Tim riffs on a bizarre Clubhouse room pairing Mark Zuckerberg with Abu Ghraib's Lindy England, mocks identity-obsessed Clubhouse rooms, and tells the story of a journalist named Felicia publicly outing tech guys for saying "the r-word" in what they thought were private conversations, then deleting and reassigning blame.
- Zuckerberg and Lindy England from Abu Ghraib are doing a room together on Clubhouse.
- Lindy England is Tim and Ray's favorite reference because most people have no idea who she is—the girl with the cigarette from Abu Ghraib.
- Tim plans to do rooms on Clubhouse like 'How to Be a Cancer Influencer' and 'Prison Influencer.'
- Clubhouse rooms are filled with people whining about lack of representation while smart people do actual work.
- Example of a Clubhouse room: addressing the lack of Native American lesbian trap music producers.
- Real people get terrified on Clubhouse when thousands listen; a coked-out DJ in Miami doesn't realize journalists are recording.
- A journalist named Taylor Lawrence is trying to catch someone who said the r-word on Clubhouse, claiming nobody corrected them.
- The journalist is dropping a dime on some guy for saying the r-word, and Tim questions what that even means.
- Tim doubts it's a joke—the journalist is ratting people out, possibly without understanding the room was meant to be uncensored.
- Tim compares tech bros on Clubhouse to animals on safari: you don't want to see cheetahs eating with a tablecloth, you want to see them as they really are.
- The journalist deleted her original tweet accusing someone of saying the r-word, then accused someone else instead—slandering people and correcting herself.
- Tim criticizes journalists sitting on Clubhouse trying to catch tech bros instead of reporting on dark money and the actual problems they've created.
