Tim reads and reacts to an email from a NYT reporter trying to get quotes for a Joe Rogan profile, describes trying to call the reporter back to prank him, and lays out his policy of telling all press to respectfully f off.
- A New York Times reporter reached out asking for comment on a Joe Rogan profile, which Tim immediately dismissed.
- Tim explains that 'Rogan profile' is code for a hit piece.
- How reporters disguise hit pieces as approved, positive coverage by claiming they just want to share the love.
- Tim knows how people twist words, so he tells the reporter to do the work and watch the show instead.
- Tim's policy: he will never give quotes about anyone else that could be taken out of context or used to hurt them.
- His answer to the press is always respectfully fuck off, with one exception: UK tabloids when promoting his shows there.
