Welcome to the show everybody. This is the TimCast IRL podcast. I am Tim Poole. Tonight I am hanging out with the same people I hang out with every night. It's true. What's going on everybody? It's Adam Krigler here. Thanks for joining us. And Lydia, producer Lydia with my Alkaline Trio t-shirt. Alkaline Trio. Local Chicago music. No, they're huge. They're national. Oh man, Alex Jones. He came out and he said, Joe Rogan is going to war over censorship. And he talked a lot about Joe calling him. There's a lot to talk about here because I'm sitting here.

We were originally going to talk about something else, something totally different. We were going to talk about contact tracing. We are. And then I saw this article, and it's obviously not being covered by the mainstream media. It's being covered by a bunch of small independent blogs, conspiracy sites and stuff like that. Well, they don't want to spread it around. Well, it's also Alex Jones. Right.

And there's a lot to question. And so when I heard him saying that, you know, Joe Rogan called him and told him this stuff, I'm like, I don't know about that. I got to do something real quick. What do we get? I believe you're actually looking at a text from Joe right now. Is that what you're doing? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

I'm trying to get confirmation. Hey, man. Yeah, we want confirmation. We want to talk about it. Confirmation. And it's a last minute thing. So we just changed the title. It was like we're going to talk about contact tracing.

Well, I mean, people want to know that you're getting it from the source. But the problem is, when I'm talking with someone, be it Adam Krigler, Luke Rutkowski, Joe Rogan. Well, listen. I have to make sure. You tell him, my bad. I don't violate privacy. I don't know what I'm allowed to talk about. I don't know what's on the record, what's not.

So I can't talk about, unless they say to me like, hey, this is what's what, you're cool. And so I'm trying to figure things out. Yeah. I have not figured anything out. But Alex Jones did say that Joe Rogan called him and said some things. cool and so i'm trying to figure things out yeah i have not figured anything out but alex jones did say that joe rogan called him and said some things and so as soon as i heard that i was like i don't know if i believe that yeah like i gotta i gotta text some people see what's going on but i have not gotten any confirmation but i did have kind of like a light bulb moment about what joe is doing

with spotify yeah and how it's going to revolutionize. And whether or not Joe's really going to war, what Alex Jones says, this might save the internet. I hope so. I mean it. Yeah. I was sitting here and I'm like, we're going to talk about contact tracing and people getting their phones together. And I was like, whoa, wait a minute.

No. So we're going to talk about it. Everybody calm down. If you're just tuning in, hit that like button. Just smash it. Give us all those likes. Because at the end of the year, Joe will be leaving YouTube. And so we, among with all of the other video podcasts, are going to be in a battle royale,

like Hunger Games style. So we're going to win. We're going to claim. No, I'm just kidding. But someone will eventually become the top YouTube show. But anyway, hit the like button if you want to. You can jump in the super chat if you would like to ask questions. However, I must remind everybody when we get to, you know, we've been averaging maybe like 10 or 12 in one night, even

like 15, 16,000 people. I love all you guys really appreciate all the super chats. It literally does become impossible to actually read everything. So we try to, you know, just, just work for a couple hours because most of you realize I work through the mornings and then this is the second show. It's two hours. So it's tough. I can't, you know, I'd love to stay here for five hours all night, read literally everyone, but it's hard to do. So get your super chats if you'd like. We usually go through the ones from the earliest in the night and then it gets harder to read the ones from later on. We've got a couple of stories though. So we're definitely be talking about contact tracing because Apple just

did this big iOS update and there's a viral image going around saying it's the new API for the contact tracing apps. And this has people freaking out because contact tracing basically means the general idea with your phone is that if I walk up to you, our phones like

tag each other. Okay. And then they can see who everyone talked to and you know or like who made kind of with who else they'll know where you went and it's it's like an extreme level of spying it did just ask me if i needed to update and i said no i bet it's in there i bet i didn't update it now i don't want to because you have iphone i do yeah that's it no no pull it up pull it up no i i. No, pull up the description of what it is. Oh, okay. And we can read what it says.

Let's see. So that's a big deal. And I think this initial update isn't what you need to be worried about. It's what comes next. And we'll talk about that too. And then maybe we'll talk about aliens. Because we've been talking about how we want to talk about aliens. Yeah, but it might make me update it to see.

No, no, no. It says before you update it, like, it shows you what it is. And then you click install. Okay, let me check. I mean, what are you going to do? You're going to avoid the update and just, like, never do It says before you update it, like it shows you what it is and then you click install. Okay, let me check. I mean, what are you going to do? You're going to avoid the update and just like never do it? Yes. Yep.

I'm dead serious. Is there something feedbacking about you? I don't mind. A power cable or something? Yeah, I hear that too, yeah. It's annoying when that happens. Like you get one, one of the cables gets too close to another cable and then. So the first thing you've got to do is the gossip, man.

The censorship gossip is huge. We've got to talk about this. I'm reading the update right now. You know what? I'll do it. I'll get it ready for when we talk about the next one. So we'll talk about the update, but here's what we're going to do now. Let's talk about this Madhouse News.

I have no idea what this website is, but that's okay. Oh, it's actually being reviewed by NewsGuard. Look at this. NewsGuard's in the process of reviewing Madhouse News. Oh, Madhouse News. Interesting. I mean, I haven't read it. Let's read it.

I Google searched, you know, Alex Jones, Joe Rogan. Nothing comes up. This is what I was able to find through. It was on r slash conspiracy on Reddit. This is the article they posted. And I watched some of the video from Rogan. He said some interesting things. And if this is true, there might be a really big...

Joe Rogan may be about to use his weight. Maybe it's inadvertent, but it might really break censorship. Joe Rogan, you're the hero we all need. Yeah. Well, let's check. We'll see. Here's the story, right? So again, I don't know what Madhouse News is,

but they say Joe Rogan says he is going to war against Google and big tech. Full stop. No, Joe rogan didn't say that alex jones said that joe called him and said this right so that is not confirmed if you trust alex jones i guess um personally and i mean this with all due respect i don't you know i'm not trying to drag the guy i'm just saying i want to hear it straight from joe before just believe what Alex Jones is saying. Alex Jones exclusively revealed Thursday that Joe Rogan signed an exclusivity contract for his podcast with Spotify as a way of striking back against YouTube censorship. Jones, who has been friends with Rogan for 22 years, spoke at length with the podcast King, with Rogan telling him that he should announce to the world that the move is a direct strike against Google, that the, quote, gloves are off and he is going to war against big tech tyranny.

Jones told his audience that Rogan had encouraged him to go on air and put it all out there. The deal suggested to be worth 100 million. Full stop, Yashir Ali. He's a Huffington Post contributor, very well known, high profile journalist, said 200 million. That's an update. I don't know if that's true. The deal would be worth $100 million was announced earlier this week. Analysts are saying that it will change the face of media forever. I agree. Jones, who has appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience numerous times, also announced that Rogan had specifically requested in his contract with Spotify that the InfoWars host will be allowed to appear uncensored on the podcast on Spotify.

Jones said Rogan wants him as the first guest on the show when it arrives on Spotify on the 1st of September, followed by Elon Musk, who is also currently speaking out against big tech censorship and cancel culture. The last time Jones appeared on his podcast, it was the most listened to podcast of 2019 with over 17 million views on YouTube. Google was subsequently caught shadow banning the episode in an attempt to stop its popularity. And what is this? Is it? I don't know about that.

Let's see what they have to say on this one. Oh, this is a link to Infowars. They said Infowars says Google got caught shadow banning Joe Rogan's number one podcast. We'll come back to that. They say Jones said Rogan told him he's sick of being treated poorly by Google. And the straw that broke the camel's back was that Rogan wanted to interview doctors and experts who have differing opinions on the coronavirus to the officially sanctioned narrative and was told by YouTube that they would not allow such content on their platform. I don't know if Joe actually said that, but I can tell you there was a former

advisor to the World Health Organization. This is going viral on Twitter. I don't know if I actually have the tweets pulled up, but apparently World Health Organization advisor gave an interview. YouTube pulled it. Wow. Yup. Creepy stuff. They say Rogan also told Jones the lockdown has provided him with more clarity in the

situation. Rogan has noted on his podcast that YouTube is consistently demonetizing his content and removing videos. He told Jones that he sees it not only as un-American, but also anti-human. And excited Jones described, I think maybe decried. Well, it could be decried. Decreed? Decreed?

I don't know. He said the move by Rogan was peak internet. I don't know what they're trying to say, whether it was positive or negative, unless described is a word I'm not familiar with. Rogan's podcast was downloaded 190 million times per month last year. His YouTube channel has 8.42 million subs, and the move away is sure to be a huge strike against big tech thought control. Note to readers, yeah, yeah, whatever. So this links to the Inf the info war story i don't know what their evidence that this was being shadow banned is let's see what they say the video wasn't appearing

alex jones returns and then you can see it's not here alex jones believed the video's disappearance could be tied to real-time manipulation of the platform's algorithms especially as his interview with rogan has recently begun appearing as the top search result for the search term alex jones on youtube i actually believe that's possible because they did it to me just the other day. So I did a video on the lockdown and it did not appear. So for those that don't know the context, lockdown is happening across the country. In Virginia, people flooded to the beaches. I did a video and I said, the people have spoken. They're ignoring these orders. And the video did not appear on my channel. So I raised a huge stink on Twitter. And then people are sharing the video did not appear on my channel. So I raised a huge stink on Twitter

and then people are sharing the video and the video started to pick up views through direct shares. Now the video actually appears in the channel. So I think, I don't know what their strategy is. I don't play that. If any of my videos get shadow banned or censored, I go full on every other platform, share it, share it, share it. And I ask everybody to share it. And it's only with your guys' help who do share it that we actually break that attempt at censoring the video. So YouTube, I think, let me tell you a quick story. And then we're going to talk about if this is true and if what we're already hearing about Rogan, if he does bring on Alex Jones, it's going to break the internet. And I mean, seriously. But let me first tell you a quick story. Or save the internet.

No, I mean, break it. And isn't like the current structure of power is going to be shattered. Okay. It's going to be great. Basically the same. Yeah. It's going to be really, really good. Really good.

Let me tell you a quick story. A lot of these companies know they can't take instant direct action. They can't just ban me. They can't just ban Alex Jones. They can't just ban Joe Rogan. Alex just ban Alex Jones. They can't just ban Joe Rogan. Alex Jones was like over a long period of time. And it wasn't until like one site pulled him that the other has used that as a cover to try and get rid of him immediately. And it did start a huge backlash. So these companies know that to purge channels, you got to do it slowly

one at a time. So you don't create a big wave that hits the press okay that's why we've been seeing people banned on youtube they'll get banned and it'll be like one channel and then everyone's like oh what's this all about but this is one channel it's you know one guy and then the next week it's another channel yeah and then another channel how long ago was alex banned when when a couple years ago maybe a couple years now do you know when it was banned i'm not sure i can look it up though let me check trying to figure out where that buzz yeah oh there we go okay there it is i got it so um in order to actually make these changes they do it slowly and they and they learn this early on it's really funny actually took facebook a long time the famous story is that ebay the website used to be yellow okay one day they changed it to white

and everyone complained i remember this so they changed it slowly changed the color right every day they did one increment towards white and then a year later nobody knew it changed yeah so we saw that with facebook too funny when they do these instant rollovers everyone complains same thing just happened with youtube when they switched to the new studio everybody's complaining i was complaining it was bad it was bad they fixed a lot of the problems so i'm happy with it but here's's what I think. You know, with YouTube, they are absolutely purging a lot of people. Yeah. But Joe Rogan's too big. He's the biggest podcast in the world.

So we asked Alex Jones, what are they going to do about it? And everybody screamed, you can't do this. He's violating the rules. And then I think it was, was it Logan Paul who had him on? I don't know. I don't remember. I don't know who the Paul brothers are. I can't tell. I don't know who they are. But one of them had them on I don't know I don't remember I don't know who the Paul brothers are like I can't tell I don't know who they are so but one of them had them on their podcast what Alex Jones

is saying if Alex Jones really is guaranteed to be the first guest for Joe Rogan on September 1st Joe Rogan will force YouTube to not censor the podcast and effectively not censor anything at all after that. It will be, it will, it will be like, but how does that work though? He's going to be on Spotify, not YouTube doing his podcast when he, when he launches on Spotify, it will be still on YouTube and iTunes. So it'd be live on YouTube as well. Yep. Oh, okay. And so you know what that means? Not live. He doesn't do them live. No, no, no. It'd be like published. Okay. He's not doing a like published okay he's not doing the lives from any of it right right right here's my here's my general understanding i haven't gotten any confirmation or anything i'd like to but if so joe has said september 1st it's going to be on spotify yeah and then later in the year it'll become exclusive

on spotify right right that means there's this there's this period of a few months where, if it's true what Jones is saying, that Joe wants to interview doctors, but YouTube says they'll ban him. What's going to happen then on September 3rd, after Elon Musk comes on the show, and Joe Rogan has on this World Health Organization doctor who recently got banned, and YouTube says, we're going to ban you. And Joe goes, do it. I'm on Spotify. Yeah, I don't care. And then everyone else is going to laugh at YouTube.

Right. They're going to be like, do it, YouTube, ban him. Because he's on Spotify. Well, I'll go there, no problem. Yep. And that's, everybody's saying that. Actually, people are coming to me saying, Tim Poole and your show, meaning this show here,

and Joe Rogan are the only reasons they're still on YouTube. That's it. They're like, if Tim gets banned and Joe gets – he's leaving already, there's no reason for me to go to YouTube anymore. It's not the same as it used to be. I think this is why YouTube likes me. There are people who watch – who used to watch a lot of these, I don't know, describe some of these channels, more right wing channels that eventually been, you know, banned and demonetized.

Okay. And there's an overlap with, I think it's more libertarian, to be honest. Okay. There's a lot, because YouTube originally was very much the libertarian community, not conservative. Conservative is a relatively new thing. We've been watching the spike in conservative channels. But there, there's an

overlap for the culture war right with content like mine you know anti-sjw free speech all that kind of stuff right so even though i'm a you know of liberal sensibilities in terms of policy that is completely irrelevant to the political conversation today no one cares left and right doesn't mean it anymore so youtube says we're going gonna ban all these people but then we're gonna lose all these users who do we have they'll stick around to watch well they'll watch tim pool you know yeah they're like great that way we don't lose the users but we can get rid of people you know these other people oh they're gonna lose lose a lot of users i think without with with joe rogan moving i think so yeah definitely but i do think think Joe will lose a lot of viewers too I do but here here here's here's just the the the sledgehammer to the dam man go ahead September

1st Joe Rogan has on Alex Jones I don't know if that's actually actually true I'm just I'm saying that's what Alex Jones is claiming yeah YouTube is going to be put in a very very tough position we are going to lose the pod like the the, the, the, the king of podcast, unless we allow this content to exist on the platform. We're already, Hey, Hey, YouTube might say, you know what? We're losing them anyway. Ban them. Yeah. Don't care. And they might hold their ground because Joe said he's leaving. I think that's most likely. I don't think so. No, no way. The bad press would be, press would be nuts. The press would be insane. That's true.

It is the biggest podcast. And then think about the statement that would come out of Spotify. They would love it. Spotify. Oh, man. Spotify would be like... That would be their new commercial. Yup. Joe Rogan absolutely made the correct move in joining the Spotify family.

We will absolutely protect his right to speech and stuff. And I'm sure Spotify has some kind of like protections for really, really fringe characters. But here's what it's all about, man. On Hulu, because we talked about this the other day when we were talking about Joe doing the Spotify deal. I can watch Solar Opposites from Justin Roiland where they cuss and swear all night and it is very adult. And Hulu's got no problem with it. It's YouTube that is doing the weird censorship of like World Health Organization advisors. Yeah.

And real doctors. So yeah, maybe it is a right move to get off this platform. Because Joe's spoken about the censorship on his show being bad. I'm pretty sure. I mean, actually, I'm pretty sure we talked about it. Yeah. So Alex Jones is the first person. If that's true, I mean, it's going to be huge huge that's a bold statement yeah elon musk being

second i'm like i don't know that's not an issue it's that if in this time period where he's doing the show he starts bringing on guests and youtube then is forced to ban him it's spotify is going to be so happy yep especially with uh all the other people that they've been slowly, slowly. Well, yeah, I'm talking about YouTube, though. They're banning people. They're getting stricter. People are getting fed up with YouTube. They're like, what is going on here?

So if this works for Rogan, it's like Spotify is going to be like, come on. Come join our family. Come on. And they're just going to explode. I really, really doubt this, but I feel like deep down there may be someone involved in this that understands this gap period where Joe will simultaneously be gearing up to go exclusive on Spotify, but still be on iTunes and YouTube will be an excellent marketing opportunity for Spotify. Think about it this way. When you look at the comments on like the Joe Rogan subreddit and on the YouTube videos about his move, there's a lot of people saying, I won't move.

I'm not going to go to Spotify. There are people saying, RIP comment section. People saying, Joe sold out, stuff like that. So think about what Spotify— Sold out? That's ridiculous. Yeah. What does that even mean? Like he has any allegiance to YouTube?

Right. He puts it out there. It's a free show. You're like, what? And isn't Right. It's a free. He puts it out there. It's a free show. Like what? And isn't Spotify, there's a free version too? I mean, I don't. It'll be free with ads. Right, right. Okay.

So look at it this way. Spotify knows they're not going to be able to convert most of his YouTube followers. Right. Okay. They're hoping that his core fan base bringing the show will bring these people there and eventually. I'm sure out of the 8 million people, 4 million, maybe 5 million. A lot of people.

Going over. Or already have Spotify. I'm sure that Joe's probably got a million, million unique individuals who are guaranteed to watch the show every day or listen to the show every day. Yeah, probably. And then it's the numbers above that. So that's split between his podcast, which gets you know i don't i don't know how much his podcast gets but you know out of the two or you know three million per per uh episode he gets 100 our core fans who are always coming back that's that's maybe a

high estimate i'm thinking but think from from spotify's perspective they need a catalyst to where the youtube people jump to spot. So how do you do it? Antagonize YouTube. Yep. So in this month of September. That's his plan. Joe can be like, I can have on anybody I want because I signed this deal with Spotify. So he brings on doctors and then YouTube.

If YouTube does say episode three, September 3rd or whatever the date is. I don't know if the third was even a, what date it is. Let's say Joe brings on this guy from the World Health Organization who got banned or those two doctors in SoCal who got banned. Let's say Joe brings on this guy from the World Health Organization who got banned or those two doctors in SoCal who got banned. Let's say he brings them on.

That's what I want to see. YouTube then says we're banning this podcast. And then Spotify has a statement. The podcast is readily available for anybody who'd like to hear it on our platform free of charge. It's unfortunate that YouTube would engage in censorship. And then that says to all the people on youtube who are in the middle of watching and we got cut off yeah come to spotify baby well that's why i did not cut it

off it does make sense that it's basically going to war against the big big companies i think although spotify i mean it is pretty big company you know but i guess it's it's not youtube not youtube big i mean have you seen uh um what's that what's that what was that movie called uh cobra kai no i haven't on youtube no i haven't seen it it was really funny show was amazing i didn't watch the second season i watched the first season okay i heard it was good though youtube original and for those that aren't familiar it basically is a sequel to the karate kid where it's basically making the main character from karate kid the bad guy so so actually this is hilarious there was a viral video that argued the the main character from Karate Kid the bad guy. So actually, this is hilarious. There was a viral video that argued the main character from Karate Kid was the bad guy.

Yeah, all the time. Yeah. And that this dude was just like minding his own business. And this kid kept, you know, messing with him, trying to steal his girlfriend. And so they do this new show where he's basically like an old, you know, like deadbeat. No, he's like a deadbeat. And then he becomes better. Right, right, right.

The show was edgy and offensive. And so a lot of us on YouTube, we were laughing. It's funny. YouTube will make a show that breaks their rules, and we can't do the same thing. How about that? Yeah. That's how broken YouTube is as a business. What's true for these, but not me.

And I don't know what it is. I do think things are getting better on YouTube. I think so. I've noticed a lot of changes. Apparently, we got messaged the other night. People were saying that the TimCast IRL podcast got verified by YouTube, which means we got a little checkmark. Oh, we're verified, people. That's right.

We're verified. I don't know when that happened because it's a new channel. I don't know when that happened, but apparently YouTube did this. And I have to wonder if this move that Joe is doing, it's all speculation whether or not he really does this anti-censorship salvo. But he is leaving. He should totally do it, dude. But he is leaving, though. He is leaving.

That's for sure. And so why wouldn't he? Why wouldn't he? You're right. Joe, I'm pretty sure, it's hard for me to say definitively because i've listened to a ton of his podcasts but i'm pretty sure he was talking about the doctors getting banned and all that stuff yeah so assuming that's all true i'd imagine he would want to have on can uh you know those doctors or just a different opinion you're right about what what

should we be you know what we should be doing why would youtube have it as policy to ban a doctor yeah as prestigious as this guy, I forgot his name, but I think his name was K-N-U-T. Do you know it? Can you look that up? Yeah, it was some Swedish guy, right? Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. So why would YouTube ban that? Why would YouTube shadow ban my video? I'm like, these things are happening. I'm not making them up. The news, CBS reported this. Why would you ban me from talking about it? In fact, you got CBS on your platform talking about it.

So I wonder, I wonder if YouTube only started doing this because they were scared of the press and the negative press they were getting. So something else might happen. YouTube may be doing this out of fear because the advertisers react to the bad press from the activists and press. Probably. So when Joe Rogan goes on Spotify and Spotify has a guaranteed contract and won't take the podcast down, YouTube might say to the press when the press complains, it's on Spotify. What do you mad at us for? It's an exclusive deal with Spotify. But you're hosting it, but Spotify is hosting it and promoting it. Yeah.

And then that's the defense YouTube might have. Hey, don't look at us. We're not the one who signed the exclusive deal and how he's doing it. So that might actually pressure YouTube into going back towards supporting more free speech. I sure hope so. Yeah. It reminds me of this tweet that I have got it pulled up here. I can't show you guys.

It's on my computer. But it's basically comparing the immune system to our mental... Drop it in the document. I'll pull it up. All right. Let's see. And then we'll keep explaining it. Well, I mean, it's just a a simple sentence it's just basically our immune systems need to

to handle different viruses and diseases to get stronger same with our intellectual defenses like we need to be exposed to good ideas and bad ideas to know what a good idea is and what a bad idea is it's kind of like the same thing so if they're only getting rid of all these things that they consider bad and all this is good but we're going to keep all of this it's just pushing people to the i don't want to say stupid people but like people i mean it feels like everyone's fed up with this anyway but there's a lot of people out there that are only going to believe what they see on youtube what's still allowed to be there you know you, what they don't understand is that the reason people are really into, say,

Plandemic and the reason why people are torching 5G towers is because, partly, of their censorship. Because, are you familiar with the Gallman amnesia effect? I think I've told you about it before. Sounds familiar. Enlighten us. Yes. It's a fake name that was made by some guy because it was a joke about sounding, you know, like legit. Okay.

The idea is that if you're an expert skateboarder, you open up a magazine or a newspaper or you open a news article and it says the skateboarder did a whirlybird down a flubel. And you're like, those aren't things. What is this? This is nonsense. Yeah. Because you're an expert, you can clearly see the nonsense. And you say, this is fake news. Yes. Okay. But then you turn the page and it's a story about Syria.

And they say, you know, Syrian dictator bombed kids. And you go, wow, I didn't know that. You've immediately forgotten that this paper is publishing fake news because you trust the other stuff you're not an expert in. Right. Yeah. That makes sense. But I do appreciate you saying expert skateboard and pointing to me yes i appreciate that yes so so i bring i bring that up for a

specific reason when people see the new york times lie defend joe biden yeah you know any any sane rational person who reads the news saw the new york times repeatedly defend the christine bozzie ford who accused bre Brett Kavanaugh. Yeah. And then when this accuser came out against Joe Biden, defended Joe Biden. The double standard was palpable. Yeah. So now that they don't trust the mainstream media, they turn to independent commentary and then YouTube shuts it down.

What's the first thing they think? The establishment is protecting itself. This must be true. Otherwise, they wouldn't hide it from us. Exactly. Yeah. And that's not the case. But, you know, well, not necessarily could be true, but wouldn't hide it from us exactly yeah and that's not the case but it you

know well not necessarily could be true but i mean i mean not guaranteed they're not censoring it because it's true right and they're scared of you learning the truth they're censoring it because it is the mainstream narrative that's safe for their advertisers right all right so when they when they banned what i don't know if they yeah when amazon like banned the sale of masks or something they like removed masks then like the uh fauci said don't wear a mask masks are bad yeah i can't tell you how many messages i got from people saying dude get your masks quick yeah and i'm like they're doing the opposite of what they're advised to do and it's funny because now they're saying get your masks or else or else we'll arrest you it's the stupidest thing man you get out of the store without a mask get out yeah there's a funny there's a funny viral tweet where it's like the

evolution of masks it's like masks don't work if you wear them you're killing you know you're killing your grandmother then it said like don't buy masks the doctors and nurses need them then it was like masks don't really matter then consider buying a mask everyone must wear a mask if they go into a private business yeah if you don't wear a mask outside you'll be arrested. It's like what? It's been quite the wild ride. Can you make up your mind please?

Seriously yes. Make up your mind. So people naturally don't believe it. And then they go on YouTube where they can see someone like me and then they see

someone like me get shadow banned and censored. So it'll be interesting. I wonder how much Alexlex jones is making up right not in the sense of like details but showmanship well he he is a showman here's what i imagine yeah here's what i imagine i imagine joe signs this deal yeah and then he's thinking look the alex jones podcast with 17 million views so he calls up his you know his

buddy alex and says hey what's up, buddy, man? I want to have you on the show, man. It did really, really well last time you were on. I'd love to have you on. And then Alex is like, oh, that sounds fantastic. I'd love to be on it. It's going to be okay. And then Joe says something to the effect of, I cleared it with the Spotify contract.

I can have on whatever guest I want. Alex hears, I cleared it that I can have you on. You know what I mean? So Joe may have said, you're all good. My contract says you can come on. What it really says is they can't interfere with his guests. Alex hears, I'm specifically in the contract. Yeah.

And also hears, I'm doing whatever I want now because I'm no longer at YouTube and I got this contract with Spotify. Right. Or Joe says something like, you know, it was a good opportunity. And I just I think, you know, there's some worship where, you know, I worry a bit about the censorship. I don't like how they're handling it. Yeah. And then what happens is Alex goes, you know, Joe says he's going to war, that he's refusing the censorship. And his contract specifically says I can be on. And it's actually much more simple, like, hey, but how you doing?

You know, like, it's actually much more simple like hey but how you doing you know like in school my country's great and then it becomes this article where it the headline says Joe Rogan says he is going to war against Google because Alex Jones has exclusively revealed it it's like wait for Joe Rogan to say something like that right not Alex Jones who is a showman who rips his shirt off and went on another person's show didn't he wasn't it he revealed it not even on his own show he went on someone person's show, didn't he? He revealed it, not even on his own show. He went on someone else's show. No, but that was, I think that was, is that Robert Barnes' show? Yeah, I think so.

But that's still part of Jones' network, I'm pretty sure. Oh, I have no idea. Yeah, Jones, like a lot of people don't realize banning Jones didn't do anything. I mean, it did. It did. It definitely hurt his revenue because he was doing a lot of sales. It definitely took him off of the mainstream social platforms. But Alex jones has been around for a long time like syndicated radio shows right like i don't know a whole lot about how his show worked but i'm pretty sure he's on

the radio like you can be in the middle middle of nowhere and turn on the radio and it's like this is the alex jones program then he comes on and he talks oh okay that's why when all of the all the censorship stuff happened i heard he didn't actually lose that much money. And that's why he built a new site. He's been doing his own video platform. Yeah. Like, he just does his own thing. Because he's rich.

He was making a ridiculous amount of money. Right on. I don't know the exact number. But when they banned him, all that it really meant was he went and built his own infrastructure because he's rich and continues to be. And was able to, yeah. Yeah. So here's what I'm hoping. September 3rd, 4th, 5th, whatever, Joe starts having on more of these guests that YouTube hates.

But it forces YouTube to maintain because he's got an alternative now. This competition, man. It's market competition. So YouTube gets scared. Like, if we censor these videos, everyone will ask Spotify for a deal. And if they do it, I feel like they're just going to push more of Joe Rogan's fans out of YouTube. Exactly. So Spotify probably knows that.

Right. It already feels like everyone's kind of fed up with YouTube. So if they do make that choice, everyone's going to be like, you know what? That was it. The straw. That's the one that broke my back. I'm out. I don't need you.

You know, Alex is doing fine without him. Joe Rogan's going to do. People are saying he's going to like flop. It's like, no, he's it. The straw. That's the one that broke my back. I'm out. I don't need you. You know, Alex is doing fine without him. Joe Rogan's going to do. People are saying he's going to like flop. It's like, no, he's not. He's going to continue doing what he's doing. I don't think people realize Joe probably doesn't care. Yeah. He's good.

He's set up. He's a famous comedian. He's an MMA commentator. He does that Netflix specials. Yeah. And he does the show the way he wants to do it. Now he's got a deal that could be, you know, Wall Street Journal says 100 million plus over a multi-year contract. Well, now he's going to do the show how he really wants to do it.

Yep. Without any restrictions. I'm excited. That's probably it. Yeah. Gloves are off. Yeah, exactly. I'm excited.

That's what Alex Jones was saying. I think that might be it. His show is going to be better now. It's going to be epic. Yeah. Wow, dude. Early days. Early Rogan was crazy stuff. Yep. And then things started to get,. Yeah. Wow, dude. Early days. Early Rogan was crazy stuff.

Yep. And then things started to get, you know, like, dude, I just went on the Rogan podcast and I told him you can't say this name. Yeah. That was probably like, you can't, you can't say it. Yeah. And he's like, write it down for me. Write it down.

And then he was like, I don't know who that is. And I'm like, yeah, it was a blur. You can't say it. So why would you want to do that? If a company came around and said, no, you can say whatever you want say whatever you want yeah deal no more censorship no more self-censorship guaranteed money done yeah that sounds good youtube there's an interesting problem youtube's facing with this i remember i was talking to friends about this 10 years ago there's a there was a big channel really really big in like 2010 and i was talking to some of the

guys who hosted, I was at Tribeca film festival. And that this, this was like, I think this was like six, six years ago. Okay. They said they used to get a million plus in every video and they were making mad cash, but then something happened and they started only getting a couple hundred thousand. And I said, it's, it's a few. In my opinion, it is saturation. YouTube is getting way too many new creators. And so every day you're competing with a bigger and bigger space. That makes sense. Less eyeballs to go around, right?

That's true. Early days of YouTube, you got 10 channels, but a billion people, everybody gets a lot of views. The other thing is I was like, the content you make is silly and fun. And have you considered your demographic is aging out? And they didn't understand that concept. Yeah. Like, what do you mean? Well, when you did that video of like, I'm just making something up of like, you know,

a guy dressed like a dinosaur jumping off of a building into a pool. Yeah. 12 year olds laughed and all started watching it. And you got a ton of views. Right. Now the people who've been following you there for five five years 30s or no no they're 20 okay yeah and now they want to talk about you know partying college drinking they're facing new challenges at college about student debt they're starting to ask questions yeah and you're still dressing like a dinosaur

and jumping in a swimming pool yeah now you could argue but we would have attracted a new younger generation to replace it. And I'm like, Snapchat. TikTok. Now it's TikTok. I'm like, they're not on YouTube, bro. It's like you captured them on that platform. They are. There's still a lot of young people on YouTube.

Right. But you captured them when they came. And now kids today who are joining YouTube are watching Minecraft. You don't make Minecraft. You make silly prank videos. Yeah. So the kids aren't watching that. Your audience, your numbers are going down. So I wonder, this is something that will affect YouTube across the board. They need their content

to be more mature as the young people who use YouTube grow up. Most people, it's like if you're older than 40, it's a sliding scale where it's like 17-year-olds are up here using YouTube, and then they're like, 17s are way down here for television. But it's inverted for 45-year-olds. 45-year-olds are up here for television and down here for YouTube. But as those young people, and like, I'm sure, you know, the joke we made a couple days ago was that you're a 34-year-old male named John watching right now. The people who, the, the, the, the largest faction of like the largest demographic for all of my content, including IRL is like 30 year old males. Okay. Where were these people 10 years ago? What were they doing? Watching different content.

Now it's politics. Now it's the president. Now it's, you know, censorship. So those old channels aren't going to capture anymore. That means if YouTube doesn't have a strong base of creators maturing along with the audience, they lose that entire audience. And now that YouTube has been censoring channels like this, what do they have to attract people? You know, so it's like I've been on YouTube for 10 years and now YouTube is just not fun to watch anymore because the content I grew up with, the creators I was aligned with who matured alongside me. Yeah.

Can't talk about what they want to talk about anymore. Yeah. People, people have been texting me about it. Basically YouTube itself is also changing in a different manner. You know, it's getting less and less the YouTube hole. You know, you used to be used to go into like a YouTube hole and like find the craziest stuff. And now it's just half mainstream media and half whatever they want you to see. And it's just not, it's not as, as fun and vast as it was once. Yeah. The press claimed that YouTube was a rabbit hole for extremism

and they use the far right as their scapegoat, as their straw man. Fundamentally not true. Yeah. And several studies. So there's never been, my understanding is that there hasn't been a real study proving it, but there have been studies disproving it. There have been people who have claimed they did analysis proving it, but those are lies. The ones, especially the ones that include me that I debunk.

Yeah. Because, you know, the way I explain to people, the media argues that if you watch a conservative video, then you'll naturally drift towards the far right. That makes no sense. Those are two different arguments. It would be like saying, if you eat too much chocolate, eventually you'll like white chocolate. It's like, they're different things. Like they're both chocolate. I get it. So the argument was, can, you know, conservatives are anti-immigration or anti-illegal immigration. And if you watch too much of that eventually you'll oppose immigration outright like how does no that's not true yeah because conservatives

have been arguing for controlled metered immigration right so if you watch their videos you'll agree with them on you know i think what does trump say like everybody can come if they come legally right that's very different from saying no immigration at all yeah so how do the example i give to people is like if you watched a bunch of batman videos would you all of a sudden be a batman cultist dressing like batman and running around your city i'm sure i'm sure it happens you know yeah i don't want to leave it out but you know who knows i remember those days of youtube man where you would type in like flat earth and then you'd get a whole bunch of the craziest silliest videos and they were hilarious to watch

they were kind of funny I don't believe the world is flat but it's funny watching some guy go on this like screed rant passionately about how he can prove it and it's nonsense yeah especially when one of your friends believes in flat earth and makes you watch all of the videos who's that?

I'm not going to say the name but I'm talking to you buddy he knows who he is i don't know he's watching right now but maybe but we he tried to convince me he put me like we sat there he's like you gotta watch this video and i'm like sure show me all right let's let's do this i'm just like okay where's the science there what about the science it's like there's no this is just a belief system and that's all it is really i've watched i recently watched they're still on youtube yeah they're still there i'm sure i was watching one where the guy was like just saying things like the sun is actually this big therefore this makes like this this thing they've said about the blue dot and this photo makes no sense because the sun is actually only this big and i'm like how do you know the sun is

that big like that you just said just saying it doesn't prove anything yeah the the whole the moon is the same size as the earth or as the sun yeah and they just and it's just it's just crazy it's the perfect ratio i think it's 10 times the the moon is it's it's like 100 times further than the moon which is 10 times i don't know some perfect ratio that they're the same size that's why i don't know what's happened i don't know what it's called. It's cool. Like, it's not an idiom or something. It's like a parable maybe of the puddle.

Maybe parable is the right word. Basically, there's a puddle on the ground looking around at the shape of the hole that he's in. And he says, this is amazing. This puddle was perfectly made for me. It fits me very very perfectly not realizing that he actually fits the hole you understand yeah so people look at the earth and all of the things in the solar system and they're like how could this be possible that we just happen to be on this planet with all these perfect things and it's like out of all of the billions

and trillions of planets and stars and whatever we are here because this is the one with the perfect things. Yep. Not the other way around. That's it. But back to the point about YouTube. Right. Do you ever do like a Wikipedia bender?

Sometimes. I have, yeah. You go on Wikipedia, you read stuff. It's like, however it happens, you'll read an article and it'll say like the California deal of, you know, 1853. And you're like, I wonder what that is. And you'll click it and you'll be reading a story about like some oil tycoon who like sold off his gold fortune to like start an oil company yeah and then you're like how did the oil barons you know come to be and then and then you start reading like crazy it's 2 a.m yeah this has happened and it's fun and YouTube used to be

like that now it's like you go on YouTube and do a search for something and you get Fox and CBS and you're like, this is really awful. Yeah. It's not just about the mainstream. It's about how they specifically do not cater to YouTube's core user base or the internet at all. Yeah, that's exactly right. You nailed it.

If you watch a segment on, you know, CBS, I'm using them on purpose because they're not Fox News or MSNBC. They're going to be like, today, Donald Trump spoke briefly in front of the press corps talking about the Obamagate theory. Donald Trump says that Michael Flynn was spied on, Jim. And it's like, you turn it on and then you just listen to it. If you come to a regular YouTuber, they're going to be like, what's up, guys? Comment below. I saw what you said the other day. Here's what I think's the story and it's very more it's much more personal it's much more interactive yeah designed for the platform youtube's been moving away from all that

because of the bad we're here to bring it back talking to you guys yeah but i mean somewhat true because we get suppressed too yeah depending on whatever we talk about it's like if, if we end up talking about something political, then the only recommendations will be Fox News. Even remotely, you know? Yeah. And then they start associating my name with politics. So then if you put my name in it, they're like, there's politics. And it negatively impacts. So they ended up with all these smear pieces.

YouTube panicked and then destroyed their website you know it could be that you know youtube basically got an arrow right through its heart last year in may when they changed the algorithm and it's a slow bleed out so youtube could be dead already i mean joe rogan's leaving well it's interesting how the that whole hiccup that happened was it earlier this week was it on monday hiccup yeah there was we were we were trying to get the studio to work and youtube was out people were tweeting us like yo youtube's not oh that's right and we were like what's going on it's not loading and then all of a sudden all the video recommendations were changed and were different is that what happened yeah yeah, definitely. I noticed it after that point. This is just my view.

Yeah, we're getting the non-corporate videos again. We're getting Tim Pool videos. People have been saying that. A tweet with a picture of two of your videos, the same video on the front page, right next to each other. Both of them were identical. Same exact video. It's good news. It but and suddenly joe rogan's like by the way i'm leaving youtube the same same day actually no it's tuesday i think he announced it yeah but youtube obviously knew already you know they probably knew something so they're probably sweating they're probably sweating like man we're we gotta we gotta change this because we're going to lose the internet, essentially.

And they want to maintain control for sure. If what Alex Jones is saying is true, it alludes to the fact that Joe Rogan did talk to Google specifically about his guests. Probably. So what did Alex Jones say? That Joe said he wants to interview doctors and experts and was told by YouTube they would not allow such content on their platforms.

Exactly. That means Rogan was talking to YouTube. I would then assume YouTube was aware of this deal. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. Here's what I'm thinking. I'm not going to speak for Joe. I don't know.

But I'll tell you what I would do. I'll tell you what I would do. I'll tell you what I've done. When a company comes to me and says, Mr. Poole, we'd like to do an exclusive deal with you. I say, how much? And, you know, they give me a number. And then I say, I want to be able to do these things. And they'll say, well, we can't do that.

Well, we can do these. I say, okay, let me call you back. You know what the first thing I do is? I call their competitor. And I say, I just got a phone call from this company and they're offering me these things. Are you interested? X, Y, and Z. What are you going to do?

And so I actually, for the sake of other people's privacy, I'll be vague about this. But back when I was, before I joined Vice, it's exactly what I did. So I got one offer from one company, one offer from another company. And then I went straight to Vice. I went to Vice and I was like, yo, look at these offers. What do you got. And then vice was like, Hmm. And vice was smarter than me. You know what they did? I don't know. They went to the other companies and went, he's ours now. What are you going to give us? Brilliant move, dude. Those guys are, you should have, you should have left the company names out of the, like, you know, redact them from the documents. It wasn't

any documents. It was just like, I went, I knew some people there and I went and talked and I said, right now I've got, you know, an offer from this company and an offer from this company. But to be honest, I'd rather come to you guys if you can offer something comparable. And so then I'm thinking, I'm doing, I'm smart. It's smart business. I'm leveraging the competition against each other. And so Vice was just like, I didn't learn this until later that they said, okay, absolutely. We'll hire you. And I said, here's what I want. Can you beat them? And they were like, I didn't learn this until later, that they said, okay, absolutely we'll hire you.

And I said, here's what I want. Can you beat them? And they were like, absolutely. And Vice gave me carte blanche. They were like, you'll do whatever you want. Here's how much we're going to pay you. And it wasn't that much relative to other companies. But I was like, I get to host all these things.

I get to do what I want. And then sure enough, they went basically right away to one of his other companies and said, now that he's here, we want you to do a deal with us if you want access to his content. Because at the time I had been doing like groundbreaking live stream stuff. Making that money back that they were now paying you. Oh, dude, they made like a hundred times. It was a brilliant move. Yep. But hey, it worked out for everybody.

You know, I got what I wanted. They got what they wanted. They were able to monetize off it. So here's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking this claim, if it's true, that he went to YouTube and they wouldn't allow content on their platforms. It sounds like he went to Spotify. Probably Spotify contacts Joe. We want you to do a deal. He says, okay, let me talk to YouTube. He goes to YouTube and says, will you do an exclusivity deal with me because Spotify is making an offer? and they say yes and then he says i want these guests they said no and he went bye-bye okay i'm leaving then that's a maybe i don't know for sure i mean that's because i didn't

sounds right it makes sense i don't know if youtube would care for the exclusivity deal and he's keeping his clip channel up if that's true it suggests that there won't necessarily be a big anti-censorship movement when he moves to Spotify. But I don't think it has to be coordinated. If Joe wants doctors on, and as soon as he's officially on Spotify, he'll have the doctors on. And it's going to be huge for him. Yeah, I can't wait for him to have those doctors that got removed. The one from California thatia that were talking about they were basically just explaining the immune system and talking about having a healthy

one versus a not healthy one going outside staying inside staying inside weakens your immune system right that's that's all they were saying it wasn't even that crazy you know but they deleted it you see that photo of the guy who's super ripped yeah and then six weeks later yes he's super thin but he had the coronavirus right yeah so it ravaged his body basically well no it was it was being in bed not eating not working out it was yeah he looked in good shape still he was just thin he looked he had a he had a feeding tube you can see it there inside of his stomach which is a horrible way to get nutrition that's not how you're supposed to eat and it should be temporary so he's laying in bed for six weeks withering away yeah think about what you're doing locked in your house how many people aren't getting exercise are eating bad there's memes about this where they're like there's two

kinds of people yeah and then like it's a video of some dude doing like prison workouts and then the other person is sitting there with their gut hanging out like mustard from their corn dog dripping on their belly a lot of people got limited exercise getting up and walking around every day, going out to work, walking to lunch, sitting around doing nothing now. And being sedentary is going to result in them getting sick or hurt. Exactly. Which brings us to a good segue to what's going on with COVID then, I guess. I guess.

So we can move off of the YouTube stuff, but now let's talk about contact tracing. So this is freaking everybody out. Yeah, this is a little creepy, man. Apple releases iOS 13.5 with COVID-19 contact tracing feature, Face ID improvements. Can we stop and think about the absurdity of these phones right now? For the longest time, we were scared and we still are of facial recognition technology. So what do they do? They put it in our phones. And now everybody's like, look, I can and we still are, of facial recognition technology. So what did they do? They put it in our phones.

Oh, yeah. And now everybody's like, look, I can hold my phone to my face, and it opens. Yeah. I'm like, you realize it's terrible security, right? Like, if you have a password, they can lock, they'll handcuff you to a chair and be like, give me the password or else. And you're like, never. And you spit in his face.

Right. Now they just hold the phone up to your face. Thanks. And they walk away. They hold it up to a picture of you. Right. Yep. Seriously. Yep. How does that work? That's to your face. Thanks. And they walk away. They hold it up to a picture of you. Right. Yep. Seriously.

How does that work? I've tried it. That's why I didn't set that lock on my phone. I was like, no way. Oh, that's funny. It's a terrible security function. And so now they're going to be rolling out contact tracing. For those that aren't familiar, what it means is they want to be able to know who came into contact with who. So if we have these things

on our phones, they can pull up a map of everyone we've interacted with i'm reading through the uh the update that they're asking me to do so so yeah so here let's do this i haven't seen anything yet well done let's let's all sorts of different things you want to hold it up i mean i'm just well yeah but let's see if we can show it no well i haven't found anything yet so there's like camera and photos stuff and like maps is being updated siri let's see if siri's got anything no there's a lot that's being updated it's like it's like 150 different things oh wow so i'm like searching through it all yeah it's too much i'm sorry what they just slipped it in there like well maybe i don't i don't know if it's if it's this update or if it's

a future update is that 13.5 it's showing you? Let's see. The one I've seen shows the... It's iOS 13. Not point anything. Just iOS 13. So you're way behind. Maybe I am.

Possibly. Oh, no. I'm on 13. Oh, no. It is 13.5. You're right. At the top, it should say the summary of what it is. You don't see it.

Let's see. I'll read it. It says, iOS 13 introduces a dramatic new look for iPhone with dark mode, new ways to browse and edit photos, and a private new way to sign in to apps and websites with just a tap. iOS 13 is faster and more responsive

with optimizations across the system that improve app launch, reduce app download sizes, and make face ID even faster. My phone doesn't have face id because i'm a little my i think it's the seven or i don't even know what phone this is but but they didn't say anything about that though maybe it's because you have an older phone yeah maybe maybe i don't have here's what they say over it for them to trace me yes yes i would like that here's what they say

over at uh zd net yeah they say Apple also included a new COVID exposure notification feature in iOS 13.5 on iPhone. The feature is part of Apple and Google's previously announced partnership that enables a contact tracing API for health officials to build apps and use to fight the spread of COVID-19. It provides an anonymous way to alert others you've come in contact with over the last 14 days

should you contract COVID-19 and test positive, as well as a means for you to be alerted if someone you've been in contact with has tested positive. We have a complete breakdown of how the feature works, blah, blah, blah. The feature is found in Settings, Privacy, Health, COVID-19 Exposure Logging. Until you install an approved app from a public health authority, the feature will remain turned off. We're unaware of any apps that work with the API at the moment, but now that the update is out, we expect it to change. Once we begin to see approved contact tracing apps available, do you plan on installing? Okay, that's a stupid question. Here's what we see in China.

In coronavirus fight, China gives citizens a color code with red flags. A new system uses software to dictate quarantines and appears to send personal data to police in a troubling precedent for automated social control. Whoa, whoa, whoa, New York Times. It's a little biased for you to insert, I suppose. No, but they're right, though. Yeah, they're totally right. Well, hold on.

The New York Times said it. What's the date on this? March 1st. On March 1st, the New York Times said, a troubling precedent for automated social control. And now, a couple months later, Apple's rolling out its new feature. Yeah. Contact tracing, so you can, Apple's rolling out its new feature. Yeah. Contact tracing.

So you can track who you've touched. Convenient. There's been conversations about us getting apps just like this with a color code. The way it works in China, my understanding is if you're in a city and you're cleared,

you get a green QR. Yep. When you want to enter a building, they scan your code to make sure you're cleared. But if you leave the city or the specific area, it turns red. It no longer works. And then you got to get retested or something. Yeah. Or quarantine again or some ridiculous thing. So a lot of people are sharing

this update. And I think you don't have anything to worry about with the update. No. I think you should be fine to update. The problem comes when I I'm not finding anything. Public buildings or something, or the government says, if you want to enter the post office, a school, you have to have our app. And that means you got to update. So it's not the update that's the problem. It's the...

What do they call it? What did the article say? From an authority? When a public health authority, the feature will remain... Unless you install an approved app from a public health authority. The feature will remain, unless you install an approved app from a public health authority. What does that mean?

Does that mean Apple and Google have decided to do this just on their own, hoping the government approves of some specific app that's going to allow them to track who you've touched and talked to? Well, yesterday you said, if the school said, you can't have your kid go to the school

without the vaccination, you'd be okay with it, right? Absolutely. So it's almost in line with it. The government's going to be like, if you want to use these government programs, you have to have this app. And it's like, it's just going to make more programs that aren't run by the government appear. Unless they say, if you want to go to the DMV, you have to have the app. See, that's where it's like forced. are different forced right so you need to be able if

you drive right people are going to be riding bikes look at look at what dershowitz look at what dershowitz said the other day yep that you know maybe what we'll do is we'll make you we'll lock you in your home unless you want to get the vaccine oh what a good idea no he didn't say lock you in but you have you have the right to stay in your home unless you want to come out and then you need to be vaccinated which is and they can drag you to a doctor basically the same thing yeah it's like come on so we're like china we're getting there i wonder i wonder if this is all panic and i think it really is i think you've got for the most part democratic governors power hungry but also scared they do not want to take the blame for this if things go bad. Then you got the Republican

governors who are like, leave it open. Notably, Kristi Noem and Ron DeSantis, South Dakota and Florida. And so you have these Democratic governors who want the power and they see the opportunity to seize the power. Yeah. They take it. And someone actually pointed out to me on Twitter earlier today that a lot of those Democratic governors aren't up for ree-election this year really yeah like california michigan uh where else new jersey new york so their re-elections will come later yeah later after it all blows over and maybe people people forget yep exactly i don't think but they they don't have to worry about leaving right now they're like whatever we're gonna lock it down because we can you know we're gonna change rules that have nothing to do with this because we can.

Take the Super Chats. Oh, yeah. All right. You know what? We're going to go to Super Chats. Tim is getting an important phone call. Tim is taking a call. I'm going to jump into his box. Heck, yeah. You know what? I kind of want to sit in Adam's chair. All right. AdamCast IRL coming to you live. Yes, there you go. Perfect.

So, I mean, this Apple thing, honestly i i don't mind my phone not being updated because as long as my phone works i don't care as long as i can still play the one game that i use my phone for yeah i'm fine with it i had a samsung s3 for like eight years it's fantastic i never i didn't need to upgrade it until i got here yeah i have to get a new phone i really have to it doesn't do the stuff I need it to do. If it works, it works. They're probably monitoring who's on his phone call right now. No doubt.

Because they can. That's a scary premise. I really hope that doesn't happen though. We're going to go to Super Chats. Let's do it. Tim's obviously busy right now. We're taking things over. I'm going to go to Super Chats.

What's up, everybody? I got to just say thanks say thanks everybody for showing up this this might be the biggest show that we've ever had biggest night yeah thank you you guys are awesome i really appreciate you guys all all hanging out with us tonight thursday too yeah this might be the uh the biggest show so uh so we'll just jump into super chats grim soul banisher says did you hear that netflix censored back to the Future 2? It's stupid but scary that we could lose movies the way we remember them as to not offend. I didn't hear that they did that.

But didn't they do that with Star Wars? The first Star Wars? I don't know. Yeah. They tried to re-edit it. A New Hope. Han Solo shot first. You guys know what I'm talking about, right?

They tried to change it. No, they did change it. Well, they did. Yeah, yeah, they did. They changed it so the guy, the assassin or bounty hunter that was coming after Han Solo shot first. He shot him, but in the original edit Han Solo shot him in advance and it was awesome. It just made the movie so much more cool. It was cool in my head. I don't know. I really liked it. Ret it retro fitting i wonder what did they change in back to the future too what did they change about it i

don't know i'll have to read about it that sucks though anyway uh josh in jesus says tim well he's not here but i'll just say adam think any chance of getting a constitutional president in 2024 also did you get my email ps think uh still think you should consider moving to Madison. You know, I've actually been to Madison. I'm also from Chicago. I don't know if you knew that. But unfortunately, I don't know if I can answer these questions. I really would love a constitutional president, someone that actually believes in our Constitution. Although it seems Trump pretty much does.

I don't know about, you know, the whole political realm. I'm still getting my feet wet, you know, so Tim is definitely the expert on that sense. Jack's ISF says red states are reopening and the economy is rebounding. Blue states are taking totalitarian measures beyond flattening the curve. How can this be anything more than political maneuvering? I 100% agree. 100% agree. Yeah. You know, the red states are, and we just kind of talked about a little bit, the blue states, can this be anything more than political maneuvering i 100 agree 100 agree yeah you know the red states are and we just kind of talked about a little bit the the blue states these governors aren't up for re-election they're just power hungry i didn't realize that they're going

nuts it's just like what are you guys doing you're they're kicking businesses out well not kicking they're losing businesses they're shooting themselves in the foot like tesla is probably going to be leaving to texas i don't know if that's confirmed or not, but Elon Musk has, has basically made it seem like he's pretty much fed up with California and, uh, we'll see what happens there. Kyle Buchanan says, so Tim, you say you want to move. Why does it have to be the East coast? Oklahoma just passed an alcohol, uh, delivery. Uh, well actually it's funny. I got whiskey delivered like a month ago. And it was I got like four bottles of whiskey. Really good stuff.

Random thought. So it does. We do have that here. And he does want to be on the East Coast for the time. You know, he gets up and there's a schedule that he has. He does the news. So I think that has something to do with it. He was saying that something like 70 percent of the U.S. is is on east coast time i think that's really what he was going for

oh okay well and it also makes sense that you know he's up and looking at the news and is ahead of ahead of everything you know so he he's right off the bat he knows what's going down and is making videos before the people on the West Coast. Ryan Jones says, Hey, Tim, with your business expanding, check out North Carolina. Scanner has been to Asheville and the Research Triangle and Wilmington, a gem on the coast. We like our liberty and we don't trust our politicians. You know, I've been to North Carolina and I really like North Carolina. It's a really pretty place.

I have good memories there. Ultra Lesbian says, what's up gamers? I'm assuming you're talking to me. Although Tim has been a gamer in the past. He doesn't game as much as he used to because he is a workaholic and works harder than anyone I know. All Metal Mike says, whoa, I just got a major jump. I have a feeling that's going to happen because big show. Yeah. Let's see here. Where we go. All Metal Mike. Will YouTube replace Tim Pool with Sim Pool?

Maybe. Maybe. If he starts blinking really oddly or his beanie's like in some sort of, if it's like a different color beanie, you know something's up. Yeah. So pay attention to the beanie. Johan Oldman says, here it is again, yet it stings like the first time. I don't know what you're talking about. That's from a song. I just can't place the song. My bad. Is it from your shirt? Possibly. Oh, it is. Oh my gosh, you're right. It's Alkaline Trio. How did I know that? I don't know any Alkaline Trio. How did I know that?

I don't know any Alkaline Trio songs. I didn't catch it. I was thinking it was Rise Against. My goodness. Because that's another of my favorite bands, but no, my bad. Favorite bands. You don't even know the song lyrics.

No, apparently not. Shame on you. Too funny. Anyway, Cole Tilton says, do you guys like Philly Soft Pretzels? Oh my goodness. Yes. Oh, yes.

I love them. They're so good. I actually grew up in Philadelphia. Random little tidbit. I went to high school here in the north side of Philly and I have really good memories here. And so those Philly pretzels bring me back. Wolf Spain says, I know this was from yesterday, but as a person that lives in Georgia, it has one of the most bipolar weather in the world. But hey, maybe I'm biased.

Yeah, I don't know much about Georgia. I've driven through Georgia a lot in my life, but only that, just driving through. Chet Chrisholm says, Trump taking hydrochloroquine when he doesn't have C-19 is effing stupid. If it was on the advance of his doctor then it should also then it's also malpractice you wouldn't give insulin to prevent diabetes or something else before a heart attack except i i've read into this and what what it does is it increases i think it's the zinc it it helps um your body take zinc more i i think it's zinc i might might be wrong. I'm not sure exactly. Does that sound right? Yeah. Zinc helps your body fight infection and that's been known for a really long time.

Right. And I think that's what it is. It is a preventative medicine actually. So it doesn't, it's not the most crazy thing. Insulin you need to help balance your sugar levels. So that's a little different because the hydrochloroquine helps regulate your zinc levels and helps you fight infections more so i mean i i don't blame him he's the president you know he needs to he needs to have as much as he can i don't know we'll see all right let's see uh chris maddell says hey tim do you think the recent CNN comedy, in quotes, skits from the Cuomo's could be them priming him to replace Biden? Show he could take smears and such. I haven't seen it. Oh, my gosh. I have seen this where they're messing with the giant Q-tip, the cotton Q-tip. It's like a cotton swab.

Oh, I did see that. Yeah, because... Is it supposed to be some sort of comedy? Yes. It's supposed to be some kind of like... I forget what Tim was calling it, but it was like some kind of sketch. And then it was because Andrew Cuomo got the test on live TV and she shoved the swab all the way back into his nose.

Isn't that what you're supposed to do? Yeah, it is exactly what you're supposed to do. But they were making it like super funny. And I'm like, why are you trying to humanize this guy who has like an 80 disapproval rating who's overseeing the death of thousands of people i can't stand that guy yeah i cuomo yeah i if they're gearing both of them i can't stand either one of them at first i was like all right you know okay he seems to not not the news anchor the governor is the governor right of new york it's okay yeah i was all right, this guy seems to be telling me like it is.

And then, of course, I find they're shoving people in old people's homes. I don't know, actually, if this is for certain, but it seems to be that there's a hashtag killer Cuomo going around. I don't know. Yeah, he's responsible for a lot. Yeah, well. I hope they're not gearing him up to take Biden's place. I hope not. I don't know.

I have no idea what the DNC is going to do. Crip Crack Attack says, Joe and Alex have been friends since the 90s. Yeah, I guess 22 years they've been friends. Lior Engelstein says, I think you should look up Texas and Las Vegas. Texas looks like the next hotbed for your industry.

Las Vegas has no real natural disasters and not hard convincing people to come into the studio. That's a good point. Yeah, he's pretty set on moving. I don't know where he's going to decide. I don't know where we'll end up. Jesus says, here is my weekly due to the Beanie Union. I like that, the Beanie Union.

Yeah, I like that. It's got a good vibe. Glad to be out of quarantine after a week and cutting grass once again. You folks should revisit the Batgirl controversy uh makes for a great listen we we did uh we were going to talk about it i guess we didn't get to it was it we were going to get we tried to get to it yesterday we ended up talking about the snyder cut instead yeah that was the last clip from yesterday all right maybe we should talk about that at some point i guess i don't know i mean i didn't watch it it feels silly like it's a just another go get woke go broke yeah like okay and yeah i don't know have

you not learned that yet come on yeah come on uh infinality says if both tim and alex jones were on joe rogan does that make tim alex jones adjacent sure why not sure why not yeah that's how that sneaky soviet says there is some drive-in theaters opening near me tomorrow one of which has been closed for seven years it's pretty awesome i have seen that that they're opening again that's really cool i remember when i was younger i would i went to a couple of drive-ins when i was like nine this is like 20 something years ago third yeah 25 years ago i don't know that's awesome math um uh ziesel the fallen says do you think you'd ever start having guests on this podcast? Yes, actually, we did just move up here, but we wanted to have guests.

We were prepping to have guests, and then a little something called coronavirus 19 hit us. So now we've been locked in. Timothy E. says, Kansas is one true way. Every other state sucks just move here tim the only state that still has some freedoms have crap weather because sjws are too soft to live in them suck it up man that's a good argument you got good points there are you that yep uh brian boinko says uh 5.0 all right cool we'll take it uh trules emil johansson says uh joanna nessen i think i said that right uh spotify did purge infowars back in 2018 though what is the difference from

youtube i don't know you want to uh check that out yeah i didn't know they purged uh i think uh alex jones is purged from every single platform oh okay that's part of the alex jones thing yeah okay okay infow Wars is Alex Jones. Right. But, I mean, it seems that Joe has like a legitimate contract, you know, so he's probably, I mean, he's not going to go anywhere else unless it's a guarantee he can do whatever he wants on the show. It's Joe Rogan.

So we'll see. But you do make a good point. Kyle Miller says, these states need to open up soon or expect less tax revenue from businesses. Can't get much tax revenue from businesses that have been closed for 2020. That's a great point. That's very true. Like, hey, states, you're losing money. Tomorrow, everything's going to be open.

Yeah. They're like, oh, that's a good point. We're going to lose money. We should open up now. Yeah, we should shout that more loudly. That's a good point. Get back in your coffin says, Tim, I don't want to smash the like button. I want to smash Adam.

Oh, well. Oh, well. My. Oh, my. You're very steamy very quickly. Hello there. But on that note, smash that like button. Do that instead.

You can't technically smash me because I'm on the other side of the screen. Unfortunately for you. Drunk Shovel says, give me liberty or give me death. Those words should be on the lips of every American. End the grip on our liberties. Don't tread on me. 100% agree. It's crazy what they're trying to do here. Or rather

what they are doing. They are successfully doing. Clink Clank Boom of Flavors says, why not move to South Carolina? Still East Coast. Yep, the Carolinas are there. Carlos Cruz says, why not move to South Carolina? Still East Coast. Yep, the Carolinas are there. Those are good, yeah. Carlos Cruz says, hello, fellow Beanie Florbos. What do you think about the Eastern religions?

Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism come to mind. Thoughts on Alan Watts and McKenna. Alan Watts is an amazing person. I don't really know McKenna's work, but then, of course, you know, there is something about Buddhism I really liked that sticks with my head I'm not sure who exactly said it but it was

said that there's 7 billion people on this planet so there should be 7 billion religions and I love that because we are all different you know we're so unique in our own you know upbringings, environments class everything we're so unique in our own upbringings, environments, class, everything. We're so different, all of us, that no one thing can make sense for everybody.

So everyone needs to find their own path. And I love that about Buddhism. And that's always something that stuck with me. I don't know about the rest, though. Mark Robertshaw says, Who was it that said reality is stranger than fiction? Because since 2016, this world has been wild. And honestly, I love it.

Freedom. You know who also has been talking about that? Ian Crossland. I don't know who joined me on Adamcast IRL when Tim and Lydia were gone. But Ian joined me. And he has been saying that. We've been chatting. He's like, man, something happened.

Well, he said it earlier, 2012, I think. He's like, man, something happened. He said it earlier, 2012. The world actually ended and we split off on our timeline and now we're in some weird alternate something going on. It definitely feels crazy. A quiet guitarist fan says I respect you three, but your interpretation of BVS was just wrong. What is BVS? BVS. I'm not sure.

What are we doing here? Let me look it up. Sorry, I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about. Oh, wait, wait. Batman versus Superman. Oh, okay. It was a redemption arc for Batman and a purpose arc for Superman. Oh.

Batman stopped when he heard the name because he realized he had become who he hated and he had become cruel from losing so much. Wow. You do make a good point okay compelling yeah so maybe he like tim said he could have just stopped um attacking superman and thrown the spear aside and said you know just so you know you've been beat but he didn't really think that maybe batman had like red in his eyes like he saw red. Maybe he really was trying to kill Superman and was going to kill him. And that's a good point when he it kind of like brought him back to his human side. Like, whoa, I'm about to kill this this person who has a mother just like me.

It's a great point. Thanks. When Tim gets back, well, we'll have a conversation I'm sure about eventually. Pickle. Oh, Pickler of world says come to the freest state in the union new hampshire we have only one freedom festival pork fest well i probably won't attend pork fest but um i'm glad you guys are living free up there and you're not the first person to suggest new hampshire yeah uh jacob talbot thank you for the super chat glenn manual says canada a man was fined for drinking coffee alone in a car at a tim horton parking lot.

Cop told him to leave. He started to leave, and then the cop stopped him from leaving, ticketing him all on tape. I heard about this, and it's ridiculous. What is going on in the world? Oh, my gosh. Chuck Morris says, turned off my phone. GTFO while you can. Gold818 says, speaking of other platforms, why don't you guys use um what is it restreams.io

to rebroadcast your stream on multiple platforms for example uh d live bit shoot twitch um facebook live also the obs plugin combines chat i have to look at that yeah i mean i'm not interested in twitch i was gonna start streaming games a lot of people do ask me to stream games. I am a heavy gamer and I am actually going to start streaming soon. This Twitch fiasco. It feels like they're doing the same thing that YouTube's doing. Just trying to be on top of stuff that doesn't even exist. It's crazy. Tharpen It Up says, move to East Tennessee. We're very media oriented in a red state with preppers, East Coast, and most of us are musicians. Must be the water. I love to jam. Sounds good.

You know, I've actually been to Tennessee and that's a great place. And I stopped by a few places that had some amazing vegan food randomly. But yeah, seems like a good spot. Graboid Biden, funny name, says, is there any worse than realizing you walk through a spider web and then you feel something walking on your neck? Just happened. Oh, no, I'm sorry. I can think of something actually worse. I was walking from my tent to the bathroom.

And I was camping out in this place called, it was a Permajam Festival. A couple, I think it was two years ago. And there was a low hanging branch. And I brushed past it. And I went to the bathroom and went back. And I was laying there. And I felt something on my neck. And when I looked, it was a tick.

And it had bitten me. Oh my gosh. i don't like things sucking my blood that is worse than if you're an insect then i'm vegan i will still kill i will kill you so fast and they don't go down easy man those those ticks you gotta like really smash i hate ticks they're gross yeah Bobcat says, life is like beer. For best results, chill. Love it. That's great, Bobcat.

Not bad. uh cool i'm looking forward to reading that stuff and thanks for sending me the stuff that you have sent me so far chaotic says hey tim cast i've been considering trying we are change university to get an

understanding on how to do work as a journalist have you heard of it and if so would you recommend it take this 20 and keep up the good work. Well, thank you Chaotic. I appreciate that.

To some, that may not be a lot, but to me it is oh that absolutely is a lot and i i would be uh i would love to watch that because tim is incredible at smash brothers yes uh quiet guitars fan again says snyder painted a whole picture in uh batman

versus superman ultimate edition of batman's rage cruelty and bitterness he saw how weak he was compared to superman and felt powerless as alfred said a good man turned cruel yeah you know, that scene bugged me so much when I first watched that movie. And what you pointed out really makes me want to re-watch it with a different mentality because that does make a lot of sense that he lost himself. You know, he became cruel, like a good man turned cruel. Yeah, that's really, really great. Mr. Rich Low Pitch again says, don't mean to crowd other chats, but I'm trying to get into voiceover work and was wondering what microphone and sound installation you recommend. Now that I have no idea.

We'll see when he returns, yeah. Let's see. I don't want to miss anyone. Mark Robertshaw says, I believe that most UFOs are drones or unmanned craft being human or alien origin because of the G-forces in their movements would kill organic life. What, you know, it's hard to believe that, you know, if they're here.

Man, the whole alien thing. I would love to have a chat about it speaking can i get the wide shot oh yeah hold on one sec i've just noticed our ufo is not spinning we gotta spin the ufo you want to come over here yeah you know what let me why don't you come over here yeah let's do that yeah you know and i know you guys want me to spin the ufo so i'm gonna spin this ufo it just feels wrong.

It's been, oh, we were here now. 80 days. It's crazy that it's been 80 days. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I can't believe it. And yeah, that really sucks that you have no gigs. I hope the economy picks up again so you can start working again.

Zeryl Gardner says, if the Joe Rogan move works spotify will be a new alternative to youtube yeah and that's why i think youtube is stressing out because it's a serious viable option and they they just got youtube's biggest podcast not only youtube's the biggest podcast in the world it's joe rogan's yeah i hope they're paying attention i oh they are they're definitely paying attention yeah yeah all right so uh black belt of confession uh constitution never heard that hey tim what are your thoughts on uh from parasite to hell trapped at a music festival because of covid19 oh i i actually did uh see this is do you hear about this there was a the

festival that was going on in South Pacific somewhere. I don't know where it was. Oh, yeah. But then all the flights got canceled. And then all of a sudden, they didn't even hear about COVID. They were just like partying, whatever, at this festival. And then all of a sudden, they were like, oh, we can't leave. Like, why?

Like, oh, well, COVID-19, duh. And then it's like, oh, what is that? Yeah, Tim and I were talking about that on the drive. And then they're stuck there. Yeah, they were stuck for like weeks. Yeah, that sucks. That doesn't sound fun. All right, let's see.

Cauldronier says, please disavow lit solar ads. They're using stolen American solar SIGs tech. I've worked as an engineer at solar manufacturers. China is abusing us. I don't know anything about it. But there's a little bit for you to hear. Right there. Joey Talley says, Have you all thought about doing a similar pay

method to the one of your main content for the whole crew so I don't have to give YouTube money? That's a good point. Maybe we should set up our own so people can iron that out people can uh drop us some coin yeah that'd be nice yeah uh james wallace says the the mad man is back he is bat s crazy um but he has been right more than a broken clock i know that is pretty crazy

i don't watch alex jones but i do hear a lot of people talking about him because you know but it's the i know the broken you say the broken clock you know the broken clock is right twice a day but he he has been right on a few things i don't have anything that comes to mind but he's just very kind of flamboyant not flamboyant that's not the right word um i forget what word tim uses but it's just like very outspoken and hyperbolic yeah so when So when he says something's true, it's buried under a mountain of other stuff. Well, he said he was going to eat his neighbors. Yeah, I hope that part's not true. I don't think it's going to come to that, but I don't know.

Let's not. I think he was just saying it to stay relevant. Not necessarily relevant, but get a little boost. Yeah. Because that was everywhere. Come on, everyone knew that. A little cabin fever. All right, let's see. Amundsoul. Excuse me. China is

putting cameras inside people's houses. How long before that happens here? Hmm, I wonder. There's no way that's going to happen here. I mean, there's no way. I think we would be where we are now. No, no, no. I don't know. That's not going to happen. That's crazy. Capitalism Entertainment and Technology says, Logan Paul had Alex on and I saw the episode. It was fun.

Right. Right on. You can check it out. Outlaw Bear says, Watch Alex Jones' Endgame documentary and see how he called everything happening because of COVID-19 back in 2007. Oh. That's 13 years ago. Hmm.

All right. STFU says, per Alex Jones, your description of spreading out the outrage to diminish the impact is literally equivalent concept to flattening the curve. All right. I can see it. Kyle Miller says, instead of calling CIA leaker Voldemort, call him what Terry A. Davis calls the CIA so that he glows in the dark. All right. Voldemort's pretty that he glows in the dark. All right. Voldemort's pretty cool, though. I like it. Wolf Lincoln, thanks for becoming a member.

Appreciate that. Mark Robertshaw says, the internet is a modern battleground for civil rights and ideology. Time will tell if it moves in real life. The case global backlash against authority is yuck. Alter the Dark. Sorry. Atler the Dark says, don't forget Spotify was one of those companies that banned Alex Jones. Yeah, that's right.

Someone else did say that. Yeah, I guess it was like a universal thing that Alex Jones just got banned from the Internet. So I don't I don't really know. I wasn't really privy or paying attention two years ago. It was kind of not in the political realm. I don't say not don't because I'm immersed in it now. I can't get away from it. You have a choice.

Yeah, I have no choice. Sorry. No, that's okay. Honestly, I like being informed. I have zero regrets. Good. And that's something I've always lived with, just no regrets. Because if you get, that means you're wallowing instead of learning from your decisions and it's like having a regret you

you can learn you can have it but don't let it control you so good policy yeah but uh yeah i guess i mean it seems like rogan's got a legitimate deal with Spotify. He's not going to go there unless it's official. Yeah. Mr. Fixit. Mr. Fixit. There we go. I appreciate your common sense approach to bringing us facts, no matter if they match your political leanings. It's far and few between these days. I appreciate that.

Chuck Morris says the Constitution is still in effect. Time to stop and open up the cons or the country come on yeah uh michelle my bell says my home state of california is still on lockdown but didn't seem to stop pelosi from shooting botox into her battleaxe mug have a great day she is a scary looking woman that was considered essential because if she didn't have that Botox. I can't believe it. It was crazy. She looked like a normal human. You know? And then suddenly it was like she almost she looked really uncomfortable actually. Oh Tim's returned. Tim has returned. So I'm going to give it up for Tim.

I had to take that call. It's hot in here. What is it, like 80 degrees? It is hot in here. I just got off the phone with... Well, someone said they wanted to smash me, and I got all nervous. No, I'm just kidding. I just got off the phone with Joe.

You just got off the phone with Joe Rogan? Joe Rogan. So I saw this story. You heard it here. So he was talking to Joe Rogan. And I got some crazy stuff. Oh. Are we allowed to talk about it?

Yes. Yes. It's a long conversation. All right. A lot of, you know, just like BS. We were like complaining about censorship stuff. Yeah, yeah. And that's what it's all about, I'm sure, right?

Well, no, no. I mean, so Joe said he got a really awesome deal. Yeah. So he took it. Obviously. Yeah, that's what I was just saying. He is upset with censorship. Yeah.

Alex made a bunch of... He embellished to an extreme degree. I'll put it that way. Yeah, not surprised. And Alex actually took it all down. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, okay.

So Alex actually took stuff down. Okay. But I can say some stuff. So Joe's not going to war. No. That was not true the gloves aren't off that was that was alex jones alex was just saying all the stuff yeah and joe's like he's like man it's just a great deal and you know i'm gonna take it and uh he did tell me something

really interesting and i was like i had to clarify this on the record like is this legit he's like definitely oh nice you guys ready for this? I am so ready for this. When Alex Jones appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast last time, that got 17 million views, Joe contacted YouTube to warn them. They said, okay, and then monetized it. That's it. It wasn't monetized? Alex Jones had been banned from the platform.

Right. He had been purged. Oh, this was after he was purged yeah okay i'm pretty sure oh and so in the midst of all of these demonetizations happening all over the place yeah he was like we you know we we hit him up hey just so you know alex is on the podcast right and then they had they had forewarning monetized it that raised a lot of questions why was was Alex Jones removed, but when they got a heads up he was going to be on Joe's show to huge press, did they say run ads on it? They wanted to make that money. They did. And they didn't care it was Alex Jones.

They didn't care. And I was, Joe, we were talking about it, and I said, is the stuff about doctors true? Did YouTube ever tell you? No, no, no, no. No, that's not the case. Oh, okay. Joe basically said, I have on who I want to have on. It's nothing like that.

But he does think, he told me, we've got to have some kind of protections the way we do free speech for the internet it doesn't make sense that you're on you know this this like you have you're on youtube or whatever and they can just remove you end you or itunes or whatever yep just so uh we talked about a lot of stuff i want to make sure i don't get into like you know because we didn't talk about literally just nothing but the the stuff right he basically mentioned the gist of the conversation when you go to spotify when you do the deal like this you you've got someone who asks you, like, how can we help you succeed? When you're on YouTube, you're asking YouTube, please don't hurt me. Those are my words. Right.

No, I get it. That's how it is. Yeah. Yeah. So there it is. It makes sense. Yeah. I mean, it's true.

Alex took it down. But I don't know exactly what Joe's conduct or anything like that is, who he's going to have on. But I guess Joe's like, I'm going to have on interesting people, and I'm not going to have to worry about it. I mean, is he going to have Alex on? I believe so. Okay. But I don't think it's like the way Alex framed it. I'm going to be his first guest.

Yeah, yeah. But I mean, that's about it. The interesting thing, I think, is that the monetization of Alex Jones, I think, has huge connotations. Like, that's serious. That YouTube was simultaneously telling people, like, we're doing these things for these reasons. Then behind the scenes being like, yeah, yeah, come on, let's get some ad money. Yeah, we'll get that money. 17 mil.

You want to know what I think? Of course. Alex Jones was making mad cash on YouTube. Yeah. YouTube wanted on YouTube. Yeah. YouTube wanted that money. Yeah. The only reason they got rid of him was because the media was going after him. And that means the advertisers would pull out and they would lose more money.

So here they found their sweet, you know, double dip. Yeah. Oh, it's not us. You got to get mad at Joe Rogan. He had him on. Yeah. Run ads on it. Yeah.

They got to run the ads on it. They got to deflect blame. Hey, we banned him. You know, we can't control ads on it yeah they got to run the ads on it they got to deflect blame hey we banned them you know well we can't control you know the biggest podcast in the world on itunes and so i think competition is going to be our saving grace yeah that makes sense you know learning the stuff that joe never said this stuff does change a lot of my initial reaction we had earlier in the show yeah that uh you know it's gonna but but i think it still stands uh joe's concerned about censorship he thinks it's insane that doctors are being banned stuff like that but it's not a motivation or whatever he's just doing his thing but it is true in my opinion

because i don't think he he thinks too much about this stuff okay that's if he starts having on you know more controversial guests i'm gonna sneeze. And YouTube will be put under pressure. If you ban this, then you're giving away your audience. And that creates... Exactly. But there's another thing to consider too, that with Joe doing a deal as big as he did, it opens the door for other creators.

It expands the industry. Spotify's stock is skyrocketing. That's not surprising. And so like you know are they going to make just in market value from their stock i'm sure that they can you know joe rogan saying i'm going to spotify boom their stock skyrocket yeah so now they're like okay because of that now we got all this market you know market capital whatever yeah what's that going to lead to? I hope. So I just found this out, actually. My show is one of the, like, it's on the front page, I guess.

If you go to Spotify and scroll down, it's like number 30-something. On Spotify? Yeah, even though it gets, like, no views. Oh, cool. But your show's on Spotify now already. Oh, it's been on Spotify for a long time. Oh, okay.

I didn't know. Oh, right on, right on. Oh, your main podcast. IRL's on Spotify, right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I mean, I hope so. It's not on all of them but yeah i'm excited for this you know why if spotify is trying to get in the market that means they're gonna do what they have to do to make sure creators are happy yeah youtube owns the market so they're doing what they can to

make sure they stay on the top well there's there's a few super chats that people have pointed out to us spotify also banned alex jones back in 2018 yeah so how do we know that spotify isn't gonna now they're they're getting all this money and then like how do we know that they're not just gonna suddenly be like you know what maybe we should start censoring and doing the same thing youtube's doing yep it's possible yeah it is but it's competition right i think well it's possible. Yeah, it is. But it's competition that I think will help. It's not only YouTube anymore. We actually have a viable option outside of YouTube. And Alex is...

So you better be sweating, YouTube. I mean, look. No, they are. I know they are. Alex took the video down. I remember actually when I saw that article, I said I couldn't find it. Right. Because Alex had removed it.

Oh, that's why. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. And so good on him for doing the right, you know, taking it down because he went off the rails on it. Yeah. But... Seems like it.

He's substantially more controversial and one of the problems with jones now is that he's actually digging himself deeper doing these things like where he said he was going to eat his neighbors and stuff well no i mean we we just talked about it's like i think he was just saying that because i mean sure he's he's a vibrant person but at the same time it's like you're not going to eat your neighbors, man. Of course. You know, he's saying it because he knows people are going to spread it around. Exactly.

It did exactly that. Alex Jones was trending probably on Twitter. I mean, I'm not exactly sure, but yeah, he's putting himself out there. Same with what he just said, you know, with Joe Rogan. It's digging his hole deeper. Hmm. Because now... His conspiracy hole, you mean.

Well, no, I mean, like like he gets banned from all these platforms because he's lying no no just because he says controversial bombastic things so then in order to get more attention he gets even more controversial is that the word that's the word I can't hear the word bombastic bombastic yeah so there was a period after he started

getting banned where he started toning the rhetoric down because he used to say things like you know he almost said he was he was going to kill somebody but he was like i will i and then he stopped himself yeah because he gets really into that you know and he gets really excited and energetic and he's like oh i can't that's like that's really bad i can't say that but they definitely got him banned by taking a lot of things out of context and like taking his innuendo and and uh metaphors take literally yeah but he was more controversial i think he got banned just from from a pr campaign but anyway long story short youtube

i don't think they wanted to ban him no no he was making a lot of money that which was making them a lot of money they were getting yeah they were getting a huge chunk from all of the views from his audience and the only reason they reacted was because when the advertisers said we're pulling out they probably had a meeting it's like the fight club where he's like if the cost of a recall is right you know more than the cost of you know paying people out we don't pay it they probably had a meeting and they were like okay how much do we make off jones per month and they were probably it was probably in the millions some ridiculous number and then they're like and how much are we going to lose from the advertisers two million okay. Okay, ban him. That sucks. And then when

they find out he's going to go on Rogan, they're like, ooh, we'll catch some of this. It's going to be big. And then it's 17 million views. I don't even know how much money that is. It's probably hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yeah, hundreds of thousands of dollars. That's a lot of views. So,

I'm excited. I think the Spotify deal is going to be good things i i think so too it's great for us yeah we'll see what happens so we uh yeah yeah go back to super chats so i'm like halfway through you know i actually i want to point out i man i can't forget i forget who actually super chatted this but we were talking about batman versus superman yeah and it was a really interesting point so yesterday we were talking about it right so the point where he he takes the spear and he's about to stab superman someone suggested that what he was doing was realizing that he had become bad guy himself like that he actually wanted to kill superman not that he was just trying to prove something to him you know it was like and when

he said you know martha's name it kind kind of reminded him that he's human, that he has gone off the rails. So it kind of made a little more sense. You know what I mean? And they show, I think it's Jason Todd's Robin uniform, and it says, ha, ha, ha, the Joker, because the Joker killed, I think is what it was. Oh, okay. And so apparently there was supposed to be some, like, I don't know if there was supposed to be or there should have been, what people have said, explaining what made Batman turn so dark. Yeah.

Where he would actually consider killing somebody because the Joker killed Robin. Ah, okay. In that universe. In the movie. Oh, I didn't remember. No, this is canon. Yeah, yeah. In the movie, you see him walk up and look at the uniform of Robin with the Joker's graffiti on it.

So to fans, they saw that and they knew. Oh, it's a future where... And so it made him go... But the audience didn't get that. And so they really had an opportunity to do that moment where he throws the spear and says, You're not invincible. But you know, I get it. I get it.

I thought it was a cool premise. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is. I gotta watch that again. Where did you guys leave off? Were you having fun? We were having fun. Yeah, I got to be on camera.

It was very exciting. The Botox. Yeah, yeah, that's... James Wallace is the next one. All right. James Wallace says, Spotify sees YouTube shitting themselves in the foot.

Spotify is going for the crown. They are. They are. They are. We're going to have this period between September and until whenever it is that Joe does the full flip over. Yep. Where the competition will be heavy. Yeah. But, dude, this is going to be awesome, man.

I know. I agree. Because think about it this way. Even next year, YouTube, I'm going to put up a video, and YouTube's going to be like, hey, you can't say that name. And I'll be like, oh, all right, let me call Spotify real quick. And they'll be like, no, no, no, no, no, no. that name. And I'll be like, oh, all right. Let me let me call Spotify real quick. And no, no, no, no, no, no, no. All right. All right.

You can say it now, I guess. And, you know, actually, it's interesting. You pointed out because everyone's home right now in quarantine, everyone's watching us. But I've also noticed everybody's doing podcasts. I know, you know, all these celebrities are doing their own podcast now. They're not going to have the time to do these podcasts. You know, we're going to stay here. We're we're doing the show, you know,. They're not going to have the time to do these podcasts. We're going to stay here.

We're doing the show. So we're going to be around. So I think it's about the same. I don't know. I just thought about that. People are going to stop doing podcasts and go back to work and do their normal, whatever they're doing normally. I've already seen as the lockdowns start to ease. So when the lockdown started, my podcast numbers went down.

And that's podcasts not youtube youtube numbers went up and then down and then up because it really just it's like the news right because they were fiddling with the algorithm i think but uh podcast numbers podcast numbers went down by like 30 and i was like whoa you know why people weren't driving in their cars anymore they're in the car they press play they drive listening to it as they drive things have started spiking again everything revenue's coming back views are coming back everything's coming back it's getting good

but yeah there's like Ricky Gervais has been doing live streams so it's like you got everybody doing live streams and shows

and podcasts and that's gonna go away when this lifts he's a funny guy he is he's awesome but we'll see we'll see when it lifts

I think you can see it in the metrics going away now okay you know i can see like everything's starting to improve i can't wait to go bowling i'm gonna wait to go see a movie or something and just chill at a restaurant yeah all right let's see well uh wolf and kin says i heard that spotify are in bed with the adl and the splc so is youtube i wouldn be surprised. But I think the competition will best all of that. You got to understand about YouTube censorship is that where can anyone go? Nowhere. So these organizations go to YouTube and say, ban this person, their hate speech. YouTube has no excuse when the stories come out and saying they wouldn't do it. What's going to happen now is like I said,

that cost benefit analysis, that cost risk analysis. YouTube's going to happen now is, like I said, that cost-benefit analysis, that cost-risk analysis, YouTube's going to be sitting there and have a meeting. Okay, we want to ban Alex Jones. How much money do we make? We make, you know, a million bucks a month. Okay, how much do we lose in advertising if he goes away? We're going to lose two million. And then what happens?

And then a bunch of other creators are going to jump ship with him to the other platform. And they're going to go. And they're going to, the cost analysis will... Add more people. Yeah, and they'll lose way more. Or they'll say, we lose the money, but Spotify gains the money. And then YouTube is going to be like, and what's our projections? Well, Spotify is growing at X percentage per year.

If we start losing our audience to them by censoring people. Yeah. Take a look at TikTok. When TikTok started getting complaints for hate speech, you know what they did? They banned the people being bullied not the bullies oh that's right i remember that so there's a easy way to explain it there's a fat woman so weird does it does a tiktok a bunch of people start mocking the person for being fat so tiktok banned the fat girl not the people attacking her because they said why would we ban the 300 people

instead of the one person yeah it makes more sense not morally i was i was just thinking makes sense to them monetarily maybe made the most money right so i think right now because youtube has no competition yeah they're not concerned about losing but if you have spotify dominating the podcast market you have youtube losing a large chunk of its mature audience which it desperately needs youtube so the secret is if you're a 34 year old male you are the power that's what youtube and and fox and cnn are desperately trying to get 34 year old men that's the that's the that's the golden you know identity or whatever the key demographic is like 20, 28 to like 35. That's what they're aiming for.

If YouTube, now they are going to lose Rogan, they're probably sitting there thinking like, hmm, how many people are going to go with them? What's that going to do to us? How much more are we going to have to spend subsidizing this? And then if Spotify ends up winning this battle, what do we have left? Spotify is going to host videos.

They did in the past. They're going to do it in the future. Yep. So I think you're going to start seeing some healthy competition. Yes. Yay. I'm excited for it. I'm stoked, too. I'm glad it's happening.

Yeah, it sounds good. It's the video push, man. Jason says, it's so weird to see the progressives fighting for shutdown and the conservatives fighting for opening. Historically, it's the other way around. Yeah, everything seems to flip. It doesn't make sense anymore. Dim Sum Nim Sum says, I think I think how strictly you said not to say Voldemort's name really sink in with Joe. But I don't think I don't think he realized how bad it was when I told him on the show. You can't say this name. Yeah. So I just told him I was like, you realize that Rand Paul was on the Senate floor.

Saying this guy's name. Having nothing to do with the context of impeachment. Right. And they banned C-SPAN. That's nuts. Like, I don't think, you know, but, you know, Joe is concerned about censorship. Yeah. And I think he's seeing it more and more.

Like, it's really, he didn't realize when he had Jack Dorsey on what was going on yeah and then he saw people like saying all the stuff and it was like whoa what is this you know what did i miss he's a comedian man he's an ma comment commentator so he's not in the politics he is but not the same as you know like i would be so yeah i think it did i think it did you know mean something but i i also imagine he's been working on this deal for a long time i mean come on yeah like the scale of the deal yeah exactly size of his imagine he's been working on this deal for a long time. I mean, come on. Like the scale of the deal. Yeah, exactly. The size of his show. He's probably had a bunch of lawyers. Agreed.

Crip Crack Attack says, Rogan today, let's hope that PewDiePie is next. PewDiePie on Spotify? Maybe. If Spotify starts doing videos, man, that would be... How many million followers does PewDiePie have? 100. Yeah.

I've never seen a PewDiePie video. I like it. They're pretty good. He just kind of does his thing. He's just PewDiePie,? 100. I've never seen a PewDiePie video. They're pretty good. He just kind of does his thing. He's just PewDiePie, you know? Cool. So he's done some really, really good videos. He's done some philosophy videos, too.

Yeah, he did one on stoicism I still have to watch. You haven't seen a video on stoicism? I know, I'm way behind. But you're so stoic. Did you remind everybody they had to smash that like button? I did. Excellent. I did. YouTube's broken right now. I button? I did. Excellent. I did.

YouTube's broken right now. I can't see it. Yeah. We actually, you didn't know this, but we hit 18,000 people today. Dude, we did. Yeah. What? We hit 18K.

We hit 18. We're at almost 16 right now. Really? Yeah. What are you guys doing? They're hanging out with the coolest podcast on YouTube. It's because we're talking about Alex Jones and Joe Rogan. No.

Well, maybe. Maybe. Or we're just cool. Well, hey, man, guess what? Those 2,000 people who left just missed that. They did. They missed the secret information we just got. I was surprised.

I was like, did Joe not mention this before? No, I guess. I don't know. To me, that's huge. It's cool. You guys got the inside information right when he got back. As we heard it, you heard it. I had to ask Joe.

I was like, wait. I was like, that's on the record. He's like, yeah, bro. Yeah. I'm like, what? I'm like, all right. Like, while everybody's getting demonetized, that's crazy, man. Yeah, that is interesting.

Man, a heads up. Yeah, this one's good. All the ranting, all the crazy, all of the stuff. Wow, man. Yeah, they wanted a piece of that money. They did. Because that's a lot of money. They were like, yeah, we'll make that money.

Lou Bella says, West Virginia could use the revitalization you bring. West Virginia could use the revitalization you bring. And its topography makes it easy to social distance, but also contributes to its insular culture. Internet is also spotty across the state. I've done some checks on West Virginia. There are so many people trying to influence where you move. But I do want to be close to where we already are. I agree.

I would like that, too. Yeah. The meme on Rogan's subreddit is RoganWorld. RoganWorld? He has this big deal. now he can do whatever. He can build a city. Go make a spot somewhere. You know what people end up doing?

Sounds awesome, though. These are the things that I won't know having talked to him. There's certain questions you don't ask about a person's personal life. Something like that. Most people do boring stuff. No disrespect to him or Elon or anybody else. I guess Elon's building spaceships, so he's one of the few people doing crazy stuff. I'm not trying to, you know, it's no disrespect to him or Elon or anybody else. I guess Elon's building spaceships, so he's one of the few people doing crazy stuff. That's not really boring, yeah.

But I think you can see what somebody does. And we know what Joe does. He's going to keep doing it. I don't think anything will change. Yeah. It's like Elon was building crazy stuff and then got money and started building more crazy stuff. Yeah. He makes flamethrowers and electric cars, you know.

Yeah. It'd be cool, though. All right. Napalm says what if democrats are keeping the lockdown to ruin the economy and blame trump while social media and mainstream news censors and covers for the dnc to prevent them from being blamed for the economy too grandiose of a conspiracy for me i do think they're uh first and foremost scared of being blamed for it and i think some of them do see an opportunity to exploit this for personal gain and I think some of them do see an opportunity to exploit this for personal gain.

And I think the media just falls in line. That's it. The media is just like, whatever the Democrats say, you know, that's what's popular with our audience. Yep, seems that way. SMU says, Tim, the reason you might have been wrong about the 2018 midterm results

was because you are ignoring the fact that the Mueller probe was dragging on through that. Not your predictions. You were still spot on. That's a really good point. Now, at the time, a lot of people may have believed the Mueller stuff was real and then came out to vote.

And now that it's gone, people might not care. Yeah, it's true. Jeff Hardesty says, if you use the horseshoe theory, the far left and right are both adjacent to the far right. Not related to today's show, but I thought it was funny. It is.

Zachary Tietjen, Spotify is owned by Google, according to Jimmy Dore. Is that true? I don't know if that's true. I don't know if that's true either. Yeah, they wouldn't be competing. That wouldn't make sense. But I don't know. Isn't Spotify a Swedish company?

I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Wax, thanks for becoming a member. Thank you. Graf Fonteros says, at this point, I've long accepted Spotify as a lesser evil. YouTube is getting worse, and I managed to join a promo where I got free Hulu quite a while back. Hey, cool. I mean, competition, that's all that matters.

They can both be evil, but as long as they're forced to compete with each other, then it's going to be better for everybody. Aaron says, I feel like Barney from How I Met Your Mother was the catalyst for making Cobra Kai. Interesting. I love that show. It's a great show andrew says as a fairly right-wing person your policies that may land on the left help me avoid confirmation bias i may not agree 100 but your fairness and journalistic integrity are what keeps me watching i appreciate it thank you mark says mind over matter is very real but hard to achieve john damsey says love Love you. Keep it up. I will. Thank you. We all will. The Hylian Juggalo.

Good on Joe. I hope the Vinesauce people leave Twitch soon. They're the only people on there worth watching. Olivia says, Thanks for truth. You listen every day and Alkaline Trio. Awesome. Alkaline Trio's great. Mark says,

AK-47 is the best gun. Main reason? Aliens don't invade. Perhaps. Okay. Chisholm says, AK-47 is the best gun. Main reason, aliens don't invade. Perhaps. Okay. Chisholm says, two docs are grossly inaccurate. I'll send that, too. Maybe the two doctors that were talking about the invasion of California. Oh, right, right, right.

So I think if your numbers are accurate on how many people we've had, it might get really difficult to go through all the superchats at this point. Yeah, that's a lot. Oh, no, we're good. We're okay. Yeah, no, let's just rock them out uh you don't have that much time left so zai yen says how much how much money for a beanie list stream i think the last number was 500,000 yep 500,000 a million yep half a mil magic man says youtube is china centric i will not be

surprised outlaw bear says safer advertisers means big pharma friendly. Who else buys ads on CNN or Fox? Those commercials where they're like, is Florboestra good for you? Contact your doctor and ask him. Those commercials, they're so weird, right? They're so weird. And then they do all the side effects and this little diarrhea

blah blah blah blah blah blah and it's like, what? What does that even mean? You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, they'll give you the side effect of death, by the way. This might kill you. Oh, yes. And also, your eyes will bleed.

Your skin might fall off in some areas. But don't worry. It'll stop you from having a heartburn. It's like, what? What's funny about them, though, is why would I, without any prompt, just randomly call my doctor and be like, is Florboestra right for me? And he's going to be like, no, no, it's for like 80-year-olds. Or yes, because doctors get paid by those people, too. Yeah, that's true.

I don't know if that's still a thing. I'm pretty sure it's still a thing, though. When I first got to California, I was on the Venice boardwalk, and some guy stopped me, and he was yelling, weed card, weed card. And he was like, yo, bro, bro, come here, come here. And I was bored. I had nothing to do. So I was like, what up? And he's like, you got your weed card yet? And I was like, no, what is that? Like for weed, like medicinal marijuana, man, it's legal. And I was like, no, no, I don't. And he goes, but you're like sick, right? And I was like, no, I'm actually okay. He's like, no, but you're not a doctor. You can't say that. You don't know. You got to see our doctor.

And I was like, but I got nothing to see the doctor about. And he goes, your feet hurt? And I was like, well. Did he stomp on your foot? No, I was skateboarding. I was like, well, like not right now. And he was like, they hurt sometimes, right? And I was like, bro, you see me holding a skateboard.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not a doctor. I'm not a doctor. Oh, my gosh. Like, your feet hurt sometimes? I was like, you better see our doctor about a skateboard. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not a doctor. I'm not a doctor. Oh, my gosh. Like, your feet hurt sometimes? I was like, you better see our doctor about that. He's like, five bucks, you get a weed card, you can buy weed.

And I'm like, all right, dude. I'm going to walk away. I thought it was hilarious, though. Oh, that's funny. He's right, though. I'm not a doctor. Yeah. I think I know why my feet are hurting, though.

It's like I finish a session, you know. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I do miss skating the Venice. Venice is great. I love it. It's like I finished a session. Yeah. You know? Mm-hmm. Yeah. I do miss skating the Venice. Venice is great. I love it. It's a great place to skate. Cameron says, have five bucks.

I would give more, but need to pay the king's tax to the alphabet boys to exercise my rights. Unfortunate. Okay. V. Sidious says, consider Florida for your move. Coast's not as hot as you'd think and never a shortage of news, especially with Florida man. Florida man not drinking and driving just at stop signs. Still a favorite. We lived in Florida. We did. No dice.

No thank you. Swimming in the air. It was really cool when we had thunderstorms. I have some good memories. I have some bad memories. It's like living in a jungle with a thunderstorm was cool. Like the amount of rain that poured down was insane. But yeah, 100 degrees and max humidity, I'll pass. Oh, I have huge news.

Did we mention the beanies yet? No. No. We may actually have these beanies. Those exact beanies, everybody. With those beanies. Custom symbols available directly through the YouTube

store. So I'm waiting for confirmation. I was told by someone working in this system, I'm trying to be vague, saying, I think we can source these and get everything ready and good to go for you. We'll let you know by next week. They said, we can let you know by tomorrow.

We'll try to do our best. It might be next week. And I was like, the sooner the better. I was like, because we're going to sell 50,000 of these overnight. Overnight. I'm kidding. But I explained to them what we were looking for. sooner the better i was like because we're going to sell you know 50 000 of these overnight overnight i'm kidding but uh i explained to them what we were looking for and they they were like here's what we have available and i said i'd rather get it perfect and they said maybe we can actually

source a custom product and i was like if you do this you do this fast it's on and they were like you got it that'd be so cool cool so then it would just be like a link under the video you'd see the beanie just click the beanie on the video and boom you get one yeah that would be so cool. Cool. So then it would just be like a link under the video. You'd see the beanie. You just click the beanie on the video and boom, you get one. Yeah. That would be awesome. That would be awesome. Yeah. Grant says, along with the Canadian government's goal of monopoly force with their OIC firearm ban,

we have police upgrading their armaments to 300 blackout in Quebec. Meanwhile, we've banned more airsoft gear. Yeah. Mr. Schwagon says, everyone needs to wear a mask in public via public fiat for everyone's safety. Wait, is that a hijab? How dare you treat women like that? Didactic says,

I believe Joe is fighting censorship. If Spotify opens their video platform for smaller creators, this can change everything and be a serious threat to YouTube. Spotify is open for smaller creators. This camera. You can actually very easily

get your show on Spotify and everyone should do it. So I use Buzzsprout, which is an RSS-like podcasting service. Okay. And it very easily explains to you how to get on iTunes, how to get on Google, how to get on Spotify. But puts them out there for you on all of them? You just got to link everything? What it does is it shows you how you sign up. Okay.

And then Spotify approves you. it takes like less than a day and then the hosting service i use uh puts my like what spotify does is it calls to the link from my my provider okay but what so you if you go to spotify open the app and go to podcast and scroll down you'll see the tim pool daily show i don't know if tipcast irl is there yet because we get a lot less views on the IRL. Yeah. We get a lot of views on YouTube. YouTube is like 20 to 30 times more views, like, in my experience. Podcast is weird.

It's funny because there are a lot of people I see who get ridiculously huge podcast downloads, but nothing on YouTube. Just different markets, I guess. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Hudson says, Ethan Klein and Pokimane have engaged in sponsor shaming, which will drive more content creators away from YouTube

in light of Rogan's move to Spotify. Really? What's going on? I'll have to look that up. I don't know about it. Jamie, thanks for the super chat. Jason says, YouTube BPG website is full of prawn ads. Yep. Mark O'Brien says, Alex Jones is on shortwave radio sometimes. Really?

Dwayne says, YouTube is trying to be them tube. Users will not stick around for them tube. We can get TV reposts on Hulu if we want them. Bingo. Yeah. Eggman says, Metacafe gang, where we at? Jeff at Large, check out I wear my face mask in my

car. Corey Hart song parody at media bear YouTube channel. Hilarious. Is it like why I wear my sunglasses at night? Justin O'Toole mentions that the Georgia man who filmed Ahmaud Arbery has been charged for murder and attempt. He says false imprisonment, but I believe it's attempted false imprisonment. That's crazy. Just filmed it. He was just filming it.

But they're arguing he was an accomplice, I guess. Man, I don't believe in... I don't think justice matters when the public opinion is angry. Yeah, that whole thing, man. JV says, 32-year-old male here. Thanks for the after-dinner entertainment. You got it. Woo-hoo.

Oddball Gaming says, hey, Tim, you are now my MSM. This podcast is now quote-unquote morning news. Yay. To work and first hour on the clock heading to the economic front. Appreciate it, man. That's cool. Right on. Stanley Desart says, bro, I've been waiting for a move like Joe to shift the power dynamics of the monopoly YouTube has. If it didn't have such a strong hold on video content, it'd be gone. I pray censorship bites them. It's all about the partnership program, man. That is everything. Yep. If there was a platform that

said we will pay you like a CPM, people would be like, I'm there. But YouTube's the only one where it's like, you can have a career here. Yeah. And it's because they have a stranglehold on it. Soob says, hey guys, huge fan here. Keep up the great work. Tim, did you know that your second channel isn't allowing people to hit the notification bell for kids content? Wait.

Wait, what does that mean? I don't know what that means. It shouldn't be kids content anyway. Hit the notification bell for kids content? What? Off the look into it. No idea. Wait. Wait, what does that mean? I don't know what that means. It shouldn't be kids content anyway. Hit the notification bell for kids content? What? Off a look into it. No idea. Huh.

D14 says, Ubisoft terms of service change. Lady Lydia, pull it up, please. It's a huge breach of service and overreach. Tim, you have the power to bring to light. We will take a look into it. Yeah, I don't know anything about it. Yeah. Sean Moore says, I'm a 30-year-old male.

Ten years ago, I was at Occupy. Tim, you might remember me. I was the guy who worked there but still ate the free protest pizzas. I don't remember. I apologize. Mark Robertshaw says, so YouTube is trying to be like a newspaper. Apparently so. Student of History.

The sun is about 400 times the size of the moon, but the moon is 400 times closer to us. That's how they look the same. We get eclipse. Also, sometime in the future, we're going to lose the moon, and the sun will eat us. Yep. One inch a year. I forgot what it's called. It's a simulator for space.

Okay. It's one of the most fun games ever. Cool. Yeah, you can just like... Is it on a computer? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have it on my other computer. Oh, okay.

And it's on Steam. And it's probably called like solar system simulation or something. People probably pointed it out. Sounds like fun. I make Earth spin really, really fast. Yeah, and just like... And then I increase the temperature and see what happens and decrease it. And then if you increase the temperature too much, it explodes.

Oh, wow. It's fun. Is it like realistic, though? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like watching move, and you can speed things up, and you can speed up the orbit of Earth, and then watch it get slingshotted off

our solar system, and then just start drifting away. That's awesome. And then as it gets further away, you see the temperature start dropping rapidly, and then it turns to ice or something. Oh, cool. But I always like... The fun is you can turn the sun into a black hole. You're just increasing the mass, and then all of a sudden it just grows and grows and blows up.

Just drops in on itself. And then everything, yeah, it's a fun game. Cool. I want to check that out. It's fun. Yeah, thanks for sending that our way, though. Yeah. The statistics.

Universe Simulator, I think it's called. Is that what it is? Universe Sandbox? Universe Sandbox 2, someone says. Oh, maybe there's another one. It's like, I'm going to move the sun over here, and then all the planets just go straight in other directions that's because there's no longer anything to orbit yeah that's cool ryan varro says do you have a faraday cage for the bug for the bug out van only thing in the world i'm worried about is solar outbursts

no but i'll get a big microwave and then i'll put a little microwave in it yeah that that's a good point that they there could be a solar flare that could just knock us off i saw um one of the largest solar flares recorded and its size comparison compared to the earth so if the earth is this big it was like this big yeah and it was like whoa so if that hit us i mean didn't we have one of those in like the 1800s i don't know but it was before we had a big electrical grid. Yeah. Before we heavily relied on technology. Yep. Who knows?

Stanley says, I'm gone from YouTube ASAP. I hate YouTube. Yeah. STFU says, fun video rabbit hole. San Juan Island pig war. It was the only war in the history of the U.S. that resulted in the loss of territory by the U.S. Really? Interesting.

Maxim says, don't ever stop what you're doing we are the revolution and you are leading it i'm a dude in his room complaining on the internet about his feelings but if you want to call me the leader of revolution i'll take it i suppose blaine says bitcoin is going to skyrocket to a hundred thousand by the end of 2021 time to buy is now i was thinking about it i so. But I also think that it's exactly what, like, the conspiracy theorists don't understand how good Bitcoin is for the global, you know, Illuminati, whatever they think it is. Okay. A system where every transaction can be traced. Yeah.

Yeah. So they have to know your address. Yeah. They'll have an AI or not even an AI, just a computer that can calculate all of the different movements. They'll easily, using metadata, identify you. And then they'll know everything you spend all your money on. And, of course, we just talked about a solar flare that could technically erase all of the Bitcoins. It's like, oh, suddenly there's no electronics anymore.

Sci-fi fight club ending. The poles just shifted because of this major solar flare and now we have to rebuild everything now we have no money yeah who knows brewmaster says speaking of being censored i have been told to read write plenty of my super chats because they tip off filters the comments in question are based and non uh and nose pilled related yeah uh i've had people mention that in Super Chat several times. Certain words don't appear. I actually tried Super Chatting when we were on the road.

Yeah. And I said something like, don't touch my effing UFO because you moved it. And it didn't come up. I totally moved it. Yeah. It wouldn't let me swear. Oh, interesting. That would have been fun to get a comment by. Yep.

Graf Von Tyrrell says, imagine that. A time when going to Vice was a big deal. It's a real shame they don't have anything like those old documentaries anymore. Yeah, maybe they will in the future. Scientist Salarian says, Tim, you should move to North Alabama. Huntsville suburbs have NASA, Space and Rocket Center, Redstone, Arsenal, and it is literally eighth safest county in country.

Everyone is so friendly, and we could jam. We will see where we end up. But of course, everybody wants me to go, you know. John Wall says, have you guys heard of the Wikipedia Hitler game? You click the random article button on the left and then use the links in the articles to go to other Wikipedia articles until you get to Hitler. And it's like six links gets you there every time. Six degrees of Hitler? Yeah.

Yep. It's like every single time, no matter what, it brings you there. What? That's crazy. It's weird. Try it right now on your computer. Eh, I'm good. Bane Trump says, the guy that was ripped was on roids and could not do a PCT once he was hospitalized.

That's why he lost so much weight. No juicing in hospital either. That does make a lot of sense. That makes sense. Kite the Twin Blade says, a la South Park, I'm going to decline that software update. Bob Gett says, you can already track who you have come into contact with through their cell phones.

Look up Brendan O'Connor creepy DOL work. It's similar to some work I've been doing lately. Interesting. Mark G says, Adam, you might be reading the wrong notes, I think. Go to settings general software updates learn more and it's the third paragraph love the show interesting i that's exactly where i was i still have it open actually right here let's see a third paragraph no no i mean maybe because you have an older phone yeah maybe maybe it can't maybe it's oh you know what

i think you have the seven yeah it doesn't have nfc what's that near field communications that might be it yeah but maybe not i'd imagine they would use bluetooth or something yeah i don't know yeah let's see uh cory says when does soy jesus ride at the head of 10 000 vegan saints to pass judgment on the fake news and censorship of the world oh man i think that's one of the biggest things that that differentiate me being a vegan from most vegans people like the stereotypical vegan i don't pass judgment i mean i obviously that's what this show is is us judging everything but complaining but like no i don't judge people for what they eat as far as like you can eat whatever you want like whatever it's not going to affect me i'm not going to get triggered because you're a meat eater there's authoritarian veganism it's like okay eat a steak fine i my dad makes the best steaks ever

i don't eat steak right now but i can still say that like whatever okay yeah you can go on the political compass but uh authoritarian or authoritarian they'll add vegan to the political compass somewhere yeah i'm more of like uh i'm more like his his like main general you know that happens to be vegan. Because you're the leader. So the other super jet just said you're the leader of the revolution. I'll be sitting in the back on a golden throne with an angry scowl on my face. Okay.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You don't want to become the villain, though, man. No, no, no. Hold on, hold on. And then there's going to be two Pegasi. How do you... Pegasuses? I think that's it. Pegasi.

Pegasi. Pegasi. How do you Pegasuses? I think that's it. Pegasi. Pegasi. Yeah. And they're going to have like, you know, harnesses that both go up together. And you're going to be having one foot on each of them with a sword in one hand. You're going to be riding and there's going to be like, you know, the Valkyrie coming in. Awesome. All right. All right.

Now that is a picture I want to see. Huh? Somebody hook me up. Jonathan Young says, I've had recommendations for this channel all day. I've never had recommendations for your channel that I can remember. Something happened, man. Well, we got that checkmark. Yeah, we got a checkmark.

I wonder if this Joe Rogan thing has spooked YouTube. I got you, chat. Dude, didn't we just get the check the other day? Last night. And that's the same day Rogan made the announcement. Was it? It was the day. Or was it last night? No, it might have same day rogan made the announcement was it it was the day it was early it was was it last night no might have been two nights ago i don't know yeah just we just

noticed last night i like wait a minute what somebody said whoa did they just get that yeah around the same time all i can say is rogan announces a spotify thing i wonder if they want to make it official somebody you guys are official imagine this like don't leave us you see imagine like you're watching a movie and it starts with a guy that's funny and he's you see him at a phone booth yeah phone booths exist and then he hangs up and he goes my god and then he's running and he's got like manila folders and he's wearing like a blue button up with a tie and papers are flying out and he's running as fast as he can and then it's like the scene change shows him he runs in the building he storms in he runs the elevator hits the button and then he's like the scene change shows him. He runs in the building. He storms in. He runs to the elevator. He hits the button. And then he's like, which floor is Susan at?

And they're like, what? Susan, which floor? And they're like, 17. And he's like, he's hitting the button. He gets up and he runs and he slams a thing down. It's a newspaper. And it says, Rogan to Spotify. And she goes, how much time do we have?

And he's like, I don't know. Months? And then she goes, verify as many commentary channels as you can. That's funny. If only. Although I have a great imagination. There was a missed opportunity there with the elevator music. I was expecting a little break of maybe a little Spanish flea or something.

Nice. There you go. Scientist Salarian. Thanks for the super chat. Michelle Mybell says, Looking at my 13.5 update and it does say COVID-19 contact tracing yeah and now the face id will know what you look like oh so my my phone doesn't have face id yeah it was my phone is just prior yes i love my phone it's time to downgrade or stay where my phone is hope yeah you're good you're gonna last me forever

i mean i'm good they send me ads all the time like get the new phone and i'm like why my phone is. You're good. You're going to last me forever. I mean, I'm good. They send me ads all the time like, get the new phone. And I'm like, why? My phone's great. I'm good. I don't need a new phone. James Wallace says, Tim and Adam and Lydia, does a VPN block the new iOS tracking app asking for a friend? I hope so.

For your friend. I don't think so. I doubt it though, yeah. Who knows? If you used a VPN, what it basically does is it sends your data through an encrypted tunnel before reaching the web so it like gives you a shield and anonymity it can it can help random like anonymize your data yeah but if they know your date your device's information it doesn't matter if it goes through a tunnel to the internet they know your devices they know where it is right yeah yeah you're still getting a phone signal from somewhere to that point. Yeah. Scientist Salarian says,

I am the very model of a scientist Salarian. I've studied species Turian, Asari, and Batarian. I am the very model of a scientist Salarian. If you guys know this song and understand my names, props. I don't. No? Anybody? Sorry. I'm a little bummed that none of us know it. Is it a song that a major model of a modern major general song or whatever?

No, I don't know. That's it. Yeah. I have no idea. All right. Well, we'll have to move on from that. Bane Trump says, ripped guy was on roids and could not keep judging. Oh, did this duplicate?

I think it duplicated. Graf von Tiro says, encouraging news on the Barber's legal challenge against the tyrannical Karens of Michigan. Time to celebrate this occasion with a UFO spin. Did you spin it for him? I just spun it. That's weird. No, I didn't spin it for you, but I will spin it for you. He's making the request. You know what?

We have to do it. You make a super chat to spin. We're going to spin. It's going to fly off into the atmosphere. Ella Bella says, we already have the COVID safe app in Australia. It wasn't mandatory, but they sent messages to people asking them to download it. Australia is really going crazy in the pandemic. Wow.

Got it really spinning for you. Brian says, yay, AdamCast has returned. Oh, this is right around the time I was like, my phone rang and it said Joe Rogan. You were like, peace. I was almost going to not answer because I was like, no, it's Joe Rogan. You got to answer Joe Rogan. No, no, no, no. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes, yes.

No. Yes. We're doing a show. We're doing a show. We're doing a show. We are at work. How unprofessional of you. And it rang. And I had to think, am I going to jump off this show where we've got all these people watching, relying on. There was like 17,000 people at that point.

I know. And my phone rang and I was like, take the super chats. I'm surprised a lot of people. There was a big take the super chats. I'm surprised a lot of people, there was a big drop there, but people knew you were waiting for, you were trying to listen to Joe, you didn't say it, I actually

said it, but obviously it was Joe Rogan. Yeah, and then we found the inside scoop. It was cool. It's not that exciting. Life's never that exciting. Life is exciting. Let's make it exciting. You know, I always tell people. Life is exciting.

Let's make it exciting. What did I do? I took George Carlin's saying. What is it? The think about how stupid the average person is. Right. And what I said on the show before was think about how boring life is. Yeah. Now realized half of the news stories have been sensationalized and it's even more boring than you realize.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Cord Funk says when you erase history than you realize. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Alright, Cordfunk says, when you erase history, you are doomed to repeat it. Absolutely. Logan Porter says, you guys should release an album for your songs titled The Beanie Bros. It's complicated.

Also, thanks for what you guys do. I really appreciate it. Thank you. For sure. Cool. Neocarbon says, planned obsolescence. They will slowly cripple your old phone with updates, making it slow and unusable and force you to buy a new phone with a new update. And I'm pretty sure that Apple had to settle a lawsuit or something about this. Right.

Yeah. Because they were doing it on purpose. Yep. Yep. K98 Killer says, Adam, have you looked into score voting slash score runoff voting, possibly only way to fix our broken democracy? Equal vote slash science. I haven't. I should check that out.

We'll check it out. Mark says, Sounds like a good night. Yeah. Sarah Hill says, Does China own YouTube? The censorship and manipulation of search results seems to lead to such a conclusion. They just need healthy competition.

That's it. Yeah, who knows? Deplorable Pirate Captain Gunbeard. A point no one has mentioned. The longer blue states say lockdown the more wealth and power transfer to red red states this is what i don't understand they're propping up the red states someone someone pointed this out in super chats earlier they're like how are how are all the taxes tax revenue from businesses they're gonna lose that yep don't

they realize they're demanding a bailout from the federal government. Where's that money coming from? Trump said no. That's also taxes. It's a circular system. Like, what? It doesn't make sense. The red states are going to come out of this clean and prosperous. Yes, they are. That's crazy, man.

It's true. Let's see. Poma says, guys, why are you so optimistic and overconfident about all this Rogan leaving stuff? Even Joe's 9 million audience is just a raindrop in an ocean of active users on this cursed platform. YouTube is no longer interested in independent creators, even the biggest ones. I think we kind of answered that already. It's the spirit of competition.

Competition breeds development. Look at just technology in general. We were talking about, I think yesterday, Europe had competition over land. So they advanced so much faster technologically, you know, like versus the Americas. They didn't, they just moved. There was so many, so much land.

They just kept moving around, you know, and you could see the spike. It's a, I mean, it's a little loose comparison. In the animal kingdom, the more freedom of movement an animal has, the less likely it is to be aggressive. So birds don't fight for the most part. They just leave. Yeah, just fly away. But badgers are aggressive because they're burrow animals. So when they get into a conflict, they have one direction they can move.

So they'll fight you. It's ingrained. I'm optimistic. I am too. I think now it's going to come to a point like we mentioned earlier where youtube is only weighing the negative press hey we're gonna lose money from this yep now they're gonna have to weigh we're gonna lose money spotify is gonna take it from us yes and then they're gonna beat us to the finish line yep and that's and spotify is gonna get more powerful more popular

they don't want that and it's not even about independent creators because i agree youtube doesn't really care but it's going to be look Joe Rogan may be independent, but he's a world famous comedian. Yeah. Imagine if, you know, Netflix is trying to buy these world famous comedians. Do a special. We'll give you all this money. Like, you know, Dave Chappelle got a ridiculous amount of money for his special. He did like, you know, I think I don't know how many specials.

It was like three. Yeah, I think. And so now YouTube can't get access to that. YouTube wants to be Netflix. I know because a Google employee told me this to my face. I was in the Google HQ several years ago. And they said, our main competition is Netflix. We are losing views to Netflix.

They want Netflix. That makes sense, yeah. So they have an opportunity. But if they start censoring their independent creators, and Joe Rogan, who they want because they want to be Netflix, decides to leave because of it. Yeah. Then they have to do right by the smaller creators. We'll see. We'll see.

Steve Fernald says, do you guys do any of you grow your own vegetables? Hot peppers. Yeah, we do. We are growing our own vegetables right now. We have a whole little garden. We actually have a bunch of strawberries right now. Radishes. We have tomatoes. We pulled up all our radishes. I think we've already eaten those.

We have carrots. I have peas, and we have potatoes. Wow. I would like to do peppers, too, though. That'd be fun. And onions. We've got some onions going. Yeah, we got green onions. We did have a bunch of peppers, and then someone tried to pickle them, and they pickled them improperly yeah yeah yeah the great uh death throne we need uncensored reporting like this keep it up i support you thank you very much all right ryan rosti says people need to learn about blockchain and crypto it will set us free anything can be secure and

private without centralization and third parties. The power will be in the hands of the people. Absolutely. I'm going to take a quick stop and say, if you haven't already, make sure you're following me on Instagram and Twitter for, you know, my usual shenanigans. But follow Adam as well, at Adam Krigler, because you can send him story ideas and requests, and then we actually pick them up for the show. So, again, at Adam Krigler, at Timcast, and then you can follow at Sour Patch Lids with a Y.

It's right there. L-Y-D-S. And smash that like button. Smash it. Smash it. Gently. It does help. If we're dealing...

Smash it gently. You know, if things are going to start improving on this network, on YouTube, if things are getting better, then hopefully the likes really do help. I think they do. But more importantly, shares.

Yeah, please share. You can censor somebody all you want, but if YouTube's trying to shadow ban and people are sharing that link, that's what I asked for when my video got shadow banned. I said, just share this video. Don't let them do that. It worked. Nice. The video ended up doing normal. I watched the views come back because people were like, share this video.

Awesome. Right on. Awesome. Right on. Dion says, which one would you pick if you could ride a dinosaur, a triceratops, or a tamed raptor? Triceratops. Raptors are the size of chickens, I believe.

Oh, they're that small? Yeah. They're tiny. Oh. I'm pretty sure raptors are tiny. Triceratops, though. Yeah. Definitely.

And I also think they're from dramatically different time periods, too. Oh, yeah? Like tens of millions of years apart. Cool. I don't know enough about dinosaurs, I guess. Sorry I ruined your fun joke.

Joshua says, Millennial Matt circumcised Tim Pool's four beanie. That he did. Okay. Angel Rodriguez says, Adam, the Star Wars edits are from George Lucas. He edited the movie to be different multiple times. There are multiple versions of the first Star Wars, and we getting the mythical Soy Bowie tomorrow.

Mythical Soy Bowie? What is that? I don't know what that is, but... David Bowie? David Bowie version? Yes, I know who David Bowie is, but... You remember? They sent a picture of David Bowie wearing a dress? Huh. Oh, bringing back to the dress. Oh, yes. Soy Bow so a bow oh now it makes sense yeah there

you go um you guys are gonna have to start a petition for that that's gonna be at least half a million dollars i think don't you know i'm not probably not that much i'll wear a dress for a hundred thousand oh all right i think we're gonna have think we're going to have to speed things up, man. Yeah. Oh, wow. We're already over 15. Yeah, man. Oh, yeah, definitely.

I got to figure out because we just had a huge jump. So, I mean, this was a huge show. I really appreciate everyone showing up today. Thank you, guys. But we're going to have to skip your super chats. Unfortunately, if you're under a certain amount, we're going to move it along. I will be the first to say I'm sorry we do it this way, but it's kind of like the easiest and only way to really get through it. Yeah, sorry, everybody.

We get to a certain point, and I think it's around like once there's about 8,000 concurrent viewers, the live streams come in faster than we can actually read and comment on them. Yeah, exactly. And what ends up happening is we just speed read everything, and it's just not even worth it. So the easiest way to actually deal with it is I just start going for things that are 10 or more and then if people start giving people actually start then spending more it's like the same problem there's some hefty super chats so we got to get to those for sure it i don't i don't want i don't want to take away someone's right to speak simply because they weren't giving us all that money you know what i mean i hate how the system works but the unfortunate reality is you guys, we just get too many,

and we would not be able to read them in time. I did like a four-hour live stream once because they were coming in too much, and I was like, I'm going to read them all. And then eventually it got late in the night, and the views went down, and then I was like, okay, okay, I made it through. But we're going to speed up now, so I apologize to you guys for your super chats that we don't get to. Ellen Jones says, Tim and Alex are also Steven Crowder adjacent.

What would the odds be of Tim being on Alex's show as a guest or vice versa? Because I won't travel, probably not in studio or anything like that, but I did go on InfoWars a while ago, several years ago. Oh, cool. Phillip, thanks for becoming a member. Thank you. Scientist Salarian says, you guys ever listen to the band TV on the radio? Check out the albums Dear Science and Return to Cookie Mountain and songs DMZ, Wolf Like Me, and so many more.

They are for rocking black dudes. I like that band. They're good. Led Floyd O. Smith, Seriously, check out Huntsville, Alabama. Youthful vibe, cool music scene, lots of engineer science tech folks because of NASA and Redstone Arsenal. Cost effective, land building

is easy. It's a cool place. Isn't Alabama muggy also though? Yep. But that actually does sound like a good idea. It'd be cool to be really close to NASA engineers because we could do crazy stuff. Like I want to do a channel. I would love to be more involved in science and space and stuff. I have an idea. I have an idea.

Do you have an idea? I have an idea. Just one idea? One. Okay. And if you guys want to steal this idea, okay, make sure you do this under the supervision of professionals. And I recommend only engineers. So do not do this at home. But here's my idea. We take objects and we electrocute them.

But the voltage or whatever is determined by the amount of viewers or likes or shares or something so basically you have like a thousand viewers you're getting a certain amount of volts going through the object and then people watch and then over time they're going to be like share this we need to get more viewers we need to get more viewers and then you end up with like i think that's a good idea that we should probably do short circuit the block that sounds like fun so there's challenges with like power consumption do safety. Do not do this at home unless you're a professional. But then you'd eventually

get to the point where like the watermelon like you've got like, you know, it's electric and then it blows up. And the first show will be a watermelon.

Things will be electrifying. Yeah, yeah. Fried watermelon. You know, I got the idea because of the hydraulic press channel. And I'm like,

what are other things you could do that people like there's the flaming hot nickel ball where they torches it and they put it on something. There's a hydraulic press and I'm like, well, what things you could do that people, like there's the flaming hot nickel ball where they torches it and they put it on something. There's a hydraulic press. And I'm like, well, what happens when you electrocute stuff?

You know? All right. Sounds good. I'm not an electrical engineer. I don't know much about voltage and amperage and all that stuff. But you'd see the numbers and then, you know, it'd be fun. Yeah. I like it.

Yeah. Let's see here. Awful Mongolian says, NCFTW. Also, don't cough on me. I won't. Okay. Stephen Mitchell says in your guys move to the center. Have you considered doing segments on you learning about firearms, the ridiculousness of the laws around them and MSM misinformation campaigns about them? Yes, but I've read a decent amount of these for a while. And that's why I've always been rather tepid on my positions having to deal deal with them. Like, I actually went to a police academy training and asked them about it.

And interestingly, in Jersey, the trainers were, like, legit experts. And they were for reforms, a lot of them. They said the problem is a lack of uniformity. So people can get in trouble if they don't realize traveling through a certain area. They mentioned there's another problem with the lack of uniformity is that you can go to one state, you live there, get a weapon and easily bring it to another state, which criminals do. So they were like, the restrictions we need are the ones we don't have, and the restrictions

we have are the ones we don't need. And I was like, that's interesting. I didn't know. But that's just to get into the specifics of it. Let's see. What's next? Tony L. says, find your own path. Is too broad as philosophy IMO. Erwin S says, organic life

wouldn't be harmed if you're manipulating gravity. Beings inside the craft wouldn't be affected. Bob Lazar explains this crystal clear. Is that what you guys are talking about? Spaceships? Yeah, someone asked about organic matter or organic life in a UFO that can stop on a dime,

travel, and the G's force would kill organic life. And so that's what they were just explaining. But if it was manipulating space, you wouldn't feel anything. Exactly. Your space is static, and you're moving in between. Pablo De Sanchez says, Have you heard about New Zealand's COVID-19 Public Health Response Act 2020? It gives police constables the authority to force their way into your home without a warrant

or ID if they're in uniform. Gotta love it, huh? Logan Howard says, Guild just got Thunderfury. Love the show. Keep it up. In Classic? Got a Thunderfury? That's legit.

Do you know what Thunderfury is? No. I think there were three legendary in Classic. Three legendary items that were, like, really, really hard to get. Okay. And Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker. I think that's it. And then there was were really, really hard to get. Okay. And Thunder Fury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker. I think that's it. And then there was, what was it?

Sulphurose. And there was that staff, I think. Cool. So it's really rare. It's insane. Cool. Like, it reminds me of the South Park episode. Let's do it.

Where they're like, we have found a man who truly has no life. Have you seen that episode of South Park? No. The guy's playing well. Jean McLeod says, in St. George, Utah, talk to a lady, a nurse in critical care

I don't't know i have a feeling he is i think that's we'll see though i mean he he if he said he was concerned about the censorship i would imagine that's the case that he can do what he wants to do yeah but it's also a licensing agreement so it's like he's just doing

Hope you are having a good night. I wanted to change up my diet and wanted to know if you had any good vegan recipes to try out. You know, I only have one.

It's kind of one of my go-tos. I actually just made it earlier today. It's kind of like I like making big, huge pots of stuff, you know, so you don't have to cook often. You can just kind of I like eating it cold. It's a pasta salad. It's pasta. There's like three or four different types of beans. You should get mushrooms, some yellow peppers, green peppers.

Chop those up. So it's all kind of the same consistency. The yellow peppers, green peppers add like a nice crisp to it, and then you just put it all together. And there's this – I don't know the brand, but it's a vegan honey mustard sauce, and I just dump it in there. I think it actually a um a salad dressing but i don't care i just i dump it in there and i just mix it all up this huge medley sometimes i i get some vegan sausage also and slice that really really small toss it in there it's really good really good cold
