Tim rants about being asked to pose with caged animals like chinchillas and lizards for a comedy festival's social media, refusing to participate, and mocking the logic behind it (including a Saudi money joke).
- Netflix's idea: have comedians take pictures with animals locked in cages for social media.
- Tim refuses to do it and asks the Netflix people what the actual bit is supposed to be.
- Instead of the petting zoo, Tim did a different segment where they prompted him with words to pitch fake shows, which was actually funny.
- Tim wonders why nobody at Netflix vetoes the petting zoo idea—what's the thinking behind putting comics with animals as content?
- More people will buy a chinchilla after seeing one than watch a stand-up set, so the marketing logic doesn't make sense.
- Tim jokes to Netflix that he knows they're getting floated by Saudi royal money, and they actually laugh at it.
