Tim Pool
An armed man was arrested outside of Trump's golf course in Los Angeles just before he was supposed to arrive. This man was taking photos, videos. Reports are flying across the board. We don't know exactly what is true just yet, but we're hearing some reports that he may have had body armor, that he was tracking security protocol, and they believe this may be an attempted assassination of the President or an attempt to. But we don't know for sure. Right now. It's all up in the air now. This happened on Sunday. As you know, it's currently Tuesday. So again, we're not entirely sure, but this news is breaking. We're gonna cover it. The news literally just broke in the past few minutes, so we will be covering that. But we also have a big, big night, my friends. There are many primaries going on, and tonight in Michigan, we are expecting the socialist who claims he's not a socialist to crush the establishment Democrats. That is a major scandal right now in Ohio with Max Miller, a Republican running for reelection who's accused of beating his wife and child. Now, he claims if that were true, he'd be in jail. But his wife's dad, his ex wife's dad, is Bernie Moreno, a Republican senator. So Moreno is coming out being like, yeah, he's a. He's a miserable guy and he's causing my family all these problems. So this doesn't. This is not some, like, Democrat versus Republican thing. This is like a Republican family turmoil. And now even Trump has called on him. Maybe you gotta back off. We don't know if you can win this one. Well, Miller is saying he's gonna stick around. We're cover that and a whole lot more before we do. My friends, we got a great sponsor for you.

Priya Patel
Hi, guys. Thanks for having me.
Tim Pool
Who are you?
Priya Patel
What are you doing here? I'm a political commentator and co host of the pretty political show.
Tim Pool
Well, right on. Thanks for hanging out. We got the boys hanging out.
Tate Brown
Yeah. What's going on, Patriots? Just. You're hanging out. Phil.
FilterMains
What's up, Tate?
Carter Banks
How you doing?
Tim Pool
All right, Carter.
Carter Banks
What's up, Phil? What's up, Tate? What's up, Priya? Thanks for coming.
Tim Pool
I can't see anything with these stupid glasses on.
Tate Brown
I can see like.
Tim Pool
I'm struggling to read the screen here. I got an ad read to do. These are. These are gimmicky daemon goggles for those that aren't familiar. I got them for Ian because apparently if you put them on, you can see demons.
Carter Banks
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And I mean, I saw maybe like three or four while I was doing the intro to the show, but the
Priya Patel
bit didn't last that long since I can't see anything. I'm like.
Tim Pool
I'm trying to read the screen and I'm like, I don't even know which tab is which.
Priya Patel
It does look really thick. I'm looking at it right now. I can't see anything through them.
Tim Pool
Yeah, yeah. You're supposed to be able to see demons.
Carter Banks
Yeah. They say the night vision that they made, like, way back when used the red infrared thing instead of the. The green one.
Tim Pool
God. Not to go, like, went down a
Carter Banks
huge rabbit hole on this.
FilterMains
Not to go off on a tangent, but, Tim, that. That clip you posted of Musk talking about being able to see using neuralink
Tim Pool
to see, read, write technology is done. It's.
FilterMains
That will be.
Tim Pool
So let's just. Let's just. Let's just kick off the show. There's a clip where Elon says we can now write to your brain. And we've talked about read, write technologies to. To for neuralink, meaning they can send information into your brain. It has begun. Elon's announces. We're gonna talk about that. But, hey, Also, guys, check out the new Tim Pool show. It's on Rumble and YouTube. Tim Pool Show. We have a couple of interviews that are up. We had Lily Tang Williams talking about growing up under communism. And we just interviewed julie mastrini of allsides.com and we broke down media bias. And, and here's the best part. She's this, you know, neutral arbiter for all sides. They're trying to track media bias. They're not trying to be partisan. And they're just like, yeah, the corporate press is absolutely biased liberal. Like every time you see it, it is biased liberal. So definitely check out the new channel. Subscribe. We've got new interviews coming up every single week, plus clips on the show. But let's jump into the breaking news. We got this from cnn. Armed man arrested at Trump's California golf course ahead of President's visit. You know, we love using cnn. An armed man was arrested sund outside Trump National Golf golf club in SoCal after federal agents reported a suspicious person walking the property. The Secret Service is investigating whether the person posed a threat to President Donald Trump, a federal law enforcement source told cnn. The source earlier told CNN there was no current indication the person was plotting an attack on the President, but noted the investigation was ongoing. Deputies. Now here's where it gets weird. Deputies identified the man as 38 year old Janine John Tail of Downey, who they said was under investigation by the El Segundo Police Department in a robbery case. Now when we were.
Carter Banks
When we were.
Tim Pool
This story is breaking right now and immediately the question was, is that a
Priya Patel
man named Janine, Strange male name, never heard it before.
Tim Pool
Yeah, me neither. Perhaps it is not really a man.
FilterMains
Is it a man?
Tim Pool
So this is the problem that I have with all of the gender can be whatever you want. I'm going to go ahead and just assume this person's trans. For, for, for one reason. It's a man named Janine. That's it. And I'm not trying to drag trans people. Not at all. My point is this. The media, the corporate press will use preferred pronouns and identifiers.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So if this was a trans man, they would just say man with the name Janine. It could also be less likely a biological male who calls himself Janine. And the reason why I think it's unlikely is because CNN would say woman. However, because this person was arrested for trying to assassinate Trump is the presumption. We don't know that that's actually the case, but they're investigating it. This is where the media would Then lie again and say man. Because they don't want it to be implied that it was a woman or a trans person. You see what I mean?
Tate Brown
Yeah.
Tim Pool
It intentionally makes it confusing because there will be instances where the media will say if it's a positive story that this brave woman and it'll be like it'll be a dude. But then if there's a trans person doing something wrong, it'll be like a man.
Priya Patel
Yeah. They'll make it super ambiguous and just pretend go along with the preferred narrative of talking about.
FilterMains
Talking about trans people nowadays. It reminds me of that scene in the Princess Bride where Vicini's talking to the man in black and he's like, you know, but I know and I know and he's try like I know that you know. Yeah. Like going through the whole meta thought thing. That's kind of what it's like trying to talk about the gender of a trans person now.
Tim Pool
Well, let's, let's, let's. I want to get to the. What the person was doing. They say I'm assuming it's pronounced tail. Was taking photos and videos on the grounds and appeared to be monitoring security planning activities. According to the sheriff's department. He was arrested on charges of carrying concealed firearm and possession of prohibited ammunition. Detectives assigned to the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force executed a search warrant for tails residents Monday due to the potential security implications surrounding the incident. Investigators recover what they described as an illegally modified AR style rifle, a.45 caliber pistol, body armor, high capacity magazines, ammunition, radio signal devices and multiple notebooks containing what the sheriff's department called concerning statements. Is going to be another trans manifesto.
Priya Patel
Probably.
Tate Brown
Now there's a realistic situation. This is just a guy with a really gay name because there could be like another guy somewhere in America. His name is also Janine and he's seeing everyone.
Priya Patel
Really.
Tate Brown
It's a trans person right now. He's like dude. No, it's actually like a really masculine. And that guy's definitely not trans. He's tweeting right now.
Priya Patel
That's a super like some roided out bodybuilder. That's.
Tate Brown
Yeah, I think the name like a really masculine name. Guy like that guy is actually in a worse position right now than anyone involved in this story.
FilterMains
Is the I shot, I shot you a dirty look because what is prohibited ammunition?
Priya Patel
Yeah, well you know what?
FilterMains
You're from California, so translate for all of us normal people.
Priya Patel
I'm not super up to date on the exact laws regards to firearms in the United. I know that Glocks are completely banned in California, but for now. For now. But there is increasingly just any modification that you basically make to a just factory gun is basically banned in the state of California. So, I mean, I feel like that's kind of an ambiguous. We'll give that a pass. But it is, it is just wild.
FilterMains
It is.
Tim Pool
Of course, they're basically saying that California has banned the ammunition. Yeah, there's tons of things that they've banned. Maryland does the same thing.
FilterMains
Yeah, yeah, it is worth noting. You know, he's got a.45 caliber pistol. He's got an AR, I guess an AR style pistol, likely. And body armor. This is not just some random person walking around. I don't know if body armor is illegal in California. I know that it's illegal in New York, but yeah, like, this person had some kind of plan, no matter how wackadoodle.
Priya Patel
It is great to highlight, though, that this guy obviously probably had nefarious intentions. Just because the. The ammunition was prohibited doesn't stop him from actually having it, especially if he is not someone that is really privy to following the law in the first place.
Carter Banks
Yeah, true.
FilterMains
The. The fact that, you know, like I said, the fact that he had all of this stuff strongly indicates another. What's this, like, the sixth attempt on Donald Trump's life? I granted this was, you know, it's likely that Trump was never in any significant danger in this particular instance. Yeah, well, you know, there's that guy and then there was the dude that tried to run into the correspondence dinner.
Tate Brown
That one is the kid, like the most Reddit manifesto I've ever seen in my life. So that just happened?
Carter Banks
Yeah.
Tim Pool
You mean like a Katanji Brown Jackson opinion?
Tate Brown
Yeah, literally. Yeah, I know. He like, say, it's like, if you're reading this, Mom. Hi, Mom. And I'm like, oh, my gosh, never mind. Don't stop there. This is like kind of the same thing where I bet this dude, like, his dot, his notebook's gonna be as manifesto is gonna be the most like, Reddit thing ever. Because there's something going on at the Reddit waffen right now. I don't know what it is. They've always been. Yeah, there's always been a problem with them, but I think, like, I don't know if, like, I don't know if RFK is getting their HRT cut off or something, but they're starting to lose it. Like they're acting like cornered animals and I'm someone being serious. Actually, I believe it.
Carter Banks
Where.
Tate Brown
Yeah, these Guys are just like walking around like, all strapped up with bob body armor. Oh, yeah. I was just like walking by the golf course and like, it's crazy.
Carter Banks
No, I mean, not your typical everyday carry stuff that you would have, especially in California.
Priya Patel
Exactly.
Tate Brown
What you can't even walk to by the President with like, I see that
Tim Pool
was it Mel Gibson on Rogan. And he was saying like, he doesn't, he doesn't have bodyguards anymore. And Joe was like, you're gonna get kidnapped. And he was like, eh, if it happens, it happens. He's like, yeah, he's, I totally, I totally get that sentiment because, you know, I would say not all the time, but most of the time I've got bodyguards with me. And I'm just at a point where it's like, I just, whatever, dude. You know, I'm just, it's, it's, it's not a way to live.
FilterMains
Start carrying every day.
Tim Pool
Well, you can't carry in D.C. in Virginia. Well, you can technically carry in Virginia, but in Maryland you definitely can't. Yeah, so of course, in, in West Virginia. Yeah, obviously. But yeah, no, we, we're, we're in the Quad State. So it's like you're locked in either way. Well, I mean, no, I mean, if you want to go to Maryland, you're not carrying.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tim Pool
You'll go to prison.
Priya Patel
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, you're just kind of locked in. You're not really, you don't.
Tim Pool
So it's like, who wants to really live that way? Walking around bodyguards all the time? I don't, no.
Priya Patel
Nobody. Well, especially when you live in places like this, it's not like you're a celebrity in Los Angeles. And you also don't really fear for your life as a celebrity, like a normal celebrity.
Tim Pool
No, I, I, I, I, it depends on, like, which degree of celebrity you are, I guess.
Priya Patel
Yeah, I guess.
Tim Pool
But I mean, like, John Bernthal lives out here in Maryland. I, I, I doubt, like, people probably recognize him periodically, but although he's in one of, he's, he's in like, he's actually in the biggest movie of all time. Spider Man's got the biggest opening. I, I don't think, I think if you walk down the street, people wouldn't stop him. But Tom Holland would stop two seconds every time.
Priya Patel
But it's totally, but it's not like it's, it's not threats. I mean, sure, there are crazies out there, but it's not typically threats on your life. What, like you're doing is highly controversial. So you get death threats every day. That's a little bit different.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Priya Patel
I think just being a public figure.
FilterMains
Yeah. It depends on who you are, what you're like, why you're famous. Right.
Tim Pool
I'm just saying this in the context like Mel Gibson's obviously political and Donald Trump is the president. And I'm just bringing it up to like, this is where we're at right now. Trump wants to go golfing. Because I'm just looking at this golf course being like, man, you can't even go golfing. Like, you can't even. You can't just go golfing because everybody's insane, because there's insane people everywhere. So.
Priya Patel
Well, then two.
Tim Pool
Not a way to live, man.
Priya Patel
Either two or three of the assassination attempts have been on golf courses. Right. There was the one immediately after Butler and then was there another one?
FilterMains
There was Florida and then this is the second one. At a golf course. I mean, a golf course, people assume that security is going to be less, I guess, less tight, but at the
Priya Patel
same time, his golf course and he's the president, you don't think that they're.
FilterMains
It's the president, you know, I mean, right, wrong or different. Like the, the security that the president has generally is the best security in the world. I can't think of other heads of state. I mean, maybe some of the Saudi princes might like, you know, MBS might have, have tight security like that, but otherwise the people that have security as tight as the president, they're probably drug lords or maybe someone, someone in the ir, you know, the head of the irgc, you know. Yeah, but even the head of the irgc, he doesn't have to worry about being, you know, shot by a, an assassin. He has to worry about being chopped up by a Ginsu.
Tim Pool
You guys see that, that Ukrainian drone video?
FilterMains
Which one?
Tim Pool
The Ukrainian one. The one where the Ukrainian drone bombed the. Slammed into the beach in Russia and killed those civilians. No, you guys haven't seen this stuff.
Carter Banks
I've not seen.
Tim Pool
There was the Russian drone that chased the guy around his fruit cart and then went.
FilterMains
The last, the last Ukrainian drone that I saw was literally a Russian dude I just saw from Funker. 5:60, I think there are. He's sitting, he's like laying in the grass.
Carter Banks
Yeah, yeah.
FilterMains
Fully nude. And the drone, drone pops him and he goes flying into the water that he's laying down next to.
Tate Brown
My gosh Looney Zoom style.
FilterMains
War is terrible.
Tate Brown
I muted all of that like a year ago. I was just like Just whenever someone wins, let me know.
Tim Pool
So right now we're tracking the. The key primary races where we are expecting the Democratic Socialist who claims not a socialist. Al said to win in for the Senate race in the Democrat, on the Democrat side. And the funny thing is he says he's not a socialist. You know, he's not endorsed by the dsa. The DSA is campaigning on his behalf. Yeah, AOC is rallying with him. Hasan Piker showed up. The dude is a socialist. This is what these people are evil. They're just liars. They want power so they can dismantle and burn down your system. But we'll be tracking this throughout the night. The polls are closing right now. And then we can, I guess, pop pour one out for James Carville. He'll be, he'll be quitting the Democratic Party tonight, I guess.
FilterMains
No one says James Carville. Yeah, look, we say it all the time here, but like, even if someone doesn't conceive of them, someone in the DSA doesn't actually conceive of themselves as a communist.
Tim Pool
Like they're listening to anything that they say.
Tate Brown
Yeah.
FilterMains
They're still doing all of the things that will move the left further left and will support what the furthest extremes in the. On the left want. So it's like, okay, Saeed, maybe you think that people should retain property rights. Cool. All the people that you're caucusing with don't.
Priya Patel
Yeah. You know, and you think that you're going to be able to go up to bat against all of them? I don't think so. I don't think so. You're a vessel.
FilterMains
That's all you are. Once you get elected, they'll knife you in the back as well. You know that. Because that is standard behavior from, from the, the far left.
Priya Patel
Yeah, exactly.
FilterMains
Yeah. So the, the, the protesting it. Oh, I'm not a communist.
Carter Banks
I'm.
Tim Pool
Pull up this video. You can't really see much, but let's. This just seems.
Priya Patel
This is the drone video.
Tim Pool
Yeah. I'm surprised you guys haven't seen it. This is a Russian beach. These are civilians. And that is a Ukrainian drone slamming into the beach.
FilterMains
Was it intentional killing?
Tim Pool
Three events now. I don't think it was intentional. There's no strategic value in it actually just hurts. Ukrainian er and so what looks like is in other reporting, they were shooting at the drone as it was passing by, damaged it and then it went down and crashed into the beach. Of course, you're now getting pro Russian side being like, oh, the Ukrainians are Targeting civilians and trying to play it up. But it's interesting nonetheless because the future of warfare is terrifying. We're finding out now that what the US Is precision missiles are depleted basically out of key ammo. And the. The drones that they use are like dirt cheap. They cost, like, I think the actual price.
Tate Brown
Watching like air hogs, they stomp on it and launch it over like 50 or using like million dollar Patriot missiles. I'm like, oh, great, yeah, this is certainly a great replacement.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I've heard. Because I remember air hogs, yeah, he's
Tate Brown
launching them and they're like, they love that. And you watch the videos and it's much more relatable watching Iran because they're like, they blow something up.
Tim Pool
So now, now you guys got to watch this other video. This one's been going massively viral as well. We got the. Our good friend Volodymyr Zelensky saying today, many were shocked by another video of a drone safari Russians are carrying out against civilians. In Kherson, a Russian drone deliberately hunted down a man selling vegetables and detonated right next to him. Now, again, I'm like, you can't. There's nothing graphic in these videos. This guy was fine. He survived. But this video is insane. Check this out.
FilterMains
Jesus.
Priya Patel
Oh, my gosh.
Tim Pool
This is why the drone is circling around his van trying to get him. He's trying to hide under the umbrella.
Carter Banks
The worst kind of wasp.
Tim Pool
Watch this, watch this. Right, right here, right here.
Priya Patel
Oh. Oh, my gosh.
Tim Pool
That's insane. The dude is apparently fine, actually.
Carter Banks
What?
Tim Pool
Yeah, like, it, it. It looks like it's hitting, but it's actually hitting. He got around the side and was apparently okay, I guess maybe like minor injuries from falling down or whatever, but totally fine. And there's videos after the fact of him getting up and he's okay.
Carter Banks
Wow.
Tim Pool
But look at that last strike. Look how crazy that is. As it goes for the. Goes for the.
FilterMains
Yep.
Tim Pool
That's insane. Dude. Remember what, Remember that Black Mirror episode where all the robot dogs were killing everybody? No, did I see that one?
Tate Brown
Yeah, you got.
Tim Pool
You saw it.
FilterMains
I didn't watch anybody.
Tim Pool
So it's like the Black Mirror did an episode where in the future there's a few human survivors and there is just like, what is effectively Amazon mass producing products, just dumping the boxes because there's no humans left. And then it's got robot dogs that hunt you down and kill you. And there's like a lady, she like, hides in a house and the robot that comes for. See, the crazy thing is that's not how it's gonna be. These things are gonna run. It would blow up.
FilterMains
Yep.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tim Pool
There's no reason for them to, like, try and shoot at you or chase, like, chase you down and then, like, attack you with their little robot.
Tate Brown
I would have, like a vest with, like, water bottles and just splash them and then short out.
Tim Pool
It's just not real.
Tate Brown
That's how it goes.
Tim Pool
Never gonna work. It's just not.
Tate Brown
That's what I would do.
Carter Banks
Like a fire extinguisher.
Tim Pool
It would do nothing.
Tate Brown
Yeah. Just get a water gun. You're done.
Tim Pool
To be fair, a fire extingu.
Priya Patel
Blind them or something.
Tim Pool
It definitely would, bro. I'm trying to drive a Tesla on autopilot when it's raining.
FilterMains
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And like every five minutes it's like, you know, it's like I. Whenever. Whenever I'm in the car. My wife hates auto drive.
Priya Patel
Yeah, I do too.
Tim Pool
And she's like, just drive it for real. But when I'm driving and then it goes like, I go. And she goes, stop doing that. She doesn't like the offensive jokes.
FilterMains
My. Every time that I'm in the car and I'm letting the car drive, my girlfriend's telling me to turn it off so she can tell me where to go. Go that way.
Tim Pool
To be fair, the auto drive takes the long way sometimes and it's really annoying.
FilterMains
It does, it does. There. It's. You definitely are. There are definitely times where I'm like, all right, I'm taking over because I don't like what it's doing. Yeah. But it's not like it's doing anything wrong.
Tim Pool
It's gonna be funny when you're in your self driving car and you're just. You're like. You're just sitting there and your eyes are half. Half glazed over as this guy going on the street. And then all of a sudden it starts blinking red and like, war.
FilterMains
War.
Tim Pool
Commandeering mode active. And the car just turns into like a field. Drives full spe. Just slams into like a building, destroying it. And it's like, well, you know, we're at war, so it would be nice
Tate Brown
if ICE could commandeer him. And it like pops your back door open and they chuck in a guy and it takes you to like, the nearest facility. I'd be like, yes, sir.
Tim Pool
I mean, this is. We talked about. This is where we're going. You're going to be in your car driving the.
Tate Brown
The.
Tim Pool
I think one of the main reasons they want to go full autonomous cars is no more police chases. Yeah, no more, no more getaway drivers.
Priya Patel
They've already started. Like the, the. What's it called? Like the, the, like the police will be able to turn off your vehicle in California.
Tim Pool
You're going to be in a car and cops and try and pull you over. Like that New York case where the guy tried fleeing, then the cop pulled a pit maneuver, a little girl flew out of the car and died and they criminally charged the cop. What they're going to do is they're going to go to conservatives and they're going to be like, we can't have this anymore. We need the police to have the ability to shut down these criminals cars. And conservatives are going to be like, yeah, Trump's going to say so. And then what's going to happen is you're going to get pulled over and the cops going to click a button. Your car is going to shut off.
Priya Patel
Yeah, exactly.
Tate Brown
Drive past people with the universal remote and turn their car off at the stoplight. Just a prank go.
FilterMains
And any car that's pre1990 is just going to skyrocket value.
Carter Banks
Oh, bro.
Tim Pool
It's going to be like. It's going to be like actual machine guns.
FilterMains
Yeah, yeah.
Tate Brown
My car. The only electronic in my car besides like probably some components in the motor is literally the radio, like the CD player, everything else.
Tim Pool
Like the what?
Tate Brown
Like the CD player?
FilterMains
Yep.
Tim Pool
The what player.
FilterMains
He said it.
Tate Brown
I love having the CDs. I like burn my own CDs. And I, I like the worst. Having a burn.
Priya Patel
Dude, how old are you?
Tate Brown
25.
Tim Pool
Funny thing, bro, like, you weren't alive in the CD era.
Tate Brown
Yeah, I was actually.
Tim Pool
Yes, we were technically alive, but not lucid.
Tate Brown
Oh, I'm like burning podcasts on the CDs. That's.
Tim Pool
How do you.
Priya Patel
I'm 25 as well. So we, my mom and I, we would have. When I was growing up, we would have. We had three CDs on rotation.
Tate Brown
Well, yeah, well, cuz like I grew up, I guess.
Tim Pool
Kind of like. Kind of. Kind of like how my parents had some old eight tracks.
Tate Brown
Well, because I grew up in like, like K Love world too. And like that they like disseminated their music through CDs, like exclusively. I'll admit I miss like the eight track or what. I don't know how any of that works, but.
FilterMains
Did you have the big book of CDs?
Tate Brown
Yeah, yeah. Because I was so like a thing. Yeah, we had like CDs and it was all just like Caleb music.
Tim Pool
You guys know there's like A dude with like 10 million subscribers and all he does is make a 90s videos.
FilterMains
Jesus.
Tate Brown
Oh, my God.
Tim Pool
It's like a video where you're like. He makes one mistake, though. It's a video where it's like, it's. It's 1996. You woke up in the last 30 years.
Tate Brown
Were.
Tim Pool
Were a horrible nightmare. And then like, the whole room is set up with like, an old Windows 95, you know, and he's got like 90s toys, and there's like posters on the wall, and then the mom yells your name. The problem is it's filmed from an adult height. Yeah. So it's like the dude stands up and you can tell from how. Where you staying at the door. He's like, at least five, ten.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tim Pool
You're like, no, no, I know that,
FilterMains
like, I sound like I'm too much on Team Good Times as opposed to Team Bum out. But like, last 30 years, like the la. The Lake Covid was kind of a bum out, like, for a couple years there was. Otherwise, the last 30 years for me have been sick, so
Priya Patel
that's been great.
Tim Pool
I got to fact check. The Best buy stop selling CDs in 2018. So I guess.
Tate Brown
I guess in Winchester, they sell a ton of CDs, and I go on there. I buy DVDs too. I like having DVDs, but the.

The last like 10 if 2018 is when they stopped. So the last five years of it, there was like two rows, you know? Yeah.
Tim Pool
I mean, we actually. We actually have a CD player wired to our sound system in this building.
Tate Brown
I love that offhand comment.
Tim Pool
CD, cassette, and Viny.
Tate Brown
Like, last 30 years, been sick. You're like, hey, whoever's managing this decline, you're doing a good job. You're managing this like no one could have done it.
FilterMains
I mean, look, man.
Tim Pool
Figured it out. The reason why they're trying to get Gen Z to be nostalgic for the 90s is because after the fall happens, you're gonna have to use analog technology. So they're trying to get you ready for it.
Tate Brown
Could be.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
FilterMains
Yeah, Abby.
Tim Pool
Could be.
Tate Brown
I'm just a contrarian. I think that's what most of it is. I'm a contrarian. I'm kind of stubborn.
Tim Pool
Well, I mean, there's a bunch of articles about how Gen Z is nostalgic for an era they didn't live in.
Priya Patel
Yeah, 100.
Tate Brown
Yeah. Like, I'm. I don't think I'm nostalgic for the 2000s. I think it is like the 1990s.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tate Brown
Because the 2000s kind of sucked.
Tim Pool
You missed out, bros.
FilterMains
It was great.
Carter Banks
Nope.
Tim Pool
Yeah, we all had rollerblades.
Tate Brown
I was there for the everybody thousands. It was kind of gay.
Tim Pool
Everybody had rollerblades in 1994. Oh, no.
FilterMains
94 was like, festivals every summer.
Tate Brown
Yeah, I guess.
Tim Pool
Yeah. See, that's it.
Tate Brown
You're the ones with the sparks when you hit the back.
Priya Patel
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that.
Tim Pool
That's. That's so sad for you guys.
Tate Brown
That's, like, the coolest thing ever. And we had, like. If you show us, like, commercials that were on, like, read like Disney or.
Priya Patel
Yeah, yeah.
Tate Brown
They went, like, the same.
Priya Patel
They were doing, like, sick tricks on them and stuff.
Tate Brown
Blendy pens. And they had, like, the foam.
FilterMains
Sick tricks.
Tim Pool
I think I've actually been considering banning scooters at the skate park here.
FilterMains
Oh, really?
Tim Pool
There's no more scooters?
Priya Patel
Scooters, no.
Tim Pool
But ever so often. And it's because there have been a few older skateboard dads who brought their kids to skate and gave them scooters. And I was like, no, no, hold on there a gosh darn minute. It's one thing if somebody scoots. I don't got any beef. You can just. You go have fun. But when you're like an old skate dad and you're like, I didn't give my kid my skateboard. I gave him a scooter instead. I'm like, well, now you're just offending me personally.
Priya Patel
Yeah. What about, like, BMX bikes?
Tim Pool
How we got a couple here?
Priya Patel
Okay.
Tim Pool
Yeah, bikes are okay. Rollerblades are okay. Skateboards are fine. I don't really care about scooters, but scooters are fake. You know what I mean? Like, so scooters are culturally fake. And I'm going to explain. And this is intentionally to offend all the scooter guys out there. And I hope they share this clip because there's, like, Jordan Clark's incredible. And our Willie, just a master of his craft. But a lot of these guys like our Willie, he's gotten onto other. For those who don't know, he is. He's a massively famous pro athlete. Is like, they do what you call it. What's that big action sports thing, Nitrous circus. And. But he was a scooter guy, and then he started doing everything, and now he's on BMX for the most part. So the thing is, bicycles have existed for a long time. They get invented. I think, like, the first bike didn't have any pedals. It was like, just You. You'd scoot yourself, and you just, like, kick your feet. Yeah, but. But bicycles. People have bicycles. And then what happens is someone tries to learn how to do tricks on them, and they start learning how to jump and do bunny hops. Skateboards were made in, like, was like, early 60s, just putting. Taking roller skate trucks and putting them on. On boards. And so this was a natural thing that people decided to do. Scooters were just cheap and easy to ride and were mass produced and distributed by corporations through department stores. So it wasn't like one day some kid was like, I want to make. I want to. I want to stick bike handlebars on my skateboard and be able to do skateboard tricks and bike tricks and combine it. It was. Parents went to Walmart and bought this product that was made by a marketing division and then got a bunch of kids to do it because it was cheaper and it was easier to ride.
Priya Patel
So you're telling me that scooters are a psyop?
Tim Pool
No, no. It's like skateboards emerge naturally. BMXing emerge naturally. Rollerblades emerge naturally. These were all slowly developed by individuals who started exploring what they could do on these things. Scooters were marketed by a corporation as. As an easier, cheaper tool for. For parents. And because they were like the race, scooters could be folded up. It was easy to put away. So it wasn't like some dudes got together and were like, what if we made this cool thing we can ride? It was some dude in a suit who never skated scooter or anything before, who was like, parents are gonna love this cheap toy for $20, and then got a bunch of kids to ride it around. And then those kids started doing tricks on them. Then to be fair, they did create industry scooters, which I can respect, but I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I think it's fake.
Priya Patel
What are industry scooters?
Tim Pool
Like, they have wider bodies. They're designed specifically for doing action sports.
Priya Patel
Oh, okay.
Tim Pool
As opposed to, like, scooters originally emerged as a, like, a corporate trash product at Walmart.
Priya Patel
Okay. Yeah.
Tim Pool
Yeah. It would be like if skateboarding emerged with, like, Walmart skateboards that break.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And they're just trash, but that came after the fact. So it's kind of like skateboarding gets big, and then the Walmart tries making these $20 boards that are just total trash to sell the parents, but they suck, and you can't really learn do anything on them. Scooting emerges because the equivalent is this you know, low, low quality garbage, cheap metal thing. And then kids started using them and from there started trying to do other things on it. So I'm not a big fan of the emergence of scooters. I like rollerblades better, but I, you know, look, I respect that you do a triple flare. I got no beef. That's a. That's a sick trick. That's crazy.
FilterMains
Around three times.
Tim Pool
You got balls. A triple flare is a. Is a triple.

Tim Pool
Backflip 180.
FilterMains
Oh, okay. Well, yeah.
Priya Patel
Lot larger.
Tim Pool
I think there's only, like, one guy who can do it, too.
FilterMains
Yeah, that's. Yeah.
Tim Pool
But it is funny because a lot of these scooter guys have switched to BMX because people just don't have respect for scooters. And there's talk of bringing scooters to the X Games, but the X Games is stupid anyway. The X Games used to be great when it was just one time per year and it was the big moment of the year, and they were like, let's do four of them per year. And now they're all just. It's random.
FilterMains
It's.
Tim Pool
Who cares?
Priya Patel
I don't think I've heard about. This is also something that's very outside of my typical interest. But I haven't heard of the X Games since, like, early 2000s Tony Hawk era. Like, peak Tony Hawk.
Tim Pool
It was like mid 2010s when it was at its peak and massive. And then what I credit its downfall to, they said, how about instead of just doing the X Games once a year like we always do, and it was something you could count on.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Like every year you're like, hey, we got to put on the X Games. They were like, let's do four or five of them. And so then it was just 24, seven. All day, every day, there's some kind of X Games happening. So you just never care to tune in.
Priya Patel
Yeah, that's fair enough. Yeah.
FilterMains
The. The lack of frequency is. Is part of why it's special.
Priya Patel
Totally. Well, I mean, just like a very different example, but it's like if you had four Super Bowls a year, it wouldn't be as exciting, obviously. Yep. That's a massive culture.
Tate Brown
16 Super Bowls for each team.
FilterMains
That way everybody wins, right?
Priya Patel
Yeah, exactly.
Tim Pool
Every state gets its own Super bowl
Tate Brown
equality, 16 chances to win.

Everybody except for the Lions, nobody would watch.
Tim Pool
We got some of the results coming in from Michigan's U.S. senate race. With 1% of the votes in, Abdul El Sayed is winning. Haley Stevens is going to get crushed. Isn't she just listen, guys, I'm going to tell you. Abdul El Sayed. Ok, have you guys watched him?
Tate Brown
Yeah.
Tim Pool
He is charismatic.
Tate Brown
Yeah.
Tim Pool
He is physically fit.
Tate Brown
Yeah.
Tim Pool
He has substantially more X factor and charisma than Haley Stevens. She's just a miserably bad guy.
Tate Brown
One of the most pathetic debate performances I watched like five minutes. I was like embarrassed for her and turned it off.
Tim Pool
What are they, what are the Democrats doing? Are they just like, I'm sorry, Democrat party's over, man. Yeah, the Democratic socialists want to destroy the Democrats. They don't like what they stand for. They're not even the same political party. And the Democrats can't stop them because they're squares.
FilterMains
Not only that, but they don't have any kind of way to argue against what they're saying. The whole Democrat Party has been essentially moving left forever. Right. They don't have the ability to stand up and say, no, this policy is bad because the, the far, the further left has no problem doing all the cancel routine on them. And the left doesn't have the courage to stand up and say, I don't care that you're, that you're trying to cancel me. The right has gone, has gotten to the point where they're like, I don't care what you call me. You can call me this. Call me that is, is that thing. I don't care. It doesn't matter because the right has really gotten to the point where they kind of just say everything that you say is always the same attack vector. They, they've learned. And the left doesn't have the, the, the Democrats don't have the ability because it still matters to them. Like they're still like, oh, we're not racist, we're not sexist, we're not whatever ist. And so if you tell them, oh, you're racist instead of saying, instead of shut up. I don't, you're, you're whatever. And ignoring it, they start to defend themselves. No, I'm not. No, I'm not. And if you start defending yourself, then you're going, you're acknowledging that maybe the person that's attacking you has some justification for why they're doing it. Maybe you've said something insensitive and it just shows weakness. It's totally like the left doesn't have any defense of it. Defense from it. And that's part of why the DSA is going to take over the whole Democrat Party.
Priya Patel
Well, this is also a very similar vessel that we've seen with the rise of communism in Many other governments in many other countries and in recent past even. But the thing is, is that it's just been such a slow burn for a really, really long time. And you've seen the slow embrace of it because of. Yes, these very, very loose, like, sensitive, let me accept these people kind of unspoken policies, I guess. And it's just going to come up from under them because what does the Democrat party even stand for anymore, really, other than socialism? Well, that's exactly it. Is that like they, they've tried to kind of steer away from the woke talking points because they know that it doesn't work, but they have no other choice because there's what. They can't embrace conservatism. They can't reject the gays or anything. They have no talking points. So.
Tim Pool
So now it's so easy to win as a Democrat. Seriously, like, running as a Republican is hard mode. Like, imagine you've got 10 people in front of you and you want. You're like, you know what, man? I want to play on hard mode. Guys, here's the truth. It's going to. We have to work really, really hard to roll up our sleeves. We're not always going to get everything we want, but we're going to put in an honest day's work, wipe the sweat from our brow and be grateful. And they're going to go, but I want more stuff. The Democrat is easy mode. Just go, I'll give you more stuff. What stuff? Literally, whatever you want. You want a million dollars? Yours now. I'm kidding. Second I'm elected, the Democrats just do things like this. Your health care should be free. I'll make someone else pay for it.
Priya Patel
Yeah, exactly.
Tim Pool
Okay, well, you can't. It doesn't work that way. But you can just lie. It's. It's wonderful.
Priya Patel
That's exactly right. And that's what they always do. That's why the rise of mom Donnie kind of hit a peak and then kind of crashed and burned because people were seeing that all of his promises were not coming to fruition. Where is he getting the money for all of these, you know, initiatives?
FilterMains
Kathy o'.
Carter Banks
Tool.
Priya Patel
Well, yeah, exactly. He gets a bailout from Kathy Hogle. So he puts a band aid on, on it, basically saying that I balanced or I, I got the deficit to zero or something. It's not, you can't have anything otherwise anyways. So the state was going to have to bail you out. But then now you see all this drama with the new taxation on the quote unquote, second homes of the wealthy non residents of New York and all this, that and the other. And now all of it's just a public forum or, you know, at a height of, you know, threats coming against wealthy people and, you know, CEOs and all this stuff. You're just doxing all of their public addresses. Sounds like a really great idea.
Tate Brown
Yeah, yeah, this is, this is like a pretty. I think what's happening here is pretty grim, which is like, this is kind of what happened in 2016 into 2018 with the Republican Party, where Trump comes in, the establishment Republicans. I was outlining this on the show yesterday, actually. Trump comes in, he starts getting aligned. You know, when he first comes in, he has no allies. So he has like basically form an alliance out of thin air, and he ends up having to cozy up with a lot of these people that hate him. But as 2018 comes around, he starts picking up some key allies. People start winning elections. A lot of the Tea Party is where he ended up finding a lot of his allies. But there was a lot of people problematic. It's either here nor there. It's about two to three years for Trump to fully be, like, kind of accepted in the Republican Party. And then by the time 2024 rolls around, that's the default position. So at that point, the Republican Party has been completely overhauled. No one would seriously argue the Republican Party now looks anything like it did 10, even 20 years ago. I mean, people are like, or at war with Iran. It's like, okay, well, I mean, that's just American politics, unfortunately. But as far as policy goes, I mean, certainly on immigration, it's night and day. The fact that, like, the Republicans are now anti free trade and the Democrats are socialists, are pro free trade is, like, hilarious. So you're seeing like a lot of these complete orientations. What I'm trying to get out here is, no, the Democrats, like, won't go away. If the DSA reigns victorious. It's actually just worse for everyone is because that means now the 60 to 70% of Democrats who have no agency and they'll kind of just vote for whoever has a D next to it will now be voting for DSA Canada. Same thing up the Republican Party. Like when, when Trump first ran for president, I vividly remember all these people that now love him were like, get this joker off the stage. Like, what's this guy's problem? And then now he wins and they're like, this guy's awesome. So the reality is the majority of your constituents will just kind of like our team players. There's like, I don't know, I'm just down. We're patriots. Like, I'm down. Whoever's on the Republican ticket, the Democrats are the same thing where 60 to 70% of them are just like, I don't know, I hate Republicans. I think conservatives are evil and Trump's Hitler. I'll vote for whatever is a D next to it. So what we're seeing here is actually really bad. Like this is just a really bad situation. The Democrats aren't going anywhere. They're just gonna get more radical, correct?
Tim Pool
Yeah, yeah, but hold on. So the most anti Trump demo is 70 plus.
Tate Brown
Yeah. And they die.
Tim Pool
Exactly. So that means even though we have these groups, they're not going to be able to muster up a counter force. Right. When the 70 plus. So this poll came out from Realclair Politics a couple years ago, we talked about it showing that the age group of 70 to 79 was the only anti Trump decade among the age brackets. So there was like 40 to 49 was tied, but every other age group was slightly pro Trump, except for 70 to 79, which was like 10 points minus Trump. It was the one. It was the one group that was carrying it. For the Democrats, when they go, the Republicans are going to get a five point bump.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Then you've got redistricting in 2030 with the census. Then you've got redistricting now. They just did. Yes, there's a bunch of commie mom Dani types that are winning the Democratic Party, but they're not going to have the numbers.
Tate Brown
Yeah, but Trump will be gone by the time they die off. So, like what? Because, like the reason why Trump is hated among 70 to 79 is because those are the people that have the most lived experience. Those are the people that like believe in the system the most. So if you were to poll who hated Obama the most during the Obama era was probably the oldest Republicans. And the youngest Republicans are like, well, you know, there's probably a reason people support him or something. So younger Democrats, although they're voting for the Democrat Party, I think they can understand why people are voting for Trump a lot more than the elderly could. So I think it's just going to be as the boomers die, the whole Trump paradigm kind of dies. And Vance will now be the most hated person, you know, among older Democrats because that's who gets offended the most by any infraction. It's like, these are my last years on earth and you're spending it trying to keep me out of power. That's evil 30. You're like, I don't know, I'll just try to win in 10 years. Like, people have lower time preference, higher time preference.
Tim Pool
The 70, 79 are aging out, they're dying. The younger boomers are slightly more conservative. It's not about Trump. When you talk to your average Trump supporter, it's not about Trump. Don't get me wrong, Trump's got his culty people, but I've interviewed tons of people on the right and I tell you this, I told the story back when I was in Dallas and I had an Uber driver and he was like, yeah, I'm gonna vote for Trump. I just wish you wouldn't talk like that, you know, But I can't vote for a Democrat. So when, when these super anti Trump boomers are gone, it's not even about Trump. People are gonna be more happy to vote for J.D. vance. There's gonna be a ton of people be like, oh, he's great.
Tate Brown
I'm just saying, I just think like, when that comes along, Trump is out of office and those people die. That's when you have this moment where people look back and they're like, actually, Trump was funny. Trump was like, you're gonna see this massive harassment. Nixon or deraile.
Tim Pool
My point is, the DSA is powerless.
Tate Brown
No, the DSA is once they, it doesn't matter. Once they win the Republican or once they seize the Democrat party, there's no going back.
Tim Pool
Yes, but there's not enough of them to win general elections like senators and the president.
Tate Brown
Majority of voters that are voting Democrat aren't like totally bought in on Joe Biden's policy. They're just like, I hate the Republicans. And the same thing with Republicans. Most recent people vote.
Priya Patel
Right.
Tim Pool
And my point is, again, the anti Trump faction is dying off and every, every other demographic leans in favor of Trump. You get rid of Trump, these people are more comfortable voting Republican. My point is, with redistricting, with the census, and with the fact that the only anti Trump age group is dying off, you're gonna be looking at a plus 5 GOP for the next 10 years.
Tate Brown
I don't know. I mean, while it is true that maybe for like hatred of Trump, the older the population, well, it's like Gen X. I think Trump performed the best with like 50 to 59, but older than that. He performed, he won. And then below 50 years old is where he started losing. And then the younger it got, that's when he would lose worse as far as like the last election. And like, let's not pretend that once Trump's gone, Vance gets in. You'll see these articles from the Atlantic. Like, you know, we all got to admit Trump was kind of funny. But then the next article will be why Vance is worse than Hitler. Like, they're just going to spin up the exact same.
Priya Patel
I think it's going to.
Tim Pool
So, so, so, so again, real quick, specifically referring to this, from 2025, oldest voters strongly disprove of Trump. So 18 to 29, Trump is plus 2. 30 to 39, plus 9. 40 to 49 was a tie. 5059 was plus 3. 6069 was plus 5. 70 plus was minus 14.
Tate Brown
Yeah, but this is a year ago. Things have changed a lot.
Tim Pool
Sure, sure, sure. But the point is, the MO like we can look at some anti Trump sentiment is fine. If we shift everything a little bit back when Trump is gone, it's gonna jump way back up.
Tate Brown
Well, I don't think people are to the right of Trump, though. That's why I think they're disapproving him, because they're to the left of him. Like, younger people. Like, younger people are just scandalized.
Tim Pool
Okay, so why did 18 to 29 year olds approve of Trump by plus 2 one year ago?
Tate Brown
Well, it's because the podcasting was huge at the time. Like, there was a lot of high. The vibes around Trump and like, the beginning of his term were super high. People were excited about him. They hate Joe Biden.
Tim Pool
But like, what? For what reason?
Tate Brown
Covid? I think primarily, I think a lot of young people were just scandalized by Covid. The economy was completely seized up because inflation was high.
Tim Pool
And so what changed to where they're now? You would argue they're now anti Trump.
Tate Brown
Well, you saw among young people, his approval rating among young people started, like, declining around the new year, and then now in the summer.
Priya Patel
I actually, I actually think, contrary to what you think, I think it is because a lot of young people are to the right of Trump.
Tate Brown
No, that's not what is the reason the Minnesota ICE raid was when he started to see it slip, and then when Iran kicked off, it just fell off a cliff.
Tim Pool
And then prior to when Trump is gone and it's J.D. vance and J.D. vance comes out and says, counter to these things are these young people who supported Trump when he was anti immigration, anti COVID lockdowns, anti woke up, JD Vance comes in and says, we're gonna do better than Trump. Are they gonna turn and look to the DSA and go, yeah, but we want to trans the Kids?
Tate Brown
Well, it depends. I mean it depends on the state of the economy really. I think the primary reason why young people were swinging to the right was the economy. Because if you look at like polling on certain issues, young people are not like this base right wing generation. Like people think they are. Like they're still to the left of every previous generation. It's the most non white generation in history. So when it comes to like immigration, you might get an answer on illegal immigration, but on identity issues, it's going to be terrible. So what I guess what I'm trying to get at is like young people, it's not this like simmering white right wing revolution like ready to happen. It's like, yeah, you might get like fuel election results if the economy is bad. But JD Vance has a lot of work to do. This is why JD Vance is purposely sort of trying to keep the podcasters on his side. Like, you know your Theo Vons, he's playing, you know, people are like, why is he so soft on Tucker? I'm like, cuz he needs those guys. Those guys are really popular with young people. When he goes into the next primary, he needs to make sure that young people don't hate him. That's who staff your campaign, that's who provides your activist base.
Tim Pool
If the argument is JD Vance will not be principled on his positions and is going to cater to people who don't like what the administration is doing, then we might as well just lay down the sword now and say, okay, the US Is over.
Tate Brown
Well, that's how politics works as a vice president is you have to emphasize the administration's victories and get the downplay of the administration's failures.
Tim Pool
Well, my point is largely just the United States is conquered. If that is the case.
Tate Brown
Well, that's the natural state of democracy, right? Is you always have to put your best foot forward.
Tim Pool
No, no, no, no. Like what I'm saying is when you have people that are catering saying things like Islam's good actually, and then you get a vice president who's like, I'm going to run for office and agree with that. It's like, okay.
Tate Brown
I'm not saying he agrees with that. I'm just saying he's not bringing like the knives out for Tucker because I think he does realize like there's something here salience.
Tim Pool
If JD Vance needs the Islam is okay crowd to win, we're already conquered.
Priya Patel
Correct.
Tate Brown
Well, I agree, I mean I do agree that like that's disheartening, but I, and I don't like Tucker's turn at all. He's breaking my heart every day. But I think people are like into his stuff for different reasons and he just has a lot of inertia. I don't think people are into him because he's pro Islam. I think that's one critique I hear of him.
Tim Pool
New York Times ran this hit piece. It's really funny. Something interesting happened. Forbes ran the top podcasts of 26 and the new York Times ran a. Ran a. The right wing ecosystem is collapsing. And these came out almost the exact same time. I just love the coincidence of it that the top 20 podcasts are largely apolitical except for Tucker. And Candace is excluded from the top podcast, which is just. That's how you know it's just fake.
Priya Patel
Yeah, yeah.
Tim Pool
They're creating an A list of this is the acceptable narrative machine. And then you have the New York Times did the funniest thing ever. Benny Johnson made a hilarious point. The New York Times showed from the end of 24 till today, viewership dropped. And he was like, that's like saying soccer content isn't getting as much views because the World cup ended. Like, yeah, the election was two years ago. We're not in an election cycle anymore. Of course, we had way more views in 2024. But simultaneously, the media is. The New York Times claiming all the right wing media is down in views. It's just not true. And viewership's down. Don't get me wrong, but they're falsely conflating the election cycle. But at the same time, Forbes is also creating this list of top podcasts which excludes all of the top podcasts, which are very political, which are literally in the top charts. Candace Owens being the obvious one, weirdly, like political kind of, but. But like, how is she not in their top list? The numbers are clearly not real. It's narrative control. So the one thing I will bring up that's really interesting is Ben Shapiro is getting, I think, a million view. He gets million views per episode of his podcast.
Tate Brown
Yeah, well, it's syndicated on the radio too. So Ben Shapiro radio is gone. Dude. Radio still is a lot of people listening.
Tim Pool
Nope.
Tate Brown
Oh, dude. Yeah.
Carter Banks
Nope.
Tate Brown
Yeah. In the last five years.
Carter Banks
Nope.
Tate Brown
That's why they're making so much money still.
Tim Pool
They are not.
Tate Brown
Well, not the Daily Wire, but.
Tim Pool
No, nobody's making money on.
Priya Patel
They're really not making money. You see. No, it's dropping left and right from radio.
Tate Brown
It's not saying it's like it used to. I'm just saying it still counts for Viewership.
Tim Pool
No, it doesn't.
Tate Brown
Ben Shapiro.
Tim Pool
Ben Shapiro is not getting radio play.
Tate Brown
Look up what he's getting syndicated on the radio. I'm just saying. I'm just saying numbers.
Tim Pool
So like, when we're, we're talking with our production company and we've gone over this with like the Rumble guys, we've gone over it with a couple of other network radio networks, and we were like, would it make sense to get Tim Cast IRL Syndicate on radio? And they're like, we think we could probably get you maybe like 500 bucks a week.
Tate Brown
There's no money. And I'm not saying there's money. And I'm just saying as far as like raw numbers go, there's not much of half asleep boomers.
Tim Pool
No, no, no, you're wrong. They're talking about the radio on the radio. They said viewership right now for terrestrial radio is in the thousands. You will be lucky to pull in a couple hundred bucks. So when I interviewed Jason Ellis, I don't know if that was on the show on IRL or the interview that's yet to be published, but he said he was on serious for 15 years. I think he said serious, right?
Carter Banks
I think so. I think that's what he said.
Tim Pool
And it was like, it was crazy. He was, he would, he'd be like, hey, I'm doing a live show. They'd sell it because we sold out the House of Blues. Crazy. We're doing six figures. And then when Covet hit, they said nobody listens to the radio anymore. So the show's over. Literally after Covid Radio dropped to like almost nothing. So I was recently talking with a guy who's got a syndicated radio show who I'm not gonna dread. I'm not gonna bring up his personal. This is literally. I'm talking about in the last month, a guy with a syndicated radio show said he had to basically drop it as a priority cuz it's pulling in like a thousand bucks a month. They just don't care anymore. The viewership is gone. When people get into their cars, they're not listening to the radio anymore. They're putting on Pandora, they're putting on Spotify, they're putting on podcasts. Radio is just out.
Priya Patel
I wonder if the reason that it dropped so much during and then after Covid is that during COVID people weren't driving anywhere. So therefore you weren't getting anywhere to turn on the radio.
Tim Pool
That was the serious.
Priya Patel
And then you obviously transitioned to. Yeah, listening to podcasts, listening to other streaming services. And then you just never reverted back to listening to the radio that.
Tate Brown
No dying, so.
Priya Patel
Correct. Yeah.
Tate Brown
Radio.
Tim Pool
Radio has always been captive audience.
FilterMains
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Because people have. People drive and the radio instantly turns on.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tim Pool
But once cars went digital and started incorporating things like Sirius, then terrestrial radio started shifting to, like, subscription radio.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And then again, like, interviewing with Ellis, it was crazy because he said it was like a switch. 15 years he's on this with one of the top radio shows getting millions of viewers. Covid happens and they say, literally, because no one's driving our viewership, our listenership is gone. It's like zero now. And so after Covid, they said people never came back.
Priya Patel
Yeah, makes sense.
Tim Pool
And so he's like, the Ellis show is over. And that's a crazy thing because I was talking about this and I was like, bro, it's crazy that in. In like a month, you went from having one of the biggest radio shows in the world to it just being gone overnight. And he was complaining, too. I don't. Maybe complain's not the right word, but he was like, it's funny because people will hit me up and be like, man, I used to listen to your show all the time. And he's like, it's still there. You could listen to it right now. Like, why did you stop? And it's because. Habit. Yeah. The way people consume me. A change in an instant. There was a no radio, no mo.
Carter Banks
Just what.
Tate Brown
I guess what I was trying to get at is clearly no money in it. And if you're trying to, like, go onto the radio, that's stupid. But guys like Mark Levin, I mean, he's still pulling about 12 million weekly listeners on terrestrial radio. Again, that's people that aren't listening. That's half an hour.
Tim Pool
I don't buy them for a second.
Tate Brown
I mean, it's just data. I mean, it's. It is what it is. I mean, Sean Hannity. You wonder why these guys are still relevant, like Sean Hannity. I guess because of Fox. But like, Mark Levin, who cares? Glenn Beck. Who cares?
Tim Pool
The Sunday night host on Fox.
FilterMains
Yeah.
Tim Pool
He's got, like, the lowest rated slot, to be fair. Maybe, like, even Sunday morning is going to do better than the Westwood One
Tate Brown
prime time slot, which is going to, like, I don't know, probably 300 terrestrial radio stations. It's like you can pull together 12 million Americans again. Are they listening to the show? That doesn't matter. He's just trying to put out numbers because, like, people are listening to this show. I presume so. But radio is a little bit different. But like, even when Rush Limbaugh died, I think he was getting like 20 million. I mean, that was.
Tim Pool
Well, this is the, this is the funny thing about the, the Forbes top podcaster list is that it's, it's actually. Let me, let me pull this up because I think it's actually, I mean, I mean, maybe it's not interesting to you guys, but I find it absolutely fascinating to track this stuff. So check this out. This is Maxim running the story on it. Forbes ranks highest paid podcasters. Joe Rogan, Kelsey Brothers, Alex Cooper, Dax Shepard make the list. So here's a partial list. I'm going to tell you straight up. Joe Rogan doesn't make money. Joe Rogan don't make money. I'm just, I'm just letting the suspense build up for a second. Okay? Joe Rogan had a deal with Spotify announced by the Wall Street Journal that they're going to manage his ads for. I think it was a three year deal at $250 million. Which means if Joe Rogan is getting 82 million, according to a Forbes actual analysis, this means that Joe's making his money off of a license from Spotify, not from the ads. Because if his ad revenue surpassed the 250 guarantee, it would be higher than 82 million. So it being at 82 million, which is less than a third of 250, indicates that Joe Rogan doesn't generate more revenue on his show than Spotify pays. That means the Joe Rogan experience is a loss leader for Spotify to build up its stock and also to establish itself as a podcast platform. I'll also add this for the Jason and Travis Kelsey show, at least on YouTube, a lot of their shows and clips do substantially less than we do. If they make more than I believe
Priya Patel
I was gonna say, I don't think anyone listens to that.
Tim Pool
So again, the $35 million, this is, again, once again, this is loss leader. I would actually go and estimate all of these shows are getting paid as loss leaders, whereas Tim Cast is an independently published company. We have to make more money than we're spending, otherwise we cease to exist. Whereas these shows make less money than they're getting paid. And they exist because people are paying for it.
Tate Brown
Well, and some of these are radio shows they've just converted into podcasts over time, which kind of shows that like, you know, like for example, the Breakfast Club, I think it's like a big black people show and it's like it was on the radio for years and Then there's like, I don't know, turn it to a podcast.
Tim Pool
Well, that's, that's the.
Tate Brown
How else would you describe it?
FilterMains
That's the appropriate black people show.
Tate Brown
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So that's that. That's the trick of how they rank the top podcasts. I'm trying to drag Joe. I believe that Joe Rogan's ad rates the last time I was looking into it is 50 to 100,000 per read. So if you at the start, at the top of the Joe Rogan podcast when he's shouting something out, if you want to shout your products, 50 grand. Jeez, that's, that's my understanding. I could be wrong, but I believe that's the number. And he does like three or four of these.
Priya Patel
Yes. Yeah.
Tim Pool
Now getting $82 million of a $250 three year deal. They're, they're, they're paying him 250 over three years. He's not making. He. His show does not generate more revenue through audience than Spotify pays. And that's true for probably every single one of these.
Tate Brown
The debates back in the day when, you know, when like DJs are first coming onto the scene, you know, like Dead Mouse or Skrillex or these guys and they're like, what do they do when they're performing live? What do they just press play? And it's like the same thing where I think a lot of people are like, what are these podcasters doing? They're just talking and recording it. What is that?
Priya Patel
Actually, no, David, get us ending racism.
Tim Pool
I suppose the ending racist. I suppose the idea is that Spotify might probably in the big picture makes way more than Joe brings in because of paid accounts. So like people sign up for Spotify paying 10 bucks a month or whatever and then from. They don't just listen to Joe Rogan, they'll listen to other Spotify shows. So whereas one person might only be worth 10 cents to an advertiser, that one person listens to three different Spotify podcasts entering 30 cents out of one. Joe's not gonna see that money. Spotify will they pay the minimum guarantee to Joe. But again, the point being all fake. And I'll stress Ben Shapiro's numbers on the podcast side are insane. The New York Times reported this, that Ben's getting like a. He gets like 1.2 million per episode. Some psychotic number.
Tate Brown
This is like, this is what I mean when like people are kind of detached from like how normies think where like you go on Twitter and like, you know, clearly Ben Shapiro is dead in the water or whatever. And it's like, I don't know, man. He's like kind of crushing. Like whether you like it or whether you like his takes or not, they
FilterMains
just don't like Ben Shapiro. And they, this is crazy.
Tim Pool
They're going on YouTube and they're being like, Ben only got 200,000 on his latest podcast episode. And it's because they don't. Podcasts don't publish the numbers.
Tate Brown
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And so then my understanding of Ben's numbers. So the New York Times published analytics for a bunch of different platforms. Apparently they say Candace owens gets about 100,000 downloads per podcast episode, which is microscopic. Like we, that's about what we do on a podcast, Tim, about 100k. So I find that really hard to believe. But it could be why Candace is not on the list of the top podcast. Because while she does really well on YouTube, she does not do that well on the, on the, on the, on the streaming platform.
Tate Brown
Completely different worlds. The people that are just like kind of just trying to keep up with the news on their drive into work and then the people that are like, I wonder like if, if Morocco was involved in this latest.
Tim Pool
Well, here's the thing. A view on Apple is worth Something like 10 times a view on YouTube.
Tate Brown
That makes a lot of sense. Yeah, because you're like an active listener versus like I just need something on during, while I'm eating.
Tim Pool
So I, I, you know, honestly, I don't, I don't agree with that. I don't, I don't see that somebody who's watching a video and they're sitting there watching you do the ad read, that should be more valuable than a podcast listener for whatever reason. But podcasts, like when we look at our numbers, Spotify, Apple and audio based platforms, even though some of them are now video based, the revenue is 10x. It's like the ad reads that we do on the audio side for a tenth of the views are the exact same. It's nuts.
Tate Brown
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So that's why I can see like straight podcast download numbers. Some of this makes sense. But I do know what I will say is, without spilling the beans on anyone's private deal, I actually know a secret about some of these deals. So I won't name anybody. So when you see like someone's bringing in $30 million and Forbes goes, look at the $30 million they're getting paid, oftentimes these are tricks to make lists. What they'll do is a network will have a contract where we're going to pay you $30 million and then you owe us for our distribution of your show. So they pay a flat rate to the podcaster who then has to. Then who gets invoiced for distribution and ends up paying back 25 million of the 30. Then they can publicly announce so and so was signed for a $30 million deal.
Priya Patel
Well, and a lot of the times, because I've talked to people that have similar deals, they'll like, they'll handle everything on the invoicing and the billing. The actual podcaster itself kind of on the back end, but the podcaster will get a very, very minimal salary every month. Does like their payment. And then the idea is that, that they get paid out the remainder of what they might be owed per the deal at the very end of the contract. But a lot of the times I
Tim Pool
just have this question though. For a lot of these guys, you don't see them like, you don't see the lifestyle that should come with what they have. So I'm, I want to explain the average salary. We talked about this last week, but I'll ask you, what do you think the, the salary of the average American millionaire is? How much money salary do they make per year?
Priya Patel
Oh, million. Probably depends on where you're living, but probably somewhere around like 200k.
Tim Pool
It's 160.
Priya Patel
Okay. Yeah.
Tim Pool
And then depending on how you want to break it down, if you want to include like the ultra wealthy millionaires, it goes up like 185.
Priya Patel
Yeah, yeah.
Tim Pool
$160,000 a year is the salary for the average American millionaire. There's about 23 million millionaires there. The average net worth is between 1 and 3 million and they are making 160k. So when you see somebody who's got 24 million per year, that's, that's owning private jet levels of wealth. Why, why aren't these people. I mean, for one, maybe they're keeping it a secret. You know, I imagine that when Joe Rogan comes, went to D.C. for UFC, he's on, he's on a beautiful gulf stream or something. PJ or better than that, homie could probably charter a 747 for $200,000 and not blink.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tim Pool
But a lot of these people, you don't see the, the, the, the lifestyle and maybe it's just they keep it a secret. The question I then have is like, what do you do with that much money?
Priya Patel
Yeah, well. And like, okay, sure, let's just give the benefit of the doubt. Maybe half of them are more Modest, want to keep their life and their lifestyle private. That's being generous. But you sure don't.
Tim Pool
I gotta be honest. If, like, if you're bringing in $20 million a year and it is just going to the podcaster because they're claiming it's the podcasters getting paid, that's how you know it's a scam.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tim Pool
This is my point, bro. A charter flight, round trip, like a private jet, coast to coast is going to cost you between 100 and 200,000, depending on the plane that you get. If you're doing 20 million per year, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to buy a private jet. Yeah, you can get it. You can get a good private jet, like a used one with a pilot. It's going to cost you about a million bucks. One dump, boom, you own it. And then your total costs, you're gonna have to hire a guy. It's gonna cost you maybe like $20,000, 20 to $30,000 per month for your staff, and then it's going to cost you a couple grand per trip. You own the jet with fuel and landing between three. And if you're flying like New York to floor is going to cost you $3,000. New York to LA is going to cost you 10 grand. If you're making $20 million per year, you own a Gulf Stream and you are flying around a private jet whenever you want. You've got private staff, you've got a mansion. I don't think any of these people actually make this money. I think it's all a lie. And for that matter, I'm going to add this to the list because you watch, if you ever watch these high stakes poker games, I'm a big poker guy. Where they're gambling 500 grand. Fake. Ain't no way. I don't believe it for two seconds. I think all these numbers are fake. I'm going to say it again. The average millionaire in the United States has a net worth of one to $3 million and makes $160,000 a year. They're millionaires because they manage their finances very well. There is this idea that people have in their minds that millionaires are making a million bucks a year. That they're like, that they're like, this is not true. Joe Rogan's the only one I think probably makes sense.
Priya Patel
82 million, I would agree with that. And then the call her daddy girl I believe is pro, would probably rightfully Be on that list. The rest of them.
Tim Pool
No, I don't believe that for a second.
Priya Patel
You don't?
Tim Pool
Nope.
Tate Brown
I think she's probably printing.
Tim Pool
Maybe. Maybe because Alex Cooper is. Call her daddy is. I believe it was a three year hundred million dollar license. And so again, her show's probably not making anywhere near 32 million. But they wanted to buy her name.
Priya Patel
Yeah, I don't. I don't. She's probably not making that money. She probably would still be on this hypothetical.
Tim Pool
No, no, she's getting. She basically a network is paying her $30 million a year. $32 million a year. Even though, like someone's buying her name. That's basically what I'm saying.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So like her and Rogan, I do believe makes sense. I think you're right. Charlemagne has a company, so he's probably making a bit less than this. For Alex Cooper, the 32 million, probably most of it goes in her pocket. For Joe Rogan, the 82 million, almost all of it goes in his pocket like the rest of them. I just don't think is. Is legitimate.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tate Brown
Simmons. That he has his own company too. So he's probably making that himself because he has like the biggest sports podcast in the world.
Tim Pool
Maybe if it's independently published for sure. But the other thing to consider too, like what I will say is depending on how you cut the numbers. If we go by raw numbers, then Tim Cast media is bigger than some of these shows in terms of revenue. But we have to pay out lawyers, vendors, staff, facilities, Internet. Like so I'm personally not getting anywhere near that amount of money.
Priya Patel
Yeah, that's all really. It's a shame. It's a shame. Well, I mean, really, you're not making that much.
Tim Pool
As far as far as I know off the. Off what I can see, we make. We get way more views than the Kelsey's.
Priya Patel
Oh, I believe that I. That's a complete psyop.
Tate Brown
Never in my life.
Tim Pool
Like, he's got some. They got some episodes on YouTube with 700K. That's not bad.
Tate Brown
Another world out there that I don't even. I try to be active, like the blind spots. I'm like, maybe people are listening to radio. I don't know who is like, are
Tim Pool
people really listening to Amy Poehler?
Priya Patel
No.
Tate Brown
Is she the girl from Parks and Rec?
Carter Banks
Yeah.
Tate Brown
Snl.
Carter Banks
Yeah.
Tate Brown
It's not so Quirk Chungus kind of thing.
Tim Pool
I mean, maybe this. Because this is like replaced radio. You know what I mean?
Tate Brown
Yeah. I mean there is a lot of people that are like basically Lobotoma.
Tim Pool
Here's the question. What. Like here's what, here's what I'll do when I get in my Tesla. I just. My phone auto connects and then just plays my, my, like Spotify or whatever playlist plays music. So it's basically playing, I don't know, like Soundgarden, old man music from the 90s. But what I'll do is I'll click podcast and see what comes up. Well, this is because we're on there for sure.
Tate Brown
Well, this was always the theory for the longest time of why like some advertisers were skeptical of YouTube was because of the autoplay. Like, people are like, oh, a lot of these videos are getting padded views from the autoplay because it'll be like a video essay. It's like 40 minutes long right in the sweet spot. So of course YouTube's going to promote it. But then you like miniature. This sucks. Like I don't care about whatever this, you know, video game is covering or whatever. But it's like, yeah, that was the theory for the longest time is that sweet spot videos were just getting hit with autoplay, like padding their views.
Tim Pool
So this is interesting. Sayed side dropping a little bit. Stevens is closing the ranks. This is really interesting. A bunch of districts are starting to flip closer to Stevens, which is really surprising. Look, I'm not a big fan of the guy's politics. I think he's. I think he's lying about being, you know, socialist, whatever. But I thought the guy like had way more charisma than Stevens. But we'll see. It's not over yet. But with 17% of the votes in, Stevens is down only 20K and, and it's, it's closing, it's closing the gap.

Interesting, I know.
Tate Brown
Yes. Steven's. Her pathway to victory is basically just Oakland county, which is like very suburban still. Your kind of union Democrats. And she needs the black vote and the black vote's probably going to swing to her. So that's kind of, you know, I'd
Tim Pool
be curious to see how do I find this? I want to find the. Let's do Democrat primary. They got the Minnesota, Minnesota Senate oh, margin of victory. No, we don't want that. Let me try and find this one. Did I say Minnesota? Yeah, Michigan.
Tate Brown
It is interesting how they had him tanking now from winning by over 15%.
Tim Pool
Exactly. So this is what. Right. So I actually think Stevens might take it. And this is where it's interesting because if you check Kelsey, they got Syed at 99.4. Here's what's crazy. He was actually 99.9 for a second. Now it's dropping, bro. Value bet. Value bet.
Priya Patel
Go bet now. No kidding.

Tim Pool
$1 will pay out 116.
Tate Brown
You know what? I'll check. You know what? I'll bite. What's a bet?
Tim Pool
A dollar.
Priya Patel
A dollar do 20.
Tate Brown
Don't notify me. I want to forget about this 20.
Priya Patel
I want to forget about it. I'm going to treat it like your, your stocks.
Tim Pool
There you go.
Tate Brown
I have in my couch. Oh, I got five cents to play around with.
FilterMains
There you go. Yeah, I need to get a Couchy account.
Tim Pool
Ah, she's slipping. She's gonna lose.
Tate Brown
It's over.
Tim Pool
She's now, she's, she's trailing now by 21 where she was trailing by 20 just before. So. And she's starting to lose Detroit. So this guy, this guy's gonna win. Let me, I want to pull up this video actually so I could get
Tate Brown
$7 on my 5% bet. 5, 5 cent bet.
Priya Patel
Do you see it's best moments?
Tim Pool
No. Well, I want to pull this one up because I, I, that's why I get mad at Republicans. So we've got this video and it says from RNC research. Michigan Senate candidate Abdul Al said every third video on his Instagram timeline is an only fans model and blames the algorithm. The thing is, I actually look at Instagram. I look at on Instagram, right. Every third video that scrolls down is going to be some only fans model haram. So let me, let me play this like you think about if you're on Instagram. My team has, has access to my Instagram account and like the things that I actually look at on Instagram. Right.
Carter Banks
Of course.
Tim Pool
We get served that on your for you page. But then, like, every third video that scrolls on its own is going to be some OnlyFans model. And it's because it clocked me as being a 40 some year old man
Tate Brown
like you think about.
Tim Pool
So he's getting ragged on now by conservatives because they're trying to insinuate that it's because he's looking at OnlyFans models. But this is. This is not correct. And I'm like, why, why are you ragging on him for pointing out something that he's right about? Don't. Don't give them out. He's correct and he's complaining about only fans. So, like, you're gonna go now as conservatives and be like, he's complaining about only fans models. Maybe you should look at him. It's like, well, I'm also gonna complain about OnlyFans models on Instagram, I guess. I don't know. Here's the thing. It is not correct when people are like, you do realize that Instagram is just showing you what you want to see? No, because it shows me ping pong videos. I have never in my life played, watched, or even understood ping pong. And it just spams them to me. And I don't watch them. I don't sit there and stare at them. I scroll right past them and they keep popping up. The worst thing now is that Instagram has been. Has been sending me dead children videos, which is the. One of the most shockingly offensive things they could do. Dude, you put up a video of a guy and it's the World Series of Poker. And then you got the British guy being like, oh, Mike, he's going all in. I'm watching the full thing. Show me a Snowboarder doing a 1260 flying. I watch the full thing. Show me a video where I was like, my child is dead. I scroll past it. They keep sending me these videos and it's freaking me out and pissing me off. They did to my wife too. And she came to me freaking out like, instagram won't stop sending me dead kid videos. Why are they doing this? And I'm like, let's go full conspiracy. They want to freak parents out and make them not have kids. Is that the idea? They want people, they want young people or people considering having families to watch videos where parents are like, my child is dead and I'm miserable. So they go, I don't want to do this. I couldn't imagine living that way. All I know is after a certain amount, I started Hitting this makes me uncomfortable. Stop sending it to me. And it still sends them.
Priya Patel
That's so strange. I have heard from people that really know the social media algorithms well that Meta is one of the worst algorithms as far as actually being tailored to you. And, and TikTok is one of the best. So I mean, it would make sense that people that are rejecting certain types of media probably would get fed up
Tate Brown
because the ping pong could just be like, well, he's Asian. Just send the ping pong.
Tim Pool
And there actually are a lot of Asians playing ping pong.
Tate Brown
Yeah, that's true.
Tim Pool
I think what it may be is that Meta wants to experiment by sending content to you to see how you react to things that you may not normally look at.
Priya Patel
Yeah, I agree with that. But it's so interesting that you continuously, for long periods of time, still get sent it despite the fact that you don't interact with it or you report it or say that you don't want it to continuously be fed to you.
FilterMains
Can you block from the scrolling thing?
Tim Pool
Can you what?
Priya Patel
I would imagine so.
Tim Pool
I block. I block accounts like crazy. If I get. If I'm. If I'm scrolling Instagram and I see tonight Vs into the crowd, I block the account instantly. And then I say, stop sending me this.
Priya Patel
Yeah, but it's just so interesting that like you a. Either don't react with it, don't react with it, or you block it and it still sends it to you. Because wouldn't that hurt meta's ad revenue and everything with the lack of retention on the videos and whatnot? That just makes no sense to me why they would continuously do that. There has to be some sort of.
Tim Pool
You know, I'm sick of all the AI stuff too, man.
FilterMains
I don't.
Priya Patel
I AI slop is out of control.
FilterMains
I don't see that kind of like, that stuff just doesn't pop up.
Priya Patel
I see it on X, I don't see it on Instagram.
FilterMains
AI slob.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
FilterMains
Or porn.
Priya Patel
And. Well, I don't see porn.
FilterMains
Well, I mean like the, the only fans, models and stuff.
Priya Patel
No, I don't.
Tim Pool
Hey, hold on. I got a question for you guys. Are you getting spammed with the. Can you reverse the rotation videos?
Carter Banks
No.
Priya Patel
Like the game video thing?
Tim Pool
No, it's a. It's a picture of. Of like it'll be like a square spinning and then it'll say, can you reverse the rotation in your mind?
FilterMains
I've seen those. But I don't get spammed because I
Tim Pool
saw a post on Reddit where someone was like, this one's really cool. And there, there are these illusions that originated a long time ago. You've ever seen the silhouette of the ballerina?
Carter Banks
Yep.
Tim Pool
And so now there's a whole bunch of kind of like this where if you concentrate, you can flip the image and it'll spin one way or the other.
Priya Patel
Oh, okay.
Tim Pool
And these are getting spammed in my feed all the time now. And so I went to one and the comments were like that millions of views. And someone was like, what are they training us for? It's very weird that people are getting blasted this content. I think it's probably just though because you stare at the screen trying to flip it your mind.
Tate Brown
Conspiracy.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tate Brown
Trying to make us smarter. I knew it.
Tim Pool
I don't know.
Tate Brown
That's like. I'll say. I think I was saying on the show the other day was like when chess was getting really big and then there was. People are like, this is clearly a psyop. I'm like, like, what's the scop? Like, make your pattern recognition skills better. The government's helping you now. That's like the, the conspiracy. They're like on our side now since
Tim Pool
it's 1990 and you're at Toys R Us to go buy some Christmas presents. These videos are going crazy. The 90s, nostalgia, depression, the arrested development dude, I'm telling you, man, like my, my idea for the hotel. The hotel where you have about this last time. Yeah, it's like a two bedroom. There's like five two bedroom apartments and they're all different decades. So you can go live in the 90s and you can wake up in the bedroom. The only problem is like some dude's going to off himself in there.
Tate Brown
Yeah, that's kind of like that's me every week. It was a. Scott Greer made a good point where he was like contrasting like America to England in this instance. He's like, Mary, old England means something. It means like pre industrial England. That's what you think of the nice lush countryside. But Mary old America just changes every 30 years to like what it was 30 years ago. So he's like, in the 80s, he glamorized the 50s, now it's the 90s. He's like, in 20 years people are gonna be like, man, the early 2010, that was the best.
Tim Pool
I was, I was like, Sunday night I saw my wife like, you want to watch a movie? And she's like, sure. And then I'm like scrolling Amazon and Back to the Future was there. Back to Future Two. And I said, do you want to watch a movie about a guy who goes to the future year of 2015? She's like, no way. Was that the year? Yes, it was 2015.
Priya Patel
Wow.
Tim Pool
At hoverboards. And they had clothes that could like automatically.
Tate Brown
What was the original Blade Runner? Wasn't it like 2019 or something?
FilterMains
I'm not sure. I think it was.
Tim Pool
And they really overestimated our technical prowess.
Tate Brown
Yeah, they were like, the Japanese are gonna take everything over. I'm like, well, they can't even keep their currency afloat.
Tim Pool
The funny thing is we're farther away from Back to the Future than Back to the Future was from where Fly went. He went from 1985 to 1955
FilterMains
was set in 2019.
Tim Pool
It was 2019.
FilterMains
Blade Runner.
Tate Brown
Yeah, that was.
Tim Pool
Oh, Blade Runner.
Tate Brown
What happened? Nothing really too exciting.
Priya Patel
What year was Covid? Oh, my gosh. Why am I gonna blank on the name now? Steven Spielberg.
Tim Pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Back to the feature follows Marty McFly traveling from 1985 to 2015.
FilterMains
Yep.
Tate Brown
Wow.
Tim Pool
2015.
Tate Brown
And then now we think of the future. It's just gonna be like dystopia, most likely.
Tim Pool
Well, actually, Family Guy did it really well. Stewie time travels to the future to meet his 30 year old future self and everything's the same. And he's like, where the flying cars, like where's technology is like, it's only been 30 years.
Priya Patel
Relax.
Tate Brown
Just be more vape shops. When I think about the.
Tim Pool
Nah, nah, nah. Like Zins.
Tate Brown
Yeah, there's me. Like something else people will get hooked on, but it's like going to be broadly the same, I think.
Tim Pool
I don't. I actually disagree. And I disagree for this reason. We've got this clip of. Of Elon Musk that I will play for you now and tell you why the future is about to get absolutely insane. In the next six to 12 months, we'll be doing our first implants for
Tate Brown
vision, where even if somebody's completely blind, we can write directly to the.
Tim Pool
The visual cortex.
Tate Brown
But long term, you would have very
Tim Pool
high resolution and be able to see in multispectral wavelengths.
Tate Brown
You could see an infrared ultraviolet radar. It's like a superpower situation.
FilterMains
And then do you know how much.
Tim Pool
Now the superpower situation thing is crazy. Okay. But you know what really blew my mind? It says right to the visual cortex. What Elon Musk has just announced is that they already have the technology to write information into your brain.
Priya Patel
Into your brain.
Tim Pool
Well, this means that, that we've talked about the neural band and this is a hypothetical piece of technology where they don't need to perform surgery on you to be able to write to your brain. That's advanced. Right? Now what they do with neuralink is they give you an implant that puts like electrodes onto your brain and then writes to it. This is crazy. We've had read technology for a long time. That is Elon and Neuralink have hooked up these electrodes to pig brains and then read the data off the brain. And then they've been able to track things like blood pressure and stuff like that. But you don't even need to get someone's brain for that because you can just like strap a light to their, you know, ankle or whatever. Right? Technology is where you get. It gets scary because this is where they can give you experiences, they can give you memories. This is where if they. If you get the implant and they plug a thing in your brain, they can make you experience snowboarding and Aspen.
FilterMains
Total recall.
Priya Patel
Yep, easy.
Tim Pool
And where it gets really crazy is if they can figure out how to write to the brain wirelessly. That's when every human adopts technology. Now, that being said, I think we're in the next 10 years, Neuralink, video games implants will be substantially more ubiquitous. And I'm gonna tell you this right now, man, every liberal is gonna be like, give me the implants that in two seconds.
FilterMains
He's talking about, you know, infrared and. And night vision and stuff goes to the shell stuff, how much money I spent on my night vision. And now they're talking about, you know, a plug in, man.
Tate Brown
Everyone's like, oh, you gotta go see the Odyssey and imax. I can just watch it here.
Tim Pool
Dude, think about. Yeah, think about how much liberals don't like being themselves.
FilterMains
Right?
Tate Brown
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And now you can say, listen, you get the surgery and then you can plug something into your brain and it will make you experience the world as if you were a different body. Or you can just go into a virtual reality and be in a different body and experience touch, smell, see and hear as if you are in reality.
FilterMains
All you do is you get plugged in and it makes you not an insufferable wine.
Priya Patel
I think it's gonna be like a ready player one in real life situation.
Tim Pool
Yeah, but even ready player one was just feedback goggles.
Priya Patel
But it would be like the same lifestyle idea. We probably would fall into like this weird dis dystopia when everyone's just living in this virtual reality.
Tim Pool
Bro, you're gonna.
Tate Brown
I just want to be Chinese for like 15 minutes.
Priya Patel
Are you really in China? You're in a really Chinese time of your life right now.
Tate Brown
Yeah, I'm just like. I don't know.
Tim Pool
You just like, yeah, but you know what's gonna happen?
Tate Brown
The hats on. You know, chill with everyone.
Tim Pool
What's gonna happen is you're gonna get the. You're gonna get the brand new neural link, and you're like, this is awesome. Like, I just wanted to be Chinese for, like, 15 minutes. You're gonna put it on, and then you're gonna teleport, and you're gonna be, like, holding a walk, and you're gonna be like. Like, this is. This is great. And then you're gonna look in the mirror, and you're gonna be this, like, total stereotypical Chinese guy and be like, I re. I write this so much. And then all of a sudden, you're gonna feel a sharp pain in the side of your head, and then you're gonna be like, oh, what was this? Disengage VR. I say, disengage VR. What happened? And then you're trapped. And then it turns out Elon locked everybody in the Norlink, and now everybody's trapped, and you're like, no, I don't want to be Chinese. Logan in 15 minutes. And it's forever.
Tate Brown
Everyone's just like, giga Chads, and I'm just Chinese.
Tim Pool
I just want to stress. I hope that that was the longest I've done the offensive Asian accent, but I'm allowed to do it. And the funny thing is, like, Shane Gillis. Isn't that what he got fired for? Probably for doing some, like, me talk, a record dish or whatever? Yeah, the funny thing is, like, no one's ever attacked me for it because I'm Asian.
Priya Patel
You know, it was more of, like, a Yoda impression.
Tim Pool
His was the last one, but you just wrecked this.
FilterMains
Yeah, she doesn't know.
Tate Brown
Like, you go in, and you're just like. You're just like, chopp like a pant. You got, like, a panda old.
FilterMains
I know.
Priya Patel
Jar Jar Banks. That's what I was thinking.
FilterMains
Oh, there we go.
Tim Pool
You're a carrot.
Tate Brown
You get the squat down and smoke, and, like, no one judges. Like, that's the bet. Like, I do it for 15 minutes, and I'd be like.
Tim Pool
And then, like, 20 years later, like, your body is just decayed, like, bones and rot. But your brain was uploaded, and now you've just been this Chinese guy for, like, you're an immortal Chinese guy in the. In the server, and you're walking out this panda Next to you just like.
Tate Brown
Yeah, just snapping together iPads all day.
Tim Pool
Looting. I was going to say you had a sword and you were just killing people. And they're digital, so they're just. They respawn.
Tate Brown
But I want to see like the suicide nets, like, bounce you back in.
FilterMains
You're going to end up in like 1964 China, bro.
Tim Pool
Yeah, craziest thing that's going to happen to you is you're going to be like, I'll play Minecraft with my boys. You know, like, you'll put on the Neuralink and you'll be like, in Minecraft, but you'll be you, you'll be like, normal. And then you're like, all of a sudden you'll see like this carrot walk up to you like a carrot with arms and legs. And you're gonna be like, what?
Tate Brown
Hello?
Tim Pool
And it's gonna be like, tate, it's me, John. I don't know how to tell you this, but I've always been a carrot. I just couldn't express myself. Do you accept me for who I am?
FilterMains
Personally, I'm gonna be very bigoted towards Blockhead Tate. I'm letting you know right now if you go into the Minecraft world.
Tate Brown
No, no, no, it's bad. In that server that I was playing on, swastika was like everywhere. Like, I saw, I think you had just walked in and I saw one. I was like,
Priya Patel
I walked up and he's playing Minecraft. I was like, all right, yeah, I didn't catch the swastika.
Tim Pool
She walked in and Tate was drawing
Tate Brown
the swastika like, I'm Hindu now.
FilterMains
You didn't know if she had because she tossed a Roman out backwards.
Priya Patel
Actually, it's the same way around, but.
Tate Brown
But yeah, I'm just like, it's that two week Minecraft phase. I'm trying to soak in every moment for like, you don't touch it for another two years.
Tim Pool
But my point with the Neuralink stuff is that if you think the trans stuff right now is going too far, wait till you get Neuralink. There's going to be a guy who's going to like you and your, your buddy's going to walk up to you and be like, tay, don't tell you this, but I've always identified as a potato and I'm going to live in Neuralink full time now as a potato, so I can be my true self.
Priya Patel
Well, but that would be crazy because, like, they could essentially just rewrite their previous memories, right? So, like, they could have, they could just Just be like, you know what? I was a girl all along. Press a button. Then you just rewrite your entire child.
Tim Pool
It's going to be crazier than that. I mean, like, think about what they're going to do with, with, with, with prisons. Here's. I got a question for you guys. We can give someone the death penalty or we can totally rewrite their brain to make them a good God fearing Christian who just wants to go work on work, go to work and go to church.
FilterMains
Well, I mean, ostensibly, if, if you can rewrite their, their personality.
Tim Pool
Yep.
FilterMains
Then I guess zero, the moral thing to do would be to rewrite their personal zero recidivism.
Tim Pool
They just. The guy's going like, no, you can't do this. And they plug into his brain and he gets. It's. It's not the death penalty, it's the purge penalty. And then they're like uploading the new personality. No, you sons of.
FilterMains
Oh, you know, if I was.
Tim Pool
Sorry about that.
FilterMains
If I was.
Tim Pool
Can't believe I used that language.
FilterMains
If I was Ian Cross and I'd say, well, you know, you're kind of killing the old guy, but you're birthing.
Priya Patel
I was going to make an argument.
FilterMains
Yeah. Like, you know.
Tim Pool
Wait, wait, wait, hold on. You get like some MS.13 gang banger and he like killed a bunch of people and he's like, f you. You can't do this to me. And they're like, upload the program and then the executioner, the purge guy goes, oh no, I put in the wrong program. All I did was make him Chinese. I didn't actually rewrite his personality. So then he's just still an MS.13 gang member, but he talk a racket. This.
FilterMains
From now on, nobody takes him seriously. You know, he's still a murderer. So he goes on a spree because no one actually do is like, you
Tim Pool
get like a Chicago gang banger and you're like, you've been sentenced to get gender dysphoria. They give. They don't actually like, they rewrite your brain. So you just have. So you just. You have dysphoria now and you're just miserable.
FilterMains
My dick.
Tate Brown
You do not want to be if you're the first one to follow. Fall asleep at the sleepover and your boys give you gender dysphoria.
Tim Pool
You be cooked. You wake up.
Tate Brown
I got a.
Tim Pool
You fell asleep with your shoes on.
Tate Brown
That's what it.
Tim Pool
That's, that's the rule. If you fall asleep with your shoes on.
Carter Banks
Oh yeah.
Tate Brown
No, dude.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tate Brown
You do not want to be. First guy falling asleep. You wake up, you're Chinese, you're trans.
Tim Pool
And then you're like, uninstall this. I don't want to be trans. And they're like, bro, I don't know how to uninstall it.
Tate Brown
Yeah, dude.
Tim Pool
Like, all we. All we know how to do is upload. We're not that drunk.
Tate Brown
We, like, shoved a Dorito in the USB ports. You're stuck like that.
Priya Patel
You're. I don't know that that would be the more moral thing to do, because then you do snatch away all free will, basically.
FilterMains
Well, they're not very responsible with that free will.
Priya Patel
I'm. I'm well aware. But then they should penalize the actual actions of their free will.
Tim Pool
Like, some dude gets into a fight with his wife, and then she's like, I've had enough of this. I want a divorce. And he, like, pins her down, and then he, like, sticks the USB into her head. She's like, stop, Stop. And he's like, delete. Past 24 hours. It's like, what's happening? You fell, honey. You bunked your head.
Priya Patel
That's a new factory. New version of Stockholm syndrome.
Tim Pool
This is like Ghost in the Shell. In the. In the anime, in the future, people have cyberized their brains, and they're wireless. They have wireless communications now. And so there are people who can hack your brain and make you see things.
Priya Patel
Terrifying. Two different people. That's annoying. That's terrifying.
Tim Pool
So it's really cool. In the Ghost in the Shell standalone complex, there's a criminal they're looking for called the Laughing Man. And when they go to witness, and they're like, can you please tell us what he looked like? Can you? And they're like, I. I can't. I can't remember. And they're like, draw us a picture. And they draw this weird, like, smiley face with a Salinger quote around it. And they're just like, that's. That's what he looked like. And they're like, that's not a person. And they're like, what? I don't know. He just hacks their brains.
Tate Brown
Dude, I keep getting hacked if you have these, like, gay thoughts. So weird.
Tim Pool
Well, here's the crazy thing. What if you're, like, walking down the street and then some dude hacks you to be gay?
Tate Brown
Yeah, that'd be crazy. Yeah, the hack. Yeah, that'd be nuts.
Priya Patel
Well, then.
Tim Pool
Oh, the hack.
FilterMains
That.
Tim Pool
That's why.
Tate Brown
Neural link.
Tim Pool
Honey, honey, don't know I was hacked.
Tate Brown
No, you saw The Elon video dude, they're like hacking people.
Carter Banks
It's cr.
Tate Brown
Do AI is crazy.
Priya Patel
But then you could rewrite your brain to no Kung Fu as well.
Tim Pool
To be not trans. See, that's the cure. When you get people who are like dysphoric, you can be like, we can just erase it. You know, they're going to say, they're
Priya Patel
going to say, no, that's exactly right.
Tate Brown
Like the pro fat people. And then a zic drop and they're like, oh, actually, like, I'm just going to cut weight.
Priya Patel
Yeah, it could be. It's just going to take, it's going to take a handful of celebrities to just be like, no, I'm not trans anymore. I rewrote my brain to be normal, straight.
Tim Pool
I, I think it's going to get, it's going to get wild because people are going to like video games in the future are going to be like, like Roy and Rick and Morty. You guys see that? So they go to an arcade and Morty puts on the helmet and then it makes him a human named Roy. And he lives a full life as this guy who like, he's the football star. And then he, and then to him, he experiences 70 years. Everyone, everyone around him is just watching him play an arcade game. And then he's like zonked out. And then he comes out and he's like, I'm. Where's my wife? I'm Morty. Hey, wait a minute. So it's like, what's gonna happen is, what's really gonna happen is that Tate, you're gonna wake up on your couch and you're actually like a 70 year old fat black woman playing Tate. And it's a video game where you play as Tate Brown.
Priya Patel
How much time actually goes by in the real world then? If you've lived 17 minutes. Yeah.
Carter Banks
Okay, you guys ever seen that channel? It's like lad Bible. But like, like they do interviews with people. This one guy like was in a coma, had like twin daughters in this coma. He thought he was in there for like a long time that he woke up and he didn't have kids.
Tim Pool
Oh yeah.
Carter Banks
Like seriously, it's wild.
Tim Pool
There's a bunch of stories like that. Actually there was one story where a guy smoked a bunch of salvia.
Tate Brown
Those guys deserve it. Those guys deserved it.
Tim Pool
The drug. And then he zonked out. And then when he came to, like, he came like, he was like, like, where's my family? And he claimed he had lived 40 years and he had like three kids and a wife.
Tate Brown
I think all those stories are like, bs. So the guy's like, oh, I lived a whole lifetime as a lamp. It's like, okay. Yeah. I'm like, that's what people say this. Yeah, people. Oh, I was a ceiling fan for 30 years. I'm like, these are real stories, you see? And it's like, oh, I saw a guy sit on a podcast. So it's true. I'm like, dude, you deserve. Whatever thing bad happens to you while you're on salvia, you deserve that.
Tim Pool
The government doing drugs.
Tate Brown
No. Straight edge. Bring it back.
Priya Patel
You deserve.
Tim Pool
In. In the future, you're gonna get podcasts that intentionally tell you stupid things that you harm yourself to just get you out of the gene pool. Like, that's the real fascist state.
Tate Brown
They're like, that's the red pill.
Tim Pool
The podcast is like, eating paint is actually good. Don't eat paint, guys. Yeah, but then stupid people are like, wow. Like, candidate. If Candace Owens came out and told people to drink a gallon of paint, they would.
Carter Banks
Yep.
FilterMains
It's crazy how her fans are.
Tate Brown
That'd be so funny.
Tim Pool
I'm actually really jealous. I'm really jealous of Candace Owens because she claims she has superpowers. And I would much rather do a show where we just lived in a. In a fake world where we all pretended to have superpowers.
Priya Patel
You should do that for.
Tim Pool
I would be like, tate, I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10. I'm going to transmit that number into your mind right now. I want you to say that number 69. That's correct. It was actually. What's remarkable is I said it was 1 through 10, but I tricked you because it was actually 69 to prove that I actually transmitted to his mind and he said the number. So to everybody listening, this proves that I am psychic.
Tate Brown
Serial numbers are gone. There's 15 different countries collaborated. It's crazy.
Tim Pool
Could you imagine just how fun that would be to just be a lot, Have a dedicated audience who genuinely thinks that you can astral project and that Charlie Kirk had electromagnetic powers. Guys, you know how much she claims. Oh, guys. She has claimed on numerous occasions that Charlie Kirk had electromagnetic powers.
Carter Banks
Yeah. She's rewriting in real time.
Tate Brown
We'd be moving pool water like it's nothing. We'd be, like, by the truckload every day.
Tim Pool
I. I knew Charlie, and as far as I could tell, he did not have electromagnetic powers. But, you know, I don't take away the magic from you guys, so let's just say he did. So ridiculous that's amazing. And her fans are like, yes. It's so wild.
FilterMains
They eat it up.
Tim Pool
I think, you know, maybe we just gotta roll with it. Like, oh, you know, now when I know someone's lying, I'll just make up a reason why I know they're lying. You're like, oh, what was it Krasnstein said we should ban assault rifles because a guy had an AR15. I'm gonna read his.
Priya Patel
Yep.
Tim Pool
Oh, nope. He's in his mind. I'm hearing his thoughts. He's saying, I know I'm intentionally lying and I'm trying to steal political power.
FilterMains
Wow, that is legitimately a bit you should do on one of the shows, like, every day. The 4 o' clock show is Tim Reed's Guards mind.
Priya Patel
I think you should.
Tim Pool
Should I. Should I do this on the next debate with a liberal that I do say that I'm just gonna be like, well, I have psychic powers. I'm gonna read your mind. Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's inappropriate. Oh, you admitted you were lying in your mind. Yeah, that proves it.
FilterMains
And then be. You're also gay. And.
Priya Patel

Yeah, but to be fair, the liberal. Most liberals are gonna be like, well, the last part was true.
FilterMains
Yeah. So.
Priya Patel
Well, then you can flip it on their. On your head and just say you're actually a raging homophobic.
Tim Pool
I'm reading your mind. And I'm gonna read Tate's mind. Right now, Tate is imagining he is eating a. A Dorito Locos taco.
Tate Brown
It actually was, like, 20 minutes ago. That'd be a great show. Instead of like, that's so Raven. It's. That's so gay men. And it's just you calling people gay by, like, being a soothsayer. You're like, yeah, you're gay every episode. Nobody.
Tim Pool
Dumb show. That's so Raven. Like, she just, like, randomly saw the future. Is that what it was?
Tate Brown
It was a pretty good show. That was the crux of it was
Tim Pool
she was a second black woman.
Priya Patel
She's black. And all of her friends.
Tim Pool
Who was that lady in the 90s? You know, I'm talking about the black lady from the. Yeah, the black psychic lady on tv.
Tate Brown
Oh, the black lady from the.

Oh, Miss Cleo. Yes.

How did you. Yo, where is she?

No, no, I was gonna say black woman, 90s. Oprah.

Ms. Cleo.

Dude, didn't see that coming.

1900 numbers.
Tate Brown
You call could have used this.
Tim Pool
I swear, the commercials.
Priya Patel
I know you did.
Carter Banks
Yeah.
Tim Pool
You know what you do? You know. You know what I would do if I was, like, as unabashed and had an audience as dumb as Candace's? I would just be like, I am. I have psychic powers. And. And I've never revealed this to anyone, but the reason I am able to run this business and have the insights that I do is because I can actually control people's minds and see the future. So, John, and you're watching me right now. John, I'm talking to you. You live in Chicago. You need to go to Timcast.com and sign up right now for 10 bucks a month. Join us. I'm talking to you, John. Just to you. And now there's some guy named John in Chicago being like, what's happening, dude? He's. That's me. I'm John. I'm in Chicago. And then I just got, like, 16 new members to sign up.
Priya Patel
Exactly.
Tate Brown
You wore jeans last week. You've worn Nikes.
Tim Pool
John, don't worry about the money. Don't worry about the money.
Priya Patel
Come back to you.
Tim Pool
It's all going to work itself out. There's a really great bit from Penn and Teller where he's like, I'm thinking of a number between one and a million. And he goes like this. All right, everybody watching? Everybody watching right now. I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100,000. Okay? I want you to think of that number that I have chosen in my mind. And I'm going to say it in a minute, but I really want you to focus. I want you to write it down so you know for sure, because this is going to blow your mind. You ready? 66,324. Now, most people watching the show are like, I didn't pick that number. But there's like, one or two guys out there going like, holy crap, what just happened? And that was the bit. It was like, a lot of what people do on TV and a lot of the way this fake psychic stuff works is just to play the odds. And if your goal is to just get a handful of people to give you money. There you go.
Priya Patel
That's fair. Kenna should go full Ms. Cleo and just be like, I do have.
Tim Pool
Oh, man. Is that what she's doing? Look, she kind of does look like Ms. Cleo, doesn't she?
Priya Patel
That's racist.
Tim Pool
No, like, I'm not saying that all black people look Alike. I'm saying she kind of looks like Candace.
Priya Patel
They do? Yeah.
Tim Pool
She also kind of looks like the Jenny Jones.
Priya Patel
If we. If we dress her the same. Yeah, or if she dressed the same. That sounded like I was gonna dress her up. I'm not gonna dress her up. She can dress herself. She's an adult woman.
FilterMains
Ms. Cleo.
Tim Pool
Oh, that's sad. She's out of cancer. Rest in peace. I don't know. I don't know much about her other than she had a bunch of commercials in the 90s and everybody knew Ms. Cleo.
Tate Brown
She passed away. Candace. Like I'll take it from here. I got you.
Tim Pool
She was a phone TV psychic at the Watch.
Priya Patel
All in tv. What did she fall for the cancer or something else?
Tate Brown
She what?
FilterMains
What'd she. What?
Priya Patel
What did it say? She was a fallen tv.
Tim Pool
What? No, she was in tv.
Priya Patel
That's what I was like. What happened?
Tim Pool
Yeah, she went to the dark side and used her powers for evil.
Tate Brown
Yeah, we lost her. She was doing a tour.
FilterMains
Sounds like Candace falls in the dark side.
Tim Pool
Fallen from 97 to 2003. She used various. Various aliases. Re Paris, Yuri, Cleomele.
Tate Brown
I don't know this lady probably. I'm gonna just be honest here. This lady probably took a lot of good people's money from this. She's probably a really bad person.
FilterMains
Yeah.
Tate Brown
I don't wanna if you're a Miss Cleopa. But she probably took a lot of people's money generally literally.
Tim Pool
I think anyone that from a real psychic. Try us right now.
Tate Brown
This is a bad person. I'm sorry.
Tim Pool
At a young age. Did he not Right? Did you get strep throat a great deal in your late teen years? Yes, I did.
Tate Brown
Okay.
Tim Pool
His eyes are almost spooky. They're so pretty. That would be my ex boyfriend. The five of swords is next to him. And that means that he is away.
FilterMains
Yep.
Tim Pool
Did you think Cleo wasn't gonna see that?
FilterMains
Oh, I knew you were.
Priya Patel
Okay.
Tate Brown
This is Candace. Owen.
Tim Pool
This is the candace. Probably about £240.
Priya Patel
Right? Right.
Tim Pool
He is married to that one too. And him fool around even more than the other one does. He doesn't even live in the same area anymore.
FilterMains
He moved, didn't he?
Priya Patel
Oh my God. Yeah.
Tate Brown
It's like right there. This is a bit.
Tim Pool
She was born in La itra.
FilterMains
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Okay. But she was raised in a Catholic Afro Caribbean family. I'm sorry though but like when you. When you grow up in Alhambra, California, you don't talk like this. You know what I mean, you have these days.
Tate Brown
You might.
Tim Pool
That's true.
Priya Patel
Yeah. I mean, I had to retrain myself from speaking like that, but yeah, because
Tim Pool
you're from SoCal and everyone around you
Priya Patel
actually from Northern California. But yeah. Well, for the purposes of this, I'll talk like that.
FilterMains
We're in Northern California.
Tim Pool
Oh, Northern California.
Tate Brown
My Afro Caribbean accent got me picked on so much.
Priya Patel
Should we call Ms. Cleo's number, see if it's.
Carter Banks
I was thinking, though.
Tate Brown
Oh, it's Candace.
Tim Pool
She just goes. She's like, hello? And you're like, candace? She's like, who's this? And you hang up like, what?
Priya Patel
It's Ms. CO. Candace should take over the number. This would be a good career move for her.
Tate Brown
I'm just saying I got the watch.
Tim Pool
I just, you know, I mean it when I say, like, I wish I could live in this world where I'm like, I was hanging out with Charlie and he was able to control the energy around us and could turn the lights on and off with his mind. And, you know, we. We would astral project together and travel through time.
FilterMains
Just the eye rolls just.
Tim Pool
It's really remarkable when she was like, I think Charlie was a time traveler. And she means it and her audience loves it. They're like, whoa.
Priya Patel
Like that. That. That is the thing.
Carter Banks
I'm like, we're in so deep.
Priya Patel
No matter how culty somebody can get. And like, I mean, we've seen plenty of examples of culture throughout the years and the crazy things that they can convince people of. But the second that you get to the supernatural kind of stuff, I'm like, don't you lose people?
Tim Pool
No, we're going for it. All right. Tate is from the year 2143. And what happened was I traveled to the future to get. I was trying to age a pan so that it would appear when I brought it back, it was hundreds of years, 100 years old. And then sell it. But Tate watched and went through the portal behind me, and now he's trapped.
Priya Patel
Oh, no.

Stuck here.
Tim Pool
And in the future, everyone's gay.

Tate Brown
Has plenty of staffers available. The senators are very happy in the future. They have plentiful. I was staffers for them.
Carter Banks
Them.
Tim Pool
I made wine and then traveled 100 years in the future to collect it. Now, having it aged 100 years, which would probably make it worthless and disgusting, by the way.
Carter Banks
Right? I don't know.
Tim Pool
Like, aund.
Tate Brown
I haven't Done that before, so.
Carter Banks
I mean, I think they have.
Priya Patel
I haven't tried it out myself.
FilterMains
You just do that. You just get like some nice scotch or something.
Carter Banks
Like that barrel aged whiskey.
Tate Brown
That would suck if, like, 100 years ago, they'd be like, oh, well, so who wins next year's World Series? It'd be like, okay, well, at least, like, what stock's gonna perform on the 19.
Carter Banks
I can only do 100.
Tate Brown
None of them.

Tate Brown
Yeah, Drag.
Tim Pool
Well, that's gonna. They're gonna. They're gonna. They're gonna fabricate gold.
FilterMains
Yeah, they'll just be able to manipulate atoms. Yeah, well, actually, no, you'd have to be able to manipulate subatomic particles because atoms, a. I mean, gold is a. An element. So.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Tate has the ability to move things with his mind. With his mind.
FilterMains
Only milk. Yeah. Does that.
Tim Pool
So considering your ability, can you.

it is Dutch. Is it?
Tim Pool
All right, we're gonna go to your rants and chats and all that stuff. So smash the, like, button. Share the show with your mom. Call your mom. You haven't called your mom in a long time. Jim, come on. You haven't called your mom. You gotta call her. It's been. It's been like, what, two weeks?
FilterMains
James, listen, call your mom.
Tate Brown
Jimmy. What's going on, dude?
Tim Pool
Jimmy. Terry and Chuck. I know you're watching. You didn't show up on Sunday, man. We lowered the stakes for you. What are you doing? That one's actually for Chuck.
Carter Banks
Come on.
Tim Pool
Sure.
Tate Brown
Come on, Chuck.
FilterMains
You're gonna give Charlie a coronary. Oh, my God. Tim's talking about it.
Tim Pool
Coronary. All right, what do we got? Let's. Let's grab some of these rumble rants and chats. Uncensored portion is coming up at 10pm you don't want to miss it. All right, I can't actually read it's. It's not letting me read the username. Let me see if I can get the. Nope, nope. Only a Shotgun with birdshot is effective against drones. Actually, you know what? I got a bunch of ideas for businesses. I just got to do them. One of them is net canisters. So 44.44millimeter. Is it 40 millimeter or 40 millimeter?
FilterMains
Well, you can get 37 millimeter. And they're not regulated by the ATS. If you get a 40 millimeter tube, it's regulated.
Tim Pool
So do 37.37. And what they do is they shoot thin, frail netting. And you can load six. You'll have six cylinders, so it rotates. That way when the drones come in, you go. It hits a net, knocks them out of the sky before they get close to you. That's one of the most effective ways stop them. But if they're carrying explosives, you're still going to get hurt. So you'll need a ballistic shield too. It's crazy stuff. In the drone warfare Case in Point podcast says, what are you talking about, Tim? I burned my own CDs when I was a teenager. I'm 23. I didn't have any money for an ipod. But you could get blank CDs for free and burn music on a library or computer. Yeah, yeah, like, sure. And like a late nice way. Cassette tapes too. But I had a CD player, you know.
Tate Brown
Yeah, I was on CDs so probably like, I think I got an ipod when I was like 10.
Tim Pool
You know, we used to do a
Priya Patel
little later, but is we.
Tim Pool
We'd have a stereo with a cassette in it. And then you'd hear like the. You'd listen to the radios like Q101 in Chicago. And you'd hear. And we'd be like, oh, it's on, it's on. You'd run over and hit record and you'd get the Day I Tried to Live by Soundgarden. But like minus the first six seconds. But it's okay because then we had
Carter Banks
the song I got Jimmy World that way, the middle.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And then what you do is you'd put two in press play on one and record on the other, and then give it to your friend. And then sometimes you'd have a friend who would just press record and wait for the song and go, we got it. And that's how you got music. And then you'd make mixtapes by timing it perfectly and then hitting record and stop.
FilterMains
Best thing was when you would. When they had request shows and you'd call in and they'd actually talk to you. So you'd hear yourself talking and you could know when to hit Record. Yeah, because they, you know, they did the whole intro. I'm Jimmy from Blah blah blah, Play this song, you know.
Tim Pool
Yeah, or all that. If you're the 17th caller, you're going to win a free ticket. And then you'd call in, they'd be like, you're number 16. Bye. Click.
FilterMains
Like no.
Tim Pool
I never understood how it was possible, but I once won. They were, they were like, 15th caller, pick a song. And like, like I called in and he was like, you're the 15th caller. What song do you want to listen to? And I was like, I want to listen to Death Cab for Cutie. And they were like, let's do it. And I was like really surprised that Q101 would ever play Death Cab because they only ever played stuntable pilots. But they did.
Tate Brown
I remember when I was a kid, I called into a radio station, we lived in Indiana and I requested out of all the songs. It was like a, like a soft rock channel that like would always play in our garage. And I request them to play Star Wars. I was just like, I was so little. I was just like, can we just play Star Wars? And they're like, like yeah, sure. Anyway, I, I wish I. Someone maybe has a record. I don't know, probably not, but the small radio station that plays. Yeah, probably soft rock. And there's like a seven year old calling and asking them to play Star Wars.
Tim Pool
This is, this is important. Patriot Paladin says there were scooters before razor. They had 10 inch wheels and were huge in the 80s. So much so that NKOTB rocked them. But you're right, scooters are trash. Scooters existed. Scooters weren't invented by Razor. The point I'm bringing up is that skateboarding was a bunch of random dudes invented a weird object to go right around the streets and started making tricks. Bikes exist and people took them and started iterating trying to make tricks. Scooters existed. Nobody really cared to do tricks. Then they made these cheap, low quality trash scooters that parents went to Walmart to buy their kids. I'm not trying to be a dick, but this is how it happened. And then those kids started riding around on scooters because they didn't have access to the other cultures. So. So the way I look at it is it's like scooters represent the corporatization of like it was the normie ization of action sports. Like rollerblades weren't designed for grinding. And this is why I respect rollerblades. What they would do is they would take the one of the wheels off so they could create a channel they could grind with. So then they were like, okay, let's design rollerblades that actually have flat soles so you can slide on the sides and then we'll put plates where people take the wheels off. Now modern rollerblades are like the industry is basically dead. But you can actually get designed for only to have two wheels in them. So you actually have grooves for grinding and there's different sizes. It developed that way. People made it work. Razor scooters were just, I don't know, they were like, hey, this is a cheapo product for kids. Not, not a fan. But I got no beef with the skill. The skill's legit, you know, I'm just saying. Just saying. El Jefe says the DNC could literally not allow them to run as Democrats. But Democrats are retarded.
FilterMains
So yeah, no Democrats endorse the policies. It's not like the DNC could. But they genuinely want all the 90, maybe 95% of the Democrats out there. The House made a resolution or they were. They were trying to get a group of Democrats together when mom Donnie won and they were going to be like, we're pro America, we're pro capitalism, we just disagree with the Republicans, blah blah, blah. Like 13 members joined. Like most of the Democrats like know which way the wind's blowing and they're like all right, well I guess we're going to go ahead and throw our lot in with these guys. They're not against them at all. Most of the Democrats actually agree with them.
Tim Pool
D Sage Finance says Tim, was it pushing the limits with Trump knee pad Brian? I don't know what that's a reference to.
FilterMains
Like Brian pushing the limits.
Tim Pool
I understand who that is. I'm just saying like I don't understand who you're asking about in what context because we talked about a lot of things. What was it when we were saying the left is liars and I can read their minds? I don't know, it's just a tool. HS Disturb says for every he says every 10 or 11 year old boy know is super based like little old men, they don't care what you think.

Commodore fan says the rare times I listen to local radio is during bad weather with power outages to get local info and cell towers are screwed up. Otherwise it's Android Auto in my car for YouTube music or tune in premium. Exactly. When I get my Honda, instantly my phone kicks on and it's Pandora. It's just the icons there. And it presses play.
Priya Patel
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And then it's going to be my, my thumbprint radio, which is going to be like a lot of 2010s indie rock and some like 90s alternative and then some modern, like, you know, I guess like indie electronic stuff. And then when I get my Tesla, same thing. My phone just auto connects over Bluetooth. So no radio now.

In response to that radio call. The only places that have radio stations that survived is when they have DJs that have endeared themselves with the population. Right. Like, so there's some, there's. There's one in, in Wisconsin called JJo. There's one in Arizona. I forget what the. The 98.6. I think they're a metal. They're both of these are rock stations. I'm familiar with the people that work there. The only places that are still actually getting any kind of listener is the people that had DJs that were going out into the community doing stuff that, you know, have fans of the DJs and the radio stations made a big mistake thinking that DJs were just replaceable. Right? Oh, it doesn't matter who's spinning the songs. People are listening because of the music, et cetera, et cetera. And there might have been a time where that was true. But nowadays if. If they're like the radio stations that still are viable are ones that have DJs that people care to listen to.

No, it's going to be big tittied enemy waifus that are going to convince you not to fight back. It's like the AI is not stupid enough to be like, I'm going to create a conflict that will make them fight back. The AI is going to say, what can I get them to do to make them docile, not reproduce, and then just kill themselves off.

The Matrix is far more likely than
Tim Pool
Terms Terminator, you know, and, and, and to be honest, like, what, what was the problem with being in the Matrix?
FilterMains
You, you weren't free.
Tim Pool
But they never really explained like how. It's an interesting question. That was never, it wasn't explored enough. Like Cypher being like, ignorance is bliss. They did not actually explore, you know, like, would you really want to live in that, that desiccated, destroyed, nasty cave world, eating slop?
FilterMains
Cypher didn't exactly.
Tim Pool
Here's the other thing too. Like, you know, it doesn't make sense for Matrix, they can just plug your brain in and give you whatever you want. It's like, okay, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna give you an IV bag of, of gelatinous goo that tastes like trash. But you'll be plugged in the Matrix eating a delicious juicy steak the whole time. In fact, you're gonna get a whole steak. You're gonna get a 48 ounce tomahawk or 72 ounce. Now this goes nuts and you can eat forever. Like, they taught the dude kung fu, you know, they plugged his brain. So if they had mini matrixes, why was Cypher pissed? Just did you have, you have your own mini matrix, you do whatever you want. I guess that, that should have been what was happening in Zion. People live there and work, but then once they're done working, they just plug their brains and then they live in a normal, like a nice place, whatever. Also, those things they stuck in their heads were too long. Like, that's not, that's not real.
FilterMains
It's got to connect with the brain.
Tim Pool
All right, Mari Marushia. My issue with pronatalists is they tend to care more about quantity over quality. A handful of a class people can do more than a hundred thousand scammer and morons native 2 percenters are still 2 percenters.
Tate Brown
That's like a really harsh way of describing one fundamental flaw with, with a lot of pronatal policy, which is like five grand for people that aren't having kids that we need to have kids, which is like middle class and up, right? That's the problem is they're not having children. Five grand doesn't matter for them. They're not having kids for economic reasons. It's usually like spiritual issues. The people that five grand is enough for them to be like, okay, I'll have another kid. Those are people who actually don't really want having a lot of kids. They already have a lot of kids. So yeah, pronatalist policies when it's purely like economic to the, the super jettison saying in a very harsh way but it's true is like it ends up just becoming like a disgenic policy unfortunately. I mean I wish there was. I wish it was as simple as just throw some money at it. But it's not. Especially not in America.
FilterMains
All right.
Tim Pool
Based African says had a thought Thucydides trapped. But instead of countries and economic powers, it's cultural factions and political power within a country. This stemmed from the thought that much of the government marginalized groups seek to be large enough to displace responsibility and gain unchecked power. You know what I, you know, you know what the left is right about? The United States takes what it wants. We're the biggest, we're the strongest, we're the smartest, we take whatever we want. And the left was like yeah, why don't we just do that? That's it. Like what is this? What is the justification for the United States controlling global oil supplies or the petrodollar?
FilterMains
Well, I mean we're better. Yeah, well and legitimately. Okay. So in human history there has never been a society with as much power, military power that did not use it and, or used it as in a, in, as, as restrained. Yeah restrained way that the United States does any. Like if you gave the Mongols nuclear weapons, what do you think? What do you think he would Genghis Khan would have done with, with, with tanks? I mean the Germans obviously weren't responsible with them. You know like you look at, you look throughout history and there has never been a society that had the capability to wreak havoc that the United States does. And the reservation about using that power. So that.
Tate Brown
Right.
FilterMains
And I know people are going to say oh this war and that war and blah blah, the war. The US is always at war and the US is has done plenty of military actions to protect its interest. But the, the, the capability that the United States has to just like annihilate countries if we, if, if the, if they wanted to, if the military wanted to or if the, the government wanted to. It is completely obvious to anyone that takes a serious look that every single administration in the United, the United States has ever had was incredibly benevolent and very reserved in their use of power compared to any society in history. So that's right. There is is evidence that the United States is responsible with the power that it has and that that's why the United States should be the global hegemon. Take that.

Carter Banks

FilterMains
I mean, what do you mean by fix you again?
Tim Pool
I don't actually think people with brain chips will actually care about being fixed in reality. Right. So I. I would imagine if you went to a trans person and said, we can rewrite and eliminate the dysphoria from your brain or put you in a virtual reality where you will just be the opposite gender. They're going to be like, yeah, virtual reality.

This Timcast IRL episode rips through breaking news about a possible Trump assassination attempt, examining media treatment of gender and motive, before pivoting sharply into the night’s Democratic primaries (highlighting the DSA's ascendancy and the leftward drift of U.S. politics). The panel offers irreverent, deep-dive commentary on the fragmentation of media, collapse of radio, and the financial realities (and illusions) of podcast stardom.
With technological speculation—from Elon Musk's Neuralink to AI, gaming, and identity fluidity—the show explores both the promise and perils of the near future. Throughout, the cast drops punchy one-liners, mock-psychic bits, nostalgia for analog tech, and sharp social critique, ensuring this is as much improv and satire as it is intellectual and political discussion.
For those who missed the episode, it’s a dense, meta, and darkly comic meditation on America’s ongoing reality warp—where politics, media, and technology are in constant, chaotic collision.
