In this week's episode of The Shimcast, we're joined by Libby Emmons of the Postmillennial and Seamus Coghlan of FreedomTunes to talk about the latest in pop culture and politics. We also hear about a strange Doritos commercial, and a story about a family who summons their dead uncle and then discovers that he's gay.
00:00:22.000Now, I'm not entirely sure they've done this across the board, but when you go to Apple's website to look at the top ten, Let's Go Brandon, Not there.

00:05:00.000And don't forget to go to TimCast.com, become a member, but boy, do I have an announcement.
00:06:35.000So someone chatted actually when we were starting the show that they removed it and I'm like no that would be too obvious so I pulled up music.apple.com US top 100 USA And it's not there.
00:09:19.000And one thing that I enjoy, and look, we all do this, we're all guilty of it, but people who don't produce anything trashing on something that everybody else loves... Right.
00:09:28.000It's like, this song got into the top charts three times, literally three times, the exact same song, and this guy's like, it's moronic, it's terrible.
00:09:35.000No, no, no, now help me out with this, guys.
00:11:21.000Well, you know what's interesting about that, too, is like, so the thing where low art became high art in American culture is what allowed Adele to be something like critically acclaimed.
00:11:33.000And now they don't like that there's more low art on things.
00:11:38.000Also, part of the thing with Let's Go Brandon is if the song was, you know, FDT but FJB instead, that would get censored all over the place.
00:12:08.000Because he was saying that YouTube deleted... It's like the Kidz Bop version, like they're all bopping to this in the car with their family.
00:12:27.000Bryson mentioned this because YouTube deleted his video from YouTube saying that it was, like, medical misinformation, and he's like, what?
00:12:58.000This music, this... You know, it's really funny when... We did a segment the other day talking about bands like Rage Against the Machine and The Offspring.
00:13:05.000And I go back and I look at some of this music.
00:13:08.000I was looking at, I think, Gone Away by The Offspring.
00:13:11.000reached the Billboard Hot 100 number one. It was like a number one single. It is a really good song.
00:13:15.000But then you look at the video for it and it's like, it doesn't get a lot of play.
00:13:19.000But then you look at some other pop music with billions of views and I'm like, it seems to me
00:13:24.000that back in the day they were artificially propping up songs that people didn't really care
00:13:32.000And now that people have the ability to choose, you can see what kind of music people really do like playing.
00:13:36.000Well, that's what would happen is record companies would send out the songs to the radio stations, and the radio stations would have to play those songs a certain number of times a day.
00:14:31.000I wonder, it's really funny because we talked about this before too with American Idiot.
00:14:35.000I remember, I could be wrong about this, but my understanding was that they had produced some garbage pop album with like acoustic songs and then people ragged on them for like not being punk.
00:14:43.000So then they scrapped the album and then made American Idiot.
00:15:55.000What should really happen is men should get up there on the stage and they should talk about how they encourage their girlfriends to have abortions or their wives to have abortions so that their careers could be that much better without having the burden of children.
00:17:40.000I guess we're kind of just in this middle period waiting for the written house trial.
00:17:45.000The written house trial is interesting.
00:17:48.000Maybe you talked about it already and I missed it, but they were saying the people who were killed in that situation cannot be referred to as victims.
00:18:04.000So I had that tweet that Donald Trump pinned on Twitter for a long time where it was like the Rittenhouse thing helped convince me to vote for Trump.
00:18:12.000And that's like the left views it as like it's proof of being far right or whatever.
00:18:18.000It's crazy though because this story with Rittenhouse shows you that left and right are meaningless other than you either are an idiot who believes fake BS or you care about facts.
00:18:30.000Destiny, for instance, leftist streamer, was like the clearest case of self-defense I've ever seen.
00:18:35.000And then his argument with Vosh, Vosh said in the Marvel movies, good guys put their guns down.
00:20:12.000Well, it's insane too because this is another reason why it's so dangerous to have a dialogue surrounding guns in a country where a large majority of the citizens have never handled a gun and most of the people on the other side of the gun debate have never seen one in person, I think, oftentimes.
00:20:29.000Because people don't realize the unbelievable discipline which was required for Kyle to literally only hit his targets.
00:20:39.000Like, he's in an urban environment being chased on by a mob, and he only hit the people who were trying to attack him.
00:20:45.000People think that weapons function as they do in the films, where anyone can just hit whatever target they want to shoot.
00:20:55.000And it's most, and this is one thing, Not anyone who knows anything about firearms will tell you when people ask, like, why would you need 30 rounds?
00:21:02.000Why would you need a 50-round magazine and a handgun?
00:21:04.000Well, the reason is because most of the time you're not going to hit your target.
00:21:07.000Especially if you don't train very often.
00:21:09.000Especially if you're an average person.
00:21:11.000You're not in the military or something.
00:21:13.000Someone who's been tactically trained or shoots every day.
00:21:15.000You're probably going to miss a good amount.
00:21:17.000And also it can take more than one bullet to take a person down.
00:21:20.000So the fact that this kid was able to, with precision, Hit only the people who are trying to hurt him when he was being chased down by an entire mob of people is a testament of adults.
00:21:33.000It's a testament to how responsible he was.
00:21:36.000He wasn't just out there shooting his gun out like a maniac.
00:21:40.000He only hit people who were a direct threat to his life, even though an entire mob was chasing him down.
00:21:44.000Well that's why, so the judge said, you can call them rioters, looters, and arsonists, but not victims.
00:21:49.000The amount of misinformation in this story, it's mind-boggling, it's infuriating.
00:21:55.000Because I expect it when it comes to politics, but this is so crazy, man.
00:22:35.000But when you have the man who becomes president making up lies to win political elections, lies about a teenager lies about trying to damage their
00:22:44.000reputation trying to protect his community yeah
00:22:47.000and yes self well it's funny to one of the reasons one of the most obvious
00:22:51.000tells from the get-go that this was not the kind of mass shooting situation the
00:22:54.000left is trying to make it out to be is people on the left were actually
00:22:57.000referring to gun laws that they thought were broken
00:23:00.000every single time a shooting occurs they pretend that there were no laws in place to prevent it because then
00:23:06.000they have to acknowledge the fact that whatever new laws are put into
00:23:09.000place just gonna be disobeyed by any psychopath who wants to murder people
00:23:19.000But if it was, if you really think someone's a mass murderer, You're not all that concerned with the regulations they broke transporting their gun.
00:23:39.000You know, I know I go, oh, Civil War and all that stuff, but I'm like, dude, it is really bad.
00:23:43.000So I follow a bunch of progressive YouTubers and stuff, and just to see the amount of fake news they peddle, I realized something today, because a lot of them I watch, they don't have sources.
00:23:55.000They won't seek out... They'll find a source that has the information they prefer, and then they'll show that as their source, like Slate.com and Huffington Post.
00:24:14.000And then I'm always fact-checking and trying to be like, whenever I'm looking at a story, I'll try and find like four different versions of the same story and then go through them and see what their source is to make sure that they're not doing closed-loop sourcing.
00:24:26.000I think that makes a lot of sense to do it that way, because otherwise you're just not sure who's reporting off of what and where they got their information.
00:24:33.000So if I can verify something, I choose to use CNN because I think it's funny.
00:24:36.000I'm like, they use their own sources against them, 100%.
00:24:38.000Well, if CNN gets it right, they deserve to be used as a source.
00:24:49.000So I tweeted, people were tweeting about the Alec Baldwin thing, and they were like, you know, Alec Baldwin did nothing wrong, and they said Kyle Rittenhouse should go to prison.
00:24:58.000And then I said, Alec Baldwin was a producer on the film who was handed a loaded weapon, didn't check, pointed at a woman, and pulled the trigger.
00:25:04.000Kyle Rittenhouse was defending a bunch of businesses from rioters who fled after being
00:25:11.000attacked trying to put out a fire, trying to put a fire out as they're pushing it towards
00:25:14.000a gas station and only fired when fired upon. And I get these leftists like,
00:25:17.000that never happened, no one fired at him. And I'm like, the New York Times reported that.
00:25:22.000So I pull up the New York Times, I show the photo where it shows the circle, it says Muzzle Flash, and then I paste it and I'm like, there's the image, here's the link, and they're like, oh please, if you go frame by frame you can make anything up.
00:25:33.000And there were journalists on the ground covering that stuff.
00:26:06.000Part of why this is such an important battle for them is because they want people to be terrified of the mob, and they want you to know that if you defend yourself, you're going to be punished for it.
00:26:13.000And so if this kid goes down simply for defending himself, the message that sends to the American public is, if there are people in your community burning down businesses and attacking innocent people, you mind your business, or if you're the person who they want to kill, you let them kill you.
00:26:29.000Because if you don't, we'll destroy your life anyway.
00:26:32.000So the thing about Rittenhouse really is that...
00:26:37.000If he hadn't defended himself, if he had allowed the mob to kill him, as 33 people were killed this past summer, none of us would know his name.
00:26:48.000But because he defended himself, he's front page news.
00:26:52.000We might, but the average person, we wouldn't be talking about it.
00:26:55.000The people who killed him, when their trial date came up, that wouldn't be a news story.
00:26:59.000They wouldn't be pushing it as hard as they're pushing the Rittenhouse story.
00:27:01.000The media wouldn't be talking about it.
00:27:02.000They're also pushing the Arbery story, the Ahmaud Arbery story, the young man who was Killed in Georgia by, um, who's a black man killed in Georgia by three white guys in a pickup truck.
00:28:08.000He said that if the defense could back up their claims that these were arsonists, rioters, and looters, then they could for sure call them that.
00:28:16.000They just have to back it up, which I think is pretty possible to do.
00:28:21.000They were literally trying to set a gas station on fire that night in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
00:28:26.000The prosecutor argued they were just trying to obstruct a road with a flaming dumpster, and the judge is like... That's okay.
00:28:31.000Yeah, the judge goes... He's like, excuse me?
00:28:50.000Mia Cathedral wrote about it at length.
00:28:53.000There was a man who was defending his shop and his elderly father against a mob of looters.
00:29:00.000And this man shot one of the looters who was trying to break into the shop.
00:29:04.000He was then condemned, vilified, mobbed online, all of that stuff for being a racist because the man he shot was black.
00:29:12.000He was simply he was defending his shop against these people.
00:29:16.000And he later killed himself because it was so traumatizing and horrible.
00:29:23.000Nobody says his name and I can't even remember his name, which is horrible.
00:29:26.000There's a story out of Philly that never got really big play at all because there was no interest from anybody to cover it.
00:29:34.000But during the height of the riots, there was a local gun store I used to go to and the guy told me, this is crazy, he told me that they got a warning from the ATF that people were gonna try and loot gun stores during the riots.
00:29:48.000Later on, I heard a news story that three guys tried breaking into a Philly gun store and one of them, I think one of them was shot and killed and like someone may have been injured, I can't remember.
00:29:59.000But I put two and two together, I was like, whoa!
00:31:11.000Let's talk about this story that you guys have with the post-millennial because it's horrifying and probably will get us in trouble on YouTube, but we should talk about it.
00:31:25.000From Post Millennial, investigation underway after Kentucky High School hosts drag pageant featuring male teens in lingerie giving lap dances to staff.
00:31:34.000Oh my gosh, I didn't realize that people dancing were minors.
00:32:23.000Well, not only do we have those kind of stories, we also have this, where at a high school they're having minor males give lap dances to teachers.
00:32:36.000It's so, the audacity of these people.
00:32:39.000First, They shut the schools down for over a year and whine and complain anyone tells them that they have to go back into the classroom and do their job.
00:32:49.000And then on top of that, they happen to be pushing all this CRT stuff, this sort of Keynesian perverse sexual education curriculum with all of these gross modern ideas in it.
00:33:00.000And then, before this story breaks, we're seeing think pieces about how parents don't really have rights.
00:33:06.000We need to allow the teachers to do their job.
00:33:07.000We have the Attorney General saying that as well.
00:33:09.000The Attorney General today affirmed that he was going to continue the investigation into angry parents, even though the National School Boards Association has basically rescinded their original letter from September.
00:33:23.000That's what they need to be investigating, of course.
00:33:24.000Not the rampant sex abuse problem in public schools.
00:33:27.000It's also not as if this is an isolated occurrence.
00:33:30.000Sexual abuse is a common phenomenon in public schools.
00:34:36.000Is basically the person who he is the sexology what Freud was to psychology I mean he basically developed this field and his accolades went on to develop CKIS which sets standards basically and largely influences federal standards for sexual education or what we call Comprehensive sexual education in the United States.
00:34:57.000So Kinsey and this is all the way back in the 40s, right?
00:34:59.000He was doing these surveys on human sexuality and he published a document saying hey What we learned from our surveys is that people are not following the sexual morals and norms that society has attempted to foist upon them.
00:35:11.000Now, his findings were faulty, and Abraham Maslow, who is by no means a religious conservative, came forward and said, this study was horribly done because he oversampled prisoners, homosexuals, prostitutes, and it was also self-reported.
00:35:23.000That was the thing Maslow had the problem with, that it was self-reported.
00:35:26.000Who in the 40s is going to tell you their sexual history?
00:35:31.000And so, on top of that, there was the official story from the Kinsey Institute, and they've changed their story.
00:35:38.000But the official story is that there was a child sex abuser who came to Kinsey, who Kinsey taught how to use a stopwatch to time his sexual abuse of the children so that he could publish it in his documents.
00:35:49.000And in the Kinsey mail report, there is a data table showing Data, I'll put it this way so I don't get your channel deleted, that you could only possibly have if you sexually abused a child to get it.
00:36:00.000And so this is the guy who's upon which we have based the field of sexology and his disciples went on to Fonsecas and it's all done with the assumptions that he forwarded in our culture and the guy was a pervert who was enabling pedophiles.
00:36:16.000Well, we're still enabling pedophiles.
00:36:22.000People see things like this and they think it just started.
00:36:26.000But the seeds were sown for this a very long time ago.
00:36:30.000You had in the 1980s in Time Magazine, Pomeroy, one of Kinsey's co-authors, saying that he thought that incestuous behavior between adults and children is not necessarily harmful.
00:37:15.000They have the academic and institutional power.
00:37:18.000So, they have control over all of these avenues of power in the United States, and they're using it to bludgeon the rest of us, and they're acting as though they are speaking out against power, because that's the language that they have used to gain power.
00:37:32.000We're speaking against this overarching, authoritarian, totalitarian moral code, and now they're using those exact same tactics to destroy us.
00:39:11.000And, uh, it's interesting, uh, you know, well, it's interesting when you look at these corporations, oftentimes they'll make decisions about who they should hire or fire.
00:39:20.000What kinds of, and when I mean who they should hire fire, I mean, in mass, like what, you know, number of minorities do we need at this company?
00:39:26.000Do we need to hire more women of color, more transgender people, et cetera.
00:39:29.000Should we apologize for this commercial?
00:39:34.000They make decisions like this on the basis of a small handful of people at Twitter tweeting at them because they think that means there is a large number of people or a large majority of people out there who are going to boycott them if they don't obey, right?
00:39:48.000So one of their employees does something wrong and then a couple people tweet at them.
00:39:52.000They lose their minds because the quote-unquote consensus on Twitter is one way.
00:39:55.000But what's really important, I just want to say one more thing.
00:39:58.000According to a Pew survey, Twitter users are plus 15 Democrats, so it would be one of the most Democratic states in the country.
00:40:05.000And that's basically what they're doing.
00:40:07.000You wouldn't quite call it market research, but that's where they're getting a lot of their data on what the American people want.
00:40:18.000And Wikipedia's first entry goes back to 2008.
00:40:21.000And if you look up CEO, it goes back to 2002, obviously, because CEO has been around for a long time.
00:40:26.000Diversity officer is basically communist party member.
00:40:30.000So the Chinese Communist Party has their party member in all these businesses that assert authority and control over how you fall in line.
00:40:38.000Now what they're starting to do is they're starting to make chief diversity officers, and it is the most insane thing you can ever imagine.
00:40:45.000It's like a tumor, because think about it.
00:40:47.000What does a chief executive officer do?
00:42:45.000It was to maintain the company itself.
00:42:47.000It's supposed to be like a good nonprofit is 90% charitable 10% costs I think it's fair to say because I work for some nonprofits where it's like 50-50 and you're like well look if paying the salaries of people running the company is consuming amount of resources And it's high, I still think it's fine.
00:43:04.000If it's 95 to 5, that's not legitimate.
00:43:08.000Especially for a very large nonprofit where the executive director is getting paid millions of dollars.
00:43:13.000I mean, it's thinkable that in certain circumstances, based on the kind of activism they're engaged in, it might be more complicated, so the administrative costs might be higher, but 95% is absurd.
00:43:34.000And then these are the tax breaks that are taken by the big multi-billion dollar corporations that Elizabeth Warren wants to pay their fair share, but they're giving all their money to the gala.
00:43:44.000It's not so easy, you know, I'm learning this especially people think that a lot of these ultra wealthy individuals will Start a nonprofit and just hide their money or LLC It's not that easy to do but they find these workarounds where they can do certain things There's there's there's like I know it's not easy.
00:43:59.000I've looked into it Well, no, cuz we're doing two nonprofits.
00:44:21.000So it's not like you can just hide all your money or write it all off, but there are things
00:44:25.000that these companies do where it's like you'll create 10 nonprofits and then they have the money
00:44:30.000as like a whirlpool shuffling around, which basically cleans them of tax liability
00:44:35.000So it's like, if you got 10 non-profits, then you can donate a little bit to each one, then they can all donate to one, then you can pay yourself a $10 million salary.
00:44:43.000There was also crazy things when I was doing theater arts because One of the things people would do is start their own theater company right so that they could do their own work Which I did that too, but other people got they created not-for-profits out of their theater companies so that they were charitable organizations when it was really just like a couple of people from Barnard or whatever who wanted to do theater projects and then they would get all of their families to donate and their families companies to donate so that all of this money would just pour in and
00:45:14.000Well, we were talking about Chief Diversity Officer, so I want to get over to our next story here.
00:45:19.000Uh, you guys, you're gonna love this one.
00:48:39.000Basically, it's like this old timey, like 1800s or whatever, and weird haunting things keep happening.
00:48:45.000And you know, like doors are opening and stuff.
00:48:48.000And then like they see a little girl and they're like freaking out and there's ghosts.
00:48:51.000And then it turns out that actually they're the ghosts the whole time!
00:48:55.000And the weird things happening were the living people doing stuff and Nicole Kidman just couldn't like reconcile the fact that she's like a ghost or whatever.
00:49:02.000And so I'm like, I'm imagining a horror film like that, but it turns out like at the end, like the twist was that the ghost was gay the whole time.
00:49:11.000I'm just like, I don't under... It's weird because they're gay.
00:50:06.000But this meme has been around for a while, like where, you know, companies are trying to... This is the thing about a chief diversity officer.
00:50:14.000They're betting on selling their product based on Yeah.
00:50:38.000Where it's like, we just make a really ridiculous religious commercial and then it's selling something like, you know, lug nuts for your tire.
00:51:23.000I think this is coming for everything.
00:51:24.000It's interesting too because so several years ago I was walking in, I don't know, where was it?
00:51:30.000Somewhere in Manhattan on the subway station.
00:51:32.000There were all these advertisements and I was with my son who at the time I think was five and there was a huge ad of people making out, right?
00:51:41.000It was just a print ad but it was giant.
00:52:12.000And now they're selling us things with their new religion.
00:52:15.000It's like the Family Guy is that joke where it's like, they're watching TV and it's a bunch of beautiful women at a pool and they're all drinking and getting drunk and it's like, drink our beer!
00:52:25.000If you do, beautiful women love sex with you!
00:52:47.000I went to art school, and I took a media literacy theory class, and one thing our professor did is he just had us watch a bunch of commercials, And they almost never have anything to do with the product ever.
00:52:59.000The reason these are weird is because they're clearly pushing a specific ideology, which is pretty strange to do in an advertisement to support a political cause that has nothing to do with the product.
00:53:07.000But usually they want to sell people an experience.
00:53:10.000So the idea is you associate their product with something positive.
00:53:15.000He would show us, in particular, these Kraft Mac and Cheese commercials, and they were really insidious because they were playful, but basically the moral of every commercial was someone in your family's betraying you.
00:53:27.000You wouldn't think it that way watching them, but you watch all the commercials and it stacks up, and the punchline is always like someone in your family secretly screwed you over to get the macaroni.
00:54:27.000I remember they had commercials for a drink called, I believe it was called Tang.
00:54:31.000And in the commercial, they'd like put the straw in the drink and then the camera would go through the straw and there'd be like chimpanzees on surfboards and stuff.
01:00:25.000They want kids out of the home by three years old, being educated in state institutions, being run by teachers unions and National School Board Association members.
01:00:35.000And they want the parents somewhere else doing anything else and not being connected to the kids or paying attention to what their children are doing or being taught.
01:00:44.000This ad actually aligns really well with the Loudoun County stuff.
01:00:48.000That when they say the parents have no right to their own children.
01:00:56.000Well, to quote Michael Malice again, the most quoted man on this show, the most disturbing thing about socialists is not that they think your property is their property, it's that they think your children are their property.
01:01:05.000Yeah, and actually I talked to a woman who is an American who is living in Norway, and she was saying that, you know how In the US, people are always like, oh, in Scandinavian countries, they have everything right on, they're really doing it right.
01:01:18.000She was saying that because there are so many taxes paid and so much of that goes to support children and childcare and family leave and all of that, that the citizens in Norway feel a right to tell parents how to raise their kids.
01:01:49.000As if, like, children should just be doing whatever makes them feel good without the parents being like... Yeah, I mean, there's a reason that children are not supposed to just do what makes them feel good.
01:01:59.000We're supposed to learn how to grow up and be productive members of society and take care of ourselves and take care of the people we We love it's like bad obviously bullying is a bad thing but to kill a child But we know when she runs she's like let's get out of here first of all hurt a child and then run away Like that's it's not a good look like fire candy.
01:02:24.000Yeah But the thing about bullying too is I don't know about you guys but a lot of people have been bullied through cultural pressure so In school, I was very badly bullied in school, and now I don't give a flying anything of what anybody says about me at any point.
01:03:39.000There was an insurance company that had to take down an ad because there was a little boy who was running through a house being joyful, wearing a dress, trashing everything.
01:03:47.000They took down this ad because it gave people the impression that they would be covering this kind of damage to a house.
01:04:37.000My concern here is, are there going to be safeguards to make sure that underage, you know, individuals, children, Sometimes I want to try it.
01:04:46.000this system to self-medicate without approval from their doctors.
01:04:48.000I'm not saying they are, I'm just saying like we're seeing active promotion.
01:04:53.000You get ads for everything and I think all of it's bad.
01:04:56.000Like I remember, there's commercials for every drug and they're like, call your doctor and
01:04:59.000see if this drug is right for you and I'm like, no, why?
01:05:17.000The issue is, when you have major pharmaceuticals being like, we want to sell a drug, and whether you're a minor or not, they're telling people to buy their drug.
01:05:25.000Whether it's for hormone therapies or not, someone could call and be like, hey, I'm feeling these symptoms, and they could be like, here's some drugs.
01:05:38.000Some people get depressed because of literal social problems in their lives.
01:05:41.000That can be solved by going to a community gathering, going jogging, exercising.
01:05:45.000And the problem is when you tell people that, they say things like, you're undermining my illness, or you're downplaying it.
01:05:53.000There are people who say things like, yo, if you're depressed, just go for a jog.
01:05:56.000And it's because jogging has been shown to alleviate depression.
01:06:00.000But some people do have medical issues that result in chemical depression.
01:06:04.000Now, I don't think we're talking about those people.
01:06:06.000If you go to a doctor, if you're feeling bad, and they diagnose you with a chemical imbalance or something, then by all means, get the treatment you need.
01:06:12.000But for a lot of people, it is good advice just to go and feel better.
01:06:19.000Pharmaceutical companies have got to sell.
01:06:21.000I thought it was interesting that pharmaceutical companies are allowed to sell on TV, but hard alcohol companies for a long time were not allowed to sell their products on TV.
01:06:30.000That's why we only saw beer commercials.
01:06:33.000It is kind of crazy to advertise pharmaceuticals on television.
01:06:35.000That should be something a doctor prescribes to you if they think it could work for you, like the idea that you would fish for customers.
01:06:41.000And why don't we have weed advertisements on TV?
01:08:30.000Well, I mean, you know, it's kind of crazy cause I've been, I've been cutting out all the processed garbage and I think it was Jack Posobiec who posted this photo.
01:08:37.000It was like life America before processed food.
01:08:40.000And it shows like normal looking people.
01:08:43.000Like dude, all of the guys walking around have like six packs.
01:08:55.000Yeah, at hotels, you press the button, and then you watch the pancake batter go down, and then there's two heated conveyor belts that cook it, and then just falls out, and you're like, there's a fresh pancake.
01:09:39.000It's Environmental, Social, and Governance rating.
01:09:42.000Someone mentioned that, as we're talking about this Twix commercial and this Doritos commercial, that the reason they're doing this is because they're trying to reduce their risk as they appear to creditors.
01:09:58.000It says, um, in ESG rating measures, a company's exposure to long-term environmental, social, and governance risks.
01:10:05.000These risks involving issues such as energy efficiency, worker safety, and board independence have financial implications, but they are often not highlighted during traditional financial reviews.
01:10:13.000Investors who use ESG ratings to supplement financial analysis can gain a broader view of a company's long-term potential.
01:10:20.000So there are companies that issue an ESG score.
01:10:39.000This other story that was breaking is that a white male who was fired from a North Carolina hospital sued for $10 million because they replaced him with a black woman.
01:10:47.000And apparently they fired a bunch of white male executives and hired black people to replace them, and the jury was like, you can't just fire people for being white.
01:10:56.000And apparently this dude was sitting in board meetings discussing diversity and how to help the hospital, and they fired him.
01:11:03.000So what's happening is, for a lot of companies, in order to improve their ESG, they're doing all the green stuff, green initiatives, and they're doing all the woke stuff.
01:11:12.000But I actually think this will backfire.
01:11:14.000For one, Doritos, with that commercial about the ghost who turned out to be gay, and the Twix thing, which has nothing to do with cookies, but it's like a boy who wears a dress.
01:12:25.000There was a time when this country was overwhelmingly Christian, and companies would be like, I am not going to offend the sensibilities by putting a pentagram on something, right?
01:12:34.000Magic the Gathering has a card called Unholy Strength.
01:12:38.000It requires swamp energy, or black mana as it's called.
01:12:43.000And the character on the card is like a guy leaning back with a burning pentagram behind him.
01:12:47.000In the early 90s a bunch of religious groups said, hey, this is offensive, you can't do that.
01:12:52.000So they removed the art from subsequent versions.
01:12:54.000Because there was a time when Christianity had some swing.
01:12:58.000Even Tipper Gore, who was Vice President Al Gore's wife, Democrat, who forced there to be explicit warnings labels on records that she thought were, you know, offensive to her sensibilities.
01:13:12.000As we lose our Judeo-Christian moral framework and it is supplanted by lack thereof, you get chaos.
01:13:23.000I mean, like, that's something that's happening at Postmillennial even.
01:13:25.000We're being targeted by, I think we talked about it before, we're being targeted by like these activists who have no moral standing in anything at all.
01:13:35.000Just say a whole bunch of lies about us.
01:13:37.000Advertisers believe them without looking into it at all.
01:13:40.000It's funny because we're getting some of that too.
01:13:54.000It's just the crazy thing is that we've had some issues where these woke activists have contacted our advertisers.
01:14:00.000And the advertisers that have an internal meeting, and they're like, we don't understand how Tim Pool is controversial.
01:14:07.000I've had conversations where they're like, they were actually really worried at first, and then they looked at the site and then did research into you, and they were confused as to what the activists were claiming.
01:14:17.000And I was like, so what's their conclusion?
01:14:32.000Well, it's because they're not incentivized to, right?
01:14:34.000Because even if what the person is saying about you is a total lie, and even if the advertiser knows it's a total lie, if they still think it's going to hurt their bottom line to work with you, they're going to cut you loose.
01:15:51.000Yeah, and conservatives for too long have just gone along with this, being like, well, whatever, I do my own thing, I'll consume whatever products I want.
01:16:00.000And there hasn't been a lot of activism on that side, or even just on the side of people who want to uphold things like I got an idea.
01:16:07.000rights, you know, they're not going around telling everyone what to do and how to live
01:16:35.000You should be, when you go to the store, I tell you this man, meat is expensive, but you, you, you, you got to understand how much you're wasting on these sugary coffee drinks from Starbucks.
01:16:51.000We've replaced all of our plastic bottles with glass bottles that we put our own filtered water in now because I'm like, it's time to put up or shut up.
01:16:58.000I'm eating better, I'm cutting out the donuts, the sugary garbage, the candy, the- all that crap.
01:17:04.000Imagine this, that photo that Jack Posobiec posted of all of these people walking around just in shape.
01:17:13.000Imagine that the left can be sickly, body positive or whatever you want to call it, unwell, suffering in their minds, and the one thing that you can do Get in shape, start exercising, cut out the candy, cut out the Doritos, cut out the Starbucks.
01:17:29.000These are companies that are selling you out and using your money to promote ridiculous ideologies that don't even sell their product.
01:19:19.000I'm saying conservatives do need to be a threat in the sense that corporations need to understand that we are a large consumer block and their business can suffer if they upset us.
01:19:29.000If they walk all over us, if they try to insult us.
01:22:00.000I'm actually... I've been talking about... Let's Go Brandon, that song being on the top of the charts is a pretty good indication that there's a market for this.
01:22:06.000And I'm talking to people about comedy specials.
01:24:34.000But people started commenting, and I guess the tweet was performing well, so it started showing it to a bunch of people, including people who have no idea who I am.
01:24:41.000And I was getting so many angry comments from people, like, I have no idea who you are!
01:24:45.000Why am I seeing this in my feed right now?
01:25:23.000I think it's great what you guys are doing, too, because I love what Daily Wire is doing, bringing that out, and they're doing sort of a Hollywood-style version of that.
01:25:31.000But I feel like what's needed is indie culture, you know?
01:25:33.000Non-left-woke indie culture that's focused on actually making funny things, beautiful things, real art things, you know?
01:25:45.000So I've been traveling a lot during the pandemic.
01:25:50.000Because screw everything, like I may as well.
01:25:53.000And I was recently in Nashville for a Daily Wire thing, and we were out on the glorious, spectacular music row, crazy honky tonk street, Broadway, right?
01:26:10.000There were like thousands and thousands of college children out there puking on each other and hooking up and doing whatever else they're doing.
01:26:19.000And, you know, five years ago, I would have said, oh, this is really disgusting.
01:26:46.000So, I go to the art museum, and the first thing I see outside of the frist is a big sign that says I need a timed ticket reserved online, I need to socially distance, and I need to wear a mask.
01:27:37.000I knew exactly that I would rather be puked on on Broadway by drunk-ass college students than stuck in the Frist Art Museum with no one making eye contact because we're all like this and terrified of each other reading political diatribes from curators.
01:27:53.000What she's saying is she would prefer Let's Go Brandon to Adele.
01:28:16.000But there is something about Individual creators putting something together in an independent fashion where they don't have, you know, large investors behind it.
01:28:27.000Again, I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, but it's also really important and healthy to have that indie culture vibe as well.
01:29:19.000So if we're gonna get into a comedy special, Probably not as well.
01:29:23.000But we have to just start building it up and then hopefully over time, you know, it'll take off.
01:29:28.000So what we're doing with Tales from the Inverted World, the first series of articles that Shane has made are kind of like ideas and introductory.
01:29:36.000And now he's got a bunch of ghost stories from the Confederacy, from like Sherman's march to the sea, the lost gold, the conspiracies.
01:29:41.000So these are gonna be different books.
01:29:43.000Like a legit full book of horror anthology, ghost stories, history you can buy and read.
01:29:47.000So we're going to be doing everything.
01:29:52.000I also talked to a company about turning it into a TV show.
01:30:53.000Yeah, just like ask, you know, just put out an open call.
01:30:57.000And you know, and that way, you're not paying any attention to ideology, you're just paying attention to good comedy.
01:31:02.000And you could say, hey, you know, if you're a comic out there, and you want to send us five minutes or three minutes, whatever it is, and then we'll see who gets to have a special.
01:31:12.000I think we can do a sitcom very easily.
01:31:49.000We're gonna get to it, but for now, we'll get to Super Chat.
01:31:51.000So if you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, go to TimCast.com, become a member for all that awesome members-only content.
01:31:59.000We've got a couple episodes of The Green Room, which is a Friday show, which is the bonus content where we're downstairs hanging out in the green room.
01:32:05.000And the last episode was Viva and Barnes hanging out with everybody.
01:32:11.000And then we have the Castcastle bonus vlog, which is from the event we did on Saturday.
01:32:15.000So, we're starting to produce way more content for members.
01:32:18.000I'm really excited about Tales from the Inverted World, because this is like the first official non-timcast, like non-timpool property we're expanding into, where it's Shane's hosting it, a team is producing this, they're really great at what they do, there's art, there's like a hundred plus different images per episode, and they're creepy, amazing drawings.
01:32:56.000It's so that the people who are there, who have a memory, I came here with my friends, we saw this band play.
01:33:02.000And then you say, here's their shirt, they buy it.
01:33:04.000One day they go in their closet, and as they're moving their shirts, they see that, and they remember that night.
01:33:10.000You are giving them a piece of that memory they can never lose and they will always remember exactly what it meant and where it came from.
01:33:16.000That's what you're actually selling to people.
01:33:18.000And so we talked about the importance of selling literally anything and everything you can, especially unique items, right?
01:33:25.000So like the Gorilla, for instance, or like Ian's Obsidian Stones, we're going to be selling this stuff periodically so that people will have one-of-a-kind items to remember, you know, what they watched, why they enjoyed, things like that.
01:33:36.000So, this is why we're going to be doing NFTs, this is why we're going to be doing auctions, all of that stuff.
01:33:40.000That being said, let's read some superchats.
01:33:55.000So what I want to say here is I love you as an individual person and my goal here, and I like to joke and play around, but my goal here is not for somebody who believes something differently than me to walk away feeling like I dislike them or don't care about them.
01:34:22.000I tried having a simple and open conversation with Seamus about my religion and the hollow earth and the lizard people that live inside of it, but he was just insulting me.
01:34:33.000The hollow earth part was fine, but when you start coming at me talking about climate change...
01:34:51.000It's a show about conspiracy theories.
01:34:53.000The second episode, a bunch of JFK clones get released, and so they have to get Grassy Knoll, his name is, to hunt them down and stop them.
01:35:26.000I'll go to Carter, who's our music producer, and be like, I need these versions to be recorded, like these songs to be recorded with these alternate lyrics.
01:35:34.000Shilling in the name of, you better do what they tell you.
01:37:19.000And the AFP, which is a global fact-checking organization, came out and said that it was right to fact-check satire because it's hard to tell the difference these days.
01:37:27.000Well, that's more indicative of a very serious cultural problem.
01:37:31.000So I did a video about this a while ago, the fact-checking that was occurring via Snopes and the Babylon Bee, and Snopes tried to justify their fact-checking by releasing a study which showed that something like in some cases up to 30% of conservatives believed that this Babylon Bee article was true.
01:37:49.000What they actually did Was they took a number of Babylon Bee articles, removed them from the context of having been produced by a satire outlet, and then they reworded the headlines to take the jokes, and then just stated them as if they were factual.
01:38:04.000So it was like, one of them is, you know, Joe Biden dons umbrella cap and then claims, you know, free money for everyone.
01:38:11.000and then they take out the context and they put Joe Biden offers plan
01:38:44.000It was an obvious joke, and they reworded it to say, Don Lemon has openly stated that nothing could make him change his mind about Russiagate, and then asked people if that was a real headline.
01:39:47.000All right, so this is Super Chat from 20485742895729875.
01:39:49.000Let's go, Brandon has medical misinformation because it starts off with a part of speech by Biden claiming that if you get the vaccine, you won't get COVID.
01:40:04.000Well Biden is wrong and he's sowing disinformation.
01:40:07.000Speaking of Biden sowing disinformation, I released a video, yes I'm shilling for myself once again, called Biden Debates Biden's Vaccine Mandate.
01:40:15.000We were able to find audio clips of Biden like diametrically opposed to himself on the vaccine issue when Trump was in office versus now.
01:40:23.000So just watch that to entertain yourself and also be informed on Biden's new stance.
01:41:31.000Please read the Chop Block Podcast super chat right there.
01:41:36.000The Chop Block Podcast says, I see Tim Pool is a guest again on ShimCast, but in all seriousness, love you guys and all you do and hey Lids and Libby.
01:41:47.000Mark Amenderis says, Green Day's unreleased album you mentioned was scrapped because the master recordings were stolen slash lost.
01:41:53.000When they restarted, they made American Idiot.
01:42:39.000Dialogue equals progress says, on diversity, equity, and inclusion, I consult companies and many HR departments are pursuing this because they want to take advantage of cultural differences and diversity of thought to progress faster than the competition.
01:42:50.000The only problem is they all have it's homogeneity of thought, not diversity.
01:45:47.000We just did a very informative video on the budget and how it is a myth to say that we could cut the defense budget to pay for all the social welfare spending people want.
01:46:53.000Sergeant Wilkie says, companies are charging employees because they are unvaccinated.
01:46:58.000My employer is charging $100 a month, and I read an article, LA workers charged $130 a week, just returned from Hawaii, and all restaurants required Vax ID, location of stay, or a negative test every 48 hours.
01:47:11.000I wonder what the Party of Workers' Rights is gonna have to say about that.
01:49:17.000Now, obviously, like, not all the customs of Halloween or Day of the Dead, for that matter, are necessarily Christian, or even something that Christians should partake in, frankly, but in its origins, yeah, it's Christian.
01:50:12.000Yeah, you know, you can use framing to like, really mess with people's minds on stories.
01:50:19.000So Alec Baldwin traveled really, really far out of state crossing state lines, specifically for the purpose to go where this woman was working, and then point a gun at her and pull the trigger.
01:51:15.000But to co-opt their culture, which is generally Catholic, to promote sexual lifestyle choices that we believe are immoral is extremely insulting.
01:51:40.000Yeah, especially witches unless it's a witch unless it's a witch.
01:51:44.000She's getting in anyway She'll teleport in I guess JR says Tim t-bones are hard to cook because they're actually like three separate steaks.
01:51:53.000Well, we're gonna slow cook them for like 12 hours So it just turns to mush great Brisket is the best period that's it You like brisket the best, huh?
01:52:38.000I mostly just buy vegetables and pasta.
01:52:42.000When you go to a farm to buy meat and you're getting fresh farm meat, everything is between 15-20 bucks and the tenderloins are 15 bucks.
01:52:50.000I used to live near a place that slaughtered chickens on the Lower East Side, and after living near that place for just a brief period of time, I didn't want to eat chicken really ever, ever again.
01:53:02.000I would never have gone there to buy some fresh chicken.
01:53:05.000Their screaming would annoy me and I'd hate them even more.
01:54:34.000Well, so she runs from him now, panicked, frantic, and then he chases her and then jumps on her and doesn't, he just jumps on her and then stands there.
01:54:43.000And so we're like, okay, we need to get this new thing set up.
01:54:46.000We're separating them all so that she'll have time to be by herself and heal, and then he'll have to find other preferences, I guess.
01:54:53.000He's going to move on to the next victim.
