Episode notes

Crowd funding has been the greatest freedom that i could possibly imagine. I communicate with some of them, but it's truly a way to be intellectually free. You know, i've had people from nigeria write me about my past and for some reason it gets sent to the span filter. Are they a prince? They want some money from you?

Today many YouTube channels have more influence than traditional TV shows. This fact is not lost on Dave Rubin, who started his talk show career in traditional media, but soon decided to strike out on his own. He now hosts The Rubin Report, which has half a million subscribers on YouTube and is financially backed by its fans on Patreon.

But the most important indicator of influence? All but one of Tyler’s law and literature class had heard of Dave before this taping.

Recorded live at an event a few months ago, Dave and Tyler’s conversation covers all this and more, including what Dave learned from his year abroad in Israel and his pick for the most underrated Star Wars movie.
