In this bit10 moments
  • Tim imagines himself at a Malibu community meeting about public safety and machete attacks.
  • Opening the speech with vague familiarity: "Many of you know me, I've lived in the community for years."
  • "Malibu is a special place" — getting emotional while staring at the crowd.
  • Tim announces his anger: "I'm sorry but I'm fucking mad" about freaks with machetes cutting out people's eyes.
  • Drawing the line against eye-cutting and declaring himself a good person.
  • Tim pivots to a personal story: a weekend homeless in the early '90s after his parents kicked him out of their Montecito home for acting erratically.
  • Sleeping in his car by Venice Beach as a white drug addict — and getting oral sex instead of eye trauma.
  • Stealing a fish taco from a local bar and receiving community kindness rather than police involvement.
  • After taking strong acid the next day, he knocked over a porta potty thinking it was a robot, but still no machete attack.
  • Returning home to his parents and promising to do his own drugs and eventually attend Yale instead of being a weird artist.
