Tim discusses the recall of San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin and the city's harm-reduction drug policies, riffing on fentanyl, addicts, and a romanticized 'junkie chic' aesthetic he claims to find appealing.
- Chesa Boudin, the San Francisco district attorney, was just recalled in an election.
- Boudin treated drug addicts the way Tim treats friends who aren't on drugs—ignoring them completely.
- San Francisco has almost no Republicans; they all left already, so the left recalled one of their own.
- San Francisco's harm reduction policy creates areas for drug users to use safely, but many overdose and die.
- Fentanyl makes it easier for people to use drugs in San Francisco than other cities.
- Tim jokes that fentanyl is good and recommends friends get a drug addiction since it's not a bad way to die.
- There's something glamorous about being a real junkie on the street, which Tim finds attractive aesthetically.
- Tim romanticizes the image of a troubled junkie locked in her room, her pain traced back to childhood trauma.
- Tim argues it's important for children to see people seizing, foaming at the mouth, and breaking into cars on the streets.
