On this week's show, we talk about what's happening on the world's most influential social media platform, why it's dying, and why it might not be as bad as you think it is. Plus, why MSNBC host Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks she has a heart condition.
00:00:25.000People have been talking about it for several weeks, and people have been talking about how if you lock your profile on Twitter, you'll get more engagement.
00:00:33.000That doesn't seem to make sense to me.
00:00:36.000And we had this story, this Twitter thread from Dave Rubin last week where he talked about the Fractal Rube Goldberg machine that was Twitter.
00:00:44.000And that there were actually secret codes, new codes, that were censoring conservatives that were censoring people like Dave Rubin.
00:00:51.000So the reason why I say it's dead is because two things happened.
00:00:56.000Something happened in the algorithm a couple weeks ago where all of a sudden people stopped getting comments, replies, they stopped getting retweets, stopped getting quote tweets, they stopped getting likes.
00:02:15.000Went into YouTube, signed up, and said they were a young child, and what they were fed was a bunch of weird consent, queer consent videos, like, telling 9 through 12 year olds about how they can consent, if you know, like, yeah, no, like, so, that's just kind of weird.
00:02:31.000So we'll talk about that, plus, we have, uh, we gotta talk about this MSNBC thing.
00:02:34.000This MSNBC host, who says that she got a cold in December, And then felt pain in her heart.
00:02:44.000The doctor said it was from a... First said she had reflux.
00:02:47.000It's been a month and a half, and she says she still has, now, myocarditis, or some kind of heart issue, and it's like, if it was from a cold, can the common cold cause myocarditis for a month and a half, like you still have this cold?
00:03:01.000This is interesting because MSNBC dedicated a full segment to this and brought in a doctor to talk about it, and it's making people talk about these wild theories about what really happened.
00:03:09.000So we'll get into that, but before we get started, my friends, head over to TimCast.com, become a member to support our work.
00:03:15.000If you would like to help the machine keep on a churn, if you like this show and you like the work that we do, joining us is the best way to support the work we're doing.
00:03:23.000And of course, as you know, we are setting up our physical location where people can come and hang out, and that's going to be in West Virginia.
00:03:30.000The plans are coming in for the bar we're going to build.
00:03:32.000We were talking today about Ian's Crystal Cove.
00:04:49.000You were talking about, we were talking about pericarditis and myocarditis a moment ago, and you were talking about a bunch of stuff I didn't understand, but we can get in all that with the MSNBC story.
00:04:57.000Yeah, you're not a doctor, but you have massive medical experience.
00:04:59.000You work as a, what is the title of your role with the company?
00:05:03.000Pretty much MSL, so Medical Science Liaison.
00:05:44.000Let's jump into this first story and here's why, there's two reasons why we decided we're going to open up this show leading with the Twitter being dead story.
00:05:53.000The first and most important thing is that it's, It's a very slow news day, nothing's going on, and this is the most important thing we can talk about.
00:06:01.000It is a slow news day, there is some other stuff we can talk about, but I really thought it would be super boring to just be like, another development in the Hunter Biden story, and the Feds raided Biden's Penn, was it the Penn-Biden Center, whatever, and that happened in November, and no one knew it happened until now, so it's like, of course there's weird, corrupt stuff going on, but I'm just like, let's talk about something more interesting.
00:06:22.000So I go on Twitter, And a bunch of people I follow, you can see this meme, ALX says, opening up Twitter right now, all the locked profiles.
00:06:29.000Everyone started, not everyone, but a lot of people started locking their profiles.
00:06:32.000High profile accounts started locking their profiles so that no one can retweet their content, no one can share their content, yo.
00:06:41.000You combine that with the fact that already people were reporting for the past couple of weeks a weird algorithm change that resulted in zero engagement, And it feels like Twitter is just totally dead.
00:06:53.000This feels like, and I'm sure these people will un-private their account at some point, but it feels like how, like, Canada's, like, offering assisted suicide to people.
00:07:01.000Like, if you want to kill yourself, we'll make it easy for you.
00:07:04.000If you want to block out your social media so we don't have to ban you, we'll make it, you know, maybe they can incentivize you to ban yourself.
00:07:11.000So, like, people are self-selecting and they're, like, removing themselves from the gene pool.
00:07:46.000People are basically banning themselves.
00:07:49.000Anything I shared from these accounts, gone.
00:07:52.000Anybody who follows me, can't see them.
00:07:54.000It's like, come on, like, these people have, it is strange to me that they were convinced the only way to retain engagement was to actually shut their accounts down.
00:08:03.000It's dead internet theory taken to like a whole new level, but you know, honestly.
00:08:10.000What if what was really happening with Twitter was that Twitter was falsely boosting the numbers on tweets to make it seem like there was engagement to trick advertisers into spending money.
00:08:19.000And now that Elon Musk is cleaning up the code, he accidentally removed whatever fake thing was there that generated fake comments or fake likes.
00:08:37.000And I'm pretty sure him and, what's the other guy's name, Huffman, talked about how in the early days of Reddit, they would pretend to be users so that people would think they were talking to people.
00:08:48.000Because if you go on a social media platform and comment, no one responds, you're like, I'm bored, I leave.
00:08:53.000So they would pretend to be different people and comment and create fake conversations.
00:08:57.000And now they'll ban you for doing that on Reddit.
00:09:02.000I'd go on there and I'd post a Mines thing and then I'd go on with my personal account and be like, this is really cool, upvote, upvote everyone when I was working as an admin.
00:09:14.000And the reason why when you lock your account, you get engagement is because there's the locked engagement fluffer and there's the un-private engagement fluffer.
00:09:24.000I gotta call them fluffers, you know what I mean?
00:09:28.000And I'm the only guy who got rid of the code on one of them.
00:09:30.000Dude, it just, it makes me laugh because it's like so many people who, you know, have lauded other people for basically like following trends and, you know, just like chasing the like, chasing the clout.
00:09:41.000And now all of a sudden, you know, you're seeing people like, what's, what's going on, man?
00:10:25.000I think people are trying to find a way to crack the algorithm.
00:10:28.000Back in the day on YouTube, if you could figure out how to post on everyone's page at once, then all of a sudden your channel broke through the algorithm.
00:10:34.000People could get really famous in a relatively short amount of time on social networks, but a lot of these networks now are ready for that, so they're trying to stop it from happening, but people are still hoping they find some gold in the river sift.
00:10:44.000Dude, it used to be on YouTube that you'd make a video where you're talking about George W. Bush and the war in Iraq, but the thumbnail was just like a big-tittied woman.
00:10:55.000I'm not even kidding, because people would click on it.
00:10:58.000And so you're like, I'm not a woman, but if I'm going to get those clicks, and the thumbnail would be like a guy going like this, and it would be like, war in Iraq, and there would be just like a big, large-breasted woman next to him.
00:11:10.000And they used to do this thing, too, where they would They would make videos with fake thumbnails and fake titles, and when you clicked it, it would just play like, it would show like a sentence, and it would play music, and they would get massively thumbs down, but they generated tons of hits.
00:11:25.000YouTube started to clean this up, like, okay, we can't allow this, but if you look at some of the earliest YouTubers, and go look at their, like, big ones, and look at their YouTube channels, you will see they just, for some reason, tended to have thumbnails that needed to talk about women in bikinis.
00:11:38.000Lisa Nova, huge in 2006-7, and I remember the video that really popped off the thumbnail was just a big butt crack.
00:11:46.000And all of a sudden it got millions of clicks.
00:11:49.000And I don't think it was her butt crack, it was like Kasim G's butt crack.
00:11:59.000It's the one where he said that he was given a budget to produce a commercial for a Nike and instead of doing that he just traveled around the world in 10 days because it was more fun.
00:12:08.000And it ended up being an amazing commercial.
00:12:09.000But the thumbnail for it is two women in bikinis posing and him taking a picture.
00:12:15.000People knew exactly what they were doing with how they engaged.
00:12:18.000The crazy thing to me is That we've created a points system for our lives.
00:12:24.000We've video gamified politics in life.
00:12:27.000Like with Twitter, these are political personalities being like, I'm not getting engagement anymore, so I'm going to lock my account to get more engagement.
00:12:33.000And I'm like, that sounds like someone made a mouse trap.
00:12:36.000And put peanut butter in it and you were like, I'm gonna go in there and get that peanut butter.
00:12:44.000It is it's like, yo, somebody at Twitter figured out how to ban the conservatives in one sweep by getting them to walk into the trap themselves.
00:12:54.000But there are tons of people who aren't on Twitter who, like, if you explain this, like, everyone's locking their account, it's a big deal, they're gonna be like, what?
00:13:03.000Like when things start to irritate people on Twitter, it circles around, like there are parts of Twitter
00:13:09.000that won't care about anything that's going on.
00:13:11.000Engagement is sort of universal, like trying to drive traffic to your profile
00:13:15.000is like the one unifying front through all of Twitter.
00:13:18.000And even then, there are tons of people who don't use the platform who don't care about this.
00:13:22.000Hey, let's just call it what it is, bro.
00:13:24.000Like we discovered the meta, the like the one meta build on Twitter
00:13:30.000and the mods got mad and they patched it and now everybody's all just like freaking out.
00:13:34.000So honestly, I'm trying to figure this out.
00:13:37.000What if all the conservatives just kind of like locked their accounts or everybody's conservative and independent just locked their accounts and the journalists literally can't like write hit pieces anymore.
00:13:46.000That's what I'm thinking, that we should all just like... That's actually a good point.
00:13:49.000I was gonna say that all of these accounts that locked their tweets, all these people that locked their accounts, all the news articles that have recorded those tweets, gone.
00:14:07.000Because that'd be interesting, too, if you just, like, periodically, like, lock your account for 24 hours so, like, anyone who's used your stuff can't get access to it.
00:14:36.000I think that a lot of these problems, people are searching for a way to break an algorithm that they don't understand because the code is private.
00:14:42.000If the code was public and you could see what the algorithm is doing, you would know whether or not this was going to have any value locking your account.
00:15:46.000Jack Posobiec wrote about his old neighborhood when he was a kid and how it's fallen apart and crime ridden.
00:15:51.000And then I'm just like, yeah, that's the result.
00:15:53.000They're actually all symptoms of the same thing, cultural fragmentation.
00:15:57.000I was saying that, you know, you go back, imagine a small town of 3,000 people and you've got a nice God-fearing white family, a nice God-fearing black family, a nice God-fearing Latino family.
00:16:07.000My point is, they, Asian family, they agree culturally and ideologically on their worldview.
00:16:30.000No one is, you know, when everybody agrees with each other and wants to be part of the same community, they're not looking to exploit each other.
00:16:37.000They're not looking to commit crimes against each other.
00:16:54.000When you have a fractured moral society and people just stop caring, and you get Democrats who are like, I'm voting for this guy simply because I hate you, then the people they end up voting for, like the Bidens, are crime families.
00:17:08.000And then because you end up with a crime family in government, they end up burning everything to the ground.
00:17:14.000He's kind of like a, not quite, an old washed-up politician.
00:17:17.000He's kind of like an old washed-up politician.
00:17:19.000Like after 1988 when he was plagiarizing in his presidential run and he had to drop out of the race, he was pretty much laughed at, scorned, and like never taken seriously again, until all of a sudden Obama Puts him as his VP.
00:17:40.000It's like the Democratic Party that selects the running mate.
00:17:42.000I thought Obama put him in as like, oh, I want an old white guy.
00:17:46.000I want a business guy to represent that business part because I'm the rebel.
00:17:50.000Nah man, you remember they ran it by him and then Biden had that infamous little script where he was like, you know, we got the first clean, well-spoken black guy.
00:17:59.000And you know, it was like a very, you know, they literally had the place set up.
00:18:04.000And so it's just, it's, it's kind of funny because, you know, Tim, you were saying, it's just like all of, all the people hate each other and they vote candidates in just to spite other people.
00:18:13.000Well then, that means Biden is literally just like an embodiment of the hatred and contempt that Americans have for each other.
00:18:22.000They have hatred and contempt for us, you know?
00:18:24.000And the way they conduct themselves, right?
00:18:25.000Like, I have never found a reason to write about it, but like, Hunter Biden has this illegitimate child who he won't acknowledge, even though he put her mom on the payroll for a while.
00:18:35.000And like, now her mom, who I believe was a stripper, I'm not sure, Um, is, like, trying to get her daughter to have the Biden last name so that she is, you know, acknowledged, is connected, because it's beneficial to be- to be known in America as a Biden.
00:18:49.000And to me, like, this is someone who doesn't acknowledge this child.
00:18:54.000Like, it sounds horrible to- to saddle your child with the name of a man who doesn't want to acknowledge her, who had another child after, who they bring out for photos.
00:19:04.000He- he has asked a judge to presi- to, uh, to not let this happen.
00:19:08.000Meanwhile, Grandma Joe Biden brings his toddler son that he had in wedlock with this South African film director.
00:19:15.000They present themselves as this family, and they love the young women, and they're so supportive, and then really, on the other hand, they don't practice anything they preach.
00:19:24.000And we see this time and time again, right?
00:19:26.000No one is perfect, but it's different to say, oh, this is the package we're selling you, America, and please ignore the other stuff, right?
00:19:35.000It's like someone took like all the negative things of like, it's like somebody that doesn't, does not understand American culture, except for the bad things basically took and distilled all of the worst aspects, drugs, fatherless children, money laundering, corruption, and just like literally just imbibed them into Biden family.
00:20:07.000Like, these, like, Tiffany, Trump, and I'm gonna make this point because I've been thinking about it for weeks and have not had a chance to do it, to make it, but Tiffany, Trump got married the weekend before Naomi Biden, right?
00:20:18.000Very similar styles, very lavish wedding, both, like, from powerful families, but, like, Naomi Biden's is good and it's representational even though her family actually has all this scandal and all this weird connection and they treat each other strangely and the
00:20:33.000Trump family, by all accounts, like, is unusual, right?
00:20:36.000A man who's been divorced three times has all of these kids, like, not super typical.
00:20:40.000But by all accounts, all of the siblings get along really well.
00:22:05.000And I'm just thinking about all this, and I'm like, then I saw Jack Posobiec's article about how his neighborhood fell apart.
00:22:11.000And I'm like, yeah, it's because we have no cultural cohesion, we have no shared moral framework, and so we end up with leaders who are basically on the Titanic, watching the iceberg coming, right before it hits they run, grab a whole bunch of silverware
00:22:26.000and jump in a lifeboat and just cast off. Instead of actually steering the ship, saving
00:22:32.000people, or being like a real captain and saying, you know, last person off the ship or you go down
00:22:36.000with it, they're off the ship first and then even tell you what happened. Oh, no worse. They're
00:23:16.000I think that's, I think a lot of the business dealings Hunter Biden is doing is basically, like, these people are running this country into the ground in more ways than one.
00:23:24.000From, from neighborhoods falling apart to the tribalistic nature of humans, of society right now.
00:23:30.000I'm wondering if their attitude is just like, look, one man's not going to fix this.
00:23:33.000Grab what you can, every man for himself.
00:23:35.000I've been thinking about, oh, No, I was about to say, it's like a multi-layered hedge, basically.
00:23:40.000You already know it's going to burn down, so why not extract all the wealth that you can, that way when it burns down, you're sitting kind of pretty, looking like royalty.
00:23:49.000Then you can come back and the ashes are there, and then you can suddenly say, hey guys, we have money, we can fix this, and then you basically take all the credit, rebuild it, everybody's ground down and depressed.
00:23:58.000It's kind of like Russia post-Soviet collapse, really.
00:24:02.000That's that's why all the drinking ruski, you know, sort of, you know, those stereotypes come from because when the Soviet collapsed, they basically gave Russian people all these waivers and, you know, things like this when these people couldn't even feed themselves.
00:24:16.000And so then basically you had the oligarchs in the American banks basically come over and buy up all almost all the industry and, you know, turn Russians into basically slave slave workers.
00:24:26.000And then next thing you know, Well, it's bad, but now the oligarchs run everything and they've already got all the money.
00:24:48.000That's why I said we need to make America great again.
00:24:51.000And I don't know if I'm saying it in the exact same way that all the Trump supporters are saying it, but I imagine, probably, when Jack Masovic brings up Pizza Hut when he was a kid, and there's a salad bar, and if you read a book in school, they gave you a free donut, and you got a free, I don't know, there's a bunch, all I remember was pizza.
00:25:06.000Because I remember there was a pizza next to a Dunkin Donuts, so I'd get the free pizza and then when we were leaving I'd go get a free donut.
00:26:25.000But no, it's just sort of funny, you know, when you sort of think about it, you know, I grew up in a world where, like, we used our own vernacular and our own dialect when we talked.
00:26:36.000And it was mainly just because, you know, it was shorthand.
00:26:38.000Certain words we just didn't know how to pronounce.
00:26:40.000Now you see people out here purposely typing, like, purposely misspelling, and, like, the errors and just the misuse of there.
00:27:27.000Because it's what hyper-capitalists would do in civilization if you were playing against them and they had a government run by a bunch of uber people just like capitalists.
00:27:36.000But I'm wondering, For the capitalists of the United States, the oligarchs of the United States, if they want to control the world, they would want to ally with the capitalists of Russia against, I would think.
00:27:46.000Either they're too stupid and they think that really they can beat them in a sort of attrition, or they're intentionally taking us to war to kill off the common man so that, like you said earlier, they could come back and rebuild with all their finances.
00:28:02.000That's where you're wrong, kiddo, because these aren't regular capitalists.
00:28:07.000Crony capitalists don't care about free market competition.
00:28:10.000They just want to fix the game for them to win.
00:28:12.000But, you know, it's funny you bring that up, because actually, you know, Russia now, the oligarch problem isn't near as bad as it used to be.
00:28:20.000Like, I don't know if you guys noticed, but when the IMF came in and they tried to do what was called shock therapy, where you convert a formerly communist nation to a capitalist nation.
00:28:29.000The oligarchs botched the whole thing on purpose because they wanted to buy all the infrastructure up for cheap.
00:28:34.000Putin, when he came to power, actually drove most of those oligarchs out of Russia.
00:28:44.000So a lot of this anti-Putin sentiment that we see, you know, Putin's Listen, let's go for what he is.
00:28:49.000I mean, I'm not saying he's a good guy, but you know, compared to some of the other Russian leaders, the people of the Russian Federation, he's actually a moderate, you know, I've heard that.
00:28:57.000And, you know, you can't take my word for the gospel, but a lot of Russians are, you know, pretty frustrated that he pity padded, you know, with the war that he had this kind of kid's glove approach with Ukraine to begin with.
00:29:08.000And then, you know, when they brought in Serovich in or General Armageddon, basically now they're
00:30:17.000So I, you know, I know people, I mentioned it, I have friends who are Ukrainian and they'll say that like the average salary is like 400 bucks a month or something like that.
00:30:27.000And if you want to buy property, the prices are comparable to a property in the United States.
00:30:32.000It's like $300,000 to buy a studio apartment in the city or something like that.
00:30:35.000And if you're making $400 a month, you will never buy that.
00:30:37.000But if you're a developer or coder, you're making $150,000 per year.
00:30:42.000US, while living in Ukraine, you're living like a king.
00:30:46.000So what ends up happening is, the way they described it to me, The property is all owned by oligarchs, and everyone else has to rent from them.
00:30:54.000You can buy it, it's for sale, but only the wealthiest people and foreigners come and actually buy up the property.
00:32:04.000The invasion doesn't stop the day after it starts.
00:32:07.000If we're still at presence there, we were invading in the moment.
00:32:10.000Where's your, why aren't you speaking out against what you can actually control?
00:32:14.000A lot of them are too young, and just, if I can be crass, too stupid to even understand that.
00:32:22.000People don't see the whole bigger picture, honestly.
00:32:24.000You know, Ian mentioned we were living in ignorance, and someone super chatted saying, this is Christopher Marr saying, Ian, living in a haze of ignorance is called living the dream.
00:32:33.000But I think what ends up happening is, you get a generation that raises their kids in ignorance, then when they pass on the world to those kids, this is what you get.
00:32:44.000You get people being like Vosh when he came on the show, and I'm like, isn't the corruption of the Biden family from when he was VP like a concern to you?
00:32:51.000And he's like, oh, I don't know anything about it.
00:33:05.000There's a lot of bad guys, you gotta look into who they are.
00:33:07.000Yeah, I think that's what, you know, I can't say the RNC isn't guilty of this, but definitely the DNC, like, that's why they like young voters, because it's like a blank slate.
00:33:16.000Yeah, I would say the DNC, like, that's why they often push these guys.
00:33:21.000I think the RNC too, I think all political parties operate this way, but I think anytime you get this new class of 18 year olds who have the right to vote, They don't remember 30 years of political history and especially it's even ones who are super politically engaged they just haven't had enough time to learn everything and all the nuances and why this senator doesn't get along with that one and this deal you know you can only know so much when you're young but getting them
00:33:46.000Getting anyone to support your ideology, especially when you buy in with like sort of the name brand.
00:33:52.000I think of a lot of modern politics like rooting for sports teams, you know?
00:33:56.000Like you don't know why your family supports this team, you just do.
00:33:59.000I think that is something that some political parties take in stride, you know?
00:34:05.000They don't have to explain the sins of people they're now electing to president.
00:34:09.000Things that they did when they were senators mean nothing to people who are new voters.
00:34:13.000Let's jump into this next story, and it's kind of changing the subject, but it goes in line with what we were talking about.
00:34:32.000YouTube Kids is grooming children with LGBTQ propaganda.
00:34:36.000Aldo, I think you actually need to, you buried the lead here, and I mean this with all due respect.
00:34:41.000The real concern is that at a certain point he, so what Aldo says is he signed up an account made for 9 to 12 year olds, and then one of the first videos that pops up recommends a kid meets gender non-conforming person.
00:34:57.000The issue is when it gets into the ideas of consent, and they're telling children about consent, and they start talking about, here we go, consent is giving permission to someone or something.
00:35:08.000Why are they giving 9 and 12 year olds consent lessons in a sexual context?
00:35:13.000This is what's alarming about what YouTube Kids is doing.
00:35:16.000So you think it's just in the schools, and Ron DeSantis has his plan to get rid of diversity, equity, and inclusion, but everybody in this is five steps behind what's actually been going on.
00:35:27.000And going back to Elsagate, people have been giving their kids YouTube, their kids are then, they're like, YouTube Kids, it's good for you!
00:35:34.000And then you get some adult, in a sexualized context like drag, saying, let's talk about what it means to consent.
00:35:40.000And then, in this thread, I think it's in this thread.
00:35:42.000You have Billboard Chris, we've met on the show, a guy telling him that their goal is to decouple age and consent.
00:35:50.000Quite literally saying he wants 12-year-olds to be able to consent with adults.
00:36:02.000They can't come out right now and just say it.
00:36:05.000It's got to be a slow, creeping, malevolent force that goes under the radar.
00:36:09.000So when mom and dad are busy with work and they hand the iPad to the kid and sign up for YouTube Kids because YouTube Kids is safe, what does YouTube Kids say?
00:36:23.000The internet and television is like inviting a stranger into your home to babysit your children.
00:36:28.000If you wouldn't pick some random person off the street, you cannot trust anything that comes from the internet, cable TV.
00:36:35.000It is written by someone you don't know for a company that you don't know what their values are.
00:36:41.000Even if you pick one video, the YouTube algorithm immediately serves up another video.
00:36:45.000There's no way for you to know for sure what's gonna happen.
00:36:48.000And that's why, again, I can't help but think it's like inviting Just a random person you met at the grocery store to come watch your kids for two hours.
00:36:56.000And I get it, like, it's hard to be a parent.
00:37:36.000Well, that's for sure, is that people are overly sexualized children will become overly sexualized adults and think it's normal or okay out of their own guilt.
00:37:44.000Like, hey, it's not so bad what happened to me, so, you know, this isn't so bad.
00:37:50.000But it's crazy because it also plays into what we've been talking about, about the erosion of community.
00:37:54.000Again, when people are so into sex, when they're so into themselves and their own genders, like, they're not paying attention to what's going on.
00:38:01.000They don't know about the local school board or city elections.
00:38:03.000They don't know about any of this stuff.
00:38:05.000All they know is just, you know, it's about my sexual identity, my proclivities, you know, indulging myself.
00:38:13.000Nothing else matters outside of just treating yourself.
00:38:17.000And it just it takes your eyes down, you know, basically.
00:38:20.000And so it's, you know, everything in life can be likened to sports.
00:38:25.000So basically what typically happens in football, you know, normally quarterback, he gets the ball.
00:39:09.000Yeah, it sounds super fast, like within a lifetime.
00:39:12.000I can go and double check it, but this was like, this is stuff we should be focusing on.
00:39:16.000Aliens are watching, they're just going like, you know, they had a lot going for them when they went to that moon, and now I don't know what they're doing.
00:39:22.000We thought they might be a threat, but not so much anymore.
00:39:25.000Some rich alien oligarch just lost all of his bet on, like, this interdimensional betting app, and he's like, God dang it, humanity, you screwed the pooch!
00:39:32.000But it reminds me of that expression, like, uh, you can't see beyond the nose on your face, right?
00:39:35.000Like, if you can't stop but think about, like, your own identity and your own sexual pleasure, and we're introducing that earlier and earlier, like, how can you expect anyone to spend time thinking about, like, The society around them, or moral philosophy, or science, or anything else.
00:39:50.000Everything is about the internal, and I think it's good to be in touch with your emotions, but you can't be so dominated by your personal consuming thoughts that you are divorced from the world around you.
00:40:02.000But wait, there's more, because we gotta put a neat little bow on this.
00:40:06.000This ties into Big Pharma, because now when you get all these kids exploring all of these alternative sexualities, Now you got the cisgender to trans pipeline.
00:40:17.000So they can now suddenly, if they want to explore, let's get some puberty blockers.
00:41:38.000And you've talked about this a little bit, Ian, like...
00:41:40.000There are alternative platforms, right?
00:41:42.000Like, I know some parents who want to share photos of their kids, but out of privacy concerns, they don't use Facebook, they use something more private.
00:41:50.000Like, there are people who don't rely on the rest of the world for entertainment and for us, professional content, and I think that's healthier.
00:42:00.000It's just hard because, I mean, all of us need it.
00:42:20.000No, I think of, like... I'll show up looking back and just kicking the feet, some straw in the mouth, and just cast a line and forget about all of those.
00:42:27.000Well, I think of, like, all the reporters who, like, had to go sit in really boring town hall meetings to, like, get the information.
00:42:33.000Then they had to call people on the phone and talk to them constantly.
00:42:36.000Like, journalists still do that from time to time, but, like, we are used to getting things much faster because we have the internet.
00:42:42.000Now they just read tweets and report on tweets.
00:42:46.000All they do is literally just write articles based on what... Oh, this world reacts to this, this world reacts to that, and they just... Oh, bro.
00:42:54.000Do you know how many times some news outlet has picked up one of my fake tweets and ran it as fact?
00:42:59.000No, for real, like, there's just, how about when I said the Queen should be impeached?
00:43:04.000So I can't remember exactly what happened, but I said, impeach Queen Elizabeth, and then MEAWW.com wrote an article saying, you know, podcaster Tim Poole calls for, you know, Queen Elizabeth to be impeached, and I was just like, holy crap.
00:43:17.000When that started, it was the indication of the rupturing of that form of media is when they just started quoting Twitter.
00:43:26.000Journalists, like, from the New York Times, walking into the middle of, you know, the Lower East Side, and there's a guy outside just, like, rocking back and forth.
00:44:00.000It's so funny though, because yeah, you, you sort of think about this and then this goes into AI, like AI is literally getting all the data off of all the crazy stuff that gets all the clicks.
00:44:40.000There have been several times where I've tweeted something that is intended to make neither point So, it's like, I meant to highlight just the circumstance.
00:44:50.000Like, I called the MSNBC Yasmin Vesuvian story about how she got the cold and got myocarditis, and I said, I called it anti-vax propaganda.
00:44:57.000Because what, she had a cold for three months?
00:44:59.000Clearly, they're making a segment that was going to trigger anti-vaxxers and make them think this was it.
00:45:04.000Like, I'm not intending to make any point other than this is the narrative.
00:45:08.000This is like, Just highlighting this thing, basically.
00:45:13.000But they will take it and be like, Tim Pool is dead serious and thinks MSNBC does these things.
00:45:17.000And I'm like... And part of their story is also, look how many people are listening to this guy.
00:45:22.000Look how many people are listening to that.
00:45:49.000He says lots of athletes are finally catching on that left-wing sports media ask them political questions so the left-wing sports media members can write their own left-wing political opinions.
00:46:11.000That is continuously brought up and this incidents that, in my opinion, have nothing to do with players, but somehow you keep dragging players into it.
00:46:30.000I think you should ask yourself that question, not me.
00:46:34.000Sorry, just to clarify on that though, does it frustrate you that, particularly last night for example, there was a clear pro-Russian demonstration happening within the grounds of the tournament, that these people are coming and using the Australian Open as a platform for these kind of demonstrations?
00:47:46.000Maybe somebody says, are in my control, but I don't believe that.
00:47:51.000So, I don't know what you want me to answer.
00:47:53.000So, anyway, here's what I love about this.
00:47:55.000For one, obviously, these athletes are like, okay, at this point, what are you asking about?
00:48:00.000We had that with, what was the name, Ivan Provorov, the Flyers, who was just like, look, I'll answer any question about sports, and then someone asked him about gay rights, and he's like, what did I just say?
00:48:45.000So, I'm curious, when cooking eggs in the morning, do you agree with Chef Andrew Gruhl on adding vinegar afterwards and mixing it in?
00:48:56.000Are there peer-reviewed studies on this?
00:48:58.000See, I don't know what this question has to do with anything other than I can then go out and be like, you know, clinical researcher says no vinegar on eggs and it makes it sound like there is a scientific basis.
00:49:10.000It makes a fake story and then they can go, I got a scoop!
00:49:30.000And you know, in real life, people still take journalists seriously.
00:49:34.000That's what really freaks me out because, you know, they're getting Their information from these people who are basically like scraping the bottom of the barrel and saying, anybody got a scoop?
00:49:48.000And this is what I always said was that, you know, back in the day, they always said Twitter's not real life.
00:49:53.000I'm like, yeah, it's not real life, but it's got real life implications.
00:49:56.000Like people literally use Twitter to source what they're going to take out to the other people and talk about around a water cooler or, you know, to write articles about.
00:50:04.000Well, and like for this incident, like, First off, that athlete's Belarusian.
00:50:20.000Like, here's my chance to get launched into the political on the political beat.
00:50:25.000So I get more money or I can raise my profile because I had this good moment.
00:50:28.000Like, it's just such a weird way to operate.
00:50:31.000And especially since I know there are people who would love to cover sports journalism at this level, to go to the Australian Open and interview these people, because they love the sport, not because they are trying to make some political point to further their career.
00:50:45.000Like, if you're gonna further your career on sports journalism, ask her about preparing for this match.
00:51:24.000People often ask, how do you do this job, watching all this stuff, reading all this stuff every day, and I'm like, you know, it does get really hard sometimes.
00:51:31.000I mentioned that we were hanging out at the casino, because we like to go there now.
00:51:35.000I started playing Hold'em last week, so I've played like five times now.
00:54:06.000Or not literally, but, like, just so much money and tanks and, like, you do what you need to do to defend something that is inescapable, amorphous.
00:54:15.000I want to talk, before we move on too far from this, I want to talk about consent, which was part of this original story.
00:54:19.000I don't know if we will tap it off, but like part of what these people were like getting young kids to come on, and this is part of like social degradation and things like that, trying to get 12 year olds to consent.
00:54:28.000I'm thinking genetic age and solar age are different.
00:54:31.000You can have an 85-year-old body that's been around the sun 85 times, but because you heal your body so much, it looks like it's 40 years old.
00:54:38.000It essentially is a 40-year-old body, but you've been 85 years.
00:54:42.000Just because you've been on Earth 18 times around the sun doesn't mean that you're more or less genetically evolved.
00:54:50.000we might have 12-year-olds that are more mature in 150 years than 25-year-olds are today.
00:55:35.000When we start doing informed consent forms for research studies, for pediatric studies, where kids no longer need a parent guardian, because up until the age of 18, pediatric studies, and this is, you know, agreed upon by everybody ever since the Declaration of Helensky and all of these other things, And the Belmont reports that kids have to have a guardian that has capacity to sign that.
00:55:59.000So when they start, you know, conducting research studies and, you know, God forbid, you know, your kid gets enrolled in a study or something and they didn't have to have you sign it.
00:56:09.000That's when you know you've gone too far.
00:57:25.000The only time that Kamala Harris has ever said something that was ever correct was that one video where she said, kids are just really dumb and they're going to do dumb things.
00:57:34.000But then her party now wants them to vote and now wants them to affirm to medical treatments and, you know, uh, sexual relations.
00:58:12.000And it says, Twitch streamer Hassan explained why he was filled with rage from watching Mr. Beast's newest video where he cures a thousand people's blindness.
00:58:38.000That we shut off access to a 10 minute procedure because we paywalled it and decided that like some people just simply can't get it.
00:58:47.000It is so insanely frustrating that it, like, it's up to, like, one YouTube guy to, like, decide to make content out of it that, like, the people who are too poor can't just fucking see.
01:00:19.000And I'm just sitting here thinking like, well, you know, I don't think we should just take people's buying power through taxation or through printing of money to then give someone else some kind of medical treatment.
01:00:28.000So I probably disagree with Hassan on that one.
01:00:30.000But look, if we're in a country that's sending all this money overseas for like gender studies programs, imagine if instead of Pakistani gender studies programs, we were like, we're gonna cure a bunch of people's blindness.
01:00:41.000So I gotta agree, it's kind of annoying that some YouTube got to make content out of it for these people to actually get the treatment they need.
01:00:47.000Meanwhile, they don't fix our streets, they don't fix our bridges.
01:00:52.000I'm not necessarily saying that we should have taxation to fund this infrastructure or a new deal.
01:00:57.000I'm saying, so long as they're taking all of our money, let's compromise and be like, spend it on us!
01:01:02.000Fix our bridges, fix our roads, create jobs in construction that can restore our infrastructure, secure our borders, bring manufacturing plants back here.
01:01:11.000Instead, it's war in Ukraine, a border country in which we are not on the border of, and then our people are blind and the YouTube guys gotta clip their eyes.
01:01:20.000He also gave people 50 grand, a bunch of them.
01:01:23.000And one guy, he gave a new Tesla because he had never been able to drive.
01:02:00.000Like, if we're spending billions of dollars on Ukraine, it's hard not to be an American citizen and be like, we have problems that if you were going to spend this money, you should spend it domestically.
01:02:09.000But I also think we shouldn't at all make this Mr. B's fault, right?
01:03:46.000Let me tell you what would piss you guys off the most.
01:03:49.000is how much big pharma agencies probably get paid to make those generic commercials where it's just like b-roll of people just doing like basic things like people skipping through people skipping through a meadow people going to a bar and they literally make commercials for drugs like you see it every single drug commercial just has like people on random things like people on a cruise ship or and it's like scooters like going downhill And they spend millions, they spend millions on those ads just throwing it down the drain.
01:04:18.000And it's just like, you sort of think about how much money is wasted and how that could actually be used to pay it forward like this.
01:04:25.000Well, and I think about like the Ronald McDonald House, that was McDonald's big initiative to like give people a place to stay when your kids in the hospital.
01:04:32.000And like Wendy's has the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.
01:04:34.000Like there are businesses that have philanthropic efforts, but, and I'm not saying those two are perfect examples of this, but like Often it's like, look at this thing that we're doing, as opposed to just doing the thing, right?
01:04:47.000Like, yes, Mr. Beast made a video of this.
01:04:50.000On the other hand, like, I don't really follow his content, but like, from what I know, this is sort of something he does.
01:04:56.000He regularly tries to help people out.
01:04:59.000Like, if you had a pharmaceutical company that just did a nice thing instead of staging a photo op, like, I guess I just don't trust them not to sort of Cheap in the effect, right?
01:05:09.000And, you know, counterpoint to what you guys are saying, you know, how about, you know, we invest in, you know, doing these things, you know, if you start making a big deal about, you know, like giving away medical treatments and stuff, and you're a company that does that medical treatment, which, you know, logically, that's what you'd be equipped to give away.
01:05:27.000Who's gonna buy your product anymore because they can just wait for you to give it for free.
01:05:31.000Like this is what happened in Africa when we started, you know, doing all the food drops, you know, agriculture stopped because again, everybody was sort of subsisting off of a lot of food drops.
01:05:40.000And so we sort of crippled them and that's just human nature.
01:05:43.000So to a degree, I can see it, but I can also see, you know, when you start, like, de-incentivizing the profit motive, companies don't invest in, you know, researching these treatments to come up with new ones.
01:05:54.000You know, we can give Pfizer all the crap we want about what they're doing, but at the same time, again, if one drug And I know this is going to sound terrible, but you know, if them making that money allows them to fund one drug that can save somebody from a terminal rare disease, you know, it's kind of like, well, you know, it's evil, but you know, I kind of see it.
01:06:28.000Yeah, but their whole thing was like, if you buy a pair of shoes from us, like, you're spending money, but we're giving shoes away, right?
01:06:34.000So, like, theoretically, this sounds good, but there are, of course, consequences.
01:06:38.000They destroyed the economy in a bunch of African towns, because the cobblers all went out of work and couldn't buy anything.
01:06:44.000Everybody had free shoes, but it was, you know, the guy who gets the leather goes to the cobbler, the cobbler then makes the shoes, and then buys the leather.
01:06:53.000All of a sudden, no one's buying leather anymore.
01:06:55.000All of a sudden, the guy who makes the shoes can't make money.
01:06:58.000Now, because he can't make money, he's not buying the leather.
01:06:59.000The guy who gets the leather can't make money, he can't buy food, neither can buy food.
01:07:02.000Now the farmer is like, I don't have any money to get the tools I need to make food, and the economy just collapsed.
01:07:07.000No, I'm saying like, you know, look, people who are blind need surgery.
01:07:09.000for each other, making the machine work.
01:07:11.000And then some rich people came in and dumped a bunch of shoes on them.
01:07:14.000No, I'm saying like, you know, look, people who are blind need surgery.
01:07:18.000I mean, that's just giving jobs to doctors, I guess.
01:07:21.000Jimmy actually pointed out, is this not even like a great thing for capitalism in general
01:07:25.000to put, you know, people that were before, you know, broken or hurt back into the workforce
01:07:31.000They're healed, they're healthy, they're ready to work.
01:07:33.000So that's a good thing for capitalism as well.
01:07:34.000Though what he was doing technically, I don't know if you'd say it was a capitalist thing or not.
01:09:42.000He's never going to he hasn't brought his kids back to see his childhood home.
01:09:46.000Welcome to MILF Manor, the most repulsive, exploitative, sordid, hate-to-hate show of all time, where blindfolded moms rub down shirtless sons and TV finally hits rock bottom.
01:09:56.000This is, uh, MILF... MILF Manor, where moms go and get a bunch of sons and they rub them.
01:10:33.000In Idiocracy, it's Luke Wilson, it's a research experiment for hibernation, they forget about him, it's funny, it's Mike Judge, and then he wakes up 500 years in the future, he goes to some guy's house, and then, is there something, is there audio playing?
01:11:19.000So what they're doing is they're standing with their arms behind their back about two feet away from each other across a table and they are not allowed to guard or defend.
01:11:25.000That's the thing about boxing that's legit is you can defend yourself.
01:11:28.000You can't defend yourself in the sport.
01:13:35.000You know, so I want some of you things to have something, to come feel all this rage and all this pain in this hand, because I will put it in their face.
01:13:44.000I came out here to do one job, and one job only, and that's to put on a f***ing show.
01:13:49.000I don't feel like any human could sustain an unconstructed shot on me.
01:14:37.000How is, what, I don't get it, what is this?
01:14:40.000It's, it's a, it's a bastardization of something that is already popular, that Dana Weiss... Yeah, I was gonna say, all of this reminds me of UFC.
01:15:29.000Like, I don't, I don't understand why this would be fun.
01:15:32.000Also, like, are they going to try to do, like, the wrestling thing where they're like, oh, well, these two have a rivalry because he hit him really hard in the face.
01:15:47.000You yell doorknob and then you're allowed to hit them in the arm until they touch the doorknob or they fart and say safety and you can't call doorknob.
01:15:55.000We get a bunch of guys in a ring and they're all standing around and then everyone's got to eat a can of beans an hour before the event and then you're standing there and then as soon as someone hears it everyone yells doorknob and then you'll hear the guy yell safety and then like the timer will call and be like It's good!
01:17:00.000So if you're training in power slap, I would imagine your training, your sparring partner, they call it sparring, isn't going to try and break your face because you're going in to perform pretty soon.
01:17:09.000So there might, I can't imagine that they're going as full force.
01:17:12.000So how can you possibly prepare for something?
01:17:13.000I don't know because in Muay Thai we have hard sparring too and you know some it depends like
01:17:18.000you know if you're a light spar maybe you're just focused on like the technical maybe it's just the
01:17:21.000fingers just tip but maybe if you're hard sparring you know you like giving some full palm action you
01:17:26.000know you like to get real deep in there on the I don't know man this is this is what we're reduced
01:17:33.000We're having philosophical conversations.
01:17:36.000American Gladiators was like... Agility.
01:17:43.000He's like, here's 68 channels of it or whatever.
01:17:46.000It's like, we made fun of it, but that, they had padding, and they had those big Q-tip things, and they were trying to knock each other in the foam pit.
01:17:54.000At least that was fun and silly and no one really got hurt.
01:18:27.000But this gives them a chance to have it to be innovative and like figure out how to get through it and then the first one that does it we're like wow she was so sideways yeah sideways put her back like I don't care I feel like yeah that's true and it's it's fair to acknowledge it but like it's a chance for her to really overcome true adversity.
01:18:44.000I shouldn't say unfair to women, it's unfair to people with smaller stature or shorter arms, but it tends to be the women.
01:18:49.000Because I'm watching, I watched one where the woman, her fingers touched the edge and just falls and it's like she tried, like her arms aren't longer.
01:18:55.000Well and like what are they supposed to do if they like readjust the wall so they're closer, it's like slightly unfair to all the other competitors.
01:19:00.000Like that's what I liked about American Ninja Warriors, they just sent anyone down that thing and like it doesn't matter who you are and like some people struggle on some things, other people struggle on other parts of the course.
01:19:09.000Like it's fascinating to watch because it just depends on I don't know.
01:19:14.000Maybe we should make the doorknob show.
01:20:06.000Okay, I have just read very little about it, but like, it's a bunch of women who you might consider cougars, like their moms, all of them have to be, and they go to, I assume you would consider them a cougar, I'm not an expert, you go to like, they were filming in Mexico, but one of the requirements is that they bring one of their single sons.
01:20:25.000So like, their son is living with all these guys, they're sort of weirdly group dating, because as a culture we've decided that's something we're into.
01:20:32.000And like, therefore, like, I saw one clip of it and this one mom is like, careful ladies, I might sleep with your son!
01:20:44.000So like if if your mom is single and you have a brother who's also single they could go on this show but your brother will be living with all these guys who are kind of trying to sleep with your mom.
01:20:54.000Bro like imagine imagine that you're going to school and you find out that your mom is on this show and like you're getting roasted in the class you're getting roasted in the class and you you have like one good clap back and they say but your mom was on milfiling Like, what do you say about that?
01:22:45.000I don't know how you got to have like the 10 cats variety like game show where like every time you just come up with like a new game show every week.
01:22:52.000We could totally do that at the new studio, because you have that big building.
01:22:56.000I was thinking of a game called Do You Want to Live?
01:23:23.000No, no, yeah, what you do is, so, um, I watched this thing, it said that every person who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and survived... Yeah, regretted it.
01:23:31.000...said that they, yeah, they regretted it.
01:23:33.000They realized that... And then as soon as they jumped, the first thing they thought was that all of life's problems could be solved, except having just jumped off this bridge.
01:23:40.000So that means people who didn't make it were in regret.
01:23:43.000So you take people who are looking for a maid, and then you make life flash before their eyes, in a manner of speaking, and then they're all of a sudden like, I love life!
01:24:57.000It probably wouldn't do well if it was called, like, Young Studs, too.
01:25:00.000If it was focused on the young guys that were gonna get laid with the older women, that might not play as heartily as, like, we're doing this for the ladies.
01:25:06.000Like, this is all about strengthening women in our society.
01:25:15.000Yeah, that's a good way of putting it.
01:25:16.000I just feel like if it's creepy if you made it adult men and younger girls, you should also see it as creepy if it's older women and younger men.
01:25:22.000Isn't that just Epstein's Island at that point?
01:25:27.000I was talking about how we're gonna do a morning show that's news.
01:25:32.000Kind of like The View, but with sane women, because we've got women who work here, moms, and then other people who have asked, like, is there some way there can be a show that's like moms talking about issues that matter to them in politics and culture, because The View certainly ain't in it.
01:25:49.000And then I was like, we could totally do it.
01:25:50.000We've got a bunch of people that come in and out of the show who are friends of ours, that are guests, that are moms, that talk politics, that are sane, moderate, totally conservative or libertarian, even a little liberal.
01:26:30.000They'd be standing on, like, a moving platform, and the wall would be moving towards them, but there would be, like, a cutout on the wall of a body.
01:26:36.000Yeah, they have to make the same position and like stand in the right spot or they get pushed off the platform
01:26:41.000And it's so funny. They're like turn at the last minute They're like because they realize like three feet off and
01:26:46.000they're trying to modulate and yeah We should think of weird stuff we can do like that's that's
01:26:50.000not vulgar and just disturbing like MXC. Yeah No, I mean that you know, we could do like MXC like like
01:26:58.000Red Rover contest or something You can't really do a Red Rover cause it's not really a game.
01:27:02.000We closed on the dude hard in that game once.
01:27:14.000I think part of like entertaining stuff is like, I think so many people who make entertainment right now are like, it has to either be sexual or it has to be super violent.
01:27:24.000And actually, like, what's entertaining is seeing people, like, try hard, you know what I mean?
01:27:28.000Like, with American Ninja Warrior, like, pro freeze tag, like, people are trying to accomplish something.
01:27:50.000Actually, this would be a really great sketch where it's like 10 MMA fighters with 20-year-old daughters, and they're all brought in, and it's just all the dudes beating the crap out of each other.
01:28:03.000Like, he's trying to talk to this girl, but also he's got his eye on his daughter and that other guy who's talking to her.
01:28:57.000Well, I think they also don't want to take the risk, right?
01:28:59.000Like, if you put a new show out there, then you are like opening yourself up to cancel.
01:29:03.000If I recycle old material that at one point you were kind of okay with, I'm protecting myself a little bit.
01:29:07.000I don't like it, but that's why I have to watch all the Fast and Furious movies, because I was very anti-sequel, and then I lost a bet on pop culture.
01:30:38.000Like I've never thought about cars so much in my life as I have while watching this franchise.
01:30:42.000You go to lithium mines and free a bunch of slaves.
01:30:46.000I will personally lobby any production house or whoever's gonna fund this for the next Fast and the Furious movie, Vin Diesel and the crew are driving, they're testing an experimental new car with like a fusion, you know, plasma reactor that explodes and the energy hits all of them and they all get a different superpower.
01:31:15.000And then, you know, they're fighting and, like, Vin Diesel is, like, super strong and can jump really high and he, like, punches the ground and the ground explodes and the other guy can shoot lightning from his fingertips or something.
01:31:24.000One guy gets, like, because when they get knocked out of the car, like, one guy gets, the gasoline gets on him and he gets lit on fire, so he gets, like, fire powers.
01:31:30.000One guy's, like, gets hit by the airbag, so he becomes, like, wind power.
01:31:33.000You know, one guy's, like, stuck under the tires, so he gets, you know, this 20 ground power.
01:31:40.000You could have, like, the villain could get stuck with a bunch of the carbon dioxide from the exhaust, and he's, like, breathing it in, and it's making him all hot.
01:32:07.000So why not just make a different movie about this?
01:32:10.000You realize when you play games like Software Inc.
01:32:13.000that you can buy IPs, so I could buy, like, an old movie and then put that name on my movie that has nothing to do with it, and they would just sell more tickets.
01:32:21.000I get that there's just a cult following.
01:32:23.000There's something about this I'll never totally follow.
01:32:25.000Ludacris gets the ability to, like, interface with machines.
01:32:28.000Because that's his character, he's like the tech guy.
01:32:30.000No, that made me mad, because when I watched... He's smashed into the car.
01:32:33.000He's plugging in the USB right as the blast hits him and he's like... He'd be Technomancer now.
01:34:45.000And it was awesome to see, like, they rebooted Spider-Man, but twice, so they just had to bring in their character to say it's like a multiverse.
01:34:53.000And it was fun, and it was funny, and it was cool to see that they brought these other characters back, even though they're completely different movie franchises.
01:35:00.000And the rumor is for the new... So they did Infinity War, where all the Marvel movies come together.
01:35:06.000The rumor is they're going to do Secret Wars, which is a multiversal saga from Marvel.
01:35:10.000So they're apparently going to bring in Hugh Jackman from the X-Men movies into the MCU and have all these different characters from different movies in one... I think that's a fantastic idea.
01:35:20.000I want to see Dom in Fast and the Furious swing a fist with Megatron and they stop and energy bursts out and Optimus Prime is there.
01:35:54.000Optimus Prime is a small-town robot who runs a big job as a truck driver, and when Dom brings his cousin back, she's got a busy business boyfriend, who's the worst, and she falls in love with Optimus and realizes she never left her hometown, and then Dom fights Megatron.
01:36:17.000No, I mean, I guess for me this, like, I also am not super into the MCU or, like, the DC thing where it's, like, here's 87 characters and movies and, like, I just feel like the plot gets lost.
01:36:27.000But I recognize that this is a personal, like, I just am not into it.
01:36:30.000Well, look, don't worry about all the characters because eventually you're gonna watch so much Fast and Furious that every character is just going to be dumb on the screen.

01:36:53.000We're gonna have a members-only uncensored show coming up for you in just about an hour and ten minutes.
01:36:57.000They go up on the website front page every day about 11.
01:38:10.000I got to thinking about all the small towns in PA with boarded up windows down in Main Street and how they'll never come back, sad man.
01:38:17.000I was talking about how if you go to small towns today, you'll see the downtown Main Street, not everywhere, but a lot of these small towns, there's just nothing.
01:38:27.000Like in Brunswick, a lot of these businesses, there's just nothing there anymore.
01:38:32.000We drove through recently and there was a shop that's gone now, and I was like, what happened to that shop that was there?
01:38:39.000I always tell people, I was saying, Look at that boarded up old building and imagine what it must have been like when it was first built.
01:38:48.000And there's like a young couple that just got married and they bought their first house and they're standing in front of it and they're smiling and they're like, we're gonna make it work, this is it.
01:38:55.000And they go in there and it's like 1950 something and they're painting the walls and they're just like, this is gonna be our dream home.
01:39:00.000And then it's like, it's like that movie Up.
01:39:02.000You know, now it's all broken up, fallen apart, there's no one left anymore.
01:39:05.000So that's crazy, I remember I was in, I think I was in Ukraine.
01:39:10.000And I walked, I saw this old, like, just rusted piece of crap car.
01:39:14.000And I thought about how, you know, when that car was first sold, some dude who bought it was like, yes!
01:39:28.000All the good feelings, all the, like, you know, when you first buy that car, like, everything you think you're going to do with the car, and then just to see where it is now, like, it's so disappointing.
01:40:40.000A lot of it literally, if two people try and make a sound at the same time, only one of the voices can be registered as a one.
01:40:46.000The other one will be registered as a zero, and you'll hear mute.
01:40:48.000So two people can't, like you and I can sing harmonies, and since it's an analog conversation, it's not gonna, I don't think it'll mess up.
01:40:57.000We've also had good We've had good response from, like, streaming on one channel and then flipping over to the other channel 20 minutes in.
01:41:03.000So, like, we could stream on David's channel and then... Yeah, or both or whatever, but, you know, if he came out, I'd love to have him on.
01:41:10.000But I really would love to have Kyle Kalinske, and I think we're gonna bring Kyle on.
01:41:15.000I think, you know, we disagree on some political issues, but I remember one of the first experiences I had watching Kyle Kalinske's content was him defending Carl Benjamin.
01:41:24.000And some leftist was attacking Carl and calling him a white supremacist, and Kyle was like, that's not true.
01:41:28.000Like, you can disagree with Carl, but he's not that guy.
01:41:34.000I like the name of his channel is Secular Talk, so I imagine at some point he had some sort of religious, like, epiphany or something, whether it was to get away from it or to go toward it.
01:41:42.000I'd love to hear his story about that.
01:41:44.000Plus it makes sense that I think he's getting married to Crystal Ball, and she's also very similar.
01:41:49.000Like, she's progressive, but, you know, obviously her and Saga are in debt either.
01:41:53.000Yeah, like, they have disagreeing opinions, but, you know, you can have a conversation about what you disagree on, but you're having a real conversation.
01:42:09.000But I do think that they end up associating with a lot of bad faith people.
01:42:13.000And I suppose people could probably argue that for us as well, like some of the people who come on the show are probably bad faith.
01:42:18.000I think my issue is only like, dude, we invite people on, like we had the Krasensteins on, you know, props to them for coming on, but a lot of these lefties won't do it, and I think it's because they're legit grifters.
01:42:29.000It's like, you can't accuse, like, they come out and they'll call us or other people on the right grifters, when quite literally, Ben Shapiro is like, please come on my show to have a conversation, and they're like, no.
01:42:39.000It's like, how is it grifting if he wants you to go on his show and say literally whatever you want?
01:42:42.000Yeah, they're full of it. They're full of it, man.
01:42:44.000It's just, uh, it's one of those situations where, again, if you don't believe what you're saying, if you don't care
01:42:50.000about it enough to at least have a baseline, then yeah, you're a grifter in the worst way.
01:42:53.000Now, if you're just making money from it, then I mean, that's not bad. Like, you know, you're not a grifter, because you
01:43:21.000And you know, right now, it's got some implications because you know, Russia, those Shahed drones that they use to basically, you know, put Kiev in the dark came from Iran.
01:43:32.000So there's still a lot of stuff coming out about that.
01:43:35.000So I don't I don't think it's wise to even, you know, render a decision.
01:45:55.000She's like, I had a common cold and it turned into pericarditis and then a week later it turned into myocarditis and it's been a month and a half and I still have a cold.
01:46:01.000And I'm just kind of like, real quick, do people get colds for that long?
01:46:53.000AKStorm says, a lot of people I follow that did lock their accounts and their first post is asking if they're finally being seen.
01:46:58.000I saw a bunch of people all of a sudden, all my retweets were gone, all of my quote tweets were broken and I'm just like, I can't like, dude, you just cut yourself off from every post and it just is a weird thing, man.
01:47:27.000I'm saying that if large portions of high profile personalities have locked their accounts and no one can see what they're posting and I can't share their stuff anymore and they did it because no one's getting engagement.
01:47:43.000And look, Dave Rubin did that thread where he said the code is what they call a fractal Rube Goldberg machine, and they're trying to fix the code, but they pull one piece out and the whole thing starts breaking apart.
01:47:56.000They're going to rebuild it from the base up, they said.
01:47:58.000Yeah, it might be that the site is under intense anesthesia at the moment and is unconscious.
01:48:41.000Patriot American says, Tim, when your West Virginia location finally opens, will you be promoting the address so people can submit applications to work there, or have you already received applications for it?
01:48:49.000We have, like, a couple applications from people who met us at events, but once the location is open and we say what it is, you'll be able to Google it.
01:49:17.000So I think there's a lot of excitement.
01:49:18.000And there was an all-ages drag show nearby, and that actually got me close to canceling This location saying like, I don't want to be in a town that would advocate for this.
01:49:30.000And then I thought actually the opposite.
01:49:33.000We're going to bring our influence into this town and just be like, we don't do this here.
01:51:18.000It was like the kid got caught up in gang violence.
01:51:21.000Then, what is it, like the big bang happened where all the gas exploded?
01:51:24.000All the bang babies and they became metahumans, basically, and so now, you know, he's literally at school with, like, super-powered school bullies and he's just all the while coping and you know kind of coming into age
01:52:05.000What if the war is part of the World Economic Forum Great Reset, and Putin is the faux villain, and they're damaging Ukraine on purpose because you have to destroy before you can rebuild?
01:52:18.000How do you radically transform something to create what you want if there's a layer already on top of it of a culture and a society?
01:52:25.000Decimate it, and then... So this is what happened with the NHS in the UK, for instance.
01:52:30.000How did you get nationalized healthcare in Europe?
01:52:43.000Conspiracy theory, I'm not saying it's true.
01:52:45.000I'm saying at the very least, whether that's true or not, what Russia is doing will result in a reconstruction that will be radically different.
01:56:12.000And that could potentially be the thing, right?
01:56:14.000So we spent, I think, like half a million bucks on the Times Square stuff throughout last year.
01:56:20.000And this was over like four months, so it's not like all at once.
01:56:23.000All at once is not possible, but spread out over time with revenue coming in, and then we spend our excess on trying to do something impactful.
01:56:30.000I think we could potentially do something like that.
01:56:31.000Maybe in a few months after we generate enough revenue, then we can spend it on something You know, Jimmy was already pulling in revenue, I believe, when he started feeding it back into the system.
01:56:48.000It's actually a pretty nice investment.
01:56:50.000But I mean, have people send in ideas, you know, and maybe like every month draw an idea and have that person, you know, come see it in action or something.
01:57:04.000Cage of the Mix says, Tim needs to stop putting black guests in front of black, dark-colored backgrounds.
01:57:08.000I'm sure it's just a coincidence that it happens every time.
01:57:10.000There's one guest seat, and we have the soundproof over the door, because it's a bathroom, and there's three layers of soundproofing for obvious reason.
01:57:19.000So, but, you know, I guess fair point.
01:57:22.000It's just to check to see if you're paying attention, because one day, one moment I could be here, next moment I could just ninja away.
01:57:30.000People are pointing out the contrast like Hannah Clare is very pale and so this it's like that white photo of Joe Biden behind me, too But like we just always put the guests there so As the brand behind him, which is nice for when the from the clips come out.
01:57:46.000You always remember what show it's well I don't know.
01:57:50.000It's always been the guests Yeah, I think it would be weirder if we were like, you know, the black guests have to sit Look, I might start giving y'all the eyebrow.
01:58:34.000I don't have any kind of white clothing.
01:58:38.000I don't know, you remember that commercial where they did this diversity camera thing where they're like, our cameras can actually take pictures of black people.
01:59:23.000I don't understand why we're making this up.
01:59:26.000As a Muay Thai practitioner, I already make jokes about Jiu-Jitsu practitioners, but to see them trying to get a Kimura over the dashboard, that's hilarious.
01:59:37.000I'm looking at lowkickmma.com, and you see a dude jumping over the seat.
01:59:42.000The dude in the blue is trying to wrestle him down.
01:59:44.000People, so like, if you're in MMA, do UFC fighters transition into this?
01:59:48.000Is this a launch pad for a different career?
01:59:52.000Typically, you start training at a gym, and you start amateur, so you're taking a few fights in little, small amateur leagues.
01:59:58.000Some people, they go the route, they start in street beefs.
02:00:01.000If you've ever watched street beefs, it is addictive.
02:00:04.000But then they go to like these smaller leagues, things like, um, you know, well, you know, we can go into Strikeforce, but you know, you got Caged Titan and stuff, and they eventually just move and they get signed to UFC.
