Buffalo
Tim’s take
He treats Buffalo as a running example of American decline: dead factories, dirt-cheap houses, drugs, and no other options, calling it "destitute" and "a horrible place" even while insisting he has fans there 2:20 7:53. He uses guest Luke Tuma's upbringing there to riff on the same idea — cheap real estate, no culture, binge drinking as the only entertainment — comparing it unfavorably to Newark and Philadelphia 0:41 2:17 53:30. Even in passing asides about poverty or travel, Buffalo is shorthand for bleak and stuck 5:13 55:50.
