6 minTim mocks people who are addicted to political arguing, then tells the story of meeting Ben Shapiro's sister and her fiancé backstage, mocking their conservative real estate small talk, plus a Corinne Fisher tangent.
- 21:55Tim argues that most political activists are just chasing dopamine from Twitter fights, not actually trying to help anyone or push their ideas meaningfully.
- 22:20Politics attracts people whose lives are empty and who don't like their jobs—they're addicted to arguing, basically sports with more conflict.
- 22:54Tim says he might run for comptroller, claiming he has lots of proposals, solutions, and people who say they don't feel safe with him in their community.
- 23:27Meeting Ben Shapiro's sister backstage at an event—she immediately asks what got him back there, and he wanted to say something crude about Jordan Peterson but didn't.
- 24:14Tim doesn't connect with meet-and-greets or VIP ticket experiences; he finds them hollow regardless of how much time someone spends with an artist.
- 24:52Shapiro's sister and her fiancé just got their marriage certificate and are planning to live in a red state so he can keep his guns.
- 25:45The fiancé says they'll move to Texas or Florida to find conservative Jews, and Tim is tired of every sentence being political posturing instead of just normal conversation.
- 26:48Tim takes a picture with Peterson and "little Alex," describing Alex as looking like an inbred syphilitic boy king who would carve up chambermaids.
- 27:07Corinne Fisher was joking about a guy threatening to kill her during her set, and when she called security, Tim suggested she should just edit the bit and get better instead.
- 27:24Peterson's daughter was staring at them while Corinne Fisher was laughing, and Tim wonders if she hates fat people, unsure of her age.
