Timcast IRL - TimcastIRL #42 - Turns Out Crying COVID Nurse Who Quit Was HOAX?! Did Media Fake This Or The Nurse?

Episode Date: April 8, 2020

The recent outbreak of viral videos starring crying nurses has come under scrutiny after a nurse is revealed to have either attempted to deceive the public - or her video was used misleadingly. Then a discussion ensues about underlying conditions and naturally leads to feminism enabling women, in the specific instance of Birds of Prey flopping. And finally, Jack Dorsey does a BIG good thing.  Merch - https://teespring.com/stores/timcast-2 Podcast available on iTunes and Spotify, coming soon to all podcast platforms!

show so he doesn't have that now so you really are seeing the raw celebrities as they are you know the real time so what ends up happening is you have someone like colbert or jimmy kimmel sitting at home and like trevor noah and they're trying to do an at-home thing to to the camera like a youtube with all these writers and it's like when you watch them on tv it's plastic but it's shiny plastic shiny when you watch when you watch people on youtube at home you're watching like an authentic person talking about how they feel about things yeah and it's authentic it's shiny plastic. Shiny. When you watch people on YouTube at home, you're watching an authentic person talking about how they feel about things, and it's authentic.

It's not super high-quality stuff. Right. Now take the worst of both of those things, mash them together, and that's what you get with Jimmy Kimmel and Colbert and these weird shows they're doing. Yeah, the luster is gone. Right.

And so now it's just like twisted, mangled, burnt Legos laying on the ground, and you're like, what is that? And what makes it worse is they really are trying. It's like, instead of it feeling natural, like you and I having conversations. It's like we've been having conversations like this for years and years now. So it's no thing for you and me to just continue talking about stuff. But watching them, it really feels like they're making an effort to talk. And instead of it flowing

and being like that shiny tv thing you know i bet they could barely hold a conversation yeah i bet you sit in there and they'd be like i don't know well they don't have to yeah right and get away with saying whatever they want at a camera and they don't have to carry on a conversation yep shall we go to our first story oh we're not even in the story no we're, we're not. We're just making fun of mainstream media. See how much fun we have just talking? Hey, man.

In Tears, a nurse says she quit her job after she was asked to work in a coronavirus ICU without a face mask. America is not prepared and nurses are not being protected. You know, when this story

first came out, I took it seriously. I was like, man, it's worrisome when you get nurses and doctors quitting and there are real nurses quitting not this you know fake whatever then i mean things have to fall apart but but there is good news i mean they're saying that for new york we're nine days away from the peak in which case things start chilling out oh that's

nice there's they're saying like we might start easing up on restrictions it might we might actually get the restrictions lifted much sooner than everyone realized so it's good news for now yeah but just because they're seeing like the amount of daily deaths go down yeah in in new york doesn't mean it's over if they lift restrictions then two weeks from now it'll spike again yeah so dr fauci is saying maybe this is the new normal until we have a vaccine or like you were saying earlier about like the the deaths that they're finding in like apartments aren't even getting started man you know what is so so what's really annoying to me is there are a lot of people who are it's clear what they're trying to insinuate casting doubt upon what's going on like you know i look i've done this when we talked about the

paddleboarding guy and the beach got arrested. Right, right. And that expert who said that the virus was in the water and then kicking up into the air or whatever. It's like, shut up. Oh, that was an expert that said that? It's a marine biologist. Oh, I didn't catch that part. That's so stupid. Yeah. There's literally billions of viral particles bouncing up in the air.

She's like, I wouldn't go to the beach if you paid me a million dollars. Oh, shut up. There's probably billions of viruses in the water anyway. There are, yeah. All the time. It's not even about that. It's like, listen, if you don't want people to go to the beach, just be honest about it. Right.

And then tell them to go home if they show up anyway. Yeah. But to make up these ridiculous stories. Yeah. So Candace Owens, who is like a big Trump personality, has been tweeting a bunch of things. And one of the things she tweeted was a story from the New York Times that said, where has the heart attack and stroke victims gone? Right. And then she tweeted, doctors around the world are wondering and stroke victims gone? Right. And then she tweeted doctors

around the world are wondering what's happening to these patients. Yeah. And and flu and pneumonia deaths have dropped off. The insinuation that people were making, I don't want to I'm going to avoid accusing her directly. But the people in the comments were saying, like, we're replying to her tweets that these doctors are taking heart attack deaths and calling them coronavirus. Because there are these stories popping up where it's like, my grandma in Italy, you know, we've talked about it. All those stories, yeah. And there are a few stories that people have highlighted.

There was a story of an infant who was in the hospital for some kind of a procedure for a month, like a very serious, you know, and then contracted COVID and died. And so people are questioning why that was labeled as a COVID death. I think it's fair. I just, like, like they've said over and over again, it's underlying conditions, which, you know, so it's contributing factor. There are some people who are sick who would probably survive, might get it, might not, might not live. Right. And so they're, they're, they're, you know, labeling it as COVID death. But the other thing is what people don't realize, people in New York and all over are dying of coronavirus and not being tested. And they're not being labeled

coronavirus. Yeah. So that doesn't make sense. Take them both. Right. If you think they're overcounting some things, they're definitely undercounting other things. Right. So they're saying in New York that if they find a DOA, like if they get a call for a wellness check and there's someone dead and they can't determine the cause of death, they don't put down as coronavirus. So the city is concerned they're undercounting the deaths. Right. Well, let's take a look at this nurse right here. Right.

So I love this because we have this tweet. And just below it, we have Melissa A. Two months from now, we will find out this Jussie Smollett 2.0 fake. She got 943 retweets on April 5th. Lo and behold, on April 6th, Imaris Vera, the nurse in the video, clarified her experience on Monday in a tweet, quote, we were each assigned one N95 per one COVID patient's room, but was not allowed to wear it outside the room, wear our own N95 masks around the nurse's station or halls, which I came prepared with. That is not what she said when she was crying. All of a sudden, the story is very different.

It doesn't sound bad at all. Well, see what she did. She omitted that they actually gave her a mask and said, use this approved mask we have for you. Right. And she was like, I brought protection and they wouldn't let me wear it. Was it like a Mickey Mouse mask or something? was it like a maga mask right but she said right there that she was she used her own mask when she's in the nurse's hall but when you go into the room with the covid patient you use the covid mask that they gave you right i mean look cross

contamination so well so she was crying but here here i wonder if it's the fault of the media or her because she admitted to it. What, the next day? Listening to her crying and what she was saying has nothing to do with the media. That's true. That's a good point. She didn't tell the truth. Not only that, but she had quit

apparently taking a hiatus to be an Instagram model or something. That's the story that's been going around. An influencer? As they're known. I saw some pictures. And then like a day or two. Those people crack me up. And then she comes back for like a day

and then quits right away. And so everyone's calling BS on this. She's like, ooh, I can get some real big hits. Some likes. But here's what's funny about the media. CBS just adds a little tag to the bottom of the tweet, which no one will see. Yeah, I'm sure. And that's like sufficient for them to say they corrected it. Like, oh, yeah, whatever. We and then acknowledged it. What ends up happening is

it's conservative sites that pick it up and start sharing it. So now if you're so there's this really funny study that I've shared and progressives really hate it. It shows that people on the left, liberals typically only get their news from liberal sources. Moderates take about 60% liberal sources, about 30% to 40% conservative sources. Okay. And conservatives, it's inverted, about 60%, 70% conservative and 30% liberal. Yeah, yeah. Conservatives do read left-wing news sites and liberal news sources.

Okay. So they've seen the fake news, then they see the correction, and they go, there it is. The left doesn't. They see the fake news and then they walk away. Yeah. And they never learn the truth. That's all I needed. Yeah. Now I can go complain to everybody. Yes. Yeah. Well, you saw what I was talking about earlier today with Trump owning a stake in that pharmaceutical company. Yeah, right. Man, this is so mean. Like 90 bucks or something. Ninety nine dollars. Ninety nine dollars. Oh, man. I mean, it could potentially be higher than that. Sure. Like Market Watch did a fair take saying, well, actually, let's let's let's I'll give

you the context. I wake up this morning and I'm scrolling down the Twitters and I and I pull up the Reddits and then they're over on good old r slash politics, which is supposed to be a place for normal discourse. The top post. Donald Trump owns stake in pharmaceutical company that manufactures hydroxychloroquine. And so in the comments, they're all like, I knew it. The Daily Beast says, there it is.

There it is. It's like, we got them, boys. Busted. Now we know why Trump is promoting this drug. And then sure enough, even never Trump or George Conway, like he hates Trump, tweeted like, oh, come on. It's a minority stake through a mutual fund. This is ridiculous. And I'm like, the media has become so desperate with their lies trying to push back on whatever they can.

Donald Trump's family has multiple trusts. One of them has a stake in a mutual fund, which has 3.3% holdings in a company called like Sanofil or something. So it's like a stake of a stake. It's not even like an actual stake. That's why they were saying it might be like it could be as low as $99. Like, oh, that's Trump's big play. Billionaire Donald Trump impeachment. Yes. Again, people are people already calling for it.

I know they will. They already were. I'm glad to see. So anyway, it's basically a mutual fund has a stake in this company. It's like three percent. And so there are other funds that Trump does have, which means his stake could be a bit higher, maybe like fifteen hundred bucks. It's like, so what are you? Is that a joke?

Like Trump invested a thousand bucks in this company that went on TV and promoted it. Why? So we can make so we can get a 10% return and make $100? It's ridiculous. You know, but this is why I wonder if it's the media's fault for not vetting this. They see a viral Instagram post and they're like, run it. And it's like, do you know who she is? Who cares? Who cares? We'll get a lot of hits.

That's what they want. You want to know what the really messed up thing about media is? I guess. If I put out a video right now that was titled like, Proof Hillary Clinton is a lizard and turns into a lizard on camera, and it got a million views. Yeah. I make money on that million views.

Okay. And then the next day I make a video saying, My bad. I was wrong about that. Yeah. It gets 30,000 views. about that. It gets 30,000 views. I make money on that 30,000 views. Not only do they make money on the lie, they make money on the retraction. So they're totally incentivized to do this.

That's a good point. Now, like I was saying, these lefty types will watch CBS and they'll walk away. So these people are now actually believing. I'm willing to bet you go talk to any one of your friends who doesn't really pay attention they're gonna be like didn't trump like own the company that was making that drug and you're gonna be like yeah that's what i deal with every day yeah it's just to get the likes well it's it's money well the likes equal money i mean like you know when huffington post wrote about it, they get, you know, 150,000,

you know, 150, 500,000 shares or views or whatever on the article. Yeah. They made the money already. Then a day later, they can just put correction. The story was fake. It doesn't matter. They made the money. They don't got to give it back. Boom. So here's what ends up happening. I do these videos where I'm like, that's not true. Trump doesn't own the stake. And they're like, why are you defending Trump? It's like, oh, no, I'm not defending Trump. I'm like, it's not true. Trump doesn't own the stake. And they're like, why are you defending Trump? It's like, oh, no, I'm not defending Trump. I'm criticizing the media for lying. Yeah.

There's a really funny skit called Stop Making Me Defend Trump. Have you seen it? No, I haven't. I think you told me about it. Yeah. It's from We The Internet TV. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So they can look it up.

It's really good. Yeah. It's like a guy. He's like in an office. Okay. And these two people are saying insane things about Trump. And he's like, he turns around. He is like, I don't think that's true. And they're like, why are you defending Trump, bro?

Are you a Trump supporter? He's like, no, I just don't think that's true. And they're like, yo, bigot. They start yelling at him. That's how it goes. It's how it feels. Yeah. So the funny thing is, too, CBS – here's why I think it's CBS's fault.

I don't trust them, man. I think – I don't trust them, man. I think. I don't trust them either. They're given the opportunity to verify this woman and fact check whether or not she's telling the truth. Before they run a news article. Instead, they're just like, run it. Story's already up there. Look, she's crying.

That's juicy. We'll get lots of hits. Run it. Oh, the poor nurse. But they recently used footage from an Italian hospital claiming it was New York. Right. Yeah, check this out. That's so silly.

I mean, many of you have probably already seen this because it was just over a week ago. Yep. How do they think they're going to get away with this? You know, I guess too many people. It's funny when they rag on Fox News for having, like, old viewers because Fox News actually has more key demographic viewers than the other networks like CBS, MSNBC, and CNN. And so I think what's really happening is these networks that have older viewers, and it does to a decent extent include Fox News, they're never going to correct this on air.

CBS issues like a tiny note note on their website oops or on their the twitter message like you said you know it's like we're good we're covered yep that should do it man it's it's crazy when i like i'm at like i was at walgreens and uh the lady at the count of the cashier we are walking up and they have all the social distancing stuff everywhere and she said something that was just so insane about like trump and his son and she's like well you know the president's doing these things and i'm like like it would take me so long to unwind all of these lies what spawned the the comment what did she just like blurt it out yeah just yeah you walked up oh hello yeah So president's doing this like seriously. Yes.

So it's so. So they're doing the social distancing stuff. Uh huh. And then it started with something like that hand sanitizer. And then I'm like, oh, you got some hand sanitizer. And she's like, yeah, well, we got to do what we can because I'm like, you know, the president something like that. You know, I'm serious.

And I'm just like, uh huh. And then it's it's it wasn't exactly that direct but excuse me i've already checked out of this conversation i would like to pay for my good yeah right i just i just want ben and jerry's it's just chocolate within the middle and i don't want to talk about this right now i talk about all day i want to go home no it wasn't it wasn't that quick but it was like within the span of 30 seconds it went from like yeah i i actually don't think it's that crazy that we're talking about coronavirus the pandemic all the things

they're doing and the president comes up yeah but i can't remember exactly what she said but i was just like oh that is just it's like a lie layered upon lie you know what it is it's it's thirst it's people being thirsty it's gross i can't stand it It's like all I see is just all these thirsty people, like the influencers. They're just thirsty for attention. The media, thirsty for that money. Really makes you want to quit. The CEOs are thirsty for that profit. Yeah, man.

Thirsty for attention. The people who are addicted to attention. It's like, man, y'all got to calm down and learn what it is to be human again. Because they're running rampant. I am excited about getting banned from all social platforms. Finally, just break the chain. Let me get in my van and go fishing, man. Let me leave.

Down by the river? Down by the river. In the van. Get a dog or something and just, man. I see these photos of these van life influencers. I wanted to be able to take the show on the road, but it's really not possible. And that's why we ended up doing this instead yeah but hey man you you want to come and ban me off this i'm i i hate hold on hold on sorry sorry please don't ban us yeah

i really like my job it's great so yeah hey i i don't listen to him yeah really no it's like it's like for me it's not about it's really funny when they're like, oh, all Tim wants is attention and all this stuff. It's like, no, no. Please, no. It's a passion thing. It's an obligation thing. It's like, I see something and I'm like, I really want to talk about it. Yeah.

And there's so much I want to talk about. Yeah, you vent like nobody else. Yeah, because I'm reading all this stuff. You're a champion venter. Right. And it's enlightening, actually, listening to your opinions on things because they're I'm a logical based person. So I respect logic a lot. And you are very logical. So when you analyze the news and the media and the things that are going on, it makes sense from a logic standpoint.

And it's I appreciate that a lot. I think I'm sure that's why people like watching you, too. But for that exact reason, what I think a lot of people don't realize as well is that I don't see me doing the stuff. You know what I mean? Yeah. I read the news and I feel this way and then I complain about it. But then, you know,

I accurate though for the most part. Well, I don't, I don't watch Hannity and I don't watch for the most part, Rachel. I don't, I watch Hannity periodically for like relevant things. I watch Rachel Maddow periodically for relevant things. Okay. And so I just see them and I talk about what I

like or don't like. But there are a lot of people who actually watch a lot of it. And then when I see comments from people saying like, oh, Tim, you do it better. I don't understand what they mean because I don't watch myself. I just talk. Yeah, you're just doing you. That's the great. But away from me, the point is this nurse lady, right? I want to keep talking about you. I know. I know. It's great. Just keep talking about you. No, no, it's you. That's the great thing about you. But away from me, the point is this nurse lady, right? I want to keep talking about you. Let's talk about this more. I know, I know. It's great. Just keep talking about you.

No, no, that's fine. Let's go. No, but she's a perfect example of what you're saying. Exactly. I know. And it turns out she was trying to be an influencer. Right. And she went back for one day and made a fake video.

Like, duh. Hello. So this is... Doing it for the hits. Some reporter... I love it. You know why people like Trump so much? This is one reason. When he rags on the press,

the press doesn't understand how good that makes people feel. True. We just watched that clip where the journalist is like, I want to ask you about oil prices. And he goes, where's it at right now? And then the guy goes, well, my question is, no, no, no. What's the price? I don't know. I'm going to do research on that and he's like okay next yeah right like dude have me laughing that's fun

i've been in these oh man i've been in these press junket kind of things yeah yeah where like you know i was in chicago they did some big arrests this was like a big activist thing the police chief walks up and then i'm sitting there and i'm just like hmm interesting and the journalists are desperately trying to think of something to ask yeah Yeah. Like even if anything, even if it's irrelevant. Yeah. And then and then you'll hear it because everyone's yelling questions. Right. And sometimes people yell things. You're like, what did you just say? Because they don't know what to say. And they know if they don't have a question, they're not going to chance to ask. Did you just ask what color socks he's wearing? but it's like almost like listening to a bunch of joe biden's yeah right yelling it's like words are

coming out but what your question was was completely nonsensical and then it's because the way it works is all the journalists will yell and the guy will go and then point at somebody right and then they'll ask a question but there are so many journalists i've watched where they're like they ask the stupidest questions because they feel like they have to. Sometimes there's nothing to ask, man. Sometimes you're just good. Just move on. Yeah.

But it's similar. Yeah. So here's a guy at a press briefing, doesn't know what the current price of oil is, but wanted to ask about the current price of oil. I don't know. You wouldn't understand the answer if he gave it to you. Yeah, exactly. That's what Trump was like. I'm wasting my time with you i love it next i love it yeah he was like he was like well i'll look into it later he's like no what do you mean look how are you gonna ask a question yeah i think he said something like that that's it was

pretty funny it was funny too when he called out the uh the chinese propaganda reporter dude i was looking that up and the owner of the company she works for was a member of the CCP. Right, of course. Yeah, and I was like, are you... It's private. No, it's not. No, it's not.

Yeah. That'd be bad. Anyway, as much as we've said it 50 billion and one times, media lies. People are... You know, I look at it like kind of like a toilet swirling around, making its way to the to the to the end point. I don't know if I like this analogy.

All of these. So the media is literal, like verbal diarrhea. Debris. Yes. Debris. Yes. Spinning around, getting faster and faster and faster as it makes its way to the ultimate end point of just like just wiping itself out. I don't know. But these like these social media influencers in the media, they're doing the exact same things. They chase after one upping each other. So that's why you end up seeing these weird.

Wouldn't it cause it to overflow though? No, it's going down. It's just flushing. It's too much. Yeah, I view it kind of like a you know, to get away from the toilet analogy, like a whirlpool that's slowly spinning faster and faster. And it actually starts ejecting people. Right?

So imagine you're a regular person caught in this, you know, whirlpool, and you're reading all this fake news. I'm still envisioning a toilet. You're in the toilet. I can't help it. But eventually you start spinning so fast you get thrown out. I'd be grateful I'm out of that toilet. Well, this is where, like where I think Alyssa Milano has carried people.

So she's tweeting right now like the Bernie supporters and the Trump supporters all sound the same. It's like wow, everyone hates you. Maybe you should realize that. Does that mean everyone? Who do you think you're talking to? She's uniting everyone. Well, the Biden supporters are

like, yeah, Alyssa. There's like four of them yeah right all four biden supporters look how many people are talking about alissa milano still that's my point she's doing it for attention yeah that's it and it worked yep yep maybe that's why she did it maybe she maybe she knew that it would be the attention she needs no one's been talking about me for a while. Yep. Yep. I have to do something. And she doesn't care about Bernie or Biden supporters. No, she doesn't care at all. The establishment, I'm sorry, Bernie or Trump supporters,

the establishment wants Biden and she knows it. So she knows she'll go to Hollywood and there's gonna be some super rich, you know, Democrat guy who's gonna be like, I don't care. Good, Biden. Yeah. No socialism for me. Like, I'm not a big fan of bernie for a lot of reasons

i was before but not so much as you know today for well he's not the same he's not the same and it's and it's funny to see people like rogan say like he's so consistent i'm like nah he was he was consistent up until 2017 and then he started chasing after woke stupidity in 2016 then it was like but he even changed in 2016, man. Yeah? Yeah, he used to fight for working class people, like labor unions. And all of a sudden, he gets up on stage in 2016 and said, if you're white, you don't know what it's like to be poor.

I tell people that, and they're like, he never said that. I'm like, dude, he said it. Yeah, he did. He said, if you're white, you don't know what it's like to be poor. Plenty of white people that are poor. Most white people in this country are poor. A majority of poor people are white. I could see it. Most white people in this country are poor. A majority of poor people are white. I could see it in his face.

He knew he was lying because he was desperately trying to pander to these weird elitist activists. Yeah. And I was like, nah. And then he flipped up on guns and he flipped up on immigration. But anyway, the point is, you want to have an argument about policy. I'm totally down here. Here's my points about Bernie Sanders that I don't like. I've talked about Trump in foreign policy.

Joe Biden can't talk. I know. It's insane. There's nothing there. Yeah, it's a joke. Yeah. Well, how about we jump over to some super chats? Yes, let's do it.

Yeah, sounds good. And then the next segment we have is we're going to talk about how fat is these body positivity people for years have condemned people to an early coronavirus death. Oh, it sounded like you were saying, we're going to talk about how fat these body positivity people are. Well, they do. They continue to. No, it's just kind of funny. So I wonder if you could if you could go back in time today

and like go to these body positivity people and be like, I'm from the future. Here's proof you're killing these people. I wonder if that would change their tune. No way. Right. It wouldn't. They're going to be like, you can be healthy and fat, healthy at any size.

That's what they call it. Healthy at any size or every size. It doesn't make any sense to me. I think it's it. Yeah. I don't know. Cause I really hate skinny people. So it doesn't seem like they're actually true to the any size. They just basically mean like, don't make fun of me for being fat. Right. Because if, if it really were every size, then models could be healthy too. And they spend all their time arguing that models are not a healthy weight. Yep. All right. We're going to hop over to the super chats i can actually speak on that but we can yeah we'll get into that that is your expertise that's right whoa whoa whoa expertise yeah you did it for a living it's a loose term yeah man yeah you're the expert i i know but i don't know if you know this about me i don't i don't delve too deep into most things i tend to do my own

thing and and this this actually would be a decent segue afterwards into Birds of Prey. Because of how they made the women all frumpy and unattractive. We'll get into it. I'll save it. Super chats. Meredith Stone says, Tim's channel going to be demonetized soon. Patreon. I will never use Patreon.

Patreon is a garbage platform. Patreon's banned so many people. I don't even know what's going on. It's such a, like... I don't know anything about it. Yeah, they're just San Francisco ideologically driven. And so when it comes to political pressure, they're like, they'll nuke your channel without warning

and they'll shut up your income. It's like, we can't function this way. We need contracts. Yeah, that's a good point. Actually, yeah. Yeah. Kyle Buchanan says, China, we have no new cases.ong kong and taiwan we have

new cases world so china do you say they are not a part of china yeah right this is a really funny thing that's been going around china keeps saying they have no new cases right taiwan is like we do so and japan are we a part of it or not right yeah yeah because they try and say it is oh yeah yeah king canuck says dude weed lmao short fat otaku's got a minecraft server now you boys should join it we'll even make you guys custom skin maybe somewhere to unwind i have never played minecraft i have never played minecraft never i don't think i ever will we're old fogies that's how you know it yeah if i'm gonna play like some 8-bit looking game i'm gonna actually go back and play some of

my favorites from the past that are actually 8-bit i'm sure minecraft's fun you know just because it's got like a retro graphic style well if i'm gonna play a sandbox game i'll play gta i like besiege you ever play besiege it's like you build little machines and then run people over and so they're like little knights and they like bounce and try to break your machine and then you flamethrower and then they run away on fire and yeah yeah but siege is awesome i make it's really really great it's like an engineering game it's on ps4 uh computer oh okay yeah it's a pc game right now it's like an engineering game you can build flying machines and stuff i built one machine that like basically beats every single level because there's different things you got to

do there'll be like a tower made of like a stone tower and it's like knock it down you have to like launch things at it and then there's some where it's like to do. There'll be like a tower made of stone tower, and it's like, knock it down. You have to launch things at it. And then there's some where it's like a bunch of little archers are firing at you, and you've got to flame throw them. Okay. Yeah, it's a really fun game. Right on. Glenn says, my girlfriend is a nurse. She was sick and tested for COVID, thankfully negative.

If I get it, it will be her bringing it home. Doomsday prep time yet. Man. Riley says, hi, how are you? I'm actually pretty good. We had a good skate day adam oh yeah we did you got the back back disaster revert which is pretty cool revert out and then you did the grind off the edge of the ramp so it was a pretty good day it was a good day yep so we're

doing we're doing all right david b says see lewis uh lewis rossman youtube governor screwing uh government screwing small businesses i guess we'll see how things play out after all this. A lot of small businesses are going down because of this. Yeah. Well, not just small business. We have one story. AMC movie theater say that they might completely go under. It's true.

Yeah. It's a crazy world, man. Who goes to the movies anymore? Anyway, Ward Spose says, Tim, Adam and Lydia, hope you are well. Stay safe. Keep it the content. Y'all are the last of the honest journalists. Thank you. And it's like not even like we're doing the journalist i just tag along for the ride yeah but it's it's it's kind

of just about being like a rational giving a rational logical assessment of things exactly like removing emotion from it yeah like when you see elisa milano say brett kavanaugh we don't need evidence and then joe biden wait a minute we need evidence. You can see that she doesn't actually make sense. Yeah. She's lying. She's just a con artist. Yeah. Well, Gon Nam says Illidan is bae.

Someone got the reference. Grabboid says, holy crap, Tim is back, literally in black. That is correct, indeed. Yeah. Merrick says, Adam, do you remember the time I beat your sliver deck by exiling your monosauruses and you died to your pact of negation upkeep cost? I remember. Who's that? Merrick. Oh, yeah. I do remember that. You do? Thanks for the super chat, buddy.

That's my buddy in New York. You got eaten by your pact of negation cost? Yes, I did. He did it to me. Oh, because he got rid of your monosaurs. It was brutal. That's great. John Smith with the very very clever point pim tool i've never heard that before i will consider that for future for future shows i like it

con ty says uh thanks for becoming a member thank you ero says trump cures cancer headlines in contracting and contracting economy trump renders thousands of oncologists jobless the funny thing is the, the joke always was, if Trump cured cancer, they would find a way to spin it negative. Of course. Trump literally said, hydroxychloroquine may work, it may not. I'm optimistic. And what did the media write?

Trump pushes dangerous drug cocktail. And now New York and Australia is using it. Did you hear about the Nevada governor like hoarding it? Right. Yes. Yep. For inmates. After banning it for the general public.

Do you want to tell it? Well, so he banned it for the normal public. Yeah. And then they found it in like a jail, didn't they? In stockpiles. Yeah, in jail. I was like, what was he doing? Like, why is it more important to protect the prison population than the people who

have committed crimes? Yeah. like why is it more important to protect the prison population than the people who know man crimes yeah so it's funny that they're trying to claim that trump has got a stake in these manufacturers yeah but it's it's available in generic form it's the stupidest argument ever it's like trump's pushing a generic drug that could could put could potentially reduce symptoms because apparently i was reading that we know the anti it's an antimalarial. It has antiviral properties. Trump isn't pushing a vaccine which can be controlled by a pharmaceutical company like many people actually are. Trump is saying this might work. And what does the media do? Who are they in the- Orch Man Bad. Well, no, no. Pharmaceuticals are good. Patent the vaccine. We control it. We make good money.

I was watching V for Vendetta the other day. know basically v for vendetta they the it's i'm not trying to say it's the same thing i'm just saying it's a movie where they bring up that the government manufactured a virus then manufactured the cure well had the cure right had the cure and then released the virus and then the people who controlled the stake in the company became extremely wealthy yeah there you go i'm not saying, I'm not trying to equate it to real life. I'm just pointing out I was watching V for Vendetta. Good movie, though.

Jack D says, hi everyone, I'm hoping to join the Royal Navy soon. Let's hope we've learned from the Spanish flu and they actually monitor us for any symptoms. And don't forget to bring some limes with you, lest you get scurvy. Chaos Might says, the Epoch Times has released an hour video of the origin of CCP virus in detail.

Pretty interesting. I'll check it out. Crisman says, Tim, did you watch Wizards or Gandahar yet? Of Gandahar? I didn't. What is that? Have you seen it? No? I don't know. I've not heard of that. Nope, I just work all day, so I skate when I can. Arthur Flower says, Tim, take

off the beanie grace us with your dome that is verboten we have to we have to get a million live concurrent viewers for that to happen so yeah share if we get a million concurrent viewers all right okay it's i think the the i'm gonna hold you to that the space jump we hit a million let's do it a million concurrent viewers i'm gonna rip that beanie right off your head. Do you remember the Red Bull space jump? No. Yeah, yeah.

I think that was four million concurrent. It was awesome. It was the biggest I'd ever seen. It was really awesome. What about the launch of that rocket with the Tesla in it? Do you remember that? No, but how many people were watching that one? I don't know. I was kind of asking you.

It's cool, though. Yeah, it's amazing. Think about the amount of data that goes out. So if you're streaming at like, oh, man, it's been a while since I've gone of asking you. I thought you would know. Yeah, it's amazing. Think about the amount of data that goes out. So if you're streaming at like, oh man, it's been a while since I've gone over like streaming rates. But if you're streaming at like two megabits per second, you know, maybe let's say four

because you're doing a really crisp high def. Yeah. And it's streaming out up four and then down to a million people. Four million megabits per second. It's just insane data transmission. It's crazy. Yeah.

Alpha Wolf says, Thank you, Tim, for all the great journalism you do. No problem. I just kind of talk about my feelings. JCAK says, So Jesse 2.0, wow. But we really need to get America back to work. We don't want this to turn us into Venezuela.

Get testing ramped up, for sure. True that. Paul Corneli says, Have you studied the concept of the cathedral by Mencius Molbig? His thoughts on press, universities, Democrat Party might address lots of your angst. Corasonic says, Jimmy Fallon is god-awful when interviewing folks on his computer since he uses his built-in mic. Oh, I know.

It's so bad. It's like, use your phone. Your phone sounds so much better. They don't know what they're doing. He really, and he's pushing out so much stuff that just is bad. Yeah. It's like, Jimmy, stop trying so bad. I mean, it's always been bad.

Yeah, okay. Yeah. He got better on his show, though. It started off rocky, but he got better at it. But it's just writers for it. Should have been Conan, man. Should have been Conan. Should have been Conan.

All Metal Mike says, Tim, do you have colored clothes or light gray i do i have color-coded outfits when i skate it's like a beige and brown yeah there's only two well there's there's more there's there's what wow i have the green see i didn't even know this oh yeah i have the green oh the green right three so there's three there's three. There's a brown. So there's the brown and beige. There's a straight brown. There's a green. Yeah.

And I have shoes to match it. Nice. They're coordinated. Yeah. James Coleman says, it's a proof that you can't disprove something. It has no value. Conversely, what would it take for you to vote Trump become Republican to oppose Dems? I think the main issue with that question is like, I'm fairly ambivalent. You know, it's like when Trump won, I laughed because, you know,

all of these smug elitist Hillary supporters got comeuppance. Yeah, I didn't. It's not the end of the world. I've lived through Republicans before. I just don't care all that much. And no matter who gets elected, be it Democrat or Republican, they're they're warmongers. So I'll give Trump some credit because he I think to a certain degree, he's done less than like Obama did in terms of foreign policy. Yeah. But he's still done the missile strikes and the weapons deals and all that stuff. And that's that's the biggest, you know. I don't know. He does. He deserves some credit in dealings with some of these countries, but I don't know. I think at this point, though, I'm like totally

off the democrats because i was i was actually like no you know i'll consider voting for like yang or tulsi now i'm just like not i'm not gonna happen uh-uh i'm not going anywhere near that those people then biden came out of nowhere just it's like now he's the leading guy the the issue is what is what is nancy pelosi and adam shift doing right now they want to investigate trump and that was like are you insane are you insane? Are you people literally insane? Isn't that all they've done for the past four years?

So when are they going to actually work? Right. I've been curious. Like, we have a major disaster on our hands, and I have not heard, like, anything from them. They got nothing. The only thing they know how to do is complain. Complain about the orange man.

Are they trying to come up with solutions? Are they trying to help people? Are they fundraising or anything? The best Chuck Schumer could have done, the Democrats, is Chuck Schumer saying we need a czar to oversee distribution. We already have Rear Admiral Palachuk who's overseeing it. What we need is younger people in government. She's 80, dude.

There needs to be an age limit in government. I'm dead serious. Term limits, at least, for sure. Pelosi is 80. And an age limit, both. Term limits and age limits once you reach a certain age you just don't care you don't care about the future you don't care anymore you have like four years sure if you have family that you want but a lot of congress don't

have family i was looking i disagree i think the reason why most people who vote are older that's the biggest voting bracket is because they do care okay the problem is i'm not talking about voters i'm talking about people in government already that have been there for 40 years that's the problem with with how the system works no matter what you do people these it's people who want power that's all they that's all they care about exactly there's a small handful of people that i think aren't just in it for the power and most of those are rare most of our republic. And actually Trump said this in his documentary. I didn't watch it, but I was like, you know, Netflix auto plays a little bit of the documentaries.

And he said something about the killer instinct. You either have it or you don't have it. And most people in government have that killer instinct that they just want power. They just want to go after it and go get it for themselves, not for the general public and that's the issue it's because those are the people that are in power this is what i was saying about if i got banned from youtube i'd be like well i'm gonna go off to the woods you know go read a book i'm not gonna cry about it but it's there's a similar thing where people

refuse to give up what they have and there's a certain point where you've got to be like some things aren't worth it yeah you've got these these influencers who will just do whatever including lie and make up these sob stories to get more to get more because these people reach a certain point where they plateau and they can't figure out how to grow anymore and it's like maybe you can't yeah maybe that's just where you're at maybe you should be happy with what you've got but they can't it's's a thirst. It's like they're vampires. Yeah. It's really funny how you have these lefty activists who say that greed is a mental illness. Yeah.

Because they just want more no matter what. It feels like it, yeah. But it's not, you know, like Jack Dorsey, we can talk about him giving his money away. These people aren't doing it because they're like, some people are desperate for money and they just want more and more and more. Yeah. But a lot of people are doing it to like build something and create something. If you're working in government like Pelosi, what are you building or more and more and more. Yeah. But a lot of people are doing it to like build something and create something. If you're working in government like Pelosi,

what are you building or creating? You're not. You're literally just sitting there accruing power and wealth and manipulating your position for power and wealth. So that's why I'm like, if I look at Bill Gates and he built a company, he makes a bunch of money. I'm like, yeah, you know, he did his thing. I'm not I'm not, you know, necessarily a big fan of massive wealth disparities and ridiculous wealth. But I'm not going to complain about of massive wealth disparities and ridiculous wealth, but I'm not going to complain about it. I mean, people made money. But people in government, they're just tricking people into giving up their power.

They're holding a job. It's like, it's not just that. Bill Gates made an operating system for all his faults and all of his dealings. Yeah. And people used it, and it was beneficial, and we use it right now. And, well, there you go. He started this thing, and now we all use his operating system. Yeah. And people used it and it was beneficial and we use it right now. And well, there you go. He started this thing and now we all use his operating system. It made computers easier to use.

But he also has a lot of foundations and does a lot of good stuff for humanity. Nancy Pelosi said, give me your vote and, you know, I'll make the government do things for you. And I'll make the orange man go away. Vote for me again and i'll investigate him it's like you're not actually doing anything for society you know what's funny is that they say that landlord isn't a job it's like dude a landlord does more than nancy pelosi does yeah someone uh space dodo just said to me greed is part of the instinct of survival of self and

species and that's true right you know so there has to be some sort of essence of greed in in the in the sense that you have to take care of yourself right now we're talking about like scale true that's true like if if you the sense of self versus the government which is supposed to be for all of us isn't it so somebody who's like i want i need to make more money so i can grow my business is different from someone being like how can I lie to people to get them, get their money? So I look at someone like, and I don't mean to single out Pelosi on this. I mean like basically all politicians. Yeah. You've got someone in private, in the private sector saying, what can I make that somebody is going to want and they will trade me money for it in government?

They're like, how can I trick someone into giving me their money? That's like all the government is basically. I mean, I'm exaggerating for sure. Cause I, I, I do think there's some, there's a lot of good things that government does and has done. Yeah. I mean the military, obviously. Yeah.

But, uh, you know, I think there's a lot of social programs that do, do, do well, but all we ended up getting are people exploiting this system government to gain power both sides too people exploit it's all of them everything yeah you're right there's a small handful of people in government that i think are genuine most of them are most of the most of them i think are republican i think i have six dudes and they are yeah all to the right side yeah because they seem honest like consistent rand paul he's the one who always votes against all this stuff he's that one dissenting vote well he is truly is the son of dr no yeah man i think i i i i i trust rand paul the most probably out of most politicians even though i don't agree with

him on everything just because he really does stand up for what for what he believes in and then dan crenshaw is pretty good uh tulsi is pretty good. But if I was going to write, you know, those three on a scale, I think Rand Paul is the most honest. Tulsi is less so, but still substantially more honest. Diplomatic, yeah. Right, yeah, yeah. So there's been a few things that Tulsi has kind of flip-flopped on and I've been confused by.

But for the most part, I think she's genuine and trying to do good and doesn't want to be a, you know, keys to the castle kind of person. Yeah. Let's grab some more of these Super Chats. All right. doesn't want to be a you know keys to the castle kind of person yeah let's grab some more of these super chats all right leor engelstein says seeing how the hospital ships are being used to uh used currently do you think the u.s could invest in multiple fast action hospital ships in the future i don't know maybe yeah sounds pretty cool why wouldn't i've heard bad things about them i've heard bad things about the hospital ships like they're unsanitary or they're too cramped or what?

Not that it's unsanitary necessarily, but like they're not nice. You know what I mean? So it's like if you had to go to the hospital. It's like a wartime hospital. Right. And that's what they are. Right. So it makes sense.

You do not want to be in one of these ships compared to like a nice hospital bed. True, but for the time when we need them, they're pretty great. It's really cool. Like let's get them up to new york all right new york's good now oh philadelphia they can bring it up the the delaware river and right to the city let's bring it to dc you know wherever they need it i play on the water i play a bunch of civilization they don't have hospital ships in civilization well maybe it's not accurate maybe they should maybe they should that a good thing. Yeah, they have destroyers.

But we have ships that are just, you know, it's like, it reminds me of, or you've got the destruction ships. Yeah. And you have the life ships. It's cool. I had never seen them, actually. Because they're all white with, you know, the medic's cross. It's pretty dope. Well, it's supposed to be that's like international rules of engagement or whatever.

Like you don't shoot down the medic. Yeah. Yeah. And it's funny because the activists in New York and across the United States, the street medics, they have the red cross and, and, and, and it is true. Like if you're, if you're in a foreign country and a conflict and you have the red cross, then combatants are supposed to leave you alone. Yeah. You know, it depends on where you are because some people aren't going to care. Right. But the funny thing is like, I've seen cops grab medics and arrest them. And they're like, what are you doing?

I'm a medic. And the cops are like, shut up. Like, you duct taped a cross on your back. I don't care. Yeah. You know, it's like they think they're in war, so they're going to get special privileges. But the ships, they do have it. And it's supposed to be like, don't attack the ships.

You know, it's always been the weirdest thing to me that we think people will play by these rules. Right. That's why I was thinking this while you were talking. It's like, man, we're so comfortable in our bubble. Right. It's like, okay, everybody, we're going to go to war. And if you lose, we're going to kill all your people and take all your stuff. But here's the rules.

There's rules. It's like someone's going to be like, okay, my existence is under threat. I'll agree to your rules. And then behind your back, not abide by them. And that's what we end up seeing in a lot of these countries. People don't care about rules of engagement. And so the Americans who are like Iraq and Afghanistan are under these constraints. We'll go to prison for like, you know, there's one story that's really contentious where guy on a motorcycle got shot. So they said it was murder. And the guy said he was fearing for

his life. And he said, doesn't matter. Rules of engagement. I'm not going to get into the full story because I'm not, you know, well-versed on it enough because people have pushed back. But you have these people

who will put bombs on kids. Yep. And then what's the what's the U.S. soldier supposed to do? Because I was I was talking to some army guys about this. And they're like,

you're driving on a road. And all of a sudden there's a kid standing in the road and you don't know why or what they're doing. Right. And they have put bombs on kids. What do you do?

Yep. I can't answer that. I have no idea. Well, the first answer is Americans should not be in Afghanistan and Iraq. Well, that's a good start. Once you're there, I understand. The guys who were deployed there,

they're in the situation. But yeah, we'll grab some more. Michael says, love the show loved the one the other week about cats my girlfriend and i have five newest one is a sphinx named lucifer lucifer keep up the great work uh you three right now we we are uh cat sitting betsy so the two cats emily's two cats are betsy and bucko buckoo lives here, and he's a silly little eunuch. It's Boku. And he's got a variety of names. Betsy, though,

is this grumbling, snooty... It's just... Yes, she grumbles. She creeps me out. She's a creepy dude. So you're sleeping in your room. I don't trust her. You'll be sleeping in your room,

and she will be in the hall looking into your room just like with her head around the corner staring at you while you sleep. And I'll walk up and be like, what are you doing? It's a creepy little thing. I'm watching you breathe, human.

Yep, and then she just starts going like, she makes that sound. Yep, she makes that sound. Yeah, I don't trust her. See, Boku I trust. I trust him. And he doesn't like her

and i don't trust her and i trust him so it's like yep i get it dude i get it i don't trust her either man it's on the same page cats oh man all right where are we at lost cold soul says in japan uh life business as usual except for on uh on base going into semi-lockdown hp con charlie live off base here so i just is growing on me each day. Oh, word. Thank you. Appreciate you. Brian says,

deaths are at 1,770 in the US for today. I think it is a new high actually. Yeah. They're saying, I think the peak is going to be like 3K in dead in one day. Oh man. There's a funny chart.

It's not really funny, but it's like in the context of the people who don't believe this is happening. It was seasonal flu deaths compared to coronavirus. And the flu is like a wave that goes up and then down. And the COVID is like straight up. Yeah. I don't know what these people think. It's like, so I looked at people still comparing it to the flu. Yes. That's still a thing. And there, and there are people who believe that it's a hoax and, and I they've, they've warmed, they've, they've, they've've backed off a little bit but some of these people it's so annoying you think donald it's like you think donald trump is is in on this

conspiracy with boris johnson in the icu and spain and the democrats italy and it'll and the democrats and every country they're all working together it's a globalist plot it's like so my question is order is here it's like no i no, I look, I looked up the deaths, the deaths in New York, the latest numbers from 2017. And it's about 425 people per day die in New York state. Okay. About 125 of the deaths are in New York city. There was like 750 deaths in New York city in one day, like two days ago. And in New York State, it was like 800, almost doubling the average from 2017. If you think those deaths aren't COVID, then what are they dying from? Right.

It's like the death note. That's the joke I made. Like, there's a high school kid in his room writing down names like, if you haven't seen Death Note, you really should watch it. But basically, it's about a kid who finds a book that when you write someone's name in it, they die. And so it's like, it's really dramatic. And he's like, he's like a, he's got like a God complex and he's, he's writing the names of every criminal down and stuff like that. But I'm like, what do you think is happening? And there are people who are like, I think they're over counting deaths. They're taking people who had heart attacks and saying it's coronavirus. Okay. Well in 2017, we had 125 deaths, which included heart attacks. Where are the extra people coming from?

Are they just like putting mannequin bodies in bags and then writing down coronavirus? No, it's because it's happening. And you know, it's really messed up. I am now seeing my friends on Facebook being like, yo, I got it. This is bad. I messed up. I have a few people that have gone through it. Actually, some positive note. One of them had it and is giving plasma to the hospital because she has the antibodies.

And so that's a thing. I didn't even know it was a thing until I read her post that, like, look, she was all decked out. Because even though she had it, you can still get reinfected, I guess. You know, but because she has the antibodies built up, she was given plasma to the hospital. And that's a cool. Yeah. Side of this that I didn't really expect. I was like two years, a year and a half to the vaccine.

But if we can help by giving our plasma, if you have gotten it and like built up your antibodies for it, like that's that's cool. That's interesting. When this was like kind of kicking into high gear around last month, I was like, hey, look, man, I'm looking at the stuff I'm seeing what these countries are doing. And I really believe it because these countries don't shut down their economies. Billionaires don't give up their money for no reason. Right. But it was still like I wasn't seeing anybody with it.

Now, now when I go on Facebook, like people I know and trust and have known for a decade, two decades. I'm seeing their posts being like, I'm doing OK. Just want to let you know I was positive. Man, this is really brutal. I was coughing up. And I'm like, that's my friend telling me straight up what I've heard from other people. My buddy who sent us a super chat earlier, he had it. Oh, yeah. And got over it.

Thank thank the sun. You know? Yeah. It's weird to me that people think it's being faked yeah like what what is donald trump is doing it it's a conspiracy it's trump's conspiracy that's that's so weird out of sight out of mind yeah that's it i guess something like 14 of people know someone who's had it so maybe it'll kind of catch on yeah maybe yeah michael says all right so we know that we know what the beanie and what soy Jesus do in their free time.

What does the lady of Whiterun do? What do I do? Yeah. I like to go on walks. I like to garden, and I like to crochet. Well, there you go. Because I'm a very old woman. She is a very old woman.

That's true, I am. S-Head says, I hope everyone is staying safe during all this. PSA, though, if your girlfriend stops shaving during the quarantines and stay-at-home orders, she wasn't doing it for you. Ooh, spicy. Ooh. Oh, spicy. Yeah. Bill says, unfortunately, she's not wrong. I'm on a physician group on Facebook, and we have multiple stories of administration

forbidding providers from wearing PPE, some to the point of ripping masks off people's faces. Oh, wow. Why would they do that, though? Why? Malicious people, dude. Dude. I've heard stories that it's like people freak out or something like they get anxiety from seeing all the gear i don't know if that's true but that's

weird that's crazy yeah that's weird jared says bill vuong you lie like a rug oh there we go some some spicy contention talbot says watching celebs try to youtube is like watching a kid with a mixed bag of half-melted lego duplo megaoks and a few random Technic trying to build a car and smiling awkwardly as it doesn't work. It's very awkward. There you go. That's funny. But they're having fun, though. That's the difference.

That kid is having fun. They don't even seem like they're having fun because deep down they know this isn't right. I'll tell you what. You can see it in their eyes. When it comes to YouTube, these individuals who have built up channels, it's because they're doing so many different things. They're finding a way to monetize it. They're learning and improving. Yeah. The people on shows like The Daily Show, it's a huge collective of people all trying to lift this one thing up.

Right. So the hosts have no talent. Well, I feel like – Like a little bit. Yeah, some. Maybe the hosts – I've seen Trevor Noah's routine. He's got some humor to him.

But when it comes to trying to be a host for a news and politics show. Live. Also. You know, it's a much different situation than like a pre-prepared, you know, exactly how to, when to hit those punchlines. You know, all the different, you know, segments, whatever. I would not do stand-up. I've actually had agents hit me up, like big-time agents, be like, how would you like to host, like, a show that's, like, kind of comedic?

I'm like, are you insane? Yeah. And they were like, oh, you could do it. You're funny, right? And I'm like, yeah, maybe, like, off-the-cuff sometimes I'll make a quip that's funny, but I am not a comedian. Right, right. Why would you even bother? And they're like, they write it all for you.

They do. I'm like, nah, nah, nah, nah. No. But that's what they do on these shows. It's like. Yep, exactly. Does Trevor Noah actually know anything about this stuff? Does John Oliver?

No idea. It's the weirdest thing to me seeing like John Oliver. I'm like, you don't know what you're talking about. It's like, but they write it for you. So, you know. He is funny, but it's his show that's funny. No, it was the first episode was funny. But now it's.

The very first one. Yes, because every show is identical that's true it's like it's what do you say it's current year and little timothy over here now some people might say i'm biased because he uses my name all the time but no no he it's literally his joke he'll be like you know the politicians are complaining but little timothy over here in 2020 and it's like yes we get it john it's current year that's the meme it's current year yeah yeah every if the formula for those shows is the exact same you watch samantha b you In 2020. And it's like, yes, we get it, John. It's current year. That's the meme. It's current year. Yeah. Yeah.

The formula for those shows is the exact same. You watch Samantha Bee. You watch Trevor Noah. You watch John Oliver. Yeah, it's all the same. John Stewart did an amazing job. Yeah, he was great. On the day of the show. Yeah.

And then they tried to replicate it with generic plastic figures. I miss John Stewart. Yeah. He was awesome. He said something recently, several months ago. It was probably last year, actually, that the reason the media keeps smearing and lying about what's going on is because Trump goes after their ego and they take the bait. They fall for it. They're very egotistical people.

And so they end up trying to get him instead of just reporting. Getting back. And it plays into this narrative that they're fake news and they're lying because they are. And it's got worse and worse. Yep. And now look where we're at. And you know, Jon Stewart praised the president on the 9-11 victims fund and all that stuff. Yeah, I remember that when that happened. That was awesome.

We used to have people like Jon Stewart who had no problem saying things like, you know, here's why Trump is bad. Here's where he's good. Today, they won't even praise him for that. Yeah. It's either black or white. Right. No in between. It's like once, the first really bad thing was George Carlin when he passed. Yeah. The floodgates on the SJW stuff broke open without his leadership. Yeah. And then Jon Stewart retired. Oh, yeah, man.

And then it's like all been falling apart. Yeah. We need some younger thought leaders, you know? It's true. All right, let's see what we got here. Gregory says, if AOC had stocks in a solar panel company, she would be praised for putting her money where her mouth is or something ridiculous like that. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. DJ says, hey, Tim, how are you? How are you doing? My beanie man question.

What can I as a truck driver do to avoid the media frenzy on all this two face lying? Yeah, that CBS thing I was talking about that to my father and mother lol was so fake haha i don't know man i don't know either i read the news every day for a living and i don't get it all right definitely not and this talk of like these youtubers that are being cut off you know it's like oh man if it were to happen to us i would want to continue this you know this is fun and i get a lot of my information from you you know and that's why they would want to cut it off i know a lot of people yeah i know a lot of people watch your stuff too and you know and because of that because it's like a legitimate or at least it

feels legitimate you know for most people and it is as far as i'm concerned you know it's like a good like viewpoint that that you do say this is what's good this is what's bad you were just you know commending john stewart for doing that right do that you know say this is what's good this is what's bad you were just you know commending john stewart for doing that right do that you know so there are a few people that do it you know so it's i think that the big challenge i don't think i don't think they're going to cut you off because we'll see i don't know i don't think it's going to happen back during occupy wall street i was doing a live stream from the financial district we were by the stock exchange and i was filming all these protesters

and the police were arresting people. I had thousands of viewers, probably like 30,000 live viewers. And the comments live were flooded with a bunch of conservatives and stuff. And I had a bunch of lefties say, Tim, you need to get a moderator to ban all of these people

because they're just trolling. And it was conservatives saying like, F these commies and stuff like that. And I just was immediately like, I'm not going gonna ban any of these people they can say whatever they want right exactly my only concern is if they're spamming the chat so no one can chat or if it's bots you know right it's like spam then get rid of it spam is not free speech yeah spam is restricting free speech yeah i was like if people come in here to make fun of me like i'm all about free speech so do your thing they're still here talking and watching me and and they were like hey you're all right tim like i i'm like dude i want and

encourage you to come in i remember i got raided one one time by a bunch of i was i was filming a trayvon martin thing and a bunch of conservatives raided and i guess they thought that they were because like they probably didn't know who i was and they probably thought they were getting some like activist stream and i was like wow this is really really cool that all these people are coming in and expressing themselves and talking about how they feel about this. I'm down. And they're like, oh. They're like, oh, wait. You're about this?

All right. I think right now there's a lot of people online that are so worked up. Yeah. They conflate the subject of an interview, the subject of a story with support from the journalists themselves. Yeah. interview the subject of a story with like support from the journalists themselves yeah and i partially blame journalists for this but it also is the fault of individuals for for for thinking this like if if uh if i did an interview with somebody and they said something stupid i would get flagged for it yeah like they would blame me because somebody else had a bad opinion or got

something wrong and so i've interviewed people on the left and the right. I'm like, what do you want me to do? Like, I'm not doing this videos like this person is 100% correct all the time. I'm like, here's an activist. Here's what they believe in. Here's what they're saying. And here's what they think this. Yeah. And if you think it's wrong, good.

So, you know, for the most part, it's, I'm going to say it, but it's typically the left. Well, you keep saying though, back to the super chat that you're going to say it, but it's typically the left. Well, you keep saying, though, back to the super chat, that you're going to get cut, you're going to go to a river, down by the river in your van. It is half of a joke. Okay, so you would still try to figure out a way to make this happen. Well, yeah. I wouldn't immediately be like, oh, there we go, I'm out.

But I wouldn't be, if I was forced out, I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to, you know, oh, what with me? I'm going. Right. But I wouldn't be if I was forced out. I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to, you know, oh, what with me? I'm going to be like, what's next? Yeah. The challenge is that YouTube owns the space, completely owns it. Yep. And they are turning it into network television. It seems that way, yeah.

One step at a time. So maybe we'll make the cut. You know, there are some youtube channels that they like they they do seem to like me for the most part yeah a lot of these people who are getting cut uh don't have access to google personnel you know directly i do there's me and a few other people we are getting negatively hit they're algorithmically deranking the channel they're censoring that's why i'm not confident yeah i don't know why you know i have contact. I have direct contact with people at Google. And so they're like, we'll work with you if we make mistakes. And for the most part, they've actually helped me. So

whenever I get demonetized, it's like an oops that wasn't supposed to happen, but it's too late. You demonetize, you demonetize, but they'll come in and like manually override it. So I don't know if that's them pretending. I don't know. I don't, I don't know what it is. I really, really don't. I'm willing to bet that if I did not go on Joe Rogan last year, I would have already been dropped. But yeah,

I think, you know, going on Joe was a big boost for me. It's gained like a hundred thousand subs on each channel after going on Rogan's podcast. Nice. And then I think that gave me a big enough boost and like a snowball rolling down a hill to where my channels got big enough to where YouTube kind of backed off. But I had already been given guideline strikes.

I had already had, you know, videos removed and stuff and forced out. We'll see what happens. I try my best to work within the system, but at a certain point, I refuse. There's been some restrictions where I got really, really close to being permanently banned already. Like Voldemort, the CIA guy whose name I can't say. Yeah, I remember you made a video about the guy. They took it down. It was like a dentist who had the same name or something, right?

Yeah. Oh, okay. You can't even say the name yeah so i i was very very close to being permanently banned entirely off the platform because i was going to war over that i was like fox news has said it c-span has said it right and they were like no and i was like i basically said i am going to upload five videos that each are nothing but 10 minutes of me saying his name to all of my platforms. And I backed down, but I was, I was really close to like lighting the fuse and being like, I'll make a statement. I will get myself purged completely to make this point. We'll see,

we'll see how the problem is at a certain point. Was it, would it be a good idea for me to actually do that? To nuke all of my channels because it's over a million subscribers to make a political point about the right to freedom of speech. Sacrifice my income, my job, my livelihood to make that point. Or would it be worse because now the next several years of content I could have produced breaking through the fake news have been removed. So that's the choice I had to make. And ultimately I was like, in all honesty, it's the easy out. I could nuke everything and go with a full free speech. I refuse to back down route.

But that means no more content from me ever. Or I could back down and not say this person's name and then keep my job and keep working. Yeah. But there will come a time where I think YouTube's going to push me and I'm going to be like, you've pushed too hard. I refuse. Yeah.

And I think they're hoping that they can keep pushing and i'll just give in on every step of the way we'll see what happens i'm hoping that the tide shifts a little bit eventually but i'm not entirely convinced yeah who knows i guess we'll see yep champ says can we see the female talking you can't but we do have a camera we We just have to... It's a quarantine, man. We're all getting ready. We're going to get the camera set up. I'll be real. Lydia talks a lot more than we thought she would. She's allowed. I do, yes. It's cool.

I talk a lot. Yeah, we appreciate it. But we initially... When you're not stuck in chat. Yes, it's true. I like to talk to them, too. We were setting it up. I was like, we definitely got to make sure Lydia has a microphone so that she can, you know, chime in and do sources and fact-checking and stuff. Yeah. And then everyone was like, you need to get a camera

on. We're like, oh, we'll definitely get a camera. That's great. And then the quarantine happened and now we're just like locked in our house and, you know, people are getting arrested. So stupid. Yeah. Tanya says, Tim, please start your own platform for free speech. and Carol Baskin. Oh, I can't read that. I don't know who that is. Talbot says, beware young Prince for violence may

only work well once or revolt revolt will follow. Beware old media. Your, your model may only be used rarely. Lest trust falter. Paraphrasing old Machi Reed, the Prince Fulks. Sa says, my mother is nearly 70. Spent 30 years as an ER nurse. In the last 20 years as a small business owner and OC hospice nurse. She is considering going back to the ER to help and was irate at the quitting nurse. Wow.

DJ says, Henny is good, but I love Tim. He keeps me going as a truck driver. Trump for life. Diesel is at $1.80-ish a gallon. It's great. Time to move cargo. DJ says, Wow, man. That's really cheap. In the Midwest, it's like $1.70 for a gallon of gas. I know, but diesel used to be cheaper. Then it went higher. And now it's, I mean, in general, it's really cheap.

Hey, fair warning. A lot of people are trying to super chat the name. Yeah, I don't know. Voldemort's real name. Oh, really? So just fair warning. Is it getting banned or something? No, just be careful.

Right. So you don't read it out loud. Yeah, so just so you guys know, if I say the name, the stream will probably just get turned off immediately. Yeah, so fair warning. Like 30 seconds later, it'll just go, and it'll be gone. I've seen it, so just be careful. I've seen it too. Yeah, well, I mean, I've seen the name, so just be careful. All right later let's go and it'll be gone i've seen it so yep i've seen it too yeah no yeah well i mean i've seen the name so just be careful all right let's see where we

are getting absolutely inundated with these uh hey thanks for super chats for being here everybody appreciate you all and that was a big jump we're gonna have to speed up in a little bit i'm trying to figure it's very difficult because when youtube makes this big jump i have no idea where we were yeah basically loads a big chunk of comments. There we go. Swim upstream. All right, I found it. Joey Eagle says, Trump is real and gets to the point.

I don't like how all is handled, but we need to stop P footing around, take care of us, and then move forward for sure. DJ, thanks for the super chat. K98 says, please look into the grand solar minimum. Cosmic ray bombardment, rat and locust plagues, crop failures, et cetera. If model is correct, 30 plus years famines. You know, I will mention the good thing about Voldemort's last name is that it's so specific to actually say. It's very easy to spot before you read it. That's true. Yeah. Aaron Garcia says, I work as a pumper

in the oil field. Let tell you i'm addicted to tim shout out to lydia thanks for working the cameras and entertaining us in the chat love you guys appreciate it jacob says adam that dog comment yesterday wasn't meant to offend you very few places eat them you are passionate about veganism and that's appreciable conviction is a dying trait and i respect yours thank you man here here appreciate you paul says macedonia for the macedonians stop the greek occupation and. Paul says Macedonia for the Macedonians. Stop the Greek occupation and harassment of Macedonia and Macedonians.

Macedonia for the Macedonians. I will also say of Adam that he is correct in your conviction. When Adam skates, committing is... So when it comes to skating, there's a few factors

in getting a trick. Committing to the trick is very, very serious, meaning like you're in the air, the board's flipping, and you have to focus and say, I'm going to do it. One of the biggest things that skateboarders will back away on is not committing to doing it, and they'll bail, meaning they'll kick their board away. Adam never bails. He commits to literally everything and then falls and gets back up and like, nope.

He would rather take every risk to get it done and just slam. That's conviction. That's true, yeah. You guys can see my skate videos. I skated professionally for Arbor Skateboards of California for a while and made a few videos for them.

So, I mean, they're kind of outdated and I don't really skate long boards anymore. I started as a long boarder. Now I only classic classic skateboard popsicle stick and uh it's so addicting now it's really hard to go to a longboard once you get the technique the techniques of uh you know a shortboard is so much more fun i think skateboarding is super addicting it is because it's actually really easy to get a new trick and a new accomplishment every day and you get that dopamine release every time.

I got it a couple times a day. Yeah. I love that ramp. We got a little ramp in the back. Adam nailed a back disaster revert, which was perfect. Yes. Yep. It's a good ramp.

All right. Let's see where we're at. But thanks, Tim. Appreciate it, man. Yeah, for sure. Caleb says, the stream keeps blinking off and coming back on seconds later, completely skipping minutes of the convo. Happened twice.

Love the stream. Keep it up. Really? That sucks. I don't know. It could be because there's some weird frequency issue going on. Andre says, check out Dave Rubin's tweeting, who insane, rep talking about removing people from their homes. Whoa, really?

We need guns to protect ourselves. Who equals neo-Nazis? The World Health Organization has got a lot of criticism coming their way. Tony L. says, Tim, I just learned that Reporters Without Borders made a Minecraft server so they could get around

the banning of news articles and such. I thought this was a cool thing to share. Yeah, that story's really awesome. Yeah, they put it in a Minecraft server.

Sean says, infection rate in New York has declined since March 19th. Yes. Nice. New York has been talking about social distancing is working.

That's great. Yeah, and the numbers are going down this is good news i'm i think we might get through this very early but much sooner than a lot of people thought yeah we'll see though because it'll come back once we reopen things what does it say uh key toth says here's to lydia of white run sworn to carry our burden for she is our sword and our shield until she took an arrow to the knee wow nice albie says hi all hope y'all are doing well idaho is shut down and i shield. Until she took an arrow to the knee. Wow. Nice. Albie says, hi, all. Hope y'all are doing well.

Idaho is shut down and I can no longer go into work until further notice. Bummer. NA says, that is also the plot of Deus Ex. Why contain it? Mm-hmm. The Hazmat says, tried to watch one of those pro-China YouTubers. Couldn't do it. Got an evil clone anti-Tim vibe.

Doesn't even have a beanie. Well, that's how you know it's evil. Yeah. There's no beanie, man. Right. Yeah. Duh.China YouTubers couldn't do it. Got an evil clone anti-Tim vibe. Doesn't even have a beanie. Well, that's how you know it's evil. There's no beanie, man. Yeah, duh. Oh, you can't do it. The Moen says Tyson Foods has just shut down production facility. Several other large company food plants have been infected, but not yet shut down. Be aware. Oh, no.

That means chicken. Tendies. You know, it's funny because we were talking about this too. So many people are going to inadvertently become vegan yep what food stores that very very rice and beans store very very easily what's perishable meat and dairy products dairy products it's very hard to store yep there will be some salting some jerking some pickling some some what some jerking ah yeah yeah okay yeah jerked meat jerk jerk yeah we're gonna Yeah, jerked meat. Jerk meat. Like jerky? We're going to see people jerk meat like crazy. I just wanted to hear you say it again because it's funny. Yeah.

Yeah. Uh-huh. Just for the comments. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. If there is naughtiness in your mind, it's on you, not me. No, I don't know what Adam's talking about. We have tons of jerky. Yeah.

We've got a variety of... There's vegan jerky, too. There's vegan jerky. There's really good stuff. The mushroom stuff is pretty good. It's like pressed mushroom. I've always loved jerky. Gotta learn There's vegan jerky, too. That's true. There's really good stuff. The mushroom stuff is pretty good. It's like pressed mushroom. I've always loved jerky. For those wondering, I wasn't always vegan.

Probably the past five years, I guess. There's two things that people bought. The New York Times wrote, the bean industry is booming. And beans last for years, dried out in bags. People are going to be eating beans and rice, man. Oh, yeah. They're going to be inadvertently vegan. Good stuff.

Here we go. Lucian says, hey, Tim, if you ever want to play an absolutely filthy commander deck, you need to make a goblin commander deck using Krenko Mob Boss. Man. I do. Yeah. Well, I have Krenko in my Purphoros, which is like a fairly stock Purphoros, and it's pretty bonkers.

It's a ridiculous deck. His decks are bad enough. All right. The power level is just getting crazy. Johnny says, have you seen in Iceland they tested 5% of their population, and they found 50% were asymptomatic? I think we've heard that from other countries, too. A lot of people get it, and they don't exhibit symptoms.

Yeah. Hollowman says, watch Demolition Man 1993, a funny look into our future. That is good. I like it. Yeah. too a lot of people get it and they don't exhibit symptoms yeah hollow man says watch demolition man 1993 a funny look into our future that's a good i like it yeah all right i'm gonna start speeding things up unfortunately because we're getting absolutely inundated with super chats but i appreciate all of you guys much appreciated chubby says looking for good entertainment check out grave send streaming on amazon prime mafia drama i love your podcast look forward to it every weekday i don't wear beanies but but I'll buy a bunch. Once the quarantine is lifted, we're going to have beanies. Once the store opens up that I found. Yeah, man. Let's see. A liar loaded says,

have you looked into ID 2020 and Bill Gates involvement in the virus? I'd like your, your take it. I mean, I'm assuming you mean take on it. I'll check it out. I'm, I think, you know, some people are posting on Twitter that Bill Gates has done this genuinely philanthropic thing, trying to help assist. And because the internet has become such a pessimistic place they assume there's something there's something nefarious about it sometimes it really is a pessimistic place it is yeah but yeah all right we'll have to speed things up lb thanks for becoming a member thank you ryan stewart says counter argument to term limits if i want to keep rand paul in the senate because i like him and his principles why shouldn't the states have the right to elect who they want? That's a good

point. That is a good point. Martin, thanks for joining. Jay Max says, nothing has made me more libertarian than serving in the U.S. military, starting my own business and having kids. Government can take care of the background stuff, but I don't count on people who don't know me to have my best interests in mind, for sure. Here we go. Max says, Pim Tool, Soy Jesus, disembodied goddess. Yes. Here in Cheyenne, Wyoming. We've had about 30 confirmed COVID-19, but my employer has already issued employees paperwork for any possibility of quarantine. Wow. Charles says, Republicans lead while Democrats rule. Big difference. Sean Ryan says, a YouTuber called Audioholics got COVID at the end of

February and is still infected. I don't think people are getting reinfected. I think they're staying infected. That's a good point. Oof. What if it's like a permanent thing? Some people just never get over it. Until the vaccine hits. Or some kind. Yeah.

Isn't it doing damage on the lungs? It's like. Yeah. And potential heart damage now they're saying. Jeez, dude. Great. Yep. Callum says, my GF and I have been living at my grandparents' country farm for a month

now, and y'all made us feel less weird for leaving a big city when we did. Keep on keeping on. I'm looking at farms right now. Smart move. We're like, can we get to a farm? Can I steal a farm? Yep. The problem is internet.

Getting good internet for a broadcast show. Yeah. Ethan Hunt of Mission Impossible says, Tim, what do you think about Dr. Cameron Kyle Siddell? He is saying something that other doctors here in Europe are exposing in social media, but then platforms are removing their content. Yup, because the social media platforms have a consensus, and there have been doctors

and news stories which have been censored. Like the Washington Post talking about the lab in China got demonetized and confirmed. Knocked down. What am I supposed to do if the Washington Post says it? Cliff says, Trevor Noah is a really good stand-up comedian. Jim Jeffries used to be as well.

It seems all these good comedians start becoming unfunny when they start following U.S. mainstream because they are bending the knee to woke authoritarianism, which just isn't funny. Yeah. The Cool Core says,

Yesterday's cast, Adam said, eating meat is bad, clogs arteries. That might be true. All bad and excessive. Doesn't soy lower your testosterone? No issue with you. Sis in her teen got face rash vitamin deficiency because because became vegan.

Well, I guess there's a few different things there. The last part is a lot of people don't realize what it takes to fuel the human body. There's a lot of nutrients that even non-vegans don't get very well. And, you know, everyone has to find what they need for their own body, you know. So if you're going to go vegan, you have to eat a lot more for one. You have to, you know, sometimes take supplements. And, you know, it's different. And then the soy thing, it's like actually, you know,

Tim was telling me that soy products actually raise testosterone. Well, no, no, no. It's less estrogen. It's like a different kind of estrogen. Go ahead. You explain it better than I do. I'm not a nutritionist, but I was just reading it's phytoestrogen, I think, which is a weaker form that blocks the receptors so the natural estrogens in your body do not hit the receptors. That actually lowers the effect of estrogen on your body.

Right, exactly. So this whole rumor is actually... Well, it's a meme, you know. Some people have tried to confirm it. Right, right, right. The reason why these soy boys at BuzzFeed and stuff are low-T is because they don't exercise. They're not active. Yeah, there's too much variables that aren't in any of the memes and the rumors and all this stuff. It's just like I do it for me.

I am healthy. I eat. I'm above my weight, actually. And I exercise and I do my own thing. So for is it your daughter? Is this daughter? Sister. Sister.

So, you know, your sister, just do some research. You know, it might not even just be the fact that she went vegan. It could be that she just wasn't getting the right nutrients after going vegan. You can't just take the meat portion out and just keep eating that. You have to amplify everything and find out what works for you. That's the key. I think Rogan was talking about that actually. He said that there's certain densities that you don't get outside of meat for certain nutrients.

Right. So it's not just about eating something different. It's about eating more of things. Yeah. Like certain things to make up for the lack of the nutrients you're not no longer getting from meat sources or dairy sources. This is a good opportunity to jump over to our next segment. Yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah, that's a good point. Here we go. Oh, man, what a world we live in. Oh boy. Two fat professors, they had to say that, are afraid of COVID-19 causing fat phobia. All right, first of all, let me just show you this from the CDC website. Groups at higher risk for severe illness. And you can see people with severe obesity, body mass index BMI of 40 or higher. Well, 40 or higher.

That's really severe. It's big. It's big. And so this is people who are at risk for COVID. So right now, we were talking about this and we were like, somebody's got to do a video on this and just call out these body positivity obese people who have like, they've encouraged this bad behavior, which is now getting people sick and hurt. So here we have this story from April 5th. Campus Reform says, well, here's a picture, I guess. Two University of Wisconsin lacrosse professors who call themselves the two fat professors.

Oh, that's literally what they call themselves. There you go. Are concerned that coronavirus is causing fat phobia. Darcy Thune, author of Am I Fat? You are. In the International Fat Studies Handbook. What? Oh, there's fat studies. I forgot. Yes. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Recently published a blog post on the website tofatprofessors.com. The piece titled Diet Culture at the End of the World

outlines Thune's opinion regarding weight gain during the COVID-19 crisis. To their credit, they will, to a certain degree, survive longer than, say, like the soy boys because of the energy stored in their body. Yeah. But they're going to be out of shape. They can't run. So, right.

So when the critters, the large beasts come hungry, they're going to find too plump, slow. But here's the good news. Can I say a bad joke, an off-color joke yes the good news is that you don't have to run faster than the bear you just have to run faster than the two fat professors yeah that's true all i can think of is every zombie movie there's always that big big zombie yeah or the big person and they're like uh well the zombies will get that person and they do. Okay, here we go.

They say. Every time. Thune wrote her piece, Diet Culture at the End of the World, in response to the many number of posts that have popped up on her social media sites addressing fears about weight gain. According to the professor, these posts shame viewers for not going to the gym, for eating too much, for getting fat, and for not starving ourselves at the end of the world, and are representative of a problematic diet culture. The blog post repeatedly refers to those who are cognizant of their weight as part of a diet culture. Thune criticizes those who speak out against weight gain and characterize it as dangerous, saying they feed into a system

of fat phobia that oppresses and abuses so many. Oh man. I quote, I think the author is portraying something that isn't an issue. Brandon Miesich, a sophomore at UW lacrosse and campus reform correspondent told campus reform. You know why I take the biggest issue with these of all of the SJW weirdos, please. It's a choice. Yep. Yeah. I was watching, there's a commercial that airs on Fox all the time. And it's like, it's like, yep yeah i was watching there's a commercial that airs on fox all the time and it's like it's like are you overweight and struggling it may actually be due to a to a condition called insulin resistance and if you take this medication or whatever and i'm like that just means you eat too much sugar right exactly it's like it's there's there's i watched

this show i can't remember what it was but there was this woman who was really overweight. And all of these people kept saying that the reason they were overweight was because of genetics. Right. And they were adamant they didn't even eat that much. And so they were asked, like, how often do you eat? And they wrote down, like, for breakfast, I have this. For lunch, I have this. For dinner, I have this.

Now, how often do they exercise? No, no, no. No, no, no, no. Hold on. Go on. Go on. Yeah. In what they wrote down, they said, like, for breakfast, I have, you know, like, two eggs and, like, some toast Hold on. Go on. In what they wrote down, they said like for breakfast I have, you know, like

two eggs and like some toast and a bowl of oatmeal. For lunch I have a sandwich and for dinner I have a small light, you know, dinner. And so looking at it, they're like, see, it's only 1,700 calories. It must be genetic. So they filmed them. Yeah. Yeah. And guess what? They ate all the time. Non-stop. All

day they were eating. Yep. They would be like, they would eat their breakfast just like they said yeah and then like a like half an hour later they'd walk in the kitchen and grab like a bag of chips and start eating chips yep and then they'd have lunch like they said and they would walk in the kitchen and and and grab some snacks and some cookies and they were so they were confronted and the doctors were like this is what you said you ate today and like right and they're like what about all of this and they showed the videos and they're like, I was just snacking. And they're like, you snacked like 2000 calories. Yeah. Like each of those cookies was like a hundred calories. Right. And they're

like, oh, no way. The snacks have calories. I know. Who knew? You know what, man? Oh man, that's funny. Look, I'm all about freedom, life, liberty, and the fruit of happiness. Sure. If you want to eat cookies all day, do it with my blessing. I do not care. But the people who want to call you an oppressor because you don't eat cookies all day or because you would tell someone I'm concerned about your health, these people are insane. So there are like going – there is going too far. For instance, Milo Yiannopoulos, fat shamed a guy at the gym. Yeah, that's true. And I'm like, what? Why would you do that? The dude's at the gym. He's actually working out, trying to better himself. Yeah, you should have taken a picture with him and been like,

this guy's doing it right. Exactly. This guy, you know, he's doing, no. And whatever. But then there's the inversion, which is she's claiming it's a weird diet culture, shaming people for not going to the gym. It's so weird. Go for a walk, man. Breathe some air outside. Yeah. I mean, it does wonders. What's really cool right now about the shutdown is the air is so clean.

It's nice. Dude, we were looking outside in the backyard and we were like, whoa, look at all the stars. Yeah. And I'm like, whoa, could that be because like Philly has no smog right now? Maybe. Yeah. You can actually see stars. Yeah, definitely.

There's still light pollution, but it's like all clear. It is crazy the amount of stars that I can see outside. Yeah, it's awesome. Shall we get to the conspiracy theory? Oh, yeah, let's go. Are you all ready for this? Wait till you see just how deep this fat conspiracy goes. Oh, man.

Now, I don't even know if we said you know, said it was a conspiracy, but. Well, it is now. It's a conspiracy. I'm just putting on a show, buddy. I know. It's great. It's wonderful. Get the theatrics going.

It's great. Now, I myself enjoy a good pint of Ben and Jerry's. Heck yeah. They've actually got an almond milk version now. It is vegan. And there is the delicious creamy. And there's, you know what the craziest one they have is? The Core. You ever see the Core Ben & Jerry's?

Yeah. Absolutely insane. Don't they have a social justice one too? It's disgusting. Well that's not really surprising though is it? It was spicy brownies. Oh gosh. We got it and I'm like I'll try the justice remix

and I ate it and I'm like why is my ice cream spicy? brownies. I was like, I want to try the Justice remix, and I ate it, and I'm like, why is my ice cream spicy? So you think it's sweet, but then when you try it, it's actually really fiery. And you know what? It says spicy on it. Right. Oh, funny, funny. But this core one they have, it's liquid brownie batter in the middle. It's just like liquid.

It's kind of frozen. Okay. But yeah, it's like batter. So you're injecting sugar straight into your veins. Never have I encountered a dessert so insanely fattening. You know what? I'm not that big of

a sweet kind of a person. I don't do sweets very often. I like savory stuff more. But the conspiracy. We enjoy Ben & Jerry's. I know. You guys were sitting there geeking out on ice cream. I figured I'd have something to say.

Check this out. Oh, boy. What do we see? Okay, you can't really see it, but you can see right here. What does that say? Can you go over to the side? Ben & Jerry's parent. It says Unilever, a British-Dutch transnational consumer goods company.

They're the parent company for Ben & Jerry's. I wonder who else they're a parent company for. Hold on. Do you remember the Real Beauty campaign, which is one of the first campaigns about being proud to be fat? Oh, yeah. By Dove Toiletries, the soap company. I do remember that.

Now, who owns Dove? Oh, I don't know. Tell me, Timothy. Junilever. What? Conspiracy theory. Yep. The parent company knows that they've got a bunch of fat women who eat their ice cream,

who feel bad when they use beautiful, skinny models. So how do you keep them buying your soap and buying your ice cream? Real beauty campaign. Yep. Dove comes out, shows all these plus size models, and then sells them Ben and Jerry's. I know, I'm kidding. I really don't think it's a conspiracy. I think Dove, you know what I think is really happening? Americans are just typically fat.

Like 40% of Americans are overweight. Yeah. And so the reason why you're seeing fat superheroes, mostly women, like it's like really fat female superheroes, is because they're trying to cater to the people who are fat. Seems like it. So it's really this simple. If 10% of your population is fat, it's a small market share. And so people aren't going to market to them because it's not a path towards a successful business. When 40% of your population are, don't be surprised when these, you know, these fat professors come out and start saying that, like, you're fat phobic and you're an oppressor.

The reason why so many feminists are agreeing with it is because they're fat. They're fat and they want an excuse for why they don't have to be responsible for their weight. But I'll make sure it's clear. I don't care if you want to eat pizza and ice cream all day and you get fat. I care that you're trying to claim I'm oppressing you by not doing that or by encouraging healthier living. Right. That's a problem. Yeah. Are you gonna say something? Yeah. This made me really mad when I was losing weight because they were turning me into some kind of oppressor because I was actually trying to lose weight and actually kind of succeeding

at it slowly. It's very slow process. It requires a lot of adjustment and it requires a lot of like going against the grain because all of these people will tell you you're being oppressed if you're trying to lose weight or worse yet, you are oppressing other people. I think it's really simple. I think there, we used to have a culture of striving to be better. Yeah. Now we have now, now we're a culture of participation trophies. Yeah. Striving to be mediocre. Yeah.

It's not just that. It's like what they're saying is literally a participation trophy. Striving to be comfortable. Think about what a participation trophy is. Just for showing up, you get an award. It's not even just that. It's like striving to be a victim. You're trying to be the bottom of

the totem pole and then you'll get you'll get all these points and the sympathy and you really i mean you've overcome a lot or whatever you've had a lot of stacked up against you what a weird pendulum swing strange to me i agree remember when brock obama said the american dream is to be donald trump i do remember that it was he said that right i think he did a lot of rappers did i remember that let's see if you can look it think he did. Lots of rappers did. I remember that. See if you can look it up because it might just be a meme that someone made up. There's a bunch of songs talking about being rich as Trump. Yeah, man.

Did Obama say it? Oh, I don't know if Obama said it, but I have heard it before. Now it's like, listen, it really is. I mean, not only is he a billionaire, but he became the president. I know. Say whatever you want about the guy. Where does he go from here? Yeah.

To Mars? Snopes is calling this a mixture. Oh, which means it's true. Oh, I know. Wait, you actually use and trust Snopes? Well, it was the first thing that came up, so I was like, eh. Snopes. All right, what do they say?

Snopes. Snopes. Are they going to do the meme? Oh, let's see. Thanks, Obama. They're going to say, mixture. While it is true, he did say it, the image that was used in the meme is let's see thanks obama they're gonna say mixture while it is true he did say it the image that was used in the meme is not true they do start one of their sentences while oh yeah the

final sentence is while some of these articles clarified obama's meaning in the text the headline claims presented were a mischaracterization of their argument. So he said it. Pretty sure he said it. I'm pretty sure. There you go, Snopes. Whatever, man. He didn't say it while eating ice cream. Yeah, that's really the... That's the... But what's the context they're trying to bring up?

Like, Obama was insulting Trump or something? As one example of this pragmatic approach, Obama suggested reframing the quest for racial equality as part of the American concept of equality and opportunity. What? I don't understand what they're trying to say. Snopes is just doing Snopes. They're writing poorly and I hate them.

So we get it, Snopes. He did say it. He did definitely say it. All right, there we go. I don't know. So yeah, you can be a rich guy like Trump and they hate him and they're the antithesis. Yeah.

They strive to be bad at everything. Yeah. It's incredible. And they're proud of it, though. Yeah. That's the weird part. We used to have superheroes that were the problem incredible. And they're proud of it, though. That's the weird part. We used to have superheroes. Why are you so proud of being bad?

I know. Or fat. Well, they put it in their profile. It's not healthy. They're like, I'm disabled and I'm poor and I'm this, this, and this. And I'm on food stamps or whatever. And I'm like, what is there to be proud of here? What are you talking about?

You know what's funny, though? I want your sympathy. That's what I've seen. You had fascists in Europe that were like uber men supremacist types that were like, everyone must be this perfect way. Now you have an inversion of that where they're like, we're all pathetic losers with brain problems and we're overweight and victims. And when you get a regular person saying like, I'm really sorry this is happening, you know, perhaps you could try exercise.

Yeah, you could try this. Yeah. And they call you a fascist now. Yeah. Because to them, you being a regular person advocating for healthier living and exercise is like the same distance from a regular person to the fascist. You know what I mean? Basically.

Like, they've pendulum swung so far to the direction. Yeah. A regular person saying, would you like to go for a walk with us? How dare you? You know I cannot walk more than to my car anymore. Or the direction. Yep. A regular person saying, would you like to go for a walk with us? How dare you? You know I cannot walk more than to my car anymore. Or my French. Yeah.

Now they have rascals at Walmart. Yeah. That's the craziest thing. We got these wheelchairs at Walmart, so like your leg was broken. Right. Or you were old.

We'll help you out. Not every single time I've ever seen someone use it, it's a fat person. Yeah. It's true. Maybe once I saw like an old guy using it and i

was like we're yeah but but but cool man but but but hold on i get it you know what i i look that was supposed to be for somebody who was you know disabled or whatever i still really don't care if it's a fat person riding around that yeah that's true i don't either i'm like do your thing whatever man if you can't walk and you need it yeah okay, sure. Yeah, that's what it's for. But we should be allowed to say it's not healthy. Sure. It's not healthy. But this, even that, it's like, I don't need to go around telling every fat person to lose weight. Did you take the presidential fitness test in school?

No. Oh, maybe. So that was a thing when I was in school when I was younger. You know, you'd take a physical fitness test and it was like the presidential standard and you know you would be compared across every school in america it was this thing you know back in the 90s and uh i don't know i was you know they'd take your body mass you have the weight what is it bmi yeah exactly and it's like you would see how you rated you know if you were above or below average and whatnot and it's like they stopped doing that yeah why why why did they stop doing that because we don't care about

if our kids are healthy anymore like participation trophy era man yeah i guess so so these are people who think that they're being victims because they eat too much like dude no that is the opposite of a problem it's like if you want to talk about racism, dude, I'm down. I hear you, man. There are some people who are just bigots. Definitely. Racism is a big problem. You can't change your race.

Yeah. There are things that you can't change and you don't deserve to. Well, there are some people. South Park did an episode about this.

I'll avoid getting us in trouble on YouTube. But anyway. Don't get us in trouble. Sean King? Oh, yeah. Well, he just claims it and then i mean but everybody hates that guy that's fair you know what there's it's it's called like thin privilege

thin privilege the funny thing is they have all sorts of privileges right they keep tacking on the word means thin privilege i've never heard that one before actually i think what these people are experiencing is fat privilege i I think you're right. They can eat whatever they want, whenever they want. They're not responsible for their own health. They only have to buy one airplane seat. I don't get it. They want us to pay for their health

care, and then they claim to be the victims. Talk about privilege. Yeah. That's exactly what privilege looks like. I'd love to sit around doing nothing but eat cheesecake all day. Actually, that's not true's exactly what privilege looks like i'd love to sit around doing nothing but eat cheesecake all day actually that's not true it would not be it would not feel good no that doesn't sound good to me you know i can't i think i think one of the issues is with a lot with a lot of people who are overweight i don't i wonder if the if the problem is that they're

trapped in an addiction an addiction cycle because eating too much doesn't feel good but i will tell you if i eat too much, I can't skate. Right. It's like, oh man, I can't move. Right. And then you end up not skating. So you have to like eat only a little, then you can skate. You get, you feel real good. You get that, you know, you get a runner's high if you're running or whatever. You get the dopamine from accomplishing your goals and then exercise actually suppresses your appetite. So you get trapped in the cycle where you're eating and it makes you feel bad and you don't want to get up and move around and then you just feel bad so you eat more yeah well this is a good opportunity to segue over to the next intersectional you want to rag on uh want to rag on birds of

of course i mean it it falls right in line doesn doesn't it? It sure does. It's like, it's glorifying, what is it? Mediocrity? Yeah, I guess mediocrity. Glorifying mediocrity. Well, so the next segment we have is Birds of Prey. Kathy Yen says, Undue expectations for Birds of Prey were an extra burden on her. Oh, no.

Is that why the movie did bad? Sympathy. Did it make money? It did. I don't know. Do you want to look up the we didn't do you want to put the wikipedia for it so we can see what's box office results it did not do zero dollars i think it was a flop though because the marketing budget was really really high so here's

what's bounding into comics reports kathy yen spoke on the performance of her big studio debut birds of prey which floundered in its opening weekend and swiftly made it to digital vod in the wake of the ongoing pandemic. That's not fair, though. It had nothing to do with the pandemic. It was going straight to video. No, no, no. That's why it's not fair. I just want to clarify.

Yeah, let's clear that up. I hope by now none of you have... I normally would say, like, by now you've probably seen this movie. No, most of you probably haven't, but you never cared about spoilers anyway, so this movie was awful. Don't go see it. It's not worth it. You can't now anyway, right?

No, you can't. Yeah, we're all in. Well, now it's on video, isn't it? Didn't they? I'm sure you can download. No, no, I've seen it on Amazon. You can download it. It's like, don't waste your money.

Don't do it. Here we go. You ready for this? Don't do it. She told The Hollywood Reporter, everyone was pretty quick to jump on a certain angle after the film's lack of success, and added she had an extra burden on her as a woman of color. Oh, okay.

She said, quote, Yeah, I think that if you actually look at the details of the budget breakdown, I know that the studio had really high expectations for the movie, as we all did. There were also undue expectations on a female-led movie, and what I was most disappointed in was this idea that perhaps it proved that we weren't ready for this yet. That was an extra burden that, as a woman of color director, I already had on me anyway. So yes, I think there were certainly different ways you could interpret the success or lack of success of the movie, and everyone has a right to do that. But I definitely do feel that everyone

was pretty quick to jump on a certain angle. You know what's funny? It's like she's covering her bases. Well, this is absolutely in line with the previous segment we just did on obese people and body positivity stuff. A refusal to accept responsibility for your failure.

Boom. That's all it is. Absolutely. You nailed it. The movie sucked. Boom. Yeah. That's all it is. Absolutely. You nailed it. She doesn't want to say. The movie sucked. Right. There you go. She doesn't want to say it. Thanks for hanging out, everybody.

It's been fun. We're good to go. Yeah, the movie sucked. It did. It was a bad movie. And, you know, I wanted it to be good. I went into this watching it thinking, please be good. Please be.

I was like, you know i i didn't mind suicide squad it was entertaining yeah you know i went in thinking this might be entertaining and i was just like i i don't understand how and it just got worse and worse and worse as the movie went on well a really good a really a really good example of one of these weird things they did was the women were kind of frumpy. Right. So there was one scene where Huntress is looking in the mirror trying to, like, say her name. And it's Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who is very attractive. But they dress her down and they made her look bad.

It's like, look, any person who wakes up and rolls out of bed is not going to look good. Right. Everyone, you know, will trim their beard. Every man will. Well, not every man, but. Whoa, whoa, whoa you know, will trim their beard. Every man will. Well, not every man, but... Whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't trim my beard. You don't trim.

It just, it comes and then I get rid of it. It just comes and goes. That's how I do it. That's how I do it. All right, yeah. Well, the point is people groom themselves. That's true, yes. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa. Hold on. No, I don't. Oh, okay. Everybody takes care of themselves to some degree. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, I'm just kidding. I'm just trying to

but in this movie they have this scene where Huntress is like rolled out of bed and I thought it was strange because yeah there's actually a photo set this woman did and I don't think it was like a feminist thing but she took

pictures of people and then took pictures of them with like pushing out their guts and like mashing their chins and making nasty faces. Yeah. So that people can see like how you can make someone look really good with proper angles. Right. You've done, you've done, I did one photo shoot for a magazine and it was so

incredibly painful. Have you had those experiences with photo shoots? Where they're like, arch your back this way, put your arm like this, now don't move for 20 minutes. I feel like Adam probably has, right? I've been wearing a wool suit in 110 degree weather. And I've also been soaking wet on a glacier. Whoa.

Oh my gosh. And I was told not to be in a sled while snow was being thrown at me. Oh no. Yeah. So I've had both extremes. Yeah, it exists. It sucks to devote yourself for the role that you're hired for.

So what they did in this movie was, so they get, I'm not trying to be mean to these women, okay? I'm just trying to point out, the reason why we choose escapism, why we go into fictional fantasy worlds is to live better to to

experience things that we can't normally experience so when we play video games when we read comics we watch movies we want to see the the the super ripped captain america guy jumping off a building falling 20 stories and then rolling out of it and going like oh and you know he's showing how strong he is right there there is a thing they describe in comics like Batman. He has no superpowers, but he has peak human efficiency. Yeah, exactly. Like he is the best a human could possibly be. Yep.

And we like that. He's achieved some greatness. You know what I really like in comics is I like characters who don't have powers, who have earned it, who are extremely skilled, have technology. I like Iron Man. I like Batman. Yeah. And what I like about the MCU is a lot of the characters, have technology. I like Iron Man. I like Batman. Yeah. And what I like about the MCU is a lot of the characters just have technology.

That's true, yeah. War Machine also. Yep, yep. Falcon. Black Widow. Black Widow. Hawkeye. Yeah.

They're regular people. Yeah. And they're superheroes. That's a good point. I really like that too. I do. I do. And some of them have powers. And like Watchmen was cool.

It was basically about, you know you know well not the new one but the movie in the comic it's about people who are superheroes and they just wear masks and fight so that that's cool that we're looking at the best a human could possibly be birds of prey was not that it was frumpy overweight out of shape failures i was watching this movie and i was like well they're making me feel better about how I look when I get up in the morning. But that's not what I'm here for. Like, I can just look in the mirror. I guess what I'm trying to say is, you know, do we have a superhero movie with a bunch of fat dudes?

Like, out of shape men who can't run very fast? The blob was a bad guy in the X-Men universe. Yeah. That's the only one I can think of. That wasn't a hero, though. That was a mutant power. Yeah, that's a good point. Like, he was indestructible, apparently. Well, nobody liked Thor when he was overweight. Right.

Why would they? That's a good point. They tried to do that. Yeah, they did that. Some people said it was actually cool, and there's a good point that I didn't mind it. Well, with the dreadlocks, it actually looked more like a real Viking would actually look. That's fair. Instead of

like this weird Vendy muscle we do for Hollywood. Well it really just looked like he let himself go and that's what was happening in the film because he blamed himself so he let himself go. Right it was actually part of the plot. Long curly hair dreads naturally. I have long curly hair and I've got dreads in my hair sometimes that I need to get rid of.

As I said, I don't really take care of my hair. I just kind of shove it in this beanie and that's it. That's all I do. I don't get it. It's almost like we've talked about it before. They tried to do like a female Deadpool. Right. You were saying that.

They make these choices where they feel morally justified in making unentertaining and unappealing content. I still want this movie to be better than it was. I actually think of all the movie, was her name Margot Robbie? Yeah.

She's the main character. She did great. I thought she could be a female Deadpool if they did it correctly but they didn't do it correctly they made it all like cheesy instead of like gritty like i wanted it to be gritty gotham this is it was gotham gum i'm honestly just realizing that that was gotham like what wait a minute you know it's like daytime gotham like oh dude that's why it doesn't make sense the movie is just bad like i wanted grittiness full-on huntress made no sense yeah the costumes

were like low budget trash yeah they uh so apparently the the short fat little asian girl was cassandra kane who's supposed to be batwoman and this actually wait seriously bat girl or something like that yeah and it offended a ton of SJW-type comic fans. Okay. Because Cassandra Cain is, as I think Batwoman, has a mental illness. Okay. Or is neuroatypical. And so they basically removed her and created this chubby little Asian girl who in no way is Batwoman.

And people were angry saying that they just ableist washed or whatever they call it. There's no way. Look, they think they're morally justified to making bad content with frumpy characters that are unappealing because it's morally right. No, dude. I want to see a dude who's like doing stupid things like Fast and the Furious. I want to see The Rock

hold a helicopter by a chain and a car and go, ah, and pull the helicopter off from a cliff. So like, you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, it's silly. It's ridiculous. Or Captain America holding the helicopter in Winter Soldier. Less silly.

It's still silly. It's so silly. But it's supposed to be. It's a movie. You don't need to make them, you know, busty, big-t you know women and skimpy clothes right but but the way they did it was like it looked like they rolled out of bed to like make a point about beauty or something yeah i actually really don't want people who look just

like me i don't want it to be relatable i went for a story something different and interesting in deadpool you had that dude who was friends with him you know i'm talking about t.j miller i think his name is yeah that name and he was he was like a crusty bartender right it's fine if somebody is the character is meant to be gross or whatever right but that makes you kind of look down upon them you you hold them in a certain light right exactly like deadpool is gross and funny and he gets like bullet holes through him and you don't actually see him but he's in a costume. Why would the people we're supposed to be rooting for be degenerate, filthy, mongrel types? It doesn't work.

Yeah, I don't get it. You know what? It can work. But it's so thick what they've done. I was watching, and I'm like, I know what they're doing. I know what they're doing. And they even mentioned it. I feel like at some point they talked about how they didn't want to make them attractive. Did they have a reason?

Why? Because it's feminism. Something about the male gaze, I'm sure. Yeah, patriarchy. I'm not going to get anybody's gaze if they're straight. Well, it was rated R so that you couldn't get young girls even though I saw in all the malls when I was like in like the young you know clothing shops the exact same outfits that are skimpy and small and it's like but you're

it's a rated R film who is your demographic? Who? Like if you're. Frumpy feminists on Twitter? Well no wonder it bombed.'s a small window i'm not saying right you know anything about those people but it's like that's if that's all you're catering to and you're expecting the comic book batman like the joker fans that's not what this movie was it was not for them have you ever seen the episode of south park where the hippies throw a festival in south park i don't think so have you seen this i don't know i South Park where the hippies throw a festival in South Park? I don't think so. Have you seen this? I don't know. I don't recall.

So hippies start showing up to South Park and Cartman freaks out. And he tries to go and exterminate the hippies or something ridiculous. Oh. He gets arrested. Okay. The people who are running the city are permitting the hippie jam fest. They eventually realize the hippies are overrunning everything. And there's too many of them.

And they go and talk to Cartman about, like, why are you trying to get rid of the hippies and he was like don't you understand they're going to take over and they're going to have a hippie festival that'll last forever and the mayor goes that'll be great we could use the extra money and he goes hippies don't have money and so that's what i see here they make a movie catering to a tiny fringe sect of weirdos on the internet yeah who don't care to actually see the movie. And then they wonder why no one sees it. Yeah. They think Twitter is real life, right?

Yeah. And it's not. Thank God. Thank God. Yeah. Real people are like, what did I just watch? Like, we walked out confused. Like, do I ask for my money back?

Yes. Can we make the box office numbers go down after the fact? No. I've actually tried getting my money back after seeing the movie. How'd that work? They told me to F off.

Oh. And I was like, but the movie was bad. And they were like, yep, lots of movies are bad. I was like, yeah, it's a good point. Whatever.

You got me there. Yep. But this was definitely, I mean, the scene where she like squats on the roller skates and then Banshee

screams at her butt and projects her forward. What were they thinking with this man? It was really silly. It was awful. But not silly in a good way. No, I know. You're right. You know, like there was one scene where Harley drop kicks a dude.

Okay. It's badass. When she's fighting. There was a slim couple times where it's cool fight scene yep like the evidence lockup exactly that's what she does she drop kicks the guy and i'm like that's cool oh man that might be the only good fight scene right yeah so they they definitely tried doing like the harley's gymnastic you know acrobatic ability and fights and stuff it just didn't work out like when she raids the police department, nothing makes sense. And she's shooting everyone with glitter bombs.

Why were they trying to make it for little kids but rated R? And nobody shot back at her. They were like, who's this person in the police station? Glitter bomb. It was rated R. She should have just used regular bullets. I agree. And killed people.

Glitter bombs. It's like, what? I understand they're trying to go for the Harley, you know, aesthetic laughing gas, glitter bombs and beanbags and all that silliness. That just just doesn't work. Just kind of makes me feel like they're infantilizing women. Yeah, I like it. I thought it was terrible. Well, how about we how about we do one more?

We talk about Jack Dorsey real quick. Yes, I do want to talk about this. Because we'll get to the super chats next. We'll probably go a little bit longer than we usually do. Yeah. But this is actually a really cool story. This is worth talking about for sure. And I think Jack is an okay dude.

My respect to him. I mean, I don't know him. I don't know anything about him. This is the first thing that I know about him other than the fact that he started Twitter. That's it. Jack Dorsey is not Mark Zuckerberg, right? So Mark runs Facebook for all of their problems. It comes down to Mark Zuckerberg. Jack Dorsey was fired from Twitter a long time ago. They brought him back and I am convinced he's not very active. He's the CEO of Square

and Twitter, but I really doubt he's involved in Twitter. Like he's probably to a certain degree, but you know, people are always tweeting at Jack when something bad happens on Twitter and they're blaming him for it. And I think you can criticize him because you know, if he wants to be the face of the company and be the CEO, then he has to, you know, expect people will criticize him for sure. But I don't think he really has anything to do with it. So CNBC reports, Twitter CEO set aside $1 billion in square equity for charity coronavirus relief. Hey, man. How much is too much?

That is incredible. I mean, for the billionaires, for the 0.1%, I believe, right? Exactly. For that small little sliver of human beings that have that amount of wealth, if they could even spend it in their lifetime, I don't even know if it's possible. But for this man to give up almost a third of it, just to help everyone, that's props to this dude, man. That's amazing.

We'll grab the context and then we'll talk about it. They say Square and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said Tuesday, he will set aside $1 billion in his Square equity to support relief efforts for COVID-19 and other causes once the pandemic is over. In a series of tweets, Dorsey said that after the pandemic is over, he will dedicate the money to causes like universal basic income and girls' health and education. He said he's pulling the shares from his stake in Square instead of Twitter because he owns more stock in Square. Dorsey said he'll cash in the shares over time. The impact of this money will have should benefit both companies over the long term

because it's helping the people we want to serve. Dorsey said that he wants to see the impact of his donation during his lifetime and that the needs are increasingly urgent. He also said he hopes it will inspire others to do something similar. That's the others I was talking about. The others who have that, that don't need it. First, there's his choices. There's politics in this for sure.

He's a lefty dude. The girls and women's education stuff. Yeah, yeah. But look, if some dude makes a ton of money and then wants to donate it to whatever cause they want to, I really don't. It's his choice. Yeah, exactly. Welcome to capitalism. He's got the money he can spend how he sees fit.

But there was this funny meme where I guess bill gates donated 50 million and people are like bill gates is worth what is he worth like 60 70 billion dollars something yeah and he gives away like 70 billion is that i don't know you want can you look up what bill gates is that one of those but a lot more than jack dorsey right right right so so 50 million is like chump change for someone like him jack dorsey is a pretty lefty dude. And I think there's a lot of people like him that are good spirited, misguided perhaps. And that can lead to really negative things. You know, they say the path to hell is paved with good intentions.

Yep. This I dig. This I think is respectable. Because I remember seeing like Oprah, for instance, giving out cars. And everyone's like, oh, that's so amazing. Oprah's giving everybody cars and all that stuff. And it's like she's not giving anybody anything, dude. Yeah.

The car company is doing it. It's a promo. They're using her show to market a product. Yep. Now everyone's going to be driving around in that car. No, they had to pay taxes on it. Yeah. All of a sudden people had like a tax liability of like $5,000 or some ridiculous number they couldn't pay.

And so they were like selling them. But it's not just that. She's a billionaire. So when she gives away like a couple hundred thousand dollars, it's like it is a lot of money. I get it. But relative to how much she's earned. Right. You know, when I see somebody who's making minimum wage give up like $100 a week, then that's that's legit that's like a huge portion

of your income it's probably irresponsible so they say dorsey said he wants to see the impact of his donation during his lifetime and that the needs are read that dorsey also tweeted a link to public a public google doc where people can track which organization the funds money will go to that's that's surprising and seriously like you can actually check it out. Dorsey isn't the only technologist to fund coronavirus relief efforts. Though he's doing it on a big scale, Amazon's Jeff Bezos has said he is donating $100 million to U.S. food banks. Now stop right

there for a second. Bezos has shares his access is like $130 billion or some ridiculous number. Dorsey, three. So I'll give some respect to Jack Dorsey. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla, donated $25 million towards creating treatments for coronavirus through their philanthropic organization, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

And the Bill Gates Foundation has said it will spend billions to fight coronavirus, according to the Wall Street Journal. Jack Dorsey has done way more than anyone else in regards to actually doing right by this. And having met the guy and talked to him, I think there are issues with Twitter. I think he absolutely needs to step up. I don't know if he can. I think he's more of a figure, like I said, like a mascot. The criticism for him, if he wants to be the CEO, is legit.

But this is cool. I mean, how many people are willing to give up that 30% of their total net worth when there's like a real emergency or something? I mean, probably the ratio is really small because 30% of your net worth for most people is like, they, they would go bankrupt.

You know, most people, most people already are negative. Exactly. So most people are negative. Exactly. From something. i was reading this this i think it was from like forbes okay and it was talking about the net worth of people based on age okay 29 was when their net worth went positive a thousand dollars on average like if you're 29 your net worth is like a thousand bucks wow and it's mostly because of college or just because a lot of young people don't have money right but yeah from like 18 until 28 negative net worth and then you know

you enter 30 now you have a thousand dollars and that at 31 you've got like seven thousand dollars and then by the time they're 40, they have like $50,000. So after all of these years of working, they finally flip it positive. Yeah. Jack Dorsey, how old is that guy? He's like, is he 40, I think? Yeah, he looks like he could be 40. Yeah.

And so he started a bunch of companies. He made a bunch of money. 43. 43. So his net worth is certainly higher than a lot of people. Now, this will be interesting because he might say he wants to do a bunch of good things with this. But what do you think happens when you just pour money out a window, right? Reminds me of that Family Guy episode where Peter gets in the blimp with Brian and they dump bags of money into the football stadium.

Oh, yeah. I've seen that episode. And then everyone starts fighting over it and hitting each other and it causes chaos and pandemonium so what happens now with him giving up his wealth like will it work i don't know and where's it gonna go what what organizations do maybe we can actually just pull up the google doc is this gonna yeah it looks like it's gotta oh hey there we go look at that so america's food fund oh i guess no he's choosing but you can watch what he's done with it okay wow that's a lot of money so it's there and it's well it's the google doc the numbers are there see maybe this will actually help people understand how stock works maybe they'll understand liquid cash or something. I don't know. Maybe not. Because he set aside a billion dollars worth of value.

How many shares is that? No idea. Is he doing it by value or by share? The current share price is 50 bucks. Yep. Oh, that's a lot of shares. So he set aside... Oh, and then it says number of shares to be transferred, almost 20,000. 19,833.

Oh, no. That's 19 million. Sorry, i thought that was a period yeah okay 19 million shares so what happens what happens now if because he's dumping these stocks people start selling square he has a stock in a tank and then it's like all of a sudden now the current value is only 200 million yeah no i might not take it might go up but him selling 20 million shares yeah that typically is going to drop the price substantially that's tricky so i'm not an expert on trading but when there is a massive sell-off the way it works is like you have you have you have bids so every like let's say you have 100 people one person says i'll pay a dollar next person says i'll pay pay $1. Next person says, I'll pay $2. And it goes up to $100. So right now, the current bid to buy is $100.

So if I say I'm going to sell a stock, I sell it for $100. The next available is $99. The next stock sells for $99. Every time you sell, the value of your stock drops to the next. So there will be people who specifically say, oh, what's this? Jack Dorsey is selling Square stock at 50 bucks a share. I'm going to put in an order to buy once it hits 40 bucks

because it's definitely going to tank. And then once it sells off and the price is going back up, I'll have bought it in a premium. So now you're probably going to see a bunch of people moving to buy at lower prices. I'm speculating. And then the total value will drop dramatically. We'll see if it actually works out. I think it's cool that he's doing it.

Do you think the politics of it would help drive up the value of the company at all? I don't really know how that works. It could be a, I mean, look, he's personally giving up a lot of money. Yeah. Regardless of what the value of the stock is. It's his. But. It's personally his.

How much stock does he have left in the company? Presumably a bit more, maybe even another 20 million shares. And how much does he, is he, is he hoping this might actually drive up the value? But I'll tell you what, man, I respect it. You know why? I've been thinking about a long time about a really great marketing game, like a marketing plan where companies would compete to do the most social good. And imagine if, like, McDonald's would have like a budget, a ridiculous budget for a commercial.

Million bucks, two million bucks. I'm like, what could you do with that in terms of social good? What if instead of doing a commercial where The Rock shows up in a parachute and breaks through the roof of McDonald's and then orders a Big Mac? I'm just being silly.

What if instead of paying all that money, you took a cell phone and filmed yourself out, you know, filmed yourself paying people's medical bills. And then, you know, you know what I would do if I was a company, I was going to do an ad. I'd be like, for the next 30 seconds, you're going to watch us go around and pay off people's medical debt. And then when we, in the last 10 seconds, I'll be like, this was a commercial for our product. Straight up. We did this. We spent a million bucks paying off people's medical debt

to get your attention because we want you to buy our cheeseburgers. I'm not saying it's a good idea. I prefer commercials where people are like, buy our cheeseburger because it's got beef and cheese on it. But if you look at how much money they spend on stupid things like a zebra breaks through the window and then Mountain Dew is exploding through the pipes and people are like whoa we spent all that money I would I would I would be actually I would actually be more inclined to buy the product if

they were like instead of wasting all that money we filmed an extremely low budget commercial helped a bunch of people you know we found some people who are you know lost their jobs and we helped them start a business yeah I'd be like and and this is not an actor. I'm actually the CEO of the company. Yeah. Talking about my company. If they had a 30 second commercial where the guy was like, I am straight up and unashamedly telling you that we dumped this money in an effort to get your attention because we figured what better way to get your attention than to literally spend money doing something really,

really great. They can't be ignored. And so, hey, it's a win-win, right? Bunch of homeless people get helped. You guys figure out we got a product. Like, actually, remember when, I think it was KFC? That's monetizing virtue signaling. I mean, yeah, why not?

But why not? Yeah, I know. Remember when, like, the best case scenario for virtue signaling? Yeah, you can make it good. It's like, we were going to spend money, but instead we helped a lot of people. Here's our product. Yeah, why not? Remember, was it KFC was fixing of people. Here's our product. Yeah, why not?

Remember, was it KFC was fixing potholes? I think it was, yeah. Oh, I don't know. Oh, no, it was a delivery company. It was a pizza company that went around filling those dominoes. They were like, we'll fill the pothole and then put our logo on it. And I'm like, that's awesome. That's pretty great.

Oh, the socialists were angry. Oh, really? Yeah, because they were like, why is the pizza, like, they call it late-stage capitalism, that pizza companies are required to fix this stuff. And I'm like. Required to? I'm like, that's actually great. Yeah, why?

Like, they have no, it works. That's a positive. Like, you walk outside and there's a Domino's thing on the street and you're like, that's silly. Oh, hey, they fixed that pothole. Sweet. Somebody got a flat tire and they show up the next day and pizza. Delivery guy. Domino's is fixing it.

They're like, hey, awesome. Oh, thanks, Domino's. We'll see. We'll see how it plays out. I mean, regardless of what's going on, I think it's cool. Politics aside, I think I think I guess I have another question. We can we can a little bit longer. How much is too much?

Oh, that's a good question. Like like profit. Like how much does a human really need to make before they're like, I don't need to make any more money. Every single dime that I would have made after this point, after this amount, goes to charities. Is that what you're talking about? Not even about charities necessarily. Or not necessarily charities. Because why would I trust every, you know.

True, true. Giving it to the things that I want to do. Like what he's doing with this, you know, Google chart. You can see where the money's going. Like Jack Dorsey literally couldn't buy anything else i i guess i guess he could because a billion you know if you want to go to mars i guess you can give elon a billion dollars and get that first class ticket sure but there are things you can't buy no matter how rich you are there are limits i don't know if the goal of all these billionaires is to like eventually get to the point where they

can buy a rocket to Mars. Elon Musk is doing it. Have you seen Altered Carbon? Yeah. Dude, that's what they want. Well, if Jack Dorsey was – he's like, I would like to download my brain into a chip that I can plant in other bodies and transfer my consciousness. You're going to need a bit more than a billion dollars. Probably.

Might not be possible, but – No, no, no. You're saying what would they need or want? And it's like that's probably the only thing remaining is immortality because they have everything. But do people really want to be immortal? Those people? I don't know, man. I feel like when you have power, you don't want to let it go.

So greed corrupts right but i feel like not everybody gets corrupted to the point of that i was wanting to be immortal to have power forever well i was watching something where they said that everybody who's young doesn't want to die and once you get older and life gets harder and you're in pain yeah then you're like i don't want to be immortal well that's because you're in pain but if you were constantly 24 you'd probably always want to live're like, I don't want to be immortal. Well, that's because you're in pain, but if you were constantly 24, you'd probably always want to live. Yeah, exactly. So doesn't Peter Thiel do, like, youth blood transfusions?

Oh, gosh. Is this an urban legend? I have no idea. I do not mean to impugn the integrity of Peter Thiel. It's just a story I heard. What is that? Adrenochrome? Adrenochrome. I'm not saying it is a thing, but that's the vibe of what they would be after.

There's a story that billionaires in Silicon Valley hire young people to exercise and be healthy and eat healthy. And then once a week, they transfer blood. They trade blood. Wow. So I have four articles here. One says Teal is very, very transfer blood. They trade blood. Wow. So I have four articles here. One says, Teal is very, very interested in young people's blood. The second says, he is not harvesting the blood of the young. The third said, he wants to inject himself.

And the fourth said, the FDA is warning against this. Wow. So I don't really know. All of you, please. Well, so the idea is that by transfusing youthful blood, it actually repairs like your blood is now younger. And so it's healthier and it makes your body look better. It does seem to make sense. Kind of makes sense.

Yeah. Yeah. Maybe it's just an urban legend, but that's what people were always saying. Yeah. There's definitely something there. I don't know. Maybe some people do want to be immortal. Maybe they'll eat healthy because of it.

I heard a quote. I don't know. I wonder what people think about uh uh mr dorsey let's grab the super chats yes let's do that and then we will uh we're getting close to wrapping up we went a little longer today so make sure you hit the subscribe button hit the like button hit the notification bell and follow us our names are up above our heads instagram and twitter yeah yeah hit me up with some story ideas if you want. I actually tweeted out, you know, what is your most conspiracy ideas you want us to talk about? Lots of people responded, and I appreciate you guys all hitting me up with that.

But if you've got any cool ideas, send them my way. A lot of people are sending me ideas that we've actually talked about already. Yeah, man. So that's okay. I just um you know scroll through our keep them coming keep them coming though i really appreciate it all right i'm going to have to just pick a random spot because we have we are just completely slammed with uh with super chats so i'm just going to start from where i can if i don't get to you i apologize deck says tim i'm a libertarian who leans right the far left is becoming too hard to deal with.

Yes, I certainly agree. Harry To says, Tim, I was watching your skateboarding on YouTube. You're pretty freaking good. Well, those are old videos. No, no, no. He's pretty freaking good. He's even better now. What I'm saying is I'm actually substantially better.

Whoa, whoa. I don't know about that. Humility. I'm substantially better than all of those videos. I'm just kidding. I know, yes. It's true. Axel.

Video coming soon yeah man axel and jen thanks for becoming uh members joseph says the virus and the government reaction is not like a normal illness we didn't react like this for bird swine flu ebola or zika but the government did react to anthrax like this honestly worried your local hazmat worker yeah uh bird and swine flu weren't nearly as bad eb is a very, very inefficient virus that struggles to transmit itself. Right. This is like an airborne two-week transmission. This is like a scary, you know.

Yeah, it can be asymptomatic. Yeah. Paxton says, what about us? My belly aches and these land whales are slow, just the way I like. Wow. Logan Porter says, hey, Tim, been watching for a few years. Don't always agree, but I love your honesty. When it comes to fat shaming, I'll just say this.

Losing over 150 pounds is hard, but not impossible. Semper Fidelis. Super props. Yeah. Matt says, Everyone should be rooting for Elon Musk to get Starlink up and running soon. Even if the world ends, we'd still have internet spanning the globe for as long as they can keep orbit. That is awesome. That is pretty cool. But astronomers are really angry because you can see them in the night sky.

Yeah, they're messing up the instruments. Kevin Ferguson says, says off subject watch the quartering video hope you're doing okay uh fyi i have three stepbrother appreciate it rb says hello from kansas sir tim of beanie soy jesus and miss of white run hello andrea says do you think the fda should lift regulations preventing farmers to sell directly to the public. If this happened, farmers could stop destroying product. But there are safety concerns as well. Thoughts? I don't know. I'm not a farmer.

I didn't know that was a thing. Yeah, me neither. It makes sense. Why shouldn't they be able to sell to their neighbors or the people in need? Yeah. Especially if they're going to throw the product away. Totally. Z Polar Bear says, BMI is BS.

I did power lifting and no power lifter body fat percentage is the most accurate yeah bmi doesn't account for like ripped muscular people yes but how many of those people are there in the u.s right most people are overweight yeah super free education says how cool is it that you have your own news show and can nerd out about anime in passing life is good too yeah well yeah i just would just say whatever i want. I'll second that. Everett Beattie says, it's okay to have yuck yucks. You're going to need them soon. Grab the van and move on. The window for it won't last
