00:12:51   just the thing this is true of every [TS]

00:12:53   musician you cannot pick your fans [TS]

00:12:56   I've told you this story right the first [TS]

00:12:57   time but when built to spill first [TS]

00:12:59   started playing in Seattle uh all of [TS]

00:13:02   their fan all their initial fans in the [TS]

00:13:04   very small clubs were all other [TS]

00:13:06   musicians and cool kids and go to build [TS]

00:13:10   this bill shows and it felt like oh man [TS]

00:13:11   this is a real this is a real thing it's [TS]

00:13:13   a real family you know and then I [TS]

00:13:16   remember the day I went to build this [TS]

00:13:17   bill shows they're still playing at the [TS]

00:13:19   crocodile is still 300 capacity but I [TS]

00:13:22   walk in the place is a pact and be [TS]

00:13:25   everyone in the place has a white [TS]

00:13:27   baseball cap on backwards now really and [TS]

00:13:30   I went what the fuck who added who about [TS]

00:13:33   how did these people get to see him [TS]

00:13:35   liking that duck Marsh Marsh I I don't [TS]

00:13:39   like in that at all [TS]

00:13:40   that's the thing you can you looked up [TS]

00:13:41   on stage and you can see that the band [TS]

00:13:43   their body language had changed they [TS]

00:13:45   were not facing the crowd they were not [TS]

00:13:47   they looked like they were like nervous [TS]

00:13:50   and uncomfortable and at the end of [TS]

00:13:52   every song like all around there's [TS]

00:13:54   people like wow yeah well and you know [TS]

00:13:58   of course that had never happened before [TS]

00:14:00   either and and that was my introduction [TS]

00:14:02   to this concept of you know build [TS]

00:14:05   spilled it would never have chosen these [TS]

00:14:07   people if they could they would have [TS]

00:14:08   electrocuted these people but this we [TS]

00:14:12   get this with the frat boys were their [TS]

00:14:14   fans now and they became a frat boy band [TS]

00:14:17   and there was nothing they could do [TS]

00:14:19   about it and then of course i was in [TS]

00:14:20   harvey danger the the ultimate band that [TS]

00:14:23   wanted their fans harvey danger wanted [TS]

00:14:26   their fans to be pavement fans or smith [TS]

00:14:29   and smith fans and Harvey dangers actual [TS]

00:14:32   fans were hot topic teenagers and you [TS]

00:14:36   know and people that didn't like that [TS]

00:14:38   felt Green Day was great but just not [TS]

00:14:41   sophisticated quite enough i see people [TS]

00:14:43   who go to wherever the MTV Spring Break [TS]

00:14:46   things happening and hope that they get [TS]

00:14:47   on camera [TS]

00:14:48   yeah exactly and so Harvey danger was in [TS]

00:14:51   a constant state of misery as a band not [TS]

00:14:54   because their music had changed they had [TS]

00:14:55   done anything wrong but just because [TS]

00:14:57   people chose to like them who the the [TS]

00:15:01   the band didn't admire right so I [TS]

00:15:04   learned [TS]

00:15:05   that that you cannot choose your fans [TS]

00:15:08   and if you try if you make any you know [TS]

00:15:10   if you have any emotional whole on like [TS]

00:15:13   who you want your fans to be you're just [TS]

00:15:15   going to be in misery you have to walk [TS]

00:15:17   out onstage and do your thing [TS]

00:15:18   so a bob marley seems like a good guy he [TS]

00:15:23   did not choose to be the meat the music [TS]

00:15:25   of of date rape or whatever whatever it [TS]

00:15:28   is that you're here you're claiming [TS]

00:15:30   you're saying over i'm not saying it's [TS]

00:15:32   actually no I know exactly what you mean [TS]

00:15:35   I'm saying like you know what but there [TS]

00:15:37   it is [TS]

00:15:38   but there is Bob didn't choose it I felt [TS]

00:15:40   that way when I saw Nirvana in whatever [TS]

00:15:42   1994 there planets which the story but [TS]

00:15:45   they're playing a stadium a stadium but [TS]

00:15:47   you know like the civic center in [TS]

00:15:48   Tallahassee with the Breeders opening [TS]

00:15:50   and the Breeders actually like did a [TS]

00:15:52   pretty good job [TS]

00:15:52   I mean you know they printed a pretty [TS]

00:15:54   good job filling the room turning [TS]

00:15:55   Nirvana came out and it was it was it [TS]

00:15:58   was one of the like defining moments of [TS]

00:16:00   my music and especially the kind of [TS]

00:16:02   indie rock ark was i SAT there with all [TS]

00:16:05   my gosh I really like this band but they [TS]

00:16:07   seem so little they were so little on [TS]

00:16:09   that stage you know but they had all [TS]

00:16:11   this bombastic set stuff going on and [TS]

00:16:14   when they did the whole like she's the [TS]

00:16:16   one who likes all our pretty songs and [TS]

00:16:17   everybody sing along like you don't have [TS]

00:16:20   to be a huge ironist to sit there and go [TS]

00:16:23   this is awkward like there's a big [TS]

00:16:24   spinning mirror ball and people are [TS]

00:16:25   literally singing along with well but [TS]

00:16:28   you know he tried if you if you read the [TS]

00:16:29   liner notes on incest aside there's this [TS]

00:16:32   whole he writes this whole essay on like [TS]

00:16:35   if you if you are raper [TS]

00:16:37   then stop listening to our music like he [TS]

00:16:40   actually you actually addressed rapers [TS]

00:16:44   directly and said if you don't like gays [TS]

00:16:46   or if you're if you like if you're a [TS]

00:16:48   raper then you can fuck off and stop [TS]

00:16:50   listening to nirvana because we don't [TS]

00:16:52   want you and I remember even at the time [TS]

00:16:56   1993 making the internet reader says [TS]

00:17:00   guys rapers yeah sure [TS]

00:17:02   first thing they got through there [TS]

00:17:03   anything in here that should know about [TS]

00:17:05   in terms of whether i should listen to [TS]

00:17:06   this band know what they what they would [TS]

00:17:08   do you know they're looking through [TS]

00:17:09   there like who's the second assistant [TS]

00:17:10   engineer on this project but i'll listen [TS]

00:17:13   to this it's an article about rappers [TS]

00:17:14   hope that's me tony levin played on that [TS]

00:17:16   that's club [TS]

00:17:17   I'm not [TS]

00:17:18   I i guess i should stop listening to [TS]

00:17:20   them but I don't want to what are my [TS]

00:17:21   other options [TS]

00:17:22   oh I could stop raping uh-huh even at [TS]

00:17:25   the time I thought come on core never [TS]

00:17:28   did that come on i'm sure that corn did [TS]

00:17:31   not but not i think that after Kurt or [TS]

00:17:34   before Curt no one has ever addressed [TS]

00:17:36   the rapers directly in the liner notes [TS]

00:17:38   and I think after curd of the subsequent [TS]

00:17:41   artist felt that it had been done and [TS]

00:17:44   that they needed to win to advance the [TS]

00:17:46   betrayed someone well I i think you know [TS]

00:17:48   you can see way too much about coding [TS]

00:17:50   but I mean to me he is a serious [TS]

00:17:51   cautionary tale of the whole be careful [TS]

00:17:54   what you ask for or didn't realize [TS]

00:17:56   you're asking for sonra I mean yeah it's [TS]

00:17:58   a super obvious to say I mean don't know [TS]

00:18:00   he knew what he I mean I wrote the [TS]

00:18:02   community was in Photoshop said I've [TS]

00:18:04   said this before although probably not [TS]

00:18:06   to you but there was a there's a big [TS]

00:18:07   article in the local rock magazine here [TS]

00:18:11   and you know the paper the weekly paper [TS]

00:18:13   called the Rocket a big interview with [TS]

00:18:15   him right before nevermind came out and [TS]

00:18:18   i read it at the time because i have a [TS]

00:18:21   memory like a steel trap [TS]

00:18:23   I remember the gist of the record of [TS]

00:18:25   this of this interview probe primarily [TS]

00:18:28   because i was a junior envious probably [TS]

00:18:30   I was an aspiring musician and here was [TS]

00:18:33   somebody who was where I wanted to be [TS]

00:18:36   and I was trying to like clean whatever [TS]

00:18:38   wisdom I could get and in this interview [TS]

00:18:41   he was and maybe he was having a manic [TS]

00:18:44   day that day but he really was [TS]

00:18:47   unabashedly about like this record is [TS]

00:18:50   gonna be the biggest record in the world [TS]

00:18:52   and we're going to be the biggest band [TS]

00:18:53   in the world and this is going to be [TS]

00:18:54   where this you know we are on the way to [TS]

00:18:57   like achieving all our dreams and of [TS]

00:19:01   course at the time it was so implausible [TS]

00:19:04   that I mean they're their first record [TS]

00:19:07   sold 50,000 copies and i think that you [TS]

00:19:10   know they didn't dare to do even like [TS]

00:19:12   way more than my honey these guys are [TS]

00:19:14   going to succeed like they're not even [TS]

00:19:15   on the radar screen but he's in this [TS]

00:19:17   article just crowing about and this is [TS]

00:19:19   writing for the thing came out you know [TS]

00:19:21   this record the best record anybody's [TS]

00:19:22   ever made and we're gonna be the biggest [TS]

00:19:23   pain in the world [TS]

00:19:24   well so it was there another reason that [TS]

00:19:27   this stuck in my head is it wasn't [TS]

00:19:29   but six months later that i'm reading [TS]

00:19:32   things from him like we're just a you [TS]

00:19:34   know hardcore punk band we just wanted [TS]

00:19:36   to her in our van and I don't know why [TS]

00:19:37   everybody's looking at me all the time [TS]

00:19:38   and I want this to go away and you know [TS]

00:19:42   I still had this prior article in in my [TS]

00:19:45   memory in my short-term memory my ram if [TS]

00:19:48   you will [TS]

00:19:49   uh-huh and wet know my rom which one was [TS]

00:19:52   it in my rammer my rom it was in your [TS]

00:19:54   floppy it was in my floppy I hadn't [TS]

00:19:57   stolen my floppy so i was able to [TS]

00:19:58   compare and contrast the two the two [TS]

00:20:01   attitudes in my own head and I went uh I [TS]

00:20:07   don't know about that [TS]

00:20:08   and of course this was right at the same [TS]

00:20:09   time that that any better [TS]

00:20:11   who had been wearing like doctors dogs [TS]

00:20:13   Sex Wax t-shirt six months before and [TS]

00:20:17   high-top tennis shoes and he was like a [TS]

00:20:19   high five and white guy Mikey all the [TS]

00:20:21   Sun was carrying around a bottle of red [TS]

00:20:23   wine and like oh fuck I'm so her inside [TS]

00:20:27   when I when the Kaiser help i was like [TS]

00:20:30   where you r i5 and white guy six months [TS]

00:20:32   ago and now you're hurt inside either [TS]

00:20:34   that means that every high five and [TS]

00:20:36   white guy is really hurt inside and all [TS]

00:20:39   he needs is several million dollars to [TS]

00:20:41   get in touch with his feelings several [TS]

00:20:43   million dollars in the agile ation of [TS]

00:20:44   millions or some of this is a little bit [TS]

00:20:48   of a put-on and i'm not saying that head [TS]

00:20:50   is a Collins a short name that's what [TS]

00:20:53   that people up here calling I I you know [TS]

00:20:55   when I see my comment mr. better [TS]

00:20:56   Stevie but but people in seattle call [TS]

00:20:59   ahead and so I go along with that [TS]

00:21:02   because I'm something awfully familiar [TS]

00:21:04   I'm a follower it is well it is you know [TS]

00:21:08   that Seattle has to feel has to continue [TS]

00:21:12   continue to feel proprietary about [TS]

00:21:14   people that have become internationally [TS]

00:21:17   international superstar [TS]

00:21:19   uh-huh and so they do it by by using [TS]

00:21:23   inappropriate nicknames or by well [TS]

00:21:26   sometimes it's a little bit like San [TS]

00:21:28   Francisco I mean you know San Francisco [TS]

00:21:30   has a [TS]

00:21:31   another kind of reputation for like you [TS]

00:21:33   know if you see all units [TS]

00:21:35   yeah absolutely hundred percent down the [TS]

00:21:37   middle [TS]

00:21:38   nice tight pants but you know where [TS]

00:21:40   you're supposedly notorious or famous [TS]

00:21:43   for like a like we don't make a big deal [TS]

00:21:45   when you see it all everything notorious [TS]

00:21:48   which is that cover record they did they [TS]

00:21:51   did the render and that would cover [TS]

00:21:53   record the covers like think about cover [TS]

00:21:54   records don't do it [TS]

00:21:56   yeah don't do a cover record name one [TS]

00:21:58   girl she'll just did a cover record [TS]

00:22:01   well of a mistake incredibly obvious [TS]

00:22:04   covers even the Johnny Cash cover record [TS]

00:22:07   with triangle which I credit with [TS]

00:22:09   reintroducing me to solitary man by neil [TS]

00:22:13   diamond a great song and johnny cash's [TS]

00:22:16   cover of it is great but don't do a [TS]

00:22:18   cover record it always seems like a good [TS]

00:22:20   idea going in but it's not you're saying [TS]

00:22:23   there's no you're not interesting just [TS]

00:22:25   ironic cover records and pattern thing [TS]

00:22:27   you're saying cover records in general [TS]

00:22:28   bad idea [TS]

00:22:29   I don't know by 11 artists covering [TS]

00:22:31   another artist that's a bad idea [TS]

00:22:33   well no I think playin a cover and show [TS]

00:22:35   is a great idea nobody make a tribute to [TS]

00:22:38   a tribute to the fastbacks like is that [TS]

00:22:39   a bad idea [TS]

00:22:40   oh no no I'm saying one band does a [TS]

00:22:43   record of their 10 favorite covers it [TS]

00:22:46   feels it feels like not to use an old [TS]

00:22:49   mr. shoujo but I mean it's kind of like [TS]

00:22:51   here to the video for sugar cube by yo [TS]

00:22:53   tengo where they gotta Rock School and [TS]

00:22:55   and David Cross is like and then your [TS]

00:22:57   third record should be the live album [TS]

00:22:58   you know it's weird how they're still is [TS]

00:23:00   this cycle where a certain point you [TS]

00:23:02   know you gotta put up the best of the [TS]

00:23:03   greatest hits the whatever LOL has like [TS]

00:23:06   a hundred and seventy of those but you [TS]

00:23:08   know at a certain point it seems like [TS]

00:23:09   when you really start to dry things up [TS]

00:23:11   that's so different than Paul and get [TS]

00:23:13   back or what would become let it be four [TS]

00:23:16   paws like hey look guys we keep this [TS]

00:23:17   together we've really got to get back to [TS]

00:23:19   our roots right and so a lot of that was [TS]

00:23:20   going in and going back to covering a [TS]

00:23:22   lot of it didn't make it on the album i [TS]

00:23:24   think we are like covers of all rock and [TS]

00:23:26   roll songs that they also managed to [TS]

00:23:28   write long wet every yeah yeah no no I [TS]

00:23:32   tell you graduate [TS]

00:23:33   I guess I'm agreeing with you in there [TS]

00:23:35   yeah it's making a desperate but it's [TS]

00:23:37   like if you were still full of ideas [TS]

00:23:39   I mean you look at ulia van Halen van [TS]

00:23:41   Halen had two albums in the can [TS]

00:23:42   after a few weeks surprisingly you read [TS]

00:23:45   that article i didn't know that i didn't [TS]

00:23:46   know that like first album was great [TS]

00:23:48   second album i think the second album is [TS]

00:23:50   really good too but the point is they [TS]

00:23:51   recorded them at the same time right and [TS]

00:23:53   they still had tracks left over right [TS]

00:23:55   like spanish fly [TS]

00:23:56   I'm saying that van Halen to uh huh is [TS]

00:23:59   not in the top five van Halen records [TS]

00:24:03   really yeah women children first but he [TS]

00:24:07   was a gain what's the one change that's [TS]

00:24:09   yeah [TS]

00:24:10   fair warning yeah fair warning and women [TS]

00:24:12   and children first are my two favorite [TS]

00:24:13   van Halen records and stop Yulin yeah [TS]

00:24:16   because they are they're so dark there [TS]

00:24:19   so they're so smart [TS]

00:24:22   I i had a cassette tape with with with [TS]

00:24:24   those a b-side and I just that studies a [TS]

00:24:28   good one I think I still gotta say I [TS]

00:24:30   mean to me [TS]

00:24:31   van Halen one like side one of Master of [TS]

00:24:33   Puppets yeah i mean like i want to [TS]

00:24:35   master of puppets I don't know what your [TS]

00:24:36   feeling on that is that to me that's [TS]

00:24:37   like that's almost perfect [TS]

00:24:39   it was amazing with the whole records [TS]

00:24:41   great but the first side of that is [TS]

00:24:42   anyone I I would never say a bad word [TS]

00:24:45   about it is one of the great albums that [TS]

00:24:46   is it is bulletproof and in fact it's [TS]

00:24:48   like I was so different and so so [TS]

00:24:50   different from everything else it's kind [TS]

00:24:51   of maybe up above the level where where [TS]

00:24:53   I feel like I could even make a critical [TS]

00:24:55   appraisal it's kind of like going like [TS]

00:24:56   magical mystery tour isn't as good as a [TS]

00:24:59   revolver it's still a pretty good record [TS]

00:25:01   sure it's not a great record it's not [TS]

00:25:04   really a great record will be the next [TS]

00:25:05   day I I don't mind if you notice i was [TS]

00:25:07   able to peg both Van Halen's apotheosis [TS]

00:25:11   their Zenith as well as the beginning of [TS]

00:25:13   the end in forwards here one break haha [TS]

00:25:19   well is it was really really goes to [TS]

00:25:21   support the break Dave when he does [TS]

00:25:25   forwards you go on the one hand this is [TS]

00:25:27   the David Lee Roth eous David Lee Roth [TS]

00:25:29   said this is back when he was still [TS]

00:25:31   awesome but ya go [TS]

00:25:33   that's the beginning like a couple years [TS]

00:25:34   later it's just a gigolo yeah well [TS]

00:25:36   that's the thing I you can you can [TS]

00:25:38   almost hear Eddie Van Halen's I balls [TS]

00:25:40   rolling in his head [TS]

00:25:42   yes at that moment of like oh Jesus what [TS]

00:25:45   have we become absolutely absolutely and [TS]

00:25:47   and I mean you know they probably did I [TS]

00:25:49   don't knowingly providing tons of takes [TS]

00:38:49   going on within all you tell me this in [TS]

00:38:51   San Francisco there's a rule of two [TS]

00:38:52   right isn't there like a fucking you [TS]

00:38:54   might have told me this or I heard it [TS]

00:39:06   American two great Americans is a film [TS]

00:39:09   or is it is that kind of right in there [TS]

00:39:10   i got like a sec building but I feel [TS]

00:39:12   like that is true [TS]

00:39:13   yeah although the number if you want [TS]

00:39:15   more fields being an annoying to guess [TS]

00:39:17   I'm gonna fucking follow more people go [TS]

00:39:19   up go up exponentially to I mean it's [TS]

00:39:22   more expensive to put on the show the [TS]

00:39:23   film more than it is at you know to put [TS]

00:39:26   on three at the bottom of the hill or do [TS]

00:39:28   you have any idea how hard it is to find [TS]

00:39:29   45 angry hippies to act like they like [TS]

00:39:31   music staff there now you go to the [TS]

00:39:34   great American you like you get your [TS]

00:39:35   dude they're the backstage dude they [TS]

00:39:37   treat you write the great American right [TS]

00:39:38   yeah absolutely [TS]

00:39:39   well Seattle has a similar thing except [TS]

00:39:41   it's kind of a rule of threes like it's [TS]

00:39:43   three crocodiles used to be a showbox [TS]

00:39:47   three show boxes are paramount but there [TS]

00:39:51   are a lot of bands like death cabin and [TS]

00:39:53   and built to spill for instance and [TS]

00:39:54   modest mouse these bands could have [TS]

00:39:56   played a paramount but they would rather [TS]

00:39:58   play three show boxes [TS]

00:40:00   uh-huh because in the end you walk with [TS]

00:40:02   more money from three show boxes [TS]

00:40:04   well I think that's I think that's super [TS]

00:40:06   smart you know that's one reason now for [TS]

00:40:08   example he didn't you shine open for [TS]

00:40:11   they might be giants one time we open [TS]

00:40:13   for the many times and nobody will ever [TS]

00:40:15   encounter now you know that night at [TS]

00:40:17   great american it was a sit-down thing [TS]

00:40:19   it's a weird show because you know [TS]

00:40:20   they're trying to make electro & chicken [TS]

00:40:21   fingers and shit so you should you bet [TS]

00:40:24   you pay more but if you want to see up [TS]

00:40:26   in the mezzanine where you can see or [TS]

00:40:28   you want to show on the scene on the [TS]

00:40:29   floor if you want to see you gotta pee [TS]

00:40:31   gotta fucking food you've gotta like [TS]

00:40:33   it's real stupid [TS]

00:41:01   would this is what makes you artisanal [TS]

00:41:03   and it's what makes our show artisanal [TS]

00:41:04   you know I sometimes bemoan the fact [TS]

00:41:06   that we're not you know ridiculously [TS]

00:41:07   popular as a program but you know what I [TS]

00:41:10   I don't want to have I don't want to [TS]

00:41:11   have the dog March problem i don't want [TS]

00:41:13   to be entertaining dumbasses I like the [TS]

00:41:15   fact that we're getting people who can [TS]

00:41:16   tolerate a huge amount of pain [TS]

00:41:17   pawn in a little bit of a giant talk to [TS]

00:41:20   girls get to someplace important [TS]

00:41:21   something happened to me a couple weeks [TS]

00:41:23   ago I went on to your Twitter account [TS]

00:41:25   and read your @ replies sorry I have [TS]

00:41:30   never done this before I've never gone [TS]

00:41:31   to a friend's Twitter account and read [TS]

00:41:33   what people are saying to them and I was [TS]

00:41:36   appalled at the way people talk to you [TS]

00:41:39   how's that I was appalled well there are [TS]

00:41:41   all these ding-dongs out there [TS]

00:41:42   correcting you on stuff where you're not [TS]

00:41:44   wrong [TS]

00:41:50   mean no you get you get tons and tons of [TS]

00:41:52   people congratulating you and telling [TS]

00:41:54   you they're your hero but there are also [TS]

00:41:56   all these people who presume that it's [TS]

00:41:59   their place to correct you on some of [TS]

00:42:01   this or that it is that's their place [TS]

00:42:04   I'm not criticizing now that's what it's [TS]

00:42:05   for I mean they got they got a keyboard [TS]

00:42:07   just like me you know yeah I you know [TS]

00:42:09   the thing is I've said this before but [TS]

00:42:16   been criticized is am Telling it [TS]

00:42:19   correctly [TS]

00:42:20   I've had I've had to have arguments with [TS]

00:42:22   people about whether i spelled [TS]

00:42:23   incorrectly or correctly it's nots [TS]

00:42:25   really super hard to find out how the [TS]

00:42:27   correct spelling something is and yet no [TS]

00:42:29   matter what you do something and organs [TS]

00:42:31   wrong [TS]

00:42:31   yeah it's a kind of argument is it is [TS]

00:42:34   not now I understand now you're always [TS]

00:42:35   arguing with people on your Twitter [TS]

00:42:37   because you say provocative things and [TS]

00:42:38   then you respond [TS]

00:42:39   yeah you're saying mine is more caustic [TS]

00:42:41   I get more caustic responses yeah i know [TS]

00:42:43   people people respond to to my Twitter [TS]

00:43:03   it must be a lot of people who are [TS]

00:43:04   finally at a point where they're willing [TS]

00:43:07   to share how much you've helped them [TS]

00:43:09   like for a long time is probably hard to [TS]

00:43:11   even you know get the wherewithal to [TS]

00:43:13   obviously approach a man of your stature [TS]

00:43:15   but them to be able to be so open to be [TS]

00:43:18   so exposed to the time like you right [TS]

00:43:21   people people want they want the I get [TS]

00:43:24   the feeling a lot of people before they [TS]

00:43:25   reply to me on Twitter they put on that [TS]

00:43:28   they change their clothes they put on [TS]

00:43:29   some better clothes [TS]

00:43:30   like put on me i'm not saying Sunday [TS]

00:43:41   it's dirty shirt and they when they [TS]

00:43:43   reply to me on Twitter and and sometimes [TS]

00:43:45   I reply sometimes I don't already do [TS]

00:43:46   after that today I go pick up his [TS]

00:43:48   prescription do they take off the [TS]

00:43:49   clothes they get passed by probably sit [TS]

00:43:51   in a chair and stare at the floor and [TS]

00:43:53   think about the wording of the tweet [TS]

00:43:54   they said to me and wonder if they maybe [TS]

00:43:56   could have done it better or there and [TS]

00:43:58   then they think they get kind of [TS]

00:43:59   paranoid like fuck it [TS]

00:44:01   he could have he could totally [TS]

00:44:02   misinterpret what I said yes and they [TS]

00:44:04   think should i send him a second tweet [TS]

00:44:05   clarifying tweet also them don't some of [TS]

00:44:09   this is what makes the the end of the [TS]

00:44:11   evening dangerous especially anyone [TS]

00:44:22   dressing room behind your feelings of [TS]

00:44:24   guards but it's when people video is the [TS]

00:44:28   come up and said hi [TS]

00:44:29   earlier they get to get 11 or 16 drink [TS]

01:13:03   from Australia it you know that that [TS]

01:13:06   you a live ostrich alive they're very [TS]

01:13:15   had this I had both things kangaroo and [TS]

01:13:17   ostrich at this korean BBQ and i have to [TS]

01:13:44   it doing for you well so I went to the [TS]

01:13:46   doctor like I would like I said at the [TS]

01:13:47   beginning of this thing and he said you [TS]

01:13:51   got all your vitamins you're fine except [TS]

01:14:31   that I'm feeling better [TS]

01:14:32   yeah but uh but it's nice that it's nice [TS]

01:14:36   to think that there is a that there is [TS]

01:14:38   there something chemically wrong with me [TS]

01:14:40   rather than that there's something [TS]

01:14:42   spiritually wrong with god that has been [TS]

01:14:44   such a consolation for me when I figured [TS]

01:14:47   that out the spirituality thing you can [TS]

01:14:50   spend a lot of time running down that [TS]

01:14:51   path [TS]
