Tim explains how obvious it is when addicts fake being sick, then circles back to how ironic it was that he and his friends, warned constantly about being kidnapped, were actually the neighborhood's own drug users buying coke from "bad people" they considered friends.
- Tim on how obvious it is when people are faking sickness to get drugs.
- Gang initiation stories were probably myths, though there was a lot of myth-making when he grew up.
- The myths usually involved people coming to kill you or kidnap you.
- On Long Island, kids were warned constantly about being snatched, though it rarely happened.
- The funny part: while parents warned them about kidnappers, Tim and his friends were cocaine addicts stealing from their families.
- Tim's mother didn't realize he and his friends were the actual bad people she was warning them about.
