- Laurie Kilmartin threw Shane under the bus after doing a show together at The Stand.
- Comics message Shane privately to praise his videos but won't retweet them publicly.
- When pitching in LA, every agent privately agreed Louie CK was the best but said they couldn't associate with him.
- Shane values freedom over money and doesn't think there's enough money to make him shut up.
- Shane was asked to do a mea culpa but refused because apologizing would own him for life.
- You can't control how people take a joke—Tim explains the fundamental problem with comedy apologies.
- If Shane apologizes for one thing, people will dig up everything else he's said and demand apologies for that too.
