Tim opens by mocking the news frenzy around him being fired from Saudi Arabia's first comedy festival, explaining it started with him confusing Dubai and Abu Dhabi during a Joe Rogan appearance.
- Tim was fired from the Riyadh Comedy Festival.
- He got the details of his Middle East gig wrong — told Joe Rogan he was performing in Abu Dhabi when he was actually booked for Dubai, and the festival organizers treated it as a major offense.
- Tim dismisses the geography mix-up as a trivial mistake despite his agent warning him about the rivalry between the two cities.
