Tim Pool says his popular podcast Timcast IRL could stop very soon. The reason, he says, is growing danger, rising costs, and fear for safety. In a recent X live, Pool told viewers that threats against him and his team are getting worse. He said someone even opened fire at his home in West Virginia.“There is a possibility that the 19th is the last episode of Timcast IRL,” Pool said during the live stream. He warned that things are not calming down. “The violence will get worse. It is going to escalate. We cannot keep going as status quo.”Pool explained that these fears come after a podcast episode went viral. That episode included strong claims about Erika Kirk and Charlie Kirk. Hours later, Pool says, someone fired shots at his property. While no one was hurt, the incident deeply shook the team. He said the pressure is now too much to ignore.
Tim Pool explains rising danger, money struggles, and safety fears facing Timcast IRL
During the same X live, Tim Pool spoke calmly but clearly about why the show may not survive. He said security has become a must, but it is also expensive.“We asked at what point do we say we can’t do this anymore?” Pool said. “The cost of running Timcast IRL studio and the projects around it exceeds the amount of money it brings in.” To make the point simple, Pool shared an example. “If you need a hundred bucks to, you know, run your restaurant, but you’re only bringing 90, you go out of business,” he explained. Pool also said security costs cannot be avoided anymore. “We cannot forego security, but we cannot sustain it either,” he said. Because of this, he confirmed that serious talks are already happening.“We’ve already had emergency meetings for obvious reasons,” Pool said. “We are doing everything, everything we can to make sure that’s not going to be the case.”Pool made it clear that the biggest concern is no longer money. It is fear.“The cost is not just money anymore,” he said. “The cost is the safety of my family, myself.”Earlier, Pool shared details of the shooting in a December 6 X post. “Last night a vehicle approached our property and opened fire,” he wrote. “No one was hurt. Our security team is reviewing the incident and will be relaying the report to appropriate law enforcement. This is the price we pay for speaking out against evil.”As of now, Tim Pool says no final decision has been made. But the future of Timcast IRL remains uncertain.Also Read: Tim Pool Reports Shooting At His House As Podcast Stirs Storm After Erika Kirk Divorce And Charlie Kirk Gay Talk
