Riffing on Kate Smith being retroactively canceled for racism, then a long bit about the Michael Jackson documentary, joking that everyone always knew but nobody stopped him, and mentioning Jackson truthers.
- Tim describes his grandmother's Irish maid Terry: varicose veins, always drunk, chain-smoking, calling to say she made it home then hanging up.
- Tim on retroactively canceling people for racism 70 years ago: the Michael Jackson documentary removed his music from the air.
- Tim's actual criticism of the Jackson documentary: it has no music, just talking, and contradicts the premise by showing him helping kids instead of the women he actually slept with.
- Everyone knew Michael Jackson was abusing kids in the 80s but nobody stopped him—pure laziness.
- Jackson truthers exist and believe the abuse allegations are an elaborate setup, that he could be innocent.
