Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
4 minExtended riff comparing Boston cream pie, coconut cream pie, and chicken deluxe sandwiches, followed by Tim complaining about being forced to sit at a communal picnic table restaurant with strangers after the show.
- 21:38Tim describes the weird physical plateaus of weight gain, where you suddenly feel qualitatively fatter and can't move your body the same way.
- 22:29Someone named Jack Kennedy Face gave him a homemade pumpkin pie after an event, which Tim didn't ask for and doesn't particularly want.
- 23:07Tim insists on getting a Boston cream pie with a theme instead of something arbitrary, then describes what's actually in a Boston cream pie versus a chocolate cream pie.
- 23:33He used to go to the Olympic Diner with his parents and order chicken deluxe sandwiches with coconut cream pie that came out of a can.
- 24:21Two comics took him to a Boston fish restaurant where you sit at communal picnic tables with strangers, which is apparently the move up there.
- 25:12Tim refuses to sit at picnic tables with people he doesn't know unless it's a natural disaster—he finally spoke up and got a real table during what he implies was his own difficult period.
