Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - NBA And MLB Get WOKE Go Broke, Cancel Games For BLM, Ryan Long Comedy Joins

00:00:00.000 I didn't believe it was real.

00:00:20.000 You may have seen the segment I did on this.

00:00:22.000 I did not believe it was real.

00:00:24.000 The NBA did... I can't even do this.

00:00:31.000 It's so difficult for me.

00:00:32.000 We got Ryan Long here.

00:00:35.000 Just happy to be the debut comedian on the TimCast.

00:00:39.000 To all my fans out there watching right now, thank you for supporting me as the first comedian.

00:00:45.000 Absolutely, absolutely.

00:00:46.000 So I'm glad you're here because this is what I'm struggling with.

00:00:49.000 There's an article from Yahoo.

00:00:50.000 Okay, the big news right now is the NBA is boycotting a bunch of games because they're traumatized from watching this video of this guy who, you know, he got shot by the cops and stuff.

00:01:00.000 So I can understand people, you know, unhappy with it.

00:01:03.000 How it affects the NBA, they're apparently saying that they're not in the right frame of mind to be able to play games right now.

00:01:09.000 And so now we got Major League Baseball, like, they're canceling their games too.

00:01:15.000 Because people are upset and they're traumatized over this.

00:01:17.000 But the craziest thing about this article is that the whole thing reads like it's satire.

00:01:22.000 For one, that these people are traumatized over this online... Like, look, I get people are mad, but whoa, come on, man.

00:01:28.000 And then that they would buy Teslas to try and hide from the police so they don't get pulled over.

00:01:33.000 The whole thing just reads like it's fake news.

00:01:35.000 But this is real!

00:01:36.000 It's real!

00:01:36.000 The NBA's ratings are down, they're boycotting, and everyone's laughing at them.

00:01:42.000 So anyway, considering the news was particularly absurd today, I thought it'd be great to have Ryan Long on, because you're a comedian, right?

00:01:50.000 Yeah, dude, I love the fact that they go, you know, a lot of these guys, they try to get Teslas so people will think they're white. 0.99

00:01:59.000 I like the idea of the black guys are like, you know, we just wanted the cops to think we're white, so I've shortened my penis. 0.98

00:02:05.000 We're doing all sorts of things to let people know. 0.99

00:02:08.000 We have Blink-182 blasting in our Teslas.

00:02:12.000 Blink-182?

00:02:13.000 Is that like Nickelback?

00:02:16.000 I don't know.

00:02:16.000 What's a very white person kind of band?

00:02:19.000 Hello, officer.

00:02:20.000 I never made it as a wise man.

00:02:22.000 The cop walked up to the Tesla and he's blasting Nickelback and the cop goes, he stops halfway and goes, I made a mistake.

00:02:28.000 It's funny.

00:02:28.000 You're making some jokes.

00:02:29.000 It's literally in the article.

00:02:30.000 We're going to read it. 0.85

00:02:30.000 It's ridiculous, and we're going to talk about what's going on. 0.85

00:02:32.000 11 transistor cranking out. 0.59

00:02:35.000 I it's it's it's it's it's funny.

00:02:40.000 You're making some jokes.

00:02:41.000 It's literally in the article. 0.90

00:02:42.000 We're going to read it is ridiculous and we're going to talk about what's going on. 0.61

00:02:44.000 And we've got we've got some other news.

00:02:46.000 But for the most part, we're going to hang out with Ryan.

00:02:48.000 I figured you'd you.

00:02:50.000 So for those that are familiar, you did a bunch of you.

00:02:52.000 I mean, you got a bunch of comedy sketches and they're all hilarious.

00:02:55.000 Thank you.

00:02:56.000 So for those that are, you probably have seen it, because it's probably got like, what, the 20 million views combined.

00:03:02.000 Yeah, yeah. 0.97

00:03:03.000 Woke and racist. 0.97

00:03:04.000 That one, yeah.

00:03:05.000 You know what, it's hard to tell, as you know, because everyone like rips your content.

00:03:09.000 The one yesterday, I did this stock market one and it was like number one on Reddit, but instead of someone putting a video up, they just ripped it and put it up themselves.

00:03:17.000 Yeah.

00:03:18.000 That's how it works, man. 0.99

00:03:19.000 Scumbags out there. 1.00

00:03:20.000 We got no respect. 0.98

00:03:22.000 For everybody that's tuning in, make sure you hit the like button, subscribe.

00:03:25.000 We're live every Monday through Friday at 8pm.

00:03:27.000 But you know, it's been crazy.

00:03:30.000 I wake up this morning and I see some of the most brutal and gruesome videos I've ever seen.

00:03:34.000 Or at least, not ever, but I've seen in these riots.

00:03:37.000 So this is some of the stuff that we were briefly talking about before we started the show.

00:03:41.000 I'm just like, man, this stuff in Kenosha.

00:03:42.000 And you made a bunch of, you made a couple, I can't remember exactly what you said, but they were really funny and offensive pertaining to just like riots and stuff.

00:03:50.000 But I'm like, no, no, it's a good thing.

00:03:51.000 It's a good thing.

00:03:52.000 Cause, cause we're going to talk about dark stuff, I guess.

00:03:55.000 Tim was saying the N word off camera.

00:03:57.000 Oh my gosh, no.

00:03:57.000 I just said listen.

00:04:00.000 It's going to be that kind of show, huh?

00:04:03.000 But I think it was funny just like the reference you made about, I don't know, the dick joke with the NBA players.

00:04:10.000 It's just like, all right, good.

00:04:11.000 Let's have a laugh because I'm sure a lot of people are not feeling it right now with as crazy as everything's been.

00:04:16.000 Listen, if you're one of these people who's been traumatized from watching this video and you stand in solidarity with the NBA players, we got Ryan Logg.

00:04:23.000 He's going to make you laugh.

00:04:23.000 So you should feel a lot better.

00:04:25.000 I mean, you did say that it's all these black guys are trying to look white.

00:04:29.000 I go, well, that seems like the opposite of my high school.

00:04:32.000 Yeah, well, this article, I got halfway through it from Yahoo Sports, and I started laughing.

00:04:40.000 I'm like, I'm being pressured.

00:04:41.000 Yeah, dude, I mean, that's the thing.

00:04:43.000 Some people see stuff like this, and they're like, you're not supposed to laugh.

00:04:46.000 Like, I have friends that, you know, people we know have died, and then the comedian goes on that night, and the idea is like, you know, my buddy died, which sucks, because he owes me money.

00:04:55.000 Which is like a standard, but it depends on how you kind of interface with the world, if you think you're supposed to laugh at stuff or not laugh at stuff.

00:05:01.000 I went to the riots in New York a few times, and yeah, you're like, this is crazy and there's obviously problems, but also there was some hilarious stuff happening.

00:05:10.000 Really?

00:05:11.000 I saw this like hood dude and he broke the store window. 0.91

00:05:14.000 I've talked about this in my podcast, but he broke the store window and then he came out with a pair of shoes and he yells, he goes, these kicks is for Floyd.

00:05:21.000 Wow.

00:05:22.000 But have you seen the videos of people just like running in and just running out and they're all laughing and yelling?

00:05:27.000 Yeah.

00:05:27.000 They're like, yeah, come up.

00:05:28.000 It's like, I made a video.

00:05:29.000 It's not really.

00:05:30.000 It's not really for Floyd.

00:05:31.000 No.

00:05:32.000 Well, I mean, you know, dude, it was all the things.

00:05:34.000 There was a bunch of white kids that were just partying.

00:05:36.000 There was a bunch of black kids that had like DMX playing and they're just having fun.

00:05:39.000 Like, and then there's people that are taking advantage of it.

00:05:41.000 There was all the different things.

00:05:42.000 There's some people, dude, there was one guy, he was, uh, this Latino guy.

00:05:46.000 Right.

00:05:46.000 And he kind of was there and he's like, Stop!

00:05:48.000 This is not what the movement's about!

00:05:50.000 We need to stop breaking windows! 1.00

00:05:52.000 And then this, like, black dude goes, Yo, shut up! 1.00

00:05:54.000 And then threw an egg at him. 0.99

00:05:56.000 And this guy just got egged, and you see it go down, and the guy's just like, Alright, I guess I tried.

00:06:02.000 I was in Brazil during these major protests back in, I think it was 2013.

00:06:07.000 And some dude was walking around selling beer.

00:06:10.000 Yeah.

00:06:10.000 He knows what's up.

00:06:11.000 And people were buying it.

00:06:13.000 And the guy I was with, he was like, that's capitalism right there.

00:06:17.000 This guy, he gets it.

00:06:19.000 He sees an opportunity, so he brought a cooler out and he was like, you know, cerveza and all that stuff.

00:06:24.000 I saw people do that with the shirts.

00:06:25.000 So people were breaking into stores and they stole stuff, right?

00:06:28.000 And then they would come out and immediately start selling it.

00:06:31.000 Like everyone's like, I got 32!

00:06:33.000 Ralph Lauren, who needs a 32?

00:06:34.000 And someone's like, you got a 34?

00:06:36.000 And they're already honking it on the streets.

00:06:37.000 It's like he's standing outside the store.

00:06:39.000 He shatters the window and he grabs it and he goes, I got a shirt right here.

00:06:42.000 Dude, there's so many guys in New York that just sell junk all day long.

00:06:45.000 You go to their table and they're just selling whatever, like a cup of clothespins or whatever.

00:06:51.000 Nothing.

00:06:52.000 So, and then people come around, they're stealing stuff, they're like, oh crap, we're stealing stuff now?

00:06:56.000 I'm all good, let's do it.

00:06:57.000 There's a crazy video where some dude goes in and steals a computer and walks out, and then two guys steal the computer from him.

00:07:02.000 And then they run away, I'm just like, man.

00:07:02.000 Yeah.

00:07:04.000 Circle of life, that's what that's called.

00:07:06.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:07:06.000 You got got.

00:07:07.000 The bigger thieves start, you know, the computer goes all the way up and then eventually lands in some like corporate office where they really know how to steal.

00:07:13.000 I mean, a lot of times, I remember with G20 in Canada when I was in Toronto, the G20 happened and everyone was like, yo, it's a party.

00:07:20.000 Everyone's like, yo, you can just go break windows and do whatever you want.

00:07:24.000 It's the purge tonight, essentially, right?

00:07:27.000 So everyone does that, and then over the next five years, it was like, yo, remember Jason?

00:07:31.000 He's going to jail for a year for that.

00:07:33.000 So basically over the next year, everyone would start getting their trial dates and stuff like that.

00:07:38.000 So I mean, there's going to be a whole team of whatever police that for the next three years, their whole job is like tracking down these people.

00:07:44.000 It's already happening, man.

00:07:45.000 Yeah, we'll see what happens.

00:07:46.000 But I think a lot of these people are gonna be like, that was fun.

00:07:48.000 And then you're like, yeah, not so fun when you're in jail now.

00:07:51.000 Some of these people are going to prison for a long time.

00:07:52.000 30 years.

00:07:53.000 Molotov cocktails.

00:07:54.000 Assault on an officer.

00:07:55.000 They think they're playing games.

00:07:57.000 I mean, a couple people died last night. 0.99

00:07:59.000 They go out, they start acting tough, acting a fool, and now... They think it's the game. 0.99

00:08:03.000 They think it's the Purge.

00:08:04.000 They think it's fun.

00:08:05.000 Yeah, I mean it was, so like they're right.

00:08:07.000 Oh yeah.

00:08:08.000 Well now, well yeah sure sure, but you know, you gotta pay.

00:08:11.000 Yeah.

00:08:12.000 Ain't no such thing as a free lunch, right?

00:08:13.000 Yeah, but it does seem like it at the time.

00:08:15.000 It was like, oh we're all getting free sweatpants.

00:08:18.000 That was worth it.

00:08:19.000 Now you're gonna get free orange sweatpants.

00:08:21.000 Yeah.

00:08:22.000 Here, let's do this.

00:08:25.000 So first, I'll show you the more serious news, and then we'll cry a little bit about how insane this whole story is.

00:08:31.000 Fox News says NBA calls off playoff games after Milwaukee Bucks boycott game over shooting of Jacob Blake.

00:08:38.000 the league's hand after protesting the Sunday shooting by Kenosha police of Jacob Blake,

00:08:38.000 I got a theory about this.

00:08:43.000 a 29-year-old black man.

00:08:45.000 That's the gist of it, but it gets crazier.

00:08:48.000 Milwaukee Brewers join Bucks in protest, sit out game versus Reds after Jacob Blake shooting.

00:08:53.000 I got a theory about this.

00:08:55.000 Have you seen any of these games they've been doing?

00:08:58.000 The basketball games?

00:08:59.000 Recently, because of COVID. 0.61

00:09:00.000 Yeah, you think the games have been sucking, so they're like... So actually, I have it right here.

00:09:08.000 Check this out.

00:09:09.000 NBA playoff ratings on ESPN are down 40%.

00:09:11.000 Ratings, my understanding, across the board are down.

00:09:14.000 So imagine this, right?

00:09:15.000 You're used to playing major league sports.

00:09:17.000 You got all these fans.

00:09:18.000 You know, they're all yelling, you're all excited, and you get the three-pointer, you swing, you home run, everyone's cheering.

00:09:23.000 Now it's a bunch of cardboard cutouts.

00:09:25.000 Yeah, janitors sweeping as you dunked on your opponent.

00:09:28.000 And you're creeped out!

00:09:30.000 I mean, I would be creeped out.

00:09:32.000 I couldn't imagine.

00:09:32.000 I used to, you know, skate in contests a long time ago.

00:09:36.000 I couldn't imagine... Figure skate.

00:09:37.000 Yeah, figure skating, for sure.

00:09:39.000 Skateboarding.

00:09:41.000 But, there's people all over, and it really hypes you up when you're like, if I know I got this, people, like, they cheer for you, they cheer you on, it gives you that energy.

00:09:48.000 I couldn't imagine, like, I skate by myself sometimes, a lot of the time you're just skating for yourself, but when you're going out for a contest, and you're pushing your limits, and there's no one there, and it's just, like, you just cough off to the side, the janitor, he's sweeping, and they expect you to perform to your greatest without support of, you know, the crowds cheering for you.

00:10:08.000 Yeah, it's like, I don't know if you've seen wrestling without the audiences, but it is a sad sight.

00:10:13.000 The guy's like, oh, I can't hear you!

00:10:16.000 It's just a cardboard cutout creaking in the wind.

00:10:18.000 It's a janitor.

00:10:19.000 Yeah, dude.

00:10:21.000 I was gonna make a really offensive joke, I won't do it.

00:10:25.000 So I wonder if the reason why they're actually boycotting is because they're all like, dude, we need an out.

00:10:29.000 Yeah.

00:10:29.000 Like, they're playing these games in these rooms where there's like, just like, I was watching, I think it was WNBA, they walked out on the National Anthem, and they're not even in a court, they're not even in like an arena.

00:10:39.000 They're in like a high school gym.

00:10:41.000 Well, the fans of the WNBA have been boycotting by not showing up for ages.

00:10:45.000 Yeah, they didn't have to worry about the cardboard cutouts for that one, they just were like, you know, no one's gonna be here anyway.

00:10:51.000 It's funny. 0.96

00:10:52.000 Holy crap, the attendance is wild! 0.96

00:10:54.000 Because they actually put biggest attendance in history! 0.96

00:10:57.000 The first time the seats have been filled.

00:10:59.000 I remember when the WNBA boycott thing happened, they walk out on the National Anthem, and I immediately pulled up the clip from Family Guy.

00:11:08.000 Seth MacFarlane's the one who made the joke, not me.

00:11:11.000 Where he's like, I don't know if you've ever seen the joke, but it's really offensive.

00:11:16.000 I mean, by today's standards, for sure.

00:11:17.000 Not so much back then, but he's like, so-and-so is going to make the shot, she scores two points, and that's why she commands $7,000 a year.

00:11:28.000 And they're like, but is the money worth being that unattractive?

00:11:32.000 I don't know.

00:11:32.000 That's for the fan to decide.

00:11:34.000 There's one guy in the stance chair.

00:11:36.000 That's good.

00:11:37.000 That's five jokes in a row.

00:11:38.000 I know.

00:11:39.000 That was Family Guy, man.

00:11:41.000 Yeah, the NBA's been fighting it by not dunking.

00:11:43.000 For real.

00:11:44.000 Seriously.

00:11:45.000 They can't dunk.

00:11:46.000 So anyway, this is it, right?

00:11:47.000 Only doing layups in protest.

00:11:49.000 So they, you know, the Brewers are boycotting, NBA's boycotting.

00:11:54.000 Like I said, I think maybe it's because they're just... I would love for this to catch on and people do their normal jobs.

00:11:59.000 Like, you know, just a bunch of guys at McDonald's being like, you know what, the fry cooks are staying home today.

00:12:03.000 You're like, you know, it's against racism.

00:12:06.000 And you're like, which one died?

00:12:07.000 You're like, I don't know, one of them.

00:12:08.000 That's what they're doing.

00:12:09.000 They've been calling for a general strike.

00:12:11.000 But this is the funny thing.

00:12:12.000 Just a general strike of everyone in the world?

00:12:14.000 That's what, yeah, so it's a very common thing.

00:12:16.000 They try to get done.

00:12:17.000 Like a pajama day, sort of.

00:12:18.000 Yeah, like an extended siesta.

00:12:21.000 Nap time.

00:12:22.000 Sounds great.

00:12:23.000 Like people in the Mediterranean get it. 1.00

00:12:24.000 But a general strike among the left is when everyone just stops working.

00:12:28.000 But they don't realize, they actually don't have the support of like... Imagine just women did it and they're like, women are just gonna stop working and everything just went back to normal. 0.99

00:12:37.000 Oh gosh!

00:12:39.000 Everything improved?

00:12:39.000 Efficiency went up?

00:12:40.000 Women are like, as a strike, we're just going to stay home. 1.00

00:12:43.000 And you're like, no problem.

00:12:45.000 Hey, if you don't mind making dinner today.

00:12:48.000 We're going to get banned for hate speech.

00:12:51.000 The stream's going to get shut down.

00:12:53.000 I'm not saying that women shouldn't work. 0.97

00:12:54.000 I'm just saying if they care about racism, they might want to consider that option.

00:12:58.000 That sounds like a great option.

00:12:59.000 The funny thing about that is people aren't working, man.

00:13:04.000 Businesses are shut down, they're permanently closed.

00:13:05.000 If you do have a job, this probably isn't the time to be making crazy... I think the way they see it is, now is the chance to finish off the beast.

00:13:15.000 Everybody's laid off, so there's only a few people working at McDonald's and the grocery store and stuff.

00:13:21.000 So get them to go on strike and there's nothing left.

00:13:24.000 Maybe that's the general political idea to it.

00:13:27.000 Dude, all that stuff is like, everyone's not like a 20-year-old activist.

00:13:31.000 Just telling some normal guys, like 50 years old, he's got a family.

00:13:34.000 You're like, yo, you're going to not go to work anymore for the next week.

00:13:38.000 You're like, oh, we got a whole thing going on at the university.

00:13:38.000 And you're like, why?

00:13:41.000 He's like, what are you talking about?

00:13:43.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:13:44.000 My gender studies teacher said it would be a good idea. 0.79

00:13:46.000 And he's like, I got to pay my kids tuition.

00:13:50.000 Yeah, but that really is it.

00:13:53.000 So check this out.

00:13:53.000 So we know all this is going on, but now we got to get to the best part.

00:13:57.000 Yahoo Sports.

00:13:59.000 Players Association in active talks with players about logistics of potentially boycotting games.

00:14:03.000 So this happened earlier this morning.

00:14:05.000 I'm reading this article.

00:14:07.000 I started laughing.

00:14:08.000 There's no way this is real.

00:14:09.000 Check this out.

00:14:10.000 They say, an assembly organized by players who are emotionally traumatized by the latest police-involved shooting of an African-American that was captured on video was held Tuesday night at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, sources said, and there were multiple conversations about what the actions could be taken throughout the day.

00:14:28.000 So the first thing that happens is I'm talking to my friends and I'm like, do you hear about these NBA players who are traumatized?

00:14:31.000 And they're like, I can't talk.

00:14:32.000 I'm too emotionally traumatized.

00:14:34.000 Yeah, they're crying.

00:14:35.000 I called them up and they were like, I can't process this.

00:14:37.000 I was actually emotionally traumatized because I watched a WNBA game.

00:14:41.000 Ryan came in and when he first came here, I mentioned what happened and he broke down.

00:14:46.000 I just said, hold me.

00:14:50.000 No, but in all seriousness.

00:14:50.000 The only thing that will help if I can watch you do some sick nollies at a skate park in the backyard.

00:14:57.000 Bring the sports back.

00:14:58.000 If you could shred some gnar for me, Tim, it would really make me feel better.

00:15:02.000 And that's when I started crying because I'm traumatized.

00:15:04.000 No, no, so I did.

00:15:06.000 I sent it to my friend, and they didn't believe it.

00:15:09.000 Like, I didn't believe it either, and I sent a screenshot of where it said, the players who are emotionally traumatized, and they're like, this is like an onion, right?

00:15:15.000 Yeah.

00:15:16.000 No, it's not the onion.

00:15:18.000 Check this out, it gets even better.

00:15:19.000 My favorite part.

00:15:20.000 I have no idea what they were thinking when they wrote this.

00:15:26.000 Okay, I gotta give everybody a warning.

00:15:28.000 This is quite literally on Yahoo Sports' website.

00:15:31.000 This is real.

00:15:32.000 Athletes aren't immune to being racially profiled.

00:15:35.000 Sources said, as a tactic to avoid being pulled over, a few players have purchased Teslas, believing that police wouldn't suspect a black man to be operating that vehicle.

00:15:46.000 Now, the reason why the first thing I saw there was, it sounds like some rich dude.

00:15:51.000 It's like, oh, they're like, you bought a Tesla?

00:15:54.000 That's kind of expensive, don't you think?

00:15:56.000 Shouldn't you buy a normal car?

00:15:57.000 Well, it's because the police wouldn't profile me in it.

00:16:04.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:16:05.000 So, like, their accountant is like, I don't know how you're justifying this $50,000 car.

00:16:11.000 Black Lives Matter?

00:16:13.000 How can we write this off?

00:16:15.000 Call it a security expense.

00:16:17.000 Also, like, LeBron James, like, a Tesla's gotta be a drop in the pan for these people.

00:16:22.000 I needed a fancy car.

00:16:24.000 It's like Tesla's are like what, like 50 grand?

00:16:26.000 It's like you get a Ferrari if you want, LeBron James.

00:16:29.000 He's like, because of racism I had to drop this insane amount of money on a car.

00:16:33.000 I'm like, you can buy a fleet of Teslas.

00:16:35.000 What's kind of crazy about it though is, I think that straight up is racist.

00:16:39.000 The fact that this idea exists that a cop is going to not pull over a Tesla because,

00:16:45.000 like, this is the world they live in and it kind of freaks me out.

00:16:48.000 They really think the cops are, like, in their cars, going like, Let's find the minorities! 0.99

00:16:55.000 And then, like, they see a car drive by, and like, There's one!

00:16:57.000 Go after them!

00:16:58.000 It doesn't matter what your car is.

00:16:59.000 In fact, a Tesla's more likely to get pulled over.

00:17:02.000 It might be less likely to get pulled over than a Honda Civic with souped up rims and just lowered black lights.

00:17:12.000 Nine guys in the backseat.

00:17:16.000 Flashy cars get pulled over more.

00:17:18.000 You want to get a grey Civic and then you don't get pulled over.

00:17:21.000 Get a Honda Accord.

00:17:23.000 It's also crazy this idea that these guys think the cops can't look through windows.

00:17:28.000 Yeah.

00:17:28.000 Like you sit in a Tesla and all of a sudden the cops are like, I can't see.

00:17:31.000 What's wrong?

00:17:31.000 But I think it's nuts that they view this world that way.

00:17:36.000 Dude, the fact that LeBron James said that he's like, listen, I get the sentiment,

00:17:41.000 but for LeBron James personally to be like, yo, I'm afraid for my life personally.

00:17:44.000 It's like, you're not though.

00:17:46.000 Like LeBron James comes out of his house and he's like, yo, that great basketball game.

00:17:50.000 Now I have to walk to my car and fear for my life.

00:17:53.000 And you're like, yeah, I think you're going to be fine. 0.99

00:17:55.000 You're a seven foot tall, like the cops pull him over and they wouldn't say like, yeah, you're a black guy. 0.97

00:18:00.000 That's where you pulled over. 0.83

00:18:00.000 They go, yo, are you LeBron James? 0.83

00:18:02.000 Yeah, I know.

00:18:02.000 Seriously.

00:18:03.000 They know who you are.

00:18:04.000 Yeah.

00:18:04.000 Especially like he's probably got a driver.

00:18:07.000 Yeah.

00:18:07.000 He's probably got a driver.

00:18:08.000 I'm sure he drives himself.

00:18:10.000 He gets pulled over in his very fancy car and I'm sure it's fine.

00:18:15.000 One of the craziest things about this whole narrative they've had, there was a viral commercial where it was like the talk.

00:18:21.000 This is what freaks me out because I grew up on the south side of Chicago and I talked to my progressive friends and they really believe that parents shouldn't tell their kids how to act around police and even firefighters or EMTs.

00:18:33.000 It's not their job to educate their kids.

00:18:36.000 But what world do they live in?

00:18:38.000 No, it's serious.

00:18:39.000 I see these stories.

00:18:41.000 It's no wonder you get these super entitled college students.

00:18:45.000 Have you seen that video in New York during the riots, where this woman is screaming at the cops in their face, and they keep saying, move, get back, and she goes, R, effing what?

00:18:55.000 And then the cop goes, she's coming, and he grabs her, and she goes, no, no, ah, and starts calling to her friends.

00:19:00.000 That's the classic move.

00:19:02.000 Cause she's never been told like, here's how you appropriately deal in like these circumstances.

00:19:07.000 I mean, listen, I was like a troublemaker growing up and I've had run-ins with the cops and I'm not like some pro cop guy, but also like I've had times where a cop beat me up.

00:19:17.000 I've, you know, been tons of nights in the drunk tank and all that stuff, but I never really, like, it still sucked.

00:19:22.000 And I, you know, I was like, cops are kind of losers, but I didn't come out of it being like, I was innocent completely.

00:19:28.000 And I'm not saying everyone else isn't, but most of the times that I did it, I looked back and I was like, yeah, I was a little out of hand that night.

00:19:35.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:19:36.000 But, you know, I grew up and everybody I know in my neighborhood was told, like, hey man, when you get pulled over, here's what you gotta do.

00:19:44.000 You turn the engine off, take the keys out, put them on the dash, put your wallet on the dash, turn the radio down, turn the dome light on, put your hands on the wheel, and wait for the officer to walk up.

00:19:52.000 And then when he asks for your ID, it's right there in front of you.

00:19:54.000 And you do that just to make sure everybody feels safe and secure.

00:19:58.000 It's like these progressives act like I was told put on F the police full blast and stare at him without blinking and hold your and hold your hand in your shirt as he walks up and give him a look.

00:20:09.000 No, don't do that.

00:20:10.000 Don't do anything like that.

00:20:11.000 I've had some wild caught but like You know it's this the problem is it's with all this stuff is they shove it down your face so much and then the times when they when they're actually like all the cops are wrong there it's hard to defend because you just it's like when they're like everyone's racist everyone's racist then you there actually is one you're like I'm just done hearing about people being racist yeah but I've had this is the one that always makes me laugh there's when at my old house in Toronto these cops are

00:20:32.000 Busted into our house in the middle of the night.

00:20:34.000 This is at like 3 a.m.

00:20:36.000 They knocked down the door and came in.

00:20:37.000 They had guns.

00:20:38.000 There was like five or six of them.

00:20:39.000 Came in with guns.

00:20:40.000 Bust down the door.

00:20:41.000 They started flipping our mattresses.

00:20:43.000 They go, everyone cuffed up.

00:20:44.000 And there was girls there too. 0.75

00:20:45.000 So they put the girls. 0.99

00:20:46.000 They're all crying like, you know, they're like, you know, 20 year old girls.

00:20:49.000 Like, who are you people?

00:20:51.000 You know, so anyways, they bring us out on the thing, make us sit there, it's like winter, and then eventually, when this all's said and done, they're like, who's so-and-so?

00:20:58.000 And we're like, none of us.

00:20:59.000 And then they were going, is this not 5 Ab Street?

00:21:02.000 And they're like, oh, they were at the wrong house. 0.99

00:21:05.000 Damn. 0.99

00:21:06.000 This is for real. 1.00

00:21:07.000 And then nothing happens.

00:21:08.000 They turned our house upside down.

00:21:09.000 Then they just go, all right, well, good.

00:21:11.000 You better not have any guns.

00:21:13.000 They just sort of move on to the next house.

00:21:14.000 You're like, you know, it's not like cops are always in the right.

00:21:17.000 No, and I think, I mean, so you're talking about Canada, though, right?

00:21:22.000 Yeah, I mean, cops are probably worse here than Canada, don't you think?

00:21:25.000 Yeah.

00:21:25.000 But that story was in Toronto?

00:21:26.000 Yeah.

00:21:26.000 I mean, the 6 is the hood.

00:21:28.000 I mean, you wouldn't last a day there.

00:21:29.000 It's a real tough place.

00:21:30.000 Oh, right.

00:21:31.000 No, you grew up in Chicago.

00:21:32.000 I had a place near what used to be called Comiskey Park.

00:21:37.000 Now it's U.S.

00:21:37.000 Cellular Field in Chicago.

00:21:38.000 It's where the White Sox play.

00:21:40.000 And one day, me and my friends, we were playing GTA, and the cops just kick our door in.

00:21:44.000 And they come up with their guns out, and they're screaming.

00:21:47.000 It's been so long, but they were like, where's Jimmy?

00:21:49.000 Or something like that.

00:21:51.000 And the three of us are just like, who?

00:21:53.000 And he's like, where's Jimmy?

00:21:54.000 It's like me and two of my friends.

00:21:55.000 No one's name is Jimmy.

00:21:57.000 And then they walked to the house looking around and we were like, we moved in two months ago.

00:22:02.000 And they were like, oh, and they leave.

00:22:05.000 Oh my God.

00:22:05.000 Like that should be pretty high on the checklist before you break a door down is make sure we got the right one.

00:22:10.000 Well, they did.

00:22:11.000 It was the right address.

00:22:12.000 Oh, it was the right address.

00:22:13.000 But whoever they were looking for didn't live there anymore.

00:22:15.000 And so these cops, no warrant, nothing, I guess they were looking for some guy.

00:22:20.000 Chicago's got cop problems, man.

00:22:21.000 They were looking for LeBron James.

00:22:22.000 That's probably what they were doing.

00:22:23.000 They saw a Tesla out front and they knew.

00:22:26.000 Yeah, imagine LeBron James had a really good point because the cops are legitimately like, yo, wouldn't it be funny to pull LeBron over once a week?

00:22:33.000 And then he's like, I'm telling you, these cops are after me!

00:22:35.000 And they're like, oh LeBron James, the cops are here to get you!

00:22:38.000 And he's like, I swear, it's a conspiracy.

00:22:41.000 And then one of his managers is talking to somebody and he's like, I'm telling you, there's cops!

00:22:46.000 And then the manager's like, he's just, you know, he's alone.

00:22:48.000 Yeah, they're everywhere.

00:22:49.000 Oh, 5-0 LeBron!

00:22:52.000 But you know what's funny?

00:22:54.000 You're making a joke.

00:22:56.000 But that's exactly what it sounds like they're saying.

00:22:57.000 Yeah, it's not that far off.

00:22:59.000 Yeah, man.

00:23:00.000 So I wonder if this is offensive enough that YouTube's gonna be like, let's turn this one off.

00:23:04.000 Oh, this video?

00:23:06.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:23:07.000 Really?

00:23:07.000 This is... YouTube is nuts, man.

00:23:09.000 The censorship is getting crazy.

00:23:11.000 Yeah, they were hard on... I told you I did this stock market video.

00:23:14.000 Yeah.

00:23:14.000 You know how it's like you never know what they're gonna get you for?

00:23:17.000 You're always like, oh, this one's a little crazy, and then nothing, and then they get you for something and you're like, what?

00:23:21.000 That was nothing.

00:23:23.000 Oh, dude.

00:23:23.000 I have videos where it's like...

00:23:25.000 I was talking about Joe Biden.

00:23:27.000 Yeah.

00:23:27.000 Joe Biden gets accused by these women of, you know, being a little touchy-feely with him.

00:23:31.000 And it's like this big scandal.

00:23:33.000 And I'm like, Joe Biden did this.

00:23:34.000 He did that.

00:23:35.000 And they're like, all good.

00:23:36.000 Yeah.

00:23:36.000 And then I do a video about like a TV show and they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:23:40.000 You can't talk about sex and stuff like that.

00:23:43.000 What are you? 0.55

00:23:43.000 And then it's the craziest thing to me. 0.55

00:23:46.000 I can I do a segment and it's like they have this thing called self-certification on YouTube where you choose does disappear in your video.

00:23:52.000 I did that too.

00:23:53.000 Yeah, and so I'll be like, it's serious topical analysis, there's nothing too crazy.

00:23:57.000 I don't show, you know, graphic image or anything like that.

00:24:00.000 And I have no idea, no idea why.

00:24:03.000 Some videos are good, some are bad.

00:24:05.000 And so I'm constantly in talks with Google, and I'm like, okay, let me get this straight.

00:24:08.000 Like, this video right here is good, and it's a story where I'm talking about a guy who took a bullet in the chest and then dropped dead.

00:24:14.000 Another guy who got a bullet to the head.

00:24:16.000 That's okay, and we're showing the guy with the gun, just not any graphic imagery, yes.

00:24:19.000 Okay, now this one, I talked about Kamala Harris running with Joe Biden, and you flagged that as hate speech.

00:24:25.000 That one's offensive, that one's gotta go.

00:24:28.000 And then the video where you're yelling the N-word for two hours straight.

00:24:33.000 But the crazy thing is, you actually can say and use slurs on YouTube, so long as it's not directed at... Yeah, I guess so, right?

00:24:41.000 But they will throttle you, they'll demonetize you, they just... They don't love it.

00:24:45.000 They won't ban you for doing it?

00:24:47.000 They're like, yo, it's chill, but like, you know, we don't love it.

00:24:50.000 We totally get it, man.

00:24:51.000 You know, it's cool.

00:24:52.000 Like, do your thing, but just, you know, like, we're not gonna tell the neighbors about it.

00:24:55.000 But yeah, yeah, so, so, uh, you've got, you've got the woke racist video.

00:24:59.000 Yeah.

00:24:59.000 The two guys wearing shirts, one guy's woke, one guy's, they believe the exact same things.

00:25:03.000 Yeah.

00:25:04.000 And that one you didn't have any problems with?

00:25:05.000 No, that didn't get censored everywhere.

00:25:07.000 But I've had lots of stuff censored over the years, but I just thought it was funny that I did the stock market.

00:25:12.000 Like basically the premise was like the stock market's kind of overvalued.

00:25:15.000 It was like not even anything crazy.

00:25:17.000 It got censored everywhere.

00:25:19.000 That's so weird.

00:25:20.000 Dude, like TikTok took it down twice, then it got like demonetized, and then it got like the thing on Twitter that says, you know, it has shocking content or whatever.

00:25:30.000 Wow.

00:25:30.000 So wait, wait, explain what the video is.

00:25:32.000 Like what's the premise of this of the sketch?

00:25:34.000 Basically, it's the economy and the stock market and the economy is like a bro partying like oh, yeah This is never gonna end and the economy is like we're very sick Yeah, like maybe you're sick like success is just a state of mind.

00:25:48.000 He's looking at Gary V's Maybe it's a Siamese twin.

00:25:51.000 It's actually offensive is it I didn't even say Siamese I said conjoined conjoined conjoined.

00:25:55.000 Yeah, cuz I know that's a big problem, right?

00:25:56.000 Yeah, what is it?

00:25:57.000 Why do we call it Siamese?

00:25:58.000 It was because there was like two famous people who were Siamese, right?

00:26:01.000 I think so.

00:26:01.000 So I think it was because it was like a circus act The guy who started the circus tweeted something bad in 1842.

00:26:12.000 He chiseled something into a tablet that is now considered racist.

00:26:17.000 I don't think... Siam doesn't exist.

00:26:21.000 It's Burma.

00:26:22.000 Maybe it's that, but it's hard.

00:26:26.000 You use the name of a country that's no longer in existence, therefore... I think it's hilarious that you made a video It makes the conspiracy theory alarm bells start going crazy.

00:26:37.000 Yeah, there's definitely a lot of conspiracy theory alarm bells that kind of go off on all that stuff.

00:26:40.000 But the funny thing that, I think I was kind of saying this to you before, but the funny thing about satire is how these places decide what they can put on and what they don't, is they transcribe, correct me if I'm wrong, because you probably know more than this than me, but they transcribe what's happened in the video.

00:26:56.000 On YouTube.

00:26:57.000 Yeah, right?

00:26:58.000 Partly, yeah.

00:26:59.000 It's a text and then they flag certain phrases and words and stuff like that, right?

00:27:03.000 They can actually visualize the text.

00:27:06.000 So like, if you do a thumbnail that says, I don't know, like a racial slur, it can break the image down and detect the text in the image.

00:27:14.000 Right.

00:27:15.000 But also, the words you say, there's actually, I think it was... So you can't just do the white power sign willy nilly anymore. 0.58

00:27:21.000 Oh yeah, they'll find out and it'll translate the text.

00:27:24.000 I think it was Keemstar.

00:27:25.000 He said a word that I'm going to be very careful and enunciate very, very carefully.

00:27:30.000 It starts with E, then there's a hyphen, and the word girl.

00:27:35.000 And the reason why I separated that in that way is because YouTube recognizes that word as basically one of the N words.

00:27:44.000 Really?

00:27:45.000 E-girl.

00:27:46.000 Say it fast.

00:27:47.000 And the translator said, A word you can't say, and he got demonetized.

00:27:52.000 Yeah, so a lot of people don't realize, sometimes the demonetization is because the computer doesn't differentiate between similar sounding words.

00:28:00.000 You know, like... I was thinking about this a while ago, because I was... I can't remember, I was at a French restaurant or something, and I was thinking about the similarities... Were you bragging?

00:28:11.000 Oh yes, that's right, we had escargot.

00:28:13.000 No, it was literally like some New York, you know, French-themed restaurant.

00:28:17.000 Pierre is poutines.

00:28:18.000 Yes.

00:28:19.000 Poutines.

00:28:20.000 That's Canada.

00:28:21.000 Get out of here.

00:28:23.000 No, but I was thinking about how, like, if you spoke very quickly, you could, you're priming yourself to someone else, like to someone who doesn't speak English, in a very weird way.

00:28:31.000 Like if you said, Mr. and my sister, like, a person who doesn't speak English might not realize Mr. is a dude and my sister, they might hear the same thing.

00:28:40.000 Yeah, like my ex, I was saying, I think we should break up, and she heard, I'm going to stay here for another two years.

00:28:46.000 Exactly the same.

00:28:47.000 There's always these linguistic problems when you speak quick.

00:28:49.000 But YouTube mangles up what you say, because we talk fast, and then all of a sudden you're... So maybe what happens is you're talking about the stock market, and like, have you looked at the tax?

00:28:59.000 It's all like a bunch of what?

00:29:00.000 I said, is this, you know, is real?

00:29:03.000 And they were like, oh, stock market is real?

00:29:06.000 Okay, we know what's going on here.

00:29:07.000 Loud and clear.

00:29:08.000 Get him out of here.

00:29:09.000 I've been willing to bet- I'm talking about the Federal Reserve and I accidentally say Israel. 0.94

00:29:14.000 You're gonna get- Look, look, look, look.

00:29:16.000 I'm willing to bet a lot of conspiracy theorists are going like- You talk about the Fed, you talk about the stock market, they shut you down.

00:29:26.000 You know what's funny?

00:29:28.000 It has come up.

00:29:30.000 People talk about censorship of conservatives a lot on social media, and it's real, but it's not so much that it's conservatives, it's anti-establishment orthodoxy.

00:29:41.000 I would agree, yeah.

00:29:41.000 So conservatives, for the most part, are the ones, especially Trump supporters, so they see the most of it, but there are leftists, like anti-war, anti-establishment, who do get censorship sometimes, but for the most part, the establishment orthodoxy of the left is typically okay.

00:29:55.000 And that was another thing you were bringing up earlier that I thought was really fascinating, that you mentioned YouTube can't detect satire.

00:30:01.000 Yeah, so that's what I was going to say.

00:30:05.000 That's one of the reasons why people will do videos being like, oh, I'm like a Q guy, right?

00:30:10.000 And then you say all this stuff.

00:30:11.000 You're like, oh, Trump's doing this and he's the pedophile rings and hydroxychloro and whatever, whatever.

00:30:17.000 I don't know.

00:30:18.000 I'm sure people on the internet are like, that's not what they think.

00:30:20.000 I don't know.

00:30:21.000 If you say like, oh, I'm going to make fun of like the far right or something.

00:30:24.000 Yep.

00:30:24.000 Good to go.

00:30:24.000 say all their talking points, then YouTube goes like, you're not allowed to say that

00:30:27.000 stuff, take it down.

00:30:28.000 But if I come on and I'm kind of like, oh, there's 75 genders and whatever, right?

00:30:33.000 They take that phrase and they're like, 75 genders. 0.94

00:30:35.000 We see no problem with that.

00:30:36.000 You go, yeah, because you're making fun of it, but they can't tell the sarcasm.

00:30:40.000 So they're making fun.

00:30:42.000 So so I, you were telling me that earlier and I was like, that's really sad to say everything

00:30:46.000 sarcastically and wink.

00:30:48.000 Right, right, right.

00:30:48.000 Women are equal to men!

00:30:52.000 And YouTube's going to translate that, and the computer's going to see it as a literal statement.

00:30:57.000 Yeah, and they're going to say, this guy's bang on, dude.

00:31:00.000 Throw this MF in the algorithm.

00:31:02.000 He's boom!

00:31:03.000 Truth bombs on this channel!

00:31:06.000 Have you seen what happened at this bookstore?

00:31:09.000 This is hilarious.

00:31:09.000 Do you know Titanium McGrath?

00:31:11.000 Yes.

00:31:12.000 So they did a display of all of these woke books, and one of the books they put on the pedestal was Woke by Titanium McGrath, Andrew Doyle's satire project.

00:31:22.000 And so you have like, you know, white fragility and like, you know, white whatever. 0.91

00:31:26.000 And then there's woke.

00:31:28.000 And it's indistinguishable.

00:31:32.000 It's hard for me to get out.

00:31:33.000 It's just, it's indistinguishable.

00:31:34.000 He constantly does articles where they, you know, basically prove his article.

00:31:39.000 Dude, I've had a few of those where like, I made jokes and stuff.

00:31:41.000 And then the next day, you're like, yeah, no, that's, that's what they're doing for real.

00:31:44.000 Dude, how many how many times has like the Babylon Bee or the Onion come true now?

00:31:48.000 Dude, it's it's like they're predicting the future at this point.

00:31:50.000 I'm going to need to stop writing some of these articles.

00:31:52.000 Yeah, nonsense.

00:31:54.000 Some of it's getting like creepy predictable.

00:31:57.000 But man, there was one thing that always made me laugh just because I also bring it up because you worked at Vice.

00:32:05.000 But because I kind of hit them hard.

00:32:07.000 And but I did an article.

00:32:09.000 There's this girl that got fired from Vice. 1.00

00:32:10.000 And she was like, really mad.

00:32:10.000 Right.

00:32:12.000 Like, they're getting rid of, I'm the only person speaking for

00:32:14.000 trans people, but like the answer is like, no one's reading these articles

00:32:18.000 because right. 1.00

00:32:18.000 Garbage. 1.00

00:32:19.000 And it was all like, you know, why men are cutting off their penises in 1.00

00:32:22.000 solidarity when they're not even sure what she was really writing dead serious. 0.57

00:32:25.000 So basically I used half of the vice articles and half ones I made, made up

00:32:30.000 and no, no one could tell the difference.

00:32:32.000 Like, you know, why animals are actually trans and there's all this kind of stuff.

00:32:36.000 Yeah.

00:32:37.000 But when I was, uh, I kind of go hard on them too, because I remember when I was, this is when I was in Canada, I did, they kind of came to Canada and they're like, Oh, we're going to spend, they made this big venture deal and kind of said we were going to spend money and then didn't really.

00:32:48.000 But I was in a meeting with the guy and he said for me verbatim, we were, I was talking about like the show about some guys in bands and stuff like that.

00:32:54.000 And he's like, We're trying to do stuff with things like refugees, like stuff that's hot right now. 0.99

00:32:59.000 Whoa! 0.71

00:32:59.000 Dude, the guy at Vice looked me in the eyes and said we want to do refugees because they're hot right now. 0.71

00:33:04.000 For like, for what?

00:33:06.000 Like entertainment content?

00:33:07.000 Yeah, like we want articles and shows about refugees because that's what's up right now and I never forget that.

00:33:13.000 I've got similar stories, man.

00:33:14.000 I worked for one company where I was talking to one of the higher-ups.

00:33:19.000 They were really confused about the direction of the company.

00:33:23.000 Because when the editor-in-chief was asked by, like, their salespeople, what's the mission of our media outlet?

00:33:28.000 He goes, gender. 0.86

00:33:31.000 I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, it's not an exaggeration, I am not making a joke.

00:33:34.000 Like, I'm a serious guy.

00:33:36.000 And they were like, huh?

00:33:37.000 And he goes, that's our whole thing for next year.

00:33:39.000 And they were like, okay.

00:33:42.000 Then he said, what is it good for?

00:33:45.000 I'm like, could you imagine, dude, like Vice walking up to you and being like, we're really interested in like Refugees for entertainment like yeah, what and you're like, what about him?

00:33:54.000 It's like You got any jokes.

00:33:57.000 Yeah.

00:33:58.000 Well, I was saying that I was like because it was a show about bands and stuff and I'm like What am I gonna do the refu BG's with their new hit song staying alive?

00:34:05.000 Dude Dude, it's wild, yeah.

00:34:11.000 But there's also this funny thing in entertainment that, one comedy especially, like there's this weird thing where some people think that if you're, you know, some people have the idea that certain groups you're not supposed to make jokes about, you know what I mean?

00:34:23.000 It's kind of like, but you go, imagine you were in a group of friends where it's like, you can talk about him, but like, don't talk about, you know, don't make jokes about James or whatever.

00:34:29.000 And James is like, Yo, dude, I'm not really in the group if we can't talk, you know, and I've always said that when you do stand-up, you actually look at people that make fun of everyone.

00:34:39.000 Everyone kind of leaves like a pressure release and they feel better.

00:34:42.000 Obviously, if there's like a guy in a wheelchair and you rail on him non-stop, but if you just treat him like everyone else, people actually like that way better. 0.99

00:34:48.000 But when you kind of set those tones, it puts in a weird situation, especially, this is why there's all these conflicting agendas, because they go, diversity is really good and we need like diversity in sketches, right?

00:34:57.000 But a lot of sketch comedy, you're making fun of the thing, right?

00:35:00.000 So they're like, you need women and trans people in sketches.

00:35:03.000 Also, you can't make fun of them.

00:35:05.000 And you go, so what?

00:35:06.000 Like my comedy sketches just have to have like, you know, Indian trans people that are the heroes.

00:35:10.000 And like, that's not really, And so there's no joke?

00:35:14.000 I'm fine with pudding.

00:35:15.000 So I always say it's funny when they ever go, like, there needs to be more diversity and common.

00:35:19.000 You're like, loud and clear.

00:35:20.000 Lots of black guys. 0.99

00:35:22.000 Black comics kick, you know, they're very funny, right? 1.00

00:35:25.000 Have you ever seen like an actual woke comedy set?

00:35:29.000 A woke comedy set?

00:35:31.000 That's majority of comedy right now.

00:35:33.000 Really?

00:35:33.000 You think so?

00:35:34.000 There's no... I mean, if you turn on Netflix, I mean... For sure, right, right, right.

00:35:37.000 But I mean, like, you've got, I don't know, Amy Schumer, would that qualify?

00:35:43.000 I mean, Amy Schumer, she's more like Hollywood woke, where you get really famous, and then you kind of go, oh, that offensive stuff I was doing before was a character, but actually I'm part of the good guys.

00:35:53.000 That's more like the, let me keep my famous guy spot, you're kind of like, How do I stay famous?

00:35:57.000 What do I have to say?

00:36:00.000 Give me the list.

00:36:02.000 The funny part is, if you go to Brooklyn or whatever, there's a whole genre of comedy where they're coming out and they'll be like, my dad doesn't even think that gender exists and Trump's so orange.

00:36:16.000 No, go ahead.

00:36:16.000 Yeah, they're just it's they're using all the buzzwords, right?

00:36:20.000 Like whether gender and non-binary and all this stuff.

00:36:23.000 But you go to the problem is you go outside of any like Metropolitan's little pocket of those people.

00:36:30.000 And no one knows what you're talking about.

00:36:31.000 Yeah, it's it's it's it's it's crazy.

00:36:33.000 They've created I think it's social media.

00:36:36.000 They've created this microscopic bubble.

00:36:38.000 It's it's I mean, it's decently large.

00:36:40.000 It's probably millions of people.

00:36:41.000 But also has like the industry power.

00:36:44.000 And yeah.

00:36:45.000 So you get these people who are saying things that make literally no sense to anybody.

00:36:48.000 Regular people.

00:36:49.000 They go, oh, I'm sorry that I'm not part of your heteronormative thing.

00:36:52.000 And they're like, we're not against that.

00:36:54.000 We don't know what you're talking about.

00:36:55.000 Yeah, what is that?

00:36:57.000 Is that like a science term or something?

00:36:58.000 And then they say, it's not my job to educate you.

00:37:00.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:37:01.000 But the kind of idea is those people.

00:37:03.000 And then I feel like the problem is you see them online, and then a lot of these people will see comedy people like me or whatever, and they'll go, Oh, sorry that you can't just make your like racist jokes anymore.

00:37:13.000 Oh, that the world doesn't want to hear that comedy.

00:37:17.000 And you go, they actually do though.

00:37:19.000 It's like, you know, I do like people and you go, I'm like, I'll bury you in front of your fans in a comedy club.

00:37:24.000 Like, I don't know who you like, they think comedy isn't real.

00:37:26.000 But so the problem is most of the world are just normal people.

00:37:30.000 They go to comedy clubs and they laugh and they're like, yeah, like make fun of everyone that's hilarious.

00:37:34.000 And then there's this sect of the internet that controls a lot of power that goes, We're gonna add a third rung to this where it's like there's a contract between you and the audience.

00:37:43.000 The audience laughs.

00:37:44.000 We're gonna watch it after. 1.00

00:37:46.000 We're gonna watch it after the fact and be like, yeah, well, they're stupid. 1.00

00:37:49.000 They shouldn't be watching. 1.00

00:37:50.000 Shouldn't be laughing.

00:37:51.000 You're wrong for doing those jokes.

00:37:52.000 And you're like, what's the problem?

00:37:53.000 Everyone had a good time.

00:37:54.000 And you're like, well, they shouldn't be having a good time.

00:37:57.000 Do they think like, The people in the audience are part, it's like they're part of the act. 1.00

00:38:02.000 He thinks they're too stupid. 1.00

00:38:03.000 They don't know what's best for them. 1.00

00:38:05.000 I watched the special, I think it was from Vice, about a woke comic, and they explained that the best way to be woke and do comedy is to make fun of yourself.

00:38:13.000 And so it was like really, like self-deprecating humor is fine, like Rodney Dangerfield was like legit, that dude ragged on himself endlessly and it was funny.

00:38:21.000 But some of this is just kind of, like, it's really bad.

00:38:23.000 Oh, it's a depression off, yeah.

00:38:25.000 Yeah, seriously.

00:38:26.000 But I mean, yeah, if you take every other target off the table, I mean... That's all that's left is you.

00:38:30.000 But I, yeah, I mean, I think that those woke comics have, like, I don't think there's a shortage of them being like, oh, I'm sorry that a white man showed up!

00:38:37.000 Yeah.

00:38:37.000 Except for them to say that they're not, uh, hitting targets.

00:38:40.000 When I was watching this, you know what it felt like?

00:38:43.000 It felt like the audience and the comedian were doing a show for the cameras, like a Potemkin comedy show.

00:38:48.000 Yeah.

00:38:48.000 Where the journalists come in and they're like, so can woke comedy exist?

00:38:51.000 And they're like, yes.

00:38:53.000 And the comic is like, hello friends, here's a joke. 0.92

00:38:57.000 I'm ugly.

00:38:57.000 And they go, yay.

00:38:59.000 Don't laugh too hard, though.

00:39:02.000 Jazz hands, please.

00:39:03.000 Yeah, it's a cosplay of a comedy show.

00:39:06.000 But they want people to think it's real comedy.

00:39:08.000 You know what it really is?

00:39:09.000 I think, what did someone call it?

00:39:11.000 Clapter?

00:39:12.000 Yeah, of course.

00:39:13.000 And you know what the thing is about, like you do your thing and everyone does their thing.

00:39:16.000 If you guys want to go do like your kind of hipster thing or whatever and and pretend you know tell like you know there's there's bands that the guy rolls around on the ground while hitting a tambourine and that's a band and like I'm not saying they shouldn't be able to do that and I get like the hipster element of it.

00:39:31.000 But the problem is then to go and be like, oh, look at these bands playing chords, you know, so it's yeah, that's kind of what chords are offensive.

00:39:39.000 Yeah, I don't care what anyone does.

00:39:40.000 But it's like, once we get into conversations about who's allowed to do what, and you start being puritanical with these fringe beliefs, and that actually kind of hold a lot of institutional power, that's when you start to be like, alright, I was gonna be fine, let you do your thing.

00:39:54.000 But now you're telling me what to do.

00:39:55.000 So now we're kind of feel like we're at war.

00:39:56.000 So you did, you've done a bunch of these videos.

00:39:58.000 You got one recently left and right.

00:40:00.000 It's like a basketball, basketball team.

00:40:02.000 Like you're trying to pick teams.

00:40:04.000 Just describe it real quick.

00:40:04.000 Cause that, that was good too.

00:40:05.000 And then, well, this is what, um, I've kind of been saying this a lot.

00:40:09.000 It's like a lot of people on the internet really were for the most part, kind of apolitical, you know, to some degree they're like, I don't know.

00:40:16.000 Yeah.

00:40:16.000 Maybe I'm down for socialized healthcare, but I don't really like being told what to do.

00:40:21.000 Like I don't care if gay people would like, Most people, I would say there's a good 60% of people before people kind of came in and said, no, no, you got to pick a side, right? 0.81

00:40:28.000 You're on the side.

00:40:29.000 And then you go, and then most people are like, especially people that grew up in metropolitans are like, all right, I guess like I'm on the left or whatever, right?

00:40:36.000 And they're like, well, do you believe this, this and this?

00:40:38.000 And you're like, I don't know, that seems like a lot.

00:40:40.000 Do you believe this guy shouldn't be able to say this on the internet?

00:40:42.000 And they have this insane laundry list of things you need to believe.

00:40:46.000 And then if you don't believe them, they go, this guy's right wing.

00:40:49.000 And then eventually some people go, all right, whatever, then fine, I'm right wing.

00:40:53.000 Because some, you know, it's like everyone's doesn't have, like I'm, me and people like me and you think about this stuff probably more than other people because it's kind of, it's your job.

00:41:01.000 You're essentially like a, you know, we're social commentators for a living.

00:41:04.000 So you probably, and it probably even came, It probably took you a few years to sort of realize how to interface with like everyone yelling at you and telling you you're bad for saying this and you go what?

00:41:14.000 So I think for normal people they just get they think in terms of Socratic logic where everyone just yells at them and they're like if you don't think this you're on the right and they're going I guess I'm on the right then they go oh look at this he's on the right fire him and you're like well you're the one who pushed me over here and the left wing's kicking everyone out so they're like an exclusive club and they're basically saying Uh, if you want to be here, you need to be, like, VIP.

00:41:35.000 You need to have this much money a year.

00:41:36.000 Like, they're the exclusive club.

00:41:37.000 Black tie, suit.

00:41:38.000 You know, dress up for it.

00:41:38.000 Yeah.

00:41:39.000 Yeah.

00:41:40.000 And the right wing's taking recruits right now, right?

00:41:42.000 So they're like, everyone's in.

00:41:44.000 Everyone's in.

00:41:44.000 You know, they'll be like, oh, I have socialized.

00:41:46.000 I like socialized healthcare.

00:41:47.000 They're like, ah, whatever.

00:41:48.000 Get in here.

00:41:48.000 You know what I mean?

00:41:49.000 Come on in.

00:41:49.000 Yeah.

00:41:50.000 And they want- We'll argue about it.

00:41:51.000 Right?

00:41:52.000 So I feel like the way that they want to describe it is different because the truth is it's like they're the church and everyone's like the church like if you want to get into heaven this is the you know the left wing we're the good one right if you want to be part of the good guys the good guys then uh you got a list here's their commandments and then the bar down the street's like yo we're kind of just partying over here And then they're like, look, the devil's down the street.

00:42:12.000 And they're like, we're actually just drinking beers.

00:42:14.000 And then they're like, if you go there, you're either with the church or you're with the bar.

00:42:19.000 And everyone's like, dude, I just want to go to a comedy show and laugh with my friends without you scolding me.

00:42:23.000 And I think that's how most people see the world.

00:42:25.000 And I don't think a lot of these people realize how much people they're turning off by, you know, being puritanical.

00:42:32.000 So in this sketch, there's two guys, it's you and- Oh, were we supposed to talk about the sketch?

00:42:36.000 No, no, no, it's fine.

00:42:37.000 No, I'm just joking, I'm just joking.

00:42:38.000 So you're wearing, you're the left-wing guy, and the other dude's the right-wing guy.

00:42:41.000 Yeah.

00:42:42.000 And then you're basically screaming at them, and the one guy's like, I guess I'm on your team, and you're like, well, tell me 240 of your opinions or something.

00:42:48.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:42:49.000 The funny part, my favorite part is when the guy goes, I guess I'm on the right, and the right-wing guy leans over and goes, you see this thing that Donald Trump said about coronavirus?

00:42:56.000 It's kind of reasonable, right?

00:42:57.000 And you go, yeah, whatever.

00:42:58.000 But that really does feel like a lot of people being like, I guess I'll be on the right and then the right is like very like, I don't know, kind of like tame.

00:42:58.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:43:08.000 Hey, look at this meme from Trump.

00:43:08.000 Yeah.

00:43:09.000 And they're like, yeah, whatever.

00:43:10.000 Well, I even thought the like the response to these videos sometimes is so the microcosm of the actual video.

00:43:17.000 Like I made this video basically saying there's these three people that are like, OK, I'll be on the left.

00:43:22.000 The left wing's like, no, you got to be on the right.

00:43:23.000 Right.

00:43:24.000 I released this video and then everyone's kind of like, look at these like right wing people.

00:43:29.000 This is crazy.

00:43:30.000 There's a tiny group of, you know, radical kind of left-wing people with lots of followers that said, oh, as if, and everyone else, like every normal person from the right, the left was like, that's exactly how I see it.

00:43:42.000 And you know, you know, and then because normal people see themselves as one of the three players that's like, and the radicals see themselves, oh, you're making fun of me.

00:43:50.000 And you're like, well, interesting that you see yourself as the one yelling at people and not the normal person that just wants to play basketball.

00:43:57.000 Exactly.

00:43:57.000 So, I mean, that kind of says more about you than it does about the video, I think.

00:44:01.000 You think it's going to get better?

00:44:03.000 Because there's a lot of comedians that are... Joe Rogan, for instance.

00:44:07.000 I mean, not only does... I'm not familiar with him.

00:44:09.000 No?

00:44:09.000 Oh, well, he's a great comedian.

00:44:11.000 You should definitely check out his work.

00:44:12.000 Is that the UFC announcer guy?

00:44:14.000 Yeah.

00:44:14.000 Oh, OK.

00:44:15.000 He's funny.

00:44:16.000 But when I think about his podcast being so big, And he does conversations along with his comedy, and his comedy hits at both sides, and it's really funny.

00:44:24.000 Then you've got people like, I don't know if you're familiar with Jonathan Pai.

00:44:27.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:44:29.000 I saw his show, and it was one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.

00:44:32.000 It was amazing.

00:44:33.000 That dude's great.

00:44:33.000 And he was working with Andrew Doyle, who did Titanium McGrath.

00:44:35.000 So they hit it out of the park.

00:44:38.000 And you've also got Ricky Gervais.

00:44:40.000 You've got Dave Chappelle.

00:44:41.000 And they're willing to say, like, F you.

00:44:44.000 I'll be offensive.

00:44:45.000 Yeah.

00:44:45.000 So I wonder if that resilience Yeah.

00:44:48.000 among those high profile comedians is going to allow us to actually, well I guess you

00:44:52.000 can put it this way, will comedy save us from the insanity because regular people like you

00:44:55.000 said see themselves as the normal basketball players, not as a left wing guy.

00:45:00.000 I guess my question is are you optimistic or pessimistic about where this is going culturally?

00:45:04.000 It seemed like it was kind of dying down a little bit because the common thought has

00:45:09.000 already been lost.

00:45:10.000 So I was doing stand-up clubs every night and you kind of say things and you see I wasn't like you know saying like isn't this stuff crazy?

00:45:16.000 That's what I was kind of saying like five years ago and over the last three years it was kind of like oh yeah crazy woke stuff like everyone's kind of rolling their eyes at it already.

00:45:23.000 COVID bubbled it back up like crazy.

00:45:26.000 So as far as like the counterculture, it's strong, in the counterculture,

00:45:30.000 that is the, like the 10, 15 best comics in the world right now, in my opinion,

00:45:34.000 aren't part of the industry system.

00:45:35.000 And everyone kind of sees that.

00:45:37.000 They go, why when I watch this, it's crappy.

00:45:39.000 And when I watch the people that aren't endorsed, you're like, what Netflix does kind of, you know,

00:45:42.000 it's not to say that there isn't good people on these stations, but late night used to be

00:45:47.000 worse something, right?

00:45:48.000 Like you go, oh, this guy was on, you know, Colbert five times, like, oh my God.

00:45:51.000 Whereas now it's like, you have a friend that goes, yo, God, come check out these chicks, they're so hot. 1.00

00:45:55.000 And you're like, the first time you're like, well, that girl wasn't that hot.

00:45:58.000 Then like the five more times he keeps bringing twos around and you're like, all right, like,

00:46:01.000 I don't think I'm gonna listen to this guy's vouches anymore.

00:46:04.000 Yeah, so that's kind of what the industry's done, right?

00:46:06.000 And they're in this loop because it used to be, let's say you were like a record label, right?

00:46:13.000 And you had, you know, rock was happening when rap was popping off.

00:46:17.000 And you're like, we need to switch to that.

00:46:18.000 You could probably, you're going to be a little late because they're big boats and they take a long time to turn.

00:46:22.000 And maybe you fire everyone and get a new regime.

00:46:24.000 We're going to be a rap label now because we don't want to miss this big movement.

00:46:27.000 They usually do miss it.

00:46:28.000 That's why there's all these rapper millionaires.

00:46:30.000 But what happens with this stuff is if you went to these places now that have that culture, like Vice or whatever, and you go, hey, this stuff's kind of like drying up.

00:46:38.000 People hate it.

00:46:39.000 It's not doing good.

00:46:40.000 No one wants to watch it.

00:46:41.000 And then you go, so we want to switch.

00:46:44.000 And they go, you want to switch from helping the underprivileged?

00:46:47.000 So it's not like, oh, you don't want to be a rock and roll guy anymore.

00:46:50.000 It's like, what do you mean?

00:46:51.000 You're going to switch from being anti-racist?

00:46:53.000 Does that mean you want to be a Nazi?

00:46:55.000 Yeah, we're going to make an internal culture shift from fighting racism.

00:47:01.000 Like, what?

00:47:02.000 It's like, I'm on Twitter now. 0.98

00:47:04.000 My boss is a Nazi. 0.78

00:47:05.000 And the guy's like, okay, okay, okay, sorry, sorry, sorry. 0.94

00:47:08.000 I keep churning out articles about why trans people are awesome.

00:47:10.000 I'm so sorry.

00:47:11.000 I feel like the culture war is like...

00:47:15.000 I don't know, an anchor, I guess?

00:47:17.000 Yeah.

00:47:18.000 It latched onto all these industries, and it's dragging them down, and they can't do anything about it.

00:47:22.000 And they've created their own loops, too.

00:47:23.000 Like, a lot of these stations are funded by advertisers, right?

00:47:27.000 So, they go to the advertisers, like, Dove soap, like, this is the culture, like, you gotta be woke, right?

00:47:31.000 Dove's like, well, okay, we're woke, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:47:33.000 Yeah.

00:47:33.000 Posting the things, like, yo, women rule, or whatever, right?

00:47:36.000 And then, essentially, they go to buy stuff, and they're like, hey, we're gonna do an edgy program, and Dove's like, yo, we're not doing that, we're woke.

00:47:42.000 And they're like, well, you don't have to be woke.

00:47:43.000 They're like, you're the one that told us to be woke!

00:47:46.000 I know what's really going on with Dove soap.

00:47:48.000 Do you know the secret?

00:47:49.000 You brought up Dove, not me.

00:47:51.000 You know Dove launched that Real Beauty campaign. 0.55

00:47:54.000 It's a brilliant campaign.

00:47:55.000 Yeah, it's like the women are, you know, kind of overweight. 1.00

00:47:57.000 Not morbidly, but... I didn't see it that way, I just saw them as perfect, but interesting that's how you saw it.

00:48:03.000 Yeah, it is.

00:48:05.000 I saw them as delicious.

00:48:06.000 Do you know who owns Dove?

00:48:07.000 Funny.

00:48:09.000 My guess, if I had to pick, Richard Spencer.

00:48:13.000 Close.

00:48:14.000 Unilever.

00:48:15.000 Unilever owns Dove Soap.

00:48:17.000 What's Unilever?

00:48:18.000 It's just this massive conglomerate.

00:48:20.000 Major corporation owns a bunch of companies, so they own Dove.

00:48:23.000 They also own another company.

00:48:25.000 Ben & Jerry's.

00:48:28.000 That's a good conspiracy.

00:48:29.000 It's a great conspiracy.

00:48:30.000 But is it really a conspiracy?

00:48:32.000 I mean, think about it.

00:48:33.000 You're a dude who works at Unilever.

00:48:35.000 I mean, for real.

00:48:36.000 That's good stuff.

00:48:37.000 It's not even a conspiracy.

00:48:38.000 Think about it.

00:48:39.000 You're the guy who works at Unilever.

00:48:40.000 You're going through the books, and they're like, how can we improve?

00:48:43.000 They're like, we got a problem.

00:48:44.000 We're trying to get moms to eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's every night, and they don't want to because we got these commercials of all these super thin women, and they're like... 1.00

00:48:54.000 Boom! 0.99

00:48:55.000 Do the Dove commercials for women who are normal, even though they are overweight. 1.00

00:49:00.000 Again, I don't see it that way.

00:49:02.000 So, arguably it's a conspiracy, but I actually think it's more of a circumstance of the system.

00:49:11.000 I hope that's true, dude.

00:49:12.000 Like, if ever a document came out, like, dude, if you're from WikiLeaks and you're on this, if you could find an internal email being like, yo, let's do like a fat soap campaign.

00:49:23.000 I want it to be true.

00:49:24.000 I really do.

00:49:24.000 We need to sell more ice cream.

00:49:26.000 Yo, being chubby is awesome because we just acquired a pork grind company and we need to rocket ship this.

00:49:31.000 Dude, that'd be the best.

00:49:33.000 I'm not saying that there was like, I'm not saying I think there's a guy at Unilever going like, here's the plan.

00:49:39.000 I think it's very simple that it's a system.

00:49:41.000 They also acquired a shampoo commercial and that's why they've been telling girls they shouldn't shave their armpits.

00:49:46.000 Yeah, that makes sense.

00:49:47.000 Hey, why not?

00:49:48.000 Yeah, it makes perfect sense.

00:49:50.000 Sell 10% more shampoo, but they don't own the razors.

00:49:52.000 If they do, if they buy the razor company, they're going to be like, yeah, we were wrong, shave them.

00:49:55.000 Well, but here's the thing. 0.87

00:49:56.000 It's actually super feminist to shave them. 1.00

00:49:58.000 We were off on that.

00:49:59.000 We talk about Get Woke, Go Broke.

00:50:01.000 We started with the NBA story.

00:50:02.000 I actually think... I kind of brought this up.

00:50:05.000 I think what a lot of people miss is that there's Get Broke, Go Woke.

00:50:08.000 It's the inverse, right?

00:50:09.000 Like, you've heard of Get Woke, Go Broke.

00:50:10.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:50:10.000 They're like, there's only one way out of this.

00:50:12.000 Exactly.

00:50:13.000 Feminism. 1.00

00:50:14.000 Like, we're a bank.

00:50:16.000 Right.

00:50:16.000 But for real, dude.

00:50:19.000 You saw that Gillette Toxic Masculinity commercial?

00:50:21.000 Yeah.

00:50:21.000 Where it's like... I actually changed everything after watching that.

00:50:24.000 I was mid-beating my girlfriend.

00:50:29.000 You just had to stop.

00:50:30.000 I just go.

00:50:30.000 It's like, wow.

00:50:31.000 What?

00:50:32.000 What?

00:50:33.000 So this commercial was about toxic masculinity.

00:50:37.000 And it's basically, it's the epitome of bad advertising.

00:50:42.000 Yeah.

00:50:42.000 But it turns out a lot of people were like, oh, Gillette got woke, go broke.

00:50:46.000 They did this woke commercial.

00:50:47.000 They lose money.

00:50:47.000 And I'm like, they were losing money.

00:50:50.000 So they did the what commercial they didn't they didn't know what to do because sales were going down and they thought maybe this was part of the scramble.

00:50:58.000 Yeah.

00:50:58.000 So I think so one thing that was eating away at Gillette was something so drastic.

00:51:03.000 It just might work.

00:51:04.000 We're going to do something really drastic.

00:51:06.000 We're going to make a pro women commercial. 1.00

00:51:07.000 No, no, no.

00:51:09.000 It was anti-man.

00:51:10.000 Yeah.

00:51:10.000 No, I'm just kidding.

00:51:12.000 So, this whole thing's really, really funny, but because of, like, Dollar Shave Club and Harry's, cheaper razors delivered every month, they've been losing money.

00:51:19.000 So then all of a sudden this ad comes out where they're like, men, do better.

00:51:22.000 And they just pissed every guy off.

00:51:24.000 I mean, like, not every single one.

00:51:27.000 The woke feminist dudes were like, yeah, I'm a feminist. 1.00

00:51:31.000 They can't grow beards anyway.

00:51:32.000 I'm kidding.

00:51:33.000 I can't grow beards.

00:51:34.000 Oh, but a lot of them have beards, if you know what I mean.

00:51:36.000 Oh, yeah. 0.94

00:51:37.000 No, they're abusers. 0.74

00:51:40.000 I'm going to be careful of my language.

00:51:42.000 Do a blanket statement. 0.98

00:51:43.000 You're all abusers. 0.99

00:51:45.000 All of you. 0.99

00:51:46.000 You know the reset the clock meme, right?

00:51:48.000 Reset the clock?

00:51:49.000 Yeah, it's a meme. 1.00

00:51:51.000 Whenever a male feminist turns out to be a sexual abuser, reset the clock. 0.99

00:51:54.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.99

00:51:55.000 I did a video, absolve yourself by canceling others.

00:51:59.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:51:59.000 But it happens enough to where, you know, it's become a meme.

00:52:04.000 But the funny thing about Gillette and with NBA, I think what happens is they're losing money and they think, we're not with it anymore.

00:52:14.000 And it wasn't even them.

00:52:15.000 It's like their advertising agency would be like, trust me, we got the goods here.

00:52:19.000 What are you thinking?

00:52:21.000 It's just like an easel, and they just flip the page.

00:52:25.000 It's just men crossed out.

00:52:28.000 And they're like, but we sell razors to men. 0.87

00:52:30.000 That's the problem right there.

00:52:32.000 That's patriarchal thinking.

00:52:33.000 Yeah, you're not getting it.

00:52:34.000 Can we get someone in here who understands business?

00:52:39.000 Yeah, so they end up doing these ads, and it's a response in my opinion.

00:52:44.000 It's a desperation to be hip.

00:52:46.000 So you mentioned the advertisers, because I've experienced this too.

00:52:50.000 I mentioned that company, right?

00:52:51.000 I worked for this media company, and a lot of people know it was Fusion.

00:52:55.000 They wanted to get woke, and it was because of these marketing consultants. 0.96

00:53:00.000 Dude, they're the worst.

00:53:01.000 If I was going to have an actual conspiracy theory, it would be that these far leftists immediately got jobs at advertisers.

00:53:09.000 Yes, that's exactly what it is, dude.

00:53:11.000 I mean, you've probably had videos.

00:53:14.000 I've had videos myself where I put them up.

00:53:16.000 You know the one where you're talking about the porn stars?

00:53:19.000 It's too much swearing and stuff, but basically I made this video with some porn stars and it was like a comedy video.

00:53:26.000 It's on my channel, but it's kind of irrelevant what it was about, but I put it on my TikTok and it did like 2 million views and I lost 20,000 subscribers.

00:53:36.000 There is a possibility, but if you work for an advertising firm, what happens is you go to these companies and you're like, you hired me to do this advertising campaign, they go back and they go, look at this, we did 20 million impressions, the CPM on that, what a successful campaign, and they all pop the champagne, one of the most successful campaigns, we'll win advertising awards, and you're like, yeah, but what you didn't mention is, Half of those, maybe more than half of those, was people sharing it, saying like, I hate this.

00:54:08.000 Or, it's actually crazier than that.

00:54:09.000 So, one thing they'll do is, and this has been rampant in digital media, advertisers will go to these companies and say, gender.

00:54:18.000 Here's what the young kids want.

00:54:19.000 They want to talk about gender.

00:54:21.000 and so these companies are like okay i guess we'll do a big gender thing

00:54:24.000 and then the advertising company will say okay it'll cost you twenty thousand

00:54:28.000 dollars for this production they'll take ten thousand and they will buy views

00:54:32.000 through device model through google or facebook

00:54:35.000 I'm not going to say anything.

00:54:36.000 I know because Vice has bought some views off of properties that I've been involved with.

00:54:41.000 Wow, really?

00:54:41.000 Yeah.

00:54:42.000 So I know a little.

00:54:43.000 Elaborate on that.

00:54:44.000 OK, so basically.

00:54:45.000 If you can.

00:54:46.000 Yeah, I mean, this isn't like a conspiracy.

00:54:48.000 This is just like how that industry works. 0.99

00:54:50.000 Yeah, you know, you're playing dumb with me. 0.97

00:54:54.000 I've talked about it quite a bit. 0.84

00:54:56.000 Okay, so yeah, basically how these models do is they sell the clicks, they say vice, like, we're the cool guy, you know, you want some vice clicks?

00:55:03.000 We're charging more than other people because you're buying a cool guy, you know?

00:55:06.000 Yeah.

00:55:06.000 So they sell to whatever Red Bull a million clicks at vibes.

00:55:11.000 Vice's articles are bombing right now because they, you know, they were hopping on a trend that's like dying out.

00:55:16.000 And then let's say they only get 500,000 clicks to put on their, you know, the ad on or whatever.

00:55:22.000 Then they go to other websites, you know, let's say, for example, a reductress or something like that.

00:55:27.000 Dose.com.

00:55:27.000 That's what it was.

00:55:28.000 I'm pretty sure.

00:55:29.000 I could be wrong.

00:55:30.000 Gaymalebathhouse.org.

00:55:31.000 Yeah, that was one of them.

00:55:32.000 I'm not familiar with it, but I've heard that there's articles, there's websites like that.

00:55:37.000 That sounds like Vice, to be honest, dude.

00:55:39.000 You've seen that video where the guy's doing a Vice article and he's like, he can't think

00:55:44.000 of anything, so he grabs a dildo out of a box and then he throws it at the wall and

00:55:48.000 then he throws it again.

00:55:49.000 Yeah, so anyway.

00:55:50.000 And then they buy the click, so they go, hey, we'll pay you a percentage.

00:55:53.000 Basically, we sold this for $500,000.

00:55:56.000 We can't fulfill it.

00:55:57.000 You know what I mean?

00:55:58.000 It's like if I said to someone, hey, you want to hang out with comedian Ryan Long and Tim Pool?

00:56:04.000 Give us $10,000 and it'll go to charity.

00:56:07.000 And someone goes, oh, I'll You know, I'll pay $10,000 for Tim.

00:56:09.000 I don't want Ryan to come, but whatever, right?

00:56:12.000 So they pay us the $10,000 to hang out with us for a day, and then we go, yeah, me and Tim couldn't make it.

00:56:17.000 Right, right, right, right.

00:56:19.000 My boy from high school, we call him B-Note, he's coming out. 1.00

00:56:24.000 He's going to have lunch with you.

00:56:25.000 He's usually just here to clean the garbages out, but he'll be hanging out.

00:56:29.000 Dude, I'm telling you, he's cool.

00:56:30.000 He's just like me, like we grew up.

00:56:32.000 Can't believe it's not Ryan.

00:56:34.000 Yes, it's a real thing.

00:56:36.000 It's called ad rights distribution or something like that.

00:56:40.000 In my opinion, I think it's fraud.

00:56:42.000 That's just what I think.

00:56:43.000 It kind of is.

00:56:44.000 If I go to you and I'm like, hey, I've got 50 million views per month.

00:56:49.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:56:49.000 Sell you junk. 0.99

00:56:50.000 I think it's the big short in a nutshell. 0.98

00:56:51.000 And then what they did was they would go to these small clickbait farms that just generate as many clicks as 0.60

00:56:56.000 possible Yeah, so I don't know sell you junk. Yeah, it's a big short

00:56:59.000 in a nutshell Seriously, no, it really is really is I thought I've talked

00:57:03.000 to ed people right right, right?

00:57:04.000 So for those aren't familiar with the big short This is about the financial crash in 08 and like a mortgage-backed

00:57:09.000 security It's a documentary about Kevin Hart.

00:57:11.000 Is it?

00:57:12.000 Oh, no, no, no.

00:57:13.000 I didn't know if he was in it.

00:57:15.000 I'm like, wait, wait, was he?

00:57:17.000 So anyway, oh, I get it.

00:57:19.000 That took me a while.

00:57:21.000 It was an on-purpose corny joke.

00:57:24.000 So anyway.

00:57:25.000 What happens is you think you're buying Vice, but you were actually buying, I think it was called, I think it was called Dose.

00:57:31.000 I'm not entirely sure.

00:57:32.000 And if you've ever seen those websites where it's like the 25 pictures of, you know, Brad Pitt's junk or something.

00:57:37.000 Yeah.

00:57:37.000 And then, no, I mean, I mean, no, no, no, no, no.

00:57:42.000 So no, but don't check my history, but actually a real, a real example.

00:57:45.000 I always, I always make that.

00:57:46.000 That's my go-to junk, my, my go-to tabloid joke because it's, it was an actual article I saw one time.

00:57:51.000 And what was it like in his bathing suit? 0.76

00:57:53.000 It was just like pictures of Brad Pitt and cameras zoomed in on his pants. 1.00

00:57:58.000 I'm like, it's the stupidest thing I've ever seen. 0.99

00:58:01.000 But there's one you've probably seen where it's like these child actors. 0.99

00:58:04.000 Maybe you've seen it, I haven't seen it.

00:58:06.000 There's this article, it's like child actresses who grew up.

00:58:09.000 And when you click it, it'll be like 25.

00:58:12.000 And in order to see the next one, you gotta load a brand new page.

00:58:15.000 Yeah, that's the biggest scam in the book.

00:58:18.000 And they were like, look at this, 12 clicks.

00:58:20.000 And they just went through all the pages.

00:58:21.000 And so the bounce rate's ridiculous, the retention is zero.

00:58:24.000 20 people who are racist and you get 20 clicks because they click, number one, my dad, number two, my teacher, number three, Congress. 0.61

00:58:34.000 Congress.

00:58:34.000 And they go through each and every Congress person.

00:58:37.000 So the people click these, then you end up with 30 clicks. 0.98

00:58:40.000 They're worthless junk clicks. 0.95

00:58:42.000 Nobody saw any ads. 0.99

00:58:43.000 No one saw any ads.

00:58:43.000 But then they attach that and say, here we go, we delivered the million views you wanted.

00:58:47.000 Yeah, you got it from Vice.

00:58:49.000 That was a huge problem.

00:58:51.000 I don't know if they're still doing it because they kind of all got... They are.

00:58:53.000 They are still doing it.

00:58:54.000 That's crazy.

00:58:54.000 But it's like going down, isn't it?

00:58:56.000 People aren't falling for it anymore, aren't they?

00:58:58.000 Well, I mean, I think in this world, like yeah, there was a while in the advertising world that was like the Wild Wild West.

00:59:04.000 I remember even like doing sponsorships to people.

00:59:06.000 It was kind of one of those like the Dr. Evil thing where they're like, How much do you want for this video?

00:59:10.000 And you're like, a billion dollars.

00:59:13.000 And then they're like, oh, a billion.

00:59:14.000 Well, it's a little high.

00:59:14.000 We'll do, how about 900 million?

00:59:16.000 Right.

00:59:17.000 Yes, exactly.

00:59:18.000 There was a while where like these valuations were just insane.

00:59:20.000 Right.

00:59:20.000 And then you'd be like, also, can you pay for it?

00:59:22.000 And they're like, sure.

00:59:23.000 And you're like, sick. 1.00

00:59:24.000 You guys are idiots, right? 1.00

00:59:27.000 And I think that was a little bit where these kids kind of, you know, younger people go to these companies and they explain it in the way that they're, they go, no, this is just how it works. 1.00

00:59:35.000 You don't understand.

00:59:36.000 We, these are affiliated brands.

00:59:38.000 Like they don't say, no, no, no.

00:59:40.000 You're still buying Vice, but these are brands that were affiliated.

00:59:42.000 Like we own these properties and they're part of our empire.

00:59:44.000 Like they kind of sell it that.

00:59:46.000 But the other thing you even mentioned and the thing that kind of always makes me laugh is they're kind of going and saying, this is what the kids want or whatever.

00:59:53.000 But the truth is what they're saying is this is what we millennials want.

00:59:57.000 And like the younger people, the people that are 20 hate this stuff.

01:00:00.000 And millennials just can't get past the fact that like, you know, we're the same age.

01:00:03.000 Like we're not that young anymore.

01:00:05.000 You know what I mean?

01:00:06.000 So a lot of these millennials are going around being like, Oh, these old guys just don't get it.

01:00:10.000 It's like, you're 35, dude.

01:00:12.000 Like you could have four kids and it would be kind of normal.

01:00:15.000 Well, this is what's funny about Vice.

01:00:17.000 Like, Vice billed itself as the scene in the street.

01:00:20.000 That's what the CEO was saying.

01:00:21.000 And just like, we got the youth, we're with it.

01:00:24.000 And at the time, like, the hires were like 40.

01:00:26.000 Yeah.

01:00:27.000 They were like, they're Gen Xers, they're in their 40s.

01:00:30.000 I remember when I started working there, man, it's like, wow, it was 10 years ago almost.

01:00:34.000 Yeah.

01:00:34.000 And they did have something, but man, right around the time I started working there, it just became very corporate very, very quickly.

01:00:40.000 But the one thing I was going to mention too, it's not so much about the ad rights manipulation, where someone will say, we want to sell a million ads, a million views, and so they just throw garbage at it.

01:00:52.000 They'll also, here's what they'll do, I'll say to you, I'm gonna make a video for you, and it'll cost you 10 grand, but I guarantee you I can get your video a million views.

01:01:04.000 And they just run it on a generic ad run on YouTube or something.

01:01:08.000 You can get it as much as you want if you pay for it.

01:01:10.000 Exactly, but then they come back and they go, look how successful the campaign was!

01:01:13.000 It got a million views!

01:01:14.000 A million views and three comments!

01:01:17.000 Nine shares!

01:01:19.000 But you can also buy bot farms.

01:01:22.000 That's the ultimate.

01:01:23.000 That's the fraud.

01:01:24.000 That's when you're just like, you know what, let's roll the dice, F it.

01:01:28.000 I don't know, just put a million views on it and charge them a hundred grand?

01:01:32.000 Look at a million views.

01:01:32.000 Yep.

01:01:33.000 It's ridiculous to me that it's that simple. 0.98

01:01:36.000 Holy crap, this video popped off in Nigeria. 0.98

01:01:39.000 Look at the analytics. 0.98

01:01:40.000 Wow, yeah, crazy.

01:01:41.000 All in one minute.

01:01:44.000 We nailed the 18 to 99 demographic in India and Turkey.

01:01:51.000 No, uh, when they actually do click farms, they're sophisticated click farms.

01:01:55.000 So they can make it seem like, you know, I remember talking- Yeah, no, they're getting better at it.

01:02:00.000 They're like, do you want New York based, Florida based?

01:02:02.000 We can do hipster millennial, we can make it look like anybody.

01:02:04.000 And I can't believe this stuff is legal and they get away with it.

01:02:07.000 It's probably.

01:02:07.000 I mean, I don't know if it's illegal.

01:02:09.000 Yeah, you're right.

01:02:09.000 I don't know.

01:02:10.000 But yeah, the one thing that just reminded me of advice is the so this is another one when they came to Canada, they were like, Okay, we want to do you know, they made this big venture deal.

01:02:20.000 So every place that goes to a different country from America, they make these crazy deals with the government where they're like, We're going to make so much content, we're going to give everyone jobs, don't you worry.

01:02:30.000 So then the government gives them tax breaks to come.

01:02:33.000 And then once they actually have to make the stuff, they're like, yeah, we're lying, we're not going to do that.

01:02:37.000 Thanks for the money!

01:02:38.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:02:39.000 I was doing a show at Rogers at the time and they brought me in and the guy at Rogers was like, hey, the Vice people want to talk to you.

01:02:46.000 This is like when Vice was cool before.

01:02:48.000 Rogers is like Verizon of Canada or something?

01:02:50.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:02:51.000 I don't know, guess what Viacom would be in terms of like... Oh, even bigger than that, huh?

01:02:55.000 Well, I don't know about the size.

01:02:57.000 I just mean in terms of like they they do have like own a bunch of TV stations.

01:03:01.000 Yeah.

01:03:02.000 Does Verizon own like TV properties like that?

01:03:02.000 I don't know.

01:03:04.000 No, no.

01:03:05.000 Well, Rogers is like cell phones, too, I guess.

01:03:07.000 Yeah, but they're also like AT&T.

01:03:08.000 Yeah.

01:03:09.000 I don't know what their portfolio like divisions look like, but they yeah, they do the cell phones.

01:03:13.000 They also own a bunch of other stuff, including TV networks and stuff.

01:03:16.000 Yeah.

01:03:16.000 Right.

01:03:16.000 But so they they came in and they were like, yeah, again, this was like when they were kind of, you know, making cool stuff and not that they don't make anything good, but it's like they're Culture department and journalist stuff is, you know, just completely garbage, right?

01:03:29.000 And they said, they brought me into this room and they played this video being like, yo, Vice, we want to make content that can't be made in a boardroom.

01:03:29.000 Yeah.

01:03:39.000 And we're all watching this from a boardroom.

01:03:41.000 And everyone looked around being like, they can't be serious.

01:03:44.000 Like the lack of self-awareness to play us a video that says we want to make stuff that can't ever be talked about in a boardroom, sitting in a boardroom, you go, you guys are cooked, dude.

01:03:53.000 They don't even like, they've stopped even pretending to like care.

01:03:56.000 It's kind of sad though, man, because when I first, the first time I went to Vice, I walk into this rickety old building in Brooklyn.

01:04:02.000 Kickflip through the front door.

01:04:04.000 There was literally a skate ramp in the Vice building in the early days because it was a skate shop and skate park.

01:04:10.000 I go upstairs and all the bosses are sitting in the exact same room with just exposed brick walls and crappy desks, sitting side by side working with people.

01:04:18.000 And then within, you know, I don't know, six, seven months, it was like everything was remodeled, redone, corporate, brought in HR department.

01:04:24.000 I'm like, man, this is not fun anymore. 0.99

01:04:27.000 This is like, it was, it went from like when I first started, Also, can you write articles about why you suck? 0.97

01:04:33.000 You're like, yeah, especially because you're like a journalist, right? 0.60

01:04:36.000 You're like, you know, you were kind of, I guess, attracted to when there people are going to doing these docs in Russia and that. 0.98

01:04:41.000 They're like, hey, can you go to like Wall Street and do a documentary about why you suck? 0.89

01:04:46.000 You know, it doesn't seem as fun. 0.96

01:04:48.000 Well, I mean, it seems plastic now.

01:04:51.000 It used to be fun.

01:04:52.000 So I'm like, I got a crazy idea. 0.92

01:04:54.000 I want to write this ridiculous article about, you know, crazy BS. 0.66

01:04:56.000 And they'd be like, yeah, you're in your 20s doing fun stuff. 0.88

01:04:59.000 Yeah, now then it became plastic, where it was like, OK, we've got, you know, we used to have this gritty, fun and exciting youth kind of, you know, edgy outlet.

01:05:08.000 Now let's fit it into a package, slap the brand on it and ship it out nationwide for Christmas.

01:05:13.000 And then they're like, we don't want this.

01:05:15.000 And then they go, show them the half pipe again.

01:05:17.000 And they go, look, we've got a hive pipe, you've got to buy this.

01:05:20.000 You know what it feels like?

01:05:21.000 It feels like there was some young edgy dudes who were having a wild adventure and then they saw their opportunity and they said, here's the franchise formula, have a nice day.

01:05:31.000 Yeah, the clickbait formula.

01:05:33.000 You know what's funny?

01:05:35.000 You mentioned you saw my one where it was like Fox and CNN and I was kind of making fun of them.

01:05:38.000 Yeah, that was so good.

01:05:39.000 Yeah, how to sell footage to Fox and CNN.

01:05:42.000 Like, the same thing at Vice.

01:05:43.000 Like, I always kind of rag on these organizations, but when I made that video, there was people at Fox and CNN that were both like, dude, I work there, and it's honestly kind of like that, and I hate it.

01:05:52.000 So there are real journalists that, you know, work at these organizations that, the same reason, like, you know, in Canada, I've worked at these, you know, made TV shows at these places that have that culture, where from the outside, you're like, this place is junk, and there's a lot of people there that are like, yeah, dude, I hate this too.

01:06:07.000 I'm trying to make some cool stuff, and I'm getting shut down at every, so.

01:06:10.000 These people gotta speak up, like, blow the whistle, and just talk about the culture.

01:06:14.000 Look, I had a contract, I wanted to leave, I left, and I just, like, dude, I'm never gonna sign an NDA on that stuff, I'll come out and say it.

01:06:14.000 Yeah.

01:06:21.000 Here's what happened, here's what they told me to do, it was whack, they told me to lie in this way and that way, I'll just say it.

01:06:25.000 Vice? 0.62

01:06:26.000 No, Vice was crazy!

01:06:28.000 Vice was like, I'd walk in a room and I'd be like, I'm going to Turkey and they'd be like,

01:06:33.000 can you, when can you leave?

01:06:35.000 Go in the room, get body armor and just let me know when you're at the airport.

01:06:38.000 Like it was kind of awesome.

01:06:39.000 I love the idea of when you got fired or not, I'm sure you quit or whatever.

01:06:42.000 Yeah, I quit.

01:06:43.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:06:44.000 When you quit Vice, they're like, all right, you need to turn in your trucks.

01:06:47.000 My trucks, oh, no, no, no.

01:06:49.000 When I quit Vice, they were like.

01:06:50.000 And your guitar picks.

01:06:52.000 When I quit, they were like, you didn't quit.

01:06:54.000 And I was like, yeah, I did.

01:06:54.000 And they were like, nobody quits.

01:06:56.000 Nobody quits.

01:06:58.000 And your tech decks.

01:06:59.000 Keep it coming.

01:07:00.000 All the tech decks.

01:07:01.000 I had to turn in my official... No, they gave me, like, I have a vice ring, you know?

01:07:06.000 Oh, you got the vice ring.

01:07:07.000 What is that?

01:07:07.000 You've been there for how many years?

01:07:08.000 Did you get the vice ring?

01:07:09.000 No, I don't know.

01:07:10.000 I don't know, but I was there and I got it.

01:07:13.000 Vice loves paying people in capital other than money.

01:07:16.000 You're like, how about cool points?

01:07:18.000 You get a vice badge.

01:07:19.000 You're like, I'd like a raise because I'm getting paid 20 grand a year.

01:07:19.000 There's a ring.

01:07:22.000 How about a ring?

01:07:23.000 What does that do for you?

01:07:24.000 And then when you're like, oh, I can't pay my rent with the ring, they're like, woo.

01:07:28.000 They're like shining it, and it's like, woo.

01:07:30.000 Did we tell you we're having a rave next week?

01:07:32.000 Does that do anything for you?

01:07:33.000 They literally do those things.

01:07:34.000 I know, I've been to one.

01:07:35.000 But you know, it's been a while.

01:07:37.000 Look, I still have a lot of respect for a lot of people over there.

01:07:40.000 Of course.

01:07:41.000 But they treated it like a cult.

01:07:43.000 So when I was leaving, it was straight up like, Nobody nobody quits, and I had a bunch of I have friends I had friends with it who stayed there for a long time And they were like what do you mean?

01:07:52.000 You're quitting nobody quits, and I was like dude.

01:07:55.000 I'm not gonna like I do my thing I'm on a path of success if at any point.

01:08:00.000 I feel like it's not working for me I go my own way, and they were shocked because everybody was so desperate to work there the line was out the door and But look, you know, I could see what was happening.

01:08:12.000 It was, look, the company made a lot of money.

01:08:15.000 It's a very successful business, but it wasn't a culture that I wanted to be a part of at a certain point.

01:08:20.000 It's becoming corporate.

01:08:21.000 You can feel the energy.

01:08:22.000 I mean, like, you know, anyone who gets good at any of this kind of stuff, you feel the energy when it's growing and you feel the energy of when something's like becoming stale and being on the wrong side of, you know, what, especially like the new movements are and stuff like that.

01:08:34.000 Right.

01:08:34.000 You know, you're like, you guys are about to go into corporate-treaded territory and I don't want to be part of that.

01:08:38.000 Yeah, and very early on, because I was only there for like a year and a half.

01:08:43.000 Very early on, it was my... You got the ring after a year and a half?

01:08:45.000 I was only there for a year and a half.

01:08:46.000 Well, to be fair though, I was like a good get for them, you know?

01:08:51.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, so that was part of the package.

01:08:53.000 They proposed to you, it's like, Tim, will you be a journalist of us?

01:08:58.000 Kind of, yes, absolutely.

01:09:00.000 No, no, it was like, after some amount of time, they were like, how can we make sure this guy doesn't want to leave?

01:09:03.000 Yeah.

01:09:04.000 Did you get your vice tattoo covered up?

01:09:05.000 had this power of the vice brand that everybody loved so much, nobody would quit.

01:09:09.000 Yeah.

01:09:10.000 And there's some internal stuff where.

01:09:12.000 Did you get your vice tattoo covered up?

01:09:14.000 Oh, definitely.

01:09:15.000 I don't have any tattoos actually.

01:09:15.000 Yeah.

01:09:15.000 It's a butterfly.

01:09:16.000 But it's a lower back vice tattoo.

01:09:18.000 Yeah.

01:09:18.000 Lower back, right.

01:09:20.000 No, they, they, they, they actually said to me like you didn't quit.

01:09:23.000 And they're like, this isn't over.

01:09:23.000 And I was like, I did.

01:09:24.000 And I was like, it's over.

01:09:26.000 You're not breaking up.

01:09:27.000 I cashed the check for the other company.

01:09:29.000 And it's funny, because I saw what was happening.

01:09:30.000 And so I figured, when I got reached, so I got this recruiting company reached out to me that was, you know, it was ABC News Univision.

01:09:38.000 And they were like, we want to be like Vice.

01:09:41.000 We want to be that edgy, young, And so I thought to myself, if this is where things are kind of going, and I feel like I'm gonna be underpaid here, why not just go to the big company and have full control?

01:09:53.000 And they're becoming that anyway!

01:09:55.000 Exactly.

01:09:56.000 So I was like, if you want to be in that culture and be like that, why wouldn't I just go to the company that's already got the cash and is going to pony up the big bucks?

01:10:06.000 That's obviously the move.

01:10:07.000 I mean, you want to do those jobs when you're in your early 20s and then you make a couple big moves in your life if you're going to stay in that world.

01:10:15.000 You know, I had a conversation with someone from Vice, and the general idea was, they were like, if you leave, you lose the cool factor.

01:10:22.000 Oh no!

01:10:23.000 Jokes on them, the cool factor went to the floor.

01:10:27.000 It was a springboard for a lot of people.

01:10:29.000 Right, for sure, for sure.

01:10:30.000 Yeah, definitely lost that.

01:10:31.000 But at the time it was- Cool factor.

01:10:33.000 Now it is.

01:10:34.000 Now it's cringe factor.

01:10:36.000 At the time it was like, if you stay here and you do more of these videos, because I did a video with Kim Dotcom, the hacker dude.

01:10:43.000 Kim K, got it.

01:10:43.000 Yeah, and it got like, for sure, it got like 5 million views overnight.

01:10:47.000 And so Vice was hot on social media and YouTube, and it was like, if you leave, you're not going to get this kind of recognition.

01:10:54.000 You'll make more money.

01:10:55.000 They're really selling that, eh?

01:10:56.000 That's their whole thing.

01:10:57.000 And you know what I said was?

01:10:58.000 I was like, dude, those videos that got all those views, that's me getting those views, not you.

01:11:04.000 And so, you know, because I had already gotten a ton of views on a ton of content, but they were really, you know, going for that.

01:11:09.000 So I ended up leaving this company.

01:11:11.000 And here's the point of the story.

01:11:13.000 I got no problem saying, here's what all these companies did.

01:11:15.000 I'll say it straight up.

01:11:16.000 We need more people to do that.

01:11:17.000 Like the things you're mentioning about these tech companies, how they sell ads, the fake game they play, the marketing companies that are telling people to get woke.

01:11:24.000 And then it results in trash content nobody wants.

01:11:27.000 But the point I was making before about how it's kind of like an anchor, is that once you get woke, you don't go back.

01:11:33.000 No, you can't, because the culture's too ingrained, you know?

01:11:35.000 It's like, again, once you've... You basically tell everyone, hey, if we do something else, we're racist.

01:11:40.000 Everyone's like, got it.

01:11:41.000 And then you come back, you're like, hey, we're gonna do something else.

01:11:43.000 And they're like, but that's racist.

01:11:45.000 Yeah, and then nobody will move.

01:11:46.000 But you know what it's like?

01:11:47.000 You ever see that... You ever hear of that experiment they did with, like, the chimps?

01:11:51.000 And they put them in this room. 0.99

01:11:52.000 Had sex with them all? 1.00

01:11:53.000 Yeah, yeah. 0.99

01:11:54.000 And everyone got diseases.

01:11:55.000 No, they put a ladder.

01:11:57.000 Me and my boys.

01:11:58.000 I don't know exactly how they did it, but it's like an urban legend.

01:12:00.000 I'm pretty sure it's a true story.

01:12:01.000 They put this stool in a room, and they put fruit on top, and they had a bunch of chimps.

01:12:05.000 And any time a chimp would try and climb the ladder to get the fruit, they'd spray them with the hose. 1.00

01:12:09.000 So then eventually, if any chimp tried to get the food, the other chimps... They'd beat the other chimp out. 1.00

01:12:13.000 Then one by one, they'd swap.

01:12:14.000 It's the crab in a bucket theories, you know?

01:12:16.000 So one by one, they would switch the chimp out. 1.00

01:12:18.000 Then they'd put in a new chimp.

01:12:19.000 Yes.

01:12:20.000 And they got rid of the hose.

01:12:21.000 There's a bunch of, there's different versions of that experiment.

01:12:23.000 I've actually seen a different one, but I know exactly what you're talking about.

01:12:26.000 And eventually no one knows why they're doing it.

01:12:28.000 Exactly.

01:12:29.000 So here's what happens.

01:12:30.000 You get some guy at a tech company, I'm sorry, at a media company, and they're sitting there

01:12:34.000 scratching their beard, you know, and their man bun, and they're like.

01:12:38.000 Getting the Vice tattoo on their neck.

01:12:40.000 And while they're sitting there, they're thinking to themselves, like, how can we boost views?

01:12:42.000 They're like, let's try some, like, woke feminist stuff. 1.00

01:12:45.000 They do it.

01:12:46.000 They get some marginal boost from, like, shock content.

01:12:49.000 It's rage bait.

01:12:50.000 This guy gets a promotion and leaves.

01:12:52.000 He gets replaced by a new woke guy.

01:12:54.000 And now you have a whole room full of woke people who have no idea why they're doing it.

01:12:58.000 And they'll never give it up.

01:13:00.000 It just becomes a genre.

01:13:03.000 It always happens in comedy too, it's like the thing that you're making fun of becomes obsolete, but the thing... Like for example, you know if you were talking about, you know the cop shows that are like, hey Riggs, you know, we're gonna do... whatever, right?

01:13:18.000 You know what, I'll say this first because it was making me laugh in my head.

01:13:23.000 The idea of you retired from Vice and then Vice being like, can you come back, do an article?

01:13:28.000 And you're like, you know, I don't do that anymore.

01:13:30.000 I don't do it anymore, Shane.

01:13:32.000 One last job.

01:13:34.000 One last job.

01:13:35.000 There's crack smokers in Russia.

01:13:38.000 I'm sitting here and I'm like, no.

01:13:38.000 And then they like open a briefcase and it's a bunch of rigs.

01:13:45.000 Yeah, yeah, it's just a ring it's in and look I think yeah, yeah, I couldn't get through my boy cuz I was making myself It's a briefcase with a one-way.

01:13:55.000 Yeah, and you're like, all right one last job Get me my plaid shirt With rolled-up sleeves and then it's like that it's writing an article and it's like the the crack addicted coal miners Siberia And you're like, why can't someone else do it? 0.94

01:14:10.000 They're like, they can't talk to the crack addicted coal miners. 0.98

01:14:13.000 It's only you that have the skills to infiltrate.

01:14:16.000 You think you're telling me a joke?

01:14:18.000 Let me tell you a story.

01:14:19.000 One of the things that I got pitched when I was there was a story about in South South American mountains where the men have to climb up and like do mining on like mountaintops or whatever.

01:14:31.000 Yeah.

01:14:32.000 The women can't survive up there as long as the men can because of... Typical. 1.00

01:14:36.000 Absolutely.

01:14:37.000 Well, so this is what I was told.

01:14:38.000 That the women have a harder time surviving because of the thin air. 0.92

01:14:41.000 So the men work up there for really long periods of time, but they get lonely.

01:14:47.000 And because women can't come up, other men have to dress up like women and service the other men. 0.98

01:14:52.000 And that was literally a Vice story and I was asked, like, would you want to go to these mountains and like...

01:14:56.000 Interview this, do a video.

01:14:57.000 I'm like, that sounds like us. 0.99

01:14:59.000 Girls putting a wig on and jerking off dudes. 0.99

01:15:03.000 Dudes doing, putting wigs on. 0.99

01:15:05.000 Yeah, we are not family friendly anymore.

01:15:07.000 This sounds like the South Park episode.

01:15:08.000 No, I wasn't.

01:15:09.000 I was like, when's the plane leave?

01:15:11.000 I was like, I'll parachute in, land me on top of the mountain.

01:15:14.000 You come in, you land on the person servicing the guy.

01:15:19.000 Oh no, too close for comfort!

01:15:20.000 You ever seen the South Park episode where the cops taking down the Johns by pretending to be a pedophile dressing up?

01:15:28.000 That's you, you have to dress up like the wig. 0.94

01:15:29.000 He gets married to the pimp and it's like ten years later.

01:15:32.000 You're six guys in but you have a GoPro on your head.

01:15:36.000 No, no, no, no.

01:15:38.000 Oh my goodness.

01:15:39.000 You'd be surprised.

01:15:40.000 Like when I was in, when I was in Venezuela.

01:15:42.000 Yeah.

01:15:43.000 You have to work undercover for seven months.

01:15:46.000 I almost went to prison.

01:15:47.000 Really?

01:15:47.000 I was in Venezuela.

01:15:49.000 I had some high profile Venezuelan dude accused me of being a spy.

01:15:52.000 All of a sudden I'm getting attacked online, like 10,000 tweets in a few minutes saying like, we're coming for you.

01:15:57.000 You know, we're going to find you.

01:15:59.000 From people in Venezuela?

01:15:59.000 Things like that.

01:16:00.000 Yeah.

01:16:01.000 While I was in Venezuela.

01:16:01.000 How did they see you in the first place?

01:16:03.000 So I had posted something on Instagram.

01:16:05.000 I was like, it's no big deal.

01:16:06.000 I took a picture of the protest or whatever and uploaded it.

01:16:09.000 And they could tell that you were a journalist?

01:16:12.000 And that's what they mean by spy?

01:16:13.000 No, they straight up said I was a spy.

01:16:15.000 They said I was working for the CIA.

01:16:17.000 So it was actually American leftists.

01:16:21.000 started tweeting at the guy saying Tim Pool works for the CIA and he's in your country.

01:16:25.000 And so the dude saw it, went on his show and he started showing pictures of me and he was like

01:16:28.000 look he's here he's here and started showing pictures of corpses in Ukraine claiming like

01:16:32.000 I had killed them or something like crazy crazy stuff. And so what was that what I was told from

01:16:38.000 Vice was can you make this the story? And I was like can you can you send me a helicopter please?

01:16:44.000 So the first thing I did as soon as it happened, I was like, airport, airport, airport.

01:16:48.000 Yeah.

01:16:49.000 Talked to security and they were like, it was the middle of the night, you gotta wait till the sun cracks, because you don't want to get killed.

01:16:53.000 Sun cracked, got in the cab, got to the airport, got on that plane, and I was sitting outside the gate, waiting for boarding, and that's what I was asked by the guy's advice.

01:17:02.000 They were like, why don't you just, you know, this is the story.

01:17:05.000 And I was like, they're gonna throw me in prison, dude.

01:17:08.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:17:09.000 And you're like, they're like, sick, right?

01:17:09.000 I called my family.

01:17:11.000 They were like, well, you'll be fine.

01:17:14.000 And I talked to my family.

01:17:15.000 Do you know how many articles you could write from prison, dude?

01:17:17.000 No, you wouldn't write any, but then like, so I was talking to my family.

01:17:20.000 I murdered a guy and did 15 years in prison.

01:17:23.000 That probably is. 0.56

01:17:24.000 I'm sure it is.

01:17:24.000 It's a big long piece.

01:17:25.000 No, but I was talking to some family members and they said, well, if you go to prison, you'll probably in for a couple, you'll be in for a couple of years, but the state department will eventually get, will eventually get you out.

01:17:34.000 And then you can write a book about it.

01:17:35.000 Prison in there?

01:17:36.000 In Venezuela.

01:17:37.000 Everyone you talk to is like, dude, this can be great for your career.

01:17:40.000 You're like, Can someone get me out of here?

01:17:41.000 Does anyone care?

01:17:42.000 Your lawyer is like, you're like, hey, okay, so I need a lawyer right now.

01:17:46.000 He's like, let me ask you a question.

01:17:47.000 Have you started writing?

01:17:48.000 What kind of, are you using your laptop?

01:17:50.000 Now, what kind of percentage can we talk about?

01:17:52.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:17:54.000 Your lawyer thinks you're calling him to negotiate the book deal.

01:17:57.000 The point I was bringing up with my family member was not that they were encouraging me to go to prison, it was they were like, that's the mentality of what they're thinking.

01:18:03.000 They want you to stay because then they could have this international insight.

01:18:05.000 Our journalist was there, he was totally on the level.

01:18:08.000 I'm not saying that's actually what they wanted, Yeah, they wouldn't hurt.

01:18:10.000 necessarily.

01:18:11.000 Yeah, they wouldn't hurt.

01:18:12.000 But that's what my family member thought they were going for.

01:18:14.000 Like some people in my family were just like, eh, it sounds like.

01:18:17.000 And so I was like, I'm going to be on that plane.

01:18:18.000 And I remember sitting on that plane and I was just like sweating bullets waiting.

01:18:23.000 And then as soon as the wheels lifted off the ground, I was like, yes.

01:18:27.000 When I got back, one of the interns advice was Venezuelan was he ran up to me, he's like,

01:18:30.000 how did you get out?

01:18:31.000 And I was like, what do you mean?

01:18:32.000 He's like, how did you get out?

01:18:34.000 And I was just like, I went to the airport, got on a plane, left there like, wow.

01:18:37.000 Because they throw people in prison for way less than what they accused you of.

01:18:37.000 Because they throw people in prison for way less than what they accused you of being an

01:18:40.000 Being an American spy.

01:18:41.000 American spy.

01:18:42.000 And then somebody hacked my family's accounts, phones.

01:18:42.000 And then somebody hacked my family's accounts, phones, they hacked my Facebook account.

01:18:45.000 They hacked my Facebook account.

01:18:47.000 Like, dude, this is the craziest thing.

01:18:49.000 A friend of mine I hadn't talked to in like six years messaged me saying, you need to call me immediately.

01:18:54.000 The FBI is asking about you.

01:18:56.000 And I was like, this is probably like something to do with what happened.

01:18:59.000 So I- Female body inspectors. 1.00

01:19:01.000 I call him and he doesn't answer.

01:19:03.000 I call him several times.

01:19:04.000 He doesn't answer.

01:19:05.000 Finally, he calls me back like four hours later and he's like, why are you calling me, dude?

01:19:08.000 And I was like, you told me to call you.

01:19:09.000 He was like, we talked, I haven't talked to you in like four or five years, bro.

01:19:13.000 And I was like, I got a message from you on Facebook And he was like, dude, I didn't message you.

01:19:17.000 I haven't talked to you in years.

01:19:19.000 I sent him a screenshot of it and he was like, bro, I never messaged you.

01:19:21.000 And so I talked to some of my cybersecurity friends and they said it was a... I want cybersecurity friends.

01:19:27.000 A messaging injection attack.

01:19:29.000 And what they think happened was that the Venezuelan cybersecurity infrastructure was trying to get me to make a phone call from inside the country so they could find out where I was.

01:19:38.000 Really?

01:19:38.000 Wow.

01:19:39.000 But I was back in the States.

01:19:41.000 So when I called him, it didn't do anything.

01:19:43.000 And then because I'm a funny guy, I used a GPS spoofer and then I tweeted something like

01:19:49.000 these arepas are delicious.

01:19:52.000 And then I made my GPS location Venezuela.

01:19:54.000 Really?

01:19:55.000 I was like, there you go, guys.

01:19:56.000 You outsmarted them.

01:19:57.000 No, I don't think I actually did anything.

01:19:59.000 You know, I have no idea.

01:20:01.000 But they did hack all of my stuff.

01:20:04.000 They hacked my Facebook, you know.

01:20:06.000 There was like an unknown login and stuff, and so that's freaky.

01:20:09.000 I've had a few of those, dude.

01:20:10.000 I had a guy that sent me, he's like, this is your password.

01:20:13.000 This was like a month ago.

01:20:15.000 And it was like, I've got your password, and I've been watching you through your webcam or whatever, and you need to send me money.

01:20:20.000 Yeah, dude, it was like a month ago.

01:20:20.000 Someone did that to you?

01:20:22.000 But it was in my spam, and I was looking for another email, so I saw my spam, and it was like a month ago.

01:20:26.000 But he had my password right.

01:20:28.000 And I was like, yeah, but you know, I don't know, man.

01:20:28.000 Wow.

01:20:32.000 Sometimes people, I don't know.

01:20:35.000 Like what's it going to get from you?

01:20:35.000 It's weird.

01:20:37.000 I don't know.

01:20:37.000 I'm sure.

01:20:38.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:20:39.000 Someone stupider would have been like, I don't know, here's $2,000, whatever it is. 0.99

01:20:41.000 Like, yeah. 0.97

01:20:42.000 Some rich dude, they're like, hey, we're going to send all your like, I mean, to be fair, if someone was in my group chats right now and was like, hey, we have like, I just have a transcript of all your group chats and I'm going to release them all.

01:20:42.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:20:53.000 I'd be like, here's my house. 1.00

01:20:56.000 Would you like to have sex with my girlfriend? 1.00

01:20:57.000 Like, I mean, just you give me the list of demands. 0.99

01:21:01.000 Here's my mom, whatever you need, because this cannot get out.

01:21:06.000 So I actually want to talk about one more thing because we're getting, we're getting close to super chat time, but yeah.

01:21:11.000 We were talking about Woke, College Campus, all these jokes, and it reminds me of a man, Jerry Seinfeld.

01:21:15.000 Because he's the one who kind of sparked a lot of this conversation around college campus comedy.

01:21:19.000 And now he's in the news because he's the one saying New York is fine.

01:21:23.000 We're seeing a bunch of articles.

01:21:23.000 Yes.

01:21:24.000 We got, I think you mentioned this earlier, we got the story from the Post, actually from James, how do you pronounce his name, Altucher?

01:21:30.000 Yes, James Altucher is my friend, too.

01:21:32.000 He said, New York City is dead forever.

01:21:34.000 Yeah.

01:21:35.000 Is he right?

01:21:36.000 Well, this is kind of a... The truth is, who knows?

01:21:40.000 And even James doesn't know, necessarily.

01:21:42.000 But the first thing is, first, I've never seen anything with more hate.

01:21:46.000 Like, anything I've done, anything a lot of my friends have done, where people go, the whole internet goes, you're the worst!

01:21:52.000 The only thing I've seen like this was when Ari Shaffir did the Kobe thing, and everyone on the internet was like, this guy is... Basically, when he said New York City's dead forever, people basically saw it as if he went to the Twin Towers the day they came down and spit on the ashes.

01:22:07.000 I don't know if you were following this at all, but the amount of visceral hate.

01:22:11.000 I was doing comedy shows in New York still, and I would talk to comics, 1.00

01:22:15.000 the people would be talking about it, and they go, that guy's an idiot. 1.00

01:22:18.000 Like, there's a snot. 1.00

01:22:20.000 So anyway, so Jerry Seinfeld, I guess, was like that, and then he goes, it's not dead, you're an idiot. 1.00

01:22:25.000 Like, you're wrong, like, F you, you're stupid, you're a putz. 1.00

01:22:29.000 He called him a putz, which is pretty funny. 1.00

01:22:30.000 James Altucher's going back to him, he goes, at least Jerry Seinfeld wrote some new jokes,

01:22:34.000 like stuff like that.

01:22:35.000 Wow, so Altutur's taking some pretty contrarian takes here.

01:22:39.000 He's sort of saying, here's my list of what, I think he's doubled down since people got mad at him.

01:22:43.000 I don't know how much of this, you know, when you make a video every week, he does two articles a week.

01:22:48.000 He may have been kind of being hyperbolic and not realized how much he's putting it out.

01:22:53.000 I mean, I'm not in New York, so I'm sure people, but I think, Seinfeld doesn't know.

01:22:53.000 I agree with him.

01:22:58.000 He didn't say any good rebuttals.

01:22:59.000 He just goes, no it's not.

01:23:01.000 And he doesn't even live there.

01:23:02.000 No, he doesn't even live there.

01:23:03.000 He's in the Hamptons and stuff, right?

01:23:05.000 But you live there.

01:23:06.000 I'm in the thick, dude.

01:23:06.000 I live there now.

01:23:07.000 Is it dead?

01:23:08.000 I'm full Canadian-American patriot right now.

01:23:10.000 I love it.

01:23:11.000 But what do you think?

01:23:12.000 I mean, living there in the city.

01:23:14.000 I've been saying that it's funny because everywhere you look on the TV, it's like everyone's locked in their houses.

01:23:22.000 The pandemic.

01:23:23.000 If I go outside my house, it's a carnival.

01:23:24.000 There is literally guys selling stuff on the street.

01:23:29.000 Everyone's walking around without a mask.

01:23:30.000 No one cares for the most part.

01:23:32.000 So they basically said, OK, we're going to let bars do street bars.

01:23:36.000 If you go to certain corners, like in the East Village, it's like New Orleans.

01:23:40.000 Basically, the street's blocked off.

01:23:43.000 There's a street party.

01:23:44.000 Everyone's partying on the streets.

01:23:47.000 Well, you can't get evicted, right?

01:23:50.000 Yeah, I don't know if that's true.

01:23:51.000 Can you get evicted?

01:23:52.000 I don't know.

01:23:53.000 Probably.

01:23:53.000 I mean, I think if a landlord came up to you and they're like, yo, you're evicted, you're like, yeah, I'm not going anywhere, so go sue me, I guess.

01:24:00.000 Yeah, go to the landlord courts. 0.82

01:24:01.000 And then the landlord courts would be like, yeah, I mean, there's a nine-month waiting list.

01:24:04.000 And even then, probably not.

01:24:05.000 And you'd be like, I think you would just have to eat it if your tenant stopped paying rent.

01:24:08.000 Yeah, well I think that's one of the big challenges now.

01:24:12.000 For one thing, people are buying up properties like crazy.

01:24:14.000 They're definitely leaving New York, they're leaving California.

01:24:18.000 San Francisco's got like a 96% inventory increase from people fleeing the city.

01:24:22.000 But people are leaving.

01:24:23.000 And so it's like when I read this article saying New York was dead, and then I read all of these things like the amount of businesses that are permanently closed, the half a million middle-to-upper-class people who have fled already, not to mention that more are leaving inventory for, you know, 13,000 empty apartment buildings, or vacant buildings, I believe.

01:24:39.000 And then you got homeless people being put in these hotels in like the Upper East and West Side, like these richer areas, like these wealthier areas.

01:24:46.000 Yeah, people are just like, No, I sort of misinterpreted your last question.

01:24:49.000 I thought you meant, what's it like in general?

01:24:51.000 I actually forgot that we were relating it back to this article of whether- Oh, New York is dead.

01:24:55.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:24:55.000 I mean- No, no, no, no.

01:24:56.000 I think what you said is interesting.

01:24:58.000 Yeah, but I think that it is true that a lot of the points he made, and there is this thing where how long can you push it and push it and push it?

01:25:04.000 I mean, this is what happened in Silicon Valley, right?

01:25:06.000 And I think a lot of what James thinks, too, and not putting words in his mouth, is like when Joe Rogan kind of said, like, all right, LA, enough's enough.

01:25:13.000 I'm out of here, right?

01:25:14.000 Yeah.

01:25:14.000 And whether that had to do with tax breaks, who knows, right?

01:25:17.000 But eventually, and people kind of a little think it has anything to do with taxes.

01:25:20.000 Maybe not. Right. So I think a lot of people kind of got it.

01:25:22.000 They're like, yo, LA's been pushing their luck, right?

01:25:25.000 They've just said, you know, we can do whatever we want because we're Los Angeles and everyone wants to live here.

01:25:29.000 And New York kind of feels like that, too.

01:25:30.000 We'll have way higher taxes and F you. 0.98

01:25:33.000 Everyone still wants to be here.

01:25:34.000 And there's a point where it's like everything else is opening back up.

01:25:37.000 People have started working remotely and they like it and it works and you go, this is better.

01:25:42.000 So there is a point where other places start looking more attractive and then everyone moved to Silicon Valley to Austin.

01:25:51.000 And now Austin, they're starting to regulate and do all this stuff and they're kind of like, all right, we got to find a new place.

01:25:55.000 It seems like the people that like freedom and not regulation kind of always go on the run.

01:25:59.000 Then those places get good.

01:26:00.000 Then everyone comes there and then they crack down again and they find somewhere else to go.

01:26:04.000 I can't believe so many- I keep hearing from so many people they're moving to Austin.

01:26:07.000 And I'm like, that's exactly why I'm not gonna do it.

01:26:10.000 Yeah, Austin.

01:26:11.000 I think the people that moved Austin, the Peter Thiel's of the world, well I don't know if he moved there, but the hymns of the world that are like, Silicon Valley's out of control, the group conformity is too much, the innovation's dying because the regular, whatever it is, right?

01:26:24.000 Housings are too high, all of this stuff, right?

01:26:26.000 So they basically all moved Austin in my, like it seems like over the last four or three years kind of thing.

01:26:31.000 And then now, it's sort of caught up where Austin's back to where Silicon Valley is now.

01:26:36.000 Right.

01:26:37.000 You know, I think it's South by Southwest, too.

01:26:40.000 I remember the first time I went to South by, I was so excited I got invited to speak.

01:26:43.000 And then I was like, this is a lie.

01:26:45.000 The whole thing was a lie.

01:26:46.000 Like, nobody cared about anything going on.

01:26:49.000 It was just an excuse to go hang out with your buddies.

01:26:51.000 It was like all these Silicon Valley dudes getting drunk.

01:26:53.000 And I was like, that's cool if that's your thing.

01:26:57.000 Dude, that's like Burning Man.

01:26:58.000 You're like, this cool hippie thing.

01:26:59.000 And you're like, everyone here works on Wall Street.

01:27:01.000 Yeah, and you show up and they're like in luxury.

01:27:03.000 That's why I have friends who are like, I love going to Burning Man.

01:27:05.000 And I'm like, they did a Quiznos commercial there, dude.

01:27:08.000 Yeah.

01:27:09.000 That's why I'm like, look.

01:27:09.000 I'm sorry, man.

01:27:11.000 I'm not hanging out with a Silicon Valley guy and this dude with moon shoes and dreadlocks on.

01:27:16.000 Yeah, no, no, no.

01:27:17.000 You know what I think would be really cool and I think we need is people need to go make their own places.

01:27:22.000 I was looking at a bunch of really small towns in the middle of nowhere that were dying out.

01:27:25.000 Yeah, that's kind of what you're doing a little bit, right?

01:27:27.000 A little bit, but... You're one step away from seasteading.

01:27:32.000 Well, I mean, that'd be cool too.

01:27:33.000 Dude, the Tim Pool complex?

01:27:35.000 Just get like a big mega yacht and just go off and be like armed guards and, you know, fight off pirates.

01:27:39.000 No, but like, wouldn't it be cool if, you know, all these rich people, they're going to Austin.

01:27:44.000 And I'm like, but why?

01:27:47.000 It's, it's, it's gonna, you give it 10 years and it'll be exactly what you left.

01:27:51.000 Because all these people are rushing, they're like, I want to go somewhere that's cool and hip and California's gross.

01:27:55.000 And it's like, dude, California had one party rule forever.

01:27:58.000 They have a supermajority in LA and they couldn't pass any of these reforms to fix their problems.

01:28:02.000 And all these people are going to go to Austin, who don't care about Austin.

01:28:05.000 They're going to go to these areas of Texas, they don't care about Texas, and you're going to get the same problem.

01:28:09.000 People move to L.A.

01:28:10.000 They're not from L.A.

01:28:11.000 So they don't care about the community's problems.

01:28:14.000 So they pass the buck, L.A. 0.98

01:28:16.000 falls to crap, and they move again. 0.98

01:28:18.000 They bounce around. 0.98

01:28:19.000 It's like the aliens from Independence Day.

01:28:22.000 You see that movie?

01:28:23.000 They come to Earth because they're going to strip it clean of resources and then leave. 0.99

01:28:27.000 So I'm just like, nah.

01:28:28.000 And I do get that because I'm not from New York and there's all this, you know, when people are like, can you believe he said that about New York?

01:28:34.000 And I was like, what do I care?

01:28:36.000 Like, I'm Canadian.

01:28:37.000 I'm like, you know, I'm here because it's like a good place to do stand up and it is a hub of the world for culture.

01:28:42.000 And I think the best comedy in the world is happening there, especially right now.

01:28:46.000 Was.

01:28:47.000 I'm half kidding.

01:28:47.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:28:48.000 I'm half kidding.

01:28:49.000 You're right.

01:28:49.000 You're right, dude.

01:28:50.000 What was that story where like a comedy club did an outdoor event and they got shut down?

01:28:55.000 Yeah, they basically allowed them and then they shut them down.

01:28:58.000 So I got an email last week from a lot of people being like, yeah, that show's canceled or whatever. 0.99

01:29:01.000 That's so dumb. 0.98

01:29:03.000 Here's what I'm saying. 1.00

01:29:04.000 They're pushing their luck.

01:29:05.000 That's what they're saying.

01:29:06.000 They go, no one's going anywhere.

01:29:08.000 And everyone's like, yeah, we kind of will, though.

01:29:10.000 Go to, I don't know, Nebraska or something.

01:29:14.000 There's tons of open space.

01:29:16.000 Build your own place.

01:29:18.000 You're moving, like, people will move for what they want to do.

01:29:20.000 I mean, I just did.

01:29:21.000 Like, I was in Toronto.

01:29:21.000 I didn't like the way that it was shaking down there.

01:29:23.000 I saw something here, and I felt like I could make a better life, and then I moved here.

01:29:27.000 See, but now, you see, this is exactly what I'm talking about, right?

01:29:29.000 See, these people, these communists in California moved to Austin, and this, like you, a Canadian communist, you moved to, I'm just kidding.

01:29:36.000 When did you come down from Canada?

01:29:38.000 Less than a year ago.

01:29:39.000 I want half your views on this.

01:29:41.000 We should split the views.

01:29:42.000 Our views.

01:29:43.000 No, yes, they are my views.

01:29:44.000 Our views.

01:29:45.000 Yes, we will split the views on this.

01:29:46.000 Our video.

01:29:47.000 Now let's get these super chats since I'm taking half of the money.

01:29:51.000 When did you come down from Canada?

01:29:52.000 Less than a year ago.

01:29:54.000 So before COVID?

01:29:55.000 Yeah, so I was here whack timing.

01:29:58.000 He snuck in.

01:29:59.000 Yeah, dude, I got, um, I came here, uh, and then I did like four or five months, you know, enough to make some, you know, meet people and get into all these comedy clubs and then boom, COVID.

01:30:09.000 Wow.

01:30:10.000 So now you're trapped.

01:30:11.000 Yeah, it's okay.

01:30:12.000 I like New York.

01:30:12.000 I mean, lots of cool stuff's happening right now.

01:30:14.000 So it's, it's fine, man.

01:30:16.000 I mean, people are innovative, right?

01:30:17.000 It's like even this go back to, listen, like what happened in the last little while the industry was so, Uh, we only want this one type of thing and then look at people like you that created your whole little empire here, right?

01:30:28.000 And I mean, same thing, the whole podcasting empire, like all of those people would have had TV shows five years ago, but they're like, we don't want this type of guy on TV.

01:30:35.000 And it's like, you know, essentially people are very inventive and especially the certain there, you know, one, I would say like one in a hundred people in America has the values of like, I'm going to accomplish what I would like to do no matter what.

01:30:47.000 And even at one in a hundred, that's three million people that are willing to do anything to get what they want, right?

01:30:54.000 So if you say, okay, we don't want this type of comedy, it's like, okay, we'll create our own thing.

01:30:58.000 And there's a lot of people that are willing to do whatever it takes in America, and I think that's one of the things I like about it here.

01:31:04.000 So do you think these big industry, like, so Netflix did have a Rogan special, they had a Dave Chappelle special, do you think these- So those are the, but those are legacy people, right?

01:31:13.000 Like there is a point- Exactly.

01:31:14.000 Where you get so big, and you know the truth is I even disagree with, not necessarily Rogan, but the way Ricky Gervais talks about cancer culture and jokes, I disagree with him, like, because his take on that sort of thing is always, Oh, it's just jokes.

01:31:26.000 Like you should be able to joke about anything, but a lot of times I'm saying these jokes and my audience knows I'm ironic and they actually know the right opinions.

01:31:33.000 So he basically says, and I know if you're in that position, he might need to say, no, I'm one of the good guys.

01:31:38.000 I'm just making jokes.

01:31:39.000 But the truth is when Ricky Gervais says that, he's like, you know, let's say he has a whole thing making fun of Caitlyn Jenner, like saying that she's not actually hot or whatever, right?

01:31:46.000 And they go, okay.

01:31:47.000 They're not laughing at that because they actually know it's wrong.

01:31:50.000 They're laughing at that because it's a little bit true and they know they're not supposed to laugh at it.

01:31:54.000 And there's a lot of components to the formula.

01:31:56.000 One of them being they're not supposed to.

01:31:58.000 One of them being like it's a little bit true but you're not supposed to say it.

01:32:01.000 And it's sometimes they are laughing at something that is like obviously not true.

01:32:05.000 You know like if I said like oh yeah I'm just very racist like everyone's like he's obviously being ironic or whatever.

01:32:10.000 So, but the way that they talk about it is they go, no, I'm playing a character and my audience is so not racist that everyone knows.

01:32:16.000 And it's like, sometimes, but sometimes you're saying uncomfortable truths.

01:32:20.000 And that's why you're getting like a laugh of people being like, that is kind of true.

01:32:23.000 And they don't take credit for that.

01:32:24.000 And because they don't take credit for that, other people kind of, uh, you know, kind of end up having to play in a dishonest ballpark because, so I, I'd rather some of those people just like, just stay out of it if you're going to lie.

01:32:37.000 You know, it's really weird.

01:32:37.000 I think somehow Trump has become the center of the cultural universe.

01:32:42.000 He has, dude.

01:32:43.000 That's why I was saying, sorry, I keep interrupting you.

01:32:45.000 No, no, no.

01:32:47.000 The funnier option forever, to me, was Trump wins again.

01:32:52.000 Of course.

01:32:52.000 Forever.

01:32:54.000 Forever.

01:32:55.000 I was like, Trump wins again, you know, meltdowns.

01:32:57.000 And then very recently I started to sort of change my brain where I go, maybe the funnier option is Trump loses.

01:33:04.000 And just think of every like anti-Trump blog, every anti-Trump blog, you know what I mean?

01:33:10.000 Every reply guy on Twitter that his whole identity is hating Trump.

01:33:14.000 I was thinking about doing a video of this actually, but like the day after Trump wins, they're just like, I guess Pat Garbage deletes his Twitter account, just walks off into the ocean.

01:33:26.000 Just slowly sinks.

01:33:27.000 That might be the funnier option now.

01:33:30.000 They're actually talking about it.

01:33:31.000 They're talking about the future after Trump.

01:33:33.000 Because all these media companies, it's just Trump.

01:33:38.000 I remember last week Trump bought the front page ad for the Washington Post online.

01:33:43.000 Every article, Trump.

01:33:45.000 And I'm like, he just bought the front page ad, dude.

01:33:47.000 You didn't need to give him every other portion of the front page.

01:33:50.000 It's like he didn't even need to buy it.

01:33:51.000 No, but he was, he was trying to push back and, and, and make, you know, Biden and Kamala look bad. 0.90

01:33:56.000 But that's, that's, I mean, what, what, I know people who have made a career, a pathetic career off of just hating Trump.

01:34:04.000 I mean, it's the oldest trick in the book to build a media company in an election cycle or whatever.

01:34:10.000 Anyone who starts a blog and all that stuff, they kind of know how you do it.

01:34:13.000 But they didn't even do that this time.

01:34:16.000 They didn't start media companies on an election cycle.

01:34:20.000 They started a media company on a guy.

01:34:23.000 That's insane!

01:34:24.000 You know, and there are some people, you know, I mean, there's that girl that's like getting

01:34:28.000 a Netflix special.

01:34:29.000 Her whole shtick is that she lip syncs like Trump speeches or whatever. 1.00

01:34:32.000 Yeah.

01:34:33.000 She didn't even write jokes. 0.99

01:34:34.000 And whatever you want to think about it, it's like, what happens like to her if Trump's

01:34:38.000 like just gone?

01:34:39.000 Yeah.

01:34:40.000 Trump's like just a guy now, you know, think about these people.

01:34:42.000 It's like, I have a whole YouTube channel about why Trump's bad.

01:34:45.000 Now he's just a guy.

01:34:46.000 They're going to keep doing it.

01:34:47.000 Yeah, they just follow him around to his house?

01:34:48.000 For real, for real, yeah.

01:34:50.000 So, uh, what is this woman's name? 0.98

01:34:52.000 Do you know her name?

01:34:52.000 Like, look what Trump ate yesterday!

01:34:54.000 Haha, he's racist, dude. 0.99

01:34:55.000 It's gonna be, like, 80-year-old Trump in a wheelchair with a blanket on his lap in the sun. 0.97

01:35:00.000 He's gonna be sitting there, and he's gonna just be, like, watching Fox News, and they're gonna be writing articles about it.

01:35:05.000 Trump reads the game.

01:35:06.000 They're gonna be like, did you see Trump's latest wheelchair? 0.76

01:35:10.000 Look at his nurse. 0.99

01:35:12.000 His latest nurse.

01:35:13.000 How old is she? 0.98

01:35:14.000 40?

01:35:14.000 Trump, going for the young women.

01:35:16.000 How despicable. 0.98

01:35:17.000 Yeah, they're gonna have to pick a new guy. 0.98

01:35:19.000 They're gonna be like, I don't know, Pence is bad.

01:35:22.000 It's not the same!

01:35:23.000 There's two things. 0.95

01:35:24.000 Pence is so boring.

01:35:26.000 They're not getting the same buzz.

01:35:28.000 There's two things, I think.

01:35:30.000 They'll still rag on Trump.

01:35:32.000 They'll try for a long time.

01:35:34.000 So they'll keep going.

01:35:35.000 The other thing is that they'll do the exact same thing they do, but without Trump.

01:35:40.000 So they'll, you know, like if you look at CNN, Who's the new boogeyman after Trump's gone?

01:35:45.000 No, but Trumpism.

01:35:46.000 It'll be about his followers.

01:35:48.000 They'll maintain the same narrative and they will just keep going after.

01:35:52.000 It's like the painting exists.

01:35:56.000 They'll take Trump out of it, but the whole landscape, it's still there.

01:35:58.000 So I think what's likely to happen is, you got these companies, CNN, their whole Sunday morning program is literally like Fox News all day every day.

01:36:07.000 And I make fun of him all the time for it, because I'm like, dude, you realize you guys are just the Fox News review channel, right?

01:36:12.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:36:12.000 Like, when I complain about the mainstream media, it's always like, it's a bunch of different outlets, and I'm complaining, and I often say, not every single journalist at these outlets, of course.

01:36:20.000 It's these, like, political, you know, politicos in the Beltway in D.C.

01:36:26.000 But they literally have a show where it's like, the dude wrote a book about Fox News!

01:36:30.000 That's all he has!

01:36:32.000 That's crazy!

01:36:34.000 And Trump, when Trump's gone, that schtick they've developed, it's not going to go away.

01:36:39.000 I mean, look, Russia, you're familiar with Russia games?

01:36:41.000 I'm not saying necessarily it'll go away.

01:36:43.000 I'm more saying that no one's going to want to watch it.

01:36:46.000 So they can keep doing it and they'll be like, we'll keep doing the plug in the model.

01:36:49.000 It's like, instead of being like, can you believe what Trump said?

01:36:51.000 They'll just have to, you know, can you believe, I don't know, like they'll pick another guy, right?

01:36:55.000 But I don't think anyone's going to care.

01:36:56.000 Like what gets the clicks is Trump goes out, says some crazy stuff, you know, And then they go, look at this crazy stuff he's saying!

01:37:03.000 And then the right-wing publications go, look at this crazy stuff they're saying!

01:37:06.000 It's not even about what Trump says.

01:37:08.000 It's like, Trump will- Stirs up some energy and they get to write an article.

01:37:11.000 They stir it up.

01:37:12.000 I mean, sometimes Trump, for sure.

01:37:13.000 Trump loves stirring- I'm almost swearing.

01:37:17.000 Trump loves to stir it up.

01:37:18.000 Yeah.

01:37:18.000 But there'll be times where, like, Trump will walk into a room and they'll go, thank you all for coming.

01:37:21.000 And they'll go- And they'll be writing like, did you hear what he said?

01:37:25.000 Thank you all.

01:37:26.000 What is you all?

01:37:27.000 Who's all?

01:37:28.000 Yeah, the soccer.

01:37:29.000 They're like soccer players that got injured.

01:37:34.000 The entire CNN organization.

01:37:37.000 That's the perfect way to explain it.

01:37:39.000 Trump walks in and pats him on the shoulder and CNN goes, oh!

01:37:41.000 They fall down and they're like, they're writing 50 articles.

01:37:46.000 What was that one article we were talking about from The Nation?

01:37:50.000 It was like they took every single possible negative stereotype about, it was like about

01:37:54.000 Ivanka or something.

01:37:55.000 Yeah, so they wrote an entire article about Ivanka's dress or something?

01:37:59.000 And it just like crammed keywords into this article where it was like, white nationalists

01:38:04.000 think that transgender feminists in the patriarchy with red dresses, and it's like, it was very 1.00

01:38:09.000 clearly a nonsensical article, had no premise, and they stuffed all the keywords into it

01:38:14.000 so they could put it on Google and Google would prop it up.

01:38:16.000 Yeah.

01:38:16.000 That's like, that's the name of the game.

01:38:18.000 But no, I think- That's wild.

01:38:20.000 It is funny.

01:38:20.000 I'll tell you this.

01:38:21.000 When Trump won in 2016, I laughed harder than I've laughed.

01:38:24.000 It was like one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

01:38:26.000 It was because, for one, for me, it was like cathartic.

01:38:30.000 The Democrats getting comeuppance, you know?

01:38:33.000 They cheated Bernie.

01:38:33.000 They thought they were going to win.

01:38:34.000 They made fun of Trump.

01:38:35.000 They mocked his supporters.

01:38:36.000 Did anyone puritanical like losing the battle that it paints their entire identity of?

01:38:41.000 It's always like, heh heh.

01:38:43.000 And so right now, you bring up an interesting point.

01:38:45.000 Because I've said this too, I've said if Biden wins, I'm just going to laugh.

01:38:48.000 I'm going to laugh really, really hard.

01:38:49.000 Yeah.

01:38:50.000 Funny either way, I think at this point.

01:38:52.000 I'm worried.

01:38:53.000 So I'm going to be voting for Trump.

01:38:54.000 And the riots are the main... Are you going full MAGA?

01:38:57.000 You get a MAGA beanie?

01:38:58.000 No MAGA.

01:38:58.000 People want me to wear that.

01:38:59.000 Dude, that'd be so funny.

01:39:00.000 I don't like voting.

01:39:01.000 I don't like supporting any tribe or any party or anything like that.

01:39:03.000 But I'll tell you this.

01:39:04.000 With all the riots, especially how bad it was last night, the only reason the Democrats came out now... This is so messed up.

01:39:11.000 They've been saying peaceful protests over and over again, nonstop.

01:39:14.000 And then Don Lemon comes out on CNN and he's like, this is starting to show up in the polls.

01:39:19.000 Democrats better address it. 0.91

01:39:20.000 It's like, oh, is that the only thing you cared about?

01:39:24.000 That made me angry.

01:39:25.000 And so, you know, seeing all this this death, 32 people have died.

01:39:28.000 I'm just like, they keep lying about this.

01:39:30.000 And Trump keeps saying we got to stop the violence.

01:39:33.000 And when they don't do it, they blame him for it.

01:39:35.000 And I'm like, the president doesn't have the right to intervene in the states and localities.

01:39:39.000 That's local law enforcement.

01:39:41.000 And Trump keeps saying, please, I've got law enforcement, you can use them, and they say, no, more people die.

01:39:45.000 Please, National Guard, no, more people die.

01:39:48.000 Finally now, they're starting to say yes.

01:39:50.000 And so that pissed me off.

01:39:51.000 So now I'm like, you know what, man?

01:39:54.000 I'm gonna vote for Trump.

01:39:55.000 I think he wants to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan.

01:39:58.000 He wants to do term limits.

01:39:59.000 He wants to end the riots.

01:40:01.000 He wants to prosecute these extremists.

01:40:03.000 Fine, whatever, I'm done with these.

01:40:04.000 I heard he was gonna remove the women's vote, which is a nice... 1.00

01:40:07.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:40:08.000 Straight up.

01:40:09.000 Yeah.

01:40:09.000 Number one agenda repeal the 19th.

01:40:11.000 Yeah, there is a third party.

01:40:12.000 And I don't know if you know this, Tim, but I've also decided I was going to run for president as the first president exclusively for the boys.

01:40:18.000 Oh, yeah.

01:40:18.000 Yeah.

01:40:18.000 I don't know if you guys heard this.

01:40:20.000 Men will pay no taxes and that will girls will pay double the taxes. 1.00

01:40:24.000 Yeah, because girls have cooties. 1.00

01:40:26.000 No girlfriends are allowed to take their boyfriends on Saturdays.

01:40:29.000 So that's my platform.

01:40:30.000 I love it.

01:40:31.000 I'm going to need you to speak to some of your friends at Google and high up places because as a Canadian they have banned me from running.

01:40:38.000 So we're working on that detail.

01:40:41.000 There was an op-ed in the Washington Post saying that we should remove the natural born citizen requirement.

01:40:45.000 No, I'm like, get out of here, get out of here.

01:40:48.000 I do not get out of here.

01:40:49.000 So get back in here. 1.00

01:40:52.000 I do think it's fun.

01:40:54.000 If Biden wins, I'm going to laugh.

01:40:57.000 You know why?

01:40:57.000 Because I'm not the kind of person who's going to sulk and cry.

01:41:02.000 I'm going to laugh and be like, this is a crazy Yeah, dude, you're also like a cultural commentator.

01:41:07.000 I think that your personal viewpoint is like a percentage of what you do, but I don't think that influences you entirely.

01:41:16.000 Well, you know, I think everything I say about everything is exactly what I believe.

01:41:20.000 It's just raw consciousness.

01:41:21.000 Yeah, but if you're talking about the facts of something, I don't know if you're... Will, you tell me, like when you're talking about something, do you consider that you're like, this is what I think?

01:41:29.000 Or do you sometimes be like, no, I'm telling you what happened?

01:41:33.000 Well, yeah.

01:41:33.000 So a lot of the articles I do, I'm like, here's the story, here's what I think.

01:41:36.000 And then here's what I think.

01:41:38.000 But everything I think is literally what I think.

01:41:40.000 And I don't want Biden to win.

01:41:42.000 I think he's... I don't think he's all with it.

01:41:45.000 That's worrying to me.

01:41:46.000 No, I mean, understatement of the year.

01:41:49.000 For sure, for sure.

01:41:50.000 Come on, man!

01:41:52.000 He's like Cosmic Joe.

01:41:54.000 He's in outer space at the time.

01:41:55.000 Yeah, both these guys are like a thousand years old, but Trump's way more with it.

01:41:59.000 For sure, for sure.

01:42:00.000 And as far as I'm concerned, he's the one who's been consistent on... Look, we had a great first three years with the economy, and so I give him credit for that.

01:42:08.000 He's improved a bit.

01:42:09.000 But anyway, the point I was trying to bring up is not to be like, yay Trump, just to be like...

01:42:13.000 I'm not gonna, if Trump wins, I'm gonna be like, wow.

01:42:17.000 Because the thing that scares me the most is that all this wokeness stuff that we've been making fun of and laughing about, it's infecting these government agencies.

01:42:26.000 It's already happened, yeah.

01:42:27.000 You know the CDC?

01:42:28.000 10% of their staff demanded a nationwide health crisis.

01:42:33.000 They want racism to be declared a nationwide health crisis.

01:42:36.000 Yeah, I know. 10%.

01:42:38.000 People don't realize, man, you get 10% of a staff, and I was reading a study that said 10% is all you need for an ideology to dominate a culture.

01:42:45.000 So if the CDC actually starts enforcing this insanity, it's like, you've got some Democratic politicians calling on Joe Biden to condemn the people defending property, not the extremists who are burning it down.

01:42:55.000 Right.

01:42:56.000 That scares me.

01:42:57.000 And I think we're headed towards, like, you know, dark times.

01:43:00.000 But I'll tell you what, I'm leaving where I'm at, and all you can do is, like, I think a lot of times all you can do is laugh.

01:43:08.000 Yeah, I mean, that's pretty good.

01:43:09.000 So if Biden won, I'd laugh.

01:43:11.000 And it's not because— That's the purpose of laughter, like, in the first place, from a legitimate, you know, evolutionary level.

01:43:17.000 It's like, when things get too bad, it's like, you can release pressure, and that's what it is, right?

01:43:21.000 Right, right, right, right.

01:43:22.000 So either way, no matter who wins, I'm going to go out to the middle of nowhere, I'm going to get some goats and some chickens and just like kick back and grow some tomatoes or whatever.

01:43:29.000 Wait for that call to go to the vice, one last job. 0.86

01:43:31.000 One last job, Tim.

01:43:33.000 Open the big briefcase with one little tiny one.

01:43:35.000 Like the amount of times people kind of say, you know, I'm making all these videos about this stuff and this, the people that are kind of wrapped up in this go, oh, as if it's like that.

01:43:35.000 No, but you are right.

01:43:43.000 And then the rest of the world messaged me like, it's exactly like that.

01:43:47.000 Yeah.

01:43:48.000 You know, I've been working at these companies.

01:43:49.000 It's insane how pervasive it is.

01:43:51.000 It's getting worse.

01:43:52.000 So unless we straight up say, no.

01:43:54.000 Hard no. 1.00

01:43:57.000 Yeah, and everyone kind of has, but it's, you know, it's, again, it's, it's hard to fight if you're a normal person, because it's one thing where you say, oh, you know, this guy disagrees with me.

01:44:07.000 It's another thing where they go, this guy is racist.

01:44:09.000 And a normal person goes, what?

01:44:10.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:44:11.000 I'm not.

01:44:11.000 And they go, yeah, he's transphobic.

01:44:13.000 And you're like, like, they don't, you know, if you're just some guy working at some job, it's hard to deal with this stuff.

01:44:18.000 If Trump wins every state, I think it'll be the end of the woke insurrection, whatever.

01:44:24.000 Really?

01:44:24.000 It could go the other way though, right?

01:44:26.000 Because a lot of this is a temper tantrum, right?

01:44:28.000 That's why I was saying one of the things I was going to do a video about being the first president that runs exclusively on 20-year-old girl opinions, the lifeblood of the media. 0.71

01:44:36.000 Seriously.

01:44:36.000 A lot of these candidates have 10% 20-year-old girl opinions.

01:44:38.000 I have all 21-year-old girl opinions.

01:44:42.000 But it is kind of that, right?

01:44:44.000 So, I don't know.

01:44:45.000 It's a temper tantrum.

01:44:47.000 You've got a small group, but it's growing.

01:44:50.000 And they are dominating our cultural institutions, our big media brands, our advertisers, our news outlets.

01:44:58.000 But they don't make up anywhere near the majority.

01:45:00.000 They probably just barely cracked the double digits.

01:45:03.000 They make up probably the majority of the institutions, you know, whether that be Hollywood.

01:45:07.000 No, no, I don't think so.

01:45:09.000 You don't think in the universities?

01:45:11.000 I think it's a strong enough percentage and they're terroristic.

01:45:14.000 And so they get what they want whenever they want.

01:45:16.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:45:17.000 So that's why there are professors who get fired.

01:45:21.000 Because some people will stand up and say no and they'll get kicked out.

01:45:24.000 Based professors.

01:45:25.000 Well, Brett Weinstein, you know his story with Evergreen.

01:45:28.000 Yeah, of course.

01:45:29.000 I did an interview with James Lindsay about it.

01:45:31.000 Yeah, so you know Brett's he's he's a progressive guy, but he's not insane like these people are so I think it is funny How guys like that kind of got thrown into like the bad boy thing?

01:45:41.000 Yeah, but he's still wearing like khaki shorts, right?

01:45:43.000 You know he's kind of showing up like the bad boy University professor, and he's got like the polo shirt in the cat Not not not sandals and socks not considered to be like a celebrity hip guy, but you know he's alright, right and But imagine this.

01:45:57.000 They put up their Black Lives Matter message.

01:45:57.000 Netflix, right?

01:45:59.000 What do you think happens when everyone looks at the election results and it's just like, Trump, 50 states, sweet.

01:46:04.000 Then these companies are going to be like, we're marketing to the wrong people.

01:46:06.000 Do you think that's possible?

01:46:08.000 Yeah.

01:46:08.000 Right now they're saying he's going to lose, but the polls are always going wrong.

01:46:11.000 No, right now Trump's winning.

01:46:13.000 Did it just switch?

01:46:14.000 So, several polls have come out recently.

01:46:17.000 Trump's ahead in Wisconsin, and he's trailing Biden in 15 battleground states, according to CNN, by one point, with a four-point margin of error.

01:46:24.000 So, actually, I think I might... It's so hard to get information right now.

01:46:27.000 You turn on one thing, and it's like... Yeah, people are scared, dude.

01:46:30.000 We got this tweet.

01:46:30.000 This is from Walker Bragman.

01:46:33.000 Who's this guy?

01:46:34.000 He's a journalist for, I don't know, I don't know, a podcast.

01:46:37.000 But check this out.

01:46:38.000 He says, August 24th, 2016.

01:46:39.000 In Wisconsin, Clinton's up 11.5.

01:46:43.000 Pennsylvania, 9.2.

01:46:44.000 North Carolina, 1.7.

01:46:45.000 Florida, 3.6.

01:46:46.000 Michigan, 8.

01:46:47.000 Ohio, 4.8.

01:46:49.000 Joe Biden's margins today are lower than Clinton's.

01:46:51.000 Why did you think this changed?

01:46:53.000 Like, why did, why did Trump go back up?

01:46:56.000 Uh, Joe Biden's been hiding in the basement.

01:46:58.000 And I'm not kidding, he's literally in his home basement.

01:47:01.000 He's hiding, and the riots have been getting worse.

01:47:04.000 We just had two guys killed yesterday, and Joe Biden was hiding in his basement.

01:47:08.000 Donald Trump was tweeting up a storm.

01:47:10.000 So you can complain about Trump, you know, in his obnoxious tweets, but he's there.

01:47:15.000 Joe Biden came out with a statement today that was bland and nonsensical.

01:47:19.000 We must get justice for this man and, you know, violence doesn't solve anything.

01:47:23.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:47:24.000 John Biden comes out with a statement.

01:47:26.000 He's like, I'd like to make a statement.

01:47:27.000 We here at the House are out of peanut butter, if anyone... Please help us.

01:47:32.000 Look fat.

01:47:33.000 We've got only about two tablespoons left.

01:47:37.000 And my pants are wet.

01:47:40.000 I don't know why.

01:47:42.000 Where's Jill? 1.00

01:47:42.000 Poor Joe. 1.00

01:47:43.000 Poor Joe.

01:47:45.000 So so this I have run out of denture cream.

01:47:48.000 If anyone would be as so kind as to bring me some more.

01:47:51.000 I have a Zoom interview with Charlamagne.

01:47:54.000 Trump.

01:47:55.000 Yeah.

01:47:55.000 Trump is Trump's old, but like he doesn't come off like Biden does.

01:48:00.000 I don't know.

01:48:01.000 I wish I hope when I'm like Trump's age, I'm that chipper.

01:48:04.000 Yeah, dude.

01:48:05.000 I guess.

01:48:06.000 What's Trump?

01:48:06.000 Seventy four.

01:48:07.000 He's up.

01:48:08.000 He's spry.

01:48:08.000 Yeah.

01:48:09.000 You know, I mean, Joe Biden is like, oh, So anyway, there's a lot of reasons why Trump's been improving in the polls.

01:48:15.000 There's two things.

01:48:16.000 Not only is the race tightening, this is probably because Biden is, in my opinion, not actually running.

01:48:24.000 I mean, he's literally running, but he's not campaigning, he's not doing anything.

01:48:27.000 I mean, they're buying ads, but come on.

01:48:28.000 He's not making appearances, he's not rallying, he's not going out.

01:48:31.000 And politics is a ground game.

01:48:33.000 You gotta go out there, you gotta meet people, you gotta shake babies and kiss hands, if you know what I mean.

01:48:37.000 I'm kidding, the other way around.

01:48:40.000 He's doing the like, I hope Trump just screws up so bad that they're like, all right, enough of this.

01:48:44.000 I don't. 1.00

01:48:45.000 I think they're completely inept. 0.98

01:48:47.000 I think the challenge right now for the Democrats is that you got riots where people are dying. 0.99

01:48:51.000 32 people.

01:48:53.000 And the guy just got shot.

01:48:54.000 We were just talking about.

01:48:55.000 Yeah.

01:48:56.000 Well, two guys.

01:48:56.000 And so you've got the far left that.

01:49:00.000 endorses this stuff.

01:49:01.000 They love it.

01:49:01.000 Yeah, they're stoked.

01:49:03.000 When the looting happened in Chicago, Black Lives Matter came out and said, good. 0.95

01:49:07.000 What they did was reparations.

01:49:09.000 I'm glad.

01:49:10.000 Good for them.

01:49:11.000 So what's Joe Biden supposed to say?

01:49:12.000 The riots are bad.

01:49:14.000 Then he's going to lose half of the left.

01:49:15.000 He's going to lose all these young, woke far leftists.

01:49:18.000 If he comes out and says the riots are good, then he's going to lose everybody to Trump.

01:49:23.000 So he's just like, I don't know what to do.

01:49:25.000 So he just hides in the basement.

01:49:26.000 I guess the idea is, I mean, I kind of argued this a little bit different than what you're saying is that, because I felt a lot of people on the internet are kind of saying, you know, uh, and I, and I do see it that Kamala was a bad choice, but I have had some people in normal life that are kind of your middle of the road swing voters and they see Kamala as like, Oh, someone sensible.

01:49:45.000 So I think there are some people that are kind of, I was, I was talking to some family members who said that, you know what I mean?

01:49:49.000 Yeah.

01:49:50.000 In the Chicago suburbs, they're looking at Kamala as like, Oh, thank heavens.

01:49:53.000 The Democrats have brought in someone who can stop the riots.

01:49:56.000 100%.

01:49:56.000 Some people see it as like, okay, she's not a crazy radical.

01:50:00.000 I'm not going to vote for her.

01:50:02.000 I'm here to vote for a president, not for an old feeble man who's going to hire someone to do the job for him. 1.00

01:50:08.000 Look, I don't like Kamala Harris. 1.00

01:50:09.000 I think she's awful. 0.94

01:50:09.000 I think she's an authoritarian. 0.94

01:50:11.000 And a lot of people like that.

01:50:13.000 She's going to do something.

01:50:14.000 And they don't like Trump.

01:50:15.000 So I think right now, it's close.

01:50:19.000 It's a close race with Trump, according to these polls.

01:50:22.000 I think Trump's in the lead based off of the Beltway bubble, which is these journalists who only follow each other.

01:50:27.000 And I think the polls are skewed because they don't know how to pull Trump's base.

01:50:30.000 And that was true in 2016 and they admit it's true today.

01:50:33.000 They don't know what to do.

01:50:33.000 No, you can't trust these polls as far as you can throw them.

01:50:36.000 But when the polls are coming out now saying Trump's within the margin of error, then it's probably he's several points up.

01:50:42.000 And I just can't believe that with the riots going on for three months... Have you heard any of these C-SPAN phone calls?

01:50:49.000 These people call in and this lady's like, We've had riots in my town. 1.00

01:50:53.000 I'm in Minnesota, in Minneapolis, and the Democrats didn't say anything about it.

01:50:57.000 What about us?

01:50:58.000 She's like, within two days of the Republican convention, I feel like there's hope again to, like, deal with this.

01:51:03.000 And the guy on C-SPAN asked her, like, are you scared of the riots?

01:51:05.000 And she's like, yes!

01:51:06.000 Yeah, no, some people are.

01:51:08.000 I think most people are.

01:51:09.000 I mean, lots of people have said this, that Trump's just going to be like, yeah, I'm just going to get things back to normal so no one's smashing your windows.

01:51:14.000 And everyone's like, yeah, all in, dude.

01:51:16.000 That's enough.

01:51:17.000 But it is true what you're saying.

01:51:19.000 You know how we're saying that if Trump loses all these people, you're like, what did he even talk about?

01:51:25.000 It's the same kind of thing as if the left just said, yeah, remember, we got a little out of hand.

01:51:30.000 We're not going to do this identity politics stuff anymore.

01:51:32.000 We're not going to tell everyone that they're racist.

01:51:34.000 Everyone be like, all right, you're back in and then the right would be like, because there's a lot of right there's just like, yo, this stuff's whack.

01:51:41.000 So but all it takes is they wouldn't be that hard for them to do that, but they won't.

01:51:45.000 Right.

01:51:45.000 So it's just too ingrained.

01:51:47.000 They're too crazy. 0.77

01:51:48.000 People are too sick of that stuff. 0.98

01:51:50.000 Gallup poll shows that the dominant wing of the Democratic Party is the strong liberal or whatever.

01:51:56.000 So the moderate and conservative Democrats of the past 10, 20, 30 years, they're gone.

01:52:01.000 They probably joined the Republican Party because we see that data too.

01:52:04.000 And they're not going to give it up because these young people who are starting to take over, they're in the cult.

01:52:09.000 Dude, I see so many young people that are like 20, that they don't even care about politics.

01:52:14.000 They're just like, yo, I'm a Trump guy.

01:52:15.000 That's hilarious. 0.98

01:52:16.000 The same way that, you know, if your parents or like your millennial parents are like, Trump's the devil. 1.00

01:52:22.000 If you like Trump, you're the worst. 0.98

01:52:24.000 And you're like, yo, give me a mega hat. 0.99

01:52:25.000 My mom's gonna be so pissed. 1.00

01:52:28.000 Well, there's the inverse to that. 1.00

01:52:29.000 The MAGA parents and the kids being like, F you, Trump sucks. 0.99

01:52:32.000 And then they go on, post their TikToks and stuff. 1.00

01:52:34.000 For sure.

01:52:34.000 But I think it's more the other way around because the, the pervasive, like it, it's, it's different because it's everyone's, it's your parents are also saying the same thing that everyone's saying.

01:52:47.000 Yeah.

01:52:48.000 You know, it's more like before, if you had liberal parents, it's like, I don't think you would have done this.

01:52:52.000 Right.

01:52:52.000 Exactly.

01:52:53.000 You know, it used to work the other way. 0.99

01:52:55.000 Like you had the religious parents and you're like, I'm actually going to be a prostitute. 0.98

01:52:58.000 Now you've got like this 16 year old kid whose mom is like super anti-Trump. 0.97

01:53:03.000 Yeah, she's religious about Trump.

01:53:05.000 And he walks in with the hat and she's like, what are you doing, Billy? 0.99

01:53:08.000 And he goes, shut up, mom. 0.99

01:53:09.000 Trump 2020. 0.97

01:53:09.000 And she's like, I'm listening to the boss. 0.97

01:53:14.000 Can you imagine though if you had a mom like and you came in and you go just so you know There's no such thing as gender and you're like mom.

01:53:20.000 I'm a boy and you're like, no I'm a boy.

01:53:24.000 No, you're not. 1.00

01:53:25.000 I do not have a son You might be gay Stop being a bigot Open your heart Mom, stop. 1.00

01:53:36.000 This is my girlfriend. 1.00

01:53:37.000 You got to bring home your, you know, to that.

01:53:39.000 Your mom comes home and she's like, uh, this is my mom.

01:53:42.000 And she's like, mom.

01:53:43.000 And you're like, this, this is my parent.

01:53:45.000 She doesn't identify as a mom or dad.

01:53:47.000 Parental figure number one.

01:53:48.000 Yeah.

01:53:48.000 You'd be so afraid to ever bring your, like you would rebel against that so hard.

01:53:53.000 Embarrassing you.

01:53:54.000 Yeah.

01:53:54.000 I would be going to school with an American flag on my back if I was that guy.

01:53:58.000 You're Canadian.

01:53:59.000 Even in Canada.

01:54:00.000 I'd be full in.

01:54:02.000 I'd be Macho Man Randy Savage with a flag on my back.

01:54:06.000 Let's read Super Chats!

01:54:08.000 Can I grab a water before we do it?

01:54:11.000 Or any drink whatsoever.

01:54:12.000 Go grab it.

01:54:13.000 Can I grab it for you?

01:54:14.000 Yes, that'd be awesome.

01:54:15.000 Let me grab it for you.

01:54:18.000 All right, while that water's... Okay, perfect.

01:54:21.000 Actually, yeah, let's wait till the water comes.

01:54:22.000 We're going to sit in silence for about two minutes.

01:54:25.000 Let's get this H2O up.

01:54:26.000 OMGtrey says, boys, boys, boys, boys, Ryan, does everyone in a ska band get a Walt Jabsko tattoo?

01:54:33.000 What's a Walt Jabsko tattoo?

01:54:34.000 I have no idea.

01:54:35.000 No, this is a selector.

01:54:36.000 I think this is... Is that because you were in a ska band?

01:54:39.000 Yeah, but that's a fast-forward selector.

01:54:41.000 You know, the specials and all that stuff.

01:54:43.000 No, I don't know what it is.

01:54:45.000 No, it's, uh, Selector was like a, it's like a label and like a movement of, uh, Scott.

01:54:50.000 So this is like the two-tone guy.

01:54:52.000 Oh, there you go.

01:54:52.000 Skanking, if you know what that is.

01:54:54.000 Yes, skanking.

01:54:54.000 It's what, uh, how you dance and also what girls all do.

01:54:58.000 Oh, I see how it is.

01:54:59.000 Kim and Lids, keep up the good work. 1.00

01:55:01.000 Spin that UFO.

01:55:02.000 Much love from Delaware, right across the bridge.

01:55:03.000 Keep it up.

01:55:04.000 Appreciate it.

01:55:04.000 All right, let's see what else we got.

01:55:06.000 MD Monroe says, love the work you are all doing.

01:55:09.000 The race baiting by the media has hurt the fabric of the country.

01:55:11.000 How do we hold the media accountable?

01:55:13.000 Should we?

01:55:14.000 I'm torn due to freedom of the press, but they've turned into propaganda machines versus news.

01:55:19.000 I think they're going to fade out.

01:55:20.000 I think they're going to fizzle out.

01:55:21.000 I think they're going to go, because I think they're trying to master race baiting.

01:55:26.000 Drop the race. 0.69

01:55:28.000 Wait, what?

01:55:28.000 Oh, I see how it is.

01:55:29.000 Yeah.

01:55:29.000 All right.

01:55:30.000 So, so social media is meritocracy.

01:55:30.000 All right.

01:55:30.000 Right.

01:55:34.000 Your videos were good.

01:55:35.000 It's great.

01:55:36.000 It's fun that it exists, right?

01:55:38.000 You get to do your thing and people find it and you can actually build an audience.

01:55:43.000 It really is changing the game.

01:55:45.000 The way that I see it is that it's shaking down.

01:55:47.000 You already see it with people like you, people that are doing paywalls.

01:55:50.000 I bet you it's only a matter of time before you're like, I'll have four people on my different channels.

01:55:56.000 Eventually, I was thinking about this, I bet you People will start these movements and you see it in podcasting, these little networks, and eventually Amazon and these streaming services will kind of be like, you know what?

01:56:07.000 We'll get the Andrew Schultz channel and we'll have his five things on there.

01:56:11.000 And I think it's going to go that way.

01:56:12.000 Here's the problem with Netflix or any other network.

01:56:14.000 You'll be able to buy the Tim Poole channel.

01:56:16.000 If any network comes to me and they're like, yo, we want the exclusive rights to your show.

01:56:20.000 I'd be like, I mean, look, you know, Rogan did it with Spotify.

01:56:22.000 Yeah.

01:56:23.000 But I just be like, why?

01:56:25.000 I'm good.

01:56:26.000 Well, I think in that case, obviously, the Y is 200 milli.

01:56:30.000 Oh, is that what it was?

01:56:31.000 Was it reported?

01:56:33.000 Yeah.

01:56:33.000 Oh, wow.

01:56:34.000 This is pretty public.

01:56:35.000 No, Joe messaged me personally and just told me that.

01:56:37.000 Oh, well, there you go.

01:56:37.000 We got an inside source.

01:56:39.000 No, that was pretty public information.

01:56:40.000 Yeah, I guess if a network came to me, look, man.

01:56:42.000 That changed your mind, eh?

01:56:43.000 No, no, no, no.

01:56:44.000 That's the thing.

01:56:44.000 If they get into the game late, they gotta drop off a bag of cash.

01:56:46.000 I was gonna say the inverse.

01:56:47.000 I was gonna say, I guess if these networks came to me and they offered me that much money, I'd be like, What's my freedom worth?

01:56:53.000 I can do whatever I want.

01:56:54.000 That's it.

01:56:55.000 That's the price.

01:56:56.000 I don't know, man.

01:56:56.000 Look, people don't realize this.

01:56:58.000 I think he negotiated a deal where he's free still.

01:57:01.000 I jokingly say I'm a socialist, but I'm not... What would I do with $200 million?

01:57:07.000 Give it away?

01:57:07.000 No, I know.

01:57:10.000 I know people who are really wealthy, and I'm like, what do you do?

01:57:12.000 What do you do with all that money?

01:57:14.000 I'm the exact same way, dude.

01:57:16.000 I've had times in my life where I...

01:57:19.000 Especially working in entertainment, there's always big pockets where you make a lot of money in one little chunk.

01:57:25.000 And I don't even go out for a nicer dinner that day.

01:57:27.000 I make zero changes, I don't wear different clothes, I don't buy a new car.

01:57:31.000 I'm just not that person.

01:57:32.000 Kraft macaroni and cheese, nothing in it, not even salt.

01:57:35.000 Yeah, not even salt.

01:57:36.000 Wieners, Canadian style.

01:57:38.000 Dude, seriously, it's like having a good day, make a bunch of money, and then I, okay, I look at it.

01:57:43.000 Just put it in the bank.

01:57:44.000 Yeah, go to the comedy club and tell jokes again.

01:57:46.000 I don't know, I don't care.

01:57:47.000 You know what I would do?

01:57:49.000 Like, heaven forbid these uptight, stodgy moralists ever saw me get $200 million. 0.90

01:57:56.000 Because I would, like, build a massive, like... Beanie rack.

01:58:00.000 Yes!

01:58:00.000 And I'd just have all different colors.

01:58:02.000 No, no.

01:58:03.000 How do you describe it?

01:58:04.000 It would be kind of like Disneyland, but for just, like...

01:58:08.000 I don't know.

01:58:09.000 Weird shenanigans.

01:58:11.000 We have, like, our own space, you know?

01:58:12.000 I get, like, a bunch of big warehouses.

01:58:13.000 I have people just do whatever they want.

01:58:15.000 Some people would be making, like, laser-induced plasma channels.

01:58:18.000 Basically the warehouse from Tony Hawk Pro Skater.

01:58:21.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:58:22.000 People make music.

01:58:23.000 I mean, that's kind of what I'm doing.

01:58:25.000 You're already doing that, exactly.

01:58:27.000 You don't need 200 million bucks for that.

01:58:29.000 You know what the challenge is with having all this money is that you can't... There is a limit to where it's like, what do you really want to do?

01:58:35.000 Because...

01:58:36.000 I like to imagine that you make a bunch of money and you're like, now I can help people do better.

01:58:40.000 Yeah.

01:58:41.000 But you can't.

01:58:42.000 Giving money to somebody doesn't help them do better.

01:58:44.000 Giving money to someone that's doing, someone like you would?

01:58:47.000 No.

01:58:48.000 There's, there's like, I really don't believe there's any amount of money someone could give me that would improve the work I do.

01:58:52.000 Well, I'll tell you a perfect example.

01:58:53.000 Like there's, you know, right now where I'm at, there's a lot of people and I kind of have thought that too.

01:58:58.000 A lot of people, I was talking about this, but a lot of people were like, Oh, I want to like invest in you.

01:59:01.000 And you're like, invest in what?

01:59:02.000 Like my SpongeBob SquarePants costume.

01:59:05.000 Like what are you investing in?

01:59:06.000 Right.

01:59:06.000 But then, you know, there was some guys that actually came to me and they're like, let's make a movie.

01:59:09.000 And it's like kind of serious and they're put together this budget.

01:59:12.000 And so now, you know, I might make this movie.

01:59:15.000 Right.

01:59:16.000 Things like that.

01:59:17.000 Obviously most people, I get what you're saying, most people you'll give them money and they'll blow it and whatever, but you pick the right person and you're like, here's money and funding to make a movie outside of the system.

01:59:27.000 So you can.

01:59:28.000 Pick the right guy.

01:59:28.000 That's the Silicon Valley startup model.

01:59:30.000 I guess one way to put it is it's not easy.

01:59:33.000 You try to invest in people and I think the challenge I find is...

01:59:37.000 I've worked with a lot of people, and I'll be like, okay, so I can help you do these things, but if they don't fight for it and earn it themselves, you know, so I've met a lot of people who are like, I really want to do X, and then I'll be like, great, let's go, and then they just go, oh, I guess I didn't want to do it.

01:59:51.000 Well, why don't you do XXX, and here's the money.

01:59:55.000 I got a black leather couch right over there in the room.

01:59:59.000 We are so far from family-friendly for this episode.

02:00:02.000 Really?

02:00:02.000 We never swore, though.

02:00:03.000 No, but you talked about dudes on mountaintops putting on wigs.

02:00:10.000 What is wrong with dudes on mountaintops?

02:00:12.000 Nothing wrong with that.

02:00:14.000 So anyway, the point is... I know what you're saying, yeah.

02:00:17.000 Unless you like want to build a town or something.

02:00:20.000 You know what I would say the answer to that is?

02:00:22.000 Is you need to find people that have failed at it themselves a few times and then had success at it a few times.

02:00:28.000 Exactly.

02:00:28.000 So it's like you have both failed and succeeded and then replicated the success.

02:00:34.000 That's who you want to invest in.

02:00:36.000 I will absolutely clarify.

02:00:37.000 What I mean to say is...

02:00:40.000 Obviously, if somebody's like, you know, there's a comedian who just got evicted and now they can't find any work and they've got no cash, money clearly helps them succeed.

02:00:50.000 It doesn't help them succeed, it just helps them, you know.

02:00:52.000 It stabilizes them.

02:00:54.000 What I mean to say is that if you had all this money to invest in a project, it's really, really difficult to find people where you can give them money and it's going to make the project happen.

02:01:01.000 Because most people I've met, and this is even true for me when I was younger, like, you put me in this position, you put anyone in this position, they have no experience in how to make it happen, it's not going to happen.

02:01:09.000 And so this is why investors, it's really funny, they say, investors typically invest in people who don't need it.

02:01:13.000 Yeah.

02:01:14.000 And that's why it's really, really difficult.

02:01:16.000 And that's why it ends up with someone like Joe Rogan, who doesn't need the money, being like, sure, why not?

02:01:20.000 Yeah, of course.

02:01:21.000 So it's like, I guess.

02:01:23.000 You want to invest in people that would have been successful with or without you, and you just make them the best solver to be involved in it.

02:01:29.000 Yeah.

02:01:30.000 Matt Cabral says, Love all your stuff, Ryan.

02:01:34.000 Tim and Lydia, I'm from Massachusetts and I have never seen more Trump gear flags and signs.

02:01:40.000 There was even a Trump gear store opened.

02:01:43.000 I see many people coming in and out.

02:01:44.000 I'm calling a landslide in Massachusetts for Trump.

02:01:46.000 Yeah, when I was traveling through the, I don't know, I guess it would, not the South, but I went to Nashville and we kept stopping at places and there'd be like a place that just sold like briskets and then it was a one little brisket thing and then racks and racks of Trump gear.

02:02:03.000 I know how you have that, like the Biden life size, life size Trump posters everywhere.

02:02:08.000 Yeah, they just, it was just We got a life-size Trump.

02:02:10.000 Yeah, and it would just be like with lights.

02:02:12.000 So yeah, I've seen that too.

02:02:14.000 That's amazing.

02:02:14.000 Just the amount of Trump stuff everywhere decked out.

02:02:18.000 That's awesome.

02:02:18.000 It's so fun.

02:02:19.000 I love it.

02:02:20.000 The Civic Nationalist says, Tim, porn stars want your contact information.

02:02:24.000 That's the video, yeah.

02:02:26.000 You should advocate civic nationalism.

02:02:28.000 It's how the West was before all this BS.

02:02:30.000 Freedom over equality.

02:02:31.000 Too big of words for me, nerd.

02:02:34.000 We're gonna read more superchats, but you should probably shout out your socials, your channel stuff.

02:02:38.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:02:39.000 If you don't mind, if you'd be so kind and much obliged to go subscribe to my channel, youtube.com slash ryanlongcomedy.

02:02:47.000 I release a video every single Monday.

02:02:49.000 All of my channels are at ryanlongcomedy on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, all of those.

02:02:56.000 And my podcast, The Boys Cast with Ryan Long, comes out every Friday.

02:03:01.000 And more importantly, the most potentially most importantly, which is very important because Tim, I didn't tell you this, but I missed my train on the way here so then I Ubered and I took a $500 Uber.

02:03:12.000 But your fans are gonna make up to me by subscribing to patreon.com slash the boys cast.

02:03:18.000 I see how this works.

02:03:19.000 Patreon.com slash the boys cast.

02:03:21.000 No, it was just, it was getting stressful so I was just like, you know what, I'm just gonna call it.

02:03:24.000 Was it really that expensive?

02:03:25.000 I think it was like $400.

02:03:25.000 Oh my gosh!

02:03:27.000 Listen, I invested in Smith & Wesson yesterday on my buddy's advice, and I put some cash in there, and they're like, whoo, take a peek at that puppy.

02:03:35.000 So, covered six Ubers.

02:03:37.000 There you go.

02:03:37.000 No, actually, it covered zero Ubers.

02:03:39.000 I invested in my Patreon.

02:03:40.000 Appreciate that.

02:03:41.000 Josh Wishart said, yes, Ryan is awesome.

02:03:45.000 Thank you very much, Josh.

02:03:46.000 Not a question, but...

02:03:49.000 Julio Vilalta says, hey from Chicago, love the show and happy you hit 1 million subs.

02:03:53.000 Chicago's already prepping for a rough weekend with streets barricaded in Gold Coast. 0.99

02:03:57.000 Keep up the great work.

02:03:58.000 Yes, congrats on 1 million subs, too, by the way.

02:04:00.000 And congrats, Chicago, for all the civil unrest, destruction, and death.

02:04:00.000 Oh, thank you.

02:04:00.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:04:04.000 Doing very well over there.

02:04:06.000 How do you pronounce this?

02:04:08.000 Callan.

02:04:09.000 Callan says, Canceling NBA sounds like a win-win-win.

02:04:13.000 Players sacrifice pay and have time to protest.

02:04:15.000 Owners renegotiate salary for lower viewership.

02:04:18.000 NBA fans now watch RNC and see Trump.

02:04:20.000 Isn't that bad?

02:04:21.000 There you go.

02:04:24.000 Alright, let's see.

02:04:24.000 Let's see.

02:04:25.000 Eric A. says, thanks for keeping us informed and having the best guests.

02:04:28.000 JRE better look out.

02:04:29.000 Did you see that Breonna Taylor is turning out to be another false narrative?

02:04:33.000 It was not no knock raid.

02:04:34.000 Brandon Tatum has on his news site, there's a lot more.

02:04:37.000 I don't know about the raid, but I know that apparently some document came out that claimed

02:04:41.000 she had connections to one of the drug dealers they were looking for or something.

02:04:44.000 So I don't know if you know anything about that, but.

02:04:46.000 I mean, uh, it feels like I'm constantly in a loop of people being like, look at this.

02:04:51.000 The cops are bad.

02:04:52.000 And they're like, check out the real video.

02:04:54.000 The cops are good.

02:04:54.000 And you're like, I don't know.

02:04:56.000 Sometimes it's one, sometimes it's the other, probably.

02:05:02.000 So many videos.

02:05:03.000 We got, we got Brianna Taylor, George Floyd and Jacob Blake.

02:05:06.000 These stories coming out all in the past couple of days.

02:05:08.000 That's like, Hey, wait a minute.

02:05:09.000 That's not what they said.

02:05:10.000 Yeah.

02:05:11.000 So it's not necessarily that cops are good, but that, oh, that was kind of just a messed up situation where everyone screwed up.

02:05:18.000 And it's like, how do we... Yeah, a lot of times it is, you know, it's like all of the things and the problem is people want to put it all in one and the other like it isn't.

02:05:25.000 They like to think of gender as a spectrum, but they don't like to think of people screwing up as a spectrum.

02:05:31.000 Exactly, I noticed that too.

02:05:33.000 All right, let's see.

02:05:34.000 Josephine Whitaker says, not my real name.

02:05:37.000 Love the Boys cast and Tim cast.

02:05:39.000 Boys, boys, boys.

02:05:40.000 Boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys.

02:05:42.000 Boom.

02:05:43.000 Nightingale Mori says, question.

02:05:45.000 I heard Tim ranting about being forced off the fence by Dems and voting for Trump.

02:05:50.000 Also, he doesn't wear the MAGA beanie.

02:05:52.000 Where could I re-find it?

02:05:53.000 And if Tim allows me to work on a little animation?

02:05:56.000 Uh, yeah, I was forced off the fence because I don't, I don't want to be in anybody's tribe. 0.95

02:06:00.000 I don't want to, I don't want to like walk over to a group and be like, I'm with you.

02:06:03.000 I would be like, nah, you all get away from me and leave me alone.

02:06:05.000 I do my thing.

02:06:06.000 Yeah.

02:06:06.000 I'm going to be over here with my hippie farm.

02:06:09.000 You know, for me, it's like people, you know, and it is true.

02:06:12.000 People always want to say, are you on this side or that side?

02:06:14.000 It's like, first of all, I identify as a comedian, so that's the most important thing to me, but I'm always going to be more against the side that's telling me what to do.

02:06:22.000 Right.

02:06:22.000 So people always talk left and right, but it's more authoritarianism versus freedom.

02:06:26.000 Right.

02:06:27.000 So if I moved here and if the right was like, listen, these are the topics you can't talk about.

02:06:31.000 And they were at one point, but right now, you know, it's probably more the other side being like, this is what you can say.

02:06:36.000 Here's the off-limit topics.

02:06:37.000 I say way worse stuff about the church.

02:06:39.000 And if this was 10 years ago, that would not be on TV right now.

02:06:42.000 They don't see, no one cares and they're not getting mad about it.

02:06:44.000 So I think, I think Ben Shapiro has the biggest conservative podcast and they make fun of him all the time and he rolls with it and laughs.

02:06:51.000 Yeah, dude, I actually made a video that made fun of him.

02:06:54.000 Did he respond to it or anything?

02:06:56.000 Yeah, so it wasn't that crazy.

02:06:58.000 I was doing the Never Trumper vs. Always Trumper kind of thing, right?

02:07:01.000 And what I said was, because he always tried to find like a good thing to make fun of them with, because I didn't want to be like, Ben Shapiro's a... What I said was, watching cool guys like Ben Shapiro, and he lost his virginity at 28!

02:07:14.000 I kind of like just took a dig at like some of these bad boy guys.

02:07:18.000 And again, whatever, you know, it's not like the worst.

02:07:21.000 I don't think any of this stuff was that bad if it's making fun of anyone.

02:07:23.000 But then he retweeted it and he was like, actually, it was 24.

02:07:25.000 I was like, that's pretty funny.

02:07:29.000 You know, that's a pretty right.

02:07:31.000 You know, there was a he rolls with it.

02:07:32.000 Yeah.

02:07:33.000 But it's only on the right.

02:07:35.000 There was a maybe it wasn't her.

02:07:36.000 It was the Oh, no, this was another right wing people.

02:07:38.000 What's the like?

02:07:40.000 Candace Owens.

02:07:41.000 Dave Chappelle kind of made fun of her.

02:07:47.000 She said something like, I'm honored to be made fun of by one of the greatest comedians ever.

02:07:51.000 And then she was like, I'd love to talk to you at some point.

02:07:53.000 It's such the move, dude. 1.00

02:07:55.000 If someone makes fun of you, especially a comic, you look like such a loser if you go, Look, you're an idiot. 1.00

02:08:03.000 I'm actually cool. 1.00

02:08:04.000 These memes about me are amazing.

02:08:06.000 I tweeted something, and then someone made a meme where it was like me in a hot air balloon, but my head was the balloon, and the basket was hanging from my own head, and I was in it.

02:08:18.000 I saved it.

02:08:19.000 I was like, dude, that's amazing.

02:08:20.000 And there's another one where it's me and my brain goes up and it's really small with a little beanie on it and I'm drooling.

02:08:29.000 It's hilarious.

02:08:31.000 Dude, I don't care, man.

02:08:32.000 I'm having a good time.

02:08:33.000 I don't get bothered by these things.

02:08:34.000 They make me laugh.

02:08:35.000 And it's funny because...

02:08:37.000 Uh, people on the right will, more of a playful jab post memes, and they're funny, and people on the left think they're trying to get me, and I'm like, dude, that was hilarious!

02:08:44.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:08:45.000 I love the blimp head brain thing, it's good, dude.

02:08:48.000 Yeah.

02:08:48.000 Cause, you know, I gotta say, I'm impressed, cause the left usually doesn't have good memes.

02:08:52.000 But they put a lot of effort into making memes about me.

02:08:54.000 They're funny.

02:08:56.000 The funny thing about the one with the little brain is that I'm wearing this old baseball tee that I wore like two years ago that I haven't worn for two years because now my thing is like the shirt with the shirt over it.

02:09:05.000 And so I'm like, did you make this last month about a video I did two years ago?

02:09:10.000 They really put in the work.

02:09:11.000 Wow.

02:09:11.000 Like they're watching my stuff.

02:09:13.000 They went through the archives to find the perfect shirt to sketch you in to make fun of you.

02:09:18.000 One of these woke researchers, I kid you not, this is the craziest thing I've ever heard.

02:09:23.000 So there's this woman and she did this thing where she smeared a bunch of peanut butter 1.00

02:09:28.000 on... we're not going to go there.

02:09:31.000 She smeared a bunch of people, peanut butter, she smeared a bunch of people and then it 1.00

02:09:37.000 was called the Alternative Influence Network and she claimed that comedians were connected 0.98

02:09:41.000 from one link to white nationalists and it was the most ridiculous conspiracy nonsense.

02:09:46.000 She does a follow-up to it, and she says that she watched all of my videos, and I was like, do you know how much content that is?

02:09:54.000 Like, 2,000 videos that are between 10 and 30 minutes long, and I was like, that means she was sitting in her apartment for, like, four hours a day to catch up, because based on the amount of time she spent, From the time she started the project to the time she finished, I was like, dude, I tweeted it and I was like, wow.

02:10:11.000 That's an honor.

02:10:11.000 I was like, I'm actually really impressed because that means you were watching probably like five hours of my content every day to catch up.

02:10:16.000 Because I do, I was doing at the time two hours per day.

02:10:19.000 Yeah, you do a lot.

02:10:20.000 Two hours per day.

02:10:21.000 Now with this show, it's four.

02:10:22.000 And I'm like, so if you're going to watch all of my content, That means you had to be watching at least two hours a day, double time, to try and catch up to the content I was making today.

02:10:31.000 Yeah!

02:10:31.000 That's how obs- like, I was like, you know, that's dedication.

02:10:34.000 That's full-time job, yeah.

02:10:35.000 And then she wrote like this article, and it wasn't even- it wasn't a hit piece or anything, it was like, Tim Poole's a moderate who says these things, and I'm like, you watched.

02:10:42.000 That's a lot of work for that bad boy house.

02:10:44.000 Thousands of my videos.

02:10:46.000 Dedicated to your art, man.

02:10:46.000 Man.

02:10:48.000 There's nothing worse than the scumbags that just go through your podcast to get mad. 1.00

02:10:52.000 And they find nothing. 0.99

02:10:54.000 Could you imagine?

02:10:56.000 But I guess the goal was like, she thought she was going to find something, maybe?

02:11:00.000 And then it turns out Tim's a milquetoast fence-sitter who just talks about news and has tepid opinions.

02:11:04.000 I guess that's not the worst.

02:11:06.000 Dude, I've been having that conversation with all these, like, you know, industry people when they're... A lot of the first things I'm asking people is, like, you know, what would you do if, like, how would you handle, like, if someone, you know, if I got in this scandal and some people canceled me and blah, blah, and they're like, well, no, I really like your stuff, I'm a fan, but, like, obviously if you said something, like, really offensive, I'm like, yeah, that, that's what I'm talking about.

02:11:26.000 That's what's gonna happen.

02:11:28.000 At the very least, they're gonna say that.

02:11:29.000 Not just that, but how long until the videos you've made are offensive?

02:11:34.000 I mean, like, so obviously there are fans of you left now.

02:11:36.000 Oh, I seriously am.

02:11:37.000 So, like, dude, if, you know, you get some dude who ten years ago... Sarah Silverman.

02:11:42.000 Dude, I watched my old TV show that I did six years ago, and some of the jokes I was watching, I go, whoa!

02:11:49.000 If we carry on in this way, where we're going now, I'd be willing to bet in a few years Oh, you're going to the Gulag, brother. 0.70

02:11:56.000 They're going to be like this woke racist thing.

02:11:58.000 How dare you! 0.99

02:11:59.000 Do you want to know something really funny that I saw two days ago?

02:12:02.000 You know the show Criminal Minds?

02:12:04.000 Vaguely, I don't know.

02:12:04.000 Yeah.

02:12:05.000 I've never seen it.

02:12:06.000 It's like SVU or whatever.

02:12:07.000 Basically, it's whatever.

02:12:08.000 It's a cop show or whatever.

02:12:09.000 But there was a person that had a split personality.

02:12:12.000 So basically, it was a man and a woman who were in the same body.

02:12:16.000 And then the woman was killing people and then took over, so it was the woman. 1.00

02:12:20.000 And then she was like, she's not gonna let the guy out anymore, so it's just the woman.

02:12:23.000 And then the cops were, so it's basically like a trans woman at this point, played by a man.

02:12:27.000 And all the cops were like, come on, we know there's a guy in there somewhere.

02:12:31.000 And I was just like, can you imagine?

02:12:33.000 Be like, tell me there's not a guy in there drinking a Coors Light and playing beer pong.

02:12:37.000 Let him out! 1.00

02:12:38.000 You know what they were saying? 0.98

02:12:39.000 Because they're saying this psychopath took over.

02:12:39.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:12:42.000 And I was just like, man, can you imagine that right now?

02:12:45.000 That was making me laugh so much, the idea of, you're telling me there isn't a dude inside there just waiting to have an arm wrestle?

02:12:51.000 Let him out! 1.00

02:12:52.000 Let him out! 1.00

02:12:53.000 So here's the point, ultimately, the jokes we've made on this show, at a certain point, if we carry on this track, people are going to be like, look at this podcast he did three years ago.

02:13:01.000 Oh, it's so offensive.

02:13:02.000 And then on the other side, they go too far.

02:13:06.000 You know, the truth is with people calling stuff gay or whatever, there was a point where I think most people, everyone, like, people were kind of like, yo, listen, like, we don't like that word if you don't mind it.

02:13:15.000 Honestly, everyone was kind of like, yeah, yeah, we're kind of done with it anyway.

02:13:18.000 And then it was like, yeah, you better not say it.

02:13:20.000 And we go, yeah, I wouldn't say it.

02:13:21.000 And he's like, yeah, that's right.

02:13:22.000 Because if you say you're in trouble.

02:13:23.000 You know what's funny?

02:13:24.000 Yeah, and then every person was like, alright, now I have to say it.

02:13:27.000 Gotta say it now.

02:13:28.000 So, and that's what happened with all this stuff.

02:13:30.000 It kind of started out where it was like, hey, could you not just, you know, and you

02:13:33.000 go, yeah, yeah, no problem.

02:13:34.000 But then the things got so ridiculous that everyone's like, alright, now I'm not following

02:13:37.000 any of it.

02:13:38.000 You know what's funny?

02:13:39.000 There's a voice actress who's super anti-Trump and super woke.

02:13:43.000 Yeah, I'm...

02:13:44.000 Except she's done a ton of Family Guy.

02:13:46.000 Hollywood rarity.

02:13:47.000 Comedy Central.

02:13:48.000 And I'm like, I could put together probably like five hours of extreme racist, transphobic, homophobic content from this voice actress. 0.69

02:13:54.000 Right.

02:13:55.000 A super compilation.

02:13:56.000 And like, that's why it's like, don't pretend that all of a sudden you're turning a new leaf when it was only a couple years ago you were like making all of this racist content.

02:14:05.000 You were doing what was in vogue then and you're doing what's in vogue now.

02:14:08.000 These people have like no spines.

02:14:08.000 Exactly.

02:14:09.000 They're followers.

02:14:10.000 Exactly.

02:14:11.000 And people can tell the difference.

02:14:13.000 Our happy place says we just need honest people who want to find real solutions to step forward and say enough.

02:14:19.000 We need reform.

02:14:19.000 We need to be objective.

02:14:21.000 We need to support our police and expect accountability.

02:14:23.000 I do want to be clear about the fact that I do not care about finding real solutions.

02:14:28.000 I care about making a good comedy album.

02:14:30.000 And solutions are bad.

02:14:32.000 If everything was fixed, what were you going to make fun of?

02:14:35.000 Everything is great!

02:14:36.000 What's the deal with everything being perfect?

02:14:39.000 No, you need the chaos and the calamities that people get angry about.

02:14:41.000 What's the deal with this racial unity?

02:14:45.000 I'd laugh at that.

02:14:47.000 Someone's gonna pull that one.

02:14:48.000 Alright, let's see.

02:14:48.000 Oh boy.

02:14:51.000 Matt Moran says, Hey Tim, owed you a super chat.

02:14:54.000 But for Ryan, dude, you are on fire this year.

02:14:54.000 Anyway, you rock.

02:14:57.000 Great work and good luck.

02:14:58.000 I thought it couldn't get better.

02:15:00.000 Then you released diversity and torture. 0.96

02:15:01.000 That was good.

02:15:02.000 Yeah, that was pretty good.

02:15:04.000 Those people didn't know what to say, man.

02:15:05.000 Yeah, the part that was making me laugh the night before to myself was saying that Guantanamo Bay is a boys club.

02:15:12.000 That was my favorite part.

02:15:15.000 I was like, yes, I want equality in this field.

02:15:15.000 I love that video.

02:15:17.000 Yeah, I got a couple other ones of those too coming out.

02:15:20.000 All right, let's see what we got.

02:15:20.000 Sweet.

02:15:20.000 Let's do a couple more because we're running late.

02:15:22.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:15:23.000 Let's see.

02:15:24.000 Private Joker says, Hi Tim.

02:15:26.000 Have you seen the coverage of the shooting last night in Kenosha?

02:15:28.000 The media coverage has been heavily against the shooter, but I doubt they're telling the full story.

02:15:32.000 Any thoughts?

02:15:33.000 That's my general understanding, but we really do need more footage to come out.

02:15:37.000 There was a deep analysis on it that's really, wow, incredible, where they isolated individuals and traced them through the video so you can clearly see, by color coordinating, that the dude who shot the guy in the head was being attacked.

02:15:50.000 And then he fired in self-defense.

02:15:52.000 That's the one you showed me before, right?

02:15:53.000 Yeah, and then they chase him down the street, and so it really does look like, you know, hard self-defense.

02:15:58.000 So glad we had so many reporters.

02:15:59.000 This is wild.

02:16:00.000 Tim, someone just donated $50 to my Patreon while I'm on this.

02:16:04.000 Oh, wow.

02:16:04.000 So your fans have started to pick up the Lyft bill.

02:16:07.000 There you go, man.

02:16:07.000 Very cool.

02:16:08.000 I'm happy to hear it.

02:16:10.000 Hey Tim, the Aussie government is about to put through a law to give big media corporations an edge by giving them YouTube algorithm data and up to 60 times of their ad revenue they bring in.

02:16:20.000 9 News Network.

02:16:22.000 This precedent could go to the US.

02:16:23.000 Please look at it.

02:16:24.000 Oh, I didn't hear that.

02:16:25.000 I will look into it.

02:16:27.000 So, let's do one more.

02:16:29.000 Let's see, where are we at?

02:16:32.000 Maybe this is like a noob question, who cares?

02:16:34.000 So, what happens if you don't read the super chat?

02:16:37.000 I can't read all of them, so there's a bunch I haven't read.

02:16:39.000 Oh, okay, so it's like they do the super chat and you try to read as many as you can.

02:16:42.000 I try to read as many as I can, you know, but it's like... But if they're in the chat, it shows up like bigger for everyone else to see.

02:16:48.000 Right, right, right, right.

02:16:49.000 So there is a benefit still.

02:16:50.000 Yeah, definitely.

02:16:52.000 So let's see what we got here.

02:16:54.000 Bruva says, I'm seeing more and more of my co-workers rocking the Trump mask and making heads explode.

02:16:59.000 LOL.

02:16:59.000 That is a funny move.

02:17:01.000 Just show up to your normal job with the Trump mask.

02:17:04.000 Do it.

02:17:05.000 Funny move.

02:17:06.000 All right, let's see.

02:17:08.000 Thatchivo says, are you going to start hunting with all those new guns you bought?

02:17:12.000 Probably not because I work too much.

02:17:13.000 Did you buy a bunch of guns?

02:17:14.000 I bought a bunch of guns.

02:17:15.000 I bought a bunch of Smith & Wesson stock because Danny Polishak told me.

02:17:19.000 Oh, stock.

02:17:19.000 That's a brilliant idea.

02:17:21.000 He told me.

02:17:22.000 They're sold out of everything.

02:17:24.000 I had a buddy send me a bunch of photos and he's like, dude, all the ammo's gone.

02:17:24.000 That's what he said.

02:17:30.000 So I'm kind of thinking like, I gotta go to the store and get ammo.

02:17:33.000 So what'd you buy?

02:17:35.000 Uh, I can't.

02:17:36.000 I'm not going to say publicly, but a bunch.

02:17:39.000 A bunch of guns?

02:17:40.000 A bunch.

02:17:40.000 Oh, you've got a compound, dude.

02:17:42.000 I went in and I was like, hmm, let's see, I'll take that one, that one, that one.

02:17:45.000 Take one of each.

02:17:46.000 I looked down, ooh, I'll definitely take that one.

02:17:46.000 One of those.

02:17:48.000 You're like one step away from having a cult out here.

02:17:51.000 What was the movie called?

02:17:51.000 No way, dude.

02:17:53.000 You think I want people around me?

02:17:55.000 They're gonna show up and they're gonna have beanies on.

02:17:57.000 They're gonna be like, Tim, get out, get away from me. 1.00

02:18:00.000 You get to have sex with everyone's wife in the cult. 0.99

02:18:03.000 What's that movie called? 0.99

02:18:05.000 I don't know.

02:18:07.000 But it's like a famous American story and they keep making talks about it.

02:18:11.000 And they were kind of in the middle of nowhere and the cops came and there was like a standoff.

02:18:16.000 I have no idea.

02:18:17.000 Was it the Bundys?

02:18:18.000 That wasn't it.

02:18:19.000 No, I don't think it was the Bundys, but super famous.

02:18:22.000 I feel like people in the chat would even probably be saying it.

02:18:24.000 I don't know if they're in real time like that.

02:18:25.000 But anyways, there was this cult in the middle of somewhere and then the police came and they had a standoff for like months and then they burned the place down.

02:18:35.000 Was that Waco?

02:18:36.000 Yes.

02:18:38.000 We knew it.

02:18:39.000 Oh, snap. 0.99

02:18:40.000 I knew we'd get it.

02:18:42.000 We got there together.

02:18:42.000 Yeah, I'm seeing a lot in the chat.

02:18:44.000 That's Waco. 0.53

02:18:45.000 Cool, thanks guys.

02:18:45.000 We got our back.

02:18:46.000 Well, on that note, on a positive note, we'll wind things down.
