confused by how to make and save and

not handle them well or consistently

►
can never get it just play again
◼
►
mm there's some there's some writing
◼
►
encryption me and you know it's weird

►
because sometimes you know i'll just
◼
►
copy and paste the link and sometimes it
◼
►
works and sometimes it goes to a page
◼
►
and sometimes but you know start up
◼
►
start off easy start easy easy that's
◼
►
what I'm gonna start start off do you
◼
►
back your phone up John I I should
◼
►
probably ask the software feedback phone
◼
►
up to me and do I back that phone you
◼
►
ball ball ball ball and hip-hop song uh
◼
►
i think it is a reference to an idea
◼
►
back to the throne of part of ecology
◼
►
get a little plug or get a little iCloud
◼
►
mhm have you ever had someone back and
◼
►
oh uh i was at a bachelor party one time
◼
►
that I'd love to forget your hat now you
◼
►
know you even said those words I want to
◼
►
yeah i still think about it once a month
◼
►
and I i shudder at 10 what did terrible
◼
►
things at that and I didn't enjoy it
◼
►
spend a little more than I should it
◼
►
wasn't fun i iu we've been in a strip
◼
►
yes you know it's not my thing I know it
◼
►
isn't you you i think i am probably the
◼
►
greatest I'm the one they should have
◼
►
dollars put into his underpants because
◼
►
it's quite a show to watch how
◼
►
manifestly uncomfortable I am and I
◼
►
can't even begin to hide it
◼
►
if i can recall correctly you sit with
◼
►
your knees together pressed together
◼
►
with briefcase on your lap and I don't
◼
►
mean like flat on your lap I mean
◼
►
standing up like popcorn yet with your
◼
►
hand that's what your hands on the lock
◼
►
yeah just waiting for the waiting to
◼
►
look looking through the gloom for an
◼
►
yeah if it's a lot like my posture from
◼
►
my early days of going to Amateur improv
◼
►
shows right just kind of have this this
◼
►
rictus of a smile on my face as i gently
◼
►
rock back and forth haha alright I'm
◼
►
gonna need something you find about room
◼
►
and it's a topping and while we can
◼
►
comfortably now to know my god you know
◼
►
dick jokes are funny just do dick jokes
◼
►
but i'll try to make that improv
◼
►
boop-boop-boop-boop Nick and go tell me
◼
►
yes you there do you do you remember
◼
►
yes you do yes you wake up in the
◼
►
morning and you remember your dreams i
◼
►
can remember my dream from last night
◼
►
and you remember it clearly
◼
►
parts of it there's an entire episode of
◼
►
the show John syracuse about this
◼
►
because he is utterly perplexed by why
◼
►
anybody would want to remember and
◼
►
record the SE calls it brain garbage
◼
►
that his dreams i'm intrigued by dreams
◼
►
i don't find meaningful but i'm
◼
►
intrigued by them like for example last
◼
►
night i was eating fast food and I had
◼
►
made friends with a comically large
◼
►
fuzzy bear and the bear walked in front
◼
►
of the restaurant was in and wave to me
◼
►
and had the voice of Leslie Jones so
◼
►
that's a nice feeling for me I like
◼
►
why would you be pals with with a big
◼
►
grizzly bear the talk Leslie Jones I am
◼
►
I don't know that bear but yeah that's
◼
►
wonderful and it do dreams fade
◼
►
throughout the day so by the end of the
◼
►
day you're kinda like and it was a bear
◼
►
named chocolate Leslie Jones but early
◼
►
curious aj lee curious about this get a
◼
►
little bit i'm fucking really curious ok
◼
►
yes uh what happens is i will have
◼
►
dreams very intense training for what
◼
►
feels like a long time and then I wake
◼
►
up and I've been made a practice of
◼
►
trying to go back into the dream and I
◼
►
have a methodology that i use for that
◼
►
but to answer your question specifically
◼
►
yes it does faith through the day but
◼
►
Allah the phenomenon of 11 primacy and
◼
►
recency i'm not sure i remember dreams
◼
►
from the night before as i'm going to
◼
►
oh you know what I mean not primacy and
◼
►
recency what it's called
◼
►
look at your local sprint I it's when
◼
►
you're able to remember a dream but no
◼
►
they must be fate sometimes I write them
◼
►
down and they're very very silly how
◼
►
successful have you been in pursuing a
◼
►
lucid dreaming strategy ec not very we
◼
►
should talk to our friend grant about
◼
►
this because I think grant made quite a
◼
►
study of this a long time and knows lots
◼
►
about it you're talking about grand ball
◼
►
yeah you south africa south african
◼
►
Germanic tribe and I have been very
◼
►
actually I hate to admit it because you
◼
►
know and I feel like we're getting more
◼
►
jalan territory a little bit more jalan
◼
►
ya but I I'm yeah I'm very interested in
◼
►
that idea cause probably it's I mean I
◼
►
accept the idea that what we call a
◼
►
dream I just as my daughter and is
◼
►
trying to describe like the you know
◼
►
that what what i mean by brain garbage
◼
►
which is that you bring you know your
◼
►
mom your mind is a brain is doing lots
◼
►
of filing and lots of people going out
◼
►
yeah if you're sleeping enough stuff is
◼
►
happening and the thing is it's not
◼
►
garbage in the sense that it all useless
◼
►
images but it is a fairly weird soon as
◼
►
i understand it fairly weird random
◼
►
synaptic mismatch like why did I
◼
►
suddenly think of this person that I met
◼
►
one time yeah 92 in a drunk drunk drunk
◼
►
in bed spring garbage that fascinated by
◼
►
did you ever work in her in like a in a
◼
►
job where you filed things
◼
►
yes right you're good at this you could
◼
►
always find amazing lots file yeah i
◼
►
could write amazing class file well I
◼
►
just think of it as like files files
◼
►
files on you know its files all the way
◼
►
mvi find it there's certain kinds of
◼
►
things i think this is one way in which
◼
►
are probably more alike than different
◼
►
there are certain kinds of what other
◼
►
people consider mindless tasks that I
◼
►
really enjoy i enjoy sorting Legos
◼
►
oh yeah always black just sit just when
◼
►
you just said that yeah I realized that
◼
►
there's an emptiness in me how well we
◼
►
sort them all we sort them by size will
◼
►
sort them by color while we sort them by
◼
►
kit we sort them by how often they're
◼
►
used without sort of like the right
◼
►
that's lame I know but I mean we take
◼
►
the little things that could be used as
◼
►
lights are flowers and put them into
◼
►
this little of this little of tackle box
◼
►
that I don't have a zero this i don't
◼
►
have a bit of Legos so right now so I
◼
►
don't have a tackle box
◼
►
Oh as you know I have several several
◼
►
tackle box style boxes
◼
►
yes full of political pins and other
◼
►
things that probably many of our friends
◼
►
would consider garbage but these are
◼
►
your cigar box type system
◼
►
well except i have other i have larger
◼
►
boxes bigger than cigar boxes that are
◼
►
not meant for like tied flies exactly
◼
►
but like you but there but they are
◼
►
there are cut different from like
◼
►
somebody's a little wooden wall
◼
►
decoration where they keep all their
◼
►
symbols like we're not talking about
◼
►
like a like a box on the wall boxes what
◼
►
we call that doesn't look that good
◼
►
yeah some kind of display memento mori
◼
►
uh yeah I know you're very popular
◼
►
culture their ménage when we were kids
◼
►
those are very popular we had some
◼
►
friends that had 14 there late lamented
◼
►
dog and a photo and his favorite chew
◼
►
toy and that was on the wall
◼
►
yeah and the the symbol remember in this
◼
►
in the seventies people displayed their
◼
►
symbols or there you know the the little
◼
►
uns spoons right or the bells that you
◼
►
would get in truck stops yes
◼
►
gates you need a box for that stuff well
◼
►
this my collections if you if if you'll
◼
►
allow me he seemed not in those but in a
◼
►
similar like structure but it has a
◼
►
glass lid so so you can see the stuff
◼
►
and I don't mount them on the wall I
◼
►
keep them stacked Oh like you know like
◼
►
a like a modified little map rack but
◼
►
miniature I like the sound of that full
◼
►
of pins who but I don't have I have I
◼
►
have not solved the legos conundrum
◼
►
uh-huh because legos our thing obviously
◼
►
to me as they are to you and to everyone
◼
►
and I I desperately want Legos in my
◼
►
life again i think probably seventy
◼
►
percent of the reason i was excited
◼
►
about having a kid was that I could get
◼
►
legos back in my life
◼
►
it trains and legos trains and legos
◼
►
but when i go to the store to shop for
◼
►
legos when I go to the lego store to
◼
►
shop for legs when I make pilgrimages to
◼
►
uh-huh i become so confused and baffled
◼
►
and dismayed by what i find that Lego
◼
►
stores by which i mean they're Shh
◼
►
fucking shit tastic expensive
◼
►
yeah it is they're entirely built around
◼
►
kit this brainless a whole like brand
◼
►
and marketing thing that like I I don't
◼
►
want to build an Eiffel Tower I want a
◼
►
box of legos and and then you can go to
◼
►
those places where they have the legos
◼
►
independently in bins they're like
◼
►
fourteen dollars apiece and incredibly
◼
►
costly and uh and so I don't know where
◼
►
to begin i wander around the lego store
◼
►
for like two and a half hours i pull
◼
►
things down and like if I took this like
◼
►
Lego princess castle apart would i be
◼
►
able or can you make other things with
◼
►
them and then I i leave empty-handed
◼
►
I've gone online yeah and I've said sell
◼
►
me your 1979 like like wash tub full of
◼
►
legos which is what I'm imagining IV is
◼
►
but I've never pulled the trigger on one
◼
►
are you looking more at first of all if
◼
►
you'll permit me I will I will gift you
◼
►
with something today i will send it to
◼
►
you through the Amazon like I'd like to
◼
►
do that for you are you interested in
◼
►
just a whole bunch of classic like what
◼
►
eight nubbin legos that kind of thing
◼
►
you want classic bricks you're not
◼
►
looking for a lot of Liberty tivity
◼
►
ok Oh was looking at right here it's a
◼
►
good one is the lego classic large
◼
►
creative brick box this is 790 pieces
◼
►
looks like a lock it comes with a lot of
◼
►
standard old stop bricks many different
◼
►
colors it comes with wheels
◼
►
it comes with screens it comes with
◼
►
windows and doors you can make houses
◼
►
that's nice but it's just a big-ass box
◼
►
shaped like a Lego that has 790 pieces
◼
►

◼
►

◼
►
classics and base plate on which you can

◼
►

◼
►
your daughter get into duplo at all
◼
►
well we did get into duplo and we built
◼
►
things out of duplo several princess
◼
►
castles as you can imagine yeah yeah we
◼
►
built she likes to build rooms and you
◼
►
know bedrooms and kitchens and garages
◼
►
and bridges but the duplos just didn't
◼
►
have the precision yeah well therefore
◼
►
you know they're for little hands
◼
►
yeah and then people started giving her
◼
►
lego gifts but they were like here's a
◼
►
like a like cool motorcycle mama she's
◼
►
got a she's got a dirt bike and this is
◼
►
a little it's like a little diorama
◼
►
right there's a palm tree there's a tent
◼
►
where she's spending the night
◼
►
there's a motorcycle and then there are
◼
►
50 tiny tiny little chocobo ball
◼
►
talkable upon little things like here's
◼
►
her little who's her little matchbook
◼
►
yeah I'm here's her little you know like
◼
►
her magnifying glass and sounds like the
◼
►
franchise called friends which is seems
◼
►
super lame but has some of the best
◼
►
weirdo pieces ever but they know they're
◼
►
always gonna say about to play was the
◼
►
cool thing because they lay
◼
►
no and they're awesome to delay the
◼
►
duplo and the with accommodating size
◼
►
pieces with bricks you can use your
◼
►
DUPLO and your Lego to get there
◼
►
No so if in our case we got it we got a
◼
►
butt ton of big bricks so if you don't
◼
►

◼
►
wall your fortification you could make
◼
►
that a duplos and then you can get sexy
◼
►
it up with you know turrets mom is crazy
◼
►
I thought the same thing occurred to me
◼
►
one day this is Lego I should see if
◼
►
this works now doesn't work for him it's
◼
►
gotta be the same size and everything
◼
►
they do work together it's it's kind of
◼
►
so are you still at a five-digit address
◼
►

◼
►

◼
►
get the classic large creative brick box
◼
►
10 698 the classics and base plate and
◼
►
the classic green base plate supplement
◼
►
me i do that i mean that's that's that's
◼
►
wonderful it's wonderful thoughtful of
◼
►
you to do this just to try and solve my
◼
►
lego connect I'm not trying to solve
◼
►
anything I just want you to have legos
◼
►
because because you know here's the
◼
►
um here's the thing it depends it's a
◼
►
Sisyphean task let all things involving
◼
►
well I'm like everything i do i use the
◼
►
word Mississippi in 15 times a day to
◼
►
describe something I just did write it
◼
►
just keeps rolling back down synthesis
◼
►
of this is all the way down every every
◼
►
day I mean I'm so i should say she's a
◼
►
way of this color entire enter cock but
◼
►
warehouses professionally cleaned on
◼
►
Friday our entire entire living room
◼
►
table is currently covered with Lego ah
◼
►
it was professionally cleaned in order
◼
►
to make a clean a gar base you know what
◼
►
a kid loves to mess up more than
◼
►
anything a professionally cleaned room
◼
►
right uh-huh perfectly professionally
◼
►
clean the room and I want to I want to
◼
►
get to the Sisyphus but just here's the
◼
►
thing this it depends on I've said this
◼
►
before you know as you know I'm a
◼
►
Productivity to retire productivity cool
◼
►
i think a big part of success in one's
◼
►
career is to figure out what about one's
◼
►
occupation is necessarily hard because
◼
►
that is the reason as they say you get
◼
►
is this part of it is necessary dip
◼
►
necessarily difficult and there's a
◼
►
reason that not everybody can or will do
◼
►
it like some people are really good at
◼
►
fixing automobiles and other people
◼
►
right excellent pop songs or
◼
►
what-have-you then you have to figure
◼
►
out the part of your job that is not
◼
►
necessarily difficult but you find to be
◼
►
difficult and can you improve that and
◼
►
the part of success is figuring out how
◼
►
much you can tolerate the stuff that's
◼
►
difficult but not making your job good
◼
►
how much this stuff is difficult to fix
◼
►
you see where I'm going with this
◼
►
I'm sorry this goes for parenting to so
◼
►
if you just happen to be a person who
◼
►
likes sorting legos but don't mind that
◼
►
it won't matter in 10 minutes that they
◼
►
were organized you're good to go
◼
►
problem is if you think that the the
◼
►
flower light nubbins should always stay
◼
►
in this drawer and you think you know
◼
►
pretty soon I was a guy in the lego
◼
►
movie and you're you put the kragle over
◼
►
everything right and then this guy over
◼
►
here yet this would die I would not
◼
►
tolerate racism i have of I have the
◼
►
ball in the course of time
◼
►
yeah basically evolutionary biology John
◼
►
i have personally evolved into a
◼
►
different species because of evolution
◼
►
right i have naturally selected within
◼
►
oh you talk about that the the hidden
◼
►
arm that that causes evolution you've
◼
►
been you've been armed and the Armed
◼
►
upon I think what I think it's the will
◼
►
of something that wants to evolve in its
◼
►
next-generation that wills that
◼
►
evolution to happen right that wills the
◼
►
natural selection to take place in a
◼
►
certain way by by virtue of choosing
◼
►
yeah so it's something like Lobster has
◼
►
uh well a lobster is just a mosquito
◼
►
that evolved into a lobster em right the
◼
►
person skeet oh it's interesting at acc
◼
►
well it sort of it you know something
◼
►
let's call it landed on the water was
◼
►
like nice and then said in the future I
◼
►
hope my kids can swim
◼
►
haha and then those kids were swimmers
◼
►
oh you want you want better for your
◼
►
kids yeah and then the swimmer kids were
◼
►
like what's on the bottom
◼
►
uh-huh one day I hope that my kids can
◼
►
swim to the bottom and then they did
◼
►
their kill you what I'm tired of having
◼
►
the the short life of my progenitors I
◼
►
would like my kids to live longer than
◼
►
me maybe upwards of a hundred years
◼
►
well somewhere along the line some
◼
►
mosquito I don't know whether it was
◼
►
intentional whether they just went to
◼
►
the bottom because they're looking for
◼
►
parole so who and then realize that the
◼
►
cold water kept them live longer
◼
►
ok or whether on the surface the
◼
►
mosquito the the the proto mosquito

►
behavior it's insane you could if you
◼
►
tied a copper wire around the top of the
◼
►
first man bun you saw who
◼
►

◼
►
I'm very thin copper wire as you're

►
walking every time you saw a bun on a
◼
►
man-woman a top bottom i'm talking about

►
not a back button sure you wrap the
◼
►
copper wire one more time around the
◼
►
next one you saw and then you let those
◼
►
people keep going you're spooning wire
◼
►
wrap it around everybody you see for an
◼
►
hour and you know your your kind of
◼
►
trying to make somewhat of a loop

►
uh-huh you run back into the first

►
wrap that copper wire around their
◼
►
button one more time you made a Tesla

◼
►
dream right there right and it is
◼
►
happening in LA right now always
◼

►
yeah and-and-and you and there are so
◼
►
many man button circles in India of
◼
►
yeah that people could be taking
◼
►
advantage of here and there not so many
◼
►
I mean obviously I've made a big I've
◼
►
made a big to-do about how California
◼
►
coffee culture drives me crazy
◼
►

◼
►
to be to be insane about down here that
◼
►
I can't even worry about the coffee pot
◼
►
I went to a whole foods in California
◼
►

◼
►
foods is that everybody is very angry
◼
►
yeah impatient angry there were some
◼
►
people walking around to just be
◼
►
shouting which seems normal but then
◼
►
there were other people that were
◼
►
shouting at others it was just a very
◼
►
tense situation I was like hey man we're
◼
►

◼
►
slice of meatloaf and macaroni that's
◼
►
like 60 bucks yeah you know back in the
◼
►
touring days Mike Squires used to he
◼
►
went through a phase where he decided on
◼
►
tour he was only going to eat food that
◼
►
was from out from the hot case in in gas
◼
►
stations so we would drive and we pull
◼
►
into a gas me up that's it that's a such
◼
►
well this was it was my sister thought
◼
►
experiment yeah I was during Mike's you
◼
►
know period of like how much self-hate
◼
►
can I put into a basket up in mind that
◼
►
and so we pull into a gas station it's
◼
►
like you know everybody jumps out you
◼
►
can go get a bottle of water or you can
◼
►
p get a coffee or whatever she could get
◼
►
you could get like what's that what's
◼
►
that awesome won the New York Times
◼
►
wrote about you go get that cheddar and
◼
►
sour cream ruffles which I've discovered
◼
►
are possibly the greatest food in the
◼
►
well I'm barfing at the thought shutter
◼
►
sour cream ruffle know he would go in
◼
►
against but there are known things you
◼
►
can get you do not need to explore the
◼
►
spinny meets he so obviously JoJo's
◼
►
jojo's are what time hot cases together
◼
►
and then you've got your community of
◼
►
jets it's just like everywhere is in
◼
►
every job is different don't think that
◼
►
it said that JoJo's are the same so just
◼
►
not ojos and then you've got your little
◼
►
like a in Toronto's or whatever they're
◼
►
not quite like it's not clear what what
◼
►
are their taquitos for legal reasons
◼
►
they have to call them like in Chile
◼
►
thus yeah so there's them and then
◼
►
sometimes yeah right because it all goes
◼
►
in a hot case and a fried chicken
◼
►
sometimes you'll have just a like a
◼
►
German sausage and then all the things
◼
►
that get put into like a bread like a
◼
►
like deep-fried bond right sausage it
◼
►
yeah and then the little hot wrapped
◼
►
sandwiches in tin foil chicken sandwich
◼
►
translate sausage sandwich that fast
◼
►
that sandwich and completely awful
◼
►
that's that's that's making you think we
◼
►
just say it's fast and it's so Squires
◼
►
lived on on hot case for a while and it
◼
►
was like remember and the number but now
◼
►
they'll arrest of a supportive role is
◼
►
just like stop doing this
◼
►
I it was like that mcdonalds guy who ate
◼
►
McDonald's every day for a year except
◼
►
it happened way faster is all the color
◼
►
one of his face except for like red
◼
►
in weight and also lost 100 right he was
◼
►
he was transforming for our eyes you
◼
►
came to smooth did it was a screw
◼
►
everybody was I don't think see you know
◼
►
one thing that we I think we talked
◼
►
about this we're having our we're
◼
►
Chinese lunch but I had this impression
◼
►
that especially when it comes to Asian
◼
►
foods that are served in America a lot
◼
►
of stuff that gets served as first of
◼
►
all yeah heavily americanized to our
◼
►
palates and tastes but also that it's
◼
►
the kind of food that you eat every five
◼
►
years at a wedding on like a tiny plate
◼
►
that you he would not have like all you
◼
►
can eat anything of like what gets
◼
►
served at those kinds of places
◼
►
yeah we yeah we did talk about that
◼
►
right now well my girlfriend who lived
◼
►
in China who was a vegetarian and she
◼
►
would go to these meals and they would
◼
►
serve like a big platter of you meet me
◼
►
parks or whatever and she would say you
◼
►
have any just like vegetables and rice
◼
►
it's kind of what i would prefer they're
◼
►
like what we would never serve an
◼
►
honored guest right the food that we eat
◼
►
every day it's against asleep on the dog
◼
►
yeah she's like no that's what i want
◼
►
just the food that you normally eat
◼
►
there like ha ha fat chance American
◼
►
yeah you're gonna get the we're you need
◼
►
our once-a-year meal and then you go to
◼
►
what I went to my favorite not favorite
◼
►
let's not call her favorite every
◼
►
Christmas Eve for the last dozen years
◼
►
my mom and I made a plan i made a made a
◼
►
pact a long time ago we were going to
◼
►
play Christmas anymore haha kinda like a
◼
►
family and we went to house of home my
◼
►
mom and I would go to house at home and
◼
►
then we would go to the movies like ten
◼
►
o'clock movie or something on Christmas
◼
►
Eve house of home we'd get some moment
◼
►
fried chicken or whatever you do and
◼
►
then go to the movies and your house a
◼
►
home on Christmas Eve you see all your
◼
►
right everybody everybody in Seattle
◼
►
that wasn't celebrating Christmases is
◼
►
in chinatown so it's a pretty fun time
◼
►
and and house of hong was the reliably
◼
►
bad chinese restaurant right it wasn't i
◼
►
do I know exactly what you mean
◼
►
yeah you wouldn't take your friends
◼
►
there if they were coming in from out of
◼
►
town you wouldn't go it's not a thing
◼
►
you go to on a regular it's just like we
◼
►
want almond fried chicken at
◼
►
eight-thirty p.m. on christmas eve
◼
►
there's no other place to go
◼
►
we went to a song the other night
◼
►
because it was my birthday and my sister
◼
►
want to meet wanted to take me to the
◼
►
House hall we went and it has changed
◼
►
hands over and everything about it is
◼
►
different and like that the old menu had
◼
►
400 things on and the new menu has 40
◼
►
things on and they came and they were
◼
►
and you think that's disappointing I
◼
►
mean if they were it was always meant to
◼
►
be no good but their network in the
◼
►
passage of time by the little things
◼
►
that go away like that
◼
►
yeah like whatever you remember house of
◼
►
all remember all the Christmases weekend
◼
►
I was talking about this just this one
◼
►

◼
►
this week where there's like all these
◼
►
restaurants that we used to go to on a
◼
►
regular basis that are just they're just
◼
►

◼
►

◼
►
little stories etc was was a was the the
◼
►
place that every single hipster on in in
◼
►
first on saturday and sunday mornings
◼
►
there were very few hipsters then so
◼
►
they could all fit in one restaurant
◼
►
that's convenient but I had that I had
◼
►
that experience one time of walking down
◼
►
the street somebody that i vaguely knew
◼
►
bumped into me and said hey come and
◼
►
have breakfast with me at stories etc I
◼
►
was like sure didn't you know definitely
◼
►
know that person but have good feelings
◼
►
about that who went in and they were
◼
►
meeting two friends both of whom were
◼
►
like the very charming pretty young
◼
►
girls i was a young man at the time
◼
►
mocha we sat down at the table and I
◼
►
just had one of those magic mornings i
◼
►
was i was hungover right so I had that
◼
►
yeah that can sometimes be upon a person
◼
►
when they're hungover second loss a
◼
►
special extra drink because he get a
◼
►
certain kind of the department toward
◼
►
the world that can be that can be kind
◼
►
of nice can be kind of relaxing too kind
◼
►
of house you down a little bit and this
◼
►
was one of those mornings it was just
◼
►
like that that time when you walk into a
◼
►
bar and your pool game is just on top
◼
►
and you're just school and everybody in
◼
►
pool and you're chill about it and so
◼
►
everybody in the bar is just loving you
◼
►
by the end of the night because you
◼
►
can't miss but you get but you got
◼
►
nothing invested in it because you're
◼
►
like I've never seen this before but
◼
►
you're not but you don't give your
◼
►
secret away either who just like one
◼
►
play another game pow pow
◼
►
it only lasts the spell is very brief
◼
►
yes last for one night but this was one
◼
►
of those mornings where i sat at this
◼
►
table and I just I actually charmed the
◼
►
clothes off of all three of these people
◼
►
in the restaurant is it was JJ contends
◼
►
what's called it was a Tory zeg cetera
◼
►
ok alright and and by the end it was
◼
►
clear that I could take these three
◼
►
people anywhere and have them do
◼
►
anything and instead i stood up at the
◼
►
end of a lovely meal and said this has
◼
►
been lovely to loo before and they said
◼
►
and I was like I must do I must turn on
◼
►
boom and endo and waltz away and I
◼
►
always thought back to how my life would
◼
►
have gone differently if I had just
◼
►
either taken them sliding doors were
◼
►
gone with them yes and instead it was
◼
►
just like this has been perfect
◼
►
I do not want you to know that I'm not
◼
►
this perfect all the time right and so
◼
►
before I say the dumb thing that I
◼
►
surely am about to say before I ruin
◼
►
this before my hangover wears off and
◼
►
all of a sudden I'm talking to you about
◼
►
a world war 1 i'm going to float off and
◼
►
you will always hopefully look at the
◼
►
drinking fountain and remember me
◼
►

◼
►
friend explore Kelly I'm gonna start
◼
►
doing that other people because it

◼
►

◼
►

◼
►

◼
►

◼
►
I keep talking i I'm gonna lose my cool
◼
►
right if I keep talking eventually
◼
►
you're going to look up at the cool
◼
►
barometer and the winds will have
◼
►
changing up and the and a new and
◼
►
depression will have moved in
◼
►
uh-huh and you're like wool my joints
◼
►
hurt all of a sudden and it's because
◼
►
this guy that I thought was amazing has
◼
►
been talking about the battle of the
◼
►
somme the thing though a lot of
◼
►
civilians might understand if you've
◼
►
never been charming in a restaurant is
◼
►
that once you've set that high bar it's
◼
►
extremely disappointed people when you
◼
►
fall off because didn't actually hate
◼
►
it isn't that they go back to neutral
◼
►
feeling it they really hate you after
◼
►
that I think I i'm pretty sure i've told
◼
►
you the story about a the time another
◼
►
charm night when i was walking along
◼
►
with some friends and for some reason i
◼
►
was in a suit my friends weren't and
◼
►

◼
►
also an art gallery and it was closed
◼
►
but the lights were on and music was
◼
►
playing and we walked by and sort of
◼
►
just walked in Walt's to and there were
◼
►
half a dozen girls in there who worked

►
at the pizza parlor was just kind of
◼
►
playing some music having a in wiping
◼
►

◼
►
her hair her hair was like wild and
◼
►
tangled and teased up kinda but not
◼
►

◼
►
that gave the impression that she never
◼
►
called it not that she had ever worked
◼
►
on it for a second man she looked like a
◼
►
lori petty oh except with big hair
◼
►

in that part of your Sisyphean curses is
◼
►
you have a pretty good memory for even
◼
►
stuff you did when you were pretty drunk
◼
►
when I was drinking I never blacked out
◼
►
I never blacked out and I very seldom
◼
►
vomited I that was part of the part of
◼
►
you know every every alcoholic is
◼
►
different right and I was one of those i
◼
►
was a battleship you can put all the
◼
►
booze in me and I would just keep like I
◼
►
was a I was a d-9 caterpillar like I
◼
►
would just gurgurk and never blackout
◼
►
never forget a thing so I saw although i
◼
►
was i was at every horrible bachelor
◼
►
party where everybody was a bachelor
◼
►
right there was no one was getting
◼
►
married anywhere i was just awful times
◼
►
and and all the blood the the
◼
►
blessedness that is that that quality
◼
►
and most people where they wake up the
◼
►
next morning they're like would happened
◼
►
last night I was like I'll tell you what
◼
►
happened what's in here all morning
◼
►
thinking about it is a fucking bloodbath
◼
►
happened like I never went to sleep
◼
►
because I'm just sitting here but
◼
►
replaying the whole it's a nice feeling
◼
►
and and there's a lot of that stuff is
◼
►
still with me right i mean i remember i
◼
►
laid down in an alley one time because i
◼
►
couldn't walk any further and I was like
◼
►
Ali is probably no cars are coming down
◼
►
here on little sleep a little bit little
◼
►
sleepies little sleepers and I laid down
◼
►
in the corner of this alley which was
◼
►
absolutely full of rats it like we're
◼
►
like I found the probably found the
◼
►
place where people pissed the most often
◼
►
for the last hundred and twenty years
◼
►
curled up there but in my moment was
◼
►
aware enough that i took my glasses off
◼
►
and folded them and put them on my night
◼
►
table which was a pile of garbage and
◼
►
when I woke up an hour or two later
◼
►
now it because in the middle of the day
◼
►
this isn't this isn't like it two in the
◼
►
this is two in the afternoon
◼
►
wake up in this hot garbage strewn
◼
►
piston Ali's I'm like yeah it was
◼
►
do-do-do-do-do birthday purchasing at ya
◼
►
still she absolutely shitfaced I stand
◼
►
up and off I go down the street drip
◼
►
interpreter but i forgot my glasses are
◼
►
still on your nightstand so my
◼
►
my vision is blurred enough already that
◼
►
I that it's not like whoa I can't see
◼
►
I'm just like we were purple and I gets
◼
►
wherever somewhere the next place and I
◼
►
go wash at my glasses and we're going up
◼
►
turn around pick our perp corporate lurp
◼
►
back to the alley classes are gone now
◼
►
no one uses who steals a pair of garbage
◼
►
class and these were glasses that I had
◼
►
made because a friend of mine worked as
◼
►
a like an orderly at the hospital and
◼
►
they and he came home and he was like
◼
►
there's a program at the hospital at
◼
►
where they make glasses free for poor
◼
►
people and I was like that's me and so I
◼
►
had I went because I didn't have glasses
◼
►
at the time and then went and had my
◼
►
glasses made and they were amazing
◼
►
because this was an era where I think
◼
►
you remember this time sometime in the
◼
►
nineties where all of the shop classes
◼
►
and like government-issue glasses that
◼
►
they made in the in proliferation back
◼
►
in 1961 they were all just like 25 cents
◼
►
apiece and this government program to
◼
►
make glasses for people had the these
◼
►
incredible fifties style like black on
◼
►
top clear on the bottom
◼
►
all right out like a style that would
◼
►
become it's almost like that with the
◼
►
column in in England NIH classes
◼
►
yeah then became kind of fashionable
◼
►
like Morrissey glasses that's right yeah
◼
►
and it was a pain where those you know
◼
►
those glasses were fashionable because
◼
►
they were they were cheap but you know
◼
►
free but I lost that pair of glasses and
◼
►
who would pick up that would pick up a
◼
►
pair of glasses from that fucking pistol
◼
►
i don't know probably somebody else they
◼
►
stopped by to sleep there or maybe it
◼
►
was the little bird maybe it was the
◼
►
song is somebody else's bed and that was
◼
►
yeah that could be with all these
◼
►
glasses doing on my nightstand
◼
►
that's my pilot these will do but that's
◼
►
simply click but like that scene in the
◼
►
new adventures in babysitting
◼
►
oh where the girl takes her glasses off
◼
►
and then the little homeless lady comes
◼
►
by and put someone is like I can see and
◼
►
walks off and then the girl can't then
◼
►
she can't really do remember every she's
◼
►
stuck in the bus station
◼
►
no offense to babysit that sounds like a
◼
►
big part of the adventure it well but
◼
►
it's but she's just a like a she's a
◼
►
tertiary character i sees the one that's
◼
►
like in she's she's the emergency
◼
►
meeting that causes the babysitter to
◼
►
take the kids into chicago I'll see I
◼
►
don't know this story so she's the
◼
►
MacGuffin she's the MacGuffin so they
◼
►
have to have to leave have to leave the
◼
►
comfort of their suburban like John
◼
►
Hughes neighborhood huh
◼
►
and she has to take these three
◼
►
oh one of them the oldest the little boy
◼
►
is younger enough than her that he needs
◼
►
yeah he's old enough to be in love with
◼
►
her I know that one and then the little
◼
►
the little girl is a she's you know not
◼
►
very old six or something seven but
◼
►
she's in love with four but the
◼
►
comic-book care who and so she spends

◼
►
nineties probably know it ladies but
◼
►
somebody you least expect it is an actor
◼
►
yes okay uh you know I i can guess I'm
◼
►
just gonna jump right in
◼
►
go Vincent D'Onofrio it's D'Onofrio huh
◼
►
it's an interesting career okay now I'll
◼
►
let myself look it up and operate at
◼
►
that very same moment was also playing
◼
►
the guy in Full Metal Jacket who was
◼
►
Laurel and Hardy had already been the
◼
►
bodyguard wasn't ours at the other guy
◼
►
that's the other guy that's the
◼
►
gamergate guy he was investing our free
◼
►
oh yes he was born again hard ones even
◼
►
before that he was in know he was in was
◼
►
he in them busy men in black was later
◼
►
using men in black with that was later
◼
►
but so you lose them to confuse out in
◼
►
baldwin and mrs. off you know what kind
◼
►
of ball one has that ball Adam Baldwin
◼
►
is like some kind of distillation of
◼
►
baldwin ism down to all the thinking
◼
►
yeah like it's all this stuff about ball
◼
►
one bald ones all the Baldwin ask
◼
►
characteristics but I don't like like I
◼
►
like Alec Baldwin despite all the
◼
►
reasons not to like oh gosh yeah i mean
◼
►
he's one of those he's an American
◼
►
yeah that's right but like all the other
◼
►
bald ones remember when the Baldwin's
◼
►
were a thing like all the balls are huge
◼
►
people talked about the Baldwin's as if
◼
►
it was a good thing that matter they
◼
►
were the lots of the nineties full metal
◼
►
jacket and adventures in babysitting
◼
►
both came out in 1987 is in the ya
◼
►
episode of the equal at two episodes of
◼
►
the equalizer has two different people
◼
►
this is when he was still Vincent Philip
◼
►
D'Onofrio who and then what I next know
◼
►
him and he's in JFK I don't remember
◼
►
that he's in the player i don't remember
◼
►
that but if you look at him I remember
◼
►
him being Orson Welles in Deadwood if
◼
►
you look at a picture of him as for
◼
►
adventures in babysitting right and then
◼
►
you look at a picture of him as the
◼
►
board again hard character same same
◼
►
you realize that Vincent D'Onofrio is
◼
►
greatest American huh
◼
►
oh my goodness look at oh my goodness
◼
►
look at him and then and then he ends up
◼
►
but you know a like new brunswick or
◼
►
whatever the rights on the show we tilt
◼
►
his head a lot but there is thats is
◼
►
that's that that's where he got his
◼
►
start as he's wearing a blue like
◼
►
undershirt and he's got long uh like
◼
►
very blond hair and a red baseball cap
◼
►
baseball cap and he comes down out of
◼
►
some smokies guy he's carrying a big
◼
►
hammer little girl is like it's Thor in
◼
►
he's actually kind of mean who and that
◼
►
thought I mean to your door is very
◼
►
conceited that's how he ran into
◼
►
Oh see I didn't know enough about for ya
◼
►
when i watched adventures in babysitting
◼
►
together now it makes sense that thought
◼
►
when we watch The Avengers my wife
◼
►
turned to me and said stories basically
◼
►
every guy i tried to avoid at parties at
◼
►
santa cruz oh sure you know and so the
◼
►
drama thora story is very conceited he
◼
►
felt pretty positive that he was going
◼
►
to be the heir apparent to Odin and then
◼
►
he got really conceited and that's when
◼
►
he took away my owner and he said he
◼
►
said you can have your stripping of your
◼
►
powers I'm gonna go to earth and you're
◼
►
going to be you're going to be a
◼
►
slightly disabled doctor he was a doctor
◼
►
uh but he's he's stripped of his power
◼
►
instead of his powers he has to earth
◼
►
then he has he figured something out
◼
►
something something he redeemed himself
◼
►
he continues to be a doctor he's got it
◼
►
as he has a walking problem when he
◼
►
smashes his cane really hard on the
◼
►
ground it turns into mill near any meat
◼
►
come store i see that's what we used to
◼
►
do more transformation of the
◼
►
superheroes and Mueller is the hammer
◼
►
mia yah mule near member Mia and Loki is
◼
►
his brother who is also bad
◼
►
oh yeah he's really bad news no see he's
◼
►
the problem the thing is Thor is a dick
◼
►
but look he is perfidious he's disloyal
◼
►
affinity is the worst kind of bad it's
◼
►
the worst kind of disloyalty for sure
◼
►
and so he's he and that's the reason the
◼
►
Avengers were formed fiscal okie who has
◼
►
these be basically is he's escaped from
◼
►
his mental jail that he was put in he
◼
►
goes to earth and he makes it look like
◼
►
a train is going off the tracks he gets
◼
►
into a Bruce banners head and so hawk
◼
►
goes to try and save the train but it
◼
►
looks like he's attacking the train
◼
►
doors are formed in the
◼
►
doors are formed in the
◼
►
circa nineteen sixty-one the Avengers
◼
►
are formed to go after Hulk because he's
◼
►
a bad guy so they bring a man because
◼
►
he's a guy who can send his hands all
◼
►
over the world to find Marcus you know
◼
►
I'm fighting hands right now California
◼
►
oh my goodness you know my sugar ants
◼
►
your you know my experience with north
◼
►
northwest and yes and spiders
◼
►
I am Legend in in the northwest as like
◼
►
a holocaust her but here
◼
►
yeah they're going to sink hole we ship
◼
►
the ends in Southern California do not
◼
►
yeah when they come upon one of our
◼
►
waiters while they're looking for work
◼
►
well that's the thing that most
◼
►
beautiful and I ever saw them but ma ma
◼
►
maybe art they're the most here's what
◼
►
it is they were the most talented and in
◼
►
their own communities sure like the best
◼
►
entertainment began a small pond
◼
►
I'm looking out the window to people
◼
►
with buttons went by oh I've got my
◼
►
spool here but I can't get out there you
◼
►
know that they could take it probably
◼
►
they could probably power and iphone for
◼
►
a couple hours of those buns but they're
◼
►
not there is walking around but that's
◼
►
if you don't think about that if you and
◼
►
your significant other both have top
◼
►
why wouldn't you tie them together once
◼
►
positive one is negative right why
◼
►
wouldn't you just run a little spool
◼
►
even if it wasn't metal wire what if it
◼
►
was just ribbin people already share
◼
►
headphones John you're going public
◼
►
transit and there's a couple Chinese
◼
►
kids sharing and sharing their ipod same
◼
►
deal here that wire could be i think
◼
►
it's in an electrical transducer or
◼
►
modem and that would be used for to one
◼
►
of these positive one of these negative
◼
►
and then that would generate enough
◼
►
power for the ipod with some leftover

►
for the grid if you saw two people
◼
►
walking on the beach in Venice
◼
►
California they both had burns and they
◼
►
were both flying kites from their buns
◼
►
ok how would that make you feel because
◼
►
it would fill me with joy i would say
◼
►
here are some people here are some
◼
►
millennium not SS SS me up for a minute
◼
►
40 unit because the kite would be
◼
►
pulling the bun up i have been a speech
◼
►
oh well it's it's a it's it's it's
◼
►
it's a willful unusualness oh yeah yeah
◼
►
there's a lot of that but you're gonna
◼
►
find that in ann arbor 24 or all the
◼
►
other are but you gotta wear more layers
◼
►
their true true but like the willful I
◼
►
mean the thing about Venice i think is
◼
►
like the there the the the kumquats are
◼
►
thick on the ground here who you know
◼
►
what I mean like you don't have it do
◼
►
you remember when being a wastoid
◼
►
burnout seemed like it was a valid job
◼
►
yes right and that 1982 remember 1982 it
◼
►
was it was something to aspire to and
◼
►
you know we talked about the the origins
◼
►
of various kinds of Valley speak and
◼
►
serve talk i mean that that was some of
◼
►
that has antecedents in well in our
◼
►
group that kind of Lodi's but you can
◼
►
take burnouts I don't know where that
◼
►
came from Lotus but i guess because they
◼
►
got loaded but you get that you get the
◼
►
Judas Priest drawn your folder easily
◼
►
got a flannel shirt you fall asleep in
◼
►
you're always in the smoking area
◼
►
because yes high schools you have
◼
►
yes and and not in your date will regard
◼
►
except you're not canadian women
◼
►
yeah when Gardner to canadian first of
◼
►
all and also like to whatever it like
◼
►
beckham hashers is that we call it up
◼
►
there commissures is that is that a is
◼
►
that considered a slider a slur sure I
◼
►
feel like hasher came later in Anchorage
◼
►
we call them stalkers stoners ok and
◼
►
stoner was a blanket term for any kind
◼
►
of sort of burner you know anybody that
◼
►
was anybody that was because a stoner
◼
►
would look at you and I'm not talking
◼
►
about like a like a sixty-five-year-old
◼
►
burnout stoner that's what they were
◼
►
that's what they aspire to but when
◼
►
you're 18 year old stoner yeah he's not
◼
►
I mean you gotta really to get kill
◼
►
those brain cells permanently you're
◼
►
gonna have to really stick with it and
◼
►
there was a there was a tremendous
◼
►
element of defiance right the stoners
◼
►
would look at you and say I choose
◼
►
nothingness right like I am
◼
►
this is a valid life choice mmm i am I
◼
►
do not care about your bullshit these
◼
►
men are nihilist honey trap right now
◼
►
and there's a transient me what's in the
◼
►
mm no no that was ever to Russell it's
◼
►
totally true and it was a life choice
◼
►
and it was it a contrary to what
◼
►
appeared to be it was not simply a
◼
►
reaction to straight culture it was seen
◼
►
as an affirmative stance
◼
►
mm and that i remember very distinctly
◼
►
mean we've all stood at the crossroads
◼
►
who and we've all looked down one as far
◼
►
as we couldn't tell where penned into
◼
►
the undergrowth who but there was a
◼
►
moment right where you're where you're
◼
►
thinking like Spicoli is the coolest
◼
►
character and fast times at ridgemont
◼
►
high perhaps that coolness is also
◼
►
available to me but Spicoli has made a
◼
►
life choice Spicoli is on a path Spicoli
◼
►
his reproach model with mr. hand over
◼
►
the end of the film does not mean that
◼
►
mr. hand has converted Spicoli to caring
◼
►
about the identity that would be a
◼
►
different film so different film i mean
◼
►
if the fact that mr. hand comes to his
◼
►
house in the way that he does and that's
◼
►
a wonderful turn but also the fact that
◼
►
you know they don't end up jumping into
◼
►
a pool together I like that a lot
◼
►
well and who is more changed quickly or
◼
►
mr. hand you know I never have thought
◼
►
about along you know what I mean like I
◼
►
feel like being around my time now is
◼
►
the one that's right mr. hand has as a
◼
►
as as izzy is is changed and evolved by
◼
►
the end of that but so I'm walking down
◼
►
venice beach and i'm looking around and
◼
►
i have this like wow this is there are
◼
►
stoner burnouts here that are from my
◼
►
time there are people here who who came
◼
►
to that Spicoli crossroads and they took
◼
►
the other as just as fair m and here
◼
►
this resonates I just sit there and
◼
►
smoke a doobie the crossroads something
◼
►
they came into the crossroads who they
◼
►
try to hitch a ride huh
◼
►
and they saw the devil and they said
◼
►
take me to the other side plank and dust
◼
►
my broom and so they're they're they're
◼
►
sitting around there walking around
◼
►
their fucking riding a unicycle and it's
◼
►
not just the guy that looks like Jimi
◼
►
Hendrix on roller skates and it's not
◼
►
like i sat down there the other day and
◼
►
there were maybe ten black guys about my
◼
►
age sitting around on the stone the
◼
►
stands around the basketball court and
◼
►
they were arguing loud about basketball
◼
►
teams from the eighties john who was the
◼
►
yeah and I knew all I knew everything I
◼
►
knew every name that they were saying
◼
►
and they were really up in each others
◼
►
face about it like you know what your
◼
►
guests and surprises the first time this
◼
►
has come up this is like your old all
◼
►
guys sitting on a stupid Turkey
◼
►
yeah this these guys I think probably
◼
►
have a version of this argument every
◼
►
yeah and part of the loudness of it is
◼
►
that it is a performance their conscious
◼
►
of being we are the Venice Beach
◼
►
middle-aged guys that sit around the
◼
►
basketball court and what we do is argue
◼
►
loudly about things from our childhood
◼
►
or whatever like Iverson you know
◼
►
they're just like screaming at each
◼
►
other the Celtic Celtics were the you
◼
►
I don't know my friend right now people
◼
►
think it's like like Apache Esperanto
◼
►
fortran any other languages is something
◼
►
are they teaching its young people are
◼
►
they bringing in are they bring in new
◼
►
people out work you have to be of the
◼
►
vintage to argue about Larry Bird yeah
◼
►
you have to care because young people
◼
►
just roll their eyes at him because
◼
►
there's been four or five complete
◼
►
iterations of like basketball culture
◼
►
since the since Michael Jordan like an
◼
►
old a black guy version is like slacker
◼
►
like sit around like like talking about
◼
►
scooby-doo this moment in time for my 25
◼
►
30 40 years ago you still like just just
◼
►
turning over because there was never in
◼
►
in their world right there was never a
◼
►
better moment not just in basketball but
◼
►
the Bulls vs the the celtics writer or
◼
►
LA right was the big rivalries or
◼
►
whatever l 118 lakers and the lakers in
◼
►
the celtics ya get magic vs Larry Bird
◼
►
and and so that was such and I that is
◼
►
just like cast in iron in my own mind
◼
►
and I didn't care about it like the idea
◼
►
that there would ever be a bigger moment
◼
►
in sports than that rivalry which was
◼
►
like so profound and I felt like I felt
◼
►
like you know turn around and being like
◼
►
well what about a you know the beauty
◼
►
jazz but the witch named still really
◼
►
the Jazz the chance yeah famous utah
◼
►
famous for its jazz scene right John
◼
►
Stockton John Stockton he played when he
◼
►
and the Bulls right well you want to
◼
►
play for the Jazz now and John Stockton
◼
►
went to Gonzaga where I want so he was
◼
►
on and Gonzaga was a busy with college
◼
►
as you know that's like basketball is
◼
►
the big thing for guns and I learned
◼
►

◼
►

◼
►
several episodes of parks and rec and he
◼
►
used to play for the the Sonics that's
◼
►
right it was a long time ago and the
◼
►
sauna so in the early nineties right
◼
►
that was sonics heyday and these guys
◼
►
got into the Sonics they were they were
◼
►
yelling at each other about and I SAT
◼
►
there because I was loving it
◼
►
I did not want to be anywhere else and
◼
►
they yelled at each other about eighties
◼
►
basketball until they were yelling at
◼
►
each other about the Sonics and early
◼
►
nineties basketball which I still could
◼
►
follow along like I understood the terms
◼
►

◼
►

◼
►
pocket just to go to the mall and there
◼
►
was something that you did you knew
◼
►
somebody that worked at the squire shop
◼
►

◼
►
what we do that we just go to we would
◼
►

◼
►
this is the third place is the third
◼
►

◼
►
bicycle from a guy i said i need a
◼
►
bicycle and this guy had a like a a
◼
►
rotten a rally an old raleigh 3-speed
◼
►
raleigh that I recognized immediately as
◼
►
a an older raleigh those are a British
◼
►
British bikes and so I said I'd give him
◼
►
a hundred bucks for it and he said okay
◼
►
and then I you know I did some searching
◼
►
did some online searching to try and
◼
►
identify the the raleigh it turns out
◼
►
it's in 1966 raleigh who which i'm in
◼
►
the process of sort of cleaning up and
◼
►

◼
►

◼
►

►
isn't some dumb beach bike that I rent
◼
►
it from somebody who this is my quirky
◼
►
sixties like three speed British bike
◼

◼
►
what's Mike work you know going tonight
◼
►

◼
►
yeah you know your that that's now your
◼
►
year you get that point where you gotta

◼
►

◼
►
get in there dance so yesterday i was
◼
►
having breakfast here in Venice Beach a
◼
►
guy rolls up ready for this motorcycle
◼
►
sidecar now what's in the side armor one
◼
►
bulldog that's right and what's the
◼
►
Bulldog wearing this is he wearing
◼
►
aviator helmet because this guy's got a
◼
►
he's got a pair of goggles really
◼
►
happened on the dog and and a
◼
►
handkerchief your next move around feels
◼
►
like something union where if he's like
◼
►
as you went down that path there was no
◼
►
way that wouldn't end with a bulldog
◼
►
just as an aviator so here i'm watching
◼
►
this guy gets up there and it's like a
◼
►
platonic form of Bulldogs exactly right
◼
►
it's a platonic form you know you might
◼
►
not put into to you might not put in a
◼
►
baseball cap that dog that dog needs to
◼
►
what's so watching the whole thing
◼
►
unfold he pulls up in front of the
◼
►
sidewalk cafe where I meeting he talked
◼
►
to some people think they take his
◼
►
picture with the dog he looks like a
◼
►
normal guy he's not he's not wearing a
◼
►
sunflower costume right he's not Peter
◼
►
Gabriel he's like just wearing a jean
◼
►
normal haircut and but he doesn't come
◼
►
into the restaurant he's he's out front
◼
►
of the restaurant for a while talking to
◼
►
people it's not clear that he knows
◼
►
anything he saw somebody was like hey
◼
►
there's my friend pulling over and then
◼
►
he gets on the motorcycle and the dog
◼
►
drive off and it's like does he just he
◼
►
just touring all the restaurants it's
◼
►
like sunday sunday morning I've seen
◼
►
I've seen people who do that I've seen
◼
►
belly dancers that do that I think
◼
►
people who just go from place to place
◼
►
doing their performance ya doing their
◼
►
work and so as i said as i sat and
◼
►
watched him and i watch this unfold I
◼
►
was like wait a minute this is a this is
◼
►
a platonic form this guy has chosen to
◼
►
the motorcycle with the Bulldog with the
◼
►
sidecar with the goggles sky he didn't
◼
►
invent this this is a this is the thing
◼
►
that we all these days as the hint has
◼
►
the hinges would say he's an avatar
◼
►
he's an avatar right he is the he is the
◼
►
mark twain impersonator but right now in
◼
►
Venice California he may be the only one
◼
►
he may be the guy and if I were 19 years
◼
►
old it's like a century 21 franchise say
◼
►
a limited to certain territory this is
◼
►
what I wonder what does he do if he's if
◼
►
he rides up in venice beach and there's
◼
►
another guy with a motorcycle with a
◼
►
sidecar with a bulldog with goggles
◼
►
like what if you want to be the parent
◼
►
guy there's already passed apparent what
◼
►
you want if you want to be talks about
◼
►
the deficit guy you're gonna have to go
◼
►
to tell if he dresses like Mark Twain
◼
►
guy there's a very good chance there's
◼
►
already a dresses like Mark Twain guy or
◼
►
what if you're Jimi Hendrix on roller
◼
►
skates guy like there's been a jimi
◼
►
hendrix on roller skates on venice beach
◼
►
is it the same guy the whole time does
◼
►
he play guitar away skating he does Oh
◼
►
as an amplifier on his back and he's a
◼
►
good enough guitar player that you
◼
►
identify the guitar parts as Jim
◼
►
Henderson Jimi Hendrix Ian but does is
◼
►
it the same guy does he anoint the next
◼
►
guy did you try out for that job when
◼
►
the when the guys ready to retire but
◼
►
but the motorcycle guy I was like which
◼
►
element came first right did he have the
◼
►
bulldog and then he said hey haha i'm
◼
►
gonna put goggles on you and then he was
◼
►
yeah this feels right to me and then he
◼
►
bought a motorcycle with a sidecar or
◼
►
did he have a motorcycle and then he was
◼
►
many felt like you know I've always
◼
►
wanted a sidecar because i was a I was a
◼
►
motorcycle person and I wanted a sidecar
◼
►
until guess it went motorcycle for a
◼
►
Bulldog for some time oh he strapped on
◼
►
a sidecar and that point it's just a
◼
►
trip to the flea market 222 deck out
◼
►
your your animal so you feel like he
◼
►
sandwiched his way into it i don't see
◼
►
how it goes backwards we're watching a
◼
►
project runway where somebody made a
◼
►
pattern that was based on their own
◼
►
tattoo which I found very convoluted i
◼
►
think i think it's like I cannot comes
◼
►
razor thing like you know was like the
◼
►
order that way because it'll be very sad
◼
►
we started with chuckles you get back
◼
►
solving the goggles i looked at it and
◼
►
felt like it was very real possible my
◼
►
god a stoner burnout just walked by the
◼
►
I mean they're real here they look like
◼
►
they're that close yeah yeah like
◼
►
clearly he had no he was like.he he
◼
►
seriously was the dude right particular
◼
►
did ya just missing the sweater how man
◼
►
82 degrees or whatever but I looked at
◼
►
the motorcycle sidecar guy and I felt
◼
►
like the whole thing came to him in a
◼
►
uh-huh like tomorrow I like today I am
◼
►
myself tomorrow i'm going to set in
◼
►
motion a chain of events that will that
◼
►
will will transform me
◼
►
into motorcycle side darkside Bulldog
◼
►
you know like yeah I'm thinking because
◼
►
last night I was a movie I watched for
◼
►
the fourth or fifth time which is called
◼
►
a blue to prove you think of deceptive
◼
►
practice and Ricky J think you might
◼
►
have seen it once or twice I have you
◼
►
know what should i watch it fairly
◼
►
regularly because it's amazing and I'm
◼
►
the toxin particular about his
◼
►
relationship with the kids wasn't
◼
►
charlie miller and I vernon and how he
◼
►
would go to the magic castle in like
◼
►
there was like this this like it was
◼
►
like Fagan they're like all of these a
◼
►
spy in the seventies they're always like
◼
►
aspiring young magicians who would hang
◼
►
out with these guys and like try and get
◼
►
the information and would never give
◼
►
away their know he totally messed them
◼
►
like one time according to ricky jay you
◼
►
know he indicated is an amazing thing
◼
►
where he throws a card boomerangs back
◼
►
to him and I've earned said I've done at
◼
►
39 times I've never been able to 40
◼
►
times if you can do 40 times i'll tell
◼
►
you this effect that you want to know
◼
►
and he did it and the 40th caught it
◼
►
just because he's a magic guy point
◼
►
being like they're all jockeying they're
◼
►
playing them against each other they're
◼
►
good grooming the magician's basically
◼
►
but like I wonder if something similar
◼
►
happens do you have to go an apprentice
◼
►
with somebody else's a motorcycle
◼
►
sidecar Bulldog man here's the piers I
◼
►
mean the thing that scared me
◼
►
I bet there's a lot you can get wrong
◼
►
and you might not learn for five years
◼
►
something you've been doing wrong
◼
►
this is what I'm this is what scared me
◼
►
yeah the guy first of all two things one
◼
►
he's wearing a denim jacket but it's a
◼
►
sand colored denim jack
◼
►
hmm I was like okay I haven't seen one
◼
►
of those in a long time
◼
►
it sounds like kind of a dad jacket
◼
►
little bit you mean like a classic
◼
►
Levi's but sin is that sandy color it's
◼
►
insane because then everyone kind of
◼
►
cold when Levi's was making sand color
◼
►
denim i think i do this is one of those
◼
►
but it's in Nice shape it's not like
◼
►
ratty it's nice second problem that
◼
►
looks like Tom Hanks oh that's nice and
◼
►
interesting wrinkle right domestic it
◼
►
looks like your heels i'm thinking it
◼
