Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
2 minThey discuss Louis C.K.'s controversial leaked set mocking Parkland shooting survivors and non-binary teens, comparing it to Tim's own similar joke, and debate whether it's Louie testing edgy material too soon after his scandal.
- 19:38Tim introduces Louis C.K.'s comeback set and jokes about a Parkland bit he claims was better than Louis's version.
- 19:57Tim describes Louis's bit: wanting to shoot the Parkland kids because they had Twitter followers and he was angry about it.
- 20:13The initial leaked audio seemed edgy but manageable until more context emerged—Louis was telling his doctor he doesn't eat ice cream anymore and calling himself a fat Jew.
- 20:37Louis added more offensive material, including calling himself a faggot and making jokes about Asian guys, prompting Tim to note that not all of his comeback material is great.
- 21:01Ron Bennington made the best point: Louis cheated and has to come back gradually, like a husband sneaking back into his own house, not at full confidence.
- 21:18The Long Island audience let Louis say whatever he wanted, and in the recording he mentions David Hogg while saying "fuck kill."
