Tim recounts his real child-acting career including a play about incest/rape performed in a Greenwich Village black box theater, then rants against comedians and newcomers who act like they've revolutionized comedy after five minutes, urging humility and gratitude.
- Tim tells an overhyped newcomer they've done nothing and inspired no one despite having talent.
- A CVS cashier with three kids and an abusive husband has more talent than this person will ever have.
- Certain people act like they've revolutionized comedy after being around for five minutes.
- Nobody's actually out there being inspired; it's a mirage, like a fat girl from Ohio moving to New York anyway.
- Real theater people came from actual training, not mommy and daddy paying for camps and publicists.
- Tim finds it aggravating when someone pops up out of nowhere and thinks they're paving the way.
- The way has already been paved; people are just coming down the road that exists.
- At a play, Tim saw something so bad he was embarrassed to be in the audience and didn't want to be seen.
- A baby actor in The Ferryman has done more than Tim and has made more money and is more essential to the production.
- Tim refuses to do articles claiming he had it harder as a gay guy in comedy when tons of gay comedians came before him.
- One gay comedian claimed to be the first gay guy to work a comedy club, which Tim says is provably untrue.
