Tim introduces guest Luke Tuma, riffing on Buffalo real estate prices, comparing Buffalo to Newark and Philadelphia, and mocking Luke's unsophisticated upbringing including never trying tuna tartare.
- Tim claims he was one of the only comedians who did it all—Alt, clubs, and remained respected by everybody.
- The New York comedy scene will disintegrate immediately after he leaves because he was its mascot and avatar.
- Tim says he's been getting messages all week from people trying to decide whether they should continue living on earth.
- Luke Tuma, who has opened for Tim a few times comedically, is a very funny New York comedian who grew up in Buffalo.
- Houses in Buffalo sell for around $100,000, though you can get a nice one for 16 grand.
- Luke grew up in a BMW 7 Series car and never had tuna tartare until Tim took him to open at Mohegan Sun.
