5 minThe wedding bit continues into reception details: a techno DJ akin to the Chemical Brothers, sushi pizza and pizza bagel bites, an old hardscrabble Irish woman ladling out baked ziti on command, and a hypothetical fight over uneaten deviled eggs.
- 4:20Tim describes his fantasy wedding reception at a mansion like Rockefeller's or a Hearst Castle.
- 5:24Reception venue idea: Walt Whitman's house, small enough that people can dance in the kitchen and living room.
- 5:50Tim would hire a techno DJ like the Chemical Brothers rather than a live band, ruling out Skrillex.
- 6:24Food plan includes finger foods and sushi pizza cut into small bites, inspired by his mother's New Year's Day tradition of cutting Sicilian pizza and putting toothpicks in it.
- 7:08For the entrée, Tim envisions an old Irish woman ladling out a big ziti onto plates when guests say 'hit me' for seconds.
- 7:52The Irish woman would serve broiled ziti from a party hero, getting a nice crust on top after sitting out.
- 8:28Hard boiled eggs left untouched on a plate all night leads to a fight between Tim and his wife about wasted food.
- 8:44The wedding reception fantasy concludes with the couple fighting about the uneaten eggs before reconciling.
- 9:00Tim says he makes enough money to afford eggs at his wedding, establishing his commitment to the vision.
