What is the Tim Payne phenomenon and why is it significant?

New Zealand Blood is seeking donations for blood or plasma by encouraging you to bring along family, friends and workmates to participate. Book your bloody important meeting today and tell them we sent you. Between Two Bears is proudly brought to you by One New Zealand.

As you know, my default is generally glass half empty. But I'm glass half full. We're getting very close to going to the World Cup. And I can't seem to escape Tim Payne on my feed. And I've been having good chuckle at the really loose connections that different accounts are making to this Tim Payne phenomenon that has blossomed. T-Pain. Your favourite T-Pain? There's a lot of T-Pains out there. I'm in love with the stripper. Yeah, I mean, that was my ringtone. Remember when you used to have songs as ringtones? Yeah. Actually, to loop it back to a story, there was a Fiji versus New Zealand game years ago and there was a press conference about a player that couldn't get in on a visa and I was sat at the top table of the press conference and T-Pain, I'm in love with the stripper rang and broke, I think it was Craig Stanaway was asking this question.
It was a really serious question to the CEO of New Zealand Football at the time. I think it was Graeme Seater or Michael Glading or someone like that. And it was that. And I was like, this is embarrassing. It's New Zealand immigration. There's some sort of a way to get out of it.
What happened to ringtones?
Songs on ringtones. I mean, people stopped ringing each other. I had a system of a down one for a while.
Lonely day. That's aggressive. Oh, okay. I thought you were going to say chop suey or something like that. No. Yeah. Yeah, bring them back. Yeah. No, everyone just has their phone on vibrate now. Anyway.
Anyway. My whole social media feed is just all Tim Payne related.
Yeah, it's amazing. It's amazing. So we're recording this on Tuesday. By the time this goes out, he's probably got another million followers. But for those that don't know, all white Tim Payne got singled out by an Argentinian content creator called El Scarco. I think you're going to have to improve your Spanish pronunciation as we get through this. So this guy, he's got 900,000 followers, this Argentinian guy. And they decided to shine the spotlight on the player of the World Cup with the lowest social following.
How did Tim Payne gain popularity so quickly?
Did he really have the lowest social following or is that? Well, he had 4,000 followers. Yeah. Which, you know. Pretty low for someone at a World Cup.
I think he's gone to the lowest ranked team and then picked the lowest. Because I reckon there'll be players out there that have a lower social media number than Tim Payne.
Yeah, maybe. Anyway, we're getting into the weeds. So he's shown the spotlight on him and encouraged all of his followers and everyone to go and like his stuff and just blow him up and make him the face and the name of the World Cup. And he's bloody done it. It's crazy. 4.1 million followers.
Isn't that the most followed New Zealand sporting account?
