It's live.

That's it, End of the World, part two, Tim Dillon, you savage. It's good to see you, my friend.

Tim Dillon (0:21)

Thank you for having me, we're back.

Kyle Kulinski (0:22)

Kyle Kulinski, a voice of reason, the person who actually understands politics.

SPEAKER_4 (0:25)

That's debatable.

Kyle Kulinski (0:27)

It is debatable.

SPEAKER_4 (0:27)

We'll see how much the voice of reason I am.

Kyle Kulinski (0:29)

I will say, I will lean towards you knowing what you're talking about. What's going on?

Oh, so do you have an opinion about how this is gonna go down?

SPEAKER_4 (0:41)

Yeah, do I have a prediction?

Kyle Kulinski (0:42)

Yes.

SPEAKER_4 (0:43)

Yes, it's very likely to be Joe Biden winning.

Kyle Kulinski (0:47)

And what makes you say this?

SPEAKER_4 (0:48)

First of all, let me just make clear so we don't get mass downvoted. I'm not saying that because I necessarily want that to happen. I'm saying that empirically, I think it's very likely that he's gonna win. And the reason I say that is, I actually sent this to you, Jamie, if you wanna pull it up, but when you look at the polls, and I know we can get into whether or not you should even believe the polls, right? Because you don't think so, right?

Kyle Kulinski (1:10)

Well, my thing with polls, I even have a bit on it, is like who answers polls? Morons.

So if you're listening to morons, like 46% of morons believe this. But a normal person with a regular life, they're like, hey Kyle, may I have a few minutes of your time to ask you about politics? You don't say yes to that. Morons say yes to that. So the people that you're polling are almost all morons.

Or lonely or sad or lonely or sad, right? It's true.

SPEAKER_4 (1:40)

I get to talk to a pollster.

Tim Dillon (1:42)

Nobody polls me. I'm waiting every night for a call. I wanna talk for hours about, and no one cares.

Kyle Kulinski (1:48)

Yeah, have you ever answered a poll?

SPEAKER_4 (1:50)

I've never answered a poll, no.

Kyle Kulinski (1:51)

Have you?

Tim Dillon (1:52)

I've never been called.

Kyle Kulinski (1:54)

Jamie, have you ever answered a poll?

SPEAKER_4 (1:58)

Not like a real one, no.

Kyle Kulinski (1:59)

Not a real one.

Tim Dillon (2:00)

Kleenex, Re-Chancey or something. I don't know who they call and why they call them.

Kyle Kulinski (2:03)

I don't believe in polls and I don't believe in Nielsen families. I don't think they're real. I've never met a Nielsen family.

Tim Dillon (2:08)

It's a good point.

Kyle Kulinski (2:09)

People say they have a friend. Oh, my friend's a Nielsen family.

Tim Dillon (2:12)

Right.

Kyle Kulinski (2:13)

Really?

Tim Dillon (2:13)

Right. So our ratings, everything's just fake.

Kyle Kulinski (2:16)

It's all fake.

Tim Dillon (2:16)

Yeah, we don't know anything.

Kyle Kulinski (2:18)

The news is now.

SPEAKER_4 (2:19)

The news is definitely fake, I'll give you that.

Kyle Kulinski (2:21)

Do you remember when fake news, when you would hear fake news, you'd be like, that's such an unfortunate term. I hate when people say that, because you know it's not fake.

SPEAKER_4 (2:28)

You know Hillary started that, right? It wasn't Trump. Hillary was the original one who said fake news and then Trump took it and ran with it. And now everybody thinks it's just a Trump thing.

Kyle Kulinski (2:36)

No way, when did she do that?

SPEAKER_4 (2:37)

I think the first time that that term came up, she said something. It may have been in the context of like, oh, we need to regulate fake news online.

Like fake news, there's all these stories that blow up on Facebook and they're not true and maybe we should do something about it. And she used the term fake news in a speech. And then after that, it was Trump who started using it. Now everybody thinks it's been him all along.

Kyle Kulinski (2:58)

Hmm, interesting, interesting, yeah, well, he used it a lot. That's for sure.

SPEAKER_4 (3:03)

Yeah, now it's his, obviously. It's crazy though that it's got like a patent on it.

Kyle Kulinski (3:07)

2016 was when we first heard that term. Like we have existed for a long time. There's been media for a long time. There's even internet for a long time, relatively.

And yet fake news is a new thing. And now, but I used to think it was bullshit. I used to think it was a cheap cop out for someone who didn't wanna deal with facts and they would just tell their people, hey, this is fake news. And you'd be like, but you know, that's not fake.
