San Antonio
Tim’s take
His main position is that San Antonio has no identity — a "nothing place" full of chain restaurants, convention hotels, and a fake-feeling Riverwalk, with Mexican food and barbecue he calls mediocre at best 2:41 5:45. He compares the disorientation of the city to the movie The Langoliers, saying nothing holds it together and it never feels like an actual city, just people wandering a mall 10:31. The same trip produces a story about a $20 blowjob offer he turns down, which he frames as more evidence the place is pointless 18:22.
The other recurring bit is size: he calls it one of the fattest cities in America, people four to eight hundred pounds moving like cattle, and uses its Denny's as the punchline in a health-care riff 44:30 40:04. Beyond that it mostly shows up as a plain tour-stop name-drop with no real comment attached 2:04 0:00 0:00 34:26.
