Tim jokes that military obesity doesn't matter anymore since modern warfare is fought with drones and DARPA tech by 'slovenly' button-pushers rather than ripped Navy SEALs, then riffs on a story about a young Marine hookup.
- Military recruitment struggles because everyone has become obese, but the solution is high-tech drone warfare operated by fat guys playing video games.
- There's nothing more American than a disconnected fat slob in a room killing people via video game.
- SEAL training should just involve handing someone a Big Mac and asking who they'd kill, then promoting them if they say everyone.
- Modern warfare doesn't need fit people—it needs slovenly operators with numb fingertips willing to press buttons.
- Tim recalls sleeping with a ripped but ignorant 24-year-old Marine from Southern California who didn't understand what was happening.
- Tim met an 18-year-old from Kansas who wanted infantry combat but turned out to be smart, so now he's behind a computer livid he can't kill people face-to-face.
- People who want to kill others should go into the military instead of doing it at home.
- America has the best murderers and homicides in the world, though some from Chicago aren't as good.
