Tim and Ray recount Ray's disastrous comedy set in front of older wine-drinking Trump-supporting Bruce Springsteen fans in West Cape May, NJ, including a heroin joke and a feminist bit about "fisting on the subway" that got him booed off stage.
- Ray introduced as one of the most famous cinematographers in the world, been in LA three days telling everyone how Hollywood works
- Tim explains the new studio is from an undisclosed location to keep fans from showing up uninvited
- Ray's catastrophic bombing at a winery show in West Cape May, New Jersey in front of the wrong audience
- The room was filled with older wine people, trashy but not the podcast's kind of trashy—Billy Joel fans
- People like Springsteen until he writes political songs; they misread 'Born in the USA' as pro-America while ignoring 'Born to Run' and '41 Shots'
- Tim attended Bruce Springsteen at Madison Square Garden in 1999 with his aunt Deb; '41 shots' about Amadou Diallo emptied the room
- Ray went on stage and immediately got a laugh with one great sentence that pleased the crowd
- Ray's heroin joke about addicts making new friends in their 30s killed, but Cape May's families had lost kids to opioids
- The crowd turned on Ray, yelling 'move on' as he dug deeper into heroin material, eventually telling him to shut up
