Louis explains how an old joke article calling him "Proud Boy of the Month" from fans of Legion of Skanks got weaponized years later by a comic trying to imply he's a real Proud Boy and expose his address.
- A fabricated article claimed Tim was a Proud Boy; he clarifies the actual story involved Proud Boy fans of Legion of Skanks who named him to their newsletter.
- Proud Boys started as a gag on Anthony Cumia's network but became politicized when they began counter-protesting in riot gear instead of staying funny.
- After fighting at LSMania, Proud Boy fans named Tim 'Proud Boy of the Month' in their newsletter, which he immediately pushed back on.
- Tim contacted them demanding they remove the designation, explaining that being associated with the group carries a scarlet letter effect regardless of context.
- He clarifies he won't kick fans out of his show for wearing Proud Boy or antifa gear, but the political association itself becomes a liability they don't deserve.
