The mainstream media's online arm appears to be critically injured. Many media organizations are trimming the fat during this time of hardship, and Tim and Adam aren't exactly disappointed by this development. Next, Bret Weinstein responds to the ongoing lockdown and the ways in which people cannot effectively prepare for the virus if they're locked inside. And finally, the Anti Civil Liberties Union comes to the rescue when Betsy Devos has the audacity to amend Title IX to treat those accused of crimes with more fairness.

Press the record button. Hey, yeah, let's do that. They, they... Now, here we go. Yeah. Welcome to the show, everybody. So, the reason YouTube props up these authoritative, I'm doing air quotes, sources is a shield because of these media companies that are constantly smearing and going after them.

So, now they can be like, oh, but we give you special access. We're doing everything right. And then it's a detriment to their own independent creators. They don't care. They're just a bunch of circle jerkers. Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's kids listening. They're jerks.

Hey, I didn't swear. No, but I didn't swear. And that's what it seems like. I got an email. Mainstream media, a bunch of other people are just having a good time together. I got an email. Being really friendly with each other. You know what I say?

It's like, you ever see the episode of Rick and Morty where all the Jerrys come out of that machine and they're all shaking each other's hands? you know you know what i i say it's like you ever see the episode of rick and morty where all the jerrys come out of that machine and they're all shaking each other's hands yeah yeah that's what it is okay because i remember one time i said same thing shaking each other's hands now that you've already said now that you've already said circle jerk i actually had someone email me and they were like i was in i was driving my kid you know back from school yeah listening to one of your podcasts, and then they turned to me and said, Dad, what's a circle jerk? Oh, no. It's like, oh, no.

Oh, no. I don't know if saying that makes this now an explicit podcast. No. I think it might. No. No way. It's just a circle, a bunch of jerks in a circle. A circle of jerks.

Yeah. That's what we're talking about. That's all it is. Right? I don't know what the context you were thinking of was. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. But you've got a dirty mind. That's not what we're talking about. That also might be is. Right? I don't know what the context you were thinking of. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. But you've got a dirty mind. That's not what we're talking about.

That also might be true. Yeah. Tell your kids this. When they ask you what it is, say, think of all the people you hate, and they're all standing in a big circle all laughing. There you go. At each other. Pointing at each other and laughing.

A circle of jerks. I mean, I've got to be honest. That actually does describe these media companies. It does. Kind of, yeah. On YouTube. A circle of jerks. See, that's what I was thinking.

That's what I was thinking as well. Okay, thank you. Appreciate it. So, we got, there's big news. Oh, good. Big news. And it's bad news for news. Oh, no. Bad news news? Are we news? We're not. Are we, like, outskirt? Technically. Outskirt news? Well, this is entertainment.

Entertainment. This show is entertainment. Oh, good. Yeah. All right. Bad news for news industry. They're collapsing. It is flames, man. It is. The boat is gone.

I have a feeling it's not the mainstream media, though. No, it is. Oh, it is? Yeah, it's nuts. Oh, that must be the good news part of it. This list is nuts. Pull this list up. Look at this. Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my Lanta. It is fire. Those are all different companies? Oh, man. Fire. Wow. It is a very long list. For those who are just listening, we're scrolling through.

Still scrolling. There we go. Probably, I don't know, 100. 200? Wow, more than 100. Holy moly. 200 different news companies? And this is not all of it.

I got more stories. Check this out. Wow, look at that. Wall Street Journal says, this is from a few weeks ago, Vice Media document lays out plan for layoffs amid coronavirus pandemic. Planning document calls for over 300 layoffs, though company says several such proposals are being worked up. Wow.

It is flames all the way down. How many people work at Vice? What would you say? I think 1,000. Wow, that's not entirely sure. Like 30% of the company. It might be way more than that because they've grown. It's been a long time since I've been there. Oh, okay. But

the media's gone up in flames, man. Yeah. I got a bunch. So Vice is denying this, by the way. Oh, really? They're pushing back. But the Wall Street Journal didn't include that saying. They're saying, hey, they're just being worked up. But we've also got, what is this one? BuzzFeed and Condé Nast are making more cuts after pay reductions aren't enough. Now, here's the crazy thing.

I did a segment earlier. BuzzFeed just shut down news operations for two offices. This might be what they're talking about. But I think these companies were in trouble a long time ago. Yeah. You know. There's the bird now now apparently according to the conversation they say nine reasons you should be worried about the closure

of buzzfeed news in australia i'm sorry that's that's a jolly laugh that's hilarious nine reasons too many that is nine reasons uh quartz is laying people off we got the story digital media clobbered by coronavirus it's just uh just clobbered wow yeah i like that yep this is huge this is a huge list so it really is you know before we get into gloating over the demise of a lot of these companies the first thing i'll point out i'm only gloating at a few of them right for the record that's true that's a good point yeah we only want to gloat for a few of them. Check this out. So a lot of these are just local newspapers. Okay.

And it's kind of bad. Local newspapers are all right. Yeah, exactly. They do an all right job. And most of them seem to be local papers, local outlets that are now suffering. Yeah. So as much as I want to laugh about NBCUniversal cutting executive pay by 20% as if I care, Univision layoffs, furloughs, and pay cuts as if I care. Digital media, oh, this is where it gets juicy.

BuzzFeed cut employee pay, cut AM to DM. It's morning news show. Eight people lost their jobs and had furloughs of some staff. Now, part of me wants to say I'm sorry to these individuals who lost their jobs. But these outlets are just so awful. Yeah. And they put out garbage, fake news. Look, man, we can complain about BuzzFeed being biased.

Yeah. And that's when they put out biased articles. Like if they write something on the culture war or politics, it's really bad. But BuzzFeed wrote a story about two black men fighting to the death over fried chicken, which never happened. Oh, yeah, that was. And that was just like, it was total BS. And it seems very obvious that they were like, oh, this will get clicks. Yeah.

And they claim to be like, they write articles always in favor of these lefty politics and ideas. And then when it's their chance to write some nonsensical rage bait that mocks, you know, the black community and stereotypes them. Oh, they're the first ones jump on board. And I reached out to them and I was like hey this is not true here's proof they were like they didn't care they sent me a link to like so the the witnesses said there was no fight over a chicken sandwich it was basically the story was like two guys got into a fight one guy got

stabbed yeah and then absolutely nothing to do with the chicken sandwich well it did in the sense that they were both in line they were both at at Popeye's. And that's it. And there you go. But that's Popeye's, though, not the chicken sandwich. Right. What if they both didn't like chicken in general? They were like, man, we don't like chicken. They wouldn't be at Popeye's, I guess. Well, they got fish at Popeye's. Hey, you never know. But the gist of it was,

BuzzFeed said in the headline that it was a fight over a chicken sandwich. Nobody had a chicken sandwich. Nobody had ordered one. A dude cut in line. The other dude was like, hey, don't cut in line. And the guy was like, F you. And he was like, take it outside. Guy got stabbed.

That was it. It was a fight over a cutting in line. And the dude's family was pissed because he was like, he's like, ain't nobody died over a chicken sandwich. This is BS. The media is lying. And so I saw what BuzzFeed did. And I'm like, dude, that's not cool.

And when I reached out to them, the response I got back was a quote from a cop saying something like we think that people were at popeyes because of the chicken sandwich right and i was like that says nothing about these two men in their fight right and that was it i honestly when i first heard this story i didn't think it was true i thought it was a like a pr stunt from popeyes trying to sell the chicken sandwich i think no joke i think you're right really yeah i agree like no one actually died or they spun it no no we should use this PR stunt from Popeyes trying to sell the chicken sandwich. No joke. I think you're right. Really? Yeah, I agree. Like no one actually died? Or they spun it?

No, no, no. They were like, we should use this. Yes. Oh. Gross. So where did the narrative emerge that these guys were fighting over a chicken sandwich? Right. So apparently, I think Popeyes put out a statement.

I could be wrong. And they were like, we're so sorry, blah, blah, blah. The chicken sandwich. I think they were like, lean into it. We didn't mean to make the chicken sandwich that good. It's like, wait a minute. What? What did you just say?

But in all seriousness, actually, could you look this up? I think they did make a statement about it. The statement they made? And I think if I was going to make a bet, I could be very careful because, you know, we live in a litigious country. I'd be willing to bet that their PR person heard the story and was like, do it, do it, pull the trigger, pull the trigger. No one should fight over these chicken sandwiches. Yeah. It's not like they would ever say that though in the statement

no they would say something like that like it's it's terrible that you know at an at the at the release of our new chicken sandwich a fight broke out and something like that you know what i mean yeah yeah i can't remember exactly what happened with it but i'd be willing to bet that's where the narrative came from so when i look at at BuzzFeed cutting employee pay, they're shutting down their Australian news division and UK. I'm sorry, man. I'm not going to cry. And how about Vox? I know you're not too happy with Vox.

Yeah, where's Vox? Vox furloughed more than 100 people for three months. You know what? That's a good amount of people. Seeing all this, I almost want to cry. Tears of joy? Happiness? I was going to say.

You know, because the one way I have to explain what's going on with the digital media is that it's like you have this gigantic machine funded by Venture Capital. Okay. And I am but one person on YouTube desperately trying to fight back against all of the lies and the smears and the fake news. And it's like trying to knock down a skyscraper with a ball-peen hammer. You're just like, you're cutting away at it.

And then while you're doing it, they're building more. So it's like, ultimately, you just never get anything done. Well, you saw Shawshank, right? He escaped with the, you know, took him a while. I'm not trying to escape. I'm trying to knock it down. It's the same kind of thing. You're just beating at the stone on the wall. I don't want these people to lose their jobs.

Yeah. Right. But I do want the whole system to be reformed. And to get back. There's a really funny viral video going around right now. Some dude, I can't remember where he was. I don't know. Some local journalist was walking around a protest.

It's Long Island. Yeah. We were watching this video. Right. And this guy is being yelled at by Trump supporters they're like you're fake news you're fake news and he's filming it and then it's like such the it's the most pathetic like mission driven bs news reporting he's like i'll never forget what happened to me this day hounded and harassed and i was just trying to tell their story. Harumph I say. Harumph!

Man, that was funny. They weren't even being mean. They were just kind of calling him out. It's funny because I've been at protests where I've been physically attacked and they're throwing explosives and smoke bombs and the media defended Antifa. They were like, but they're fighting fascists. It's like, yes, when they beat journalists, they're fighting

fascists. Right, great, thanks. And so now that you're seeing conservatives go, you're fake news. They were like, but they're fighting fascists. It's like, yes, when they beat journalists, they're fighting fascists. Right, great, thanks. Sure. And so now that you're seeing conservatives go, you're fake news. They're like, oh, oh, oh no, somebody, somebody insulted me. What do I do? Oh, my stars and goddesses. Where's my group that support me? There's an amazing, amazing photograph of Jim Acosta of CNN

with this look on his face, like, and there's someone flicking him off. He's looking at it like, oh, how dare you? no i work for cnn i argue with donald trump you can't be mean to me so here's i see this this this guy right okay and he's claiming that you know oh i was i was attacked and berated and harassed and i was simply trying to tell their story and then he adds a line where he's like these are people who weren't even wearing masks during a pandemic. And I'm like, there it is. Yep.

This guy came down, and he was like, I'm just here to tell your story. And then he jumped the chance to be like, oh, no, they're attacking me, and they won't even wear masks. Like, dude, I can see what you're doing, man. You're not there to tell their story. You were looking for the conflict so you could play the victim and you know what i know you want to be like jim acosta but you'll never be you'll never be with uh in the in the big leagues bro jim acosta is like the michael jordan of fake news you know what i mean is he yeah i'm almost offended that you you would use michael jordan that's a good point that's not fair i grew up in chicago you did too

how dare you that's not fair to michael jordan Chicago. You did too. How dare you? That's not fair to Michael Jordan. How dare you? But it was a testament to Michael Jordan's greatness. You know what I mean? Sure. Who's someone infamous for doing something awful but well? Bill Cosby. Jim Acosta is the Bill Cosby of fake news.

Why would you go there? I don't know. It's so random i don't know you're welcome okay that's it that's my last contribution so so no but look jim acosta goes to these press events with trump and then he'll be like he'll have like this big thing drawn up where he'll start talking and then when trump is like thank you he'll keep talking okay like next please and he'll keep talking and you see this with the other cnn reporters too where they argue with the president yeah ridiculous like did you see that one recently where that chinese uh there's a reporter she's for from cbs but she is chinese yeah she asked trump you know like why are you trying to make this competition trump got

offended like that she she asked you know it's a loaded question it's like right it's like asking you know when did you stop beating your wife so it's like why are you treating us a competition it's like i'm not but so trump was like why don't you ask china and then she goes and she pulls her mask on and goes why did you ask me that that's like wait wait what what you're pretending to be angry about this he literally said that before i know it's like you're talking about why i'm making it a competition with china right that's what the question was about? A global competition. Oh, okay.

And so I think Trump was making a point when he said, why don't you ask China? Because China's lying about their numbers. Right. So his point was, I'm not. They're the ones lying about their numbers. Why don't you go ask them? Yeah, yeah. But because she was Chinese, then Brian Stelter of CNN is like, it is racist.

But anyway, I bring it up because it's a really, really good example of like asking a loaded question that there's no real answer to. Like, what are you supposed to say to that? Just to get a reaction. Like, Adam, when did you stop beating your wife? Well, I started shaving when I was 18. What kind of question is that? And that's like, that's the go-to explanation of what

a loaded question is. And so Trump gets mad about it. And then shaving. Is that a are you making a reference to like my lack of facial hair for being asian you're racist actually and i argue with you yeah it's funny like people tweet at me like to get grow a beard i'm like yeah i know it's i mean it's there it's kind of there i have a scraggly beard i i know you bigots i actually i i did a little grooming today I say I don't groom normally I get rid of it but I was thinking maybe I

grow a beard but it was like getting a little long and annoying so I had to get a little bit a little bit there so anyway it's like this guy who goes on a long island at this Trump event or whatever it's it's it's he was inspired you know by Jim Acosta

but Jim Acosta man he created the sport it's like here it's it's he was inspired you know by jim acosta yeah but jim acosta man he created the sport it's like here's what you do you go to the press briefing you insult the president and then you argue with him and then all of the resistance people start wiggling their arms and they're like that like turkeys yeah yeah yeah you ever see that video where the guy's in the car and there's all the turkeys in the pen and he goes, and then all the turkeys yell back. No, that sounds amazing. Yes.

And then he's I have to look that up. He's laughing so hard he's crying. And then he goes, and then the turkeys all gobble back. That's what it is.

Yep. So like Jim Acosta is the dude in the car gobbling and all of the resistance anti-Trump people are the turkeys gobbling back. Yep. And it's like,

hey man, each one of those gobbles, he then goes to an advertiser and says, hey man, I can make 100 turkeys gobble. How much are you going to pay me? And they do. And then he writes a book and then he sells the turkeys books. But you get the reference. You get the analogy. So this guy shows up and tries pulling this off. And these journalists feign

outrage like, but we're just trying to tell your story. And then they're lying. And this is what we get. So let's take a look at some of these outlets that are getting purged. We got BuzzFeed, VT Digger, a non-profit digital news site in Vermont. First three layoffs. I don't know who they are. I'm not going to drag them.

Vice cut some pay and stopped 401k matching and promotions. Oof. What does that mean, matching? So they stopped helping their employees into their 401k basically? Yeah, they match your contribution. Yeah, so if you put in money, they'll put in equal amounts of

a perk. The outline laid off its staff. Wait, laid off all of them? Goodbye, outline. Never heard of it. Wait, is that literally every single... The outline, an attempt to build a bolder kind of news website, appears to have met its end. Wait, go back up. It's not for everyone. It's for you. Well, that well that's not a baited audience they're not talking to their

employees yeah one one one audience member isn't enough to sustain the company i'm sorry unless the one audience member is elon musk and he's paying a subscription of a hundred thousand dollars a month or something so what a shame what else do we have we have bustle digital group laid off two dozen staffers oh cry me crime here, River. Right. What is Bustle? They're like the... They're a ladies thingy. Oh, that's right. Yeah, that's right.

What do we got? Elite Daily, Inverse, Mike, Nylon, The Outline. Oh, Mike. Oh, The Outline's gone, though. Oh, no, The Zoe Report. Oh, my gosh. I have no idea what that is. What will I do without them?

I'm pretty sure all of these people, like, they're mostly friends with each other. And I know this because I worked for Vice. I worked for some of these companies, and they're mostly friends with each other. And I know this because I worked for Vice. I worked for some of these companies and they hang out with each other. And they're all probably like sitting around complaining and smack talking. They're about us

for calling them out like I care. I'm sure, yeah. Bring it on. G.O. Media, which includes Jezebel, Deadspin, The Root, and The Onion,

laid off 14 employees. 14, oh. Group 9, 7% of its staff. They're the dodo, thrillist, and now this. Ooh, now this oh now this bye bye that makes me feel good see the president i don't know most of these now this is fake news

okay they create viral rage bait for facebook or they used to and it would be like super loaded statements and um at vidcon several years ago the president on stage said they had partnered with anti-Trump activists at the highest level for producing content or something. I filmed it. I published it. I was like, wow, that's a bold statement for the president of a venture capital backed news outlet to say straight up we are anti-Trump activists. They

direct our content. Wow. So sad to see you go. The Hill was implementing pay cuts. Now that's sad. The Hill is good. I don't like that. The Hill was implementing pay cuts. Now, that's sad. The Hill is good. I don't like that. The Hill is very good.

Oh, okay. Yeah, the Hill is very good. Altus, I-24, and Cheddar, I don't care about them. They're fine. They talk about, you know, pop culture stuff or whatever. Vox furloughed more than 100 people for three months. Aw. Yeah.

That I'm okay with. Protocol had laughs. I don't know them. The Skimm, Insider, Louisville, and Curbed Atlanta. Not sure who they are. Well, look. Curbed Atlanta is a Vox Media newsroom. Let them go. Get them out. It stopped publishing for three months. And its editor was furloughed.

Bye, Vox. And Quartz, they laid off, Quartz laid off 80 people. Yeah. Quartz isn't that bad. I don't know, Quartz. It's just digital media. So, let's see magazines oh they have an update so apparently they keep adding stuff condé Nast wow i have no problem with that that's that's huge i don't know what some of these other things are time out i don't

care about that you know i'll be honest man a lot of these a lot of these cuts they're kind of they're bummers you know it's it's sad to see local news outlets taking hits local papers aren't that bad we need local journalism because when you've got, you know, a town like, you know, I don't know, Podunk or Bumpkinville. Bumpkinville. Yeah, Bumpkinville. Sounds like a fun place. The Bumpkinville Gazette or the Bumpkinville Bugle writes about the mayor and the Bumpkinville. I love it so much.

I don't know why. I want to move there. I can't stop giggling. Okay, well. Bumpkinville. love it so much i want to move there stop giggling okay bumpkinville bugle yes the bumpkinville bugle covers issues of like the mayor and stuff and you're not going to get that from the new york times the new york times won't write about you know the mayor of a town of a thousand you know called bumpkinville yeah but the bugle will so if you live there it's important you learn about these things so when local outlets are taking hits and laying people off, that's when it gets bad. One of the scariest things that came up in the digital age 10 years ago was as these local outlets started going away, local corruption started going up.

Because if you've got a city councilman or whatever who's stealing money, a local journalist would typically be like, I'm investigating this. Ha-ha, I've uncovered it. Cops, they're not going to investigate this. The feds aren't going to come in. It's the public access information gathering intelligence. But now that everyone's drifting towards, you know, like national and international level conversation in politics, nobody's covering local news anymore. Except the local outlets do. That's why it's sad to see them start taking these hits.

Yeah, they're important. But one of the big problems is that one of the reasons they're taking hits is because they're being displaced by BuzzFeed, by Vox, by Huffington Post. Because these local outlets need to find a way to become relevant and to make money. But traffic is essentially stolen

by bigger news outlets. It's like, you know... Especially if a certain tube is pushing them on everybody. Yeah. Talking about you, tube. You know, I do think about how local affiliates are really, really bad at using social media. Okay. And why isn't, you know, on local news outlet making a YouTube channel and generating traffic and stuff like that?

There is a challenge, right? If you were in a town of 1,000 people, you would make money by advertising local services. But now these people just buy the ad straight on Google and Facebook. So now Google and Facebook are sucking all that money out of these smaller towns. And then the local papers have no advertising. Yeah. And they go under. Who gets the paper anymore?

Yeah, I mean, old people. Yeah, old people. I think it's funny, too, because, like, there's going to come a point where people are going to be arguing, you know, saying something similar to us, like, you get your news from the internet, and they're going to be getting it in some other way or something. Maybe, yeah. I don't know. Straight from their Neuralink.

Yeah, their Neuralink. Yeah. They're going to have a feed constantly just knowing everything i mean maybe in 100 years but i think we do get set in our ways like every person does we get used to the platforms we use young people start using different platforms and who knows what news is going to be like could you imagine like tiktok news no where it's like some seconds yeah some 17 year old girl dancing to like tears for fears while holding up like a paper and it says like some seconds yeah some 17 year old girl dancing to like tears for fears while holding up like a paper and it says like you know trump impeached and like that's the news in the future i don't know man i don't know who knows what's gonna be like that sounds like she's from bumpkinville yeah sure does no that sounds like like you when you look at a lot of these companies

and how they manipulated facebook you know to get those those links they didn't care about news that actually mattered they care about stories that will get the most shares. Right. And so that's what drives Facebook right now. You know, one thing I see here, go ahead, give me the article. Which one? It says NBC Universal is cutting executive pay by 20%. See, like that, why aren't we seeing more of that all across the board here?

Like cutting executive pay. They make way too much money pay they don't they make way too much money they don't want to cut their pay dude i know yeah but that solves a lot of issues it could isn't it i mean we got we got problems with the lockdown as it is and that's the next segment we're going to be talking about the lockdown is is busted yeah and we got we got some data for that but look man people get a bailout, these big corporations. Golden parachutes for the executives. Exactly. We're safe, everybody. Everyone's

going to get an emergency paycheck. But after two weeks, you're in trouble. Bob, on the other hand, we got a $10 million bonus, buddy, and the parachute is made of pure gold. And then he falls to his death. Don't use this, by the way. Don't use that gold parachute. It's just a sell later on.

Don't actually try it. You'll drop like't use that. It's just to show off. It's just to sell later on. Yeah. Don't actually try it. You'll drop like a rock. It'll actually make you fall faster. Yeah, it'll speed things up. Well, it won't, actually. It's not how gravity works, but, you know. So, I don't know, man.

A lot of businesses are going under. And while I want to say it's really bad. Nah, it is really bad. Yeah, it seems really bad. No, because even though I don't like these people, it's a major disruption to the economy. But I wonder if there will be an improvement because what's, you know, I want to equate some of these news outlets to a thing that slowly starts growing and absorbing nutrients and resources from the body until it becomes a weighted detriment. I got this.

I got this. Cancer. Oh, I didn't say it. Adam, wow. That was a guess. That was a guess. I was just guessing. I was just guessing what you were thinking.

These outlets... Was I right? Yeah. Yes. These outlets are siphoning away resources, exploiting the system, producing garbage information that's making people go insane.

And it's a detriment on the minds, the psyche, and the culture of our country. My next guess was tapeworm. So you know what I was thinking, right? Think about what's going on with the economy. And I mentioned this earlier in one of my videos. It's like we were poisoned. And the poison, the lockdown, is killing large portions of the body, but not totally killing the body

itself, right? Almost like chemo. Yeah, I was going to say like radiation. Purging a lot of unnecessary BS, layoffs at all these companies, only essential functions. And then maybe one, I know that everything ultimately is bad, but there could be one benefit that in the end, more essential businesses rise up and we get rid of a lot of this non-essential wasted space that was actually causing us problems and hurting us. Okay. So that's a maybe.

I don't know for sure. I can see it. I can see the parallels. Yeah. But how about this? Let's talk about what's going on with the lockdown. And I have this tweet from Brett Weinstein. So for those that aren't familiar with Brett,

he is a professor in exile, evolutionary trade-offs, telomeres, senescence, and cancer. The Dark Horse podcast, Brett is a smart fella. And he has this tweet. It is insane that as the evidence for vitamin D protective effect mounts, and though it appears the virus is very rarely transmitted outdoors, we continue to instruct people to stay indoors where COV-2 is easily transmitted and where they can't make vitamin D. And he's linking this tweet to Joe Rogan. It says, vitamin D may reduce susceptibility to COVID-19 associated lung injury. Hold on. Do you think all those people that were suntanning their bums are like, yeah, that's right. We are so protected against COVID.

Think about what this... Well, let's think about it for a second. You know what I'm talking about? I know, unfortunately. The bum tanning. Yeah, the bum tanning. Yeah. Oh, my goodness.

The people bum tanning aren't thinking about anything. They're not. No, you don't think so? They're not thinking about this. Maybe. Maybe they'll read the article about vitamin D. Maybe they're like, I'm just trying to get my vitamin d in man sure but think about what's going on right now i'm having fun today think about what's going on with the lockdowns economic collapse yep

california's los angeles says we're going to send it for three months or until we have a cure crazy the supreme court of wisconsin struck down the extension and almost immediately all the bars popped open and were flooded. I'm sure. People shoulder to shoulder, partying, drinking, like, woo, freedom. Yeah. Yeah. So one of the things that we've talked about and a lot of the data we've seen, first of all, the mortality rate's a lot lower than we thought.

The infection rate is high relative to other, you know, illnesses. So this is still dangerous. And you got to pay attention, focus on, you know, be. So this is still dangerous. And you got to pay attention. Focus on, you know, be safe. That's the easy way to put it. Yeah. We can't sustain this lockdown. And even now, like the Los Angeles Times and other outlets are pointing out, the poor will suffer from this.

Yeah. So finally, they're getting on board. We're still seeing this weird split where, you know, there's red states and blue states. But this is the crazy thing. The data has shown us that you're more likely to get this if you're indoors staying home yep it's 66 percent of people who've contracted it during the lockdown were staying at home yep because going outside is good sunlight is good and you're less likely to touch the same things if you're out in the open makes as opposed to being in the house. Yep. And getting all that vitamin D. Yep. And getting all that vitamin D.

So who is going to be most negatively impacted by this? Older people. City folk. Susceptible people. Yeah. City folk. Yeah. City folk. Yeah.

Who are in their cubicle-like box apartments with very little sunlight. Yep. Generating that vitamin D deficiency. Because many of them are probably eating trash they just order, right? They're not thinking, like, well, maybe that's not fair to say. Because just order right they're not think like well maybe that's not fair to say because i'm sure they're eating similarly to it no no i wonder yeah i don't know i read an article earlier about how um basically the really rich are are can afford staying in and are all right with it and the really poor are staying in so you're saying like

the middle class are going out and about but but as that does the really rich include, like, how did they break that down? Is it saying like my income? I was going to, I was going to bring it up, but it was really, really long.

And it was riddled with stories of stuff that made no sense to the article. So I was like, if they did a general like income bracket, then New Yorkers have substantially higher income okay so they can't afford many of them to stay inside and not have vitamin d okay and then get sick right and you've got poor middle americans go out on the porch that's what those that's what those two doctors in california were talking about they're basically saying if we stay inside we're losing our natural immune system that we build constantly. Like they were talking about like the human body has viruses on it all the time. Oh, yeah. Nonstop. Always. We're always fighting off bacteria and

infections constantly. So if we stay inside and we don't get sun, then our immune systems are just going to go away. So the next time we we go out if we do actually do get the covid whatever you're going to get hit 10 times as hard because you have no immune system anymore i don't know enough about how immune systems work well that's what their whole video is about they were talking about that that's that's basically and then it got taken down it's like oh yeah and it kept getting taken down and i'm pretty sure it's still being you know so to uh to make the throwback point forgive me if i I'm not going to complain about BuzzFeed, which is trying to get videos banned.

Not that I'm a fan of, like, you know, Plandemic or any of these other videos. But we need to have a discussion about whether or not we should or shouldn't reopen. Now, here's where it gets really, really funny. I wonder if YouTube will ban us for talking about how the lockdown needs to be lifted. You think they would? Well, because, so, they've gone after channels who have been like, you know, the lockdown is BS, don't wear masks, things like that. Yeah.

But Wisconsin just ruled it unconstitutional. Hold on. Boku is sitting on that really expensive instrument. Oh, is he? Kitty break. Yay! There's a cat causing troubles. What's new? What was he sitting on? The mixer. Oh, that sounds like something a cat causing troubles. What's new? What was he sitting on? A mixer. That sounds like something a cat would do.

Looking for ways to destroy it. That was very expensive. Now we're talking about cats. I don't even know what we were talking about before. I'm sorry. I didn't want anything to happen to that. We were talking about the lockdown. It's a really important instrument.

And vitamins. Are we going to get banned for talking about the oh yeah sorry what are we supposed to what am i what am i supposed to say right now when wisconsin says you can't lock down michigan says you have to lock down yeah uh what is it yeah which is it which is it is youtube gonna ban me which one do i get banned for now i have no idea the world health organization praised sweden that didn't lock down yeah but then the u.s was like everybody got to lock down so i don't know what i can or can't say i have no idea and not all of the u.s some states were like we're not locking down yeah some states are opening up and they're fine this is the funniest thing like going on when it comes to the election do do people like do these these anti-trump people think that the americans will

blame donald trump for their governor locking their state down do you think the dem states are just trying to like hold it off as long as possible so maybe they can just win something because i think people are that stupid something trump said maybe honestly i think so what did trump said yeah so trump said um he thinks that they are trying to keep it, the economy shut down until the election. And I was like, holy cow, can that be right? And then the more I thought about it, the more I was like, maybe the economy was doing really, really well. That's what I was alluding to. But that's just blue states that are already going to give their electoral votes to Donald Trump anyway.

That's what I say. So, you know, there's a CNN poll showing that Trump is up in all the battleground states. Yeah. Trump's got a secret voter base. So I don't know if that makes sense because the Democratic states that are enforcing these lockdowns are sabotaging themselves. Like, we were talking about this before. It's true. About emotion versus logical politicking.

Yeah. Where if, like, you had an apartment and there was one guy who was constantly, you know, you're a bunch of roommates. And he was like, everybody's got to pitch in their fair share to clean up. Everyone would groan. And the one guy would be like, if you make me in charge of the house, everybody gets pizza. They'd be like, yeah, pizza. And then the house falls apart because it's easy and, you know, they vote for the easy thing to do. Well, now you've got a bunch of people that clearly want to go to the bars.

Like, Wisconsin, everybody flooded the bars. They didn't care. I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't either. I wouldn't. But, hey, man, didn't care. I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't either. I wouldn't. But hey, man, people want to. Bars are too expensive. I like drinking out.

But people, restaurants and stuff and barber shops, like, people are like, I don't care. I'm going out. Yeah, it's true. These people are not happy with their Democratic governors. Man, you think about what happened in this pandemic, and I'll tell you what, I wouldn't be surprised if, like, conservatives greatly outnumber Democrats when it's all over everyone buying guns yeah figuring out what's like the laws are like another you see that viral video where the where the gun shop owner was complaining about first-time gun buyers no was he he was like he was he's like i swear these

first-time gun buyers you come into my store you can't get the weapon no you can't pay me more to get it faster you got background checks you waiting periods. How about the next time someone tries to take your stuff away, you vote against it? Yeah. He got really angry. Good for him. Because in LA. He should. Yeah, man.

In LA, these people are showing up like, oh, no, the world isn't, you know, we're an emergency. I better get a weapon. And it's like, where were you when everyone was saying, like, now you're coming in and shocked. Yeah. That these are the laws you voted for. Wait, I can't get a gun now? Yeah, because you voted to make it hard to get a gun.

It's not a call. It's you voted for these people, you know? Yeah. I mean, speaking of that, though, apparently there was an amendment to, I think it was the Patriot Act, that would have taken away the ability of the government to spy on browsing history. Okay. And it was relatively bipartisan, but it was mostly Democrats who were voting to amend it, to remove this power.

And it was mostly Republicans who voted against it. Huh. It failed by one vote, so the government retains the power to warrantlessly get your browser history. That's ridiculous. Messed up.

Yeah, that's messed up. And that's the problem I have when people are like, you gotta vote for the Republicans. I'm like, why? So they can empower the federal government's FISA search powers. They just extended FISA powers and it was like an 80 to 16 vote.

Like all these bipartisan support for him. You know what, man? The Democrats want to come out and complain. Donald Trump is a fascist. We must stop him. But let's vote to give him more executive authority. This is fantastic. More power?

That's why it's all fake. It's all fake, man. Yep. They all want the power. Right. They're like, well like well when i'm in office i definitely want to be able to warrantly you know spy on american citizens so okay i gotta vote for now but anyway back to the lockdown yeah i think these democratic governors

are like oof they're they're ending their like they're they're destroying their careers it feels like it yeah who's gonna want to vote for him especially whitmer it's like what are you doing yeah she is the queen karen she looks she does look like a queen professor umbridge queen professor umbridge she is queen karen yeah she really is check this out this is crazy this is crazy this so people are getting really mad about this i guess of course they are supervisor jim desmond publishes video messages calling for immediate reopening of san diego county businesses apparently he said something like rise up and people like i don't know if that's a real quote that's what people were sharing you didn't see him say that i was listening to it yeah i didn't hear that i didn't listen to the full thing it's five minutes long

well maybe maybe he did maybe he didn't let's just find out oh no he said rise to the challenge he didn't say rise up okay okay so people were being hyperbolic, but he basically points out, he makes some really, really great points without going into everything. Here's the guy who's smart. Go to the small mom and pop shops that are having their businesses destroyed. Yeah. And I'll tell you what they're going to tell you. Why is it that I sell clothing, but Walmart gets to keep, stay open selling clothing and

I can't. Why are the big box stores and the corporations being benefited from this lockdown why am i being held back yeah and these and and these democratic governors who are like and the media they're rooting for the billionaires while pretending like they're not i don't get it i don't know man i think there's just there's no there's no principle behind what they're saying it's'm angry. Yep. I'll tell you what though, I'm looking forward to going to the movies. I can't wait. I want to go out to eat. I want to go bowling. Bowling, yeah. I brought my bowling ball across the country to bowl again. I even have my bowling shoes. That's right, they still fit me from when I was 11. What?

Yeah. Bowling? Yeah, I got bowling shoes at 11. Yeah, but you know what? i was younger i was i would always say i was size 12 my my feet are size 12 but it's too big and then my bowling shoes they were i got them a little smaller because i was not a size 12 and my shoes were always way too big for me i wonder how many people i wonder how many people actually want to go out though you know i bet a lot of people would you go bowling right now definitely if i could yeah yeah for sure packed sweaty bowling alley is right there but i'm saying like jam packed tons of people all breathing and sweaty and touching everything i really want to go bowling

i'd go to the movies i'd go out totally the same thing yeah same thing person behind you coughs not necessarily sneezes two rows back, sneezes. Boom, all over you. You're not handling the same bowling balls. I've got my own bowling ball. That's true, you do. You're only prepared. I don't have to put my hands in other people's holes.

Oof. That's right, I said that. Phrasing. Phrasing. All right, yeah. Oh, I'm having such a good time today. Oh, man. Adam's causing trouble.

Oh, man. This is great. It's kind of a weird... It's been a weird experience oh man this is it's kind of it's kind of a weird uh it's been a weird experience man yeah you know it's been weird i'm not ready for it to be over once in a lifetime i hope i'm ready like i wasn't i wasn't that impacted by it we work we work from the home studio so i wasn't that impacted by i'm a gamer when they lock things down yeah video games and we got a skate park podcast that's great we have a skate park yeah we got that we got a fire thing like crazy we're That's great. We have a skate park. Yeah. We've been skating like crazy. We're so ugly.

Yeah, we've just been skating the ramp. I'm like, I don't know. I like going out and having powwows at restaurants, like sitting down, talking about stuff. It's true. I do miss that, too. And what I miss, too, is non-political conversations. Yeah.

Because, you know, there was... Yes, that's all it is nowadays. Because... COVID and politics. Because when you can't leave, nothing happens. Right. And so it's just like, I don you know, there was... Yes, that's all it is nowadays. Because... COVID and politics. Because when you can't leave, nothing happens. Right. And so it's just like, I don't know, the one thing that has to happen, the people who are still getting paid and still working are doing stuff.

That's what's crazy about all of this. The journalists are still getting paid. The politicians are still getting paid. And they're the ones mostly being like, lock everything down. It's like, yeah, okay, how about we stop paying you? And then we can, you know, then we can have that conversation about who, you know, what we should or shouldn't do.

Yeah, you don't seem very essential. Nah. I don't know, man. What are you looking forward to the most when you get your freedom back? Outside of bowling. You mentioned bowling. Yeah. Well, let's see.

Yeah, I don't know. Probably going and checking out philadelphia i went to high school i went to high school here yeah going that's funny like right when you got here they yeah i got i got here i'm like man i haven't been here as an adult i get to like really experience this place that i i loved as a kid i have a lot of i had a lot of really good friends you know in this area i would like to re you know meet them all and as adults we can like go out yeah it's cool i i really remember philadelphia being an awesome city and i was able to go like twice since i got here and it sucks like i really want to go explore maybe it's

time to move to texas man leave philadelphia but i want to experience philadelphia i'm saying because you know philadelphia uh I think, extended the lockdown. I know, yeah. That's what they said. First of all, New Jersey is not going to extend because North Jersey is basically New York Metro. Pennsylvania, so we're in the thick of it, man. Joe Rogan mentioned in passing

he might want to go to Texas. I say that mentioning in passing because the media loves to latch on to anything he says and then light it on fire. He's like, I might vote for Bernieie and then they're like joe biden or joe rogan endorses bernie sanders well bernie ran it as an ad i know man that was dirty dirty move man yep could you imagine like one day it's like it's an ad with you being like yeah i might vote for the guy it's out of context and like yeah but he said he might move to texas and so i'm thinking yeah he's got a point

man i don't know about texas though they have miniature cows there tim they have miniature cows in texas okay done yeah decision is made sold it there you go we're gonna have so many miniature cows no we were looking for cows all the way across the country it was amazing what do you mean they're amazing little cows yes we're They're like up to your hip. They're so cute. Making little milk. And, you know, I'm good. And then you got little cows, man. They're so cute. And they could rescue cows.

Eat grass. Oh, yeah, they do. I'm not going to eat the cows. I'm all good. No, you have the cows and you hang out with them, man. Yeah, they're your friends. I hear cows like music. They do. Yeah, they do.

They like jamming. Yeah, you go play music in the field. You should like make like a drum pad system so they can walk and hit drums and be like, oh, what's that? Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. There was a viral Reddit post.

Yeah, man. There was a viral Reddit post the other day about something called the Kolning or something. The what? The Kolning. Kolning. It's a Swedish song they sing to cows. Okay. And all the cows come running over to this woman who's singing.

And they all stand and watch. I've seen videos of people doing trumpet. Playing trumpet. And the cows are like, they all come to watch. And they're like, what is this? Wow, that is a great sound. Yeah. That's so cute.

Cows are jamming, bro. Oh, man. Cows are cool. Maybe it's because we artificially selected them. They are cool animals. I hung out with cows before. They're cool. They're so neat. Yeah? Yeah them. They are cool animals. I hung out with cows before. They're cool. They're so neat.

Yeah? Yeah, my uncle has a farm. He's got some cows. Maybe, you know, back in the day when we were breeding cows, the people who were breeding them would, like, be jamming out in their loot or whatever. Yeah, the cowboys used to play. Yeah, yeah. And the cows would come on by and they'd be like, I like this one.

Let's make more of them. Bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow. The mouth. What is it? The mouth harp. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Harmonica and stuff. Yeah. Cool. We could have chickens. Somebody. What is the mouth harp? Harpanica and stuff.

We could have chickens. What was that funny super chat we got the other day? They were like, Americans harp on about their freedom but you can't even own chickens. That stung a little bit. Freedom! The right to own chickens. Honestly, it's the closer you are to a big city, the less

you can be rural. The less you can do anything. It's so annoying. Because everyone's crammed together The closer you are to a big city, the less you can be rural. The less you can do anything. Basically. That's so annoying. Yeah, because everyone's crammed together. Yeah. And it's like. They say, you know, your rights end where my rights begin or whatever.

Like, the general idea is because everybody is different in what they're willing to accept. Okay. They make, like, there's a lowest common denominator to what is legal. Okay. Yeah, if you're in the middle of nowhere, who's going to complain? It's like you could light a flaming arrow and fire it straight up and then run. Sounds like fun. Sounds smart.

No, but I'm right. I mean, it's like a very stupid thing to do, but you got no neighbors. As long as you don't, like, burn a forest down or something, nobody's going to care. Okay. You do that in a city, and you're going to be arrested and charged with terrorism or something ridiculous. Right, probably. They're going to come for you, and they're going to be like, are you nuts? Like, you can, like, I know some people who live in the middle of nowhere. They got a bunch of guns, and they go going to be like, are you nuts? Like, you can, you can look at, like, I know some people

who live in the middle of nowhere and they've got a bunch of guns and they go in the back and they have, like, a shooting area set up and, like, they have a range and everything. Yeah, but my buddy in Texas

has got a range in the backyard. There's a funny viral meme where it's like, there's a target on a fence in a suburban area so there's neighbors right next door and it shows, like,

it's like a woman with, like, a rifle and she's pointing at the fence firing at the target and it's like it's like a woman with like a rifle and she's pointing at the fence yeah firing at the target and it's like it's clearly not real right but the joke is like firing into the neighbor's yard or whatever and then a bunch of you know like lefty people are getting triggered by it like these people are nuts and it's like it's not real that's the joke yeah you're falling for the rights memes again yep because, yeah. Yep. Because we can meme. This lockdown stuff has really made me want to accelerate, not necessarily bugging out,

but just getting more space to do more stuff. Yeah. So Adam and I had this five-acre Miami place. Yeah. And we had a.22 pellet gun and a bunch of CO2 cartridges, and we would just like... You know, I still have that gun. Oh, you do?

I do, yeah. In Arizona? It's in Arizona, yeah. It's not bad. What was it, like a Remington or something? cartridges and we would just like i you know i still have that gun oh you do i do arizona it's in arizona yeah it's not bad what was like a remington or something it's it's pretty good it's pretty legit dude that thing i mean you probably kill somebody with that yeah totally hit him in the eye absolutely soft spot in the temple yeah i mean if you're if you're close enough it'll go right through their head probably that thing was brutal was it 22 yeah it's crazy but it was it was air so i think it was like 17 feet what were the feet per second it was it was no idea no idea but we would we would put little co2 cans and then you know put it down and we'd like ding and then it would go you know you know we'd also blow up lithium batteries that was fun man we had a lot of fun in miami yeah but that's when you have space

you could do whatever you want true that's true so no one cared i couldn't imagine being one of these city full you know trapped in new york city these it's like people are gonna turn into the joker man probably they're like i've seen some weird videos like people are doing one one someone had like a studio apartment and they made a stop motion on their floor okay like mounted the camera and then because like what else are you gonna do you're basically in prison you know well i think that's why that's why in new york they've all been going out disregarding all the the orders yeah and so then who really gets impacted by it poor people i guess not the rich new yorkers

they can afford to deal with it nobody will mess with them they pay you know that's that that that tends to be how it goes but i mean for us for us here, I haven't really noticed anything. I've gone out. There's been no issues. I mean, there's some masks everywhere. Oh, are there? Yeah. It's a law, I guess, in Jersey that you have to wear a mask.

Period. If you go out, you have to be wearing a mask. Well, I mean, it's not that hard to wear a mask. It's not that bad. What if this is like... You should just open it up and everyone just wear a mask. Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Keep it clean. It's not that bad what if this is like you should just open it up and everyone just wear a mask wash your hands wash your hands keep it clean how many it's not hard how many people do you think or i don't know how to ask this question but i imagine there's a lot of people who are going to get really ripped and a lot of people who are going to get really out of shape okay depending

on like the sport you do that's true like if i was if if i was in uh new york like we wouldn't be skateboarding so we wouldn't be doing any exercise. But we're out here, we got a backyard, we got a mini ramp and a flat, so we're skating all the time. Yeah, that's true. Getting exercise. There's probably a lot of people that are probably losing it because they can't play basketball or they can't play football

and they're trapped in a cubicle. Yeah, man. We're too bad for those people. But I imagine a lot of them are probably doing exercises and stuff inside. Yeah. Just doing whatever. There was a funny video where it's like a bunch of people were protesting for having you know to get gyms to reopen yeah so they started doing push-ups and squats on the ground perfect and then everybody was like wait what why don't you why don't you just do that yeah exactly exactly how it works you're literally working out yep yeah perfect so we got uh we have we have another segment that we're gonna jump over to.

Let's do Super Chats first. You don't wanna do the last segment? No, I don't wanna get lost. Okay. Alright. What are we doing? Alright, we're gonna do Super Chats.

Alright, quick Super Chats. Super Chats. Make sure, y'all, if you wanna get into Super Chats, ask questions before we talk about the Anti-Civil Liberties Union. What up?

They no longer support civil liberties, so we're gonna talk about... We can make fun of them. Great. It's an issue of... Not necessarily men's rights. It's civil rights. It's the right

for due process, but the ACLU is now opposing it. But let's read some Super Chats. We will take your questions. Just Us, thanks to Super Chats, says, Beanie Gang, that's right. George Wood says, Yo Tim, love the show. Done it a few times in the last two weeks. How do you think the whole Obamagate situation

is going to play out? Arrests? My prediction right now, low-level arrests, FBI agents, not high-ranking officials, and I think they're going to slowly release this information and make some moves as we get closer to the election for two reasons. If Donald Trump doesn't get re-elected, they lose their chance. More importantly, these actions help Donald Trump get reelected. But Joe Biden, man, he's dirty. People are saying the audio is bad. The audio went out.

David Palmer says, We know the story behind how Adam and Tim met. What's up with Lydia's story? She was a meme smith on the internet,

and I talked to her online as she produced memes. Yeah. And then I said, One day I was like, You know, your knowledge of memes is quite impressive. I could use someone with your memeing ability. Yeah. That's exactly how this happened.

And ask her if you wanted to come out. In all seriousness, it has to do with Lydia's understanding of the news atmosphere. Yeah, I like to read the news. It made me kind of unpopular at the hospital because all I ever wanted to talk about was the news and everyone was like, please stop, please stop. So I would just rant at Tim and it worked great.

Yeah, because we were planning on doing this show and I was like, we really need someone who can help story produce. Yeah. And there you go. The rest is history. Boom. Yep.

Yes. Consistently. When I'm eating something that can be sauced. Indeed. It's basically Chick-fil-A sauce. Yeah, it's great. If you've ever had Chick-fil-A sauce, that's what it tastes like. I'm pretty sure that's what Chick-fil-A sauce is.

I think so. It probably has sugar to it, though. Yeah, sure. Where are we at? Matthew Hammond says, learn to code. Oh, yeah. That's a good point. There you go.

All these people can code. There you go. Beautiful. Now we're going to get banned. Oh, yeah. Robin says, first Super Chat relieved YouTube didn't cut you. Yeah, we'll see. A bunch of people have gotten banned recently.

Yeah. So I think it's only a matter of time. For real. Earlier, though, it was just YouTube being down oh yeah for sure yeah the entire chat is saying milk toast no is that your favorite food i mean milk steak they the question was what are you associated with milk toast do you know where milk toast comes from the fence sitting no it literally comes from a comic um about a guy whose name was milk toast and his name was milk toast in a reference to a very bland breakfast the guy okay so it's actually not sounds gross it's it's i i so i remember seeing a comment from somebody who called me a milk toast fence sitter and i thought it was hilarious yeah yeah it's not necessarily pretty

funny it's not it's not accurate it's just funny it's like a self-dig okay because milk toast referenced someone who's weak-willed ohdig okay because milk toast reference someone who's weak-willed oh right okay i'm certainly very yeah that's definitely not you yeah adamant and like yelling and complaining with the media all the time yeah but you definitely have a stance on on issues of freedom in the media but when it comes to like economics health care and stuff you know you're not going to hear me like even when i talk about the obamagate stuff i'm not like obama subpoena and so that's why they say milk toast because i'm not like that was very alex jones you go very alex jones in those moments yeah alex jones uh well not that you are but your act the way you act don't do that i won't where are we at michael connor says saw two of your vids

a guy put on YouTube two to three years ago. Soy Jesus and the Beanie need to hurry up and make some of us watch already. Also, Trump 2020. Yep, skate videos. Definitely skate videos.

Yeah, we could. Oh, we will. We definitely will. Justin Green says, hospitals losing employees even though COVID deaths lead to quick fed cash. Perhaps those chief exec types

aren't being honest. Looking at you, Cherry Hills. You have a million jobs lost. Healthcare jobs. Oh, man. Lance says, fed cash perhaps those chief exec types aren't being honest looking at you cherry hills yeah but a million a million jobs lost health care jobs oh man lance says who will be left to keep the government in check the watchmen julian gorgeous says thoughts on the last of us to leak sjw controversy i don't know anything about it i watch some honestly i don't even know if i care i don't i don't't care. Someone leaked it. Okay.

But what did they leak? The whole game? I don't know what they leaked. Honestly, I don't care that much. I know that they're DMCA, doing DMC takedowns on people. It's like creepy. Really? Yeah, and it's not legal either.

But people are saying something about like, there's a social justice controversy around the game, and I'm like you know man look if you like the last of us and you played it that's awesome yeah i never even played the first one so it's like whatever it's really really simple how you solve this problem if you don't like the last of us 2 because there's social justice stuff in it don't buy it do you remember what happened with battlefield 5 no it was chaos is that where they they like you pay to like get the best stuff they released a trailer where like the lead character on the cover and like in the trailer was a was a woman with a robotic arm okay and like purple hair all right in world war one and people were like i don't want

to play fortnite i want to i want to play world war one yeah yeah and so then the guy was like if you don't like it don't buy it and then nobody then nobody bought it. And he was like, wait, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Why isn't anyone buying it? And then they started changing it to make it more, talk about stupid, man. Realistic? I love it. You know what I love? I can't stand those colorful games.

They bug me. So one of the things that- I've never played Fortnite. I was recently in a Twitter thread between Shoe on Head and Sticks, Hex, and Hammer, YouTuber commentators, if you don't know. And they were talking about left and right debate. And I brought up how the left, it really feels like if someone becomes left wing, it's because they were attacked and threatened. And if someone becomes right wing, it was because they were celebrated and cheered for.

And so Shu agreed. She was like, if you go from left to right, you're great with a parade. if you go from left to right you're great with a parade if you go from right to left you're like picked apart and they go after you so when it comes to like games like battlefield yeah they're so scared of this small sect of lunatics that they compromise all of their values and make the world's worst game and then nobody buys it yep and then what do you do it's like you you you bend the knee to these lunatics don't be surprised if nobody wants to buy your garbage yep and then nobody buys it yep that's what i say about the last of us too listen man yeah if you don't like it the best thing you can do don't buy it boom that's it yep and then

what happens and then you know what they don't learn their lesson often. I think they will. Like, when you look at Birds of Prey... Like, why did this movie bomb so bad? I don't want to look at it anymore. I don't want to look at it. I looked at it enough. What a terrible movie. It was bad. It's creepy how...

It was bad. Do you know what game... You ever hear of Gamergate? No. I can't give you the full history of it, but one of the general ideas is that you have these video game companies that advertise on video game news websites. Okay.

So the news websites are basically colluding with the advertisers. Like, if I'm going to write a review for The Last of Us, and The Last of Us is like, we're going to buy a big ad spot, we want to promote the game, I can't badmouth the game. Right.

So they don't. And then people start complaining like complaining like dude that review was bs that game was terrible yeah and so the media companies are just basically catering to them it's an advertisement it's not real real media exactly same thing with news you see these it's it's access journalism it's true they're like birds of prey comes out and then everyone's like it's the best movie ever it's like just be honest they just got paid to say that, basically. Well, they're scared of losing access. That's what it felt like anyway. All the reviews were like raving and I'm like, who is reviewing this movie?

Did they even watch it or they just watched like the trailer and got a check from somebody? They're scared of losing access. So they get early releases and previews and stuff like that. Oh, right. Yeah, okay. I remember there was one tech reporter who was tweeting about how he was given an iPhone, like a new iPhone before it came out, and how tech journalism is the lowest form of journalism because they literally give you free stuff. Right.

And if you write bad things about it, they stop giving you free stuff. So they all write good things about the products they get because they're like, eh, it's a free phone, man. I got early access. Hey, this phone might be bad, but I'm going to get another free phone next year. If I tell you it's good. And to be honest, when you get the new Apple or the new Android,

they're not bad. It's not going to be bad. It's going to be the new high-end phone. You're going to be like, sweet, I got one before everyone else. That's the game. And yet, I'm still using a four-year-old phone that still works fine. Yeah, but what if they come to you and they're like, we'd like to give you three months in advance the newest phone. Yeah, they go to their friends.

They're like, look what I got, the new iPhone QR49 or something. QR49. And they're like, wow, how did you get that? It's like, well, I'm a journalist and I'm reviewing it. And they write a puff piece. It's the best phone ever. And then they'll maybe put in some fake shade. Like, I was concerned about the bevel on the camera, but ultimately it played out well.

It panned out well. It panned out well. And then you look at movies like, my favorite is Death Wish. Okay. With Bruce Willis. Yeah, I think I've seen it. I think the honest assessment was like an old samurai revenge you know modernized his wife gets killed he goes and buys guns oh

yeah that one then the you know killers come back and it's like universally panned and uh cover your kids ears now because i'm going to tell you what one reviewer a reviewer called it a gun nut masturbation film and i'm like i got headphones on it wasn't it wasn't even it was an entertaining popcorn flick but they destroyed it in the reviews audience loved it audience scores like 90 it's like hey that was fun that was cool like bruce willis you know he's like defending his kid his daughter she's like older now yeah and then you look at birds of prey and it's like the best movie ever you look at sorry hearing that in the same sentence i know just makes me laugh to the critics i couldn critics. I couldn't hold it back.

They give Dave Chappelle. I think this is really funny, too, because regular people are starting to notice this. Dave Chappelle did a comedy special, and it gets panned by critics. And then Amy Schumer, it's like everyone loved. And it's like, nah. You just, look, man, if you came out and said this game is good, this game is bad, people believe you. But the regular average American who's not politically initiated just saw you give Amy Schumer a thumbs up and started laughing, and they're like, now I know you're lying. Yeah, no, sorry, man.

Dave Chappelle is a master of his craft. He really is. He's a smart dude. Yeah, he's funny. He's funny. All right, let's read some more. Where are we at? Charmed Superior says, all Americans, please take some advice from a UK citizen.

Vote Republican. Don't fall like us and cherish the freedom you have. Wait, the UK voted overwhelmingly conservative in December. Chisholm. Adam, did you get a chance to check out anything I sent your way? Sent you something on plandemic and how triage actually works today. More to come. I did see that email. And when I opened it, I saw a bunch of links and I was doing other things so i didn't have the time to uh dig into the links but uh i definitely i'll check those out chet thanks hunter says missed the chat last night smash bros is win adam if you like old school platformers check out hollow knight should do a playthrough you're not the first to tell me that actually hollow knight it does look like a fun game. Cool. The Red Bike Master says,

Long time no chat. Work has been crazy. Keep on trucking, y'all. Will do. Thank you. Yiz the Eunuch. It's not that I want left-wing news to fail. I want fake news to fail of all kinds.

Yes. I don't mind if outlets have bias as long as they do real journalism. One hundred percent. Right there. Yes. It's not that I want left-wing media to fail it's that i want i want them not to exist anymore yeah no i'm kidding oh you took it a little further that was the joke it's actually a family guy joke okay when stewie's like it's not that i want to kill lois it's that

i don't want her to be alive anymore yeah like oh okay all right family guy's great yeah it is jesse you know referencing that the family guy episode the other day where they walk just across the border and then oh yeah and then quagmire says for those that didn't hear it they all walk across the border and don't realize and then consuela they're like we need to get to america and consuela goes you're in america and they're like what it's like yeah you're in texas and then quagmire is like wait a minute you mean we just walked across the border and we didn't even realize? Like, that's a problem, right?

Politics aside, we can all recognize it's a problem. And they look at him and then he just cuts. And I'm like, is Seth MacFarlane secretly, like, what was that joke? Because that makes me laugh. It's pretty funny. It makes Trump supporters laugh. I'm sure, yeah. It doesn't make resistance people laugh.

That's a good point. So what, you know. I don't know. Who were they targeting? But they've also, like, family guys ragged on SJWs a lot. They did, they have, like, a whole episode, I think. Several episodes. It wouldn't surprise me, yeah.

The Simpsons did it, where Mr. Burns goes to a college. Okay. And then sees all of the college students, and they're all SJWs. All right. And Mr. Burns is like, why am I paying for this? I gave you all this money. And then it turns out they're all robots, and they're like, their heads explode and mr burns is like why am i paying for this i gave you all this money and then it turns out they're all robots and they're like their heads explode or something something ridiculous okay family guy did a whole episode where brian tweets something offensive and the and the sjw's you know the mob shows up to his house and they're like

throwing stuff at him so seth gets it okay but he tweets stuff that's very much like generic resistance tweets i know i see it it's a little cringy sometimes. Maybe he just likes being rich, and he's like, eh, I'm not going to get involved. But then he puts it out through Family Guy. That Quagmire thing was hilarious. As long as he doesn't mess up Star Trek when he gets a hold of it. Right. I hope he does.

Get a hold of it. Get a hold of it. No, he won't. No, he won't mess it up. Orville was amazing. Yes. Orville was a great show. Is amazing.

Oh, yeah. I guess. Well, I've seen it. I've watched them all, so now it's past tense for me. Where are we at? Jesse on Fire says, did a vid about Cuomo getting caught with fake corona and comments I'm still getting are from dimwits that haven't googled to confirm it's true. Bizarre.

That's why I always do my videos. I didn't used to do my videos where it was always my face in the corner with the source yeah until people started taking the clips out of context and calling me a liar and i was like i'll just put this article on the screen full and i'll read from it yeah clip that they still try yeah they still try but it's obvious media matters did it they were like tim pool falsely claimed the star tribune said that Ilhan Omar may have married her brother. And it's my face like this. And then next to it, it says Ilhan Omar may have married her brother.

And I'm like, you can't do it. It was their article. Yeah. And so someone tried putting it on Wikipedia. And the editors were like, but the claim they make is next to an image of Tim Pool reading the paper that says Ilhan Omar may have married her brother. Yeah. Like, he's not falsely certain. He's literally reading the newspaper.

They try, man. That's why i do it that way now so that's why if you know if you end up making a video about cuomo and you have the source on the screen what are they going to say yeah unless they're like you know they try do you think he ever had it i don't think he ever had it you don't think chris uh chris cuomo had it no i don't think i say andrew cuomo chris cuomo yeah think so. I don't think so. I do. Cool. And I think they exploited it. No, that was my question. You answered. That's all I needed. That's all I needed.

Moving on. A different Adam says, maybe these journalists should learn to code. I love this. It's zingy. Student of History says, roses are red, violets are blue. Then we said to the MSM... I'm not going to read that because I don't know what that means.

Oh, no. Nope. Sorry. Could be bad. Looks like Japanese, maybe. BikerBob says, Tim, have you heard that Canada is going to be used as a test subject

for the Chinese Wu flu cure? I heard that. Our Prime Minister admits, admires the Chinese government. Well, it's because they're testing a vaccine, I believe. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Oh, wait a little bit. I'm totally down for getting, you know, vaccines or whatever. Like I mentioned, when you travel, you got to get a ton of shots like Hep A, typhoid, things like that. But if we're rushing this through, I don't trust major corporations to get it right on the first try. I agreed. I don't want to be a guinea pig. That's fair. Two Rivers Lad says,

in your main segment, you mentioned unmasking Flynn. What does that mean? I thought he was always a public figure. Is this kind of like a Voldemort thing? This was one of the, today was a long day. It took a while to get done

because I was trying, you know, doing this video talking about the Obamagate and the unmasking of Flynn is very, very difficult because most people don't know what unmasking means. So I'll give you a quick breakdown for, you know, to answer your question. When the U.S. is spying on foreign adversaries or foreign individuals, whatever,

just foreign people, they're not allowed to publish the names of Americans because Americans have a Fourth Amendment right. Oh, I'm here. Americans have a Fourth Amendment right. So when the FISA courts, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the courts say like, we're going to spy on this Kislyak guy, this Russian, then they get a document that says Kislyak said this, U.S. person said this. Unmasking is when they request the U.S. person's name be published for them, not necessarily to the public, not to the public. So when Joe Biden made an unmasking request, what was basically happening was he was seeking to find out the private, the name of a private American citizen that would help him understand the context of this phone call.

A lot of conservatives are upset because the unmasking was seen as abuse. The conversation between the Russian ambassador and Michael Flynn was not in any way suspect. An incoming national security advisor reaching out to a foreign diplomat and saying, hey, we're going to have conversations. Let's keep everything chill is completely normal. And even the Washington Post, who published his name, said this is what he should have been doing. So why then did so many people in the Obama administration seek to unmask the name of this individual communicating legally and correctly with the Russian ambassador. That's what people are asking. More importantly, who leaked it to the press?

And why did Obama have a meeting about it on January 5th, a day after the FBI moved to close the case and then struck intervene to reopen it? A day later, Obama, Biden, Comey, Sally Yates, Susan Rice, a bunch of people have this meeting where Obama gives them guidance. Susan Rice writes this really weird email like we're just doing everything by the book. To herself. To herself. Yeah, what the heck? And then on the 12th, Flynn's name gets leaked to the press from the Obama administration.

And on the 24th, the FBI writes down in notes, you know, why are we doing this? Do we want to prosecute him or get him fired? Why would the FBI be seeking to get somebody fired? Unless it was true that this, the point of this was to sabotage the Trump administration coming in. So here's what I tell people. And I've had a lot of conversations about Obamagate and I say straight up, you want to be very, very, very, very careful about what you assert, right? So a bunch of conservatives have said straight up, Obama was trying to sabotage Trump. That's hard to prove definitively. But what you can say is the FBI was trying to get a Trump administration official fired. Ask that question. That's your wedge in the door. The door's not

open, but you get that wedge there. I want that question answered. Why did the FBI try to say, we have no derogatory information on Michael Flynn. Then Peter Strzok intervenes, says, no, no, no, we'll keep it open. Then in this meeting with Obama, a day later, they cite the Logan Act, a law that's never been used before, which is archaic, to go after Flynn. His name then gets leaked to the press. Here's my personal opinion. The FBI is going to close the investigation. Peter Strzok intervenes. In the meeting with Obama, Comey mentions the Logan Act. They then start basically going after Flynn on the Logan Act. In the Washington Post article that finally published Flynn's name,

they do also mention the Logan Act. I think that ceded the information to Flynn, who panicked, and then in an informal meeting ended up lying about what he had said. The FBI used that against him. And they said in their notes, is it to get him fired or prosecute him? Or, you know, what are we doing here? So it seems like it was kind of a setup. It seems like Flynn may have made a mistake, but it seems like they were going after him. He panicked. And then look, perjury, like Obama claimed it was perjury. If it was perjury, that would have been under oath in a formal investigation. Flynn, this was not the case. Apparently it was an informal meeting

at the White House and they were like, ah, we got you now. You lied. Why was he unmasked in the first place? The FBI said no derogatory information. What was their reasoning for extending this and trying to use a law that's never been used before? Stands to reason, malintent. However, all you really need to say, if anyone's asking, is why did the FBI want to try and get Flynn fired? That doesn't make sense. That is not what the law enforcement agencies are supposed to be doing. After that, there's some serious questions that need to be asked. If the FBI was trying to get Flynn fired, then why did Joe Biden seek to unmask the name of Michael Flynn?

I'm not going to make any accusations against Joe Biden. I don't know why he made on January 12th, the same day the name got leaked to the press. I don't know. But I think it's grounds for some questions, maybe some written testimony or something. There was no grounds, we now know, for the Russiagate investigation. If that was the basis for a sound investigation, according to many of these resistance anti-Donald Trump types, then we also have substantially more grounds for an investigation in the other direction. I am not thrilled about the incoming Lindsey Graham hearings that's going to be happening. To me, that sounds like it's going to be boring. I am interested to know what they were doing and why they were doing it. And the only thing I can really say is it would be, in my opinion, improper of me to argue that Donald Trump shouldn't have

his own special counsel to investigate why this fictitious claim was levied against him, why for three years these individuals who had no evidence, who admitted under oath had no evidence, were lying about him. I wonder if the very least there's a defamation charge that could be levied. But if I entertained Russiagate for years, and I did, then it would be unfair for me to say we should not have an investigation to dig into the origins of this. There's a few really important points. One is that the dossier they used as a large portion of their pretext to start the Russia collusion investigation into Trump, which ultimately turned up nothing, was seeded with Russian disinformation.

Even socialist magazine Jacobin has said the Democrats were pushing Russian propaganda. We really need to understand why that happened. So we've got the John Durham investigation, which is now a criminal probe. They're going to be investigating a lot of things. Maybe there'll be indictments. I honestly don't know. The Horowitz report proved FISA abuse. This proved Devin Nunes was right. And now we're going to hear about, we're going to have Lindsey Graham's, did I say Lindsey Graham? It's Lindsey Graham who's going to be doing these panels. I don't know. I don't trust that guy. We'll see. We'll see how this plays out. But anyway, long story short, perhaps these resistance people shouldn't have asked for these set these rules in

play. This was the grounds for which they said we should have a special counsel investigation, you know, special counsel investigation into the Trump administration. And now we have more evidence to suggest that Barack Obama was involved. To what degree? We don't know. Some people are arguing that's a bigger scandal than Watergate because Obama knew about this when he shouldn't have. His own chief of staff sought unmasking of a political rival. It's very, very, very complicated. But at the very least, there is more evidence to suggest wrongdoing here than there was in the Russia investigation. If we all entertained Russia, it would only be fair to entertain something in the other direction. I don't like the hearings. I think they're boring. I think they're bad for this country. But if that's what we're going to get, then so be it.

The left, Biden, Me Too, all that stuff, they argued for all these rules, and they got the rules they asked for. They said, you know, believe all women. Now that it's affecting Joe Biden, they're throwing it out the window. I'm not going to play that game. If you put the Republicans and the conservatives through this whole thing and the Trump supporters and the Trump supporters say, OK, now it's only fair that we get our investigation. What's the argument? Yeah, I'm sorry. That's the case.

So this turned into something a lot longer based on the question of unmasking. But there I got it all. That was a valid question. It was it was tough earlier today because trying to do a segment that walks everyone through, it was like, it would have been three hours. Like I started and stopped so often because I'm like, man, I got to explain how the FISA courts work, the FISA abuse, 2012, 2011, NASA, NSA, FBI. And you even said nobody knows what unmasking is.

Yep. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you had a chance to explain it though. So maybe that will be its own segment. We'll see how that plays out. Let's read questions again. I was chatting with the chat. I just hanging out yeah chilling lindsey

graham i don't think we'll end up doing anything so we'll see how things play out jamie says thanks for not being fake news i always think you're as you're an objective as you're you're as objective as possible here's some money i really appreciate it nice i try to just be like i don't like i don't care if trump wins or loses i really don't i don. I really don't. I don't like the idea of Biden. I don't like the idea of Hillary Clinton. But in 2016, when it was like Trump versus Hillary, I don't care. I really don't. And so when it comes to who's right and who's wrong.

I think you might have said to me in 2015 sometime that you would prefer Trump winning. But the only reason you said is because it would be great for news. You're like, I just will enjoy watching it happen. The one thing I said all the time in 2015 was, if you like the status quo, then you want to vote for Hillary Clinton. The war, the intervention, and the American economy. The way the machine was churning,

it was enriching a lot of elites. i was like but if you want you know uh it's it's it's a long spiel i used to go on to people like if you want to see either a complete disruption of the system a challenge to the status quo or you want to see america like it's basically hillary clinton was the interventionist candidate yeah you know so it's like if you like everything we're doing overseas the middle east the oil exploration the seizing of you know the deposing foreign government governments and things like uh you know removing foreign governments and stuff hillary clinton was your choice oh politics yeah but if you wanted something different or you want to watch the world burn you vote for trump yeah but trump is you know i think my assessment back then was actually incorrect because Trump

really bolstered America and like made it work really well. Yeah. I didn't see that coming. Yeah. I wasn't going to vote for him. I don't care though. So what ends up happening is a story will come out and I'm like, it is what it is. Like the Republicans voting for the most part to block the amendment that would stop spying

on browser history. Yeah. That's complete BS. I'm like, why would I vote for these people? It was mostly Democrats who voted to remove that power. I don't like the Democrats either, though. I hate them all. F them all. Alright, alright.

Yeah, we're trying to figure out, Adam will probably take over, you know, a certain night or something. We're working on it, but you're probably going to do your own show anyway, too. Yeah, I think that is more the plan. Yeah, like, what do you think? Same setup? Just on your own channel? Yeah, probably.

Yeah. And then you and Ian and whoever else you have and things like that, you should probably just start doing it. Yeah. That's true. All channel. Yeah, probably. Yeah.

Charlemagne says, Wheel of Time is one of the best series that I've ever read. Yes. I have read the series two times.

The Stormlight Archive is also really good. I'm in my second run right now. Actually, on the way here, when we were driving here, we were listening to the first book and the audio book. Yeah. And I was just like, man, this is a good book. I remember it all now. How old is it? It started in the 90s, I think. Yeah. And I was just like, man, this is a good book. I remember it all now. How old is it?

It's really long. It's like 14 books long. Whoa. Okay, maybe not. Maybe not. It's like a thousand pages each. And it's pretty slow, but once you let the images take over, you know, when you're reading, it just goes right through. Cracklin says, with all the loaded questions, false premises, and outright lying, the leftist media is bound to get the black lung pops.

Austin Laverty says, Tim talking with his bosses when leaving the corporate media kill me or release me parasite but do not waste my time with talk absolutely that's kind of what I said

I said to the president of this company why am I here this is what your plan is you're wasting money I should just leave and they were like no no no they didn't want the bad press so they dropped a huge, ridiculous paycheck in my bank account hoping that would shut me up

or something. Golden handcuffs. John Hill says, I've been watching Tim every day since 2017 and I'm pretty sure my conscience is just a version of Tim.

Right, but this is a... Oh yeah, that's right. Bernie was abstained from two of these votes. Wait, so Rand Paul was on the right side, right? I'm assuming. On the 16th? I would assume so, yeah. Yeah, Paul was on the no list, right. Rand Paul is like... He's a rock. Yeah, well he's Ron Paul's kid, man.

I appreciate him. He's his own man, but yeah, he's amazing. Charlemagne says, part two of my first one. Read Wheel of Time for the first time when I was in sixth grade. I'm going to check out Sword of Truth due to Soy Jesus recommendation. Yes, it's really good. If you liked Wheel of Time, you'll love Sword of Truth. Man, that was a good series.

Jim Wattari says, for bird feed. We do need bird feed, actually. No, we don Wheel of Time, you'll love Sword of Truth. Man, that was a good series. Jim Watari says, for bird feed. We do need bird feed, actually. No, we don't. We have a lot? We have two massive bags. We just need to put the thing back up. We're good on the feed. I meant, send us money for bird feed. Yeah, there you go. Ryokan says, the Wisconsin

governor didn't follow the state law to extend the shutdown. The governor had to consult the state legislature to extend the shutdown more than 30 days. He never did. That's why it was unconstitutional. And now he's crying about it. So thanks for joining. Thank you. Wolf and Ken says in Australia, it's compulsory to vote or be fined 50 bucks. Would you pay the fine or vote for Trump? The main thing is right now I've laid out there's a bunch of really good reasons to vote for Trump. The main thing is right now I've laid out there's a bunch of really good reasons to vote for Trump. The main reason I'm saying I'm just not

completely sure is because there's a long time between now and then and I don't want to be like I'm very reticent to support literally anybody. Anybody. It's like I mentioned after Obama being like hope and change and I'm like yes Obama and then he's like I just blip a bunch of kids and I'm like I put my name on that? Come on, man. So we'll see. We'll see. You know,

but if it came down to it, like on the day of, I could vote for a bunch of different people. I've got to vote for just for Trump. So I'd vote. Who knows? Eggman says, I legit don't get people who are for the lockdown. Do they not have loved ones to feed? Are they not concerned about their rapidly draining bank account? We shouldn't even need to be explaining this. No, it's because they don't understand how economics works and they think the government just like snaps their fingers and food appears. They think the government can just print money and put in their pocket and they can buy food. They don't seem to realize that if you don't make stuff, there's no stuff to buy. Yeah, that's what they don't get. That's why socialism doesn't work. Charles says, air rifles have gotten

very advanced. If you have the money, you can get air rifles that can be used to hunt water buffalo. Wow. Several states have recently added certain air rifles to take deer. Amazing. John Perry says, if I whistle in my woods, the woods whistle back and my city friends didn't get it,

I'm using my Trump bucks on a new gun. Here's some bucks for you to do the same. I recommend a Mossberg 590, but you should get what you're comfortable with. I really like the placement of the safety on the 590, though. Well, we'll do. We'll figure things out, but I'm looking at other states. One of the reasons, bitcoin beers and what's a b word for guns i don't know you got just three b's right

bb guns no not powerful enough yeah what's a what's what's a i don't know bazookas oh there you go there you go bitcoin beer and bazookas uh i was thinking beretta beretta there you go one of the reasons i'm looking at other locations is Just better rights So we've looked at some states, but we also If we have guests, then Airport is mandatory Having people who can come

Well, I think that's something... We looked into it. It's just a big flash. Well, Lydia also looked into it a little bit. Seemed minor. I didn't see enough information. It was like a big flash over the ocean or something that no one could explain.

It's like, okay. I'll look at it some more tomorrow. It could have been an asteroid that blew up in the atmosphere. Yeah, it's happened in Russia. Yeah, it just happened last year in Russia. There's a lot of videos of that stuff. It's not, I don't know. Here we go. Mr. Laxative says,

if you're still into magic, look up the Red Enchantment's Repercussion and Furnace of Wrath. You will quadruple any damage you do it's a match made in burn deck heaven though it's a double-edged sword yeah if you can get them out under the right circumstances yeah but i mean is that even yeah that's that's that's enchantment so it's not even yeah like even commander it'd be difficult to pull off yeah furnace of wrath is like four red symbols also so you really need like a heavy red deck to play it i don't know i

don't know exactly what it is, but something like that. Jose1 Isaac Tavaris says, Milk Toast gets the money, which means Milk Toast adapts to the market, advocates free speech, maintains left-right viewership because of honest, authentic journalism. You do you, Tim. Actually, interesting, I think the biggest, I mentioned this before

we did a poll, the biggest group is Libertarian, but it's not right Libertarian, it's just like general Li libertarian. But it's not right libertarian. It's just like general libertarian. So it's basically people just saying freedom. And so the more I'm like, I don't know about them policies, but freedom, everyone's like, here, here. You make a good point, though, Tim. We can disagree on the policies, but just don't tell me what to do.

Freedom. Freedom. I like my freedom. Absolutely. It's Quindrome. Says, big fan from Australia. Love the work you guys do. What kind of skateboards do you guys own?

I have so many. You have too many. No, I don't have too many. I do have a lot. I was a professional skater for a while. I even designed my own board for Arbor Skateboards. So I have a few of those. That's like my go-to longboard that I ride.

It's a really good board. And yeah, then I started really getting into classical skateboarding, and now I own too many of those. Too many? Yeah. The board I use is a real 8.5 by 31.75 with Indy trucks. I believe

they're 144. The trucks that fit an 8.5. I got some Bones Swiss and Richter 54s. I think I got it. I think Jessup grip.a 54s. I think I got a Jessup grip. No, actually, I think I have Mob Grip on that board. Oh, no. No idea. Yeah, I love deluxe

distribution boards. I like Anti-Hero, Real. That's what I use. Let's see, where are we at? Joel says, Will you ever open up an Australian arm? We badly need honest commentators here. I think this was, you mentioned this before, and I read that, but that's a duplicate yeah the grizzly says polygon polygon decried racism because um you shoot black people in the new cyberpunk game the creator of the game is black and he called polygon racist also they have a cthulhu model module in cyberpunk

in short if we don't get cthulhu so is that the the karens at polygon totally we're getting it's fake outrage. Like, oh my gosh, it's something we can yell about. Yay! Awesome! We need clicks. Let's complain. And the maker's like, I'm black. I made that. What are you talking about? Exactly. It's like, come on.

Fake outrage is ridiculous. Let's see. I can't read this name. It's a bunch of letters and numbers. Hey, Tim, you should see the original Death Wish movie from 1974, Rip Charles Bronson. I was skeptic of Bruce Willis doing the remake, but for once they actually didn't copy the storyline frame by frame. I heard it was good.

Thomas Ray says, Texas would love to have you guys. We have 80 miles an hour speed limit. Government isn't the worst, and if you pass a background check, you can get a gun same day. I like that. I noticed that speed limit. Yes. It's nice. Yeah, it is 80. It's nice. Yeah, it is 80.

It's nice. The Gaming Ginger says, What's up, Tim? I'm paying the five bucks for your membership, but I noticed some of the previous streams don't appear unless I've watched it live. Do you have any ideas as to why? Enjoy the donation, and thanks all you do. Wait, you said five bucks, but you gave 50, bro. I hope you... Well, no, for the membership. Oh,

okay, right on. So for one, thanks for that super chat. I appreciate that. If you go to youtube.com slash timcast IRL, there's a playlist called Live Shows, which would have every episode in it. But YouTube can be funky, so... June F. says, Simpsons did it. Simpsons did it, by the way.

Do you have a favorite Halloween Treehouse of Horror segment or episode? Oh, man. I don't know. It's been so long since I've even seen any Simpsons episode. I can't remember a thing. Okay, I got to read this one. Lauren Chen versus Lauren Southern in a boxing match. Who wins? Chen, 100%.

Why do you think? She's way badass-er. Pardon my French. Whoa, all right. Write it down. You got to bleep it. Write it down. Yeah, okay.

That's the super chat. Oh, yeah, we can leave it in. I think it's a funny question. Just leave it in. I don't know uh who would win i'm biased so i don't even know who any of those two are so um i'm gonna go with chen as as somebody who is yeah well trust me lauren chen is a hoppa okay oh what hoppa hoppa she's part asian half asian yeah oh is that what that means? And I'm a quapa. Quarter Asian.

Quarter Pacific Asian. So I'm going to be totally racially biased. Whoa. But you're allowed to, right? Thanks a lot. No. No? I'm making a joke specifically about, okay, I'm not going to go there anymore.

No, no, no. Just keep moving on. Keep moving on. Jmax says, follow that Twitter spat today between some creators on the whole debate me bro drama. I really wish people would stop seeking owns and just have a discussion. I think it would be way more productive and everyone could do

with a bit of differential perspectives. Amen. This is why I don't do discussions. I don't debate. Debates are stupid. Debates are like, this is what people don't get. Someone tweeted at me like, I disagree. Debates are great because then people can share their views. That's not what debate is. Debates have tactics.

There's something, I think it's called a gish gallop. I could be wrong. Where it's like, you try and say a bunch of random nonsense to confuse your opponent. It's stupid. Debate is about appearing like you've bested them when you're really using tactics and techniques to confuse them to appear like you've won. I know that's not necessarily what people think of when they think of debate. I don't like it. I like discussion. If I said something like, I don't think UBI, universal basic income, makes sense. And then someone said, but Tim, have you considered this study from this institute showing that these things happened? I'd say, wow, I didn't realize

that thing existed. Let me read it. Interesting. Well, how do you account for these things? And that's a real conversation. Really trying to get together to understand the truth and share ideas. Nobody does that. That's why I stopped doing these. I did a handful of these like online discussions with people and they immediately were just like snipping clips and being like, I just destroyed Tim Pool. And I'm like, you took the clip out of context. Yeah.

Like, and it wasn't even destroyed. It was me going like, that's a good point. I appreciate that. And I'm like, I got you. And I'm like, okay. and i'm like okay i agreed with you nice yeah it's really it's really weird these all people a lot of these people are so adversarial they don't know how to respond when they say something and i go that's a good point yeah and then they're like wait what uh but i had all these other points that i was gonna but you're so at you but i was gonna prove i was smarter than you but you're but you. Yeah, I don't know.

You made a good point, I guess. Yeah. People aren't used to that. Yep. Yeah, I love this one moment with Jordan Peterson. I know the interview was clipped improperly, but he was asked about social justice in restaurants, and he says we shouldn't do this at bakeries.

And then Jim Jefferies is like, what about the civil rights era? And then Jordan goes, perhaps I was wrong about that it's like that simple just like oh i didn't oh there you go you know i get so much easier when you do it that way people need to let people be wrong yeah and say if it's okay like all right but but you you can be like why do you care what someone else is mad at you if you're if you're wrong you know i know exactly it's people trying to defend their egos. It's an emotional thing, not a logical thing. I had a bunch of people tweeting at me about the Ahmed Arbery video. I tweeted it out.

And I'm like, bro, I have no idea. I go into all my videos all the time and I'm like, I was wrong about that. There are a couple of people who have tweeted me like, hey, you're wrong. I disagree with them. And I'm like, but I'm going to put your video in my description anyway and say, this person said I was wrong and I'll link to their video. yeah even smaller channels it's great i don't care i don't i don't i say all the time i'm like i don't i'm not i'm not infallible if i get it wrong i get it wrong i just gotta go in and nobody is yeah it's the weirdest thing right people that's the problem

with media organizations yeah they'll be wrong they'll put out a fake story and instead of being like sorry about that guys you know we try our best they they cover it up they sweep it under the rug or they just don't fix it yeah pathetic well here's a random comment it's not a super chat but it's amazing mango don 555 says skateboard brand tna tim and adam oh beanie boards i said beanie boards the other day remember i don't care it's awesome i love it nice job mango yeah one of the things that I'm looking for right now is the old. So I wanted I have plans. We have scanner for those unfamiliar. It's SCNR.com.

They're doing like on the ground in-depth reporting. It looks good. Awesome stuff. And we'll have some announcements about it coming up. But there is separately. There's going to be another outlet, which is going to focus on fact checking and aggregation and some original reporting. So the goal would be when a big story breaks, we do a breakdown of it. We link to sources and we critique or, you know, we'll fact check. We need space for that.

And so I've been looking into trying to find a building where we can house this. And it's very, very difficult. There was one place I almost got last year. It fell apart. Now the pandemic happened. So it's been a nightmare. But we also want to have a retail shop in the front with skateboards, gaming, and other stuff. People can actually come and hang out. And we'll have a mini ramp, and we'll make it more of a public thing. And we'll have a studio in the back. And then crazy people will show up, and we'll have to fight them off with brooms and stuff. I mean, I could see.

Lydia, let me get your camera. Yeah. Can you picture? Can you show the shirt? Oh, yeah. Can you picture that on a skateboard? I can. Or maybe at the top of the skateboard. And every board comes with a the shirt? Can you picture that on a skateboard? I can. Or maybe at the top

of the skateboard. And every board comes with a beanie. Like it's wearing a beanie. It's the perfect logo. And every board comes with a beanie. Wearing the beanie.

Wearing the beanie. I love it. That's great. Good ideas are happening, people. And then people will get heat stroke and they'll sue us. Oh yeah, it'll be great. No, no, it'll come

with a waiver. You have to sign. Yeah, don't wear this in the summer. Yeah, all right. But we'll see. That's one of the big plans. I would like to have a storefront with skate stuff with a waiver. You have to sign. Don't wear this in the summer. Yeah, all right. But we'll see. That's one of the big plans. I would like to have a storefront with skate stuff and a ramp.

People can hang out. Because we also want to film and just be like this open, transparent news space. So if someone has a problem and they're like, you wrote fake news, you can literally come to the retail shop. Go to the skate shop and someone will be working there making boards. And you'll be like, I need to talk to somebody about this story. And then we'll be like, yeah, give us a second. And then you can submit your retraction request in person so it's like we will have the best correction policy yeah all these news outlets are like if you would like

a request for a correction send us an email no no no you show up at the store and you bang you bang a little gavel we'll put a little gavel is someone hitting the gavel oh yes what is your grievance and then and we have one of the fact checkers come out and be like, what up? And someone will be like, you said that Donald Trump did a backflip. It was a front flip. And we'll look at it. We'll go over the evidence and go, you were right. Let's go fix it.

Yep. That would be great. That would be the most transparent. That's good reporting. So we need a space. We might have found one. The problem is a lot of these buildings are really old. And it's like you can buy them and then you've got to put a ridiculous amount of work into them.

I'm not going to rent's that seems nuts that's what ruined miami you know you could buy a house but then someone has leverage on you exactly think about like you couldn't do anything really yep someone comes by and they're like i don't like what you do i don't like your politics your list is over get out get out not really dangerous dangerous nope ole says hey tim long time viewer have you guys ever talked about operation tomodachi Get out. Get out. Not really. Dangerous, dangerous. Nope. Ole says, hey, Tim, long-time viewer. Have you guys ever talked about Operation Tomodachi? I was a U.S. sailor on board CVN-76, and some seriously shady stuff happened. I can send emails for follow-up if you want.

If you're on Twitter, hit me up. There's my tag right there. I'm looking it up. Boom. Easy. Tweet at me. Best thing you guys can do. Yeah. Follow Adam.

Yeah. And send him stuff, and then Adam can go through all the suggestions and do. Yeah, follow Adam. Yeah. And send him stuff and then Adam can go through all the suggestions and everything. That would be awesome. Thank you. James Wu says, I believe you said the Logan Act

They always do, don't they? They always do. Look, man, this is why I always say, like, I don't care for the Republicans. Because what?

You've got Lindsey Graham. He's not doing anything. He's not going to do anything. You've got Trey Gowdy. He didn't do anything. You've got a bunch of Republicans who literally do nothing. Peter King, you got men. Look, there's a lot of crony establishment people on the Republican side, too.

There's a handful of good Republicans. There are a couple of good Democrats. But for the most part, the whole system is just filthy. Aaron Garcia says, Tim, thanks for clearing up the unmasking.

Should we should we talk about the ACLU?

Yeah, let's do it. Sure. Let's do it. Let's do this. Why not? So the American Civil Liberties Union, I used to be a big fan. Now they're basically just the anti-civil liberties union. And I'll tell you why. But first, let me show you this story. This is from NBC News picked up by Yahoo. ACLU sues Betsy DeVos over new campus sexual assault rules. Let's read a little bit. Give the context. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos revised federal guidelines on how sexual assault allegations should be handled on college and K-12 campuses is the target of a federal lawsuit filed Thursday, claiming the changes would inflict significant harm on victims and dramatically undermine their

civil rights. The suit filed on behalf of four advocacy groups for sexual assault survivors, including Know Your Nine, Girls for Gender Equity, and Girls for Gender Equity, is the first that attempts to block the Department of Education's new provisions before they go into effect on August 14th. The rules, championed by DeVVos effectively bolster the rights of due process for those accused of assault and harassment, allowing for live hearings and cross-examinations. It's what agency officials say was lacking under the Obama administration to protect all students under Title IX, a 1972 law that prohibits gender discrimination, including sexual assault at schools. Quote, this new federal effort to weaken Title IX

makes it more difficult for victims of harassment or sexual assault to continue their educations and needlessly comes amid a global pandemic, according to the suit, which was filed in U.S.

District Court in Maryland by the American Civil Liberties Union and the New York-based law firm Stroke and Stroke and Levon, LLP. The suit names DeVos, the Education Department, and Kenneth Marcus, the agency's Assistant Secretary of Civil Rights. The department names DeVos, the Education Department, and Kenneth Marcus, the agency's

Assistant Secretary of Civil Rights. The department did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the complaint. So let me just stop right here and break this down simply for you. Even NBC News says under Title IX, they needed more due process, live hearings and cross examinations. Agency officials said this was lacking. Why is the ACLU seeking to take away due process from the accused? I'm kind of shocked. This is something that DeVos is, I'm actually okay with. I know. A lot of people have been. I agree with this. So let me give you some. This is good. Why are they fighting it? Well, let me give you some context. Okay, go ahead. Title IX is an anti-discrimination provision that's been used.

So basically, you know, feminists have said if a woman is assaulted or harassed, then it's unfair because if the universities don't go after these individuals, it's discrimination. OK, what's ended up happening is a lot of these universities don't care about due process. Right. They're not a legal court. So they operate under what's called a preponderance of evidence. If a woman accuses you, they ask you what happened. And if you say something like, well, we were, you know, drinking and hanging out at my apartment, they'll say, oh, good enough for us. You admit you were there and she said it happened. You're expelled. Due process would be I would like to cross examine, you know, confront my accuser. Things that you normally would get in a court under English common law.

And with the Fifth Amendment, we have a right to real due process. That doesn't exist. Betsy DeVos is trying to give the same rights at universities that we get in a court of law. That makes sense. To a certain degree, right? Okay. Well, it does. If some woman comes out and says, this man assaulted me, well, do we destroy his life on your

word? We need evidence. That literally happened to my friend. Right. Yeah. So Betsy DeVos wants to enact these rule changes and bolster the ACLU is arguing that violates the civil rights of the women. How? But think about the logic there. That doesn't make any sense. It doesn't. Look, man, everyone has equal rights, then it's just equal rights. When's the ACLU going to file suit to abolish the Fifth Amendment then? Right. It's not fair that the accused get to confront their accuser. That's violating their civil rights.

What? So you can just accuse and then they just trust that and throw the guy in prison? They've done it. I know they have. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know about like Mattress Girl? Yeah, I think we talked about it. Emma Sulkowicz?

Yeah, and then she shifted, right? Now she's a conservative or something. Apparently, like, when she accused this guy, there were text messages showing that she was, like, it was not true what she claimed. What she was saying, yeah. She was begging him. She was messaging him for years, saying, I love you and stuff like that. And then it was, like, two years later she accused him or something. I'm probably getting the details wrong, but there are a lot of questionable you know

storylines yeah uh questionable bits of evidence so it would make sense that we we make sure we protect the innocent yeah exactly yeah without these rules you're not protecting the innocent you empower exploitation exactly why would the aclu seek to uh oppose this i don't know that doesn't make any sense to me. I can tell you why. Go ahead, please. Enlighten me. So for those,

I think we may have talked about the story, but I'll tell you guys the story. The ACLU famously defended the KKK in Skokie, Illinois. We talked about this recently, I think. Oh, yeah. Okay. Right, right. And they were very much liberal.

Like, we believe in liberty and freedom and we're going to stand up for the right to free speech. I don't agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. And back then, liberals cheered for it. That's why today the left is no longer liberal. It's the easiest way to explain it. If anyone ever says to you that, you know,

they're liberals or whatever, ask them about defending the right to free speech of the Klan. Because that's what liberals used to do. That's what they still do. The left today is not liberal. Liberals have left, and the ACLU has abandoned all liberal principles for money. So the ACLU fought against

Donald Trump's travel ban. Okay. He was, you know, this man in the seven countries. And they immediately gained a whole bunch of leftist donors. It was a windfall to how much cash they made.

When they then defended the right to free speech of Unite the Right in Charlottesville, they got attacked for it and immediately bent the knee, saying, please don't take our money away. We would be very upset

if we lost our money. They got a taste of that. Yup. So now they're the anti-civil liberties union. They don't defend free speech. They have backpedaled. And now they're actively seeking

to take away civil rights. That's ridiculous. That's the anti-civil liberties union. It's gross, man. And it bugs me out because I worked for a company where we fundraised for the ACLU. I was very proud. I was like, dude, the ACLU is awesome.

I remember I was in Chicago. We were doing street canvassing. And I was fundraising to one guy and he was like, you stop people in the street, you wave like, you know, so we would ask, do you have a minute to talk about defending civil rights? And a lot of people would hear these stories. And then I remember talking to one guy who said, you know hey so we would ask give a minute to talk about defending civil rights and a lot of people would hear these stories and then i remember talking to one guy who said you know that like they very famously defended the kkk who like came up and they marched through a

jewish neighborhood and i was like i absolutely didn't know that and he was like you don't care and i was like i don't like these people yeah i don't like the message they bring yeah i don't agree with what they're saying but we have a first amendment in this this country. And so you have to recognize that, you know, dictators love the idea that they can infringe upon the rights of one, use it as a pretext, because then they can take away the rights of all. And the guy was like, I completely agree. He's like, I love what they do. Man, I wonder what these, you know, old school liberals think now

and how many of them sold their values out. Yeah. Think about like, you know, I was talking to somebody last, I think it was like a year or two ago about this shift and i was told that employees there like the people who work there like they know yeah they know they've sold their souls they know it's gotten bad they're no longer fighting for civil rights i think that's the gist of the story oh there's a little bit more let's read a little bit more here just There's actually a lot more. Oh, wow.

Well, I don't want to get into too much of the nitty-gritty. But they say, DeVos last week denied that the final rule would discourage victims from coming forward to report abuse and instead allows for schools to be more balanced in how they review claims rather than through what she called a kangaroo court approach. We can continue to combat misconduct without abandoning our core value of fairness, presumption of innocence, and due process. How schools should address sexual assault comes amid the larger Me Too movement, focusing on claims of misconduct that might otherwise go ignored.

Schools that fail to adhere to Title IX requirements risk the loss of federal funding. So I'll tell you what, man. I think we all saw where the Me Too movement went, and it was predictable for a lot of people. The moment it came out for Biden. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We didn't mean against us. Yeah. What do you mean?

You know, it's ridiculous. Now you get Vice President creepy hands and they they don't care. Creepy hands, man. Yeah, this this is something that we needed for my. So I mentioned my friend. A lot of people are making jokes about who my friend was i'm just gonna tell the story like when i was in high school one of my good friends was dating this girl and he broke up with her and it was just like as people do they break up and like three days later she was freaking out at him in school like yelling at him you know

screaming like you know emotion just emotions and then she just claimed you know a couple days after that that he raped her and he went to prison for two years and then after about like a year and a half to two years later well while he was in prison she she said to like a doctor or someone that look i feel really guilty i said this when i was younger i was emotional i don't love him anymore i don't feel the same way he didn't rape me i was just mad at him and it was like what and then the courts found out and they released him and he lost two years of his life because he didn't there was no questions asked he was just put in prison and they just believed what she said and it was it's ridiculous because this kind of thing didn't exist and you also got to

think about what it looks like on a resume or your life history when there's a two-year gap. Exactly. What happened? Where were you? Oh, I was in prison for rape. And it's like, how does that look? But I was innocent. Trust me.

And he was. He was innocent. Have you seen the movie? But that's not changing his record. Have you seen the movie? Well, it's probably expunged. Who knows? I don't know how it works.

Have you seen The Life of David Gale? I have, yeah. Kevin Spacey movie, nonetheless. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, creepy, right? I don't know how it works. Have you seen The Life of David Gale? I have, yeah. Kevin Spacey movie nonetheless. Yeah, that's true. I haven't seen it in a long time. I know he's in prison or something. No, he's not in prison. Oh, I don't remember. Someone's in jail. No, the guys who accused him mysteriously

died. Wait, say it again? The guys who accused Kevin Spacey mysteriously died. Oh, okay. I don't know. Was it two people? I do not remember that movie at all. Yeah, that was weird. You don't remember The Life of David Gill? I don't remember it, no.

Basically, I've seen it, but it's been a long time. It's a great movie. I recommend it if you guys haven't seen it. He's an anti-death penalty activist. He goes to a party

and he's a college professor. And this woman basically is like, you know, let's hook up. She says things like, you know, harder, harder, scratch me and like tear it off about her clothes and he does and then she uses that against him to claim that he raped her and it was because apparently she was failing his class and she tried to offer him you know sex in exchange for a good grade he said no okay so she accuses him his life

is immediately destroyed he's fired he can't get hired anywhere and then she just leaves and so what ends up happening is the assumption is that she got scared and fled and he must be guilty even though there was no accusation no no proof no right his life and so the the long story short the movie is about him he's on death row and he's trying to explain the story of how he ended up there and like you know this other woman that he was working with, how she died. It's a really, really old movie, so I'm going to spoil a bit of it for you. But basically, it destroyed his life, made him extremely, I guess, suicidal. And then he ended up martyring himself for the cause to resist the death penalty.

But it's interesting how, man, the court of public opinion, your friend probably deals with the ramifications of that still to this day in some capacity. I mean, he has a wonderful family and a wonderful job now, and I'm really, really happy for him. That's good. Two years. I mean, but it still doesn't change what happened to him. Two years, that's a lot of time. And there are going to be people who probably would believe you.

If you went to prison for something like this and then got released. You know, it was proven you were innocent. People are still going to have in the back of their minds. Yeah, exactly. Possibility. Oh, yeah. It's crazy that people assume if you're being arrested, you've done something wrong. Yeah, that's scary. I agree.

That's the world we live in now, though. Yeah. Yep. I've seen so many videos where the cops will be arresting somebody like you could put on a cop uniform and just chase someone down and they will help you that's how scary that's it's it's a con artist thing it's uh it's it's you it's the use of authority for manipulation if you are if you look like a cop you can be out you can be having someone on the ground and they could be screaming for help and no one will help this person so if you want like this is actually what criminals and con artists do to a certain degree they use that view of authority think about that mentality people have

scale it up to someone getting arrested doing a perp walk and then the news being like adam criggler was arrested for you know felony embezzlement he robbed you know and it wasn't true everyone sees it on the news they don't care it's true as far as they're concerned you were arrested for it therefore yeah that's why we always say we got it innocent until proven guilty. Yeah, what happened to that? The ACLU saw some green. Betsy's trying to bring it back, man.

This is the weirdest thing. You know, there are certain cultural issues related to, you know, conservatives, religious issues, life and choice kind of issues death penalty issues things i don't agree with but right now when it comes to the constitution freedom the economy you've got bill barr challenging these states on constitutional

efforts you got betsy devos trying to bring back you know due process and i'm like these are not and ran paul yeah man good dude yeah good dude staple so bernie sanders didn't show up for this vote what's up with that you think he'd be on the forefront. He could have been the one vote to end this spying abuse if he showed up. What? What's up with that? That's Bernie. That doesn't make any sense.

I don't like any of these people, man. Yeah. But I'll individually support the people I think do a great job. It's funny that people want me to yell out who I'm going to vote for. It's like, bro, I'd vote for Rand Paul in two seconds. I don't even agree with him on a lot of issues, but he's a man of principle. He stands up for the rights of the people. And I really, really respect that

about him. He's always on the side of like, the government shouldn't have the power to do these things. He's always. He's not perfect. I'm sure there's some things I can call him out for, but I think he's a good dude. But let's grab the last few super chats, and then we will all go to sleep.

And sleep comfortably. And by sleep, I mean play Doom Eternal. And drink whiskey? Drink whiskey. I might have a little bit of whiskey. I've been slowing down. I don't drink every night. As long as there's games. It is good, though. If you haven't already, there's one thing you really gotta do.

Christian says, check out Matt Christensen's latest video on the purpose of government.

I made a tinder profile for the slayer to entertain myself during lockdown sweet rip and tear I will certainly do that we didn't go too far over this time but we're about ready to wrap up so if you haven't already I did mention the like button subscribe notification bell

Monday through Friday 8pm we do the show we do it uh we do it live we put up clips the next day and uh we'll probably have some specials you know uh at some point weekend stuff maybe adam's deep dives we'll we'll we're still figuring things out lots of expansion underway yeah we are i have been consistently looking for a building so we can bring on more people do more shows gaming and a ton and a ton of other stuff. So we'll get there when we get there. You know what we need to do is have a jam session at the end of one of our shows.

Well, we'll do that maybe tomorrow for Friday night.

Friday night. One last super chat. You said it, so now we have to do it. For sure, dude. Sets says, Rodney Mullen's still the best skater. The best skateboarder right now? Aurelien Girard. Rodney Mullen may not have been the best skater

ever or at any point. Yeah, but he is always phenomenal and he create crafts yeah i guess he totally was the best skateboarder for for a while yeah i mean rodney mullen is pretty amazing yeah it's true you could argue legacy wise he's still the best in terms of his vision yeah was beyond anyone else okay that's definitely true there really was a period where he was doing he was inventing tricks on a regular basis and people were confused non-stop that's true so the thing about skateboarding is there is no best skateboarder in the sense that

they all do different tricks okay you know so if somebody like definitely different styles yeah tony hawk is a vert skater right so he can he's he's probably at this point he's 52 i think i don't know so i don't know he's older than that he still can, he's probably, at this point he's 52, I think. I don't know how old, so I don't know. He's older than that. He still slays. He's amazing. Slays, man. But he's, he's, he's, he's not a young man anymore.

You know what I mean? Right, right. So there are better vert skaters, but he's still really good. I would say right now in terms of all around ability, the best skateboarder I've seen is Aurelien Giraud. I still have yet to see any of his videos. He's insane watching this guy. Really?

Yeah, dude. It's, it's like, I can't even, I can't even videos. He's insane watching this guy. Really? Yeah, dude. It's like I can't even believe the tricks he's doing are real. This guy is some of the craziest stuff I've ever seen, ever. So it's only going to get crazier as time goes on. Agreed. But it depends on your definition of what the best skater is. Anyway, I'll leave it there. Thanks for hanging out.
