Riffing on giving people nicknames, listing the comics who've opened for him on various tour legs, and explaining why he turned down acting opportunities because sitting around on a film set waiting depresses him.
- 6:12Tim explains why nicknames make life more interesting, giving the example of Tony Hernandez meeting another Tony and refusing to call him by the same name.
- 6:45Tour lineup includes Jesus Trejo, Shane Torres, Dusty Slay, Dave Williamson, and Leanne across multiple runs of exclusively theater dates.
- 7:06Tim originally planned to tour and then take three months off, but decided to tour the entire fucking year instead.
- 7:30When asked about TV shows or movies, Tim says fuck it all—stand-up comedy is the only thing he actually likes.
- 7:43Sitting in a trailer on set triggers depression in Tim because he's not creating, writing, or in charge of the project.
- 8:04A PA told Tim they didn't need him yet, and he snapped at being spoken to that way on a previous acting gig.
- 8:18Production told Tim to stay in his trailer while he just wanted to watch and learn on set, which made him lose his mind.
