4 minComparison of Long Island's scoundrel culture to gentrified Brooklyn, followed by a story about a Park Slope birthday party encouraging naked kids versus a wholesome Bay Ridge preschool birthday.
- 22:03Long Island can never be gentrified because there's no trains—gentrification requires the MTA, not the Long Island Railroad.
- 22:19Real scoundrels stayed on Long Island while Brooklyn's scoundrels fled to be hip and bohemian elsewhere.
- 22:42Tim tried to do projects about Long Island but they all failed because nobody in LA cares what Long Island is.
- 23:11At his daughter's Park Slope preschool birthday party, hippy parents encouraged the children to be naked to express themselves.
- 23:44At his daughter's Bay Ridge preschool birthday party, an old-school dad threw an egg at another dad for wearing a Boston Red Sox shirt.
- 24:03Tim prefers his daughter growing up with old-school New Yorkers and Chinese families rather than gentrified hipster kids.
- 24:26Every Chinese family at the school has their 150-year-old grandparents picking up the kids because the parents work at the store.
- 24:53After play dates with Chinese friends, his daughter doesn't want to look at an iPad and plays with letters and numbers instead.
