Bert recalls awkwardly telling Netflix executives 'I got myself here,' compares it to a mortgage boss telling him to act like he'd been there before, and tells a story about a Peruvian friend who wasn't afraid to ask what words meant.
- Tim says he earned his Netflix special through stand-up work, not through being handed anything.
- In a Netflix meeting congratulating him on the special, Tim blurted out that he got himself there, which came out wrong and sounded inappropriate.
- He compares it to when he made good money in mortgages and walked around acting like he owned the place until his boss called him in and told him to act like he'd been there before.
- Tim had a friend from Peru growing up who would mispronounce words like Rottweiler and Budweiser, but wasn't embarrassed to admit when he didn't know what a word meant.
- Tim learned from that friend that it's okay to be honest about not knowing things and to be openly nervous or scared in new situations.
