Who is Rick and Tim?

Break it Down with Rick and Tim

Who are Rick and Tim and why are they making a podcast called Break it Down? One is a reformed bigfoot cult member, and the other is a high school teacher who offers examples of how to understand the world we live in. Seeing things through the lens of empathy is a quote Tim uses as he and Rick discuss how they came up with the podcast and why they felt the need to discuss such hot topics. TikTok and China are discussed with a possible catastrophic impact that TikTok has on Western Culture and our unsuspecting teenagers. Does Rick think TikTok should be banned? Tim attempts to explain to Rick what “Be Real” is, the latest social media trend. Rick explains to Tim what Generation Jones is and how it is the forgotten generation. Politicians using the Bible as a moral compass vs our true American religion: capitalism is discussed. Rick confesses how he votes. Echoes of the past and what happened on January 6th, remind us that “freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” Rick shares his feelings on what September 11th did and how Millennials don’t have the lived-in experience of the life we had before all our lives changed. Tim chooses a topic for “Let’s Trigger Rictor” that would generally be a sure bet in sending Rick into lunar orbit: Associating LGBT people with pedophilia. Instead, it makes Rick very sad and reflective, and he explains why. Pedophilia is not a sexual preference. One does not equate the other based on hateful destructive assumptions. The “Let’s Quiz Tim” segment has to be the funniest one Rick has made. Warning: It’s not politically correct and the naughty jokes are about politics. Clips include TikTokker: newgirlny_fl and CNN archival footage.
