Tim recounts absurd pitches from his agent, including him doing physical comedy he's bad at like Michael Phelps trying to teach him to swim, and agreeing to recreate celebrity deaths like Whitney Houston and John Belushi for money.
- One of the producers pitches: Tim doing something he's not good at, like Michael Phelps teaching him to swim.
- Tim counters with his own pitch: recreating Whitney Houston's death in a bathtub.
- Another producer is working with Blake Griffin on a new show where he does stuff with celebrities.
- Tim volunteers to take a basketball to the face from Blake Griffin until he bleeds, claiming he'll do whatever they want.
- Tim explains his new philosophy: he doesn't have to like the work anymore, doesn't have to think it's good or enjoy it.
- Tim asks if there's janitorial work available in the building instead—maybe pushing a broom or doing maintenance.
