Aye. I'm sure Ian is a lovely human being, but the chemistry between he and Tim is poor. Most of the time he just feels like a third wheel.

Ian is a massive idiot who constantly goes off topic into absolutely ridiculous conspiracy nonsense. He has no clue what he's talking about half the time. It's insane. Bring back Adam! They're both better together than they are apart.

I don't think Ian is an idiot. He seems reasonably intelligent or at the absolute very least average. He does seem to derail the show frequently enough it's noticeable imo. I could be totally off but on occasions he comes off as quite farther left than most of the others on the show including guests.

Yeah, Ian can be dumb at times. Wish I could remember some specifics, but there were a few times he basically asked Tim or his guest to explain a basic topic or principle. Not even a political one, just a normal thing that literally everyone knows.

I like Ian, he lets Tim address normie points and misconceptions.

Well there was that one time that Ian tried to argue Hitler would have not been so evil if you could have just hugged it out with him.

I don't understand that level of stupidity...

First episode i heard with him he was trying to tie in some Quantum mechanics shit into a discussion about censorship lol

Then whenever hypotheticals come up, he almost always ends up with the wrong image and tim has to correct him constantly

Most recently this interview with a Facebook whistleblower, idk how but somehow he tried to bring up "THE source code" and it's like the third time I've heard him start on "THE source code" and fortunately tim steers onto a better more relevant topic.

Another example is (I believe the same episode as the quantum argument they had) when he tried saying some energy frequency in space might be god.

He's clearly interested in the more psychadelic aspect of conspiracy theory. I bet he might have a decent interview in him if he went on rogan, and they don't take it too seriously. But as much as i love dropping acid and smoking DMT, TIM POOL'S CHANNEL IS NOT THE ONE FOR THAT TOPIC!

I think he needs to learn THE(imo) great stoner lesson: YES, EVERYONE LOVES TO SMOKE WEED! NOW FIND A NEW TOPIC TO TALK ABOUT!!!!!

If you expect me to find a link to back any of these up, haha. Not gonna happen, but if you're sctually familiar with his input, you already know of at least 3 other instances like the ones i just listed(one of them was literally in his most recent podcast)

I can't think of any specific ones off the top of my head, but whenever he goes off on a crazy tangent it makes me cringe like crazy.

Same here. Sometimes he speaks up, and I’m like,”ok....how does this add to the conversation?” I don’t care for him.

Lydia, on the other hand, is pretty cool.

He had a long argument with everyone else about attitude creating reality. Real hippy bs. Physics studies were quoted by both sides but Tim tore Ian up on them showing how the pop sci interpretation of them was Wrong.

Ian just now: We get shower thoughts because there's information contained in water, so when it's running over you it makes you think more.

Not even joking.

I think Adam's spinoff shown is doing well. Cant be in Tims shadow forever!

Next they will need to do a 'collab' podcast.

Ian is a dumb fuck. He has no clue wtf he talks about half the time.

James O'Keefe schooled him the other day, when he asked about deep fakes and was concern trolling.

He's like an unfunny version of Weird Al.

BrutalHonesty 5 points ago +7 / -2

I tend to skip him when he comes on, the fact he never says a thing that matters to the conversations makes it easy. It’s funny how he is ignored or corrected.

2
Rginap 2 points ago +4 / -2

Right? Why the hell is he part of the show anyways? It seems as if he’s Tim’s idiot cousin that Tim hired just because his mom asked him to.

James was on point, and I’m so happy to hear him talking the details of actual investigative journalism. I’m happy that we’re getting litigation against some of these large-scale MSM companies for running false or slanderous (libelous?) stories, as with Sandman.

Also, I hope he can corroborate some of those crazier things. I am living for all this drama, lol.

I think Ian desperately wants to look smart and informed, and Tim can't charitably guide him back to reality when he strikes out. Tim goes for the throat and has to beat him down. Ends up being a lot of squabbling with not much gained.

Spot on analysis. I haven’t watched much of the irl podcast since adam left, but i get the feeling that there’s some antipathy brewing between tim and ian.

2
conservativeyuppie 2 points ago +3 / -1

Yeah, Ian used to be on Adam's show before he moved over to Tim's and Adam would do a much better job of dealing with Ian's ignorance and correcting him.

both guys have a terrible habit of shoehorning things in and being argumentative despite not being that smart.

Sf_2468 6 points ago +8 / -2

👆🏼 I like Tim and I like how he has guests now but Adam and some of the other regulars make me wait for the shorter clips from irl that don’t include them, the girl is alright.

Also would not call him papa that’s just weird. He’d prolly be offended at making him seem older then he is with that, he already has to deal with the bald thing.

Did not know that!! I meant Papa as a term of endearment, like we call GEOTUS Papa Trump etc

I only watch the little recap videos where Tim is solo now, I don't like the chick or the new guy.

Saw on Twitter just a few days ago that apparently Lydia is married to some chad 6 foot something dude. I only detail that much because it's very definitely not Beanie Man, and the pic only showed the guy's chest and arm next to her taking a selfie.

I'm sure all of the Lydia simps and Timdia shippers were mad as fuck at that, which was the main reason I thought it was noteworthy. Every cringelord incel watching the show either was so convinced that either they could get into her pants or at the very least that she and Tim must be banging each other.
