  • Maniscalco's premise: if the whole city is in flames, someone must be starting them — but how, since he can't even get his own grill going.
  • Tim agrees with Maniscalco's observation that starting a fire is actually difficult.
  • People criticized the bit as toned-deaf, but Tim thought it was great and valid.
  • Tim's concern: letting drug-addicted, mentally ill psychopaths run around the city with gas cans is a terrible idea.
  • This scenario reads like it's out of a Stephen King novel.
