Timcast IRL - TimcastIRL #43 - Woke Twitter SHREDS Ellen Degeneres For Comparing Lockdown To Being In Jail

Episode Date: April 9, 2020

Twitter is up in arms, again, about Ellen DeGeneres... Again. This time it's about a joke Ellen, a comedian, made about her current situation. We feign outrage at the feigned outrage and a good time is had by all the bored people. Then, rent-skipping comes to stay (possibly) as one THIRD of tenants opt out of paying rent during the pandemic. Finally, the perks of masculinity make male feminists look really bad as some valuable traits appear to be intrinsic parts of masculinity.  Merch - https://teespring.com/stores/timcast-2 Podcast available on iTunes and Spotify, coming soon to all podcast platforms!

How's it going, everybody? Welcome to the show. I am Tim Poole. And I'm Adam Krigler. What up? How you guys doing? And we're also joined by... The Invisible Lady. The Invisible Lydia of Whiterun. Yes. Boy, do I have good news for everybody.

And you can tell by the title of this stream. Guess what we are going to talk about today? Celebrity gossip. Yay! Celebrity gossip! It's actually... Woo! It's, it's... You know...

Okay, man. As long as it's not the apocalypse i'm kind of happy because there was this period where it was like every day we'd sit down and be like what's in the news today oh coronavirus somebody somebody so i don't know if you guys have heard bernie sanders quit yep and somebody tweeted something they were like i would like to thank bernie sanders bernie sanders for giving us something other than coronavirus to talk about yeah and i was like here here because like the top four national trends were like a million tweets about bernie and biden and we're not even going to talk about that oh no we're not

no way no i'm not interested no we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna have a more fun time a bunch of uh it's it's woke twitter yeah and they're just tearing ellen degeneres apart because she made a stupid joke about how being locked down is like being in jail. Yeah. And it's like, part of me is like, well, it's a bit insensitive, you know? And then I'm like...

You're like, oh, wait a minute. I made that joke. I made that joke yesterday. Yeah. And I just don't care. Yeah. And then like we were sitting here and I was like, you know what's really happening?

Ellen made a joke. These woke Twitter people are pretending to be angry about it because they're bored and we're pretending to be angry that they're angry because we're bored too. And that's just how the internet works. For real, dude. So much of every kind of political content is people pretending to be mad about something.

That's so true. I'm angry. Well, someone out there somewhere might be angry. That's why I'm angry. Right? Wait, what? But like all of the all of this anti-trump stuff so one of the funny things i was talking about earlier today was that

uh snopes actually fact-checked the new york times as false it's not kind of the new york times but a bunch of articles like the huffington post were like donald trump owns a stake in the company that makes the you know the coronavirus treatment he's been pushing. And it's like, he doesn't. It's just not true. Snopes actually fact-checked him. But it's because they need to pretend to be angry. How insane, man. When you actually get fact-checked by Snopes, and they're like, being honest,

that must have been really bad. Snopes is like, all right, guys, we're going to actually do some work today. They didn't want to. You know, they were like, don't make me do it, boss. How can we put ice cream into this somehow? Let's use it. The boss walks up to the staff, and he's like, I hate to have to do this to you guys, but. You're going to have to work.

You're going to have to fact check the New York Times. No, not the New York Times. Don't make me do it. And then like. They pay our bills. No, I don't know. Somebody writes it, and the boss is like sent sent the draft and he's got his finger over the enter key to like submit. He's like, I can't do it.

And then like – Someone else comes and pushes the hand down. His secretary, she's like, be a man. And she pushes his hand. It's enter. New York Times fake news. The story was so insanely fake. They had no choice.

Yep. That's how insane it was very insane well well today we got a couple stories for you we got some fun science stuff we got how to be a man yeah you know testosterone makes men more honest and there is a real tough man versus a fake tough man yep and we got um we got i think we got some stuff oh yeah no one's paying rent this is crazy well there's people paying rent, but there's a good chunk that are just not paying rent. A third of people just didn't pay rent.

That's not really surprising, though. We will break down for you how many of them are just communists and how many of them actually just lost their jobs and are in serious trouble and need help.

There's my handle. Hit me up on Twitter. That's the best way to send me ideas. There you go. Yeah, on Twitter and Instagram. Well, let's talk about Miss Ellen DeGeneres. Ah, the poor multi-millionaire TV celebrity who is stuck in her mansion

while the help cleans her windows. So she's getting ripped apart by woke twitter and it's it's kind of woke twitter not the wokest of twitter it's just the blue checky journalist types that are piling on yeah just you know what they're piranhas there was blood in the water yeah none of them actually care about ellen at all they're making fun jokes they're like oh i can make some funny joke and they're like well do you really care about ellen no, oh, I can make some funny joke. And they're like, well, do you really care about Alan? No, no, no. But I can make funny jokes out of it, though. It's like that's what we're seeing. It's like a mob, you know? Yeah, it's just it's a mob of people running through the street screaming and one person does something and everyone else wants to be a part of it. So

they jump in. No one really knows why they're angry. But hey, man, it's fun to be a part of the crowd, right? It's true. So here's here's what we've got an excellent source for you today. Our source today is Cosmopolitan Magazine, the bastion of great journalism. And here's what they wrote. Since it's incredibly unsafe to go outside, if you're not an essential worker these days, many celebrities have been social distancing in their gigantic homes while slowly unraveling. We saw it happen with Gal Gadot and her celebrity friends who decided to sing Imagine instead of donating some of their millions. We saw it happen when Vanessa Hudgens

went on Instagram Live and said deaths related to COVID were inevitable. And we're seeing it again with Ellen DeGeneres. As part of her new temporary Ellen show setup, Ellen sat in her living room in front of a floor- front of a floor to ceiling window overlooking lush greenery after giving some words of encouragement to her fans ellen then compared her new normal to being in jail she first joked today i am filming this in my living room because it has been because it has the best light and sound and all the other rooms in my house are filled with toilet paper then she added this is like being in jail mostly because i've been wearing the same clothes for 10 days and everyone here is gay there is so much wrong with that joke from a woke perspective

that's true first of all wearing the same clothes is like the least of the issue of being in jail right but also saying everyone is gay wow that's that's bold to make a rape joke about our prison system it's true no wonder she's getting torn up a bit. Yeah, it's a little, it's different than I expected it to be. I actually didn't hear that whole, the whole thing. Yeah, the people there aren't gay by choice in many of those circumstances. Yeah. So, look.

Or they're not gay at all. Right. And things just happen. Yeah, dude. That they have no say in. Not funny, but you know what? I'm not somebody who gets bent out of shape because someone said a joke I don't find funny. Yeah. I'm like, oh, I get what she was going for. Yeah, I don't care. Yeah. I'm an adult. I've got bills to pay. I'm not going to cry about this.

Well, apparently there are people who will cry about it, and we all expect it as much. Obviously, this is a tone-deaf comment to make any time, but it's especially grating now as inmates have an increased risk of catching coronavirus and feel like sitting ducks. One man at a facility in Louisiana even told NPR they have not done anything to isolate anybody here at all. People are still coughing every night, man. There are a bunch of sickly people in this camp. I just pray something happens soon. Surely that's not what's happening in whichever mansion Ellen decided to social distance and film her daily talk show in. Just a hunch. Predictably, after people watched this segment, they dragged Ellen for the comparison, making this one of the many times in recent

memory that people were not laughing along with her. They say, remember the Dakota Johnson interview and when she hung out with George W. Bush? One variety writer. Oh, here comes woke Twitter. Carolyn Frampke tweeted, what a great look for Ellen as thousands of people sit in actual jail cells just hoping for the best without soap and basic protection. Others said Ellen really is the worst and people are dying. I'm afraid to leave my house every day, but I have to. But OK, go off, Ellen. Social isolation is bad, stressful and causes increased depression and anxiety, but it ain't jail. I mean, there are so many tweets about this.

Some of the tweets are actually pretty funny. I love this one. Look at it. Reductress said, it's sort of like being in prison, says woman eating yogurt in bed who also has voting rights. So I don't care if Ellen makes a stupid joke. It is kind of telling, though, when you see that other video, that video that you found. Oh, yeah. But do you want to go straight to the darkness?

I mean, it just touched on that, though. It just was talking about exactly that. It's like, we're going to go straight for the darkness. Yeah, straight into it. It's fitting. Look at this. I'm actually going to play this video because it's kind of brutal. It is pretty brutal. It's true.

I mean, they have masks, but they're but they're not they're they're not right next to each other yep cram their rooms so there's uh uh this video that's gone viral and we got to be careful because we've seen viral videos in the past just because it's i mean it's true yeah but it's but it's it's purportedly of a dude in jail and one dude's wheezing because he's got covid and this this dude filming is like, what are we supposed to do? This dude's literally dying right now. I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. And he's like, he's just sitting right here.

I can't go anywhere. Yeah, he's like, we can't even social distance. Meanwhile, you got Ellen chilling in her mansion like, oh, man, I'm in jail. Hee hee. So here's the funny thing. The people are dying quote. Right. You know what, man?

I hear you. People are dying quote right you know what man i hear you people are dying yeah but they've said that about literally everything it's it's like it's true you walk outside and like some kid drops a glass of milk and they're like people are dying and you're like it's spilled milk dude i to use a silly analogy but they literally cry about everything yeah some food like the biscuit i didn't finish eating the biscuit you You know, they're starving people. No, but people are dying, as a quote, is used in every single social justice protest. So, like, if you say something like,

I believe in free speech, they'll go, people are dying. You're like, I have no idea what that has to do with, like, Louis C.K. making an offensive joke. I'm sorry, I just don't understand. But that's what they say. So now it's funny because one of the things we've talked about is how the social justice activists kind of have no leg to stand on because a lot of their vanity politics,

nobody cares now that people are dying. Yep, exactly. But now they're like, people are dying. And it's like, well, this time you're right. All right. Those other times don't count. You got me now. Yeah, this time. That's why it's like, well, this time you're right. All right. Those other times. You got me now. Yeah, this time.

That's why it's funny. I think it's funny that we're reading like woke Twitter and Cosmo making fun of Ellen and we're all like enjoying it. There's like something interesting, like something amazing is happening. Alyssa Milano came out and she she sides with Joe Biden. Yeah. And then both sides of the culture were come together in harmony, holding hands to make fun of Alyssa Milano. Yeah. And you get Bernie Sanders dropping out today and then you get the Trump supporters and the Bernie Sanders supporters like holding hands

in harmony like ragging on the Democratic establishment. It's weird I said it like a month and a half ago when this whole thing started happening like is this going to be our space race like that's going to bring everyone together and it really does feel that way we're all coming together like realizing celebrities

aren't really that special you know what's really special is the people that are being i mean they're not going out and working by choice they have no choice they have to go work it's like we're all calling them heroes and but they have no choice it's like they're risking their lives to be out in man the countless different things that they're doing you know i can only think of the lord of the rings meme which one gimli he looks at uh uh legolas legolas and he's like i never thought i'd die fighting beside an elf oh yeah and i'm like i never thought i'd laugh at jokes by woke twitter making fun of you know a celebrity side by side so there's a there's they just show a bunch of tweets but uh i gotta be honest it's just people trying to get on the bandwagon does anybody really care that ellen made a stupid joke no it

has nothing to do with ellen right it's like oh i can make a funny joke and people will spread it around and i'll get some hits and i'll get some like i want to play i want to play and yeah you know that's what it is they tweet it what and and somebody just like quoted it some. They tweet it. Mm-hmm. And somebody just, like, quoted it. Some of it's just not even... Like, I'm angry about this. What is this? Yeah, Ellen might want to address this on her next YouTube video. Well, she deleted the video, apparently. Oh, did she?

Yeah, I guess she took it down. That's what... Oh, no, it's right here, isn't it? Is it up? Okay, it's up. I'm not going to play that. I do not want to hear that music. Thank you.

Yeah, apparently some people were saying it. I mean, celebrities have been, for the most part, going insane. Really feels like it. What is this? that i do not want to hear that thank you yeah apparently some people were saying it uh i mean celebrities have been uh for the most part going insane and what is this can we not are you gonna we can you're giving me the business okay i guess they kicked me out because i i uh what is this oh i see what happened they were like why don't you uh why don't you pay for this so we we covered uh i don't want to we covered it, but we made fun of celebrities quite a bit a couple weeks ago. It's fun. And

everyone seems to be in on it. It's kind of a cool thing. Like, hey, let's make fun of these people. It's cool because we used to just needlessly prop them up. Everybody wanted to know who they were, what they were wearing, where they took poops. You know what I mean? People would hide in bushes

and take pictures of them. Now everyone's just making fun of them. So as much as like the Ellen DeGeneres thing is a bunch of people who just don't actually care about Ellen, but they want to be a part of the crowd. I kind of dig it. You know what? I feel like there's one celeb that might be above this. Ryan Reynolds? Bill Murray.

Bill Murray! Bill Murray can just do whatever he wants like who's a cook is a handful yeah there's a few i don't know i feel like uh bill murray is he's kind of like the craziest one yeah of them all that can just pop into your party and be like hey what up if bill murray's not gonna he's not gonna lose it though i feel like he lost it long ago ago. Bill Murray made a video and he was like, hey, everybody, you know, Bill Murray here. I hope you're all staying safe. Just want to make sure you're doing all right and you're staying home. Have a good one.

Then people would be like, whoa, what happened to this guy? Oh, my God. Wait, Bill Murray's normal. Yeah. He's a normal celebrity. Say something crazy. He's like, you know, kind of like a Ryan Reynolds kind of character. Yeah.

Ryan Reynolds is kind of like Bill Murray. Yeah, yeah. So I'm not going to read through this article, but it's just funny because New York, this is the cut from the, from New York mag. The celebs are losing it. I saw this and I said to myself, I read this article two weeks ago. Yeah. They keep losing it. Yeah. They're consistently losing it. But this just came out like five days, six days ago. Yeah, it's like a week ago. And then we have, this one's funny, from The Spectator. Why we love to hate celebrities. One world together at home is a weirdly complacent name. And this is just, again, it's not that I care to like read the opinion pieces about celebrities.

Yeah. But I noticed there was something unifying all of us. We used to be unified by knowing these celebrities and talking about them. Now we're unified in our hatred of them. Our love slash hatred. Well, you know what's interesting? I heard that, you know, Bollywood in India. So, like, for those that don't know, it's like India is Hollywood.

I heard that in India, they're looked down upon. Whereas in, like, the United States, celebrities are looked up to. Okay. Yeah, so I don't know if that's true. Oh, okay. People have said to me that in India, they don't consider it to be a high-class kind of thing. Where in America, they're celebrities. They're the rich and the wealthy and the famous, and everyone wants to be like them and all that stuff.

Now we're just making fun of them all. That's kind of a cool thing because if we can discourage people from trying to be like these awful people, then, you know... And be more like doctors. Yeah. Or grocery store food stockers. Well, no, I was talking about like... I mean, sure, yeah,

that's a necessity right now. But, you know, back in the day, it was more like, you know, you aspire to be like a doctor or the president or an astronaut or a scientist that discovers life on another planet. You know what kids want to be today?

Celebrities. Kind of. You're close. It's more specific. Influencers. Even closer. You're getting warm. Oh, what is it?

You want the answer? Yeah, just tell me. YouTuber. Oh, really? Yep. I mean, it might have. Okay. So this was, I think, last year they did a survey, like, what do you want to answer yeah just youtuber oh really yep i mean it might okay so this was uh i think last year that a survey like what do you want to be when you're an adult and like the biggest group said youtuber like youtube famous and then there was um i i would imagine today

it's like tiktok okay yeah but you want you guys want to hear a funny story because you weren't you weren't around for this sure when i first moved to this house okay i i'm like it's kind of empty and there's a knock on the door and i walk up to the door and i open it and there's a bunch of like 14 year old girls standing on my porch with their arms crossed like you know looking all i don't know sassy 14 year old girl like and then one girl's like she looks at me me and she goes, are you a famous YouTuber? And I was like, what? And she goes, my mom says you're a famous YouTuber. And I laughed and I was like, I don't know. And she goes, I bet you're rich.

And I laughed. I was like, what? And she goes, yeah. And then the other girl was like, my dad said you're really rich. And I'm like, who? I just moved here. Who are you people? Yeah, what?

Who's going around and saying all these things is not true. And I was like, your parents probably make way more than I do. And then they were like, I can't remember what they asked me, but I was like, is that all you wanted to know? Can I go back to, like, playing video games or playing Warcraft or something? Oh, man. But I think the reason, I don't know why they came here and did it. It was funny. I was like, these weird little kids.

You're a mini celebrity to them. Well, no, but to me, I grew up in an era of YouTube. So YouTube to me isn't special. It's interesting because I feel like we're always looking up to the people who came before us. And so to the person, like, man, when you get to that point, when you're in your 30s and you're like, you are the head of your office or something. Okay. Like, let's say you're no longer the apprentice. You've now taken over the principal task at your company.

Maybe you've become like the chief chef or whatever. To you, it's just normal. It's like, I've been here for a long time and now I'm doing my thing. Yeah. But other people come in, they look at you and you're like, you're the man, you're the boss. Right. So for me, it's like, I'm just a guy who started filming myself. I don't know anything about YouTube.

But these younger people see YouTubers, and they're like rock stars. Yeah, you were there when there was no YouTube. Yeah. So now you've seen it, and you've grown with it. But for me, it's still like it reminds me of that episode of The Simpsons where Homer wanted to be an inventor. And then he made that uh he's like he was obsessed with thomas edison so he made this little chart showing edison and all the things he'd invented by a certain time frame and then him okay and then when he finally went to edison's like office

museum or whatever he saw the exact same thing where it said da vinci and edison and so he was like wow it's just like me. It's like kind of a stupid thing because Edison was just like a businessman. Right. But that's kind of the idea. It's like these kids look at me on YouTube and they think like, oh, wow. And for me, I'm kind of like I'm looking at TV anchors and like multimillionaire network hosts. Who's the person you look up to?

Look up to? Up to, yeah, yeah. I wouldn't say I look up to anybody. No? I'd say like in terms of production quality and wealth and success, it would be like primetime cable news anchors or personalities. But no one in particular?

No, I mean, I think one of the things that'll lead you to success is thinking everyone's a moron. So I think everybody on TV is stupid. Like Ellen especially, you know. But I mean... Pretty sure she can take a joke. No, I don't really think TV is stupid. Like Ellen, especially. But I mean... Pretty sure she can take a joke. No, I don't really think she's stupid. She's obviously smart enough to be successful in everything she's done.

So that means she's avoided pitfalls and has been able to expand her company. In terms of the news space, I think no one does it better than Joe Rogan. Whether he will publicly say it or not. He's the highest. He does shows where interviews smart scientists and stuff. And it's like the biggest podcast in the world. Yeah. So, you know, I look at the cable TV people and I do think it's fascinating that they have less influence. These were the that's like the old guard. It's kind of fading away and dying out. So anyway, that's that's kind of the point you know whether whether it matters or not as for the celebrities i'm actually excited that the old traditional tv

style stuff is burning out and they're trying to be youtube stars yep they're trying to dive into youtube and now they come in and not working nope it's like get out my house that's literally what ellen was doing i. And it ended up blowing up in her face. I mean, everyone's talking about Ellen right now. So, it's like Alyssa Milano. Everyone's talking about Alyssa Milano. Yeah, but... Maybe that's all she

wanted was just people talking about her. Maybe. But they're more sensitive to high-profile brands. I don't think that's exactly what Ellen was doing, though. She wasn't trying to get attention. No, no, I know. That's what I'm saying. She's just corny. Yeah, she's quirky. And honestly, it is kind of funny.

You know, if you take out any of the offense, being offended part of it, it's kind of funny. It's like something George Carlin would say. And it's like, oh, well, that's what George Carlin would say. It's like, well... Her saying it's like being in jail, that's the say and it's like oh well that's what George Carlin would say you know but listen it's like well her saying it's like being in jail that's the joke it's like ironic right that she's a wealthy individual in a mansion comparing to jail like that's literally the joke

exactly now that everyone here is gay I thought was pretty brazen considering you know gay so maybe that was part of the joke right well. Well, and her wife is also gay. Yeah, and so I mean... But I mean, talking about prisons and the people there don't go in like... Voluntarily gay. You know, she's... Look, I'm not going to complain about a joke that's offensive. I'm the last person to.

I'm the one who turns on the Count Dankula videos and laughs at them, and they're like as offensive as they possibly come. But, you know, you give the woke Twitterati an opportunity to pretend to be angry yeah there you go yeah exactly that's that's really it nailed it yeah all right so uh shall we shall we just jump over and talk about the uh the rent stuff yeah let's do it so the so the next bit we got for you guys is actually on a more serious note and I thought it was it was a good segue because we just talked about Ellen DeGeneres and her fancy mansion and the celebrities with all their glorious wealth.

Yeah. And now we have the other side of things, the people who don't live in mansions, who live in cubicles in New York and can't afford to pay rent because most of them lost their jobs at some point in March. And now they're not paying them. And this is also interesting because over a week ago, we were talking about it. Tick tock the time bomb when rent won't get paid. Yeah. And the ripple effect it'll have in the economy so they're they're doing this thing with the cares act the stimulus package that all businesses can apply for like a three-month loan that will cover your payroll and then as long as it goes to payroll you don't got to pay it back so it it's basically a grant. That's really cool. It is,

but I'm, I'm curious as to what the long-term effects are going to be. Yeah. Because it's printing more money, right? Yeah. Just, well, we got it. You got, what you got to understand too, is there are a lot of businesses that don't need it. Okay. That's a good point. And it's going to, yeah, it's going to cause inflation. We'll devalue currency and you have some businesses that are desperate for it and it won't be enough because it's not just about payroll. It's like if you've got to buy product, you've got to move product. Oh, that's great. I can pay the staff, but how do I buy the thing to make them actually, you know, let's say you have a company that makes birdhouses.

It's like, congratulations, you can pay the guy to make the birdhouse, but you can't pay for the wood. Then you've got companies where it's like, I don't know, some dude on YouTube who complains about his feelings. And it's like, I just keep doing my thing. And it's the same eligibility. So it's not perfect. But, you know, it's curious.

I guess the general idea is they want to give people money, but they don't want to break the economy so it's like you're not working but we're giving you money but through your job so it's like yeah one of the other big things apparently was that they're going to give everyone guaranteed unemployment if they lost their job plus 600 thus incentivizing people to quit their jobs or leave their jobs right because you'll make more money that way right yeah there, there was a concern that people would ask their bosses to lay them off so they could make more money. But the rent thing

is interesting because I think we've got a mix of the photo they used is great. Let's get into Super Chats so we can actually do this. Do what? Do the subject. Yeah, we were going we were gonna do super chats i thought so well we'll jump into super chats yeah let's do that over what up everybody the

2a vegan pressed f thanks for the super chat heyo justin o'toole says have you heard about players in borderlands 3 being able to help scientists with research into microbes via a minigame i think it's awesome. Thoughts? What? I didn't know anything about that. It seems awfully specific. Yeah, but all right. Yeah.

Very cool. Interesting. Mark Taylor says, Mr. President, the resident perpetual intellectual and political semen demon that gets me screaming. Wow. Yu Yu says, Soy Jesus hearted my Twitter post thanking y'all.

Well, there you go. Is that true? You did. I must have. All right. Brother says, Adam looks likeed my Twitter post, thanking y'all. Well, there you go. Is that true? You did. I must have. All right. Brother says, Adam looks like a BG. Yes. Okay.

Do you know the BGs? Yeah. Yeah, staying alive. Kyle Buchanan says, hey, Tim, can you post a pic of your PC? Lydia, you are beautiful. Adam and Tim, I have never played Magic. Can you explain it to me? It is a trading card game where you have a stack of cards,

you draw them, and each of them has a special thing on it, and you do that. And then, that's the game. And you try to kill the other person. Yes, but only in fantasy. Yeah, and it doesn't ever cause arguments among friends. Oh, man. Never. That was a lie.

I once watched two kids playing the Pokemon card game. And one kid picked up his Razor scooter and just smashed the other kid in the arm. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah, man. People get into their games, yo. So they were playing Pokemon card games a long time ago.

It was when I was a teenager. And the one kid got mad. He's like, you can't do that. And the other kid's like, yes, I can. And the other kid's like, no, you can't. They started yelling. And then the kid just picked up his Razor was like i whacked him with it see a lot of these things when i see people smashing their controllers or flipping the table it says a lot

more about the person than the game they're playing oh of course it's not really none any game is susceptible to getting the controller thrown, it's all about the person holding it. Oh, yeah. Yeah Matthew says MLB is considering opening opening season in Arizona. Cool. And I heard MMA bought a private island Yeah, they did buy it. I thought they were I knew they were looking for a private island to host a fight every every weekend Yeah should be interesting Jack H.

Mark Taylor says, Tim, I don't like videos because liked videos go into a playlist that I save for my favorite videos on YouTube. Well, then, there you go. Don't like it. Appreciate it anyway. Alex says, Joe Biden's new campaign slogan, vote for Joe and put the Dem back in dementia. Ooh.

Spicy. Zing. new campaign slogan vote for joe and put the dem back in dementia spicy zing the price is right review says being respectfully honest women like melissa melana alissa milano is i mean amber heard and blasey ford are why migtao exists the saddest thing is thousands of women being influenced by these women thus men do not trust most women as a result and that's always a mistake to blanket over every person because you saw one bad person or even a handful of bad people. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't I get it, though. I mean, you got to solve. Yes. Yeah. We got to break that cycle. Diego says Trump 2016. If you vote for me, I'll make America great again. Trump 2020. If you vote for me, I'll pardon Joe Exotic. Yeah, he did joke about it. It's not it's you know, people, of course, are trying to pretend

like he's actually going to pardon the guy. Yeah. Nah. Featherfall says, if you had absolute power to change or add one law, what would it be? Mine would be to make lobbying punishable by life in prison. If you could make one law. I like that a lot. Not punishable by prison, just make it illegal. Term limits.

The lobbying thing would be the big difference. If they weren't getting paid crazy amounts of money to influence their decision, then the term limit thing I feel wouldn't be as big of a deal. I wouldn't change anything. You wouldn't change a thing? I would change nothing. I think lobbying doesn't make sense. You would enact the law and then realize where the pitfall was after the fact and be like, shouldn't have done that. Well, I'm also not a politician, so I't uh know the intricacies of what would happen i'm not gonna i'm not gonna mess with the machine if i don't know what's gonna do and where it's gonna end up i thought you were gonna get rid of hipster music for us what that was a promise yeah the lumineers

that music that goes hey that was gonna no one was whatever we allowed to say hey in music again yeah no no no more songs where they go, hey. Yes. You know? Is it just the Lumineers? Yeah, well, no. No, no. In all honesty, though, if I had the power to enforce any one law, it would be the permanent and complete banning of anise, cilantro, fennel,

and caraway seeds, punishable by death, of course. Yes. On the spot. Oh, yeah. No questions. Just lace them with anthrax? Oh, we would do tons of stuff. Yes. On the spot. Oh, yeah. No questions. Just lace them with anthrax? Oh, we would do tons of stuff. Oh, yeah, man.

So you know that the U.S. government, I think this is an urban legend. I'm not sure if it's true. They spiked alcohol during Prohibition. Really? Yeah, because they were like, we've spiked this. I think they spiked it with menthol or something,

like wood alcohol. Okay. And people were drinking anyway and dying. Yeah, it could be an urban legend. I don't know if it's true. Is it true? Well, Slate says it happened. A little told story of how the U.S. government poisoned alcohol during Prohibition.

What about you? What law would you put in? Me? I do like the term limits thing, and I like the lobbying thing. I think that they're really tied together. Yeah, makes sense. Any law, though? Just like you do, any law? That's what I would do. Yeah, makes sense. Any law though? Just like you do any law?

That's what I would do. I would stop lobbying. That's the number one thing I feel is a problem with our government at the moment. You know what most people probably say? What? Like I get a million dollars. Is that a law?

Yeah. There's a law that I'm going to amend. It is illegal to not give me a dollar if you see me. Boom. Now give me a dollar. And now next time when I see you tomorrow, you better give me a dollar. Somebody would when i see you tomorrow you better give me a dollar so that's somebody would do something stupid i guess yeah all right where are we at

king lenny says what do you guys and gal think of these corporations offering to help people by elevating some of the cost put on them alleviating um i don't know about what's going on in that regard yeah i don't know what's that going on in that regard. Yeah, I don't know. What's that in reference to? There was a company that makes insulin that was cutting the cost of insulin for people with diabetes. I thought that was really nice. It's going to deflate the economy. It's probably still like four times the price of every other country. What's the result of this? If prices are dropping artificially, people are losing their jobs, but the super wealthy corporations still have tons of money,

won't this just consolidate power in the hands of major corporations and wealthy billionaires? Yep. I don't know. Well, there you go. I see it. Scary. Blacktron says, hi, Tim. I saw an article on Breitbart about Wuhan COVID patients being burned alive.

Can you look into this and see if it's true? This story comes from Radio Free Asia, where they said unconfirmed rumors from locals. They say that they heard screams coming from the incinerators, from the crematoriums. Yeah. That's not confirmation of anything. And the reason I don't believe it is because if the Chinese government was going to burn people alive, first of all, they're harvesting organs. So there's the waste. I'd imagine that they wouldn't immediately but but maybe that's proof they kind of would but also wouldn't you just like knock them out to stop them from screaming

and how would you hear them through the walls i i guess i don't know there's too many very i don't know maybe maybe they're in the incinerator where the the vent you know goes to the roof and they're screaming and people can hear it kind of like a trumpet or something. I don't know. It's a good point. Radio Free Asia reported it. They said it's unconfirmed rumors. So that's as far as you get with it. Who knows? Yeah. Grizzly. Rick Sanchez.

Thanks for the super chat. He says, repeal the NFA. James Merriweather says, been gaming and watching your show during the quarantine. I am temporarily out of work. Was a bartender due to CV. But I was able to get unemployment. Yeah. Awesome.

Glad to hear. Info Minimal says, it isn't jail. It's sloth life like Orange Cassidy. Well, I don't know what that is. Neither do I. Michael Warr says, buy some more cat litter. Oh, okay.

All right. We will. I'll detect. Hmm, says, can mechanics have a shout out? We are still keeping people safe on the road along with disinfecting vehicles all day. I'm sure we'll get coronavirus.

Definite shout out to the mechanics. Cool. Hey, man. Yeah. We'll rag on celebrities all day and then praise people who do real work. Yeah. Like mechanics, electricians, plumbers, even landscaping. Sewage workers.

Like we have a guy who came by because we had to deal with some diseased trees. Substantially more important than celebrities. Yeah. Like what happens. Trees that are diseased can fall over and kill celebrities yeah like what happens trees trees that are diseased can fall over yeah exactly so and so it's true like it's a that's an essential service you know it's not ellen complaining in their mansion show yeah definitely not this show no not essential no but that's why we're in our basement let's not say it too loud

we are very important. Without us, people would lose their minds. It's true. People are saying, you know, they like listening to us. Nah, man. It reminds me of how these journalists are so snooty. Like, I told this story recently, I think, where I was at that conference. Okay.

And somebody asked these, like, the journalism panel, name three things you can do that a citizen journalist can't and they were like oh haram i say oh well i never we're professionals oh yeah that was their response that's not an answer but it was i i'm obviously exaggerated but their response was like well we're we're professionals i mean we have we have standards and and you know that that we are are honest and and people are like uh-huh uh-huh i stopped listening right you know that's that's why i would never play a game and try and pretend to be essential but you know there's gonna be a bunch of celebrities where they're like celebrities are

very important we give people hope you know all these poor people they get to look at us how wealthy and beautiful we are and that makes them feel better about themselves because they can live vicariously through me yeah there's some celebs that definitely feel that way. And they have already been rudely awakened. I don't know if they have been. Some of them have, or at least the celebrities might not have, but the entire rest of the world who used to idolize them have been awakened. They're like, oh, yeah, that's not so special anymore.

Me, on the other hand, I'm a dude in his basement complaining about his feelings on the Internet. So I'm not going to pretend to be important. But hey, thanks for watching, everybody. Apparently it's important enough. Appreciate you. Socialism says, did you see the leader of the who say to Trump, unless you want more body bags, don't politicize the virus? This was after Trump said we are not going to support them. I did.

And you know what? They pumped out fake info. So at this point, what do you do? Do you give them more money? They did a bad job. Yeah, no, you get a pay cut. Yeah. Sorry.

Well, we'll see how things play out. I don't know. I hope. Space Dan, thanks for coming to member. Thank you. Talbot says plenty of time at home for most for homework. Shame I make industrial protective and PPE gear plenty of work for me. I like homework, sad.

Well, at least you're doing something very important. Thank you for doing it. Judge Tater says, hey, Adam. You might like the YouTube channel JacksBlade. He's a personal trainer and anime nerd who makes fitness videos based on anime characters. Oh, that's really cool. Yeah, that sounds cool. Yeah.

Right on. Merrick says, Tim and Adam are currently the most trusted news sources on the planet. Hire more reporters. Yes. Nice. Think about what that means. Even if one person thinks that's true, like three people in a basement reading stories online

and complaining about stuff is more trustworthy than CNN. Yeah. That says bad stuff about CNN or really good stuff about us. Good stuff about us. Let's go with that. Yeah, let's go with the latter. Let's go positive. Stick with it.

Yes. I like it. CNN is trash anyway. Well, thank you for that. Let's go with that. Let's go with the latter. Let's go positive. And stick with it. Yes. I like it. CNN is trash anyway. Well, thank you for that. I appreciate it. J. Willie says, United Nations calling for 10% tax on global gross domestic product to combat the virus. Oh, yeah.

Oh, sure. That's gonna happen. Jonathan says, I play Abzan Reanimator combo with Caridor as my commander. What are your thoughts on the 2020 commander releases? Well, first off, I have two comments on this. Caridor Reanimator is the deck that I built against you. I called it the anti-Tim deck,

and it was basically just to counteract every shenanigans he pulls when playing Magic. I don't have that deck anymore, but I might actually bring it back. And I have pre-ordered all of them, the new Commander decks, because they look amazing and fun. And I'm going to make the Hydra Nightmare guy.

For those who know what it is. James says, Hey peeps, stay at home if you can wear a... if you can and wear a mask, banana, etc. If you need to go out, my mask protects you, your mask protects me. Masks for all. There you go. If you can find them. Balt my mask protects you. Your mask protects me. Masks for all. There you go. Yes. If you can find them. Baltazar says CO2 isn't a pollutant. Plants eat CO2 and sacrifice 100 molecules of H2O to acquire it. Historical records of CO2 were in the thousands,

not hundreds. We need more CO2, not less. Source William Happer. Not familiar with who that is, but very interesting, though. Ryan Walker says the left and their kinder, gentler politics have been frankly abhorrent regarding Boris Johnson's health. On Twitter, there are large groups of Corbynites wishing death upon him, disgusting animals. It's always important to point out, though, that the fringe limtics on Twitter are a very tiny fraction of the real world. That's a good point. There was a labor mayor who lost her job. She will not be reelected because of what she said about Boris Johnson.

What did she say? She's like, good, I'm glad he got sick i think she she went short of saying she he hoped she hoped he died but i was like that is awful these people are crazy you wish that upon anyone i don't know i don't get it i wouldn't wish it on anyone arrogant narcissists who think they're smarter and better than you yeah they're not they're just really dumb people they're just it you know it's really frustrating how stupid many of these people are and they think they're so smart it's it's man and they gotta they gotta shout to the world and actually you know it kind of goes in they're not tough it's fake toughness we're gonna go into that oh yeah yeah it's kind of interesting right

seeing the the story about trump owning a stake in this company that makes the hydroxychloroquine yeah and all these people are in the you look in the comments and they're just talking about how smart they are. It's like, man, if only you could literally smack sense into somebody, you can't. They're just stupid people and they think they're smart. That's what's so scary. Yeah. Granted, there are people who exist on this in all, you know, every, every spec, you know,

every side of the political spectrum. Isn't that Dunning-Kruger where you think you're a lot smarter than you are? Yeah. You can't, it's like you're so dumb, you can't realize how dumb you are. Scary. Yeah. Yep.

Yep. Harold says, Trump could go bankrupt because of decisions he's making in the best interest of the country. He can't get bailouts. Where's the credit for this? Yeah, somebody pointed out something funny.

They were like, the amount of money Trump stands to make if the economy recovers is in the millions. The amount he stands to make if he sells some of this generic drug through a company he owns a minority stake in is like four figures. Like a thousand bucks. Yeah. So dumb. John McGarry says the answer

to the adpocalypse is simple. Content creators band together and tell their viewers not to watch commercial TV on YouTube. It just would never work. It's not going to happen. A handy redneck says, if that prison video were real, ask yourself, how did the inmates get a smartphone and post the video? The phone is contraband and not allowed.

Yet tons of people in prisons and jails have cell phones. They smuggle them in all the time. There was a story recently where a guy had a cell phone because they forgot to take it from him. And so he asked them to charge it and then they charged him with a smuggling contraband yeah and it was like a big controversy he's like you didn't take it from me what but yeah this

could literally be someone who smuggled in a phone and and filmed i mean phones are ubiquitous i mean for all you know that they paid a guard to do it or something there's a bunch of different ways someone could sneak in a phone for him haven't you ever seen shawshank redemption come on yeah so what you're saying is the is the guy chipped away a hole in the wall, climbed out through the sewage line, made it out,

made it back in with a phone and filmed it. Yeah, probably. Yep. It's true, though. I think we've got to be skeptical

of these videos. No, you're absolutely right. Jazz Meyer says, wah, don't break the law. The Game Freak says, hey, Tim, Adam, and Lydia, I'm here in Florida preparing for

an eventual lockdown. I watch your vids every day alongside local news. Hope things are going all right for you guys. Keep up the good work. Appreciate it. The Unremind says, I'm McFreakin' losin' it. Loosing it. Loosing it.

Oh, sorry. Oh, man. Annoyed Moderate says, you should looking into Patrick Henry if you haven't truly an awesome American. I encourage everyone to research the founders and the beginnings of this country. Yeah, he's the guy who said, give me liberty or give me death. The second Virginia Convention. Alex Aiello says, in MI, some celebs are

buying meals for healthcare. Oh, good. That's cool. That's nice. That is nice. Abated says, this question is for Chad Jesus. When you were still a model, did women constantly approach you for spiritual strength or ask you to relieve their sins? It was one of them. Wait, is this serious?

Is this serious? That's a joke. That's funny. Nev says, where is the Cove 19 2020 version of We Are the World? LOL, stay everyone. Shout out to my essential workers. Katoth says,

Tim Pool is so cool. I heard that. That's great. thanks for the super chat renison thanks for joining austin laverty oh we just got the big jump wonderful thank you youtube for for helping me not know where these super chats are getting close are we nope there we go yep austin laverty says might use this time to to study for ham radio tech and general test. You can use HF bands talk around the world to real people instead of internet people if this hits again and can do both tests at the same time. Cool.

Eggman says, speaking of celebrities, are you guys ready for that inevitable movie based on coronavirus? Probably starring Tom Hanks playing the role of Tom Hanks. It's already happening. Is it really? There's a, What did they make? I think the makers of The Office are writing a new sitcom. Called Quarantine.

I don't know what it's called. It's supposed to be a comedy though. But I'm sure there's going to be a movie about this. I wouldn't be surprised. Many movies. Many, many. Azazel says, I look up to Jon Stewart even though we probably disagree politically yep he's a he's a cool dude yeah paul says bernie voted in support of illegal

bombing of yugoslavia which targeted and destroyed beautiful orthodox churches infrastructure and civilians he was never the anti-war candidate yes i i yeah i think he voted in favor of the first aumf as well after 9-11 not the the second one, though. Student of History says if they wanted to send a message and be relatable, these celebrities would be better off saying stay home and stay safe and promptly streaming COD. Yes, they would. Zachary says what negative repercussions would there be to legally mandate the MSM to air their retractions first thing at their next primetime online and on TV. I don't think the U.S. can pass a law controlling the freedom of the press or infringing upon in any capacity.

Exactly. That's it. Yeah. I wish that were a requirement, though. It seems like a good thing. There's civil things to it. Right. So the Covington kids should have mandated that they issue an on-air apology.

Maybe they did. I don't know. Yeah, who knows? I don't know. Casper, thanks for the super chat. Ethan says, Tim, soy Jesus ghost girl. Thoughts on Joeair apology. Maybe they did. I don't know. Yeah, who knows? Casper, thanks for the super chat. Ethan says, Tim, soy Jesus ghost girl. Thoughts on Joe exotic. Innocent, guilty. Should orange man pardon? I don't

know. I watched 20 minutes and I was like, what is this? I was like holding my eyeballs open. I'm like, I must watch this. Everyone seems to really want us to talk about it. And then I'm like, man, this show is really bad. And I like look around. I'm like, right, guys, right? Everyone's right. And I'm like in the room by myself And then I'm like, man, the show's really bad. And I like look around. I'm like, right guys, right. Right. And I'm like in the room by myself.

And I like, Oh, we used to live. I used to live right by that guy. No, no, no. That was,

um, that was his competitor. The, the woman. Oh, okay. That hurt. Yeah.

Carol Baskin's, uh, place was, we lived right by her, right near ours. Remember, remember the monkey jungle thing? Yeah.

We never went to it though. I don't know. There's, there, we were in Florida. It the monkey jungle thing? Yeah. What was that? We never went to it, though. I don't know. We were in Florida. It was probably her neighbor. Yeah, something like that. Monkey jungle. Exotic animals. Yeah, yeah.

Jeremiah says, where do I get that globe and saucer? The saucer I got from Instagram. I found it on eBay just recently. I really want to spin it for the chat. Everyone's like, spin, UFO. They're trying to will it. And I'm watching it. It could fall very easily.

I know. I know it can. It's super. Why did it stop And I'm like, I'm watching it. And I'm like, hmm. It could fall very easily. I know. I know it can. It's super. Why did it stop? It's really delicate. Why did it stop? I don't know. I'm on a just like.

Wait. Careful. Oh, no. There we go. Soft spin. Gently. There we are. Yay.

We fixed it. Well, it usually spins and then goes in the direction. Tim didn't just do that. That wasn't Tim. That was you guys. Yay. We fixed it. Well, it usually spins and then goes the other direction. Tim didn't just do that. That wasn't Tim. That was you guys. Yes. All of you just made that UFO spin. Through the power of the internet. Mm-hmm.

All right. Jesus Perez says, I once saw this guy turn himself into a pickle. I swear it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. I saw that, too. I, too, have seen that. Corey Davis says, Tim, let's... No, I'm not reading that. Nope, nope, nope.

Michael Connor says, gone to an argument with a friend as she was saying Trump has dementia, just like Biden, if not worse, and that she will always vote blue no matter who. Yeah. Oh, man. So many of these. Somebody made a website called Bernie. Or else. Yeah, Bernie or else.

Yeah. Really? Yeah. Not Bernie or bust. Or else. Geez. What are they going to do? Yeah, it's a threat.

Yeah, it is. But what are they going to yeah it's a threat yeah it is but what are they gonna do though go smash up windows and start fires great milwaukee on fire get arrested well no one's going to milwaukee now all right casper says abo comics is publishing an anthology of art by queer prisoners about the pandemic behind bars all proceeds go to emergency support i mean that's cool if somebody makes a product people are into it you know when i typically complain about like my big problem with how they do woke movies and comics and games is that they usually retcon existing stuff right they'll take an existing ip and it's like iron man but now it's a young black woman right it's like why don't you make a new character with a new power and everything and yeah make her special exactly yeah i don't you just make a new character with a new power and everything? Yeah. Make her special. Exactly. Yeah, I don't get it.

Because Static Shock is like one of the coolest superheroes ever. You know, Static Shock? No, I don't. It started as, I think it was a Dark Horse comic. I'm not sure. I don't know. But it's an original character. And the show I remember watching when I was growing up, it went through a bunch of social

justice and educational storylines. Like his friend ends up being gay. He's involved in in like you know Oh you showed me about this. Or you told me about this before. Yeah it was cool. That's how social justice was done right. Like creating a cool character who was inspiring and heroic with cool powers

in the situations that would help you understand something. Today it's just like bashing you over the head making just bad content. Not funny jokes. Rewriting stuff that's already around. Beating it to death.

Exactly. Sick of it too. It's like they can't make new things. But I will gladly play Final Fantasy VII Remake tomorrow night. Well, that's different. That's like the same game but better. I'm so excited. Anyway, please continue.

Aaron says, hey guys the ufo isn't spinning it's really distracting now it's spinning why did it stop spinning it's speeding up that was weird no the power of of the comments minds yeah that's what it is grave says you hear about the bernie donation refunds i didn't is he gonna give refunds i don't know liberty lovin says move to ashville also her name was brianna taylor not sure who that is neither do i and well you know the comment super chats will come in on a delay right like people will comment and then we go back to it half an hour later so and tarot says get rid of daylight savings please daddy tim i agree it's it's so so dumb it's like

if you want more daylight wake up an hour earlier stupid is that? I'll just turn the clock so everyone, you know what? Swampy says, term limits removes power from the people and makes them feel less on the hook if there's bad officials. If we elect good people, we lose them. Yeah. Yeah. That's why term limits. We have so many bad politicians who are like, term limits, without realizing that term limits

doesn't guarantee you get a good politician. Yeah, exactly. It just guarantees you get a different one. Maybe gerrymandering would be a thing that I would like to get rid of. People don't understand gerrymandering either. It's not like someone goes in and goes, We're going to, you know, it's arguments and debates between groups as to what makes up for constituency.

Okay. You'll often hear, you know, I'm not going to pretend to know enough about gerrymandering to defend it, but I can at least draw some skepticism on the activists who are acting like it's this grand evil when it exists for a reason. We have redistricting for a reason,

and then you actually have different groups like deciding where the lines will be drawn. And so it only functions because both the Democrats and the Republicans are benefiting themselves. Yeah, all right. I don't know. There's a lot to it.

I'll stay with making lobbying illegal. Yep. Let's see. Furby says, since you don't understand that you walking up to and asking your own rep to look into something is lobbying, maybe you could brush up on the subject. Oh, there you go. I got nothing. If you went to the local congressman's office and started explaining why he needed to do something that'd be lobbying well okay but are you paying hundreds of thousands

of dollars to that person you're not legally allowed to nobody does well how do they pay this is the weirdest what's what's the case then because this you know that's what i it's it's it's assumed is what what it was there's no way to get rid of all the loopholes. Right. What are they like? Lobbyists spend millions of dollars to sway them. But if they're not paying them directly, what exactly are they doing? Backroom deals. I will give you I'll give your fund a hundred million dollars. And it's like, sure, their fund isn't necessarily them, but they own it.

And then they get a cut from that anyway. Or it's a favor. Right. It's like, I don't know. Yeah, it's not always as simple as everyone thinks it is. It get a cut from that anyway. Or it's a favor. Right. It's like, I don't know. It's not always as simple as everyone thinks it is. That's a good point. And again, I'm not a politician. Julia says, Tim, how dare you come for the Lumineers? You have lost

my vote for Supreme Overlord. That was me, not Tim. No, no, no, no, no, no. No. I did not say there will be no more Lumineers. Right. They will not be allowed to say hey. Yeah, that's all. All songs will have the haze removed. Surgically removed.

Oh, even older songs will have, so then we'll have like bootleg tapes underground. It's just, it was just. Oh, I got the original. Oh, you want that original song here? Oh, I got that. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I got that OG song. How many haze are in it?

Don't worry about it, Tim. Nothing. Over here, I got this. I got this. And then he walks up and he puts a headphone jack into it and he puts one ear up to it and he goes, you cut this. There's only three haze. This would be six. The original

has six. Dealing in haze. Max Lang says, would you ever go on the Jesse Lee Peterson show? I'm vaguely familiar with him, but for the most part I'm going on no shows at all anymore because I work like all day from 7am.m. to 10 p.m. Yeah, man.

Nano says, what about lobbying for orphan adoption? That's right. Would you ban lobbying for orphan adoption? Yes. Well, I don't know. I mean, are people actually doing that? Are they going and lobbying the government for orphan adoption? Yeah, probably. It's like, yeah, probably. I want to take money out of it that would be the key it's funny i'm like

i'm not a politician let me keep saying it i'm not a politician the big issue i don't know enough about this kind of stuff you asked me what law i would make and i would dig into that if i was a politician but the issue is that everyone else is evil right yeah so when the nra lobbies you get all these activists people like david hogg being like we're coming for you nra and the nra is like we need the right to defend ourselves and so they see this angry kid who wants to shut down their civil liberties and civil rights yeah it's everyone else who's evil you know what i mean granted i think these activists who are trying to like go after the NRA are just doing it to virtue signal to make money, and none of them have any idea what they're actually talking about, which is a serious problem in politics.

It's true. Carl says, your thoughts on conspiracy theory. The conspiracy theory that China created the virus and cure released them on their own public, knowing it would spread worldwide, but cover the fact that it was intentional, and that way it would tank the markets to buy up companies. I know China's had stuff like this happen before. They're inept. They're incompetent.

And, you know, don't want the world to know. I think it's very point out governments are incompetent in many different ways. So it's just in all likelihood we can speculate all day. But I don't like speculating without evidence. You know, if you if if I look at the polls and the polls are like Donald Trump goes up nonstop and the economy is doing well, I'll be like, I'm going to speculate he's going to win. Yeah. If we have no evidence whatsoever on what's going on with this virus, there's literally no reason for me to be like 5G or it was planned. The 5G thing is the weirdest thing to me. It is weird, yeah. Because the virus has hit 180 countries or whatever, and there's four or five countries that have implemented 5G technology. Yeah, it makes no sense.

I don't know. Now they're going to start saying it's the Starlink satellites from Elon Musk. There's always some weird stuff happening. There's always something. Yeah, man. All right, but I think we're going to have to start speeding things up because we are getting inundated with these Super Chats. Apologies if we miss you.

But thank you. Appreciate you guys. Mark G says, I was fine with Tim Pool until he went after Big Anis. Let us plebs enjoy our licorice flavoring in artisan fashion. Never! No. We will hunt you down. We will take the licorice from your cold, dead hands.

There's going to be people shoveling licorice into inciner dead hands terrible we're gonna there's gonna be like people shoveling licorice into like incinerators yeah and just like a woman falls screaming let's see where all right uh warren thanks for becoming a member thank you s head says you're definitely providing an essential service i don't know a single mainstream network covering the news without an obvious agenda at hand also keeps me sane while i'm truck driving for walmart appreciate it cool logan thanks for becoming a member thank you and i i think that is a good point because my thing is always like i really don't care if trump gets re-elected you know i i what am i gonna do yeah

it's be an adult i don't know anybody you're not gonna run through the streets screaming no at the top drop to my knees and go i can't believe anybody saw that video that's insane it's funny why would anyone what's wrong with people to where they act like this is something that matters yeah there's something that i i deal with my issues that are happening i i go how do i move forward i i don't tend to wallow and i don't like that i like going you know what this is my problem how do i work through it and get past it and forward into like a new space? Because obviously I don't like where I'm at right now or like what happened. And that's what people need to do.

They need to look forward and go, how do I, if I truly don't like this person, how do we move forward and like fix what they think is wrong? And they don't want to do that. They just want to complain about what is the now. Have you ever tried their method for problem solving? Screaming at the top of my lungs? So let's say you're trying to get that back disaster revert. I was thinking, all right, maybe if I'm skating. Well, no, no, no.

When you don't get the trick, have you tried instead of trying to do the trick, just going on your knees and screaming as loud as you can? Maybe that will actually help you get the trick, right? I mean, no, I'm good yeah i like my i like my my work better it works for me i think young people need to learn some kind of sport activity and music some kind of strategy there should be various things you can do with kids yeah but one of the most important things is physical activity because you know there's cheating in in some sports there's ways to cheat yeah but for the most part if you're playing baseball and you don't hit the ball you

can't pretend you did yeah that's a good point to actually hit it you gotta hit it yep and so if the only way to improve is to actually figure it out but we got so many kids who grew up never having to do that so they just drop to their knees and scream as loud as they can yeah but also like what do you think's gonna happen happen? This worked when I was a child! It did. I know, that's what I'm saying. Do they think Donald Trump is going to pop out of the sewer and go, and then throw a rock at him or something?

You're never going to see the guy. He's never going to impact you. That's a funny image, though. It's funny because activists are posting on Reddit stuff. They're like, Joe Biden and Trump have both been credibly accused of assaulting women. Who do I vote for? And there's an argument. No one knows. They're like, don't vote Trump have both been, you know, credibly accused of assaulting women. Who do I vote for? And there's like an argument like no one knows. They're like, don't vote.

No vote for Biden. Are you nuts, Biden? He's a, you know, assaulter and abuser. Yeah, but we can't let Trump win. It's like, what are you kidding? They're just going up in flames. Yeah. I'm just looking forward to that first debate.

Oh, man. Yeah. And I'm going to make some popcorn. Isaac says, Tim, did you see Betty Crowder destroying the Pyramid of Toilet Paper? Source louder with Crowder. No. I didn't. Betty's the puppy.

Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, no. That's cute. That is adorable. I have to watch. Let's see. Rimzer says, what are your thoughts on Greg Reese, Owen Schroyer, and the rest of the

gang from InfoWars? They present many interesting theories. Just wanted to get your opinion. By the way, love your work. I don't know a lot about him. I haven't seen a whole lot of the stuff. I've seen a little bit of Owen Schroyer, but I don't know enough to comment. I know he is.

And I know that he got sexually assaulted in D.C. It was the Women's March, right? Yeah, I remember. Yeah, a woman grabbed his junk. And then she got arrested for it. Yeah, she got in big trouble. And then she got charged, like convicted? She did, yeah.

Yup. They thought it was funny. That happened to me. Yup. And then he called the cops. They were like, no, who cares? I can do what I want. And the cops arrested her and it's like, you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. Warm susu, thanks for coming to member. Thank you.

And then we get the big super chat jump. Man, we are getting absolutely inundated with all these super chats. Thank you, guys. Yes, what she said. You're the best. Psyknosis says, hey Tim, I am from Denmark. We shut down very early while our neighbors in Sweden just shut down now. You should keep an eye on

these two countries since they could be test cases for the different strategies. Yes, Sweden in two weeks is going to be bad. Yeah, I was watching a video yesterday about I don't know if it's the Surgeon General or whoever. It's basically the person in charge, and he was like, they're trying to do herd immunity, and it was like, look, there's nothing showing that quarantining everyone works,

and this is new, so we're going to do herd immunity, and if they just shut down, that's new. I didn't know that they actually did shut everything down. UK tried it initially as well, and then immediately backtracked. Like, it's not working. Stop. Maybe this is not a good idea. Yep. All right.

Let's see. JB says, hi, Tim. Soy Jesus and Lydia of Whiterun. Have you seen Fate Zero anime? The arguments of celebs being aspirational is the same argument that Iskender uses against Arturia on the meaning to be king. I do not. I am not familiar. No, I'm not. But, yeah, I appreciate, you know, the anime.

Phil Yu says, if one law could be changed, it should be that all members of the House and Senate are only paid the national median wage. If they want a raise, they need to help everyone across the board. I like that. I've heard that before. I do like that. That's a good saying. The problem is, they'll just find

ways to enrich themselves. They will be like, yes, we will. And then they're like, in two years, I am out of here. And I'm going to get a job as an inspector for this big company and make a million bucks. Well, then good. They shouldn't be in government then. Yeah. Yeah, but they're good.

Wouldn't that be the thing? That means while they're there, this big company is going to be like, we want you to pass this law. That makes it so we can eat babies. And then they're going to be like, you got it. And then then they're gonna get a job once they leave yeah you know sandwich says the ufo ran out of juice juice it up for us done and done ebrock says why is the ufo not spinning it has been solved daniel sotelo says top three bands musical influences muse muse. Muse is good. And I don't know what else. I got to go with Led Zeppelin.

That was my first concert ever. It was in 1998. It was their reunion tour. It was awesome. John Bonham's son played the drums. Cool. Wow. So it was like basically the entire band.

It was awesome. And let's see. Sublime. Incubus was a huge. Yeah. Incubus. Huge influence of mine. I like Muse.

I like Metric. I like Muse a lot. I just saw them in Madison Square Garden a couple months back. Maybe a little more than that, but my goodness. And Tool and A Perfect Circle, both are really up there as well. Yeah, I don't know. I listen to a lot of music, but I don't have any favorites, aside from Muse, probably. Yeah. All right, let's see. Where any favorites because aside from Muse, probably. Yeah.

All right. Let's see where we at. Amber says daylight savings helps farmers and ranchers, the forgotten food producers. The civic nationalist says I live in a household who despises the president and the prime minister. They don't want to hear about them. The strong leader derangement syndrome is here. What's your opinion on civic nationalism? I'm not super familiar with all of the tenets of what civic nationalism is.

That's just like general nationalism, right? Like American nationalism. Yeah, I'm not super familiar with all of the tenets of what civic nationalism is. That's just like general nationalism, right? Like American nationalism. Yeah, I'm not sure. That's like been the default of the country for the entirety of its existence. I know, right? So I'm like, America! Yeah, right? I don't know. I love America. I don't know what the differentiator is between that and the other forms because there's like economic, like Steve Bannon talks about

economic nationalism. Okay. And then there's obviously racial nationalism, which is stupid. At least from an American standpoint, I don't see like, well, actually, no, I just think it's generally dumb. I've seen a lot of these countries being part Korean that are ridiculously supremacist. And it's like to their detriment. But they hold on to these animosities from hundreds of years of history. They don't pertain to today.

Young people don't care. Humans need to learn to let go of of their pride so well yes yeah but like i i always question when people are like pride is a bad thing because some pride is a good thing yeah that's a it's a balance i think i can't go full full ham on anything you know yeah you gotta find the balance all All right. Mark says, hi, three amigos. The Nuremberg trials resulted in a grand total of 10. Yes, only 10 hangings. I doubt anyone in Beijing or the who will face serious consequences for misleading the globe on COVID. Sad. I agree. Cracklin says, doesn't Biden look like one of Jeff Dunham's puppets?

Seriously, Google it or look it up with your. Look it up with your Byakugan. He does. Look it up with your Byakugan. Very few people understood that reference, but I got it. Pickle says, Adam, I sent you a tweet about the diversity shoot. Simon is in New Jersey and a firearms trainer who has helped a lot of people. I saw Simon liked the tweet. You did send that to me, and I am going to hit him up. Cool. I appreciate that. Dustin says, center-leaning right truck driver, dividing my time between work, being a

dad to my beautiful six-year-old boy, Devin, and finishing up RE3 remake. You give me with a healthy balance of different opinions. Hey, appreciate it. Student of History says, it's hilarious how quickly the velvet glove was removed to reveal the iron fist after Bernie bailed out no refunds. So as soon as Bernie dropped out, his press secretary was like, oh, you know what? Now I don't got to say Democratic Socialist anymore. The difference between socialist and Democratic Socialist is that the reason is exactly what they say. Democratic Socialists want you to vote for policies that will enact socialism. And the difference is that regular socialists want to take it by gunpoint. So as soon as Bernie's out, she's like, oh, I can finally drop

the democratic part of this. It's like, ah. I see. That was fast. Yeah. Yikes. Alright. Ciza says, I don't always agree with your opinions, but I follow you because I trust that you provide accurate information to the best of your ability. Thank you. P.S. Adam and Lydia are also pretty hecking cool. Thanks, man. You know it.

Thank you. Jay says, did you guys watch PewDiePie's Jubilee video on vegans it was pretty funny and i bet adam would get would get a kick out of it what you what youtubers do you guys watch if any none none i do not actually that's that's not true there's a few um game makers that i follow i am uh really big into gaming and i'm actually designing a few games myself and there are a a few, like Game Maker's Workshop and a couple others. I can't remember the name of what they're called right now, but it's been a while since I've watched them. But I do dig into that sometimes. Couples Therapy says, thank you for being level-headed and informative.

Your videos keep me informed and entertained while running my greenhouse selling veggie plants. Oh, nice. Cool. Nice. ISK says, on urban wildlife tangent, thoughts and possible prep for rats becoming more aggressive and desperate. My landlord been making rounds looking for possible entry points and setting up traps. Yeah, we were talking about it. We're going to have to negotiate. Find the leader. Is this the strategy? Diplomacy first.

Okay. Oh, man. No, we're going to reap what we have sown. Oh, dude. Yeah. That's not going to be good. Someone's asking if Soybra skates. Oh, yeah.

Of course. Do I skate? Totally. You can see, actually, some of my videos. Just type my name. There's my name right there. Type it in YouTube, and Arbor Skateboards is probably the best. I used to ride for Bustin Skateboards also, but that was earlier in my skate career, I guess.

I use that term lightly, but yeah, you can check out my stuff. Let us discuss the rentpocalypse. Yeah, the rentpocalypse. So we had talked for a bit about how people weren't going to pay rent. People didn't have money to pay rent. And when that happens, the next wave of economic destruction would be upon us because while a lot of these lefties don't understand that there's a lot of work that goes into maintaining property, these companies have staff, they have employees, they have groundskeepers, electricians,

maintenance, whatever. Now those people aren't going to get paid. But the story from the Wall Street Journal is that nearly a third of US apartment renters didn't pay April rent. Some tenants will be temporarily protected from eviction by a patchwork of federal and local laws. But my understanding is it only lasts for about three months. Yeah, yeah. And what do you think is going to happen? So there was this big story, BuzzFeed covered it, where a building sent out an email to everybody saying, hey, here's what you can do if you need benefits just so you know rent is still due right we won't evict you because of the law but you can be evicted later right and so the company forgot they accidentally cc'd

everybody on it i guess oh they weren't supposed to i mean maybe they didn't care yeah but now everyone had access to everyone else's email and so they organized a rent strike on the entire company. Oh, geez. And the reason that's messed up is like, well, if you do that, you slap your landlord in the face. Anything's going to happen in three months. Do you think they're going to be like, well, now that this is all over, keep paying your rent. We're all good. Or do you think they're going to be like, get out?

They're going to get out. They're going to tell them to get out it's not surprising i'd be willing to bet if if you had an email from your landlord and you emailed back saying i lost my job at the end of the month i hope you understand there's something i can do they'd be like we'll figure something out yeah i mean that's basically what the email said right if you need help well here's here's the way to to get some help but it said But you got to pay rent. You still got to pay rent. And we can't evict you now, but we can evict you later. And we will. It's not really a surprise. It's not surprising.

Check this out. So the Wall Street Journal writes nearly a third of U.S. apartment renters didn't pay any of their April rent during the first week of the month, according to new data to be released Wednesday by the National Multifamily Housing Council and a consortium of real estate data providers. The numbers are the first hard look at how many Americans are struggling to make rent during the coronavirus pandemic. The data comes in the first of weekly reports on unpaid rent from NMHC, a landlord trade group. But I got to stop real quick because why are we assuming it was all people unable to pay? Right. How many of them were like, ooh, now's my chance? Yeah, exactly.

How do we know? We just, we saw that story from BuzzFeed where they were like, we refuse to pay. I blame Cheesecake Factory. Cheesecake Factory. Yeah, because they blasted it out. Yeah. We are not going to pay come April 1st. And it's like, what?

Why are you even announcing that? They said they couldn't pay. Okay. And what's what's amc might go out of business yeah what are you gonna what are you gonna do with all those all that property all these all these malls it's gonna this is what i've been saying for a long time the housing market is gonna turn it that they're gonna use it if they're gonna to become homes. They have big, cute, like... Movie theaters? No, no. Well, and malls. You said malls. Yeah.

Movie theaters, maybe, but think about what a mall is. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's got all these, like, stores with, like, nice and lit up sunroofs throughout the whole middle. So it's, like, gardens in the middle, and then people are... It's going to be apartments. It doesn't make sense for... Everyone goes online to...

Yeah, malls are collapsing goes online to get everything. Yeah, exactly. Small-time businesses are just getting shut down, especially now. Half of them are going to go under because of this. It's interesting because I've actually been to a dying mall. This was during Ferguson. There was like two towns over to the west of Ferguson. It was a mall that had, I think, like 90 empty storefronts.

Wow. And it was partly because of the rioting in Ferguson. There was like two towns over to the west of Ferguson was a mall that had, I think, like 90 empty storefronts. Wow. And it was partly because of the rioting in Ferguson. Okay. So when the first rioting broke out, they locked the whole place down with police because they were worried about looting and stuff. And people naturally got freaked out and didn't want to show up. What ends up happening then is you have a lot of these stores that operate at a loss because these big companies – I don't know if there's any specific – specifically to name. But I'll give you a Starbucks example.

Starbucks will make a ton of money in one location of a city and they'll make – they'll be losing money in another location. But they want the marketing in the presence. Right. So the successful store subsidizes the weaker stores. Okay. As it happens in malls, you'll end up with, you know, lids or something. And Starbucks and GameStops. And they know that this one mall isn't that lucrative, but they want the brand recognition of the people who come and go.

Yep. So when one store leaves, then there's less incentive for people to go there even, and then for other businesses to even set up. Because the benefit of the mall is that there's foot traffic. Yeah. So if high-profile stores start leaving for any reason, they don't pay their rent. AMC, for instance. If AMC goes out of business, these movie theaters, even Cheesecake Factory.

Yeah. How many people have been like, oh, let's go to Cheesecake Factory. Where is it? At the mall. Hey, great. We'll go. We'll put our names in, wait 15, 20 minutes, walk around the mall and buy stuff. Now that Cheesecake Factory is gone, people are going to be like, let's go somewhere else. Now the mall is going to, this is the cascade that destroys the mall. And that's why it's not just about, you know, rent for people and where they live. Because this is a story specifically

talking about apartment rentals. Yeah, true. But businesses. Yeah, exactly know, rent for people and where they live. Because this is a story specifically talking about apartment rentals. Yeah, true. But businesses. Yeah, exactly. All rent. Yeah. It's impacting across the board for sure. But then you have these activists, which the Wall Street Journal actually shows.

I wonder if they're trying to make this, you know, what is this? They say, protesters in Los Angeles last week called for rent forgiveness due to the surge in coronavirus-related job losses. Why not cell phone forgiveness yeah rent forgiveness so like they don't have to actually pay for it like oh we get this month free is that what they're asking for what about um cable tv forgiveness what's the difference between you look i get it you need a place to live you can't be homeless yeah food and shelter but you're you're paying for some kind of service or product or something. You're paying to use the space.

Yeah. Why should we forgive this and nothing else? This is one of the biggest problems with a lot of these lefty activists, especially minimum wage increases. It's like, why $15? Why not $20? Why not $25? Why not $30? Yeah. And then you actually had, I think, Rashida Tlaib said, okay, then we'll do 20. And after they got, you know, they voted on 15. She then said 20. And then she kept it just keeps going up. It never ends. Right. Yeah. So I'm curious as to what the economic impact is going to be of, you know, all this. The Wall Street Journal says that only 69

percent of tenants paid any of their rent between April 1st and the 5th, compared with 81 in the first week of March and 82 in April 2019. The count includes renters who only made partial payments. Many renters who haven't yet paid may still pay later this month. Wow, that's actually really interesting. That's not that much of a difference. Right.

If only 82% paid their rent in April last year, there was no pandemic last year. So that's not that big of a drop. It's a 13% difference. It's not like, you know, going in, it's like, oh, 100% of people pay the rent, you know, eventually, maybe not like right on time, but they pay the rent. And that's clearly not true. Only 82% paid last year. Wow. That's an interesting number. The Wall Street Journal reports the federal government has agreed to let apartment building owners with government-backed mortgages defer their mortgage payments, and the Federal Reserve also said it would buy up bonds tied to certain multifamily loans. Those measures, however, only cover part of the total rental market and

don't address loans held by banks without a governmental guarantee. Less than one-third of U.S. rental units are federally financed and covered by protections in last month's stimulus package, according to an estimate from the Urban Institute, a Washington-based think tank. That's not a lot. No, you know what I think it really is, man? I think there's a decent amount of people who are like, now's my chance. I'm not going to pay rent. Yep.

And they're justifying it. And look, you have protests in Los Angeles, rent forgiveness. These people have no idea what they're talking about. They're basically just demanding something for free. Feels like it, yeah. I get it. We don't want people to be homeless, but you're able-bodied. These protesters look young. You can get a job, man. It's one of the biggest problems with the participation trophy era is that none of these people want to work at McDonald's. I worked at a fast food restaurant. It was my first job.

I didn't care. It was a job. Mine was Blockbuster. Blockbuster video. I worked at Blockbuster. And so what's the big deal? How much do they pay? Do they pay minimum wage? I don't even remember. It was years ago. I'm sure they didn't pay you. 18 or something. I'm sure they paid you the

bare minimum. Yeah, definitely. There are so many young people or younger people today that they're like, I'm not going to work at McDonald's. Okay. Then you'll be broke. But then what they do is they demand free rent or free product or government pay for things. You know, it's kind of strange to me because I was watching the history of like the burger, the fast food burger in America. Okay. And it was like, there was a period in this country where it wasn't demeaning to work low-skilled jobs it was like people were like i got a job what do you do i'm part of a you know food prep line it's like oh cool yeah and you just flip burgers and then something happened where we started getting snootier and snootier yeah that's

a good point i remember growing up and and you know people would say to me like you don't want to end up flipping burgers do you and i'm like it's like will i be happy right it's like yeah oh well then what's the big deal yep that's what my daddy's say he's like what do you want to be when you grow up and then i'd be like i don't know he's like wrong answer happy yeah that's all that matters i like that yep i remember i was uh i was riding with my dad when i was a little kid and i saw a homeless guy riding a bike okay presumably homeless like carrying herself around and i said i was like a little kid i said that's sad and he's like what's sad, I was like a little kid. I said, that's sad. And he's like, what's sad?

And I was like, oh, the homeless guy. And he goes, why is that sad? He could be the happiest guy in the world for all you know. And I was like, and the guy didn't look sad. It's a good perspective right there. Yeah. So, you know, the funny thing is about these people who feel like they're above everything, like they deserve free rent because, you know, housing is a human right or whatever. It's like,

why should the immigrants who come to this country, you know, they work fast food. Why should they have to do that and not get free rent, but you think you're deserving of the free rent? I mean, you encourage them to come here and stay there, and then what? They have to wash your dishes and then you get to live for free? How does that make sense?

It doesn't. No, it doesn't. No. The other thing, too, is like, what if you were really good at flipping burgers yeah right yeah so i'll tell you my uh i'll we will wrap up on this one final thought some business advice for everybody i may have said this on the show i don't know if i did but let me let me ask you guys a question did i did ever ask well i'll just ask you anyway adam if you get a call right now from mcdonald's and they said adam kriegler and you were like yeah that's me they'd be like we want you to work the cashier at our downtown philly location starting tomorrow 10 a.m what do you say how much boom how much you paying me exactly. Right? Because I love my job right now.

Right? I get to talk to these awesome people and you too. This is great. But you know what most people say? What? No. No. I can't be seeing it.

McDonald's? So people often ask me, like, how do you be successful and all that? And I ask them this question. If McDonald's called you right now and said, we want you to work the cashier, what would you say? They're like, no. I'm like, why would would you say no because i don't want to do that i'm like it's the wrong answer the right answer is how much they're like what if they paid you twenty thousand dollars for a day a day you'd be like all right maybe i could work that register right and so you could this is what people how people you know end up being bad at business true it's like you don't even know what they're going to offer you.

You don't even know how long it was going to be for. And they're like, well, I just assumed. Boom, there it is. You assumed. You got to know. You got to ask questions. You got to do the research. So here's what I tell people.

When I get hit for a job, they're like, would you be willing to do this? I say, I don't know. Give me $1,000. And when they're like, whoa, $1,000, that's too much money. I'll be like, okay. I didn't want to do it anyway. Yeah. You know, so it's like, whatever.

But at least now I know. Yeah. Or they might be like, okay, $1,000. And you're like, wow, really? $1,000. Maybe I should have asked for a little more. Yeah. So, right.

Exactly. I had a friend who got a job offer that was, it paid too little. And they were like, I'm going to say no. I don't think I'm going to take it. And I was like, why, why say no? I was like, would you do the job for 90,000 a year? And they were like, nah. And I was like, how about 120? And they went, well, 120. Yeah. I'm like, there you go. Send the email. Yeah. Say that's what you want. And then they're like, but they're not going to offer it to me. And I'm like, congratulations. Then you don't get a job you didn't want in the first place. And sure enough, they sent the email and the company emailed back.

That's too much. We appreciate it. Have a nice day. Yeah. There you go. Problem solved. You were going to say no. Yeah, exactly.

Why even bother? But imagine if they said yes. Yeah, right? Right. Anyway, to wrap this back up, I think we have a problem with weird urban elitism. And I wonder if these people saying rent forgiveness can we like put them on a farm like like i'd be like to to like uh going on a retreat not like what was going to farm as a reference to something wasn't it i don't know disciplinary camp yeah it was a reference to

something specific about sending people to a farm no i mean like quite literally like showing them how to how to grow food and how to do basic stuff yeah yeah not by force that wasn't i was just thinking like man the farmers are gonna be like get these people out of here dude for real you know what i mean you know it's funny though these people come on these people don't know how to work these i gotta work on a farm oh totally it's serious work but think about these activists how they're like all about immigrants and illegal immigrants yeah it's like you want to be you want you want to be really honest illegal immigrants work so much harder than these people. They really do.

It was funny. I can't remember who tweeted this. They were like, we will gladly exchange the socialists for the undocumented workers who work really hard. We're good. So, hey, it's your call. Yeah, because all those people know what it's like to have nothing. Right. They had no comfortable bubble ever.

They see Americans in their comfortable bubble and they go, I will do anything to have nothing. Right. They had no comfortable bubble ever. They see Americans in their comfortable bubble and they go, I will do anything to have that. And then they do. And then you have some overweight people demanding to get free rent. It's like, I know people who would like scrape scum off of the floor with a toothbrush for minimum wage in this country because it's so much like minimum wage in this country is a lot of money relative to a lot of other places. Very true. And there are people who are like, wow, I would get to do that and make all this money. It's amazing.

Yeah. Yeah. Do you think it's because of higher education? Because I'm wondering if the bar isn't being artificially set high. I think it's I think it's partly. Yeah. I think it's these people are being told by their parents that they're going to be the president.

Right. You know, well, the same parents who are telling them that they can do whatever they want are also telling them that they have to go to college. Yep. So I'm wondering if there's overlap. You can do anything, but go get in debt. Yeah. Get in debt first. Yeah.

This will work great. That's smart. Yeah. I think it's really funny when I see people I know who have ridiculous debt, like hundreds of thousands in debt. Yeah. And they're trying to advocate for why the government should forgive all of it. And I'm like, isn't it strange that the people who think it's the right thing to do are the ones who are saddled with debt?

And the people who don't have the debt think it's the wrong thing to do? It's almost like you dug yourself into a hole, made mistakes, and then were like, somebody else should pay for it. Debt forgiveness now. Holding up the sign. It's the same thing sign seriously yeah it's the same thing yeah it's exactly the same yeah rent forgiveness yep you know cities are going to collapse this can't continue the cost of rent goes up the value of labor it goes down and then

how do you maintain these buildings they like i mean look at san francisco the place is a nightmare it really is like poop everywhere they have a poop department they do it's incredible it's true literally it's like it's like firefighters had me cracking up when you told me that it's a real thing i know look at you laughing at the misfortune of this dystopian nightmare oh man think about what san fran is too it's like i mean this is this is in la these these rent forgiveness people you know what man if somebody builds something and they use their labor you know and they work really hard for it why do these people think they deserve it for free just you know what maybe they don't think they deserve it maybe they just they found an easy out yeah put on a mask put on gloves threaten people and get it for free i can't pay rent or i can i

just everyone else isn't doing it so i'm gonna i'm gonna just go full in and make signs and just you know be an activist against this just because i don't want to pay rent yeah you know why not why not go all the way why why why stop at like i shouldn't have to pay rent how about uh the government should give me personally a million bucks oh let's go let's go all the way i should be king of the planet everyone Everyone give me everything. It's interesting because if you're asking for free stuff because you think you deserve it. And look, I think there's an argument he made about fighting for certain rights, but arguing that you have a right to someone else's property, which is supported and maintained by their

labor and you shouldn't contribute to it is a really weird thing. But why stop there? Yeah, that's true. Why not? How about the difference? How about we own the building shooting off why why rent yeah yeah exactly aim higher aim for the moon man because if you miss you'll hit the stars or aim for the stars what is what is saying shoot for the shoot for the moon because if you miss you'll land among the stars there you go put that rent forgiveness sign down but that's like that's like actually

flinging yourself into the moon. Yeah. Sounds dangerous. Why not just hold up a sign saying, give me ownership of the building? Yeah. Yeah. Why stop there? Give me the owner.

Make me mayor. I deserve it. Supreme chancellor of the city. Why even stop there? Yeah. But in a more serious nature, why literally stop with only rent? Why don't they demand free utilities? Free utilities.

Free school. Free access. Free maintenance. Yeah, it's maintenance yeah the people who built this should be forced to maintain the building for free i'm not gonna give them anything it's like well i'll keep paying con ed because i want my electricity to stay on because they'll shut it off but i want rent free yeah it's like there's a lot of people that are just like you know my grandfather was one of those he had like three buildings he busted his butt off to try to you know fix everything that was wrong there's always things that were going wrong and if uh you know his whole life depended on getting rent from these people and you got to maintain that building for 30 years yeah 35 years whatever you know however long and maybe longer

these people come in for for a year right and you don't really it's really messed up in chicago there's a there's a problem where it's probably not unique to chicago but when people get evicted they take like hershey's syrup and squeeze it all throughout the cracks of wherever they can you can't get it out yeah it's like a deep clean so you got to pull up tile floors and everything so you have these people sometimes it's not hershey's chocolate that's true sometimes it's even worse excrement. Man. Yeah. And you see what the result is of this mentality of I get it for free.

Like, have you ever been to Crown Heights in Brooklyn? Yeah. There's a bunch of boarded up buildings just like... You know what's really crazy about New York? Have you ever played a video game where there's some building you can go in? You know what I'm talking about. Like GTA, for instance. Yeah.

Most buildings are just closed. Yeah. But a few of them you can go in. Very little what I'm talking about. Like GTA, for instance. Yeah. Most buildings are just closed. Yeah. But a few of them you can go in. Very little. More like Division would make more sense. Yeah. There's things that are open you can explore, but most are boarded up. Like parts of New York.

Just like New York, yeah. It's crazy. When I lived in Crown Heights, it's like I walked down this busy street, and I see all of these buildings boarded up. And I'm like, it's almost like being in a video game where you're not supposed to go in the building because they didn't design it yeah why are all these buildings just destroyed and it's because there's no one there to pay to maintain it exactly and that's what happens when you get these people who want to invert the flow of of like value yeah it's got to start from somewhere well there was already over the past maybe like i guess the past 10 years uh people leaving cities people going out into the smaller rural areas and getting huge houses for less mortgage their mortgage would

be less than what they were paying rent wise and they're like look at my property like i have they're gardening now and it's like There's a lot of that going around. So cities are emptying out already. With the internet? And now this? I'm looking at West Virginia, man. Yeah, I mean, the Skylink. What's that?

Is it Skylink? Skylink? What's it called? Elon Musk. Starlink. Starlink. Starlink, thank you. Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

You know what, man? It's going to be everywhere. Internet's going to be everywhere. That's amazing. Not even that. I mean, there are parts of West Virginia that's what I was thinking. You know what, man? It's going to be everywhere. Internet's going to be everywhere. That's amazing. Not even that. I mean, there are parts of West Virginia that have gigabit internet. Really? Like a lot of the places there.

And so now I'm thinking like, man, you could have this massive property. Yeah. You can run around wherever you want, do whatever you want. No one's going to get in your way. Listen, you know what's crazy to me about the cities? You live in New York. Tell me, when was the last time you talked to your neighbor? I can't. Nah live in New York. Tell me, when was the last time you talked to your neighbor? I can't.

Nah, you didn't. I'm trying to think. You know, there was one time that I was living in the Upper East Side where I was friends with my upstairs neighbor. But that was it. I lived in New York for 16 years and I never knew my neighbors. Never. I lived in the building next to you and then moved a block away. Yeah. And we knew each other. Right. We knew nobody else.

But we knew each other before that though. Right. Right. Now I was looking for an apartment. I'm like, oh, hey, this building opened up and you recommended it. Yeah. Luke, I talked to this before.

Luke Rutkowski has a video on his YouTube channel where it's from like 2012 where he goes in the subway and he's like, look at all these millions of people. And that one of them talks to each other. Let's talk to them. It's like a cool video. That is cool. Why bother living in the city crammed in this tiny box for a ridiculous amount, a ridiculous amount of money and really high taxes to be around people you don't want to talk to. Well, you're not, you're not thinking about what they do after work. You know, you sure you see them in the subway, but they're but they're either going to work or going to the place where they do congregate with people.

When you go to a bar in the middle of nowhere, there's like five people. They go there all the time. They all know each other. There's nothing new. Yeah, I get it. In New York, you go to a bar every single day. You can go to that same bar and you'll see no one of the same. Well, possibly.

Probably. Maybe just me, but I see these videos from quarantine you know people and they're like look we built a pillow fort in our living room it's like yes on my property we built a fort like a real one yeah with wood and then we climbed up in it or we we we dug a trench and like you can do so much on a massive property you can farm you can grow stuff you can grow stuff, you can build stuff. That's why I'm just, I'm, I've been slowly moving away from cities. Like, what's the point? What? And I mean, I get it work, right?

Yeah. But now with the internet, especially with what we do. Yeah. What's the incentive to be anywhere near one of these monstrosities with really high taxes, smog, garbage air, people you don't want to talk to. I mean, you, you made mention the other day that the air is cleaner because of this. And I didn't really pay attention to it, but I was out today skating, and I was just taking some deep breaths, and I was just like,

wow, the air is really cleaner. I can tell the difference. And it was nice. Yeah, we're really close to Philly. But imagine, way out in the middle of nowhere, West Virginia. I don't know. I can't name a big city in west virginia but it's not philadelphia it's not new york you know yeah it's not chicago it's like these big industrial places we've lived in i'm sure there's

a lot of people who are listening who live in more rural areas and at this point it's probably makes more sense than ever you get a big property with a with a low mortgage yep tons of open space the dog can run around and do whatever it wants you know you got rabbits doing what rabbits do whereas in like a city it's just concrete everywhere yeah we have turkeys over here though we do yeah they walk around rafters yeah well there's lots of geese too yeah definitely let's jump over to the super chats and then what should we do for the next one should we do how to be a real man

should we talk about how to be a real man yeah I think that's kind of we had a bunch of other ones but I think we'll get to being a real man as the next one let's try and figure out where the super chats are it's always the most fun part oh here we go that was not so difficult let's see where are we now is the next one. Let's try and figure out where the super chats are. It's always the most fun part. Oh, here we go. That was not so difficult. Nice. Let's see. Where are we now? Where are we, Tim?

There's the rats. Where are we? I think let's just... We're somewhere. We'll just start here. Right. Spaghetti Joe Rogan's powerful meatball says, if the general consensus is that government on both sides is corrupt and inefficient, wouldn't it be logical to be a libertarian. I know you do. But it's about Big L libertarian in the United States, which is like more right libertarianism versus typical liberty-minded. So there's a bunch of funny things about American big libertarians. OK. There's apparently some guy at the debate like pulled his pants off on stage. They had an argument about whether they whether or not they should be allowed to sell hard drugs to kids.

Yeah. That's see, that's ridiculous. Yep. Right. Right. So there needs to be some sort of structure in place for the people that are not logical. But this is classical liberal and social liberal. OK. That's the center left and center right positions. OK. So I'd be willing to bet that a lot of people who listen are classical liberals and that overlaps a bit with like center right conservative and then center left, which people try to claim Bernie as he's not.

Social liberal is essentially the same thing. But the difference is social liberals tend to think the government can play a role in solving certain social issues, either through like welfare programs or through social justice type initiatives. Okay. So the issue there for me is that these things that used to make sense, or that they make sense, have been completely co-opted by authoritarian leftists. Like social justice, a very good thing. Like I mentioned, static shock. Right, right, right. Trying to build bridges, connect people, help us understand one another is real social justice.

What they're doing with these movies is not. It's totally just ruining it. It's just swinging the pendulum back to the other – on the other side. But it's not even – no, it's just con artistry. It's authoritarianism. Yeah, you're right. So they're going to be like if you're thin, then you're an oppressor. Wait, what are you talking about?

That's not solving anything for anybody. It's not social justice. Right, yeah. So now social justice doesn't even mean anything anymore. But that was what it was so basically i that's the reason why i always say i'm a liberal i'm not a libertarian like i'm on the libertarian spectrum okay leaning to the left yeah but it's basically like i do not think you should be allowed to sell drugs to children a libertarian well liberal is is in a in the spectrum in the libertarian spectrum but it leans slightly more towards authority.

I know. I was just smashing it together. You didn't see what I did there? Yeah. I did a thing. What was it Sargon calls it? Liberal. Liberalist.

Liberalist. Yeah. Liberalist. So it's kind of like liberalitarian. Oh, there we go. Okay. Liberalist. Classical liberal is the live and let live, and it does overlap a lot with what we used

to think liberals were in like the 90s okay but they're not there anymore so now like liberal they're weird intersectional socialists like it doesn't mean anything anymore unless they're like voting for biden but those people have no principles anyway so i don't know i don't know what they're doing where were we east shore says tim how large large of a landslide are you predicting? Also, I work for a nursing home as an EVS manager. My staff and I are working hard for our residents, but it's a struggle since I lost six out of 11 staff last week due to COVID-19. Man, sorry to hear. Yeah, that sucks. I hate predicting anything. In 2018, I was like, man, the Republicans are going to sweep. They're

going to have a supermajority. And then the Democrats won the House. And I was like, wow, talk about being wrong. Yeah, I was way off. So I have no idea. I joked earlier on Twitter that Trump already won the general election. Yeah, that was like Biden. Come on, man. But hey, they laughed at Trump. They were all laughing. Well, like Trump will never win. Can you believe it? Hillary Clinton had a 99 percent chance, according to The New York Times. Wow. Really? Ninety nine percent. Yeah, some ridiculously high. No, I think it was like 93 or like 89 or something. And then they had this

meter that went like back and forth and it said Hillary Clinton's chances to win 99% or whatever and it was like hitting the end. And then throughout the night it slowly started moving over. And then I remember when it got to 50% and I was like sitting there like, what is happening? I was at the sputnik headquarters the

the russian like funded news outlet with uh cassandra fairbanks who at the time was a big trump supporter and she was like everyone in the office was like a clinton supporter and they were all very proud of themselves laughing like oh trump's gonna lose and all of a sudden i'm sitting there like i don't care man like you know people need to grow up and then the meters are shifting for trump cassandra's like laughing in tears like i can't believe this is happening and i was laughing as i was like it's just the funniest thing ever and then when it flipped over and it was like trump is basically the favorite to win it was the funniest thing ever yeah it was like comeuppance for these really elitists who thought they were

smarter and better than everybody who deserved everything and then they just got you know kicked straight in the nuts and it was like i don't know schadenfreude or however you say it so i mean people are laughing at biden so you're saying you think there's still a chance i think people would be very very unwise to underestimate joe biden look he gets on tv and he mumbles and he's like people are like ah what an idiot he's so dumb and then when he wins they're gonna be like i can't believe he won yeah no one could believe no one no one could believe it when trump won for all these reasons that's true biden could win he's polling above trump yes i don't believe it right i don't care what they say but i also

don't really consider myself to have much skin in the game i mean i agree as much as like the weird that's where i'm at well you know the weird woke lefties will say to you what they're gonna be like that's because you're a white male oh you don't understand that marginalized people it's like blah blah blah blah i get it dude we're gonna're going to keep moving on. Nothing is going to change that dramatically. Grow up, solve your own problems. And if Trump wins or doesn't win reelection, I'm going to be like, we'll have to navigate these waters. Yep. But I think the one thing that will absolutely cause Trump to lose hubris, all these Trump supporters laughing, thinking, thinking they won. I don't think they, I I don't think that's happening because he's been rallying and going around and people—

And voter turnout is ridiculously up, like double— It's like literally 100% increase in some areas over— But Trump's the incumbent, so it's like in the primary, it's not super important to go and vote. Okay, that's a good point. But he's doubling the numbers of Obama and Bush. Yeah, so his fans really want to come out to go and vote. Okay, that's good. But he's doubling the numbers of like Obama and Bush. Yeah. So his fans really want to come out and vote for him.

Yeah. So that's the thing. If they get complacent and come November, they're like, Trump's going to win. I don't need to go out and vote. Then Trump loses. That's a good point. I don't see that happening, though. I don't see that. That's not their attitude.

No, I think the attitude of a lot of these people is like, I want to it like there was there was a story of a dude whose buddy put a trump sign in his yard as a joke to like because he didn't like trump okay and so he like snuck in there one day and put a trump sign in his yard the city came to the guy's house and said remove the sign and he was like what sign oh what wait what and his buddy was like i put it there and then he was like but the city told them to take it down because there's like a sign law. It was like, I'm not taking it down. And they were like, you have to under the law. And he was like, you can't tell me what to do. So then he put up a ton of Trump flags all over his yard. And he said, he told the press, he's like, I don't even like the guy, but you try and tell me what to do. Yeah. That's the thing I think about a lot

of Trump's base is that a lot of them feel like the media has been kicking them so hard and insulting them and that these elitists like the Biden corporate Democrats have been such just like demeaning snide. These ego battles, man. Well, look, man, Michael Moore said it best. He said in 2016, these people, the downtrodden Joe Blow, Bob Blow, Billy Blow, all the blows are going to go down to the voting booth and give the biggest FU in the history of the world to the establishments who sold them out and everything and elect Donald Trump. Now, he was good. Now, the rest of the quote is wrong. He goes, and it'll feel good for a day, maybe a week or a month.

And then just like the people of England who voted for Brexit, they will regret it. Now here's the funny thing. The people of Brexit, people of Britain did not regret it. They voted three years later overwhelmingly for Brexit again. Fairly confident Donald Trump is going to landslide. But to answer your question. Yeah. Let's read some more. Way to bring it around. Yeah. Johnny Deerfuss says Rusty Cage is the rat king. Glad to hear it. Psygnosis says socialism equals rope democratic socialism isn't equals gang rope no you know what i like there's a meme

where it's like socialism and it shows someone putting people up against the wall and then says democratic socialism and they put party hats and like confetti on everybody it's the same photo right same photo yeah-Man says, why couldn't senators vote for the stimulus bill that we're quarantined? It's 2020. We have video chat now. Enjoy your content. Been watching for a year. I mean, we'll see the digitization of politics soon.

Yeah, that's interesting. Someone was ragging on Trump the other day, why shouldn't we vote in the mail? Why can't we vote in the mail? And he's like, well, because it can be fraudulent, easily swayed. And they're like, well, didn't you vote in the mail for the Florida primary? And he's like, yeah, I'm the president. It's not even, that's the most obvious thing. I know.

It's like, well, he's going to fly down to Florida. I mean, he could. But then they complain well, he's going to fly down to Florida. I mean, he could. But then they complain that he just flew down to Florida just to vote. But the other thing, too, is this is what the media does. They don't tell people the difference between absentee ballots, which are vote by mail, and there's a certification process, and completely opening up every single vote to the same process. I feel like we begrudgingly accept we have absentee ballots to do our best to make sure people have the opportunity to vote. Right.

But we want a secure voting system. So if we just mail out all the ballots, what happens if someone steals mine? And that'll happen. That's a good point. Because it is kind of, it's, it's. And changes your vote. You know what, man? I, I, I'm sorry to these people who want to keep changing the rules, but it seems like

the only argument they have is change the rules, but it seems like the only argument they have is change the rules. Yeah. It doesn't, it doesn't fly for me. It's like, listen, we all know what the rules are. If you want to vote, you go vote. If you don't want to vote, well then don't vote. And people don't vote. What's too bad. Yeah. You know where, like, I know where I go vote and I walk in and I, I know what the rules are. And there are places that you don't even need. It doesn't make sense. The voter ID thing. Why is that? If you want to go to the movies, you need an ID. If you want to vote, you don't.

It makes somehow literally no sense. Discriminatory. I don't know. It's it's it's it's mine. It's baffling. There's no real reason. No idea. All right, let's see.

Ryan North says, I got your hay. Yo, listen what I say. Oh, all right. Wolf and Coyote says, hey, Tim, keep up the good work. What is your opinion of graphene technology? Heard they are finally starting to use it for batteries now that the production costs have gone way down. I am excited for graphene. We'll see what happens.

And they can make it out of anything. It's great. Geo says, why hasn't anyone tried to sell guns to the primate gangs yet? Well, because they don't have money. Perhaps they could give you a nut of some sort or maybe a shiny rock. David says democratic socialism was always a sham. Hitler was elected. You could say he was a democratic nationalist socialist workers party leader. Yeah, exactly. He says, how does Soy Jesus have less than 500 subs on YouTube?

Because you guys didn't subscribe to Soy Jesus' YouTube. You know what? Come on, y'all. Someone, you know, every so often someone calls me a chat and it's like the last part, the driven part, it's kind of, it's hazy because I'm driven to make myself comfortable and to make myself happy. And I don't, like the amount of subs that I have on my channel. It has nothing to do with that.

There's no correlation. So I don't push my channel very strongly. You know. Some people have told me I should more. I just. I love my life. I love where I'm at. I love what I do.

And I'm happy. So I think that's really it. But thank you. What he's saying is. You guys have to subscribe to his channel. Yes. That's what I'm happy so I think that's really it yeah but thank you what he's saying is you guys have to subscribe to his channel yes that's what I'm getting I mean sure subscribe and uh I don't you know I don't post that much so but you know I would like to post some skate videos some music videos I just I just did a scratch track for a song we're working on today yeah so here's some good news for all y'all looking for work. I am looking for an animator. Yes.

I need an animator. It's true. He needs an animator. So I have a bunch of songs I'm working on. We just did the first scratch for a song about war and conflict. It's a good song. If you're somebody who wants to help animate a very, like, brutal, maybe brutal, serious, serious song, I'm looking for someone to animate so uh yeah hit me up yeah but like gritty sketchy you know murder death explosions but not like over the top explosions more political than anything it's a good political military

revolution style well a bunch of people are now asking what my, where am I? You can just type my name in YouTube. That's actually my YouTube name. So that's, it's pretty easy to find me. And you can follow us on Instagram and Twitter. And Twitter and Instagram. And also hit that like button if you haven't. And share. Let's read some more of these super chats.

If you want to. Clint Flippo says, just want to say I have been really enjoying the show. It is way more chill than other social political podcasts, and sometimes, especially now, people need that. Stay safe, everyone. Will do. Thank you. John, thanks for the super chat.

Thank you. Sandwich says, The original idea behind malls was exactly what Adam just described. They became what they are due to incentives for developers that essentially made them ideal tax havens. Interesting. Wow. Let's bring it back.

Fearless Soldier says, Question for Adam. What are your thoughts on PETA? PETA. deal tax havens interesting wow let's bring it back fearless soldier says question for adam what are your thoughts on pita uh pita i i like some of the things they do and i dislike some of the things they do didn't they like steal dogs yeah they're they're not the best company but they and they pick they pick and choose their battles which i I don't like. They like to save face a lot and... Play politics instead of actually... They do play politics.

Yeah, welcome to the show. Yeah, exactly. I'm not about that. I'm very firm in what I believe, and I don't see them doing that. They're like, eh, we're not going to touch that. We're going to go gung-ho on this. I don't have any specific examples, but... Well, it wasn't like the president

uh diabetic taking insulin which was pig insulin there was a there's a story about that a while ago really i don't know if it's true i don't want to impugn the honor of these activists but what you'll find with a lot of nonprofits having been somebody who's like i've personally worked for a lot of them oh yeah man the playing politics is always about saving face seriously you'll have like a politically inconvenient you know uh spectacle and they're going to be like well you know actually the perfect example time's up okay the tara reed accuses joe biden she goes to the time's up organization which is basically the me too and they're like well because joe biden's running for president we can't actually help you.

Oh. The accusations are only good. Oh, but Brett Kavanaugh. Well. Yeah, you see how the game is played. I don't like any of these groups. Same thing. Kevin Kevin says,

Hola. Si, senor. Hold your wallet. Ghost Crusaders says, Inspire brands, Arby's, Buffalo, Wild Wings wild wings and sonic are planning to pay half of the rent for may june july and august we'll see how it goes bruce bruce matthews thanks for that hefty super chat yeah i saw that thank you appreciate you and let's see where are we now we just got a big jump buick says most property management companies are waiving late fees and

offering rent deferral plans over multiple months these rent payments numbers for april are as real as china's reporting interesting wolfen county, which is the bigger contributor wages with little movement for 20, 30 years and things getting more and more expensive or kids being raised on luxury and easy life and thinking that should be the starting point when they're, when their parents started lower. We, it's funny that we hear a lot that, uh, we like we're the first generation to have it worse than our parents i've heard that so much during occupy wall street yeah i don't i don't know if i agree with that so i was listening to gary vaynerchuk and his parents came over from hungary when it was under i believe they came over from some communist country and he was talking about how

they never ever ever complained and he was talking about how people need a little bit of perspective because we live in the best time we've ever had. Exactly. That's what we were saying earlier about the people coming here. They see what we've got. They're like, wow, America. Look at America. That's why they still want to come here.

And then the people here are like, what? This is normal. Could be better. I'm bored. I'm bored now with my life. And it's like, what? Look is normal. Could be better. This is, I'm bored. I'm bored now with my life. And it's like, what? Look how good you have it. You have no idea.

They need some perspective. Yes, they do. All right. We are going to have to speed up once again. So if we don't get to your super chats, I do apologize. But I do the best I can. Sorry. Seven Killer says, hey, Tim, I do remodeling for apartments.

And there is so much that goes into it. People who say landlord is in a job doesn't understand how much has to be done to maintain buildings. Our last job was 5K plus. Definitely anybody who owns a home knows like, dude, you do not. Things are expensive. But it's not just that dealing with neighbors, dealing with taxes, dealing with infrastructure stuff.

All the laws. Yeah. Oh, man. Oh, yeah. Can I do this? Can I do that? I can't do this. Why can't I do this?

You know what? Adam Kregler for president, says Joe Black. Oh, man. There I do this? Can I do that? I can't do this. Why can't I do this? You know what? Adam Krigler for president, says Joe Black. Oh, man, there's an endorsement. Whoa, whoa, whoa. This person's name is Epstein Didn't Kill Himself, saying, I'm still expecting to see y'all assemble a paranormal investigation team. Call it Beanie Gang. Do it.

And we need to get a dog. I would so be down. Beanie Mysteries. Speaking of my YouTube channel, I actually go deep into this old like 1906 mortar base and i like i it's pitch black it was like iron gate but these uh rangers opened it i was actually doing a photo shoot and they they were like taking pictures of us and they left it open as they left and i'm like i'm going in there And I went deep into this base and I was recording and people have commented on it, but I swear a ghost laughs at me.

And then you can hear in the white noise as I pass through this doorway, a woman screaming. It's crazy. I did not hear it when I was there. And if I did, I would not gone as deep as I've gone. I went deep into that place. It was creepy, but I'd love to do that more. Anyway, go.

Serendipitous Lee says, what are your top couple muse songs? I love Uprising and Thought Contagion. Love the show too. Been watching since the first night. Such a great trinity. I adore hearing the Holy Ghost speak. She has the most soothing voice. Oh, thanks.

Top muse songs. Oh, man. There are too many that are good. They're all good. Just all of them. Every single one. So many. Muscle Museum, I really, really like.

City of Delusion. The obvious classics like Hysteria, Knights of Cydonia. They're all good. Thought Contagion. They're newer stuff. Thought Contagion's good. Pressure. Dig Down. Time is Running Out. Falling Away With You. There's so many good music songs.

I know. I can play so many. Music is so good. I can play so many on the guitar, but I really like City of Delusion right now. And Muscle Museum is definitely always one of my go-tos. I love Muscle Museum. On the guitar, I love playing Hysteria. Yeah, you're good at it too. I love playing the bass riff.

All right, let's see what we got here. Church FTC says, yo, Tim an i'm an animator where should i message you uh if you're an animator and this is the challenge because i'm going to get 50 million emails and i apologize i'll try to get to who i can but you can email me at tim at timcast.com and i'm looking for an animator so so make sure you send me some videos examples of your work and hopefully you know i can i can't get to everybody, obviously, because I always get like a thousand emails whenever I put a shout out. But we've got some music being recorded. And I'm going to go full into this song I'm recording. It's about,

should I say what it's about? Yeah, why not? It's basically a song that describes the cycle of revolution where the first verse is basically the dictator who thinks he's justified executing rebels, which leads to, you know, after after he kills these like activists, their kid is hiding under the bed and then the kid grows up and becomes the rebel who overthrows the government. And then the last segment is that rebel now that that kid is an adult and he puts on the dictator's hat and then goes and kills activists and there's a kid hiding under the bed and the cycle just keeps churning

of people thinking they're justified in overthrowing because their way of life is always better. I love it. Yep. It's a good song. It's super cool. It's good. Gets in my head.

Yeah. Well, hopefully we'll get it done. Yep. Andrew Simmons says, I find this show and your other content as a representation of what is good debate. Extremism is the true evil of society. Tim and Adam have their views, but don't try to force them on others.

This is how society should work. Agreed. I think it's fascinating. I just kind of like sit here and talk about what I think, and I'm like, hey, man, you do you. Exactly. I'm going to do me. With that being said, let's talk about what it means to be a real tough man. That's a good segue.

Good segue. Yeah, this one, I don't know. You want to take it away? Yeah, I guess, sure. The title here, it's fake toughness versus the real thing. People who are really tough

rarely feel the need to show it. So let's get into that. So let's say an observation. The strongest men I know, guys who deadlift over 500 pounds, run four minute for the mile, run a discus hundreds of feet, or run ultra marathons tend to be caring, considerate, and generally calm dudes.

The guys I know who want to be strong and tough, but who are not, tend to be loud, defensive, and overly proud. Seems pretty accurate, right? So it says toughness isn't walking around with your chest puffed out trying to intimidate. It's making the right decision under uncertainty and distress. So let me interject. Yeah, go ahead. You know the reset the clock hashtag, the meme? No, I don't.

I'm going straight for the throat on this one. What is it? What is it? I don't know. So it's a meme that represents how many days it's been since a male feminist assaulted a woman. Oh, okay. And this actually, I'm going right for it. It plays right into this.

I'm thinking about a regular guy who is not interested in these screechy, woke feminist types. He's calm. He's rational. He knows he's good at what he's confident. He can run a four-minute mile. He can throw a discus hundreds of feet. And he's not interested in playing these weird games, pandering to some woman who's screeching He's rational. He knows he's good at what he's confident. He can run a four-minute mile. He can throw a discus hundreds of feet. And he's not interested in playing these weird games, pandering to some woman who's screeching in his face.

Exactly. With the male feminists. That's it. They're the chest-puffing white knights. They need to prove something. Yep. They got to show what they've got. Yeah.

It's like, ugh. Yeah. Well, so there's the quote. Toughness isn't walking around with your chest puffed out, trying to intimidate. It's making the right decision under uncertainty and distress strength isn't yelling and shouting it's having the inner resources to navigate storms i like that a lot yeah look at this they actually break it down now more than ever it seems we are in we are in desperate need of new masculinity just imagine if we started to raise our sons with the

following core values i'm going to read through them first before I describe them. Wisdom, real toughness, vulnerability, humility, authentic self-security. I love that. Wow. Yeah. Wisdom, allowing yourself to be open to and shaped by experience, not being scared of change and not being scared to change. Wonderful.

Real toughness, composure, clear-headedness, and stability in the midst of uncertainty, not to be confused with machismo, acts of strength. Now, hold on. Weren't we just told by the American psychologists or whatever that stoicism is like a mental disorder or something? Toxic masculinity. Toxic masculinity. Oh, my God.

Being calm and clear-headed, rational, is considered toxic. Now, hold on. Now, the writer actually was talking about guys, but I don't even know if this is necessarily about men in general because this can apply to women also. Right. You know, it's like you can be a tough human, you know, and a weak human, and these still apply, you know, across the board. Totally. Don't you think? Yeah, absolutely. Look and a weak human. And these still apply, you know, to across the board,

you know, don't you think? Yeah, absolutely. Look at this real vulnerability, putting yourself out there, all of it, even and perhaps especially the imperfections and flaws that make you human. I totally respect that. Yeah. That's exactly why I think people have been saying good things about me because I'll be like, oh man, I was totally wrong about 2018. I got no excuse for that. Yep. What am I supposed to say? Am I supposed to pretend like I'm invincible? Yeah. I'm always right.

That's ridiculous. Or ignore it. How many people do? Yeah. You know what really bugs me? There are some progressives on YouTube I talk to all the time. And I've reached out to one with like, hey, man, I think you got this one wrong. And they refuse to accept it, refuse to admit it, just ignore it.

I absolutely, like I get messages and they're like, hey, Tim, I think you're wrong about this. I'll be like, oh, was I? And I'll go and immediately and be like, hey, update correction. I may have been wrong about this. Yeah. I really don't see the issue with accepting that you're not perfect. I don't get it either. But it's the fake tough guys who think they're always right. Humility, which brings me to humility. Humility. Yep. Knowing what you don't know, which for almost all of us is the vast majority of everything. Exactly.

True. Understanding that your view of the world is merely one of billions, being curious instead of narrow, open instead of closed. You know what the problem is? All of these things have been described as toxic masculinity. All of them, you're right. Yeah. It's crazy.

They want, I had that, who was the guy here? Who's the doctor? Sean Smith. Sean Smith. Yeah. Yeah. Great dude. Yeah.

That was a good episode. And it's like, he was talking about the importance of stoicism and being calm and clear headed. Like if you're driving in your car with your wife and your kids and you crash and you've got to like get out and fix the car. Right. You have to be calm. You can't break down. You've got to make sure that you can be a good leader so that your family is also not freaking out

and they're calm exactly but imagine what they want for you like when they say it's toxic masculinity they want the husband and the wife to start crying and doing nothing the men the men must emote more then he would just be sympathizing with his wife I guess I guess that's what they're going for pander yeah pander to the woman

tell her whatever she wants to hear it's not a good strategy it doesn't sound appealing to be around any person like that man or woman no i think i think the big issue here actually is we get to the root of this and the real issue is don't be plastic like be a real person yeah yeah just be chill yeah don't pretend don't make things up say what you say what you say say what you mean mean what you say and some people show that side of themselves and and very quickly revert to plastic yeah it's challenging yeah it is it's like you know there's people get triggered or uncomfortable or embarrassed and instantly you know try to you know squash it instead of like

you know really exploring it really it's like what it what is going through my brain right now what is happening you know asking that about themselves you gotta learn let it go yeah yeah so many not maybe not even just let it go but understand it you gotta learn to understand it you know if something's happening you should delve into that more you know and and try to figure out what's going on well check this out this out. This is an interesting, this is a report, I guess, from the American Council of Science and Health. Testosterone may make men more honest. This is really interesting. They say testosterone does a lot of different things for men.

It masculinizes the body, boosts the sex drive, and contributes to hair loss. Now researchers think it may also make men more honest. In recent years, there has been an interest in determining how our hormones affect our economic behavior, such as gambling and financial risk-taking. The financial industry is dominated by men, and if testosterone influences decision-making, this potentially has a profound implication for the national economy. Paradoxically, testosterone promotes pro-social behaviors in some circumstances and anti-social behaviors in others. The reason for this aren't entirely clear, but it may involve a man's desire to increase his social status. Previous research shows that testosterone may actually make a man a fairer negotiator. To investigate the phenomena

further, a team of researchers administered testosterone gels to 124 college-age male volunteers and placebo gels to 118. They were then given a die and told to roll it. And whatever number came up was the amount of money they were to receive for participating in the experiment. Because they rolled the die in private, they could cheat by reporting a higher value than they actually rolled. The authors hypothesized that the testosterone group would be more honest. The results showed that both groups cheated, but the placebo group cheated more, which was consistent with the team's hypothesis. Interesting. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Back to the male feminists. Low testosterone guys lying to women to try and get laid. Why am I not surprised? That's really interesting. It's a weird thing. Fake toughness. No testosterone. Lying and cheating behind the scenes these people are made for each other but what can a guy do to i guess boost their testosterone if they are a soy boy

you gotta work out not a soy bro yeah gotta work out exercise driven experience find role models that you want i i you know i think about the Try Guys, the BuzzFeed dudes who took the testosterone test and they were like 30% of average testosterone, some ridiculously low number. Super low. Yeah. Well, I mean, there's a lot of data here that I'm not gonna get into,

but they show the results of what people were rolling, and I guess they determined that people were cheating because the proportions made no sense based on like, so if you roll the dice a number of times, you should expect a certain percentage of results, but they were skewing high, meaning people were giving higher numbers so they can get paid more. You know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. They say the fact that two different studies arrived at the same conclusion, that testosterone appears to make men more honest,

suggests the effect is real. However, the failure of the current study, which was far larger than the previous study to find its own significant result, further suggests the testosterone effect on honesty is rather small. Well, in the long run, I think it's kind of obvious. You know, if that was the correlation, I'm not entirely sure, but it's obvious that guys who are sure of themselves, who are confident, have no reason to lie. Right. They know what they're doing. They know what their path is. They're comfortable.

It's like if you're comfortable, when you lie, you have to remember that and it changes. And then it adds an uncomfortableness to whatever environment you're in. So if you are telling the truth, it's really simple. I wonder. It's really easy. But I also wonder if it has something to do with how much you care, right? There's kind of a catch-22 where when, I don't know in what, whatever, let me start over. When talking about young guys who are trying to hook up with women,

they say that desperate guys never stand a chance, right? Because they, they come on too strong. They're very obviously desperate, but then you end up with a dude who's never gotten laid becoming more and more increasingly desperate and awkward. Whereas the dudes who get laid very easily become less desperate and they don't care. So now you have a bunch of guys who are aloof and confident, like, I can get whatever I want, whenever I want, I don't care. And so now it's more attractive that they're aloof and kind of on their own. Whereas the desperate guys increasingly, you know, struggle with it. So it's kind of like, I guess the point I'm trying to make is dudes who are confident and tough and high testosterone don't need to try as hard. It's just, it's, it's coming

to them naturally, which also makes them more confident, more successful. It's kind of like there's two paths. And if you fall into the depreciative path, if you're going negative, it's going to be worse until you can course correct and get out of that pitfall. Yeah. If you ever can, if you ever can, you might end up as one of these predatory male feminists pretending to actually care about stupid causes that no one actually cares about because you're a liar just desperately trying to get laid. Yeah. almost like a feedback loop if you can't do it you're going to feel like a failure if you feel like a failure you'll never be appealing and then you'll never yep yep exactly and then you'll find out that you you ended up as a male feminist and like who would want to be one of these people in a room full of people that they're they're

making fun of you and you're just like yeah like it's it's, these guys who are sitting in rooms and the women are like, men are awful. And the male feminist goes, aren't they? Why would you sit there and take that? Yeah. Defend yourself. Yeah, exactly. Do you think they respect you when you sit there and do that?

I don't get it. It's not honest. No, it's not. Yeah. Well, some of these. Do you not even enjoy living? Yeah. Do you not enjoy yourself?

That's something you can't change. Self-flagellation. Some people don't. Yeah. i'm not you know i'm not trying to like make light on that but it's sad yeah well what can you say man yeah well how about we uh we we hop over the last few super chats we uh we'll start to wrap this up for those that have been hanging out thanks so much make sure you subscribe at the like button and uh follow us tim at timcast at adam criggler on instagram and twitter and youtube and
