00:13:37   probably struggle with this John you're [TS]

00:13:39   very good looking your very charismatic [TS]

00:13:40   and I have to imagine that times you say [TS]

00:13:42   you say stop don't stop staring at my [TS]

00:13:44   tits and listen to my song about the [TS]

00:13:45   Space Shuttle you encounter problems we [TS]

00:13:47   have trouble keeping people's focus on [TS]

00:13:48   on the way you helped him I i think that [TS]

00:13:52   my inner ugliness suffice 'as are you [TS]

00:13:56   like you're like the Emperor the more [TS]

00:13:57   you use that dark side of the force that [TS]

00:13:59   more wrinkly get yes exactly exactly [TS]

00:14:01   well the more wrinkled the portrait of [TS]

00:14:03   me and my advocates that's true that's [TS]

00:14:06   true i think a lot of people [TS]

00:14:07   misunderstand that analogy [TS]

00:14:08   yeah I think I you know I walk around [TS]

00:14:09   walk around a unconscious [TS]

00:14:13   that's right and that was the nineties [TS]

00:14:15   respect and so I'm not aware of people [TS]

00:14:19   really a like undressing me with their I [TS]

00:14:22   that's how you know you're truly [TS]

00:14:23   handsome right when you're elle [TS]

00:14:25   macpherson and you can just you can just [TS]

00:14:26   go where some some some sweatpants a [TS]

00:14:30   juicy on the backing in you go to when [TS]

00:14:33   you buy some stuff or whatever no matter [TS]

00:14:35   how hot that would be if she didn't [TS]

00:14:38   copenhagen there's just tell McPherson [TS]

00:14:40   and some juicy sweatpants and just her [TS]

00:14:43   hair in a bomb yes I'm some copenhagen [TS]

00:14:46   yeah the best part of the official could [TS]

00:14:48   spit really well because most girls [TS]

00:14:49   can't spit you ever notice that we have [TS]

00:14:52   I ever notice that I have right there [TS]

00:14:54   was a while they're in the eighties [TS]

00:14:55   where I ran up like a clinic teaching [TS]

00:14:58   girls out of spit [TS]

00:15:00   it's useless though no no I mean you can [TS]

00:15:02   you if you if you see if you walk them [TS]

00:15:04   all the way through the process like [TS]

00:15:05   here's what you're trying to accomplish [TS]

00:15:07   you're not it's not a thing where it's [TS]

00:15:09   not doesn't happen from the lips it [TS]

00:15:11   happens from the back of the tongue [TS]

00:15:13   stretches and deeper place [TS]

00:15:14   yeah and you're trying to what you're [TS]

00:15:15   trying to do is you're trying to launch [TS]

00:15:16   this goober [TS]

00:15:19   and will you know with the idea that it [TS]

00:15:21   that it has a life of its own now it's [TS]

00:15:24   not not just sending air out with some [TS]

00:15:26   money it's not wet air now if you love [TS]

00:15:28   you love you gotta set free [TS]

00:15:29   yeah that's right you know it's not just [TS]

00:15:30   a spray of whether you are trying to [TS]

00:15:32   create a new thing [TS]

00:15:34   oh it's like it's almost like giving [TS]

00:15:36   birth cannot risk going a little bit [TS]

00:15:37   ping-pong for a minute [TS]

00:15:38   one problem let's continue but i think [TS]

00:15:41   one problem with with people learning to [TS]

00:15:42   throw especially girls because they [TS]

00:15:44   don't understand when to let go of the [TS]

00:15:46   ball [TS]

00:15:47   oh right so I mean I decided in trouble [TS]

00:15:49   with girls I was not geometric in my [TS]

00:15:51   studies but i think that around the [TS]

00:15:53   45-degree angle you want to let go [TS]

00:15:55   because you let go too early it goes up [TS]

00:15:57   in the air you get to too late it goes [TS]

00:15:58   down there's a whole lot of ways i think [TS]

00:16:00   with a loogie you need to think of 45 [TS]

00:16:02   and and on top of that I think you're [TS]

00:16:04   straight onto the point which is that [TS]

00:16:06   they don't really want to spit and if [TS]

00:16:07   you don't really want to spit you're [TS]

00:16:08   never going to get any good trajectory [TS]

00:16:09   us we own that get behind that shift [TS]

00:16:11   positions the thing about my lucky [TS]

00:16:13   clinic was that the girls that the [TS]

00:16:15   signed up for it all [TS]

00:16:17   we truly did want to spit it wasn't just [TS]

00:16:19   to be with you it wasn't a thing where [TS]

00:16:21   we're standing around a campfire and the [TS]

00:16:23   girls like yeah and I go hey let me help [TS]

00:16:25   you out [TS]

00:16:27   it's a thing where they would contact me [TS]

00:16:29   and they would say I understand that you [TS]

00:16:31   can teach girls to spirit and i would [TS]

00:16:33   say yeah if you are ready uh-huh i was [TS]

00:16:36   like it like a night class that like a [TS]

00:16:37   community college [TS]

00:16:39   well I was it was Alaska so it was the [TS]

00:16:41   Midnight Sun so there's no there's no [TS]

00:16:42   night [TS]

00:16:43   oh right technically no night you know [TS]

00:16:45   people settle people it would be what [TS]

00:16:47   you would call night here in them in [TS]

00:16:49   America but in Alaska it's like the [TS]

00:16:52   school son is in the sky you sound like [TS]

00:16:54   a native american in a commercial up [TS]

00:16:56   midnight which you can all dark but my [TS]

00:17:01   people call it maize i think the first [TS]

00:17:03   thing yet first steps here you have to [TS]

00:17:05   teach them that the loogies not to be [TS]

00:17:06   part of you anymore as you say i just [TS]

00:17:08   wanna know about wanting it you know [TS]

00:17:10   pushing out a baby you need to move on [TS]

00:17:11   with your life you want to let the [TS]

00:17:12   loogie go but the very first thing like [TS]

00:17:15   rudimentary is like how not to spit on [TS]

00:17:16   yourself waiting means it's like judo [TS]

00:17:18   for the mistake that people make is that [TS]

00:17:21   they think that spitting involves person [TS]

00:17:22   the lips I think your baby analogy is [TS]

00:17:25   perfect when you're giving birth to a [TS]

00:17:27   baby you know [TS]

00:17:27   first the lips opposite feminine you [TS]

00:17:29   want to open and let the baby be free [TS]

00:17:32   and the lips [TS]

00:17:33   although your mouth lips are the same [TS]

00:17:34   right you want to create a loogie shaped [TS]

00:17:36   hole in your mouth a loogie shaped app [TS]

00:17:40   you know a paternity and then let the [TS]

00:17:44   looky-look then let the loogie like the [TS]

00:17:47   fighter in the original Battlestar [TS]

00:17:50   Galactica let that loogie make its way [TS]

00:17:52   down the launch [TS]

00:17:54   it's a lot like a baby John the more I [TS]

00:17:56   think about it the more I'm realizing [TS]

00:17:57   you know so that we can get the thing up [TS]

00:17:59   its kind of braxton-hicks contraction [TS]

00:18:01   you know something's coming and then you [TS]

00:18:03   gotta start getting ready and like [TS]

00:18:04   singing like I don't know how to sing [TS]

00:18:05   and and but i know that when you learn [TS]

00:18:08   how to sing you learn that doesn't come [TS]

00:18:09   out of your mouth it doesn't come out [TS]

00:18:10   your throat come from somewhere much [TS]

00:18:12   deeper tonight if i understand correctly [TS]

00:18:13   you're saying it in a sense that it is [TS]

00:18:14   like having a baby it has to start much [TS]

00:18:16   earlier in a different place [TS]

00:18:18   exactly and I really feel like the mean [TS]

00:18:21   when my baby was being born I was there [TS]

00:18:23   in the hospital and I was saying good [TS]

00:18:24   for you [TS]

00:18:25   battlestar galactica launch sequence [TS]

00:18:27   battlestar galactica launch sequence and [TS]

00:18:31   it really helped everybody [TS]

00:18:33   the doctor just turns to a very quietly [TS]

00:18:34   says I work alone you know you know [TS]

00:18:38   women who are having a baby love is [TS]

00:18:41   advice [TS]

00:18:42   oh wow don't they well nothing is I I [TS]

00:18:45   mean out if there was ever a time when a [TS]

00:18:49   woman needs advice from the man its been [TS]

00:18:51   she's having a baby could actually such [TS]

00:18:53   a faggot just have a baby that's what [TS]

00:18:55   guys are for rights were there to [TS]

00:18:57   provide some hard want advice right one [TS]

00:19:03   you know and the thing is as always John [TS]

00:19:05   if I could say you're giving the gift of [TS]

00:19:06   context you help your helping people [TS]

00:19:07   understand i don't want to say what's [TS]

00:19:09   wrong with them but in some sense you're [TS]

00:19:11   helping them understand what's wrong [TS]

00:19:12   with them in terms of what they're not [TS]

00:19:14   doing correctly because you have [TS]

00:19:16   perspective that if you were pregnant [TS]

00:19:18   and having a baby you might not even [TS]

00:19:19   have much perspective that might that [TS]

00:19:21   might that my poison your well if that's [TS]

00:19:22   exactly right you're too close to it you [TS]

00:19:24   can listen to it [TS]

00:19:25   the problem with a pregnant woman is [TS]

00:19:27   that he has a baby in her right [TS]

00:19:30   yeah and through that this is the [TS]

00:19:32   problem and we resolve this problem [TS]

00:19:34   yes get the baby out right that's [TS]

00:19:37   fastest way you can [TS]

00:19:38   yeah and from the perspective of a [TS]

00:19:40   pregnant woman that might not be [TS]

00:19:41   entirely obvious i mean obviously she [TS]

00:19:43   wants to get the baby out [TS]

00:19:44   she doesn't see how simple a simple 121 [TS]

00:19:47   like she said she wants to get the baby [TS]

00:19:49   out but she probably likes getting a [TS]

00:19:50   seat on the bus [TS]

00:19:51   see see you now you're getting close now [TS]

00:19:53   you're getting closer you could not what [TS]

00:24:26   rifle through it but you want to don't [TS]

00:24:27   be so big that people can see your scope [TS]

00:24:30   yeah i mean you want to be able you want [TS]

00:24:32   to do you want to be able to defend the [TS]

00:24:33   position and so you want to write [TS]

00:24:35   amazing high ground [TS]

00:24:36   how do you do that thing like you doing [TS]

00:24:37   beretta we're not all the glass out the [TS]

00:24:39   window and it wasn't making a circle [TS]

00:24:40   with the gun know that rookie thing is a [TS]

00:24:43   tricky thing that's down here that [TS]

00:24:45   that's like some kind of its like it's [TS]

00:24:47   the thirties gangster thing where you're [TS]

00:24:49   like trying to hold the cops off or [TS]

00:24:50   something or dirt cowboy thing our stuff [TS]

00:24:52   without respect are you saying that all [TS]

00:24:53   30 gangsters things are are ineffective [TS]

00:24:56   no I think you know frankly if I will if [TS]

00:25:00   I were going around the world on a yacht [TS]

00:25:03   city if I'm not a super yeah i was going [TS]

00:25:07   around the world of his standard a [TS]

00:25:08   standard yeah well no I here's the thing [TS]

00:25:11   about a yacht [TS]

00:25:12   did you know that that that the John [TS]

00:25:14   Wayne reconditioned a navy like [TS]

00:25:18   destroyer as a as a as his personal yeah [TS]

00:25:22   i did not and that is fucking awesome [TS]

00:25:25   he he got you gotta like-a it was like [TS]

00:25:27   it was a minesweeper something like a [TS]

00:25:29   navy warship and had it remade as his [TS]

00:25:32   yacht and the thing the thing about [TS]

00:25:33   going around the world on a yacht [TS]

00:25:35   if you're going to do such a thing is [TS]

00:25:37   that the smart move is to not have it [TS]

00:25:40   look like a fancy yacht camouflage it as [TS]

00:25:43   a ocean-going tug boat and then you can [TS]

00:25:47   go to these places like the Strait of [TS]

00:25:50   Malacca where where pirates rule and [TS]

00:25:54   they do not think that you are Paul [TS]

00:25:56   Allen and in the octopus they think that [TS]

00:25:59   you are just a seafaring Seto if you're [TS]

00:26:02   a dick if your wheelhouse is unlike the [TS]

00:26:05   fourth floor of the boat and you're [TS]

00:26:07   dressed up like Commodore Schmidlapp [TS]

00:26:08   that's going to send a signal if you've [TS]

00:26:10   got a beard and there's literally stock [TS]

00:26:12   options all over the boat right now [TS]

00:26:14   you're in trouble but that's going to [TS]

00:26:15   arouse the interest of a pirate [TS]

00:26:16   if I were going around the world say for [TS]

00:26:18   instance on my ocean-going seat ugh [TS]

00:26:21   that is actually a yacht disguised as a [TS]

00:26:24   as a seat ugh i would definitely have [TS]

00:26:27   some nineteen-thirties style Thompson 45 [TS]

00:26:32   caliber submachine guns that's the only [TS]

00:26:35   put a little disk bullets on actually [TS]

00:26:37   let's make a film canister exactly and [TS]

00:26:39   here's why because that is that gun [TS]

00:26:42   internationally communicates that you [TS]

00:26:46   are our gangster that gun says that you [TS]

00:26:50   mean business more than an m16 more than [TS]

00:26:52   an ak-47 if you have a Thompson [TS]

00:26:55   submachine gun let's say you're on your [TS]

00:26:57   seat ugh and you're going through the [TS]

00:26:58   Straits of Malacca and some pirates [TS]

00:27:01   started assaulting your yacht right here [TS]

00:27:06   come the Pirates and you're driving [TS]

00:27:07   through the night you see them on the [TS]

00:27:09   radar there they don't have any lights [TS]

00:27:12   on their boats and they're coming [TS]

00:27:13   they're coming at you they're gonna [TS]

00:27:15   they're going to jump on your boat [TS]

00:27:16   they're going to take it over and then [TS]

00:27:18   you just boom you put on all the [TS]

00:27:20   spotlights and you and your and your [TS]

00:27:22   crew are standing on the back your boat [TS]

00:27:24   with Thompson submachine guns and you're [TS]

00:27:26   wearing suits and fedoras no pirate [TS]

00:27:29   would ever make a statically just see [TS]

00:27:32   the outline of the Thompson 45 caliber [TS]

00:27:35   submachine gun he all you see is the [TS]

00:27:37   shadow of that and you know businesses [TS]

00:27:38   meant that's right you're like oh bring [TS]

00:27:41   relief knowing Seto you got a 45 or [TS]

00:27:44   something well it's gonna be a big gun [TS]

00:27:46   that goes pop but you see somebody with [TS]

00:27:47   one of those things with the film [TS]

00:27:48   canister on it you're going to really [TS]

00:27:49   rethink the whole piracy situation i'm [TS]

00:27:51   gonna leave a lot of Malacca is that [TS]

00:27:53   what it's called The Straits of Malacca [TS]

00:27:54   Straits of Malacca ok it's hard to [TS]

00:27:56   navigate in a seagoing tug no no they're [TS]

00:27:58   quite easy to to navigate but uh but [TS]

00:28:02   it's a it's a it's one of these places [TS]

00:28:06   in the world where all the boats have to [TS]

00:28:09   go because it's the it's the only way [TS]

00:28:13   through the Brian like DMV it's like you [TS]

00:28:16   leave Singapore and you have to go [TS]

00:28:18   through this you have to go through this [TS]

00:28:21   narrow strait on your way to the indian [TS]

00:28:23   ocean and it's kind of late it's like [TS]

00:28:24   the Panama Canal except it's a natural [TS]

00:28:26   waterways [TS]

00:28:27   oh it's like it's the Golden Gate like [TS]

00:28:29   this the only way through is that [TS]

00:28:31   exact so all the boats have to go [TS]

00:28:32   through this place and the Pirates that [TS]

00:28:34   live the Indonesian pirates or the [TS]

00:28:37   Malaysian pirates I think they're [TS]

00:28:38   probably Malaysians ok dad would run [TS]

00:28:42   into the rocker well maybe they might be [TS]

00:28:44   indonesian stew in fact i ventured there [TS]

00:28:45   are Indonesian and Malaysian pirates [TS]

00:28:47   working they got started a lot of that [TS]

00:28:48   to bangalore now but but they they wait [TS]

00:28:51   there in the night and you you run your [TS]

00:28:54   boat through there and then a and you [TS]

00:28:56   are you are to use a landlubber term [TS]

00:28:58   like a sitting duck [TS]

00:29:00   well if you are not if you are not ever [TS]

00:29:04   vigilant [TS]

00:29:05   ok there are great there are some great [TS]

00:29:06   stories of people in big boats where [TS]

00:29:09   they're looking at the another watching [TS]

00:29:11   the radar and they see that this [TS]

00:29:12   flotilla of pirate [TS]

00:29:15   I you know like this ragtag fugitive [TS]

00:29:18   fleet of pirate boats are coming out of [TS]

00:29:22   the night and they see him on the radar [TS]

00:29:23   and they like gunned it and the Pirates [TS]

00:29:26   chase them and it's like you can't see [TS]

00:29:29   the pirate ships because there there [TS]

00:29:31   there it's all dark but they're running [TS]

00:29:35   from these little dots on their radar [TS]

00:29:36   screen and sometimes they sometimes they [TS]

00:29:38   outrun the Pirates sometimes they don't [TS]

00:29:41   what you want like some kind of rush [TS]

00:29:42   hour or rush out of style like like [TS]

00:29:44   depth little depth charges which you [TS]

00:29:46   want to have some kind of bombs that you [TS]

00:29:48   could you leave behind a little present [TS]

00:29:49   for those guys is that even a good [TS]

00:29:51   defensive tactic is if you can assume [TS]

00:29:53   they're going to make a straight line [TS]

00:29:54   toward your boat quickly I i think i [TS]

00:29:58   think that you there's there's too great [TS]

00:30:00   a risk that you're putting depth charges [TS]

00:30:02   out there putting mines in the water and [TS]

00:30:04   the pirates are going to miss him and [TS]

00:30:05   then the next person you know then looks [TS]

00:30:07   like a boat full of orphans comes along [TS]

00:30:09   and hits the month [TS]

00:30:10   yeah for me personally since I i [TS]

00:30:13   thrilled to the to the battle i would I [TS]

00:30:16   i think the Thompson submachine guns and [TS]

00:30:18   then maybe a box of grenades how that [TS]

00:30:21   gives you flexibility in your hand and [TS]

00:30:23   you you're a man who if I could say your [TS]

00:30:25   man who prefers personal war for you [TS]

00:30:27   don't like this pussy should have hit [TS]

00:30:28   people with the screen you like the idea [TS]

00:30:29   of seeing have seen the grenade [TS]

00:30:31   literally blow them apart right so as [TS]

00:30:32   the boat comes because they're the thing [TS]

00:30:34   about a pirate is he had his boat has to [TS]

00:30:36   touch your boat at some point right [TS]

00:30:38   right the pirate getting 10 feet from [TS]

00:30:40   your boat is no good for a pirate he has [TS]

00:30:42   to get his boat touch [TS]

00:30:44   your boat so he can make the leap right [TS]

00:30:47   yes and at that point if you're hiding [TS]

00:30:49   over the gunwale with your Thompson [TS]

00:30:51   submachine gun and you lob a grenade [TS]

00:30:53   into his boat you can you can throw a [TS]

00:30:56   grenade 10 feet and he's 10 feet away [TS]

00:30:59   and he's like totally 10 more feet and [TS]

00:31:01   you're like ha grenade boom right and [TS]

00:31:04   then haha that now tell me that that [TS]

00:31:06   isn't preferable to like oh I'm throwing [TS]

00:31:08   a mine in the water and all who but [TS]

00:31:10   worst of all you may not know if he even [TS]

00:31:12   hit your target let alone the orphans [TS]

00:31:13   could have been working this is why I [TS]

00:31:15   don't like modern fighter pilot [TS]

00:31:18   technologies that we yes absolutely [TS]

00:31:20   these guys are shooting missiles at [TS]

00:31:21   planes over the horizon middle you might [TS]

00:31:23   have said it was it was a pussy move for [TS]

00:31:24   you may send another word for something [TS]

00:31:26   a little bit of a pussy move and I feel [TS]

00:31:27   that way about about drone driving that [TS]

00:31:30   was some trance I think I'm gonna kill [TS]

00:31:32   somebody I really feel like you have to [TS]

00:31:34   be at least proximate to that person [TS]

00:31:37   it's just that it's what a gentleman [TS]

00:31:39   would do that's exactly [TS]

00:31:40   okay i have several questions here I was [TS]

00:31:41   gonna ask you I'm a silly question I [TS]

00:31:43   asked you [TS]

00:36:28   you're gonna get to what it was like to [TS]

00:36:29   fly in the good days but it's still crap [TS]

00:36:32   it's still crap just the ever experience [TS]

00:36:34   alone [TS]

00:36:34   yeah and and you're flying virgin [TS]

00:36:36   airlines and they're pumping that chris [TS]

00:36:38   cornell song with with a dr dog or [TS]

00:36:44   their public that like starts to pop oh [TS]

00:36:47   right the purple lighting applications [TS]

00:36:49   like doing that with the purple lights [TS]

00:36:51   and it so anyway it's a nightmare to get [TS]

00:36:54   on an airplane mail and I'm just [TS]

00:36:55   realizing you know that those little [TS]

00:36:58   that I was fooling myself for a long [TS]

00:37:00   time like you know what it's worth 250 [TS]

00:37:02   dollar upgrade to have two more inches [TS]

00:37:04   of legroom and now I'm realizing it's [TS]

00:37:06   not it's just it's it's just a shit [TS]

00:37:09   barge it's a shit barge full of of like [TS]

00:37:13   long pigs [TS]

00:37:15   and I just need fucking I just need to [TS]

00:37:19   recognize it it's like I'm gonna spend [TS]

00:37:21   eight hours with long pics on the ship [TS]

00:37:23   part i want the cheapest ticket again [TS]

00:37:25   but that's a long Pig I remember the [TS]

00:37:28   long pig mask and III is it is a [TS]

00:37:29   character and so using human being [TS]

00:37:32   that's good i want to go back to that [TS]

00:37:34   airlines which I just misspelled here [TS]

00:37:36   here's the other thing John is that you [TS]

00:37:38   know somebody has a little experiment [TS]

00:37:39   during all the TSA theater nonsense the [TS]

00:37:41   last few years [TS]

00:37:42   somebody made a fake ticket and was able [TS]

00:37:44   to get on a plane with it just show [TS]

00:37:46   yeah you can make you can make a fake [TS]

00:37:48   boarding pass and it's not that hard [TS]

00:37:49   what I'm saying is a man like you [TS]

00:37:51   I think knowing what you know having [TS]

00:37:52   been through what you've been through [TS]

00:37:53   having walked across Europe spend weeks [TS]

00:37:55   doing and then and then gone to that was [TS]

00:37:57   north face and it to get satisfaction [TS]

00:37:59   my thought is if you got there when it [TS]

00:38:01   was real busy we got you could walk up [TS]

00:38:03   there with basically a dumb sucker and [TS]

00:38:06   try to convince them that was a hundred [TS]

00:38:07   ninety dollar ticket i think you could [TS]

00:38:08   demand satisfaction to a level where [TS]

00:38:10   they would not it would walk you through [TS]

00:38:11   security and apologized like a gentleman [TS]

00:38:13   you know that my dad was my dad was [TS]

00:38:15   great at that a back in the day but at [TS]

00:38:18   it's just not it's just not worth [TS]

00:38:21   interacting with it's just not worth [TS]

00:38:23   interacting with the sub normals in that [TS]

00:38:25   way [TS]

00:38:25   yeah I when I walk into an airport I put [TS]

00:38:28   on a I put on a protective shield of of [TS]

00:38:32   do not touch me and I want to carry this [TS]

00:38:35   protective do not touch me shield all [TS]

00:38:37   the way to my final destiny i wish i had [TS]

00:38:39   a two sizes smaller version that's it [TS]

00:38:41   for pretty much all the time I want to I [TS]

00:38:43   want to get some kind of a suit that's [TS]

00:38:45   like I don't know it sounds kind of [TS]

00:38:47   kinky but i would like a full body [TS]

00:38:55   glistening with want to be like a dog's [TS]

00:38:56   nose [TS]

00:38:57   I want to walk places I never want to [TS]

00:39:20   super yes that's because you don't spend [TS]

00:39:23   a lot of time with Hodgman here this is [TS]

00:39:24   the type of question that he asks [TS]

00:39:25   whether you want to have the [TS]

00:39:27   conversation might join 250 morning in [TS]

00:39:29   my experience must understand John my [TS]

00:39:32   sleep my superpower [TS]

00:39:34   I think would be the power to rust god [TS]

00:39:38   damn it [TS]

00:39:42   ok your superpower would be the power to [TS]

00:39:45   rust [TS]

00:39:46   if you could just point your finger at [TS]

00:39:47   something and make it something metal [TS]

00:39:49   snake other things rust no i don't [TS]

00:39:53   personally want to rust [TS]

00:39:54   are you nervous to it well yeah there's [TS]

00:39:57   no part of me that can rust [TS]

00:39:59   okay look at the metal the metallic [TS]

00:40:00   parts of me are made of stainless steel [TS]

00:40:02   ok it's like the Midas touch except [TS]

00:40:05   you've been driving Massachusetts [TS]

00:40:06   allwinner right exactly it's like it's [TS]

00:40:09   like salt on the roads but let's say [TS]

00:40:11   somebody points are going to you you [TS]

00:40:12   point your finger and it rusts oh it's [TS]

00:40:15   pretty good you can I mean if you give [TS]

00:40:18   you the power to rust on command at a [TS]

00:40:22   distance to you could rule the world [TS]

00:40:25   well I i bet forgive me because i have [TS]

00:40:27   been spending literally every free [TS]

00:40:29   moment for the last month reading x-men [TS]

00:40:30   comics but it seems to me that if you [TS]

00:40:31   got that Thun highly enough if you went [TS]

00:40:33   if you want to meet with Professor X and [TS]

00:40:35   have some time in the Danger Room you [TS]

00:40:37   might be able to get to a point where [TS]

00:40:38   you could work it like Cyclops you don't [TS]

00:40:40   just shooting out randomly but you could [TS]

00:40:42   get it so gonna get metal in your body [TS]

00:40:43   people got metal you can make carbon [TS]

00:40:45   rust [TS]

00:40:46   I mean y showed that but you could use [TS]

00:40:48   to me that you could if you could just [TS]

00:40:49   excite the base metals and somebody's [TS]

00:40:52   body can fucking trust their insides [TS]

00:40:54   just enough to get you where you can run [TS]

00:40:55   away [TS]

00:40:56   think about it think about it we mercury [TS]

00:40:58   fish you get mercury in you [TS]

00:41:00   mm you know what okay you don't want to [TS]

00:41:02   get back and it makes no sense you don't [TS]

00:41:04   get it but only the cripples only people [TS]

00:41:06   so anybody so it always bugging you [TS]

00:41:08   you could fuck her hip hop good but [TS]

00:41:09   here's the thing i'm not super worried [TS]

00:41:11   about some person with their hands [TS]

00:41:14   causing any damage i'm worried about [TS]

00:41:16   them using a tool [TS]

00:41:18   right of some kind you feel like in [TS]

00:41:20   hand-to-hand combat you can hold around [TS]

00:41:22   yeah but if they have a tool then it [TS]

00:41:24   gives them an advantage if i do not have [TS]

00:41:25   a comparable tool tool but if they for [TS]

00:41:29   instance had a knife thrust the knife i [TS]

00:41:32   would love about plastic knife [TS]

00:41:34   see that's the thing this is what i'm [TS]

00:41:35   doing now this is what the terrorists do [TS]

00:41:37   ya plastic knives would knives but I [TS]

00:41:40   feel like if I up against somebody with [TS]

00:41:42   a wood knife i feel like i could also [TS]

00:41:46   improvising have a feeling that [TS]

00:41:47   something with they would probably trip [TS]

00:41:49   or something I think anybody who goes [TS]

00:41:50   into a fight with john robert with a win [TS]

00:41:52   tonight deserves whatever the fuck they [TS]

00:41:53   get yeah but if they're chasing a car [TS]

00:41:54   rust off the Cardinals like an iron man [TS]

00:41:57   wears down his power to use that kind of [TS]

00:41:59   the same things like the Emperor right [TS]

00:42:01   where she got a little bit you need to [TS]

00:42:02   rest in this case i would not even [TS]

00:42:04   wasting your powers on somebody with a [TS]

00:42:05   wooden knife I just beat the shit out of [TS]

00:42:07   you could be the shit out of him right [TS]

00:42:08   now because they're looking at me [TS]

00:42:09   they're thinking how is that are you [TS]

00:42:11   gonna use your rust powers here mr. guy [TS]

00:42:13   and I'd be like pow right in the know he [TS]

00:42:15   just makes me feel bad about himself [TS]

00:42:17   yeah that's just hey what's up with [TS]

00:42:18   knife nice-nice with knife would knife [TS]

00:42:22   so I think I think rest i think rusting [TS]

00:42:25   you know because my eventual goal as a [TS]

00:42:28   superhero is not to be part of a team of [TS]

00:42:32   you know do-gooders my little or as a [TS]

00:42:36   superhero is to you know is to bring [TS]

00:42:39   peace to the world I think there's a lot [TS]

00:42:41   of people start out that way Jonathan [TS]

00:42:42   messianic the super messy anyone so you [TS]

00:42:45   put on a robe and people follow your [TS]

00:43:32   Batman in a lot of ways you've got to [TS]

00:43:34   admire the guy but but but against the [TS]

00:43:36   against the rustic mater rusty what [TS]

00:43:41   rusty you would not want to get around [TS]

00:43:43   that you're resting cuz i think it will [TS]

00:43:44   be facing a lot of fucking with knives [TS]

00:43:45   that would be bad [TS]

00:43:47   yeah it could we add another thing that [TS]

00:43:48   you you would have maybe part of your so [TS]

00:43:51   if I could say and forgive me because [TS]

00:43:52   it's been all Marvel for me all the time [TS]

00:43:54   but what if you've got the rust power [TS]

00:43:55   like you've been developing that maybe [TS]

00:43:57   was it for a long time as a trouble for [TS]

00:43:59   you always let you might as touched by [TS]

00:44:00   cancer I'd be like that's great let me [TS]

00:44:03   blow let me play with your all right [TS]

00:44:05   kiss a girl with braces and that you can [TS]

00:44:06   open her mouth and you go out you're [TS]

00:44:09   like roping like I why am i killing all [TS]

00:44:11   these people why my last thing everybody [TS]

00:44:13   but the other thing is maybe part of [TS]

00:44:15   your rest ability is you also have an [TS]

00:44:17   innate sense of maybe it's not just you [TS]

00:44:20   can't be surprised but when you're aware [TS]

00:44:22   of something something threatening that [TS]

00:44:25   could be rusted getting near you i'll [TS]

00:44:27   send that metal meet you sense the metal [TS]

00:44:29   to me that's where the stress to really [TS]

00:44:30   come together and I've home did I hold [TS]

00:44:32   the power so that like for instance i [TS]

00:44:34   don't have to rush the whole gun now I [TS]

00:44:35   could just trust i can i can trust the [TS]

00:44:38   little spring on the inside of the gun [TS]

00:44:41   that would cause it can trust them you [TS]

00:44:43   can trust the muzzle just enough to blow [TS]

00:44:44   up his fucking face [TS]

00:44:46   ya see selected rust ecology and [TS]

00:44:48   conservation to bring it all together [TS]

00:44:50   the being in line the TSA line could be [TS]

00:44:52   a lot of fun when you don't when you're [TS]

00:44:54   rusty we got to get you a better name [TS]

00:44:56   Rusty's turn I don't like rest man i [TS]

00:44:58   think it sounds too old [TS]

00:44:59   ya later sounds like a bad guy that's [TS]

00:45:02   not good [TS]

00:45:03   it's got to be anything about it as I [TS]

00:45:04   think I would wear i think i would dress [TS]

00:45:06   like Tom Wolfe I'd wear white and and [TS]

00:45:12   then at the at the end of every battle [TS]

00:45:14   you know i would like to have to flick [TS]

00:45:16   little bit of rust off of my off my coat [TS]

00:45:19   whatever because that would be might [TS]

00:45:20   that be my er my community will not be [TS]

00:45:23   constantly trying to keep my jacket [TS]

00:45:24   light [TS]

00:45:25   ok so because it has to be something if [TS]

00:45:26   I know if I could just say again this is [TS]

00:45:28   your gig I would avoid DC I would go [TS]

00:45:30   Marvel because that's where the flood [TS]

00:45:31   people go with all respect and also you [TS]

00:45:34   got it helps if you have some kind of a [TS]

00:45:35   like a a is a gimmick but you got like [TS]

00:51:10   this is this is a this is insane [TS]

00:51:14   like I did the thing they obviously [TS]

00:51:15   don't know what they're doing so I took [TS]

00:51:18   these things as you do to my mom and I [TS]

00:51:23   said can you make sense of this and she [TS]

00:51:26   said I'm gonna write them a strongly [TS]

00:51:28   worded letter and she did that she goes [TS]

00:51:31   down to the mark cak she went down to [TS]

00:51:34   her Batcave at where her Butler said up [TS]

00:51:40   welcome home a stew for a computer [TS]

00:51:44   Butler and she said a strongly worded [TS]

00:51:45   letter to these people and they wrote [TS]

00:51:48   back that they wrote back to the like a [TS]

00:51:50   three-word response there like ticket is [TS]

00:51:52   cancelled it was like what [TS]

00:51:56   well yes first of all but second of all [TS]

00:51:58   how many people first of all have a mom [TS]

00:52:02   who has a Batcave how many people [TS]

00:52:05   actually write the strongly worded [TS]

00:52:06   letter a small percentage [TS]

00:52:09   yeah and and these people are just like [TS]

00:52:11   their blanket ticketing everybody [TS]

00:52:13   ah and then you know and then you get [TS]

00:52:15   into this collection process we don't [TS]

00:52:17   pay the thing [TS]

00:52:18   and your double and then finally you pay [TS]

00:52:20   it just to get him off your back [TS]

00:52:22   what a fucking racket John you need to [TS]

00:52:25   demand satisfaction and i'm trying to [TS]

00:52:27   think of a way to demand satisfaction [TS]

00:52:28   from these ticket people with John that [TS]

00:52:31   what you got was an answer but it's not [TS]

00:52:33   a solution and is far from satisfaction [TS]

00:52:35   that's right i don't get it you can get [TS]

00:52:37   an explanation i think they should have [TS]

00:52:38   been an explanation there they're [TS]

00:52:39   definitely should have been an apology [TS]

00:52:41   they're probably should have been some [TS]

00:52:42   kind of a gift for you and your mom [TS]

00:52:43   doesn't understand she could put in the [TS]

00:52:45   cave i would have accepted a gift you [TS]

00:52:47   know like a small gift like a personal [TS]

00:52:49   gift a token gift like a pen [TS]

00:52:50   mm if they had sent like a selection of [TS]

00:52:54   keels a awesome isn't something I [TS]

00:52:57   screams screams I would have accepted [TS]

00:52:59   that there was arcing free parking would [TS]

00:53:01   be nice [TS]

00:53:02   a card that gives me free parking that [TS]

00:53:04   would be nice there's a lot of gifts you [TS]

00:53:06   could give you should get to punch the [TS]

00:53:07   guy gave you the ticket not hard but [TS]

00:53:09   like you should you should have the [TS]

00:53:10   opportunity to confront your accuser [TS]

00:53:12   yeah right in the shit you should get to [TS]

00:53:13   hear them maybe you get to hold them not [TS]

00:53:15   hard but like lightly by the collar [TS]

00:53:17   because they seem to have a uniform and [TS]

00:53:18   a collar these glasses in my budget you [TS]

00:53:20   pick him up you hold them up in there [TS]

00:53:21   like your fucking Batman and you get to [TS]

00:53:23   have him give you in full sentences [TS]

00:53:25   apology that satisfies you [TS]

00:53:28   yeah i would I I thought about that i [TS]

00:53:31   thought about like wanting to stop on [TS]

00:53:32   this guy's toes but then I realized that [TS]

00:53:34   probably if I would if I were confronted [TS]

00:53:36   by the guy that gave me the ticket i [TS]

00:53:39   would see right away that he was from [TS]

00:53:40   Somalia and I would look into his eyes [TS]

00:53:43   and I would realize that he had seen [TS]

00:53:44   war-torn lands that he had been using I [TS]

00:53:49   was alive you're such a sucker you know [TS]

00:53:52   lives in Somalia and if they're not dead [TS]

00:53:54   fucking warlords and pirates planet do [TS]

00:54:36   in there and you do not pick up the [TS]

00:54:37   Somalian by his collar or not his collar [TS]

00:54:39   and demand satisfaction [TS]

00:54:40   I think your castle you're basically [TS]

00:54:42   letting the Brownshirts win i see so [TS]

00:54:44   you're saying that that that I should [TS]

00:54:46   not let someone's a refugee status from [TS]

00:54:50   a war-torn a like and are an archaic [TS]

00:54:54   African nation by obviate might need for [TS]

00:54:58   satisfaction about being ticketed [TS]

00:55:07   that you start overthinking this shit [TS]

00:55:09   you John Roderick as soon as you start [TS]

00:55:12   overthinking this and start wondering if [TS]

00:55:13   somebody from fucking Somalia you're [TS]

00:55:15   going to not only stop helping other [TS]

00:55:16   people [TS]

01:03:33   basically good newsman basically evil [TS]

01:03:34   you know communism communism and Marxism [TS]

01:03:38   ultimately depends on people making [TS]

01:03:43   sacrifices for the greater good and and [TS]

01:03:48   personal experience has shown that [TS]

01:03:51   people are very much willing to make [TS]

01:03:53   sacrifices for the greater good within [TS]

01:03:55   limited contexts but maybe the problem [TS]

01:03:59   is it's not necessarily for the good [TS]

01:04:02   backyard with a grill and then you don't [TS]

01:06:09   a boy and everything that I learned [TS]

01:06:12   about world war two as i got older i was [TS]

01:06:14   able to add to this body of knowledge [TS]

01:06:17   about it so that I can't remember a time [TS]

01:06:20   when I didn't have I didn't have an [TS]

01:06:23   understanding of the guy remember when I [TS]

01:06:26   didn't have an understanding war one I [TS]

01:06:28   had to go back and learn about World War [TS]

01:07:11   understand which end of milk right quick [TS]

01:07:13   right but she--but but you know the [TS]

01:07:14   facts now your father d serving France [TS]

01:07:16   where was he no no he was a Navy pilot [TS]

01:07:18   in the Pacific oh man that must have [TS]

01:07:20   been scary [TS]

01:07:21   well you know you're in an airplane so [TS]

01:07:23   but I mean like even before like that [TS]

01:07:25   you know they're the whispers about the [TS]

01:07:26   camps but like people people knew with [TS]

01:07:28   the Japanese were doing to people right [TS]

01:07:30   like the only they knew what happened if [TS]

01:07:32   your plane went down anyway it was not [TS]

01:07:33   gonna be pretty [TS]

01:07:34   that's why I have my father's pistol he [TS]

01:07:37   was issued a a 45 you know 1911 model 45 [TS]

01:07:43   pistol as a as a Navy pilot early in the [TS]

01:07:45   war any war in a shoulder holster and [TS]

01:07:50   and then you know later on in the war [TS]

01:07:53   the rumors started getting out that what [TS]

01:07:57   a lot of pilots were doing was they were [TS]

01:07:58   taking these 45 caliber bullets and they [TS]

01:08:00   were using their knife to etch across in [TS]

01:08:04   me in the the top of the bullet in the [TS]

01:08:08   you know in the actual bullet the lad [TS]

01:08:10   lad so that when the bullet hit it would [TS]

01:08:13   explode the you know what kind of it was [TS]

01:08:15   a like a fake dum-dum bullet the blow [TS]

01:08:17   itself would explode and do more damage [TS]

01:08:19   and the Japanese you know said that [TS]

01:08:24   thats it thats unfair that's bad that's [TS]

01:08:26   bad war-making and they they issued some [TS]

01:08:30   kind of directive where they said if we [TS]

01:08:32   capture a an American pilot and he has [TS]

01:08:35   one of these guns these forty-fives [TS]

01:08:38   we're just going to kill him right away [TS]

01:08:39   because [TS]

01:08:41   because the gun itself is unfair and so [TS]

01:08:46   they think that's a pretty high level [TS]

01:08:47   thinking yeah so they recalled that the [TS]

01:08:50   US Navy recall the 45 and they issued 38 [TS]

01:08:54   you know revolvers to all the pilots and [TS]

01:08:58   my dad being a Roderick he said that he [TS]

01:09:02   had lost his being in erotic they said [TS]

01:09:07   full-court see to it that they said oh [TS]

01:09:09   alright here's the 38 so he is so for [TS]

01:09:11   the rest of the war he carried the 45 in [TS]

01:09:13   the shoulder holster in the 38 and some [TS]

01:09:16   other holder fucking badass and then at [TS]

01:09:18   the end of the war he had to turn in his [TS]

01:09:20   that is 38 but he kept the 45 and you [TS]

01:09:24   still got that around i have it and I [TS]

01:09:25   actually took it to a gunsmith one time [TS]

01:09:27   in and they all gathered around it and [TS]

01:09:30   they were like oh my god this is amazing [TS]

01:09:31   because according to them according to [TS]

01:09:34   these guys this 1911 model was actually [TS]

01:09:38   the first model it was issued in world [TS]

01:09:41   war one when you see 1911 you don't [TS]

01:09:44   design you mean manufactured know that's [TS]

01:09:46   what it was designed by ok that's what [TS]

01:09:47   it's called but this gun was it was in [TS]

01:09:49   the first batch of them made during [TS]

01:09:52   World War one and he and and and i guess [TS]

01:09:55   the gun was made and then it sat in a in [TS]

01:09:57   a arms depot for all the interwar years [TS]

01:10:01   just SAT there on the shelf and was [TS]

01:10:03   issued to my dad in World War two [TS]

01:10:05   so this gun at seven and they're all [TS]

01:10:07   like this gun would be worth a ton of [TS]

01:10:11   money thousands and thousands of dollars [TS]

01:10:14   except sometime in the seventies my dad [TS]

01:10:16   had it reblued pinched because it was [TS]

01:10:21   like tattered or whatever he was like he [TS]

01:10:23   took it in and had a tree [TS]

01:10:24   blued and they said yeah that that [TS]

01:10:26   ruined it oh no not as a gun they said [TS]

01:10:28   it's a great gun but as a as a [TS]

01:10:31   collector's item that he had taken [TS]

01:10:33   anti-scratch that would've broken his [TS]

01:10:34   heart [TS]

01:10:35   yeah if it's still worth the time it's [TS]

01:10:36   still worth more money you know it's [TS]

01:10:38   still worth money but but it but it it's [TS]

01:10:40   exactly the antiques roadshow think if [TS]

01:10:42   he had left the original finish is a [TS]

01:10:44   cult [TS]

01:10:44   it's a cold United States pistol caliber [TS]

01:10:46   45 m1911 that's right [TS]

01:10:49   that is such a fucking cool looking gun [TS]

01:10:51   and that's a heavy heavy gun bigger well [TS]

01:10:54   we at one time [TS]

01:10:55   don't talk out of school but the ones I [TS]

01:10:56   don't come back your deck is that's such [TS]

01:10:57   an amazing story but the one time we [TS]

01:10:59   went and shot guns together [TS]

01:11:01   yeah man I you know and he's not one of [TS]

01:11:04   those doing you a 45 and I had to stop [TS]

01:11:05   at 245 245 was just too much even got [TS]

01:11:08   all the earplugs it was just the recall [TS]

01:11:10   what we call it the other reviews just [TS]

01:11:12   it was like I can't have this in my hand [TS]

01:11:13   it was too much it was so loud [TS]

01:11:15   so you never did the 44 Magnum know you [TS]

01:11:18   that you were shooting them for Eric was [TS]

01:11:20   doing great Eric was hitting everything [TS]

01:11:21   if I remember everyone's games Jonathan [TS]

01:11:23   Rothman wasn't was it was a he was a [TS]

01:11:25   Deadeye dick [TS]

01:11:26   yeah cool as we school yeah cool this is [TS]

01:11:30   a really that is so cool that you got [TS]

01:11:32   that by i don't know i mean i've spent [TS]

01:11:34   my evenings you know and again i'm a [TS]

01:11:36   wacker at this but I mean I spent my [TS]

01:11:37   evenings you know reading a lot on [TS]

01:11:39   wikipedia about something is like a all [TS]

01:11:42   the history i wish i would have known in [TS]

01:11:43   high school and picking up now and just [TS]

01:11:45   the stuff toward the end I mean [TS]

01:11:47   obviously Bataan Death March being you [TS]

01:11:48   know kind of obvious apotheosis but a [TS]

01:11:50   great well-known example but it was just [TS]

01:11:53   pretty miserable what they were going to [TS]

01:11:54   american prisoners I'm just thinking [TS]

01:11:57   that like you know it would suck to be [TS]

01:11:59   captured by the germans and going to an [TS]

01:12:00   uncomfortable camp but it was probably [TS]

01:12:03   was not any andersonville whereas with [TS]

01:12:05   the Japanese were doing was just just I [TS]

01:12:08   mean inhuman is the only way to put it [TS]

01:12:10   the way that they would treat American [TS]

01:12:11   prisoners [TS]

01:12:12   what was that but you have to also i [TS]

01:12:13   think taking the context that the [TS]

01:12:15   Japanese living out there and you know [TS]

01:12:19   you know well strung across all these [TS]

01:12:22   archipelagos they had no supplies either [TS]

01:12:25   without in March that's what I had the [TS]

01:12:27   March that that was the that was the the [TS]

01:12:29   flimsy cover for it anyway [TS]

01:12:31   was that we couldn't wait ships on this [TS]

01:12:32   we already can't feed our own people [TS]

01:12:34   right no one was no one was living high [TS]

01:12:36   on the hog out there the living that [TS]

01:12:38   made the German camps in addition to the [TS]

01:12:40   mass murder with gas money Americans [TS]

01:12:45   though nobody will ok let's say let's [TS]

01:12:48   say a prisoner-of-war camp in Germany I [TS]

01:12:50   mean the German like prison guards were [TS]

01:12:55   drinking champagne French Champagne [TS]

01:12:58   French sham things on the champagne [TS]

01:13:00   region [TS]

01:13:01   yeah that's right and they were probably [TS]

01:13:04   said you know they were probably [TS]

01:13:05   probably the camp a commander [TS]

01:13:08   her was practicing his oil painting in [TS]

01:13:12   the afternoon but sitting to vote next [TS]

01:13:14   listening to partner whereas they didn't [TS]

01:13:16   really gay thing we act like you're [TS]

01:13:17   conducting that the japanese [TS]

01:13:19   prisoner-of-war camps the camp guards [TS]

01:13:22   themselves were eating roaches [TS]

01:13:24   oh yeah you're eating wrote Roach [TS]

01:13:26   sandwiches and so there wasn't like much [TS]

01:13:29   left over for them for the American but [TS]

01:13:31   i guess i'm getting at is do you have [TS]

01:13:33   you talked to someone when did you ever [TS]

01:13:35   get to talk to dad about that was he [TS]

01:13:36   aware of what he was facing if he went [TS]

01:14:31   ok but he tells all these stories about [TS]

01:14:33   like there was an anti-aircraft gun on [TS]

01:14:35   the bridge and so we flew under the [TS]

01:14:37   bridge and they could get the gun down [TS]

01:14:39   fast enough you know we flew under her [TS]

01:14:41   or I he he tells a story and I I I how [TS]

01:14:45   do you verify this there's no way to do [TS]

01:14:46   it don't you see that's fucking awesome [TS]

01:14:48   it tells the story he comes to the [TS]

01:14:51   clouds and his airplane he got thrown [TS]

01:14:52   out of college [TS]

01:14:53   he's not into pic he sees a he sees a [TS]

01:14:56   plane coming at hermes and it's coming [TS]

01:14:58   straight at him and he's looking at in [TS]

01:15:00   the distance and he's like what kind of [TS]

01:15:01   plane is that you like and it's it's [TS]

01:15:03   pointed directly at him so it's much [TS]

01:15:05   harder to tell what kind of plane it is [TS]

01:15:06   and he's looking at the plane and it's [TS]

01:15:08   coming straight at him and he's thinking [TS]

01:15:10   what is that I don't know what it is and [TS]

01:15:14   then he realizes it's a0 it's a Japanese [TS]

01:15:16   like straight at him [TS]

01:15:18   and he's flying straight it and it is [TS]

01:15:21   super maneuverable right there super [TS]

01:15:24   maneuverable my dad's plan is not right [TS]

01:15:26   and so he's looking at me done and the [TS]

01:15:28   button the batplane is not varying off [TS]

01:15:29   of course and his plan is interfering [TS]

01:15:31   off course and in his version of the [TS]

01:15:35   story of failing to know what else to do [TS]

01:15:39   he opens the side window in the cockpit [TS]

01:15:42   pulls this 45 that I have stone out [TS]

01:15:45   sticks it out the window and fires like [TS]

01:15:50   eight rounds at the at the zero and then [TS]

01:15:56   grab the stick and pulls straight up and [TS]

01:16:00   goes up into a cloud in the city have a [TS]

01:16:04   lot of stories like that never never saw [TS]

01:16:06   the plane again so he assumed that he [TS]

01:16:08   shot it down 0 didn't come after him so [TS]

01:16:12   he assumes that he shot him a scare them [TS]

01:16:14   off with his pistol [TS]

01:16:16   yeah that's what I was my they really [TS]

01:16:19   were the greatest generation they really [TS]

01:16:21   were they were the greatest greatest [TS]

01:16:23   generation the most most full of shit [TS]

01:16:25   generation but that's a bit that sort of [TS]

01:16:27   me that's the most every that time broke [TS]

01:16:29   up the most bullshit generation [TS]

01:16:31   ya know I couldn't get through the first [TS]

01:16:33   chapter of my favorite story of my data [TS]

01:16:36   he said he was you know who's landing [TS]

01:16:38   landing supplies landing ammunition and [TS]

01:16:40   and so what he would do is Atlanta that [TS]

01:16:44   the Americans would would be taking over [TS]

01:16:46   an island and then the goal is always to [TS]

01:16:49   get to the airstrip right [TS]

01:16:50   the Japanese would have an airstrip on [TS]

01:16:52   an island the Americans would invade [TS]

01:16:53   they'd be trying to get to the airstrip [TS]

01:16:55   and when they get to the airstrip they [TS]

01:16:57   would Park a jeep with an American flag [TS]

01:17:01   on it at the end of the airstrip and [TS]

01:17:03   that was the sign that that they had [TS]

01:17:05   that they had seized this the strip and [TS]

01:17:08   then my dad in in a transport with a [TS]

01:17:11   with guns and ammunition and and medical [TS]

01:17:14   supplies would land on the newly [TS]

01:17:16   captured strip they'd throw the bullets [TS]

01:17:20   out [TS]

01:17:21   load the plane up with wounded spin it [TS]

01:17:23   around and get back out there and [TS]

01:17:26   they're the fighting is going on all [TS]

01:17:27   around the strip's time [TS]

01:17:28   this thing this is a lumbering giant [TS]

01:17:31   you're not this this is a lot of phones [TS]

01:17:32   no surprisingly you know maneuverable [TS]

01:17:35   planes but it but certainly a transport [TS]

01:17:37   plane like unarmed so he's coming in on [TS]

01:17:40   final approach to this to this strip [TS]

01:17:42   where he has seen the jeep parked at the [TS]

01:17:44   end of the runway and he's he's coming [TS]

01:17:46   in coming in hot [TS]

01:17:48   full of the full of full of bullets and [TS]

01:17:52   as he touches the wheels down on the [TS]

01:17:54   airstrip he sees a guy run out of the [TS]

01:17:57   jungle jump in the jeep and peel out [TS]

01:18:02   spin around and get the hell out of [TS]

01:18:04   there and bullets start coming out of [TS]

01:18:07   everywhere and he he he's you know he's [TS]

01:18:12   hauling ass down the runway but he's [TS]

01:18:14   easy easy it is he's committed now he's [TS]

01:18:16   too far along to like pull up and and [TS]

01:18:19   take back off so he runs the plane down [TS]

01:18:22   to the end of the runway and the [TS]

01:18:23   Japanese are coming out of the jungle he [TS]

01:18:27   spins the plane around heads back down [TS]

01:18:30   the runway the other direction with the [TS]

01:18:34   with the the loadmaster in the back of [TS]

01:18:36   the plane just throwing crates of [TS]

01:18:38   bullets out the out the door just pop [TS]

01:18:41   them out trying to get trying to get the [TS]

01:18:45   plane light enough that it can get back [TS]

01:18:47   up off the ground and as they're running [TS]

01:18:49   down the running down the runway I mean [TS]

01:18:50   they get back up but they're there [TS]

01:18:52   they're just talking stuff fucking stuff [TS]

01:18:55   out any you know got off the ground and [TS]

01:18:57   made it out of their plane full of [TS]

01:18:59   bullets but it's it's completely insane [TS]

01:19:02   I i I'm anxiety with forgiving being [TS]

01:19:06   very useful in that situation I just [TS]

01:19:09   regret that I had no life to give for my [TS]

01:19:12   country I regret that I didn't have a [TS]

01:19:15   guy I sometimes forget that i did not [TS]

01:19:18   join the the army i know that that's [TS]

01:19:22   crazy i know at the time when I was 19 [TS]

01:19:26   there's nothing I was going to do less [TS]

01:19:28   than join the army right but now that [TS]

01:19:30   i'm old i look back and go well I mean [TS]

01:19:34   what the hell was I doing ya doing [TS]

01:19:36   anything that's a good way to feel [TS]

01:19:38   pretty useless but I mean the same thing [TS]

01:19:39   with Captain America he didn't he didn't [TS]

01:19:41   you know he kept trying to join four [TS]

01:19:42   different times for f every time for 44 [TS]

01:19:45   f and then they get little guy is a real [TS]

01:19:46   little guy but then they gave him that [TS]

01:19:48   formula and I'm just saying if you don't [TS]

01:19:49   want to trivialize the story that's not [TS]

01:19:51   what I do but I'm just saying if you had [TS]

01:19:53   those rust powers it could really make a [TS]

01:19:55   difference if i have the rest powers but [TS]

01:19:56   the problem with having powers is you [TS]

01:19:58   don't be you know they don't want to the [TS]

01:20:00   army they want you in the secret we [TS]

01:20:01   watching some special seek out looking [TS]

01:20:03   like a shield that you want to be out [TS]

01:20:04   there with the grunts you want to be the [TS]

01:20:06   only be out there on the frontline [TS]

01:20:07   resting things right and then and and [TS]

01:20:09   that's that's always been my problem [TS]

01:20:11   with the CIA like I know at a certain [TS]

01:20:13   point it was a certain point pretty [TS]

01:20:15   early on where the CIA was never going [TS]

01:20:18   to recruit me as it is just a an agent [TS]

01:20:21   you know what i mean when did that [TS]

01:20:23   awareness really really settle on you i [TS]

01:20:25   was by I was pretty sure even by the age [TS]

01:20:28   of 20 but I had already that i had [TS]

01:20:32   already to jeopardize my chances of [TS]

01:20:35   jumping in the CIA fundamentally [TS]

01:20:37   jeopardize that well but the thing is [TS]

01:20:39   now I still feel like the CIA could [TS]

01:20:43   recruit me but I would be an asset if [TS]

01:20:47   you know what I mean you know you could [TS]

01:20:51   still be the English guy with the bombs [TS]

01:20:53   but you might not be the one like right [TS]

01:20:56   there putting it out [TS]

01:20:57   II right you didn't have a beard yeah I [TS]

01:20:59   would I would I would have is I would [TS]

01:21:01   have I would be the one with the beard [TS]

01:21:02   and I would have a handler I would have [TS]

01:21:06   a CIA agent that was that was handling [TS]

01:21:09   me I wouldn't have I personally would [TS]

01:21:12   not have a license to kill [TS]

01:21:13   I would you know my license would would [TS]

01:21:15   would be under the umbrella of someone [TS]

01:21:18   else's license you get sub license to [TS]

01:21:20   kill [TS]

01:21:21   I get a sub license to kill and and that [TS]

01:21:23   you know that's just I mean don't get me [TS]

01:21:26   wrong I'll take it but it's but it's [TS]

01:21:28   just not as satisfying as being you know [TS]

01:21:31   a spy myself I want you all you but I [TS]

01:21:33   mean you know but you still be serving [TS]

01:21:34   you said Biddy still be doing what [TS]

01:21:36   you're good at you can always be looking [TS]

01:21:37   backward on this thing projected I could [TS]

01:21:39   be in Damascus walking down the street [TS]

01:21:40   and you know it [TS]

01:21:41   anybody suit and equipped with a sword [TS]

01:21:43   came and a big beard and when I when [TS]

01:21:48   agents came through i would potentially [TS]

01:21:50   be running a safe house or I would be [TS]

01:21:52   you would be there like I'd be able to [TS]

01:21:55   say oh sounds like it's the jackal again [TS]

01:21:58   haha my old never cease [TS]

01:22:02   I'll see I I can't tell your buddy i [TS]

01:22:04   think that would be so much cooler than [TS]

01:22:06   being in the standard CIA if you were in [TS]

01:22:08   the secondary secret CIA and you're [TS]

01:22:09   fighting the jackal in Damascus not [TS]

01:22:13   happen i'd love to work in that one of [TS]

01:22:15   those three days of the Condor offices [TS]

01:22:17   mean I wouldn't want to be killed but [TS]

01:22:18   during lunch but I i love that movie so [TS]

01:22:21   much and just that was so cool there in [TS]

01:22:23   a townhouse like doing spy stuff [TS]

01:22:25   I just thought that'd be the best thing [TS]

01:22:26   in the world you gotta wonder somewhere [TS]

01:22:28   in San Francisco there's a townhouse [TS]

01:22:29   what where people are doing spy stuff [TS]

01:22:31   I think it's everywhere we provide all [TS]

01:22:33   the time it is the thing I think it's in [TS]

01:22:35   our neighborhood will you know how many [TS]

01:22:36   of the places not just hand jobs i found [TS]

01:22:38   another one there's several handjob [TS]

01:22:39   places wrong place we all know that [TS]

01:22:40   let's take it as read [TS]

01:22:41   I just found out that the zero replace [TS]

01:22:43   it's actually it's actually mahjong for [TS]

01:22:45   money [TS]

01:22:46   really if you can pull something like [TS]

01:22:48   that off two blocks away from a police [TS]

01:22:50   station is a pretty good chance that [TS]

01:22:52   somebody's here in a bathroom fighting [TS]

01:22:53   the jackal whether it's a yogurt place [TS]

01:22:55   but you play mahjong for money and in [TS]

01:22:58   the back somewhere it's it's it's even [TS]

01:23:00   more complicated than that it's a [TS]

01:23:01   storage place for yogurt place because [TS]

01:23:07   you know what it was a yogurt place [TS]

01:23:09   that's what they'd be looking for my god [TS]

01:23:12   right there so indiscreet with that you [TS]

01:23:13   put [TS]
