Bert reflects on his relentless touring schedule, being told by a comic that fame 'doesn't go away,' and disagreeing because he watched it go away for others and wants to capitalize while he can.
- Tim looks at the guest's touring schedule and calls it an amazing commitment but also incredibly demanding.
- The guest was doing six sold-out shows at the DC Improv when Tim first met him, still not yet broken to the theater level.
- Tim got fired from Travel Channel with no podcast money coming in and remembers more successful comics leaving him mid-conversation for someone more famous.
- Tim's philosophy: make hay while the sun shines, because the success goes away for everybody eventually.
- Tim thought he had a couple weeks off before Australia but only has three days, and the pace feels insane.
- Tim asks what the alternative is—suggesting he'll keep this pace until the wheels fall off.
