Tim and Ray plan a satirical musical sketch parodying Bobby Short's 'I Happen to Like New York,' contrasting romanticized Manhattan imagery with homeless addicts in Penn Station.
- Tim and Ben want to film a Bobby Short parody sketch renting out the Carlyle hotel.
- They were sitting in Penn Station surrounded by homeless people and addicts vomiting, which got flashed on TV as news coverage.
- That one image—a girl vomiting amid heroin addicts scratching themselves on the floor—perfectly encapsulated the entire show and their concept.
