Tim discusses torching friendships by being too honest, and how in a city full of mentally ill people, reality-based statements get perceived as attacks.
- In Los Angeles, honesty is often recognized as an attack, especially when worded like one.
- Being an honest person is revolutionary in a city where many people are mentally ill and insane.
- Suggesting a reality-based solution gets you called a dick; people hate you for puncturing their bubble of insanity.
- Tim regrets things he said and connects letting stuff build up to what happened with OJ Simpson.
- Tim begins to ask why OJ is relevant to the pattern of unaddressed issues.
