Tim discusses comedy clubs starting to reopen at reduced capacity, doubting it will feel like real comedy, and reminisces about a chaotic gig in a poorly designed San Antonio mall club before eating Magic Spoon on mic.
- Tim on comedy clubs reopening at 25% capacity — he's worked hard to perform full rooms and doesn't think this looks fun.
- He's hoping the 25% capacity isn't permanent and expects to eventually play these smaller shows if normalcy doesn't return.
- His shows feel like a crazy guy who's held people hostage in a mall — that's the energy he markets himself with.
- Some of his best performances were for 14 people in a 500-seat room at an Improv in San Antonio that nobody could find.
- The San Antonio mall was so poorly designed that the club was on the fourth floor, which he jokes nobody in San Antonio will take.
- Tim pivots to a Magic Spoon cereal bit, claiming it cures and prevents Corona.
- He doesn't feel guilty eating Magic Spoon because it's marketed as healthy, though guilt about health has been creeping in since Covid.
- Tim riffs on burning the roof of your mouth with cereal — the razor-sharp edges cut your mouth and it hurts worse than anything.
