Tim discusses being made godfather to a friend's baby and the resulting liability of friendship, then recounts a humiliating childhood memory of wearing a cat sweater to Le Cirque with his mother.
- Tim becomes godfather to his friend Dan's six-week-old child and immediately gets hit up for money.
- Dan doesn't realize how good his life actually is, so Tim tells him constantly.
- Tim describes the nightmares and horrors of his own life to illustrate the point to Dan.
- The maitre d at Le Cirque immediately judged them upon arrival, acting like trash had walked in.
- Tim compares walking into Le Cirque in that sweater with his mother to getting shot by police—he thinks they're on par in terms of trauma.
- Tim insists he should talk to victims of police violence because they'd agree the sweater incident was equally bad.
