Gary mocks New York friends who fled to Miami during COVID and quietly moved back, reaffirms New York's supremacy over Austin/Miami/L.A., discusses his easy sleep, and closes with advice about timing and humility aimed directly at Sam Bankman-Fried.

In this bit6 moments
  • Tim's New York friends moved to Miami post-COVID claiming they'd stay, but they all came back; he won side bets on their delusion.
  • Miami, Austin, and other cities are great to visit, but compared to New York they don't exist—New York is the greatest city in the world.
  • Tim sleeps like a light, straight through seven to eight hours without waking up or needing to piss, no stress.
  • Advice for people with an idea that hasn't worked: timing might be off, or you might need to bring in a partner rather than going solo.
  • Fifty percent of something meaningful is better than a hundred percent of nothing; humility is a huge factor in success.
  • Sam Bankman-Fried, if you're listening, look in the mirror and be honest about whether you can execute your idea or need help.
