They discuss how poor families evade government oversight, Moses' perspective that his siblings had it worse, and then Tim brings out Michael's actual capoeira dance-fighting troupe onto the stage as a bit.
- 31:18When you're poor as shit in America, people don't give a shit about you—as long as you're not fucking up rich people's lives, you can do whatever.
- 31:52Tim describes meeting Moses as encountering something legitimate—a person who genuinely went through something, unlike his own acting denial which he frames as a sob story.
- 32:24Moses's siblings took the brunt of the weird childhood and now rebel by becoming the greatest parent, going to every student council meeting to fight for their kids' education.
- 33:05Brazilian dance fighting team Michael and the Way interrupts the show—described as a full show with no fucking, all virgins in their 30s.
- 34:22Moses on what he'd say to Michael: no anger, just honest questions, because everything he's told Tim could be bullshit and is all perception.
- 34:44Moses's siblings remember living in a nice house in Shaker Heights, Ohio with a pool and their dad working for GM, contradicting Moses's entire bus narrative.
- 35:18Moses's dad now claims he was never gay, but Moses's mom says she caught him in a bath with a man on their wedding day—a logistical impossibility Moses finds suspicious.
