Tim contrasts other families' warm airport goodbyes with his own detached family, joking about his mother in a psychiatric institution and his father's FaceTime kisses from the golf course.
- Tim describes his Uber ride from LAX as nothing compared to the fun of his trip, then notes the airport announcements asking who's ever had a spectacular experience in LA.
- Watching other people's parents kiss and hug kids going back to college, Tim realizes he never had that—his mother sends kisses from a psychiatric institution, his father from a golf course.
- Nobody's ever dropped him at the airport and told him to go set the world on fire; instead he gets told to shut up.
- Tim says he wants to approach college boys at the airport after their parents leave and also hug and kiss them as they board, claiming that's how you meet people.
