0:06:45to hear the chatter and laughter you
0:06:47everything makes me tired sleeping makes
0:06:50me tired i know a single thing that even
0:06:52the things that you love the most
0:06:54do they not oh my god the worst I you
0:06:56know the thing is a kid as you know I'm
0:06:57a bad parent and I my daughter I are
0:07:00really super into Star Wars i swear i
0:07:03got like she's she's into it too I swear
0:07:05to god I'm sure I will you know what I'm
0:07:06not being that guy yeah my dad is an old
0:07:08fan shutter a lot of dads out there who
0:07:11are doing some questionable things but
0:07:12and justifying but by saying she's into
0:07:15a2 yeah yeah it's not football
0:07:17this is angela Skywalker totally
0:07:18different help the Anakin Skywalker so
0:07:23one of the things I'm doing I don't
0:07:25don't tell her I said this but on
0:07:27there's really only kind of two things
0:07:29in life that I really if I had my
0:07:32druthers that that she would like you
0:07:35know students i wish you know one of
0:07:37them is not start worse it's really I i
0:07:40really hope that she likes to unite
0:07:41again let me just stipulate this is not
0:07:43me saying I hope she's like me in two
0:07:45ways because I hope she likes to read
0:07:47and I hope she likes music and she's
0:07:50kind of into reading and she's kind of
0:07:51into music and you know me like I don't
0:07:53push her into anything but really she's
0:07:55still a zygote you can't tell what she's
0:07:57got a very of all of my many many
0:07:59problems in life I was a very early
0:08:01reader so I mean it is ok but you were
0:08:03very early reader but there was a there
0:08:04was a there was a decided minimum of
0:08:08other things to distract you right i was
0:08:09also there is very very lonely John so
0:08:12maybe she's got she's got a million
0:08:13things besides reading that she can a
0:08:16million ways she can input information
0:08:18and I think this is this is going to be
0:08:20the fifth card I don't return to this
0:08:21but really I think literacy as a concept
0:08:23is changing i loath to admit that but I
0:08:25really think it's true we should come
0:08:27after that so here's the thing i bought
0:08:29a bunch of star wars books some of them
0:08:31are awesome like visual encyclopedia you
0:08:33know the school DK books they've got
0:08:34about all different things I don't do
0:08:36not know anything about the car wars
0:08:38books
0:08:39John just just just really i don't know
0:08:42a thing about the trying to try and see
0:08:43past your numerous counteracts and just
0:08:46stay with me
0:08:47Nancy Drew Hardy Boys means you really

0:11:35that's like saying I just hope I just
0:11:36hope i get her away from mumps and
0:11:38rubella like you proactively get in
0:11:41front I I understand the theory and you
0:11:43know and i have i've spoken to many of
0:11:45my my wired friends not friends who work

0:11:49friends for cyber friends let's say
0:11:51cyber friends and you know there are
0:11:53there a lot of there are a lot of
0:11:55opinions but they seem to break into two
0:11:57camps one of the camps is I as the
0:12:00father i'm going to curate her digital
0:12:02life so that she gets only the best Star
0:12:06Wars crap and the other fathers are like
0:12:09that uh ten years from now they're only
0:12:11gonna be books so just give him the
0:12:14given the gadgets and let them figure my
0:12:17friends am i think half are
0:12:18ideologically reductive and i think the
0:12:21other half are reductively illogical
0:12:23that is a false dilemma you wanted to
0:12:25know your college you didn't graduate
0:12:26from that's a nice mm i do both I way
0:12:29I'm helping I'm helping I don't want to
0:12:31watch dora the explorer i'm in the third
0:12:33school which is that that until she's 16
0:12:36or her afternoons are going to be sent
0:12:39been chopping firewood cutting trail we
0:12:41got a lot of trails around here that
0:12:43need improvement to read the Bible I
0:12:45mean like we got it you got to get out
0:12:46there in the woods you got to cut some
0:12:48trail you gotta concentrate i like that
0:12:50term you know I mean you play that up
0:12:52just make that up no customer that's so
0:12:55that's an old that's a whole day old
0:12:57trapper miner 49er have no idea what it
0:12:59means but I can't think of a possible
0:13:01place that wouldn't apply exactly
0:13:03exactly your lines right one right now
0:13:06no you're in line mcdonalds taking
0:13:07telling you come on asshole cut some
0:13:09trail right here with your lady as you
0:13:11do and you say you know what let's let's
0:13:14let's put this one away and cut some
0:13:15trail
0:13:15let's cut the aid baby let's cut some
0:13:17trail like it exactly you want to cut
0:13:18some trail so anyway that's my mind was
0:13:21my philosophy is the only the only video
0:13:23screens that she's gonna see in her life
0:13:25are going to be when she's over at her
0:13:27friends houses where her parents don't
0:13:29understand how life works absolutely or
0:13:31when she's after you've been like
0:13:32indicted or something in that solution
0:13:33the judge is on the other monitor or
0:13:35something like that yeah
0:13:36or when she's trying to get my attention
0:13:37and I'm looking at my phone why they
0:13:39call it social only those things that
0:13:41you don't think she's going to see a
0:13:43screenshot screen time
0:13:45so anyway sorry star wars books that's
0:13:47all the screen time things complicated
0:13:48it really is and you know it's funny
0:13:50though because I sometimes get these
0:13:52cautionary tales I try so hard to not
0:13:54like sometimes in the morning I like
0:13:56look at my computer something i'm tired
0:13:58of waking up even with my coffee which
0:14:00yeah what's the best part of waking up
0:14:02your computer in the morning we got come
0:14:05back to this right now on your card

0:14:26boundaries within some boundaries within
0:14:28within a few boundaries boundaries are

0:14:32but if i may say you cut a lot of trail
0:14:34with your boundaries you that's just
0:14:36part of a much larger thing that I've

0:17:13wisdom helping people but you have a way
0:17:15of really reframing things for people

0:17:18especially if they can't leave well this
0:17:21is the thing with their second try to
0:17:22run in heels like that that I calculus

0:18:43don't want to get the whole internet
0:18:45zombie thing but I'm just saying once
0:18:46you think even just kind of a little bit
0:18:49about what you would do if you were
0:18:50suddenly surrounded by zombies
0:18:52I think suddenly you're getting a lot of
0:18:53your piercings you know I think you're
0:18:55doing a lot less like harajuku cosplay
0:18:58like with funny shoes and complicated
0:19:01hair that that's not going to stand up
0:19:03well you're gonna be in situations where
0:19:05you
0:19:05you have to make a lot of instantaneous
0:19:07decisions where you you see down this
0:19:10tunnel of the future all the options
0:19:11that you all the branches you might have
0:19:13to deal with and if you're sitting there
0:19:14thinking about a lot about a piercing
0:19:18John M piercings
0:19:20well and that that's why I walk around
0:19:22with that look on my face that I have on
0:19:23my face
0:19:24most of the time which is which is a
0:19:27look that's been carefully crafted to
0:19:29suggest that if the shit goes down
0:19:31suddenly and I'm in an airport for
0:19:35instance and everyone in the room goes
0:19:38from being there like I'm a civilized
0:19:40person in an airport person to being
0:19:43there
0:19:44yeah person as as they transform I want
0:19:50them as they're scanning the room for
0:19:52the person to that for the person
0:19:54closest to them but they're going to
0:19:55either glom onto right or try and
0:19:58cannibalize I want them to look at me
0:20:01and then choose the next person you're
0:20:03not planning your not panicking and if
0:20:05you are the first of all like the city
0:20:07they're scanning their suddenly scanning
0:20:09their everybody scaring everybody phones
0:20:11about to run out
0:20:12they've been writing on facebook there's
0:20:13nothing left that sandwich that they
0:20:15bought in like a triangle applying the
0:20:17triangle I hate the plastic triangle
0:20:19isn't so much a question triangle that's
0:20:21living and and the thing is that's gone
0:20:23now
0:20:24right on the front you're in a room with
0:20:251600 people answering the MV and the the
0:20:29facade is suddenly gone

0:21:25how to start a sharper image can be
0:21:26someone somewhere in America somebody

0:21:34and when alert alert alert right
0:21:37whatever weapons airport terminal what
0:21:39happens every single time I'm in line at

0:21:49bucket through a separate lane for the
0:21:51airport employees right and this guy he

0:22:12through with a 50 gallon bucket full of
0:22:13maybe lard maybe c4 explosive well in
0:22:17like it's just full of garbage like
0:22:18they're going to go through and inspect
0:22:19every piece of garbage going in and out
0:22:21I'm just saying like you know the thing
0:22:22is it's like the right with the
0:22:23spiderwebs catching the wasps buzzing
0:22:25wasps rai got nothing
0:22:27um not another weapons in the airport
0:22:29for example and I blame you for this i
0:22:31found myself and then that is such an
0:22:34important phrase in my life that so
0:22:35often I find myself doing you do find
0:22:37yourself it's it's a passive
0:22:38construction but at the same time that
0:22:41is what happens I want to understand
0:22:42your influence I for some reason i think
0:22:45i took my a.d.d medicine too late
0:22:47I wasn't sleeping well and I woke up is
0:22:49about four and it's an awful period
0:22:50between like oh I really need to go back
0:22:52to sleep which would be a 2 a.m. where i
0:22:54might as well get out which is a 5am no
0:22:57problem for me i can write it with you
0:22:58between those two places it's a weird
0:23:00time and and you know it's like oh do
0:23:03this so I did this thing I almost never
0:23:05do i picked up the ipad and i started
0:23:08reading about trying for the world haha
0:23:10okay and let our clock in the morning we
0:23:13may need to have an offshoot sort of
0:23:15Laverne and Shirley to our happy days
0:23:16but we just talked about Nazis because I
0:23:19gotta tell ya I think there's just so
0:23:21much a world war two in general
0:23:22obviously the Nazi specifically don't
0:23:24even know what angle you begin with is
0:23:26so fascinating the angle i chose this
0:23:27night was to learn more about the major
0:23:30figures right okay you know i'm a nerd
0:23:32very interesting instrument very
0:23:33interested in the essay in general but
0:23:35ice finally sat down and read the entire
0:23:37wikipedia entry for Goering Goebbels and
0:23:40Hitler oh my god and I learned one night
0:23:42only on doing sighs and in again it's
0:23:45like watching The Wizard of Oz it's like
0:23:47I know how this goes but it's so
0:23:49interesting to see it again now that I'm
0:23:50older
0:23:51yeah now now here's why do I mention
0:23:52this because I'm really sorry that I
0:23:55ever met you but also one of them i
0:23:58think i want to say who's a snappy
0:24:01dresser that was gearing during yeah you
0:24:03want me to snappy dresser for a
0:24:04400-pound he's very very happy man have

0:24:30preschool in it it was very very large
0:24:32and it it had that you know that fact
0:24:34that fact think it's not simply a long
0:24:36drapey jacket but it has it actually has
0:24:39the shape of a very very large man
0:24:41because I becomes it becomes like a like
0:24:44a tent that might be used in the desert
0:24:46but I like a baseball glove right like
0:24:48if you wear a glove long enough it looks
0:24:50a little bit like your hand and this
0:24:52looks a lot like caring
0:24:53um anyway I think I want to say Hitler
0:24:56who seems like maybe the most troubling
0:24:58of those characters he caused a lot of
0:25:00trouble I don't have you know that my
0:25:01yeah oh yes I mean girls you know these
0:25:03guys are famous right and who was the
0:25:05one that had the cyanide embedded in his

0:26:38our cannot arcane was a cult
0:26:40he's very into the occult yeah and
0:26:41pseudoscience John you get a lot of
0:26:43dental work done you've had a lot of
0:26:45dental issues in the past i believe as
0:26:46we speak you have some orthodonture I
0:26:48don't want to my entire life my entire
0:26:50life is like the working script of
0:26:52marathon man that's rough i actually had
0:26:55an orthodontic appointment today and I
0:26:56cancelled it at the last minute and lied
0:26:58to them and told them that I was still
0:27:00in Los Angeles you you finally got into
0:27:02their good books and you fuck that up
0:27:04well because because I just a I'm so
0:27:07exhausted i've had i've had braces for i
0:27:10think a lot longer than I need to have
0:27:12the only reason that I that I've had
0:27:15them for so long as that I keep not
0:27:16following through on all the
0:27:18appointments because it got do
0:27:19adjustments and that's just you just
0:27:21pushing out the project right it's that
0:27:23you've got to have that adjustment for
0:27:24so long before the next adjustment right
0:27:26and i just keep skipping appointments
0:27:28and they're like well we gotta do we
0:27:30have to do it we gotta wait another nine
0:27:32months or something haha
0:27:34have you ever have you ever priced out
0:27:35if you can say and if you can't just cut
0:27:37this out like something like this old
0:27:39however price to having all my
0:27:41stepfather who as it happens with jelly
0:27:43bellies
0:27:45we think about that and I want to read
0:27:47by Himmler my stepfather who by the way
0:27:50was an execrable Serb is a general
0:27:52surgeon my stepfather's a Serb I didn't
0:27:55realize that yeah there's a certain he
0:27:56had to get all he had all his teeth
0:27:57pulled and false teeth big big false
0:27:59teeth like tony robbins a lot of people
0:28:01in the old days had all their teeth pole
0:28:03it just made sense
0:28:04well my mom describes it as like before
0:28:08there was before those dental hygiene or
0:28:10before there was a full understanding of
0:28:12how infection works that the your teeth
0:28:16were the source of all these mysterious
0:28:18infections and people would people would
0:28:20routinely die or have chronic pain
0:28:22because of what was going on in the
0:28:24roots of their teeth and so so dentists
0:28:26and doctors would routinely recommended
0:28:28that you have all your teeth polls in
0:28:31order to like as a health restorative it
0:28:35sounds medieval but actually the place
0:28:37where I the dentist who was nice enough
0:28:39but I eventually couldn't stand going
0:28:41there anymore
0:28:41his mother who is his dental hygienist
0:28:43constantly gave me this article every
0:28:45time I went in about how if you didn't
0:28:47flossing your teeth clean enough to get
0:28:48a heart attack and apparently this is
0:28:50science now is that is that there's
0:28:52something there's something I know it's
0:28:53plaque or whatever but there actually is
0:28:55turns out there's actually some
0:28:56connection between what you're
0:28:58describing here it's not just the dark
0:29:00of your stuff to the question to you is
0:29:02again like so many things i say we will
0:29:04cut this out if it's problematic
0:29:06have you ever gotten I've ever got an
0:29:09estimate on what it would cost to have
0:29:11cyanide or something similar embedded in
0:29:13a tooth from okay it's okay don't say
0:29:15you know what don't say no well here's
0:29:17the thing i have never ever felt
0:29:20suicidal and in the hospital reason all
0:29:24the more reason to have it there it's
0:29:26like Nietzsche says right but my feeling
0:29:28is my feeling is in those moments fight
0:29:31the guards you know what I mean fighting
0:29:34the guards to death like don't sit in
0:29:36your prison cell and take your take your
0:29:38stuff so you're saying that's a pussy
0:29:39way out it's totally pussy when they
0:29:41come for you on that day and they lead
0:29:43you down a peg or karate in a tooth with
0:29:46a small very very thing right
0:29:48happy little wire that you suddenly sick
0:29:50people out of your be to get a point at
0:29:52that danger
0:29:54I mean even in a situation like that
0:29:56where there is no way that that that fat
0:29:58old lady
0:29:59mass Hermann Goering is going to be able
0:30:00to fight these young American guards in
0:30:03this prison castle he should at least
0:30:05give the old college try and you know
0:30:08and then throw himself off a balcony or
0:30:11something but like students cyanide come
0:30:13on and work that's that's the pussiest
0:30:16way this is just like General Grievous
0:30:18in Star Wars who's his are used to be a
0:30:21more organic and asthma mostly a robot
0:30:24with two opposable thumbs on each hand
0:30:25and the dislocated shoulder second fight
0:30:28with four lightsabers
0:30:29but the point is it's a lot like the
0:30:30Nazis because he's a coward ultimately
0:30:32the colored are you telling me that
0:30:33somewhere inside of that General
0:30:35Grievous thing there is some kind of
0:30:37living organism that's the theory that
0:30:41is actually i was reading on wikipedia
0:30:43that he's apparently secretly
0:30:45embarrassed that he's part like mostly
0:30:47cyborg George Lucas expects us to
0:30:50believe that that CGI creation has the
0:30:52heart of a human being
0:30:54got that cough to you Reza know because
0:30:56i never have watched those movies i've
0:30:57only seen them when i'm sitting on an
0:30:59airplane and I look over and some poor
0:31:01kid his dad has put it on a ipad who to
0:31:04try and keep him quiet and I look and I
0:31:06see what is that stupid thing that's the
0:31:08dumbest looking thing I ever saw
0:31:09fascinating coffee now let's to do with
0:31:12Star Wars event then Harrison Ford in
0:31:15American Graffiti did you stop the
0:31:20coffee all at once to taper I'm getting
0:31:23it all at once i could see you being man
0:31:24who pulls your own teeth and you just
0:31:26stopped buying coffee it's not even in
0:31:27the house or did you keep it in the
0:31:28house and have a tempting just to make
0:31:30you stronger
0:31:30no experience the house i have coffee
0:31:32all over the place and I'd like that
0:31:33around just so strong
0:31:35well that's what you have to build that
0:31:36strength you can't you didn't just trip
0:31:38into it
0:31:39this is part of this is all part of part
0:31:41of the larger practice when I quit
0:31:42smoking when I could drinking like with
0:31:45all those things you gotta quit them
0:31:46cold turkey and then sit there with the
0:31:49perspiration dripping down your forehead
0:31:50and really be in the middle of your
0:31:53suffering you have to own your suffering
0:31:55because that is how you feel like
0:31:57exactly what I hold the thing had over
0:32:00you now you have to get to you have to
0:32:03explore every little last corner of the
0:32:06of the power that that whatever that was
0:32:09of the power that had over you
0:32:11to understand what you're quitting you
0:32:14know a lot of people are like oh I quit
0:32:15this or that but I took a bunch of
0:32:17medication during the turn to come down
0:32:20period or whatever it's like no no the
0:32:22comedown period is the soul of quitting
0:32:25something you gotta be in it and and
0:32:29feel like all the nerve endings fraying
0:32:32and feel the headache feel the you know
0:32:35feel the craving and-and-and by like
0:32:39suffering through that then you know
0:32:42what the limits of craving archives
0:32:43craving has limits
0:32:45there's no there's no I mean unless you
0:32:47are a san diego mom in which case there
0:32:50are no limits your cravings but I don't
0:32:52know that reference with you if you're a
0:32:56southern california power-walking mom
0:32:58ha ha yr sea ice is out there power
0:33:00walking around an outfit eyes catalogs
0:33:03and stuff yeah just power walking down
0:33:05to the to the boutique and getting a
0:33:07getting a mani-pedi whatever you're
0:33:09craving is bottom was clearly that's how
0:33:12something that Southern California
0:33:14states and business but realize is my
0:33:16tradition i will not discuss Buddhism on
0:33:18here but you're describing something
0:33:19somewhat similar to that I will also say
0:33:21I'm really fucking glad I never had to
0:33:23guard you at Nuremberg
0:33:24you seem like you'd be a real handful
0:33:26well because the first thing you do is
0:33:28through the whole trial you trying to
0:33:29get inside your guards minds
0:33:31that's right so that they were so they
0:33:34get a little bit of the stockholm
0:33:35syndrome in Reverse where they're
0:33:38guarding you but then they start to feel
0:33:39like I mean I obviously i think the
0:33:41Nazis were deplorable but if I were I'm
0:33:45not so you'd like the stormtroopers in
0:33:47Star Wars i think i think they're
0:33:48they're not always a good shot and
0:33:50they're not that bright
0:33:51a lot of them and I think they're easily
0:33:52swayed by the dark side or in your case
0:33:54bye-bye really just the force in general
0:33:56you have I think you might have the
0:33:57force more than you're willing to admit
0:34:00well I don't talk about the force that's
0:34:02a good idea
0:34:03that's not a good idea but aren't clear
0:34:06on the stormtroopers clones isn't that
0:34:08the whole theory
0:34:09spoiler alert yes that I just learned
0:34:11this recently myself when i made the
0:34:12excursion into those movies as
0:34:14fascinated to learn that I learned about
0:34:15order 66 which is just really is i still
0:34:18have a lot of questions i'm logged in
0:34:19the first end up in the first three
0:34:20movies by which I mean the second three
0:34:23movies or I don't know how to talk about
0:34:24it
0:34:25talk about coffee the original movies
0:34:27there was no mention of that being
0:34:28clones
0:34:29isn't that where am i right isn't that
0:34:31sort of revisionism or or what was the
0:34:34clone talk in the books before the
0:34:35movies you want to bring up religion
0:34:39we're talking about Star Wars gonna
0:34:40bring up religion yes i do be careful
0:34:43buddy you got that you got you got three
0:34:46sources that is dangerously close to
0:34:48electric outlet right now my phone to
0:34:50threaten me with you talking about
0:34:51religion but you know what you could
0:34:54turn that right around and ruin the rest
0:34:55of my afternoon i'm very aware of that
0:34:57you're absolutely right and but you know
0:35:02what this interesting talking about
0:35:03stars and other places no but the truth
0:35:04is he had an idea in mind fairly early
0:35:06on but for example the the secret of
0:35:09star wars that we never mentioned
0:35:10because you never know who might not
0:35:12know the best sticker star wars that
0:35:14idea did not even appear anywhere until
0:35:17nineteen seventy-eight so during a
0:35:20product or after the movie still
0:35:22oh yes they were still just still
0:35:23writing one of the awful scripts for you
0:35:27know
0:35:27yes b-but i just i just read in the
0:35:29newspaper yesterday that the guy that
0:35:31did all the paintings that that
0:35:33established all the look of Star Wars
0:35:35just done with Macquarie alpha probably
0:35:38had arguably the person with the single
0:35:41largest influence on y star wars was
0:35:44cool and look the way it did
0:35:46huge is to keep calm and Starkiller i
0:35:49was going to look Skywalker's name i
0:35:51just mentioned another show we should
0:35:52move on and so you just stop the coffee
0:35:53that didn't get like a little
0:35:54ridiculously when I've done that before
0:35:57I get totally wang headache
0:35:59oh it's the worst you're not just
0:36:01waiting headache but you're psychotic I
0:36:03get psychotic you feel your uh your
0:36:07capillaries right throughout your body
0:36:09you can feel you the one time I had
0:36:11acupuncture I was lying on my
0:36:15acupuncture bed in this room that
0:36:17smelled like lavender and put it like
0:36:20weird
0:36:21bing-bong jazz plan and i'm going to
0:36:25have cucumber water close cucumber water
0:36:28and I had everything I had the whole
0:36:29thing and and and she's but my
0:36:33acupuncture is putting the needles in me
0:36:35and I'm sitting there kind of thinking
0:36:36like
0:36:37this is this is baloney and then all of
0:36:41a sudden I feel you know those diagrams
0:36:43that used to see an old encyclopedias
0:36:45where shows you your circulatory system
0:36:48like the visible mankind Invisible Man
0:36:49stuff for you were all of a sudden you
0:36:51just see the outline of the human body
0:36:54as as as like described by the
0:36:58circulatory system and the nerves
0:37:00mhm also I could feel that it wasn't
0:37:03abstract it was not abstract I could
0:37:05feel it it was it became the primary
0:37:09feeling i had so i would I no longer
0:37:11felt like the weight of my body or
0:37:14whatever I just felt my skin and my
0:37:16circulatory system i could feel every
0:37:18inch of it and i SAT there for a minute
0:37:21or two and I went wow that's a fantastic
0:37:23sensation
0:37:25I'm III don't know what to make of it
0:37:27and I'm i can mold it over and then she
0:37:30starts taking the needles out and I said
0:37:33what are you doing what were you
0:37:35why are we stopping and she said it's
0:37:37been an hour at that must have freaked
0:37:42you out
0:37:43I said what what it's been it's been
0:37:46three minutes and she said it has been a
0:37:48nap
0:37:49it's been an hour and 10 minutes
0:37:50actually we went over and I was like oh
0:37:53ok i don't know what that is
0:37:56I don't know what I don't know I don't
0:37:57it didn't actually help with my neck
0:38:00pain that I've that there's the reason I
0:38:02came here like I walked out with just as
0:38:04much neck pain as i had when i walked in
0:38:06so maybe you who maybe put that 15
0:38:10needle in like just a micrometer to the
0:38:13side and you connected with my time
0:38:15traveler muscle or whatever but that was
0:38:19amazing and I talked to the streets the
0:38:22streets of vern I think this is a great
0:38:25thing but kind of like taking MDMA it's
0:38:30not a thing that i know there's not a
0:38:32thing that is predictable reliable
0:38:33enough for me to go back do this all the
0:38:35time because I you know you just like
0:38:38you sent me
0:38:38you just sent me through space would you
0:38:40try it again oh absolutely but I
0:38:42wouldn't i do not think based on that
0:38:44one experience i didn't think i would go
0:38:45with a pain in my neck and say hey can I
0:38:49get acupuncture for this pain in my neck
0:38:50because it seems like it seems like it's
0:38:52just like you should go to acupuncture
0:38:54all the time didn't work for adventure
0:38:56or prophylaxis yeah for adventure right
0:38:58i mean whatever that is if you can do
0:39:00that if you put little pins in somebody
0:39:01and make them feel their circulatory
0:39:03system you can do a lot of crazy shit
0:39:05and maybe if it's an 80 year old Chinese
0:39:07man he knows exactly how to do it and
0:39:08and and and you can suddenly flyer you
0:39:12can lucid dream or whatever it is but uh
0:39:15didn't get up early to get up earlier
0:39:18you could yeah you could look at get
0:39:20develop a work ethic but you wouldn't
0:39:22want to start depending on that because
0:39:23you never know one day the airport my
0:39:25collapse and 70 80 year old Chinese man
0:39:26with needles right exactly you're not
0:39:28going to carry him along with myself
0:39:30must put your hand on a wooden beam
0:39:32sometimes then you must be thinking hard
0:39:33about what if this works it works too
0:39:35well right then you're back where you
0:39:37were before
0:39:38well I guess I yeah exactly exactly what
0:39:41I refractive you think that's real
0:39:42I've never done that and i did a website
0:39:45for a chiropractor of many years ago and
0:39:47and like every chiropractor I've met
0:39:49that there's nobody is just a
0:39:51chiropractor like they're all
0:39:52evangelists right and the thing is to be
0:39:55dead honest like I just either so little
0:39:58i needed to understand about
0:40:00chiropractic to make a three page
0:40:01website
0:40:02well and it feels a little tony robbins
0:40:03doesn't get any better is it feels like
0:40:05that it feels like that religion we
0:40:07don't mention because i don't want to
0:40:08get you to sign up for 20 sessions and
0:40:11you will be happier and more secure
0:40:13secure obviously it seems a little
0:40:15fantastical to hook someone up to a box
0:40:17and then tell them how many years of
0:40:19payments are going to need to fix them
0:40:20that seems a little little wacky to me
0:40:22but in this case this guy and the thing
0:40:24is a virus will never read the secret
0:40:26can I just literally beg you to never
0:40:29bring them back up again it's I'm not
0:40:34proud a per se about having been
0:40:37involved in the South self-help industry
0:40:39and it's been something that's being
0:40:40very troubled relationship
0:40:42yeah mentally with that for a long time
0:40:44right but boy I just
0:40:47yeah boy that book makes me and you know
0:40:50in fact that Oprah but like push that
0:40:52book with all that Oprah
0:40:54oh that Oprah coming coming coming this
0:40:57coming this this father the Dumont
0:41:00Network show that Oprah um here's the
0:41:03thing anybody so I couldn't even be
0:41:05caffeine and I felt I felt my
0:41:07circulatory system again
0:41:09oh it was not pleasant it was unpleasant
0:41:13my circulatory system was protesting it
0:41:16was rebelling against me yet
0:41:17second-order Mandarin needles every
0:41:19every little inch right I every look
0:41:21every little corpuscle in my body was
0:41:23saying you want you did what God give us
0:41:27our magic juice you bastard and my
0:41:32friend gets migraines and he's
0:41:34explaining to me and actually it's my
0:41:36shrink about this because I was trying
0:41:37to get this guy some help business is
0:41:38actually like a famous migraine guy at
0:41:41the at the replace regular my shrink is
0:41:44and I he helped you with migraines and
0:41:46apparently and I I don't get this wrong
0:41:48but one reason migraines are so
0:41:50difficult to treat is that they involve
0:41:53three different systems i guess there
0:41:55are other things like this but you know
0:41:56if you've got there's all kinds of
0:41:58things that you can fix with fairly
0:42:00blunt object right if you've got a basic
0:42:02tension headache like taking advil will
0:42:04probably help a little bit but I'm a
0:42:06migraine apparently combines the
0:42:08circulatory system your muscles and and
0:42:12neurology you know your kind of i'm
0:42:14sorry to be getting this wrong tom if
0:42:16you ever hear this but you know what i
0:42:17mean it's not as simple as going to know
0:42:18your neck is too tight so now you have a
0:42:20headache right it's very difficult to
0:42:22get that combination of things fixed and
0:42:24I think that's why people get so
0:42:25frustrated you know what I mean and I
0:42:27mean if you had a migraine
0:42:28no but my mom gets them and I recognize
0:42:31that they are but they're nightmarish
0:42:33that the thing is for me it's like when
0:42:35I when I tried I any squirrely change in
0:42:38diet I i do I very uncomfortable for
0:42:41with any of those diets that mean I
0:42:42can't have coffee with cream or vodka
0:42:44Murnau tequila I really like tequila now
0:42:47but like that's always been found in
0:42:49overtime that's been that's been pretty
0:42:50reasonable for me not my buffet diet
0:42:52choosing on but there are ones like
0:42:55every day like one of those cleanses or
0:42:56something like that
0:42:58I you know there's a while
0:43:00back in the early nineties where there
0:43:03was a there was a restaurant on Broadway
0:43:04called the gravity bar and their voice I
0:43:08wish that were exactly what it sounds
0:43:10like depend we have to get going and get
0:43:13like an extra tenth of a gee your hair
0:43:16well that's kind of that's kind of what
0:43:17it was like you go in and you get it was
0:43:19a raw vegetable bar they would steam
0:43:22they would steam vegetables just for a
0:43:25second you know we could get them wrong
0:43:27but you could also get them like steamed
0:43:29and then with a little side of tahini
0:43:31it's just like a salad bar with the
0:43:33philosophy except except well yeah right
0:43:36exactly a it except that it looked like
0:43:38it was it will look like it was in the
0:43:39future and it only hired the most
0:43:42beautiful like fresh-faced kind of kind
0:43:46of those girls that that have a little
0:43:48bit of a light a light coating of
0:43:50perspiration on fri now I still a little
0:43:53because they're just they glow this come
0:43:55with their wedding without a little bit
0:43:57Brown like slightly darker skin
0:43:58sometimes and so I would go into the
0:44:00gravity bar mean believe me I didn't eat
0:44:02another vegetable in any other component
0:44:05or capacity in my life but this place I
0:44:07would go and I would have these and they
0:44:08were actually delicious meals that was
0:44:10where I learned to drink wheatgrass
0:44:11juice which I love to this day but I so
0:44:16the gravity bar was you know it was like
0:44:18going to a spaceport and sitting in and
0:44:21talking to the beautiful girls behind
0:44:23the counter and eating these vegetables
0:44:24with with tahini and everybody else that
0:44:27was in the gravity bar was also in space
0:44:30with you and that you know i would take
0:44:33would sit and take like a shot of
0:44:35wheatgrass juice like I was in an old
0:44:38west saloon and I was daring all the
0:44:40people around me like come on who's
0:44:42gonna drink with me who's gonna have
0:44:44another shot of wheatgrass youth you
0:44:46know people are like like burping these
0:44:49big gathering their handbags and quietly
0:44:51shopping out in their party and I'm like
0:44:53it I love it it's better than carrot
0:44:55juice in fact give me a carrot juice
0:44:57give me a carrot juice chaser and
0:45:00identidade some girls that work there it
0:45:02was a it was a very it was a it was a
0:45:04very out a productive time there's a
0:45:07lady you we were once I want to visit
0:45:09their lady you've been with for a pretty
0:45:10long time in the work
0:45:11in a restaurant a nice restaurant was a
0:45:13café café con place right around nice
0:45:16cafe nice restaurant cafe again will cut
0:45:18this out of its problematic but is it is
0:45:20it and I getting that a lot of women in
0:45:22your life are people who were able to
0:45:25give you food or drink and a early on
0:45:30the I'm just saying like okay so you
0:45:32didn't go with the Chinese noodle guy
0:45:33i'm guessing you didn't like fine girl a
0:45:36reiki instructor or some of the works
0:45:38tsa it seems like a lot of lot of these
0:45:40people who have been touched by your
0:45:42presence where women who worked in the
0:45:45food service our coffee gallery business
0:45:48well it's true I later on I started to i
0:45:51started to date girls who worked in
0:45:53library science which was a nice
0:45:55thousand nice trend first so they want
0:45:58to help someone is there something they
0:46:00speak with this week softly which is
0:46:02which is nice when you're when you're
0:46:04when you have tendency to get agitated
0:46:05but in any case this gravity bar the one
0:46:08thing as I spent more time there I
0:46:10started to notice that they had a small
0:46:12shelf of books and you know being
0:46:16someone who has never shied away from
0:46:17small shelf of books i started to go
0:46:21over and and you know and ask questions
0:46:22about these books and then eventually I
0:46:24bought one which was about the souper
0:46:27miracle cleanse this is the super
0:46:30miracle class of 25 years ago or
0:46:32whatever where the we're reading this
0:46:35guy's story it was the story of how he
0:46:38went on this fast and a and then started
0:46:42taking these cleansing herbs and out of
0:46:45his body the way he described it was
0:46:48that our intestines and our inner
0:46:50workings are caked with hardened fecal
0:46:55matter which constricts our constricts
0:47:00our pipes until all of our pool is just
0:47:03going through this tiny little aperture
0:47:04because all of this hardened a black
0:47:08bile poo is still in us is like it's a
0:47:12little spackle that fills up every
0:47:13imagination of you got right
0:47:15Wow well said you read it anyway so so
0:47:20coffee is coffee enema guy
0:47:22this isn't coffee and my guy although I
0:47:24did date a girl who who had wheatgrass
0:47:26animals as part of a treatment starts
0:47:28like a bicycle energy when it comes out
0:47:29that she was she was in New York and she
0:47:32doing here candle i tried some of your
0:47:34candle but I felt like it was but
0:47:36there's nothing a q-tip case scam so i
0:47:38continued but in any case so he's
0:47:40talking the story about you know he's
0:47:42sitting in a bathtub and he's is
0:47:44extruding this hard and fecal matter
0:47:46that is like the bicycle inner tube
0:47:48accept pay them it up
0:47:50roofing tar made of like made of like
0:47:55like Carter Administration era beef it
0:47:58there
0:47:59yeah and I'm thinking to myself wow this
0:48:01is this seems extreme this is like if
0:48:04that's really any I'd like to get out
0:48:06and he goes on and on about like and
0:48:09then you know as the stuff comes
0:48:11cleaning off of the walls of your
0:48:12insides it's it's pink life is restored
0:48:16and all and now all you need to do is e1
0:48:19broccoli floret a day but it's vitamins
0:48:22are transmitted to you without you know
0:48:25like instantaneously and automatically
0:48:27become more efficient become more
0:48:29efficient and he was at and I was like
0:48:30this is incredible i'm really into this
0:48:32but then at the end of the last chapter
0:48:34of the book which i think most people
0:48:36don't get to he talks about the last day
0:48:39of his fast walking up and sitting
0:48:41indian-style on the top of a mountain or
0:48:43something and angels visit him and they
0:48:47tell him that he's a good man and they
0:48:50tell him how to juggle four beanbags
0:48:53tell me how you know like they tell him
0:48:59all these magical things and they tell
0:49:00him that they could only visit him now
0:49:02because his is colon is pink and that's
0:49:06that's why
0:49:07angels don't visit us all because we
0:49:09because they get their primary interface
0:49:11with us is our colon this book this book
0:49:17is just that much more horse shit i
0:49:19doubt any of this stuff happened to him
0:49:20he talked about be talking about getting
0:49:23a tapeworm out where he sat in a bathtub
0:49:25full of warm milk and that's at the cape
0:49:28or lights the milk better and some
0:49:30clothes online its little head out of
0:49:33your butt to drink the bathtub milk
0:49:35and then once he's wants his head comes
0:49:37out you wait you don't jump on him right
0:49:39away
0:49:40you got a real gentle-like don't you
0:49:41know jump on facility will spook him but
0:49:43once he gets comfortable and it kind of
0:49:45sticks little bit more relaxed all that
0:49:47warm milk like I was like oh this milk
0:49:49is amazing sleepy little worm and you
0:49:51grabbed his head and you wrap it around
0:49:53a pencil and Men you're twisting the
0:49:58pencil because the tapeworm is 45 feet
0:50:01long and you have to keep this and you
0:50:05have to keep this pencil with the first
0:50:08foot and a half of a tapeworm not
0:50:10wrapped around it you have to keep it
0:50:11hanging out of your butt or however long
0:50:15for whatever though for the week that it
0:50:17takes for you to gradually whisk the
0:50:20paper mouth you keep crudite near the
0:50:23top to nourish yourself i guess you said
0:50:26in there and you burn that you're
0:50:27complaining John you gotta clean and
0:50:29clear your calendar
0:50:30well either that or if you have stuff to
0:50:33do if you have to go to work or whatever
0:50:34you get out of the tub and you put on
0:50:35those like magic hammer pants haha he
0:50:42could work
0:50:43you sit on one of those chairs with the
0:50:45ceiling charity but never touches the
0:50:47thing and the milk go bad
0:50:50well I think you drink the milk you you
0:50:53may be filled up with smoke a few times
0:50:55but you're like oh what a day at work I
0:50:58gotta get home to my milk bath and twist
0:51:00the blue you know another foot and half
0:51:02of this taken home persuade my tape or
0:51:03so I so I got to that point and and I
0:51:07suddenly guys I found myself sitting on
0:51:09a stool in a in a vegan restaurant
0:51:11reading a book about a guy who had fled
0:51:15like discharge 40 pounds of a but tar
0:51:20and the comment could talk to angels and
0:51:23I was like you know what this whole
0:51:24thing is a scam I'm going across the
0:51:25street to get a bacon burger it's a
0:51:27cautionary tale
0:51:28yeah I mean I I can see the appeal of
0:51:30that and i gotta say first of all every
0:51:32time i hear those stories and and I did
0:51:34have a friend and ex that worked at one
0:51:36of those really loopy far-out health
0:51:38food stores what you're saying that he
0:51:40was in the band X could be could be was
0:51:42named DJ bonebrake is that his name but
0:51:45um but she worked at a place where
0:51:48people were very into coffee enemas
0:51:49they would run off these things for you
0:51:50and you know and the people photograph
0:51:52the thing is do you get deep into this
0:51:53stuff you get even to start
0:51:54photographing it and become something
0:51:56almost like hustler are people showing
0:51:57each other their bicycle inner tubes but
0:51:59see i see you in all of this i see a
0:52:01cautionary tale
0:52:02I mean at this point so I'm thinking of
0:52:05like remember the ads there was a shell
0:52:07ubiquitous shell gas station ads were
0:52:10kids and had the booklets you could get
0:52:11about how to drive safer and stuff but
0:52:13they always were like showing well they
0:52:15may also give you cars gonna give you a
0:52:17little of a little um didn't give your
0:52:19cars that one of those gas stations in
0:52:21the seventies would give you a little
0:52:22haha matchbox something funny like a BP
0:52:25kind of thing I don't think we're always
0:52:27find out let's find out
0:52:28but you see those animations like the
0:52:30Pistons going in and out in this basic
0:52:32animation and they show you how if you
0:52:34didn't use techron in your gas like you
0:52:36get all gummed up i think we have you
0:52:37ever seen the movie emmanuelle i guess
0:52:40i've seen several Emmanuel Emmanuel
0:52:41Emmanuel goes to South Africa you know
0:52:44that's how it was at the during part
0:52:46time I was a little bit later but during
0:52:48apartheid yeah that amanda was black
0:52:50emmanuelle is what it was was always
0:52:52block emmanuelle yeah but he's always
0:52:53manuelle like soweto it's the it's soft
0:52:56core pornography so you so there's
0:52:58there's more much more plot than you
0:53:00want maybe her course often i have
0:53:02Showtime buddy and much more much more
0:53:04plot that you want and not as much sex
0:53:06as you can tell it's kind it's kind of
0:53:07like it's almost like a traveling in
0:53:09English travel documentary that happens
0:53:12to have boobs in it right that happens
0:53:13at boobs but in every tear every
0:53:15instance when they would start to have
0:53:16sex there be all the heavy petting and
0:53:19the kissing the boob kissing which is
0:53:21what happens in sex
0:53:22yes and then they then the the man would
0:53:26mount the the female in the movie
0:53:30particular Emmanuel and they would
0:53:31always cut at that point to either a
0:53:35video demonstration of how internal
0:53:38combustion engine works or a scene of a
0:53:41steam locomotive you know power across
0:53:45the the verdant a belt or one rocket
0:53:50tests and excellent rocket X and and and
0:53:52then that the filmmakers never seem to
0:53:57understand never seem to acknowledge
0:53:58that that that this was hilariously
0:54:00funny like it always because they would
0:54:02back to them kind of having serious
0:54:04you're not making a joke about like a
0:54:05cartoon thing that this was a loser
0:54:08think you got some off-brand emmanuelle
0:54:10but that's not what I remember I don't
0:54:13remember any texture on my fingers later
0:54:15I think these are the later Emmanuel's
0:54:16the early manuals with those more pure
0:54:18yeah it's just they just closed Sudan
0:54:21the boob kissing brother i love that the
0:54:23kissing but the later ones had bad steam
0:54:26locomotives and some some some techron
0:54:28demonstration I think the technology
0:54:30demonstration now in this instance I
0:54:31think that becomes part of our mental
0:54:32model for how it works inside we know
0:54:34it's very confusing we know the poop
0:54:36comes out so it must be all bad news in
0:54:37there i'm not saying it's bad to get rid
0:54:39of that but like you know the holders i
0:54:41was reading one you know you do lemon
0:54:43juice and salt and there's just
0:54:44something about that you know it's even
0:54:46before you get to that last chapter
0:54:48you know it it's a slow soak in a warm
0:54:50milk a bath to get you to that point in
0:54:52the book and then you get to the end and
0:54:54at this point I'm just I'm thinking that
0:54:56ancient shits all that's keeping the
0:54:57Angels off my Mountain at this point
0:54:58like I want that in there
0:55:00I want that impacted you know I i really
0:55:02want to limit the number of angels
0:55:03unknown regardless of how I'm sitting
0:55:05well this is the thing because you get
0:55:07your up on your mountain here come the
0:55:09angels and you're like okay I still have
0:55:12enough presence of mind to know that
0:55:14this is unusual and you know I spent my
0:55:18whole life trying to stay within the
0:55:20within the bounds right
0:55:23like here's the bell curve and I'd I
0:55:26don't want to be one of you too far to
0:55:28the right on the angel felker I don't
0:55:29want to be on the flange in either
0:55:31direction on the angel bell curve and so
0:55:34if scraping the poop out of my insides
0:55:37puts me all the way out on the on the
0:55:39the far end of this I think maybe i want
0:55:42that i want the boot back
0:55:43yeah 11-8 it you know what I mean right
0:55:48part of me I mean how do i how much you
0:55:50know like whether or not I'll be
0:55:52surviving off that poop with the pockets
0:55:54it's all in there you know there's also
0:55:56the I this guy said this gets it like a
0:55:58crayon came out of him a crayon 38 when
0:56:01he was six years old
0:56:02is that how he'd haha
0:56:04you're telling me that crowns but in
0:56:07their 40 years
