- Comedian, podcast host and self proclaimed eternal learner, Dan Cummins can not understand what happened to truth in media. If it bleeds, it leads. Why do we allow sensationalism to determine what news we consume. What would happen if we actually listened to the facts? Dan is a stand-up comic who has appeared on The Tonight Show, Conan, Comedy Central, Netflix, TBS, NBC, VH1, CBS, Showtime, and more. He’s released five albums on Warner Brothers Records and is one of the most listened to comics on Pandora. He worked as a producer on numerous reality shows in Los Angeles such as Duck Dynasty. And for the last two years, Dan has hosted Timesuck - a podcast blending education and comedy that has been written up in numerous “best of” podcast lists and has spent over two years on the iTunes charts for the world’s top 100 most popular comedy podcasts. He lives in Couer d’Alene, Idaho with his wife, Lynze two kids, Kyler and Monroe, and two “fur babies”, Penny and Ginger. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
The amount of resistance it took for him to not say “what is big deal??” after bringing Chikatilo up is tangible.
I was a little surprised he didn’t.
I am blown away someone in the audience didn't throw it in either!
@@lukekemper6137 Are you related to Ed?
I’ve always wondered
Hail Nimrod!
"This is my gym, Connie!" ...crushed it, dude.
Best tedx ever!
3 out of 5 stars.
Hail nimrod !
Wouldn't change a thing
My favorite part is the massive amount of timesuck references in this comment section. Anyone who looks at this and doesn't know the show is gonna be extremely confused.
Great TedX really got my Zapples going
cory oshode M O T H E R
Makes me wanna put my pets heads on STICKS!
I just want to know WHAT IS BIG DEAL with fake news.
MOTHER!!!
Great Job, Master of Suckdom. The space lizards are very proud.
hail nimrod
@@forbes419123 praise Bojangles
Hail lucifina and praise MFM
Mother would be proud zapple
Goddamn lizards!! Lol
I love Dan Cummins! He's so intelligent and eloquently spoken. I know that's he's goofy by default as a comic, but he really cares about spreading knowledge and making sure the truth is out there. We need more people like Dan in the world!
-Proud Meat Sack ♥️
Let's stop short of "eloquent" I think he would agree 😂
Eloquently spoken? Idk. Intelligent? Yes, Dan knows a good bit and I like him, but idk… has he ever taken an IQ test? That’s the only way we could actually judge his intelligence critically and scientifically..
But no, I think Dan, like a lot of us, has a lot of preconceived notions about what’s right and wrong, and it’s because he’s missing a few critical pieces of information. One has to do with free will and the concept of that in general. And another has to do with, you don’t have to actually be a follower or ideologically aligned with liberals or the left at ALL. You can have many liberal values, but not be on the “liberal” side at all… I don’t think he gets that quite yet.
Randomly did a search for this today and was excited to see it had been posted. This is a prime example of why I'm proud to be a Space Lizard!
It showcases the best of what Dan Cummins has to offer - it's thought-provoking, thoroughly-researched, entertaining, well-written work combined with compassion, integrity, and humility. The Master Sucker has made me laugh, cry, and _think_ once again.
Hail Nimrod!
So proud to be a Space Lizard right now! Hail Nimrod!!
Yamo timesuck?
The earth is flat and the US states government sent 26 CHIHUAHUAS INTO ORBIT FOR NO REASON. Casey Anthony also runs a daycare in Florida that’s only lost 3 children this year.
Hail Nimrod?
Praise lucifina!
Good boy Bojangles!
Hail Triple M!
Praise the almighty Lucifina!!
What is big deal? Chikatilo know all of these fact plus is great wrastler! Put on crusty sweat pants and come into woods for vodka drink and I will show you!
I have anxiety about violence and people. hearing the master sucker say that crime is not as bad as the media says was unbelievably comforting. I am proud to be a space lizard and will continue my quest of curiosity. HAIL NIMROD! PRAISE BOJANGLES! AND HAIL LUCAFINA for her devious ways.
8th grade Social Studies teacher here. Thank you for sharing this message. It needs to be heard and shared. Love the Podcast and keep up the great work! Hail Nimrod!
Dan is one of the most logical presenters, most original comedians and nicest guy to meet before or after a show. Timesuck is a fantastic podcast and despite the fact that, yes, he does go a little crazy, he provides clear information that teaches and entertains. Thank you sir.
Such an encouraging message and well delivered.
All hail Nimrod!
Man, Nimrod is so so pleased. Loved it!
HAIL NIMROD!!
HAIL LUCIFINA! PRAISE BOJANGLES!
Hi Adam 🖖🏻
I genuinely hope you become an educator for an institution someday. I don’t care where. If I have kids, I’d pay any amount in any area for them to be blessed with educators like you. You’re what this world needs, someone who makes learning fun.
Awesome ted talk.....nailed it 3/5 stars!
Another GREAT Tedx Talk. Mr. Cummins I thank you for continuing to try to make everyone think a bit more before they add their two cents to a conversation.
I really needed this today. The world can be so depressing but when it's analyzed and explained like this, it all puts it into perspective. Great video.
Great job with that statistic memory, Dan! Hail Nimrod!
Hail nimrod. Gotta love our master sucker. Thanks i needed that. We all did
Great job Dan! It was an honor meeting you in SLC! Thank you for all you do!
Flawless! Great work! Love the content and love your podcast, Timesuck! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Glad to see such good and thought provoking points. You did an awesome job Dan. Hail Nimrod!
Dan, I loved this. Like all of your work you did impeccable. Makes me proud just to be a fan and to see you on this stage graced by so many intellectuals.
Delivery and content were excellent in my opinion.
Awesome job Dan!!! Love it!
Love it. Wouldn't change a thing. 3 outta 5 stars.
God! I love this man... no he isn't the most intelligent or articulate person, but he is very interested in the world and learning new things. He's so funny and scarsatic with a twist of dark humor... can't ask for more. But there is he's a great dad and husband. Thank you Dan for all you do, you enlighten my day and make me laugh. ❤ this Bad Magician
Hail Nimrod, praise Bojangles, and BEGONE LUCIFINA!
You can send Lucifina my way. I love that sultry vixen :)
I dun seen her first! LOL
Hail Nimrod!
This is really a powerful post. It is based on some interesting facts. Now that I think about it it does not surprise me. He is so right that everything is driven be the almighty dollar.
Hail Lucifena. The Suckmaster is a legend.
Absolutely perfect. 3/5 stars
I’ve been putting off watching this for too long. Now that I finally did, I’m not at all disappointed
Hail Nimrod!
Hail Nimrod! This was great!
I dig that the suckmaster acknowledged the twofold responsibility of sensationalism. Crushed it.
Thanks Dan! This talk was delivered with your usual thoughtful and intelligent points and with your highly professional stage manner. We can all stand to be encouraged to think critically. Nimrod is pleased, and so am I. Best regards and I'll see you at The Gathering in August! Space Lizard, Brian
Is it ironic that I was watching the new Ted Bundy movie when I came across this? Anyway...Hail Nimrod!
Dan seriously effin rules.
Beautiful oration, sir. Very eye-opening, inspirational, and refreshing. Thank you for your message. I hope society will embrace this message and continue to improve. We obviously need critical thinking, trust for experts and each other, and unity more than ever. I hope your thoughts will be heard and repeated widely and endlessly.
Hail Nimrod!!
Lucfina be gone! The Master Sucker just dropped the mic
Hail Nimrod

Amen. Preach it brother. Quality/diverse researcher is our key to a successful future.
6 flat earthers do not like this video
It's up to 26 now :)
What Is Big Deal?!
run for president!!!
I think trusting "experts" (or anyone for that matter) comes from their ability to explain to the average person the answers to any questions they may have.
Nimrod is pleased.
Took to long to watch this. Great job. Funny and great information to help you open your mind and think. I didn't think about the "if it bleeds, it reads" until you gave the timesuck episode stats. Good stuff.
Oooofta! Oooofta! Puts the talkie walkie on the screenie weenie!
Great job, Dan. Loved the subject and the presentation. No mush mouth here!
Could not be more proud to be a Space Lizard!
Loved this!! I think this could really help some people put things into perspective, great job!!

Welcome to my JedTalk.
Hear this , Dan Cummins has a TED talk
Here comes the spoons......
Not a single air banjo solo.......
He should be a comedian
Hail Nimrod! *A cat did not type this.
Dan Cummins......take one for the Team and get with Mike Rowe. The resulting love child will rule us all with benevolent indifference.
If it bleeds blue, it leads you!!
I feel like he mentioned on Timesuck not having begun preparing for this a…week before he had to give it? Even more impressive when considering that!
Bojangles frowns upon objective and advocacy journalism. Where are all the Meatsacks?
check out the big brain on Brad"..Awesome job!
