Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello everyone and welcome to the TimCast IRL podcast. My name is Tim Poole and joining me tonight is... You know it. Adam Krigler. That's right, it's me, Adam Krigler. How you doing guys? Thanks for joining us. Appreciate you. Joining us tonight as well will be... Lydia, the producer, Sour Patch Lids. Sour Patch Lids. We have an excellent show for you tonight. We'll be talking about comedy, social justice warriors destroying it. Adam, please please share with me
Starting point is 00:00:25 your expert opinion well Tim let me tell you I'm not an expert but I'll share my opinion with you there's a cat walking around that was that was you know you know you know here's what I was thinking man I'm wondering why it is that all of these podcasts do so well on iTunes and stuff, and they all sound like that, like all of these prestigious podcasts. It's so monotone. You know, maybe we should really slow it down a little bit, Tim. I can't stand – I hate podcasts.
Starting point is 00:00:55 No. Do you? Why? Because it's like all of these people – well, it's not the podcast in general. I like doing them, and I like – there's a lot of them I like. Yeah. But it's like so many people just do the exact same things for podcasts okay like look at these stupid microphones these things are great
Starting point is 00:01:10 what are you talking the only reason anybody uses these mic is because they're the ones that joe no but it's not that it's like everybody uh oh i just got a mad splinter oh dude this table got me already i got a huge splinter tables taking victims. Oh, dude, this table got me already. I got a huge splinter. The table's taking victims. It was in my finger for like a full week. It's true. It was like Chinese torture. Because it was like in the side of the nail. You guys know what I'm talking about?
Starting point is 00:01:32 What are we talking about right now? I got a splinter right in the middle of my... This is great. Anyway, the point I was going to make is... What is the point you were trying to make, Tim? Listen to all these podcasts, and they do the same thing with music, and they talk in the same way, and it's like you'll turn on some podcast and like it'll be like so recently I was watching a TV show and then I'll go like
Starting point is 00:01:51 In the background and I'm like, it's all the same thing. It's I just can't stand it wait But you mentioned they do music. Yeah, but I don't do that. Do they do music how we're gonna do music We're gonna do live music Make sure all of you who are that's right we are stick around because at the end of the show we've got the jam cam
Starting point is 00:02:07 set up and it's preliminary but I guess we figured we'll play some songs. Adam and I both play music because we're going to jam out.
Starting point is 00:02:16 But the lead story of tonight the media is claiming that fans of Rick and Morty are demanding a boycott which is the most insane fake news I have ever heard. But in this context, we also have a great tweet,
Starting point is 00:02:29 a tweet from the great Count Dankula about comedy that we thought would be interesting to talk about. It's so true. In terms of, you know, just what's going on. It was a point he made about the era of comedy. We have all these stories, and we got a bunch of other stuff. You know, aliens, anti-grav technology, weird stuff. The sun is going into lockdown.
Starting point is 00:02:47 This is the episodes I live for. It's going to be awesome. We're going to have an ice age. Oh, okay. That's what they're saying right now. They didn't say exactly that. I mean, if it continued on forever, then yes. But it has happened before, and it's happening again.
Starting point is 00:03:04 And I love the daily mail article shows like big ben buried in ice oh my gosh like okay okay calm down hyperbolic but it's it it is interesting because one of the arguments made by a lot of conservatives in reference to climate change is that one of the arguments i should say is that solar activity which causes it and now that there's going to be a uh you know some kind of like solar minimum they're saying yeah it's gonna get really cold it does kind of feel like that's weird that it's felt cold today was like the first hot day i feel of this year fire outside nice we had a good skate session we definitely did so if you were just tuning in make sure you smash that like button smash it
Starting point is 00:03:39 you know what i will go ahead and like this right now it really does help i just liked it and you know what i'm also gonna share it right now whoa now. Boom. It really does help. I just like to. And you know what? I'm also going to share it right now. Share that. Whoa, whoa. Adam sharing it. That is a good thing. I'm going to do it. It's a good thing.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Right now, I'm doing it. Hold on. I have already done it. Boom. I just did it. I shared it. Sharing helps. Sharing is caring.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Sharing is caring. We have to go up against the mainstream media. And of course, we're better than them because we're debunking them right now. Yes, we are. I can't stand it dude You know, you know what the thing is though. I'm like I'm thinking about a world where there's no fake news Yeah, and it's like I'm imagining everybody, you know standing in the field holding hands like dancing back and forth Wait wait cut over to Lydia cut to Lydia. Hold on
Starting point is 00:04:22 I'm imagining people with cats and the cats are running around. You can kind of see the cats. Cats are chasing butterflies. No fake news. There's people having a picnic and they're smiling and laughing. People of all races and creeds are all dancing and frolicking. Singing songs. That's the rule of hot fakes.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Sharing their culture. Sitting on a couch, just laying back, eating a bowl of nachos, like, my work here is done. That's it. That's very good tim the world we live in is the one where the corporations like the big tech corporations prop up large powerful media corporations who are large and powerful because they lie that's the name of the game yeah i'm sick of it you write a fake story you make you get a million views you make you know a bunch of money depending on how you're selling. Some of these big networks have like a $40, $50 CPM.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Wow. It should be 50 grand off this fake article. And the next day you go, sorry about that. Oops. For those who don't know, what's a CPM? I think it's for how much money you make per thousand views. Oh, okay. Yeah, I think it means clicks per million.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Okay. But it's like, you know, I'm not a marketing analytics person, so I just have a cursory knowledge. CPMs, I do know a little bit in terms of how these big companies operate. I know, I would get in trouble if I named the company, but a big digital company was getting like a $40 CPM on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Yeah, because they demanded premium from YouTube. So most people get like $2 to $4. Okay, so that's a huge boost. So they said, if people want to advertise on our channel, it costs extra. And so they're making mad money.
Starting point is 00:05:53 So you put out fake news. You know, Donald Trump threw a bag of puppies off a bridge. You get a million and one clicks. And then everyone complains about it. They're like, you're fake news! And they're like, oh no, they're yelling at us and attacking us. How much money did we make?
Starting point is 00:06:07 That's great. Do a correction tomorrow. Take it back tomorrow. Yeah. How much? And then the next day, they're like, how many views did the correction get? Only 30,000? How much money would make off that one?
Starting point is 00:06:14 A couple grand? Excellent. Doesn't matter. Yeah. So, you know, I'm not going to accuse a lot of these companies of doing it on purpose, but I will say they're not unhappy when fake news happens. Like this. Let's get into this. Let's read the news.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Let's read this. Rick and Morty, season four. Why are fans threatening to boycott Rick and Morty? Well, see, already they're wrong. Because true fans love Rick and Morty. Well, right. That's the point. The headline is wrong. Fans are threatening? Hold on. Where's your source media? Twitter. Twitter. Yeah. The Karen's on Twitter. I'm sorry. Is that that was an assumption? I'm not. But I have a feeling. Correct. Check it out. Check it out. Please. We got this story. We got this story. Oh, man. All over the place. It's all the same thing. Let me read it. Independent. Rick and Morty fans threatened to boycott show over 9-11 and Pearl Harbor jokes.
Starting point is 00:07:07 One viewer accused the jokes of adding fuel to the xenophobia of Islam. One viewer. Here's another one. Furious Rick and Morty fans threatened to boycott show over controversial 9-11 joke. No. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:07:18 I got this. No, they don't. I got this. Ready? Okay, boomer. Yeah, there you go. They're not even boomers, dude. Is this the perfect time?
Starting point is 00:07:23 Dude, I think these are millennials. Well, who's upset about that then? Dude, I think they're already. Well, I'm a millennial. So am I. And I do noter. Yeah, there you go. They're not even boomers, dude. Is this the perfect time? Dude, I think these are millennials. Well, who's upset about that then? I think they're all millennials. Well, I'm a millennial, and I do not care. Yeah. Some boomers. I get. Listen.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Rick and Morty, it's great. It's good comedy. Yeah, you're the outlier, bro. Well, actually not. No, I don't. I think they are, but they're loud. Yes, I think that's what it is. You've got, look, Gen Xers mostly don't care.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Boomers mostly don't care. Yeah. You've got a lot of Karen boomers, though. Yeah, they really care. It's millennials, man. They care enough for everyone. Yeah, they do, unfortunately. That's the problem. Yeah. You got a lot of care in boomers, though. Yeah, they really care. It's millennials, man. They care enough for everyone. Yeah, they do, unfortunately. That's the problem.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Yeah. Millennials and some of Gen Z. Yeah. Look at this. Rick and Morty fans took to Twitter in a rage. Rage. As they said they would boycott the animated show due to its use of 9-11 and Pearl Harbor jokes. Oh, there's more.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Oh, no. The Daily Star. Rick and Morty fans boycott show. Oh, there's more. Oh, no. The Daily Star. Rick and Morty fans boycott show. No, they don't. You see how they went from threatened to boycott to they have boycotted it? Yep. This is the toilet cycle of fake news.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Yep. It begins. It's spinning around. Yay. They're all playing a game of telephone. Okay. Spoiler alert for those that haven't seen the new episodes of Rick and Morty.
Starting point is 00:08:23 I haven't. I'm going to... You're ruining it for me. They're going to tell you the joke, and you are going to laugh. And when I explain to you the context, you will laugh even harder. Okay. Because we're adults that understand what jokes are. There are even people, you know, who have made really offensive jokes.
Starting point is 00:08:38 I think, who was it? Oh, it was Ellen. She said something about that she knows what it feels like to be in prison. Oh, yeah, yeah. Because she's wearing the same clothes and everyone's gay. And I was like, I have no problem with her making that joke. I just thought it was a stupid joke. Joe Rogan said he thought it was really funny. I'm like, I didn't. I thought it was...
Starting point is 00:08:55 It's kind of funny. I was like, eh. You know what I mean? I don't care. I don't think she should be shut down or banned for it. I agree. I think Jimmy Kimmel has really awful jokes, too. So does Stephen Colbert. So does all of them. Conan's okay, but he's, you know, I like him more than the rest of them.
Starting point is 00:09:12 I like Conan. He's funny. Have you seen that show that Conan does? But he's just... Traveling around? Yeah, but he's done really stupid things. Yes, he has. He went to Haiti and was like, look how awesome it is.
Starting point is 00:09:22 And it's like, that is extremely reckless because it is not look man there's all of these young women they're doing the solo female travel thing okay and they're making all these videos where they're like look at me i went to syria like i kid you not one one chick went to syria okay it's like dude like you do not want to she do that move too yeah yeah she's like she's like she's like this and in the photo and the thumbnail and it's like, solo female travel in Syria. Is there like a bunch of blown out buildings behind her too? Yeah. How do you do that in front of blown out buildings?
Starting point is 00:09:50 Look at me in front of these blown out buildings there. But she did go, I'm pretty sure she went to Aleppo. And listen, man, look, I got no beef. You want to go travel the world and do all that stuff, that's fine. Okay. But if you don't explain the dangers of things, that's the problem. And Conan was like, things are great here in haiti and it's like whoa whoa whoa bro like i have i have done security consulting for people traveling to dangerous places yeah and it's not appropriate to dance around and act like these parts of these
Starting point is 00:10:14 world parts of the world are completely and totally fine yeah if you're good if you're going to take a photo of you chilling at a resort in haiti you need to provide the context to people like make sure when you come here, you've got your proper vaccinations. You have your contacts. The embassy knows. He probably had a big crew with him, too. It's not like he's by himself. Let's get back to Rick and Morty. So here's the story.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Fans of the hit animation Rick and Morty have threatened to boycott the series over its inclusion of controversial jokes about the bombing of Pearl Harbor on 9-11. Of all the things they could have been offended by, these are the least. Like, if they at least said white privilege or something, I'd be like, oh.
Starting point is 00:10:52 During a new episode of the series called Promo Promortius, the characters, Rick and Morty, are seen flying towards two skyscraper towers in a clear reference to 9-11. After swerving to avoid them, Rick quips honestly i'm proud of us for not totally would have been cheap replies morty rick then says pearl harbor
Starting point is 00:11:12 on the other hand before flying towards an alien harbor and bombing it oh my god it is very funny oh man later in the episode the characters banter about the incident with beth rick's daughter asking so you did a 9-11 and mori replies almost did a 9-11. We went with a Pearl Harbor. We were pretty classy. Fans have taken to Twitter to voice their discomfort with the jokes. How? Is Rick and Morty still doing 9-11 jokes, asked one viewer, adding, because wow, that's so funny in 2020.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Yeah, it gets funnier with time. That's the point of it. I just imagine there's a bunch of, I don't know our age anyone it doesn't matter who's who likes rick and morty watching it and the mom's like walking down the hallway and it's like what was that joke what did it wait go back go back let me hear that again no it's not the boomers man i don't know what it is the millennials no i'll tell you what happened i'll tell you what happened the sjws are sitting in their offices at the independent, other companies.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Right. And they're like, well, it's lockdown. So they're like, ooh, this will get clipped. No, they're sitting in a room. And a guy's got one of those cylindrical cages that they use for bingo where you crank the thing. And there's a bunch of things bobbing around. And the Spanish fillet is playing in the background
Starting point is 00:12:20 while they're all laying there hot in the summer heat. And you hear it like, ding, ding, ding. And the guy is just lazily churning this thing and then and then the music stops and he goes ding and he goes okay everybody today's outrageous shuffles in he goes rick and morty 9-11 jokes and they go start writing and they all start writing everybody's angry oh i found stuff on twitter we're so angry yeah Yeah, I found stuff on Twitter. People are angry on Twitter. Who knew? That's funny. Others picked up on a different aspect of the joke. With one commenter writing, everyone's reacting to the 9-11 joke.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Personally, I was fine with it. Until Rick said, ask the Saudis. Just adding fuel to the xenophobia of Islam and the Middle East when you could have easily made a George Bush or US government joke. He did that before too.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Another fan wrote, boycotting Rick and Morty. This is such fake, fake news. The number one post on the Rick and Morty subreddit is no. No, we don't. Rick and Morty fans threaten boycott, and they link to The Independent and says, no, we don't. And they really, really don't. No. You know what it is?
Starting point is 00:13:23 They're getting paid to look for this kind of stuff so it's not that they even care they're not boycotting it they're looking for any way to make an article that'll get clicks that because they get paid for that and now we're into time we're like we need any any way to get clicks this will work they probably write the tweets themselves yeah i'll stop short of directly accusing any individual, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're using sock puppet Twitter accounts to be like,
Starting point is 00:13:48 oh, Rick and Morty is offensive because of 9-11. Because of 9-11? Are you kidding me? You think the people who watch the show are funded by that? There was a joke in the Pickle Rick episode where he turns himself into a pickle and then Morty walks in and he's like,
Starting point is 00:14:01 Morty, I'm a pickle. And Morty's like, okay, is that all? And then Rick's like morty i'm a pickle and and uh morty's like okay is is that all and then rick goes what i turned myself into a pickle what do you want me to say i turned myself into a pickle and 9-11 was an inside job and it's like it's hilarious there's also a joke where uh in the episode where they're in rick's memory okay when they're trying to extract the the uh the portal gun oh yeah trying to figure it out out. He's like, I store this memory between, you know, I can't remember what it was. He was like, the morning of 9-11
Starting point is 00:14:28 and when, you know, I had like ice cream or something. And then as they're leaving, you hear very faintly in the background, you see him in the background by the TV, and he goes, they're going to use this to take away our freedoms. And it was like, it was funny. Funny jokes.
Starting point is 00:14:41 I like it. So basically in the show, they're on this, it's like an asteroid. It's almost a planet. Whatever. It's an alien civilization. And because they're Rick and Morty they're like wreaking havoc and just blowing everything up. And they're laughing
Starting point is 00:14:55 and they're like this is really really great. And Rick's like I just needed to blow off some steam. And they're blowing people up. And he's like man it's like popping bubble wrap. And then all of a sudden they start flying up and there's two towers. And they both look at each other like, ooh. And then they swerve out of the way. And that's where the joke comes in where they're like, yeah, you know, I wouldn't feel good about that one. And then they look down and there's a harbor.
Starting point is 00:15:14 It's like, well, I could do a Pearl Harbor, though. And then they go. It was hilarious. Yeah. It was a great episode. The last episode, the latest one, was really weird. But I enjoyed it nonetheless. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:23 But this is what we get from the media they they i think i think we this is all a culmination of things we've been talking about nothing's happening yeah exactly we're so bored yep it's like what's the news new rick and morty news yeah we can complain about it oh yeah oh and then you know it's funny we're sitting here going oh oh look they're pretending to be outraged about Rick and Morty. We can complain about it. Let's do a podcast where we're doing the same thing. It's so funny. This is the big thing.
Starting point is 00:15:53 But I feel like we're winning here, though. Well, it's a big conundrum that I've talked about quite a bit where it's like, are we just as bad for engaging in the same bickering by calling them out for doing it or do they need to be called out for doing it i think the latter i personally think they need to be called out for doing it yeah yeah like it's it's you know the like like i mentioned i would love to see a world no fake news i'm just sitting on a couch eating nachos like yeah nothing to do it's like any one of these fans they're talking about. It's like, okay, what happens in season two, episode three? Go. And they'll be like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:30 I actually have never seen Rick and Morty. I don't know what season, which I can't off the top of my head tell you about season two. Yeah, no, I'm just going really extreme there. If you made a reference to a bunch of episodes, I'd be like, oh, yeah, that episode. It's funny. You know, it's crazy. Like, let's do this. I want to pull up the legendary Count Dankula. Yes. Oh's funny. You know, it's crazy. Let's do this. I want to pull up the legendary Count Dankula.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Yes. Oh, yeah. I don't know if that makes him a lord, like being a count. I'm not sure. Yeah, what is a count? Let me Google that for us. Well, as far as I'm concerned, he is of noble status. My liege. He is of noble status in the culture war. He tweeted
Starting point is 00:17:02 this. 60s to the 80s. Conservative Christian boomers canceling comedy. 90s to the 2000 war. He tweeted this. 60s to the 80s, conservative Christian boomers canceling comedy. 90s to the 2000s, absolute golden age where everything was allowed. 10s and 20s, social justice screechers
Starting point is 00:17:13 canceling comedy. So we've gone full circle. That's what it is, man. He's right. Yep, exactly. Nailed it. You know what I was thinking? There was a big wave
Starting point is 00:17:22 of edgy, anti-semitic comedy like ironic mocking of like judaism and jewish people sure and i was wondering like it was it was popping up all over you know youtube and stuff there's a there's like recently in the past few years because you say that i just think like mel brooks well he hit up on everybody basically yeah yeah but there was a video g comedy We were watching a video recently. I think it was like an Adventure Time compilation of Lemon Grab. Okay. So that's also voiced by Justin Roiland, who did Rick and Morty.
Starting point is 00:17:55 And then I was showing you something about Lemon Grab. I was like, you got to see this. I got to give you the context. And all of a sudden, randomly, Adolf Hitler popped up. Yeah, because people do that to be edgy. I think it's funny to be like, ah, I'm offending you by doing this. Just randomly injecting this kind of stuff. And there was a period where people were doing this really, really edgy comedy.
Starting point is 00:18:12 There's like, do you know what the Kekistan-y flag is? It's Kekistan, and I'm sure I'm not going to get the perfect context to explain it, but it's a fictitious country. And the flag is a parody of the German Nazi flag or whatever. Oh, okay. Not the swastika. I just pulled it up. Yeah, it's the green and it's got like the 4chan leaves on it.
Starting point is 00:18:32 It says kek or whatever. Okay. So it was like ironic. Nazism was like meant to be edgy. Okay. I was wondering like what happened? Like why did all of a sudden everybody think this was a funny thing to do? It's really, really obvious.
Starting point is 00:18:43 To piss off the people that get pissed off. park south park oh when i was a little kid what did i hear non-stop on comedy central cartman screaming about the jews okay seriously like non-stop even to this day it's like it's just like a huge aspect of the show because kyle is jewish we were talking about it before the show but there's one one episode where kyle is like about to die in a flood and he's like, Cartman, help me. And Cartman's like, quick but first throw me the gold that's around your neck. And Kyle's like, what? And Cartman
Starting point is 00:19:12 says, I know every Jew has this or something. And then Kyle was like, Cartman, you know, that's not true. And then Cartman refuses. Then finally Kyle pulls a bag off his neck. He's like, here. And he gives the gold to Cartman. And then Cartman goes, aha, but I know you secretly carry a fake bag of gold. And then he throws it.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Give me the real one. And Kyle goes, ah. And then he pulls another one out. It's like it's a joke. We know that Jewish people don't do this. It's meant to be silly and absurd. But then you also have Family Guy. Another show that was just been popular forever yeah they go
Starting point is 00:19:46 nuts on on on mort yeah they do like they they have done endless jokes and so you get a bunch of kids who grow up seeing that as comedy and they laugh about it yeah and they embrace it so looking at count dankula's tweet where he says 90s 2000s you know absolute golden age where anything was allowed yeah south, South Park went nuts. Yeah. I mean, I'm not saying in a bad way. I'm like, it was funny. We grew up watching this stuff. We were like, you know, we're not offended.
Starting point is 00:20:11 And now today you have people emulating a lot of these things they grew up watching, thinking it's funny and also pushing the boundary. And now we're getting the moralistic SJWs harrumphing. Like, you know, it's really funny about these people. One of the things they pointed out was that when Rick mentioned the Saudis, it was like xenophobia. It kicked it over the edge. Do you think any of those people care about 9-11? No.
Starting point is 00:20:33 That's insane. If you told me a feminist SJW was complaining about the horrors of 9-11, I'd be like, shut up. It's not true. I mean, it's literally what they're doing. Basically, yeah. And no Rick and Morty fan cares. No. It's a funny show. It is a good show. The last episode was kind of weird. I mean, it's literally what they're doing. Basically, yeah. And no Rick and Morty fan cares. No. It's a funny show.
Starting point is 00:20:46 It is a good show. The last episode was kind of weird. I really enjoy it. Yeah, but you know what I will add to this, too? Two scary things that I think are happening right now. One is, in desperation with there being no news, we're going to see a whole bunch of fake stuff like this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Cancel Rick and Morty. Bork out. Shut up, dude. A bunch of people shopped at McDonald's because they wanted Szechuan sauce when the Bork out. Shut up, dude. No way. A bunch of people shoved to McDonald's because they wanted Szechuan sauce when the episode came out.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Did you hear about that? Yeah. Borderline riots. People screaming, give us sauce. What, the Rick and Morty episode about it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:15 And then McDonald's did a very limited run where they only had a little bit. Oh, man. But people showed up demanding it. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:21:21 you think these people are going to boycott the show? The people complain aren't fans. But the other thing is we're getting close like, you think these people are going to boycott the show? The people complainers aren't fans. Well, the other thing is we're getting close to election season. And now we're going to see astroturfing like crazy. And, man, man, I hope you guys are ready for a wild, wild ride, man. I am.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I'm ready. You know astroturfing is ready. I'm ready. Go ahead and enlighten me. So it's when they set up fake protests. Okay. So it was typically a reference to, like, hiring protesters. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:50 And now it's a very, very vague and broad, like, if you pay for a protest, you've astroturfed. I don't agree with that. So, like, if you pay for a bus so that a bunch of people from one area can go protest another area, they call it astroturfing. Okay. I'm like, kind of. Typically, when I heard it used 10 years ago, it was when corporations were literally hiring people and paying them to go stand in a field. And they didn't even care about the politics. So it looked like people cared.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Yeah, yeah. If a bunch of people want to protest and you say, I can help you guys out, that's very different. Yeah, that's a little different. That's true. But I get it. It is borderline. Like, you're creating the circumstances where they can do this. Well, and if you're the one paying them and you're going to benefit,
Starting point is 00:22:29 like, you know, if you're a direct opponent, if they want to come because they don't like your direct opponent and then you bring them over, it's like, eh, you know, it's right in the line, I guess. Right. So that's why I think it's not necessarily unfair to say astroturfing in that context. It's very nuanced. Yeah, yeah. But then there's sock puppetry, which is, look, man, I'll tell you what.
Starting point is 00:22:51 You go on Reddit. I'd be willing to bet 80% of the comments you see. Fake. Fake. Totally fake. I don't go on Reddit. There's a bunch of subreddits. I'm not going to get specific.
Starting point is 00:23:02 But, man, it's crazy. When a news story broke, you used to be able to go on Reddit, and it would be number one all. It would, you know, like, oh, a power plant exploded. And you'd go, and there would be, like, upvoted. Not anymore. Nope. Nah. Nope, nope, nope.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Now what is it? Almost never breaking it. A bunch of SJWs? It's all anti-Trump. I mean, I kid you not. That's all it is? I go on r slash all, which is just every subreddit ranked by their votes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:30 And I was looking at it. It was r slash pics. It's the picture subreddit where it just shows you pictures of things. Okay. And it was anti-Trump. And I was like, what? Why? I don't care, man.
Starting point is 00:23:42 You know, they complained about the Donald, which is like one of the biggest. It's the subreddit, right? Yeah, it's where it's actually one of the most prolific meme generators. OK, so MIT Technology Review did a study and found the Donald and 4chan were the most prolific creators of memes that went viral around the Internet. OK, people used to complain. They were like, it's not fair because the Donald posts are always on the front page. So they eventually changed the algorithm to suppress the Donald. And now it's nothing but anti-Trump trash.
Starting point is 00:24:08 So this is what I'd say. I hope you're ready for a wild ride because stories like this are going to get nuts. You're going to see astroturfing. You are going to see sock puppetry, brigades. Reddit is a dead zone as far as I'm concerned. That's what it feels like. So some people argue with me saying you can still use it. Just okay just go find your sub right like go to the magic the gathering subreddit no yeah the only time i ever really used reddit was like an lfg site for destiny
Starting point is 00:24:34 looking for groups like destiny one right long time ago yeah we have so you would you would go into the so for those that aren't familiar when you want to play this game destiny and you need people to play with you yeah you would go onto the reddit and be like, yo, who wants to do this? And then like, here's my username, come, you know, add me. Yeah, we used to make those posts. That's how we would find good crews to go do stuff. I think the whole thing... Oh yeah, you were playing Destiny with me at the time, weren't you? Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:55 That was great. Those were good times. Yeah, good old days, man. Six years ago. The Vault of Glass. Oh man. Yeah. OG days. That was a good game. OG Destiny. I like Destiny 1. Man, Reddit now, you go to the front page and it's like, there's a subreddit called Murdered by Words. And it used to be like sassy comebacks. Now it's just people complaining about Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:25:17 What? That's all it is. That's all it is. Wow. So I bring this stuff up. For one, I love complaining about Reddit because it's just like this website's been totally destroyed. It's, you know, world politics. One of the biggest social media forums in the world.
Starting point is 00:25:31 1.2 million users. Wow. Went so far to the left. They started posting rule-breaking anti-Trump posts. And people were just like, what's happening? Yeah. So then eventually they said, well, if there's no rules. And they said it just became porn.
Starting point is 00:25:51 That's what happens. It's a natural decline it's just gone whatever yeah if there's no rules it started getting crazier and crazier and then just completely collapsed so i think i think we might see that uh depending on how much stress is put on say twitter or red as a whole okay if the people running these platforms keep doing this that what they're doing is imagine you've got like you know a bamboo pole and so you start pulling it to the left and you're pulling it harder and harder and harder eventually it's going to break yeah and that's what happened with world politics i think it's possible that you know facebook twitter reddit all these sites as a whole are pulling so hard it's going to break. Yeah. But it's not just the companies doing it. One of the problems is there's, I'm going to avoid naming them, but there's some high
Starting point is 00:26:30 profile companies that hire people to manipulate on social media, notably for the Democrats. I'm sure the Republicans have them, but the Democrats, a big company got caught doing this. That's not really surprising. So here's what they do is you'll go into a sub, you'll see a post's not political, and they'll come in and they'll make it political. Of course. In the comments, they'll inundate it and they'll jam it up. But let's say you make a comment where you're like, you know, I don't know how I feel about Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Then they use a bunch of fake accounts to downvote you so that you're gone. So the only ones you see are orange man bad. Great. So what happens to the regular person as they come in? And the only thing they see is everyone hating Donald Trump. And so I guess the goal is to make people believe that everybody hates Trump. So I bring that up in this context
Starting point is 00:27:16 because this story is, for the most part, just desperation, in my opinion. That's what it feels like. But I think it's going to get absolutely nuts. Do you hear that beeping? Yeah, I do. What is that? I don't know. I gotta hunt it down. Yeah, it's annoying.
Starting point is 00:27:34 It's like some weird beeping. It's probably something in someone's room. The show must go on. Somebody's watch is going off. So that brings me now. We're going to get a little political on you. Oh, no. Oh, great. But we're still in the context of sock puppetry and social justice.
Starting point is 00:27:49 So check this out. This is actually really interesting. This is a story from the Washington Free Beacon. Woke talking points cost Gillibrand primary support. Oh, snap. I said this. Progressive rhetoric loses politician support, new study argues. It feels good to be vindicated i've been saying for a long time this is fringe political bs social justice nonsense will not
Starting point is 00:28:14 work but for some reason they just went for it so in the context of how you know social media is being manipulated and they're putting these fringe opinions out there they're actually lighting themselves on fire. Yeah. I have to wonder if the real goal is to make people like you vote for Donald Trump. Yeah, right? Yeah. Do you know what black propaganda is?
Starting point is 00:28:33 No. I saw you mention it in a tweet. Yeah. There's white, gray, and black. Okay. White propaganda is overt. It would be like me holding up a sign saying, Adam sucks. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Gray propaganda would be a sign that just says, you know, Adam Criggler is a bad musician. You don't know who it comes from, and it's a negative opinion. And then black propaganda would be someone saying, like, Adam Criggler is the best. I love him because he's racist.
Starting point is 00:28:59 So the goal of black propaganda is to pretend to be the enemy and then look stupid. Ah, OK. Or look really bad, right? Right. It's so that people will associate your opponents with whatever stupid idea you've put forward to accuse them of. So it would be like, you know, wearing a Trump shirt and then going like we've seen it.
Starting point is 00:29:20 People will put like a Trump shirt on and then go around and say a bunch of racist things. I actually I was thinking this. I saw this dude who was at some rally or something and it was for the democrats right and he had this this swastika on his shirt that said trump and pence and he was like waving a flag around like yelling at people and then someone took a picture of him and then later on they saw the same picture of the guy like At a Bernie rally. No, no, no. The same rally. The dude put his jacket on and then put the sign down and then had his Democrat flag.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Right. It was like, what? So you just staged yourself to look like. That's called black propaganda. Terrible. We are going to get a ton of it across the board. And it is going to be like April Fool's Day on crack. But you know what?
Starting point is 00:30:03 We'll be here calling them out. Yeah, I guess. We're stuck in the muck and the mire. I know you're better at it than me. I mean, I'm not that deep into politics. The nightmarish reality of it is that, you know, everything could be fake. Somebody made a joke a while ago. Like, what if all of these, like, SJW leftists are actually right-wingers trying to make the leftists look bad?
Starting point is 00:30:26 And then all of the fringe, like, far-right people are actually leftists trying to make the right look bad? And meanwhile, the regular people are like, what are you guys doing? Yeah. So this is funny. The funny thing about the Gillibrand stuff, and I'll talk about this, and then we'll talk about more black propaganda, is that this was obvious to everybody. She ran her primary campaign for the democrats going woke as possible okay there was like once like some weird candid video where she's in a bar and she's she's like sitting there bobbing she goes gay rights it's like oh so crazy that was
Starting point is 00:30:59 a commercial no it was like someone just post a video of her doing it it's like i don't know so she just literally was doing that yes she was at a bar just like bobbing her head she by herself too yeah it looked like it someone's got a camera on her yep gay rights yeah i mean i'm all for gay rights but that is hilarious it's so i don't i don't know anybody who sat in a bar by themselves there are people around her dancing and stuff which is like in a bar i don't know what she was doing so she really really tried it sounded like a photo But she's like in a bar. I don't know what she was doing. It's funny. So she really, really tried. It sounded like a photo op. She's like, oh, someone get this.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Get this video. I'm about to rock this sentence out. Check this sentence out. Boom! You know what the problem I have with it is? Yeah, what? It's that one thing I really can't stand is inefficiency. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Like when I see someone doing something wrong, I want to be like, yo, stop. Let me just do it. Stop what you're doing. You're doing it wrong. You've got it upside down. You've got to flip it around. Let me just do it. Give me the thing. Give it to me. I'll do it myself. Yeah, right. I can't stand watching people trying to stick a square peg in a
Starting point is 00:31:57 round hole. I'm the same way. I'm like, hey, you're doing that wrong. And everyone's like, I don't care. I'm going to do it the way I want to do it. It's like, let me do it. No, because then I'm just going to have to fix it when you're done anyway, because you're doing that wrong and everyone's like i don't care i'm gonna do it the way i want to do it like let me do it no because then i'm just gonna have to fix it when you're done anyway because you're not doing it right oh man you guys that's why when it comes to issues of like carpentry stuff i'm like i'm not even gonna do anything i'm just gonna i'm just gonna call adam now hey adam because adam do this well because you know i'll tell you what happens all right i'll be like i'm going to hang this and then adam will come down and be like oh bro you missed the
Starting point is 00:32:22 study like no i gotta fix it and i'm like all right dude i'm just not even gonna bother like you know better than i do so i'll just hand it off to you oh man but with with jillibrand it was like watching someone set themselves on fire and i'm just like i've i saw it at fusion when i worked there they they they they this company oh yeah they went nuts right they had hundreds of millions of dollars they were like we're gonna do a media company and we want to be nonpartisan and like Vice. And they had posters on the walls that said, we will not be partisan and stuff. Seriously? I kid you not.
Starting point is 00:32:51 And then all of a sudden— I mean, I know what happened. That's why I'm laughing. Go ahead. Yeah, someone convinced them, like, have you considered getting woke? How about partisanship? Maybe you should take those posters down and get woke. Really, really embarrassing things this company did. Really? Really really really embarrassing things this company did really really really embarrassing things so like apparently I got to be
Starting point is 00:33:09 very careful in details but there was like a high-level meeting where this high-level person is supposed to be talking to a bunch of other like marketing like advertising people to like sell content okay and when they were asked what was like their mission, this person's like gender. What? And I'm not, so I got, I'm trying to be careful here. It's like. Like gay rights?
Starting point is 00:33:31 I'm just going to say it. I might get in trouble, but basically they were producing this like sales pitch and the high ranking person was asked like, what's the next big, you know, story, the big narrative. And he said, gender. And that was supposed to be sent out to advertising companies like, you know story the big narrative and he said gender and that was supposed to be sent out to advertising companies like you know coke and pepsi or whatever that's what i was told i could be wrong but i was told this by like one of the higher-ups who were like facepalming like what are they doing yeah what do you think's gonna happen if you went to a meeting
Starting point is 00:33:58 with like coke and coke was like we want to sell more soda. What can you do for us? Gender. I'm sorry. I'm not sure what that means. Not tracking. Infinite genders. Just go with it. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:14 They thought they were young and edgy or something. You don't think it was for a lot of these companies. I was actually told this by one of these consultant marketing guys who said, if you want a company that starts today and is successful in five years, you got to look at what young people are talking about and then track that. And then basically in five years, you'll be that source. And I said, the people talking about that
Starting point is 00:34:33 are like a microscopic fraction of this country. And you're looking at the squeaky wheel. Yeah. Regular people watch Dave Chappelle and Joe Rogan. It's true. And they're not, they're opposed to this stuff. They lit themselves on fire, flushed down the toilet. Coca-Cola, good for any gender.
Starting point is 00:34:47 There's a meme about how all these companies – no, what was that Monopoly thing? You see that commercial for Monopoly? Oh, my. I couldn't believe it was actually a Monopoly commercial. I didn't know what it was. That was awesome. That was awesome. I still don't believe it, actually.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Well, let's give some context to the people. Oh, my God. So there was a commercial, and it was like, female engineers need to be encouraged. And it shows a little girl, and she's like, I designed this robot or whatever. There's three or four different girls that are young and want to be scientists and inventors. It's three minutes of talking about equal rights and encouraging women. And then all of a sudden, there's a scene where it's like, that's why we did this. And it shows a woman hand a present to this little girl and she opens it.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Hey, where did this come from? I don't know. Let's all sit in the couch and watch you open it together. And they're all like sitting around as a family as the girl sits and opens it. It became a game. The game was to post the video and say, guess what they're promoting. Yep. And then you're watching it going like, what could this be?
Starting point is 00:35:40 And then when she opens the package and it's Miss Monopoly. What? Miss Monopoly. Miss Monopoly. What? like what could this be and then when they when she opens the package and it's miss monopoly monopoly what it's it's the most backwards insane thing i never i would never have guessed it here's how the game works never the game works by like men get less money than women oh when they pass go okay so it's like they wait, the original Monopoly actually has equal rights. Everyone's equal. And this game was handicapping women to prove equality. We're going to handicap them.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Wow. We're going to give them a handicap, I should say. Not handicap. The men will be handicapped. We'll give the benefit to the women. It sends the opposite message. It does. That's true.
Starting point is 00:36:22 We live in. Women need more help. Is that what it's saying? You know what it is, man. That's exactly what it's saying. It's that people... It's ridiculous. People are stupid. Oh, is that it?
Starting point is 00:36:31 People are dumb. Thank you for solving that. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. You got a point. He's got a point. Imagine what communism would be like.
Starting point is 00:36:42 All of these people. You know, it's like at least... Like the monopoly version or what? No, no. What I mean is... No, the socialist monopoly is dumb. All of these people. Like the Monopoly version? No, the socialist Monopoly is dumb. I tried pointing it. How would the communist version go? I'm not talking about Monopoly. I'm talking about real life. I'm talking about how we can watch them fail and laugh and no one's hurt by it.
Starting point is 00:36:58 They launched a really stupid commercial. Everyone made fun of them. I'm sure they sold some of them. But they mocked and they were berated. Under a command economy, you have these ideologues in government being like, nope, we're going to keep making it anyway. Reminds me of the Futurama episode. I love
Starting point is 00:37:14 citing Futurama. Yes, you do. Where they go to the Amazon planet. Snoo Snoo? Yeah. And they see them playing basketball. And the wind's like, they no can dunk, but good fundamentals. The point is supporting something that they don't like because it's just, it's like emotionally, you know. So you have, in capitalism, things can fail. And we can laugh about it.
Starting point is 00:37:38 True. In communism, no, you get one ideologue who's going to be like, make Miss Monopoly. Sir, nobody wants it. Don't care. Keep making it. And then you just waste resources and light things on fire. Yeah. Speaking of, you know, and I'm only going to say this very briefly.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Oh. But we were talking earlier about, like, universal health care. Oh, really? And how the post office was awful. Okay. And then I said, imagine getting your health care through the post office system. Right. Imagine getting your health care through the DMV.
Starting point is 00:38:04 I want everyone to think about universal health care through the dmv i want everyone to think about universal health care i think i'm good and then i want to imagine going to the dmv but instead of trying to get your license done or you know copied whatever you're trying to get life altering life life-saving surgery oh my gosh bro i went to the dmv no thanks i went to the dmv to get my car license license plate and they gave me a trailer plate and i didn't i didn't know what it meant trailer plate yeah for for like a hitch trailer you put on the back of a car yeah yeah i didn't know so in florida you only did i think i'm pretty sure in florida you only need a plate in the back so they gave me one plate it said trailer and i was like is this right and she's like you're all
Starting point is 00:38:39 good and i'm like okay oh wow i didn't know that because it's the first time i got in a license plate in jersey yeah so i assumed you need one plate in the back and it's a trailer because it was the back of the car or something yeah and so then i came back and i put it on and went about my business and then i saw i walked inside i'm like that can't be right yeah so i went online and looked it up and i was like oh man you dumb i had to go back that sucks and it's like dealing with the dmv waiting in line uh do you talk about a nightmare well let's let's go back. That sucks. And it's like dealing with the DMV, waiting in line. Dude, talk about a nightmare. Well, let's go back to the black propaganda thing. So when you see Kirsten Gillibrand yelling gay rights or whatever,
Starting point is 00:39:13 and you see all of these people and all these media companies, I wonder if the goal was to destroy them. You know what? Every time we have different conversations about different points, you know, the whole bubble of politics, and the more you say it, the more it does make sense that they're just trying to sabotage themselves. Not themselves, but there's people trying to destroy them. Ah, okay. Like, Fusion wants to start a company. ABC and Univision have this plan. They put in hundreds of millions of dollars, and then they start looking for for consultants and someone comes in and thinks how can i destroy this company you know and you know
Starting point is 00:39:50 what what makes me curious is there was very very heavy hillary clinton influence in in in what fusion was doing okay so i gotta i'll be very very careful about how far i go with that but big powerful donors there was just It was in the family. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. So I had to wonder if one of the reasons they decided to go full on feminist was because they wanted to create a narrative so that when Hillary Clinton ran, they'd be like, you know. We are for her. But I don't.
Starting point is 00:40:17 And a lot of people would argue it's a big conspiracy theory. I was like, it's not a conspiracy theory for this big Hillary Clinton donor to payinton donor to pay for media like it's marketing that's just regular old marketing yeah they put money in and say write stories that make her look good they do that all the time so i had to wonder if that was the goal a lot of people told me it wasn't they were just trying to make money sure i'm like but why would you make content that's only for women then why wouldn't you make content you know but they were making money doing what they were doing why would they change they weren't making money oh i thought you said they were they were doing money doing what they were doing. Why would they change that up? They weren't making money. Oh, I thought you said they were doing fine. When they first started, they were trying to figure things out.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Oh, they were just funded. That's what you said. And then they had consultants come in and tell them to do something. Yeah. And they flushed themselves down the toilet and burned all the money. Yeah. But when it comes to the Internet and people like Jill O'Brien and stuff, I have to wonder if one of the reasons the left can't succeed is because black propaganda, like if all this cancel culture stuff is just people trying
Starting point is 00:41:11 to make sure they can never succeed. I think about it in terms of real leftist anti-establishment activists. You can see people like Matt Taibbi, for instance. He wrote this article. He's a journalist. He's a lefty. He wrote an article saying the democrats have abandoned civil liberties he's a real he's a real like moderate lefty guy like certainly seems that way nowadays right he talked about how you know he used to align with the democrats and now he sees them as like they've gone nuts yep and so many other people there's the activists know that the lengths that the feds have gone to to disrupt activist organizations. What's the easiest way to totally discredit left-wing anti-establishment organizations? Get in there.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Get in there and screech and re- and throw bricks and cheer on all the really, really awful stuff. And then create this narrative and damage them. Now, I think they do it to themselves if they're that easily susceptible to this kind of manipulation. and then create this narrative and damage them. Now, I think they do it to themselves if they're that easily susceptible to this kind of manipulation. But you get people to go online and say something like, I'm voting for Bernie Sanders, by the way. I hate all, you know, name a group. Or push that narrative.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Or do what Kirsten Gillibrand, she fell for it, I guess. I don't know. I don't know what to tell you, man. That was so obvious. She fell for it, I guess. I don't know. I don't know what to tell you, man. She's... That was so obvious. She's going to fail. Yep. Well, anyway.
Starting point is 00:42:29 We're going to be in the thick of things. I hope you are all excited for the rollercoaster ride that will be 2020s. I know I am. I'm looking forward to it. Dude, they're going to call you all the names in the book. I can't wait. It's going to be great, Adam. This vegan skateboarder is the book. I can't wait. It's going to be great, Adam. This vegan skateboarder
Starting point is 00:42:46 is the epitome of far right. Man, I've been called all sorts of things throughout my life. I just don't care. I don't care. Bring it on. You either like me or you don't like me, and that's how it goes. But they do it to try and scare you, to destroy your life.
Starting point is 00:43:01 If you're susceptible to that. Yes. Without naming any specific individual, there are people who would make content that was like anti-SJW, you know, moderate, not super political, but like anti, you know, in the culture war. Okay. Anti-SJW. And then
Starting point is 00:43:17 once they got their careers threatened, immediately started saying, oh, but I'm actually left-wing. Oh, and then totally, just slowly sneaking in. And then there are people on the, who do the same. Flipping it. But then there are people in the middle who'm actually left wing. Oh, and then totally just slowly sneaking in. And then there are people on the – Flipping it. But then there are people in the middle who do the same thing. Okay. And then slowly become more and more right wing and start entertaining more conservative and right wing positions.
Starting point is 00:43:34 And it's because they're getting what's called a love bomb from the right. Okay. And so that's like the ongoing phenomenon right now of the culture war. The love bomb. Come have some beers. Yep. Yep. And then everyone's response to that is like, I know which side i would go to yeah the side where it's like have a beer
Starting point is 00:43:48 with me that makes sense not the one that's screeching and trying to destroy me yeah but some some people fall for it there's some high profile uh progressives who made pretty good progressive but fair content until they got attacked and got canceled and then all of a sudden all of a sudden, all of a sudden, they started towing the line and saying all this stupid SAW stuff. I tried. It was too late. No, they're losers.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Yeah. And they're people I used to follow and promote. I don't promote them anymore. Sad. Because I'm like, you used to call it out. Like, if you believe in universal healthcare and you want to have an argument about what I just said about the DMV, there's real arguments against that.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Just because the DMV is bad doesn't mean you can't make a system for universal health care that works properly. Yeah, yeah. I think there's a lot of problems to it. I lean towards more of a public option because you need competition. And I think we talked about this. Like, there could be emergency care is universal. Right, right, right. Specialty stuff is.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Like breaking your leg. Right. You can go get it taken care of. Right, right. But if you ate crap for your entire life and got and drank alcohol and then got some sort of weird cancer that was from that, it's like
Starting point is 00:44:52 you have to pay for that. You did that to yourself. So if you want to make a real conversation and a fair argument and stuff I'm totally down. But it seems like that doesn't really exist for the most part because the screeching rees. The social justice warriors prevent these kinds of conversations and make sure everyone's just maybe it's just humans, man. Maybe it's just how we are.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Not as a whole. I think you can't stop some people from being that way, though. That's just going to be the way it is. This is what I was saying with the media. They cheat and cheaters win. Yep. You know, you know, it's media. They cheat, and cheaters win. Yep. You know, it's funny. What do they say?
Starting point is 00:45:28 Cheaters never win? I was told that when I was younger. Winners never cheat. Cheaters never win. That's not true at all. That is a lie. Cheaters win all the time, and the smart ones never get caught. And what about that?
Starting point is 00:45:38 What is that line? History is written by the winners? Yep. It's true. It is. I know, exactly. Unfortunately. I mean, he was right,
Starting point is 00:45:45 although it was bad timing. No, the full context of his statement was he laughed and said, he was asked, how will history look back on, you know, what happened? And he laughed and said,
Starting point is 00:45:54 well, history is written by the winners, so I guess we can see, but I think it'll look favorably on us because we upheld the rule of law. Right. And then Chuck Todd said he didn't even argue that he upheld the rule of law.
Starting point is 00:46:04 That was the problem. He literally lied about what Bill Barr actually said in a snippet. That's the fake news. They get away with it. They make money. And the controversy is still good for them. You know why? There are people who don't care they're lying.
Starting point is 00:46:17 They like that they're lying. Yeah, that's true. Because they're like, oh, what you just said fits what I believe. So it vindicates what I believe. Now I can yell louder. Not even that. Because I have proof. I have just said fits what I believe. So it vindicates what I believe. Now I can yell louder. Not even that. Because I have proof. I have a link.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Not even that. It's like they believe that they're justified in lying to convert people. I would say both. Because the ends justify the means. It's a religion. Both. So when Chuck Todd lies, they know he's lying and they go, good. Because it'll convert more people.
Starting point is 00:46:42 I don't think everyone knows that they're lying. I think some people just want to believe it. They're like, oh, he's lying, and they go, good, because it'll convert more people. I don't think everyone knows that they're lying. I think some people just want to believe it. They're like, oh, he's saying what I believe. But the dude, Matthew Iglesias of Vox.com, once wrote that progressive messaging had successfully convinced people they had not received a tax break when they really did, and that was a success, a messaging success. That is amazing.
Starting point is 00:47:02 He celebrated the fact that they had successfully lied to people and tricked them into hating Trump for something he actually helped them on. Wow. Yeah, welcome. And how do you think it's going to get moving into November? I mean, people are becoming aware. They're seeing all this stuff that mainstream media is losing. I feel like it's falling through their fingers. And they're like, what do we do now?
Starting point is 00:47:22 What do we do now? Oh, CNN's gone full reality TV. Are they? stuff yeah so we talked about the greta thing right yeah yeah anderson cooper went on some tie-dye where he's like donnie trump jr wants to you know drag us shouldn't he be running his companies and i'm like why is anderson cooper getting into a like you know internet style flame war with donald trump jr over like a tweet why trump jr tweeted about greta so anderson cooper dedicated a segment to just like seriously it was like a tweet why trump jr tweeted about greta so anderson cooper dedicated a segment to just like seriously it was like a segment on cnn it was it was it was a short bit where he ragged on like the online outrage machine of the greta thunberg thing oh and i'm like they love it they're so
Starting point is 00:47:53 happy yeah they are jeff zucker the president of cnn was a reality reality tv guy it's probably why they brought him on they were like look man news doesn't work anymore you know you know you know reminds me of remember when people were were complaining about MTV no longer doing music? Yeah, MTV. I was just thinking about MTV. I'm like, yeah, MTV used to be awesome in the 90s. It was all music videos. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:15 And then you had MTV News. Slowly, they started adding these reality TV programs. And then eventually, no more music videos. And I remember that period where they were doing like TRL, like Totall like total request live yeah they wouldn't even show the whole music video it would be like a minute and a half of it yeah and i'd be like this is crazy like they they're thinking like we gotta kind of do it but we're not gonna do it yeah right but then that was like the early aughts where it started changing yeah and and there was a there was a post someone made like it was like a viral post I can't remember where it was.
Starting point is 00:48:45 But someone said, you don't even watch MTV anymore and you're complaining that they found a new audience that's more receptive to a different kind of content. Just face it, you've grown out of what they offered. There's other ways to get music. There's easier ways to get music. So they've
Starting point is 00:49:02 changed. That's kind of true. You had the internet. It's true. So why complain about the fact that they've changed that's kind of true you had the Internet's true so why complain about the fact they've changed the problem with with CNN is they're supposed to be quote the most trusted name in news sources right I can't hear that and not laugh yeah I know you have you ever see the commercial we're like this is an Apple some people will tell you it's a banana or something that no. It's the cringiest, stupidest. Who tells anyone that an apple is a banana? CNN. I've never heard of CNN.
Starting point is 00:49:29 They're the only ones. Yeah, that would be them. That's what they've become. And so, look, I don't care. So here's where I draw the line when I was talking about, like, you know, we're complaining about them complaining about Rick and Morty. It's like the difference is we're calling them out for lying. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:45 And I think that's fair. And when we do opinion segments, we're just two dudes hanging out in a home studio talking about how we feel with people who share similar feelings. And Lydia. And me also. I got you, Lydia. Oh, right. Thanks, Adam.
Starting point is 00:49:57 I am over here. Lydia literally exists. Two dudes and Lydia. And also Lydia. Yeah. But CNN is supposed to be telling us the facts. Yeah. They're not. They're not. You know what it is? They can't
Starting point is 00:50:09 compete with us. Nope. Because we got true fans. Where's my camera? That's right. There we go. That's right. You guys are great. We love you guys. We appreciate you guys. Talking about you fans. And CNN has to pay the airport. I'm not kidding. They do. They have to pay the airport. That's embarrassing cnn pays
Starting point is 00:50:25 airports to to put them on the next time you're stuck in an airport think about that so anyway anyway we got an i want to i want to talk about space so let me just wrap this up and say there's gonna be a ton of people banned there's gonna be social media suppression you're gonna see brigade campaigns so recently on red, and I want to be very careful, so I'm going to avoid calling out specific people, but there have been brigade campaigns. What they'll do is they try to pretend like they're fans of yours that are disheartened. Okay. Like, I used to be such a biggest fan of Adam. You really changed, Adam.
Starting point is 00:50:56 I think you've got to get back to reality and start talking about why the Republicans are bad. I think you've lost sight of reality. Things like that. Okay. It's very obvious, but think you've lost sight of reality. Things like that. Okay. It's very obvious, but that's the attempt to manipulate you. So it's part of the black propaganda thing. You might go on Twitter one day and see like 50 messages where they're like, bro, dude, dude, I love you, man.
Starting point is 00:51:17 That show's awesome. But hey, when you mention this thing, it's not cool. And then you see all these messages and think everyone's mad at you. And you go, oh, I better not say that again. It's a trick. I don't even check my notifications. I like i don't care dude don't yeah i don't care absolutely don't don't care anything people have tagged me with some uh some funny stuff that they click they straight up tell me they hate me oh and that's okay that's cool thanks for taking the time to uh at least hit me up that's great you know you know what i always say when i was little i was told the opposite of love isn't hate.
Starting point is 00:51:46 It's indifference. Okay. Because it is. Indifference is like you don't even think about the person. Right. Love and hate are both very powerful emotions. You're thinking about me. You're thinking about me.
Starting point is 00:51:56 You can love someone you hate. You can hate me, but you're still thinking about me. You can hate someone you love. You can actually love someone, but just hate them. That's a good point. It's true. So they're not opposites. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:03 So if somebody says they hate you, then've successfully won you you've won them over and you're now in their hearts that's right you're in their head forever rent free rent free in their heads and so i always you know i always say things like i i'm when people tweet at me and say nasty things and go on facebook i'm like my honest feeling about this is a weird sense of accomplishment. Yeah, okay. You know, like growing up, being a high school dropout, and now getting to the point where there are all these people that feel like I'm important enough to where they have to complain about me to their friends.
Starting point is 00:52:34 That's cool. It's kind of a crazy feeling. It's kind of like free advertising also. It is. Because then their friends are like, who is this guy? Who is this guy? I've got to check out this Tim Pool guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Oh, actually, he's pretty good. He's not bad when i'm in new york and there's uh i would say for the most part the people who recognize me are like yo dude you're awesome yeah the guy was like are you tim pool i'm like i live right here dude like a block away from my house he freaked out that was cool i was like no the craziest the craziest thing was when i was in iceland and i was in this middle of nowhere in iceland and i went to a burger joint and two I was in Iceland, and I was in this middle of nowhere in Iceland. Oh, yeah, I remember this story. And I went to a burger joint, and two guys walked in.
Starting point is 00:53:07 They stopped, and they're like, are you Tim Pool? And I was like, bro. Dude, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No, nothing beats Billy Corgan. He's going, Tim Pool? Oh, yeah. I met Billy Corgan.
Starting point is 00:53:15 He's cool, dude. That's like the icing on the cake. You did tell the story, yeah. That's the icing on the cake. The first time I met Billy Corgan, I was all excited because I grew up listening to the pumpkins and uh and he was standing there and then as i was being introduced he stops and goes hey you're tim pool right i watch your videos and i was like whoa yeah i was like that's so cool dude yeah red i was at i was at a premiere for one of his new albums that dude's cool i apparently he's like someone mentioned he saw someone turn into
Starting point is 00:53:41 a lizard i guess yeah i don't know about all that but uh billy corgan smashing pumpkins great band so uh no but anyway i i agreed what i i forgot what i was trying to bring up when i mentioned being recognized because i wasn't trying to make it about living rent free in their heads yeah yeah yeah i was gonna say when people when people in new york yell f you tim pool i'm like man that guy really cares yeah thank you dude really cares yeah i appreciate that it's like it's funny the guy really cares. Thank you, dude. He really cares. I appreciate that. It's funny, the guy who said that he hates me, he did this whole rant, and then I click on his profile, and I was like, who is this guy?
Starting point is 00:54:11 And it says, hashtag stop bullying. Oh. I freaking love it. That was his profile. I was like, ah. Sounds like an SJW. Good for you, sir. Good for you, sir. We should talk about outer space. Let's do some super chats. We for you, sir. Good for you, sir. We should talk about outer space. Yes, we should.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Let's do some super chats. We will do super chats. Here we go. And then we will talk about outer space. What up, everybody? Oh, yeah. There we go. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:54:33 What? The UFO is not spinning. Oh? No, no, no. No, no, no. We have to be told to spin the UFO. Oh, that's right. We have to be instructed.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Okay. Someone will have to make a request for us. We need a super chat or we're not doing it. All right. Let's read our... Well, we won't know. We haven't read our super chats. All right. All right.'s right. You have to be instructed. Okay. Someone will have to make a request for us. We need a super chat or we're not doing it. All right, let's read our... Well, we won't know. We haven't read our super chat. All right, all right, all right.
Starting point is 00:54:49 That's it. First thing, we've got another segment. The sun is entering a lockdown period where it's basically... It might get cold. They say...
Starting point is 00:54:57 Last time it happened, there was an ice age. We're going to get to that segment. Well, it wasn't an ice age. No. It was a mini ice age or something? Yeah, it was like 1790 to 1830 or something.
Starting point is 00:55:04 It was like 40 years. I'm so excited, dude. But it messed up crops. Oh, that's not exciting. That's not cool. No, it wasn't very good. Cool weather would be nice. We're going to get to that, but we're going to do super chats first, so we're going to read your questions and comments, but make sure you follow me at TimCast. Make sure you follow Adam at
Starting point is 00:55:19 Oh, hey, yeah. Can we get there? There we go. Adam Krigler. You know the thing. Because you can send Adam story suggestions. If you follow Adam on. Because you can send Adam story suggestions. You know the thing. If you follow Adam on Twitter, you can send him story suggestions. Yeah, please do. And then we use them for the show. Do it.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Yep. Actually, someone on Twitter sent me that. $500 to spin the UFO. All right, drop that $500 super chat. We'll spin this thing. Let's see that green. I will spin it until it flies off of the mount for $500. Yeah, okay. You know it for $500. This is an air
Starting point is 00:55:48 duster and we just point it and the air spins it. Alright, let's do it. We gotta focus. Alright, so keep an eye on that $500. Alright, I'm watching. It's like a game show now. Oh yeah. Alright, let's read. Come on down. Rick Sanchez says, no one wants Rick and
Starting point is 00:56:03 Morty boycotted. Trust me, I'm an unbiased source. Yes, Rick Sanchez. That's right, Rick. Mm-hmm. Justa says, first, eat plants. You know, actually, I ate all vegan today. You did? I did, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:14 You did? But it wasn't like, it wasn't conscious. We got these- I don't care. I'm still proud of you. We got these corn dogs that they're vegan. Oh, those are good. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:56:23 And I wanted them because you can just microwave and eat them. Yeah, they're yummy. We also have fish sticks, but you gotta cook them through. Mm-hmm. So I was like, Oh, those are good. And I wanted them because you can just microwave and eat them. Yeah, they're yummy. We also have fish sticks, but you got to cook them through. So I was like, dude, I got like a minute I want to eat. So I just nuked them. But I put mayonnaise on them. Oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Because I am not vegan. You could have had my vegan mayonnaise. Yeah, could have. Yeah. But it was more like, I'm not going to be vegan. So you were 99% vegan today. Yeah, but we have this. Spin it, $100.
Starting point is 00:56:46 I rescind... Oh! We have $100 to spin it. We have $100. Oh, my goodness. We shall spin for you. Most wonderful spin ever. Pull it.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Who was that? Who was that? BB. All right, all right. BB, that was... Wow. All right, no, no, don't overspin it. Yeah, can you pull it toward you a little so everybody can see it?
Starting point is 00:57:04 No, no, no, don't risk moving it. Oh,. No, no. Don't overspin it. Yeah. Can you pull it toward you a little so everybody can see it? No, no, no. Don't risk moving it. Oh, there's some light. You can't see it at all. No, but it's spinning now. It's spinning like crazy. All right, BB. We did it.
Starting point is 00:57:13 We did. We got you. We did it for you. This dude actually donated $100. Holy. I said it. I said we wouldn't do it unless we got a super chat. So thank you.
Starting point is 00:57:23 I wanted to see what would happen if I just let it spin. And it starts bouncing up and down and then just like bounces off. Oh, really? Yeah. It spins off into orbit. Super spin. It wobbles left and right and it's throwing the weight. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:35 And then it just like flies off. One thing is going now. Woo. Nice. We'll see how long it spins for. Yeah. Thank you for the spin super chat. Yeah, that was fun.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Let's read. Where are we at? Tim Buchanan says, Tim, have you seen that China has planned to start doing beaching training with their military? Some people think it is to invade Taiwan. Well, what else would it be for? Of course.
Starting point is 00:57:55 To invade Taiwan. Yeah. Grace Fang says, to anyone with lactose intolerance, look up Green Valley Creamery, Buff Creamery, Cabot Creamery, and 2 Plus Aged Cheese.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Really? Interesting. I have a light lactose intolerance. I believe it has something to do with being Asian. Omega Hunter says, the media attacks on Rick and Morty are just part of an evil Morty's plot. Also, Adam Krigler F. Someone just superchatted 200 bucks. I don't know if that was to spin it, but I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Oh, thank you. Excellent. Generic background character. I saw that. Thank you. That's huge. Yeah. Was that because we spun the UFO? They were going to say spin, but then they were like, oh, it's spinning. There you go. That was nice of them.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Thank you. Ryan Jones says, just wanted to thank you, Tim, for your reporting. Keep up the good work on all channels. Y'all the best. Appreciate it. If you guys haven't already, you really got to check out Scanner. SCNR.com. Yeah, it looks good. It's lighting up. It's looking good.
Starting point is 00:58:46 But now I can just straight up say it because Rocco Castoro is the former editor-in-chief. Oh, it's official. Yeah, it's official. Go ahead. Sorry. I was like, I'm like, Rocco, you got to let me know when I'm going to tell everybody like you're basically running this with Emily. Yeah. So I don't – they run it the way they run it.
Starting point is 00:59:09 My role is mostly like I want to – I'm just going to make sure they never do what we do. There should be no point where anyone from the scanner team is going like, here's how I feel about Trump. It should be like we're on the ground reporting. We're interviewing people. We're doing Verite stuff. And so that's the gist of it. Can we get like this? Vice News used to be so cool.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Yeah, they did. And they got woke. They really did. That's all I want to make sure. I want to make sure they never do anything like I do where they complain about Democrats and they never do anything like anyone else where they complain about Republicans. I can complain all day and night about the Democrats. So total impartial news. Editorially independent.
Starting point is 00:59:38 They do their thing. Sounds good. And Rocco ran Vice. I don't know to what degree, so I'm going to be very careful. But he had a very high-ranking role. He was officially the editor-in-chief, but he ran international content. He was also a correspondent. And Vice is on the downswing in a lot of ways.
Starting point is 00:59:56 Reached out to him. Scanner's on the upswing. He's on the upswing. I got it. I got it. And so we have a trailer over at scnr.com. They've produced all of it. They've been working on this stuff.
Starting point is 01:00:04 They've been really, really great about it. And we got a trailer over at scnr.com. They've produced all of it. They've been working on this stuff. They've been really, really great about it. And we got a bunch of plans. So what they're doing is editorially independent. And it's going to be mostly video. And then another thing I'm going to be doing is a fact-checking news aggregator. So we've got to get space, a building. And the goal is going to be to hire writers who basically will we will have original reporting so i'm gonna i'm gonna try and find some legit journalists cool and it is going
Starting point is 01:00:31 to be like i'm trying to figure out how we can do the news where it's like first you get the facts then you get our take so you can stop reading you can ignore it okay but i think one of the challenges news faces is that everyone wants some analysis on it yeah yeah nobody yeah. Nobody wants to just read, like, everybody saw the tweet. We saw Trump do the backflip. We don't need to, you know, read your article about it. Right, right. But then we would talk about context and then do, like, you know, analysis pieces after the fact. So that's like, that's, long story short.
Starting point is 01:00:58 It sounds like they're a good team with you because they'll do it their way. And then I'll. And then you can give the analysis basically the goal is to like sit down in the morning with with some people and be like here are the stories that i think are really big that i want to talk about yeah and then have them be like we need to fact check this okay so it's a it's a way of expanding basically so that there's it's already what i do when i like read a story and give my take on it now i'll have a fact checking team which i can make sure that I don't get things wrong.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Yeah. And then I can also do more. So like a story comes out, it's like Donald Trump through, you know, food in the Koi pond. It's, it's,
Starting point is 01:01:34 it's, I don't want it to be like, um, they have these fact-checking websites like factcheck.org and stuff. Okay. No, I want it to be like an actual destination where you can come see videos, see other content,
Starting point is 01:01:43 but you will get your articles with like, you a breakdown of like fact checking different sources and things like that that's the plan that won't be scanner that's scanner is video production but this is the next you know mission and the reason i'm separating them is the field reporting the on the ground the on the ground original reporting that they're doing needs to be protected and independent from me and from anybody else there's a risk of bias but the only thing i would ever do is if they ever came out and were like giving their opinions and stuff is when i would be like kibosh no guys can't no no you're like that's my job no it's just like no i know i know that's not what you want them to be i don't i don't i don't think there's a perfect answer to anything that's going on in the culture war
Starting point is 01:02:23 because you can criticize me for writing on Democrats all day. It's funny. People post and they're like, oh, Tim does complain about Democrats. And I'm like, that's basically true. I mean, it's not entirely fair because I do segments about UFOs. I do segments about media, and I'm very media critical. But the media and the Democrats are very much in sync. And so you end up seeing fake news news and that's where the overlap comes but then it's also um for me it's like trump is winning trump's been winning and we're trying to track like what are
Starting point is 01:02:50 the democrats doing it's not news that donald trump is the president he's running again it is news what joe biden does yeah very true look i'm biased it's just it's just the way it is by all means you can rag on me all day and night and i think it's fair so i'm trying to figure out how do you actually solve for that because i got opinions man I'm going to complain about what I want to complain about and you do it so well and well here's the plan I was like here's what I'll do I'll find some people that are like down and want to do journalism and I'll help you know
Starting point is 01:03:13 fund in a variety of ways we did a crowdfunding thing a bunch of people donated and that is a way to have them be editorial independent and make sure news exists and that is scnr.com check it out and rocco and rocco's on the vice rocco's on the team cool team so so i gotta say someone just super chatted again another hundred dollars they said it's payday for me i'm in a good mood let's spin
Starting point is 01:03:37 it again that's graph von tiro oh i'm guess i'm gonna spin it this time hold on see wait someone said spin it the other way can Can I do that? Yeah. Can I go the other way? Just hold it down and point it on the other side. Oh. Going to come to a full stop. Yep. We're slowing, slowing.
Starting point is 01:03:53 Oh, we stopped. We are going the other way. Yes. Spinning it. This is for you, Graf. Just keep going until it starts bouncing. I see the bounce. Starting to wobble.
Starting point is 01:04:08 Just wait. Just let it go. Just keep doing it. No, no, no, no. All right, all right, all right. No, that's good. That's good. It goes crazy.
Starting point is 01:04:16 We got to do super chats. It goes crazy. But thank you. Thank you, everybody. There are right now people listening on just like iTunes, and they're like, I just hear a vacuum or something. What the heck is happening? What are they doing?
Starting point is 01:04:26 It does sound like a vacuum. That's true. If you are on the podcast, we are spinning our UFO that this sucker to my left got on Instagram. It's paid for itself. It's paid for itself. Boom. I got to give it to you.
Starting point is 01:04:38 I got to give it to you. Dude, it's a UFO that levitates. I know. It floats because of electromagnetism. All right. That's cool. That is awesome. I just love busting. Let's read some more Super Chats. Busting your chaps. Because we're supposed to be talking about space,
Starting point is 01:04:52 bro. We'll get there. We'll get there. Let's see. X says, the real scandal is the FISA warrant on the cruise campaign. John Durham is going to be done at the end of the month or mid-June and schools out forever. We've been hearing it. We've been hearing it. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not entirely confident. John McLeod, just want to say y'all are awesome.

I still need your favorite color. Oh, thank you. We had a crazy session. Wait, what's Lydia's favorite color? Oh, my favorite color? My favorite color is blue. You can't see it. It looks like black.

But we'll get the skate videos coming soon.

Starting point is 01:06:28 I mean, we've been skating. So today, something clicked that now you can now connect your street skating to the ramp. That's what it was. So I've always been mostly street skating. When I was younger, I was really, really, really good. And then I kind of just went to chill mode and just skated for fun. But used to do crazy stuff like flip and flip out nollie flip you know no slide nollie heel nose nollie flip front difficult tricks for those who don't know skateboarding these are advanced tricks they're difficult no joke probably the best flipping like i think for me is nollie heel flip front crook uh to fakie yeah and. Yeah. And that was me skating 14 years ago.
Starting point is 01:07:06 So now I kind of just chill and do a lot of basic stuff and don't really film a whole lot. But I'm hoping that with the ramp and skating more consistently, I've got some... Well, you've got a filmer. I've got some ideas. I've got you. You've got me.
Starting point is 01:07:17 We're going to do some great segments. We're going to get crazy on this mini ramp. Actually, we're not that far. I mean, Corona, but my buddy in New York makes skate videos videos you can come down i'm trying to get brett to come down that would be dope brett novek famous skate producer if you don't know him you should check him out yeah because he's good yeah brett brett novek that would be dope to get brett down yeah i hit him up and i'm like but we're all under pandemic so yeah dude that would be a really good video yes but i gotta i i the way But I got to get my sea legs.
Starting point is 01:07:45 I can skate on flat ground and do crazy tricks. Well, you got them back today. That's what I'm saying. It clicked. Right. Now you got to connect them to the rest of the tricks. So today was the day I started getting my, you know, just like actually being able to just do basics just on the mini ramp. Flip in stuff.
Starting point is 01:08:02 And so probably I want to skate tomorrow, but I think it's better to do Sunday. We can do both. Sunday might be filmed. I might do some crazy stuff. And so probably I want to skate tomorrow, but I think it's better to do Sunday. We can do both. Sunday might be filmed because I might do some crazy stuff. I might just go nuts. I'll film you. We'll see how it plays out. I'll film you go nuts. Let's go. We'll see. We'll see. We'll see.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Depends on the weather. All right. Where are we at? David says, hey, Adam, is soy milk just normal milk introducing itself in Spanish? The people deserve to know. Yes. Yes, it is. Same milk.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Same milk. Vash says, some people say it don't be like it is, but it do. True. That's the fact. Very true.
Starting point is 01:08:32 Kyle Buchanan says, Tim, think of OKC for your new home. We have fiber internet, cheap prices, and no gun laws. Yeah, but it's central time, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:08:40 That guy who shrugs says, hey Tim, wondering when you will write a book about your life. Would preorder that in a heartbeat. The awesome stories about working in Vice alone would be awesome, I'm sure. And I actually got a preliminary contract with a major, major talent agency and company years ago. Yeah, I was wondering.
Starting point is 01:08:57 Didn't you have that book? And I spent – it fell apart. And it was – That sucks. I kind of blame the agency because they dropped the ball and everything. We actually had some TV show deals too. Really?
Starting point is 01:09:09 And they wouldn't do the paperwork. And I'm like, hey, Matt, hey, you know what? I don't care. That's annoying. If you don't have the time to bust... I'll keep it more family friendly. If you don't have the time to work hard,
Starting point is 01:09:20 then neither do I. Yeah, right, right, right. So if they drop the ball and mess up the contracts, I'm not going to sweat about it. I'm going to keep working and, and, and figure it out.
Starting point is 01:09:28 And now guess what? Got a successful, uh, you know, YouTube, several, several successful YouTube channels. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:33 But a really, really successful live podcast. That is correct. Yes. Highlight. We've got scanner taking off and there's great things. Uh, scanner.
Starting point is 01:09:43 Uh, well, I, I'll, I don't want to say too much but they they recently just produced something for a really really big network so we'll see how things play out man i'm excited but i'm like agent could have been involved yep could have dropped the ball so you know maybe a book there's a lot of stuff to write about i could write a whole book on fake
Starting point is 01:09:59 news the media manipulation life tim they want to know about your life. That was actually the story. So the pitch that got accepted was three parts. And it was about me getting into the hacker community and my friends and social engineering stuff, then the height of the hacktivism and activism in Occupy Wall Street, and then into news media and fake news and all this stuff. And they actually storyboarded everything out. We walked through everything. And then the people they brought on messed everything up and fell apart. Do you still have all that information?
Starting point is 01:10:34 No. Shame. I mean, probably somewhere, but I don't need it. Whatever. It's crazy stories, man. Like growing up on the south side of Chicago. You're from Chicago? Gangbangers.
Starting point is 01:10:42 Whoa. You know, just like all the crazy stuff that went down. The hacker stuff. There was some crazy how I almost became a Bitcoin... I would be probably a Bitcoin millionaire right now if not for my hacker buddy who told me not to do it.
Starting point is 01:10:56 It was March of 2011. Bitcoin was at, I think, 70 cents. For one Bitcoin? For one Bitcoin. And I said, I got five grand. I can put in a Bitcoin. I could buy five grand worth right now.
Starting point is 01:11:08 Oh, this just hurts. Let's just move on. And he said, dude, what are you going to do with this? It's like, it's probably a scam. They're going to take your money. And then in a few months, it's not worth anything. And then I was like, it's probably good advice. And then a couple months later, it went to like $5.
Starting point is 01:11:25 And now it's at like $9,000 or whatever. For one. Yeah. So if I had 6,000 Bitcoin at $9,000 apiece. You're going to be all right? It's a funny story. It's a fun story. And it's funny because whenever I'm with my buddy, we excitedly tell the story.
Starting point is 01:11:39 Like, dude, he told me not to buy Bitcoin and I'd be so rich right now. And it's funny. It's hilarious. It's like whatever. It would be a funny book. It's hilarious. It's like whatever. Funny. It would be a funny book. It's laugh or cry, man. I think it's funny, man.
Starting point is 01:11:50 Or a little bit of both. Yeah, laugh. Laugh and cry. Wolfsbane says, hey, Tim. He says, hey, did you see the newest episode of JRE? I didn't know the importance of vitamin D and it was very informative. Definitely. You got to get sunlight.
Starting point is 01:12:01 We were outside today getting our vitamin D. Totally. Oh, man, sweating it out. Meximan man and cheese says trump has a lot of hidden voters i think he has a lot of black propaganda just found out an old friend who's a major saw is a secret trump supporter whoa yeah i wouldn't be surprised if one of the reasons the polls heavily oppose trump is that a lot of trump supporters pretend to be leftists to to make them the left yeah to make them think they're good. You get someone coming out and attacking you and
Starting point is 01:12:27 insulting you and berating you and you're like, I don't want to be involved with that. And it was a trick the whole time. Yeah, if the mainstream media called me and said, who are you going to vote for? I'd be like, yeah, Biden. And then I'd hang up and start laughing. But they're not calling you. No, you're right. Who are they calling? They're calling landlines? Who are they calling? Who has landlines? Who are they calling? Who are they calling?
Starting point is 01:12:45 Who has landlines? Who are they polling, man? That's a demographic. That's weird. Old people. Where are we at? They know we can get you. Chad said, okay, here we go.
Starting point is 01:12:54 Wait, wait, wait. Judah says, is it wrong to drink milk and destroy workplace toilet due to lactose intolerance? Yes. I would say so. That's not nice. Yeah, that's wrong. That is not nice. I don't think it's wrong. At least bring a candle. wrong. That is not nice. I don't think it's wrong.
Starting point is 01:13:05 At least bring a candle. Yeah. That is not friendly. Something. Light a match. Matthew Hammond says, West Tennessee has $70 a gig fiber to the home. That's cool.
Starting point is 01:13:15 Chad says, if Dems drop Biden, then do they validate Obamagate? Slightly, but not enough for anything. No, they would drop him for his dementia. Yeah, exactly. Jack Dahl says, with all these people leaving or planning to leave tyrannical centers right after the census,
Starting point is 01:13:30 this is going to seriously mess up election predictions and campaign strategy for a long time. Yes, it is. Oh, yeah. Yep, good point. 420,000 people have fled New York City. Wow. Mostly from Manhattan. And they're mostly rich. Yeah, I was just going to say, they all rich? That's going to change. That removes, that's basically going to remove a congressional district. Yeahattan and they're mostly rich yeah i was just gonna say that's going to be all rich that's gonna change that that that removes that's basically gonna remove a congressional
Starting point is 01:13:48 district yeah but they're they're gone for now they still own their their penthouses it's not like they left left i think they went to their other houses and and and they okay the lockdowns continued sure and the census and they're sitting pretty in their other house and they're not there okay so they don't fill out the census so then and they're not there. Okay. So they don't fill out the census. So then the next two years come by and they say they don't live here. Right, right. And then they say we're redistricting. There's not enough people.
Starting point is 01:14:12 Boom. AOC's gone. Hmm. Yep. AOC was doing census drives, trying to get people to fill them out. Oh. Because she's going to lose her district. That sounds right.
Starting point is 01:14:21 And then she's gone. Where does she run? She's famous, though. We'll see how that plays out. Yeah. That sounds right. And then she's gone. Where does she run? She's famous, though. We'll see how that plays out. Yeah. Let's see. Chisholm says, Listen to the last podcast on the left and No Dogs in Space. Soak your hand in Epsom salts to help

We gotta put a cloth over this. Fast fashion, fast furniture. Yeah. James says, Kaylee McEnany, great press secretary
Starting point is 01:14:49 or the greatest press secretary. I mean, so far she's been the greatest. She comes equipped to go after the media. It's been hilarious. She brings those receipts. I love it. I saw her shut the dude down with the fedora on. He's like, well, what about this? This is something you said. And she's like, yeah, we're not here to talk about about me we're here to talk about the president yeah and i'm
Starting point is 01:15:07 backing him and then i was like oh she did that thing where they were like the guy's like will you walk back the claims you made about trump and she goes will the media walk back the claim where they said the coronavirus is not as bad as the flu where vox said and it was like whoa oh snap it is satisfying to watch. Dude, why are they arguing with her? I don't know. It's so dumb. You personally said something that no one cares about.
Starting point is 01:15:32 Care to explain? No. How are you informing me by asking her feelings? I know. She's a press secretary. You say, you know, Donald Trump said that he wants to have the military come to deliver vaccines. Is there a timeline for this? We don't have a viable vaccine yet, but I'm assuming, my assumption would then be that
Starting point is 01:15:48 there's going to be a mobilization beforehand. Can you comment? And then she would say, yes, the current plan is X, Y, and Z. Thank you for clarifying that. I will send that to my audience. Instead, they're like, Donald Trump, you're an awful person. How do you respond to that? What?
Starting point is 01:16:03 Like that lady who was like, you're treating this like a global competition can you comment and trump was like what ask china and then she goes because i'm chinese how dare you she pulls her mask on and goes why are you asking me that it's like shut up you self-righteous twat am i allowed to say that i I don't know. Getting spicy. It's British. It is British. It doesn't count. It doesn't count. Spicy is spicy, man.
Starting point is 01:16:29 I love it. Think about how self-right you have to be to be like, how dare China insult, how dare Trump insult China to me, a person of Asian descent. I especially like that she had to remove her mask to show that she was Asian. It's like, all right, well, obviously that was what he was getting it's just that aha i got you that's all it was that's all it was and then and then the other woman from cnn she's like trying to interrupt trump's like no not you and she goes but but i want to can i ask him he's like no and then she argues with him it's the craziest thing to me man it's like you're in a press conference.

Why did they seek unmasking of Flynn?
Starting point is 01:17:42 Yeah. Like there was no reason to get that information. None. Unmasking is supposed to be something important pertaining to a law enforcement action you are engaged in. Right, right, right. Nope. Shady business.

And it's, like, weird. latest episode of Rick and Morty, Jesus is in it. And it's like weird. Oh, really? And then, you know, Morty makes a comment about it being like too much and offensive. And then Rick's like, we were literally saved by Jesus Christ. How could that be offensive?
Starting point is 01:20:34 That's fantastic. Yeah. That's a great episode. Literally saved by Jesus Christ. The crazy one says, more cat! Yeah, where is Buku? He is not here. Do you think we control the cat? We do not. Yeah, seriously.

Starting point is 01:21:00 We do what? I played a song of mine called Find Yourself on Friday before you got here. Or you can play it. Well, I mean, I could play it, but it's with Nish. She came and joined us. So it was both of us. She sang a little. We might be able to.
Starting point is 01:21:14 Sometimes YouTube doesn't allow you to download for some reason. But we can. And because they're live streams. But we'll figure it out. We can screen grab it or something. Okay. Yeah, we'll figure it out. What was the first question, though?
Starting point is 01:21:23 Are you happy with the Yao fanfic because it means no fanfiction with you and Soy Freya? I mean, that's not necessarily true. There's still time for fanfiction for Soy Freya to be introduced. Oof. Oh, my goodness.

Starting point is 01:22:21 want you to play a song. 35% want me to play a song. You're going to play first so I can do the audio levels. Oh, okay. I'm going to rock a song. One of the issues is that... You're getting both. Who knew? The audio levels are a challenge if I sing louder than you.
Starting point is 01:22:36 I don't know. Do you? It depends on the song I'm playing, actually. You're pretty consistent with your volume. I don't know. It changes with my songs. I don't know what I'll play. We'll see what happens. Yeah. We're going to play some music. Is the jam cam on? I I don't know. It changes with my songs. I don't know what I'll play. We'll see what happens.
Starting point is 01:22:45 Yeah. We're going to play some music. Is the jam cam on? I think so, yeah. It is. Look, the 12-string is not in its usual place. It's over there waiting. Yep.

You don't know. It's a pretty heavy seat to sit in. Oh, yeah. It's the throne. I've been in that seat.
Starting point is 01:23:27 You gotta work it. The crazy one said, if Voldemort's whistleblower report caused a trial that ended in not guilty, does that mean Voldemort filed a false report? If that is so, shouldn't there be charges against him? That's a leap, but it does raise questions,
Starting point is 01:23:44 which may result, because some people have, I think Jim Jordan may have brought it up. I'm not entirely sure, but yeah, he might have been called out. Graf von Thierl says, the Karens have yanked the license away from the barber after the court sided with him. The current pandemic has shown beyond reproach that Democrats are petty
Starting point is 01:24:00 and tyrannical when push comes to shove. That's true, but man, I don't trust the Republicans when they go into Senate and they're like, we're going to vote for FISA powers. And it's like this caused the problems for Trump. Don't you get that? That's why I'm just, you know what, man? I don't like anybody.
Starting point is 01:24:15 Rand Paul's cool. He's like one of the best politicians. Dan Crenshaw's cool. Yeah. But Dan Crenshaw's been wrong on a lot of things. Yeah. That's not fair. Does he admit he's wrong? He does. And that's not fair of me because Rand Paul's been wrong on a lot of things. That's not fair. Does he admit he's wrong?
Starting point is 01:24:25 He does. And that's not fair of me because Rand Paul's been wrong on things as well. But Rand Paul is just principled and consistent. That's why I respect it. Always that no vote. E. Melkai says, have you seen the Rekia Media's vid on Arbery shooting? He broke it down with Andrew Branca of Law of Self-Defense. I did not.

Socialists, communists, postmodernists wanting to knock the West back on its heels. That's a fact. Thanks for the super chat, Connie B. We see Guy. Thanks for becoming a member. Appreciate it. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:27:59 GH says, what do you think about white female journalists writing Karen is sexist and now racist? Now it's a popular term, even though it came from minorities. They think they just they think they just don't like getting a taste of own medicine. Of course. That's what it is. Of course. Of course.
Starting point is 01:28:14 Rob says people are worried about the wrong things. If you don't like the show, don't watch it or change the channel. Open your eyes to the reality of the craziness in the world. Boom. For sure. Jason says beanies are now even bigger. Jeff Dunham just revealed his new puppet. He is a beanie-wearing
Starting point is 01:28:29 internet troll. Jeff is still taking suggestions for a name for him. What would you suggest? Rudiger. ZipTies says, re-black propaganda. That's good. You should check out the movie, Wag the Dog. It's a 90s movie about politicians trying to use fake news to influence popular sentiment.
Starting point is 01:28:45 Cool. Never seen it. I'll check it out. Heard of it. Kevin Mullally says, we need a Tim Pool and Alex Jones trapped in an alien fantasy world anime. That'd be fun. Yuri says, what happens if a man wins Miss Monopoly despite the handicap?
Starting point is 01:29:00 He's a bigot. Probably. You actually can't win. It's written in the rules. Yeah. Is it? I mean, it's a lot harder it would make sense I'm just joking jade actually you don't buy things you like invest in women's inventions or something okay then you're never gonna seriously that's how it works yeah so like spanks and I'm not kidding like I'm pretty sure it's one of the things in there you know you know what spanks are I do unfortunately I don't really know there
Starting point is 01:29:24 it's like pantyhose or something? Yep. There you go. JDNX says, Joe Biden is Hillary Clinton in a Donald Trump mask, complete with a veneer of confusing, belligerent language and a sexual assault. Let's see. Kite, the twin blade. Tim, re-socialism versus capitalism.
Starting point is 01:29:41 Read this for all the Zoomers who will never hear it. I can't hit the links in the super chat. Sorry. David, thanks for coming to super chat. Thank you. Max says, we have an example of universal health care. It's the military. Except most of the members are required to be moderately healthy.
Starting point is 01:29:55 Took me eight months to get an x-ray after an accident. Needless spinal surgery. Years of corrective procedures and nothing to show. Man, the VA is so great. Sucks. The Brat, thanks for joining. Thank you. A Abe says,
Starting point is 01:30:06 what happened to Occupy Wall Street? They got kicked out of the park. They fizzled out. People got bored with it. Mr. Dan says, if you go skiing and break your leg, you did that, so why would that be different?
Starting point is 01:30:17 I don't know if that's in reference to. What's that in reference to? Because we were talking about universal Medicare. So if you break your leg, you would get the care. That's an extenuating circumstance, right? Talking about universal Medicare. So if you break your leg, you know. That's an emergency. That's an extenuating circumstance, right?
Starting point is 01:30:28 Because no one has a reasonable. You didn't have to go skiing. That's the point they're making. That's something you sign when you ski. Nobody goes skiing expecting to break their legs. But you sign. That's also a good point. You're increasing the risk to do it.
Starting point is 01:30:41 But also people who are physically active are less likely to be hurt. So if you're skiing, you're being physically active. It kind of counters it out. That's kind of a good point, though. If you're morbidly obese and go skiing well, you're morbidly obese, so that contributed to the injury. A healthy, fit person has an accident. Accidents happen. So we cover those.
Starting point is 01:31:00 But it's a complicated question of where to draw the line when we when we implement something like that yep john jacob jingleheimer schmidt says hey beanie brigade you keep talking about relocation with uh west kansas very libertarian and still moderate mind your own business mentality since you like traveling via road we're halfway to everywhere but we want to do a retail shop that's one of the things so gotta, gotta be like somewhat... There's talks of a skate brand. Skateboarding. Yes. Me so trashed as I live and work near Seattle. A customer, old white woman, told me
Starting point is 01:31:33 that this virus is our punishment for how we white people treated Africans in the past. I'm so sick of this area. Time to go. It's almost like the people who claimed the hurricanes hitting Louisiana were in response to gay marriage or whatever. People believe stuff yeah crazy like fry like fries is unfortunately people are sheeple sheep plus people and they just follow the shepherd eric idol says and has on his guitar don't apologize for being funny remember f them if they can't take a joke right on true
Starting point is 01:32:01 william eggleston says so when are you going to change the name of this podcast to timcast soy jesus and chick in the background uh it's too many words i guess that is a long title gabriel mcleod says this is for adam last podcast people called you soy jesus or something and you gave the wrong pose you need to model it after buddy christ from dogma it's on youtube uh youtube that was that this oh that. Oh, this. Yeah. Was that good? Was that better? That was great. I like that.
Starting point is 01:32:31 Kyle says, please do a studio tour video. I'm curious about how the space is laid out and the technical bits of production, such as camera cues and switchboards. Don't forget, we're closing out with a jam tonight. Oh, we won't forget. I'll do it on Instagram. So follow me at TimCast on
Starting point is 01:32:48 Instagram. Follow Adam as well on Twitter and Instagram. And Instagram. But you can send him story ideas on Twitter. Also smash that like button. Boom! Smash it! Smash it! Alright, let's get through it. I already liked it. I can't smash it again. This was the super chat from BB saying, spin it. We did. Oh, we spun. And then generic background character, thanks
Starting point is 01:33:04 for that hefty super chat. Beautiful you fnp says tim you said on rogan uh things on aliens supposed to be revealed in april it's may i'm still waiting on my toilet since then my legs sleeping oh no the pentagon released the videos no get up get up yeah so the videos got released in april in april yeah graph on t-roll says it's my payday for me and i'm in a good mood so let's spin it again thanks for the super chat that was a huge one yeah three envy uh three nvy just got my trump check jersey shore surfer here the boardwalks have hundreds of people walking them and it's not even memorial day yet people do not want to be locked down nope they're over it isaac des moro says baby incoming very soon just want tim to say Adam's hair is beautiful. Oh, congratulations. I just did. No, no, no. Look me in the eyes and say it. Adam, your hair is
Starting point is 01:33:47 beautiful. Oh, thank you. That's very uncomfortable. Bobcat. Stop it. No, really, stop. Let me read. If we go several weeks without the Chinese military trying to provoke something, that's when you need to worry about a war. What you've been noticing
Starting point is 01:34:03 lately is just status quo. And that's what I've been pointing out, that this tit for tat stuff seems to be, it could be just normal and we're just focused on it now. Black Rock Beacon says, scanner looks promising. Looking to do similar work
Starting point is 01:34:15 as I develop the business, except I am trained counter insurgent with over 10 years of experience. Maybe one day we'll collab. Keep up the good work. Appreciate it. It's Fat Ed says, Mr. Poole, how do you rectify
Starting point is 01:34:24 the want to be an activist versus the fact that I have to work every day and can't make the time to go make a change? Is there a middle ground that I can choose? That's the problem. These leftists who go out and protest all the time don't have jobs. And that's, it's no surprise they demand the government pay them. Not all of them, but
Starting point is 01:34:40 many of them. And that's the challenge. Conservatives tend to have those jobs. Forced Out says, the Beanie Master, Sway Jesus, and that girl over there. That's me. Chad says, just got a Twitter for the sole purpose of following and sharing
Starting point is 01:34:56 y'all's vids. Wanted to donate before going on furlough. Aerospace manufacturing finally getting hit by this. Oh, man. Bummer, man. That sucks. Mossy says, just heard from my distributors. Now there is a mushroom shortage about to hit stores. No! No, I need my mushrooms.
Starting point is 01:35:09 My own crazy stuff. I feel like next year is going to be just one hiccup after another. Aw, but I love pepperoni and mushroom. Let's just grow our own mushrooms. I don't know how to do that.
Starting point is 01:35:17 My cousin ran a mushroom farm in Minnesota. You'll be in charge of the mushrooms. I'll hit them up. I'll hit them up. Be like, what do I do? Seal says,
Starting point is 01:35:24 hey, Tim, I've been learning a lot from you about journalism over the past couple of years i'm fed up with the political bias on both sides i'm 25 a pretty moderate conservative and want to help spread the truth any advice i don't know depends on what you need to do if you want to spread the truth just read as much as you can i guess talk to your friends look man i'm biased too obviously i rag on you know democrats all the time i don. I don't know if there's a solution. I think the solution might be scanner.
Starting point is 01:35:47 That's why I'm interested in making sure that they have their independence and can do real journalism without someone coming in and trying to jam them up, make them do biased nonsense. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:56 Mr. Scratch says, the Tony Hawk 1 and 2 remake is coming out in September. Here is $20 for a preorder. I did preorder already. All right, so I'm taking that 20 bucks. All right.
Starting point is 01:36:04 Okay. For my preorder. Tyler Wood says, Hey, Tim Alright, so I'm taking that $20. Alright. For my pre-order. Tyler Wood says, hey Tim, I didn't know you were from the area until last year at the Mines event. It showed me challenging each other's ideas can be friendly and constructive. Another one would be great after all this. I'd love to do it. Once we get a building
Starting point is 01:36:18 it'll be great. Tina Marie says, some pocket change just for Miss Lydia. You need to be on camera more. Slide in between the boys well she's like five feet away it's just the way we have a camera set up i'm right here i'm in the corner there i'm smiling yeah she's also she's also doing a lot controlling the cameras all the cameras yeah so it's the more nice technical role yeah talbot says had a triple digit jackpot winning powerball tickets with 5x multiplier once.
Starting point is 01:36:45 Coworker threw it out the night before the drawn accident with some receipts. I play only a few times a year investing. Bummer. Ascendiot says, who broke Soy Jesus' face? I guess we can blame the razor. Oh, your beard's
Starting point is 01:37:02 gone. You know what? It was a crazy skate session we had. We skated for almost two hours, man. And it was hot outside. So I just, I can't skate with a beard. So we would like do a run of the mini ramp and go into the shade and like splash water on our faces. Yeah, I was like, yep, that's
Starting point is 01:37:18 it. It's too hot for a beard now. Like Fry Like Fry says, here to all of your future endeavors, keep up the good work, all. Hope to see Adam cast IRL 2. Keep fighting against the corrupt, biased, and fake news. Futurama is the best. Whimmy warm warm wazzle.
Starting point is 01:37:32 Nice. Easy Pickle says, Hey Tim, Adam, and Lydia. Love the show. And all the crapping you do on the Dems. Do any of you play Magic Arena? If so, I'd love to play some Commander with you. I just got Arena again. I have it. I used to play it Commander with you. I just got Arena again.
Starting point is 01:37:45 I have it. I used to play it more, and then I stopped playing Final Fantasy VII Remake, Doom Eternal. There's a few games that are kind of keeping me busy right now. I went online looking up Ikoria sets. They're all sold out. Really? Yeah. I found some stores, and I was able to make some orders. But I was going to the usual stores and they're like sold out sold out sold out wow it's the manufacturing bump
Starting point is 01:38:08 yeah that's right because they're all printed in china are they yeah yeah there it is you can't get them from china anymore they're gonna look i bet the the next set they're gonna be printed very differently it's gonna be noticeable good yeah let's make them here let's see steven says my mom was always really good at Monopoly. Always kicked our butts all the time if we played as a family. No Miss Monopoly for us. Don't need it. Don't need it.
Starting point is 01:38:31 Samurai says, 20 beans for a twat. I needed that laugh. Keep a timestamp of those. I will try to. I don't know if that actually is a swear. I don't know. Is it? That was in the super chat, right?
Starting point is 01:38:43 Nah. I don't remember. SMU says, 10 bucks for the T-word and for entertaining us. Love you all. Pizza for everyone. Appreciate it. I don't know. Is it? That was in the super chat, right? Nah. SMU says 10 bucks for the T-word and for entertaining us. Love you all. Pizza for everyone. Appreciate it. Nice. Thanks for becoming a member. Thank you. Oh, we just jumped. Where were we at? I love when YouTube does that. It's so much fun.
Starting point is 01:38:56 Odysseus says it's funny that reporter pulled down her mask when we could see her just fine in her eyes. We understand. You don't need to take your mask off to make that point. Self-righteous. Dramatic. Charles Foster is noticing a trend, so I'll constructive criticism. Let your successes
Starting point is 01:39:12 speak for themselves. There's plenty, bud. For sure. Tracy says, check out Dan Bongino's show today. He explains how Obama knew about Flint. Hey Momo says, it's my birthday. Have some money. Thank you. That's the opposite of what's supposed to happen. Appreciate that. Thank you, though. Happy birthday. Kent Lee and Welling, loving the guitar, finally got its own camera, enjoying the stream this
Starting point is 01:39:29 evening. Thank you. Mossy Creek says, my distributors reached out to me today and let me know that there's a massive mushroom shortage coming right now. Also, you should totally move your op to Knoxville, Tennessee. We still love freedom here and low cost of living. Harrison says, did you see Senate just passed a bill allowing FBI overreach and no warrants for search history?
Starting point is 01:39:47 Don't know if it fully passed, but Motherboard was reporting it was to remove that ability and the Democrats supported removing the ability and Republicans, for the most part, defended it. And Bernie was nowhere to be found. It looked like, I saw the ticket, and it looked like Democrats and Republicans were all over the place.
Starting point is 01:40:04 Yes and no. But it was republicans that voted to keep it okay and most and most democrats voted to get rid of it along with many republicans so it wasn't completely seemed pretty republican democrat it was mixed but where was bernie he could have voted he could have he could have knocked it down evan says tim why do decry when innocent people die by the state or by accident but you don't shed a tear when innocent babies are killed? That is an ethical and moral conundrum that is too complicated to discuss in a short question. I had a really great conversation with Glenn Beck about it. And ultimately, it's just there's a serious freedom challenge in terms of the rights of individuals, the rights of the states.
Starting point is 01:40:45 And I don't know. I don't know stuff. But I think the conversation with Glenn Beck, if you check it out, it's on his podcast. Great conversation. Yeah, that's where you can find something good. Duck Duck Gee says, shout out to my fellow IT professionals who keep the world turning. Yeah, man. Downskated says, Tim, if you're going to speak about the South China Sea,
Starting point is 01:41:02 look up defense updates video about the USS Barry and China Uncensored on the 9-dash line. These issues have been long ongoing in the region. Will do. Dominic says, big cheese. Appreciate it. Bo says, as an American from California, I think the solution to this mess is to protest for a 2020 Bill of Rights, a national veto, UBI. You can't have my boom boomstick i'm also attempting to organize the la homeless i need connections and where were we just now here we go let's see uh white thatch thanks for becoming a member thank you and he says three ideas scanner uh use wikipedia like references in the articles so we can follow the research use a differential backup of the stories like news diffs for edits and editorial correction,
Starting point is 01:41:45 if you can store it on blockchain. That would be cool. I especially want to make sure we have edit history in all the stories, so you can actually look to see the changes, and explanations for changes and things like that. That's a good idea. We should be talking right now about outer space. Oh, let's do it.
Starting point is 01:41:59 Yes, we absolutely should. Yeah, let's get into this, because this freaked me out. When you showed me this, I was like, what? I am really excited. Oh, this is different, different yeah this sun is going on lockdown yeah this is the most important story we do have one where we're talking about ufos or whatever but this lockdown is really interesting because it kind of goes into you know the global warming coronavirus has reached the sun it's the sun oh this the sun is going into the democrats have have told the sun to stay at home yep don't go out going into lockdown we Democrats have told the sun to stay at home.
Starting point is 01:42:25 Yep. Don't go out. Going into lockdown. We got to keep you in lockdown, sun. Well, they can't have the sunlight disinfecting the coronavirus. Oh, that's true. That's fair. Okay, we're joking.
Starting point is 01:42:34 Don't ban us, YouTube. We're not conspiracy theorists. Oh, my gosh. Let's read. That was definitely a joke, YouTube. But this is interesting. It's called something, a solar minimum. We did briefly mention it before on a past episode, but we're going to do it. We're going to jump into this story. Let's see what's going on. Let this is interesting. It's called something, a solar minimum. We did briefly mention it before on a past
Starting point is 01:42:45 episode, but we're going to do it. We're going to jump into this story. Let's see what's going on. Let's do this. The Daily Mail reports, now the sun has gone into lockdown. Reduced activity on solar surface has sparked fears of a doomsday mini ice age. So is it time we saw the light? Asks Jane Fryer. Big news
Starting point is 01:43:01 this week about the giant burning, boiling, spinning thermonuclear reactor which lies 93 million miles away from earth but is our primary source of life-giving heat and light that was the stupidest way to say we have news about the sun what on earth was that i don't want to be mean but come on that writing is terrible all right i'm gonna just skip over this weird waste of time that's really what it is is. Holy moly. It turns out the sun has gone into lockdown, recession, or more accurately, a deep period of solar minimum.
Starting point is 01:43:30 Minimum. Which means that the activity on the sun's surface has fallen dramatically and its magnetic field has become weaker, letting into the environment more of the sort of cosmic rays that cause dramatic lightning storms and interfere with astronauts and space hardware. They can also lead to the explosion of sprites, clusters of orange and red lights that shoot out
Starting point is 01:43:50 of the top of thunderstorms like 60 mile high palm trees in the sky. That is awesome. That is so cool. Oh, yes. And on top of all of that, theoretically, it could cause the temperature on Earth to drop to potentially catastrophic new lows. While the Met Office and members of the Royal Astronomical Society are urging us not to panic and reminding us that this is just nature, nothing to worry about, and the sort of thing that happens every 11 years or so as the sun passes through its activity cycle, some doom and gloomers are much less optimistic. I'm going to just interject a bit. And nature is scary, and nature is often reason to panic.
Starting point is 01:44:22 If a volcano explodes and you're nearby, well, you don't want to panic, but you should be alert and worried and running. Yeah. So I think it's funny that, like, it's just nature. Calm down. Yeah. Someone mentioned Tennessee as a potential spot. All I can think is, don't they have tornadoes every year that rip through Tennessee in the center?
Starting point is 01:44:40 Well, you know, we can't run from the sun, so if the sun stops you... Yeah. That's a good point. Yeah, it's just, I wouldn't panic. You know what? I'd just kick back, put my feet up, and be like, well, what are you going to do? I know you. You'd drive that van down by the river, wouldn't you? No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:44:52 If the world was ending and the sun was going out, I'd just sit back and be like, meh. I'll probably go skate the ramp. That would work. Yeah. Like, well, skate into infinity. I probably would do nothing different. I'd be like, well, skate into infinity. I just, I probably would do nothing different. I'd be like, well, here we go. What if like, what would you do if say like Australia right now got hit by like a massive,
Starting point is 01:45:11 you know, just like asteroid or meteor or whatever. Okay. And then we were told. Hold on, hold on. Why Australia? Because we're far away from it. Okay, good. And then you got told.
Starting point is 01:45:18 Good reason. Like on the news, they were like, the impact wave will reach, you know, the East Coast of the United States in one hour. And so we're sitting here like you can see the glow in the sky and we're like in one hour this devastating wave will just like we're dead you have one hour wouldn't that be crazy
Starting point is 01:45:33 that would be nuts what would you do I would probably find Nish and spend that hour with her yeah of course find your loved ones I'd give everybody a hug. And call our family. Meh.
Starting point is 01:45:47 You know. Hugs. Yeah. The way I always see it is like, when you're dead, you're not going to care. Right. So. All right. But let's read it.
Starting point is 01:45:55 Let's see. Check out this photograph. I love this. What is this? What on earth? An extreme solar minimum is thought to have contributed to the so-called Little Ice Age in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. When the temperatures fell so low, the River Thames
Starting point is 01:46:06 froze over. Yeah, and it snowed in July. What is this picture? That is not what happened in the 17th and 18th century. For those that are just listening, it is like Big Ben covered in ice, frozen up to the clock, and there's like
Starting point is 01:46:21 some kind of tanker, like boat, ship, just in the snow. Yeah, somehow up halfway through the distance of Big Ben, too. It's because the water level rose, I guess, and so they're... It's beautiful, but that has never happened. Alright, but check it out. There's some cool stuff.
Starting point is 01:46:38 She writes, perhaps they're haunted by the extreme solar minimum, thought to have contributed to the so-called Little Ice Age in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. When the temperature temperature fell so low the river thames froze over crops failed lightning storms lit up the skies and in 1816 the weather was so crazy that it snowed in july as we all know the sun which is 4.5 billion years old and more than a million times bigger than the earth is not only a source of cheer when it finally pops out from behind the clouds it it also keeps us alive, which means that the teeniest change in its activity levels can have extraordinary consequences triggering lightning storms, the appearance or disappearance of the
Starting point is 01:47:13 northern lights and those amazing sprites. But the sun's activity is changing constantly as it passes through its regular cycle from solar maximum, hottest and most active to solar minimum, quiet and cooler. Since the 17th century, scientists have been measuring the depth of a solar minimum by counting the sunspots, areas of magnetic activity on the solar surface, which show up as relatively dark spots and solar flares, large explosions that hurl charged particles into space. The general rule is the fewer the sunspots, the more severe the minimum and the higher chances of lightning storm sprites and disruption of Earth.
Starting point is 01:47:49 So far this year, the sun has been blank with no sunspots 76% of the time. A figure passed just once since the 50s last year when it was 77% blank. So could we be heading for a grand solar minimum based a sustained period decades even centuries or particularly weak solar cycle are we now on top of everything else facing another mini ice age so what do you think uh huh interesting so so we could actually be all this climate change the climate that we've been saving our lives yeah we've been messing it up preparing for the temperature
Starting point is 01:48:27 to be lower but we've been raising it so it's actually just gonna be normal it's just gonna be normal for a while they knew it was coming
Starting point is 01:48:34 they planned it they were like man look at all this global warming I know what we need to do we need to burn off a bunch of CO2 warm up the planet
Starting point is 01:48:40 that way we don't have a mini ice age yeah there you go it reminds me of Futurama why is it always this show I don't have a mini ice age. Yeah, there you go. It reminds me of Futurama. Why is it always this show? I don't know. Because it's a genius show. Because it's sci-fi.
Starting point is 01:48:50 True. And because we talk a lot about sci-fi stuff. To combat global warming, they just went to a comet and took a big piece of ice and dropped it into the earth. Because it cooled it down. And then they need a bigger and bigger ice block every single time they do it.
Starting point is 01:49:05 And so the final solution is all the robots aim their exhaust, their butts, to the sky and then exhaust and it pushes the Earth a few meters away, creating an extra week or something, but also cooling the Earth down. That's how they solve the problem. That's awesome.
Starting point is 01:49:22 So what's going to happen, right? They say 200 years ago, we were deep in the midst of the Dalton Minimum, which occurred between 1790 and 1830 and was marked by periods of brutal cold. Temperatures fell by 2 degrees Celsius over 20 years, which may not sound
Starting point is 01:49:37 much, but had the effect of devastating the world's food production and causing widespread famine. So we're about to add this on top of this pandemic. That's interesting, though, because aren't we at the point of about one to two degrees higher than average? I have no idea. So what I just said as a joke could potentially actually be the truth. But we didn't do it on purpose.
Starting point is 01:49:59 No, I know that. We did it on accident. Not on accident. We were like in the Industrial Revolution. It just kind of happened as we developed. What you're saying is that humans collectively slipped on a banana peel but pulled off a perfect backflip. And landed on like a throne. Indeed.
Starting point is 01:50:15 Like, oh, I meant to do that. Yeah, I sure did. Yeah, but what happens after the 10 years? Yeah. Well, then it's going to spike back up to really hot temperatures. Yeah. Unless the solar activity – Continues. Well, we're's going to spike back up to really hot temperatures. Yeah. Unless the solar activity, well, we're not at maximum. In 40 years of solar minimum.
Starting point is 01:50:31 They also had, they said the misery was exacerbated by powerful volcanic eruptions. Wow. The second largest volcanic eruption in 2,000 years happened on Mount Tembora in Indonesia, killing more than 71,000 people. Wow. And plunging the temperature still lower as giant ash clouds blocked the solar rays.
Starting point is 01:50:49 Yeah, it was a hot mess. Wow. How come nothing fun like that happens? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Does that really sound fun? Tim, don't you jinx us, man. What the heck? Fun is the wrong word. Thank you. I'm gonna see all the outrage, like, people died, Tim. Please change your tone. What I mean is, not fun, but like, see all the outrage like people died. Please change your tone.
Starting point is 01:51:07 Not fun, but like consequential. Like a pandemic. Right. Okay. Yeah, kind of. But this is not even nearly as bad. This pandemic is like just another. I don't want to call it the flu, but it's like a new thing that is just basically like a flu going through the human race. No, it is worse.
Starting point is 01:51:21 I know it is worse. Weird symptoms. Sure. But that still is what's happening, though. I'm just saying like the Spanish flu through the human race. I know it is worse. But that still is what's happening though. I'm just saying like the Spanish flu killed millions. COVID's probably not going to get that bad. We're taking care of it, but it's really just
Starting point is 01:51:34 people hanging out at their homes. A lot of people have lost their jobs and they're getting really, really angry about it. So the economic crisis is actually much worse. I should say has the potential to be substantially worse than COVID is. But I just mean, like, alien invasion, Great War, massive volcanic eruptions spewing ash into the sky for hundreds of miles or thousands of miles. That would mess us up.
Starting point is 01:52:00 Yeah, like, nothing seems to happen. It's like we're in this boring period. It's a golden age. It really is. Dude, you're going to wake up tomorrow, and Yellowstone's going to be blowing up. And we're going to be like, oh. There will be no sunlight. Time to start.
Starting point is 01:52:11 No more sun. So we're going to dig. In all of America. We're going to dig straight down in the basement. And we're going to grow mushrooms in the dark. That's right. Glow in the dark mushrooms. Mole people.
Starting point is 01:52:19 I have a plan. Yep. Mole people, mushrooms in the dark. Or we could just keep digging and see if the lizard people will take us in. That'd be good too. If we get deep enough. We'll go to Colorado. Where is it at? Denver Airport. Yeah, that'd be fun. We should do it.
Starting point is 01:52:33 Someone said we can't wait to see what's after the murder hornets. You know what though man? They always tell us these crazy things are happening and they're always just, it's not that bad. No, it's not. I remember growing up when I was little and they were like, you know, killer bees were coming.
Starting point is 01:52:46 Yeah. I never saw anything. I never, actually I did see killer bees once, but bees aren't that bad. It was kind of scary. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:53 What was it? It was like a dark cloud of bees. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Are they just regular bees? I saw them in the sky and they were kind of like passing me, but I heard them and it was right around that time. They were like,
Starting point is 01:53:04 watch out for killer bees. And I was like, oh, wow. In Chicago? That's them. No, I was in where was I? St. Louis, maybe? Africanized bees? I don't remember. Just your regular old wasps and hornets. Everybody thinks yellow jackets
Starting point is 01:53:20 are bees, too. I'm offended by that. That's not true. Bees are cool, man. When I lived in L.A., you could walk Jackets are bees, too. I'm offended by that. That's not true. Those things chase you down. Bees are cool, man. Bees are cool. Bees chill. Bees are super chill. When I lived in LA, you could walk past any bush, and there's just swarms of bees. You walk right past it, and they don't bother you at all. They don't care.
Starting point is 01:53:34 Bumbling around. Yellow jackets. They're like, whoa, you offend me with your attitude. They're like, I'm looking for something to eat. Ooh, here's a person. I will chase after them. I'm going to chase after this thing. And I'm going to sting them.
Starting point is 01:53:44 You want to hear a crazy story, man? Yes. Absolutely. When I was in grade school, we were in church. Okay. And I was sitting in a pew and in front of me, there was this girl and she had like her hair in a bun or whatever. And I watched a yellow jacket land on her bun. Oh, man. But I wasn't really paying attention. So it landed and then like we were singing or something. Yeah. And then it crawled into her shirt, and I noticed, and I was like, hey, hey, there's a bee. And then by the time she noticed, the wasp freaked out. Yeah. Because it was stuck then.
Starting point is 01:54:15 And it stung her 16 times or something. Oh, no. It was a wasp. It just started going. Yeah, they don't die when. And she was like. Yeah, that's the worst. What are you supposed to do?
Starting point is 01:54:22 That's awful. Yeah, man. I saw it. There's this guy on YouTube. I don't know his name, but he does this with all these different venomous things. He brings them to his arm and lets them sting him. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:34 He did that with the murder hornet, and he was on the ground rolling around, dude. And then it buffed up to this huge mound. I was like, whoa, this is crazy looking. How did he rate it on the scale? He said it was worse than anything else. No way. Yeah, he kept saying this one, I don't remember what it was, but it was the previous worst thing. He was like, it's so much worse.
Starting point is 01:54:57 There's like an ant. It's like a big ant or something, right? And it just bites. Red ants. Red ants? No, no, there's like a big ant. It jumps. What?

Starting point is 01:55:36 I've never been there. I really want to go. I've been to New Zealand. New Zealand is like. So Australia and New Zealand have endemic species. Okay. But New Zealand's endemic species, as far as I can tell, are like the kiwi dude i think i'm mutilated by cats oh man when they brought when all the little bird yeah they're like they're like the ball shaped birds with

Yeah, so like everybody knows everybody. It's like, you know, I guess. It's, you know, not literally, but much more than here. But you compare New Zealand's animals to Australia's animals and it's like, is like australia is like four or five times the size though or maybe even

Starting point is 02:12:45 Taking more, taking spite of this And focus on the ways I really wished you'd change that day It's hard to believe that you mean nothing to me Cause you used to be everything There are words in a book About what we've been through And there are lines in the scripts.

I can't walk away. You guys are Super Chatting. I gotta bring it out. That was really great of you guys. Let's see. Jossip says,
Starting point is 02:46:03 this is making me want to learn guitar. What's a good guitar to buy for less than 500 bucks? Ideally less than 300, but I want it to sound good. Start with an electric or an acoustic? That's a great question. And actually, you can find a really good guitar for over 100 bucks. Don't go under $100. And if you can spend up to $300, go to Guitar Center when you can go to Guitar Center or Sam Ash or a small town guitar store. Maybe that's even better. You know, because if you can find an older, like an old Martin for $200, $300, they're really good guitars. So don't go cheap. My favorite guitar, I think it was $180.
Starting point is 02:46:44 It was a Fender. She's huge. I call her Rhonda. She's my baby. I actually miss her. I don't have her here. But I love it. She's an amazing guitar.
Starting point is 02:46:55 And as far as your start with an electric versus an acoustic, that's a tough question. It's much easier to learn on an electric guitar. Hands down, it's much easier. Acoustic, you need to build up calluses on your fingers, and that takes a while. It's easier to play acoustic because that's all you need. Electric, you need electricity and an amp. You don't need it.
Starting point is 02:47:15 You can still learn how to play guitar on just the electric, but it definitely is nicer with an amp. But just try them out. Just go play them all. The same thing that i tell anyone who asked me about what kind of skateboard to get you just just go find the one that speaks to you that you're like this sounds really nice i like the sound of this guitar it's easy to play my fingers aren't hurting i mean your fingers will hurt if you don't know how to play guitar
Starting point is 02:47:39 there's gonna come a point when you're like oh my fingers and that's just i mean i don't know if you can see now you can you can't see. I have calluses. Now I've just been playing a little bit, so they're starting to show, but they're always there. I've been playing guitar for almost 20 years, so it's kind of, it's in there. So, yeah. Thanks for the super chat. Alex says, Final Fantasy
Starting point is 02:47:57 7 Remake pull-up challenge is the devil. It's true. I took a little while to get them, and it's worth it it's fun it's all about uh maintaining consistent speed that's what it is you you can go really fast but then you you got to keep it consistent and not try to go too fast uh thomas stein says when are y'all gonna break out the hardcore punk classics actually adam should learn some NSP songs. Maybe I should. I definitely need to branch out
Starting point is 02:48:27 some of my cover music. It's been a while since I've learned some new songs. Actually, the most recent was Country Roads that I learned for you guys, but I can't play. Let's see. Vidya Bros says, any chance of you guys playing any Foo Fighters next time or Dropkick Murphys? Oh, Dropkick Murphys.
Starting point is 02:48:43 The chance of us playing covers is really small. This makes me sad now. I don't know if we're going to risk it. We have a lot. He said he's got 300 songs. This dude has so many songs. I do have a good chunk of music myself, but man, Tim's got a lot of music.
Starting point is 02:49:01 MB says, Nice playing, Tim.
