Timestamp: [00:30]

Tim Pool opens the episode by addressing the recent panic surrounding unidentified drones in New Jersey. He clarifies that the drones were part of a government technology development project conducted by the Air Force Base. Despite rumors and sensational journalism, official documents reveal that the project has been public knowledge for over six years. The FAA had issued warnings for restricted flights over Picatinny Arsenal, eliminating the supposed mystery.

The discussion shifts to the broader political landscape, focusing on the internal struggles within the Democratic Party.

The hosts and Sam Goodwin debate the implications of this shift, suggesting that the Democrats are facing a crisis of identity and support.

3. Corporate Pushback Against 'Woke' Initiatives

The hosts delve into the recent trend of major corporations retracting 'woke' storylines and diversity initiatives.

He emphasizes the importance of "ubiquity" for independent creators to compete with established networks by leveraging billboards, digital ads, and consistent content production.

Notable Quotes:

The drone mystery has been solved, ladies and gentlemen. And of course I hate to break it to you, the story is rather boring. The government was doing technology development. That's it. That, that an air force base got a contract. They were flying some drones around. People panicked. The documentation was all there for the public for eight years, I think six years. And the local airports and FAA were giving out warnings on these things. There's no mystery. Just bad journalism and I guess people being bored. So I mean, I don't know, maybe there's something else to it. Maybe it's a cover. I doubt it. It looks like we got the documents now and no one is surprised to find it's not a story. I think, I think the issue is that Christmas falls on a Wednesday and New Year's falls on a Wednesday and so everybody knows they're getting two weeks of vacation.

Who are you?

[Tim Pool]

What do you do?

[Sam Goodwin]

I came here from St. Louis today, my hometown and I got to admit I was coming out here, I wasn't quite sure where, where it was going. But it's a great, great setup here. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Sam Goodwin]

[Sam Goodwin]

So I run my own speaking business. I speak full time. Conferences, conventions, mostly corporate work. I recently put out a book which maybe talk a little bit about. But that's what's taking up my time today.

[Tim Pool]

Right on. Well, thanks for hanging out. Good to have you. Raymond's here.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Hey everybody. I'm Raymond G. Stanley Jr. I do things here at Tim Cast. I am the resident blue collar and Marine Corps veteran and I'm looking excited to talk about slow news today.

[Phil Labonte]

Hello everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band all that Remains. I'm an anti communist and a counter revolutionary. Tim Here we go.

[Tim Pool]

The big story from the Daily Mail to ruin all of your dreams, to splash cold water in the face of your exciting mysteries. For all of the women who like watching their true crime or paranormal podcasts, let us put that flame out. Uncovered files reveal secret operation at the center of the Drone Invasion and why the White House can deny it well, despite the fact it's a mundane story that's basically very boring, rest assured the Daily Mail is going to try and make that headline a little bit more sensational. The story is actually really boring. Official records show the army has been developing and testing counter terror drones in New Jersey for years amid claims of a government cover up a 2018 defense contract awarded $50 million in private robotics company to develop craft capable of creating 3D maps of urban areas for a counter weapons of mass destruction program. The contract was given out by the Army's armament Research, Development and Engineering center rdec, which is located at the Picatinny Arsenal in Rockaway, New Jersey where mystery drones were first reported last month. Meanwhile, documents show the FAA issued an air restriction alert on November 21, prohibiting flights over the Picatinny Air Base for special security reasons. The White House has claimed the drone sightings, which coincidentally began on November 18, are not a foreign adversary, pose no threat, and are not part of a US Military operation. Retired CIA intel officer Rudy Rudolphi told Daily Mail the faa, this, FAA noticed, shows US Drone testing is happening in the area. It's a warning for others to stay out of the area during those dates. While the nature of the testing isn't specified, it's most likely the testing of payloads related to reconnaissance. So I just. That's it. We've known since 2018 exactly what they're doing. The FAA actually issued warnings over what they were doing. And I gotta say, maybe the reason the story happened is because journalists are lazy and going out of business and no one looked into it until now. But there you go, friends. Literally nothing is happening.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Is it right? Give me some exciting, you know, there's.

[Tim Pool]

A conspiracy going viral about how the government was going to use nuclear materials for a false flag as a means to create more lockdowns and scare people. And I was like, this stuff never happens, dude. I Gotta say, like, I'll take some credit for predicting this, that it was likely some government testing thing, that the drones have FAA lights on them, they're regulated properly. And I think it's a combination of, yes, some technology testing from the military and then a lot of mass hysteria.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

I seen today, like these Breaking points and a couple other shows. They have, they had experts on journalists and experts. So they were really trying to break it down and no one can actually say what was going on. Everyone was in the dark. And then we get it's been revealed and we should have known this the whole time.

[Tim Pool]

Someone in chat said, lol. Tim said it was a plane. It was. That's the point. A bunch of the sightings were just airplanes flying over and people were filming them. I watched a bunch of videos where people were posting on X or posting on. Like, I filmed one of the drones and I'm like, that is a plane. That is just a. An airplane. There's a commercial 737. You can clearly tell it's got the lights blinking and it is flying. Well, I mean, some of them were not, but. Okay, so again, just. Just to. To clarify, we now have reporting that since 2018, they have been doing these drone testings in this area. And the FAA actually issued an alert about the drone tests. And so that's probably what people saw in the first place. Panicked, nobody bothered to look into it. And then mass hysteria took hold and people started filming airplanes and commercial drones. That's a good one. Yeah. Elon. Elon posted that meme I saw, New Jersey Guide to Aircraft Identification. And it's. Every single aircraft is a drone.

[Phil Labonte]

It's the, like, I mean, it is, it is interesting the way that once things start being, you know, once there's a few people talking about something, then more and more people are looking in and start, you know, misidentifying normal aircraft, which have flown over their heads thousands of times probably, and it's never been a thing thing. But because curious drones are, you know, at the top of people's mind. They're like, oh, look, maybe that's a drone. Because everybody wants to believe that it's something interesting, right? Like, the whole reason this stuff catches on is because everyone is like, maybe it's. Maybe it's this, this, this secret thing. It's intrigue. It's interesting than my normal life, whatever. I mean, it's the same reason that we watch dramas and stuff on. Watch these stories on TV and stuff. But as usual, I think people are bored.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, that's why? True crime podcasts and mystery podcasts. And it's why people like conspiracy theories. Because life is routine. It is mundane. It is exactly what you thought it was. World War III is not starting. There's not a missing nuclear weapon from Ukraine. Or how about this? They backdated these fake reports.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, there you go.

[Tim Pool]

Cover up that there actually is a drone crisis.

[Phil Labonte]

You know, when you want to believe, you can. You can come up with a story to make it.

[Tim Pool]

Well, did you see those flat Earthers? I went to Antarctica. I finally admitted the Earth's not flat.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

No. Did they?

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, how many. How many of them were there? And did they convince any other flat Earthers?

[Tim Pool]

Well, I don't know, but the video went massively viral where the guy was like, yup, that's 24 hour sun.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, because they were supposed. They were supposed to go to the ice wall, right? And they were gonna prove. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And then sitting there under the 24 hour sun and they're like, how is that possible unless the Earth is round?

[Phil Labonte]

Sometimes when the government says things, it's telling the truth.

[Tim Pool]

I know it's shocking, but Earth really is. But the government isn't telling us the Earth is round. It's just general. Humans did it.

[Phil Labonte]

Fair enough, fair enough. But yeah, it is. You know, the sun rises in the east, sets in the west.

[Tim Pool]

I want. I wonder if.

[Phil Labonte]

Sphere.

[Tim Pool]

I wonder if this is just. You know, everybody went nuts over politics for a long time and it displaced pop culture.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

I wonder if now that Trump won and won the popular vote, Democrats are just spiraling. There's no real mean opposition. Everyone kind of agrees Trump was right, and so now pop culture might just become pop culture again.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, that would be awesome. That would be great. I mean, like, we talk about the. The desire is to have the normal Democrats, you know, isolate the. The crazy leftists and stuff. So it would be nice that if, If. Nor if pop culture became, you know, you know, separated from politics. I would love to see it. I heard someone. There's been a lot of people talking on, like, the regular news on Fox News and stuff like that about how the, The. The big, like, CEOs and stuff have gone all been going to Donald Trump and kissing the ring and stuff. And you got, you know, Joe Scarborough and you've got, you know, I think the Bezos and stuff. And there's been multiple people that have been going, okay, well, we're going to go talk to. Talk to Trump and stuff. And I think, you know, I've said before, I think it's a good sign. And it would be great if this were, you know, if this were a sign that politics stopped being the thing that everybody was doing. And we could just hang out with people that have different politics and, you know, agree that. We don't have to agree, but we can still be civil to each other.

[Tim Pool]

One of the first segments we did on this show was a review for Sonic the Hedgehog.

[Phil Labonte]

Which one?

[Tim Pool]

The movie.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

The first one.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, the first.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, okay. Okay. The. The movie.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. And we talked about Skinwalker Ranch, and it was generally just. Just trying to hang out at night and talk about whatever was going on. And then it's 2020, the lockdowns start.

[Phil Labonte]

Yep.

[Tim Pool]

And everybody becomes politics. And then we get lockdowns for basically two years. So everyone's just screaming politics. Then you get the midterms, then you get the primaries and Trump's return. And finally the whole thing exploded on November 5th with Trump sweeping the Republicans, winning everything. And Christmas is so close. Everybody is just ready to be like, I'm a chill.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, I like that.

[Tim Pool]

But there are a lot of people who still don't think that the Democrats will relent or let up that, you know, when we go on break. So Friday's our last show. We'll be at AM Fest in Phoenix for Turning Point USA's year end. It's our third year doing it. I'm really excited. I'm really grateful that Charlie Kirk has us every year. It's one of the coolest things ever to do. Our last show of the year on stage in front of this massive audience of thousands of people is amazing. And then we won't be back till January 6, the day. That's right, the anniversary it's gonna be. And we're gonna have Lectern guy and Richie McInnes back to veterans. Oh, perfect. Of January 6th.

[Sam Goodwin]

Richie's coming back.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, he's coming back. Yeah, he's been on a million times, but he'll be back. And, and that will be the day they count the votes for Trump. So the other news, I guess today was the day they certified Trump won. Like today was when they actually collected the votes and they were all submitted by the states confirming that Trump is the winner of the election. Now we'll see if Democrats throw a fit on January6. But I guess I'm curious. Some people have been saying that there's going to be a media collapse across the board. CNN is already facing its. Its, its like record low again. We'll talk about that in a second. But the Argument is the entire media apparatus of independent media has been built upon politics for the past four or five years. So all of these personalities now have nothing to talk about. What are they going to do? There was a really great example, actually of someone gave a critique of David Pakman, liberal guy, I don't know if you guys know who he is, where he basically took a mundane interview with Alina Haba and then acted like it was really bad because he had nothing to talk about. He was like, oh, she said she embarrassed stuff. It was so bad. And it was like just mundane, normal, normal interview hit. And that's, and that's kind of the bet is that the big spike in viewership that everybody's been seeing over the past couple of years and the growth of these channels, everyone's going to immediately shift over to like Aiden Ross or something or Mr. Beast and they're just going to be like, yeah, don't eat anymore. We're going to watch video games again. And that's it.

[Phil Labonte]

It would, I mean, it would be great. What's, you know, what's, what's your sense, Sam? Do you, do you feel like the temp, the temperature has changed since the election? Or is that something that you're cognizant of? Or.

[Sam Goodwin]

I mean, I think a little bit. I mean, I'm pretty optimistic about what's ahead, but still a lot to. A lot to be seen. It'd be interesting to have Richie back here on January 6th and see what he has to say. I know he was here last night. He left his book here, so. Yeah, I was happy about that.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. You know, I mean, like I said, you know, I mean, I'm hopeful, but I don't know.

[Tim Pool]

Well, I'm, you know, the argument people are making is they're like, what are you going to do, Tim, when politics is not a thing? We're going to talk about movies and stuff. I don't know. This is what we were doing before politics and then they forced us to do it and it is offensive deeply. Like I said, the, for one of the. I've been saying this for years, you know, like one of the first shows we were talking about was just like, hey, Son of the Hedgehog came out like, let's chill and hang out. We're friends. And then politics took everything over. I'm like, I have a political show. It's in the morning. Yeah, it's always been the case.

[Phil Labonte]

It's not like, it's not like the, the, the. Like, politics is what we desire to, to be talking about. It's. It's just, it's a, it's pop culture and stuff like that is is what we're doing here and so or just you know, social commentary. So there's always going to be the news to talk about whether or not it's political news or not doesn't isn't necessary.

[Tim Pool]

Let's, let's jump to the story from the post Millennial Disney's Pixar cut trans storyline from upcoming series says parents would rather discuss issue on their own terms.

[Phil Labonte]

You do not say when it comes.

[Tim Pool]

To animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subject with their children on their own terms and timeline. Yes indeed they say after years of blah blah blah Pixar's Win Lose series saying that perhaps parents of blah blah blah. Who wrote this? Libby, Come on Libby, don't bear the lead. Win or Lose is a long form series from Pixar, the first anime the an animation studios made. It was meant to showcase a trans storyline but that has since been quashed. So we have this from Deadline. Win or Lose Transgender actress speaks out after Disney cuts her storyline Very disheartened. I was exactly what they wanted to a T and that's why it felt so right. It just felt so right. I immediately asked my mom if I could do it because it felt like if I don't do this it wouldn't make sense. You know what I mean? Sue eventually scored the voiceover job for Win or Lose, which revolves around a co ed softball team in the middle school named the Pickles. In the week leading up to their big championship game, Stewart couldn't wait to share the news with her friends. And then they canceled it because WOKE is broke and nobody wants to make this stuff anymore. So I'm wondering where we go from here because it seems like all the big companies have gotten the message Bud Light, Target. Now you've got Disney who lost a billion dollars. You got the Volvo commercial, got the Apple commercial. Guys, it feels like the dam has broken. Or I'll tell you this. Before the election we didn't know was going to happen after the election it is a snowball that was knocked off the cliff and by now it is a 10 ton boulder of ice rolling down this mountain. With Disney canceling these storylines and more and more companies basically saying we're not going to this WOKE stuff anymore, seems like absolute victory is is fast approaching.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean there's a lot of people that are really, really unhappy with the idea of corporations Like Disney, you know, planting. Essentially planting seeds in their children's head. If your kid has inclinations to. To be gay or something like that, they're going to, you know, they're going to want to explore it there. And hopefully, if you've got a good, good relationship with your kid, they'll want to talk to you about it. But Pixar, you know, putting this stuff into movies in. In essence, it's like, it's. It's back to the old centering the margins. And you really. I don't understand why. Well, I mean, it's a political ploy, but you. You should. As a society, we should not want companies to be centering the margins. We should want companies that produce content that's for everybody. That's not. Well, specifically for people with, you know, with gender dysphoria or with people that are gay or bisexual.

[Tim Pool]

If they stop doing it and just make content that is for everybody, including LGBTQ people, instead of only for LGBTQ people, they will make more money. And if they don't, they will go out of business. And, you know, I could give a damn.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

One of the best things, I think that's why we try so hard for, was to get Trump, you know, to win. Because once he won, since that day, man, since he won and he got the. And he got the mandate, it's. Everything feels like everything's changing for the better, for us, for mankind, for culture, for the world. Just. That was. That was what we needed to get over the hump, to get over the hill.

[Unknown]

I feel like, like a vibe shift. A lot of people that are, like, that were previously quiet, I think even in, like, Hollywood in that whole scene, and probably you can talk to this as well, Phil. They kind of just. I mean, everyone's mad at them saying, oh, you should be mad at these people for, like, having been scared to come out of the woodwork before. But now they feel emboldened and now they're willing to. We shouldn't be, like, saying, rebuking them and telling them off for coming out and standing up against it. We should finally being like, yes, normalize it. It's fine to like Trump. It's totally normal. You previously thought it was scary. Now you've seen the numbers, and I see everyone vote for it. It's fine. Talk about it. It's good for us.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. I think what we see here and what's been happening right now, there are a lot of people that are celebrating, we did it, we won. You know, CNN's ratings are the worst they've ever been. And you know, the rise of independent media, it's the podcast presidency.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

We are six months out. I guarantee you, from all these big networks hiring liberal pundits on massive salaries and putting billboards up in New York and dumping $20 million on YouTube to take this space away.

[Phil Labonte]

It is an ideal. Like there is a, an ideology on the left. And just because there has been a backlash against it from the average person doesn't mean that the left doesn't want to get back to pushing that ideology. You know, if, if they have a, if there is a plan on the left to, to have a certain segment of society be, be the focal point and there's a pushback on it, that doesn't mean that they're going to stop. That just means that they'll go ahead and they'll lay off for a little while and then they'll start pushing again. Maybe in a different, different manner, but it's still going to be, it's still going to be the ideology that they want to see brought to fruition. Because there are people on the left that are so ideologically possessed that you can simp that you could say, no, that's a religion. You could easily mistake it for a religion when it, when it comes to, you know, people that are, that are looking for a restructuring of society.

[Unknown]

Yeah, you've been in a lot of places as well. Do you have, like, contacts that have maybe observed this? I'm sure that you maybe have people that are like, you know, in your life that have maybe seen this happen in other countries. Because what I've personally seen, even in other countries, I know it's the American election, but let's be honest, like, that's watershed for, for the planet. A lot of. How do you feel about that? Have you seen anybody that's been talking about it in any of your of.

[Sam Goodwin]

Your spheres kind of related to that? Like, one thing that I've learned from, from my travels is that so many people, despite everything that, that happens and, and there's all these things going on, so many people still want to be American. And I think there's more, you know, before I've traveled every country in the world, there's more opportunity here than, than anywhere else. And I think that a lot of people see it that way. And so we've. A lot, a lot of good things happen. Still a lot of things to work out. But that's one thing that I always think about is just the way that people still want to be American. And I think a lot of that revolves around the opportunity that's here.

[Unknown]

Totally. I mean, like, a lot of the.

[Sam Goodwin]

Stuff, you lived in Singapore, you've been around the world.

[Unknown]

Yeah, totally. But I mean, like, all this stuff, too is like, it's like the they're cutting the train storyline and stuff like that. They're kind of going back to, like, what is, what is essentially saying it's okay to be American. That used to be, like, Not. It was used to be. Yeah, to be human, literally. But it used to be so uncool to say, like, oh, I like being American. Like, I remember, like, what, four years ago, if you said, I like being American, all the lefties in Hollywood freak out being like, what? Oh, you like being a colonizer and all this nonsense. It's. Yes, it's nonsense, but nobody wants to.

[Tim Pool]

Live in this world, man. They. This is what we've been talking about for a long time. People just want to go to the bar. They want to order some wings, you know, they want to get ranch blue cheese is gross.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

No, no, Vice.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, you guys are wrong. And they want carrots, not celery, because celery is anti food.

[Phil Labonte]

That's good.

[Tim Pool]

And they want to watch a sporting event. They want to watch ufc. They want to. I want to watch ufc. Some people watch football. And we've been trapped in this world because the people who hate Donald Trump couldn't shut up about it. And the media wanted to make money off of it. CNN literally hired a guy to do entertainment when Trump came in to turn the whole news industry into wwe. And we're just over here being like, how do we get back to, I don't know, watching a movie about a train with a face that needs to discover what it means to be a train instead of a train. That's gay.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

He's got to get over that hill, that train. You know, it's working hard. You know what? I think I can. I think I can. I think I can go back to that. To being riding yourself.

[Tim Pool]

When did up come out?

[Phil Labonte]

Geez, that was. What, what year I'm looking?

[Tim Pool]

God, 2011. Someone googled the movie up and, And I'll be honest, like, that movie is actually not good except for the 10 minutes. 2009.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

The beginning of it, right?

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

The beginning of up is like one of the best movies ever, but the rest of it is just kind of like, okay, I guess, get off the.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Balloons, Bo, bro, let him go.

[Tim Pool]

And I don't even know. I don't even remember the rest of the movie, to be honest. It was like a. A mad scientist or something is trying to steal their house. I have no idea.

[Phil Labonte]

You know, to your, to your point, though, it was good. Yeah. To your point about, you know, people wanting to see, you know, just be entertained and be able to. To. To, you know, escape from the day to day slogan. One of the really bad things about the politicization of everything was the fact that you couldn't escape. It seeped its way into movies. It became such a part of pop culture where you couldn't watch television shows without having the message be shoved down your throat. You can't watch movies. And there are whole franchises that people have said, I don't want to watch that stuff anymore. The Star wars franchise has ruined it. They destroyed a lot of people. I mean, they ruined a lot of people's interest. The people that were writing the bad movies, Tim.

[Tim Pool]

So you're talking about a dominant group of people in Hollywood who write movies.

[Phil Labonte]

Writers. Writers.

[Tim Pool]

I was. I was trapping you in the corner.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. So, I mean, they. They. The writers and the people that were. Were. Were ideologically possessed and believed that their job wasn't just to tell good stories, but was to tell people how they're supposed to think in these stories. They wrote bad movies, and they destroyed properties.

[Tim Pool]

I think it started off with, you get some TV show in, like, the 2000s, and some producers, like, I have an idea to get us attention. What's your idea? We're gonna make a gay character. And they're like, oh, that's risque. You know, like Star Trek, the first one. You had Uhura do the first interracial kiss on tv, and that was a big deal, you know, back then. And they were like, we could have that moment. And then you basically get literally everybody being like, well, every relationship in the show has to be gay. Like, there's no. What was it? You guys ever watched Jessica Jones?

[Phil Labonte]

No.

[Tim Pool]

First season.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

So, like, there's, like, there's a cop side character in it, and they don't really mention his relationship status. And on the last season, all of a sudden, Jessica Jones has a. Has a. Has an employee who's trans, and the cop is talking about his boyfriend. And I'm like, now, hold on there a minute. Like, why did you have to just jam those things into a story where it didn't exist? Jessica Jones didn't have a receptionist. She worked by herself because she's antisocial with a drinking problem. Now she has a transgender receptionist. It's just fine. I guess it's just okay. And then the cop who's been helping her, all of a sudden, he's having problems with his boyfriend. And I'm like, wait, why? Why? I just want to. I want to watch a show where the superhero jumps in the air and punches the giant lizard. Okay. You know, I. I deal with this stuff enough.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

My day made it day to day. I don't got to go to the movies and watch this stuff.

[Phil Labonte]

But that's the sentiment that a lot of people I think have is why are you putting this stuff into the shows that I enjoy or into the, the, you're making the stories that, that I enjoy about something that I have no reason to care about because, you know, I'm not, I'm not LGBT or, or whatever, you know.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, I, I'd like to say we're winning, but let's jump to the story from deadlines and, and I'll start by saying this first, let me read the headline. Conservative documentary Am I Racist? Snubbed by Oscar doc voters despite claiming box office crown. I'll start by saying, you know, we, we've won a lot. Ladies and gentlemen, Disney just announced, we were talking about the previous segment. They're getting rid of that transgender storyline. Woke is broke. Target regrets it. Bud Light regrets it. They never gonna recover. And so with the political victories, the cultural victories, we are charging ahead and we need to make sure that we keep on doing this. But then you get this story. And I don't know if anyone expected anything different, to be honest. Matt Walsh made one of the best comedies I've seen in probably a decade. Plus, if you haven't seen Am I Racist, you need to, because despite them calling it a political documentary, it's not really. It's Matt Walsh playing a character where he wants to do the work and learn how to not be racist or be anti racist, whatever. And it's slapstick comedy. I tell people, like an example of one of the jokes is that Matt Walsh is carrying a stack of plates and he trips and he drops them. That's it. He doesn't preach anything. And they do. There's a, there's a really funny bit where everybody's seen this already. He convinces Robin Diangelo to pay reparations to his black producer and they, they show on screen how much money they paid her to do this. It's like $15,000. And then when she hands $35 over, the number goes down. It was really well done, but they weren't saying anything overtly political. They were showing it to you and making fun of the whole scenario. I'm not surprised to see that they submitted for the Oscars as they should, because it is one of the most successful documentaries in decades and it was an amazing comedy. And they say that Am I Racist? The controversial documentary that satirizes diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, failed to make the Oscar shortlisted of nonfiction features today despite earning more money at the box office than any other documentary this year. By far, the Film was directed by Justin Folk featuring Matt Walsh going undercover to infiltrate DEI seminars. Yes, but they're making it seem like it was a serious documentary. His character in the film, he caricature of himself, is trying to do the work to be anti racist. There's a Matt Walsh fight scene. You guys have seen it, right? Yeah, they.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

I missed that.

[Tim Pool]

When they reenact Jesse Smollett with Matt Walsh and he's fighting the Maca Bros.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yes.

[Tim Pool]

Now that the movie's been out, I don't mind to spoil it, but it's unsurprising to see in Hollywood in these institutions, they are still trying to say no. So what I'll say right now is we've had tremendous victories across the board. We now have to entrench everything we're doing as the institution. Now's the time where we have to. We have to board the line. Yes, but. And specifically, we need to. We need ubiquity. Matt Walsh and Daily Wire attempted an Oscar. Makes sense. You want to infiltrate their institutions and say, hey, look, we play by the rules. We made a documentary. It made a lot of money. It was at the box office. What's the problem? Well, they say we don't. We don't want to have you because it's gatekeeping. I tell you what you need now, because they're going to. Democrats are going to do this. Mark my words. They've got to put up billboards and TV commercials for Matt Walsh's show. You.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

His regular show.

[Tim Pool]

His regular show. Rumble needs to do this. Daily Wire needs to do this. We need to do this. Everybody needs to be doing this. I remember when I worked at Vice, my cousin texted me saying that she was watching Hulu and then all of a sudden heard my voice and looked up and saw me in a Vice commercial because Vice had done a big TV and digital commercial run. That's ubiquity. They got ads and billboards put up in all of these cities. And that tells people we are number one, we are the best. We are in control. We have the power. Independent producers in these companies have not been. Been doing that. That's why I think am I racist? Which was a massive success because they went into theaters.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And I was in a theater in D.C. in a deep, liberal area, and it was packed with people laughing and watching this film. I'm like, this. Ubiquity is everything. The people who come into a movie theater and see the poster for Matt Walsh, Daily Wire should be buying billboards in Times Square. It's not that Expensive. They can easily afford it. They should be putting up billboards in every major city. They should be buying Digital commercials on YouTube, TV and other other cable channels. They should have commercial. And they've been doing this. Don't get me wrong, they had commercials running on msnbc. This ubiquity. Ubiquity is where we need to go next. Lest the democratic machine, the uniparty machine, is going to turn around and say, why are we Giving Rachel Maddow $25 million for 30,000 views on viewers when we could put $5 million into insert liberal YouTuber and then put billboards up everywhere and tell people. That is the. Is the narrative you have to maintain.

[Phil Labonte]

When you're ahead and you have the opportunity to score, you keep scoring.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Amen.

[Phil Labonte]

You keep scoring and you keep scoring and you run the score up as lopsided as you possibly can. And there are a lot of people that used to get mad when the New England Patriots.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

I was going to bring that up. Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

They would add. They would, they'd be ahead and they would keep just doing everything they could to score and score and score and score. People really got mad. But if you look at the way that the Patriots played, they. Even when they were down, they. They fought like they were up. They did the exact same thing. It was the AFC Championship game, I think. I forget. I forget which game it was, but it. They were down. Like, if they were down by like 30 points.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Super bowl, they were down by Atlanta by like 30 points.

[Phil Labonte]

That's what it was. It was, it was, it was the Atlanta at halftime, they were down by like 30 points and they came back to win because they have the attitude of when you have the opportunity to score, you keep scoring. If you're ahead, you keep scoring. And that's how you make sure that the people that you're. That you just. That you just got ahead of, they don't come back. Atlanta dropped the ball and they didn't keep shoving the ball down the Patriots throat. And the Patriots were able to come back because Atlanta dropped the ball. When you're ahead, you have to keep scoring because your opponents are not going to stop. Just like Tim said the other night, at some point, you know, Disney's going to dump a bunch of money into this space and try to take over the space they're going to find.

[Tim Pool]

That's why they're not letting Matt Walsh in.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

The attitude of these people in Hollywood right now are like, they, they're winning. They're making massively successful films, music, we need to reclaim the space. So they're in. In their mind, it's hold the line. Yes, we see the success, but do not give them space. Yeah, they want six months from now to recoup and reassess. They don't get rid of dei, they rename it. That Disney is recoiling with like these, these storylines because they know they're losing money. Crazy thing here is that Disney apparently is losing viewers on Disney plus and they're losing sponsors because nobody watches any of the. Any of the stuff on there. So, you know, I'm chilling.

[Phil Labonte]

And it's not just like. I mean, obviously, like, the point of this is that they were. They were shut out. But I saw that. I believe it was Billboard gave Ronnie Radke's band F I R. I forget the name. Falling In Reverse. He gave them the. The artist of the Year. And Ronnie is outspokenly not woke. He's very against the woke stuff. And so the. One of the biggest bands in the music industry right now, or at least in the hard rock industry, is completely against the. The message that's been coming out of the entertainment industry for the past. Better part of the past ten years or so. So there are victories that, that are happening and there's a lot of people that are going to respond to that and say, you know what, the whole woke stuff, I'm over it. But it took. It took a grassroots effort to do that first. It took people that were willing to take that risk. You know, Falling in Reverse is a huge band right now, but six, seven years ago, and they've been around for ages. Six, seven years ago, they were playing clubs, you know, they were playing venues that are a thousand thousand caps, you know, and now they're, they're, you know, selling out 16,000, 17,000 seat arenas. But it's because they were ahead of the curve and they were, they were. They're trendsetters, you know, So I think that, that the general population, like, we. We kind of all feel it and see it. Everyone's over hating America. Everyone's over the woke stuff. You look at the way the businesses are responding and there's a lot of energy and excitement about the future for.

[Tim Pool]

The U.S. how do Democrats respond to this? Right? They can't keep doing what they're doing. They can't just keep making these woke storylines that nobody wants to watch where they're burning money. They can't do these Dylan Mulvaney things where they lose a third of their market share in a month. But they have to do something. They can't just agree with Trump. Fetterman's trying it, you know, come out publicly, you know, publicly stating like, oh, you know the Republicans, they are, they do okay. And I think Democrats went too far left. And then he goes to the Senate and he just votes on whatever Democrats want. So he's publicly acting like he's more moderate and understanding of the Republican, the right and the conservatives. And then he's still voting forwarding the line for Democrats.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know that I have an answer. I would like to see more moderation when it comes to the policy from the left. I don't know that that's, that we're going to get it.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

I don't know what they have left. Like they, they're losing the middle class workers. They're losing a lot of what their old bases and they're just now they have their small minority of fringe far leftists and or terrible policymakers.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Like who's the base of the Democrat Party going forward?

[Tim Pool]

They got nothing.

[Unknown]

They got nothing. Split.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, that's, I'm not kidding. Let's, let's, let's pull the story up. I talked about it earlier. Here you go from Fox News top Harris aide hypes radical activist who said America deserved 911 while plotting the future for Democrats. House Democrat called Hassan Piker a poster child for the post October 7th outbreak of anti Semitism America earlier this year. Sure. But now you have a Harris Aiden saying that they need more. Fox is really not happy with Hassan. Okay.

[Phil Labonte]

I'm glad they aren't. So they.

[Tim Pool]

Let me just, let me just try and give you the statement from this Democrat without the flare. I'll give you the Fox News flare in a second quote. We need this whole thriving ecosystem. Flaherty told Semaphore. It's not just pod save America though I think we should, we should have more of them. It's not just Hasan Piker. We should have more Hasan Pikers. It's also the cultural creators, the folks who are one rung out who influence the nonpartisan audience. Those things all need to happen together.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

So they're not. Fox says a top aide for Vice President Harris's failed campaign recently called for more cultural voices like vocal anti America, anti Israel Twitch star Hasan Piker who previously faced backlash for saying America deserved 9 11.

[Phil Labonte]

Do the Democrats really want to hitch their wagon to someone that is anti American? And Hasan is openly anti American. He is clearly anti American.

[Tim Pool]

Would you call him anti Semitic? I don't watch Enough of his stuff to know that he's ever actually done, like, how far he's gone to that. I know he's anti Israel.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And as a distinction, of course, but. And then there also is, for a lot of people online, an overlap. I don't know what Hasan's positions are to say. He's. I know his idea is real. Yeah. But the reason I ask is because with the Twitch adpocalypse, all these people are losing all of their revenue, all their income because of accusations of anti Semitism. And I'm kind of being like, is that just advertisers who don't know the difference and are scared or are there actually people on Twitch who are going outright full on?

[Phil Labonte]

He does tolerate it. At the very least. One of his mods, Frogan, she's anti Semitic. Purely. There's no question.

[Tim Pool]

I think she's.

[Unknown]

I don't know if she's hilarious.

[Tim Pool]

Oh, yeah, Frogan came up in the Twitch apocalypse.

[Unknown]

Yeah, that's right. I don't know if she's still there or not, actually. I know she got removed for a period of time for what she had done and what she'd said.

[Tim Pool]

What. What did she do?

[Unknown]

Basically just. Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

And.

[Unknown]

And stuff. So it's always, it's always weird how like this, this horseshoe has come back around. Like the far left and far right are meeting on like, oh, it's the Jews. And it's just. Just where we're at now.

[Phil Labonte]

Okay. So I don't know if she's currently his. His mod, but I know that she was for a long time. And she was anti Semitic for a long time. Purely anti Semitic. There was no. There was no. Oh, just. I don't like Israel. It was. It was, you know, overt, Overt antisemitism. Well, and he tolerates that. He. He at least. And he at least, you know, allows someone like that to be his moderator. So maybe he's not anti Semitic, but he doesn't have.

[Tim Pool]

I don't know. I don't know. All I'm saying is. All right, we're all set for the party. I've trimmed the tree, hung the mistletoe, and paired all those weird shaped knives and forks with the appropriate cheeses. And I plugged in the Partisan. Partisan, It's a home cocktail maker that makes over 60 premium cocktails, plus a whole lot of seasonal favorites too. I just got it for 50 off, so how about a Cosmopolitan or a Mistletoe margarita? I'm thirsty.

[Phil Labonte]

Watch.

[Tim Pool]

I just pop in a capsule, choose my strength.

[Phil Labonte]

And wow, it's beginning to feel more.

[Sam Goodwin]

Seasonal in here already.

[Tim Pool]

If your holiday party doesn't have a bartender, then you become the bartender. Unless you've got a Bartesian, because Bartisian crafts every cocktail perfectly in as little as 30 seconds. And I just got it for $50 off. Tis the season to be jollier. Add some holiday flavor to every celebration with the sleek, sophisticated home cocktail maker Bartesian.

[Phil Labonte]

Get $50 off any cocktail maker at bartesian.com cocktail that's B-A-R-T-E-S-I-A N.com cocktail this.

[Tim Pool]

Is a guy that's been accused of being responsible for the ad apocalypse on Twitch. So I would just like to say to all the Democrats, you need Hasan, Piker and more of them because the donors are going to dump. They're going to stop donating. You already saw a massive collapse of the Democratic Party over the the pro Hamas faction of the progressive left. And it's fascinating how a lot of these people try to play this dirty game. Dude, if you tell me you're critical of Israel, I say, tell me more. If you tell me you're critical of Israel and you blame the Jews, I'll say, now hold on there a minute. You were allowed to criticize a government in a country. The issue is, after October 7th happened, all sane, rational people are like, this is horrifying. We don't want this to happen. This needs to be stopped. And you had people in Times Square celebrating it, cheering, saying that freedom fighters had descended on the occupying force. And when people would come out and say, they're celebrating Hamas, they're anti Semitic, many of the liberals and left would say, you can't say that. They're criticizing Israel, not the Jews. And it's like, dude, they're, they're anti Semitic. Like, I am drawing a distinction between the people who are like, I think Israel is, is a, is, is going too far. It's like, okay, let's, let's have a conversation about a government and its military actions. And then there is the far left that are overtly blaming Jews and cheering on Hamas and Hezbollah.

[Phil Labonte]

Yep.

[Tim Pool]

So that, that is a problem for Democrats. I don't know where Hasan falls in that because I don't really follow his content.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Ditto.

[Tim Pool]

Probably should, though, because he is, he's substantially more prominent than Rachel Maddow.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Right. Who cares about CNN and MSNBC anymore because they're, they're lost. But I rob flattery Democrats. He should definitely agree with you. Timmy should get promoted as he did great work with Harris campaign and he's going to do. He may be the head of the gnc.

[Tim Pool]

He should handle the recruitment for their new thriving ecosystem of cultural creators.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

It's going to be so successful.

[Sam Goodwin]

Let me ask you guys this. Who do you think will be the candidate in 2020, 20, 2028 for the Democrats?

[Tim Pool]

AOC probably gruesome.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Newsome maybe. I don't, I don't know. I just don't know because they, they, they like four years.

[Tim Pool]

A long time.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

You know?

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

So what you want to do right now is we got four years. Who, where, where are the 35 to 38 year olds who are rising stars in the Democratic Party? I'm not quite Richie Torres.

[Phil Labonte]

I don't know that Richie Torres will be the guy. But that's better. That's, that's someone that, I mean, it could be.

[Tim Pool]

I mean maybe Fetterman Cortez, 2028.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

What do you, what do you think, sir?

[Sam Goodwin]

No, I, I don't know the answer. I'm just talking about the future of the Democrats. I think it's a question that I don't know the answer to.

[Phil Labonte]

Richie Torres. I think Richie Torres. If you don't know who he is, take a look.

[Tim Pool]

I don't know.

[Phil Labonte]

He is, he's, he's one of the, one of the handful of guys that have been speaking out against the far left influence. He's from the Bronx. Yeah. He's, he's got a lot of base.

[Tim Pool]

Or is he cringe?

[Phil Labonte]

Well, he's a Democrat, so he's cringe. So he's cringe. I mean there, he's, there's. No, there. Are there any base Democrats?

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Local ones.

[Tim Pool]

Rokhan is all right.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Like, Ro Khan has defended free speech, but he's, he's also not at the same time. Like there's been some issues where Roe's been rather reasonable and I can respect that. You know, I don't want to say none.

[Phil Labonte]

I think that's that. I think that's where he would fall in.

[Tim Pool]

AOC will, will say whatever her audience tells her to say.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

So if we just basically 51% attack her Twitter account, then she'll just completely go mega.

[Phil Labonte]

I thought that she already had because of the, the way that her, the voting panned out in her district.

[Tim Pool]

Well, not, not full maga, but, you know, for those who don't know what a 51% attack is, it's when you control 51% of nodes in a decentralized system so you can control the direction it moves. The idea would be if 51% of AOC followers and responses are from people who are like AOC, we're huge fans of yours. Did you know that Trump is good and you basically do that until she's like, I'll just say whatever you want me to say because that's who she is.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Didn't Nancy Pelosi just tell her she came, she got for the chair of the oversight committee? Yeah, I believe they, you know, as he lost that they stopped there.

[Phil Labonte]

It was a set and they went with a 70 something year old guy. Guy, he's got cancer. People like Emma Vigland are, are up in arms about it. So it's.

[Tim Pool]

Well, we do have that one pulled it up. We'll, we'll pull that one up in a second.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Well, I hope they keep doing what they're doing. If they're going to keep doing stuff like that.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, I don't know how the Democrats recover. I really don't. Well, this is, Wait, wait. Like, I, I don't know if I should, I should save this for the next segment, but we've long lamented the, we've long feared the Democrats would create a uni party system in this country. A literal unit, a single party that controls everything and it's communist. Is that just going to happen with the Republican Party because the Democrats have basically imploded?

[Phil Labonte]

I don't think so. Because I think that there is a civil war going on in the Democrats. Right. In the Democrat Party right now. I think that you have people in the far left that are represented by people like Hasan, people probably like AOC and they, their argument is we should have gone further left. Their argument is, is Kamala Harris was too conservative. She was, she was too much of a, of a corporate hack, blah, blah, blah. We should have gone further left. Now all of the indicators are that they're wrong, that they're, they're, they wouldn't, if they had gone for, if the Democrats had gone further left, they would have lost in a more dramatic way than they did. But the argument they make is, oh, the progressives actually stayed home. They didn't come out and vote for Kamala Harris. So actually we would have done better. I think they're wrong, but that's what the argument is. So the Democrats need to figure out what they're going to do. Are they going to go with a more progressive policy? Are they going to go more progressive like Hasan would like, or are they going to go back towards People like Fetterman and like Richie Torres and stuff like that.

[Tim Pool]

I mean, if the Democratic Party decides to moderate and go to the middle, then you basically just have the Republican Party because Democrats have nothing to offer in contrast to a moderate Donald Trump. Trump coming out saying we should secure the border is not an extremist position. The Democrats chose for it to be because they have to offer an alternative. They have to give a reason why Trump is a bad choice, and they don't have one. Because Trump is moderate. He is not a staunch far right conservative. He's like a moderate right leaning guy at this point. And he used to be a Democrat. Now he's only right leaning because the left has gone nuts. The Democrats have no choice. The only option they can offer is the far left. Otherwise they're gonna come out and they're gonna be like, you're gonna get Fetterman. He's gonna say, look, yo, we want the working class to be able to afford groceries, and the Republic is gonna be like, yes, we do too. And under our plan, here's what we did to achieve that. Fetterman, what have you to offer? And he's gonna say, this the same thing, but vote for me, I guess. And they're going to be like, why? Why change it if it's working?

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, well, there's a time where the, the biggest difference between the Democrats and the Republicans was. Were small things. Everybody in the US Was kind of like, yes, we're all gen. We're all against communism except for the. The only the. The furthest extreme fringe on the left. But now, like, even what you would consider left leaning Democrats, a lot of them are. Are sympathetic to, you know, some socialist policies and people. When people say things like, oh, we want it like it is in Europe and stuff. Not that I want that, but that's what they're saying. They want more. More social policies that, that represent. Yeah, maybe a more populist, but. Or a more authoritarian.

[Tim Pool]

Ben, let's, let's gloat a little bit, my friends. This is a story from the Post. Millennial Democrats reject AOC for ranking Oversight Committee spot. Opt for elderly infirm Gerry Connolly.

[Phil Labonte]

Poor guys.

[Tim Pool]

Okay, I got to say, I feel great and I feel miserable about this. I'll explain. Quote, I think my colleagues were measuring their votes by who's got experience, who's seasoned, who can be trusted, who's capable on it, who's got a record of productivity. Okay.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

She was, wasn't she? The vp, the site, the. The of the Oversight Committee. She was just the aoc.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, I don't know. Let's read. Rep. Jerry Connolly emerged victorious Tuesday in a fight with AOC over who would be the rank of the House Oversight Committee. The Democratic establishment ultimately rallied around the 74 year old Connelly, who defeated the 34 year old Progressive Squad member by a vote of 131 to 84. Connelly has been a member of the committee since 09, but revealed on November 7 that he is suffering from esophagus cancer. Would it be esophageal cancer? Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi encouraged her fellow Democrats to oppose AOC's candidacy and back Connolly. So here's why I'm happy. AOC is a bad person. She is a liar. She lied about what happened on January 6th. It's despicable. I'm not kidding. She claimed that there's a knock on her door. So she went hid in the bathroom. Say what?

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Say it.

[Tim Pool]

She went hid in the bathroom and then she heard a voice. Where is she? Where is she? And it was. And oh thank heavens it was a cop. But she was. I thought it was the J6ers who found me. That story she told took place an hour before the Capitol had been breached. So she made the whole thing up. I mean the story happened but it was pertaining to an evacuation, not any real fear. Someone had come for her. She was lying. So no one deserves this more than her to lose. But at the same time, holy crap, the democrats chose a 74 year old infirm man instead of the young 35 year old. This system is broken. The fact that the best the Democrats have to offer in the minority, you know, for the ranking position is aoc and they still went for the guy with cancer who is 74 and only. I just, holy crap, I'm so grateful that Donald Trump won. Can we clean this thing up?

[Phil Labonte]

Isn't he the guy that's. Isn't or isn't he going to be like a run of the mill kind of Democrat though? And that's part of the reason why like AOC probably scares a lot of the donors. And I mean Shank was just in here the other day talking about how important the donors are. I mean, yeah, I don't have a problem with the Democrats being in disarray, but if you're going to put yourself in the Democrats, you know, if you can put yourself in their shoes, they're going to go with someone that doesn't scare the donors. And someone like AOC or someone like Bernie Sanders Their policies are not the kind of. Or their desired policies are not the kind of policies that people want to give them millions of dollars to. To try to implement. So if you're not going to get the money from the donors to actually try to make policy or to. To, you know, get elected, so that way you can try and make policy. I don't think that. That it's a surprise that he gets.

[Tim Pool]

This, you know, I think most people are just thinking the same thing. It is only three more days till the Christmas holiday begins. Make it go away. I am going to eat pheasant. Oh, yeah. Not. But you should, because that's like, that's Christmas bird, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. That's what they do. Yeah. So that's all that matters. Everybody else is sitting at home being like, only a few more days till we just don't need to think about it. It is funny, though, because there are a lot of people hitting me up, being like, what are we supposed to do for two weeks without irl? And I'm like, I don't talk to your family. I guess.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, that's what you'd hope.

[Tim Pool]

I don't like taking time off, but nobody works after Thanksgiving. That's a fact. It is after Thanksgiving. Everybody phones it in.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

It's like, I tell you what, that's what the music industry is after Thanksgiving. The whole music industry basically shuts down. Nothing's going on, and trying to get people to do any work is a nightmare.

[Tim Pool]

So that's exactly where we're at right now. You know what really offends me more than the AOC Connelly thing? I just.

[Phil Labonte]

I.

[Tim Pool]

Early November, they were putting up Christmas decorations.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And I'm like, it's getting worse every single year. It's like, dude, I love Christmas, but.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Thanksgiving, man, Wait until Thanksgiving is over.

[Tim Pool]

I think we got to write some Thanksgiving jingles.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. There's a funny meme where it was like, if you're mad that Christmas is encroaching on Thanksgiving, well, maybe you should write some Thanksgiving bangers.

[Phil Labonte]

Thanksgiving jingles. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Like, we got no Thanksgiving music, you know?

[Sam Goodwin]

Look, sounds like Christmas is encroaching on Halloween.

[Tim Pool]

It is.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Literally.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. Like, right after Halloween, I saw Christmas stuff going up, and I said, how dare you?

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yes.

[Tim Pool]

And they're like, well, you know, I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving, big food.

[Phil Labonte]

It does need to get the love.

[Sam Goodwin]

Thanksgiving's the best holiday. It's all the great things about Christmas, but no responsibility to my gifts.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, just. You got to order your turkey in advance and then.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, I'm partial. I'm. It's not. It's out of season now, but I'm partial to July 4th because you get all the, you know, get all the outdoor eating and outdoor activities.

[Sam Goodwin]

You guys play a show.

[Phil Labonte]

No, I don't. I don't want to. I want. I want to be able to. Yeah. Maga month. That's. It's.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

It's get about it.

[Phil Labonte]

The birth of the country. I like to spend a lot of time on the. On the lake, and my buddy's got a boat.

[Tim Pool]

Do we have Fourth of July music?

[Phil Labonte]

We could sar.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Spangled band.

[Tim Pool]

Do we only have Christmas music? Christmas. What other holidays have music? Is there a Labor Day song?

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Valentine's Day?

[Tim Pool]

Oh, there is a Labor Day song. It's the Soviet New Year's. Yeah.

[Sam Goodwin]

Old Lang Sign.

[Tim Pool]

Old Lang Sign. You know, and nobody knows what that means anyway, and I don't.

[Phil Labonte]

And that's only one song too.

[Tim Pool]

Right?

[Phil Labonte]

That's the only.

[Tim Pool]

What is it even about?

[Phil Labonte]

I don't know.

[Tim Pool]

All the. What does that mean?

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Nothing. You got nothing.

[Tim Pool]

All I know is we light fireworks off and we celebrate.

[Phil Labonte]

Well, that's on the.

[Tim Pool]

That's the fourth, but only we have Halloween music.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Oh, you have a lot of speed music.

[Tim Pool]

A lot of. We have monster mash. You know what I mean? That's right. What other. What other. What other songs you got. You got all the Night Before Christmas stuff. Those are classics now.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. I was putting the tree up, listening to the. The holiday music mix, and it was. It was actually very enjoyable.

[Tim Pool]

Right.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

So nice. You're putting the tree up. You're here. Listen good holiday music. It's. It's. It's good for the soul.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, it was. Girlfriend was making hot chocolate.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Definitely making sandwiches. I mean.

[Phil Labonte]

Just kidding.

[Tim Pool]

We need some Fourth of July music.

[Phil Labonte]

We do maga music.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

I think it's a great idea. Bring something out for next year, guys.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, I guess you could think, like, American band by.

[Tim Pool]

I don't know, like, I'm gonna look it up. You gotta. You gotta write the song. And here's the. Here's the plan. We're gonna write Fourth of July jingles, and you have to put in them things like, we all grab our sidearms and. And our rifles.

[Phil Labonte]

Because the point is, Grand Funk Railroad, we're in America.

[Tim Pool]

When. When. When you sing, like, a Christmas song and it's like dashing through the snow on a one horse open sleigh or like under the Mistletoe, they become. It ingrains that tradition in the minds of the people who celebrate. So now mistletoe is a common thing. You put it up, the mistletoe. Oh, you're in the middle, you gotta give a kiss. It's like, okay, we need 4th of July music where it's like we have a verse that says, you know, put on your holster and strap your sidearm. This is America. That way people never forget that the right to keep in bear arms enshrined in the Constitution is an American tradition. You know, and then it's gonna be the 4th of July and they're gonna be like, oh, I. You're open, caring. You have to kiss. You have to do it. So if, if, if a man and a woman in a relationship are both open, caring, that's fourth of July. You gotta kiss now. That's what you got to do. You gotta, you gotta. And if you're a guy, you just give a hug, you get regular old fist bumps. Fist bumps. There you go.

[Phil Labonte]

Hugs.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah, in the back.

[Tim Pool]

No Diddy.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

I heard about that the other day.

[Phil Labonte]

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what else you don't. You'd want to have in them in a fourth or fourth of July song. I mean, it's got to be like banner kind of is. But, you know, I mean, I, I just think of like, you know, good old like 70s pro America rock songs as that.

[Tim Pool]

You got it. But you've got to write a rock and roll song. Rock and roll is probably the genre to go for explicitly about starting the journey of, for the fourth of July. So there will be a verse in there about fire up the grill, get the burgers going, there's barbecue, beers, barbecue with your friends and family, celebrating freedom, liberty.

[Phil Labonte]

The sun's up early and so are you.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, okay. And then it's got to be like already, you know, you know, driving down the street in my car, Camarillo or.

[Phil Labonte]

Camaro, with my guns, going to the totally gun oriented, going to pick up and dogs.

[Tim Pool]

We have to make traditions for the fourth of July. Like I'm going to, I'm going to tell my kid, I'm going to be like, oh, you know, this is what we do on the fourth of July. Like, you know, we have, we take several different magazines from a bunch of different guns and we put them on the door.

[Phil Labonte]

Well, I mean, in New Hampshire we, we used to have, me and a bunch of my buddies, we'd get together and we'd have A machine gun shoot. Because Rob's got a bunch of machine guns.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Oh, there you go.

[Phil Labonte]

And you know, we'd have the. We'd bring them all out and shoot them, like line them up on the table and you'd have, you know, 15 or 20 machine guns. And there's a handful of guys that we knew that had their own machine guns. They'd bring them up and you'd have a bunch of magazines ready and no drinking until the machine guns go away.

[Tim Pool]

But did you guys know that it was actually an American tradition to gift a loved one a box of ammunition on the fourth of July?

[Phil Labonte]

That's a great idea.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

I heard that was a lot.

[Tim Pool]

Because on the 4th of July, with fears of the British regulars coming to the colonies to quell the rebellion, loved ones were trading 50 caliber MO cans.

[Phil Labonte]

Ball.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, ball. It's just called ball. And black powder to their loved ones. And it became a tradition where on this beautiful day, we all go to our friends and we provide them with a box of ammunition that we feel is appropriate.

[Phil Labonte]

This is all true. You can check it.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Wikipedia says it's verifiable.

[Tim Pool]

And you have to hang a steel toed boot on the side of your stairs so that old Sergeant Independence and come and drop a few, case a few cartridges for you.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

You can use it to kick the, you know, the British tyranny out of your country, out of your.

[Tim Pool]

It's too derivative of Christmas, though. It's like the only thing we can think of is just turning Christmas things into. Not Christmas things.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

We had six months. Well, you guys got like, you guys got like three months for your song. But everyone else will figure it out.

[Tim Pool]

I think you need to take plenty of time. It's. It's tradition to take three standard capacity magazines, which is 30 rounds. 30 rounds and hang them from your door. And it's a sign to keep away those tyrannical regulars. Now we don't really fear the British regulars anymore, but did you know that they would hang 50 caliber ball from their doors to let the Regulars know that they were armed? Yeah, indeed. And so now it's a tradition where we, we don't put the real ammo or the guns. We just.

[Phil Labonte]

You put the magazine.

[Tim Pool]

Put a magazine over the window.

[Phil Labonte]

Painting the blood above the.

[Tim Pool]

It's like a wreath. Not. Not so dramatic.

[Phil Labonte]

Well, I was thinking like Passover. They. They painted the. The lamb. The. The blood of the sacrifice lamb or whatever. I don't know.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Someone in chat told us there's a song called Independence day by Martina McBride yeah, so there's.

[Phil Labonte]

Okay, that one.

[Tim Pool]

What genre is it?

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Martina McBride. What does she do? Like country song. Okay, okay. Okay.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, country works.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Makes sense.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, it's very. It's actually a legit good song.

[Tim Pool]

I think it's got to be rock and roll, though, because what's iconic about Christmas music is it's very rock and rolly.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And we don't really write new Christmas songs either. There was like, this period in America where they were like, let's just release 15 Christmas songs. And they did. And we just play them on repeat.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Every year round with that ever since.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

And just Mariah Carey non stop.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, well, she's the new. That. That's the new version.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

But most of the Christmas songs are what, from like the 50s?

[Unknown]

Yeah, at least.

[Tim Pool]

I think we need a St. Patrick's Day song. Actually. No, I think there's a bunch already.

[Phil Labonte]

I don't think that I'm allowed to write that.

[Unknown]

The whole band dropping Murphy's.

[Tim Pool]

Exactly. I was gonna say, like, basically any one of them.

[Phil Labonte]

Their whole catalog.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Literally every song. Road of the Righteous is a great song. I listened to that the other day, by the way. Anybody a fan? Road of the Righteous.

[Tim Pool]

Let's jump to this story from the Daily Mail. So, actually, you know, I'd like to lead with. Hey, here's the news. Luigi Mangione has been indicted on murder charges for the shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. And I believe it's under a terror statute. So the left, of course, is celebrating this guy. But the news that I find more interesting is that two documentaries are already in the works. Because we are a sick nation. We need a cultural cleansing of sorts. And this is proof that just our culture is in trouble. I'll put it that way.

[Phil Labonte]

This is why you can't say that the right has actually won the war or whatever. There are significant advances of ideas from the right, but there's a massive amount of people that think that. And it's actually not just people on the left, but there's a massive amount of people that think that it was justified because the health insurance industry is messed up or doesn't produce the results that they think it should, then it's justified. They. They're charging Luigi with terrorism, if I understand correctly, which is I can agree exactly what he should be charged with. People are. Are either. They're confused.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah, a significant murder. With terrorism charges.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, with terrorism charges. But the point of him killing the CEO was to get political change. Right. That was the whole point of it. Anytime you use violence to achieve political ends, that is terrorism. That's the dictionary definition of terrorism. So charging him as a terrorist is the exact right thing to do. And if you know that. So whatever the, the punishment for that is, that's what he should. That's what he should have to do.

[Tim Pool]

So right now I, I think we're on the verge of culturally just. We're gonna turn inside out and then cease to exist. Something happens in the news, like the train gets derailed in, in Ohio, and then three days later, a book is on Amazon about it. And it's like, dude, come on, is that true? Like, I'm Example. Okay, figuratively. I think, actually, I think that may have happened like within a week or so of that happening. Someone put out a book, documentary comes out right away, and it's like the true story of what happened. And I'm just like, they're working on two high profile documentaries about this guy already. It's been like two weeks. I just. I think we are a bored, listless, faithless people and we should be striving. This is why I like Elon. He's like, we're going to Mars. And I'm like, that's a good thing, because the technology that comes from space travel is massive. It's not just. It's not just. So with like the original space program, the Apollo program, we developed a whole bunch of. Of new chemicals and various products through the research and development. That's great that Elon's doing that. We need a country that is focused on achieving a great goal. Instead, it's. Everybody's just super bored and angry and they're trying to find purpose where there's none totally.

[Unknown]

And they're kind of. It's kind of like the. All the apps are just fueling that. Just the narcissism is being fueled by these apps. Just constant dopamine drip. You have no drive to go do anything. There's no pressure. There's no. There is literally no pressure. There's nothing driving you or pushing you in any direction. So, like, people just hang out. They just sit and don't do anything and just watch TV and just scroll their phone.

[Tim Pool]

It's.

[Unknown]

It's crazy. But, like, that's like where the Aldous Huxley thing comes into, into, into reality is like people are literally just being fed their vices and just falling for it.

[Phil Labonte]

Sam, you've been to like 193 countries. Is it your sense that this is something that's unique to the west, or is it something that you. You would imagine is. Or that you.

[Tim Pool]

You.

[Phil Labonte]

You think is. Is global or what?

[Sam Goodwin]

I mean, I haven't heard about what Tim was talking about, how there was a documentary a week later or a book a week later. So I. I haven't heard about anything like that.

[Phil Labonte]

No. Well, I mean, because I. It's my sense that there is. There was a leftist push that was international. Like, you see a lot in. There is a lot in Europe. And now that's why you see the. Right. The swing back of the pendulum. A lot of that is going on in Europe. I guess the German chancellor, they're. They're beginning the. The. The process necessary to have an election next year to get rid of the German chancellor. You've got. Trudeau is under fire.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Oh, yeah. The Italian lady is pretty based, right?

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. She. She was elected. There's problems in France. So this is something that's going on, you know, at least all over the West. Tim.

[Tim Pool]

There was. I did a quick Google search within one month of the. Of the disaster, there was a book for sale on Amazon and the train in Ohio. Yeah. And I think there's probably a bunch more.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

They'd have to. You'd have to do so much work to get that out, I think.

[Tim Pool]

I think that was, like. We had talked about it. Oh, here's another one. Okay, so there's two. And then it just starts giving me a bunch of Israel stuff.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Of course, the juice.

[Tim Pool]

Because the city was East Palestine, so.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Unknown]

I mean, it does feel like the lot of, like, the anger that used to exist is kind of, like, dissipated. People aren't just, like, furious about Donald Trump anymore, but, like, they're definitely not just not do anything. People are definitely. But the thing is, a lot of people that I've seen at least, that are like, apolitical people are now that used to be apolitical before 2020 or 2016 became political and now are like, it's boring. We've done this for, like, eight years. Not fun anymore. Like, riots are like, yeah, kind of fun, but, like, I don't want to do that anymore. So it's like, I've just been seeing a lot of people kind of just, you know, kind of give up and want to do something new or, like, there's the politics getting annoying. It's frustrating for them.

[Phil Labonte]

So they were. They were casuals. They weren't actually.

[Unknown]

Yeah, they were casuals, definitely.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Sam, you speak a lot about uncertainty. Is there any kind of uncertainty, the future of. Of what you see going on in America? Or what can be certain?

[Sam Goodwin]

I don't know if anything can be certain right now. I'm not exactly sure how we. How we as a country deal with all of that at the moment, but, Sir. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not quite sure.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

If someone was uncertain, how would they deal with their lives?

[Sam Goodwin]

So the main things that I talk about are three key things. One is to lean into gratitude and have a perspective. Two is to control the things we can control. And the third is to recognize these uncertain times as an opportunity to. To grow. Those are the key things that. That I talk about. Not sure if it's relevant here, but those are the main things that I talk about.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

It's definitely relevant.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, I think that that's kind of relevant all the time because it, like, at least to some degree, you're taught, like, the stuff that you're talking about. There is stuff that the stoics were talking about, like, don't worry about things you can't control. And I think if people had a little more focus on their own lives and less focus on trying to save the world. And this is something that Jordan Peterson talks about all the time when he's, like, doing the whole clean your room thing, like, focus on the things that you can do something about. And if you have small successes in your life that will alleviate the anxiety that you're feeling that. That is leading you to think, we've got to change the whole world. We've got to do. You know, there's so many big things. If you've done. If, you know, if you're. You're 22, 23 years old and you've done nothing in your life, it's probably not a good idea to take on global hunger. You know, there's. That's a big one.

[Unknown]

Bigger Fisher fry.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. I mean, you've got things that are more immediate in your life that you probably, you know, need to take care of. I'm sure there's some mold somewhere under your bed or something that you might want to, you know. And. And so I. I do think that the.

[Unknown]

If Asmongold can clean his house.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

You.

[Phil Labonte]

Know, I mean, he deserves kudos for that.

[Unknown]

If he can do it, anyone can do it.

[Phil Labonte]

That's right.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

So seriously, you know, I've seen this before. Photos they share. Yeah, it's holy moly.

[Unknown]

Crazy.

[Phil Labonte]

It's. I can't imagine how you can be that rich and have a house like that. Like, what are you doing?

[Tim Pool]

I mean, that's.

[Unknown]

That's kind of speaks to what I'M saying, like there's just. There's just like this blase. Like there's just this. It's. It's ennui. Like what Tim's saying. Like there's just like no one, no nothing drives anybody.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Nothing.

[Unknown]

There's nothing to care about. Like you always say, like if people are comfortable, there's no revolution. No one's gonna do anything about it. You know, that's the same for us too. People won't do anything if everything's too comfortable.

[Tim Pool]

It's the fourth turning in some respect.

[Unknown]

True.

[Tim Pool]

Like we, we fight. There's a reason why Fight Club resonate with so many people. And given the opportunity, I will always shout out Dicky Barrett. Cuz we were. I was talking to him about the impression that I get that song. You know, it's a. Never had to, but I better Knock on wood. What a great song.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

He was saying it was about how when he was young, there was no great battle.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

That the generation before him had Vietnam, that there was Desert Storm. But he, in the late. In the mid to late 90s, was just like, here I am enjoying all the wealth and prosperity and I've never been challenged. Knock on wood. I hope I'm not. And that's what he's talking about. Like, you know, I don't know if I'm a coward. I'm afraid of what I might find out. There has been no great challenge.

[Phil Labonte]

We.

[Tim Pool]

We had the victory in our hands. And what happens then is you become listless. A generation of people with no purpose. No great quest, no great challenge. It is unfortunate, but the reality is you need hardship. People need a challenge to. To push against. It's actually quite simple. Humans have developed and invented their way out of needing to lift heavy things. So we have to pretend we have to force ourselves to lift heavy things to maintain what our bodies need to survive. Guys who don't lift their testosterone goes down, which results in vision problems and joint problems, depression. Because it used to be back in the day you were carrying the carcass of the elk back to your camp.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

So bear cutting down trees.

[Phil Labonte]

So on January 31st of next year, we're releasing a new record. And the record is called Antifragile, which speaks to exactly what Tim is talking about. The whole point of the title Antifragile is human beings need resistance to grow.

[Unknown]

Right?

[Phil Labonte]

Right. The. The astronauts that go to space, they spend a significant amount of time in. In contraptions that allow them to do cardio and, and work their bodies because there's no gravity in space and you will lose bone density and you will, your muscles will deteriorate extremely fast. If you're not doing that stuff when people want to, to get better at something, it's hard. Like when you're, you're learning, starting off right.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

Learning a new instrument, like learning how to play an instrument or learning how to do anything, it's difficult. And that, that stimulation, that stimuli, that, that, that effort that you put in makes you better. And it takes resistance to make yourself better. And if you, that's. That is part and parcel with being a human being. You have to have. Yeah, it's part of everything.

[Unknown]

Like if you remember like the, those crazy like labs today where they try to keep like humans inside pods had trees growing. And there's a famous story people probably know about. The trees were always falling over. And the reason was there's no wind. Trees literally win in order to keep themselves up. You need resistance to grow. I don't know why we lost this. At some point, I forget what it was.

[Phil Labonte]

There was, there was a. Someone had done some kind of farming of trees, but they didn't have the wind and the wood was no good to use. Like they couldn't, you couldn't do anything with, with the wood because it wasn't strong.

[Tim Pool]

You ever see those trees that grow in this ridiculously windy cliff top and all of the branches are just. Yeah, it's horizontal in one direction. It's like a stump and like a.

[Phil Labonte]

Letter F. And the wood is, is, it's, it's extremely solid. It's really rigid. And you like that's just the way of reality because, you know, we talk about it or we were just talking about it with. When it comes to human beings. But that is a feature of the real world that we live in. Resistance makes you stronger. And again, it doesn't just, it's not just people. It applies to trees. It applies to, it applies to all life forms.

[Sam Goodwin]

Sometimes I think about what I call the, the sine curve. You guys remember trigonometry? That sine curve, it's never ending up and down. Radio wave. And sometimes I think about the, what I characterize as the sine curve of life. And essentially at the top it's important to have humility and awareness and gratitude and things. But nothing deeply good emerges from the top. It's always at the bottom of the curve where all the growth happens. And at the top what's certain is you're coming down the bottom, you're coming back up. It's important to have that perspective because at the bottom, that's where it's important and that's where all the growth happens.

[Phil Labonte]

All of the bad things that have happened in my life, whether it be my personal life or my career or whatever, they've always been the thing that inspired me to do something better and achieve more.

[Sam Goodwin]

I think if we're all honest with ourselves, I think we would say that our personality today, the very essence of our life, is a result of those challenges that we faced and the choices we made as a result of those challenges, not because of the good times that we've had.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Bro.

[Unknown]

It's like we were talking about before the show how I said like when you get like luck or whatever, it's opportunity meeting, preparation. If you don't prepare for something and you get something given to you, you can't be ready for it. You're not going to take advantage of the right way, you're not going to anything from it. So you should always be getting prepared.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

And that's why I always preach to the young folks of the world, like if they're lost, definitely. If you need some resistance, you need an obstacle, you need a challenge. I suggest the military because you're gonna get that in the military. Maybe some other places, but if you join the military, you have. You're stuck. You're stuck for at least three, four years that you have no choice in the matter but to make yourself better and. Or true fail.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Or become a lot better. So a lot of people join the military. Way better.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

The best thing for young people.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Even if you, you can up until 28 plus civil service, anybody. Conscription for everyone.

[Sam Goodwin]

Actually, quick, quick thought on that. So in, in. In the NCAA now because of like Covid and the way a lot of things. So I played hockey in college, so talking a little bit about specifically hockey, but other sports too. It's now very easy for players to. To transfer schools. They can just.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Oh yeah, super easy.

[Sam Goodwin]

Whereas before, like when I was playing, transferring was like essentially not an option because you had to sit out a year. But now these players can transfer as quickly basically as much as they want to. And what I think a lot of these coaches are learning is that it's previously a coach could be very hard on a player and they would have to fight through that adversity and get better. And that was oftentimes where they grew the most was from fighting through those challenges. But now today, anytime a player is facing any kind of adversity, they just pull the chute and Leave. And things have changed on that front. And so I think there's some missed opportunities there.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, it's important to. And I, I don't know that it's, that it's something that, that parents should be instilling or if it's something that, that is in people, in some people and not in other people. But it's important to, to have, have that kind of attitude that says if I fail, I'm going to try again. Right. Like, yeah, there are plenty of things in my life that, you know, didn't work out the way that I wanted them to. And every time that something negative has happened or something that didn't work out the way that I wanted to, it wasn't like, oh, well, you know, I guess I gotta stop doing this. If I stop, if I stopped trying to be in a band the first time that I didn't get something that I wanted, I'm the first band I ever tried out to be in. I wasn't good enough and I just hadn't been playing long enough. And they were like, nah, we're gonna go with another guy. And thankfully, six months later they hit me up and they were like, yo, that guy didn't work out. Are you still interested? And I was like, yeah, but like, if I had to quit playing guitar, I wouldn't have been, I wouldn't be, you know, I wouldn't have had a 20 year career in the music industry.

[Sam Goodwin]

You can probably pinpoint those spots too. Those like, disappointments.

[Phil Labonte]

Yep.

[Sam Goodwin]

And then how many good things would come from them?

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, absolutely. Plenty of them. Plenty of them. So it's, it's important for people to, you know, that you, it's, it's, it's cliche to say, you know, when you get punched in the face, get knocked down, get up. But that Rocky, the, the.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Oh, that speech.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, the speech that he given in to his kid, he's like, look, you know, the important thing is how many times you can get knocked down and keep getting up. That's how winning is done. That is exactly right. That is how you win. It's not because you are invincible and you, and you don't get knocked down and it doesn't hurt. And it's, it's not that it has nothing to do with it, what it means that you get up and keep trying.

[Tim Pool]

What's the name of that? I don't know what you describe it. It's a ideology of some sort or facet of philosophy. Humans would be happier as farmers. There's a, there's a, there's a, there's a term for this where technology has basically ripped us from what makes us function properly. That is working on a farm, you're lifting heavy things. So you're getting regular exercise. You are, you're up in the. Early in the morning when the sun comes up. You're. You're in bed at night. I don't know.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah. It says individual importance of agriculture and.

[Tim Pool]

Farming way of life. Agrarian way of life is just being a farmer.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

What I.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

What.

[Tim Pool]

There's an idea that specifically how technology storialism. Something I don't. I have no idea.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

We'll keep looking.

[Tim Pool]

Basically, technology has created artificial scheduling. And so you. Going back to the point where, you know, upstairs we have a whole bunch of weights pull up, we have a power cage and all that stuff. We have to find time in the day to simulate lifting heavy things like, well, literally lift heavy things to simulate farm work. Basically because we have removed ourselves from what humans were built for. And so now humans are largely unhappy.

[Phil Labonte]

Gro says the idea of pastoralism in literature and philosophy. Historically, pastoralism, or the idealized view of rural life has been romanticized in literature and philosophy, suggesting that living closer to nature like farmers do, could lead to a more fulfilled, happy life. This isn't a term per se, but a recurring theme. So, you know, maybe that's the idea, but I think that, that you make a good point. Like, like getting up in the morning when the sun comes up. Having a goal. Chicken.

[Tim Pool]

Having a goal.

[Phil Labonte]

Having a goal. Eating the chickens. Making sure the chickens are taken care of, among other things. But having a. Have, you know, if you have a farm, there are things you have to do every single day.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

I have heard from so many people like we got to do better promotion for Chicken City because everybody loves it.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

The. So the other day I tweeted it out. I tweeted it a couple times. And for those that don't know what it is. Chicken City. Chicken City live dot com. If you want to watch chickens live their lives, dope. It's the Truman. Yeah, it's the Truman show for chickens. But you know, like a couple weeks ago it was raining and so I'm sitting in this box we are in. It's a. It's a 40 foot tall warehouse. And then inside the warehouse is another building. There's no windows, there's no ventilation. It's just dark all day. I mean it's not. We have like studio lights. Was actually rather bright.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Sure.

[Tim Pool]

And then I was like, I'm gonna tweet out Chicken City for fun, because I, you know, I don't really do it. I did. And then I opened the YouTube video, and I heard the sound of rain and chickens eating and balking, and I just left it on. And I was like, dude, this is asmr. This is, like, for humans that have lost their way and are living in the city. You can hear the sounds of nature and chickens. And then I heard from a bunch of people where they were like. I had someone tell me recently, they said, yeah, when you tweeted out, I turned it on, and I just forgot about it. And it was on for, like, two hours. It's kind of nice. And I'm like, humans want to live on a homestead with some animals. They want to wake up and do work. They want to think about this. I mean, all of it. Granted, like, healthcare is worse. You stub your toe, you can get sepsis. Right? It's miserable.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And so great technologies come with the way we live today. But if you go back to how people used to live on the farm, you spent your whole day with your family. Your kids were right there with you. They were helping you. You were doing the work you had to do. In fact, you had a lot of kids because you needed kids to survive. You need family. And then you'd go into town only periodically, and only like, once a week or once a month would you get the post and actually learn about what was going on. And the only news that mattered to you was whether or not it felt like there was going to be a drought this year. And then you'd wake up, there's your family, you have breakfast, you go tend to the animals. You come back, you hang out.

[Phil Labonte]

Those are the things that really matter. We hear people talk about all the times, what are the most important things to you? Like, the most important things? Your family. Most important things? Your mom, your kids, your wife, your. Your. The people that are closest to you. I mean, we hear these things in. In. In all kinds of stories, and you see it in. In Hallmark cards and everything, you know, but yet, at the same time, as a society, we have lost that. We have lost the focus on that which we tell people that things that are far removed from them are the most important. The things that are going on in Washington, D.C. are the most important. You got a whole generation of young women that believe that have no intention of getting pregnant or having. Having an abortion or not having an abortion. Like, they. That's not something that they're all that worried about. But that's the most important thing to them is abortion access. Like they're not having sex or maybe or they're in a, in a committed relationship. That's another one that blows my mind. Women over 50 that think abortion is the most important thing, it's like, ma'am, ladies, ma'am, you, you. It is not important to you if abortion, abortion rights are not important to you. I understand that you got a feeling about them, but like the things that are going on in Washington D.C. are not the things that are the most important things happening to your life. The most important things that are happening in your life are the things that happen every day, the people that you see every day and the people you're around every day and, and how you live your life. And so the idea that you know something that, that some politician says, you know, a thousand miles away, how that, how you believe or believing that that's the most important thing going on in your life is ridiculous. And if the only reason that you can convince yourself that it is is because you're missing actually important things, your actual interpersonal relationships with your family, with your friends, those things are suffering and so you've replaced them with things far away.

[Tim Pool]

Donna S Says it's Luddism.

[Phil Labonte]

Luddites.

[Tim Pool]

Well, that's, it's not. The Luddites were an anti industrialist movement. They were upset that they were going to lose their jobs to machines. So that's not what I'm referring to. It is entirely possible that you could live a modern Internet based technology, magical life with a TV and video games and all that stuff, but have a homestead. And I think it's become quite popular actually in the past. Oh, it's growing years or so.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Definitely growing.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. Like people who have regular jobs still want to have the animals and bring back a little bit and hybridize. So you're not, it's not, not pure homesteading where you're quite literally just going to be self reliant and go back to the old ways. But a lot of people have been like, they'll get, they'll get a couple miniature goats or a mini cow and they'll get some chickens, they'll get a couple acres where it's legal and then they'll still have a job, but they'll come home and they'll have animals and they'll get a large amount of their food from their garden. Yeah, I mean we, we were into that for a while. We had a, a garden at the castle for a while. Yo. It is, it is. I feel Bad for people who don't eat the. Their. Their. The food they've grown for breakfast. It is. It is an amazing thing to wake up in the morning. I would. I would wake up, I'd walk to the front of the house, go into the garden, and I would grab a zucchini, and I would grab a handful of cherry tomatoes. Then I would grab two eggs right from the, Right from under the chicken, and that's. I'd make it. I'd make scrambled eggs with zucchini and tomatoes just like that. It was the only. The only thing. The only thing I had to add to it was olive oil. Oh, yeah, that was me. I put it. I didn't want the eggs to stick, sure. But it was like, I'm sitting there eating this and I'm like, it doesn't really taste better, but it does taste better, you know? And then I was like, man, it's something amazing about just growing your own food On.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

On. On that aspect. I did. Before I started working here, I did a lot of electrical work on the side for houses. And from 2019 to I started working here, I didn't notice any in 19 or 20 or in 21, but like 22 and 23 came around people. I started people's houses that were in the rural or the urban suburban communities, and they had freaking chickens, like, in the backyard. They had a tiny little shed. They'd have tiny little sheds, and they have like six or four chickens. So those cats coming back.

[Phil Labonte]

I've had chickens off and on from, like, my whole life. My parents, I lived in. In. You know, I grew up in Chicopee, Massachusetts, which is, like, very suburban. It's not in the woods, but we had. My dad had a few acres and my mom built a chicken coop. And we did the, like, we had them. We did. We had chickens that we slaughtered, you know, and I did the whole, you know.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Oh, you did the deed?

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, I did the deed myself. And. And, you know, it's not. I mean, it's not like something that I'm, like, dying to continue doing. I like the fact that I can, you know, have, like, I have good ranchers delivered to my house. I like, I like the fact that I can have that done, but at the same time, there's not like having chickens for just to get eggs. They're super low maintenance, really. Like, you have to clean out the coop every, you know, every once in a while or whatever. But, like, not ours. You just leave them. They, you know, have a.

[Tim Pool]

Well, the. The. What we had built for the first Chicken city was we had a sewer system for the chickens.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, nice.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah, they always poop in it too. Maybe you always talking on TV about.

[Tim Pool]

Pooping in it in the sewer system.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

No. Jesus. Never mind.

[Tim Pool]

What?

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Never mind.

[Tim Pool]

It didn't work so well. So you don't really have to clean them out too much depending on what it is. But if it's like a small with a lot of chickens and it's inside, you do. But we have an outside system, so you've got to do some cleaning. But for the most part, the chickens just pooping the grass. Or you can go with the Thomas Massey model, the Clux capacitor. It is a solar powered chicken coop that slowly moves across the grass. And so the chickens are always staying on fresh grass. And Thomas was saying, Representative Massey, that the grass behind it is always really tall and lush because the chickens dump all over the place and then keep moving. They eat the grass and then it grows back thicker and fuller than the surrounding grass. It's amazing.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah, he's a smart man. Thomas Massey knows what he's talking about.

[Tim Pool]

Indeed. You know, too bad he was going to be agriculture Secretary.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, it would be cool to see him as, as a.

[Tim Pool]

So, but, but, so, so how about we do this? How about we terrify the leftists by instituting mandatory basic training for everybody at the age of 17.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Love it.

[Unknown]

Hey, that's what they do in Singapore and you know that it's great there. Everyone has a job. They become out there a police officer, a firefighter, they do public service work, become police off police. For instance, they say, oh, police officers become wicked because they're always in the police force. Well, in Singapore they solve that because they leave the police force force after they've become like 23, 24, 25. So I don't see why that's about the bad thing. And I don't see why all the lefties would be mad about that. They love, you know, social services. They love big civil, big civil projects and stuff. Right. So why would they be mad about that? I don't get it.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

They'd only be better when they got out. You know, they'd only better human beings after the three months they were.

[Tim Pool]

I remember when Rahm Emanuel got elected, he was saying that he was in favor of three month basic training for all Americans at 18 or something. And I was like, yeah, right. Back then I was like, you're not gonna do. Make me do anything. I refuse. You know, now I'm older and I'm like, yeah, Maybe I didn't need it back then, but now I can see exactly why ever, like most people do. And I actually now I'd be totally for it. Like, it's funny because when I was younger I was like, I do whatever I want. I just get on the train and go skateboard. Now I'm older and I'm like, I should hire a personal trainer. Like we, you know, skateboarding isn't enough. Yeah, you know, I, I, I get two hours of exercise, my heart rate is maxed out the whole time, which is probably not good, but it's great cardio. But I've been, I've been trying to throw in more pull ups as often as I can and push ups and lifting as often as I was. I had a trainer earlier the year and I was lifting, but dude, it is, it's, the workload is brutal. Yeah. You know, it's like, like yesterday we were leaving for, for the, on Friday to Arizona and then we got Christmas. So I don't know when I'm gonna get a chance to work out. Hopefully at the hotel or something, maybe get on the treadmill. But I'm getting done at like 4 or 5 o'clock and then I have to go eat and come right back to do work again. I'm like, dang, I have. And you know, for a lot of people there was this viral post where a guy's like, he was, he's like a picture of me when I started my job and then a picture two years later and he's just morbidly obese. And he was like, because the job was all sitting down, he never got to move. And I'm like, that's an excuse. Dude. Your, your salary position was not stopping you from getting to a gym for an hour every day before or after work. You can make it work. You can go home, you can do that, exercise. I exercise here. One of the reasons we built the skate park is I like it, but it's a great way of, you know, staying fitness, staying in shape.

[Unknown]

It is.

[Tim Pool]

But working 16 hour days is a bit different. I still find, find time to exercise and I still throw down push ups if I, if I can't get anything done. Because you always have time for push ups.

[Phil Labonte]

So yeah, pull ups too. You got to get a pull up bar.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, we're gonna put a pull up, pull up bar in the studio door. And because this is what I used to do when I had roommates. It's called paying taxes.

[Unknown]

Oh yeah.

[Tim Pool]

So you put a pull up bar and Anybody who wants to come in has to do one solid pull up, all the way up, all the way down, and you can come in when you want to leave. Same deal. You know, with, with, with limited exception, I think the ladies are largely exempt from it. They can knee ups.

[Phil Labonte]

Well, I mean, women are weak and small.

[Tim Pool]

Well, you know, I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but I think, like what, like women can't really do pull ups. Can't. Right.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, some can if they train a lot.

[Tim Pool]

Like. Yeah, your, your average.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Well, actually, and chin ups. I was good pull ups for the right, you know, for anyone.

[Tim Pool]

I was gonna say your average guy could probably do a pull up, but I don't know if that's true anymore.

[Phil Labonte]

Not, not average now.

[Tim Pool]

Exactly. I was like, there was a point where the average guy could easily do a couple pull ups. Now the average guy certainly cannot.

[Phil Labonte]

I don't think the, I think the average, the average American, I think is overweight. Like the average person is overweight. And so I don't imagine that the average guy can do pull ups. I think, you know, maybe 40% of the population, the male population can actually do a pull up.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

I think 40% of the population are obese. So that's, you know, and that's just obese, not overweight. So yeah, 100%. Right.

[Tim Pool]

Eric Reeves in the regular chat says, I hate to tell you, to him, reading the news isn't work. Go work a construction job for 12 hours and then go home, work out. If you work a construction job, you are getting exercise and a lot of these construction. I mean, unless you're in like the manager's office. I worked for two years at American Airlines Regional where we would lift 50,000 pounds per day. Is that crazy? That's nuts because you're lifting all the bags and it was wild. It's like 35 to 50,000 pounds per day. You lift not all at once, obviously, but you've got. With, with a single plane you could have like, I don't know, 30 to 4060 pound bags. And then you're offloading and loading both. And sometimes there's two, two carts. And then if you're working in the bag room, you're just lifting. So we actually did the average based on how we load the planes. And when you get the flight manifest for the load, it's like, man, that's actually crazy how much we lift every single day. It's pretty nuts.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

So you're getting your exercise if you're doing physical labor, you know, and things like that.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Right.

[Tim Pool]

So I'm not super concerned about a dude who's actually using his body for a job.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah, sometimes that is diet. Yeah, like sometimes here. All depends on what the day is. I do not need to work out based on the activities for the task.

[Tim Pool]

Carrying all those pizzas in on Friday.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah, well, Friday, you know, Fridays I relax.

[Tim Pool]

Thirteen pizzas, you know.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Thirteen. That's a bad, scary number though.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. But I would also add too. I love this reading the news isn't to work. Go work a construction job, man. I gotta tell you, dude, this is the most work I've ever done in my life. I'm not saying it's the worst work. It pays the best. That's for sure. But man, guys, when I used to work at the airline, you do a lot of physical labor, but you also have like a 45 minute downtime from when the plane is sitting before you have to load it and everyone's playing Xbox. And then you leave, you get there at 5:30, you leave at 1:30, and that's your day. And if you need to make more money, you got to work more. And I was working double shifts for sure. But this job, I think people need to understand that I don't just read the news. We have like 10 different companies. We've got 40 plus employees and contractors. We've got like five different lawyers. We've got lawsuits. Yo, it's brutal.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

And what's their definition of work? Like your brain's getting used all the time.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Whereas they can sit around, you know, you don't think about the thing. You just pick things up and put them down. Two different, Two different. No, I'm saying there's two.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Two different worlds. The same work is work.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

It doesn't have to be manual labor.

[Phil Labonte]

It's just, I mean, he's, he's being a little, you know, I understand.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

I like.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, his, his line of work compared to what other people's line of work? And if he wants to be like the. I'm a, a, I have physical exertion, elitism, he can have his physical.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

He's an elitist.

[Phil Labonte]

That's it. Well, that's the same impulse. It's like, oh, you're not actually working. I'm working because I'm doing physical labor. Well, okay, you know, if that's how you, if that's how you measure work, then fine. I don't work either. But you know, I still like the fact I like my job and I like the things that I do and if, if it upsets you that I don't work and I can still pay my bills. Good.

[Unknown]

Yeah, man, whatever lets him sleep at night, man. Whatever. Help them go to sleep.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah, whatever pays the bills too.

[Unknown]

Yeah, true. 100.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, do you think that, do you think that being in a band and, and traveling all the time and playing rock concerts. Oh, it's so easy. Is, is real work. It's pro. He probably would say no. And I don't care.

[Sam Goodwin]

How about being a pro athlete?

[Phil Labonte]

That's. That's some damn. That's way. That's more physicality than being in a band, that's for sure. You know, those guys are to be, you know, top level pro athletes. You're up, you're out there like breaking a sweat every single day. You know, this is why I call.

[Tim Pool]

Skateboarding the, the lowest form of sports, because pro skateboarders are probably the worst athletes. Yeah, not kidding. Like, you look at the Olympics and it's like these are people who. Not all of them, but skateboard has. Skateboarding has very few people who are like, I've got to stretch and stay hydrated. You look at all the other Olympic sports and these people are figurative slaves, right? Some of these kids. So I knew a kid who was training for the Olympics. He had no choice in anything. They'd wake up at the crack of dawn, they'd force him to eat things that he didn't want to eat. He had to do what he was told. Then it's like 100 push ups now. Go. And it was just until he had a mental breakdown. You look at skateboarding, it's like some dude eating a cheeseburger and smoking cigarettes and then wearing khakis. And then they're as good as they could be. And then all of a sudden they find themselves in these big teams. That's going to change real soon. I keep telling all my friends in skating, like these pros guys, we are probably 10 years away from pro skateboarders wearing unitards. You think that North Korea or China care about your culture? They want to win gold medals and they're going to make their athletes do and wear whatever they have to to win. But the Olympics so far for skateboarding has largely been, well, where would you feel like wearing?

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

So your prediction is based off the Olympics?

[Tim Pool]

Well, I mean, what, what other Olympic sport allows people to literally wear anything they want and eat whatever they want and do whatever? Like, none. They're. They're all heavily regimented. Yeah, maybe snowboarding is a, is a bit more Lax, but still rather serious. Look, man, these big sponsors are gonna come in and they're gonna say, we don't wanna give you money if you're gonna show up stoned. Yeah. You know, now the guys in the Olympics, they're probably not smoking. They're probably taking a little bit more serious. But man, I know professional skateboarders, some of the most famous, and there has been a movement where they're like, we're gonna stop drinking and smoking and get healthy. Shout out to Neen Williams, who really setting a great example for this. He's a younger guy. He was smoking and drinking a whole lot and then he got clean. And now he's a fitness influencer and pro skateboarder and he's ripped and he's got a great burger company called NADC Burger that's like taking the Chicago and Austin by storm. So shout out. I'm really, I'm a big fan of like people getting clean and, and setting a good example.

[Sam Goodwin]

I had a friend of mine, he's an older guy now, but he played for the Toronto Maple Leafs in I think the early 60s. And he tells the story that over the summer before the season, the team sent out a notice and they said that in order to come into training camp, he had to be able to do like 20 push ups and run a mile.

[Phil Labonte]

That seems pretty, yeah, pretty, pretty low bar.

[Sam Goodwin]

And then we think about what's happened today with every, with all the training now. And so I think it just goes to Tim's point about how maybe skateboarding is like that today, but what's, what's coming in 10 years, how's this going to progress? I think it's, I think he's right. I think it could look a lot different. And, and so that was just something that came to mind when he was telling.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sam Goodwin]

Talking about that.

[Phil Labonte]

It's true. Like it, the way that sports evolves, you, you, you kind of can't predict what's going to happen because when there are game changers that come into the game, like there's been multiple people that have, have come to a sport and they had to change all the rules. Because, because this person just like when Shaq got into basketball, he just changed all. They had to change a ton of rules.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Breaking rims, you know.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, because, because he just was this gigantic guy and they had to change the rules because of it. And I, there's, I can't think of any others off the top of my head, but I know there are multiple people that, you know, they get into a sport and it's like, all right, well, we have to change the way that the sport is played because of this one person on this one team. And because they change the way the sport is played, that means they have to change the rules. So the. The what?

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Good, good. I'm gonna say Tom Brady, the tuck rule. That's your boy. Yeah. So he was so good that they had to change that. They had to give him the tuck rule.

[Phil Labonte]

So, yeah, that kind of stuff does happen. So you never can tell what's gonna. How things are gonna progress in the future.

[Tim Pool]

So we're gonna go to super Chat. So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that, like, button? Share the show with everyone you know. Become a member [e-mail] to support our work and you'll get access to that uncensored show coming up at 10pm this one should be fun. Should be very fun. But let's read your super chats. You can follow me on X and Instagram at. Tim Cast Polypure says, am I first? Indeed, madam, you are. Congratulations. The Bainza says second chickens were robbed last party. No treats.

[Phil Labonte]

Whoa.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

We fixed it. I wasn't there for that, but I apparently went down five hours prior to my notification that I got.

[Tim Pool]

Ah.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

So.

[Tim Pool]

But it's.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

So then we owe you one. I'll let Christopher know.

[Tim Pool]

Has the music been playing and everything.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

During the day, but not the last today when it shut down.

[Tim Pool]

All right. Brit Griffith, mower racing says please, please, please. Let me wrap my second racing mower for cast brew. I want that Phil artwork on the hood.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

That'd be tight, Phil.

[Phil Labonte]

That'd be great.

[Tim Pool]

How do we get it set up last time? I don't know.

[Unknown]

I think Jessica did it. I can talk to her about it.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, let's. We'll figure it out. And we'll put Santa Phil on the front.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Awesome.

[Phil Labonte]

Hilarious. Be great. I'd love it.

[Tim Pool]

All right. Heavy Heavy arms. Kai says we need a two weeks Christmas song.

[Phil Labonte]

Two weeks.

[Tim Pool]

He's got to add more verses and redo it. But it's about Christmas now.

[Phil Labonte]

Change it. Yeah, change it into a Christmas song. All right.

[Tim Pool]

What have we indeed here? Zig says please have on Sleazy P. Martini, manager of Virginia metal legends Guar with Labonte. Maybe on a culture war episode.

[Unknown]

That would be crazy.

[Phil Labonte]

I don't know. Sleazy I met. We've done a lot of shows with the guys in gwar. I know you know most a couple of the guys because they've had some Member changes and stuff and we toured with them a long time ago, but they are an absolute joy to be around. They're wonderful guys and tons of fun.

[Unknown]

So, dude, he's a wild. A wild person.

[Phil Labonte]

Sleazy P. Martini. Yeah, he does. He does a stream, doesn't he?

[Unknown]

Yeah, he does.

[Phil Labonte]

It's in the whole, like the whole.

[Unknown]

Get up and everything.

[Tim Pool]

Raybert G. Stanbert Jr. Says based gingerbread coffee for the win. Hope it arrives before Christmas to ensure the house can smell like Christmas.

[Phil Labonte]

Hopefully. Fingers crossed. I think it does.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

I've heard good things about that.

[Tim Pool]

Do we have any coming here? I have zero idea was that I.

[Phil Labonte]

Can bring it back when it gets them to it. Well, actually, I mean, no one's going to be here. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

So I don't know.

[Tim Pool]

Kat says. Holy Christ. Is Serge actually talking?

[Unknown]

Yep, yep.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Two days in a row, ladies and gentlemen.

[Tim Pool]

It just built up. He had something to say.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

All right. Raybert G. Stanbert says junior based gingerbread coffee for the win. I hope it arrives. Oh, I read that one already. I had to read it again. It was too good.

[Unknown]

That's good.

[Tim Pool]

Gray bear, stoned ape says first super chat ever. Abolish Pride Month. Replace it with Veterans Month. Good sir. July is mega month. Yeah, the month of July is Mega Month.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

We'll. We'll take June.

[Tim Pool]

June is pre mega month. We have to get ready to make America great again. Vex says they killed Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor who and Lord of the Rings to name a few for me. And don't get me started on some video games.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, it's unfortunate. You know, I like the, the, the fact that they, they had to insert political ideology into Star wars was a drag, in my opinion. There's a couple movies that were, that were good. Like Rogue One was great and that was totally sans political opinions. And it had a female heroine that was like, you know, the main character.

[Tim Pool]

And it made sense and it made.

[Phil Labonte]

It was exactly. It was great. It was great writing. But the biggest problem is that these, these movies that they're shoving the message into, they have bad writers because you can still tell a good story and actually have that, have a message if you want, if you have a good writer. But it seems that finding a good quality writer became secondary and all of these properties suffered for it, which is a shame.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

All right, we've got real hydro px. Oh, it's the actual one, huh?

[Phil Labonte]

Hi, Tim.

[Tim Pool]

Why won't you ever read an article from one of your amazing journalists? Why do you use all sources but not from your own website. We don't have a news site, so glad that's cleared up. There are no articles for me to read from that could explain it.

[Phil Labonte]

You did for a while.

[Tim Pool]

We. We did. And we used. We used the newsroom for almost every night on the show, but we no longer have a newsroom. G. Nell says Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. You based Basteds. We need a documentary called where the White Women at could be Huge. Bigger than what is a Woman? Am I Racist Combined?

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah, Gina L's coming in strong lately with the super chat.

[Phil Labonte]

Solid.

[Tim Pool]

Lurch says the obsession with anti Semitism is dumb. Jewish people are not entitled to be liked.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Sure.

[Tim Pool]

I think, I think the, the, the conflation of Israel criticism with anti Semitism is really annoying because clearly, like, Dave Smith is not angry at Jewish people. Then there are some people who clearly hate Jewish people and Israel. And largely because of what Israel does, they then conflate it with Jews. And then there are people who just outright don't like Jews. I generally, generally don't like people who have based their worldviews off of characteristics like that. If there's a legitimate criticism based on the actions of a particular person or an organization or corporation or whatever, or even a cultural group or religion, whatever it may be, that's totally fine. I just don't care for people who make their whole personality about one group of people. I don't care if it's the 1%. I don't care if it's fascists and white supremacists or the Jews. It's like, my, my friends, there's a whole world out there of powerful interests that do bad things, and they come in all shapes and sizes. So it's like if someone came here and was, you know, Jon Stewart was talking about, well, Hollywood is disproportionately Jewish. I'd be like, he's not wrong. So my critique of Hollywood does have an overlap in that regard, but I don't think it's because they're Jewish. And then if someone were. And also the banks are run by Irish people, which is really funny because we pulled up the CEOs of all these banks. And then if someone came out and said, you know, Islam as a religion in the hadith says to kill Jews. And I'm like, it certainly does, but that doesn't mean I'm going to hold it against an individual Muslim person on any other regard if they're opening a bank or something. So I think criticism, where criticism is due and merit where merit is due, respect where respect is due. And we want to. We want to criticize the elements of all these things that are bad. I think Christianity has some bad stuff in it, but Christians had a reformation and an enlightenment, and that's a good thing. So that's what we want to do. We want to focus on the good, and we want to critique the bad, and everybody's capable of good and bad. You know, all that stuff. But I do agree. You know, there's a lot of people that claim there. There are people who are very pro Israel and will literally say everything's anti Semitic. Like, again, Dave Smith being called anti Semitic because he criticizes Israel is stupid. You're allowed to criticize governments. All right, enough of that. It's also really annoying because when. When. When things get into the Israel, Palestine stuff, it's kind of just like, we get it. I'm like, now we got to talk about Ukraine. And it's like, oh, geez. All right, so Raviya says far left and far right are both socialists, just different on how they control society. Left is anti national identity. Right uses national identity. Ginger Jack says, since Hassan came up, perhaps you should play Twitch or Terrorist. You should be able to find the site in the search. Wait, really?

[Phil Labonte]

I'm Googling right now.

[Tim Pool]

Is that like a quote and they have to figure out if it came from a twitch streamer or a terrorist? Because that sounds hilarious. We should play that. The Members Only Fun. Is that a thing?

[Phil Labonte]

Twitcher, Terrorist.

[Tim Pool]

Please tell me that's an actual site.

[Phil Labonte]

It is.

[Tim Pool]

Is it just. Is it just one insult, though?

[Phil Labonte]

Let's see. Well, are there quotes? If it's don't cheat, Phil, I'm putting the. I'm putting it into the. Into the slack right now.

[Tim Pool]

If it's like a thing where it gives you a quote and then you have to pick whether it came from a twitch streamer or a terrorist, that'd be hilarious. But if it's just, like, insulting Hassan, it's like, okay, well, whatever.

[Phil Labonte]

I'm looking. Let's see. The first thing that came up, it brought up a picture of Hassan and a picture of Osama bin Laden. Let's see.

[Tim Pool]

Corporate wants you to find the difference.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, it's a quote. America has done nothing for you specifically.

[Tim Pool]

Okay, wait, wait, wait. Okay, okay, I get. We'll play this in the Members Only. This is gonna be fun.

[Phil Labonte]

Perfect.

[Tim Pool]

All right, all right. Good, good, good. Let's grab some more super chats. David M. Says Christmas decorations go up right after Halloween.

[Phil Labonte]

No.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

How dare you, sir, you're fired.

[Tim Pool]

Thanksgiving is pumpkin pie time. But what is Eggnog. The whole season. Like you could do eggnog.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

I've never had it before. Things. Christmas. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

It's always Christmas.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah. My whole life, at least.

[Tim Pool]

I'm pretty sure all the eggnog I've ever had has been, like, wrong.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And it's not supposed to be so thick. You're supposed to, like, mix it with something and, like, rum.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

I don't drink it. Really?

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. I've never actually had a real eggnog with rum in it.

[Phil Labonte]

You take eggnog. You can also take eggnog and then just cut it with milk and then kind of thins it out a little bit, especially if you use skim milk.

[Tim Pool]

What is eggnog?

[Phil Labonte]

I don't.

[Tim Pool]

Egg yolks and milk.

[Phil Labonte]

I'll Google that, too.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Serge has got to know.

[Tim Pool]

I don't know. It's got. It's got. Nobody knows. Something.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

No one knows.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. Polyper says goose is the Christmas bird. Oh, goose. Then what's pheasant?

[Unknown]

I don't know.

[Phil Labonte]

It's made with milk, cream, sugar, egg yolks, and whipped egg whites. And mixture sounds like. Flavored with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clothes. And it's a warm and comforting aroma.

[Tim Pool]

It sounds like if I put that in an ice cream machine, it's just ice cream. Yeah, yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

You know, it up a little bit.

[Tim Pool]

Custard.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

If you put it in the freezer, it's probably going to turn into ice. I mean, no, not ice. It'll turn into, like, ice cream.

[Tim Pool]

It won't.

[Phil Labonte]

I'm gonna be.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Pause.

[Tim Pool]

You have to churn it to make ice cream. But the. The cream. The. The cream won't.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Okay.

[Tim Pool]

Turn to ice. But that's why. Yeah. So the ice cream. We have an ice cream machine, and it's a. It's a. You freeze the bowl, and then you put it in, and it's got a. Like a plastic arm, and it spins. And so when you pour the. If you were to pour eggnog in it, it's. It freezes on the edge, and the scraper pulls off the edge and it whips it.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

We got that at the castle, right?

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. Otherwise, what happens is you just get a hard bowl and you're, like, hitting it, and then it's fatty. So it's not like ice, but it's not like good ice cream where you can just scoop it up. And then we have the. With the tabletop one, too, where it's A flat metal sheet, and then you pour the cream on it and you take the scrapers. Oh, that's like they do at the. Yeah, yeah. Old stone, right? Oh, yeah. Making ice cream is based af. Also, you got to get chickens. Just, you know, decide.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

That's the theme of. Theme of. Tim CAST IRL get chickens.

[Tim Pool]

The tagline is chickens are bait. Tim CAST IRL where chickens are based. We have the new skateboard coming out, the 28th Amendment, that should be available in a week or so. And it is a board, and it just looks like script and like old parchment paper. And it says, have you showed the people yet? I don't think so.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Okay.

[Tim Pool]

But they'll see it. It's got the best little doodle of a chicken ever. And it says, chickens being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep, bear and breed chickens shall not be infringed. And I believe it should be an amendment. Although if we actually did have an amendment like that, it would be for the purpose of livestock in general, but then it'd be kind of a problem if people had cows in their apartments in New York. But, hey, rights are right. You know, it's pretty wild. I don't think the founding fathers even thought they needed to enshrine the right to have animals. Isn't that crazy?

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

True. Because they figured it was just what it was.

[Phil Labonte]

Well, but like, in America, it's. America is a free country. So, like, the whole idea of being free means you can do whatever the hell you want unless it's prohibited. The reason why they had the second amendment was not because that you needed to grant people the right to keep and bear arms. It was to specifically say to the government, you cannot touch this right when you are in a free country. You don't need permission. You don't need stuff, you don't need protections. You're just free to do whatever you want, anything at all. That's what free means. We live in a country now full of people that. That assume they have to ask permission to do things. They assume that the government grants you permission to do stuff, when in reality, the government is supposed to be restricted and limited by the Constitution and the things that are not expressly and powers that are not expressly given to the federal government, the federal government doesn't have. In fact, there's an amendment that says that the 10th Amendment says if it's not expressly given to the federal government, then the powers are retained to the.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

States or to the people and leftists out there. Yeah, you can do whatever you want. But there are certain things you can't do because their laws will not allow you to do that. You can't just go around hurting people.

[Phil Labonte]

Well, there's, but that comes with every freedom, comes with responsibility. You don't have the right to infringe on someone else's rights. You don't have the right to hurt someone or destroy someone else's property. It's not yours. These are things that, honestly, the concepts are not complex, they're not difficult to understand. And once you hear someone articulate it, it's like, oh, well, yeah, I mean, that, that makes sense. You know, you, of course, just because you're free doesn't mean you can just take other people's, you know, pardon my French.

[Tim Pool]

The French have a naughty language.

[Phil Labonte]

They do, they do.

[Tim Pool]

I just mean like anytime, anytime anybody says anything bad, they accuse the French.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah. You say like C U N T and you're like, oh, pardon my French.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. Just literally any nasty thing you can say is the French.

[Phil Labonte]

It's French's fault. Naughty language.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Well, French fries.

[Unknown]

Well, that changes. Like country to country to country is like the rival country. We'll talk crap about them.

[Tim Pool]

Basically, Lillian may Briggs says 4th of July song, first line. Start the barbecue and gather round. Let me tell you a story about an experiment called America. Oh, now someone give me the next line. We can write that. Start the grill and gather round. Let me tell you a story about.

[Phil Labonte]

How this country was found.

[Tim Pool]

Boom. The rock star nails it in a matter of seconds.

[Sam Goodwin]

You must be a musician.

[Phil Labonte]

The words just come out, come out.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

The British came and they left fast because we were so tough. Look, kiss my ass.

[Phil Labonte]

We kicked their ass.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah, we kicked that.

[Tim Pool]

So I, I, I think the song would have to be more like, you know, the Christmas songs are about our experience during Christmas. It's not a. There are Christmas songs where it's like, you know, the Lord has come and things like this. But those are, those are more traditional, faith based. The modern rock Christmas songs are like jingle bell rock, you know what I mean? You know, I saw, I saw Mommy.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Connect Santa Claus underneath the mistletoe.

[Tim Pool]

So we need something like I saw a general, four star general launching fireworks in my yard or something. I don't know, something like that. I saw George, I saw Mommy kissing George Washington. Well, you know, George Washington comes to every good American's house to promise them freedom and leaves a copy of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution tripping over trauma says, my country tis of thee. I heard that The Star Spangled Banner is a weird L style cover. Cover parody.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Wait, what? Say what?

[Tim Pool]

Francis Scott Key took an existing song and just wrote new words for it.

[Unknown]

Yeah. That's true.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Better words.

[Tim Pool]

So you know it's copyright infringement.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Better words. The story of. Of the Star Spangled matters actually really cool.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

When he was actually flag and the. And the soldiers kept pulling it back up. And when the. When the cannon fire would go off, you'd see the flag in the distance.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

And the dude was there. Like on the ground.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Fucking amazing.

[Tim Pool]

I think he was a prisoner on a ship, wasn't he?

[Phil Labonte]

Yes.

[Tim Pool]

Yes. Was he a prisoner.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

But he was seeing it. He eyeballs.

[Tim Pool]

And he would see the flashes and the light. The flag was still there. Based.

[Phil Labonte]

Jeff.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Let's go.

[Phil Labonte]

America that Star Spangled Banner yet?

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Well, America's the best. It is Forward the line. The bad people, Democrats, leftists are done.

[Tim Pool]

All right, let's grab this one from. What have we here? Unfiltered Aquarist says it's called failing forward. You learn and grow with just attempting new things.

[Phil Labonte]

True.

[Tim Pool]

Smoke detectors with attitude says I no longer wish people Merry Christmas, but instead I now wish people I respect. Very based Christmas. Based Christmas.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Stim cast Basic back.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

It's Seamus's fault that we all say bass now because he came to the show and he kept saying it and we were saying it ironically and now we say it.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

And you used to do the based AF too.

[Tim Pool]

I still say based Chickens are based af.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

I guess there's a level.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. Ghosts of Corey Bing Bong says a Thanksgiving banger exists. It's called Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie. It's like 20 minutes long. Amazing story. Movie socks. Don't. Movie sucks. Don't watch.

[Phil Labonte]

Doesn't shock me that an Arlo Guthrie song is 20 minutes.

[Unknown]

I was gonna say Guthrie song.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Who's that guy? What'd you do?

[Tim Pool]

What's that? What other.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

He sings. I understand. But he's a.

[Phil Labonte]

He's an artist.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Okay.

[Phil Labonte]

I'm not sure of the. Any songs that. That are off the top of my head.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

I know any.

[Tim Pool]

What other. What other holidays are there that you.

[Phil Labonte]

Might have music for? Need music for? I mean, general.

[Tim Pool]

I feel like basically every modern. Like every song is already a Valentine's Day song.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

You know who's probably because it's either like. It's either just like whorish degeneracy or.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

It'S love songs or generous.

[Phil Labonte]

There's a lot of love songs.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. So you don't really need a Valentine's Day one, and then what's next? St. Patty's Day.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Say Patty said. Yeah, you're drinking. There's always songs about drinking.

[Tim Pool]

Drop kick, Drunken lullabies.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

All of the drop kick. Murphy's catalog.

[Tim Pool]

Literally entire catalog.

[Phil Labonte]

That's it.

[Tim Pool]

St. Patrick's Day.

[Phil Labonte]

We got the Russian national anthem for May Day.

[Tim Pool]

Labor Day or Labor Day?

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

What about.

[Phil Labonte]

We have Memorial Day, 5th of May. The. The workers.

[Tim Pool]

No, I'm saying Labor Day.

[Phil Labonte]

Is that the same? No, no.

[Tim Pool]

May Day and Labor Day are different. Labor. May Day is not a holiday. May Day is leftists going around and smashing things. Labor Day is a recognized holiday. And when we celebrate labor, we play the Soviet.

[Phil Labonte]

Someone keeps bringing up Metallica's Don't Tread on Me, which is actually a good, good call.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Do we have a Memorial Day song about the. I'm sure we do. Right, Glenn? Glenn. I mean, any guy.

[Phil Labonte]

Any song about fallen soul.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Yeah, yeah. You know, proud to be an American. At least I know I'm free. Yeah, yeah, that's. That's 4th of July song as well, Tim. So, yeah, we got a couple.

[Tim Pool]

All right. What. What do we got over here? In the old super chats, Joshua French says, phil, your coffee should have been crayon flavored. What is everyone's favorite crayon flavor? I'm pretty sure it's all just wax.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. Orange only. I think only Marines can actually taste the nuance. Differences between.

[Tim Pool]

Don't eat crayons.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

You like purple. On PCC the other day, you're saying purple's your ish.

[Tim Pool]

The Elvin Airman says, everyone talks about the right to bear arms, but no one ever asks, where do the bear arms come from? We must think of the bears. Yes, that's right. The right. That's a. That's a funny Family Guy joke where they're like, how could anyone misconstrue this? The right to bear arms. A pair of bear arms to put on your wall. The right to bear arms shall not be infringed. That's why we have the boonies skateboard@boonies hq.com the right to arm bears literally right behind me. How do I. How do I point? There we wait.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

With your finger.

[Tim Pool]

There we go. I got it. There it is.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Nice.

[Tim Pool]

I'm pointing in the wrong direction, but it works on camera and it is a bear. And I don't know why he's wearing a flannel or a hat, but he has a shotgun of some sort. So it is based.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

It looks good.

[Tim Pool]

The Right to arm. That was Sam's idea. He, he, he made. So that's one of his pro model boards as well as the boobies, this one here, which is the one behind Raymond and it's a blue footed booby bird and they're very silly birds that aren't scared of humans and so people find them hilarious.

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr.]

Sam is killing the boards.
