Tim praises Chelsea's character work, invokes Louis C.K. and Bill Hicks on making fun of people you love, and says everyone knows a 'Tammy.'
- Tim explains that everyone knows a Tammy, regardless of where they're from.
- Louis C.K. made the point that you can't make fun of people if you don't love them.
- Bill Hicks could make fun of the South because he was from there and genuinely loved it.
- Tim describes how loving people and liking them allows you to make fun of them in a way that works—you're making fun of your own.
- Libby's comedy comes from genuine affection for older crackhead women in parking lots.
