Reading a book called The Cold Vanish, Tim goes on an extended rant that people who camp for extended periods in national parks are deeply sick, mocking Burning Man tech elites and telling people to go to work instead of chasing spiritual experiences.
- Instagram people taking cliff photos who die immediately fills Tim with hope.
- Week-long treks into the woods are a problem; joggers should just run on the street.
- Tim is sick of corporate tech people pretending to care about nature when they don't.
- Goldman Sachs employees and ICE security designers doing virtual Burning Man this year because they can't dress up as weird steampunk angels in the desert.
- These Burning Man types recharge themselves to go back to their offices and program how many family members people should fight with.
- Stop pretending to be a connoisseur of the natural world—you're a demon from hell, so own it.
- Old Wall Street types like Michael Douglas just said they liked winning; they didn't pretend to love Yosemite.
- Ben was suspended for a week after an LA Times article about multiple rape allegations, and he's now back on the show.
