Shane describes a comic falsely claiming he called her the n-word and being told 'just because she wasn't telling the truth doesn't mean she was lying,' then discusses how Trump's win fractured the Philly comedy scene.
- Someone tweeted Tim's name with the n-word in it.
- Tim admits he wasn't nice to people either, getting drunk and telling other comics they should quit.
- McDonald, a Last Comic Standing judge, told Tim five years ago it takes ten years to be a comedian, but now thinks his material is funny.
- On election night at Helium, Tim went on stage joking about Trump winning while other comics were crying.
- Tim made a joke saying "we're allowed to say f-word now that Trump won," which upset some comedians in the room.
- Most comedians overestimate their own importance; even legends like Carlin, Hicks, and Pryor weren't as significant as they believed in the larger scheme.
