Old People, Idle Time, and Marianne's Homemade Shame Flags
from Rodent Men & Justin Timberlake | The Tim Dillon Show #396 · #396

Tim expands into a broader theory that idle time is dangerous for people, especially the elderly, and that society is now run by listening to the musings of old, disconnected people; he circles back to Marianne's habit of inventing her own flags in her head.
- The pride flag now includes a yellow triangle with a purple circle for the intersex community, which Tim finds aesthetically displeasing and confusing.
- Tim compares the updated pride flag to a Trump ad and questions whether anyone in the design meeting suggested it was getting too crowded.
- The current pride flag represents a conservative approach—someone had to draw the line and stop adding new colors at six.
- Tim discusses Marianne and notes he doesn't know what she feels about gay people or whether she even cares, since her husband is the one on the Supreme Court.
- A strong strain of fundamentalism runs through America, and the left's ascendant ideology sparked a traditionalist response.
- The country works best with a Live and Let Live mentality, but Tim argues everyone in America essentially needs to be worked to death.
- Tim fears that with AI reducing work, people will have idle time, and idle time is the devil's plaything—evidenced by Boomers' behavior now that they have free time.
- An amount of free time exists that is unhealthy for any human being, and Marianne, who doesn't work, has time to sit around bothered by the pride flag.
- The woman Marianne is sitting around knocking back drinks while complaining about the pride flag and wants a sacred Jesus flag instead.
