In this bit5 moments
  • 10:42Tim reads a Comet Pizza ad that becomes increasingly absurd, veering into references to secret pizza parties, shipping crates, and ping-pong.
  • 11:56The Pizzagate connection explained: Comet Pizza's owner James Alefantis is linked to John Podesta and Clinton associates through his role as a DC socialite.
  • 12:32Alefantis's deleted Instagram supposedly contained creepy pictures of children, which he claims were reposted by alt-right conspiracy theorists.
  • 13:02Tim notes the Pizzagate narrative is always framed as an alt-right or Trump fan conspiracy, though there's allegedly chatter about something actually going on.
  • 13:24This show doesn't seek out Illuminati pedophile cults—they find the show instead.
