you. And this is why they're celebrities, because they're driven to be in front of everyone else. I was reading this study that said, why is it so many celebrities are narcissists? And it said, if you take 100 people and you have 99 of them saying are modest and, you know, unsure of themselves at some point at some sometimes or ask for advice,
Starting point is 01:43:05 they'll say things like a regular person. You know, I made this painting. What do you think of it? You think it's good? I'm not so sure I like it. Yeah. The narcissist says everything I do is amazing. Everyone needs to look at me. And so they jump out in front of everyone and start dancing around so everyone can see them. Yeah. And that's why they become celebrities. Then they think, well, we are special celebrities. Let's all get our... Let's all text everybody because everyone will love us so much if we do this video together. And I'm just like, you people are awful.
Starting point is 01:43:32 It's just awful. It's bad. So, but I really do feel like they know what they're doing. Your era is gone. The celebrity is doing these silly things. They got a text message together and said, hey, everybody, let's all do this thing to people. They think they're this special thing.
Starting point is 01:43:50 You're not. You're just weird people. You're arrogant and narcissistic. And bored. And bored. Too much money. I think they're bored. Too much time.
Starting point is 01:44:00 They're used to having strict schedules for movies. And then they have like two months off where they're like, oh, I have off. I can travel to some exotic place. Not all of them. I don't know. I mean, like, some of them are not really doing much right now. Well, then why are they going crazy if they're not doing much?
Starting point is 01:44:16 Because they're narcissists who are used to having everyone shove their noses up their butts. Right. Now they're locked in their house saying, like, imagine this way. Imagine if every day you went to a meeting and, like, ten people walked up and started sniffing your butt. their butts now they're locked in their house saying like imagine imagine this way imagine if every day you went to a meeting and like 10 people walked up and started sniffing your butt you'd be used to it to be normal and then one day you're at home you're under quarantine
Starting point is 01:44:32 and no one's sniffed your butt you're gonna be like dude i need to go on twitter and get some people to start sniffing my butt and then you start tweeting and posting this dumb stuff thinking that now people are going to give you that attention you want yeah i bet these people go through their mentions and like read every single one i mean everybody likes attention everybody no it's not true i don't know i don't agree with that no there are people who are introverted and don't like being the center of attention in some ways they like attention somewhere i think people like being respected like they like social acceptance and approval okay so that's another way of saying it
Starting point is 01:45:05 so something happened to these people not all of them like i think will ferrell's all right you know he's a funny guy he seems cool but i think a lot of these celebrities something happened to them when they were young where they like didn't ever get fulfilled or like their parents never told them like you're doing a good job or something okay it's like the stereotype of like the mom like with a little girl and she's always yelling at her like, you have to act harder and sing better. But I'm trying. No, do harder. It's like no matter what she does, never good enough.
Starting point is 01:45:30 Okay. Then when she's older, it's this. She needs everyone to be tweeting at her. You're the best. I love you. You're so great. Otherwise, they feel like they've done something wrong. That's what I was saying about child actors.
Starting point is 01:45:41 Yeah, that's true. That's it. I see it. If you grow up and you're on stage and you're you're uh you know everyone's clapping and cheering for you what happens then when your show is over like what was that chick from all that and then she had her own the amanda amanda binds oh she went crazy i think she's doing okay now crazy yeah she like started a fire in a driveway seriously yeah she was on all that when she was young and then she had her own show called the amanda show and that's
Starting point is 01:46:04 actually where that dude drake from drake and j his start, too, and he got his own show. You don't know Drake and Josh? It's like a kid sitcom. I don't know, man. It's just like Disney Channel stuff. People know this stuff. I'm sorry. Wait.
Starting point is 01:46:15 No, no, no. TV? No, I don't watch TV. Okay. Anyway, the point is she was young. She was on the show. She had her own show. Okay.
Starting point is 01:46:22 And then all of a sudden, as time went on, she started going crazy. Like Lindsay Lohan, too. Oh, yeah. I remember that. It's like, yeah, as they get older and they're no longer like. Britney Spears. She went crazy, too, didn't she? She did have a little meltdown.
Starting point is 01:46:35 I don't know about that. I mean. I don't know. I don't know. I remember a time where she went crazy. She shaved all her hair off. That was because of drug testing. Drug testing. She was getting drug tested.
Starting point is 01:46:43 They wanted to take her kid away. So I don't know the full story. Stressful. They wanted to do a hair test, so she shaved her head off, so they couldn't do a hair test because she had, you know, 10 years of hair. Yeah, okay. So I don't know the full story, so I don't want to, I'm not going to slam Britney. I don't know anything about it.
Starting point is 01:46:59 No, I'm kidding. But I'm not here to defend, you know, Britney Spears or whatever. The point is, yeah, a lot of them go through these weird breakdowns where they lose it and they go nuts. It reminds me of – you ever see the movie Dogma? Yeah. When Bethany in the beginning says that when she was younger, she had a glass that was full of faith. But as she got older, the glass got bigger, but the amount of faith going into that glass was never enough to fill it. I don't remember it very well, but –
Starting point is 01:47:23 That's the analogy she used. Like when you're little, you have a small glass that you fill with water, and it's really easy to fill it i don't remember it very well but that's the analogy she used like when you're little you have you have a small glass that you fill with water and it's really easy to fill you only need a little bit yeah but as you get older and your glass it becomes bigger you need more and more to give you that feeling that's what it's like when so like to go back to the youtubers thing if every day a youtuber's views isn't a little bit better, they feel bad. Like, oh no, I need to do better every day. It's impossible. They don't get that dopamine kick.
Starting point is 01:47:49 Yup. So people are going on these dopamine retreats where they're like, they don't have... Detoxing. Detoxing from dopamine and then when they come out of it, it's like everything's amazing again.
Starting point is 01:47:59 It's like... Yeah. It's almost like if you don't... You just drop acid and... Unlock that third eye. No, no, no. No kids. No, don't do that. We're a family show. Don't do like if you don't. You just drop acid and unlock that third eye. No, kids. No, don't do that. We're a family show.
Starting point is 01:48:07 Don't do that. None of that. I'm just talking about. It's also like fasting. Like if you don't eat for a day, the next day everything tastes better. Yeah. It's true. It's like you got to relax, man.
Starting point is 01:48:19 That's true. These people couldn't let it go. They couldn't take one quarantine to do nothing. They had to be like, but we must be the center of attention. Let's all sing the Beatles. And everyone's making fun of them for it. Good. You should be made fun of. You're weird people. Well, they're getting their attention, aren't they?
Starting point is 01:48:32 I mean, we are too. So, I mean, who am I to speak, right? We have a show. Whatever. Yeah, that's true. We've got 9,000 people hanging out with us right now. Yeah. My dopamine is through the roof. No, but admittedly, like, we had 11,000 yesterday and the day before. Yeah, that's great.
Starting point is 01:48:46 We have 9,000 today. I don't care. Yeah, right. Like, I'm glad everyone's here. Yeah, exactly. If people wanted to leave, I'd be like, well, you know, can't win them all, right? Maybe more tomorrow. Grow up.
Starting point is 01:48:55 Do your best. Carry on. And don't be a whiny little baby because you have to quarantine yourself. Right. Anyway, let's get to the Super Chats. All right. After we complained about celebrities while we're on a show with 9 000 concurrent viewers all right let's see where we are i knew the comments would would
Starting point is 01:49:10 flush a wash with uh comments about that about what that we're like on a show no what i just said earlier anyway i continue which one wait what no no i'm not gonna repeat it you told me like now we're a family show no that's that's right. We're not dropping anything. No dropping stuff. Do not drop things. Have you ever done DMT? I haven't, no. That's crazy. All right, Joe.
Starting point is 01:49:30 But I would. Joe's awesome. Just saying. That's crazy. I would. All right, where are we at? That gamer says, my mom was making fun of me because I was prepped for a zombie apocalypse. And who is laughing now with me having enough MREs to last me only three weeks?
Starting point is 01:49:46 Boom. The Last Chicken Nugget says, Looked up Adam's modeling pics and zam, zaddy. That's right. You are soy chad. Chatham. That's what they're saying. Thanks.
Starting point is 01:49:56 I'm blushing a little bit. No, I'm just kidding. Kevin Ferguson says, I can't stop looking at the cable now. Thanks. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Yeah, great. I guess I'll have to do that. The Grizzly says, Can't't stop looking at the cable now. Thanks. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Yeah, great.
Starting point is 01:50:06 I guess I'll have to do that. The Grizzly says, can't go to work. Luckily, already have guns, ammo, and the new Doom game that just got delivered by Amazon. Stay safe out there. Excellent. It's good. Dan says, here in Washington State, the system is so backed up. I have symptoms and can't get through to get tested. The actual infected must be
Starting point is 01:50:21 much higher. It's true. Ed Caron says, I work loss prevention at Whole Foods, security at a trucking yard, and my dad is in CFD. Would love the opportunity to talk to you all about what we see. Oh, that would be interesting. Yeah, it would. Keith Wagner says, how can I become a member? I don't see the option. If you don't see the option, go to youtube.com slash timcast IRL slash join.
Starting point is 01:50:42 Yep. Box pops up. Click the button. Five bucks a month. You get access to the show. You've got to go to the community section of the YouTube channel. We post it there every day. YouTube is broken.
Starting point is 01:50:53 There's a lot wrong with their system. But, hey, that's how it works for now. But we will have the show up on iTunes soon. We just have to be approved by iTunes. And, I don't know, that's why we keep things family friendly. Yeah, that'd be good. Although, surprisingly, iTunes does allow, like, really nasty stuff. Ooh.
Starting point is 01:51:08 Oh, then we'll be fine. Yeah, we're fine. We're fine. We're totally being acceptable. We're fine. People can handle it. We're grown-ups, sort of. Also, don't forget to click the Like button, I guess.
Starting point is 01:51:16 We should say that earlier on, if it matters. Apparently it matters. We did one time. Yeah. We did. Joe Dutchman says, Did you see Trump BTFO Peter Alexander? He tried to create a fear narrative
Starting point is 01:51:26 and when Trump called him out, he backpedaled The leftist media has cut out the context to make Trump look bad. No, I was watching it and I was shocked that Trump went there because the guy just straight up asked Did you see what the guy asked him before? Yeah, I was watching it Oh, like the previous, earlier on? Yeah No, I must have missed that question. Exactly. The same guy
Starting point is 01:51:42 What did he say? That's what he's saying. Oh, okay So the guy basically starts insulting Trump. And then once it comes back to him, he says, what would you say to Americans? And then Trump finally just says, you're awful. Yeah. Because the guy was trying to create a fear narrative saying, he was saying things to Trump like, why are you trying to give people hope? Why are, you know, things like that.
Starting point is 01:51:59 Yeah, yeah, that's right. And so Trump is like, what? And so CNN wrote an article saying something like. False narrative of hope. No, it said, yeah, Trump offers unsubstantiated hope to America. It's like, what? He's the president. That's his job.
Starting point is 01:52:13 What is he supposed to do? That's his job. Right. Imagine this. Trump comes out and goes, ladies and gentlemen, it's over. America's done. Give up. There's no hope.
Starting point is 01:52:22 There's no hope. What? So that's why he called them out. Okay, okay. See, that does make a lot more sense. And what happens is they only take the one snippet. Yep. Dude, it was months of CNN and MSNBC saying the China virus, the China virus, the China virus.
Starting point is 01:52:38 Trump watches this and then says, so the China virus. And they go, ha, got you, you racist. Well, it was like five five or ten minutes later another reporter said look following up to his question what would you say to that and he's like you know what i'm just gonna explain we've been through this talking about the other reporter like if this isn't just this question yeah he's a bad reporter because of he's constantly trying to that's what they do so he did he did kind of like explain it. And just like, anyway, next.
Starting point is 01:53:11 You had a reporter from One American News basically lob a softball at Trump. I didn't like that either. And so I'm critical of it. But Jim Acosta from CNN did it all the time. And then he wrote a book and tried to sell it. And it tanked or something. I don't know. That dude is the worst. How are you going to tell me you're now mad at One American News for lobbing a softball
Starting point is 01:53:27 at Trump, allowing him to opine, and you opining in the question, when you literally let Jim Acosta stand up and take the mic and just, you know what, man? I'm not here to play these games. If you can't call out people like him, don't expect me to be shocked when someone else does it. And then you want me on your side? I'm not playing these games, dude. I can't stand these people. it's all double standards steven says on topic of
Starting point is 01:53:48 time i think time is relative even though we can record time down to nanoseconds how can we prove that the passage of time is always a constant between second to second just a thought that's cool we can't it's cool if we if we if we perceive time as a constant but time isn't a constant constant and we're our perception is locked it, then perhaps something outside of time can see us. So I guess the easiest way to explain it is the distance between each second could be variable. But because we experience time as a constant, like we're falling, we just see it as a constant. Yeah, it would just be as what we see. But anyone outside of it could see there were gaps or stretches,
Starting point is 01:54:28 and to us it would be ghosts. Ghosts. Yeah. Interdimensional beings. Oh, maybe. Let's read some more. Asher says, The kids that were coughing on the food should be treated like they had guns pulled out.
Starting point is 01:54:39 Whoa. Well, something should happen. Yeah. Maddie Lee Chambers says, New video just posted of youth immigrants in England spitting and coughing in the faces of older folks and laughing about it. Oh, man. These people.
Starting point is 01:54:50 I don't get it. Gigi Evans says, Bill Burr, look, 85% population has got to go. We cannot sustain this. Coronavirus way ahead of you, buddy. Yeah. Be careful what you wish for. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:02 Drunk Shovel says, Whack your kids. It worked for me. Don't want to get hit. Stop messing up. Worked for me. Don't want to get hit? Stop messing up. Worked for me. I never got hit. There's a big difference between beating your kid and giving him a bop.
Starting point is 01:55:11 I'm not saying cause pain, but there's got to be some way. More of a like, pay attention to me. This is important. Right. Yeah. Don't get out of line. My parents were really structured about it. We would go to their room.
Starting point is 01:55:24 It was like a little procedure. You were getting spanked. You were in trouble. You could sit in mom and dad's room until mom was ready to come talk to you. And that was how that worked. It wasn't like out of anger. It was never out of anger. You know what I'm going to do?
Starting point is 01:55:36 I think that's the key. Yeah. You know what I'm going to do? That's the difference. And afterwards they're like, we love you. Because when it's in anger, you're beating your kids. Exactly. That's messed up.
Starting point is 01:55:43 But if it's not in anger. Exactly. That is discipline. You need to understand you did something wrong. Right. And this is how you're going to get disciplined. It's not in anger. I'm going to hold trials. Oh, yeah?
Starting point is 01:55:53 Yeah. That's pretty cool. I like it. I will be on the jury if you need me. I will be the judge. Yep. You need to know. And we'll have a jury.
Starting point is 01:55:58 And I'll be the prosecutor. Cool. Well, should I be the judge? I don't know. The point is, the kid's going to be like, you know, brother, hit brother hit me and i'll be like that's a serious charge that is a serious let's convene a grand jury well this is for simple assault i think we'll we'll issue the arrest and then we'll we'll ask for evidence and we'll say can you prove beyond a reasonable doubt he did it and then when he's got like the marks on his face whatever i'll say you know present your
Starting point is 01:56:24 defense you're innocent until proven guilty. And we'll go through the motions. And then we'll issue a verdict. You are hereby grounded and fined $5 from your allowance. Yeah. Ooh. Yeah. That's good.
Starting point is 01:56:33 But you know why I like this? I mean, I'm joking, right? But in reality, if slash when I have kids, they're going to – their chores will earn cash. They'll get paid a wage. We'll track their hours. We'll track the job they do. I'll negotiate with them on how much they should get. That's great.
Starting point is 01:56:47 They should learn how the world works. Yeah, I had to negotiate for my allowance. Really? Oh, yeah, I did. I had to remind my dad every week. I was the only kid who did it. I got no allowance. I was just told to do the trash.
Starting point is 01:56:56 I got an allowance like twice in my life. It wasn't until I was like 15. Actually, you know what? It's pretty sexist. I was just told to do the trash, and my sisters got to do the dishes. I was the garbage man. I would way rather have done the trash. I hate the dishes. Dishes was the worst. When the dishes came up, you were like,
Starting point is 01:57:14 no! Well, I mean, if you do the dishes right after the food is prepared, it's easy to do. I had five siblings and two parents and me. So I did not want to do the dishes because there were a lot of freaking dishes. Well, you'd have to do it by yourself. Usually, yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:28 No, they would do it together. It was two of them. Oh, yeah. No, that's not fair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. One wash, one rise. It was disproportionate. And I did the garbage by myself.
Starting point is 01:57:35 Boo. Garbage is easy, man. And I didn't get paid for it. I know, right? All right, let's jump back in. Southink says, elites are in their bunkers. So many CEOs stepped down. Celebrities quitting their gigs.

Starting point is 01:58:20 Oh, man, it just jumped on us. Why you gotta do that? Oh, we're getting slammed. We love you guys. Thank you for to do that? Oh, we're getting slammed. We're getting slammed. We love you guys. Thank you for checking in. Where are we at? I love reading people's thoughts.
Starting point is 01:58:29 There we go. A little creepy. Yeah. A little bit. It's all good. Sorry for breathing so heavy into the mic. Just keep laughing. Zishi says, CA has gone completely locked down.
Starting point is 01:58:38 LOL. Good job, CA. Yep, the whole state. James says, keep up the good work. Appreciate it. Join my cult, says Tim. Thank you for keeping us informed. I got married today in quarantine. Say hi to my new wife, Megan. Hi, keep up the good work. Appreciate it. Join my cult, says Tim. Thank you for keeping us informed. I got married today in quarantine.
Starting point is 01:58:47 Say hi to my new wife, Megan. Hi, Megan. Hey, Megan. Hey. What's up? You'll have a story to tell. Yeah. So you can tell your kids, we got married under a quarantine in the great pandemic of
Starting point is 01:58:56 2020. Congratulations, by the way. Yeah. Ethan Johansson says, don't give them extra attention by complaining about them. They're bored, so decided to sing. You know how bored I get in the winter after castle are fed? Cattle are fed. After cattle are fed.
Starting point is 01:59:11 Benjamin says check out The Death of the Grown-Up. How America's Arrested Development is Bringing Down Western Civilization by Diana West. Interesting. Political Podhead says Imagine is about no borders, no nations, no religion. Yep. Fire Medic. Thanks for becoming a member.
Starting point is 01:59:25 Thanks. Wolfault DeLeon says, have you looked at Q yet? I have not because there was something I read recently that someone posted on Facebook that was so absolutely wrong. Oh, that too. And it didn't come true. It was like a week ago. There were like a bunch of arrests that had been made. Like none of it happened.
Starting point is 01:59:44 So I'm just like, I don't know, man, I'm not going to, I'm not interested. Scott Judd says, Dear Tim, why do you keep calling that NY politician saying the virus could last 18 months? He's a lefty, not a scientist. Why should we listen to him? I'm not talking about the NY politician. Who said it? There was a story that said U.S. government documents show a plan for 18 months.
Starting point is 02:00:03 Then there was another study put out, which was part of a story from MIT's technology review saying, because of the wave effect, because it's novel, we could be under lockdown for 18 months. Then there was someone else who mentioned a vaccine could take 18 months. The 18-month thing has appeared numerous times from different sources. Yeah, I've seen it in multiple different
Starting point is 02:00:20 places. Bdub says, Lydia, did you hear about the girl who licked women's toilet seats? She said it's a virus challenge and said if symptoms are being hot and popular, I'm ill. Oh my that is consistent with everything I know about the generation. Did she actually say that? I guess. I would believe it. Remember
Starting point is 02:00:35 that Rudy Gobert dude? Yeah. He's like, I'm going to touch everything and he got everyone sick. Yeah. Well, he got some people sick, apologized for it. So good on him for doing that, but come on, man. First saying, sorry, yeah. Darth Gary says, did you see Utah had a 5.7 earthquake? We did. Crazy. Chritian says, imagine all the
Starting point is 02:00:52 celebrities working in the Amazon warehouse. Actually, that would be a funny sitcom. Yeah, make them do some real hard work. Post Talk says, Tim, on principle, should we legalize all drugs and prostitution? Isn't that in line with our small government principles as a conservative? I think so. Yes.
Starting point is 02:01:06 I agree. I think people should be allowed to put whatever they want in their bodies. There is a line for sure. Well, they did that in Europe, and they have places that you can go and both do it and get help. Reduce the spread of diseases. Boom. Exactly. Stop overdosing. Yeah, exactly.uce the spread of diseases. Boom. Exactly. Stop overdosing.
Starting point is 02:01:25 Yeah, exactly. And actually help people quit. Yeah. Make taxes for government services that can help fund these programs. Yeah. But more importantly, if people want to do it,
Starting point is 02:01:32 like, it's weird to me that you can't eat a plant. Yeah. It's like, if you eat that, you're going to jail. I'm like, but it's growing under this cow poop, sir. I don't care.
Starting point is 02:01:42 You will be arrested. Do not eat that cow poop. No, for real. It's a weird thing to me. So I think the bigger issue is whether you give to kids and encourage children and try and hurt children.
Starting point is 02:01:52 Yeah, yeah, that's messed up. So there was like a funny thing where there was like libertarians debating whether or not they should be allowed to sell heroin to kids. And I'm like, that's going to be a hard no from me.
Starting point is 02:01:59 I'm going to go with no. Not a libertarian. But I think if... I first smoked when I was 15, pot. And I wish I didn't because I found out later on in life that the brain doesn't finish fully forming until you're like 23 or something. Between 24 and 28? It varies. 24 and 28.
Starting point is 02:02:16 Right. So, I mean, I don't know if I'm affected. I don't know if – I mean, I love who I am. Yeah, exactly. It explains everything. It explains it. Yeah, exactly. It explains everything. That explains it. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:02:27 But, I mean, I'm going to talk to my kids about it. You know, I'm going to tell them about these things and let them decide on their own. I'm not going to give it to them. Yeah, I think the bigger issue is do you teach your kids how to be successful, what to fight and strive for, and what to do with their life. Because without purpose, without guidance from good parents, then the only thing they need is dopamine. And so they'll land on the floor. And they get that from coughing on vegetables and taking videos
Starting point is 02:02:54 of it. Exactly. What's your mission, man? To get famous. So I was greatly inspired by action movies and superheroes. That's literally it. Everyone wants to be famous. No, no. It's not about being famous. It is. It's different.
Starting point is 02:03:07 They want fame. No, no, no. I don't think so. Some people do. I think so. But my motivations when I was growing up, I saw how much everyone appreciated Superman or Spider-Man or other heroes. Right.
Starting point is 02:03:20 I grew up watching a lot of anime. Okay. And a lot of these stories like Dragon Ball Z, for instance, is about sacrifice for the greater good to protect those you love and care about. Okay. So my motivations growing up was always about, like, you want to be the hero. That's what people want of you. Okay. If you don't instill values like that in your kids, your kids won't have them.
Starting point is 02:03:38 And they'll grow up thinking, like, all I want is for people to know my name. And they'll start coughing on vegetables. Mm-hmm. And spitting in people's faces. Or shooting up their school. These kids need to grow up with some good Dragon Ball Z. I'm telling you what. See, when I was a kid and I learned the great story of – I'm half kidding.
Starting point is 02:03:52 No, but I think the other thing too is skateboarding for sure because there were a lot of – skateboarding has a lot of loose mentors. When you go and skate, you'll meet a lot of people who are slightly older who will give you advice, will tell you things. And it's like semi-passively. Yeah. But it's a very kind of like tribal thing where you are just in this community and people share ideas. And the older people will explain to you like, oh, no, don't do that because this will happen. And you're like, oh, I didn't know that. And these are people that you're more likely to trust as members of your community.
Starting point is 02:04:20 But, yeah, you get a bunch of kids without leadership and they're going to go nuts. Yep. Drew Baca says, I'd rather have 9,000 quality fans than a million NPCs. I think it's rad y'all skate and make music. Does your co-host have any music on Spotify? No, but you can go to my YouTube page. It's actually quite old. Or actually, you know what?
Starting point is 02:04:38 Go to my Instagram. That's me right there. And I just posted one of my newer songs called Melancholy Hellhound. I actually played it on this 12-string. So for those who are like, the 12-string needs attention, I actually play it in that video. You can check it out. And we are actually setting up all the recording stuff, not just for music, for general voiceover or sound booth recording, but we're going to do a bunch of music too.
Starting point is 02:04:59 Yeah. Patrick Quenneville says, got here late. Google hydroxychloroquine, please. Lydia. We actually had a story we didn't get to, but actually I'll just pull it up right now. We're going to go a little bit longer because I do think it's important to show you guys.
Starting point is 02:05:12 French study finds anti-malarial and antibiotic combo could reduce COVID-19 duration. So this is the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. So this is an antibiotic. My understanding is it's fairly common. When you combine it, somehow it works. Don't ask me. Don't know. But in this study,
Starting point is 02:05:30 we can see that the amount of people who were infected dropped dramatically when they were on this for only a few days. That's a huge drop. Huge drop. Dope. So that would be huge. That would be huge. So, you know, check it out. Well, that's really promising. All right. We are getting absolutely inundated with super chats, and we're trying to sign off here, guys know, check it out. Well, that's really promising. All right.
Starting point is 02:05:45 We are getting absolutely inundated with super chats, and we're trying to sign off here, guys. Love you guys. Let's go. No, let's do it. Let's do it. Victor GT says, military is more to contain potential rioting. If we get to that point, you know, the National Guard maybe. Angry Bellspout says, why do you think Western media refuses to acknowledge the existence of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization?
Starting point is 02:06:05 Not familiar with what that is. I don't know. RC Nation, thanks for becoming a member. Willie says, time flow changes based on time flow changes based on proximity to gravity wells. Yes, we just watched the Orville episode where they went inside the black hole which kind of makes no sense, but they did it. So, you know, whatever. It's sci-fi. Well, they have quantum drives.
Starting point is 02:06:21 So that explains everything. There you go. Steven Suarez says, how bad do things have to get before I have to off-soy-jesus money to undress? Oh, offer. What? Off-soy-jesus money to undress. I don't know. Not that bad.
Starting point is 02:06:34 Actually, it was never that bad. I mean, if you really want, you can go way back in my career. And I did Abercrombie & Fitch. They used to do, like, this magazine that was that was like the quarterly, I think it was called. And we didn't wear any clothes. And actually, it was me, Malin Ackerman, and Jamie Dornan. We were together for nine days. And we were basically like a couple.
Starting point is 02:06:59 Couple, I said. Or a trupple. Trupple, I guess it was. In the shoot? That's pretty cool. Yeah, in the shoot. Not in real life, no. And yeah. B- shoe? Yeah, in the shoe. Not in real life. And yeah.
Starting point is 02:07:09 B-dub says Lydia spanked. I was naked. That was the point I was getting to. I mean you don't see anything but it's pretty funny. Good chat. B-dub says Lydia spanked. Confirmed. Yep. Joshua Zell says check out Andrew Schultz when you have a spare minute.
Starting point is 02:07:26 He's an amazing comedian, and I guarantee he will make you and the team fall out of your seats laughing. He made me find humor in life again. Cool. Aw. The Domestic Engineer says, like China Uncensored says, call it the CCP coronavirus. I agree. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:07:38 Call it the CCP. Be well, guys. The Xi Jinping Plague. The Jinping Plague. Jinping Plague. Ooh. I can't even say it. Some people are calling it The Xi Jinping Plague. The Jinping Plague. Jinping Plague. Some people are calling it the Xi Jinping Plague. Every three days it's got a new name. Yeah, that's a good one.
Starting point is 02:07:52 That one needs to stick. CCP virus is what I've been calling it. Yeah, me too. CCP. Brandon Lynn says, Tim, I'm a veteran of the U.S. Marines, and my grandmother is very upset that Donald Trump keeps saying Chinese virus. China can't be trusted. She's upset that he's saying it.
Starting point is 02:08:07 Elizabeth, did you just swear on the family show? I don't know what you're talking about. Elizabeth Cyrus says, I pay my kids allowance that way, that way. But I make him pay taxes by putting 25% into his savings. He can take loans out on it with an additional 10% interest. It's working great. I dig it. Oh, man, where are we at now? James says, why the freak out over coronavirus when the flu kills
Starting point is 02:08:29 646,000 worldwide yearly? And in 2017, 2.56 million died of pneumonia worldwide. Well, let me explain it very simply because in the United States, that doesn't happen for the most part. Though we do experience a lot of deaths from flu, the complication rate is extremely low, about less than a percent. The death rate for flu is actually 0.1%. And I've had to read all of the stuff over and over again. It's why I know it. So what ends up happening is just like in 1918 with the Spanish flu, it's novel, meaning there is no immunity to it. So everyone will get it. Whereas with the flu, we have bad flu seasons that go all year round, but typically spike in at the end of summer into the winter. So starting the tracking around October, we do see a lot of people getting the flu. However, because there are limited
Starting point is 02:09:08 complications, people typically just stay home and deal with it, though some people die. Right now, a lot of people are comparing the coronavirus to diseases outside of the US, like tuberculosis and the flu and pneumonia, which of course in third world countries are killing a lot of people. The scary thing is that in Italy, 675 people died in one day, and the day before that was 475. So we are seeing a lot of people exponentially getting sick and dying faster and faster. And if we do nothing, in one year, we'll look back and say, wow, this really was a lot worse than the flu. If only we did something sooner. And the problem is humans are cursed with this poor hindsight to where if we actually stop the virus, guess what happens? We then say, it didn't even happen.
Starting point is 02:09:47 Who cares? That's the coronavirus. Take a deep breath. That was intense. There you go. Man, you nailed it, though. Yeah, man. Killed it.
Starting point is 02:09:54 I'm so happy I didn't have to say any of that. So, look, I saw, you know, we did the thing about tuberculosis. It's like, but a million people died last year of tuberculosis. Yeah, we had 9,000 tuberculosis cases in the u.s in uh in 2018 the coronavirus is already over what do we have now in the u.s 16 000 or something in the u.s i want to say 16 000 that does sound right it's exponentially increasing what people don't understand yeah we're so let's see. As of the 20th, we're just shy. We're at 14,000-something. What people don't understand is that it's a novel virus.
Starting point is 02:10:31 It means new. Everyone will get it. Not everyone will die, but the mortality rate is between 1% and 3%. We have no immunity. Globally, it's 3.7%, and the Spanish flu was 2.5% mortality. The Spanish flu was novel, so almost everyone ended up getting it, and it killed a ton of people. So the issue is, it's crazy that right now people are saying
Starting point is 02:10:52 it hasn't killed that many people yet. Why should we be worried about it? It's like, okay, should we wait until a million are dead and then start worrying about it? Because then you can't contain it at all. But actually, you brought up an interesting point earlier. Old people are the most likely to die, so of course the old people in government are the ones panicking about it. Exactly. But actually, you brought up an interesting point earlier. Old people are the most likely to die. So, of course, the old people in government are the ones panicking about it.
Starting point is 02:11:08 Exactly. But there we go. Eggman, thanks for coming to member. Thank you. The Unrefined says, unban anime. Yes. Post Talk says, Goku or Vegeta. I can't pick.
Starting point is 02:11:17 They both got their good and bad things about him. Goku's too dumb. Vegeta's too angry. Gerald Darden says, I told my seven-year-old son all the bad words so he knew what not to say and appreciated not getting in trouble for repeating what he had learned at school. There you go. Interesting. Nice. Drunk Shovel says, I'm a historical reenactor
Starting point is 02:11:33 and we have a lot of kinda unofficial mentors too. Helps the young guys grow up a little. That's cool. Interesting. John Doe, thanks for becoming a member. Thank you. Zappy says, you know Time Infographics put out a video about if Russia and China could invade U.S. I am not really worried about a war with either of them, but it obviously wouldn't be a good thing. Agreed. We have a gun behind every blade of grass in this country, as the saying goes. Crash said, should be allowed to do what
Starting point is 02:11:58 you want. Then I shouldn't have to pay for your medical bills for aid meds and lung transplants. I completely agree. I also agree. That's why I'm not a fan of mandated universal health care. Like, public option is fine by me, but they're basically, what Bernie is saying, within four years, you would not be legally allowed to buy private insurance. Not interested.
Starting point is 02:12:18 I'm not paying for you guys to eat donuts and ho-hos all day. Oh man, we're getting too many. Wolf-Alt DeLeon says, Have you seen Arrest Warrant for Ellen DeGeneres? Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks, Jimmy Kimmel. Think it's real? They all made weird vids on Twitter.
Starting point is 02:12:32 I don't think it's real, man. No. If it happens, we'll talk about it, but eh. Lambda says, Doom Eternal released today. Oh, we know it. I was playing earlier. I was playing last night.

Real Every Day says, LA Times is reporting LA County gives up on containing the coronavirus, tells doctors to skip testing of some patients. We pulled that one up.
Starting point is 02:13:07 We talked about it. It's crazy. Ghost L says, Paladin Chang is his YouTube channel. The OG who called said the famous don't trust China line. Ah, that's right. China is asshole. Hey, you can't say that word. I didn't say whole.
Starting point is 02:13:22 I've been told. I separated it. You said the A word. Oh, well, you know what? We're doing the meme, so it's say that word. I didn't say whole. I've been told. I separated it. You said the A word. Well, you know what? We're doing the meme, so it's okay this time. That was me. Too many to go. So we have to not put the explicit thing on iTunes. We have to flag the video. I'm for real. Great. We'll go in and bleep
Starting point is 02:13:35 it. All right. All you on that live stream, you get the uncensored. We'll fix it in post. No, we're doing super chats. It's not going to be in a clip. It's fine. There you go. Brandon Lynn says, She is mad Trump keeps calling a China virus and doesn't realize how bad China is. And I'm a veteran, and China is bad. China is real bad.
Starting point is 02:13:52 Eggman says, why is Greta Thunberg so quiet about this now? You would think she would be happy with how much pollution is being cut down across the world. I mean, that was her solution. It is interesting that she's not in the spotlight anymore. I have nothing to say about that i did see one post from her yesterday saying like if you agree with me make a sign and do a post and whatever and it's like the only thing in the past few weeks katherine scully says in this time of
Starting point is 02:14:17 crisis we need to come together metaphorically speaking of course remember to social distance absolutely yeah uh let's see, thanks for the super chat. Sheila says, hey, all. I'm a trucker and a conservative driving and listening. I enjoy the different perspectives. Keep up the good work. Appreciate it. Thank you.
Starting point is 02:14:35 Angry Bellsprout says, SEO basically Asian NATO. Economic block. Look it up. Oh, yes. Will do. Eldarth says, Jen sirs cough on me, and I'm pressing attempted murder charges. Yeah. Chet Chisholm says as a kid I was inspired
Starting point is 02:14:48 by the Ghostbusters and my grandfather who served in the RCAF during World War II. I knew I wanted to go help people since I was a kid so I chose to become a paramedic.
Starting point is 02:14:56 Cool. Awesome choice. Nice. Nice. That's cool people. Well. Well I'm going to go play Doom Eternal.
Starting point is 02:15:01 We're going to wrap this up so here's what you do. You follow that. You follow that. Follow me. Yeah, Tim got it. Our at Timcast and at Adam Krigler, Twitter, Instagram, whatever. Follow us.
Starting point is 02:15:09 Follow us. Tweet at Adam. Suggestions or whatever other nonsense. Yep. You know. Or send me a message on Instagram. That works too. There you go.
Starting point is 02:15:18 I might not respond, but I'll see it. I try to look through and catch anything good. And if you want to join, become members of the show to help support the show, there's a join button just below this video.

Starting point is 02:15:36 is kind of bad at what they do and the whole system is janky and broken. But hey, what are you going to do about it? That's how it works. And then we actually don't have, so this is funny, whenever I post the video to members, YouTube reminds me that there's literally no way to notify members that you've made the post. So we go to the community section, which is basically like the feed section, the news feed of this channel. And we post it every morning. It is free if you watch live and the unlisted feed will be available until about 8am.
Starting point is 02:16:04 You can get that link if you subscribe and hit the notification bell. With that being said, I'm going to grab these last two Super Chats and we're going to sign off. Bart says, no, but you compare Italy that is like one state with a country that is like whole Europe. Some of those models are like high school naive.
Starting point is 02:16:20 Yeah, we were talking about that. We talked about that. The comparison doesn't make sense. A lot of the countries in Europe are very dense relative to the states in the United States. True, but they're also very tiny. But they're relatively small. Yeah, very small. And a lot of people, I've met a lot of people in Europe who do the same thing in the other direction,
