Tim opens by mocking the Academy Awards, Joaquin Phoenix's PETA-style speech about milk and animal cruelty, and Hollywood's increasing disconnection from ordinary Americans facing an opioid epidemic and healthcare crises.

In this bit10 moments
  • Joaquin Phoenix went up at the Oscars and talked about milk.
  • Tim on Joaquin Phoenix lecturing about animal abuse while Pacino and De Niro are literal chupacabras on the red carpet.
  • Brad Pitt did impeachment jokes, given more screen time than Adam Schiff got during the actual impeachment.
  • The Russia investigation and Mueller probe proved nothing after years of buildup and media hype.
  • Tim suspects Hollywood's animal-rights crusade is a COINTELPRO operation designed to distract from real issues.
  • People are on heroin, working three jobs, going bankrupt from medical bills, but celebrities lecture about factory farming.
  • The privilege required to believe milk consumption is the biggest problem facing the country.
  • Tim on meat and dairy: people eat animals to survive, some abstain from animal products, but the crusade to end all consumption is insane.
  • America is a dead empire like Enron, and politicians are still arguing about deli menus while the country collapses.
  • We're done as a country, and the focus is on milk.
