Tim talks about quitting a pandemic-era game show project just because he didn't want to keep doing it, and the philosophy of prioritizing what makes you feel alive over hitting career milestones, even referencing Ghislaine Maxwell as an extreme example of 'truly living.'
- Tim wonders if he should have devoted more life to mental and physical well-being instead of the entertainment industry.
- Many of the most successful people in the business are criminally insane and can swim in money but it doesn't save them.
- Tim questions what the cost is of the cool things he loves doing.
- He jokes that heroin would eliminate the mental feeling of wondering about the cost of his career.
- People commonly ask themselves what else they could be doing, but if Tim wanted to do something else he would.
- During the pandemic he created a game show, shot episodes with comics, but didn't want to keep doing it despite people saying it was a good idea.
- You only have a certain amount of time, so do the things you want to do because it's over that quick.
- Throwing rocks from a roof was one of the funniest moments and he laughed harder than he ever had as a child.
- Questionable characters like Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell truly lived, even though they did terrible things.
- Tim's philosophy: make yourself as happy as possible without doing it at someone else's expense, but just do that.
