Tim and the guests discuss how their parents were terrified of trampolines, pools, and lawsuits, and how that fear kept comics broke while waiting for TV jobs that never happened.
- Successful people have no respect for rules.
- Tim parks his car wherever there's curb space without a permit.
- His family visited and worried constantly about parking violations and towing.
- Middle-class people walk around all day consumed by fear, but nothing usually happens.
- You should learn when and how you can break the rules, then choose where to do it.
- You need to not care about financial consequences to actually make money.
- Fearful comics lost everything—their possessions ended up on Craigslist while they waited for shows being phased out.
