3 minTim discusses the HBO documentary about the Taconic Parkway crash ('What Happened to Aunt Diane?'), a planned bit mocking it, then drifts into stories about giant roaches in his apartment and apartment/fridge shopping with his roommate.
- 38:00The documentary 'What Happened to Aunt Diane?' follows a Long Island woman who drove drunk on the Taconic Parkway and killed herself, her kids, and three people in another car.
- 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.
