Living in the Ruins: Bad Baby, Trump, and 'the Right TV'

Riffing on a comment about doing 'the right TV,' Tim argues society has already collapsed into absurdity (a millionaire baby influencer, Trump as president, Jersey Shore's revival) and mocks people still trying to strategize their media careers rationally.
- Tim explains why he's glad to be getting out of comedy culture and gravitates more toward LA's individualistic vibe.
- The final stage of success in comedy means walking it alone in LA, unlike New York where comedians travel in packs to clubs.
- Older comedy clubs all have the same dated aesthetic, and some YouTube creators are actually more interesting and entertaining than traditional comedians.
- Tim mentions he's doing a podcast with Logan Paul soon but won't say when or how.
- Someone in a green room told Tim it's not about TV anymore, it's about doing 'the right TV.'
- Tim dismisses the idea of finding the right TV when we're living in the ruins—Bad Baby is a millionaire, Trump is president, and Jersey Shore got renewed.
- In this climate, the right TV is running around with an AR-15 to get press attention.
