Timcast IRL - TimcastIRL #44 - New York Digs Mass Graves For COVID Dead, Claims Prisoners NOT Digging This Time

Episode Date: April 10, 2020

This evening's show starts on Hart Island, NY, where mass graves are being dug by 'hired help' (definitely NOT prisoners, we are told). This leads to a conversation about surviving an apocalypse and Tim talks about his high-pressure training sessions, international conflict, and the disinfo campaign we see from the mainstream media. Next an article about how coronavirus is highlighting toxic masculinity because men are dying more than women (?). And finally, what it would look like to mine on the moon.

How's it going, everybody? Welcome to the show. This is the TimCast IRL podcast. I am Tim Poole, and I am joined by... What's up, everybody? Adam Krigler here. How you doing? And also... And we also got... The Invisible Lady. The Invisible Lady. Yes. The Invisible Lady.

All right, we got the Fs in chat. We're ready to rock. We got the Fs in chat. There was a period where there was seeming... It was like a light at the end of the tunnel. We've been having this pandemic thing kind of come and go. You know, it's been up and down. It's like, it's like, oh, it's not so bad. Oh, man, it's the end of the world. Oh, it's not so bad. And then these drone shots get released of New York City digging mass graves.

And I'm like, ugh. Corona coaster. They're double stacking dead bodies on top of each other. That's nuts. I saw those pictures. It's horrifying. It really is. And they're saying, don't worry.

Don't worry. The mass graves are temporary. You just got to come and claim the dead. It's like, hold on, man. Wait. Seriously? That's what they're saying? I think.

We'll read through it to be sure. Oh, man. All right. But anyway, we got a bunch of stories for all of you guys. Make sure to hit the like button, subscribe, hit the notification bell. YouTube makes it very difficult for everybody. But also up in the super chat, if you want us to read your comments your comments we will and everyone's going nuts in chat with all the f's appreciate you guys hopefully everyone hopefully it's working we're live right yeah it should be good that's

f for love yeah for f for loving the show all right perfect that's what i'm that's how i take it yeah we're good but we got it we got it well we're gonna start with uh this horrifying story and then um because you know we love to just be pessimists. But there's actually another, there's a couple of things within this. Normally, they use prison labor to dig the mass graves. Okay. And it's like a normal thing. Really?

Yeah. Wait, to dig mass graves is a normal thing? Normal thing in New York. Are they constantly digging mass graves? They are. Really? Not because of the pandemic, just in general? In general.

Wow. I didn't know that. Yeah. And so apparently, I could be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure somebody asked Bill de Blasio, the mayor, like, hey, what's going on with these prison inmates digging mass graves for the COVID dead? And he goes, no, no, no, no. We do this all the time.

It's normal. Everyone was like, oh, God, what do you mean? That's normal. That's way worse. Like, what? That is not fair. You're not making us feel better dude what everybody wants to walk around with their blinders on yeah clearly and there's serious problems with population expansion and and you know population density in new york so we'll say we'll say we're going to come up on this story we've also got vox asking the strange question is that there's so much wrong with this. Why is it that men are more susceptible? Why fewer women are being impacted? But the first problem I

have with this article from Vox is like, you can't spend the past several years talking about how there's like no sex differences and all this weird social justice stuff. I'm not saying they're the worst, but now all of a sudden when there's science involved and men are dying more like double twice the rate women are now it's like hmm why is this are there differences perhaps there are oh i can't wait to get into that oh yeah that's gonna be fun that was sarcasm by the way but but but also but also the coronavirus is exposed just how deep toxic masculinity runs in our culture. Oh. That's right.

Really? Yeah, there's always some way to weasel in some stupid ideological nonsense. Great. More fun. But we do have a fun story. We've got moon mining coming. We've got a big telescope. We've got some space exploration.

Yes. We just watched Interstellar again. I'm all about it. What a fun movie. It's a good movie. It's fun to watch stuff and be optimistic. You should watch the show Mars. I just finished watching it. What a fun movie. It's a good movie. It's fun to watch stuff and be optimistic. You should watch the show Mars. I just finished watching it.

It was really good. What's it about? It's about us colonizing Mars, but it's half documentary, half show. And it goes back into basically like four years ago into the science of what we knew because that's when it came out. Oh, it's legit. Yeah, a legitimate documentary and fiction. It's both. oh it's legit yeah like a legitimate documentary and fiction it's both so it's cool it's a it's a mix because half of it is showing like what we had prepared for say a

pandemic that would have hit us on mars if we were to find one and have it run through us and they talk about sars they talk about china lying about stuff in sars of course this this now happens but you know be cool the episode then they hit a pandemic in Mars and it like kills a bunch of people and you know be cool it's crazy but yeah it's awesome it'd be cool for like they do experiments in Antarctica and uh so you so you know we were reading that story um I think it was last week that they found evidence that Antarctica used to be like a tropical right ice yeah yeah right no jungle whatever you know digging deep into the ice and it releases some ancient viruses like or fungus that infects the human brain and turns them into host zombies that run around.

Like, what's that video? The Last of Us. Wouldn't that be awesome? No. All humanity wiped out in a fungus zombie apocalypse. I'm sorry, no. No? Yeah, but as part of one of the themes we've talked about in the past several weeks, there's

so many people who pretend like that would be fun. Yeah. Until the... They think it would be fun because it's not the movies they see the movies and they're like oh man i would be awesome there it's that would be great right sure man if i said i'm like dude you can't i'm so much better and faster it's like those are the people you don't want to be in the apocalypse with it's also kind of like those are those are the fake tough people exactly exactly what's the saying?

It's like the quiet guy at the bar is the one you don't want to mess with. Right. It's the guy who's pretending to be all tough. Yep. I mean, it's not always the case. Often there's a lot of arrogant dudes who are tough. Yeah, that's a good point. And they'll be like, I can do whatever I want, and they'll actually punch you in the face.

But speaking of getting punched in the face, let's jump to our first segment. All right. The Daily Mail reports workers in full hazmat suits bury rows of coffins in Heart Island Mass Grave as New York City officials confirm coronavirus victims will be buried there

if their bodies aren't claimed within two weeks after death, after death toll rises to 4,260. So, man, this is brutal. Yeah, it is. There's a few things that need to be pointed out because I don't trust the city. I think they're lying. They're claiming these are contract laborers.

All right, I'm going to give you all a warning. For those that are just tuning in, there's going to be some images that might not make you happy. They're not graphic or anything, but they're images of the mass graves. And so, look, I think this is newsworthy. It's important to talk about. It is pretty shocking, yeah. But my deepest sympathies and condolences to those who have lost their lives lives their loved ones these are people who haven't been claimed by anybody so it's probably older people homeless people i'm not showing this out of a lack of sensitivity i'm showing it because we need to have conversation about what what real life is like i didn't think about the homeless in new york there's a lot and that's why they do this normally wow so here you

can see these workers in in full PPE gear. They're stacking bodies. This guy's standing on the grave, on these coffins. Yeah. And you can see that they're stacked two on top of each other, maybe even more. Yeah, at least. Can't really see very well, but at least two. This guy's standing up to his shins in the dirt that's being poured in. These are mass graves, man.

Oh, man. Now, look. New York City said these are not prison laborers doing it and it's and it's kind of insane they had to do that in the first place i don't believe them you know why check this out this is from march 31st the intercept rikers island prisoners are being offered ppe and six dollars an hour to dig mass graves six dollars an hour that's bs man that's ridiculous that's hard labor yo let me let me let me just say these people who are begging for a zombie apocalypse and like a nightmare dystopia yeah

like wouldn't it be really cool if i lived in the future you're living in it dude yeah you are here you're locked in your house people are getting arrested for going outside they're spying on your cell phones google knows where you are you know google's tracking everyone's phone data and publishing it publishing it not your individual data but they're tracking what everyone is doing and then publishing the mass data of like here's what humans are doing so they're tracking you so my siblings and i tried this where you type into google um we are with you and it pulls up your location yeah if you type if you type in something like we are with you here or something like that yeah we're here with you we are here with you yeah some weird thing like that what and it shows you where you are yeah it pulls up your location yeah so my sister

did it on duck duck go and nothing obviously of course it's google being creepy google being creepy that's what i use duck duck yep yep we are we are living in a world where a pandemic is sweeping the globe people are being arrested when they go outside people are being arrested for telling jokes in some countries like in the uk we've got being shot in other countries for just breaking quarantine no that's not true that was fake news oh was it totally fake news interesting yeah so so we'll clarify we'll clear this one up yeah i was gonna i was gonna do a segment on this yeah yeah man everyone so uh uh duterte in the philippines said shoot him dead if they break quarantine right and was that true that was true. Okay.

And then all of a sudden the story started going around saying man who breaks quarantine is shot dead. Yeah. And so I'm like, wow, look, there it is. There's the news. So I pull it up. I'm like, let's talk about it. And so then I start, you know, I read a little bit and I'm like, man, that's crazy. Guess what the story really was?

A few paragraphs down. What? Well, the guy was drunk and swinging a scythe at people. Oh, yeah. They didn't shoot him for breaking quarantine. They shot a drunk and swinging a scythe at people. Oh, yeah. They didn't shoot him for breaking quarantine. They shot a drunk man swinging a scythe at civilians.

Whoa. That's crazy. It's a crazy story. It's crazy, but it's not. But it's not someone. He's not breaking quarantine. Yeah, it wasn't because of that. No, he's actually a threat to society.

But you know what's really scary? You know what proves we're in the dystopia? What? That people don't think we're in one. That's a good point. It's like you've been coaxed scary you know what proves we're in the dystopia what that people don't think we're in one that's a good point it's like they they you you've been coaxed into this nightmare world well it feels like some people are in this and some people aren't you know i took a walk today and i saw

other people my neighbor hey what's up how you doing walked past you know across the street you know social distancing and all but you know, it felt normal. You know, it didn't it. There's a you know, that's why people were like, is it real? Is this really happening? Because I don't see it. I don't know anybody that's sick. And obviously it's really happening, even though you can't see it. But it does feel like there's still bubbles of people that are life still kind of normal. This is how movies desensitize us. Yeah.

We're so used to watching a movie where there's constant action. Yeah. Like something has to happen for you to know that. Okay. Whoa. Now we're in the pandemic. Now it's actually happening. Let me tell you,

buddy, when they started digging the mass graves and they started using prison labor to do it, that was a long time ago. We've been here for a minute. So what i guess people don't realize new york what is it uh 8 8.6 million in the city yeah what do you almost nine 400 uh so it's 150 150 people die per day in new york on average normally normally okay right

now it's way way up like it was what like 750 the other day, like ridiculous because of COVID. Yeah. But what people don't realize is homeless people, like tens of thousands. There really is a lot. They die. Like, what do you think they do with them? They dig mass graves and just dump the bodies on Heart Island. Yeah. That's, that's, that's, and it's only going to get worse.

And it's going to get, yeah, it's going to be increasingly, I don't know, man. Look, New York City's population density, it's like 28 be increasingly – I don't know, man. Look, New York City's population density is like 28,000 per square mile. People are living in smaller and smaller houses, microscopic apartments for insane amounts of money. At a certain point, it's going to – it's got to snap. I mean this is the snapping point. I know people personally that have left New York because they lost their jobs. But not coming back. And they're not coming back.

They packed their stuff up and took it with them. They can't pay for their apartment anymore. Luckily, they have places to go. But I can't imagine this is not happening everywhere in New York. Yeah, dude. Because New York's expensive. It's not cheap to live there. Food's more expensive.

Living's more expensive. Everything is more expensive there. And you don't necessarily make more money there either. Sometimes you do, and you get get lucky you get a good job you know and but it's people are people are going there and they're realizing i think i think covid was the damn breaking it is yeah exactly because now people like so many people are dying so many people have left because of economic reasons don't want to come back you know and i'm sure a lot of people are scared to come back yeah exactly but the population density was so insane that New York City

apparently now is like the worst city on the planet for COVID. Wow, really? New York State is like the epicenter of infections. Man. And people keep trying to

flock into these big cities and just at a certain point you can't sustain life that tightly packed. The crazy thing is I have friends that are still in New York. They send me pictures like check check out the park here and there's people hanging out in the park like not not just like sporadically or by themselves but just you know

hanging out in the park like everything's normal you know the the mayor actually took up all the the hoops in the basketball courts took them off I don't know if you guys heard about this. It's because people kept playing basketball. And it's like you're sweating, you're coughing. You're not coughing, but you're sweating all over each other, playing basketball. Basketball is fun, but when there's a pandemic, maybe you shouldn't play.

But now they don't have a choice. Even outside of the pandemic, these photos of these people digging mass graves, like the defense was no we do this all the time there's there's tons of mass grit yeah they did all the time that's not a defense that makes it worse and weirder right oh my god they actually they actually imagine this bill de blasio is so used to them doing this he actually thought people would be like oh they do it all the time right what do you mean it's not a big deal we do it all the time people are like oh

yeah it's it's It's creepy, man. The fact that we've gotten to the point even before the pandemic should have been a red flag to everybody. Take a look at these photos, man. For those that are listening, I can just describe them. But you got a bunch of people walking around in the white hazmat suits. And on both ends, it looks like, of this big trench they've dug, there's just caskets stacked up. They have a ladder going down. It's got to be like, what, 10 feet, you think?

Maybe, yeah, 12 feet. 12 feet? Yeah, at the deep part. Yep, at the deep part. 12 feet. They got a little, what was that, a little bobcat or something? Dude, that's four, three, four. Look at that.

Whoa. This is showing three coffins deep. Wow. Three coffins deep. Wow. Man. That's crazy. You know where- Of course, that one coffin there looks empty i don't know what that means yeah that was like maybe it busted

open and i don't know let's hope not yeah dude they're stacking three coffins three coffins deep man wow dude welcome who would want why would anyone want to live in this place now it's an island yeah it's not like you could stumble upon it yeah and that building looks pretty abandoned yeah yeah there's trees growing out the top of it yeah that's so messed up dude that's we can't live like this what's what's gonna happen in a in a hundred years you're gonna run out of space on the island what do you do i mean we're viking funerals plowing over everything yep yeah and just more concrete put more buildings up i you look at a map a satellite map of of the united states okay and you see it's green right yeah you see it's green on the east coast then you as you move to the midwest you start seeing a little

brown and the rockies and everything like that yeah i always thought it was like you were seeing trees and stuff you're not it's all developments so i was actually i've been looking just around various areas for like farm properties yeah and i keep i would look i would find like a very green area when you zoom on satellite when you zoom in and get closer and closer it's houses suburbs you're seeing the grass but everything's been ripped apart there are some parts like the pennsylvania wilds that are still you know very very foresty for long stretches. For the most part, man, everything's been torn up, no matter where you go. Not in Kansas.

No? Well, no, obviously as you move west, it starts getting further and further apart. Definitely on the east. But the east coast, you know what? Now, here's where it gets worse. Well, I mean, have you looked at Europe? It's basically the same. Right.

No, it's worse. New York is way worse. Check this out. More coronavirus patients testing positive again after recovery report. And here I was getting all I was feeling better because they were saying, like, we think we're nearing the peak. We think we're going to you know, I think it was, you know, Trump's Trump's administration said May 1st. We're aiming for reopening. Yeah. Then this story comes out. This is from today. People are testing positive again after recovery.

Like they're getting reinfected or... Didn't we know about this? No. Two months ago, someone in Japan got reinfected? Yeah, but one story is like maybe it was a false positive. Maybe it was a false negative. Yeah, but we talked about having multiple phases. Yep.

And that could potentially be a thing. Now we have now we have more stories of people getting reinfected so what we're gonna be locked down forever talking about this stuff you know what i mean and what's really scary is if it does mutate and we make a vaccine for the first version and by the time we make the vaccine and start working it into the population if it mutates to something different, will we always just be chasing this? You know, are we going to ever beat it?

That's kind of what we do with the flu is we're constantly chasing it. Sometimes it's not very effective. It's not the flu. It's different. Right. But in that same sense, are we just going to forever be chasing coronavirus? Maybe we can't even.

Maybe we've just reached the point where humanity can't grow larger than it is there's a scary premise what do we have like seven point what are we eight billion seven billion seven seven point something billion maybe that's the line and then the the the population density is so intense the the and plus with airplanes yeah and and the transport we have maybe this is the point where it's not even about the coronavirus, but any virus at this point could spread so fast that we can't have... Yeah, we are traveling everywhere. Even if we had less people, it really is airplanes that have changed the game. It's true. Now, here's...

But here, you know, we're not at Spanish flu levels. Right. And, you know, even then, they had the first wave and the the second wave and i think there's like a third wave but even as bad as it is right now it's we're not you know it's like what 20 million died of the spanish flu right but can you imagine if they had airplanes as as uh normal as it is now well that's what i'm saying like even with with airplanes covet is nowhere near as bad okay but but what's strange is that the spanish flu's mortality rate was less i think that's why everyone's freaking out okay they also didn't have the internet and there was a war going on so it's a good point we might be facing something comparable but we're better equipped

to deal with it right so the wartime a lot of uh soldiers died and was it because they strictly were healthy and got this or were they wounded from battle already and you know were susceptible i was reading about it they said that the natural selection was inverted because typically when people get sick they stay home okay makes it harder to spread makes sense but with the war people who got sick were were sent back on trains to go home and so it spread everything everywhere made it a lot worse but it but it did come in in a couple And so it spread everything everywhere. Made it a lot worse. But it did come in a couple waves. So it was like in August it came back really strong and started hitting younger people, I believe. Or I think it started hitting younger people in the second wave.

I don't know what's going to happen with COVID. I can't tell you. I'm bored. And it's frustrating. I mean, we're lucky enough to have a house and a backyard and some open space. But I can't imagine. These people are going to get restless. New York City is going to be a nightmare. Well, it kind of already is.

It's kind of a time bomb. Yeah. So these stories I'm seeing, like in South Jersey, they arrested a bunch of people for walking around outside. Seriously? Yeah. A couple people were seen leaving a house. Someone called the cops on them. The cops rolled up and said, you guys need to go home and then apparently one of them said f you i don't need to do anything so the cops were like you're under arrest yeah yep like why

though why would they they said like obstructing government something no i mean yeah okay why that why would they arrest them but why would you just say that to the cop who's just doing his job? It's America. It just feels a little... First Amendment? Yeah, sure. Can't get arrested for it, but apparently they'll make it up. Yeah.

Is that not common knowledge now? It's like... Well, what do you do? Do you just bend the knee and just say, yes, I'm sorry, my liege? Or do you... I mean... I go after stuff. I can do whatever I want.

Sure. I don't know. I mean... I go after stuff. I can do whatever I want. Sure. I don't know. I mean, I went for a walk today. If someone came to me and was like, go back home. You're not allowed out. I'd be like... I would say, okay. My home's that way, even though it's that way.

And I'd go around... Finish my walk. Yeah. Like, how are they going to know? You know? It's like... Well, like, what if the cops pulled up? And they were like, hey, turn around and go home right now.

Okay. Okay. You turn around, go home right now. OK, OK. You turn around. Yeah, whatever. I can still turn the block and keep walking a different direction. What if they're following you? OK, if they're following me, I'd be a little creeped out. But then I'd walk home probably.

This stuff happens all the time in Chicago. Sure. I'd probably walk home. And I've had cops follow me to my house and they wait and say, go inside. Because Chicago has curfew for people under 18. Interesting. So if you're lucky, that's what they do. If you're unlucky, they pick you up.

And then they bring you, you know, if they can't get to your house, then they, I don't know exactly what they do in Chicago. Because every time, it's happened to me one time, they bring me home and then someone has to sign for you for breaking curfew. Yeah, if you're a minor in Chicago, there's curfew. That's ridiculous. Yeah, I agree. That's pretty crazy. But I mean, I would go out and skate in the middle of the night.

But like, what do you do? I mean, I was a teenager, so it's like whatever. But today, I don't have to explain myself to anybody. If I'm going to the grocery store, I'm going to the grocery store. It's none of your business. Bug off. And then what, they're going to arrest you? That's apparently what they did.

Someone mouthed off, so they arrested him. Yeah, I mean, look, it's stupid of your business. Bug off. And then what, they're going to arrest you? That's apparently what they did. Someone mouthed off, so they arrested them. Yeah, I mean, look, it's stupid to mouth off to people. At the same time, that's not illegal. You're right. I agree with you. Yeah, dude, we're in it, man. The Nightmare-topia is so boring. That's what's frustrating. Can't we at least have some

kind of law of resistance, like a real one, not like these weird, scrawny, low-T college kids who think they're fighting Nazis, like an actual... You want some action? Go to New York. It's not even... And you get to New York and there's just nothing there.

The streets are empty. It's the romantic... romanticizing of the apocalypse. It just doesn't exist. There is no fun adventure yeah it's either boring or it's stressful that's that's i think people think that they're going to be like on a roller coaster yeah i think the only thing that would cause this kind of um post-apocalypse we usually think of is something like someone attacking us on our shores which

we've already established is not going to happen i don't know know. I don't think so. You don't think so? Having actually been in places where there are explosions and people shooting at each other, there is this feeling you get watching these action movies where you see like the hero do a backflip, you know, and like land perfectly and then do like roundhouse kick the bad guy who then falls into the meat grinder. It just doesn't exist. Yeah. That feeling you get watching these movies doesn't exist.

Yeah. The excitement of watching the these movies doesn't exist. Yeah. The excitement of watching the guy, you know, draw the bow and fire at the zombie's head and his head explodes. In slow motion. Yeah. It doesn't exist. I'll tell you what you really get. You get anxiety and panic attacks.

Right. You're standing there and then all of a sudden you're shaking and you're like about to throw up because your stomach's clenching because there's people screaming and stabbing each other. And you haven't eaten in a while. Right. There's some people. It's not going to be people landing on our shores it's going to be other citizens it's just other people that are hungry that want your food well no no like in the event let's say like someone did land on our shores like an invading force okay all

these people who are like man it'd be so cool like you know like red dawn or whatever they they would they would it would be five minutes until their buddy's head got blown off where they'd be sobbing in the corner, crying, begging for how the world used to be. Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't it doesn't exist. But but there are adrenaline junkies. And there's a reason why, you know, I skateboard and why I was, you know, interested in doing conflict journalism. It doesn't faze me the way it phases like ninety nine point nine percent of people. And I'll tell you what, man. Yep. It's really, really funny when I did this, this, uh, they call it heat training, hostile environment action or something.

I don't know what it's called, but it's called like a heat course. Okay. And some of the people that were there, like one was like a weather guy there. Now there's a reason why a weather guy will be at the hostile environment training course because hurricanes, it wasn't just about yeah that makes sense you know getting kidnapped because they have to go stand on the beach while it's behind them and they're i'm here reporting i was really it's like the lowest tier yeah and i swear this guy was so arrogant yeah oh the news reporter he's a weather guy surprising and i'm sitting

there like listen to this guy talk and he's like there's a bunch of women we're like sitting at a table it was like lunch he's so guy talk, and he's like, there's a bunch of women. We're like sitting at a table. It was like lunch. He's so tough, I bet. And he's like, listen, here's what you got to do. You know, like when you're dealing with this stuff, and I'm just like, tell me, Weatherman. Tell me more about how you respond to when the terrorists are kidnapping you. Willy Wonka. And then I was like, I shook my head, and I was just like, I started talking about what actually happens.

And he's like, you think you know how this stuff goes on? And I was like, dude, I was like was like first of all everybody has a different reaction you don't know you've never been in situations and you have i was like yes i wish actually i have me too i swear there was a really funny thing that happened with this training they put us in this scenario where we are driving in suvs to go meet with you, like a terror leader or something. It's all, it's all, you know, fictional. Okay. And then the cars get stopped at a fake checkpoint and the guys have a bunch of random weapons and they start yelling. And then our driver, who is, he's part of the training, he's supposed to be a local, a fixer. It's the local who tells

you, he says, Oh, it's a government checkpoint. They want everyone to get out of the vehicles. And so, okay, we all get out. They make us all land our stomachs. All of the women get brought to a, to a shed where we then hear all the women screaming and the guy and the guys with the guns are all laughing saying like, there are women now and stuff like that. And then they start going around saying, give us all your valuables. And so then I, uh, they, they went up and the guy was like, give me your wallet. And I said, here you go. And they took to walk away. And I was like, oh, sir, you forgot my watch. And he was like, oh, yeah, I did forget your watch.

And he takes my watch. The funny thing about it was the watch was a GPS tracker. So after it was over, we went back to the main area. And the guy, someone asked. So the trainer guy was like, sometimes these things happen. You know, you'll get stopped. You'll notice that all the guys had different weapons, which means they're likely not government because they don't have standard issue. These are things you got to pay attention to. But if you're being stopped by a group of armed individuals and not much you can do. And someone said, what about the

women who are kidnapped and clearly being abused? And he just goes, they're gone. You know, sometimes there's nothing you can do about it. And I, and afterwards, one of the guys was there and I said, I'm just gonna let you go. You guys were wrong about that. And he was like, Oh yeah, what do you mean? And I said, well, remember when I said my watch is like, yeah, I'm like, that watch is a GPS tracker. As soon as, as soon as you let us go, I called the state department, told them how to find it. And he went, really? And I was like, this was back when smartwatches weren't a thing. Oh, okay. So it was a 4G watch that looked like a regular watch.

Got him. Got him. Boom. And so I told him, I was like, listen, man, I was like, in the stuff that I've done with my buddies who actually work in InfoSec and actual OpSec stuff, we've gone through contingencies for how to deal with legit top tier full tech warfare to the best of our civilian understanding. One of the things was like, they actually said to charge your GPS and bring it with you. And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Marie Colvin

was a conflict journalist. And what we understand is that the Assad regime was tracking her sat phone, found out where she was, and then started shelling the building. Oh, geez. So you don't want to have an active GPS signal they can track and figure out where you are. Right. A satellite link. Okay. So what we did was when my buddy went, we gave him a two-way satellite communicator to make sure he had one.

You know why? You leave it off, and then once you're compromised, you turn it on and throw it down a hill and run the other direction. You buy yourself some time. They know where you are already. Then they'll chase after the dummy signal. Oh, okay. So this is the kind of stuff they don't teach you, but, you know, I'm interested. Anyway, I digress.

That was a fun story. I love that. I love it. Someone just went, Tim Pool's the Jason Bourne on budget. On budget. That was a good comment. Not even. I would never consider myself to be an expert within reason.

But what I would always tell people, like when this guy's mouthing off about how he's like, here's what you got to do. I'm like, listen, anybody who tells you they can guarantee you security and safety is lying to you. Anybody who's going to tell you here's definitively what you do is lying to you. And I said, we were talking specifically about what to do in the event of a kidnapping. And I said, so we did this mock scenario where we were going to interview. It's all basically the same thing. You're going to interview this leader. We pulled to the building and I'm on a hair trigger already because I know the game. And so they say, okay, everybody get out of the cars. We're going inside. And then the guy in front of me was just out of the Marines.

So he was getting a job in security for like a security contractor. This guy's a Marine. And all of a sudden we hear someone yell and we pop our doors and just both run full speed, slightly zigzagging down through dead ground. Nice. We knew what we were doing. Yeah. And then all of a sudden we get like 100 yards out.

We duck behind some trees and we hear, you guys are dead. You're dead. Come back. And we looked at each other and started laughing. No, we're not. We got out. We're literally not dead. And so we walked back and one of the training guys was like, you guys died.

And we were laughing. We're like, OK, sure. Like, no, we hit dead ground. So dead ground is when the people you can't shoot. So like a hillside. OK. Once you clear a certain amount of space, someone standing up on the hill can't shoot through the hill.

They have to run to the edge and then try and shoot down. So we went straight for dead ground and then we were gone. But they told us to come back and he goes, well, if you want to do the training exercise, we'll pretend like you're not dead. And we're like, all right, fine, whatever. And so then they literally told us, do whatever you can to do whatever you want to do. You're being kidnapped, do whatever you want, get out of it, figure it out. And I'm like, you got it, buddy. And so, uh, I passed out and fake threw up and they started freaking out and canceled the event. They were like, all right, everybody stops like buddy, buddy, are you all right? And I was like, yeah, I'm totally up. And they started freaking out and canceled the event. They were like, all right, everybody stops.

Like, buddy, buddy, are you all right? And I was like, yeah, I'm totally fine. And they're like, what? And I was like, I was faking being sick. And they went, oh, why? And I was like, to make it a burden on the kidnappers to decide whether to take me or leave me. And they were like, oh, okay, stand back up. Get back in line.

And I'm like. So you fooled them twice. The first time they're like, man, we shouldn't have at least, we could have told them to do whatever they want and that before they did what they did, and then we would have told them they were dead. Right.

So you fooled them twice. This is what precipitated the guy who's talking about him knowing what he was doing. And then I was explaining why I ran in the first place and why I feigned being sick. And I said, I can't tell you this would work because you don't necessarily know the mentality of the people who are trying to kidnap you. Yeah, that's a good point. But I can tell you my logic.

The first is, if they're going to kidnap you, now as an American, you're actually likely to get rescued. The American government does not negotiate and they do not pay ransoms. So in many circumstances, kidnappers will avoid Americans at all costs. Interesting. A lot of these poor guys in these countries, when they kidnap somebody, they're thinking about, can we get cash quick? What happens if you kidnap someone who's Spanish or German? Those governments pay out right away. Boom. Really? Is that true? Yep. And because of this, they're sought after. Interesting.

If you're an American, do you know what Americans deliver when you kidnap an American? Payloads? A helicopter commando raid kicking your door in and killing you and your family. So it's not all the time, but the American government's dead serious about, we're not going to pay and we're going to F you up. Yeah. So that's the goal. The goal is to deter. And so that's actually what they advise.

They advise to capitulate, do whatever your captors want, because in all likelihood, the American government's going to come in guns a-blazing. Just be like, just tell them you're American. But I'm American. But there's also next. However, yeah, at this time, we're talking about the expansion of some certain factions in the Middle East that glorify the execution of journalists on purpose. Yeah, that's true. And so, you know, what I was basically saying to people is like, listen, live on your feet, die on your knees. I can run. And if these guys are using long guns, they can be extremely accurate with low training. And hey, man, maybe maybe they'll waste the bullet on you. Maybe they'll say it's not worth it. We've already got 15 other people. Let them go. Then when they brought me back and I pretended being sick,

people were like, yeah, but then they'll just kill you. I'm like, why? Maybe. What do you think they're thinking? Are they thinking this person's having a panic attack? They're sick. I don't want to deal with it. I don't want to get sick either. Or carry them. I don't want to carry them. I don't want to get sick. I don't want to deal with it. Maybe they'll kill you. Maybe they won't. Maybe they'll kill you regardless. Not everyone has a Lydia to carry your burdens. Right. So I said, listen, no one's going to tell you. In fact, the people training specifically said, you can't predict these things, but we can we can maximize your opportunity by giving you preparing you to the best of our abilities. And so I said, my instinct would always be run, run, don't give in, don't bow.

If they catch you, they catch you, but run. And if you have to passively resist, do so in a proper way. You don't antagonize them. You just become a burden that they don't want to deal with. Yeah, it's not perfect. Many people who have survived have just done whatever they're told and just waited out for a couple of years. That's if that may that may work. And that's what a lot of people have done. It's hard to know. We've also seen people get their heads chopped off. So you've got to decide based on the current circumstances. If it was a 1% chance they're going to film you being lit on fire.

1% chance. 1% chance. That's the saying. It's like if it was a 1% chance something could happen, would you take the odds? So for me, I'm kind of like, I'd rather run. I'd rather run than put a bullet in my back. At least I know I tried. I'm not going to bend the knee to anybody. And if they catch me, you know what? Then I lost. But when they made me feign being sick, I'm like, at least at this point, I can be annoying passively. You don't want the person to get mad at you thinking you're

doing it on purpose. But it's reasonable to think that if someone got kidnapped, they'd be panicking, shaking, and getting sick. And then you'd be like, I don't want to deal with this. You know what I mean? Yeah. Now, if they're trying to get a ransom from you, it might be worth the vomit. They might be like, I'm going for a million bucks, dude. You can barf all you want. I'll take you.

But at least you tried something, I guess. Yeah. I don't know how we got into this. How did we get into this topic? I was thinking that. What? Wait a minute. We went on a weird turn.

We're talking about patients getting tested again and getting we're talking about macho meteorologists who thought he was uh yeah we were talking about the end of the world you're like i got a good story for this yeah we were talking about how people think they're they're they're basically super tough and like right they know what's going to happen they know what they're going to do nah nah man half i would say 99 of people like as soon as the you know someone landed on the shores and a u-boat and a bunch of like foreign russians and chinese or whatever heard some on the beach they'd be squealing like pigs and running full speed in the other direction it wouldn't be people it'd be robots oh yeah i don't know right no i don't know if there's going to be something that storms our shore like in the future

like it's not going to happen right now but it'd be if if it was in the future it wouldn't be people it'd be robots how far in the future who knows man well we've seen boston dynamics that's what they're trying to work on like the military studying gamers minds it's that play starcraft to see how they work and what works and what is the best way and maybe turning're turning it into AI. I'm serious. Maybe in 50 years, we will have mass-produced robots like the Boston Dynamics robots. Yeah. Right now, I would actually say that not the two-legged one, which is really good. Yeah.

But you've seen the four, like the horse one. Yeah, the dog. Yeah, you could mount guns on that, unleash those things. Yeah, exactly. And they'd be brutal. And you know what? We know what Boston Dynamics has done. So you can only imagine what we don't know that the Army has done.

Yeah, dude. It's like, come on. For all you know, there's some people you've met who are actually robots. They're studying gamers' brains right now to make the AI for the dog set they've got, dude. It's a thing. But if that's true, then I think we're dealing with cyber war in the future. I don't think it's even going to be. So let me ask you, what is the point of war?

To take over someone else's property, basically. Resources. Yeah, for their resources. It could be ideological. All right. But we're at an age now where you can win a war without even lifting a finger. You can just convince someone. Well, you'd have you can win a war without even lifting a finger. Yeah. You can just convince someone.

Well, you'd have to pick up the phone or maybe hit a button. All right. You don't got to pick up a weapon. Yeah. Good point. The pen is mightier than the sword. So I was thinking about this. What we're seeing with all this election meddling stuff and fake social media and sock puppets,

it's more effective to manipulate the public into try into believing you than it is to actually go and force them to do anything yeah like it's actually interesting i don't know if you've played the new civilization no i haven't so uh in there's there's a couple ways you can take over cities and one of them is through cultural pressure basically if your civilization has like massive cultural output eventually you'll put your boundaries will be pushing on another city who will then basically revolt and join you yeah okay so if you successfully convince an entire population that you're better and they should live the way you want to live they're going to want to be like you as much as they can and then

you can take away the power of that government through cultural export i mean i i see parallels with what's going on china China right now because they're trying to convince their citizens that the U.S. dropped it in Wuhan, and that's what happened. And then there's videos of Chinese citizens probably risking death to send it out. Like, we don't trust the CCP either. We're not happy here. We can't stand what's going on. We know it came from here

take a look at this i i've had a bunch of we had a bunch of people messaging in the chat saying that there was some some pro china youtuber making videos about me right yeah i don't want to say the guy's name i don't know who he is i don't know about him i don't have any issue with him personally but he's pro china right it makes sense i'm makes sense. I'm pro-America, not pro-China. I view China as adversarial to the United States and I view them as doing really horrible things. I'm sure there are people over there that view America the same way, like they want China to win. Yeah, that's true. So then you get a pro-Chinese YouTuber who makes videos saying, you know, I'm a conspiracy theorist and I believe crazy things and I think the U.S. is coming for me.

Clearly an attempt to manipulate and discredit me because I put out a story where I, one of the things he said was, I read an article where it said US intelligence agencies leak show that China's been lying about the COVID numbers. I read that story. I believed that story. And so he said I was a conspiracy theorist because his view is that US media is lying and I shouldn't believe it. And he's pro-China and his viewers are all Chinese. That's the game right now. I'm a useful idiot, I guess, for the United States because I like America, because I want America to win. So the content I make will be very much pro-America.

And that's bad for America's enemies. So they'll counter it with their own propaganda. But propaganda at this point is way more powerful. It's actually, it's almost inverted. If a soldier, like think about false flags, right? Do you guys know about the Operation Northwoods? This was back in, I think it was the 60s, where, man, I'm going to mess this up. I know a lot of people who are listening probably know what I'm talking about. A guy named like L. Lemnitzer or L. L. Lemnitzer or something proposed dressing up people like Cuban soldiers and then attacking Florida to so that people would hate Cuba. It's called a false flag. And then apparently the whole thing was scrapped. Like,

no way we're not going to do this. Yeah. OK. So if a Chinese soldier was seen on camera violating the rights of somebody, that's a negative, you know, that's negative propaganda for them. It's bad. People will say, I don't want to have anything to do with that. Right. If they put out videos where they're like helping children drink water and like saving lives and like building bridges, that's good. So if they actually engaged in war and we filmed a boat crashing on the shores and a bunch of soldiers coming out and, you know, gunning down civilians, it would be a major negative event around the world because of the spread of information. It used to be that war was quiet and no one really knew what was going on. And because no one knew, the US would be like,

our heroic soldiers stopped the evil and everyone would believe it. Now we have the events filmed. It was, I think in 2014 was the first time we had GoPro footage from both sides of a conflict. There was a camera mounted on a tank and a camera mounted on a few rival infantrymen and they filmed both sides and uploaded it. And the news organization found both and put them together. Like you can watch both sides of the conflict now because of the spread of information, you can't get away with these atrocities. Nope. Like, there's no way,

you know, the U.S. nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There's no way that could happen this time. The whole world would watch in horror and disgust. Agreed. But it took a while for people to find out what had happened. At least, I want, I really want to believe that.

Theoretically, someone could launch an ICBM and no one would claim responsibility for it yeah but then we would be like the u.s would be like we know it came from here and then everyone on the world would probably know yeah i feel like propaganda almost is losing its its edge though because people aren't going for you know the classic news sources you know they're they're going to to YouTube, they're, they're finding the people like you, for example, that are like, I'm just reading everything and giving you my, you know, view on it. And it's not necessarily this is not necessarily this,

but this is what I've found. You know, this is the truth that I've found. And people are taking, taking everything more with a grain of salt, because it's too obvious that everyone's skewing everything to try to push their biased opinion. Yeah, but in terms of – that's very much like American politics. Okay. I am thinking very in America. That's a good point. Yeah. Yeah. If the Democrats, you've got like progressive YouTubers will be like, oh, harumph these conservatives. And then you'll have conservative, oh, harumph these liberals.

And then you'll have moderates like, oh, harumph whoever. And that's very internal. But I don't, there's no progressive or lefty or Sanders supporter or even social justice activist who has said anything negative to me, as far as I can tell, over my criticisms of China. They don't care. They're focused on internal issues. The person who came out and was mad at me, you know, calling me all these names was a pro-China YouTuber, apparently like a big personality in China for obvious reasons. Yeah, makes sense. So the real issue is we do have internal political

conflict, but I definitely think our foreign adversaries exploit that and try to make us fight each other more so we can't be focused on fighting them. But now that we have this pandemic, it's been pretty bad because everyone's kind of leaning more towards China bad for a lot of reasons. Yeah. You know, still the media hates Trump so much. And this is really dangerous for us. I think, you know, I really love about all of the like the super anti-government conspiracy theorist people is that the government can't even get control over all of this. It's like you really think the government, you know, in all of its different functions and forms and divisions is in control enough. If if that was the case then they would they

would get rid of all of the anti-america sentiment which is rampant and insane yeah and they're like oh it's russia they're smearing us and they're doing all these things and it's like you can't even stop a few 13 hackers in russia who spent a few thousand dollars and then not everyone's complaining about it they're not they're not the u U S government has got power in a lot of ways, but they are not some all powerful Illuminati entity twirling their mustaches. I'm sure there's a lot of things they do that would surprise you. And you'd be like, wow, I can't believe they do that. But when you've got, you know, I've got adversarial conflict right now, but the way it is with like China, you'd think the U S government would be be like we need propaganda that's pro-america and people who are disruptive to america should be

stopped i don't think they don't do anything like that i still can't believe that the media hasn't like spread the the whole china was bringing in these these uh diseases for the past five years it's like it's in the department of justice report right how't that the number one story? It's in a Department of Justice report. It's like, how is the media not reporting on that, spreading that? Like, telling, not spreading it because it feels like spreading lies, but, like, that's actually a report from the Department of Justice. Like, I don't understand. You know what ABC News did?

What? They ran a story claiming that sources say that back in November they reported to, you know, White House officials that there was this outbreak coming. And then the, what is it, the National Center for Medical Intelligence, I think it's called, said no such report exists. ABC ran with the story anyway, because sources say, I don't know who the sources are, why you'd believe them, and you didn't publish any documents, so why should I believe you when the actual people there said that's not true? And China was lying about this in January and only found out in December. Why should I believe that your

unnamed sources know better than the actual official speaking out? Why should I trust the random nobodies? That's what the media has been doing. Good point. It's really bad for America. Unless there's something I don't understand and there's a grand conspiracy fine sure whatever but right now you've got a media that is damaging the credibility of the u.s government yeah that is spreading lies that hurt the ability of the u.s government to respond to things why you know what we got serious problems you know in terms of international conflict, especially in the South China Sea. I agree. And unfortunately, we there is no I mean, I'm saying this is a joke. There's no grand, you know, all American military militaristic conspiracy to control everything.

It's just it would be so much more efficient for the U.S. to go after its adversaries if that if that was a real thing. Yeah. Even when it comes to like Hillary Clinton and the Qatar-Turkey pipeline and all that nonsense with Ukraine that was going on, they didn't even do a great job of it. It's not even... It's just agendas and people and these things change in government.

If we had a more efficient authoritarian government, we'd have a much easier time of going up against China like they do against us. Or containing the coronavirus, if we should believe them, by welding people's doors shut and leaving them to die in their houses. Yeah. Yeah, we can't do that here.

So you know what? If we were unified as a country, and it feels like we are, we are unifying. No. Well. I think so. I think at the end of this, we're going to be much more together than we were before. Yeah, possibly. And I think we'll be a lot better about ignoring the media

because we'll have watched them lie to us straight, left, right, and center. I think come November. I'm willing to say it right now. I'll make a bet. I could be absolutely wrong about this. Write this down. Because it's very early.

But I feel like based on everything that's happened so far, come November, especially with Joe Biden, we very well may see a mass majority of this country rally behind Trump and the administration. His poll ratings will skyrocket. I don't know for sure. I know it feels like it's a strong possibility, at least as far as what I've seen with his polls climbing better than they've ever been.

There are a lot of people who really, really hate the guy. But you've got Bernie Sanders supporters who hate the DNC. You've got Trump supporters who hate the DNC. So already they got a common enemy. Joe Biden is a joke. I don't know what they were thinking. I agree. But with the pandemic, as bad as it is, I mean, you see what Chris Hayes said the other day? No, what did he say? So they came out, Dr. Fauci and Birx revised their numbers down from 240K to 60K. Wow. Or 100, whichever, whichever.

Like the projected numbers? Yeah. Okay. So without social distancing, they were saying like 2 million or more. Right. With social distancing, they were saying 200,000. Now they're saying based on current numbers, it looks like 60. And Chris Hayes says the most cynical, you know, thing I can, I can see, and I really

don't want to believe it or something like that, is that they fluffed the numbers up higher to anchor everyone to that number so that when the numbers were lower, people would think they did a good job. Are you insane? What? Right. It's like, how about the reason the number, like, Dr. Birx is the one who made the number up. Are you accusing Dr. I'm sorry, Dr. Birx and Fauci, are you accusing these doctors of creating fake numbers so they would look good? They're not even elected officials. They're appointed as far as I can tell.

How would that make them look good? It's terrible. Yeah. Terrifying. These people are weirdos. Chris Hayes. All I can think is that's a significantly smaller number. Thank I'm so thankful.

Right. And it's still horrifying that people are going to die. Yeah, It sucks. But 60,000 is way better than 200,000. That's the only thing I can think of. It's like, so wait, we're going to put blame on them because they fluffed the numbers? Like, oh, come on. The main issue is just that there are people who hate the president so much, they will

say these things. But here's what I'm thinking. I don't believe Chris Hayes actually knows or cares. I think he's just trying to say things because that's what he's supposed to say. Here's my tribe. Here's what Trump must be bad. That's the media for you. So what happens if we have a really serious catastrophe like the COVID gets worse or something and then Trump really does do a good job? What's surprising to me is that even after the polls, the majority of polls are coming out in Trump's favor, the response from these people in media is, this can't be real.

I refuse to believe it. Impeach him. Right. Well, Alyssa Milano said he should be impeached for a news that wasn't even real. And that's another thing, too. Like, Snopes fact-checking the New York Times? Yeah. Like, maybe we are unifying.

It's a cold day. Right. It feels like it. It really does feel like it. Yeah. So maybe by November, we might be shocked to see. we are unifying it's a cold day maybe right yeah like it it really does feel like it yeah so maybe by november we might be shocked to see and i could be absolutely wrong about this there's so much that could happen from now and then that's another thing that really annoys me about you know these

activists will like to go back and look at things you said to make it out of context to make it look like you're stupid i know because hindsight is 2020. That's that's what that's what bugs me also. You know, it's like people have to know you're allowed to make mistakes. Humans make mistakes and we learn from them. That's why we've been around as long as we have, because we've learned from our mistakes. Well, it's not even about mistakes either. It's like right now I'm saying, man, I think Trump might have a really high approval rating. And then in a month from from now trump walks out into fifth avenue and shoot somebody yeah you know like that's this famous thing he was like i walk out of fifth avenue and then someone's like well tim said that he's got a really good approval rating he's doing great and look he shot a man it's like right yeah

but that was that was a month no one knew that was gonna happen shot somebody exactly yeah and they're like where are you at now tim you think he's gonna get like he didn't he didn't do that when i said that yet. I said that's why I'm like, based off everything we're seeing now. Yeah. Is he is he perfect? Far from it. But the American people are are generally approving Democrats and independents have a have a higher approval rating of him in his response to the coronavirus. I think depending on how bad this gets and how fast we can pull out of it. I mean, the economy is rebounding people. We the CDC has already said people who are exposed can start getting back to work. We might recover from this and people might say Trump was the leader when it happened

and they might rally behind him. I still think you're going to have a very strong contingent of orange man bad types. But look, man, look what Joe Rogan said. He'd rather have Trump over Biden. I'm inclined to agree. I mean, yeah. Look, people have argued that Trump has dimension, all this stuff. said he'd rather have trump over biden i'm inclined to agree well i mean yeah you know look people have argued that trump has dimension all this stuff and it's like you're only saying that because he talks weird that trump has he says weird things like big league you know or bigly

whatever it is i don't know i mean i make up my own words right i'm serious i do all the time it's fun trump does talk weird yeah you know it's like it's like it's the the adjectives he uses in the ways he describes things it's the best medication it's very big it's great and you're like i understand but that's not dementia that's just him being like an eccentric strange billionaire you know what i mean joe biden says words but don't make sentences and someone posted uh i think it was like a MedRx thing about word salad, that when people are in the early stages of dementia, they start saying words, they're real words,

but they don't make sense in their sentences. Well, that reminds me of a certain somebody running for president right now. Well, yeah. Joe Biden, for those wondering if it wasn't clear enough. There is no honest person who really believes that guy could be president. I am flabbergasted by these Democrats who are like, yeah, Joe Biden. Why? Yeah.

Why? What are his policy positions? Joe doesn't know. Joe doesn't know. He really doesn't. Did you see what Tucker Carlson said the other day? Yeah. No, what did he say?

He said, here's some serious questions that need to be asked could joe could joe biden find his car in a three-tiered parking lot could he navigate a salad bar like no i mean the fact that we're asking these questions is a problem well listen the salad bar thing was silly yeah but the three-tiered parking garage isn't no it's not you're right like you know come on we walk out of the store like oh man where we park and then it takes a quick second like ah there we are yeah joke yeah it's it's like yeah i want to think that it's a joke but the fact that it's actually serious it's like oh come on yeah joe come on joe retire here's here's what's tired man for sure but on twitter and twitter isn't real life the progressives

this is this is this is the crazy thing like i'm looking at mainstream blue checky journalists tweeting don't vote for trump or biden that to me what's the difference no no they're saying don't vote why i mean like you could vote third party for sure and and i i respect people who vote outside of two party because i think voting on principle is the most important thing. I'd rather vote third party even if I thought I was going to lose because I knew I stood on my principles. But telling people not to vote

because you're mad Bernie lost, okay, Trump's going to landslide. For real, man. I don't want to act like literally every American is going to wear a Trump hat and go around singing. I think we're going to see a lot of Democrats and independents being like, yeah, I'll vote for the guy. I don't like him though. And I think we're going to end up

seeing Trump win. It might be like Nixon in his reelection or Reagan when they got like 500 electoral votes. I don't know though. You know, I really hate saying things like this because I, well, actually I hate saying them, but I do love to go back like hindsight that you're right. Yeah. Like my video where I'm like, Republicans are going to sweep the house in 2018. The Democrats are going to lose. And the next day I'm like, well, about that. Well, I was wrong. I was wrong about that one.

Way off. Well, it's good to admit you're wrong. That's why I don't like making predictions. You know, I can't see the future. You know what I mean? Yeah. But we can move on and begin talking about I don't know, what is it? Like how the

coronavirus is bringing out toxic masculinity. Yeah, let's talk about that. Let's talk about that more. Yay. Coronavirus reveals just how deep macho stereotypes run through society. Oh, I love it. And then we have this one from Vox. Why fewer women, why are fewer women dying of the coronavirus? Thank you Vox

for now coming out explaining us explaining to us that biological sex is an important factor particularly in health care and which is a real thing it is a real thing yeah i don't i don't want to pretend like vox is the worst of all these organizations that come out and straight up say there's no such thing as biological sex which like we've we've heard but, you know, because I've done a series of videos critiquing Vox for their very, very pro-intersectional view of gender and sex and all that stuff. But before we do, let's move over to the Super Chats, to everybody who's been patiently waiting for us to read your comments.

What up, everybody? The first thing you got to do is hit that like button, subscribe, hit the notification bell, and follow our social media accounts. We're on Twitter and Instagram and YouTube and all that stuff. Yep. the first thing you got to do is hit that like button subscribe hit the notification bell and follow our social media accounts we're on twitter and instagram and youtube and all that stuff yep and hop in the super chat if you haven't already because now we are going to read comments all right ultimate power says if they bury all the bodies then what will we eat more importantly when the apocalypse comes i know what island i'm not when the zombie apocalypse comes i don't know which island I'm going to avoid.

Heart Island? Yeah. So assuming the zombies can't swim, is that too insensitive? I don't care if my jokes are offensive. I'm not like Ellen. Yeah, but see, we're used to the zombies that are portrayed in the movies. Yeah. Who knows?

Zombies aren't going to be like superhumans. Right. Exactly. Without brains, they will ignore fear, pain. But of stuff pain but they're not gonna they need oxygen okay yeah so it's like are they going to be the infected kind of zombies or like the undead yeah because like the mystical paranormal ones what what movie was it where they like walk on the ocean floor oh that was pirates the caribbean wasn't it no no no that was like 28 weeks later i think is that the second one yeah and they have like manhattan is like or some island is it's not the first one secure but then the zombies go on the water and then or whatever

so if we're talking about infection you know like disease like rabbit or whatever okay they need air no air but if it's supernatural where they're just animate they're the true undead yeah then they can just float and be alive forever yeah but if we like the realistic ones are the scarier ones because the other ones like it's never gonna happen but we'll see professor romandev says mass graves did communism come early well we are awfully close it would seem ryan m put an f in the super chat appreciate it thank you maddie bone says when life gives you lemons make lemonade when life gives you when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Yeah, let's talk about it.

Phil A says, four weeks into socialism and Bernie bailed out. You see, we had the free trial of socialism and Bernie couldn't do it. Yeah, nobody liked it. No. That's funny. S Head says, apparently China has a secret Mars mission that may launch in July. Cue the conspiracy theories. Andrew says, what are you talking about with a plague being unearthed

in the Arctic is actually the plot of a book series called After It Happened. Well, right, yeah, it's the plot of many different articles and fictional stories, like they drill into the ice caps to try and, you know, see what the air was like back then, and they unleash a virus. Yeah.

Didn't I just watch a... Wait, wait, wait, wait. There was some movie I watched where they did this, and the guy turns into a vampire or something. Really? Yeah, yeah, I wasn't, didn't I just watch him, wait, oh, wait, wait, wait. There was some movie I watched where they did this and the guy turns into a vampire or something. Really? Yeah, yeah. I can't remember what movie that was.

I don't know. Oh, no, there was that TV show. You know what I'm talking about? It was on Netflix, I think. Oh. Yeah, they're doing like Arctic research and they unearth like vampirism and then the guy turns into a vampire.

No idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It might have been one of those short Shudder movies. No, no, no, no. It's a series on Netflix, like 13 episodes. It wasn't bad. It was pretty Yeah, yeah. It might have been one of those short Shudder movies. No, no, no, no. It's a series on Netflix, like 13 episodes. It wasn't bad. It was pretty good, actually. I think I saw that one. Cool.

Student of History says, in regards to your first video today, does Wapo think the weird turtle man is Korn the Blood God? Also, 300k plus cases healthy worldwide for some good news. Yeah, Washington Post wrote an article. It was amazing. It said sitting on his throne of skulls, Mitch McConnell confirms

eight thousand nine hundred ninety nine. Judge. What is the whole article was nuts. It was like it was the sky was gray and the buildings had collapsed. A man crawling on all fours reaches up at Mitch McConnell and says, why? Perhaps it was Chuck Grassley. Like, what are you writing? What are they trying to insinuate? I couldn't tell if it was pro-Mitch McConnell or anti-Mitch McConnell. Sounds pretty pro-Mitch McConnell. Yeah, seriously.

Making him look like, yeah, somebody posted a picture of him sitting on a throne with, like, fire in the sky. And it's like, this guy looks like a turtle and sounds like one, too. And you're trying to make him seem like this overlord on a throne of skulls. That's amazing. I don't know what their point was. Supabambam says, Tim, don't pick on the quiet kid in class. Among other sayings.

Hydro says, hey, Tim, Adam, and Lydia, you guys making the homie cozy on this rainy L.A. day. Numbers here aren't so bad and hopefully we keep inside. Stay safe. We'll do. Appreciate it. Thank you. Joseph says, Positive news. I build equipment for airlines. No new orders for a month due to COVID. We just got a bunch of new orders this week. Few million dollar revenue shows confidence in the administration and potential economy upswing. And I would also bet if these companies are starting to put in orders, they probably know something we don't. Yeah, I bet they do. They probably got someone in the administration saying,

heads up, get ready for this time. We're going to be moving forward. So they don't want the public to panic. But privately, they can probably give people a heads up. Brian says, all my friends told me you should watch Tim Pool. You guys would be best friends. Now that I have, I hate them because I can't stop watching. Thanks.

Hey, I appreciate it. Thanks, man. NGO, thanks for becoming a member. Thank you. Mine Milek says, you recently talked about how one could increase your testosterone level. You said the trick was working out. The real key is diet and sleep. Well, there you go.

I wasn't sure. All three things. Or apparently, Frank Thomas tells me there's something called Nugenics. Oh, cool. Have you seen those commercials? Yeah, it's like, there's tons of commercials where he's just like, if you're a man over 50, you got to take this pill. GNC can, proves it.

And now they have one where like a bunch of other like former athletes are like a pro football player and they're all- Wait, wait, let me guess. Shaq? No, I'm just kidding. He's in everything though. Shaq is? No, he's in the general commercials for the that fly by night car he's in a bunch yeah that's the joke i was just making a joke yeah not him though he's not quite old

enough i don't think jean mcleod says uh tom saw you on crowder and think you are the most handsome man must be the japanese in you p.s i am chick. Appreciate it. And that's actually true. I am part Japanese. Oh, I was going to say, oh, you're attractive? Oh, yes. No, no, because I often just say that I'm a quarter Korean, but I'm actually 5% Japanese.

I did not know your name was Tom. Yes. Well, I am also Tom. Tim Tom? Tom Pool. Tom Pool. Gord Funk says, I'm more afraid of some pathogen

being released from the ice melting than the sea level rising and extreme weather. Or a combination of the two because the ice melting will be washed around by the rising ocean. Yep. Some ice chunk will break off and then drift around. I mean, it already happened. Land in New York. It already happened.

Anthrax. Anthrax. We talked about this the other day. It released from the ice. Yeah. The Arctic drilling, they brought up they found an anthrax pocket basically and it started killing a bunch of people and they were like oh wow that was what if that was stuck down there what if that's what the curses were like someone mentioned

the sargophagus what if they like put some kind of like virus or contaminant in it or contained it finally and yeah right and like let's paint black, because no one will ever open it then. You know what bugs me? Cue humans now. I would prefer it if they actually captured the demon blood god in the sarcophagus and released him. Because it's always so boring. It's like, they thought the flu was a demon possessing you. And then they wrote books about all this crazy cool stuff

we never see and we're like, oh man, vampires. And it's like, actually the vampire was a guy who had an iron deficiency and so he looked very gaunt and pale. And it's like, oh. Boring. Yeah, they're in the hospital. We see those people all the time. Yeah. They're not vampires. Now we know everything. Right.

If only we can go back to a time where we don't know anything. Well, I don't want to make this joke. I'm not going to continue. Have you seen or read Watchmen? I haven't read it. I saw the movie though. At the end when Dr. Manhattan says to Ozymandias, he's like, you know, it's the first time in a long time I didn't know what was going to happen. He's like, I want to thank you because I've actually got to experience some not knowing. didn't know what was going to happen he's like i want to thank you because you know you've i've actually got to experience some not knowing yep i guy says ca has been changing the locks on churches

in lodi they shut down a service and changed the lock on the pastor newsom is already is really pushing it yeah that's a violation of the constitution and yet at the same time like i'm reading about all these different countries the epicenter of the reason it's so bad is all these church conventions. In France, it wasn't the Smurf thing. It wasn't the Smurfs. Well, that did play a part in it, but it was this 2,000, 3,000 person church convention that they had. And then in South Korea, I think it's the same thing. And they were shutting these churches down because they people kept going.

And like, even still, you see these pastors are like, I'm blowing the coronavirus away with God's wind. And it's like, that doesn't work. You're going. That's not doing anything. The worst. There's there. There's actually a bunch of some religious websites that are really pissed off about this because because one of the biggest what that they're that they're holding saying that they're gonna blow the well no no no just that they're having

these events right okay because like the bigger thing i'm seeing like on twitter i see this from a lot of religious people saying that they've innovated the best of their abilities yeah to maintain services communion while social distancing to respect our responsibility society and then you get these these these more i don't necessarily want to say they're all crazy but some of them are and they make everybody look bad and then of course you'll end up with many people on the left latching on to that to try and claim that everybody who's religious is is causing the problem right when. When it's like, dude, the Smurf people contributed. Is it as bad as it could be based on some of these more kooky pastors? Yeah.

Maybe not. But when you actually seek out what's really going on with churches, I watched a video, I think it was even from a mainstream news like BuzzFeed or something, where a priest was outside and they kept six feet and you could come up by yourself and receive communion. And it was like a very structured kind of... Drive-thru thing.

Right, exactly. Yeah, it was neat. Okay. Yeah, trying to... Like, listen, we're not crazy. We understand there's a virus. Yeah. But we're going to do, you know,

the services to the best of our abilities. Or webcam it. I don't know. And then it just takes one crazy dude to be like, ain't nobody gonna get me down yeah did you hear about the the easter sunday thing with the militia no the uh the bundys the amman bundy i think his name is okay said that they are going to have easter worship and no one's

going to stop them and they will defend it with physical force if they have to where's that idaho okay idaho's got it decently bad. And it's a tough question. You know, a lot of people, I see a lot of people say, oh, just follow the law if the law is passed and everything like that. It's like, if the government just starts trampling all over the Constitution, do we just say, okay, well, I guess the Constitution's gone? No. Or do we have to defend our rights? It's time for civil disobedience. Yeah.

Yep. It's tough, though, because the biggest challenge is do you trust the government? Right. But if the government comes out. Sorry, you cracked me up. I guess we got your answer. Yeah. No way.

Yeah. If the government comes out and says there's a plague, are you going to be a liar? Or are you going to be like, I better stay inside? I do believe them because as far as I know that's how i know there's well a pandemic not necessarily a plague but right you know it's like we're getting our information from the governments and what happens if in a month from now it's completely gone and cleared up but they keep saying nope nope it's there look at these numbers do you just go okay it's hard to know i don't know because look because we want to be trusting

it's one thing if the government was like we've arbitrarily decided that you all must stay in your houses we'd be like no but when they're like please stay in your houses there's a pandemic and people are dying then you're like okay yeah and just like that we all agree with agree with it good thing final fantasy 7 remakes coming out tonight because i'll be good it's gonna make it just plug in and disappear that That's right. All right. Let's see. Where are we at? Alex says,

bar that removed close to 4k worth of dollars stapled to the inside of as decoration and don't need to get to staff i did see that yeah the money on the wall yeah great that's cool kate bell says never in a million years would i would would uh never in a million years would And don't need to get to staff. I did see that. That's cool. Yeah, the money on the wall. Yeah, crazy. That's cool. Kate Bell says, never in a million years would I have, would, would, never in a million years would have thought I would be trusting and have more faith in a skateboarding kid to comment on news stories in the MSM. To be fair, I am 34 years old. Yeah. And I worked for a bunch of news organizations.

Carry it well. But the skateboarding part, very accurate. Yeah. You know, it's funny though we look at kids like on scooters or rollerblades and you don't see that in your generation you see it in kids and so those are the kids to you when you're older they're still the kids but now they're adults and they're like running businesses you know yeah right the millennials aren't the youngins to blame for things anymore i think well i think that was a family guy joke someone was like mentions millennials and then i think lois goes like i don't know millennials aren't they 40 yes yes

well the oldest almost the elder millennials elder millennials are just well it used to be like 83 84 now it's been pushed back to 80 i guess there's different scales i don't know some like it depends on what you Google. I liked when it was 83, 84 because that means I'm like the eldest millennial. But I mean, generations don't even necessarily make sense because it's not like everyone's born the same year. I know, right? Yeah. So then they're talking about like Xennials, Exials.

They're people who were born like 81, 82. They're almost Gen Xers. Well, like the baby boomers was like a long span and that makes sense yeah now we're just like so obsessed with naming everything that we're like coming up with all the different things for whatever it's like you know what in 30 years no one's gonna remember all of these crazy names are coming up with right it's good they're gonna come up with something for this generation, probably the crazy generation. Man, people were crazy back then.

four four per day okay that's no no no no my numbers my numbers are way wrong oh i think what i was actually looking at it was like um for every two deaths there was one birth okay so it's like they're definitely population was definitely going down wow yeah but i could be wrong we may read that wrong i heard i heard that that's kind of like a general thing around the globe yeah well only in prosperous countries rich countries where people are perpetual children. Yeah. Where women are given an option. They don't have to. It's true. Yeah?

Yeah. What about Sweden? They're on the decline. Child deaths are probably much more prevalent in those third world countries, too. So they'll have like eight or ten kids. Right. And only two or four. Still more than one. Well, then you know what?

Maybe we'll never make it to Mars. Yeah, who knows? Student of History says, Timbo Slice, the international man of mystery. You know it.

And then I said, man, wouldn't it be amazing if they remade it? I didn't even, I mean, I played the rest of them actually. I really like Final Fantasy.

They did remake it? This game. You're close. They listened. Only about two hours and 43 minutes. I can't wait. Oh, I can't wait. Damien Maddox says, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

I do it because i can't stand these people drives me crazy oh man i i'm i want to say something but i can't say it but i will just say this i have received messages from some of these mainstream journalists oh really oh and they're such cry babies such cry babies i know who you're

thinking of because i i i know most of them and they always try to justify their their ridiculous positions after they hear what you how you rip them apart right then they're like well wait i gotta explain myself i think i think it's because they feel like embarrassed they should you know thank you yeah they should like so look i used to work for these companies you know in new york i know a lot of these people and some of the stuff they write they know is total bs yeah but they know it'll get the clicks. And then when I make videos and I'm like, look at this, I'll like, I'll get a message where it's like, look, you know, I'm just saying, you know, I think, and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Whatever you say right now, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You're full of it. You know,

you're full of it and you're trying to justify your position. You're trying to like squeeze in some excuse so you can sleep well at night because you know, you're full of it. You know, you're full of it. And you're trying to justify your position. You're trying to like squeeze in some excuse so you can sleep well at night because you know, you're not a journalist anymore. I feel bad. Some of these people got into this thinking like, I really want to go down there and report on like real issues of police brutality and, you know, civil rights and liberties and free speech. And now they're in their, you know, New York office writing about Brad Pitt's junk and like the social justice implication of the white male gaze and then i'm like that's not real and they're like well you know you gotta understand i'm like no i don't gotta understand anything dude you used to write

about protests and civil liberties and freedom and now you write about stupid ideological dogma yeah and they get all mad like oh you're you're you know you're not even a journalist anymore and i'm like i don't care i didn't say say I was. You wear a beanie all the time. It's like, great. You're the one who started this conversation. No, but typically the stuff they send me is like, it's not even an argument. It's just emotional venting where they're like,

it's like, oh, you think you're so big that you're going to talk about what I'm doing. Fine, whatever. It's stuff like that. And I'm like, well, I talk about what everyone's doing. So you're so big that you're gonna you're gonna talk about what i'm doing to find whatever it's stuff like that and i'm like well i talk about what everyone's doing so i've reached out special i've reached out to like uh you know some of these top like i'll just say like i've reached out to ben smith formerly of buzzfeed when buzzfeed's written fake news and they won't correct it they don't care they know and they're like well good enough for us i know but it gets good hits so we're just gonna leave, listen, it's like I said the other day. You write fake news, you get a million views. The next day you correct it, you get 30,000 views. Either way, you already made the money.

Yep. So it's probably factored into their business model. I wouldn't be surprised if these editor-in-chiefs or the people running the business are actually projecting out like, we've allotted for two fake news stories with a correction every month. Can you pull it off? Think about it. Like you've seen all the prank videos on YouTube, right? Have you seen those videos? The pranks? Yeah. I've, I had a friend who was adamant. There was a video maybe watch where a guy went around saying, Hey, my neighbor, two people really fast. Hey, my neighbor. And he he would walk he would go into a black neighborhood and go what's up my neighbor and then the people would be like yo what did you

say to me and they'd be like what what's your problem and then you get into a fight and he would be like my friends showing me this like dude you got to see what these people are doing and i'm like bro that's all fake yeah and he was like no way dude it's real and i was like are you kidding me man look i grew up in in a mixed area on the south side of chicago do you know what would happen if you are someone walked up to somebody on the street and was like, you know, what up, my neighbor? They'd go like this. And they'd keep walking.

You could literally call them a slur. And you know what they would do? They'd be like, what? And they'd walk away. They wouldn't just get in your face and start swinging at you. These are all fake. There's a slim percentage that probably would. But that's not. Yeah, it's all fake.

It's fake. It's not normal. Yeah. Turns out now we know they're fake because new policy updates say if you don't label this. So like if you put up a prank video and it shows people getting hurt, then it'll get removed from most platforms. So now you'll see prank people putting disclaimers in saying like these are all performers. It's all fake, which really ruins what the video is supposed to be everything yeah good so here's what i tell people do you think that these news organizations don't know if they write fake news they'll get

clicks they all know it they know it and they know there's a certain boundary they can push upon to where they'll still be considered credible because sometimes you know we make mistakes yeah so i i would not be surprised if you go to one of these offices and they're like, where are we on views? So here's how it works. They'll sell a certain amount of views. So without calling out anyone individually, they'll like tell a company, we will guarantee you 500,000 views for X amount of dollars.

And it takes as long as they need to get those views. So it might be a day with one article getting half a million views. It might be a month because you're only getting a few thousand per article, but they guarantee you the views over however long period, whatever period of time. Near the end of the month, they might be saying, we won't be able to renew this contract because we haven't completed the view delivery. What can we do? Boom, fake news. Can you write a story about Hillary Clinton running in 2020? Yes. Okay, boom. There's our million views. We're good to go. Now, can you put out an apology and retract it? Yep. Sources say, look, man, the people who run the businesses don't care about ethics. They care about getting their

deliverables to their clients. So I'm not saying I've personally witnessed this kind of thing. I'm just saying, consider it when you're talking about money. Journalists might have scruples. The business people are like, look, I'm just trying to sell eyeballs, man. So write the story, say Clinton's running, we'll apologize tomorrow, we'll get a million hits. Obviously, no one's ever written that she is running, but you can see it in some of the stories they do. I did make a joke that by once once biden said that uh actually before biden announced that he was gonna pick a girl as his running mate i always said like man he's gonna pick hillary and croak i don't think he'll pick hillary no no i mean i think it's just funny yeah i do think he will

i'm not trying to be mean i know whether he picks hillary or not whoever it is listen i mean this sincerely and i do not mean this it's the job that's killing him i don't think he's doing anything i think he's sleeping all day really and they they went they got a few minutes per day before the makeup powders face real quick yeah get out there go say something i i wouldn't be surprised if if biden's got a good 20 minutes per day yeah you know of awake time of of like alertness of lucidity and so they do all the work for him get him ready prop him up put the sunglasses on and put the marionette strings on his arms like because it's too late it's too late to rally some anyone else against bernie it's kind of like they did it on purpose and i don't know why like we were reading the story earlier where all of these different Democratic people running like Buttigieg

and Klobuchar outraised Joe Biden. So Joe Biden wasn't even raising money, yet they still propped him up to win. Yeah, they did. Bernie Sanders raised one hundred million dollars more than Joe Biden. Look, I don't care if you like or dislike Bernie Sanders. He was the choice. Yeah, he was. As far as anyone who's active in politics on the Democrat side was concerned, I think it's fair to say maybe there's just a bunch of Biden supporters are passive and not paying attention.

I have no idea. I don't know. But it does not seem to make sense that Joe Biden had no grassroots support, but he still got it. All right, let's read some more of these super chats. Juan Machado says, does that globe

in globe a nine dash on the South China Sea? Does it have a dash? It doesn't. I'm looking at it right now and it doesn't. No, it was not made in China.

Justin Wright says, the freight situation is not so clear. Hard to find loads in the 500 mile range. My company can find work moving out of Wisconsin much harder to get back.

Interesting. All right, there's a jump. to get back. Interesting. Alright. There we go. Oh, nice. Not Heisenbear says, I followed Lydia on Twitter, and now I have to replace my mental image of the disembodied voice. Thanks, everyone. You're welcome. Because you can see her face. It's crazy. Socialism is for figs

says, our ancestors had to fight a massive war to save the world. We just have to sit at home and play games. Really, really hard times. I drive a semi and still have a PS4 in the rig. That's cool. Nice. I tweeted about that. A ton of people started attacking me. Like, how dare you? You have no idea.

And I was like, listen, I know people lost their jobs. I know they can't pay rent. Yeah. You want to compare getting shot on the beaches of Normandy to not being able to pay your rent? You're free to do so. Yeah. I don't care. Yeah.

Bongo, thanks for the super chat. Vipera says, I was born in 82 and growing up I was told I was Gen X by adults. Then last year I was told I was a millennial. Also, the shifting of the Gen Dates left my mother and sister one year from being the same generation. Wow. Kyle Miller says, soy Jesus. How about you live stream Final Fantasy VII tomorrow? Would be fun to watch. Also, if you dye your hair white, I will call you Sephiroth. Soy Sephiroth, sorry. Soy Sephiroth. Wow, so many levels here. First off, amazing. I love Sephiroth.

He's a really amazing character. And I think what I'm going to do is play the game myself because I have been looking forward to this game for a very long time and I want to just soak it up. So I going to do one playthrough just myself just playing it and then I'm going to actually do a live stream of the game again and uh I don't see myself dying my hair white but man would I love to cosplay Seth Roth man he is you could do it sweet Jessica says the overflowing hospitals you see on the news are cherry-picked. We have thousands of cases in upstate New York, and the hospitals are not even close to capacity.

Actual nurses here say it's fake news. They're definitely, well, it's hard to, I don't know if I would say cherry-picked, but they're highlighting for sure the hospitals that are being overrun. Yeah, there's a tendency to the dramatic, definitely. Right. And upstate New York is not the epicenter of what's happening. You know, it's like, how far upstate is it? You know, upstate New York is a lot of space. I think it's important and fair to point out not every hospital is overrun.

Yeah. I also think it's very important to point out New York has begun digging mass graves for the dead in New York City. So New York City is insanely dense. They haven't begun. They've always done it. No, I mean for the COVID deaths. Right, but if they've been doing mass graves,

he even said it's like, we've been doing this. Half of them might not be COVID deaths. They just are continuing on. Well, now they have substantially more dead in New York City. So they're hiring contractors instead of prison labor.

So look, you get it. Whatever. The point is made. All right. What do you got? Soy for off. Soy for off. Bongo says, you guys would have a blast here in Puerto Rico.

Keep up the great work. By the way, what do you think of the political situation here in Puerto Rico? I honestly don't know a whole lot about it. I have been to Puerto Rico, and it is awesome. The people there are incredible. I have some Puerto Rican friends in New York. In Brooklyn, there's a pretty solid Puerto Rican area. I lived right in the middle of it.

Do they do mungu in Puerto Rico? They're awesome. I don't know what mungu is. The mashed plantains. I didn't have it in Puerto Rico, but I did have it in Brooklyn where I was living, in Bushwick. I think it's Dominican food. I mean, why aren't they a state if we do control them?

I don't really know too much about it, but they should have the right to vote as far as I'm concerned. I think it's their choice. I don't know if they can vote. I'm not a politician, so I don't know exactly the depths of it all, but it's like, I don't know.

I love Puerto Rico, though. Rock out, Puerto Ricans. You guys are great. S. Lore says, just pitching in, appreciate it. Jacob says, hey, Tim, I'm't know. I love Puerto Rico, though. Rock out, Puerto Ricans. You guys are great. S. Lore says, just pitching in. Appreciate it. Jacob says, hey, Tim, I'm a new listener, but I just wanted to say I love your content. Keep doing what you do. Thank you very much.

Appreciate it. Nice. Master of Skitari says, off topic, but have you seen the Estardes channel and his awesome videos? They are pretty epic since you missed me. I did not see it. We'll check it out. Michael Connor says, so tired of having to explain to people the differences between a racist and a xenophobe.

All the people that cried racist effed everything up. Bongo X says, yes, soy Jesus. Yes. Excellent. Yes. Excellent. Excellent. Well, how about we talk about what it means to be a real man? Yeah. The Conversation writes, the coronavirus reveals just how deep macho stereotypes run through society. And you know what I actually saw in that headline? Yada yada, grumble mumble, social justice nonsense, coronavirus. Yep, I saw that too. Nailed it. That's all, I read that now, that's all I see.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, social justice, social justice. We can shoehorn our ideology into anything. Yeah. Macho stereotypes see now this is how we know that the pandemic is coming to an end right social justice is back it's starting it's back on the rise again back for the season yeah exactly we're running out of things to talk about so they're putting this stuff back in and i am uh very happy to say that while we still are talking about the pandemic, as you mentioned, we're on the downswing. Yeah. So we get to pretend to be angry at them being pretending to be angry about macho stereotypes. I mean that only somewhat. I think we're angry a little bit. So let's let's be fair and see what they have to say, because maybe we'll agree with them.

Maybe there's always a chance. Here's what the conversation writes. Early indications suggest more men are dying from COVID-19 than women. Strong start. Although some countries, including the UK, are not publishing data on this. Experts aren't sure exactly why this might be. It may in part be due to differences in biology. Suggestions have been made, for example, that it might be because men and women have a different immune response and that men's immune systems may not activate in the same way as women's to

fight the virus. But lifestyle and behavior are also likely to play a role. For a start, men are more likely to have underlying health problems relevant to COVID-19, such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and some chronic lung diseases. This is in part because men are more likely to engage in risky behavior, such as smoking, drinking, and drug taking. Is that a macho stereotype? I don't know. Research also seems to indicate that some men may take personal hygiene, such as hand washing, less seriously than women. I agree. This could be due to the fact that cleanliness is often associated with femininity, domesticity, and beautification. Okay, now you lost lost me i think it has to do more with guys not caring they're lazy they roll out of bed they don't take a shower they slap a hat on their greasy heads and they're like let's go skate

that's about it yep i don't care it has nothing to do with like oh no if i wash my hands i might be a woman i don't think any dude has ever thought that. Nope. Maybe. I mean, I can only speak for myself. I have not thought that. Maybe in the 1200s. I will not be a dainty flower and wash my hands. I'm a warrior. That's right. However, the writer Carolyn Creado Perez has also pointed out

that because most medical research focuses on male bodies, oh, here we go, there is a lack of understanding about why women may be better able to fend off this virus. Now, hold on there, the conversation. This is a particularly transphobic assessment. Women's bodies, women can be born male. Whoa, I'm really triggered right now. If we're going to go by the standard set of social justice narratives, this is very confusing.

Yeah. They're trying to talk about femininity male behaviors but are i don't know i i'm very i'm very confused by what the point is anymore because this ideology makes zero sense well and they started this article by saying expert are unsure exactly why this may be it's like what so wait you led with we don't know exactly why the art of the title of the article says this but i'm going to give you all my opinion on it. That's what I read from there. And what you just read is just like, yep, exactly.

It's what you think. They have a story here. Oh, they're linking to Slate.com. Oh, cool. What's Slate? Slate is regressive leftist. Great. Nonsense.

Yeah. So when they mentioned that men, you know, or that cleanliness is associated with femininity, domesticity and beautification. I'm like, what's their source? Because they did put a source. Ah, it's Slate. Okay. Regressive left website. One strike.

You know, to be fair, Slate did write correctly about my trip to Sweden only because it benefited them politically in the beginning. So it's funny, though, because people like rag on me for going to Sweden and reporting what I did. I'm like, I don't know. Slate in the Huffington Post said I was right. Here's what they write. Loneliness and social isolation. The COVID-19 pandemic has also highlighted the different roles men and women are still expected to play in society. Men are not only less likely to take care of themselves, but also less likely to be involved in caring for others. It is striking how much women are dependent on to deliver both low paid and unpaid care work, whether for children, disabled people,

older people, or those in ill health. Indeed, the pandemic is placing additional caring responsibilities on women. I'm curious about their assessment of this. A woman taking care of her own child. Right. That's the unpaid caretaking, right? Yeah. I don't think women are going off on routine to like work at daycares for no money. Right. Yeah. OK. Correct. So that they're slotting this in under being a mother. Right. That's why I'm like, what if the woman got a job in the men? I don't know. Like, I don't understand how this is an issue for you. You have kids. You take care of them. Congratulations. You're a parent. And if you're lucky, your parents live a long time and you might have to take care of them too.

COVID-19 is forcing people to reflect upon a human fragility, mutuality, and interdependence. Oh, here come the weird adjectives and pronouns. But gender norms also require men to be invulnerable, always strong and self-sufficient. Does it? Men who also tend to socialize more in groups in public may take social distancing less seriously than women. They may find it difficult to accept. They need help, too, seeing it as unmanly to do so. Where's that source from?

What is this? Wait, what? You just completely lost me. Yeah, I'm out. PromundoGlobal.org Masculine norms and men's health making the connections executive summary. That's their source. No, I

if I'm going to do a job and I need help doing it, I'm not going to do that job. I'm going to go find someone to help me. These are not I like getting other ideas because sometimes mine aren't the best. This is what we were talking about yesterday. Why male feminists aren't real men. Exactly. Yeah. They're not. It's a it's a lie. Right. They're pretending to be tough and just saying what they think they need to say. That's not real man or manly. Exactly. Most guys

I know who are regular guys don't think this way at all. It's a weird caricature. It is weird. It's like feminists got together and started talking about, like started drawing a picture. It's like, ooh, make the eyes really big. Now make his cheeks really high. Okay, make his brow really curled. And they're drawing this picture where they're all pitching in weird things. They take bits of every person they've ever hated and mash it all together. And they've like drawn Gaston.

Yeah, I think you're right. From Beauty and the Beast. Oh yeah. Older men in particular are more likely to experience loneliness and social isolation. What's your source on that one? Bristol.ac.uk. But that I believe. And this could put them at increased risk of mental health problems. That's terrible. Gender norms also expect

men to be powerful and in control. So while many men may relish the opportunity to be more involved at home some have used it to assert more dominance and control over their partners and children this is this is so weird it's really it's getting further and further down the hole yeah that's that's the goal though because they know if regular people read it and they start with the crazy first yeah they'll be like, I'm out. So you got to rope them in, you know? Real slow. All right.

What is this? Yeah, please. Oh, there it is. Patriarchy. Oh, yes, we made it. We made it to patriarchy. We arrived. Of course, further down.

Of course. You tripped and started rolling and then smack face into the patriarchy. These patriarchal discourses can have serious implications for government policy, such as encouraging overly militaristic authoritarian approaches and prioritizing male dominated sectors, the economy and society. For instance, women are more likely to be in temporary, informal or precarious work, which falls outside the protected protection packages being established. You know what, man? So women don't choose to be petroleum engineers. We need petroleum for the economy to function for cars. And then they're complaining that we're not prioritizing their not as necessary job.

How important is it for some of the work that they're doing? Probably important. You know the reason. Well, for specific jobs, sure. But there's a reason why some things are paid more than others, like high risk or high necessity. Yeah. Or both. reason why some things are paid more than others like high risk yeah or high necessity yeah so if you if you're not working in petroleum engineering which is a very important role in sustaining the economy as much as environmentalists might not like like to hear it then don't be surprised when

the government doesn't say we're going to make you know feminist dance class an essential function we're going to subsidize all feminist interpretive dance lessons. Why would they do that? Okay, I know I'm exaggerating, but, you know, they – is part of the argument that if you're a mother, you should be paid something? Yes. Like if you have a kid? Is that the argument? They call it unpaid and they call it emotional labor.

Who should pay you? The government, I'm sure. Mommy government. The government should pay me i the government i'm sure mommy government the government should pay me because i had kids i mean they kind of do that in what country is hungary was hungry yeah if you have more than a certain number of children you get a tax break yeah yeah yeah tax refund all right here's what they say more broadly this crisis is a huge opportunity to reassess political priorities and gender relations. It offers the chance to overturn years of neglect by recognizing the essential contribution of care to society.

This will not only help to encourage men to play their part, but it will go some way towards shifting harmful gender norms in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. You know, we did a video, and if you guys missed this video, go watch it, because there's so much that we can say. But we've said it. We've had this conversation so many times. And what I'm really thinking of right now is, is that what was that video that we said? Who are the real privileged in the society yeah it's it's women yeah well and we explain it though we go through it in depth in this video right and and and there's a there's an age level and it changes it changes through the years so it's not always true yeah but for the most part it is well no no no it's early on yeah early and so early on it's right and as it as they get older, they get less and less important. And that's the louder and louder mouth happens. So the general problem, my hypothesis is that, so when you look at the data, dating data from like OkCupid, and you look at other data, you can see that young women are the baseline for highest possibility societal value.

And young men start off as a zero, quite literally. And young women start off at 100 on a scale of zero to 100. Over time, young men having no status, they're not strong, they're not tall, they're not developed. They have no money. No money. No job. Right. They're very, very low in societal value.

But young women are very high for obvious reasons, child rearing and healthy birthing and things like this. Whether the feminists want to admit it, that's what the evolutionary psychologists have pointed out. And over time, as young men become more experienced, more capable, more skilled, more wealthy, they start becoming more and more valuable. And considering that a man can have kids well into, like, his 70s. However late he wants. However late he wants, as long as the gun still shoots, it takes men a long time to grow. But here's the thing. A man in his thirties, around 33 or 34 becomes the most valuable they will ever be. And it doesn't get anywhere near the top. So a young women will always, women will always have more value to society based on certain data sets than a man ever could.

But around their mid-20s, I think around 28 or 29, men and women invert. Men are going up and passing women who go down in value. Yeah. But there is a fair point to make in that the value for women was never about their careers, their minds, their abilities. It was always about their ability to have kids. So the value they did have as young people might not be the value they wanted. It's about their looks, isn't it? Well, right. It's a combination of factors, but looks like, so a man looks at a woman,

he's trying to see, you know, when it comes to evolution, who's going to have good kids. Right. I don't need to know if you're smart or not. Right. Kind of. It's important to some, but not all. No, but it actually does play a really big role. The reason why 22 is the most sought-after age for all men is because of life experience.

So you want to know something really, really creepy? I guess. They did a blind study. I don't know who they is. I was reading this article about it, where they showed images of women and asked men to rate who do you think is the most attractive out of all these women. And guess what the age was. 22. No. Really? Go down.

Oh no. 18. Go down. Younger. Younger? Yep. Really? Yep. I don't want to guess anymore. Yeah because it's under 18. And this is what people don't realize. I don't get that because I I mean looking at if you were to look at like 10 to 100 and the years there's a point where you know like 24 you kind of look more adult ish and under that it's not even attractive anymore

to me it's just childish now what i was reading was What I was reading was that 22 is the prime age because it's young, but you're like an adult. So men didn't want to be around someone who was a child, who was going to act like a child. So when they were given images of women but weren't told their ages and left to make assumptions,

they chose very, very young. What was the age? You really want to know? Everyone's now guessing in the chat so let's see what are they guessing we gotta find out 16 14 14 it was 14 14 gosh no you want to know something even grosser no you ever go to a mall i'm with lydia here you ever go to a mall good you've been to a mall right i've been to a mall all right you know you ever walk past those like lingerie shops and you see the beautiful men in their underwear on the, on the, you know. Sure.

You've seen like ads with models for like perfume and stuff. Yeah, I've been in them. And you know how old these women are, right? I, yes. And you know, many of them are 14, 15. Not all the time, actually. So, I mean, it depends, actually, because I actually know because I was in that world and I worked with these specific models and they weren't like all of them. I would say of the jobs that I did, the average age was probably like 20 years old.

20. 20. There were some ads. I mean, mean yes there was very few times say about two percent of the jobs that I did and I modeled for a long time doing like the top stuff could it could it be that it's because you were older that they had you working in similar spaces with people who are old enough no I mean I did I did American Eagle three times, and it was like they wanted everyone to look young, you know? So it's like they got – but there was always like 20-year-olds to 24-year-olds. I've never worked with anyone under the age of 18.

I've been on a bunch of sets, and I don't want to violate anyone's privacy by getting into too much detail. Okay. But it's young, man. All right, sure. I i was that was my main job for like 15 years but here's what i'm so i know what i'm talking about and i could say exactly this i've been on a bunch of sets where the women were all underage okay so i'm wondering if the reason you were on sets with women who are older is because you were at you had a certain look and they wanted that to match versus putting a woman in a bra and panties and taking pictures of her.

You know where the young that I saw the young models, what they were doing runway. And it's a different it's a different environment. Runway modeling to like print modeling. It is two completely different things. And print modeling. I didn't see a lot of of younger under underage models. I have seen it. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I did of younger, underage models. I have seen it. I'm not saying it doesn't exist.

I did see it, but not much. Not as much as you're suggesting. I mean, the experience I've had. Have you been a model? Have you modeled in long? I want to avoid violating. Got a lot of experience modeling? To avoid violating the privacy of certain individuals.

Just messing with you. I've been on many sets. Okay. I've seen a lot of experience modeling to uh to avoid violating the privacy of certain individuals i'm gonna just mess with you i've been on many sets okay i've been in i've i've seen a lot of it right on and i've looked at ads and been like my oh my god yeah and i've had agents be like you know that you know how old that girl is the one who's got like her bra falling off and she's squeezing 14 i've been in i've been in in these offices where the agencies are talking about who they're booking and why they're booking it. Okay. And that's why I'm asking. I'm wondering if it's like you as like with a certain look, they were like, we're going to have women who fit your style.

And maybe that was your experience. I guess. I mean, I believe that's my main profession for a long time. I'm not saying literally every single thing all the time. Yeah. But a lot of these ads that I've been you know they're young women they're underage and but they look it's funny but they look older though those 14 year olds 15 16 year olds that you're talking about look of of a certain age and that's not um that's it's it's rare to get the on-camera look that they want of that younger age and

usually it's not american it's not usually not american girls it's usually other from other countries but uh yeah it's not good well whatever that data that's that's the thing i was reading was like nuts and also the thing i was reading from OkCupid about like peak societal value. I think they don't allow people to evaluate people under 18. So it like started at 18. It's like 100 and then went down. Yeah. But there was some other study I was reading where they were like, we just took a bunch of images and asked men to rate them.

And what I was reading from that was they mentioned something about the age of models and why models are chosen who are typically very young for these reasons. Because without knowing anything about them, men are like, ooh, that's attractive. It's interesting. There is a direct correlation with what you were talking about, how women start at 100 and go down and men start at a zero and go up. And in the modeling world it is exact same way yep you know all my friends that are girl models they are always talking about like i really need to maintain i need to stay in shape like i gotta i like competition's getting rough you know i'm not getting booked as much and then the guys i know some guys that are still modeling and they're

in their 50s now yep you know it's like i mean i guess i guess it depends on what you're doing because women could switch to lifestyle or something or catalog that's true yeah and then it's like then you're the they're the mom then you're the grandma yep and they're still looking for it exists but those jobs tend to be already have them right filled you know so yeah so like a dude will be like oh great i'm getting gray coming in and like oh that's great we could use that yep and the women are like oh god my wrinkles what do i do yeah that's why i'm growing this beard out no i'm just kidding i don't i don't model anymore

all right um we we do have to we do we do want to get to the moon mining one so i definitely want to read super chats but i'm gonna have to i'm gonna have to go quick again we've got a we've got a moon mining story, which is really, really interesting. I don't mind going long because I'm just waiting for midnight. I do need to sleep. I don't care about you. I just want to play Final Fantasy. You get up early.

All right, let's see. Where are we at? Bobcat says, for all three of you, if you could own any one firearm in regular use, what would it be and why? In regular use? In regular use. what would it be and why? Hmm. In regular use? In regular use. I don't know anything about guns.

I don't know. Wait, wait. Any one firearm. Hmm. Didn't the, didn't like Nazi Germany build this like gigantic, like 200 caliber insanely large. It says in regular use. I would probably, no, i would probably want a uh hunting rifle of some sort some sort of hunting rifle you know long range bolt action 50 cal anti-material

no not that crazy but uh yeah tripod belt fed 762 50 cal or something sure yeah yeah it's in regular use just in what context i don't know i don't know anything about guns man let's see uh kiki says tim you ever see the guren lagan if you like dbz i have a feeling you'll love it i will look into it jordan says mr pool look up the covid 19 situation in the philippines it's messed up here i was hearing that sounds crazy yeah andrew kelly says hey tim any updates on the u.s navy's up here. I was hearing it. That sounds crazy. Andrew Kelly says, Hey, Tim, any updates on the U.S. Navy's action near Venezuela?

Not that I've seen so far. I haven't seen anything. But you will talk about it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, if we see it. Angry Bellsprout says, When are we getting the BitChute account

called Tim's NoNoVideos that the NSDAP types won't allow on YouTube? I mean, if there's something I can't do, I put it on my TimCast News channel. And then when it gets demonetized and flagged, I'm like, I don't know, whatever. You know, there it is.

It's because my main channel, the people in San Francisco literally watch every video. My second channel, they don't seem to care about. James Spoon says, really enjoying the new show format, Tim. Keep up the good work. I will do my best. Student of History says, hey, Tim, want to play a buzzword drinking game for a live stream we can andrew says hey tim you have a fave meme um i don't know probably not maybe i just can't think of it no idea oh you do have a favorite meme it's the lord of the rings one where he's casting it i mean kind of reference most often well i've referenced it three times yes keeping track

i am okay yeah to me that seems like your favorite one it's the yeah because there's the the first recent context i used it in was the moderate democrats voting being voted in promising to get rid of the orange man bad narrative in the impeachment scams and then as soon as they were given the ring the moderate districts were like cast it into the fire and they're like no and they put on impeach trump and now they're gonna get voted out but i guess we'll see yep kevin says working through these times from home appreciate having you guys on in the background thank you hey appreciate it definitely wolf spain says for these feminists complaining about being a parent what you want a cookie chris rock right it's like you're a parent yeah it's you gotta raise kids man yeah yeah that wasn't it wasn't

that a chris rock joke where he was like so many people are like well my kid's never gone to jail it's like what your kid's not supposed to go to jail yeah yeah yeah julian says you have to be married to get those tax breaks uh interesting very traditional you use as pool jesus 2024 josh clark says you get a tax refund in the u.s if you have kids we have three and i get i think 2k for each child also y'all are my nightly routine love y'all hey appreciate it appreciate you and we just jump edwin says hello from long island staying strong with staples still open oh nice staples like staples like the Oh, nice. Staples? Like the office? The op store? Supply place? All right. Okay. J-Mac says, I'm with Adam. If I have to guess, keep moving. Sorry, petite ladies. Yep. Yeah, for real. Yeah.

Ant says, sexual marketplace value isn't the same as societal value. Well, so the point I want to clarify too is that I'm not saying women should be happy with that metric. Like just because, you know, they're valued because they're young and attractive doesn't mean they want to be. Yeah. And it's not, you know, some women are complaining that they're not valued for their time, effort, talent, intelligence, and things like that. It's a fair argument. Yeah.

I feel like that whole study is taking, like, the base animal nature of humans, and that is what they're looking at. Right. Very polarized. But when you broaden it out, and it's like no one says that women can't do anything a guy can do. They can do it, and mentally, there's women that are smarter than men. It's just about the bell curve. Right, the bell curve. There are more male geniuses than female geniuses.

Right. It's not to say that they're not out there. So if you have a million people and 1% of the males are geniuses and 0.2% of the females are geniuses, but there's only 500 available jobs, it'll most likely be filled by men. It's not an issue of bigotry discrimination it's that there's more male geniuses there's also more male male morons than female morons more men are more likely to be stupid than women or really stupid i mean very like you know it's actually average when you when you put them all together yeah let's see

gothic says you also have to factor in the women over 18 that can look underaged bloody says men prefer women between the ages of old enough, but not old enough to be a hoe. There you go. Based says, why can't Lydia sit in your spot for a segment to our show? I love y'all. Keep doing what you do. Finding lefties with integrity is refreshing. Thank you. Because she's actually doing the camera work and

other general production stuff, writing things down and looking things up. Yeah, you can't see it, but she's got a whole setup over there. Yeah, I got my little desk over here. You'll be able to see it eventually. Very important. Yep. The Disabled Beauty, thanks for becoming a member. Mark G says, Tim, you can go to sleep and leave us with Soy Jesus reading Super Chats and

talking about what he's excited about for Final Fantasy VII. Maybe he's just leave it running and he can come down and play Final Fantasy VII. I could talk about Final Fantasy VII for a while. You guys maybe want to hear it. I don't know. Some grumpy goat just out of curiosity, do any of you listen

to retro wave, synth wave music? I do not. I don't. I don't classify my music like that, but I might. I listen to all sorts of music. Well, here's what we're going to do.

We're going to go a little later today because we got a moon mining mission. Yeah. Yes. Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump is an authoritarian dictator who has just signed an executive order.

Here's the proof. Listen to this. The authoritarian madman has signed an executive order to commercialize the solar system and mine on the moon. I'm kidding. He signed an executive order, but I don't think it's, you know, even if it was a decree, it's actually kind of cool. It's not going to hurt anybody. It's going to be fun. It's not gonna hurt anybody it's gonna be fun it's not really surprising but you know what you know i'm curious about moon mining like what if we're gonna we're gonna mine on the moon and bring that stuff back right right we're like reclaiming the moon it used to be a part of earth that got like blown off by like a collision supposedly there there's it's actually in the air you know what they don't know exactly where the moon is formed why don't there's

three different theories that they're toying with why don't we just take a cable we could talk about that we should just take a cable right and hook it you know just like hook it to a you know a hitch on earth and then you know go up to the moon and hook it to which on the moon you know why that wouldn't work we'll crank it in you know why that wouldn't work why would that not work because it would slow the rotation of earth down to a stop and we would stop turning if we pulled the moon into earth the drag of having they thought about like you know space elevators yeah or or like someone wanted to do like a tether to like a satellite something and the research showed that eventually it would it would affect the rotation of earth so if we were to hook the moon up well it would just like halt us and we

would stop i wasn't i't going to say just stop. I was going to say crank it in. Once you get the cable in, you can start- Oh, bring it closer? Yeah, spin in the crank. And then why mind the moon? Just bring the moon here. Well, technically, it's in a perfect orbit around us.

So if it gets closer, it's actually moving further away from us. Oh, man. Wrong way. But if it were to get closer, eventually, it would fall and connect with us. And that would be pretty bad. Yeah, that would not be good. Well, back to the fun. Donald Trump did, in fact, sign an executive order.

They say, I love when they do these narratives. You know, honestly, I can't stand it. Neil Armstrong captivated the world when he took one giant leap onto the moon's surface. Moon's dusty surface in 1969. Yes, we know this. It has nothing to do with the news. President Donald Trump, who began his foray into galactic affairs when he championed the Space Force to fight extraterrestrial wars. The extraterrestrial. Do you know what terrestrial means? Are you kidding me? It would be the Mars Force, you morons. Trump did not start

a space force to fight on other planets. Extraterrestrial means other planets. Who are these people? I don't know, but I don't like their article very much. Wow. It's a great start. To fight extraterrestrial wars is looking for his own moon landing moment. I am angered. My nerddom is furious at their improper articulation. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the White House announced Monday an executive order in which Trump calls for U.S. business interests to mine the moon. I love that. That's it. It's like Trump hereby decrees by executive order. If you got a business, go mine the moon. OK, let's get started. I'll need a rocket. A couple of them. Yeah. Though the order specifies that a return to

the moon would allow the country to explore and exploit lunar minerals, it insinuates the scope of this new era of commercialization would apply to the moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies. Okay, now that's extraterrestrial. Lunar development would include a search for minerals as well as water, and this would require partnerships between the US government and private industry. What else is new? According to the order, one of the major roadblocks holding businesses back from mining the moon is uncertainty regarding the right to recover and use space resources, including the extension of the right to commercial recovery and use of lunar resources. Trump's executive order attempts to advance the scarce legal framework that governs various nations' claims to space. Several international resolutions, Yeah, in 1979, there was an international treaty saying they wouldn't mine planets,

and America never signed that treaty. Good. That's ridiculous. No. i you know what if we're gonna go we have to mine come on we we can't we we we have to figure out a way to make it self-sustaining and if if there is water somewhere we have to to get it you know i told you about that show mars it's really interesting how it parallels real life because it is half documentary so it talks about a lot of this stuff and it it goes over the whole science is going to discover stuff but then private enterprise also goes and they're mining and

they don't care about the treaties they're not in the treaties and it's like this this treaty that they were talking about is the the countries that are in the treaty but spacex can go if they go out and land on mars and they they can start mining they're not part of this treaty well that's i think i think it's it's very likely that we're going to see colonization from private entities absolutely no one can do anything about absolutely it's it's international waters out there so no one owns the moon well elon Elon Musk is building this really big spaceship to go to Mars. Right. You know, he personally told me this.

Okay. Did he tell you? Because I tweeted at him. Oh, yeah. I remember this. Why aren't you building an Iron Man suit? He's like building Starship. But I wonder if Elon Musk does this, it won't be a country? I got to be honest, man.

Companies function in a very authoritarian manner. Like you can quit a company so it's not like, you know, they're Nazis or anything. But the boss is the boss. You can't question the boss. They can kick you out.

You can't do anything about it. Could you imagine being on Mars as an employee of the corporation? And then getting fired? Not getting fired. Like you can't get fired. So they're probably gonna have rigorous testing and all that stuff. That then getting fired? Not getting fired. Like, you can't get fired. So they're probably going to have rigorous testing and all that stuff.

That's a good point. But complaining. I think I need more food. No. Okay. Yeah, the company controls everything about your life because they're providing you a place to live. Indentured servitude on Mars?

Well, they have very strict regiments of what they eat. Astronauts. But I do think, honestly, if you volunteered to be like one of the first missions to Mars, you're probably not coming back. They're going to treat you like a king. I agree. It's like you're going to have the best of the best every movie, every video game. Yeah.

Man, I'm sure the latency is way too high. It's probably like, what is the latency to Mars, like 20 minutes? Yeah, I think so. You can't play any video games with anybody. You know what's really crazy? Unless we figure out better tech. When we first went into space, astronauts were heroes. They were like, everyone was like, you're going where no one's gone before.

You are champion. You are the champion human. And it's like, no one really thinks about astronauts. Like three astronauts flew off Earth this morning at 4 a.m. I don't know if you guys knew this, but they flew off in the Soyuz and connected with the International Space Station. And that's so cool. Like I really, I don't know if you noticed, I'm really into space stuff. It's great.

But we don't champion them the way we used to. And I feel like it might be coming around because, you know, there's a new sense that we're going to go out there. We're going to go. You've seen Interstellar, right? Yeah. We literally just watched this because I think it was on before we did the show. Yeah. And there's that scene where he goes to the school and the teacher says, we built useless machines to pretend like we were going to go places we never went. We never went to the moon, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like that mentality is actually becoming prominent. When Elon Musk launched the car into space, a lot of people cheered. And then a bunch of activists condemned it, saying he wasted

all this money. Why is he spending billions of dollars to go to space? Why isn't he helping people here? And then people had to correct them and say, you realize he didn't spend the money on the moon. He spent it on people working on the earth to build things. Right. And then other people were like, you realize the purpose of sending the car into space was to make something exciting and fun that would inspire people. Right. So they would see this car in space, which is silly. But then it would create a moment that people would look at and be like, wow, that was when he launched the Tesla with the guy in it.

Well, it was also a test payload. Exactly. Exactly. at and be like wow that was when he launched the tesla with the guy in it well it was also a test payload you know exactly so exactly they had to put something in there and they're not going to put a human in there and that's actually part of the reason why we stopped doing space races because the challenger mission when we lost all those astronauts it was devastating for the public the public didn't want people to die going into space i mean it's it's inevitable and there's gonna it's space it's not earth did you hear that the tesla car missed what do you mean its trajectory was off no i didn't know they're like whoops now it's gonna drift off into space and then come back in like a thousand years or something really yeah i can't remember what was posted i was reading an article about it where they were like you know it's a good it's a good thing it wasn't a real

person because now it's like, ooh, there it goes. And then, I mean, I retweeted, everyone's been asking Elon to post the video of the Falcon landing. Yeah. And he did it. Did you see the retweet that I tweeted? No. Man, it's so cool. There's a video of just like attached to the side of the rocket,

the rocket coming back from space and landing on the platform of the water. I've seen that. That is amazing. So cool. It blows me away. It's so cool where we are now. And the government couldn't get it done. No.

You know, when the U.S. was competing with the Soviet Union, they got a lot done. That's true. When the U.S. dominated with no competition, they don't got to do anything. They sit around on their hands. So let me ask you, if Elon Musk came and knocked it and said, Adam, I want you to come in the rocket and be the first person on Mars. I wouldn't do it. You wouldn't do it.

No, I thought about this a lot, actually. And I don't, it's not that I don't want to go to Mars. I would like to go to Mars, but I don't, I don't know. It's an interesting question. I mean, I, I want to have a family here and I want to be a part of my family. And if, if I know what it would take to go to Mars and I can't do that, I can't, I can't commit to that much time. I was reading that they actually only want to send couples. Really? Yeah. Like one of the things I was reading about Mars mission was that makes sense. Researchers said it has to be couples because Really? Yeah. Like one of the things I was reading about Mars mission was that researchers said it has to be couples because it helps sanity, right? People will lose their minds if they're isolated this way. And in close quarters, coupling actually works a lot better. So, and they'll end up having kids and they'll establish themselves there with their family

and be less reliant on social interaction from strangers or anything like that and so i was reading something like they actually want like 10 couples so that there is a mini community and society where people are reliant there they have their social structure they can raise a family and be there permanently okay neat and then the plan would be to slowly send supplies there not leave you should see the show Mars. It's really cool. Why are we doing this? Where's Elon Musk? Someone give me Elon's phone number.

I'm going to call him and say, Elon, go to Mars. This is happening. This whole thing that Trump just did is because we need to be able to mine the moon when we set up the base there, which is what the Artemis program is, which is happening. When did Artemis start? I think it started last year when he announced it but i'm not really certain but i know that their plan was to be on the moon by 2024 now it's been pushed back because of covid so now it's going to be 2029 oh what i know yeah where's that where's that virus i'm gonna go show them what for yeah Yeah, please do.

Would you please? Clogging up our system for five years? Thank you, Tim. Yeah, so we're going to get to the moon. We're going to build like a moon port. Yep. And then we're going to use that as a launching base to go to Mars. Makes a lot of sense.

That's the plan. I wonder if, what's on the moon? Is there anything there that we could use for refining a fuel of some sort? They say that in the dust particles, they've found stuff that they can use. I don't have it pulled up right now, but yeah, there is stuff out there. I'm pretty sure there's ice somewhere on the moon. I'm not sure.

All we're going to do is invent replicators. Man, wouldn't that be great? Yeah, tea, Earl Grey, hot. Boom. A gallon of gas. There you go. You can go drive your car around dude i'm stoked um i mean it's cool that we're gonna see this in our lifetimes well we're probably gonna be old dudes watching you know in the virtual neural link or whatever is out by then oh maybe we'll get it well maybe we can download the experience package like total

recall yeah like i was actually thinking about neural link like if somebody's got a neural link in their brain and it's recording their experience and they go to the mars right and then they transmit the experience data it's like you know a 50 terabyte file or something they transmit it back to earth and you can download it for like 20 bucks and get the i'm going to mars experience and you just connect and then you like experience everything what they felt what they saw total recall yeah dude but like you've seen that movie right yeah of course yeah yeah the original one going to mars people are people are popping up with in the chat with helium 3 is on the moon oh and they can use that as a fuel yeah it's interesting there's a bunch of stuff on

the moon yeah cool yeah thanks chad according to futurama there were uh whalers on the moon. Oh, and they can use that as a fuel? Yeah. Interesting. There's a bunch of stuff on the moon. Yeah. Cool. Nice. Thanks, Chad. According to Futurama, there were whalers on the moon, in case you didn't know this. I did not. Yes, they carry a harpoon. We're whalers on the moon. That song popped in my head. I know what you're talking about. And then I love it when they show the honeymooners and he's like, one of these days, bang,

zoom, straight to the moon. Yeah. And then Fry's like, Leela goes, I didn't know your astronauts were so fat. He's like, that's not an astronaut. He wasn't talking about going to the moon. He was using space travel as a metaphor for beating his wife. I love that show. All right.

Let's grab the last few Super Chats, and then it looks like we went a little long today. But make sure, again, hit the Like button, subscribe, follow me and Adam. You can find us on Twitter.

Keep it the good commentary. Cool. Thanks, man. Hunter Moore says, will you ever take what? You already asked that one. Sir Badass says, enjoy the show. I work night shifts at a gas station in Florida. Business is dead here, but corporate is paying us an extra $2 an hour for this month.

Hey, wow. Cool. Soak it up. Based Okie says, sissy boys in the chat. It's the curiosity of seeing her on camera. I like, okay, I'm not going to read that, but there you go. It's a woman writing that, so I'm not going to read what she wrote. Steelman Sam says, sup gang, conservative viewer, love the show.

Enough to pay money. Have you seen the new treatment research showing that ventilators being the cause of increased death rate start looking at the virus's effect on blood cells ability to absorb oxygen interestingly in the spanish flu they think that the number was increased by i think aspirin poisoning interesting and a doctor recently came out and said they need to stop doing ventilation pressure yeah because it's destroying lungs and killing people. Yeah. It's too much. I did hear about this, actually.

He said O2 or something? The ability to take iron into the hemoglobin or something like that? No, I don't know what that is. Something similar about that, but it's about the blood, not the lungs itself. Oh. But, I mean, people are still dropping heads. I need to do more research. I don't know

yeah i don't know enough about it blinky bill said oh we just jumped there we go blinky bill says if we start mining the moon are we going to worry about changing the mass of an orbiting object that has physical effects on the earth that's a really really good question yeah and making the earth bigger when we bring it back changing our tides yes it's a big big question jmex says adam i too am crazy excited for Final Fantasy VII. I remember playing through and looking online for ways to keep Ares from dying. Spoilers.

So easy to believe BS back in the early days of the internet. What was your three characters you took through the game, or did you mix it up? I would do Cid, Barret, and Cloud. Those are my team. Right on. And I always wish that she didn't die, but that's what made that game so incredible.

I mean, the game's 23 years old. Yeah. Right. Come on. It's okay. Cliff says, would moon mining affect the tides? I'd imagine eventually. At a certain point, maybe.

Yeah. Lawrence Custom, thanks for the super chat. Student of History says, if you think moon mining is going to get good, just wait until they get to Titan for the methane natural gas. We're going to have giant ships of crazy fuel and combustion. That's so cool. Yeah.

Ground Floor Guthrie says, The major components of lunar soil is iron, titanium, aluminum, and magnesium. There is also creep available and possibly H3, which can help facilitate fusion power. What the moon lacks is carbon very interesting yeah awesome thanks for that jack leone says you guys should play outer worlds rpg about a massive colony ran by authoritarian corporations very relevant didn't you try i did i did play it what i didn't like about it is that it's a bunch of mini maps instead of one big map

yeah i like oblivion i like fallout because it's one big map and you can go explore and find stuff yeah you can go any direction a bunch of small maps yeah okay so it's like it's a good game but you know fearless soldier says there is a 4k live stream from the iss it's so cool absolutely cool it is andrew says when we get when we get real hologram projecting dual discs from when will we get real hologram projecting dual discs from yugioh i don't know if we'll ever prioritize that. So we'll see. Ground floor says I misspelled creep. Also the moon lacks nitrogen. Xerxes says 10 couples. Oof, wait till someone cheats. Then all hell will break loose. I don't know though. I don't know though. I was reading about how there's like, they thought it was sustainable. Superguy says, Adam, have you watched the 2019 Apollo 11

documentary? They used 70mm high-definition archived film to help narrate the movie. Lots of amazing unreleased footage. It's unbelievable. Also, you guys rock. Very cool. I haven't seen it and I will definitely check that out. Right on. Alcoholic says, there ain't no getting off this train. We're on till we reach the end
