Ron jokes about being unattractive as a kid and thus never molested, then pivots to how the Catholic Church gets away with abuse while Michael Jackson gets all the blame.
- Tim describes being an unattractive kid who wasn't targeted by predatory actors or directors, unlike other child performers.
- His peak attractiveness lasted from age 7 to 7.5, after which he developed a mortgage broker appearance.
- Tim jokes that his lack of abuse is why he's broke, since he never had the chance to sue the church.
- The realization dawns that church scandals are being discussed as a financial opportunity rather than moral reckoning.
