Tim runs through upcoming live tour dates, then highly praises comedian Tyler Rivera for his unfiltered takes, especially a clip mocking Monique for suing Netflix and not being "one of the voices of our time."
- Tim announces tour dates: Bridgeport Connecticut December 5-7, Providence December 13-14, Timonium Maryland January 9-11, Las Vegas comedy festival.
- Tyler Rivera is running the Las Vegas festival and doesn't mind controversy—Tim calls him a real comic who puts himself out there without filtering.
- Tyler Rivera's roast of Monique suing Netflix is one of the funniest things Tim has seen, summing up why she's not getting the money she wants.
- Playing Tyler Rivera's monologue about Monique: she filed paperwork to sue Netflix claiming she deserves millions for a special.
- Tim attended Monique's show in Las Vegas and found it decent but not special-worthy; he's not a hater but doesn't think her talent matches her expectations.
- Rivera's line: "She's just not one of the voices of our time"—Tim calls this a perfect way to sum up the entire situation.
- The Vegas festival includes very funny comics on the lineup, though Tim jokes about some controversial names being part of the bill.
- Tim rewatches Rivera's Monique clip and laughs at the punchline again—the delivery of "she's not a voice of our time" is brutally funny.
- Rivera also reviewed Netflix's 15-minute special and was similarly blunt, questioning whether comics were told to kill or not kill on stage.
- Tim praises Rivera for living in Vegas, not LA, and delivering unvarnished, uncensored opinions regardless of whether people like them.
