Timcast IRL - TimcastIRL #55 - Huge Chinese Rocket Piece Screamed over US Cities Narrowly Missing NYC

Episode Date: May 14, 2020

China is dropping rockets all over the place (no, really - ALL over the place), at the same time they're also targeting US vaccine development to fight the pandemic that originated in their country. Tim and Adam have some feelings. Next, the cyber-stalking by the big cyber companies is really out of hand, but is that necessarily bad? A question of immortality rolls naturally into conversation of technology, and finally, some journalists yell at clouds about the basic function of the internet.

What's up everybody? Welcome to the TimCast IRL podcast. We're chillin'. I'm hangin' out with some people. You know, just hangin'. Just hangin', man. What's goin' on, everybody? How you doin'? We got... Hey-o! That's Adam. You're supposed to say your name. Oh, yeah.

Well, usually, normally you say it. No, I leave it to you guys now. You're like, oh, that's true. You're like, I'm hangin' out with... Hangin' out with some peeps. Adam Krigler, that's me. How you doin'? Yeah, yeah, look at that. Thanks for showin' up. And then there's like, there's someone else, I think. I can't remember her name. What's her name?

Sour Patch Lids. That's my name. I'm adopting it. I think. I can't remember her name. What's her name? Sour Patch Lids. That's my name. I'm adopting it. I'm rolling with it. Yo. Yeah. Yeah. So what's going on?

Yeah, what is going on? It is a crazy day, man. The news has been really, really nuts. It feels the same. It's really weird because we've all been locked down for so much. For those that are listening, all three of us have been talking about this. There's a whole lot of stories that are like not really stories they're just like fragments of stories and i think it's because we can't go anywhere yeah we can't do anything we're like

so you look at the the front line you know i'm the front page headline news and it's like donald trump today yelled at a dog oh and it's like it's always something about what Trump is doing. I think it's because politics is easy. If we can't go out and go to the movies, how do we talk about movies? Didn't they say something about it finally being over? They're lifting the restrictions. We can go out.

I thought that was a thing. No? Am I wrong? No? I heard you guys cheer from the other room. Like, yay, we're free. And I was like, oh, we're free. This is nice. Well, not here in Jersey, but Wisconsin Supreme Court just basically shut down.

Wisconsin's like, yep, you're free. No one can tell you not to. It was a close ruling. It was four to three that they won't extend the lockdown. Nice. So I'm looking forward to it because every day when we start pulling news and looking at stuff, it's like, oh, man. I can't wait. I can't wait i can't yesterday

was brutal we're gonna go do anything we're gonna do things again oh my gosh go bowling exactly oh man yesterday was brutal because oh man there it's it's every every something there's days where it's just there will be like 300 stories that don't relate to each other that are microscopic that have like and that's when you know it's like a really bad day for the news where they're desperately trying to squeeze something out i try to do more like you know philosophical or predictive segments in that in that case but soon we'll be going to the movies again and we'll be telling you guys what we think of movies oh man but this is what's crazy like when we did the birds of prey segment man that was fun but that was a big story that people were talking about on Twitter.

It was. And now it's like we can't go out and do anything. So there's no like it's just it's just been it's over. You know, it's true. You know, it's scary is apparently the mayor of L.A. said that we're going to be locked down forever. L.A. I kid you not.

This guy's an idiot. The population of L.A. Drops. Right. But this guy, he said he was like, we're going, we're not going to completely reopen until there's a cure. Okay. For a virus. A cure.

For a virus. Yeah. Has this guy had been through third grade biology? Right. Let me show you a little picture, a little, you know, viral phage or whatever things, bacteria phage. It's like, you can't, we have no cures for viruses. Yeah. So he basically said, we're locking down indefinitely.

Yeah. He clarified, he was like, the health department lady official said, we're, it's going to be at least three more months till August. Okay. And everybody went nuts on Twitter. They were like, you know, dear Lord, help us. And then he goes on TV. He's like, no, no, no, no.

I got to clarify that. We're going to be locked down. Like, we're not going to be completely open much longer than that it was like you're not making things better dude yeah so apparently this guy doesn't know what a virus is and doesn't know that we don't have cures for these things so that's freaky you know it's weird because it's all these like blue states that are doing it and red states are opening up yeah and it sounds like they're just making decisions off things they hear instead of actual science. Right. Michigan's the worst. Seems like it.

Because like, Whitmer, the governor, said this is an executive order, not a suggestion or whatever. And people are, like, there's signs saying, like, obey. Yeah. What is wrong with your state? It's weird. Every time I see her talk or see a picture of her, I'm like, oh, is this an SNL sketch? No. Oh, it's not. Oh, it's actually talk or see a picture of her, I'm like, oh, is this an SNL sketch? No.

Oh, it's not. Oh, it's actually her. It is. Right, right. She looks like someone from SNL. Doesn't she? I think she must. Like she's not a real person. Yep, yep.

But there is some, we got a bunch of stories. We'll see what we get to. But the first one we really want to talk about is a 20-ton, 100-foot-long Chinese rocket part. Apparently it was flying over the U.S. Over the U.S. Almost hit New York. We'll get to it. But before we get started, make sure y'all hit that like button.

Make sure you jump in the Super Chat, and we will do our best to read your comments. We get to them. You can follow me at TimCast, and you can follow adam over at adam criggler on twitter both of us twitter instagram but you can send adam story suggestions on twitter yeah and we uh we use the story suggestions we do yeah so uh so do that and then also you know share this video because one of the segments we're going to do today is youtube admits that nobody likes watching cnn but they're going to share them anyway and it it's funny because the BuzzFeed people and like these lefty blogs are angry

that people are uploading videos to YouTube and then sharing them on Facebook. I kid you not. They are now mad that YouTube hosts user videos and people can share the link. I'm not exaggerating. BuzzFeed's trying to get this shut down. That's crazy.

They're pressuring YouTube to stop the ability of sharing URLs. What does that even mean? Yeah, how? I'm like, they'll just go to BitChute, dude. They'll go to Mines. Just post the video.

These people are nuts, man. They won't stop until these people are drone, authoritarian psychopaths. They want all control. Yeah, dude. It's crazy. So let's do this.

Why don't we talk about a Chinese rocket piece screaming over the US? That's actually, I'm using that. It's crazy. So let's do this. Why don't we talk about a Chinese rocket piece screaming over the U.S.? That's actually, I'm using, that's a quote from another article from Futurism. But let's read the news. So here's the story from Popular Mechanics. Chunks of China's powerful rocket fall back to Earth, narrowly missing NYC. It is the largest piece of space junk to fall uncontrolled in nearly 30 years yeah since 1991

i guess but check this out this thing's massive this is why i was like they say a rocket piece and it's like what does that mean like a tiny little rock or something no this thing's 20 tons well tiny rocks would just burn up in the atmosphere so i mean if it was big but if it was like stage one and it fell before escape the atmosphere and it was like you know well i made it all the way across the entire country and landed in the Atlantic? That's crazy. So how did this thing fly over the U.S.? The large core stage of China's Long March 5B rocket reentered Earth's atmosphere

and plummeted out of control to the surface earlier this week. At 100 feet long and 16 feet wide, it is the largest piece of space junk to fall uncontrolled from low Earth orbit in almost 30 years. That's huge. Initial reports suggest that the almost 20-ton rocket stage had fallen into the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Africa. 20 tons?

20 tons, bro. Dang. Yeah. Imagine if that hit New York. New reports from social media and some African news organizations suggest pieces of the rocket may have been thrown across parts of the Cote d'Ivoire. How do you pronounce it? Ivory Coast. Ivory Coast.

There you go. The heavy lift rocket, which was carrying China's prototype crew capsule, successfully launched from Wenchang Launch Center on Hainan Island off the country's southern coast. Typically, rockets have a first stage that propels them for the first few minutes after launch, while the second stage helps the payload reach orbit. But Long March 5B was different. Instead, the rocket had a single core stage and four boosters that propelled it off the launch pad.

The speed and angle of the rocket's decaying orbit made it difficult to track. Predictions spanned a range of sites from New York City to New Zealand, according to Spaceflight Now. That's a pretty large range. What? Yeah, nobody knew where it was going. That's insane. If you're going to get that prediction, you might as well not predict it at all.

Two different sides of the planet. Right, right, right. Why get it anywhere? The U.S. Air Force's 18th Space Control Squadron, which tracks man-made objects in orbit around Earth, confirmed the rocket's re-entry was on May 11th at around 11.33 a.m. Initial reports claimed the spacecraft had plummeted into the ocean off Africa's west coast. Now two villages in the Ivory Coast have reported finding what they believe to be debris from the fallen rocket stage, according to images posted to social media and reported in the French-language news organization Afrique Soir. Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics,

tweeted that the location of one fallen object, a nearly 40-foot-long pipe, seen in a number of photos, wow, is directly on the CZ-5B reentry track. Look at that thing. Whoa, man. Holy cow. Could you imagine getting hit by that? Wait, hold on. I got a question, though.

It seems like it wasn't close to New York. It was on the west coast of Africa. How is that? Well, perhaps we. I got a question though. It seems like it wasn't close to New York. It was on the west coast of Africa. How is that? Well, perhaps we haven't gotten to that part yet. Oh, okay. So that's a different part of the rocket? Yeah. I don't know. Let's read. Hey, look. They want to claim it nearly hit

New York. They better back this up. Yeah, let's go. While there's no official word on whether these pieces of debris are actually parts of the fallen rocket stage, it's looking more and more likely. Lesina Zerbo, executive secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization, tweeted May 12th that the International Monitoring System's Infrasound Network, primarily designed to detect nuclear blasts in the atmosphere, registered signals of debris traveling at supersonic speeds in the area. What's the precedent here? In 1991, the Soviet Sviet salute 7 space station tumbled

back to earth breaking up over argentina the mere space station which was decommissioned in 2001 and broke apart during a controlled re-entry above waters near fiji is the largest man-made object to re-enter earth's atmosphere and nasa's sky lab space station famously pummeled a small australian town in 1979 i had never heard of that. Jeez. If the Long March 5B core stage rendered Earth's atmosphere just 15 minutes earlier, chunks of it very likely could have fallen across New York City, Ars Technica reported. But it isn't the first time China has played fast and loose with falling rocket parts. In March, when China launched its Long March 3B rocket, a booster crash landed downrange in the Guizhou province.

Late last year, another Long March 3B rocket ferried two satellites into orbit, but dropped sections of its boosters on a settlement near the launch site. In 2018, yet another booster fell from the sky after the launch of a Long March 3B rocket and exploded just outside of a small town in the Guangxi province. Wow. in them. As tempting as it is, if one falls into your yard, don't try to get a closer look. You think your yard would exist still if a 20-ton rocket fell into it? That's insane. So they're saying 15 minutes earlier and it would have hit New York City. Yeah, but they just said, you know what, man?

They also said it may have hit. I mean, that makes sense. Narrowly missing New York City. 15 minutes. I mean, that's all it takes. Or what, New Zealand? It's flipping around. Well, I mean, doesn't the International Space Station go around the globe in 90 minutes? I have no idea. Is that it? I think so, yeah. I think they're flying at like 13,000 miles an hour.

So they go around the globe every 90 minutes, I'm pretty sure. Yeah. So it would make sense, I guess. Makes sense. So 15 minutes, they're in Africa. 15 minutes earlier, they're hitting New York City. My question, though, what would have happened if it hit New York? War?

You think so? No, no. I'm asking. Oh, sorry. A rocket just decimated one of your biggest cities. I don't think anybody would believe them. That was an accident. That's what I'm thinking.

Man, think about the damage you could do with an actual missile. Yeah. But think about how much more damage you would do with just a giant 100-foot, 20-town slab of steel and debris. That's uncontrollably falling onto Earth. Slams into a building. Yeah. That would just kill so many people. Scary, man.

It would streak across a city. Wow, man, that would be nuts. It's kind of like, remember we were talking about the tungsten rod being cut from a satellite? Yeah, yeah. Like, you don't need a chemical explosive. You can just slam it into the earth. The G.I. Joe movie, I think it was, where the satellite drops the tungsten rod and just wipes out London.

Yeah. Okay, I don't think it would be that bad. But who knows? This is something that we've talked about in the past. Like, oh, yeah, when was that G.I. Joe movie? When did that come out? That was a long time ago. It was a long time ago. Imagine, like, when was that G.I. Joe movie? When did that come out? That was a long time ago. It was a long time ago.

Imagine, like, what they have nowadays. The Tungsten Rod thing has been, like, theorized for a long time, I guess, of, like, you know, just, like, firing a high-speed chunk of, like, very dense metal or whatever. Have you seen Westworld? I've seen the first season and parts of the second season. So I just finished. No spoilers here, but I just finished the third season,

and there's this scene where one of the main characters was in the army right and he's doing some some saying he's like tagging someone with something he's got like this uh this these glasses that let him like pinpoint someone and then he's like yeah target acquired hit it and then it cuts to the satellite and it just, you see this missile unlock and just go into space and then, or drop down out of space and hit this person and the explosion's really small, just the person just poof. Haven't you ever seen the drone strikes in like Palestine

or whatever? I mean, I haven't seen actual videos of it. These are crazy videos, man. Where you'll see like, it's like black and white grainy footage and there'll be like a box appear over a guy and then all of a sudden you'll see just like boom and the guy blows up. Just one just one person it's amazing holy cow hey man look the united states was like we want to figure out okay how to kill somebody and only the one person only the one person from very far away space we figured it out force i love it drones

reaper missiles health firemen whatever they're called. So I wonder if there's going to be anything coming from this. Look, I know that we didn't get hit by it, but does this, does Donald Trump then come out and be like, Chinese rockets, very dangerous. Is there going to be a Stern talking to at the very least? Or is it like

the science community is like, sorry, our bad. The science community in China? got yeah i don't know i got a bad track record going on right now man you got a good point yeah so so oh man i wonder we probably have treaties for this stuff though yeah probably but i'll tell you what man you look at what china does you look at how they how they you know uh with climate change with carbon emissions and like they don't care pollution plastic waste they don't care they're launching rockets they don't care no you

think anybody any any any of these communist chinese party people you know they're probably doing some guy probably walked in and like i have a very serious report one of our you know 20 ton rocket stages almost crashed in new york and then like some communist guys starts laughing almost huh wow that would have been funny is there anything on that report that says it would have hit china no all right well why are we why do we care about it yeah it's actually interesting because in this article it says that they it used to like here yeah yeah go ahead it used to hit uh where where am at? There we go. There we go. So their older ones, the 3B, somewhere in here it says that,

and it was falling, and it was falling on China. So they were hitting their own towns. I'm very worried about this. So they're like, man, we've got to up our game and make the 5B rocket, because then it will go into orbit, and we don't have to worry about it anymore. That's what I'm seeing. I'm just pointing it out.. That's what I'm saying I mean, I'm just just pointing it out point out what I'm saying allergies are Lighting my face on fire right now just to be completely honest. I am

allergies sound terrible awful man I'm so grateful. I did not have out. Yeah, we basically live in We basically live in a forest but another basically live in a forest but uh another funny thing you think like china's hitting itself you didn't care if they hit us no no they were hitting themselves right yeah oh they solved that problem that's the thing they're like we need a 20 ton rocket now and then we'll get our stuff all the way out there and then we don't have to worry about it from us i get it i just yeah so some guy walks into the the communist party meetings like we have a serious problem our rockets keep crash landing on our own cities hmm and then they you know

draw some calculations and now it's new zealand new york and they're like good job that guy got a promotion that's better good work he got a raise now it's not hitting us but there there is more news in the china front so the the question about responsibility is, it's an important one. I know, you know, we're laughing. We're having a good time. Like, what if this 20-ton rocket stage just crashed in New York, killed thousands of people? No, it's not funny, man. No, it's not.

China's been doing messed up stuff. Think about this. If they did something like this intentionally and then just feigned like, oh, no, oh, it was an accident. Oh, no, we didn't know. Yeah. But what about the stuff they do know about right yeah take a look at this story what do they know u.s officials chinese hackers are targeting vaccine research so i have talked about this before my other channels but look we've we've got china doing a few things there's the what i'll use the simpsons joke there's subliminal liminal and super liminal remember that joke no that's not like the guy was talking about

how they get people to join the navy and then lisa's like super liminal and then he goes he goes opens the window and he goes hey you join the navy like he just yells it out but uh that's great so china hires talent scholars or whatever like talent scouts or something okay and they secretly get money from the chinese government they lie about it to the feds they're not supposed to to get this money and they're not disclosing it to federal agencies that are paying them so they're so it's basically u.s tax dollars funding this research and then these people are giving that information to the chinese government while selling it it, wouldn't they be? Technically, right. Right.

Because they're being paid to be in this program. It's like, come on. I wonder when these people are going to get charged with treason or something. We have a cat on the table, by the way. Go to the wide shot. There we go. You can see it. Cat butthole.

He just decided to get in the show. Boku's joining us. He's our guest. That's the super liminal. I mean, they're still hiding. I'm being somewhat silly. But then they do the disinformation where they can still feign, oh, no, we didn't do anything wrong. We were just telling our opinions.

Yeah, yeah. It's not us. And then there's the overt hacking. So that's why, look, man. Is that what this is? Yeah. So they're trying to steal our vaccine research. I mean, we know this.

They're actually trying to hack us right now. According to the U.S. government. That's what they're trying to do. That's insane. I believe it. So this doesn't surprise me at all. Actually, hey, maybe you'll see the cat. He's coming over this way.

He's trying to push the cup off the table. So what really kind of surprised me about the rocket and them launching this rocket right now was that they have a little bit of a pandemic going on there right now. And they're taking out time to work on a rocket. And they're taking out time to target our vaccinations. we're working on our rocket too we're about to launch they managed to get one into space so the timing just caught me off guard a little bit i was like what what are they doing i mean we're still doing stuff right true technically correct we're locked down yeah well i mean we're about to send like in, in a week, we're going to send Americans into space.

Yeah, you just weld people's doors shut. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's very efficient. It's, like, hard for us. We got that dangled constitution. Not like these governors are respecting it or anything, but at least it's still there. Well, at least the courts were on our side on that. Yeah, at least on that one.

On the side of the people. Yeah. It's crazy to me. It's, like, I don't know, man. I think Rogan was asking me this is like over time does society just become authoritarian like china's so old like as a culture as a civilization does it just happen that way america's young we're young rebellious it's like think about it in terms of like an actual human you know we're like teenagers compared to everybody else and we're

like romping around we got guns and stuff and rockets and we're like freedom compared to everybody else. And we're like romping around. We got guns and stuff and rockets. And we're like, brutal. You can't tell me what to do. Well, I got to think about, well, what about like Europe? I mean, granted, it has changed a lot over the past 200 years too, you know, but they're – no, you're right, man. The more I think about it, it's like – Europe is a nightmare, bro.

Yeah. They don't have free speech. No. They're like super authoritarian. Not to the extent we do. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, it just depends on where in Europe I am. But they're like very, very like, you know what I think it is?

I think that's the right assessment. I think what happens is people defer to safety always. Yeah. Always, always. So when you get a really, really old civilization, they keep saying it's for your safety over and over again. People just say, okay. Okay. And then they get used to it right so right now everyone's saying like

could you imagine if we had to get like some kind of tattoo to track us bro i know it sounds bad but let me tell you something two generations nobody would care yeah you'd be born with that too and you'd get it updated every couple years and people would be like oh make sure to scan your barcode when you're you're entering the building. Like, we have ID cards, passports, social security numbers. We have all of these things. How about like a,

what is the movie, Minority Report, where they walk into the subway and they look at the scanner, it's like, boop, gets their eyes, their irises, boop. Welcome, John Anderton.

They figured out a way around that. It's called a cell phone. So, basically the way it works now is... Now they know everything and everywhere you go. Dude, Facebook knows when you poop. It's way better than irises. Facebook knows when you poop. Oh, yeah.

Facebook... I'm not even... I don't have Facebook on my phone. It doesn't matter. Well, how do they know then? Bro. Facebook's not on my phone. I never got it on my phone.

It doesn't matter. How do they have access to my phone? How do they know? Does anyone in your family have Facebook? Probably. Boom. Done. How would they know when I poop, though?

When you text and communicate with your family? No, never. Yes, you do. So Facebook has a thing called shadow profiles. So you have a Facebook profile. You also have a shadow profile. And Facebook accidentally released this one day. Like a glitch. And people saw their shadow

profiles and it's got crazy stuff in there. Facebook can predict what you will eat. That sounds like Westworld more. See, now I would be spoiling so I'm not going to say anything. But man. This is what people need to realize. Let's say you don't have a Facebook account. You do

have a Facebook profile. Let's say, no, no no tim i've never signed up for facebook you still have a facebook profile it's very simple yeah profile right yeah with all your profile do with all your information right so check this out your mom your dad your brother your sister your girlfriend, whatever. They all have you saved in their phones as Adam, son, boyfriend, husband, whatever, right? When they download the Facebook app, which is by default on Android phones and can't be deleted. Seriously? Yeah. Oh, geez.

So you have an Android? No, I don't. Oh, you're lucky. You might still have Facebook on it. So what happens is when they open the messenger, it says, would you like to sync your contacts? Facebook gets access to all of the contact list of everyone who knows you. And then here's what they find out. They know who your mom is.

They know who your significant other is, who your best friend is. They can tell based on the frequency of messages and things like that. Now, if you actually use the apps, that's when they can really predict your behavior. I want someone's email at Facebook so I can email them when I'm actually pooping. Be like, hey, Facebook, I'm pooping. Just so you know. Just so you have it on your record.

No, no, no, you don't understand. You're going to draft the email and you're going to be like, I'll show them. And then your phone's going to go, and you go, wait, what? And it's going to be like, we know, Adam, you don't need to email. I'm not kidding.

I'm not kidding. Before you hit send. Before you hit send send so i was reading this crazy thing that said basically they know where people will eat and what time they will eat because they can start predicting based on when your break time is so here's what they know whoa from the hours of 8 55 until 11 34 your phone doesn't move then Then it travels three blocks, you know, north to a shopping center for, you know, 15 minutes, comes back and then stops moving again. Guess what? They know it's most likely your lunch break and you went to go eat.

So they also know based on the things you say and what time it is, when you're going to go to eat and where you will likely eat. Man, I tell you, there was man i tell you there was a um this this test thing that they had a long time ago i think it was called like the spark or something was a website okay and they created these tests where they could predict things about you where it would be like we can we can prove whether or not you're like a man or a woman or whether you're white or not white and they would ask you questions that seemingly made no sense it would be like which would you prefer and then it would show you weird shapes you'd be like i don't know and you

just click one right okay and then at the end they would tell you for some reason white men click this shape and white women click that shape not we don't know why i want to take this test it's it's old it's from like like 90s man it's like late 90s research how i compare but there is a there there still is a lot of stuff like that, like Jonathan Haidt's research. Okay. Which does like moral foundations testing and stuff like that. So you can see like where you are politically. Do you believe in liberty and stuff?

Is that the one I did like a couple months ago? No, that was a political compass test. Oh, okay. Yeah, but anyway, the main point is Facebook can predict when you will poop based on when you eat. Who are they selling that info to? Toilet paper companies? No, for real. Toilet paper companies.

Think about it. I think they're doing all right in this pandemic. Listen, toilet paper advertiser says we want to maximize sales. Yeah. Facebook says we know when to show your ad for maximum effect. Think about it. on instagram like oh yeah here yeah definitely during these times more people poop and then look you'll get an ad and it'll be like scratchy bum you need double quilted bro what are you doing and you're gonna

be like dude i do need it for real dude i have bought i have bought a ton of stuff off of Instagram. Toilet paper? Not toilet paper. This lamp? This lamp? Yep. They knew. That lamp. The alien lamp. Wasn't the original one from Instagram too?

This one. The Starry Night one? No, no. The original. The Starry Night. Oh, no. No, no, no. That was a friend of mine.

Oh, all right. Was like. Is that over there somewhere? You got that over there? Yeah, I got it over here. Nice. You can't see it in any of the shots, though, unfortunately. It's little.

It's tiny. It's tiny. So think about what all of these other networks know. Oh, man. Google probably knows a lot, too. And people don't realize. Like, we talk about, like, we can't let them, you know, chip us. It's like, bro, you bought your chip.

You binged it. You begged for an upgrade. You were like, bro, upgrade my chip. Please. You know, it's funny. I was listening to uh rogan and they were talking about this conspiracy theory and i i really do mean it where they where people think their phones are listening to them they are aren't they no oh they're not it's just algorithms and it's it depends right so there's actually some truth to this uh smart devices always have the microphones on because they have voice activation.

Oh, right. So they are listening to you. But when Facebook delivers an ad to you and you were talking about it, it's not because they were listening to you. It's because they know everything about you and can predict your behavior. It's worse than you realize. It's way worse. That is worse. I remember I went to Walmart.

They had a sale on TVs. And we were walking through the aisle and the TVs were in the middle of the aisle on a discount or whatever. And it was a big TV. And I was like, that's a good idea. It was 300 bucks. And I'm like, it's a widescreen TV. Like, we don't have a TV. Like, TV broke.

I'll grab it. So we call the guy over. He puts in the cart. When I got home, I went on Facebook and there was an ad showing what appeared to be that exact same TV on the stand in the middle. And I was like, what's going on? This is crazy. Interesting. But it wasn't because they were listening to me.

It was because they knew I went to Walmart. They knew that I was a 32-year-old male. That makes sense. Yeah. That's the demographic. So they predicted I would probably want you know, want this TV. They were right. Wow.

You know what the most annoying thing about all that is, though? No, I don't. Why don't you tell me? You ever get an advertisement for something you already bought? Yep. Like you just explained. Right, but like even worse, like you go to Amazon and you'll be like, I need some, you know, double quilted TP, bro. And then you buy it.

And then all of a sudden you go to a website and you see all these ads for double quilted. You're like, dude, I already ordered it it why are you advertising this to me okay something like toilet paper you keep getting yeah but like right app okay forget toilet paper let's say let's say you order a fancy new i think the tv summed it up right there pro tech deck let's say let's say you get the fancy tech deck with the fancy little are those pro this this is the i just put the grip tape on a regular one because i don't i don Yeah, these are the pro ones. These are like... We had to build these. Although you said that they're not that good, though.

I don't like it. Let me see that. I don't. No, not this one specifically. There's better ones. It's pretty legit, though. It's wood. It is, but the pop is bad.

I mean, I don't know how to even pop these things. Yeah, nah. They're good fun. Art. Cool. But I ordered some better ones with better grip with bigger noses and tails. Anyway, the point is, I bought it already. I don't need any more. I've got it. Look, it's it's a tech deck well it's not tech it's a fingerboard why are they advertising them to me i go on because you're not happy with those

you know it's funny you said right you said they don't have enough pop you want something better maybe they know they know they're advertising the ones i don't want oh the same ones yes okay that's the point i'll let everybody in on a secret. When you're watching my videos, look at the advertisements when I'm reading news stories, and you'll know what we're doing. So there's been a few videos where it's like the ads are for B&H and for camera equipment and tripods. Okay. It's because we're setting up the new show.

Oh. Yeah, secrets. I took a screenshot of one of your videos one time and I was like, look what Tim has for his ads. He has skateboards, he has skate shoes, and he had, I forget what else you had, almost like beanies or something. Skate ramps was on there for a while. We were doing segments and I kept

seeing the skate block that you ordered and I'm like, what? I was just skating that earlier. If those are listening, if you're watching what the ads are, what like you know i was just skating that earlier exactly and then and then if if those are listening if you're watching watching what the ads are you can then like comment be like how's the new the new skate box tim well i mean is it an ad for something that you already got or something that you're probably gonna buy so there's a company called there's two companies

there's oc ramps and there's keen ramps and i think i'm i'm pretty sure the mini ramp we have is keen yeah yeah so it's good it's a good it's really good and so i just ordered another smaller one for like practice like from keen also yes nice i'm pretty sure it is i've seen that little ramp actually they did a giveaway like a week ago or something on instagram yeah yeah the lockdown's jamming up delivery but yeah when you see the, it'll be an ad for the whole company. So you'll see a grind rail. You won't know exactly what it is that I bought. But I think it's really funny because I was looking at the price of gold and silver once.

And then all of a sudden, all the ads were for gold and silver. And I'm like, I wonder if people are going to catch this. You know, I've actually thought that multiple times and not one person has asked us us like hey about about the ads it feels like people are well thankfully they're probably listening to what we're talking about you know not no but i mean in the clips you might well i think i think a lot of people are just listening to yeah like while they're doing stuff that makes so so well actually let me ask you guys good thing or bad thing what that the computers know what you want before you even know what you want. Well, I mean, I don't want to see ads for things you already bought.

I can't think of random things that I would never buy or never even. I don't know. Is it a good thing? Is it a bad thing? It's just a thing. I don't know. What do you think? I think it tends to be based on whatever you're looking at.

It could be good or bad. I don't know. You agree. It's the same thing. It's kind of neutral. My question is, if you were sitting here one day and an ad popped up for this UFO thing and you were like, I want that, would you be happy? And then you bought it. I bought that.

I saw an ad on Instagram and I was like, I would like to buy that. Full disclosure, I do that all the time. So it's a good thing. Yeah, for me i don't know every single time anyone has ever i've never bought anything off instagram in fact when uh facebook first bought instagram the ads were just insane and i would report every single ad from being trash to the point of i would go on instagram to block ads and i was like what am i even doing on instagram and i like kind of stopped instagramming for a while but now it's to the point where anyone's like oh yeah i got this thing on instagram and i just all i can think is just there's a little like giggle like sucker because half the stuff is made in china half of its pos

i mean actually more way more than half there's a lot of it that I'm just like, that's just going to be trash one day. I bet this is made in China. I mean, sure, that UFO has... We've had a lot of fun on the show with the UFO. When it stops spinning, everyone starts like, spin the UFO. It's been great. It's part of the show. So for us, it does make sense.

There you go. Spin that UFO. There we go. Spin, spin, spin, spin we go spin spin spin spin spin spin see there it is wow it is really spinning now so yeah it's fun but i still i still when you first told me where you got it i called you a sucker in my head for buying from instagram yep i don't care it's awesome dude it's levitating it the cool thing we got. Dude, it's levitating. It's amazing. It's floating. Yeah, sure. It's cool.

That's cool. Yeah, cool. Cool, dude. It's like anti-gravity, man. Great. It's very cool. It's a bad thing when they're advertising things you already bought. That's stupid.

But think about this. Like, okay, so we often project our current technological states to the future. Yeah, okay. So instead of thinking about, well, we can't predict for the most part. So we take things we already have and we exaggerate them right so a good example is back to the future right he goes to the future it's 20 what was it 2015 yeah and his shoes tied themselves yeah or whatever it is like clothes shrank it's like it's an exaggeration of what already existed there's a really funny graphic that i remember seeing once where it was like in the year 1900 what they thought the year 2000 would be like and it was firefighters with mechanical wings flying like because that's it was a technology

they had but they were like what if it was better so we can't make that same mistake so you know i'm thinking about what's the logical conclusion of these weird ai advertisement stuff and the assumption is we live in a world where before you even think you want it, it's delivered to you. Like you're sitting there and you're like, man, I'm hungry. Like before you even say you want it, it's like eggs. Just like, you know, a robot comes in and drops eggs. Right. It's been like a certain amount of time.

So you're probably going to be hungry. No plate. Just drop it right on the table. No, no, no, no. Served up right for you. It's like your chair brings you to the bathroom before you even know you have to go. And you're like, I don't have to. Oh.

Oh, I do. Oh, hey, look. The turtle's peeking. Poking his head out. And then eventually we're just like, we're just like, we don't move. We're sitting in chairs. Like in WALL-E. Exactly. Scary. But I don't think

so. I don't think so. I don't think so because that's projecting, right? Yeah, it is. There was, I don't know if you saw the story. There was some crazy story about how we've discovered a way to reverse aging by like 54% or something. Really? Yeah, it was. 54%.

They did some kind of plasma transfusion between mice and found like ridiculous aging reversal. Whoa. So it's not peer reviewed yet. And it's, you know. So it's new. Yeah, it's new. And they're saying that they think it's like I was reading some report from this guy on Twitter, some PhD guy. And he's like, and they're saying that they think it's, like, I was reading some report from this guy on Twitter, some PhD guy, and he's like, this looks legit.

It's, the goal now is to figure out what in young plasma is causing cellular repair. Yeah. And then you get a pill. Oh, man. You get an injection. And then you'd basically be, like, 28 forever. That sounds good. So that's, I bring that up.

And also frightening. Maybe a little, yeah. Yeah, dude. I can see that. Watching Altered Carbon. Yeah, man. Nah, I'm not, I'm not. so that's i bring that up and also frightening maybe a little yeah yeah dude watching altered carbon yeah man no i'm not i'm not the rich just keep getting richer and stay the same age no the the question i guess is scary dude i was watching this thing about immortality okay and they said the only reason we actually think immortality is a bad thing is because we age and so somebody who's 60 or 70 who has chronic health problems is like immortality is a bad thing is because we age and so somebody who's 60 or 70 who has chronic health problems is like immortality sucks right because we know that's in our future

most of us would say the same thing all right but there was the argument stay at our peak you could stay 28 years old yeah then most people would prefer to stay 28 forever okay even if it meant like at 100 you would die but if you were immortal it's like being young forever you're healthy you're fine you just want to keep living i think it's a bad thing though at least for now but yeah there's too much greed in the world it's not about the greed it's about human development like you know what what what is stopping that from from being what you would want it to be greed you know what man it's reality, but people die, and it's a good thing. That's true. In terms of like the, you know, we pass on our knowledge and our secrets to our youth,

who then get a new chance at experiencing the world and developing things and shaping things the way they see it. And we pass on. So it's like we get our time here to learn, develop, grow, make the changes we think. And then we pass that information down. And that causes evolution and development. And, you know. Yeah, we need boundaries. Think about it this way.

Imagine if a scientist from, you know, who was born in the 1700s was alive today. Okay. He'd probably accept a bunch of things as true. But he'd have so many ingrained falsehoods. So it's like, I was reading about the discovery of, I think it was special relativity, or maybe the Big Bang. And there's always a group of scientists that reject the newer theories and really, really put scrutiny, scrutinize it.

I was talking to this physicist guy about M-theory, which is like, I'm not super familiar with it, but a unified theory, I guess, like a theory of the universe, theory of everything. Okay. And there's this guy named, I think his name is Garrett Lisi, who has the extremely simple theory of everything. This is all really old stuff, so it's probably changed a whole lot.

But I was talking to this physicist who said there's a problem in physics in that these scientists have dedicated their whole lives to this theory, so that if it turns out it's wrong, their whole life, their work, their legacy is wrong. Or they spent their entire life to figure out that it was wrong. But they don't see it that way. They don't see it that way.

Think about it this way. You spend 10 years building this very beautiful model house, and then all of a sudden one day it falls apart. You didn't spend 10 years to figure out that the final touch would collapse you were trying to build this beautiful house and now you're like everything i've built has been you know for nothing okay so they reject it it's not even about whether or not they could accept they were wrong and be like i've successfully proven it false some people do yeah it's about them resisting and being like i i don't believe that i don't believe no no no no that can't make sense losing losing the science part of it and it becoming like an emotional investment right you know like part of their fundamentals you know and it's like when you

start off as a scientist science you know it's all about changing and learning and testing and figuring out what works so if you can't see that it works and it takes you 30 years to figure out that it doesn't work, then you're the scientist that did it. And if that's not what you're focused on, then it's a fundamental issue with the human that is the scientist. You know what I mean? It's a human problem. Yeah.

That's why I'm saying, you know, somebody develops a theory. Then, you know, they retire. They die. They've had their time on Earth. And then the younger person who is less invested says, hey, wait a minute. This right here disproves that. Whoa. And now they develop and then less attachments.

So I'd imagine if humans were immortal and never and, you know, didn't die, then there would be cultural artifacts that would persist that are like detrimental, that make no sense, that maybe made sense at a certain point. Don't make sense now. I think this virus is like kind of shining a light on how vulnerable we actually really are, because imagine if all the drugs in the world and I mean drugs like vaccines and everything we have the fight any ailment that the human body goes through like what if it all went away how many people would actually die then you know how many of us are actually strong enough to survive at that point you know because we're keeping humans alive for so long now right i mean it's that's a tough question man it's it's kind of crazy you know it's are we are we getting stronger or are we getting weaker? You know, we're kind of fending off like death, like with our manmade stuff. Right.

That's some dangerous that went there, Adam. That's to stick to your work and keep your mouth shut. But that's what that's what this is making me think of. Like you were talking about us getting stronger and like passing on our stuff but we're like we're not passing on our immunities we're passing on the the drug that just kills the virus that would have killed us that we don't have immunity to anymore we've got we've got a serious conundrum in our in in civilization yeah and that's you know there's very there do you know what fermi's paradoxes i feel like we've talked about it a couple times probably. So which one of the paradoxes is it? Well, it's the question of if the universe is so big, why haven't we discovered alien life? Oh, right, right, right. I'm simplifying it.

But one of them I think is that – Or that there's definitely life out there. That's what it's basically saying too, right? The paradox is if – in all likelihood there is. Right. So why haven't we found them? Okay. And there's a bunch of proposed answers.

I think one of them is very simple. We evolve in a way to survive. But once we've conquered our survival, then these things actually become extremely detrimental. When you have 10 people living in the wilderness together, doing everything in our power to save someone's life is crucial to the success of the tribe when you have 7.6 billion people doing everything to ensure that literally everyone survives becomes eventually detrimental in certain ways yeah so we see the persistence of genetic diseases that you know we've basically separated ourselves from this now we're smart enough to actually get rid of some of these diseases and start improving us, so I don't

know if it's necessarily pro or con in many aspects. But I think it is true that we're at a weird point where it is an ethical, moral conundrum when you have people who provide nothing to the greater society in terms of survivability

actually become net detriments to it. And a lot of cases, they have no choice. The people? Yeah, the people. Not everyone has even the chance or ever will have the chance to help society further itself. Because society is insane. It's not even about that. It's huge.

Are you alive? You know what I mean? Like, so it's a conundrum of if we were a tribe of 30 people. Yeah. And there was someone who was like a vegetable. Okay. Like I, people would. Like in a coma, you mean? Like totally brain dead.

Okay. Yeah. What are they going to do? I don't know. There could be historical. If we were a tribe in the middle of the woods, they would probably die. You can't feed them. Right.

They would die. So we've invented technology to provide nutrients to sustain someone who's literally just consuming resources and energy because we have a moral obligation to protect life. Right. That's a challenge. Interesting. It is. Because I certainly think we should save the lives.

Yeah. You know what I mean? We got the money. It's not about the money. I mean. Who's we? Yeah I mean? We got the money. It's not about the money. I mean. Who's we? Yeah. You said we got the money.

It's like, but then that hospital that say it costs 50,000 to keep someone on a respirator and being fed catheter system. What all the whole. Go ahead. You definitely want to say something right now. Go. What better use of public funds as moral people do we have than taking care of people who can't take care of themselves through no fault of their own?

I know. It's so easy to say that. But that is not the way it is. Yeah, I know. It's in a perfect world. Right? We spend more money killing, figuring out ways to kill people. Don't get me started.

What happens when the xenotaxins come from the Galactic Federation and start firebombing our oil fields? And now we're like, we need hospital beds for the wounded. What do we do? You got triage. Do we kick those people out of the hospitals? Yeah, you would have to. That's the point I'm making.

Yeah. So it's like right now. At peace, yeah. We have a moral obligation to save all life. So there are some people who have never had a thought in their lives. Yeah. It's true. And I know some people who have family members who were born with severe mental disabilities. Yeah.

Don't speak, are considered to be on the, like, essentially comatose or, like, severely developmentally disabled. Yeah. And they're legally obligated and morally obligated to do everything they can to keep, you know, to save this life and i agree but i also recognize the potential philosophical conundrum i guess when it comes to a real conflict yeah we're not going to provide resources for these these people we're already there aren't we didn't we have like the do not resuscitate orders the people the doctors that were like that person's dead this person's more important

save them instead of them well that's just that happened in italy that happened here right but it's already happened yeah so we're already past that point the craziest the craziest thing about it is that most of our hospitals weren't overrun right that's what i'm hearing hospitals that were overrun right and so that resulted in them being like, this hospital, we can't do it. So you die. Right. Yeah. What do you do, man?

What do you do? I don't know. I'm glad I was not a doctor in that situation. I had to make that choice. When you go too far to the extremes, you end up with no good answer, right? Yep. You go full fascist and they're like, unplug them. And you go too far left and they're like, don't unplug them and don't provide resources to those who truly need it.

Right. It's like the yeah, it's like logic versus emotion, I guess. And man, it's tough. If you lose your emotion, you become a robot. Nobody wants to be the Borg. Right. But if you lose your logic, you become just like you collapse. You can't function properly.

Right. Exactly. Exactly. Yep. Oh, man. you become just like you collapse you can't function properly right exactly exactly yep oh man so i guess the the somehow we got into this conversation talking about immortality yeah how do we get here because i was talking about like scientific development or something right and we're talking about immortality that's great that's fun i like that that's fun that was great it was yeah it was deep questions we were just hitting them up, though. That was nice. So here's my question, Adam. Would you take immortality? If the vampire

Lestat walked in right now and was literally Tom Cruise. Absolutely. No hesitation. That was a great book, by the way. The book? I've seen the movie. Lestat, the book. Oh, Lestat. I've seen Interview with a Vampire. Also a good book.

Vampire thing aside, that's silly, but yeah, would you take immortality? Man, I don't know. I mean, I would want to say yes because I would love to, you know, see the civilization in the future where we colonize the – you know, this whole solar system, travel around, go to the different planets, see it all. I mean, I think about Star Trek was one of my favorite shows. When you ask me if I would want to be immortal,

the first thing I'd think of is oh man, I could travel to stars then. I can actually travel the universe and not have to worry about dying. But are we talking about biological immortality where you just don't age? Right. Or like you're Wolverine, invincible,

you know, regenerating, and you literally can't die? I'll take that, yeah. That sounds good, too. What happened to the heat death of the universe, man? Life won't last forever. You'll be just floating around in all pure blackness. I mean, didn't Wolverine die?

Well, but I'm talking about... Adventure spoiler, I guess, from Logan. Didn't he, though? I don't actually remember. Did he or not? I'm using him as just like an example. well but yeah but i'm talking about spoiler i guess if you could logan didn't eat though i don't actually remember did he or not i'm using him as a as just like an example what i mean is i will become immortal if i have the choice to kill myself at eventually that's what i was gonna say i'd say yes how about now because then i'd be like 100 years from now i'd be like that was fun seppuku what a way to go it's like korean. It's like, actually, you have to slice off your left ankle. What?

I don't think I can do that. Like the one weakness is your Achilles heel. Exactly. It's like, well, it's time to go. Let me get that. Yep, that's it. Just flick it. Well, you couldn't be a skateboarder.

Well, hold on, man. My ankles are screaming. You're very idealistic. Maybe I am. Because what if the future isn't We Explore the Stars? It's a bunch of sjw's start locking people in gulags okay yep and then is it harry carey what harry carey isn't that what it's isn't that uh another term for it harry carey harry carey is the guy from the cubs

no no no it sounds it sounds the same yeah i don't know i don't know seppuku harry carey seppuku harry harry carey was the guy who talked like this. And he was like a Cubs announcer. Also, what was that? It's Seppuku. It is the same thing. It's a similar, like, suicidal thing. Harry Carey?

Yeah. It's spelled H-A-R-I-K-A-R-I. Oh. Harry Carey. Harry Carey. Oh, excuse me. Yeah. Excuse me.

You're from Chicago, so of course that's where your head goes. He said Harry Carey. I know. But funny thing is. You're from Chicago, so of course that's where your head goes. He's a Harry Carey. I know, but the funny thing is I'm from Chicago too, so whenever I say it, I think of him doing it to himself. Oh, my gosh. That's brutal. I know. This makes no sense.

Yeah, but I loved him, man. He was hilarious. I went and saw him a bunch. He's the announcer for the Cubs. Well, he was for many, many years in Wrigley Field in Chicago. So us growing up in Chicago, we think Harry Carey. And it's just like, I'm Harry Carey. He spoke like this.

He's a funny guy. You know what, man? Let me ask you another question. Oh, please. I love these deep questions. What if they couldn't preserve your body, but they could preserve your consciousness digitally? In a stack? No, no, like in a virtual.

Yeah, basically, like in a stack and a stack? No, no, like in a virtual, like, when you're Yeah, basically, like, in a stack, and alter carbon. No, no, Black Mirror. Oh, okay. I don't know. It's when they go to retire. Okay. They're, like, 80. They download their brains into a server where all of a sudden they're in their 20s, and they're in digital retirement Oh, yeah, I did see that episode. And now you're

young, and you're partying, and you're, like, doing whatever you want forever. I mean, it sounds good. I don't know. I mean, do I have any Yeah, I did see that episode. And now you're young and you're partying and you're like... Doing whatever you want forever. Yeah. I mean, it sounds good. I don't know. I mean, do I have any say or can anyone have any say on the outside world? Or once you're in there, you're like cut off? I guess...

Well, no. Because that's a big difference. Like you can still communicate with people because they come visit you. They can come in, hang out on the server. Interesting. Was there a Futurama episode? I'm surprised you didn't go Futurama with that. uh no the future i'm one i think is they're like just comatose or something they're like in a library of retirement where they're like plugged in no i

think that's what it is i think we're in a virtual world yeah it is a virtual yeah but the the the black mirror one was that's more spot on yeah yeah yeah yeah because yeah juniper yeah sand sand juniper or something yeah something, something like that. The island. Yeah, they're, like, partying and stuff, and they're, like, young forever. I think it'd be weird because you'd have, like, one server that's the 19, like, people born in the 1920s. Yeah. And they're, like, all super racist and, like, very, like, traditional. Okay.

And so then you wouldn't mix the people who were born in the 70s who are all, like, you know. Hippies. Yeah, okay. No, born in the 70s are not hippies. Born in the 70s, yeah, yeah. Children hippies yeah no born in the 70s whoa whoa whoa i know a lot of of my i have a lot of older cousins that were born in the 70s they were definitely hippies oh were they yes definitely what i'm saying is well their parents were hippies too so it kind of they just boomers were hippies okay the people born in the 50s who were late teenagers in the 70s yeah okay hippies yeah it kind of makes sense i read something crazy i read that woodstock there's a pandemic during woodstock was it really yeah flu pandemic

yeah and they're like nobody cared they like it's because it only affected older people right and so the question was then it's like i think this was like some economic council they were like if if that's the case, man, we've... I don't think they made this argument, but it's kind of like we prioritize safety. Isn't that kind of what we're finding out about COVID? It's killing all these older folk that were

already at risk. If they had gotten the flu, they probably would have died also. People with no vitamin D. Get outside, get some sunshine more often. But they're telling you to stay inside. And now there's this whole thing about kids are there's this new thing that's going around. Inflammatory syndrome.

It sounds like a scare tactic, honestly. It does, man. It sounds like they're trying to scare people to continue on. Look at South Dakota. Nothing happened, right? Nothing happened. For those that don't know, South Dakota never locked down and the media attacked them relentlessly.

And then they still refused. And now it's three weeks on from when they were being attacked. The media was like, South Dakota, the new hot spot. Three weeks later, nothing. And of course, they're not talking about it. Right. They don't talk about that part. It's like, no, no, no, no.

Don't talk about it. Meanwhile, Los Angeles is like, we must lock down indefinitely until there's a cure for a virus. Yeah. And no wonder that the Republican just won in California, didn't they? I don't know exactly what went down. 25th District. This is a good opportunity to talk about the next segment. Let's do it.

YouTube CEO. Users don't like authoritative mainstream media, but we boost them anyway. All right. The first thing you have to do. I have to laugh. I have to. Like the video. don't like authoritative mainstream media, but we boost them anyway. All right. The first thing you have to do if you're listening to this. I have to laugh. I have to. Like the video,

hit the like button, subscribe, notification bell, and then share this. Please. Before they shut us down. Because no, it's going to get good.

I got some, I'm going to drag some of these lefty journalists who are angry that people can share YouTube links. That's amazing. Why would they be mad though? Because they can't control the narrative. Yeah, dude. Oh, right. Okay, okay. This is links. That's amazing. Why would they be mad though? Because they can't control

the narrative. Yeah, dude. Oh, right. Okay. This is nuts. Check it out. We know this. We know that nobody likes these videos. Listen, look up CNN or any one of these, you know, CBS or Fox or whatever. Their videos are boring. Nobody wants to watch them. They all have thumbs down and they get

like 10,000 views, if that. And then you go to like my channel. It's like my videos got like 300, 400,000 views. And I'm like, people are choosing my content when presented. They're not choosing CBS, ABC, NBC, et cetera. But because YouTube is propping these channels up, they're getting hundreds of millions of views. You know how much money that is? No.

Bonkers. Lots of money. Lots and lots of money. Let me think real quick let's see i think cnn is probably getting probably a million bucks a month low estimate from youtube alone because uh and that's and that's off taking clips from their shows and just uploading with without question without even trying to engage with youtube and because youtube is putting them up think about how much money YouTube would actually make if they chose to show real independent creators that actually get the engagement. They don't care, though, because they're scared of these media outlets.

They're scared of people at BuzzFeed. And yes, I'll give Ryan Broderick the credit. They're scared of people like Ryan Broderick. This dude who, I'm not sure if I've ever met him, but he really has this thing for no matter what happens, he's got to call it a problem. Okay. Check this out. You may have seen Plandemic. I'm not a big fan. I'm not a big fan because I think it's an interview with one person who may or may not be correct. I understand she's a doctor, so I can only defer to the experts. But there's a lot of things they could have done better. And, you know, hey, it is what it is. But YouTube shouldn't have removed it because they took away any opportunity for debate and challenging of the idea. It's the stupidest thing they could have done. Check this out. Let me show you the Casey Newton tweet first. He says,

I wrote about how plandemic went viral facebook groups linking to youtube driving tremendous attention in a short amount of time and okay that's just literally the internet yeah like what's your what's the issue well check it out welcome to the internet ryan says youtube knows this is a problem in april i reached out about the absurd traffic that youtube videos were getting on Facebook, particularly in groups. They told me, the video was not recommended by our systems. The majority of the traffic and views come from external sites.

A problem? Wow. What problem? That someone can share a link? Last May, last year, YouTube changed the algorithm to strike down channels like mine. It used to be that if you watched one of my videos, the autoplay recommendation would show you more of my videos. So all of these, I'll do air quotes, I'll just call them activists, got angry. Oh, no, we're so angry because people with opinions we don't like are getting traffic and, you know, we work for BuzzFeed.

So YouTube changes the algorithm. Here's what I did. I started saying at the beginning of all my videos, if you want to support my work, the best thing you can do is share this video. Because the YouTube algorithm is weighted against me, but there's nothing more powerful than a direct share. We can go ahead and take this time to say, go ahead and share this video. Share this video. Tell everyone how awesome we are. Word of mouth, baby.

Please continue, Tim. But in all seriousness, look at what he's saying. This is a guy from BuzzFeed. He writes these hit pieces. He's been wrong on several occasions. And he's literally angry right now that people on Facebook have shared links. What's the alternative? Let's say YouTube says, okay, we've decided we're going to outright ban everybody.

What? So that YouTube just becomes Netflix? So the only people who can post are is Netflix. Think about what he's saying right here. YouTube knows this is a problem. What? That users can upload videos and share the link. What does YouTube? Isn't that what YouTube's for?

It's literally literally what it's for. Supposed to be. It's supposed to be. Oh, man. But here it's unsurprising that this is what, you know, BuzzFeed focuses on. He goes on to say, since the pandemic started, I've written several stories focusing on the explosion of Facebook users

sharing YouTube links. What? Excuse me? This is literally how it used to be. When YouTube first started, people would go on Facebook and they would share links. Facebook got mad because it was driving traffic off of their site. So Facebook started reducing the amount that YouTube links would appear.

Right. Yeah, I remember that. It's countered now because people make groups. And so when you're in a group, the post appears to the people in the group. He's mad. He's mad about it. Ha ha. Short thread.

YouTube's attempts to clean up their platform have not stopped and may even be exacerbating the Facebook sharing. The search results for COVID content are cleaned up, but on Facebook, things are complete free-for-all. And? We can't control it. What do we do? We're losing our power.

People on the internet are talking. Oh, no. Someone's Sisyphean. Holy cow. This is amazing. This second, largely unmoderated YouTube via Facebook is especially bad in India, where some of the most watched COVID-19 videos in the world are in Hindi and full of misinformation. I don't disagree that disinformation is bad. It's a very big problem. Let me ask you, what do you do if, like, you know, Billy Bob walks down to the local watering hole and says, Hey, man, I heard that this thing was orchestrated. And the other guy goes, Wow.

Are you going to show up and be like, Stop talking. Are you going to write a newspaper article? Dangerous things are happening where people are talking. Apparently you are. Whispers. Sharing thoughts and ideas. Oh, no. I see someone at Bud's feed saying it's full of misinformation,

and then I know what I know because I've been in this world now seeing the mainstream media spreading misinformation. Yeah. Like, I'm on Twitter now, and I follow people on both sides of the spectrum as far as, like, political. And it's like both sides are just spouting misinformation that just proves their own points, you know, and this happens pretty much everywhere I go. But one side tends to be correct.

Yeah, and it switches. It doesn't switch. Yeah, you're right. It doesn't. It's mostly on the right, yeah. It's like this. Well, I mean, there are some environmental things that people on the left are saying that is from truth. But that's not an issue of reality. That's an issue of opinion. Right that is from truth but that's but that's

you know that's not an issue of reality that's an issue of opinion right okay well that's what i'm talking about those kind of things so you can say something like i do not like donald trump removing environmental protections right that was one of my things and then a conservative will say i do like it's good for business and you'll say it's i don't think so i think it's bad for everybody blah blah it's an argument that's fine okay but three four five four, five years of Russia, Jussie Smollett, Covington, these are really high profile examples of how the media just gets everything wrong. No, I 100% agree

that it's mostly a one-sided thing right now. So the easiest way to explain it is you do have fake news on the right. The 5G conspiracy stuff. It's not fair to call that right wing, to be honest. Yeah, I was going to say, isn't that just like random nuts everywhere? because you know anyone karen partisan karen on facebook yeah really 5g karen on facebook saying something like you know the towers are coming for

us it's not exclusive it's not it's nothing to do with the right right you know what i mean or the left yeah it doesn't yeah and and and there are a lot of left-wing crazy conspiracy theories and recently chris hayes of msnbc in an in an interview said they're out of their gourds. Right. So conspiracies happen. But I'll tell you what. I can't give you the exact number, but it's something like this. Six out of 10 stories that come from the right are correct.

Four out of 10 stories that come from the left are correct. Okay. And so if you're on the left, you have a tendency to be wrong. If you're on the right, you have a tendency to be right. Okay. But I'm not saying political right or left. I'm saying culture war, right and left. And that's because a lot of moderate and independents are now somehow aligned with the right simply because there's issues of freedom and free speech and free thought.

Yeah. You look at, like, Ben Shapiro, who's, like, the joke about Ben Shapiro is, debate me! You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, he wants to have the ideas challenged. He wants it down. Yeah. And the left is, shut them down. Cancel their show. Cancel their speech. Yeah, we don't want to

debate. We don't want to get in an opportunity where you can just prove us wrong. Exactly. And so that creates this kind of dynamic. And that's exactly what we're seeing right now with BuzzFeed. Yeah. Let's read a little bit more. He says, increasing Facebook traffic for YouTube videos has also mirrored the rise in conspiracy theories.

The 5G truth or Facebook groups are full of YouTube links that they share with each other because the videos look more legitimate than native Facebook content. That's definitely true about whether it looks good or not. Facebook content is garbage. And the video that I got YouTube to comment on was the one that claimed Dr. Fauci is a member of the deep state. The video was viewed over 6 million times. Its biggest referrals were a QAnon Facebook group, a Christian mommy bloggers page, and a chiropractor. The deep state is a specific colloquial reference to members of what they call the permanent government. And this is actually what someone in the intelligence community called it. These are people who are holdovers, right?

Yeah. So George W. Bush will be like, I'm going to appoint this guy to the FBI. And then Obama comes in and the guy stays. And then Trump comes in and the guy stays. That's what people refer to as deep state. People who have been in government and aren't elected were appointed and just stay. Oh, aren't elected. Right. Okay. So if someone said Dr. Fauci is a member of the deep state, I'm like, that's just a colloquial way to explain that Dr. Fauci has been in government in this position for decades. Yeah. That he wasn't elected. He wasn't changed. And that's a big aspect of our government. Yeah, it's not sinister. Yeah, right. But, you know, look, because conspiracy theorists might use similar terminology, it's like,

what do we do? Yeah. YouTube knows Facebook users are sharing YouTube videos at a higher rate. And you can see the traffic increase on social metric sites like BuzzSumo and CrowdTangle, which means Facebook knows this too. But each platform is expecting the other one to moderate this. It's a mess. What do you want to happen on the internet with the internet? I don't get it. What is he expecting?

I don't know. It's so silly sounding. Facebook is like, it's a YouTube link. So Facebook already censors a lot of content. I don't know. It's so silly sounding. Facebook is like, it's a YouTube link. So Facebook already censors a lot of content. YouTube already took down tons of these videos. You know what's going to happen? Someone's going to post it to LiveLeak or BitChute, and then they'll post it to Facebook.

You can't stop this. It's a core function of what the internet is. Yeah. Hey, sorry, we're connected in the internet. Links exist. You can't stop us. We're going to stay connected now. Imagine. When are they going to get that?

It feels like they want to go back to like the 90s. Kind of. You know, when people were just like, oh, what's the internet? Dial up? What's that? I'm going to go read the newspaper. I think it's more in line with Trump derangement syndrome. Okay.

So outside of what Trump derangement syndrome is Okay. Like, so outside of what Trump derangement syndrome is, focus on Trump, there's the general effect. So people who, no matter what it is, it's always wrong. It's always bad. It must be stopped. So at first they're like, you know, Alex Jones is on YouTube and he's saying things we disagree with. So then YouTube gets rid of him. Yeah. Okay.

Well, we still have to be mad about something. So people are sharing links on Facebook. That's crazy. No. Yeah, it's crazy. Wow. Someone shared a link. BuzzFeed, how do you think you make money?

What a good question, Tim. People take the links. Well, they don't make money from me. That's for sure. I don't go to BuzzFeed. Websites like BuzzFeed, like Vox, like Mike.com, which is like mostly defunct, got started by manipulating Facebook's algorithm.

Okay. Because people would share the stories. So there's, we've heard about this before. Some of these sites used to be like right-wing libertarian. Because, you know, police brutality videos were very, very popular for a long time. Yeah. So the approach was, if you were all about liberty, you could play to the left and the right. Okay.

Because most Americans detest racism, so it wasn't a left or right issue. So all of these sites first started out kind of like on a libertarian bent. But they started figuring out that it's older women who share the most. So their content slowly started skewing towards moms. Do you want me to say it? What? Karens? Yes.

Karens. Yes. You were thinking it. I was thinking it too. To Karens. Yeah, for sure. That's absolutely it. Yep. And so then, more shares, more money. So they started hiring people to write these things, and thus we got the wave of critical race theory social justice stuff, because Facebook was being exploited.

Here's the funny thing. Did I complain about people's ability to share links? I think it's a serious problem that Facebook drove this. But that, he is. It's like, imagine a zombie complaining about zombies. You have complained about YouTube quite often on our show. Yeah, well. But for right reasons.

I've defended YouTube against the lies that YouTube radicalizes people. It's not true. Okay. I've complained about YouTube censoring in favor of these people. Yeah. Well, and pushing CNN and squashing you down. Right. No, I'm not saying you're not justified.

I'm not talking about them complaining about their problem. I'm talking about they were propped up and now they're mad other people are taking advantage of the same system. Oh, BuzzFeed was propped up for a while yes they manipulated the facebook algorithm well okay i should say sites like buzzfeed hoving in post okay this is what they were doing he's mad or i should say he's the remnant of oh no we're being displaced the system we were exploiting is taking away from us right that's what this sounds like now you could argue there's some overlap between my complaints with YouTube propping up mainstream media, but it's kind of an inversion. Right. CNN doesn't produce content that people actually want to see and engage with, and they actually produce lies.

Yeah. So he's arguing that people are producing fake news. It's like, bro, this guy's written several fake stories and got called out for it. This guy? Yeah. This guy specifically. I've done a video crying it just sounds like he's just crying and whining about it so it's like this whole zombie system they function on was pushing shock content that was outrage and generate shares i've explained this before youtube doesn't generate shares the way facebook does on facebook when a link pops up

and it says you know dog does backflip yeah people click share and all of a sudden that pops up in the feeds of all their friends youtube doesn't have that function if if you click so you can like a video and then if people go to your youtube you know page they might see it but nobody does that yeah no one does that so maybe i don't know some people might do it facebook so i'll clarify there is a slight possibility of radicalization through youtube but it's i would argue that it's relatively negligible okay more so than without youtube but not noticeable because there was there have been several studies showing that on youtube you have to choose what you watch yeah Yeah. Facebook is different. Facebook, you get like three posts you can see on your monitor.

Right. And so when people go on and they see a video of a cop beating somebody, they click share. All of a sudden, everyone just sees it, whether they've chosen it or not. So that allows this radicalization to propagate extremely rapidly. Then these companies that have made money off exploiting the system get scared that people like me on youtube call them out so they accuse us of what they do yeah it's what it's it's projection and it's you know the problem is when you get people like me that are willing to be honest about it and not lie and cheat we're a severe disadvantage because buzzfeed lies all the time they make up fake news but because they have

venture capital and institutional power they can write fake news about me and then all of a sudden i get all of these they circle the wagons around each other they defend their venture capital interests yeah none of these people want to lose money so we are the bigger threat because we're independent individuals taking their views away going up against the machine yeah so the machine will protect itself and they and they do it to everybody. And the funniest example, I guess, is the president of the United States. Someone who is one of the most powerful people in the world.

Yeah. But they do it to him, too, because it's the same thing. He wasn't supposed to be president. He's basically taken the power, so they're panicking and trying to stop him and crush him in any way possible. They are circling the wagons.

Yeah. That's the name of the game, man. Wow. You know what's really funny about BuzzFeed? Ben Smith. I don't care. Well, the editor-in-chief. Hold on.

That's good. The editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed News. And BuzzFeed was pumping out all this crazy crap. And I'm like, man. Because I've known Ben for a little while. It's not like I've known him very well. And I'm like, why is this happening? I thought Ben was better than this.

Ben quits. He goes to the New York Times. And now he's writing some of the best stuff ever. Calling out Joe Biden. Yeah, yeah. He couldn't stand what's going on to BuzzFeed. Maybe. Clearly.

He's pulling a Tim Pool. He had a mandate. Yeah. Yeah, but now he's at the New York Times. I mean, you've got to stand somewhere. Yeah, but you're your own boss. You still left what you were. Right, right, right. But he not like he you'd think even the new york times would be more compromised but he's got presumably more freedom that's cool like it yeah what's his name ben smith

ben smith okay yeah and it's like finally some of the new york times now calling out a lot of what we all see nice and it's great like notably he called out he called out the Joe Biden defense from The New York Times. Yeah. Like, he questioned it. Okay. He also called out CNN for faking the Chris Cuomo quarantine thing. That's amazing. And I was like, wow.

That whole thing is hilarious. Yeah. Bravo. And I tweeted this, too. And this is big for me. I was like, I almost forgot what real journalism looked like. I know, right? And then, you know, he's like, hey, CNN.

He said CNN was alighting the the cuomo controversy because cuomo comes out of his basement like look i'm not quarantined anymore that video is so stupid too so stilted oh man dude you were you were caught you were caught like 30 minutes from your house bro yeah but he tweeted about it and i was like wow that's great new york times because they got a lot of bad people over there, man. Yeah, but New York Times is not the worst. I'd give them like a six out of ten. And they do a lot of good factual reporting.

Like they're one of the best. The AP, I think, is the best. The AP and PBS do a really, really good job. The problem with the New York Times is that editorially they aren't in the bag for Democrats. That means when critical political stories pop up, you can't trust what they write. When certain tech stories pop up, you can a little bit, but they're also extremely biased against Google because they

think they deserve Google's money. They're like, Google has displaced news, therefore Google should pay us. There's actually in, I'm not sure if it's in France or whatever, there's a suit where there's an issue. Google crawls a news story right okay and then if you google search there will be a box that appears that gives you the gist of the news story so what happens is the new york times will write a story google will take the information and it'll appear on google.com where they sell ads

of course and then when you see that you're like wow donald trump did a backflip moving on whereas in the past you had to go to to the New York Times to get the news. You don't have to go there anymore. Google is infringing on their market. Yeah. So you got to be careful about those biases. But, you know, there we go. At the same time, you know, Facebook is training its AI to censor hateful memes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what, man? How dare you? My memes. I think I said this about 10 years ago. 10 years ago, we were in, like, the john dillinger era of bank robbers okay you know it was like the bank robbers happened all over the place and the gangsters were there and they were like anti-heroes almost some of them were really villains and we had all these hackers doing this hacker stuff and i was like this is that age because they're

going to lock this down everything's going going to become rigid and authoritarian. And we can see it happening in real time. So my prediction would be in 10 years, there's going to be like three websites. Okay. And you're going to have your page, like, you know, like your information for your website will just be a Facebook page. Facebook, Amazon, and Google. Yep. Well, what would Google do?

Give you any information you ask it people are going to have all their information on some social profile no they're going to have neural link what's the what's this times this i already know the answer boom neural link yeah but i'm talking about websites and how we interact with the internet but that's what i'm saying it won't be the same we're going to have like think, think what Neuralink does. And that's just the base level. Imagine, like, 30 years afterwards. Like, we're going to think some information.

What kind of information do I need right now? Now I know all the information. It's like the Matrix. How do I fly that helicopter? Now I know how to fly it. In 10 years, I doubt it. Well, no, no. I'm not saying in 10 years.

I'm saying once Neuralink becomes a normal thing, and then think 10, 30 years after that. Yeah. You know? I'm not saying in 10 years i'm saying once neuro lick becomes a normal thing and then think 10 30 years after that yeah you know i'm not convinced no uh 10 or 15 years ago they were talking about those uh rfid chips you can get under your skin yeah and people were getting them and they'd wave their hand in front of a door and the door would open yeah and people still don't get them it's like i remember alex jones was like they're getting the chips very chips coming and then it never did. Because you get a phone. Yeah.

I go to my hotel, I wiggle my phone in front of the door, the door opens. We don't need, you know, implants in that capacity. Yeah. I think Neuralink, maybe, but the issue is

humans have a really difficult time implanting things. Okay. Some people do it. Most people won't do it. Did you know that you can give yourself electro sense or whatever it's called? Electroperception?

I'm not sure what it's called. No, what is it? You can take a neodymium magnet and embed it in your fingertips and then you can feel electrical waves. Very interesting. It gives you the ability to detect electrical EMF electromagnetic fields. But for what purpose, though? To stay away from it?

It's an extra sense, bro. You could put your hand on a wall and feel where the power cables are. Interesting. Yeah. Makes me think of that. It's like a platypus or an echidna. That colorblind guy that implanted this thing that he can smell colors now. What?

You ever see this? No. He actually has an implant that comes out like a little alien device that's connected to his brain. And he can like smell colors or something. That's weird. Wouldn't you want the ability to sense electrical fields? Might be useful. It's interesting.

Yeah, I don't know. It is an interesting thought. If you're looking to mount stuff in walls or you're looking for where the line is coming in, you hold your hand over and you're like, oh, there's the power cable. And then you know exactly where it is. Or you can tell if a wire is live or not you'll be like whoa that's that's live i can't touch it yeah so a lot of people have done these done done this because it's really cool you can feel like you'll put your hand you'll be like wow like it's it's a sense something you've never experienced before i'm curious as to what the perception is. So the way it works is that your fingertips are very sensitive. And so putting a magnet under the skin, when it detects, when the magnet comes

in contact with the wave, it starts putting pressure and vibrating a little bit and puts pressure on your nerve. So what I've read, and I've never done it, I know some people who have, is that it's not like touch. It's something different. It's like you can feel electricity It's weird interesting it so people know this they don't do it So you said that most most people have a problem with implants Well, what have you seen that black mirror episode where they have the contacts that record your entire life? And they can go back to any and watch anything It's like wouldn't that be like the computer of the future then or the cell phone of the future? Just the contact?

No? No, because it's hard to use. It's not an implant. They just pop it in and like, I don't know, they figure it out so that it allows oxygen to flow through. So you don't have to take it out. You just leave it in and you just have your cell phone. It's just in your eyeball. So right now, contact lenses have the problem of permeability.

Right. So that's why you take them out. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. So for those that aren't familiar with the oxygen off from your eyeball for those that aren't familiar with lenses the capillaries can grow over your eyes because your your eyes are struggling to get oxygen to you know so they need to breathe maybe they do maybe odd thing but there's a way they can do it that it's like better it's like but you know for now i know we're talking about

the argument is in the future for now it's like yeah we'd have know, for now, I know we're talking about the argument is in the future. For now, it's like, yeah, we'd have to solve that problem. Let's say we did. I wonder if it's still just a hassle. Yeah. I got my phone right here, dude. I know. You know, it's really funny.

You know, in Futurama when, you know, Lila's wearing the wristband with the screen on it. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, and there's also a video game called Commander Keen. Okay. You know Commander Keen? Mm-mm. He wore a wrist computer as well. Sure. I remember when I was little, I was like, man, that's And there's also a video game called Commander Keen. Okay. You know Commander Keen? He wore a wrist computer as well.

Sure. I remember when I was little, I was like, man, that's the future. Wrist computers. And then I got a phone, and I'm like, no one is ever going to put it on their wrist. That makes no sense. Think about what a contact phone would give you the ability to. Number one, you'd probably be able to just think. They're already doing this where you can think things, and like text comes up or whatever you tell it whatever so if you had it in your

in your eyeball you can watch whatever you want to watch you know it's just there in one eye projects it where to do that boom 3d virtual reality like you were saying like man if neural link i just plug into so we're done working Skyrim. And you're playing Skyrim, you know? But if you have contacts that actually are actually seeing. How would the contacts create a sense of touch, interact with your brain? Who knows? So the Neuralink has very, very fine wires that they have to connect. Yeah, finer than human hair, right.

So maybe in the future, one of the challenges is rejection. I'm sure Elon Musk is smart enough to know this better than I do. So I'll defer to him. But what do we do? When you're one, they put the Neuralink implant and you get a port on your neck and you can plug in. Or it could be wireless.

It's like a Wi-Fi. That's what I would assume. Wi-Fi antennas are tiny, but what powers it? Theoretically, aren't we electrical beings? Like, don't we have, I mean, couldn't we figure out a way that we power it? The radio waves themselves might be able to give it enough power to transmit signals because signals are particularly weak relative to, like, an actual electronic device. Okay. Maybe it's that simple.

Hmm. You know? But, I don't know. Yeah, who knows? We've entertained the idea of implants. Maybe the problem is their use factor wasn't enough. Like the RFID chips opening a door, who cares? Yeah, who cares?

It's not worth getting this thing, you know, and they have this big needle. They put it in and then they deposit it. That's silly. But Neuralink would be substantially more beneficial. You know what I think it might be, actually? They're talking about people who have spinal injuries.

We might see this start where someone who's paraplegic gets the implant, and then they get an electrode at the other part of the spine after the break, so the signal can jump wirelessly. I never even thought about that. And then they're healed. They can get up and walk around like normal.

Well, they'll have to relearnarn probably yeah but then the signal can travel because we've created a you know this jump a part of me thinks that he is doing this because he's afraid of ai and wants to figure out a way to make us hasn't he said that part of ai he said that oh yes i'm pretty sure he said that i don't know if he said exactly that i'm saying like joe roga the first time i thought what that he wants to make us part of AI? He doesn't think AI is good. If we're integrated with it. No, I know he's afraid of AI, but it's like Neuralink makes us part of it.

I'm pretty sure that's his argument. Oh, cool. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what he said. I didn't see his Joe Rogan article. If we're integrated with it, there's no war. There's no Terminator scenario if we are with the AI as one. If we are the AI. Yep. Interesting. yep interesting yeah scary i don't know man i mean i guess it would kind of be good you're talking you know you're you're talking like in the early stages you're at thanksgiving

with your family and you've got that one really dumb uncle or whatever okay and he's like i don't know about that it's like check and he goes wow you were right hmm yeah or it's like no arguments ever again and that's what the future of the internet is go ahead and check there would still be opinions though because i just checked i just checked all that facts all the facts on that but opinions wouldn't change based on that because that's about you're right you're right the opinions wouldn't change right there would still be ideas out there well you're right that donald trump did say that but i don't think it's a big deal and then they would argue what do you mean i don't think it's a big deal of course it's a big deal we can't have a perspective yep yeah and that wouldn't change you grew up or whatever but at

least we'd have the facts together so when you say something like obamagate and they go that's a debunked conspiracy theory you're like no it's not but look let's be honest man we can pull up on our phones yeah people still don't want to do it that's true yeah you know you know do a lot when people are like, when I'm talking to somebody and they're like, arguing with me, I'll just be like, I'll just pull up on my phone and I will say nothing. And I'll be like, here you go. And they'll be like, well, I don't know if I believe that. I'm like, I don't care if you believe it or not. Whatever.

Hope you guys cover something light tonight. Tim, thought about transferring some of your trophies from your old sets walls to this one. No, no, we actually took them down.

It's actually in the same space, but it's a different, I don't know. Different world. One thing I do want to do is I want to get some, like, writing or some kind of art. We've talked about guitars, maybe some skateboards with art on it or something. Yeah, the problem is these are actually, we're in a completely new room, but these are still the same walls. I actually built them on another

panel. They're removable. There's six of them, five of them. Yeah, so we can take these, move them around, switch them around if we want to, but they don't hold weight. So we can't actually hang anything on them. And the wood ones are really heavy. They are really heavy, actually, because that's actually flooring. It's cool, though.

Yeah, it came out well. Yeah, the way I had it designed before was kind of something I threw up in my room and didn't really make as much sense for like a... We're up in the production value, but I do think we could use some kind of definition, at least in some capacity.

Skateboard. Yeah, something. Maybe. Yeah, character. Maybe one day. I like the guitar. Mark G says, be honest, Tim. You canceled last night's stream because you were too hyped for the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 trailer that came out yesterday.

I already pre-ordered it. No, yesterday was just like a brutal news day where the news was like, ugh. It was horrible. Yeah, I came down. I'm like, hey, you guys ready to get going on the like, what are we going to talk about? And they're like, I was like, my eyes were bloodshot. And I was like, what? No.

It was horrible. No. And then I crawled into the rejuvenation chamber and sealed it, filled up with biofluid. And I was floating for the next six hours. And the new beanie came down. All these connectors had like and just like Gregory says Adam has gone full Messiah.

Most certainly. Is it the hair? What do you guys think of my hair? I'm loving it. Yeah. No beanie needed. I be ripping them says face it. Extreme partisanship is hurting America. Well you gotta stop drinking all that lactose man. It's true though. Man he be ripping him, says Faceit. Extreme partisanship is hurting America. Well, you got to stop drinking all that lactose, man.

It's true, though. Man, he be ripping him. Jack, thanks for the super chat. Graf Von Tirol says CNN calls Obamagate a conspiracy theory. Meanwhile, they unironically peddled Russiagate and consider Greta Thunberg an expert in the coronavirus. CNN needs to get. This is the problem. CNN needs to go away.

But YouTube's propping them up. Maybe YouTube needs to go away This is the problem. CNN needs to go away. But YouTube's propping them up. Maybe YouTube needs to go away, too. No. I kind of said it under my breath because I don't really... Because that's our platform. No, because other platforms exist, too. The problem is that YouTube

has strangled them out of the market. Oh, okay. That's a good point. GM says, Hey, Tim. Been following since Timcast IRL began. Love it. Don't trust China.

China is a-hole. That is a fact. That's a great video. Ceylon Blue says, hey, Tim, been following since Timcast IRL began. Love it. Don't trust China. China is a-hole. That is a fact. That's a great video. Ceylon Blue says, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 remaster September 4th with original soundtrack for the most part. Also, BuzzFeed is pulling back from politics after cuts. Really? Yeah, right. I thought they had a bunch of cuts.

Sure they are. But it's because they're going to do rage bait culture war crap. And yell at the clouds. And it seems like they're losing their losing their their hold on on their you know fame or notoriety you know they buzzfeed well ben smith quit maybe that's what it is yep they're like oh man jumping ship let's see cordy says to the tune of bill nye's intro tim pool is a real cool dude tim tim tim tim i could actually do the tim. Tim. Like Bill Nye. Yeah, why didn't you go for it? Because it was funnier

that I read it monotone. Tim. Tim. I was really looking forward to that. Go on. Eric says, what's your guys feeling on reopening the economy? I think we do it with social distancing. We don't. We don't have concerts. We don't have conventions. And I think we'll be fine. We can be smart. Yep.

LambdaCore says, my birthday was the 8th and I haven't been up to watch the streams and super chat this. And I haven't been. Hope everyone is doing well. Stay safe, everyone.

Absolutely. Appreciate it. Happy birthday. Appreciate it. Artemis Fowl says, Tim Pool, I believe you need to rein in your bias

when it comes to the Arbery shooting case. You keep implying the men are murderers. Stop using deserve. Shootings are justified, not deserved. I keep implying the men are murderers. Stop using deserve. Shootings are justified, not deserved. I keep implying the men are murderers. Wait, what? You know what? And that story is so confusing. Conservatives are all on. I had like I got tagged

in this red red state debunk. OK, because I did a video. There was a local news report that said the footage appeared to show Arbery several times at night. Yeah. According to one screen filmed from a cell phone video that someone sent me, ABC claimed that the family denied it. I couldn't find the article anywhere. I couldn't find anyone asserting it. I couldn't find anything countering the point made by the local journalists who pointed out the video. But there is a red state said that they were the one source i found saying that the man is different but i'm like you know man what will i gotta wait for more information on this one but i did that's the thing i don't know anything about it everything i'm seeing as

i said earlier it's like i see people over here and people over here spouting whatever you know information they've heard bias but it's like everything i'm looking at isn't real information it's like what they took and like yeah that must be true so i'm going to yell it to the sky and it's like the weirdest thing is the conservatives defending this i don't know any truth of it yeah it's totally normal to go into a construction site all the time like what i mean i worked construction and that's not true at all. Right. If anybody in the trades saw someone that they didn't know because all the electricians, they know all the HVAC guys. They all know each other. So it's like if they closed out a construction site and someone's in there that they don't know, they know that you're not supposed to be there.

It's like you're probably looking for copper, looking for tools that were left out. I don't know. Copper was a big thing. That's shady. How are they talking like it's a normal there was who who's saying that it's normal to go to a construction site like a ton of conservatives saying it doesn't make any sense there was weird there was a construction site in chicago and a bunch of skateboarders looted it for tons of building materials yep that's because that's pretty much what happened they were building ramps and stuff with it they were like free stuff

yeah and they went in and i were like, free stuff. Yeah. And they went in. And I'm like, that's why. It's Chicago. Maybe it's an urban. I don't know. I don't know, man. Anyway, the point I was making before about the story is that the last.

I did a ton of searches on this. People are sharing a video where someone took their phone and filmed their TV. And then you hear someone say, the family denies this man. And I'm like, bro, I can't use that as a source. Not enough. I have a local CBS affiliate straight up saying, there's footage uncovered that appears to show the man. And I'm like, that's what I went off of. So Red State apparently has put this out.

Red State tends to be, and I mean no disrespect, a conservative commentary website. So I took it into consideration. I added a note to the video that it appears to be it might not but until we have a bigger update on you know and we might not ever know it's like bro it's a rock and a hard place for me because so many people are biased and trying to influence my coverage on this if i came out and said oh i guess it's not him and i have no source for it then i'm in an equally bad position where i'm gonna get a ton of people criticizing me for you know what i mean yeah so. So it's difficult, you know? We should just not touch it because we don't know enough truth.

Yeah, we've got to wait for it. I want to know the truth. Right, and that's what I've been saying the whole time. Right. The gist of it is... We don't know enough. Yeah. Steven says, Adam, do a Jesus pose for us.

How does Jesus pose? I guess he prays. I don't know. I think that's not Jesus. I don't care. I don't know. That's the soy Jesus. That's the soy version. I don't know Jesus. I don't care. That's the soy Jesus. That's the soy version.

I don't know Jesus. I'm not religious. Antonio. Antonio says, I'm glad you guys are back. Thank you. Me too. Thank you. Timothy, thanks for becoming a member.

That is a great name. Thank you. Coil says, Tim, your Ben Shapiro the other night was epic. Please give us more. Well, it's got to come out naturally. That's right. Can't force it. Mad people are hitting me up.

I love it. Dude, he nailed Ben Shapiro. I'm like, all right. All right. He's good at impressions. That's right. Can't force it. Mad people are hitting me up. I love it. Like, dude, he nailed Ben Shapiro. I'm like, all right. All right. He's good at impressions. Sometimes. Sometimes. No, you're good.

Andrew says, hear me out. Joe Rogan, Tim Pool, Alex Jones, Elon Musk, one podcast, once in a lifetime, JRE Beyond, E Thunert, Thundercast. Wow, that would be insane. That'd be so fun. I mean, I'd be down to be on it, but I feel like I'm outclassed by all of them. I don't know. I'd be like, why would I be on that?

It's so much fun. It would be really loud in that room. Oh, my gosh. And I'd be sitting there like, it, but I feel like I'm outclassed by all of them. I'd be like, why would I be on that? It's so much fun. It would be really loud in that room. And I'd be sitting there like, no, it would be Alex. Yeah. It's true. It's true. His volume's always at 11. You know what's crazy about Alex Jones, man?

I was watching a video of him from the late 90s. Okay. He was a normal guy. Oh, really? Yeah, it was some clip where someone asked him... No, no, no, this was from the early 2000s. Someone asked him about 9-11. And he was like, the caller calls in and then says something like, how could you believe any of this stuff? And his response was like, listen, I got the Associated Press.

And I got a report here that says, and he starts naming people. And he's like, now, let me ask you, like, what do you think about that news report? Because right there it says, and I'm like. That seems pretty average. That sounds like he's actually looking at the news and asking questions. Now you turn on his stuff and he's like, you know, I don't know. I will eat my neighbors. Yeah.

I will eat my neighbors. Yeah. I understand the point he was making, but he really is very, very different. Well, it's almost like he figured out that crazy stuff gets more hits like like other people have figured out yeah it seems to be kind of a thing nowadays crazy stuff gets shared my neighbors yeah like wow i would never eat human yeah he said that full well knowing that it was going to be exactly everywhere and i think it's because when they banned him he became like he he needs to find a way to get into the mainstream again.

To get that attention, to get that press. Boom. Eat his neighbors. But it's crazy. Somebody made a meme about this. Okay. Where it showed him one of his earliest TV show, public access things. Yeah.

And it was like a normal question. The meme was literally just showing his progression. It was like the government is lying to us and we need to challenge the authority. The next one was like the government is staging, you know, terror attacks against its own people. The next one is the government is actually alien lizard people. And the last one was like 5G, COVID, aliens, interdimensional beings, cell phone towers. And like, yeah, it's just been like a it's gone nuts. Crazy.

Yeah. Let's read. Let's read more. Toolbox says AdamCast spilled the beans. Smash Bros. Who do you play? Any characters you wish were in? Cloud you play on stream sometime. Adam, Lydia and Ein vs. Tim. So

I in Smash Bros. He ruined it for me. I ruined it for you? Yeah. Why? Yeah you ruined it for me. That's right. Just straight ruined it for me bro. Oh how? Yeah, you ruined it for me. How's that? That's right. Just straight ruined it for me, bro. Oh, how? Smash Brothers? Yeah, I'll explain. He's so good that when I try to play...

Oh, we go... This camera? Okay. Yeah, yeah. You got a story. I tried a few times. He wrecked me. It was just, you know, going up against a pro.

You're a pro. No way, dude. You're a pro, dude. Absolutely not. Yeah, sure. You're not getting paid by Nintendo or anything. No, no, a team no way compared to me you were yeah you got to watch these these anyway smash bros videos to answer he he specifically said adam cast so this is for me here i don't play smash brothers i mean i don't i stopped playing nintendo stuff i the last thing i

got was like 3ds and all i did was get a bunch of nostalgic games that I used to play on my old Game Boy. But I would play it but I just PvP games in general tend to get boring for me. I like multiplayer games going out and doing stuff as a co-op and that's all it is just beating

each other up over and over and over again. I can't do those games. I just am so over it. You gotta watch Pro Smash Bros. It is some of the most ridiculous smash bro yeah it's got a good flow it's crazy so i i used to in melee i played marth and uh when they then you know i've typically preferred playing marth but i think they like he's not that good anymore so i play lucina okay fox uh fox man, man I go nuts I think I played Cloud, didn't I? Wasn't Cloud a? Yeah, probably, yeah Cloud's in there

Yeah, and he's pretty good, right? Oh, is it Zelda who's pretty good? No I don't know, I picked some character, you're like, oh they're pretty good I thought it was Cloud I saw Cloud, I'm like, yes Cloud is, you know Powerful, right?

Is that what you're... Maybe that's what you're saying? Kind of. If two people who've never played before, one person picks Cloud and one person picks, like, I don't know, Mario. Anything else? Cloud's really good for someone who's never played. But Cloud's got a really bad recovery.

Oh, okay. So it depends on the map you're playing. I typically like to play in just straight up, not Battlefield, Omega mode. So basically Final Destination. Yeah, okay. And just a flat Battlefield. Okay. I typically like to play in just straight up, not Battlefield, Omega mode. So basically Final Destination. Okay. And just a flat Battlefield. But Cloud's got a really weak recovery.

So he's got really good recovery, but he's not one of the top. I think Lucina is in the top tier. Okay. But it depends. They change it sometimes. So from playing Marth, I prefer Lucina. But with Fox, Fox is kind of weak, but man, I can lock people down like crazy. Just like zoop, zoop, zo man i can lock people down like crazy just like yeah totally and then nobody wants to play anymore so i just i don't play yeah but definitely not pro man i am not good at that game i'm like someone who's

played it for a long time but if i played any pro i'd be done in 30 seconds and i'd be like yeah would not be would not Word. LaSalle says, Hello, guys. Hi. Hello. Chuck Morris says, Do as told or I will shut the Matrix down. Don't do that.

You could. The Shadowed Archivist says, Love the content, Tim and Co. Definitely not for anything serious, but you guys should take a look at Jreg for a laugh. He referenced you in a video about the dangers of the alt-center rabbit hole. Oh, that's us. The alt-center.

The alt-center. Scary. The alt-center. What is that's us. The Alt Center. The Alt Center. Scary. The Alt Center. What does the Alt mean? Like, we're literal center. Yeah, I guess, yeah. Center. Oh, I'm slightly to the right, and you're slightly to the left,

so that would be alternatives, I guess. Alternatives? No, that's what I came up with. Sure. I don't know. Center, whatever. Yeah, why not? Okay.

Carlos says hello from the Dominican Republic. Nice. What up? Hey, cool. Do you guys have mungu there? You ever have mungu? Boiled mashed plantain. Yeah. Center. Yeah, why not? Okay. Carlos says hello from the Dominican Republic. Nice. What up? Do you guys have mungu there? You ever have mungu? Boiled mashed plantains? You talked... We've talked about it.

I love that stuff. We even got plantains. Did we even... Did we ever make it? We never made it happen. That's a shame. I know. We'll make it happen.

Pickled onions on top. Fried cheese. Yeah. Chow. Where are we at? Where are we at? You can put chow on there. Technically Right says, book recommendation for you guys.

The Defenders of Liberty, Human Nature, Individualism, and Property Rights in Parvini by N. Parvini. It's an exploration and analysis of the history and development of classical liberalism. Cool.

Very cool. I wonder if Sargon's read it. James Wallace says, Toss a coin to my beanie man and soy Jesus. Thank you very much, but not to you, Lydia. You get nothing.

You get no coin. No coin. Matthew, well, neither is adam right now oh hey what the heck come on hey well i'm soy jesus matthew says bill clinton gave china the rocket technology in 1999 great wow it's bill clinton's fault yeah yeah a lot of that was a joke cal miller says netflix just announced an epstein documentary that is going to be released soon. Any bets they will imply that Trump is connected to him? They already had a clip of Trump and Epstein in the trailer, yet nothing with Clintons. Oh, of course they will.

So weird. It's so annoying how obvious the manipulation is right now as we go into the election. I can tell you this. I won't be watching that. I mean, I just watch reruns of Family Guy. I like documentaries, but, you know.

Let's see. William says, Joe Rogan talked about moving to Texas if C.A. L.A. County keeps things locked down for much longer. Joe, Elon, and maybe Tim in Texas. We've talked about Texas, man. I like Texas. Texas is good. I have the cowboy hat. It's far from everywhere. That's the only thing about Texas. It's becoming a weird political place. the only thing about texas it's it's

becoming a weird political place it is isn't it yeah that's why i was like i don't know west virginia man but it'd be cool i mean there's a there's a bunch of like there's a bunch of people down there like crowder's down there glenn back the blaze is down there jacob reynolds says should i start with a longboard for skateboarding you know know what? This is what I tell everyone. Just go into a skate shop and stand on all the boards. Longboards are significantly easier to understand your balance.

You have more, you can spread your stance out more. And I would suggest, you know, yeah, it is easier. If you want a skateboard, like trick skateboarding, like the classic skateboarding, don't ever get a longboard because you're going to get used to the board that you're riding.

And it's better to get one board and stick with it because you'll just become better on that board. So if you're planning on just skating around distance wise, just, you know, scooting around the neighborhood, then get a longboard. It's a lot easier. You can get like a hybrid board that's bigger, but you can still trick it. They're out there. They exist. Dude, I've seen videos of people doing hybrid boards. It's built like a short board, but it's a long board.

Yeah, I've got one. Getting handrails. Yeah, Arbor has one. It's called the Shakedown, and it's great. It's a great board. Get some handrails on that thing. It's massive. You feel like a little kid again.

Yeah, they're huge. It feels huge, yeah yeah but they're great word soft wheels here here it comes luke says tim with all the quote wrongs you said today reminds me of the orange man just admit it and vote for trump well well hold on i keep trying hold up lydia are you gonna vote for trump i have not decided who i'm gonna vote for and i've already the only thing i've decided is that whoever i vote for nobody else is gonna know you're not gonna I'm going to vote for. And I've already, the only thing I've decided is that whoever I vote for, nobody else is going to know. You're not going to tell anybody if you vote for anybody? Nope. Oh.

I won't tell anybody if I don't vote at all. And you said you would vote for Trump. Yeah, I would. Yeah? Yeah, I don't like what the Democrats are doing right now. That's a good point. I don't like Biden at all. I want to understand what's happening, and I don't understand what he's saying.

I have a feeling they're going to switch him out with someone that didn't earn their place there and that that's a good point it's not okay with me at all that's not what we're about that's probably the best point i've heard about why not to support any democrat if they switch out joe biden for cuomo they have knifed bernie in the back yeah that's the entire of course they are. The entire democracy. Like, oh, no, we're just going to put this person in because we think he has a chance. It's like, what? We think he has a chance? Like, no, no, no, no. Who's we?

DNC. If there was ever a reason to get me to vote for Trump, the Democrats have found it. Yeah. Because I hate the idea of voting for the lesser of two evils. But to allow them to continue to subvert the democratic process. Yep. They cannot be allowed to get away with what they've done with Russiagate, with Adam Schiff's lying. They can't.

And more. We learn more and more every day. Like now Joe Biden is implicated in the unmasking. He lied on TV about whether he knew about it. And it's like ridiculous. So is it a punishment vote where it's like, but but you know what? I'm not I'm not. I don't have TDS, right? I don't think Donald Trump is the is the end of the world or some kind of like antichrist or anything.

I think he's another guy is another president. Yeah, he's actually a lot better than some of the other presidents we have. But I personally he would not be my choice. However, do I have to do I have to do a vote of actually I don't even think it's necessarily fair to call Trump one of the ev evils he's just not somebody i ultimately agree with on you know certain policy issues yeah but for the most part the democrats haven't made any good arguments as to why i shouldn't agree with him on china tariffs the building the wall or anything like this yeah so it leaves me in a position where i'm like well i didn't used to you know be on board Well, I'm not on board with more conservative, you know, positions, probably like about taxing social social issues, maybe, you know, pro-life, pro-choice kind of stuff. But for the for the most part, I think because the Democrats have gone so far off the rails, the conservatives have now built a coalition where you actually have pro LGBTLGBT, pro-social issues. You've got people like Ariel Scarcella, who is not necessarily conservative, but you have the walk away campaign where you actually have people who are like what the liberals are now in the Trump camp.

So the issue, I guess, for me is for the most part is I've already said over and over again, it's been easier than ever to consider Trump as the right choice for one reason. You're just teasing everybody now. Not even. It's because people want me to wave a flag and i'm not going to do it i never would that's true commit i mean i'm not going to go out and like put a trump sign anywhere like i mean figuratively it's like he we need the economy back and you made a good point he's good he did a great job bringing it up that's the why why wouldn't he do another good job instead of some random person that's going to come in and have to relearn everything or not necessarily relearn but you know for three years the economy was improving and better than

ever and now that because this virus hit and it's not trump's fault it's the low it's the governors who wanted everything shut down it's the governors trump has no power that's the 10th amendment so who better to fix things than the guy who already proved that he could make the economy work? That's the best argument possible, which, like I said in several videos, why it's easier than ever and why I'm leaning towards absolutely voting for him. And more importantly, I said this, I think I said it today, the scary thing about I will never vote for a Democrat, at least for the time being. It's maybe in a few years. And the reason is you look at what they did with their power. They lied to the American people.

They manipulated people. They're trying to put in insane policies that have gone so far to the left. There's no cohesive strategy anymore. And so if you actually believe in the policy of the Democrats from like the year 2010, the year 2000, the Republicans have won all those people over. So right now, it seems like, yeah. So independents are fairly split, but they do lean by about four points, according to one of the most recent polls in favor of Trump. And the Democrats, according to Gallup, we've now seen a

decrease in the amount of people identifying as liberal and an increase in the amount of people identifying as conservative. So I have no problem saying like, look, Joe Rogan came on, say he'd rather vote for Trump over Biden. Yeah, I completely agree. Yeah. I don't know what's going to happen come November. So, like I said, I lean towards that. It's been easier than ever to say, but I'm not the kind of person. I'm the milquetoast fence hitter. You will know when something happens where I'm like, it must be done. But there's still third parties. There's still things to talk about. And I hate voting for someone I don't I don't want to vote for simply because I really don't like the other party. I agree with you that the other issue is the Republicans need to do something about Mitch

McConnell, people like Lindsey Graham. There's there are a lot of Republicans who have sat on their hands and done nothing. And as far as I can tell, are probably part of the establishment problem that aren't being, you know, so we'll see what happens. That I definitely agree with. But the other issue, too, is like everything's changing. The Republicans right now, the majority of them, like the people I know that are Trump supporters, I'm like, bro, you were liberal. You know what I mean?

Like there are people I know. Hi. Right. Right. Exactly. And it's crazy you know uh i don't want to name anybody because i don't it should be up to them but there's some people i'm talking to who are like as lefty as they come and they're like i don't know if i've become conservative or the left has gone nuts and i'm like does it matter

yeah the left went nuts that's what happened but then you end up with people who are regular liberal-minded people who are now like my only option is trump yeah the problem i have is like people don't seem to realize how trump really is very very different in terms of the professionalism the character and to be honest the stability of of the office right okay but boy was obama bad boy it was obama really bad and so was bush trump is nowhere near as bad as they were trump's got a lot of problems he's increased drone strikes the foreign policy stuff i've always been really mad about yeah but it's like joe biden would bring back the the the failures of the i don't know i wasn't political pretty much my whole life you know i was just to kind of live my own way you know and this these past three months it's been nothing but politics we were supposed

to do a show about anything but politics i know and sure enough you know now we're doing this it's because of the lockdown man yeah right of course we were like sonic the hedgehog dude awesome and then it's like now the front page of every news story is like nothing but the fight over lockdown and i know yeah yeah yeah wow so you know what man the way they they rigged it against yang that like yeah you know they rigged it against yang is that true and tulsi oh totally they turned his microphone off yeah yeah yeah we talked about that what donald trump would do they did to him so it's almost like i can definitely feel the rage where I would love to give them comeuppance by seeing Trump win again. Yeah.

But I am very, very strict for myself on like, I want to vote for someone because I'm like, this is the best person for the job. Yeah. I've already said a million times, Trump right now, there's no one better. In terms of the economy, that's what I mean. There's a bunch of issues in foreign policy that I think they're better people. Okay. Notably Tulsi. Right.

But she's not in the running. But it's not even that. I can vote for her if to what if what if biden chose tulsi as his vp nah biden is the obama administration the obama administration bloop kids so you're there's no way you would vote for biden never okay no way first of all the dude's nuts right i can i can agree with that tulsa funny i i think one of the biggest problems we have is that a lot of the fighting in this country comes down to how we waste resources on this weird conflict in these foreign countries. And it is really, really difficult. We waste a lot more resources on everything just as simple being humans. That's a huge problem that we have. I think there's probably better ways to

deal with the Middle East situation, the conflict with China. So I'll tell you what, man. Man, it really is tough because character really does matter. And I've said this over and over again. The Democrats found someone that said very similar things to Trump in regards to policy ideas, securing our borders, bolstering our economy, dealing with the threat of China. And he didn't, you know, he wasn't this bombastic entertainer type who is like, you know, just constantly Trump. Yeah, he probably went on a landslide. So the question is, does Trump's character really matter that much? And I don't think I think, no, I mean, kind of, but not not enough.

So right now, I would say we'll see what happens. I think based on the pandemic, Trump is the best choice. Name any other politician in the running who's got the economic experience and the proof that they fixed the economy. I have no idea. Yep. You can hate Trump all you want. And I got issues with the way he behaves. I think he's funny.

He's a great entertainer. He is. But it comes to the economy. And I think there's a lot of people who are scared to admit it. I mentioned this before. I saw a guy at the airport who said, I wouldn't invite him to my house for dinner, but the money's good. And I think a lot of these people are secret Trump voters. They don't want to admit that they're willing to pick someone they personally don't like because they get good money from the economy. Like he fixes the economy. For me, it's simple like the economy isn't some nebulous system of making rich people and getting people

cash so they can laugh and go party it's so that we can make the machine work like a well-oiled machine yeah and under trump we had the best numbers of our lives according to jim cramer he was also right about the problem of manufacturing with china and now the pandemic it's like listen the left has been wrong on way too many things yeah they've made no arguments against Trump's policies I mean they I'm being hyperbolic they've made very few little very very few arguments they call him a bigot they call him a racist they call him far right none of it makes sense and so I'm asking like are you gonna are you gonna they're not gonna offer me anything and i think that's the problem i think you've got to accept that trump is a potty mouth who's a mean guy his own words but man is he better than he's up to it then what else you get the problem with uh so one of the problems with

biden the reason i would never vote for him brock obama says he had a scandal free scandal free presidency brock obama killed a 16 year old american he killed a bunch of american citizens without charge or trial you'd think that would be a big scandal, but the press was defending him. Imagine if Trump did that? Trump did it. He killed Americans too? One of the first things that happened when Trump's gone to office was he ordered a commando raid, which resulted in the death of an eight-year-old American girl. I believe it was Abdulrahman's little sister. Never heard of that. So these are things that I have serious issues with. Now, some people have tried explaining this away to me saying that, look, you know, Trump isn't a was Abdulrahman's little sister. I never heard of that. So these are things that I have serious issues with. Okay.

Now, some people have tried explaining this away to me, saying that, look, you know, Trump isn't a foreign policy guy, so he was being pressured by these bad advisors, and he was surrounded by deep state and blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, I'm willing to accept that if he does something about this. Okay. And then when he announced he was going to start pulling troops out of Syria, and then you saw the media really went after him.

I was like, these are good things. Yeah. And so perhaps it's it's aside aside from his character. There's a lot of really good things about Trump that we haven't seen in a long time. But more importantly, first of all, I hate voting for people. I hate I hate being like I got behind this person because you never know what they're going to do. Yeah. The problem right now is we are facing a serious economic crisis. And we got a guy who was in office for years who gave us a great economy i really don't know what else you could you could ask for so this is the point i'm making

i am leaning absolutely in favor of voting for trump i am not we're not there yet we're six months out yeah but we'll see we'll see how it plays out and when i know for sure like when i come out of that voting booth if I said we gotta do this then I'll be like I went and did it I just think there's you gotta be careful man you know why I'm

tepid on this because I voted for Obama the first time and then you know what he did? he blew up a village of women and children and I had to go to my friends and be like I supported that and that's why I'm And I had to go to my friends and be like, I supported that. And that's why I'm like, I don't want to play that game, dude. You fooled me once.

So it was a drone strike, like 23 women and children. And then all my friends who are dancing around, I'm like, so now do I have to come here and be like, the people I knew who didn't vote for Obama were like, see what you've done? And I'm like, but would McCain have done something else? And they're like, no excuse. And I'm like, there is no excuse. We don't know what McCain would have done. Obama did it.

Obama did way worse. But they're saying it's your fault, though. No, it was just like the point was like, you voted for it. And it reminds me of what George Carlin said. That's virtue signaling. Remember what George Carlin said? He was like, people always blame me saying you didn't vote. It's your fault.

No, you voted for him. It's your fault. And I'm like, I agree. Like, that's why I me saying, you didn't vote. It's your fault. I know you voted for him. It's your fault. And I'm like, I agree. Like, that's why I in 2016, I didn't vote. I was like, I don't know, man. I don't want to be involved in this. But I think regardless of your feelings on Trump, the economy is really important. We've got people who are who are in trouble.

It's like one of the most important things we need to get going again right now. It's like if we don't, so many people are going to die. They think the coronavirus is bad like no and when the food stops coming and people start killing each other over food that's a that's gonna be what's next if we don't get the economy going so all i can think it's like we need to get this economy going what who's good for the economy what trump he did a good job with the economy it's like i was never really a trump fan you You know, I don't know Biden. But anytime I hear him speak, I'm like, oh, stop speaking, dude. No, just stop, please.

The wall thing is funny. The build the wall, the big, beautiful wall from sea to shining sea. And I roll my eyes. I'm like, yeah, we were watching family. You see that clip from Family Guy earlier? We were talking about this stuff. Well, this is funny. They they were in Mexico.

OK, like the Griffins with Quagmire and then consuela helps them escape okay and then they're like thanks consuela and they're like now how far to america and she's like this is texas and then they're like what and quagmire goes wait a minute you mean we just walked into america there was nothing there we just literally walked in he's like come on guys politics aside we agree this is a problem right and then they all look at him and the scene cuts. Yeah. I'm like, what was this? Like Seth MacFarlane just coming straight up being like, why is there no.

So, yeah, there's a lot of bombastic, hyperbolic, silly. I roll my eyes at. But now, man, we need that economy. We do. We do. We need it. So we'll see how things play out. But that's that's what I've said before.

And it's funny because, like, a lot of Trump people act like I've not said this. I'm like, I said this three months ago. We'll see how it plays out. Man, we really got to get to these Super Chats. Holy cow, do we have to get to these Super Chats? Yeah, we're not going to make it, because it's a good episode, though. It was good fun. It was very fun.

All right, where are we at? Graf Fontero says, How General Flynn is being railroaded is disgusting. Time to put a kibosh on the whole circus and pardon him. Face it. Democrats. Face it, Democrats. Russiagate is the political journalistic equivalent of the Piltdown Man.

I don't know. I don't know what that is. Yeah, maybe. King Mad Hatter says, can you explain to a non-American how you can drone on and on about freedom but can't have chickens? I can have 200 ducks chickens before government gets involved. I have six ducks. I know. Two words. New Jersey. I have chickens. I can have 200 ducks chickens before government gets involved. I have six ducks. I know!

Two words. New Jersey. I want chickens. Me too. The Grizzly says, what's wrong with Michigan? That's a rather simple answer. Detroit is what's wrong with Michigan.

I'm from there. Out of state in Florida. May move here permanently. The thing is that Whitmer's making the entire state locked down because of Detroit. That's what it is in most states.

That makes sense. New York City goes bad. Lock the whole state locked down because of detroit that's what it is in most states that makes sense new york city goes bad lock the whole state down because they can and then new jersey like right across like newark on the other side or jersey city it's like it's the same metro man well it's funny because jersey is almost i mean i know there's a lot of like foresty areas but there's so many suburbs here yeah the suburbs of philadelphia and suburbs of new york city and it's just like one big suburb state almost yeah you know where all the people But there's so many suburbs here. The suburbs of Philadelphia and suburbs of New York City. And it's just like one big suburb state almost. Yeah. You know, where all the people commute.

They commute down to D.C. probably from here. Yep. Yeah, we live in the suburbs of big cities. Kind of makes sense. Yeah. Big Al says, Average age of COVID deaths in most places are higher than life expectancy of human beings. 90% over 60, 90% underlying conditions. Fact check me. No, I'm pretty sure that's correct.

Nope. Nope. Says if that 40 foot pipe fell from outer space, why is it so straight? Good question. Yeah. Doesn't make any sense. Ads. Even though areas like Kalamazoo has a grand total of 11 cases since the start of the outbreak, a lot of rural counties are starting to rise up. The outcome will be the same with California and New York. Violent uprising than a full civil war. We'll see. We'll see about that.

But we did have a story where armed militia are blocking a bar saying the police will not arrest this barbershop. I'm sorry, not a bar, a barbershop. Yeah, in Michigan. Right. Yeah, they're like no dice. Yeah, the 77-year-old was like, I'm going to open my barbershop. Keep it open, whatever. That's crazy.

There are parts. I was reading something. I can't remember which state, but it's very similar. The entire state has no cases and they lock down. There's like one city with like a small handful of cases. So they lock down rural parts that have almost no contact with other parts of the state. The weirdest thing. Yeah.

Power. Yep. Ella Mondorius says, hey, Tim, do you think that Democrats are aware that they're hindering their chances of reelection by talking about permanent lockdowns? Or would they be safe from zombies in the apocalypse? I think they must be trying to help Trump. It's the only thing i can think of yeah like like everything i just said in my rant about what they're doing

they were like the dnc is like we really need to make sure trump wins biden yeah there you go yeah i will see i guess agman says calling it now that chinese rocket was carrying covid 20 or super corona luckily the madeChina quality saved us all. There you go. James says, so hopefully the Space Force isn't going to have to be a glorified trash cleanup service. There is so much junk up there. That's true.

Definitely. That's probably will. Really bad. They probably will. Michelle, thanks for the super chat. Jerry says, so what you're saying, something made in China falls apart? That's not rocket science.

Ha ha, get it? Love it. I get it. Carl says, earmarked for van maintenance appreciate it we do have to do maintenance after that big trip shedek x says tim here's some trump bucks and have you heard buzzfeed shut their doors in australia and uk it's only a matter of time when they close in the u.s whoa oh you haven't heard that maybe that's why ben left yeah maybe people were speculating like are you leaving because it's collapsing? And he was like, no, no, no.

It's just an opportunity. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Golden Parade. Like, the people at the top get the warning, like, go, go, go. Take the job. Take the job. Yep.

All right. Where are we at? Meximan says, LA County is still freezing evictions and just gave themselves right of first refusal on defaulted properties. This is a straight up land grab. Wow. That's what they're doing, man. Whoa.

Alex Aiello says, Tim, keep an eye on Michigan tomorrow. There is going to be another protest and Antifa is going to be counter protesting. Wait, wait. Antifa is going to be protesting in favor of the government? What?

What? That doesn't make any sense. Yeah. Pro fat? Protifa? Wait, what? Pro. What? No, what? Pro, what pro? No, it wouldn't be Pro Tifa.

It would be Pro Fash? It's still funny. What? What? Pro Fash. Pro Fash. Oh, that's funny. Check Detroit News.

Whitmer outlawed brandishing weapons and changed the definition to include open carry. Wow. Christian, thanks for the super chat. Bobcat says, the rods from God is more of a bunker buster than a city buster. Also, can you talk about the disappearing mail-in ballots? I did see that story a few days ago, but we don't have anything pulled up on it. Kojima Fire says, this is a question for the Beanie Bros. As it starts to warm up here, all I have are winter beanies.

Could you recommend any light ones for me? The DC Clap Beanie is one that I often use. Go to skate shops. Skateboarders wear beanies in the summer because they're really thin. There's also surf beanies. I actually don't really wear beanies that often. You're just trying to get with the show.

I was. It's true. I saw your beanie and I was so jealous. I have a beanie. It's mostly for just keeping the hair out of my face. I usually just tie it back and forget it. When I'm getting serious like today. It's just laziness, honestly.

There's one trick that's always eluded me. I can do crazy tricks, man. I can do nollie, half hard flip, late flips. I can do a fakie hard flip, like fakie ghetto birds. I can do late flips, but frontside flips have always... I can do a switch frontside flip, nollie backside flip, fakie frontside flip, but regular frontside flips. You landed it today.

I'll count it. It was really bad. I did one yesterday. You landed it. So I argue I can do it, but it's always eluded me. You landed it. I had to get serious.

The beanie came off. It was interesting. He took the beanie off. I was mad. He was focused. I saw it, but then he landed it, though. So when we're skating, periodically, I have to drain the beanie. He does. mad. He was focused. I saw it, but then he landed it, though. So, when we're skating,

periodically, I have to drain the beanie. He does. I'm telling you, man, skating without something blocking the sweat, it's like in your eyes, in your face. Yeah, I'm constantly having to wipe my glasses down. I wish I had contacts. That's why I skate in contacts. Because I would love to skate in contacts. Alright, let's see. Where are we at?

Ogre says, the rod weapon you're talking about is called the Rods from God. These Air Force force rods from god could hit with the force of a nuclear weapon yeah jeremiah says hey lydia if you knit apparently well-knit masks are said to be better at excluding pathogens than textile masks if you want to make some forecast very cool cool saint grizzly says please do a video game stream or gameplay videos like PewDiePie. We'll watch it. Tony Hawk. When that demo comes out. We can do it.

It'll be so fun. We should just make a new channel for it. Wait, I thought you said the demo was out. No. Oh, it's not out. I thought it was out. They said pre-order the demo now. And I'm like, yes. And I pre-ordered it.

And I was like, we'll let you know when the demo's out. You mother. I wanted to say something, but it was a swear. K98 says, 3.7 million nih grant to eco health alliance to study bet coronaviruses in wuhan institute of virology and gain of function methods worth looking into it is that guy who shrugs says hey tim check out the story about fresno official assaulting protesters he got three misdemeanors of assault watch all footage it's crazy they then caught cbs lying when they came on scene saying they were attempting

to break in. I did see that story's nuts. Wow. Water Dancer says, Tim the Rogue, Adam the Bard, Lydia the Cleric, Ian the Wizard. Forgot Ian last name. The Wizard. Yes, true. Crossland. Democracy. Oh, last time. Yeah. Democracy says,

in the future, could you and all other, and all you other YouTubers possibly provide links for articles you are reading in the descriptions below? Thanks. I don't want to ask for a manager. OK, so there's there's issues with that because. This may be an urban legend and YouTube has talked about it, but putting external links and YouTube videos, YouTube suppresses those videos. Really? Because they don't want you driving traffic off of YouTube. So what I did was I made it so that the URL of all of the videos appears in the video so you can actually

see it at top. Oh, that makes sense. That way you'll always know what the source is. Boom. But I'm careful about YouTube's got their finger over the ban button. Well, but there you go. They're all in there. Whenever he uses something, it's there. It is tough because sometimes the URLs have weird strings of nonsense and it's hard to source.

I mean, Facebook is training its AI to censor hateful memes. You type that up in a search engine, that article is going to come up. I try to be very, very careful about what. So I know a whole lot about how YouTube's algorithm works and the things they do. They've claimed this is not true i don't believe them because they also have a link approval system where if you want to put links in your videos like that you can click on yeah you've got to get it approved really yeah so like if you want to do a card where it's like here's my website it's got to be some like approved website so i'm like i really don't believe it so people they ask me all the time and

this is why i always say like youtube will suppress this so no one ever sees it so the best i can do is show you here's the site here's the link yeah and i gotta be honest man like when people ask for this i'm like you really could just google what i said yeah that's what i'm saying it's like just it's the same amount of time right you type in the bar open a new page like facebook is training its ai type in facebook is training its ai enter and boom it'll pop up right you know come on people yeah i mean it's it's a delicate dance you know all right let's see elemondria says the cat needs to be part of the program forever we you know i was thinking about putting the cat tower and then you have the cat sleeping in it that'd be fun because then people be watching and then you know abuku and betsy would be doing weird

stuff probably fighting each other no they don't they don't climb it at the same time. No, but I mean like the individually when they're on it. Yeah. You'd be like watching the cat lick their paw. Didactics with David Lopez says, I live in Los Angeles and I can promise you that people will revolt. Riding is in our city's heritage. Get the popcorn.

Yeah. Indefinite lockdown. We'll see. Wouldn't surprise me. Spartan says, Hey, Tim, just quit my job at a warehouse last week when they started making masks mandatory. Makes no sense to require it now. Making more money working at a local butcher shop.

Hey, good for you. Nice. It's funny because they were like, masks don't work. Don't wear masks. Now you should wear masks. Now that we have all our masks covered, you can go ahead and wear them. Yeah. Arturo Caliente says, the S will really hit the fan once the recession

hits job loss tax rise decades to recover we only passed the prologue of the covid saga true the true economic impact has not hit yet exactly and even if they lift every restriction now three months from now you will feel it yep and so i see a lot of people saying the moment you get those trump bucks you need to buy something tangible that retains value because the moment they print the money and it drops in your account, the value, the buying power of the dollar has dramatically going down. So I don't know what you should do. I like, you know, getting things that like I buy tools and stuff, things that are useful. But what can you say? I'm not an economist. Stacey Ellis says, it is called the Thousand Talents Plan, created in 2008.

Thank you. Hard work, no handouts. Thanks for the super chat. Tucky says, any thoughts on Andrew Yang being a political commentator on CNN? I don't care. You know, good for him. I trust him. I like the guy. I'm skeptical on UBI, but I think he had a ton of really awesome policies.

That's why I kind of liked him. He actually did have one of the best arguments for UBI. It is particularly complicated, as always. But good. I'm glad. You know, with him being on CNN, perhaps he will bring about some better commentary and bring some honesty a little bit. Nobody's perfect.

Read this next one. Which one? The next one. Wesley Velasquez says, Adam has an Instagram powered by Facebook. So I was saying I don't have Facebook on my phone. Oh, yeah. But then Facebook bought Instagram. Right.

Solid Scratch says, when are you upping your game from t-shirts to beanies? That's this guy. He's going to wonder a lot. Yeah, they actually, the company that makes beanies started making beanies again and I was like, oh, cool.

I would like to make a dual-colored beanie like this and they said, oh, we're not doing custom beanies. making beanies again. And I was like, Oh cool. I would like to make a dual colored beanie like this. And there's that. Oh, we're not doing custom beanies. We're only doing solid colors now. Cause that's all we can do. Cause we're shut down. And I'm like,

no, we were this close people. But we're, but we're this far away still. Yeah. All right. Let's see. Jeff M says,

Fearless Soldier says, watch the hated one on YouTube. He's a privacy guy that does tutorials. Also, what do you think about the movie The Great Hack about Cambridge Analytica?

Never saw it. I haven't seen it. But I know Brittany Kaiser personally. I've known her for over a decade. And she's actually been my roommate at one point. Recently. Wait, I think during that. Oh.

Yeah. Okay. I actually had a bunch of her stuff for a long time. Yeah, we had to throw away. Great story. There was a mattress. Quite the twist. Wait, wait. Think about, do we need to throw away great story there was a mattress quite the twist wait think about do we need to know this information it has to do with the cat i'll leave it there okay you know what cats do to mattresses oh no make garbage yeah okay jerks

Metharol says, so BeanieCast, why do you think old and new punks, anarchists, tend to side with authoritarian measures even though it goes against the very meaning of being punk? I wondered this in high school. Because they are fake and they never were punk. Aha. Boom! That's it. That's it. I know. That's why I wondered this in high school. Because they are fake and they never were punk. Boom! That's it. That's it. I know. That's why I'm still all about liberty

and rejecting this when in 2010 I had the same, you know, similar positions and have been about freedom. Sorry if that was a little loud, everybody. But it's like, the people... You nailed it. It was so good. It was pop culture. It was cool to be punk. Right. They never actually cared. I know some real punks,

like punk rockers in New York, and they're serious, man. I look forward to seeing... This does not describe real punkers. It's the fake ones that want to be cool. If Antifa really shows up to protest in favor of the government,

I'm grateful for the work you guys do every day, trying to bring us rational information and discussion i feel the fear over the authoritarian power grab but at least you have a system to stop it technically they're they're turning the

constitution into swiss cheese though so you know two rivers lad says how is fascism far right it's an outgrowth of socialism and advocates large government bureaucracies. I thought the right of the political compass advocated for small government and far right, no government. The conflict here is the definition of what left and right means. There's cultural left and right, economic left and right. And the cultural left and right is where people usually refer to fascism as far right, because the cultural spectrum is progressive versus traditional. You tend to see an overlap with the progressives wanting socialism, but there is a way to invert this. What ends up happening is the far left,

because it tends to be both culturally left and economically left, is associated generally with the left, which confuses people when you then talk about communists who, or ultra-traditional capitalism is far right. It's it's it's weird and it's colloquial language that makes very little sense. That's the easiest way to break it down. Easiest way to explain to somebody, ask them what they're referring to when they say left or right. Are they talking about American political factions, culture war factions, or traditional versus progressive or laissez faire versus communism?

Adam Bird says I'm in the hospital with pneumonia, viral colitis, and fever. They have tested me for COVID-19 three times. All have come back negative. They keep telling me because of your symptoms, we have to blame it on COVID-19. Oh my gosh. Weird.

Mambis. Vasht says, let's be real. The reason these people are complaining about the links is it's not their links, not that they have some problem with the link sharing, allegedly. Right, exactly. In reference to the BuzzFeed stuff. Yep, exactly. Gabriel McLeod says, Google data mines the cookies on your computer

to feed into their AdSense and other advertising programs. Adam Bird says, the infectious disease doctor has told me that in some people the virus does not shed in the nasal cavity or in the back of the throat. This makes me wonder how accurate the tests are. Didn't some test like a papaya or something or a poo-poo fruit or whatever it was called? I have no idea.

Tested positive? Oh, yeah, the fruit. Yeah, I don't know. Who knows? Sherry Social says my liberal friend has a small business she vented to me that their shop will close and that the small biz association screwed her over we live in ca how do i respond if i'm more conservative love y'all look man if people are still going to vote for these same people then what do you do i give you you reap

California has the largest population of homeless of any state in the U.S. They are largely not social distancing or wearing masks. Why don't we see a massive outbreak of the Voldemort virus among the homeless population? Very good question. I thought they were. At one homeless shelter, we saw an outbreak. Yeah, and most of them are asymptomatic, I think.

It's because they're outside. That really is it. The vitamin D. It's the vitamin D, and it's like, they saw an outbreak. Yeah, and most of them are asymptomatic, I think. It's because they're outside. That really is it. The vitamin D. It's the vitamin D, and it's like, they're not necessarily social distancing, but they're not huddled together in cafes, in offices. You know what? They probably are really resilient against a lot of bacteria and viruses, though. That's true.

They're living on the street. Yeah. They're engaging with millions of people all of the time. Yeah, I mean, it's like, they're probably prepped in strong, resilient mean, it's like they're not engaging with a lot of people. They're probably prepped in strong, resilient bodies. Like, no joke. They're not engaging with a lot of people. Well, I mean, some people are like, hey, do you have any money?

Hey, do you have any money? Hey, do you have any money? That's true. Maybe. It depends on the homeless person, I guess. So I think one of the things is regular people go to Starbucks. Tons of people. Everyone touching everything.

They go to office. Everyone touching everything. True. Homeless person outside. Sunlight disinfectant. Yep. With their shopping cart walking around. They go to office. Everyone touching everything. True. Homeless person. Outside. Sunlight disinfectant. Yep. With their shopping cart walking around. Mm-hmm.

Found it. The Grizzly says, last point. Violence between the urban and rural areas is inevitable due to the culture differences. The right is more used to and willing to resort to violence rather than the left. They are more willing to start violence. The right is? The left is more willing to start it. They just can't go that far, I think.

Lauren Wren says, Tim, I have enjoyed sharing in your journey. Been a fan since Occupy Wall Street. Also, I got my Patriot Supply. Hubby and I had creamy Alfredo and kielbasa for dinner. Thanks and love you, man. Well, you're not supposed to eat it right now. Sure, you gotta try it. But I'm glad you got it. We haven't touched ours. We've got just

It's on demand. I just lost all of my enthusiasm. Oh, I know, right? All right, all right. Let's read. Let's read. Andy Redneck says,

Suggestion. Next time you have news overload, like you seem to have had yesterday, why not just do an AdamCast deep dive on a non-news subject, just saying, we like you folks. Well, on that,

I mean, I guess that, can I take this one? Yeah. Yeah, well, so I found out, usually when I was doing AdamCast, I would come up with the subjects myself. Neither of them were here. And both,

we all do story a story discussion before the show so it's a lot easier it's not just on me I mean Ian actually was coming up with some ideas too we were bouncing off each other but I found out pretty much like 30 40 minutes right before the start of the show so I didn't have anything ready I'm not I wasn't but I mean enough people have suggested this so that i should just have a deep dive ready to go like someone to really do an episode on which i probably will yep so that's that's actually again yeah that's actually what we uh figured because it wasn't it wasn't news overload necessarily it was that there was like the stories were all

extremely weak so it required a lot of research and it was just a more difficult day. Yeah, exactly. And so then the general idea was like, that's a day that, you know, when I'm like collapsed on the floor and like drenched in sweat, Adam can just,

you know, run an Adam cast or something. Yeah. That's what I do. We'll probably do it. Yeah. Josh separate says Arbery case. The electrician says,

isn't good to be in under construction home if georgia has duty to uh duty to retreat arbery has problem due to charging the guy with gun when there was another way to run that's i i know and nobody wants to bring that point up our arbery didn't have to run into in their direction didn't he run right up to them so the guy is in the street he turns right and goes around the truck and then attacks him. Why? I don't know. I don't know, man. I don't... But the left is always lying about these things. Like, it's Jussie Smollett. Just don't know enough stuff, yeah. And it's like

everything that they say, it doesn't really fit the narrative of what I've heard. So... I like fry, like fry, like fry, says Adam. What up? When do you plan on doing your own show? Also, thanks for talking about chow cheese in previous episode. I am lactose intolerant and haven't had milk products in a long time. Oh, I hope you tried it because it is incredible.

I actually suggested this to a few people and people are hitting me up saying it is so good. I'm almost actually scared now that I'm not going to find it when I go to the store. So don't buy it around me, but buy it because it's really good. It is. I made a grilled cheese with it the first time you got it. You haven't had dairy in a while now, right? No, we have today. Oh, you did?

Yeah, so we still have cheese. Oh, right, right. We're going to get rid of it. You're still eating the leftover residual cheese. I'm thinking of something kind of paleo, but I'm like probably not necessarily. But it's like how can I just eat better? So it's like we had mashed potatoes and salmon today I really gotta start my own show

yeah yeah of course you do man thank you like fry like fry I appreciate that St. Miles says all coins for Lydia oh there it is Unity B says I think the worst the shooters should face is manslaughter because they should not have been there with guns

but they had the right to defend themselves when their gun is grabbed. Right. I think it's a manslaughter case. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah, I don't know. Minak says, love your content, Tim. I'm conservative and don't always agree with you. And that's OK. I watch all your videos. Keep up the good work. You are doing a great service to the American people. I just complain about my feelings on the Internet, man. It's fathead, Mr. Poole. Given the pandemic and the current polarization of government today, do you think that this is an excuse to hit the reset button on our current democracy? If so, would it be a quick restart or a hard reboot?

I don't know. I don't think so. I mean, we just need the courts to uphold the Constitution. But short of them, they're not doing it. What do we do? Right. I don't know. I'm not smart enough.

Boogaloo. No. That's a good motto. I like that. It reminds me of the Patriot. When Mel Gibson says, you know, mark my words, this war will not be fought in the frontier. It will be fought in your homes, in your towns, in your schools. People don't realize how bad it would be.

You do not want that. Scott Poland says, just hopping in, but have you talked about justin amash he is a viable candidate that will that will pull in democrats and reluctant trumpers worth looking into nah no thank you oh my gosh your face lydia i'm making faces too no you seem absolutely disgusted i voted for a third party candidate in 2016 and i will probably never vote for a third-party candidate again. Why? Because it was just nothing. And it seems like every third-party candidate is kind of like that. Tossing a pebble in the ocean. Yeah, it's nonsense.

Pebble in the ocean. St. Miles says, Hey Tim, Adam, and Lydia, because this is the most intellectual, entertaining, and calm conversations, I opened my 25-year-old Glenn Morin and I'm now having a glass with my feet up. Oh, man, that sounds good.

I like the Glenns. They're good. They're good whiskeys. Have a sip on me, or for me. Russian Hockey Talent Agency says, give this to long-haired guy, please. You got it? That would be me. That would be me.

curd jacks. Florida, in 1989-1990, straight up walked off the stage. And he was right to do so. Good for him. Yeah, he was. David says, Tim, talk about the breakdown of the global food supply and the regional wars that are about to start. We need to know the cost of not exporting

our surplus food. A billion dead in the next year. I hope not. Man. More the reason why we need to open this economy back up. But the crack is already there. So it's like... Yeah, it's the hesitation. So it's like... Yeah, it's the hesitation. So it's like, to catch it up,

eventually there's still going to be that gap that we've been closed for so long. When we shut down the economy, we took the rope and we whipped it, and now that wave is traveling all the way down. Yep, exactly. So even if we start it back up, the wave is still going to hit. But the longer we wait,

the bigger that space is going to be. Yep. Yep, it's going to get bad. Furby Slayer says, in case you missed it, in case you missed Rogan and Elon, Elon confirms any symptom matching COVID is counted even testing negative

Aaron says, hey Tim, have you seen the Unreal Engine 5 demo? It's one step closer to real world simulation. Games can now render multiple billions of polygons. I saw some screenshots and I was like, whoa. I know. PS5, Xbox, the new Xbox.

L-Y-D-S for those that are listening. That's my name. You can follow her because she posts spicy memes on Instagram. Sometimes, yes. On Instagram. But we'll wrap it up there. If you haven't hit the like button, you can do so because it really does help. Thanks for hanging out.

We do the show Monday through Fridays at 8 p.m. And now we'll probably more consistently have the show up because even if I'm collapsing from exhaustion, Adam will have some deep dives available. Yeah, that'd be fun. So the show will be much more consistent. And we post clips every day, so make sure you subscribe, like button, notification bell, and then share this with all your friends,
