Tim reads a Vanity Fair article about Mar-a-Lago's colorful cast of conservative grifters and personalities in Palm Beach, including a funny anecdote about a die-hard Republican immigrant waiter serving Roger Stone and Laura Loomer.
- Tim recalls crashing an all-you-can-eat Mother's Day buffet without a mother, just to feed themselves on shellfish.
- People obsessed with politics are boring because politics obscures the deep human truths that art is supposed to reach.
- Those whose entire existence revolves around politics find it deeply unfulfilling, especially when they realize the disconnect between what they claim and what actually happens.
