Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
8 minTim tells an extended story about his distant cousin Bobby Lopez, the EGOT-winning composer (Book of Mormon, Frozen), who is a genius but completely detached from the family; includes the Outback Steakhouse Sydney Sinful Sunday saga with his institutionalized mother, his uncle mentioning the Emmy win in an elevator, and Lopez's cold, self-serious Oscar speech.
- 1:49Tim believes the logical endpoint of his journey is going hard into Marxism.
- 2:30He jokes that once the show ends, he's joining Antifa and throwing rocks at bankers instead of wasting time on white nationalists.
- 3:26His second or third cousin once removed is Bobby Lopez, an EGOT winner who doesn't look or act like family at all.
- 4:17Bobby wrote the music for Book of Mormon, Avenue Q, and Frozen, and won two EGOTs as the youngest in history.
- 4:36Despite all this success, none of it matters to their relationship—Bobby couldn't care less if the entire Dillon family burned to death.
- 5:38Bobby grew up in a different world, met Tim once as a child actor, and was always distant from the family.
- 6:05Tim took his mother out of the mental institution to get her Sydney Sinful Sunday at Outback, but they don't make it anymore.
- 7:29Uncle Steve shows up with Wendy's double stacks and excitedly tells Tim's mother that Bobby won the EGOT—the most irrelevant thing to tell her.
- 8:42At his EGOT acceptance speech, Bobby told his wife and daughters 'this is not for you,' making clear his accomplishments are his alone.
- 9:11Tim mocks celebrities at the Oscars calling actors by nicknames like 'Timmy' for Chalamet, pretending they're buddies.
