Tim imagines a sad singer-songwriter pitching an emotional song about his dead grandmother to a disinterested agent who only wants ass-shaking pop songs.
- Tim's agent had someone downstairs playing acoustic guitar, hoping it was Shawn Mendes or another celebrity.
- Nothing sadder than a disinterested LA agent listening to a failed songwriter's sob story about his dead grandma in Portland.
- Agent tells the songwriter to take his pants off and stop playing, says no one cares about his story anymore.
- Songwriter claims he wrote a beautiful song about connecting with who he is, but agent interrupts with questions about keeping lunch juicy.
- Agent tells him to get out of the office, go to Nashville, and kill himself because his story doesn't work.
- Tim notes you have to act like everything's great in the golden era as a failed musician pitching your work.
