Tim describes getting into an Uber from LAX with a friendly driver from Perry, Florida who talks about leaving her small town, working multiple jobs, and moving to Vegas, and mentions visiting her 19-year-old son in Florida.
- Uber driver from Perry, Florida, a small hunting town, left because small towns trap you into being one thing.
- She went to modeling school and acting classes but couldn't make it in the entertainment business from Florida.
- She worked as a server at Olive Garden in Florida, preferred Applebee's over TGI Friday's.
- She moved into low-income housing when she first arrived, met her boyfriend who was a security guard at the building.
- Tim advises her to move to Vegas where rent is cheaper, calls it a better option than staying wedged into one life.
- Tim says he can't leave because he sold his soul to this thing, unlike her ability to start fresh somewhere new.
- Her 19-year-old son is currently incarcerated, though she's planning to see him during her trip to Florida.
