He jokes about not needing video because of his looks, riffs on listening to Stern and Limbaugh growing up, and continues justifying why this particular episode had to be released as-is.
- Tim explains he released this audio-only episode because not releasing it would have been cowardly, and people have told him it's really good.
- He acknowledges he's said and done things that made him look stupid and out of touch, and has been wrong about facts before.
- Tim believes he's part of a small group willing to say what they believe because he's not afraid his fanbase will desert him as long as he's funny and makes sense.
- Most people in the industry are terrified and cowering, trying to get fed crumbs, which Tim calls a horrible way to live.
- What matters to him is putting out something he likes that makes him laugh or interests him, rather than chasing financial reward.
