Tim and Ben reflect sincerely on the show's growth over the year, from making sketches in a garage in 2016 to appearing on Rogan seven times and sitting next to Alex Jones, expressing gratitude to listeners.
- Tim reflects on the show's dramatic growth over the past year, calling it the most insane year of his life.
- Seven appearances on Joe Rogan Experience, including an election live stream and an epic podcast with Alex Jones sitting next to him.
- Tim and Ben used to sit in a garage in California watching Rogan and Alex Jones, wondering how they could catapult themselves into that reality.
- Building this show has been the most insane professional journey of Tim's life, eclipsing specials, pilots, and touring.
- Ben describes the show as surreal, going from making sketches on an iPhone in the garage with no camera or computer to where they are now.
- Ben says he loves Tim and thanks him for everything, noting how cool it's been to watch him get successful.
- Tim contrasts himself with other comics who make things up and lie, saying he just talks about what's real to him.
- The show's resonance with audiences, who watch, send photos, and came to live performances when Tim and Dan were touring.
- Tim admits he doesn't say it enough but is grateful for the aggressive support from both patrons and YouTube viewers who share the show.
- Tim concludes the year-end message by saying he'd give toy cars to everyone in the audience if they were there, just like Ben gave him one.
- The toy car joke lands: a car you can't afford to play with like a child.
