00:14:35   running through all my videos and now [TS]

00:14:36   i'm super embarrassed that I didn't [TS]

00:14:38   think about 15 years depressive there [TS]

00:14:40   was I could have just been let every [TS]

00:14:42   video I'm tied up that would've made my [TS]

00:14:44   videos better because I would have been [TS]

00:14:46   fucking dancing around anyway have fun [TS]

00:14:50   to do right at the heart of the film [TS]

00:14:52   there's a moment when [TS]

00:14:54   she opens the door to her boss's office [TS]

00:14:57   and she's walking in to deliver some [TS]

00:15:00   papers to her boss she opens the door [TS]

00:15:04   but instead of her boss's office [TS]

00:15:10   field and her boss is sitting at his [TS]

00:15:12   desk wearing a cowboy hat and she she [TS]

00:15:18   makes the walk and puts the papers on [TS]

00:15:25   the scene switches or something that's [TS]

00:15:27   that's that's key moment in establishing [TS]

00:15:30   the character of the boss [TS]

00:15:32   mmm the boss is me I am the boss and if [TS]

00:15:57   and the person getting tied up at the [TS]

00:15:59   end the guy getting tied up with the [TS]

00:16:01   engine seems like a co-worker i I've [TS]

00:16:44   because this is this the this is this [TS]

00:16:47   gonna be call back later you're gonna [TS]

00:16:49   want it to be clear you are tying up at [TS]

00:16:52   the end you can really see your face at [TS]

00:16:53   the end either it does not read as John [TS]

00:16:56   Roderick because that's what they call [TS]

00:16:58   that well with the little three-point I [TS]

00:16:59   what's that called hot not hogtied where [TS]

00:17:01   they call that [TS]

00:17:09   his cowboy hat boss em and they didn't [TS]

00:17:12   take your note on that the guy who was [TS]

00:17:14   making music videos about it was about [TS]

00:34:17   watching these shows again it's still [TS]

00:34:18   doing [TS]

00:34:19   yeah that's what it comes up a lot of [TS]

00:34:20   this program and people probably don't [TS]

00:34:21   know what we're talking about we make a [TS]

00:34:24   show checks so this is one of those [TS]

00:34:25   weird things where I you know I i [TS]

00:34:29   discovered this the other day I was [TS]

00:34:30   talking to a close friend about some [TS]

00:34:32   component of the alcohol recovery [TS]

00:34:36   movement and I realized that she really [TS]

00:34:39   didn't have a encyclopedic knowledge of [TS]

00:34:44   like addiction dependency culture and [TS]

00:34:49   literature and I was a time when [TS]

00:34:51   everything was 12-step deputy like in [TS]

00:34:54   the late eighties early nineties there's [TS]

00:34:56   a giant self-help boom and part of that [TS]

00:34:58   self-help boom lucky good luck suddenly [TS]

00:35:01   go to the bookstore this entire section [TS]

00:35:02   of pink books out of nowhere [TS]

00:35:04   remember you can always go right [TS]

00:35:05   together those mainly marketed at women [TS]

00:35:07   and women love pink so they're all these [TS]

00:35:09   pink books and everything was a call [TS]

00:35:11   recovery your recovery they say recovery [TS]

00:35:13   that is to say that today I think so [TS]

00:35:15   yeah there are a lot of people in [TS]

00:35:16   recovery still although it's not it [TS]

00:35:18   doesn't it doesn't feel like it's quite [TS]

00:35:20   the cure all that it once was but it was [TS]

00:35:23   I mean it got I don't sound insensitive [TS]

00:35:25   because it helped a lot of people but I [TS]

00:35:27   mean even the template AAA then you got [TS]

00:35:28   into narcotics anonymous and then I [TS]

00:35:31   think it became a lot about abuse like [TS]

00:35:33   wasn't like recovering from a pelican [TS]

00:35:35   abusive childhood that was up that was a [TS]

00:35:38   part of it and then it then it got to a [TS]

00:35:40   point where you could use the tenants or [TS]

00:35:41   rather it was it was promoted that you [TS]

00:35:47   could use the tenants of of Alcoholics [TS]

00:35:49   Anonymous to address almost any issue so [TS]

00:35:52   that you could you could be in recovery [TS]

00:35:54   from television you could be four you [TS]

00:35:58   know from over watching television you [TS]

00:36:00   could be in recovery from [TS]

00:36:02   I don't I mean that was the point at [TS]

00:36:05   which I i got off anything but it was [TS]

00:36:07   and I'm again I try because it helps you [TS]

00:36:09   but it was as though anything that was [TS]

00:36:11   traumatic and difficult or compulsive or [TS]

00:36:18   anything that preoccupied your mind [TS]

00:36:20   basement or caused you [TS]

00:36:23   you know i don't i'm not exactly even [TS]

00:36:25   sure because i didn't go to all the [TS]

00:36:26   punchline became a punch line that you [TS]

00:36:28   know that you're the key know there's [TS]

00:36:30   several punchlines about a not to make [TS]

00:36:32   fun of a but just to say like you know [TS]

00:36:34   maybe you have a problem that becomes a [TS]

00:36:36   punchline making amends to kinda becomes [TS]

00:36:39   a punch line but this this person I was [TS]

00:36:42   talking to was a millennium and she did [TS]

00:36:48   not you know the millenniums millenniums [TS]

00:36:51   are gonna make the Dean's look they're [TS]

00:36:54   gonna make the Generation Y look like [TS]

00:36:56   the greatest general more like [TS]

00:36:57   generation why am i right row generation [TS]

00:37:00   why not [TS]

00:37:01   sochi they you know didn't come up in [TS]

00:37:06   this they came up in post recovery irony [TS]

00:37:10   era sure so she just doesn't even you [TS]

00:37:14   know and I'm talking to her like oh yeah [TS]

00:37:15   but I'm gonna happen at all this like [TS]

00:37:17   with all this 12-step ism that sort of [TS]

00:37:21   is just in the water where I live and [TS]

00:37:24   she's like it's almost in a way reset [TS]

00:37:28   where the one of them the millenniums [TS]

00:37:31   are like alcohol alcoholics aren't they [TS]

00:37:35   like people to live under bridges like [TS]

00:37:38   no no no work with we spent years and [TS]

00:37:43   years trying to take away the stigma who [TS]

00:37:46   and now we neglected we didn't end that [TS]

00:37:49   garden for a little while and all the [TS]

00:37:51   millenniums like alcoholics that's gross [TS]

00:37:55   yeah hopefully we have to start all over [TS]

00:37:56   again we have to start we have to beat [TS]

00:37:59   them all down with our alcoholic [TS]

00:38:01   alcoholism like cricket bats [TS]

00:38:05   it's a cricket but black wax 23 flag so [TS]

00:38:12   a lot of you know a lot of language a [TS]

01:01:09   I feel like you need to exercise may be [TS]

01:01:12   in order to get a girlfriend maybe not [TS]

01:01:15   sure so I went to school in the [TS]

01:01:18   beginning of my junior year I was like [TS]

01:01:20   you could tell just by the way people [TS]

01:01:23   treated me that I was being I was [TS]

01:01:26   definitely on a track to be excluded and [TS]

01:01:34   I already preferred to be in the band [TS]

01:01:36   room at lunch so I was headed their part [TS]

01:01:40   like my preference was to ally myself [TS]

01:01:44   with my peers who were people that sat [TS]

01:01:47   in the band room at lunch and practice [TS]

01:01:50   the clarinet or sat in the dark room of [TS]

01:01:53   the student newspaper and like I mean [TS]

01:01:55   had a friend who was the one of the [TS]

01:01:58   photographers of the student newspaper [TS]

01:01:58   who would just take surreptitious [TS]

01:02:00   photographs of the cheerleaders and then [TS]

01:02:02   develop them and like I don't know what [TS]

01:02:05   he would do with the pictures to mean [TS]

01:02:06   it's not like they were panty upskirt [TS]

01:02:08   shots everybody sees applying himself [TS]

01:02:10   yeah he would just sit across the just [TS]

01:02:12   focus on the gym [TS]

01:02:13   weirdo but i decided i needed a [TS]

01:02:17   girlfriend so i started i got just got [TS]

01:02:20   to school to be getting a junior year [TS]

01:02:21   and I was like who is going to be my [TS]

01:02:22   girlfriend who's the lucky girl who [TS]

01:02:29   and I picked Kiki for I've talked about [TS]

01:02:32   her on the show but she's a redhead girl [TS]

01:02:33   that's right redheaded girl night and [TS]

01:02:35   she was the class president I chased her [TS]

01:02:36   I chased her i chased your muscles and [TS]

01:02:39   then I want her affections and then we [TS]

01:02:42   were like a couple and she was abused a [TS]

01:02:46   big wheel and then I was a big wheel [TS]

01:02:49   I was big man on campus all of a sudden [TS]

01:02:51   largely because I had because i had [TS]

01:02:54   coupled with this with this very [TS]

01:02:57   accomplished lady and when I genuinely [TS]

01:03:04   loved her I mean she was she was in my [TS]

01:03:07   thoughts all the time because she kind [TS]

01:15:14   you here like this stuff going on in [TS]

01:15:15   Pennsylvania etc and then when the other [TS]

01:15:17   plane hit the tower you're like okay [TS]

01:15:20   literally anything could happen right [TS]

01:15:22   now you cannot make a plausible movie of [TS]

01:15:24   this there's no way that this could [TS]

01:15:26   actually be happening so i slept til ten [TS]

01:15:28   o'clock in the morning that morning yeah [TS]

01:15:30   and then I woke up to my mom sitting on [TS]

01:15:45   knows what would present what would [TS]

01:15:47   prompt my mom to wake me up and she said [TS]

01:15:50   I said she's an infection by sitting on [TS]

01:15:52   my bed be and touching my knee see all [TS]

01:15:56   right what is time pretty familiar [TS]

01:15:59   she said I have bad news man shit she [TS]

01:16:03   was like somebody flew two planes into [TS]

01:16:08   the World Trade Center and blew them up [TS]

01:16:10   and was like I had just returned from [TS]

01:16:12   New York right I'd been at the top of [TS]

01:16:13   the world trade center on august 30th [TS]

01:16:15   i've been i've been in seattle for a [TS]

01:16:19   week [TS]

01:16:19   remember that elevator your ears to pop [TS]

01:16:21   on the LA right so yeah it was a [TS]

01:16:23   fast-moving elevator for them but it [TS]

01:16:26   took minutes when i was there letter 89 [TS]

01:16:28   it's just it's like there's no way this [TS]

01:16:29   elevator i could be this loan is very [TS]

01:16:31   tall built [TS]

01:16:32   yeah so she turns on the TV and there's [TS]

01:16:35   one tower on the TV smoking and one [TS]

01:16:39   tower standing and I was like what are [TS]

01:16:41   you talking about mom that's that's one [TS]

01:16:43   plane and she said no I've seen this [TS]

01:16:45   footage over and over by now just watch [TS]

01:16:48   and then because they're replaying over [TS]

01:16:50   and over and over again so it was so she [TS]

01:16:55   like she had already taken the sting she [TS]

01:17:01   already somewhat like spoiler alert of [TS]

01:17:03   me before I actually saw it so I didn't [TS]

01:17:06   see it in real time I i got the I got [TS]

01:17:08   the CliffsNotes and then I was right but [TS]

01:17:11   Peter Jennings at one point said as he [TS]

01:17:14   was reporting that President Bush and [TS]

01:17:17   his entourage [TS]

01:17:18   were mysteriously just flying in circles [TS]

01:17:22   around America I don't know if you [TS]

01:17:23   remember I do [TS]

01:17:25   he just got everything that the thing [TS]

01:17:26   that I'm going to beat this to death but [TS]

01:17:28   the thing that you can overstate is that [TS]

01:17:30   when the first one happened you're like [TS]

01:17:32   this is the craziest news of the last 20 [TS]

01:17:34   years or whatever you did a plane [TS]

01:17:35   because of first you're going there's no [TS]

01:17:37   way that's what happened [TS]

01:17:38   there's no way that eighth plane because [TS]

01:17:40   the things you need to know a lot about [TS]

01:17:42   aeronautics in aviation it's pretty hard [TS]

01:17:45   to hit a building with a plane there for [TS]

01:17:47   them it's pretty well the first one even [TS]

01:17:49   the first one that's happening you're [TS]

01:17:50   like and the reports are coming up and [TS]

01:17:52   we're not sure where dick cheney is all [TS]

01:17:53   this stuff going on and and even in that [TS]

01:17:55   is that period and then the other one [TS]

01:17:57   hit [TS]

01:17:58   is that the one that like with a blue [TS]

01:17:59   the hole through yeah and you're just [TS]

01:18:01   like wait a minute there's gotta be a [TS]

01:18:03   mistake [TS]

01:18:03   that's got to be an error there's no way [TS]

01:18:05   that happened twice [TS]

01:18:06   yeah and now course you can always used [TS]

01:18:08   to think about it ruminate on people as [TS]

01:18:09   it was happening [TS]

01:18:10   it felt like the most demanding you [TS]

01:18:11   start hearing reports of other things [TS]

01:18:13   happening and you're like a night [TS]

01:18:14   remember very distinctly by noon that [TS]

01:18:15   day thinking fucking anything could [TS]

01:18:20   that this was like I mean I'm not trying [TS]

01:18:22   to sound glib but like we found out [TS]

01:18:24   there was some kind of like bizarre [TS]

01:18:25   virus or alien invasion at this point i [TS]

01:18:27   would not be that surprised or if you [TS]

01:18:29   turn on the TV and you're like Houston [TS]

01:18:32   explosion [TS]
