Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
4 minTim and Ray reminisce about nightly Taco Bell runs during their broke, aimless period on Long Island, riffing on cold Taco Bell food, threatening the drive-thru staff, and Tim's compulsive Uber Eats habits.
- 38:53Driving back to Long Island together, smoking Marlboros at 2 a.m. and hitting Taco Bell drive-thrus.
- 39:31Tim screaming at Taco Bell workers for nacho cheese and hot sauce, threatening to kill them when they got off work.
- 39:52Ordering Taco Bell on GrubHub from his apartment and feeling like a complete dirtbag.
- 40:22Getting way too much Taco Bell delivered but they forgot the soda, making it cold and inedible by the time it arrived.
- 40:39Taco Bell has to be piping hot or it's just styrofoam with sour cream—if he were a better man it would be a wake-up call.
- 40:57Delivery Taco Bell only gets microwave hot, not real hot, so you can taste the artificial heat and the cheese doesn't coagulate properly.
- 41:16Cinnamon twists taste good but cause chalkboard-scraping sensations that make his teeth clench.
- 41:34Tim ran five miles every single day for a year, partly because of all those Taco Bell runs, doing real damage.
- 41:58Running through the neighborhood in winter wearing a ski mask, still semi-fat, probably getting multiple calls to the police.
- 42:15Tim was running around like a criminal through his neighborhood at night while still almost overweight.
