Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Twitter Adopts POISON PILL To Block Elon Musk Takeover w-Brett Cooper & Ben Stewart

00:00:00.000 So Elon Musk tries to buy Twitter, right?

00:00:11.000 And he offers up this legitimate offer, $54.20 per share to buy everybody out.

00:00:15.000 Instead of going to the shareholders, the board announces what's called a poison pill, which basically bars Elon Musk from buying up the company through public means.

00:00:25.000 They may still entertain his offer, but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen.

00:00:29.000 And it looks like we are about to see one of the biggest culture war battles, the most significant we've ever seen.

00:00:36.000 I think Elon Musk has exposed so much dirty dealing.

00:00:40.000 And it says a lot about how wealthy, billionaires, corporate interests are manipulating the public and don't care about money because they're getting money from the Fed.

00:00:48.000 They don't care about the cost.

00:00:49.000 They want the power and the influence.

00:00:51.000 Even Recode, a Vox.com blog, says exactly this.

00:00:55.000 That Twitter is where journalists and politicians get out their message.

00:00:59.000 Well, surprise, surprise.

00:01:00.000 Guess who is getting banned?

00:01:02.000 Yeah, it's mostly the right, it's mostly libertarians.

00:01:04.000 Sometimes there are anti-war leftists and some left-wingers who will get banned, but typically not.

00:01:09.000 That's the power, and they know it.

00:01:11.000 We got a couple other stories.

00:01:12.000 You know, it's funny, we're talking about Elon Musk because World War III apparently started.

00:01:16.000 Russian state TV said the sinking of the Russian flagship, the Moskva.

00:01:20.000 Moskva.

00:01:22.000 I'm sorry, not specifically, but after this they said, the weapons we are up against.

00:01:27.000 are from NATO. They're trying to maintain that the ship sank due to a fire, but the Ukrainians are 1.00

00:01:33.000 saying we basically hit it with a Neptune missile, so we'll talk about that. We definitely got to

00:01:38.000 talk about the secrets of Dumbledore. It's Friday, we're gonna get into it. I haven't seen it,

00:01:42.000 but joining us to explain what's wrong with the plot is Brett Cooper. Hey guys, how are you?

00:01:49.000 I mean, okay, so... Well, you know, we don't need to get into it right now.

00:01:53.000 It's just, it's interesting.

00:01:55.000 It's a mediocre film.

00:01:57.000 The real story on our end is that they gutted the plot for the Chinese version because Dumbledore prefers the company of men.

00:02:06.000 And in China, they're like, no, no, we can't, you know. 0.99

00:02:08.000 It's a real secret.

00:02:09.000 Yeah, right.

00:02:10.000 It's just for America. 0.87

00:02:11.000 So yeah, Brad, do you want to introduce yourself?

00:02:13.000 Yeah, I am Brett Cooper.

00:02:14.000 I am the newest host at Daily Wire.

00:02:17.000 I host the comment section with Brett Cooper.

00:02:18.000 It's a daily social media cultural reaction show.

00:02:21.000 It's been up and running for about a month now.

00:02:24.000 It's super fun.

00:02:25.000 I come from a background in acting.

00:02:28.000 I was a professional actor for 10 years in Los Angeles.

00:02:30.000 Went to UCLA and now I'm here in Nashville doing politics and culture.

00:02:34.000 It's fun.

00:02:35.000 Cool.

00:02:35.000 Thanks for coming.

00:02:36.000 We also got Ben Stewart.

00:02:37.000 I'm actually Michaela Peterson, but none of you are biologists, so it's okay.

00:02:44.000 No, benjosephstewart.com.

00:02:45.000 That's where you can check out all my films, all the work that I do.

00:02:48.000 Also, Ben Stewart Podcast on YouTube.

00:02:52.000 And happy to be back.

00:02:53.000 I think this is my fourth time.

00:02:54.000 Yeah, man.

00:02:55.000 Glad to have you.

00:02:55.000 It's the fourth turning.

00:02:56.000 That's right.

00:02:58.000 We'll get into that, too, maybe, with the World War III stuff, for sure.

00:03:01.000 We got Ian.

00:03:01.000 Hi, everyone.

00:03:02.000 Ian Crossland.

00:03:03.000 You know me, and you love me.

00:03:04.000 What's up?

00:03:05.000 And I'm also here in the corner pushing buttons.

00:03:07.000 I'm excited to have Brett.

00:03:08.000 I always love having ladies on, and tonight's gonna be a super chill evening, especially with Ben.

00:03:12.000 It's gonna be good.

00:03:12.000 All right, before we get started, my friends, you gotta head over to TimCast.com.

00:03:16.000 Become a member to help support the work we do here, these trips we do.

00:03:20.000 We came down to the DailyWire headquarters so we could do fun stuff.

00:03:22.000 You guys, if you didn't see it, we did this crossover stream where I ran out of the trailer and they're filming it with Remote Tech.

00:03:28.000 All of this is possible because you guys are members, helping us grow the company, hire more people, expand the business, and we're taking over the world, figuratively, with your help.

00:03:38.000 We're gonna challenge the media and, uh, You're going to get access to exclusive episodes of the TimCastIRL podcast, but what I wanted to say is, I used to say that if you guys like, share, subscribe, you share this video, we could be bigger than CNN.

00:03:56.000 That's right, if every person watching right now just shared the URL, we could be bigger than CNN!

00:04:00.000 Well, ladies and gentlemen, CNN plus has less daily active users than we do.

00:04:04.000 So I guess, you know, we've, we've sort of met that milestone.

00:04:07.000 We really, really appreciate it.

00:04:07.000 So thank you.

00:04:09.000 And all of you who are members are a part of that movement where you can laugh and say that you support real media and CNN plus is failing.

00:04:17.000 I just want to say one thing on that.

00:04:18.000 I see these journalists constantly promoting CNN plus who don't work there.

00:04:22.000 And I'm just like, it's sad at this point.

00:04:23.000 It's like, I know your friends have a company and it's not working, but stop trying to make it happen.

00:04:28.000 It's like, it's, it's not going to happen.

00:04:30.000 So, uh, yeah.

00:04:31.000 But let's talk about the news.

00:04:32.000 Again, smash that like button. 0.95

00:04:34.000 The first story we have here from TimGuest.com.

00:04:36.000 Twitter board utilizes poison pill to stop Elon Musk from buying the company.

00:04:41.000 The plan intends to reduce the likelihood that any entity, person, or group gains control of Twitter.

00:04:46.000 Do you guys know how this works?

00:04:46.000 Check this out.

00:04:48.000 Kind of.

00:04:48.000 So this is, if Elon Musk tries to buy up more than 15% of the company, they're going to offer special stock to the other investors at a discount rate so they can dilute the equity power that Elon would have.

00:05:02.000 Meaning, no matter how much he buys, the other investors can buy up and take away the power he's buying.

00:05:08.000 They're effectively destroying their own company to stop Elon Musk from ending their censorship.

00:05:15.000 Wow.

00:05:16.000 Yeah, that's probably because the Saudi Arabian king is involved with- Prince.

00:05:20.000 The prince as well, the Saudi Arabian state as well, so I imagine it's all going through the king.

00:05:24.000 But also, elaborate, I know there's a prince who invested- The prince tweeted out, and it also said that the state itself.

00:05:29.000 He said the kingdom and- But is that just his company, or- Well, to be honest, to be fair, I don't know, I assume that that was the kingdom itself.

00:05:36.000 Yeah, I saw ZeroHedge tweeted that he actually sold his shares.

00:05:39.000 I don't know if that's true.

00:05:40.000 The Prince?

00:05:41.000 The Prince sold his shares.

00:05:42.000 I don't know if that's true.

00:05:43.000 It's hard to know, but I think the big play here is that the people who own Twitter, as we mentioned the other day and what we can get into now, they want the power, the political power of Twitter to control the conversation.

00:05:54.000 Saudis aside, I think it's Vanguard.

00:05:55.000 Vanguard upped their stake to say, now we own more than Elon.

00:05:58.000 So there's some very nefarious corporate interests that want control of this mouthpiece that is Twitter.

00:06:04.000 What do you guys think?

00:06:05.000 Vanguard and Blackrock have a pretty substantial Disney stake as well.

00:06:12.000 They also own each other, which is weird.

00:06:15.000 Like they own 2% of the other?

00:06:17.000 It's inbred, if you will.

00:06:19.000 Sorry, I had to go there.

00:06:21.000 It's a little inbred when it comes to the money.

00:06:24.000 Here's the crazy thing, right?

00:06:25.000 Let me ask you this question, Brett.

00:06:26.000 Do you use Twitter a lot?

00:06:28.000 Have you always used Twitter a lot?

00:06:28.000 Yeah.

00:06:30.000 No, only this year.

00:06:31.000 See, because only this year, so only for a few months.

00:06:33.000 Oh no, as of last, so in the last year.

00:06:35.000 It was like early 2021.

00:06:38.000 And you are 20 years old, Gen Z, and you're only recently getting involved in Twitter. 0.62

00:06:43.000 Yep.

00:06:43.000 Twitter is, it's like the political space, right?

00:06:46.000 Like, how do your friends feel about it?

00:06:48.000 Younger people?

00:06:49.000 Honestly, it is not the most used.

00:06:50.000 I think Instagram and TikTok are just what is most heavily dominated in politics.

00:06:55.000 Everybody is on Twitter.

00:06:56.000 So my friends that are in the political sphere, they are very active.

00:06:59.000 But outside of that, people have like a burner account, basically, where they go to just look at memes.

00:07:04.000 But They don't tweet anything.

00:07:07.000 They're not involved.

00:07:07.000 It's kind of like, oh yeah, I'll check Twitter.

00:07:09.000 But it's a very, I think in normal circles, it's kind of outdated.

00:07:12.000 Like, that's just whatever.

00:07:14.000 And I never really had a reason or an interest in being on it until I started.

00:07:18.000 I was writing for fee and they were like, you need to be on there to, you know, promote your articles and that kind of stuff.

00:07:23.000 But that's not even true.

00:07:25.000 Yeah.

00:07:26.000 So, when I worked at Fusion, they didn't have Twitter.

00:07:30.000 I think, it's been a while, but we had a conversation about how, you know, websites like to put the social media links so you can tweet out the story, post the stories, and they didn't care about Twitter, and I asked them why, and they said, Twitter doesn't drive traffic.

00:07:41.000 And so I was like, okay.

00:07:43.000 For me, I was like, Twitter's really important.

00:07:45.000 But back in the day, when it was the free speech wing of the free speech party, it was really important. 0.99

00:07:50.000 Now, like I mentioned, I'll post like a picture of a hairless rabbit for no reason and just post nonsense because the platform is garbage.

00:07:57.000 Twitter's kind of like the repository social media network. 0.92

00:08:00.000 I signed up in 08, didn't use it till 2019 because I thought it was crap, but YouTube is where it's at.

00:08:07.000 The video makes you famous and then they come and follow you on Twitter when they find out you have a Twitter account.

00:08:11.000 No one finds you on Twitter.

00:08:12.000 That's not how it works.

00:08:13.000 I mean, maybe not no one, but it's not.

00:08:15.000 Well, people found me on Twitter when they realized that I looked like Ben Shapiro.

00:08:17.000 That's where I got the bulk of mine.

00:08:19.000 I had, like, 400 followers, and then Jeremy retweeted the side-by-side of me and Ben, and it was like, okay, now you have 20,000, and I was like, okay.

00:08:26.000 Wow.

00:08:26.000 Pinch weed on your account right now.

00:08:27.000 Yeah, you can go check it out.

00:08:29.000 I'm Brett Cooper.

00:08:30.000 People were chatting, female Ben Shapiro.

00:08:32.000 But, uh, you're taller.

00:08:34.000 I am.

00:08:35.000 Ben's actually not that short.

00:08:36.000 That's the funny thing.

00:08:38.000 We just hung out with him the other day, and I'm like, everybody says he's short.

00:08:41.000 And then he walks up to me, and I'm like, oh, he's actually a fairly average, totally normal guy.

00:08:46.000 They just like lying and making things up because they want to hate on people.

00:08:48.000 But anyway, back to the reason I was asking you these questions.

00:08:51.000 Twitter's a failing company.

00:08:53.000 Like, yo, I'm 36, Ian's 75.

00:08:58.000 You look good though.

00:08:59.000 You look good, yeah.

00:09:00.000 No, but like, in all seriousness, we're an older demographic and you have to get young people involved in your culture if you want that culture to persist.

00:09:09.000 Twitter seems to be on a train track that leads just flying off a cliff.

00:09:12.000 They're not convincing young people to be involved in what Twitter is.

00:09:16.000 They have turned Twitter into an activist blog.

00:09:18.000 Yo, I called this.

00:09:20.000 I said several years ago when they were banning all the fun people, the trolls and the silliness and the memes, I was like, dude, it's going to turn into a left-wing activist blog.

00:09:28.000 And it's going to have 10 people and eventually it's going to be one guy and some people might visit it.

00:09:32.000 But so why would a young person want to go on a platform to be lectured by old fogies complaining about policy? 1.00

00:09:38.000 Yeah, Instagram and I think Instagram and TikTok, you mentioned, it's pictures and video.

00:09:42.000 I mean, it's video for the most part.

00:09:44.000 Twitter's text.

00:09:45.000 It's a lot of text.

00:09:46.000 You know, you go there to read and research, essentially, but not to have fun.

00:09:49.000 I don't know.

00:09:50.000 Is it fun for you?

00:09:51.000 I mean, I enjoy it because for my show, which is technically me diving into comment sections and that kind of thing.

00:09:57.000 It's my... I know.

00:09:59.000 It's the... I go into the trenches, my friends.

00:10:02.000 Um, it is, it's the hub of my research, basically, so I enjoy it because, but most of the stuff that I'm looking at is like, you know, batshit crazy things, and so I personally enjoy it, but I wouldn't go on there if this wasn't, like, my work.

00:10:16.000 I would probably choose TikTok, I would choose YouTube, yeah, I would.

00:10:21.000 But it used to be fun.

00:10:22.000 People would go on and they'd post memes, they'd share memes like crazy, and they would troll.

00:10:28.000 Trolling was fun.

00:10:29.000 And then we get this, like the CEO now, Parag Agrawal, he's like, you know, it's not about free speech, it's about the current state of things and having a healthy conversation.

00:10:39.000 And it's like, dude, if I wanted to go to like a youth seminar where they explained to me, you know, morals or something, sure, I'd book it.

00:10:48.000 If I wanna go and just post my thoughts and tell people, like, here's a funny joke, you can't do that on Twitter anymore, so what do you do?

00:10:56.000 You gotta go somewhere else.

00:10:57.000 What about Reddit?

00:10:58.000 Is Reddit still... I use Reddit sometimes, but how are they with censorship?

00:11:01.000 Oh, it's the worst.

00:11:03.000 I was gonna say, that's what I've heard.

00:11:04.000 I know that, yeah.

00:11:05.000 Dude, it's... You know what it is?

00:11:07.000 It's like, it feels like the school principal has taken over the social media platforms.

00:11:13.000 And it's like we used to, you know, throw bouncing balls down the hall and then run after it.

00:11:18.000 Now the principal's in the hallway all day going like, hey you, don't do that!

00:11:22.000 And we're like, this is so lame, let's go somewhere else.

00:11:23.000 I think Lauren Southern tweeted out that it was like only five years ago that if someone got banned off of YouTube or Twitter, it was like global news.

00:11:31.000 And now, geez.

00:11:33.000 You blink and then, like, a bunch of accounts are gone.

00:11:35.000 I don't know, who's the most recent fan?

00:11:36.000 Does it even matter?

00:11:37.000 But it's just, it's disturbing how slippery the slope can be.

00:11:40.000 Remember how fun Alex Jones was?

00:11:41.000 Yes!

00:11:43.000 So, was there a point where you ever used Twitter in any, even a little bit, before?

00:11:49.000 Never.

00:11:50.000 And that's the thing, I think, where, you know, I look at the Elon Musk stuff and I'm just like, dude, Twitter is blowing itself up on purpose.

00:11:57.000 It has to be.

00:11:58.000 And that was another thing that I felt with Elon, that it's like, I love what he's doing, the statement that he's making, but I also kind of had the opinion, like, it already is, like you're saying, a sinking ship.

00:12:07.000 There's so much other crap that's going on in the world.

00:12:09.000 There's so many communities that need us, that, I mean, you know, everything else, and it's like, this is great, but also... No, he's right. 0.85

00:12:16.000 Elon Musk is right.

00:12:17.000 Yeah.

00:12:18.000 He posted the top ten Twitter accounts that some of them haven't even posted this year.

00:12:22.000 Yep.

00:12:22.000 Like Justin Bieber or whatever.

00:12:23.000 Yeah.

00:12:24.000 Because the platform is dead.

00:12:25.000 Yeah.

00:12:25.000 There's users on it.

00:12:26.000 They gain a little bit of users.

00:12:28.000 Dude...

00:12:29.000 You know, we were talking to Jeremy about this and he's like, hey, I said, I don't even take it seriously anymore.

00:12:34.000 I used to post news stories. 0.99

00:12:35.000 Now it's like I just, I post like Chicken City is some great accomplishment because I'm just, I'm like, it's a garbage platform filled with garbage people who just want to just, they rag on you, they lie about you, they smear you. 0.99

00:12:49.000 There's no good conversations. 0.98

00:12:50.000 There's no fun.

00:12:50.000 There's no jokes.

00:12:51.000 You'll get banned for saying learn to code.

00:12:54.000 I don't take it seriously.

00:12:55.000 And then, you know, he's like, you have a million followers though.

00:12:57.000 And I'm like, I don't, I don't know why, but I actually do know why.

00:13:00.000 It's what you said.

00:13:01.000 YouTube fame.

00:13:01.000 Well, people will watch these shows and then they'll follow on Twitter because they want to just like see their newsfeed and see information.

00:13:08.000 But I can't take a platform seriously if it's dying.

00:13:11.000 And it is.

00:13:13.000 I can gain followers.

00:13:14.000 I'll put it this way.

00:13:15.000 Let's say there's a hundred million people that are using the site at any moment.

00:13:19.000 Sure, I have a million followers, so I can lose a bunch and gain a bunch within that sphere, but it feels like the sphere of actual functioning valuable users is just going down.

00:13:29.000 Yeah, Elon said it was like the Town Square, and that's why he wants to buy it to free it.

00:13:33.000 I don't know if he's right about that.

00:13:34.000 It doesn't... I'm on it a little bit, but it's such a small thing.

00:13:37.000 It's kind of like the bathroom stall wall, it feels like.

00:13:40.000 Yeah.

00:13:41.000 More than the Town Square.

00:13:42.000 I wonder if him just saying, okay, forget it, I'm not buying it, let it fail, might be the right move, than try and waste energy and time pouring all this money into some, you know, relatively dying platform.

00:13:53.000 It'd be cool if he could free the software code, but we really don't need it.

00:13:56.000 What would be the town square, though?

00:13:58.000 YouTube?

00:13:59.000 Yeah, I guess.

00:13:59.000 I think so.

00:14:00.000 What do you think?

00:14:00.000 It's not centralized.

00:14:02.000 There's disparate communities.

00:14:03.000 The thing about Twitter is it's really easy to overlap with different groups.

00:14:07.000 So, you know, Ben was mentioning that he trends once every three weeks, and it's because one of his tweets will merge into another community, which will then go nuts about it.

00:14:18.000 YouTube doesn't do that.

00:14:19.000 YouTube is much more rigid, you know?

00:14:22.000 Like, you don't get shown stuff that is outside of their... It's very siloed.

00:14:26.000 You can't retube a video.

00:14:28.000 True, yeah.

00:14:29.000 True.

00:14:30.000 And so, they used to have that.

00:14:32.000 Your channel page.

00:14:33.000 You could post stuff on your channel page and all your followers would see your channel posts.

00:14:36.000 That was in 2007.

00:14:38.000 I think you can still do that if you like.

00:14:39.000 Yeah, your community.

00:14:40.000 Yeah, you like stuff, but YouTube can't capture that.

00:14:43.000 So Twitter became this rapid... It became political because it's... What are you posting?

00:14:49.000 You're posting ideas.

00:14:50.000 YouTube, you're posting videos.

00:14:51.000 Instagram, you're posting photos.

00:14:52.000 So it makes sense that the platform that typically is about text, idea, concepts, information would become political news, some of the highest level stuff.

00:15:01.000 The problem is Twitter sought to light itself on fire, burn itself to the ground, and make it a trash platform that nobody wants to use.

00:15:08.000 I thought it was doomed from the beginning.

00:15:10.000 2008, there's videos of me in 2008 when all the people are like, hey, this new thing, it's Twitter.

00:15:14.000 I'm like, oh great, another one.

00:15:15.000 We just did Facebook.

00:15:16.000 We already have YouTube.

00:15:17.000 We just have, we have our, and they're like, we're going to tweet our message, our six word messages to each other.

00:15:17.000 What are you guys doing?

00:15:23.000 I'm like, dude, text is going to warp our minds.

00:15:25.000 Don't fall into it.

00:15:27.000 I agree and disagree, especially with the text warping your mind, but disagree on the prospects of Twitter.

00:15:31.000 When I started using it, I think I signed up in 2009, I was like, what's the big deal with this?

00:15:36.000 And then within a little while I was like, whoa.

00:15:38.000 Now I get it.

00:15:39.000 The rapid virality.

00:15:41.000 Like, you tweet something, and if it's good information, if it's a funny joke, it ripples outward in a massive wave that gets bigger.

00:15:49.000 That little pebble you drop can become a tsunami.

00:15:51.000 Remember that woman who was on a plane and she made that joke about AIDS and then her phone was off and then when she landed they destroyed her life? 0.88

00:15:59.000 She had like 200 followers.

00:16:00.000 Did you ever hear this story?

00:16:01.000 This lady had like 200 followers and then she made a joke about how white people tend not to get AIDS in Africa but it was actually a social justice joke. 1.00

00:16:10.000 The point she was making was that The people who are mostly victimized by this tend to be black, and she said it in a tongue-in-cheek way.

00:16:17.000 This was, like, one of the first major cancellations, I think.

00:16:21.000 The tweet went viral, and she was just some, like, random woman.

00:16:26.000 And she lands, and she, like, had a panic attack.

00:16:29.000 There were news stories written about her.

00:16:30.000 They were going nuts.

00:16:32.000 You know what ends up happening is people, like, there's this viral thread going around explaining how Elon Musk will not be able to save the platform because he doesn't understand that Web 1.0 is over.

00:16:43.000 The era of the Wild West Internet is gone.

00:16:46.000 And this guy explains that in the beginning of the Internet, it was the frontier.

00:16:51.000 It was barren wastelands. 1.00

00:16:52.000 Yeah, you can go out into the middle of a barren wasteland and scream whatever stupid, 1.00

00:16:55.000 ridiculous nonsense you want, because ain't nobody gonna hear it. 1.00

00:16:58.000 Eventually some people show up, and then those who don't like hearing the crazy guy in the 0.98

00:17:02.000 desert screaming leave, and those who think it's funny stick around and watch.

00:17:06.000 But where we're at now with the internet, the foundations have been built.

00:17:09.000 It's not just the frontier anymore, it's totally urbanized.

00:17:13.000 The internet now is the world.

00:17:15.000 You can't just go into the middle of the city and start screaming insane things.

00:17:19.000 The cops will come and tell you to keep it down.

00:17:21.000 They'll say you have your free speech, but you can't scream.

00:17:22.000 People will come and scream back at you.

00:17:24.000 A fight might break out.

00:17:25.000 And so what this guy is saying is, because of that, censorship emerges.

00:17:30.000 And he's like, the only thing the big tech platforms want is for you to calm the F down, be civil.

00:17:36.000 And I'm reading this and I'm like, dudes right about the frontier thing, wrong about the censorship and what they want.

00:17:41.000 The people at Twitter, Are all biased.

00:17:46.000 Not every single person, I mean like the higher-ups, they are.

00:17:48.000 They think they're not.

00:17:50.000 They are.

00:17:51.000 It's baked into their rules.

00:17:52.000 They will ban you for calling someone dude, like when they suspended Zuby.

00:17:56.000 And this makes it not fun.

00:17:58.000 And if you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong.

00:18:00.000 I don't want- I'll put it this way. 0.98

00:18:02.000 How many of you, on your day off, would decide to go somewhere so that someone can scream in your face about how ugly you are?

00:18:11.000 You'd be like, ah, no, I'll just go to the movies instead, right?

00:18:14.000 That's what Twitter has become by eliminating the fun and by their outright bias.

00:18:23.000 I think what you said about the Web One concept is definitely true.

00:18:27.000 And you know, you see Facebook changing the name to Meta.

00:18:31.000 The Metaverse, according to Bloomberg standards, should be like in, I think they said like an $800 billion industry by 2024.

00:18:39.000 And I'm just curious how Twitter would be able to kind of keep up in that kind of direction.

00:18:45.000 I know that text will always be relevant in that respect.

00:18:48.000 I just kind of wonder, it's less versatile.

00:18:50.000 I wonder if it could start moving in that direction.

00:18:53.000 If Elon buys it and links it up with the neural net, maybe.

00:18:55.000 Yeah.

00:18:56.000 Yeah.

00:18:57.000 I was going to say, when I asked about the town square thing immediately, the first thing that came to my mind was, well, maybe it will be the metaverse.

00:19:03.000 And especially if it's, you know, Web 2.0 or whatever this is where, you know, we're talking about like cops or Screaming at you, that kind of thing.

00:19:09.000 I'm imagining there was this, I think it was Wall Street Journal, they had one of their journalists go live in the metaverse for 24 hours and she did a YouTube video about it.

00:19:17.000 They put her in a hotel room and they gave her food.

00:19:19.000 And she had to do all of her meetings, she worked out, she went to bars in it, and she just lived in it and she had to deal with all of these random people and I was like, oh my god, maybe that is the future of our Social media and so imagine what censorship would be like in the metaverse.

00:19:35.000 I was just gonna say there's a it's something that truth theory on Instagram posted that there's a guy who lived a

00:19:41.000 week in the metaverse he only had the goggles on and

00:19:45.000 Like you whatever like eat everything and he said that there were like amazing aspects to it because he would go

00:19:51.000 to like Meditation class and he was meditating for like an hour two

00:19:55.000 hours a day But like there was parts of it that were making him go

00:19:59.000 insane and his dream dreams really messed up because of it, dude

00:20:03.000 I had a dream three nights ago where I was in a video game, but it was realistic

00:20:07.000 It was like this and in order to get through the part that I was at

00:20:10.000 I had to kill a dog in the game, you know I can warcraft world of warcraft you have to fight dogs and

00:20:13.000 stuff and But it was real and it was a little dog and they were like

00:20:16.000 I was like, how do I do this?

00:20:17.000 They're like the most human humane way you know you got to choke it you got it that's

00:20:20.000 all I did in the dream and it was so disturbing and now I'm thinking about these

00:20:25.000 people going into the VR metaverse and they're gonna be killing things like a

00:20:28.000 video game but it's gonna seem real what is that gonna do to people talk

00:20:31.000 about video games make people violent I sickeningly I have

00:20:36.000 I agree and disagree.

00:20:37.000 I think there are gonna be... It's very different from playing a video game with the controller where you're watching a screen and you have some kind of avatar or first-person shooter.

00:20:47.000 You know, we've seen many studies that video games don't cause violence.

00:20:50.000 They can desensitize in other ways that can make violence worse if you're prone to it.

00:20:55.000 I think the real issue is that if you're a regular person and you do metaverse stuff, I don't think you're going to go around beating dogs.

00:21:01.000 But if you're prone to these things, then this could exacerbate or at least desensitize you and make, you know, the tendency to violence worse.

00:21:09.000 A lot of video games, maybe, I don't know, 90%, 80% of them are fighting, shooting, punching, kicking.

00:21:15.000 Like, if you get that, and that's all of a sudden all these people are... Geez, I'm sorry, Ben.

00:21:19.000 Well, I've done a deep dive.

00:21:21.000 There's Into the Metaverse and Welcome to the Metaverse, these two podcasts.

00:21:24.000 I think Into the Metaverse is Bloomberg-specific.

00:21:27.000 And, like, just going deep on, like, what is this?

00:21:30.000 And a lot of people, a lot of the execs that they have, they're like, this is huge, but it's not, like, crypto.

00:21:37.000 It's not something you just dump money into.

00:21:39.000 You need to understand what it's here to do and, like, why there are countries, like, I think it was Sweden that bought, like, sizable real estate there for their embassy and stuff like that.

00:21:50.000 So, like, you don't have to go, you can go and Kind of be in person, but they're like what they're really saying is like it's not like a video game think Video games having to bend to meet the internet.

00:22:02.000 So it's spatial web.

00:22:03.000 You're interacting with the internet It's not exactly like a video game.

00:22:06.000 So you're right.

00:22:07.000 There's a lot of violence and stuff like that there, but this is gaming meeting virtual like internet stuff that you would do to go and get paperwork done and the one thing I was thinking about when you were mentioning the dream is is the technology that's coming out potentially being able to give people eyesight that is only virtual but seeing something you know like hooking it in and they're seeing what they're seeing like through camera they wear these glasses in the same way that the heads-up display is mojo vision all the that kind of stuff works but they're actually seeing it through their vision so there's things like that that I got I got something for you you got you got time for a project do some crazy yes get a VR headset

00:22:50.000 Bluetooth link it to a 360 camera.

00:22:53.000 Wear a backpack and have a 360 camera on a monopod going up over your head.

00:22:57.000 Have the 360 degree view on your VR visor screen and learn how to see in 360.

00:23:02.000 Crazy.

00:23:04.000 Yeah, we planned a project a while ago, but we never actually did it, even though it's extremely easy to do.

00:23:09.000 But the idea's out there.

00:23:11.000 Anybody who wants to do it, do it.

00:23:13.000 I have mixed emotions, but I think I would do it.

00:23:16.000 Have you ever, like, in school, they would put these, like, mirrored glasses on to where you see the world upside down?

00:23:23.000 And you would just like throw a ball back and forth, but you wouldn't see it going up like this.

00:23:27.000 You would see it coming down and up, and it was super weird.

00:23:31.000 But once you got the hang of it, it took like 15 minutes, and eventually you got the hang of it.

00:23:36.000 Then you take the glasses off, and you have to adjust again.

00:23:39.000 It takes another 15 minutes to adjust back to the normal way.

00:23:43.000 Let me ask you, Brett.

00:23:44.000 Would you get the Neuralink and plug your brain into a computer?

00:23:46.000 I don't think so, no.

00:23:48.000 Why not?

00:23:50.000 I don't trust it.

00:23:51.000 I don't know.

00:23:52.000 I'm just very wary about all of it.

00:23:54.000 So I was, even though I, you know, live on social media now for work, I was raised without television.

00:24:02.000 Did not, barely watched any movies growing up.

00:24:04.000 Was not allowed to play video games.

00:24:05.000 Was not allowed to have social media until I was, you know, 16 or something like that.

00:24:09.000 One of the reasons why I wasn't on Twitter.

00:24:11.000 Just read a ton.

00:24:12.000 I was a classic homeschooled kid.

00:24:15.000 But I, I just don't really trust That and also with some part of Neuralink where they want to be able to like control dopamine levels and like that kind of thing.

00:24:24.000 I know that's part of it.

00:24:25.000 Some of it is and it's like that.

00:24:25.000 Is that a part of it?

00:24:27.000 That's scary.

00:24:28.000 And it's like that part of it.

00:24:30.000 I think there's something that's interesting.

00:24:32.000 I think the technology is fascinating and it's like if you want to try go ahead.

00:24:36.000 I'm just not going to really be your guinea pig.

00:24:37.000 I think I trust myself more than I trust technology.

00:24:41.000 That's the key right there.

00:24:43.000 Technology is doing something.

00:24:45.000 It's not that we can't do these things.

00:24:47.000 There are ways, but a lot of the times it's like, what's the easiest way to do it?

00:24:53.000 Take this pill and then forget about it.

00:24:55.000 Don't engage with your healing.

00:24:57.000 Well it reminds me of just everything these days.

00:24:59.000 I feel like I look at the world and it's like you can get your groceries delivered to you.

00:25:03.000 You can use an app and suddenly somebody's coming and like hanging up something in your house.

00:25:07.000 Like everything is digitalized to the point that it's like I could just stay and never leave my house.

00:25:12.000 And my life would function on, whether it would be like, you know, wearing VR goggles, being on Zoom, like everything that feels very tactical and real in the world slowly being eroded in my eyes and then add, you know, big pharma and we're just medicating the crap out of my generation.

00:25:27.000 I'm looking forward to the psychedelic metaverse.

00:25:30.000 People are going to be like heavily on psychedelics in the They're making patches.

00:25:35.000 They're making patches for just that.

00:25:37.000 So patches, think cocktails, MDMA, ketamine, slight doses, but you go in to have whatever kind of experience you want to have.

00:25:45.000 I think that's why psychedelics have gone IPO like gangbusters lately.

00:25:50.000 is this idea of also where the metaverse is going.

00:25:53.000 These fully immersive experiences where, like 1984, you almost don't revolt against it.

00:26:00.000 It's servitude in a sense, but you don't revolt against it because you have everything at your disposal.

00:26:05.000 Why get off the couch?

00:26:06.000 I was thinking a new career might be like a nanny, metaverse nannies. 0.90

00:26:09.000 They make sure you're fed and that you're able to poop and pee and take it away for you and make sure your body's clean.

00:26:14.000 You can get robots to do that.

00:26:16.000 So just the distinction here is the current metaverse is like you wear goggles.

00:26:20.000 The future metaverse with Neuralink is you lay down in some kind of sensory deprivation chamber floating, and you plug in your brain, and then all of a sudden your brain experiences the metaverse.

00:26:31.000 That's a scary thought.

00:26:32.000 Somebody should make a movie about that, where you're like in this warm, gooey liquid, and you're hooked up in the back of your head and experiencing... But, you, every day, you know, you wake up, you go, oh man, what a day, and you're, and check this out, you're ripped.

00:26:48.000 You're as fit as fit can be.

00:26:49.000 No, no, no.

00:26:50.000 And you don't work out.

00:26:51.000 Because when you can plug your brain in, it just controls stimulation.

00:26:56.000 So while you're sitting in the metaverse, your body's, you know, just twitching and being programmed to build this perfect lean body in every way.

00:27:06.000 You know, processing the right nutrients, craving the right things, or they just plug in the feeding tube and you put it in your throat and then plug yourself in and... People don't realize.

00:27:17.000 I wonder, what would the purpose of life then be if we were just freaked out?

00:27:21.000 To fight dragons!

00:27:22.000 Obviously!

00:27:25.000 What do you think is the purpose?

00:27:27.000 That stresses me out!

00:27:28.000 What do you think is the purpose of life?

00:27:29.000 Productivity and work.

00:27:31.000 Towards what end?

00:27:33.000 I'm more of an objectivist.

00:27:34.000 What'd you say about like learning?

00:27:36.000 Real quick, just to what end?

00:27:38.000 To what end?

00:27:38.000 To what end, like how far would I go?

00:27:40.000 No, like if the point of life is productivity and work, to what end?

00:27:44.000 Is it just indefinite work and creation, or is there something where you're going?

00:27:49.000 To leave the world a better place than I started it, or to create something tangible.

00:27:54.000 Can it always be better?

00:27:56.000 I think so.

00:27:57.000 Within the realm of physical creation, shouldn't there be some point where we're like, it cannot get any better than this, or something, you know?

00:28:06.000 Maybe, do you think that?

00:28:07.000 I don't know if that's possible, because I feel like human innovation is kind of difficult to I suppose the thing is, if we were to say, like, what's better, it would be people being well-fed, safe, good medical care, and things like this, and better dwellings, better living, and we've dramatically improved that, thanks to capitalism, mind you.

00:28:24.000 And with the metaverse, one could argue that you'll have everything you've ever wanted, all of those things, but it's more like heroin than it is actually making the world a better place.

00:28:34.000 You're starving.

00:28:35.000 You're frail and shaking in the corner, and you're like, I don't want to go work, man.

00:28:41.000 Just plug me in the Metaverse.

00:28:42.000 And then you walk over and you're shaking, you're like super pale, and then you plug your brain in, and then it flashes, and you're standing there 6'6", super ripped NBA star, and you're like, yeah, and you're dunking.

00:28:54.000 And people won't want to walk away from that.

00:28:55.000 Or it's good that haptic feedback is gonna make your muscles strong.

00:28:57.000 You'll be able to live like six days in the span of 20 minutes and you'll have all this knowledge when you come out and you'll be a superhuman.

00:29:04.000 That's gonna be hard to compete with.

00:29:06.000 What if we're in that now?

00:29:07.000 Like there's so much nuance with this because like that's a possibility for sure but I think that like what we're talking about here is like what's You were saying, to what end?

00:29:17.000 And could the value come from being hooked up to the metaverse?

00:29:21.000 Imagine if 7.5 billion were hooked up to the metaverse.

00:29:26.000 Perhaps the planet would do better.

00:29:29.000 Perhaps some species or the rate of extinction would slow down.

00:29:33.000 But I also feel that humans... When you had Michael Knowles and Jeremy Boring were on last night.

00:29:43.000 Okay, I thought Seamus was on.

00:29:45.000 He was also on last night, yeah.

00:29:46.000 Okay, yeah, so that was the one that I was listening to when you guys were having the, would it be better to save the dog with the cure for cancer?

00:29:53.000 I was thinking about all that, and the way that they were putting it is like, I feel like we are here to engage with what's already here, and to improve upon it is debatable.

00:30:05.000 It's definitely debatable, but I definitely think that with Much of technology, it's not that we've been ripped from being able to acknowledge that we have what we need here.

00:30:17.000 And a lot of it is like, if we were hooked up to the metaverse, would the planet actually be doing better?

00:30:24.000 Or would we be missing the point?

00:30:26.000 Well, you know, not every person on the planet is destroying it.

00:30:30.000 So maybe what we would need is some powerful individual to create a system where we can round up all of those that we deem unfit and force them into the metaverse.

00:30:39.000 Yeah, you know, and then the world will be a better place once those people are no longer allowed to engage with it.

00:30:39.000 I like this idea.

00:30:44.000 I think China would have the stomach to do that. 1.00

00:30:47.000 Oh yeah, and then you know what we could do, like if there was a pandemic, we could weld people's doors shut and seal them inside until they starve to death.

00:30:54.000 Something about bees.

00:30:54.000 The metaverse would be fine.

00:30:55.000 Yeah, because, okay, that's a good point.

00:30:57.000 No one's gonna want to be stuck and imprisoned in the metaverse.

00:30:59.000 People, like any good slave, they're gonna want you to want to be in it.

00:31:03.000 That's right.

00:31:04.000 Brave new world.

00:31:05.000 Well, it's like the World Economic Forum thing where they're like, in 2030 you will own nothing.

00:31:05.000 Not 1984.

00:31:10.000 You will, well, what is that?

00:31:11.000 You'll be happy.

00:31:12.000 Yeah, that kind of thing.

00:31:13.000 That makes me think of the metaverse.

00:31:15.000 That may be true. They say you will own nothing. I think we should correct that statement from the World Economic Forum.

00:31:21.000 What they should say is, you will own the dragon's bracers of

00:31:27.000 ultimate power and the sword, the level 99 sword of volciferon, NFT, and you'll be so stoked.

00:31:34.000 She's... 1.00

00:31:35.000 The problem is you only own a license to the game that they give you it in.

00:31:39.000 If I get banned off Steam, then I don't have access to any of those games.

00:31:42.000 You'll own the NFT.

00:31:43.000 You just won't have a house, clothes, a car.

00:31:45.000 You'll have your pod, though.

00:31:47.000 You'll have the floating pod.

00:31:48.000 And the best part is, you don't have to eat the bugs.

00:31:51.000 No, no, no.

00:31:52.000 When you're in the metaverse, the bugs just flow through the feeding tube into your gut.

00:31:56.000 And you don't gotta think twice.

00:31:57.000 Has anyone seen the new Blade Runner with Ryan Gosling?

00:32:01.000 A while ago.

00:32:01.000 No.

00:32:02.000 It's a glimpse.

00:32:04.000 Jared Leto's role in that, and what he's talking about, how, like, you know, we lost our stomach for slavery, so now we started creating the slaves, like, full-grown adults and stuff like that.

00:32:14.000 Soundtrack's dope in that, by the way, too, but, like, Very revealing the way they look at like kind of the future of where commerce is going and having like Virtual sex slaves and things along those lines.

00:32:26.000 I think Blade Runner the one with Ryan Gosling It's kind of an eye-opener people are going to go insane from the metaverse Because you take a look at what's going on now with kids and let's just try to be family-friendly adult content on the internet being so just Pervasive?

00:32:44.000 Two-thirds of the internet?

00:32:45.000 The eclectic nature of it.

00:32:48.000 Meaning, like, Rule 34?

00:32:49.000 Rule 34, yeah.

00:32:51.000 The one where it's like, if it exists, there's porn of it?

00:32:53.000 Correct, yes, unfortunately.

00:32:55.000 So, the old rules of the internet.

00:32:57.000 Imagine what happens when you're in the metaverse, and it's not just an image you can look at, but you can actually experience.

00:33:03.000 And so, Black Mirror did an episode about this, where the guy, he goes into the video game, where he's a woman, and he bangs a panda.

00:33:11.000 People are going to go crazy because they're going to get out and be like, you know, I'd love to have a family with you, but I'm only attracted to clouds.

00:33:17.000 It's like, what?

00:33:18.000 Well, in the metaverse, you can go up to the cloud and talk to it and do what you want to do.

00:33:22.000 You know what I'm saying?

00:33:23.000 We're sort of at that point with people in neopronouns.

00:33:25.000 Like I was looking at a girl on TikTok recently and she was like, I identify as like death, death self and plant, plant self.

00:33:31.000 I mean, there is like, yeah, plant self.

00:33:33.000 And it's, where are you?

00:33:34.000 Did you see Doll Self?

00:33:35.000 No, that does not surprise me.

00:33:37.000 She like shaved her head and she's like, I am Doll.

00:33:39.000 Horrifying.

00:33:40.000 One eye like goes, you know.

00:33:42.000 It's up there with the furries.

00:33:43.000 It's worse.

00:33:44.000 Yeah.

00:33:45.000 I mean, look, look, look.

00:33:46.000 I'm fairly libertarian.

00:33:48.000 I don't care if people want to You know, dress up however you want to dress up or metaverse what they want to do.

00:33:54.000 The point is that at a certain point, people are going to, they're going to segment away from, there's not going to be a cohesive society.

00:34:02.000 Yeah.

00:34:03.000 That's my point.

00:34:04.000 A problem is that kids are going to go in and with haptic feedback, full body suits on so they can feel everything they're experiencing.

00:34:10.000 And then someone else is an old man is going to be in there shaped as a cloud.

00:34:13.000 And he's going to be like, come here.

00:34:14.000 here, chop!" And then the kid will go up and basically have sex with this digital sex with 1.00

00:34:18.000 this other person! And it's gonna warp, because yeah, they'll be doing it with AI and interacting, 0.98

00:34:23.000 but it won't be the same as with another human on the other end.

00:34:26.000 Bro, there's gonna be a predator in the game, and someone's gonna meet- it's gonna be a

00:34:30.000 catfish, dude!

00:34:31.000 You're going to be a 30 year old straight guy in the metaverse and

00:34:36.000 you're going to meet this, you know, attractive young blonde woman and

00:34:39.000 you're going to do the haptic feedback stuff and it's going to turn out to

00:34:41.000 be like a 63 year old morbidly obese man who's like, yeah, that's right.

00:34:46.000 Young man.

00:34:47.000 I think this is where the, the identity fluidity is coming in.

00:34:51.000 I definitely believe that it if not intentional, it's working towards the what you can become in the metaverse.

00:34:59.000 In the metaverse, there's already been like, I don't know if it was straight rape, because it didn't have the functionality in the game to do it.

00:35:07.000 But harassment, like several guys coming up and cornering a girl and just not letting her out.

00:35:14.000 You can block someone in the metaverse?

00:35:16.000 You should call it Metaverse Cops.

00:35:18.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:35:21.000 You go like this.

00:35:22.000 For those that are listening, I'm motioning my hands taking the goggles off.

00:35:27.000 But I had to take my goggles off and I didn't want to.

00:35:30.000 Against my will.

00:35:31.000 Or you just click the button that teleports you to the other room.

00:35:35.000 That could be another one.

00:35:37.000 But a lot of what I think this is doing, when you were saying the haptic suits and as I was saying with the patches that can modulate hormones as well as Terrell McSweeney, I think she worked under Barack Obama, she's now talking about the Internet of Bodies and how it's going to get classified.

00:35:55.000 Is it going to be something where if you have a handicap you can fix it by getting your eyesight back or is it an upgrade?

00:36:01.000 And then once it goes that far, they've already talked about if you're a sex offender.

00:36:06.000 And this was, I think, in 2016, Tara McSweeney was, or 2017, she was talking about this.

00:36:11.000 You can have one of these implants that can lower your, create more inhibition against some of those drives of sexual predators.

00:36:21.000 So then they had to start getting into, well, are they allowed to have those drives?

00:36:27.000 What about prison and what prison is?

00:36:31.000 Let's imagine we get to the point where Neuralink is a plug in your brain, right?

00:36:34.000 Because Elon Musk's already done that with the pigs where they put the electrodes.

00:36:38.000 Let's say we get to the point where you actually have a port and it's wireless.

00:36:42.000 You can wirelessly connect to the metaverse. 0.92

00:36:45.000 Let's say you're a child predator.

00:36:48.000 You get convicted.

00:36:49.000 And so they say we're sentencing you to 15 years in the metaverse, but In the metaverse, it's a mundane existence where you can never act upon any of these urges and you're internal in your own basically virtual prison.

00:37:04.000 Your body is being programmed to do menial labor.

00:37:08.000 So the prison sentence is, your body is just, what can I get for you today?

00:37:12.000 We have a double cheeseburger on the menu.

00:37:14.000 In your mind, your conscious self is trapped in this metaverse reality, which is a prison.

00:37:18.000 Feels like Handmaid's Tale.

00:37:19.000 Oh, yeah.

00:37:20.000 I'm also scared that about time warping in the game.

00:37:23.000 So or in the metaverse on a game that where it will literally feel like 15 years of your life, but it's only 20 minutes like inception.

00:37:31.000 And they and they can just snap you in and you're like, or you'd even do it yourself.

00:37:34.000 You're like, I want to live a life and you do it.

00:37:37.000 And it's like when you come back, you barely even remember your friends when you come back.

00:37:40.000 There's a show about that we mentioned, I can't remember if it was a show or a movie, where this guy invents eye drops, and they're nanobots that are programmed to make you experience a certain amount of time.

00:37:52.000 So, the original idea is like, you drop it in your eye, and then you're on a ski trip.

00:37:58.000 And so it's like, in the blink of an eye, you have a weekend in, you know, Aspen.

00:38:02.000 But then the guy's like, I want to turn into a prison.

00:38:05.000 And so he makes like a 50-year sentence or whatever, something like that.

00:38:08.000 And then, you know, this woman gets trapped in it or something. 0.81

00:38:12.000 I don't know, something like that.

00:38:12.000 It's crazy.

00:38:13.000 I think you might be referring to an episode of Black Mirror.

00:38:16.000 Was it Black Mirror?

00:38:16.000 Yeah, it was some guys who were up north in one of these, like, um, like an arctic, um, fort or something, and they realized that they were not actually in reality, because they couldn't go outside, they couldn't do anything, they were like, oh my god.

00:38:27.000 No, that's a different movie I'm talking about.

00:38:29.000 And there was a lady who got stuck in it, she was like screaming and trying to get help, and she, it felt like years and years had passed, and it had been like ten minutes or something.

00:38:36.000 That is one of the most horrifying things to me.

00:38:38.000 The idea of being able to get people to believe that it's been a really long time.

00:38:43.000 Kind of a Rip Van Winkle effect.

00:38:44.000 It's like insane.

00:38:46.000 I really don't like the direction this could go.

00:38:49.000 Who knows how we could psychologically torture people.

00:38:51.000 I think it's called Other Life.

00:38:53.000 Interesting.

00:38:54.000 Do you remember when I was talking about the fourth turning, the first time it came on, and it was like, during a crisis period, the most advanced weapons of war are used?

00:39:04.000 What you just explained, Lydia, seems it to me.

00:39:08.000 Like, you know, torture on the deepest psychological level.

00:39:11.000 Then getting back to the prison thing, what's interesting is like, you know, prison, at least it has this, you know, attempt in the title of being a rehabilitation facility.

00:39:24.000 Could something like that actually get more targeted into rehabilitation?

00:39:28.000 Because I know that I think it was in Not Nevada.

00:39:31.000 It might have been Arizona.

00:39:32.000 There was a prison where they just decided to dress all the inmates in pink, paint all the walls pink, and it lowered crime incredibly.

00:39:41.000 And then there's this other one in Thailand when I was out there training in Muay Thai

00:39:46.000 where you could actually fight your way out.

00:39:48.000 And their world champion fought his way out of prison.

00:39:51.000 You could actually fight it out.

00:39:52.000 Really?

00:39:53.000 Like in Batman when they're like, if you can climb out, you're free?

00:39:56.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:39:57.000 And this guy did, he became world champion. 0.99

00:39:59.000 Then Dave LaDuke, a Canadian, came and whooped his ass in bare knuckle boxing. 0.98

00:40:05.000 I think there's more we could do prison-wise to not make it what prison does to people. 0.99

00:40:11.000 I think you could probably get more intelligent with what you said using the metaverse or whatever, maybe plant medicine, something like that.

00:40:18.000 You just can't force people to do plant medicine, at least morally.

00:40:23.000 Administrate psychedelics to prisoners, you mean?

00:40:25.000 Ayahuasca.

00:40:26.000 You know, how many people have these life-changing experiences under right guidance?

00:40:31.000 Under the wrong guidance, it could be the worst thing.

00:40:33.000 What if we start programming prisoners?

00:40:36.000 What if, you know, we get to this point where such bad things happen in our society, we just say, you know what, it is better that we neural link or, you know, program the brain Instead of sending them to prison, we, like you were mentioning with child predators, we wire their brain in a way so that they cannot act on certain impulses or whatever, you know what I mean?

00:40:57.000 Like, turn off the aggression, turn off attraction.

00:41:02.000 Don't they already chemically castrate some people?

00:41:05.000 Do they do that?

00:41:06.000 I believe so, yeah.

00:41:07.000 Could be wrong about that.

00:41:08.000 Not in every... I think I've heard of that in countries.

00:41:08.000 Maybe that was a movie?

00:41:12.000 I know that I heard that recently, people in Ukraine saying, like, if we capture Russians, we're going to castrate them.

00:41:18.000 Yeah, that's like a threat of... And that's in war as well, not prison.

00:41:22.000 Do they do this?

00:41:23.000 Because it's maybe just some fictional idea where a sex offender gets, you know, pills so that they can't... But it's child predators.

00:41:32.000 Yeah, is that... I think so.

00:41:33.000 Let me look it up.

00:41:34.000 But I think that's interesting.

00:41:36.000 Because, like, think about, like, a lot of people say, well, prison, like, people don't commit some crimes... Some people don't commit crimes for the threat of what might happen.

00:41:46.000 So, like, imagine the threat of a Neuralink in your brain where all those urges go away.

00:41:51.000 And it's not up to you anymore.

00:41:53.000 What if, I mean, man, Neuralink is some scary stuff, man.

00:41:57.000 Because I don't think we even understand how terrifying it can be.

00:42:01.000 It's not going to be wired.

00:42:02.000 It's going to be wireless.

00:42:03.000 Why would you need a wired cable?

00:42:05.000 No, it's going to Wi-Fi, connect to your brain, and then someone's going to hack your brain and make you experience some crazy stuff and then what happens if someone hacks your

00:42:15.000 brain and then you're you're feeling like you're being attacked by ninjas and you're

00:42:19.000 really just beating the crap out of strangers you know the lack of 0.73

00:42:23.000 control is just probably the most horrifying thing yes I think social media

00:42:26.000 is like the early adoption of that the way people can be twisted just by

00:42:30.000 media well I was even thinking with like metaverse stuff like we've seen

00:42:34.000 especially with the Gen Z and you know my generation that's grown up with social media

00:42:39.000 just like are all like our slew of mental health issues and the way that we are

00:42:43.000 desensitized to basically everything and the way that we function is so

00:42:48.000 drastically different I mean you look at I did a business program at Berkeley before I graduated and we had this whole class on like corporate psychology and it was all of these HR departments at huge orgs

00:43:01.000 Prepping for Gen Z because they're like, you're so sensitive. 1.00

00:43:04.000 You are, you know, we have to basically rework our entire structure to prep for this generation that has been, you know, royally screwed by social media.

00:43:12.000 So it's like if that is just what has happened with, you know, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, like what the hell is going to happen?

00:43:18.000 The reason I asked you earlier how you felt about it was because I think what will end up happening The Metaverse will not be popular at first.

00:43:27.000 Some people will get it for necessity because it'll be easier to work when you're using the Metaverse and it'll probably start with a headset.

00:43:33.000 Eventually they'll make some kind of simple EEG interface.

00:43:37.000 Eventually some people will opt to get some kind of like wireless implant.

00:43:41.000 When the young people are entering the workforce, it's going to be normal. 0.99

00:43:46.000 People are going to do it.

00:43:47.000 It's not going to be an issue of whether you think it's weird or creepy.

00:43:49.000 It's going to be like, oh, but you know, everyone does it.

00:43:52.000 What I wonder is how much diet plays a role, because you were saying before the show that your keto, or you've been keto for a while, and it helped clean up the mind.

00:43:59.000 I found that cleansing the gut biome, and I wonder It's hard to measure how much of it is these microplastics or estrogen in the water.

00:44:08.000 Have you studied this stuff, Ben?

00:44:09.000 I know you look into this stuff from time to time.

00:44:11.000 Is it quantifiable how much diet has impacted the youth in addition to social media?

00:44:17.000 Because I, for a long time, just thought it's got to be social media.

00:44:19.000 It has to be.

00:44:20.000 It's such a nuanced question because look at our topsoil and now look at our microbiomes.

00:44:26.000 The microbiome of the earth is eroding.

00:44:30.000 The amount of supplementation you need to have the microbiome naturally that our ancestors had is going to cost you a lot of money.

00:44:39.000 You can't do it on low or minimum wage.

00:44:42.000 So that's just the microbiome.

00:44:44.000 And then you're adding on top of it the PCBs, the microplastics, whatever else is in there.

00:44:50.000 I'm hearing a lot about graphene and stuff like that, even in water supplies.

00:44:54.000 So there's things that we can account for, things that we can't account for.

00:44:58.000 And then there's sedentary lifestyle, which is huge.

00:45:01.000 So, like, there was this guy, Steven Jepsen, 80 years old, NeverLeaveThePlayground.com, and he was taking people over the age of 65, and, um, because past 65, if you break your hip, your mortality rate goes through the roof.

00:45:15.000 He was just doing things like two buckets in front of them, bare feet, picking up objects like marbles and tacks with your toes and dropping it into the other bucket.

00:45:24.000 That would, like, work on the talus and up here, and it would actually, they would notice that it was halting neurodegenerative disorders like or diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, stuff like that.

00:45:37.000 And then like making it trickier, like you have to stand up and do it.

00:45:41.000 Stuff like that is important for the brain.

00:45:43.000 It turns neurology back on.

00:45:44.000 It promotes neurogenesis and neuroplasticity.

00:45:48.000 And that's just what we can quantify.

00:45:50.000 So like, it's a whole new playing field because the like everything from the soil to the way we sit all day long.

00:45:57.000 And as you were saying, like a very sedentary lifestyle and We've gotten to the point where we don't need to get up anymore.

00:46:03.000 And the metaverse is going to exacerbate that.

00:46:05.000 So it's really it's those who want to engage with health and decide that I'm not going to wait for somebody else to do it for me.

00:46:12.000 I need to do it for myself.

00:46:13.000 And that's huge, especially with like the pharmaceutical conversation, where it's like, I mean, you can look at how many kids in the last 20-25 years have suddenly been diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, or any other mental health thing.

00:46:26.000 And so you just throw any drug on top of them, rather than addressing what is your lifestyle?

00:46:31.000 What are you eating?

00:46:32.000 Are you even going outside?

00:46:34.000 How much time are you spending online?

00:46:35.000 It's like, sure, here, take these meds.

00:46:37.000 That kind of thing.

00:46:38.000 We're just royally screwing up our bodies when they're very natural.

00:46:41.000 And this isn't like some hippie holistic whatever.

00:46:43.000 It's like, no, we have... It's very new that we have just been, you know, throwing these things on our brains.

00:46:48.000 It's new.

00:46:49.000 Literally, the technology, the pills, the chemicals didn't exist, depending on which medicine, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago.

00:46:56.000 Hormones were isolated, I think, at the beginning of the 1900s, and estrogen was in the 60s.

00:47:01.000 High fructose corn syrup, aspartame in the early 80s, like that stuff's relatively new too.

00:47:05.000 Sucralose, all this weird stuff we're doing.

00:47:08.000 The fact that you have to say, this food is organic, over here, like we're gonna label it as organic is strange, because now look at the ratio of organic to non-organic.

00:47:18.000 in stores.

00:47:20.000 Like the fact that you have to label it like that means that everything else is not and it probably has things in that that will affect you.

00:47:28.000 Neurotransmitters all the way down to the hormones.

00:47:31.000 So like it's a lot and you were just talking about like well you said ADHD but like autism.

00:47:37.000 Yeah.

00:47:38.000 We laugh at simple approaches to these things and we applaud pharmaceutical, profit-based ones, whereas if you speak to somebody with autism in a prosodic voice, meaning kind of lilting, poetic, up and down, it halts in its tracks the symptoms of autism almost completely.

00:47:58.000 And this was Stephen Porges' polyvagal theory.

00:48:01.000 Just the way you speak to them is different.

00:48:03.000 They stop staring at your mouth and they start staring at your eyes.

00:48:06.000 Symptoms go away.

00:48:07.000 And that's just one of many things and we don't get into that conversation because just let the pharmaceutical companies take care of that.

00:48:17.000 That's the narrative.

00:48:18.000 It's the same with schizophrenia and that sort of thing.

00:48:21.000 We have a very good family friend of ours who runs a fantastic non-profit and he is a schizophrenic but he is completely Controlled his voices.

00:48:30.000 I think he also has OCD.

00:48:32.000 I'm pretty sure he's bipolar as well.

00:48:33.000 Multiple personality disorder.

00:48:34.000 That kind of thing.

00:48:35.000 He had a whole slew of trauma when he was younger.

00:48:36.000 Was in jail many, many, many times.

00:48:40.000 Completely turned it around.

00:48:42.000 Is now fully in control of his voices.

00:48:44.000 Runs two businesses and his non-profit.

00:48:46.000 And is totally, like, carnivore.

00:48:48.000 But it's all based on lifestyle.

00:48:50.000 And he's totally off meds.

00:48:52.000 And it is wild to see how those very simple... I mean, you have to be very, you know...

00:48:57.000 committed to those lifestyle choices, but the power that you have as an individual to make those changes to not be,

00:49:02.000 you know, at the beck and call of a, you know.

00:49:05.000 That was a really intense conversation, you guys.

00:49:07.000 I just about so much.

00:49:09.000 Let's tone it down a little bit and talk about how the Russian state TV has said the Ukraine invasion has already

00:49:14.000 escalated into World War 3.

00:49:15.000 Cool.

00:49:16.000 Viewers were told to recognize that Russia is now fighting against NATO infrastructure, if not NATO itself.

00:49:21.000 Okay, I don't... I'm honestly really tired about Ukraine, World War 3, blah blah blah.

00:49:28.000 I was working on my main segment for my TimCast channel.

00:49:32.000 And originally, I was like, I guess we'll talk about this because, you know, the West is supplying weapons to the Ukrainians.

00:49:37.000 They did sink the Russian flagship, the Moskva, and now they're saying it's World War III because Western forces are basically supplying Ukrainians.

00:49:44.000 And then I was like, I'm gonna talk about Elon Musk because I'm just kind of sick of talking about this. 0.86

00:49:50.000 And the bigger issue here, I don't think, is the day-to-day play-by-play of the war and the stupid points being made by pundits, but the fourth turning.

00:50:01.000 So I'm going to use that to launch back to, you know, I think maybe the first time we had you on, Ben, we were talking about the fourth turning, and how we didn't know what it was going to be, maybe war with China, and now it looks like it's going to be war with Russia.

00:50:14.000 Brett, are you familiar with what the fourth turning is?

00:50:16.000 No, not at all.

00:50:17.000 Alright.

00:50:17.000 Do you want to give us the elevator pitch, Ben?

00:50:19.000 I will, and first I'd like to say that you wanted to tone it down into World War III.

00:50:24.000 I just wanted to make sure the audience also understands that, yeah.

00:50:28.000 So Neil Howe and William Strauss wrote a book back, published in 1997, I think they researched it for 10 years, and it's called The Fourth Turning.

00:50:38.000 And in 97, when this book came out, it's laying out like sometime around, well basically there are seasons, and it takes about 80 to 90 years.

00:50:47.000 So every 80 to 90 years, there seems to be a crisis period.

00:50:51.000 So you go back, it was World War II, Great Depression.

00:50:54.000 Back before that, it was Civil War.

00:50:56.000 Back before that, Revolutionary War.

00:50:58.000 You could even trace it back before that in England with the Glorious Revolution, and a little bit further back.

00:51:04.000 But basically, it's this idea that after a crisis period, there's a high, and then there's an awakening, which would be the 60s, 70s, that kind of culture.

00:51:13.000 And then there's an unraveling, which is, like, I always get into the music that shows you what the culture is, like the Nirvana, Soundgarden, this, like, it's okay not to pretend like everything's great, girls, girls, girls.

00:51:25.000 No, we're going to talk about, like, something is coming apart.

00:51:28.000 So anyway, they said by 2005, give or take three years, there's going to be an inciting incident.

00:51:35.000 And that inciting incident will likely be economic, and it will steamroll into many other things.

00:51:41.000 They mentioned Bill Gates and vaccine agendas in one sentence.

00:51:46.000 They said the possibility for a pandemic.

00:51:50.000 They said the possibility for urban gangs and rural militias at each other's throats.

00:52:00.000 I think BLM and Proud Boys and that kind of stuff.

00:52:03.000 All the way to weapons of mass destruction, or the thought of weapons of mass destruction, a plane being hijacked by terrorists, and then it all potentially comes back on the country itself as a false flag attack, and I'm just like, 97, like all, most of these things come to pass.

00:52:21.000 So the gist is, aside from their, you know, the predictions they put out, which we're seeing to a certain degree, it's that the fourth turning is the fourth season, the fourth generation, or 20 year period, where some great catastrophe happens. And so we're supposed

00:52:35.000 to be in that right now. And the culmination is what it ends 2028, but it should be culminating

00:52:40.000 2026, like the peak, the climax, the crescendo, which is the 250 year birthday of the US.

00:52:47.000 Who's that person who said, I forget what his name is, but he says, empires only last 250 years. That's

00:52:54.000 his life expectancy. And And in every fourth turning, the most advanced weapons of war will be used.

00:53:00.000 So the last one you see, obviously, Nagasaki, Hiroshima.

00:53:04.000 This time around, we were talking last time, like, what do you think it would be?

00:53:07.000 You think it would be bigger bombs?

00:53:09.000 Or more death and destruction?

00:53:11.000 And you said something that I thought was very on point, which was like the mind.

00:53:15.000 It's psychological warfare and what we're talking about now.

00:53:20.000 And then dovetailing into the metaverse, I think, you know, it's that and also this technology that potentially even frequency-wise can modulate hormones.

00:53:30.000 I mean, I think it's already being used, and I would say that there's a lot of people who say that, you know, fourth turning is only like 75 to 80% correct, and I'm like, they wrote it in 97.

00:53:40.000 If they were 50% correct, that's incredible.

00:53:41.000 Right.

00:53:46.000 So is it— And, hold on, Joe Biden, remember, you did that thing where he was talking about the New World Order?

00:53:54.000 He says in that every three to four generations there's this big— I forget the exact words that he uses.

00:53:54.000 Yeah.

00:54:00.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:54:01.000 First, he said something funny.

00:54:03.000 I was in a, what did he say, a high security meeting?

00:54:07.000 Military guy told me this and it's like, Joe, please don't leak clearance information.

00:54:12.000 But what he was saying was that a high ranking military officer told him that effectively the Strassau generational theory was correct, or at least alluded to this idea.

00:54:22.000 Joe Biden says 60 million people died or whatever.

00:54:27.000 And so he says there's going to be a new world order.

00:54:30.000 And he's referring to the liberal world order and what they're saying is it's changing now with this coming conflict and there's going to be a new one and we have to lead it.

00:54:39.000 So it sounds like even Joe Biden thinks things are going to escalate, but let me revise my previous position and entertain a possibility here.

00:54:49.000 In the fourth turning, the most powerful weapons are used, and we talked about this.

00:54:52.000 Maybe it's social media, the psychological manipulation and control of the population.

00:54:56.000 If you can get a country to worship you without firing a single bullet, of course you would.

00:55:01.000 It's cheaper, it's faster, it's easier, it's safer, right?

00:55:05.000 It's more efficient.

00:55:06.000 You save resources.

00:55:07.000 You don't take out power plants you might need in the future.

00:55:10.000 But now we're seeing in Russia, Zelensky, just, he keeps screaming bloody murder. 0.99

00:55:16.000 He's warning now that Russia will use nuclear weapons.

00:55:19.000 I gotta be honest, when he came out and was like, oh no, the nuclear power plant, and the International Nuclear Committee, or whatever this group was, was like, oh, everything's fine.

00:55:27.000 They weren't going after the reactors.

00:55:29.000 I'm like, this guy, I get it, he's desperate for help.

00:55:32.000 Ukraine is being beaten down, Russia is firing missiles, all that stuff.

00:55:37.000 But then when he comes out and says they're going to use nukes, I go, oh, really?

00:55:40.000 And then I see on Russian TV, they're like, NATO is supplying weapons to Ukrainians and they sank our flagship.

00:55:47.000 If the Russians believe the sinking of their Black Sea flagship was NATO and not Ukraine, which they probably do, because let's be real, Ukraine is said to be one of the only countries or the only country to become poorer since the fall of the Soviet Union.

00:56:02.000 They have the capability to sink a Russian flagship?

00:56:05.000 Russia denies it at first, they claim credit.

00:56:07.000 If Russia really does believe that NATO is supplying forces, NATO is attacking them, why wouldn't Russia say, nukes? 0.61

00:56:15.000 Hitler, that's why he declared war on the United States, because they were running weapons to Britain before the, when Britain was at war with Germany, before the United States and Germany ever gone to war. 0.74

00:56:24.000 Think about, Hitler was a genocidal maniac.

00:56:26.000 Putin doesn't seem like it. 0.93

00:56:28.000 He just seems like he wants the territory.

00:56:29.000 So I don't think he's gonna go to World War.

00:56:32.000 I don't think he's gonna declare war on NATO.

00:56:34.000 But I mean, if they keep blowing up Russian ships with NATO weapons, what choice does Russia have at that point?

00:56:41.000 I mean, you could always surrender.

00:56:43.000 They could always surrender.

00:56:45.000 Or call a white peace and just end it. 0.74

00:56:47.000 What if Putin was like, you know, I don't want the world to end, so I quit.

00:56:52.000 And then they just stop.

00:56:53.000 It's happened many times in the past.

00:56:55.000 If you fight a war to a stalemate and both sides decide it's called a white peace, it's over. 0.73

00:56:59.000 There's no victory terms.

00:57:01.000 No one loses.

00:57:01.000 No one wins.

00:57:02.000 Have you heard of Tim Snyder?

00:57:02.000 You brought up Hitler.

00:57:04.000 He writes about Ukraine and Hitler's Eastern Front more than Hitler's Western Front.

00:57:10.000 And he's fully convinced that, and I think he's written seven books on it, that Ukraine was Hitler's eastern aim and maybe the whole aim. 0.79

00:57:22.000 The whole colonization that was happening at that time, they were a little behind, potentially World War I. I'm not as advanced as Tim Snyder was.

00:57:30.000 But he said that his eyes were fixed on Ukraine.

00:57:34.000 And so that's an interesting tidbit of history there in Ukraine.

00:57:39.000 And also, I don't want to side rail it, but this is a book by Yuri Shilov, Ancient History of Arata Ukraine, 20,000 BC to 1,000 CE.

00:57:50.000 So it goes through a lot of history.

00:57:52.000 The ancient history of Ukraine is incredible, and a lot of the spots where there are these burial mounds with like 63 caves underneath, And petroglyphs that seem to be proto-Sumerian.

00:58:04.000 So prior to Gobekli Tepe, the earliest civilization where agriculture comes from, seems to be right in this area.

00:58:12.000 And I mean, there's something really interesting about like the ancient, ancient history of Ukraine.

00:58:17.000 that also where the symbol of the swastika and some even say the yin-yang symbol may have

00:58:25.000 originated there that the the Russians, the Belarusians, the Slavs, the Aryans have an origin

00:58:31.000 primarily in Ukraine. So some kind of sacred land that it's like a land bridge that's for sure.

00:58:38.000 It's flat, and it connects Asia and Europe.

00:58:40.000 A lot of their most sacred spots were all along the Dnipro River, and also there's Kortitsa Island, which is in the Dnipro, and Tibetan monks claim their origin to be there, in Ukraine, and supposedly even have documentation to prove it.

00:58:56.000 All in this book, but the thing is, is Yuri Shailov, an Anatolian coefficient, leading archaeologist and sumerologist, you can't find anything in English except this book.

00:59:05.000 And I've tried to get in touch with him, I've tried to get in touch with Tim and Heather Lee Hooker that have translated some of the work.

00:59:13.000 Nowhere to be found.

00:59:14.000 Yeah, the Black Sea port makes it such an amazing piece of land to control strategically.

00:59:18.000 You can get into basically the oceans and you can get all over the continent.

00:59:23.000 Just a quick thing on the Black Sea.

00:59:25.000 As I was researching a lot of this, I find Putin's face everywhere on all these ancient sites.

00:59:30.000 He goes in this submersible.

00:59:32.000 Check out Putin in a submersible in the Black Sea, going down to the bottom of the Black Sea to find an ancient ship.

00:59:40.000 Interesting.

00:59:42.000 And there's... you'll see some of the images where... Oh yeah!

00:59:47.000 What?

00:59:47.000 What is happening?

00:59:47.000 What?

00:59:48.000 You know if he wants to... What if Vladimir Putin was actually just like Nick Cage in National Treasure?

00:59:56.000 And they're trying to frame him because he's going to uncover the secrets of Europe?

01:00:00.000 I did not want this power.

01:00:01.000 I must free them.

01:00:03.000 All the way out to the Ural Mountains, all these ancient sites that apparently belonged to the same core civilization prior to the Sumerians.

01:00:11.000 Putin was everywhere.

01:00:12.000 I found pictures everywhere visiting these ancient sites.

01:00:15.000 So I don't know what it means.

01:00:16.000 I'm just throwing it out there because it's food for thought.

01:00:19.000 Well, I mean, look, Hitler believed in a lot of occult crazy stuff, too.

01:00:22.000 And Putin could be motivated by weird stuff.

01:00:26.000 No idea.

01:00:27.000 Yeah, sure.

01:00:27.000 The Israelis, I mean, that's a holy land.

01:00:30.000 It's all about that area.

01:00:31.000 And maybe not all about it, but a big part of it is they wanted to be in the area where Jesus was.

01:00:36.000 So a lot of times, I mean, it's culturally, there's an importance to people about being in a specific area.

01:00:41.000 Well, you know, I definitely think World War III is an interesting topic, but it is Friday, so maybe we should actually tone things down.

01:00:49.000 World War 4!

01:00:49.000 The next one.

01:00:52.000 No, this one will be a bit more chill and we'll have a good Friday night.

01:00:55.000 Fox News reports Warner Brothers removes dialogue from Fantastic Beasts The Secrets of Dumbledore in China.

01:01:01.000 The move comes after the studio received a request to remove lines referencing Dumbledore's gay relationship.

01:01:06.000 My understanding is that that's like the main plot of the movie, but Brett, you saw it, so... Saw it last night, yeah.

01:01:12.000 So, spoiler alerts, I guess. 0.78

01:01:14.000 The secret is that Dumbledore is gay, which really wasn't... Yeah, watch out. 0.96

01:01:19.000 No, wait, wait, wait, wait. 0.85

01:01:20.000 I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 0.58

01:01:21.000 The movie is called The Secrets of Dumbledore, and the secret is that he's gay? 0.97

01:01:24.000 But that secret was already spoiled years ago, because J.K.

01:01:24.000 Basically.

01:01:27.000 Rowling was kind of... When was that?

01:01:29.000 Yeah.

01:01:29.000 Maybe three years ago?

01:01:30.000 She was like, oh yeah, he's gay, and a couple of the other characters, you know, are non-binary, whatever. 0.76

01:01:34.000 Still everybody hates her regardless. 0.73

01:01:37.000 But yeah, I think here's the thing.

01:01:40.000 I love Harry Potter.

01:01:41.000 The movie was mediocre.

01:01:43.000 It was subpar and there were like three kind of gay points throughout it. 1.00

01:01:47.000 Like it started off with some and there were some like innuendos in like the middle part and then at the end like you see Dumbledore and Grindelwald kind of like have their moment of like, who will I love now?

01:01:59.000 No, they're just like they're fighting but because they are connected Because... I forget what happened in the first one, but they were like, blood is connected because they were lovers or something like that.

01:02:08.000 They technically can't, like, destroy each other.

01:02:10.000 But that's crazy.

01:02:11.000 Yeah.

01:02:12.000 Because, like, in Harry Potter, there's, like... How is it that no one who ever once loved another person ever fought until now?

01:02:19.000 Yeah.

01:02:19.000 Like, you'd have to imagine that would come up quite a bit.

01:02:23.000 You know, it's like, that's my axe.

01:02:25.000 I can't fight her because you know.

01:02:27.000 It reminded me of the same thing when Voldemort and Harry are fighting in the Wands.

01:02:32.000 Like, like Combustible.

01:02:34.000 Yeah, if you use that kind of thing, it was that story.

01:02:36.000 It was a similar vibe.

01:02:37.000 I don't know exactly what lines they removed, removed obviously,

01:02:41.000 because I didn't watch the Chinese version.

01:02:43.000 But- Doesn't that make like the movie not work

01:02:46.000 if they remove that from the movie?

01:02:47.000 I feel like, I don't know what the other secret would be.

01:02:49.000 It was like, I don't, like, what would then, what would the whole plot be?

01:02:53.000 It was just kind of like taking down Grindelwald, but there really was nothing going on.

01:02:58.000 They add one scene at the end where after the movie ends, they're like, but wait, what was the secret Dumbledore?

01:03:03.000 And then he pulls up his underwear and it's got roses.

01:03:06.000 He's like, I'm wearing rose underwear.

01:03:07.000 And they're like, oh, that's the secret!

01:03:08.000 Love it!

01:03:11.000 I guess the other, there was another, because Dumbledore's brother is in it, so there is another Dumbledore, and he kind of has like a storyline where there is a secret that's not gay, so I technically think if you remove that, there is another secret Dumbledore. 0.53

01:03:25.000 Oh, they meant, they were referring to the non-main character Dumbledore.

01:03:30.000 Yes.

01:03:30.000 The ancillary character Dumbledore in the title of the film.

01:03:33.000 One of the things you mentioned that really bugs me is, you know, I think Star Wars did it.

01:03:36.000 They ripped off the Star Wars Episode IV, the first Star Wars ever made, with the, what was it, Episode VII?

01:03:43.000 789?

01:03:43.000 It was VII.

01:03:43.000 I think they just re-did the story, but in a different form.

01:03:47.000 It was a shot-for-shot remake, basically.

01:03:49.000 The Force Awakens is a new hope.

01:03:52.000 Did it feel like they did that with Harry Potter?

01:03:54.000 Was it different enough?

01:03:55.000 It was!

01:03:56.000 It was different enough it was not as good.

01:03:57.000 The magic was fantastic, though.

01:04:00.000 I mean, it's interesting going back and, like, watching the original movies, and it's like, I remember growing up being like, oh, this is so epic, and it's like, oh, it's kind of campy now.

01:04:07.000 That's what I was wondering, like, did that secret make it to, like, oh, you kind of broke the fourth wall, this is about, this is too much about this world, not enough about that world.

01:04:15.000 Yeah, you could definitely tell, one thing that I learned was that this, I think it was I'm pretty sure people can correct me if I'm wrong.

01:04:21.000 This was the first Harry Potter film that was produced by Hollywood rather than British filmmakers.

01:04:26.000 Really?

01:04:27.000 And I don't know.

01:04:28.000 I mean, you could tell.

01:04:29.000 There was something about it that I was just like, it didn't feel right.

01:04:33.000 It didn't feel like it really sat in the universe.

01:04:34.000 Maybe that was it, but it was... Kind of like the last Matrix.

01:04:38.000 What if they just... So J.K.

01:04:39.000 Rowling's been doing these screenplays.

01:04:41.000 The books she wrote were fantastic.

01:04:42.000 I love the Harry Potter series. 0.81

01:04:43.000 Seems like these screenplays are just the worst trash I've ever seen in terrible movies.

01:04:47.000 Is she writing the screenplays? 0.97

01:04:48.000 I'm pretty sure she wrote the screenplays. 0.97

01:04:50.000 It wouldn't be funny if they just, like, they announced the new series and it's effectively like Star Wars, a shot-for-shot remake of the Sorcerer's Stone or whatever, but at the end it's like the secret isn't the Sorcerer's Stone, it's just like some woke trash about the character was actually a white supremacist! 0.85

01:05:08.000 Did you see the new Lord of the Rings movie on, I think it's on Amazon?

01:05:12.000 It's a series, right?

01:05:13.000 Yeah, it's a series.

01:05:14.000 And I saw a screenshot that showed like 170,000 down votes and like 10,000 up votes or something.

01:05:20.000 And all these people comment on it.

01:05:21.000 The video's on YouTube.

01:05:23.000 And it's a quote from J.R.R.

01:05:24.000 Tolkien that says, evil can never create anything new.

01:05:26.000 It can only twist and destroy what's already been created.

01:05:29.000 That's interesting.

01:05:30.000 The book, The Master Switch, goes into what Hollywood has been doing lately.

01:05:35.000 You notice that almost everything's a remake?

01:05:38.000 It's this algorithm that's saying, we know how to predict how continually making Spider-Man, continually making Batman and Wolverine and all that stuff, we know how to predict that.

01:05:49.000 And I think that's also going to dovetail into these like, did you guys see what was that Ready Player One?

01:05:55.000 Okay.

01:05:55.000 No.

01:05:56.000 Well, there was that racing game where there's Godzilla and I think there's also King Kong.

01:06:01.000 They're going to immortalize these like archetypal characters in these games to live forever.

01:06:07.000 So they become like almost like these fictitious gods and goddesses from the movies.

01:06:14.000 And, um, I would just want to say one thing, like Voldemort, you mentioned.

01:06:20.000 The two other names that are in Russian, similar to that, is Vladimir and Voldemir.

01:06:27.000 And so I keep hearing that relation between Vladimir and Voldemort.

01:06:32.000 So that was anti-Russian propaganda?

01:06:33.000 I have no idea.

01:06:34.000 J.K.

01:06:35.000 Rowling, what did you do? 0.98

01:06:36.000 The new Superman is gay. 0.99

01:06:40.000 It's like the son of Superman, but he's a bi, I think. 0.88

01:06:43.000 They were talking about doing that with James Bond, I think.

01:06:45.000 No, they were going to do a non-binary.

01:06:47.000 The producer was like, yeah, they were like, oh, well, we're not ruling out that Bond could be a non-binary. 0.86

01:06:54.000 Dude, I legit would love to make short films that, you know, in no way disparage anybody, but just make the point where it's like, we take James Bond, we do an action scene, and then in the end, the bad guy goes, James! 0.58

01:07:08.000 Are you gay? And he goes, yes. And that's the end of it. It's like, you know, and I don't say that to this is not a 0.98

01:07:13.000 critique of the LGBTQ community. It's a critique of Hollywood, just 0.99

01:07:18.000 like to predict how they would play these movies out, how they

01:07:21.000 would do character development, instead of being like, here's

01:07:24.000 what I like. I like it when there's character development.

01:07:27.000 And you you understand the character or you relate to a certain emotion. What I don't like is when they're just

01:07:35.000 like, Dumbledore's gay. It's like, okay, look, you know, if 0.71

01:07:40.000 Dumbledore as part of the plot was in love with a guy, I'd be

01:07:43.000 like, Oh, okay, like, show me the motivation, help me understand it. If

01:07:47.000 If the secret of the movie is literally that Dumbledore likes men, and they've been hammering this point, I'm just like, guys, you didn't make a movie, you made, just make a commercial where it ends with Dumbledore saying he's gay.

01:07:58.000 A social point rather than good writing.

01:08:01.000 I was gonna say, so from the, like, the back side of it, because I was an actor for 10 years, and then while I was in college, my whole plan had been to, like, then go into production and be a producer, and that's what I wanted to do.

01:08:11.000 So I was working at, I was working at an Academy Award-winning production company.

01:08:14.000 It was an indie company, and what I loved about it was that it was, they only produced, like, deeply, like, character-driven narratives, like, brilliant stories.

01:08:25.000 And during BLM, I was working with them around COVID as well, Everything swapped, and instead of- I was on, like, the development team, so my- part of my job was reading every single script submission that we would get and breaking it down, and it switched from, Brett, tell us about the character motivations and what makes these characters tick, what do we learn from it, what is the audience grasping at the end, like, the things that I think are important, to, do we have a Native American story?

01:08:52.000 I mean, we scrapped, like, 70% of the projects that we had agreed to fund and do because they did not tick off enough of the boxes.

01:08:52.000 We don't have this!

01:08:59.000 Did ownership change?

01:09:00.000 It was just like, we're not going to produce it.

01:09:02.000 So it was just like, went back to the screenwriters.

01:09:03.000 Like, we can't do it.

01:09:04.000 And then my job became not, let's like, seek out these fantastic new writers, you know, read whatever comes in.

01:09:10.000 It was like, you need to actively go find things that we can acquire that are like a trans, you know, female Native American story so that we can be the social justice.

01:09:21.000 I mean, it truly got so separated.

01:09:24.000 From what I think is the most beautiful part of entertainment, why I love entertainment, why I love, you know, movies and storytelling, it was truly just, you know, let's check a political box.

01:09:33.000 Was it like the ownership of the, when I asked about the ownership of the company that you worked at, did they change?

01:09:38.000 Oh no, no.

01:09:38.000 Was it different people?

01:09:39.000 They just started acting differently?

01:09:39.000 Nope.

01:09:41.000 Yeah.

01:09:42.000 Social engineering.

01:09:43.000 Well, you know what I was thinking is, is it possible that, you know, maybe in the past 10 or 15 years, a species of small slugs descended on Earth and crawled into people's ears and started to attach themselves and take over their minds and bodies.

01:09:58.000 Is that one way it may have happened?

01:10:00.000 Yeah, what are those little space bears called? 0.57

01:10:03.000 Water bears.

01:10:03.000 Yerks.

01:10:04.000 You guys ever read Animorphs?

01:10:07.000 No.

01:10:07.000 When I was a kid.

01:10:08.000 I think they're called Yerks. 1.00

01:10:10.000 Little brain slugs take over your brain.

01:10:12.000 This kind of came up with Ben Shapiro.

01:10:14.000 He was on the show a couple days ago.

01:10:15.000 We did an afternoon show that's gonna be on TimCast.com, I think on Sunday.

01:10:18.000 We'll put it on YouTube.

01:10:19.000 Okay, cool.

01:10:20.000 And we were talking about just basically facts and how can you convince, how come sometimes you just can't convince people of things.

01:10:25.000 And I think when someone's really agitated, like when someone's really emotionally calm, facts speak volumes.

01:10:30.000 It's easy to pay attention and change your mind and, you know, change your thoughts.

01:10:34.000 When you're agitated and crazy, almost nothing can make you stabilize.

01:10:38.000 Like no matter what comes up, it doesn't matter because you're freaking out.

01:10:40.000 And if like this Wi-Fi is freaking, if all this, this, this energy that we're pouring through the air is like causing people to go nuts.

01:10:48.000 Haywire, I don't know the word.

01:10:50.000 And so they're not able to stay cool when things like, you were saying social engineering, when things like BLM, and it may even have contributed to the rise of these social movements, but I think that's more like a CCP long war game, but that it's just overly impacting people because of the environment.

01:11:05.000 And that's why it's when people say, oh, we just need to, like, how do you convince people of, you know, how do you red pill them, whatever, it's like, just speak the truth.

01:11:11.000 It's like, you can't just do that.

01:11:12.000 Like, we can, you know, talk about facts all day long, but if you are not meeting people on their own turf, if you're not, you know, doing what Daily Wire does and creating culture, what TimCast does, all of this, if you are not, you know, communicating with them in a way that is relatable and tangible and engaging and, you know, is taking into account emotions, especially with the younger generations, where we are All hell is breaking loose at all times.

01:11:35.000 Like, you cannot just convince people with facts alone.

01:11:38.000 It has to be.

01:11:40.000 It's not possible.

01:11:41.000 When you were growing up, did it feel like all hell was breaking loose when you were younger, too?

01:11:44.000 Not at all, but I was in a very... I don't know, not contained environment, but I just didn't... I didn't go to public school.

01:11:51.000 I was homeschooled for my entire life.

01:11:52.000 Yeah, that's great.

01:11:54.000 Um, I went to public school for three years.

01:11:55.000 I did kindergarten, first grade, maybe second grade, and then I did my freshman year of high school, and I was like, this place is awful, and I left.

01:12:02.000 So as a result, I was not in the midst of all of that.

01:12:05.000 I saw it when I got to college and while I was working in Hollywood, but I think I was so, you know, focused on my own internal whatever that it just didn't even phase me.

01:12:15.000 I wanted to go back to your point you said about, you know, facts and convincing people.

01:12:18.000 I actually think that facts typically play a small role.

01:12:22.000 It's almost always emotion.

01:12:25.000 So you want to make someone feel something.

01:12:27.000 When I was doing, when I worked in fundraising for nonprofits, it's all emotion.

01:12:30.000 If you go to someone and you'd say, you know, hi, I'd like to give you some facts about this catastrophe we're facing.

01:12:36.000 Did you know that every day we do X, Y, and Z?

01:12:38.000 And this is where they're going to be like, yeah, okay, thanks.

01:12:40.000 Have a nice day.

01:12:41.000 No, you've gotta, they say the first thing is create a sense of urgency.

01:12:45.000 Ah, that's right, you have to convince them something is imperiled now.

01:12:49.000 You can't just tell them the truth, you have to create it.

01:12:51.000 They would say create a sense of urgency.

01:12:51.000 Create.

01:12:53.000 And you have to make them personally invested in it.

01:12:56.000 You have to make them, there's several ways you can do it.

01:12:59.000 There's things like, if we're gonna talk about a faraway land, we have to make you to blame.

01:13:03.000 Because why would you care about a faraway land?

01:13:05.000 Oh, because it's your fault.

01:13:06.000 If we're going to talk about an issue that does affect you, then you're the victim here, and you've got to help fight back.

01:13:11.000 Like, we got to hold these people accountable.

01:13:13.000 There's always a way to emotionally trigger someone, either through a demand for justice or through guilt.

01:13:19.000 There's an emotion you're trying to target to make them take a certain action.

01:13:23.000 I hated that industry.

01:13:24.000 It's just- That's what I was doing before this.

01:13:26.000 This is what I was doing this summer, was doing copywriting and, you know.

01:13:30.000 What is it called?

01:13:32.000 I worked for an organization that did it, but where you're writing, you know, the pages, yep, and fundraising letters and all of that stuff, like there is basically a blueprint that you follow to get boomers to donate money to you. 0.97

01:13:44.000 These blueprints are typically, they're formulaic, they're typically trash.

01:13:48.000 But the formula's right, they just, what they do is they know the formula. 0.57

01:13:52.000 There's actually a step-by-step process.

01:13:54.000 So these companies will give you a sheet, and it'll give you five boxes, and it'll explain what each box needs to do, and then you write in those boxes, you know, how would you convey the idea.

01:14:05.000 So it says like, one, introduction.

01:14:07.000 Two, sense of urgency.

01:14:09.000 Three, problem.

01:14:10.000 Four, solution.

01:14:11.000 Five, pitch. 0.83

01:14:13.000 And then you're like, you know, they say, follow this formula, write it out.

01:14:17.000 A lot of companies will pre-write these things, hoping that if they hire 100 people, give them the script, 20 of them make it, the rest get fired a week later.

01:14:26.000 And so, you know, I always thought those were trash because people don't, like, you'll see them on the street, like, hi, how are you doing?

01:14:33.000 I'm so-and-so working with such-and-such.

01:14:35.000 We have a huge problem.

01:14:36.000 Blah blah blah.

01:14:36.000 It's all boring and formulaic.

01:14:38.000 If you know how to read people, how they move, how they act, then this job becomes insanely

01:14:44.000 easy but it is almost always an emotional argument.

01:14:47.000 You're either trying to convince them that you're cool and right and they should be on

01:14:50.000 your side, trying to convince them that they should be guilty for being at fault for contributing

01:14:54.000 to this, or that someone is screwing them over.

01:14:57.000 You're never just saying, do you care about the environment?

01:15:00.000 Yes.

01:15:01.000 What's the most concerning thing to you?

01:15:03.000 One of the problems we're fighting is deforestation.

01:15:05.000 Are you concerned about the removal of trees in large numbers?

01:15:08.000 People will be like, I'm sorry, I don't have time for this, and they'll leave.

01:15:11.000 But if you say something like, when you go and, you know, do X, Y, or Z, you are destroying every step of the way, I know you don't mean to do it.

01:15:20.000 None of us do.

01:15:21.000 But don't you think that you should, you know, help clean it up a little bit?

01:15:24.000 Of course you should.

01:15:25.000 I know you're a good person.

01:15:27.000 You don't, you're not the kind of person who's gonna make a mess at someone's house and leave it there, would you?

01:15:27.000 Right.

01:15:31.000 Of course not.

01:15:31.000 Okay, credit card, please.

01:15:33.000 I wonder, and Ben, again, I ask you because you're one of my favorite people on earth.

01:15:37.000 No, I'm just kidding.

01:15:38.000 Just kidding!

01:15:38.000 You're very intelligent.

01:15:42.000 I don't play favorites.

01:15:43.000 I'm talking about the past.

01:15:44.000 Is there like some historiological, you know, reason that we're so tuned into emotion?

01:15:49.000 Well, I don't think we're hardwired for fact.

01:15:52.000 We're hardwired for story.

01:15:53.000 Look at what we've done since time immemorial.

01:15:56.000 Sat around, told stories.

01:15:57.000 You could be like, I'm going to tell you the facts of my day.

01:16:00.000 I hunted this thing and I hunted that thing.

01:16:01.000 But it always ended with the shaman or the chief or somebody wrapping it into a mythological story.

01:16:07.000 And there's a mythos that basically captures every generation, every civilization.

01:16:13.000 There's some kind of narrative, like an overarching narrative.

01:16:18.000 One big one from the Bible is that there will be a Savior and be on the lookout for that Savior.

01:16:24.000 And I think that's, we are hardwired for narrative.

01:16:27.000 And the thing about what's happening in the world today, I'll just say this, you don't have to get people, like, if I wanted to engage your, like, emotions to get you to do something in the world and then to do that to large groups of people, Destabilizing people's sense of equilibrium first, which is basic training.

01:16:49.000 They did that with me.

01:16:50.000 You get the people into a state of stress.

01:16:53.000 It destabilizes their default mode network.

01:16:55.000 It almost puts them into a psychedelic, suggestible-like state.

01:16:59.000 And then what seems to be the context, things that I'm not making you do, but I'm kind of filling in the blanks of what's happening contextually. 0.95

01:17:07.000 We'll create a worldview where like, oh shit, because of everything you just said, I realized what I have to do.

01:17:14.000 And that's setting up the set and setting, destabilizing you, and suggesting and planting seeds, not being overt and on the nose. 0.99

01:17:22.000 Let's just, going off what you said, this is what I thought of.

01:17:25.000 Let me tell you about the hunt I went on.

01:17:28.000 So I went out into the woods.

01:17:30.000 I had my rifle with me.

01:17:33.000 There were some issues.

01:17:35.000 We saw the buck.

01:17:37.000 I lined it up.

01:17:39.000 We got it.

01:17:39.000 It was great.

01:17:40.000 Big guy.

01:17:41.000 Let's try another version.

01:17:43.000 So there I was.

01:17:44.000 I'm walking through this mud.

01:17:48.000 I see the beast.

01:17:50.000 Dim the lights.

01:17:50.000 Massive.

01:17:52.000 I get my rifle ready.

01:17:53.000 I'm jammed.

01:17:54.000 It notices me.

01:17:57.000 I take the shot.

01:17:58.000 We got it.

01:17:59.000 We go over there, this thing was magnificent, beautiful, the biggest you've ever seen.

01:18:04.000 Which would people prefer to hear?

01:18:07.000 You're driving emotion, you're trying to create a sense of what's happening.

01:18:10.000 So, storytelling.

01:18:12.000 I think about these, we play D&D or Magic the Gathering or whatever and you've got these games based on goblins.

01:18:19.000 And I'm like, you know why there are stories about goblins?

01:18:21.000 Because some guy went to go sell beans at the market.

01:18:25.000 And while he's walking through the woods, he comes across some ugly dude who's yelling about something or other.

01:18:30.000 And he's like, everybody's always coming here and messing things up.

01:18:33.000 This is my road.

01:18:34.000 I've been working on it.

01:18:35.000 It's like, get out of here, dude.

01:18:35.000 And he walks away.

01:18:37.000 When he goes back home, he doesn't say some guy yelled at me.

01:18:38.000 He goes, so I'm walking through the woods.

01:18:41.000 And a vile creature emerged with a crooked nose and pointed ears. 0.88

01:18:45.000 And he snarls. 0.96

01:18:46.000 And I'm like, back beast!

01:18:48.000 And I draw my blade.

01:18:50.000 And so people tell these stories, someone writes it down and draws pictures

01:18:52.000 and they're like, wow.

01:18:53.000 And then we imagine these vicious monsters and these giant, you know, there I was fighting the dragon.

01:18:59.000 And it's like a small lizard.

01:19:00.000 You know, Homo florensis, that hominid, I think those are maybe where the fantasy goblins 0.85

01:19:05.000 come from, those little small humans. 0.98

01:19:07.000 And they were, I think, they historically would eat human children, like they would steal them. 0.82

01:19:11.000 They found some new ones a couple of years ago.

01:19:13.000 Whoa, yeah, this is what I've heard.

01:19:13.000 They would steal children?

01:19:14.000 They found new...

01:19:18.000 Mythological stories of small people like the Menehune in Hawaii and also like many of the islands that apparently built all the structures before the regular stature people would get there.

01:19:30.000 They're stories of little people and giants.

01:19:33.000 Everywhere.

01:19:33.000 Native Americans have a lot of stories.

01:19:34.000 I think they're called the giants.

01:19:36.000 Right, but like cannibalistic giants, Native Americans from Pennsylvania all the way down to Tennessee, actually. 0.99

01:19:44.000 Say that there's cannibalistic giants? 0.77

01:19:46.000 Giants, yep.

01:19:47.000 Like, are they weird large humans that are kind of naked and can all be killed by slicing the nape of their neck? 0.98

01:19:53.000 No, but go on.

01:19:55.000 Did you know what I was referencing when you left?

01:19:57.000 Oh, it's Attack on Titan.

01:19:59.000 Yeah, but you left and I was like, are you familiar?

01:20:01.000 All the guys in the chat are gonna be like, but I guess not, so guys, calm down.

01:20:05.000 I also think you have a good voice for story.

01:20:07.000 You should do some voiceover like that.

01:20:10.000 Oh yeah, I'm Dr. Fauci in Freedom Tunes.

01:20:13.000 But now that Fauci's out of the news cycle, I'm out of work, man.

01:20:13.000 I love it.

01:20:17.000 Well, I think this is a great opportunity for you to start storytelling again.

01:20:20.000 Well, I asked Seamus if he would let me voice Nancy Pelosi on his show, and I don't think he wants to.

01:20:26.000 But she talks like this, like her mouth is falling from her face.

01:20:30.000 I think Donald Trump... You know, I definitely go over the top with it on purpose because I don't like her. 0.99

01:20:37.000 Okay, so maybe we are in the psychological world.

01:20:39.000 I think it's a storytelling era.

01:20:41.000 You're an actor.

01:20:42.000 I was an actor.

01:20:42.000 Ben, I mean, you're a performer.

01:20:44.000 I went through acting classes mainly to learn how to write.

01:20:48.000 Tim, creator, performer. 0.94

01:20:49.000 Yeah, but I was just gonna say, growing up as an actor, I would get a lot of crap Especially from, like, family members who are like, you're too smart to be, you know, being in entertainment, doing whatever.

01:21:01.000 Like, well, everything that we're saying that we are, you know, that humanity is inherently, you know, narrative-based.

01:21:07.000 I mean, everything we learn from stories.

01:21:09.000 It's why, I mean, we spend however many hours of our week, you know,

01:21:13.000 consuming movies and television shows.

01:21:16.000 Everything that we learn is subconsciously, you know, coming from

01:21:18.000 the stories that we are watching.

01:21:20.000 And it's so important.

01:21:21.000 And so it always disappointed me when people were going, well, why are you doing that?

01:21:25.000 It's like, well, I feel like I could be, this is the most important work that I

01:21:27.000 could be doing if I'm, you know, leveraging my craft, basically, in a way that is

01:21:33.000 meaningful and that I think is aligned with my values, there's nothing better

01:21:36.000 because that's the way that people learn.

01:21:38.000 That's the way that you change minds.

01:21:40.000 That's why it's like I don't not want to give up on Hollywood, but not want to give up on entertainment and the power that it holds.

01:21:49.000 I think what Ian was trying to say is that when I tell you this next story, instead of saying Joe Biden mocked for shaking hands with thin air after speech, I should go, so there he was.

01:22:00.000 Biden turned to his right in his mind, the hallucination of a strong man reaching out to shake his hand.

01:22:08.000 Biden reached But there was nothing.

01:22:11.000 But the best part of this is Stars and Stripes is on top of all of that happening.

01:22:15.000 The band playing at its greatest.

01:22:17.000 So Joe Biden claims that society puts the smartest and the best in power.

01:22:21.000 I don't understand.

01:22:22.000 This is just derangement.

01:22:24.000 Well, they hated Donald Trump. 1.00

01:22:25.000 And they were willing to take the craziest, laziest out of his mindiest. 0.99

01:22:32.000 So this is what we get.

01:22:33.000 I don't think Joe Biden will be able to run in 2024.

01:22:35.000 Absolutely not.

01:22:36.000 I mean, Ben was saying that they're going to strap him to a gurney, but I'm like, come on.

01:22:40.000 Yeah, I guess.

01:22:41.000 But even that's not going to work.

01:22:42.000 Maybe he'll run and then try and make somebody else look good.

01:22:45.000 You know what his slogan would be?

01:22:47.000 Tune in on a shovel of pressure.

01:22:49.000 Or next Nelresson.

01:22:50.000 Yeah, or that.

01:22:51.000 And Batacav here.

01:22:53.000 Here's a new one.

01:22:53.000 Remember when he said the United States can be summed up in one word?

01:22:56.000 And he said, I've survived for many, many years.

01:22:59.000 Or something like that.

01:23:00.000 My favorite is just, we're back.

01:23:02.000 We're back.

01:23:03.000 We're back.

01:23:03.000 That's the only thing you can actually say coherently is, we're back.

01:23:07.000 Oh, he can say, come on, man.

01:23:08.000 That's it, yeah.

01:23:09.000 Look at that.

01:23:10.000 It's gonna get real.

01:23:11.000 He's good at saying, Putin caused inflation.

01:23:13.000 Or go get him.

01:23:15.000 That was the end of his State of the Union.

01:23:17.000 His catchphrase is, it's not my fault, it's Putin's fault.

01:23:20.000 Period, yeah.

01:23:20.000 It's not my fault.

01:23:21.000 He like slips on a banana peel.

01:23:23.000 Oh, Putin! 0.97

01:23:24.000 Did you guys see that he got shat on by a bird? 0.98

01:23:26.000 Yes.

01:23:27.000 Yeah, and everybody was like, oh, he's gonna blame... Tim made a video earlier, I think, analyzing it.

01:23:32.000 So, Snope says he wasn't pooped on, it was actually corn.

01:23:32.000 What'd you come up with?

01:23:37.000 Or a corn... I said it was a corn by-product.

01:23:40.000 Oh, it was.

01:23:41.000 A literal corn pop.

01:23:42.000 He was standing next to a big pile of corn at an ethanol plant, where they take corn and turn it into ethanol.

01:23:47.000 And so they said, it clearly was corn, and when they show it in slow motion, you can see it hits him, and it does break apart, like, bits, and not goop.

01:23:57.000 However, here's the issue.

01:23:59.000 The New York Post said it was bird poop.

01:24:01.000 Snopes and many other outlets said it was corn.

01:24:03.000 And I'm like, no one actually knows.

01:24:05.000 None of you can prove it.

01:24:07.000 The White House claims it was corn.

01:24:08.000 You don't know that.

01:24:09.000 So here's what I say.

01:24:11.000 The splatter?

01:24:12.000 On his lapel.

01:24:14.000 The corn retains.

01:24:16.000 It looks like if it was corn, and it might be, it's in a viscous matter of some sort because if powdered corn ball hit you, the whole thing would break apart.

01:24:29.000 If there was a wet ball with corn in it, it would hit you, and then corn bits would splatter down, but it would retain its splatter shape because there's a viscous material holding it together.

01:24:40.000 I say it's possible that there was a bird in there that ate a bunch of the corn, and then pooped it out on him, and it was in its poop.

01:24:46.000 Or, the simple answer is, why are fact-checkers claiming they know what it is when they don't?

01:24:51.000 By all means, say, we don't know if it was bird poop, I'm fine with that.

01:24:53.000 Something fell on him, sure.

01:24:55.000 But then they're like, fact-check, Biden wasn't pooped on.

01:24:57.000 I'm like, You didn't fact check, that's your opinion.

01:24:59.000 Yeah, because you could like zoom in on the photo and it's like it doesn't look like typical bird poop.

01:25:05.000 It's not like white. 0.80

01:25:06.000 I mean it does, now that you said the corn, I hadn't seen that.

01:25:08.000 It does kind of look more like that.

01:25:09.000 I mean I got pooped on here the other day.

01:25:11.000 Straight on my eyebrow.

01:25:12.000 That's not good.

01:25:12.000 A bird?

01:25:13.000 It does not look like that.

01:25:14.000 They called it a corn by-product because they couldn't even say it was corn.

01:25:17.000 A corn by-product.

01:25:18.000 It was like partially digested corn.

01:25:20.000 I imagine birds can't digest it fully or something.

01:25:22.000 Or they ate too much, like that giant mound, a bird could have just eaten until it got sick and barfed on them.

01:25:29.000 Or, or, maybe it was a mother bird carrying food around to bring back to the babies in the nest.

01:25:37.000 I had a moment, I was walking up to the front door of the Daily Wire building, and as I'm walking, I'm about five feet from the wall and the door, and I hear a...

01:25:46.000 like a splatter and I look and I see a little white splotch and I was like oh that was close

01:25:50.000 and I look up and there was a little bird butt right over the edge it was just it was just

01:25:55.000 really awesome I could see like there's a little bird standing there and his butt hanging over 0.50

01:25:57.000 I'm like he just took a dump what animals have you guys been crapped on I'll go first if you want

01:26:02.000 Well, Bird, last week, well no, it was like two weeks ago, I did a hit on Ben's show and I was walking back and it went right there and I was like, what?

01:26:10.000 I took the bird, I took the snake.

01:26:12.000 The snake was interesting because it was like this white stuff just came out of the bottom of it on me.

01:26:16.000 It's kind of neat.

01:26:17.000 Oh, uh, human babies.

01:26:19.000 So I get pooped on often.

01:26:22.000 And rabbits.

01:26:24.000 Rabbits.

01:26:24.000 Oh, yeah.

01:26:25.000 Which actually isn't... I mean, they're relentless shitters, but I mean, like, it's just these little dry fertilizer balls. 0.98

01:26:32.000 They also eat their own poop. 0.99

01:26:34.000 Yeah, they do. 0.86

01:26:35.000 I thought you were going to say their own babies.

01:26:36.000 They don't really eat their own poop.

01:26:39.000 What they're eating is... When the rabbits eat plant matter, it has to go through their system more than once.

01:26:45.000 So sometimes poop comes out, and sometimes it looks like poop, but it's actually just partially digested plant matter.

01:26:50.000 They turn around and eat it again.

01:26:54.000 People gotta understand, rabbits are not pets.

01:26:56.000 It's crazy to me that people... Well, they freak me out, too.

01:26:58.000 The white ones with the red eyes?

01:27:00.000 Oh, albino?

01:27:01.000 Are they considered albino?

01:27:02.000 I don't know, they're just weird.

01:27:04.000 They're delicate.

01:27:05.000 They have delicate systems.

01:27:08.000 You can't really bathe them.

01:27:09.000 They're not great pets.

01:27:12.000 People get them for their kids.

01:27:13.000 They chew everything.

01:27:15.000 But they're high-maintenance.

01:27:18.000 Get them a guinea pig. 1.00

01:27:19.000 Yeah.

01:27:20.000 Well, these rabbits attack our feet.

01:27:22.000 They're not smart, you know?

01:27:23.000 I mean, they're fun, actually, but it'll be dark, and I'm walking through the house, and they'll just run straight for my feet, not realizing, like, I could crush you, dude, on accident.

01:27:34.000 What do they think it is?

01:27:35.000 Not that you know.

01:27:36.000 But they're super playful.

01:27:37.000 Like, if I run away, they'll run after me, you know?

01:27:40.000 And my kids love just running across the house.

01:27:43.000 Do you get them fixed?

01:27:46.000 No, we just have two boys.

01:27:48.000 Oh, okay.

01:27:48.000 But they still hump each other like crazy.

01:27:51.000 Really?

01:27:51.000 It's funny to watch.

01:27:52.000 I had some rabbits and, you know, we understood, you know, they're warning, good rabbit, you know, dealers or pet shops will explain to you, like, how you take care of the rabbits.

01:28:03.000 So when I was in Miami, we actually had a whole room with just two rabbits in it.

01:28:08.000 It wasn't that big of a room.

01:28:09.000 But it was like, it was a decently sized room.

01:28:11.000 We just, the rabbits had the room to themselves.

01:28:14.000 They'd poop everywhere and we'd feed them and then we'd clean and stuff.

01:28:16.000 But they started getting into it.

01:28:17.000 Cause it was a boy and a girl.

01:28:19.000 And so it didn't really work out cause you know how rabbits are.

01:28:22.000 And the girl, when she didn't want it, she would jump like eight feet in the air. 1.00

01:28:26.000 Cause we put up a big barrier.

01:28:28.000 So the room was like a sunroom.

01:28:29.000 It was like, It was a room, but the door was just always open.

01:28:33.000 So we put a big thing in front of it, and she would just straight over it. 1.00

01:28:37.000 And one day, I go in there and she's gone.

01:28:40.000 We find her upstairs hiding, because the dude, Rabbit, was like, you know, he was oppressing her.

01:28:47.000 Wow.

01:28:47.000 Good for her.

01:28:49.000 Nice way of saying it.

01:28:50.000 Would I...

01:28:51.000 What I like about it is like there's a lot of fertilizer and I've gotten seriously into the importance of topsoil and just the microbes in the soil and there's like farmers around Tennessee down in Summertown that are like within six years gonna have like several feet of topsoil on their farm like really doing it incredibly so but they have like Guineas, water buffalo, different cows, like tons of different animals, and they're doing it right.

01:29:19.000 So that's why I don't mind seeing the bunny crap everywhere.

01:29:22.000 I just go around sweep it up. 0.99

01:29:23.000 Bunny crap. 0.99

01:29:24.000 You know what this Biden getting pooped on thing makes me think of? 1.00

01:29:26.000 The Bernie Sanders when the bird landed on his podium.

01:29:29.000 Oh yeah, and it was like a magical moment, people.

01:29:31.000 Yeah, and then here's the other magical moment.

01:29:34.000 Well, so we have, you guys probably know it, Chicken City.

01:29:37.000 Oh yeah.

01:29:38.000 And those things poop everywhere. 0.99

01:29:42.000 So what I love about them is that they're smart enough not to drink poop water, but they're not smart enough not to poop in their water.

01:29:49.000 So it's like, you hand them water, they'll drink it, they'll turn around, just take a dump right in it, and look at it and go like, I ain't drinking that!

01:29:53.000 It's like, well you did it, dude!

01:29:55.000 But, uh, when you go into the chicken coop, I always tell people, because when people come over, they'll be like, oh, can I come check them out? 0.98

01:30:00.000 I'll be, yeah, but your feet are gonna be covered, caked, in just chicken crap.

01:30:06.000 And they're like, oh, you wash them off afterwards so you can just not go in there. 0.90

01:30:09.000 But you know, chickens, they poop.

01:30:11.000 Is it safe enough to put plastic bags on your feet?

01:30:13.000 I was just thinking about those painter ones.

01:30:16.000 Or just go with it.

01:30:18.000 Just be one.

01:30:19.000 When I go home to my family's farm, it's like I know for a fact that it's like I'm not coming out unscathed.

01:30:25.000 It must be good for your biome.

01:30:28.000 Was it Joey Salatin, I think is his name?

01:30:30.000 Joel Salatin, he's a farmer.

01:30:32.000 He's all about getting in there with the pig feces and how it enhances your biome and your immune system.

01:30:37.000 He'd be a great guest.

01:30:38.000 I think I'm healthier because I was playing in the dirt as a kid.

01:30:40.000 Oh, I am too.

01:30:41.000 Yeah, for sure.

01:30:42.000 Because I wasn't a Purell kid.

01:30:44.000 Purell kid. 0.95

01:30:44.000 Pigs are scary. 0.95

01:30:46.000 It actually does help with allergies.

01:30:48.000 Early exposure helps with allergies.

01:30:51.000 You just gotta be careful with the parasite cycles. 0.97

01:30:54.000 But actually having a diversity of animals, they'll eat each other's crap

01:30:58.000 and break the parasite cycles as well. 0.88

01:31:00.000 What?

01:31:01.000 Weird.

01:31:01.000 That's weird.

01:31:02.000 Yep, if you have them roaming around the same ground, they'll break the parasite cycles.

01:31:07.000 And also keeping quail is really incredible because they don't make a ton of noise.

01:31:12.000 Their eggs are really dense, you know, nutrient dense.

01:31:16.000 And yeah, they don't make much noise.

01:31:18.000 So you can be in kind of like an urban environment and you won't have that noise all the time.

01:31:22.000 I think I need some quails.

01:31:24.000 Chickens are noisy.

01:31:25.000 Yeah.

01:31:26.000 Yeah, man.

01:31:26.000 We got Roberto, and then we got Roberto Jr., and a kid, and they just yell non-stop.

01:31:32.000 The ladies are cool. 1.00

01:31:34.000 The dudes are loud.

01:31:34.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

01:31:36.000 I think the ladies are actually worse. 1.00

01:31:37.000 Really?

01:31:38.000 So, yeah, the roosters are loud, but the girls just complain all day. 1.00

01:31:43.000 They're not really complaining.

01:31:44.000 They complain to each other.

01:31:45.000 They're actually really happy, but they go around and they go like, bark, bark, bark, bark.

01:31:48.000 They're gossiping.

01:31:50.000 Yeah!

01:31:51.000 So it's one thing to hear a cock-a-doodle-do once in a while, or the crowing.

01:31:55.000 It's another thing when for like 30 minutes you're hearing, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark.

01:31:58.000 Are they laying an egg when they do that?

01:32:00.000 So, typically, it's probably more than one chicken, and they're doing the egg song.

01:32:04.000 What is that?

01:32:05.000 They lay an egg, and then they sing.

01:32:07.000 Oh, wow.

01:32:07.000 Interesting.

01:32:08.000 Have you guys ever had pigs?

01:32:10.000 No, I would love to.

01:32:11.000 Have you?

01:32:11.000 Well, so my mother's birthday was in February, and her birthday present for me was a pet pig.

01:32:16.000 Not a pet pig, but it's out there, but yeah.

01:32:18.000 What?

01:32:19.000 Teacup pig? 0.98

01:32:20.000 No, she's gonna be a full-size. 0.99

01:32:21.000 Her name's Nora.

01:32:22.000 But I got her.

01:32:23.000 She was like two months old.

01:32:24.000 I was here already.

01:32:25.000 I had her delivered to my mom, had it all set up, and I don't know how big she is now. 0.98

01:32:28.000 Her name's Nora.

01:32:30.000 That animal I mean so loud you if she does not want to be touched and she's super sweet and she like comes when you call her she's like a dog but if you touch her in a weird way I mean it's like all hell I mean the loudest thing on the farm by like a long shot and she has all those birds and everything but truly Let's go to Super Chats!

01:33:13.000 Yeah, Fox Nation!

01:33:14.000 Yeah, we'll beat them!

01:33:15.000 All right.

01:33:16.000 All right, send us your superchats.

01:33:17.000 Let's see what you guys got.

01:33:19.000 All right.

01:33:20.000 WootDoo4U says, currently driving up from Georgia to see you guys tomorrow.

01:33:23.000 You're a hero to me, Tim.

01:33:25.000 I really appreciate it.

01:33:26.000 I think the current plan is that we're going to be at Redneck Riviera, downtown Nashville from 1.30 to 2.30.

01:33:32.000 I think we'll all be there.

01:33:35.000 Short stop, yeah.

01:33:36.000 Short stop.

01:33:37.000 Yeah, so I think a good hour is enough to get a handful of songs in for everybody.

01:33:40.000 I might play two.

01:33:41.000 We'll see what happens.

01:33:43.000 And then we got a hard stop to get out of there by 2.30.

01:33:46.000 We got to be in the car and be on the road because I got to make it back to West Virginia to get back to work.

01:33:52.000 All right, Colin, your buddy, says we're writing stories for the chickens in Chicken City.

01:33:56.000 Roberto is the mayor of Chicken City after being a Weathervane model and having an affair with Margaret Hatcher, mayor of 2024.

01:34:03.000 And Roberto Jr.

01:34:05.000 is his illegitimate son who's come to usurp his role.

01:34:08.000 Scandal.

01:34:09.000 Yup.

01:34:09.000 You're not my father.

01:34:11.000 In reality, though, you know, Roberto Jr.

01:34:14.000 is starting to impose himself on Roberto's ladies. 0.90

01:34:19.000 And Roberto's not having it.

01:34:21.000 The craziest thing is that, you guys, chickens do not have the same genetics as us.

01:34:26.000 So they inbreed.

01:34:27.000 They do.

01:34:28.000 It's called line breeding.

01:34:29.000 You're not supposed to do it too much, but it happens.

01:34:31.000 And they don't care.

01:34:32.000 They do not have familial relationships.

01:34:34.000 So like, Roberto sees his daughter, and Roberto Jr.

01:34:37.000 sees his mom, and they're just like, don't care.

01:34:40.000 That's how it goes.

01:34:41.000 Dinosaurs do that too, I guess, then?

01:34:43.000 Yeah.

01:34:43.000 Chickens are dinosaurs.

01:34:45.000 I've always wondered how dinosaurs actually do it.

01:34:47.000 Those huge tails.

01:34:50.000 How do they mount one another?

01:34:52.000 It's just weird.

01:34:53.000 Very aggressively, I would imagine.

01:34:54.000 I don't spend a lot of time trying to figure that out.

01:34:58.000 Clef the Misfit says, Hey Tim, you said you're a Twitter shareholder too.

01:35:01.000 Why don't you reach out to other shareholders and launch a class action lawsuit since Twitter violated their fiduciary duty?

01:35:06.000 I have 22 shares and I bought them after Elon Musk bought because I was like, this is a good investment.

01:35:11.000 I mean, Elon Musk will be a great leader for the company.

01:35:13.000 That's fantastic.

01:35:13.000 So after I heard, I was like, all right, I'll go on Twitter and see what's up.

01:35:15.000 And I bought some, but, um, I may have had one before and I think I just bought them.

01:35:20.000 Now it's like if Elon pulls out of Twitter because of this shady dealing, I'm gonna end up losing a bunch of money.

01:35:26.000 I'll be kind of pissed.

01:35:27.000 But I'm not doing this for any kind of lawsuit or anything.

01:35:31.000 I have a brokerage account or whatever with like a thousand bucks in it.

01:35:34.000 And I was like, oh yeah, Twitter, I guess.

01:35:35.000 Why not?

01:35:35.000 I wasn't really thinking.

01:35:36.000 I don't want to be involved in any of that stuff.

01:35:38.000 If I was like a legitimate big investor, then definitely.

01:35:40.000 Because I think they're screwing over the shareholders.

01:35:43.000 No doubt. 1.00

01:35:43.000 Because they're nuts. 1.00

01:35:45.000 Maybe everybody should buy in. 0.95

01:35:48.000 Alright, Daniel K says, Your honest coverage of Florida has been much appreciated.

01:35:52.000 Tampa, a Democrat stronghold in Florida, has a green beret running for Congress, Jay Collins.

01:35:57.000 It's a long shot flipping Tampa red, but I feel like Collins has a real chance at it.

01:36:01.000 It would be great to see him on your show.

01:36:03.000 We will take a look.

01:36:06.000 Alright, let's grab some Super Chats as the raced cars keep going.

01:36:11.000 Double A says, Fem Shapiro doesn't look the same without her leg up on the chair. 1.00

01:36:15.000 Sorry guys.

01:36:16.000 Sorry.

01:36:17.000 That's how I sit too, that's awesome.

01:36:19.000 It's uncomfortable, yeah.

01:36:21.000 It's the knee.

01:36:22.000 I love it.

01:36:23.000 Oh wow, what's this?

01:36:23.000 Brad Pits Junk says, Congrats to Styx on the birth of his daughter earlier this week.

01:36:30.000 Hope you guys can have him on next time he's stateside.

01:36:32.000 Wow, yes, congratulations.

01:36:34.000 Styx is fantastic.

01:36:35.000 He's a good dude.

01:36:37.000 Always been a big fan of Six Hexenhammer.

01:36:40.000 Steven White says, Tim and crew, the trending movies on Netflix are war movies.

01:36:44.000 Saving Private Ryan, the imaginary game.

01:36:46.000 It's almost like they're trying to push World War III.

01:36:49.000 What did I get recommended?

01:36:51.000 I've been watching DC's Legends of Tomorrow.

01:36:54.000 And then season six, I just stopped watching it.

01:36:56.000 That show just like, man, they jumped the shark.

01:36:59.000 Oh.

01:37:00.000 Yeah.

01:37:00.000 It was fun.

01:37:00.000 It's like a DC superhero show.

01:37:02.000 But now it's like, turns out one guy's an alien and now there's a bunch of aliens.

01:37:06.000 And I'm just like, I don't know what you guys are talking about. 1.00

01:37:08.000 It's just stupid. 1.00

01:37:09.000 Yeah, it's just dumb. 1.00

01:37:12.000 Uncle Ulysses says, Ian, you're the man. 0.98

01:37:15.000 Keep being you.

01:37:16.000 Wanted to shout out a local podcast about the supernatural and conspiratorial.

01:37:20.000 Coin Doc Pro, conspiracy indoctrination program.

01:37:24.000 Give it a shot.

01:37:25.000 Oh, is it, is it Cohen?

01:37:27.000 Coin?

01:37:27.000 Give it a shot.

01:37:28.000 See if you like it.

01:37:28.000 Cool.

01:37:29.000 Thanks, man.

01:37:31.000 All right, let's grab some more.

01:37:33.000 Kingfopanda says, found Brett on TikTok.

01:37:38.000 This is my first ever super chat.

01:37:39.000 I've been subbed for so long.

01:37:41.000 It told me I couldn't chat because I subbed while watching child content.

01:37:44.000 Whoa, yeah.

01:37:45.000 Had to unsubscribe to chat, spin the UFO.

01:37:50.000 Oh, so if you have under 13 content up in one window, YouTube won't let you subscribe to over 18 shows?

01:37:57.000 Weird.

01:37:58.000 I think we're gonna have to make sure Chicken City is for adult only.

01:38:01.000 Because we have short chicken gags that we're making, and we were here with Seamus.

01:38:09.000 And so we recorded one that's really funny and it's basically it's not meant for it's like it's like maybe like six to nine years old is probably the where it would be be if it was like a kid's show but it's the kind of jokes where you know an adult would like it too but then we as we were like ad-libbing we did one really dark one Where it was, you know, Roberto, he's got a daughter, you know, chickens don't really have, you know, they don't care.

01:38:36.000 And so it's about line breeding, which is when fathers and daughters and sons and mothers breed.

01:38:42.000 And I put it up on Instagram, but for some reason it wouldn't, it was shadow banned.

01:38:46.000 Like nobody could see it.

01:38:47.000 And I was like, well, it is a particularly dark, like Roberto was drunk and he was like, where are you?

01:38:51.000 And I'm like, we don't show anything.

01:38:53.000 It was just like line breeding.

01:38:54.000 And it's like a card pops up and explains how this happens.

01:38:57.000 They wouldn't allow it.

01:38:58.000 And so I'm like, maybe it shouldn't be the darkest of humor at all and maybe we should just stick to the gag humor.

01:39:05.000 The gag humor joke we have is just Roberto screaming and running around flipping out like kids would like.

01:39:09.000 It was like Adult Swim 2007.

01:39:10.000 Yeah.

01:39:11.000 Absolutely incredible.

01:39:12.000 Yeah.

01:39:12.000 Yeah, I thought it was good.

01:39:13.000 Also, the first few, like... Like, no words.

01:39:16.000 He's drunk.

01:39:18.000 Drunk mumbling from a chicken.

01:39:22.000 And he's drinking mealworm IPA.

01:39:24.000 Yeah, Kent, our animator, Kent Welling, made that.

01:39:28.000 I put it up on Instagram, but they wouldn't let me. 0.82

01:39:30.000 And I was like, maybe it's because we say bitch in it. 0.98

01:39:32.000 So I'll censor that. 0.97

01:39:34.000 So now he says, you...

01:39:36.000 You know, so I don't know, but maybe I'm like, maybe I, maybe we should just stick to the stuff that's like more family friendly.

01:39:41.000 The one that we, it was funny because I was talking to Kent and I was like, Hey, here's the, the, the sound that like the voiceover stuff we recorded.

01:39:48.000 Don't make that one.

01:39:49.000 Like, I think we are just, you know, being vulgar.

01:39:52.000 And I'm like, make the one where it's just like the kids show where they're like counting how many eggs they have.

01:39:56.000 And then Roberto screams and runs around going nuts.

01:39:59.000 And I'm like, it's just silly kid stuff. 0.94

01:40:00.000 And he's like, you got it.

01:40:02.000 And then he messages me, sends the clip, and he says, it has been made.

01:40:05.000 And I'm like, this one looks a little shorter than it should be, and I played it, and I was just laughing.

01:40:10.000 There's gotta be a network to run that on.

01:40:12.000 Instagram wouldn't let it go, I don't know.

01:40:14.000 Just fun chicken facts.

01:40:16.000 Maybe Fox.

01:40:16.000 Rumble.

01:40:17.000 I think it's too hot for Fox.

01:40:18.000 Rumble.

01:40:19.000 It pays for it to run as an advertisement.

01:40:20.000 That's the one.

01:40:23.000 That's it.

01:40:24.000 After 10pm only.

01:40:24.000 It's really good.

01:40:26.000 Alright, let's uh...

01:40:29.000 Adrian Contreras says, I'm not going to smash the like button, Tim, but I will tickle it ever so gently.

01:40:35.000 I'm still pushing for Glenn Jacobs on the show too.

01:40:38.000 Can we make that happen?

01:40:38.000 We'll take a look.

01:40:40.000 C Santos says, my fiance is Gen Z and she can't stand the content that Brett makes. 0.98

01:40:46.000 She thinks it's over critical and bullying.

01:40:49.000 I've been trying to get her to understand the culture war that's happening, but no luck so far.

01:40:53.000 I think that's the thing about the challenge of the culture war is that If someone walks up to you and slaps you in the face, and then you are like, guys, I'm really angry.

01:41:04.000 This guy's been slapping me in the face.

01:41:06.000 Let me explain to you.

01:41:07.000 People are going to be like, why are you being so mean to that guy?

01:41:09.000 I don't even know who that guy is.

01:41:10.000 They'll assume that your criticism of legitimate things is mean or wrong.

01:41:15.000 And it's like, bro, I'm not the person who's throwing paint in someone's face.

01:41:19.000 They're the ones throwing paint at us. 0.84

01:41:21.000 It's funny to hear that, though, because I do get criticism for being too

01:41:25.000 empathetic to people, though, for people on the right who are like, I did an

01:41:28.000 episode about Emma Watson and I, you know, or there was something I was doing

01:41:32.000 with Demi Lovato, who was like, I still really like her music.

01:41:34.000 Like, I think she's fantastic.

01:41:35.000 Like that kind of thing.

01:41:35.000 People are like, how dare you say nice things about her?

01:41:38.000 And it's like, we're still human beings. 0.73

01:41:40.000 You can still criticize people and the ridiculous things that they do and find

01:41:44.000 humor in it and still, like, I wouldn't say, I wouldn't say bully. 0.92

01:41:47.000 I've been watching your stuff.

01:41:48.000 And like, I mean, honestly, like it's you definitely have your style, but I think

01:41:54.000 it's from from certain perspectives, like you have people saying that you're being

01:41:58.000 too empathetic and other people saying you're bullying.

01:42:00.000 It's well, if you're on the Internet, you can't please everybody.

01:42:02.000 So I'm kind of like, OK.

01:42:04.000 With comments, this is like, Joe Rogan would tell people, don't read the comments, but you actually have a show called The Comment Section, and I love reading the comments, just don't take it personally, any of it, the good stuff or the bad stuff.

01:42:15.000 It's hard not to take the good stuff personally, when they're like, you're so awesome, I love when you did this thing, and you're like, yeah, me too, but don't take it personally, because then you start to take the negative stuff personally.

01:42:24.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:42:25.000 Here's Terry.

01:42:26.000 Teramoto Junior says, Brett Cooper, thanks for selling me on homeschooling on your Instagram for when I have kids.

01:42:31.000 Already hated public schools before it was cool to hate, uh, cool to hate them.

01:42:35.000 So it wasn't difficult, but your stuff on homeschooling is what made, what made me decide that was the solution.

01:42:40.000 Amazing.

01:42:41.000 That actually makes me very happy.

01:42:43.000 That's awesome.

01:42:43.000 Homeschooling.

01:42:44.000 I love it.

01:42:44.000 For the win.

01:42:45.000 Legit.

01:42:45.000 Love it.

01:42:45.000 So good.

01:42:47.000 Wouldn't have changed a thing.

01:42:49.000 Daniella Sanchez says, Hey guys, I want to audition for the Daily Wire's upcoming productions as an actor.

01:42:55.000 How can we, how can one find out how to audition?

01:42:58.000 If I have to relocate to Nashville, I will do it.

01:43:00.000 Have an awesome day guys.

01:43:02.000 Well, uh, Brett, you run casting for Daily Wire, right?

01:43:05.000 Oh yeah, that's my, that's my other job.

01:43:07.000 I actually have, I get a lot of people, we have a lot of people that DM me asking for jobs are like, how do you find, you know, careers and that kind of thing.

01:43:13.000 I actually have no idea how the casting process goes for the films, but I will say.

01:43:16.000 If you're trying to work at DailyWire, you can go to our career page.

01:43:19.000 It's not too difficult to find.

01:43:21.000 It is funny when I have people being like, where do I find it?

01:43:24.000 I was like, you can type in DailyWire careers.

01:43:25.000 If you really are motivated to come work for us, I promise you, you will find a way.

01:43:30.000 Ken Pittsburgh says, we are already in the metaverse.

01:43:33.000 When we die, the carny will take off your VR glasses, you'll ask how long you were in there, and he'll point to a sign that says $5 for 5 minutes.

01:43:41.000 Chicken city! 0.80

01:43:42.000 Yeah!

01:43:43.000 Yeah, it's like Rick and Morty, when they go to Blitz and Chits.

01:43:47.000 Have you guys seen that one?

01:43:48.000 Have you seen it?

01:43:50.000 He's like, let's go play Roy.

01:43:51.000 And you sit down, and you put this headset on, and then you just like, you go limp.

01:43:55.000 And then you live an entire life as some guy named Roy.

01:43:58.000 And they're like, they're watching Morty play.

01:44:01.000 And then after he comes out, he's like, where am I?

01:44:03.000 I'm Morty.

01:44:04.000 And Rick is like, you went back to the carpet store?

01:44:07.000 Jeez, let me play.

01:44:08.000 And then everyone's watching him, and they're like, whoa!

01:44:10.000 He's taking this guy off the grid!

01:44:12.000 He doesn't have a social security number!

01:44:13.000 Yeah, that was funny.

01:44:15.000 He's taking him off the grid.

01:44:16.000 Roy.

01:44:16.000 I mean, if Elon Musk doesn't get in, it's doomed anyway.

01:44:19.000 If Elon Musk gets the company, he'll fix it.

01:44:21.000 JK says, the other day I tweeted at Elon Musk to buy all of Twitter and then immediately

01:44:25.000 shut it down.

01:44:26.000 I have not heard back from him yet, but I'll keep you all posted.

01:44:29.000 I mean, if Elon Musk doesn't get in, it's doomed anyway.

01:44:33.000 If Elon Musk gets the company, he'll fix it.

01:44:36.000 So you know.

01:44:38.000 3D Pyromaniac says, Brett should go on Mug Club and play newest gender pronouns now.

01:44:44.000 What is that?

01:44:45.000 Is that Crowder?

01:44:46.000 Love it.

01:44:46.000 Yeah, it's Crowder.

01:44:47.000 I'll be at Blaze next week.

01:44:48.000 Cool.

01:44:49.000 Yeah, awesome.

01:44:51.000 That's in Austin, right?

01:44:53.000 Uh, Dallas.

01:44:53.000 Dallas.

01:44:54.000 I was there.

01:44:54.000 Yeah.

01:44:55.000 I don't know.

01:44:55.000 How did I forget?

01:44:55.000 How did I get that wrong?

01:44:57.000 All right.

01:44:58.000 Enslave said, Tim, it would be awesome if you checked out music.

01:45:01.000 My new album is called Defund the Politicians.

01:45:03.000 Search enslaved ones on here or any streaming service. 0.96

01:45:07.000 Hey man, always interested in people making culture and succeeding with it.

01:45:10.000 So.

01:45:12.000 Zoidberg says, I constantly promote free the code, but that's no guarantee that the open source code is the same code that's running on the live system.

01:45:19.000 Interesting.

01:45:20.000 Yeah.

01:45:23.000 ShinobiStrongside, Ian, I have- I have- I have that time dilations almost every night.

01:45:29.000 It was so bad, I had to go on disability.

01:45:32.000 Living whole lives in one night.

01:45:34.000 Eventually I learned how to manage it.

01:45:35.000 Time is definitely illusion.

01:45:36.000 Oh, interesting.

01:45:37.000 Yeah, I'd love to find out how you managed it too.

01:45:39.000 That was very cool.

01:45:40.000 I wonder if that's like a, uh, something that a lot of people have experienced.

01:45:46.000 Like if it's actually got a name.

01:45:47.000 Cause that's, that'd be a wild disorder to have.

01:45:51.000 Like each night living a full life.

01:45:54.000 Jeez.

01:45:54.000 That'd be pretty wild.

01:45:55.000 Check this out.

01:45:56.000 Dragon Lady says, deep space, nine episode, hard time.

01:45:59.000 O'Brien lives a 20 year prison sentence that's implanted in his brain in a few hours.

01:46:03.000 Causes a bunch of psychological problems afterward.

01:46:06.000 Great episode.

01:46:07.000 Crazy.

01:46:08.000 Very cool.

01:46:09.000 Yeah, what if all this is right now, our lives are actually a metaverse?

01:46:15.000 We're all three years old, and the point is to give you a full life of experience and wisdom, so you come out, you're three, and you're like, whoa.

01:46:22.000 And they're like, we wanted to make sure that before you started, you knew what you were doing, so.

01:46:27.000 I will eat less sugar as a teenager.

01:46:29.000 See?

01:46:30.000 See?

01:46:32.000 You're gonna come out, you're gonna be three, and you're gonna be like, I'm alive!

01:46:36.000 What am I?

01:46:37.000 And they're going to be like, what did you learn?

01:46:39.000 Like, what?

01:46:39.000 What did you learn?

01:46:41.000 I'm not going to eat sugar when I'm a teenager.

01:46:43.000 You pass.

01:46:43.000 Keep going.

01:46:44.000 That's great.

01:46:45.000 Someone else is like, I want donuts.

01:46:48.000 Back in.

01:46:48.000 No, no, no.

01:46:51.000 That's a good turn.

01:46:53.000 You can eat sugar.

01:46:54.000 No redemption.

01:46:56.000 I was like, put them back in.

01:46:57.000 You got to go around again.

01:46:58.000 Yeah.

01:47:01.000 All right.

01:47:03.000 King Deem says, or King to me, says, Tim, we already have the Metaverse for years.

01:47:08.000 It's called VRChat.

01:47:09.000 The videos about journalists living in the Metaverse for days are not original at all.

01:47:13.000 There's literally dozens of videos of the same kind.

01:47:15.000 What Facebook did is not relevant.

01:47:16.000 No, I understand.

01:47:17.000 So when we talk about Metaverse, it's typically, you know, in reference to the coming brain implants where they stick the metal into your neck and then you actually are in the Metaverse.

01:47:27.000 Through a neural net.

01:47:29.000 Yeah.

01:47:30.000 See, I think... I feel like most guys would say yes instantly.

01:47:34.000 I wanna fight a dragon, bro.

01:47:36.000 I've been seeing videos of people going into the Metaverse.

01:47:38.000 They'll be like, I was in the Metaverse for 30 days, and there's like a YouTube video about it.

01:47:42.000 And one guy was saying that a lot of people in the Metaverse just look into mirrors and stare at themselves.

01:47:47.000 You'll see groups of people just staring at themselves in a mirror.

01:47:50.000 In the Metaverse, like at their character.

01:47:52.000 Did you ever see that thing where they put VR headsets on people?

01:47:56.000 A man and a woman.

01:47:57.000 They stood in front of each other, but their VR headsets were each other's camera, so the man, they would like, both of you look down slowly, and then they would be like, now feel your body, and they would feel their body the same way, but the dude was seeing the woman's body, and the woman was seeing the dude's body, so it's like, when you touch your hands, you feel like you're in the other person's body.

01:48:21.000 Oh, it's so weird.

01:48:22.000 Yeah.

01:48:23.000 Yikes.

01:48:23.000 Creepy.

01:48:24.000 Yeah.

01:48:25.000 And then they have like, touch your leg.

01:48:26.000 And so you feel like, because you're seeing in the in the lenses, the other body.

01:48:31.000 That's mirror neurons going, you know, that that's, that's what allows when when you see somebody crying or somebody fall and scrape their knee or something like that, your mirror neurons empathize to the point where you can feel it.

01:48:41.000 That's crazy.

01:48:43.000 Yeah.

01:48:44.000 I think the illness can get like that sometimes too.

01:48:47.000 In skateboarding, whenever you watch slam videos, you can feel the slam.

01:48:53.000 It's crazy.

01:48:54.000 I'll watch someone hit the ground and I feel the jolt in my body.

01:48:57.000 I'm like, oh man.

01:48:59.000 Don't like that.

01:49:00.000 Crazy, right?

01:49:01.000 Yeah. 0.78

01:49:02.000 They say that if you don't experience that, sociopaths don't experience that phenomenon.

01:49:07.000 So it's how they test for it.

01:49:10.000 They'll show a video of someone getting hurt in some way, and if you don't have a response, they think something's there.

01:49:16.000 Yeah, yeah, that's why I can't stand how just I'm like I turn on Instagram and too many videos are slams I'm like dude if I see a slam coming I just I'm getting out because I'm gonna you don't you don't feel it, but you feel it You know I mean you get that feeling All right Let's grab some more super chats.

01:49:34.000 What do we got?

01:49:35.000 Dstuff says, have you guys heard of Vince Dow and the American Populist Union?

01:49:40.000 He's someone I've been a fan of for a little while.

01:49:41.000 You should have him on the show.

01:49:42.000 Keep up the good work.

01:49:43.000 I do not know who that is.

01:49:44.000 I'm gonna write that down.

01:49:45.000 I know him from Prairie View.

01:49:45.000 He's a good guy.

01:49:46.000 He's a really sweet kid.

01:49:48.000 He's a little younger than me.

01:49:48.000 Black kid, I guess.

01:49:51.000 PartyHardJay says, Twitter moderation has gotten so bad that I got suspended today for asking you if Redneck Riviera would be open to the public tomorrow. 0.64

01:49:59.000 It was labeled hateful conduct and my appeal was denied.

01:50:02.000 Email you guys screenshots.

01:50:08.000 Here's the plan.

01:50:09.000 Redneck Riviera exists.

01:50:11.000 It is John Rich's venue.

01:50:12.000 We have no formal plan with the venue other than John Rich owns it.

01:50:15.000 And he said, let's go jam.

01:50:16.000 And I said, okay.

01:50:18.000 So if it's open, it's open.

01:50:19.000 If it's not, I have no idea what's going on.

01:50:21.000 But 1.30, that's the plan.

01:50:22.000 1.30 PM.

01:50:23.000 Yup.

01:50:24.000 Yeah, Ian's gonna headline.

01:50:25.000 It's all, we're gonna put banners up for him.

01:50:28.000 He'll play some songs, I guess.

01:50:29.000 You're gonna be there, Ben?

01:50:30.000 I'll play something.

01:50:31.000 Carter will be there.

01:50:31.000 Yeah.

01:50:32.000 He's, you know, from TimCast.

01:50:34.000 So, I think everyone will be able to get in as much as they want to play.

01:50:38.000 I'll probably only play a couple songs.

01:50:40.000 I might even have to leave early, just because we gotta get on the road.

01:50:43.000 But, actually, no, probably not.

01:50:44.000 You going?

01:50:45.000 Oh, maybe I'll come.

01:50:46.000 I'll do a jig.

01:50:46.000 Oh, wow.

01:50:47.000 Do you play music?

01:50:49.000 No, I sing, but I don't play any instruments.

01:50:51.000 At the very least, if you do come, I think, I'm like, John, this place is going to be so packed.

01:50:55.000 Because people are going to drive up.

01:50:56.000 People are going to head out.

01:50:57.000 I mean, it's not, it's downtown Nashville.

01:50:59.000 Yeah.

01:50:59.000 Which is already on a Saturday.

01:51:01.000 But, but John Rich is announcing on the show he is going to be there.

01:51:06.000 So like, yo, John Richard, big and rich.

01:51:08.000 Yeah.

01:51:09.000 I'm like, I'm like, don't look at me.

01:51:12.000 I'm like, you're telling people you're doing a show.

01:51:14.000 People are going to show up.

01:51:15.000 It's going to be crazy.

01:51:15.000 And he's like, yeah, yeah, of course.

01:51:17.000 It's always packed.

01:51:17.000 And I'm like, all right, man, I think we're in need.

01:51:19.000 Like the car pulled around back.

01:51:21.000 Cause we got it.

01:51:21.000 We got a hard stop.

01:51:22.000 We got to get on the road.

01:51:24.000 We've got missions to accomplish.

01:51:28.000 All right, Ben says, great video this morning, Tim.

01:51:30.000 Quote, I wake up every day and lay a brick.

01:51:32.000 Great message, bad wording.

01:51:34.000 Very bad.

01:51:34.000 Yeah, wow.

01:51:35.000 No, prickling.

01:51:36.000 I'm totally fine with it.

01:51:37.000 In fact, if it made people laugh, all the better.

01:51:39.000 It's memorable.

01:51:39.000 Every day I wake up, I lay a brick.

01:51:42.000 What is that?

01:51:42.000 Like pooping?

01:51:43.000 I poop a brick?

01:51:44.000 That's also good for you.

01:51:44.000 Works for me.

01:51:45.000 My body is a machine and it cranks out large rectangular bricks.

01:51:50.000 And then I take and I go, this is mine.

01:51:52.000 And I slam it onto the building that I'm making and every day shithouse.

01:51:57.000 Okay.

01:51:58.000 Every day you add a brick.

01:52:01.000 Every day you add a brick.

01:52:03.000 What that means is, you know, where we are now with this crazy fifth wheel trailer in

01:52:10.000 the Daily Wire parking lot doing shows with, you know, these guests.

01:52:14.000 It's not like one day I woke up and I wrote down, here's how you do all this thing.

01:52:17.000 It was like every day I was just like, I will place this brick right here on this building.

01:52:20.000 And one day you look, you take a step back 20 feet and you're like, this thing's huge.

01:52:25.000 Just happens one, one step at a time.

01:52:27.000 Christina H says, Miss Cooper, I love your show.

01:52:29.000 Happy Friday, cast.

01:52:30.000 Have fun tomorrow.

01:52:31.000 We will.

01:52:32.000 We're going to be driving a lot.

01:52:33.000 Oh yeah.

01:52:34.000 Good times.

01:52:35.000 JDCGaming says there are only 31 possible plots that have ever been created for movies.

01:52:40.000 And I kind of feel like that's true.

01:52:41.000 Yeah.

01:52:42.000 Is there a villain's journey?

01:52:44.000 Yeah.

01:52:45.000 Is there?

01:52:45.000 There is, yeah.

01:52:46.000 Well, there's the hero's journey, which is the famous, you know, story...

01:52:51.000 map architecture.

01:52:52.000 I wonder if it's a villain's journey.

01:52:53.000 I think the whole Megamind thing.

01:52:54.000 Maybe I don't want to be the bad guy anymore.

01:52:56.000 No, that's a hero's journey.

01:52:57.000 You think so?

01:52:57.000 Well, because he's a villain turning into a hero.

01:53:00.000 Yeah, it's just he's still a hero.

01:53:02.000 The Watchmen, the cartoon that's played throughout the movie, the guy on the pirate ship.

01:53:06.000 Do you remember this cartoon?

01:53:07.000 It's incredible.

01:53:09.000 I'll tell the story, I guess.

01:53:11.000 He's trying to get back home.

01:53:12.000 His ship is raided by pirates and everyone is killed except for him.

01:53:16.000 And he's on a lifeboat trying to get back to his wife and family.

01:53:18.000 But he knows that these pirates are going to kill them.

01:53:20.000 So he spends just weeks paddling to get there as his crew is rotting, starts to rot, and then he starts to hallucinate and they come alive and they're like, you did this to me and he's losing his mind.

01:53:29.000 He finally gets back and he's this wild animal looking to kill these pirates and the town is crazy and in the shadows he sees one of them and he kills him and it turns out the pirate he killed was actually his wife.

01:53:39.000 Oh my. 0.94

01:53:40.000 He became the demon that he sought to destroy.

01:53:43.000 I like Mr. Freeze better.

01:53:46.000 You know Mr. Freeze's story?

01:53:47.000 You're young, so I can tell you.

01:53:51.000 You know, most comic book villains were like, I'm going to take over the world!

01:53:54.000 But Mr. Freeze, in the Batman animated series, his wife was terminally ill.

01:53:58.000 So he was siphoning funds from the corporation he worked at to work on research to save her life while keeping her frozen so that she wouldn't die.

01:54:06.000 And when the boss finds out, he comes in and he's like, this is what you've been doing with my money.

01:54:10.000 Shut it down.

01:54:10.000 He's like, no, you'll kill Nora.

01:54:12.000 And then he gets hit with all these chemicals, becomes Mr. Freeze, and then he becomes a villain.

01:54:17.000 His motivation is he's trying to save his wife.

01:54:19.000 So mania, it's obsessive love.

01:54:21.000 It's a type of love that can twist people.

01:54:23.000 Thaleo?

01:54:23.000 I think it's just love. It's like a guy who is willing to do whatever he has to to save his wife at the expense of

01:54:29.000 others.

01:54:29.000 The Greeks have derived eight types of love. One of them is mania, and that means obsessive love.

01:54:34.000 There's like eros, which is erotic love. There's pragma, which is like pragmatic love.

01:54:38.000 Paleo, brotherly love.

01:54:40.000 Nah, nah, nah. It's...

01:54:43.000 Mr. Freeze, it was just romantic love.

01:54:48.000 Romantic love.

01:54:49.000 And the reason he's a good villain, it's because it's love and loyalty, but selfishness.

01:54:55.000 That he didn't care who he hurt.

01:54:58.000 He was creating the same problem.

01:54:59.000 The people he hurt when he was trying to save his wife are experiencing the same pain that he's experiencing, but he doesn't care.

01:55:04.000 So it's narcissism and romantic love.

01:55:06.000 But it was brilliant.

01:55:08.000 I think they won an Emmy for it.

01:55:10.000 Love it.

01:55:11.000 Alright.

01:55:13.000 Let's grab a couple more Super Chats as we go through.

01:55:15.000 We got time for a couple more.

01:55:18.000 John Smith says, haven't used Reddit since they banned the Donald.

01:55:21.000 It was basically them outright admitting they were absolutely partisan.

01:55:24.000 It's no longer a place to share content.

01:55:26.000 It's a place to spread propaganda.

01:55:28.000 Yeah, I go on Reddit all the time.

01:55:30.000 And when I see these people be like, social media isn't biased.

01:55:33.000 What they're just trying to do is shut up.

01:55:35.000 You go on Reddit and it's like, there, there was two subreddits hit the top of all from me saying, I don't, I went to a diner and I didn't want to wait because they sat someone in front of me and it was like the right can't meme posted it.

01:55:47.000 And I'm like, What does me telling a story about not waiting at a diner, which was me intentionally telling a story about me being disagreeable and kind of annoying sometimes, have to do with right-wing politics at all?

01:56:00.000 But that's what you get when you go on Reddit.

01:56:02.000 Rarely do you see anything that is against the establishment.

01:56:08.000 Sometimes you'll see r slash conservative make it up there.

01:56:11.000 But right now, it's like, Elon Musk wants to buy Twitter.

01:56:14.000 Every comment is, oh, this is bad and wrong. 0.82

01:56:16.000 Every story is, Elon is a goblin.

01:56:19.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:56:20.000 Elon's great.

01:56:21.000 We love what he's doing.

01:56:23.000 All right.

01:56:23.000 We got room for a couple more.

01:56:25.000 Maddox says, hi, I sent an email to spin the UFO.

01:56:27.000 Please check it out.

01:56:28.000 Also, how can I pitch my tech company idea to take over big tech to the Daily Wire?

01:56:33.000 Is there an email?

01:56:35.000 I don't know if Brett has the answers to those questions.

01:56:37.000 Oh yeah, you know me and all my powerful knowledge as the casting director.

01:56:42.000 Yes, right.

01:56:42.000 That's true.

01:56:45.000 Alright.

01:56:47.000 TXP says, my 17-year-old daughter just told me she wished technology would go away.

01:56:50.000 I told her about EMP.

01:56:52.000 Well, there you go.

01:56:53.000 Perfect.

01:56:54.000 Right on.

01:56:55.000 Alright, Zombielord says the villain's story is the Greek story of, uh, Fizith, uh, Fizith, Fizithis?

01:57:04.000 Fizithis.

01:57:05.000 Fizithis?

01:57:05.000 Interesting.

01:57:06.000 Where, or is it, uh, Fiziahsithis?

01:57:09.000 Whatever.

01:57:10.000 Where the main, where the main is forced to roll a boulder up a hill for it to fall to the bottom in a cycle.

01:57:15.000 I think it's Sisyphus, isn't it?

01:57:17.000 Oh, yeah, Sisyphus.

01:57:18.000 Oh, yeah, but they, but, you know, what they wrote is Physicist.

01:57:22.000 Yeah, Sisyphus.
