Tim talks about needing to get back to New York for energy and sharpness, contrasted with his odd, drama-filled living situation in LA and feeling he needs to live alone.
- New York diners serve competence: bacon and eggs made quick, sandwiches ready before you order them.
- Tim's currently living in a separation or divorce situation in LA with bad communication and drama.
- Crazy people are funny and good for material, but the price gets real eventually.
- He's spent his life around hucksters, thieves, liars, cheaters, circus crazies, and drunks, and wouldn't change it.
- At 35, wondering if this is it—just Looney Tunes and insanity, or if there's something else.
- People work Monday-to-Friday just to get shit-faced on weekends; an Uber driver uses smelling salts to wake passed-out passengers.
- Tim deliberately befriends people he recognizes as clinically psychopathic because they're fun.
- Fun has a real price tag on it; fun is very expensive.
- People around him can't even control how crazy they are anymore; they're just trying to smile while the ride spirals.
- He's planning to transition to living with a woman to get out of the chaos.
