1 minTim riffs on the different social stages of being fat, then tells the story of his 32nd birthday and an awkward, meaningless phone call from his manager.
- 0:45Tim describes the phase of "flirting with being fat" — when you're just getting chubby and people's comments about it are still kind of funny.
- 1:03The difference: when you're a little fat, people don't make you sad yet; now they just tell him he's killing himself.
- 1:13Tim's manager called on his 32nd birthday and asked how old he was in a worried, accusatory tone.
- 1:37Tim joked that he has two years to "make it," and his manager responded by saying it's "on" him — implying responsibility for Tim's success or mortality.
