Tim jokingly claims credit for the low-budget horror hits Backrooms and Obsession, then pivots to arguing these box office successes are flukes that don't represent a real trend, and mocks the desperate people calling him thinking they can replicate it.
- Tim claims he directed Backrooms and that the $118 million opening weekend is his money stolen by Hollywood.
- He also claims credit for Obsession, which grossed $166 million worldwide on a budget of $750,000 to $1 million.
- Tim warns aspiring filmmakers not to expect similar success, calling Backrooms and Obsession 'lovable flukes' that don't apply to them.
- Middle-aged people on drugs have been calling him claiming they'll now replicate these movies' success because it seems possible.
- Tim explains that horror movies made on low budgets rarely make this much money, which is why these successes are such a big story.
