3 minTim theorizes that people who grew up online lack worldliness and grit, contrasting old-money figures like JP Morgan and the Knickerbocker Club with modern socially awkward creators, before Ray drops in his own vomiting-at-work-event story.
- 23:20Internet-raised people are all weirdly autistic when you meet them in life — quiet, can't look you in the eye, don't know how to talk to people.
- 23:38They don't value worldliness or the grime of life; they just want clean pictures to post online and quotes from books.
- 23:58Tim describes the cleanness as more existential than physical — these people have never been punched in the face or had rough life experiences.
- 24:16At a work party, someone handed Tim drinks and he ended up vomiting on himself after mixing wine and beer.
- 24:33The problem with the show is that every time they make a good cultural point, one of them tells a story that undermines their credibility completely.
- 24:53Someone gave Tim weed at the party, he blacked out, sat down, and started vomiting on the floor next to him.
- 25:22The vomiting happened outside the building off to the side, and a few people noticed but it wasn't ideal for bringing someone to the club.
- 25:36The cops showed up while Tim was vomiting and made him get up and walk around afterward.
