In this bit6 moments
  • Ben lost his phone and wallet while playing golf.
  • Tim compares Ben's losses to Christ's words to Peter about building the church on rock.
  • People don't really change, Tim argues—they just white-knuckle their way through life.
  • The addict mentality helped Tim with comedy, even though people seeking serenity through twelve steps seem insane.
  • Fat cells stay with you forever after weight loss, so you're always primed to gain it back.
  • Tim would choose ravioli over male models for the rest of his life—that's how deep the hook of food addiction runs.
