Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
3 minTim and Ray compare their own unglamorous, boring drug stories from Long Island, including acid trips at chain restaurants and a Hilton Garden Inn, before Tim compares buying a house drunk on economic optimism right before the 2008 crash.
- 32:36Tim cruised around a parkway one time—that was it.
- 32:57He took eight Percocet and sat in a drive-through line for two hours while people did acid at Burning Man.
- 33:11Tim took acid at a bar in the Garden City Hotel and argued with someone about whether Rockville Center was wealthy.
- 33:46His other acid story: drove to a movie, friend pulled over, they ended up at a Hilton Garden Inn in Westbury where the friend worked.
- 34:11The first time he smoked pot, he went into a red dragon, ate a Three Musketeers bar, got stoned watching Hostel, then went to a steakhouse.
- 34:40The craziest thing he ever did drunk was buy a house in 2007, a month before the mortgage meltdown.
- 35:05Tim was high on Alan Greenspan's belief in the market—the infusion of capital, implicit guarantees, and endless credit.
- 35:21He imagines sitting in rehab saying he was high on the promise of infusion of capital and TARP money bailing out the system.
