  • 38:18Her Long Island family insisted in the doc that she couldn't have done it, claiming it wasn't like Diane.
  • 38:45He shifts to ranting about unsolved crimes involving murdered children and girls, noting there's no justice and it's all over.
  • 39:09Tim saw a three-inch roach in his hallway recently, one of the biggest roaches he's ever seen.
  • 39:21He found a massive roach in his apartment, hit it with a shoe, but hesitated to crush it because the cleanup would be insane.
  • 39:45Tim and his roommate are refurnishing their apartment and trying to fit a new smart fridge, but they need to rip out kitchen cabinets to make space.
  • 40:25He's willing to spend a thousand bucks on a fridge because he's signed a two-year lease and doesn't plan to move again.
  • 40:38Tim says if he moves out of his current apartment, he's leaving New York State entirely—no more moving around within New York.
  • 40:55He's done moving within neighborhoods or towns; the next move would be somewhere totally different, like living with coyotes.
