Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
7 minTim rages about the promotional photo Netflix is using for his comedy special, describing his open-mouthed 'catching a fish' expression, comparing it to Jackie Gleason and Baloo, and threatening to tweet about it.
- 10:59Tim jokes that the real Wendy Thomas was a fat slob who would have held a knife to Dave Thomas's throat demanding he make the sandwich instead of giving it away.
- 11:38Fast food brands should go beyond playful Twitter feuds and get genuinely aggressive with each other, threatening violence and harm instead of corporate shade.
- 12:52Netflix sent Tim a promotional photo for his special that he describes as making him look dead and corpse-like, sparking a genuine meltdown.
- 13:49The photo's under-eye area looks like they cut skin off a white child's ass and attached it to his face.
- 14:27The final image captures Tim with his mouth agape like he's a bear catching a fish, or like he's sucking down a whole fish that was photoshopped out.
- 14:47If you're fat in the entertainment business, they want to make you into a big goofy buffoon like Jackie Gleason, not a hustler.
- 15:51Tim threatens to tweet that he loves Adolf Hitler and comedy if Netflix doesn't change the photo, and says they responded that they love Hitler too.
- 16:20The photo makes Tim look like a pig roast with an apple in his mouth instead of just closing his mouth or smiling for a normal picture.
- 16:47Tim is furious that the special is free on YouTube, giving away the content for free and eliminating incentive for people to subscribe.
- 17:00They should advertise the special in prisons since most of the people discussed on the show have evaded prison sentences.
