Leanne, Family Life, and Never Turning the Comedy Brain Off

• 58:53Tim notes that many comedians on the road don't have wives or kids, which he sees as essential to having a life beyond comedy.
• 59:10Story about realtor Dolly Lenz, who sold $9 billion in real estate over 20 years and can never turn off her competitive drive, even at dinner with her family.
• 59:47Tim identifies with that mentality, pulling out his phone during lunch to write jokes while his wife and cousins are talking.
• 1:00:08His daughter Isla asked him what a boner was during a conversation about body insecurities, right after he was workshopping a joke about his own anatomy.
• 1:00:40Tim describes his joke material: his pubis looks like a single shooter on a grassy knoll.
• 1:00:51Leanne doesn't remember names of people Tim mentions, so he has to describe them as characters—like 'gay guy doesn't look gay' or 'angry cop redhead.'
• 1:01:19Story about his buddy Pete, who bought their car, painted it white, and sold it through his dealership.
• 1:01:46Tim says Joe Rogan definitely knew he was gay but genuinely doesn't care about anything outside of aliens and topics beyond that.
• 1:02:33Leanne estimates Tim turns off the comedy brain 2% of the time, though she admits that's an exaggeration for humor.
• 1:03:05When the kids get home Tim can turn it off somewhat, but he struggles to put his phone down; once he does, he stays present.
• 1:03:21During Sober October, Tim is completely checked out mentally, focused on the competition and texting with the other guys rather than being present with his family.
• 1:03:40Christina asked to podcast with Tim weekly during Sober October because it's apparently not fun for the partners—Joe's wife, Ari's girlfriend all hate it.
