Episode Recap

Timcast IRL episode 652, recorded on November 5, 2022, opened with host Tim Pool and his co-hosts discussing the controversial NBC report about the Paul Pelosi hammer attack that was mysteriously deleted from their platform, sparking widespread speculation about what actually happened. The hosts expressed disbelief at the changing narratives surrounding the incident, with Tim noting that no one could determine the truth. The conversation then shifted to Elon Musk's chaotic takeover of Twitter, where Elon had fired approximately half the staff, eliminated the transparency and accountability teams, and locked employees out of their systems. Tim explained that advertisers were fleeing the platform due to woke activist complaints, causing Twitter to lose an estimated $4 million daily, which ultimately led to the very layoffs activists had complained about. The episode took a celebratory turn when Tim announced his song 'Losing My Mind' had reached number one on iTunes, briefly displacing Taylor Swift at the top of the charts, prompting the opening of an expensive bottle of Louis XIII cognac. Guest Pedro Gonzalez, a writer and editor at Chronicles Magazine, joined the discussion to provide additional commentary on the news stories.

Notable Quotes

“This is the weirdest thing. This report comes out from NBC claiming that Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi, answered the door for the cops. And then he calmly walked back to the crazy dude who told the police everything's fine. Then the crazy dude cracks him over the head with a hammer.”

“We released a song at about 9 a.m. this morning. Genocide, losing my mind. We around, I think it was a 420 or 430 today, displaced Taylor Swift on the iTunes top 100, taking the number one spot away from the current number one hit song on the Billboard Hot 100.”
