Tim and Ray discuss Robert Moses designing Long Island parkways with low overpasses to exclude buses and poor/black residents, then joke about whether podcasting while driving is illegal.
- The Belt Parkway is one of the top ten most dangerous roads in the world, despite being in a civilized country.
- Robert Moses designed all the parkways to Long Island with low overpasses and excluded buses, allegedly to keep poor people away.
- Tim clarifies he's not defending Robert Moses from racism charges, just noting that poor white people also couldn't get bused to the beaches.
- Tim and guest wonder if podcasting while driving is illegal, like talking on the phone.
- Tim imagines parents thinking their kid is jerking off in the bedroom with a microphone and threatening to get him to ask for subscribers.
- Tim's father and aunt both offered him places to stay in New York, though hotels were running a thousand dollars a night due to Columbus Day weekend.
