He speculates about needing an immunity passport to travel for work, then pivots to a friend demanding $250k cash to invest in real estate together, leading into the story of nearly falling for a land-lease scam in Manhattan.
- Tim predicts people will eventually need to leave their houses because of mutant strains and the coming Andromeda strain, which will never end.
- A friend asked Tim for $250,000 in cash to start investing in properties together.
- Tim saw a condo in Manhattan listed for $215,000 and wondered how bad New York was to have prices that low.
- Tim almost got taken in a land lease scam and explains the pitch that real estate agents make to wealthy buyers like him.
- The scam requires cash only upfront because banks won't finance this type of transaction, which Tim initially saw as a status signal.
- Tim admits he's an idiot who's already putting his foot in the door to get robbed because he's a salesman and salesmen are easily manipulated.
