4 minRay describes breaking his bed, living in a windowless room in a Bushwick family house, the other tenants including a hookah-smoking Saudi kid and a prop comic he's rude to, and his secret girlfriend he has sex with on the broken bed.
- 2:04Tim lives in a windowless room in Bushwick in a family house with Asian tenants—he's not entirely sure if they're Chinese or Korean.
- 2:44This isn't a typical shared apartment situation like comedians usually do; it's a proper family house with separate rooms and a hallway.
- 3:28Other tenants share the space but aren't his friends—one is a young Saudi national who plays video games and smokes hookah on the stoop.
- 3:59Another tenant is apparently a prop comic Tim has never seen around, and Tim admits he's very mean to him.
- 4:25Tim is terse with the prop comic because he doesn't want conversations about papier-mâché Obama dolls or whatever gimmick he's working on.
- 4:43Tim imagines the prop comic on stage with ridiculous glued-together prop contraptions, everyone high-fiving and celebrating while he wants no part of it.
- 5:04Tim feels emotionally alone in the apartment—he doesn't chat with these people and keeps his distance from their world.
- 5:16The landlord, who's a cop, keeps trying to get Tim to invest in his weird investment app for saving corn or something.
