Episode Overview

Tim Miller and Cam Kasky dissect two major viral themes: the evangelical Rapture TikTok mania, and the unintended hilarity of “alpha male” self-help videos. Through fast banter, cultural insight, and a flurry of hilarious quotes, they examine what these phenomena say about Gen Z, masculinity politics, and the evolving media landscape—riffing on religion, politics, and online masculinity grifts along the way.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Rapture TikTok: Evangelical Apocalypse Mania

[01:30–07:41]

• Current Trend: Evangelical Christian TikTok is abuzz with end-of-the-world prophecy. Content creators are posting “Rapture prep” videos triggered by a viral South African pastor claiming Jesus will return during Rosh Hashanah (Sept 22–24).
• Hosts’ Response:
  • Cam finds the trend fascinating for its seriousness mixed with internet absurdity. Tim notes it gives him a “very creepy vibe” and makes him “feel very out of step with what's happening with my fellow humans.”
  • Cam jokes about prepping for the Rapture: “if you're not a sinner...you're gonna go to heaven...that sounds better than this. Like, heaven is supposed to be the best shit ever.” (06:44)
  • The hosts banter about who gets raptured by evangelical standards, especially Catholics and “good” evangelicals.
• Key Quote:
  • Cam (on Rapture optimism):

    “I kind of hope that the rapture does happen, because if you think about it, it's sort of a win-win...you get to keep living your life without the fucking evangelicals trying to strip abortion rights away from women.” (06:29)

2. Religion, Schisms, and Identity

[07:41–13:45]

• Catholic vs. Evangelical: The two discuss the theological divide between Catholics and Evangelicals. Tim breaks down Protestant objections to Catholic “idol worship” and the historic split.
  • Cam: “I never figured out what the difference between Christian and Catholic was because they both had Jesus. And I was like, oh, it's just two different flavors of Jesus.” (08:50)
• Social Media & Political Fandom: They note how religious fervor is coloring secular politics, with major funerals for right-wing figures like Charlie Kirk turning almost into religious rites, complete with conspiracy theories and feuding sects.
  • Tim: “It does feel like we're kind of drip-dipping into a Shia Sunni type situation in our secular political life in America in a way that I find concerning.” (15:18)

---

3. Hilarity of "Alpha Male" Videos and the Masculinity Grift

[17:52–28:45]

• Alpha vs. Sigma vs. Omega: Cam and Tim watch and deconstruct viral masculinity TikToks—first mocking the generic “alpha male” traits, then the “Sigma male” (the silent, mysterious loner), then inventing the “Omega male” as their preferred archetype.
  • Example “alpha” traits: confidence, leadership, emotional control, relentless drive.
  • Tim’s verdict:

    “I definitely not a beta because only a beta would watch that video and be like, yeah, I want to follow you...” (19:54)

• Sigma Males: They play an AI-generated Joe Rogan video glorifying the Sigma archetype (“quiet, calculating and completely independent”), which Tim finds deeply compensatory:

  “I can't imagine anyone with a big dick just verbalizing that they're a Sigma male.” (22:49)

• Introducing 'Omega Males':
  • Cam: “Omega males are really, really, really straight in the stuff that we're straight about and really, really, really gay in the stuff that we're gay about...the pendulum swings far with the omega male.”
  • Tim: “To have the confidence to be able to live with those two selves within you...is what leads us to being Omega males.” (24:24–24:35)
• Critique of Masculinity Grifts:
  • Cam highlights the contradiction that the more rigid the masculine model, the less secure the men become, and thus less attractive.
  • Tim adds:

    “There’s nothing more masculine nor more straight than being able to non-sexually cuddle with your gay male friend...” (25:46)

---

4. “Alpha Male” Training Camps and the Mockery Continues

[26:51–29:23]

• The Modern (spelled 'Moder') Project:
  • Men spend $18,000 for a “training camp” where they get yelled at to “be a man,” run on the beach, and get berated for supposed weaknesses.
  • Tim and Cam find this both absurd and faintly homoerotic, skewering the spectacle:
    • Cam: “It's just these guys getting bullied in the gayest...Holy. Look at this one.” (27:27)
    • Tim: “If you need to be yelled at by somebody, get a real gay...I think that might help a little more.” (29:23)
• Underlying Point: Many men are paying for affirmation, but the real solution is embracing complexity and dropping the tough-guy facade.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Tim, on Rapture TikTok:

  “This gives me a very leftovers vibe...I feel it's kind of like when somebody starts talking to their animal.” (05:41)

• Cam, on Religious Factions:

  “Does Christ have courts?...Does he have, like, retainers? ...So it's not like God is a form of monarchy. It's just like, king, as in, like, slay king.” (12:19–12:37)

• On Alpha Male Culture:
  • Cam: “I've seen in action, but we've never really litigated in ideology...Is Tim Miller an alpha male or is he a Sigma male?” (17:52)
  • Tim: “Only a beta would watch that video and be like, yeah, I want to follow you, tough man, your bald head doing...James Bond outfit.” (19:54)
• On the “Moder Project”:

  Cam: “That's $18,000.” (28:21)
  Tim: “If you need to be yelled at by a person on the beach in kind of a homoerotic way...we’ll find you somebody who will do it for free.” (28:45)

Tone & Approach

The episode is part wry generational anthropology, part pop-culture roast—fast, funny, at times profane, with a genuine undercurrent of cultural curiosity and a gleeful skewering of grifters and performative masculinity. The hosts’ candid asides and self-deprecating humor make the headier cultural and political debates feel relatable, sharp, and fun.

---

Conclusion

In a world where Gen Z’s social media drives everything from end-times prophecy to the selling of masculinity as a brand, Tim Miller and Cameron Kasky bring wit, skepticism, and compassion to the conversation. Their new “omega male” archetype—comfortable in contradiction, unapologetically eclectic—is as much a rejection of binary thinking as it is a manifesto for modern self-acceptance.

And I'm Cam Caskey. And there's a lot of people on social media right now who think that the rapture is happening tomorrow. That's right, folks. This is our rapture special for FY Pop.

[Tim Miller]

Really? One of the, like the, like the 2000s indie dance pop band. Dance rock band Rapture.

[Cam Caskey]

You lost me there. I'm so good.

[Tim Miller]

Pieces of the people, you know, so.

[Cam Caskey]

Good at your millennial references. That one I don't have. Do you know about Rapture Talk right now?

[Tim Miller]

No. Pieces of the people we love. Damn it. No, I don't. I don't know about Rapture Talk. I mean, I did see the video of the churches that were playing AI Charlie Kirk speaking words he never spoke from the grave to their parish. Is it about that?

[Cam Caskey]

No, no, no, I pulled that. But then you were like, you know what? I don't want to do a Charlie this Monday. So I said, okay, I'll do AI Charlie Kirk on our separate channel that you all ought to go subscribe to right now, where we do stuff like that. No, no, no. This is totally different.

[Tim Miller]

Responding to my wishes.

[Cam Caskey]

This is Rapture TikTok. Basically, there's a trend that's been going on where evangelical Christians think that the Rapture again is happening tomorrow. As in, like, Tuesday, September 23rd. Yeah. There's this thing that happens in Israel where, like, a bunch of people come together and blow horns every year, and there was some guy who had a prophet. I'm going to give you some context, but first I want you to get a look at what's happening on TikTok. You can Google this. This isn't some little corner of Tik Tok. This is a widespread thing. Right now we are facing what could very well be the Raptor. Let's take a look. Hey, guys. All right. What did I do today to prepare my home for the people that are left behind?

[Tim Miller]

Let me show you.

[Cam Caskey]

I got these at the Dollar Tree. I just wrote these on here, like, little notes. I also.

[Tim Miller]

Bookmarked.

[Cam Caskey]

Every time I hear someone, every time I see Jesus Loves you, I think about. Simon Agarfo, Jesus Loves yous know that song? Are you. Is that.

[Tim Miller]

Are you, Are you Too Young in 2000s? Indie Rob.

[Cam Caskey]

Cheers to youo, Mrs. Robinson.

[Tim Miller]

Yeah, I know that song.

[Cam Caskey]

Yeah, okay.

[Tim Miller]

Jesus Loves yous More than you should know.

[Cam Caskey]

Yeah, there you go. So. So people are, like, posting their, like, Rapture prep videos, and I was trying to figure out what the fuck was going on because I had multiple friends texting me, like, are you seeing all these people tiktoking about the Rapture? And I said, no, but I kind of want to know what's up. Basically, there was a viral video clip of a South African pastor named Joshua, and then a last name that I'm sure many people could say claiming to have visualized Jesus, famous from the Bible, returning on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. This. This week, like, September 22nd to 24th, the rapture is upon us whether you are ready or not. He exclaimed. God took me to see the future. And there in heaven, in the throne room, I see Jesus sitting. The type of stuff you normally hear. But I guess this guy just went the right type of viral and had the right sort of moment in a way that just made people post stuff like this. For example, six days, almost five days to rapture time. I'm so excited. Who else is excited? There's a guy. His account here, I don't know what his real name is, but he's a riot and he's making this whole journey so fun. But his account is called Rapture. Now, he was just talking about, you know, hey, have you heard that, you know, there's an angel assigned to each person when we get raptured? He was like, I wonder if our pets get raptured too. He's like, dude, I want to be that. Could you imagine? Oh, yeah. He goes, could you imagine the angel that's just assigned a one little Chihuahua? They're going up. Okay, so I have a big question for you that's going to be sort of the gospel, no pun intended, of this episode. But before that, I feel like with religious grifters, and we see this a lot with some of the people who are going nuts about Charlie Kirk, there's a certain twinkle in the eyes of someone who's like an actual heretic that this lady was missing. Like, she did not seem committed to the ball. She seemed like she was just making content. Like, I did not see the religious fanaticism twinkle in the eye. Do you know what I'm saying?

[Tim Miller]

That is what worries me about it. This gives me a very leftovers vibe. It all gives you a very creepy vibe. It makes me feel very out of step with what's happening with my fellow humans. Just like, what happens when you wake up the day? Is it a joke? I can't translate. Like, five days till the rapture. The. This is my vlog counting down. I can't. I feel it's kind of like when somebody starts talking to their animal where, like, they're talking to the dog and then the dog woofs at them, and then they're like, oh, you know, Larry, over pizza, the dog is telling me that, and I'm like, what are you talking about? The dog is just woofing. And I'm feeling that now, where it makes me unsteady and uncomfortable that this is happening.

[Cam Caskey]

So I was talking to one of my best friends about this, and I was saying to her, like, I kind of hope that the rapture does happen, because if you think about it, it's sort of a win win. Like, because all the people.

[Tim Miller]

Not for me. I like life. I want to live more. No, but I have so much more of life to take.

[Cam Caskey]

Here's the thing. If you're not a sinner, which I don't know if you know some things about the Bible but you might not be in good shape. You're gonna go to heaven. Like, that sounds better than this. Like, heaven is supposed to be the best shit ever. I don't know if you're familiar.

[Tim Miller]

I am a sinner, though.

[Cam Caskey]

Well, then great. You get to keep living your life without the fucking evangelicals trying to strip abortion rights away from women. Like, that's what I'm saying is the evangelicals, a lot of them contribute to what our current Christofascist society that is stripping the rights away from so many people. And I don't want to get rid of the.

[Tim Miller]

You're buying into their framework, though, where they are not sinners and they are going to get taken to heaven. I think that there are a lot of evangelicals out there that are sinners that are. I'm still going to be stuck here with them.

[Cam Caskey]

And I guess, yeah, that is the question is like, are they going to be reconciling with the fact that they are not good enough to go to heaven? Are they going to be saying, gee, seems like nobody was raptured. Are we all perhaps full of sin? And that's not what this is all about.

[Tim Miller]

But then we might lose some people. Sarah Longwell might be get. We won't have a publisher of the Bulwark anymore. She's not a sinner. She gets taken to heaven.

[Cam Caskey]

If anybody could figure it out, it's Sarah Longwell. But I'm saying, like, generally speaking, with the evangelicals, all people like that, like, I want heaven for everybody. I want everybody to be eternally at bliss, especially if it involves them not showing up at the fucking ballot box. But then I started thinking about you because I think about you all the time because you're my friend. And I was like, huh? Do Catholics go to heaven too, in the evangelical version of the rapture? And that made me realize that, you know, as a Jewish person who has been around Christians and Catholics and stuff, on my mom's side, I'm Irish Catholic. I just never really grew up with that. I have the shame and the guilt of Judaism and Catholicism, but. And like, I know Muslim people, so I learned a little bit about that and similar things. But I never figured out what the difference between Christian and Catholic was because they both had Jesus. And I was like, oh, it's just two different flavors of Jesus. Like, is it the same Jesus that you guys are doing?

[Tim Miller]

No, it's a pretty fundamental schism between the Catholics and the Protestants. And the Catholics do believe that they have the one true faith. It was the Sort of original. The original Christianity. And then the Protestants spun off and they think that the Catholics worship false idols, you know, Mary and the saints. There's only one God. So it's kind of interesting. I know we weren't supposed to talk about the other topic that I don't want to talk about, but it is kind of interesting that, like, the premise of Protestantism. Right. Is that they had to leave Catholicism in large part because of their worship of, you know, these saints. And, like, they had all these opulent churches and they felt like, you know, Martin Luther with the theses, you know, he said that this. That he did not. You know, they thought that this was really kind of sacrilegious and that you should really center God only and Jesus only. And Jesus is the one savior, not all these other things.

[Cam Caskey]

Jesus loves you more than you will know.

[Tim Miller]

Oh, ho, ho. And so now we have the evangelicals here who, I mean, you might say that they have some false idols. I don't know exactly how you want to characterize the Trump Bible.

[Cam Caskey]

So it's horseshoed from. We're not going to be Catholics anymore. We're going to let Catholics be the bad guys in the Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo, which then became a Disney movie. It's terrifying for children. They horseshoed from. You guys worship false idols somehow, all the way over to Joel Osteen.

[Tim Miller]

Yeah. And Trump Bibles. Yeah. I know it's confusing. You know, history takes a lot of weird twists and turns, but. Yeah. So I think that probably they would not think the Catholics were in heaven. I don't know. It's interesting. There's this sub debate about, you know, when I said I didn't want to talk about the Charlie Kirk. AI, you kind of like you picked a new topic that was like, a little too close to it. That's kind of hard to get away from it because we were still talking about AI and we still were talking about the concept of religion and evangelism. So here we are, and that's okay. But, Charlie, there was an interesting debate in my corner of Twitter that you wouldn't have seen between the Trad Caths and the evangelicals, and they were both trying to kind of, in their own way, use Charlie's legacy to advance their own point of view. And the evangelicals were pointing out to the Tradcasts, the traditionalist Catholics, that Charlie had been asked about converting to Catholicism not too long ago and had said that he can't do it because of, again, all the false idols. The Saints. And he only believes that there's one God, Jesus, and the worship of. I think he said something about how Catholics believe that Mary is without sin as well. And he thinks that there's only one person who's without sin, and that was Jesus, maybe Donald Trump, but also Jesus. And so that was a fundamental break for him. So I don't. I think that. Probably not. Long story short, I think the Catholics aren't going to heaven in the rapture. Sorry, what were you saying?

[Cam Caskey]

The Matt Walsh guys and all these, like, fucking Jack Posebayaks guys. The ones who are all, you know, blowing up Grindr. The day that everyone was at Charlie's funeral, they always say Christ is king. And I was like, I didn't know there was a monarchy in the Bible. Like, I only know. I only know what I learned in Hebrew school. So I know about King Solomon and I know about, you know, Vashti from Purim, but I didn't know that, like, Christ could be king. Like, does. Does Christ have courts?

[Tim Miller]

A kingdom? We're all living in Christ's kingdom. Yeah, the world.

[Cam Caskey]

But does he have, like, retainers? Does he has. Does he have, like, a king?

[Tim Miller]

No, I think it's more of a colloquial term.

[Cam Caskey]

So not a king. So it's not like we. It's not like God is a form of monarchy. It's just like, king, as in, like, slay king.

[Tim Miller]

I think it's probably somewhere in between monarchy and slay king.

[Cam Caskey]

Got it.

[Tim Miller]

It's more like, you know, kind of.

[Cam Caskey]

But is it, like, the type of king where there is also a parliament? We'll get into this another time.

[Tim Miller]

I don't think there's a parliament.

[Cam Caskey]

We'll bring on that guy who said he wanted to go to Alligator Alcatraz. He could help us figure it out.

[Tim Miller]

You do bring this up, and boy, boy, were there a lot of bad. I took the day off from tweeting. I got into a Twitter feud with Megyn Kelly on Saturday night. And then Sunday, I was like, you know, I should probably step away from the computer. And also during this memorial service, probably not great for me to be posting. I would notice this, though. I couldn't resist. And a few times I searched Twitter to see what other people were saying. And I noticed this, which was maybe the worst tweet of the day from Mark Halpert. As the arena fills up as folks get through security. If Wikipedia is to be believed, the attendance for the funeral of Charlie Kirk will be about the same as that for Elvis. A different King will be front and center today. Was he talking about Jesus there or Charlie Kirk?

[Cam Caskey]

No. And that's the whole thing is like they were treating the Charlie Kirk thing as like the biggest religious event of all time. And it brings to mind another Abrahamic religion that got caught up in the Charlie Kirk, who can grift hardest about this guy wars, which was the Israel stuff, where you had Netanyahu coming out and being like, oh, my God. This guy was like, son to me. Love him. Brave fighter for the state of Israel. But then if you look at Charlie in his late later, much closer to the end of his life, he was being a bit more critical. So Tucker and Candace came out, and Tucker and Candace started being like, huh, Isn't it convenient that right around when Charlie started saying some critical things about Israel, he magically died? So you have Tucker and Candace spreading anti Semitic conspiracy theories, saying that it was because Charlie was too critical of Israel, and perhaps this was all some sort of setup. But then you had Bibi being like, oh, my God, Benjamin Netanyahu. You got to hand it to him. And I don't say that very often. He did a way better job at pretending to give a shit about Charlie Kirk than Trump did. Like, every interview where they're asking Trump about Charlie, Trump's like, yeah, we had a funeral. We were there. We felt things since. Shit like that. I don't know. Did you hear about our ballroom and tariffs? Netanyahu was like, dude, that's my boy. I'm gonna miss him forever. So seems as though the, you know, I wonder what sex of what different sects of Islam are fighting about.

[Tim Miller]

Charlie, Sects.

[Cam Caskey]

S, E C T. It does feel.

[Tim Miller]

Like we're kind of drip dipping into a Shia Sunni type situation in our secular political life in America in a way that I find concerning.

[Cam Caskey]

Yeah, I. I really hope things don't end up exactly like that, because as someone who has learned a thing or two about the Middle east, that's not my personal vision for the United States of America. But we did see a new vision for the United States of America at Charlie Kirk's funeral. And with the opportunity we have to talk about that, I want to talk about our sponsor and then show Tim Alpha male training camp videos.

[Tim Miller]

Yeah, you know, if you had to be on social media on Sunday, one thing that you could have done to make that a more appealing experience is try out some things from our new sponsor, Cornbread Hemp. Whoever wrote this ad for me, I assume it's not Cornbread Hemp. Whose product a Plus, we'll get to that in a second. But they wrote this. I'm not as young as I once was. Fuck you, a script writer. Who wrote this? I'm young. I'm youthful. I'm young at heart. I'm young at spirit. I'm wearing this teal T shirt anyway. But even though I'm an old fuck, I still care a lot about maintaining my physical and mental wellness. Cornbread Hemp CBD gummies are a huge part of that wellness plan. Cornbread Hemp CBD gummies are made to help you feel better, whether it's stress, discomfort, or just needing a little relaxation. And nothing says relaxing like relaxing legally. You hear that, Tom Homan? Legally. No problems here. No bribes taken here. Citizen of the United States. These gummies are federally legal. And they're just what I need to kick back when I'm sick of contemplating the state of the world. With Cornbread Hemp, they only use the best part of the hemp plant, the flower for the purest and most potent cbd. And all products are third party, lab tested and USDA organic to ensure safety and purity. You want that pure shit, you know, you don't want the cut up cbd.

[Cam Caskey]

I mean, this is our religion episode. We want to keep it as pure as we can.

[Tim Miller]

Yeah, I was thinking about a different context, but great point. Right now, FYpod listeners can save 30% off their first order. Just head to cornbreadhemp.com FYpod it's a great website. Name. And use code FYpod at checkout. That's cornbreadhemp.com FYPod and use code FYpod at checkout.

[Cam Caskey]

Wasn't Cornbread one of Biden's friends that he was cooking? Yeah, Corn pop.

[Tim Miller]

No, that was pork chop.

[Cam Caskey]

Corn pop.

[Tim Miller]

Corn pop.

[Cam Caskey]

I don't remember the corn pop.

[Tim Miller]

What did I say? Pork chop. Corn Pop. Corn pop was fucking real, by the way. Joe Biden had some other issues, but.

[Cam Caskey]

Corn pop was real Pop was the original. Big balls, everybody. I know what's on the top of all of your minds as we transition into the next segment of this episode. Something that I've wanted to explore the entire time we've been doing this show. Something I've seen in action, but we've never really litigated in ideology. And that is the burning question at the top of everybody's minds. Is Tim Miller an alpha male or is he a Sigma male? Now we're going to get into the difference between those two things because I think that the alpha male Culture has been a very pervasive and dangerous thing in modern masculinity. But it's also given us some tiktoks that I think you ought to check out right now. 5 signs you are an alpha male. What sets true leaders apart?

[Tim Miller]

Alpha males radiate confidence and strength.

[Cam Caskey]

I think you radiate confidence and strength so far.

[Tim Miller]

One for one. Five undeniable signs that you embody this powerful mentality. One unshakable confidence. You walk into a room and own it. That's not really me. You do.

[Cam Caskey]

I think you do.

[Tim Miller]

I don't know. I do. My confidence can be shaken. I would just say for sure, number one. And number two, I walk into a room and I'm kind of like, kind of like the person that you want to like hang out with in the corner. That's shit talking. The alpha male. I feel like I don't know what kind of male that makes me. So I don't know. I'm not sure I self identify with number one. Let's keep going. Doubt has no place in your mind. Two, decisive leadership. You make choices boldly inspiring others to follow your lead. Three, emotional control. You stay calm under pressure. Definitely not me. Challenges with ease. Four, authentic integrity. Okay. You stand by your values no matter the cost. Five, relentless drive. You pursue your goals with unmatched intensity. Ready to embrace your inner alpha.

[Cam Caskey]

I think you're an alpha.

[Tim Miller]

Okay, thank you. I would say I fit probably three of the five categories. I definitely not a beta because only a beta would watch that video and be like, yeah, I want to follow you. I want to follow you. Tough man, your bald head doing. I like doing your James Bond outfit. Pretending like you never have any self doubt. You have self doubt, bro. Whoever did that, whoever wrote that script, whatever I wrote that script, you have, you whoever. You know, was the little nerd in Silicon Valley that designed the AI that said that script. You have self doubt. We all have self doubt, man. You got to. The only way to achieve growth in life is to look at yourself, you know, to look at your doubt, to sit with your doubt, to challenge yourself.

[Cam Caskey]

You know, that's real the whole time. So I can't relate. But listen, people think that there's alpha males and there's beta males and for a very long time that was the conversation. Are you an alpha? Are you a beta? It's very comparable. Not the same thing, but it's very comparable to type A and type B. Are you the guy calling the shots or are you the guy first following? Are you the Leader or the follower. You know, when I was talking to people about gun control, some dude came up to me and said, okay, there's, there's, there's a couple kinds of people. You got the sheep, you got the wolves who are hunting the sheep and then you got the sheep dogs like me who are protecting the sheep from the wolves. You understand what I'm saying? And I was 17 and this is on camera somewhere. I was like, so you just said to me there are three types of people enlisted, three animals. And I was so confused by him because I was like, I feel like there's more types of people than this. I think that this is. But recently, in the past couple years, the Sigma male has emerged. And the Sigma is not your traditional boisterous, audacious alpha male who's flagrantly calling the shots as everybody follows. The Sigma is a more complex being. And I found a video that is not only Joe Rogan, it is AI Joe Rogan. It's an AI video of not Joe Rogan. And how could I not make you watch?

[Tim Miller]

Society is pretty fucked. I think in my eyes, this is why Alphas should never mess with Sigmas. You see, Alphas, they're loud, dominant, small vectors. They thrive on control and recognition. But a Sigma, they're quiet, calculating and completely independent. They don't play by anyone else's rules because they make their own. While an Alpha is busy showing off their strength, a Sigma, they're.

[Cam Caskey]

That's so, yeah, no pack, no need.

[Tim Miller]

For validation, just pure strategic moves. And here's the kicker. Sigma's don't seek power, but when they.

[Cam Caskey]

Want it, they take it effortlessly.

[Tim Miller]

So.

[Cam Caskey]

So always remember before messing with a.

[Tim Miller]

Sigma, it's a game you don't even.

[Cam Caskey]

Know you've already lost.

[Tim Miller]

I think that anyone who consumes that video and, and is looking to it for advice or wisdom, I probably has some deep internal issues that they need to deal with and almost certainly has a micro penis. Like, I don't know, I just, I can't imagine anyone with a big dick just verbalizing that they're a Sigma male. I feel like they're overcompensating. And it's just, it's the only thing I think I don't. I'm pretty. I feel pretty strongly about this. Maybe there's one exception to prove every rule, but I think for the most part this is people with micro penises overcompensated.

[Cam Caskey]

I think you and I have one very unspoken thing in common that's not unspoken for any other reason. Than we've never needed to put words to it. But here we are in a circumstance where we can. I'm gonna invent a new type of male. That's me and Tim.

[Tim Miller]

Oh, great.

[Cam Caskey]

Tim and I are Omega males. Omega males are really, really, really straight in the stuff that we're straight about and really, really, really gay in the stuff that we're gay about. The pendulum swings far with the omega male. We are not fence sitters on very many things. In the moments where we are obviously a fucking queen, we are a fairy princess covered in glitter. And then other moments we are a frat bro. And sometimes those two things can change within minutes of each other, occasionally the beginning and the end of the sentence.

[Tim Miller]

And to have the confidence to be able to live with those two selves within you and express them fully and completely and unapologetically is what leads us to being Omega males.

[Cam Caskey]

You know, it's just because it's boring.

[Tim Miller]

Not everyone can do that.

[Cam Caskey]

It's boring.

[Tim Miller]

The alpha male can't do it.

[Cam Caskey]

Well, I was on like men's Twitter because I'm putting together a video to do with fypod contributor dear ex girlfriend of mine, Ellie for the spin off channel tomorrow. I was like going through kind of like alpha male coaching Twitter and everything. And there, there would be these tweets over and over again where they would start to have the right idea about something but then just completely fucking flop in the last while they're finally driving the point in. And one of them was, they say that women don't like bad boys. Women actually do like bad boys. They like guys who are confident, play by their own rules, march to the beat of their own drum, and are unafraid of their masculinity. And I'm like, yeah, but the thing is, your idea of masculinity is a very rigid and narrow thing that the more you try to get guys to adhere to this version of masculinity, the more insecure they are going to be. Thus less confident, thus less appealing to women. Because there's no better way to. To look like fucking effect than to try and look more masculine than you actually are. Like there's like, you know, like the gayest also.

[Tim Miller]

There's nothing more masculine. Let me just tell you this, Mr. Alpha Male man, about, you know, being comfortable in your masculinity. There's nothing more masculine than being. There's nothing more masculine nor more straight than being able to non sexually cuddle with your gay male friend. And if you cannot do that, why are you afraid of the broken? Like, why are you afraid of it? What are you afraid of?

[Cam Caskey]

You're gonna enjoy? You're afraid you're gonna be turned the straightest. The straightest dudes I've ever met are the guys who slap the other guys on the basketball courts asses the hardest because they're showing them some love. And that's how they compete. But what a show with the time we. We have four minutes left. I've. I said to you. You said something nice to me earlier and I said, wait until I'm done showing you the videos I want to show you today. I've got two more quickies. I found something called the Moder project. Night K with Night with a k. Men pay $18,000 for this like 70 something hour training. That's just them getting negged by daddies. I'm not even kidding. Let's take a look.

[Tim Miller]

What happens when we have to go fight another war? What happens when your wife or your kid needs you? Do you don't have the physical or mental capability to help them? You are a liability to your family. Do you want to be a liability? Do you want to be a liability? They put out. Do something. Show up. Put this sledgehammer out. Life is hard. Being a husband's hard. Being a father's hard.

[Cam Caskey]

It's okay.

[Tim Miller]

What is happening there again? Who were the I, I. Who were the men that are being yelled at?

[Cam Caskey]

It's like. It's like a. They pitch it as men's emotional fortitude, business training, leadership skills, apex masculinity course. And you come into. You walk out of it a better father, a better husband, a better businessman. But it's just. It's just these guys getting bullied in the gayest. Holy. Look at this one.

[Tim Miller]

You got something to prove? Do you have something to prove? Prove what? Right? So you got something to prove?

[Cam Caskey]

Yeah.

[Tim Miller]

So prove it. Come on.

[Cam Caskey]

Hey, we don't want to be last.

[Tim Miller]

Come on.

[Cam Caskey]

Here we go.

[Tim Miller]

Here we go.

[Cam Caskey]

Here we go. Hustle, hustle.

[Tim Miller]

Come on.

[Cam Caskey]

Hustle, hustle, hustle. Speed. Don't stop till you get steep.

[Tim Miller]

Don't be last. Don't be last.

[Cam Caskey]

Don't be last. Come on, come on. Don't be last. Don't be last.

[Tim Miller]

I'm getting uncomfortable.

[Cam Caskey]

Okay, there's more, But I. That's $18,000.

[Tim Miller]

Guys, just. Look, the world is tough and it's complex out there, you know? And if you need to be yelled at by a person on the beach in kind of a homoerotic way to help you with your confidence in navigating a confusing world.

[Cam Caskey]

We'll find you somebody who will do it for free. I promise. I'm not going to tell you what I'm saying.

[Tim Miller]

That's one way to put it. I was going to say, I don't know. I feel like this would have more effect if the, if the yeller, you know, if the alpha, if the coach was not, like, doing LARPing tough guy stuff. Like, I want. I want a drag queen yelling at him. You know, I feel like, I feel like if you need to be yelled at by somebody, get a. This gets like, you know, a hairdresser, like a real gay to start, like calling you names and challenging your manhood and maybe that. Maybe I think that might help a little more.

[Cam Caskey]

Everybody, if you're a sinner, enjoy Joe Biden's friend. Cornbreads, gummies. I look forward to seeing you on the other side of the Rapture.

[Tim Miller]

And I will see you at the Rapture October 10th in Washington, D.C. they're playing at the 9:30 Club the night before we go live in New York City. October 11th. And the night two nights after we're live in D.C. october 8th. Go to the Bulwark.com events to get your tickets. And who knows, maybe we'll bring Cam on stage and discuss Omega males with you.

[Cam Caskey]

Yeah, and also follow the Omega male model because it's great and you never think about it and it's fun. Slay queen, pop off. Slay cunt. Eat mother. It's Cam and Tim. Goodbye.
