Timcast IRL #863 Russell Brand Hit By MATRIX ATTACK, Cancels Tour Amid Me Too Scandal w/Adelitas Way
Episode Recap
Tim Pool hosted Timcast IRL episode #863 on September 19, 2023, with co-host Ian Crossland and guest Hannah Clare Brimlow. The episode opened with a BetMGM Casino advertisement before diving into the main topic: the sudden allegations against Russell Brand and Andrew Tate's characterization of the media coverage as a matrix attack. Tim discussed two conspiracy theories surrounding the allegations—Brand either preemptively building a defense army or being targeted for his anti-establishment commentary on Bill Maher. Tim compared the treatment of Brand to the media's handling of Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein, calling the selective targeting suspicious. The show also covered breaking news about an F-35 fighter jet that went missing, with debris eventually found, and a military-wide stand down order following recent disasters. Later, Tim promoted the upcoming Timcast IRLX Miami event on October 6th featuring high-profile guests including Patrick Bet David, Donald Trump Jr., and Matt Gaetz. Rock band Adelita's Way members Rick DeJesus and Trevor Stafford joined as guests, discussing their independent music career, three number one hits, gold records, and their mission to support indie artists while fighting the culture war. The episode also noted a collaboration song called Power featuring Adelita's Way and Ian Crossland.
