Episode Recap

Timcast IRL episode 397 aired on October 21, 2021, with Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing several major news stories. The primary topic centered on Netflix employees who protested Dave Chappelle's comedy special, with Tim describing the protesters as completely deranged after reports emerged of a Chappelle fan being attacked at Netflix headquarters. The co-hosts discussed how Netflix's co-CEO appeared to cave to employee pressure despite the controversy being about comedy rather than actual hate speech. The conversation also covered Chicago police officers defying vaccine mandates and rising crime rates. Another major topic was the January 6 committee's referral of Stephen Bannon for criminal prosecution, which Tim criticized as political targeting when the committee wasn't pursuing action against Antifa or those involved in property destruction during riots. Special guest Jack Posobiec appeared to discuss these issues, sharing stories from his recent travels including speaking engagements in Denver and visits to Turning Point headquarters in Phoenix. The show also included lighter moments with discussions about MyPillow products and Posobiec's new Klaus Schwab-themed merchandise.

“Netflix, their co-CEO, I think this individual is, is already beginning to cave saying, you know, maybe I should have been a bit more careful and recognize that employees are hurting. Oh, shut up.”
