Tim plays actual audio clips from the scrapped interview with the confused academic investigator, mocking his vague and rambling answers about the killer's motive.
- The smiley face killer theory: young athletic college-aged males end up in rivers, possibly murdered by a cult rather than accidental drownings.
- Tim and crew interviewed an old man working the case who claimed to predict where victims would be found and withdraw ATM money every three hours to avoid suspicion.
- When Tim asked the detective about motive, he refused to release it, claiming it would cause copycat killings—a rationale Tim found absurd.
- Tim's theory: the detectives fill grieving families with false hope, extract money from them, then use it to buy Chinese food while doing no actual investigating.
- The Oxygen Network made a show exploiting the deaths of these drowning victims with three detectives who have no real leads and are just eating egg rolls in New York.
- Alice also made a horrible movie about the smiley face killers; that director previously rejected Tim's podcast offer, claiming Tim could appear on his instead despite having only 3,000 patrons.
- After American Psycho, Alice's filmography has been mostly garbage.
