They riff on Austin's barbecue-and-lesbians reputation versus New York, Gary's refusal to ever live there or in L.A./Miami/Detroit/Florida, comparing New York loyalty to Jets fandom, and Tim tells a story about a delusional double-decker tour guide named Bernie loyal to the Bronx and Yankees.
- Everyone's saying Austin is the next thing, but Tim argues it's actually a dump and the people moving there are insane.
- Tim declares he will never live in Austin, LA, Detroit, or Florida—he's staying in New York.
- The deciding factor for staying in New York: the Jets.
- Tim recalls a tour guide named Bernie in the Bronx who refused to move despite being broke, staying only for the Yankees.
- New York has everything—it's crowded, full of people, and there's nothing Austin has that the city doesn't already offer.
- Tim moved to LA because you have to get close to the devil in the entertainment business before he eats your soul.
- As a kid, Tim was drawn to cynical, sarcastic adults who smoked outside and said rude things—he wanted to do that for a living.
