Dan wraps the Orbeez story, then they return to the wealthy ex, discussing how she saw dating him as slumming with 'CC's pizza buffets,' and Tim argues she was right to end it because of the geographic/class gap with Queens.
- 35:16Tim stopped to buy $30 worth of Orbeez on Long Island with a woman he met online.
- 35:31The woman was living in a trailer in Flanders, which Tim wasn't expecting.
- 35:57The roommate announced she needed to leave and get with someone else, which Tim was fine with.
- 36:14The woman rejected Arby's and wanted chicken, which Tim didn't think Arby's even served.
- 36:30Both roommates were named Carl, creating a Shining-like situation where they referred to themselves identically.
- 37:00Tim ended the relationship by saying the rest of his life would be full of CC's pizza buffets and movies.
- 37:22She originally ended it first, saying she didn't want to be in a relationship with him.
- 37:48When she visited his Queens apartment, she came the way a president visits a third-world nation—looking for security and escape.
- 38:16During their breakup call, she asked what he expected her to do: come to Queens and watch him smoke pot with his roommate.
