Joe and Tim discuss a double homicide near Lisa's before their time, open drug dealing outside the bar, and elderly regular Jack using a pocketknife to do cocaine while claiming he was 'building something.'
- 55:12Tim and Joe's dad would go bar hopping by boat, getting into two separate boating accidents—one landing Tim in a nest of egrets, another crashing into a bridge piling at 30 mph while the Coast Guard approached.
- 55:53They were throwing drugs out of the boat when the Coast Guard showed up asking if they'd been drinking, and Tim just said 'What's drinking?'
- 56:12A double homicide occurred outside Leases years before they started going there, with sketchy people and open drug dealing happening in and around the bar.
- 56:27You could walk into Leases and ask for blow and it turned into a trading floor where people screamed at you trying to get the lowest price on coke.
- 56:47Old people—some in their 60s—were doing a lot of blow at Leases, banging lines without giving a shit.
- 57:02Tim eventually stopped drinking and doing drugs and quit going to the bar, but still misses those people—it's still going on all the time.
- 57:21Jack lived in the boat and was doing blow in his 60s; Tim remembers the first time Jack pulled out a little fold-out pocket knife.
