00:03:55   nineties eighties and nineties singer [TS]

00:03:57   who made his career michael stipe is [TS]

00:04:00   another one who made his career having [TS]

00:04:02   unintelligible vocals mixed really low [TS]

00:04:04   who and then at a certain point he got [TS]

00:04:06   famous and people were telling him how [TS]

00:04:08   great he was and then he started going [TS]

00:04:10   into the studio in the same mix my [TS]

00:05:50   the cloud know that heroin never funny [TS]

00:05:52   heroin is in the category of rape and [TS]

00:05:54   America rules anyway let's talk about [TS]

00:05:58   the William cat program from the early [TS]

00:05:59   eighties I'm sorry I even brought it up [TS]

00:06:01   but there's a great story of billy [TS]

00:06:03   corgan in the studio and he was [TS]

00:06:41   someone who's not in the room with the [TS]

00:06:45   is the definite article it is not cool [TS]

00:06:48   to remove the definite [TS]

00:09:04   brett midland was the keyboard player of [TS]

00:09:10   the the grateful dead and he died when I [TS]

00:09:12   was that he died right at the time there [TS]

00:09:15   was a brief moment in my life when I [TS]

00:09:16   socialized interacted with socially [TS]

00:09:19   deadheads really huh [TS]

00:09:23   and i'm going to say that this was the [TS]

00:09:24   summer of nineteen ninety the summer of [TS]

00:09:28   nineteen ninety when i was living in [TS]

00:09:29   Washington DC and I went through a brief [TS]

00:09:30   period where I when I was socializing [TS]

00:09:34   with grateful dead people because i was [TS]

00:09:36   working for ralph nader at the time in [TS]

00:09:39   Washington DC and I had a lot of his [TS]

00:09:43   volunteered [TS]

00:09:44   ok that anyway that right at that time [TS]

00:09:48   brent midland died of heroin and and he [TS]

00:09:52   was a mean and and I had understood [TS]

00:09:55   understood the grateful dead for many [TS]

00:09:57   years I i knew i knew a lot about them [TS]

00:10:00   but he was he was not a Kanaan goal for [TS]

00:10:03   me member of the band like he was he was [TS]

00:10:06   like o.o who like the guy the bearded [TS]

00:10:08   guy over make sure but he died and and [TS]

00:10:11   all these people like these girls that I [TS]

00:10:13   kind of was wondering about whether [TS]

00:10:15   maybe you know what maybe we could we [TS]

00:10:18   could have a thing maybe we would take a [TS]

00:10:19   long motorcycle ride or whatever and [TS]

00:10:21   they were all crying like crying real [TS]

00:10:23   tears of sorrow at the death of brent [TS]

00:10:26   Midland and and i realized that i could [TS]

00:10:30   never I could never be a full grateful [TS]

00:10:32   dead person because I didn't have this I [TS]

00:10:35   didn't my feelings are not that strong [TS]

00:10:36   about about the about newly keyboard [TS]

00:10:39   well I mean I never I mean that guy was [TS]

00:10:41   i as far as i can tell he never said a [TS]

00:10:43   word interviews he was just like cipher [TS]

00:10:47   i'm doing a little bit of last minute [TS]

00:10:49   research because I think I may have [TS]

00:10:50   found something a little bit troubling [TS]

00:10:51   there's a pretty good chance for [TS]

00:10:53   Republicans have to cut this out [TS]

00:10:55   it seems to me first of all the Grateful [TS]

00:10:57   Dead part of problems their songs have [TS]

00:10:59   never ended [TS]

00:11:00   they're all going on somewhere that's [TS]

00:11:01   probably separate topic it seems to me [TS]

00:11:03   the keyboard players are usually the one [TS]

00:11:05   who dies in the Grateful Dead they have [TS]

00:11:09   had at least this is an old joke like [TS]

00:11:11   drummers are dumb like this is it just [TS]

00:11:13   me or do keyboard players just fucking [TS]

00:11:14   die [TS]

00:11:15   I every keyboard player but the Grateful [TS]

00:11:17   Dead had a lot of keyboard players [TS]

00:11:18   including i might add Bruce Hornsby huh [TS]

00:11:22   but who is not dead as far as i know but [TS]

00:11:25   I you know I imagined having been a [TS]

00:11:28   keyboard player in a band that was the [TS]

00:11:29   keyboard player and harvey danger before [TS]

00:11:31   before my my big bases are either watch [TS]

00:11:33   your ass buddy [TS]

00:11:34   well but this is the thing you sit [TS]

00:11:36   behind the keyboard it's a thankless job [TS]

00:11:38   you can't you can't get up [TS]

00:11:40   there's nothing exciting about right i [TS]

00:11:41   mean the band is it even in the moment [TS]

00:11:43   even in the band's peak moment at the [TS]

00:11:46   top of the set where you're just like [TS]

00:11:47   flying and your you guys are just [TS]

00:11:49   playing the plan your absolute playing [TS]

00:11:52   your number-one hit you are sitting [TS]

00:11:54   behind a desk [TS]

00:11:55   mm there's no other way to look at it [TS]

00:11:56   and so all the attempts that the [TS]

00:11:59   keyboard player might make like standing [TS]

00:12:01   up or kicking over his chair or being [TS]

00:12:03   Billy Joel or fastening your keyboard to [TS]

00:12:05   the side of a warehousing none of those [TS]

00:12:07   things can take away that the the like [TS]

00:12:12   incontrovertible truth that you are a [TS]

00:12:15   man behind a desk [TS]

00:12:15   even if you even if you have if i may [TS]

00:12:17   say a quitar that's really more of the [TS]

00:12:19   other the desktop are it's a desktop [TS]

00:12:22   you're just a guy standing up at a desk [TS]

00:12:23   and I don't know if you if you saw the [TS]

00:12:25   you saw the queens of the stone age when [TS]

00:12:28   they had the female keyboard player who [TS]

00:12:30   had worked up a keyboard stand where the [TS]

00:12:33   keyboard was actually like teetering [TS]

00:12:35   forward sonic so you could see her licks [TS]

00:12:40   you can see her licks and she was [TS]

00:12:41   playing like like over the top of this [TS]

00:12:43   thing it was the weirdest looking [TS]

00:12:44   keyboard stand and she was a cute coffee [TS]

00:12:47   girl and they were hard rock band he [TS]

00:12:49   never saw this i think that was standing [TS]

00:12:51   at a desk i'll be damned and you know [TS]

00:12:53   the thing I think you're onto something [TS]

00:12:54   here I think there are now what about [TS]

00:12:56   what about drummers do you think do you [TS]

00:12:59   think drumming is a desk [TS]

00:13:00   oh interesting because here's why I'm [TS]

00:13:03   gonna give you some examples well first [TS]

00:13:04   of all let's cover the obvious ground [TS]

00:13:06   here it's a desk of cans [TS]

00:13:07   it's a desk cans hmm now i know now the [TS]

00:13:11   thing is there have been many people [TS]

00:13:13   have tried to address this problem [TS]

00:13:14   trying to remember some specifics here [TS]

00:13:15   now as you say this this queens of the [TS]

00:13:17   stone age lady had a how-to [TS]

00:13:19   forward-leaning one I feel like guess [TS]

00:13:21   I've seen key Tars I just I just don't [TS]

00:15:24   thought you that little country thing [TS]

00:15:27   right [TS]

00:15:27   yeah but watching you play the guitar it [TS]

00:15:29   you have the you have that quality that [TS]

00:15:31   a that I IC kind of very seldom or a [TS]

00:15:35   person with an artistic impulse picks up [TS]

00:15:37   an instrument teaches it to themselves [TS]

00:15:38   and they come up with something that no [TS]

00:15:42   one else would have thought of [TS]

00:15:43   Oh like eating like playing my DS [TS]

00:15:45   backwards because i learned from fake [TS]

00:15:46   books [TS]

00:15:47   yeah or or just kind of your approach to [TS]

00:15:49   the instrument it's like oh this is this [TS]

00:15:51   is interesting i'm watching this now and [TS]

00:15:53   I'm seeing something I haven't seen [TS]

00:15:54   anything it's a different approach to [TS]

00:15:55   you use memory serves you started on [TS]

00:15:57   tennis rackets playing along to except [TS]

00:15:59   British steel I by started on tennis [TS]

00:16:01   rackets and then I've told you this [TS]

00:16:02   story and I when I went to a punk rock [TS]

00:16:04   show and it was one of those shows in [TS]

00:16:06   anchorage in the early eighties where [TS]

00:16:09   there were five bands on the bill and [TS]

00:16:11   between all five bands that was one [TS]

00:16:14   person who had never seen an instrument [TS]

00:16:16   before or it could do anything with it [TS]

00:16:17   was just it was just a DIY it was at the [TS]

00:16:20   youth center and it was just a pure [TS]

00:16:22   racket about that one of the bands came [TS]

00:16:26   out on stage and the guitar player like [TS]

00:16:27   smashed his guitar all over the place [TS]

00:16:29   and I Iran up after the after their set [TS]

00:16:34   and grab the neck of his guitar and and [TS]

00:16:38   I honestly it was like it was like Eric [TS]

00:16:40   Clapton had given me his his prized [TS]

00:16:43   Black stratocaster that how much I [TS]

00:16:45   prized this broken neck from Ann Arbor [TS]

00:16:48   that was an arbor Explorer copy or [TS]

00:16:53   something like that like to this neck [TS]

00:16:54   home and I now I had a real guitar neck [TS]

00:16:57   and this is the first kind of guitar [TS]

00:16:58   anything I had a second Holocaust [TS]

00:17:00   keyboards doesn't make any sound you [TS]

00:17:02   practice on it but it doesn't make a [TS]

00:17:03   noise and I have here here it was this [TS]

00:17:06   this Mecca was a real neck and so I [TS]

00:17:09   tried for a while to like air guitar [TS]

00:17:11   just with the neck of the guitar but i [TS]

00:17:14   found it insufficient that's like [TS]

00:17:16   masturbating with just your balls hang [TS]

00:17:20   you know i could write that if I haven't [TS]

00:17:21   tried ready for a change in a minute [TS]

00:17:23   just anyway so I went out to the garage [TS]

00:17:25   at one point and I [TS]

00:17:27   found an old chess board and i took the [TS]

00:17:31   chessboard and I attached the guitar [TS]

00:17:33   next to like it thick wooden heavy chest [TS]

00:17:36   just bored right and I and I screwed i [TS]

00:17:38   took took this screwdriver and I screwed [TS]

00:17:40   this guitar neck into the chessboard [TS]

00:17:43   accept because you remember this is the [TS]

00:17:45   early eighties where checkerboard was a [TS]

00:17:48   very popular motif and I screwed the [TS]

00:17:51   neck of the guitar into this into this [TS]

00:17:54   checker chessboard but i put i put it [TS]

00:17:56   and I put it at a at an angle so that [TS]

00:17:59   the guitar was actually a diamond shape [TS]

00:18:02   haha man writes right and then I had a [TS]

00:18:06   home-made air guitar that was no I was [TS]

00:18:11   better than a tennis racket because no [TS]

00:18:12   one had one that looked like this and [TS]

00:18:15   and I air guitar too many many many a ZZ [TS]

00:18:19   top song with that thing before I [TS]

00:18:21   decided that it was time to learn how to [TS]

00:18:23   play the guitar [TS]

00:18:24   I you know what in its own really [TS]

00:18:28   twisted way I think that's kind of [TS]

00:18:29   healthy and interesting didn't do you [TS]

00:18:31   think I mean more so more so than if you [TS]

00:18:32   just stuck with a tennis racket [TS]

00:18:34   you know what I mean you would be doing [TS]

00:18:35   a pretty standard like John Hughes movie [TS]

00:18:38   way to learn guitar right in your case I [TS]

00:18:41   think you're going a little bit more [TS]

00:18:42   backwoods and I really respect that i [TS]

00:18:44   made my first instrument even though it [TS]

00:18:46   was not actually an instrument it was a [TS]

00:18:48   fake instrument but anyhow what Les Paul [TS]

00:18:50   started maybe less bass guitars didn't [TS]

00:18:51   make sound first interesting thought [TS]

00:18:54   let's get you gotta start somewhere [TS]

00:18:55   right right I like that idea well I mean [TS]

00:18:57   this guitar and heft it had a real next [TS]

00:19:00   something i could run my hands up and [TS]

00:19:01   down and feel the frets underneath it [TS]

00:19:03   and and that you know it felt very [TS]

00:19:06   individual let's see what my top air [TS]

00:19:09   guitar records were littered Skynyrd's [TS]

00:19:11   golden platinum that's a greatest hits [TS]

00:30:50   exact circle of purple on my head [TS]

00:30:52   Oh at that exact same age yeah i was [TS]

00:31:26   up to a frozen pole that's such a duel [TS]

00:31:31   for 4 days after that I just had this [TS]

00:31:34   like there's nothing you can do you [TS]

00:31:44   no I was a good i was a pretty big [TS]

00:31:46   Hickey giver I didn't realize I was [TS]

00:31:47   doing and I think I might have been been [TS]

00:31:49   possessed or something [TS]

00:31:50   I never gave a hickey and I wouldn't [TS]

00:31:51   allow somebody to give me a key in fact [TS]

00:31:53   to this day if somebody starts sucking [TS]

00:31:54   on my neck I'm okay [TS]

00:31:56   hey hey easy easy that because i was [TS]

00:31:59   that because of your perimeter because [TS]

00:32:01   your body is a temple what's the [TS]

00:32:02   thinking just don't enjoy it [TS]

00:32:04   alright so i was at a civil war Civil [TS]

00:32:06   Air Patrol encampment in about nineteen [TS]

00:32:10   eighty-one and this was a coed [TS]

00:32:13   encampment although there i have to say [TS]

00:32:15   there were not that many girls in the [TS]

00:32:17   Civil Air Patrol but there were some it [TS]

00:32:19   was that it was and it was a it was a [TS]

00:32:21   two-week-long encampment at Eielson Air [TS]

00:32:24   Force Base in Fairbanks Alaska and we [TS]

00:32:27   were occupied we were all staying in the [TS]

00:32:29   old build barracks that had been built [TS]

00:32:32   during world war two who and at one [TS]

00:32:35   point one of the guys got a hickey from [TS]

00:32:41   one of the girls and it was this [TS]

00:32:44   terrible purple welt and there was no [TS]

00:32:48   there was no disguising it because we're [TS]

00:32:51   in uniform you know where we're wearing [TS]

00:32:54   our dress blue uniforms you can't like [TS]

00:32:56   accessorize that with a scar me and I [TS]

00:32:58   like clean Elizabeth the first camp [TS]

00:33:00   no no we weren't we will get we weren't [TS]

00:33:03   in the in Elizabethan Air Force camp [TS]

00:33:06   Dickie camp and so he had to like stand [TS]

00:33:09   there at at at inspection in his blues [TS]

00:33:12   or what I guess inspection he was he [TS]

00:33:14   would have been in his fatigues but but [TS]

00:33:16   with this giant pulsating purple mess on [TS]

00:33:19   his neck and the UH the sergeant who of [TS]

00:33:24   course was also 13 years old [TS]

00:33:26   this is the inspecting they're expecting [TS]

00:33:29   off unconditioned officer [TS]

00:33:30   yeah the noncommissioned officer I mean [TS]

00:33:33   I was 11 and the guy with the he was [TS]

00:33:35   probably 13 let's say that lets say the [TS]

00:33:36   the sergeant was 15 just dressed him [TS]

00:33:39   down in front of everybody but [TS]

00:33:41   unprofessional and you know unmilitary [TS]

00:33:43   out of uniform all this type of thing [TS]

00:33:45   and it left a lasting impression on me [TS]

00:33:48   that if you got a hickey you would be [TS]

00:33:50   out of uniform there was no you you [TS]

00:33:53   could you could not be you could not be [TS]

00:33:55   in uniform with a hickey [TS]

00:33:56   ah one unusual angle it's like they [TS]

00:34:00   don't let you get neck tattoos in the [TS]

00:34:01   Navy because you're out of uniform [TS]

00:34:03   foo so that stuck with me until this day [TS]

00:34:07   and that is a distraction to spring [TS]

00:34:08   decor and that's exactly right and i [TS]

00:34:10   don't i don't like to be out of uniform [TS]

00:34:11   you know that about me no no you see it [TS]

00:34:13   seems to me that as eclectic as your [TS]

00:34:15   wardrobe is you you have an innate sense [TS]

00:34:18   of what the what the uniform of his [TS]

00:34:21   waist called military school uniform of [TS]

00:35:39   including the cold sore that I I'm [TS]

00:35:42   really glad I kept with me and I think [TS]

00:36:44   to know what is what is busting your [TS]

00:36:45   pants allowing your pants is a thing [TS]

00:36:47   that we used to do him any military [TS]

00:36:50   which they don't do anymore which is [TS]

00:36:52   that your the bottoms the bottom hem of [TS]

00:37:01   your boots are tight on your ankles and [TS]

00:37:03   their little tactical for what we were [TS]

00:37:04   doing but that said I would love that [TS]

00:37:06   look it's super cool it's a little bit [TS]

00:37:08   you know it's not something a little bit [TS]

00:37:10   yeah a little bit 1943 but like pretty [TS]

00:37:12   cool that was so our our fatigue uniform [TS]

00:37:16   even for PT at blast pans we weren't [TS]

00:37:21   kidding around in this in the Alaska [TS]

00:37:23   civil air patrol you don't have [TS]

00:37:24   something a little less formal that was [TS]

00:37:25   still uniform in those situations where [TS]

00:37:28   we have addressed by a dress blues [TS]

00:37:30   yeah we just lose one of my favorites [TS]

00:37:32   with salt and pepper which is when you [TS]

00:37:34   have a white shirt with epaulets with [TS]

00:37:35   the rank on it and black pants that was [TS]

00:37:37   a sharp look sharp we had for what they [TS]

00:37:40   called it that our everyday was cautious [TS]

00:37:43   this is coming back to me just a little [TS]

00:37:44   bit with khaki pants and a short sleeve [TS]

00:37:46   shirt trucks leave khaki shirt around [TS]

00:37:48   and then sometimes there's a term they [TS]

00:37:51   used like with lids or something and [TS]

00:37:53   there's some term for when you have to [TS]

00:37:55   wear your hat which kind of sucked and [TS]

00:37:57   then we had we had like turning over [TS]

00:37:59   there was a slightly more informal one [TS]

00:38:00   that was a little bit little bit even [TS]

00:38:01   guerre which I think was like a white [TS]

00:38:03   t-shirt with khakis it was a little bit [TS]

00:38:05   like you know tom's of Maine is that the [TS]

00:38:07   one times of feeling the feeling better [TS]

00:38:09   and that's where your want to taste the [TS]

00:38:10   other pics at tom's of maine was [TS]

00:38:12   toothpaste and Tom's finland makes a [TS]

00:38:13   sexy drawings [TS]

00:38:15   yeah and even our gym uniforms were [TS]

00:38:16   where we were highly no prescribed it [TS]

00:38:18   you ask for swabbing the deck right the [TS]

00:38:20   khakis with like you mean this is the [TS]

00:38:21   thing and I this is getting to this [TS]

00:38:23   deeper point which is that when we know [TS]

00:38:24   when we were just that you dress out for [TS]

00:38:26   for whatever it was whatever the name of [TS]

00:38:28   uniform was this [TS]

00:38:28   is 30 some years ago but you know you [TS]

00:38:31   wear these the admiral farragut academy [TS]

00:38:32   shorts and then you either wear the [TS]

00:38:35   white admiral farragut academy shirt or [TS]

00:38:37   more often you would wear the shirt for [TS]

00:38:39   your company and of course i was in 4th [TS]

00:38:40   company and had a purple shirt so it was [TS]

00:38:42   let me everybody showed up and you [TS]

00:38:44   didn't show up in a different shirt just [TS]

00:38:45   didn't do that you know and you [TS]

00:38:46   certainly don't show up with a hickey [TS]

00:38:48   well I got thrown out for for that kind [TS]

00:40:02   University and I decided you were there [TS]

00:40:06   we were there for like two months how [TS]

00:40:20   campus for the last time i should i [TS]

00:40:23   should clarify because i was discord [TS]

00:40:24   about the caps a few times [TS]

00:40:26   but I was on the rugby team and I felt [TS]

00:40:28   somehow you know rugby shirts are very [TS]

00:40:30   expensive particularly the the realest [TS]

00:40:32   with the rubber buttons [TS]

00:40:33   yeah the pro ones are are are not cheap [TS]

00:40:35   and I had come to college with my own [TS]

00:40:38   selection of rugby shirts because it was [TS]

00:40:41   the eighties and rugby shirts were what [TS]

00:40:43   guys like me war and I Gonzaga scullers [TS]

00:40:48   were navy blue and white and i have high [TS]

00:40:52   had a I had a sky blue and pale yellow [TS]

00:40:57   rugby shirt [TS]

00:40:58   Oh John and I thought that's like being [TS]

00:41:01   off a quarter town [TS]

00:41:02   exactly just that that's like you're you [TS]

00:41:04   know it is thats ug g g string being [TS]

00:41:07   just a little bit flat that's what [TS]

00:41:09   that's exactly what it was and I showed [TS]

00:41:10   up I was wearing this thing up and you [TS]

00:41:14   know the older guys I was a freshman of [TS]

00:41:16   course the only guys did not approve but [TS]

00:41:19   I you know I was a big kid or whatever [TS]

00:41:22   and everybody just kinda looked askance [TS]

00:41:24   at it but but to my eternal shame i [TS]

00:41:27   showed up for our our group picture [TS]

00:41:31   wearing on this shirt and so here's this [TS]

00:41:35   that there's a picture still hanging in [TS]

00:41:37   the hallway of the main the main [TS]

00:41:41   building at Gonzaga University the best [TS]

00:41:43   the hall of fame or whatever there's a [TS]

00:41:45   picture of that 1987 Gonzaga rugby squad [TS]

00:41:49   and me in a in an off-color like light [TS]

00:41:54   yellow of all look of all the things if [TS]

00:41:59   that have been yearbook day and each of [TS]

00:42:01   you had had a separate photo in uniform [TS]

00:42:03   that would be merely horribly [TS]

00:42:04   embarrassing but you know he did you [TS]

00:42:05   fucked it up a for the rest of the team [TS]

00:42:08   and be for posterity now an old guy who [TS]

00:42:11   gave a gave a few thousand dollars in [TS]

00:42:12   school he walked down that hall and he [TS]

00:42:14   goes who the fuck was this guy in 1986 [TS]

00:42:23   University looking at the dusty [TS]

00:42:24   photographs and I'll go look at this [TS]

00:42:26   jackass [TS]

00:42:28   to fix that with all due respect to you [TS]

00:42:30   you know what it's a it is it is an [TS]

00:42:32   accurate record of the moment it is an [TS]

00:42:34   accurate record of the time I was a [TS]

00:42:35   jackass and I just yeah and Trotsky was [TS]

00:42:37   never in any photos [TS]

00:42:39   I think a big part of super train should [TS]

00:42:42   be making things right I'm gonna [TS]

00:42:44   experience your triangle actively well [TS]

00:42:46   I'm just saying what retro actively this [TS]

00:42:48   is the beauty part i mean you know or [TS]

00:42:50   what was not riding in a vacuum the [TS]

00:42:51   beauty part about Stalin is that is that [TS]

00:42:54   he was so so able capable and willing to [TS]

00:42:57   change things over and over and over we [TS]

00:42:59   look need look no further than our [TS]

00:43:00   friend mouth he was always changing his [TS]

00:43:01   mind and then he changes mind everybody [TS]

00:43:03   changes their mind is like the captain [TS]

00:43:05   Wally when we accept late makes it [TS]

00:43:06   become breakfast time again same deal [TS]

00:43:08   while solid wood paint a guy out of the [TS]

00:43:10   picture and then three years later he'd [TS]

00:43:12   paint another guy on the picture and [TS]

00:43:14   pretty soon he painted all the guys out [TS]

00:43:15   of the picture and somebody had to draw [TS]

00:43:16   like a right like a horizon line and he [TS]

00:43:18   puts in like totoro or goofy or whoever [TS]

00:43:21   this is my tattoos happy little trees [TS]

00:43:24   isn't the problem [TS]

00:43:25   tattoos you know you got you got to live [TS]

00:43:30   gonna be sitting on Leon like for the [TS]

00:43:31   rescue you know I'm saying I feel like [TS]

00:43:33   when we start talking about tattoos you [TS]

00:43:35   and I yeah you're alienating a great [TS]

00:43:37   number of our listeners who are right [TS]

00:43:39   now looking at their tattoos and feeling [TS]

00:43:41   very proud about the choices that they [TS]

00:43:42   make good for them [TS]

00:43:44   yeah and then I don't want to make the [TS]

00:43:45   particularly if they've got like my [TS]

00:43:49   tattoo of themselves dressed as a civil [TS]

00:43:52   war reenactor you know what else we're [TS]

00:43:53   doing but somebody who is about two days [TS]

00:43:56   away from getting a tattoo is gonna [TS]

00:43:58   think twice about it and that's what [TS]

00:48:51   one thing i like that in military school [TS]

00:48:52   I didn't like it at the time but I'm [TS]

00:48:54   starting to understand the appeal if you [TS]

00:48:56   are in that official a kind of an [TS]

00:48:58   official formation if something happens [TS]

00:48:59   with showers [TS]

00:49:00   mmm nu nu oh gosh no oh boy group [TS]

00:49:05   showers it isn't having learned enough [TS]

00:49:07   from history John the charts don't go in [TS]

00:49:09   a room where they say everybody takes a [TS]

00:49:11   shower [TS]

00:49:11   can we just all agree that's a bad idea [TS]

00:49:12   you know and they're in mind in my [TS]

00:49:14   junior high my junior hide the coach [TS]

00:49:17   stood at the door where the shower [TS]

00:53:01   shower down [TS]

00:53:02   right now there's there's literally in [TS]

00:53:04   the entire United States in our history [TS]

00:53:06   there's literally only one thing worse [TS]

00:53:07   than junior high and that's middle [TS]

00:53:08   school junior high is disgusting because [TS]

00:53:11   it's got got this problem on one level [TS]

00:53:13   of like a lucky say like some of the [TS]

00:53:16   people you know look like the retirees [TS]

00:53:18   and others look like toddlers [TS]

00:53:20   yeah but 6 7th and 8th grade I think [TS]

00:53:22   it's even worse because you got six [TS]

00:53:24   graders long in elementary school [TS]

00:53:27   nope i was i didn't have middle school I [TS]

00:53:29   had junior high but middle so I've heard [TS]

00:53:31   people when I learned about middle [TS]

00:53:32   school it gave me it gave me the shakes [TS]

00:53:34   so some of the girls in sixth grade look [TS]

00:53:36   like supermodels [TS]

00:53:37   yeah other ones look like they probably [TS]

00:53:39   needed to change their nappy right and [TS]

00:53:42   then but then you've got guys even in [TS]

00:53:44   seventh grade and these the really [TS]

00:53:46   stinky guys with with the weird [TS]

00:53:48   mustaches it didn't know how awkward [TS]

00:53:50   they were those poor bastards [TS]

00:53:52   I mean you get those guys and and you [TS]

00:53:55   grow really fast and you can done [TS]

00:53:56   coordinated year you know I don't you [TS]

00:53:58   want to have told you my plan now what's [TS]

00:54:00   your plan my plan is that the no one [TS]

00:54:03   learns anything in junior high [TS]

00:54:05   there is no they're not a single bit of [TS]

00:54:07   useful information is communicated or [TS]

00:54:09   retained 20-point information not [TS]

00:54:11   nothing nothing will be taught or or by [TS]

00:54:13   design nothing will be permitted to be [TS]

00:54:15   learned nothing enough it is impossible [TS]

00:54:17   to learn it is it is an unlearning [TS]

00:54:19   belittle unlearning in the bowl [TS]

00:54:22   environment [TS]

00:54:23   ok super super train junior high you [TS]

00:54:25   come in as an empty vessel and leave [TS]

00:54:26   potentially even more empty then you [TS]

00:54:28   came in so here's what happens here's [TS]

00:54:30   here's my plan for junior i'm sure i've [TS]

00:54:32   told you this at all from 7th 8th grade [TS]

00:54:35   all those kids are building trail in [TS]

00:54:38   national parks [TS]

00:54:39   [Music] [TS]

00:54:41   and this is a national program to get [TS]

00:54:44   sunscreen [TS]

00:54:45   well your betrayal so the have to get [TS]

00:54:49   fucking you get you get a hatter you're [TS]

00:54:51   under cover of trees I mean it's a bad [TS]

00:54:52   guess if you're building traveling [TS]

00:54:53   Arizona you do need sunscreen little [TS]

00:54:55   trip but uh but so we have a lot of [TS]

00:54:57   national parks a lot of those trails [TS]

00:54:58   need need a tremendous amount of upkeep [TS]

00:55:01   some of them were in treacherous [TS]

00:55:02   locations for older people to go up [TS]

00:55:05   there and haul logs and and fix that [TS]

00:55:08   trail that's a lot of that's a lot of [TS]

00:55:09   work for people young people [TS]

00:55:11   particularly seventh graders who are [TS]

00:55:14   incapable of learning anything and are [TS]

00:55:16   useful to society in every way except [TS]

00:55:19   except and folders there they're just [TS]

00:55:23   old enough that they could drag logs and [TS]

00:55:26   they can there that they should be [TS]

00:55:28   employed as donkeys that thread [TS]

00:55:31   throughout our national park system and [TS]

00:55:33   if if we used case this way so six [TS]

00:55:37   frayed you're learning stuff you're [TS]

00:55:39   still you're like engage your learning [TS]

00:55:40   about art and music you learn all the [TS]

00:55:43   bones in the body and how they connect [TS]

00:55:45   to one another and then you graduate [TS]

00:55:46   from sixth grade and you are immediately [TS]

00:55:49   sent to a Works Progress Administration [TS]

00:55:52   style camp on the side of Mount Rainier [TS]

00:55:55   or perhaps out in Death Valley [TS]

00:55:57   California wherever it is that travel [TS]

00:55:59   needs to be built that you are employed [TS]

00:56:02   in this capacity for two straight years [TS]

00:56:03   you come out the other side and here you [TS]

00:56:06   have clear skin you have a clear sense [TS]

00:56:09   of purpose your body is strong your your [TS]

00:56:13   youth has been employed in the service [TS]

00:56:14   of your great country and then you enter [TS]

00:56:17   ninth grade and again begin to learn [TS]

00:56:20   things from books at night at night [TS]

00:56:24   these kids will all sleep in these the [TS]

00:56:26   these depression-era bunk houses like [TS]

00:56:30   babies they'll sleep and they would they [TS]

00:56:32   will sleep like babies there will be [TS]

00:56:33   well they will read the read for a half [TS]

00:56:35   an hour by lantern light someone will [TS]

00:56:37   tell them a ghost story perhaps on [TS]

00:56:40   weekends and it will be contributing to [TS]

00:56:42   America in a way that that that there's [TS]

00:56:47   no substitute and they will be not not [TS]

00:56:48   contributing because that's part of the [TS]

00:56:50   problem i think that you're dressing [TS]

00:56:51   with this is [TS]

00:56:52   the utter lack of contribution the the [TS]

00:56:54   vacuum of contribution that we get from [TS]

00:56:56   these these fucking pubescent leeches [TS]

00:56:59   yeah these are terrible people that [TS]

00:57:00   people 7th 8th graders are terrible [TS]

00:57:02   people there they're the worst that [TS]

00:57:05   humanity has to offer and right now [TS]

00:57:06   we're plating them with like a so that [TS]

00:57:10   their dressing like those Bratz dolls [TS]

00:57:12   and they're listening to hip-hop music [TS]

00:57:14   and they are joining gangs or whatever [TS]

00:57:16   it is that young people do these days [TS]

00:57:17   after wearing white bar names they are [TS]

00:57:22   they are being lolitas for their [TS]

00:57:24   next-door neighbor's whatever Dylan key [TS]

00:57:26   Tars they are causing problems they're [TS]

00:57:29   causing problems for their families [TS]

00:57:32   they have they have terrible skin John [TS]

00:57:34   this is a comprehensive fuckin solution [TS]

00:57:36   because here's the other thing I'm sure [TS]

00:57:38   this is something you've already covered [TS]

00:57:39   in in in any of your plans for this but [TS]

00:57:42   but but what is the what is the primary [TS]

00:57:43   problem identifying hear about middle [TS]

01:05:33   the end of the day where he could write [TS]

01:05:34   in his on his yellow legal pad that are [TS]

01:06:17   problems in addition all these other [TS]

01:06:18   problems but with these young people and [TS]

01:06:20   that is that they get too much stuff to [TS]

01:06:22   themselves and they got too many things [TS]

01:06:25   that can rely on other people to do if i [TS]

01:06:27   may say John and this is not going to [TS]

01:06:29   give you a note on this but I think [TS]

01:06:30   you're WPA project it should have [TS]

01:06:32   require a lot of awkward share [TS]

01:06:35   ring and constant uncertainty right so [TS]

01:06:38   first of all yes there is some baby [TS]

01:06:39   powder in there at first some days there [TS]

01:06:41   might be a tablespoon full and there [TS]

01:06:43   might not be any firm on floor no wait a [TS]

01:06:45   minute you're getting very psychological [TS]

01:06:47   about the mi papá shearing and [TS]

01:06:51   uncertainty so here's the thing you come [TS]

01:06:52   back and you want to get your head now [TS]

01:08:38   saying this is prison but how are you [TS]

01:08:39   guys able to break out prison they bring [TS]

01:08:41   a present there for so long that they [TS]

01:08:43   learn all of the patterns they learn [TS]

01:08:46   which guards [TS]

01:08:48   deuce are certain ways they learn when [TS]

01:08:50   people walk by they learn when the [TS]

01:08:52   towels get delivered [TS]

01:08:53   they learn like when the new ships are [TS]

01:08:54   handed out they learn enough about these [TS]

01:08:56   patterns that they can they can know it [TS]

01:08:59   inside and out right the pattern never [TS]

01:09:00   changes and that's when they're able to [TS]

01:09:02   capitalize on it that's when that's when [TS]

01:09:04   you're able to to to to you know to what [TS]

01:09:07   it called ganking right youyou stabby [TS]

01:09:22   you're giving these young people too [TS]

01:09:24   much credit because mi well in the sense [TS]

01:09:26   that in sixth grade I believe that most [TS]

01:09:29   minds most young people's minds are so [TS]

01:09:31   malleable enough that you can create an [TS]

01:09:34   entire reality all the more reason to [TS]

01:09:36   maleate it well but they but you create [TS]

01:09:38   this reality in which the idea of escape [TS]

01:09:41   is not it does not even occur to them [TS]

01:09:43   because it is their new this is their [TS]

01:09:44   new life [TS]

01:09:45   there's no I mean for that first month [TS]

01:10:11   these kids are weasels they're like [TS]

01:10:12   little lawyers and they will pick up on [TS]

01:10:14   any part of the pattern and you know [TS]

01:10:15   what they want for your week the reason [TS]

01:10:17   that the reason they act that way then [TS]

01:10:19   no one has worn out basically put that [TS]

01:10:22   into a yoke and call and and and [TS]

01:10:24   encourage them to pull a 500 power log [TS]
