Career Path, Red Eye, and Being Called a Monster on Grindr

• 44:30Tim explains he already has a staff job, so his next career move needs to be self-directed rather than another traditional position.
• 44:47He doesn't want to become known as a political guy because political fans are awful—they abandon you the moment you deviate from their expectations.
• 45:19Tim used to do Red Eye twice a month for over a year without pay.
• 45:38He was on Red Eye with John Based Out, the infomercial abs guy, and felt like he was participating in a deranged carnival.
• 46:06Tim decided not to do Red Eye again because making people laugh without tangible benefit while potentially being branded as a Fox News guy made it feel like a freak show.
• 46:49The real problem: Red Eye has negative potential for being branded that way but offers no actual benefit—no payment, no career boost.
• 47:21Tim made a point on Red Eye that Obama cried selectively about guns while presidents are generally sociopaths who control their emotions.
• 47:44The Daily Show clipped his Red Eye appearance, and he got a message on Grindr from someone calling him a monster for not caring that kids died.
• 47:57Tim received no payment for Red Eye but got publicly attacked and lumped into a montage with people making ten million a year.
