• 1:32:00Tim on doing comedy for 39 years by his own terms and aspiring to bring something to every performance.
• 1:32:36It takes most comedians 10 years just to become comfortable with who they are on stage.
• 1:32:56Tim argues it takes even longer to know yourself, and warns against becoming famous as a character version of yourself you're not.
• 1:33:29Chris D'Elia's example: becoming famous and extremely charismatic, with women throwing themselves at him—no handbook for handling that without a big ego.
• 1:34:29Tim's Instagram post describing himself as "comedian of some notoriety, completely true, doing the best I can with the information that I've been given."

• 1:36:41Late-night talk shows are killing themselves: Steve Colbert talking about Trump pleases nobody, since Trump supporters don't want to hear it.
• 1:36:58Tim auditioned for a plumber role on Curb Your Enthusiasm and didn't get it, though he thought he did a good job.
• 1:37:38Tim has watched Jeff Garland go from an unknown comic to "holy shit this guy kicking ass" since someone first pointed him out.
• 1:38:29Tim's thoughts on Austin, Texas: the scene has turned into something else, and he last performed there about five years ago.
