3 minMore backstory on Scott's brief radio success in Connecticut, wrestling a female co-host, his career collapse due to drugs, and a closing assessment that he has real showmanship despite terrible material.
- 56:49A Long Island comedian's podcast and song about jail led to his death after he was shot in the face.
- 57:11Tim describes seeing a performer with charisma despite questionable material, recalling a conversation about road comedy and attitudes toward gay people.
- 57:48The performer wrestled a female cohost on a Connecticut radio show called Courtney Ross and Scott in the morning, similar to Andy Kaufman's wrestling bit.
- 58:13Tim notes the performer had decent radio numbers for a while before things declined, attributing the downfall partly to drugs.
- 58:40Tim acknowledges the material was bad but delivered with panache, using a song parody as an example of the performer's style.
- 59:11The performer would extend lines like "we call them fags" for two and a half minutes before landing on hateful punchlines.
- 59:28Tim recalls the performer doing a show in Woonsocket, Rhode Island that didn't land because the material lacked abstraction and read as literal rather than satirical.
