Dan jokes about a rumored Billions Miami spinoff implying he's fallen on hard times, then tells the story of his manager pushing him into an ill-fitting MTV Guy Code spinoff and a proposed Harvey Weinstein parody that never happened.
- Tim worries about rumors he might appear on Billions Miami, claims he'd be visibly on heroin if he did.
- His manager pitched him absurd ideas early in his career, including going on tour in blackface as Lizzo.
- Manager suggested a Harvey Weinstein parody; Tim correctly identified it as making fun of rape victims.
- Guy Code ended and the creator pitched Guy Court, a spinoff where cast members served as lawyers and judges.
- Tim rejected the Guy Court idea as ridiculous and not his personality, then asked for crazy money anyway.
- They accepted his price for four episodes; he did the show and admits it didn't fit him but he needed the work.
- Networks never let anything die, as evidenced by endless reboots like Many Saints of Newark and Breaking Bad movies.
- Tim forgot they even made a Breaking Bad movie, distinguishing between lazy reboots and successful spinoffs like Better Call Saul.
