Tim continues defending his love for the deadpan weight-loss podcast, noting its lack of humor is what makes it great, and mentions it's sponsored by meal bars and a deli.
- Tim claims to be a big podcaster and that this show is his show.
- Weight struggles and going back and forth—Tim was 235 pounds at his heaviest while drinking, now 180-185.
- Tim reveals he was actually 330 to 340 pounds at his biggest.
- The host's Thanksgiving bit about eating and family taking over your life is cited as particularly compelling.
- Tim stopped going to AA and explains his reservations about sitting in a room discussing booze for 40 years.
- AA has a five percent success rate, but Tim credits it with teaching him skills he then moved on from.
- AA meetings are super depressing and reminded Tim of church, which he did for 21 years and found upsetting.
- Attending an AA meeting ruins drinking for casual drinkers but is necessary acknowledgment for alcoholics.
- Tim has a recurring joke about LA sobriety where people claim to be sober while smoking pot, doing shrooms, and casually mentioning other drugs.
- Tim says he's only said nice things about the podcast and doesn't want to plug it.
