Tim pivots to the Depp-Heard defamation trial, joking that he predicted a celebrity trial would be needed to distract the public and that he cares more about it than his own family.
- Tim calls the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial bigger entertainment than mass shootings.
- He predicted months ago that a celebrity trial would be needed as escapism from depressing news.
- Tim argues we need trials on every channel, prank shows everywhere, and people should never leave their houses.
- A shooting will be forgotten within an hour, but the Depp trial has dominated for six weeks.
- Tim admits he cares more about Amber Heard and Johnny Depp than about kids who got shot, because he's followed the trial longer.
- The trial is fun because the rich celebrities have butlers, maids, nannies, and drama playing out in Coachella, the Hills, Italy—luxury locations.
- There's entertainment value in hearing about somebody getting beaten up in a nice area.
