Riffing on a proposal to house LA's homeless in empty hotel rooms, Tim rants about which LA hotels are acceptable (Beverly Hills Hotel, Bel Air, Langham) versus dumps like Motel 6, and vows to fight if homeless people are put in the nice hotels.
- LA voters decide whether to house homeless in vacant hotel rooms; 20,000 empty rooms available.
- Tim explains the Beverly Hills Hotel is the only decent place to stay in Los Angeles, running $1,100-$1,400 per night.
- Survey of LA accommodations: avoid Santa Monica, downtown Ritz is a dump, malibu has nowhere to stay.
- Tim acknowledges there's a real shortage of quality hotel options compared to New York.
- Motel 6 manager Manoj Patel rents rooms to vetted homeless people paid for by a local church.
- If you're staying at a Motel 6, you lose the right to complain about homeless neighbors.
- Tim would take up arms with Ron DeSantis if homeless people were housed at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
- Homeless can go to Best Western or other mid-tier chains, but not the Beverly Hills Hotel or Hotel Bel Air.
- Tim jokes the only attraction at Four Seasons Westside is his fat agent, who does tricks for bacon.
