Tim recommends the film Noises Off, then tells the story of his second Disney World trip as a child actor forced to tap dance as the 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy' while overweight and going through puberty.
- Tim recommends the movie Noises Off, starring Michael Caine, John Ritter, Christopher Walken, and Carol Burnett, about a Broadway play falling apart nightly with cast members who hate each other.
- Michael Caine's line in the film—"Nothing could prepare us for Cleveland. It was the final horror"—becomes Tim's frame for his second Disney World trip.
- Tim was a child actor and tap dancer at a Long Island school called Legs, chosen to play the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy in a dance number.
- He was a fat pre-teen just starting puberty when cast in the role, developing what his mother called a mesomorph body that collected weight in the stomach.
