Shane recounts how the scandal snowballed from Ari Shaffir, discusses a two-hour unreleased podcast roasting other comics, and reveals he deleted old audio of himself making resentful jokes from his Philly open mic days.
- Ari Shaffir started the podcast leak drama by talking shit and asking Tim to take it down.
- Tim recorded a two-hour podcast with Chris D'Elia and Yannis Pappas that they're unsure about releasing because they went wild roasting other comics.
- Tim considered deleting everything during the week before the leak blew up.
- He deleted a chunk of podcast audio because he'd been shitting on comics from a place of resentment back when he was doing open mics in Philadelphia.
- Moving to New York immediately changed his career trajectory, making him realize he wasn't being held back by his identity.
- A Philly comic Tim didn't like is suspected of leaking the old material to damage his reputation.
- Tim distinguishes between bad comedians and talented people who've become politically extreme in recent years.
- A woman falsely claimed Tim called her a racial slur at a Helium show and tweeted about it.
- When confronted by her friend, the woman defended herself by saying that not telling the truth doesn't mean she was lying.
