Tim recounts a legendary unproduced bit he and Nick Mullen pitched involving a fake charity for kids who look like Billy Joel, Billy Joel impersonator fights, and rowing to Plum Island, and laments no one wanting to make anything fun.
- Tim wonders why Nick Mullen hasn't had ten TV shows despite being funny.
- The fake Billy Joel disease fundraiser pitch: kids Photoshopped to look like Billy Joel, with Billy Joel impersonators fighting onstage at a real fundraiser event.
- Tim would row a boat to Plum Island, the disease research facility, singing Billy Joel songs, with the Long Island medium or Alexa Ray Joel as his companion.
- The Patreon model allows Tim to make the funny content he wants without network constraints, sitting in a garage at 2 a.m. for over a year.
- Tim turned down a stand-up opportunity because the people involved agreed it would be bad, and he refuses to work cynically just because everyone else does.
