I listened to it, Shari. Tim was adorable as always, but I thought the question about whether the "violent" women characters he writes influence women to be more violent was ridiculously annoying.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

But I started out a little violent to begin with so ... blame Tim or blame the punk rock I listened to in my youth?

I mean, as I've already said: I kind of hated that lady.
I thought my want for needless violence toward her was isolated though.

I see that people already have expressed my most fervent thought after listening to half of the interview: I hate interviewer lady. I never want to hear her dumbass questions or that nasal tone of her voice ever again. Talk about someone who should never do radio.

I was happy that Tim's response was to bring up Wonderfalls and say that maybe he was influencing women to become snarky drunks.

Nah. I was a snarky drunk years before Wonderfalls was on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He's validating your choices, then.

If I only had a brain...
Dude! I can blame Tim for my snark!
