Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
2 minCallback to an actual ABC pilot Tim wrote on with Nick Mullen involving talking to slaves, then a tangent into radio host Delilah's absurdly saccharine advice and her habit of playing Celine Dion no matter the tragedy, and Steve Rannazzisi's fake 9/11 survivor lie.
- 38:35Tim wrote on an ABC pilot where Nick Mullen talks to slaves, getting permission from them to say the N-word when referring to Donald Trump.
- 39:05The pilot featured guests like Esther Koo, Ali Wong, and Reza Aslan coming to talk to dead slaves through Nick as a medium.
- 39:17Delilah's tragic loss of her son sent her into soft rock and elevator music as a coping mechanism.
- 39:37People complained about the elevator music on her show until it was removed, though Tim thought it was actually nice background music.
- 39:52Tim wonders if elevator music got ruined forever because it was playing in the Twin Towers during 9/11.
- 40:16Steve Buscemi supposedly made it out of the towers, though Tim has only briefly met him.
