America's Schizophrenic Darkness vs. UK Civility
from #294 - One Hyde Park | The Tim Dillon Show · #294

Tim contrasts America's food, fast food density, and lack of tolerance for fat people with the UK's smaller portions, smaller cities, and lack of a proper plus-size store (the disappointing 'Bad Rhino').
- America is a deeply schizophrenic place with a real darkness that only becomes apparent when you leave.
- UK food doesn't make you feel like you're dying—no excessive sugar, plastics, hormones, or GMOs in the bread.
- Fast food here is confined to one street instead of appearing every five feet, and restaurants don't stay open at 2am.
- Being fat is not tolerated in the UK; there are no Big and Tall stores anywhere.
- Tim drove an hour to a store called "Bad Rhino" expecting a DXL; it was just a few shirts in a fat women's store in a shitty mall.
- The UK closed down its American fat store because they don't want to make obesity easy or celebrated.
- Staying at the Mandarin Oriental next to One Hyde Park, the most expensive residential building in the world, with a penthouse on the market for 296 million pounds.
- Tim might make an offer on the One Hyde Park penthouse, though he's not sure if he will.
