6 min

Tim eulogizes a woman who died falling into a Manhattan manhole, absurdly reframing it as a heroic protest against AI, his $115,000 costume designer dispute, and Spotify not offering him a deal, closing with a mock in-flight PA announcement mashing up Ed Gallrein and AI slogans before signing off from London.
