Tim and Ray discuss the disturbing film L.I.E. about a pedophile on Long Island, joking about remaking it playing every part with Brian Cox.
- Tim saw L.I.E. when it came out and found it disturbing.
- The character of the father was amazing and everything about the film was unsettling.
- Tim's interpretation: the film basically says Long Island parents are so bad that a pedophile would be better for the kids.
- This messaging reads like someone who spent five minutes on Long Island and decided kids would be better off with a child predator.
- Tim imagines a spring commencement years from now at a new university where Heather Heying hands out diplomas.
- A group of right-wing figures including Andrew Sullivan, Katie Herzog, Lex Fridman, and others are supposedly involved in this new institution.
- Tim says the other side has gone further than people realize—they're not letting anyone maintain legitimacy anymore.
- If he joins the University of Austin, Tim proposes splitting off to start the University of San Antonio with hardcore alt-right figures like David Dumazeu, Owen Benjamin, and Richard Spencer.
