He closes by urging listeners to disconnect from algorithm-driven online life and have real friends, returns to mocking the Manhattan Beach go-kart cop as a fake hero, and signs off joking about pandemic incest.
- Tim argues the happiest people are disconnected from algorithms and Silicon Valley, living lives not designed by technocrats.
- The Manhattan Beach cop stopping a fat guy from crossing the street is positioned as a hero despite working in an idyllic paradise instead of dangerous areas like Compton or Watts.
- Tim criticizes the cop driving around Manhattan Beach on a go-cart guarding an ice cream shop while thinking he's protecting society during dissolution.
- Living with the virus is necessary because Tim can't accept a cop in a beautiful seaside town eating a popsicle and believing he's a hero.
- Tim questions what society should do for non-heroes and whether they might be heroes in training who just need acknowledgment to become actual heroes.
- If the lockdown doesn't end, Tim predicts a lot of women will become pregnant with their fathers' babies.
