00:00:01.000 What's going on, everybody?

00:00:02.000 Oh, hey there.

00:00:03.000 Welcome to day... I don't know what day are we on.

00:00:07.000 50 of the apocalypse.

00:00:08.000 Oh my gosh.

00:00:09.000 Day 65 of this week?

00:00:11.000 Jeez.

00:00:13.000 When's it gonna end?

00:00:14.000 It'll never end.

00:00:17.000 A year?

00:00:17.000 18 months, I think?

00:00:18.000 plan.

00:00:18.000 That's the U.S.

00:00:19.000 They're saying it's gonna be 18 months.

00:00:21.000 is planning for.

00:00:21.000 That's what the U.S.

00:00:23.000 18 months.

00:00:24.000 That's nuts.

00:00:26.000 Yeah, what just happened?

00:00:28.000 We got an F in chat.

00:00:29.000 Oh no.

00:00:30.000 Yeah, what just?

00:00:32.000 Yeah, it's not working.

00:00:33.000 What's up?

00:00:34.000 It should be working.

00:00:35.000 I've got it pulled up right here.

00:00:36.000 It says live.

00:00:36.000 It's not working.

00:00:37.000 And what do you see on the screen?

00:00:38.000 TimCast IRL.

00:00:40.000 Oh yeah, we're good.

00:00:41.000 They're complaining because we're a minute late!

00:00:41.000 Why are people complaining?

00:00:43.000 That's rude.

00:00:45.000 Whatever, man.

00:00:46.000 So anyway, we, uh... Everybody's freaking out because we're a minute late.

00:00:46.000 There we go.

00:00:50.000 Hey, come on.

00:00:51.000 It's because there's a delay.

00:00:51.000 Oh my gosh.

00:00:53.000 I pressed the live button the moment it comes up.

00:00:56.000 You did the best.

00:00:57.000 And then YouTube has like a minute delay.

00:00:59.000 Yeah, so we're here.

00:01:00.000 Yeah, we're good.

00:01:01.000 Yeah, we're here.

00:01:02.000 People are pressing F in the chat because... What up, everybody?

00:01:05.000 Thanks for worrying about us.

00:01:05.000 Yo.

00:01:07.000 Appreciate it.

00:01:08.000 But we're here.

00:01:08.000 We made it.

00:01:08.000 A little tardy.

00:01:09.000 Fashionably late.

00:01:10.000 A little tired.

00:01:11.000 Yeah, a little bit.

00:01:12.000 We've been making our own bread recently.

00:01:14.000 Because, you know, we're under martial law.

00:01:17.000 It's good bread.

00:01:19.000 Jackboot people, stormtroopers marching down the street.

00:01:21.000 I'm just kidding.

00:01:21.000 We're making hardtack.

00:01:23.000 I love that we have a skate park in our backyard.

00:01:24.000 We kind of do.

00:01:25.000 We have concrete in the backyard.

00:01:28.000 We have concrete in the backyard.

00:01:29.000 We can put some skate stuff.

00:01:30.000 We can skate.

00:01:30.000 We've got a mini ramp.

00:01:32.000 Yeah, I know.

00:01:33.000 It's a medium ramp.

00:01:34.000 It's pretty good.

00:01:35.000 It's not really mini.

00:01:36.000 No, it's mini, dude.

00:01:36.000 That's so small.

00:01:37.000 Okay, right.

00:01:38.000 It would be better if it was at least four and a half feet or five feet.

00:01:40.000 Man, it's 16 foot across.

00:01:42.000 It's pretty long.

00:01:44.000 It's great.

00:01:44.000 I love it.

00:01:46.000 So, for all of you that are dealing with the current apocalypse, I know that there's probably...

00:01:52.000 I wouldn't know how to bet, but I bet a lot of people don't live in cities.

00:01:57.000 That's true.

00:01:58.000 I'd be willing to bet, you know, most of the people are not going to live.

00:02:01.000 I don't know.

00:02:01.000 Maybe I'm wrong.

00:02:02.000 I could not imagine living in Chicago or New York right now.

00:02:05.000 I'm so happy I'm gone from New York.

00:02:07.000 At least in Chicago, they still have backyards.

00:02:09.000 It is now the epicenter of the U.S.

00:02:12.000 coronavirus.

00:02:13.000 Oh, totally.

00:02:13.000 They have thousands.

00:02:14.000 They're getting their own hospital ship.

00:02:15.000 That's what I was saying.

00:02:16.000 Two hospital ships.

00:02:16.000 Trump's bringing in... Two hospital ships.

00:02:20.000 Yeah, that makes sense.

00:02:21.000 It's cool.

00:02:22.000 It's surrounded by water.

00:02:23.000 It's so smart.

00:02:24.000 Yeah.

00:02:24.000 But they're not for a coronavirus.

00:02:26.000 What?

00:02:26.000 For the regular people?

00:02:28.000 Right, yeah.

00:02:30.000 That makes sense, actually.

00:02:31.000 So people with coronavirus can go to the hospitals and not infect it to regular folks.

00:02:36.000 Yeah, I like it.

00:02:37.000 That makes sense.

00:02:37.000 Yeah, I want to get back to New York now.

00:02:39.000 So our lead story here, which has a lot of people concerned, disconcerted.

00:02:45.000 Shocking moment exhausted Dutch health minister collapses in parliament due to fatigue from intense weeks fighting

00:02:52.000 coronavirus crisis.

00:02:52.000 Now I know you can trust you know you can choose to trust the official statement or you can trust the media.

00:02:58.000 Yeah.

00:02:58.000 you can choose to question government officials who have been repeatedly trying to downplay this.

00:03:03.000 And even in my opinion, even the ones that are saying like, no, it is a bigger deal.

00:03:07.000 Then then we realize they're still downplaying it. Yeah. So there's another story right now

00:03:12.000 about Tucker Carlson, who is that Fox News host, you know, everybody knows who he is, I guess.

00:03:17.000 And apparently he was talking to somebody in intelligence who said China was lying

00:03:21.000 about everything. And this is really, really bad.

00:03:23.000 So he actually went down to talk to Trump and told him, like, you have to get on this.

00:03:28.000 And so I guess the story is Trump just doesn't trust the media.

00:03:33.000 And I don't disagree.

00:03:36.000 I totally understand why.

00:03:37.000 Right.

00:03:37.000 I mean, who doesn't trust the media?

00:03:39.000 Do you trust the media?

00:03:41.000 No, of course not.

00:03:41.000 I know I don't.

00:03:42.000 I don't trust the media.

00:03:43.000 This is hilarious.

00:03:44.000 There was a research study done by Edelman, and they found that of like 15 different criteria, the most trusted individuals on the coronavirus are scientists.

00:03:57.000 Makes sense.

00:03:57.000 The least trusted, journalists.

00:04:00.000 Journalists scored less than someone like me.

00:04:03.000 Yes!

00:04:04.000 That means you could walk up to a stranger on the street and he could be like, so I heard there's a virus.

00:04:08.000 And you'd be like, really?

00:04:09.000 And if a journalist said it, they'd be like, I don't know about that.

00:04:11.000 I don't trust you.

00:04:14.000 Now, I'll tell you what they're going to start saying in the media.

00:04:16.000 It's Trump's fault for attacking the press.

00:04:18.000 It's like, no, dude.

00:04:19.000 Yeah, it's your fault for putting up.

00:04:21.000 So here's why I bring that up.

00:04:22.000 The press has just gotten worse and worse.

00:04:24.000 Well, the reason I bring this up is So we actually have the video.

00:04:28.000 Let me play the video for everybody first.

00:04:30.000 This is BNO Newsroom, and let's just play it so you can see.

00:04:36.000 Alright, there he is right there, and then boom, he just goes down.

00:04:40.000 People rush over to help pick him up.

00:04:42.000 So here's the thing.

00:04:43.000 Here's the thing.

00:04:45.000 Why don't you tell me what the thing is?

00:04:46.000 I will tell you what the thing is.

00:04:47.000 What is the thing?

00:04:47.000 I really want to know.

00:04:48.000 We've had a series of videos of people collapsing in the street.

00:04:52.000 And for the longest time, we've had tons of people saying, no, no, no, it's not, it's

00:04:57.000 not coronavirus related at all.

00:04:58.000 And then it's like people wearing masks in China, falling down face first.

00:05:02.000 There's one video.

00:05:02.000 It's creepy, man.

00:05:03.000 Someone just keels just boom right in the ground and blood is coming out.

00:05:07.000 People are freaking out.

00:05:08.000 There's one video where someone like struggles and then falls and tries to stop themselves.

00:05:13.000 We had the same videos come out of Iran.

00:05:15.000 And then we had one dude in Queens.

00:05:18.000 Queens, right.

00:05:19.000 I remember that.

00:05:20.000 Now, we don't know these are all coronavirus.

00:05:22.000 But I gotta say, isn't there like an Occam's razor on this one?

00:05:22.000 True.

00:05:25.000 You have a global pandemic, a respiratory illness that causes people to become faint and have shortness of breath, and then people pass out.

00:05:31.000 I mean, two plus two equals four, right?

00:05:33.000 Right.

00:05:34.000 So when you see a video of this Dutch healthcare minister, you can just go by what they're saying.

00:05:39.000 No, no, no, he's just fatigued.

00:05:41.000 He's tired.

00:05:42.000 Or is this really something different?

00:05:44.000 I mean, that's what they're saying, but...

00:05:46.000 So they say.

00:05:47.000 I don't think so.

00:05:49.000 Do you think he was sick?

00:05:50.000 Yeah.

00:05:50.000 Yeah, man.

00:05:51.000 I think so.

00:05:53.000 It's all over Europe.

00:05:54.000 Yeah, he was saying that he's just been tired and fatigued.

00:05:56.000 And that's possible, too.

00:05:58.000 It could be true.

00:05:58.000 I was going to say, this is kind of exhausting.

00:06:00.000 To faint like that, though.

00:06:02.000 He collapsed.

00:06:03.000 That wasn't like, oh, man, I'm faint.

00:06:03.000 Yeah.

00:06:07.000 Yeah, because I feel like if he really was fatigued, he would have just, you know, sat down.

00:06:11.000 Like, you'd get to the point where you're like, I need to sit down.

00:06:14.000 That looked, like, uncontrolled.

00:06:16.000 So maybe, look, maybe he's not taking his vitamins.

00:06:18.000 Maybe he's got a bad diet.

00:06:20.000 People that are that, I mean, working that hard, first off, we do need people that are working crazy, but you're basically Lowering your immune system when you do contract it you're gonna get hit crazy good point, man So if if this isn't the coronavirus and he's that weak right now if he comes in contact with anybody this dude's dead Well, come on.

00:06:42.000 I don't know about dead.

00:06:43.000 Hey, I'm fine You're right.

00:06:45.000 I don't know for certain.

00:06:46.000 Nah, I'll be in the hospital.

00:06:47.000 But he's obviously an older gentleman.

00:06:49.000 He's 56.

00:06:50.000 Yeah.

00:06:51.000 Yup, he's getting close.

00:06:52.000 If he's that weak that he's passing out while standing and working, he's susceptible, man.

00:06:59.000 Here's what he said.

00:07:00.000 He said, quote, I was feeling faint from fatigue in intense weeks.

00:07:04.000 I am feeling better now.

00:07:05.000 I am going home now to rest this evening so I can return tomorrow to fight the corona crisis.

00:07:09.000 He said in a message on social media.

00:07:11.000 Bruins is a top government health official in the Netherlands, where the number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus rose by 346 on Wednesday to 2,051, with 58 deaths, the country's National Institute for Health said.

00:07:23.000 So, look at Italy, man.

00:07:27.000 Yeah.

00:07:27.000 475 deaths in one day.

00:07:29.000 Dude, New York City just doubled theirs as well.

00:07:31.000 Doubled their deaths.

00:07:32.000 Really?

00:07:33.000 What's the number?

00:07:34.000 Doubled to 1871.

00:07:36.000 That's the total reported cases?

00:07:37.000 Yep.

00:07:38.000 But what about the deaths?

00:07:39.000 Sorry, sorry.

00:07:39.000 Not deaths.

00:07:40.000 Do you know the death numbers?

00:07:42.000 I think the deaths in New York City is only like 10 or 6.

00:07:45.000 Dude, when MSNBC came out and now I guess they've done like multiple segments where it's at least Joe Scarborough being like, we must support the president.

00:07:55.000 That's me being like, whoa.

00:07:56.000 Like, what's happening?

00:07:58.000 Dude, these people are scared if they're going to come out and support Trump.

00:08:02.000 But what Scarborough was saying is that the worst case estimates are 2 million dead, more than World War II, Korea, Vietnam combined or something like that.

00:08:11.000 Dang.

00:08:12.000 Yeah, dude.

00:08:13.000 That's why people are freaking out.

00:08:14.000 So anyway, check this out.

00:08:15.000 I've got another video.

00:08:17.000 This is a video from Wuhan Hospital.

00:08:19.000 Patient collapses on the ground.

00:08:21.000 And, look, this is a verified, this is Chinese-Austrian artist haunted by the Chinese.

00:08:27.000 I don't know who this person is, but they're a verified Twitter user, so they have, you know, I don't know if that necessarily means they're more credible or less, because journalists, you know what I mean?

00:08:36.000 But what, you know, what am I supposed to think when I see a bunch of people wearing masks in a hospital and someone passes out?

00:08:41.000 And we're talking about a respiratory illness.

00:08:43.000 Now, the funny thing about this is that I actually pulled up, there was a bunch of videos from Snopes.

00:08:48.000 Okay.

00:08:49.000 And I'm actually, you know, they're criticizing the president because he was downplaying this.

00:08:53.000 Okay.

00:08:54.000 But Snopes and other fact-checking outlets were really, really, really downplaying this.

00:08:58.000 Whenever somebody would say something like this, like, check this out, Wuhan pneumonia, they'd say, no, no, no, fake news, fake news, ignore it all.

00:09:05.000 The World Health Organization tweeted mid-January, new report, new study from China shows that the coronavirus can't be transmitted person to person.

00:09:15.000 And the tweet's still live.

00:09:16.000 Wow.

00:09:17.000 Yeah, man.

00:09:18.000 And they want us to believe them.

00:09:19.000 Now here's where it gets really, really crazy.

00:09:21.000 Oh my gosh.

00:09:22.000 This story really blew my mind.

00:09:24.000 Tucker Carlson says Trump allies wanted to pretend coronavirus wasn't happening, went to Mar-a-Lago to warn the president.

00:09:30.000 Now that's not what I find shocking.

00:09:32.000 I think it's a cool story.

00:09:34.000 Good for you, Tucker.

00:09:35.000 You know, going and getting the job done.

00:09:37.000 But what's crazy is that apparently, Tucker was talking to somebody who worked in intelligence, who told him that China was lying.

00:09:43.000 Check this out.

00:09:45.000 Carlson said he was alerted to the danger of the new coronavirus after speaking to a non-partisan figure in the US government with access to intelligence, who claimed that the Chinese authorities were not being transparent about the outbreak, which really got my attention.

00:09:58.000 Carlson talked about the outbreak in his monologue on his show on February 3rd, but attention at the time was focused on the Iowa caucuses, and that when people see everything through an ideological lens, it's very hard to get to tell a straightforward story.

00:10:12.000 This was very, very early.

00:10:14.000 Good on Tucker.

00:10:15.000 Calling this out, but what is disconcerting to me is that this story basically confirms, look, I know everyone basically speculates China's lying.

00:10:27.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:10:28.000 I mean, we know, look, when the World Health Organization is like, China says we're good, then it's like, now here we are.

00:10:36.000 And now it's a global pandemic.

00:10:37.000 We're not good.

00:10:38.000 But this just came out.

00:10:40.000 People in intelligence in the US government knew.

00:10:44.000 Yeah, they knew.

00:10:45.000 So apparently what ended up happening was Trump is hearing from all of these, you know, he's got, he's got yes men around him and he's got people who just don't trust the media.

00:10:53.000 So they're like, no, no, no, no, ignore this.

00:10:56.000 And a lot of Fox personalities were saying the same thing, you know, incorrectly, but that's the big challenge when you have, like you said, an ideological lens, you have all of these people, you know, in media who just lie all the time.

00:11:06.000 So who's going to believe it?

00:11:08.000 I mean, my initial reaction when I saw this in China very early, like in January was, Like what's it gonna be?

00:11:14.000 And then a week later, I was like, whoa, like probably around the same time as Tucker.

00:11:17.000 And I was like, this is getting serious.

00:11:18.000 Yeah.

00:11:19.000 So you have the people in the U.S.

00:11:22.000 government.

00:11:22.000 I don't know what advice they were giving to Trump, but he wasn't listening.

00:11:25.000 You know, he's like, I don't believe it.

00:11:26.000 I'm not going to buy it.

00:11:27.000 People are trying to mess with me.

00:11:28.000 Yeah.

00:11:29.000 But if now they're saying things like, oh, we got good news.

00:11:33.000 China is saying the cases are going down.

00:11:36.000 You've got to be out of your mind to believe China.

00:11:38.000 So wait, someone believes something coming out of China?

00:11:41.000 What is this?

00:11:42.000 No, I don't believe any of it.

00:11:43.000 Why would anyone in their right mind believe them now?

00:11:46.000 No, it doesn't make any sense.

00:11:46.000 But this story, to me, it gives some confirmation that the U.S.

00:11:50.000 government knows that China's been lying the whole time.

00:11:52.000 So if anyone in the government now comes out and says, you know, China's, you know, getting the numbers down, we're seeing the end of this, I'm gonna be like, nah, you're lying.

00:11:58.000 Yeah.

00:11:58.000 You're lying.

00:11:58.000 We got the story right here, man.

00:12:00.000 Well, this was in February, though.

00:12:01.000 No, no, no.

00:12:02.000 Right, so this is when he was being told.

00:12:03.000 So, this story just came out.

00:12:07.000 And Tucker said someone told him China was not being transparent about what was going on.

00:12:11.000 I have no reason to believe they're transparent now.

00:12:14.000 Or ever have been.

00:12:15.000 Oh, yeah, dude.

00:12:16.000 Oh, come on.

00:12:16.000 Like, literally everything out of China is a lie.

00:12:18.000 They steal our IP.

00:12:21.000 They've manipulated their currency to steal our manufacturing.

00:12:24.000 They're just underhanded.

00:12:25.000 You know, they're government.

00:12:27.000 It's funny, whenever you try and criticize governments, you get bombarded with people calling you racist.

00:12:32.000 It's like, dude, China's not the most racist country on the planet, man.

00:12:35.000 Spare me.

00:12:35.000 I'm not interested.

00:12:37.000 Yeah, so... Yeah, honestly, I feel bad for, like, the citizens of China.

00:12:41.000 Yeah, the Chinese people.

00:12:42.000 Yeah, like the normal... Not the CCP.

00:12:43.000 ...the everyday people that... But they don't know, man.

00:12:46.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:12:47.000 I mean, look, I'm not an expert on China.

00:12:49.000 Like, I get hit up by a ton of people in the comments saying, like, you should check out these channels.

00:12:53.000 Yeah, that's, like, you know, I've seen some of them, and for sure.

00:12:57.000 My understanding is, you know, because I've talked to a few people who are experts in the region, some journalists, and they were saying that they're low-income, uneducated, you know, people who just go about their daily lives.

00:13:07.000 And they're just kind of like cogs in the machine.

00:13:09.000 They're not super concerned for the most part.

00:13:11.000 There are a lot of people who are, but a lot of regular people are just like, leave me alone.

00:13:15.000 And so the government does their thing, and as long as you don't rock the boat, you just do your thing and you live.

00:13:20.000 How do you convince someone?

00:13:24.000 The worst thing about it is, it's the other stuff China does, like the Uyghur camps.

00:13:29.000 At what point do we have to do something?

00:13:31.000 Does the international community have to do something?

00:13:32.000 I honestly don't know.

00:13:34.000 It's not like, you know, we can sanction a lot of countries.

00:13:38.000 Yeah.

00:13:39.000 But we can't really do that with China.

00:13:41.000 China's too big.

00:13:42.000 Well, there's something you said the other day.

00:13:43.000 I think it was like a couple of weeks ago.

00:13:45.000 And you were saying, like, if their economy does crumble, they have two options.

00:13:49.000 Ask for help or go to war.

00:13:52.000 Yeah.

00:13:52.000 Well, so what was that EMP thing?

00:13:54.000 And now, I mean, weren't they like making threats?

00:13:58.000 I mean, yeah.

00:13:59.000 Targeting us or something?

00:14:00.000 What was that EMP thing?

00:14:01.000 Did you pull that up?

00:14:02.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:14:03.000 It was something about them like saying, well, if you come into our waters, we're going to

00:14:10.000 EMP your ships.

00:14:11.000 The waters they're basically claiming are theirs that they're stealing.

00:14:14.000 Yeah.

00:14:14.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:14:16.000 But it's like, they're almost looking for any excuse.

00:14:18.000 Looking for a fight, yeah.

00:14:20.000 You know, like, I dare you, come into our waters.

00:14:22.000 Dude, I think... Those are our waters, even though they're not, but... I think we're dangerously close to an actual full-on conflict.

00:14:28.000 Yeah, I think so.

00:14:29.000 I think a lot of, you know, a lot of people haven't been paying attention to the stuff that's been happening over the past several years.

00:14:33.000 I bring it up often.

00:14:35.000 When I was working for Fusion, there was a team of journalists there that were, I say team, but it was a couple, they were investigating the Nicaraguan Canal.

00:14:44.000 Now this collapsed, but basically you had Chinese interests didn't want to pay for the Panama Canal.

00:14:51.000 Yeah.

00:14:51.000 Right.

00:14:51.000 That canal is beast, man.

00:14:53.000 You want to bring your boat all the way around South America or you want to cut through the

00:14:56.000 middle?

00:14:57.000 So they're like, how much will it cost to just dig straight through Nicaragua?

00:15:01.000 And that would have essentially drained one of the largest freshwater sources in Central

00:15:05.000 America.

00:15:06.000 And they're like, we don't care.

00:15:07.000 We want to get our boats the other side.

00:15:08.000 So I guess the project fell through.

00:15:10.000 But they've been doing these things that...

00:15:12.000 Undermining us, basically.

00:15:13.000 Exactly.

00:15:14.000 Yeah.

00:15:14.000 Like, it doesn't make sense to make a new canal that would go through Nicaragua, which is, like, ridiculously long relative to Panama.

00:15:22.000 Right.

00:15:22.000 They didn't care.

00:15:22.000 They said, light it up, dump the money.

00:15:25.000 So they do crazy things to manipulate their currencies to scam the system.

00:15:28.000 They steal our IP.

00:15:30.000 Right now, this is the craziest thing.

00:15:32.000 They've been secretly giving money to academics to steal our research.

00:15:35.000 And they're these academics, they're in on the take.

00:15:38.000 They don't report it, they lie to the feds.

00:15:40.000 Yeah, dude, we're dangerously close.

00:15:42.000 I don't think people realize at a certain point, so here's my worst case kind of vision of what we have.

00:15:49.000 China's economy took a major, major hit and so did ours.

00:15:53.000 And that's the fallout from something we can't necessarily control, but China was lying about it.

00:15:58.000 Now we're gonna see, Trump just invoked the Defense Production Act, which means he can seize

00:16:04.000 basically the whole economy this business is crazy man

00:16:08.000 The Defense Production Act basically means he can set prices, set wages, he can just, boom, do it.

00:16:12.000 A lot of power, yeah.

00:16:13.000 A lot of power.

00:16:14.000 I mean, it's a wartime event, right?

00:16:17.000 Yeah.

00:16:18.000 So what happens now that we're taking all of this stuff away from China?

00:16:21.000 They were undermining us, they were taking our manufacturing, that was building up their economy, we take it all back, then what?

00:16:28.000 They get desperate, they get angry, facing collapse.

00:16:31.000 You know, it's possible the rich people in China just bow out, but I gotta imagine there's some people in that government who are gonna be like, no way, I'm not giving it up, and I'll take it by force.

00:16:40.000 So I think, you know, what you end up seeing is, I don't think you'll see China, you know, send a bunch of U-boats to our shores and then storm the beaches of, you know, San Diego or something.

00:16:49.000 But what you will see is them increasing their push on the South China Sea into other regions, doing underhanded deals with other countries that we've sanctioned, and then eventually it gets to that point where... World War III?

00:17:00.000 Yeah.

00:17:01.000 Yeah, because, like, imagine you have the South China Sea.

00:17:03.000 Let's say China starts saying, you know what?

00:17:06.000 The more we isolate our economies, this is one of the ideas that, you know, I don't necessarily want to use the word globalist, but there are people who had this political theory that if you create free trade, you will force economic trade lines that both countries will resist being broken, you know, which prevents war.

00:17:25.000 So, if we had, say, the TPP with China, and all of our manufacturing is over there, war would be very difficult because it's supposed to be reciprocal.

00:17:34.000 Right.

00:17:35.000 But it wasn't.

00:17:36.000 So, I don't want to pretend like I know what the plan was that a lot of these politicians had, but this is something that's been talked about.

00:17:42.000 If you get trade lines between the countries, both sides have an interest in not going to war.

00:17:47.000 But what happens when China controls, it's all one-sided, and they're getting everything from it, and just extracting your labor and siphoning it away?

00:17:56.000 What happens when you cut that off?

00:17:58.000 It's like taking away the drug from the addict.

00:18:01.000 Yeah, basically.

00:18:02.000 So, I don't know.

00:18:03.000 Slashing their income.

00:18:05.000 They don't want that.

00:18:06.000 Nope.

00:18:07.000 And they'll go back to being a regional power.

00:18:10.000 So I don't know, man.

00:18:12.000 Look, I don't think we're necessarily days away from something like that.

00:18:17.000 But what happens if they're like, now that we're not getting business, we have to step things up?

00:18:22.000 Or they do blow up one of our ships that crosses into their water.

00:18:24.000 They've already lasered it, remember?

00:18:25.000 Oh yeah, it's not that long ago.

00:18:27.000 Remember, we talked about this?

00:18:28.000 They lasered one of our planes, right?

00:18:30.000 So I don't know, was it a scanning thing?

00:18:33.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:33.000 And so the U.S.

00:18:35.000 was like, hey, don't do that.

00:18:37.000 Man, Americans don't want to go to war, you know what I mean?

00:18:40.000 No.

00:18:40.000 One of the challenges of any democratic system, we're not a democracy, we're a constitutional republic, but we use democratic institutions to send representatives to Washington.

00:18:50.000 With representative government, it is very, very difficult to go to war.

00:18:55.000 China?

00:18:57.000 War.

00:18:57.000 Yeah, because they're a totalitarian state.

00:18:59.000 Exactly.

00:18:59.000 It's really easy.

00:19:01.000 Yep.

00:19:01.000 If they go to war with us, it'll be pretty easy to go, okay, we're going to war with you.

00:19:06.000 Yeah.

00:19:06.000 Right.

00:19:07.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:19:08.000 I mean, you'd be surprised, man.

00:19:10.000 So I don't know all of my World War II history, but I remember reading that they were anti-World War II protesters.

00:19:16.000 They were like, we should not enter, you know, we should not intervene and stuff, and they were protesting that we were going over there.

00:19:23.000 You know, the really crazy thing about military and stuff is that people don't seem to realize how powerful a single individual with a gun is.

00:19:31.000 And it goes two ways, right?

00:19:33.000 So, you'll talk to these people, a lot of like, I guess, I don't know, more urban types, uneducated, non-military, you know, no experience, and they'll say things like, no one will go to war with us, we've got aircraft carriers and scud missiles and blah blah blah, and it's like, what is that gonna do?

00:19:50.000 We're going to level a few city blocks.

00:19:51.000 We're going to have air superiority.

00:19:53.000 Those are good things, don't get me wrong.

00:19:55.000 But, you know, you've got to watch out because some of these countries have more manpower than we do.

00:19:59.000 And you can't occupy a street corner with a Scud missile.

00:20:03.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:20:04.000 Or, I don't even know if they use Scud missiles, I don't know.

00:20:06.000 A tank.

00:20:07.000 So that's one of the funny arguments about, you know, the gun control groups is that You know, if you're really gonna go up against the government, they got missiles, and it's like, so why did we lose in Afghanistan and Vietnam?

00:20:19.000 We got a bunch of farmers with guns?

00:20:21.000 Dude, come on, man.

00:20:22.000 Yeah.

00:20:22.000 The point is, you get a bunch of angry people with weapons, and you can... Actually, you ever play Command & Conquer?

00:20:29.000 A little bit, yeah.

00:20:30.000 Or the original Warcraft.

00:20:32.000 Yeah.

00:20:32.000 You know what my strategy always was?

00:20:34.000 Send it over right away.

00:20:35.000 I'd just pump out grunts.

00:20:37.000 Mass-produce low-level combatants and then just keep sending them in waves, non-stop.

00:20:43.000 And you win.

00:20:44.000 Just overwhelm them with little dudes.

00:20:46.000 Kill their peons.

00:20:47.000 That was actually, I think, what Russia did in World War II.

00:20:50.000 They, instead of making good tanks, they were like, let's make tons of really bad tanks!

00:20:55.000 And then they just wave after wave of really awful tanks.

00:20:58.000 And, you know, it reminds me of Futurama.

00:21:00.000 I love the Futurama references, by the way.

00:21:01.000 Yeah, you do.

00:21:03.000 When Zapp Brannigan's like, I sent wave after wave of my own men until we reached the killbot limit and they shut down.

00:21:08.000 That's how we won the war.

00:21:09.000 Oh, yeah.

00:21:10.000 Yeah, but, you know, in this regard, if China ends up, you know, if we really went into a war with them, I'm pretty sure their standing army is bigger than ours.

00:21:18.000 But we do have technological superiority.

00:21:21.000 Big time.

00:21:21.000 I don't know, man.

00:21:23.000 Although they have been stealing our IP, so.

00:21:26.000 Yep.

00:21:27.000 That'll be fun.

00:21:28.000 Stealing our technology and stuff.

00:21:30.000 I guess it's called Zerg Rush.

00:21:32.000 Zerg?

00:21:33.000 That's what everyone's saying.

00:21:34.000 Really, Tim?

00:21:35.000 Zerg Rush?

00:21:36.000 Yeah.

00:21:36.000 Is that what it is?

00:21:37.000 I guess so.

00:21:38.000 Lots of people are saying it.

00:21:39.000 Make little dudes and just send them over.

00:21:40.000 Wave after wave after wave.

00:21:41.000 That's awesome.

00:21:42.000 I remember when I first started playing, like, Command & Conquer, and I'm like, you gotta upgrade your science, and then you gotta make special, you know, get the Tiberium, and then make special robots, and make the better guys.

00:21:51.000 And then my friend actually showed me, and he was like, no, just look, and he started just, like, spamming it, and just, like, making a bunch of, what are they called, GIs?

00:21:57.000 It's been two decades since I've played that game.

00:21:59.000 It's been a long time.

00:22:00.000 Although, Command & Conquer came out with a mobile game recently.

00:22:02.000 It's pretty fun.

00:22:03.000 Is it?

00:22:03.000 Yeah, it's not bad.

00:22:04.000 Oh, cool, man.

00:22:04.000 It's pretty good.

00:22:05.000 Yeah.

00:22:06.000 So what do you think, man?

00:22:08.000 Where are we at so far?

00:22:09.000 Yeah.

00:22:10.000 It's getting to the point that 18 states have deployed the National Guard.

00:22:14.000 Really?

00:22:14.000 Yeah.

00:22:15.000 18 states.

00:22:15.000 Wow.

00:22:16.000 18 states.

00:22:16.000 1,500 guardsmen.

00:22:17.000 There's talk of the Army.

00:22:18.000 I mean, look, they just deployed the Navy to New York.

00:22:21.000 Wow.

00:22:21.000 Trump's got the ability to snap his fingers and increase the minimum wage.

00:22:25.000 Yeah.

00:22:26.000 But will he do it?

00:22:27.000 No, probably not.

00:22:28.000 Probably not.

00:22:28.000 I wonder what he will do, though.

00:22:30.000 I'm curious.

00:22:31.000 Yeah, like, what is this defense act really going to get?

00:22:33.000 So far, I've not been good at predicting the future, so I have no idea what he's going to do.

00:22:37.000 Wow, man.

00:22:37.000 You know what's interesting?

00:22:38.000 A lot of people, a lot of Trump supporters are saying that this is bad for the president in a lot of ways, and I'm like, I don't think so.

00:22:46.000 Don't say that.

00:22:46.000 Not at all.

00:22:46.000 Yeah, especially if he comes out on top of this.

00:22:49.000 If he comes out on top, and this ends in two months, and the market skyrockets, and he's saved the day, dude, you're gonna see people who you never thought being like, oh, I was wrong about him.

00:22:58.000 But it's not just that.

00:22:59.000 They shut down the Canadian border.

00:23:02.000 Oh yeah, that's right.

00:23:03.000 Donald Trump's always talking about immigration, and we gotta get a hold on immigration and all that stuff.

00:23:09.000 It's like, congratulations, because of the coronavirus, boom, we shut everything down.

00:23:12.000 Yeah, everything.

00:23:13.000 He got what he wanted.

00:23:14.000 And now he has direct control over the economy.

00:23:16.000 He's gonna be able to just snap his fingers and get a lot done that he wanted to do without any impedance.

00:23:20.000 That's true.

00:23:21.000 And who's gonna argue?

00:23:22.000 If he right now is like, we need more funding for the wall, they're gonna be like, okay.

00:23:26.000 Because what's the alternative?

00:23:28.000 Everyone's closing their borders.

00:23:30.000 Yeah, this is great.

00:23:31.000 Guatemala said we're not allowed in.

00:23:33.000 No Americans.

00:23:34.000 Oh, really?

00:23:34.000 Yeah.

00:23:35.000 Dude.

00:23:36.000 This is the end of like, at least for the time being, globalization.

00:23:40.000 Yeah.

00:23:41.000 They're not gonna...

00:23:43.000 I mean, this is the time to put a hold on it, but I hope it doesn't end, you know?

00:23:49.000 It's not gonna end.

00:23:49.000 Well, what we want to avoid is authoritarianism, but I think Trump is gonna get everything he wants.

00:23:56.000 He doesn't want a bad economy, but now he's gonna have the powers to just do things without anyone standing in his way.

00:24:03.000 That is frightening.

00:24:04.000 And we're at a point now where we're dealing with a national emergency.

00:24:07.000 Like, this is the craziest thing I've ever experienced.

00:24:10.000 We're not supposed to go outside right now?

00:24:12.000 I mean, we probably could, but we might get in trouble.

00:24:14.000 New York has announced they're gonna be doing a, you know, get ready because a shelter-in-place order is coming soon.

00:24:19.000 Really?

00:24:20.000 Yeah, and they already did it in San Francisco.

00:24:22.000 Where you can get in trouble if you leave your house.

00:24:25.000 In France, you need a letter from the government to leave your own house.

00:24:28.000 I've never seen it this crazy in my life.

00:24:30.000 So think about how bad it is.

00:24:32.000 historical precedent for this.

00:24:33.000 So think about how bad it is.

00:24:37.000 What would happen if Trump right now said, Mexico has been slammed, this is true,

00:24:42.000 by the international community for doing nothing about the coronavirus?

00:24:47.000 The president is still doing big rallies.

00:24:49.000 He does them like all the time where he goes out and he hugs people and kisses them.

00:24:52.000 Oh my gosh.

00:24:52.000 There was like a video of him like biting a woman on the cheek playfully.

00:24:56.000 Seriously?

00:24:57.000 Yeah.

00:24:58.000 And the people in the country are like, no, we're fine.

00:25:00.000 No, don't worry about it.

00:25:01.000 It's like, we're good.

00:25:02.000 They're not canceling any big events.

00:25:03.000 So now Trump is going to... Now if Trump came out and said they're not taking the coronavirus seriously, we need to get this wall done.

00:25:11.000 Yeah.

00:25:12.000 Who would dare oppose him?

00:25:13.000 I mean, no one.

00:25:14.000 It just makes sense.

00:25:15.000 You'd see some people on Twitter.

00:25:16.000 Yeah, but it feels like the majority of people are like, maybe we should have that wall now.

00:25:21.000 No, no, no, there's still the stupid people on Twitter, I mean, saying things like, a wall can't stop a virus, you're so dumb.

00:25:28.000 Oh wow, Tim, why did you think of that?

00:25:29.000 Because the virus is literally walking through the border, and I expected a fence to stop them.

00:25:34.000 No, it's because people carry the virus.

00:25:35.000 I just imagine a cartoon of, you ever see the, what is that?

00:25:39.000 Man, I can't think of the name of the movie, but there's this movie where these little furballs with teeth.

00:25:45.000 It's like a horror film, and when they get together, they create a bigger ball, and they just mow people down and eat them.

00:25:51.000 It's like the coronavirus germ.

00:25:52.000 I don't remember what it is.

00:25:53.000 What's that video game where you do that?

00:25:55.000 Man, I can't remember the name of that movie.

00:25:57.000 What's that video game where you roll the ball full of big things?

00:26:00.000 I never played it.

00:26:01.000 I know you're talking about it, but I'm not sure.

00:26:03.000 The better analogy is the Simpsons reference, where the doctor's trying to explain to Mr. Burns why he can't get sick, remember?

00:26:09.000 And he has a little door, and he's like, look at these oversized novelty germs.

00:26:13.000 And he smashes, he tries to get them all to go in.

00:26:15.000 Do you remember that?

00:26:16.000 Yeah.

00:26:17.000 They're like bottlenecked.

00:26:18.000 And then he does the whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop Three Stooges thing.

00:26:21.000 What did he call it?

00:26:21.000 I don't know.

00:26:22.000 I don't remember.

00:26:23.000 Critters!

00:26:23.000 But this would be so anyway critters.

00:26:25.000 Thank you.

00:26:25.000 Yeah.

00:26:26.000 Thank you.

00:26:26.000 Critters.

00:26:27.000 All the comments are screaming critters.

00:26:29.000 Yes.

00:26:30.000 Critters.

00:26:31.000 Back to the more serious.

00:26:33.000 Thanks, everybody.

00:26:34.000 Thanks.

00:26:34.000 No, I just I'm just I'm just thinking like if it if it came out right now.

00:26:39.000 Look, these stories about Mexico not taking it seriously are,

00:26:41.000 you know, getting decent shares.

00:26:43.000 So if Trump came out and said in order to secure the country

00:26:46.000 from the threat of the coronavirus, we're going to be expanding production on the border wall.

00:26:50.000 Yeah, he'd have some detractors, but a lot of people would shut

00:26:52.000 A lot of people...

00:26:54.000 Thank you all.

00:26:55.000 There's a lot of mainstream personalities that are fair-weather anti-Trumpers.

00:27:00.000 Okay.

00:27:01.000 It's like I was saying the other day, it's really easy to hate the president when you're in a safety net.

00:27:05.000 When you're in a safety net, yeah.

00:27:06.000 But now that you have the moderates of this country, regular Americans saying, just keep me safe, now you see Joe Scarborough be like, support the president, right?

00:27:16.000 You see Dana Bash.

00:27:17.000 You want the strongman, yeah.

00:27:18.000 Well, their reaction is based on the fact that they don't want to defy what they think the general public wants.

00:27:23.000 So if Trump now says, I know a lot of people have, you know, raised questions and criticisms about this, but you have to understand what Mexico has been doing.

00:27:31.000 They've been not taking this seriously and we need to get these numbers down.

00:27:34.000 Yeah.

00:27:35.000 They're going to shut up.

00:27:36.000 They're not going to, they're not going to say anything.

00:27:38.000 As you know, because there's nothing to be gained by coming out and saying no, no security.

00:27:38.000 Yeah.

00:27:43.000 It would almost be like, and this is actually worrisome to me if this, if this continues with no one, you know, putting a check on like government authority, then You're going to have people being scared to question what Trump is doing because it's for national security, right?

00:27:58.000 Yeah.

00:27:59.000 So what happens when this all winds down?

00:28:01.000 Well, hopefully it goes back to normal.

00:28:03.000 Yeah, it won't.

00:28:04.000 I don't think it will.

00:28:06.000 What's in this coronavirus bailout bill?

00:28:08.000 It's like $300 billion for small business loans.

00:28:12.000 It's just so massive.

00:28:13.000 Isn't it almost a trillion dollars?

00:28:15.000 I think it's like 1.5 trillion.

00:28:17.000 Yeah, 1.4 or something.

00:28:19.000 So what's the national debt?

00:28:21.000 22.

00:28:21.000 21?

00:28:22.000 Some ridiculous number.

00:28:23.000 Yeah, it was really ridiculous.

00:28:25.000 So what's another trillion on top?

00:28:26.000 What's another trillion?

00:28:27.000 It's fine, we will cease to exist after this.

00:28:29.000 As long as it's helping the regular people.

00:28:31.000 The small businesses, they need help.

00:28:34.000 Does it ever though?

00:28:36.000 That's like the headline of this bill.

00:28:39.000 Of course it is, dude.

00:28:40.000 Like the Patriot Act.

00:28:42.000 Would you dare oppose it?

00:28:43.000 Until they slip in all the random things that have nothing to do with anything else.

00:28:50.000 I hate that.

00:28:51.000 I can't stand that.

00:28:52.000 That's the history of this country, man.

00:28:55.000 It's ridiculous.

00:28:57.000 It's literally the Patriot Act.

00:28:58.000 They give it this fancy name and say, would you vote against it?

00:29:01.000 And it's this massive thing no one has read.

00:29:04.000 So I think, what, Rand Paul, did he vote no on this?

00:29:06.000 I believe so.

00:29:07.000 I'm willing to bet Rand Paul did.

00:29:09.000 I would place good money on that.

00:29:10.000 He takes after his dad, Dr. No.

00:29:12.000 So he just votes no on everything.

00:29:15.000 I respect that.

00:29:15.000 If we don't know what it is, I'm not going to vote for it.

00:29:17.000 Yeah, absolutely not.

00:29:18.000 Yeah, it makes sense.

00:29:19.000 And even if you do, if they're going to spend a bunch of money, he's going to vote no.

00:29:22.000 But they're saying now it's going to be like a thousand bucks in April and May.

00:29:25.000 And what's that going to do, man?

00:29:27.000 Yeah, a thousand bucks per person.

00:29:29.000 That's not enough.

00:29:30.000 I mean, there's some hippie living in a farm who's going to be like, cool.

00:29:33.000 And there's going to be some dude with a kid being like, what?

00:29:35.000 Oh my gosh, not enough.

00:29:36.000 Yeah, man, what am I supposed to do about this?

00:29:38.000 Yeah, he did vote against it.

00:29:41.000 Oh, imagine my show.

00:29:42.000 He did vote against it.

00:29:43.000 He voted against it.

00:29:43.000 Of course he did.

00:29:45.000 Nah, I don't blame him.

00:29:45.000 I like Rand Paul.

00:29:46.000 I do too.

00:29:46.000 Well, let's do this.

00:29:47.000 Let's jump over to some Super Chats.

00:29:49.000 And then we've got another story.

00:29:50.000 This billionaire is calling for the complete shutdown of the entire government.

00:29:54.000 And that, I think, is a big... A billionaire saying it?

00:29:57.000 Yeah, apparently it's some billionaire saying, we need to shut it all down.

00:30:00.000 He's calling on Trump to do it.

00:30:01.000 Shut it down!

00:30:02.000 Because he's saying we're going too slow.

00:30:04.000 And he was like, literally, everyone stay in your home.

00:30:06.000 30 days.

00:30:07.000 Government pays for it.

00:30:08.000 Otherwise, we're gonna lose.

00:30:10.000 I have a point.

00:30:11.000 If people can survive staying in their homes for 30 days...

00:30:14.000 But like, you can go outside.

00:30:16.000 Like, these aren't, these aren't like mandatory lockdowns where the government shows up and like, get in your house!

00:30:21.000 No, it's like, you go out, walk the dog, you go to the store, but you just don't- You go to, you work, like, grocery store workers, the unsung heroes.

00:30:29.000 That's right.

00:30:30.000 Yeah, I got a lot to say about that, too.

00:30:32.000 So let's do the Super Chats first, then we'll come back to this, because there's a point I want to make about there are certain jobs that are a necessity for a society, and then there are fake jobs, like ours.

00:30:42.000 These are fake jobs.

00:30:43.000 No, they're not necessary.

00:30:44.000 You're right.

00:30:45.000 I understand.

00:30:47.000 If people are facing the apocalypse, the last thing they're going to say is, we're building a new society.

00:30:51.000 We need food, water, and political commentators.

00:30:55.000 They're gonna be like, you, chop wood.

00:30:57.000 I'm gonna be like, you got it, buddy.

00:30:59.000 You don't need me to opine on this one.

00:31:00.000 Let's grab some of these Super Chats.

00:31:03.000 So we got a bunch.

00:31:34.000 LR Design Studios, Lori Sullivan-Roy says, who collapsed?

00:31:37.000 I just joined.

00:31:38.000 So, that was a decent while ago, you know, because Super Chat's coming earlier, but just for those that are tuning in now and curious about what the initial subject was, it was the Dutch health minister was fielding questions on the coronavirus and he collapsed mid-discussion.

00:31:52.000 Somebody was saying he might have locked his knees.

00:31:55.000 Oh, yeah.

00:31:56.000 I have heard of that happening.

00:31:58.000 Bad, bad timing.

00:31:59.000 Yeah.

00:32:00.000 But come on, let's be real.

00:32:01.000 I know.

00:32:01.000 When was the last time you heard about someone collapsing?

00:32:04.000 When you heard about Iran and China and government officials?

00:32:07.000 Well, I literally watched an Iranian official get coronavirus on camera.

00:32:11.000 That was crazy.

00:32:12.000 That was exciting.

00:32:12.000 So I saw that.

00:32:13.000 That's crazy.

00:32:14.000 That's crazy, man.

00:32:18.000 Kojima says, when we all get locked down, y'all wanna 1v1 me on Destiny?

00:32:21.000 Adam?

00:32:22.000 Sure.

00:32:24.000 On PlayStation.

00:32:25.000 Podcastage says, thanks for the super chat.

00:32:26.000 Thanks for all you do, Tim.

00:32:27.000 Appreciate it.

00:32:28.000 STFU says, the further adventures of Kid Beanie and Man Bun Jesus.

00:32:33.000 You know, you're many different Jesuses.

00:32:37.000 I guess you're man bun and soy.

00:32:37.000 Yeah, I guess so.

00:32:39.000 You know, it's funny.

00:32:40.000 If you want, you can actually look it up.

00:32:42.000 I actually dressed up as Jesus for a photographer friend of mine who just like, dude, you'd make a perfect Jesus.

00:32:48.000 I'm like, the only way I'm going to do this is if you film me skating.

00:32:53.000 So what you're saying is that you admit to being a blasphemer?

00:32:56.000 I guess so, for sure.

00:32:57.000 But you can go to my YouTube channel, just type my name and search.

00:33:01.000 It's like Jesus Longboards in New York or something.

00:33:04.000 Or in Central Park.

00:33:05.000 It's funny.

00:33:06.000 Check this out.

00:33:06.000 We got a guy who works at Family Dollar.

00:33:08.000 Mark Taylor says, I work at Family Dollar in St.

00:33:10.000 Charles.

00:33:11.000 We stocked TP last night and ran out within an hour of opening today.

00:33:15.000 Was also in the Navy.

00:33:16.000 Those ships suck.

00:33:18.000 I've never been on one.

00:33:19.000 Do you know what's funny?

00:33:20.000 Is that people are still buying up toilet paper.

00:33:23.000 Like, there was a video of a guy who thought he was buying 48 rolls, and he bought 48 boxes.

00:33:28.000 So he built a throne.

00:33:30.000 Like, dude, why are you people ordering all this stuff, man?

00:33:35.000 They run in and buy toilet paper, I swear to God, in a couple months it's gonna be over, and they're gonna have a toilet paper room.

00:33:39.000 And they're gonna be like, oh, where did you put the vacuum?

00:33:42.000 It's in the toilet paper room.

00:33:43.000 And it's a room literally just lined with toilet paper.

00:33:45.000 Yeah, the toilet paper companies are like, Man, this is amazing!

00:33:48.000 We're making so much money!

00:33:49.000 And then, like, for the next two years, they're just gonna be like, why isn't anyone wiping their butts anymore?

00:33:55.000 Here's what I imagine, right?

00:33:56.000 Imagine this.

00:33:57.000 There's, like, an executive's room, like, an executive office, and, like, a top of a skyscraper, and there's, like, a big fat guy with, like, a double chin and a cigar, and, like, he's sitting around with a bunch of toilet paper executives, and he pulls out a roll, and he wads it up and lights it, and then they use it to light their cigars while laughing.

00:34:12.000 Like a dollar bill.

00:34:13.000 Sorry, bro.

00:34:13.000 Like a dollar bill.

00:34:14.000 Yeah, like instead of burning hundreds, they're literally burning the toilet paper.

00:34:18.000 There we go.

00:34:19.000 John McCloud says, had a bad day, so happy for the daily dose of beanie.

00:34:22.000 Sorry, bro.

00:34:23.000 Well, I've got news for everyone.

00:34:24.000 I hope you feel better.

00:34:25.000 These shirts have existed for a long time, but I put the link in the description below.

00:34:28.000 You can actually get a t-shirt with a beanie on it.

00:34:30.000 It is literally a beanie t-shirt.

00:34:32.000 Yeah, I need one of those.

00:34:32.000 We need actual beanies.

00:34:34.000 But, you know, you can get it and it's this one.

00:34:36.000 Among other things.

00:34:37.000 It's not easy to find good beanies.

00:34:39.000 We have an awesome picture of Emily's cat looking like it's seen the face of God.

00:34:46.000 And I love that picture.

00:34:47.000 You can buy that too.

00:34:48.000 That cat is creepy.

00:34:49.000 She's weird.

00:34:51.000 She is, dude.

00:34:51.000 I've met that cat.

00:34:52.000 I mean, it's creepy.

00:34:53.000 She's a creepy cat.

00:34:54.000 She spies on you?

00:34:55.000 Yeah.

00:34:56.000 Oh, she's such a little... Like a ghost.

00:34:57.000 Oh, man.

00:34:58.000 Right.

00:34:58.000 Like, it's the weirdest thing.

00:34:59.000 I'll be walking upstairs, and there'll be, like, someone in the guest room, and she'll be, like, just, like, around the corner, peeking her head out, staring at them while they sleep.

00:35:06.000 Yeah.

00:35:07.000 Oh, yeah.

00:35:07.000 It's always while I'm sleeping.

00:35:07.000 That happened to you, right?

00:35:08.000 Yes, it happened to me.

00:35:10.000 I woke up, and she was like, what's up?

00:35:12.000 And I was like, oh, my gosh.

00:35:14.000 And it's not cute.

00:35:15.000 No, it's horrifying.

00:35:17.000 It's like a creepy person standing next to your bed while you're sleeping and you wake up and they're like, hi.

00:35:22.000 What are you doing?

00:35:24.000 No.

00:35:24.000 Please don't kill me.

00:35:25.000 Normally it's like you wake up and the cat walks in and meows and you're like, aw.

00:35:28.000 But not this one.

00:35:29.000 She's got like a weird face.

00:35:31.000 Yeah.

00:35:32.000 Emily's gonna get mad.

00:35:33.000 Stop making fun of my cat.

00:35:34.000 No.

00:35:35.000 Never.

00:35:35.000 She's a good girl.

00:35:38.000 Nice try.

00:35:39.000 Sydney, Sydney, thanks for coming to member.

00:35:42.000 Glenn says, shout out for my GF Jillian who loves your work.

00:35:49.000 What does it say?

00:35:49.000 Eru. Leheto. 5.7 earthquake in Utah this morning. Yeah.

00:35:53.000 Biggest since 92. Yeah.

00:35:55.000 Bad timing for everything.

00:35:57.000 Right, for real.

00:35:57.000 It's the end of the world, man.

00:35:58.000 I don't know.

00:35:59.000 I feel fine.

00:36:00.000 Yeah, I do too.

00:36:02.000 Trumpelstiltskin says, Lao Wai was live earlier.

00:36:09.000 Great show, guys.

00:36:10.000 Appreciate it.

00:36:11.000 Thank you.

00:36:12.000 We should.

00:36:12.000 Let's hit them up.

00:36:13.000 Let's bring some guests.

00:36:14.000 We made this guest spot.

00:36:16.000 Yeah, other people can sit there.

00:36:18.000 Marcelo says, enjoying social distancing in South Germany, Bavaria, prepared thanks to this channel.

00:36:25.000 Yes!

00:36:25.000 Because we have repeatedly said, buy your supplies.

00:36:30.000 No, we haven't ranted about buying your gold.

00:36:33.000 Or your supplements.

00:36:35.000 We just said you should have some food.

00:36:37.000 And apparently some people went out and bought 800 rolls of toilet paper.

00:36:41.000 We did not say to do that.

00:36:43.000 Yeah, we didn't say that.

00:36:43.000 Guys, don't do that.

00:36:44.000 I have a simulation theory that I think plays right into all of this.

00:36:49.000 Oh yeah?

00:36:49.000 Yeah.

00:36:50.000 Toilet paper.

00:36:51.000 So we've talked about simulation theory.

00:36:52.000 A little bit.

00:36:53.000 I don't think we've talked about this.

00:36:54.000 Maybe not on the show.

00:36:56.000 Let me give you my thoughts on simulation and why I think what we're witnessing now is perfect evidence of one of my theories.

00:37:05.000 So, there's three parent possibilities I see if we're in a simulation.

00:37:12.000 The first is that you are the only conscious entity and everyone around you is a drone, an NPC, meant to facilitate your existence.

00:37:25.000 And you, as the only conscious entity, are what the simulation is trying to accomplish, whatever that is.

00:37:31.000 So the saying goes, I think, therefore I am.

00:37:34.000 Not, we think, therefore we are.

00:37:36.000 So I have no idea if you're thinking.

00:37:38.000 I know I am.

00:37:39.000 I'm pretty sure I am.

00:37:40.000 Well, you can tell me that, but how am I supposed to know?

00:37:41.000 Wait, let me check.

00:37:42.000 Yes.

00:37:43.000 How am I supposed to know?

00:37:44.000 I'm still thinking.

00:37:44.000 Can't prove it.

00:37:45.000 But you trust me.

00:37:46.000 No.

00:37:47.000 No.

00:37:47.000 No, you don't trust me?

00:37:48.000 It's also like, how would you know... Dang, man!

00:37:50.000 I thought we were friends!

00:37:51.000 About being sentient?

00:37:53.000 And thinking?

00:37:53.000 Yeah!

00:37:54.000 I'll never know, man!

00:37:54.000 Maybe he's a robot.

00:37:56.000 I'm telling you, I am!

00:37:57.000 I'm mostly, you know, of course I assume... I have a tattoo on my arm!

00:38:00.000 I am!

00:38:01.000 See?

00:38:01.000 I will say, most people are thinking.

00:38:04.000 But so here's the point, right?

00:38:06.000 How do you know if an android said, like, I'm alive?

00:38:10.000 How would you know?

00:38:10.000 I am sentient.

00:38:12.000 Because my stupid Amazon device tells me things, and it's like, you're not a thing.

00:38:16.000 It's just voice activated.

00:38:18.000 True.

00:38:19.000 But where's that line, right?

00:38:20.000 So basically, that's the first idea.

00:38:23.000 The second is that...

00:38:25.000 Some people are sentient and thinking, and many others aren't.

00:38:30.000 And that's the MMO simulation theory that I like to toy around with.

00:38:34.000 The idea that some percentage of human beings are conscious and cognitive and paying attention, and literally the rest are NPCs.

00:38:43.000 It's kind of like the NPC meme.

00:38:45.000 You're familiar with that meme?

00:38:46.000 No.

00:38:47.000 That basically some people aren't thinking at all, and they just repeat things like mindless drones.

00:38:53.000 It does seem to happen.

00:38:54.000 Right, like if you can't think critically, then there's a difference.

00:39:01.000 You wanna know something really crazy?

00:39:03.000 There was a study done that found something like, I don't know what the number was, it was some high number of percentage of people don't have an inner monologue.

00:39:10.000 Dude, I was thinking about that when I was washing my hands earlier.

00:39:12.000 I read about that.

00:39:13.000 That's crazy.

00:39:14.000 I was like, how does that happen?

00:39:16.000 Well, here's the thing though.

00:39:18.000 It's like three different things as far as I'm concerned because some people don't have any voices in their head.

00:39:23.000 Like that's what I was reading the article.

00:39:24.000 Right, exactly.

00:39:25.000 But then what I think what an inner monologue is like reading, like now I'm talking into a microphone and now I'm picking up my phone and I'm not typing on my phone.

00:39:35.000 But they can't even hear their own voice in their head.

00:39:37.000 That was my understanding.

00:39:39.000 It's like talking to yourself.

00:39:41.000 Not even hearing your voice, but like... Being able to talk to yourself in your head.

00:39:45.000 Thinking in your head about what you're doing.

00:39:47.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:39:49.000 That blows me away.

00:39:50.000 I was like, where do ideas come from if you're not thinking through things with your words?

00:39:54.000 Do they just see pictures?

00:39:58.000 I don't know.

00:39:59.000 I do not know.

00:40:00.000 I want to talk to these people.

00:40:01.000 So, we're going to come back to this one.

00:40:02.000 Yeah, we should actually bring this up.

00:40:04.000 No, no, no.

00:40:05.000 We're going to keep talking.

00:40:05.000 I'm just going to say my third point was that the third parent idea in the simulation is that everyone is conscious.

00:40:11.000 It's silly to think just because someone's smarter than someone else that they're not, you know, sentient or whatever.

00:40:17.000 But that's, you know, so you have you are the only person.

00:40:20.000 Everyone's a drone.

00:40:22.000 I don't think that makes sense because I've met people smarter than me.

00:40:24.000 A lot of people.

00:40:25.000 And then the last one, you know, everyone is active, you know, everyone is a conscious entity, a player in this MMO.

00:40:30.000 Yeah.

00:40:30.000 I also don't believe, because I've met people who are just, like, the innkeeper in an RPG.

00:40:35.000 Like, I kid you not, man.

00:40:37.000 So I used to do fundraising for non-profits.

00:40:40.000 And I got to a point where I would tell people I was training, like, there are, like, seven distinct responses you will get from every single person.

00:40:48.000 It is entirely predictable.

00:40:50.000 It was freaky predictable.

00:40:52.000 You would wave to somebody and say, you know, hi, how are you going?

00:40:55.000 Would you like to, you know, help the environment or whatever?

00:40:58.000 And I could predict exactly, you know, like seven generic responses or reactions.

00:41:04.000 It was entirely predictable.

00:41:06.000 And then sometimes, you know, 20% of the time, someone would say or do something I didn't expect.

00:41:11.000 Which is interesting because- They're real players.

00:41:13.000 Exactly.

00:41:14.000 Yeah.

00:41:14.000 So I was reading something from, it was like a scientist said this a long time ago, you guys can Google this, he said that humans are very much like electrons, 80% of the time they're predictable.

00:41:24.000 20% of the time, it's spontaneous.

00:41:26.000 And so that's why, I'm not saying I definitively believe or have faith in simulation or anything like that, but the toilet paper people.

00:41:35.000 The toilet paper people.

00:41:36.000 The toilet paper people make me really believe that if this is a simulation, it's actually more like an MMORPG.

00:41:44.000 And there's some code that went wrong?

00:41:47.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:41:48.000 That forced a bunch of NPCs to go get toilet paper instead of food?

00:41:52.000 No, it's because they're not... They're not... They're not thinking.

00:41:56.000 Yeah, it's like when someone pressed go and a bunch of random things are bouncing around a room randomly.

00:42:01.000 No, for real, because it literally... It would take five seconds to think about what you would need from a store and toilet paper is not... It is not even in the top ten.

00:42:09.000 Right.

00:42:09.000 No.

00:42:09.000 It's really not.

00:42:10.000 Yeah, it's... Like imagine if they were like running into an Ace Hardware or like a Lowe's to get street cones.

00:42:17.000 You'd be like, I'm very confused as to why you were all... Why are you doing this?

00:42:20.000 Yeah.

00:42:20.000 And so what I think it is, I think it's a cascade effect.

00:42:22.000 Okay.

00:42:23.000 I mean, toilet paper makes a lot more sense than street cones, though.

00:42:26.000 It's a little arbitrary.

00:42:27.000 I know everybody uses toilet paper.

00:42:27.000 Yeah.

00:42:29.000 But why does, why does, you know, do you see that video of the old ladies fighting over

00:42:33.000 toilet paper?

00:42:34.000 Yeah.

00:42:35.000 The lady's got five packs in her cart.

00:42:37.000 I know.

00:42:38.000 And the other lady's like, I just want one.

00:42:38.000 Why?

00:42:40.000 I just want one.

00:42:41.000 And they're fighting over it.

00:42:42.000 And she's like, no, no.

00:42:43.000 And there's another video where people are in Australia.

00:42:43.000 Yup.

00:42:47.000 Like someone had a cart full of it.

00:42:50.000 What are you even thinking?

00:42:52.000 I'm sorry.

00:42:53.000 I don't think you are.

00:42:53.000 Why is it so important now?

00:42:55.000 It's like somebody dropped this idea into the hive mind and everyone's like, toilet paper.

00:43:00.000 That's why I'm saying NPCs, man.

00:43:01.000 I think you're right.

00:43:03.000 So, funny story, I was telling this, I've had these, I have a bunch of things I consider silly ideas and fun, you know, thought experiments and whatever you want to call it.

00:43:12.000 Yeah.

00:43:13.000 About 10, 13 years ago, I was in Chicago, and I was talking to a friend about this, and I said, basically what I said just now, like, there's, you know, it could be a single player game like Skyrim, it could be an MMO like World of Warcraft, where you have NPCs and you have players, or it could be just the real world, it's regular and, you know, everyone's alive.

00:43:32.000 And he was like, you sound crazy.

00:43:35.000 This is ridiculous.

00:43:36.000 And it's funny.

00:43:36.000 Cause I'm like, I'm like, you smoke pot all the time.

00:43:39.000 I'd imagine that you'd be into these kinds of ideas to like sit around,

00:43:41.000 talk about crazy stuff like that.

00:43:42.000 But now, but we were outside of a dorm in Chicago and I was like, no, no, no,

00:43:46.000 no, I'll prove it to you.

00:43:47.000 Watch.

00:43:47.000 And a guy was walking by and I was like, Hey dude, Hey, you guys saying, Hey,

00:43:51.000 are you sentient?

00:43:52.000 And he goes, no.

00:43:55.000 And then we all started laughing.

00:43:56.000 I was like, what?

00:43:58.000 And then he just walked away.

00:43:59.000 What the heck?

00:44:02.000 Do you know what it means?

00:44:06.000 Probably not.

00:44:07.000 I guess not.

00:44:11.000 But I started laughing, and I was like, that wasn't actually supposed to happen.

00:44:15.000 That was supposed to be a joke.

00:44:16.000 Way out of left field.

00:44:16.000 The guy was supposed to be like, yes, of course.

00:44:20.000 That's funny.

00:44:21.000 You caught him off guard.

00:44:22.000 He said no.

00:44:23.000 Yeah.

00:44:24.000 But here's what I started thinking.

00:44:25.000 I'm like, man.

00:44:26.000 I used to be.

00:44:26.000 No, only on the weekends.

00:44:29.000 It's just unfair of me because I assume that he knows what sentient means.

00:44:33.000 Yeah, maybe.

00:44:33.000 But what's weird about it is, dude, I'm a high school dropout from the south side of Chicago.

00:44:39.000 I am not ivory tower educated silver spoon in any capacity.

00:44:43.000 I am not upper crust.

00:44:45.000 I grew up as gutter trash.

00:44:47.000 That's a huge thing.

00:44:48.000 what sentient means and I understand like not everybody knows these things

00:44:50.000 but it was weird to me that at a college well you also taught yourself how to

00:44:55.000 learn I guess that's a that's not a huge thing but learning how to learn but

00:45:00.000 here's what I'm saying yeah of all of the places outside of a college dorm

00:45:05.000 where these kids are supposed to be in higher learning For someone not to know what the word sentient means was weird to me.

00:45:09.000 I can understand if, you know, you're a tradesman and you spend your days, you know, you're not being, you're not reading science books and being exposed to a lot of these, you know, things like that.

00:45:19.000 Yeah, working a tough job, you go home and you just pass out.

00:45:22.000 But then, I think it's fair to say that, you know, my view on college is that they're NPCs.

00:45:28.000 Because think about the kind of person that would be attracted to going to a college for the most part.

00:45:33.000 Not everybody.

00:45:33.000 Just tell me what to think.

00:45:34.000 Exactly.

00:45:35.000 Tell me what to do.

00:45:36.000 Tell me what I need to do.

00:45:37.000 Tim really likes thinking.

00:45:39.000 He likes thinking.

00:45:40.000 He comes up with these ideas on his own.

00:45:42.000 I also don't like being told what to do.

00:45:44.000 Exactly.

00:45:45.000 I don't either.

00:45:46.000 I don't like it.

00:45:46.000 What's the fun in that?

00:45:48.000 Don't tell me what to do.

00:45:49.000 Don't tell me what to do.

00:45:49.000 I won't tell you what to do.

00:45:51.000 Don't tell me what to do.

00:45:52.000 We've talked about this too, like what real authority and leadership is based on how we used to play video games.

00:45:57.000 So like when it comes to the example I was gave is the division. Yeah, when when we would be playing with our

00:46:04.000 friends The person in charge was just the person who took charge

00:46:07.000 Exactly, yeah.

00:46:08.000 So you'd be like, hey guys, I wanna do this run, so I'll tell you what to do.

00:46:11.000 And we're like, you got it.

00:46:12.000 No, I don't care.

00:46:13.000 I got, there's no ego, there's no beef, there's like, I don't know, there's just weird- Great, yeah, somebody needs to be in charge.

00:46:16.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:46:17.000 And then if we were playing and your plan or my plan wasn't working, then someone else would be like, here, let me try something.

00:46:22.000 We'd be like, okay.

00:46:23.000 Sweet, yeah, absolutely.

00:46:23.000 Like, it's just, it's like- Cool, let's try that.

00:46:25.000 Leadership is, yeah, so whatever it is, my experience, you know, especially with colleges, They're people who are just walking mindlessly into a room and then just don't even think about it.

00:46:37.000 Which brings me back to the toilet paper people.

00:46:39.000 That's exactly what they're doing.

00:46:40.000 Now, the toilet paper people aren't college graduates for the most part, I'd assume.

00:46:43.000 I don't know.

00:46:44.000 Not that it really matters.

00:46:45.000 I would be curious to know.

00:46:47.000 But this is, I gotta admit, kinda freaks me out.

00:46:52.000 Where do we go wrong where someone can't be like, There's a virus.

00:46:57.000 I should not stand in a large crowd of people.

00:47:00.000 I should not wrestle with people in the shopping aisles.

00:47:03.000 Or like a Mexican president that shouldn't go out and kiss people's cheeks.

00:47:09.000 I guess, you know, if you're a man of the people, you'd do it.

00:47:13.000 But...

00:47:14.000 That was a fun derailment into an unrelated topic.

00:47:17.000 Oh wait, are we doing super chats right now?

00:47:19.000 We are still taking comments.

00:47:20.000 We took a little break.

00:47:21.000 We should dive back in there.

00:47:22.000 No, but it was fun.

00:47:25.000 You think those ideas are crazy?

00:47:26.000 Man, I should write a book on all the crazy things.

00:47:29.000 So my friends used to be like... So I wear contacts all the time, right?

00:47:32.000 There was a period where me being an unemployed skateboarder, I had the same pair of contacts for like eight months.

00:47:40.000 I did that.

00:47:40.000 I used to do that.

00:47:41.000 And what happens is the oxygen permeation gets really bad and your eyes start getting bloodshot.

00:47:46.000 And so people would always be like, this dude's so stoned.

00:47:48.000 And I'd be like, I'm not stoned!

00:47:50.000 I don't smoke!

00:47:51.000 Stop it!

00:47:52.000 Until it leads to pink eye and then you're down for the count for a while.

00:47:56.000 No, it causes capillaries in your eyes to grow over the lens.

00:47:59.000 Oh no!

00:47:59.000 Yeah, because your eyes need air.

00:48:01.000 Yeah, you really do.

00:48:02.000 Yeah, so don't do that.

00:48:03.000 Don't reuse contacts.

00:48:04.000 Don't do that.

00:48:05.000 Everyone just thought you were high.

00:48:06.000 Awesome.

00:48:07.000 Yeah, they always thought I was stoned.

00:48:08.000 I enjoyed hanging out with my friends when they were stoned because they'd finally talk about this stuff.

00:48:12.000 I'm pretty sure everyone here knows who the stoner in the room is.

00:48:15.000 Is it you?

00:48:16.000 I don't know.

00:48:17.000 It's not Tim.

00:48:18.000 Soy Jesus?

00:48:19.000 The hippie vegan pot smoker.

00:48:22.000 Dude, but we had some really cool- No comment.

00:48:24.000 Dude, it was always fun hanging out with the Podheads because we'd end up talking about quantum physics and space time.

00:48:30.000 Yeah, cool stuff.

00:48:31.000 And that's how a lot of the ideas have come up with like ghosts.

00:48:34.000 Like we talked about the ghost thing.

00:48:36.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:48:37.000 Yeah, just hang out with people who are like, right, it's fun stuff.

00:48:39.000 It's really fun.

00:48:40.000 Free.

00:48:40.000 But let's get back to the Super Chats because we're lagging behind and we got some more news to go through.

00:48:44.000 Yeah.

00:48:45.000 We got some fun news about, we gotta talk about the billionaire guy.

00:48:47.000 Yes, that's crazy.

00:48:49.000 But Marvel.

00:48:50.000 Get woke, go broke.

00:48:51.000 Oh my gosh.

00:48:52.000 The Woke Twins.

00:48:53.000 This is gonna be great.

00:48:54.000 You're gonna love it.

00:48:54.000 Let's read some superchats though.

00:48:57.000 Alright, I will admit though, we're getting slammed by superchats because admittedly, somehow our podcast is becoming very popular.

00:49:04.000 Oh man, the comments are crazy funny.

00:49:06.000 You guys are so great.

00:49:08.000 I love reading your comments.

00:49:09.000 I do too.

00:49:09.000 We have a chill audience and I love it.

00:49:12.000 But we have 11,000 people?

00:49:14.000 I am in shock.

00:49:15.000 That's the highest number we've ever had.

00:49:17.000 Thank you.

00:49:18.000 Thanks everyone.

00:49:18.000 You guys are here.

00:49:20.000 And I appreciate it.

00:49:22.000 Let's read these chats.

00:49:23.000 Hawkticus says, Wisconsin just had 200 people get exposed by one doctor who was unaware they had it at a children's hospital.

00:49:30.000 Thankfully, no at-risk kids have it.

00:49:33.000 Man Sam says, Tim, please get rid of the annoying Antifa guy that sits next to you.

00:49:38.000 Well, you can't win them all, Adam.

00:49:40.000 I'm not trying to.

00:49:41.000 Antifa guy.

00:49:43.000 Stephen A says, Simon just ordered all of their malls closed as of 7pm tonight.

00:49:47.000 Wow!

00:49:48.000 Oh wow.

00:49:48.000 And we haven't gone out anyway.

00:49:50.000 It's because, you know, we've been doing the show, so we became homebodies over the past few months.

00:49:53.000 This has not really affected us in that regard.

00:49:55.000 Mall owners were prepping for this for years anyway.

00:49:58.000 Yeah.

00:49:58.000 Malls are closing.

00:50:00.000 Yep.

00:50:00.000 Wow.

00:50:01.000 What a surprise.

00:50:01.000 Alex says, Hey Tim and crew, just wanted to say thanks for giving me and my household a heads up on this craziness.

00:50:06.000 We are prepped and ready thanks to you guys.

00:50:08.000 Awesome.

00:50:08.000 And we just talk about stuff.

00:50:10.000 Derek says, Khan Academy has new vid on COVID-19.

00:50:13.000 The TLDR for every new death, there's somewhere in the ballpark of 1,600 new cases.

00:50:18.000 Wow.

00:50:19.000 King of Sharks, thanks for the super chat.

00:50:21.000 Bart, thanks for the super chat.

00:50:22.000 DatSimpleNope says, looks like the city that never sleeps took a nap.

00:50:26.000 Yeah, wow.

00:50:28.000 New York is a ghost town, dude.

00:50:30.000 If you ever wanted to do a short film about the apocalypse, Now's your chance to go out into Manhattan and do it.

00:50:30.000 I know, yeah.

00:50:37.000 I'm half-kidding, by the way.

00:50:39.000 Half-kidding.

00:50:39.000 You probably don't want to go out right now.

00:50:41.000 It's true, but don't do it.

00:50:43.000 Right?

00:50:43.000 Covering our butts.

00:50:45.000 Eli says, at my work, we received letters for out-of-work vehicles from Homeland Security stating that we are allowed to be on the road and allowed to get fuel at the gas station.

00:50:53.000 This is from Indiana.

00:50:56.000 Man, I think, dude, we're, what, a week away from where France is?

00:50:56.000 Dang.

00:50:59.000 Yeah.

00:51:00.000 You need a letter to leave your home?

00:51:01.000 Yeah.

00:51:02.000 Everybody get your letter.

00:51:03.000 That's getting scary.

00:51:05.000 We'll see, we'll see, we'll see.

00:51:07.000 Tord says, Corona have summoned the five horsemen of the apocalypse.

00:51:10.000 Pestilence, war, famine, death, and boredom.

00:51:13.000 What?

00:51:13.000 I mean, I'm not really bored.

00:51:15.000 Learn how to play Magic.

00:51:16.000 Yeah, play board games, play video games, and we were skating earlier.

00:51:21.000 I got no time for anything.

00:51:22.000 It's like, I got like an hour to skate, then eat, and then get ready for the show.

00:51:25.000 So, you know, I'm busy.

00:51:28.000 Dakota Dad says, Six cases here in North Dakota are first cases today.

00:51:32.000 One lady hasn't left her house, traveled out of state, or country.

00:51:35.000 They don't know how she got it.

00:51:37.000 What?

00:51:38.000 You know what it is?

00:51:39.000 It's because we're in an MMO.

00:51:41.000 No deliveries?

00:51:42.000 Yeah, maybe deliveries.

00:51:43.000 This woman never got a delivery of any sort?

00:51:45.000 No, you know, Milk, she went to the store.

00:51:48.000 Did she go to the store?

00:51:49.000 What did they say?

00:51:50.000 She hasn't left her house or traveled out of the state or country.

00:51:53.000 Did she get any deliveries at all?

00:51:53.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:51:55.000 That might have.

00:51:56.000 Maybe, maybe.

00:51:56.000 That's my first instinct.

00:51:57.000 But I have a better explanation.

00:51:58.000 What is it?

00:51:59.000 The person playing the game.

00:51:59.000 The virus crossed the wall.

00:52:01.000 The person playing the video game tapped her house and put like, you know, boop, boop, boop.

00:52:05.000 I wanted to boop also.

00:52:07.000 I wanted to boop also.

00:52:07.000 It felt good.

00:52:09.000 Sword logic.

00:52:10.000 Much love from Canada.

00:52:11.000 You guys have helped my household keep a cool head with the commentary, and we're prepared thanks to your advice.

00:52:15.000 P.S.

00:52:16.000 Soy Jesus used to annoy me, but turns out he's pretty cool.

00:52:19.000 Turns out you can win them all!

00:52:21.000 I do come off different.

00:52:24.000 A lot of people say that about me.

00:52:25.000 At first I didn't know about you, but you're cool.

00:52:28.000 Why is Soy Jesus sticking?

00:52:30.000 My buddies call me the honest a-hole because I'm so brash.

00:52:37.000 I speak my mind and I appreciate when others speak their mind.

00:52:41.000 I want to know the truth.

00:52:43.000 Thank you though, I really appreciate that.

00:52:45.000 Brandon says, putting together my bug-out bag for the outbreak.

00:52:47.000 If it gets really bad, I'm heading for the mountains.

00:52:50.000 Me too.

00:52:50.000 Great point.

00:52:50.000 Dude, Salt Lake is so beautiful.

00:52:52.000 It was trending earlier for some reason.

00:52:53.000 Probably something bad.

00:52:55.000 Yeah, that's because of the earthquake.

00:52:57.000 But I've been through there a couple times.

00:52:59.000 Talk about beautiful, man.

00:53:00.000 Mountains all around.

00:53:02.000 Nestled in this valley.

00:53:04.000 He owns the whole valley.

00:53:06.000 That's where I'm going.

00:53:07.000 Well, so here's my advice to all of you.

00:53:09.000 If you're looking to bug out, the first thing you need to do is make sure that you have a full... your 35 to 40 gallon gas tank for your conversion van is filled.

00:53:19.000 And make sure the shower and the solar panels are all working.

00:53:22.000 It's gonna be very important.

00:53:23.000 Now, when you're setting up your PlayStation in your van... I'm kidding, by the way.

00:53:27.000 He's not kidding.

00:53:28.000 There is a PlayStation in his van.

00:53:30.000 No, but the joke is that like most people would never be able to pull this off.

00:53:33.000 They're gonna be running across the bridge full speed with their kids in their hands, you know?

00:53:38.000 Okay, let's see.

00:53:39.000 Chaos says, World Health Organization is corrupted by China.

00:53:43.000 Of course they will be lying about China's situation.

00:53:46.000 Hey, when the money's good, man.

00:53:48.000 Extreme says, say the line, Tim.

00:53:49.000 It's complicated.

00:53:50.000 It's complicated.

00:53:52.000 It's the line from Iron Man 3.

00:53:53.000 Oh, is that what it's from?

00:53:54.000 Yeah, when they're like, tell us what's happening.

00:53:57.000 He's like, hey, hey, it's complicated.

00:53:59.000 It's complicated.

00:54:00.000 I've only seen that movie once.

00:54:01.000 Is it good?

00:54:02.000 I love Iron Man 3.

00:54:03.000 I don't remember it.

00:54:04.000 It's the one where, uh... I just remember there's so many of them.

00:54:07.000 It's the Extremis one, where the people can regenerate their limbs and, like, it gets really hot and they're glowing.

00:54:12.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:54:13.000 Dude, I love that one.

00:54:13.000 I gotta watch that again.

00:54:14.000 My favorite part is when War Machine, they're heating up the War Machine armor, and he goes, alright, let's do this, and he just jumps out and then, boom, right in the guy's face.

00:54:22.000 That scene is awesome, but then he gets beat up because the guy breathes fire, and then he's like, whoa, and then he gets punched in the face.

00:54:27.000 But it's still cool when he jumps out and he's like, yeah!

00:54:29.000 Don Cheadle punches him in the face.

00:54:31.000 Even though Don Cheadle's like kind of a... All these people are kind of weird off, like out of the movies.

00:54:31.000 Nice.

00:54:35.000 I don't know anything about him.

00:54:36.000 Like, they just tweet weird things.

00:54:40.000 Like... I gotta start following more people.

00:54:41.000 Loose cannons, yeah.

00:54:42.000 Loose cannons?

00:54:43.000 Yeah, like Marf Ruffalo.

00:54:43.000 Yeah, a little bit.

00:54:45.000 Marf Ruffalo.

00:54:47.000 Chris Evans has actually gotten better.

00:54:48.000 He actually, like, listened to me.

00:54:50.000 Yeah, he went and met with a bunch of Republicans and stuff and decided to have conversations.

00:54:53.000 I have a lot of respect for that.

00:54:54.000 Some of these people go on Twitter, man, and I'm like, what are you saying?

00:54:58.000 Yeah, this Twitter land.

00:55:00.000 It's a funny place.

00:55:01.000 Well, you know what it is?

00:55:02.000 We didn't used to get access to everyone's shower thoughts.

00:55:05.000 That's really what it is.

00:55:06.000 That's it.

00:55:07.000 I had someone ask me, you know, how is it you've got so many followers on Twitter?

00:55:10.000 Shower thoughts.

00:55:11.000 And I'm like, because I like... Crapper thoughts.

00:55:13.000 I have a shower thought.

00:55:14.000 I'll pull up my phone and go like, man, what's up with this?

00:55:17.000 And then I turn it off and I don't look at it.

00:55:19.000 And it's just my random thoughts that I'm like, there you go, everybody.

00:55:22.000 Now you know what I'm thinking.

00:55:23.000 Cough them out into the universe.

00:55:24.000 Cough them out into the universe.

00:55:25.000 Yeah, I don't look at notifications.

00:55:28.000 I just ignore mentions.

00:55:29.000 People tweet at me all the time.

00:55:30.000 I'm like, I don't care, dude.

00:55:31.000 I don't know what you're talking about.

00:55:33.000 Brent says, y'all ever consider the possibility that China was developing the Wuhan coronavirus as a bioweapon and it just got released early by accident?

00:55:41.000 I don't think so.

00:55:43.000 I mean, sure, it's a possibility.

00:55:43.000 I don't.

00:55:45.000 Yeah, but Occam's razor.

00:55:47.000 Stupidity over maliciousness.

00:55:49.000 Yeah, and so what was actually released and very likely against the wishes of China was that somebody had been doing research on bat coronaviruses and bats bit him and then peed on him.

00:56:01.000 quarantined and then whoop here we are.

00:56:01.000 Who knows.

00:56:01.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:56:03.000 I think that and that was from South China University.

00:56:06.000 So I'm not saying I trust the Chinese Chinese government.

00:56:09.000 So who knows.

00:56:11.000 But who knows.

00:56:13.000 I mean it's it wreaked havoc in their country.

00:56:14.000 Yeah. You know it wrought havoc.

00:56:16.000 Yes.

00:56:18.000 Brandon Beck says coming at you from Utah we said a five point

00:56:20.000 seven earthquake at Salt Lake City.

00:56:23.000 In your opinion, can that affect how we combat coronavirus if it happens in a more populated city?

00:56:28.000 I mean, yeah, depending on the damage, if roads break, honestly.

00:56:31.000 I am not a seismologist or an emergency preparedness expert, so my comments only go so far.

00:56:38.000 HyperConservative says, do you think the Wim Hof breathing method would be effective in boosting your immune system against COVID-19?

00:56:45.000 I have no idea what that is.

00:56:45.000 What is that?

00:56:46.000 Is that the ice?

00:56:47.000 Yeah.

00:56:47.000 Learning how to ice guy.

00:56:48.000 Yeah.

00:56:49.000 Dunking yourself in ice to, it basically super charges your immune system.

00:56:49.000 Cool.

00:56:55.000 You know how we- I don't know too much about it, but my cousin's doing it right now.

00:56:57.000 He's like- Oh, cool, yeah.

00:56:58.000 He's like an ice bear now.

00:56:59.000 Oh, cool.

00:57:00.000 It's crazy.

00:57:01.000 You know we have that running oxygen I was talking about?

00:57:03.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:57:04.000 I wonder if that's sold out.

00:57:05.000 Like if people went nuts and started buying up oxygen.

00:57:07.000 I'm going to say no, because that seems like something you have to be kind of technical

00:57:11.000 to consider buying.

00:57:12.000 Yeah.

00:57:13.000 So the average person just says, like, screams toilet paper.

00:57:15.000 And probably like sleep apnea machines are sold out.

00:57:18.000 I would have, even though it doesn't work, as we learned.

00:57:21.000 Right, it doesn't give you more.

00:57:22.000 It just continues.

00:57:24.000 I'd imagine people would buy milk, bread, and eggs, but no.

00:57:27.000 Yeah, toilet paper.

00:57:27.000 Toilet paper?

00:57:28.000 And toilet paper.

00:57:29.000 And fill it up with toilet paper.

00:57:32.000 Yep, just fill it up!

00:57:32.000 Hand sanitizer.

00:57:33.000 It's a bullshit too, I don't get it.

00:57:37.000 Let's read some more.

00:57:37.000 So let's read some more.

00:57:38.000 Swampy says, either virus way worse or Agenda 21 search event 201.

00:57:45.000 It's a pandemic exercise last October.

00:57:47.000 Bill Gates ID 2020, government takeover, civil unrest will happen, martial law will happen.

00:57:53.000 FEMA has been dispatched, stay safe.

00:57:56.000 You know what, man?

00:57:59.000 I used to be a hard skeptic when you'd hear Alex Jones being like, I'm telling you the FEMA camps,

00:58:05.000 and I'd be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:58:07.000 Optimism bias, whatever you want to call it.

00:58:09.000 It's really hard to be a skeptic right now when we're literally in the midst of one of the craziest catastrophes I've ever experienced.

00:58:16.000 Like the market dropped over 10,000 points.

00:58:18.000 I know, that's insane.

00:58:19.000 That's a lot.

00:58:21.000 It's now erased all of the gains of the Trump presidency.

00:58:24.000 They're talking like New York's a ghost town.

00:58:27.000 What happens next?

00:58:28.000 And it's going to get worse for the next 45 days?

00:58:31.000 Yeah.

00:58:32.000 So like, if somebody came over and was sitting here and they were like smoking, they're like, so uh... Aliens are real too.

00:58:38.000 I'd be like, huh.

00:58:39.000 Yeah.

00:58:40.000 Well.

00:58:40.000 They might as well drop the bomb, right?

00:58:42.000 Yeah.

00:58:42.000 Everyone's home.

00:58:43.000 Because this is nuts.

00:58:44.000 I mean, it's not the worst.

00:58:45.000 Just give us the aliens.

00:58:47.000 Why not?

00:58:48.000 I'm just saying, like, if someone came to me and said something outrageous, I'd probably be like, man, at this point, I don't even know.

00:58:53.000 You know what I mean?

00:58:54.000 Before I'd be like, get out of here, I don't want to hear this stuff.

00:58:56.000 Now it's like, what is happening, dude?

00:58:58.000 This is crazy.

00:58:59.000 I mean, it's just a disaster.

00:59:00.000 Disasters happen, you know?

00:59:02.000 You know, the thing is, we've avoided this for so long.

00:59:08.000 It was a golden age for decades.

00:59:10.000 Yeah, dude.

00:59:11.000 You know?

00:59:12.000 All good.

00:59:13.000 This too shall pass.

00:59:14.000 Yep.

00:59:15.000 So, I love that saying.

00:59:16.000 You know the story of this too shall pass?

00:59:18.000 Uh, no.

00:59:18.000 It's simple.

00:59:19.000 It was like, a king thought he was, you know, gonna, you know, he told a jeweler, I want you to craft me something that will make me happy when I'm sad and sad when I'm happy.

00:59:29.000 And so, like, I'm probably getting it wrong, but he wrote on a ring, this too shall pass, and so the king could always look at it, and he would know that in his happiest moments this would end at some point and he'd be sad, but in his saddest moments he would realize this too shall pass.

00:59:42.000 Oh, that's good.

00:59:43.000 I love it.

00:59:43.000 That's like my mantra.

00:59:44.000 I've used that for a really long time.

00:59:45.000 I love it.

00:59:46.000 Well, you certainly made me like it a lot more.

00:59:49.000 I dig that.

00:59:50.000 I like it.

00:59:51.000 Mine is, you can't win them all.

00:59:53.000 If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

00:59:56.000 But remember, you can't win them all.

00:59:59.000 I always try my best, but if you beat yourself up when you don't succeed, then you're going to put yourself down too much.

01:00:05.000 You need to realize you're going to lose.

01:00:06.000 And that's when you've got to fight harder and win in the next round.

01:00:11.000 Jim St.

01:00:12.000 Armour says, hey guys, your show is massively entertaining, well thought out, and crucial to our cultural discourse.

01:00:17.000 Keep it up.

01:00:17.000 Thank you.

01:00:18.000 That's so nice.

01:00:18.000 I appreciate it.

01:00:19.000 Because I honestly would just like turn the camera on and start.

01:00:21.000 We're just chilling.

01:00:22.000 Yeah, we're just chilling.

01:00:24.000 This is basically what we've done for years.

01:00:26.000 Right.

01:00:26.000 Just sat and talked about stuff.

01:00:29.000 Yeah, we were watching Orville earlier.

01:00:31.000 That show is amazing.

01:00:32.000 Good show.

01:00:32.000 Yeah, and it's like there's a lot of, like Seth MacFarlane's really nailed it with Orville.

01:00:36.000 And we're talking about the philosophical concepts around, you know, a lot of what's going on in the show, time travel.

01:00:41.000 They did an episode.

01:00:43.000 We just watched it.

01:00:43.000 And I know this is the last season, so this is like, you know, many of you, if you've watched The Orville, you've seen it already.

01:00:48.000 But it's really, really amazing.

01:00:50.000 There's a race called Moklins.

01:00:53.000 Yeah.

01:00:54.000 And they're single gender.

01:00:56.000 So when a baby is born female, they want to surgically transition it to male.

01:01:02.000 Yep.

01:01:02.000 And then they find a planet of females who are smuggling the female babies away.

01:01:07.000 And it was really interesting because It kind of tackled a lot of issues, but not necessarily from any one real perspective.

01:01:15.000 It just kind of addressed the issue of child transition and the morality and legality.

01:01:19.000 And Seth and the union are completely opposed to, you know, surgical transition of babies, which is extreme.

01:01:26.000 I don't think anyone's talking about that for the most part right now.

01:01:28.000 But what was interesting is that I'm surprised he's not getting attacked for this by, you know, by intersectional feminists.

01:01:36.000 They don't watch that show.

01:01:37.000 Right.

01:01:38.000 That's what it is.

01:01:40.000 And he's anti-Trump for the most part.

01:01:42.000 They're like, yeah, he's good.

01:01:43.000 But it's cool how, you know, he's really following in the footsteps of the next generation.

01:01:48.000 Yeah.

01:01:48.000 Asking questions that kind of dance around our current political and social issues.

01:01:52.000 Yeah, it does remind me of that show.

01:01:54.000 I know.

01:01:54.000 It's good.

01:01:54.000 He's doing better with that than they're doing with Star Wars.

01:01:57.000 I think.

01:01:58.000 And Star Trek!

01:01:59.000 Yeah.

01:01:59.000 And Doctor Who!

01:02:01.000 Oh my gosh, yeah.

01:02:02.000 Did you see Discovery?

01:02:03.000 No.

01:02:04.000 I watched some of it and was like, turned it off.

01:02:06.000 I liked it.

01:02:07.000 Orville, I'm like, man, this is awesome.

01:02:09.000 And it's funny, too.

01:02:10.000 Yeah, Discovery, it's not like the Orville.

01:02:13.000 They tried to make it like an epic, like a Game of Thrones drama.

01:02:18.000 That's not Star Trek.

01:02:19.000 Yeah, it's... Star Trek was episodic.

01:02:22.000 Well, it's Star Trek Discovery, you know?

01:02:25.000 Each of the Star Treks were different in their own way.

01:02:27.000 I mean, kind of.

01:02:28.000 I think my favorite one, more than The Next Generation, was Enterprise.

01:02:33.000 Star Trek Enterprise, the first one.

01:02:36.000 In the timeline, it was the first one.

01:02:38.000 But it's just prequel after prequel after prequel.

01:02:41.000 That was good though.

01:02:42.000 The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, I liked Voyager.

01:02:45.000 But Deep Space Nine was really good.

01:02:47.000 Voyager was alright.

01:02:48.000 Yeah, Voyager was okay.

01:02:49.000 I don't know, I like it.

01:02:51.000 I think Janeway was cool.

01:02:52.000 Picard's the best.

01:02:54.000 I liked Janeway a lot.

01:02:55.000 I liked Voyager, I know a lot of people didn't like it for the most part.

01:02:58.000 Let's grab some more of these Super Chats.

01:03:01.000 Han Sammo says, buy Vietnamese.

01:03:04.000 I bought 69 USD worth of dong, and now I am one point... Is that... I don't know if that's real.

01:03:09.000 Is that real?

01:03:10.000 If China collapses, it will be worth more.

01:03:12.000 Let me see what the currency is in Vietnam.

01:03:14.000 No idea.

01:03:15.000 Curious now.

01:03:16.000 Matthew Hammond says, will countries sanction China like they did with Germany after World War I, World War II to pay for the costs involved with coronavirus?

01:03:22.000 That's why they don't want to admit it's their fault.

01:03:25.000 Yep, exactly.

01:03:25.000 That's it.

01:03:27.000 AJ says, I remember seeing an ad 10 to 15 years ago about the Chinese business class laughing about how we were basically paying them to take our country.

01:03:33.000 Yep.

01:03:34.000 Yep.

01:03:36.000 Here we go.

01:03:36.000 Someone called it out.

01:03:37.000 The new Marvel superhero Snowflake in safe space.

01:03:39.000 We're going to talk about it.

01:03:41.000 Oh my gosh.

01:03:41.000 We're going to talk about it.

01:03:44.000 Brian M says, the threat of China is one of the biggest reasons we stay in the Middle East and partner with Saudis.

01:03:50.000 If we don't, then China will push in.

01:03:52.000 China is buying up debt of a lot of countries and trading for land, building outposts.

01:03:57.000 It's real complex over there with Russia.

01:03:58.000 That's scary because it's true.

01:03:59.000 Yeah, it is.

01:04:00.000 And this is the complexities of foreign policy.

01:04:05.000 My biggest thing is anti-war.

01:04:07.000 I'm just really, really opposed to the lengths we go to.

01:04:11.000 The challenge is there's so much we don't know.

01:04:14.000 What I always tell people is I'm willing to bet Trump, Obama, Bush, whoever, they get in office, they're campaigning saying, I'm going to do this.

01:04:21.000 They get in office and the intel guy goes, oh, here you go, and hands them a folder.

01:04:25.000 And they look at it and open it up and go, Whoa.

01:04:29.000 And then everything changes.

01:04:31.000 The office controls the president for the most part.

01:04:33.000 Once they realize the classified information of what's really going on, they're like, yikes, man.

01:04:37.000 Yeah.

01:04:38.000 And then all of a sudden, that's why I've always been like, I just don't even want to vote for anybody, you know, because like, I don't, you know, if, and they can't tell us, because what's being said about China, I mean, and Russia too, with like the Qatar Turkey pipeline stuff.

01:04:51.000 If people knew it was really going on, they'd be freaking out.

01:04:53.000 Yeah, I bet.

01:04:55.000 Hmm says, lazing a target gets tone, which means you are locked onto the object, which means you won't miss unless countermeasures work.

01:05:02.000 So that's basically China.

01:05:04.000 When they lazed our ship, they were like, we could take you out right now if we wanted to.

01:05:08.000 Just so you know, here's this.

01:05:10.000 Yeah, they're locked down.

01:05:10.000 Great.

01:05:11.000 So that's odd.

01:05:11.000 Gerald Borden says, in Huntsville, Alabama, AT&T is leaving open its call center.

01:05:15.000 There are 500-plus people on the call floor, a single open space, all sharing air.

01:05:19.000 This is a call center that only talked people out of canceling.

01:05:23.000 Ugh.

01:05:23.000 Wow.

01:05:24.000 Joseph says, what about Project Pogo and Zephyr?

01:05:26.000 I have no idea.

01:05:28.000 No clue.

01:05:28.000 No idea.

01:05:29.000 Trumple Stiltskin says, China has no combat experience, paper tiger.

01:05:32.000 That could be.

01:05:32.000 Yeah, we'll see.

01:05:34.000 Duke says, considering your tactics, the Astra Militarium needs you, Tim.

01:05:38.000 Also, I'm a local.

01:05:39.000 That safe space store ended up proving your saying true about male feminists.

01:05:44.000 Really?

01:05:44.000 I don't know.

01:05:45.000 So there's a local shop that's got a safe space thing in the window.

01:05:48.000 Oh, the magic store?

01:05:49.000 It's not a magic- I mean, they don't even have cards.

01:05:51.000 Game store?

01:05:52.000 It's so weird.

01:05:52.000 What is it?

01:05:53.000 Yeah, it's a game store, but they don't have any cards.

01:05:55.000 They have board games.

01:05:56.000 It's kind of weird.

01:05:57.000 Okay.

01:05:57.000 Yeah.

01:05:58.000 And it's like, I don't know, man, I did not feel, uh, comfortable because like you put up a, uh, you put up a cult like message like that.

01:06:07.000 I'm not a part of your cult, man.

01:06:09.000 You know what I mean?

01:06:09.000 So when, when you have an ideology that, that talks about safe spaces and they put signs in their window.

01:06:15.000 Nah, I'm not okay with that.

01:06:16.000 Like, because these people are associated with violence and I've gotten threats from them.

01:06:19.000 So that's just me.

01:06:20.000 Yeah.

01:06:20.000 I'm not going to feel comfortable going to a place that associates with that fringe ideology.

01:06:25.000 MineMalek says, considering how big the meme about how we are screwed when Greenland gets infected, I am surprised that no one cares now that it is.

01:06:32.000 Oh, really?

01:06:34.000 Greenland got it?

01:06:35.000 Dude, that means the kid playing Plague Inc.

01:06:37.000 just won.

01:06:38.000 We're in trouble.

01:06:39.000 Yeah, I saw something about Greenland.

01:06:41.000 It said one person has it, which means like 18%.

01:06:44.000 I don't know.

01:06:45.000 It's a huge number because there's only like 100,000 people who live there.

01:06:50.000 Some huge percentage.

01:06:52.000 Greg says, from a Fed, China released this on their population to stop anti-government protests.

01:06:57.000 U.S.

01:06:57.000 has 100% proof.

01:06:58.000 Well, you know, when we see the proof, we'll see the proof.

01:07:00.000 Yeah.

01:07:01.000 Marcel DeFore says, I hope you are all staying safe.

01:07:03.000 I need to load up my Kindle for this isolation phase.

01:07:06.000 Any recommendations?

01:07:08.000 Any good books?

01:07:08.000 Sword of Truth is really good.

01:07:09.000 Wheel of Time?

01:07:10.000 Wheel of Time is really, really good.

01:07:11.000 Do they want fiction?

01:07:13.000 Well, I'm a sci-fi reader.

01:07:16.000 Both of the things I just said are really long.

01:07:18.000 Ten books or plus.

01:07:20.000 Game of Thrones is a fantastic series.

01:07:21.000 I never read Game of Thrones, but I hear it's better than the show.

01:07:27.000 There's a book series that I hear is really, really good.

01:07:30.000 It's mostly fantasy.

01:07:32.000 It's about Harry Potter.

01:07:34.000 Oh, oh, what?

01:07:35.000 Never read it.

01:07:36.000 Harry Potter.

01:07:36.000 I'm waiting for, uh, to have kids.

01:07:38.000 Then I'll read it with them.

01:07:40.000 What's funny is how so many of, like, protest signs are Harry Potter references.

01:07:46.000 And, like, the criticism is like, dude, read a different book.

01:07:49.000 It's like the only books you've read.

01:07:50.000 Dragonlance, actually.

01:07:52.000 It's old school sci-fi books.

01:07:54.000 But my gaming moniker, Riverwind, is from that book.

01:07:58.000 Now everyone knows and they're going to find you on PlayStation.

01:08:01.000 Yeah, find me on PlayStation.

01:08:02.000 Dude, no man.

01:08:04.000 I turn on PlayStation and it's like you have 17,896 messages and it goes like brrring, brrring, brrring and they just don't stop.

01:08:10.000 It's just like I'm playing the game while it's chiming off with all the messages I got.

01:08:14.000 Apparently I did some video where I had my PSN gamer tag and people found it.

01:08:20.000 It's pretty easy to find it.

01:08:21.000 Yeah.

01:08:22.000 And now everyone's friends with me on PlayStation.

01:08:24.000 Oh, yay.

01:08:25.000 Whatever.

01:08:25.000 But you don't play PlayStation.

01:08:26.000 Nah, not so much anymore.

01:08:27.000 Now I just work.

01:08:27.000 I don't know why.

01:08:29.000 But I was.

01:08:30.000 And it was cool, man.

01:08:30.000 I did so much work on this van to get it good to go.

01:08:32.000 Yeah.

01:08:33.000 But then I was like, we did this show instead.

01:08:35.000 Yeah.

01:08:36.000 It was hard to do, man.

01:08:36.000 Worth it.

01:08:37.000 Yeah.

01:08:38.000 Right?

01:08:39.000 Totally.

01:08:40.000 We got some new members.

01:08:41.000 I was talking to them, not you.

01:08:42.000 Oh, yeah, of course.

01:08:43.000 Well, they love you.

01:08:43.000 You're Soy Jesus.

01:08:45.000 Rob and Portisar, thanks for becoming members.

01:08:48.000 Slybreed says, who the hell has been sharing my mod, the 5G, if the cause of- is the cause of COVID-19?

01:08:54.000 5G, huh?

01:08:56.000 Hmm, interesting.

01:08:57.000 Yeah.

01:08:58.000 DM says, they are scared, Tim.

01:08:59.000 That's why they are quiet.

01:09:01.000 Well, I don't know if that's a reference to, because we've been inundated with superchats, so I'm gonna have to speed things up in a second.

01:09:05.000 Atlas Report says, Remember when Mr. Burns is like, I'm invincible, and Dr. Hibbert says, No, actually, the slightest gust of wind could kill- Invincible!

01:09:12.000 And he walks.

01:09:13.000 Yeah.

01:09:14.000 Invincible.

01:09:16.000 But that's what people are doing right now.

01:09:18.000 Like, you've got the coronavirus and they're, like, rushing full speed into the toilet paper section and fighting with each other.

01:09:22.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:09:22.000 Getting their greasy mitts all over each other.

01:09:24.000 I don't care about that at all.

01:09:25.000 Y'all are gonna get sick.

01:09:26.000 Didn't something happen with, like, the Smurfs in France?

01:09:28.000 Yeah, I was telling you.

01:09:29.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:09:30.000 The Smurfs.

01:09:31.000 They deserve it.

01:09:31.000 They were like, we don't care about the coronavirus.

01:09:34.000 What?

01:09:35.000 Miss our chance to be in the Guinness World Book of Records?

01:09:38.000 It's like, are you serious?

01:09:40.000 Sure.

01:09:41.000 Well, you know.

01:09:41.000 You got it.

01:09:42.000 Good job.

01:09:43.000 You like the Smurfs?

01:09:43.000 You made it in the book.

01:09:44.000 Woo!

01:09:46.000 Did they though?

01:09:47.000 They did!

01:09:47.000 It was the largest smurf gathering on the planet.

01:09:50.000 I hope it was worth it.

01:09:51.000 Hey man, hey, hey.

01:09:53.000 Legacy.

01:09:55.000 There's gonna be like one left in like 50 years and he's gonna be like 80% of them died.

01:10:00.000 Do you know who I am?

01:10:01.000 Coronavirus.

01:10:02.000 Do you know who I am?

01:10:03.000 I'm the Papa Smurf.

01:10:05.000 Yeah, it's gonna be funny.

01:10:06.000 In like 50 years, there's gonna be an even bigger gathering of Smurfs.

01:10:10.000 Yeah.

01:10:10.000 And he's gonna show up like the lone survivor of the great, you know, coronavirus pandemic.

01:10:15.000 And he's gonna be like, it was me.

01:10:16.000 I was the last one.

01:10:17.000 They're gonna cheer for him.

01:10:18.000 And he's gonna be like the Papa Smurf as the old man.

01:10:20.000 Yeah.

01:10:20.000 Next world record.

01:10:22.000 Congratulations.

01:10:23.000 You made it.

01:10:24.000 Rob the Butcher says, it feels good to give y'all some dough.

01:10:27.000 Off topic question.

01:10:28.000 But would you guys do some game streaming, Doom Eternal, and then like 800 exclamation points?

01:10:33.000 Yeah, we're probably gonna set up a new channel for it.

01:10:34.000 He keeps trying to convince me to do it.

01:10:36.000 I do, I go on and off with my gaming though, so I'm not consistent with it, you know?

01:10:41.000 Sometimes I'm playing Magic, sometimes I'm playing PlayStation, and you know, sometimes I'm skating.

01:10:47.000 You know, I kinda...

01:10:49.000 Yeah.

01:10:49.000 Go with whatever I'm feeling.

01:10:50.000 I have a routine.

01:10:51.000 I don't.

01:10:52.000 I wake up, I do my show.

01:10:52.000 I have no routine.

01:10:54.000 Then it's like... Actually, I do now.

01:10:55.000 I have this show.

01:10:56.000 Right.

01:10:56.000 It's new.

01:10:57.000 It's new.

01:10:57.000 It's nice to have a routine.

01:10:58.000 Yeah, before it's just video games.

01:10:59.000 I'm like, time to go down and talk to Tim.

01:11:01.000 Alright.

01:11:02.000 We were just talking upstairs, now we're gonna go talk downstairs.

01:11:04.000 Now we're gonna go downstairs and talk.

01:11:05.000 And then we'll probably go back upstairs and talk some more.

01:11:08.000 All right, so I'm gonna start going through the Super Chats faster, because we still have another thing to talk about.

01:11:35.000 Now I'm going to start moving through the Super Chat, so I apologize to those if I don't read your comments, but, you know, we're getting slammed.

01:11:41.000 The more viewers we have, the harder it is to do.

01:11:44.000 JT Brown says, if there are no consequences for the Chinese government and these wet markets, or politicians like Joe Biden take their money, we are screwed.

01:11:52.000 Red Beard says, what's your opinion of Trump's response to the question about calling it the Chinese virus it came from China?

01:11:57.000 It did.

01:11:57.000 That's a great response.

01:11:58.000 And they're trying to change the name of the Spanish flu to the 1918 flu epidemic.

01:12:03.000 Stupid.

01:12:04.000 It's insane.

01:12:05.000 Literally rewriting history.

01:12:06.000 It's all because right now they're like, I don't like Trump, so we're going to change history.

01:12:10.000 What?

01:12:10.000 Shut up.

01:12:11.000 Yeah, seriously.

01:12:11.000 So there was an interesting thing on the Wikipedia page while they're arguing over whether or not to keep the name Spanish flu.

01:12:17.000 Somebody commented, if you do a Google search for 1918 flu epidemic, you get a couple hundred thousand results.

01:12:23.000 If you search for Spanish flu, you get 13 million.

01:12:26.000 No one calls it this.

01:12:28.000 Right.

01:12:29.000 Like, no one calls an epidemic by the year.

01:12:31.000 Yeah, no.

01:12:32.000 And so, what they said was if we change this, people are going to not understand.

01:12:35.000 They're going to think it's a separate incident.

01:12:36.000 Exactly.

01:12:37.000 Spanish flu is just what it's called.

01:12:38.000 Yeah.

01:12:40.000 Hate to say it, but names are names.

01:12:41.000 Mm-hmm.

01:12:41.000 Mm-hmm true saying says Tim Barnes and Noble has no plans to shut its stores

01:12:45.000 They're actively fighting to reopen the six stores closed in San Fran our local mall is three stores open everyone

01:12:51.000 flooding in and touching books Wow

01:12:54.000 I just says all shipping is delayed multiple days Instacart has more than three day delay in my area, normally two hours.

01:13:00.000 Wow.

01:13:01.000 And Amazon is basically, like, it's delayed.

01:13:04.000 Essentials only.

01:13:05.000 Yeah, the whole foods, Amazon delivery is done.

01:13:07.000 Really?

01:13:07.000 Yeah, you can't get food.

01:13:10.000 Tovin says, I'm living and working in Mexico, sheltering in place, well prepared.

01:13:14.000 No one down here is taking this serious.

01:13:16.000 I guess if you don't test for COVID-19, doesn't exist.

01:13:18.000 Could be bad.

01:13:20.000 Could be, yeah.

01:13:20.000 Yup, and then Trump's gonna be like, we gotta build a wall, get a handle on this.

01:13:25.000 FallinSnowball, thanks for becoming a member.

01:13:28.000 You know, someone in the comments like an hour ago said something about calling it the CCP virus.

01:13:35.000 Hey, yeah, I'm down with that.

01:13:36.000 I like that.

01:13:36.000 That's perfect.

01:13:37.000 Sure.

01:13:38.000 It's not the Chinese people whose fault it is.

01:13:40.000 How about we call it the communist coronavirus?

01:13:42.000 The communist virus?

01:13:43.000 Because then we get to rag on communists.

01:13:45.000 Yeah.

01:13:45.000 And who's going to care?

01:13:46.000 Communists?

01:13:47.000 No.

01:13:47.000 But we don't care about them.

01:13:48.000 We do not.

01:13:48.000 They're not people.

01:13:50.000 They're not people.

01:13:50.000 No, they are.

01:13:51.000 I'm kidding.

01:13:51.000 This is a common thought.

01:13:53.000 No, actually, I want to make sure this is clear.

01:13:55.000 I don't care if you're a communist.

01:13:56.000 We can break bread, hang out, and have a good time, as long as you're not an authoritarian.

01:13:59.000 Yeah.

01:13:59.000 That's fair.

01:14:00.000 Which is really hard for a communist.

01:14:01.000 Just don't tell me what to do.

01:14:02.000 Right.

01:14:02.000 Right, exactly.

01:14:03.000 Just don't tell me what to do.

01:14:04.000 So if you're like a hippie communist who wants to go live on your own private farm with your friends and do your own thing, hey, man, do your thing.

01:14:10.000 If you're the kind that wants to, like, you know, throw random people in a gulag, then we got trouble now.

01:14:15.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:14:16.000 Where are we at?

01:14:18.000 Nula says, I want a beanie with It's Complicated on it.

01:14:20.000 Make it so I'd buy it.

01:14:22.000 Well, we'll figure it out, but I will mention right now.

01:14:24.000 Noted.

01:14:25.000 In the description is a link to shirts.

01:14:28.000 I think mostly just shirts.

01:14:29.000 The beanie shirt?

01:14:29.000 There is a beanie shirt in that store.

01:14:31.000 As well as some, like, other logo stuff that I've designed.

01:14:33.000 Yeah, it's a beanie shirt.

01:14:34.000 It's cool, man.

01:14:36.000 I think I did a good job.

01:14:38.000 It's popping up right now.

01:14:38.000 Can you see it?

01:14:40.000 I think the beanie shirt looks cool.

01:14:42.000 So I vectorized my beanie, and then it's just, like, on the shirt.

01:14:45.000 Oh my gosh.

01:14:46.000 It's cool, right?

01:14:46.000 It is literally your beanie.

01:14:48.000 Yeah, it is.

01:14:49.000 It's great.

01:14:50.000 It's cool.

01:14:50.000 I mean, you guys can all see it.

01:14:53.000 It says merch.

01:14:54.000 There's a link.

01:14:54.000 Just click on it.

01:14:55.000 The craziest thing is when I've met people and they're, like, wearing the shirt, and I'm like, man, that's so crazy.

01:15:00.000 Because I just like... I want it!

01:15:01.000 I gotta get me one of those.

01:15:02.000 I ordered one.

01:15:03.000 Did you?

01:15:04.000 We can like hang it up or something.

01:15:05.000 It's funny.

01:15:05.000 You gotta order me one.

01:15:07.000 I'm sure you get a discount, right?

01:15:08.000 The funny... So I did it on purpose because I thought it was funny because people kept saying like to make beanies.

01:15:12.000 And I was like, what if I made a shirt with a beanie on it?

01:15:15.000 So it's like... I think it's great.

01:15:16.000 So it's kind of like... I mean, who else is known for their beanie?

01:15:19.000 Well, I can't name anybody.

01:15:21.000 I don't know.

01:15:21.000 It's just, you know, I guess.

01:15:23.000 That's great.

01:15:23.000 I love it.

01:15:24.000 All right, let's read some more.

01:15:25.000 But yeah, it's in the description.

01:15:26.000 You can buy your beanie shirts.

01:15:28.000 Richard Levina says, I know we have a history not trusting emergency bills, but early estimates show 4 million people being out of work if there isn't a Fed small biz loan.

01:15:37.000 I say this as a small business owner myself with 50 employees.

01:15:42.000 Balthazar, thanks for becoming a member.

01:15:44.000 For the small business thing, dude, I definitely think the government needs to do something.

01:15:48.000 It's annoying to me how they're saying, like, see, socialism works because the government is stepping in.

01:15:52.000 No, it's what the government does in emergencies.

01:15:54.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:15:56.000 And someone I know on Facebook posted something funny.

01:15:58.000 They said, the government giving you back some of the money it's taken from you is not socialism.

01:16:02.000 How generous.

01:16:04.000 Like, this is the craziest thing to me about the people I grew up with who are, you know, absolutely opposed to ever getting unemployment or food benefits.

01:16:12.000 They're like, no, no, not for me.

01:16:13.000 And I'm like, but it's your money.

01:16:15.000 Like, you pay taxes, right?

01:16:16.000 Like, I did.

01:16:17.000 You got fired, right?

01:16:18.000 I did.

01:16:19.000 Or you lost your job.

01:16:20.000 So file for unemployment.

01:16:22.000 You literally pay into unemployment insurance.

01:16:24.000 It is insurance.

01:16:25.000 So that if you lose your job, you get some money to keep going and find a new job.

01:16:28.000 And they're like, oh no, I couldn't do that.

01:16:30.000 It's like... They're just being proud.

01:16:32.000 I know.

01:16:32.000 Yeah, don't... No, exactly.

01:16:33.000 Don't be proud.

01:16:34.000 It's hard to take help.

01:16:35.000 The government took my money from me!

01:16:36.000 I want it back!

01:16:37.000 So what?

01:16:39.000 Yeah.

01:16:39.000 Yep.

01:16:40.000 Some people abuse it, though, so that's true.

01:16:42.000 Yeah, I don't like that.

01:16:43.000 Jay Jones and Marcello, thanks for becoming members.

01:16:45.000 Thank you.

01:16:45.000 Really appreciate it.

01:16:47.000 Yeah, thanks.

01:16:48.000 Shun Ryuenji Matoi.

01:16:50.000 Sorry if I'm not saying your name wrong.

01:16:51.000 I blasted the Twitter out.

01:16:52.000 He's zealots drooling for socialism in this crisis.

01:16:55.000 And the amount of people that are full of S is amazing.

01:16:57.000 And some dude started harassing me.

01:16:59.000 LOL.

01:16:59.000 By the way, love your work.

01:17:00.000 I appreciate it, man.

01:17:01.000 Baltazar says, C.A.

01:17:03.000 Bay Area is under shelter in place where non-essential businesses must close.

01:17:07.000 Tesla factory still operating.

01:17:09.000 Elon refuses to close.

01:17:11.000 I weep for plebs that can't afford the essentials.

01:17:13.000 Food, water, toilet paper, Tesla cars.

01:17:15.000 Yeah, right?

01:17:17.000 Benjamin and D. Mar- Mara- Marayao.

01:17:21.000 Thanks for coming, members!

01:17:22.000 Thank you.

01:17:23.000 Mr. Oh, it just jumped on me again.

01:17:24.000 Why does it gotta do that?

01:17:25.000 Where are we at?

01:17:27.000 So just for those that are new to this, YouTube will just drop like 800 superchats at once, and then the whole thing... Man, we are seriously inundated with superchats here.

01:17:36.000 This is... Appreciate it, guys.

01:17:38.000 We love you.

01:17:38.000 Thanks for showing up for us.

01:17:39.000 Much appreciated.

01:17:40.000 This is where we are.

01:17:41.000 Mr. Paul R. says, Klaatu Barada Nikto.

01:17:44.000 Yep.

01:17:45.000 Need camera before the zombie apocalypse happens.

01:17:47.000 Should be able to find not much demand during end of times.

01:17:50.000 I'm pretty sure Klaatu Barada Nikto is the voice command to shut down the murderous robots in The Day the Earth Stood Still.

01:17:58.000 Is that it?

01:17:58.000 Am I right?

01:17:59.000 Can you look that up?

01:17:59.000 I'm not sure.

01:18:00.000 What's it called?

01:18:02.000 K-L-A-A-T-U Barada.

01:18:04.000 Klaatu Barada Nikto.

01:18:05.000 I thought it was Barada.

01:18:08.000 Yeah, maybe they forgot the A. I don't know what language that is.

01:18:11.000 It's from a sci-fi.

01:18:11.000 It's from The Day the Earth Stood Still.

01:18:13.000 I think it is.

01:18:14.000 I think I've only seen that once.

01:18:15.000 And like, the guy says it, the alien dude says it to the machine that's destroying the planet, and then it stops or whatever.

01:18:19.000 Wait, is that a Keanu Reeves movie?

01:18:20.000 Well, he played Klaatu.

01:18:22.000 Oh, I've never seen that one.

01:18:23.000 Klaatu Baradu.

01:18:24.000 Yeah, I gotta see that movie.

01:18:25.000 Baradu Niktu.

01:18:26.000 I've never seen it.

01:18:26.000 Yes!

01:18:26.000 Nailed it.

01:18:27.000 Yeah, you nailed it.

01:18:28.000 Nice job.

01:18:30.000 Um, I like it.

01:18:31.000 It's a famous story, but people criticize him for being, like, blank-faced, you know?

01:18:36.000 But I like it.

01:18:37.000 I'll probably watch it later.

01:18:38.000 Okay.

01:18:39.000 Yeah.

01:18:39.000 Platu, Barada, Nikto.

01:18:41.000 WeSmokeBitcoin says, Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

01:18:47.000 George Carlin was a prophet.

01:18:49.000 Rest in peace, George.

01:18:50.000 Rest in peace, man.

01:18:51.000 Mark Robert Jobs.

01:18:52.000 We miss you.

01:18:52.000 We do.

01:18:53.000 That is actually accurate.

01:18:54.000 I do look like a nice person.

01:18:55.000 Yeah.

01:18:55.000 It's a disguise.

01:18:56.000 You look nice.

01:18:56.000 First the panic buyers clean it out.

01:18:58.000 Then the regular people have to panic buy just to get it.

01:19:01.000 It's become a race to get the items first before anyone else.

01:19:04.000 Aeon, thanks for becoming a member.

01:19:06.000 CS Brown says, shout out to the disembodied female voice I keep hearing on the podcast.

01:19:11.000 You sound like you look like a nice person.

01:19:13.000 That is actually accurate.

01:19:15.000 I do look like a nice person.

01:19:17.000 Yeah.

01:19:17.000 It's a disguise.

01:19:18.000 You look nice.

01:19:19.000 Aw, thanks.

01:19:20.000 Westside says, if you need any see-do parts, we got it all.

01:19:22.000 Support small biz?

01:19:23.000 We took Tim's warnings and have everything we need in the brands we like.

01:19:26.000 Yes.

01:19:27.000 Well, my warnings were never to overbuy.

01:19:29.000 It was just to get what you need for the time being.

01:19:31.000 You know what I mean?

01:19:32.000 Right, exactly.

01:19:32.000 Maybe buy a little bit more than you normally would.

01:19:34.000 Just a little.

01:19:35.000 Yeah, just a little.

01:19:35.000 Because the people who stocked up on 800 rolls of toilet paper, you've lost your minds.

01:19:38.000 Yeah.

01:19:39.000 Thomas Jones says, you are the first person to give me the heads up on the toilet paper issue, and it turned out to be true in a small part of Montana.

01:19:46.000 Better than TYT, in my opinion.

01:19:47.000 Keep up the great work.

01:19:48.000 Appreciate it, man.

01:19:48.000 Thanks.

01:19:49.000 Marcelo Weerman, most people only started noticing that things got real here in Europe when TP and Italian pasta vanished from Amazon Fresh.

01:19:58.000 There are some people who are just in front of things, and they're gonna snatch up that TP before you know it.

01:20:04.000 But how is that possible that these people were paying attention enough, but not smart enough not to get other things?

01:20:11.000 You know what I mean?

01:20:11.000 We went shopping twice.

01:20:13.000 We didn't buy toilet paper when we went.

01:20:14.000 No.

01:20:14.000 We were like, we better get bread and like, water.

01:20:16.000 Yeah, we were like, we need to live.

01:20:18.000 We need to live.

01:20:19.000 Oh look, the toilet paper aisle.

01:20:20.000 And we, yeah, we laughed at it.

01:20:21.000 It's empty.

01:20:22.000 And we were like, well, how about vitamins?

01:20:24.000 And then we bought vitamins.

01:20:25.000 Yeah.

01:20:25.000 But like.

01:20:26.000 We got all the essentials we needed.

01:20:27.000 But the vitamin C was gone.

01:20:28.000 That's true.

01:20:29.000 The vitamin C was gone.

01:20:30.000 Yeah, it's made in China, man.

01:20:32.000 We're gonna need, we're gonna eat oranges.

01:20:34.000 John.

01:20:36.000 John Kerr says, keep up the great job guys.

01:20:38.000 Makes life in the Brooklyn bunker tolerable.

01:20:39.000 Appreciate it.

01:20:40.000 Thank you.

01:20:41.000 Student of History says, the Defense Manufacturing Act actually affect me because I work in a machine shop that makes medical parts and tools.

01:20:48.000 I was so looking forward to having a few weeks off to relax.

01:20:51.000 Wow, man.

01:20:51.000 Well, hey, thanks for doing what you're doing.

01:20:53.000 I mean, you're doing what you gotta do to help make the world work.

01:20:55.000 Yeah, appreciate you.

01:20:56.000 Ryan Vanney, thanks for becoming a member.

01:20:57.000 Tim Clark says, Aussie here, the federal government has banned all gathering of 500 people outside and 100 inside, and my local government has shut down all visitor info centers, pools, libraries, sports, events, etc.

01:21:09.000 Yep.

01:21:09.000 It makes sense.

01:21:11.000 Shannon, thanks for joining.

01:21:12.000 Joey Telly says, Tim, have you seen the story of Marjana Soldo, who supposedly has been visited by the Virgin Mary every month for 40 years and was told this would be the last visit?

01:21:12.000 Thank you.

01:21:22.000 Ooh, that sounds creepy.

01:21:23.000 Ooh.

01:21:24.000 Someone, you want to look that up?

01:21:24.000 What is it?

01:21:25.000 What's that story?

01:21:25.000 What's the name?

01:21:26.000 Marjana, M-I-R-J-A-N-A.

01:21:30.000 Right.

01:21:30.000 Claims to be visited by the Virgin Mary and then the Virgin said this is the last time.

01:21:36.000 Whatever.

01:21:37.000 What's the last name?

01:21:38.000 I'll have to see.

01:21:38.000 Soldo?

01:21:39.000 S-O-L-D-O?

01:21:40.000 Did you see it?

01:21:41.000 I'll keep reading, you do that.

01:21:42.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:21:44.000 Paxton says, a 5.3 earthquake happened in Utah today with a 4.7 aftershock.

01:21:50.000 It freaked people out because the University of Utah was predicting a 9.8.

01:21:53.000 Whoa.

01:21:54.000 And I woke up to being rushed out of the house.

01:21:56.000 Thank God for virus prep.

01:21:58.000 Wow, man.

01:21:59.000 A 9.8?

01:22:01.000 You wouldn't be able to stand up.

01:22:02.000 No.

01:22:02.000 That'd be nuts.

01:22:03.000 Yeah, wow.

01:22:04.000 Just lay in the grass, I guess?

01:22:06.000 What else do you do?

01:22:07.000 Wow.

01:22:08.000 HandyRedneck, thanks for joining.

01:22:10.000 AndlesHistory says, back and forth, swing of the pendulum, everything is cyclical.

01:22:13.000 Have confidence that we will bounce back from this catastrophe.

01:22:16.000 I do think so.

01:22:16.000 Yep, me too.

01:22:17.000 As pooped by Anakin Skywalker.

01:22:19.000 Thanks for becoming a member.

01:22:21.000 Ruben Terry says, did anyone ever consider that the mall could be a way for virus transmission?

01:22:28.000 A lot of people touch the mail before you ever get it.

01:22:33.000 You don't even have to leave your home to catch the virus.

01:22:35.000 That's true.

01:22:36.000 Was that woman getting mail?

01:22:37.000 She was getting mail.

01:22:38.000 That's what I was thinking.

01:22:39.000 That's what the comments are saying.

01:22:41.000 Jmax says, I live in AZ and we got snowfall today.

01:22:44.000 That, plus an earthquake in Utah and a world pandemic.

01:22:47.000 If I were a religious man, I'd think the world were ending.

01:22:51.000 I mean, Arizona has every different temperate climate in its entire state, so.

01:22:57.000 Kritchian says, hi, greetings from Poland.

01:22:59.000 Love your show.

01:23:00.000 Here's a quote from my favorite show.

01:23:01.000 Twilight zone for civilization to survive.

01:23:03.000 The human race has to remain civilized.

01:23:05.000 Cool.

01:23:06.000 Michael, thanks for joining.

01:23:07.000 Thank you.

01:23:08.000 Derek, thanks for joining.

01:23:09.000 Jesse, thanks for joining.

01:23:10.000 I'm bright.

01:23:10.000 Thank you.

01:23:11.000 and then we just jumped again.

01:23:13.000 Alan Clos says, the only way it seems fair to force China

01:23:15.000 to pay for the coronavirus would be if they willfully did it.

01:23:19.000 Well, I don't know.

01:23:20.000 The Grizzly says he's playing.

01:23:22.000 Hey, playing the perfect game to pass the plague.

01:23:25.000 Play the game.

01:23:25.000 They are billions.

01:23:27.000 It's a strategy game where you build a city and fend off billions of zombies.

01:23:30.000 Great for preparing for the future when the virus mutates.

01:23:33.000 Yikes.

01:23:34.000 Joshua and Tina, thanks for becoming members.

01:23:35.000 Thank you.

01:23:36.000 Bradford says the Chicago Midway Air Traffic Control Tower had to close due to several confirmed cases at the facility.

01:23:42.000 Oh, wow.

01:23:43.000 The average age of air traffic controllers is 30 and 40s.

01:23:46.000 I am a student at an ATC college right now.

01:23:48.000 Wow, man.

01:23:50.000 Eddie Bear says I lost my job as a video editor.

01:23:52.000 Am not college educated.

01:23:54.000 Here if you need me.

01:23:55.000 Well, shoot an email.

01:23:56.000 But I'm not, you know, I don't really do the video editing stuff, so.

01:23:59.000 I think it's about time.

01:24:01.000 We go over to what may be one of the most nightmarish stories I've ever seen.

01:24:05.000 Yes, I'm excited.

01:24:06.000 I already have a headache here.

01:24:08.000 Marvel introduces new warriors, safe space, and snowflake.

01:24:13.000 Let that sink in.

01:24:14.000 This is not a joke.

01:24:14.000 Oh my gosh.

01:24:15.000 I thought this was a joke.

01:24:16.000 Not a joke.

01:24:17.000 I thought you were joking with me.

01:24:18.000 When I saw this on Twitter, I was like, haha, they're making fun of Marvel for getting woke.

01:24:24.000 And then I watched the video.

01:24:26.000 The introductory trailer, where the man explains why we're gonna take back Safe Space and Snowflake, and make them heroes, who are apparently twins, who are a tad incestuous.

01:24:38.000 Okay, that's me being hyperbolic.

01:24:39.000 Let people make up their own minds.

01:24:41.000 Okay, I just seeded that in your- Let me see the picture.

01:24:43.000 So first, here's Snowflake and Safe Space.

01:24:47.000 Here's the first thing I want to say.

01:24:48.000 If you like this, I got no beef.

01:24:50.000 By all means, buy the stuff.

01:24:52.000 I'm glad you're getting content that you want.

01:24:54.000 I really don't care.

01:24:55.000 That's a niche market.

01:24:57.000 Sure, I think so.

01:24:58.000 I think it's a bad idea.

01:24:59.000 My thing's always like this, though, dude.

01:25:01.000 If they want to make a product like asparagus-flavored ice cream, maybe somebody will want to buy it.

01:25:05.000 Yeah.

01:25:06.000 I'm not going to rag on someone for wanting to buy asparagus-flavored ice cream.

01:25:08.000 I think it's weird.

01:25:09.000 I wouldn't want it.

01:25:11.000 But in this instance, I look at this and I'm like, this is silly.

01:25:14.000 I will not buy it.

01:25:15.000 And when they don't make money, well, then maybe they'll stop doing it.

01:25:17.000 Yeah, when when you've been talking about, you know, make something new for for this.

01:25:23.000 I didn't mean this.

01:25:24.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:25:25.000 It's like something cool, something.

01:25:28.000 No, actually, superhero.

01:25:29.000 I don't know.

01:25:29.000 I'm not going to think about this.

01:25:31.000 I'm just like, no, no, no, no.

01:25:33.000 I'm glad.

01:25:34.000 I don't know what the New Warriors is either.

01:25:35.000 What is this?

01:25:36.000 So the New War is actually like a longstanding comic, I guess.

01:25:38.000 Oh, OK.

01:25:39.000 Revamping.

01:25:39.000 No, I'm totally cool with this.

01:25:41.000 I'm going to criticize it.

01:25:42.000 I'm going to make fun of it.

01:25:43.000 We're going to rag on it.

01:25:44.000 But that's just my opinion.

01:25:46.000 It doesn't mean that if you like it, you know, you shouldn't and you can't go and buy it if you want.

01:25:50.000 Hey man, hey look, we're about freedom here.

01:25:52.000 You go do your thing.

01:25:53.000 Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do.

01:25:55.000 Meanwhile, I'm going to be making fun of this product.

01:25:57.000 I'll be judging this.

01:25:58.000 But you made a good point.

01:26:00.000 They often try and take old heroes and then turn them into woke caricatures.

01:26:04.000 Right, exactly.

01:26:05.000 And that's stupid.

01:26:06.000 This... Yeah, make something new.

01:26:08.000 This is something new.

01:26:10.000 So here's what's disconcerting.

01:26:12.000 You got all these characters.

01:26:13.000 This guy's apparently screen time.

01:26:15.000 I guess his thing is that like... Oh, screen time.

01:26:17.000 He's connected to Google.

01:26:18.000 Like, I'm not kidding.

01:26:19.000 Like, I guess it's his power.

01:26:20.000 Google?

01:26:21.000 Yeah.

01:26:21.000 Google is his power.

01:26:22.000 Yeah, like, it's in his brain.

01:26:24.000 And so he can see memes or something.

01:26:25.000 Oh, I see.

01:26:26.000 I can see memes, too.

01:26:27.000 What?

01:26:27.000 I don't know.

01:26:27.000 Superpower?

01:26:28.000 I don't know.

01:26:28.000 But then you have these people right here that are, like, embracing each other lovingly.

01:26:34.000 They are twins.

01:26:35.000 Yeah.

01:26:35.000 And the weird thing is, if you look at them, you're like, this one is clearly male and this one is clearly female.

01:26:41.000 Oh, I'm sorry.

01:26:42.000 This one is non-binary.

01:26:44.000 That doesn't mean anything.

01:26:45.000 You can't just say you're something if you're clearly, definitively female.

01:26:50.000 I guess you could.

01:26:50.000 You can call yourself whatever you want.

01:26:51.000 Whatever, man.

01:26:52.000 That's just me.

01:26:53.000 You do your thing.

01:26:54.000 Careful, Tim.

01:26:55.000 Careful.

01:26:56.000 Well, no, I always want to make sure I'm clear that, like, I'm not, I'm, I always want people to do their thing.

01:27:01.000 You know what I mean?

01:27:02.000 It's funny, it says, if, if, oh, where, where, oh man, no, where did it, that's, that line.

01:27:06.000 I lost it.

01:27:06.000 Which one were you looking for?

01:27:07.000 There was a line that said, um, most twins are psychic, but we're psychic-er.

01:27:13.000 Well, it's, it's on the, it's, it's, is it here?

01:27:14.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:27:15.000 I think it's in there.

01:27:16.000 Yeah, yeah, there it is.

01:27:17.000 Psychic twins.

01:27:18.000 All twins are psychic, but we're psychic-er.

01:27:20.000 Wow, that's amazing writing!

01:27:24.000 I didn't comment on it because there's so much else to talk about.

01:27:26.000 I was like, I'm not letting that go.

01:27:28.000 I'm going to bring that up and be like, what?

01:27:30.000 Let's talk about their powers.

01:27:32.000 Safe space has the ability to make barriers around other people, because he can make a safe space.

01:27:38.000 And snowflake can create giant, or like, you know, snowflake shurikens to throw at people, I guess.

01:27:45.000 That sounds like a bad person's thing.

01:27:48.000 Like, what are you going to do with them?

01:27:49.000 You're going to kill somebody with them, and then they're going to melt, and no one's going to know who killed them.

01:27:53.000 Well, I mean... How did this person die?

01:27:54.000 There's a big gash in their chest.

01:27:57.000 They bled out, but how did it happen?

01:27:58.000 There's no weapon.

01:28:00.000 So the thing about it is, not every hero... You can get away with murder.

01:28:04.000 But what about Wolverine?

01:28:05.000 You know?

01:28:06.000 Yeah, OK.

01:28:07.000 Yeah, he's got metal claws and he can slice you up.

01:28:09.000 That's what he does.

01:28:10.000 He slices people up.

01:28:11.000 And he does it well.

01:28:12.000 Yeah.

01:28:13.000 He does.

01:28:13.000 So look, I don't care about their powers.

01:28:15.000 I will say that in the Marvel Universe, these are anything but Omega level.

01:28:19.000 These are pathetic powers.

01:28:20.000 As far as I'm concerned, the Marvel Universe died with Tony Stark.

01:28:24.000 Yep.

01:28:25.000 When he died.

01:28:25.000 Yep.

01:28:26.000 I was like, oh cool, well that was a good run.

01:28:28.000 Well, the MCU at least.

01:28:30.000 Okay, yeah.

01:28:30.000 There's been a lot of weird stuff happening in the Marvel Universe for a while and before this.

01:28:35.000 But this is like, you know, I don't want to say jumping the shark.

01:28:38.000 What would be like 10 times jumping the shark?

01:28:42.000 Jumping the sharknado.

01:28:43.000 In space.

01:28:44.000 space yes it would be like if the Fonz so you know jumping the shark comes from

01:28:48.000 yeah yeah yeah we like if the Fonz was on the moon and he jumped over a Martian

01:28:51.000 shark and then when he jumped he never landed and just flew away and started

01:28:55.000 playing like start playing music and it showed him like traveling through space

01:28:59.000 that's what this is like they were criticized for getting woke and making

01:29:04.000 So they were like, let's lean into it.

01:29:07.000 Let's go for it.

01:29:07.000 You thought it was bad before.

01:29:09.000 This is them leaning into everything.

01:29:11.000 Is that?

01:29:11.000 Hold my beer.

01:29:12.000 No, yeah.

01:29:12.000 This is them.

01:29:13.000 Screen time is bad.

01:29:14.000 Snowflake is bad.

01:29:15.000 Safe space is bad.

01:29:16.000 All of these things are bad terms.

01:29:18.000 They are leaning hard, dude.

01:29:19.000 Screen time.

01:29:20.000 And they're diverse, too.

01:29:21.000 Of course, yes.

01:29:22.000 That just feels lazy to me.

01:29:24.000 I know.

01:29:24.000 They're just like, we need something new.

01:29:26.000 What should we do?

01:29:27.000 Who's got some ideas?

01:29:29.000 Oh, I got it.

01:29:30.000 Screen time.

01:29:31.000 He's got the power of Google.

01:29:33.000 It's like, oh, that's great.

01:29:34.000 Let's just run with it.

01:29:35.000 It's like, wait, what?

01:29:36.000 You thought it was a good idea?

01:29:38.000 We thought this was a good idea.

01:29:38.000 Really?

01:29:39.000 Screen time.

01:29:40.000 Let's read about these... I'm going to do air quotes for heroes.

01:29:40.000 What?

01:29:44.000 All right?

01:29:44.000 It's not fair to call them heroes.

01:29:45.000 Here we go.

01:29:45.000 Thank you.

01:29:46.000 Lucas Vecchio.

01:29:47.000 A meme-obsessed super teen whose brain became connected to the internet after becoming exposed to his grandfather's experimental internet gas.

01:29:55.000 Internet gas.

01:29:56.000 That sounds terrible.

01:29:57.000 Dude, this sounds like it's a little kid who's like five.

01:29:59.000 Yeah!

01:30:00.000 And just like the internet guess and he breathed it in and now he can see memes.

01:30:05.000 Do you think that's who's sitting at the table?

01:30:07.000 And the guy's like, write more, write more.

01:30:09.000 Fresh ideas.

01:30:10.000 Yeah, you're great.

01:30:10.000 Check it out, check it out.

01:30:12.000 Now he can see augmented reality and real-time maps and can instantly Google any fact.

01:30:17.000 Does this make him effectively a genius?

01:30:20.000 He sure acts like it does.

01:30:22.000 No.

01:30:23.000 Yikes.

01:30:23.000 I wanted to have teen characters who felt as, now, as the new warriors did in the 1990s.

01:30:29.000 Explains Kibblesmith.

01:30:31.000 I gotta stop right there.

01:30:32.000 The dude's name is Kibblesmith.

01:30:33.000 Okay, that explains everything.

01:30:35.000 Kibblesmith.

01:30:35.000 Yep, he got bullied too much.

01:30:36.000 That's his name.

01:30:37.000 Kibblesmith.

01:30:38.000 Kibblesmith.

01:30:39.000 It sounds very... What's the right word?

01:30:42.000 Low-T?

01:30:43.000 You know?

01:30:44.000 Is this a video we watched?

01:30:46.000 I think that's the guy.

01:30:47.000 That dude is very low-T.

01:30:48.000 Whoa.

01:30:49.000 The new warriors have been zeitgeist characters from the beginning.

01:30:52.000 You get edgy skateboarding night thrasher in the 1990s, and the reality TV team in the 2000s, and now in 2020, we have new warriors who have never grown up without the internet, and one character who appears to essentially live inside it.

01:31:06.000 The word screentime is only ever used in a sort of restrictive sense.

01:31:10.000 And because we're doing a story about teenage rebels, a lot of the names are about teens fighting against labels that are put on them.

01:31:18.000 What?

01:31:19.000 If you call yourself a superhero name, don't be... Are you implying that they're fighting against being called the name they want to be called?

01:31:25.000 It would make sense actually, because people are nuts these days.

01:31:28.000 So with screentime, we liked the idea that he has infinite screentime.

01:31:33.000 Wait, what?

01:31:35.000 You know what I think it is?

01:31:36.000 No, I think it's more obvious than this.

01:31:39.000 They have no idea what's going on.

01:31:41.000 I think you're right.

01:31:42.000 They Google-searched, they went on Tumblr, and they read a bunch of Tumblr, and they were like, let's go with it!

01:31:50.000 People seem to want this.

01:31:52.000 Here's the lovingly embraced twins, who apparently one is non-binary, even though she's very clearly female with, you know, she's got breasts and white hips.

01:32:00.000 Whoa, whoa, you're just assuming that's the non-binary one.

01:32:03.000 No, it is.

01:32:04.000 Oh, I don't know.

01:32:06.000 Psychic twins!

01:32:08.000 All twins are psychic, but we're psychic-er!

01:32:10.000 There's that five-year-old.

01:32:11.000 What?

01:32:12.000 They're literally Antifa!

01:32:13.000 A cryokinetic can materialize snowflake-shaped shuriken projectiles for throwing.

01:32:19.000 Safe space can materialize pink force fields, but he can't inhabit them himself.

01:32:23.000 The reflex only works if he's protecting others.

01:32:27.000 They're hyper-aware of modern culture and optics, and see their superheroic as a post-ironic

01:32:32.000 meditation on using violence to combat bullying.

01:32:35.000 What?

01:32:36.000 They're literally Antifa.

01:32:38.000 Oh my gosh.

01:32:40.000 Using violence to combat bullying?

01:32:42.000 So they're bullies?

01:32:44.000 Yeah.

01:32:45.000 They're probably streaming this.

01:32:46.000 No, okay, I'll be fair, like, if there was a bully and you socked him one, like, that's a difference from, you know, being a bully and stopping a bully.

01:32:51.000 Do they seem like they're not?

01:32:53.000 They seem like bullies.

01:32:53.000 Yeah, they do.

01:32:54.000 They totally do.

01:32:55.000 I mean, we'll see.

01:32:56.000 Snowflake and Safe Space are the twins, the writer says, and their names are very similar to screen time.

01:33:02.000 It's this idea that these are terms that get thrown around on the internet that they don't see as derogatory.

01:33:08.000 They take those words and kind of wear them as badges of honor.

01:33:11.000 Well, that's because they're dorks.

01:33:12.000 Yes.

01:33:14.000 Safe space is a big burly sort of stereotypical jock.

01:33:17.000 He can create force fields, but he can only trigger them if he's protecting somebody else.

01:33:21.000 Snowflake is non-binary and goes by they them and has the power to generate individual crystallized snowflake-shaped shurikens.

01:33:31.000 I'm sorry, I gotta stop right now.

01:33:33.000 As someone of Asian descent, I take serious offense to their use of the word shuriken for their weird ideology.

01:33:39.000 I'm gonna have to call them and get this guy fired.

01:33:42.000 Let's start a campaign.

01:33:42.000 I'm kidding, by the way.

01:33:44.000 The connotations of the word snowflake in our culture right now are something fragile.

01:33:48.000 And this is a character who is turning into something sharp.

01:33:51.000 Snowflake is the person who has the more offensive power.

01:33:55.000 And Safe Space is the person who has the more defensive power.

01:33:59.000 The idea is that they would mirror each other and compliment each other.

01:34:03.000 Now- Wow.

01:34:04.000 Be negative.

01:34:04.000 Really?

01:34:05.000 Be negative is a vampire.

01:34:07.000 And it's so lazy.

01:34:09.000 You know how he gets his power?

01:34:10.000 He gets a blood transfusion as a kid from Morbo.

01:34:12.000 Morbius.

01:34:13.000 Sorry, not Morbo.

01:34:14.000 Morbius.

01:34:15.000 It's like, oh, now he's a vampire.

01:34:17.000 Trailblazer, the morbidly obese Native American woman.

01:34:22.000 A regular kid, I mean, I guess in America.

01:34:26.000 I hope that's not a regular kid.

01:34:27.000 In America, you know, a regular kid scooped up into the world of teenage superheroing.

01:34:32.000 Her magic backpack is actually a pocket dimension with seemingly infinite space, that explains, you know, the size, from which she can pull out useful or random objects.

01:34:42.000 It's not always under her control.

01:34:44.000 She claims to get her power from God, but not the God you're thinking of, because that would be offensive.

01:34:50.000 She's a group home and foster kid who is volunteering at a senior center when this mysterious threat shows up and Night Thrasher runs to the rescue.

01:34:59.000 And because she helps him, she ends up in the crosshairs of this new outlawed law.

01:35:04.000 Trailblazer wants to help people, but she doesn't think of herself as a superhero yet, Kibblesmith concludes.

01:35:10.000 The Marvel uni- Kibblesmith?

01:35:12.000 The Marvel Universe is a reflection of our own.

01:35:14.000 And when a new law gets put into place, it affects people in unforeseen ways.

01:35:18.000 Oh, what, is she like undocumented or something?

01:35:20.000 Probably.

01:35:21.000 So here's what I love.

01:35:22.000 Like, he's right.

01:35:24.000 These characters are a reflection of people today, and they're trying to cater to them.

01:35:28.000 It's a reflection of, like, the jokes of people.

01:35:31.000 The worst parts.

01:35:32.000 Oh, gosh.

01:35:33.000 Remember when people would strive to be the best?

01:35:35.000 This feels like a joke still.

01:35:36.000 I still am having a hard time believing this is actually happening.

01:35:41.000 It's too early for April Fool's, Adam.

01:35:42.000 Yeah, I don't believe it.

01:35:43.000 I don't believe it.

01:35:43.000 It's too early.

01:35:45.000 Is it April 1st yet?

01:35:46.000 We're reading Marvel.com.

01:35:47.000 I can't believe this.

01:35:49.000 This is crazy.

01:35:50.000 This hurts.

01:35:50.000 Hold on.

01:35:51.000 Remember how, like, they used to draw superheroes where they would essentially draw them as naked and then just color their bodies?

01:36:00.000 So you would see, like, contours and, like, their butt cracks and everything.

01:36:03.000 Everything.

01:36:04.000 Now it's like... I mean, I guess they still kind of do that.

01:36:08.000 I mean, they're wearing skin-tight clothes, which is kind of weird.

01:36:10.000 Yeah.

01:36:12.000 It was supposed to be that there was, like, burgeoning, like, muscles and strength, and the women were, like, busty and beautiful.

01:36:18.000 They were the paradigm.

01:36:19.000 You were supposed to want to be the best.

01:36:21.000 Yeah.

01:36:22.000 She's, like, dangerously obese.

01:36:24.000 She's a trailblazer, yo.

01:36:25.000 But my issue with this is... How far is she getting?

01:36:28.000 Aren't we supposed to be encouraging people to be healthier and do better?

01:36:31.000 Instead, we're saying, like... No, this is beautiful, Tim.

01:36:34.000 But you know what's funny?

01:36:36.000 Actually, no, I was gonna say, you know, there's... Rarely do you see, like, male superheroes being morbidly obese.

01:36:42.000 Uh, Thor.

01:36:43.000 I know, and people hated that.

01:36:44.000 Yeah, it was weird.

01:36:45.000 Fat Thor in Endgame was weird.

01:36:46.000 So weird.

01:36:46.000 He seemed out of control.

01:36:48.000 I know, and it was... It was uncomfortable.

01:36:49.000 It did not feel like a conclusion or a... It made no sense to me.

01:36:53.000 Yeah.

01:36:54.000 I mean, I like Endgame for sure, but Endgame definitely felt like a... so long farewell to the MCU.

01:36:59.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:37:00.000 Like it was over.

01:37:00.000 Yeah, that's what I was saying.

01:37:01.000 Can you imagine when they bring Trailblazer and Safe Space into the MCU?

01:37:04.000 No one's gonna watch it.

01:37:05.000 That would be so amazing.

01:37:07.000 I would definitely go see it.

01:37:08.000 You would?

01:37:08.000 Absolutely.

01:37:09.000 Yeah, we'd have to so we can rant about it on our show.

01:37:11.000 And make fun of it and throw popcorn at the screen.

01:37:13.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:37:15.000 Don't waste popcorn, bro.

01:37:16.000 Yeah, that's a good point.

01:37:17.000 I'm a big fan of corn.

01:37:18.000 Dude, dude, dude.

01:37:19.000 Let's be honest.

01:37:20.000 I don't know if you know that about me.

01:37:21.000 If these characters were made into a movie, it would bomb horribly, but I would be the first person in line to see it.

01:37:27.000 I would be the first to go see it.

01:37:28.000 It would be amazing.

01:37:28.000 I would have to drink a little bit.

01:37:30.000 It would be so woke.

01:37:32.000 It would be hilarious.

01:37:33.000 It probably would.

01:37:34.000 Like, what's the fat chick gonna do?

01:37:35.000 Wait, is this a comedy?

01:37:37.000 Because that makes sense then.

01:37:38.000 No, it is not.

01:37:39.000 These people have very important virtues to signal.

01:37:41.000 So they're adding... Thank you.

01:37:43.000 Yeah, you're welcome.

01:37:45.000 Do people still buy this stuff?

01:37:46.000 I don't know.

01:37:47.000 I don't think so.

01:37:48.000 Like, I don't think anyone actually buys this stuff.

01:37:49.000 I can't imagine that they would, right?

01:37:51.000 I don't know.

01:37:53.000 When Kamala's Law goes into effect in the highly anticipated one-shot Outlawed, superheroics will be left to the adults and underage heroes will be banned unless they have official government-assigned mentors.

01:38:04.000 That's where the new warriors come in to break the law.

01:38:07.000 Yeah.

01:38:08.000 Whatever.

01:38:08.000 I mean, it sounds like they're literally Antifa, you know?

01:38:11.000 We use violence to stop violence.

01:38:13.000 Yeah, that makes sense.

01:38:14.000 And also, we're overweight.

01:38:15.000 I take issue with Trailblazer.

01:38:16.000 I do.

01:38:17.000 I'm sorry, I gotta say it.

01:38:20.000 Look, if you wanna read about Snowflake and Safe Space, it's fine.

01:38:24.000 They're both physically fit-looking people.

01:38:26.000 You can do or believe or call yourself whatever you want.

01:38:28.000 I don't care, man.

01:38:29.000 You do your thing.

01:38:30.000 This is what America's all about.

01:38:31.000 Pursuit of happiness.

01:38:32.000 Whatever floats your boat, you know?

01:38:34.000 And they're in shape.

01:38:35.000 Trailblazer's happy, Tim.

01:38:37.000 Yeah, but Trailblazer is a character that's going to be encouraging young people to be accepting of unhealthy lifestyles and gluttony and hedonism.

01:38:46.000 She's happy.

01:38:46.000 I don't see anything.

01:38:48.000 She looks pretty sad.

01:38:50.000 To an extent.

01:38:51.000 To an extent, you're correct.

01:38:52.000 I agree.

01:38:52.000 I'm playing devil's advocate.

01:38:53.000 No, no, no.

01:38:54.000 But you're right.

01:38:54.000 You're right.

01:38:54.000 I will absolutely accept.

01:38:56.000 If somebody... Look, I know a lot of people, and I posted something about, you know, people should be fit.

01:39:01.000 And I got, you know, several overweight people, you know, tweeting at me saying, like, I like being overweight.

01:39:07.000 I like doing these things.

01:39:08.000 And I'm like... You do you.

01:39:09.000 Spot on, brother.

01:39:10.000 But it's not healthy.

01:39:10.000 No one told you you can't do it.

01:39:11.000 Yeah, you shouldn't be encouraging other people to do that.

01:39:13.000 Right.

01:39:14.000 And they acknowledge it.

01:39:14.000 But listen, man.

01:39:16.000 If there's somebody who, in their life, they want to be overweight, they like eating the way they do, There you go.

01:39:22.000 Whatever, man.

01:39:22.000 Do your thing.

01:39:23.000 Save your own health care and do your own thing.

01:39:24.000 But we should absolutely not be encouraging young people to live this way.

01:39:30.000 I mean, it causes cancer.

01:39:32.000 It's like one of the leading causes of cancer is obesity, heart disease.

01:39:36.000 You will die.

01:39:37.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:39:38.000 It's not good for you.

01:39:40.000 What's the end result then?

01:39:42.000 The people just live unhealthy, awful lives and encourage it more and...

01:39:46.000 Hopefully Marvel gets a new writer that actually reads comics.

01:39:49.000 No, it's only getting worse, man.

01:39:51.000 That actually knows what comics are like.

01:39:53.000 It's only getting worse.

01:39:54.000 And also knows what the people want, because I don't think the people want this.

01:39:58.000 I do not think the people want this.

01:39:59.000 This is like the 2% of...

01:40:02.000 Not even.

01:40:03.000 And then 2% of that, they're like appeasing such a small... It's like Sanders going after the transgender vote in prisons.

01:40:12.000 No, that was Warren.

01:40:13.000 Or Warren was going after that.

01:40:14.000 Whatever, it doesn't matter.

01:40:15.000 The 400 people.

01:40:15.000 The 400 people in the world.

01:40:17.000 Why?

01:40:17.000 Why are you going after that?

01:40:18.000 Why are you going after that little market?

01:40:20.000 Don't get it.

01:40:21.000 Safe space.

01:40:22.000 The market is here, but we gotta appease these people.

01:40:26.000 I don't understand.

01:40:27.000 I don't get it.

01:40:28.000 Think about the popular comics.

01:40:30.000 I mean, the MCU's been pretty good.

01:40:32.000 But look at how popular Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America were.

01:40:37.000 Yeah.

01:40:38.000 And they were white males.

01:40:40.000 Buff, tall.

01:40:41.000 Well, not Robert Downey Jr.

01:40:42.000 He's not buff, but he's Tony Stark.

01:40:44.000 But he's Tony Stark.

01:40:44.000 His charisma.

01:40:45.000 No, no, no.

01:40:46.000 Tony Stark is a dick.

01:40:48.000 Like, that's literally who his character is.

01:40:50.000 Yeah.

01:40:51.000 He has charisma, though.

01:40:52.000 Sure, sure, sure.

01:40:53.000 He is a jerk.

01:40:53.000 Yeah, but... He's like... they made him move... like, Tony Stark is supposed to be kind of a bad dude.

01:40:59.000 Yeah.

01:41:00.000 He's a bad dude, but he's a superhero.

01:41:03.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:41:03.000 That was kind of the point of the character.

01:41:04.000 Could they make someone that was a completely detestable individual, but was still the hero?

01:41:08.000 Yeah.

01:41:09.000 And people love it.

01:41:09.000 And Robert Downey Jr.

01:41:10.000 did an amazing job of it.

01:41:11.000 He was the best actor.

01:41:12.000 Yeah, totally.

01:41:12.000 He's done such a good job.

01:41:13.000 But seriously, you know, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, they're stereotypical.

01:41:20.000 Stereotypical is not the right word, but they're like... Type.

01:41:23.000 Well, it's the hero's journey to an extent.

01:41:25.000 It's very predictable stuff.

01:41:26.000 It's classic.

01:41:28.000 And it's a white male lead.

01:41:29.000 And people love it.

01:41:29.000 They made millions and billions and billions.

01:41:31.000 Yep.

01:41:32.000 And now it feels like it's kind of over.

01:41:33.000 I mean, you know, with Endgame, sure, we can say it kind of ended, but Far From Home, Spider-Man, I thought was awesome.

01:41:41.000 Yeah, they're great.

01:41:41.000 Yeah, so they're gonna be doing more.

01:41:42.000 I'm excited for that.

01:41:43.000 Yeah, I'm glad they're doing that.

01:41:44.000 I'm excited for the next Doctor Strange stuff.

01:41:46.000 Yes.

01:41:46.000 If they put Snowflake in safe space anywhere near the MCU at all, I'd probably just stop going.

01:41:52.000 Yeah, no, that would be the last thing.

01:41:54.000 If they made a new Warriors movie with them, I'd be like, go see it.

01:41:56.000 I'd be all excited.

01:41:56.000 Like, this is gonna be hilarious.

01:41:57.000 But if they insert them and try to, like, force it into the MCU?

01:42:01.000 I mean, look, Fat Thor's already bad enough.

01:42:03.000 Oh man.

01:42:03.000 Like, people didn't like Dark World.

01:42:06.000 I liked Dark World.

01:42:07.000 That was fine.

01:42:07.000 Thor Dark World?

01:42:09.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:42:09.000 Is that the third one?

01:42:10.000 Second one.

01:42:11.000 Second one.

01:42:11.000 Oh, yeah.

01:42:12.000 And then Ragnarok.

01:42:12.000 Yeah, that was okay.

01:42:13.000 I liked Ragnarok.

01:42:14.000 You did?

01:42:15.000 Yeah, I liked that one too.

01:42:16.000 But Ragnarok started is where they saw the silliness they could embrace.

01:42:21.000 Yeah.

01:42:22.000 And then with Endgame, they were like, let's go overboard.

01:42:26.000 I don't see that happening.

01:42:27.000 of Thor. That was not his arc. He was... it's crazy to me that his homeworld is

01:42:32.000 destroyed and he makes it through. Yeah. Asgard is wiped out and he's fine. Yeah.

01:42:37.000 And then Thanos snaps the universe and he becomes a whiny sniveling little baby.

01:42:41.000 I don't see that happening. Yeah, that's unrealistic. Nope.

01:42:44.000 He was supposed to be king. Right. How could... they just...

01:42:47.000 it was like it didn't make sense for the character.

01:42:48.000 But he didn't blame himself for Asgard being destroyed but he blamed himself

01:42:52.000 because he didn't get a chance to kill and he didn't I can kind of see it.

01:42:58.000 I always try to look at the other side.

01:43:01.000 But you're totally right, though.

01:43:03.000 That wasn't Thor-like.

01:43:05.000 Right.

01:43:06.000 It was just not his character.

01:43:09.000 But that's it.

01:43:10.000 Thor's gonna be a girl.

01:43:12.000 Right.

01:43:12.000 And that's why I think the MCU is really over.

01:43:14.000 But didn't that actually happen in the comics, though?

01:43:16.000 And people hated it.

01:43:17.000 A female Thor?

01:43:18.000 Yeah.

01:43:19.000 Jane.

01:43:19.000 Jane Foster becomes Thor.

01:43:20.000 Oh, okay.

01:43:21.000 In the comics.

01:43:21.000 Yes.

01:43:22.000 So now Jane Foster is gonna be Lady Thor in the movie, apparently, and I guess people are gonna not like it.

01:43:28.000 Hey, it could be good.

01:43:30.000 I really like Thor films.

01:43:31.000 Captain Marvel made money.

01:43:32.000 And if it's Taika Waititi, then I'm pretty sure it's gonna be good.

01:43:35.000 So, the one thing I'll say to all this silliness... Snowflake and Safe Space... Like, I'll tell you what, man.

01:43:43.000 They might as well just make a clown.

01:43:45.000 And call him, like, Captain Clown.

01:43:46.000 Yep.

01:43:47.000 No, just Clown.

01:43:48.000 Just Clown.

01:43:49.000 My name's Clown.

01:43:49.000 No authority.

01:43:50.000 And he has no powers.

01:43:51.000 He's just a clown.

01:43:52.000 Yeah.

01:43:52.000 And he fights villains by throwing pies.

01:43:54.000 Or a bright orange man that's Orange Man Bad.

01:43:58.000 Yeah, that's the villain.

01:43:59.000 You know what I mean?

01:44:00.000 Like, the villain is the orange man.

01:44:01.000 Just go for it.

01:44:02.000 Just go for it.

01:44:02.000 Why not?

01:44:03.000 Cheater.

01:44:03.000 Dictator.

01:44:03.000 Yeah.

01:44:04.000 Yeah, the orange man.

01:44:05.000 No, no, no, but Snowflake in Safe Space is such a ridiculous caricature of superhero and comic characters.

01:44:14.000 Yeah.

01:44:14.000 They may as well have just made a clown.

01:44:17.000 Feels like it.

01:44:18.000 The colorful cartoon, the ridiculous name.

01:44:20.000 Yeah.

01:44:21.000 And have him throw pies.

01:44:23.000 So how could, what is this?

01:44:25.000 I'll tell you what, man.

01:44:28.000 I still almost just can't believe this is even real.

01:44:32.000 When I first saw this, especially the overweight woman, and then like, I'm gonna reiterate this, I'm just gonna point out again, like they're lovingly embraced, they're loving embraced.

01:44:40.000 It's so weird.

01:44:41.000 I don't like it.

01:44:42.000 They're psychic-er.

01:44:43.000 Uncomfortable.

01:44:44.000 That's weird.

01:44:45.000 They have like a weird relationship.

01:44:47.000 That's a little weird.

01:44:48.000 I don't know.

01:44:49.000 They're not normal twins.

01:44:50.000 Yeah, that's not cool.

01:44:52.000 As they stated.

01:44:53.000 Normal twins are like this.

01:44:54.000 Well, we're twin-ier.

01:44:56.000 Maybe other people just know better than me, but if you were a fraternal twin with a male, would you hug and embrace like that?

01:45:02.000 I know some twins.

01:45:03.000 Are they weird?

01:45:04.000 No.

01:45:05.000 They're normal people.

01:45:06.000 Like normal, right?

01:45:07.000 They act like friends.

01:45:08.000 Yeah, they're siblings.

01:45:10.000 Yeah, but they don't hold each other.

01:45:14.000 That's weird.

01:45:16.000 Marvel is just...

01:45:18.000 Look, but I'll be honest though, I don't read the comics.

01:45:21.000 Neither do I. Right, it's been a long time.

01:45:23.000 I used to.

01:45:24.000 And so that's what they know.

01:45:25.000 They know that you and I don't care.

01:45:27.000 And so they don't care that we're making fun of it.

01:45:29.000 There's going to be some Tumblr kids who are going to be like, oh cool, non-binary!

01:45:32.000 Yeah, snowflake!

01:45:33.000 Shoo, shoo, I'm throwing snowflakes!

01:45:35.000 Mom, can you get me this snowflake thing so I can throw snowflakes and be non-binary?

01:45:38.000 And she's going to be like, okay.

01:45:39.000 And he's going to go to a birthday party and someone's going to get him safe space.

01:45:42.000 And they're trying to popularize it.

01:45:44.000 Hey look, I've got my safe space action figure.

01:45:48.000 You're now in a safe space, Tim.

01:45:50.000 You know what's gonna be funny?

01:45:51.000 It's gonna be funny when some little girl's like, I need to start eating more if I want to be like Trailblazer.

01:45:56.000 And then their parents are gonna be like, why is she gaining so much weight?

01:45:58.000 She's trying to be like her favorite hero.

01:45:59.000 And then she's not gonna be able to do anything close to what Trailblazer does because

01:46:02.000 she's gonna be overweight and unable to actually do stuff.

01:46:04.000 But what does she do? She pulls stuff out of her backpack.

01:46:06.000 That's amazing.

01:46:07.000 That's... any kid can do that.

01:46:09.000 Her name is Trailblazer.

01:46:10.000 This is what they're trying to do though.

01:46:12.000 They're trying to figure out how they can sell comics to the fat kids with the backpacks.

01:46:15.000 Yeah.

01:46:15.000 That makes sense.

01:46:17.000 That's what it's all about.

01:46:18.000 That's one of the reasons why they have this big push for diversity.

01:46:21.000 It's not because they think they're morally right to do so, it's because they're like, how do we get comic books in the hands of these groups?

01:46:27.000 Make characters for them.

01:46:28.000 They're kind of trying to target a group that they haven't gotten before, I guess.

01:46:32.000 That makes sense.

01:46:33.000 And by ostracizing all of the other people that used to like their comments.

01:46:38.000 But sales are down.

01:46:40.000 So here's what they're thinking.

01:46:41.000 They don't want to be Blockbuster Video.

01:46:43.000 They want to be Netflix.

01:46:44.000 And that means if your sales are dropping, their attitude is like, flip the business, do something else.

01:46:50.000 Even if it's very different.

01:46:52.000 I don't see this working.

01:46:53.000 I mean, I don't.

01:46:55.000 No one's going to buy this stuff.

01:46:56.000 Dora the Diabetic.

01:46:57.000 That's what someone said.

01:47:00.000 That was a great comment.

01:47:01.000 I just randomly saw that on the way through.

01:47:04.000 That was funny.

01:47:04.000 We're instantly banned.

01:47:05.000 We're going to get in trouble now.

01:47:07.000 Alright.

01:47:08.000 Oh, that was funny.

01:47:10.000 Let's grab some of these last few Super Chats and then we're getting close to wrapping up for the day.

01:47:14.000 Oh man.

01:47:15.000 Flew by.

01:47:16.000 St.

01:47:16.000 Miles says the thing about the earthquake is there is no major fault in Utah.

01:47:20.000 Wait, what?

01:47:21.000 I heard that there was.

01:47:22.000 I have a friend who lives in Utah and he's like, yeah, there's like a fault line here.

01:47:26.000 Utah fault line.

01:47:28.000 You ever see that show Big O?

01:47:29.000 No.

01:47:30.000 I don't.

01:47:31.000 I don't remember.

01:47:31.000 It was a long time ago.

01:47:32.000 It used to be on Adult Swim, but wasn't it something like...

01:47:34.000 They realized they were in a simulation, because all of a sudden the simulation, like, erased a bunch of people or something?

01:47:40.000 I can't remember.

01:47:41.000 And I have no idea.

01:47:42.000 Thanos snapped.

01:47:43.000 Thanos snapped?

01:47:44.000 No, but he was like, he piloted, this guy piloted a giant robot for some reason.

01:47:48.000 I don't remember.

01:47:48.000 I have no idea.

01:47:48.000 Something like that.

01:47:49.000 Utah has experienced many earthquakes, large and small, because of its abundance of faults and fault zones.

01:47:54.000 Wow.

01:47:55.000 Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

01:47:55.000 Boom!

01:47:55.000 There you go.

01:47:57.000 Ben Dudley says, sounds like the division is coming true.

01:48:00.000 I would concur.

01:48:01.000 I keep hearing this title, I need to see this film.

01:48:04.000 It's a video game.

01:48:04.000 It's a game.

01:48:05.000 Oh, sorry, my bad.

01:48:06.000 The True Slushie says, what's your guys' favorite activities right now?

01:48:09.000 Skating.

01:48:10.000 Skating, yeah.

01:48:11.000 We've been skating a lot.

01:48:13.000 Magic, I've got this love-hate relationship with it, because you've got to play with other people's decks that they make that could be not fun to play against, but skating.

01:48:23.000 Skating's about you.

01:48:24.000 I landed that double kickflip today, folks.

01:48:26.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:48:27.000 So I've been skating for 20, more than 20 years.

01:48:32.000 I've basically done, like, every flip trick.

01:48:36.000 The one I've never done is a regular laser flip.

01:48:39.000 And so that's a frontside 360 heelflip on flat, board spins 360 degrees, flips in the heel direction.

01:48:44.000 I've never done that.

01:48:45.000 So, you know, basically what I do is every time I go out, every season, every year, I go through the list of, like, every possible trick.

01:48:53.000 And so... That's true.

01:48:54.000 I watch them do it.

01:48:55.000 It's pretty crazy.

01:48:56.000 And sometimes I do more than... My goal is to always do one per day that I haven't done yet.

01:49:01.000 So, when I was younger, it was like, I gotta learn a new trick today.

01:49:03.000 But I've basically done all of them, except for a laser flip, which I actually think I'm getting close to.

01:49:06.000 I might actually be able to pull off, because I nailed that varial heel flip.

01:49:08.000 Yeah, you did.

01:49:09.000 So, today, you nailed the backsmith on the mini.

01:49:12.000 I did.

01:49:13.000 And a double kickflip off the mini into a little mini bank thing we got going on.

01:49:17.000 Yeah, it was good.

01:49:17.000 Yeah, it felt so good.

01:49:18.000 I wish I'd recorded some of that.

01:49:19.000 Well, we'll get to that point soon.

01:49:19.000 It was super cool.

01:49:20.000 We're not ready for that yet.

01:49:21.000 I know.

01:49:22.000 But, you know, the best thing about skateboarding is that you're just, like, in your zone.

01:49:25.000 It's just you.

01:49:25.000 You do your thing.

01:49:26.000 You're trying to improve yourself.

01:49:27.000 I like that.

01:49:28.000 That's what it's all about, man.

01:49:29.000 Yep.

01:49:29.000 It's like real life.

01:49:30.000 Definitely.

01:49:31.000 Tonya Reed says, It's like that in some countries.

01:49:33.000 districts will shut down and everyone even the TP hoarders will be collecting

01:49:36.000 their wiping tools and trash bags because we can't flush from backups of

01:49:40.000 napkins and paper towels it's like that in some countries I remember you can't

01:49:45.000 flush anymore it said they put up signs saying do not flush toilet paper and I

01:49:50.000 was like certainly they must mean if for like blowing your nose right cuz I'm

01:49:53.000 gonna know yeah the garbage bin was full of yeah yeah yeah American sensibilities

01:50:00.000 These are grossed out.

01:50:01.000 Mm-hmm.

01:50:02.000 Well, in Brazil, they have hoses.

01:50:04.000 And what you're supposed to do after you finish is you squat over the drain in the middle of the bathtub and just spritz.

01:50:10.000 I'm not kidding.

01:50:10.000 That's what they do.

01:50:11.000 What a sensitive way to put that.

01:50:12.000 I like that.

01:50:12.000 Spritz.

01:50:13.000 Get cleaned up.

01:50:14.000 That's a fun word.

01:50:15.000 John Power says, Vice News, meet Tim Pool.

01:50:18.000 February 17, 2014.

01:50:20.000 Was just watching this on my other screen.

01:50:22.000 That's a very old video.

01:50:23.000 Yeah, well six years ago. That's right. I'm right before I met you. No, yeah

01:50:27.000 13 that was after right cuz it was yeah, no, I think it was that year actually no we met in 13

01:50:40.000 Bob Bob says all right who forgot to knock wood after saying 2020 would be a good year

01:50:46.000 What was the meme?

01:50:46.000 It's like, 2019 we're sorry for everything we said about you?

01:50:49.000 Yeah.

01:50:50.000 It's been so much worse.

01:50:52.000 Yeah.

01:50:53.000 Mark Robertshaw says, my missus works retail in Australia and everyone has been told to bring hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes and they'll be compensated lol rip retail.

01:51:02.000 Oof.

01:51:04.000 Zivian Flux says Louisiana is starting to pop off with Kung Flu.

01:51:07.000 Mardi Gras in New Orleans was what, about two weeks ago?

01:51:10.000 It's funny.

01:51:11.000 There's some woman claiming that someone in the White House referred to coronavirus as Kung Flu to her face.

01:51:17.000 She tweeted it.

01:51:18.000 And she was like, I wonder what they're saying about it behind my back.

01:51:21.000 And it's like, Kung Flu, that's death, they're calling it.

01:51:23.000 Yeah, probably the same.

01:51:25.000 Why does everyone get so angry by this?

01:51:27.000 I don't get it.

01:51:27.000 And she couldn't name who it was.

01:51:29.000 Of course.

01:51:30.000 President Trump called her.

01:51:30.000 Yeah, everybody was.

01:51:31.000 She called her on it.

01:51:31.000 He's like, uh, who was that?

01:51:33.000 What was the name?

01:51:33.000 She's like, I don't remember their name.

01:51:35.000 No, no, that wasn't the same woman.

01:51:36.000 Oh, it wasn't?

01:51:37.000 It's just stupid fake rumors.

01:51:39.000 Like, they just tweet random nonsense.

01:51:41.000 It's not true.

01:51:42.000 And they're like, and they get retweets.

01:51:43.000 It's just, everything's fake.

01:51:44.000 It's all fake.

01:51:45.000 It's all fake.

01:51:46.000 Everything's a scam.

01:51:47.000 Kevin Alex says, thank you so much for talking about the woofloo every day.

01:51:50.000 It's really helped here.

01:51:51.000 Cool.

01:51:52.000 I mean, that's all that's in the news.

01:51:53.000 Well, yeah.

01:51:54.000 That's all we have.

01:51:56.000 Lucky Jinxer says, Tim, work in a grocery store.

01:51:58.000 It really feels like something momentous.

01:52:00.000 A major change.

01:52:01.000 Do you think this could lead to a major change in the world order, like more isolationist and nationalist?

01:52:05.000 100%.

01:52:06.000 Absolutely.

01:52:08.000 100%.

01:52:09.000 They work at the store?

01:52:10.000 Is that what they said?

01:52:11.000 Yeah.

01:52:11.000 Hey, thank you.

01:52:12.000 Unsung heroes.

01:52:13.000 Yeah.

01:52:13.000 Grocery store workers.

01:52:15.000 The Riddler says, Tim, I believe people out of work need cash, but I fear a hyperinflation if these checks are sent out.

01:52:20.000 Lockdown must only last 30 days.

01:52:22.000 Yeah, hyperinflation for sure.

01:52:25.000 We are borrowing from ourselves if we do this.

01:52:27.000 From our kids?

01:52:29.000 Well, from ourselves.

01:52:29.000 It's only gonna be a couple months.

01:52:31.000 So, I mean, our kids too, for sure.

01:52:33.000 One and a half trillion dollars?

01:52:35.000 That's our kids.

01:52:36.000 What's our national debt?

01:52:37.000 22?

01:52:38.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:52:41.000 Paxton says, if there is an earthquake of nine or higher along the Wasatch Fault, it has a chance of setting off Yellowstone, thus ending humidity as we know it.

01:52:50.000 Yes!

01:52:50.000 Yeah, that's scary.

01:52:51.000 Bring it.

01:52:52.000 Is it time to build the bunkers?

01:52:53.000 We should talk about Yellowstone.

01:52:54.000 Away from Yellowstone?

01:52:56.000 Oh, there's no point.

01:52:57.000 We don't really have time.

01:52:57.000 Why not today?

01:52:58.000 Yellowstone?

01:52:59.000 Yeah.

01:53:01.000 We're all dead.

01:53:01.000 Everyone in the world.

01:53:02.000 Why?

01:53:02.000 The whole world.

01:53:03.000 No, let's talk about it tomorrow.

01:53:04.000 Yeah, but it's because it's gonna put stuff into the atmosphere, right?

01:53:07.000 And it's gonna, like, kill farming and stuff?

01:53:08.000 Yeah, it's gonna cloud out the sun.

01:53:10.000 So build a bunker underground.

01:53:12.000 Wait until it goes away.

01:53:13.000 No, that's what people are doing.

01:53:15.000 Those rich people are doing it.

01:53:17.000 Right.

01:53:17.000 And then you live underground.

01:53:19.000 Oh yeah, I'm planting mushrooms.

01:53:21.000 I'm growing dark chickens.

01:53:23.000 And we'll all be like Gollum, scavenging around in caves and eating mushrooms and licking the walls.

01:53:29.000 With one hair left.

01:53:30.000 Beats being dead, right?

01:53:32.000 I don't know, some things are worse than death, huh?

01:53:34.000 Yes.

01:53:35.000 Sean R- uh, Ryu NG Matai- Matt- Mattowy.

01:53:40.000 Looks like Steven Universe characters on steroids, and then they- and then they fuse and call

01:53:45.000 themselves Snowflake Safe Space.

01:53:48.000 Yep.

01:53:49.000 Yeah.

01:53:49.000 I says, Daniel Kibblesmith is the writer, I understand now.

01:53:52.000 Kibblesmith.

01:53:53.000 Kibblesmith.

01:53:54.000 Such a weird name.

01:53:55.000 It's so random.

01:53:56.000 It really does, when I think of that name, it reminds me of like a pastel colored room with like... Is that an actual last name?

01:54:04.000 Kibblesmith.

01:54:05.000 It reminds me of dog food.

01:54:06.000 I don't believe it's real, you know why?

01:54:07.000 Why?

01:54:08.000 Because last names are derivative of what people would do for work.

01:54:12.000 Okay.

01:54:13.000 Kibble.

01:54:14.000 Yeah.

01:54:15.000 Did they make dog food?

01:54:16.000 Yeah, is this the guy whose family is making puppy chow or something?

01:54:19.000 Are you like a pool maker?

01:54:21.000 Pool?

01:54:22.000 Cleaning pools?

01:54:23.000 Actually, my last name is Dutch Vanderpool.

01:54:26.000 Oh, Vanderpool.

01:54:26.000 And they dropped the Vander for some reason.

01:54:29.000 Mine is Crazy Quiggler.

01:54:33.000 It's German.

01:54:34.000 Sounds German.

01:54:34.000 Squiggler.

01:54:35.000 I love it.

01:54:36.000 What?

01:54:36.000 Smith?

01:54:36.000 Squiggler.

01:54:37.000 You know why so many people are named Smith?

01:54:39.000 No.

01:54:40.000 You know why there's so many people named Smith?

01:54:42.000 Because they couldn't pronounce the names when they came over?

01:54:44.000 Because in the wars in Europe, the people who wouldn't be sent to war and the people who would be spared were the blacksmiths.

01:54:51.000 So when an invading force came in, they would spare the smiths because they needed weapons.

01:54:56.000 And when the war started, no one would send out the smiths because they needed weapons.

01:55:00.000 So everyone else died.

01:55:02.000 And the smiths lived.

01:55:03.000 The smiths survived.

01:55:04.000 Yep.

01:55:05.000 That makes sense.

01:55:06.000 Crazy, right?

01:55:08.000 I'm peaceful, man.

01:55:08.000 I'm peaceful.

01:55:08.000 Until you tell me what to do.

01:55:09.000 And then it's on!

01:55:10.000 Donut Steel.

01:55:11.000 Burt Bargo says, I bet Adam could beat up Kibble Smith no problem.

01:55:15.000 Yeah.

01:55:16.000 I mean, yeah, probably.

01:55:17.000 Bring it on, Kibble Smith.

01:55:18.000 I don't know why you'd want to.

01:55:19.000 I got no beef with the guy.

01:55:20.000 I just think he wrote some dumb characters.

01:55:21.000 Bro.

01:55:22.000 Nah, nah.

01:55:23.000 I'm peaceful, man.

01:55:24.000 I'm peaceful.

01:55:25.000 Yeah, well, what?

01:55:26.000 Until you tell me what to do.

01:55:27.000 That's right.

01:55:28.000 And then it's on.

01:55:29.000 I got no issue if we end up, like, I don't like this guy's work.

01:55:34.000 It's nothing about him personally, you know?

01:55:36.000 So I'll make fun of him or whatever, but, you know, in the end,

01:55:39.000 end if like I'm sure if we had a burger together it'd be no big deal.

01:55:41.000 Yeah.

01:55:42.000 Unless he gets really offended and he's a snowflake.

01:55:44.000 I don't know.

01:55:45.000 He might.

01:55:45.000 Because some of these people they can't handle it.

01:55:46.000 Unless he is a snowflake.

01:55:48.000 The term snowflake and not his superhero.

01:55:50.000 Character.

01:55:51.000 Yeah.

01:55:51.000 Snowflake.

01:55:53.000 St. Miles, thanks for the...

01:55:59.000 Is that a vomit emoji?

01:56:00.000 Looks like it.

01:56:01.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:56:02.000 Because of the marble thing.

01:56:03.000 Fordrin says, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the outbreak, one of my favorite lines

01:56:05.000 from the game Pathologic 2, a game, a pandemic released last May.

01:56:15.000 Yes, I did.

01:56:16.000 Yep.

01:56:17.000 A while ago.

01:56:18.000 Mm-hmm.

01:56:19.000 Plantation Sensation says, B- is to be a small child in an adult body.

01:56:21.000 Is that...

01:56:50.000 Marvel Comics has gone down the toilet so far.

01:56:53.000 It's through the sewer and in the waste treatment plant.

01:56:58.000 They've been hiring low-tier internet artists barely able to draw.

01:57:01.000 Look up the new Squirrel Girl.

01:57:03.000 Oh, no!

01:57:04.000 I don't want to, but I will.

01:57:12.000 Let's see.

01:57:13.000 What is she?

01:57:14.000 She can talk to squirrels.

01:57:17.000 I wanted to say a dirty joke, but I had to stop myself.

01:57:22.000 I'm pretty sure she's got fast reflexes, a bushy tail, and she can talk to squirrels.

01:57:27.000 She has defeated Thanos, Galactus, and Doctor Doom.

01:57:31.000 But she's like unglued, right?

01:57:34.000 Like a joke?

01:57:34.000 Yes.

01:57:36.000 She's meant to be silly on purpose, and her comics are goofy and silly, and she's defeated Thanos and Galactus.

01:57:44.000 Galactus, the world eater.

01:57:45.000 She's defeated Galactus.

01:57:46.000 That's amazing.

01:57:47.000 I read it.

01:57:48.000 I can't remember exactly what it was, but she, like, convinced him of something.

01:57:51.000 Shove nuts in his mouth?

01:57:52.000 No, I don't know, but Squirrel Girl's funny.

01:57:54.000 Squirrel Girl's not woke.

01:57:55.000 Squirrel Girl is silly.

01:57:56.000 I'm like, great, they're going to ruin her by making her woke then.

01:57:59.000 I think they made her fat.

01:58:00.000 I think they made her like, yeah, I think they made her like chunky.

01:58:04.000 Oh, Squirrel Girl.

01:58:23.000 Paxton says, I'm mad they have a mask resembling Darth Revan's mask on the cover.

01:58:27.000 How dare you stand where he stood?

01:58:30.000 Super Grimmy says, please get Serpentsaw and Laowai, ADV China channel crew, on the stream soon.

01:58:37.000 They have a lot of knowledge about China and the current situation.

01:58:39.000 Extremely relevant.

01:58:41.000 Yeah, I'm down, but can we, like, is that, they're in LA, aren't they?

01:58:45.000 We can't fly them out.

01:58:47.000 So right now we're not doing guests.

01:58:49.000 Yeah, we actually canceled.

01:58:50.000 Yeah.

01:58:51.000 Rilo says possible cure for coronavirus found.

01:58:53.000 We've heard that.

01:59:04.000 Anyone else dealing with this?

01:59:06.000 I saw something saying it was the whole East Coast.

01:59:08.000 No!

01:59:09.000 What's Spectrum?

01:59:10.000 Internet.

01:59:10.000 Oh, okay.

01:59:11.000 Is it an internet provider?

01:59:15.000 There will be.

01:59:16.000 We won't be around.

01:59:17.000 Nope.

01:59:18.000 On the show, I mean.

01:59:20.000 Actually, I'll tell you what, there's one website that could go down and it would result in pandemonium.

01:59:25.000 What's that?

01:59:25.000 Pornhub.

01:59:31.000 Angry.

01:59:31.000 Pent up.

01:59:32.000 They're being kept calm and tired and... Sated.

01:59:37.000 What did you say?

01:59:37.000 Sated?

01:59:38.000 Sated.

01:59:38.000 Yep.

01:59:39.000 And they're lying on their couches with their eyes half-closed, glazed over, and exhausted.

01:59:43.000 But if that sight goes down, there's gonna be rage increasing.

01:59:48.000 Then they're gonna be in the streets.

01:59:50.000 Okay.

01:59:50.000 Thank you, Tim.

02:01:03.000 No, Amazon's done.

02:01:05.000 They're not delivering.

02:01:06.000 Oh, I thought the instant cart was still kind of a work in progress.

02:01:09.000 Oh, I don't know.

02:01:10.000 Yeah, I don't know.

02:01:37.000 I love those dudes.

02:01:38.000 Totally.

02:01:39.000 Griffin, the internet is saying that hydroxychloroquine, placanil, knocks out the COVID-19 virus.

02:01:46.000 Yeah, that's what they're thinking.

02:01:47.000 Benito Martinez says, Tim, it's not the end of the world, it's just the day some of us make our Fallout character.

02:02:08.000 Yeah.

02:02:09.000 John Cooper says you can Skype in guests.

02:02:11.000 It's really difficult and spotty.

02:02:13.000 It's so annoying.

02:02:13.000 And if the internet cuts out or like right now we're all in the same space with one internet connection.

02:02:19.000 There's delays.

02:02:21.000 STFU says search Daniel Kibblesmith on CNN, extreme soy boy.

02:02:25.000 You can see the man.

02:03:14.000 our wits end on this.

02:03:16.000 The show is coming to a close, so we're going to wrap it up here.

02:03:19.000 But I will say, make sure you hit that like button if you haven't already, because that really does help, as we're about to sign off.

02:03:24.000 Make sure you follow us here and here and wherever the point is.

02:03:28.000 Follow me!

02:03:29.000 You could tweet at me.

02:03:30.000 Actually, someone tweeted at me this morning.

02:03:32.000 That video of the guy collapsing.

02:03:35.000 It was our main story.

02:03:36.000 So, you know, if you tweet at me.

02:03:38.000 He doesn't go on Twitter much.

02:03:40.000 Well, he does.

02:03:41.000 I ignore my mentions.

02:03:41.000 He doesn't check his mentions.

02:03:43.000 But I check mine.

02:03:44.000 I don't have that many followers.

02:03:46.000 Hit me up.

02:03:47.000 Hit me up.

02:03:47.000 If you want to suggest stories, definitely tweet them to Adam, who is watching and interacting.

02:03:52.000 I'm at the point where I just ignore.

02:03:53.000 Because if I go to my mentions, it's basically just... Too much.

02:03:56.000 People screaming.

02:03:57.000 Yeah, I love jumping in the comments to talk to you guys.

02:03:59.000 You guys are awesome.

02:04:01.000 Crazy, but awesome.

02:04:02.000 Also, if you haven't joined, click the join button underneath the video or go to youtube.com slash TimCastIRL slash join so you get access to the full podcast.

02:04:11.000 If you ever miss a live show, we post them in the community section to members only between 7 or 8 a.m.

02:04:27.000 So which means, if you're subscribed, you will have it, you can watch it for free, and then afterwards it goes members only.

02:04:32.000 With that being said, there are two more Super Chats and then we will sign off.

02:04:36.000 Anakin Skywalker says, Fantasy Star is better than Final Fantasy.

02:04:40.000 It was a good game.

02:04:41.000 Was it?

02:04:42.000 But I disagree.

02:04:44.000 And Clan Baz says, please recommend people download movies at night to watch the next day.

02:04:48.000 Less outages.
