from Mike Recine · #142
Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
5 minDiscussion spirals from why people chase money to a friend's nightmare custody battle where his ex falsely accused him of molesting their kid, then into Tim's hardline abortion jokes.
- 5:31Girl's Facebook post about a dead classmate: 'R.I.P. God called another angel home,' but Tim questions whether God actually needed this particular person.
- 5:45God's recruitment strategy for heaven—why would he need a random guy from Delray Beach when he already has Richard Pryor and Mozart?
- 6:27Cousin in Delray Beach: in and out of rehab for heroin, embodies Florida itself with matted-looking hair and complete commitment to the lifestyle.
- 7:08Family group text has two tiers—one branch doing well (kid got into Villanova), the other just celebrating that everyone's still alive on Earth.
- 7:58People complain society measures worth by money, but Tim asks: what else is there? If you do something valuable, don't you get paid?
- 8:15Spending your whole life chasing money is probably bad, but if you spend no part of it trying to earn money, what exactly are you doing?
- 8:49Heroin gives people focus—part of the opiate crisis is that it's something to do, and people addicted to it are never bored.
- 9:25Red Kumpet joke: 'I don't wanna do heroin, but you try to make friends after 30.'
- 9:38Tim on whether he wants a family while doped up: probably not—imagines it would be with another horrible person, raising two horrible people, a family of demons.
