They joke about Tucker Carlson driving a car with no GPS, discuss Australia's social media ban for kids under 16, and debate whether social media accentuates mental illness while still serving as a source of cautionary examples.
- Tim never sends Tucker Instagram stories because Tucker doesn't have social media and doesn't look at any of it.
- YouTube is Tim's favorite platform—he watches videos about ancient civilizations, hunting, professional pool, anything but social media.
- Tim thinks most people aren't cut out for social media; it makes you feel constantly in conflict, accentuates mental illness.
- He's lost the ability to talk to friends because of their tweets.
- Tim jokes the Australian government will use the ban as an excuse to go door-to-door checking children's phones.
- Everyone has to develop discipline and recognize when they're overdoing something, like drinking seven drinks a night.
- Learning from other people's stupid mistakes is part of being human, and social media works the same way as everything else.
- Tim questions why people argue constantly on social media—what kind of life is that, and how can you be happy?
- People need to watch others do awful things around them to realize they shouldn't do those things themselves.
