On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the latest in the pedophile grooming scandal on the internet, and the fallout from it. We also hear about Joe Biden's prediction of a recession, and we have a special guest on the show, Carrie Lake.
00:01:06.000I was out, I was doing work, I came back home and I looked at my computer screen and there was a thing, because I had Twitter open, and it said, you are being locked out of your account unless you delete the following tweet.
00:01:18.000This is why, let me tell you why this is crazy.
00:01:20.000I was calling out grooming and I don't not like willy-nilly just call people groomers like some people have been doing.
00:01:28.000So there's one story where, well let me pause a second.
00:01:31.000We know that Twitter and Reddit have announced they'll ban the term groomer because they say that word applies to all LGBTQ people, which I have certainly argued against quite a bit.
00:01:41.000And so I had a tweet That was specifically showing a group of adults showing sexual content to children, and I said, yes, they are grooming your kids.
00:03:54.000But anybody who signs up now will be supporting Parallel Economy, which was co-founded by Dan Bongino, is also partly owned by Rumble, and it is censorship-resistant payment processing.
00:04:03.000The reason why I got on board with them, for one, I don't want to be censored, and two, I want to put my money where my mouth is, and I would ask you all to do the same.
00:04:10.000Stop giving your money to people who hate you.
00:04:12.000Supporting us also supports Rumble because we use Rumble infrastructure.
00:04:15.000It supports Parallel Economy and that means if more and more businesses start using Parallel Economy and more and more customers are processing transactions through Parallel Economy, then we can knock down PayPal and these other big tech Silicon Valley weirdo cult people and maybe start pushing back against censorship.
00:04:30.000And I also have another really quick announcement.
00:04:33.000Shout out to everybody who helped make it possible.
00:04:34.000We got massive 96-foot billboards in Times Square, ranging from the totally legitimate to the totally absurd.
00:04:41.000You can see here, it says, Timcast IRL, here's the quote on it, is the best podcast I, a 25- to 54-year-old male, have ever listened to, with a quote from Reactor, YouTube star who is, of course, my brother, plays a fictional character.
00:04:53.000And then we got Luke Rydkowski, of course, on the other side, parallel, 20 ad sets, 96 feet tall, sending a message.
00:05:00.000And that message includes a 96-foot-tall advertisement of my rooster.
00:06:00.000I'm an independent rapper, author, host of the Real Talk with Zuby podcast.
00:06:06.000I also do coaching and public speaking.
00:06:08.000A lot of people know me for different things.
00:06:11.000People know me for breaking the British women's deadlift record several years ago, featured on a lot of great and wonderful podcasts, including this one right here.
00:06:21.000And yeah, all around someone who tries to uplift people positively, who does my best to seek the truth and speak the truth and keep it real and authentic.
00:06:32.000And a lot of people love me for that and some don't.
00:08:16.000Tim Pool goes to war with Twitter over groomer controversy.
00:08:20.000Journalist Tim Pool went to war with Twitter on Monday after the social media platform locked him out of his account for criticizing groomers.
00:10:58.000I get the vibe that when you're in a culture war or any conflict, really, if you establish vulnerability in your foe, you don't want to have fun with it because then that gives them a time to build up a defense mechanism towards it.
00:11:10.000So like this groomer narrative, it's very effective because people have been grooming children sexually.
00:11:15.000We see it on, you know, on videos and crazy stuff.
00:11:17.000But if people just start LOL, groomer, groomer, groomer, you start to see other people establish an immune response.
00:11:23.000And that's what the Twitter admins have done by saying you can't even call people groomers.
00:11:28.000Parents groom children to be great people.
00:11:30.000Some people like grooming is just getting someone ready to become something.
00:11:34.000And I think it's insane that people have forced it to become this negative connotation when we should really be focusing on the behavior and not what it's called.
00:11:43.000They decided that an actual word to describe a behavior is a slur.
00:11:48.000Imagine if someone, like, skateboarded.
00:11:52.000And then you're like, that's a skateboarder right there.
00:11:54.000And then the skateboarder's like, hey man, don't call me that.
00:11:57.000And then Twitter was like, we're gonna ban you if you call them skateboarders.
00:11:59.000It's like, they're literally doing it.
00:12:01.000Have you gotten a temporary suspension before?
00:12:03.000Nope, this is the first in the history of my Twitter career to ever... It's almost over.
00:12:08.000Your Twitter career is almost over, dude.
00:15:59.000And some people just like Twitter, some people like Instagram.
00:16:02.000And I think if you like something, then you just go that much harder on it.
00:16:05.000Let's talk about the problem with Twitter and where it's going with this story.
00:16:09.000This is part of, whether it's intentional or not, it was explained to me by a former Trump administration official that what the big tech companies, Democrats, the Uniparty, neocon types are trying to do is Give anti-establishment people just enough voice so there's no ruckus, but reduce their voice just enough so it's politically neutered.
00:16:31.000Yeah, it doesn't have an impact in the long term.
00:16:34.000So if you've got a fierce rivalry between two factions and suspending one would result in an explosion of rage, you do is you suspend 1%.
00:16:45.000The left gets a major advantage against the right, and the right slowly loses out.
00:16:49.000So when you do something like this, telling someone like me, I can't say a groomer, to someone literally showing kids, you know, adult materials...
00:17:14.000And one of the biggest issues that we have right now in Western society, and it's across the USA, it's in the UK, it's in Canada, it's everywhere, is just this climate of fear.
00:17:25.000Like, the level of self-censorship that is now happening, I mean, we can sit here and we can, you know, talk openly and we're all open to sharing our opinions, but the sheer number of people, hundreds of millions of people who are just scared to say what they think, whether they... Go ahead.
00:17:45.000No, just the sheer number of people who are just absolutely terrified to say, What they think on so many various issues from politics to social stuff to culture stuff to the entire pandemic situation.
00:18:22.000We're gonna have one of those up tonight at 11.
00:18:24.000And often, we do say things that are like... We have conversations that Twitter doesn't... I'm sorry, that YouTube doesn't allow.
00:18:31.000So we talked with Marjorie Taylor Greene about the 2020 election and what the Republicans plan to do, or I should say when they win in November, presumably.
00:19:33.000I don't really have any of that stuff to worry about.
00:19:36.000What you need to understand is that We say the things we believe in, and the people who said the things they believe in got banned, right?
00:19:45.000So when people refer to me as like a milquetoast fence-sitter, which is like the long-running joke, yes, understand that when they start banning me, that's where the line has moved to.
00:20:17.000So, the way I described it before is that you've got this big island and it's cliffs all around that are slowly being knocked down and eroded.
00:20:26.000And I've always been somewhat in the middle.
00:20:29.000But then you see people on the right, the cliffs erode and they fall down as censorship starts wiping them out.
00:20:33.000Those people held the line on their opinions.
00:20:38.000I didn't have to worry about it because I'm like, I'm not going to say the things those guys are saying.
00:21:30.000This shouldn't be some left, right issue, regardless of where you sit on the political spectrum during any remotely sane time or in any remotely sane country.
00:21:42.000Yeah, and the fact that this is even considered political or is becoming this guy I'm like dude, what is
00:21:49.000What what is going on? This is it's it's very worrying It's cuz I don't think it's political so much as it is just
00:21:57.000them letting go of the pretense that they're a platform for free expression like these platforms like Twitter and
00:22:03.000YouTube used to really value appearing like they allow free expression, but now
00:22:11.000They've kind of given up on that Yeah for sure
00:22:15.000I'm talking outside of Facebook and Twitter though.
00:22:17.000I'm talking as a general society in a culture, right?
00:22:21.000so with these issues it's often framed as if this is you know, you've got these these right-wingers of these conservatives who have a problem with stuff like this and As long as you got your eyes on him.
00:22:55.000And I think that there's this reactionary thing that does happen, though, where if there are, you know, if people on the left side of the aisle are doing something, then there's a reaction from certain people on the right to oppose it, regardless of what it is.
00:23:09.000And the opposite, I think now that People on— Conservatives are like, wait, hang on, why are you teaching my child about this nonsense?
00:23:17.000Why have you got grown men in women's outfits reading to children and exposing themselves or whatever?
00:23:22.000And there are— there's a faction of people on the left side of the aisle who are like, oh, well, conservatives have an issue with this, so I now need to support it.
00:23:28.000I've got this— Let me— I just want to pull up this story, sorry.
00:24:20.000People that groom children, like Hitler was a groomer.
00:24:23.000He groomed children to be in the Hitler Youth.
00:24:24.000You know, um, it doesn't have anything to do with sexuality on its face.
00:24:28.000It's only when you can have people that are sexually grooming, but you can have people that are grooming politically, grooming ideologically, and that it's getting the Twitter people, Twitter conflating.
00:24:41.000I don't know if that's a guilty conscience or if that's bigotry on their part, because they're the ones conflating, conflating LGBTQ struggle with that acronym, um, with grooming.
00:25:14.000I vaguely remember, and I'm pretty sure it was a picture of, like, a drag queen showing sexual stuff to children.
00:25:21.000I mean, people will find any way to defend that.
00:25:25.000And I think if we're disagreeing on something that fundamental, like, you can't show this type of thing to children, we've got, like, spiritual problems to address.
00:25:33.000A bunch of left-wing publications are overtly defending it.
00:25:37.000So let me explain, just for those that haven't heard it before, what grooming is.
00:25:42.000And I'll preface it by saying, for those that are fans who watch all of the episodes, not every person watches every segment and every podcast we do, and so I often get the same questions over and over again.
00:25:51.000For example, a lot of people have said in the past, like, day or so, like, I'd sign up for your website if you didn't have PayPal.
00:25:56.000And I'm like, bro, we haven't had PayPal for, like, two weeks now.
00:26:01.000Grooming is when you take the most base form of, and we're talking about the sexual grooming of children, you take the most innocuous element of what you want to introduce to the kids so that no one can say it's overt.
00:26:15.000So for instance, I knew a guy who got groomed into being a male prostitute.
00:26:20.000And how they did it was, they asked him to do a modeling shoot for $200.
00:27:30.000Hooters, probably not appropriate for kids either.
00:27:33.000Drag actually involves them taking their clothes off for money.
00:27:36.000So when you're talking about a sexualized performer, just reading a book to a kid, the reason that's grooming is the goal is to normalize the individual in drag to a child.
00:27:47.000Then when people say, hey, wait a minute, hold on, drag is sexualized, they say, all we're doing is reading books, like exactly what they're doing now.
00:27:55.000The difference is, this is mass scale grooming.
00:28:00.000This is big tech and social media grooming and defending it, and I'll tell you what's really fascinating.
00:28:05.000There was a period on YouTube, there was a big scandal.
00:28:29.000So Elsagate was when all of these channels started making videos of Elsa, the Joker, and Spider-Man running around, and the Incredible Hulk.
00:28:37.000And there was like no dialogue, and it was because little kids, their parents would turn the video on, and then it would just generate a ton of ad revenue for the person.
00:28:46.000So all of a sudden people started making these videos because it made money, and it was getting increasingly creepy.
00:28:51.000Eventually it ended with Elsagate got to the point where Elsa was pregnant, and the Joker was injecting her with things.
00:28:59.000This turned into videos where people literally were giving children shots because it was generating clicks for whatever reason the algorithm was promoting it.
00:29:07.000And then, when people realized they could use an AI to auto-generate these videos, you ended up with videos of toddlers drinking urine.
00:30:10.000Now, Twitter will actively ban you if you call out the pedophiles going after children.
00:30:14.000Not only that, there's like a huge amount of not safe for work content on Twitter.
00:30:20.000I understand that that's part of their TOS that they allow that, but they also have a lot of accounts that openly say in their bio that they are underage or their age.
00:30:32.000As low as like 12, 13, 14 year olds having these not safe for work accounts on Twitter.
00:30:43.000There's another big issue that's happening too with the VR chat stuff, where 13 year olds will be in these VR chat rooms with grown adults and the adults, it's unsupervised.
00:30:54.000I mean, this is getting out of control, man.
00:30:58.000I mean, This leads to a wider conversation just about some of the, some of the, some of the challenges with, with technology just in general.
00:31:07.000I think, I think people often forget just how new this all is that the smartphone and social media combo we've only had for 15 years.
00:31:17.000We've had the internet for longer than that, but with all the greatness and wonderful opportunities it brings for decent people and entrepreneurs and creatives and so on.
00:31:27.000It also opens up this Pandora's box of just completely new, like what you described with that Elsagate thing.
00:31:35.000I mean, that just, yeah, it's so bizarre and weird.
00:31:39.000It's not something you think of when you're starting YouTube, you're not there thinking like, Oh, okay.
00:31:44.000This is something we need to be careful of.
00:31:45.000It wasn't just videos of people either.
00:31:47.000There were, like, animated cartoons that were made by A.I.s that just generated whatever got the most clicks and then that ended up, of course, being, like, the most effed up.
00:32:25.000So parents would give their toddlers or babies a tablet and then turn on nursery rhymes.
00:32:31.000And then the algorithm would just bring those kids down a rabbit hole.
00:32:34.000Yo, those kids are going to grow up and be twisted.
00:32:37.000So the parents just like come into the room and they just see their child watching some wild stuff.
00:32:42.000All the comments were gibberish because the babies were just hitting the thing randomly?
00:32:46.000A lot of people thought that some of those gibberish comments were speaking in some kind of code that was like coordinating human trafficking.
00:32:57.000Honestly, these things, like, that's the one line for me where, I mean, I think any adult should be like this, but when it comes to people just messing with kids in general, that's just where, like... Dude, it's been said numerous times.
00:33:46.000What is what children are send it out a lessons?
00:33:49.000Yeah, right And so now you've got people go on Twitter and they post
00:33:52.000these pictures of themselves these fictionalized versions it was a really funny meme a while ago from a
00:33:58.000particular feminist podcast and they made this graphic of themselves and they were all like
00:34:04.000dainty young looking women and then Someone made a realistic version of what they actually
00:34:09.000looked like like double chin and obese and things like that people use the internet to project what they wish they were
00:34:16.000the crazy thing is I And you probably know this better than anybody, Zuby.
00:34:21.000People could just be what they want to be through hard work, right?
00:34:24.000If you want to be thin and small, you just do it.
00:34:26.000Not everybody can be a giraffe, though, and some people want to be a giraffe, and so I don't have to tell you, man.
00:34:31.000Just pray the Matrix and Neuralink can take you into that reality where you can be a giraffe, but for the time being... Yeah.
00:34:36.000Do you think that maybe some people have this kind of Michael Jackson syndrome where, like, in their childhood, Perhaps they didn't get to play outside and have toys and do all the things that they kind of wanted to and now as an adult they're trying to play this now.
00:34:57.000Adderall is messing kids' childhoods up.
00:34:59.000They're not being able to enjoy them properly.
00:35:01.000I think that's definitely screwing kids up and all the drugs, but I think what's happening is the internet and media has created these parallel realities that children live in.
00:35:11.000So I often think about, you know, how is it that somebody wants to dress up like a cartoon rabbit?
00:35:25.000I'm just wondering where it comes from.
00:35:27.000How is it that someone identifies as a cartoon animal?
00:35:30.000So the first thing that happened was when I first heard about furries, someone told me it's people who just dress up like animals.
00:35:36.000And I was like, oh, I guess people want to be animals.
00:35:38.000And then I actually saw what they were doing and I'm like, no, those are Looney Tunes.
00:35:42.000They're dressing up like Bugs Bunny with big eyes and cartoon faces.
00:35:46.000So what I think happened was people grew up watching anthropomorphized animals.
00:35:51.000And a child's brain is trying to connect itself to reality.
00:35:55.000So, in early human development, human tribes, the baby watches the adults do adult stuff, and then says, this is what I should be doing, and then wires itself to identify alongside what their adults are.
00:36:07.000The man is chopping wood, the woman is, you know, raising the kids and gathering, the men come back with the bears and the boars and the meat.
00:36:15.000Then you do the modern era, where kids are now put in front of the TV where they watch nothing but Looney Tunes.
00:37:18.000I mean, Looney Tunes and all the Disney stuff.
00:37:20.000So perhaps the issue is one, some people are more susceptible and two, maybe some of these people were placed in front of these shows for extended periods of time and their parents were less attentive.
00:37:49.000I mean, if you wanted to, if you wanted to access porn as a horny little 12 year old or 13 year old, You could do it, but the barrier was a lot higher.
00:37:58.000You'd have to get an older person to go in and buy a magazine off the top shelf or someone's got a little DVD or something like that.
00:38:06.000Not just you tap a site on a phone or a tablet or a computer and just boom, no verification, nothing.
00:41:09.000When they go after kids and divert them, or should I say, subvert their development, and then cause identity crises, give them drugs, destroying the next generation, is going to cripple the United States.
00:41:20.000And I have to wonder, Not saying it's intentional, but it is fortuitous for those who fear Thucydides' trap, because the U.S.
00:41:32.000China may actually take over the world, the global economy, without the U.S.
00:41:36.000ever having an opportunity to engage in war.
00:41:39.000So if you think about the Council on Foreign Relations, I think it was, they have on their website the liberal world order and why it was created.
00:41:46.000Anybody who's arguing for the creation of a new world order in the wake of the liberal world order, and I don't mean the new world order conspiracy, I mean the literal term, a world order and a new version of it, it would be beneficial to avoid a third world war with China.
00:42:42.000I think the US is kind of sadly leading the charge in this and exporting a lot of bad ideas.
00:42:48.000There's really a lot of people have noticed that in the past, I want to say seven to eight years in particular, a lot of this is the inversion has really, really accelerated.
00:43:00.000And so much of the stuff that we talk about and all of the, so many of these issues are things that it would literally as recently as a decade ago, it would have seemed completely absurd for them to even be debates or conversations.
00:43:15.000And there's something real, really, really weird going on.
00:43:18.000I do want to point out just a quick shout out to Joe Spinella on the super chat who mentioned, surely you haven't seen the tanks protecting Chinese banks because Chinese economy is like imploding.
00:43:37.000The whole system is just imploding for whatever reason.
00:43:40.000You start with the Trans-Pacific Partnership in 2010.
00:43:42.000That was the first warning sign for me Barack Obama signed on and it gave.
00:43:45.000There's this thing called the Investor State Dispute Settlement Clause in the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal that would have given Malaysian oil corporations the power to sue the United States government and the taxpayers would have to pay the bill if they thought that Americans were discriminating against their oil companies and didn't want to buy their oil.
00:44:04.000then they could sue us. And it was giving corporations insane power over American citizens.
00:44:09.000And Obama was on it. He like he didn't know or he didn't care.
00:44:13.000Trump shut it down like the third day was an office or the second day was an office.
00:44:16.000But that they were trying to do that is very overtly transferring power from
00:44:22.000the citizen American democracy, republicanism to corporatism.
00:44:25.000Yeah, dude, look at the last two and a half years. Like seriously.
00:44:29.000I mean, how of all these countries in a very coordinated fashion?
00:44:36.000I mean, it's one thing if one country goes nuts, but it's literally been UK, Canada, every country in Western Europe pretty much, except Sweden, USA, New Zealand.
00:46:21.000I mean, the thing is, and it's impossible to not be a quote-unquote conspiracy theorist these days after the past several years if you are just interested in thinking, but they've created this, right?
00:46:36.000If people Who are in power or people in corporate media and so on, so-called public health officials and the experts which we keep hearing about, if they refuse to be honest and they just continue to lie and to gaslight and to shift goalposts for years and years and years on end, like every single day, they're just lying to people, then naturally you are going to have people trying to work out, wait, what is going on?
00:47:32.000Yeah, I mean, look, I don't think that this is the first or even close to the worst thing that humanity has faced on any level.
00:47:41.000I think it's important to always maintain a sense of gratitude and perspective, both historically and geographically.
00:47:48.000And I think there's a lot of real stuff to be very, very concerned about.
00:47:51.000But in terms of my optimism, I mean, you look at history and, man, there's countless examples of very, very dark times where I'm sure people in certain countries or across just thought, you know what?
00:48:21.000No, we're living through the history of the future, right?
00:48:24.000I'm sure if you go back to 1910s and you talk to people in Europe or in America or whatever, I'm pretty sure they thought that they were very advanced and they were past all the war and the chaos and the famine and the genocides.
00:49:15.000If there's an artificial flood or a natural flood, whatever you want to call it, some emergency, be it an economic crisis, an environmental crisis, or a cultural crisis, in the end, the strong survive.
00:49:25.000Well, it's the adaptable that survive.
00:49:29.000It's also the people who show up for it.
00:49:31.000The future will go to those who show up for it.
00:49:33.000So if I'm sitting here saying to everybody who's watching this show, and you are as well, like, hey, it feels like there's a collapse happening and it may be on purpose.
00:49:42.000The best case, the best evidence, in my opinion, is that they're claiming a global famine is coming while telling farmers to stop farming.
00:49:47.000That's indicative of they're intentionally trying to starve people.
00:49:51.000So my point is, if you hear that, You had two years advance notice watching my show, if you haven't for that long, to, I don't know, move out of the cities, get a small piece of land where you can grow enough food for your family, or to buy emergency food and start preparing for what may be coming.
00:51:08.000And the people who are imposing this so-called controlled demolition are certainly going to survive the Famine, civil unrest, whatever happens, and then the so-called, like, strong of, you know, maybe people watching this show who do what the things that you just listed are also going to survive it, then what happens?
00:51:37.000Bill Gates wrote an article about it saying that There is way too many poor people being born in Africa, and that's what we gotta stop.
00:51:43.000There's a lot of antinatalism, and it's not new.
00:51:47.000Antinatalism has been running for decades.
00:51:49.000To your point about the strong surviving, when there's no food, it's the people in cities who suffer.
00:51:58.000The people who live out in the countryside, like, yo, you drive up the mountain, everyone has chickens.
00:52:03.000Like, to them it's- and people who are listening to this who live in the country know exactly what this is better than I do because they've been doing it their whole lives.
00:52:09.000It's like, you wake up in the morning and get eggs from the chicken.
00:52:32.000But chickens smell, and they pollute the environment, so not everyone can have them, unfortunately.
00:52:37.000No, no, chickens, when they poop, we don't do it properly, because we are still living in this luxury.
00:52:44.000What you do is, Thomas Massey, man, that guy's a genius.
00:52:48.000He has something called the Clux Capacitor.
00:52:50.000It's a solar capacitor that charges up and then releases a charge pulling a chicken coop about an inch.
00:52:55.000So all day, the chicken's coop moves and the chickens poop in the grass.
00:52:59.000And he said, the trail of grass behind the chicken coop is lush and fertile because the chickens are actively eating the bugs in the grass and then fertilizing the soil.
00:53:13.000We've got these big mounds because we did construction, and it's crazy how big and tall the wild shrubbery and grass have grown on it because it was just a huge pile of chicken crap.
00:53:38.000I think all you guys actually kind of been touching on this, that if they want a slower population growth or less people, one of the two, and they want less carbon in the atmosphere, that they want, we're running out of food, but they want the farmers to stop farming.
00:53:51.000It feels like they want to starve a segment of the population to propel, and these people that want it must be insulated from that in some way.
00:53:59.000I think it's because they know that not the entire globe can enjoy the first world luxuries that a lot of us enjoy and now their version of preparing for that prospect as the population grows is to, by any means necessary, deplete the population and then hoard the resources for themselves.
00:54:24.000And no one, I don't think anyone knew Stalin was trying to kill his population until after it happened, or Mao until after it happened.
00:54:30.000Like, you don't know when it's coming, otherwise you'd stop it.
00:54:41.000People are really, again, um, I hate to keep referring back to the past two and a half years we've just lived through, but I can't think of a more blatant and in your face example of people not stopping things when there's a clear and simple opportunity.
00:54:54.000Because tribalism, I think people have a natural tendency towards resistance.
00:54:57.000We have sports because they want to fight against something.
00:55:13.000When I was younger, I used to complain that people cared about sports more than politics.
00:55:18.000And I didn't understand why we have these stories about Bush and the invasion of Iraq, and then you get Obama, and I'm like, I wish people cared more about this than, say, the Packers or whatever.
00:55:28.000And now I'm understanding exactly why it was good that we had sports.
00:55:32.000People don't care or want to understand.
00:55:37.000And so while they're saying, I choose, because no one forces you to do this, they say, I'd rather watch the baseball game and argue with my friends about who's better at baseball.
00:55:49.000And then I say, well, I care a whole lot about the conflict, so I'm going to pay attention to that.
00:55:54.000It actually works out really well that the people who aren't smart enough or don't want to engage in worldly affairs choose not to, so they're not voting for evil people or being susceptible to demagogues.
00:56:03.000But once politics became pop culture, now you have people being sucked into the demagoguery of the Democrats or, you know, they argue Donald Trump.
00:56:14.000But it's the Democrats that are funding Trump-supported candidates while claiming they're the apocalypse.
00:56:18.000So this is what the Democrats have done.
00:57:04.000So the Biden administration, it was Yellen, said, well, they're all coming out and saying this, a recession is normally two consecutive periods with negative growth.
00:57:11.000Talking However, that's not really what a recession is.
00:57:15.000So we're not really in a recession, even if that is the case.
00:57:18.000So Thursday, we're going to find out if it's an official recession, which we all know it is.
00:57:23.000And that's why they preempted this by saying, uh, despite the official definition of a recession, that's not a recession.
00:58:17.000I will tell you that there may come a time where things get so bad in cities, and I say may come a time, I don't know, where you're like, it is preferable to just start walking.
00:58:26.000To leave everything behind, strap on my shoes and walk out of that city.
00:58:29.000If say like the water system fails or something like that.
00:58:32.000I'm saying for the time being, if you can't afford to leave the city, it basically means that the way you live in the city is a better standard for you than just being homeless and wandering through the woods.
00:59:19.000It's always funny because you guys know I grew up in the Middle East, I grew up in Saudi Arabia, and it's very funny how people have this idea of that being some super dangerous place.
00:59:27.000I'm like, bro, it's safer than literally everywhere in the USA.
00:59:29.000Let me tell you the problem with these big cities.
00:59:33.000Let's say you have a chicken, and that chicken takes a dump right in the middle of your yard.
01:00:07.000What do we do to get people to stop being in cities?
01:00:10.000I mean, for one, the cities are struggling to maintain themselves.
01:00:13.000But also, when all of these humans, when you get like 10 million humans in one area all taking a dump at the same time, that goes into one place.
01:00:20.000The rain and the water can't wash it away.
01:00:22.000You spread those people out over a few hundred square miles, and now the rain can deal with that, and the earth can, you know, rebalance everything.
01:00:29.000What I don't get is, I'm looking at the World Economic Forum website, weforum.org, I think that's it, but the world's megacities, they want to build megacities by 2030.
01:00:38.000I don't understand this logic, because if they're centralized, dangerous, starvation vulnerabilities, why would they try and make more of it?
01:01:55.000Instead he says, I'm not going to run for re-election, but I am going to inflame tensions to the most extreme degree possible, starting fires before I go.
01:02:10.000Fortunately, you know, they don't have like giant followings or a lot of influence and power, but they're purely, they're purely destructive, right?
01:02:17.000It's purely destructive and malicious energy.
01:02:18.000There's nothing positive that they're doing.
01:02:21.000They're literally just, they're trying to hurt people, trying to bully people, trying to attack people.
01:02:24.000And they're doing it day in, day out, right?
01:02:26.000Now you take someone with that type of psychology and you actually put them in a position of power and influence.
01:02:53.000Perhaps it's an emergent phenomenon that when meritocratic individuals create a safe and secure society, it protects individuals who normally would not survive.
01:03:02.000Those people who can't survive, who use words like adulting because they can't live on their own without someone like... Better adulting.
01:03:14.000You end up with a large portion of anti-meritocratic individuals who don't make systems work, they vote against the interests of those who do, and the system flips over.
01:03:22.000The boat collapses, the strong of course climb up, learn to swim and survive, and all of those weak people get... gulag'd or whatever.
01:03:32.000It's the ones that get capsized and figure out how to get to shore to rebuild society again that are the ones that survive it.
01:03:38.000And the strongest may just go down because they don't think quick enough.
01:03:41.000They're so used to their own system that they've created and they're very good at it that when the system capsizes, they don't understand Right, but that's basically what it means.
01:03:50.000It doesn't mean a guy who can lift 50 pounds.
01:03:52.000It literally means those who are capable, intelligent, and understand are likely to perceive threats, plan ahead effectively, and survive.
01:04:49.000I mean, I disagree with that framing of it.
01:04:51.000No one, at least I hope, no one thinks that like, I don't know, if they're on the street and they get mugged, that Jesus is going to come save them from getting mugged.
01:05:01.000They're talking about their spiritual lives, not their physical I know it's comforting to think that there's a being that's protecting you, but it's not.
01:05:11.000You've got to protect yourself in this harsh reality.
01:05:14.000I mean, they're talking about spiritual protection, not, like, famine won't happen because Jesus will save us from famine.
01:05:21.000If I pray enough, it's not going to not happen.
01:05:56.000If you are not doing what you have to do to be prepared for what might be happening, well then, what's going to happen?
01:06:03.000I think, you know, options are always good.
01:06:08.000And I think that something that people should really know by now is to just have options, right?
01:06:16.000Have options in terms of places you can live, ways you can earn money, things you can do.
01:06:22.000Don't be so... I don't know, like maybe because of how I've grown up and the fact that I travel so much, I've got I know I have a different view than most people, but I think that you were talking about the big cities, and I think that something that really happens, of course, is just inertia, right?
01:06:37.000Like it's hard to, if you're used to a place, especially if you've grown up somewhere and you live there and your friends and families are there and it's what you know.
01:06:54.000I'm not saying that it's just super duper easy for everybody, but I think that seeing where just the level of uncertainty in so much of this stuff It is wise to just bear that in mind and take take steps don't just sit there and say oh you know the the end is coming the end it's like okay take take some steps if you haven't already been doing it over the past few years take some steps so that if stuff does hit the fan or you are getting very uncomfortable or
01:08:59.000So you're literally in opposition to the other land that is close to you.
01:09:03.000So when you have a million people under the borders and there's nothing being done about it, when you have the government facilitating the trafficking of children, which the Biden administration has been doing in the dead of night secretly, There's no borders.
01:11:03.000So how are we supposed to have a one world government when it's like, we're going to get a big shipment of pork in for our bacon, and then a bunch of other countries are like, no, no, no.
01:12:33.000So technological advancement, the rapid communications development, is going to result in a global shared culture, just not anytime soon.
01:12:43.000By soon I mean like five to ten years, but you give it a couple generations, especially with, if we have air travel, then I think it's possible to have one world government through cultural expansion, but they're also shutting down air travel.
01:13:00.000But they're also creating metaverse and virtual reality.
01:13:03.000So already, I used to play video games with people in Oceania and China and Japan, like World of Warcraft, for instance.
01:13:40.000Like I, you'll get some people, you'll get, there's 8 billion plus people in this world and most people live in lives, nothing like what we've got.
01:13:46.000And what, what did Mark Zuckerberg, Google and Starlink, what have they been, and Elon Musk, what have they been trying to do over the past 10 years?
01:13:53.000They're trying to connect people in various ways.
01:13:55.000They had Project Loon, where they were like, can we get internet to, you know, like the middle of Africa with giant balloons floating in the stratosphere, broadcasting.
01:14:10.000Once you get everybody on the internet, and there's such luxury that comes with being online, such advantage, that's what precipitates the expansion.
01:14:18.000I think you'll get everyone on the internet.
01:14:20.000I don't think you're going to get everyone running around in headsets or sitting there in headsets.
01:14:24.000Well, that's like saying, I can't imagine everyone's going to put a vinyl record player in their home or like it's Joe Biden saying.
01:14:48.000I think people, yeah, I think it's a relatively neutral thing.
01:14:52.000I think technology is not good or bad.
01:14:53.000I do think it leans toward the bad because we know corrupt people will exploit all of this for personal gain.
01:14:59.000And we could potentially end up in an equilibrium type future where everyone has their emotions and thoughts suppressed and the global leaders live freely and enjoy the perks of being human.
01:15:22.000Maybe Mark Zuckerberg's legless metaverse is not going to be the version of WIRED that everyone gets into, but already AOC, for instance, is not representing New York's 14.
01:15:36.000She gets money because one person in every city may have a fringe worldview, but together online they make up a massive, powerful economic bloc.
01:15:47.000They support someone like AOC and then she wins.
01:15:49.000Her ideas are unpopular and wouldn't have won, but because all of the weird, fringe, far-left people were able to raise money online, So that created something that exists outside of a nation.
01:16:00.000I saw this back going to 2010, and we've seen it further.
01:16:06.000Look at warfare over the past 10 years, when you have individual actors joining nation states in conflict, when hackers in the United States were aiding in the revolutions in North Africa and the Middle East.
01:16:30.000We need one, I don't know if we need it, but one language.
01:16:32.000You'd mentioned earlier that everybody speaks one language.
01:16:34.000I thought English, it would be English just because of capitalism and the way corporatism is putting McDonald's all over the place and people watch Hollywood movies.
01:16:43.000I thought for sure the whole world will be speaking English.
01:16:46.000It'll be considered like common in D&D.
01:16:48.000But I don't know if that's the case now.
01:16:51.000We need to get internet to everybody and fresh water to everybody.
01:16:54.000I kind of do because I think the other option is self-destruction.
01:16:57.000I kind of do because I think the other option is self-destruction.
01:17:05.000If we don't connect, we're going to be we'll fight unless we're together.
01:17:35.000I mean, I think that's always existed.
01:17:38.000But past a certain level, people are too different, and people have such different interests, and you travel around the world, go to different countries.
01:17:46.000They're not all... People need conflict.
01:17:55.000It's hard enough to reunite the USA, let alone the world.
01:17:58.000One proposed hypothesis, I'm not an evolutionary biologist, psychologist, or anthropologist, But why is it that Europe advanced more than the Americas?
01:18:09.000Why did the Native American populations... Coffee.
01:18:11.000Man, did they go on nitro when they... Proximity.
01:18:14.000...inserted coffee into their... Proximity.
01:18:16.000The European tribes were... Roman roads.
01:18:19.000They were boxed in in a peninsula with very little room to flee to.
01:18:24.000So when resources would become strained, they'd kill each other to survive, causing a tit-for-tat expansion of technologies in order to survive.
01:18:32.000In the Americas, it was so vast The tribes would just leave.
01:18:37.000So if you look at animals, for instance, badgers, why are they so vicious?
01:19:08.000So, in certain parts, it's like, fight or don't.
01:19:12.000In the Americas, it's like, yo, I got everywhere else to be, so I'm not gonna fight you if I don't have to.
01:19:18.000When two different groups of people are fighting next to each other for a long enough period of time, they're constantly one-upping each other.
01:19:23.000It's an artificial evolutionary conflict happening technologically.
01:19:49.000One thing I've been thinking about a lot recently, especially when it comes to children now, or the next generation and so on, is You know, I think everyone understands and realizes that as human beings, as individuals, and even as a wider society, you need conflict and struggle and hardship in order to develop a resilience, right?
01:20:14.000Develop grit, resilience, a stronger personality, ability to withstand stuff.
01:20:20.000and I think so many of the problems that we have right now and we're dealing with in the West as Tim's alluded to already is just Just people are weak.
01:20:29.000Oh my gosh, you misgendered me like like the whole woke.
01:20:31.000It's all based in weakness It's based in victimology, you know nerf the world instead of making yourself stronger That's really been the attitude for quite a while now and I often wonder how is that if there is a way maybe the answer is no, but is there a way to rather without having Taking people through this certain grind of hardship.
01:20:52.000Is there a way to consistently say, raise strong minded and even physically strong children without, you know, who aren't just going to grow up to be these, these lame snowflakes or whatever you want to call them without having to go through necessarily all the same nonsense that their parents or ancestors did?
01:21:13.000There's a viral post, it's hilarious, where someone, some Antifa person is like, you better believe the right is arming up and training and you better be as equally trained and armed as they are for the coming conflict.
01:21:24.000And what do you think the left's response was to that?
01:22:10.000Jordan Peterson, man, he's, he's, he's, well, the, the, the, the depression, he's killing it.
01:22:17.000You know, he's saving young people in general if they just listen to him.
01:22:20.000Yo, people are depressed because they have no purpose, they have no drive, no internal conflict, no responsibility.
01:22:27.000They're just sitting around staring at the TV like, what for?
01:22:29.000Yeah, you have to... I mean, one thing I know for myself, right, because I'm not sitting here pretending, oh, I came from some rough background or whatever, like I'm blessed, like I'm super privileged in many regards.
01:22:40.000But I've had, I've created my own hardship in many ways, right?
01:22:45.000Like there are ways that, you know, in terms of your, whether it's your career or, I mean, what even is going to the gym?
01:22:53.000Going to the gym is going and artificially creating resistance, whether to build your lung capacity or improve your cardiovascular system or increase your muscles.
01:23:06.000Like, our ancestors would be like, what on earth are, what's everyone in this room doing?
01:23:11.000Why don't you just do your farm work or do your work?
01:24:25.000I also, by the way, I think this is part of why so many people snapped in 2020 because all the usual outlets for energy and tension and even just the social... It was just allowed to pile up.
01:26:06.000I'm not, I'm not super familiar with this issue.
01:26:08.000So I don't, I don't really know what's been happening.
01:26:10.000I'm concerned that there's a black market evolving that people don't know about.
01:26:13.000And I'm really concerned that people, great, amazing humans that got screwed over by the last two years worth of mandates and whatever running out of money are going to turn to nefarious things to get by like human trafficking and things like that.
01:26:28.000I, man, I I'd, I'd be cautious of predicting something that dark.
01:26:34.000Yeah, I just want to get it on the table now.
01:26:35.000So in 10 years, you guys remember I said at first, to put nothing past anyone in desperate times.
01:26:41.000I made the joke to Seamus that the rapture happened.
01:26:45.000And then he was like, well, certainly I couldn't have, you know, cause he's devout Catholic.
01:26:58.000A lot of people out there playing pool on a weekend.
01:27:01.000But when you hear about all these labor shortages, and when I go to like a Chipotle and they're like, we're understaffed, please bear with us.
01:27:08.000I'm like, how is it possible that people just aren't working?
01:27:18.000But hasn't this always been a question?
01:27:19.000I mean, there are lots of people, there's millions and millions and millions of people who don't work and haven't been working for a long time.
01:28:37.000Yeah, so there aren't enough people being incentivized to become pilots to compensate for the older ones who are leaving.
01:28:44.000What bothers me the US government printing all that money in the last two years and then just started handing it out to people you're making you're sending people towards bankruptcy and then they're gonna stop paying their taxes because they can't afford to survive you fools and then if they're not then you're gonna have a revolution on your hands.
01:29:00.000The USA is such a fascinating country because one thing that Americans always, always forget is how young this country is.
01:29:09.000I always say that the USA is a teenager as far as countries go.
01:29:13.000And also it's a giant teenager with 50 states.
01:29:17.000An angry teenager with a desert eagle.
01:29:21.000Like there's so many things that are unique about the USA that make it genuinely impossible to properly compare to Any other country in the world.
01:29:32.000It's got so many things that are absolutely unique.
01:29:34.000I mean, even if someone said, oh, let's, well, let's compare it to all of Europe.
01:29:39.000It's like, maybe that's a better comparison than to one country in Europe, but it's also, it's, it's so, so different in so many ways.
01:29:47.000Abusive father, you know, King George just beat the hell out of him.
01:29:51.000I got this angry rage from our childhood.
01:29:59.000Sibling is still up there acting all wacky and elitist.
01:30:03.000I love it that the left has this meme where they're like, the United States, Canada must feel like they've got like a dysfunctional sibling who's walking around with guns.
01:30:12.000And I'm like, Who's the size of a toddler?
01:30:32.000Honestly, every time I look at a map or a globe, I'm always like, like I look at this, the geographical size of the UK or Great Britain even, which is even smaller.
01:31:55.000It's so hard to keep track of even what's... I totally understand why some people just check out of politics completely and are like... Oh my gosh, I tried to read a bill, the language is intentionally obfuscatory, it's so...
01:32:11.000Boring to read you gotta like get into that state of weird.
01:32:14.000Yeah, and thus we have decreed that Act 1 colon section CB 3 C 2 4 1 3 What in the hell are you doing?
01:32:26.000Instead of writing a bill that says, here's what the bill does, it will say, the language of this bill is changed to read in section 2A3, quote, and will include, end quote, to be in place of section 491, quote, AR15, quote, and you're like, notwithstanding, I gotta pull up these other bills and then replace words to understand what your bill does.
01:32:49.000And they don't give you the other bill with the bill.
01:33:18.000They were like, you guys remember that meme where Trump tweeted something and this journalist goes, I have been investigating this story for a year.
01:33:26.000For a year, I've dedicated my career to finding out what was going on this meeting.
01:33:37.000So Biden, if he came out and he was like, look, listen here, champ, we're gonna open the borders, destroy this country, send your kids overseas to die, that way China wins.
01:34:03.000So the plot is, um, so I think it's important to say, so it's a collaboration with Brave Books and they're a company based in Texas that put out a new children's book every month.
01:34:13.000They work with a range of different authors and influencers on this.
01:34:16.000So I wanted to do one that was, a lot of their books are more conservative leaning, more politically charged, but for a young audience.
01:34:26.000But I wanted to do one that's totally apolitical.
01:35:03.000And there is an incident where some pirates come and they raid them and they're not in good enough shape, essentially, to chase them off and to fight them away.
01:35:56.000We also have The Green Room with Carrie Lake, which is up, so if you're a big fan of her, and we definitely are, you can watch that, as well as Tales from the Inverted World.
01:36:02.000I believe it's episode 4 is officially up.
01:36:05.000And, uh, we're doing a whole lot of stuff.
01:36:06.000Big announcements to come soon, but let's read some super chats.
01:36:09.000Caleb W says, sitting in a hospital, awaiting the birth of my second son.
01:36:13.000What a great way to celebrate MAGA month with Zuby.
01:36:19.000Mr. Slytrip says, do you think every governor, dissent has included, whom shut down a church for a day, violated the first paragraph of the first amendment by making a pseudo law against establishments of religion and or our right to peaceably assemble?
01:36:31.000Of course, that was a violation of the constitution.
01:38:43.000For those of you that use PayPal on the website, I think most of you don't have to do anything.
01:38:49.000If you signed up with PayPal for a membership on the website, eventually it'll just automatically process through Parallel Economy, and you don't have to do anything.
01:38:58.000If you used a PayPal account to do it, then I don't know for sure.
01:39:04.000To tell your friends, we have been working really hard to get PayPal off the site as our payment processor.
01:39:11.000And to use parallel economy, so we can support new technology from companies that don't hate you, or at the very least, like you a little bit.
01:41:06.000We've got to figure out how we're going to do it.
01:41:08.000And then, you know, the idea is these, these towns in West Virginia, they have like 30 to 40,000 people and they're very small, but if you build it, they will come.
01:41:51.000Yo, it's very difficult and expensive to do all this dev work, but we're working on it.
01:41:56.000And you know, the thing is, like, I know, once we have a mobile app, like, we get more members, which means more money, which means we can build faster, and we're doing, we're going as fast as we can, I suppose.
01:42:11.000So the default method of payment on TimCast.com is Parallel Economy.
01:42:16.000That means signing up at TimCast.com supports a Dan Bongino company, it opposes censorship, and it supports us more than anybody, but you gotta get more companies using Parallel Economy, because I would be very happy if one day it was like, PayPal?
01:42:43.000Not all of it, because some of it was done, like some people paid directly on his website, but there was like 1.2 million frozen right now that he doesn't have access to.
01:48:04.000But Trump saying he's going to fire everybody.
01:48:05.000That's, that's, you know, that's great.
01:48:07.000Craig Shirt says, we need the TimCast Speak Your Mind Tour to provide a safe place for people to speak.
01:48:13.000We are planning on, for one, opening up our own venue, which would have smaller local events.
01:48:18.000We would do like maybe one or two a month, TimCast IRL live Friday night, where it'll be at a venue, but it'll also still be live on YouTube and all that.
01:48:27.000But we're also actually setting up some events.
01:48:29.000We're looking at like Miami, Nashville, and Austin, I think.
01:48:32.000To do the plan right now is we are going to do a Friday night IRL live which will be I think five hours long so excellent very hard work for all of the Timcast crew and then the speakers for the event actually just come in and join the podcast and then get up and leave like every hour so we would have like I think four or five guests We would sit here the whole time.
01:48:57.000Granted, I think, honestly, I'd be the only one sitting here the entire time, because obviously we could have people come in if Lydia needed a break and people have to go to the bathroom and stuff like that.
01:49:05.000Me, I would just sit there and, you know.
01:50:06.000Just completely impossible to run a business while traveling.
01:50:10.000And so I've had one company say, we will get you a private plane every Friday after your morning show to fly out to the city when the show is ready to go.
01:50:16.000And I was like, Still really hard work.
01:50:27.000Stefan Bukov says, Drex had a great interview with a furry.
01:50:31.000Turns out they dress up because the anonymity provided by costumes allows them to do the most heinous and debaucherous acts while dissociating themselves from those acts.
01:52:17.000Alright, Evil Empire Cigar Society says, I have a cigar show interviewing brand owners in the industry with people like The Daily Wirecast and Crowder that enjoy them.
01:52:26.000Would you consider doing some content with us?
01:54:16.000But as I said, I think when you're dealing with actual evil, when you're dealing with genuine malice, if you are a Decent, non-malicious, non-evil person.
01:54:26.000It can be really hard to understand the motive.
01:54:29.000The same goes, that's why it's so hard.
01:54:31.000You can't understand serial killers and stuff, right?
01:54:33.000You're not meant to be able to understand it because you just don't even operate.
01:54:37.000It was really like AOC faking being in handcuffs.
01:54:46.000And then later she was like, it's because it's the safest thing to do so you don't get charged with resisting.
01:54:49.000It's like, lady, you're a sitting member of Congress at a sit-in being carried away to a VIP gathering area where you're gonna stand and fist pump with a bunch of other members of Congress.
01:55:01.000I could see, though, if she was flailing her arms around as she was walking like this, then if someone mimicked her and did it and got hurt, then that would be a problem.
01:56:02.000But then if you're like, well, I'm still gonna sell my goods, they'll send Feds or whatever to the house and be like, no, you're gonna come with us.
01:56:09.000I mean, I guess there is some element of truth to the fact that everything in the world... I mean, one could argue that everything in the world that exists is ultimately, at the end point, backed up by violence or the threat of it.
01:56:59.000Okay, well, if I hire that guy, he's got a cell phone, and if a key goes missing or something, I can just text him.
01:57:03.000Yeah, I'm not gonna hire the guy without a cell phone.
01:57:06.000Someone's gonna have a brain implant, and they're gonna be like, oh, if anything happens, just interface with me and I'll give you all the info.
01:57:11.000Well, I say tattooed because eventually we'll be having like removable tattoos on the back of our neck that can do the same thing the implant can do, so you won't need invasive stuff.
01:57:38.000A graphing tattoo to continuously monitor your brainwaves.
01:57:41.000But people don't understand that Amish don't really live completely just like without... I know it's not literally nothing.
01:57:49.000There's like, um, if you go along the East coast, there's like a supermarket run by the Amish and there's like ice cream machines and grills, like, but they're dressed like, you know, Amish people and they make food and you eat it.
01:58:03.000There's varying degrees, just like they're over there.
01:58:05.000I think we just got to ask someone who's Amish to like, Hey, explain that.
01:58:09.000Cause I remember in Chicago is a farmer's market and like an, a truck said like Amish farms pulls up and they're like Amish people driving in the car, pulling up to sell their food or whatever.
01:58:17.000They'll do it if it involves making money.
01:58:19.000Yeah, I think people completely exaggerate a lot of what Amish people do.
01:58:25.000But I do think it's, for the most part, probably true.
01:58:27.000They're chillin', minding their own business.
01:58:30.000Honey Badgers has had a debate with a friend about your Civil War theory, and he pointed out states suing another state, IDK, the court working on state courts.
01:58:37.000And my issue is, what if the feds say, we're not getting involved?
01:58:40.000So the scenario I presented is, Colorado has no restriction on abortion, Texas bans abortion.
01:58:46.000Man and woman have kid, or get pregnant.
01:58:48.000At eight months, the woman says, you know what, I don't want the kid, I'm gonna kill it.
01:59:24.000Or what if Texas then says we no longer allow interstate commerce with Colorado because of the kidnapping of one of our residents for execution or something?
02:00:13.000I think that we need to be careful when we're being realistic.
02:00:20.000I'm not saying stick your head in the sand and act like there's nothing wrong.
02:00:24.000I talk about plenty of things that are wrong in the world and so on, but I think that these things can become self-fulfilling prophecies.
02:00:30.000I think if you think that, oh my gosh, whoever you think are the evil elites or globalists or people who want to just run things and enslave humanity, I think if the narrative is pushed that this is just inevitable and it's going to happen and it's hopeless and there's nothing you can do about it, I think it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy because demoralization is incredibly powerful.
02:00:50.000I mean, if you want to completely crush an enemy, then you demoralize them to the point where they don't even fight because they don't think that they can even win.
02:01:14.000I've been saying that because we've had a bunch of people who were like, dude, I literally don't care what people do when they're engaging in their own personal, you know, life choices or styles or whatever.
02:01:24.000I learned this as a lesson when I was a kid, and I told the story before that when we started skating, the cool thing was to wear skin-tight jeans.
02:01:31.000The older guys in their 20s wore really big baggy jeans, and they made fun of us.
02:01:36.000And we laughed at them for being old and out of touch.
02:01:39.000Then when I got older, the younger kids started wearing dickies that went down to their ankles, like floods.
02:01:44.000And then all the people that were my age started making fun of them, being like, look at those idiots wearing flooded pants.
02:01:49.000And I was like, bro, you're saying exactly what that dude said about you for wearing tight jeans.
02:01:53.000And he was like, well, yeah, I know, but tight jeans are cool and those are dumb.
02:02:22.000You can follow me at Zubymusic, that is Z-U-B-Y music, and go to teamzuby.com if you want to check out my music, merchandise, everything else.
02:02:31.000And my children's book, The Candy Calamity, is out now with Brave Books, and you can get that at candycalamity.com.
02:02:38.000If you want to see me again, you can find me on Instagram or WeChat at Closer Kitty.
02:02:44.000And I also demand that you go subscribe to Pop Culture Crisis on YouTube.
02:03:12.000And one special shout out to Tim's big, beautiful rooster that's up in, I was going to say Central Park, but maybe we can do that at some point.
02:03:28.000Well, speaking of the black pill and the white pill and the Zuby pill, I do have to say that Zuby's Twitter is actually an excellent source of positivity.
02:03:35.000One of the only ones that I have found to be consistently uplifting on Twitter.
02:03:39.000So I feel like he's single handedly making the platform into something good, which is very encouraging to see.
