He addresses callers worried about the pandemic ending his stand-up career, jokes about silver linings like the stock market, and pitches the Patreon while mocking open mic flyers that say 'support live comedy.'
- Tim's aunt calls worried the pandemic means he can't do stand-up and has to do his podcast from home instead.
- He describes the horror of only communicating with fans through his podcast without having to see or touch them.
- Tim finds silver linings in the crisis: the stock market losing money is fun since he's not invested anyway.
- He pitches his Patreon—people should stop consuming everything for free and support the work he's doing there.
- Comedy shows in the backs of bars feature delusional psychopaths who should be taken out in the street and shot.
- Flyers for those shows say 'support live comedy' and 'support local artists,' which Tim finds absurd since people don't actually support them.
- There's nothing to support at those shows—they deserve to fail.
