Managing Himself and Charlamagne's Talent

• 1:13:15Tim recalls being in auditions from age six to twelve in New York City.
• 1:13:25Joan Didion's observation about never truly knowing New York the way someone who arrives there at twenty-one does.
• 1:13:50The analogy: you can't see your own mother as attractive because you're too close to her, same as natives can't see New York the way outsiders do.
• 1:14:22Charlamagne's best friends in New York aren't comedians—mostly people he grew up with locally.
• 1:14:38His best friend Jamil works as an ad executive at TripAdvisor and saw the entire journey from the beginning.
• 1:15:18Charlamagne and Jamil are starting an ad agency and media group because they weren't getting enough sponsors for the podcast.
• 1:15:43Pitching ads to brands by being honest about the podcast's wild, uncensored, unfiltered content rather than promising advertiser-friendly behavior.
• 1:16:14The Unsafe Sets project on Instagram drops new clips every Sunday, eventually expanding into a full show format.
• 1:16:27Vision for Unsafe Sets: two shows at the Cellar with ten comics each, curating three unsafe bits per comic that don't have industry places but resonate with audiences.
• 1:16:53Tim questions whether the industry will ever realize that unsafe comedy has an audience and place in people's hearts.
