A ButcherBox sponsor read that spirals into an extended bit about a divorced, fired man eating steak as the one dignity he has left, including an imagined phone call with his kids.

In this bit9 moments
  • Tim describes the problem ButcherBox solves: opening the fridge, staring at it for five minutes, and convincing yourself there's nothing to eat.
  • Cook a steak instead of ordering delivery and crashing into your couch.
  • Tim escalates into a monologue about a man who's been fired, rejected by a woman, but finds redemption by cooking a steak he sees in the fridge.
  • The sizzle of the steak becomes a man's last defense: no one can mess with you when you're eating a steak in the United States.
  • Tim doubles down: your ex-wife can move the kids out of state and turn them against you, but you're still their father and you've got a steak on the grill.
  • Imagined phone call with distant kids who barely acknowledge him while mentioning their mother's nice boyfriend John.
  • Tim tells the kids they should be eating protein like him instead of ice cream, then encourages obsessive steak consumption to the point doctors tell you to stop.
  • Filet mignon is a homo stick; ribeye is the masculine choice, though even New York strip is bisexual—ribeye has sex with women and men, just not in a gay way.
  • Concluding thought on ribeye's complex sexual orientation within the steak hierarchy.
