Tim and Ray contrast their working/middle-class Long Island upbringing (no Thai food, no prep school friends) with Haley's rarefied world, including her anorexic mother's eating habits and how rich wives stay thin to keep their husbands.
- 10:12Tim didn't have Thai or Indian food growing up in his segregated neighborhood.
- 10:23Ray's anorexic mother couldn't eat normal family meals, just unlimited vegetables and a little protein.
- 11:00Tim explains that maintaining extreme thinness is how wealthy Upper East Side women keep their benefactors.
- 11:39If a rich woman gains weight, she's out of the relationship entirely unless she gets sick.
- 11:53Rich people don't like disease and actively hide sick family members away.
- 12:09Tim speculates about the recent trend of female actresses getting diagnosed with serious illnesses.
- 12:21Having a disease is actually smart for a celebrity's career, opening up the charity circuit.
- 12:34Tim argues Charlie Sheen was smart to get AIDS but failed to capitalize on it properly.
- 12:50Charlie Sheen recklessly transmitted HIV to multiple people, unlike other celebrities who've had the disease.
- 13:11Charlie Sheen's HIV narrative is not compelling, though having AIDS is vintage and you don't see it anymore.
