Kevin describes losing his college golf scholarship trajectory after gaining weight and becoming isolated his freshman year away from his Christian community, eating alone and not speaking to anyone for days.
- Kevin was an all-state golfer in high school and played in college, but freshman year derailed everything.
- He gained 50 pounds his first year, lost confidence in himself, and had days where he never spoke to another person.
- Tim contrasts this with his own experience of constant talking, saying he goes to bed having spoken thousands of words to strangers.
- Tim recalls boarding a bus during the 2003 Bush-Kerry election, stoned and politically incoherent, ranting to random passengers about politics.
- Being an idiot about politics without thinking deeply is actually a nice life, and people out there still do it with Trump the same way.
- Tim notes his friends bump into each other occasionally and mention setbacks like a TV purchase pushing them back years on their life plan.
