00:02:04   account in the book [TS]

00:02:23   pre-literacy know this is interesting I [TS]

00:02:26   I always felt like a dope for reading to [TS]

00:02:28   my kid right well not a dope but I mean [TS]

00:02:31   I wonder how much was you know getting [TS]

00:02:39   who knows libraries today you know let's [TS]

00:02:41   be honest but there's a thing on there [TS]

00:02:43   is all the steps of what you go through [TS]

00:02:46   pre-literacy and i was very happy to [TS]

00:02:48   find out that my reading was not for [TS]

00:02:50   naught because be just being around [TS]

00:02:52   books and interacting with books having [TS]

00:02:55   books around turns out can actually help [TS]

00:02:57   your child with their literacy I guess [TS]

00:02:59   it seems obvious in retrospect a library [TS]

00:03:02   would say that if you go to a Kentucky [TS]

00:03:04   Fried Chicken there's a story about pre [TS]

00:03:07   about how you need to introduce your [TS]

00:03:10   child to fried chicken smelly poultry [TS]

00:07:33   of avoid thing injection plastic imagine [TS]

00:07:36   it being like that [TS]

00:07:37   yeah well I think what happens at an [TS]

00:07:39   Arby's is that the semi truck backs up [TS]

00:07:41   ma and they unload like 250 of these [TS]

00:07:47   brain shaped since cinder blocks of [TS]

00:07:51   student likea center Center turkey [TS]

00:07:53   shaped blocks of beef that are like the [TS]

00:07:56   they're like the brain of a superbeing [TS]

00:07:58   and then another same color like you [TS]

00:08:00   know kind of like pinkish gray the beef [TS]

00:08:04   pods [TS]

00:08:05   and then the the fashion of their of [TS]

00:08:09   their manufacture at an Arby's is that [TS]

00:08:11   they thin slice this frozen beef and [TS]

00:08:14   then flash fries right so it's super [TS]

00:08:16   thin slicing of this frozen beef brain [TS]

00:08:19   and then flash-fried on some kind of hot [TS]

00:08:21   griddle and that's your RB sandwich and [TS]

00:08:25   I I knew a kid who worked at an Arby's [TS]

00:08:27   and he said that if you left one of [TS]

00:08:30   those frozen beef brains out of the [TS]

00:08:33   freezer that it it was it became a bag [TS]

00:08:38   of meat liquid that it was not actually [TS]

00:08:42   it's not actually because of course [TS]

00:08:44   there is no brain shaped part of a cow [TS]

00:08:47   except its brain [TS]

00:08:48   yeah and it's not as costly that's a [TS]

00:08:50   variety meet yeah this thing is like a [TS]

00:08:52   20-pound thing the 20 pounds of 20 [TS]

00:08:55   bumping that clearly was extruded from [TS]

00:08:58   an old-fashioned cake frosting machine [TS]

00:12:15   things they didn't understand but like [TS]

00:12:20   to figure out the world [TS]

00:12:21   yep I mean I mean you know so long [TS]

00:12:23   before we did it's really dispiriting [TS]

00:12:50   yeah we would we would do a shittier job [TS]

00:12:53   it would take us five hundred years to [TS]

00:12:55   learn to carve stone we would have to [TS]

00:12:59   start at the beginning we would be we [TS]

00:13:01   would be we would become to start like [TS]

00:14:24   of pet name yeah there's a giants is [TS]

00:14:27   perhaps at their favorite song ever [TS]

00:14:30   really and that's quite a statement [TS]

00:14:32   considering that when we covered pet [TS]

00:14:34   name [TS]

00:14:34   I felt that that we did not get i [TS]

00:14:37   enjoyed our cover of America rocked it [TS]

00:14:39   and I and I did not feel that we got the [TS]

00:14:41   got the acclaim that was our do because [TS]

00:14:44   of course the long winters are and also [TS]

00:14:47   r & m they've been around longer though [TS]

00:15:05   here arbys ok so i am ready to write [TS]

00:15:08   this down to the comic problem but [TS]

00:15:10   literally this morning while I was [TS]

00:15:11   urinating it occurred to me that if we [TS]

00:15:14   had one of those situations where are [TS]

00:15:16   the grid went down and we lost it but [TS]

00:15:18   you know let's let's just say one of the [TS]

00:15:21   problems is we wouldn't have the [TS]

00:15:23   internet we would not have Wikipedia at [TS]

00:15:25   are ready access finding a lot of us [TS]

00:15:27   have gotten rid of our books sure we've [TS]

00:15:30   got e right now I haven't I'm you know [TS]

00:15:33   I'm sitting in a room full of books that [TS]

00:15:35   serve me well [TS]

00:15:36   smells like mobs in here learning model [TS]

00:15:40   but I'm telling you when the grid goes [TS]

00:15:42   down this this will be the repository of [TS]

00:15:45   all of all important human knowledge i [TS]

00:15:47   have the live from New York Saturday [TS]

00:15:49   Night Live oral history got it you don't [TS]

00:15:52   want you don't want to you don't want to [TS]

00:15:53   live in a future escape without that [TS]

00:15:55   book you know here's the thing you are [TS]

00:15:57   going to encounter people like chevy [TS]

00:15:58   chase after the apocalypse and we need [TS]

00:16:01   to be ready for that [TS]

00:16:02   yeah if you don't know that they exist [TS]

00:16:03   how can you be prepared it's like it's [TS]

00:16:05   like a great creation story in many ways [TS]

00:16:07   creation greagle prequel yeah cause you [TS]

00:16:10   haven't I was urinating yesterday [TS]

00:16:12   occurred to me like what would happen is [TS]

00:16:14   something like that came along and you [TS]

00:16:16   know as in the the breakout issue of the [TS]

00:16:20   New Avengers what if the lights are [TS]

00:16:23   going off the kind of slowly and like [TS]

00:16:25   what with the new we had some access to [TS]

00:16:28   the resources on the internet but only [TS]

00:16:30   for a certain amount of time we didn't [TS]

00:16:32   know how long that was this is like that [TS]

00:16:33   was in yearning for all that long but [TS]

00:16:35   this is what happens as you do it goes [TS]

00:16:37   through your mind and i was thinking [TS]

00:16:38   like if we knew that there was a limited [TS]

00:16:41   amount of time but didn't know how long [TS]

00:16:42   like where would be start to make sure [TS]

00:16:45   we had what we needed [TS]

00:16:47   assuming we could print it out or [TS]

00:16:48   whatever but this one is kind of what [TS]

00:16:50   you're talking about that wasn't going [TS]

00:16:51   to get their dreams where I think if I [TS]

00:16:53   was a time traveler [TS]

00:16:54   and I had two hours to prepare to [TS]

00:16:57   bookmark as many pages in my iphone as I [TS]

00:17:02   could before traveling back in time not [TS]

00:17:06   to a pre electricity time but traveling [TS]

00:17:08   back let's say I'm time traveling back [TS]

00:17:10   to nineteen forty haha man that's my [TS]

00:17:14   responsibility and I need to bookmark as [TS]

00:17:16   much stuff in my phone as I can but I [TS]

00:17:19   don't already know that I'm gonna want [TS]

00:17:20   access to have two hours [TS]

00:17:24   what do I put in my phone is for you to [TS]

00:17:26   remember or do we assume in this [TS]

00:17:29   universe that you would be credible [TS]

00:17:31   enough for them to believe what you're [TS]

00:17:33   showing them where is the problem how [TS]

00:17:36   you so you end up in 1944 there you have [TS]

00:17:38   no money [TS]

00:17:40   you're dressed in your dumb modern [TS]

00:17:41   clothes your sheer shrubby modern [TS]

00:17:44   clothes you look like there's something [TS]

00:17:46   wrong with you right people on the [TS]

00:17:47   street are going to immediately look at [TS]

00:17:48   you and say what's wrong with that guy [TS]

00:17:50   whose haircut is weird like you [TS]

00:17:51   something from the bonus March yeah this [TS]

00:17:53   is exactly his clothes his clothes are [TS]

00:17:55   weird [TS]

00:17:56   something's not right about this guy and [TS]

00:17:57   you have to establish credibility in [TS]

00:17:59   1940 in such a way you have to you [TS]

00:18:02   primarily you have to first establish [TS]

00:18:04   the baseline of credibility that [TS]

00:18:06   somebody is going to get you dinner [TS]

00:18:08   right like you hear it you're in 1940 [TS]

00:18:12   but you're still you still need to eat [TS]

00:18:13   dinner [TS]

00:18:13   you still need a place to stay you have [TS]

00:18:15   to you have to have contemporary [TS]

00:18:16   civility [TS]

00:18:18   yeah i mean i know it sounds silly but [TS]

00:18:20   that's part of it is you don't want to [TS]

00:18:21   seem like a nut right and you have to be [TS]

00:18:23   able to approach somebody and say and [TS]

00:18:25   and and this includes like finding your [TS]

00:18:28   forebears like my dad was alive in 1943 [TS]

00:18:31   that was a lawyer wasn't right now yea [TS]

00:18:33   he 1941 else he was a maybe competitive [TS]

00:18:36   with stuffing coffee on his pants but I [TS]

00:18:38   know where my grandmother and I know [TS]

00:18:41   where she lived in 1942 I show up at her [TS]

00:18:43   door knock on the door and say hello to [TS]

00:18:45   go back to rural Ohio [TS]

00:18:46   hello you know Mary Louise rochester i [TS]

00:18:48   am a relative of yours and she's going [TS]

00:18:52   to say really will come in and i'm going [TS]

00:18:54   to say yes and I'm going to tell a [TS]

00:18:56   little bit about the band great way to [TS]

00:19:00   related to and I'm gonna go well I am [TS]

00:19:03   your cousin and I'm gonna you know like [TS]

00:19:06   trickle off some [TS]

00:19:07   the relative than I that I vaguely [TS]

00:19:09   remember that she would know that is [TS]

00:19:12   ambiguous enough that she's not going to [TS]

00:19:13   be able to check it so then I you know [TS]

00:19:16   Uncle Calhoun guys until the houses I [TS]

00:19:20   multiple uncle Ralph's second cousin [TS]

00:19:23   once removed but you don't have enough [TS]

00:19:25   to go in and seem possible right and and [TS]

00:19:28   in the in the manner of the time she [TS]

00:19:30   would feel obligated to let me stay in [TS]

00:19:33   the guest room for a night or two but [TS]

00:19:35   then i'm on my own trying to establish a [TS]

00:19:38   new life in 1940 with what I know is [TS]

00:19:41   about to happen [TS]

00:19:42   how do i what do i do like what know not [TS]

00:19:46   only what are my historical obligations [TS]

00:19:49   but like how do I provide a living for [TS]

00:19:51   myself in that time with what I you know [TS]

00:19:54   what I know is about to transpire [TS]

00:19:55   without being a war profiteer or without [TS]

00:19:57   going to a gambling house and bedding [TS]

00:20:00   betting all you know betting the ten [TS]

00:20:02   dollars that i put together on the fact [TS]

00:20:05   that the Japanese are going to bomb [TS]

00:20:06   Pearl Harbor on december seven you know [TS]

00:20:08   got a time-traveling war profiteer got [TS]

00:20:10   like exactly how do you how do you how [TS]

00:20:12   do you typically live in the past with [TS]

00:20:15   the knowledge that you have of the [TS]

00:20:17   future and and presently features i have [TS]

00:20:20   my iphone and okay maybe soon can i ask [TS]

00:20:23   you some questions about this just to [TS]

00:20:24   have some parameters [TS]

00:20:26   ok I'm sorry to interrupt you a totally [TS]

00:20:28   into this but you're going to run be you [TS]

00:20:31   don't like that it's not that I don't [TS]

00:20:34   like it I kind of ruined be and say was [TS]

00:20:38   I'm into and b is this some questions [TS]

00:20:40   and do you know the first of all do we [TS]

00:20:43   assume that for the sake of magic your [TS]

00:20:46   iphone will continue to work for at [TS]

00:20:48   least a few months inexplicably because [TS]

00:20:50   i don't know if i want to have 110 back [TS]

00:20:52   then [TS]

00:20:52   yeah right i mean that yes they did and [TS]

00:20:55   you could still plug your iphone if you [TS]

00:20:56   have an iphone charger you can still [TS]

00:20:58   plug it into an outlet in 1940 but you [TS]

00:21:01   don't but you have no internet at home [TS]

00:21:03   it's just what you've loaded into the [TS]

00:21:05   thing okay I think that's I think that's [TS]

00:21:07   plausible ok they don't know you have it [TS]

00:21:09   are you going to know the specific [TS]

00:21:12   within like a week or so do you know the [TS]

00:21:14   specific time that you're traveling to [TS]

00:21:17   yeah let's say September 1940 [TS]

00:21:20   determination for the war in Europe is [TS]

00:21:22   raging to America is taking an [TS]

00:21:25   isolationist stance [TS]

00:21:27   the Japanese are moving into manchuria [TS]

00:21:29   Stalin has made a separate peace with [TS]

00:21:33   Hitler pop still funny up hilarious very [TS]

00:21:37   very funny hilarious [TS]

00:21:39   okay yeah Orson Welles the relevance [TS]

00:21:42   again just director just to get it out [TS]

00:21:45   of the way i an't I don't go too far [TS]

00:21:47   here but are you gonna be around people [TS]

00:21:50   are you going to go to like your mom's [TS]

00:21:52   people or your dads people are they [TS]

00:21:54   around people who might eventually after [TS]

00:21:56   a couple drinks warm up to the idea that [TS]

00:21:58   you might be from the future if you make [TS]

00:22:00   the case [TS]

00:22:01   well here's the problem i imagine this [TS]

00:22:04   time traveling happening in place so [TS]

00:22:07   might the house and I'm sitting in right [TS]

00:22:09   now existed in 1940 and so all of a [TS]

00:22:12   sudden I am sitting in the same room i'm [TS]

00:22:14   sitting in but at the house belongs to [TS]

00:22:17   somebody else and it's 1940 and I and [TS]

00:22:19   unfortunately unfortunately for me right [TS]

00:22:21   now I'm in a green-striped shirt my [TS]

00:22:24   underwear and a pair of house slippers [TS]

00:22:26   that are made by bugs [TS]

00:22:29   oh really yeah d you know when the time [TS]

00:22:32   comes gonna happen to examine your time [TS]

00:22:34   in the current universe it's gonna [TS]

00:22:36   happen it's gonna it's gonna come you [TS]

00:22:38   could be a surprise [TS]

00:22:39   it's going to happen in two hours [TS]

00:22:40   because i have that lot of course I cars [TS]

00:22:41   have time to change and I don't put some [TS]

00:22:44   pants on mark a few things and classes [TS]

00:22:46   that look like they're from nineteen [TS]

00:22:47   forty because the easy one in some ways [TS]

00:22:49   if you meet somebody who's probably a [TS]

00:22:52   lunatic or a comic book writer if you [TS]

00:22:55   met one of those people and you could [TS]

00:22:56   say the closing price of us steel is [TS]

00:23:00   going to be this tomorrow [TS]

00:23:02   exactly that's one and then you might [TS]

00:23:04   seem a little like a magician but that's [TS]

00:23:06   one way you could prove it or you could [TS]

00:23:08   say like Sears the name of a young [TS]

00:23:10   person a surprisingly young celebrity [TS]

00:23:12   maybe who will die tomorrow from [TS]

00:23:14   emphysema [TS]

00:23:15   yeah right i would also mark 19 40 [TS]

00:23:18   deaths but all of the problem with that [TS]

00:23:20   is that all of those if you think about [TS]

00:23:22   somebody showing up at your house right [TS]

00:23:24   now [TS]

00:23:25   knocking on the door and saying hello [TS]

00:23:27   Merlin man you are someone who knows [TS]

00:23:30   about like you who is well-versed in [TS]

00:23:34   science fiction let me tell you a story [TS]

00:23:36   I'm your descendant from the future I [TS]

00:23:39   have come here [TS]

00:23:40   I know the following intimate details [TS]

00:23:43   about you and he says two or three [TS]

00:23:44   things that your great-grandson might [TS]

00:23:47   plausibly know but that are still like [TS]

00:23:49   intimate details and then he says [TS]

00:23:52   tomorrow get less interested in [TS]

00:23:54   auto-erotic asphyxiation tomorrow [TS]

00:23:58   Carly Rae Jepsen is gonna die of [TS]

00:24:00   emphysema and you're like uh-huh okay [TS]

00:24:03   and then it has that homey maybe lady I [TS]

00:24:07   don't know I just a name that popped in [TS]

00:24:09   my room that I thought I read on the [TS]

00:24:11   internet sometimes and I don't research [TS]

00:24:12   and then you're like okay sure [TS]

00:24:18   come in like I'm not going to introduce [TS]

00:24:21   you to my family quite yet but come into [TS]

00:24:23   the entryway like come into the anteroom [TS]

00:24:25   and let's talk about this a little bit [TS]

00:24:27   longer [TS]

00:24:27   tell me more about myself from the [TS]

00:24:29   future and then pretty soon everything [TS]

00:24:32   that this person says is going to sound [TS]

00:24:34   like bullshit because they're going to [TS]

00:24:35   say well in ten more years Merlin man [TS]

00:24:38   you become a widely known internet [TS]

00:24:42   celebrity I get it I get it [TS]

00:24:44   how how how can i verify that and [TS]

00:24:48   everything he's telling you about [TS]

00:24:49   yourself in the past except for every it [TS]

00:24:52   could be could be just like that he [TS]

00:24:55   researched it on the internet really [TS]

00:24:56   well tonight so I don't know it's very I [TS]

00:24:59   spend a lot of time imagining myself [TS]

00:25:01   walking down the street in 1914 my uggs [TS]

00:25:03   with my historically inappropriate [TS]

00:25:05   glasses thinking how am I gonna walk [TS]

00:25:08   into a diner and tell the guy something [TS]

00:25:11   that's gonna make him want to give me a [TS]

00:25:12   turkey dinner without becoming a war [TS]

00:25:16   profiteer initially you're probably [TS]

00:25:20   gonna tell you can be like a hobo right [TS]

00:25:22   you look for chalk marks because and [TS]

00:25:23   chop some wood gotta work your way up [TS]

00:25:25   yeah and-and-and the natural place to [TS]

00:25:27   start is with your family but is that [TS]

00:25:30   shit is that something you should do [TS]

00:25:32   should you go to your great ground i [TS]

00:25:33   think possibly but i also think based on [TS]

00:25:37   reading some [TS]

00:25:38   fiction that if you were to meet floozy [TS]

00:25:42   oh who maybe had a lot of them problem [TS]

00:25:46   well one that will get floozy I guess [TS]

00:25:48   that would be like fancy society ladies [TS]

00:25:50   like maybe somebody from preston sturges [TS]

00:25:52   film [TS]

00:25:52   oh I don't know I'm just saying if you [TS]

00:25:54   met somebody made about how about [TS]

00:25:56   somebody should have been an heiress is [TS]

00:25:57   the daughter of somebody powerful who's [TS]

00:25:59   the black sheep of african-american [TS]

00:26:00   sheet if you were to get in good with [TS]

00:26:02   her you know you might be able to bring [TS]

00:26:04   her around I think about that what's [TS]

00:26:06   that what's that William Powell movie [TS]

00:26:07   you know with the famous windpower movie [TS]

00:26:11   where he goes and poses as a hobo and [TS]

00:26:14   then it becomes like that matter but [TS]

00:26:16   there are just a lot of films of the [TS]

00:26:18   time with that kind of thing happen you [TS]

00:26:19   got Frank Capra making me and i don't [TS]

00:26:22   know i'm not sure because you're you're [TS]

00:26:24   you're gonna try you your your plan is [TS]

00:26:26   that you want to convince somebody in [TS]

00:26:27   the past two to believe that you are [TS]

00:26:29   from the future [TS]

00:26:30   well yes I think eventually but i think [TS]

00:26:33   that the thing is before you try to use [TS]

00:26:34   science you're gonna have to build with [TS]

00:26:36   ye first of all you know be you're going [TS]

00:26:39   to need relationships but a you're going [TS]

00:26:41   to need credibility [TS]

00:26:42   well the things that are not seem like a [TS]

00:26:43   kook right 1940 is pre female orgasm [TS]

00:26:47   when did that give a sense of when that [TS]

00:26:49   started with the 1964 I think I don't [TS]

00:26:51   think a woman had an orgasm until Kinsey [TS]

00:26:54   until the kinsey report because you know [TS]

00:26:56   you have these a lady that's the thing [TS]

00:26:58   is they had a lot of accidental orgasms [TS]

00:27:00   but they thought that it was some kind [TS]

00:27:01   of consumption was usually horseback [TS]

00:40:47   the seventies who did too many drugs [TS]

00:40:48   that's exactly right [TS]

00:40:50   thank you well don't know now in in 1978 [TS]

00:40:53   did they have 64 ounce bottles of Pop [TS]

00:40:57   well but you have you had to go out and [TS]

00:40:59   buy with it before 60 now [TS]

00:41:01   bottles right but they have played in [TS]

00:41:04   that plastic bottles popular no I think [TS]

00:41:06   there may have been too especially from [TS]

00:41:08   kentucky fried chicken and you might [TS]

00:41:09   have been able to get two liter bottle [TS]

00:41:10   in my case we have returnable glass [TS]

00:41:12   bottles like a fucking gentleman and you [TS]

00:41:14   go out and get an eight pack of 16 ounce [TS]

00:41:17   coke bottles not to answer your question [TS]

00:41:18   no I don't think they did well so so [TS]

00:41:20   that means that the two-liter bottle [TS]

00:41:23   with the bottom cut off used as a hash [TS]

00:41:27   bong where you fill the you fill the [TS]

00:41:30   bottle up with so are you very familiar [TS]

00:41:33   with this technology I think the thing [TS]

00:41:35   where you light it under a glass and [TS]

00:41:37   then suck out the smoke from at the [TS]

00:41:38   glass you take a two-liter pop bottle [TS]

00:41:40   you cut the bottom off of it you know [TS]

00:41:43   just when you push in a bathtub [TS]

00:41:44   yeah you submerge it in water yeah then [TS]

00:41:47   you put a bowl on top of it like a bowl [TS]

00:41:49   made out of tin foil that you've you [TS]

00:41:51   poke little holes in you put a big block [TS]

00:41:54   of hash on the top you light it and then [TS]

00:41:55   you pull the bottle up out of the water [TS]

00:41:57   creating suction science fills the [TS]

00:42:02   bottle full of super intense dope smoke [TS]

00:42:06   and then you put your mouth over you [TS]

00:42:08   take the bowl of you put your mouth over [TS]

00:42:10   the top of the bottle and you push it [TS]

00:42:11   down into the water and it hyper in [TS]

00:42:15   Pelzer all this dope smoke into your [TS]

00:42:17   lungs and then you are big to put ice in [TS]

00:42:21   the water you could i never thought i'll [TS]

00:42:24   just now [TS]

00:42:24   no one in no one had invented that in [TS]

00:42:26   1978 you could be a god among men you [TS]

00:42:31   get you get so much free weed because [TS]

00:42:33   you would be like the Johnny Appleseed [TS]

00:42:34   of weed technology [TS]

00:42:36   yeah the problem of course is that I [TS]

00:42:37   don't smoke pot anymore that you would [TS]

00:42:39   have then I would have but I me now [TS]

00:42:41   going back then I'm not gonna go back [TS]

00:42:44   and I'm not going to go to necessarily i [TS]

00:42:46   teach you about multiverses i guess i [TS]

00:42:48   don't know you get my other idea i'll [TS]

00:42:49   get back to potato cakes in a minute but [TS]

00:42:51   my other idea that I'm already thinking [TS]

00:42:52   is is defeating the purpose would be if [TS]

00:42:55   once you see that matter once you've [TS]

00:42:57   talked them into the fact that you're a [TS]

00:42:59   time traveler you get a photo of you and [TS]

00:43:01   that person standing there Jeanne Jeanne [TS]

00:43:03   Lee holding next week's newspaper that's [TS]

00:43:08   gonna be hard to do on day one the I [TS]

00:43:10   think it should focus on the blue plate [TS]

00:43:11   special to start out and get some decent [TS]

00:43:12   shoes right [TS]

00:43:14   but anyway you know what it is boring [TS]

00:47:58   telling me that a lot of the information [TS]

00:48:01   that he has which he is the only [TS]

00:48:04   repository of the legend of filson and [TS]

00:48:08   all this knowledge of filson gear that [TS]

00:48:11   because filson was sold some time in the [TS]

00:48:14   in 2005 sold to a group of investors [TS]

00:48:17   headed by some douche bag from Ralph [TS]

00:48:19   Lorenz who tried to turn it into like a [TS]

00:48:23   national brand and they fired all the [TS]

00:48:26   old people just trying to like like at [TS]

00:48:28   are like REI north face off is exactly [TS]

00:48:32   tried to offshore the construction of [TS]

00:48:34   stuff to China all the stuff that was [TS]

00:48:36   terrible and then someone came in bought [TS]

00:48:40   filson back from them re-established [TS]

00:48:54   this guy this friend of mine is like one [TS]

00:48:57   of the only survivors who was there [TS]

00:48:58   through the whole thing she is he he is [TS]

00:49:02   the source of the knowledge that makes [TS]

00:49:04   filson what it is today and he only [TS]

00:49:09   knows about filter because 20 years ago [TS]

00:49:10   I made him feel like a dumb ass for not [TS]

00:49:13   knowing what the brand of the jacket I [TS]

00:49:16   was wearing which was up which was [TS]

00:49:17   already a twenty-year-old jacket that I [TS]

00:49:20   you know that I was wearing as a kind of [TS]

00:49:23   like well whatever i have whatever my [TS]

00:49:26   trip is but so so I was in this like [TS]

00:49:30   weird like what if I never existed [TS]

00:49:35   buying filson gear now I'm worshipping [TS]

00:49:38   this this the last brand that is being [TS]

00:49:41   made right and yet [TS]

00:49:44   like right now I feel like I'm i somehow [TS]

00:49:47   i played a I played a shaping role in [TS]

00:49:49   the fact that it even exists like it [TS]

00:49:51   does now and and then I went home and I [TS]

00:49:54   and I am I played with myself [TS]

00:50:02   John before I knew you I had a copy of [TS]

00:50:05   your first record album and it's clear [TS]

00:50:08   from the many letters that people who [TS]

00:50:16   let me ask you this and clearly you've [TS]

00:50:17   made your peace with that or not but [TS]

00:50:20   here's the thing like does it occur to [TS]

00:50:22   you the influence that you may have on a [TS]

00:50:25   people in a given day because that [TS]

00:50:27   that's freaky me like if I started [TS]

00:50:28   thinking about that a lot playing with [TS]

00:50:30   myself or otherwise that freaks me out a [TS]

00:50:33   little bit to think about again pick you [TS]

00:50:39   going to influence and he certainly [TS]

00:50:40   didn't wake up in whatever 1991 thinking [TS]

00:50:42   I'm gonna make somebody feel bad about [TS]

00:50:44   my jacket and now he's in Alaska [TS]

00:50:46   yeah it's not kind of its physical not [TS]

00:50:53   know how that little encounter on the [TS]

00:50:55   bus may transform the world and that [TS]

00:53:30   you the subway car [TS]

00:53:32   IC to you this train it idea i am not [TS]

00:53:36   worthy to be on this train and the door [TS]

00:53:38   closes and off he goes into the into the [TS]

00:53:41   tunnel and the thing is I don't know [TS]

00:53:44   what this guy does he's a he is a [TS]

00:53:46   mechanic or something [TS]

00:53:47   he works with his hands but someone saw [TS]

00:53:54   him in the world and he knew it he knew [TS]

00:53:59   that he had been seen and i do not know [TS]

00:54:03   if he was used to being seen that way he [TS]

00:54:08   works with some guys they know who he is [TS]

00:54:09   he just travels the subway into most [TS]

00:54:12   people's just a guy's just one more new [TS]

00:54:13   york guy on the subway but I saw him and [TS]

00:54:18   you know who knows whether he took that [TS]

00:54:21   knowledge that now he had been [TS]

00:54:22   recognized and he took that into that [TS]

00:54:25   subway tunnel and onto the rest of his [TS]

00:54:26   day and on to the rest of his life and I [TS]

00:54:29   don't know what happens i don't know [TS]

00:54:31   whether that is whether recognizing him [TS]

00:54:34   in that way like activated his powers in [TS]

00:54:40   a different light to mention that he [TS]

00:54:42   gets that a lot [TS]

00:54:43   no no no especially not New York as a [TS]

00:54:47   shoe city so there's a lot of people who [TS]

00:54:48   are pretty pleased with their shoes is [TS]

00:54:50   that had not and i'm sure he I'm sure he [TS]

00:54:52   gets people that are like oh nice boots [TS]

00:54:54   but to recognize what to recognize that [TS]

00:54:57   those boots were communicating something [TS]

00:55:00   about him I don't I well I don't know [TS]

00:55:04   i'm not sure i have never seen I have [TS]

00:55:07   never seen a story of a man ripped in [TS]

00:55:10   his boots like that one encounter where [TS]

00:55:14   I was just like those are that is not a [TS]

00:55:16   boot you can buy that is not a boot yet [TS]

00:55:18   as a boot you have to make [TS]

00:55:21   so that butterfly effect we're at its it [TS]

00:55:26   can be so small I mean with this with [TS]

00:55:28   this this kid I had no idea that he was [TS]

00:55:30   so that that filson story and my sort of [TS]

00:55:33   Alaskan a bravado combined at because i [TS]

00:55:39   was only 22 that it combined at that [TS]

00:55:42   time to be something that would make him [TS]

00:55:45   a person like change the course of his [TS]

00:55:48   life from being like a little mod rocker [TS]

00:55:50   kid to becoming an Alaskan hunting guide [TS]

00:55:54   you you have a moment like that on the [TS]

00:55:57   subway where you're like I see you I [TS]

00:55:59   know that you are bigger than you let on [TS]

00:56:01   and then he gets he gets goes down the [TS]

00:56:04   road and he's like wait a minute that [TS]

00:56:07   kids right I'm bigger than I let on my [TS]

00:56:09   finger [TS]

00:56:10   I'm bigger I am recognizable the thing [TS]

00:56:13   that the thing about me that is big is [TS]

00:56:15   recognizable to people and the problem [TS]

00:56:18   is that most people don't see it [TS]

00:56:21   not that i'm not actually that big but [TS]

00:56:23   he my team might have known that that [TS]

00:56:26   they were cool and that they were maybe [TS]

00:56:28   even unique but he maybe had [TS]

00:56:31   internalized that he was the one who had [TS]

00:56:33   the foot in those like that there was [TS]

00:56:35   something bigger going on in Nice [TS]

00:56:37   footwear but I mean he nodded at me like [TS]

00:56:39   the fucking boot I swear to you he knows [TS]

00:56:41   he knows it's just I'm not sure if he [TS]

00:56:44   knows that that other people can see him [TS]

00:56:47   uh-huh and that is a and i'm not even [TS]

00:56:50   sure whether that is a good thing that I [TS]

00:56:53   that I did by seeing him you know like [TS]

00:56:56   maybe the awareness that he is visible [TS]

00:56:58   to the to the world in that way maybe [TS]

00:57:02   that is maybe that like was a ripple in [TS]

00:57:05   the in the force something out but [TS]

00:57:08   anyway I I choose not to think about it [TS]

00:57:10   and I trust that man has the trust that [TS]

00:57:13   he has the capacity that he is capable [TS]

00:57:15   of going and using that power for good [TS]

00:57:18   because he seemed like one of he seemed [TS]

00:57:19   like a good wizard [TS]

00:57:21   mm I bad but you I bet you've had this [TS]

00:57:23   effect on on [TS]

00:58:07   just all think about what we've done [TS]

00:58:08   let's lower the lights [TS]

00:58:10   um I do i do feel like one of the things [TS]

00:58:16   one of the powers that we can we can [TS]

00:58:20   exercise with one another is that power [TS]

00:58:24   of recognition when you see someone in [TS]

00:58:27   the world and you see that they are [TS]

00:58:29   taking great care about a certain aspect [TS]

00:58:33   of themselves or you see that they are [TS]

00:58:36   but that they are you know that they are [TS]

00:58:39   interacting with the world in a way that [TS]

00:58:41   is more profound then then other people [TS]

00:58:45   are aware of in the small spaces that we [TS]

00:58:48   you know that we share with one another [TS]

00:58:49   when you see those things i have always [TS]

00:58:52   felt an obligation to acknowledge them [TS]

00:58:55   to the other person you know like I [TS]

00:58:57   cannot pass somebody who is who has who [TS]

00:59:03   has taken the time and energy to Taylor [TS]

00:59:06   themselves or two or somebody who does a [TS]

00:59:09   small kindness on the street that no one [TS]

00:59:11   else notices or someone who just has a [TS]

00:59:15   certain way of walking off the curb into [TS]

00:59:17   the street with that is that is more [TS]

00:59:20   elegant than the than the moment [TS]

00:59:22   necessitated i pay i pay attention to [TS]

00:59:27   those things overtly I will you know I [TS]

00:59:31   spend more time on the street bowing to [TS]

00:59:33   people and congratulating them [TS]

00:59:35   and actually impede my progress through [TS]

00:59:39   the city like it takes me an extra half [TS]

00:59:40   an hour to get anywhere because when I [TS]

00:59:43   see somebody who does something or as [TS]

00:59:46   you know or even is just walking around [TS]

00:59:49   and looking up at the second story of [TS]

00:59:51   buildings and noticing the cornices if I [TS]

00:59:54   see someone doing that I pay them the [TS]

00:59:56   compliment of noticing it and [TS]

00:59:56   compliment of noticing it and [TS]

01:00:00   that is a thing we can all do more of [TS]

01:00:04   mhm and just say like not only like nice [TS]

01:00:07   shoes but like haha i see your shoes [TS]

01:00:10   soon as I wish I i feel i think I never [TS]

01:00:13   thought of it quite the way you're [TS]

01:00:14   saying but I definitely feel the same [TS]

01:00:15   way I mean there's sometimes when you [TS]

01:00:19   see somebody you're like wow you know [TS]

01:00:20   what you win today [TS]

01:00:21   yeah like that you went to that you win [TS]

01:00:23   today like you you are i wish i could [TS]

01:00:24   say to like this African American lady [TS]

01:00:30   hat with feathers and has clearly has an [TS]

01:00:33   extraordinary level of dignity and [TS]

01:00:36   self-worth and carriage we just wanna go [TS]

01:00:39   you know what you are so fucking cool [TS]

01:00:41   and there's no way Adam there's not a [TS]

01:00:42   great way to say that without sounding [TS]

01:00:43   creepy i totally agree with you by [TS]

01:00:45   sending a carriage there's some [TS]

01:00:47   sometimes you just see the way somebody [TS]

01:00:48   handles themselves where you know [TS]

01:00:51   they're just in that Miles Davis says [TS]

01:00:52   not you know that is black but I mean [TS]

01:00:54   the cool and like the old sense of the [TS]

01:00:56   word like their self dest and well this [TS]

01:00:59   is what i have learned it in my life [TS]

01:01:01   which is that no one doesn't appreciate [TS]

01:01:04   being told that they look beautiful [TS]

01:01:05   today who and it is the easiest [TS]

01:01:09   compliment to pay and you can say it as [TS]

01:01:11   you pass someone on the street like you [TS]

01:01:14   look great today and then you just keep [TS]

01:01:17   going there's nothing creepy about it no [TS]

01:01:19   one doesn't like that like if you walk [TS]

01:01:21   past a 70 year old man who is wearing a [TS]

01:01:24   suit and walking with a cane and you say [TS]

01:01:27   you look great today sir over that there [TS]

01:01:32   is no there is no downside to that you [TS]

01:01:34   know and the same is true about a 24 [TS]

01:01:37   year old woman who looks great you can [TS]

01:01:38   pay her that compliment and it is not it [TS]

01:01:41   is this world that we're living in we're [TS]

01:01:43   paying a woman a compliment on the [TS]

01:01:45   street is some kind of objectifying [TS]

01:01:47   colonialization of her is a crazy as a [TS]

01:01:52   crazy upside-down the kind of shit i [TS]

01:01:54   believe when i was 21 and it's [TS]

01:01:56   absolutely not accurate [TS]

01:01:58   yeah I'll take we will raise it whatwhat [TS]

01:02:00   nobody likes is somebody who is [TS]

01:02:03   breaching their perimeter and acting [TS]

01:02:05   creepy and leering like nobody likes [TS]

01:02:07   that mainly it done and what you're [TS]

01:02:08   saying i totally agree that you're [TS]

01:02:09   saying [TS]

01:02:09   miley addendum [TS]

01:02:11   is too well first of all stay in motion [TS]

01:02:12   while you're doing it but I so on also [TS]

01:02:15   bring some specificity to it like maybe [TS]

01:02:18   if you say to that guy [TS]

01:02:19   sir that suit is impeccable yes is one [TS]

01:02:21   thing or you can just say like DC like [TS]

01:02:24   you pass that lady that 24 you're [TS]

01:02:26   letting you know what your hair is [TS]

01:02:28   awesome because there's nobody who has [TS]

01:02:30   cool hair and is 24 that doesn't want [TS]

01:02:32   you to go and you know what I'll do [TS]

01:02:33   sometimes I will leave off the dependent [TS]

01:02:36   clause or is it [TS]

01:02:39   yeah independent clause of I i almost [TS]

01:02:41   always hate tattoos but and i will say [TS]

01:02:44   that is a really cool fucking tattoo [TS]

01:02:46   uh-huh do you know what was that person [TS]

01:02:48   one here the only here like oh that tues [TS]

01:02:50   is that that's another tattoo good for [TS]

01:02:51   you know I mean if somebody is taking [TS]

01:02:53   the time to do something they appreciate [TS]

01:02:56   being appreciated [TS]

01:02:57   yeah that's right and it's and it's and [TS]

01:02:59   it's a rare moment in the day where you [TS]

01:03:01   can make it not about you for a second [TS]

01:03:03   like you know they don't care what your [TS]

01:03:05   feeling about tattoos is you can just [TS]

01:03:07   say i love that tattoo your hair looks [TS]

01:03:09   great you know like well thats maybe [TS]

01:03:12   that's maybe part of the core of it is [TS]

01:03:13   there's certainly some smoke some small [TS]

01:03:16   part of it that is about you the [TS]

01:03:18   compliment giver part of the problem [TS]

01:03:20   with the leering and the creepy and in [TS]

01:03:22   that stuff and getting into the spaces [TS]

01:03:24   the specificity of you look like you [TS]

01:03:25   have hard nipples like that's a little [TS]

01:03:27   too specific but like if the combat [TS]

01:03:29   compliment is really all about you that [TS]

01:03:31   giver and you know because this one guy [TS]

01:03:33   my neighborhood who I hope dies with [TS]

01:03:35   fire and he just walks around and he's [TS]

01:03:37   just I want to hate this guy so much he [TS]

01:03:39   just walks around one AD can i buy you [TS]

01:03:41   dinner tonight [TS]

01:03:42   oh yeah it's like understand you want me [TS]

01:03:45   to suck your cock that's hilarious [TS]

01:03:47   it's the david cross thing you know if [TS]

01:03:48   you asked a hundred women maybe one of [TS]

01:03:50   them is going to want to fuck on a pilot [TS]

01:03:51   rash [TS]

01:03:53   let's go the lottery okay but the thing [TS]

01:03:55   is a eight and you know and there's this [TS]

01:03:57   definition of love it's a little fruity [TS]

01:03:58   but one definition of love i think is [TS]

01:04:00   nice is that you care more about the [TS]

01:04:02   happiness and Welfare of someone else do [TS]

01:04:03   you do about your own I think that [TS]

01:04:05   applies to compliments to and the thing [TS]

01:04:07   is if that complement is tendered uh [TS]

01:04:09   with dignity and honesty and enthusiasm [TS]

01:04:13   and then you fucking move on i don't i [TS]

01:04:17   don't think there's a world in which [TS]

01:04:18   somebody doesn't appreciate you know [TS]

01:04:19   what if that person let's be honest as [TS]

01:04:21   cool as they might be if they don't [TS]

01:04:22   appreciate that fuck them [TS]

01:04:24   that's their problem and it's not and [TS]

01:04:25   you don't even have to carry it with you [TS]

01:04:26   because you're already down the street [TS]

01:04:29   I mean I will say that everyone smile I [TS]

01:04:30   stop and say madam [TS]

01:04:32   yeah your décolletage is raising a [TS]

01:04:37   volcanic feeling in my in the in the [TS]

01:04:41   mountain of a man but i am madame masque [TS]

01:04:44   it was candor your first year first [TS]

01:04:46   through third petticoats left be non [TS]

01:04:49   plus [TS]

01:04:50   and then i said goodnight have left me [TS]

01:04:52   rigid and curious are you familiar with [TS]

01:04:54   the female orgasm is it a thing that you [TS]

01:04:57   have experienced firsthand is that just [TS]

01:04:59   felt up it is now doom all dignity man [TS]

01:05:07   fucking dignity it's in short supply [TS]

01:05:09   because the problem is i just had this [TS]

01:05:11   this has to do with it everything we're [TS]

01:05:13   talking about your everything that's [TS]

01:05:14   important if these misunderstandings [TS]

01:05:16   about things that are are they seem like [TS]

01:05:20   shades of grey but they really aren't [TS]

01:05:22   dignity is not the same thing as being [TS]

01:05:24   stuck-up dignity is not the same thing [TS]

01:05:27   as conceit no it isn't an option right [TS]

01:05:30   and I mean absolutely I've i have seen [TS]

01:05:33   all kinds of people of different classes [TS]

01:05:35   you know the thing is a lot of people [TS]

01:05:38   who are rich have historical dignity and [TS]

01:05:41   they've never had their ass well and [TS]

01:05:42   truly kicked right some-some it's easy [TS]

01:05:45   to have dignity if you've never known a [TS]

01:05:47   faceplant but there are a lot of people [TS]

01:05:48   who by virtue of the fact of having been [TS]

01:05:50   through so many face-plants have a kind [TS]

01:05:52   of quiet dignity and you could feel it [TS]

01:05:54   in a room with somebody like that walks [TS]

01:05:56   in you could beat the fucking DMV and [TS]

01:05:59   you see somebody who might be like a [TS]

01:06:01   tubercular Mexican man but like you're [TS]

01:06:04   like you know what [TS]

01:06:05   look at the way that carries himself [TS]

01:06:06   there's no way on my best healthy day [TS]

01:06:08   that I could carry myself that well and [TS]

01:06:10   you feel it in the room [TS]

01:06:11   yeah I honestly I honestly believe that [TS]

01:06:13   I think dignity as undignified as i may [TS]

01:06:15   seem sometimes I really honor it and [TS]

01:06:18   other people i would like to seek it out [TS]

01:06:20   and myself and get something that we've [TS]

01:06:22   lost because it feels stancy there is so [TS]

01:06:26   much we've lost because it feels fancy [TS]

01:06:29   and I was thinking about this the other [TS]

01:06:30   day she's we live in a culture now where [TS]

01:06:34   we we have spent so much time feeling [TS]

01:06:40   that we have spent so much time at [TS]

01:06:42   saying to ourselves over and over that [TS]

01:06:44   narcissism is a is like this loving of [TS]

01:06:51   oneself that is unbecoming and so all of [TS]

01:06:55   our narcissism as a culture is directed [TS]

01:06:58   at hating ourselves and we think that [TS]

01:07:01   like it makes it more authentic [TS]

01:07:03   yeah that because we hate ourselves [TS]

01:07:04   somehow the fact that we are still [TS]

01:07:07   spending all day long hate thinking only [TS]

01:07:10   about ourselves somehow it's not [TS]

01:07:12   narcissistic because it's because it is [TS]

01:07:13   directed it into this blackness [TS]

01:07:16   oh and I mean let's go back to the [TS]

01:07:17   Greeks let's go back to our system [TS]

01:07:19   doesn't matter what the emotion is if [TS]

01:07:21   it's an inward turning emotion that you [TS]

01:07:23   are turning over in your mind for its [TS]

01:07:25   own sake whether you love or hate [TS]

01:07:27   yourself if you're obsessed about that [TS]

01:07:29   you're a narcissist right and so frankly [TS]

01:07:32   of the two having lived in a culture [TS]

01:07:34   here in the northwest where for 10 years [TS]

01:07:36   hating oneself was was basically the [TS]

01:07:39   only rear the only creative reaction you [TS]

01:07:42   could have to the world are the only [TS]

01:07:44   acceptable creative reaction you could [TS]

01:07:45   have to the world was hating yourself [TS]

01:07:46   and realizing like you know one of the [TS]

01:07:49   two I would much rather people walk [TS]

01:07:51   around if they're going to be thinking [TS]

01:07:53   about themselves all the time when I [TS]

01:07:54   love themselves you know I mean and [TS]

01:07:57   frankly I think the route to thinking [TS]

01:07:59   about other people comes through loving [TS]

01:08:03   yourself rather than hating yourself and [TS]

01:08:05   I've watched so many people artists and [TS]

01:08:08   otherwise who go down this death spiral [TS]

01:08:09   of self-hate where they become the most [TS]

01:08:13   narcissistic the least like lovable the [TS]

01:08:15   least likable the least useful people [TS]

01:08:18   over because they are consumed with [TS]

01:08:21   their with their own failings and I you [TS]

01:08:25   know I'm guilty of this myself who you [TS]

01:08:28   know i would add this area and I think [TS]

01:08:30   it changes with generations and this new [TS]

01:08:32   generation one of the one of the reasons [TS]

01:08:35   that people our age is so mad that [TS]

01:08:38   people our age are so mad at at at 21 [TS]

01:08:42   year olds is that they seem to be having [TS]

01:08:44   fun a lot of them [TS]

01:08:45   and you know it's a generation that [TS]

01:08:48   maybe is going to turn the tide and be [TS]

01:08:50   frivolous and be honest aqui [TS]

01:08:54   but I feel like that is as that's as [TS]

01:08:57   valid a valid form of of like a [TS]

01:09:01   self-obsession is as any of the grunge [TS]

01:09:04   era boohoo and I really do [TS]

01:09:08   I mean what could also what could be [TS]

01:09:09   maybe we're both guilty this right now [TS]

01:09:11   but what could be more narcissistic than [TS]

01:09:12   criticizing someone for not hating [TS]

01:09:14   themselves in the same way that you do [TS]

01:09:16   mmm the one does you know what I mean [TS]

01:09:18   and that's why I think punk rock is [TS]

01:09:20   bullshit [TS]

01:09:21   hmm i'm not gonna write that down you're [TS]

01:09:24   not going to write your ear have an [TS]

01:09:26   opportunity to write punk rock is [TS]

01:09:27   bullshit on a three-by-five cards right [TS]

01:09:30   now and then give that give that over [TS]

01:09:32   the Internet to some fan and you're not [TS]

01:09:33   going to deprive them of that L s.h.i.t [TS]

01:09:38   got it on LS HIV no that was me [TS]

01:09:43   pretending like i was finishing writing [TS]

01:09:53   addendum to that I agree with you but [TS]

01:09:54   here's my slight addendum to that is [TS]

01:09:56   that loving yourself and accepting [TS]

01:09:58   yourself are far from being the same [TS]

01:09:59   thing because there are a lot of people [TS]

01:10:00   who really fucking love themselves to [TS]

01:10:03   the point of wanting to cry how much [TS]

01:10:04   they love themselves but they haven't [TS]

01:10:05   ever really accepted themselves and as [TS]

01:10:07   Morsi has told us [TS]

01:10:09   ah why don't you accept why can't you [TS]

01:12:27   pull offs and bends and shit when you [TS]

01:12:28   want to [TS]

01:12:29   he approached becoming a rock musician [TS]

01:12:31   with a single-minded sense of purpose [TS]

01:13:37   of the stage and watched dozens of bad [TS]

01:13:40   of shitty bands that that started well I [TS]

01:13:43   does begin called i turn off your pedals [TS]

01:13:46   and see what you sound like a story [TS]

01:13:48   about the time I came in to audition for [TS]

01:13:50   the Western State hurricane now he came [TS]

01:13:52   in and he was like you know I think you [TS]

01:13:54   guys are amazing i think you need [TS]

01:13:55   another guitar player this circuit 97-98 [TS]

01:13:57   yeah somewhere around there he came in [TS]

01:13:59   and he he had this really cool les paul [TS]

01:14:02   he was very cool-looking dude super cool [TS]

01:14:05   kid and he set up his amp and it is [TS]

01:14:07   Carrie and he had a ac30 was so cool and [TS]

01:14:11   and then he starts setting up his pedals [TS]

01:14:13   and he sets up these pedals in this [TS]

01:14:17   semi-circle around himself and I'm [TS]

01:14:20   sitting I'm standing there and I have [TS]

01:14:21   one you have one petal I have a rap [TS]

01:14:23   battle [TS]

01:14:23   your arms are folded your seating you're [TS]

01:14:25   just waiting I'm just when I'm standing [TS]

01:14:27   but I'm standing there with my [TS]

01:14:29   rickenbacker my rat pedal and i'm [TS]

01:14:31   watching as the pages here that's a [TS]

01:14:32   chunk to calc as your plugs impact [TS]

01:14:34   cables and you know it and the and every [TS]

01:14:37   one of them has a non volt battery and [TS]

01:14:39   he sets up this semi circle of petals [TS]

01:14:41   around himself that is that is [TS]

01:14:43   three-quarters of a circle around him is [TS]

01:14:47   something like 24 way they're not on the [TS]

01:14:51   board [TS]

01:14:51   they're not on a blog and each one of [TS]

01:14:53   them individually in a semi-circle [TS]

01:14:55   perfect like he and he keeps kind of [TS]

01:14:57   adjusting the radius as he goes about [TS]

01:15:00   this circle is paper great lunch i'm [TS]

01:15:02   watching him and I'm like and it and I [TS]

01:15:06   say you know so uh so that's a lot of [TS]

01:15:10   pedals and he goes well you know every [TS]

01:15:13   one of them does a different thing and I [TS]

01:15:14   just use them i use a season to taste i [TS]

01:15:18   use them as [TS]

01:15:19   as colour and I'm thinking wow you know [TS]

01:15:24   this was at a time when I never touched [TS]

01:15:27   the volume or tone knob on my guitar for [TS]

01:15:29   any other purpose then then compulsively [TS]

01:15:32   to make sure they were turned all the [TS]

01:15:34   way we're like not feeding back [TS]

01:15:36   no no I never adjusted those knobs in [TS]

01:15:38   any way other than to have make sure [TS]

01:15:39   they were turned all the way up and at a [TS]

01:15:41   certain point I realized that I was so [TS]

01:15:43   compulsive about touching these knobs to [TS]

01:15:45   make sure they were all the way up but i [TS]

01:15:47   just put duct tape across all of the [TS]

01:15:49   knobs on my guitar so that I couldn't [TS]

01:15:51   touch them and they were just always I [TS]

01:15:53   never made any adjustments of any kind [TS]

01:15:55   to any of my gear I just set all of it [TS]

01:15:58   on 11 and Ben flu you know and so I'm [TS]

01:16:04   thinking to myself maybe this is what [TS]

01:16:05   maybe this guy's one of these guys that [TS]

01:16:07   knows how pedals work that knows how [TS]

01:16:09   knobs work and he's the reason he has [TS]

01:16:12   for delay pedals is that every one of [TS]

01:16:14   them is set to a different thing maybe [TS]

01:16:15   this maybe this guy's the head [TS]

01:16:17   I just thinking maybe it's the edge and [TS]

01:16:18   he's going to pull out something I've [TS]

01:16:20   never heard before [TS]

01:16:21   yeah and so we start playing and the [TS]

01:16:23   first song we play is unsalted butter [TS]

01:16:25   western state hurricanes version not [TS]

01:16:28   long winters version western state [TS]

01:16:30   version was was more rock and roll but [TS]

01:16:33   still like bow no don't it's like it's [TS]

01:16:38   like a tune with a bow bouncing little [TS]

01:16:41   melody and this guy starts to play the [TS]

01:16:44   rhythm part and within 45 seconds he has [TS]

01:16:49   found a reason to turn every petal on [TS]

01:16:51   it's got the flanger and he's going Wow [TS]

01:16:58   and so we get to the end of the song is [TS]

01:17:01   just ripping my face often we get this [TS]

01:17:03   on I was like well that shit this thing [TS]

01:17:06   and it that's why don't we move on and [TS]

01:17:10   we'll we'll try something that's a [TS]

01:17:12   little bit you know a little bit softer [TS]

01:17:13   a little bit more melodic this is gotta [TS]

01:17:15   sort of more about like a it's more a [TS]

01:17:18   cleaner tone he's like okay great great [TS]

01:17:21   cool and we start playing you know some [TS]

01:17:23   we start playing [TS]

01:17:24   through with love or whatever some song [TS]

01:17:26   that's like that's got a pretty pretty [TS]

01:17:29   bouncy beat and it's very cordial and [TS]

01:17:32   within 45 seconds he's just all and the [TS]

01:17:41   entire rehearsal was like this he just [TS]

01:17:43   he season to taste and by season to [TS]

01:17:46   taste he meant all 21 pedals on at all [TS]

01:17:50   times but at the end of every song he [TS]

01:17:53   turned everyone of a month like somehow [TS]

01:17:55   it's about choc chocolate touch the [TS]

01:17:58   launchpad of like starting the tune and [TS]

01:18:01   then hitting each pedal bum like that [TS]

01:18:03   was his tone was like I don't I really [TS]

01:18:06   don't think that this is what what is [TS]

01:18:08   that the obvious reason you already know [TS]

01:18:09   why I'm asking this they didn't have a [TS]

01:18:11   board was the first of all it sounds [TS]

01:18:12   like he's in his mom's basement where he [TS]

01:18:15   has a lot of control over what he does [TS]

01:18:16   if he had done that a lot and it played [TS]

01:18:18   a lot of live shows with that shit he [TS]

01:18:21   would have a board but also in my head [TS]

01:18:24   I'm thinking this is 11 points of [TS]

01:18:26   failure [TS]

01:18:27   yeah because I mean I i mean i guess you [TS]

01:18:29   know when i played with pedals in the [TS]

01:18:31   past maybe I'm old and this technology [TS]

01:18:33   has improved but there were some things [TS]

01:18:35   where like if that battery died you lost [TS]

01:18:37   the signal [TS]

01:18:38   yeah it was it wasn't just that your [TS]

01:18:39   face shifter wasn't as good you had you [TS]

01:18:42   i mean if it was if it went out and did [TS]

01:18:44   not take this rig on the road it would [TS]

01:18:46   be impossible [TS]

01:18:47   I mean if you're okay so if you're [TS]

01:18:49   Charles bissell who by the way who's [TS]

01:18:51   they might be giants cover of the [TS]

01:18:52   endocrine is pretty great but if you're [TS]

01:18:54   if you're coming boy literally best [TS]

01:18:56   nickname pedal boy trusted friends like [TS]

01:18:58   a you you know he does magic with that [TS]

01:19:01   stuff what he does is very very unusual [TS]

01:19:04   it doesn't you think I mean I know it's [TS]

01:19:06   not everybody's taste they want to [TS]

01:19:07   personally my favorite bands but I mean [TS]

01:19:09   here's the thing about Charles and you [TS]

01:19:12   know this from firsthand experience and [TS]

01:19:13   Charles has a Stratocaster plug directly [TS]

01:19:15   into a fender twin he makes it sound [TS]

01:19:19   incredible [TS]

01:19:20   he's a guitar teacher and he plays like [TS]

01:19:23   one his playing is impeccable and he [TS]

01:19:27   does shit that I would never tell [TS]

01:19:28   anybody in their first five years of [TS]

01:19:30   guitar playing what if i told you to do [TS]

01:19:32   that thing we go hog across above the [TS]

01:19:35   neck [TS]

01:19:36   yeah like you don't want to do that [TS]

01:19:37   Charles and Eddie Van Halen nobody else [TS]

01:19:39   is allowed to do that ever [TS]

01:19:41   well I do it sometimes when I'm really [TS]

01:19:43   you know when i'm really 14 your glasses [TS]

01:19:45   fall off again or I'm really the rusting [TS]

01:19:48   or that time trusting my pants zipper at [TS]

01:19:51   the people who probably video of their [TS]

01:19:53   hurricanes on that TV show when you [TS]

01:19:55   couldn't go huh yeah and man is that was [TS]

01:19:58   it was it like that when you guys were [TS]

01:19:59   always play like was nor was the [TS]

01:20:01   chuckles all right [TS]

01:20:02   yah my glasses would fly across the [TS]

01:20:03   stage or something and-and-and toward [TS]

01:20:05   the last for the end of the rest and [TS]

01:20:08   hurricanes run we start we get halfway [TS]

01:20:10   through Nora and and everybody else in [TS]

01:20:13   the band would like go to the outside [TS]

01:20:16   edge of the stage and kind of cower [TS]

01:20:18   behind their amps because they knew that [TS]

01:20:20   I was about kind of cycle devil dogs [TS]

01:20:24   were in the pots that was at a time when [TS]

01:20:26   I was I had stopped drinking and doing [TS]

01:20:28   drugs but i still had a tremendous [TS]

01:20:29   kinetic energy inside me right that only [TS]

01:20:33   came out in rock and roll and it came [TS]

01:20:36   out as a kind of violent explosion of [TS]

01:20:38   clothes like everything together [TS]

01:20:44   sorry it's either naked gay [TS]

01:20:47   [Music] [TS]
