On today's show, we discuss the removal of our most popular episodes from YouTube, the Biden Plane Crash, and a viral video about furries having litter boxes in the bathrooms. Plus, a new limited edition batch of Casper Coffee and much, much more.
00:00:10.000Today we got a notification from YouTube that our two biggest episodes, featuring Joe Rogan, Michael Malice, Alex Jones, and many others, had been removed for retroactive policy enforcement.
00:00:23.000I spent some time on the phone with Google.
00:00:27.000I'm angrily discussing this, and there's a lot to break down in this, but it's an election year.
00:00:34.000And so three years, and for one of the episodes longer than three years, four years, but between three and four years after these shows had already aired, and they had no policy violations, they come back and make up fake reasons as to why these episodes are being removed from YouTube.
00:00:53.000What they told us effectively said to me, we cannot be on YouTube.
00:00:59.000My only options would be to delete and purge every single show and clip from this YouTube channel based on what they told me.
00:01:07.000And then they said, no, no, no, no, don't do that.
00:01:10.000But we'll get into all the finer details as we begin to talk about, there's a lot to break down.
00:01:15.000I'm gonna get into the dirt and grime of how the business operates, why we do the things we do, what our moves are going to be going forward.
00:01:24.000I've already had discussions with some top men, top men, and I think everyone's gonna be very, very excited as to what this means because YouTube basically just said, we don't want you, we don't like you, get the out.
00:01:38.000So, let me save the greater details for the actual segment, because we're doing the intros, but we do have a lot of other news.
00:01:44.000Biden, I guess, is claiming that something happened with the plane crashes.
00:01:52.000Alright, we got to make sure we get politics in there.
00:01:54.000I don't know that there's anything too tremendous politically, but I think the biggest story, actually, was Bloomberg writing that The UAE's attempt at weather manipulation resulted in mass flooding, which is wreaking havoc on the country.
00:02:10.000And now you've got all these articles popping up from the left, like, no, it's a conspiracy theory!
00:02:13.000Weather modification did not cause the Great Flooding!
00:02:18.000And according to Bloomberg, the cloud seeding made these floods substantially worse.
00:02:23.000Major backfire in government weather manipulation, I guess.
00:02:26.000So, uh, we'll talk about that as well.
00:02:28.000And then we have this viral video where children staged a walkout of their school, complaining that furries have litter boxes in the bathrooms.
00:02:36.000The guy filming the video says, I heard that was a rumor.
00:02:40.000Now, we've not confirmed this independently, so I think it's important to take all that information with a grain of salt, but I really don't believe someone orchestrated 70 children leaving a building and lying about something.
00:02:52.000And Occam's Razor would suggest these kids are pissed off about furries in their school and litter boxes in their bathrooms, so we'll talk about that... Before we do, ladies and gentlemen, head over to casbrew.com.
00:03:16.000Somewhere you can hang out, meet like-minded individuals, share an honest cup of joe, and talk about ideas, and get organized, and build community.
00:03:24.000Something that is tremendously antithetical to the authority establishment plans.
00:03:31.000They want you living in a pod, eating the bugs in virtual reality, and we want to resist that.
00:03:36.000Now, the coffee's delicious, don't get me wrong, but I recommend you buy it.
00:03:40.000Appalachian Nights is everybody's favorite.
00:03:41.000We are now sold out of ReRise with Roberto Jr., but there's going to be a small limited batch popping up of 700 bags.
00:03:47.000We're going to be selling those at about $7 each, just to move them, because we had the extra bags lying around, so we're going to brew some of the fresh coffee.
00:03:55.000Appalachian Nights, of course, is the best.
00:03:56.000And when you buy Casper Coffee, the money that we're getting from it, we're not taking any profits or anything out right now.
00:04:03.000Hopefully in the future it's a big profitable company.
00:04:05.000It's all being reinvested into setting up these physical locations.
00:04:08.000In Martinsburg, if you're a member of TimCast.com's Elite Club, that is, you click join us and it's 100 bucks a month, you're gonna get a key fob.
00:04:16.000You're gonna be able to walk up to the building in the secret side entrance and boop, you're way right on in, walk upstairs and hang out in the club.
00:04:24.000But become a member at TimCast.com for 10 bucks a month and you'll get access to our Discord server where you can hang out and chat with like-minded individuals and network digitally.
00:04:32.000It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing.
00:04:35.000And you'll get access to our members-only uncensored shows, where you can even call in if you are a member.
00:04:41.000Now, more importantly, I think it's important to stress that this show, right now, if it weren't for TimCast members, it would not exist.
00:04:49.000The cost of flying out guests, putting up people in hotels, paying for the staff, the drivers and the coordination and all that stuff is very expensive.
00:04:55.000So we are only able to do this because you guys are members.
00:04:59.000So naturally when YouTube effectively declares war on us, and there's a lot I'll break down in that.
00:06:47.000It's rare, but it happens last minute thing, you know, and so, you know, then you got the animal surge that just steps up every chance every moment.
00:06:54.000Yeah, we'll just we'll just make sure to talk more tonight.
00:06:59.000People watch, like, people watch the show, I mean, the guests are obviously, it's great to have the guests and stuff like that to get a different perspective, but people really do watch the show because- You're a guest, Phil!
00:07:09.000Yeah, it's kind of like, what do you do in your normal life, this show, this show?
00:07:12.000I was trying to get Richie Jackson to come.
00:07:14.000Actually, the first person we tried calling was Libby, and I was like, we'll just see if Libby can come in and fill in the seat because she comes on all the time, and she was unavailable, and I was like, I know who needs to come on the show.
00:07:42.000Well, you're not, you're never not a Marine.
00:07:43.000Once you're a Marine, you're always a Marine.
00:07:45.000So there's a former because you were, you know, you were in service and you're, when you're not in service and you can be called a former Marine.
00:07:51.000But I was calling Richie Jackson, too.
00:07:52.000I was like, you know, he's a wild, crazy guy.
00:07:54.000But everybody just was like, man, it was a perfect storm of everybody dipping.
00:08:38.000Then I went to physical training and I almost passed out because I was really pushing it.
00:08:42.000I heard you were talking about like your blood pressure was like, you felt like you were gonna, or no, your watch was telling you that you maxed out, yeah.
00:08:49.000Yeah, yeah, I had about 33 minutes of VO2 max, and then as soon as this, I get a message from Dane, our social media guy, and he's like, hey, take a look at this.
00:08:56.000And it says your videos have been removed.
00:08:58.000So two of the biggest, the two biggest, TimCast IRL shows on YouTube were deleted.
00:09:07.000Three years after they aired, with retroactive policy enforcement, that they claim were always in effect, but only now they decided to remove.
00:09:18.000The biggest episode on YouTube, of course, was Joe Rogan, Alex Jones, Blair White, Michael Malice, me, I believe Luke Rikowsky was there, Ian was there, was there, Drew Hernandez was there, it was a massive show
00:09:47.000You guys know, we've deleted episodes live during the show, and we've been working on engineering a dump button, which basically means if there's ever a policy violation, we hit a button, and then there's a delay, so that whatever violated the rules never appears, and we don't have to take the show down anymore.
00:10:07.000The other episode was the Michael Malice Alex Jones episode, which was our second biggest, which we did after they took down the first one.
00:10:15.000Alex Jones and Michael Malice came on the show.
00:11:01.000And so a week later, Alex and Michael came back and that was at the time our biggest episode ever, the Try Me YouTube episode.
00:11:09.000I can only assume they were not happy we did that, but I got to tell you, before we even had Alex Jones on, I emailed our liaison at Google and said, what are the rules pertaining to Alex Jones?
00:12:14.000Immediately after this happened, I get an email and they're like, we just want to let you know we took these episodes down.
00:12:18.000And I said, three years after these episodes aired, you're now claiming a policy violation.
00:12:24.000And they're like, well, it was always against the rules.
00:12:27.000And I said, okay, here's what we're going to do.
00:12:29.000I will instruct my social media guy right now to delete every single video off the Tim Cast IRL channel.
00:12:35.000We will air the episodes, and a week later, delete them from the platform.
00:12:38.000We will put the clips up, and a week later, delete them from the platform, because that is the only thing we can do based on retroactive policy enforcement.
00:12:46.000If you tell us what we're doing is fine, and we behave in that way for three years, I've got a thousand episodes.
00:13:41.000Then someone at the highest level of Google or YouTube came down to you guys and said, delete those episodes, I don't want them on the platform, make up a reason.
00:13:51.000And you're telling me it's fine, and we're not gonna get banned, because you know it's political, and it was someone at Google who ordered the shows to be removed.
00:13:59.000If that is not the case, then you have retroactively placed policy enforcement actions against us, which leaves me with no alternative but to delete every video off this channel, otherwise at any moment we could be banned.
00:14:12.000And they said, no, no, I don't know, I can't tell you that.
00:14:33.000And then people ask us why the live show isn't on Rumble.
00:14:37.000The live show is the biggest driver of memberships at TimCast.com, which is the only way we're able to do all of this.
00:14:45.000If we downsized and became like a digital over-the-air show where we just Skype people in and stuff like that, Sure, that shaves off a ton of money from our budget, and we could make things a lot cheaper, but I think one of the things that makes the conversations on the show work better, and I've talked to a lot of people in the industry about it, and everyone agrees, is in-person conversations in real life.
00:15:10.000That means right now, based on how much it costs to run this show, drivers, staff, hotels, etc., the amount of members we have is maintaining.
00:15:21.000The amount of memberships we have is at a decent amount where we make a little bit more every month than we spend on the show, which gives us the ability to invest in other projects.
00:15:32.000My concern when I talk to all these other big companies and they're like, we want TimCast IRL live here, here, or here, or otherwise, is that the clips don't drive a lot of memberships.
00:15:42.000The live show does because once we wrap the live show, we say, hey, the show continues at TimCast.com.
00:15:48.000Become a member to watch the members only uncensored.
00:15:51.000With that, we are maintaining a slight growth.
00:15:54.000We have a slight uptick, a little bit, in how many members we have, but we don't grow a whole lot.
00:16:02.000And this means, based on the model we have, the show can continue.
00:16:07.000If we were to stop doing live on YouTube the way we are, divide it up to other platforms, we run the risk of deranking, we run the risk of losing a large portion of what funds the show, driving new members, and then we become a sinking ship.
00:16:23.000We would have to start firing staff, cutting corners, reducing investment in projects.
00:16:32.000So the conversations we've had with other big networks has been, can you cover the costs of how much we make through YouTube in ad revenue, so that if we make this move, and we lose money, we stay afloat for at least a certain amount of time?
00:16:47.000And typically the answers have been, I don't know, maybe.
00:16:52.000And I say, okay, well then we're gonna keep doing what we're doing on YouTube because the live show generates the memberships that make the show work.
00:17:07.000Uh, I'm friends with Chris Pavlovsky, he's a great dude.
00:17:09.000We use Rumble infrastructure for TimCast.com.
00:17:11.000We use Parallel Economy for our memberships.
00:17:12.000We are absolutely utilizing their infrastructure, and they make money from it, we make money from it, because we want to build the Parallel Economy.
00:17:57.000We are currently having conversations with some other companies.
00:18:00.000Now that YouTube has made these moves, there is renewed interest in how we can make these changes.
00:18:05.000I don't want to say too much because business negotiations are ongoing, but there are some potentially big moves that may happen based on this.
00:18:12.000I think what we're seeing with YouTube is a few things.
00:18:15.000Just yesterday, many people noticed the view count on the show was going all wild and crazy, but that wasn't unique to us.
00:18:21.000It affected tons of other YouTubers and channels that were noticing weird issues pertaining to live and view count.
00:18:26.000And the day before, something similar happened.
00:18:28.000View counts crashed on a bunch of videos and people were like, whoa, my video didn't get any traffic.
00:19:11.000And so, I said, if you email me and say, due to this, that, or otherwise, we're going to remove these videos from your channel, don't worry, no effect to you.
00:19:23.000But when you issue a warning on my channel, you are saying we are prepared to ban you permanently.
00:19:28.000We are prepared to take you down for a week the next time this happens.
00:19:32.000With any one of your videos from the past four years, it could happen.
00:19:35.000We are prepared to permanently ban you if we can find three more videos over the past four years that we can interpret as breaking the rules, your show is permanently banned in every respect off of YouTube.
00:19:50.000The only thing I can do is delete every single video.
00:19:54.000I don't think it's a coincidence that it's 2024, we knew things were going to get crazy this year, and now YouTube has taken such an extreme and drastic action such as a 3 year retroactive enforcement.
00:20:45.000Everyone will look very thin with these cinematic beautiful cameras.
00:20:50.000We're also going to be planning a change to how we broadcast the show but Considering what just happened, there are some business happenings behind the scenes.
00:21:00.000I'd have no problem telling everybody literally what those plans are and what we're negotiating on, but because it involves third parties who are negotiating as well, it's a violation of their privacy.
00:21:32.000It's not really a secret, I've mentioned this before.
00:21:34.000What I pay myself in terms of a salary comes from the Tim Pool Daily Show, which is youtube.com slash timcastnews.
00:21:41.000That show alone generates me personally, produced by me, 99%, I say 99 because sometimes someone who works here might send me something and there's moderate assistance, but I wake up, I sit down, I reach the news, I monologue, I make a million dollars a year.
00:21:57.000It is just above a million bucks off of that morning show alone.
00:22:02.000If I did not do TimCast IRL, I would work a regular shift, have the rest of the day for family and travel.
00:22:09.000I could do the show literally anywhere in the world with my girlfriend.
00:22:12.000I could live in the mountains and we could ski all year round and do whatever and not have to worry about it.
00:22:17.000Timcast IRL does generate profit, and it does generate hard assets, and these things do benefit my net worth.
00:22:23.000I don't want to pretend that's not the case.
00:22:25.000I don't pay myself a salary based off what is coming from Timcast IRL, however.
00:22:28.000The overwhelming majority of the money basically covers the cost of everyone's salaries, travel, equipment, all of these things.
00:22:36.000Again, I stress, the equipment and all that does add to my net worth.
00:22:40.000But I'm not doing this, and I'm not making money from this.
00:22:44.000This is just something that is fun to do, that is important, I enjoy doing, I enjoy bringing people here, I think it's beneficial across the board, and then the small amount of excess revenue that we get basically invests in these other projects.
00:22:56.000So we've got, uh, Pop Culture Crisis, of course.
00:22:59.000We've got, uh, Shane Cashman's Inverted World Show that we're building.
00:23:02.000We've got the Boonies Skate Show that we're building.
00:23:05.000That, uh, and I will stress, the, uh, the Boonies stuff is very, very expensive, but most of the cost is the building of a new studio for the sake of TimCast IRL.
00:23:14.000So, what we need to do is There's two options.
00:23:27.000All of this nightmarish stuff for something that doesn't personally make me money that I can go spend on vacation at casinos and things like that.
00:23:34.000Again, I'll stress, like, there's profit and there's, there's a net worth gain, but it's, it's like the exponential workload compared to how much you make.
00:23:41.000It's just, I could work in the mornings and Tim pool show and make a million bucks a year and then sell sponsorships and even make more and not have to think about it.
00:23:51.000We can work a deal with a... I don't want to say too much because it's going to be up to them when we do finalize the deal, but third parties.
00:24:01.000And then attack this thing through massive marketing campaigns and basically make it a point that YouTube is not safe for your business.
00:24:13.000If you try to start on YouTube, they will, with no warning, and with no reason, and everyone already knew this, but let's stress this, they will destroy your company overnight.
00:24:24.000We have to build a parallel economy, and so that's the attack factor we're going to take.
00:24:28.000As of next week, hopefully we'll have more information on this, as to what we're doing in terms of parallel economics, and how we're going to support, fund the show, and grow the show, in defiance of YouTube's ridiculous and insane retroactive enforcement, and hopefully, We will plant the seeds.
00:24:44.000Nay, I should say, we will water the trees that have already been planted by other great people working hard on this, namely those at these other social media networks.
00:24:56.000And we will water those trees that have already been planted, and then we will supplant and displace the corrupt and crooked establishment that breaks the rules for their own personal benefit and politics.
00:25:36.000It seems like you're actually going to lose because you're giving other people more, but a rising tide raises all ships.
00:25:42.000You really end up, it can end up becoming a really, really good, it's kind of like a federation of states.
00:25:48.000Well, I don't know anything about the financials of that, but I know that $44 billion for X is a lot of money, and so he's going to have to be able to make some kind of profit off of it, at least for X. I don't know about what kind of financial situation Minds at Rumble is in.
00:26:16.000At first, it was on MySpace, but MySpace was a little clanky and I would have to embed my YouTube videos on my MySpace blog and then email them to my friends so that they could hear my thoughts.
00:26:24.000And then MySpace just What happened was one month it got so popular that it was before virtual servers.
00:27:15.000Google staffers crying when Trump won.
00:27:18.000Yeah, the ideological capture that, you know, you see in colleges when it comes to like sociology departments and stuff like that and the humanities departments, that has been going on for a decade.
00:27:34.000That's been going on for a decade and that means they've been pumping people that believe the ideology that they're taught in school.
00:27:40.000Those people have been pumped out into society.
00:27:42.000So the reason that people that are at Google and in positions of at least some kind of authority and power, that it's because they got the ideology in college.
00:27:58.000I want to preface it by saying, if you're wondering why it is that three years after we aired them, our two biggest shows on YouTube... Granted, Darren Beattie was our biggest show ever.
00:28:34.000Employees at Google staged a sit-in of their own company requiring the boss to call the police and have them physically removed and they were placed on leave and their access was severed.
00:28:47.000Now, with employees like that, I wonder how it's even possible a show like this exists.
00:28:54.000I mean, that's the whole of the tech industry or whatever, the tech companies and stuff.
00:29:02.000Obviously, it's not everybody, but because of the way that that ideology, the people operate, if you speak out too strongly or if you don't keep your head down, they go to HR and accuse you of all kinds of things and then you're out.
00:29:15.000Everyone knows that that happens basically in modern corporate America today.
00:30:51.000Look, there was that kid that burned himself alive.
00:30:53.000People are... I mean, you've got people that are so committed that they'll burn themselves alive, you know, over an ideology.
00:31:04.000I'm convinced that it's music is the solution and it's almost silly.
00:31:07.000Like I used to think I had to go find the people and then help them and I'd go around and like, I got to get to that guy and I got to get to that guy.
00:31:13.000Then I realized if I just make the best sound, people come to me and it creates like this environment of like, That was the 60s, man.
00:31:23.000That's the same thing that people have been saying since the 60s, and it didn't work then.
00:31:28.000Do you remember the South Park episode?
00:31:32.000Where the hippies are like, we gotta fight the establishment.
00:31:56.000It's not the idea that music changes the world is that music builds influence.
00:32:00.000And once you're an influential person in entertainment and pop culture, you can change hearts and minds.
00:32:04.000That's why so many people are freaked out about Taylor Swift.
00:32:07.000She commands masses of fans because she's an entertainer with music.
00:32:13.000And then she writes a song called, what is it, You Need to Calm Down, which depicts conservatives as crack-toothed yokels and insults them for not supporting the LGBTQ ideology, and that's the power of music.
00:32:27.000So perhaps it does sound a little naive, but let's translate that.
00:32:32.000Creating entertainment that people want to follow and makes them feel good gives you a path towards influencing them in a variety of ways.
00:33:04.000And you don't even have to put the lyrics in the song.
00:33:08.000Often what'll happen is you'll make a song that someone puts on repeat and listens to 20 times in a night, and then they'll go to your website and find out who you are, and then they'll just adopt your politics.
00:33:16.000They're like 19-year-olds or 14-year-olds and stuff.
00:33:20.000Real quick, the Taylor Swift song, I think it's called You Need to Calm Down, is that it?
00:33:24.000Imagine the 14 and 15 year olds who are hanging out at a bagel shop, and that song is playing, and they're not really listening, and in the background she's like, don't step on my gown, you need to calm down.
00:33:34.000That is indoctrinating young people towards these ideas.
00:33:38.000It is the radio screaming in their ears everywhere they go, right is bad.
00:33:44.000And there's a comic about this actually.
00:33:46.000It's like someone pencil drew this comic, it's great, and some guy says, you're brainwashed, and the other person says, and then it shows a music festival where the singer's like, Republicans are bad!
00:33:58.000A guy on the TV saying, Republicans are bad!
00:34:00.000A guy outside yelling, Republicans are bad!
00:34:04.000And then the person's being like, you're brainwashed actually.
00:34:07.000That that is entertainment and and and influence.
00:34:10.000Yeah, I mean that there is there is truth to that.
00:34:13.000So like if you're going to talk about being able to influence the culture, but I mean that's the that's the point of really like the overall point of just Tim cast like as a as an entity, right?
00:34:26.000Actually moves the needle, you know, I mean a friend of mine was talking today about this the situation with YouTube and stuff I think that we should reach out to some of the people in Congress we know and see if Congress will send someone one of the whether it be gates or whether it be Someone just to send a letter to Google and be like hey Did you guys take this down because of you know, why did you take this stuff down?
00:35:15.000You know, I've talked to lawyers about various platforms, and they go, well, they put those in there, but look, it really comes down to a judge, and the judge contracts don't mean much of anything.
00:35:46.000It's not the Truman Show kind of thing?
00:35:48.000But like, they said, we use an AI that calculates your life and predicts it perfectly, and so she's watching all of her private moments broadcast in the show, and everyone's like, it's you.
00:35:58.000She goes to her lawyer and says, how do I stop them from doing this?
00:36:01.000And they're like, this contract here is ironclad.
00:37:00.000They've got like they own I don't know how many Alphabet 9 companies they own under their umbrella and it's like big military tech, like really wild life extension.
00:37:08.000They're just all over the globe right now.
00:37:23.000And then Google bought it, and I was like, oh god, corporatization.
00:37:25.000And now Alphabet, and now the governments involved, we know, through like Edward Snowden's PRISM stuff, we know that the governments, and with the Twitter files and all that, we know that governments have been heavily involved, the American government, with censorship on social media.
00:37:38.000So it feels just like part of the war machine at this point.
00:37:40.000I will add, A possibility as to what happened.
00:37:47.000For the first time ever, I recorded a quick 30-second bit.
00:38:34.000Those two episodes it took down were featured in that advertisement.
00:38:38.000So I wonder if a component of this is someone working Google Ads sees an advertisement for their biggest live show on average, averaging the largest live audience on YouTube, and the two biggest episodes are Relics Jones.
00:38:53.000I wonder if a higher-up saw that and said, delete those episodes now.
00:39:27.000Yeah, these are the two biggest shows for three years and after I made an ad they deleted them clearly They're scared that you they're scared of you finding out that they had these shows I That hanging out with Alex and Joe Rogan and everybody in the RV That was like one of the more fun nights of my life so far That was a really I mean it was just an exhilarating evening to hang with those dudes and watch everyone talk What's crazy is that show to come back on it wasn't our most concurrent viewership And, but it was our most viewership after the fact.
00:40:00.000I think it had like 2.4 million views.
00:40:18.000The whole channel's on Rumble right now.
00:40:19.000So make sure you subscribe to our Rumble channel, TimCastIRL, as well as our, uh, x, uh, YouTube do- I'm sorry, uh, x.com slash TimCast?
00:40:27.000I think it's an x.com- x.com slash TimCast?
00:40:29.000It's still twitter.com, though, I think.
00:40:31.000Yeah, maybe it'll work for either Twitter.com.
00:40:33.000I think at this point anyone it's tough to say I would encourage people to multi stream just to do it and build followings on all but I bless you Tim.
00:40:45.000My pleasure that to focus it all into one platform to generate massive ad revenue on that one platform does make a lot of sense.
00:40:53.000Face value, but man just having your tentacles all over the place if you're starting out we it's if you're starting out It's it's there's a temptation to like build a platform build a following on a platform And then that's where you feel like you're at home, and you want to stay there But it is good to spread out But you a lot of times you'll need that that home base kind of platform to start you off so that way you can actually like continue to actually have a You know produce a show or whatever you know for a lot of smaller producers.
00:41:20.000I mean I And YouTube's been so good with ad revenue.
00:41:22.000The whole partner program thing, 2008, when they introduced it, that was one of the great things about Google buying YouTube is that they introduced that money, big money, and they could pay people.
00:42:24.000Let me tell you, I worked for Fusion, which was owned by Univision and ABC News, so Disney.
00:42:32.000And one of the funniest things in the world was when I was talking about some collaborations that would be great to do, they mentioned, hey, aren't those people signed to Maker Studios?
00:43:27.000So I was like, I ended up having this conversation where I'm like, do you think that these people are signed to a talent agency we own and that they have to go through us for gigs?
00:43:48.000Yeah, I was like, all this means is that their YouTube channel is part of a multi-channel network to generate revenue for their channels.
00:43:55.000And they were like, so we can't work with them?
00:43:57.000And I'm like, we can work with them the same as we can work with literally any person at any company, but that means we have to negotiate a rate, figure out who their manager and agent is, and their agent could say no.
00:44:07.000And they were like, we don't own their agency?
00:45:05.000Yeah, social capital nobody nobody will invest in a guy when he's like I care what the money they're gonna be like
00:45:10.000exactly Cuz they want to make anyone to see some money
00:45:12.000But like social capital is real if you've got a hundred people that will work for you for free
00:45:16.000That's is more valuable than a million bucks nowadays You're not gonna find a hundred people that are gonna work
00:45:19.000for you for free didn't that in the economy that we have right now
00:45:22.000See sincerely this is this is an actual This is an actual material thing that you're gonna actually
00:45:27.000have to confront if you actually want to do something like that and with people
00:45:31.000having such a hard time with making ends meet with the jobs that they have the the
00:45:35.000The value of the dollar going down so much as it has in in the past
00:45:40.000You know year or two like Getting people to work for free, you have to be able to support yourself as it is, and you've got people that can't get houses, can't start families, they can't do all kinds of things that they want to do.
00:45:51.000You hear people constantly talking about that, that they don't have the money for this, can't afford this, everything's gone up, the prices are so much, blah, blah, blah.
00:45:58.000Getting people to work for free is not going to happen.
00:46:03.000What you can do is get a bunch of exercycles and wire them to large batteries and then offer people a free exercise program to get in shape.
00:46:13.000And what they're really doing is powering your house, saving your electric bill.
00:47:02.000This is actually the big news, I gotta be honest.
00:47:05.000This is from Bloomberg.com, and I laughed a lot when I read the headline.
00:47:10.000Dubai grinds to standstill as cloud seeding worsens flooding.
00:47:14.000I would just like to stress, the headline is effectively, government weather manipulation backfires, worsening flooding.
00:47:23.000I don't wanna say it caused it, okay, maybe it did, but yo, look at this.
00:47:30.000Torrential rains across the UAE prompted flight cancellations, forced schools to shut, and brought traffic to a standstill.
00:47:36.000The heavy rains that caused widespread flooding across the desert nation came after cloud seeding.
00:47:42.000The UAE has been carrying out seeding operations since 2002 to address water security issues, even though the lack of drainage in many areas can trigger flooding.
00:47:50.000So I don't know if you guys saw these videos that were going viral.
00:47:54.000Apparently just a few days before, they do this thing where they spray potassium chloride into updrafts, which launches salts into cloud formations, which is then, it attracts water particles.
00:48:10.000It wants to absorb the water, it pulls the water in, creating a dense pocket of water that falls down as rain.
00:48:17.000I don't know if they accidentally let loose too much, but it sparked, look at this, it's a natural salt, this is potassium chloride, and it resulted in this mass flooding all over Dubai.
00:48:29.000Oh, this is kind of like a good thing.
00:48:31.000Not the flood, but the warning itself is a good thing, like that we know that this can happen.
00:48:38.000And the reason this is a terrible thing is because there are people talking about using methods to affect the amount of sunlight the planet gets
00:48:50.000in order to prevent the Earth from warming anymore.
00:48:53.000Now, first of all, the idea that the Earth warming is bad is controversial in and of itself.
00:49:01.000When human beings meddle with stuff like this, they do not have the ability to predict the outcome,
00:49:08.000which is why you have floods in Dubai, right?
00:49:12.000So this is similar to what happened with Lysenkoism in the Soviet Union.
00:49:23.000was a scientist and he rejected darwinism and this was soviet science soviets rejected darwinism and their belief was that plants that are like each other work communally this was an argument made because they they were against western science totally and they said you should plants you should plant plants that are like You know, of the same variety.
00:49:46.000You can plant them very close together because they will work as a one unit and they will be more prosperous.
00:49:54.000That is absolutely wrong and it caused a famine that killed millions and millions of people.
00:50:00.000This is what happens when the, when man thinks that he needs to affect nature on that grand
00:50:23.000They were not communist So the communists should get rid of the of the non-communist sparrows I know it sounds crazy, but that's the argument that he made And so that's what they did every time the sparrows landed people would go and chase off the sparrows.
00:50:35.000They would kill them They would they would they would you know, just whatever just to get them into the air and get them to go away What ended up happening?
00:50:42.000Was the fact that there were no sparrows, or not enough sparrows, meant that the bugs ended up creating another, like, a massive swarm of bugs that ate the crops, and there was another famine.
00:50:54.000These types of grandiose plans to affect, like, the amount of sunlight that falls on Earth are doomed, and they doom millions and millions of human beings.
00:51:43.000I have read absolutely nothing about it.
00:51:45.000And I'm going to sit here and smugly tell you he's wrong.
00:51:48.000It's a very dark, fertile, anthropogenic soil found in the Amazon basin.
00:51:52.000I don't know anything about this, but I don't believe I don't believe that the Amazon forest was created by humans.
00:52:00.000No, what happened was they made the dirt to fertilize the area while they were like that tens of thousands of years ago or whatever, could have been Atlantis, could have been an ancient civilization, and then after everything passed away, the Amazon just flourished because of this soil, this rich soil that they'd created.
00:52:13.000Right, but I don't think creating soil is comparable to chemical geoengineering.
00:53:26.000I'm not familiar with the story, but I do remember that.
00:53:28.000But this is the thing that I'm concerned about is like this type of impulse by the powers that be or whatever, NGOs, big governments, whatever you want to call it, or whoever's involved in it, because I think that they're probably it's not just just governments.
00:53:44.000And there are NGOs that are involved in stuff like the UN and stuff.
00:53:48.000The things that are going on in Europe about the farmers and the protests and trying to prevent the farmers from using certain kinds of fertilizer because of carbon and stuff like that, all of those things will have massive downstream effects on the rest of the world.
00:54:07.000And when you meddle with What actually are delicate systems, right?
00:54:12.000The system that provides food for the 8 billion people on earth is because of petrochemicals.
00:54:33.000And I think that there are people that are far too quick to think that humans have everything figured out, especially nowadays with the information and technological revolutions that we've had since just since the turn of this century, never mind last century.
00:54:47.000But this one, people frequently think, OK, we've solved these problems.
00:56:37.000And reptiles and all sorts of land-based animals have dealt with that kind of stuff for as long as there has been life on earth human beings being the the Conscious and creative and opposable thumb having Machines that we meet machines that we are we'll figure this out, too It's not the end of the world and it really does boil down to Governments are just trying to use the the climate as an excuse to control the populations populations Let me let me play this clip.
00:57:08.000This is from Damn, that's interesting on reddit and it's a clip from 1978 warning of an impending ice age check this one out At least eight times in the past million years, it has advanced and retreated with clockwork regularity.
00:57:22.000If we are unprepared for the next advance, the result could be hunger and death on a scale unprecedented in all of history.
00:57:30.000What scientists are telling us now is that the threat of an ice age is not as remote as they once thought.
00:57:37.000During the lifetime of our grandchildren, Arctic cold and perpetual snow could turn most of the inhabitable portions of our planet into a polar desert.
00:58:27.000I think that if we had to go through a real bad winter, just like we just went through, I think we'd have to think about moving someplace else.
00:59:45.000Now that they believe it's global warming and the sea levels will rise, imagine they were like, okay, we're going to, you know, enact all these policies, we're going to create these devices, these chemicals, that will make the planet warmer.
00:59:58.000Then 20 years later, they're like, uh-oh, the planet's actually warming, the exchange was wrong.
01:00:03.000Well, I'm not saying they did, I'm saying... That's interesting.
01:00:05.000If it is true that climate change is happening and the planet's getting warmer, Imagine if in 1978, they actually tried to heat up the planet out of fear of an Ice Age.
01:00:15.000This is the problem with humans thinking they're smart enough to control everything.
01:00:19.000And also, I read about, we're in what's called the Quaternary Ice Age, which started around 2.6 million years ago.
01:00:24.000So this whole thing, they were already in an Ice Age, that entire show that they were just doing, when they were like, we may enter another Ice Age.
01:00:31.000You smart humans didn't know you were in an Ice Age when you were making that video?
01:00:47.000Bro, I was just thinking, I had a vision a couple nights ago about something about, something about, you were sparking some memory about what I think, what we think something is that it's not.
01:01:53.000Well, Phil, what happened was, there was a volcanic eruption, and in this charged particulate burst, it made contact with water, and then these chemical compounds began to merge, forming proteins that began to self-replicate.
01:02:13.000Yeah, the formation of amoebas are fascinating because it's like a single cell that joins with another single cell and they work together to get the food to come in between the two of them and then other cells will come up around and become kind of like they'll curl in so the food doesn't fall out and you see like six cells working together to capture food that they can all share and then it becomes an organism and you're like oh that's a thing now and we see a six-celled organism.
01:02:34.000Pretty cool, that's a pretty good theory.
01:02:36.000And the way that fungus- evolutionary biologists would be able to tell you specifically where they think- how they think fungus evolved from, like, the tide pool.
01:02:43.000I'm not- You know, the funny thing is, the next evolution, of course, are gonna be these gigantic, creepy robots.
01:02:56.000You tweeted it out like... Hold on, before we move on to that, I want to at least make the point, they've been talking about global warming and stuff for a long, long time.
01:03:06.000The coastlines have not changed, right?
01:03:11.000There is significantly less ice on the North Pole than there was 20-30 years ago, but the coastlines have not changed.
01:05:07.000So, like, that's, they think what happened to Atlantis is that because all those ice caps just abruptly changed, Atlantis sunk down as well as got hit by a flood.
01:05:17.000But if it's not abrupt, then I don't think, yeah, if it doesn't happen all abrupt, like just in a day or three days or something, then it might be a really slow, you might be able to, There's a funny viral video.
01:05:58.000I don't imagine that Atlantis was actually real, to be honest with you.
01:06:01.000But that being said, whoever comes up with a story or whatever culture is creating the story, because I think that it is a myth, so whoever's writing the myth, they're going to make the inhabitants like them, especially a thousand years ago or whenever the story of Atlantis first started circulating or whatever.
01:06:25.000It's ridiculous to call it racist or white supremacist because...
01:06:29.000Someone is sitting around a room full of white dudes and then is imagining another, like a person a hundred years ago and they imagine a white dude.
01:06:35.000It's like people, you know, there's, there's pictures of Jesus in different cultures and there's like, there's like Japanese Jesus, there's black Jesus, Arabic Jesus and all that stuff.
01:06:43.000I think the, I think the- Swarthy Jesus.
01:06:45.000The Atlanteans had Neanderthals in prison.
01:06:47.000The last Neanderthals on earth were in prison in the Capitol and they all died in the flood.
01:06:50.000That's in my script that I'm writing anyway.
01:06:52.000That's in my, in my, it's awesome movie that is going to be produced.
01:06:55.000It's going to be the greatest movies of Atlantis ever made called The Lost City of Atlantis.
01:08:04.000I mean, I get the point of that is to show the articulation, how it's capable of moving in a great in a way that is more as more mobile than a human being.
01:08:13.000But still, there's a whole lot of man.
01:08:16.000That's the exorcist kind of movement that you look at.
01:08:18.000You're just like, when is she going to go ahead and climb on the ceiling?
01:08:21.000I'd like to contrast the two worldviews here.
01:08:24.000Lex Redmond says, Congrats to Boston Dynamics on their new electric version of Atlas Robot.
01:08:29.000Thanks to all the amazing engineering teams at Boston Dynamics, Tesla, and others pushing the field of robotics forward.
01:08:34.000I can't wait to hang out with Atlas and Optimus together at some point, Robot Party.
01:08:38.000To which I responded, I can't wait to fight these things as my friends scavenge a run-down gas station for food and I attempt to buy them time before we flee into the sewers.
01:08:46.000My thought when I saw that was, they will also be in the sewers and they can see in the dark.
01:08:58.000You'll be walking in the water and accidentally kick the thing.
01:09:01.000I mean, how much does that look like the stuff from my robot?
01:09:03.000Imagine you're in the sewer with your buddies and you have, like, a backpack and you're, like, armed.
01:09:07.000You've got limited provisions and you're, like, we need to make it through because the robots find us, they'll kill us.
01:09:11.000And then you stub your toe and you look down and there's a box and you go, Oh my god, and then it starts curling, curling up and shifting around and his arms are folding, his head spins around and then it goes like, human detected.
01:09:24.000God, it looks like T-1000, yeah, it feels like the Terminator from T-1000.
01:09:28.000So here's an honest question though, like, why would anyone assume these things would not become dangerous?
01:09:35.000Well, if you can create an intelligence, and if people that create the intelligence decide that they're gonna give it motivations, which is stuff that people that are working on AI are gonna do, because that is what is happening here.
01:09:51.000Like, we're watching, not only are we watching robotics come to a place where it can mimic human form, we're also trying to mimic human intelligence, and they're going to be combined, without question.
01:10:02.000In 50 years, there are going to be artificial intelligence, Humanoids walking around in society like that's going to be very normal.
01:10:09.000There's going to be well normally I'd say this you would think there would be some kind of flag.
01:10:16.000They would require like any artificial human humanoid robot is required to wear something or have a mark.
01:10:23.000So, you know, it's not a real person but based on how the internet evolved that won't happen.
01:10:30.000So, the internet, for example, on Axe, for instance, even with Elon Musk doing a great job, as he does, of getting rid of predators, you still have hardcore adult content on Axe, and 13-year-olds are allowed on there.
01:12:52.000I'm not sure the cost, but I imagine that they're going to be looking to be, to... It's gotta be, what, millions?
01:12:58.000Maybe now, but I mean, the... I don't know, because the... I don't know what the technology's like, but really, it's like, you're talking about electric motors and servos, so I don't know how involved it is, and I'm speaking definitely as a very ignorant person about this, but the technology is really in the software, and it's not in the servos and etc.
01:13:18.000Like, the actual motors and stuff like that, it's not...
01:13:21.000Super crazy, far-out technology to do it.
01:13:24.000The important part is the balance and the software.
01:13:28.000If it costs $30,000 for one of these robots, McDonald's replaces their staff in two seconds.
01:13:34.000Because they're going to say, over the course of three years, we are going to pay any minimum wage employee $40,000.
01:13:43.000These robots last five years and they cost $30,000 upfront.
01:14:15.000Yeah, it's like, let someone come in and break something, whatever, you've got insurance.
01:14:21.000It takes all of the concerns of safety go away aside from safety for your customers.
01:14:29.000Obviously, you want to make sure that the people that are coming to get food from there are safe, but otherwise, internally, for your business and stuff, all of the worries about OSHA and stuff, like, get out of here, who cares, you know?
01:14:43.000There's a ton of stuff, there's a ton of things that make it more appealing.
01:14:48.000This is exactly what the automotive industries did.
01:14:51.000It's just that the automotive industry has big gigantic robots that have arms and stuff like that.
01:14:56.000If the automotive industry can have these and just give them existing power tools and they can do what your average person is doing on the line, You're talking about wiping out entire industries for jobs.
01:15:12.000Have you guys seen the, uh, they have, so there was an article in the New York Post about a guy who spends $10,000 a month on AI girlfriends.
01:16:07.000It's going to be sex workers There's gonna be a bunch of, yeah.
01:16:11.000Musicians, too, maybe, because I was thinking in the shower earlier, like, geez, I, yeah, making music, it's like, it's not about the finished product.
01:16:20.000Making music is actually about making the music.
01:16:22.000It's about banging on a drum with your buddy and, like, making some sounds together.
01:16:27.000songs when Harmeet was here, she was just dismissive, saying, oh, this is stupid, it's boring, it's bad.
01:16:33.000And I think the issue for a lot of people is they assume all music is Zeppelin or The Weeknd or Taylor Swift or something like well-crafted songs when I would probably estimate, I don't know, Phil probably knows better, but I'd say like 70% of music is background instrumental stuff for jingles, for movies, for, like, most people don't realize that when you're watching a movie, There's really subtle background music the whole time, almost the entire time in films.
01:17:01.000And there's a guy who writes all that music.
01:17:03.000So you go online, you can AI generate all of that now.
01:17:07.000That's going to eliminate a large portion of money in the music industry.
01:17:11.000Well, I'm down to talk more about sex work, actually.
01:17:13.000Oh, before we go into sex work, the Boston Dynamic Robot, I got a price tag.
01:17:29.000I want to know how much this robot guy costs.
01:17:33.000I mean, this is probably like prototypes.
01:17:36.000There's probably like 20 or so of those that they've got made now.
01:17:39.000How amazing would it be to get one of those, get a realistic silicon Seamus mask, put it over its head, and then attach it to chat GPT real-time voice with Seamus's voice, and Seamus could never leave us.
01:18:13.000Actually, I mean, I gotta be honest, it's a really great thing to have because they walk into their own charger, I'm pretty sure, and they sit down.
01:18:29.000The biggest issue we have is information when it comes to security.
01:18:33.000So with all the buildings we've got, the reason we have security is because if someone comes around who shouldn't be, we need to know what's happening.
01:18:58.000And so, you can reduce the amount of security guards you have, have a couple guys who are armed, and have a couple robodogs, you cut your costs down.
01:19:29.000So you would just see these, like, two big things moving back and forth with lasers pointing, and, you know, they wouldn't actually have any capability to do anything other than look intimidating.
01:19:37.000Just follow someone if they get on motion.
01:19:40.000And what it would actually be is, you know the sprinklers that go ch-ch-ch-ch?
01:19:53.000You know, I was talking about this earlier.
01:19:54.000In West Virginia, we've had weirdos come onto the property, assuming nobody's there.
01:19:59.000We had that incident that happened, I think it was last year, when some guys broke into one of the buildings and one of our security guys opened fire on them.
01:20:06.000them you should yeah yeah and so like you but this is the price of freedom
01:20:11.000yeah do you like look we we're out in the middle of nowhere and there's crime
01:21:04.000There's already a mod for, I think it's Skyrim, where you can talk to an AI companion and it uses GPT to answer your questions and talk to you.
01:21:13.000Now with these AI girlfriends, this is the first thing they're putting money in because they know guys will spend money on it.
01:21:19.000Look, you build a robot that can carry boxes, Amazon will go to their insurance company, they'll talk about liability, they'll talk about rates, They make the AI porn and the guys, they're buying it up.
01:21:32.000I imagine like this, the, the robots like this, they're going to be, you know, they're going to be home appliances where, you know, you're going to have a robot around to do menial tasks.
01:21:44.000You've already got Alexa that goes and turns people's lights in mine, in my apartment at the down here, the apartment, the apartment I have Alexa and it's handy.
01:21:53.000When I go home, I don't, I don't have that stuff in my place in New Hampshire.
01:22:19.000I don't talk to the YouTube chat very much, but... Are you talking about the IRL chat or the Discord chat, or are you talking about the... IRL.
01:22:26.000They were saying Ian King, ha ha ha, 2020.
01:23:12.000Let's say we're at the point where we have those self-driving taxis, right?
01:23:16.000You're sitting in the back seat and you're on your phone, boop, boop, boop, and an old lady steps out from between two cars and she sees the car and she goes, wah!
01:23:22.000And then the self-driving taxi has to make a decision, hit the old lady, swerve out of the way, crash, killing the passenger.
01:24:30.000You could sue Toyota, maybe, depending on what happened, but typically it's the driver of the car, and we say, you're driving a car, and you crash the car.
01:24:47.000They buy it, and they say, I want this robot to provide companionship, but then it goes, Roger that, yeah!
01:24:55.000Everybody knows that these things are going to be Wi-Fi, someone's going to hack it, and then you're just going to control it like it's a drone, man.
01:25:03.000And it's going to have a built-in camera that's going to be transmitting your sex life to someone.
01:25:08.000I kind of moved away from the sex part once I said you take over it.
01:25:14.000It's probably the biggest driver of humanity is sex.
01:25:18.000Like, it is, the porn, I think they say that porn is responsible for the success of the internet in a lot of ways.
01:25:23.000Yeah, porn is responsible for the VHS over Betamax.
01:25:26.000And it's also why the internet speeds ramped up is because there was massive demand for, the main video demand was, you know, graphic content.
01:25:33.000So that's what I'm saying, like, with these AI girlfriends, the chat communications and video development, it's like, the big, okay.
01:26:06.000There is going to be a demand for that, clearly, because you hear, you hear, you know, all the red pill dudes.
01:26:12.000Actually, it's probably less the red pill dudes, more the people that listen to the red pill dudes.
01:26:16.000But they're, they complain about the fact that women are, their standards are too high, etc, etc.
01:26:22.000And they're, Women complain about men and the sexes have never been more at each other's throats and there are dudes that are like, I'm checking out of society or checking out a dating market and stuff.
01:26:34.000There's a huge percentage of young guys that are, you know, 18, 19, 20 years old that have never had a girlfriend that have never been on a date.
01:26:40.000There's all kinds of women that are like, oh, I can't find a guy.
01:26:44.000People are going, when you can customize something like a robot or an AI to give you what you're looking for, there's going to be a lot of people that are going to gravitate to that.
01:26:54.000Now I'm wondering about women with their AI robot men.
01:28:36.000But, uh, it's like you could, you, you pick the kind of girl you want, like the kind of hair, the size of the, the funny thing is like all of the AI girls that have been generated have massive knockers.
01:28:45.000And it's just like, just like ridiculously obscene, not real.
01:28:50.000So like on the, on the New York post, they showed a bunch of pictures of, of demo women and their boobs are just like, like those women would be in serious pain.
01:29:27.000Dudes that like I'm like, dude, I like anime, but I don't get I guess this is the depopulation of humanity
01:29:34.000Like it's it's a self-selecting system where people are choosing to have
01:29:38.000virtual relationships and then just Until they're dead and because it's easy and then it's it
01:29:44.000also works for if there really is an agenda a global general
01:29:48.000There are too many people you guys we can't keep exponentially growing at this rate with this technology
01:29:54.000Jeez, man And so just kind of you look you look at this stuff these AI girlfriend stuff and it's like They will say whatever you want them to say you program their personalities what they look like they can generate graphic images and then Imagine a guy grows up on that stuff, and then he meets a woman in real life, and she's like, hey, I'm not into that, like, we have to have boundaries.
01:30:21.000The changes that have happened in the past 25 years, I mean, obviously, I mean, even even Ted Kaczynski's, you know, the manifesto, he acknowledged all of the changes that had happened just in the previous 100 years since the 150 years since the Industrial Revolution.
01:30:41.000Humanity has had all of the things that have had social pressures and evolutionary pressures, all of that stuff has been removed because we have machines to do our work, we have machines to protect us, we have machines and technology to inform us and stuff, all of the things, all of the connection to actual nature and stuff, all that stuff's been removed and now with Machines becoming so, like, I mean, if you thought machines were, you know, common when you had toasters and cars and forklifts, like, when people are going to have, you know, when people have Neuralink and personal robots, nowadays personal robots, like, you have a robot that, you know, sweeps your house!
01:31:56.000Or they'll make these, have you seen these amorphous robots?
01:31:59.000They're like, they can change form, they can go through tubes and stuff, they're like, look like a goo, kind of.
01:32:04.000Yeah, robots are- That could clean your floor real easy.
01:32:06.000Well, I mean, maybe, but robots aren't going to be like robot isn't going to be one kind.
01:32:09.000It's not going to be just the humanoid thing.
01:32:11.000I mean, nowadays, everyone think nowadays you can actually think of, you know, Tim's car is a robot because it's got, you know, it's a Tesla that can do all kinds of stuff that.
01:32:28.000How am I not at the point where there is not like a red bar that, you know, moves up and down and says, Hello, Tim, where would you like to go today?
01:32:36.000And I'd be like, we're going to the casino.
01:32:43.000Also, Elon, make the headlights also double as projector screens so you can project a movie onto, like, the back of your garage while you're chilling and watch.
01:33:10.000No, I was gonna talk about space sling shots.
01:33:14.000I'd rather talk about space sling shots.
01:33:16.000Have you seen those things where it's like a big, it's a big disc and there's like a hammer in it that spins around really fast and then shoots the thing straight in the sky?
01:33:26.000But what you can then when once it's you got something in orbit, you can send it through like a mag rail that just fires it off into another orbit that catches it in like a reverse mag love magnet.
01:33:36.000And so you can really like shoot packages.
01:33:55.000So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, because it doesn't look like YouTube likes us very much, and it'll be interesting to see what happens moving forward.
01:34:12.000But of course, the premise of this episode is three years after our biggest episodes aired, they made up reasons to take them down.
01:34:20.000And they won't give us assurances, they put a warning on the channel, And I'll stress this again, because I told them, I was like, look, you got a problem with the episodes, three years later, tell me you're taking them down.
01:34:54.000So, if they were like, look it's been three years, I know this has been sitting on the channel for a long time, we're just gonna take them off the channel, I would have been offended and angry and I would have said whatever.
01:35:04.000There's no threat to us being banned when they say something like that.
01:35:07.000But to come to me and say, not only that, not only will we retroactively ban your show, We'll delete you permanently if we find any anything in any clip you've ever done over the past four years and your thousand plus episodes.
01:35:22.000So I'm like I gotta so I have to delete every episode.
01:35:25.000We would have to literally just go in and purge the entire channel because we have no idea when they will decide to retroactively ban us.
01:35:40.000There is projects, stuff behind the scenes going on, that were not for third parties' involvement in their interests, I would gladly tell you.
01:35:48.000But again, I'll respect other people's privacies in that regard.
01:36:35.000Shadow's Hand says, Warhammer 40k is now woke.
01:36:38.000They took male factions that were that way for over 30 years and added women for no reason, and then gaslighted the fans into saying they were always there.
01:37:16.000I'm not well versed, but I'm familiar with the lore.
01:37:20.000Kinsei Sensei says if they shut you down, I'm canceling my premium membership and moving to Rumble permanently.
01:37:26.000The issue is, you know, one of the things I said to Google was, maybe we just shut it down, move to a different platform, but maybe that's exactly what you want.
01:37:35.000Like, if they took down our two biggest shows ever, which they said were fine for three years, it seems to me like I know the subject of this, I've had some conversations.
01:37:45.000The idea is they can't ban TimCast IRL instantly.
01:37:51.000They need to do things so that when it does get banned, they'll say, oh, well, but he had several strikes over the past several months.
01:38:00.000So they look through all our episodes, retroactively enforce against two of them, giving us a warning.
01:38:05.000The next thing that happens is in a month from now, because I took the training, which takes 90 days for the warning to resolve, Couple months from now, they'll say, oh, episode 412.
01:38:23.000Because if they came outright right now and banned us, there would be a huge stink, a huge conundrum, there'd probably be a lawsuit, it'd be crazy.
01:38:31.000So, instantly I'm like, okay, here we go, game's on, I get it.
01:38:37.000As I mentioned, we're talking with top men, so I don't want to say too much, but there's a strong possibility that this entire YouTube channel has all of its videos purged within a week.
01:38:47.000And then what we end up doing is the show is on YouTube for a week before being permanently deleted and then being archived on other platforms or maybe even being on other platforms.
01:38:55.000The YouTube clips will be up for maybe a month before being deleted.
01:40:48.000It's fantastic for me just posting garbage and satire and jokes and nonsense on the platform.
01:40:54.000You know, it's good income, but it certainly can't run a company.
01:40:57.000I wonder, if we were to get hundreds of millions of impressions on a show like this, I don't know if it would generate the revenue we need it to.
01:41:16.000Inflation makes it harder because, you know, it gets to a point where we have to pay people more to cover the cost of gas and rent insurance, but then The cost of running this show goes up.
01:41:28.000We have to then ask everyone to pay more, but then if we do, we might just lose members outright, so it's difficult.
01:42:22.000It was just three years ago though Like nobody was talking.
01:42:26.000Yeah, and I'm I mean, yeah, who knows I'm pretty neutral I'm I like seeing both sides, but you know, I digress Silver Screen Psychopathy says, you talk a lot about not supporting evil corporations, but you're paying Screwtube.
01:45:28.000I am the sole owner and none of its other companies, related companies, have any shared interest as well.
01:45:36.000SCNR has partial ownership from Bill Ottman of Minds.com, who's a good friend, but I don't believe Timcast will ever take investment.
01:45:45.000You know, I say I don't believe because I don't, maybe I die at some point.
01:45:49.000The issue is just that We want to expand cultural endeavors and grow.
01:45:54.000And so the money that comes in through everything basically funds and supports the mission and the operation.
01:45:59.000It's like we've gone over expenses and like salaries and all that stuff and we're like, man, it's just like the bulk of the costs are travel, accommodation, massive expenses.
01:46:09.000It could be upwards of like $3,000 per day.
01:46:27.000The other thing too is we book a lot of travel within like a week or two, because a lot of guests shift around.
01:46:34.000And the problem is that if we book someone like two months in advance, which we sometimes do, and then book their flights and they cancel on us, we lose that money.
01:46:42.000We've also had certain people be like, I missed the flight or I can't take the flight.
01:46:46.000And so it ends up costing a lot of money.
01:47:06.000I mean, and to be honest with you, like the cost of travel and stuff, it's not going down because the cost of oil is not going anywhere but up unless there's some kind of change in the U.S.
01:47:31.000One of the concerns is that I think around 60% of viewers watch on the YouTube app on their TVs.
01:47:39.000So they're not chatting, they're not super chatting, they're sitting on their couch with their friends and family and they turn the TV on.
01:47:45.000This is one of the craziest things that I didn't know for a long time because we look at the concurrent viewership and we're like, wow, we have 44,000.
01:47:52.000Total viewership is actually much bigger than that.
01:47:54.000We can't track that because we don't have the same tools as, like, Nielsen Ratings.
01:47:57.000But, uh, I ended up learning that, like, a guy, his wife, and his friend, or kids, will be watching the show.
01:48:04.000They'll, like, it'll be the end of the day, and they'll turn the show on the TV.
01:48:07.000They'll open up the YouTube app, press play, and then there's, like, three or four people in one room watching the show.
01:48:11.000That counts as one person in the concurrent viewership.
01:48:40.000So if we're talking like your average family or whatever and these are people in their 30s and they may it may just be like at most like two people we're looking at concurrent viewership is actually closer to around like 70 or 80.
01:48:54.000Some people are watching on their phones and laptops too for sure.
01:48:58.000And that's the big challenge too with moving to another platform is that people would have to switch to Rokus and other things like that.
01:49:53.000Then we hired a bunch of people and then we built a bunch of infrastructure and tried to make it professional and better and we keep expanding.
01:50:00.000The new studio sorely needed, definitely.
01:50:03.000People complain that the lighting makes them look like zombies.
01:50:07.000Yeah, it can be pretty bright sometimes.
01:53:14.000Because Richie wouldn't let me stop skating.
01:53:17.000So I was trying to do a run on the mini ramp.
01:53:20.000And these are not even like the craziest tricks, it's just I haven't skated a mini ramp in a long, long time.
01:53:27.000So I was doing a boardslide, fakie disaster, axle, back disaster, nollie front disaster, no stall, switch blunt, and then like a rock to turn around and then a kickflip 5-0.
01:53:42.000And I got one, but I hit the wall with my hand.
01:54:56.000The live show is the biggest driver of memberships to TimCast.com because when we're live, we say, hey, the members-only show starts now, go watch, and then tons of people instantly sign up.
01:55:07.000The fear is that if we disrupt that, and we don't see the same turnaround, because we don't know...
01:55:12.000We stop generating memberships, and then we become a sinking ship.
01:55:16.000And then we have to figure out the stability point where, okay, how many memberships do we generate through streaming on other platforms?
01:55:23.000And if the number is that it's lower because we've deranked ourselves on YouTube, split our audience up, some people can't find the stream or otherwise, then we have to say, how do we shrink the ship to maintain its current size based on the current level of growth?
01:55:36.000Right now, where we're at with YouTube, we have moderate to slow growth.
01:55:43.000Then there's an opportunity for BizDev with like Casper and other things.
01:55:47.000Other companies have asked us to stream on their platform, and I said, if we do that, and it reduces our current level of memberships, then we have to start cutting fat.
01:55:57.000We are stable where we're at in everything we're doing.
01:56:00.000We're seeing moderate viewership growth on YouTube, moderate membership growth, and so that allows us to invest in other ways to shore up the defenses for the show.
01:56:09.000If we venture off into the unknown, don't generate the revenue, It's only a risk for us.
01:56:16.000So what I've said to all these companies is, mitigate that risk, deal, and most of them have said, we don't know if we can do that.
01:57:38.000You know, I do believe that if we, uh, were... So, here's something, I think if we were to, like, say, okay, YouTube, screw you, and we chose any other platform, we would see a massive burst in memberships instantly.
01:57:54.000But then people, their memberships, they cancel them, their cards expire.
01:58:00.000We don't have a membership team that calls people and asks them to re-sign up.
01:59:04.000We've tried a couple times to take a recording of my voice, and I've even talked to, like, Seamus about it, and he's like, impersonating Tim is hard to do.
02:00:16.000You know, Dane already is our marketing guy.
02:00:18.000I think all we would do is just like make ads and do like awareness campaigns and just generate ubiquity.
02:00:27.000It's not so much that the ads make people watch, but it's that everyone becomes familiar with the show.
02:00:32.000And you know what I was thinking of doing?
02:00:34.000What if every Monday we put up an ad on a variety of platforms that says like, this week on Timcast IRL we've got, and then it shows the guests.
02:00:43.000And it's like, watch live Monday through Friday this week, and then we just change that every week.
02:00:47.000Because then we're directly advertising something.
02:00:51.000It's too bad it takes too long to get ads approved, because if YouTube actually did quick turnaround on ad approvals, I would do a daily, you know, where it's like, tonight at 8pm, check out, you know, Philobonti on Tim Castellano.
02:01:04.000The occasional, when the guest doesn't show, and a marketing, a big marketing thing for something that doesn't happen might be a problem.
02:01:15.000And then if someone doesn't show up, they're just like, unfortunately, they weren't able to make it.
02:01:18.000All right, everybody, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.
