Tim describes Kanye West's local-market-only Super Bowl commercial for a plain white T-shirt with a swastika, imagines the meeting where an employee had to take that order, and reflects on Kanye's ongoing meltdown.

In this bit11 moments
  • Tim mentions Kanye West as a friend of the program who reached out once but has been going off the rails.
  • Even Kanye's Nazi messaging has become boring—he used to say interesting things about love before going Hitlerian.
  • Kanye paid for a Super Bowl commercial that only aired in the LA area instead of nationally.
  • Tim attended a Super Bowl party in Santa Monica and notes that LA people lack intensity compared to the East Coast.
  • The Super Bowl ad prompted a visceral reaction from people at the party who recognized what Kanye had done.
  • Kanye's Yeezy ad directed people to a website selling a white shirt with a swastika on it.
  • Tim critiques the shirt itself—white shirts stain easily and aren't practical wardrobe choices.
  • The swastika imagery is offensive and will limit the types of people you'll meet while wearing the shirt.
  • Tim imagines Kanye's conversation with the shirt designer, insisting on only a white shirt with a black swastika despite pushback.
  • Despite his current instability, Kanye is still someone's boss with people taking orders on Zoom calls about swastika shirt designs.
  • Tim predicted years ago that mega celebrities would have public meltdowns on social media, and this is part of that trend.
