In this episode, the boys talk about a viral video of a crying nurse, Jack Dorsey s $1B exit from the company, and the new Birds of Prey movie. Plus, we talk about the Jussie Smollett controversy, and why we should all be scared of the coronavirus.
00:00:36.000We got Fs, Rs, Ls, the chat is lightin' up.
00:00:39.000Welcome to the show, we're gonna talk about a bunch of stuff.
00:00:43.000So, apparently there's this viral story, and I commented on it before, I thought it was legit, apparently it's not, where there's this video of this nurse and she's crying.
00:00:51.000And she's like, they wouldn't let me wear a mask!
00:00:54.000They're putting us, just, we are not prepared or something, you know, to quote Ilda Dan from Burning Crusade, if you get the reference.
00:01:33.000We're gonna get into, we have this story about apparently there's two, I guess, like, intersectionalist professors who are scared that the coronavirus is gonna make people fatphobic or something.
00:03:48.000No, but it really is cringey listening to these celebrities try to do the new generation of media.
00:03:54.000Because I've been doing social media for almost a decade now, and you've got a ton of people that have developed this methodology using new technologies, and they've been on TV doing this archaic old thing.
00:04:06.000And now that we're all trapped at home, Seeing like Stephen Colbert tried to do an at-home thing.
00:04:58.000It's just really weird to watch that, you know, Colbert does thing in his backyard by his fire pit, and I'm like
00:05:03.000You are not you okay, so you have all of these youtubers like me for instance
00:05:09.000And it's like sitting in a room talking to the camera right and there's something about it where it's like you know it
00:05:14.000works Watching him do it from his backyard. It's like clear. He
00:05:17.000doesn't know how to be relatable like Like, when you're watching somebody at home talk about stuff, then you, this is like a relatable thing there.
00:05:24.000It's like, you're in your room, I'm hanging out.
00:05:25.000You're seeing the raw them, as opposed to, he's got probably a room full of writers.
00:06:10.000Now take the worst of both of those things, mash them together, and that's what you get with like Jimmy Kimmel and Colbert and these weird shows they're doing.
00:07:15.000America is not prepared, and nurses are not being protected.
00:07:19.000You know, when this story first came out, I took it seriously.
00:07:21.000I was like, man, it's worrisome when you get nurses and doctors quitting, and they're real nurses quitting, not this, you know, fake whatever.
00:07:28.000Then, I mean, things have to fall apart.
00:08:10.000What's really annoying to me is there are a lot of people who are... It's clear what they're trying to insinuate, casting doubt upon what's going on.
00:08:18.000Like, you know, look, I've done this when we talked about the paddle boarding guy and the beach who got arrested.
00:08:48.000right and then tell them to go home if they show up anyway yeah but to make up these ridiculous stories yeah so
00:08:54.000Candace Owens who is like a big Trump personality has been tweeting a bunch of
00:08:57.000things and one of the things she tweeted was a story from the New York Times that said
00:09:00.000where has the the heart attack and stroke victims gone right and then she tweeted doctors around the world are
00:09:06.000wondering what's happening to these patients and flu and pneumonia
00:09:10.000deaths have dropped off The insinuation that people were making, I'm going to avoid accusing her directly, but the people in the comments were saying, like were replying to her tweets, that these doctors are taking heart attack deaths and calling them coronavirus.
00:09:26.000Because there are these stories popping up where it's like, my grandma in Italy, you know, we've talked about it.
00:09:32.000And there are a few stories that people have highlighted.
00:09:34.000There was a story of an infant who was in the hospital for some kind of a procedure for a month, like a very serious, you know, and then contracted COVID and died.
00:09:44.000And so people are questioning why that was labeled as a COVID death.
00:10:13.000If you think they're over-counting some things, they're definitely under-counting other things.
00:10:17.000So they're saying in New York that if they find a DOA, like if they get a call for a wellness check and there's someone dead, and they can't determine the cause of death, they don't put it down as coronavirus.
00:10:25.000So the city is concerned they're under-counting the deaths.
00:10:30.000Well, let's take a look at this nurse right here.
00:10:32.000So I love this because we have this tweet, and just below it, We have Melissa A. Two months from now, we will find out this Jussie Smollett 2.0 fake.
00:12:31.000What ends up happening is it's conservative sites that pick it up and start sharing it.
00:12:35.000So now if you're, so there's this really funny study that I've shared and progressives really hate it.
00:12:39.000It shows that people on the left, liberals, typically only get their news from liberal sources.
00:12:45.000Moderates take about 60% liberal sources, about 30-40% conservative sources, and conservatives, it's inverted, about 60-70% conservative and 30% liberal.
00:12:56.000Conservatives do read left-wing news sites and liberal news sources.
00:13:01.000So they've seen the fake news, then they see the correction, and they go, there it is.
00:13:26.000Like Market Watch did a fair take, saying... Well, actually, I'll give you the context.
00:13:32.000I wake up this morning, and I'm scrolling down the Twitters, and I pull up the Reddits, and then they're over on good old rslashpolitics, which is supposed to be a place for normal discourse, the top post.
00:13:43.000Donald Trump owns stake in pharmaceutical company that manufactures hydroxychloroquine.
00:13:50.000And so, in the comments they're all like, I knew it!
00:13:58.000Now we know why Trump is promoting this drug.
00:14:02.000And then sure enough, even NeverTrumperGeorgeConway, like he hates Trump, tweeted like, oh come on, it's a minority stake through a mutual fund, this is ridiculous.
00:14:11.000And I'm like, the media has become so desperate with their lies, trying to push back on whatever they can, Donald Trump's family has multiple trusts.
00:14:23.000One of them has a stake in a mutual fund, which has 3.3% holdings in a company called, like, Sanofil or something.
00:15:27.000If I put out a video right now that was titled like, proof Hillary Clinton is a lizard and turns into a lizard on camera and it got a million views.
00:15:48.000Not only do they make money on the lie, they make money on the retraction.
00:15:51.000So they're totally incentivized to do this.
00:15:55.000Now, like I was saying, these lefty types will watch CBS and they'll walk away.
00:16:00.000So these people are now actually believing.
00:16:03.000I'm willing to bet you go talk to any one of your friends who doesn't really pay attention and they're going to be like, didn't Trump own the company that was making that drug?
00:16:20.000I mean, like, you know, when Huffington Post wrote about it, they get, you know, 150,000, you know, 150,000, 500,000 shares or views or whatever on the article.
00:17:52.000How do they think they're going to get away with this?
00:17:55.000You know, I guess too many people, it's funny when they rag on Fox News for having like old viewers.
00:18:02.000Because Fox News actually has more key demographic viewers than the other networks like CBS, MSNBC, and CNN.
00:18:13.000And so I think what's really happening is these networks that have older viewers, and to a decent extent include Fox News, They're never going to correct this on air.
00:18:24.000CBS issues a tiny note on their website, oops!
00:18:28.000Or on their Twitter message, like you said, we're good, we're covered.
00:18:34.000Man, it's crazy when I was at Walgreens, and uh the lady at the cashier we are walking up and they have all the social distancing stuff everywhere and she said something that was just so insane about like trump and his son and she's like wow you know the president's doing these things and i'm like
00:18:53.000Like, it would take me so long to unwind all of these lies.
00:19:44.000I actually don't think it's that crazy that we're talking about coronavirus, the pandemic, all the things they're doing, and the president comes up.
00:19:51.000But I can't remember exactly what she said, but I was just like, oh, that is just... It's like a lie layered upon lie.
00:21:50.000I read the news and I feel this way and then I complain about it.
00:21:54.000But then, you know... But it's accurate, though, for the most part.
00:21:57.000Well, I don't watch Hannity, and I don't watch, for the most part, Rachel... I watch Hannity periodically for, like, relevant things.
00:22:03.000I watch Rachel Maddow periodically for relevant things.
00:22:06.000And so, I just see them and I talk about what I like or don't like.
00:22:09.000But there are a lot of people who actually watch a lot of it, and then, when I see comments from people saying, like, oh, Tim, you do it better, I don't understand what they mean, because I don't watch myself.
00:27:26.000Yeah, he used to fight for working class people, like labor unions, and all of a sudden he gets up on stage in 2016 and said, if you're white, you don't know what it's like to be poor.
00:28:13.000And then the next segment we have is we're going to talk about how fat these body positivity people, for years, have condemned people to an early coronavirus death.
00:28:21.000Oh, it sounded like you were saying, we're going to talk about how fat these body positivity people are.
00:28:31.000I wonder if you could go back in time today and go to these body positivity people and be like, I'm from the future, here's proof, you're killing these people.
00:28:39.000I wonder if that would change their tune.
00:29:47.000Yeah, they're just San Francisco ideologically driven, and so when it comes to political pressure, they'll nuke your channel without warning, and they'll shut off your income.
00:30:40.000Yeah, if I'm gonna play, like, some 8-bit looking game, I'm gonna actually go back and play some of my favorites from the past that are actually 8-bit.
00:30:48.000I'm sure Minecraft's fun, you know, just because it's got like a retro graphic style.
00:30:52.000Well, if I'm going to play a sandbox game, I'll play GTA.
00:30:56.000It's like you build little machines and then run people over.
00:31:00.000So they're like little knights and they like bounce and try to break your machine and then you flamethrower and then they run away on fire.
00:32:58.000Merrick says, Adam, do you remember the time I beat your sliver deck by exiling your monosauruses and you died to your pact of negation upkeep cost?
00:34:34.000It's like Trump's pushing a generic drug That could potentially reduce symptoms because apparently I was reading that we know it's an anti-malarial, it has antiviral properties.
00:34:47.000Trump isn't pushing a vaccine which can be controlled by a pharmaceutical company like many people actually are.
00:36:42.000Think about the amount of data that goes out.
00:36:43.000So if you're streaming at like Oh man, it's been a while since I've gone over streaming rates, but if you're streaming at like 2 megabits per second, let's say 4 because you're doing a really crisp high def, and it's streaming out up 4 and then down to a million people, 4 million megabits per second, it's just insane data transmission.
00:37:06.000Alpha Wolf says, thank you, Tim, for all the great journalism you do.
00:42:16.000way it's these people aren't doing it because they're like some people are
00:42:19.000desperate for money they just want more and more and more yeah but a lot of
00:42:21.000people are doing it to like build something and create something if you're
00:42:24.000working in government like Pelosi what are you building or creating you're not
00:42:27.000yeah you're literally just sitting there accruing power and wealth and
00:42:31.000manipulating your position for power and wealth that's why I'm like if I look at
00:42:34.000Bill Gates and he built a company he makes a bunch of money I'm like yeah you
00:42:39.000know he did his thing I'm not, I'm not, you know, necessarily a big fan of massive wealth disparities and ridiculous wealth, but I'm not going to complain about it.
00:42:46.000I mean, you know, people made money, but people in government.
00:42:51.000They're just tricking people into giving up their power.
00:43:55.000The sense of self versus the government, which is supposed to be for all of us, isn't it?
00:44:00.000Somebody who's like, I need to make more money so I can grow my business is different from someone being like, how can I lie to people to get their money?
00:44:08.000So I look at someone like, and I don't mean to single out Pelosi on this, I mean like basically all politicians.
00:44:14.000You've got someone in the private sector saying, what can I make that somebody's gonna want and they will trade me money for it?
00:44:23.000In government, they're like, how can I trick someone into giving me their money?
00:44:36.000Yeah, but I think there's a lot of social programs that do well, but all we end up getting are people exploiting the system, government, to gain power.
00:45:32.000So there's been a few things that Tulsi has kind of flip-flopped on and I've been confused by, but for the most part I think she's genuine and trying to do good and doesn't want to be a, you know, keys to the castle kind of person.
00:46:43.000Yeah, they have Destroyers, but we have ships that are just, you know, it's like, it reminds me of, or you've got the Destruction ships, and you have the Life ships.
00:46:52.000It's cool, I had never seen them actually.
00:46:54.000They're all white with, you know, the cross.
00:47:56.000It's like, someone's gonna be like, okay, my existence is under threat.
00:48:00.000I'll agree to your rules, and then behind your back, not abide by them.
00:48:04.000And that's what we end up seeing in a lot of these countries is people don't care about rules of engagement.
00:48:08.000And so the Americans, who are like Iraq and Afghanistan, are under these constraints.
00:48:13.000We'll go to prison for like, you know, there's one story that's really contentious where a guy on a motorcycle got shot, so they said it was murder, and the guy said he was fearing for his life, and they said it doesn't matter, rules of engagement.
00:48:25.000I'm not going to get into the full story because I'm not, you know, well-versed on it enough because people have pushed back.
00:48:30.000But you have these people who will put bombs on kids.
00:49:38.000You'll be sleeping in your room, and she will be in the hall, looking into your room, just like, with her head around the corner, staring at you while you sleep.
00:49:45.000And you're like, I'll walk up and be like, What are you doing?
00:50:40.000It's not really funny, but it's like, in the context of the people who don't believe this is happening, it was seasonal flu deaths compared to coronavirus, and the flu is like a wave that goes up and then down, and the COVID is like straight up.
00:52:51.000I didn't even know it was a thing until I read her post that like, look, she was all decked out because even though she had it, you can still get reinfected, I guess.
00:53:01.000Because she has the antibodies built up, she was given plasma to the hospital, and that's a cool side of this that I didn't really expect.
00:53:09.000I was like, two years, a year and a half to the vaccine, but if we can help by giving our plasma, if you have gotten it, and built up your antibodies for it, that's cool.
00:53:21.000When this was kind of kicking into high gear around last month, I was like, hey look man, I'm looking at the stuff I'm seeing what these countries are doing and I really believe it because these countries don't shut down their economies.
00:53:31.000Billionaires don't give up their money for no reason.
00:53:35.000But it was still like I wasn't seeing anybody with it.
00:53:38.000Now when I go on Facebook, people I know and trust and have known for a decade, two decades, I'm seeing their posts being like, I'm doing okay, just want to let you know.
00:55:17.000Talbot says, watching celebs try to YouTube is like watching a kid with a mixed bag of half-melted Lego Duplo Mega Bloks and a few random technic trying to build a car and smiling awkwardly as it doesn't work.
00:56:12.000You know, it's a much different situation than like a pre-prepared, you know, exactly how to, when to hit those punchlines, you know, all the different, you know, segments, whatever.
00:57:40.000He said something recently, several months ago, it was probably last year actually, that the reason the media keeps smearing and lying about what's going on is because Trump goes after their ego and they take the bait.
00:57:53.000And so they end up trying to get him instead of just reporting and it plays into this narrative that they're fake news and they're lying because they are.
00:58:01.000And it's got worse and worse and now look where we're at.
00:58:04.000And you know, Jon Stewart praised the president on the 9-11 victims fund and all that stuff.
00:58:40.000All right, let's see what we got here.
00:58:41.000Gregory says, if AOC had stocks in a solar panel company, she would be praised for putting her money where her mouth is or something ridiculous like that.
00:59:13.000And this talk of these YouTubers that are being cut off, it's like, if it were to happen to us, I would want to continue this.
00:59:20.000This is fun, and I get a lot of my information from you.
00:59:26.000That's why they would want to cut it off.
00:59:27.000I know a lot of people watch your stuff too and you know because of that because it's like a legitimate or at least it feels legitimate you know for most people and it is as far as I'm concerned you know it's like a good like viewpoint that that you do say this is what's good this is what's bad you were just you know commending Jon Stewart for doing that and you do that you know so there are a few people that do it you know so it's I think that the big challenge I don't think I don't think they're gonna cut you off because We'll see.
01:00:42.000They're still here talking and watching me.
01:00:44.000And they were like, hey, you're all right, Tim.
01:00:46.000Like, I'm like, dude, I want and encourage you to come in.
01:00:49.000I remember I got raided one time by a bunch of I was I was filming a Trayvon
01:00:54.000Martin thing and a bunch of conservatives raided.
01:00:56.000And I guess they thought that they were because like they probably didn't know
01:01:00.000And they probably thought they were getting some like activist stream.
01:01:03.000And I was like, wow, this is really, really cool that all these people are coming in and expressing themselves and talking about how they feel about this.
01:03:43.000And then I think that gave me a big enough boost and like a snowball rolling down a hill to where my channels got big enough to where YouTube kind of backed off.
01:03:51.000But I had already been given guideline strikes.
01:03:54.000I had already had videos removed and stuff and forced out.
01:04:58.000At a certain point, would it be a good idea for me to actually do that?
01:05:03.000To nuke all of my channels, because it's over a million subscribers, to make a political point about the right to freedom of speech.
01:05:10.000Sacrifice my income, my job, my livelihood, to make that point.
01:05:14.000Or would it be worse, because now the next several years of content I could have produced breaking through the fake news have been removed?
01:06:24.000I was like, we definitely got to make sure Lydia has a microphone so that she can, you know, chime in and do sources and fetching and stuff.
01:06:30.000And then everyone's like, you need to get a camera.
01:06:31.000And we're like, oh, we'll definitely get a camera.
01:08:28.000Joey Eagle says, Trump is real and gets to the point.
01:08:31.000I don't like how all is handled, but we need to stop footing, you know, pee footing around, take care of us, and then move forward for sure.
01:08:39.000I will mention the good thing about Voldemort's last name is that it's so specific to actually say.
01:08:44.000It's very easy to spot before you read it.
01:08:45.000rat and locust plagues, crop failures, et cetera.
01:08:47.000If model is correct, 30 plus years famines.
01:08:50.000You know, I will mention the good thing about Voldemort's last name is that it's so specific
01:08:56.000to actually say, it's very easy to spot before you read it.
01:09:30.000I will also say of Adam that he is correct in your conviction.
01:09:36.000When Adam skates, Committing is, so when it comes to skating, there's a few factors in getting a trick.
01:09:43.000Committing to the trick is very, very serious, meaning like you're in the air, the board's flipping, and you have to focus and say, I'm going to do it.
01:09:50.000One of the biggest things that skateboarders will back away on is not committing to doing it, and they'll bail, meaning they'll kick their board away.
01:10:29.000Now it's really hard to go to a long board once you get the technique, the techniques of, uh, you know, a short board is so much more fun, I think.
01:11:21.000The World Health Organization has got a lot of criticism coming their way.
01:11:24.000Tony L says, Tim, I just learned that Reporters Without Borders made a Minecraft server so they could get around the banning of news articles and such.
01:11:31.000I thought this was a cool thing to share.
01:13:49.000Lucian says, Hey Tim, if you ever want to play an absolutely filthy commander deck, you need to make a goblin commander deck using Krenko Mob Boss.
01:13:57.000I do, yeah, well I have Krenko in my Purphoros, which is like a fairly stock Purphoros, and it's pretty bonkers.
01:14:28.000Alright, I'm gonna start speeding things up, unfortunately, because we're getting absolutely inundated with superchats, but I appreciate all of you guys.
01:15:18.000Ryan Stewart says, counter-argument to term limits.
01:15:21.000If I want to keep Rand Paul in the Senate because I like him and his principles, why shouldn't the states have the right to elect who they want?
01:15:29.000Jay Mack says, nothing has made me more libertarian than serving in the U.S.
01:15:32.000military, starting my own business and having kids.
01:15:34.000Government can take care of the background stuff, but I don't count on people who don't know me to have my best interests in mind, for sure.
01:16:19.000Callum says, my GF and I have been living at my grandparents' country farm for a month now, and y'all made us feel less weird for leaving a big city when we did.
01:17:57.000And then the soy thing, it's like, actually, you know, Tim was telling me that soy products actually raise testosterone because there's less estrogen, or it's like a different kind of estrogen.
01:18:07.000Go ahead, you explain it better than I do.
01:18:09.000I'm not a nutritionist, but I was just reading it's phytoestrogen, I think.
01:18:14.000Which is a weaker form that blocks the receptors so the natural estrogens in your body do not hit the receptors.
01:20:05.000And so this is people who are at risk for COVID.
01:20:08.000So right now, we were talking about this and we were like, somebody's gotta do a video on this and just call out these body positivity obese people who have like, they've encouraged this bad behavior which is now getting people sick and hurt.
01:20:23.000So here we have this story from April 5th.
01:20:26.000Campus Reform says, well here's a picture I guess, two University of Wisconsin-La Crosse professors who call themselves the Two Fat Professors, oh that's literally what they call themselves, there you go, are concerned that coronavirus is causing fat phobia.
01:20:40.000Darcy Thune, author of Am I Fat, you are, in the International Fat Studies Handbook, what?! !
01:21:45.000They say... Thun wrote her piece, Diet Culture at the End of the World, in response to the many number of posts that have popped up on her social media sites addressing fears about weight gain.
01:21:55.000According to the professor, these posts shame viewers for not going to the gym, for eating too much, for getting fat, and for not starving ourselves at the end of the world.
01:22:04.000and are representative of a problematic diet culture.
01:22:08.000The blog post repeatedly refers to those who are cognizant of their weight
01:22:11.000as part of a diet culture. Thun criticizes those who speak out against weight gain
01:22:17.000and characterize it as dangerous, saying they feed into a system of fat phobia
01:22:21.000that oppresses and abuses so many. Oh man.
01:22:24.000I think the author is portraying something that isn't an issue.
01:22:28.000Brandon Misich, a sophomore at UW-La Crosse and campus reform correspondent,
01:22:33.000told Campus Reform, You know why I take the biggest issue with these of all of
01:22:42.000I was watching, there's a commercial that airs on Fox all the time, and it's like, it's like, are you overweight and struggling?
01:22:49.000It may actually be due to a condition called insulin resistance, and if you take this medication or whatever, and I'm like, that just means you eat too much sugar.
01:22:59.000It's like, I watched this show, I can't remember what it was, But there was this woman who was really overweight, and all of these people kept saying that the reason they were overweight was because of genetics, and they were adamant they didn't even eat that much.
01:23:12.000And so they were asked, like, how often do you eat?
01:23:14.000And they wrote down, like, for breakfast I have this, for lunch I have this, for dinner I have this.
01:23:21.000In what they wrote down, they said, like, for breakfast I have, you know, like, two eggs and, like, some toast and a bowl of oatmeal, for lunch I have a sandwich, and for dinner I have a small, light, you know, dinner.
01:23:30.000And so, looking at it, they're like, see?
01:24:28.000But the people who want to call you an oppressor because you don't eat cookies all day, or because you would tell someone, I'm concerned about your health, these people are insane.
01:27:48.000The parent company knows that they've got a bunch of fat women who eat their ice cream, who feel bad when they use beautiful skinny models.
01:27:57.000So how do you keep them buying your soap and buying your ice cream?
01:28:19.000And so the reason why you're seeing fat superheroes, mostly women, like it's like really fat female superheroes, is because they're trying to cater to the people who are fat.
01:28:34.000If 10% of your population is fat, it's a small market share.
01:28:37.000And so people aren't going to market to them because it's not a path towards a successful business.
01:28:42.000When 40% of your population are, don't be surprised when these fat professors come out and start saying that you're fatphobic and you're an oppressor.
01:28:52.000The reason why so many feminists are agreeing with it is because they're fat.
01:28:56.000They're fat and they want an excuse for why they don't have to be responsible for their weight.
01:29:14.000Yeah, this made me really mad when I was losing weight because they were turning me into some kind of oppressor because I was actually trying to lose weight and actually kind of succeeding at it slowly.
01:29:25.000It requires a lot of adjustment and it requires a lot of like going against the grain because all of these people will tell you you're being oppressed if you're trying to lose weight or worse yet you are oppressing other people.
01:31:13.000Yeah, the final sentence is, while some of these articles clarified Obama's meaning in the text, the headline claims presented were a mischaracterization of their argument.
01:31:28.000He didn't say it while eating ice cream.
01:31:30.000Yeah, that's really the... But what's the context they're trying to bring up?
01:31:34.000Like, Obama was insulting Trump or something?
01:31:37.000As one example of this pragmatic approach, Obama suggested reframing the quest for racial equality as part of the American concept of equality and opportunity.
01:32:12.000They're like, I'm disabled, and I'm poor, and I'm this, this, and this, and I'm on food stamps or whatever, and I'm like, What is there to be proud of here?
01:32:50.000Because to them, you being a regular person advocating for a healthier living and exercise is like the same distance from regular person to the fascist.
01:35:50.000I think one of the issues is, with a lot of people who are overweight, I wonder if the problem is that they're trapped in an addiction cycle, because eating too much doesn't feel good.
01:36:03.000But I will tell you, if I eat too much, I can't skate.
01:36:11.000So you have to like, eat only a little, then you can skate, you feel real good, you get that, you know, you get a runner's high if you're running or whatever, you get the dopamine from accomplishing your goals, and then exercise actually suppresses your appetite.
01:36:24.000So you get trapped in a cycle where you're eating and it makes you feel bad and you don't want to get up and move around and then you just feel bad.
01:37:09.000I think it was a flop though because the marketing budget was really really high.
01:37:13.000So here's what's bounding into comics reports.
01:37:16.000Kathy Yan spoke on the performance of her big studio debut, Birds of Prey, which floundered in its opening weekend and swiftly made it to digital VOD in the wake of the ongoing pandemic.
01:38:02.000She told The Hollywood Reporter everyone was pretty quick to jump on a certain angle after the film's lack of success and added she had an extra burden on her as a woman of color.
01:38:22.000There were also undue expectations on a female-led movie, and what I was most disappointed in
01:38:27.000was this idea that perhaps it proved that we weren't ready for this yet.
01:38:32.000That was an extra burden that, as a woman of color director, I already had on me anyway.
01:38:36.000So yes, I think there were certainly different ways you could interpret the success or lack of success of the movie, and everyone has a right to do that.
01:38:44.000But I definitely do feel that everyone was pretty quick to jump on a certain angle.
01:39:45.000So there was one scene where Huntress is looking in the mirror trying to like say her name, and it's Mary Elizabeth Winstead who is very attractive.
01:39:53.000But they dress her down and they made her look bad.
01:39:56.000It's like, look, any person who wakes up and rolls out of bed is not going to look good.
01:41:39.000The reason why we choose escapism, why we go into fictional fantasy worlds, is to live better, to experience things that we can't normally experience.
01:41:49.000So when we play video games, when we read comics, when we watch movies, we want to see the super ripped Captain America guy jumping off a building, falling 20 stories, and then rolling out of it and going like, ugh!
01:41:59.000And you know, he's showing how strong he is.
01:42:42.000It was basically about, well not the new one, but the movie and the comic, it's about people who are superheroes and they just wear masks and fight.
01:42:50.000So that's cool that we're looking at the best a human could possibly be.
01:42:57.000It was frumpy, overweight, out of shape, failures.
01:43:03.000I was watching this movie and I was like, well, they're making me feel better about how I look when I get up in the morning, but that's not what I'm here for.
01:44:03.000I have long, curly hair, and I've got dreads in my hair sometimes that I need to Get rid of, you know, as I said, I don't really take care of my hair.
01:44:10.000Just kind of shove it in this beanie and that's it.
01:45:34.000And so they basically removed her and created this chubby little Asian girl who in no way is Batwoman and people were angry saying that they just ableist washed or whatever they call it.
01:45:44.000There's no way, look, they think they're morally justified to making bad content with frumpy characters that are unappealing because it's morally right.
01:45:53.000No, dude, I want to see a dude who's like doing stupid things like Fast and the Furious.
01:45:58.000I want to see The Rock hold a helicopter by a chain and pull the helicopter off from a cliff.
01:47:36.000I'm not going to get anybody's gaze at this rate.
01:47:38.000Well, it was rated R so that you couldn't get young girls, even though I saw in all the malls when I was in the young clothing shops, the exact same outfits that are skimpy and small.
01:48:06.000I'm not saying anything about those people, but if that's all you're catering to, and you're expecting the comic book Batman, the Joker fans, that's not what this movie was.
01:49:37.000But this was definitely, I mean the scene where she like squats on the roller skates and then Banshee screams at her butt and projects her forward.
01:49:48.000What were they thinking with this man?
01:51:49.000Because, you know, if he wants to be the face of the company and be the CEO, then he has to, you know, expect people will criticize him, for sure.
01:51:55.000But I don't think he really has anything to do with it.
01:51:57.000So CNBC reports Twitter CEO set aside $1 billion in square equity for charity, coronavirus relief.
01:52:17.000For that small little sliver of human beings that have that amount of wealth, If they could even spend it in their lifetime, I don't even know if it's possible.
01:52:27.000But for this man to give up almost a third of it, just to help everyone, that's props to this dude, man.
01:52:36.000We'll grab the context and then we'll talk about it.
01:52:38.000They say Square and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said Tuesday, He will set aside $1 billion in his Square equity to support relief efforts for COVID-19 and other causes once the pandemic is over.
01:52:47.000In a series of tweets, Dorsey said that after the pandemic is over, he will dedicate the money to causes like universal basic income and girls' health and education.
01:52:56.000He said he's pulling the shares from his stake in Square instead of Twitter because he owns more stock in Square.
01:53:02.000Dorsey said he'll cash in the shares over time.
01:53:05.000The impact this money will have should benefit both companies over the long term because it's helping the people we want to serve.
01:53:13.000Dorsey said that he wants to see the impact of his donation during his lifetime and that the needs are increasingly urgent.
01:53:20.000He also said he hopes it will inspire others to do something similar.
01:53:22.000That's the others I was talking about.
01:53:24.000The others who have that, that don't need it.
01:53:59.000So 50 million is like chump change for someone like him.
01:54:02.000Jack Dorsey is a pretty lefty dude, and I think there's a lot of people like him that are good spirited, misguided perhaps, and that can lead to really negative things.
01:54:16.000You know, they say the path to hell is paved with good intentions.
01:54:55.000But relative to how much she's earned, you know, when I see somebody who's making minimum wage give up like a hundred bucks a week, then that's, that's legit.
01:55:04.000That's like a huge portion of your income.
01:57:40.000So his net worth is certainly higher than a lot of people.
01:57:42.000Now, this will be interesting, because he might say he wants to do a bunch of good things with this, but what do you think happens when you just pour money out a window, right?
01:57:52.000Reminds me of that Family Guy episode where Peter gets in the blimp with Brian and they dump bags of money into the football stadium.
02:00:35.000I mean, look, he's personally giving up a lot of money, regardless of what the value of the stock is.
02:00:41.000It's his but it's personally his how much how much stock does he have left in the company?
02:00:46.000Presumably a bit more maybe even another 20 million shares And how much does he is he is he hoping this might actually drive up the value, but I'll tell you what man.
02:00:58.000I've been thinking about a long time about a really great marketing game, like a marketing plan, where companies would compete to do the most social good.
02:01:07.000And imagine if, like, McDonald's would have like a budget, a ridiculous budget for a commercial, a million bucks, two million bucks.
02:01:13.000I'm like, what could you do with that in terms of social good?
02:01:17.000What if instead of doing a commercial where The Rock shows up in a parachute and breaks through the roof of McDonald's and then orders a Big Mac, I'm just being silly.
02:01:24.000What if instead of paying all that money, you took a cell phone and filmed yourself paying people's medical bills?
02:01:59.000But if you look at how much money they spend on stupid things like a zebra breaks through, you know, the window and then like Mountain Dew is exploding through the pipes and people are like, whoa, we spent all that money.
02:02:10.000I would actually be more inclined to buy the product if they were like, instead of wasting all that money, we filmed an extremely low budget commercial, helped a bunch of people, we found some people who lost their jobs and we helped them start a business.
02:02:28.000If they had a 30 second commercial where the guy was like, I am straight up and unashamedly telling you that we dumped this money in an effort to get your attention, Because we figured what better way to get your attention than to literally spend money doing something really, really great that can't be ignored.
02:03:22.000Yeah, because they were like, why is the pizza, like, they call it late stage capitalism, that pizza companies are required to fix this stuff.
02:04:50.000Well, if Jack Dorsey was, you know, he's like, I would like to download my brain into a chip that I can plant in other bodies and transfer my consciousness.
02:04:57.000You're going to need a bit more than a billion dollars.
02:06:39.000Well, so the idea is that by transfusing youthful blood, it actually repairs, like, your blood is now younger, and so it's healthier, and it makes your body look better.
