- Tim announces the show is being renamed from Tim Dillon's Going to Hell to The Tim Dillon Show.
- Tim got accused of exploiting artists after the contest announcement.
- Tim explains that a strong portfolio doesn't guarantee good submission work—he can still bomb at comedy shows despite his track record.
- If Tim uses a submitted sketch, he'll pay the artist; if he doesn't use it, no compensation.
- Some submissions included crude stick figures, like one depicting Tim saying Epstein did 9/11.
- Tim wants a loyal, mercenary fanbase willing to stick around long-term, not just people expecting free tickets.
- Tim's offer: submit art, and if used, receive several hundred to five hundred dollars.
- Tim argues that if someone has been exploited by even one podcast, it's probably their own fault.
