Tim and Ray riff on sexuality, being 'credits to the orientation,' and Tim's fantasy of being a plumber, before passing a pet hotel and laundromat that spark heroin-addict-neighbor memories.
- Tim thinks he could advance further in life if he were straight, though it's only a slight advantage in entertainment.
- Women have told him online that he lays pipe well, assuming they meant actual plumbing work since he's a laborer.
- Tim wishes he'd been a plumber—the job pays well and is like assembling adult Legos.
- Long Island's carb-heavy food culture: fast food pizza and pasta restaurants replacing businesses like the old Blockbuster.
- The town is so unsafe that urgent care facilities, methadone clinics, and lock stores proliferate to handle the consequences.
- Tim was skateboarding outside his house in sixth grade when a middle-aged man approached him and started reminiscing about the old days.
- His mother came outside and yelled at the man to get away from her boy, suggesting the encounter may have had sinister intent.
- Movies wrongly portray pedophiles as fat, greasy men, when in reality titans of industry and politicians are the ones actively engaged.
- The man who approached Tim was probably looking to pick up a kid, and Tim notes the predator wasn't going to be him.
