Tim recounts being in Miss Rice's history class in Hicksville, NY when he learned of the attacks, screaming 'inside job' before knowing any facts, and joking darkly about wishing he'd lost a parent like Pete Davidson.
- Tim was sitting in Holy Trinity Diocesan High School in Hicksville, New York during 9/11, in Miss Rice's history class.
- Show prep for the podcast takes hours and days, unlike Tim's complete lack of preparation in high school.
- The teacher was called out of the room, then brought back in to announce attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
- The Pentagon being hit made Tim realize this was war, since it's the civilian military command center.
- Tim's first instinctual reaction was to scream 'inside job' in class without even knowing what had happened.
- He then started screaming 'there are no planes' despite not knowing there were planes involved.
- One of Tim's classmates lost his father; Tim quickly called his own dad to confirm he wasn't in the World Trade Center.
- Tim jokes about losing a parent on 9/11 being the greatest moment in someone's life, referencing Pete Davidson.
- He claims he would have strapped both his parents into United 93 if it would have launched his comedy career like it did for Davidson.
- Tim mocks candlelight vigils and missing people by joking about telling his kids 'bin laden took her.'
