Featuring: Zachary Levi
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL aired on November 7, 2025, with Tim Pool hosting alongside co-hosts to discuss the potential overturning of Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark gay marriage ruling. The episode opened with discussion of a Supreme Court private conference scheduled to determine whether the court would hear a challenge brought by former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, which seeks to overturn the 2015 same-sex marriage decision. Tim and his panel expressed concerns about the conservative court's willingness to overturn precedent, drawing parallels to the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. Zachary Levi appeared as the featured guest, discussing his acting career and his ambitious project to build an alternative movie studio and living community on his ranch in Texas as a counter to what he described as a broken Hollywood system. The panel also addressed Donald Trump's ordered funding of Snap by Friday despite claims of insufficient funds, and the viral meme surrounding Sidney Sweeney's response to accusations of racism over a comment about white jeans. Phil Labonte, lead singer of the metal band All That Remains, joined the discussion briefly to provide commentary on the culture war topics. The episode featured sponsor reads for Beam Dream sleep supplements and Backyard Butchers grass-fed Texas beef, both with promotional codes for Timcast listeners.
