    Lauren Boebert's Beetlejuice Theater Incident

    #

    Tim and Dan Soder riff on Congresswoman Lauren Boebert getting caught fondling her date at a Beetlejuice musical performance in Colorado, imagining the confused audience reaction and the mechanics of the date leading up to it.

    10moments
    • Tim's first sexual experience was in a movie theater during Batman and Robin, where he went up the leg instead of down the pants and completely bungled it.
    • The girl cheated on him that summer with two other guys who actually knew what they were doing.
    • Lauren Boebert's behavior at Beetlejuice is exactly what you'd expect from someone fresh off a divorce.
    • Boebert comes from Garfield County, the part of Colorado where people shoot guns to show they're happy.
    • The funniest part is finding out it was a first date, which makes her getting into it even more committed.
    • Tim describes the scene: she's hammered, ripping a vape, and a pregnant lady asks her to stop vaping.
    • The guy figured Beetlejuice the musical would put her in the right frame of mind for what was about to happen.
    • Apart from it being Boebert, there were just regular people in the theater thinking a random woman was grabbing some guy's dick.
    • If audiences leaving the theater had been told that was their representative, they would have been shocked to learn a congresswoman was acting that way.
    • Tim notes that Boebert is 36 years old, which means she's also a grandmother.

    Boebert's Backstory and the Porn Parody Inevitability

    #

    They discuss Boebert's wild personal history (bar fights, owning a bar called Shooters) and joke that a porn parody of the incident is surely already being filmed, comparing it to the Sarah Palin parody with Lisa Ann.

    7moments
    • Lauren Boebert and her husband had a history of getting into brawls with cops showing up.
    • Tim compares voting for Boebert to wanting someone who defends your car with a bat like she defended hers from her husband.
    • Boebert had no interest in politics and was working in a bar called Shooters before becoming a congresswoman.
    • Tim explains that 13-year-old him would fantasize about a woman like Boebert—armed, tough, ready to fight by your side.
    • Boebert was caught being sexual in a theater, and Tim jokes he would have loved the theater more if that had happened during a show he attended.
    • She responded to TMZ when caught and didn't deny it.
    • Boebert's attitude is that she doesn't care who she sleeps with—it's indiscriminate and unapologetic.

    Impersonating Boebert's TMZ Response

    #

    Tim does a bit imitating Boebert's mealy-mouthed TMZ statement about the incident, riffing on her language about 'levity' and 'burdens' and comparing it to a kid explaining a stolen $100 bill.

    4moments
    • Tim breaks down Boebert's typical "hot girl energy" persona before her scandal — shoulders showing, Colorado hat bought at DIA, casually dismissive attitude.
    • Tim compares Boebert's post-scandal non-apology to a teenager explaining away a missing hundred dollars from the mantle with elaborate justifications.
    • Boebert claims she's taken responsibility and learned to check party affiliations before dates, then pivots to asking people to see the musical.
    • Tim notes Boebert's admission the date was "hot as fuck" and observes that people are jerking off to this incident worldwide.

    Colorado, Manifest Destiny, and Stolen Land

    #

    The conversation shifts to Colorado's history and culture, joking about Manifest Destiny, Chili's and Applebee's built on stolen Native land, and the state's peculiar friendly-nosy character.

    6moments
    • Tim says the world will be brought together by more porn parodies of politicians.
    • Colorado mini malls are built on stolen land, part of the state's wild culture.
    • Three generations removed: Tim's grandfather was born in Colorado in 1925, making the family complicit in broken treaties and Native American genocide.
    • People act like the Chili's and Applebee's have always existed, when really they're products of Manifest Destiny.
    • Colorado residents have a joyful curiosity about people, asking questions and wanting to know who you are.
    • New York's attitude is mind your own business and look forward, but Colorado asks 'what do you do' and 'who are you.'

    Billions, Finance Bros, and Jocko Willink Small Talk

    #Guest

    Dan talks about filming Billions, meeting real finance figures like the guy who shorted Enron, and bombing a small-talk attempt with Jocko Willink about American Comedy Company; they discuss the show ending its run.

    9moments
    • Tim discusses Billions as a quintessentially New York show and how young finance guys constantly confuse him with his character on set.
    • Finance types approach him thinking he's mafia, unable to separate the actor from the role—similar to how wrestling fans would treat meeting Kane.
    • He's known a few people who worked in finance but got out; none who are currently in the industry and actual friends.
    • The show brought in real finance figures as cameos, including the guy who shorted Enron, whom Tim didn't recognize while making awkward small talk.
    • Tim attempted small talk with Jocko Willink on the Billions set and got completely shut down by the Navy SEAL's demeanor.
    • He tried opening the conversation with Jocko by asking about American Comedy Company in San Diego, a conversational dead end.
    • Jocko's response to Tim mentioning American Comedy Company was to reveal he'd killed and seriously injured people there, delivered as harsh fact rather than joke.
    • Jocko trained the character on set as part of a fake training scene alongside Stipe Miocic, Tim Ferriss, Deontay Wilder, and other notable figures.
    • The final four episodes of Billions are currently airing and that's the end—no movie, no spinoff planned.

    Billions Miami Rumors and Guy Code Regrets

    #Guest

    Dan jokes about a rumored Billions Miami spinoff implying he's fallen on hard times, then tells the story of his manager pushing him into an ill-fitting MTV Guy Code spinoff and a proposed Harvey Weinstein parody that never happened.

    8moments
    • Tim worries about rumors he might appear on Billions Miami, claims he'd be visibly on heroin if he did.
    • His manager pitched him absurd ideas early in his career, including going on tour in blackface as Lizzo.
    • Manager suggested a Harvey Weinstein parody; Tim correctly identified it as making fun of rape victims.
    • Guy Code ended and the creator pitched Guy Court, a spinoff where cast members served as lawyers and judges.
    • Tim rejected the Guy Court idea as ridiculous and not his personality, then asked for crazy money anyway.
    • They accepted his price for four episodes; he did the show and admits it didn't fit him but he needed the work.
    • Networks never let anything die, as evidenced by endless reboots like Many Saints of Newark and Breaking Bad movies.
    • Tim forgot they even made a Breaking Bad movie, distinguishing between lazy reboots and successful spinoffs like Better Call Saul.

    Selling Fake Art Made From His Schizophrenic Mother's Paintings

    #Guest

    Dan describes his plan to touch up paintings made by his late schizophrenic mother and sell them to rich idiots, leading into a story about a con man who posed as a Rothschild in a Soho townhouse and got away with it for years.

    10moments
    • Tim's schizophrenic mother just died, and he's planning to fix up her paintings and sell them to rich people by renting a gallery.
    • Rich people get scammed as often as poor people do, Tim argues.
    • The fake art would sell to a 24-year-old kid whose dad runs BlackRock or similar.
    • Driving back from a gig years ago, Tim casually pointed at a mental hospital and said that's where his mother was.
    • Tim's success caught him up to his tastes—he used to go to fancy restaurants despite living in broke, legendary New York comedy apartments.
    • The infamous fifth-floor walk-up apartment had a shower in the kitchen, steam heat pipes that burned you, rats, bed bugs, and roaches.
    • Rich people have all this money sitting around and need to get rid of it, which is the premise of every documentary about scams.
    • A guy pretended to be a Rothschild, rented a SoHo townhouse, and hung out with Leo DiCaprio and finance nepo babies doing coke until he was outed as a schlubby Orthodox Jew from New Jersey.
    • That New York scene should only last a couple of years and be intense—you have to do it and then get out of it.
    • The scene is like a drug dealer movie: you need to leave before it gets boring, like the part where the dealer walks away.

    Dating a Rich Girl and the 'It's a Hotel' Story

    #Guest

    Dan and Tim revisit Dan's past relationship with a wealthy woman living in SoHo, including Tim's memory of Dan casually pointing out the mental institution where his mother was, leading into Dan's favorite story about his ex's rich friend condescendingly saying 'it's a hotel.'

    9moments
    • One girl Tim knew had a father with wealth beyond $300 million, sparking his interest in the people who actually run the world.
    • Tim argues that viewing American government as a mob family structure instead of civics makes everything make sense.
    • Growing up on Long Island, Tim was fascinated by city kids who went to prep schools and rehab by age 13.
    • The only way to truly break into wealthy circles is to lie, and those people actually want to be lied to because their entire life is lies.
    • Rich kids don't care when they find out they've been lied to—they just enjoy having a random story to tell.
    • Tim met the wealthy woman he dated on Raya and was completely out of his depth, living under a train in Queens at the time.
    • The woman refused to come to Queens; she insisted Tim come to her place in SoHo instead.
    • She was attending a benefit for artwork in Venice on a Friday night while Tim was doing comedy shows in the city.
    • Tim was making jokes while she was off to a fake benefit event supposedly to save art.

    Rich People Have No Feelings, and Why That's Necessary

    #Guest

    They theorize that wealthy elites must suppress all emotion to maintain power, comparing them to economic soldiers and joking about nannies being fired regularly to toughen up rich kids, contrasting them with happy middle-class friends.

    10moments
    • Tim's girlfriend invites him over after a wealthy friend's benefit at the Pierre hotel.
    • The wealthy friend explains what the Pierre is, as if Tim wouldn't know, and he realizes it's a condescending moment.
    • Tim argues that wealthy people's lives are actually cold and horrible, with no real stakes or feelings.
    • The Southampton Bathing Corporation example: wealthy WASPs sitting on a tiny beach, now irrelevant as Arabs, Muslims, and Chinese run the world.
    • All a wealthy woman has—beyond billions—is to go to a hotel and complain about it while reading books on a private beach.
    • Rich people must be sociopaths and emotionless, or else the Chinese will win and America will collapse.
    • Wealthy people can't have kids and raise taxes like normal people; nothing impresses them because everything they have is already great.
    • Rich people are economic soldiers forced to suppress their emotions by the reality of their existence and their need to destroy competitors.
    • Wealthy elites will always rise to the top in any system, but they need to be constrained so they don't destroy the entire world.
    • The ultra-wealthy never want people to know about them or join their ranks; they're fascinated by their own isolation and secrecy.

    American Royalty and the 9/11 Bit

    #Guest

    Dan explains the meaning behind his 'American Royalty' tour name, and Tim does an extended bit imagining a rich husband casually telling his numbed wife 'we did 9/11 again' for money while she stares blankly into the Hamptons night.

    10moments
    • American royalty would be a guy in a DXL shirt, given that the brand only offers three sweatshirt options in bigger sizes.
    • Tim's teacher friends on Long Island with their cute house and two kids are far happier than wealthy people will ever be.
    • Writing emotional jokes about wealthy people made Tim realize he was too weak for that world.
    • Tim reached out to apologize after writing a joke about an ex, discovering that wealthy people can't let human emotion seep in or it'll never end.
    • Wealthy families fire the nanny every couple years so the kid cries and gets used to a new one, toughening them up young like Conan the Barbarian.
    • Tim dated a wealthy woman who asked why he'd just do comedy the rest of his life instead of making more money.
    • Tim describes a wealthy woman in the Hamptons taking Valium and chardonnay, unable to feel bad news about her husband's infidelities or business crimes because she's dissociated.
    • The husband tells his sedated wife that they did 9/11 again for money, and she must accept it without feeling anything.
    • Wealthy women achieve emotional numbness through white wine and Valium, similar to flashbang-deafened soldiers in war movies like Saving Private Ryan.
    • Tim respects cold women and just learned his grandmother finessed him out of sixty thousand dollars in old-school fashion.

    Grandma's $60,000 Bank Account Hustle

    #Guest

    Dan tells the story of discovering his 95-year-old grandmother, whom he'd been sending $1,500 a month, was secretly hiding $62,000 in a bank account to keep the payments coming.

    5moments
    • Tim gave his 95-year-old grandmother $1,500 a month for 12-13 years because she claimed to have only Social Security.
    • She refused to let him be added to her bank account despite him repeatedly offering to help deposit the money.
    • The neighbor revealed the grandmother wouldn't add Tim to the account because she was afraid he'd stop sending money if he saw how much she had.
    • Checking account held $62,000, savings held $7,000 — the grandmother had been taking Tim's money while sitting on nearly $70,000.
    • Medi-Cal's five-year financial audit means Tim can't touch the money now because it would disqualify her from benefits.

    Confronting Grandma and the Cellar 'Top Dog' Story

    #Guest

    They joke about ambushing his grandmother on camera, then Dan tells another story about his ex's ultra-wealthy friend at the Comedy Cellar treating him like a butler in front of Chris Rock, being told to date the richer friend instead.

    8moments
    • His grandmother would call him by his dead father's name during their confrontations.
    • He hasn't spoken to a woman he dated ten years ago and assumes she probably doesn't remember him.
    • Tim was at the Cellar doing a set while dating someone whose friend was a wealthy woman everyone called 'Top Dog.'
    • When Chris Rock walked into the Cellar, Tim got bumped and told his date that's why he wouldn't be performing.
    • Chris Rock told Tim to date Top Dog instead, saying she had significantly more money than the girl he was actually dating.
    • Tim jokes that if you're going to marry a reptile, marry one with a lot of scales—the one with the biggest tail.
    • The New York scene for kids boils down to doing blow in townhouses, fake art, travel, and knowing famous people.
    • Wealthy trust fund kids use fake business ventures—fashion lines, handbag companies, designer sunglasses—as cover for living off inherited money.

    Designer Slinkies and Jets Flying Over NFL Games

    #Guest

    They mock the New York trust-fund grift of fake ethical brands like 'designer slinkies,' then connect it to why Americans cheer military flyovers at football games and the entertainment industry's inflated self-importance during the WGA/SAG strikes.

    6moments
    • Tim explains why Americans cheer when jets fly over NFL games: because they're not bombing us.
    • We love the military because they do things we don't want to know about, but it keeps us safe and makes us rich.
    • The entertainment business inflates its own importance, especially regarding strikes most people outside the industry don't even know happened.
    • Tina Fey's Sarah Palin sketch on SNL marked the moment Hollywood made Americans see her as incompetent.
    • Adam McKay said he doesn't want to make certain comedies anymore because the empty guys in suits are the same ones who started the Iraq War.
    • Tim argues that you can't give movies meaning beyond what they actually have, citing Don't Look Up as an example of a film that sucked its own dick.

    Don't Look Up and Hollywood's Manufactured Importance

    #Guest

    Tim criticizes the film Don't Look Up for being self-important, describing watching it with Katie and his mom and turning it off, then contrasting it with celebrities publicly insisting it's essential viewing.

    8moments
    • Tim and Katie turned off Don't Look Up partway through because they thought it sucked.
    • Celebrities like Amy Schumer pushed the film as important and brilliant right after release.
    • Famous people need Don't Look Up to be important because otherwise it exposes how disconnected they are.
    • It's a mutual back-scratching arrangement where celebrities promote each other's work as necessary viewing.
    • Tim imagines Amy Schumer doing Willy Wonka from a female perspective and wanting McKay's crew to call it essential.
    • Tim predicts comedy will return to being funny instead of message-driven after the strike.
    • Audiences are getting sick of messaging and just want funny material.
    • Groucho Marx wasn't trying to show depth—he was just being funny.

    Meeting the President of CBS During the Strike

    #Guest

    Tim recounts a bizarre meeting with a CBS executive during the strike who pitched reality shows like 'Raid the Cage' and a Spanish Wheel of Fortune knockoff called La Silla, while insisting network TV needs to be 'about something.'

    7moments
    • Tim met with the president of CBS during the strike without signing any deals, just because he likes getting in rooms with powerful people.
    • Ninety percent of executives' jobs is fake nonsense meetings and wasted time.
    • The CBS president told Tim she wants to make things that are about something, then asked him what everything is really about—a question Tim says his mother also asks constantly.
    • He imagines the CBS president walking around the network pointing at shows asking what they're about, arriving at descriptions like 'Naval rape' for NCIS and suggesting Drew Barrymore has a brain injury.
    • Tim told the CBS president directly that she needs to make things that are a joy to watch instead of drowning everything in meaning.
    • The CBS president pitched a new reality show called 'Raid the Cage'—described as Santa's workshop on crack where people get stuck in a cage and try to grab prizes.
    • She compared another show, 'La Silly,' to a Mexican Wheel of Fortune, and Tim thanked her for his time and got parking validation.

    Naked Attraction, Morgan and Morgan Ad

    #SponsorMorgan & Morgan

    They read about the graphic new dating show Naked Attraction hitting Max, which segues into a Morgan and Morgan injury law firm sponsor read with jokes about suing each other.

    7moments
    • Reality TV has reached the point where networks are making actual shows based on jokes from 30 Rock, like MILF Island.
    • HBO's new streaming show Naked Attraction features people eliminating potential dates by critiquing their fully nude bodies, revealed one part at a time with faces last.
    • The show was released on Max without any trailer or media fanfare, and viewers are just now stumbling upon it with wild reactions.
    • Morgan and Morgan is America's largest injury law firm with over 100 offices and more than 800 lawyers who've recovered over 15 billion dollars.
    • Tim notes that Morgan and Morgan only gets paid if you win, which is a good arrangement since they have to get a taste.
    • Tim once cut his thumb at Boy Scout camp but didn't sue, and he also crashed into federal officers after falling asleep in a car but wasn't pursued.
    • Tim questions whether we've hit the wall with TV content now that full frontal naked dating shows exist, wondering what comes next.

    Desensitization: Beheadings, Porn, and the Return of Shame

    #Guest

    Discussing a young comedy crowd member desensitized by Al Qaeda beheading videos, they theorize society's tolerance for licentiousness and lethargy will swing back toward order, shame, and traditional values.

    10moments
    • Tim talks to a 23-year-old in Raleigh who grew up desensitized to Al Qaeda beheading videos and feels nothing watching shocking content.
    • A friend's son and his group of mid-teens in L.A. don't react to much; they watch car accidents on their phones and leave.
    • Tim predicts tolerance for being a "big fat slob" with no money and unfinished lives will disappear, reversing the cultural pendulum.
    • Shame will partially return because the freedom to be licentious and vulgar hasn't made people happier.
    • The culture needs order to swing back toward something more traditional after opening Pandora's box of chaos.
    • Mental health problems, depression, anxiety, and social media addiction in teenagers show the cost of unlimited freedom.
    • Men in their 20s have been watching extreme pornography since age 13 and now have erectile dysfunction early.
    • Tim sees religion and faith-based morality returning as people recognize their value as organizing principles.
    • Destroying all moral codes leaves only domination; chaos without architecture for morality creates unintended consequences.
    • A fascist religious backlash is coming as one of those unintended consequences.

    Why Rich Liberals Suddenly Love Ukraine

    #Guest

    Tim argues for trusting gut instinct over media programming, questioning why wealthy Hollywood types who ignore Yemen and other conflicts became overnight humanitarians about Ukraine specifically.

    10moments
    • Modern public space has become schizophrenic craziness where Ukraine, gender, and everything else blur together.
    • Twenty years ago, seeing a comedian required attending a live show—there was no Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat access.
    • Algorithms programmed by tech companies shape our brains, and it's inescapable for people raised with phones since age eleven.
    • Tim tries to form independent opinions on issues divorced from what he's read or consumed, based on his own instinct and life experience.
    • People are destroying their innate sense of what is true, right, and real by surrendering to corporate media and tech programming.
    • Rich people in Beverly Hills who spit on valets suddenly put Ukrainian flags outside their houses and claim to care about Ukraine.
    • The same people who pushed the Iraq War are now pushing the Ukraine war, which seems suspicious given they ignore Yemen, Palestine, and other conflicts.
    • America has never had a war with Russia, and Putin was the first leader after 9/11 to call and offer condolences.
    • For four years Americans heard nonstop about Russia fixing elections and coming to invade, but the Ukraine conflict is actually very complicated.
    • Modern culture benefits when people understand how stupid they are and recognize when something is beyond their comprehension.

    Knowing What You Don't Know, and the Art of Going Away

    #Guest

    They discuss staying in your lane on topics like relationships, and the lost art of disappearing from public life and returning, praising Bo Burnham's approach versus creators who overstay their welcome.

    10moments
    • Tim avoids talking about male-female relationships because he doesn't have genuine knowledge of that subject matter.
    • He can discuss Harry and Meghan as con artists because their dynamic is based on conniving, which he understands.
    • Modern culture has lost the art of going away — the idea of stepping back and returning stronger rather than constantly pushing content.
    • Burnham demonstrates the value of disappearing and returning: audiences understand he knows what he's doing, unlike creators who overstay their welcome.
    • Familiarity breeds contempt — people hate content they're exposed to constantly without understanding why.
    • The idea of saying 'I don't know' has become almost extinct in modern discourse.
    • A current snapshot of culture gets treated as permanent when everything is always changing — people's tastes, consumption habits, and preferences shift constantly.
    • Few people can predict how things will shift; Tim worked in radio from 2003 to 2009 with no idea podcasting would replace it.
    • Sexual innuendo in 1950s and early Carson-era late shows was clever because it had to be dirty without being explicit.
    • Tim does the show because he thinks it's good and could walk away, unlike creators who keep grinding because they depend on the income.

    Authenticity, Influencer Brain, and Fake Lifestyle Marketing

    #Guest

    They praise authenticity as the future of entertainment, criticizing influencers who market fake lifestyles on Instagram instead of showing the messy reality, like a woman who only posts herself drinking, never hungover.

    10moments
    • Tim argues that the most successful creators like Shane Gillis are very authentic, and people are sick of being marketed to.
    • There's nothing grosser than being a brand or a product, and influencer brain treats everything as something that can be sold.
    • Tim's ads on the show are funny because he gets bored reading them, which creates genuine entertainment rather than hollow promotion.
    • A slice of entertainment has been taken over by influencer brain where people market a lifestyle and ask others if they want to be them.
    • The marketing of lifestyle on Instagram exploits imagery of parties and standup crowds to create a false impression of someone's actual life.
    • Tim calls out people who project glamorous lives online while he knows the reality: they're struggling and doing cocaine, not living the fantasy they display.
    • An Irish or British woman on TikTok makes club drink videos that Tim and Katie watch, but she only shows the fun parts, never the hangover.
    • Tim saw the Kardashians filming themselves eating at Casa Vega in LA, but nobody in the restaurant cared about them at all.
    • Tim wonders how much money the Kardashians need, sitting in a Mexican restaurant with cameras watching them eat guacamole despite having a billion dollars.
    • The Kardashians have been on TV for 15 years and never take a season off, suggesting they're afraid of losing relevance if other people get the camera attention.

    The Kardashians at Casa Vega and 'The Rain Must Be Long'

    #Guest

    Tim describes seeing the Kardashians ignored while filming at a Mexican restaurant, questioning why they never stop despite having billions, and jokes that if you can't be great, just be prolific like a bad product sold in bulk.

    10moments
    • The Kardashians don't make anything, but the sheer volume of content is impressive—if you can't isolate something good, just make a lot of it.
    • Tim coins 'The Rain Must Be Long' as a perfect description of the Kardashian strategy: low quality but massive inventory.
    • Analogy: selling bad cocaine in bulk because at least there's quantity, same as the Kardashian approach to content.
    • Kardashian TV used to be aspirational, but now their lives are so convoluted that viewers are just confused rather than envious.
    • Tim notes Pete Davidson can't speak about his time with the Kardashians due to NDAs, which prevents the kind of revealing tell-alls that would actually be interesting.
    • Tim jokes that dating one of the Kardashians himself would be the final sign of society's decline.
    • Tim has been texting Caitlyn Jenner trying to get her on the show, which he thinks is very doable.
    • Dream guest lineup: Caitlyn Jenner, Donald Trump, and Tim singing 'I'm Proud to Be an American' together.
    • If RFK books him to perform JFK jokes at the Kennedy Compound, Tim would consider taking a year off stand-up—that would be the pinnacle achievement.
    • Tim fantasizes about bombing while sunburned and sweating in front of the entire Kennedy Compound as his career endpoint.
