Tim closes by addressing Gary Vee defenders, riffing on LA's trendy Mosaic Church and horoscope believers, then jokes about how boring weed culture is and that everyone should go back to jail with more prisons built everywhere.
- Gary Vee fans message Tim insisting he doesn't understand their guy, but Tim says he gets it—some people need Gary Vee to motivate them to hustle.
- Tim wonders if Gary Vee has inside connections at Instagram and was upset about something, though he's heard this rumored and doesn't want to embrace conspiracy thinking.
- Tim explains he doesn't care what people say about him because he knows some of what he says has value and some is insane and ridiculous—it's meant to be entertaining.
- Gary Vee tweeted 'kindness is delicious,' which Tim compares to late-stage megachurch culture like Mosaic in LA.
- Mosaic Church attracts wealthy guilty actors and celebrities with money who sit among friends living in filth, feeling virtuous while a rock band plays on stage.
- Tim argues that cult-like churches, horoscopes, and similar belief systems work well when people are disconnected from reality.
- A woman Tim worked with at a weed job didn't show up for a week because a seagull pooped on her hand, and she decided it was a sign that it wasn't her month.
- Tim says nothing is less interesting than the burgeoning weed business, and friends who work in it try to show him what they're doing like it's Mad Men.
- At a convention with people blowing bongs, Tim jokes that maybe weed should stay criminalized and everyone should go back to jail instead.
- Tim proposes the US needs so many prisons that you can't walk a block without seeing one, and suggests putting prisons inside Starbucks and Chase banks.
