Tim criticizes comedians who are using the D'Elia scandal to complain about their own lack of stage time and success, arguing D'Elia earned his spots regardless of the allegations.
- Hope is not that powerful—facts, gravity, and immutable laws occasionally fly in its face.
- Tim expresses hope there's no truth to allegations D'Elia was messaging underage girls.
- Asked if he'll get a better spot at the store without D'Elia around, Tim admits yes, then jokes he's kidding.
- The situation is genuinely bad for people who knew D'Elia and are disappointed and disgusted by it.
- Everything Tim gets involved in gets destroyed—subprime mortgages collapsed, Adam McKay dissolved his company, Anthony Bourdain's company was producing his show before Bourdain's death.
- Tim arrives at every party as the cop cars are being seen through the window—he's a countdown to disaster.
- Tim has sympathy for the victims who were messaged and made uncomfortable, but not for comedians complaining about losing spots.
- Chris D'Elia earned his spots at the Comedy Store through hard work, killed harder than anyone Tim's seen there.
