Tim recalls listening to conservative shock jock Bob Grant with his grandmother, including Grant's controversial comment about Ron Brown's death and his catchphrase for callers, tying it to how he became a 'gay Republican.'
- Bob Grant's signature line: "You fake phony fraud, get off my phone" before kicking callers off the air.
- Bob Grant got kicked off WABC radio after Ron Brown died in a plane crash and Grant said the only good news would be finding out Brown's father also died.
- Tim's grandmother made him listen to Bob Grant and Rush Limbaugh on the drive to dance class and play practice.
- Tim claims that's how gay Republicans come to be: you go to dance class while listening to conservative talk radio.
- Someone on Instagram accused Tim of saying "a wife" instead of "husband" in a sketch and called it messed up.
- Tim explains the sketch depicts him as a demon real estate developer evicting nurses, then notes the critic actually wanted the character to be gay.
- Identity politics on social media rots people's brains, as evidenced by someone criticizing a satire's gender pronoun choices.
- Chris Cuomo doesn't have coronavirus, Tim notes, though the fever "softens" by the way he says it.
- When Cuomo says "the beast" and "his ways," Tim claims he means Jews.
