Tim and Ben speculate about what triggered Dino to shoot his parents, debating inheritance versus a spur-of-the-moment argument, and Tim riffs on blaming steroids and Trembolone, suggesting Paul Thomas Anderson make a movie about it instead.
- Tim questions why the person making the complaint doesn't make a movie themselves if they're so critical.
- He brings up paying his wife way too much money and struggling to afford a condo in Miami as a result.
- Tim notes he's now paying for Dino's legal defense while maintaining that he's innocent until proven guilty.
- Tim speculates that trembolone—Chinese steroids—made Dino go insane, pointing out he's 5'9" and 235 pounds.
- His guest pushes back, saying Tim blames everyone else—China, trembolone—instead of acknowledging Dino made the choice to shoot his mother.
- Tim theorizes the shooting might have been motivated by an inheritance dispute or getting cut out of the family business.
- He dismisses the inheritance theory, saying his guest watches too many movies and doesn't understand how real life works.
- Tim suggests it was probably a spur-of-the-moment argument with a gun in the car, not premeditated.
- While acknowledging roid rage as a factor, Tim argues the parents weren't blameless either, noting Long Island parents are rarely completely innocent.
- Tim calls out Paul Thomas Anderson and Adam McKay, suggesting they should make films about suburbs now where people on trembolone kill their parents instead of nostalgic 70s movies.
