I knew the Branch Timidian coffee venture was bad, but not that bad...

& it is so on brand for Tim to charge someone "$100 a day" for failing to open their franchise store on time, whilst demanding maximal investments to have the privilege of starting it. All while not even have his own flagship store operating yet, with the beanie boy risking only a pittance.


Here are some clips taken from 1 to 5 June IRL streams.


On 1 June, Tim had Jesse Arm, vice president of the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank, as the guest.
Brett, & Phil, were the co-hosts.

Clip Collection:
-The rest of the panel ask questions of Jesse, inviting him to provide information on an area he focuses on, which is polling. Tim cannot help but interject, offering his own views on the state of Maine' U.S. Senate race, using his preferred source for voter sentiment, Kalshi betting markets:


-After being personally invited by Stephen "Tommy Robinson" Yaxley-Lennon to his Unite the Kingdom Rally, & offered a chance to debate at the Oxford Union, Tim backed out because he thought his visa may be rejected, & wished to "keep my head down, for the time being". When offered the chance to stand up, in public, the beanie boy decided to chicken out:


-Tim & Jesse, a Jew, discuss the term goyslop. The beanie boy sees Israel's poor PR showing in the slang usage of the term for ultra-processed food, to which the guest tries to expand it to more broad cultural "cat-nip" to draw gentiles away from productive activities. Jesse sees the stereotype of Jews being all-powerful manipulators as good for Israel. The two talk about how disjointed anti-semitic conspiracies are which opens up the chance for Tim to, once again, talk about his episode with Leonarda Jonie, calling her ideas "nonsense":


-Brett seems more willing to push back on Tim's doofy propositions. To his talk of how "private individuals" have "always" been able to own nuclear weapons, Brett notes that it is corporations which have them, because they are contracted by the government to produce them. Which sees the beanie boy fall back to saying that is what he actually meant. Now Tim's stance is that these companies build, own, & research WMDs on their own, not awaiting government contracts to work on them:


Then, Tim waxes on about how if he were not streaming, he would be "designing weapons", because of his prior history with drones:


-Tim plans for games of Magic: The Gathering at the coffee shop, which shall open "soon":




On 2 June, Tim had Patrick Casey, a conservative writer & podcaster, as the guest.
Phil, & Tate the producer, were the co-hosts.

Clip Collection:
-After endlessly praising Dave Smith as his platonic ideal of an Israel critic, Tim has begun to sour on him. In this case, wondering how Dave Smith feels so betrayed by Pres. Donald Trump, despite his candidacy being prominently supported by Miriam Adelson, a rabid Zionist:


-This episode was more loosely formatted, with even Tim admitting that he failed to cover stories, which included a hostage crisis at a Chase Bank. Sadly, this did not translate into hearing less from the beanie boy:




On 3 June, Tim had Amrou Fudl, better known under the nom de guerre Myron Gaines, from the Fresh & Fit podcast, as the guest.
Ian, & Phil, were the co-hosts.

During an episode with Alex Stein, the beanie boy labelled Amrou's anti-semitic antics as turning off the average person. Unsurprisingly, when given a chance to call out someone to their face, Tim fails to do so.

Clip Collection:
-Tim mentions Derek Chauvin, & Amrou calls for his pardoning. But the beanie boy pulls an "Um, acktually", because a federal pardon would still see the former cop in a state prison, which would be certain death, according to him. The guest tries to explain he wants a complete pardon, & goes into the nuances of the federal case being contingent upon the state charges. But Tim keeps reiterating how the federal ones "only exist" to protect Derek from harm. Which is weird, because the federal case was begun in 2021, during the Biden administration, which was no fan of the former cop. In the face of Tim's intransigence, Amrou lets it go:


-The beanie boy has a very coastal elite vision of policing in flyover country. He envisions a small town being akin to some form of horror movie, where if you wrong one of the townspeople, they unite to murder you & the authorities hide your remains:




On 4 June, Tim had J. Chase Davis, a pastor & podcaster, as the guest.
Phil, & Tate the producer, were the co-hosts.

Clip Collection:
-Tim challenged people to move into the middle of nowhere, with a 20% mortality rate, as a way to avoid the high costs of raising a child. But when it comes to why the beanie boy did not start a family earlier? He was in his 20's during the 2008 Financial crisis, & sleeping on floors, which made it totally impossible:


-Tim saved his disagreements with Amrou "Myron Gaines" Foudl for the paywalled after-show. Amrou thought the Iran War was done at the behest of the Jewish State, & not to the benefit of America. Tim argues that the preceding events (removing Nicolas Maduro, bombing cartel drug boats, etc.) was to reorient oil production from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Mexico/America, & closing the Straight of Hormuz was part of that. According to the beanie boy, Amrou did not buy this, but Tim responded that all these acts were not done on Israel's orders, falling into one of his usual fallacies. Straw-manning criticism of Israeli influence on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East to controlling all aspects of its foreign policy, everywhere, is something Tim regularly does:




On 5 June, Tim had Matthew Williams, a conservative podcaster, as the guest.
Ian, & Phil, were the co-hosts.

Clip Collection:
-Tim flubs the guest's last name:


-After not really showing much interest in sports on the show, Tim engages in a rant about how the Chicago Bears leaving that city is a sign of cultural collapse. This topic consumed most of the episode:


-The beanie boy promises the coffee shop is to be operational "very very soon". He claims the opening was "jammed up", because he needed to have wheelchair access added. Tim bought a historical building, so it requires extra steps to get approval for renovations to add a lift, & that it why things were so delayed:


-Tim discusses his failure to marshal up investments to build "an Anti-Times Square" of conservative influencer-run businesses in Martinsburg, WV. Aside from some vague promises, no one came through in the end. The beanie boy complains that the Right does not build things in the same way the Left does:


-Tim only discusses serious news, like a female soccer player failing to kick a football, from 2023; & extreme pillow fights. No time for drama, like what is going on with Jeremy "The Quartering" Hambly:

There are enough grifters in Martinsburg already. Martinsburg is going through a housing boom as its an 1:15 from Dulles airport and doesn’t involve paying NoVa prices or taxes.

I missed this earlier, but. What does Times Square New York have that Martinsburg WV doesn't Timmy boy?
Why would it not work at all compared to New York?
I can't think of any large reasons why no one would want to build in the middle of fucking nowhere.

1780955877489.png

It's a realllll mystery.
 
Why would it not work at all compared to New York?
I know there's at least one beanie in WV so it can't be that.

I looked at his site a while back, he sells water in glass bottles for $2 a piece, only sold in cases.

@JamesWebbSlinger o7 keep up the good work your clipping is appreciated (even if I don't watch much)!

I’m really hoping the Casino boys fully commit to fucking with Timmy. There’s no one more deserving of it than the duplicitous grifting snake that is beanie baby Tim.

I’ve held a grudge against him ever since he kicked Adam Crigler off the show during the election news cycle. Adam was as harmless as any normie, but he was getting too aware of what was going on and that scared Tim. It also scared Tim that Adam was more entertaining than him so he just couldn’t let that slide. (Also it was later revealed that Tim was fucking their cohost, Lydia).
 
Adam was as harmless as any normie
Adam was the draw of IRL. Ian is fun, but he doesn't have the presence. Timmy just wanted to do his daily segment recap with guests, and Adam wanted to bring in other stuff that Lydia and Tim didn't want to do the research on. Her leaving was the best thing that could have happened, but it was way to late to salvage the show. Not that Cassandra has been doing any better as far as booking goes, Louis Rossman slipped thru the cracks (I think that was on Lydia), and I'm pretty sure she's the one responsible both the Jack's being regulars. Poso's wife was very interesting the time I remember her coming on, but I don't know if she's been back.

honestly Dim Fool has set himself up to be felted already with Luther Morgan finding out there's rat shit in his coffee and how Timmy boy said Jer flagging the casino was just drama. SUFFAH TIM!! SUFFAH BISH!!
 
PPP and Andy if you comb this thread looking for dirt on the retard I hope you crucify the fuck right up there with Hambly. Tim has gone unscathed for far too long and has deserved it for ages.
 
Here are some clips taken from the IRL streams from 8 to 12 June.
For someone that claims he does not stoop to talking about drama, Tim certainly waded into the subject, this week.


On 8 June, Tim had Andrew Branca, a lawtuber & former Nick Rekieta associate, as the guest.
Brett, & Phil, were the co-hosts.

Clip Collection:
-Master debater Tim Pool complains that conservatives have terrible rhetorical skills:


-Call him D.B. Cooper, because the beanie boy hijacks the conversation. Brett asks if there is a difference between absentee voting & mail-in voting. Tim jumps in to respond, but is corrected by Andrew. As the co-host is going to ask a follow-up to the guest, the beanie boy seizes the moment to bloviate some more:


-Tim wonders if he should have called the police on a black bear, after encountering one:


-This is the second time I can recall Tim being unwilling to air a statement that someone may want pedophiles to face the death penalty. The last time this came up, the beanie boy yanked the show down when a guest overtly said it, giving Jesse Kelly quite the tongue-lashing:


-Tim has no time for drama, like with Jeremy "The Quartering" Hambly. No, only serious news for IRL. Which is why Tim was prepared to discuss Ethan Klein using copyright against other streamers that played his documentary on their channels to commentate upon it:




On 9 June, Tim had Alex Stein as the guest.
Brett, & Phil, were the co-hosts.

Clip Collection:
-Tim begins by making it sound like he would have violently gone after Karmelo Anthony, if it were his brother killed. But the beanie boy hyped up how he would file lawsuits to undermine his opposition. As the all-time classic The Untouchables put it "He pulls a knife, you pull a cease-&-desist, he sends one of yours to the morgue, you send one of his to court. That's the Chicago way":


-Alex is excited to introduce talk of Israel to a conversation on race relations in the United States. After George Zimmerman is brought up, the comedian notes that is a Jewish-sounding last name. Tim did not react to this as he usually does:


-For once, Tim was not the one with the worst take. When discussing the reaction to the attempted murder of Stephen Ogilvie, Phil mentions that the unrest may be further escalated by former IRA members that kept their weapons, after the Good Friday Agreement. The manlet musician fails to understand that the IRA, & its undeclared political branch, Sinn Fein, were, & still are, eager to expel the British but open to protecting leagues of third world migrants. To say nothing of their taking military aid from the Soviet bloc:


-Tim discusses Nick Fuentes, predicting that the Cum Hunter shall have "$100 million" by his late thirties, & is "probably already a millionaire". The beanie boy expects Nick to invest it into fueling "miniature Nick Fuenteses", to push his message:


-After spending approximately 10 minutes searching for, then watching, a James O'Keefe video, Tim makes another 49 state landslide-level prediction. In this case, it is that a forthcoming Supreme Court decision shall result in "California turnin' red. They can't ballot harvest anymore". This hinges on the Justices issuing a broad ruling, barring all forms of voting outside of designated election days, with few exceptions (e.g. servicemen overseas, absentee ballot requests, etc.):


-Alex educates Tim on the Jeremy "The Quartering" Hambly v. Kino Casino conflict. Tim refuses to engage with it, even when mention of former Branch Timidian Hannah Claire Brimelow is made. Unfortunately for her, she went from being sacked by Tim to being on Jeremy's show. But the beanie boy is eager to discuss the court case over fair use between Ethan "H3H3" Klein & various leftist streamers. Tim argues that this case could set precedent on streaming copywritten material, such as "Avengers: Doomsday IN FULL (his emphasis)", as long as some commentary is offered. Brett mentions that smaller creators are not going to benefit from this ruling, & still face lawsuits. Tim brushes this off with a "Who cares?" & makes it all about "bigger creators", like himself. Tim repeats this point several times over. By the end of it, Brett half-jokingly remarks that if it goes through, he shall do watch-alongs of copyrighted material without a care on how much of Tim's money is spent on legal fees:


-Again, Tim refuses to talk drama, unless he wants to do so. For this one, it is an Instagram exchange with a now-former friend of his, Milana Vayntrub, known for her AT&T commercials. But because of this clash, the gloves are off. The beanie boy says that some of his earliest videos were filmed at Milana's house, & his political views have not appreciably changed since then. Tim is annoyed that Milana could have privately messaged him to discuss their differences, not throw insults his way, in public. Though his reasoning why Milana's "greedy" insult does not apply, that being Tim was already wealthy when they met, misses the point:


After saying he would drop it to cover other super-chats, Tim immediately picks up with the Milana conflict talk, once more. Alex & Tim note that Brian Shapiro, a leftist commentator, is vitriolic on-air but willing to hang out & talk, unlike Milana whom called the beanie boy "a humourless, greedy incel & you've sold your soul, blah blah blah". The beanie boy ranks Steven "Destiny" Bonnell higher that the AT&T girl, because he was open about supporting Democrats using COVID as a pretext to gain more power. Tim ranks noted deviant Steven Bonnell higher than a woman whom insulted him, online, that has not talked to him in years:




On 10 June, Tim had Mike Benz, executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, an anti-censorship group; & Rebeka Zeljko, a reporter for The Blaze, as the guests.
Ian, & Phil, were the co-hosts.

Clip Collection:
-Tim is using remarks by Isis Rose Akers, Elijah Schaffer's new girlfriend, & Paul "Gypsy Crusader" Miller videos, as his measure for race relations:


-Tim brings up the lawsuit between Ethan "H3H3" Klein & Alexandra "Denims" Saber, again. This time, it is because one of his episodes was copyright struck, & he lost an appeal, over showing "20 seconds" of Star Trek: The Next Generation. If Ethan loses this case, centreing around Alexandra streaming his entire documentary with minimal commentary, the beanie boy says that opens the way for undoing copyright laws, & setting the precedent for him to stream entire episodes of modern Star Trek shows:


Mike offers his perspective, & is actually allowed to talk, which is refreshing for a guest, here. Tim admits his shows are based on exemptions to copyright infringement (e.g. only reading parts of articles & offering his opinion upon them). However, in contrast to the previous night, he seems more tepid on losing copyright protections. The inability to monetise it when people "rip, repost, comment upon" Tim's content, means the operation bears greater costs while "the death threats, & the security threats remain the same". Now, Tim lumps himself in with the suffering smaller creators he derisively waved off as unimportant, yesterday. Now fearful of making documentaries, in the future, where one person can purchase it & stream it out to a wide audience, the beanie boy wonders on how to recoup investing in one:


-After more talking, Tim fears that even with the precedent set, he asks whether there will be "no IP laws for small, for small individuals", but for large corporations, only. Which was the same argument Brett made, last episode, which Tim pooh-poohed. Ian says that if the advertisements read on the show are part of clips taken, it garners the beanie boy money, either way. Tim says he does not make ad deals on contingency, "because contingency sucks". He, then, makes a rather funny admission about how he would take an upfront payment to advertise a terrible product. I wish Ian asked the natural follow-up, which products has the beanie boy hawked, knowing they were garbage. Ian & Phil start talking, but Tim makes a sour face, interrupting them with a gesture, even though they have said very little over the past twenty minutes of discussion:


Then, Tim wraps things up with an ad read & heads into super-chats. The beanie boy reiterates how direct buys are the way he goes with nearly every ad, & has refused to do one for a company on contingency, in the past, "because no one will buy your product":


-A super-chatter complains that Tim talked about Ethan Klein too much, instead of the riots in Belfast. Tim's response is to say that they are going to cover it...in the paywalled after-show. Not beating those greedy allegations:




On 11 June, Tim had Jeremiah Hicks, a pastor/social media personality; & Brian Shapiro, a leftist commentator/podcaster, as the guests.
Ian, & Phil, were the co-hosts.

Due to the line-up, this is more a Phil & Tim vs Brian show, as Jeremiah is mostly side-lined. In particular, the manlet musician certainly goes the extra mile to be disruptive, this outing.

Clip Collection:
-Brian is one of the few guests to call out the Norwood Elephant in the room, remarking upon Tim & he both being bald:


-Amidst an empty-headed exchange on race, Ian asks a real question, "Are Jewish people White?":


-After listening to Tim's argument that there is a broader plan being enacted by the Trump administration by bombing Iran, Brian regards that as giving them too much benefit of the doubt. The guest goes through the long list of changing justifications offered for the attacks on Iran, & his upset at the government deflecting blame for a cruise missile striking a school. To which Tim says those are just "moral arguments", because of what he believes the government's goal are. Set aside all the upset expressed in the past the beanie boy had, now it is mere moral arguments to call civilian casualties out. Brian asks Tim what shall he do if he is wrong, & how long is the beanie boy willing to give the administration to reach their goal. To which Tim says it is an impossible question to answer, but there has been "granular success", already. Disrupting Communist China's oil supplies, & elevating American oil exports, mean that Tim sees this war as a victory, even if Trump withdrew & called the whole thing off, tomorrow:




On 12 July, Tim had Benjamin Michael, an Orthodox Christian social media personality; & Brian Shapiro, once more, as the guests.
Ian, & Phil, were the co-hosts.

Again, Brian & Phil are at loggerheads, meaning Tim is not the most insufferable person on-set.

Clip Collection:
-Tech issues trouble Benjamin's camera, as it was out-of-focus. Because he is not a fan of Israel, & was blurred out whilst announcing it, there is a nice unintended comedy on the usually kosher Timcast trying to cover up the opposition:


-Phil goes the extra mile to offer praise to Elon Musk, claiming he was "the first person that thought it (reusable rockets) could be done", & "literally installed the internet in the sky". Tim steps in to rain on the manlet musician's parade, noting satellite internet has existed for some time, but Starlink made it a viable option for streaming. Add to that, the concept of reusable rockets was incepted by Wehrner von Braun, & the first massively reusable launch vehicle were the Space Shuttles. Though that can be debated as it has a fuel tank which is ditched during ascent, & left to burn up:


-I wonder if Ian does these sorts of things, just to get under Tim's skin. After the conversation dies down, Tim starts talking, but Ian interrupts. This riles up the beanie boy, & entertains Brian:


-Tim is planning more live shows for his debate platform, The Culture War:
 
Why do all of these right wing retards start coffee companies.

Also somewhat related does Sydney Watson’s tea company make money? She’s at least attractive so I want to believe she’s using her looks to move units.
IIRC at least one guntuber successfully started a coffee brand in the 2010s so they're probably all trying to copycat it, despite the market having changed since.
 
Why do all of these right wing retards start coffee companies.
It seems to have become en vouge after Black Rifle Coffee Company made news, & received an endorsement from Donald Trump Jr. as being the anti-leftist coffee. Then you began to see the likes of Tim take up the business model.



Here are some clips from the IRL streams of 15 June to 19 June.
From complaining about being disinvited to a house party, to losing out on ad revenue to AI, Tim was rather miffed this week.




On 15 June, Tim had Seamus Coughlin, a Catholic & conservative animator, as the guest. After a long hiatus, Seamus is back, having being a regular fixture, even filling the hosting chair, when Tim was absent.

Ian, & Phil, were the co-hosts.

Clip Collection:
-Tim is now expanding from selling skateboards, & coffee, to t-shirts:


-Ian used his weather-controlling powers to ensure the White House UFC fight was not rained out. Phil continues to doubt the might of Our Graphene Guy:


-Tim enters his troon-vestigation arc. The panel watches a video of Michelle Obama dancing, focused upon an odd crease in her pants, as well as adjudicating whether Joan Rivers was seriously accusing the former First Lady of being a "tranny". Again, Tim only covers serious news:


-In discussing the topic of Barack Obama being a homosexual & "spiritually androgynous", Ian asks if anyone else has thought of what it would be like to be a woman for a day. Phil says he has never done that, & without missing a beat, Our Graphene Guy follows up with a "Nah, me neither". He admits to playing a woman, in a stage play, though:


-Initially, Tim recounts how "some of these so-called libs" barred the Branch Timidians from visiting their home. Ian says there is polarisation growing, on both sides, which the beanie boy denies. Our Graphene Guy mentions that it is similar to why Sam Hyde is never being invited on IRL, because he is a "crazy radical that might say the wrong words", & you can choose whom to host inside your house. Tim claps back aggressively, saying that is not the case, & "the reason Sam Hyde isn't on the show has nothing to do with that ", advising Ian to butt out of Sam's "private business". Ian retorts that Tim brought up cases of people barring others over political differences, & defends the liberals. Phil chimes in to say how the graciousness receded when they learned Tim was coming. Which explains why the beanie boy is upset. Because he, alone, was the one not allowed to hang out. This pivots into Tim reminding us how terrible conservatives are at debating liberals, compared to himself:




On 16 June, Tim had Tony Ortiz, a reporter focused on Texas politics; & Seamus Coughlin returns, as the guests.
Phil was the sole co-host.

Clip Collection:
-In honour of the United States' 250th anniversary, Tim decided to celebrate in the only way he knows how: making money off it. His company produced a limited edition skateboard deck, which depicts the Branch Timidians as the revolutionaries, killing Ian, whom is in a British redcoat uniform:


-Tim defends the izzat of FBI Director Kashyap Patel, saying he does not believe the media reports of his malfeasance, as they are liars, through & through. Tony regards Kashyap as "cringe", & questions his choice to party with the U.S. Men's Olympic Hockey team, on the public's dime. The beanie boy reflexively begins pushing back, stating the stories about Kashyap's failings are media fabrications. & even were the accusations were true, Tim thinks the FBI director partying is a good thing, because he was attending a conference on that same trip, to balance things out. Phil comes in with a fact-check, lowering the estimated cost of the flight, but also not verifying Tim's claim that Kashyap was attending a conference. Unfortunately, both parties omit the more egregious matter of Kashyap extensive trips on government jets, to see his girlfriend:


Tim starts comparing Kashyap attending a private gathering, alone, to Pres. Donald Trump hosting a public UFC fight. Tony retorts that Kashyap has been failing with the release of information on Jeffrey Epstein, & rooting out bad actors, which Tim cited, earlier. The beanie boy is confused by someone recalling what he said a short time ago, & declares it is not easy to filter through every employee of a government agency. Tim attempts some verbal jiu jitsu, to say focusing too much on rooting out leakers could see successful terror attacks, to which Tony replies that plots may be stopped sooner, if saboteurs are rooted out:


Tony challenges Tim on what he thought of Dan Bongino, to which the beanie boy prevaricates. This comes right after he slammed the poor handing of "the Epstein stuff". He goes on a long winded spiel about how the administration has accomplished a great deal, but Epstein occupies everyone's mind. Throughout this, Tim addresses people critical of Kashyap in generalities, & when he gets to laying out their stated reasons for being against the FBI director, he just shrugs. Even though Tony specifically articulated his arguments to Tim's face, the beanie boy is avoiding directly addressing him. Phil says campaign surrogates overpromised on delivering Epstein-related things, which has Tim jump in to say it was only in response to people asking, not active vows made by those surrogates. Tony gets the final word, bringing up how the administration chose to send giggling influencers out to pose for the press, holding binders which may have contained information about children being raped by Epstein as an example of the FBI & Justice Department's incompetence. Seamus has the wherewithal to agree that was a very poor choice. But instead of responding, Tim just moves to the next story:


-Tim's audience gobbled up those skateboards:




On 17 June, Tim had Steven Al Ebadi, a former intelligence officer & contractor, as the guest.
Ian, & Phil, were the co-hosts.

Unfortunately, Steven is unaccustomed to Tim's nonsense, so he begins literally choking on it, as the show goes on. So, warning for headphone wearers, as the guest keeps having to clear his throat, towards the end of the show.

Clip Collection:
-Tim starts off well, acknowledging the pro-Israel faction in U.S. politics, without caveats; & permitting Steven to talk, uninterrupted, for some time. But the beanie boy still felt the need to jump in, when the guest started to have trouble speaking, as English is his second language, ultimately cutting him off:


-Steven predicts war with Communist China starts in 2029. Tim, never one to buy into future conflicts without solid proof, asks the guest to lay out his reasoning. Ian disagrees that conflict is inevitable, but the beanie boy asks when was the last time Our Graphene Guy was in a fight. Ian says it was decades ago, & Tim has to go back to Occupy: Wall Street for his last scrap, which was simply grabbing someone's arm. This was done to show how irrational people can become once conflicts start, but both of them have been well removed from any violence for a long time. Steven ends the segment saying he is unsure about his prediction, & cannot divulge his sources to verify it, anyway:


-Tim behaves as if adjustable yield nuclear dumb bombs, are new fangled inventions, because he uses the term "gravity bomb" as if it is the latest wunderwaffe. The beanie boy does not understand why nuclear weapons are not being used, if they have small yields, which cannot affect the environment:


-Also, Tim does not believe in Mutually Assured Destruction (M.A.D.). To prove this, he wonders why, in a hypothetical war, Communist China would attack India, if the United States strikes CCP military targets with a nuclear weapon. Which is not what M.A.D. entails. To show what would happen, in his estimation, Tim lays out how both sides would respond with more strikes, hoping to cripple their opponent, & ending with both parties caught in an escalation ladder, ending with their devastation. Which is what M.A.D. actually is, hence Mutually being part of the acronyms:


-Tim decides to belittle Ian, for a bit. In discussing people becoming radicalised, Our Graphene Guy mentions the economy being "rigged" by the Federal Reserve's control of the monetary system. To this, the beanie boy says it "has literally nothing to do with the problems we face, anymore". It does not matter how much you can improve the economy, because nothing will convince "communists trying to massacre everybody" which are "ideologically driven". Phil comes in to make the tone-deaf remark about how exiting poverty has never been easier than in the United States. Which ignores just how much inflation has affected the purchasing power, & value, of the dollar, even in the last half decade, let alone, since 1913. This is to say nothing about declining homeownership rates, compared to prior generations, the explosive growth of buy-now-pay-later companies, etc. Tim caps this off by saying communists subverted, & cast out people, like Ian, at Occupy: Wall Street, showing how out of step Our Graphene Guy is:


-Phil says he is unconvinced about aliens visiting Earth, based upon humanity's current understanding of physics, but there may be undiscovered methods out there. Tim steps in to "Um, ackhtually". The beanie boy says there may be ways around current limitations which permit Faster-than-light travel, but we just have not found it, yet. Which is what Phil said, as part of his statement:


-One bonus of having a guest is letting them speak about their own life, work, etc. But instead of that, Tim decides not to hear about how Steven was maliciously prosecuted by the government. The greater priority is talking about Joe Rogan, so he summarily ignores the guest's offer to tell that story:


-Tim challenges Ian to make it rain, before the crew leaves the studio. Ian says it would take "45 minutes", & Phil demands it be done in less than half that time to prove it. The beanie boy actually offers some defence, saying that it would take time to move dense clouds around, & is open to believing Our Graphene Guy, if the precipitation comes:




On 18 June, Tim had Joshua Carr, a conservative political commentator, as the guest.
Brett, & Phil, were the co-hosts.

Clip Collection:
-Tim is easily swayed, as allegedly Trump administration officials told him that he was correct about the United States using the Iran War to undermine Communist China. The beanie boy says he asked for no classified confirmation of that fact, merely being told by the government he was correct is enough proof:


-The beanie boy is becoming more & more frantic about AI supplanting "white-collar jobs". Phil makes the mistake of trying to counter Tim's point, & is needlessly browbeaten for it:


Tim brings up a news story about a recently released AI model which was deactivated, due to claims of national security risks. Phil steps in to note that the danger of an LLM model with speciality in both reasoning, & coding, is the power it may give hackers. In response, Tim says it has nothing to do with national security risks, but how it was "putting an end to white-collar work". The beanie boy highlights that AI-generated content is always going to swamp the human-made, & consume that limited amount of free time people have to view things:


Joshua offers his perspective, which is that despite the disruptions AI may cause, history may judge it a worthy trade. But Tim continues to doom & gloom, noting you cannot replace an economy based upon paying workers to purchase goods with AI, because they do not contribute to consumption in the same way humans do. & especially for Tim, "creative work", like his, is also being replaced by AI:


-Tim bemoans how "30%" of YouTube's content is apparently AI-generated, & acknowledges that a prior technological shift permitted his own rise. Now the beanie boy is in the place of the legacy media, according to him. He alleges that per video, views for the Branch Timidians remain the same, but other channels are falling. To this, Tim states his biggest rise was due to a combination of Carl "Sargon of Akkad" Benjamin platforming him, & a relentless tide of posting videos. This deluge drowned out the competitors, & the algorithm kept recommending Tim's videos over other channels which made only one per week:


This continues, with Tim disclosing that he was making "$8 million, in YouTube revenue, alone" in 2019. But now, with AI-generated content out-posting him, Tim is foreseeing diminishing returns for his "12, or 13" videos per day. The future is one of AI videos, leaving the Branch Timidians poor & destitute:


-A super-chatter speaks up in defence of Brett, saying that authentic content, made by a human shall retain some value, by citing how Jean-Luc Picard's family ran a vineyard, in Star Trek: The Next Generation. The look on the co-host's face says it all, as Brett resigned himself to hearing Tim explain how wrong he was. The beanie boy's counter is that to get there, a global war ensued, & humanity only got out of this by encountering aliens. Brett lays out his argument, that until AI muscles out humans, authenticity is one of the best ways to cultivate a following. But the co-host has not watched Star Trek, to the beanie boy's disappointment:




On 19 June, Tim was absent & Phil took the hosting post. The guests were Noah Wall, founder of the State Leadership Initiative, a conservative lobbying group focused upon state-level politics; & Jacob Wehmeyer, chief of staff of that same organisation, as the guests.

Ian was the sole co-host.

As expected, the show goes so much smoother, & remains conflict-free, without Tim around.

Clip Collection:
-The guests are thrown into the deep end, right from the off. Phil & Ian joust over the latter's weather controlling ability. I can only imagine what is going through their minds. Thankfully, the two drop it, so we are spared the Branch Timidian version of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? this episode:
