Tim Pool - 'journalist' who claims to be a sensible centrist & sucks Sargon of Akkad's wiener; Afraid of the Milkshake ANTIFAs

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.

Edit: This is by far the stupidest Timcast episode. The guest is shilling Eth and ERC20 tokens, and pretending they're not essentially fiat bullshit. Tim thinks Bitcoin is made by the elites because it can be tracked, but somehow doesn't get any digital fiat transaction can as well, at least crypto is somewhat private and can't be prevented from being transferred easily in comparison to fiat.


Wasn't she pregnant, or was she and Andy just trying for a kid but not actually having one?


His name is Serge, and he hasn't showered in three weeks.

Ethereum is totally centralized heavily pre-mined proof of stake bullshit, while Bitcoin is at least heavily decentralized. Tim doesn't know crypto that well but he considers himself "knowledgeable" because he used to hang out with "hacker" types.

Yes, actually. Aside from what @nym said, Sargon gets out of the way a lot of the time. He'll still talk about feminism because he considers himself an expert on it, but on other subjects, he delegates it to other people. I'd say his secretary gets more facetime on that show more than Sargon.

In comparison to Tim Pool, Tim cannot delegate any of his shows to anyone. Sure, his hires are retards, but they're also not charismatic either. Aside from Adam, I guess, but he's not a hire anymore. So, anyone who watches Tim's show has to be doing it to see Tim and he's been coasting on his press credentials for years now. Tim is a fundamentally uncurious person, which is why he doesn't seem like he's learned much of anything in the years he's been a pundit. Which is why I say the difference is Sargon has read a book. I don't believe Tim reads anything. News articles don't count as reading.

I actually like Lotus Eaters a lot when Sargon is on, he usually has a fun time with it and riffs well with whoever is on. He had Vee on last week, and even though Vee was awkward as shit, he managed to make some good videos with him. The only instance I think the show was more interesting without him was the Sam Hyde calling out Hasan Piker thing, when the cohosts did it and had way more fun with the shitposts than Sargon did when he talked about it.

Also Sargon doesn't spend half his airtime talking about himself. I don't know how Tim can't manage what literally every other pundit type does and avoid talking about himself.

I watched the whole thing, the things I do for you faggots. The whole thing was just him clickbaiting, he acknowledges it's a nonsense story. As usual, about 10 minutes total at most are the actual news, which is talk of the draft possibly being reinstated and the government building themselves nuclear bunkers.

I'm pretty much convinced Tim is starting to go insane. Every article and IRL show has become a circle jerk. He's fired or cut ties with pretty much anyone who questions him and every livestream is just him repeating the same old stories and engaging with the midwits who clap like seals. Meanwhile, his independent videos are either pure clickbait or borderline unhinged.

I actually find Carl Benjamin to be more interesting these days. The smartest thing that man did was sign up with a bunch of guys who were quite possibly smarter then he was. The end result is Lotus Eaters is actually engaging. I feel like Sargon actually listened to all the genuine criticism and took it to heart. Tim? Not a chance.

Every episode of IRL I feel like my brain is melting.

Very true, plus it exposes me more to European politics. I'm also getting tired of Tim referencing Star Trek and asking boomers if they get specific video game references.

Aren't some of Carl's pay walled segments just him sitting down and having one of the historians he hired explain history to him? I can not imagine Tim EVER giving someone with more knowledge than he has the time or interest it takes to get into a deeper subject like that.

Carl built a think tank, Tim fired his co-host and hired Ian instead...

Its the most frustrating thing about IRL. Tim will have some very intelligent and interesting people on his show and he just will. not. let. them. talk. He'll tell stories about "When I worked at Fusion" while Ian will occasionally sperg out about Graphene and biological weapons with all the wit of a Star Trek explanation for the space magic. "Tim, what if China reversed the polarity on the Mitochondria, so that the virus will only target people exposed to chickens?" Stuff like that. All the while the guest will just be sitting there looking confused and wondering why they were even there.

Just a side by side comparison of Carl Benjamins "Bannon Interview" and Tim Pool's. Its pretty obvious when you see it together.

my favorite is when he had someone who does border stuff and sees what the cartels do talking about the stuff he's seen then Tim bring up videos he's seen on the internet. Like he cannot have people thinking other people are more interesting. Or when he has Andy Ngo and just doesn't let him speak. A co-host might have worked when he wasn't interviewing people but with Ian while he occasionally has a good point that's very rare. Even Lydia understands her role since she doesn't talk over the guest as often unless it's to fact check something really quickly

To be fair it's not so much that Sargon listened as he had the smuckle kicked out of him. Everyone pretty much dogpiled him online when he picked a fight with Metokur and at the same time he was being pelted with fish in public by leftists. I'll give him credit though that he threw himself into the ring when running for politics and that's what lead to him being pummeled, and he grew from that experience, which is something I don't think Tim will ever do himself as he'll just build a beanie cocoon in the compound and only eat what Ian brings him before he ever interacts with the public in any way.

I remember about a year ago, all of the IRL episodes went something like
Guest: "So that's why this incredibly interesting thing I'm an expert in is happening and because of that--"
Tim: "Have you heard of the fourth turning?"

That's one thing that annoyed me about Tim, he claimed he was doing the capeshit references to explain things to normies, which is fine in theory, but then it became very clear it was not for the normies it was just because he wanted to talk about capeshit.
