Tim and Ray recall going to Nobu in Malibu, spotting Logic, being seated facing the wall, and Ray's insane decision to film the restaurant on his phone, prompting a debate about restaurant etiquette and privilege.
- Tim compares Chappelle's comedy to Carlin's, arguing Carlin had construction and a point while Chappelle just announces he's being controversial.
- Nobody needs an hour from a comedian unless they're a legend—most comedy specials are only watchable because they were already vetted and released.
- Tim and Ray go to Nobu in Malibu without a reservation and get seated at the sushi bar facing the wall so other diners don't have to watch them eat.
- Ray swivels around at the sushi bar and starts filming the restaurant with his phone despite Tim warning him it's insane and inappropriate.
- Tim tells Ray he's lost his mind—they're already conspicuous, and Ray turns around filming like a maniac in a high-end restaurant full of celebrities.
- Ray claims he was only thinking about his girlfriend Lucy and wanted to show her the nice place, just taking a picture.
- Tim explains Ray was filming, not making a documentary—though filming random people at Nobu would still be wrong and probably criminal.
- Nice restaurants are the only place that can't legally keep Tim out, which is why food is his only luxury since he can't access country clubs or private estates.
