Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - DC Rewrites Hero To Gain Super Powers From BLM Protest w- Ryan Long

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:04.000 you you

00:00:33.000 you know if you listen to this show you've heard me talk about one of my

00:00:38.000 favorite superheroes especially growing up watching the old WB and that's static

00:00:43.000 shock You wanna know why I like Static Shock as a character?

00:00:46.000 Because it really did tackle social justice issues, but it was like legit...

00:00:50.000 Old-school good liberalism about, hey, be kind to your neighbors, respect people, you know, live and let live and all that stuff.

00:00:56.000 And I really liked the story.

00:00:58.000 It was the WB version.

00:00:59.000 It wasn't the same as the comic book version.

00:01:00.000 For those that aren't familiar, it's basically some kid who gets bullied into joining a gang he didn't want to join.

00:01:06.000 He gets forced down to these docks.

00:01:07.000 There's a gang war and then, long story short, there's a chemical explosion and all these gangbangers get superpowers and they're all basically villains.

00:01:14.000 But he was this kid who didn't want to be there and was mixed up.

00:01:16.000 He becomes a superhero.

00:01:18.000 Well, In the latest rewrite for the series, it's now the most absurd storyline ever, he's attending a Black Lives Matter protest! 0.99

00:01:25.000 And the police fire tear gas at the crowd for, like, no reason.

00:01:29.000 And the tear gas just instantly gives everybody superpowers.

00:01:32.000 Welcome to the era of social justice and comic books.

00:01:35.000 And I'm sorry, you know, like, maybe we should have opened with some, like, very serious political commentary.

00:01:40.000 But this is personal, because I've talked about how much I really like Static Shock.

00:01:44.000 So we're going to talk about this one?

00:01:47.000 I'm going to get all triggered. 0.85

00:01:48.000 But we got a bunch of other really ridiculous stories.

00:01:51.000 We got, what was it, Amazon claimed that their logo looked too much like Hitler. 0.70

00:01:56.000 Yes.

00:01:56.000 And so they had to change it.

00:01:58.000 And it was literally a cardboard box.

00:02:01.000 Again, welcome to the social justice era of 2020.

00:02:04.000 And apparently now Bill Burr is getting slammed because he called Gina Carano nice.

00:02:08.000 They're claiming like it was this big defense of Gina Carano.

00:02:11.000 It's like, okay, these people are so desperate for some kind of weird angle on all this stuff.

00:02:16.000 We're going to get into it.

00:02:17.000 And I figured that the cultural commentary stuff is probably better today anyway, because we got Ryan Long hanging out, and he's gonna make fun of everybody.

00:02:24.000 We do have Ryan Long in the building.

00:02:28.000 So, with the Amazon logo, looking like Hitler. 0.83

00:02:31.000 I don't know if you knew this, Tim, but originally Google, their original name for the site was Goobles.

00:02:40.000 I did not know that.

00:02:41.000 I was like, where's he going with this?

00:02:43.000 Ah, he's already writing jokes.

00:02:44.000 Oh, wonderful.

00:02:47.000 I can't believe they haven't banned you from just like every social media platform.

00:02:50.000 And did you know, I don't know if you know this, but Social Justice, they wanted to change Himler in history books to be Herler.

00:02:57.000 Okay, that makes sense.

00:03:01.000 I can't afford that one.

00:03:02.000 Did you write that one a long time ago?

00:03:04.000 No.

00:03:05.000 I'm off the dome, my friend.

00:03:07.000 Off my non-beanie dome.

00:03:10.000 And they've changed Himmler to Hurler.

00:03:14.000 When you're talking about the Holocaust, and don't question the numbers. 0.94

00:03:18.000 You know about the Sokol squared hoax, right?

00:03:20.000 The what?

00:03:21.000 The Sokol squared hoax? 0.78

00:03:23.000 No.

00:03:23.000 Where you had these three academics basically took a chapter out of Mein Kampf and then changed the proper nouns to be like feminist.

00:03:32.000 Yeah.

00:03:32.000 And it got submitted.

00:03:33.000 Nazis can be girls. 1.00

00:03:35.000 No, but like, it didn't say that.

00:03:36.000 It said like, the patriarchy is bad and here's why.

00:03:39.000 And then they submitted it to a journal and I think that one got approved, right?

00:03:42.000 Yeah, it did.

00:03:42.000 Yeah.

00:03:43.000 That was those three, Bogosian and Lindsay.

00:03:46.000 Oh, that was one of those guys' papers when they were messing with- Oh yeah, I do remember that, yeah. 0.99

00:03:50.000 So we're gonna have to talk a whole lot about the Amazon logo, and the stupid world we live in, and I don't know, they might ban us, whatever, because we're talking about Amazon and the stupid things they've done.

00:04:01.000 Well yeah, you were going on your rant about Mein Kampf, and before we started, Tim goes, this episode's gonna be extra based. 0.89

00:04:07.000 Yes, no no no, hold on.

00:04:09.000 There was an Australian publisher that banned Jordan Peterson's book, but not Mein Kampf. 1.00

00:04:13.000 Like, that's how stupid everybody is. 0.99

00:04:16.000 All right, but we'll say you got all these awesome jokes written down. 0.99

00:04:19.000 No, I wrote the topics down that you told me to talk about.

00:04:23.000 He's prepared.

00:04:25.000 This was five seconds ago.

00:04:26.000 I didn't come with these papers.

00:04:27.000 I picked them up.

00:04:30.000 It's like a picture of a cat.

00:04:31.000 Well, you said eight things we're going to talk about.

00:04:33.000 If we do, if we do.

00:04:34.000 It's a very professional operation that we have here.

00:04:37.000 Tim, where are we at on the Civil War?

00:04:39.000 Because last time I came here, you said, you know, remember?

00:04:42.000 You were like, the Civil War is happening.

00:04:44.000 And then you told me, you go, what are you going to do when the Civil War happens?

00:04:48.000 And I go, well, maybe I'll go back to Canada.

00:04:50.000 And you go, well, you won't be able to go back to Canada.

00:04:52.000 And then you said... Now you can't go back to Canada.

00:04:56.000 And a bunch of people strung to the Capitol building.

00:04:58.000 That's true.

00:04:59.000 Is the Civil War still happening?

00:05:02.000 Yeah, absolutely, man.

00:05:03.000 I just think people assume civil war means like two people in uniforms marching towards each other.

00:05:08.000 Right now you've got a call for a commission.

00:05:10.000 They're calling it the 1-6 Commission to track down all of those responsible for inciting the insurrection.

00:05:16.000 You've got an article today, I'm sorry, a couple days ago, NBC saying Republican talk of secession has become serious and academics are warning that this time it's for real.

00:05:26.000 Texas just introduced a bill that will allow Texas to secede from the Union and the GOP of Texas endorsed it.

00:05:32.000 Yeah.

00:05:33.000 So, look, I always say this.

00:05:34.000 Maybe it won't happen.

00:05:36.000 Maybe it just stops right now.

00:05:37.000 Yeah, but you have the bunker.

00:05:39.000 Because I did leave, like, I'm very susceptible.

00:05:40.000 The same reason why I was talking to your crew and they were like, dude, you need to get your website more secure.

00:05:44.000 And I was, five seconds ago, I'm like, I need to hire a team.

00:05:46.000 Like, I've literally left Tim's house before being like, I need a gun.

00:05:49.000 I need a bunker.

00:05:51.000 He got me jazzed up, dude.

00:05:53.000 I was telling other people.

00:05:54.000 I went back to New York.

00:05:55.000 I'm telling people, I'm like, they're coming for us, man.

00:05:57.000 What are they saying now after the storming of the Capitol?

00:06:00.000 Like the people you were talking to, you're like, Tim was saying this stuff.

00:06:04.000 Are they like, whoa, what's going on?

00:06:06.000 Well, I think that most people in New York probably take where those guys were bad news and we're glad we got the orange guy out of the power, right? 0.97

00:06:15.000 But as far as whether the Civil War is happening?

00:06:18.000 Well, so, it's fifth-generational warfare.

00:06:21.000 It's information, it's propaganda, it's manipulation, but there is low-tier violence across the country.

00:06:27.000 Look, there's just been more than one instance where, like I was saying, people assume it's going to be people in uniforms marching towards each other.

00:06:33.000 That's like 200 years ago, you know what I mean?

00:06:36.000 We're not that kind of people anyway, that's not what happens.

00:06:38.000 So what happens when the civil—what are examples of the things that they do?

00:06:41.000 Move your bank accounts, delete you from the internet, that kind of stuff?

00:06:44.000 Strip you of resources.

00:06:44.000 Yes.

00:06:45.000 Information.

00:06:46.000 So, like, this is actually based on academic research that came out of UC San Diego, where they talked about how it will be removing people's ability to speak so that the political narratives are dominated by only one faction.

00:06:57.000 Yeah.

00:06:57.000 And that way political... So, if you have two factions, two parent factions that are fighting over control of a government, and you strip one of the factions' ability to communicate, then the only thing... You basically isolate each individual so they can't form any kind of cohesive response.

00:07:12.000 Yeah.

00:07:13.000 So it perhaps, you know, I would say war might lead people to thinking like in the past, but there was a Princeton professor who said, we are in a cold civil war.

00:07:23.000 And this guy's a Democrat.

00:07:24.000 I think, yeah, there's a couple of different civil wars going, or a couple of different cold wars happening in unison probably right now.

00:07:24.000 He's a lefty.

00:07:30.000 It's true.

00:07:31.000 It's a war within a war within a war.

00:07:33.000 Gender war. 1.00

00:07:35.000 Well, all this stuff is part of like the same idea.

00:07:35.000 Yeah.

00:07:37.000 But again, I think the problem is when you have midwits, you know what a midwit is? 1.00

00:07:41.000 Yes.

00:07:42.000 When you have these people hear the phrase civil war, they're like smart enough to engage, but they're not smart enough to understand the future.

00:07:50.000 There's also probably an element of when you use those words, you get to dismiss the fact that it's happening the same way that they do with conspiracies.

00:08:01.000 You know, it's always like, oh, Pete, they think that there's these pedophiles in the pizza shop or whatever, you know, and then people go all these crazy and you're like, I mean, they've had nine pedophile conspiracies that have got uncovered recently.

00:08:11.000 I mean, Epstein, it's really, it's really interesting.

00:08:14.000 There's like, you know, that Epstein is what makes people kind of go crazy when they see this and they want answers and they don't get them.

00:08:20.000 We'll get into all this.

00:08:21.000 It's a very long introduction for you.

00:08:21.000 Yes.

00:08:25.000 Let's do, we gotta introduce the other people.

00:08:28.000 I'd rather not introduce him.

00:08:32.000 It is not your show.

00:08:33.000 I'd rather talk about me.

00:08:34.000 It's his show.

00:08:37.000 I'm here from New York.

00:08:38.000 It's very busy right now.

00:08:39.000 It's Saturday night.

00:08:40.000 It's not Saturday.

00:08:41.000 It's Tuesday, Sunday morning.

00:08:43.000 Guys, we're here with my co-host, Ian Crossland.

00:08:46.000 Thank you, Ryan.

00:08:47.000 It's good to be here.

00:08:48.000 If you want to super chat, any questions for me or Ian.

00:08:51.000 I want to talk about social justice infiltrating comics, because I think maybe Captain America was like social justice of the 40s.

00:08:57.000 Yeah, it was all about fighting Nazis and war propaganda.

00:09:00.000 Is that the history of comics altogether is just propaganda?

00:09:04.000 I mean, everything is, right?

00:09:05.000 Also, I'm excited to talk about the war within the war within the war.

00:09:08.000 The Cold War.

00:09:09.000 The war for your mind and your soul that's global.

00:09:12.000 Chinese, maybe, and the American government.

00:09:14.000 The national fight.

00:09:16.000 And then the soul.

00:09:18.000 Your own personal war against your neighbor.

00:09:20.000 Whether or not you're engaging in that, Brian.

00:09:22.000 I'm in a personal war against my neighbors.

00:09:24.000 Listen, the Gina Carano thing is a really good example of this, you know, fifth generational warfare. 1.00

00:09:30.000 It's not the biggest thing in the world.

00:09:31.000 It's just a grain of sand in the heat.

00:09:32.000 The bigger conflict is probably at law and stuff like that.

00:09:35.000 But Gina Carano posted an image saying, don't demonize your neighbors. 1.00

00:09:38.000 She didn't compare anybody to Republicans or to Jews or anything like that.

00:09:41.000 And they just nuked her. 1.00

00:09:43.000 But we'll talk about it.

00:09:45.000 Lydia's pressing buttons. 1.00

00:09:46.000 Yeah, we got a script.

00:09:46.000 This guy's ready to go off.

00:09:49.000 I don't want to get in Ryan's way.

00:09:50.000 I'm afraid I will get run over, but I'm here in the corner pushing buttons as well.

00:09:53.000 You work for me now, Lydia.

00:09:54.000 Yeah, it's true.

00:09:55.000 I do.

00:09:55.000 I have a new boss.

00:09:56.000 Same as the old boss, it turns out.

00:09:57.000 I have a super chat from one of our people.

00:10:00.000 Tim, how many times have you said the gamer word?

00:10:03.000 The gamer word?

00:10:04.000 Gamer gate?

00:10:05.000 Gamer gate?

00:10:06.000 Google gamer word.

00:10:07.000 Gamer word.

00:10:08.000 Oh, oh, oh.

00:10:10.000 Are you talking about PewDiePie?

00:10:12.000 You're trying to get us in trouble.

00:10:14.000 You know.

00:10:14.000 Okay.

00:10:15.000 All right.

00:10:15.000 Okay.

00:10:16.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I'll just tell you, I'll just tell you what, I'll just tell you what, go to TimCast.com, become a member.

00:10:23.000 Cause I can only imagine what's going to happen when we do the exclusive, you know, behind the paywall segment where Ryan can say whatever he wants.

00:10:30.000 He's going to get his ban from everything, even though it's behind the paywall.

00:10:33.000 All the gamer words.

00:10:34.000 It's that.

00:10:35.000 Oh no.

00:10:36.000 Ryan.

00:10:37.000 There's more than one?

00:10:38.000 The gamer words?

00:10:39.000 We're going to find out.

00:10:40.000 All right, all right, all right.

00:10:42.000 I gotta read the story.

00:10:43.000 This one is near and dear to my heart.

00:10:45.000 When I saw the story I was like, I don't want to talk about comics.

00:10:48.000 Then I read it and I was like, how dare they?

00:10:52.000 Okay, first I was just like, all right, well, you know, it's a modern retelling of a comic book story.

00:11:04.000 Black Lives Matter can be relevant to this.

00:11:06.000 And then I read the panels they included, and I'm just like, this is really bad.

00:11:11.000 It's really bad.

00:11:13.000 So, uh, I don't know if I need to necessarily read the, uh, I'll read a little bit.

00:11:17.000 They say a recent retcon to the origin story of the DC comic superhero Static, real identity Virgil Hawkins, has changed the inciting incident that grants him superpowers from a gang war to a Black Lives Matter protest.

00:11:29.000 Okay, there is so much wrong with this.

00:11:31.000 I'll need to actually read the comic to give you a better breakdown, but let me just explain something.

00:11:37.000 In the original comic, he's basically, he's a good kid, but he's being bullied.

00:11:42.000 He gets a gun, and he shows up at this gang war, and he wants to take out his bully. 0.97

00:11:46.000 He wants to kill his bully. 0.97

00:11:47.000 But he decides he can't do it, and he starts crying, and he throws the gun into the water. 0.89

00:11:51.000 But then the police, seeing a gang war, you know, people are trying to kill each other, fire an experimental tear gas, which caused some crazy reaction.

00:11:59.000 They call it the Big Bang, and then all of a sudden, all these gang bangers get superpowers.

00:12:02.000 Well, guess what?

00:12:03.000 These are not good people, right?

00:12:05.000 Turns out they become supervillains.

00:12:07.000 But this kid who was down there, who actually was an okay kid, just mixed up in some bad stuff, ends up becoming a hero.

00:12:12.000 In the later version, the more recent version, they're all still pretty old, the WB cartoon, Static Shock, he basically gets pressured into joining a gang he doesn't want to join.

00:12:22.000 So I thought that was a really awesome way to deal with issues that...

00:12:25.000 I know exactly what that was like growing up on the south side of Chicago.

00:12:28.000 I knew people who were surrounded by people in gangs who were like, are you joining or not?

00:12:32.000 You have, you know, you have to join.

00:12:34.000 You live in our area and it's called V'ed. 1.00

00:12:36.000 You get V'ed and you get violated. 0.88

00:12:38.000 And so what they do is they would beat the crap out of these kids who were like 14 or 15, force them to join gangs. 0.94

00:12:42.000 One dude went to prison because what they want to do is they want to get a minor, give him a gun and say, go and kill our enemies because you'll get out in four years because they can't hold you until you're 18.

00:12:51.000 So when I saw this show, I was like, wow, that's that's clever, right?

00:12:55.000 It actually gets to, you know, like real issues that I think affect young people.

00:12:59.000 They don't want to get mixed up in this stuff.

00:13:01.000 It addressed social justice issues in a really cool way.

00:13:03.000 And it actually told an interesting story.

00:13:05.000 There's a chemical explosion.

00:13:07.000 The people who are there happen to be mostly gangbangers, mostly become supervillains.

00:13:12.000 Now this kid who gets mixed up in it, he's like, I didn't wanna be here in the first place, I'm gonna do good.

00:13:16.000 I'm gonna try and be better.

00:13:18.000 My question now is, in the new version, they're all at a Black Lives Matter protest, right?

00:13:23.000 And for no reason, the police start shooting them with tear gas.

00:13:27.000 So in this comic, the cop says, you know, who do they think they are?

00:13:31.000 Turn around and get back to school or be arrested for truancy.

00:13:34.000 And then someone yells, stop killing innocent people and we will.

00:13:38.000 Someone holding a sign that says, she was sleeping.

00:13:41.000 Fine then.

00:13:41.000 Let them fly, says the cop, as they start shooting this tear gas at the crowd.

00:13:45.000 Almost instantly, one dude's skin starts melting off, and the cop is like, is that kid's face melting?

00:13:52.000 And then all of a sudden, they all have superpowers.

00:13:54.000 So like, this is the story.

00:13:55.000 The cops fire tear gas at a random group of Black Lives Matter protesters.

00:13:59.000 They all have superpowers.

00:14:00.000 I got a question about this.

00:14:02.000 Where do the villains come from?

00:14:03.000 Well, I guess that'd be the police in this scenario.

00:14:05.000 Sting, Copeland, all of them.

00:14:08.000 I mean, they are portraying the cops as the bad guys.

00:14:11.000 But what I mean is, the cops in the comic are all wearing gas masks.

00:14:11.000 It's gotta be, right?

00:14:16.000 In the original version, it was gangbangers getting gassed.

00:14:20.000 And so, naturally, many of these people are not good people become villains.

00:14:22.000 Well, what do they say?

00:14:23.000 Where do they say the villains do come from?

00:14:25.000 I don't know, it just says, he's like, I got powers, but hold on, here's the funny thing, he says, here's what it says, he goes, I don't know what the first panel is, it's just him waking up saying, which made me stronger, stronger than I could ever imagine, then electricity burst from his eyes, now I could get revenge on all the bullies who picked on me, who pick on everybody, but it turns out they have powers too.

00:14:47.000 And it's three white dudes, and it's like blonde hair, blue eyes, And they're bullies.

00:14:50.000 One guy's, like, shirt's ripping. 0.73

00:14:52.000 One guy's fist is on fire.

00:14:52.000 He's all ripped.

00:14:53.000 Were they at the protest, too?

00:14:55.000 And I'm just like... Essentially three Biff from Back to the Future. 0.96

00:14:58.000 Yes, exactly.

00:14:58.000 But does this mean they were also protesting for Black Lives Matter?

00:15:01.000 Yeah, why were they there?

00:15:02.000 Oh, because they wouldn't be there, like, protesting against it.

00:15:04.000 Oh, yeah, maybe, yeah.

00:15:06.000 Maybe that's it.

00:15:07.000 They were there, you know.

00:15:09.000 They needed Antifa there.

00:15:11.000 They were also violent protesters that then became villains.

00:15:14.000 But instead they framed the cops.

00:15:15.000 They had all bullies lives matters on the show. 0.53

00:15:18.000 I wonder if the angle they're going for is that the bullies are bad guys and they're like, we're going to rob this bank! 0.94

00:15:24.000 And then he's like, you were at the Black Lives Matter protest too, but you're a villain. 0.97

00:15:26.000 Well, well, hold on.

00:15:27.000 We may be villains, but we all agree, black lives matter.

00:15:30.000 That's just implied.

00:15:31.000 So that's the angle they're going for.

00:15:31.000 Right.

00:15:33.000 Well, of course the villains were there.

00:15:34.000 Even the villains agree.

00:15:36.000 Yeah, it's almost like they chose this topic, but it was so sensitive that they had to sort of illogically decide kind of the rest of the plotline.

00:15:44.000 It's a train wreck.

00:15:46.000 I should have expected that, you know, this is the angle they would go, but it really does feel like cheap.

00:15:52.000 I'm not trying to be mean to Black Lives Matter or anything.

00:15:54.000 I mean, you know, we've talked about them quite a bit.

00:15:55.000 I've been critical over the riots.

00:15:57.000 But, like, one of the biggest problems with Star Wars latest iterations and, like, Captain Marvel and a lot of these new comics is that it's just really cheap writing.

00:16:08.000 It's not clever.

00:16:09.000 It's not good.

00:16:09.000 It's not interesting.

00:16:10.000 It's just really obvious.

00:16:11.000 Like, it's a dude sitting there with his eyes half closed, and he's like, I don't know, is that a Black Lives Matter protest or something?

00:16:16.000 Just write it down and sell it, whatever.

00:16:17.000 You know, like, it used to be that Whenever you're getting propaganda, period, the hope is that it's good enough that you'll take your propaganda.

00:16:27.000 Like, I'll be watching certain shows and you can kind of tell when it's really getting into that stuff and they're trying to sell you something.

00:16:32.000 You go, okay. 0.97

00:16:33.000 And then there's another one where the show sucks and you're like, hey, there's 12 characters and 11 of them are gay. 0.99

00:16:38.000 And you're like, this isn't good enough for how much you're shoving this down my face. 0.97

00:16:42.000 So I think the problem is, yeah, it's like anything in any art, or songs, you know, anything you're listening to, it's like, you get to give me a teaspoon of propaganda per good amount of entertainment.

00:16:53.000 And then I think that they are tipping the scales where the propaganda levels are out of the ballpark.

00:17:00.000 I bet the argument from the left will be the original Static Shock cartoon was very much social justice-y.

00:17:07.000 But it was the liberal kind.

00:17:09.000 I mean, philosophically liberal.

00:17:12.000 Where it was just, hey man, don't be mean to somebody for no reason.

00:17:14.000 Don't be racist.

00:17:16.000 Now it's just like, this just seems like, what do they call it?

00:17:20.000 They call it rainbow washing when you just make something, you know, LGBTQ to sell a product. 0.99

00:17:25.000 It's kind of like social justice wash and they're like, Oh, that's static.

00:17:28.000 So I think there's probably so much logistical things too.

00:17:31.000 It's the same thing that happened with You know recently we were talking about even this is on Amazon, but I'm sure you guys cover like potato head and all that stuff But it's like they basically were like, oh There's an easy way to kind of get clicks and this your new advertising campaign comes in and they go Yo, all you have to do is this but then now even on that side they go Hey, you didn't do it right and then the other side gets mad at them so I think in a lot of ways the the like easy bucks to be made off social justice are becoming harder and harder, so

00:17:57.000 You know what I mean?

00:17:58.000 They're like, oh, we'll do this.

00:17:59.000 Everyone will like it.

00:18:00.000 You got extra extra virgin olive oil.

00:18:02.000 You got extra virgin olive oil and you got virgin and you got olive oil.

00:18:05.000 And so it's like the very last drop.

00:18:07.000 Yeah.

00:18:07.000 They're trying to squeeze out the last drop of money that you can get from, you know, saying you've got the right opinions.

00:18:13.000 So I think when you do this, it's like, I think that you probably end up making a lot of decisions and choices based on things other than what makes sense for your plot, probably.

00:18:23.000 Have you guys seen the new Craft movie?

00:18:26.000 No.

00:18:27.000 It's called The Craft, right?

00:18:28.000 No, I think you've talked about it.

00:18:29.000 Yeah.

00:18:29.000 Oh, The Witches?

00:18:30.000 Yeah, The Witches.

00:18:31.000 Bro, if you want material, you should watch The Craft.

00:18:34.000 Yeah, I'm progressive.

00:18:35.000 I only support male witches because I think that... Well, you'll love it because there's one in the movie.

00:18:40.000 Yeah, of course.

00:18:42.000 A spoiler alert for anybody who plans on seeing this movie. 0.99

00:18:44.000 There's a bully and they cast a spell to turn him gay, I guess. 0.97

00:18:47.000 I think that's what happens. 1.00

00:18:49.000 And then he gets murdered for being gay. 0.99

00:18:50.000 Or they didn't cast a spell and he's like, it was a spell. 0.96

00:18:53.000 His girlfriend's like, what happened? 0.98

00:18:55.000 He's freaking witches, man. 0.98

00:18:57.000 Why are you blowing a dude? 0.99

00:18:59.000 Have you heard of witches?

00:19:03.000 Now everybody who's listening will have a clever excuse if they ever need to use one.

00:19:06.000 No, no, but... Ah, witches! 1.00

00:19:09.000 Dad, it was the friggin... Didn't you see the witches? 0.99

00:19:12.000 It was a spell.

00:19:12.000 It's fine.

00:19:14.000 He gets killed. 1.00

00:19:15.000 But his dad's a witch. 0.99

00:19:16.000 Yeah. 0.97

00:19:17.000 His dad's a male witch. 0.99

00:19:19.000 Yeah.

00:19:19.000 So, anyway, the witches, like, break into his house, and then, like, they steal some of his, you know, man... What should I call it?

00:19:28.000 Reproductive fluids, and then cast a spell on him to make him nice, and then he, like, becomes a gay, I guess. 0.99

00:19:34.000 So then his dad has to kill him or something. 0.97

00:19:36.000 The whole movie, it's not a movie.

00:19:38.000 Yeah, I mean, fair enough. 1.00

00:19:39.000 Your dad does have to kill you. 1.00

00:19:40.000 It goes without saying. 1.00

00:19:42.000 The movie is basically just like a woke PSA.

00:19:47.000 And I'm watching it like waiting for a story to happen.

00:19:49.000 It's not there.

00:19:50.000 Yeah. 0.97

00:19:50.000 But I mentioned that, but there's also- I was watching waiting for the gay sex scene and it never came either. 0.97

00:19:54.000 So both of us were disappointed. 0.97

00:19:55.000 Yeah, yeah, no, yeah.

00:19:57.000 So you're disappointed for other reasons.

00:19:58.000 There's another movie called Spiral.

00:20:00.000 And this one is... Oh, man.

00:20:03.000 I think we talked about this in one of the TimCast segments.

00:20:06.000 So, you know what Shudder is?

00:20:09.000 Shudder, like S-H-U-D-D-R. 1.00

00:20:11.000 It's a subscription service for horror shows and movies.

00:20:15.000 I love horror.

00:20:16.000 It's like my favorite genre.

00:20:17.000 I love, you know... What is that movie with Nicole Kidman, The Others?

00:20:21.000 Yeah, I think so.

00:20:21.000 That movie's awesome.

00:20:22.000 That movie's great.

00:20:23.000 And I love old 80s movies.

00:20:25.000 I just watched The Stuff.

00:20:26.000 Have you ever seen it?

00:20:26.000 No.

00:20:27.000 It's where people start eating trash out of the ground, but then it turns out it's like, you know, alive.

00:20:32.000 Gutterfunks.

00:20:33.000 It's what?

00:20:34.000 They're eating people?

00:20:34.000 Yeah, trashfunks.

00:20:35.000 So Shudder has this film called Spiral, and it starts with an interracial gay couple.

00:20:42.000 Who have a daughter and then they move to a new town.

00:20:45.000 No, I'm fine.

00:20:46.000 I don't I don't care about that I don't I don't care about static being in a Black Lives Matter protest. 0.72

00:20:49.000 I care about the story making sense Well, how are you gonna have super villains if like how are the bullies were they at the Black Lives Matter protests?

00:20:55.000 Like what's going on?

00:20:56.000 I guess right.

00:20:57.000 So anyway, I'm watching this movie and I'm like I didn't really think twice about the interracial gay couple being, you know, the characters.

00:21:04.000 I was just like, it's 2020, man, you know?

00:21:05.000 I was like, whatever.

00:21:06.000 But then, very early on, you get a glimpse of what the movie is.

00:21:11.000 I'm just gonna spoil the whole movie for everybody.

00:21:13.000 If you're a subscriber to Shudder, well, you know, too bad. 0.94

00:21:16.000 Witches. 0.99

00:21:17.000 Witches. 0.99

00:21:18.000 It turns out, there are immortal white people. 0.99

00:21:22.000 who explain that they choose minority and marginalized families on purpose to frame for murders so that they can sacrifice them for immortality and then in the end the bad guy is like there will always be people to fear and no one will ever believe you And I'm like, you gotta be kidding me, dude.

00:21:42.000 Like, like you said, you can give me a teaspoon of propaganda for every, you know, every cup of entertainment I get.

00:21:47.000 That was the whole thing was propaganda.

00:21:49.000 I liked, uh, the 100.

00:21:52.000 I like, I honestly thought that show was kind of good, but by the end they, so everyone's a lesbian, right? 1.00

00:22:01.000 All the leaders are women and they're all lesbians and all of the women are the best fighters and it's sort of like a sci-fi thing but then they give the backstory and they just came on a spaceship and there's like they don't give you any logistical reason why in this world the women like it's not oh they're like Amazonian women it's just like normal women and for some reason the women are better fighters than guys they don't explain you go okay whatever Yeah.

00:22:25.000 You just have to be like, these fight scenes better be sweet, dude.

00:22:29.000 I watched a really good, there was a video explaining why Captain America and Captain Marvel are totally different.

00:22:34.000 Captain America's good, everyone loved it.

00:22:36.000 Captain Marvel, people kind of groaned at it and some people just accepted it.

00:22:40.000 And they explain that one of the issues is, you know, like early on in Captain America, they explain to you, Steve Rogers, Captain America, is a weak guy.

00:22:47.000 He's weak, but he's willing to stand up.

00:22:49.000 He's a scrawny dude getting beat up outside of a theater and it establishes... Yeah, they have to give you that.

00:22:53.000 Like, establish your world.

00:22:55.000 I'll believe your world, but you just have to give me an explanation. 0.99

00:22:57.000 Even if the explanation is stupid, they go, oh, he stepped in a puddle that gave him this. 1.00

00:23:00.000 You go, okay. 1.00

00:23:01.000 Like you just, otherwise you go, it doesn't make sense in your context.

00:23:05.000 But in this context, what they're basically saying is, you know who Steve Rogers is.

00:23:09.000 He's not the strongest guy, but he's willing to stand up and defend himself no matter what.

00:23:14.000 And then he eventually gets superpowers, and then you see this guy of really good moral character who wants to protect people, now is powerful and says, I'm gonna do the right thing.

00:23:23.000 Whereas Captain Marvel is, she's always strong, she's always been the best, and the man, like, there's a guy- Yeah, there's no- They've completely removed themselves from any hero's journey.

00:23:34.000 All of these like woman power movies basically became Steven Seagal movies where there's no adversity. 0.99

00:23:39.000 Like they start out and she's just like, I'm ready to kick some ass. 1.00

00:23:42.000 And then she goes, beats up everyone. 1.00

00:23:44.000 And then, you know, it's like, there's, there's, there's no even point where she wasn't going to potentially make it.

00:23:49.000 This is, this is the problem, I guess, with modern, the modern version of, I guess, Gen Z storytelling. 1.00

00:23:55.000 It's probably millennials who are writing these comics, but think about this.

00:23:59.000 If you've got, let's take a look at the Black Lives Matter narrative, right?

00:24:02.000 They're doing a comic where they're like telling the cops you're killing innocent people.

00:24:05.000 Well, that's a gross oversimplification of what's happening.

00:24:08.000 The cops are immediately the bad guys who fire on them for no reason.

00:24:11.000 In Captain Marvel, she's actually the bad guy. 0.99

00:24:15.000 In the beginning of the movie, some guy in a motorcycle tells her to smile.

00:24:19.000 So she steals his clothes and his motorcycle and presumably just leaves him like nude in a parking lot. 0.67

00:24:25.000 Wow.

00:24:25.000 Yeah, that's like, when that happened, I was kind of like, dude, I don't want to root for this character.

00:24:29.000 Some guy made a snide comment, so she robbed him.

00:24:31.000 The reason for it, like, I find this even when I'm writing stuff, and especially when I was like doing more traditional stuff, there is this thing of like, you're not supposed to say this about this person, you're not supposed to say this about this, but like, so if you're gonna make people protagonists, they need, you know, bad qualities and good qualities. 0.69

00:24:46.000 But there's this sort of thing, like, if you're gonna write a woman, they're like, oh, we'll make her shitty. 1.00

00:24:50.000 And you're like, Well, you can't make women bad. 0.87

00:24:51.000 Like, that's bad for women. 1.00

00:24:53.000 We're just going to make a woman character and like, yeah, here's our hero. 1.00

00:24:56.000 She's like, can't critically think.

00:24:59.000 You know, no, you're like, what do you mean?

00:25:00.000 You can't make, we need strong women characters with no flaws. 1.00

00:25:03.000 Well, that's, well, that's not really a good story that there's no flaws.

00:25:08.000 Think about, do you see what happened with Wemmix in the other day? 1.00

00:25:11.000 No, but how about that for, that's how I get my superpowers, is I'm at the women's march. 0.63

00:25:16.000 Yes, I love it.

00:25:18.000 And then the police fire tear gas at them.

00:25:20.000 Yes.

00:25:21.000 For no reason.

00:25:22.000 Police fire tear gas at the women, but it didn't need to. 1.00

00:25:25.000 It turns out, well, they thought they fired tear gas.

00:25:27.000 Turns out they were just already crying.

00:25:29.000 Oh my gosh.

00:25:31.000 And it was their love for the fellow man that granted them superpowers.

00:25:35.000 Yeah, that's what it was.

00:25:36.000 So I'll tell you the one last thing that, this is a joke, but I said that, And what happens at the Women's March is they all march from one side of the city, and halfway through they forget something and go back. 0.89

00:25:44.000 And that's it?

00:25:46.000 They gain superpowers?

00:25:48.000 They all forget something, and at the end it was their superpowers.

00:25:50.000 And I donated money to the Women's March.

00:25:51.000 I hope they find a cure.

00:25:52.000 So do you see the Wemixin thing with Twitch?

00:25:59.000 No, tell me about this.

00:26:00.000 Twitch put out a video where they were like, we want all Wemmickson to be supported.

00:26:05.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:26:06.000 No, of course.

00:26:06.000 And the left got really mad.

00:26:08.000 Yeah, they got fired up and then they issued an apology being like, our bad.

00:26:11.000 Yeah, we didn't realize that, you know, calling you Wemmickson, we thought it was inclusive.

00:26:15.000 You're making this very hard to pander to you right now.

00:26:17.000 No, but think about that.

00:26:18.000 Think about, they're like, okay, we're gonna make a movie.

00:26:20.000 We want to get feminists and women to come watch. 1.00

00:26:23.000 So let's do the hero's journey.

00:26:25.000 And they're going through the script, and they're like, let's make it very much like Captain America.

00:26:28.000 Everyone loved that one.

00:26:29.000 Well, we can't make her weak.

00:26:31.000 Correct.

00:26:32.000 Like Steve Rogers was a scrawny, weak guy in the beginning.

00:26:35.000 Okay, well, we'll just have her be strong.

00:26:37.000 But how do we then establish her journey?

00:26:40.000 Amnesia.

00:26:41.000 She's always strong, but she has amnesia.

00:26:44.000 That's what they did.

00:26:44.000 That's the movie.

00:26:45.000 That's the movie.

00:26:46.000 And then they do this thing where they're like, okay, what's her conflict?

00:26:49.000 Her Achilles heel, $5,000 purses.

00:26:52.000 I think that's her kryptonite. 0.91

00:26:54.000 The men keep telling her to control her emotions.

00:26:57.000 Oh.

00:26:57.000 I'm not kidding.

00:26:58.000 That's the movie.

00:26:58.000 She's always strong.

00:27:00.000 She gets amnesia.

00:27:01.000 And then the guy says you're too emotional.

00:27:02.000 And at the end, she like uses her emotions and says something like I

00:27:07.000 can do whatever I want, I guess.

00:27:08.000 But so the point I'm making is.

00:27:10.000 They could not make a flawed female character out of fear that they'll

00:27:13.000 get ripped apart by the woke left.

00:27:15.000 Like, look, you say Wimix and thinking you're pandering to them and 1.00

00:27:19.000 you're actually insulting them.

00:27:20.000 There's no right way to address.

00:27:21.000 I think the trans people got kind of fired up about that one too.

00:27:24.000 They did.

00:27:24.000 Understandable.

00:27:25.000 Well, Count Dankula had probably the best response. 0.86

00:27:28.000 He said, imagine fighting your whole life to transition and to be considered a woman, and then these woke corporations just come out and tell you you're not. 0.97

00:27:36.000 And then all these woke leftists were like, Dankula redemption arc?

00:27:40.000 And he's like, no, I've always felt that way.

00:27:43.000 Stop acting like it's a different opinion.

00:27:44.000 But then he did show the second video of his dog.

00:27:48.000 Let's jump to the next segment where we can talk about the ramifications of social justice stuff.

00:27:58.000 And this will probably be a little bit more outside your wheelhouse, but I'm sure you'll still be able to make fun of them, Ryan.

00:28:04.000 So over in Virginia, The new law banning police from pulling over Virginia

00:28:09.000 drivers solely for certain car safety violations Officers can also not stop people if they smell marijuana.

00:28:15.000 So in Virginia, they passed new legislation taking effect Monday

00:28:18.000 So I believe I believe it what it's it's already taken effect

00:28:21.000 Will make it harder for authorities in Virginia to pull over drivers

00:28:26.000 Several minor infractions, while still illegal, can no longer be the primary reason police stop you while you're driving.

00:28:31.000 These include certain defective equipment, objects dangling from your rearview mirror, loud exhaust, tinted windows, and smelling marijuana, to name a few.

00:28:39.000 An expired inspection or registration sticker can only get you pulled over.

00:28:42.000 However, it has to be at least four months late.

00:28:45.000 The legislation lists more changes here.

00:28:48.000 Maybe we can pull these up and see what they got going on.

00:28:50.000 Social justice advocates say this is a win.

00:28:54.000 I think it's a first step.

00:28:55.000 It's a huge first step, said Brad Haywood, founder and executive director of Justice Forward Virginia.

00:29:00.000 Haywood said these violations have long been used to stop people for drug investigations and disproportionately target people of color.

00:29:06.000 Well, I think it's it's it's I'm not going to read this whole law.

00:29:10.000 I don't know.

00:29:10.000 There's a whole bunch of crazy stuff in it.

00:29:11.000 I do think it's kind of absurd.

00:29:12.000 The cops can't pull people over now because the original proposal was it was like Black Lives Matter protesters were saying they just pull over people of color and they use it as excuses.

00:29:22.000 I think cops use things as excuses. 0.95

00:29:24.000 I've had cops pull me over.

00:29:25.000 I had a cop pull me over once, and as soon as, like, I rolled the window down, I put my, you know, my keys and wallet on top of the dash, I put my hands on the steering wheel, I turn the radio off, he walks up, and the first thing the cop does is go, excuse me, OH!

00:29:38.000 Whoa! 0.71

00:29:39.000 Yeah, that's my cologne.

00:29:39.000 marijuana and I'm like I'm sorry yeah that's my cologne I'm like I'm no I I I

00:29:46.000 just got off work I was wearing my work jumpsuit from O'Hare and I worked a

00:29:51.000 double shift my car was full of Taco Bell wrappers which is maybe why he

00:29:55.000 thought he could get away with accusing me of smoking pot and magnet you and oh

00:29:58.000 totally no you know you don't understand what I mean full I mean like the ground

00:30:02.000 and the chair was a mound of Taco Bell I was like 19.

00:30:09.000 No, but he pulled me over and he was like, I smell pot.

00:30:12.000 And I was like, I don't smoke.

00:30:14.000 And he's like out of the car.

00:30:15.000 I got coughed.

00:30:16.000 They searched my vehicle and tried planting pot in my car.

00:30:18.000 Yeah, no joke.

00:30:19.000 So, I see stuff like this and I'm like, I understand, but it's also kind of crazy that someone could literally be smoking pot and the cop can't pull them over.

00:30:27.000 Well, if they see it, I think they still can, right?

00:30:30.000 I guess, yeah, it's as if they smell marijuana.

00:30:32.000 But I mean, come on, if like, I grew up in Chicago, people smoked pot all the time and what do they call it, clam bake or hot boxing?

00:30:39.000 Hot boxing.

00:30:39.000 Push it a little bit of both.

00:30:40.000 It depends on where you're from in the country.

00:30:42.000 Clam bake or hot boxing is when they close all the windows and then just the whole thing gets fogged up.

00:30:46.000 Yes, it is.

00:30:47.000 And I'm like, okay, so the cop can't see anything.

00:30:50.000 It's just smoke, right?

00:30:51.000 So when they open, he says, I saw smoke.

00:30:52.000 They'll be like, well, what kind of smoke was it?

00:30:54.000 Well, they can probably bust you if you're there, and they walk up to the window now.

00:30:57.000 They just can't stop you.

00:30:58.000 So if, but when is a cop going to smell it driving as you drive by?

00:31:02.000 That's probably not very common, right?

00:31:04.000 It can happen, bro.

00:31:04.000 You've never driven past a car and you're like, whoa!

00:31:07.000 Those guys are going at it.

00:31:09.000 Dude, dude, you can see people driving in the smoke coming out of their windows.

00:31:12.000 You can definitely see it.

00:31:13.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:31:14.000 No, no, but the bigger picture here is, Are we getting to the point where the sensitivities over the social justice stuff are getting to the point where like a cop can't pull someone over for literally breaking the law?

00:31:23.000 It's obviously when you go to the extremes at any of these things.

00:31:26.000 I always used to say like in comedy because essentially there's like a war on noticing things.

00:31:33.000 A big thing that you don't talk about is like, oh, you know, women kind of do this more, guys kind of do this more, and you go, oh, it's interesting that black guys kind of do this or like, you know, whatever it is, like that's base level, but noticing things that, and then kind of, that's funny, right? 0.60

00:31:47.000 Pattern discernment?

00:31:48.000 Yeah, literally noticing patterns in your brain, right?

00:31:51.000 You're admitting to being a bigot.

00:31:53.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:31:53.000 Right.

00:31:54.000 So yeah, there's, there's a war, it's a war on noticing things where you go, but it's it's so manufactured and it's so fake and so this is what happens when it gets these things get taken to their extreme but i agree with you that the cops do do all that stuff put it this way i used to have really long hair like this guy and i i cut my hair and i've never been pulled over since i cut my hair

00:32:15.000 And when I had long hair like him, when I had long hair like him, twice at the airport, I was searched, my entire bag searched.

00:32:22.000 I was pulled over for no reason, lots of different times.

00:32:25.000 And since I've cut my hair 10 years ago, never happened again.

00:32:28.000 So, you know, they're one, of course they do.

00:32:30.000 And I've had cops do all sorts of crazy stuff.

00:32:33.000 This is crazy.

00:32:34.000 There's a quote.

00:32:34.000 Let me read this.

00:32:35.000 Why should they be allowed to investigate people based on hunches when they have no evidence?

00:32:40.000 Why don't we expect them to actually get probable cause for drug possession or gun possession before they pull a car over, Hayward said.

00:32:46.000 I read that and I'm like, that's kind of like oxymoronic.

00:32:49.000 A hunch?

00:32:50.000 That's what probable cause is.

00:32:51.000 Like a reasonable, you know, like you have a reasonable, well, probable cause is that you have a reasonable suspicion that someone is doing something.

00:32:59.000 That'd be a hunch.

00:33:01.000 It sounds like a hunch.

00:33:01.000 You know, it's one of those things, like everything else, where Tim, you go, most people for a lot of the problems, we go, do you think it's bad that, you know, there's these bad cops pulling people over?

00:33:10.000 And you go, yeah.

00:33:11.000 And I think most people go, that's a problem.

00:33:13.000 And you go, what's the solution?

00:33:14.000 They go, cops can't pull anyone else over.

00:33:16.000 And you go, that's not what it is.

00:33:17.000 That's totally reasonable.

00:33:19.000 I wasn't saying that.

00:33:20.000 And you're like, road pops for the boys, dude.

00:33:23.000 Crack a pack of Modris because the boys are rocking out on the way to the cottage.

00:33:29.000 I think, you know, we need a visual representation of this idea where it's like exactly what you said.

00:33:35.000 You know, it's kind of bad that, like, what does a statistic like, you know, one in a certain number of cops will do something?

00:33:40.000 Defund all police.

00:33:41.000 Abolish all the cops.

00:33:42.000 You know what I mean?

00:33:43.000 It's always the logical extreme of, okay, we don't want this.

00:33:47.000 And I think so many things, like with the censorship and everything, it's the same problem.

00:33:51.000 You go, most people, if me and you were having a conversation, they go, that was kind of mean what that guy did, you know?

00:33:56.000 And we go, yeah, that was, you know, what was that guy doing at this party?

00:33:59.000 Calling that girl this or whatever.

00:34:00.000 Right.

00:34:01.000 And then, yeah.

00:34:01.000 And then, and then he's like, I agree.

00:34:03.000 And then the next day you found out he's like petitioning for laws that it's illegal to be mean at the party.

00:34:07.000 And you go, well, that's not right.

00:34:09.000 You know, people want to legislate their, what they consider their morality.

00:34:13.000 It's like people want the government to be legislating their moral principles.

00:34:13.000 You know what I mean?

00:34:17.000 And I think that's kind of, we don't all have the same moral principles.

00:34:21.000 Right, right, right.

00:34:22.000 So this actually happened in Lansing.

00:34:23.000 I'm assuming this is Michigan, right?

00:34:25.000 Yeah, I think so.

00:34:26.000 They passed something similar.

00:34:27.000 They say, So let me get this straight.

00:34:28.000 You've got this happening in Michigan.

00:34:31.000 You got it in Virginia.

00:34:32.000 They say the new guidelines are consistent with department's goal of protecting citizens' rights

00:34:37.000 while eliminating any aspect, inferred or otherwise, of bias-based traffic policing practices.

00:34:42.000 So let me get this straight. You've got this happening in Michigan, you got it in Virginia.

00:34:46.000 They're saying cops can't pull you over if your license plate is expired.

00:34:51.000 All right, that's kind of a problem.

00:34:53.000 I mean, you register your car for a reason, you're paying taxes, you're contributing.

00:34:57.000 So the issue I have here, well, I wonder if the libertarians are all cheering.

00:35:03.000 There's also the other element of making, you know, the most aggressive laws to force you into that position where you go, well, I don't know, like you're all of a sudden pro-cop.

00:35:12.000 And then they go, look at this guy, he's like Blue Lives Matter, dude. 0.60

00:35:15.000 It's like they pick these extreme positions that everyone's like, I mean, that's a little crazy.

00:35:20.000 And you're like, well, you know, they do it with, it's like with all the issues.

00:35:23.000 The issue now is basically all they're really saying is you don't have to get your license plate renewed for four months.

00:35:31.000 So that's actually kind of fine.

00:35:33.000 I guess you get a four month buffer.

00:35:35.000 Then what's the point of putting the sticker on your plate?

00:35:38.000 Why bother going and getting a renewal if you know you can't get in trouble for it?

00:35:42.000 You can't get pulled over for it.

00:35:43.000 Could be like a COVID, like, we're not gonna make, just like a little buffer that in case people can't afford to get their license renewed or something.

00:35:50.000 But see, the point is, cops are supposed to just give you a warning.

00:35:53.000 So, well, not supposed to, but I think, I think they should be supposed to.

00:35:57.000 So when my plate expired, On my car when I was like 19, the one full of Taco Bell wrappers.

00:36:02.000 It was a different time.

00:36:03.000 Yeah.

00:36:04.000 I got pulled over.

00:36:04.000 The clam magnet.

00:36:06.000 Yeah, totally, dude.

00:36:07.000 You have no idea.

00:36:07.000 When those ladies saw the Taco Bell, they were like, Ooh, is that Taco Bell?

00:36:11.000 No, no.

00:36:12.000 They were like, I'm about to unwrap my taco.

00:36:14.000 The amount of wrappers in your car must be clearly $10,000 worth of Taco Bell.

00:36:18.000 Oh, this guy's ballin', dude.

00:36:20.000 I don't need rims.

00:36:21.000 I don't need rims.

00:36:23.000 I got the wrappers from Taco Bell.

00:36:24.000 No, but- Are you Tim Bell?

00:36:26.000 When I got pulled over, the cop walked up to the car and he said, uh, your plates are expired.

00:36:31.000 And I was like, aw, for real?

00:36:33.000 I was like, I don't know, man.

00:36:34.000 I'm like, I was like, I just got the car.

00:36:37.000 I have no idea how this works.

00:36:38.000 And he went, no problem.

00:36:39.000 Just go get it fixed.

00:36:40.000 Dude, I've had nine burritos today.

00:36:41.000 I can't deal with this right now.

00:36:43.000 I was like, officer!

00:36:44.000 Oh, I ate too much Taco Bell!

00:36:46.000 It's coming!

00:36:47.000 No, no, no.

00:36:47.000 He just walked up and he was like, get it updated.

00:36:50.000 And I was like, alright, thanks man.

00:36:51.000 And then I got pulled over again like a week later.

00:36:54.000 And the same thing happened.

00:36:55.000 A cop walked up and he goes, you know, license, insurance, and he goes, your license plate's expired.

00:37:00.000 And I said straight up, I was like, yeah man, I just had a warning from a cop.

00:37:03.000 And, you know, he told me to get registered.

00:37:05.000 So I went to the thing.

00:37:06.000 I got it filled out.

00:37:07.000 I guess it's coming soon.

00:37:08.000 And he went, okay, have a nice day.

00:37:09.000 I suppose that's the kind of story where you hear these progressive leftists being like, when I got pulled over for an expired plate, they gave me a warning, or when I was going 120 in a 35 school zone, they gave me a slap on the wrist.

00:37:20.000 Speeding is different.

00:37:21.000 Yeah, they're like, I killed a guy, and no one even knows yet. 0.98

00:37:24.000 A black guy does it, and you go, what? 0.98

00:37:26.000 You killed a guy? 0.99

00:37:27.000 No one even knows.

00:37:27.000 Like, if you get pulled over for speeding and your license is expired, then you're in trouble, in my opinion, if your license plate's expired.

00:37:34.000 But if you just are The speeding is dangerous.

00:37:38.000 Speeding can kill people.

00:37:40.000 I think you should always, the cops should be very diligent about pulling over people for speeding.

00:37:43.000 So I think, like, I don't know, you made the point really well.

00:37:46.000 You say, hey, isn't it kind of bad that sometimes cops pull people over for BS reasons?

00:37:50.000 You're right.

00:37:50.000 Cops shouldn't be allowed to pull anyone over.

00:37:51.000 That's like a really extreme, crazy thing.

00:37:54.000 But the issue I have with a lot of these stories, from a scientific perspective, is when, like, lived experience is not science, you know?

00:38:02.000 Were you following the Smith College thing that happened recently?

00:38:04.000 Will Smith went to college.

00:38:06.000 James Franco style.

00:38:09.000 They're rebooting Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield.

00:38:11.000 It's with Will Smith this time.

00:38:13.000 So there's a school where there was this black woman and she was in an unauthorized area of the university eating.

00:38:17.000 So the janitor was told if anybody goes in there just call the security.

00:38:21.000 Security got called they went there and they asked her the cop was just like, you know What's going on and she was like I'm eating and she's like shaking and filming him and it was like, okay, you know Sorry to bother you just you know, we're supposed to have anybody in here But it's fine if you're here and then she claimed it was this big like super racist moment Yeah So the New York Times wrote an article saying it was a moment when her lived personal truth was at clash with the facts The New York Times actually wrote that so the problem I have is How do we know, you know, if like someone's, when someone says, I get pulled over for no reason.

00:38:52.000 It's like, the difficult thing is there's no control, right?

00:38:55.000 We can't send one car down a rope, the same cop.

00:38:58.000 No.

00:38:58.000 And then with like, with like an Asian driver and then a black driver and a white driver, and then see which one gets pulled over.

00:39:02.000 And there's multiple factors.

00:39:03.000 Like some girls think that I'm like, you know, like an Asian girl or whatever.

00:39:07.000 And she's like, Oh, you're being mean to me.

00:39:09.000 Cause I'm Asian.

00:39:09.000 And I'm actually just being mean to her.

00:39:10.000 Cause she's a woman. 1.00

00:39:12.000 You never really know.

00:39:13.000 Right.

00:39:14.000 You're just trying to find ways to be offensive, and no matter what point you make, right?

00:39:17.000 Yes!

00:39:18.000 You're like, let me offend as many people as possible on this show.

00:39:23.000 You have to understand when I did say that, I meant wom-ex-en. 1.00

00:39:27.000 I'm wondering if the X is pronounced like a Y. I think it's pronounced X-X-X-en.

00:39:32.000 Oh my gosh, even worse.

00:39:33.000 Triple X. Triple X-en, which is Hunter Hurst Elms, or no, that's triple H. Okay, stop it.

00:39:39.000 Get out of here.

00:39:41.000 They say it's pronounced... The X is pronounced... You're supposed to... It's the two arms and there's a socket under... That's the under contact.

00:39:49.000 That's a subtext.

00:39:50.000 Well, apparently the word... That's the X factor.

00:39:50.000 They don't want you to know that.

00:39:52.000 The word's offensive to everybody.

00:39:54.000 So everybody's offended by it.

00:39:56.000 But no, you can't like if you're everyone's had those experiences and you go and it kind of goes to why I mean, I was saying the other day that like, there's a lot of people that their Fox News when it's agrees with them and their their CNN when it doesn't like, for example, if you say someone will go, okay, that different racial groups have different crime more, right? 0.61

00:40:15.000 And they'll be like, obviously, that's because of the system.

00:40:17.000 And you go, okay, well, then why do guys go to jail less than women? 0.74

00:40:20.000 And they go, well, that's because women are less violent. 1.00

00:40:22.000 And You legitimately switch between being Fox News and CNN based on whether it's the group that you care about.

00:40:28.000 It's because guys are more violent.

00:40:29.000 Yeah, well, exactly, right?

00:40:30.000 I mean, and you go, obviously, a lot of these things are a mix of, they're all multivariable things, but nuance is difficult and takes a lot of energy, and it's not very good for activism.

00:40:40.000 Oh, it's banned, too.

00:40:41.000 It's not allowed.

00:40:42.000 Like, there's, like, legit scientific conversations are very, very hard to have on YouTube, because they'll try and get you banned for talking about actual scientific studies.

00:40:42.000 Yeah.

00:40:52.000 They'll argue the studies themselves were fake or bigoted or paid off, and it's like, So which paid-off study do you pick, I guess?

00:40:59.000 It's all political.

00:41:00.000 I kind of have that same mentality sometimes when it's like, oh, you can't talk about this because you're a man or whatever it is.

00:41:06.000 And I go, all right, give me a list of things that I'm not allowed to talk about and let's avoid those subjects because I'm not about to hear you just listen to you speak and be like, zip it up.

00:41:15.000 That's basically what they do.

00:41:16.000 There you go.

00:41:16.000 Oh, you're not allowed to talk on this one.

00:41:18.000 It's like, I guess let's move on then because that doesn't sound very interesting to me.

00:41:22.000 Let's jump to the story about Amazon and cancel culture.

00:41:26.000 And my friends, thank you for tuning in to the show tonight. 1.00

00:41:29.000 And I'm pretty sure this segment is going to get us in trouble because the Internet is stupid. 1.00

00:41:34.000 It's very, very stupid. 1.00

00:41:36.000 And just take a look at this story from the New York Post. 1.00

00:41:38.000 Amazon tweaks app icon after comparisons made to Hitler.

00:41:43.000 What psychotic person?

00:41:47.000 Hold on, hold on. 0.98

00:41:48.000 I'm not saying the people who thought this cardboard box with tape on it looked like Hitler are psychotic.

00:41:51.000 I'm saying the person who worked at Amazon saw someone complaining that your box looks like Hitler, so they immediately rushed to the graphic department and said, quick, change it, change it. 0.98

00:42:01.000 That person's a psychopath.

00:42:02.000 They should have been like, when crackpots on the internet start screaming that the moon is made of cheese, we don't entertain them and write books about it and make sure they get it. 0.95

00:42:11.000 Can we get a picture of it?

00:42:12.000 Of the yeah, can we get a picture? Oh, yeah, it's up right now. Okay, you just can't see it. You want to see it?

00:42:17.000 Yeah, I want to see it I don't know how it does look like it's got to pull up on

00:42:21.000 your phone. I can't spin it It's the hair we're looking that

00:42:24.000 Yeah, yeah, it's look. Oh because I thought to me that looks like michael jordan when he had the hitler mustache

00:42:29.000 That's why michael jordan had hitler mustache. You guys don't remember that? No

00:42:32.000 I know you think i'm joking because i've been saying a lot of fake things this episode

00:42:37.000 But michael jordan, he did a whole commercial campaign and everyone's like why do you have a hitler mustache?

00:42:43.000 Yeah, it was like a thin mustache.

00:42:43.000 Oh my gosh.

00:42:45.000 What?

00:42:46.000 No, you're thinking of when he had the lip, like the cool black guy, like where it's just like the tiniest line of hair.

00:42:52.000 He's just like right in the middle.

00:42:52.000 No, no, no.

00:42:54.000 Dude, he was just like, fuck, you know, screw it. 1.00

00:42:56.000 I can bring it back, dude. 1.00

00:42:57.000 I'm Michael Jordan.

00:42:58.000 And if anyone could.

00:43:02.000 I see Michael Jordan, but so the New York New York Post writes Amazon has changed its new smartphone app logo after critics said the earlier Incarnation was a dead ringer for Adolf Hitler dead ringer dead ringer dead ringer.

00:43:15.000 No joke.

00:43:15.000 They literally did look at this one guy Let me see if I can pull I'm trying not to make a few different jokes right now to keep it in right?

00:43:21.000 Okay, so Alex, Alex, you get me going on the Alex turn is a UK tech editor for the Guardian and he

00:43:32.000 tweeted lmao I completely missed that Amazon quietly tweaked its new

00:43:36.000 icon to make it look Less like Hitler and then some responded

00:43:40.000 Well, I mean to see Hitler's mustache in a ripped scotch tape 0.84

00:43:43.000 One must really think of Hitler all the time because I still don't see all that resembly

00:43:48.000 The internet is too exaggerated and everything.

00:43:51.000 And someone responded, it's not just ripped scotch tape, it's a ripped scotch tape that has a similar shape and is right on top of a smiling mouth.

00:43:58.000 Looks like a happy little cardboard Adolf to me.

00:44:01.000 Somebody responded with a really funny tweet.

00:44:03.000 They said, yes, yes, the image of the smiling, happy-go-lucky Hitler is why everyone thinks so. 0.96

00:44:08.000 What if they compromise and they say they'll make it look less like Hitler, but still a little bit like Hitler? 0.81

00:44:12.000 Somebody made this picture.

00:44:14.000 Like, we don't want it to obviously not at all look like Hitler. 0.67

00:44:16.000 Do you have the Daily Mail picture?

00:44:19.000 I mean, it's a picture of Hitler scowling.

00:44:22.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:44:24.000 Somebody made a picture.

00:44:26.000 You can't see it unless you get up.

00:44:27.000 You can get up and look at it.

00:44:28.000 Be careful with your headphones.

00:44:29.000 Be careful with your headphones.

00:44:31.000 So somebody created this image.

00:44:34.000 That's a Simpson Hitler. 0.94

00:44:41.000 This guy John Evans, it's John 3 Vans on Twitter said no excuses here.

00:44:47.000 This is amazing.

00:44:49.000 That's a bit much.

00:44:50.000 They're crossing the line.

00:44:51.000 Yeah.

00:44:52.000 Smiling Hitler. 0.65

00:44:54.000 It could have been Charlie Chaplin.

00:44:56.000 There you go.

00:44:56.000 Why didn't Amazon say it was Charlie?

00:44:58.000 I thought it was weird that they changed Google's address to google.ss.

00:45:03.000 I mean, that was a bit much.

00:45:04.000 But they also changed their motto, yeah.

00:45:05.000 They're being evil now.

00:45:06.000 So, googles.com.

00:45:10.000 This is the world we get to inhabit.

00:45:13.000 I'm so excited.

00:45:15.000 Who complained about this?

00:45:17.000 Who cared about... It's the same people that shot the stonks to the moon.

00:45:22.000 Do you think it was a pro-Hitler person that was like, this looks too much like Hitler and I don't need Amazon besmirching the Great Ones?

00:45:28.000 I would never have thought it.

00:45:31.000 Yeah, never!

00:45:32.000 I don't know who... Hitler would not be allowing you to use his image to sell stuff to a certain group of people.

00:45:38.000 So, was it you who said that?

00:45:40.000 If you hear the dog... If you hear a dog whistle, you're a dog.

00:45:43.000 You're a dog.

00:45:44.000 Yeah.

00:45:44.000 So, you hear dog whistles all the time, I'd imagine.

00:45:46.000 You see it... Yoink!

00:45:47.000 He's like, baby!

00:45:53.000 I mean, we're all sort of trained to hear all the things right now.

00:45:55.000 So it's like, yes, if you start, I think whatever you pay attention to, of course, but as soon as you get into that game where it's like, I'm going to look for everything bad.

00:46:04.000 It doesn't mean you're bad, but it does mean you're looking for it.

00:46:07.000 Ryan, it's like saying that's what she said.

00:46:08.000 Once you start, you can never stop.

00:46:10.000 So once you start looking for white supremacy in Hitler, you can never stop. 0.82

00:46:15.000 And I think that's kind of what's happened to these people.

00:46:16.000 I think they're kind of losing it.

00:46:17.000 Did you guys see RuneGate?

00:46:19.000 Yes.

00:46:20.000 Negative. 1.00

00:46:20.000 So this is another good example of just like how stupid and insane everybody is. 1.00

00:46:24.000 So the CPAC stage is, what is it, the Conservative Political Action Conference? 1.00

00:46:28.000 Yeah.

00:46:29.000 They said, looks like the Nazi, what is it called, an Odal rune or something?

00:46:33.000 Yeah, a Nordic rune.

00:46:35.000 Have you seen this?

00:46:36.000 It's like a diamond and then it goes like out and there's like little wings, I guess.

00:46:39.000 I feel like every three months they go, look at this, kind of looks like, you know, they've had a few superhero things where they said, oh, the thing looks too much like the SS stage.

00:46:48.000 Yeah.

00:46:49.000 The eagle.

00:46:50.000 People are always kind of saying the imagery looks like Nazi.

00:46:50.000 The imagery.

00:46:53.000 And the Nazis took the swastika from like a Hindu. 0.67

00:46:56.000 It's a Hindu religious icon.

00:46:58.000 The Odal rune is like an ancient Celtic Nordic thing.

00:47:01.000 Second worst thing they did.

00:47:03.000 Yeah.

00:47:04.000 Seized the Odal Room. 0.60

00:47:05.000 Stealing.

00:47:06.000 I'm a comedian.

00:47:09.000 We'll see how much YouTube allows you to get away with all of it.

00:47:13.000 We got in trouble though before, right?

00:47:17.000 Tim, I don't want to talk about my personal problems that I've had with the great corporation Google.com, which you called them Goobles, not me.

00:47:26.000 I was killing something Tim would do, yeah.

00:47:28.000 And if the people at Google are listening, I appreciate y'all.

00:47:31.000 I love you guys.

00:47:32.000 So I just want to get rid of those strikes.

00:47:35.000 So apparently CPAC is getting cancelled.

00:47:38.000 What?

00:47:39.000 Like, I mean... I mean CPAC was already pretty cancelled, dude.

00:47:41.000 Did you see the Star Spangled Banner?

00:47:44.000 We gotta talk about that.

00:47:44.000 No, hold on, hold on.

00:47:45.000 I don't mean that they're like shut down, I mean...

00:47:48.000 You're saying culture cancelled?

00:47:49.000 Like, they're getting attacked.

00:47:50.000 Apparently the hotel wrote a strongly worded letter saying like, we can't believe that they used this for CPACs like Christmas to these people.

00:47:58.000 It really is, yeah.

00:48:00.000 Welcome back, everybody.

00:48:01.000 I think we just got booted and returned back?

00:48:03.000 Yeah.

00:48:04.000 Some people might not have even noticed because it may have just like stuttered and then heard you say, welcome back.

00:48:09.000 Yeah, we had a little blink on the internet.

00:48:11.000 You can hear that chime.

00:48:12.000 Yeah.

00:48:13.000 But we have redundancy set up because, you know, they try to keep us down.

00:48:16.000 It's two days in a row!

00:48:18.000 Are we back right now?

00:48:19.000 We are back.

00:48:20.000 We're recording the whole time.

00:48:21.000 Guess who's back?

00:48:22.000 Okay.

00:48:23.000 Okay.

00:48:23.000 Unnecessary.

00:48:24.000 The CPAC stage is a convenient shape for a stage.

00:48:24.000 Nope.

00:48:24.000 None of that.

00:48:27.000 I will say that I don't agree with those bad things you said about Google and the cameras were down.

00:48:33.000 The gamer words again.

00:48:36.000 I don't know whether to complain about the corporate response to these accusations or to complain about the girls' performance of the Star Spangled Banner.

00:48:45.000 No, why was that?

00:48:46.000 Oh my god.

00:48:47.000 So many different keys.

00:48:49.000 She just kept changing keys. 1.00

00:48:50.000 And there's a video of a guy trying to play piano along with it.

00:48:54.000 Look at Simon over here.

00:48:55.000 Simon Cowell.

00:48:56.000 Dude, you gotta watch it.

00:48:57.000 Judging this woman's singing.

00:48:58.000 It's so bad.

00:48:59.000 It's so funny.

00:49:00.000 Totally didn't vote for her.

00:49:02.000 Oh my god.

00:49:02.000 No, I gave her the X. I gave her the odal rune.

00:49:08.000 I mean, this girl's career wasn't like skyrocketing if she's doing the CPAC anthem. 0.99

00:49:13.000 Listen, listen, listen. 0.60

00:49:14.000 What the heck? 1.00

00:49:15.000 Conservatives are not cool. 1.00

00:49:17.000 Nope.

00:49:17.000 That's, that's, that's always been a big problem.

00:49:19.000 But, but, I say but to all the conservatives who are watching.

00:49:22.000 I, I realize something with like all of this cancel culture stuff and like going back to some of the earlier stuff we were talking about.

00:49:28.000 Ryan, have you ever watched like, what, what, what is that God flicks called?

00:49:32.000 Uh, pure flicks.

00:49:34.000 Yeah.

00:49:34.000 Pure flicks?

00:49:34.000 You ever watch like those old Christian versions of movies and like conservative versions of like TV shows and stuff?

00:49:40.000 Yeah.

00:49:41.000 It's like really low quality and just like really poorly acted.

00:49:44.000 Yeah.

00:49:45.000 It's inverting.

00:49:46.000 Now we're getting, like, conservatives are starting to make content, and it's getting better. 0.96

00:49:50.000 Okay, I watched Bill O'Reilly interview the insane clown posse. 0.87

00:49:55.000 Ten years ago. 0.94

00:49:55.000 When? 0.94

00:49:55.000 When was that? 0.94

00:49:56.000 So cool.

00:49:57.000 And he was saying the exact same thing that these people were saying.

00:50:01.000 He goes, you know, this is harmful words to kids.

00:50:05.000 You know it's everything that they were saying this shouldn't be available we need all of the stuff and it was 100% flipped and you know the insane and they were like you know you're teaching your kids to you know do all these bad things and the insane clown posse who you said you're a big Juggalo fan on your off time. 1.00

00:50:22.000 But they were kind of like, no, these people aren't as stupid as you. 1.00

00:50:25.000 Like, that's it. 1.00

00:50:27.000 You're just looking for the worst thing.

00:50:28.000 Just the same way when they go, oh, look at some right-wing guy.

00:50:31.000 And they go, look at this thing you said.

00:50:32.000 And you go, you're just trying to find something.

00:50:34.000 Like, that's not really what they're about.

00:50:36.000 I was trying really hard to remember the lyrics to Halls of Illusion, because I was going to sing it.

00:50:41.000 I honestly couldn't remember it.

00:50:42.000 Do you know F the World?

00:50:43.000 I could sing that.

00:50:44.000 Oh my gosh.

00:50:44.000 Who's a bigger J-Lo?

00:50:45.000 No, you know, Halls of Illusion I thought was actually a good song when I was a kid.

00:50:48.000 Dude, when I was in grade six, a little skateboard kid, when they came out, and they go, in this one song, I say F 93 times.

00:50:57.000 I was like, you're pretty, you're pretty cool.

00:51:00.000 Here's the point I want to make, right?

00:51:02.000 I'm imagining like, there was a channel in Chicago that was like the Christian channel, and they had a bunch of cartoons that were very hokey and just not good storytelling.

00:51:11.000 So bad.

00:51:11.000 But it was the religious message.

00:51:13.000 Yeah.

00:51:13.000 It was like the religion behind it made it good no matter what.

00:51:17.000 I think about, like, the Static Shock thing, where they're making him get his powers at Black Lives Matter, and it's like watching, when I was a kid, watching these Christian cartoons with, like, you know, like, Christian man, and it's like, he got his powers from reading the Bible and praying properly.

00:51:29.000 And I'm like, you know what's substantially cooler than that version of Static Shock?

00:51:35.000 Jack Posobiec's Agent Poso.

00:51:36.000 Yes!

00:51:36.000 So much cooler.

00:51:38.000 It's tongue-in-cheek, it's like self-deprecating almost, where they're kind of mocking the idea So Jack, this isn't as many lines like you can like, listen, no one likes to watch things when they know it's like really being colored in the lines.

00:51:50.000 And there's just, there's no transgression on it.

00:51:53.000 And that could be like artistic, that could be political, whatever it is.

00:51:56.000 So when you completely know exactly what you're getting, and you know why you're getting it, it's, it's less desirable to watch.

00:52:04.000 And you know, it doesn't catch cultural heat.

00:52:05.000 And that's why all of these places are having trouble like manufacturing the energy to get people to like their things.

00:52:11.000 Well, I also think that it's like... It's what you were saying earlier.

00:52:15.000 You're allowed to give me one teaspoon of propaganda for every, like, cup of entertainment or whatever.

00:52:19.000 But what happens is... The problem with giving more propaganda is... The feeling I get is I'm watching something and I want to be entertained.

00:52:29.000 If I'm mostly just getting smacked over the head with a lesson, well, then I would rather watch, like, reruns of American Gladiators and listen to Bill Hicks scream in my ear about how I'm, you know, an idiot for doing it. 0.96

00:52:43.000 But it's more entertaining than watching, like, religious content.

00:52:46.000 Look, I'm not trying to rag on religious people, but I gotta tell you, when I was growing up and I saw these, like, I went to Catholic school, and they would play these cartoons where it was just, like, you know, just not good storytelling.

00:52:57.000 But it was the ideology behind it.

00:52:58.000 Well, it comes back to the idea where you go, okay, what would it take for you, you know, if someone has a belief, like let's say they're a huge fan of a sports team and you go, what would it take for you to change sides, like to not be a Yankees guy?

00:53:09.000 If they lost, like if they didn't make the playoffs 50 times, whatever it was, and they go, nothing, I'm to the death.

00:53:14.000 And you go, okay, so I don't really need your take on them then, do I?

00:53:16.000 Yeah.

00:53:17.000 And I think that's what all this stuff is.

00:53:18.000 If you go, you're so in it, it's, you know, to the death, and I'm ride or die with this ideology.

00:53:23.000 What if, what if we're completely wrong about the static shock thing, and it turns out that the villains were all Black Lives Matter supporters, and the villains are Antifa, and we're just, like, we're totally wrong?

00:53:32.000 I mean, I gotta see the movie to, yeah.

00:53:34.000 Comic.

00:53:35.000 To what?

00:53:35.000 It's a comic.

00:53:36.000 I think they should run with that idea.

00:53:38.000 That's the best that I can think of.

00:53:39.000 Just sprinkle some dangers.

00:53:41.000 I gotta tell you, it's probably going to be that the bullies were at a pro-Trump counter-rally.

00:53:46.000 And the cops will be bad.

00:53:47.000 Just sounds terrible.

00:53:48.000 But why would the cops tear gas the Trump guys in the same comic?

00:53:52.000 The comic's trying to make the cops bad guys.

00:53:53.000 The cops would have to protect the Trump supporters.

00:53:55.000 How did the bullies get superpowers? 1.00

00:53:57.000 Were you reading this?

00:53:58.000 Have you read the comic yet?

00:54:00.000 Just the ones they showed.

00:54:01.000 Would you hate read it?

00:54:02.000 No, I would legit just read it.

00:54:05.000 That is the one thing of all of the, you know, you could make fun of this group or that group and people get mad at you.

00:54:10.000 I did a comic sketch recently where I had three different comics.

00:54:15.000 That's their culture.

00:54:16.000 I don't know if you saw it.

00:54:16.000 The superheroes one?

00:54:17.000 Yeah, youtube.com slash ryanlongcomedy.

00:54:20.000 No, but I got probably the most people mad ever that I included different heroes from different universes.

00:54:29.000 Gamers are the number one lobby right now.

00:54:32.000 Because you had Captain America on the flash.

00:54:34.000 And then I had them all fly.

00:54:37.000 Dude, people were fired up.

00:54:38.000 Hold on.

00:54:39.000 Do you want to know the actual truth, and this is what happened, was sometimes it ain't, like, it wasn't even me being stupid, I go, I looked at Amazon to buy costumes, and I was like, those were the three that kind of looked the best.

00:54:49.000 You put Captain America and the Green Lantern together.

00:54:52.000 And they all fly.

00:54:54.000 No one cares about you offending minorities or whatever. 0.62

00:54:57.000 No, no, people were fired up about that.

00:55:00.000 Cancel Ryan Long, they're saying.

00:55:01.000 Okay, okay, well hold on, hold on, let's think for a second.

00:55:03.000 Ryan Long, cancel party.

00:55:04.000 Ryan Long was the flash.

00:55:05.000 The Flash could spin his arms really, really fast to create wind pressure to fly.

00:55:12.000 He theoretically could do it.

00:55:13.000 Where were you in my comment section?

00:55:15.000 Green Lantern can just legit fly, so you're good there.

00:55:18.000 And Captain America... Tony Stark gave him a repulsor for his shield, and it allows him to fly.

00:55:29.000 Yeah, I think so.

00:55:30.000 Tim's got you back.

00:55:32.000 Now it is canon.

00:55:34.000 But it is, I mean, so much of this stuff, because even like I see how fired up you are about this story, like it all kind of goes back to the gate.

00:55:41.000 How many people say that Gamergate is kind of the, you know, the pinnacle of the whole thing?

00:55:44.000 But it's like the one thing that they're like, we can't have this one thing.

00:55:50.000 And like, it's like, okay, fine.

00:55:52.000 All your commercials are this.

00:55:53.000 Okay.

00:55:53.000 All the movies are this.

00:55:54.000 And they're like, we want to take your comics and make them this too.

00:55:57.000 And everyone's like, you've gone too far.

00:55:59.000 Well, it started with games and there was a meme of a guy in a military suit with like a feminist tied up.

00:56:06.000 And he says, why did you make me do this?

00:56:08.000 I just wanted to play video games.

00:56:10.000 Like the point they were making, rather extreme, is like, if you just leave our video games alone, we didn't care what you were doing politically.

00:56:18.000 Dude.

00:56:19.000 Of course!

00:56:19.000 I just wanted to play video games, now I'm campaigning for Trump.

00:56:24.000 That's the meme, I just wanted to play video games.

00:56:26.000 So the issue is, I think a lot of this started because when the blog era began, there was this pressure among these low-talent, midwit writers to produce content every single day.

00:56:39.000 If you write for a video game website... And it was the way to get publicity too.

00:56:43.000 Well right, so check it out.

00:56:45.000 You come out with a comedy special, and I write for a comedy website.

00:56:49.000 I can only write about your special one time!

00:56:52.000 So what they do is, when a video game comes out, the video game bloggers would write about the game, write about its release, write tips and tricks, and then say, now what?

00:57:00.000 What do we write about?

00:57:01.000 No games are getting released.

00:57:02.000 We can't just have the website be dead.

00:57:05.000 I can.

00:57:06.000 Oh, there was a guy in the game and he was, he said, um, yeah, he said big in reference to a woman. 0.75

00:57:15.000 Ooh, that's fat phobic.

00:57:16.000 Definitely the content, the necessity for pounds and pounds of content, you know, contributed to, I mean, he cited the blog generator where they just go, there's a, uh, transphobia problem in Yeah, whatever it is. 0.95

00:57:32.000 He throws a dildo at the wall, and it sticks to it.

00:57:36.000 No, that's the old Vice thing.

00:57:37.000 That's old Vice.

00:57:40.000 Mine's the new blogs all together.

00:57:42.000 It is so good.

00:57:43.000 You stick the things on the wall, and it's Ryan Long comedy.

00:57:48.000 So basically, you have a formula.

00:57:50.000 What was the formula?

00:57:53.000 Blank has a blank problem.

00:57:56.000 And then if you want to get, if you want to snazz it up, yeah, if you want to snazz it up, you can.

00:58:01.000 But I included all the articles that actually exist and then some guy made the generator and put it online and it was pretty funny.

00:58:07.000 So basically you can pick any word, like any social justice word.

00:58:10.000 But they do it, yeah.

00:58:11.000 And they really do it and they'll find anyone, and then you go reverse, right? 0.98

00:58:14.000 Like there's a racism problem in the gay community, there's a gay problem in the black community. 0.89

00:58:19.000 And they just do the whole thing over and over and over again. 0.91

00:58:21.000 So it's a big part of that, like with the content thing.

00:58:24.000 But then I think also there's this idea that it starts with the thing, but it becomes about making you agree to something.

00:58:34.000 So that's kind of like, you know, let's say the trans thing, right?

00:58:37.000 So it's always became...

00:58:38.000 They go, a lot of people, you know, why did five comedians all have their specials about trans stuff, right?

00:58:44.000 And they go, why do you guys care so much about this?

00:58:46.000 And I was kind of having this argument about something that I could have this argument about anything.

00:58:50.000 So I was talking about Fall Out Boy, the band, and this girl goes, So Followed Boy is a boy band, and I go, they're not really a boy band.

00:58:57.000 Like, they're just kind of a band.

00:58:58.000 Like, I don't like them.

00:58:59.000 Yeah, and I was like, a boy band, I think like Backstreet Boys, you know, whatever, having this argument.

00:59:03.000 And before I know it, I'm like, dude, they're not a, you know, I'm getting all fired up.

00:59:06.000 And then it becomes like, yo, why do you care about Followed Boy so much?

00:59:09.000 I go, I don't care about Followed Boy.

00:59:11.000 You're making me say something that isn't true.

00:59:12.000 Right.

00:59:13.000 And that's kind of a lot of this stuff gets there and you get fired up and then they go, what do you care about this thing?

00:59:18.000 I go, I don't care about this thing.

00:59:19.000 Well, that's the thing, like, so, I tweeted about Potato Head, because AP said, like, Mr. Potato Head is now regular Potato Head, and then everyone was like, it's gender neutral!

00:59:29.000 And I just tweeted, how is, this is stupid, like, how is he even gendered anyway? 0.98

00:59:32.000 Because his name is Mr.? 1.00

00:59:33.000 Like, that's so dumb. 0.99

00:59:34.000 I don't even care about the story! 0.99

00:59:36.000 But then some article took my tweet to claim that I was an outraged conservative!

00:59:41.000 Right.

00:59:41.000 Yeah, you go further.

00:59:41.000 No.

00:59:41.000 And I'm like I didn't care about this. You know what so I decide you know I'm gonna do from now on

00:59:45.000 I'm just going to tweet the opposite And so I just tweeted I demand a gender-neutral potato head 0.97

00:59:50.000 and then when when Hasbro tweeted out So do you see the tweet you go further you see the tweet

00:59:55.000 from Mark Dice where he responded to it saying it's time for

00:59:57.000 Republican states to secede so in response to potato head story

01:00:01.000 He tweeted and then all the leftists were like they've gone crazy

01:00:04.000 So when Hasbro announced that they didn't actually get rid of mr. Potato head I tweeted it's time for Democrat states 0.80

01:00:10.000 to secede HAHAHA

01:00:12.000 So it's like, call me right wing then, just whatever.

01:00:15.000 So now I just decided... Yeah, you're messing with them.

01:00:17.000 I'm just, you know, Michael Malice tweeted because we had Ethan Suplee on the show and then he tricked Lydia into bringing him up.

01:00:24.000 Oh my gosh.

01:00:25.000 To what?

01:00:26.000 He texted Lydia and he was like, talk about me.

01:00:28.000 Yeah, he did.

01:00:29.000 It worked.

01:00:31.000 I learned from the best, Michael.

01:00:33.000 I learned from him how to tweet properly.

01:00:36.000 Because his tweets are always, you can't tell.

01:00:39.000 They're very opaque.

01:00:40.000 Yeah, you don't know what he's saying.

01:00:41.000 Yeah, he's sort of, in a lot of times, is wrapping logic into weird places too, right?

01:00:47.000 Is it good?

01:00:47.000 Is it correct?

01:00:48.000 The easiest example to explain to people is when Trump would tweet something, he would

01:00:51.000 say, we don't deserve him.

01:00:53.000 So you don't know if he's for or against Trump.

01:00:55.000 I think neutral comedy is the best.

01:00:57.000 And what was that guy's name?

01:00:59.000 Eddie Murphy.

01:01:00.000 Eddie Murphy.

01:01:01.000 No, no, the dude, Kaufman.

01:01:02.000 Andy Kaufman.

01:01:05.000 I mean, people didn't know if it was real or fake. 1.00

01:01:07.000 And I think that's the most, because so many, sad to say, stupid people that are bathing in stupidity think it's real, which is funny to me. 1.00

01:01:14.000 But it's also, I think, can be dangerous. 1.00

01:01:16.000 It is.

01:01:17.000 It depends on the time and place.

01:01:18.000 I was just, the Kaufman thing makes me laugh, because I watched the Comedy Store documentary.

01:01:22.000 And it's so funny, like, to go back and how much things are romanticized.

01:01:25.000 Like, even comics, like, they're like, oh, this guy was such a killer, but what you don't remember is how much they bombed at the time.

01:01:30.000 But I was watching the Jim Carrey on the Comedy Store documentary, and they go, He goes, before every, you know, when he did a bad gig, he would go sit in the piano and then close the piano and he goes, I won't come out of the piano until the, you know, until I've had my punishment and the show's over. 0.87

01:01:45.000 Then he would get out of the piano and I go, if any of my friends did that, I would be like, I am done with this loser.

01:01:51.000 Like, can you imagine how annoying that would be if Ian had a bad show and he goes, I need to punish myself by sitting in the thing and I'm gonna be in the fridge all night and you'd be like, alright, we need to deal with this Ian guy.

01:02:01.000 But then in the history books, they write it as like, Ian was such a, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:02:06.000 He was so in his head, but at the time he'd just be like the biggest eye roll in history.

01:02:11.000 Anyone doing that nonsense?

01:02:13.000 But that's why I mean, a Kaufman's great, but I bet you a lot of the things people were probably just like, can you Saturday Night Live in general is definitely romanticized.

01:02:23.000 I always hear about people saying, like, remember when Saturday Night Live was good?

01:02:26.000 And I'm like, no.

01:02:27.000 They just remember their era.

01:02:29.000 Everyone's like, the era that they kind of, you know, connected with for a second, you know?

01:02:33.000 Like for me, I remember Sandler and Spade and those guys.

01:02:35.000 And yeah, if I look back, I go, I don't know, maybe people before thought it was that.

01:02:39.000 Admit it, bro.

01:02:40.000 Lunch Ladyland is not funny.

01:02:41.000 Wayne's World was good.

01:02:42.000 Lunch Ladyland was not funny. 1.00

01:02:45.000 Lunch Ladyland? 0.81

01:02:46.000 Yeah.

01:02:47.000 Like Chris Farley?

01:02:47.000 Adam Sandler.

01:02:48.000 Sandler is playing the guitar and then everyone's there and Tracy Morgan's just standing there, I think, right?

01:02:53.000 I don't remember.

01:02:53.000 One of his originals?

01:02:54.000 Norm MacDonald's in it, that whole crew?

01:02:55.000 I think so, yeah, yeah.

01:02:56.000 I don't know, I like that stuff.

01:02:57.000 But I think that you have to...

01:02:59.000 I mean, maybe you were looking at the context at the time, but I think a lot of those things, looking at them after,

01:03:04.000 you don't realize that the point of it was how stupid it was, you know, in the context of what the comedy at the 0.95

01:03:10.000 time was. 0.99

01:03:11.000 You know, I think it feels kind of like a tick tocks all like random nonsense right now.

01:03:15.000 How willing are you to listen to this?

01:03:17.000 Because it's funny to me that you're actually paying money to listen to me snowball you with things I know aren't funny.

01:03:24.000 Like that's the comedy of Andy Kaufman in my opinion.

01:03:26.000 I feel like SNL is actually starting to get a little bit more courageous.

01:03:30.000 I don't really watch it all that much, but they have done some bits where I'm like, I'm really surprised.

01:03:34.000 They don't want Cuomo.

01:03:35.000 I'm pretty sure they had Cuomo and they had, um, who else was in it?

01:03:39.000 Do you remember?

01:03:41.000 It was called No Cuomo, and what happens is it's him and another guy, but it's chill.

01:03:49.000 Someone else made that joke.

01:03:50.000 No, no, no.

01:03:51.000 They did a bit about Ted Cruz.

01:03:52.000 No, they didn't.

01:03:53.000 I'm the first.

01:03:55.000 What did they say?

01:03:56.000 So the Ted Cruz bit was like him being really weaselly and just agreeing with whatever they told him to say, and then he was wearing Cancun clothes or whatever.

01:04:04.000 A bunch of conservatives got mad and they were like, what are they gonna rag on Cuomo?

01:04:07.000 And then some liberals were like, that's the same sketch.

01:04:11.000 And then they put out the full clip and then you see Cuomo's there getting ragged for murdering

01:04:15.000 elderly people. So I was like, oh wow. But you know what, Democrats really hate Cuomo now for

01:04:21.000 whatever reason. It's like they got their orders, I guess, from the money.

01:04:24.000 They 100% flipped on that guy. Yeah.

01:04:26.000 Yeah.

01:04:27.000 It might be happening the other day.

01:04:29.000 He's out there. There's protesters right now. I guess outside like, yeah, office chanting resignation or whatever.

01:04:33.000 He's done I mean it was but let's be real it's because SNL was brave

01:04:37.000 enough to stand up to him that these these Democrats finally 0.57

01:04:41.000 Potentially you might be I might be happening the other Would you do SNL Ryan if they offered it to you?

01:04:47.000 I've had conversations about doing that lots of that stuff, but I'm fairly

01:04:52.000 Not interested in general to take I mean I was in like traditional media my whole career in Canada

01:04:58.000 And when I came here, it's like I was pretty into doing the other thing

01:05:01.000 So that the same way that I'm saying these corporations and all that stuff like there's such a cost of that like right

01:05:07.000 now Who's all the best people they're all kind of doing their

01:05:10.000 own thing Like we're I think I'm making good things right now and

01:05:13.000 those like systems The money isn't a lot of times so much greater for all the nonsense you have to deal with, all the slowing you down.

01:05:23.000 And I think that maybe in 10 years I'd be, you know, let's do one of those.

01:05:26.000 But I think right now it's just, that would be like just ultimate like handcuffs.

01:05:31.000 I also, I also feel like the comedy you put up on social media is standing on the line Of where you're poking, you're like, you're legit poking the censorship bear.

01:05:42.000 Whereas SNL would be like, pull it back, pull it back.

01:05:44.000 But I'm, yeah, a hundred percent.

01:05:45.000 But I'm, and it's not like I don't have any lines.

01:05:48.000 Like when I'm making my things, I have my own perspective.

01:05:50.000 And you know, I think, try to be where it's funny.

01:05:52.000 I don't just try to, you know, just be like Sarah Silverman where she just says offensive things to make you angry.

01:05:57.000 That was like a style.

01:05:58.000 That was the hot thing back then.

01:05:59.000 But my point is I'm more concerned with, and I think that a lot of people, and even more so younger people than me, it's like the same, what you're doing.

01:06:06.000 I want to make my own SNL.

01:06:10.000 I ran my other TV shows.

01:06:12.000 I want to be SNL's competitor.

01:06:13.000 I don't want to join someone else's army machine that's been there for a hundred years and they have all these things they're beholden to.

01:06:20.000 You don't need Saturday night anymore.

01:06:22.000 The venues change.

01:06:23.000 It's now internet and it's static.

01:06:25.000 It can be any time, any day.

01:06:26.000 It can be ever-present.

01:06:27.000 This whole, like, let's all sit around on Monday night shows.

01:06:31.000 It's all done.

01:06:31.000 It's like done.

01:06:32.000 Yeah, but I want to be Lorne Michaels, not, you know, the new guy on SNL right now.

01:06:36.000 Well, let's do it.

01:06:38.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:06:38.000 I've got a ton of offers from a ton of companies.

01:06:41.000 And it's like, I wonder if people who like watch or listen to this show ever wonder why it is that TimCast.com is its own website and not a part of any one of these other political podcasting networks.

01:06:51.000 It's because I'm, you know, I'll be honest, I'm just smarter than all of them.

01:06:55.000 And they haven't made an offer yet.

01:06:58.000 And once they finally come and just give me anything, guys, please, I'll sign right away.

01:07:03.000 No, I've had a lot of conversation with some of these big networks, and I gotta tell you, I'm a bit of... I would swear right now, but we can't be family.

01:07:10.000 Yeah, me too. 1.00

01:07:11.000 I'm an arrogant prick. 0.99

01:07:13.000 Like, I've been straight up like... I was approached by one of the biggest podcast companies ever, like in existence right now. 0.98

01:07:22.000 Last podcast on the left, fourth Mike, Tim Pool.

01:07:25.000 Yeah, that's right.

01:07:26.000 No, no, no, I'm not talking about a podcast.

01:07:27.000 I'm talking about a network that produces them and then distributes them.

01:07:30.000 And they were basically like, we want to sign you.

01:07:33.000 It's going to be great.

01:07:34.000 Here's how much money you're going to make.

01:07:36.000 You're going to rival Ben Shapiro.

01:07:38.000 It's going to be the biggest show ever.

01:07:39.000 And I was like, wow.

01:07:41.000 I was like, look at all this.

01:07:41.000 Did your hat have to get a little smaller?

01:07:43.000 They told me I had to take the hat off.

01:07:45.000 And I was like, get out of here!

01:07:47.000 No, but I told them straight up.

01:07:50.000 So the general idea is there's a lot of interest in a moderate, left-leaning podcast because you have a lot of leftist podcasts, you have a lot of offensive humor podcasts, and you have tons of conservative talk radio.

01:08:02.000 And so they're like, we like the space you're occupying because there's definitely a market there.

01:08:07.000 And I said, straight up, if you get me a contract that is legitimate and fair and doesn't waste my time, I'll sign it.

01:08:15.000 But you know what they do in the entertainment industry?

01:08:16.000 Because you probably deal with this.

01:08:18.000 They send you the stock garbage contract that basically says, you work for us, you sign this over.

01:08:23.000 And I responded one time with, I will give you one more chance to send me a real contract offer.

01:08:29.000 And he put the slap emojis in between the words.

01:08:32.000 They say what I hear often is look it's standard business just send it to your

01:08:41.000 lawyer and I said have a nice day. You didn't want to get the lawyers involved.

01:08:44.000 The issue is if if you expect me to do business with you under the pretense 0.98

01:08:49.000 that I have to spend thousands of dollars on a lawyer to fix your garbage 1.00

01:08:52.000 contract you're wasting my time and money so I don't feel comfortable doing 0.97

01:08:56.000 Dude, you're making millions of dollars being an independent contract, basically working for yourself.

01:09:01.000 Why would you ever, ever give that?

01:09:03.000 I understand Rogan, I guess.

01:09:04.000 I mean, $100 million is a lot of money, but...

01:09:07.000 I would never give up your creative freedom.

01:09:09.000 You know, it's like he might've done, you know, whatever.

01:09:11.000 Everyone has their own reasons, but like right now where the energy is in making things and where the energy is in entertainment and especially comedy is not in the like mainstream platforms right now that are You know, have a bucket of problems there, which is kind of a, it's a fun way to look at it is every one of us, you know, in entertainment, when I was in music, same thing, you kind of are like, Oh, you don't want to sell out, right?

01:09:35.000 There's this idea that like, you want to kind of stay true and they're making it real, real easy to not sell out. 0.99

01:09:41.000 Cause you go, these places suck. 0.95

01:09:43.000 They don't even really want you to begin with. 0.98

01:09:45.000 So it's like, they're, you know, reluctantly giving you contracts just because you're popular.

01:09:49.000 So it's like, they're making it pretty easy to be like, yo, You know?

01:09:53.000 They promise you everything and give you nothing.

01:09:55.000 And that's usually what it is.

01:09:56.000 And so it's like... And then the other... Look, you make so much money, they go... These people, the only way to do it is to give them Rogan-style, where they drop a big bag at your cashier house because they're so late to the mark.

01:10:08.000 Look at these young guys, the Nelk Boys, Logan Paul, these guys. 1.00

01:10:10.000 It's like, if you want to get them to do anything, it's like, these guys have so much money.

01:10:13.000 It's too late.

01:10:14.000 So what are you offering them?

01:10:16.000 Exactly.

01:10:16.000 Tying their hands behind their back.

01:10:18.000 No, the thing that they think they're offering you is like legacy, you know?

01:10:23.000 Like, yeah, but you get to go to the Oscars, you know?

01:10:26.000 You get to be shift manager at a blockbuster.

01:10:29.000 It's 2003.

01:10:31.000 Things are going pretty good.

01:10:32.000 They're essentially, you know, they're offering you the middle management position in Hollywood. 0.53

01:10:37.000 But you get to be pretty friggin' famous.

01:10:39.000 You'll meet Brad Pitt, more likely, you know? 0.59

01:10:41.000 All that kind of stuff.

01:10:42.000 So it's the legacy nonsense.

01:10:43.000 They want to give you the watch, right?

01:10:44.000 I also think that our generation cares a lot less about that idea.

01:10:49.000 There's a lot of people who want that prestige.

01:10:51.000 But I'm like, look, I think Brad Pitt was amazing in Fight Club.

01:10:54.000 I think he's done a bunch of great movies. 0.99

01:10:56.000 I think he's got dumb politics. 0.97

01:10:57.000 If I met him, I'd say, oh, cool, dude. 0.99

01:10:59.000 Fight Club is an amazing, amazing movie.

01:11:02.000 And World War Z was cool.

01:11:04.000 And I think the Oceans movies were fun.

01:11:06.000 Nice to meet you.

01:11:06.000 They're grandfathered in, Legacy.

01:11:08.000 You're not going to be grandfathered in.

01:11:09.000 You know what I mean?

01:11:11.000 There's a lot of people that really thirst for that legacy attention.

01:11:14.000 Of course.

01:11:15.000 It comes from insecurity.

01:11:17.000 It comes from, you know, being new to the game.

01:11:19.000 And it also comes from like, uh, people that have a need for like a dad, you know, a lot of people need a manager and they need parents to sort of, you know, give them approval and tell them what to do.

01:11:29.000 A lot of people can't be their own.

01:11:30.000 Like, what do you mean I'm going to be that?

01:11:32.000 Like, so I think that it comes from that too.

01:11:34.000 A lot of people need a boss.

01:11:35.000 I'll tell you this.

01:11:36.000 I've gotten calls from some of the big, very obvious networks about signing.

01:11:39.000 And I just said.

01:11:40.000 I'll be honest, I'm starting a company that's going to be your competition.

01:11:43.000 Yeah.

01:11:44.000 And they're like, okay.

01:11:45.000 And I'm like, so I don't want to sign under you.

01:11:47.000 I'll get back to you in five years when I'm making you the same offer and I'm buying your company out.

01:11:52.000 Oh, smack down.

01:11:53.000 He said that to the local Arby's chain.

01:11:57.000 Let me tell you a story.

01:11:58.000 So I worked for Vice.

01:11:59.000 How about you worked for my hot dog truck?

01:12:02.000 You think I'm joking?

01:12:03.000 No, you said that to Vice?

01:12:04.000 Let me tell you a story.

01:12:05.000 So I once heard a story about, I was reading about Vice.

01:12:08.000 I worked at Vice.

01:12:09.000 I got flown out to Antalya, Turkey to party with the executives and the higher-ups.

01:12:15.000 And hung out with Shane sometimes, like a couple times.

01:12:18.000 Not like I was good friends with him or anything.

01:12:20.000 Shane Dawson, you too.

01:12:21.000 Yeah, that's right.

01:12:22.000 Not Shane Smith, the CEO.

01:12:24.000 But I read a story about how when they were up and coming, he went to this meeting with Viacom and he was walking around looking at the expensive paintings and checking out the furniture and everything as if he was expecting to have it and own it and buy it.

01:12:40.000 And his attitude was very much, I'm smarter, I'm better, I'm faster, and I'm going to buy you.

01:12:45.000 And then where did the guy end up?

01:12:46.000 Look, you can complain all day and night about Vice, but for a while, they were the cream of the crop in terms of digital media, and they were worth an obscene amount of money.

01:12:55.000 And then the dude cashed out.

01:12:56.000 Probably still are, yeah.

01:12:57.000 Or he is, at least.

01:12:58.000 Well, he cashed out.

01:12:59.000 He's rich forever.

01:13:00.000 And so I hear these stories, and I've just straight up been like, that's the attitude.

01:13:05.000 You're sure of yourself. 0.99

01:13:06.000 You don't gotta be a dick. 0.99

01:13:07.000 But you go into these meetings, and you're like, I know what I'm doing and I'm so confident what I'm doing. 0.99

01:13:14.000 I don't want your money.

01:13:15.000 I don't need your money.

01:13:16.000 In five years, I'll be all I will own your company.

01:13:18.000 The first part of it's the hugest part, you know, you know what you want to accomplish and that's not always you can put in words.

01:13:24.000 sometimes it's energy, you know, you kind of know where you want to go.

01:13:27.000 Like you, what you want, Mark, you want to leave, like what you want to create,

01:13:30.000 what, what you, what energy you want to kind of leave on this world.

01:13:33.000 And, and you look at these places and they offer you things you go, I

01:13:36.000 don't think this helps really, you know, and sometimes it might, right.

01:13:38.000 And you might align, but right now.

01:13:40.000 It they're doing their best to make themselves unattractive to the top talent.

01:13:46.000 Yep.

01:13:46.000 Come here.

01:13:47.000 You'll make a good amount of money, but you'll have no long-term prospects because we'll own the IP.

01:13:53.000 And if you do anything, we can make you disappear.

01:13:56.000 With the cancelling stuff, with everything that's happening in the world, if I was coming out of college right now or high school, The obvious answer is you gotta start your own thing that you're gonna own, even if it's a small company.

01:14:14.000 Whatever you do, it should be your own thing because these jobs are too disposable.

01:14:18.000 The world changes too much.

01:14:19.000 You have to kind of create your own thing right now.

01:14:21.000 Let's talk about Bill Burr in this context.

01:14:23.000 So we have this story from CBR.

01:14:25.000 The Mandalorian Bill Burr defends Gina Carano slams cancel culture.

01:14:30.000 Comedian, actor, and podcaster Bill Burr calls out the toxic nature of cancel culture and defends his fired Mandalorian co-star Gina Carano.

01:14:38.000 Well, good for him.

01:14:39.000 Absolutely.

01:14:40.000 But this story about Gina Carano exactly exemplifies what you were just saying about why take the risk.

01:14:45.000 You signed with one of these companies.

01:14:48.000 They could just snap their fingers and fire you because you said a word someone didn't like at some point, maybe in six months, maybe a year.

01:14:54.000 Take it away as quick as they gave it to you.

01:14:56.000 Yeah, and the problem is, let's say you sign a deal that says, like, maybe they're buying you out, or maybe they're like, okay, we're gonna buy your show, we'll own it, and we'll pay you this large sum of money, and it's like, here's the money up front for the show, and then you'll get X amount of dollars to continue producing the show as lead producer executive, and then they also have a morality clause where it says, if you do anything obscene, they could terminate you.

01:15:22.000 You're like, I got this really great deal, it's awesome, Let's be real, Joe Rogan, I'd have to imagine that Spotify has some control in that regard.

01:15:29.000 Yeah.

01:15:30.000 Where they could, you know, be like, oh, look what you said, and you know, I don't want to necessarily, you know, talk about Joe's deal, because who the hell knows, but I think that all of this stuff, it's, they want to take this as just a given.

01:15:41.000 You know that old thing where it's like these people think they can just move chess pieces

01:15:44.000 around and you know people don't react to what happens.

01:15:49.000 But the truth is like I know people with normal jobs and they go there and they make them

01:15:52.000 sign the clauses about what they put on Twitter and what they put on Facebook and you go this

01:15:56.000 is people are starting to realize this when they get this.

01:15:59.000 Now the same way that if someone gives you a job and you go it's 50 miles away from my

01:16:02.000 house that's going to be a bit of a pain.

01:16:04.000 The same way you're getting a contract that says you know you can't be on Twitter you

01:16:08.000 So all it takes is for other companies to realize, like, there's monetary values on all of these things.

01:16:12.000 If I go, okay, I get 60 grand here for whatever, you know, my middle job or whatever, but I'm allowed to say whatever I want, or this place is offering, you know, 65 grand, but they kind of, is this five grand worth me?

01:16:25.000 But a lot of people don't know this.

01:16:27.000 I think people are starting to factor these things intrinsically.

01:16:31.000 The, you know, the level of what these places are asking for you. 0.95

01:16:34.000 They want you to act like you're the president to work at a friggin' bank. 0.68

01:16:37.000 Well, let me read a little bit from Bill Burr to show you what he said. 0.96

01:16:39.000 For those unfamiliar, Gina Carano.

01:16:42.000 She was one of the stars on The Mandalorian, the Disney Plus show.

01:16:45.000 It's a Star Wars show.

01:16:46.000 And she posted on Instagram, the photo she used was of actual Nazi Germany, probably not a good photo to use.

01:16:53.000 But the context was, don't demonize your neighbors over their political views.

01:16:57.000 She didn't compare anybody to Republicans or anything like that.

01:16:59.000 She actually just posted the Amazon logo.

01:17:01.000 Yeah, it was just the Amazon logo.

01:17:03.000 But here's what Bill Burr said.

01:17:05.000 They said on the Bill Burtt podcast, he said she was an absolute sweetheart, super effing, super nice effing person.

01:17:12.000 Unless she did some truly horrible ish or said something over some overtly racist ish, he continued.

01:17:18.000 I don't know.

01:17:18.000 I think there is just too many channels and then you got to do sensational ish.

01:17:22.000 I don't know what the F it is.

01:17:24.000 I'm on that effing show. 0.70

01:17:25.000 Now I got to watch what the F I say.

01:17:27.000 I think that was, that was, that was actually great on Bill Burtt's part, but he represents the every man.

01:17:32.000 But that's the point.

01:17:33.000 They could cancel him for this.

01:17:34.000 They could cancel him for this.

01:17:36.000 He's probably got a morality clause in his contract that says, if you say something offensive, but who defines offensive?

01:17:41.000 So he comes to the fence of Gina Crono saying she was super effing nice.

01:17:45.000 Oh, give me two seconds for some woke leftists to get angry. 0.73

01:17:48.000 And then Disney is going to be like, Bill, you can't come out and defend this stuff.

01:17:51.000 And they're probably not going to do it, but they could, if they want to. 0.98

01:17:54.000 Who in their right mind would sign a dumb contract like that? 0.98

01:17:57.000 Well, this is for him specifically. 0.99

01:17:59.000 He doesn't need these things.

01:18:00.000 And he's in the position of power a little bit, where if they go, oh, we kick him off this show, he goes, oh, whatever.

01:18:06.000 Okay, whatever.

01:18:07.000 It's the 10th thing I do.

01:18:08.000 You know what I mean?

01:18:09.000 So there's like a power dynamic when it stops being something you need and something that you could do or not do.

01:18:17.000 There is a bigger issue there.

01:18:18.000 The cascade effect.

01:18:20.000 If he gets canceled from the show and then Disney issues a statement saying he defended racist comments and was extremely offensive and we had no choice, then other companies might be like, look, there's a backlash going on.

01:18:33.000 We don't want to absorb any of that.

01:18:34.000 You know, not to just be like the complete, like free market or sorted out guy, but yeah.

01:18:38.000 And if that happens, the next generation of people like me and my friends are going to be like, no, don't take a job on those places, dude.

01:18:45.000 Do you remember what happened to Bill Burr?

01:18:46.000 That's exactly what's happening right now.

01:18:48.000 That's exactly what we're saying.

01:18:50.000 This is why I don't sign any of these contracts.

01:18:52.000 I know that if I sign any of these deals with any one of these networks, it's a matter of time.

01:18:57.000 I don't even trust these conservative networks.

01:19:01.000 I don't think they would have your back if you said something truly believable.

01:19:05.000 Even if they will right now, in this context of the culture war dynamic, what does that look like in a year and a half?

01:19:11.000 I don't know, man.

01:19:12.000 Things change pretty quickly.

01:19:14.000 I mean, maybe... I would argue many of the conservative channels have much more integrity than many of the traditional Hollywood type stuff.

01:19:23.000 I just wouldn't sign those deals.

01:19:24.000 Ideally, in my, you know, what I've kind of said, I like the idea of a non-partisan network to begin with.

01:19:32.000 Like, even when... Like, think about music.

01:19:34.000 It's kind of like, what you want is...

01:19:38.000 Like a guy that's like, hey, I don't really get it, but the kids seem to.

01:19:42.000 Not a guy that has a lot to say to you.

01:19:44.000 What you want is a network that's like, yep, people seem to be responding to this, it's funny, or, you know, Tim seems to have a big audience, people like it, we should get him on the, as opposed to- You want a person who's gonna be like, oh, so we host this one guy, the left hates him, he's really offensive, we don't know a whole lot about, you know, we don't care too much, it makes money for us.

01:19:59.000 We do have this lefty guy in our network, though, and he does these things, the conservatives really hate him.

01:20:03.000 You want somebody who approaches it like a business.

01:20:05.000 That's what I think that a lot of people, even the younger people, are kind of looking at it like that.

01:20:11.000 I don't care what your political values are.

01:20:13.000 The bigger issue is when they're scared and it's a business.

01:20:17.000 They say, we don't want to lose half our customers because they're freaking out.

01:20:20.000 So, bye-bye.

01:20:21.000 Yeah, with Gina Carano, I didn't know who she was before the scandal, and Bill Burr is a superstar.

01:20:25.000 So like, they look at their bottom line, they're like, you know, we can afford to lose Gina, we can't afford to lose Bill.

01:20:30.000 Well, Bill Burr is a comedy superstar.

01:20:32.000 He's not like an A-list Hollywood actor in that context.

01:20:35.000 I mean, you know, I don't know exactly what the hierarchy looks like, but it's the little world I live in, some of these people we go, oh, that's the biggest guy in the world.

01:20:43.000 He swears a lot.

01:20:44.000 Yeah, but Matt Damon walks in and everyone goes, oh.

01:20:47.000 Matt, you realize the difference?

01:20:48.000 Isn't it the weirdest thing?

01:20:49.000 It's just like, why?

01:20:50.000 Who cares?

01:20:51.000 Obviously who cares, but that's just the way the world is.

01:20:54.000 This is a really interesting subject, because I don't think we talked with Ethan Splee about this specifically on the show, but we did briefly touch on it.

01:21:02.000 I wanted to get into this more, but this idea that the traditional idea of fame is over.

01:21:07.000 Because now you have HBO Max, I think it's called HBO Max, where they're doing simultaneous theater releases and streaming releases.

01:21:16.000 So people aren't going to go to the movie theaters for these big movies and spend 20 bucks per person anymore, for the most part.

01:21:23.000 They're gonna spend 20 bucks for the whole movie and then watch it with like 50 people at their house while they order pizza or whatever.

01:21:28.000 So why would someone cast Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, you know, who was the person you mentioned?

01:21:34.000 Matt Damon.

01:21:35.000 One of those guys.

01:21:37.000 One of the two brothers.

01:21:38.000 You booked them because you put their name on top of the movie, right?

01:21:40.000 Yeah.

01:21:41.000 And that way people see it in the marquee and they see it in the ads and they say, ooh, I want to go see this and they go to the theaters.

01:21:45.000 I think now that there's so many different streaming services, so many different movies coming out.

01:21:50.000 Like I mentioned, that one movie, Spiral, came out on Shudder.

01:21:52.000 It just came out.

01:21:54.000 I watched it.

01:21:55.000 It's not a blockbuster movie, but all the movies are basically being made equal at this point.

01:22:00.000 Sure, there'll be big marketing and big budget campaigns.

01:22:02.000 How did that work out for Wonder Woman?

01:22:04.000 Apparently, Wonder Woman, like, fizzled and made barely any money. 0.97

01:22:07.000 Because it was a streaming release.

01:22:08.000 Yeah, and that's with me renting it 50 times.

01:22:10.000 Yeah, I know, and I, you know, I signed up for 50 accounts to buy it because I just love Gal Gadot.

01:22:15.000 No, no, no, but seriously, why pay Gal Gadot, you know, $20 million to do a movie when you don't need her name on it because it's not going to do that well anyway?

01:22:23.000 Yeah, especially when they've lost like Hollywood mastered their star making formula, you know, the way that certain labels have in the past or whatever, like they were able to make her and then, you know, sign her to these contracts, and it was all part of the system.

01:22:37.000 So they bring people in and they make them, you know, the next Gal Gadot, whatever it is, right?

01:22:41.000 But they're doing everything in their power to, like, ruin their vouch and their star system.

01:22:46.000 So when I go back to the younger kids, and I think me and you are around the same age, so we're in the middle, there's a lot of young people right now that they've mastered.

01:22:54.000 They have these huge Instagram accounts, huge YouTube channels.

01:22:57.000 They know how to make another guy.

01:22:57.000 TikTok.

01:22:58.000 So like, you know, I talked about the Nelk boys, you know, I just think those guys are interesting,

01:23:02.000 but they literally brought another guy in, brought him, got him to a million followers,

01:23:07.000 got his channel to a million followers.

01:23:09.000 Then they're like, we should start a management company.

01:23:10.000 They basically mastered star making the same way that Hollywood has.

01:23:14.000 So- Just call it.

01:23:16.000 At the same time, Hollywood's wrecking their star making because they go, check out this comic.

01:23:19.000 They're so funny.

01:23:20.000 And everyone goes, huh?

01:23:21.000 They go, what about this one?

01:23:22.000 They go, huh?

01:23:23.000 And then everyone's like, we got to stop paying attention.

01:23:25.000 So these guys are wrecking their star making formula.

01:23:27.000 Think about it.

01:23:28.000 Same time everyone else is figuring it out.

01:23:29.000 Hollywood is like Blockbuster Video.

01:23:32.000 They've basically become the old, stodgy, uncool, Or they're becoming old, stodgy, and uncool.

01:23:39.000 Like you mentioned, kids know how to make stars themselves.

01:23:42.000 They know how to use social media.

01:23:44.000 They don't need the system anymore.

01:23:45.000 But it's also, the worlds are completely separate.

01:23:48.000 The ad revenue system on traditional media is so different from digital media.

01:23:52.000 It's changing, though.

01:23:53.000 It's getting close.

01:23:54.000 A lot of these places... I mean, YouTube is worth more than Instagram.

01:23:59.000 It's all based on how people buy, but it's not...

01:24:02.000 It's not that crazy different.

01:24:04.000 Well, but it kind of is.

01:24:05.000 Check this out.

01:24:06.000 When you buy an ad on, say, Tucker Carlson's show, you're not going to get, like, the numbers you get for Tucker's ratings are an estimate based on a sample size from, like, Nielsen boxes.

01:24:15.000 Fake boxes that no one's actually using.

01:24:18.000 I mean, so you're hoping it's true.

01:24:19.000 Yeah.

01:24:20.000 And it's probably close.

01:24:22.000 With digital, we know the exact number.

01:24:26.000 And you know the exact demographic of that number.

01:24:29.000 Well, so with the internet, you can refine your ads and really maximize your price point and your profit.

01:24:34.000 With buying ads on TV, they basically tell you, here's how much it costs for an ad.

01:24:39.000 It's like, you know, some websites say it's like, Rachel Maddow's like $8,500 for a commercial to run on her channel.

01:24:46.000 These advertisers will pay that.

01:24:47.000 It's not very much money.

01:24:48.000 Yeah, it used to be like $20,000 or something.

01:24:50.000 Go try to buy a commercial on Logan Paul's podcast.

01:24:53.000 I'm sure it's more than that.

01:24:54.000 Absolutely.

01:24:54.000 Way more than that.

01:24:55.000 I guarantee you it's going to cost way more than that.

01:24:57.000 Yeah, so you and she's getting she gets at what like two to three million premium ads.

01:25:03.000 He's got Nike I was watching when you watch Fox News I told you this earlier, but it made me laugh so much that they can't get good sponsors.

01:25:09.000 So they have sleep apnea mask cleaner.

01:25:11.000 That's Fox They have the funniest ads like orthotics You know remover so I'll write this point up and then we'll get into that a little bit.

01:25:20.000 But basically, these advertisers spend the eight grand and then just look at their sales

01:25:27.000 and see if they go up and then try and figure out if the ad campaign worked.

01:25:31.000 With online, I can literally see people click the link.

01:25:35.000 I know if the link is actually working.

01:25:38.000 So what's happening is in a lot of ways, there's more ad space, there's more real estate for

01:25:42.000 ads, so the prices go down.

01:25:44.000 But anyway, I digress.

01:25:45.000 The main point of this is, it's a totally different world, based on a lot of guessing.

01:25:49.000 And now, it's going away.

01:25:51.000 It's becoming worth less and less and less.

01:25:53.000 Fox News is running pillow commercials and sleep apnea commercials.

01:25:56.000 Rachel Maddow's ads are like... I gotta tell you, man.

01:26:00.000 And they're not even the parts that they can, and to go back to, because you're so right, but the even worse part of it is that even the data they do have, they don't want to listen to for other reasons.

01:26:12.000 It's the equivalent of they go, actually, this is what they like.

01:26:16.000 There's a huge market for this perspective.

01:26:18.000 The world's craving, you know, this perspective.

01:26:19.000 And then they go, what if we go with this one?

01:26:22.000 And you go, this numbers are way higher on this one.

01:26:24.000 They go, eh, we can't do that.

01:26:25.000 Check this out.

01:26:25.000 I'll give everybody some top secret information.

01:26:28.000 Ooh.

01:26:28.000 So, you can Google search this.

01:26:32.000 If you look up, like, cable channel ad rates, they say... I just said Rachel Maddow because I was looking into it.

01:26:37.000 It's like $8,500, I think, for a 30-second... 30 seconds!

01:26:41.000 Do you know how much it would cost you for 30 seconds on, okay, so she gets like three million viewers.

01:26:49.000 If you found a YouTube video with three million views, do you know how much it would cost you to get a promo spot in that YouTube video?

01:26:54.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:26:55.000 Three million?

01:26:55.000 60 grand.

01:26:56.000 Yeah, that sounds about right.

01:26:57.000 About $60,000.

01:26:58.000 If somebody can get three million views per video, they're probably selling it for like 50 to like 75, depending on where the ad appears and whether or not they consider themselves to be a premium brand that is better.

01:27:10.000 And you don't have to film an ad.

01:27:11.000 You just go, Hey, also, instead of filming a million dollar commercial, you go, Hey, go check out, you know, Tim's beanies.

01:27:17.000 Yep.

01:27:18.000 So companies will say, here's the script, promote it.

01:27:20.000 Here's what we want to see.

01:27:22.000 And then the YouTubers do all the work.

01:27:24.000 Like when we do the ads, we, I just read and talk about the product.

01:27:27.000 And so it actually costs less because you don't have to make it.

01:27:30.000 I would say that it costs more money, probably.

01:27:34.000 Well, it's hard to say.

01:27:36.000 Depending on the segment we do, it can cost more money to advertise on this podcast than it would on Rachel Maddow.

01:27:41.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:27:42.000 Easily.

01:27:43.000 That's crazy.

01:27:44.000 The old world is in decay.

01:27:45.000 Yeah.

01:27:46.000 You know, so anyway, the main point of the segment, because it's like we've veered into a bunch of different subjects, is I would never sign a contract with any of these big networks.

01:27:53.000 If Fox News or CNN or any, well, if CNN and MSNBC came to me and they were like, would you like to sign?

01:27:58.000 I'd be like, surely you jest.

01:28:00.000 If Fox News came to me, I would also be like, are you kidding?

01:28:03.000 No, not gonna happen.

01:28:04.000 I wouldn't sign with any of these companies now for the digital media ones I think it's great that they're smarter and doing better in their business models But you know, you know, we're gonna do we're launching a new podcast soon.

01:28:15.000 It's gonna be crime cults mystery in the paranormal It's gonna be evergreen stories and not news related.

01:28:21.000 We've got some crazy stuff.

01:28:22.000 We're getting lined up.

01:28:23.000 It's it's legit.

01:28:24.000 So we've got some like like Potential cult members and people who deny ever being in a cult.

01:28:30.000 Cool guests.

01:28:31.000 Yeah.

01:28:31.000 So it's going to be like cool guests.

01:28:32.000 It's going to be like a bit of scripted, but we're going to start producing this content and we're going to create a new site that's going to be, you know, nonpartisan content.

01:28:41.000 So it'll have talk, it'll have content, it'll have jokes, it'll have entertainment.

01:28:45.000 And then we're going to create something bigger and better than all of these other platforms and it needs to happen.

01:28:48.000 I want to build these multi-channel networks kind of thing and start an organization, but I want to make sure that the people that we sign and empower are fully empowered, that we don't end up ripping them off with, like, we own your content, we own your ad revenue.

01:29:03.000 I want to give people an opportunity.

01:29:05.000 That's old school, bro.

01:29:05.000 I know.

01:29:06.000 That makes no sense.

01:29:07.000 Think about this.

01:29:08.000 There are a lot of companies that say, we're going to sign you.

01:29:11.000 And you'll start a new YouTube channel, and we'll pay you, but we keep the YouTube channel.

01:29:16.000 And I'm like, why?

01:29:17.000 What happens when the contract is up?

01:29:18.000 Are you gonna produce content?

01:29:19.000 Let's say someone signs you, Ian, and they're like, you'll make a YouTube channel, but we own the YouTube channel.

01:29:24.000 A year later, the channel's dead.

01:29:25.000 It's making, like, pennies a month, worthless, and you don't produce anymore.

01:29:31.000 What are they gonna do?

01:29:32.000 Is some, like, executive gonna be like, I'm John for the Ian channel?

01:29:36.000 They tried doing it.

01:29:36.000 Discovery tried doing this.

01:29:38.000 I think it was NowThis.

01:29:40.000 Was it NowThis?

01:29:40.000 That sounds right.

01:29:41.000 They bought Discovery.

01:29:42.000 Yeah.

01:29:42.000 Or something.

01:29:43.000 And then, or something happened and then they changed.

01:29:45.000 It was like, one of the Discovery channels turned into a NowThis channel.

01:29:48.000 Everyone was like, we don't want this!

01:29:49.000 We didn't subscribe to this!

01:29:50.000 You can't turn Netflix into Amazon and then expect everyone to just be like, okay. 0.70

01:29:55.000 So it's dumb now, the way the traditional media works, saying, make a social media channel and we own it.

01:29:59.000 Great. 0.75

01:30:00.000 So in two years, you'll have a dead property. 1.00

01:30:02.000 That's stupid. 0.99

01:30:03.000 Let the person keep it as part of the incentive package. 1.00

01:30:06.000 I don't want to own it.

01:30:07.000 They're your followers.

01:30:07.000 I'm not going to take your Twitter from you, but you know that these big cable channels do this?

01:30:11.000 When you get hired, they make you create a new Twitter.

01:30:13.000 They own.

01:30:14.000 It's crazy.

01:30:15.000 Yep.

01:30:15.000 It's like the second POTUS Twitter.

01:30:17.000 The second POTUS?

01:30:18.000 Yeah, like the president has his old Twitter, and then he gets his new president Twitter.

01:30:22.000 Oh, right, right, right, right.

01:30:24.000 And then they have to transfer it over.

01:30:26.000 It makes sense to have in your contract, like, you'll make the channel, and for the duration of our contract, we get the revenue from it, and we control it as if we did own it.

01:30:35.000 Upon your contract ending, then Well, a lot of times I guess they change, they keep the show going without you.

01:30:41.000 That's the other thing.

01:30:42.000 Well, but I mean, like, a lot of these deals that are happening now with YouTube are like, we're gonna sign you to do a new YouTube show that you host because people really like you, and then we keep the channel.

01:30:50.000 And I'm like, okay, then keep the dead IP after I leave.

01:30:54.000 It makes no sense.

01:30:55.000 The deal should be.

01:30:56.000 Yeah, but then they make, they go, uh, Tim Guest in IRL hosted by DJ Qualls.

01:31:03.000 DJ Qualls?

01:31:04.000 Wow, what a throwback to that guy.

01:31:06.000 Where did that come from?

01:31:08.000 I just thought it would be a good replacement.

01:31:10.000 I was telling Tim that.

01:31:11.000 Dude, I'd be stoked to have him on the show.

01:31:13.000 That'd be awesome.

01:31:14.000 I want to do, like, build a network like that where you empower the user to own their own content and to, like, see them flourish, but you just kind of create, like, a seed organization.

01:31:23.000 That's like an MCN a little bit.

01:31:25.000 Yeah, but, like, inverted, where you're not in it to rip these guys off.

01:31:28.000 You really want to see them get better, because that's how you attract the best people anyway.

01:31:30.000 I'm sure if you asked them, they wouldn't say, oh, yeah, we're in this to rip these guys off.

01:31:35.000 Right.

01:31:35.000 They all start like that.

01:31:37.000 Well, I was involved with Maker Studios in the early days.

01:31:40.000 Yeah, the big one.

01:31:41.000 Yeah, I watched a lot of the contracts go awry.

01:31:43.000 Like, Philip DeFranco was part of it in the very beginning, and they wanted all his revenue.

01:31:47.000 And he was like, why am I—he was the first one to realize, like, why am I doing all this work and paying all this revenue to Maker when I could just be keeping it all myself?

01:31:54.000 Peace, guys.

01:31:55.000 So I took that as, like, I learned my lesson from that. 0.60

01:31:58.000 I've had a lot of conversations with these YouTube people, and you're kind of like, I go, I don't, listen, I'm like a loopy guy, but I don't think I'm stupid.

01:32:06.000 And then I like have these conversations and they sell me the whole pitch and I go, okay, I just listened to you talk for like 20 minutes and I, honest to God, have no idea what you're, what you do.

01:32:16.000 What do you guys do?

01:32:17.000 What do these companies do?

01:32:18.000 They're like, no, and we have take your channel and there's like tips and tricks and we have, we maximize this and maximize, and you go, what are you talking about?

01:32:25.000 What do you do?

01:32:27.000 I have a big announcement to make, ladies and gentlemen.

01:32:29.000 We are here today with Ryan Long on the spot.

01:32:31.000 I'm going to make him an offer right now to join the new network.

01:32:34.000 Now here's the deal.

01:32:36.000 We're going to make a new channel and we're going to call it Ryan Long Comedy 2.

01:32:39.000 We own it.

01:32:41.000 We get all the money.

01:32:41.000 Didn't you just tell me that?

01:32:43.000 This is the worst idea. 1.00

01:32:44.000 And no idiot would take this. 1.00

01:32:46.000 That's the joke. 1.00

01:32:49.000 You can't have it.

01:32:50.000 Ian started talking about it.

01:32:52.000 I will play Ryan.

01:32:52.000 Making all the money and then Tim's like... I didn't forget about this, making all the money.

01:32:56.000 And we're replacing you with Ian.

01:32:58.000 We're recasting my mom.

01:33:01.000 No, no, no, we're just straight up doing it.

01:33:02.000 We're buying you and then recasting you with Ian.

01:33:04.000 Buying me IP.

01:33:05.000 Yeah, I'm in.

01:33:05.000 Ryan's on comedy too.

01:33:07.000 It's a win-win.

01:33:08.000 Starring Ian Crossman.

01:33:09.000 It's number two and it's a, you know, there's like a little poop emoji because it's double on time.

01:34:36.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:34:36.000 Oh, wait.

01:34:42.000 Oh wait, yeah, yeah, I know a lot to say.

01:34:44.000 It's not a secret anymore.

01:34:45.000 Yeah.

01:34:46.000 Trent Lamalino says, dude, I always push my friend about wanting a Static Shock and Zoid's

01:34:51.000 live action show movie. 0.99

01:34:54.000 It's a bummer they're changing Static Shock to be some stupid Black Lives Matter protest 0.99

01:34:57.000 thing because the original story was legit. 0.99

01:34:59.000 That's too bad.

01:35:00.000 Whatever. 1.00

01:35:01.000 I guess kids, you know, they're probably, there's like some 13 year old like, that stupid old man thinks Static Shock is dumb. 1.00

01:35:06.000 What a loser. 1.00

01:35:07.000 He's so dumb. 1.00

01:35:08.000 Yeah, but there is also that thing of, and it always goes back there, but it's like, Can't you just make new things? 0.99

01:35:14.000 Like, if Hollywood wasn't so friggin' lazy, they're like, if you want to make a Black Lives Matter superhero, make a Black Lives Matter superhero. 0.89

01:35:20.000 Do you have to take everything and remake it differently? 0.98

01:35:24.000 Like, just start from scratch and write a movie.

01:35:28.000 Are you not Hollywood?

01:35:29.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

01:35:30.000 Oh, someone's talking about Ryan.

01:35:34.000 SubZeroBeef says Ryan Long equals pro breakdancer.

01:35:37.000 Lace the loop.

01:35:38.000 Is that true?

01:35:39.000 I went on Luis Gomez's podcast in New York and we were having a competition.

01:35:44.000 He said that I couldn't do lace the loop.

01:35:46.000 If you know what that is, it's when you hold your one leg and then jump over the other leg.

01:35:49.000 And then I did it and fell over and smashed their TV.

01:35:54.000 Well, there you go.

01:35:55.000 Brilliant.

01:35:56.000 I still did it though.

01:35:57.000 Physical comedy.

01:35:58.000 All right.

01:35:58.000 WhatBroke says, Tim, I never super chat, but I'm begging you to look into getting JP Sears onto the show.

01:36:04.000 YouTube channel AwakenWithJP, dude has arguably some of the boldest political commentary on YouTube.

01:36:09.000 Yeah, but he's also a really, really big channel.

01:36:12.000 The one thing people need to understand about getting other people who host shows is that they're like, I'd love to come on your show, but I host my own show.

01:36:19.000 I don't have time, or why would I?

01:36:20.000 You know what I mean?

01:36:21.000 What the hell is that supposed to mean?

01:36:23.000 He looked at you right when he said it.

01:36:24.000 You know, we can't get people that are, like, big, for example.

01:36:27.000 Or high quality.

01:36:28.000 No, no, no.

01:36:30.000 Like, how often do you put out content?

01:36:33.000 J.P.

01:36:33.000 does a similar thing to me, but I think he's very funny.

01:36:36.000 What I'm trying to say is, I'm not saying this about J.P.

01:36:41.000 He does put out a lot of content, though.

01:36:43.000 People like Kyle Kalinske, for instance, it would be really hard to book because he does a daily show.

01:36:47.000 When's he going to take time off his show to come do my show?

01:36:49.000 That makes no sense.

01:36:50.000 But that's not what J.P.

01:36:50.000 Sears does.

01:36:51.000 No, I know, I know.

01:36:51.000 That's what I was saying.

01:36:52.000 I wasn't referring to him specifically about that kind of stuff.

01:36:55.000 Did you just take my water?

01:36:56.000 Oh, maybe.

01:36:57.000 Oh, here's mine.

01:36:58.000 Oh, jeez.

01:36:58.000 You legit just took my water bottle.

01:37:00.000 We're stealing water from each other. 0.99

01:37:02.000 Oh, crap. 0.99

01:37:02.000 Oh, we're sharing cooties here. 0.99

01:37:03.000 I'm growing a beanie.

01:37:04.000 That's how you know.

01:37:08.000 It's for people that do a daily show, it is very difficult.

01:37:08.000 But you are right.

01:37:11.000 Yeah, it's almost impossible.

01:37:12.000 All right, we got Nyasha Meezer says, keep up the good work.

01:37:14.000 Would you be able to get Tom McDonald on your show?

01:37:17.000 Yes, as soon as he's available.

01:37:20.000 I suppose.

01:37:21.000 Fellow Canadian.

01:37:22.000 That's right.

01:37:22.000 We're surrounded.

01:37:23.000 Dude, there's like 50 Canadians who I've reached out to, and I'm like, would you like to come on the show?

01:37:29.000 And they're all like, oh, that'd be amazing.

01:37:30.000 When?

01:37:30.000 And I'm like, as soon as you're available.

01:37:31.000 And they're like, we're locked in Canada.

01:37:33.000 Ooh, that'd be great.

01:37:33.000 And I'm like, oh.

01:37:34.000 They can't come.

01:37:35.000 Are they ever?

01:37:36.000 Are they ever locked in Canada?

01:37:37.000 Yeah.

01:37:38.000 Yeah.

01:37:38.000 So you got family up there right now?

01:37:40.000 They are in certain places.

01:37:42.000 So if you're in like Ottawa, they have a curfew and they actually give people tickets for it.

01:37:47.000 So there's people, there's all these stories of, you know, a woman that she's dropping her kids.

01:37:51.000 I mean, they sound like freak cases, but there are lots of them.

01:37:55.000 And I know people that have had this.

01:37:56.000 She's dropping her kids off at her mom's house and she stayed there.

01:37:59.000 And then the neighbors called the cops because there's five people there.

01:38:01.000 And then they get a thousand dollar ticket and people were just out.

01:38:05.000 It's honestly so comical.

01:38:07.000 I'm just like, yeah, country, you guys are out of control over there.

01:38:11.000 But, you know, I'm sure that some people that live some places are like, that's fine here and whatever.

01:38:16.000 I'm not even obeying it and blah, blah, blah.

01:38:18.000 Not there, huh?

01:38:18.000 There are a lot of people in hotels.

01:38:20.000 So if you want to go back, this is the funniest one.

01:38:23.000 And Australia has this too.

01:38:26.000 Australia is even funnier.

01:38:27.000 So they basically lock you in a hotel and you really can't leave.

01:38:30.000 And my buddy, Evan Demaree, who's a comic from Canada, he was locked in the hotel because he's in Australia right now.

01:38:36.000 And while he was there, one of the girls that was there was like, screw this. 1.00

01:38:40.000 She's like a party girl. 1.00

01:38:41.000 And she tried to escape. 0.96

01:38:42.000 And then people filmed her trying to escape.

01:38:45.000 So they got it on video.

01:38:46.000 News covered it.

01:38:47.000 Cops came.

01:38:48.000 They found the girl, brought her back.

01:38:50.000 And then they had a guard outside of the girl's door.

01:38:52.000 She was trying to go to escape to go party, right?

01:38:56.000 No, well they bring her back.

01:38:57.000 She was already in jail. 0.99

01:38:58.000 They bring her back to her current jail and she can only come out for a peanut butter sandwich. 0.94

01:39:02.000 They charge people with crimes for that?

01:39:04.000 Yeah, I'm not sure the extent to what happened with this girl.

01:39:07.000 But in Canada, they started essentially being like, okay, you have to stay at this hotel and also you have to pay for the hotel.

01:39:15.000 Yeah.

01:39:17.000 Well, yeah, so I'm just not going back, which is fine, whatever.

01:39:21.000 All right.

01:39:21.000 We got Greg Bohan.

01:39:23.000 I'm probably pronouncing that wrong.

01:39:24.000 He says, you want to talk about D.C.

01:39:25.000 and social justice infestation?

01:39:27.000 You should get a hold of Ethan Van Sciver of Comic Artist Pro Secrets on YouTube.

01:39:32.000 His peers run him out of D.C.

01:39:33.000 comics and canceled him because he was a out Republican.

01:39:37.000 Interesting. 0.97

01:39:38.000 A gay Republican.

01:39:41.000 Matt M. says, Ryan Stokes to see your show next week in Orlando. 0.96

01:39:41.000 Apparently. 0.96

01:39:45.000 Oh yeah!

01:39:46.000 I'm doing Orlando and Tampa next month.

01:39:49.000 And again, buy tickets because ryanlongcomedy.com for tickets because all of the shows have been selling out and they've been super fun.

01:39:54.000 It's been cool to see everyone come out.

01:39:55.000 Look at this guy, all famous.

01:39:56.000 It's been cool, dude, to have everyone come out because I haven't toured America since I moved here and then we're like, I think there's enough places open.

01:40:04.000 So we started doing it and it's been, I was like, oh man, this is way better.

01:40:08.000 So with your comedy, you're basically hosting like mini clan rallies.

01:40:10.000 Is that what it is?

01:40:11.000 Oh, wow.

01:40:12.000 Okay.

01:40:13.000 Wow, mini Tim?

01:40:15.000 I'm not offended by the Klan rally part.

01:40:17.000 I'm offended by that you think my shows don't have a lot of people at them.

01:40:19.000 All right, all right, we gotta... No, that's the funny part that, even just touring, one thing I'll say that's kind of funny is that anyone that kind of, you know, that people get mad at online, they think that, and you go to the shows and it's like, people of all races, like, you know, some frat dudes, a group of girls, it's just everyone, right?

01:40:37.000 And the funniest part that I feel like people get wrong about everything Is whenever you're talking about like race and stuff, I mean, other people have said this, but going back on the road made me realize it so much.

01:40:48.000 People can't wait for you to talk about their group.

01:40:50.000 Like if I'm doing, there was like a table of like Hasidic Jewish dudes when we were at the other table and I started doing Jew stuff.

01:40:55.000 They're like, they're dying.

01:40:56.000 They're like, do us.

01:40:57.000 And then there was like this Indian dudes and they're kind of like, do us. 1.00

01:41:00.000 That's amazing.

01:41:01.000 Yeah, like, especially people that do all race stuff, like Russell Peters.

01:41:03.000 Like, the people go for, like, if you're doing Japanese, the, like, Koreans are, like, they love you, like, nailing their thing.

01:41:10.000 Did you see the Dr. Seuss thing that happened?

01:41:11.000 They, like, canceled Dr. Seuss books?

01:41:12.000 Yeah, I started that.

01:41:14.000 Oh, good to know.

01:41:15.000 Yeah, I started the hashtag.

01:41:16.000 Alright, so.

01:41:17.000 So one of the things that got cancelled was it said the China man who eats with stick eats with sticks or whatever and it's just a cartoon guy wearing traditional Chinese clothing and he's running and he's got a bowl of rice and they banned the book they stopped publishing the book because of that and I'm like Yeah.

01:41:33.000 Was that offensive I don't understand it's literally just someone who drew a picture of a Chinese guy eating rice

01:41:33.000 Yeah.

01:41:37.000 Yeah, I'm offended. I guess China man was offensive. Oh, no, I guess I'll say China person. Yeah, China person. Yeah. No, 1.00

01:41:43.000 okay Look, I I don't know

01:41:46.000 I Guess I'm not allowed to be offended by anything ever

01:41:49.000 because I'm not completely Asian and not completely white So the left just tells me to shut up and like get into the

01:41:53.000 corner. You're like that Comer that new TV show that the clip went viral for which

01:41:58.000 one was it didn't see that. No. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yes Yes, yes the Netflix show where she's like you're closer to

01:42:04.000 white than I'll ever be so but what I'm I'm not offended at all by these things, but based on what you were saying... The same way if you go to a show and you play an instrument, like you play guitar, and they're making fun of the drummers, you're kind of like, okay, do guitars.

01:42:16.000 People want you to do their thing.

01:42:18.000 I want to be involved, make fun of me, you know what I mean? 0.97

01:42:20.000 And especially if you know what you're talking about, like you go, somebody goes, that's friggin' my mom! 0.83

01:42:24.000 People like it, you know what I mean? 0.89

01:42:28.000 All right.

01:42:30.000 I'm not reading this one comment, but basically a woman says you get her very excited, to put it simply.

01:42:36.000 Tickets, Ryan Long Comedy!

01:42:41.000 The Cucumber Show says, Hey Tim, I emailed TimCast recently about my animated series, spoofing the Apple Store called Cucumber.

01:42:47.000 Coming to Kickstarter April 1st.

01:42:49.000 CucumberHasRisen.com has story info and the trailer, as does our YouTube channel.

01:42:53.000 Thanks.

01:42:54.000 Hello, Lydia and Ian.

01:42:55.000 That's cute.

01:42:55.000 Hello.

01:42:56.000 Yeah, it's the Green Lantern's porn is called Cucumber. 0.89

01:43:00.000 Beau just says that Static Shock reboot sounds like Bible Man level writing.

01:43:05.000 Mainstream entertainment has basically devolved into early 2000s Christian media quality.

01:43:09.000 That's what Tim was saying!

01:43:10.000 That's what I'm saying, man!

01:43:12.000 You've been saying it's like a religion.

01:43:13.000 I mean, just another example.

01:43:15.000 Listen, ladies and gentlemen, should I tell people what's going on with our pillow?

01:43:20.000 Maybe.

01:43:21.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:43:22.000 So I've talked a bit about it.

01:43:24.000 And so Ryan is going to be helping me.

01:43:27.000 Yeah, I said, I'll take your project to the top, kid.

01:43:31.000 And then, you know, basically what happened was I was leaving.

01:43:34.000 I was hanging out in the stands at a venue as Ryan was leaving.

01:43:37.000 And he saw me and he went, hey, kid.

01:43:39.000 And he threw a burlap sack to me and I caught it.

01:43:42.000 And then, you know, and then I got the idea.

01:43:43.000 No, so that's a good ad.

01:43:45.000 Ryan's going to be The idea for the Our Pillow, and this is basically what you said, was it's the most brutal pillow ever, but it has the right ideology, so you have to buy it.

01:43:55.000 That's basically what they're saying about Static Shock and this woke media.

01:44:00.000 The content is garbage, but it's the right ideology, so you have to watch it. 0.82

01:44:04.000 It's Claptor. 0.99

01:44:04.000 Yes, exactly. 0.99

01:44:06.000 You ever see Claptor?

01:44:08.000 No, but I have at my show The Claptor.

01:44:11.000 So come... The Claptor?

01:44:13.000 The Claptor.

01:44:15.000 Yes, I got it.

01:44:17.000 Guys, it's getting late.

01:44:19.000 Yes.

01:44:20.000 Speaking of getting late.

01:44:24.000 We're doing our pillow and this is the first time Ryan's actually got too late on it.

01:44:28.000 How would you rate our pillow on a scale of 1 to 10?

01:44:31.000 Are you showing it right now?

01:44:32.000 Oh no, you don't want to unveil it.

01:44:33.000 You can go grab it if you want.

01:44:33.000 Do you want to unveil it?

01:44:35.000 We've already shown it before.

01:44:36.000 Oh, whatever.

01:44:39.000 So you've got the new pillow.

01:44:41.000 How would you rate it on a scale of one to 10?

01:44:43.000 I liked it.

01:44:44.000 I mean, for me, it wouldn't be for me, but like my girl, I obviously give, I have a separate blanket and then she's in a burlap sack. 0.99

01:44:50.000 So that could be a good, that makes sense.

01:44:51.000 Yeah, that could be a good addition.

01:44:53.000 On the edge of the bed or the floor?

01:44:55.000 She would be on the floor.

01:44:56.000 Yeah.

01:44:57.000 Right outside the door kind of thing.

01:45:00.000 Well, that's why I keep her water and food and stuff like that. 1.00

01:45:04.000 Where else am I... What?

01:45:05.000 She's gonna be not... What if she gets thirsty? 0.98

01:45:09.000 Don't you think it's a little wasteful to give the glorious communist pillow to somebody? 0.77

01:45:13.000 That's a little high class.

01:45:15.000 Yeah, it's gotta be for you, huh?

01:45:17.000 It's too expensive.

01:45:17.000 It's gonna be for me, you're right.

01:45:18.000 So, they're gonna be performatively expensive.

01:45:20.000 You're right, she should not get a pillow.

01:45:22.000 That's true, yeah, there you go.

01:45:23.000 Why would you waste it?

01:45:24.000 No, what she'll do is, girls should all sleep in a woman's Hillary Clinton suit jacket with the hanger still in it, hanged up on the rack. 1.00

01:45:33.000 That sounds comfortable.

01:45:33.000 With them in it, yeah.

01:45:34.000 I could do that.

01:45:35.000 I could do that.

01:45:35.000 Do you write this stuff down just to use for, like, later sketches?

01:45:39.000 You think I should have a sketch?

01:45:41.000 That's the sketch, like, how every woman sleeps. 0.96

01:45:45.000 I mean, I don't mean that one specifically, but, you know.

01:45:47.000 All right, let's read some more of these things.

01:45:49.000 We'll read more.

01:45:50.000 Mitch Stew says, Tim, I am going to resend you my resume and post it in your subreddit within 24 hours to show my interest in joining your team.

01:45:56.000 I share your vision and would love to simply share my ideas.

01:45:59.000 Also, I love you, Ryan.

01:46:00.000 You are the future of comedy.

01:46:02.000 Thank you very much.

01:46:03.000 I have a video called The Future of Comedy, so I'm wondering if that's a reference.

01:46:07.000 She's kind of out of the news right now.

01:46:09.000 That's a reference.

01:46:11.000 Pando56 says, Ryan need a sketch about Jessica Yaniv where she runs out of

01:46:17.000 money and needs to start suing.

01:46:18.000 She targets. 0.96

01:46:19.000 She's kind of out of the news right now.

01:46:22.000 I feel like her moment's kind of done.

01:46:23.000 Yeah.

01:46:24.000 Tim Dillon did a really funny one about the, the salons and stuff.

01:46:29.000 No, the new the health minister.

01:46:31.000 Oh, right, right, right, right.

01:46:35.000 So this is not the, you know, the craziest thing, but so I have a studio in Toronto, which I still have, but I'm getting rid of it soon.

01:46:44.000 Oh, Uncle Pennybags here.

01:46:47.000 I've got a pretty leaky operation going on here.

01:46:54.000 I've got a burlap sink holding my money right now.

01:46:57.000 There is leakage.

01:46:58.000 I do not need a studio in Toronto that I can't go to, but I'm subletting some of these things out.

01:47:04.000 So me and Dani were reading about the Jessica Yaniv thing or whatever, and while we were talking about the story in our office that Dani's the guy I do the sketches with, we were like, this is crazy or whatever.

01:47:13.000 And then at the same time, we're like, it's crazy that there's all this news stuff happening outside of our office, blah, blah.

01:47:18.000 And at the same time, and we never realized it, but while we were reading the story, it was happening because it's across the street from my office, the spa where she went to try to get the ball waxing.

01:47:29.000 Wow.

01:47:30.000 It was across the street from my office. 0.98

01:47:31.000 So every day for three days, there was, you know, Canadian TMZ there being like, what were the balls like? 0.81

01:47:37.000 I don't know. 0.54

01:47:38.000 But just trying to get the scoop.

01:47:41.000 So yeah, that's pretty crazy, right?

01:47:43.000 That's across the street from my office.

01:47:46.000 It's serendipitous.

01:47:47.000 You have to.

01:47:49.000 And more so, we were like, that is pretty nice to know that there's a ball wax in place in the area.

01:47:55.000 Silver lining.

01:47:56.000 United We Stand says, is it me or does Luke sound weird tonight?

01:47:59.000 His voice seems higher and really loud too.

01:48:02.000 Really loud.

01:48:03.000 Wow.

01:48:07.000 All right, Coco Deuce has been in the military for 13 plus years.

01:48:10.000 Left ideology over the last decade has infected current leadership to massive degrees.

01:48:14.000 I can't remember a time when color, gender, and race didn't really matter.

01:48:18.000 Now it's the only thing that matters.

01:48:20.000 Secession may be the only option.

01:48:22.000 It's a scary prospect, man.

01:48:23.000 It's a very scary prospect.

01:48:24.000 Watching the TV show Secession is the only option.

01:48:27.000 Forgetting about all your problems and just watching Kieran Culkin do his art.

01:48:33.000 Alright, let's see.

01:48:34.000 Well, of course.

01:48:35.000 I've watched only a little bit of Attack on Titan.

01:48:37.000 I'm not, you know.

01:48:38.000 You like it?

01:48:38.000 at least two anime discussions and no attack on titan today well of course it's like i i've watched

01:48:45.000 only a little bit of attack on titan i'm not you know you like it you i like the the art yeah i

01:48:50.000 like i like attack on hill better Have you seen that meme?

01:48:53.000 No.

01:48:53.000 Do you know what Attack on Titan is?

01:48:55.000 It's an anime where there's, like, giant monsters that eat people, I guess.

01:48:55.000 No.

01:48:58.000 And so someone made a meme... I was having sex. 0.94

01:49:01.000 Oh, okay. 0.90

01:49:03.000 Somebody made a meme where the Titans are King of the Hill characters, and the heroes are, like, they have, like, these things on their waist that, like, shoot cords to, like, project, like, propel themselves.

01:49:15.000 And it's Hank Hill, and he's holding spatulas, and it says, Attack on Hill, and the titan is Bill D'Otriva.

01:49:21.000 It's really good.

01:49:22.000 He says, Tim, if I send you this gift, will you pronounce Jif like normal people do? 1.00

01:49:27.000 Three, Nazis only have those symbols because we let them. 0.92

01:49:30.000 That's true.

01:49:31.000 The creator of the Jif said it was pronounced Jif, so I don't know.

01:49:35.000 I've had this conversation before.

01:49:36.000 I'd be down to bring it back.

01:49:37.000 Is it Gif or Jif?

01:49:37.000 So many times.

01:49:39.000 Fight it out.

01:49:40.000 Biff, I believe it was.

01:49:41.000 The G is pronounced B. That makes more sense.

01:49:45.000 But it is though.

01:49:46.000 I mean, that argument, let's say that you're right, that the creator said that.

01:49:51.000 Things do kind of change.

01:49:53.000 It's the, and the new one that everyone says, it's the guy that says potahto and you go, and you go, it's actually originally pronounced like that.

01:50:02.000 And you go, get the hell out of here.

01:50:03.000 Like, well, it's not anymore.

01:50:05.000 Yeah.

01:50:05.000 Eric Miller says, Ryan, you should do a follow-up to the Voting Wrong turned me white, where the guy sees the Woka Cola ad, drinks the Coke, and it fades to black, and you hear him say, I'm back, baby.

01:50:16.000 That's pretty funny.

01:50:17.000 That's great.

01:50:19.000 Do you see George Alexopoulos' comic he made about the Woka Cola thing?

01:50:22.000 Yeah.

01:50:23.000 Oh, wait.

01:50:23.000 No, I didn't.

01:50:24.000 Sorry.

01:50:25.000 I seen the Coca-Cola thing.

01:50:26.000 So George Autopolis, who does this, these paintings we have.

01:50:28.000 Okay.

01:50:29.000 G prime 85 on social media.

01:50:31.000 It's a white woman renouncing whiteness and being baptized in Coke. 0.63

01:50:35.000 And then she comes up and she's covered in Coke. 0.99

01:50:37.000 So her skin is like darker. 0.93

01:50:39.000 Yep.

01:50:40.000 Yep.

01:50:42.000 Yeah.

01:50:43.000 Dylan, Dylan Basterash says, how dare you sully the name of Bible man?

01:50:48.000 How did he get his powers from the Bible?

01:50:50.000 I don't know. 0.94

01:50:52.000 Lanius Shrike says, if you think religious kids shows suck, you've probably never seen Five-ish. 0.61

01:50:57.000 What is that? 0.97

01:50:57.000 I've not heard of that. 0.97

01:50:59.000 Must be.

01:50:59.000 Is that good?

01:51:00.000 No, I've never seen that.

01:51:01.000 I've seen 69-ish.

01:51:02.000 Guys.

01:51:02.000 Oh, this guy.

01:51:04.000 That's way too late.

01:51:05.000 That's for the private.

01:51:06.000 Spicy, spicy.

01:51:08.000 Is there any good... I think they've made some good Christ ones.

01:51:12.000 Passion of the Christ is a pretty good movie.

01:51:14.000 You can make movies with a point without slamming it with propaganda.

01:51:18.000 It's just, you need to be...

01:51:20.000 You need to care more about making the good things first, and then your ideology is going to be in there anyway, because you have it.

01:51:27.000 All right, let's see.

01:51:29.000 Recto says, did you guys buy the dip in crypto?

01:51:32.000 Five-digit BTC, what a gift.

01:51:34.000 Ian said 50 words on this episode, silenced by Big Tim.

01:51:38.000 LMAO, what if Ian just randomly screamed in the mic in the middle of an episode, and then two hours of death glare?

01:51:43.000 Okay.

01:51:45.000 I'll do that.

01:51:46.000 I mean, me and Tim are both pretty talky.

01:51:48.000 I did not buy the dip on crypto.

01:51:53.000 However, I have some crypto proxies and my boy, Danny Polischuk, who has a podcast that he talks about this stuff.

01:51:59.000 He's been buying and selling crypto trading cards, which is hilarious to me.

01:52:04.000 So it's essentially crypto cards.

01:52:07.000 But they don't exist, except for on the blockchain, there's no physical copy.

01:52:11.000 He's into all sorts of that stuff.

01:52:13.000 Yeah, the NFT stuff, the non-fungible tokens.

01:52:15.000 Alex Grindelin says, Tim, when you lived in Fremont, did you ever go to the improv comedy club there, club there, comedy sports?

01:52:21.000 Maybe when you lived in Seattle, it was over in Ballard.

01:52:23.000 I did not.

01:52:24.000 I did go to a record store every so often and talk to some of the people there.

01:52:27.000 That was a long time ago, so I'm not like, it's like 14 years ago, so I don't know where it was.

01:52:34.000 The Miami Improv, did they say?

01:52:36.000 No, it was like over on the West Coast.

01:52:38.000 Fremont?

01:52:39.000 Chicago?

01:52:41.000 Seattle.

01:52:42.000 Oh.

01:52:43.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:52:45.000 Let's see.

01:52:46.000 Tripsuck says they've ruined my favorite superhero.

01:52:49.000 Ryan, never change.

01:52:50.000 Tim, many liberals just like me watch this show.

01:52:53.000 Your listeners are not only on the right.

01:52:55.000 Oh, that I know.

01:52:56.000 I suppose we did a poll and found I think the biggest group of people who watched my regular YouTube content was libertarian.

01:53:06.000 And then it was like moderate conservative, followed by liberal.

01:53:11.000 And then it was followed by... I can't remember.

01:53:13.000 We talked about it quite a bit.

01:53:13.000 But there actually were social justice warrior, like far leftists, like two or three percent of the people polled said they watch my show.

01:53:19.000 Yeah.

01:53:19.000 And that's where they were.

01:53:21.000 And that's why, like I mentioned this sometimes, I went to Portland and actually had some Antifa people like fist bump me and say, don't let anybody know.

01:53:29.000 The world's way more unified than it seems.

01:53:31.000 Uh oh.

01:53:35.000 It jumped.

01:53:36.000 It jumped.

01:53:37.000 I said uh-oh because someone said Bobby Bob says Tim's parking lot will never be the same without its hobo.

01:53:43.000 It's true!

01:53:44.000 I'm sad every time I see it.

01:53:46.000 Uncle Eddie.

01:53:47.000 It's cousin Eddie, yeah.

01:53:48.000 So yeah, Luke's on vacation.

01:53:50.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:53:51.000 Um, it may be permanent because that dude's basically a vagabond.

01:53:54.000 That's the right word, right?

01:53:55.000 Yeah.

01:53:56.000 Yeah, like he just travels around.

01:53:57.000 Traipses around, yeah.

01:53:58.000 He lives where he goes.

01:53:59.000 He goes where he lives.

01:54:01.000 Except he's got like a big truck and a mobile and like an RV, so it's actually pretty nice.

01:54:06.000 Oh yeah, it's fancy traveling.

01:54:08.000 Yeah, dude, it's awesome.

01:54:09.000 It's like a champagne socialist traveling.

01:54:12.000 Pretty much, yeah.

01:54:13.000 Clamping.

01:54:14.000 Champagne vagabonding.

01:54:15.000 Yes, perfect.

01:54:18.000 What's the book?

01:54:19.000 Yeah, he's got Jack Kerouac, but it's, you know, the fancy hard copy.

01:54:23.000 All right, Mara's Exalted says, Hey, crew, been watching every night after work.

01:54:27.000 Big fan of the show.

01:54:29.000 Lids is an underrated source of info.

01:54:31.000 I'm a Canadian music artist and would love to help out any music endeavors.

01:54:34.000 Also have a song called Smollett that rap fans may enjoy.

01:54:37.000 Interesting.

01:54:39.000 You know, I have a million and one songs.

01:54:41.000 If I was to actually write down every song I've ever written, it's probably a viable completed song, several hundred.

01:54:47.000 There's probably thousands of some type of song with, like, melodic, but not, like, written out.

01:54:52.000 But we are working on a new one, which will probably never get done because all the songs we were originally working on, because we did Will of the People, well, we just bounce around too much.

01:55:01.000 I think we'll get this one done, though.

01:55:02.000 Punk rock for Biden.

01:55:04.000 Yes, yep.

01:55:06.000 We want it to be, it's double punk because normally punk is supposed to be like anti-establishment, right?

01:55:13.000 And so we're anti the anti-establishment.

01:55:16.000 So it's like inadvertently pro-Biden because we don't want to conform to the non-conformists who don't want to conform to Biden.

01:55:21.000 So it's unironically pro-Biden actually as a statement against That's what they call sub-punk.

01:55:28.000 Sub-punk?

01:55:29.000 Yeah, aren't you a drummer?

01:55:30.000 Yeah.

01:55:30.000 Yeah, we should jam next time you're in town.

01:55:32.000 We just got a kit.

01:55:32.000 I think it's on the way right now.

01:55:33.000 It's half here.

01:55:34.000 Nice.

01:55:35.000 It's gonna be loud.

01:55:36.000 Wait, you play drums?

01:55:38.000 Yeah.

01:55:38.000 Really?

01:55:39.000 Yeah, he did last time.

01:55:40.000 And James O'Keefe, what does he play?

01:55:43.000 He sings.

01:55:44.000 He sings.

01:55:45.000 And Jack Posobiec plays bass.

01:55:47.000 And we'll get Ryan Long on drums.

01:55:48.000 I think we talked about that.

01:55:49.000 I did Jack's thing and he was telling me that.

01:55:52.000 And we'll make a super group and we'll call it The Far Right.

01:55:54.000 Perfect.

01:55:55.000 I identify politically as a comedian.

01:55:58.000 That's right.

01:55:59.000 Thank you very much.

01:56:00.000 Ryan, Ryan Long.

01:56:01.000 Keep your labels off of me.

01:56:03.000 That's what I say to girls. 1.00

01:56:04.000 And that's what I say to you politics people.

01:56:06.000 There you go.

01:56:07.000 Fair.

01:56:07.000 All right, let's see.

01:56:11.000 George D says, Tim with Australia, you have to separate what's going on in Melbourne under dictator Dan and the rest of Australia apart from Melbourne.

01:56:18.000 We are living life back to normal.

01:56:19.000 No curfew, no masks and everything.

01:56:21.000 Oh, is that what I said?

01:56:22.000 Okay.

01:56:23.000 But you have to understand too, when they say outside of Melbourne, everybody knows that you have Melbourne and then you have the outback.

01:56:29.000 That's all Australia is.

01:56:31.000 So it's, you live in a city or you ride kangaroo.

01:56:34.000 Yep.

01:56:34.000 That's all.

01:56:35.000 That's how it works.

01:56:36.000 There was a, I'm kidding by the way, but there was a really funny podcast, I guess, Rose Byrne, who is an, she's an Australian actress.

01:56:42.000 And it was really funny because, so we had Sydney Watson on the show.

01:56:45.000 Do you know who Sydney Watson is?

01:56:47.000 No.

01:56:47.000 She's Australian.

01:56:49.000 And we did like a whole bonus segment where we just asked her about kangaroo And she was answering it, but then the segment Rose Byrne did on this other podcast, she was like, I grew up in a city.

01:56:59.000 I have no idea what it's like in the middle of nowhere with these animals.

01:57:03.000 Stop asking me.

01:57:04.000 If you ask me, I will snap.

01:57:06.000 If you ask me about a kangaroo, and I saw that, I started laughing because we literally were like, Sydney, tell us about kangaroos.

01:57:12.000 Tell us about didgeridoo.

01:57:14.000 All right, fine.

01:57:15.000 I have three didgeridoos.

01:57:16.000 Could you imagine if an Australian person came and said, tell us about the bison?

01:57:20.000 You'd be like, I don't know, I drove past one one time, it was crazy, they have horns, and apparently you can get them to eat.

01:57:27.000 But if you tell me, like, you know, some of the Canadian stereotypes... You say aboot animals as much, but, you know, whatever, hockey, syrup...

01:57:38.000 Stereotypes are kind of true. 0.95

01:57:40.000 Fresh maple syrup?

01:57:41.000 Have you had fresh maple syrup from the tree?

01:57:44.000 Yeah.

01:57:45.000 And funnel cakes and all that stuff?

01:57:46.000 We have that here too.

01:57:48.000 Not like right out of the tree.

01:57:49.000 I guess we do.

01:57:50.000 I haven't had it right out of the tree.

01:57:51.000 That would be like a school trip would be a cliche thing like that where you go and snowshoe around with your class or something.

01:57:58.000 That's Canadian.

01:57:59.000 No, no, I did that in Illinois.

01:58:01.000 We went and there's maple trees everywhere.

01:58:03.000 Illinois is basically Canada.

01:58:05.000 Okay, I guess.

01:58:06.000 Illinois-ing.

01:58:07.000 I'm from Illinois.

01:58:09.000 The Great Lakes separated us.

01:58:11.000 Yeah, I guess when the country peacefully divorces, Illinois and New York are gonna join the United States of Canada, and then everyone else becomes... United States of Canada.

01:58:18.000 That's the meme, you know, Jesusland.

01:58:20.000 Yeah.

01:58:22.000 All right, let's see.

01:58:22.000 Eric Wright says, curious about everyone's favorite animal and a brief explanation, including Lydia, keep up the great work team.

01:58:28.000 Ryan, favorite animal?

01:58:29.000 Woman, I'd say, is mine.

01:58:30.000 Really?

01:58:31.000 Interesting.

01:58:31.000 That's a very intelligent answer.

01:58:32.000 Favorite animal.

01:58:33.000 That's very edgy.

01:58:33.000 That's one of those things.

01:58:34.000 What if you said human and you were just done with it?

01:58:36.000 Yeah.

01:58:37.000 Okay, you go first.

01:58:38.000 You come back.

01:58:39.000 Well, I would say the gorilla.

01:58:41.000 And if you haven't had a chance, check out this gorilla.

01:58:46.000 There it is.

01:58:46.000 Ian's favorite animal.

01:58:48.000 You can pick this t-shirt up on, I think on TimCast.com, shop slash shop.

01:58:52.000 Not slash shop.

01:58:53.000 Just click the button and click shop.

01:58:54.000 I'm a gorilla.

01:58:55.000 It's actually a monkey, but I mean, I don't really, sometimes I wonder about the difference.

01:58:58.000 The monkey's my favorite.

01:58:59.000 I just like the primates, you know, the intelligence in their eyes.

01:59:02.000 Yeah, pretty cool.

01:59:03.000 No, I guess I don't really have one, but if I had to pick, I'd say crows.

01:59:09.000 Crows are cool.

01:59:09.000 They're super smart.

01:59:10.000 Are you serious?

01:59:10.000 They're in the top 10 smartest animal on the planet.

01:59:12.000 Crows and rats.

01:59:13.000 You can speak English to them.

01:59:15.000 You can teach them things.

01:59:17.000 Yeah, it's crazy.

01:59:19.000 And you ever hear the story about the little girl?

01:59:21.000 No, no, no, better story.

01:59:22.000 There was a woman who used to go hiking and taking photos, and she would leave food for the crows.

01:59:28.000 One day, she dropped her camera lens cap, And when she came home, it was laying on her stairs.

01:59:34.000 Oh my god.

01:59:35.000 They brought it back for her?

01:59:36.000 The crow saw she dropped it, picked it up and brought it to her house and left it for her.

01:59:38.000 So great.

01:59:39.000 They were doing research.

01:59:40.000 I don't know if you heard about on the set of The Crow, um... Yeah, I... Brandon Lee, man.

01:59:45.000 Tragic story.

01:59:46.000 Okay.

01:59:46.000 We'll leave it there.

01:59:47.000 No, no, no.

01:59:47.000 Hold on.

01:59:48.000 There was another thing that dropped.

01:59:49.000 There was a, geez, dude.

01:59:52.000 No, I was just saying one of the grips was a rapper.

01:59:55.000 So he dropped like super fast.

01:59:56.000 That's right.

01:59:57.000 It honestly had nothing to do with what you were talking about.

01:59:59.000 There were some researchers, I think they were at Syracuse and they would capture crows to use in research.

02:00:04.000 And they learned that if you have, if you engage in this, you have to wear a mask because the crows would never forget that you were the one who captured them and subjected them to experiments and life.

02:00:15.000 So they would, and they would tell their friends and they would like poop on people and like harass them.

02:00:19.000 No joke.

02:00:20.000 Crows are legit smart.

02:00:22.000 There was a guy who invented a crow vending machine.

02:00:24.000 Brilliant.

02:00:25.000 He basically set up this machine where there was a plate, like an attachment full of covered in food.

02:00:31.000 You put money in and get a crow.

02:00:32.000 Well, the crow would land on it.

02:00:34.000 They would eat the food and then crows sweep the ground when there's no food left.

02:00:38.000 And they knocked the coins into the machine, which made more nuts come out.

02:00:41.000 Yeah.

02:00:42.000 Then he put coins on the ground.

02:00:43.000 And so when the coins were gone, the crows would jump down, grab the coins, fly up, and put them in the machine and get nuts.

02:00:48.000 Once that was gone, they would fly around the neighborhood looking for loose change.

02:00:51.000 Wow.

02:00:52.000 Bring them back.

02:00:53.000 And he said his total profit was going to be somewhere in like 86 cents.

02:00:58.000 Oh my god.

02:00:59.000 Wow.

02:01:00.000 But he effectively trained the crows to pick up- To find money for him.

02:01:03.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:01:04.000 That's amazing stuff.

02:01:04.000 That's cool.

02:01:05.000 It's better than not buying a metal detector.

02:01:07.000 That's awesome.

02:01:08.000 I love it.

02:01:08.000 It is.

02:01:10.000 So Ryan, what's your favorite animal?

02:01:11.000 Okay, my favorite animal is sloth.

02:01:18.000 Those are cool.

02:01:18.000 How about a sloth?

02:01:20.000 I did a report on those in high school.

02:01:22.000 Sloths?

02:01:22.000 Yeah, you did.

02:01:23.000 Their defense mechanism is basically just not moving.

02:01:26.000 And I like that they're kind of the bad boy because everyone trashes them.

02:01:29.000 What do you mean?

02:01:30.000 Everybody loves them. 0.52

02:01:31.000 No, it's like lazy sloths.

02:01:33.000 It's a sin.

02:01:34.000 Two-toed or three-toed?

02:01:36.000 Or is it three-toed or four-toed?

02:01:38.000 How about three?

02:01:41.000 We've got a bunch of important information.

02:01:47.000 56th Crusader says Bible Man got his powers from his obedience to God. 0.61

02:01:51.000 They gave him a Robin-esque sidekick in the second or third episode.

02:01:54.000 Not as good as Angel Wars, in my opinion.

02:01:56.000 Interesting.

02:01:57.000 And Carnacle Blackburn says Bible Man's lightsaber is powered by faith. 0.91

02:02:02.000 I loved him and VeggieTales growing up.

02:02:05.000 Also 3, 2, 1 penguins.

02:02:07.000 Kevin is goat. 0.75

02:02:08.000 Bibleman is so bad. 0.98

02:02:09.000 It's good.

02:02:09.000 I want to watch Bibleman.

02:02:10.000 I liked VeggieTales.

02:02:11.000 I want to watch it.

02:02:12.000 Yeah.

02:02:12.000 Let me check it out.

02:02:13.000 Yeah, definitely watch Bibleman.

02:02:14.000 It's going to be like, I bet you could take Bibleman and the new Black Lives Matter static shock and be like, I see similarities in how it's like all about ideology. 1.00

02:02:22.000 He's like, the police were tear gassing me because I was doing the right thing.

02:02:25.000 Now I have power.

02:02:25.000 That'd be cool if he lost his power.

02:02:27.000 If he stopped believing in the right, you know, doing the right thing.

02:02:30.000 I mean, that's probably going to happen.

02:02:32.000 Someone's going to be like... You know what I think is really happening, to be honest?

02:02:35.000 There's probably a bunch of young, woke people, and there's, like, checked-out Gen Xers who are sitting there with their eyes half-closed, and then the person's like, I got an idea!

02:02:42.000 He's a Black Lives Matter protest.

02:02:44.000 He gets his powers.

02:02:46.000 And the boss is just like, oh, yeah, you know, whatever.

02:02:49.000 We're going to sell so many copies.

02:02:50.000 The trick that they're like a lot of these things are missing.

02:02:53.000 And I watched, cause I see movies that do this kind of stuff and they're fine.

02:02:57.000 And you ever watch a conversation and they, like, you're kind of, you have an argument

02:03:01.000 and they're not addressing like the other side.

02:03:04.000 You're like, no, that's not what they think.

02:03:05.000 You know, where it's the same thing when this, where they treat other people like not humans.

02:03:10.000 Like I watched, there was this one where the camera was called, but they had a,

02:03:13.000 it was like a black dude who got out of jail and the cops were kind of the enemies and they'd

02:03:17.000 killed a guy, but then they also showed the cop what he looks like as a human.

02:03:22.000 So he went back and basically he felt, he like, you know, felt like, and he didn't know what to 0.94

02:03:27.000 do and he kind of was going through and his wife was leaving him and this guy's life sucked.

02:03:30.000 And then they showed the third person, which was the friend that his girlfriend, they kind of. 0.61

02:03:34.000 that.

02:03:35.000 Humanize everybody? 0.96

02:03:36.000 Yes.

02:03:36.000 I was very like, um, and I think that in comedy so many times they write other

02:03:40.000 people right now, like they hate them and you can't write people like you hate them.

02:03:46.000 So that's why people's Trump's impressions were so bad because it's 1.00

02:03:49.000 just, I'm a frigging idiot. 1.00

02:03:50.000 And it's like, yeah, like family guys, Trump episode. 1.00

02:03:54.000 It was like, yeah, I'm a fricking idiot. 1.00

02:03:55.000 It was just, they made him tiny hands with a bright orange face and it was like, dude, on the nose. 0.99

02:04:01.000 Just a little, much of a character, but that's not really, you know, there's funny parts about everyone, but you need to like contain the humanity.

02:04:10.000 And I think it's when you're providing the opposite side, same as providing the opposite perspective.

02:04:14.000 It's like, even in most superheroes, it's like they're villains, not just all bad.

02:04:19.000 Like something got them there and you sort of see their side.

02:04:21.000 That's how I feel about Hitler. 0.81

02:04:22.000 I can tell you more about it in the bonus segment.

02:04:23.000 Whoa! 0.71

02:04:24.000 Listen, listen, listen.

02:04:24.000 Don't get into your theories!

02:04:26.000 Put it behind the camera.

02:04:26.000 Hold on, hold on.

02:04:27.000 You, you, so... Understand the villain.

02:04:29.000 All right.

02:04:29.000 With, with these stories, I think about a lot when we're, when I'm like writing music, you can't just tell the audience what's happening.

02:04:37.000 You have to like, Allow their imagination to guide them to some capacity.

02:04:41.000 You can't write a song where you're just literally... So I wrote Will O' The People, and it's telling a story, but a lot of it you can't see unless you watch the video.

02:04:49.000 And so, you know, like I'm talking to Nish today because we're writing this song, and she was like, there's a lot of information to convey in this that we can't get in lyrics.

02:04:56.000 And I was like, that's like kind of the point.

02:04:58.000 That's sort of the new school where it's people kind of...

02:05:01.000 If you look at Lonely Island, they were writing songs knowing that the video was going to be part of the gags.

02:05:07.000 And I think that a lot of people are doing that musically right now, where they're sort of picturing the video to convey something else while they're writing it.

02:05:12.000 The song will be good, but with the video you really understand it.

02:05:15.000 That's true for Will of the People.

02:05:16.000 You don't want them to be like, that guy, that villain is so evil.

02:05:19.000 You just want the audience to see the villain's behavior and think, Wow, that's very, you want the audience to think it, to realize it on their own.

02:05:26.000 I mean, you know, it's just like multi-tiered.

02:05:28.000 But hold on, you know what's crazy to me?

02:05:31.000 I guess this is a relatively new thing in comics.

02:05:35.000 I shouldn't say relatively new, it's been some time, but like, uh, the origin of Mr. Freeze in the Batman animated series, do you guys know this?

02:05:41.000 No.

02:05:41.000 They won an Emmy.

02:05:42.000 I think it was the first cartoon to ever win an Emmy.

02:05:44.000 I think it was an Emmy, I'm not sure.

02:05:46.000 But, uh, Mr. Freeze, originally comic book villains were like one-dimensional.

02:05:50.000 I'm gonna take over the world, because I'm evil!

02:05:52.000 Mr. Freeze was, his wife was terminally ill, and he was misappropriating corporate funds to do research to try and cure her disease, and when the boss found out, he was like, how dare you, shut it down, and then while they were fighting, he was like, no, I won't let you kill my wife, and he grabs a gun, and then the security guy throws him down, and then the cryogenic chemicals blast him, and then he gets turned into Mr. Freeze, And his whole motivation is he's trying to save his wife's life and it's all about his own personal selfishness.

02:06:20.000 So it was like, it was an interesting backstory for a villain.

02:06:22.000 Like Magneto also was kind of like, and Dr. Doom I think also.

02:06:26.000 But Magneto later on, I don't think, I think originally Magneto was really one dimensional.

02:06:30.000 And then it was later artists who really made this amazing, like X-Men's genius stuff.

02:06:36.000 And it's social justice stuff.

02:06:37.000 This is the crazy thing.

02:06:38.000 You know X-Men is social justice?

02:06:40.000 Magneto was in a Polish concentration camp in Poland.

02:06:44.000 And some of the artist comic book writings of X-Men is that Magneto is like Malcolm X and Professor X is like Dr. King.

02:06:52.000 Where Professor X is very much like, through peace and reform we will bring about unity.

02:06:56.000 Yeah, that's a trope in a million things.

02:06:59.000 It's the peace and reform versus the...

02:07:03.000 I mean, the Black Panther was kind of that. 0.58

02:07:04.000 Right.

02:07:05.000 So, it used to be the villains were just like, I'm evil, wah!

02:07:08.000 And then later on, they started developing villains to actually have legitimate motivations that we understood.

02:07:14.000 And then now, they are devolving where the protagonists are just one-dimensional.

02:07:18.000 No, no, but it's not even that.

02:07:19.000 The police in the static shock thing, it's like, get out of here or we're gonna tear gas you for no reason!

02:07:25.000 Pew, pew! 0.98

02:07:25.000 Like, wait, what? 0.98

02:07:27.000 Come on! 0.61

02:07:27.000 Like, what's that show, Homeland? 0.61

02:07:29.000 Homelander, is that what it's called?

02:07:30.000 The Boys.

02:07:31.000 The Boys.

02:07:32.000 I think they took it too far, because those are, like, overtly villainous heroes.

02:07:36.000 That show was pretty good, though.

02:07:38.000 I like heroes that are corrupt or have a weakness or, like, you know, you need that.

02:07:42.000 Otherwise, it's not a real believable... Yeah, well, that one went into, like, the campy world a little bit.

02:07:46.000 Yeah, it got way out there.

02:07:48.000 But there is something cool about the flawed superhero that is a human, yeah.

02:07:54.000 All right, we're going to do one more Super Chat.

02:07:56.000 It is... What is this?

02:07:58.000 Goo Bazooka. 0.91

02:08:00.000 Pangolins are the coolest animals.

02:08:02.000 They're very cool.

02:08:03.000 That's right.

02:08:03.000 Oh, wait, wait.

02:08:04.000 I'm sorry.

02:08:04.000 There's one more.
