00:00 - 00:03 | RadioFreeTom, Twitter has announced that it is bleeding money |
00:04 - 00:05 | It needs to develop new sources of revenue |
00:05 - 00:07 | It’s losing advertisers |
00:08 - 00:12 | It feels the best way is to charge $8 per month |
00:12 - 00:15 | For verified accounts |
00:17 - 00:19 | Sounds like Stephen King talked them down |
00:19 - 00:21 | From $20 per month |
00:24 - 00:26 | RadioFreeTom |
00:27 - 00:28 | Stephen King |
00:31 - 00:33 | Stephen King told Twitter to go fuck itself |
00:34 - 00:36 | He believes Twitter should be paying him |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone leave the room except Jay Black, PopeHat, and Dick Nixon |
01:13 - 01:15 | What could Elon possibly be thinking |
01:15 - 01:17 | I earned my verified status |
01:18 - 01:23 | What will happen if some imposter pays $8 to impersonate me |
01:25 - 01:28 | My followers depend on me |
01:29 - 01:31 | To provide updates on Carla and the headband |
01:31 - 01:34 | What would happen on Saturdays |
01:34 - 01:37 | When American Top 40 plays songs from the ‘70s |
01:37 - 01:40 | Charlie and Don can’t handle the cheese by themselves |
01:40 - 01:42 | RadioFreeTom, no one likes the early years |
01:42 - 01:46 | What about my dislike for Led Zeppelin |
01:46 - 01:48 | It’s common knowledge that Zeppelin is more well liked than Boston |
01:48 - 01:52 | I should have you forced to listen to Midnight at the Oasis while staked to an ant hill |
01:53 - 01:54 | Or listen to Afternoon Delight on a continuous loop |
01:56 - 01:57 | And what about wearing shoes on an airplane |
01:57 - 02:00 | Or shoving your bare feet between the seats |
02:00 - 02:03 | What if someone impersonated me and said that was OK |
02:04 - 02:08 | I’d rather be forced to eat Indian food with Preet each morning |
02:08 - 02:13 | Who would know it was really me pleading for help when my cable carrier canceled MeTV |
02:14 - 02:16 | My followers depend on me |
02:17 - 02:21 | To provide esoteric knowledge of B-List actors on old TV shows |
02:27 - 02:29 | And my takes on the original Star Trek |
02:30 - 02:34 | How will my followers know it’s me and not some Next Generation fanboy |
02:34 - 02:36 | What about everyone thinking they are an expert |
02:41 - 02:42 | I’m the expert on experts |
02:43 - 02:47 | We don’t need RadioFreeTom imposter who majored in Food Sciences |
02:48 - 02:53 | Lecturing my followers on the difference between communism, socialism, and fascism |
02:54 - 02:56 | And the Twitter Handle |
02:56 - 02:59 | I’m the one who came up with that one |
03:00 - 03:02 | That took real thinking outside the box |
03:04 - 03:07 | It’s ok, you’re too young to remember Radio Free Europe |
03:14 - 03:16 | I tweet to my followers not to leave Twitter |
03:19 - 03:23 | I might like snow while they detest it but they still need me |
03:25 - 03:26 | Tell Elon I’ll pay the vig |
03:31 - 03:33 | My followers need to know about my trips to Vegas |
03:40 - 03:46 | They need my tips on expensive male grooming products |
03:46 - 03:49 | Perhaps the Atlantic will allow me to expense it |
03:53 - 03:56 | Hopefully Steven King will understand |
