4 minTim tells the story of staying at a comic's apartment in Boston, a female fan who promised him a pastry but showed up without one, got drunk, chanted his initials, and was eventually escorted out limping while her husband seemed oddly complicit.
- 3:19Tim took a Megabus to Boston for bar shows, staying with a comic woman he'd never met before.
- 3:40The woman asked if he could tell a depressive lives there, with weed everywhere in the apartment.
- 4:01A female fan messaged him on the way down saying she'd come to the show and bring him a pastry.
- 4:20Tim notes the podcast's subject matter attracts a certain type of person, so he wasn't going to eat whatever she brought.
- 4:43The woman showed up with no pastry, then asked to FaceTime him while he was en route to Boston.
- 5:05She arrived the next night with her husband, still no pastry, and Tim called her out about it from stage.
- 5:15The audience had no idea about the backstory and thought Tim was just yelling at a random woman in the crowd.
- 5:36During the show, the woman got hammered and kept interrupting Tim's jokes by yelling 'TD' and clapping.
- 6:03By mid-show, she was limping through the venue being physically escorted out by management and another staff member.
- 6:16Tim observes that fans of the show who are women tend to be 'sturdy,' which makes it more notable when one's being restrained.
- 6:53Tim couldn't get a read on the husband, who later tweeted at him and seemed like a nice guy.
