Following the dating disaster, they debate whether excessive porn consumption is really worse than the alienation of real dating, including a tangent about a porn performer who lost his legs in Iraq.
- Tim went on a date with a 36-year-old woman who wanted to go to laser tag.
- They had a screaming match in the car where Tim accused her of being a fraudulent fashion designer.
- She called him a fat piece of shit; he complained about her ordering expensive zucchini fries.
- After they got back to his place, she sat in front of his car for two hours crying and called her mother.
- Tim prefers not to get laid and be used, which is why he'd rather stay home with porn.
- He argues for a happy medium between government-enforced morality and recognizing that excessive porn consumption has negative effects.
- One porn performer Tim used to watch went to Iraq as a soldier and lost his legs in the war.
- Back in the day he had to pay for porn subscriptions; now young people can get full-length high-quality content free.
- Tim acknowledges porn is fake—just a job interview that turns sexual—but he still enjoys the fantasy and story.
- Debating moral questions like drag queen story hours is a luxury, something people only argue about when they don't have real problems.
