Wrapping the news talk, they joke about Giannis's conservative app presence (Parler, Truth Social, OnlyFans), Kanye's pending Parler purchase, and Trump being the Frankenstein monster that gave Twitter its cultural weight.
- Conservative media landscape apps like Parlor, True Social, and OnlyFans all competing and eating each other
- Tim speculates on what happens when Kanye buys Parlor and whether executives are actually excited about the deal
- The idea of Kanye owning Parlor is sexier to everyone than the actual execution would be
- Musk bought Twitter thinking he'd save it, but Twitter already had its moment and is dying like everything else
- Twitter was actually dying before Trump, but Trump brought it back and created the entire online universe around his posts
- Once Trump left Twitter, the moment was over for good—even if he returns, Twitter no longer carries the social weight it used to
