I think I'm realizing that what gets most irritating about Tim is that he'll go on and on monologuing about a topic to his guests, bullshitting his way through a topic for 5 minutes straight, with full confidence as though he knows exactly what he's talking about and is delivering some new radical brilliant idea, while only having a surface-level understanding of it and nothing terribly insightful.
I often compare Tim to Jon Stewart, in that both have pretensions to being these knowledgeable truth-tellers, straddling the political divide & calling out both sides, but when you dig into their content, it is just empty. With all the talk online about "Oppenheimer", & the morality of using the atomic bombs to end World War II, I had the chance to share around this clip, from quote a few years ago. In it, Bill Whittle, of PJ Media, breaks down Stewart's claims that dropping the bombs was a war crime & his, at best, surface level knowledge of the event:
Tim has the same essence to much of his talking points. & much like Jon Stewart, his audience will consume this without a second thought.

Tim is back in the studio, & had Dave Landau as the guest.
Ian & Hannah co-hosted.
Dave does his level best to lighten things up, but sadly, Tim is easing back into his soporific self, breezing by his jokes.
Also, since the topic of drowning came up, I want to let readers know something important:
You are far less buoyant in fresh water than in salt water, meaning you sink far easier in lakes/ponds/rivers.
Even though it may seem easier, due to how close the shore can be, it can be more taxing to swim in them.
Clip Collection:
-Tim says what his mother's favourite coffee is. I wonder what Tim's father, who allegedly has a
YouTube channel, thinks of his son's coffee venture:
-Tim did not go through surgery, he went through an Eddie Bravo-endorsed Mexican "Cellular Performance Institute" treatment:
-Ian is, & shall always be, the best part of the show. Here is a
link to the video Ian was in for Dave's show, Normal World:
-It took only 12 minutes into his first show back for Tim to make a comparison to a Marvel film:
-Tim thinks that because we now have a border wall with Mexico, & laws on abortion restrictions, it is indicative of collapsing culture & community ties, with no one having morals in common...
This is the Jon Stewart-esque take I discussed above. The moment you dig into this, & realise border control & aborton restrictions have existed for thousands of years, it starts to fall apart:
-Dave makes a troon joke, everyone else is silent...:
-Hannah says women think about love all the time, not being a girl boss:
-Ian & Dave have good repartee:
