YouTuber Tim Pool, the host of the popular Timcast IRL podcast, was forced to evacuate the set of his show during a livestream this week after allegedly hearing of a “potentially credible threat.”
During a recent livestream of the popular Timcast IRL podcast on Wednesday, host Tim Pool and his crew were forced to evacuate the set after allegedly receiving a “potentially credible threat.” At around 8:30 p.m. CT as host Ian Crossland was speaking, crew members entered the set and spoke to Pool who quickly said “we have to evacuate the building.”
The stream remained online, but the cast and crew left the building quickly, a clip of which can be seen below:

Pool discussed the situation on Twitter, stating that police were on the scene:
Louder With Crowder reports that Pool has been the victim of “swatting” multiple times in recent months. Swatting is a term used to describe when an individual calls in a fake dangerous situation to a police department and provides the address of their target as the location. This often results in a police SWAT team arriving, and in some cases has resulted in the death of innocent people.
On Wednesday night another YouTuber, Jeremy Hambly, — known online as The Quartering — indicated that he too had been the victim of swatting:
The individual responsible for the swatting remains unknown.
