In this bit14 moments
  • Tim creates the character of sneakerhead Chris Hedges, a doomsday preacher who owns 2,000 pairs of colorful sneakers and admits it's his one weakness.
  • Chris Hedges never wears the same pair of shoes twice despite believing currency will fail and lecturing about extinction.
  • Tim imagines Chris Hedges owning a $20 million Scarface estate in Miami where he hangs out with people doing crocodyl.
  • Tim jokes about wanting to read an article where Chris Hedges reverses course and makes an intellectual case for Dogecoin.
  • Writing the same article repeatedly makes you a whore for attention, Tim says, even if your job is teaching prisoners.
  • Tim imagines Chris Hedges showing up to a prison reentry program and telling inmates the corporate oligarchs have pillaged all resources and all life on Earth will disappear.
  • The prison might have to fire Chris Hedges after his last visit sparked riots because inmates decided nothing matters.
  • Tim imagines Chris Hedges as a David Icke-style arena showman, walking out and screaming about the fifth-grade extinction.
  • David Icke got displaced by QAnon—now the conspiracy guy who talked about reptiles is the one who makes sense.
  • David Icke should do a retirement tour like Cher, one final run before hanging it up.
  • Funniest thing was watching David Icke in a big UK arena wax poetic about his days as a striker instead of getting to the lizards.
  • Everyone just wants to be famous—Chris Hedges and all these guys keep repeating themselves on Twitter to stay relevant.
  • Tim suggests he'll know it's all over when Chris Hedges moves to Miami.
