* The season 2 compilation reveals that Tim was the first person Steve met, and he gave Steve burger money. Fans were quick to point out this meant that Tim likely saw a seemingly homeless man in clown makeup dig himself out of the ground, then decided working for him at a food truck was a good idea.

* After another (non-Steve) customer arrives and orders a burger, Penny goes to check with Tim that they still serve them "despite it all". When he turns around to face her, she discovers him to be Steve, with Tim's clothes and color palette. Steve manages to wheeze out ''"A pleasure to meet you, my name's'' '''''TOM!'''''''"'', before Tim appears from the front of the truck and a terrified-looking Steve teleports Tim's hat, glasses and apron back to their proper owner before teleporting away himself. Tim and Penny's only response to this is to calmly agree that Steve has "a weird vibe."
