Tim’s take
He rates Boston alongside New York as one of the 'realest' cities, where people grow up fast and spot bullshit early, and part of why so many good comedians come out of it 7:40 11:47. He points to a recovery benefit in Dorchester and a Boston comedy scene full of people who work with their hands rather than chase showbiz as proof of that 1:28 11:47. The one dent in that affection is a joke dismissing the whole city because it has the Patriots 1:04:32. Otherwise Boston is mostly scenery: a butterfly knife bought there by a sociopathic scout friend 54:58, a stop on his tour list 0:00, the backdrop for a teenage phone-line job breaking up fights between Boston guys 13:10, and a reference point for migrants sleeping at Logan Airport 6:56. He also uses growing up there as shorthand for a sheltered white suburban upbringing 54:07.

"these are really fun people. We're all camping together, apparently. No, not camping. The rehab people are camping. We call this the recovery community. Oh, OK. So like when you give up drugs, alcohol, you know, you could also, I mean most of these people have drugs and alcohol. I was going to say it could be Overeaters Anonymous or Gambler's Anonymous. I don't think any of them were there. I don't think OA is fucking, you know, making you go out in the woods. Right. Well, so this, they have something called Sober in the Sun. And it is a camp thing where the very sturdy population of western Massachusetts and the surrounding areas, these are woodsy people. Right. Okay? Lumberjack types. Exactly. And they're recovering from heroin, meth, crack. You think it was kind of thing where they were like chopping wood and got like a finger cut offs, they gave him some oxies and then they fell into... I mean, you don't usually think of lumberjacks doing H, but you know, it seems... Very possible. A radial saw, like went off in their back. I don't even know how to describe these pigs. When I walked onto the campground, it was interesting because the ages ranged from 2 to like 80. They brought the babies? The kids were there. They brought all the kids because it's camping. Now remember, it rained horribly all day Saturday. Some kid got pneumonia probably. Maybe some kid, they buried a few of these kids. Okay, they're like, we're not leaving. Oregon Trail Rules. We paid for the weekend. You better get right with God. You kids are shivering. Like, you better get right with God. You're gonna see him soon. You gotta take any rope, we're completely clean. I don't know how many of these people are cleaning us. I was looking at some of their eyes, I'm like, maybe they're on like a suboxone, they're on like a supplement."
