They riff on the unwritten dress codes of LA (dress like a rich dumb toddler) versus New York, including a great bit about a maître d' who wouldn't seat someone for asking about the dress code.
- Success in entertainment requires becoming a version of yourself you don't love, having to market yourself constantly.
- Tim hated when comedians would tease big announcements or tell stories about themselves.
- He claims he never bragged or told personal stories in college, even about getting involved with the Russian mafia.
- Rolling Stone discovering him forced everyone to suddenly know stories about his wild party days.
- When Tim got into comedy, he realized he'd have to talk about his crazy stories on stage because nobody knew them.
- His first joke was an attempt at Mitch Hedberg-style absurdism: "Papa Smurf's middle name was boner."
- He performed that Papa Smurf joke in overalls at an alt club and it bombed completely.
