Tim describes a sketchy childhood water park called the Enchanted Forest, discusses how divorced dads take kids on nicer trips to spite the mom, plans a Rome trip with his son, and recalls his first-ever flight to Fort Lauderdale with his girlfriend and the lead singer of Coheed and Cambria.
- Tim's parents took him to the Enchanted Forest in upstate New York and he was convinced they were trying to sell him to human traffickers.
- The theme park's best characters were generic figures like Paul Bunyan because they couldn't afford anyone from bigger attractions like Sesame Place.
- Divorced dads take their kids to cool places as a way to avoid the mother and show superiority over the other parent.
- Tim lets his nine-year-old son spin a globe to decide their Father's Day trip destination, which backfired when the kid wanted to go to Sierra Leone to find blood diamonds.
- Tim wants his son to grow up and tell his mother about all the amazing places he visited without her, like Rome this summer.
- Tim's parents took him on a family trip to Europe when he was five while he was sick, despite a doctor's warning not to fly.
- Tim didn't fly until he was 19, on a graduation trip to Fort Lauderdale with his girlfriend.
- The lead singer of Coheed and Cambria was also on that trip because he was dating Tim's girlfriend's best friend.
