Tim revisits his 'joke' about strapping a bomb to a toddler to get the government's attention, and recalls telling fans to join ISIS, arguing these are commentary on people's empty online outrage.
- Tim pitches a joke about strapping a bomb to a toddler and sending it into Grand Central Station weekly to get the government's attention.
- He describes performing the bit on stage with a toddler walk, noting only certain cynical people in the audience find it funny.
- Tim and Ray encouraged their fans to join ISIS and move to Syria, framing it as travel and respecting people's commitment to causes.
- He admits he'd feel a little proud if his friend Ryan, a personal trainer and DJ, joined ISIS and was photographed in a Jeep Grand Cherokee with a Kalashnikov.
- The audience doesn't want edgy material anymore—they prefer SNL-level silliness rather than acknowledging the government is a murderous death cult.
- Tim argues that thinking of the government as a murderous death cult is funnier than thinking of it as silly, because it reflects the reality that life means nothing to these people.
- To reach older boomer audiences who have ruined the world, you need a website and URL; they love Facebook but won't find you on Twitch or TikTok.
- Tim promotes his website at timdillonsgoingtohell.com for people without an online presence to build audience reach.
