In this bit8 moments
  • Some people say something very funny, but the moment cameras go on they completely lose it.
  • Tim has seen comedians kill at shows but bomb when it actually matters, like Conan or JFL.
  • Tim ended a friendship recently with somebody he could see going insane.
  • A friend with no job said they needed a personal assistant, which is a sign someone's about to lose their mind.
  • The same person asked if Ben, Tim's producer, could schedule furniture deliveries—despite not having a job or doing anything.
  • People losing touch with reality are like someone dipping their toe into outer space and deciding they like floating without gravity.
  • To live in that detached state, you need to surround yourself with a team of yes-men who won't question anything.
  • Unfortunately, this person had to go from Tim's life.
