  • 52:23Tim explains it's not the guys making the money in LA but the sons of the brothers, and jokes about flying someone's wife out and getting meetings with Sony executives on the Paramount lot.
  • 53:02Tim mimics being a Hollywood producer moving locations because it's too windy and demanding crab salad immediately, calling himself Cecil B. DeMille.
