He riffs on the pointlessness of fostering pets, cats' contempt for humans, Nicolas Cage's upcoming Tiger King movie, and imagines rich friends' absurd pandemic hobbies like learning Mandarin and baking focaccia.

In this bit9 moments
  • Tim pitches fostering a cat as an activity, noting the absurdity of a cat having zero attachment to its foster.
  • Cats are the funniest animal because they hate human beings and are disgusted by them, viewing imprisonment in a home with pure contempt.
  • Tim compares watching Tiger King to observing that humans are fundamentally fucked across the board, regardless of size or power.
  • Nicolas Cage will star in a new Tiger King movie, but the real Tiger King was a moment that's already passed and won't matter when the film arrives.
  • During quarantine, people are discovering things like white chicks that will later define this period—similar to how people retrospectively ask about Mandarin lessons and focaccia bread.
  • Wealthy white people in quarantine are pretending to live different lives: learning languages, baking, cashing in on inheritance taxes, hiring financial planners, and renting Airbnbs to escape the nightmare they've created.
  • Tim uses Airbnb deals during quarantine to roleplay living another life, but knows he'll have to return to the nightmare he's built for himself.
  • At least his nightmare proves entertaining from any view, which is something.
  • Tim approaches doing a Zoom call about all this.
