Tim reads more of the Resort Core trend article about luxury hotel merch as a status symbol, then takes a live call from a friend in Florida giving a storm surge and flooding update.
- Tim breaks down the real story behind "resort core" — it's not about fashion, it's about the collapse of human civilization.
- Examples of resort core merchandise: $218 Beverly Hills Hotel tote, $770 silk pajamas from the Peninsula London, travelers flexing with $5,000 handbags.
- Rich people used to run the world, make trains and planes and automobiles — now they're just carrying hotel totes as status symbols.
- Tim notes there's nothing for wealthy people to do anymore except collect luxury hotel merchandise, while the country's major concern is making suicide pods more efficient.
- Call from Tim's friend in Florida reporting significant flooding from the storm, worse than anticipated — neighbors' homes flooded, his own property spared by inches.
- The storm surge was far more extreme than people expected, though Tim's friend needs to go record his own podcast.
