Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
4 minTim complains that political partisans on both teams have no sense of humor about their own hypocrisy (attacking Hillary while cozying up to the Saudis), then pivots to his own subprime mortgage sales past and watching The Big Short with Ray.
- 24:18Tim jokes about finding ISIS compelling as a multimedia operation, like a 1980s action movie villain.
- 24:53Fox News crowds can't have fun with politics—everyone's locked into their red-team versus blue-team narrative.
- 25:16Bush family treated as boy scouts while Hillary's a crook, but they're all crime families and gangsters.
- 26:26Conservatives attack Hillary but then crawl into bed with the Saudis—the hypocrisy is fun to point out.
- 27:00Watching The Big Short made Tim want to go back into mortgage sales because it looked like so much fun.
- 27:21Selling subprime mortgages—Tim took one himself, house foreclosed, no debtors prison, everyone thought it would work out.
- 27:34Tim borrowed an extra hundred grand on his mortgage, used it to fix up the house and party in Vegas.
