3 minTim argues the Supreme Court's travel ban ruling is a hollow gesture since it excludes Saudi Arabia despite its 9/11 connection, then they briefly riff on pride week before drifting into a bit about internet providers and a scammer named Louis Gomez at Sandals resort.
- 3:59Tim argues the travel ban is a needless gesture because it excludes Saudi Arabia, the country that attacked on 9/11, making the whole thing seem performative rather than genuinely aimed at preventing terrorism.
- 4:49The constitutional question of whether the president can impose a travel ban remains unclear and up for interpretation.
- 5:21Tim pivots to a bit about arguing with an internet provider, with Ralph demanding they stop throttling after paying, and Luis Gomez allegedly taking all the bandwidth money to Sandals resort.
- 5:44Discussion of Sandals resort featuring slides and sexual atmosphere, contrasted with the Tropicana in Vegas where you have to keep your pants on.
- 6:11Tim clarifies the rules about exposing yourself at a resort: you need consent from people and must be in a private area, not at the buffet.
- 6:24Having fun in the elevator at a resort is fine; Tim suggests nobody really cares in that context.
