They discuss the state of live comedy touring as COVID cases fluctuate, and Tim worries that Silicon Valley figures on Clubhouse want the pandemic-driven digital lifestyle and content moderation to become permanent.
- Tim jokes about performing live shows by squirting breast milk at haters and making white russians with it.
- Coronavirus cases are going down, which Tim notes makes people angry because many are invested in the pandemic never ending.
- Tim and his tour stopped shows in October when cases were rising, and are now returning to some markets as cases decline.
- Life won't suddenly snap back to normal—it's an imperfect reality of gradually figuring out how to do things safely.
- Sitting in a room for two years isn't life, even though nobody wants people to get sick or suffer long-term illness.
- Silicon Valley people love the pandemic and claim on Clubhouse that pandemics will recur every five years, requiring apps to live.
