Tim eulogizes chef Carl Ruiz, recounting how comedians loved him, sharing a hilarious "human garbage pelicans" text message Ruiz sent him, and expressing regret he never got him on the podcast before he died.
- In the Northeast, funerals were social events where people would eat and relax together, unlike LA's silent retreats and yoga.
- Carl Ruiz, a chef and food personality, passed away at 44 and was funnier than most comedians.
- Carl opened La Cubana restaurant in New York and was beloved by comics like Sherrod Small, Opie and Anthony, and Vic Diaz.
- Carl texted Tim a photo with the caption 'This is what follows you when you are a food celebrity: human garbage pelicans,' showing two women in birthday hats.
- Carl invited Tim to visit his restaurant in New York and they discussed getting him on the podcast.
- Opie posted a video of Carl's apartment or hotel room in Manhattan with stacks of cash on the table, which Carl explained by saying he was "a walking felony."
- Tim wishes Carl was still alive and lived forever, calling him a vandal and emphasizing what he meant to the community.
