from The Advocate · #143
Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
5 minTim mocks listeners who accuse him of being a regime-change propagandist over offhand Venezuela comments, listing his mundane real life (two pairs of jeans, a Queens roommate) as proof he's not a deep state puppet, then tells the story of an angry longtime fan who messaged him about equating far-left and far-right before blocking him.
- 6:57Why can't a mature country make jokes about public figures like Meghan McCain or Michael Jackson without fear of backlash?
- 7:16Tim contrasts the edgy comedy he'd like to see with the groaning audiences at modern SNL, identifying them as young professional liberals.
- 7:40Communists got angry at him for saying Maduro in Venezuela is probably not a good guy, and for not advocating regime change like others did.
- 8:04He clarifies that on the podcast he and Mike Racine said upfront they don't know what's happening in Venezuela and don't trust the government.
- 8:29People send him messages calling him a deep state Zionist shill, which he finds absurd given he owns two pairs of jeans and lives in Queens with a roommate.
- 9:24A listener who used to message him got personally offended and angry after he said something he didn't agree with, taking it like a friend's betrayal.
- 10:41Tim explains the striking factual overlaps between far left and far right positions: both oppose American militarism, don't support Israel, and aren't fans of capitalism.
