On this week's episode of Timestamps, we discuss the shocking news that a group of women began twerking on a police car in Miami, Florida, causing two cops to get pepper-balled. Plus, cancel culture is back in the news, and CNN is accused of staging or knowingly running a staged video of a migrant border crossing. And we're joined by comedian Chrissy Mayer to discuss it all.
00:00:55.000you riots but not Black Lives Matter, not Antifa.
00:01:00.000This time, the riots are taking place in Spring Break, Miami, where over 1,000 arrests have been made, and apparently the cops came out with pepper balls because, well, people are shutting down roads, they're refusing to disperse, and according to one headline, Several women began twerking on a police car.
00:01:22.000Now, I have to say, like, upon reading the headline, I really do make it sound like the cops got injured from the twerking.
00:01:28.000I'm not entirely sure that's what happened, so we'll have to go into the story.
00:01:32.000But there are tons of viral videos coming out now where women in Miami during spring break are just, like, blocking roads, just walking on the street.
00:01:40.000They all randomly just start twerking in the street.
00:01:51.000And cancel culture is in the news because apparently, well, look, for the longest time, the woke thought it wasn't racist to insult Asians.
00:01:59.000And now they've decided that's not true.
00:02:30.000I have a podcast called The Chrissy Mayer Podcast, which you can see on YouTube, iTunes, Spotify, SoundCloud, new episodes Tuesday through Friday.

00:04:06.000All right, let's get into this first story, because this is the greatest headline I've ever seen.
00:04:37.000They say, it was a wild Friday night in South Beach.
00:04:40.000There were even women who jumped on a police car to twerk.
00:04:43.000The city is swarming with spring breakers.
00:04:45.000Miami Beach officer Ernesto Rodriguez, a spokesman for the department, said two officers were injured while dealing with a very large crowd near 8th Street and Ocean Drive.
00:04:57.000While taking a subject into custody, officers were forced to utilize pepper balls to disperse members of the crowd who were disorderly and surrounding officers.
00:05:06.000Several subjects have been detained, two officers were injured, and have been transported to the hospital.
00:05:11.000More police officers are enforcing the rules in the area of Ocean Drive and Collins and Washington Avenues from 5th to 16th Street, including Española Way.
00:05:20.000All package liquor sales ceased after 8 p.m.
00:05:22.000So apparently now what's going on is there's like this crazy curfew.
00:05:25.000We got this story just from today from The Guardian.
00:05:27.000More than 1,000 arrests as Miami Beach pushes spring break curfew into April.
00:05:34.000Police condemned for use of pepper balls to break up crowds.
00:05:36.000Now apparently over a couple weeks, spring break curfew in place between Thursdays and Sundays.
00:05:41.000Now, I don't know if you guys have seen all these viral videos that have come out.
00:07:29.000So given the opportunity, they just break out in a twerk.
00:07:31.000It seems like it's supposed to be spring break from school.
00:07:34.000But a lot of those people, I mean, is school even open?
00:07:36.000Are people even doing online school now?
00:07:40.000And they're just showing up and twerking in the streets.
00:07:42.000It's like I was wondering, you'd think that New York would be the state that would be getting wrecked because they're the one that shut down.
00:07:48.000But all those people that are flooding to Florida and wrecking Florida.
00:07:50.000There's nothing to come to New York for.
00:07:52.000What are you going to flood New York City for?
00:08:43.000And I mean, like, left anarchist types.
00:08:45.000I don't like calling them anarchists because the people who get violent like Antifa, they're not really anarchists, but let me rephrase that.
00:08:50.000When Antifa goes out, they fight with cops.
00:08:52.000These people are just, like, robbing small businesses, not paying bills, shutting down traffic.
00:09:18.000The Guardian says police say they have arrested more than 1,000 people, about twice as many as last year, during this Spring Break season.
00:09:24.000They say the curfews are necessary to maintain order, according to the local CBS affiliate.
00:09:29.000City Manager Raul Aguila told the news station that he believes visitors have traveled to Miami Beach to engage in lawlessness and anything-goes party attitude.
00:09:38.000Aguila claimed many visitors are not patronizing local businesses or spending tourism dollars during their time in Florida.
00:09:44.000The Miami Herald reported that police have utilized pepper balls to disperse crowds several times this spring break season, describing the tactic as balls that are fired at the ground that emit tear gas, forcing people within a certain distance to move to avoid the eye irritant.
00:09:59.000The Miami Beach Police Chief Richard Clements told the paper that officers fired the projectiles because the crowd had begun to surge towards officers.
00:10:08.000Quote, I think officers felt threatened at the time.
00:10:11.000He said, adding that at least five officers have been injured during spring break this year.
00:10:16.000Video of large crowds and tear gassing by police in the city have circulated online.
00:10:20.000It's like, on a scale of one to three, of groups that engage in violent and dangerous riots, the most egregious, number one, is random people partying, followed by Antifa, followed by Trump supporters, just because those are the only groups that are actually engaging in this.
00:10:36.000I'm kidding, by the way, because Antifa, literally, and Black Lives Matter burned down an entire city.
00:10:41.000But these people are getting super drunk, and that's when stuff can go haywire, like the animal comes out.
00:10:47.000Yeah, there's definitely a Venn diagram of like people who would throw a chair like through a window.
00:10:52.000It's like Spring Breakers, like Antifa.
00:11:07.000Maybe they're so uptight, you know, they show up to this party, like, thinking they're gonna party, but then just everyone's having a good time, and then all of a sudden some dude throws a chair through a window, you know what I mean?
00:11:15.000And they've been so covered up for a year.
00:11:17.000They've been, like, their costumes, or whatever, they're not costumes, their get-ups, it's like they're all covered up, they're pale, they need to get out.
00:11:40.000I remember when the White Sox won the World Series, like however many years, like a decade ago, long time ago, longer than a decade ago.
00:11:46.000Man, this is probably like 13 years ago.
00:11:50.000They were crazy stories like my friends were telling me that a guy there's just tons of people in the street on the south side of Chicago and they're all just like screaming and drunk and like shaking cars and flipping them over and then he said like a guy was driving down Archer and then just like swerved dodged the crowd crashed into a pole and then jumped out and started cheering and then ran into the crowd like leaving his car there like people go crazy People get excited for their sports teams.
00:12:43.000You're like, OK, I don't want to eat too much because when I get into a fight, like I don't want to, you know, I don't want to throw it up.
00:13:45.000Now they're just in Miami and they're just twerking and stealing drinks.
00:13:49.000And when you have pent up energy, it's like guys, the guys that want to fight are going to go out looking for a fight and the girls that like want to fight, you know what I mean?
00:13:57.000You're going out kind of with that energy or you're like just going to hook up.
00:14:28.000And like going back to 2019, a lot of these cops I've read are afraid to basically do their jobs because they don't want to be accused of racist policing.
00:14:38.000Yeah, so when you get, like, people blocking intersections and twerking, and the cops get hurt, I bet there's a lot of people down there, they're probably not super political, but the Black Lives Matter narrative really does permeate everything.
00:14:51.000So we just went, we were at the mall the other day hanging out, and we went to Izumi's, and there was a poster on the wall that was just like, it was the weirdest thing for me to see in Izumi's.
00:15:01.000It was like a poster that said, I stand with Black Lives Matter, Breonna Taylor, free healthcare, increasing the minimum wage.
00:15:08.000And I'm like, I'm in a mall skate shop.
00:15:13.000Like, why is there a poster for Black Lives Matter, Breonna Taylor?
00:15:16.000But also, like, that I could get, I suppose.
00:15:18.000But like, the Democrat talking points were on that too.
00:15:23.000And I'm just like, it's kind of weird to see.
00:15:25.000I don't care, whatever, you can put up whatever poster you want, I don't care, I'm gonna buy shoes or something.
00:15:29.000But it's just like, when regular people who normally don't engage in this stuff are getting hit with this, I'm willing to bet there's anti-cop sentiment for sure in these Spring Break riots, where they're just like, F the police, you know what I mean?
00:15:42.000Why don't all of us go to Miami right now and start twerking in the street?
00:15:46.000I think that would help the narrative.
00:16:54.000They took like a rat city and they gave him an unlimited supply of food and water and whatever and they just like went nuts apparently started eating each other.
00:17:03.000Some just literally just dropped dead.
00:17:06.000So, like, they reproduced, and reproduced, and then eventually they reached, like, this massive population, but there was still just free food, nothing to worry about, and then they- the rats apparently started breaking down, going crazy, eating each other, and just dying.
00:17:43.000Yeah, if somebody else starts doing it, it's easier to chime in, I guess.
00:17:46.000And I think part of the reason is, I think people are afraid to go, like, you think about the normal spring break destinations, Cancun, maybe Ibiza.
00:17:56.000But maybe people are afraid to travel internationally now because of health stuff.
00:18:01.000So maybe that means everyone's just going to stay domestic and then go to Florida.
00:18:05.000Yes, which brings him to the we'll jump over the next story on this one because it's how crazy things have gotten with COVID.
00:18:11.000So when you when you see what's happening in Miami and this insanity, I'm not surprised that people are doing crazy stuff because people kind of lost their minds over the past year.
00:18:20.000I'm sure most people who are listening to this can probably relate in some way to how Awful, the lockdowns were.
00:20:54.000Indicated the £5,000 fine was designed to deter anyone thinking of going abroad for an Easter break in defiance of the ban on foreign travel.
00:21:03.000It will apply to both Britain's and European citizens living in the UK amid fears that anyone going abroad for a holiday or family reunion could import new COVID variants on their return.
00:21:13.000The only exemptions to the travel ban are for work, study, moving house, or attending a major family event such as a birth, wedding, or funeral.
00:21:20.000I mean, that's kind of a lot of exceptions, to be honest.
00:21:34.000They are part of the government's new regulations enacting Boris Johnson's roadmap out of lockdown and laid in parliament on Monday.
00:21:41.000They state that no one may leave England to travel to a destination outside the United Kingdom, or travel to, or be present at an embarkation point for the purpose of traveling from there to a destination outside the United Kingdom without a reasonable excuse.
00:21:58.000So like, I guess you could literally be in the airport, and they could stop you and be like, why are you traveling?
00:23:01.000Yeah, man, that's living in high density, you know what I mean?
00:23:05.000So if you look at the weird thing about all of this You look at Europe and it's like basically the size of the u.s But with 600 million people instead of 330 million people and then you hear about places like Greece if you've ever been to France Really really dense in the big cities, but it's just in the cities.
00:23:20.000So why is it affecting like everybody?
00:23:22.000Why is like Everybody in Britain's trapped, you can't leave.
00:23:27.000I wonder too, it's like, can you go to Northern Ireland?
00:23:30.000And then if you go to Northern Ireland, can you drive into Ireland?
00:23:33.000And then once you're in Ireland, are you good?
00:23:35.000This has been one of the weirdest things about the UK.
00:23:36.000I'm sure people in the UK and in Europe probably understand better.
00:23:40.000But, you know, Northern Ireland is part of the UK.
00:25:19.000They're like, hey, there's a pandemic, so we got to restrict travel.
00:25:21.000It's like it's like the gameplay game, you know, and the virus happens like Iceland shuts down and then you're like, oh, we get in Iceland and you can't win the game then.
00:27:17.000And then she's like, oh no, you're a Finger Men.
00:27:19.000I didn't No, and then V shows up and he does that speech where every word's up to the letter V. That movie's great, by the way.
00:27:25.000I'm just wondering at what point any of these people, they're gonna lose their minds and do something to counter what the government's doing because, I mean, there was a period where there was a large group of British subjects who got really angry and then wrote this big thing to the king like, yo, FBO, we're not British subjects no more.
00:27:43.000And we've been doing all right over here for some time.
00:27:46.000Them over there, they're not going so well.
00:28:40.000I mean, they actually overthrew their corrupt banking and then Seized control of their government and created a new more democratic situation.
00:28:48.000I don't know about that though I think what people need to realize about these countries any one of these countries particularly Europe is Monoculture creates social enforcement for anything they want if you've got a tribalistic dogmatic monoculture then one person can act as a despot because everyone just says okay to whatever the machine is like you see it with cancel culture and You know, you get someone who's prominent enough to ignite or like light, you know, plant that seed of some new idea.
00:29:16.000And if they're prominent enough, people will just latch onto it and then it works.
00:29:19.000And that social enforcement causes problems for everybody.
00:29:21.000That's what makes me nervous about God save the queen, man.
00:29:24.000And I really, you guys, in England, I'm not doing this.
00:29:39.000I mean, yeah, but like when I was in... But do you love the monarchy?
00:29:42.000When I was in Thailand, you know, like five, oh man, like seven years ago now, when they were doing the whole monarchist versus parliamentarian protests, like even the people who were for like a democratic process with a prime minister would talk about how amazing the king was.
00:29:58.000Like he was a really good dude who helped out people and used his power properly, but it's time to move on.
00:30:05.000There were some people who disparaged the monarchy for sure, but then they would always be like, well, but we really do like the king because he's kind of a cool guy.
00:30:12.000So like the king in Thailand would use resources to like help the poor and like teach people to read and do things like that.
00:30:18.000So everyone was kind of just like, oh, monarchy sucks, but this guy's kind of cool.
00:30:22.000But apparently nobody likes his son, so I don't know.
00:30:24.000I'm not gonna pretend to be an expert on Thailand or anything like that.
00:30:26.000Yeah, it's usually a bad king when it falls apart.
00:30:27.000King John of England was when they forced the, uh, what was that thing they made him sign?
00:31:09.000But I want to talk about this thing with Harry's razors.
00:31:12.000For those who don't know, and I didn't know this, Harry's Razors sponsored The Daily Wire.
00:31:20.000The Examiner reports, Harry's Razors cancels advertising relationship with The Daily Wire show, ostensibly over one Twitter user's complaint.
00:31:29.000Let me break down for you the stupidity of cancel culture.
00:31:32.000Michael J. Knowles, he is a podcaster, political commentary guy for The Daily Wire, a Twitter account with two followers.
00:33:10.000So let's say, you know, I sponsor Ian and the contract is like a two-year deal where X amount of times per month Ian will shout out, you know, Tim's fancy water.
00:33:21.000And then there comes a point where I'm like, yo, we're not selling as much as we thought we were going to sell.
00:33:25.000And this ad deal seems to be a bad deal for us, but we locked in a two-year contract with them for sponsorship.
00:33:31.000We're only, I'm only selling one bottle of water every time, you know, Ian does a shout-out, but it's costing me as much as ten bottles of water's worth for the shout-out.
00:33:56.000I obviously think there's a lot of cancel culture that is, you know, legitimate psychopaths tweeting stupid things and getting people fired.
00:34:03.000But I have to wonder if there's a decent amount of fake cancel culture designed to help people escape contracts they don't want to be in anymore and not fulfill their obligations to these other companies.
00:34:23.000Twitter is used for so many different things.
00:34:25.000Like I remember, like Howard Stern would talk about, like they would have these sort of like And this is so many years ago, like, basically they'd have these extra accounts that they would use to help, like, get guests on the show by just tweeting at people.
00:35:41.000And, like, they made a video where they're like, we're proud to sponsor, like, the only African American bull rider in this, you know, field or whatever.
00:35:49.000And I'm like, so let me get this straight.
00:35:51.000They're mad at Michael J. Knowles for their perceived ideological difference, for what they support.
00:35:58.000But they are taking a very, very hard stance on animal cruelty issues.
00:36:01.000I'm not saying... Actually, I'll tell you straight up, I am no fan of rodeos.
00:36:05.000I am no fan of bull riding or bull fighting, especially.
00:36:27.000That's, like, I don't like the idea of using a bull for entertainment in this way.
00:36:31.000But I do find it fascinating where they draw the line and what ideology they're willing to support or oppose.
00:36:35.000Because animal rights and stuff is particularly left.
00:36:38.000You know, you've got, like, PETA and other organizations.
00:36:41.000That's why I question about whether or not Harry's actually cares about the Daily Wire and whether Michael J. Knowles is homophobic or transphobic and whether or not they're just trying to get out of a contract and they don't really believe it.
00:37:11.000Like, if Harry sponsored a Black Lives Matter guy, or whatever, and that was it, and then people complained about it, I'd be like, I don't care, whatever.
00:37:19.000Like, I was mentioning, I went to Zoomies, and they had, like, the Brenna Taylor thing, and I'm just like, whatever, man.
00:40:08.000But the weird thing about it is, like, some of the stuff in that ad was just, like, a guy saw a beautiful woman and was like, oh, and he, like, wanted to walk up to her, and then he gets stopped.
00:40:37.000This is actually very deep because it's disturbing.
00:40:40.000I went through just to feel like I shouldn't approach a woman and start talking to her because I'm afraid that she'll think I'm abusing her or something.
00:41:48.000But it is true that if you're like, if you're walking down the street and a guy says, nice day, he just literally harassed you and should be arrested, right?
00:41:56.000I'd be like, by day, do you mean like my boobs or my ass?
00:42:01.000Clearly you meant to say... I know the... Have you seen that five... Was it five hours or was it ten hours of walking through New York as a woman?
00:42:18.000So like if you get, if she gets hit on a bunch of times by gruesome dudes, then the one guy who's like, Hey, is, is just, it's by association.
00:42:26.000She feels like he's gruesome because she's over it.
00:42:29.000Look, man, there, there's like some really weird videos.
00:42:32.000There was one video on Reddit where a guy wearing a hoodie and a mask, he's wearing a mask because he has COVID, follows this woman and she's holding her camera up filming behind her.
00:42:42.000And she turns, he follows her the whole time.
00:42:45.000And then she goes into a skate park and then she walks up to some skater dude sitting on a ledge
00:42:49.000and she's like, this guy's following me, help. And then she sits down, they're like, sit down with us,
00:42:53.000you're cool. And then she points the camera and he's standing like 10 feet in front of all of
00:42:57.000these random people. Like there's legit creepo dudes. Oh yeah. I totally get that. Yeah. A lot
00:43:23.000I think, I think it's, it's still kind of trendy for certain types of women to get attention by like being victims instead of, you know, like accomplishing stuff.
00:43:32.000But aren't you just internalizing your misogyny by opposing the feminist narrative?
00:43:37.000It's like that gif where the person in all the math is happening.
00:43:44.000Trying to figure out how you're a bigot.
00:43:51.000I didn't have any sisters or anything, so I was always kind of nervous to talk to girls.
00:43:55.000I can only imagine after this movement of like, don't say hello to a girl on the street, like if I saw that when I was 15, Ugh, would have been like 10 times harder.
00:44:22.000Where, like, maybe what's happening in the Miami spring break thing is that because guys are no longer asking women, the women have to twerk to get attention?
00:44:49.000If guys don't ask women, how do women react to this?
00:44:54.000It's almost like an inadvertent social experiment, where forever we've had dudes basically court women, you know, pitch woo.
00:45:01.000You ever see a video of like, there's this really funny video of these little birds, and they're like little blackbirds, and then the one bird, the male bird, is like jumping back and forth and doing this crazy dance, and the female bird's like looking at him like, hmm.
00:45:38.000Which sucks, because there's so many women who love being approached still, and still don't like to be the aggressors, don't like to be the ones to make the first move.
00:46:58.000I guess, but that's not going to make these women want to approach men.
00:47:02.000If it's in your nature to want to be pursued, to want to be the receiver of the attention, I think you're going to be like, all right, I guess I have to do this.
00:47:11.000You're going to be like, I guess I have to be the one to talk to a guy.
00:47:15.000And then you're going to get beaten out over the women that are more competitive or more vocal.
00:47:22.000But I wonder though, I wonder how much it's true that guys don't like women making the first move and women want guys to make the first move and how these relationships will work with this like really dramatic and rapid change in the social dynamic, you know?
00:48:17.000Well, it sounds like it just sucks for men, right?
00:48:20.000Well, actually, actually, think about the ramifications of this.
00:48:23.000So if men don't express their feelings and that's, assuming that's true, Then men are less likely to write opinion pieces about their feelings.
00:48:34.000If feminists, if women end up being the ones to primarily write about how they feel about things, then you will see in this static gender neutral format, text on paper, you know, white, you know, letters on the screen, a story about what is right and what is wrong.
00:48:52.000And I wonder how many people actually read the byline to see who wrote it and consider the gender of the individual.
00:48:57.000So how often do we hear about, hey, you know, men should not approach women and it's written by a woman, but guys, when they read it, they don't see that part.
00:49:05.000They just see catcalling is wrong and they think catcalling is wrong.
00:49:08.000I mean, I guess if women are saying don't approach women, then you've got a problem because women don't want men to approach them.
00:49:14.000But maybe it's just the 1% of feminist women who work in these blogs that are speaking for every woman and then guys don't approach women anymore.
00:49:22.000Cause like the type of woman who wants to be approached probably is not the same type that's going to be a blogger.
00:49:31.000I think because if you, if you like to be right, like if you like to be approached, you like to be like, whatever the prize, you're not going to be like, this is how I feel.
00:50:21.000And then of that, it's like, probably like, you know, 90% of that 1% is far left.
00:50:30.000And then there's like moderate liberal and establishment liberal types.
00:50:33.000But that's like 1% of the country is tweeting this left crazy stuff that's dominating our culture and changing the way we communicate with each other.
00:50:40.000I think you just gotta go live in the middle of nowhere.
00:51:32.000So you think that if it's a very small percentage of people are considered active tweeters, the ones that are really tweeting a lot are probably like a very small percentage because there's probably a lot of people.
00:51:41.000There are some people who tweet like 400 times a day.
00:51:45.000Blue checky feminists, bloggers just like it's like a certain point.
00:51:49.000It's like you have an off switch because like I get it.
00:52:31.000They're just showing up and going like party, you know, and then they're just like, it's like the weird, what's this weird group of people that we exist in this like very active internet culture debate stuff.
00:53:07.000Yeah, so it's like, the real issue, I think, is conservatives sitting back, mocking the left, while there is a faction of people that were supposed to be on the left, now politically homeless, going at it with the woke feminists, but the woke feminist types and like critical race theorists have all the cultural power.
00:55:16.000Like you said, talked about white supremacy, and once that becomes taboo and they realize how racist it was, they're gonna cancel all the people that were screaming white supremacy?
00:55:25.000Well, I'm talking specifically about The Asian stuff, right?
00:55:30.000So we were joking on this show that I'm double white because I'm part Asian, and so I have, like, you know, extra privilege, you know, more than whatever.
00:55:42.000But now we have this big thing about stop Asian hate, and now all of a sudden, it's like... Now it's actually against the woke rules.
00:55:52.000So let me show you this thing that's going on with this writer, and then we'll just talk about what's going on with more cancel culture stuff, I guess, because why not?
00:57:13.000You see, like, could you imagine a comedian getting up there and just like saying something that was just made no sense and no one understood?
00:57:18.000And it wouldn't hit and you would learn your lesson and you would adjust and you don't really get that with Twitter even if you don't get a lot of likes or retweets like there's people who just they don't learn the lesson like oh that wasn't funny or that wasn't clever.
00:57:28.000Here's the problem with this woman specifically.
00:57:31.000So I normally don't like to call out the individuals by name.
00:57:33.000I try to focus on the ideas, but this is important because she tweeted on just a few days ago, about a week ago.
00:57:40.000Remember when someone had their SNL offer revoked after using an anti-Asian slur and so many people thought it was an overreaction?
00:59:38.000Yeah, you get a stick and put it behind you and then lay back on it if you can.
00:59:41.000My friends, I would like to describe what we're about to show you as Someone setting a fire in their own home, then getting called out for it, panicking, and setting another fire in their own home, and then burning their home down.
00:59:57.000So this writer for Robot Chicken, after getting, you know, attacked for being racist, then saying, yes, yes, you know, she knows she's racist and then getting attacked even more, decided the best thing to do is to triple down on her admitted racism by saying, The things I said... Yeah, go.
01:00:12.000The things I said in 2013, and in instances both before and after, are incredibly racist and, yes, violent.
01:01:34.000And there's like, racism with a small R, and then racism with a big R, where it's like, you might talk about race, and that's racist with the adjective, but if you're not hating on it, then you're not being like a big R racist.
01:02:12.000There was a meme about it where there was like three Disney movies or something where like they had ginger characters and then they replaced them with like non-white characters and people were like they're coming for the gingers or whatever.
01:03:03.000Yeah, and I was in Dallas when all the blackouts happened because I was performing at a club out there, and I just got really used to walking around the hotel in the dark.
01:03:12.000I was like, this is great, I know where I'm going.
01:03:46.000I'm gonna take the alternate route and say I don't want them to quit because it's like, do you want to heal the organ or cut the organ out?
01:03:54.000And often cutting the organ out is a drastic thing.
01:04:35.000I don't think they care about anything.
01:04:36.000I mean, like, this woman who is accusing herself of being a violent racist is probably one of the funniest, like, self-owns I have ever seen.
01:05:10.000If you've never been in a fight, the worst pain you've ever felt is when someone called you like a doo-doo head.
01:05:14.000So here's this, this, this, this Ellery woman, you know, and she's probably growing up in some like affluent, you know, New York suburb or whatever.
01:09:00.000It's like there's just easy things and it's kind of just like these feelings are misplaced now because it's all in our pocket and people who aren't seeking out comedy, who aren't funny, who have no sense of humor, it's like well now I'm looking at it and I can give my opinion right away and I feel like I have the power to destroy this thing or this person.
01:09:17.000It's almost like people who, you know, don't have a great sense of humor are being exposed to comedy and they just like don't know what to do with it.
01:09:27.000I don't know if it was Ryan Long who told us this, but it might have been, but you can tell me what your thoughts are, having done comedy.
01:09:33.000I think it was Ryan, but I'm not sure, so I don't want to put words in his mouth, but we were being told that when you're doing comedy and you're ribbing on, like, some group of people, not, like, based on race, but, like, if you're talking about motorcycle riders, there will be, like, you know, some people in the corner be like, oh, like, make fun of us, make fun of us!
01:09:59.000It's like we've all laughed at another group and we wouldn't laugh if it wasn't kind of true.
01:10:05.000Well, humans—I was reading about stereotypes in comedy, and they were saying that humans recognize patterns, but patterns aren't always correct.
01:10:13.000And one of the things that kind of makes it funny is recognizing what seems to be a pattern that's not necessarily correct.
01:10:19.000So we have this card game called Write or Racist.
01:10:23.000All right, so Cassandra got it for me for my birthday, and, uh, it's an okay game.
01:10:28.000I'm not gonna say it's the best game in the world.
01:10:29.000I think it's fun, and, uh, shout out to the, you know, the people who made the game and hit me up because we showed it before.
01:10:35.000But it's good in that it asks you a question or makes a statement, and they have to determine if that statement is true or if it is a stereotype.
01:10:44.000And what makes the game funny is when sometimes the stereotypes are true, and so it asks you a question, and it'll be like, I won't give an actual question from the game, because YouTube will ban me.
01:11:45.000Yeah, but there is a question about cab drivers in New York and their ethnicity, their national origin, and then it asks you if it's true.
01:11:55.000I do think there are some issues with question formatting because I think, you know, it could have been done better, but it's a really good idea for a game that is really funny when people are forced So like you laid on a card and the card says it's right so everyone gets to see you saying that stereotype is true But that's the point I'm making is what's funny about that game is what what's funny about the jokes on family guy, right?
01:12:19.000So there was a joke they made where like... I'm allowed to say this joke, by the way, because I'm part Asian, okay?
01:12:28.000And it's Alex Borstein, who is the voice of Lois, and they said something like, that's worse than an Asian woman driving or something or trying to perform a lane change.
01:14:44.000It's like, oh, these people just like comedy.
01:14:47.000I was reading this article about a woman who became a comic and then quit because she was like, men didn't laugh at my jokes because they're bigots.
01:15:08.000She, she was doing standup and she thought the reason guys wouldn't let people, she thought the reason people didn't laugh at her jokes because she was a woman.
01:15:15.000So she dressed up like a guy and then did the set and nobody laughed.
01:15:19.000And then her boyfriend was like, she left crying.
01:15:22.000And she's like, I don't want to do this anymore.
01:16:08.000What he was saying is that like, from a biological standpoint, men are trying to attract women by asserting dominance, by entertaining, and women don't have to do that.
01:16:22.000I noticed with, um, physical comedy, it, it helps if you have short hair or like no moment, nothing like distracting from the face when you move.
01:16:31.000Cause if you turn your head real fast and this is like flopping, it distracts everybody.
01:16:34.000But if it's just one flashy movement, then you can like snap.
01:16:39.000Get people like Jim Carrey was so good.
01:16:40.000Cause his hair was always like static.
01:16:59.000I would get advice from people being like, you know, you should really wear like a jacket and pants and like, you know, like.
01:17:05.000Legends of comedy like this one woman Gladys like a lot of people look up to her for comedy advice and she's like you need to wear like a jacket with shoulders and pants and I was like are you talking about Ellen in the 90s that's how I have to dress?
01:17:16.000I just couldn't do it because I like I just didn't want to I wanted to be myself on stage but I would realize like you look at the crowd you're like you see people getting distracted you see somebody like looking at your tits like you see a woman being like oh is is my guy like laughing What do you guys think about stereotypes going forward?
01:18:27.000And I'm like, man, I started thinking about it.
01:18:28.000I'm like, maybe that's one of one factor, perhaps that there'll be a lot of women who try to give, they try to deliver their humor in the same way they saw a guy do it.
01:18:38.000Not realizing that socially, it doesn't necessarily make sense the same way when a guy would say it.
01:18:43.000Like, I'll see a lot of women comics, and they'll either do that thing you're mentioning, Tim, like, well, they'll try to deliver or do jokes, like, edgy jokes, like they think a guy would.
01:18:51.000Oh, because these guys get successful this way, and I want to be successful, so let me follow that model.
01:18:56.000And then you have other, like, comics, girl comics, starting out, and you're like, Well, I have to be like Amy Schumer.
01:19:14.000And so I think you feel pressure starting out to either go that way.
01:19:18.000And the ones that break ahead of the pack and become successful are the ones that like are true to their selves and are true to their voices.
01:19:24.000An audience can tell when you're like not comfortable in your own skin.
01:19:27.000The thing about Amy Schumer is that she makes disgusting jokes that are, like, not really jokes.
01:19:59.000That maybe was like, OK, maybe she's forcing.
01:20:00.000But I think I think that's another case of women trying to take men's comedy and be like, I'm going to do it this way because this works for guys.
01:20:06.000I want to be dirty and gross and raunchy and talk about stuff that no one wants to hear about.
01:20:58.000That reminds me of another Family Guy joke where they're, he's like, you know, they're like, that's almost as bad, or whatever the callback thing is, as like that one woman hanging out with the guys, trying to prove that she's a sports fan.
01:21:10.000And it's like guys just sitting there with their eyes half closed, like drinking beer, and there's the woman going like, I like sports!
01:21:46.000There could be a place specifically for women who have mastered this, you know, speechless form of entertainment where they're showing their bodies.
01:21:55.000We could put like, you know, to make it easier for them to move around, we could put a pole on the stage.
01:23:48.000It was like OkCupid when they used to put out the data sets.
01:23:52.000They don't anymore because they'll get canceled if they do.
01:23:55.000But it was like you have all these women.
01:23:56.000This is also an interesting factor in the social aspect of how all this stuff works.
01:24:01.000We're talking about how women respond in terms of social norms and stuff.
01:24:06.000All of these women on OkCupid were putting things in their profile like, if you're a guy, and you're not wearing a shirt in your picture, don't bother messaging me!
01:24:13.000And then OkCupid put out this data and they're like, actually, they say that, but they're substantially more likely to respond to a guy not wearing a shirt.
01:24:20.000They were like, the women who put in their profiles, don't bother messaging if you're not wearing a shirt, are more likely to respond to a guy who has a photo with no shirt on.
01:24:29.000Like, I'm not gonna ask for it outright, but like, if you can sell it, I'll be on your profile.
01:25:14.000So it's probably trying to try to attract guys, I guess.
01:25:16.000Yeah, I think when you're single you always try to, cause like I always remember my mom would tell me when I was single, she'd be like, you never know, you know, like you could just dress up if you're going to the deli.
01:25:24.000Like, who knows, you might get a half a pound of turkey and a salami if you're good, you know.
01:25:31.000Well, that's actually I think a pickup artist thing though.
01:25:39.000for sure because then you find like a regular woman who's just doing normal things whereas like the bar is going to be people looking for a good time not necessarily looking for a legitimate relationship true and the laundromat that's something they say to go to the laundromat yeah like a church or something yeah church for sure yeah if you want to get an arranged marriage for your daughter dog parks dog parks No, but I, you know, not to disparage church people if I got mad, but, uh, yeah, yeah, you're not going to find, uh, you're going to find regular people doing regular stuff going on about regular things.
01:26:25.000Like, it's always kind of been an irritant over the last few years, but the last year and the lockdowns has really, it's been really fascinating because the woke, like, liberally comics, they kind of, they'll perform mostly, it would be New York, it would be LA, and everything in between is a flyover state that doesn't deserve our time, our energy, our effort.
01:26:46.000Like, they're all just dumb Americans, right?
01:26:48.000So that's where you let the real racist humor just totally go in.
01:27:15.000Like, we're getting more work because we're performing all over the country and we haven't ruled out, you know, Any particular state or city and we're developing our fan bases and now it used to be way back when like the woe comics kind of had an edge because they would be more likely to booked for like Colbert or Fallon or they'd get a Comedy Central special and now it seems like your following has replaced in a sense like your credits so if you have a big enough following through like your podcast or whatever and you can fill a room or a venue that club is going to be like yeah we want we want you instead of
01:27:50.000You have a Letterman credit or you have a Fallon credit from years ago, but you have no Twitter engagement.
01:28:42.000So if you heard of like Opie and Anthony from Sirius, so it's Anthony Comey's network.
01:28:47.000He started it like maybe five or six years ago.
01:28:50.000Just a place to have his own show and then he brought on he was co-hosting with Dave Landau for a while and Dave just left to do Crowder's show.
01:29:00.000But I mean Anthony is not a stand-up comic but he is funnier than so many comics I know.
01:29:06.000You got me really optimistic right now.
01:29:14.000I mean, Ryan Long, for instance, Tim Dillon, Andrew Schultz, they're just skyrocketing.
01:29:20.000You've got these other writers, you know, like this Ellery woman, canceling themselves, publicly declaring that they themselves are violent racists.
01:29:28.000Wow, that's going to help you get work in the future.
01:30:23.000Um, Brogan mentioned this quite a bit, that, like, comedians are the last bastion of sanity in, like, any kind of culture war.
01:30:30.000And even, like, historically, even if the world were to fall apart and then reformulate as, like, a giant monarchy, the monarch still has a jester that will make fun of him and say the most racist, you know, the most offensive stuff directly to the king, because he needs humor.
01:31:27.000You know, there came a point in his career where he literally was not making jokes.
01:31:31.000And that was some of the best stuff he ever did, where it's just like he gets on stage and he rants about how messed up everything is and everyone's laughing.
01:32:17.000I didn't really mean those things about those people.
01:32:19.000You know, as long as it's not in text, once it goes into text, like if Dave Chappelle had written all that stuff on Twitter, all those jokes, he'd be canceled right now.
01:32:27.000The things Dave Chappelle said in that standup special on Netflix were spicy.
01:33:49.000A tweet from me would be something like, when Joe Biden tripped and fell, I would say something like, Joe Biden, here's my honest opinion, he tried running up the stairs.
01:34:02.000He said when Donald Trump was walking down that ramp, slowly, he was like, if it were me, I'd run up the ramp.
01:34:08.000So he's trying to be like, I'm still with it, I got the, oh, and then he falls over and nearly hurts himself.
01:34:13.000So an anti-tweet is when I, instead, I said, remember when Trump struggled to walk down a ramp?
01:34:18.000Joe Biden was clearly just checking his shoe.
01:34:21.000Conservabros would be wise to pay attention.
01:34:23.000So it's, anti-tweeting is not necessarily a sarcastic snarky tweet, kind of like that was.
01:34:29.000To take it one step further, anti-tweeting would be something like, Joe Biden is doing a tremendous job, he's an amazing president, and I respect him highly.
01:34:55.000And then PJ Media, which is like a conservative outlet, when I anti-tweeted the thing about Joe Biden, you know, checking his shoe, they actually quoted it and said, liberal journalist Tim Poole.
01:35:23.000I mean, I think you're one of the most, like, liberal dudes I know.
01:35:26.000Like, just willing to, like, put yourself out there and get crazy.
01:35:29.000The culture war issues today are not liberal versus conservative.
01:35:33.000And so that's where everyone's getting confused.
01:35:35.000It's like, someone mentioned this before in the Super Chats, it's constructivist versus essentialist.
01:35:43.000It's like a core component of the culture war.
01:35:45.000Do you think there are immutable scientific facts, objective facts, or do you think reality is just manufactured by thought?
01:35:53.000And so if you're someone who believes in the science, you're effectively an essentialist in many ways.
01:35:58.000They're trying to confuse this by claiming science says things it doesn't say.
01:36:01.000Like, there was this big thing that happened with Jesse Singleton, he's a journalist, and he's being accused of being an anti-trans bigot by GLAAD, which is the LGBTQ+, you know, advocacy group.
01:36:11.000And they said something like, in their article, that there are more than three biological sex- I'm sorry, there are three or more, more than two biological sexes.
01:36:20.000And I'm like, science literally does not say that.
01:36:23.000Science points out that there are two, and then there are... This is going to get me in trouble with these organizations, but syndromes and different combinations of chromosomes.
01:36:32.000But the reference to biological sex is specifically to the... I'm not a scientist.
01:37:21.000So when people say they're libertarian in the traditional American context, they're basically saying classical liberalism, which is like center-right politically.
01:37:30.000And then, I've always maintained I'm social liberal, center-left politically.
01:37:34.000Seriously, you need read only like one paragraph about social liberals, and you're like, ah yes, I understand what that is.
01:37:41.000It's the traditional liberal position in the United States, not the classical, where it's like, hey, civil rights are good things, and you know, we need the Civil Rights Act, and there are some social programs that actually work to help people.
01:38:32.000What the bleep do we know is a bunch of misinterpreted... Yeah, it was like a cult around that woman that was like channeling some alien or something.
01:38:41.000They think that you can manifest, like the observer changes physical reality.
01:38:46.000So there is the secret, which is like manifesting where you focus on things.
01:38:50.000There's a very, really simple explanation for all of that stuff.
01:38:53.000And it's that if you wake up every day, this is what they say.
01:38:54.000If you wake up every day and you focus on what you want, it will manifest.
01:38:57.000It's like, yeah, if you wake up every day and say, I want this thing, you'll be actively pursuing and viewing that path.
01:39:03.000So it's like, if you're like, if every time I see a certain highway, you know, I'm going to, if you woke up every day and said, I'm going to drive this highway, you'd be looking for it.
01:39:24.000Constructivism is the idea that there is no objective reality.
01:39:28.000Not that you can manifest it, though there is a kind of similar thing there.
01:39:32.000However, I will say, to your point in the manifesting, I know a lot of extremely successful people who are convinced magic is real and manifest their existence and make things happen for them.
01:39:41.000But the more you talk about it, the more kooky you sound.
01:39:46.000I was just at the casino and I was playing craps and I think I rolled like 30 times and all the people gambling were just like screaming and cheering because I kept rolling.
01:39:55.000For those that are familiar with craps, I rolled a 5 first and then I rolled like 30 times until I hit 7 and was out.
01:40:05.000So it was just like, You were on a roll.
01:40:50.000And I'm wondering if like, there's a difference between that and any kind of faith.
01:40:54.000I guess, I guess the difference is they have faith in themselves.
01:40:57.000They believe in there's like some kind of spiritual power within them.
01:40:59.000It's a really interesting narcissistic thing.
01:41:01.000No wonder a lot of those people I know are in Hollywood.
01:41:04.000I know, but when it comes to being a creative person, any kind of artist, you know what it feels like to be in flow, to be in alignment, and that's when sometimes the most brilliant creations come about.
01:41:15.000If I'm in a good space on stage, the stuff that I end up improvising hits harder than my material, and that's just because I'm in the present moment, and I'm focused, and I'm in flow.
01:41:29.000I think it's magnetic when you quiet your frontal lobe and you go into flow state, like the energy is fluxing through you, maybe more coherently.
01:41:40.000You did too when you were rolling the dice.
01:41:41.000You knew what numbers were up when you closed your hand and you shook it and you could measure the way they bounced around, subconsciously let it go.
01:42:12.000Make sure you go to TimCast.com because we're going to have a fun, probably profanity-filled bonus segment after we wrap up here on the live show.
01:42:20.000And, uh, like, share, subscribe, all that stuff.
01:43:36.000Maybe you're related to one of the Facebook guys, like, eight times removed.
01:43:38.000No, but like if you look at family trees, it's crazy because like you go back six times, you'll find one dude, and then they'll have like 10,000 descendants.
01:44:01.000Gunn Griffin says, Bill Clinton at one point said, if you think the counterculture of the 1960s was the high point of America, then you're probably a liberal.

01:46:04.000So I look at women's tennis and I look at Serena Williams' success and wealth and she's like probably the most famous tennis player in the world.
01:46:26.000She's, she's a massive superstar and she's really good in, and, and she's like the best.
01:46:31.000Now you get these like, you know, woke.
01:46:34.000Articles where they're like she's the greatest tennis player period and it's like well, come on, man She's definitely one of the best but she is playing in the Women's League and there was like some famous story about like some dude who was like low-ranking who?

01:49:39.000And you know, overstimulation when you're, when you're in proximity to other humans and you have unlimited amounts of food and sugar, I said sugar, you guys, uh, that you become overstimulated and psychotic.

01:51:46.000All I know is that I watch Carl Benjamin videos, and I remember there was something about an unwritten constitution which makes it hard for them to enforce things, and everybody knows Carl Benjamin is a better source than Jason Solo, because Jason was the now retconned son of Han, right?
01:54:20.000Every every I would say nine out of ten times growing up in Chicago moving living in New York living in LA Do you want to go out basically meant do you want to put things in your mouth?
01:55:11.000We used to, when I was a little kid, we would just try and push our boundaries and ride our bikes as far as we could before we knew the lights would turn on and we'd have to go home.
01:55:20.000Then you get older and you've like, you know, you've got satellites, you've discovered everything, what's there to do?
01:55:25.000I suppose a lot of people, like, we still haven't explored every part of the planet, and a lot of people think that we have, but we haven't, so... There's always something to go out and do, I guess.
01:55:34.000Okay, you wanna go, uh, explore the ocean with me?

02:05:29.000All of our cameras literally say 4K on them, but ingesting 4K into a computer, we're gonna need to upgrade that stuff.
02:05:36.000And the issue is, when we did do 4K before, people actually complained.

02:06:08.000I don't know, but you can always downscale it if you're watching, right?
02:06:11.000Yeah, and then one of the problems we had was that the original web hosting we were doing for TimCast.com didn't have that ability.
02:06:17.000So the higher resolution files were too big for people to watch.
02:06:20.000So then we had to switch things up, and ultimately, 4K's way more expensive to host, way larger files, way longer to upload, and a lot of people asked us not to do it, so we didn't.
02:06:30.000Although, we could theoretically have more than one For the time being, I don't think we necessarily need to do it.
