Riffing continues on baby names, Tim's own name origin story, and then returns to the identity-as-zero-sum-game concept, with Anna declaring socialism dead as of 2016.
- Tim plans to name the baby 'neoliberalism' or something similarly stupid.
- His parents named him Timmy because if he became a fat idiot, the name would fit perfectly—a reference to the stereotypical fat kid from childhood.
- Identity as capital creates a zero-sum game where Rachel Dolezal's appropriation takes opportunities away from actual Black women.
- Class consciousness and solidarity have completely evaporated into a hellscape of polite niceties while nobody addresses the real issues.
- Tim's podcasting partner believes socialism is over and should have been left behind in 2016.
