00:00:29   social network and that troubles me you [TS]

00:00:32   know every time i log onto my computer [TS]

00:00:37   status report on there from Brett [TS]

00:00:39   terpstra oh yeah uh I don't know why [TS]

00:00:53   mostly everybody like me angrily [TS]

00:00:55   announcing to please not bother them [TS]

00:00:57   because they're on skype [TS]

00:00:58   yeah or yeah it's exactly it's like I'm [TS]

00:01:00   if I'm here I'm eating breakfast [TS]

00:01:04   birthday [TS]

00:01:05   oh yeah yeah no I don't want to have [TS]

00:01:07   another social network [TS]

00:01:09   I really don't i don't want to have the [TS]

00:01:11   ones i have oh I know and this is what I [TS]

00:01:13   I feel particularly unplug from reality [TS]

00:01:17   because I've for years I've used skype [TS]

00:01:20   if you look at the total number of hours [TS]

00:01:22   well over ninety five percent have been [TS]

00:01:24   for exactly one thing which is rewarding [TS]

00:01:25   podcast with other people and then very [TS]

00:01:28   occasionally like especially somebody [TS]

00:01:30   like Australia or something must have a [TS]

00:01:33   phone call it's easier and cheaper is [TS]

00:01:35   correct I would never I would never [TS]

00:01:37   think of skype is a phone in my hand and [TS]

00:01:40   I would certainly never think of it you [TS]

00:01:41   know as i get the occasional invitation [TS]

00:01:43   to give you get this you get random [TS]

00:01:46   people going like hey let me access you [TS]

00:01:48   on skype like why would I do that [TS]

00:01:50   it's like somebody coming up to your [TS]

00:01:53   during dinnertime knock on the screen [TS]

00:01:55   door and make a gesture like they're [TS]

00:01:57   holding a key movie and I just get a [TS]

00:01:59   button that if we give me a quick tup [TS]

00:02:03   think you know we don't be a dick if I [TS]

00:02:07   was living in a post-apocalyptic [TS]

00:02:09   landscape if and i can and i came over i [TS]

00:02:13   came over a rise in a meadow and I saw [TS]

00:02:16   you across on an opposite Hill then you [TS]

00:02:19   started waving to me [TS]

00:02:21   i would i would turn and walk down the [TS]

00:02:25   other side of the hill and pretend I had [TS]

00:02:26   not seen you might be regular uh-huh [TS]

00:02:29   no not you know you I would wave at [TS]

00:02:32   least a little a given yeah that's going [TS]

00:02:39   then why did you say that don't say that [TS]

00:02:49   what are the reasons I'm gonna get a lot [TS]

00:02:50   of angry hate mail from from from people [TS]

00:03:00   correctly I don't want to get into it [TS]

00:03:02   John ok Boyle step 0 we should never [TS]

00:03:05   talk about computers but the other [TS]

00:03:07   problem is that that's a very very very [TS]

00:03:10   very old operating system that's [TS]

00:03:13   probably not getting security of cake [TS]

00:03:15   so you basically just made some double [TS]

00:03:17   your keys and through the ihit sighs cic [TS]

00:03:20   hello you're saying you're saying that I [TS]

00:03:24   am vulnerable that people are going to [TS]

00:03:25   come into my computer I'm saying [TS]

00:03:27   somebody could give you a copy 23 of [TS]

00:03:28   threes and you never come out your that [TS]

00:03:29   vulnerable [TS]

00:03:37   well I don't know you personally like a [TS]

00:03:40   10-point 6.8 has been stable operating [TS]

00:03:44   system for me in what sense it's been [TS]

00:03:48   it's been a very in the sense yes in the [TS]

00:03:51   sense that every single time in the last [TS]

00:03:54   eight years that i have taken apples [TS]

00:03:56   advice and downloaded a new operating [TS]

00:03:58   system it has bricked whatever device it [TS]

00:04:01   it i was trying to improve and just [TS]

00:04:04   turned it into a just a flying piece of [TS]

00:04:06   shit [TS]

00:04:07   yeah just a fucking ass potato mmm yeah [TS]

00:04:10   and so I don't I don't download new [TS]

00:04:13   operating systems because they seem like [TS]

00:04:15   jokes they seem like they seem like [TS]

00:04:17   elaborate tricks that Apple is pulling [TS]

00:04:19   to make me buy a new product [TS]

00:07:53   many [TS]

00:07:54   yeah it doesn't well it does pick up [TS]

00:07:55   human voices but if there's a siren or a [TS]

00:07:58   garbage truck that's what it really [TS]

00:07:59   wants to that's what they call a [TS]

00:08:01   condenser mic condenser mics pick up a [TS]

00:08:04   lot said the guy who has a train going [TS]

00:08:05   by his house every eight minutes [TS]

00:08:07   ding-ding-ding ringing hello [TS]

00:08:10   anyway uh yeah computers you know and [TS]

00:08:13   the thing is nobody cares but the other [TS]

00:08:15   thing is you know I think it's always [TS]

00:08:16   just what's worse in some ways with the [TS]

00:08:20   phones with the all those well here's [TS]

00:08:23   why because if you're still using a [TS]

00:08:24   computer you know stuff about computers [TS]

00:08:26   probably but there are a lot of people [TS]

00:08:28   whose entry into the Apple world is [TS]

00:08:31   through an iOS device and so they went [TS]

00:08:33   to know what the heck I'll get one of [TS]

00:08:35   these 16 gigabyte iphones and and of [TS]

00:08:38   course it's you know not obviated within [TS]

00:08:40   a couple years but it's not nearly as [TS]

00:08:42   good [TS]

00:08:43   after two years when you go to install [TS]

00:08:45   the iOS update on it goes then this [TS]

00:08:48   isn't big enough you have to go [TS]

00:08:50   connected to the computer or something [TS]

00:08:52   only your photos row [TS]

00:08:55   Oh to be your photos you know the funny [TS]

00:09:00   thing is I go into I go into itunes now [TS]

00:09:02   to manage my phone here we go into [TS]

00:09:06   itunes going to manage my phone to my [TS]

00:09:07   itunes is on a computer that's running [TS]

00:09:09   10.6 phone 8 and I'm in there trying to [TS]

00:09:13   manage the phone and all the sudden it [TS]

00:09:15   didn't use to do this but you know down [TS]

00:09:16   it's got the little bar down below that [TS]

00:09:18   says like how much of your phone is used [TS]

00:09:20   for certain things [TS]

00:09:21   it's like photos were thing music [TS]

00:09:23   getting other down there everything and [TS]

00:09:25   then there's this other and it's like [TS]

00:09:27   it's like forty percent of the phone is [TS]

00:09:31   used for other you cannot access what [TS]

00:09:33   other is or tell what they differentiate [TS]

00:09:35   what other is you cannot change what [TS]

00:09:37   other is yeah and uh and so it's so [TS]

00:09:42   again it's like the diagnostic tool that [TS]

00:09:44   tells you [TS]

00:09:45   diagnostics networking that's paid you [TS]

00:09:48   click on it sligo you would you like to [TS]

00:12:39   the file they working on a minute you're [TS]

00:12:45   until they were literally invented by [TS]

00:12:46   Microsoft that's right or I mean I mean [TS]

00:12:49   maybe maybe windows were invented by you [TS]

00:12:51   some guy in a hewlett-packard lab yeah [TS]

00:12:53   but that guy is dead now [TS]

00:12:55   yes buried in a field and Microsoft just [TS]

00:13:00   saying if they got files and windows be [TS]

00:13:02   creating some unmarked grapes [TS]

00:19:01   these credit-card charges that ship [TS]

00:19:03   going to be a hundred and ninety dollars [TS]

00:19:05   a month for this service and all of [TS]

00:19:08   these are parts that I go to costco [TS]

00:19:10   probably and and radio shack and gin up [TS]

00:19:14   right and you don't have to use their [TS]

00:19:16   busted-ass apps to do it i mean there's [TS]

00:19:18   so many I mean there is a lot of like [TS]

00:19:20   you know kinda cool hipster things like [TS]

00:19:21   that we've got a camera that for that [TS]

00:19:22   purpose but you know they're pretty well [TS]

00:19:24   you can buy some pretty nice stuff you [TS]

00:19:26   pay a little bit more you host it [TS]

00:19:28   yourself you do your own thing and [TS]

00:19:29   you're not relying on there like I mean [TS]

00:19:32   when I go to visit with friends and [TS]

00:19:33   family and actually you know I gotta say [TS]

00:19:35   the comcast DVR has gotten a lot better [TS]

00:19:38   but so much of the stuff you get from [TS]

00:19:40   these companies that they want you to [TS]

00:19:41   use all the time is so fucked up looking [TS]

00:19:44   haha [TS]

00:19:44   oh-ho I ok so i mean you know i i'm not [TS]

00:19:49   an academic but if I were going to try [TS]

00:19:51   and teach some kind of a 101 modern [TS]

00:19:53   consuming course it would involve [TS]

00:19:55   basically this what you need to [TS]

00:19:57   understand this is not a bad thing not a [TS]

00:20:00   good thing is just a reality thing is [TS]

00:20:02   that every company out there wants to [TS]

00:20:04   find a way what they want what they [TS]

00:20:07   really want is to find a way to charge [TS]

00:20:09   you something every month for something [TS]

00:20:11   that cost them almost nothing to do [TS]

00:20:13   ok now that's I don't mean that as a [TS]

00:20:15   judgment but just whenever you see [TS]

00:20:16   anything and it was like hey look at [TS]

00:20:18   this you get a free samsung tablet ok [TS]

00:20:23   you're signing up for this fucking [TS]

00:20:24   xfinity package that requires no effort [TS]

00:20:27   on comcast part and now you're signed up [TS]

00:20:29   for a year or two of that it's just that [TS]

00:20:31   you know if you that you know it's [TS]

00:20:32   special offers all the way down [TS]

00:20:34   it's pretty much always going to end up [TS]

00:20:35   with something where you get charged [TS]

00:20:37   1995 a month in perpetuity didn't [TS]

00:20:41   realize it and cancel it [TS]

00:20:42   they're like Remora writing like an eel [TS]

00:20:45   if you have the ones but then tell the [TS]

00:20:48   Sharks a big stop on the shark and the [TS]

00:20:51   shark swimming around he's got like 40 [TS]

00:30:53   York share in the gas won anything in a [TS]

00:30:55   completely different dialect but anyway [TS]

00:30:57   the show purports to be right after [TS]

00:31:01   World War one and every single male [TS]

00:31:04   character is wearing a full Macklemore [TS]

00:31:06   and I don't have enough historical [TS]

00:31:13   haircut context to to say like in [TS]

00:31:18   birmingham in 1919 what was what was it [TS]

00:31:21   just was a town of macklemore's is that [TS]

00:31:24   where he got the haircut from mean it [TS]

00:31:25   seems a little bit on the nose from for [TS]

00:31:29   now that's the thing it in every [TS]

00:31:31   historical thing it's this is Africa [TS]

00:31:34   told me that somebody in front of mine [TS]

00:31:35   Tallahassee was like if you ever notice [TS]

00:31:36   you watching no matter how good the rest [TS]

00:31:38   of a production is there's two things [TS]

00:31:40   that always give it away almost always [TS]

00:31:43   give it away which is the makeup on the [TS]

00:31:45   women right the way in a women look [TS]

00:31:47   amazingly magazines like it's exactly [TS]

00:31:50   1963 even though it's supposed to be [TS]

00:31:52   like the Roman Empire and also the [TS]

00:31:54   haircuts the the hair I mean you know [TS]

00:31:58   even i don't know i mean i think people [TS]

00:32:00   tried harder over the years to get [TS]

00:32:01   better at that but if it used to be they [TS]

00:32:03   didn't even try that kind of surprises [TS]

00:32:05   me I you know I put that kind of a bit [TS]

00:32:07   of kind of a haircut could kind of pass [TS]

00:32:09   a little bit i think i feel like it [TS]

00:32:11   passes my main problem my disease and [TS]

00:32:14   willfully old-timey to be the Macklemore [TS]

00:32:15   the full Macklemore is willfully old [TS]

00:32:17   time to begin with right uh well it's [TS]

00:32:21   kind of a dream of the nineties is alive [TS]

00:32:23   in portland kind of approach when I [TS]

00:32:25   Macklemore himself when I saw him a [TS]

00:32:28   rocking that haircut for the first time [TS]

00:32:30   i was like huh that is that seems bold i [TS]

00:32:34   have not seen that particular I mean [TS]

00:32:36   shaved sides big pompadour i have not [TS]

00:32:39   seen that particular haircut and it's [TS]

00:32:40   been especially bold on him because he's [TS]

00:32:42   very blonde [TS]

00:32:43   now i see it everywhere every airline [TS]

00:32:46   steward who is under 35 years old has [TS]

00:32:50   that haircut now if you get on an [TS]

00:32:52   airplane and there is a male a house [TS]

00:32:56   hostess [TS]

00:32:57   yeah he will have a Macklemore haircut [TS]

00:33:00   and you see them do you see them [TS]

00:33:02   everywhere although on all the butcher's [TS]

00:33:04   too and it's very uh it's all happened [TS]

00:33:08   so fast that I feel like it was it was [TS]

00:33:12   this said it was a pregnancy that was [TS]

00:33:15   waiting in our culture we needed [TS]

00:33:18   something we needed something so that in [TS]

00:33:21   125 years from now when they do sort of [TS]

00:33:25   films and and documentaries about our [TS]

00:33:29   reenactments of the 2014 move that there [TS]

00:33:34   will be a convenient way to delineate to [TS]

00:33:37   people like oh I'm watching a scene from [TS]

00:33:39   the past i like-like-like big [TS]

00:33:41   muttonchops and anchorman [TS]

00:33:42   yeah it is to set in people like [TS]

00:33:45   visually you can tell that's all that's [TS]

00:33:46   got to be about happening 2014 [TS]

00:33:49   yeah and and people who are 25 now when [TS]

00:33:52   they're 60 years old i'll be watching [TS]

00:33:54   the show and they'll be like this is [TS]

00:33:55   supposed to be set in 2010 [TS]

00:33:57   there was nobody wore their hair like [TS]

00:33:59   that in 2010 that I start until 2014 [TS]

00:34:02   whatever it just feels like it it's just [TS]

00:34:05   that it's a delineator it's a mark d [TS]

00:34:08   marketer but the my and and frankly the [TS]

00:34:14   conformity in male fashion right now is [TS]

00:34:18   so profound and I feel like it is a [TS]

00:34:22   conformity because basically everyone is [TS]

00:34:24   dressing like me except for the tiny [TS]

00:34:27   shape is except for the tiny shoes and [TS]

00:34:31   and I when I walk around and I'm like I [TS]

00:34:33   am in that I'm in the awkward position [TS]

00:34:35   of like well I'm not going to change how [TS]

00:34:38   I dress but I now look like every single [TS]

00:34:43   fucking hipster dad in America and and [TS]

00:34:46   I've never felt that way before I never [TS]

00:34:49   felt like I looked like everybody else I [TS]

00:34:51   felt like that in [TS]

00:34:52   the early nineties like right when [TS]

00:34:54   grunge was starting to tip a little bit [TS]

00:34:56   and that was like this is what everybody [TS]

00:34:58   I know is always warn ya right i mean [TS]

00:35:01   but through the grunge era I was always [TS]

00:35:04   a little bit too preppy right but now [TS]

00:35:07   the thing about this lumbersexual [TS]

00:35:08   bullshit is that it is there's a little [TS]

00:35:11   element of prep involved right it's like [TS]

00:35:14   there's never a lot of tailoring a lot [TS]

00:35:17   of tailoring and stuff fits you know [TS]

00:35:20   tightly doesn't tightly and I don't want [TS]

00:35:24   to i do not want to walk into a cafe and [TS]

00:35:27   have every guy in the room look up at me [TS]

00:35:30   and me look at every guy in the room [TS]

00:35:32   would be like here we all are [TS]

00:35:33   yeah like that's great now able to drop [TS]

00:35:36   John Roderick in like three seconds [TS]

00:35:38   you shouldn't be should not be and the [TS]

00:35:40   things and I do not want to go the whole [TS]

00:35:42   i do not want to start having to wear a [TS]

00:35:43   purple fedora you know for lazy your age [TS]

00:35:47   that's a great way to express you unique [TS]

00:35:49   place I resist being I resist joining [TS]

00:35:52   the red hat already so so i won't but [TS]

00:35:58   but the the the problem [TS]

00:36:01   the main problem i had with peaky [TS]

00:36:02   blinders and I think this is the problem [TS]

00:36:04   i have with the entire culture is that [TS]

00:36:08   it's set in 1919 they are Macklemore [TS]

00:36:11   haircuts that's fine [TS]

00:36:13   they're driving period-appropriate cars [TS]

00:36:15   which I which i enjoy but at the at the [TS]

00:36:18   key moment of every episode when they [TS]

00:36:24   decide that they're going to go get into [TS]

00:36:26   a gang fight with the gypsies or they're [TS]

00:36:28   gonna you know take on the cops or [TS]

00:36:31   whatever all of a sudden white stripes [TS]

00:36:36   comes on and says here the nick cave and [TS]

00:36:39   the bad seeds the themes huh [TS]

00:36:40   nick cave and the bad seeds theme song [TS]

00:36:46   got used to the theme song of the wire [TS]

00:36:48   whatever like okay fine [TS]

00:36:51   right like fuck you don't use the garden [TS]

00:36:55   you know that the theme song to the wire [TS]

00:36:59   was just like all the guy that makes [TS]

00:37:00   this TV show likes this guy okay [TS]

00:37:02   no Tom Waits is making some dough every [TS]

00:37:04   season it's a different artist turns out [TS]

00:37:05   every season it's a different artist but [TS]

00:37:07   I'm boys yeah but no one [TS]

00:37:09   none of the characters in the show or [TS]

00:37:12   the or is it like the theme song has [TS]

00:37:15   absolutely nothing to do with the world [TS]

00:37:17   of the show right yeah yeah nobody and [TS]

00:37:21   that shows over table TV thing because [TS]

00:37:23   there's something about a certain kind [TS]

00:37:25   of gritty old-timey song like like red [TS]

00:37:28   right hand or like down the hole or like [TS]

00:37:31   I think I think you're very influential [TS]

00:37:33   one was dead wood who you know you're [TS]

00:37:37   not and I was furious at deadwood for [TS]

00:37:40   the music precisely for the music [TS]

00:37:42   because the deadwood was like it's not [TS]

00:37:44   like demoed on a bluegrass keyboard it [TS]

00:41:15   netflix even the hairs the thing that [TS]

00:41:18   lets you watch Netflix in their netflix [TS]

00:41:19   ok easy enough [TS]

00:41:21   the thing that I hate everything about [TS]

00:41:23   hulu plus pretty much except for how [TS]

00:41:25   perfectly it encapsulates the complexity [TS]

00:41:27   of the media landscape right now which [TS]

00:41:29   is that like it's the only place where [TS]

00:41:31   if your cord cutter it's the only place [TS]

00:41:33   that you can legally get recent stuff [TS]

00:41:36   without having to like buy it was easy [TS]

00:41:37   to see on itunes you know it you know [TS]

00:41:40   how the thing is I really kills me to [TS]

00:41:42   spend 2 99 on an episode of project [TS]

00:41:44   runway they were going to watch once but [TS]

00:41:46   we've got you know depending on what you [TS]

00:41:48   got you know everybody's got in [TS]

00:41:49   different places but hulu plus it's an [TS]

00:41:50   interesting bananas however much it [TS]

00:41:51   costs like whatever 67 bucks a month but [TS]

00:41:53   still got fucking commercials it costs [TS]

00:41:56   seven bucks a month i think Santa Claus [TS]

00:41:58   commercials they just they just stuck [TS]

00:42:00   another fucking to use to you your value [TS]

00:42:04   a deal [TS]

00:42:05   oh it's so annoying i'm almost sounds [TS]

00:42:07   like you're not watching too much [TS]

00:42:08   because you would definitely notice it [TS]

00:42:09   because then it's a kind of advertising [TS]

00:42:11   that I find particularly annoying which [TS]

00:42:13   is advertising where you know it might [TS]

00:42:16   be making some money at scale but it's [TS]

00:42:18   mostly there because they hate you [TS]

00:42:21   there's a certain kind of advertisement [TS]

00:42:22   trying to punish you right to continue [TS]

00:42:25   to first first principles Clarice let's [TS]

00:42:28   go back to wear this all starts they [TS]

00:42:29   want you to pay a little bit of money [TS]

00:42:30   for something that's extremely easy so [TS]

00:42:32   in an ideal world you by cable like a [TS]

00:42:34   gentleman and then I guess you can skip [TS]

00:42:36   the commercials with your TV or whatever [TS]

00:42:37   in this case they're going to fuck you [TS]

00:42:39   you think you can get by without [TS]

00:42:41   watching commercials forget about it [TS]

00:42:43   you're going to pay for this and you're [TS]

00:42:44   gonna watch commercials like that Johnny [TS]

00:42:45   you ready for this [TS]

00:42:54   well there's a lot of at least okay no I [TS]

00:42:57   think that hulu has gotten better [TS]

00:42:58   inventory but there's a lot of that [TS]

00:43:00   place [TS]

00:43:01   yes you can't tailor it to your [TS]

00:43:03   commercial preferences [TS]

00:43:05   I like you care about some other [TS]

00:43:06   channels I'm not sure we had who for a [TS]

00:43:08   while love it was not mine [TS]

00:43:10   that was her bath well not mine we had [TS]

00:43:12   enough fun things like you know what I [TS]

00:43:13   just can't have this in the house [TS]

00:43:14   anymore it just makes me too angry to [TS]

00:43:15   pay for this and then have to watch what [TS]

00:43:17   we in the business call run of network [TS]

00:43:19   commercials [TS]

00:43:19   they're cheap Phil ads they just did a [TS]

00:43:22   dubious big backhoe pushes a bunch of [TS]

00:43:25   geico as in 15 minutes fuck you [TS]

00:43:28   and there's some like crackle these [TS]

00:43:29   stations that go out the old TV shows [TS]

00:43:34   just like just like you know what this [TS]

00:43:37   is really just here to slow you down and [TS]

00:43:39   remind you that you're a cheapskate its [TS]

00:43:41   punishment advertising mhm yeah well [TS]

00:43:44   yeah so but but is hulu trying to get [TS]

00:43:46   you to upgrade to a version of hulu that [TS]

00:43:48   costs more that doesn't have ads there [TS]

00:43:51   is no version of that to my knowledge my [TS]

00:43:52   god so it's really and it's giant [TS]

00:43:54   punishment so imagine imagine if you [TS]

00:43:56   said you know netflix is pretty cool how [TS]

00:43:57   do you fuck that up [TS]

00:43:59   what do people not like about netflix [TS]

00:44:00   they don't like paying for it well too [TS]

00:44:01   bad you gotta pay for what about netflix [TS]

00:44:03   so what if we had a commercial oh yeah [TS]

00:44:05   let's add commercials and how about this [TS]

00:44:06   you know sometimes you're watching [TS]

00:44:07   something on netflix you come back the [TS]

00:44:09   next time it's gone [TS]

00:44:10   what if we only had shows up for a week [TS]

00:44:12   or two or a week or three so you can go [TS]

00:44:14   and you can watch your two and a half [TS]

00:44:15   men or whatever and then it goes away [TS]

00:44:17   after a certain amount of time you have [TS]

00:44:18   a certain window you can watch it before [TS]

00:44:20   this point you can watch it after that [TS]

00:44:21   point so it is kind of the worst of many [TS]

00:44:23   many worlds [TS]

00:51:57   believe me I understand I have to live [TS]

00:51:59   with it too [TS]

00:51:59   oh you know I think I might be allergic [TS]

00:52:04   to Christmas trees that is an extremely [TS]

00:52:08   common allergy not to say you know [TS]

00:52:10   quotidian or a gauche but it's a lot of [TS]

00:52:14   people have that our John does that [TS]

00:52:15   right so what ya big time are you [TS]

00:52:17   hearing about this on other channels i [TS]

00:52:19   had a very good friend who was like the [TS]

00:52:23   thing is she loved Christmas she love [TS]

00:52:25   Christmas so much but having a live tree [TS]

00:52:28   and how something happens with the sap [TS]

00:52:30   sap I think as it basically it's when [TS]

00:52:32   you first get the tree you might be fine [TS]

00:52:34   but not the case with you but supposedly [TS]

00:52:37   turns out the longer the trees around as [TS]

00:52:39   it starts to degrade there's something [TS]

00:52:41   produced by the SAP buckets into the air [TS]

00:52:43   and some people are extremely allergic [TS]

00:52:45   to pine needle dander I went on WebMD as [TS]

00:52:49   you do and the webmd said that it was [TS]

00:52:53   mold that you weren't allergic to the [TS]

00:52:56   tree you are allergic to the mold that [TS]

00:52:57   was on the tree turns out [TS]

00:52:59   mm what do you think well you gotta die [TS]

00:53:02   i'm just guessing with your to various [TS]

00:53:04   collections I don't know why you curate [TS]

00:53:05   every piece on a touch each piece often [TS]

00:53:07   but you know you must have some baseline [TS]

00:53:09   mold in that house already seems like [TS]

00:53:11   that would have gotten already there is [TS]

00:53:13   a current of their there was there was a [TS]

00:53:15   place where the previous owners did not [TS]

00:53:17   properly caulk around the door and I got [TS]

00:53:20   a little bit of mold in a little fresh [TS]

00:53:25   Seattle coming in all the time [TS]

00:53:26   yeah and so I went out there and i [TS]

00:53:28   cocked it sealed now but i think that [TS]

00:53:30   there is some there's there's some [TS]

00:53:32   little creeping fellows in there but I [TS]

00:53:35   don't feel like my I'm allergic to my [TS]

00:53:36   house in general but there is a [TS]

00:53:38   Christmas tree in it right now is a [TS]

00:53:41   photo of that I sometimes feel like [TS]

00:53:43   you've seen the conversation with a gene [TS]

00:53:44   hackman where he's that he's the [TS]

00:53:47   spoilers but he's an eavesdropping [TS]

00:53:50   expertise that I guess institutions [TS]

00:53:52   tearing his whole house apartment to [TS]

00:53:54   find turn up the floor as me when I [TS]

00:53:56   discover anything in my house whether [TS]

00:53:58   it's a leak [TS]

00:53:59   whether it's a draft whether it's [TS]

00:54:00   whatever like once they discover one [TS]

00:54:02   draft suddenly I'm like lord of the [TS]

00:54:04   drafts and like I'm finding through the [TS]

00:54:06   entire houses drafts and that's when I [TS]

00:54:08   really realized how Ricki the whole [TS]

00:54:09   places where you'll notice that you can [TS]

00:54:12   go years and years and years without [TS]

00:54:13   noticing something and then once you [TS]

00:54:14   start noticing a little bit it's like [TS]

00:54:15   all you see that is so so true [TS]

00:54:20   honestly that happen to you well yeah I [TS]

00:54:24   mean I go years and years and years [TS]

00:54:25   without noticing things and then and [TS]

00:54:27   then I noticed them and then I'm like [TS]

00:54:30   I'm obsessed by them i hadn't had a very [TS]

00:54:34   interesting experience the other day I [TS]

00:54:36   had there was a friend over and she was [TS]

00:54:40   helping me clean my project room [TS]

00:54:45   what is that you're Kevin Spacey dungeon [TS]

00:54:48   but really I said listen I think you're [TS]

00:54:51   going to get the calculator and [TS]

00:54:54   electrical side us you were when you [TS]

00:54:57   look at twelve i did a little help and I [TS]

00:55:01   was just like listen I just need moral [TS]

00:55:02   support or something I just need to go [TS]

00:55:03   into this project room it's gotten a [TS]

00:55:05   little crazy and I need some help and [TS]

00:55:08   she was like oh this is hilarious sure [TS]

00:55:09   i'll go into your project room and help [TS]

00:55:11   you like straighten it up or whatever [TS]

00:55:13   because she's you know she's a gal she [TS]

00:55:15   feels like all straightened up a room [TS]

00:55:17   like I've got something I got a system [TS]

00:55:19   or whatever my girl well don't don't [TS]

00:55:22   apply your system here I just need you i [TS]

00:55:25   need some moral support so she comes in [TS]

00:55:26   and she's going around and she's like [TS]

00:55:29   looking in boxes and she's asking [TS]

00:55:32   questions about what she finds and after [TS]

00:55:36   a while I'm in there and I'm full of [TS]

00:55:37   anxiety because it's like I will that [TS]

00:55:39   box you can't put I know it looks like [TS]

00:55:42   it has paper in it but you can't put any [TS]

00:55:45   other paper in that box because all of [TS]

00:55:48   that paper is a kind of paper and all [TS]

00:55:52   that box looks like it's sort of like [TS]

00:55:54   having to explain the backstage passes [TS]

00:55:56   for example [TS]

00:55:57   yeah right it's like they're 75 levels [TS]

00:56:00   of order to it in in a system which [TS]

00:56:04   appears to you to have no order and and [TS]

00:56:08   yet those levels of order would never be [TS]

00:56:11   if so if I died tomorrow and somebody [TS]

00:56:13   was trying to make sense of this there [TS]

00:56:14   would be no way they could [TS]

00:56:17   one because they they would have to [TS]

00:56:19   share they would have to share too many [TS]

00:56:21   like others up some positions right so [TS]

00:56:28   she's sitting in there she's like what [TS]

00:56:30   women here why are you say why are [TS]

00:56:32   saving this and I'm like well that [TS]

00:56:33   doesn't seem like that in itself has any [TS]

00:56:35   value and even add a secondary level it [TS]

00:56:38   has no value but it relates at a [TS]

00:56:40   tertiary level to something else some [TS]

00:56:44   other thing and so because of that [TS]

00:56:47   reflected value it actually has a lot of [TS]

00:56:49   value but you insulting what you're [TS]

00:56:51   saying that even if somebody were a [TS]

00:56:53   lifetime scholar of John Roderick [TS]

00:56:55   they're still mean the steel beam [TS]

00:56:57   certain may still be certain [TS]

00:56:59   intellectual doors that are never [TS]

00:57:01   unlocked so many so many of you that [TS]

00:57:03   even if you get the basic system even if [TS]

00:57:05   you get most of the connections there [TS]

00:57:07   maybe tertiary systems in place that are [TS]

00:57:10   beyond reckoning [TS]

00:57:11   it's like you're thinking machine right [TS]

00:57:12   systems that you could get there there [TS]

00:57:14   will be something tucked in a book over [TS]

00:57:16   on this shelf and that thing has an [TS]

00:57:19   electrical connection to something that [TS]

00:57:22   is in a box on the market in a box that [TS]

00:57:27   is otherwise full of guitar picks or [TS]

00:57:29   whatever and the others have a fun way [TS]

00:57:32   for a young girl to spend your afternoon [TS]

00:57:33   there's no connective tissue between the [TS]

00:57:35   two things but they are vibrating at a [TS]

00:57:38   higher frequency between one another and [TS]

00:57:41   i am aware that I i know that i know [TS]

00:57:43   that the 1924 silver certificate is [TS]

00:57:46   tucked in the copy of of the red and the [TS]

00:57:51   black / / in the bookshelf and that that [TS]

00:57:55   somehow relates to the same freeze [TS]

00:57:57   sticker that I pulled off of the phone [TS]

00:57:59   pole in 1989 that same freeze uh you [TS]

00:58:04   know the the giant puppeteers that that [TS]

00:58:07   were against nuclear war dave free San [TS]

00:58:13   same freeze stand tall red black [TS]

00:58:17   Stendahl there you go that's beautiful [TS]

00:58:20   see this is the kind of thing that [TS]

00:58:21   that's the that's the kind of false hope [TS]

00:58:23   that makes John rhetoric scholar go down [TS]

00:58:25   the wrong path [TS]

00:58:26   yeah that's right the archivist is like [TS]

00:58:27   I think I've finally made the [TS]

00:58:29   connections like know [TS]

00:58:30   but anyways um Sam watched a couple [TS]

00:58:32   weeks up and it's at a certain point if [TS]

00:58:35   that's right he's like I study I can't [TS]

00:58:38   leave now [TS]

00:58:38   I think you've had enough Sam I finally [TS]

00:58:40   I finally i'm starting to see it i'm [TS]

00:58:41   starting to see the the gold wires [TS]

00:58:43   anyone she's sitting on the couch and a [TS]

00:58:46   certain point she looks up with a with a [TS]

00:58:50   new look on her face and she it's a it's [TS]

00:58:54   a it's a look of sympathy and she goes [TS]

00:58:57   oh I always thought that this was for me [TS]

00:59:01   at that you were such a that you had all [TS]

00:59:07   this all these systems or whatever but [TS]

00:59:09   you had to be there for the moment of [TS]

00:59:11   realization but now I'm seeing how was [TS]

00:59:14   it [TS]

00:59:15   what a terrible burden this is on you [TS]

00:59:17   and I was like what stopped talking and [TS]

00:59:20   she said you have like this you have the [TS]

00:59:25   organizational sense of someone who what [TS]

00:59:31   who has a place for everything and [TS]

00:59:33   everything in its place but every other [TS]

00:59:36   person like that in the world finds [TS]

00:59:39   freedom in throwing things away that [TS]

00:59:42   don't fit in the little portion holes [TS]

00:59:46   and then on the other and then the other [TS]

00:59:48   half of you is this person that that is [TS]

00:59:53   basically stacking used soup cans in the [TS]

00:59:55   hall and the two things are a potent [TS]

00:59:55   hall and the two things are a potent [TS]

01:00:00   to one another but you can't you [TS]

01:00:02   honestly cannot throw away a single [TS]

01:00:04   ticket stub or store or cigar foil or [TS]

01:00:08   whatever because they all have meaning [TS]

01:00:09   but they also all need to be in a [TS]

01:00:12   special place and there aren't that many [TS]

01:00:14   special places in the world [TS]

01:00:16   oh and i was like stop talking [TS]

01:00:20   we should go but it was it was it was [TS]

01:00:24   interesting because for the first time [TS]

01:00:26   this thing that I play for comedy and [TS]

01:00:29   that everybody thinks of is is being [TS]

01:00:30   like a funny quirky thing this one this [TS]

01:00:33   one person had the insight to say like [TS]

01:00:36   oh dear oh I've seen to have seen too [TS]

01:00:39   much or whatever her or or maybe not too [TS]

01:00:42   much like you know she she she [TS]

01:00:44   recognized that that this was a that [TS]

01:00:47   this was a constant cycle of of like my [TS]

01:00:54   like warms burrowing in my mind I can [TS]

01:00:59   give you one slightly reframe not [TS]

01:01:00   necessarily make you feel better but to [TS]

01:01:02   like say where I think I'm simpatico is [TS]

01:01:05   this is hitbox 0 thing you're about to [TS]

01:01:06   say guests over they have this nullified [TS]

01:01:11   here's the problem i think is admin the [TS]

01:01:15   phrase in my family's call people like [TS]

01:01:16   that string savers all the strings [TS]

01:01:18   strings favors that is cute and quaint [TS]

01:01:21   human point because you've been through [TS]

01:01:22   the depression and you know that [TS]

01:01:23   eventually you'll probably need a little [TS]

01:01:25   bit extra string why would you throw [TS]

01:01:26   that away [TS]

01:01:27   that's right if you ever gone to an old [TS]

01:01:28   person's home you know that this is the [TS]

01:01:30   thing here's here's my only reframe on [TS]

01:01:32   that and this is why I think why I'm [TS]

01:01:34   sympathetic to what you're describing [TS]

01:01:35   and why I think it's complicated [TS]

01:01:37   it'd be one thing to say yes she's [TS]

01:01:38   absolutely correct it's one thing to say [TS]

01:01:40   like okay here's this ticket stub i know [TS]

01:01:42   this is important because X it's [TS]

01:01:44   important because maybe on this one [TS]

01:01:46   level I had a good time that night maybe [TS]

01:01:47   on another level [TS]

01:01:48   it's that I have a collection of these [TS]

01:01:51   and that's a fun thing that I do I think [TS]

01:01:53   those kinds of things can become [TS]

01:01:54   overwhelming but those are the real [TS]

01:01:56   problem [TS]

01:01:57   the real problem is the stuff you save [TS]

01:01:59   when you're not really sure why you're [TS]

01:02:02   saving it but because it might be [TS]

01:02:04   important someday like somebody might [TS]

01:02:07   want this [TS]

01:02:08   this might become valuable and here's [TS]

01:02:09   the thing if you've got a lot of stuff [TS]

01:02:11   like that of unknown future proven [TS]

01:02:13   once you don't even know how to classify [TS]

01:02:15   it except to say your stuff that might [TS]

01:02:18   be important someday that isn't [TS]

01:02:19   classified but I i think that's the [TS]

01:02:21   struggle is like especially with all [TS]

01:02:23   this kid stuff we've got like our kids [TS]

01:02:24   never gonna want all this junk of hers [TS]

01:02:26   that we saved [TS]

01:02:27   I don't find myself craving that stuff [TS]

01:02:28   from my own shot but she's never gonna [TS]

01:02:29   want that I save that for me is that I [TS]

01:02:32   don't know what box that goes in yet [TS]

01:02:34   that's a story that's not being told yet [TS]

01:02:35   thanked God but i think that's the [TS]

01:02:37   complicated part is when you get a lot [TS]

01:02:38   of stuff [TS]

01:02:39   yes certainly you can find yourself [TS]

01:02:40   cleft to a lot of stuff you never meant [TS]

01:02:42   to keep but i think a lot of stuff to [TS]

01:02:44   keep it because you're not really quite [TS]

01:02:45   sure why but it seems like it might be [TS]

01:02:47   important [TS]

01:02:48   well so for instance i found me for a [TS]

01:02:53   while there a it was kind of its kind of [TS]

01:02:57   thing [TS]

01:02:58   maybe the type of thing that you would [TS]

01:02:59   find in skymall catalog from 1985 where [TS]

01:03:05   the first the first thing i found was [TS]

01:03:07   like coke cans that were actually little [TS]

01:03:10   safe [TS]

01:03:11   oh yeah I rent and get the shaving cream [TS]

01:03:14   look like you look like you can a dr [TS]

01:03:16   pepper but you take the top off and it's [TS]

01:03:18   like oh it's this little secret place [TS]

01:03:20   you can put your jewels and I was like a [TS]

01:03:22   lot that that that comports with my uh [TS]

01:03:25   thinking almost exactly i would like to [TS]

01:03:28   i would like to open the refrigerator [TS]

01:03:30   and every single item in the [TS]

01:03:33   refrigerator is actually a disguised [TS]

01:03:36   safe but they don't have to be from the [TS]

01:03:38   same era well well sure [TS]

01:03:40   ok that's right you can have a can of [TS]

01:03:42   1985 cooking their people think that [TS]

01:03:43   you're not [TS]

01:03:44   yeah well they already think I'm not and [TS]

01:03:47   it was it might not be unreasonable that [TS]

01:03:49   I would have a can of activity 5 coke in [TS]

01:03:51   my refrigerator that was legitimate coke [TS]

01:03:53   right but then there's another one [TS]

01:03:55   that's that's a safe and then it was [TS]

01:03:57   like oh and they also make then this is [TS]

01:04:01   the thing that you that anybody could [TS]

01:04:02   make which is basically an electrical [TS]

01:04:05   outlet but instead of being an actual [TS]

01:04:08   electrical outlet it's a safe gap and so [TS]

01:04:12   I started to collect these things [TS]

01:04:15   partly because I thought it was a [TS]

01:04:16   humorous like moments in in American [TS]

01:04:25   like psychological territory ago this [TS]

01:04:29   was a top there was a time when people [TS]

01:04:31   were worried like the only thing the [TS]

01:04:34   only value that it's a safe like that [TS]

01:04:36   would have is if your daughter is a [TS]

01:04:38   junkie right like if the if you really [TS]

01:04:42   if if what you're trying to protect from [TS]

01:04:44   burglars would fit into an electrical [TS]

01:04:46   outlet you don't have that much to lose [TS]

01:04:49   your right cuz you're describing a time [TS]

01:04:50   before stuff like USB drives unless you [TS]

01:04:54   have like a can of uncut diamonds and [TS]

01:04:56   some German bearer bonds [TS]

01:04:58   yeah it's mostly going to be capable of [TS]

01:05:00   putting even even German bearer bonds [TS]

01:05:01   wouldn't fit in there the only mean it's [TS]

01:05:03   basically like you can put your [TS]

01:05:04   engagement ring up here about your [TS]

01:05:06   rights to be too tall too tall [TS]

01:05:08   you can put an engagement ring and like [TS]

01:05:10   five hundred dollars in [TS]

01:05:12   one-hundred-dollar bills and a [TS]

01:05:14   Krugerrand maybe but it's before yeah i [TS]

01:05:18   mean these things are actually perfect [TS]

01:05:20   for hiding USB drives that are full of [TS]

01:05:22   all of the all of our government secrets [TS]

01:05:25   but that's not that's not what they were [TS]

01:05:27   made they were made in this earlier time [TS]

01:05:28   so i started to collect these when I [TS]

01:05:30   found them these like weird security [TS]

01:05:34   like cheapo security things and the only [TS]

01:05:38   use that they would have is yeah if you [TS]

01:05:39   had some teenage teenager who was [TS]

01:05:42   scavenging around looking for something [TS]

01:05:44   to steal out of your room but not a [TS]

01:05:46   burglar like a burglar is purple is [TS]

01:05:49   going to take your TV that's whatever [TS]

01:05:51   critics um so now I have a collection of [TS]

01:05:56   these things but i haven't installed [TS]

01:05:58   them because partly the appeal is that [TS]

01:06:01   they're in their packaging [TS]

01:06:03   oh and so you read the box and it's like [TS]

01:06:05   amazing security outlet box but it's not [TS]

01:06:11   quite beautiful enough or weird enough [TS]

01:06:14   to like build a display case and so [TS]

01:06:18   that's so weird is it look like you were [TS]

01:06:22   like you're curating garbage [TS]

01:06:24   it looked like a can of rightguard that [TS]

01:06:27   a no can I right guard but i really only [TS]

01:06:31   looking out doesn't it [TS]

01:06:32   and there's [TS]

01:06:33   here's that picture you okay i got a [TS]

01:06:35   neck pillow in there and I got a bent [TS]

01:06:37   fork it so yeah so I don't want to cut [TS]

01:06:41   its not beautiful [TS]

01:06:42   it's not something to display its [TS]

01:06:45   something that belongs in a not even a [TS]

01:06:47   spy museum but like in a you know like [TS]

01:06:50   to get a vacation home never paid me try [TS]

01:06:53   another thing you do to go like oh we [TS]

01:06:55   keep a couple hundred bucks around the [TS]

01:06:57   house right [TS]

01:06:58   yeah exactly it's like it belongs it's [TS]

01:06:59   where you keep the spare key to your [TS]

01:07:01   vacation home that's exactly what are [TS]

01:07:03   you put that code can you mix it in the [TS]

01:07:05   second refrigerator in the garage or [TS]

01:07:07   something like that some of these some [TS]

01:07:09   of those exact some of the things in my [TS]

01:07:11   collection are those fake rocks and the [TS]

01:07:15   hide-a-key it don't look like rocking [TS]

01:07:17   like rocking small and and so I've got a [TS]

01:07:19   little collection of these I'm i can't [TS]

01:07:20   display them and so they live in this [TS]

01:07:23   world where half of the time I put them [TS]

01:07:28   in some sort of like alright these are [TS]

01:07:31   practical items that i have yet to [TS]

01:07:33   install right they go over into the load [TS]

01:07:37   still like in a practical area in like [TS]

01:07:38   an honor to do list kind of area [TS]

01:07:41   well it's gonna get a chance on again [TS]

01:07:43   that's right afternoon i'm going to [TS]

01:07:44   install this outlet that doesn't work [TS]

01:07:46   it's it and so it but it's one of these [TS]

01:07:48   like are these things particles or waves [TS]

01:07:49   like depending on how i look at them [TS]

01:07:52   sometimes there are particles sometimes [TS]

01:07:54   our way to keep them in this box no I [TS]

01:07:58   can't [TS]

01:07:58   so then sometimes I move them out of the [TS]

01:08:00   practical like the the Q out of aging [TS]

01:08:03   area right and I put them back into a [TS]

01:08:06   thing like well these are these are [TS]

01:08:08   actually in these are collectibles [TS]

01:08:10   Eirias these are curios these are [TS]

01:08:13   something and so basically what they are [TS]

01:08:15   is that I'm gonna die and somebody is [TS]

01:08:18   going to come try to make sense of my [TS]

01:08:19   estate and there they like what is wrong [TS]

01:08:21   with this guy and every once in a while [TS]

01:08:24   ago about the things he has nothing of [TS]

01:08:27   value and hundreds of with the height of [TS]

01:08:29   that he never used [TS]

01:08:30   yeah I'll go put little things in them [TS]

01:08:32   just like just to as a mental [TS]

01:08:34   placeholder like I'm putting a tie tack [TS]

01:08:37   interesting as a kind of like stick it [TS]

01:08:41   note to remind myself that this is not [TS]

01:08:43   crazy [TS]

01:08:43   this is actually a practical thing up i [TS]

01:08:45   could put a hundred dollars in here [TS]

01:08:47   it's like yes you could put a hundred [TS]

01:08:49   dollars in there but that is not how we [TS]

01:08:51   do things now we are not you're not [TS]

01:08:53   trying to protect this hundred dollars [TS]

01:08:55   that you have this for a different [TS]

01:08:58   reason [TS]

01:08:59   and there are so many things in my world [TS]

01:09:02   need neither fish nor fowl as they say [TS]

01:09:04   that's right that fit into this that fit [TS]

01:09:07   into this category of like depending on [TS]

01:09:09   how I measure it it is a different that [TS]

01:09:13   the fundamental nature of the things [TS]

01:09:15   different and it never settles into one [TS]

01:09:17   category or another and so it's so [TS]

01:09:21   basically it goes in the project room [TS]

01:09:23   and it's in a box and it's floating [TS]

01:09:26   around and in also in that box is like I [TS]

01:09:29   mean I've told you that I have a [TS]

01:09:30   collection of wallets none of them I [TS]

01:09:33   never gonna use again but i cannot empty [TS]

01:09:36   them of their contents because the old [TS]

01:09:39   expired credit cards and ymca membership [TS]

01:09:41   cards and blockbuster video cards that [TS]

01:09:45   are in the wallets are our of a time [TS]

01:09:49   right [TS]

01:09:49   you'll be late breaking up the [TS]

01:09:50   collection but the problem is the [TS]

01:09:52   problem is no one is ever going to find [TS]

01:09:53   these wallets and and like a no-no [TS]

01:09:59   archaeologists is ever going to find [TS]

01:10:01   this wallet collection and be amazed by [TS]

01:10:04   the 1997 blockbuster video cards that [TS]

01:10:07   are in it the only archaeologists that [TS]

01:10:09   is interested in it or cares about it is [TS]

01:10:11   me and and the the thrust-to-weight [TS]

01:10:16   ratio of enjoyment vs anxiety is this is [TS]

01:10:23   this constant dance i'm in like I take [TS]

01:10:26   it out I look at it I go haha look at [TS]

01:10:28   blockbuster video card from 1997 and [TS]

01:10:31   then I go what is wrong with you and the [TS]

01:10:35   engaged the the entertainment that I'm [TS]

01:10:37   getting versus the like the suffering I [TS]

01:10:43   do not have whatever the gauges in a [TS]

01:10:46   person's mind that can calibrate like [TS]

01:10:49   okay this is causing me more suffer i [TS]

01:10:51   get more suffering than it is pleasure [TS]

01:10:52   like looking at the fingering this 1997 [TS]

01:10:57   blockbuster video card and feeling like [TS]

01:10:58   wow this is a thing from the past [TS]

01:11:00   test vs surveying the entire room and [TS]

01:11:05   feeling like I'm a crazy person and I am [TS]

01:11:09   surrounded by things that are emblematic [TS]

01:11:12   of craziness and if I if they were all [TS]

01:11:15   bond like what I ever would I ever lay [TS]

01:11:19   awake in bed at night and think how will [TS]

01:11:21   I ever finger a blockbuster video card [TS]

01:11:25   again like I wouldn't i would never [TS]

01:11:27   think about it again right after that my [TS]

01:11:30   friend was helping me clean the room she [TS]

01:11:31   was like why do you have all these [TS]

01:11:32   copies old copies of Vice magazine and I [TS]

01:11:35   was like well in the really early days [TS]

01:11:37   of Vice very early days it was pretty [TS]

01:11:41   interesting kind of transgressive pretty [TS]

01:11:43   funny she was like seriously seriously [TS]

01:11:47   yeah it's just like a stack of time [TS]

01:11:50   magazine's it really but you're not [TS]

01:11:53   anything to her that's probably will [TS]

01:11:55   during because you're not keeping them [TS]

01:11:56   because you could sell them in the [TS]

01:11:58   future she is that was going through her [TS]

01:11:59   mind is like that it would be like high [TS]

01:12:01   resale value or that there were you know [TS]

01:12:04   or even that there were recipes in them [TS]

01:12:07   right i mean if you keep things that [TS]

01:12:09   have recipes in them people understand [TS]

01:12:12   but if you keep things that are like [TS]

01:12:14   here's how to build a bookshelf [TS]

01:12:16   oh I don't want to throw that away [TS]

01:12:17   because that one day I might want to [TS]

01:12:18   build a bookshelf but the only reason [TS]

01:12:21   you would keep old vice magazines is if [TS]

01:12:23   you thought that the you know like hyper [TS]

01:12:26   snarky pop culture of 2004 was something [TS]

01:12:32   to cling to and I do not believe that [TS]

01:12:38   but I do have a stack of old vice [TS]

01:12:42   magazine that I that as she started to [TS]

01:12:44   move toward the garbage can I was like [TS]

01:12:46   whoa what whoa what if i wanted to take [TS]

01:12:49   some of those pictures out and put them [TS]

01:12:50   in picture frames [TS]

01:12:51   she was like I don't even know the words [TS]

01:12:54   you're using what are you talking about [TS]

01:12:57   i don't know there's good pictures in [TS]

01:13:00   there i can put them in picture frames [TS]

01:13:02   if their picture frames they would have [TS]

01:13:03   value because they would have been [TS]

01:13:06   because they would the putting them in [TS]

01:13:08   the frame [TS]

01:13:09   would be a thing that imparted value to [TS]

01:13:12   them right and I haven't done that yet [TS]

01:13:16   so they have potential energy they have [TS]

01:13:19   potential value i just have not [TS]

01:13:21   converted into kinetic value [TS]

01:13:23   yeah well it's also it's that you've you [TS]

01:13:25   mean you've done the basic step of [TS]

01:13:27   having a collection this is what [TS]

01:13:28   separates you from being like a [TS]

01:13:29   garden-variety hoarder is that you put [TS]

01:13:31   things in groups that's that's the [TS]

01:13:33   primary thing it's not a group it's not [TS]

01:13:35   a collection mi think that's really true [TS]

01:13:37   we are in this hotel we're staying at [TS]

01:13:39   the other night you know my daughter and [TS]

01:13:41   I always like to go out and explore you [TS]

01:13:43   know walk up and down the halls and [TS]

01:13:44   everything we walked by and there was a [TS]

01:13:45   reading room it was a meeting of [TS]

01:13:47   scrapbookers what you're going to say [TS]

01:13:50   furries and I was interested we looked [TS]

01:13:53   in there and and even if even this is no [TS]

01:13:56   disrespect but even in the room full of [TS]

01:13:58   people doing scrapbook [TS]

01:14:00   it looks like something from order [TS]

01:14:02   because they're real spread out and got [TS]

01:14:05   samples of different kinds of cool paper [TS]

01:14:06   to use to for your scrapbooking and [TS]

01:14:08   stuff like that so like you know if you [TS]

01:14:10   can make the step from like you know I [TS]

01:14:13   nothing it seems to be missing from your [TS]

01:14:14   system is the first step in the last [TS]

01:14:17   step all the middle steps are in great [TS]

01:14:18   shape right that there's something about [TS]

01:14:20   these steps the first time to let the [TS]

01:14:22   last step is and we all agreed it was [TS]

01:14:25   the best museum ever and the first step [TS]

01:14:28   is why would i want to put everything [TS]

01:14:32   else in between is flawless [TS]

01:14:34   no you haven't you you we think we can [TS]

01:14:36   agree i don't know if it's a technical [TS]

01:14:38   problem a time issue you have not [TS]

01:14:39   documented a lot of stuff as well as [TS]

01:14:41   you'd like when you turn it on ebay as a [TS]

01:14:43   collection but you know if you if you [TS]

01:14:45   have the presence of mind to put all [TS]

01:14:46   those certain kind of backstage passes [TS]

01:14:48   into this one cigar box I think you're [TS]

01:14:50   much further along and somebody who has [TS]

01:14:52   piles they move into bigger and bigger [TS]

01:14:53   boxes [TS]

01:16:03   sections of Ward faulty well this is so [TS]

01:16:05   sad [TS]

01:16:06   it's not funny it's not follow not it's [TS]

01:16:09   just you know I've had to deal with it [TS]

01:16:13   I find dy is like and k is like cats [TS]

01:16:16   eating your face give you one bullet [TS]

01:16:18   here on level 5 [TS]

01:16:21   ok [TS]

01:16:25   rodents insight mosquito or other insect [TS]

01:16:28   infestation and regional creators such [TS]

01:16:30   as squirrels inside the house [TS]

01:16:32   Oh kitchen and bathroom unusable due to [TS]

01:16:34   clutter occupants living and sleeping [TS]

01:16:35   outside so I think you're safe because [TS]

01:16:39   you you have that that's so sad i wanna [TS]

01:16:41   i want to just throw this whole episode [TS]

01:16:43   way that makes me so that i don't i [TS]

01:16:45   think you don't qualify on any of those [TS]

01:16:47   levels i bet you have odors but they're [TS]

01:16:49   not going you know the others i just [TS]

01:16:51   have the odor of freshly made chili but [TS]

01:16:54   the thing is I I'm sensible I do not [TS]

01:16:57   collect anything perishable i do clean [TS]

01:17:01   out the kitchen [TS]

01:17:03   I'm not a I'm not I'm not someone who is [TS]

01:17:05   like I can't throw away the sarcophagus [TS]

01:17:08   condo [TS]

01:17:09   okay here's the thing in tonight and [TS]

01:17:11   that that's not what i feel kind of bad [TS]

01:17:12   that we even did that but but because i [TS]

01:17:14   don't mean to make fun of my [TS]

01:17:15   understanding of hoarding is that when [TS]

01:17:17   it gets to it becomes a problem when you [TS]

01:17:21   can't function normally visa vie you [TS]

01:17:23   can't close and open doors [TS]

01:17:25   you can't walk through rooms like that's [TS]

01:17:27   that's the point i think what a lot of [TS]

01:17:29   people go like okay this is getting out [TS]

01:17:30   of control and of course you get more [TS]

01:17:32   and more ashamed about it you know what [TS]

01:17:33   people don't want people to know about [TS]

01:17:34   it but i think that that's when it gets [TS]

01:17:36   bad is like it starts with the path and [TS]

01:17:37   then pretty soon there's not a path and [TS]

01:17:39   that's I think when it becomes more than [TS]

01:17:41   just being cluttered but the but the [TS]

01:17:43   normal functioning this is that this is [TS]

01:17:45   the questioner this is the thing that I [TS]

01:17:47   that I struggle with because normal [TS]

01:17:50   functioning it I there are psychological [TS]

01:17:55   hallways in my mental house that I [TS]

01:18:01   cannot walk down because of the [TS]

01:18:04   newspaper that stacked in there right so [TS]

01:18:07   you've got you've gotta have you you've [TS]

01:18:09   got a visible hoarding problem where [TS]

01:18:12   there are like rodents and wallboard [TS]

01:18:14   damage but you can have that in your [TS]

01:18:17   mind house and there I don't god that's [TS]

01:18:22   so good i don't think there are rodents [TS]

01:18:24   in my mind house but there are [TS]

01:18:26   definitely newspapers tied with twine [TS]

01:18:30   and when you say like we need to get rid [TS]

01:18:35   of some of these newspapers are a fire [TS]

01:18:36   hazard I go we'll we'll all those [TS]

01:18:39   newspapers that that's going to be [TS]

01:18:41   important but you can put your hand to [TS]

01:18:43   stuff right this is what makes you so [TS]

01:18:44   interesting is like it isn't as though [TS]

01:18:46   you've gotta also the other thing i [TS]

01:18:48   think about when it's problematic is [TS]

01:18:49   like you can't find stuff you know you [TS]

01:18:52   feel like it might be here somewhere [TS]

01:18:53   this is no I don't like I know exactly [TS]

01:18:55   where everything is [TS]

01:18:57   Wow and that is that is part of what [TS]

01:18:59   feels like a like it's a it's a it's a [TS]

01:19:02   mind problem [TS]

01:19:03   somebody said to me the other day what [TS]

01:19:05   was it was a I they needed some key card [TS]

01:19:12   or some some thing some some little [TS]

01:19:17   piece of paper and I was like well [TS]

01:19:22   it's been nine months since that paper [TS]

01:19:25   arrived but I could mentally track it [TS]

01:19:30   like a like a UPS all I was like it had [TS]

01:19:33   a substantial tracking number [TS]

01:19:35   yeah and I was like that that was [TS]

01:19:36   originally on the piano then I went to [TS]

01:19:38   the kitchen table and it got put into a [TS]

01:19:41   box and taken upstairs into the project [TS]

01:19:45   room but then at a certain point that [TS]

01:19:47   box consolidated into another box and i [TS]

01:19:51   bet you it's right around the it's it's [TS]

01:19:57   it's in it's it's in the precambrian [TS]

01:19:59   layer between you know like that whole [TS]

01:20:04   series of menus I decided I was [TS]

01:20:08   collecting from from restaurants that [TS]

01:20:10   used French and appropriately haha and [TS]

01:20:14   but it's going to be it's going to [TS]

01:20:17   definitely be below all of the triple-a [TS]

01:20:21   batteries that I decided were still had [TS]

01:20:23   enough you know the half charge triple a [TS]

01:20:25   batteries and I decided still had enough [TS]

01:20:27   charge that i was going to keep them [TS]

01:20:28   together in case a technology was [TS]

01:20:30   developed you could put half discharge [TS]

01:20:33   batteries into and collect that energy [TS]

01:20:34   that's just that's just being green and [TS]

01:20:36   so I went upstairs and they were like [TS]

01:20:39   wait a minute why are you going upstairs [TS]

01:20:40   and i was like i'm pretty sure I know [TS]

01:20:42   where it is and they're like it never [TS]

01:20:43   went upstairs this piece of paper was [TS]

01:20:46   here on the piano is like no it's been [TS]

01:20:48   26 other locations what I want stairs [TS]

01:20:51   and I went into a box and put my hand on [TS]

01:20:55   the paper i reached in to the middle of [TS]

01:20:58   a stack of things in the box and pulled [TS]

01:21:00   out the thing your magic [TS]

01:21:02   well but it but but like I could be i [TS]

01:21:06   could be splitting the fucking Adam if i [TS]

01:21:10   didn't have but you know we only use [TS]

01:21:12   turns out we only use two percent of our [TS]

01:21:16   brain always that right up to 10 now [TS]

01:21:18   it's to the other the other ninety eight [TS]

01:21:21   percent is just it's just a it's just [TS]

01:21:24   cycling it's like the drive so it's a [TS]

01:21:28   like it on a dry cycle [TS]

01:21:30   anyway I don't want to be able to do [TS]

01:21:32   that I don't want to I don't want to [TS]

01:21:35   have that amount of organization in my [TS]

01:21:40   head because I do because I do feel like [TS]

01:22:47   over all that's a huge step that's a [TS]

01:22:49   huge step yeah yeah people start feeling [TS]

01:22:51   sympathy for you when they used to make [TS]

01:22:53   it was funny [TS]

01:22:54   that's not a good thing that you know [TS]

01:22:57   when you get to be a middle-aged man and [TS]

01:22:58   people start to go from thinking you're [TS]

01:23:00   funny too thinking you're sympathetic [TS]

01:23:01   that's a bad sign it starts and stuffing [TS]
