About this episode

Tim Weichselbaum delivers a monologue critiquing reservoirs and discussing various absurdities in the music world and stand-up comedy.

Tim dusts off his analog gear once a financial quarter to deliver another highly esoteric monologue. This time, he goes on an impassioned rant exposing the dark truth about reservoirs, arguing they are just glorified, man-made puddles full of rotting trees that could never compare to natural lakes. The episode then pivots to the absurdities of the music world, examining the uncomfortably high barrier of entry for playing the flute and why The Beatles were smart to avoid it. Finally, Tim questions Louis C.K.'s claim that he doesn't do comedy for audience approval, sharing his own blunt thoughts on the true motivations behind stand-up before unceremoniously signing off for the rest of the quarter.
