Tim reads the real account of Saudi Arabia's 2017 Ritz-Carlton purge and 'night of the beating,' interspersed with jokes about MBS interrogating Ringo Starr and Swedish House Mafia over their wealth.
- Saudi Arabia knows how to balance things—they torture people, then let women drive to seem progressive.
- The first night of detentions in Riyadh: everyone was blindfolded and subjected to what Egyptian intelligence calls 'the night of the beating.'
- The torturers were Americans—the interrogators didn't arrive until the next day after the beatings and stress positions.
- Tim likes MBS and thinks he's great; he lives in Beverly Hills and doesn't criticize the Saudi royal family.
- The interrogators arrived knowing very little about the offshore financial stuff and were basically winging it.
- Two options when Pandora Papers leak: lock everyone in a hotel and torture them, or write real estate blogs about their stunning modern chic properties.
- It's difficult to know what to do when MBS finds out his neighbors are stealing money through the schemes in the Pandora Papers.
- Tim imagines Katie Porter kidnapping Jamie Dimon and other CEOs in a minivan dressed like a lunch lady to torture them at the Four Seasons.
- Lunch Lady Katie Porter interrogates the chained-up CEO about his monthly expenses and asks if he remembers her previous questions about how people at his bank make ends meet.
