Connor elaborates on his failed webcam career (two viewers, feigning enthusiasm issues), and Tim explains how he encourages attractive broke friends to become escorts or camboys, to their offense.
- 16:12Tim set up a webcam profile to make money for a trip to Fullerton, planning to quit once Old Navy responded to his application.
- 16:47He created the account, booted up the webcam, saw two viewers, and immediately questioned what he was doing.
- 17:05His username was Twinker Bell, which he thought sounded good in the moment.
- 17:23Tim explains his problem: he can't feign enthusiasm believably, always maintaining a blank expression that reads as someone who's been hurt.
- 17:47If he'd built up a following and cashed in chatterbay tokens, he could have fixed the studio.
- 18:14Tim tells attractive friends between jobs to become escorts or webcam workers, and they get very angry with him.
- 18:39He tells a really good-looking friend to just jerk off on a webcam for money, and the friend was deeply offended.
- 18:58According to Tim, people can upload photos of their feet and make money in this strange underground world.
- 19:09Building a following as a webcam performer works like building one as a comedian—you need to reach a point where people tune in to your room.
- 19:22Tim shifts to asking about people made out with on roast battle and the point of it.
