Haley brands Tim as authentic American-royalty Ralph Lauren energy and Ray as a wild, John C. Reilly-esque eccentric character, leading into talk about Will Arnett dates, ideal wealthy first dates at the Four Seasons pool room, and dating across class lines.

In this bit9 moments
  • 30:31Tim's style icon is Ralph Lauren—everything polo, American royalty, patriarchy, authority, and comfort.
  • 30:51His Chevy Suburban, though heavily financed and repossessed, epitomizes the brand he's created.
  • 31:03Ray's persona compared to late Bobby Fischer—a genius in a park making controversial statements about Israel.
  • 31:16The Bobby Fischer type: animals understand him, carries a flip phone instead of an iPhone, defecates in gardens that rich people love.
  • 31:55Tim on LA actors: they all suck, they're 45 years old playing in bands and trying stand-up.
  • 32:19What makes a perfect date for a wealthy woman—a black car and the Four Seasons pool room, where you have caviar and champagne but don't necessarily eat.
  • 32:53Starting a relationship at an upscale venue like the pool room creates anticipation for what comes next; starting at a dive bar leaves nowhere to go.
  • 33:33The question of whether a wealthy woman should take a blue-collar guy out and show him experiences, or if class differences make dating impossible.
  • 34:07Dan Soder's relationship with a woman of lower financial status didn't work out—wealthy people typically don't date down.
