- Tim jokes about crashing his car and being a big truck after discussing America's strength.
- Speculation that Springsteen said racist things during the DUI arrest, with 24 pages redacted from the report.
- Tim imagines Springsteen screaming "I'm the Boss" and "I'm a white man born in the USA" at the officer.
- Jeep went through with the commercial despite Springsteen's November DUI arrest because people enjoy drunk celebrities.
- Jeep Grand Cherokee buyers don't care that Springsteen is a drunk, just like they wouldn't care if Woody Allen was the spokesperson.
