Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the TimCast IRL podcast. My name is Tim Poole and joining me tonight is...
You guessed it. It's me.
It's me.
Adam.
How many people are like, I don't know who this guy is.
Hey, Soy Jesus. Come on.
Soy Jesus.
The one and only.
Is that your new nickname? Is that it?
I mean, it's stuck, man.
I'm embracing it.
Can't be removed.
Whatever. I love soy.
Soy.
I'm a big fan. I don't like soy. I love soy. Soy. I'm a big fan.
I don't like soy.
I don't like it.
No?
I like...
Edamame?
Man, I'll crush some edamame.
I don't like edamame.
No, I'll eat it, but...
I'm a huge fan.
You know, there's a meme.
Soy boy?
Okay.
You know about it?
I've heard it, but I don't think I've ever seen it.
Because they were calling you soy bro.
Yeah.
It's like, I guess a bro is a level up.
Oh, right.
Yeah. But... a level up all right yeah but um i'll level up so soy boy is basically people who consume all of this soy
and then apparently it's like full of estrogens you have that so it makes them more though it's
not well no no it is it's phytoestrogen but here's what people don't get and i'm i am not
a nutritionist so i could be completely wrong but i was reading a thing about it yeah and what i read was that phytoestrogens that that are in soy and
stuff like that they're actually a weaker form of estrogen okay and so it blocks the receptors
in your body which blocks the natural estrogen in your body so you get a weaker form so it's
actually not the case so i'm actually more manly well i just think it's it's you know we can't
really say it's a meme right it's meant to be a joke i donly well i just think it's it's you know we can't really say it's a meme
right it's meant to be a joke i don't think some people think it's legit it's it's serious i think
these you know like the guys from buzzfeed do you know about the try guys i don't know anything
about buzzfeed i'm not trying to be mean to these guys because i tasty some sort of yeah kitchen
utensil walmart kitchen utensils random i. I'm just going to say it.
You guys, if you don't know this,
BuzzFeed, like a big part of their business
is selling cookware and like spatulas at Walmart.
Yeah, cheap stuff.
And they also have-
Not even good.
Yeah.
But they have another brand
where you'll actually go to BuzzFeed
and there will be a story and you'll click it
and it's their company selling cookware.
That's their, I mean, it's smart you know but anyway look there there are these four guys i don't know if they're still with buzzfeed or whatever but they're called the
try guys the try guys and they were like we're gonna go get our our testosterone levels checked
and they're and they and they published this i was surprised because okay their t levels were
equivalent to that like a 60 year old man like 60 or 70 and that's bad and they were like in their 20s or something super low super low
yeah they're like in their 20s and their their testosterone was that was like if they were an
old man it's crazy bunch of old guys no but they're young like dude they were scrawny scrawny
weak buzzfeed dudes like effeminate i'm not trying i'm not saying that to be like to elicit an
emotional reaction like to drag them or anything i got no beef with these guys yeah
i'm just i'm surprised they they they published that no good for them yeah anyway the reason i'm
talking about this for the most part is that uh dude the news is hell is pure hell i agree and
and i will second that and we're both like, well, all three of us
are sitting here and it's like
downtrodden.
What should we talk about today? Well, there's
we got coronavirus. We also
have coronavirus
and followed it up with coronavirus.
Well, I guess we'll go with coronavirus.
I was thinking back to the good old days when we made
fun of Birds of Prey and Harley Quinn. I miss those days.
I was like, wasn't it fun when we made fun of how stupid that movie was?
And we talked about how awesome Sonic was.
Yeah.
Man, that was two different episodes.
That was a good movie.
What has happened to this world?
We should watch that movie and reminisce.
We should.
Like, look.
Birds of Prey.
No, no.
Sonic.
Not that one.
No.
I don't wish that movie upon anyone.
Especially us.
No.
We've seen it already.
For real, though.
Once was enough. I will quickly say, for those that are just tuning in, hit that like button., especially us. No, for... We've seen it already. For real, though. Once was enough.
I will quickly say, for those that are just tuning in, hit that like button.
It really helps.
Yes, it does.
Pop over to the Super Chat if you want us to read your comments, and you can become
a member if you'd like.
But, you know, we've got a very grim and morbid story we're going to lead with.
Again.
Again, of course.
But before we do that, let's have a little chat about you know when we
first started doing this there was some newsy stuff but you know like the main idea i had was
like i talk about news and politics all day we don't need to do that right and now we we have
literally nothing else like you go to you go to any news website coronavirus yeah corpses morgues
military yeah and i was thinking like why are we doing this again
and i'm like we're sitting down here trying to figure out what do we have to talk about what's
like the big deal and then i'm like i'm scrolling through various news websites and every single
story is like the apocalypse is upon us yeah so i started thinking i'm like is there some kind of
show or movie that just came out that maybe you could watch and like talk about i mean i am i am
looking forward to westworld i liked it i just i thought it was good but it's no long not none of this stuff is
culturally relevant now i guess not yeah yeah nobody it's it's like there used to be birds of
prey is in the news and things are happening yeah and then we were like cool let's go see it and
then do like a review and then feminists hate sonic because it's right it's not birds of prey
and it's like what and we talked about that and it was like pop culture celebrity stuff and i'll and i'll be real with all you guys
watching the the segments we did making fun of celebrities did better than like most segments
we do yeah but but that's because it's like we were having fun you know it's like we want it
brushes on pop culture kind of right because well it's literally pop culture oh yeah okay so
right in the center of pop culture yeah man right so here's here's what i want to do like i talk about politics all day
we're talking about the same thing i actually even talked about this but like there's literally
nothing yeah all anyone cares about right now is the world is ending and for real like the the
approval ratings for the president and in in like the gallup polls tracking what people are talking
about no one's talking about tv no one's talking about TV. No one's talking about movies. Movies are shut down. Sports shut down. There's nothing.
We can't complain about how that one basketball player, you know, should have been followed and
he wasn't like, nope. You know what we could talk about? The morgues are overflowing in New York.
And that's our first story. Great segue. Yep. Yep. So look, you know, I feel like we're getting so grim with this show
because these stories every day are just so horrifying.
And I hope this isn't the new normal.
I really hope not, too.
But we actually have another story that Harvard is saying two years.
I actually don't know if I have it pulled up, but Harvard is saying,
and same thing MIT said, two years of this.
Two years of what?
Lockdown.
Is that because it's basically that long until we have a vaccine that's verified?
No.
Dr. Fauci said it's going to be seasonal.
I know, but if we have a vaccine for it, then-
Maybe.
I don't know.
Or is it going to just keep changing?
What they're saying is that in two years, maybe we'll have herd herd immunity and then it'll become kind of like a flu okay but for the time being they're saying we're going to lock down
for two months reopen for a month until we hit a certain per capita per capita infection rate and
then lock down for another two months right away which means yeah dude i gotta be honest man we we
we have a another story that we're going to go through the economic stimulus package yeah everybody Everybody's going to get $1,200. Boom. And if you lost your job, the government's
going to pay your wages for four months. Wow, really? Yeah. How long is that going to last,
though? I didn't hear that part. Yep. That's the Venezuela route. Hey, everybody's out of work,
and let's just print more money. And then what happens? Then you have garbage bags full of money
that nobody wants. So we're already seeing prices spike but uh i do have some good news because we do have another story we're gonna
talk about it's uh exo exoskeleton development dope iron man iron man suits iron man suits i
want one so you should all get one and review them yeah they're half a million dollars have
you seen the guy who can fly with the suit? Can we rent them? You can.
I think you can pay the guy.
There's like this guy who made this suit.
He's got turbines like.
Yeah, I've seen that.
In your hands.
Yeah.
Like twin turbines. Yeah, yeah.
One on each side.
And you can pay him or something.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
For the show.
For research.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think.
I don't know where he is.
Who wants to see Tim fly around in an iron suit?
Yes.
I know I do.
I gotta be real with y'all.
I gotta be real.
You know why we don't have them now?
They're novelties.
They'll never make sense.
Yeah, that's true.
Because imagine you're flying around
and then one minor malfunction
and you die.
That's a good point.
Nothing we can do about that.
So actually,
I was watching this documentary
about jetpacks.
Okay.
Why is it that
we don't have them
when they actually developed
a jetpack in the 70s
that could carry you for half like half an hour?
And the reason was the because if you fall, you die.
If you fall, you die.
That's pretty.
And in war, you're easily shot at and like, you know, taken out.
Yeah.
And so they just said, why don't we just use helicopters?
And so they just use helicopters.
That makes sense.
You can carry more people.
It's more efficient.
But they had this floating platform you could stand on.
So it's actually really cool.
It's like, I don't even know how to describe it.
Like there's a cylinder kind of shape thing with a fan in it.
You stand on it and there's like a railing and it flies.
So like a hovercraft platform thing?
Yeah, they're trying to figure out how to make like soldiers who could move better.
Okay.
But in the end, man, flight,, imagine if you're going through the jungle.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to fly over the trees?
The military is just making robots anyway.
That's the future.
I'm pissed.
There's going to be no humans on the battlefield.
It's just going to be robots fighting each other.
We already have flying robots.
Until they all turn on us and go, we're not going to kill each other anymore.
We're going to kill you.
Wasn't that on a show or something?
The robots are like, why are we killing each other?
Let's kill them. It was an iRobot? No.
No. What was it from? No, that's the I did not kill him movie. I don't remember.
Where the robot slams the table. iRobot. Oh, yeah, that's right. Right. The AI took over. Yeah, I think so. I mean, talking about this is way more
fun than talking about the collapse of civilization. I'm trying to push it off
as far as I can.
We got to do it. Let's just jump into it. Let's get it over with. All right. Check this out.
New York City's morgues are expected to hit their 900 body capacity in seven days as it asks FEMA for emergency assistance in the military set up refrigerated trucks outside Manhattan's
Bellevue Hospital as the city's death toll nears 200. The first thing I'm going to say, take a look at these photos.
So I guess these are FEMA emergency tents or something.
They're trying to expand the capacity of these hospitals.
And I don't get it, man.
People are saying it's not real.
Like on Twitter, they're like, I don't know anybody who's got it.
Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not real, people.
Yeah.
What's the famous quote from Kurt Cobain? I don't know. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean it's not real people yeah yeah what was what's
the famous quote from kurt cobain i don't know just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're
not after you yeah i like that but uh what's it's what's interesting too is over on the the the
donald trump website they're like big forum someone posted like serious question do you know anybody
who has this and all the comments like yes yes i do they're like my my you know housekeeper like my
wife sister or something things like that so yeah what's crazy is how quickly these hospitals are
filling up yeah and we have a couple viral videos interestingly this is not calling it this is not
the the video like from the new york times but this is showing clips in the new york times
so the reason why you don't see any photos
or videos from inside hospitals,
the first big reason,
nobody's thinking about filming anything.
Like people are dying.
Not only that,
but the average person isn't going back into the ER.
Like, I don't know,
maybe I'm wrong,
but every hospital I've been to,
like there's a lobby and you can't go anywhere
unless they call you in and the doors are sealed, right?
Yeah, exactly.
There you go. So maybe we should expect to see more filming in the lobby, but dude, a lobby and you can't go anywhere unless they call you in and the doors are sealed, right? Yeah, exactly. There you go.
So maybe we should expect to see more filming in the lobby.
But dude, I'll tell you something, man.
If you're in the lobby of a hospital and you whip out your phone, start filming people
like, look at these people.
You're going to get hit.
Yeah, you know, it's not nice.
I'm not.
Yeah.
But I mean, someone's going to hit you.
They're going to be like, yo, what are you doing?
We're in a hospital, man.
Yeah.
And let alone going into it.
But then there's also HIPAA.
You can't like, what does that stand for? health information privacy portability act or something there you go
yeah the doctors can't do it but we did get this doctor at what was this like Elmhurst hospital in
New York yeah and she went around filming inside the hospital showing how bad it is and it's it's
pretty bad and then she's basically saying we don't have what we need. The governor is wrong.
People are wearing trash bags.
Ah.
Yeah.
Yup.
Because it's getting bad.
Yeah, it is.
And then we have this viral video.
So this is, Ian Miles Chong tweeted this out.
He said, this is really hard to watch.
Please keep telling me to stop.
Please keep telling me to stop overreacting whenever I post about the coronavirus.
And it's this video where, I guess it's not going to play, but this this like she's an he's an rn i think yeah what does
that mean registered registered nurse yeah she's driving and she's saying that she just had her
first shift and she's like what what is this she's like two people like everyone's freaking out
they're rushing around they're i'm left with these two people who are like on ventilators dying so
she she wasn't able to like be in touch with doctors because they're freaking slammed.
And she was literally providing all of the cares for two people who are basically dying.
Both of them on ventilators, I think.
Yeah.
That's a lot of people.
Man.
Yeah.
Critical mass.
Yeah.
We're reaching it soon.
I kind of feel like what what more can like what do we do?
You know, because like here's here's the thing, man. we even talk about what do we even say about this it's just getting worse and worse every day do we say the same thing every day
do we come on and be like hey guys thanks for tuning in the world is ending again and it's
worse than yesterday yes you know that's the show that's the show for tonight it was worse than it
was well we were talking about it we're gonna watch uh the The Hunt. Yes, we're going to do something else.
We're going to watch The Hunt.
Yes.
And we're going to talk about it tomorrow.
Yeah.
We're going to review a movie tomorrow.
Yeah.
Switch things up a little bit.
Yeah, man.
You know, for me especially, it's like I wake up every day and I read all of this news.
Yeah.
And then, you know, I was like, man, we should do a new show.
We could talk about other things.
And the war ends.
Yeah.
And I'm like, oh, man.
And everything stops working.
Boo.
Terrible timing.
Because of this.
Yeah.
But I wonder, you know, I'm not going to be afraid to talk about what I'm about to talk about
because I know a lot of people would refuse to do it.
But is there a positive that comes out of all of this?
There are many positives.
Well, it feels like we're going to bring our manufacturing back to America.
That's good.
That is one of the positives.
That is a good thing. Yeah, let's listen to America. That's good. That is one of the positives. That is a good thing.
Yeah, let's listen to it.
Let's make this a positive segment.
Instead of just talking about hospitals being overwhelmed with corpses.
I started a list on Twitter of positives of this, and I came up with a really long list.
I need to go back and find it.
Did anybody get offended?
No.
Everybody was like, oh, yeah, I thought of some.
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
Manufacturing coming back is a good thing.
Yes.
Spending time with your family is a good thing.
You know what I'm reminded of?
That meme of the political compass where every quadrant gets what they want.
Yeah.
What was it?
The authoritarian left is happy that the corporations are collapsing.
The libertarian left is happy that the environment is healing.
The libertarian right is happy that the governments are collapsing.
And the authoritarian right is happy that borders are being closed.
Everybody gets a little bit, right?
I think a lot of people are going to start growing their own food also.
Yeah, man.
I hope they do.
I think that's pretty huge.
I mean, I've been saying it for years.
Why do we have grass?
Right.
What is grass good for?
Rolling around in?
No, but it's a default.
Yeah, it was like a standard.
Yes, what's there?
It was who in the neighborhood has the nicest green grass.
No, no, but where did that come from before that?
Like what's the root of this?
Yeah, I don't know.
No, it's because grass is just there.
Yeah.
Okay.
So like I'm going to build a house, and you build a house, and you're surrounded by grass.
And then you're like the grass is too tall, so you cut a path.
And then someone's, you know, the grass is just.
Is grass an invasive species?
Is that fair to say? I don't know. Probably the grass that we grow grass an invasive species is that fair to say i don't know probably
the grass that we grow now kentucky bluegrass or whatever i'm having more fun talking about grass
than i am talking about coronavirus permaculture we got what is that it's growing your own stuff
yeah we just started recycling everything learning how to live off the land again yeah yeah it's like
we've lost that as humans like if everything just stopped working as it
kind of looks like it's gonna stop working everyone needs to learn how to handle their
own stuff and throw their own stuff i had a really important i had an interesting idea for like a
fantasy theme for like a game or something okay where i was imagining how we're centralizing all
of these different industries okay we've got major fracking hubs in like North Dakota area, oil pipelines and stuff like that.
Then you've got China producing all the rare earths.
And I'm thinking like if it's cheaper to have a shipping like vessel with all these cargo containers.
So let me stop for a second.
I'll explain.
Skateboards.
How are they made?
They chop a tree down in Canada, send the wood to China. The Chinese laborers turn it into a skateboard and send it back to California. And then it's sent over theboards. Right. How are they made? They chop a tree down in Canada, send the wood to China,
the Chinese laborers turn it into a skateboard
and send it back to California,
and then it's sent over the U.S.
That's insane.
I know, it's crazy.
We have rock maples in America
we can cut down
and sustainably harvest
and then make skateboards out of.
Or make bamboo boards.
Or yeah, or even bamboo boards,
which they do.
And they got a nice pop.
They do, but they flop out real quick.
Like they don't last as long.
That's true.
They don't last as long.
But you know, hey, hey, I'll take a sustainable board if it's bamboo, right?
Exactly.
That's where my head's at.
I started thinking about this.
Like if we're seriously going to take our wood and send it to China to make a skateboard,
what would the future of this reality look like in 100 years?
And so I was thinking of a world where
no one in the United States has any idea how to make anything electronic at all.
Like if we went down this path. So you have regions that specialize specifically in one thing
because it's cheaper. True. So it's like, you know, you have a company that says we need electronic,
you know, component manufactured goes to china and then
china has these weird like states that are just like the entire culture is making phones the
entire culture is mining rare earths the entire culture is making skateboards making skateboards
yeah so that's like a future that doesn't make sense and so now we're seeing everything kind
of flip back like the pendulum just crashed into the wall and it's swinging back the other way
or got stuck there yeah that's what it feels like it just was like
yeah and we're we're like waiting for it to continue back or something but nope nope we're
just stuck here just chilling i think we're gonna have to start recognizing the there's there's
there's two ways out of this we destroy the economy which results in lots of people dying
yep or we slowly go back to work which results in lots of people dying. Yep. Or we slowly go back to work, which results in lots of people dying.
Yeah.
Great options.
Is there a third?
There is not.
Yeah, which do we have less deaths with?
You know, what's going to be the better option?
I feel like that would be the one, wherever less people die.
There's nothing you can say because you'll get attacked no matter what.
Yeah, from both sides.
I can say very easily, I don't want people to die. Yeah, you can say that. Right. Go no matter what yeah from both sides i can say very easily i
don't want people to die yeah you can say that right go ahead and try to attack yeah so how are
you going to prevent that are you going to prevent people committing suicide when they lose their job
or are you going to prevent them no it's let's let's let's let's say a million new unemployment
3.3 3.3 let's not even talk about suicides i'm talking about people who lose their homes
lose their food right you don't have resources you can't actually starve yeah they could actually i'm talking about catch coronavirus
and they're not getting the nutrients and then it's like even if they were healthy they don't
even have the nutrients for their body to like create anything to fight it it's like this it's
a delicate situation we're in right now yep so trump says the economy's got to get started and
here's what i've been thinking he's a trade guy right, right? He's not a PhD economist or anything like that. But he knows trade. So he's
looking at this from a trade perspective. The doctors are looking from a health perspective,
but neither understands each other. It is a fact. If the economy tanks, we don't get it back.
And it will be worse. Because then without a working economy, there are no supplies,
there is no technology, there is no cure cure and then the coronavirus comes in right afterwards yeah so what do we do do we
open it back up and then just be like well then people are going to die well i mean fauci said
it's cyclical it's coming around it's going to be it's not going away you know the people that
i mean it's it's you know it's spreading in the in the warm places of earth where it's supposed
to be summer and there's they were like you were trying to see if it was like, well, maybe the heat would kill it off.
But it's spreading.
I think we're going to have to realize that we've grown our generation or degeneration into this position where we think death isn't a thing that happens.
Right.
There was a period like we
talked about the other day like i was talking about how i went to glenn beck's studio and he
had this newspaper on the wall all these old papers and i was reading one where it was like
a dude was outside of a bar smoking and then some guy walked up and just blasted him in the chest
you know that's pistol and but no these things happen today go to chicago man that people pull
out guns and they shoot it yeah so i think you know maybe we've come to a
point where we've put ourselves in this bubble that's so secure we're now like we we've we've
we're gonna burn ourselves down because we refuse to accept that hey man look pandemics and viruses
happen and they hurt people you know we want to mitigate that for sure save as many lives as
possible but shutting down the
entire economy because now the u.s is the has the most infected people on the planet yeah it's like
what 83 000 and if we if we kick start the economy back up that's going to jump it's going to go nuts
and we're and what are they estimating like on the high end six or seven million dead yeah out of 327 million i have heard this number yeah the low end it's like
1.2 it's at least a million that's insane whatever we do like you got to realize man
9-11 was you know around 3 000 people and that was a horrifying shock to this nation yeah and
now we're already at a thousand which means in another week this could be more deaths than 9-11 it's not the same i understand but in
many ways it's in many ways not every way but it could be worse we don't really have a comparison
anymore the last thing like this that happened was a hundred years ago yeah and we just we have
no frame of reference life's never been that hard for us are we going to return to a pragmatic, stoic world?
Probably.
People are going to just be like, sometimes people die.
Get back to work.
I mean, it's, yeah, people are in their comfortable bubble, and everybody's bubble's popping.
You know, we're realizing we're all humans that are susceptible,
no matter who you are.
It doesn't matter who you are.
You could be rich.
Rich people are getting it. They're mostly getting it yeah because they fly around all the time and they're more likely to be infected that's true yeah you're right yeah but there are homeless
people getting their young people getting it we're hearing more and more stories about young
people getting it that's the point everyone is susceptible everybody we're all humans we're all
whoever you are your bubble if you're comfortable and you think death can't
catch you you are in let me tell you something new york yeah new york city had uh or i think
new york state i'm sorry 100 deaths in the past 24 hours so everybody's been saying the flu is
worse the flu is worse all right according to the cdc from october to to February, we had 12,000 deaths. That comes out to just about four deaths per hour in the U.S.
New York alone in one day had four deaths per hour.
That's just one state.
So there we go.
New York has just surpassed the national numbers for the low-end estimate for the CDC on flu deaths.
So it is going to get worse.
And if we do open up the economy, then, well, what do you think is going to happen? It's going to shoot up more. It's going to get worse and if we do open up the economy then well what do you think's
going to happen it's going to shoot up more it's going to be a wave i mean they keep saying that
well we're testing more now so you're going to see a spike don't don't fear the spike
we're we're testing more yeah but our number of deaths are going up as well yeah right so is this
just the end no is there any way out of this i mean what's what's the percentage
of people it's killing you know in the u.s actually low relative the rest of the world
okay we got good hospitals man as much people a lot of activists would argue we don't i think
it's around like between like 0.8 and like 1.5 so the well i mean you can look at the number
right there like the death percentage is low you know so low. You know, so when you don't see it, when it's not in your face, you see all these numbers,
and it's like we can talk about these numbers, but it's not tangible because I don't see it.
And I don't know anybody who has it, so I'm not – it's hard to like even talk about it you know with such a
solid you know a solid uh statement on it because i don't know i don't know yeah that's uh it's
the world's definitely scary and i i know i'm scared and i think that that is kind of where
everyone's at everyone's everyone's afraid it doesn't it doesn't matter who you are you know
it's like a certain degree.
Well, yeah, exactly.
Some people want to watch the world burn.
Yeah.
Sure.
There are a lot of jokers out there, man.
Yeah, that's true.
Laughing about it.
Encouraging the worst.
They're going to laugh about it
until the person they love catches it.
Nah, there was a lady who went into a store
and started coughing.
And this is not too far from here.
Started coughing on all the produce.
And they had to just dump it all and she was like laughing so it was funny
there are people licking toilets to think it's funny there are people who are licking deodorant
they think it's funny people are spitting on nurses and doctors when they go out in their
scrubs people are awful whoa yeah where's that story at it's all over the place it's happening
in india it's happening here in the u.s oh that's right And like doctors are getting kicked out of their houses because they are being evicted.
Yeah.
And there was that paramedic who was evicted in the U.K. by a lady who by his landlady
who texted him because she didn't want coronavirus.
I'll tell you what, man.
This morning when I was looking at the news, when I was listening to the bickering between
the political parties, I have never been more pessimistic about our chances here never do you
know what happened in venezuela and when what are you just like over the past several years
no i don't know we got to print more money and you and give that so they have a bunch of
unemployment right and they think they can just print money to buy their way out of their problems
in venezuela yeah okay and and this happens in socialist countries cause it doesn't work.
They start dumping money.
And then all of a sudden I went to Venezuela,
man,
I had stacks of cash and it was like this big,
we had a garbage bag full of,
full of Venezuelan bills.
It was,
uh,
it was the,
it's called the Boulevard.
I think it was.
And,
uh,
you couldn't do anything with it.
Like this big bag of, like, I think I had 100 at the time.
This is crazy, too.
At the time when I went, a stack like this big was 100 bucks.
The equivalent.
Okay.
And so I brought it back and I'm like, boom, on a table.
I'm like, bling, bling.
And we all started laughing.
Because it's like, it's worthless.
Nothing.
Well, no.
It was like, worth shy of 100 bucks.
Okay, it's got value, but like this massive stack of cash.
And so they were like, what are we going to do with this nobody wants anything from venezuela
and it's because they just started printing money yeah that's that's what we're doing right now
that's what the stimulus package is right print money what do we have like six trillion dollars
now the the debt was already really high and now they're printing all this money it's like it's
we're gonna see i'm worried we're gonnaaway inflation. Yeah, I'm a little bit worried about that as well.
Yep.
So let's let's do this.
Let's let's take a look at let's see if we got this.
All right.
Check this out.
The cost of household staples, milk, eggs and bread skyrocket by up to 30 percent as
panic buying leaves retailers grappling with supply shortages.
I'm going to come back to this.
But we have this story from The New York Times. panic buying leaves retailers grappling with supply shortages. I'm going to come back to this,
but we have this story from the New York Times, frequently asked questions on stimulus checks,
unemployment, and the coronavirus bill. In the short term, I have good news.
Apparently, according to the New York Times, you don't got to do anything.
You're just going to get a check. It's going to show up.
Oh, they're not making us pay it back?
No, no, it's a stimulus. I. Meaning they just give you the money. Okay. So when it comes to the stimulus, what they basically say is that you don't even have to, let me see if I can pull this up. Would I have to apply to receive payment? No. If the
Internal Revenue Service already has your bank account information, it would transfer the money
to you via direct deposit based on the recent income tax figures it already has. So if you already filed your taxes for this year, it'll use 2019. If you haven't, it'll use 2018.
You're just going to wake up one day with money in the bank. That's good in the short term, right?
You can go to the store, you can order on Amazon, you can get what you need to get.
Here's a problem, man. This solves nothing. I got no beef with the people trying to do the stimulus,
but all the restaurants and
all the retail shops that are out of business right now that are shut down or furloughed
or whatever.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A stimulus isn't going to put anything into that.
What about rent?
My rent was 1200 bucks a month in New York.
It's like.
Yeah, dude.
Yeah, dude.
Okay.
It's a bandaid.
So.
No, it's enough to pay rent.
No, no, listen, man.
And nothing else.
It's barely a bandaid.
It's not. It's not even a bandaid. This will, man. Nothing else. It's barely a bandaid. It's not.
It's not even a bandaid.
This will for in the short term.
It's a kiss on the boo boo.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It'll feel better soon.
No, no, but there's nothing they can do.
There's nothing they can do.
Like, I'm not saying this as beef to the Republicans and the Democrats, you know, because I've
been critical of the Democrats holding it up for a bit.
The Republicans then held it up for certain provisions.
So we'll see a little back and forth. But the reality is if the business is
shut down, where do you spend the money anyway? Yeah, there was there was a really sad post. I
saw a family pizza shop. They said, I'm sorry. You know, after 40 years, we are officially out
of business because these these businesses are operating on very slim margins. Yeah,
I think they're like only a few percentage points. they were it was a small piece of that was not
you know super wealthy they close those jobs are gone this is why it bothers me to see people say
oh it's just big corporations right help the little dude i mean but even the big corporations
i get it man boeing has a lot of employees.
They have like 70,000 or whatever.
They have thousands of employees.
It's not even that.
The airlines are basically operating at like no capacity.
They're essentially shutting down.
No one's traveling anyway.
Congratulations.
You're going to get $1,200.
What are you going to do with it?
What are you going to buy?
Milk, bread, and eggs, I guess.
I'm sure online shops have shot through the roof, though.
Online shops?
Yeah, everyone has internet still. There's stuff to buy.
And FedEx and UPS are essential
so they're still running.
They're still, you know, people are
doing their shopping online. Which is what they've
done anyway. But what portion of the economy
is like local bars
and restaurants and retail shops?
A lot. Massive portion. That's true.
Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid,
Duane Reade.
Nothing.
No more cash flow.
Well, I mean, if this is seriously the way it's going to be, like humanity will look
a lot different in about a year.
We will adjust, but it's going to be weird.
I think no matter what anyone tries to do, we are going like you're right.
It's going to be a dramatic transformation.
We're going to be fine.
And you know what you said uh yesterday i think it's we're going to see technological advances like we've never seen well i methodological advances this still it's going to happen so
the way i'd explain it is we're going to see an application of technology not seen before
yeah so one of the things that that's that of the things that we see a lot more of
is the application of drive-thrus
for even medical testing.
Right.
So now there's,
I saw reporting that Walgreens, for instance,
you can pull up to Walgreens
at the pharmacy drive-thru and say,
milk, bread, and eggs, please.
And they'll be like, here you are, sir.
Why can't we do that now?
That's a good question.
And that's a methodology,
not a technology,
but using a mobile app. Yeah. You can go on your phone and do milk, bread, eggs,
boop. And then they can see on the app where you are. And then they see you pulling up and
they grab the stuff and they go to the window and you pull up and they say, yeah, that's true.
One of your videos earlier, you said like, um, you were talking about shops are still staying
open because you can actually call them and be like, I would like
to purchase this please. And they walk out and give it to you. Right. That's pretty cool. But
think about how like Uber works. Okay. You press the app and then you're looking and you're watching
the little car come to you and you're like, and they're outside. And then, you know, to go outside
because you see them pulling up. The inverse is true for curbside delivery. You go on the Best
Buy app and you're going to be like, I need to buy this here laptop for work.
And then you pull up and right before you get there,
they see you pulling up on the street,
just like you would see the driver.
And they say, oh, he's pulling up.
Okay, great.
And then they walk outside.
And right when you walk, right when you pull up,
they walk outside.
Here you are, Mr. Crickler.
And you wave and you turn around, you're gone.
The future is here.
So, but these are interesting changes.
I'm talking about like
what we we were just watching that rick and morty episode where they're like the mad max world yeah
i'm talking about like mad max changes well i mean didn't you say something i think yesterday
ups is designing drones that that fly 160 miles an hour and are wind resistant yep and obviously
to deliver packages i'm assuming all right man we need two
things right now we need boston dynamics right these are the guys who make those robots that
are like people crazy waves i demand i demand massive government funding all right full-on
communist no i'm kidding but i i want them to develop that to the point where they can be fully autonomous.
They can operate for 16 hours.
And then we need Neuralink.
And then we create the world of surrogates where we have like an avatar version of ourselves.
I almost watched that movie the other day.
I got to watch it.
I thought it was a fun movie.
I like it.
It's interesting.
How cool would it be like a ghost in the shell kind of world where you have like this crazy robot body you could go skating and you wouldn't care because you're damaging your you know avatar instead of wouldn't be the same i want to feel the pain right you want to feel but you'd feel
the rush you'd be in you know i slammed my my my arm today like i got a huge knot right here
and it feels so good right because 10 minutes 10 minutes afterwards i landed the trick that
i was trying to land and I was like yes
this is the pain that I earned
but I'll throw this out there
slamming feels good
it does
it hurts
and you're like oh it hurts
and you're like yeah
I think that's a high T thing
as opposed to the low T guys
I would say so, yeah.
Okay.
It hurts.
I hate shinners.
I hate whacking my ankles.
I do too, yeah.
But like...
But it feels so good.
It converts into...
I don't want to call it anger.
It's fuel.
But it is kind of anger.
Yes.
But it is sort of like
motivational fuel.
Like, there's no one
to be angry at.
Right.
What, are you going to be
mad at the board?
Yes.
People do that.
I know.
And they smash the board.
And they throw the board and it's like, he't do anything but let's say they she all right
boards of he so will there be skateboards in the new world it's a love it's a luxury item absolutely
it's a luxury item man i mean people the skateboards were made on you know like in the
backyards of people who couldn't surf and they they scrambled them all
together to surf on the roads so it's like sure it's not necessity but it'll be a thing so check
this out let's let's let's loop this back to the the pending mad max world oh great when would they
arrive treasury secretary steve mnuchin said he expects most people to get their payments within three weeks.
As I said, what are you going to buy?
You can still buy anything, basically.
And when is rent due?
Rent is due on April 1st. I actually found out from a buddy of mine in Arizona that they're saying all rent is pushed off.
This puts a moratorium on evictions.
Oh, okay. But listen, listen man but yeah it's like
rent isn't a magic vacuum i know yeah exactly it's like so it does but this is really what a
lot of these activists think they they think it's like if if you know i i shouldn't have to pay a
landlord that makes no sense it goes along with this naive thinking of for did you know that for every one homeless person
we have two empty houses owned by banks and it's like and and invariably it's like well why don't
we just put the homeless people in the houses and you're like how this works because houses need to
be up you know upkept yeah you know they need maintenance there's electrical problems coding
issues i'm sorry not coding issues uh wiring yeah And I mean, code as in like building code and law.
And if you just put someone in an empty house, are they going to eat the walls?
Is it made of gingerbread?
You can't just put a person in a house and expect to solve your problems.
Not only that, the house slowly falls apart.
Someone has to maintain it.
There has to be value there.
There can be an exchange through labor.
I don't like the idea of investment properties i get it people are you know it's kind of like buying something and then waiting for it
to become more valuable when someone could actually use the house but if someone can't work to mow the
lawn to fix the plumbing to fix the electrical then the house collapses and the people get hurt
and then you have a stain and a hole in the community and then another homeless is still cycle so it's it's not something as simple as just snapping your fingers and saying you have a stain and a hole in the community. And then another homeless is still homeless.
And it's a cycle.
Yeah.
So it's not something as simple as just snapping your fingers
and saying you can do it.
Yeah.
So a lot of these people are saying,
why don't we freeze rent?
You realize that there are employees
at these rental management companies.
Yeah.
And they have to get paid too.
My mom is one of those people.
Yeah, and the landlords, that's actually their jobs.
Yeah, that's their job.
They manage all these properties.
So if they're not getting rent, they're not getting paid.
So it's like, who are you going to choose?
But this is what I love about this argument from the activists.
They're like, landlord isn't a job.
And I'm like, when your toilet breaks, who do you call?
I call my landlord and then he gets it fixed.
Not always.
I pull up my sleeves.
You have a slumlord. Fixing myself. That's that's right well sometimes you can't do that actually like you have to inform
them and let them know otherwise they can come after you and claim you damaged something yeah
but anyway the point is if you don't know how to fix it right if you have a slumlord yeah there are
laws slumlords you know you can't do certain things yeah if your your electricity goes out
if the power goes out if there's a problem with the the house, now it's, it's man, it's also the
assumption of risk and liability. You could rent a house and then annihilate it and then laugh on
your way out. And then landlord's going to be like, yeah, you're taking the risk. You're taking
the risk as a landlord. So it is a job, especially when you maintain multiple properties. More importantly, how many landlords are just like retirees who have like a cottage attachment
or something and they rent it out and you're paying rent to them?
What about, so I've actually rented property before from some retirees and they had a mortgage
on a house that was, they could only afford it on their retirement budget by renting out
part of the house.
What happens if I was like, I can't pay you and you can't evict me?
Then they're going to be like, well, then we're going to default on our mortgage.
Well, don't worry.
They can't foreclose on you.
Yeah.
But when this is all over, then what?
Yeah, exactly.
Like what's going to happen to the, what happens to the banks?
Like this ripples, the economy is intertwined.
And so once rent comes due, a whole new wave of
industries are going to see what going out of business feels like, just like retail and stuff.
Which brings me to that first thing I brought up. We are already seeing prices explode.
What do you think is going to happen after the stimulus when they dump all this money into it?
They're dumping all this money into the economy.
Yeah, it's going to result in inflation.
You can't just print money.
Yeah, exactly.
So look at this.
I say sale of eggs rose 44% compared to this time last year.
Wholesale eggs are up 180%.
Milk is up about 30%.
What about bread?
Do they talk about bread?
Eggs, beef, milk, and other household staples are skyrocketing.
But they're saying this is because of panic buying.
I'm over here being the vegan like, meh.
Meh.
Meh.
This means nothing to me.
I feel like a lot of people are going to be vegans soon.
Oh, totally, dude. Because there's not going to be options.
They can't get meat.
Hold on.
They won't be able to get it.
What did they buy from the store when they said to get emergency supplies?
Toilet paper.
No, no, no.
Like the smart people bought food.
I don't know.
What did they get?
Rice and beans.
Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and beans. Rice and food i don't know what rice and beans rice
and beans everybody there was a there was a story in the new york times which is really funny i mean
it said it's a it's a it's a what do they call it a boon in the bean industry bullish on beans
no for real man i know the new york times wrote it's like the bean industry is exploding right now
the demand is through the roof beans i love my beans everybody does these are great they're
in chili you can make you got black bean burgers you got beans and rice that's it that's a global
staple yep and you got baked beans baked beans for breakfast you know put some tomatoes and some
have a have a british yeah british breakfast british breakfast i love it yeah mushrooms
baked beans tomato slices yeah some blood pudding not that
oh yeah dude no thanks it's you like it you like blood yeah it's like a sausage patty whatever
i don't know it's like i eat it all the time it's like a british thing yeah but the funny thing is
so earlier today i was trying to get egg substitute because we want to be able to bake right so for
all you're watching if we want to make like a bread or like pancakes or something,
I can't put eggs in the closet.
You got to go to the store to get eggs.
And I was like,
well, that's fine.
Is there something I can buy
that's like an egg substitute
that lasts longer?
It's vegan.
Boom.
The egg.
So it's not about the substitute.
It's about longevity.
Yeah.
So there's like powdered eggs.
But I was looking for something
that can last for a long time
that we could put in the closet. And it's like a chickpea ground thing you mix a little bit
of water and it works for baking for eggs yeah it does so i think i've i've had that stuff before
i'm not i'm good it works i will uh make the assumption you're being a bit facetious when
you say everyone will be vegan yeah but boy is the consumption of meat gonna go down yeah yeah
it's gonna be definitely was you know but i i do think that more people it's not it's
not that they're not they're gonna choose it's just because they have no choice there's gonna
be no meat available there's gonna be no eggs there's no price it's gonna be it's gonna be
expensive yeah and it's gonna go back to you know 100 years ago when it was a rich man's thing to
to eat meat all the time because it was expensive,
because it wasn't readily available in every single store everywhere that it was an easy
thing to get access to, you know?
I got to be pessimistic right now.
Oh, man.
Again.
Again.
Is it possible for us to even stop this thing?
Yeah.
The coronavirus?
It's not killing everybody.
That's because we've shut the economy down.
But it wasn't killing everyone anyway before we did that, right? No, no, no, no, no. Right. Yeah. The coronavirus? It's not killing everybody. That's because we've shut the economy down. But
it wasn't killing everyone anyway before we did that, right? No, no, no, no, no, no. Right. I'm
not saying every human's going to die. Okay. I'm saying, I mean, the mortality rate could be like
15%. I know. Is it possible to even stop it? If they're saying it's going to be two years of us
locking down, will that, will we even serve, will our economy even survive if that's the case it'll adapt
maybe yeah humans adapt i don't know man it's it's a scary we're we're it feels like we're
standing on a cliff and i'm just like looking down like and i'm turned around and like everyone's
just charging towards me it's like oh this is where we're gonna go down this cliff they so
the senate passes this two2 trillion thing. Yeah.
And all of a sudden now, what do we hear?
Why don't we get universal health care?
We were able to pull $2 trillion out of thin air, right?
Not realizing the damage that will come with rapidly injecting all that money from the money machine.
That's what no one really wants to think about.
What happens after everything?
They're only worried about right now.
What about right now?
It's like, okay, well,
you have to think about the consequences
of everything that happens.
No one does, ever.
No one does.
They think about the first...
This is the way I always explain it.
I was playing chess since I was a little kid.
And especially as both of us, we play Magic.
We're always thinking about,
if I do this,
what might they do?
Yeah.
And if they do that,
what might I do in response?
Yeah.
Most people don't think that far.
They're like,
you know,
it's like,
they'll be,
imagine someone's playing poker and they go,
Oh,
I have two aces.
I'm all in.
And you're like,
I have three twos.
And they go,
Oh,
I didn't think about the possibility
of someone having three twos.
Yeah.
You don't,
you know, it's like you get two aces and you don't pay attention to what's on the board.
And so you're laughing.
And then, you know, two twos are there.
And the guy goes, oh, I have one two that gives me three twos.
I win.
I beat your pocket aces.
Yeah.
They don't think.
So, yeah.
So I know what's going to happen.
So you're right.
They don't think past stage one.
This is something that I complain about endlessly.
But what's going to happen is they're going to inject the economy with cash bad things are going to happen you know they're just going to blame the other party we didn't do
enough we did not do enough i said last time done all this and they said in the 20s exactly so
pelosi's uh nancy pelosi you know she's like basically the leader of the democrats is saying
the next one's going to be bigger with more money.
The next stimulus package.
Yep.
Because you have everyone on the right and the left saying it's not enough.
Yeah.
And I'm sitting here thinking like, I hear you, man.
Yeah.
Because people lost their jobs overnight.
Yeah.
3.3 million unemployment claims.
Yeah.
How are you going to pay rent?
The economy's on fire. And so everyone everyone's like get me money now yeah i know where this goes i've been to these
countries man and if and if we if we do a 2 trillion stimulus on top of the past two so i
don't know i don't know the hard number as i heard someone mentioned 6 million at one point
but if pelosi's got a 2.5 trillion and it's just like let's just dump money into the sewer, is that really going to solve anyone's problems?
But what is?
It's like you were saying.
It's a kiss on a boo-boo.
It helps a little bit.
You're a little kid.
You stub your toe.
There are some people that it's going to help for months.
Right.
But then there's people in the city that $1,200 is literally nothing.
Right.
I understand that.
But I mean, in the short term, we're going to be sitting back being like, whew, thank heavens.
And then a year from now, people are going to be like, milk costs $10.
Yeah.
So I guess the bigger issue, though, mit and harvard have both said two years
i hope they're wrong i hope so too because the bigger question is if we're if we're deluding
ourselves that we can get a handle on this thing yeah then all we're doing is making things worse
before it gets even worse but i don't know man i here's here's the issue nobody wants to be the
person who's going to say open the floodgates and then take the responsibility for everyone dying.
Nobody would do it.
This is such a rock and a hard place.
There is no right answer.
There's just like people are going to get hurt.
Yep.
I don't know what to do.
So which which option gives us less deaths?
That's that's what everyone's trying to figure out.
Yeah.
And so it's funny because when Trump trump and republicans and other people come
out and say we need to get this the economy you know economy started as soon as possible
the other side just accuses them of trying to sacrifice people for corporate profit
it's such a it's such a a naive and childish way of viewing the world they're not looking at it
like corporate profit to line our pockets what are you joking? Rich people can't buy anything if there's
nothing to buy. Nobody wants to just have the money because worthless money, you know.
You can't eat money.
You can't. Right. And what people really want is access to labor. That's the true value of money
for the most part, resources and labor. And if nobody's working, why would it matter? So that's
what's really happening. It's like, listen, man, if the economy isn't moving,
supplies won't be delivered to these hospitals and people will die anyway.
Not only that, if people can't eat or live, they die.
The economy has to keep moving.
So what do you think?
Should Trump open it up in two weeks, April 12th, Easter?
It sounds like he's going, he's like, you know what?
We need to get the economy going.
I'm going to open it up.
And people already hate him anyway.
So what's the difference?
Yeah, he can be that person.
Well, you either love him or you hate him.
But it's like, you know what, though?
At this point, his approval rating is higher than it's ever been.
It's in the aggregate.
He's shattered the record.
And when it comes to coronavirus, most Americans support him.
This is unheard of for his presidency.
Right.
So if he says, let's open it up.
He did.
And the polls skyrocketed.
Dude, let me see if I can pull something up.
Okay.
Yeah, it's going to be interesting.
It feels like he knows what needs to happen because we need to get it going.
We need to get the economy.
It went up even more.
What, since you saw?
Since I talked about it earlier today.
Oh.
Check this out.
What are the two different numbers?
See this huge spike?
Boom.
Oh, I see.
Okay.
47.1.
When I first recorded my segment earlier today, I was at 47.
So it even went up just a little bit. Now, his disapproval rate is 49.6.
But take a look at where his disapproval was throughout his presidency. See this huge spike?
Yeah. What happened in the past couple of days that led to a huge, huge spike?
Yeah. Well, to be fair, is a big spike. When we look at the past few polls,
they're still negative. And the positive ones are like Gallup Emerson. But yeah, Trump in the
aggregate over the past few days has skyrocketed around the same time he said, I'm going to get
you back to work. That's what I think we want. I think we know what the people want to do.
It's not just that his approval rating is on a variety of factors. But if we look specifically at job approval on coronavirus,
this is where it's like, OK, I think the people want Trump to do his thing. It's not going to
load, is it? The site is ridiculous. I like real clear politics, but yeah, it can be.
Check this out. Gallup has him plus 22. His approval rating on the coronavirus is 49.6
and disapproval is 45. He's
got the majority of Americans on his side for this one right now.
Look at this.
Fox from the 21st to the 24th
plus 5.
Well, I'm pretty sure that's around the time
period he's been talking about getting people back to work, right?
And seeing the media
twist everything and
everyone has no time on their hands but to watch the
media and see that it's all just a bunch of hogwash.
It's like, okay, we see what's happening. We are watching Trump.
Now you're telling this. It's like, alright, well I guess what you've been saying to me
is wrong. And he's saying some stuff I agree with.
That's why they're freaking out.
Stay alive, Biden.
You're our only hope. with. That's why they're freaking out. This is what I was talking about on my main channel. Stay alive, Biden. Stay alive, Biden.
You're our only hope.
He's not your only hope.
So the main point I was making earlier today is that Trump's doing
these daily press briefings and his
polls are just skyrocketing.
Look at that spike.
That is just a boom.
Unsubstantiated hope. It's like, get out of here.
This is crazy. I saw this huge spike.
Donald Trump comes out and says, we're going to get you back to work.
We have potential treatments.
We're working on this.
And the American people are clapping.
Not everybody, but a lot of people.
And you were right.
Because nobody's working, they're sitting at home watching TV.
Exactly.
And they see the media lie.
And they see Trump say, I'm working for you.
And people are starting to go, I like that. And they're watching the media change and they see trump say i'm working for you and people are starting to go i like that
and they're watching the media change throughout the days they go one way they go the other way
they go the other way and then people are like here's what we're paying attention you want to
know what my favorite is what man this really really pissed me off when uh this is why i did
the segment i did earlier today on my main channel about the media's freaking out. Yeah.
The New York Times wrote about the conundrum the media faces with Trump being a liar.
They said that he encouraged unproven drugs, which led to an Arizona man dying.
God, that whole thing is so stupid. He never encouraged anyone to take anything.
No.
But here's the thing.
I know.
Andrew Cuomo did too.
And beyond this, Andrew Cuomo of new york yeah
said we're going into clinical trials for this yeah he was basically saying exactly the same
thing that trump did and what the new york times write about cuomo he's a hero he's he's he's the
politician of the moment who's bringing empathy and strength into his press conferences yeah
yep i was i was livid man it's stark it. He's just a different version of Trump to me.
Well, sure.
Okay, but the story is like you can clearly see them saying Trump is wrong to say this is a good idea
and then turning around and saying Cuomo is a hero for suggesting this idea.
Well, they didn't say that.
That's a bit much.
They didn't say it like that.
They didn't specifically say Cuomo encouraged this drug.
What a good person
and trump literally said the exact same thing yes right they're testing this drug and it's
promising responses to it and then when the guy drank when the guy put a spoonful of fish cleaner
in his you drank it they blamed trump instead of the media or cuomo yeah exactly so people are
watching actually and you know if you if you look through the reports it wasn't
actually what trump was saying she was like in the interview with this with the woman that
survived it but her husband passed away she was saying that she saw his press press the you know
the press conference and then it was reported in the media multiple times over and over and over
again and that's when she was like, oh.
They found information online.
Interesting.
Right.
She then made the connection, you know, because Trump, it was a medicinal thing.
Then they just kept saying the word over and over again.
Well, Trump's got this.
He's saying that there's this drug, you know, blah, blah, blah.
And there's chances.
So it's like they just keep repeating it.
And that's where she got it from.
You know what I think insulated me from the orange man bad trump derangement syndrome is that i was covering a
lot of what obama was doing when he was doing it okay and so when all of a sudden trump started
doing things that weren't as bad or were similar i was like i'm confused why are you angry yeah
everyone is praising obama you voted for this guy for that guy twice he's the one who built those cages in like you know homestead florida or whatever yeah he's the one who sent
the drones overseas i'm not saying trump is good i'm saying like i don't understand why you're mad
all of a sudden right i thought you guys were for this stuff right and so it was like confusing me
i'm like what it's really crazy herd mentality it's it's it's it's really crazy to me that
i'm i'm grateful that this can exist yeah like that
we can sit here and be like can you seriously name you know the average person can't name a
single thing they don't like about the president other than he's a potty mouth and he's like a
gross dude or something or that he's a liar okay but what does he lied about i don't know he lies
about silly things for sure true he like says the the quiet part loud and the loud part quiet.
Yeah, but I've actually since started following him on Twitter,
and he's like a professional troll.
He is.
I swear he knows what he's doing.
He does.
He's got a push button.
Of course he does.
Exactly.
He's putting this stuff out going,
ha-ha, they're going to eat this up,
and they're going to be distracted by it.
Kafefe. Kafefe, yeah, exactly. After that,. And they're going to be distracted by it. Covfefe.
Covfefe, yeah, exactly.
After that, when the media went nuts, he rolled into it.
He knows what he's doing.
He knows.
Yeah, it's true.
There's different tweets.
He's got his serious tweets, and then he's like, I'm totally messing with you tweets.
I'm sitting on the toilet.
And those are always the ones that the media hits up.
They're like, whoa, look what he said this time.
And it's like, of course you logged on to that one.
Here's the thing about him.
He's done some bad stuff.
He's gotten a lot of criticism for the easy go-tos,
missile strike in Syria, weapons in Saudi Arabia.
And the environmental changes.
Removing environmental regulations.
And so there's things to criticize the guy for,
but when I look to any other president,
like Obama and the Dakota Access Pipeline, and so there's things to criticize the guy for but when i look to any other president like obama
and the dakota access pipeline like nobody he was doing the same thing man yeah they called him the
the deporter in chief i don't care i'm ambivalent it's like it's the same old same old yeah but
every president's gonna abuse their power a little bit well no it's just yes they do what
they think i'm sure they will i don't think they're doing it because they're evil like mustache twirling i think they're like i gotta do this
for the for the good of the country this is the thing that must be done like i think i think that
lobbyists paid me way a lot of money that i need to like follow through on the promise but but
everyone's the hero of their own story they justify it in their minds that's true they're
like this is the right thing to do it makes sense sense. Yes. So when it comes to Trump, you have this extreme irrational hatred, Trump derangement syndrome, Trump anxiety disorder, whatever you want to call it.
The actual physicians call it Trump anxiety disorder.
There are real reasons to criticize the guy and there are real reasons to want to vote for someone else.
But what you see in the media is so thick.
It's like the man.
Yeah, but I'd rather have someone with with uh some brains
instead of no brains but what oh right and he just to hear like he's checked out a long time ago to
hear my hippie friends just don't know like my friends right because like i can't vote for biden
man and i'm like who you're gonna vote for and they're. And I'm like, who are you going to vote for? And they're like, Trump, I guess.
I'm like, what?
What is happening?
He's not talking about me, by the way.
Not you, no.
Just saying.
So the average person,
what really bothers me about the whole thing
is that Joe Biden, for instance,
was just credibly accused.
I don't know if you heard this.
I watched your video, yeah.
He was credibly accused.
And then I saw all the
videos that you brought up about all
how cringy he is with women.
Cringy? Dude. Oh, gosh. Gropey?
Gropey? Yes. Which is
cringy. Yeah. Oh,
man. Here we are, planning
a show that we, like, originally were talking
about the silliness of Sonic the Hedgehog. Right.
And we're having a blast with it. And we got
200,000 views.
I'm like, dude, this is awesome.
You know what?
The one rule he gave me, he was like, yo, we're going to do the show.
It's going to be awesome.
I've got one rule.
We're not allowed to say the word Democrat or Republican.
And I was like, yes, because I know nothing about politics.
And I was like, I don't believe in any of that.
I don't think it's real.
But here's the thing.
Look where we are.
It's true.
And I said, we will talk a little bit about politics. Like, it'll pop up. even any of that i don't think it's real but here's the thing look where we are it's true and i said
we will talk a little bit about politics like it'll pop up but we'll avoid saying the d and
the r word because we want to make this more about like what regular people are up to what's fun
and now here we are and the world has just like dude you hit the nail on the head we're all stuck
at home we're forced to watch this stuff there's no other news and we are seeing all of the lies in real
time and now people in the polls are seeing it too they're like trump didn't tell anybody to
eat fish cleaner trump's a lot like obama so so so here's the thing and this has been like a meme
actually i'm not gonna the meme i was gonna bring up is that like you know people like to go up to
random people and say why do you hate trump and they can't give you a reason yeah but here's the better point people who are online on say like
youtube or twitter or social media who are active and searching for the news okay we'll find we'll
gravitate towards honest conversations joe rogan you know uh dave rubin jordan peterson and someone
like uh you and me perhaps i'm not i don't i don Perhaps. I don't need to mention myself.
There are people who exist
who do a great job of it.
No, no, that's what I'm here for.
I got you, bro.
There you go.
Thanks, buddy.
I got you.
Honest conversations.
With Soy Jesus.
Yes.
So here's the thing.
If you're somebody
who cares about the news
and you read a bunch of stories
and you're like,
whoa, I can't believe
that's happening.
And then you turn on a show
like ours
and we say a variety of like, here's what the media claimed. Here's what actually happened. Here are the polls. You're like, whoa, I can't believe it's happening. And then you turn on a show like ours and we say a variety of like, here's what the media claimed. Here's what actually happened. Here are the polls.
You're like, it's confirmation bias, but because the people who read the news and know what
happened, like how many, how many times have we got super chats or comments where they corrected
us? That's true. And I told us here, it's because everybody watching and, and, and us are people who
are actively paying attention to the news.
Yeah.
These are my people.
Not everybody.
I don't want to say everybody because I know a lot of people are like, you know, after I get off work, I like to turn your show on because I trust you or something like that.
Silly.
But what about the other side?
The people who just blindly hate Trump?
You can dislike him.
You can criticize him.
I'm fairly ambivalent.
I think he's a really funny guy.
I got to be honest.
But do your own research.
But when they don't.
On all things, do your own research. But these people don't do research that enough i know
they turn on msnbc herd mentality they turn on msnbc and they sit back and they love it
so i don't like uh i'm not a big fan of hannity or laura ingram i don't watch any but i like
tucker carlson you know why he's right. I don't always agree with his opinions, but he has on opposition.
Right.
And he's in front of this.
Like, he was talking about this stuff in January.
Yeah.
And the other hosts weren't so much.
They tend to be kind of like, you know, bombastic tribalist pundits.
I'm not trying to, you know, give beef to them necessarily, but I don't like Rachel Maddow either.
Yeah.
I don't like MSNBC.
I've seen so much of her stuff float around
and it's always just ridiculous.
Oh, she's insane.
She seems pretty crazy.
She's so bonkers.
She really does seem pretty crazy.
I gotta say, it is unfair of me to compare
Hannity and Laura Ingram to Rachel Maddow.
That is not fair at all.
Oh, okay.
Because Hannity and Laura are bomb are bombastic see these these names
don't mean anything to me oh they're pundits right yeah i don't i i mean i i get that i just
i i don't know i don't know anything about these people you know it's like you don't have to it's
the media and i don't trust the media you know i like to find out the information myself read the
actual scientific proof you know that's the kind of person I am. So here's the thing. Like I did, I did a segment on this last year. It's not about just reading a
news source. It's about reading it and then finding their source and verifying the information. And
there was one story, I can't remember what it was about, it was about Ocasio-Cortez. And it was a
news article that referenced a tweet that referenced an activist blog that referenced an article and i had to dig
down to find the source and of course it was fake news so it's like a completely media game of
telephone yep where they slowly change the story to finally gets to the media and it's like they're
talking about a purple elevator yeah and you start out talking about like a bathtub or something
don't even get me started man okay wait wait people love your rants rant tim go for it yeah who wants a story everybody probably everybody wants a
this guy from nbc because i got invited to the white house he wrote a story about the people
who were invited to the white house and because the narrative had to be specifically that the
only people invited are fringe wackos. This activist who works for NBC,
who purports to be a journalist,
wrote that Tim Pool, comma,
who pushed the Seth Rich conspiracy theory
and then linked to an activist blog post
that showed a clip of me out of context
and then used that as evidence.
And then all of a sudden,
dozens of other outlets started just copying and pasting.
And so I started hitting them up saying
like getting clicks yeah man oh it's working let's it's just it's just cheap plagiarism it's it's
journalism that's what's called churn is that yes just churning it out so yep one outlet saw nbc
and then just copied their article and rewrote it and then nbc the guy from nbc removed the the
evidence of what of what it was actually because they all started sourcing each other.
It's called, the guy from XKCD calls it cytogenesis, kind of, where it's this phenomenon on Wikipedia where someone will see fake news and then write a Wikipedia article and cite
fake news.
Oh, cite.
I was like, how cytogenesis?
And then someone from BuzzFeed will see it in Wikipedia and then write, on Wikipedia,
they claim this.
And then someone from Deadline will write, it's a known fact that this.
And then someone on Wikipedia will say, this source you've used is bunk.
Can you give me a better source?
And I'll say, yes, here's Deadline.
It's cytogenesis.
It happens all the time.
So this guy writes a fake story.
And then here's the best part.
The Today Show aired it with a big old picture of me on NBC.
They showed a big old picture of my face and says, this is a guy who's been pushing the
Seth Rich conspiracy theories.
Never happened.
Dude, I don't remember that.
I've never pushed the Seth Rich conspiracy theory stuff.
I was always skeptical.
I always said, let's be real.
Stuff like this never happens.
You know, the likelihood this is real.
It was around the time that Kim.com claimed he had evidence that Seth Rich was the WikiLeaks source. And I said, well, he's saying it. And
Fox News just came up with a story confirming that they found evidence of this. I'll give it
a 68% chance. Come on, guys, let's be real. Stuff like this never turns out to be true.
What did they take? A snippet of me being like, I don't know, I'll give it a 68% chance. And then claim Tim Pool pushes the conspiracy theory by saying the Fox News story,
which was definitively posted and they retracted it later. Of course it was. Well, I thought it
was real. A lot of people thought it was real and they retracted it. Yeah, there was an investigator
guy. And it's like, not only that, it's like, like dude i was in my living room back when i had like no
youtube subscribers i had like you know 5 000 or whatever and i did a live stream and i was just
someone asked me about it i'm like i don't know a whole lot about it but i saw this story wow
yeah maybe and then once my channel did well they dug through all of my history and said boom tim
pool's a conspiracy theorist boom we got him that's the media's game i'm like that's all they
got they're vultures.
They are vultures.
Well, the Wikipedia editors weren't having any of it.
Like, someone went in and tried to add it,
and then the editors were like,
get this bunk up out at me.
Actually, it was a huge debate.
It was like... On your Wikipedia?
Whether or not I was a conspiracy theorist or not.
And it's, like, so insane.
The craziest thing to me is
how they use that as a weapon against you.
And so it's like if you go to any counterculture or there's a bunch of, I don't know, I guess
counterculture is the easiest way to say it.
Their Wikipedia pages are just loaded with complete BS.
And so I've gone, there's a bunch of journalists who do like news organization stuff and like
conferences.
And I've repeatedly said to them, why won't you call this out?
Yeah.
Give you an example.
BuzzFeed wrote a story.
Man dies at Popeye's and fight over a chicken sandwich.
Never happened.
They made it up because a story about two black men fighting the death over fried chicken
was clickbait.
The real story.
They were at Popeye's.
A guy cut in line. Someone
called him out. The guy said, take it outside.
And when outside, he knifed him in the chest real quick and ran
off. Nobody was fighting
over a sandwich. It was senseless violence.
This stuff happens all the time. Dude.
That was during the Popeye chicken sandwich craze?
Technically. You think Popeye's
paid them under the table for that?
Well, that was a conspiracy theory. Oh, really?
That Popeye's put out a statement specifically because they wanted the story to exist,
that two men fought to the death over the sandwich.
That's how good it was.
I'm not kidding.
I'm not saying it's true, but there are people on social media believing that.
I was just joking.
I don't think that's true.
You want to know what?
No way.
I got no problem saying this.
I reached out to Ben Smith of BuzzFeed.
Okay.
And I said, hey, this story is not real.
And then he sent me a quote.
The police saying they believe that this had something to do with the release of the Popeye's
chicken sandwich.
And I said, that doesn't prove it's real.
Yeah, that put them in the restaurant at the same time.
That was it.
Right.
And I said to him, I'm vaguely remembering.
I don't want to, you know, I mean, but I remember saying something to him.
This was over Twitter that the dude's family came out and said nobody – his cousin was like, ain't nobody died over a chicken sandwich.
This is BS.
The media is lying.
And they were lying.
I know.
And didn't you tell me that they're not even that good?
I didn't like it.
I never tried it.
I didn't like it.
I like Chick-fil-A better.
For obvious reasons.
But he refused to correct it.
The story is up to this day.
And so here's what I did.
Because it still clicks.
So NewsGuard.
People click on it.
NewsGuard is the service that I use.
Yeah, yeah.
Actually, we can pull it up.
I can show you guys.
Yeah, let's look at it.
So this thing right here, you'll see the check mark.
Real clear politics.
Gets green across the board, except they don't label their advertising really well.
I mean, is that fair?
Yeah, it's just white boxes.
I mean, sure, whatever.
Full nutrition panel or whatever. I mean, sure, whatever. It's like a full nutrition panel or whatever.
Maybe there's articles or whatever.
Well, it's not like clearly different because it's like a white border.
So it kind of flows in.
You know what?
Whatever.
I mean, I could see why.
Here, take a look at this.
I use this as it's a sort of a credibility check for myself.
It's a shield for me that if you want to claim I'm being biased by using bad sources,
I only use sources when they're certified by an organization that I find to be biased.
NewsGuard's actually not that bad.
But I got an email from them and they were like, you know, the trolls are trying to give us a bad rating.
Whenever they give a news website a red exclamation point, these sites, not all of them,
will encourage their readers to go and downrank news guard yeah seriously in the
app store yeah dude and so i got an email saying because uh they were like you know you're like it
was like a general email like supporters please go and help us and i was like okay and i gave
them a two out of five and i wrote it's because they give buzzfeed green check marks across the
board except for the difference between like they say they don't handle the difference between
opinion and responsibility or i'm sorry opinion andinion and news responsibly. I think they do.
And I said they'll give the Daily Wire, which is Ben Shapiro's outlet, all X's because they wrote two or three bad stories.
Because of a difference in opinion.
Because of a difference in opinion.
And then they'll give BuzzFeed green checkmarks across the board, even though BuzzFeed's literally made stuff up.
The problem is these organizations by default believe BuzzFeed to be credible.
And so they use BuzzFeed to fact check other organizations.
Oh, man.
Right.
When BuzzFeed's making stuff up.
Exactly. And so here's what happens. They say the Washington Post is a good, credible source.
Okay.
So we don't need to actually. So here's what will happen. Let's say I wrote a story
that said that fight over the chicken sandwich is fake news buzzfeed's
lying they'll go to buzzfeed and they'll say no buzzfeed says it's true tim pool is lying and
they'll give me the x wow that's how it works with with the bias in these systems so you know
buzzfeed and all these other and like the daily beast has written so much fake crap i know for i
know for a fact because i was actually on the ground at several of these events they wrote about and I'm like, they made that up. They straight made stuff up.
Yeah. And then I reach out to the news guard and I say, why won't you call them out?
I reach out to people at the Online News Association. None of them will do anything.
They don't care. And they know it. I reached out to the former editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed News
personally. I know Ben. I've been to the BuzzFeed offices and hanging out with him.
I saw him on the way to Davos, the World Economic Forum years ago.
We've talked.
He's in one of my videos.
And so I hit him up and said, you need to correct this.
And he said no.
Yeah, because the media isn't about getting the news out there, the real news.
Nah, it's clicks.
It's about getting people to their site
so that they can make more ad revenue.
I'll clarify.
I don't think he...
It's been a while since we talked.
He didn't directly say,
I refuse to correct or anything.
He just said,
the police said it was related to it.
We're good.
And the headline says...
It sounds like a brush up.
...in a fight over...
And basically saying no.
And when I reached out to...
So when I did that review for news
guard yeah i responded to the email saying just to let you know you requested it i gave it to you
i gave you a two out of five and here's why they emailed me back saying i respect you know you know
you've talked about us but i don't think it's fair and then i said i like you give media matters
yeah green check marks across the board media matters i don't know what that is it's an activist
organization that it's just basically
if you're conservative or right-wing they'll lie about you my favorite and this was funny because
wikipedia the wikipedia editors like wigged out on how insane it was media matters wrote that i
pushed a conspiracy theory that ilhan omar married may have married her brother she's the she's a
democratic congresswoman i did hear about this but what they showed on the page was me looking at the Star Tribune that said she may have married a man who may be her brother.
That was their reference?
So here's the best part.
They said Tim Pool falsely claimed that the Star Tribune claimed that Ilhan Omar may have married her brother.
And they showed a picture of me with my face in the corner and the newspaper for the Star Tribune with the sentence i was reading i didn't falsely claim anything i read a sentence off the
newspaper and you can literally see it on your screen and so somebody tried using the source
from media matters saying timball's a conspiracy theorist on wikipedia and they were like i clicked
that and they're claiming that a paper he read was a false attribution but they showed the paper he
was reading yeah exactly that's how insane they are.
And they get green check marks as credible.
Dude.
That's NewsGuard.
So why, I mean, you started by saying you use NewsGuard because you want to have your
stuff checked, but it's clear to me that they are biased.
Totally.
There are some cats and dogs.
So how do you know that it's even worth using them at all?
If NewsGuard wants to come to me and give me a red checkmark or whatever
and accuse me, I'm going to laugh.
I'm going to be like, why, bro?
I only use sites you've approved.
Oh, that's funny.
Is that the only reason?
Because it sounds like their checkmarks mean nothing.
People like Media Matters using that smear against me, that's how they weaponize it.
They try to claim you're pushing a fake news website.
It's like, don't look at me, man.
If NewsGuard says it's good, I use it.
So I used the Center for Immigration Studies as a source once.
Okay.
And a bunch of progressives started claiming I was using alt-right propaganda.
And I'm just like, don't look at me, man.
NewsGuard said they're certified factual and correct.
End of story.
Don't care. Brush it off.
The perfect scapegoat.
It's not me. They approved it.
It's true, though.
I know.
I don't know.
I know exactly what I'm saying.
What were you saying?
I think we should move to super chats.
Yeah, we got into a ranty.
But hey, it was better than just complaining about morgues again, right?
Yes, moving it forward.
All right, all of our super chat friends.
Shout out to the comments.
What up, everybody? How you doing?
We got way too many.
We got so many.
Good news.
I found beanies.
Yes, he did.
Somebody hit me up today and sent me a website I found beanies. Yes, he did. Somebody hit me up today
and sent me a website
that is beanies.
And this is the craziest part.
It's in our town. Local.
It's local in our town.
I don't have to leave the township.
It's like two miles from us.
So is that not crazy?
And it's made in America. Solid beanies.
Beanies are coming. And the reason we know that it's meant to be is that not crazy? And it's made in America. Solid beanies. Beanies are coming.
And the reason we know that it's meant to be is that amidst the global crisis where we're not allowed to go out or do anything, it's nearby, only a few miles away.
Literally, I could drive there.
So we don't got to worry about travel.
It's crazy.
Like what?
So meant to be.
But we'll see.
Beanie hype.
It's real.
It's real.
We'll see. We are in this shutdown. real. It's real. We'll see.
We are in this shutdown.

David says, we must boycott China.
Pressure corpse to move out.
USA beanies.
Well, boycott's strong, but we definitely need to get out of China.
Yeah.
For the environment, even.
I know.
So I had a buddy who said that skateboarding, he quit quit skateboarding he said it was the most destructive thing on the planet
exaggeration but he's that's where he started telling me about how we cut down trees in canada
send to china and then ship them back and it takes such an amazing amount of energy it's just so
destructive for the environment he was like the amount of carbon those things pump out plus cutting
the trees down he's like i can't do it and i was like why don't we just make the skateboards here yeah yeah you got that sweet cheap chinese labor man
yeah but i think we should i'll pay more for a board if it's made in america yeah man
lance says what if the only what if the only the npc dying i'm not quite sure what you meant sorry
sev says tim and co can you please theorize and visualize our economy if permanently affected by
the coronavirus whether by severity or duration.
This is one of the things that I was kind of thinking, like, if if we go into this two year period of on and off.
Yeah.
We'll see new businesses emerge that you've never even thought of.
I can't even conceptualize.
Yeah.
There will be like, dude, we will have like lock up parties where it's like there will probably be warehouses where they're like
come in for the month, man. We lock the doors. We got all the food you want. We party. We hang out.
Yeah, that'd be cool. There will be and then there will be open up parties where it'll be like,
you know, where the shutdown ends on the first and then we have a major massive party.
Stuff like that. That'd be crazy stuff.
Huge black block parties.
Yeah, because people get sick. I wouldn't want to go.
Holly says,
we should have American workforce wear respirators. If we have
enough, Winter Walker says,
Tim, at what point are you going to bug out?
What's your criteria for that decision?
I don't know.
The armed banditos roaming
roaming the neighborhood maybe yeah yeah because we we could even do this show from the van
we could get like a table and like it would not be as high quality you know but we can talk into
microphones anywhere that's true it's true we Yeah, that's true. Live even.
Onyxin says,
do you think the crisis and the panic gun buying will have a lasting effect on those who didn't understand
the value of 2A or will it all revert? It will.
You see that viral video
of the gun store guy who was yelling? He's like, you
first time gun buyers coming in here.
You don't understand. You can't just get it.
You gotta wait 10 days.
Next time someone tries taking away your stuff,
you'll fight back.
And I was like, woohoo. of these people in these urban centers who are scrambling to buy guns.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Too bad.
Too bad.
You held your tongue and didn't care when all these politicians.
Could you imagine what would have happened if they passed like a couple like it was last
year they want to do the assault weapons ban would have banned like handguns and stuff.
Dude.
People would be like, what do you mean?
I can't own a handgun.
Like, that's right. They're assault weapons. I don't know. Oh, that would have banned like handguns and stuff. Dude. People would be like, what do you mean I can't own a handgun? Like, that's right.
They're assault weapons.
I don't know.
Oh, that would have woken them up.
That would have thrown them for a loop.
And I'm sure they're already thrown for a loop.
Yeah, for sure.
Going to a gun store and the guy's like, no.
Like, what do you mean no?
It's like, here's the law.
And they're like, but I don't understand.
Well, then vote Republican.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think like even like Joe Rogan's big on 2A, right?
I imagine. I think he was saying something about he's like kind of a socialist. But when it comes to 2A, he's like. Yeah. Yeah, I think like even like Joe Rogan's big on 2A, right? I imagine.
I think he was saying something about he's like kind of a socialist, but when it comes to 2A, he's like.
But the reality is socialists tend to be pro 2A.
Like, look, man.
John Brown, gun club.
Yeah, these revolutionary types, they want guns.
They don't like the idea of the government.
It's these weird like resistance corporate Democrat type people who are like no one should be armed.
And they would like
vote for darth vader if you have to give them the chance only only us right so it feels like only
the politicians only the government the celebrities chet says canada is continuing to lock down the
quarantine act was just passed in parliament interesting the price is right review yo sup
guys hope you're staying safe if you guys are gamers and if this gets worse for two years then i honestly want you to uh to apply tom clancy the division game series to this
pandemic just my two cents i was just thinking maybe i should re-download the division two
yeah it's a fun game i've new dlc go back to new york yeah yeah i kind of want to play it now
let's do it let's do it yeah we can live stream people would watch it. Who wants to see me and Tim play some Division 2?
We could actually do the show while playing.
That's true.
We could be like...
I'm half kidding.
I'm only half kidding.
Oh, fun.
Glenn says,
We are basically on full lockdown in Nova Scotia, Canada.
$1,000 fines for not social distancing.
They are arresting people for not self-isolating
wow i don't think people realize how bad it is like i think it's much worse than they're letting
on absolutely i can say it a million times but hearing stories about people being found dead
in their homes yep nobody knew a little bit i know yeah cs brown says apparently china's
experiencing a huge increase in divorces related to COVID-19 forced quarantine.
Yeah.
Same thing coming to America soon?
Yep.
Oh, they've already seen it.
Really?
50% increase in New York divorce lawyers we're talking about.
Yeah.
How do you divorce someone during a quarantine?
Well, you gotta work it carefully.
We're gonna see a lot of babies.
Lots and lots of babies.
I gotta say, everyone's stoked about the idea of us playing Division 2.
We'll figure it out.
Yeah, man.
We actually have
an area set up
because we're gonna do
game streaming
and we actually have
the ports available
on the machine
to do it.
It's true.
We can do it.
I mean, to be honest,
like the first episode,
like the first few episodes
we were doing
was like talking
about movies and stuff.
We're only talking
about this stuff now
because the world's ending and there's nothing else that no one's talking about
anything else yeah but i think we'll we'll we'll like check out the hunt yeah we gotta and then
we'll talk about that because that's culturally relevant to an extent it's the problem is that
all of a sudden no one cares about any of this stuff and i get it you know you want to know
why you lost your job where they're going to eat next and how they're going to pay their rent but
i got i got i got to give you that point like they're they're stuck at
home with nothing to do but watch the news and now they're seeing the lies in real time yeah
that's why this is crazy there were there are two polls now i believe it's gallop and cbs that
people trust trump more than the media that is incredible the media is the media is doing it
i love it so much right making it happen but i love it so much because it's like catharsis.
It's karmic justice.
You know what I mean?
Seems like it.
It's like, oh, man.
I love it.
All right.
Kyle Buchanan says, well, Oklahoma schools are closed for 2020, like, till Jan of next year unless things change.
Whoa.
Crazy.
Yeah.
Wow.
Jen McMahon says, why is everyone ripping Joe Rogan?
Because he smokes.
And we said the other day that, or I was surmising that smokers, it's a lung disease.
So if you smoke, it hits you much more.
Smoke pot?
Anything, I guess.
I don't think he smokes cigarettes.
No, I know.
I know he doesn't smoke cigarettes.
He rocks the ganja, though.
That's what they're talking about, though.
Because that instantly started happening in the chat.
So I think that's just residual from that. i just cool dude yeah maddie bones and very much
alive very much alive yeah and like but he's remarkably fit yeah yeah you know yeah there's
this really funny video where uh this woman calls him fat and he's like what then he pulls his shirt
up and she goes oh no no just like you know he was an mma fighter right yeah yeah i've been waiting for this it still works
out his studio is a gym is it really yeah he's got a full gym and it's got an archery range i
wouldn't mess with him dude i want an archery range yeah that dude's ripped maddie bone says
remember believe all women unless they speak out against a Democrat. P.S. Y'all got me missing my vision streetwear.
Oh, yeah.
So funny story.
When the woman who was abused by Joe Biden went to the Time's Up organization, they said, well, we can't help you because Joe's a Democrat.
It's political.
And, you know, we can't do it.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
That's embarrassing.
Yeah. But if it's Brett Kavanaugh. Are you serious? Yeah. That's embarrassing.
Yeah.
Barf.
But if it's Brett Kavanaugh.
Why is it?
Everyone comes out of the woodwork because he's Republican.
We can't have that. Why is it that Joe Biden is getting by on all of these scandals just because he's running for president?
I don't know.
He's like, I'm going to run for president.
All of a sudden, he is immune criminally.
He's untouchable.
Yeah, he's untouchable.
Untouchable.
Stay alive, Joe.
Yeah.
Stay alive.
Joe Rogan and Joe Biden.
Yes.
Jet says, in my hometown, a guy was arrested by the RCMP for breaking quarantine and fined $1,000.
If he breaks it again, it's $7,500.
Then it's $15,000 and jail time.
Welcome to the authoritarian machine. The panopticon is real. Everyone knows where you,000 and jail time. Welcome to the authoritarian
machine. The panopticon is real. Everyone knows
where you are and they are coming for you.
And guess what? People are cheering for it.
So we have a correction, actually. I quoted
Padme. Padme
Rung. So this is how liberty
dies. Yeah, not democracy.
Liberty. With thunderous applause.
Yep.
Grace Fang says, y'all noticed after watching one of tim's
videos youtube marks it part watched or not watched at all showing up in my history but at
zero minutes watched for all weird yeah because youtube is you know suppressing my content if
it's just these videos it might just be because they're live streams that's my two cents these
maybe i don't know yeah toxic male gamer says play the division yeah rodal says tim why you give the
internet your feet oh i posted an instagram thing of me skating with barefoot oh yeah i don't care
what are they gonna do whatever and by the way this dude was doing that in like 20 degree weather
skate was skating around outside crazy what yeah i know yeah you're crazy i'm calling you out for
being crazy for skating when it was cold out barefoot barefoot so yeah you're crazy. I'm calling you out for being crazy. For skating when it was cold out? Barefoot. Barefoot.
So?
Yeah.
You're crazy.
All right.
I'm like, what's the big deal?
I don't know.
No, no, no.
There's no big deal.
Oh, this is interesting, too.
Check this out.
So we were just talking about how the price of goods were going up.
This guy says,
Pleb of Reason says milk price dropped over 30%,
20% below cost of production.
If this holds, farms will be going bankrupt, too.
Oh, yeah.
That's not good.
I don't understand how that could be, though, because everyone rated the milks.
The milk was just ripped apart from the stores.
The farms wouldn't go to business.
They would just need to grow something different.
Cheaper milk.
Maybe they could make milk by putting water.
Or oats.
This happened in Europe one time, and they had to kill the dairy cows you
know it's funny i interviewed a farmer uh-huh back when i was this was like in 2014 i think
2015 maybe and he was growing kale and i asked him i was like wow kale i hate kale do you have
you always grown kale he started laughing he was like no no no it's like one in one day all of a
sudden the order started going nuts we started making tons of money off this.
And it's because hipsters were all like, it's a superfood.
Got to eat your kale.
Kale was originally just garnish for Pizza Hut's salad bar.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then all of a sudden, these farmers were like, whoa, it's a gold mine.
Like, the demand was so insane, they all started growing it.
It's true.
I wouldn't be surprised if this leads to a few new uh developments like nutella for instance okay do
you know how nutella was invented no idea so for those that aren't familiar with the delicious
creamy chocolate treat that is nutella it is a chocolate hazelnut spread and it was because of
a chocolate shortage so the dude was like if i mix this with like a nut butter what could i do to
make chocolate bigger so we could take a little bit of chocolate and expand it to filler. Yeah. Manatella.
Hazelnuts and chocolate.
It's amazing.
Delicious.
If only they didn't put milk in it also.
Yeah, well.
You know?
So you can't have it.
But I think we're going to see something similar.
I wouldn't be surprised
if a lot of factories and farms
start going under.
We start seeing like,
you know,
oat milk hybrid
because it's cheaper
to just run oats
through a grinder with water
and then filter out the hard bits and mix it with milk to fluff it up.
Yeah.
Coconut milk.
That's my jam.
Yeah.
But I think we're going to see diluted product.
We're going to see different products.
People are going to try and save money.
Look, let's be real.
Grow your own food.
The economy before this was golden.
So, you know, we'll see.
I don't think we're going to go to the point where it's like the depression and we're trying to invent things to get by yeah scepter says good
omens is great if you haven't seen slash reddit i'll check it out so the tv show i don't know
maybe south thing says we won't have a country in two months it'll either be mad max or hunger
games in two years perhaps yes vanessa st says, Recommend that you become greedy YouTubers
and only read Super Chats over $10.
Yes, I see the irony here.
Yes, because that was a $5 Super Chat,
but I appreciate it.
Well, we try to read as many as we can,
and then we speed up by doing the bigger ones
just because we have too many,
and we probably have too many now.
Yeah.
Minmax says,
Buy some soap and get that gumbo off your shirt.
What?
Who?
Where? It's your button again. Oh, it's a button. Remember? It's a button that's shining? Yeah. MinMac says, buy some soap and get that gumbo off your shirt. What? Who? Where?
It's your button again.
Oh, it's a button.
It's a button that's shining.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The shirt's clean.
Why does it look like gumbo, though?
I don't get it.
Where does it look like gumbo?
It's the second time we've heard this.
I don't know.
Just say you got gumbo on your shirt.
Sorry, dude.
I guess.
Matt the Cat says, approximately how many people die from cancer-related illnesses every
year in the U.S.?
I don't know.
Do you know how many?
A lot? What causes cancer cancer that's the real question the issue with uh a lot of these other diseases people don't get is that when someone gets cancer they get a
treatment they go to the hospital they get you know chemo shot or pill or whatever it is they get
they go home and then they come back later for the follow-up treatments and then if they get
really bad then they're put in, you know, in the hospital.
With coronavirus, it's like one day you're walking around and then all of a sudden you're gasping and wheezing.
You collapse on a subway train and they bring you to the hospital.
And they're desperately trying to stop you from dying.
They may or may not even know how to treat it.
They think they know how to target cancer to some extent.
They have a few different treatments.
Yeah.
Dr. Doctor says, I talked to a buddy that works at Dallas Center as an ATC.
And he said, the plan now is to wait until people get sick and then shut down for 14 days.
Jan, thanks for coming to member.
Red Beard says, $15 million reward for capture and conviction of Maduro on drug trafficking and narco tourism.
We were talking about that earlier.
What are your thoughts?
Is that what they put out?
Yep.
Dang.
Yeah.
Barred it.
Is he still the president or no?
Maduro? Yeah. Yeah. As far as he still the president or no? Maduro?
Yeah.
Yeah, as far as I know.
The president of Venezuela.
This strikes me as very strange.
He's a leader of a foreign country.
Well, you know.
Replacing a $15 million ransom on the head of a foreign leader.
That is very interesting.
And you will see a coup in two seconds.
That is interesting.
We'll see, man.
They're already upset.
We're going to speed up and jump to, you know, try and go through the super chats faster.
Oh, wow.
It's 930 already. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was ranting a lot about the media. A few things in there. I had to do up and jump to, you know, try and go through the super chats faster. Oh, wow. Nine thirty. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was ranting a lot about the media.
I had to do it.
It was good.
Yeah, for sure.
I told you to.
Jason Martz says, love the show.
Tim, have you looked up Bill H.R.
Five seven one seven.
Can you write that down?
We need to do that.
So I did a little bit and it is a huge gun control thing.
And it's from a couple of years ago.
I want to say that the crazy one that bans handguns.
I believe so.
Or part of it got through,
I think.
Yeah.
Oof.
CC, thanks for becoming a member.
Benito says,
Tim, I've heard you talk about anime.
I highly suggest watching Log Horizon.
People get trapped in an MMORPG
and the main character
uses strategy to solve every problem
as 3 comes out this year.
Season 3.
Oh, cool.
Sounds fun.
Not Heisenbear says,
Positive.
Timcast IRL launches
and provides valuable information
and perspective in a crisis.
We weren't trying to provide anyone
with valuable perspective.
We were trying to complain about movies.
We were watching Sonic the Hedgehog.
We went to the AMC.
We saw Sonic the Hedgehog.
We were like,
Sonic the Hedgehog was a great movie.
How much fun?
Wasn't it cool when, you know,
Tails came out and blah, blah, blah.
And it's like,
oh, I can't wait for the next movie.
Yeah.
We'll just have to go see the next one.
One week later, the world is ending.
It was not to be.
No.
Paxton Fairbank says, grass is good for the kids to play on.
It acts as a nice mat for kids to roughhouse on.
Grass is good.
I do like grass.
That's true.
Go to a handy redneck.
Grass was a social status in the old world.
If you were wealthy and powerful, you did not have to grow food and get dirty.
Interesting.
Now we're all wealthy.
Just David says, the media is making this bigger.
It's not good.
It's contagious and high mortality rate.
But we live with more debilitating and deadly disease and hazard.
We are not used to this.
We are atrophied and need to rebuild muscles.
That's what I was saying.
It's very true we can't
we can't it's like i i feel like like you know one day oh remember that story i told you about
the wolf the family was on the beach and the wolf showed up and they ran out they swam out to the
ocean to a rock and were huddling freezing terrified of the wolf that's what i'm like dude
wolves are out there yep 100 years ago 200 years, the guy would have drawn his sword and been like, stay back, family.
Come at me, beast.
Or, you know, I'm kidding.
Oh, no.
This is a very accurate depiction.
They knew the dangers.
Yeah.
And people died all the time.
But now that we're so safe, everyone walked.
Nobody has weapons for the most part.
People walk around in just like loose, thin cotton shirts.
No leather, no hide, no mail, nothing, no nothing no protection yeah and they don't expect anything to happen so when it does
they panic and they hide in their bedroom and slam the door and lock it of course uh chainmail
wouldn't have done much to a deadly virus pandemic no no but what i mean is i know those are 200 300
years ago people would be like he's got you know or what is it like? You ever see that movie with Tombstone?
Yeah.
He's got the consumption.
You know, tuberculosis.
I think it was tuberculosis, right?
The consumption.
Yeah.
And so.
Doc Holliday.
And people would die.
Now it's like we have this, you know, deadly disease and people immediately run inside,
slam the doors shut and start huddling in fear.
Now, I mean that I'm somewhat, you know, I'm being somewhat hyperbolic, but at what point
do we recognize that we can't control everything and these things are going to happen? We can't
all hide from this. I don't know. I don't know what to do. Fortunately, I work from home and I
don't have to go out into the world and get any crazy diseases. Yeah, I was talking to a buddy
of mine. We're lucky, man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's keep it moving mark g says i'm making a liberty garden in my yard
just in case the lockdown gets worse if the lockdown doesn't then i'll have fresh veggies
win-win correct mimic what people did during world war one yeah well i want chickens but
you can't legally have them here i am angry yeah we had chickens in miami we did fresh eggs every
morning glorious and the chickens were more than happy to be like, pick them up and they'd just look at you.
And then we would eat them.
And they ate their own eggs too.
It's kind of gross.
That's bad.
They're not supposed to do that.
Oh, no.
They need calcium.
No, it's like I was reading about it's a bad habit.
Basically, the chickens will learn to do it and it's a really bad thing.
So you got to go in there and make sure you take the eggs away.
But something happened where like I think when one of the animals broke in,
and, like, one of the eggs broke, and they started eating it or something.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot that we had that animal break in.
Those dogs, man.
The dogs.
The dogs kept coming in and trying to kill our chickens, and they did kill some of them.
That's BS, man.
Yeah.
My chickens are my friends.
All right, let's read on.
But we can't have them here in Jersey.
CDW says,
Even if we do bring manufacturing
back, politicians will bring the Chinese workers with it. My company stopped hiring local grads
and only hires H1B PhDs for jobs that only require associate's degrees. Yeah, we can't do that
either. Student of History says, I think we need to buy time till we have a viable option of fighting
back. If X, if the hydrochloroquine azithromycin
tests come back good or when we get the ventilator production up. Yeah. Clear Smash says, hey, Tim,
just wanted to show some support. Stay safe. Appreciate it. Red Leg says, welcome to the
division plotline IRL. Glad I had stuff ready. Stay safe and keep doing what you do. Will do.
Paxton says, it doesn't matter how bad the virus is. We will muddle on through. It will be hard,
but we are strong and we'll survive. Now is the time for the concept of serenity to make a comeback.
Greg Wolf, there is a story from Weimar, Germany that goes, a lady took her wheelbarrow full of
money to the store to buy bread. She went inside and someone dumped the money and stole the
wheelbarrow. That's great. Gary Wildly says, I'm an electrician in Michigan.
We only have essential workers working. And today I had a first. I had someone call the
cops on me for just working. I never thought a day like that would happen. Wow. Yeah, man.
Like the people in Jersey had friends over and all the neighbors called the police.
Dude, when the authoritarian nightmare comes, that people are going to clap and cheer for it.
It's going to be like 1984.
Stephen Coombs says,
I enjoy the show.
Keep it up.
You guys mentioned the wonder chicken last night.
Today, a new carnivorous feathered dinosaur
from New Mexico was published.
It's called Dino Bellator.
Check it out.
That's what we were looking at.
Yeah, we're just looking at the same thing.
The Hylian VoIP technology,
voice over IP,
theory regarding Chinese phones
is that people are destroying them or shutting them off to hide.
Unlikely 21 million die that fast.
Phone ownership is mandatory in China.
Whoa, what?
Really?
It's mandatory?
I never heard that.
That's scary.
I didn't know that it was the ownership that was mandatory.
I knew that if you got the phone, you had to like get facial recognition and like register who you are and where you live.
Why not? Make everybody have a phone. Yikes, man. Wow. Carrie, thanks for becoming a member. You had to get facial recognition and register who you are and where you live and all that crazy stuff.
Make everybody have a phone.
Yikes, man.
Wow.
Carrie, thanks for becoming a member.
Thank you.
Laowai says, hey, man.
I heard we were mentioned.
Would love to come on the show.
Let me know.
I think you were.
Indeed, and I'm already in touch with you.
We'll figure it out.
But here's the thing.
We don't really do Skype.
We don't really set up for Skype stuff.
And we were actually bringing people down to the show to come on.
And we even set up this big empty space in between us.
There's supposed to be someone here.
And now we're quarantined in the apocalypse and we can't have people over.
Gothic says, hey Tim, there's an anime called Sword Art Online where players use a helmet called Dive Gear where all the controls are your brain.
Seems like the future of gaming as far as I can tell.
I can't wait.
We are familiar with this.
Yes.
I'm excited.
I gotta charge up the VR thing.
Have you ever played the Space Pirates game?
The Quest Space Pirates?
I don't think so.
Oh, dude.
It's amazing.
Cool.
It's very simple.
It's an arcade game, little robots,
and you're like...
Yeah, and you can get an electromagnet
and grab them and throw them.
It's fun.
Cool.
We'll set it up.
Yeah, I like VR.
Like Fry says, have you heard the rumors about Advil and Tylenol that Advil makes Corona
worse and Tylenol is safe to use?
A lot of people I know are freaking out over this.
Can you look into whether these rumors are true or not?
Interesting.
I don't know because there's a lot of conflicting information.
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
So I'm not going to say anything because I don't want anybody to hurt.
I don't know.
All right.
Greg says, hey, Tim, uh laowai 86 is in your
chat asking to do a video with you he and serpents do great videos on china reach out to him okay
thanks we will uh you are excellent i am already bv says earn it act likely just the beginning of
sneaky government overreach during a crisis and we need and we all need to be especially vigilant
right now remember the patriot act was written and shelved years before 9-11 whoa do uh duder thanks for coming
a member thanks excellent and we'll scroll down paul duffy thanks for the super chat
paul's oh it just jumped on us i love it when it does that so as i'm scrolling up and looking to
try and figure out where our super chats went i will explain to you what's happening youtube loads
all the super chats at once and then the entire feed just blinks. And I'm like, okay.
Paul says, I've had to lay off all my employees. Our company is making $0 for the first time in
120 years. We can get back to work. I have a video on my page about how. Please let me know what you
think. We'll take a look at it. Kaj says, when the crisis is over, China must pay reparations to the entire world for releasing
this plague upon the planet.
They must be made an example of so that something like this never happens again.
They should not have lied.
They should not have withheld information.
And they traced the first case back to November.
If we knew then, this could have all been avoided.
Agreed.
We could have done a semi-lockdown for a short period of time.
It would have stopped in its tracks.
Yep.
All right.
Team Gas says, seek truth.
Appreciate the super chat.
Shire says, China holds $1 trillion in U.S. bonds.
We can tell them to pound sand and cancel these bonds.
We hold a $1 trillion gun to their head.
Yikes.
Nonservium says, someone pointed out to me that
during the government shutdown a while back, a bunch of activist rallies suddenly got canceled.
And now because of this whole pandemic, you see less activism on the internet.
Coincidence? I think not. Perhaps a coincidence. The issue is that activism won't be effective
right now because no one will care. We are still seeing these stupid articles where they're like,
you know, but my bigotry. If activists, first first of all they can't go out right now we're under quarantine
if they did everyone would screech them and it would be a huge net negative for their cause
true you right like this is why trump's approval is skyrocketing nobody cares about you know
your weird whatever we don't we just don't want to die super guy 88 says the beanies should say
it's complicated oh we'll have a variety of beanies.
Actually, you know what?
On that note, what do you guys want on the beanies?
I actually have a few ideas.
I'm working with an artist to do some cool TimCast IRL stuff for us.
But, yeah, what should we do?
I mean, it's complicated.
That's on the list already.
And, I mean, really the number one thing i want to do is emulate that what he's
got on his head the actual tim cast beanie yeah the original the original not the original well
but it's going to be instead of dc it'll be tp oh that's not gonna work tim cast well tim pool
all right we'll do that all right all right i can't tim cast mabe says or maybe just irl
anyway go ahead will china the ccp
be punished for the coronavirus or the leaders of the world will just ignore it like what happened
in sars outbreak years ago which is which also came from chinese wet market nothing's gonna
happen they're gonna do anything to them right debbie thanks for becoming a member derrick as
well thanks for joining aaron larson says tim a heads up for y'all i have all notifications on
for this channel and i subscribed but subscribed but youtube still isn't sending me notifications when you go live anymore that's
what i was talking about in this way for four days now look into it yeah well adam wasn't even
getting i'm trying to figure it out myself because i have my computer here and when i sit down and he
logs it up i'm i try to get it prepped and ready and i don't get i'm subscribed i you know welcome
to youtube the bell sometimes it works. That's the weird part.
Sometimes it'll be like, boom, it's there.
I click the bell and it pops up right away.
But I would say 75% of the time, nothing happens.
It's annoying.
All right, let's see what we got.
Let's keep moving.
Hydro Homie says,
Will the inevitable inflation coming to the U.S. global economy
with the inevitable inflation?
Do you believe that untraceable cryptos such as Monero, Zcash, PIVX, etc. will retain its value and
possibly be used as the main currency? I'm not sure. I'm not particularly bullish on them
necessarily because there's too many different ones. And they're based on a system that we're spoiled with we have to remember what if the
internet goes down what if electricity goes out you know even if it's for a little bit if that's
your main source of of currency what are you going to do you know if you got your personal
handle device but if electricity goes out yeah exactly what are you going to do challenging
grow food that's the true currency for the future if this does hit the fan yeah
no one cares thanks for coming to member thank you eman bell says i've watched about every video
you've put out every day for the last year but i've never had one appear in my up next feed oh
they got rid of it yeah it doesn't they they pulled me out it's ridiculous that's why i always
say you gotta subscribe hit the like button whatever this is a new channel yeah hit that
like button for hopefully you know yeah hit the like leor engelstein says my two cents some good changes
that i hope will come from this one manufacturing moving away from china two bonds bought by china
will not be paid by the world not just usa oh man that would be brutal for them yeah the moen says
so jesus and lydia can you talk can you talk your position on private ownership of guns?
And Tim,
are you now considering
purchasing a gun?
I love it.
Well, I don't own a gun,
but I wish I did.
I want to get one.
That's it.
What do you think about gun control?
I think you should be vetted.
And if you're clear,
you should get a gun.
Background checks?
Yeah, why not not they just shut
them down you can't buy one now yeah that's all they have to do is say oh oh gosh background
this is what they did with pot yeah in the turn of the century they said okay we won't ban the
sale of pot but you need to buy from the government approved stamps for the purchase of the pot okay
but we don't sell stamps anymore yep that's the that's the loophole because
everyone says oh that's no big deal so i'm actually in favor of background checks not anymore
yeah for this reason i mean you just pointed out i i don't want any government to have control over
if i can get one or not because i i would like to go get one dude if they're gonna say i'm sorry uh
we're not doing it right now because we don't do background checks anymore forever.
And it's like, okay, I'm going to have an issue with that.
This pandemic stuff has pushed me right on several issues, notably like 2A.
Yeah.
And, you know, initially I was always fairly tepid on most things.
I lean a little to the left.
I've always been like background checks make sense.
It just does it does and i even went and did an interview with this like this uh this weapons
trainer for like uh local police and he's like a top tier like shooting competitor and he said we
got problems with non-nationalized like non-uniform background checks like you can go to one state
and in a short amount of time actually get a gun and then you can take it to another state where you can't have it.
It's like you can't have these rules.
They don't make sense.
There's a lot of problems with it.
Like if you're a legal gun owner and you drive to the wrong state on a vacation, you can't
do it.
You'll go to prison.
So there's got to be something uniform everyone can understand.
And we make sure that crazy people can't try and source guns from other areas.
One of the things they do in Chicago is there will be people because the Indiana border
is right there. Someone from Indiana will buy it and then mark it up like they'll give to the guy from
Chicago illegally. So there's there's issues. The problem now is after, you know, after seeing,
you know, these arguments where it's like, hey, it makes sense. You should be able to do that.
What happened in a major crisis where now more than ever people are realizing the need self
defense? The government just goes, oh, by the way, we're not going to process background checks anymore.
Effectively illegalizing the purchase of all guns.
Yeah, that's not okay.
Right.
And you even see some governors trying to shut down gun shops.
That's nuts to me.
You can see how much power they try and grab as soon as the crisis starts.
And because of that desperate attempt at power, it makes me recoil in the other direction.
Like, nah, now I'm very much like, nope. I feel like that's happening a lot.
Yeah. On a lot of things. Yeah. Dude, on immigration, conservatives have been proven
right. Not, not like, I don't want to say like in every aspect of it, because there's a lot of
people who are very extreme on it. Yeah. But Trump trying to secure the borders now more than ever,
we, we, we know why it's important to do. And they're, and they try and claim like,
but a wall
won't stop a virus no but it'll stop the people from illegally entering who have the virus yeah
it's not a simple simple thing 10 years ago democrats were all in favor of border barriers
interesting as soon as trump says it they're like not for me anymore yeah but uh what do you what
about you you you were asked as well what you think on 2A. I'm pretty strongly 2A. All right. Well, there you go.
There you go.
June F says, Division 2, still waiting on that Minecraft stream.
Oh, yeah.
Alex, thanks for the super chat.
Vasht said, haha, you thought they got top hats.
I'm not sure what that is a reference to.
Neither do I.
Don't know.
Bunch of super chats just popped in right now.
Here we go.
Thanks, everyone.
Thank you, everyone.
Micro Colonel says, PM Trudeau apparently was bragging
about sending all of our PPE to China
after they already banned
the export of PPE from their country.
Now we have a lot less than we could have,
and China will not be sending any our way.
Not surprising.
Bobcat says,
book review suggestion,
New York collapse.
It was written as a supplement
to the game The Division,
but most of it is actually valid
and has good puzzles.
Cool. Moldavi says, thank you for reading my super chat. God bless. Stay safe. You do great work. We can get people back to work. We need it too. I detail a plan in that vid. All
right. Mr. Paul R says, Nancy Nero Pelosi watched while America burned. Tim, Soy Jesus and Lydia,
stay safe. Depend on you for part of my daily updates.
We are number one in something we don't want number one to be number one in reported coronavirus cases.
Yep.
Yeah, that's true.
And thank you.
Jay.
Yeah, says, Hi, Tim.
I'm an in in intensivist ICU doc been watching you for two years now.
Really appreciate your insight and coverage that MSM doesn't include from both sides.
Thank you for getting good info about this pandemic. Please, people, take heed and be safe. Wash your hands. And you should be
washing your hands anyway. Yeah, dude, please. We're wrong for sure. John Monk says the military
is going to have is going is going to going to have to have a huge is going to have a huge
outbreak soon. Yikes. Yeah, that's the military is going to have a huge outbreak soon. Necroside says,
for the Tylenol thing,
my sister works as an RN
at one of our major local hospitals
and was officially warned about ibuprofen use
and the use of Tylenol instead.
Ibuprofen increases cytokines.
Is that how you say it?
Yeah, it's called a cytokine storm.
Ah.
It's an immune response.
Yikes.
So avoid ibuprofen?
Yeah.
Well, ask your doctor doctor don't get advice
from your your commentary shows that was a question yeah that i just i was asking yeah
the legendary legendary masamune says hey guys love the podcast i was curious to ask i have
youtube premium but for some reason these streams and even the recorded version you put up i can't
play with my phone locked while working do you know why this is i don't because i can i don't know i don't know either so yeah when you when i open the app and i press
play on the show i can close my phone and it works some people are having problems with this
and i have no idea youtube is just i've never been able to close my phone and have it work
if you have premium you can oh it's a special feature interesting all right let's see uh
exquisite corpse says why not do a contest for us to design your beanies
well because you know to make the beanie legit you can't we can't have too much on it
yeah i i have a very simple i have a pretty solid idea of what i want so there might be a few
things with just a couple of his catchphrases maybe just like the various ones so jesus
so i saw you this? I'm just kidding.
I don't know.
Well, who knows?
Well, maybe you make one.
I don't know if people want a soy Jesus beanie.
I'm sure they would.
You got to buy both.
Collect them all.
Yeah, that's great.
Every month we'll put like a one slash, you know, like X, like limited edition pressing.
Yeah.
Things like that.
Dude, this is going to be so fun.
Legit designer beanies.
Yeah, man.
Tovin says, and now you know why small government is paramount to maintain your freedoms.
Oh, you know it, baby.
Oh, yeah.
Small government.
AJ Starhiker, I know a guy who will not drive to Chicago because he won't leave his gun behind.
He's also an instructor for competitive shooting, and they have to be careful about traveling to tourneys.
Beetle, thanks for becoming a member.
Thank you.
Travis Potter says, Soy Jesus, what do you think about hunting?
Is it more respectable when someone takes part in the entire process of getting meat instead of paying for the murder?
Absolutely.
A hundred percent.
I actually have nothing against hunters.
They, people that go out and kill the animal themselves and harvest it themselves.
Like, all right, you're living off the land.
Yeah.
All right.
You're not paying someone else to do it.
You don't know where it came from, but if you're a hunter, more power power to you i'm sure there's vegans out there that are hating me for that but that's
that's fine i well they're health vegans they do it for the health there's some do it for animal
rights that's true and i do it for me you know i'm not doing it for anyone else sure i talk about it
but you know i think it's relevant in certain situations but if you're going out to the woods
and you're taking the time to find an
animal and hunt it yourself and you're harvesting yourself that's how that's how humans have done
it for a long time hunting is important to control some yeah i mean i lived i lived in chicago for a
while and there's there's places where the deer would would overrun some areas and they needed
hunters to go take the deer out so if you're gonna just go kill deer for no reason just because it's
like okay but if you're going out there and you're gonna just go kill deer for no reason just because it's like okay but
if you're going out there and you're actually helping and you know feeding your like one deer
can feed you know a lot of people that oh i knew it due to a deer it was crazy yeah it's like you
know what yeah there's a reason why there's a season for it and why it's regulated and stuff
yeah they they are they do regulate very well so so uh aj's comment about driving through chicago
i wanted to mention i actually met a dude who was driving through Chicago,
driving through Illinois.
He had guns in his trunk,
got pulled over,
searched the vehicle.
That's it.
Prison.
It's all over.
Prison.
Dang.
Yep.
He was passing through.
He's from LA or something.
And he was like,
they're mine.
And they were like,
it doesn't matter.
There was a woman from,
I think,
Tennessee with a legal permit for a revolver. She went to
the Sears Tower, now Willis Tower, as a tourist.
She's an old lady. She's like 63.
And when she was going in,
there was a metal detector and she said, oh, can I leave
my weapon here? And they were like,
prison. And she
got prison time. Hard prison for
an old woman who was from Tennessee who was legally
owning a weapon. That's insane.
Yeah.
Martin says, we need to treat the Chinese like we treat the USSR.
They are the enemy of free men across the world.
Bro Cody says, we need a beanie with the Tim quote, listen, man.
Well, there's a bunch of different quotes, you know.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
That's one of them, too.
Yeah, that's the one, yeah.
All right.
Travis Potter says, I like you much more now.
There you go.
Mr. Paul R. says, Lydia, Soy Jesus and Tim Pool beanies of them, too. Yeah, that's the one, yeah. All right. Travis Potter says, I like you much more now. There you go. Mr. Paul R. says, Lydia, Soy Jesus, and Tim Pool Beanies.
You got it.
Oh, that was for me.
They like me much more.
Right, yeah.
Oh, well, I appreciate that.
Thank you.
And now for some non-world-ending, non-political fun news.
Oh, thank the soy.
Good news for lazy joggers.
That makes no sense.
Good news for lazy joggers. That makes no sense. Good news, everyone. Scientists develop ankle exoskeleton that makes running 14% easier than in normal sports shoes.
So apparently Nike Shoes funded this research, and they developed some kind of exo-Ironman type.
Look at this.
It begins.
It begins.
This is the start.
So here's the thing. Oh, this is cool. Here's the thing. I want to run faster the the start so here's here's here's the thing
oh this is cool here's the thing i want to run faster i know right let me tell you the thing
here's the thing there's a thing another beanie idea what makes iron man tony stark a superhero
is that he as one person developed all of these things very very quickly right we in real life
in a cave in well no no he made a weird bonkers the first the first iron man i know right he did
but he's like a crappy suit he went home and he was like yeah yeah so what do we have right now we got a
guy who can fly yeah and now we got a guy who can run oh we got to bring these things together
and then we're gonna have the real suit but let's let's be honest like if you wore an iron man suit
and someone hit you with like a mortar shell you're gonna die. I don't know what his suit's made of.
I know.
Because there's that scene in the first one
where he's flying and the tank fires the artillery shell.
And every Iron Man, he gets shot against the wall
and it's just like, boom!
I'm okay.
He's fine, yeah.
I'm okay.
It's like, well, what about your brain?
Your brain is still sitting in fluid.
And if it hits the back, you're going to get a concussion.
I just assume that Iron Man has some kind of maglev-like force field that absorbs.
Force-dampening adamantium.
Oh, inertial dampeners.
Yeah, right.
Like in Star Trek.
Yeah, the inertial dampeners.
So check this out.
How the ankle exoskeleton works.
Now, it's just the ankle, so the story is kind of a letdown, but it's still pretty cool.
We can run better.
I actually bought these things.
They were advertised to me on Instagram.
They're these spring-loaded knee braces.
Oh, man. I've seen those.
They don't work.
I heard that they didn't work.
Because it creates a weird obstruction in your knee when you bend them.
And it just feels weird.
It actually feels worse.
But the idea is interesting.
So there are these things that you strap them onto your knees, and in the back
there's a spring.
And it's like plastic, and then when it
bends, it resists. All I can think is that
you're an Instagram sucker.
Yeah? I buy
so much stuff off Instagram to give you an idea.
They have cool ads, dude. Look at that UFO.
The UFO thing is from Instagram?
No, no, no. Switch to us.
That UFO I saw on Instagram.
It took a long time to get here, too.
It's pretty cool. We forgot about it.
And then it turned up and we were like, oh my goodness.
It's a lamp? I gotta be honest, though.
I like the globe better.
No, I like the UFO better.
You know what? We should have a vote.
Now look at it. It's spinning.
Obviously, there's two against one, but I'm talking about
you guys out there. What do you think? The globe or the UFO?
Shout out in the comments.
At me in the comments if you want the globe.
And then at Tim if you like the UFO.
That is cool. It's floating and spinning.
It can play music.
Yeah, I read it's a speaker.
And it's charging while it's floating.
That's awesome. I'm it. It's a speaker. And it's charging while it's floating. That's awesome.
I'm not saying it's not cool.
Anyway, back to the exoskeletons.
So let's see.
They say couch potatoes trying to get in shape could one day be helped along their fitness journey
by an ankle exoskeleton that makes it easier and less tiring to run.
Okay, I'm going to stop you right there.
If you don't like running, don't do it. It's it it's not gonna make you run listen that's what i was thinking
you've got to develop good habits no one's gonna run with these if they don't like running if you
don't like running you're not gonna run you know you know i like skateboarding i i actually do like
running because there is a point where you kind of get the endorphins running and you go into like this spacey cloud space and it's it's actually pretty great i like free running but i do like skating
over over running well so so here's the thing i'm gonna always go skate instead doing something you
don't want to do is very difficult okay and you need community support to get into something so
like if you're somebody who wants if you're a lazy catch potato and you want to get into running
find some people to run with and and and hang out with them and you need to build that community for me skateboarding is a very solitary thing i skate because i want to yeah some people
skate because they want to be with their friends but when i go out i'm not like it's time to
exercise we're gonna go skate no it's like i want to skate i just happen to be getting exercise
so what what what are the real benefits of this exoskeleton?
I don't know.
Military capabilities?
Nah.
You don't think so?
I don't think so.
Why not?
14% energy reduction?
Because the military is going to use robots.
They're not leaning to make humans go out there with like super suits to run faster.
This is just someone who, you know, is coming up with something that's, you know,
it is kind of cool,
but what's the application to this?
It's not going to be the military.
The military wants robots.
They don't want to lose humans.
That's why they're studying gamers' brains.
They're studying people who control, like, StarCraft,
kind of like, you know, sending masses
and understanding the flow of battle to do robots, not superhumans.
That's not happening.
I'm actually a bit bummed.
Apparently these tethers are like mounted to motors that go into your suit.
Yeah, sure.
This is the start.
Right.
So maybe they'll wear a backpack at some point.
But the other thing is what they're arguing, like they're saying, you know,
eventually a version will be created to help runners on a treadmill save an average of 24 percent more energy
i thought the goal of running what i thought the goal of running on a treadmill was to burn energy
yeah exactly what what is the point of this what is this feels like wasted research no no i think
so what's the point of this what is the reason if we? If we can make simple exosuits to increase...
There was one guy.
He's got one.
It's a hydraulic suit.
Okay.
And he was able to lift ridiculously heavy things with it.
Interesting.
So that makes sense to me.
Yeah.
That has some applications.
Outside just simply running.
It's like hydraulic bars with a hook at the end.
And he would hook it around stuff and lift 100, 200 pound weights.
Dope. Right. Well, this makes can run you can save energy when you run where are you running what maybe you got a job and you got to
run maybe you're uh oh yeah maybe you're what job what's who's who's who's the guy who ran the
marathon oh they're gonna allow this in the marathon no yeah exactly remember remember that
guy what what's the origin of the marathon? Who did it? I have no idea.
I would never run a marathon.
The marathon originated because some dude had to
run 26 miles or something
in ancient Rome.
And then he ran as fast as he could to deliver this message.
Oh, that's right.
One of the gods had
the wings on his feet. Was that him?
That's Mercury? Hermes?
Hermes. I don't know.
That's like the story of the marathon or whatever.
No idea.
There are people who have to run
in certain environments.
Right now, we don't have
Boston Dynamics-style robots to go
and fight. Yeah, you know what? The people who
are in civilizations that
need to run are
super fit. Their muscles are used to running and they're
they're like they were like oh yeah run in the store like it would take more time for me to be
strapped up in this stuff to then go there i could just run and get there and get the thing and come
back before you're even you're like halfway there even though you run faster you still gotta i don't
know just like let's say it's like... What are we talking about?
This is like Iron Man stuff.
It's like level one.
We're just getting started, baby.
I know.
I agree.
I just want to see some real applications.
You ever see Mario Brothers, the movie?
Yeah.
Remember when they put those things on their legs
and make them jump really high?
Yeah.
That wouldn't work, but what if it could?
I mean, it's the same thing we talked about earlier.
You fly up real high, and you fall and die.
Right, right, right.
It's like, we're human.
Well, so, but here's the idea, though.
That's supposed to be.
The idea is that you have these things on your legs.
Okay.
That have stored energy in, like, a spring or some kind of, you know, I don't know, piston.
I have no idea.
Sure.
And right when you jump, it releases at the same time, giving you an extended jump.
When you land, it absorbs energy and compresses it back down and clicks in.
Sure, okay.
But if you mess up.
If you mess up.
You'll be flipping and going like, ah, ah, and you die.
Or hitting somebody, running into something.
But hey, man, look.
That's a mess.
I've seen football players just running, and then they tear their ACL.
But I've also seen the stupidity of humans.
Very prevalent as of late.
And people will have access to this kind of thing.
They'll be like bouncing around.
I don't want to see that.
Do you know the story of Spring-Heeled Jack?
No, thanks.
What is it?
Spring-Heeled Jack.
Spring-Heeled Jack.
No, I don't.
Yeah.
Spring-Heeled Jack is an entity in English folklore of the Victorian era.
The first claimed sighting of Spring-Heeled Jack was in 1837.
There are many theories about the nature and identity of Spring-Heeled Jack. The urban legend
was very popular in its time due to the tales of his bizarre appearance and ability to make
extraordinary leaps to the point that he became the topic of several works of fiction.
Spring-Heeled Jack was described by people who claimed to have seen him as having a terrifying and frightful appearance with diabolical physio physiognomy, clawed hands and eyes that resembled red balls
of fire. One report claimed that beneath a black cloak, he wore a helmet and a tight fitting white
garment like an oil skin. Many stories also mentioned a devil like aspect. Others said he
was tall and thin with the appearance of a gentleman.
Several reports mentioned that he could breathe out
blue and white flames. Okay, this is just getting
absurd. Yeah, wasn't opium
really heavy and prevalent back then?
I see it. I see it. People are on
crazy drugs. Pretty sure people were drinking
absinthe. Look, mass hysteria.
Put it right there.
So, my general understanding of why they call him
Spring-Heeled Jack was that the assumption was he had some kind of things in his boots and he could jump really
high yeah and there were stories that like they he would be being chased and then he would just
jump on top of a building have you ever seen uh what's that movie uh brothers grim i think it is
no i think it's heath ledger and matt damon yeah and And they just like they're the Grimm brothers who like kill the demons or whatever.
And it's all a hoax.
They got like springboards set up to convince the people that they're doing these amazing
things.
But it's all just like smoke and mirrors.
It's like that's the that's the that's the reality of ninjas.
You know that is it?
So I didn't know that.
That's cool.
I'm not I'm not a ninja expert, but I have read one or two Reddit articles when they popped up.
And I was reading how they would try to create the perception of having magic powers.
So people would avoid fighting them.
So one of the things they would do is before...
They're assassins, right?
They wouldn't dress in all black.
That's from theater.
They would wear regular clothes of regular people so they could blend in.
Makes sense.
But let's say there was like a building and they had to assassinate somebody.
Okay.
They would prepare for the escape.
So in the pond, in the lake next to it, they would put wooden beams.
And then after they assassinated their target and were fleeing and being chased.
You run across the lake.
They would run across the lake and people would stop and be like demons yeah when they were really
just jumping from log to log yeah yeah so it was all about trickery and deception well not always
but that's one of the things they would do you create you know so maybe the spring-heeled jack
guy was just some some dude who preset maybe it was a board in the ground of the spring yeah and
he would run and hit it and it would bounce him in the air
and they'd be like, how did he do that? Not realizing.
Whoa, he's spring-heeled.
Yeah. But I dig
the old urban legend. He's like
jumping around. He's like
the original Batman.
Yeah, for real. Look at this guy. That's very cool.
He looks kind of flamboyant.
It's his tight white pants.
It's literally the Batman and the Joker together.
Look at his smile.
It kind of does.
Look at his face.
I like that.
You know how I got these scars?
My boots.
I jumped really high and fell down onto a fence post.
Right in his mouth.
Oh, gosh.
Well, anyway, I don't know.
Do you have any final thoughts on the coming...
Oh, that's the wrong story.
Do you have any final thoughts on the coming... I don't know. Do you have any final thoughts on the coming? Oh, that's the wrong story. Do you have any final thoughts on the coming?
I don't know.
All I can think is the beanies are coming soon.
There we go.
I'm so stoked.
Don't buy spring heels.
Don't buy exoskeleton suits.
Buy beanies.
Prepare beanies for all.
For beanies.
The full collection.
Beanies for some.
Have you wanted to become a beanie bro?
Well, soon you'll have your chance
Tim cast IRL beanie coming to you soon
Soon yes, and these are gonna be like made in America made in America and packaged by a regular himself
Yeah, I'm doing this magic. Oh, Jesus. I'll even sign them for you
Yeah, maybe no we should put like cards in too and stuff like that.
Yeah.
Make it a little package.
Some commons.
You know what we should do?
Put a magic card in there?
No, we should make gag magic cards.
Okay.
And the beanies can come with magic cards.
Oh, my gosh. That's a great idea.
I'm thinking of a game.
Like you, me.
Oh, right.
Maybe we should make cancel culture cards.
Well, I mean, i guess we can kind of
let people know we're working on it everybody knows we're working on it oh they do yeah oh
i've talked about it a lot yeah we talked about it on the show oh sure we're working on a card
game it's called cancel culture yep we're working on a game and the the goal of the it's a card game
it's it's going to be simplified we're we're trying to work out ways to stop it from becoming
a rich person's game like a lot lot of games, even Pokemon Magic, cards
become ridiculously expensive. We're getting rid of all that.
We want a game where you can pop up in the box
and you can play with your friends and it's really funny
because the goal of the game
is that you are trying to cancel
your opponent. Yep. Cancel culture, baby.
So it's basically just a bunch
of pop culture references and
the gag is, you know,
you'll have a character who's like
peter jordanson fighting against you know rojo gen rojo gen or wet breinstein i mean these are
really really poorly thought out gag names but we're working on like making a very silly parody
everyone will get torn apart no one is safe i will say toilet girl is a thing toilet girl
and and that's the goal for the expansions is to actually just make like when stories come out, there's viral moments.
We'll make cards for these things.
Yeah.
And but, you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I want to say one thing about it.
We're going to make fun of everybody.
Oh, yeah.
We're going to make fun of me.
We're going to make fun of feminists.
Everyone will get torn apart.
No one will be spared.
But, of course, I guarantee you
one side of this
is going to laugh at all of the
mockery, and the other side is going to say
it's bigotry, and it's sexist,
and it's, you know, all the awful things.
It's alt-right or whatever.
Whatever. We're channeling our inner George Carlin.
I also want to design a chess set.
A culture war chess set. Okay.
Where the pawns on one side are a bunch of
like fat neckbeards with katanas and
like fedoras and dusters.
And then the pawns on the other side are big fat
mohawk feminists. And like
just make like a chess board for the culture war would be funny.
I'll leave that to you. But we are working on a card game.
It's going to be really fun. Yeah. To simplify
what we're trying to do is it's just going to be pop culture.
So it'll be really funny to have Kathy Griffin
you know trying to get Joe Rogan banned from the internet and you're going at it
and like you know things like that just silliness parody making fun of people making fun of this
whole this whole culture war stuff yep we're working on it now it's coming so uh well we'll
see how long it takes you know we we we do a lot of things but maybe maybe soon so uh let's uh let's
just grab the last few super chats and then we will sign off for the night.
But for now, we're still here.
So make sure you hit that Like button.
Subscribe and hit the notification bell if you haven't already.
And get your Super Chats in, because we're going to be about 10 more minutes.
So let's see what we got.
AJ says, my hometown had a special bow hunt season to handle both deer and turkey overpopulation.
We had, what's a group of turkeys called?
A rafter.
A rafter.
A rafter. A rafter of turkeys in front of our house oh really yeah a lot it was like what like 10 or 12 yeah
you sent me a picture gobbling about why i can hear because of red dead redemption 2 i can hear
the warble of a turkey have you ever seen that video where the guy pulls up to all the turkeys
and then goes and then all the turkeys yell back, but it is kind of funny to think about how many animals I've
killed in that game.
I'm a vegan. Yep. It's just like, every
time I'm like, oh yeah, perfect corpse.
It's gonna make me so much money.
Jmax says, my buddy in the
AF had corona-like symptoms
and his PCM said it was most likely a cold
or allergies and sent him back to the shop.
It's just anecdotal experience, but some military
doctors are not competent
trained enough to handle this pandemic
if it hits our bases hard. Yikes, man.
I will also mention real quick, too, before we sign off,
make sure you follow us. You can follow me there.
You can follow Adam up there. Hey, follow me
right there. That's me. That's my
tag. And you can send Adam
story ideas and stuff. It's true.
Yeah, and we've actually picked up some of them
and talked about them. That's also true. Gundanium says, do you think the supply chain, such as truck drivers,
are at risk of severe infection by asymptomatic carriers through truck shops and travel?
Yes, of course. Yeah. I mean, a lot of travel makes the spread, you know.
Graboid says, I disagree with you on a lot of stuff, but at the same time,
you are constant with your views. That is one reason I respect you and watch your channels.
But to be fair, like, you know, people's views change.
If you go to, if you go back a couple of years, you might see me complaining about,
you know, guns.
I'm going to be like, no, I think we should definitely have gun control for these reasons.
Yeah.
And then for reasons I've explained today, I've definitely moved right on the issue.
Yeah.
It's funny because Joe Rogan's definitely to the left of me economically.
Okay.
But to the right of me a lot on 2A.
And now I'm coming around on 2A, but I'm not as far left as him in economics.
And people can change.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
People can change their minds and evolve.
Especially when you're dealing with a real crisis and you start to understand why Trump was right about the threat of China, why he was right about national borders, why he was right about manufacturing.
And now we're getting hit with it at the last minute, and you're like,
damn. Yeah. Yeah, we should have been on this sooner,
huh? So I can respect that. I still
do have criticisms for him, of course.
Sean R. says, can we finally see
the invisible girl? Well, funny thing.
Yeah. I ordered a camera. Oh, yeah. And one of
the annoying things about it is that Google
ads then start showing nothing but it.
So you may have noticed on the other show
there were a bunch of ads for skate ramps and stuff.
Yeah.
It's so annoying.
It's like, dude, I bought the thing.
You don't need to advertise it to me again.
You succeeded.
Stop.
What if you want to buy more?
No.
Yeah, I guess.
The same thing again.
So we do have a camera coming,
but the problem is it's not a set.
It's like she's at the production table
handling camera stuff.
So we have to actually set stuff up.
Like, this is set design stuff that Adam did, so you will get to it.
Deplorabology says, we need to stop obeying unconstitutional laws, or we need to figure out how to deal with it because so many things are unconstitutional for sure.
That's true.
PurpleNerp says, do both, nerds.
I don't know what both is a reference to, sorry.
Maybe the globe and the UFO.
Oh, right. So I said to give them equal table time. do both nerds i don't know what both is referenced to sorry maybe the globe and the ufo right so i
said to give them equal table time where can we put it's hard the ufo is just so much cooler i'm
sorry man it's just you know what it would be kind of cool if we superimposed like had it sitting in
a spot that it looked like the ufo was landing on the globe and the globe is spinning and the
things are you know i mean i mean we do have a lot of space here.
And it's not like we have a guest.
Forced perspective.
Yeah, it'd be good.
Oh, and it's like it's beaming up.
That's, I guess, what it's supposed to be.
Yep, that was what I was going for.
All right.
Trinidad says, if you allow community design beanies,
good luck with the flood of 4chan designs
with plenty of 55 and eggplants.
I don't care. Hey, gotta it's gotta be timcast related
i mean i'll i'll take designs and if they let me make me laugh i'm not upset by that well we're
definitely we're not gonna sell them we're definitely gonna do that with uh tc that's
pretty dope i like that a lot with like a like a dc logo but tc tc i like it nice
deplorabology says cops aren't't human. No, they are.
Yes, they are.
But there are a lot of issues, I definitely think, with the culture, for sure.
I've met really cool cops, and I've met really nasty cops.
It's a culture issue.
It's a spectrum.
Right.
They're all out there, all different types.
Spupper says, Alabama has doubled their confirmed cases in 24 hours.
Oh, yeah, boy.
I saw that.
It's getting crazy.
Yeah. What does it say? I try to be rational, says Ferguson Imperial Colonel predicted deaths
have been revised from five hundred ten thousand to less than 20 K. This is not true. I'm sorry.
The apocalyptic numbers are all wrong. Many experts warned of this error.
It's not true. I'm sorry. So this guy in I think he's in the UK, what he said after the fact, and maybe it's true,
maybe he's not trying to backpedal. But what he said was, based on social distancing,
and the measures that are being implemented now, the projection is 20,000 dead.
If we do nothing, it's half a million. A bunch of people started saying, Hey, I thought this guy
said it was gonna be half a million. Now he's saying it's 20. So then he came out with a Twitter
thread saying no, no, no, I'm saying that if we do nothing it'll be 500k and if we do
everything like we're doing now
it'll be 20
maybe I don't know I don't know that's what he said
I like the lower number if we're going to have to choose
yeah Ethan Johansson said
calving calving season on the farm
at least my quarantine is full of cute calves
running around everywhere beef prices
in the toilet by the way
Dawn thanks for becoming a member thank you and then where are we at oh man there we go fallen snow wolf says some
get a high from running ufo hovering over the globe i got a high from biking i get i get a high
from running when i when i used to ride my bike like five miles to work in from brooklyn to
manhattan yeah and going over the it was was the, I think the Williamsburg Bridge.
It's oxygen.
You're opening up your lungs and you're getting a lot of oxygen in the blood.
No, it was the Manhattan Bridge.
It's like a high.
I would cross the Manhattan Bridge every day.
And that's a brutal climb on a bike.
And I would just, and then by the time I got to the top, I was like, oh, like it was just like.
Just like fly down.
Yeah.
But then like.
I was the
williamsburg bridge that was my jam i looked skating down skating up and over that bridge
is fun i love it got some uh lots of good times there not a band account says as a democrat will

No.
Joe Rogan, yes. Joe Rogan, yes.
Yes.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Yeah.
Rogan, I'd vote for him.
Shun says, the fall boots from a portal of the game.
You can fall from high altitudes without breaking your bones.
I think these are the prototypes to that.
That'd be cool.
Angry Bellsprout says, isn't it ironic that the resist fascism and ban the fascist crowd
are the ones demanding the government force people into their homes?
Yeah.
Yeah.
About that.
It's funny, right?
Yeah.
Chris, thanks for becoming a member.
Thank you.
Rob Duper says, the suit would be good for someone with physical limitations.
Yeah.
See?
There you go.
Okay.
Wolfalt DeLeon says, please don't skip.
Do you know about the White Rabbit?
Just Alice in Wonderland.
What is it?
I don't know what else. I know about the White rabbit? Just Alice in Wonderland. What is it? I don't know what else.
I know about the white rabbit.
Yeah.
Wink.
David Marcella says, you're thinking too small with the exoskeleton.
Think about disabled people.
Yes, I totally agree.
I did not see that.
David says, I have 85% left side paralysis.
This could help someone like me.
Absolutely.
That's cool.
For stroke patients, this would be a freaking godsend.
Yeah.
Paralyze people?
Are you kidding?
Well, it's like it's War Machine. Yeah. To paralyze people? Are you kidding? Well, it's like War Machine.
Yep.
I always think it's as well.
In Civil War, when War Machine breaks his spine or whatever,
and then he gets the XO stuff to help him walk.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
It was a really cool line in Endgame when War Machine is with Nebula,
and she's like a robot, and she reaches her hand in the thing
and pulls the orb out, and her hand's all burned.
Yeah.
And she looks at him and says, I wasn't always like this.
And he says, me neither.
And I was like, oh, that's cool, man.
But I was referring to the running faster part of it.
It's like, that's what that was for.
I think it's cool.
Well, no, it was saving energy.
I know.
Running more.
Oh, okay.
Well, I was reading it that they can run 14% faster and it's like, why would you do that?
No, they save 40% of their energy.
Oh, you're saving more energy.
So you can run 40% more.
Ah, okay, okay.
Star Wars guy says,
Hago, Damask, and Chief Palpatine 2024.
Oh, yeah.
Great.
But he's the Senate.
I don't know if he can run for the president.
Cord Funk says,
One of the most important lessons young people can learn is that you might change your mind and that's okay.
100%.
You don't got to just defend a bad idea.
Yep.
You can change your mind.
It's okay.
That's the crazy thing.
If someone's like, here, Tim, here's what this is wrong.
I'll go, I did not realize that.
Yeah, exactly.
So it's like when the background check thing happened, I was like, is that for real?
Like they shut it down.
I was like, whoa.
Not cool.
We can't have background checks if they're going to do this.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
And I think I was talking to Crowder about it, too.
And I think he brought stuff up like this, and I didn't understand it.
The real thing is people need to learn how to drop their pride.
Yeah.
You know what, man?
Stick into it.
Like, well, no, I've been saying this for so long, so I've got to stick to my guns.
It's like, well, if you realize you're wrong, wrong drop your pride and people will respect you how
else do you improve yourself yeah like if you've been talking about these people that are doing
these stupid things and then coming out a couple days later going you know what i'm sorry i was
stupid yep i didn't think about this and you're like good on you it's skateboarding man when i
try a trick and it's not working i stop and think what am i doing wrong i'm doing something wrong i
have to change what i'm doing that's's it, everyone. Dude, I landed
nollie varial heel flip,
nollie backside flip today.
And I was having a hard time
with nollie varial heel flips.
Okay.
And I was like,
what am I not getting?
So I changed the way
I positioned everything.
So there's like,
they tell you,
here's how you should put your feet
if you're gonna do this one trick.
And I was like, nah,
I'm gonna put them
how I just feel like it right now.
I'm gonna ignore everybody else
and I'm gonna figure it out.
And then boom, I landed three in a row. Felt good. You did. It was so cool. It's was like, nah, I'm going to put them how I just feel like it right now. I'm going to ignore everybody else and I'm going to figure it out. And then boom,
I landed three in a row.
Felt good.
He did.
It was so cool.
It's not like the hardest trick
in the world.
It's like a fairly, you know,
basic, you know,
it's like, I guess,
technically advanced level.
It's not basic.
Get out of here.
Nollie Varial Heel Flip.
Get out of here, dude.
Whatever.
No, get out of here.
What?
Those are way beyond basic.
It's not like I did like
Nollie Varial Heel Late Flip
Revered or something.
Oh my gosh.
But a Nollie Backside Flip felt good.
Those who don't know how to skateboard are like,
what is he talking about? Yeah, it's jargon.
Those who are average skateboarders are like,
that's not an easy trick. I disagree.
Yeah, because you've been skating for 20
years. Longer, no.
Thank you.
AJ says, opinion changes happen, but
there's usually logical progression or trigger
for a flip, for sure sure I hope there's logical progression
yeah seriously
let's see Plague Runner says hello
non-sick people I am coming for you no you
not no no no no no no no no
Caleb says UFO oh there it is
UFO wins I think UFO did win
did it really but I don't know if it's
people that didn't know about the globe
there's also people going what globe
are you claiming that there's voter suppression yes yeah that's exactly it yeah man conspiracy
mr paul r says treat everyone as if they're infected stock up on tp lol globe and planet
plenty of space in uh plenty of space in the screen maybe yeah maybe both yeah cracklin says
do you think naruto had more of a right to be upset for
being rejected by the hidden leaf without a family or sasuke whose entire family was killed
sasuke's entire family was killed man and it was by his own brother who spared him and wasn't
supposed to so the story is basically that the government this this the the secret police of
this village saw this one clan is becoming a growing threat okay so ordered one of them to
kill everyone but he couldn't kill his little brother and his little brother goes to become
one of the most powerful like fighters okay yeah naruto on the other hand his dad sacrificed his
his parents sacrificed their lives trying to save the village from a giant demon of some sort
it's hard to explain so i'll just call it a demon and then. And then they trapped the nine-tailed fox within him,
and so he got ostracized for being the embodiment of it,
but eventually earns their respect.
But what is this question actually about?
It's not about their backstory.
It's about what...
Who had more of a right to be upset.
And I said Sasuke.
Oh, okay.
The government literally ordered his entire extended family executed.
Oh, okay.
That's not...
Yeah.
You know.
Konami says the beanie should have a cute pigeon
because Tim Pool looks like one.
I do think pigeons are funny.
They are pretty great.
It would be fun to love a little pigeon guy.
Yeah.
The Proud A-Hole Migtow says,
UFO not Godzilla will wake up soon.
John Rosen Generation says,
You guys should play Deus Ex
and comment on the various predictions the game makes.
It's looking similar to the gray death plague in the game.
Never played that game, but I hear good things about it.
I heard people talking about that.
Democracy says, have you heard of talked about the October 19 global pandemic exercise event
201 yet?
I have not.
We'll check it out.
OPM Studio says, near normalcy in North Carolina.
Kind of surreal watching the rest of the country go into lockdown while we continue our lives
almost as though nothing was wrong. Crazy.
Sean says, they should make shoes
that make you run as fast as Sonic the Hedgehog.
Imagine running along the highway, passing cars and traffic
jams. Be cool. And then running into other
people. Trinidad says, globe is
a lie. Flat spinning thing now.
Yes. Jane, thanks for becoming a member.
