Featuring: GPrime85
Episode Recap
Tim Pool hosted Timcast IRL Episode 170 with George Alexopoulos (GPrime85) as the guest. The episode focused primarily on Arizona Governor Doug Ducey's announcement that he would not certify the state's election results until all Trump campaign lawsuits were resolved. Tim discussed the situation in Wayne County, Michigan where Republican canvassers initially refused to certify results before reversing course. The show covered Rudy Giuliani's press conference and claims of widespread voter irregularities supported by data from Matt Brenner and the Voter Integrity Fund. Tim argued that Trump's path to victory could come through the House of Representatives delegations if states failed to certify. The second half featured guest George Alexopoulos, a webcomic artist who described how his online presence was dismantled after being doxxed for following Ben Shapiro on Twitter, despite having created viral content including a popular Dark Souls comic. The show also introduced a new magnetic levitating spinning plant as a co-host.

“Giuliani came out today in his press conference in Nepal. They talked a bit about this and the media keeps lying, saying there's no evidence. We've got this. It's from Matt Brenner and the Voter Integrity Fund, where they've actually found widespread irregularities in returned ballots.”
— Tim Pool · main discussion of voter integrity evidence
“They loved your comics then someone found you followed Ben Shapiro and that was it. They scrutinized my Twitter at the time I had like 200 people.”
