They watch clips from Alex's documentary, including a homeless 'Pokemon trainer' who's slept in the park for four days and a woman jumping park gates at 3am to catch Pokemon, with Tim riffing on health insurance politics, and his own raccoon-feeding story in Central Park.
- 21:19Tim notes the homeless man confessed to sleeping on the street in the same clothes for four days straight.
- 21:47The homeless man's trainer name is Dankisard — a Pokémon trainer, not a person with an actual job.
- 22:28Tim imagines getting involved in Pokémon training and becoming great at it, like Trump would.
- 24:03A woman was catching Pokémon at 3am in Central Park with a homeless guy sleeping next to her.
- 24:19Tim pictures a psychopath jumping over gates in Central Park trying to catch imaginary cartoons while homeless people try to sleep.
- 24:38The homeless guy helped her catch them, even though they're not real — he's questioning why he's homeless while people chase fictional creatures.
- 24:56The homeless guy is used to being the crazy one, but the park has been invaded by people far more insane than him.
- 25:27Since the park was decriminalized for Pokémon Go, it's safer because everyone's just playing the game instead of doing drugs or murdering people.
