Tim unpacks the Lizzo dancer lawsuit alleging weight-shaming, religious harassment, and a bizarre Amsterdam strip club incident with bananas and dildos, riffing on the dangers of declaring yourself "queen" of any group and his own philosophy on hiring and mocking fat employees.
- Lizzo has made herself the queen of fat people, which Tim argues is inherently unstable.
- Tim describes the body positivity movement Lizzo represents: big is beautiful, don't shame me, I am what I am.
- Tim's personal stance on fat employees: he respects them but doesn't sleep with them and watches them closely for sloth and lack of motivation.
- Lizzo's show 'Watch Out for the Big Girls' featured backup dancers she hired specifically because they looked like her.
- The backup dancers turned on Lizzo, claiming they were weight-shamed by her despite all being fat.
- When too many fat people are grouped together, they police each other's weight and behavior like crack addicts in a house judging who's using too much.
- Tim argues that diversity requires a sprinkling of different people; you can't have every fat person in the world on one tour bus.
- Three of Lizzo's former dancers sued, accusing her of sexual harassment, weight shaming, and creating a hostile work environment.
- In Amsterdam, Lizzo allegedly pressured dancers to touch nude performers and eat bananas protruding from their vaginas at a strip club.
- Tim concludes that Lizzo's mistake was embracing the role of queen and virtue-signaler rather than simply living her life.
- Declaring yourself the queen is always a mistake, Tim argues, because it sets you up for a fall.
