Tim discusses the emerging Chris D'Elia allegations in detail, his own limited personal interactions with D'Elia, distinguishing between legal adult hookups and underage messaging, and mocking his own history of being near collapsing projects and institutions.
- Chris D'Elia accused of pursuing an underage girl.
- Tim has spoken to D'Elia three times at the Comedy Store and found him pleasant, but says this doesn't excuse disturbing allegations.
- D'Elia cultivated a mainstream celebrity fanbase — Machine Gun Kelly, Eminem, Justin Bieber — unlike Tim's own trajectory.
- Everyone knew D'Elia was successful with women; fans would approach him aggressively after shows.
- Tim contrasts D'Elia's appeal to his own experience — he leaves comedy shows in an Uber with a frustrated Asian driver, not adoring fans.
- If adult women are angry about D'Elia's behavior, that's on them; women have agency and can make choices.
- Allegations involving underage girls are a criminal and moral problem that should be handled in court.
- A 19-year-old who goes to a guy's hotel room and finds he's not a gentleman has a learning experience; that's different from underage involvement.
- The court of public opinion will determine whether people want to do business with or befriend D'Elia over the allegations.
- Tim hopes the underage allegations aren't true.
