Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Twitter IS DEAD, High profile Accounts LOCKED EN MASSE As Platform Dies w-Malcolm Flex

00:00:00.000 And I'll see you next time.

00:00:21.000 Engagement is way down.

00:00:23.000 And I noticed this earlier.

00:00:25.000 People have been talking about it for several weeks, and people have been talking about how if you lock your profile on Twitter, you'll get more engagement.

00:00:33.000 That doesn't seem to make sense to me.

00:00:34.000 Something's wrong with the machine.

00:00:36.000 And we had this story, this Twitter thread from Dave Rubin last week where he talked about the Fractal Rube Goldberg machine that was Twitter.

00:00:44.000 And that there were actually secret codes, new codes, that were censoring conservatives that were censoring people like Dave Rubin.

00:00:51.000 So the reason why I say it's dead is because two things happened.

00:00:54.000 Engagement disappeared.

00:00:56.000 Something happened in the algorithm a couple weeks ago where all of a sudden people stopped getting comments, replies, they stopped getting retweets, stopped getting quote tweets, they stopped getting likes.

00:01:04.000 And everybody said, yo, what's going on?

00:01:05.000 It feels like Twitter is dying.

00:01:07.000 People aren't engaging anymore.

00:01:09.000 Maybe everybody just hates Twitter now.

00:01:11.000 I doubt it.

00:01:11.000 Something changed in the system.

00:01:13.000 Today, everyone started locking their accounts en masse.

00:01:17.000 And there's just, I don't know, I unfollowed maybe like two dozen people.

00:01:21.000 And I didn't unfollow them because I'm mad at them.

00:01:23.000 They locked their accounts.

00:01:24.000 I can see their tweets, but I can't engage.

00:01:27.000 I can't share the tweet.

00:01:29.000 I can't let other people know, like, hey, this thing is happening.

00:01:32.000 All of the quote tweets I already had from these people, gone.

00:01:36.000 Quote tweets from people I didn't follow before?

00:01:38.000 Gone.

00:01:39.000 Locking their accounts.

00:01:41.000 I'm sorry.

00:01:42.000 Whatever is going on, the platform is in a dire situation right now.

00:01:47.000 So let me just add, it's a slow news day, did you notice?

00:01:50.000 But we'll talk about this because we do have that Twitter thread from Dave Rubin we didn't get into on the show.

00:01:55.000 Last week.

00:01:56.000 And then I'll just show you the general reaction from a lot of people as to what's going on and what it means.

00:02:00.000 If people aren't getting engagement on the platform, they're gonna stop using it.

00:02:03.000 So we'll see.

00:02:04.000 I mean, what are people gonna do?

00:02:05.000 Migrate to TikTok or something?

00:02:07.000 We do have a bunch of other stories.

00:02:08.000 I mean, there's creepy stuff about Joe Biden.

00:02:09.000 We can talk about that.

00:02:10.000 But we have some more interesting cultural stuff.

00:02:12.000 We got a personality for PragerU.

00:02:15.000 Went into YouTube, signed up, and said they were a young child, and what they were fed was a bunch of weird consent, queer consent videos, like, telling 9 through 12 year olds about how they can consent, if you know, like, yeah, no, like, so, that's just kind of weird. 0.64

00:02:31.000 So we'll talk about that, plus, we have, uh, we gotta talk about this MSNBC thing.

00:02:34.000 This MSNBC host, who says that she got a cold in December, And then felt pain in her heart.

00:02:42.000 Turned out she had pericarditis.

00:02:44.000 The doctor said it was from a... First said she had reflux.

00:02:47.000 It's been a month and a half, and she says she still has, now, myocarditis, or some kind of heart issue, and it's like, if it was from a cold, can the common cold cause myocarditis for a month and a half, like you still have this cold?

00:03:01.000 This is interesting because MSNBC dedicated a full segment to this and brought in a doctor to talk about it, and it's making people talk about these wild theories about what really happened.

00:03:09.000 So we'll get into that, but before we get started, my friends, head over to TimCast.com, become a member to support our work.

00:03:59.000 Glad to be here, guys.

00:04:01.000 Before we get started, first off, can we bow our heads?

00:04:04.000 We need to say a prayer for all of my brothers out there in relationships with Latinas.

00:04:08.000 Why's that?

00:04:10.000 Trust me.

00:04:11.000 You'll want to say the prayer.

00:04:12.000 All right.

00:04:15.000 Oh, man.

00:04:16.000 Okay.

00:04:17.000 There we go.

00:04:19.000 What is that about?

00:04:19.000 What's going on?

00:04:20.000 Spicy Latinas are a thing, man. 1.00

00:04:22.000 Like I said, again.

00:04:23.000 Okay!

00:04:24.000 I thought that was like something in the news or something happening.

00:04:26.000 Oh, no, no, no.

00:04:26.000 Okay.

00:04:27.000 So who are you, man?

00:04:28.000 What are you doing?

00:04:29.000 So, my name is Malcolm Flicks. 0.97

00:04:31.000 I am what you could call a high-capacity assault shitposter. 0.97

00:04:36.000 Oh, wow. 0.99

00:04:37.000 I know. 0.94

00:04:38.000 And now, I am a shitpost analyst. 0.92

00:04:40.000 But no, I'm just a normal bro, man. 0.90

00:04:42.000 I do fighting.

00:04:43.000 I do football, pretty much.

00:04:45.000 You know, politics, science.

00:04:48.000 You name it, fitness.

00:04:49.000 Yeah, the science stuff.

00:04:49.000 You were talking about, we were talking about pericarditis and myocarditis a moment ago, and you were talking about a bunch of stuff I didn't understand, but we can get in all that with the MSNBC story.

00:04:57.000 Yeah, you're not a doctor, but you have massive medical experience.

00:04:59.000 You work as a, what is the title of your role with the company?

00:05:03.000 Pretty much MSL, so Medical Science Liaison.

00:05:06.000 Yeah, that's fascinating.

00:05:07.000 You can carry that mic around, take it up and down so you don't have to lean over any time.

00:05:10.000 Sweet, yeah.

00:05:10.000 Yeah, man, it's cool.

00:05:11.000 We'll talk about it.

00:05:11.000 Thanks for hanging out.

00:05:12.000 We got Hannah-Claire Brimlow hanging out.

00:05:14.000 Hi, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimlow.

00:05:15.000 I'm a writer for TimCast.com.

00:05:17.000 I'm Ian Crossland.

00:05:18.000 Happy to be here.

00:05:19.000 What's up, everybody?

00:05:21.000 Nothing too much to report.

00:05:22.000 I did take Bucco to a local vet earlier, and things are moving swimmingly.

00:05:27.000 We're going to have his stem cell injections this week, so I'll keep you updated.

00:05:29.000 Posted a little picture of Bucco yesterday on my Twitter, and I would like to keep rolling from here.

00:05:34.000 If anything comes up, I'll mention it on the show.

00:05:36.000 Right on.

00:05:37.000 And I am at Surge.com, Unvaxxed, Unlocked on Twitter.

00:05:41.000 What a great slogan.

00:05:43.000 Unvaxxed, Unlocked.

00:05:44.000 Let's jump into this first story and here's why, there's two reasons why we decided we're going to open up this show leading with the Twitter being dead story.

00:05:53.000 The first and most important thing is that it's, It's a very slow news day, nothing's going on, and this is the most important thing we can talk about.

00:06:00.000 No, I'm just kidding.

00:06:01.000 It is a slow news day, there is some other stuff we can talk about, but I really thought it would be super boring to just be like, another development in the Hunter Biden story, and the Feds raided Biden's Penn, was it the Penn-Biden Center, whatever, and that happened in November, and no one knew it happened until now, so it's like, of course there's weird, corrupt stuff going on, but I'm just like, let's talk about something more interesting.

00:06:22.000 So I go on Twitter, And a bunch of people I follow, you can see this meme, ALX says, opening up Twitter right now, all the locked profiles.

00:06:29.000 Everyone started, not everyone, but a lot of people started locking their profiles.

00:06:32.000 High profile accounts started locking their profiles so that no one can retweet their content, no one can share their content, yo.

00:06:41.000 You combine that with the fact that already people were reporting for the past couple of weeks a weird algorithm change that resulted in zero engagement, And it feels like Twitter is just totally dead.

00:06:53.000 This feels like, and I'm sure these people will un-private their account at some point, but it feels like how, like, Canada's, like, offering assisted suicide to people.

00:07:01.000 Like, if you want to kill yourself, we'll make it easy for you.

00:07:04.000 If you want to block out your social media so we don't have to ban you, we'll make it, you know, maybe they can incentivize you to ban yourself.

00:07:11.000 So, like, people are self-selecting and they're, like, removing themselves from the gene pool.

00:07:14.000 So this is the crazy thing, right?

00:07:16.000 I retweeted Chris Martinson, Dr. Chris Martinson.

00:07:19.000 We've been on the show.

00:07:21.000 He was talking about the MSNBC host I brought up in the intro.

00:07:24.000 She gets a common cold, but that results in pericarditis and myocarditis.

00:07:29.000 I'm going through my tweets because I look at my own tweets.

00:07:32.000 It's kind of like bookmarking.

00:07:33.000 So when I retweet something I know, like here's the story I wanted to post.

00:07:36.000 And it says this tweet is unavailable because the account owner protects his tweets.

00:07:41.000 And I'm like, oh, but I know Chris Martens.

00:07:43.000 He's been on the show before.

00:07:44.000 Can't see his tweets anymore.

00:07:45.000 He went private.

00:07:46.000 People are basically banning themselves.

00:07:49.000 Anything I shared from these accounts, gone.

00:07:52.000 Anybody who follows me, can't see them.

00:07:54.000 It's like, come on, like, these people have, it is strange to me that they were convinced the only way to retain engagement was to actually shut their accounts down.

00:08:03.000 It's dead internet theory taken to like a whole new level, but you know, honestly.

00:08:08.000 Maybe, maybe, no joke.

00:08:10.000 What if what was really happening with Twitter was that Twitter was falsely boosting the numbers on tweets to make it seem like there was engagement to trick advertisers into spending money.

00:08:19.000 And now that Elon Musk is cleaning up the code, he accidentally removed whatever fake thing was there that generated fake comments or fake likes.

00:08:26.000 I'm not even playing.

00:08:27.000 It was the, I think the CEO of Reddit, Alexis, what's his name, Alexis Ohanian, is that his name?

00:08:33.000 I actually know him.

00:08:34.000 He's married to Serena Williams, right?

00:08:35.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:08:36.000 I know the guy.

00:08:36.000 He's a very nice guy.

00:08:37.000 And I'm pretty sure him and, what's the other guy's name, Huffman, talked about how in the early days of Reddit, they would pretend to be users so that people would think they were talking to people.

00:08:48.000 Because if you go on a social media platform and comment, no one responds, you're like, I'm bored, I leave.

00:08:53.000 So they would pretend to be different people and comment and create fake conversations.

00:08:57.000 And now they'll ban you for doing that on Reddit.

00:08:58.000 Oh, yeah.

00:09:00.000 No, I mean, unless you're the government or something.

00:09:02.000 I used to do it with Mines.

00:09:02.000 I'd go on there and I'd post a Mines thing and then I'd go on with my personal account and be like, this is really cool, upvote, upvote everyone when I was working as an admin.

00:09:09.000 All the big tech companies do it.

00:09:10.000 If they found out, they'd ban me instantly.

00:09:12.000 What if that's it?

00:09:14.000 And the reason why when you lock your account, you get engagement is because there's the locked engagement fluffer and there's the un-private engagement fluffer.

00:09:24.000 I gotta call them fluffers, you know what I mean? 1.00

00:09:26.000 Yeah.

00:09:27.000 You know, just make them big.

00:09:28.000 And I'm the only guy who got rid of the code on one of them.

00:09:30.000 Dude, it just, it makes me laugh because it's like so many people who, you know, have lauded other people for basically like following trends and, you know, just like chasing the like, chasing the clout.

00:09:41.000 And now all of a sudden, you know, you're seeing people like, what's, what's going on, man?

00:09:44.000 I only got a hundred likes on.

00:09:46.000 And like, they wake up the next day with like cold sweats because they literally are not getting the same engagements.

00:09:51.000 Like it's, it blows my mind.

00:09:53.000 Just like.

00:09:54.000 How hard, hard, hardwired people are to Twitter.

00:09:56.000 Yeah.

00:09:57.000 And Instagram, all of it, man.

00:09:59.000 I feel like Elon Musk is just like, he's running experiments and collecting data for the aliens.

00:10:03.000 He's like, hmm, I wonder if I deprive them of, how are they going to react?

00:10:09.000 Everyone's dopamine just dropped by like 80% and they're like, ah!

00:10:15.000 What are we doing, bros?

00:10:17.000 What are we doing?

00:10:17.000 I thought we had real lives.

00:10:18.000 I thought we touched the most grass out of everybody on Twitter.

00:10:21.000 It reminds me of panning for gold.

00:10:25.000 I think people are trying to find a way to crack the algorithm.

00:10:28.000 Back in the day on YouTube, if you could figure out how to post on everyone's page at once, then all of a sudden your channel broke through the algorithm.

00:10:34.000 People could get really famous in a relatively short amount of time on social networks, but a lot of these networks now are ready for that, so they're trying to stop it from happening, but people are still hoping they find some gold in the river sift.

00:10:44.000 Dude, it used to be on YouTube that you'd make a video where you're talking about George W. Bush and the war in Iraq, but the thumbnail was just like a big-tittied woman. 0.98

00:10:55.000 I'm not even kidding, because people would click on it.

00:10:58.000 And so you're like, I'm not a woman, but if I'm going to get those clicks, and the thumbnail would be like a guy going like this, and it would be like, war in Iraq, and there would be just like a big, large-breasted woman next to him.

00:11:08.000 And then it would get a million hits.

00:11:10.000 And they used to do this thing, too, where they would They would make videos with fake thumbnails and fake titles, and when you clicked it, it would just play like, it would show like a sentence, and it would play music, and they would get massively thumbs down, but they generated tons of hits.

00:11:25.000 YouTube started to clean this up, like, okay, we can't allow this, but if you look at some of the earliest YouTubers, and go look at their, like, big ones, and look at their YouTube channels, you will see they just, for some reason, tended to have thumbnails that needed to talk about women in bikinis.

00:11:38.000 Lisa Nova, huge in 2006-7, and I remember the video that really popped off the thumbnail was just a big butt crack.

00:11:46.000 And all of a sudden it got millions of clicks. 0.89

00:11:49.000 And I don't think it was her butt crack, it was like Kasim G's butt crack. 0.97

00:11:53.000 Shout out to Kasim. 0.89

00:11:54.000 There's also Casey Neistat's famous video, Make It Count.

00:11:57.000 Remember this one?

00:11:58.000 No.

00:11:59.000 It's the one where he said that he was given a budget to produce a commercial for a Nike and instead of doing that he just traveled around the world in 10 days because it was more fun.

00:12:06.000 Something like that.

00:12:08.000 And it ended up being an amazing commercial.

00:12:09.000 But the thumbnail for it is two women in bikinis posing and him taking a picture.

00:12:15.000 People knew exactly what they were doing with how they engaged.

00:12:18.000 The crazy thing to me is That we've created a points system for our lives.

00:12:24.000 We've video gamified politics in life.

00:12:27.000 Like with Twitter, these are political personalities being like, I'm not getting engagement anymore, so I'm going to lock my account to get more engagement.

00:12:33.000 And I'm like, that sounds like someone made a mouse trap.

00:12:36.000 And put peanut butter in it and you were like, I'm gonna go in there and get that peanut butter.

00:12:40.000 And then your account gets locked.

00:12:42.000 All your retweets are gone.

00:12:43.000 All your quote tweets are gone.

00:12:44.000 It is it's like, yo, somebody at Twitter figured out how to ban the conservatives in one sweep by getting them to walk into the trap themselves.

00:12:52.000 That's hilarious, bro.

00:12:54.000 But there are tons of people who aren't on Twitter who, like, if you explain this, like, everyone's locking their account, it's a big deal, they're gonna be like, what?

00:13:00.000 I don't understand.

00:13:00.000 Because, like, Twitter feeds itself, right?

00:13:03.000 Like when things start to irritate people on Twitter, it circles around, like there are parts of Twitter

00:13:09.000 that won't care about anything that's going on.

00:13:11.000 Engagement is sort of universal, like trying to drive traffic to your profile

00:13:15.000 is like the one unifying front through all of Twitter.

00:13:18.000 And even then, there are tons of people who don't use the platform who don't care about this.

00:13:22.000 Hey, let's just call it what it is, bro.

00:13:24.000 Like we discovered the meta, the like the one meta build on Twitter

00:13:30.000 and the mods got mad and they patched it and now everybody's all just like freaking out.

00:13:34.000 So honestly, I'm trying to figure this out.

00:13:37.000 What if all the conservatives just kind of like locked their accounts or everybody's conservative and independent just locked their accounts and the journalists literally can't like write hit pieces anymore.

00:13:46.000 That's what I'm thinking, that we should all just like... That's actually a good point.

00:13:49.000 I was gonna say that all of these accounts that locked their tweets, all these people that locked their accounts, all the news articles that have recorded those tweets, gone.

00:13:59.000 They're now gonna show dead space.

00:14:01.000 Oh, man.

00:14:02.000 Oh, God.

00:14:02.000 If they unlock their account, they don't repopulate, right?

00:14:05.000 I think it'll go back.

00:14:06.000 You think so?

00:14:07.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:14:07.000 Because that'd be interesting, too, if you just, like, periodically, like, lock your account for 24 hours so, like, anyone who's used your stuff can't get access to it.

00:14:14.000 Look, I like Elon.

00:14:15.000 I like Elon Musk.

00:14:17.000 I'm glad that he got Twitter.

00:14:18.000 I'm glad he released Twitter files.

00:14:19.000 I think he could do better, but he's doing what he can.

00:14:22.000 But I gotta be honest, if Twitter, I woke up tomorrow and it was gone, I'd be happy.

00:14:27.000 I'd use mine.

00:14:28.000 It's just a piece of tech.

00:14:29.000 It's the same as YouTube.

00:14:30.000 Internet video is where it's at.

00:14:31.000 It doesn't matter what network you're on.

00:14:33.000 Internet video is the powerful tool.

00:14:36.000 I think that a lot of these problems, people are searching for a way to break an algorithm that they don't understand because the code is private.

00:14:42.000 If the code was public and you could see what the algorithm is doing, you would know whether or not this was going to have any value locking your account.

00:14:48.000 You wouldn't have to do it.

00:14:48.000 Are you saying we should free the code?

00:14:50.000 Yeah.

00:14:52.000 Free the code, baby.

00:14:53.000 There we go, guys.

00:14:54.000 Someone suggested me and you arm wrestle.

00:14:56.000 I don't think it's going to happen.

00:14:57.000 Dude, are you ready?

00:14:58.000 I don't think I can take you with two arms.

00:15:02.000 I don't know, man.

00:15:03.000 Two legs and two arms.

00:15:04.000 Actually, I gotta be honest.

00:15:05.000 I'm pretty sure you could just like lift Ian with one arm.

00:15:08.000 Bicep curl?

00:15:09.000 Yeah, I can bicep curl.

00:15:10.000 What's an average one arm bicep curl?

00:15:13.000 Dude, average is probably like 40.

00:15:15.000 But then again, I mean, my wife, she curls like 30 pound dumbbells. 1.00

00:15:18.000 So she's kind of skewing extremely high on that. 0.98

00:15:22.000 Yeah, honestly, for me, think about 70 or 80.

00:15:26.000 Like, dude, imagine this.

00:15:29.000 News is so slow, I'm actually getting to come on Them Caps and just talk about my biceps.

00:15:33.000 Think about that.

00:15:34.000 There was some news today, the Biden stuff, and I'm just like, I don't care, man.

00:15:40.000 Look, we get it. 0.97

00:15:41.000 The Bidens are crooked. 1.00

00:15:42.000 They're dirty people. 1.00

00:15:44.000 And I started thinking about this. 0.98

00:15:45.000 I did a segment at 4 p.m.

00:15:46.000 Jack Posobiec wrote about his old neighborhood when he was a kid and how it's fallen apart and crime ridden.

00:15:51.000 And then I'm just like, yeah, that's the result.

00:15:53.000 They're actually all symptoms of the same thing, cultural fragmentation.

00:15:57.000 I was saying that, you know, you go back, imagine a small town of 3,000 people and you've got a nice God-fearing white family, a nice God-fearing black family, a nice God-fearing Latino family. 0.85

00:16:07.000 My point is, they, Asian family, they agree culturally and ideologically on their worldview.

00:16:13.000 Race doesn't matter. 0.98

00:16:15.000 Their views on morality are all the same.

00:16:17.000 So if one guy loses his job and goes on unemployment, nobody's mad about it.

00:16:23.000 They're like, we got your back, buddy.

00:16:24.000 You know, don't worry.

00:16:25.000 We'll see you at church on Sunday.

00:16:26.000 And it's like, I'm going to keep trying.

00:16:27.000 I know you guys are there for me.

00:16:28.000 Then eventually finds a job.

00:16:30.000 No one is, you know, when everybody agrees with each other and wants to be part of the same community, they're not looking to exploit each other.

00:16:37.000 They're not looking to commit crimes against each other.

00:16:39.000 They got each other's back.

00:16:40.000 Social programs work.

00:16:41.000 Crime is low.

00:16:42.000 You don't need police.

00:16:44.000 And then I started thinking about what the Biden family represents.

00:16:47.000 And it's just like, They are both a symptom of and the cause of.

00:16:52.000 It's like a whirlpool.

00:16:54.000 When you have a fractured moral society and people just stop caring, and you get Democrats who are like, I'm voting for this guy simply because I hate you, then the people they end up voting for, like the Bidens, are crime families.

00:17:08.000 And then because you end up with a crime family in government, they end up burning everything to the ground.

00:17:14.000 He's kind of like a, not quite, an old washed-up politician.

00:17:17.000 He's kind of like an old washed-up politician.

00:17:19.000 Like after 1988 when he was plagiarizing in his presidential run and he had to drop out of the race, he was pretty much laughed at, scorned, and like never taken seriously again, until all of a sudden Obama Puts him as his VP.

00:17:30.000 He runs.

00:17:30.000 He looks like a doddering old man in 2008.

00:17:33.000 No one took him seriously while he was running against Obama.

00:17:36.000 And then all of a sudden, I guess now we find out it was the establishment.

00:17:39.000 It's the DNC.

00:17:40.000 It's like the Democratic Party that selects the running mate.

00:17:42.000 I thought Obama put him in as like, oh, I want an old white guy. 0.92

00:17:46.000 I want a business guy to represent that business part because I'm the rebel.

00:17:50.000 Nah man, you remember they ran it by him and then Biden had that infamous little script where he was like, you know, we got the first clean, well-spoken black guy.

00:17:59.000 And you know, it was like a very, you know, they literally had the place set up.

00:18:04.000 And so it's just, it's, it's kind of funny because, you know, Tim, you were saying, it's just like all of, all the people hate each other and they vote candidates in just to spite other people.

00:18:13.000 Well then, that means Biden is literally just like an embodiment of the hatred and contempt that Americans have for each other.

00:18:19.000 You see that in how they govern.

00:18:19.000 Yeah.

00:18:22.000 They have hatred and contempt for us, you know?

00:18:24.000 And the way they conduct themselves, right?

00:18:25.000 Like, I have never found a reason to write about it, but like, Hunter Biden has this illegitimate child who he won't acknowledge, even though he put her mom on the payroll for a while.

00:18:35.000 And like, now her mom, who I believe was a stripper, I'm not sure, Um, is, like, trying to get her daughter to have the Biden last name so that she is, you know, acknowledged, is connected, because it's beneficial to be- to be known in America as a Biden.

00:18:49.000 And to me, like, this is someone who doesn't acknowledge this child.

00:18:54.000 Like, it sounds horrible to- to saddle your child with the name of a man who doesn't want to acknowledge her, who had another child after, who they bring out for photos.

00:19:02.000 Like, it's- it's- He's resisting.

00:19:03.000 He's- he's trying to stop the name.

00:19:04.000 He- he has asked a judge to presi- to, uh, to not let this happen.

00:19:08.000 Meanwhile, Grandma Joe Biden brings his toddler son that he had in wedlock with this South African film director.

00:19:15.000 They present themselves as this family, and they love the young women, and they're so supportive, and then really, on the other hand, they don't practice anything they preach.

00:19:24.000 And we see this time and time again, right?

00:19:26.000 No one is perfect, but it's different to say, oh, this is the package we're selling you, America, and please ignore the other stuff, right?

00:19:34.000 It's just corrupt, morally.

00:19:35.000 It's like someone took like all the negative things of like, it's like somebody that doesn't, does not understand American culture, except for the bad things basically took and distilled all of the worst aspects, drugs, fatherless children, money laundering, corruption, and just like literally just imbibed them into Biden family.

00:19:55.000 At that point.

00:19:56.000 And that's, like, literally what we have, so.

00:19:59.000 But Vogue did a cover of Naomi Biden's wedding, so we should just accept that they are, like, the beautiful new Americana family.

00:20:05.000 Like, it makes me sad, right?

00:20:07.000 Like, these, like, Tiffany, Trump, and I'm gonna make this point because I've been thinking about it for weeks and have not had a chance to do it, to make it, but Tiffany, Trump got married the weekend before Naomi Biden, right?

00:20:18.000 Very similar styles, very lavish wedding, both, like, from powerful families, but, like, Naomi Biden's is good and it's representational even though her family actually has all this scandal and all this weird connection and they treat each other strangely and the

00:20:33.000 Trump family, by all accounts, like, is unusual, right?

00:20:36.000 A man who's been divorced three times has all of these kids, like, not super typical.

00:20:40.000 But by all accounts, all of the siblings get along really well.

00:20:42.000 But they're the bad family.

00:20:43.000 They're representational of negative family politics.

00:20:46.000 Like, it doesn't really make sense.

00:20:47.000 This is why I did the segment I did at 4 p.m.

00:20:50.000 Normally, you know, because normally what I do every day is I grab like the big story And I'm like, here's the thing that happened.

00:20:50.000 on my main channel.

00:20:56.000 Here's what it means.

00:20:57.000 Here's some other stuff about it.

00:20:57.000 Here's what's going on.

00:20:58.000 And like the other day I was talking about, oh, Biden scandal, the emails.

00:21:02.000 Apparently, Hunter Biden emails from his laptop suggest he had access to classified information.

00:21:07.000 And it seems like in emails, they were directly getting information straight from the White House.

00:21:11.000 So that's a big scandal.

00:21:13.000 Today, there was more information on it, that they had raided the Penn Biden Center or whatever.

00:21:17.000 And so there was like, the FBI were doing raids on the Bidens for a while now, before the midterms, and they weren't telling us.

00:21:22.000 And then I was just like, thinking about Chuck Todd, Jim Jordan goes on meet the press.

00:21:29.000 And he says, you know, Chuck Todd's like, but Trump had classified documents.

00:21:33.000 And he's like, Trump is the president.

00:21:35.000 And they were guarded by the Secret Service.

00:21:36.000 And they were locked up.

00:21:38.000 And Biden had him sitting in his garage.

00:21:40.000 And then just for tribal reasons, Chuck Todd says no!

00:21:44.000 No!

00:21:45.000 Like, you can't see it!

00:21:46.000 You know, it's a conspiracy and it's just like, we get it, those of us of sound mind.

00:21:53.000 Chuck Todd is just saying whatever he has to because there is a cult of people who don't care what's true, they care that they are right.

00:22:01.000 So you can come out and make your argument, and they don't care!

00:22:04.000 Literally don't care.

00:22:05.000 And I'm just thinking about all this, and I'm like, then I saw Jack Posobiec's article about how his neighborhood fell apart.

00:22:11.000 And I'm like, yeah, it's because we have no cultural cohesion, we have no shared moral framework, and so we end up with leaders who are basically on the Titanic, watching the iceberg coming, right before it hits they run, grab a whole bunch of silverware

00:22:26.000 and jump in a lifeboat and just cast off. Instead of actually steering the ship, saving

00:22:32.000 people, or being like a real captain and saying, you know, last person off the ship or you go down

00:22:36.000 with it, they're off the ship first and then even tell you what happened. Oh, no worse. They're

00:22:41.000 telling you everything's fine.

00:22:43.000 Don't worry, guys.

00:22:44.000 Go back to the minibar.

00:22:45.000 Get some more drinks.

00:22:46.000 Go gamble.

00:22:47.000 Just get off the deck.

00:22:48.000 Mostly peaceful iceberg.

00:22:50.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:22:51.000 The ship starts sinking.

00:22:52.000 It starts going up, and people are sliding.

00:22:54.000 Don't worry.

00:22:54.000 This is the slide function.

00:22:56.000 It's fun.

00:22:57.000 Glasses are flying up.

00:22:58.000 People are hanging from the side.

00:22:59.000 They're like, everything's still fine.

00:23:00.000 The ground is flat.

00:23:02.000 Meanwhile, there is a second ship that pulled up.

00:23:07.000 Uh, funded by the Chinese Communist Party.

00:23:09.000 And they're, they're rowing over being like, don't worry about it!

00:23:13.000 Hunter, get the boat! 0.86

00:23:15.000 That's exactly what they're doing.

00:23:16.000 I think that's, I think a lot of the business dealings Hunter Biden is doing is basically, like, these people are running this country into the ground in more ways than one.

00:23:24.000 From, from neighborhoods falling apart to the tribalistic nature of humans, of society right now.

00:23:30.000 I'm wondering if their attitude is just like, look, one man's not going to fix this.

00:23:33.000 Grab what you can, every man for himself.

00:23:35.000 I've been thinking about, oh, No, I was about to say, it's like a multi-layered hedge, basically.

00:23:40.000 You already know it's going to burn down, so why not extract all the wealth that you can, that way when it burns down, you're sitting kind of pretty, looking like royalty.

00:23:49.000 Then you can come back and the ashes are there, and then you can suddenly say, hey guys, we have money, we can fix this, and then you basically take all the credit, rebuild it, everybody's ground down and depressed.

00:23:58.000 It's kind of like Russia post-Soviet collapse, really.

00:24:02.000 That's that's why all the drinking ruski, you know, sort of, you know, those stereotypes come from because when the Soviet collapsed, they basically gave Russian people all these waivers and, you know, things like this when these people couldn't even feed themselves.

00:24:16.000 And so then basically you had the oligarchs in the American banks basically come over and buy up all almost all the industry and, you know, turn Russians into basically slave slave workers.

00:24:26.000 And then next thing you know, Well, it's bad, but now the oligarchs run everything and they've already got all the money. 0.99

00:24:32.000 Yeah, I got an idea.

00:24:34.000 If it's all going to come crashing down, go buy some chickens.

00:24:38.000 Buck, buck, buck, man.

00:24:39.000 Because the people who are able to sustain themselves more than others are going to be better off if this is the trend that continues.

00:24:47.000 I do think there's an alternative.

00:24:48.000 That's why I said we need to make America great again.

00:24:51.000 And I don't know if I'm saying it in the exact same way that all the Trump supporters are saying it, but I imagine, probably, when Jack Masovic brings up Pizza Hut when he was a kid, and there's a salad bar, and if you read a book in school, they gave you a free donut, and you got a free, I don't know, there's a bunch, all I remember was pizza.

00:25:06.000 That's all I remember.

00:25:06.000 Because I remember there was a pizza next to a Dunkin Donuts, so I'd get the free pizza and then when we were leaving I'd go get a free donut.

00:25:12.000 There was other stuff on it.

00:25:13.000 It was like drug addiction.

00:25:15.000 They give you the cheese and the high fructose corn syrup and the sauce with sugar and your donut.

00:25:19.000 The good old days, Ian.

00:25:20.000 She didn't know that we were at war.

00:25:23.000 Bro, I doubt back then they had all that stuff.

00:25:25.000 It was like after 92 is when the high fructose started coming in.

00:25:28.000 But we were living in a haze of ignorance at that time.

00:25:31.000 You know what though?

00:25:32.000 Maybe.

00:25:33.000 The decline of literacy levels because I know you guys see in the schools how like kids can't even read anymore.

00:25:40.000 It started when they took away the personal pen pieces.

00:25:42.000 That's when it happened.

00:25:43.000 Now you see how they're tweeting?

00:25:47.000 Oh my God, it gives me a headache, bro.

00:25:50.000 It's all like court stenographer shorthand.

00:25:53.000 Yeah, and honestly, I grew up with it.

00:25:56.000 I don't know if you guys know this, but I'm black.

00:25:58.000 What?

00:25:59.000 Obviously, we have our own dialect and our own vernacular and stuff.

00:26:03.000 I assumed you were a white supremacist.

00:26:05.000 Dude, I know, I know.

00:26:06.000 Did you see those five guys, though? 0.71

00:26:08.000 Jesus Christ, you're not seeing black people anymore, man. 1.00

00:26:10.000 These white people out here are crazy. 1.00

00:26:12.000 But no, bro. 1.00

00:26:12.000 He's a white supremacist, man. 1.00

00:26:14.000 Dave Chappelle called it. 0.89

00:26:16.000 What were you saying?

00:26:17.000 We do real estate.

00:26:18.000 No, no, no. 0.99

00:26:19.000 So you're black. 0.99

00:26:20.000 Please continue. 0.98

00:26:20.000 I know. 0.98

00:26:22.000 Hierarchy, guys.

00:26:23.000 Hierarchy.

00:26:25.000 But no, it's just sort of funny, you know, when you sort of think about it, you know, I grew up in a world where, like, we used our own vernacular and our own dialect when we talked.

00:26:36.000 And it was mainly just because, you know, it was shorthand.

00:26:38.000 Certain words we just didn't know how to pronounce.

00:26:40.000 Now you see people out here purposely typing, like, purposely misspelling, and, like, the errors and just the misuse of there.

00:26:50.000 Oh, it's hard for me, man.

00:26:52.000 Like, where are all the semicolons?

00:26:54.000 You know, they exist for a reason.

00:26:55.000 It's two different subjects in one sentence.

00:26:57.000 There's no comma.

00:26:58.000 Use the semicolon to delineate the two subjects.

00:27:01.000 I'm going to write you a note, and I'm going to leave it in your room.

00:27:03.000 It's going to have no semicolons and improper punctuation. 0.56

00:27:05.000 I'm going to puke on myself.

00:27:08.000 Hey, I want to tag on what you're saying about the oligarchs earlier, because this has been crossing my mind last night.

00:27:12.000 I'm like, okay, this Russian invasion of Ukraine.

00:27:15.000 It's not Putin.

00:27:16.000 I mean, Putin's one of them.

00:27:17.000 It's the Russian oligarchs that are in charge.

00:27:19.000 It's basically a hyper-capitalist state of oligarchs are running that thing. 1.00

00:27:24.000 And it's no wonder they want to conquer a trade port in Sevastopol.

00:27:27.000 They want that trade.

00:27:27.000 Because it's what hyper-capitalists would do in civilization if you were playing against them and they had a government run by a bunch of uber people just like capitalists.

00:27:36.000 But I'm wondering, For the capitalists of the United States, the oligarchs of the United States, if they want to control the world, they would want to ally with the capitalists of Russia against, I would think. 0.93

00:27:46.000 Either they're too stupid and they think that really they can beat them in a sort of attrition, or they're intentionally taking us to war to kill off the common man so that, like you said earlier, they could come back and rebuild with all their finances. 0.96

00:28:02.000 That's where you're wrong, kiddo, because these aren't regular capitalists. 1.00

00:28:05.000 These are crony capitalists.

00:28:06.000 Right.

00:28:07.000 Crony capitalists don't care about free market competition.

00:28:10.000 They just want to fix the game for them to win.

00:28:12.000 But, you know, it's funny you bring that up, because actually, you know, Russia now, the oligarch problem isn't near as bad as it used to be.

00:28:20.000 Like, I don't know if you guys noticed, but when the IMF came in and they tried to do what was called shock therapy, where you convert a formerly communist nation to a capitalist nation.

00:28:29.000 The oligarchs botched the whole thing on purpose because they wanted to buy all the infrastructure up for cheap.

00:28:34.000 Putin, when he came to power, actually drove most of those oligarchs out of Russia.

00:28:39.000 And guess where they went?

00:28:40.000 Ukraine.

00:28:41.000 Ukraine and to the U.S.

00:28:44.000 So a lot of this anti-Putin sentiment that we see, you know, Putin's Listen, let's go for what he is.

00:28:49.000 I mean, I'm not saying he's a good guy, but you know, compared to some of the other Russian leaders, the people of the Russian Federation, he's actually a moderate, you know, I've heard that.

00:28:57.000 And, you know, you can't take my word for the gospel, but a lot of Russians are, you know, pretty frustrated that he pity padded, you know, with the war that he had this kind of kid's glove approach with Ukraine to begin with.

00:29:08.000 And then, you know, when they brought in Serovich in or General Armageddon, basically now they're 0.93

00:29:14.000 going full scale anyways.

00:29:15.000 And they're just like, why didn't you do that before?

00:29:18.000 And it's, you know, it's kind of crazy how you have all this anti-Russian rhetoric going

00:29:24.000 anyways.

00:29:25.000 But it's just old oligarchs of the past and angry, rich boomers with a war grudge against

00:29:33.000 Russia just want to finish picking the bones clean because, you know, they have all that 1.00

00:29:36.000 gas, you know.

00:29:37.000 All that Cold War brainwash.

00:29:40.000 Yeah, yeah, man.

00:29:42.000 It's coming to roost.

00:29:43.000 So it's crazy.

00:29:44.000 I'm looking at some of the oligarchs on, I just went to Wikipedia, Russian oligarchs.

00:29:47.000 We have Arkady Rautenberg, Gennady Timchenko, Alisher Usmanov.

00:29:52.000 Are these names ringing a bell?

00:29:53.000 Peter Avin, Mikhail Prokhorov, Oleg Deripaska.

00:29:58.000 There's nine of them.

00:29:59.000 Vagat Alekperov, Vladimir Potanin, and Roman Abramovich.

00:30:04.000 He's probably the most famous name-wise, Roman Abramovich.

00:30:06.000 I've heard of him before.

00:30:07.000 What's crazy is the cost of property in Ukraine.

00:30:10.000 Because there's no way the average Ukrainian can own property. 1.00

00:30:14.000 Unless you're a coder.

00:30:17.000 So I, you know, I know people, I mentioned it, I have friends who are Ukrainian and they'll say that like the average salary is like 400 bucks a month or something like that.

00:30:27.000 And if you want to buy property, the prices are comparable to a property in the United States.

00:30:32.000 It's like $300,000 to buy a studio apartment in the city or something like that.

00:30:35.000 And if you're making $400 a month, you will never buy that.

00:30:37.000 But if you're a developer or coder, you're making $150,000 per year.

00:30:42.000 US, while living in Ukraine, you're living like a king.

00:30:44.000 You're over there.

00:30:46.000 So what ends up happening is, the way they described it to me, The property is all owned by oligarchs, and everyone else has to rent from them.

00:30:54.000 You can buy it, it's for sale, but only the wealthiest people and foreigners come and actually buy up the property.

00:30:59.000 Ukrainians struggle with it.

00:31:00.000 So they own nothing, but do they like it?

00:31:03.000 You know, it's a pretty chill place.

00:31:04.000 They got cabbage.

00:31:05.000 And you can get cabbage and beef and stuff like that.

00:31:08.000 When I was in Kiev, I was at the Maidan Square.

00:31:11.000 It was awesome.

00:31:12.000 It was a blast.

00:31:13.000 It's a cool place.

00:31:14.000 So it really sucks what's been going on, to be completely honest.

00:31:18.000 Going to little food buffets.

00:31:19.000 They had, I remember when I was there, they had like a music, they had a TV playing with music on it.

00:31:25.000 And then Paris Hilton came on.

00:31:27.000 Music video.

00:31:28.000 And then I was like, you guys get Paris Hilton here?

00:31:30.000 My friend was like, of course, we get all the American celebrities.

00:31:33.000 And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, you don't understand.

00:31:35.000 Paris Hilton music doesn't exist in the United States.

00:31:38.000 Like we don't listen to it.

00:31:39.000 And you guys do.

00:31:41.000 And that's kind of funny to me.

00:31:42.000 I don't know.

00:31:43.000 I was thinking about this invasion and where there's a lot of like kickback now from my friends that I guess you consider more liberal.

00:31:50.000 They're like, Ukraine is Ukraine. 0.85

00:31:52.000 We're not, we don't want Ukraine to give up anything.

00:31:54.000 Russians should not be invading.

00:31:55.000 Get out. 1.00

00:31:56.000 We will, we'll send American troops to die to keep up. 1.00

00:31:58.000 And I'm like, where was your voice when the United States invaded Iraq?

00:32:03.000 We're still invading Iraq. 0.97

00:32:04.000 The invasion doesn't stop the day after it starts.

00:32:07.000 If we're still at presence there, we were invading in the moment.

00:32:10.000 Where's your, why aren't you speaking out against what you can actually control? 1.00

00:32:14.000 A lot of them are too young, and just, if I can be crass, too stupid to even understand that. 1.00

00:32:22.000 People don't see the whole bigger picture, honestly. 0.99

00:32:24.000 You know, Ian mentioned we were living in ignorance, and someone super chatted saying, this is Christopher Marr saying, Ian, living in a haze of ignorance is called living the dream.

00:32:33.000 But I think what ends up happening is, you get a generation that raises their kids in ignorance, then when they pass on the world to those kids, this is what you get.

00:32:43.000 You get the Bidens.

00:32:44.000 You get people being like Vosh when he came on the show, and I'm like, isn't the corruption of the Biden family from when he was VP like a concern to you?

00:32:51.000 And he's like, oh, I don't know anything about it.

00:32:53.000 I was a little kid.

00:32:54.000 I was in high school when that happened.

00:32:55.000 I didn't pay attention.

00:32:55.000 And I'm like, oh.

00:32:57.000 So like, the bad guy runs for office 10 years later, and you're just like, I just heard of this guy.

00:33:04.000 You're like, uh-huh.

00:33:04.000 You know?

00:33:05.000 There's a lot of bad guys, you gotta look into who they are.

00:33:07.000 Yeah, I think that's what, you know, I can't say the RNC isn't guilty of this, but definitely the DNC, like, that's why they like young voters, because it's like a blank slate.

00:33:16.000 Yeah, the DNC.

00:33:16.000 Yeah, I would say the DNC, like, that's why they often push these guys.

00:33:21.000 I think the RNC too, I think all political parties operate this way, but I think anytime you get this new class of 18 year olds who have the right to vote, They don't remember 30 years of political history and especially it's even ones who are super politically engaged they just haven't had enough time to learn everything and all the nuances and why this senator doesn't get along with that one and this deal you know you can only know so much when you're young but getting them

00:33:46.000 Getting anyone to support your ideology, especially when you buy in with like sort of the name brand.

00:33:52.000 I think of a lot of modern politics like rooting for sports teams, you know?

00:33:56.000 Like you don't know why your family supports this team, you just do.

00:33:59.000 I think that is something that some political parties take in stride, you know?

00:34:05.000 They don't have to explain the sins of people they're now electing to president.

00:34:09.000 Things that they did when they were senators mean nothing to people who are new voters.

00:34:13.000 Let's jump into this next story, and it's kind of changing the subject, but it goes in line with what we were talking about.

00:34:18.000 We have this from TimCast.com.

00:34:19.000 PragerU personality details YouTube kids promoting LGBTQ content.

00:34:24.000 These videos are not child-friendly, and YouTube is pushing them to indoctrinate kids.

00:34:28.000 And it's worse than that.

00:34:30.000 This is Aldo Budizoni.

00:34:32.000 YouTube Kids is grooming children with LGBTQ propaganda.

00:34:36.000 Aldo, I think you actually need to, you buried the lead here, and I mean this with all due respect.

00:34:41.000 The real concern is that at a certain point he, so what Aldo says is he signed up an account made for 9 to 12 year olds, and then one of the first videos that pops up recommends a kid meets gender non-conforming person.

00:34:54.000 I'm not as concerned with just that.

00:34:57.000 The issue is when it gets into the ideas of consent, and they're telling children about consent, and they start talking about, here we go, consent is giving permission to someone or something.

00:35:08.000 Why are they giving 9 and 12 year olds consent lessons in a sexual context?

00:35:13.000 This is what's alarming about what YouTube Kids is doing.

00:35:16.000 So you think it's just in the schools, and Ron DeSantis has his plan to get rid of diversity, equity, and inclusion, but everybody in this is five steps behind what's actually been going on.

00:35:27.000 And going back to Elsagate, people have been giving their kids YouTube, their kids are then, they're like, YouTube Kids, it's good for you!

00:35:34.000 And then you get some adult, in a sexualized context like drag, saying, let's talk about what it means to consent.

00:35:40.000 And then, in this thread, I think it's in this thread.

00:35:42.000 You have Billboard Chris, we've met on the show, a guy telling him that their goal is to decouple age and consent.

00:35:50.000 Quite literally saying he wants 12-year-olds to be able to consent with adults.

00:35:55.000 This is what they're pushing on kids.

00:35:57.000 I'm not surprised by it, but it's got to be insidious.

00:36:01.000 It can't be overt.

00:36:02.000 They can't come out right now and just say it.

00:36:05.000 It's got to be a slow, creeping, malevolent force that goes under the radar.

00:36:09.000 So when mom and dad are busy with work and they hand the iPad to the kid and sign up for YouTube Kids because YouTube Kids is safe, what does YouTube Kids say?

00:36:16.000 Come here, little boy.

00:36:17.000 Come into a sexualized context where we can tell you about consent.

00:36:21.000 That's exactly what they're doing.

00:36:23.000 The internet and television is like inviting a stranger into your home to babysit your children.

00:36:28.000 If you wouldn't pick some random person off the street, you cannot trust anything that comes from the internet, cable TV.

00:36:35.000 It is written by someone you don't know for a company that you don't know what their values are.

00:36:41.000 Even if you pick one video, the YouTube algorithm immediately serves up another video.

00:36:45.000 There's no way for you to know for sure what's gonna happen.

00:36:48.000 And that's why, again, I can't help but think it's like inviting Just a random person you met at the grocery store to come watch your kids for two hours.

00:36:56.000 And I get it, like, it's hard to be a parent.

00:36:57.000 You've got a lot of stuff going on.

00:36:58.000 Sometimes you need a break.

00:36:59.000 You need to, like, have a way to engage your children that you don't need to be there present for.

00:37:03.000 But, like, TV is not it, sir.

00:37:06.000 What if I told you that the YouTube Kids app was promoting child strippers to your 9 to 12 year olds?

00:37:13.000 Well, that's in the thread.

00:37:15.000 Meet Desmond Is Amazing.

00:37:16.000 Now, of course, his family's quite litigious, but there's a video of him dancing on stage for money at an adult gay bar.

00:37:24.000 That is the same thing as go-go dancing.

00:37:27.000 Why is a child doing this, and why are they promoting this to other children?

00:37:33.000 Well, I'm... Degradation of society?

00:37:36.000 Well, that's for sure, is that people are overly sexualized children will become overly sexualized adults and think it's normal or okay out of their own guilt.

00:37:44.000 Like, hey, it's not so bad what happened to me, so, you know, this isn't so bad.

00:37:46.000 Which is, like, terrifying and sad.

00:37:48.000 Yeah, it really is.

00:37:49.000 Cycle of abuse.

00:37:50.000 But it's crazy because it also plays into what we've been talking about, about the erosion of community.

00:37:54.000 Again, when people are so into sex, when they're so into themselves and their own genders, like, they're not paying attention to what's going on.

00:38:01.000 They don't know about the local school board or city elections.

00:38:03.000 They don't know about any of this stuff.

00:38:05.000 All they know is just, you know, it's about my sexual identity, my proclivities, you know, indulging myself.

00:38:13.000 Nothing else matters outside of just treating yourself.

00:38:17.000 And it just it takes your eyes down, you know, basically.

00:38:20.000 And so it's, you know, everything in life can be likened to sports.

00:38:25.000 So basically what typically happens in football, you know, normally quarterback, he gets the ball.

00:38:30.000 He's looking up at the field.

00:38:31.000 He's trying to find a receiver to throw the ball to.

00:38:33.000 So he's got to be aware.

00:38:34.000 But then when pass rush comes, you know, they start throwing stuff in your face.

00:38:37.000 He takes his eyes down.

00:38:38.000 He can't throw the ball.

00:38:39.000 He can't pay attention.

00:38:40.000 You've suddenly stopped.

00:38:42.000 the game from progressing.

00:38:43.000 He can no longer progress the ball.

00:38:45.000 And that's what's happening with society.

00:38:47.000 We've taken our eyes off of the prize, which is advancing humanity, technology, everything else, you know, creating families. 0.93

00:38:54.000 And now we put it down on our genitals.

00:38:56.000 Quite literally looking up at the stars.

00:38:58.000 I think about sending probes to Alpha Centauri.

00:39:00.000 It'll take like 80 years for a probe to get there.

00:39:01.000 Can you imagine if we do that today?

00:39:03.000 In 80 years, we will have probes in Alpha Centauri.

00:39:05.000 Sure, 80 years?

00:39:06.000 Yeah, that's what I read anyway, a couple weeks ago.

00:39:08.000 That sounds like really fast.

00:39:09.000 Yeah, it sounds super fast, like within a lifetime.

00:39:12.000 I can go and double check it, but this was like, this is stuff we should be focusing on.

00:39:16.000 Aliens are watching, they're just going like, you know, they had a lot going for them when they went to that moon, and now I don't know what they're doing.

00:39:22.000 We thought they might be a threat, but not so much anymore. 0.98

00:39:25.000 Some rich alien oligarch just lost all of his bet on, like, this interdimensional betting app, and he's like, God dang it, humanity, you screwed the pooch!

00:39:32.000 But it reminds me of that expression, like, uh, you can't see beyond the nose on your face, right? 0.64

00:39:35.000 Like, if you can't stop but think about, like, your own identity and your own sexual pleasure, and we're introducing that earlier and earlier, like, how can you expect anyone to spend time thinking about, like, The society around them, or moral philosophy, or science, or anything else.

00:39:50.000 Everything is about the internal, and I think it's good to be in touch with your emotions, but you can't be so dominated by your personal consuming thoughts that you are divorced from the world around you.

00:40:02.000 But wait, there's more, because we gotta put a neat little bow on this.

00:40:06.000 This ties into Big Pharma, because now when you get all these kids exploring all of these alternative sexualities, Now you got the cisgender to trans pipeline. 0.55

00:40:17.000 So they can now suddenly, if they want to explore, let's get some puberty blockers.

00:40:21.000 Let's get some gender affirming care. 1.00

00:40:23.000 The next thing you know, again, that's where social media comes in.

00:40:25.000 You know, we're right here at the whole dead internet theory.

00:40:28.000 They start getting engagement from other people in that community.

00:40:31.000 They start flooding them and love bombing them.

00:40:33.000 And so now they get addicted to that.

00:40:34.000 The next thing you know, they take it further.

00:40:36.000 Boom.

00:40:37.000 Now you're done.

00:40:37.000 Fully trans'd a kid from YouTube Kids.

00:40:40.000 And you know, that's omitting a lot of steps, but it's basically how it happens.

00:40:45.000 Let's talk about dead internet theory, right?

00:40:46.000 If people aren't on the internet, it's all bots, then where are the people?

00:40:50.000 Are they just not using the internet?

00:40:52.000 Man, they're touching grass, touching all kinds of grass.

00:40:52.000 Never did?

00:40:55.000 I think there are tons of people who are not as engaged.

00:40:57.000 Like, we talk about this a little bit, but like, for your job and for all of us,

00:41:00.000 like being connected to the internet, being on Twitter, stuff like that,

00:41:03.000 like it is part of a professional hazard.

00:41:05.000 Like you need to have the information.

00:41:07.000 But if you are like an electrician who gets up really early and works on jobs

00:41:13.000 and comes back and you hang out with your family, like you don't really have the time

00:41:16.000 to just scroll on your phone endlessly and keep up with who's mad at who on Twitter.

00:41:21.000 I mean, I think that there's just a life outside.

00:41:24.000 The other part is like some people actively choose not to be online, right?

00:41:29.000 They choose not to have television in their home.

00:41:30.000 They choose not to sign their kids up for, you know, Instagram or whatever else.

00:41:35.000 Like, you can be disengaged.

00:41:38.000 And you've talked about this a little bit, Ian, like...

00:41:40.000 There are alternative platforms, right?

00:41:42.000 Like, I know some parents who want to share photos of their kids, but out of privacy concerns, they don't use Facebook, they use something more private.

00:41:50.000 Like, there are people who don't rely on the rest of the world for entertainment and for us, professional content, and I think that's healthier.

00:42:00.000 It's just hard because, I mean, all of us need it.

00:42:03.000 Like, this is our job.

00:42:04.000 Yeah, I think about what if the power went out.

00:42:06.000 That crosses my mind at least every week.

00:42:08.000 I'm like, what would my life become if we had no electricity?

00:42:10.000 I mean, part of me is just, like, secretly in the back of my mind saying, like, please, just... Do it.

00:42:14.000 Do it.

00:42:14.000 Yes.

00:42:16.000 Yes.

00:42:16.000 Because I got a van that can generate its own power and I'll be down by that river just fishing.

00:42:20.000 Yeah.

00:42:20.000 No, I think of, like... I'll show up looking back and just kicking the feet, some straw in the mouth, and just cast a line and forget about all of those.

00:42:27.000 Well, I think of, like, all the reporters who, like, had to go sit in really boring town hall meetings to, like, get the information.

00:42:33.000 Then they had to call people on the phone and talk to them constantly.

00:42:36.000 Like, journalists still do that from time to time, but, like, we are used to getting things much faster because we have the internet.

00:42:42.000 Now they just read tweets and report on tweets.

00:42:44.000 Like, literally.

00:42:45.000 MSN journalists.

00:42:46.000 I don't know what they do.

00:42:46.000 All they do is literally just write articles based on what... Oh, this world reacts to this, this world reacts to that, and they just... Oh, bro.

00:42:54.000 Do you know how many times some news outlet has picked up one of my fake tweets and ran it as fact?

00:42:59.000 No, for real, like, there's just, how about when I said the Queen should be impeached? 0.91

00:43:04.000 So I can't remember exactly what happened, but I said, impeach Queen Elizabeth, and then MEAWW.com wrote an article saying, you know, podcaster Tim Poole calls for, you know, Queen Elizabeth to be impeached, and I was just like, holy crap.

00:43:17.000 When that started, it was the indication of the rupturing of that form of media is when they just started quoting Twitter.

00:43:24.000 It was like 2013 or something.

00:43:25.000 Imagine this.

00:43:26.000 Journalists, like, from the New York Times, walking into the middle of, you know, the Lower East Side, and there's a guy outside just, like, rocking back and forth.

00:43:34.000 They're like, oh, impeach Queen Elizabeth!

00:43:38.000 Sir, what was your name?

00:43:39.000 What was your name?

00:43:41.000 Bill Smith.

00:43:42.000 Let's run it.

00:43:43.000 And then he goes back to the New York Times and says, front page, Bill Smith calls for impeachment of Queen Elizabeth.

00:43:47.000 And then they're like, hey, look.

00:43:49.000 He's a nobody, but people are going to see the story and they're going to be like, wow.

00:43:53.000 And I wonder who this guy is.

00:43:55.000 That's what they're doing.

00:43:56.000 Bill Smith. 0.81

00:43:57.000 I hate that guy. 1.00

00:43:58.000 God damn rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble. 1.00

00:44:00.000 It's so funny though, because yeah, you, you sort of think about this and then this goes into AI, like AI is literally getting all the data off of all the crazy stuff that gets all the clicks. 0.99

00:44:00.000 Oh God. 0.99

00:44:11.000 And then it just incentivizes people to write even crazier articles, which causes people to tweet crazier stuff, bro.

00:44:17.000 And then people get in trouble for, like, interacting with tweets, too.

00:44:20.000 Like, we've moved beyond just, like, people writing stuff.

00:44:23.000 Like, it's like, oh, Ian Crossman liked the Impeach Queen Elizabeth tweet, so he is supportive of this movement.

00:44:29.000 Like, it's like, you know what I mean?

00:44:31.000 It just becomes this sort of hysterical culture off of something you wrote as a joke, or maybe you feel that way.

00:44:36.000 Maybe you liked Impeacher.

00:44:37.000 You can't impeach the queen.

00:44:38.000 I know. 0.99

00:44:38.000 It's ridiculous. 0.99

00:44:40.000 There have been several times where I've tweeted something that is intended to make neither point So, it's like, I meant to highlight just the circumstance.

00:44:50.000 Like, I called the MSNBC Yasmin Vesuvian story about how she got the cold and got myocarditis, and I said, I called it anti-vax propaganda.

00:44:57.000 Because what, she had a cold for three months?

00:44:59.000 Clearly, they're making a segment that was going to trigger anti-vaxxers and make them think this was it.

00:45:04.000 Like, I'm not intending to make any point other than this is the narrative.

00:45:08.000 This is like, Just highlighting this thing, basically.

00:45:13.000 But they will take it and be like, Tim Pool is dead serious and thinks MSNBC does these things.

00:45:17.000 And I'm like... And part of their story is also, look how many people are listening to this guy.

00:45:22.000 Look how many people are listening to that.

00:45:23.000 They don't point it out.

00:45:24.000 They're not like, it got 8,000 retweets, but they don't really report on stuff until it gets to a certain level of people listening.

00:45:30.000 And then they're like, we have to take it seriously.

00:45:32.000 But we don't really know how.

00:45:33.000 Accelerate.

00:45:34.000 Without writing a story about it.

00:45:35.000 At this point, guys, we just accelerate it as fast as we can, man.

00:45:40.000 They write hot stuff.

00:45:40.000 Hot takes.

00:45:41.000 People go mad.

00:45:42.000 People go insane.

00:45:43.000 And the looping cycle just continues.

00:45:45.000 Let me pull up this tweet.

00:45:46.000 This is an awesome tweet.

00:45:47.000 This is from Clay Travis.

00:45:49.000 He says lots of athletes are finally catching on that left-wing sports media ask them political questions so the left-wing sports media members can write their own left-wing political opinions.

00:45:58.000 Here's Azarenka calling that out.

00:46:01.000 I don't know if we can play, like, it's a longer video.

00:46:04.000 What do you guys want us to do?

00:46:05.000 Here we go, listen.

00:46:06.000 About it, like, talk about it.

00:46:09.000 I don't know what's the goal here.

00:46:11.000 That is continuously brought up and this incidents that, in my opinion, have nothing to do with players, but somehow you keep dragging players into it.

00:46:25.000 So, what's the goal here?

00:46:30.000 I think you should ask yourself that question, not me.

00:46:34.000 Sorry, just to clarify on that though, does it frustrate you that, particularly last night for example, there was a clear pro-Russian demonstration happening within the grounds of the tournament, that these people are coming and using the Australian Open as a platform for these kind of demonstrations?

00:46:55.000 Does that frustrate you?

00:46:57.000 I...

00:47:09.000 Whatever the answer I'm going to give it to you right now, it's going to be turned whichever way you want to turn it

00:47:17.000 to.

00:47:18.000 See you later.

00:47:19.000 So, does it bother me?

00:47:22.000 What bothers me is there's real things that's going on in the world and I don't know, are you a politician?

00:47:33.000 Are you?

00:47:33.000 Are you covering politics?

00:47:36.000 Yes, and I'm a sports, and I'm an athlete.

00:47:41.000 I'm a sports journalist.

00:47:42.000 Yes, I'm an athlete.

00:47:46.000 Maybe somebody says, are in my control, but I don't believe that.

00:47:51.000 So, I don't know what you want me to answer.

00:47:53.000 So, anyway, here's what I love about this.

00:47:55.000 For one, obviously, these athletes are like, okay, at this point, what are you asking about?

00:48:00.000 We had that with, what was the name, Ivan Provorov, the Flyers, who was just like, look, I'll answer any question about sports, and then someone asked him about gay rights, and he's like, what did I just say?

00:48:11.000 So, here's the thing.

00:48:14.000 Dead internet theory.

00:48:15.000 We're talking about Twitter being dead, engagement is way down for whatever reason.

00:48:19.000 And I don't mean dead as in the platform's broken, I just mean like no one seems to be using it.

00:48:23.000 Now we've got dead internet theory, the idea that since like 2016 no one's really used the internet.

00:48:27.000 And now you have stories like this.

00:48:29.000 What you see from this Sports journalists have literally nothing to write about.

00:48:35.000 So, they go to, you know, what would you say, Malcolm, your principal career is?

00:48:40.000 Like, what's your main career?

00:48:44.000 Clinical research.

00:48:45.000 Clinical research.

00:48:45.000 So, I'm curious, when cooking eggs in the morning, do you agree with Chef Andrew Gruhl on adding vinegar afterwards and mixing it in?

00:48:56.000 Are there peer-reviewed studies on this?

00:48:58.000 See, I don't know what this question has to do with anything other than I can then go out and be like, you know, clinical researcher says no vinegar on eggs and it makes it sound like there is a scientific basis.

00:49:10.000 It makes a fake story and then they can go, I got a scoop!

00:49:13.000 A guy said a thing.

00:49:14.000 That's what the media is today for the most part.

00:49:18.000 Man, that is, that's scary.

00:49:20.000 Depressing?

00:49:21.000 People, because people still take it seriously.

00:49:23.000 That's the problem is that, you know, you were just saying it, you know, are people online like that?

00:49:28.000 Do people see this happening?

00:49:30.000 And you know, in real life, people still take journalists seriously.

00:49:34.000 That's what really freaks me out because, you know, they're getting Their information from these people who are basically like scraping the bottom of the barrel and saying, anybody got a scoop?

00:49:42.000 Who's got the scoop?

00:49:43.000 And they literally write nonsense to which people export to the real world.

00:49:43.000 Who's got the?

00:49:47.000 Yeah.

00:49:48.000 And this is what I always said was that, you know, back in the day, they always said Twitter's not real life.

00:49:53.000 I'm like, yeah, it's not real life, but it's got real life implications.

00:49:56.000 Like people literally use Twitter to source what they're going to take out to the other people and talk about around a water cooler or, you know, to write articles about.

00:50:04.000 Well, and like for this incident, like, First off, that athlete's Belarusian.

00:50:09.000 I just looked it up.

00:50:10.000 So are they trying to trap her into being representative?

00:50:14.000 And then also for this journalist, like, I'm so glad she's like, are you a politician?

00:50:17.000 She's like, I'm a sports journalist.

00:50:19.000 Like, is this sports journalist?

00:50:20.000 Like, here's my chance to get launched into the political on the political beat.

00:50:25.000 So I get more money or I can raise my profile because I had this good moment.

00:50:28.000 Like, it's just such a weird way to operate.

00:50:31.000 And especially since I know there are people who would love to cover sports journalism at this level, to go to the Australian Open and interview these people, because they love the sport, not because they are trying to make some political point to further their career.

00:50:45.000 Like, if you're gonna further your career on sports journalism, ask her about preparing for this match.

00:50:49.000 Ask her about something relevant.

00:50:51.000 Don't make her a poster child so you can sort of transition into the political beat for your publication.

00:50:59.000 I feel like the whole writing down what the guy said is kind of like 1994 journalism style.

00:51:05.000 You can just watch the video of what she said.

00:51:07.000 I don't need to hear someone write a story about what she said when I can listen to her say it.

00:51:10.000 Or I don't need to hear someone write down, she hit the ball three feet farther than the other girl who hit the ball. 0.99

00:51:16.000 I can watch the show.

00:51:17.000 I don't need that anymore.

00:51:18.000 I can watch it 24-7.

00:51:18.000 I have internet video.

00:51:19.000 It's on demand.

00:51:21.000 I gotta be honest, man.

00:51:24.000 People often ask, how do you do this job, watching all this stuff, reading all this stuff every day, and I'm like, you know, it does get really hard sometimes.

00:51:31.000 I mentioned that we were hanging out at the casino, because we like to go there now.

00:51:35.000 I started playing Hold'em last week, so I've played like five times now.

00:51:38.000 It's fun, I love that game.

00:51:39.000 Gotta learn how to play it, though.

00:51:41.000 That's funny.

00:51:42.000 Anyway, the dealer was like, I hate politics, I don't want to talk about it, it's too awful, and I'm like, I totally get that.

00:51:48.000 Because what this country is devolving into is, our politicians are corrupt, everybody knows it.

00:51:53.000 Congress is corrupt, everybody knows it.

00:51:56.000 Have you guys ever heard that song, Everybody Knows?

00:51:58.000 Who's the guy who sang that song?

00:52:01.000 Everybody Hurts is R.E.M.

00:52:02.000 I don't know everybody knows.

00:52:04.000 The people in the chat are gonna know what I'm talking about.

00:52:07.000 And it's that line, like, everybody knows the fight is fixed.

00:52:09.000 The poor stay poor.

00:52:10.000 Leonard Cohen?

00:52:10.000 Yeah, Leonard Cohen, there you go.

00:52:12.000 The poor stay poor, the rich get rich.

00:52:14.000 Everyone knows the dice were loaded.

00:52:14.000 That's just how it goes.

00:52:16.000 It was Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson wrote it together.

00:52:18.000 Everybody knows.

00:52:20.000 And it's been that way for... when was that song written?

00:52:23.000 1988?

00:52:23.000 Man, I was two years old when people were talking about how the system was completely broken.

00:52:23.000 Yeah.

00:52:23.000 1988.

00:52:29.000 And I grow up and it's only gotten worse.

00:52:31.000 Well, it seems like that.

00:52:33.000 It's become more apparent.

00:52:34.000 But I think that we have more control of citizens now than we used to.

00:52:37.000 I agree with that.

00:52:38.000 I agree there's an opportunity for success.

00:52:40.000 I agree there's an opportunity for the phoenix to rise from the ashes.

00:52:44.000 But I am not someone who just looks around and says, everything seems worse than it was when I was a kid.

00:52:48.000 I'm someone who decided to start asking older people.

00:52:51.000 And so whenever I go out in the past several months, past year or so, like the most recent thing, we went to the antique shop.

00:52:57.000 There's a guy and he's in his mid 60s.

00:52:58.000 And I said, have you ever seen it in your life this bad?

00:53:02.000 Never.

00:53:03.000 Never, in terms of the violence, in terms of the corruption, the tribalism, the bifurcation, all of these issues, the economy.

00:53:09.000 And I'm just like, look, I'm 36.

00:53:12.000 In about a month and a week, I'm going to be 37.

00:53:16.000 And I can tell you that in my life, it seems like things are way worse.

00:53:20.000 Even like the economic crisis.

00:53:21.000 Oh wait, to me?

00:53:22.000 Maybe I was just too young and I wasn't experiencing it.

00:53:25.000 Oh wait, it wasn't that bad.

00:53:25.000 No, it wasn't that bad.

00:53:27.000 Unless you had a lot of money in the markets.

00:53:28.000 Compared to where we are with like the lockdowns.

00:53:29.000 Nothing like it.

00:53:29.000 With the war.

00:53:30.000 Two years forced medication.

00:53:32.000 People not being able to leave their homes.

00:53:33.000 People dying.

00:53:34.000 And the World Economic Forum.

00:53:35.000 Talking about the Great Reset.

00:53:36.000 I mean this is like...

00:53:37.000 Dude, we literally just went from having people like become millionaires overnight for selling memes, meme stonks, basically.

00:53:45.000 And you know, and now, again, now we're sitting up here having the same people losing all that money and trying to reenter into the work.

00:53:53.000 Like it's bad.

00:53:54.000 Joe Biden gave, like, the authority of the American military to Vladimir Zelensky.

00:53:58.000 What the hell is going on?

00:53:59.000 As our president, in our lives, like, and you just hand it over carte blanche to this guy?

00:54:05.000 Yeah.

00:54:06.000 Or not literally, but, like, just so much money and tanks and, like, you do what you need to do to defend something that is inescapable, amorphous.

00:54:15.000 I want to talk, before we move on too far from this, I want to talk about consent, which was part of this original story.

00:54:19.000 I don't know if we will tap it off, but like part of what these people were like getting young kids to come on, and this is part of like social degradation and things like that, trying to get 12 year olds to consent.

00:54:28.000 I'm thinking genetic age and solar age are different.

00:54:31.000 You can have an 85-year-old body that's been around the sun 85 times, but because you heal your body so much, it looks like it's 40 years old.

00:54:38.000 It essentially is a 40-year-old body, but you've been 85 years.

00:54:42.000 Just because you've been on Earth 18 times around the sun doesn't mean that you're more or less genetically evolved.

00:54:50.000 we might have 12-year-olds that are more mature in 150 years than 25-year-olds are today.

00:54:56.000 We may end up becoming...

00:54:57.000 I don't know about that.

00:54:59.000 But prepare for that crazy argument to come out when they argue for grooming 12-year-olds and stuff.

00:55:05.000 That's literally what the guy said.

00:55:05.000 It's not the same.

00:55:07.000 That's what the pedo guy was saying.

00:55:08.000 Because it's based on logic, but it's not based on reason.

00:55:11.000 The other thing is, when you get someone to consent under duress, it's not a real form of consent.

00:55:16.000 If they don't understand what they're consenting to, they're not really consenting legally.

00:55:20.000 So a child... Well, it's capacity.

00:55:22.000 If they have no capacity to consent, then you legally cannot, you know, sign a contract with that person.

00:55:27.000 And if you have a gun to their head and say, say you like it.

00:55:29.000 I like it.

00:55:30.000 See, he said he like... No, you can't do that legally.

00:55:32.000 That's not a legal admission.

00:55:34.000 I'll tell you when it goes too far.

00:55:35.000 When we start doing informed consent forms for research studies, for pediatric studies, where kids no longer need a parent guardian, because up until the age of 18, pediatric studies, and this is, you know, agreed upon by everybody ever since the Declaration of Helensky and all of these other things, And the Belmont reports that kids have to have a guardian that has capacity to sign that.

00:55:59.000 So when they start, you know, conducting research studies and, you know, God forbid, you know, your kid gets enrolled in a study or something and they didn't have to have you sign it.

00:56:09.000 That's when you know you've gone too far.

00:56:11.000 Have you seen that?

00:56:12.000 No, no.

00:56:13.000 And you can't.

00:56:14.000 That's an ethical violation.

00:56:15.000 you can't conduct research that way.

00:56:17.000 But it is a good marker, I mean, at that point.

00:56:19.000 Yeah, that's when you know.

00:56:21.000 And I wonder if that'll be introduced more gradually.

00:56:23.000 You know, you have questionnaires your kids can fill out at school without,

00:56:26.000 they're anonymous, it doesn't matter, and then you slowly ramp it up.

00:56:29.000 I mean, I think the issue for me with all of this is like, why does your 12 year old

00:56:37.000 need to know about consent?

00:56:38.000 Like, are you teaching them about consent before you're teaching them about safety, right?

00:56:42.000 Like, they should know by 12 that it's inappropriate for adults to approach them and talk about these things, right?

00:56:48.000 They're saying the opposite.

00:56:49.000 They're saying- Exactly!

00:56:50.000 Like, it's weird that they're like, well, before anything, let's make sure you understand consent.

00:56:54.000 And they might guise it as safety, right?

00:56:56.000 When you're older, maybe you'll need to know this.

00:56:57.000 But like, really, it's prepping.

00:57:01.000 It's, I know we're not supposed to say this, but grooming.

00:57:04.000 If the kid thinks that they know and society is telling them that they know, then what do they know other than that they know?

00:57:09.000 Yeah, and like, what are kids famous for?

00:57:11.000 For being like, I know everything.

00:57:13.000 I know better than anyone ever at all time.

00:57:15.000 Because that's just part of growing up, right?

00:57:17.000 So if you're like, well, I've taught them about content and they say they know, and they're 12 or 13, like, it just creeps me out.

00:57:24.000 I don't know. 0.98

00:57:25.000 The only time that Kamala Harris has ever said something that was ever correct was that one video where she said, kids are just really dumb and they're going to do dumb things. 0.97

00:57:34.000 But then her party now wants them to vote and now wants them to affirm to medical treatments and, you know, uh, sexual relations. 0.98

00:57:42.000 So.

00:57:45.000 I don't know.

00:57:45.000 I want to talk about Mr. Beast and Hasan Piker, because we had this story the other day that we didn't get into.

00:57:51.000 Mr. Beast cured, I think it was 1,000 people's cataract blindness with surgery.

00:57:57.000 And Hasan Piker got a bunch of, what is this, 24.8 million views?

00:58:02.000 Are you kidding?

00:58:03.000 Holy crap, look at this. 0.90

00:58:04.000 That's on Hasan's one? 0.82

00:58:06.000 So this tweet got 24.8 million views.

00:58:08.000 The video was played 6.8 million times.

00:58:08.000 Wow.

00:58:12.000 And it says, Twitch streamer Hassan explained why he was filled with rage from watching Mr. Beast's newest video where he cures a thousand people's blindness.

00:58:20.000 So let's play this.

00:58:20.000 It's only 45 seconds long and I think this is an important point

00:58:24.000 You watch the video you go, oh how cute and how nice I watch the video and I'm filled with rage.

00:58:37.000 What's wrong with you?

00:58:38.000 That we shut off access to a 10 minute procedure because we paywalled it and decided that like some people just simply can't get it. 0.98

00:58:47.000 It is so insanely frustrating that it, like, it's up to, like, one YouTube guy to, like, decide to make content out of it that, like, the people who are too poor can't just fucking see. 0.97

00:58:59.000 That's insane. 0.77

00:59:01.000 Anyway, sorry.

00:59:02.000 It's just, like, a deeply, deeply frustrating concept.

00:59:05.000 He's 80% right.

00:59:07.000 We didn't cut off access to cataract surgery.

00:59:09.000 It just costs money.

00:59:11.000 And he is right, though, that it's up to some YouTube guy to make content out of it to give these people the surgery they need.

00:59:16.000 But you know what?

00:59:17.000 A lot of people were ragging on him, saying, like, he just discovered what charity is and things like that.

00:59:21.000 And I'm like, as long as we're giving $100 billion to Ukraine, I'm with this guy.

00:59:27.000 That $100 billion could be used to cure blindness of American citizens who are living in America in a country that is us, literally us.

00:59:37.000 So, well, I don't agree with him on, like, it's paywalled and we should just do it.

00:59:40.000 It's like, well, look, you gotta pay a guy to do it.

00:59:42.000 You know, you gotta cover his costs and everything.

00:59:45.000 You gotta incentivize him, you can't enslave him.

00:59:48.000 But how much money did we send to Ukraine?

00:59:50.000 $108 billion?

00:59:51.000 So, how much money did this cost?

00:59:54.000 $10,000 or $10 million?

00:59:57.000 If that, how much do you think it costs for this surgery to cure cataracts?

01:00:04.000 I think $10,000,000 is a good guess.

01:00:06.000 I'm checking it out now.

01:00:07.000 So we're talking $10,000,000?

01:00:08.000 Yeah, just $10,000,000.

01:00:10.000 Plus maybe a little bit more if he's housing them or flying them out or whatever.

01:00:14.000 Right, bringing them in.

01:00:15.000 But maybe it's not $10,000,000 for this surgery.

01:00:17.000 Maybe it's $4,000,000 or $5,000,000.

01:00:19.000 And I'm just sitting here thinking like, well, you know, I don't think we should just take people's buying power through taxation or through printing of money to then give someone else some kind of medical treatment.

01:00:28.000 So I probably disagree with Hassan on that one.

01:00:30.000 But look, if we're in a country that's sending all this money overseas for like gender studies programs, imagine if instead of Pakistani gender studies programs, we were like, we're gonna cure a bunch of people's blindness.

01:00:40.000 Reinvest.

01:00:41.000 So I gotta agree, it's kind of annoying that some YouTube got to make content out of it for these people to actually get the treatment they need.

01:00:47.000 Meanwhile, they don't fix our streets, they don't fix our bridges.

01:00:51.000 Here's what I'm saying.

01:00:52.000 I'm not necessarily saying that we should have taxation to fund this infrastructure or a new deal.

01:00:57.000 I'm saying, so long as they're taking all of our money, let's compromise and be like, spend it on us!

01:01:02.000 Fix our bridges, fix our roads, create jobs in construction that can restore our infrastructure, secure our borders, bring manufacturing plants back here. 1.00

01:01:11.000 Instead, it's war in Ukraine, a border country in which we are not on the border of, and then our people are blind and the YouTube guys gotta clip their eyes.

01:01:20.000 He also gave people 50 grand, a bunch of them.

01:01:23.000 And one guy, he gave a new Tesla because he had never been able to drive.

01:01:25.000 I saw the video.

01:01:26.000 You guys should watch it if you haven't seen it.

01:01:26.000 It's great.

01:01:28.000 And he's like, when I get my eyes fixed, I'm going to get a car and drive.

01:01:31.000 Like that was his dream.

01:01:32.000 And Jimmy, Mr. Beast, Jimmy Davidson, I think it's Jimmy Davidson.

01:01:35.000 Donaldson.

01:01:36.000 Donaldson, Jimmy Donaldson.

01:01:37.000 I mean, what a guy.

01:01:38.000 He bought a Tesla. 0.95

01:01:39.000 He's like, crazy.

01:01:40.000 And here's your Tesla.

01:01:41.000 Pop culture covered this today.

01:01:42.000 Pop culture crisis.

01:01:44.000 And they The sound thing or the?

01:01:46.000 The Mr. Beast covers this because a bunch of people on Twitter were like, well, he is the Antichrist.

01:01:51.000 Like, who is he to cure blindness?

01:01:55.000 Like, what?

01:01:56.000 Like, give this guy a break.

01:01:57.000 Like, I understand the objection that he has.

01:01:59.000 And I totally agree with you.

01:02:00.000 Like, if we're spending billions of dollars on Ukraine, it's hard not to be an American citizen and be like, we have problems that if you were going to spend this money, you should spend it domestically.

01:02:09.000 But I also think we shouldn't at all make this Mr. B's fault, right?

01:02:16.000 He tried to do a nice thing.

01:02:17.000 He has a lot of money and he's trying to help people.

01:02:20.000 Don't frame it as Jimmy cured their blindness.

01:02:23.000 The people cured their own blindness with the help of medical technology that Jimmy sponsored.

01:02:27.000 That's the story.

01:02:29.000 He wasn't like Jesus' hands on people, which he probably could have done.

01:02:32.000 And he made a ton of money because of it.

01:02:33.000 Yeah, oh yeah, the revenue on that is probably insane.

01:02:37.000 And just the PR is priceless.

01:02:39.000 That's the thing nobody, you know, nobody ever thinks about is the PR in charity is amazing.

01:02:45.000 And you know, there's no there's no better return on investment when it comes to advertising.

01:02:50.000 Well, I was talking about this earlier.

01:02:53.000 Imagine if big corporations did things like this for marketing.

01:02:58.000 Their whole thing was, we got a $50 million marketing budget this month.

01:03:01.000 I know, let's do the most good possible because it'll generate attention.

01:03:04.000 Imagine if Pepsi was like, I know how to get the best, most viral, look at this.

01:03:08.000 Remember that commercial they did with that Jenner lady and she walks up to the cop and hands him a Pepsi?

01:03:13.000 Think about how much money they spent on that and how it was just like, Total flop.

01:03:16.000 Bad.

01:03:17.000 Bad times.

01:03:18.000 Honestly, maybe not a flop.

01:03:20.000 We remember it, don't we?

01:03:21.000 Yeah, I guess you're right.

01:03:22.000 So maybe they were like, hey, it was a success, but they spend a lot of money on commercials

01:03:24.000 that don't do anything.

01:03:25.000 I'll tell you this right now, Pepsi, Coke, you want, look at what Mr. Beast did.

01:03:31.000 Take your marketing budget for the month and then just like get a bunch of homeless people

01:03:35.000 a good meal, cleaned up, help them find jobs, help them clean up their lives, and then you're

01:03:42.000 going to get 50 million views.

01:03:44.000 You're gonna get 100 million views.

01:03:46.000 Let me tell you what would piss you guys off the most.

01:03:49.000 is how much big pharma agencies probably get paid to make those generic commercials where it's just like b-roll of people just doing like basic things like people skipping through people skipping through a meadow people going to a bar and they literally make commercials for drugs like you see it every single drug commercial just has like people on random things like people on a cruise ship or and it's like scooters like going downhill And they spend millions, they spend millions on those ads just throwing it down the drain.

01:04:18.000 And it's just like, you sort of think about how much money is wasted and how that could actually be used to pay it forward like this.

01:04:25.000 Well, and I think about like the Ronald McDonald House, that was McDonald's big initiative to like give people a place to stay when your kids in the hospital.

01:04:32.000 And like Wendy's has the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

01:04:34.000 Like there are businesses that have philanthropic efforts, but, and I'm not saying those two are perfect examples of this, but like Often it's like, look at this thing that we're doing, as opposed to just doing the thing, right?

01:04:47.000 Like, yes, Mr. Beast made a video of this.

01:04:50.000 Yes, he made money.

01:04:50.000 On the other hand, like, I don't really follow his content, but like, from what I know, this is sort of something he does.

01:04:56.000 He regularly tries to help people out.

01:04:59.000 Like, if you had a pharmaceutical company that just did a nice thing instead of staging a photo op, like, I guess I just don't trust them not to sort of Cheap in the effect, right?

01:05:09.000 And, you know, counterpoint to what you guys are saying, you know, how about, you know, we invest in, you know, doing these things, you know, if you start making a big deal about, you know, like giving away medical treatments and stuff, and you're a company that does that medical treatment, which, you know, logically, that's what you'd be equipped to give away.

01:05:09.000 It's about money.

01:05:27.000 Who's gonna buy your product anymore because they can just wait for you to give it for free.

01:05:31.000 Like this is what happened in Africa when we started, you know, doing all the food drops, you know, agriculture stopped because again, everybody was sort of subsisting off of a lot of food drops.

01:05:40.000 And so we sort of crippled them and that's just human nature.

01:05:43.000 So to a degree, I can see it, but I can also see, you know, when you start, like, de-incentivizing the profit motive, companies don't invest in, you know, researching these treatments to come up with new ones.

01:05:54.000 You know, we can give Pfizer all the crap we want about what they're doing, but at the same time, again, if one drug And I know this is going to sound terrible, but you know, if them making that money allows them to fund one drug that can save somebody from a terminal rare disease, you know, it's kind of like, well, you know, it's evil, but you know, I kind of see it.

01:06:18.000 But you want the other drug?

01:06:19.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:06:19.000 Yeah, that's hard.

01:06:20.000 I mean, it reminds me of, like, um, do you remember Tom's Shoes?

01:06:24.000 The, like... Oh, yeah, they did.

01:06:26.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:06:26.000 The economy in those regions.

01:06:28.000 Yeah, but their whole thing was like, if you buy a pair of shoes from us, like, you're spending money, but we're giving shoes away, right?

01:06:34.000 So, like, theoretically, this sounds good, but there are, of course, consequences.

01:06:38.000 They destroyed the economy in a bunch of African towns, because the cobblers all went out of work and couldn't buy anything. 1.00

01:06:44.000 Everybody had free shoes, but it was, you know, the guy who gets the leather goes to the cobbler, the cobbler then makes the shoes, and then buys the leather.

01:06:53.000 All of a sudden, no one's buying leather anymore.

01:06:55.000 All of a sudden, the guy who makes the shoes can't make money.

01:06:58.000 Now, because he can't make money, he's not buying the leather.

01:06:59.000 The guy who gets the leather can't make money, he can't buy food, neither can buy food.

01:07:02.000 Now the farmer is like, I don't have any money to get the tools I need to make food, and the economy just collapsed.

01:07:07.000 No, I'm saying like, you know, look, people who are blind need surgery. 1.00

01:07:09.000 for each other, making the machine work.

01:07:11.000 And then some rich people came in and dumped a bunch of shoes on them.

01:07:14.000 No, I'm saying like, you know, look, people who are blind need surgery. 1.00

01:07:18.000 I mean, that's just giving jobs to doctors, I guess.

01:07:21.000 Jimmy actually pointed out, is this not even like a great thing for capitalism in general

01:07:25.000 to put, you know, people that were before, you know, broken or hurt back into the workforce

01:07:31.000 They're healed, they're healthy, they're ready to work.

01:07:33.000 So that's a good thing for capitalism as well.

01:07:34.000 Though what he was doing technically, I don't know if you'd say it was a capitalist thing or not.

01:07:39.000 It's irrelevant.

01:07:40.000 I think it's charitable, right?

01:07:41.000 Form of charity for sure.

01:07:42.000 But he's made a ton of money off it with his YouTube ads.

01:07:45.000 And he's doing it for money.

01:07:46.000 I mean, he's doing it because he loves people.

01:07:48.000 That's the real reason, but he knows that he can make money off of charity.

01:07:51.000 He started with his mom when he paid off her retirement.

01:07:53.000 That video went crazy.

01:07:54.000 He's talking to her and he's like, get this.

01:07:56.000 This will be a good screenshot for the video, Mom.

01:07:58.000 And then she's like, oh my God, Jimmy!

01:08:00.000 And he's like, thumbs up.

01:08:01.000 But is that wrong?

01:08:02.000 If you are doing something good, but you make money off it, you benefit.

01:08:05.000 Especially when you see, I mean, he is an example of how great something like that can become.

01:08:10.000 He's like Oprah.

01:08:11.000 Yeah.

01:08:12.000 Does he give much stuff away?

01:08:13.000 And he owns his own everything.

01:08:14.000 Does she still do that? 1.00

01:08:16.000 Cause she's retired now. 1.00

01:08:18.000 She does her one dramatic interview a year.

01:08:21.000 But I'm pretty sure it was like the companies would sponsor giving that stuff away.

01:08:23.000 It's not like she was giving it away.

01:08:25.000 That's the thing about him.

01:08:26.000 He makes the money and he gives it away.

01:08:28.000 He said he's going to give all his money away before he dies.

01:08:30.000 All of it.

01:08:31.000 I think that's a bad idea.

01:08:34.000 Help him to keep it?

01:08:35.000 So I've thought about this.

01:08:38.000 You know, like, where do you invest and what charities do you support?

01:08:40.000 And that's why we're working on the Truth in Media one.

01:08:44.000 Because the issue is, I see these stories like Bezos' wife, Mackenzie Bezos, gives all that money to Wokeness.

01:08:50.000 So these people are like, I'm gonna do good.

01:08:51.000 I'm gonna give my money to Black Lives Matter. 0.90

01:08:53.000 And then you're like, buying people mansions, not really solving the problem.

01:08:56.000 And I've had experience with these non-profits, so I just don't trust them.

01:08:59.000 And a lot of people are like, I'm going to give my money away, and I'm like, you're going to flush down the toilet.

01:09:03.000 It's like Sam Bankman Freed and his effect of altruism.

01:09:07.000 And he's talking about, oh, how can I give the most causes that cause the most good?

01:09:12.000 And then he just donates to the Democratic Party because he believes that the Democrats cause the most good.

01:09:17.000 He donated people's money.

01:09:19.000 Other people's money.

01:09:21.000 That's the distinction.

01:09:21.000 There we go.

01:09:23.000 So again, somebody would say, oh, that's like Robin Hood.

01:09:26.000 But then, you know, it's reverse Robin Hood.

01:09:28.000 He's still chaotic, evil.

01:09:30.000 You know, we got Robin Hood.

01:09:31.000 We got we got to talk about this.

01:09:32.000 We got to talk about these two stories, because we were talking earlier about cultural decay and societal decay.

01:09:37.000 We were talking about how it was Jack Posobiec.

01:09:41.000 His neighborhood was falling apart.

01:09:42.000 He's never going to he hasn't brought his kids back to see his childhood home.

01:09:46.000 Welcome to MILF Manor, the most repulsive, exploitative, sordid, hate-to-hate show of all time, where blindfolded moms rub down shirtless sons and TV finally hits rock bottom. 1.00

01:09:56.000 This is, uh, MILF... MILF Manor, where moms go and get a bunch of sons and they rub them. 0.79

01:10:03.000 This is a 30 Rock joke.

01:10:05.000 On 30 Rock, they made MILF Island.

01:10:08.000 And they're actually doing the show right now.

01:10:10.000 And then I want to give a special shout out to Dana White for Power Slap. 1.00

01:10:14.000 Power Slap set to have its pay-per-view debut in March with the league's success.

01:10:19.000 This is the show where people slap each other in the face.

01:10:22.000 I take turns to do it.

01:10:24.000 And it's like, you gotta not get knocked down and get back up or something. 0.98

01:10:28.000 This is literally on my balls. 0.96

01:10:30.000 Have you guys seen Idiocracy? 0.99

01:10:32.000 No reclipse.

01:10:33.000 In Idiocracy, it's Luke Wilson, it's a research experiment for hibernation, they forget about him, it's funny, it's Mike Judge, and then he wakes up 500 years in the future, he goes to some guy's house, and then, is there something, is there audio playing?

01:10:46.000 Oh, there is.

01:10:46.000 And then, yeah, they're cheering for the slap fight.

01:10:50.000 And then he's watching a show called Ow, My Balls, and it's literally a guy who's just like, he falls on a fence, goes, ow, my balls! 0.99

01:10:56.000 And then like someone throws a football and goes, Oh, ow, my balls! 0.98

01:11:00.000 And that's the whole show, and then the guy's watching going like... This is that. 0.95

01:11:04.000 I'm sorry, dude. 0.96

01:11:06.000 Jackass without the stunts? 0.98

01:11:07.000 Pretty much. 1.00

01:11:08.000 On my balls. 0.98

01:11:09.000 You see the clips from this where people just, they go and they have seizures? 0.98

01:11:12.000 Dude, we gotta play at least one.

01:11:14.000 The one where the guy's face is huge on the left side.

01:11:18.000 This one?

01:11:18.000 This guy.

01:11:19.000 So what they're doing is they're standing with their arms behind their back about two feet away from each other across a table and they are not allowed to guard or defend.

01:11:25.000 That's the thing about boxing that's legit is you can defend yourself.

01:11:28.000 You can't defend yourself in the sport.

01:11:30.000 And then they just take CTE.

01:11:31.000 They take palm bone to the face over and over until they fall down and go unconscious.

01:11:37.000 Look at this guy's face, man.

01:11:38.000 Like, this guy's taken multiple shots to the side of the head.

01:11:40.000 That's why his head looks like this.

01:11:43.000 Apparently it's a sport in Eastern Europe or something like that.

01:11:47.000 I don't know where it originated, no idea.

01:11:48.000 But they don't step into it.

01:11:50.000 They just stand and slap like this.

01:11:52.000 And in this, they take a full step and can turn their whole body and get their whole weight behind it.

01:11:56.000 And it's so much more force.

01:11:58.000 They not have the video sometimes like you can move and they can use palm

01:12:01.000 strikes. Yes. And that's, like I said, it just, it takes the sport of slapping another person. Yeah. It's

01:12:07.000 not a sport.

01:12:07.000 And then it just, it just makes it knockouts. The palm, those knockouts,

01:12:11.000 the bone on the palm coming behind the jaw and like pull it forward.

01:12:15.000 And some of the strikes I, it is, it is like, I hope, well I'm afraid that someone's going to get killed and then

01:12:21.000 it's going to be Dana's just laughing about it. 0.96

01:12:24.000 I don't know.

01:12:24.000 I haven't talked to Dana about it.

01:12:25.000 How do you win?

01:12:27.000 They go back and forth and they hit each other until someone can't stand anymore or has a seizure?

01:12:31.000 Until someone either bows out or gets knocked unconscious.

01:12:35.000 With UFC, there's weight classes, right?

01:12:37.000 Do you pair people up based on size or is it random?

01:12:40.000 No idea, but I don't think so.

01:12:41.000 There's a women's division.

01:12:43.000 I haven't seen a guy and a woman, a man and a woman yet.

01:12:47.000 Power slap on YouTube.

01:12:49.000 Do they actually show?

01:12:51.000 Yeah, I'm sure they will.

01:12:53.000 Here, right in the beginning.

01:12:53.000 And they're like highlighting these gruesome knockouts.

01:12:56.000 He is buzzing.

01:12:57.000 Welcome to Power Slap from the fight capital of the world, Las Vegas, Nevada.

01:13:03.000 It's not really a fight, but...

01:13:05.000 This sport that we're about to be in, it will be up there with boxing.

01:13:08.000 It'll be up there with karate.

01:13:09.000 No, it won't. This is so dumb. 1.00

01:13:11.000 And I'll be able to be a pioneer within this sport. 0.99

01:13:15.000 I've been through a lot in my life.

01:13:17.000 Growing up on the streets, so I deal with everything.

01:13:21.000 There ain't gonna be no chance of me quitting.

01:13:24.000 I was brought up in a quite rough area, so yeah, I've had to look after myself a few times.

01:13:30.000 I think that'll help in the competition.

01:13:33.000 I just grew up tough.

01:13:34.000 We had nothing.

01:13:35.000 You know, so I want some of you things to have something, to come feel all this rage and all this pain in this hand, because I will put it in their face. 0.95

01:13:44.000 I came out here to do one job, and one job only, and that's to put on a f***ing show. 0.77

01:13:49.000 I don't feel like any human could sustain an unconstructed shot on me. 0.96

01:13:54.000 I hurt people, that's what I do. 0.96

01:13:56.000 Nobody f***ing touch me. 0.65

01:13:57.000 I'm untouchable, baby. 0.97

01:13:59.000 You gon' remember my name!

01:14:02.000 This is where we're gonna separate the men from the boys. 0.95

01:14:04.000 The hardest hitters, a lot of trash talking, a lot of energy from start to finish. 0.68

01:14:11.000 I don't care who you are.

01:14:11.000 I gotta say, I'm a huge fan of Dana White, the UFC, I love it all.

01:14:14.000 This show just is really confusing.

01:14:18.000 I think he's got the song.

01:14:19.000 I feel like... Okay, he's totally wound up.

01:14:23.000 Yeah, see, it's just knockout porn, dude. 0.99

01:14:26.000 Yeah, knockout porn. 1.00

01:14:27.000 That's all it is. 0.97

01:14:28.000 Yeah, that's my way of describing it.

01:14:29.000 Doctors come in, they're like, this guy's gonna have a CTE, this guy's gonna have a trauma.

01:14:32.000 Hey, now, we are doing this for free on WorldStarHipHop.

01:14:35.000 Yeah, I know, it's free.

01:14:36.000 Wait a minute.

01:14:37.000 How is, what, I don't get it, what is this?

01:14:40.000 It's, it's a, it's a bastardization of something that is already popular, that Dana Weiss... Yeah, I was gonna say, all of this reminds me of UFC.

01:14:46.000 Yeah.

01:14:47.000 Just, except for the actual contact.

01:14:49.000 Oh, that's when they get that, the, the palm bone across the cheek jaw is like the work.

01:14:56.000 Critical hits.

01:14:56.000 Yeah, but look, like, in, in UFC and MMA, people, they fight, they block, they defend, they make mistakes.

01:15:03.000 It's like, it's like a... It's a sport.

01:15:06.000 It's a chess, it's a combat.

01:15:07.000 It's a strategy, yeah, it's really interesting. 0.96

01:15:08.000 This is, stand still, I'm gonna try and hit you as hard as I can, and you're gonna get hit. 0.69

01:15:12.000 Someone tweeted out, what is it next, like, see who can survive a stabbing the best? 0.88

01:15:18.000 If you ever watch the show How I Met Your Mother, they had like a slap bet, right?

01:15:21.000 And like, if you lose the bet, you, like, one character gets to hit the other one as hard as he can, like, whenever.

01:15:26.000 And it's like that cross UFC.

01:15:29.000 Like, I don't, I don't understand why this would be fun.

01:15:32.000 Also, like, are they going to try to do, like, the wrestling thing where they're like, oh, well, these two have a rivalry because he hit him really hard in the face.

01:15:39.000 Like, I got it.

01:15:40.000 It's just weird.

01:15:41.000 You guys ever played doorknob?

01:15:43.000 Someone farts and then you punch them in the shoulder or something?

01:15:45.000 Until they touch a doorknob?

01:15:47.000 Exactly.

01:15:47.000 You yell doorknob and then you're allowed to hit them in the arm until they touch the doorknob or they fart and say safety and you can't call doorknob.

01:15:54.000 That's the game.

01:15:55.000 We get a bunch of guys in a ring and they're all standing around and then everyone's got to eat a can of beans an hour before the event and then you're standing there and then as soon as someone hears it everyone yells doorknob and then you'll hear the guy yell safety and then like the timer will call and be like It's good!

01:16:12.000 It's good!

01:16:12.000 running and start wailing on the guy trying to get to the doorknob.

01:16:15.000 But the doorknob's on a string and it's swinging back and forth.

01:16:17.000 And like occasionally disappears.

01:16:19.000 It's a jog.

01:16:20.000 It's swinging around.

01:16:21.000 Or he's got to open, or somebody pulls a card and like the doorknob's in a box, you got

01:16:25.000 to open boxes as quick as you can to try to find it.

01:16:27.000 What's the key, what's the key, what's the key?

01:16:30.000 Combat doorknob.

01:16:31.000 That would be more artful than this.

01:16:34.000 Honestly, there's got to be some kind of skill component.

01:16:37.000 It can't just be who can get the critical hit.

01:16:41.000 Also, how do you train for this?

01:16:42.000 Who goes first?

01:16:43.000 Do you train to fall down or do you train to slap?

01:16:46.000 Do you guys remember in South Park when Cartman would be like, let's Rochambeau for it? 1.00

01:16:51.000 First, I kick you in the balls. 0.99

01:16:51.000 I was like, what is that? 0.99

01:16:53.000 Then you kick me in the balls. 0.99

01:16:54.000 And whoever's still standing wins. 0.99

01:16:56.000 Yeah, who goes first?

01:16:57.000 And then he goes, I'll go first.

01:16:59.000 And then he kicks him in.

01:17:00.000 So if you're training in power slap, I would imagine your training, your sparring partner, they call it sparring, isn't going to try and break your face because you're going in to perform pretty soon.

01:17:09.000 So there might, I can't imagine that they're going as full force.

01:17:12.000 So how can you possibly prepare for something?

01:17:13.000 I don't know because in Muay Thai we have hard sparring too and you know some it depends like

01:17:18.000 you know if you're a light spar maybe you're just focused on like the technical maybe it's just the

01:17:21.000 fingers just tip but maybe if you're hard sparring you know you like giving some full palm action you

01:17:26.000 know you like to get real deep in there on the I don't know man this is this is what we're reduced

01:17:33.000 We're having philosophical conversations.

01:17:36.000 American Gladiators was like... Agility.

01:17:40.000 Who was that?

01:17:41.000 Bill Hicks?

01:17:42.000 He ragged on American Gladiators.

01:17:43.000 He's like, here's 68 channels of it or whatever.

01:17:46.000 It's like, we made fun of it, but that, they had padding, and they had those big Q-tip things, and they were trying to knock each other in the foam pit.

01:17:54.000 At least that was fun and silly and no one really got hurt.

01:17:57.000 American Ninja Warrior?

01:17:58.000 I love American Ninja Warrior.

01:17:59.000 That's great.

01:18:00.000 It's fascinating.

01:18:01.000 You know what I don't like about American Ninja Warrior?

01:18:03.000 What?

01:18:03.000 It's not fair to women.

01:18:05.000 Oh yeah, the upper body strength requirements.

01:18:06.000 It's not that.

01:18:07.000 It's the, what is it called, the spider walk or whatever?

01:18:11.000 It's two walls, and you have to jump into it and put your hands... If you're tall with a large arm span, no problem.

01:18:20.000 But there are women who are really good, really fit, with great upper body strength, and their hands just don't reach. 1.00

01:18:25.000 And I'm like, how are they supposed to do it?

01:18:26.000 Their hands don't reach. 1.00

01:18:27.000 That's dumb. 0.88

01:18:27.000 But this gives them a chance to have it to be innovative and like figure out how to get through it and then the first one that does it we're like wow she was so sideways yeah sideways put her back like I don't care I feel like yeah that's true and it's it's fair to acknowledge it but like it's a chance for her to really overcome true adversity. 0.88

01:18:44.000 I shouldn't say unfair to women, it's unfair to people with smaller stature or shorter arms, but it tends to be the women. 1.00

01:18:49.000 Because I'm watching, I watched one where the woman, her fingers touched the edge and just falls and it's like she tried, like her arms aren't longer.

01:18:55.000 Well and like what are they supposed to do if they like readjust the wall so they're closer, it's like slightly unfair to all the other competitors.

01:19:00.000 Like that's what I liked about American Ninja Warriors, they just sent anyone down that thing and like it doesn't matter who you are and like some people struggle on some things, other people struggle on other parts of the course.

01:19:09.000 Like it's fascinating to watch because it just depends on I don't know.

01:19:14.000 Maybe we should make the doorknob show.

01:19:15.000 Please don't.

01:19:16.000 Cast Castle special.

01:19:17.000 Kofi Jami.

01:19:18.000 Doorknob!

01:19:19.000 The Cast Castle guys are outside like, yeah, we got it, man.

01:19:21.000 And then like the two O's and the word door eyeballs, like looking in.

01:19:25.000 No, it's got to be like one-on-one.

01:19:25.000 Doorknob.

01:19:27.000 And it's like two guys go into a ring one hour after eating a can of Bush's baked beans.

01:19:32.000 They're a main sponsor.

01:19:32.000 And then there's like, they're waiting and they have like boxing gloves.

01:19:35.000 Yeah.

01:19:35.000 But you can't strike the opponent until they fart and you call doorknob.

01:19:38.000 Or, but if they call safety, you can't.

01:19:40.000 And then, you know, that'd be great.

01:19:43.000 That's where we're headed.

01:19:44.000 I'm waiting on this.

01:19:45.000 This is actually going to be gold.

01:19:47.000 This is the next big thing.

01:19:48.000 People are going to be hanging out at bars and be like, you want to put on doorknob?

01:19:50.000 I used to play that when I was a kid.

01:19:53.000 I'm having a hard time saying this, but I want to talk about Milf Island.

01:19:59.000 It's Milf Manor.

01:20:01.000 Back to true culture.

01:20:02.000 Back to what I understand.

01:20:04.000 Milk Manor is weird.

01:20:05.000 What is it?

01:20:06.000 Okay, I have just read very little about it, but like, it's a bunch of women who you might consider cougars, like their moms, all of them have to be, and they go to, I assume you would consider them a cougar, I'm not an expert, you go to like, they were filming in Mexico, but one of the requirements is that they bring one of their single sons. 0.99

01:20:25.000 So like, their son is living with all these guys, they're sort of weirdly group dating, because as a culture we've decided that's something we're into.

01:20:32.000 And like, therefore, like, I saw one clip of it and this one mom is like, careful ladies, I might sleep with your son! 1.00

01:20:39.000 Like, I just don't like it!

01:20:41.000 It's so creepy!

01:20:44.000 So like if if your mom is single and you have a brother who's also single they could go on this show but your brother will be living with all these guys who are kind of trying to sleep with your mom.

01:20:54.000 Bro like imagine imagine that you're going to school and you find out that your mom is on this show and like you're getting roasted in the class you're getting roasted in the class and you you have like one good clap back and they say but your mom was on milfiling Like, what do you say about that?

01:21:08.000 Like, what do you say back to that?

01:21:09.000 Nothing, you just hang around in shame and then go to a different school.

01:21:11.000 Or I'm gonna be like, my mom ran mill filing.

01:21:16.000 I feel like you would be like, go mom, I'm proud of you.

01:21:19.000 At this stage of my life, yeah.

01:21:20.000 Or like, in all seriousness, you're gonna be like, yeah, well, at least she won.

01:21:24.000 How do you win Mel's Island?

01:21:25.000 What is winning this show?

01:21:27.000 You get voted off the island or something?

01:21:28.000 It's different for everybody.

01:21:30.000 I can't believe this.

01:21:31.000 So what, they each bring a son and then they pass their sons around to other ladies? 1.00

01:21:36.000 I've never seen a full episode, but like, What were those things called where the swinger parties, they put all their keys in a bowl?

01:21:43.000 Yeah, white parties.

01:21:44.000 I think that's what those are called.

01:21:45.000 White parties. 0.73

01:21:46.000 You put all your keys in a bowl and then they mix them together and when you're leaving you grab it.

01:21:49.000 White parties might be coke parties. 1.00

01:21:51.000 Yeah, probably that.

01:21:52.000 Yeah, I almost went to one of those swinger parties. 1.00

01:21:54.000 I almost went to one with this girl in LA and I just... I never did.

01:21:57.000 It's kind of weird.

01:21:58.000 I went a little crazy.

01:21:59.000 It just seems weird to me.

01:22:00.000 Swingers.

01:22:01.000 This one seems particularly weird because like, what conversations are you guys having where it's like, Come on, John.

01:22:07.000 Please come on the show.

01:22:08.000 Mommy really needs to meet a younger man. 1.00

01:22:10.000 It's probably from the people from the porn generation that saw porn when they were kids. 0.94

01:22:14.000 They were raised when they were 11 and 12, watched MILF porn. 0.94

01:22:17.000 Probably the producers of the show watched MILF porn when they were younger. 0.87

01:22:20.000 I want to be in that boardroom.

01:22:21.000 I want to figure out what those people were on, man.

01:22:24.000 Because they were on the good good.

01:22:26.000 Let's let's let's let's just switch something a little bit more wholesome.

01:22:28.000 Have you guys seen professional tag?

01:22:30.000 Yeah, that's fun.

01:22:31.000 It's like an obstacle course and like one guy's got to get away from the other guy and he's running around and you know, that's fun.

01:22:36.000 They're like jumping through obstacles and swinging through bars and the guy's just trying to touch him.

01:22:39.000 That's fun.

01:22:41.000 Yeah.

01:22:42.000 We got we got a professional Red Rover or something.

01:22:44.000 That would be so cool.

01:22:45.000 I don't know how you got to have like the 10 cats variety like game show where like every time you just come up with like a new game show every week.

01:22:52.000 We could totally do that at the new studio, because you have that big building.

01:22:56.000 I was thinking of a game called Do You Want to Live?

01:22:56.000 Oh, true.

01:22:58.000 I don't even want to talk about this on YouTube.

01:23:01.000 It's a skit, so I don't know if it's going to play for TV, but we could do it behind the scenes, you know?

01:23:05.000 Do You Want to Live?

01:23:06.000 And it's a joke about the Canadian assisted suicide stuff, where people come in, they're suicidal.

01:23:10.000 You're like, well, and then you get them all inspired.

01:23:13.000 But then the skit would be like, at the end of the show, the family comes in, they're like, thank you so much, I love my life.

01:23:18.000 And then they're like, yeah, I thought about it, but I still want to kill myself.

01:23:20.000 I'm going through with it. 0.91

01:23:22.000 My God, it's so dark!

01:23:23.000 No, no, yeah, what you do is, so, um, I watched this thing, it said that every person who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and survived... Yeah, regretted it.

01:23:31.000 ...said that they, yeah, they regretted it.

01:23:33.000 They realized that... And then as soon as they jumped, the first thing they thought was that all of life's problems could be solved, except having just jumped off this bridge.

01:23:40.000 So that means people who didn't make it were in regret.

01:23:43.000 So you take people who are looking for a maid, and then you make life flash before their eyes, in a manner of speaking, and then they're all of a sudden like, I love life!

01:23:52.000 It's like in Fight Club.

01:23:52.000 You know?

01:23:53.000 Remember in Fight Club when Tyler Durden holds up the liquor store guy?

01:23:58.000 Oh yeah.

01:23:59.000 And he's like, Raymond K. Hassle, what did you want to be?

01:24:02.000 And he's like, a veterinarian!

01:24:04.000 And he's like, and why aren't you?

01:24:05.000 And then he says something really awful that I'm not going to repeat because we're on a family-friendly show.

01:24:05.000 It's too hard!

01:24:11.000 And then he's like, I know where you live.

01:24:13.000 If you're not on your way to becoming a vet, I will come to your house or whatever.

01:24:16.000 And then he runs.

01:24:17.000 And then Edward Norton's like, why would you do that?

01:24:18.000 What's the point?

01:24:19.000 And he's like, tomorrow, Raymond Castle's breakfast will be the most delicious meal he's ever tasted.

01:24:26.000 Can I go back to Milk Manor for a second?

01:24:27.000 Sorry.

01:24:29.000 Family friendly!

01:24:30.000 Something just crossed my mind.

01:24:32.000 They couldn't make this show in reverse.

01:24:33.000 It couldn't be like DILF, like Dad's Island, right?

01:24:37.000 You're a single dad, but you have a single daughter and you guys come to the island and then date each other.

01:24:42.000 What if they identify as MILF though?

01:24:45.000 Then it's okay.

01:24:46.000 But you know what I'm saying?

01:24:48.000 If it was dads and daughters, everyone would be creeped out.

01:24:51.000 It would be so weird.

01:24:52.000 The dads would get angry with each other.

01:24:53.000 Hopefully.

01:24:53.000 You gotta give it 10 years.

01:24:54.000 Open up this police!

01:24:57.000 I just don't understand!

01:24:57.000 It probably wouldn't do well if it was called, like, Young Studs, too.

01:25:00.000 If it was focused on the young guys that were gonna get laid with the older women, that might not play as heartily as, like, we're doing this for the ladies.

01:25:06.000 Like, this is all about strengthening women in our society. 0.92

01:25:09.000 Yeah.

01:25:10.000 I just don't like this at all.

01:25:12.000 That's weird.

01:25:13.000 The gamification of porn, man.

01:25:15.000 Yeah, that's a good way of putting it.

01:25:16.000 I just feel like if it's creepy if you made it adult men and younger girls, you should also see it as creepy if it's older women and younger men.

01:25:22.000 Isn't that just Epstein's Island at that point?

01:25:26.000 I don't know.

01:25:27.000 I was talking about how we're gonna do a morning show that's news.

01:25:32.000 Kind of like The View, but with sane women, because we've got women who work here, moms, and then other people who have asked, like, is there some way there can be a show that's like moms talking about issues that matter to them in politics and culture, because The View certainly ain't in it.

01:25:49.000 And then I was like, we could totally do it.

01:25:50.000 We've got a bunch of people that come in and out of the show who are friends of ours, that are guests, that are moms, that talk politics, that are sane, moderate, totally conservative or libertarian, even a little liberal.

01:26:02.000 Sounds good.

01:26:03.000 Someone just super chatted.

01:26:04.000 Scrubby McScrubberson says, please name the morning mom news show MILFCAST IRL.

01:26:10.000 We won't, but I appreciate the super chat, because that was a good one.

01:26:14.000 That was a good one.

01:26:14.000 I actually am really excited for the new space, and they're hard at work on it.

01:26:17.000 But we can totally do fun little game show things.

01:26:21.000 I'm down for that.

01:26:22.000 We should totally do it with Cast Castle.

01:26:24.000 Have, like, weird contests.

01:26:26.000 Yeah, Hole in the Wall.

01:26:27.000 I was a huge fan of that game show.

01:26:29.000 Yeah, that's a good one.

01:26:29.000 That's so cool.

01:26:30.000 They'd be standing on, like, a moving platform, and the wall would be moving towards them, but there would be, like, a cutout on the wall of a body.

01:26:36.000 Yeah, they have to make the same position and like stand in the right spot or they get pushed off the platform

01:26:41.000 And it's so funny. They're like turn at the last minute They're like because they realize like three feet off and

01:26:46.000 they're trying to modulate and yeah We should think of weird stuff we can do like that's that's

01:26:50.000 not vulgar and just disturbing like MXC. Yeah No, I mean that you know, we could do like MXC like like

01:26:58.000 Red Rover contest or something You can't really do a Red Rover cause it's not really a game.

01:27:02.000 We closed on the dude hard in that game once.

01:27:05.000 It was Tom.

01:27:05.000 I don't remember his last name.

01:27:07.000 We could do like a pro freeze tag.

01:27:09.000 It was for 35 years ago, but you're okay.

01:27:11.000 Oh yeah.

01:27:12.000 Pro freeze tag.

01:27:12.000 That'd be so fun.

01:27:14.000 I think part of like entertaining stuff is like, I think so many people who make entertainment right now are like, it has to either be sexual or it has to be super violent.

01:27:24.000 And actually, like, what's entertaining is seeing people, like, try hard, you know what I mean?

01:27:28.000 Like, with American Ninja Warrior, like, pro freeze tag, like, people are trying to accomplish something.

01:27:34.000 And, like, we like that.

01:27:35.000 We root for people who are trying to, like, achieve.

01:27:39.000 Somebody super chatted saying, DILF, this is Heron Gaming, saying, DILF Island would be two shows in one.

01:27:44.000 It would become an MMA show.

01:27:47.000 So how about Dilf Island?

01:27:50.000 Actually, this would be a really great sketch where it's like 10 MMA fighters with 20-year-old daughters, and they're all brought in, and it's just all the dudes beating the crap out of each other.

01:28:03.000 Like, he's trying to talk to this girl, but also he's got his eye on his daughter and that other guy who's talking to her.

01:28:07.000 Like, it'd be terrifying.

01:28:08.000 That'd actually be a great show.

01:28:10.000 But also, like, all the men would be accused of being super creepy.

01:28:13.000 And like, I think that should apply to these women who are like, you're the same age as my son. 1.00

01:28:17.000 Great.

01:28:18.000 And they're rubbing their chests.

01:28:19.000 Like, what? 0.97

01:28:19.000 It's ridiculous. 0.97

01:28:21.000 It's super weird. 0.96

01:28:22.000 We live in a weird, weird society.

01:28:24.000 This is why I'm like, cultural decay, man.

01:28:26.000 Look, they're rebooting King of the Hill.

01:28:28.000 Really?

01:28:29.000 Not rebooting, they're restarting it.

01:28:30.000 They're doing new seasons.

01:28:31.000 And, like, Brittany Murphy, who voiced Luanne, is not around anymore.

01:28:35.000 And what, Bobby Hill is going to be the same little kid or something?

01:28:38.000 They're doing a new Frasier.

01:28:41.000 I thought he already got a spinoff.

01:28:44.000 Frasier is a spinoff of Cheers, and then now they're doing another one, and it's just like they keep remaking things.

01:28:49.000 They're out of ideas.

01:28:50.000 Netflix is buying cancelled shows and then restarting them.

01:28:53.000 It's like, do we have anything left as a society?

01:28:55.000 Are humans just stagnant and bored?

01:28:57.000 Well, I think they also don't want to take the risk, right?

01:28:59.000 Like, if you put a new show out there, then you are like opening yourself up to cancel.

01:29:03.000 If I recycle old material that at one point you were kind of okay with, I'm protecting myself a little bit.

01:29:07.000 I don't like it, but that's why I have to watch all the Fast and Furious movies, because I was very anti-sequel, and then I lost a bet on pop culture.

01:29:14.000 Have you seen any of them?

01:29:15.000 I'm up to five, I think.

01:29:18.000 I've seen one through five, but I have to get to nine before the next one comes out.

01:29:21.000 Are you actually registering what's happening, or do you just have them on in the background?

01:29:24.000 I watch them and I take notes so I can report live.

01:29:27.000 It's the most intense journalism I've ever done.

01:29:31.000 If you love car movies, yeah, I get why you're into it.

01:29:34.000 I am not into them, so I don't tend to become very invested in them, right?

01:29:39.000 Like Fast and Furious.

01:29:40.000 Yeah, I'm not.

01:29:41.000 Fast cinematic universe.

01:29:43.000 No, I disagree.

01:29:44.000 They went to outer space.

01:29:45.000 Stop saying that!

01:29:46.000 That's not a good reason!

01:29:47.000 Cars out of planes, and we were like, whoa, this is amazing!

01:29:50.000 Now they got cars in outer space.

01:29:52.000 But they could have done that in a different movie with different characters, and we would have been like, whoa, cars in space!

01:29:57.000 No, no, no, look, look, look.

01:29:59.000 It's the evolution of the movie series that makes it so amazing.

01:30:02.000 It's like every movie they do, they add something to it, and now that they're going on to like, what is it, episode 10 or whatever?

01:30:09.000 They already went to outer space!

01:30:10.000 I'm ready to see Vin Diesel get superpowers.

01:30:14.000 Or a mech suit, and a villain shrinks down his car and goes into a guy's body.

01:30:19.000 And then he has to shrink down his car and chase him through the veins, like driving on the veins?

01:30:24.000 Like Fantastic Voyage!

01:30:25.000 But you know the movie where the guy goes, he shrinks down?

01:30:28.000 Except, but like you have a villain element to it.

01:30:30.000 Osmosis Jones, who's like a white blood cell that he went through the body. 0.97

01:30:33.000 I just want to know if in the 10th movie there's a Tesla.

01:30:35.000 Because that seems like it makes sense to me.

01:30:37.000 Elon Musk's got to be in it.

01:30:38.000 Like I've never thought about cars so much in my life as I have while watching this franchise.

01:30:42.000 You go to lithium mines and free a bunch of slaves.

01:30:46.000 I will personally lobby any production house or whoever's gonna fund this for the next Fast and the Furious movie, Vin Diesel and the crew are driving, they're testing an experimental new car with like a fusion, you know, plasma reactor that explodes and the energy hits all of them and they all get a different superpower.

01:31:10.000 And then, but one of them turns bad.

01:31:13.000 And then, like, Doctor Doom.

01:31:15.000 And then, you know, they're fighting and, like, Vin Diesel is, like, super strong and can jump really high and he, like, punches the ground and the ground explodes and the other guy can shoot lightning from his fingertips or something.

01:31:24.000 One guy gets, like, because when they get knocked out of the car, like, one guy gets, the gasoline gets on him and he gets lit on fire, so he gets, like, fire powers.

01:31:30.000 One guy's, like, gets hit by the airbag, so he becomes, like, wind power.

01:31:33.000 You know, one guy's, like, stuck under the tires, so he gets, you know, this 20 ground power.

01:31:37.000 Yeah, he turns into a rubber man. 0.64

01:31:39.000 Yeah, you rolled a 20 on that one.

01:31:40.000 You could have, like, the villain could get stuck with a bunch of the carbon dioxide from the exhaust, and he's, like, breathing it in, and it's making him all hot.

01:31:46.000 No, he turns to smoke.

01:31:47.000 Yeah, so, like, there's, like, black smoke coming off him when he walks, and he's like, whatever happened to me was a gift.

01:31:53.000 And he, like, and then Vin Diesel's like, no!

01:31:55.000 And he gets blasted away, and then Michelle Rodriguez is like, no! 1.00

01:31:59.000 How dumb! 0.98

01:32:01.000 Why is this just, like, not the same franchise at all? 1.00

01:32:04.000 It's not now!

01:32:05.000 It went to outer space!

01:32:07.000 So why not just make a different movie about this?

01:32:10.000 You realize when you play games like Software Inc.

01:32:13.000 that you can buy IPs, so I could buy, like, an old movie and then put that name on my movie that has nothing to do with it, and they would just sell more tickets.

01:32:21.000 I get that there's just a cult following.

01:32:23.000 There's something about this I'll never totally follow.

01:32:25.000 Ludacris gets the ability to, like, interface with machines.

01:32:28.000 Because that's his character, he's like the tech guy.

01:32:30.000 No, that made me mad, because when I watched... He's smashed into the car.

01:32:33.000 He's plugging in the USB right as the blast hits him and he's like... He'd be Technomancer now.

01:32:40.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:32:40.000 And then all of a sudden he's like, I can see, and he's like, Neo.

01:32:44.000 And he goes like this, and then the car moves, and he's like...

01:32:46.000 I am the cortex.

01:32:47.000 See that annoyed me. He was like, I think it's like the fourth or the fifth one. I just watched it recently.

01:32:51.000 Like, he was like this nice guy with an afro and he waves the flags and he collects the money.

01:32:55.000 But then they wanted to bring him back. So they're like, we got to give you something to do.

01:32:58.000 He built a spaceship.

01:32:59.000 You know how to unlock the vault. I haven't seen that one yet. Don't ruin it for me.

01:33:02.000 He built a spaceship.

01:33:03.000 Man, that's hot.

01:33:04.000 He went to outer space with it.

01:33:05.000 I knew we had it in him.

01:33:06.000 I just don't get it.

01:33:08.000 Why is this the trajectory?

01:33:10.000 Think about it.

01:33:12.000 I have a lot more to go.

01:33:13.000 They're on 10, I think.

01:33:15.000 But look, the superpowers are already in it.

01:33:17.000 I've talked about this.

01:33:18.000 In Hobbs and Shaw, which is a spinoff, Idris Elba is a super soldier, cybernetically enhanced, bulletproof or something.

01:33:24.000 I'm totally down for this.

01:33:26.000 And then in the 11th one they fight Transformers and you bring Optimus Prime in it.

01:33:31.000 And then it makes perfect sense.

01:33:33.000 It writes itself.

01:33:34.000 Keep it going into absurdity.

01:33:36.000 It would actually kill.

01:33:36.000 Into absurdity?

01:33:38.000 We're not in absurdity yet.

01:33:39.000 Dude, imagine this. 0.99

01:33:40.000 Imagine Optimus Prime has got a blade through his chest and he's like, DUMB! 0.99

01:33:45.000 YOU MUST STOP MEGATRON! 0.99

01:33:47.000 And then Megatron's like, no, and swings.

01:33:50.000 And then Dom, they both punch and there's like little Dom and big Megatron, their fists are like, and that's the trailer.

01:33:57.000 I would spend 50 bucks to see that movie.

01:34:00.000 And you all would too.

01:34:01.000 Everybody knows it.

01:34:02.000 And this is for my new family.

01:34:05.000 He has to mention family a bunch of times.

01:34:08.000 Always, always.

01:34:09.000 I felt bad for him when he was like on the run with his sister and her new boyfriend who's also a fed who like got

01:34:14.000 you convicted for a car or whatever.

01:34:16.000 It just seems like rough.

01:34:18.000 Old enemies become friends.

01:34:19.000 I haven't seen any of these at all.

01:34:20.000 Have you seen any of these?

01:34:21.000 Just Hobbs and Shaw.

01:34:22.000 Oh man.

01:34:23.000 The one that Tim was just talking about, the Idris Elba.

01:34:24.000 Let me tell you, you're missing a lot of details.

01:34:26.000 Yeah.

01:34:27.000 And also none at all.

01:34:28.000 Well, it makes me actually angry to think about how they'll never make a fun movie like that.

01:34:32.000 Like think about, think about the Spider-Man movie they did.

01:34:36.000 Was it No Way Home?

01:34:37.000 No, which one was it?

01:34:38.000 Was it No Way Home, where Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were in it?

01:34:41.000 Yeah, that's a new one.

01:34:43.000 No Way Home?

01:34:44.000 I think so.

01:34:45.000 And it was awesome to see, like, they rebooted Spider-Man, but twice, so they just had to bring in their character to say it's like a multiverse.

01:34:53.000 And it was fun, and it was funny, and it was cool to see that they brought these other characters back, even though they're completely different movie franchises.

01:35:00.000 And the rumor is for the new... So they did Infinity War, where all the Marvel movies come together.

01:35:06.000 The rumor is they're going to do Secret Wars, which is a multiversal saga from Marvel.

01:35:10.000 So they're apparently going to bring in Hugh Jackman from the X-Men movies into the MCU and have all these different characters from different movies in one... I think that's a fantastic idea.

01:35:20.000 I want to see Dom in Fast and the Furious swing a fist with Megatron and they stop and energy bursts out and Optimus Prime is there.

01:35:30.000 Is it the actual Transformers?

01:35:31.000 Do they get the rights?

01:35:33.000 I don't know.

01:35:33.000 Who owns it?

01:35:34.000 Is it Universal?

01:35:35.000 I don't know.

01:35:35.000 Don't they own both?

01:35:36.000 I'm pretty sure it's Universal.

01:35:37.000 This is just not appealing to me.

01:35:39.000 Look up who owns both.

01:35:40.000 How would you make it better, Hannah Clare?

01:35:41.000 It is appealing?

01:35:42.000 It totally is.

01:35:43.000 How?

01:35:43.000 Probably like a woman who falls in love with a guy and he's a vampire or something.

01:35:47.000 No.

01:35:48.000 That's rude.

01:35:49.000 I'd make it a Hallmark movie.

01:35:54.000 Optimus Prime is a small-town robot who runs a big job as a truck driver, and when Dom brings his cousin back, she's got a busy business boyfriend, who's the worst, and she falls in love with Optimus and realizes she never left her hometown, and then Dom fights Megatron.

01:36:15.000 Okay, I'll think about it.

01:36:17.000 That's better.

01:36:17.000 No, I mean, I guess for me this, like, I also am not super into the MCU or, like, the DC thing where it's, like, here's 87 characters and movies and, like, I just feel like the plot gets lost.

01:36:27.000 But I recognize that this is a personal, like, I just am not into it.

01:36:30.000 Well, look, don't worry about all the characters because eventually you're gonna watch so much Fast and Furious that every character is just going to be dumb on the screen. 0.73

01:36:36.000 Yeah. 0.76

01:36:39.000 They're all versions of Dom.

01:36:40.000 It's very weird.

01:36:41.000 Oh, really?

01:36:41.000 Yeah.

01:36:42.000 Also, things don't make sense, and we're just supposed to accept it.

01:36:44.000 Yeah.

01:36:45.000 We gotta go to Super Chats.

01:36:47.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com.

01:36:53.000 We're gonna have a members-only uncensored show coming up for you in just about an hour and ten minutes.

01:36:57.000 They go up on the website front page every day about 11.

01:37:00.000 But let's read your Super Chats!

01:37:02.000 Tracer says, I am once again asking for channel member emojis and perhaps even custom colored beanie badges.

01:37:08.000 That's a good point.

01:37:09.000 Let me write down emoji and try to remember to get the crew on that.

01:37:14.000 That's a good idea.

01:37:15.000 Tracer.

01:37:17.000 Yeah, I've been playing Overwatch a little bit every day.

01:37:19.000 Little Heroes of the Storm on my end.

01:37:20.000 I might play it later tonight, actually.

01:37:23.000 I'm not a fan of Tracer in Overwatch.

01:37:26.000 I mean, she's got high DPS, but it's just... She's a good assassin killer, because she can get in the back lines. 1.00

01:37:31.000 She's faster than most assassins. 0.99

01:37:33.000 Sombra's better.

01:37:34.000 No, in Overwatch, I think just Sombra's better, because Sombra can stealth.

01:37:37.000 Just walk right up, aim at the head, and then warp out of there.

01:37:41.000 It just makes a lot more sense than Tracer.

01:37:43.000 Tracer's rewind is a little chaotic.

01:37:46.000 Anyway.

01:37:47.000 Neboopsh says, I respect the flax, but I'm not going to call myself Jam Frank or Eric the Rad.

01:37:52.000 Seems cheap.

01:37:53.000 What is that?

01:37:54.000 What?

01:37:54.000 I don't know.

01:37:55.000 You don't know what that means?

01:37:56.000 Tell me about it twice.

01:37:56.000 Oh, Jam Frank or Eric the Rad.

01:37:59.000 Oh, historical figures.

01:38:00.000 I think they're like historical figures.

01:38:02.000 Wow.

01:38:02.000 Jam Frank.

01:38:02.000 Witty.

01:38:03.000 Oh, Eric the Rad.

01:38:04.000 Yeah, I follow now.

01:38:06.000 Okay.

01:38:07.000 All right, we got Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:38:09.000 He says, Tim, I dug the 4 p.m.

01:38:10.000 I got to thinking about all the small towns in PA with boarded up windows down in Main Street and how they'll never come back, sad man.

01:38:17.000 I was talking about how if you go to small towns today, you'll see the downtown Main Street, not everywhere, but a lot of these small towns, there's just nothing.

01:38:27.000 Like in Brunswick, a lot of these businesses, there's just nothing there anymore.

01:38:32.000 We drove through recently and there was a shop that's gone now, and I was like, what happened to that shop that was there?

01:38:36.000 They're closing down, Amazon's taking over.

01:38:39.000 I always tell people, I was saying, Look at that boarded up old building and imagine what it must have been like when it was first built.

01:38:48.000 And there's like a young couple that just got married and they bought their first house and they're standing in front of it and they're smiling and they're like, we're gonna make it work, this is it.

01:38:55.000 And they go in there and it's like 1950 something and they're painting the walls and they're just like, this is gonna be our dream home.

01:39:00.000 And then it's like, it's like that movie Up.

01:39:02.000 You know, now it's all broken up, fallen apart, there's no one left anymore.

01:39:05.000 So that's crazy, I remember I was in, I think I was in Ukraine. 0.95

01:39:10.000 And I walked, I saw this old, like, just rusted piece of crap car.

01:39:14.000 And I thought about how, you know, when that car was first sold, some dude who bought it was like, yes! 0.94

01:39:19.000 Oh, brand new 1968 Volkswagen!

01:39:23.000 And now it's just rusted out, rotting, and it's someone's junker.

01:39:26.000 Yeah.

01:39:27.000 Crazy, right?

01:39:28.000 All the good feelings, all the, like, you know, when you first buy that car, like, everything you think you're going to do with the car, and then just to see where it is now, like, it's so disappointing.

01:39:38.000 It's almost, Just tragic.

01:39:41.000 I like buying, like, vintage clothes, and I think about that, especially with stuff that's, like, custom tailored.

01:39:45.000 You're like, oh, this was, like, someone's, like, big moment, you know, dress or outfit.

01:39:49.000 Like, they wore it somewhere important, and now it's just something I'm buying for, like, a dollar at an estate sale.

01:39:53.000 Depressing.

01:39:54.000 Max Reddick says, can you try to get David Pakman back on?

01:39:57.000 He was just on Valuetainment and he seems like one of those my-brain-broke-because-of-Trump type of guy.

01:40:02.000 Uh, I've known David Pakman for, like, 12 years.

01:40:07.000 And, uh, yeah, we should invite him out.

01:40:08.000 The thing is, it's hard to get people out who host their own shows.

01:40:13.000 And I'm not gonna, like, I'm not going to be critical of David because he probably can't come on because he literally does his own show.

01:40:19.000 It's like, hey, cancel your show and come on mine instead.

01:40:21.000 It's kind of a weird thing to ask somebody.

01:40:23.000 And there's a legitimate reason why we just don't Skype people in.

01:40:27.000 It is not the same thing.

01:40:29.000 It's just really not.

01:40:30.000 I don't know.

01:40:31.000 Maybe I'm wrong.

01:40:32.000 I just kind of feel that way.

01:40:33.000 And I just, I don't think internet conversations are the same as actually having someone in the room.

01:40:39.000 It's not because it's digital.

01:40:40.000 A lot of it literally, if two people try and make a sound at the same time, only one of the voices can be registered as a one.

01:40:46.000 The other one will be registered as a zero, and you'll hear mute.

01:40:48.000 So two people can't, like you and I can sing harmonies, and since it's an analog conversation, it's not gonna, I don't think it'll mess up.

01:40:56.000 I think we should do it too.

01:40:57.000 We've also had good We've had good response from, like, streaming on one channel and then flipping over to the other channel 20 minutes in.

01:41:03.000 So, like, we could stream on David's channel and then... Yeah, or both or whatever, but, you know, if he came out, I'd love to have him on.

01:41:10.000 But I really would love to have Kyle Kalinske, and I think we're gonna bring Kyle on.

01:41:14.000 I think Kyle's great.

01:41:14.000 Yeah, he's awesome.

01:41:15.000 I think, you know, we disagree on some political issues, but I remember one of the first experiences I had watching Kyle Kalinske's content was him defending Carl Benjamin.

01:41:24.000 And some leftist was attacking Carl and calling him a white supremacist, and Kyle was like, that's not true.

01:41:28.000 Like, you can disagree with Carl, but he's not that guy.

01:41:31.000 And I'm like, wow.

01:41:32.000 Like, he was being completely honest.

01:41:33.000 And I was like, I respect that.

01:41:34.000 I like the name of his channel is Secular Talk, so I imagine at some point he had some sort of religious, like, epiphany or something, whether it was to get away from it or to go toward it. 0.62

01:41:42.000 I'd love to hear his story about that.

01:41:44.000 Plus it makes sense that I think he's getting married to Crystal Ball, and she's also very similar.

01:41:49.000 Like, she's progressive, but, you know, obviously her and Saga are in debt either.

01:41:53.000 Yeah, like, they have disagreeing opinions, but, you know, you can have a conversation about what you disagree on, but you're having a real conversation.

01:41:59.000 So that's why I like Breaking Points.

01:42:01.000 You know, formerly it was, you know, Crystal and Saga were doing The Hills Rising.

01:42:05.000 But they're good people.

01:42:06.000 Crystal Kyle and Friends.

01:42:07.000 I think that's the name of the new show.

01:42:08.000 Yeah.

01:42:09.000 But I do think that they end up associating with a lot of bad faith people.

01:42:13.000 And I suppose people could probably argue that for us as well, like some of the people who come on the show are probably bad faith.

01:42:18.000 I think my issue is only like, dude, we invite people on, like we had the Krasensteins on, you know, props to them for coming on, but a lot of these lefties won't do it, and I think it's because they're legit grifters. 1.00

01:42:29.000 It's like, you can't accuse, like, they come out and they'll call us or other people on the right grifters, when quite literally, Ben Shapiro is like, please come on my show to have a conversation, and they're like, no.

01:42:39.000 It's like, how is it grifting if he wants you to go on his show and say literally whatever you want?

01:42:42.000 Yeah, they're full of it. They're full of it, man.

01:42:44.000 It's just, uh, it's one of those situations where, again, if you don't believe what you're saying, if you don't care

01:42:50.000 about it enough to at least have a baseline, then yeah, you're a grifter in the worst way.

01:42:53.000 Now, if you're just making money from it, then I mean, that's not bad. Like, you know, you're not a grifter, because you

01:42:59.000 at least believe it a little.

01:43:00.000 All right, Scrotes Magote says, Tim, I can't help but notice that nobody, including you, has mentioned the drone

01:43:05.000 attacks on Iran over the weekend.

01:43:06.000 Well, I don't really know what to add to that conversation or what to say. I mean, what do you guys think?

01:43:10.000 I was first to have heard of it.

01:43:11.000 Still a developing story, honestly. But I mean, you know, for what we know is Israel was involved, or at least that's

01:43:19.000 what they claimed.

01:43:21.000 And you know, right now, it's got some implications because you know, Russia, those Shahed drones that they use to basically, you know, put Kiev in the dark came from Iran. 0.86

01:43:32.000 So there's still a lot of stuff coming out about that.

01:43:35.000 So I don't I don't think it's wise to even, you know, render a decision.

01:43:39.000 I tell people this all the time.

01:43:40.000 Tactical patience.

01:43:41.000 Just, literally, do nothing.

01:43:43.000 Just wait.

01:43:44.000 Wrath of Paul says last night's episode was one of the best ever.

01:43:47.000 Matt Strickland is an American hero.

01:43:48.000 It was very inspiring to hear his story about how he won against tyranny.

01:43:51.000 I love sticking it to the man.

01:43:53.000 Yeah, Matt Strickland of Gore Melts in Virginia.

01:43:56.000 Google it, look it up, go head down there.

01:43:58.000 They got amazing food, 90s music.

01:44:00.000 It's Gore Melts, was it 90s music and brew house, something like that.

01:44:03.000 I don't know, something like that.

01:44:05.000 I'm getting the name wrong, but Gore Melts is his way to remember it, and he's running for state senate in Virginia.

01:44:12.000 So they try to shut everybody down over COVID, and he says, look, these rules don't make sense.

01:44:17.000 They said put up plexiglass, but he was like, how big?

01:44:19.000 Where?

01:44:19.000 How?

01:44:19.000 Like, what if I put up one inch of plexiglass?

01:44:21.000 And they're like, yep, that's fine.

01:44:22.000 He's like, but it doesn't make any sense.

01:44:23.000 Why are you making me do this?

01:44:24.000 People have to wear masks when they walk in, but they take it off when they sit down.

01:44:27.000 He's like, what does that even do?

01:44:28.000 It makes no sense.

01:44:29.000 So he said, I'm not doing it.

01:44:31.000 They eventually came after him.

01:44:33.000 They pulled his licenses.

01:44:35.000 And then he said, OK, well, I don't care.

01:44:36.000 I'm going to keep doing it.

01:44:38.000 Then we all saw this viral video where they raided his store and took all his booze.

01:44:41.000 And this is under a Republican, mind you, Yunkin.

01:44:44.000 And he still said, I'm not going to do it.

01:44:46.000 He won everything.

01:44:47.000 He won in court.

01:44:49.000 He won back his booze.

01:44:50.000 He won back his licenses because he just said no and he refused to comply.

01:44:54.000 And you know the worst thing about the story is?

01:44:57.000 He said that tons of people hit him up saying, what you did was amazing.

01:44:59.000 And he says, well, why don't you do it?

01:45:00.000 And I'm like, oh no, I can't do that.

01:45:02.000 I don't want to, I don't want to get the health department on me.

01:45:04.000 And it's like, you, you, you cheer on the one guy who did, but you refuse to stand up with him.

01:45:08.000 That's, that's brutal, man.

01:45:10.000 Yeah.

01:45:10.000 I think it's an example that you can emulate people like Matt, the amazing guy.

01:45:16.000 It's really hard to do though, man.

01:45:17.000 Cause they put, they put them in the pain box.

01:45:19.000 Like, you know, they, they really did make them put this in, in the pain box and you just, That will is not common.

01:45:26.000 That's the thing.

01:45:27.000 You don't have people that have that willpower.

01:45:29.000 All right, Daniel Welch says, I have history of autoimmune pericarditis.

01:45:32.000 Always disclosed and accepted for health life insurance.

01:45:35.000 Recently denied life insurance because of pericarditis.

01:45:38.000 I wonder what changed recently.

01:45:40.000 Very interesting.

01:45:41.000 Very interesting indeed.

01:45:43.000 Yeah, let's talk about the MSNBC host for the members only.

01:45:46.000 We can go nuts on it.

01:45:48.000 Yeah, you've got a lot of medical knowledge that you bring to the table on that.

01:45:51.000 Yeah, we were talking a lot about this.

01:45:54.000 So we'll talk about that.

01:45:55.000 She's like, I had a common cold and it turned into pericarditis and then a week later it turned into myocarditis and it's been a month and a half and I still have a cold.

01:46:01.000 And I'm just kind of like, real quick, do people get colds for that long?

01:46:06.000 That is, is really rare.

01:46:08.000 Typically if you're immunocompromised, something like that could happen.

01:46:11.000 And you know, again, that's what I was thinking.

01:46:13.000 I'm like, when I get a cold, it's like three days.

01:46:16.000 I start, I wake up and I'm like, Oh, I'm feeling a little sick.

01:46:18.000 Then the next day I'm like, Oh, I'm sneezing.

01:46:20.000 The next day I'm like, wow, I'm feeling like I'm getting better.

01:46:22.000 And then the next day it's just like, Oh, it's a, was it the rhino virus?

01:46:26.000 Yeah.

01:46:26.000 It's actually a, it's actually a family of the coronavirus, believe it or not still, uh, you know, the common cold.

01:46:32.000 I was reading about it.

01:46:33.000 It says it duplicates at 93 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the temperature of your nose.

01:46:37.000 So if you have snot in your nose and you're not blowing it out, that's where it's duplicating and duplicating.

01:46:41.000 Oh, wow.

01:46:42.000 Keep that empty.

01:46:43.000 That's why it goes in your nose, huh?

01:46:44.000 Yeah, it's a great breeding ground for the rhinovirus.

01:46:47.000 John Rittenhoff says, I'm digging Ian's jacket. 0.60

01:46:49.000 Hell yeah, dawg.

01:46:50.000 Yeah.

01:46:52.000 All right, what do we got here?

01:46:53.000 AKStorm says, a lot of people I follow that did lock their accounts and their first post is asking if they're finally being seen.

01:46:58.000 I saw a bunch of people all of a sudden, all my retweets were gone, all of my quote tweets were broken and I'm just like, I can't like, dude, you just cut yourself off from every post and it just is a weird thing, man.

01:47:10.000 It's a weird thing.

01:47:11.000 How long do you think they'll stay locked for?

01:47:12.000 I don't know.

01:47:14.000 Is this a lifestyle change permanently or a couple weeks?

01:47:16.000 Maybe.

01:47:17.000 But look, some people have already went public again.

01:47:20.000 People are saying like, oh, it's hyperbole to say Twitter is dead.

01:47:25.000 And I'm like, it's a figure of speech.

01:47:26.000 I'm not saying Twitter broke.

01:47:27.000 I'm saying that if large portions of high profile personalities have locked their accounts and no one can see what they're posting and I can't share their stuff anymore and they did it because no one's getting engagement.

01:47:39.000 Come on.

01:47:40.000 It's dead.

01:47:41.000 Yeah, the platform is dying.

01:47:43.000 And look, Dave Rubin did that thread where he said the code is what they call a fractal Rube Goldberg machine, and they're trying to fix the code, but they pull one piece out and the whole thing starts breaking apart.

01:47:56.000 They're going to rebuild it from the base up, they said.

01:47:58.000 Yeah, it might be that the site is under intense anesthesia at the moment and is unconscious.

01:48:03.000 Fully alive and going into surgery.

01:48:06.000 Fair point.

01:48:08.000 Yeah, then they're gonna have to do that.

01:48:10.000 But I mean, that's taking the company private, though.

01:48:12.000 That's technically what that is.

01:48:13.000 Because you're rebuilding anyways.

01:48:16.000 He did that.

01:48:17.000 Elon did that when he bought it?

01:48:18.000 Yeah, so it's been under anesthesia.

01:48:21.000 All right, Jeffrey Perrine says, I think you would love the book of Proverbs, the wisdom book.

01:48:26.000 It's series of limericks about wisdom and the consequence of rejecting it.

01:48:30.000 It seems similar to things like Confucius written by Solomon.

01:48:33.000 Yeah.

01:48:33.000 Interesting.

01:48:34.000 Very wise book.

01:48:34.000 I used to read that one actually a lot, but God.

01:48:38.000 I can't remember any of them.

01:48:39.000 It's just too much good stuff.

01:48:41.000 Patriot American says, Tim, when your West Virginia location finally opens, will you be promoting the address so people can submit applications to work there, or have you already received applications for it?

01:48:49.000 We have, like, a couple applications from people who met us at events, but once the location is open and we say what it is, you'll be able to Google it.

01:49:00.000 And then everyone will come.

01:49:03.000 And so this is what I was trying to say to people in the city, like, look, I think it's a coffee shop.

01:49:07.000 It's going to sell coffee.

01:49:09.000 People are going to go there for breakfast and stuff.

01:49:11.000 But we're going to do events, and we're going to invite y'all out there.

01:49:13.000 So I'm like, this is going to bring people to the area.

01:49:15.000 It's going to be good for everybody.

01:49:17.000 So I think there's a lot of excitement.

01:49:18.000 And there was an all-ages drag show nearby, and that actually got me close to canceling This location saying like, I don't want to be in a town that would advocate for this.

01:49:30.000 And then I thought actually the opposite.

01:49:33.000 We're going to bring our influence into this town and just be like, we don't do this here.

01:49:37.000 You can't abandon the territory.

01:49:38.000 That's right.

01:49:39.000 Like if you're in a battleground, you don't just give up.

01:49:41.000 Yeah.

01:49:41.000 And it's not about like going out there and protesting.

01:49:45.000 It's about saying like, look, you do that.

01:49:47.000 We're going to do an event and we're going to say no.

01:49:49.000 And we're going to have games and drinks.

01:49:50.000 And we're going to put on, you know what I'll do?

01:49:52.000 I'll put on a drag show.

01:49:54.000 Big drag show, biggest drag show, and we'll have food and booze. 1.00

01:50:00.000 Of course, that means 21 and up and only.

01:50:03.000 No kids, no kids allowed.

01:50:04.000 And I will make it so that, look, I don't care if you have a drag show, that's great. 0.61

01:50:07.000 Like, have fun, be an adult, do weird stuff, do fun stuff, have a good time.

01:50:11.000 No kids, this is not for kids.

01:50:13.000 And so, this influence we can bring in can be more libertarian, but it can also be like, you ain't bringing your kids here.

01:50:17.000 And that's what they were doing.

01:50:19.000 And that's just like, it's not appropriate, man.

01:50:21.000 We're gonna do Saturday morning cartoons, we call it.

01:50:24.000 Bring in your kids, hang out, we'll do catered breakfast.

01:50:27.000 You come in, we'll figure out whatever it costs.

01:50:30.000 Everybody gets to eat pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon.

01:50:32.000 Maybe, well, we gotta have pancakes, but I recommend people avoid the glutens and the sugars and all that stuff.

01:50:37.000 Almond flour.

01:50:38.000 Yeah, we could do, or a mix at least.

01:50:41.000 We got this almond flour that has tapioca in it.

01:50:43.000 And it's really good.

01:50:45.000 Yeah, if you've ever cooked with like almond flour or even like coconut flour, dude, yeah, you can do some good stuff.

01:50:51.000 You remove the carbs, you add a little bit more fiber, which is good for the gut, and it's just better for you.

01:50:56.000 But then we'll put on approved cartoon shows, maybe like Daily Wire's Chip Chilla when that comes out.

01:51:01.000 Things that are gonna instill kids with, you know, like, I think Justice League.

01:51:05.000 I thought that was great.

01:51:06.000 A lot of important lessons.

01:51:07.000 Bring back Young Justice.

01:51:09.000 Man, I hate that they canceled that show.

01:51:11.000 Yeah.

01:51:11.000 Static Shock, I thought, was actually a really great show for teaching kids lessons.

01:51:16.000 Yeah, it did.

01:51:17.000 Yeah, it was good.

01:51:18.000 It was like the kid got caught up in gang violence.

01:51:21.000 Then, what is it, like the big bang happened where all the gas exploded?

01:51:24.000 All the bang babies and they became metahumans, basically, and so now, you know, he's literally at school with, like, super-powered school bullies and he's just all the while coping and you know kind of coming into age 0.99

01:51:35.000 and learning their powers.

01:51:36.000 They had the racism episode, they had the homophobia episode where like his friend is gay

01:51:41.000 and his dad is intolerant but they were like I thought it all worked. I thought it was all like

01:51:46.000 relatively libertarian so I'm like I think we can we can we can make this work.

01:51:50.000 Anyway, that's going to be fun.

01:51:51.000 I'm super excited for this.

01:51:53.000 Melissa Wood says, Malcolm rolls a 20.

01:51:55.000 BlackRock and Zelensky just came together to rebuild Ukraine.

01:51:57.000 Have you guys seen the video about what the goal for Ukraine is?

01:52:00.000 A completely digitized society by 2030.

01:52:04.000 What if?

01:52:04.000 Conspiracy theory.

01:52:05.000 What if the war is part of the World Economic Forum Great Reset, and Putin is the faux villain, and they're damaging Ukraine on purpose because you have to destroy before you can rebuild?

01:52:18.000 How do you radically transform something to create what you want if there's a layer already on top of it of a culture and a society?

01:52:25.000 Decimate it, and then... So this is what happened with the NHS in the UK, for instance.

01:52:30.000 How did you get nationalized healthcare in Europe?

01:52:32.000 World War II.

01:52:33.000 Everything was just destroyed and people had no choice.

01:52:36.000 You had to give people medical care.

01:52:38.000 And so it came from the government.

01:52:40.000 Now it's just a part of their system.

01:52:43.000 Conspiracy theory, I'm not saying it's true.

01:52:45.000 I'm saying at the very least, whether that's true or not, what Russia is doing will result in a reconstruction that will be radically different.

01:52:54.000 Very strange.

01:52:55.000 They're gonna have the best internet.

01:52:56.000 No joke.

01:52:57.000 Yeah, it's gonna be crazy.

01:52:58.000 Because when they rebuild it, they're gonna rebuild it with top tier tech.

01:53:00.000 And they're gonna have gigabit phones and stuff.

01:53:03.000 You got the best slave masters, the most high tech.

01:53:07.000 Well, and they're over there with all the resources.

01:53:09.000 And China's basically bankrolling that whole entire region right now.

01:53:12.000 So yeah, Ukraine.

01:53:14.000 Yeah, well, Russia, basically, but they'll probably get in on it because China likes to make money.

01:53:19.000 That's literally what they do.

01:53:20.000 Yeah, you can see what happened Rwanda to all the internet and everything got so good there.

01:53:23.000 Now it's like the Singapore of Africa. 0.98

01:53:24.000 Wow.

01:53:25.000 Yeah.

01:53:25.000 5g, baby.

01:53:26.000 Yeah.

01:53:29.000 Let's grab some more.

01:53:31.000 Grofty says, uh, that jacket is nice, Ian.

01:53:33.000 Thanks, Grofty.

01:53:34.000 Yeah, a lot of people are commenting on, uh, on that jacket.

01:53:37.000 It's my blue, uh, what is this?

01:53:38.000 Velvet?

01:53:39.000 Velvet.

01:53:39.000 Yeah, man.

01:53:40.000 It's awesome.

01:53:41.000 I should know.

01:53:41.000 Blue suede, I was gonna call it.

01:53:42.000 Blue velvet.

01:53:44.000 And looking smooth over there.

01:53:45.000 I was about to say, that's a 20-rolling jacket right there.

01:53:49.000 I got a gold, green, and blue.

01:53:53.000 Quantum Strange Quarks says $100 billion would be enough to give every homeless veteran $2.5 million each.

01:54:01.000 Gotta make sure that math is correct.

01:54:04.000 Oh God, that reminds me of the one meme.

01:54:06.000 I mean, maybe.

01:54:06.000 How many homeless veterans?

01:54:08.000 The Elon Musk purchasing Twitter meme where people like purposely get the number of people that he could have given for $44 billion wrong.

01:54:16.000 I remember when that lady went on, I think it was MSNBC, and she was like, what did she say?

01:54:22.000 There's a tweet, and it's like Brian Williams, and he's like, Michael Bloomberg spent $500 million on his campaign.

01:54:29.000 There are 325 million Americans.

01:54:32.000 He could have given everybody in America a million dollars and had change left over, still be rich.

01:54:36.000 And she's like, it's crazy, isn't it?

01:54:38.000 But it's true!

01:54:39.000 And it's like, he could have given everybody like $1.50.

01:54:41.000 These people don't know math.

01:54:43.000 What are you talking about?

01:54:44.000 You don't understand Elon Musk bad.

01:54:47.000 Don't question the math.

01:54:48.000 But $100 billion.

01:54:51.000 That is massive.

01:54:52.000 That is a lot of money.

01:54:55.000 2.5 million.

01:54:56.000 Just 1% of it.

01:54:58.000 You won't even miss it.

01:54:59.000 Come on.

01:54:59.000 It's going to get sold anyways.

01:55:02.000 Peter Watkin says, Tim, you advertise, put your money where your mouth is.

01:55:05.000 I mean, I did to a certain degree, right?

01:55:09.000 I didn't go out and like cure a bunch of blind people. 1.00

01:55:12.000 I could.

01:55:13.000 I think it'd be great marketing if we made the same video and we're like the Mr. Beast challenge.

01:55:17.000 Spend your marketing budget.

01:55:19.000 How about we do it?

01:55:20.000 How about we do a response to Mr. Beast, just straight up saying, the best possible marketing ever is helping people.

01:55:27.000 And I guess the issue is, I don't think I have nearly as much money as Mr. Beast does.

01:55:32.000 How many people can we treat maybe?

01:55:33.000 Well, we're helping Bucco with stem cells.

01:55:35.000 We could do that with cats.

01:55:36.000 We could do it with people's animals.

01:55:37.000 We could do like, put a million dollars into like, just heal like 150 cats or something, or 200 and 300 dogs.

01:55:43.000 Just go to like a local vet hospital and pay off everyone's bills.

01:55:48.000 If we had a million dollars lying around.

01:55:50.000 Because it's not that expensive.

01:55:53.000 It's like, what was the five grand?

01:55:54.000 I think for the entire, like eight grand for the entire process.

01:55:57.000 If we did that for like a hundred people or something, that'd be... But it's not the people, it's the cats.

01:56:00.000 So it's seeing the emotional response from the humans that are able to see again that really sells the video.

01:56:05.000 But then the question is, do you then make a video and put it on YouTube so you can make revenue off it and then continue this process?

01:56:11.000 Exactly.

01:56:12.000 And that could potentially be the thing, right?

01:56:14.000 So we spent, I think, like half a million bucks on the Times Square stuff throughout last year.

01:56:20.000 And this was over like four months, so it's not like all at once.

01:56:23.000 All at once is not possible, but spread out over time with revenue coming in, and then we spend our excess on trying to do something impactful.

01:56:30.000 I think we could potentially do something like that.

01:56:31.000 Maybe in a few months after we generate enough revenue, then we can spend it on something You know, Jimmy was already pulling in revenue, I believe, when he started feeding it back into the system.

01:56:42.000 So he was already self-generating.

01:56:43.000 But I mean, like I said, it works.

01:56:45.000 It's an investment.

01:56:47.000 So it works.

01:56:48.000 It's actually a pretty nice investment.

01:56:50.000 But I mean, have people send in ideas, you know, and maybe like every month draw an idea and have that person, you know, come see it in action or something.

01:57:02.000 All right.

01:57:03.000 I guess I got to read this one.

01:57:04.000 Cage of the Mix says, Tim needs to stop putting black guests in front of black, dark-colored backgrounds. 1.00

01:57:08.000 I'm sure it's just a coincidence that it happens every time.

01:57:10.000 There's one guest seat, and we have the soundproof over the door, because it's a bathroom, and there's three layers of soundproofing for obvious reason.

01:57:19.000 So, but, you know, I guess fair point.

01:57:22.000 It's just to check to see if you're paying attention, because one day, one moment I could be here, next moment I could just ninja away.

01:57:29.000 You got to see me.

01:57:30.000 People are pointing out the contrast like Hannah Clare is very pale and so this it's like that white photo of Joe Biden behind me, too But like we just always put the guests there so As the brand behind him, which is nice for when the from the clips come out.

01:57:46.000 You always remember what show it's well I don't know.

01:57:48.000 It's just color and it's a problem.

01:57:50.000 It's always been the guests Yeah, I think it would be weirder if we were like, you know, the black guests have to sit Look, I might start giving y'all the eyebrow. 1.00

01:57:58.000 I saw the last guest over here.

01:57:58.000 Hold on now.

01:58:00.000 Wait a minute!

01:58:02.000 You can't sit there.

01:58:02.000 You're too dark.

01:58:03.000 Like, that sounds awful!

01:58:07.000 See, but a leftist would think that that was progressive.

01:58:10.000 Should we have like emails you've been like, but please don't wear black.

01:58:13.000 Just wear a white shirt, a red shirt, a colorful shirt.

01:58:16.000 Well, actually, no, to be fair, you know, we would yell at Luke all the time for wearing red.

01:58:20.000 Because it, it, it, the cameras go nuts!

01:58:20.000 Yeah.

01:58:23.000 Yeah, it turns red or blue.

01:58:25.000 Yeah, it's like, you know, Ian's wearing this crazy, crazy jacket.

01:58:29.000 Yeah, if you wore like a white shirt, maybe you would have popped on screen?

01:58:33.000 Like, I feel really uncomfortable.

01:58:34.000 I don't have any kind of white clothing.

01:58:38.000 I don't know, you remember that commercial where they did this diversity camera thing where they're like, our cameras can actually take pictures of black people.

01:58:44.000 Oh yeah.

01:58:44.000 That was like the marketing campaign.

01:58:46.000 Oh my gosh.

01:58:48.000 Oh, I remember now, true talent.

01:58:50.000 Jesus Christ.

01:58:53.000 I mean, whatever man, you know, make a camera that works, it's fine.

01:58:56.000 I got no beef.

01:58:57.000 Yeah, as long as everyone understands it's not me.

01:58:59.000 Guys, it's not my fault.

01:59:00.000 It's just Ray's face here.

01:59:01.000 Sarge over there, dog whistling in the corner.

01:59:05.000 Crispy Cave says, if you guys are confused by slap fights, you have to check out In Car MMA.

01:59:10.000 What?

01:59:10.000 I've seen that.

01:59:11.000 I think it's where they fight in a car.

01:59:13.000 No way.

01:59:13.000 What?

01:59:14.000 Are you joking?

01:59:15.000 People just do this on the show!

01:59:15.000 Stop!

01:59:16.000 No way.

01:59:17.000 Car jujitsu.

01:59:18.000 Yeah, you found it?

01:59:19.000 Oh, God.

01:59:19.000 Submission grappling inside of a car.

01:59:21.000 Go to a dangerous city!

01:59:23.000 I don't understand why we're making this up.

01:59:26.000 As a Muay Thai practitioner, I already make jokes about Jiu-Jitsu practitioners, but to see them trying to get a Kimura over the dashboard, that's hilarious.

01:59:37.000 I'm looking at lowkickmma.com, and you see a dude jumping over the seat.

01:59:42.000 The dude in the blue is trying to wrestle him down.

01:59:44.000 People, so like, if you're in MMA, do UFC fighters transition into this?

01:59:48.000 Is this a launch pad for a different career?

01:59:50.000 What's the ecosystem here?

01:59:52.000 Typically, you start training at a gym, and you start amateur, so you're taking a few fights in little, small amateur leagues.

01:59:58.000 Some people, they go the route, they start in street beefs.

02:00:01.000 If you've ever watched street beefs, it is addictive.

02:00:04.000 But then they go to like these smaller leagues, things like, um, you know, well, you know, we can go into Strikeforce, but you know, you got Caged Titan and stuff, and they eventually just move and they get signed to UFC.

02:00:14.000 It's kind of like boxing.

02:00:15.000 But like, if you're in UFC now, do you start fighting in the car next?

02:00:17.000 Nah, then you go to movies.

02:00:19.000 Alright, I want to grab this last one.

02:00:19.000 Oh, okay.

02:00:22.000 What is this?

02:00:24.000 Arnolfo Flores says, hey Tim, are you willing to accept goldbacks as currency in your cafe?

02:00:29.000 Yes!

02:00:30.000 If we're legally allowed to, which I think we would be.

02:00:33.000 So we actually have a bunch of them.

02:00:34.000 We have a couple stacks of the goldbacks that I got a while ago.

02:00:38.000 It is gold foil, one one-thousandth of a troy ounce in a, you know, bill.

02:00:45.000 And it's like laminated or something.

02:00:47.000 It's like sealed, I guess, or whatever.

02:00:50.000 And so it's a gold bill.

02:00:52.000 And I think their value is around, like, between $2 and $5, depending.

02:00:55.000 Yeah, that'd be 1% of $2,100.

02:00:56.000 That's about where gold's at, right?

02:00:59.000 Standard voice.

02:01:00.000 So you walk in and it's like, someone says, will you take a gold back?

02:01:02.000 I'd probably say sure.

02:01:03.000 Or one to 2,000.

02:01:05.000 I might honestly even accept a barter, to be honest.

02:01:08.000 Like you come in and you're like, I'd like a coffee.

02:01:10.000 It's like, what do you got?

02:01:11.000 I have this really nifty chain.

02:01:12.000 And like, I'll take it.

02:01:14.000 Someone can walk in and be like, I got an old bike lock.

02:01:16.000 I'm like, throw it in the pile.

02:01:17.000 Turn it into a game, start bartering for your coffee.

02:01:20.000 Yeah.

02:01:21.000 I'd say you want the Venti, you gotta really gotta barter there.

02:01:23.000 Venti.

02:01:24.000 Or like, wasn't it like they're just paying you in nickels because nickels are worth something?

02:01:28.000 Yeah, you get a discount if you spend nickels because nickels are worth more in their metal

02:01:32.000 than they are in their currency.

02:01:33.000 Alright everybody, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this YouTube channel, share this show with your friends, because that's what really helps.

02:01:41.000 Take the URL and post it everywhere.

02:01:43.000 We're bigger than CNN already.

02:01:44.000 That was the news.

02:01:45.000 They struggled to get as many viewers as we get, and that's kind of a crazy thought, so that's kind of funny.

02:01:51.000 Sorry, CNN.

02:01:51.000 Too bad.

02:01:52.000 Their YouTube clips get hundreds of millions, but as a primetime show live, we're actually beating them in the key demo.

02:01:59.000 And I think we're nearly beating them in all demographics, too.

02:02:03.000 We have more key demo viewers, almost more key demo viewers than their total viewership.

02:02:08.000 Their key demo is 93,000.

02:02:11.000 Yeah, that's crazy.

02:02:11.000 And MSNBC's is 69,000.

02:02:14.000 So anyway, thank you all for supporting our show, for sharing, and it's so crazy to go out and have people be like, yo, Tim, big fan, because it's remarkable just to see how far the show has gone, how far it's come.
