Tim gushes over a clip of three LA influencers earnestly trying to define what an influencer or consultant even is, marveling at their sincerity, their claim that one of them 'invented comedy on the internet,' and comparing it to the WWE-adjacent 600lb diet guy podcast.
- Tim finds a podcast he can't stop watching, describing it as the greatest thing he's ever seen and the most LA thing imaginable.
- The influencers broke down the Russia-Ukraine situation without knowing what either of those places were, which Tim praises as a refreshing alternative to Twitter experts.
- Three influencers attempt to explain what being an influencer actually is, launching into confusing definitions.
- When asked what they do, one influencer admits she just lies and says she does consulting, which Tim notes shuts down follow-up questions.
- Tim watches them credit the woman in the middle with inventing comedy on the internet, calling it breathtaking satire whether intentional or not.
- The influencers list their various roles—writers, directors, editors, producers, actors, entrepreneurs—while one describes making content from bed without leaving it for a month.
- Tim argues that people who don't know what words mean are better at everything because they can claim to be anything.
- One influencer's father keeps calling her with viral video ideas and problematic suggestions, showing he gets what she does and wants to participate.
- The male influencer claims he can't think of anyone who made videos before TikTok, dismissing all prior video content.
- One of the influencers randomly interjects that her grandmother was in the Holocaust before pivoting back to asking if Doja Cat was good at Coachella.
- Tim compares this podcast to the WW Bros show, which featured a 600-pound man giving diet advice and saying he takes Thanksgiving off to eat.
