Tim's childhood friend Joe calls in and recounts wild stories from their youth, including getting pulled over for smoking weed on a notorious Long Island gang block and a friend having drug-induced convulsions in a strip club chair.
- 30:56Joe grew up with Tim and is calling from Georgia to discuss trouble they got into in Tim's earlier days.
- 32:23Tim has been in two boating accidents with Joe's dad and insists Joe's father is funner than everyone.
- 33:21Tim and a friend drove a Chevy Suburban to Terrace Avenue, one of Long Island's most notorious drug and gang blocks, to smoke weed.
- 33:56An undercover cop in a silver Jeep Grand Cherokee pulled them over; the car was filled with weed smoke and the cop immediately asked where the heroin was.
- 34:41The friend in the front seat kept asking the cop "what are you doing?" in a slurred voice, leading the cop to believe he was on heroin.
- 35:05The cop held up the smoked blunt and said there's no way the friend got that fucked up from it, so Tim told the cop he's retarded.
- 35:22The same friend recently visited Joe in Atlanta and went into convulsions at a Buckhead establishment at 2 p.m. while supposedly sober.
- 36:07Joe discovered the friend had been on fentanyl and other prescription medications he didn't disclose before the convulsions started.
- 36:30Tim and Joe just left the friend having a seizure in the chair and went about their day instead of helping him.
- 37:38When Joe visited a friend's apartment on the South Shore of Long Island, the floor was covered in dog shit and the cabinets looked like a small pharmacy.
- 38:12Joe expected to find the same conditions when he returned to visit the apartment again.
