So, how has this past weekend treated Tim Pool?
In short, not so well.
It started, as many Tim weekends do, with a bad joke.
On Saturday, 3 August, Tim asked ChatGPT what "Satoshi" & "Nakamoto" meant in Japanese, this being the name of the supposed inventor of bitcoin. Because the names could be translated as "intelligent" & "central origin", respectively, Tim made the less-than-funny jibe that the CIA made bitcoin:

On Sunday, 4 August, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the man Tim has been trumpeting as the one who could have been the Democratic nominee for U.S. President shared a video on "X" to get ahead of an unpleasant story leaked to the press. Unfortunately, the gravelly voiced gargoyle admitted to taking a dead bear cub off the road, intending to skin it at his home, in Westchester, New York. The carcass remained in Robert's car all day during a falconry outing. Though his plans to prepare the bear were interrupted by a supper in New York City, so Robert was inspired by the spate of bicycling fatalities in the news to re-create the aftermath of such an accident using the bear cub's body & a bike he intended to dispose of. The following day, Robert's prank went on to become major news. The best part is that this was during a discussion with Roseann Barr, so for once she was not the looniest person in the room. Needless to say, Tim was a little shocked:

This was part of a one-two blow, which included the chaotic stock market & a serious drop in bitcoin prices. Tim admits he is feeling the pain of this:

Seriously feeling the pain of this:

Adding insult to injury, Tim, has been featuring a less than stellar line-up of guests. But that did not stop his booker for The Culture War, Lisa Elizabeth, helping arrange for Adam Crigler to get an interview with Tommy Robinson, amidst the ongoing upheaval in England:

So, this weekend, Tim got to see the man he thought could win the Democrat primary admit to carrying roadkill in his car; losing major amounts of money in the market crash; & have his booker secure a major interview for the man he fired.
But, there was one shining light on this otherwise dark weekend for Tim. Cody Dennison, in his Timcast-slathered racing car, "moves into 9th place in points", which is something I was unaware of being part of determining winners in car races:

Tim had Nick Freitas, a member of Virginia's House of Delegates, as the guest.
Hannah & Libby were the co-hosts.
Clip Collection:
-Tim is sponsoring Cody Dennison's race car, & is now hawking Cody's site & merchandise, in turn:
-Tim continues to argue that if Kamala Harris wins the presidency after being "installed" by the DNC, it is leading to "Chinese-style communist governance in the United States". It is "Trump & oblivion" on the ballot for the 2024 election, & Kamala winning is not going to be instantly authoritarian, but "the beginning of the end of the Republic":
-Despite "not [being] a big stock market guy", Tim says that he lost $18,000 due to the downturn. Though this may not include crypto losses, as Tim previously claimed he had a fair bit of bitcoin, as well. So, he may be feeling the pinch there, as well:
-Tim, again, claims that his morning show is being algorithmically, & intentionally, blacklisted by Google to not show up in searches. Tim mentions that during the show, people in chat were seeing the results appear, but Tim twists this into the blacklist being lifted during the show & being re-imposed afterwards. I tested this, last month, & saw no such elimination of him from Google searches, even in the middle of the day:
-Libby, not to be outdone, says the same happens to her outlet, The Post Millennial. Tim does a live Google search which alleges to back up her claim:
I tested this, myself, with a less popular news story posted by The Post Millennial. I was able to see both the "X" post advertising & a direct link to an article within the first five results. Not sure what is going on with Tim's searches:

Even doing so with a breaking news story, I found the "X" post for The Post Millennial's article, though not a direct link to it:
