Tim discusses his birthday, joking that the Irish don't like being celebrated the way Jews, Arabs, and Italians do, and recounts his birthday party at The Stand comedy club, complete with a Saddam Hussein-esque bust, a sword swallower, and a contortionist.
- Tim thanks everyone for birthday wishes but doesn't love birthdays himself.
- Even at his party last night with cake, Tim joked it was for the ceasefire and blew out the candle to avoid the spotlight.
- Birthday doesn't actually give you special privileges—throwing coffee in a barista's face wouldn't be okay just because it's your day.
- Tim threw a party at The Stand Comedy Club, initially wanting just an open bar and pizza.
- The Stand owner decided to go all out instead with a sculpture of Tim, a sword swallower, and a contortionist—Tim paid for it all.
- Tim's friend Dan Inman joked the owner probably thought this could lead to production work, then laughed and said to bang him over the head anyway.
- The sculpture they made looked like Saddam Hussein's birthday party—walking in, you'd think Tim was a psychopath.
- Birthday parties aren't fun when it's your birthday because you spend the whole time working the room saying hello to people.
- An old high school friend asked Tim when they stopped being friends, suggesting it was around 2008.
