Tim pivots from Hurricane Ida's damage in New Orleans and NYC flooding into an extended riff mocking the D'Amelio Family reality show on Hulu, comparing it unfavorably to the Kardashians and imagining wild plotlines.
- Tim questions whether Hurricane Ida victims trapped without power are disappointed they can't watch the D'Amelio Show on Hulu.
- The D'Amelio Show features Charlie D'Amelio, a TikTok dancer with more followers than people on Earth, and her Connecticut family.
- Tim argues the show is boring compared to the Kardashians, who set the bar for reality TV by treating each other with suspicion and seeing one another mainly as brands.
- The entire D'Amelio Show revolves around the girls complaining to their family that the internet is mean and telling them to kill themselves.
- Tim loves the bit where the father keeps saying if it gets too much for the kids they'll move back to Connecticut, even as his daughter cries about daily suicide messages.
- The D'Amelio children are boring and stupid despite being savvy; the Kardashians were never children, which made them entertaining.
- Tim wishes the D'Amelio mother would grab one of the girls by the hair and tell her to shut up—that's the reality TV he wants to watch.
- Tim hopes the D'Amelio Show brings comfort to New Orleans residents suffering from Hurricane Ida, once they get their power back.
- The show is unnecessary unless it gets dark—the audience wants to see the father's point about things getting too much actually happen.
- If the older D'Amelio sister killed the younger one JonBenét Ramsey style, then they'd have a season two worth watching.
- Until something genuinely catastrophic happens on the show, the whole thing is unnecessary—unlike the power.
