Tim had no guest, substituting in Phil as an ersatz guest.
Ian was co-hosting.
But, alongside Ian & not wanting one of the chairs unfilled, they propped up a painting made by Josie Glabach, under the name of the Redheaded Libertarian, & Timcast employee, of their deceased cat:

Speaking of Josie, she decided to weigh in on why Vermont is ranked as the safest state in the United States, using her libertarian logic, says it is the plethora of firearms making Vermont safest. But, she may have missed another important factor:

*Tim talks about his gripes over YouTube's policies, almost completely uninterrupted: 0:08-25:12
Clip Collection:
-Tim may have finally reached his breaking point with Ol' Massa YouTube's whippings, saying several shows have been retroactively struck down, years after their release. Tim notes how he threatened to purge the channel, & YouTube's representative tried to coax him into not doing that. Will Tim actually start simulcasting, now, or has the beanie been boiled in the pot for too long?:
-Tim explains why he does not want to move off YouTube, as it is the biggest driver of memberships & it is the only way for the show to continue with its "slight growth" in memberships. Tim claims if he moved the live show to another platform, it risks the YouTube streams facing "deranking...losing a large portion of what funds the show". Tim has asked other platforms to match the potential losses in revenue, to which they are currently uncertain about:
-Tim says he pays himself via the revenue from the morning show segments, which gives him a salary of slightly more than "$1 million bucks a year". Tim goes on to explain how IRL is not making him money, & how he could live extremely well just on that, with no stress. Tim drops hints that he may be reaching a deal with Rumble, but remains mum on specifics, by calling it a "third party". Tim claims that the next step would involve "attack[ing] this thing" with a massive marketing campaign to label YouTube as "not safe for your business":
-Tim claims that his episodes were taken down, due to Google, YouTube's owner, employing people that were protesting against Israeli apartheid in their office. That is right, it is an antisemitic conspiracy to keep Timcast IRL off the air!:
-Ian argues that placing all your focus onto a single platform for ad revenue is good "at face value", but diversifying is more important. Ian goes on to describe how he felt about monetisation coming to YouTube, how he was doing drugs & cursing on-camera, etc. to which Tim seems nonplussed having Ian doing half of that, right then & there. Ian claims he helped to create Maker Studio:
-Ian always has mushrooms on the brain. Tim jokes that with dinosaurs going from being lizards to birds, & perhaps they were really fungi, all along. Ian makes his "Whoa, my mind is being blown" face & everyone starts laughing. Ian goes on to describe how fungi are actually spores from space, which were the source of all life on Earth, as he wishes he were on DMT to better explain it:
Barmy Ian is best Ian, as he takes Tim's joke about expanding Earth prevents water levels from getting too high as a genuine remark:
-Tim says the concurrent viewership does not count people, but "screens" & "60%" are from a television's YouTube app. Tim claims this raises concurrent viewership from 40,000 to 70-80,000:
