Tim discusses how the Netflix docuseries Cheer handled cheerleader Jerry Harris's arrest on child sex abuse charges, reacting to the show's tone and Monica Aldama's response.
- Jerry Harris from Cheer is a pedophile who became active on the dark web.
- Cheer contestants from small-town Texas have two years of respect and status as cheerleaders, then their lives fall apart when they start dating abusive boyfriends.
- Monica Aldama is a legendary and attractive cheerleading coach, but one of her star performers turned out to be sexually abusing minors.
- The fifth episode of Cheer season two dedicates itself entirely to Jerry Harris's sexual abuse allegations, arrest, and eight counts of sex crimes involving minors.
- Tim jokes about a cheer routine that would teach kids to support having sex only with people their own age instead of minors.
- Monica Aldama learned about Harris's child sexual abuse allegations while in a dress rehearsal for Dancing with the Stars, an out-of-body experience that left her unable to breathe.
- Harris sent a letter to the Navarro cheer coach describing himself as optimistic and expressing his desire to become a motivational speaker.
- Tim does a sarcastic monologue imagining Harris as a self-help motivational speaker claiming he overcame his negativity and now focuses on personal growth instead of harming children.
- Tim says he's only interested in watching the episode to see how the entire team and coach react to the allegations, not because he cares about cheerleading.
- Tim sarcastically suggests that taking vitamin D, zinc, and Ivermectin can cure pedophilia and transform someone into a responsible adult.
