In this bit10 moments
  • Tim proposes calling his next special "Too Many Blacks" to test what's actually allowed based on identity.
  • Jewish community's response to his special about Hasidic life is mostly positive, with occasional hate speech complaints.
  • Strimel hats in Williamsburg cost around $1,500 and are genuinely beautiful, though most people don't discuss Hasidic culture in a fun way.
  • Hasidic Jews aren't worried about YouTube commentary because they can't access it on flip phones, making them more or less like the Amish.
  • Despite the restrictions, Hasidic men cheat on their wives with fat Black hookers, seeking something radically different from what they're allowed.
  • Tim witnessed a rabbi dropping off a fat Black hooker in Montreal, the visual contrast being striking and somehow admirable.
  • People born into restrictive religious communities are still freaks who need an outlet, regardless of how strict the environment is.
  • Tim took his nephew on a hike near a New Jersey mall and was warned away from a cruising spot by a man who knew what went on there.
  • The wooded area behind the mall was a Vietnam-era gay hookup spot with men sitting on benches, part of a whole hidden ecosystem.
  • There must be a Jewish version of these secret gay cruising spots hidden throughout communities.
