Tim and Canal mock producer Ben's entitled behavior (expecting his hands dried, complaining about eating lobster in the Hamptons) and joke about sending him back to work at Petco/Urban Pet, where he originally worked, as a reality-check vacation.
- Tim describes his producer as entitled and admits he's made him a monster.
- The producer demanded Tim dry his wet hands while eating lobster bisque at a restaurant.
- Tim met his producer while he was working at Urban Pet, a boutique LA pet store selling mostly hairless cats.
- Tim suggests making the producer's vacation be two weeks working at Petco to keep him grounded.
- The producer's actual day-to-day life is already a vacation, but he complains constantly to his wife about it.
- Tim has taken this kid all over the world, including to the Bitcoin conference.
- Tim compares podcasting to collecting action figures, unsure if it's actually a real career.
- Tim jokes that they actually charge people money to do the podcast instead of paying them.
- Any revenue from the show goes directly to Dax Shepard because Spotify doesn't have the money to pay everyone else.
- Tim mentions having a best friend named Trevor from back home, though he clarifies Trevor wasn't his closest friend.
