Louis and Tim recall staying at a filthy, falling-apart Red Roof Inn with exposed wires and a price list for stolen items, and nearly getting into a fight over a lost reservation.
- Tim remembers when he started comedy, imagining he could make $50,000 a year performing at clubs like the Funny Bone.
- His first Red Roof Inn stay involved a strip club and a conflict with the desk clerk over a pre-reserved suite.
- The motel staff claimed they had no record of the reservation despite Tim having pre-booked it.
- The Red Roof posted prices for items guests were likely to steal—microwave, picture frame—as warnings rather than actual charges.
- The hallway smelled like mold and the shower curtain was falling apart, with Tim confirming it was at least six or seven years ago.
