Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
3 minTim and Ray riff on never being 'summer people,' fantasizing about being a boatsman, and pricing out impossibly expensive hotels near East Hampton for Tim's upcoming Steven's Talkhouse gig.
- 43:11Tim never lived for summer as a kid, despite getting severe sunburns that left his back covered in blisters.
- 43:39Fat people and poor people don't live for summer the way wealthy people do.
- 44:01He knew a guy who strapped a kayak to his Jetta and went fishing every day after work.
- 44:35Tim sees himself as one degree away from being a boatsman who could navigate the open sea and prey on people.
- 45:08He has a gig coming up in late July at Stephen's Talkhouse in Amagansett or East Hampton.
- 45:28Hotels in the Hamptons don't want you staying just one night—a standard king room costs $900.
- 45:52Elites do an amazing job separating themselves from ordinary people once they get out of the city.
