00:10:23   standing there the car was there it was [TS]

00:10:29   those meetings [TS]

00:10:30   one of those meetings in life where you [TS]

00:10:31   just encounter someone in the afternoon [TS]

00:10:34   and by the end by the end of the day you [TS]

00:10:37   know that you have you have you really [TS]

00:10:39   lived you know you know yahoo you really [TS]

00:10:42   leave the kind of charming only these [TS]

00:10:44   few hours we have really lived and then [TS]

00:10:51   startled and terrified and we turn and [TS]

00:10:53   the bushes are full of photographers ish [TS]

00:10:57   because i think the Olsen twins were in [TS]

00:11:02   the shadow or maybe it was I think the [TS]

00:11:07   Olsen twins were there at but then I [TS]

00:11:10   think there might also have been another [TS]

00:11:11   like that there was probably a rat king [TS]

00:11:16   of celebrities because it was a Saturday [TS]

00:11:19   night I was a rat king of celebrity [TS]

00:11:22   that's the new collective in the lobby [TS]

00:11:23   with a worker you know they were all [TS]

00:11:26   like doing cocaine and playing piano and [TS]

00:11:28   simple and so these photographers had no [TS]

00:11:31   idea who we were but because we looked [TS]

00:11:33   chic and because we were behaving in a [TS]

00:11:36   chic fashion and they may have her over [TS]

00:11:39   her French accent they were like these [TS]

00:11:42   people must be we'd better with we'd [TS]

00:11:44   better get this for safety right here [TS]

00:11:48   there [TS]

00:11:48   I mean you get the coverage the top [TS]

00:11:51   towel and I was I mean I went into like [TS]

00:11:54   a combat Crouch is your training i think [TS]

00:11:58   is very I pulled out my Marine Corps [TS]

00:12:00   survival knife i hustled her into the [TS]

00:12:03   car history as a human shield but no no [TS]

00:12:07   I stood between her and the and the zoo [TS]

00:12:10   gunfire hustled into the car we pounded [TS]

00:12:14   on the trunk go God me and I collected [TS]

00:12:20   for scalps but it was it was I had a [TS]

00:12:23   sense just a momentary sense of what a [TS]

00:12:27   nightmare [TS]

00:12:28   it must be to try to just be a just [TS]

00:12:31   leave the Rat King for a second as a [TS]

00:12:33   celebrity and walk outside for a [TS]

00:12:36   cigarette be to put french girl in a car [TS]

00:12:38   who see to run across the street for a [TS]

00:12:42   pack of cigarettes [TS]

00:12:43   tonight I guess they have people for [TS]

00:12:44   that but it was blue boy [TS]

00:12:47   holy cats I would not want it [TS]

00:12:50   no way no that would you know you that [TS]

00:12:54   would intrude on something very that [TS]

00:12:56   would intrude on something about you [TS]

00:12:58   that you do not want to intrude upon I [TS]

00:12:59   think you're probably right [TS]

00:13:00   um yeah I i I'm yeah well we've covered [TS]

00:13:05   this I I'm a very social person but I [TS]

00:13:09   wouldn't want to be you know fastball [TS]

00:13:14   all those other shots of celebrities [TS]

00:13:17   where they're like winding up to punch a [TS]

00:13:21   yeah and the photographer gets that that [TS]

00:13:23   classic shot of you know Sean Penn with [TS]

00:13:29   in the air that the the celebs in [TS]

00:13:31   question never look good in those shots [TS]

00:13:34   but you can you can kind of empathize [TS]

00:13:36   with well it helps when you see video of [TS]

00:13:39   that because when you see how you know [TS]

00:13:43   the word how aggressive multiple people [TS]

00:13:53   you know and I mean it's the the bigger [TS]

00:13:56   you get the more you're supposed to just [TS]

00:13:58   think that that's okay i guess i I'm [TS]

00:14:29   an eye-opener to the effect of how [TS]

00:14:33   boring it is to be a young celebrity em [TS]

00:14:35   but anytime you're the biggest celebrity [TS]

00:23:32   lots of those gallon-sized ziplock bags [TS]

00:23:34   be perfect for that's what it's for [TS]

00:23:35   right and it's just it's one it's one of [TS]

00:23:37   several examples of how the bazan family [TS]

00:23:39   has really they pioneered a lot of a lot [TS]

00:23:42   of thought technologies that we have [TS]

00:23:44   employed in the raising of our own child [TS]

00:23:48   fleet if and when we don't cut this out [TS]

00:23:49   but whenever [TS]

00:23:52   project we're talking about doing we [TS]

00:23:54   laughing I think he has a lot to share [TS]

00:23:56   with people he really does he's got a [TS]

00:23:57   lot of the technologies that people [TS]

00:23:59   don't get you know they don't even know [TS]

00:29:03   the Soylent train then your then the [TS]

00:29:07   soil it just is flowing right on the [TS]

00:29:09   spice and the spice but if you're new to [TS]

00:29:12   the soil and train you gotta wait in the [TS]

00:29:15   station and they send you emails like [TS]

00:29:18   you're someone's coming but it's gonna [TS]

00:29:19   be it's gonna be five more weeks it's [TS]

00:29:23   like a zit a supply-and-demand problem [TS]

00:29:25   yeah they're scaling up and there is [TS]

00:29:27   only one point for whatever there's a [TS]

00:29:29   new version they have version numbers on [TS]

00:29:31   their food so I 1.4 yea and perhaps [TS]

00:29:33   threats very excited about the new 1i [TS]

00:29:35   think you don't have to add like I like [TS]

00:29:37   oil to it anymore [TS]

00:29:38   oh that sucks 61like isn't part of me [TS]

00:29:44   that thinks you know what I should do is [TS]

00:29:46   get the 400 and something dollars [TS]

00:29:47   version so i don't have money anymore [TS]

00:29:48   and I have to eat it i think i should [TS]

00:29:50   force myself to eat for a month [TS]

00:29:52   this sounds like something you would try [TS]

00:29:54   John just just as a thought technology i [TS]

00:29:56   could see you saying I'm gonna do this [TS]

00:29:58   for a month and that's just going to be [TS]

00:29:59   a thing I do [TS]

00:30:00   oh I'm very curious about it don't it [TS]

00:30:02   sounds I mean let's be honest it sounds [TS]

00:30:03   miserable it sound it sounds like [TS]

00:30:05   punishment but it's like going on some [TS]

00:30:07   kind of a diet or a purge or cruise like [TS]

00:30:09   something you really regret but but you [TS]

00:30:11   know but you gotta really go off balls [TS]

00:30:13   in you know I'm saying well the thing [TS]

00:30:15   about the thing about punishment is that [TS]

00:30:18   I derive a lot of pleasure from [TS]

00:30:19   punishment and if ever you see you're on [TS]

00:30:22   record John suffering is not punishment [TS]

00:30:24   that's right and so so all these all [TS]

00:30:27   these deprivation diets where it's like [TS]

00:30:29   all right for the next three days all [TS]

00:30:30   you get to do [TS]

00:30:31   because hot lemon juice and then you get [TS]

00:30:33   to put a little even then you get to put [TS]

00:30:35   a little agave and your hot lemon juice [TS]

00:30:37   for three it's like a little up it's [TS]

00:30:39   driving me crazy like i don't i don't [TS]

00:30:41   like it but if if if the tie it was [TS]

00:30:44   every day you drink one mug of cement [TS]

00:30:49   mix and then in the afternoon another [TS]

00:30:53   mug of cement mix and then a sensible [TS]

00:30:55   dinner you know where where your stomach [TS]

00:31:00   was just full of this you know of a [TS]

00:31:03   basically like a like concrete made of [TS]

00:31:06   nuts or whatever that stuff is it i mean [TS]

00:31:09   they basically they go to out they go to [TS]

00:31:11   laboratory store and buy magnesium [TS]

00:31:15   potassium aluminum flakes and and and [TS]

00:31:19   and put some oil in it right that's yeah [TS]

00:31:21   soil is yeah it's like it's like it is a [TS]

00:31:25   little bit like edible concrete but [TS]

00:31:26   here's here's my problem in and like [TS]

00:31:28   again this is a little personal but like [TS]

00:31:30   I'm the heater in the family I am the [TS]

00:31:32   one of the three of us who live in our [TS]

00:31:34   household [TS]

00:31:34   I'm the one that likes to have a meal on [TS]

00:31:36   a plate right with parts and I want two [TS]

00:31:39   or three parts even if it's just if it's [TS]

00:31:41   just like a steak & noodles that still [TS]

00:31:43   counts as a meal but I want to serve it [TS]

00:31:45   at the same time I want it on a plate [TS]

00:31:47   I want it to be hot and I want to use a [TS]

00:31:48   fork I want to be seated I don't want to [TS]

00:31:50   be eating it over the sink I will sit [TS]

00:31:52   and watch TV while I am NOT an animal [TS]

00:31:54   but but i am the only one in the house [TS]

00:31:57   that cares one iota one whit about that [TS]

00:31:59   my daughter would be fine as soon as the [TS]

00:32:01   rice is done as soon as the noodles are [TS]

00:32:02   done [TS]

00:32:03   she's ready for dinner and I'm like no [TS]

00:32:04   it's not food yet that's just one [TS]

00:32:05   constituent but I i'm learning i am the [TS]

00:32:08   only person who cares about that so I'm [TS]

00:32:09   the one who's gonna have to make that [TS]

00:32:11   happen because they're both perfectly [TS]

00:32:12   happy i can get my daughter noodles [TS]

00:32:14   carrots and cucumbers and that that's [TS]

00:32:16   that's almost a meal [TS]

00:32:17   she's happy with that it is there is [TS]

00:32:20   there a window of time during which [TS]

00:32:22   dinner has to happen for you [TS]

00:32:25   um no not really my I mean the only [TS]

00:32:29   thing to that point is that i tend to [TS]

00:32:31   forget to eat like right now my stomach [TS]

00:32:32   is audibly rumbling because i forgot to [TS]

00:32:33   eat today I do that a lot but now no [TS]

00:32:36   what about you no no i mean so it's [TS]

00:32:39   sometimes dinner happens at 9pm [TS]

00:32:41   sometimes dinner happens at [TS]

00:32:43   for the afternoon sometimes dinner [TS]

00:32:45   happens it at 1am well your kids now in [TS]

00:32:48   an age where I think you can appreciate [TS]

00:32:50   the importance of the Cascade where you [TS]

00:32:53   know anything could potentially happen [TS]

00:32:55   anytime if I didn't really could fuck [TS]

00:32:57   everything up so there's a certain order [TS]

00:32:59   to things right listen up this is not [TS]

00:33:01   nam this is bowling right right so you [TS]

00:33:03   got the thing is if you want to have [TS]

00:33:05   story enough time for stories at bedtime [TS]

00:33:07   you gotta get the baths by a certain [TS]

00:33:08   time to have it i asked by a certain [TS]

00:33:09   time we need to have you know homework [TS]

00:33:12   done and food and all that so the thing [TS]

00:33:13   is if you do have dinner at seven [TS]

00:33:15   o'clock the kind of screws up everything [TS]

00:33:16   he does and this is what happened last [TS]

00:33:18   night I was uh I had talked my daughter [TS]

00:33:21   into bed I had sort of laid down on her [TS]

00:33:24   bed to say goodnight to her and I saying [TS]

00:33:29   you know frère Jacques to her and then [TS]

00:33:34   after you sing Frere Jacques she wants [TS]

00:33:35   you to sing in English she's not [TS]

00:33:38   satisfied if you just think in English [TS]

00:33:40   she wants it in french first and then [TS]

00:33:43   it's like a tiny little kickback [TS]

00:33:45   that's right angry at everyone now [TS]

00:33:48   sacre bleu sacre bleu [TS]

00:33:52   so and then I'm lying there and and i [TS]

00:33:57   say as i do at the end of every day with [TS]

00:33:59   her i said to have any other questions [TS]

00:34:01   you never have other questions [TS]

00:34:08   oh she always does and she takes she is [TS]

00:34:11   so she knows so she's a little bit of a [TS]

00:34:13   thumbsucker and she knows that daddy [TS]

00:34:14   will not answer a question that is asked [TS]

00:34:17   but passed a thumb right if you're going [TS]

00:34:20   to ask a question of a grown-up you have [TS]

00:34:22   to take your thumb out of your mouth one [TS]

00:34:24   of the basic rules and a lot of [TS]

00:34:26   Millennials can learn that John you know [TS]

00:34:27   what I apply that to every I you know I [TS]

00:34:29   said it to a cop the other day listen [TS]

00:34:31   I'm not going to answer your question [TS]

00:34:32   sir unless you get your thumb out of [TS]

00:34:33   your mouth so she takes them out of her [TS]

00:34:37   mouth she she you know she looks at me [TS]

00:34:39   seriously and she says Danny what is [TS]

00:34:43   beauty and I'm like this is last night [TS]

00:34:48   and I'm like oh what is beauty [TS]

00:34:50   Jesus [TS]

00:34:52   and so I so I go you know I give up I [TS]

00:34:56   give a basic sort of careful once-over [TS]

00:35:03   through beauty that's just there's so [TS]

00:35:06   many little sand traps in that lot of [TS]

00:35:09   sand traps and a lot of you know a lot [TS]

00:35:10   of stuff that you have to be careful of [TS]

00:35:13   of you know your language and then your [TS]

00:35:16   metal language and your pre language but [TS]

00:35:19   you also have to watch how long a pause [TS]

00:35:20   to think about it that's right you have [TS]

00:35:22   to just get an answer out because there [TS]

00:35:24   it is and you know maybe it makes it i [TS]

00:35:28   think the longer i feei feel like the [TS]

00:35:30   longer i wait to compose a good answer [TS]

00:35:33   the more it's going to feel like [TS]

00:35:34   bullshit right well and the other thing [TS]

00:35:36   is I feel like kids even young kids have [TS]

00:35:39   enough intrinsic logic to know that an [TS]

00:35:42   answer along the lines of well beauty is [TS]

00:35:44   what you make it or beauty is different [TS]

00:35:46   for everybody is also kind of a lie [TS]

00:35:49   I mean that is true and you need to [TS]

00:35:51   communicate that concept that beauty is [TS]

00:35:53   relative but if Beauty it's it's like [TS]

00:35:59   all that stuff that people say like oh [TS]

00:36:00   it's different for everybody and no it's [TS]

00:36:02   just better that's not nice like that's [TS]

00:36:03   right it's like if that were true then [TS]

00:36:05   we wouldn't talk about it all the time [TS]

00:36:07   and there wouldn't be a word for it [TS]

00:36:08   right so anyway give an answer and she's [TS]

00:36:12   you know got a couple of follow-up [TS]

00:36:13   questions and at some point she says [TS]

00:36:17   like you know because I because I said [TS]

00:36:20   like some people think that is that a [TS]

00:36:21   bunch of sailboats on a lake on a sunny [TS]

00:36:23   day is very beautiful to see the [TS]

00:36:25   sailboats all together on the lake [TS]

00:36:27   other people don't have they don't feel [TS]

00:36:30   that emotion when they see a bunch of [TS]

00:36:33   sailboats they just see boats they don't [TS]

00:36:35   see the beauty and she said my eyes are [TS]

00:36:39   beautiful because everybody says that to [TS]

00:36:44   her and so she's trying to like fit that [TS]

00:36:47   in that you like sort of two sailboats [TS]

00:36:49   yeah like what am I supposed to do with [TS]

00:36:52   this basically she's asked me what is [TS]

00:36:54   beauty because she's single [TS]

00:36:55   what am I supposed to do with this when [TS]

00:36:56   everybody says my eyes are beautiful [TS]

00:36:58   what does that mean and what are they [TS]

00:37:01   saying [TS]

00:37:01   and when is what am i how do i do what [TS]

00:37:03   do i do with what's my take away [TS]

00:37:05   and I was like I don't think there's [TS]

00:37:08   anybody that would disagree that your [TS]

00:37:09   eyes are beautiful but i'm sure i could [TS]

00:37:13   find somebody who's like Blair they'll [TS]

00:37:18   look but so i gotta so you know she's [TS]

00:37:21   finally you know she finally has had [TS]

00:37:23   some food for thought I was like you [TS]

00:37:26   know remember the james bond movie where [TS]

00:37:28   where roger moore gets on a circus train [TS]

00:37:31   that's universally regarded as not [TS]

00:37:35   beautiful by everybody is like an aging [TS]

00:37:37   roger morris dressed as a clown me and [TS]

00:37:39   she's like right right idea i agree i [TS]

00:37:42   know what that I know what you mean now [TS]

00:37:43   but I get out of a room i close the door [TS]

00:37:46   i say goodnight sweetheart close the [TS]

00:37:47   door I look up at the clock it's ten [TS]

00:37:49   o'clock now I'm like how did this happen [TS]

00:37:52   how did I get to ten o'clock here i did [TS]

00:37:55   not i had there was dinner and there was [TS]

00:37:58   a there was some storytelling and then [TS]

00:38:02   there was pajamas got on and weds ten [TS]

00:38:04   o'clock every night I say this to my [TS]

00:38:06   wife twice a week but every night at a [TS]

00:38:09   different time I don't know when it [TS]

00:38:10   happens but at some point between [TS]

00:38:12   usually about 4 15 and 6 45 and our [TS]

00:38:16   disappears [TS]

00:38:17   there's an hour i cannot account for [TS]

00:38:19   every night I'm like what the fuck how [TS]

00:38:21   is it 630 yeah those hours are going [TS]

00:38:23   somewhere [TS]

00:38:25   well they're going back to nineteen [TS]

00:38:26   ninety-seven they're trying to rebuild [TS]

00:38:27   the missing teen is that totally makes [TS]

00:38:30   sense there I they're like collecting [TS]

00:38:32   like people are resilient dump trying to [TS]

00:38:33   get some milk cartons in the ear out of [TS]

00:38:35   it that's right exactly [TS]

00:38:36   ah that explains a lot on well I feel [TS]

00:38:40   like this is the thing about about [TS]

00:38:42   multiple multiverses and I feel that's [TS]

00:38:44   the thing about what happens if you go [TS]

00:38:46   into the black hole and you are in the [TS]

00:38:48   room of a of all the times and you start [TS]

00:38:53   knocking books off the shelf [TS]

00:38:54   yeah yeah pretty soon you're going to [TS]

00:38:56   make a year somewhere where you're going [TS]

00:38:59   to take a year away [TS]

00:39:00   well it makes sense because of the [TS]

00:39:02   differences in gravity when you know [TS]

00:39:04   what we need to get Neil deGrasse Tyson [TS]

00:39:05   on here okay [TS]

00:39:07   he's going to have his whole you know [TS]

00:39:08   like blah blah blah theories [TS]

00:39:10   yeah about it and then we'll get Ted [TS]

00:39:13   Cruz and he can give us his theories [TS]

00:39:16   okay um and jump in here the [TS]

00:39:19   other thing that I did related to food [TS]

00:39:20   part 2 yeah I am tried some different [TS]

00:39:25   Salisbury steaks see what you did it [TS]

00:39:28   even sounds big comparison test yeah [TS]

00:39:31   apparently one night apparently well [TS]

00:39:35   apparently a few nights ago I cooked two [TS]

00:39:38   different brands of Salisbury steak and [TS]

00:39:41   to do a side-by-side tests are you [TS]

00:39:42   saying that this happened during a [TS]

00:39:44   blackout or some kind of everything that [TS]

00:39:46   happens after my family goes to bed [TS]

00:39:48   that's what I do most of my science [TS]

00:39:49   because it's just it's just easier to [TS]

00:39:52   cleaner environment [TS]

00:39:53   let's talk with beauty so I cooked it up [TS]

00:39:55   and I I knew the winner going into it [TS]

00:39:57   you can tell the winner just by looking [TS]

00:39:59   at the ingredients [TS]

00:40:00   yeah but I did I could not find the [TS]

00:40:03   boiling bag i think that's an artifact [TS]

00:40:04   this point that breaks my heart [TS]

00:40:05   unless we go to ebay i don't think we're [TS]

00:40:07   going to find boil in bag Salisbury [TS]

00:40:08   steak but i did get a nicely paired [TS]

00:40:11   Stouffer Salisbury steak with macaroni [TS]

00:40:13   cheese and then I got some kind of like [TS]

00:40:15   weird off-brand cafeteria food one to [TS]

00:40:18   compare it with and this tho those [TS]

00:40:20   surfers was much much better it was it [TS]

00:40:22   was you know it was it was good the [TS]

00:40:24   other one was not was was categorically [TS]

00:40:26   not good the other one had that kind of [TS]

00:40:29   like a cafeteria like elementary school [TS]

00:40:32   cafeteria hamburger feel to it [TS]

00:40:34   yeah well when you look at the [TS]

00:40:36   ingredients if if like the second or [TS]

00:40:39   third ingredient is dog food okay you [TS]

00:40:42   know that's not that's the one to leave [TS]

00:40:44   bond [TS]

00:40:45   yeah yeah well you know it's funny [TS]

00:41:17   a little bit of get a little noodle with [TS]

00:41:19   every bite I i took note from you though [TS]

00:41:21   I believe your advice is always make the [TS]

00:45:20   really good and super convenient so I [TS]

00:45:23   have a very complicated relationship [TS]

00:45:24   with hard-boiled eggs through hardball [TS]

00:45:29   hard-boiled eggs as you know smell like [TS]

00:45:31   feet and I they are both [TS]

00:45:38   kind of spongy slimy and also chalky [TS]

00:45:41   melee uh-huh right you have to be [TS]

00:45:44   applied through the spongy slimy part to [TS]

00:45:46   get to the chalky merely part and for [TS]

00:45:49   years I didn't want anything to do with [TS]

00:45:51   the hardwell day I don't want anything [TS]

00:45:53   to do with it but then when I was [TS]

00:45:56   walking across Europe you get to that [TS]

00:45:59   point you know so you're in england [TS]

00:46:00   right and you get the you get the deluxe [TS]

00:46:02   English breakfast which is like which is [TS]

00:46:05   like 15 different kinds of food all I is [TS]

00:46:08   it like an Irish Breakfast irish [TS]

00:46:09   breakfast yesterday [TS]

00:46:10   yeah it's like my putting you get the [TS]

00:46:12   you get the blood sausage you get the [TS]

00:46:14   liens you always get beans in my [TS]

00:46:16   experience an irish breakfast is sort of [TS]

00:46:18   a uniform brown they're shooting for a [TS]

00:46:20   brown kind of like a universally [TS]

00:46:23   golden-brown yeah yeah [TS]

00:46:24   an English breakfast really wants the [TS]

00:46:27   entire breakfast ultimately to be the [TS]

00:46:29   color of the whole of a ship it's trying [TS]

00:46:33   to get a kind of steely gray a steely [TS]

00:46:36   gray color and it's grim and dignified [TS]

00:46:39   it's really it's really grim and and I [TS]

00:46:42   think we've talked about this before [TS]

00:46:43   where the English the United Kingdom [TS]

00:46:46   people who eat these breakfasts they [TS]

00:46:50   need a little bit of this and then they [TS]

00:46:51   move over need a little bit of that and [TS]

00:46:52   then move it a little bit of that and if [TS]

00:46:54   you are an American and you look at this [TS]

00:46:57   plate of beans and and tomatoes and so [TS]

00:47:01   forth and you're just like great and you [TS]

00:47:02   stir it all up together in one kind of [TS]

00:47:04   like soupy mush boy it really affects [TS]

00:47:08   them it makes them recoil in horror they [TS]

00:47:12   have a lot of you know what I mean they [TS]

00:47:13   like they like to wait in lines they [TS]

00:47:15   have a lot of the English people have a [TS]

00:47:16   lot of they definitely like things a [TS]

00:47:18   certain way [TS]

00:47:19   yeah and do not think you should make [TS]

00:47:21   sure English and they survived for [TS]

00:47:22   thousands of years with a certain kind [TS]

00:47:24   of order right but then you cross the [TS]

00:47:26   channel and then you are in the land of [TS]

00:47:29   black bread and hard-boiled eggs and [TS]

00:47:32   every day you get you could eat you you [TS]

00:47:35   go someplace for breakfast and they're [TS]

00:47:36   like here's some black bread here is [TS]

00:47:39   some momento lo this is more germany had [TS]

00:47:44   touchy German land who move monster land [TS]

00:47:49   let's call it whoo & [TS]

00:47:51   I love that pimento loaf right salami [TS]

00:47:53   with little bits in it like not but like [TS]

00:47:57   yeah like little bits of olive and [TS]

00:48:01   pistachios and you know I'm talking to [TS]

00:48:03   me and now I I do i do and then I tend [TS]

00:48:06   to skip over those things [TS]

00:48:07   well sure as you do right but if you're [TS]

00:48:10   sitting if you're starving to death as i [TS]

00:48:12   was literally to death and you and you [TS]

00:48:16   have opportunity to avail yourself of [TS]

00:48:18   our breakfast there is a house brow who [TS]

00:48:20   is presenting you with a breakfast on [TS]

00:48:23   and maybe going to watch you eat it [TS]

00:48:24   absolutely gonna watch it and there's [TS]

00:48:26   some kind of bread that is the color of [TS]

00:48:29   like raw raw crude oil and then there is [TS]

00:48:34   a pimento loaf and then maybe a second [TS]

00:48:38   pimento loaf and then a hard-boiled egg [TS]

00:48:40   you're like Jesus at least I know what [TS]

00:48:43   the egg is tonight at least I recognize [TS]

00:48:45   the egg so I started to i started to eat [TS]

00:48:48   these eggs and I realized that hard [TS]

00:48:50   boiled eggs are amazing [TS]

00:48:52   now I'm in my thirties at this point [TS]

00:48:54   uh-huh [TS]

00:48:55   never never really enjoyed an egg now I [TS]

00:48:58   was really enjoying an egg but when I [TS]

00:49:01   got back to America and I was in a land [TS]

00:49:03   of plenty [TS]

00:49:04   again where I had a refrigerator full of [TS]

00:49:07   yesterday's noodles boil-in-the-bag [TS]

00:49:10   Salisbury steaks on the hoof it was very [TS]

00:49:15   difficult for me to go back to this this [TS]

00:49:18   privation diet huh [TS]

00:49:20   right where I once upon a time had [TS]

00:49:23   enjoyed hardball days and i have not [TS]

00:49:25   i've never been able to put it back into [TS]

00:49:26   gear because I because I never and [TS]

00:49:30   confronted with pimento loaf so [TS]

00:49:32   hard-boiled egg has fallen back to the [TS]

00:49:34   bottom of the list i get it and having [TS]

00:49:36   my dad I think I think my dad in a my [TS]

00:49:39   late father any more enlightened age [TS]

00:49:41   would probably have been diagnosed with [TS]

00:49:43   PTSD from being Korea and it was really [TS]

00:49:46   rough time he was an infant really oh [TS]

00:49:48   yeah he could be around fireworks and [TS]

00:49:51   then another one was that he just [TS]

00:49:55   chicken and rice [TS]

00:49:56   he just did not ever want to see it [TS]

00:49:58   again because you walk around Korea and [TS]

00:50:00   you kill a bunch of fucking chickens [TS]

00:50:01   need some rice and that's what they did [TS]

00:50:02   all the time while [TS]

00:50:03   they were miserable and I don't you know [TS]

00:50:04   even for a man in his twenties I think [TS]

00:50:06   that has enough of a kind of imprint on [TS]

00:50:09   chicken as bad news index in your case [TS]

00:50:12   once your way from the provision of the [TS]

00:50:13   of the brown bread and the and the eggs [TS]

00:50:16   watch your back to the SS brown the hoof [TS]

00:50:19   like why would you why would you go back [TS]

00:50:20   why have an egg in an egg and onion as [TS]

00:52:08   living in the front yard anymore but you [TS]

00:52:10   know Gary might be the only thing that's [TS]

00:52:12   holding that whole thing down right it's [TS]

00:52:14   like it's a guy like a human [TS]

00:52:16   a game of Jenga you don't move the van [TS]

00:52:24   moved it had just moved to a different [TS]

00:52:27   place he stipulated it doesn't run well [TS]

00:52:30   it had must have it must have run enough [TS]

00:52:33   to pull out where it was and then repart [TS]

00:52:36   itself and what I feel like is that they [TS]

00:52:39   had a big fight they were like you're [TS]

00:52:41   out of here and he went out and spent [TS]

00:52:44   what she probably was two-and-a-half [TS]

00:52:46   hours getting the van started then he [TS]

00:52:50   got into gear he pulled it around as [TS]

00:52:54   though he was gonna load up his [TS]

00:52:56   extension cord and he needed to find his [TS]

00:52:59   weed whacker or something you know like [TS]

00:53:02   he was like they're so you know I'm [TS]

00:53:14   time to go [TS]

00:53:15   something there was some kind of [TS]

00:53:16   experience there was something i don't [TS]

00:54:50   staying with mom was a prize that I had [TS]

00:54:53   to earn I had to re-learn and I was [TS]

00:55:12   spending the night in the guest room but [TS]

00:55:15   it was like a it was it was a little bit [TS]

00:55:18   of a I never fully read I never fully [TS]

00:55:25   read joined that room for that house for [TS]

00:55:31   like three more years I never really put [TS]

00:55:34   my paintings back up on the wall [TS]

00:55:36   I never really it was still a little bit [TS]

00:55:41   of the guest room until I graduate from [TS]

00:55:45   high school and moved out [TS]

00:55:48   and for the first time rollin right this [TS]

00:55:54   moment I have no idea how I got on that [TS]

00:55:56   topic haha and all of our time together [TS]

00:55:59   you're right you're pivoting you're red [TS]

00:56:01   you're pivoting from Gary in the van [TS]

00:56:03   oh right so what you but your mom I mean [TS]

00:56:06   you know just a close you helped her fix [TS]

00:56:08   up her house I mean but this is what I'm [TS]

00:56:10   saying I feel like Gary moved the van [TS]

00:56:12   the van is in a new position now but it [TS]

00:56:16   is in a position that is sort of pointed [TS]

00:56:18   out the driveway instead of tucked [TS]

00:56:22   safely behind the hedge and so even if [TS]

00:56:25   Gary lives there for two more years he's [TS]

00:56:28   never he's it bc he's going to show up [TS]

00:56:31   there he's going to see the van [TS]

00:56:33   positioned its new position and he's [TS]

00:56:35   never gonna feel a hundred percent [TS]

00:56:37   oh because you're his paintings were off [TS]

00:56:39   the wall his paintings are off the wall [TS]

00:56:41   van is divided the van is closer [TS]

00:56:44   potentially closer to moving than it was [TS]

00:56:46   before right and so he's in a he is he's [TS]

00:56:49   changed his superposition 21 of like [TS]

00:56:54   motion i had a prediction you know [TS]

00:56:58   what's gonna happen i think about why [TS]

00:57:01   you step pick my daughter up from her [TS]

00:57:04   preschool we would walk the same route [TS]

00:57:06   every day to walk from her school to the [TS]

00:57:08   train to go home and every day every day [TS]

00:57:11   you go to walk and we started noticing [TS]

00:57:14   you know i can kinda can't help but [TS]

00:57:16   notice uh it's January some people start [TS]

00:57:20   sentries on the street [TS]

00:57:22   februari sometimes you see a tree or two [TS]

00:57:25   on the street there was one house we [TS]

00:57:27   passed every day and became a running [TS]

00:57:28   joke i thought was funny and cheated but [TS]

00:57:30   everyday into march into april i would [TS]

00:57:33   say do you think the trees gonna be [TS]

00:57:34   there today [TS]

00:57:35   mhm and and she would say usually yeah i [TS]

00:57:39   think i'll still be there and then one [TS]

00:57:41   day the tree was gonna we never find out [TS]

00:57:42   find out why was there until spring time [TS]

00:57:44   what's gonna happen with the van well [TS]

00:57:46   let's see that's the thing though this [TS]

00:57:47   is the thing about inertia the thing [TS]

00:57:49   about you know momentum the the inertia [TS]

00:57:52   is on the side of Gary's van until it [TS]

00:57:55   moves and then I i think it's going to [TS]

00:57:57   disappear you're never going to know why [TS]

00:57:58   unless you ask [TS]

00:57:59   I think it's gonna be I think it's meant [TS]

00:58:00   to be a mystery [TS]

00:58:01   well so what one of one day I was [TS]

00:58:03   talking to gary and what one of the [TS]

00:58:05   amazing things about Gary of course is [TS]

00:58:07   that you can have a you can have [TS]

00:58:08   multiple conversations with him and he [TS]

00:58:10   has no recollection of ever having met [TS]

00:58:13   you before from one I mean you know he's [TS]

00:58:17   been living across the street for me now [TS]

00:58:49   up in that neighborhood who grew up [TS]

00:58:52   three blocks away the native son [TS]

00:58:55   so when I found that out I was I was [TS]

00:59:00   dismayed because it can only mean that [TS]

00:59:02   carry is Gary may never go away hearing [TS]

00:59:07   remove his fan around that front yard [TS]

01:01:02   maybe i might even be able to wear one [TS]

01:01:03   of those boy belts but anyway i'm [TS]

01:01:06   flipping through and flipping through [TS]

01:01:07   and then I find a belt and I'm like you [TS]

01:01:10   know you just you get used to in thrift [TS]

01:01:11   stores you can get that the tips of your [TS]

01:01:13   fingers kind of can feel when something [TS]

01:01:15   is of a different grade ever make you [TS]

01:01:18   flip through the shirts or like garbage [TS]

01:01:20   garbage garbage and then you touch up [TS]

01:01:21   fabric and you're like that's a nice [TS]

01:01:23   fabric and that's kind of when I pull [TS]

01:01:26   the shirt a little bit to look at look [TS]

01:01:29   at it more closely [TS]

01:01:30   like I don't want to I don't want to [TS]

01:01:31   wear a shirt that I don't like the feel [TS]

01:01:33   of it so a lot of lot of times I just I [TS]

01:01:35   just running my fingers over stuff like [TS]

01:01:36   yet yet yet yet [TS]

01:01:38   and then you find something so I'm [TS]

01:01:40   flipping through these belts there's [TS]

01:01:42   probably 300 belts you know and I touch [TS]

01:01:47   something I'm like that's a different [TS]

01:01:48   feel and I pull this belltown and I'm [TS]

01:01:52   like oh it's you know it's kind of soft [TS]

01:01:53   and then I look at it it's like the [TS]

01:01:55   front of the belt is alligator like [TS]

01:01:58   that's an interesting thing so I pull [TS]

01:02:00   the thing off and I and I put it on and [TS]

01:02:03   it fits me like all right so I like the [TS]

01:02:07   feel it fits me it's kind of I've never [TS]

01:02:10   I've never owned an alligator belt [TS]

01:02:12   because my standard for belts has always [TS]

01:02:16   been like hippie big buckle right like [TS]

01:02:21   rock-and-roll belt i got a lot of [TS]

01:02:24   rock-and-roll belt now I now I want a [TS]

01:02:28   nice belt [TS]

01:02:29   all of a sudden I never had a nice belt [TS]

01:02:33   so look at this thing i turn the belt / [TS]

01:02:35   it's got all these different stamps any [TS]

01:02:38   impressions on the back but tell all [TS]

01:02:41   this information about it which seems [TS]

01:02:45   promising right [TS]

01:02:47   the more information that an item has on [TS]

01:02:49   it the more you are able to research it [TS]

01:02:51   so I take out my phone and I start [TS]

01:02:54   putting in all this data from the back [TS]

01:02:56   of this belt [TS]

01:02:57   turns out it's an eight-hundred-dollar [TS]

01:02:59   alligator belt Wow [TS]

01:03:01   and it was only are they notes on the [TS]

01:03:03   sourcing well it's like the name of so a [TS]

01:03:06   lot of belts you just you look at them [TS]

01:03:07   they have no information on them and [TS]

01:03:09   then the first piece of information that [TS]

01:03:11   you'll find on a belt is this is the [TS]

01:03:12   size so a lot of belts just have the [TS]

01:03:15   size stamped on it uh-huh and then [TS]

01:03:17   you'll have you know if if a company is [TS]

01:03:19   making a belt and they think highly [TS]

01:03:21   enough of themselves that they'll put [TS]

01:03:23   their name on the belt then that's a [TS]

01:03:25   step up and you'll get the you know [TS]

01:03:27   you'll get those belts that are like I [TS]

01:03:29   don't know [TS]

01:03:30   dolce & gabbana or something they put [TS]

01:03:32   their name on it but this was a belt [TS]

01:03:35   that had like like a cursive stamp [TS]

01:03:37   that's in hand made in America and then [TS]

01:03:40   it had you know the name of the [TS]

01:03:42   alligator and had all this stuff and it [TS]

01:03:44   was all it wasn't think it was all like [TS]

01:03:46   embossed was like well let's let's [TS]

01:03:49   research this so I so I find out it's [TS]

01:03:51   this very expensive built now I've [TS]

01:03:54   already been through three that the [TS]

01:03:56   process of like deciding that I like the [TS]

01:03:58   feel of it figuring out it fits so now [TS]

01:04:01   I'm realizing that it is a very [TS]

01:04:02   expensive belt which ignites the [TS]

01:04:05   basically ignites the the bonfire chain [TS]

01:04:09   on top of the mountains that signal the [TS]

01:04:12   riders of rohan hand to ride to the cash [TS]

01:04:16   register and so but [TS]

01:04:22   but I'm thinking to myself like is an [TS]

01:04:25   alligator belt really where I'm headed [TS]

01:04:27   in life is that is that my direction can [TS]

01:04:30   ask the digit and would it not only fit [TS]

01:04:32   you [TS]

01:04:33   it fits great you're kidding that was [TS]

01:04:35   this that's the second thing i do right [TS]

01:04:37   I I pulled it off and i put it around me [TS]

01:04:39   and I was it sounds talismanic John it's [TS]

01:04:41   not like this bell was intended for you [TS]

01:04:42   write like a sword in the stone type [TS]

01:04:44   situation right it's the wand finds you [TS]

01:04:46   Harry [TS]

01:04:47   that's right Harry yes sir i have this [TS]

01:04:49   alligator felt which communicates I mean [TS]

01:04:52   an alligator belt to me communicates [TS]

01:04:54   that you are the either the worst kind [TS]

01:04:56   of lawyer or someone who lives on a boat [TS]

01:05:01   for someone who hates alligators or [TS]

01:05:04   right it could be an alligator hunter [TS]

01:05:06   but i would think that that alligator [TS]

01:05:08   belt would be like something that you [TS]

01:05:10   had made but that's a new kind of [TS]

01:05:11   statement dealt for you so I get this [TS]

01:05:14   belt and I and I take it home I wear it [TS]

01:05:16   I where the next day and i feel i feel [TS]

01:05:19   that weird thing that you feel when you [TS]

01:05:21   are thrifty shopper and you have found a [TS]

01:05:24   little treasure you wear it around and [TS]

01:05:26   it's like it's like our daughters with [TS]

01:05:28   their mismatch socks it's that little [TS]

01:05:31   bit of like I have a secret I my belt [TS]

01:05:36   cost eight hundred dollars [TS]

01:06:44   these alligator belts are like these are [TS]

01:06:47   very expensive items they communicate to [TS]

01:06:49   somebody they communicate this is what's [TS]

01:06:52   crazy [TS]

01:06:52   whatever it is that these alligator [TS]

01:06:54   belts communicate they only communicate [TS]

01:06:57   that thing to people i will never meet [TS]

01:07:00   or that i hardly ever how it's like a [TS]

01:07:02   dumb mistake challenge coin [TS]

01:07:04   yeah right like it's going to really get [TS]

01:07:06   the influencer significance of it you [TS]

01:07:08   gotta get the significant 7 but you do [TS]

01:07:11   you know what it is you're telegraphing [TS]

01:07:11   with that I have no idea it's like I'm [TS]

01:07:13   where it's like I'm innocent girls like [TS]

01:07:15   a hanky code [TS]

01:07:16   yeah right it's a hanky code I don't [TS]

01:07:18   know where it's like a black box pinging [TS]

01:07:19   on the bottom of the South Pacific that [TS]

01:07:22   no one will ever hear [TS]

01:07:23   I'm walking around sending off these [TS]

01:07:25   powerful like this black belt message [TS]

01:07:29   the best bike belt boner and it's [TS]

01:07:35   falling on deaf ears everyone around me [TS]

01:07:37   is def to the fact that you can even [TS]

01:07:40   communicate something like this with a [TS]

01:07:42   belt i'm gonna guess that the first one [TS]

01:07:44   of the well I who knows like what order [TS]

01:07:46   these things going but I bet one of the [TS]

01:07:47   first things is when you slip one of [TS]

01:07:48   these on you suddenly start seeing more [TS]

01:07:50   of this kind of belt [TS]

01:07:52   ok it's so mean you need about to see [TS]

01:07:55   the belt it's like when you're playing [TS]

01:07:56   slugbug who and all of a sudden their [TS]

01:08:00   books with your bugs everywhere [TS]

01:08:01   yeah exactly right it's a good [TS]

01:08:03   availability heuristic with belts so I [TS]

01:08:06   need the belt to see the belt right now [TS]

01:08:09   i'm going to start seeing the belt then [TS]

01:08:11   why do it now you're in a year in a [TS]

01:08:12   multiverse now my friend like where did [TS]
