Ray tells the story of giving his phone to a busboy at Junior's in Brooklyn to charge, only for the staff to feign ignorance about its whereabouts, with Tim recounting his own "king of the restaurant" antics during the ordeal.
- 7:29Tim recounts going to Junior's in Brooklyn and ordering a massive hot dog that was double the size of the bun.
- 7:53Tim asks a busboy to charge his phone, hands it over, and the guy disappears for half an hour.
- 8:21Tim admits he's earned the role of being king of the restaurant and brings a lot of chaos by grabbing waitresses and interrogating them about menu items.
- 8:39He gets a condiment from everyone on the floor and wakes people up with demands for gravy and mayonnaise.
- 9:09Tim expresses frustration with people who need self-help books and life advice books to function as human beings.
- 9:32Jordan Peterson seems obsessed with hierarchies and people falling to the wayside, yet coddles 24-year-old men about brushing their teeth.
- 9:55Tim concedes that what Peterson is trying to do might be laudable, but he's tired of people needing constant motivation from figures like Gary Vee.
- 10:06The conversation trails off into discussion of self-help gurus and their audiences.
