7 minTim and Ray move on to mocking conspiracy theorist David Icke's rambling two-and-a-half-hour Wembley Stadium show, his inspirational-poster style truisms about the world being 'mad,' and his soccer reminiscences mixed with lizard-people theories.
- 36:16David Icke discusses robotic cow milkers replacing dairy farm workers in upstate New York, claiming they now need computer science degrees.
- 36:58Tim points out the absurdity of pitching automation to UN ambassadors from war-torn countries that don't even have cows.
- 37:30No kid in Buffalo ever dreamed of working on a dairy farm, even when that was an actual job option.
- 37:49Tim describes Icke as a folksy globalist, the Norman Rockwell of depopulation.
- 38:13Conservatives complain about celebrity politics while having a celebrity president, which makes the free speech argument incoherent.
- 38:46You can't claim to be the free speech people if you don't want Meryl Streep to say things that upset you.
- 39:19Meryl Streep's Golden Globes speech was dumb, claiming the press and actors are vilified and that immigrants make all the great films.
- 40:14Tim addresses the Trump disabled reporter impression claim, noting he does that gesture constantly to signify many things, not necessarily mockery.
- 40:55Bad comedy results when everybody's lined up on one side politically, and activists who never help anyone think tweeting is activism.
- 41:41A show fan wants to get David Icke on the show but got his number the wrong way, so Tim offers to do it for lizard defense charity.
- 42:23David Icke's Wembley speech opening features him insisting he's not crazy while everyone else is.
