Tim argues that conspiracy researchers withhold cooperation because they're all hoping for a bigger TV or movie deal down the line, using Edward Snowden as a comparison point for himself.
- Tim notes he's had FBI agents and bestselling authors on the show, with guests saying his interviews were better than network television ones.
- Everyone pursuing big stories is waiting for the movie deal or TV show contract, not necessarily eager to appear on his platform.
- Tim defends that wanting a payday is completely rational—these people need some benefit to justify appearing anywhere.
- Smileyface Killer could make a great movie, but that's exactly the problem keeping these stories off his show.
- Tim says if he'd had Edward Snowden, he probably would've just gone to Chili's because Americans don't actually care about surveillance.
