Tim tells an extended story about buying his first house sight-unseen with his friend Brian Half, including Brian's chaotic family birthday party visit while high and getting called a disgrace by his mother.
- Tim bought a house he'd never seen, driving to the closing with no pictures online.
- Brian Half was a legendary kid who drank constantly, fell all the time, and got into endless trouble.
- When Tim told Brian he was buying a house, Brian's response was just "you're doing good."
- Brian showed up at his house to grab his paycheck for more weed but found 48 missed calls—his brother's birthday party.
- Brian's mother opened the door to both of them stumbling around high, shook her head, and said "you're a disgrace."
- Brian's father came out and asked if they ever got tired of being total Franco's.
- Tim and Brian would get high in the newly bought house and watch Reno 911 repeatedly in a 1970s-decorated space with thick carpets.
- A huge raccoon lived in a tree outside the house and would paw at the door trying to get in, unafraid.
- Brian was a wild guy who pulled Tim into a decade of chaotic fun that some people never get out of their system.
- People who don't go through that wild phase often collapse into being boring NPCs, then flip out at 40 with a midlife crisis.
