He laments that instead of a post-Covid creative boom we got dumb, plotless content, and recounts having a Ukrainian guest on the show and donating Bitcoin to him.
- Tim expected a creative renaissance after the pandemic instead of the current dumb, goofy films with no plots.
- He can't get into current war-mode storytelling and won't force himself to care like HBO is doing.
- Tim and a Ukrainian guest listened to David Bowie, drove over the 59th Street bridge, and had bagels together.
- Tim donated $5,000 in Bitcoin to the Ukrainian guest but received charred Russian bodies instead of what he actually wanted.
- The show's support for Ukraine on an ad-supported platform made a lot of money while accomplishing something heroic.
