Tim compares America's slow societal decay to the fall of Rome, mocks the low bar for Andrew Cuomo's press conferences being called inspirational, and invents a graphic fake conspiracy called 'meatball gate' about the Cuomo brothers.
- Rome's decline took hundreds of years of gradual decay, like we're experiencing now — not the dramatic Attila moment people imagine.
- During Rome's long decline: payday loans, dumbing down of entertainment, theater getting worse — people complained the shows used to be funnier.
- Rome was founded on bloodlust and killing, then Christianity came in and ruined it — comparing Jesus to Andrew Cuomo as the softening force.
- Tim watched Andrew Cuomo speeches people worship and doesn't understand the appeal — the bar has dropped so low that not openly saying slurs counts as inspirational leadership.
- People are impressed by governors simply not calling people slurs publicly, even if they do it behind closed doors with family.
- Proposal to start a rumor called 'Meatball Gate' about the Cuomo brothers running a human trafficking ring involving meatballs held between their bodies during initiation rituals.
