from Time To Retire · #116
Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
3 minA seemingly-too-strange-to-be-true story about Michael Cohen's son being protected by Kazakh military because they mistook him for a relative of Sacha Baron Cohen, followed by more riffing on 'retiring' from conspiracy nostalgia.
- 35:03Tim knows someone whose kid goes to school with Michael Cohen's son, and relays a story about Cohen visiting Kazakhstan where military wouldn't point guns at him because they thought he was related to Sacha Baron Cohen.
- 35:47Tim announces he's retiring from conspiracy theory because there's no novelty left in it anymore.
- 36:09Nostalgia for the old days of conspiracies, when people actually believed in them and they were fun.
- 36:30Tim argues he's never seen conspiracy information actually materialize into real change, except for one guy who went to a pizza parlor with a gun and then gave up.
- 36:54Even Trump wasn't swayed by assassination conspiracy theories, and nothing ever really gets changed by this stuff.
- 37:23Tim decides he has to tap out completely from conspiracy talk and is done with it.
- 37:33Someone asked Tim if they'd do a "Who's Johnny" reunion, but the host is dead so there's no reunion possible.
