The Kid Who Bragged About Never Going Anywhere Nice

A rant about a young platonic friend who kept awkwardly gushing about how fancy Musso and Frank's was, spiraling into a broader complaint about poor people who wear their lack of worldliness as a badge of pride instead of trying to improve, plus a tangent about a well-endowed drummer who loved fettuccine alfredo.
- Tim questions the addiction to bragging about unfortunate circumstances and having nothing.
- There's a perverse pride now in having nothing, like it's something to be applauded.
- Middle-class comedians think it's funny they don't have money—it's lazy, not cute.
- Tim describes taking someone to a nice restaurant where they say it's the nicest place they've ever been.
- People celebrate their lack of worldliness and ignorance of nice things as if it's an accomplishment.
- People confuse their laziness with being denied something or disadvantaged by the rich.
- A young drummer came to Tim's hotel room with Domino's pizza he'd ordered.
- The drummer wanted to microwave the Domino's pizza before sex—which made no sense to Tim.
- Every thin guy with a big dick from rural or suburban areas loves fettuccine alfredo.
- Tim had to order two child portions of fettuccine alfredo to make one adult portion for the drummer.
