Long Island Contentment, Succession, and Future Plans

• 1:20:14Tim announces contest details: review the podcast on iTunes, screenshot it, and enter to win a custom painting.
• 1:20:58Tim says he's shot a pilot and might become famous, but he's staying in Long Island regardless.
• 1:21:12Long Island is where he's dying because no one's made a good argument for anywhere else—not Brooklyn with its slam poetry and white people crying about slavery.
• 1:21:36He needs to stay within 45 minutes of a good steakhouse he likes, and proximity to the city matters for restaurants.
• 1:22:02Tim realized after shooting the pilot that what people hate about Long Island is stuff he's already done—tried the city, did the thing—and it's not even a thing.
• 1:22:39He's getting sick of stand-up and the transactional nature of telling jokes and leaving; he wants to make something real.
• 1:23:04Learning multiple skills makes you valuable to investors down the road when you pitch an idea with real competence behind it.
• 1:24:47Tim's developing a show about his time in the mortgage industry in 2009 after it collapsed—stories that need high-end production, not just late-night stand-up chuckles.
• 1:25:46Succession nails the portrayal of powerful families because they're a different breed; he's trying to do something similar about Long Island with the pilot he just shot.
