00:00:00   hi John how are you hi Marilyn I well uh [TS]

00:00:10   I'm well I'm well I'm all you something [TS]

00:00:14   better [TS]

00:00:14   I mean I've got less bad but i'm not [TS]

00:00:17   completely well i'm i'm ninety percent [TS]

00:00:20   better but that ten percent there's a [TS]

00:00:24   lot of wiggle room in that ten percent [TS]

00:00:26   like losing me his last 20 pounds so [TS]

00:00:30   that again never heard that when people [TS]

00:00:31   say they're trying to lose weight like [TS]

00:00:32   last five pounds they say its last I [TS]

00:00:35   don't know that might be one of those [TS]

00:00:36   dumb things like you always find things [TS]

00:00:38   last place you look [TS]

00:00:39   I'm sure makes sense but they say you [TS]

00:00:40   can lose a bunch of weight last five [TS]

00:00:42   pounds of hearts for you [TS]

00:00:43   that's the last mile was like that the [TS]

00:00:45   last ten percent of sickness I could [TS]

00:00:48   still turn it around and get pneumonia [TS]

00:00:52   I could still turn this this almost [TS]

00:00:55   better pneus into total catastrophic [TS]

00:01:00   sickness so i have to be very careful at [TS]

00:01:03   this point that I don't go do what my [TS]

00:01:05   instinct tells me which is to run [TS]

00:01:08   bareheaded in the rain in my underwear [TS]

00:01:12   because i will get i will get pneumonia [TS]

00:01:15   if i do that and that's what my instinct [TS]

00:01:17   is telling me who is that it is an [TS]

00:01:20   instinct you have a lot to that running [TS]

00:01:21   around without clothes and no hat it is [TS]

00:01:24   and that's why I don't that's why when [TS]

00:01:27   people say follow your gut [TS]

00:01:29   I say shut up my gut is telling me to do [TS]

00:01:33   incredibly stupid things my gut always [TS]

00:01:36   told me to fall in love with lesbians my [TS]

00:01:39   god tells me to go out in the rain [TS]

00:01:41   without a hat [TS]

00:01:42   my gut tells me to eat all the pasta [TS]

00:01:45   literally it's my gut that tells me to [TS]

00:01:48   do that [TS]

00:01:49   thank you I can't trust myself is what [TS]

00:01:51   I'm saying I think you're guest probably [TS]

00:01:54   seen too many things on cinemax where [TS]

00:01:56   they make out lesbians and you think [TS]

00:01:58   that is very attractive to me but then [TS]

00:02:01   you realize that the person is not [TS]

00:02:04   featured in the Cinemax movie [TS]

00:02:05   consistently is you [TS]

00:02:07   well it's your cinemax references and [TS]

00:02:10   far off but in fact the lesbians i have [TS]

00:02:13   traditionally fall in love with are the [TS]

00:02:15   ones with short black hair and the [TS]

00:02:17   faintest whisper of a mustache [TS]

00:02:20   I don't I I'm not interested in in like [TS]

00:02:25   12 year old boy a John Waters well [TS]

00:02:27   somewhere in between a twelve-year-old [TS]

00:02:30   boy and John Waters if John Waters was [TS]

00:02:33   was a lot shorter and had kind of [TS]

00:02:37   not-quite boobs but but lumps lady lumps [TS]

00:02:42   I spent my entire spent my entire [TS]

00:02:44   twenties chasing after girls that look [TS]

00:02:48   like Jane Wiedlin from the go-go's and [TS]

00:02:52   eighty-five percent of them were either [TS]

00:02:54   gay or we're going through their gay [TS]

00:02:57   phase at precisely the time that that [TS]

00:03:02   that we were friends and they wanted to [TS]

00:03:05   talk about their romantic problems with [TS]

00:03:07   me [TS]

00:03:07   that's why I i think it's a big part of [TS]

00:03:11   why I was an alcoholic the small [TS]

00:03:14   breasted lesbians [TS]

00:03:17   yeah the frustration caused by [TS]

00:03:18   consistently falling in love with boyish [TS]

00:08:16   now the nineties were just we should [TS]

00:08:17   just let's just never speak of them [TS]

00:08:19   again [TS]

00:08:20   I knew it I knew I know how useless I [TS]

00:08:21   was it like when we graduated from [TS]

00:08:24   microphone college in 1990 and it was it [TS]

00:08:29   was like that all people have been [TS]

00:08:30   classes before it's done all these [TS]

00:08:32   amazing things they've done things on [TS]

00:08:33   campus they didn't think nationally [TS]

00:08:35   internationally the fulbright scholars [TS]

00:08:36   and then there's a four years that i was [TS]

00:08:38   there i think i had a big effect on this [TS]

00:24:55   for stealing their design and then [TS]

00:24:58   Germany invaded czechoslovakia and while [TS]

00:25:02   the lawsuit just went away so but anyway [TS]

00:25:08   you're right it was hard too hard too [TS]

00:25:09   hard to find a lawyer [TS]

00:25:11   it was really hard to find a lawyer to [TS]

00:25:12   try that case at the time we should move [TS]

00:25:14   on [TS]

00:25:15   um yeah I never would have had good luck [TS]

00:25:22   with girls [TS]

00:25:25   you know what we should drop that it's [TS]

00:25:26   just it's it's just such a legacy of [TS]

00:25:28   pain and even when it did work out it [TS]

00:25:30   didn't work out I know what the fuck I [TS]

00:25:31   was thinking the whole time I couldn't [TS]

00:25:33   you know what I could have been good in [TS]

00:25:34   school i think i could I got really good [TS]

00:25:37   grades up until like the eighth grade I [TS]

00:25:39   you know I whatever like on I had like [TS]

00:25:42   straight days until i was in like eighth [TS]

00:25:44   grade I went to Florida they put me in [TS]

00:25:46   consumer math and a and and then girls [TS]

00:25:49   wearing very tight pants and there's [TS]

00:25:51   already Speedwagon it was very confusing [TS]

00:25:53   yeah yeah and I don't think I adapted [TS]

00:25:55   well to that and don't think I've ever [TS]

00:25:56   come out of it [TS]

00:25:57   I don't think you could have done well [TS]

00:25:58   in school Merlin hmm i think that you [TS]

00:26:01   are a special breed of person who needed [TS]

00:26:03   a mentor you should have had an adult [TS]

00:26:06   male who took you out like so like [TS]

00:26:09   Scoutmaster and she has Scoutmaster who [TS]

00:26:12   showed you the way and unfortunately now [TS]

00:26:14   we're were as a nation were so panicky [TS]

00:26:17   about pedophiles that we don't let Scout [TS]

00:26:21   masters take young impressionable men [TS]

00:26:23   and show them away and it's unfortunate [TS]

00:26:26   because there are some social good Scout [TS]

00:26:28   masters that there are some of us who [TS]

00:26:30   just needed a Scoutmaster and I'm [TS]

00:26:31   certainly one although i don't think i [TS]

00:26:33   needed a Scoutmaster as much as what I [TS]

00:26:35   needed was a graduate student [TS]

00:26:36   [Music] [TS]

00:26:38   who was who was a you know good at [TS]

00:26:44   sports [TS]

00:26:45   I just like to note for the record I'm [TS]

00:26:47   gonna put this on card that i would [TS]

00:26:49   appreciate that you have tone that down [TS]

00:26:50   because I believe your exact quote for [TS]

00:26:54   me [TS]

00:26:54   ah as early as i want to say 2004 [TS]

00:26:58   repeated several times over the years [TS]

00:27:00   was that actually what I need is quote a [TS]

00:27:03   really good ass-kicking i think you said [TS]

00:27:07   it know what's funny is I at the time [TS]

00:27:08   because I'm because i don't have a [TS]

00:27:10   strong father figure in my life I think [TS]

00:27:12   I thought you were playing a mean thing [TS]

00:27:13   but now I realize you were trying to [TS]

00:27:14   help me and you see you're trying and I [TS]

00:27:16   don't think you necessarily offering to [TS]

00:27:18   do it unless I got talking but but it [TS]

00:27:20   was clear that i think he said I should [TS]

00:27:23   say in your own words because you [TS]

00:27:24   probably remember or something along the [TS]

00:27:25   lines of there's nothing wrong with you [TS]

00:27:27   could not be solved and it might have [TS]

00:27:29   been a couple good ass-kicking there [TS]

00:27:31   might have been something where there [TS]

00:27:32   had to be some follow-up like a second [TS]

00:27:33   visit to the the thing is when I first [TS]

00:27:36   met you you were you are much more [TS]

00:27:38   sensitive than you are now I know I [TS]

00:27:39   wasn't either [TS]

00:27:40   yes you think you were I think the [TS]

00:27:42   Internet has cauterized you a little bit [TS]

00:27:45   at you you know i would say things like [TS]

00:27:48   Merlin you meet somebody should have [TS]

00:27:50   kicked your ass a long time ago and and [TS]

00:27:53   it's not too late [TS]

00:27:54   yeah haha you would start you would get [TS]

00:27:57   a look on your face and like I had like [TS]

00:27:59   you know like I had pulled a lot out of [TS]

00:28:02   nose hair or something you would get [TS]

00:28:04   this like ter too terrible look on your [TS]

00:28:06   face like I said something mean well you [TS]

00:28:09   will you John you're like you're like a [TS]

00:28:10   conscience and incontinent mastiff but [TS]

00:28:13   probably like you have like four [TS]

00:28:14   incontinent massive it's just going to [TS]

00:28:16   be a breaking-in period right I'm going [TS]

00:28:18   to move some things in the house you can [TS]

00:28:19   have to make some arrangements for the [TS]

00:28:21   rugs sure and I think for a lot of [TS]

00:28:22   people are going to be a little bit [TS]

00:28:23   scared about the giant fucking dogs move [TS]

00:28:25   your little crystal figurines up to a [TS]

00:28:27   higher shelf i think the reason our [TS]

00:28:29   relationship if I may say continues to [TS]

00:28:32   grow and thrive is that is that I i yes [TS]

00:28:36   is that you I had some accommodations [TS]

00:28:39   well yes yes you know what yes yes and [TS]

00:28:43   today i'll just say fail now but the [TS]

00:28:46   thing is I don't think one ass-kicking [TS]

00:28:47   would be sufficient think you know just [TS]

00:28:49   starting to scare me [TS]

00:28:50   but it wouldn't sink it you need the [TS]

00:28:52   first ass-kicking going to shop your [TS]

00:28:53   shop and I went missing girl up in the [TS]

00:28:56   corner holding your knees and say yyyy [TS]

00:31:14   disagree retroactive that's like that's [TS]

00:31:18   like all the people in 1994 saying how [TS]

00:31:21   pumped they were in 1986 i was around in [TS]

00:31:24   1986 and nobody was fucking pump [TS]

00:31:29   punks on two hands in any city and he [TS]

00:31:32   didn't like them they're unlikable the [TS]

00:31:35   puncture on likable than turds yeah but [TS]

00:31:37   in 1994 oh my god everybody had a [TS]

00:31:39   picture of how pumped they were and it [TS]

00:31:42   was usually a picture that they had [TS]

00:31:44   taken it was a picture of them at [TS]

00:31:45   Halloween dressed as a punk and they [TS]

00:31:48   took the picture and they took a sharpie [TS]

00:31:50   and they sharpie'd out the people on [TS]

00:31:53   either side of them dressed like Batman [TS]

00:31:55   and like shipping address [TS]

00:32:00   I'm heard from burger king and they were [TS]

00:32:02   like and and the sharpie on the picture [TS]

00:32:04   just made it look more punk and then [TS]

00:32:06   they thumb tack it up on their wall and [TS]

00:32:08   it's them with a shaving cream mustache [TS]

00:32:10   perennials shaving cream boho right put [TS]

00:32:14   walk in there like I was so pumped in [TS]

00:32:16   1985 I used to get my ass kicked all the [TS]

00:32:18   time and they were it was it was a it [TS]

00:32:22   was a collective conspiracy of the youth [TS]

00:32:25   of America to rewrite history there were [TS]

00:32:28   no punks in 1986 you I mean unless you [TS]

00:32:31   lived in Baltimore which I didn't they [TS]

00:32:32   are in quincy there were there were [TS]

00:32:34   there were 30 punks in America 30 punks [TS]

00:32:38   I I think your numbers are extremely [TS]

00:32:39   wrong but it's a very interesting point [TS]

00:32:41   three hundred bucks who station [TS]

00:32:44   why the growth ghost code we had [TS]

00:32:46   something our high school called punk [TS]

00:32:47   rock day as part of homecoming [TS]

00:32:49   and I will find a picture i think i [TS]

00:33:19   been living in a Washington for many [TS]

00:33:21   many years I grew up in the northwest [TS]

00:33:22   I say Sasquatch and I believe that that [TS]

00:33:25   is how it should be pronounced whether [TS]

00:33:27   that is the pronunciation or not I [TS]

00:33:29   cannot say but I think that's how it [TS]

00:33:31   should be pronounced oh yeah punk rock [TS]

00:33:33   day with you that they look at that it's [TS]

00:33:36   33 cheerleaders who were they wearing [TS]

00:41:51   Charles Nelson rallies to do is forever [TS]

00:41:53   correcting people who he should be [TS]

00:41:55   compared to now he did not like being [TS]

00:41:57   compared to Clifton Webb because he [TS]

00:41:58   thought Clinton have seemed a little gay [TS]

00:42:29   humor and some of them are a little [TS]

00:42:31   shrill that's not funny [TS]

00:42:32   well some games would think it was funny [TS]

00:42:35   other gays would get all Mary about the [TS]

00:42:38   closet laughter seriously think about [TS]

00:42:40   Bruce Vilanch is that he has so much [TS]

00:42:42   he's he shaped like a like a traffic [TS]

00:42:45   cone and it and it has so much [TS]

00:42:48   there's so much extra flesh around his [TS]

00:42:52   neck [TS]

00:42:53   I get the feeling looking at him that if [TS]

00:42:55   a gust of wind came up that is next that [TS]

00:42:58   would slap him in the face more than [TS]

00:43:00   George Lucas will see George Lucas what [TS]

00:43:03   George Lucas has is that he had he has [TS]

00:43:07   no face architecture returns knowledge [TS]

00:43:10   here if he didn't have that beard you're [TS]

00:43:11   saying that oh my god I've I'm sorry to [TS]

00:43:14   interrupt but I just realized you just [TS]

00:43:15   made me realize he has if he would go [TS]

00:43:18   straight dewlap to mouth Gibby I don't [TS]

00:43:20   get from from the bottom of his nose to [TS]

00:43:22   his Adam's apple [TS]

00:43:23   nothing there but am I literally look [TS]

00:43:26   like Jabba the Hutt just sort of [TS]

00:43:27   floating in a in annex pace [TS]

00:43:30   and he makes the claim is the category [TS]

00:43:33   error of thinking that you can this is [TS]

00:43:35   the andrew dice clay error which is as [TS]

00:43:38   your face falls apart you make you [TS]

00:43:41   delineate where the face once was [TS]

00:43:45   by cutting your beard in more and more [TS]

00:43:47   angular shapes and it absolutely doesn't [TS]

00:43:50   work what you need to do as your face [TS]

00:43:52   falls apart is just let your beard grow [TS]

00:43:55   into a huge bushy thing and then nobody [TS]

00:43:58   can see what's underneath it that [TS]

00:44:00   self-awareness it's like a light you can [TS]

00:44:02   like you're gonna run toward Ty Cobb [TS]

00:44:04   after he hits the ball now you follow [TS]

00:44:05   the ball not the batter right that's [TS]

00:44:07   right [TS]

00:44:07   be the ball see the ball be the ball the [TS]

00:44:10   ball Danny to Latin you do not want you [TS]

00:44:13   do not want to try and fool people into [TS]

00:44:15   thinking you have a face by cutting your [TS]

00:44:17   beard into like a helmet strap that's [TS]

00:44:21   what George Lucas looks like he's [TS]

00:44:22   wearing a hair helmet that's held on [TS]

00:44:24   with a beard strap it but you know the [TS]

00:44:26   way he said yes and he knows enough [TS]

00:44:28   about all of that stuff he has ruined [TS]

00:44:30   enough movies he's killed enough faces [TS]

00:44:33   look Carrie Fisher Fisher beautiful [TS]

00:44:35   woman looks like Bozo the Clown in the [TS]

00:44:36   first Star Wars movie beautiful woman he [TS]

00:44:38   knows what a face should look like [TS]

00:44:39   theoretically he has people that could [TS]

00:44:41   give him photos and maybe some notes he [TS]

00:44:44   literally every day he makes the [TS]

00:44:45   decision to have his dewlap stick out [TS]

00:44:47   from underneath his beard you saw him [TS]

00:44:49   from the side he would look like a [TS]

00:44:51   boomeritis he would be a large South [TS]

00:44:53   American Marine frog [TS]

00:44:54   this is why this is paul allen's problem [TS]

00:44:59   poland's problems they have a rich [TS]

00:45:01   enough that they surround themselves [TS]

00:45:11   completely exclude anyone who even [TS]

00:45:15   raises their eyebrows even so the [TS]

00:47:12   Lucas picture you know George Lucas grew [TS]

00:47:15   if you just let his neck hair grow then [TS]

00:47:18   you would think wow what a lustrous [TS]

00:47:20   beard and you would realize that that [TS]

00:47:21   that that that wasn't a beard that it [TS]

00:47:23   was all that it was all flesh [TS]

00:47:27   hmm and it just had a coating of hair [TS]

00:47:49   six months that's what it would do [TS]

00:47:51   help so that's that's six months [TS]

00:48:21   which is nice he doesn't have that right [TS]

00:48:23   there is no CGI four faces yet uh but it [TS]

00:48:28   also conceals the fact that there's a [TS]

00:48:29   big thing under there [TS]

00:48:30   they don't know what could be under [TS]

00:48:31   there you know it could be it could be a [TS]

00:48:34   like an unnecessary rat and mouse Isley [TS]

00:48:37   you never know we don't think about [TS]

00:48:39   George Lucas's faces he has a nice face [TS]

00:48:41   it's just that it's sitting on top of a [TS]

00:53:43   some people for me [TS]

00:53:44   ah i can't imagine how they could [TS]

00:53:46   possibly turn out well yeah but there's [TS]

00:53:49   also reporting the other people should [TS]

00:53:51   have to write those ads for you [TS]

00:53:52   well yeah but I mean if you had somebody [TS]

00:53:57   that was close enough to you that could [TS]

00:53:58   write a a useful signal singles ad about [TS]

00:54:01   you you wouldn't be single [TS]

00:54:02   well I think of it this way i don't know [TS]

00:54:04   if you guys I met you guys have the car [TS]

00:54:06   smoking thing up there you get your car [TS]

00:54:08   smog right up here we have that well [TS]

00:54:11   there's like you know you go in there's [TS]

00:54:12   like these places you know that will [TS]

00:54:14   check your small gang of the places [TS]

00:54:15   we'll fix your small game against the [TS]

00:54:17   Dead Kennedys song a trusty mechanic [TS]

00:54:19   right you want to get a second opinion [TS]

00:54:21   before you get an operation you know [TS]

00:54:23   especially with some elective thing [TS]

00:54:25   right and I'm just saying [TS]

00:54:26   to keep things above board there should [TS]

00:54:29   be you that identifies the need for that [TS]

00:54:31   ad right at the end at the end of the [TS]

00:54:34   value chain there should be somebody who [TS]

00:54:35   puts the ad into some kind of medium in [TS]

00:54:37   between there should be one or more [TS]

00:54:38   people possibly a review board [TS]

00:54:40   well here's the exit the better the [TS]

00:54:42   proper facets four facets and completion [TS]

00:54:44   there's a problem with this theory [TS]

00:54:45   further the first problem is from the [TS]

00:54:47   when you talk about the girls somehow [TS]

00:54:50   along the way in America at least the [TS]

00:54:54   definition of an adult female [TS]

00:54:56   relationship has become that your female [TS]

00:55:02   friend if you are a woman your best [TS]

00:55:04   female friends need to be one hundred [TS]

00:55:06   percent supportive of you this is this [TS]

00:55:10   is now somehow has become the definition [TS]

00:55:12   of female friendship in America so that [TS]

00:55:15   no matter how reprehensible you are as a [TS]

00:55:18   person your best female friends can only [TS]

00:55:22   say to you girl you are you rule you [TS]

00:55:26   know what he's not making it a priority [TS]

00:55:28   girl you are the all-girl you know like [TS]

00:55:32   your girlfriend's can only pump you up [TS]

00:55:35   you cannot in it and nothing everything [TS]

00:55:37   they say that the most important part is [TS]

00:55:39   that they consistently stay on brand [TS]

00:55:41   it's like they might even not hundreds [TS]

00:55:42   and believe that right I can't believe [TS]

00:55:43   it all but ok stay on brand because [TS]

00:55:45   that's the definition of friendship if a [TS]

00:55:47   woman says to another woman now you know [TS]

00:55:49   what actually in this situation I think [TS]

00:55:51   maybe u dot you put an ellipses there [TS]

00:55:55   and the friendship is over the girls [TS]

00:55:56   like oh my god I can't believe it she [TS]

00:55:59   she was you know she was trying to tell [TS]

00:56:01   me how to live like girls that girl of [TS]

00:56:04   the the definition of female friendship [TS]

00:56:05   has become completely perverted so it is [TS]

00:56:09   rubber to rubber stamp it's a rubber [TS]

00:56:11   stamp it's absolutely you you're here [TS]

00:56:12   for your friends are just a proxy for [TS]

00:56:15   your own fuckin problems now so if you [TS]

00:56:18   had your if it in a female situation the [TS]

00:56:20   girlfriends would write an even more [TS]

00:56:23   ridiculously like a fantastical [TS]

00:56:28   definition of their friends because they [TS]

00:56:29   wouldn't there there's no way one woman [TS]

00:56:32   would say about another woman [TS]

00:56:33   oh you know there's more over to love [TS]

00:56:35   are you kidding me that that the [TS]

00:56:38   flamethrowers would come out and in the [TS]

00:56:40   case of the guys i mean at one guy right [TS]

00:56:43   so what's a personal ad for another guy [TS]

00:56:45   first one that would never happen but [TS]

00:56:47   but if you do it okay if he was forced [TS]

00:56:50   to it would be like yeah i mean he's [TS]

00:56:51   dude or whatever he's got I guess ok it [TS]

00:56:56   would be to be single single white male [TS]

00:56:59   fine whatever i guess i'm not gay single [TS]

00:57:02   dude once a chick if you know be cool [TS]

00:57:07   solid solid bro yeah don't be like w/w [TS]

00:57:11   bitch that's it I guess [TS]

00:57:14   hmm have a nice nice parts so you're [TS]

00:57:17   saying that this system is going to work [TS]

00:57:18   at the review board system we're going [TS]

00:57:20   to work you would have to have really [TS]

00:57:22   preferably impartial 3rd parties [TS]

00:57:24   what you need is a tribunal [TS]

00:57:27   what you need is a panel of six people [TS]

00:57:30   who like relax for everyone or commodity [TS]

00:57:33   type situation exactly so youyou you [TS]

00:57:35   submit your online profile you stand [TS]

00:57:38   accused of being single please be [TS]

00:57:39   patient with a research on you they look [TS]

00:57:42   at your facebook pictures yet little bit [TS]

00:57:43   of research i think a sitting position [TS]

00:57:45   they would have gone to town on that [TS]

00:57:47   shit take the firehouse there's millions [TS]

00:57:49   of people writing personal ads there's [TS]

00:57:50   only six people on the tribunal they [TS]

00:57:52   need to get through these pretty John [TS]

00:57:53   John you're a single person telling the [TS]

00:57:55   world that you're alone i think that is [TS]

00:57:57   worth having your house invaded by monks [TS]

00:57:58   if they're going to come in a very [TS]

00:58:01   thorough right and the thing is they're [TS]

00:58:02   probably not going to harm you unless [TS]

00:58:03   you got a comment but they're going to [TS]

00:58:05   go through all your stuff they're gonna [TS]

00:58:06   go through your past certainly yes [TS]

00:58:07   they're gonna they're gonna suck on your [TS]

00:58:09   Facebook page right and how many people [TS]

00:58:12   you think three or four is it all men [TS]

00:58:14   whose on the tribunal no no it has to be [TS]

00:58:16   it has to be men and women i think i [TS]

00:58:17   think again i hate to keep referencing [TS]

00:58:19   4chan now but I think we should just I [TS]

00:58:22   think this is what 4chan is for people [TS]

00:58:25   have been asking what the hell is [TS]

00:58:26   fortunate for I think 4chan is the [TS]

00:58:28   tribunal that should be writing personal [TS]

00:58:30   ads for single people because those [TS]

00:58:32   people are merciless and they know how [TS]

00:58:34   to find your your pictures on flickr you [TS]

00:58:38   know what I mean like I don't care how [TS]

00:58:39   many levels of security you have on your [TS]

00:58:42   on your internet photos if you have [TS]

00:58:44   taken a photo and put it on the internet [TS]

00:58:46   anywhere fortune will find it [TS]

00:58:48   and they're behind seven proxies there [TS]

00:58:50   behind seven proxies they will find that [TS]

00:58:52   they will they will photoshop some semen [TS]

00:58:55   on your face [TS]

00:58:56   mhm and then they will write a personal [TS]

00:58:58   attributes are snapping it called a [TS]

00:59:00   seaman shop scene shop that's a nap is i [TS]

00:59:03   think it's a it's on the new iphone 5 [TS]

00:59:05   that's costly and very hard to update [TS]

00:59:06   299 hmm demon shop but but but I swear [TS]

00:59:13   to you that would mean you're saying [TS]

00:59:15   you're saying that in addition to not [TS]

00:59:16   being afraid to give a very honest [TS]

00:59:18   opinion they they will come in and give [TS]

00:59:20   you an extremely honest opinion may be [TS]

00:59:23   honest to the point of being a little [TS]

00:59:25   bit made up but that's what you're [TS]

00:59:27   facing if you're going to be on [TS]

00:59:28   craigslist if you're gonna if you're [TS]

00:59:29   gonna be in a bay area garden next [TS]

00:59:31   garden next to a pot add a hand job at [TS]

00:59:33   that's your competition you need to have [TS]

00:59:35   something in there that's going to say [TS]

00:59:37   this has the seal of approval from the [TS]

00:59:38   monks we know that this is exactly how [TS]

00:59:41   fucked up you can expect this person to [TS]

00:59:42   be except the problem with that is that [TS]

00:59:45   all relationships are based on lies [TS]

00:59:47   why shouldn't they be based on lies from [TS]

00:59:49   the very GetGo we say that like it's a [TS]

00:59:51   bad thing John [TS]

00:59:52   but but but i think i think at least you [TS]

00:59:54   could do something now for example you [TS]

00:59:55   got the usepa people don't love the [TS]

00:59:57   usepa they say nikal is a known card [TS]

00:59:57   usepa they say nikal is a known card [TS]

01:00:00   tension right so they put in a level of [TS]

01:00:02   safety of like a 10 x 400 x depending on [TS]

01:00:05   how dangerous they think it could be [TS]

01:00:06   based on the weight of evidence right [TS]

01:00:07   they say hey look we're probably being [TS]

01:00:09   safer than we need to be but we don't [TS]

01:00:12   want you pulling coins out of your [TS]

01:00:13   pocket and dying from cancer so we're [TS]

01:00:15   going to keep that in line I think [TS]

01:00:16   that's what we do here we have a margin [TS]

01:00:18   of error based on weight of evidence and [TS]

01:00:21   it's clear you may be way more fucking [TS]

01:00:22   bananas then we can even see from this [TS]

01:00:24   Tribunal we may add an order of [TS]

01:00:26   magnitude to that and I think that's [TS]

01:00:27   reflected in the ad [TS]

01:00:28   I think it's true i think it'll say so [TS]

01:00:30   right there maybe maybe it maybe there's [TS]

01:00:32   a little bad for your bat shit crazy or [TS]

01:00:34   something there's something there that [TS]

01:00:36   gives people a quick indication it's the [TS]

01:00:38   equivalent of I can you can see what i'm [TS]

01:00:39   doing right here but imagine me holding [TS]

01:00:41   my my love my love em holding my left [TS]

01:00:44   hand up vertically and we're making an [TS]

01:00:46   e6 while I point at my hand like the [TS]

01:00:48   other person can't see it [TS]

01:00:50   alright see ya thank you so much for [TS]

01:00:52   describing that I think it I think it [TS]

01:00:55   helped a lot of people including the [TS]

01:00:56   people who are placing the ads but [TS]

01:00:58   here's the here's the thing you show up [TS]

01:00:59   you show up for a date that from [TS]

01:01:02   somebody that you met on an Internet the [TS]

01:01:04   dating service and it turns out that [TS]

01:01:06   person is 75 pounds heavier than the [TS]

01:01:09   heaviest picture that they put on their [TS]

01:01:12   profile just in the party photographed [TS]

01:01:14   1-75 extra pounds of face that they put [TS]

01:01:17   me put a picture of themselves from when [TS]

01:01:20   they were 15 and now they're 40 and they [TS]

01:01:23   and their 80 pounds have here [TS]

01:01:25   excuse me mrs. that Garrett type [TS]

01:01:27   happened and the thing is most of the [TS]

01:01:30   people showing up [TS]

01:01:32   uh on that date have also like they're [TS]

01:01:35   also fatter than that then the fans [TS]

01:01:36   picture on their profile and in some [TS]

01:01:38   cases the it only takes them a second to [TS]

01:01:43   readjust their filters so that they they [TS]

01:01:45   no longer the they you know they say [TS]

01:01:48   reevaluate so that all of a sudden maybe [TS]

01:01:51   they found their perfect mate [TS]

01:01:52   whereas if they had read the if they had [TS]

01:01:54   read the profile and the profile had [TS]

01:01:56   been ruthlessly true they never would [TS]

01:01:58   have made the trip because in their own [TS]

01:02:00   mind they're much better looking and [TS]

01:02:02   much smelter than then they actually are [TS]

01:02:05   now this is what I mean I don't think [TS]

01:02:08   i'm going to just add a great disagree [TS]

01:02:10   because i think you put in addition I do [TS]

01:02:12   not agree to disagree [TS]

01:02:13   ok that about well I never agree to [TS]

01:02:15   disagree neither do i I was there [TS]

01:02:17   disagree or I will agree but i will not [TS]

01:02:19   agree to disagree [TS]

01:02:21   think about the famous example though [TS]

01:02:22   right let's say let's say that you were [TS]

01:02:24   someone who could be loved just [TS]

01:02:27   hypothetically and somebody your family [TS]

01:02:29   says maybe uncle joe says hey I really [TS]

01:02:32   want you to meet Hortense you should [TS]

01:02:35   meet my friend Hortense then you go and [TS]

01:02:37   tell me a little more about Hortense [TS]

01:02:38   says she's very sweet she's got a great [TS]

01:02:40   personality good cook makes around close [TS]

01:02:42   right right i like her so far okay [TS]

01:02:45   because you like to eat [TS]

01:02:46   I do and you know somebody who makes [TS]

01:02:48   their own clothes that they're great to [TS]

01:02:50   have after the zombie apocalypse [TS]

01:02:53   that's a good point you know what I [TS]

01:02:55   gotta rethink this I'm just saying that [TS]

01:02:57   you're not gonna hear a lot of asterisks [TS]

01:02:58   and all that right [TS]

01:03:00   mm I'm just saying now with his name [TS]

01:03:04   uncle Rico or whatever his name is when [TS]

01:03:05   he presents that he might think he's [TS]

01:03:07   doing her a big favor [TS]

01:03:09   I think he's I think as they say he's [TS]

01:03:10   damn her with faint praise right he's [TS]

01:03:12   under selling her right [TS]

01:03:14   I think if he says it's a very heavy [TS]

01:03:15   girl who probably won't break up with [TS]

01:03:17   you you're going to think a little [TS]

01:03:18   harder but maybe saying yes plz but this [TS]

01:03:20   was this depends on how many times [TS]

01:03:22   you've had sex okay that should not be [TS]

01:03:25   right in there you think [TS]

01:03:26   well no you can't say that about [TS]

01:03:27   somebody else but about it if if you're [TS]

01:03:30   talking about me personally or talk [TS]

01:03:32   about a hypothetical guy like your [TS]

01:03:34   hypothetical American guy has had sex [TS]

01:03:37   with what the five different women other [TS]

01:03:42   people you mean five different people [TS]

01:03:44   other than himself [TS]

01:03:45   ok so you know here's he has had sex [TS]

01:03:50   with enough people that he has a sense [TS]

01:03:51   of what it out how it works and he's [TS]

01:03:55   seen five different naked bodies and [TS]

01:03:57   some bodies on the Internet has a [TS]

01:03:59   general picture of how this all goes [TS]

01:04:03   down [TS]

01:04:04   he could see himself in the seat of that [TS]

01:04:05   car exactly so here [TS]

01:04:07   here comes here comes to Hortense and [TS]

01:04:10   she's uh she's anywhere from you know [TS]

01:04:14   being a us very skinny girl to being a [TS]

01:04:18   large girl she's a she's anywhere from [TS]

01:04:20   being a pretty girl to being a [TS]

01:04:22   an interesting-looking person she [TS]

01:04:24   described herself as often she if she's [TS]

01:04:27   the Cece she's a smart girl she speaks a [TS]

01:04:29   little Yiddish time and and so a guy [TS]

01:04:34   sees himself and me and the a likes her [TS]

01:04:36   that she gets his jokes she makes her [TS]

01:04:38   own clothes and he thinks is this going [TS]

01:04:41   to be good at this sex that we're gonna [TS]

01:04:44   have is going to be good and he has that [TS]

01:04:46   he only had sort of a general sense [TS]

01:04:48   impression about what that is even what [TS]

01:04:49   that was even asking himself is this [TS]

01:04:51   going to be good i don't know has even [TS]

01:04:53   as even had good sex before maybe this [TS]

01:04:55   is the best sex of his life he can trust [TS]

01:04:58   that would say duff mckagan right i mean [TS]

01:05:01   tough Kagan's had sex with a lot of [TS]

01:05:03   girls and it's it's the the standard of [TS]

01:05:31   fascination with somebody for somebody [TS]

01:07:16   say the best female companions it in my [TS]

01:07:19   life have ever been across a a a [TS]

01:07:24   spectrum of body types and looks you [TS]

01:07:28   know you wouldn't you wouldn't look at [TS]

01:07:29   them and say that they all look the same [TS]

01:07:32   or that they were all equally endowed or [TS]

01:07:36   equally pretty but but they have the the [TS]

01:07:42   good ones really have differentiated [TS]

01:07:44   themselves from the from the other ones [TS]

01:07:46   and you're sticking with deceit you [TS]

01:07:48   stick your story that you've had a lot [TS]

01:08:22   did that a couple times but who knows [TS]

01:08:24   maybe he's had bad luck you know right [TS]

01:08:26   there they were headed there you [TS]

01:08:28   probably had somebody to be gay really [TS]

01:08:30   know unless they were already already [TS]

01:08:34   kicking the tires but if they were [TS]

01:08:36   already kicking the tires that you [TS]

01:08:37   didn't it's not like you pushed him over [TS]

01:08:38   the edge I don't think [TS]

01:08:41   adding maybe maybe you could be may be [TS]

01:08:44   could be in a relationship just like you [TS]

01:08:46   know this is not only is this not [TS]

01:08:49   working out really i don't even like [TS]

01:08:51   your parts i don't want to see your [TS]

01:08:56   parts on anybody else I don't want to [TS]

01:08:58   see anybody with your parts [TS]

01:09:00   mm I don't see that happening when parts [TS]

01:09:03   or parts [TS]

01:09:04   hmm yeah you feel that way about guitars [TS]

01:09:07   after a while I do I again I think it's [TS]

01:09:11   a thing it's a maturity thing when [TS]

01:09:13   you're a young person you play whatever [TS]

01:09:15   guitar you can get and a certain point [TS]

01:09:17   you spend a lot of time talking about [TS]

01:09:19   guitars and oh you only will play this [TS]

01:09:22   kind of guitar [TS]

01:09:23   oh it's only this guitar on that guitar [TS]

01:09:25   in this guitar and then a certain point [TS]

01:09:28   when you've been playing guitar for a [TS]

01:09:29   long time you just somebody hands you [TS]

01:09:31   guitar you play the guitar you hehe yeah [TS]

01:09:34   I reach for whatever guitar is closest [TS]

01:09:35   to me and if I'm if I am showing up to a [TS]

01:09:38   gig and somebody says oh I've got a [TS]

01:09:40   guitar you can use an amp you can use I [TS]

01:09:44   don't really even ask that many [TS]

01:09:45   questions about what is going to be [TS]

01:09:47   there I'm like okay I assume that the [TS]

01:09:49   guitar and the amp are going to be [TS]

01:09:51   within the range that I can make it work [TS]

01:09:53   and I don't you know the the years and [TS]

01:09:56   years i said i spent sitting on a chair [TS]

01:09:57   discourse about her about the difference [TS]

01:10:01   between a 55 Telecaster and 56 [TS]

01:10:04   telecaster like I could give a care now [TS]

01:10:08   I don't most of that most of that [TS]

01:10:10   knowledge most of that guitar knowledge [TS]

01:10:12   has sort of just drained out my ear [TS]

01:10:14   because I don't that isn't the [TS]

01:10:17   profession that I decided to pursue mhm [TS]

01:10:19   the guy who sits on a chair and [TS]

01:10:21   appraises your guitar and and I spent [TS]

01:10:26   all I spent so many years working in [TS]

01:10:28   guitar stores where a guy would come in [TS]

01:10:30   and say yeah you know I bought this 56 [TS]

01:10:33   strap but it's really not the tone [TS]

01:10:35   I've been playing it for about six [TS]

01:10:36   months showing up at own i'm looking for [TS]

01:10:38   and I think I want to trade it for a 55 [TS]

01:10:40   les paul goldtop and both of these [TS]

01:10:44   guitars even then were [TS]

01:10:46   twenty-five-thousand-dollar 30,000 our [TS]

01:10:49   guitars this is you know 15 years ago [TS]

01:10:51   now they're been off the charts with [TS]

01:10:54   these guitars cons but at the time they [TS]

01:10:55   were still expensive and i'm looking at [TS]

01:10:57   this guy like wow you got a 56 strat and [TS]

01:11:02   it didn't have the tone you were looking [TS]

01:11:03   for right you must be a guitar wizard [TS]

01:11:08   you must be a scientist of guitar sound [TS]

01:11:10   like a little read Zappa level of picky [TS]

01:11:13   absolutely like it like totally as Abba [TS]

01:11:16   right somebody that's just like I can't [TS]

01:11:18   get that this guitar has a notch at 14 [TS]

01:11:21   Hertz or whatever and I just and I can't [TS]

01:11:24   even bear to hear it and so I would take [TS]

01:11:26   this stratocaster out of his hands [TS]

01:11:28   perfect strategy a tweet case and it go [TS]

01:11:31   get this gold top out of the case and [TS]

01:11:33   handed to him any plug into an ambien [TS]

01:11:36   and it he who would seriously these guys [TS]

01:11:39   would play smoke on the water you know [TS]

01:11:41   and they even made play smoke on the [TS]

01:11:43   water without any so like okay and err [TS]

01:11:46   err err err sounds good man that's [TS]

01:11:57   awesome that's the one for me and they [TS]

01:11:59   would trade this you know they trade [TS]

01:12:00   this guitar in for the other guitar they [TS]

01:12:02   put an extra five grand on the table or [TS]

01:12:04   something like that and out they go [TS]

01:12:05   happy as can be with this guitar that [TS]

01:12:07   has the tone they're looking for and I [TS]

01:12:10   swear to you I it it burned out the the [TS]

01:12:16   part of my brain that believed that tone [TS]

01:12:19   was even a thing like it burn it burn [TS]

01:12:22   that out of me when I was like you know [TS]

01:12:24   screw you [TS]

01:12:26   good Kurt Cobain play univox above $75 [TS]

01:12:30   univox through a boss ds-1 and that is [TS]

01:12:37   play through that stuff it's so shitty [TS]

01:12:40   and yet [TS]

01:12:42   he's like going out guitar tone so I I [TS]
