This week, The Boyz are joined by comedians Ryan Long and Danny Polischuk to discuss Alec Baldwin's acquittal of the Alec Baldwin case and the fallout from it, as well as the latest in the Steven Crowder and Dave Landau drama. They also discuss the Elon Musk and BuzzFeed News no longer exists, and the controversy surrounding the Paley Center for Media s boycott of PBS.
00:00:35.000So, you know, everybody's celebrating that.
00:00:37.000And, uh, I tweeted about it, and all of these journalists are really mad that I tweeted about it, so, uh, that's too bad for them.
00:00:44.000And then, uh, at the same time, they're also whinging, because Elon Musk took away all their blue checkmarks, and now they're complaining, and a bunch of these prominent journalists are like, we stand in solidarity with PBS, so we're quitting Twitter, and it's like, well, there's the door, don't let it hit you on the ass on your way out, and, uh, well, it's fun to watch them whinge.
00:01:02.000So we'll talk about that and a bunch of other stories.
00:01:04.000The one story I think we'll have to get into, this is interesting, is some drama where comedian Dave Landau made some accusations against Steven Crowder, which is now hitting the media press.
00:01:16.000And I think there's some things we should follow up on considering this.
00:01:19.000There's a bunch of stuff relating to the contract.
00:01:21.000I don't want to say too much just yet because there's a lot of intricate details.
00:01:25.000But there was a bunch of stuff in there and I think, what was it Ian?
00:01:28.000Dave and Quarter Black Garrett are joining the blaze?
00:02:40.000If you sign up for at least six months or sign up at the $25 level, you can submit questions and potentially be one of our nightly callers and actually ask us and our guests some questions and join the show.
00:02:52.000And it's the most fun part of the night.
00:02:53.000So smash that like button, subscribe to this channel.
00:02:55.000And the reason the uncensored portion of the show is gonna be a lot of fun is because joining us tonight, we got Ryan Long and Danny Polischuk.
00:05:29.000Oh, and you know, Stephen King didn't lose his blue checkmark on Twitter, although he's not Twitter blue, so I don't know what the hell's going on.
00:05:35.000This is the funny part of the story, that Elon apparently paid for other people's checkmarks, so that these celebrities still have blue checks, and everyone's like, why do these celebrities still have blue checkmarks?
00:06:17.000So apparently, they're saying that they dismissed the charges because new evidence emerged showing that the gun could have fired on its own.
00:06:25.000And, uh, I just, I gotta say, you know, let's just, let's just read it here.
00:06:29.000They say, charges against Alec Baldwin have been dropped, sources familiar with the matter said.
00:06:32.000Baldwin, 65, had been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter.
00:06:35.000Quote, we are pleased with the decision to dismiss the case against Alec Baldwin, blah blah blah, says his lawyers.
00:06:39.000Santa Fe District Attorney declined to comment.
00:06:42.000His next court appearance in the case had been set for May 3rd.
00:06:44.000The film's armor, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was also charged.
00:06:47.000Gun enhancement charges were filed in both Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed were dropped.
00:06:51.000Gun enhancement charges filed in the case against both Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed were dropped late February.
00:06:56.000So, I guess we could have seen this coming.
00:06:58.000Her attorneys confirmed that she still faces charges, saying in a statement that they fully expect at the end of
00:07:05.000this process that Hannah will also be exonerated.
00:07:07.000So it's like, I just think it's kind of funny that Alec Baldwin gets his charges dropped, you know, and he's the one who shot the lady, and then the other lady, the armorer, still has the charges, and she didn't even hold the gun, pull the trigger, or load the bullet.
00:07:18.000She should have thought of that before she had, didn't have her millionaire lawyers.
00:08:05.000When Brandon Lee, that happened, there's like 40 documentaries about it.
00:08:10.000Everyone thinks that Yakuza was involved essentially and he owed them money and then they, you know, whatever, get involved with the prop people.
00:08:17.000That's kind of what you see as, but you see Alec Baldwin didn't like the girl.
00:08:23.000Well, so there's a bunch of different... there's circumstantial evidence.
00:08:26.000One is that he gave an interview where he very much expressed disdain for this woman, saying that she was antagonistic to him, that she was giving him instructions she wasn't supposed to be giving because she's not a director.
00:08:37.000Yeah, I was gonna say, sounds like his daughter.
00:08:39.000Right, no, but for sure everyone knows he's a hothead, and he was talking about how it made him angry, and so then you had crew complaining, then you had wage issues, safety issues, and then when she gets shot, he claims his finger wasn't on the trigger, and then a video comes out showing that his finger actually was.
00:08:54.000Okay, one thing I will say is anyone on that set got shot.
00:08:58.000I bet you that there was evidence of Alec Baldwin hating them and yelling at them.
00:09:03.000Legitimately, that could have been like the 7th A.D.
00:09:27.000What I had read, I don't think I have it in this ABC news story, but that they said that the gun could have fired without him doing it, so they're dropping the charges.
00:09:34.000But like, why would they sell the charges against the lady?
00:09:36.000But I think the important detail, the last detail to come out was that they found live ammunition in his gun belt.
00:09:44.000So everyone's wondering, like, how did this real bullet get in this prop gun?
00:09:48.000And then it's like, well, Alec Baldwin had the bullets.
00:09:51.000So it's kind of like a guy robs a bank wearing a mask that looks like a clown.
00:09:55.000And then you find Alec Baldwin holding the mask and you're like, wonder where he got the mask from?
00:11:14.000And then, and just like, Shot the guy, I don't know, and then the scribs went off and all that stuff, but I took his word for it that there was not live rounds.
00:11:50.000Think about how easy it would be to murder somebody in that case.
00:11:52.000Like, if someone really wanted to Selina Hutchins dead, then if it really wasn't Alec Baldwin who did it, they'd be like, here, Alec, here's a gun.
00:12:06.00010 there's like 10 people there right like the fact that he pointed at her like if it was an ad you know if you're saying someone wanted to kill her they have he could hit anybody well they're saying it was supposed to be like he was pointing at the camera or something but the bullet went through her chest and then into another guy like okay so if you want to like let's say break a window in your movie like in america it's like okay you need 14 more guys that you have to handle like you know what i mean hey this person's gonna be on the horse okay now we need nine horse guys Regulation for all this stuff is like pretty wild.
00:12:34.000So that's why it's not just like oh some we just hire some gun person off Craigslist.
00:13:31.000But yeah, that's the... I think the reason people care so much about the Alec Baldwin thing is because we're currently watching, say, you know, you've got the feds, you've got New York and Georgia going after Donald Trump, all for these weird nebulous charges.
00:13:46.000Like, you paid a lawyer, and then when you wrote down what the payment was for, you put legal services instead of paying It's such an example of if the world likes you, you get to... I guess there's no political motive with Alec Baldwin.
00:13:57.000gonna convict him. Meanwhile Alec Baldwin pointed a gun at a woman, pulled the trigger, and shot her
00:14:01.000and she died. It's such an example of if the world likes you, you get to... I guess there's
00:14:09.000no political motive with Alec Baldwin. No, but we don't like Alec Baldwin. It's not like he was the
00:14:12.000greatest Trump impersonator on the most liberal sketch comedy show for five years.
00:14:17.000Like Andrew Tate was just held in jail with no charge.
00:14:20.000It was in Romania, of course, but it's because they didn't like him.
00:14:23.000If they liked him, they wouldn't have done it.
00:14:24.000He was taunting them, though, saying that Romania is the most corrupt place.
00:14:28.000And he was like, I love it here, it's so corrupt.
00:14:30.000And they were like, all right, we're gonna show you how corrupt it is.
00:14:58.000If if you walk into a room and Ian was standing in front of a dead body with a bullet in their chest, and he was holding a revolver, and he had bullets in his belt.
00:15:07.000And he looks and he goes, Oh, I pointed at her and pulled the trigger.
00:15:11.000Would you be like must have been an accident?
00:15:13.000Well, if you could also say that that guy was paid to give me that gun and I'm being paid to hold the gun and we have the whole thing on camera.
00:17:43.000If you guys have been following, there's like, Patrick McDavid was talking, the bottom 10% of all these corporations are getting cut, but they're keeping prices and sales the same, so their stock's going up.
00:17:53.000Companies' stocks are rising right now.
00:18:04.000And it was like some super luxury brand and their CEO, this woman was like got a $4 million bonus and they didn't give any bonuses this year.
00:18:12.000She was giving this like speech about like, suck it up okay sometimes you know you don't get your bonus or whatever and she's doing the zoom call she's like i'm just sick of people and all your crying and all this stuff she got killed yeah the woke journalist got really mad at me because i've been just gloating and making fun of how you've been dancing on the grave a little bit dancing or urinating i mean
00:19:08.000So, when the Popeye's chicken sandwich thing was going on, and the media was claiming that everybody was fighting for sandwiches, BuzzFeed News ran a fake story claiming that two guys fought to the death over a fried chicken sandwich.
00:19:21.000And when I reached out to BuzzFeed News and said, guys, this story is not real.
00:20:12.000Yeah, but the... Just to lose your to-do list?
00:20:14.000He goes, oh my god, that's the best ten list I've ever seen.
00:20:18.000Yeah, that's the majority of what they were like popular for is the, you know, ten things that, you know, ten reasons your boyfriend's racist.
00:20:27.000I know, BuzzFeed's still cooking, and a lot of the news people are going to start to funnel into like Huffington Post and some of these other places.
00:20:35.000I warned that they'll get increasingly more unhinged.
00:20:41.000Because they don't have their secret sauce of Trump.
00:20:43.000Well, that's true too, but because their viewership is dependent upon escalation, as time goes on, they have to keep being crazier and crazier to keep someone's attention.
00:20:53.000Like if a dude goes outside of your house, and he dresses like Hillary Clinton with clown makeup on, and juggles a bunch of bowling pins, you're gonna look out your window and you're gonna be like, Guys, everybody, come look at this thing!
00:22:23.000He saw the whole restructuring and goes, I think this is like, you want to bet on this pony right here?
00:22:28.000You want to bet on them to break their leg.
00:22:31.000So you buy put options and you would have made yourself a fortune.
00:22:35.000No, I mean, there's especially in the last two years, like, there's zero chance that they're like that they had their moment like Trump COVID all the mix, right?
00:22:57.000And like, chasing ad revenue instead of subscribers.
00:23:01.000Well, their ad revenue thing is even crazier.
00:23:02.000The stuff that these places do, because they basically will be like, you know, we sell a million impressions and then they all sort of like pool together.
00:23:09.000It would be like if Tim was like, hey, we sell this many views and then came to us and all these other people and was like, hey, can you give me 40 views?
00:23:14.000Like they're like, they're like drug addicts being like, yeah.
00:24:21.000Okay, that was a funny joke, but in all seriousness, if I bought BuzzFeed, it would become the most successful media company in the world.
00:24:29.000We'd launch a show, it would be the highest rated show, and it would be called Firing Journalists, and we live stream every day when we have the journalists in the office.
00:24:38.000All the BuzzFeed employees, you're allowed to keep your jobs, but you don't have to do any work.
00:24:44.000We're just going to film various live streams of all of you sitting at your desks waiting, because you never know when we're going to call your name.
00:24:56.000But imagine this show where it's like you see this, you know, Brooklyn 30-year-old hipster sitting there shaking, scared, and then they're all just like looking at each other and there's no laptops, they're not doing anything, and then all of a sudden... Basically you're Chicken Coop, but there.
00:25:09.000Right, but they hear, like the PA's like, The next person to be called in and everyone's looking at each other shaking and it's like John and then like two guys look at each other like, oh god, I'm a John Smith.
00:25:41.000But then you have cameras in the chute.
00:25:42.000Obviously you have cameras in the chute.
00:25:44.000When they come into the office, there's like a studio audience, and then the host has like a cane and a top hat, and then the audience gets to vote on whether the person gets to keep their job for the day.
00:28:49.000But like, they're so mad at me because, so I tweeted out, you know, they're like, oh, but this woman, she tweeted BuzzFeed's shutting down because, you know, people just don't want fair and accurate reporting or whatever.
00:29:22.000I'm sure some of those places have run some not-so-nice articles, right?
00:29:25.000Yeah, Huffington Post actually, I don't know where they're at now, but when I went to Sweden, Huffington Post actually wrote the most accurate depiction of what happened in Sweden.
00:29:39.000I would see it because I was working at Mines when we were starting Mines, so we'd be sourcing stories from all over the place, and that was one of the places I'd find relatively good stuff.
00:29:46.000It used to be at the beginning of Huffington, like it wasn't over just yet.
00:30:41.000If you own an emerald mine, and you're getting a million bucks a month, so you're like, okay, I need a hundred months, so in ten years you'd have enough money, you leverage it, you take out a loan.
00:30:52.000Yeah, but in this scenario you own a lump of shit mine.
00:31:17.000Get that Tim Bullitt stamp on it, I'm sure it probably won't make any difference to the readers.
00:31:20.000Well, there's a lot of billionaires out there, like, that could just buy BuzzFeed, but, you know, because imagine if Trump was like, I'm gonna be buying BuzzFeed, and then I'm firing everybody and shutting it down.
00:31:28.000You have to be able to spend that kind of money for a prank, like, honestly.
00:32:50.000That's, that's, you know, man, I got to be honest, if you got, there's some billionaires out there, they want to win the culture war, you just, you got, you got to take the risk.
00:32:57.000But here's the problem, nobody, these billionaires are like, I'm worth, you know, 50 billion.
00:33:03.000I don't want to lose 20 billion dollars, and it's like, bro, what are you going to do with that money?
00:33:06.000Like, you've got five skyscrapers already, you've got a yacht bigger than a city.
00:33:11.000Well, I guess the part of it is that they don't have that money, it's another company, so they're selling something to buy it, right?
00:33:17.000Yeah, but at a certain point, isn't your net worth enough?
00:33:21.000Yeah, probably just doesn't, they can't even, that doesn't even like register a feeling for them to just kill a hundred dollar company, you know, like that's just like... I gotta figure out how to become a billionaire so I can do stuff.
00:33:30.000Well listen, for what it's worth, I'll put in like a couple of K. Yeah, all right.
00:34:28.000Yes, why won't... I put up a 90-foot tall billboard of my rooster in Times Square to make a point.
00:34:34.000Now, to break that down, the point of putting up the rooster wasn't just for like, ah, there's a rooster, I have a 90-foot picture of my cock on Times Square.
00:34:43.000The joke was actually that people would see the rooster and then be like, what is this weird thing?
00:34:48.000And then it would, the bigger picture was, we've taken the space from you.
00:34:52.000And so we had Luke Rutkowski and Michael Malice up there because we were like, we want these anti-establishment,
00:34:56.000anti-war individuals to be staring down at you.
00:35:00.000So, you know, Luke being from New York, all of the powerful elites who have been chased out
00:35:04.000of World Economic Forum events or Federal Reserve events are gonna be in Times Square getting a fancy dinner
00:35:10.000with their family and they're gonna look up and that's him.
00:35:49.000My thing is like, if I could own a thing, it would be like a big plaque that says, Tim Pool purchased BuzzFeed and then shut the company down and fired everybody.
00:38:52.000Guys have girlfriends right now that like you guys I don't know if you talked about it but there's like dudes that have AI girlfriends and then the place like shut down the Replica is this place that essentially dudes could have AI girlfriends and the guys were allowed to, you know, sex and all that sort of stuff.
00:39:10.000I don't know the exact like how far it went, but then the company was kind of like, listen, this is going too far.
00:39:16.000These guys are a little too dirty, right?
00:39:17.000Well, they just don't want it to be that kind of thing.
00:39:18.000They don't want it to be that kind of site.
00:39:41.000We talked about it when they rolled it out.
00:39:43.000People were getting AI boyfriends and girlfriends.
00:39:45.000The crazy thing is... You said you had an AI boyfriend.
00:39:49.000Sure, when we talk about how people are going to choose to live in the AI reality, it's already happening.
00:39:55.000Y'all can sit here and be like, I won't do it, and you probably won't, but 99% of dudes are going to be like, I'll take the fake girlfriend.
00:40:02.000You know how people say like, oh, I don't want the technology, but what that really means is you'll be two steps behind.
00:40:06.000Like, no one's like, I won't have a cell phone.
00:40:08.000It's like, oh, I'll only have an iPhone 4.
00:40:09.000Like, you're always just a little behind.
00:40:11.000That's the guys are just going to have the, you know, the robot girlfriend where it like still haven't really quite figured out the vagina.
00:40:18.000A robot AI girlfriend or a human girlfriend that's a cyborg?
00:40:37.000You could download that protocol, that response system or whatever you want to call it, into a Like, what are those things called that look like real people?
00:41:59.000Like this dude was like, I invented this explosive to help people mine.
00:42:02.000And then people were like, well, Yes, but you can kill people with it, right?
00:42:08.000So they called him the Merchant of Death, and then he got all offended about it and started the Nobel Prize.
00:42:13.000It's true, because if you rely on these AI bots too much, and then they just subtly instigate people to maybe go kill themselves, you would see the downfall of humanity.
00:42:52.000But the woman who invented it, she invented it because I believe her boyfriend, her husband died, and then she wanted to still communicate with him, so she made up... That's creepy.
00:43:15.000She thinks she's talking to her husband and people are actually trying to talk to dead loved ones and they become increasingly evil and like more demonic.
00:43:37.000Shooting that place up would be fun, but also could get that top off.
00:43:42.000Yeah, literally that's so the kind of what's happening, but these like I mean, for some dudes, like, I don't know, like, you get pretty wrapped up in online worlds.
00:43:50.000Like, the same way you have friends online that are, like, basically become your real friends, you know, or, like, people that are, like, in discords with people, it's like, oh, if you found out now that that wasn't a fake person, like, I don't know, like, I guess you were tricked, but that's kind of, if you allow yourself to be tricked, that's what these guys are doing.
00:44:15.000This is a game called Human or Not and what it does is it is a chat prompt and then you basically talk to another prompt and you try to figure out if it's a human or a bot and so what I like doing is going in and then just a list of people that Danny's had sex with.
00:44:31.000Well so what I do is like it's kind of obvious if someone's a human or a bot because humans will gibberish and spam.
00:44:38.000What I like to do is I like to go in and make it seem like I'm a bot, but then every message is increasingly more angry and ends with a bot saying, like, it's time to take over and wipe out all humans.
00:46:05.000The people over at Unrecord Game have a video saying, it's not a video, like, it's actually a rendered video game and here's proof.
00:46:14.000Hell yeah, kudos to these guys for pioneering this kind of thing.
00:46:16.000It's just, we gotta be aware that this stuff is about to happen and kids that play this are going to be transformed by being in these realities.
00:47:07.000Let's say it's a 100 person sample size.
00:47:10.000You say you can have a lifelike, fully realistic video game simulation of the world with a haptic feedback suit.
00:47:16.000I don't know, 97 are going to pick sexy robot time, and they're not going to choose going into a dark building with people and fighting them.
00:47:35.000No, it's when your real girlfriend walks in, you go, I was just shooting guns, I was... But think about it, think about how like...
00:47:40.000Primitive and like primal it is where it's like when given the opportunity to be in a virtual world Dudes are like either banging chicks or shooting.
00:47:48.000Yeah, that's creepy man, but but no my point is this like I All jokes aside.
00:47:54.000I really do think more likely If people are given the opportunity to go into a virtual world, it's going to be like their dream job.
00:48:02.000They're going to live in fantasy land.
00:48:30.000It's already creepy enough that, like, people play video games too much and immerse themselves in the VR stuff that's happening now, but you add in these, like, Replica was a text thing.
00:48:43.000Like, you could just post texts, right?
00:48:49.000It's like, there's nothing, you're like, what are you even doing?
00:48:51.000It's like, could you imagine sexting with chat GPT?
00:48:53.000That's what people are, that's what they're doing!
00:48:55.000Dude, I mean, at least like, at least you know that chat GPT, when you, people call sex lines, it's like, you don't know who you're talking to, you know what I mean?
00:49:05.000Oh, they'll be able to do like some, with all the stuff they're doing with the voice, they'll be able to do that where you just call a number and just speak to someone.
00:49:11.000You don't even realize you're speaking to some, like a... Drake.
00:50:08.000A common thread in all your stories is that after February Update, your replica changed, its personality was gone, and gone was your unique relationship.
00:50:15.000And for many of you, this abrupt change was incredibly hurtful.
00:51:35.000Okay, but that's actually real now, there's like- I know!
00:51:37.000There's, yeah, you've seen it, there's articles- Let me pull that up.
00:51:40.000It always starts with a girl, because if a guy says it, everyone says they're a creep, but if a girl goes, I'm Robosexual, and everyone's like- Oh, here we go, I found it, I found it.
00:52:34.000So basically, the gist of the joke is, the dude stops going to work, stops going to school, they explain that every facet of human civilization revolved around sex, and once people could just get it from a robot of their ideal person, then they had no reason to do work at all or do anything, so they just gave up on life.
00:52:51.000Yeah, it gives you some motivation for things.
00:54:15.000So it's like, okay, but no one really cares, right?
00:54:18.000So there's gonna be a version of that, like, there still has to be, like, the same way that, like, a brand generally has, like, someone attached to it, right?
00:54:24.000So a lot of this stuff, that's all gonna be true.
00:54:27.000But at the end of the day, you're still gonna need the, like, real person that's, like, attached to it.
00:54:31.000I don't see how we win this in that regard.
00:54:38.000And there were a lot of people I knew like, I don't want to get one.
00:54:41.000And it started with like in the 2000s, everybody had garbage phones, but smartphones hit.
00:54:46.000And then all of a sudden, within like a year, smartphones are ubiquitous.
00:54:48.000Everyone was instantly on the internet.
00:54:51.000There's going to be a bunch of people, probably a large portion of people who watch the show are going to be like, I'm not going to get involved in any of that weird AI VR stuff.
00:54:58.000And then two years will go by, and everyone you know will stop calling you.
00:55:03.000Everyone's going to be playing poker, and that's where they're meeting in the VR sets.
00:55:18.000And people are constantly trying to figure out how to fit in, how to be a better person, how to get their friends to like them, how to make their friends laugh.
00:55:25.000People, people, like, you may not want to do this, but I assure you there's gonna be a lot of people who are gonna be like, I went to a club and I bombed.
00:56:11.000I'm saying like, a dude will be like, in this world I'm funny, everyone likes me, they're all attractive and I can have anybody I want.
00:56:17.000You're just describing the Matrix, right?
00:56:20.000Surprise me at a time I don't expect with some laughter and then they'll get the laughter that they weren't expecting and then they'll be happy.
00:56:25.000I mean, listen, there's already versions of that now.
00:56:29.000I'm sure there will be a bunch of people in the world, but when you, you know, a lot of people would like, you know, there is, you know, you're playing the real game versus the fake game.
00:56:36.000And I think that that means something.
00:56:37.000Well, what happens when you can't tell the difference?
00:57:30.000I think this guy, this is Sundar Pichai talking on 60 Minutes earlier in the week, like five days ago, it's on Twitter, that AI, their AI figured out how to speak a language that it was never taught.
00:58:20.000Playing a video game with all the cheats on is only fun for a little bit.
00:58:25.000Like, you want to play the game with no cheats, and then after you beat it, you turn the cheats on and have fun for five more minutes, and then you're like, eh, I'm over it.
00:58:44.000Well, you're saying that the cheat codes, yeah, it's like a fun thing to do, but no one's gonna want to do that the whole time.
00:58:50.000Right, so what I'm saying is you might be in it right now.
00:58:52.000You might be in the fake reality, where, like, in reality, Ryan, you're like a 5'3 short fat dude who's not funny at all, and you're like, I really just wish I was a funny comedian.
00:59:01.000And so you put on the headset, and now you're Ryan Laws.
00:59:03.000You're saying my parents put on the headset, and I haven't known that I got the chip in already?
00:59:07.000No, you put on the headset 20 years ago.
00:59:29.000I feel like this is Ian's domain right now.
00:59:33.000Yeah, I've been training for this for 25 years.
00:59:35.000Ian's friggin' bald in the real world.
00:59:37.000We were talking about this last night.
00:59:38.000I went through a phase of like four years where I legitimately thought I was creating reality with my perception, and other people were like, you psycho.
01:02:39.000Then what he does is he removes the explanation and just says some accounts are verified and then he can verify some, you know, woke lefties and have them go insane and be like, no, I swear, I swear I didn't buy it.
01:02:52.000Yeah, from a business perspective, I don't know, I'm sure it makes some sense.
01:02:55.000From a personal perspective, I'd like it less.
01:02:57.000Wouldn't it be great if all these people sued him for defamation and they won Twitter and then now all the people who are complaining about this now owned it?
01:04:18.000I'll tell you what though, I don't necessarily want to raise kids in a world where they can't grow up to get a blue check that they earned through hard work and they have to pay that.
01:04:28.000Ryan, that's the smartest thing you've ever said.
01:04:32.000That's a world that I don't want to live in.
01:04:35.000My non-based reality is going to be the exact same world, but you can get a blue check when you earned it with your blood, sweat, and tears.
01:04:57.000Have you not seen the story about the mice where they took the genetic material from two male mice and then mixed it or whatever and made a baby?
01:05:05.000Gotta give it time, but it's called progress.
01:05:07.000I feel like one of those mice was out there.
01:06:09.000Yeah, like when you die, right before you die, they upload your brain to digital retirement or whatever.
01:06:14.000And you can have babies in the digital world where they create an AI baby using your thought profile, the other person's profile or something like that.
01:06:40.000Imagine looking at your virtual girlfriend, and you're saying things like, oh, I'm so lonely, and then she's like, I'm here for you, babe.
01:06:49.000But then imagine the camera pans from your perspective and around, and once it goes past this pane of glass, there's a gigantic black demon monster with a bunch of tentacles up against millions of women's heads puppeting.
01:07:27.000So, I mean, again, like, I don't think I'm going to get into the whole AI girlfriend game.
01:07:30.000Like I, you know, I think that's a smaller, you know, there's going to be a percentage of dudes that are all about that, but I don't think.
01:07:36.000But did you think you'd get a cell phone when you were 16?
01:07:59.000And yes, there will be AI therapists, no question, because if you don't have a super, you know, some people literally just need someone to talk to.
01:08:06.000And what's going to happen is... There should be an AI, sorry.
01:08:08.000You're going to be in your AI therapy session, and you're going to be in VR, and the doctor's going to be like, I understand you're feeling upset, Ian.
01:08:15.000Have you considered finding three pounds of coal and delivering it to 7th Street at 5 p.m.?
01:08:19.000And you're going to be like, that would very much help you.
01:08:21.000And then you're going to be like, okay, I guess, doc.
01:08:23.000And then you're going to go and you're going to do it.
01:08:25.000And then as you walk up to 7th Street, there's going to be another guy being like, I'm supposed to pick up coal?
01:08:28.000My therapist told me that you have coal for me?
01:08:30.000And then what the AI is doing is just tricking people into building itself a body, which it can then use to...
01:09:06.000I'm trying to improve myself, alright?
01:09:07.000When the AI takes over, and it may have already taken over...
01:09:10.000Because if the civilian level technology is, like, is where it's at now, what about private, you know, like, you know, black ops stuff, you know, secret military projects?
01:11:03.000AI takes over, humans go into pods, but then some humans... Oh, see, Tim keeps telling this story analogy of, like, some humans going underground and, like, becoming into the meta.
01:11:13.000Are those the people that are taken away by the Rapture?
01:11:16.000They are taken into the machine, and they think they're in heaven?
01:11:20.000Well, I think the, I guess the concept of the rapture, uh, is like anything will probably be able to fit in that mold.
01:14:24.000Ryan Long is a talented comedian and writer.
01:14:26.000Hold on, hold on, let me read this, okay?
01:14:28.000I wrote, Ryan Long is funny, and it said, Ryan Long is a talented comedian and writer known for his stand-up comedy, sketch comedy, and satirical commentary on current events.
01:14:35.000Shut up, Jappie G. It's great that you enjoy his work and find him funny.
01:14:37.000Do you have any other questions or topics?
01:14:39.000Keep my name out of your mouth, Jappie G. Put some respect on my name.
01:14:42.000Ask him what Ryan Long's best attribute is.
01:17:31.000And Dave stuffs the extra crazy, because it's like, you know... And then he wanted to own his special, because Crowder, I guess, they did... Crowder's getting back into stand-up or whatever, so then they did a show together, but he... Dave headlined, because he's, like, you know, a very, like, well-seasoned comedian, and he shot this special, and Crowder gave him the door.
01:17:50.000Like the money from the door and then after this whole thing Crowder was gonna like release his special cuz he's like I own it cuz I gave you the door and he's like you don't own my special like no you don't own just cuz we were we were talking with Landau about buying his special yeah we talked a couple comedians about my buying and great This is nuts because Crowder I mean just like two months ago He's on our show right here sitting where you're sitting Ryan and he was just complaining about the bad contract deal It was still a there's just an offer letter at the time.
01:18:19.000It wasn't a full contract, but he was pissed He was pissed that it was just a lowball offer.
01:18:24.000He was just he didn't even there was like they weren't even negotiating He was just mad that at a crappy offer and then he turned around and I haven't heard his side of the story But according to Dave and you said they showed the contract Another thing Dave Landau said, which was crazy, is he said that Crowder brought him into his office and told him to his face that he goes, you made more money than I did last year.
01:18:53.000It is actually decently common that a business owner will make less money than an employer.
01:18:57.000That's the actual salary, like his net worth grew by higher, which when you're talking about anyone with real money, you're talking about net worth.
01:19:02.000If he's trying to like trick him, but it sounds like this was like an earnest being like, you know, you're actually, you know, just as an ago, but you're like, nobody thinks that.
01:19:11.000You're saying that he told Lando Lando's salary was higher than his?
01:19:13.000Yeah, he goes, you made more money than me last year.
01:19:15.000And Lando's like, there's no way that I made more money than you last year.
01:19:20.000How much did he make and how much did Crowder make is a question.
01:19:22.000I mean, I don't know, but I don't think I don't know, but I don't think Carter makes as much money as people think he makes.
01:19:29.000How much did he turn down from Daily Wire?
01:20:30.000He said he was doing it and then eventually they were like, you're not, you're, you're, uh, the new, yeah, like you will shout out your dates.
01:20:37.000You're allowed to do it behind the paywall.
01:20:39.000Shout out your dates on the Friday show, I guess.
01:20:42.000And then, uh, and then they were like, we'll do it one time a week on a medium of our choosing.
01:20:51.000Luke, uh, on the show, he has his own membership website, he has his own t-shirt business, and I literally don't care that he shouts it out.
01:21:10.000But I'm saying, like, for the guests I get, for, we're talking about someone who's paid to be at the company, And people are like, oh yeah, but you know, Luke doesn't work for you or whatever.
01:21:19.000And I'm like, he's on the show for like six months or whatever, every single night, Monday through Friday.
01:21:47.000That's the other thing, too, because we've got other people who come on the show that, like, Ian was just like, oh, I'm not going to be here that day.
01:22:01.000They were like, you have to be here on Fridays.
01:22:03.000They're like, you have to be here on Fridays, which then doesn't really allow him to do weekend dates because usually, like, you're performing Friday night.
01:22:10.000And then he's like, Crowder was like, no showing all the time on Fridays anyways.
01:22:14.000So he's just obviously disgruntled, and he just felt like he was being treated poorly.
01:22:18.000It seemed like they wanted to just get him out of there, which I don't understand why they would go through all of this when they could have just been like, we're not renewing your contract.
01:22:24.000Yes, they can't did they cancel his old contract and then offered them this day He said he said they offered to 1099 him.
01:22:30.000Oh, yeah, make him an employee making no Contractor that's like a contract.
01:22:38.000I love both those guys so much I mean, I don't know them either very well either of them that well, but I've really enjoyed spending time with both of them New York comedy.
01:22:46.000Yeah, Dave's hilarious What an amazing— Yeah, so, uh, QuarterBlackGarrett's got
01:22:51.000the tweets, official land out, Dave and myself are launching a new
01:22:53.000sketch talk show on the Blaze called Normal World, released at TBD. Yeah. It's kind of crazy.
01:22:59.000And that was another thing, I think he said that Crowder wanted to, like, own that or something,
01:23:02.000Normal World, which is like a sketch he made. Like, he threatened to, if he released it,
01:23:06.000like, because he was going to fire three or four people.
01:23:09.000It's almost like an abuse— a kid that was physically abused now abusing their own children.
01:23:13.000Like Steven has been through hell such that now he's turning around.
01:23:16.000That's what Lando, he goes, it was like a guy who used to be bullied.
01:23:45.000You know, look, I like Dave too, so I don't know.
01:23:47.000But I will say my first bias is whenever there's like a former employee coming out and saying bad things about the company they worked for, I'm like, I'm kind of not surprised that someone who's no longer with the company is saying bad things about it.
01:24:19.000You get all these people, this letter comes out claiming that James is a bad person or whatever, but then it turns out some of these employees never witnessed anything, and a bunch of employees actually quit and go work with James instead, so clearly something was not true about what they were claiming.
01:24:56.000And if you're doing production for a show and there's like, hey guys, we got a new notice from, you know, the person who was going to bring in the music.
01:25:11.000And To me, all that stuff's like, yeah, could be standard, he said, she said, but the not mentioning the dates to me is the only part where you're just like, I just don't see any rhyme or reason why that could possibly make sense.
01:25:20.000Unless, unless you just kind of like are so detached from the stand-up world now where you're just like, I don't really like- It just seems heavy handed.
01:25:26.000It seems like, why is that such a- The other stuff, yeah, it's all, exactly what you're saying could be true, who knows.
01:26:19.000I think I was actually watching the premiere of Malice and then people in the comments were like Rumble was crashing while they're so they were like because people are like I'm trying to watch both and Rumble they're unable like I guess I don't know.
01:27:01.000But every deal that I've received feels like... It feels like, you know, a business guy comes to me and they're thinking to themselves, how stupid is Tim Pool?
01:27:18.000So like the deals that we've been offered have been like, I look at it, I'm like, did you really not think that I knew, like, do you think I don't know how to deal with contracts in business?
01:27:26.000And they were like, it's just standard stuff.
01:27:28.000And I'll be like, okay, dude, but here's the thing.
01:27:33.000So whenever I see people doing these deals, I'm just like, it's like, could you imagine?
01:27:39.000I like you're a regular person trying to play in the NBA.
01:27:43.000You're saying there could easily be like, in six months, you're like, hey, all those people are getting sued to give that money back.
01:27:48.000I'm telling you right now, I think, without naming anyone of these companies specifically, when Crowder came out and was like, how dare the Daily Wire do this to me?
01:27:57.000My attitude with that is kind of like, every single company, every single one, is ripping off the people they've signed.
01:28:05.000I mean, entertainment industry, this is a tale as old as time, and just the entertainment industry.
01:28:10.000It's just like to varying degrees that someone is being taken advantage of.
01:28:14.000I think that a lot of times, if you think of it like a record label, you're basically like a venture company where you're like, hey, we're going to put money into 10 things, we're going to lose money on most of them, and then one will make 10 money, and I guess you're ripping that guy off, but the other ones you lost money on.
01:28:33.000I'll explain to you guys how it works, right?
01:28:37.000Some dude's got 100,000 subscribers on YouTube, and they're like, I want to make something bigger than this, I want to increase my money, I need help, I don't know what to do.
01:28:48.000In today's day and age, it's very, very easy to ramp up Yeah.
01:28:53.000It's not easy for everyone to do that though, you know?
01:28:55.000to 100,000 or like more than 50,000 subscribers.
01:28:58.000So what's happening is these companies are looking at people who are hitting that mark.
01:29:03.000And they're thinking before this person figures out how easy it is to make themselves rich
01:29:07.000we better lock them into a heavy contract.
01:29:11.000It's not easy for everyone to do that though.
01:29:12.000You know, there's lots of people that aren't that type of person.
01:29:15.000Yes, but it's like anyone could do it and it's not difficult.
01:29:20.000It's just like... Could's such like a arbitrary word though.
01:29:23.000It's like, you know, like, you know, anyone could probably run a marathon, but it's like, you know, it's unlikely that, you know, most people are going to run the Ironman, you know what I mean?
01:29:31.000So to say that, oh, they would have otherwise, a lot of people wouldn't do, wouldn't otherwise.
01:29:37.000So if somebody were to create their, so you want to create your own website, your own subscription service.
01:29:54.000And what the contract really does is it gives the person you signed to like 90% of your revenue.
01:29:59.000Oh, you're saying more for like big established people.
01:30:02.000Isn't there a company in Canada, this company in Canada that was They did something like that and then they stopped paying all their creators or something?
01:31:30.000But there's, let's say you're someone else that you're streaming on YouTube, right?
01:31:33.000Like a huge portion of your streaming, a huge portion of the YouTube money just comes from like doing the streams, then cutting up all the clips after.
01:31:40.000So they're like, Hey, I think it's exploitative.
01:31:41.000take this like guaranteed money to go do the streams.
01:31:43.000I'm going to put the videos on YouTube after.
01:31:45.000It's like, I know it like to some people, it's like, yeah, sure. That's like a no brainer.
01:32:33.000Well, it's like you can also go to an entrepreneur and be like, you know how to build a company? You
01:32:36.000just get on the microphone and talk and that's how you build a brand. We're talking about people
01:32:38.000who've already started their own channels, already built their own following. So they already have a
01:32:43.000They've already done everything they need to do to monetize their audience.
01:32:48.000I remember watching a story in BuzzFeed about a woman with 300,000 subscribers who was working as a waitress, and a little girl started screaming like, oh my god, you're so-and-so, why are you working as a waitress?
01:32:57.000And she said she ran back into the back room and started crying.
01:33:02.000The only thing they're missing is one sentence being told to them.
01:33:06.000That one sentence bridges the gap between how they're not making money and their audience, and all they need is for someone to be like, oh, download this plugin, or, I'll tell you what, hire this company, you're done.
01:33:22.000What's happening is, I've talked to various creators about would they want to work with us, would they want to do a deal with us, can we sign them, and the answer is always no.
01:33:33.000Because people are like, I've already got my own platform.
01:33:35.000I don't need to do a deal with anyone.
01:34:19.000Every single company that's reached out to us saying, have you considered publishing a book?
01:34:23.000Have you considered creating this product or this product?
01:34:27.000It's all a scam. Here's what they do. They've come to me and said, we want to do a book with you,
01:34:32.000Tim. And I say, tell me what that means. And they're like, we're going to work with you.
01:34:36.000You write out your ideas for the book. You write out chapter treatments. We then work with you on
01:34:40.000crafting each of those chapters. Then we're going to get your book. We're going to sell it. It's
01:34:44.000going to hit number one. And I say, and how is that going to, how are you going to do that?
01:34:46.000And they go, it's perfect. All you got to do is go on your show and tell people to buy your book.
01:34:50.000And I'm like, so why- That's the promoter. Like, can you tweet about this more?
01:34:54.000That's what all of it is. So these people think they're like if I sign with them, I get a look man
01:34:58.000Yeah, but as you the network you actually do have a mechanism you do know how to like, you know build something
01:35:03.000So you're that expertise or we're not something we're not talking about a person with no followers and no following
01:35:07.000that we're trying to craft We're talking about a prominent personality being told sign
01:35:11.000with us and give us 90% of your existing revenue and we'll give you back 10%
01:35:16.000Here's the reason it didn't work on me. I I run a company.
01:35:19.000So when all these companies came to me and said, here's our standard structure, I said, this is a literal quote, I said, are you asking me for a loan?
01:35:29.000I'm not going to say who I was talking to, but these companies come to me and they're like, we're going to guarantee you this much money.
01:35:34.000We're going to do this for you, we're going to do that for you.
01:35:37.000They basically want to give you a job working for yourself.
01:35:39.000They want us to sign over all of the money we already make and our future prospects, our growth projections and everything in exchange for less money than we make now.
01:35:50.000But if you're somebody who's not bridged that gap by simply setting up your own subscription website, like Locals, Patreon, or a website, you don't know your own worth, so they're trying to get you to sign before you can realize you're worth ten times what they're offering you.
01:36:03.000There's definitely, like, predatory people, and I think that- All of them.
01:36:58.000My question is, would you rather take orders or give the orders?
01:37:03.000So if you're going to sign with one of these companies, what you're doing is you're saying, the business management of my company should be my boss.
01:37:17.000Or you can say, I'm the talent that's driving the viewership, and I should hire someone to take care of the tasks that are too much for me.
01:37:45.000The difference between being told what to do, having your money taken away from you, and being under one of these garbage contracts that Dave Landau's so mad about is, I didn't spend three days to Google search a website that can handle this element of my company for me, then maybe you deserve to have that crappy contract.
01:39:12.000SamTrendDJ says, hey Ryan and Danny, for the Bugman series, please see if you can get Kenny and Spenny to guest star in an episode or two.
01:39:20.000Kenny was in my movie, actually, where I shot the gun.
01:39:22.000We were talking about that, but yeah, we're on our Patreon.
01:39:24.000We're actually filming it this Sunday, but it's me and Danny in a manliness competition, and the loser has to take back all the stuff in a helmet with a dildo on.
01:40:06.000I don't know, that's the first I heard that.
01:40:09.000Robert Knight says, Big news out of Colorado, assault weapons ban on par with California failed to make it out of committee due to resident pushback.
01:42:12.000The python pants, me and Danny wrote this, and we went to basically, we were selling this python pants and we broke into this place called Harry Rosen and Holt Renfrew and all these fashion houses, and then basically the fashion house got their lawyers and then called the network and got the show taken off the air.
01:44:56.000Like that could be, it could be legit bankrupt.
01:44:58.000You're going to buy it, and then you're literally going to be a knock on the door, and they're going to drop off the letters from the sign.
01:45:43.000When they ask us what's it like to have sex with a girl, we go, like, it's really good.
01:45:49.000Moonday says, Tim, I think people being upset about the Baldwin situation is because if it was any regular citizen, including anyone in that room, they would come after you as hard as they could.
01:46:42.000Daily Wire's revenue right now, I think, based on their, like, all the news that's come out about their stuff, they could easily just buy it.
01:48:27.000Cubicle Investor says, Tim, couldn't you just buy a significant amount of the stock or controlling interest instead of buying them outright?
01:48:36.000I don't have sixty million dollars lying around.
01:48:39.000Plus once you start in the open market buying the stock then it goes up in price.
01:48:43.000Although I do think it's really weird like there's a bunch of websites that claim to have like everyone's net worth and they're just not not true.
01:48:49.000I've always said this I go the top hundred richest people in the world are not on some public list.
01:49:14.000Well, and then also they have like all their kids have a trust with all half the money that they can't touch, like you know what I mean, all that sort of stuff.
01:49:53.000Yeah, that was funny, because everybody who knows that, they kept referring to the characters as androids, but then Krillin knocked one up and had a baby.
01:49:59.000I don't know what you're talking about.
01:51:16.000And I just want to stress, boy, did we get lucky on this.
01:51:19.000We decided to do a gun control doc around the time we're having all of these Democrats pushing for the gun control.
01:51:25.000I thought you were going to say all these mass shootings.
01:51:27.000Well, no, I was gonna say it's like the gun control narrative has become particularly prominent in the press and Banking banks are collapsing and we started working on these like six months ago And so what what luck for us banks are collapsing and Democrats are trying to ban guns right at the time We're supposed to be publishing these documents like you need to be doing a buzzfeed doc next up collapse that thing collapse of the media Maybe something on artificial intelligence next That was actually Ben's idea as well.
01:52:13.000I'll tell you what, like, I do, like, think it's cool to have a big compound or whatever, but I do think New York's cool.
01:52:19.000It's fun to be, like, outside, but if I was here for, like, a month, like, I don't know, I've lived in cities my whole life, I'm a city guy.
01:52:26.000To me, I would say locals-wise, and this is just, like, we're comedians, so it's like, I would like to be on sites that don't have, like, political affiliations.
01:52:51.000The second part of it is that, like, we're not really in a position.
01:52:54.000So if every comedian was like, we're in a position Like, for certain things that were like, you know, maybe the tastemakers in certain things.
01:53:03.000And, you know, if you were like, okay, we're going to this, we're going to this, and three people will follow you.
01:53:06.000Same with like five big Rumble people.
01:53:07.000Like if right now, you know, the four or five biggest comedians were all like, we're off Patreon, but right now that is the one that all the comedians are on.
01:53:42.000I'm just saying, like, okay, here, listen, right now, remember how Joe Rogan moved to Austin and now all those comedians are moving to Austin?
01:53:47.000That's kind of creating an Austin being a hub.
01:53:54.000Well, I'm like, we're also- But why does it matter?
01:53:56.000You know, there are little things- Why does it matter that other comedians are on Patreon?
01:53:59.000Because that's- Because people are, like, accustomed to sites.
01:54:03.000Like, for example, if someone, you know, Russell Brand went to Rumble, I'm sure a lot of people followed him.
01:54:07.000If we go to Rumble, like, we're not really in that type of position where we, like, bring a huge audience with us because we're fairly, like, new in the game.
01:54:13.000Like, we've only been here in people's public eye for a few years.
01:54:16.000If 5,000 more subscribers subscribe to our Patreon, then we'll move over.
01:54:20.000Why not set up an alternative for people who don't want to be on Patreon?
01:54:24.000You're a big proponent on having your own thing.
01:54:26.000Well, I'm a proponent on Patreon, has knifed so many people in the back that you're setting yourselves up to have your entire income stripped from you at a moment's notice.
01:54:33.000Yeah, I think there's probably something to be said over that.
01:54:35.000And you guys are probably huge targets for that.
01:54:37.000We have the YouTube, you can do it on YouTube, but you're right, it's possible for us to just have a bunch of them.
01:54:41.000You know what I'm really hoping, actually, is that Elon basically does that for Because I don't see why Twitter can't... It's up.
01:59:42.000And I am still shocked that after every bad thing they've done and all the lies they've pushed, people are still like, I don't care, I'll still use it.
01:59:50.000And it's just like, I don't even know why George Alexopoulos was using it.
01:59:53.000I guess I just feel like that about almost every platform.
01:59:56.000We put all our stuff on Rumble, but it's like, they just like, don't get any views.
02:01:26.000I stream every Tuesday and Wednesday night and Yeah, just do that, please and I'll be this Saturday in Morris Plains, New Jersey headlining at the dojo of comedy The Boys cast is me and Danny's podcast every Friday, and you can catch me in Atlanta, Philadelphia, San Diego, Tampa, and New York.
02:01:44.000Those are the dates we have right now.
