Good evening Internet Viva Comcastro Viva la Revolution. My name is Max Groves. I’m really excited to introduce our guest Evan Fowler. Evan is the writer of a recent film in Atlanta called he good grief suicide hotline. He was voted several years ago as one of the best in Atlanta for stand up comedy that was slightly interrupted with medical problems. Evan shows us the dark side of karma this is a very mature conversation with you it’s a very tense place. I think this is some of the most emotional material we’ve ever published while also staying as a fun band three kinds of conversations for most of the time. So Evan thank you so much for sharing all of these stories. Here we go. Yeah that’s a lot more common you just start somewhere you have to choose and the conversation was structured such that in any panel you start you can pick it up and understand his point about the cyclical nature of existence and then it’s a hit he hits he would be heavy handed metaphor if you’re reading it in a circle and it’s like the good one. I love Alan I love anybody who thinks they’re a fucking genius Sharman like all of us some of this is gotten so into creativity that they have transversed to another place where they think they have magic. Well I’ve stopped shaving since the show started. So like just working on that with your beard. Yes and aspirations to that final cave dwelling place. I almost got that right when I was in the hospital I didn’t Shavers seven months but then it just looked like this crackhead just looked like jail crack at one hundred percent better and probably a pretty for them to write sort of keeps. Yeah and I lost eighty six pounds like this fuck and I looked like a refugee from get out afterwards. Cut down on the Auschwitz references. General you have no idea what we reference on the show. That’s true my pancreas exploded. Oh shit. That’s not actually what happened with the towns but the easiest way for me to describe McGregor is basically split in that I spent a year in the hospital and it was no fun. Better yet more love I mean I’m good I’m in the game. I’m back and in the swing of things. Not really better but I didn’t expect to be. So how do you I mean well let’s start with the basics. What does the pancreas do the pancreas. He creates in the times that help you break down food it helps regulate your blood sugar and basically just most things that involve your digestion. They have to go through the pancreas or through chemicals for use by the Patriots win when it starts malfunctioning in not creating this chemical correctly or like it was in my case or spilling out into the rest your body extremely corrosive chemicals. They eat in the rest of your body instead of eating the food the food is dormant and all of that basically translates into pain like is how it feels and everything just turns into broken glass and then just glass grinding on gravel ground and I’m glad it’s I would not recommend that. And you want to size up a response of the one today which is like famous come loose on your bloodstream or something and that’s fine I’ll take it from from Mad Titan. But that’s more the fact that it happened for no reason and I can’t ever drink again you know kind of bacon again and things because I don’t I just think this is an early now I’m interested so what’s the what’s the cure to this given your pancreas yet you know there’s no cure. Yeah you know they they do do paying restrains Lance but I have pancreatitis like my pain is not the problem like my but I am the problem with they put a new pancreas and it would just it would just like the other one. But what is interesting. Vaguely. My guess is you know most people die from this most like when they get in the position that I was in like eighty or seventy nine percent my papers was dead which is enough to kill you like on a percent. I survived didn’t really know why I got the system thing on to going to floors in a specialist and after the after he was done he’s like did you know that you have another pancreas was another. Yeah you got papers developments where you have to pay increases. I know I have to pay increases again I’m surprised that your surgeon didn’t mention it here I am too and I went back he wants to really work on a minimizing that primary and says and I can see the other one behind Yeah right and I went back in time to my original surgeon and I was like Oh so you have a special story. FUCK I’M A told me I have to pay Kristen’s like oh well yeah yeah of course. Yeah yeah it was like oh you didn’t tell me I’m a mutant I would fucking Remember there’s no way for me to do an impression of a doctor a doctor everybody but even though I don’t think yeah just that they’re going to believe how he had docked in that Riviera open you up fixed of one out of to pay a little Bangor is what it is like when you’re when you’re in utero in your mind in your Mom you you develop normally just like everything goes into one pancreas and my body it was some sort of some weird deficiency or whatever split off into a night and I still tiny but it’s not even really a pancreas perceives little pink but there’s just enough to not do anything except let you survive a major pancreas So then here’s what you’re supposed to and but all developers of the whole body with a tiny bit of increase or maybe I was destined to exist solely to experience this pain. What a father to communicate to the rest of life Robert Spain I mean that’s that’s like a very it’s a very definitive statement about pain how much pain. Yeah I mean it’s kind of unquantifiable. It’s one of those things like I’ve never been able to accurately I think describe it to someone to where I feel like they really understood like a doctor like I was trying to get him to quit it’s something I was like So what hurts worse like this or colon cancer. He was like you know I don’t know if there’s no way to judge that but you certainly seem like you’re in more pain than colon cancer patients that we had a dam or a sort of like the level survival. There’s are so unlikely now the pain is more enduring. I don’t know if you’d be surprised what you can live with but I mean if you want like an analogy basically like I said like I was saying before we started like you know it feels like your insides are packed with glass and gravel and every movement you make shifts it around everywhere which you know presses it against your kidneys which makes the kidneys burn and squeeze. And meanwhile where the actual pancreas is here is like a spear that someone is just jiggling around and that’s what I experience every minute of that would you like some sugar for their coffee or anything to make this experience lightly my wife and I kind of dig it. Like I can’t drink anymore. And every When you quit when you quit drinking you quickly realize that every drink is sweet in the world like every drink is fuckin Swedish especially in the south with the fuckin sweet tea engine and there’s just nothing to drink. If you you know I like beer. I’ve always liked beer you know or or just something that’s not super sweet. It just ain’t shit. This is this is delicious. We better I get. So right now you’re and I’m into your and your pain. Yes there are well I mean yeah but I mean I’m medicated so you know I think a certain dosage of pain medicine at all times. So it’s not you know if I wasn’t medicated I probably wouldn’t even be talking. But you know I’m you know I’m in the game sort of you guys film before or after the surgery before but I don’t think sense played a part in Bob places featured. Or a couple months back I mean I can still function. You know I this is why I try to avoid talking about this stuff as much positive it makes me sound way more like fucked up that I am like you know I mean I am fucked up but I you know I’m here you know I’m up in the game room toy business doing a bunch of bull shit. Well you can play every like recovering meth guy bringing his life back. Well that’s the thing you know. That’s my agent was telling me it’s like it’s so perfect because we film all this shit about drug addiction is OK and I got this one role as a drug addict and I was like So did I need to take my measurements or something like stress in them like momentum and she’s like not what you are it’s fun and wait for the street map addict you think my personal wardrobe writer said today well you see just what I wear I don’t really know why or why methods would particularly be into preacher comics but why not why wouldn’t they be sure. I think in this version is a meth addict medics or people they can do whatever people about that it’s where in the comics I would steer them down the Vertigo line that I think of a good choice am I should maintain a vertical comic because I feel like whenever you’re methamphetamines you’re probably well I mean are you hyper focused on this or are you just so scatterbrained in tents on everything. It’s both at the same time my dad was a big meth addict and like and we had this like very distant relationship where for a lot of reasons but the only way we were ever able to like relate to each other was like math occasionally and I would go over there and we just get spun out and he showed me all these art projects might have been an artist. It just was sort of like a redneck that doesn’t run trash piles and found shit so like you know it open the door to his garage and there’s like a twelve foot spring with the symbol on the end of it and it’s like hanging out of the mouth of this big like Burger King man the head thing was the most frightening thing about our heritage as a really terrifying but he was definitely. All the focus on that but then he forgot to pay all his bills. So it’s less than a couple of the artist man. Yeah Garrick these eccentricities are what are the cost of genius. It’s true. Yeah and you know having a lot of really gross sex with a lot of really gross women in Covington Gross is a it’s a relative term and in Covington it’s really relative. They are pretty much all right everyone Covington was there and I’m not just no no I’ve actually got a court out in Covington and it’s one of the moments when you realize like I am so specifically in Covington right now when there’s nothing else around here you can just like accidentally wind up in Covington you’re like you set out on a mission and you get to cut it and you know that’s usually a mathematician do and actually speaking of which last summer I went to visit my Then before he died I went to the Taco Bell before I went to his house and while I was standing there in line this very intense burnt plastic smile came coming out of the kitchen escaping this waft of very old masquerade smoke I’m home welcoming to yeah yeah welcome home. We didn’t change at all have you James we’re still smoking meth in the Taco Bell now like it was it was Jesus it was so apt it was perfect. Of course their smoky meadow but I may have a childhood memories associated with like one smell you know like maybe grandma’s certain like weird. So for the burning candles on a birthday cake and there are certain songs on it comes back through burning plastic. Yeah really brings it there. Breaking Bad style. Oh I have a friend who he grew up in the trap trappers. Oh yeah and I think it was a detailed list of all the Atlanta traps from the rap scene or something and I was and there’s a good amount of him I’m always making jokes about that in my stand up and trivia one over and make a joke about like somebody wants heroin or something the crowd or say something that heroin crowds in the era when I make a joke like you want here are only going to bomb. Or the avenue Bubba. They didn’t know they were about five or six times I was actually instructing them on how to get here. Like actual literal instructions if they’d just done and they would have gone and gotten there on that night. Not that I go get heroin but I know how. Just because I’m a part of the scene I’m part of the city. I like to know what’s available. You might be broaching on criminal behavior of a sudden by accident but I think you can contain it with them as comedy it’s just you know that’s what they were saying about stand up is that everyone thinks you’re either telling the truth or lying in different situations like I like convincing audiences sometimes that I have a family and children which is because you know I’m I’m on the stage I’m at the microphone and whatever I say is reality. Anything that I say because you can’t disprove me you don’t know who I am. So you know whatever this whole bit about how my dad and my son has the most beautiful big but it’s not a sexual thing it’s just a beautiful fucking day and whenever I bring it up people get really weirded out and like really freak downstair numbers but then they see the dick and they’re like I’m so handsome in the I would like to thank you for showing that so you can picture a baby dick in your phone just go and check the thing out I think that would be too far. Yeah I think that would be criminal. I don’t I don’t think you stole this joke because I found I heard it in Brazil seven years ago but it was it was awesome. This old man who didn’t speak a lick of English comes up to me and I’m listening to this through an interpreter and he sits there and says that he loved his mother so very much the most beautiful woman in the world. She took care of her and then when he was a young child his father died and she was a single mother in Brazil they were poor super poor third world poor but she was making it happen by by hook or by crook City of God and he had one picture remaining of her do I see the picture. Yes of course I want to see this picture. Then he pulled it out and it’s this really really beautiful woman holding this baby with bokken Mandingo ka. I’m just hanging off of it like eighteen inches thick just like a smitten right there. Spock if you and I mean like you know I saw him like he did he didn’t think it was the gringo who was there just like to hear the joke and then of course like rap to that there’s a couple other like e-mails because he was like New Year’s there’s like a bunch of Brando’s there and he immediately takes as interpreter some parent from some parenting goes up to the next pretty girl you can find it tells the same story over again and you know in America you can be arrested for that now. A couple thing woman arrested for taking pictures of their children in the bath tub and then trying to develop the film apparently people still do that some people use actual cameras and get it developed at like a drug store and then they call the cops program. Bateman That’s as absurd as a teenage girl taking a selfie. And now she’s charged with child pornography. Particular photo. That’s a super common story in Georgia we have an insanely overinflated sex offender registry in georgia florida tennessee and serve the Lord of us deserve. That’s true but that’s Cubans they go. CORNYN the vote in these are little girls. Well I do love how the South has got are like OK we might be bad but we’re not as bad as. Yeah keeps going southwest. So it’s like South Carolina is like oh you know we’re bad but have you seen some of the South Georgia guys like oh fuck them but have you seen the fort in Alabama guys albums like fuck them have you seen Mississippi misspeak like Arkansas Arkansas and like you know Mississippi I have lived. Potato back and forth I mean the wall when I was a kid when people were on T.V. reference Atlanta Georgia and they would say it with an accent. Now you may be lying to Georgia like you know actually. Jaja Yeah and it’s just like you make it sound like a redneck place this is not a redneck place we’re surrounded by redneck places on all sides but this is the one place that you shouldn’t say that about Atlanta where Alabama with this idea listen to sports radio recently I have not I do not support I have I have not was in the sports radio for the better part of three or four years and then just I guess I ran out of podcasts and I had nothing else. However you run out of gas there’s like a hundred million it was to me it’s like running out of sites on the Internet. OK now OK you’re getting there is a day when you look at all the cats on the Internet. I’m not I think it’s no more now I have to bike so I think it gets to make it to what it was either six or seven one because there’s two two sports radio channels in Atlanta and that’s and that’s where it’s almost like the You Tube comments comes to life that people who are sitting there giving you their opinion. I mean it’s currently May and they’re talking about the gators cow in the Knoxville like right now. It’s insane that some good commentary from Covington Georgia one crazy people have no timeline you know I noticed last night there was an article on Yahoo News which has the world’s most upsetting comment section by the way and that it was an article about Jane Fonda and why she won’t apologize for her plastic surgery or some stupid thing I don’t know I clicked on the article actually now I clicked on the article because I was curious to see if the first comment would be something about Hanoi Jane the first thirty comments were about you know it Jane you know I’m going to get it done in Canada that was fucked up. Done that but that shit was in the sixty’s you know this is two thousand and fifteen and you still have her memory Well it’s annoying Jane like a traitor. Yeah basically I mean it was traitorous you know she went there and she hung out with the Viet Cong and and she took a picture on top of one of the cannons the interior to a return to Earth. Artillery cannons they used. Down American planes it was treasonous behavior is that you know there’s no coming back from that ever like you’re dead to everyone forever we’re going to work and waste our time for the rest of our lives going off about this and being incident probably not I don’t but you could say some crazy thing like she was a CIA spy. Lucille Ball was heard that went further. Yeah like they would often get celebrities to join in like the cause with the F.B.I. or CIA and be part of the state departments like bullshit. Whenever Tory international What was the ladies and the cook the sympathizers. Meryl Streep later in a movie two years ago she looks as the chef who didn’t think they’re going to actually back it up the talent it was the only famous chef before Rachael Ray can think you know I was Julia Child. Yes that’s exactly right. And also that guy who won. He had like the Gong Show. Yeah Chuck Barris. So having read that book. No but I saw the movie movies great. I thought that movie was fantastic but that book is even better the tenderest mind right. Yeah yeah yeah the book is even better because he believes it like you know in the movie they kind of they I guess they actually does sell it as a straight story but when you read the book it’s such bullshit like you know the movie you’re kind of like well maybe I have an absolute bullshit book in a way that he did all these things especially as he describes himself so cool when you get this is where things he is the most bad as SON OF A BITCH OF ALL TIME. This could just be true but I think it is a really good story starring him self and that bucket. Yeah I think so but you know if you can have a psychotic break make it fun right now because otherwise like what do you what do you know for I just wish that you know it the seventy’s like people read these exposes like celebrities would be like fuck this is going to tell all of them like we’re in this crazy book it was like I can take down like this. If teen careers and shouldn’t hint that it is more that all. Well we also have a better tabloid. We have a better quality of criminal down event T.M.V. single handedly deserves the pillar to prize every fucking year because they get scoops on everyone except for apparently one of our podcast guests but everyone else except for her. She gives the and it’s not just them it’s the whole industry. Oh yeah it’s it’s it’s a multi-million dollar industry just to be a tabloid fuckin leech. Yeah now it’s true. How large Hollywood is. Yeah I think it’s hilarious that with T M Z in particular like the stories there are clearly not true are believed by everyone you know the stories that are that are true are the ones that everyone doubts it’s really weird like John Travolta is clearly a gay man I don’t know like how adept you are gaydar but I’m pretty good and that motherfucker is a gay man. What would be really I learned was that his dancing skills with our first clues that picture they have of him getting on a plane and open mouth making out with a man and I asked him about today’s European OK well I got I got a lot of European friends we don’t hardcore make out we’re going to part for a couple hours I mean and there’s nothing wrong with that I just I just think is very funny the people that are not on that one and then the you know I was trying to think of the other one I had one for go slow or there was the picture you had on Reddit where some dude randomly on the Internet was like hey I was working out at three A.M. they get it right and it’s a picture of John Travolta and all the comments where did John Travolta stroll in for man asked in the gym at three in the morning. Well that’s true maybe a lot of that one is like when you heard that story. Did you have any doubt that that was true. Like that sounds right. That sounds correct. That it absolutely something I can imagine that weird Scientology. Just a guy you know just kind of like a pump and it’s like an iron a discount looking at you from across the room in the middle of the night. This kind of skis and you out really badly to make this we have many questions that are fever which can feel the sassy wreckers though you may have this weird basic basic you know awful. Do you know I can use you I couldn’t survive it I don’t know why so I ripped it out of me. It’s weird it’s like a Jack Reacher movie he’s basically playing Jack Reacher plays like this. This enabled policeman quits and he’s like off helping people and bring him back in for this weird Russian man kind of strike of like I didn’t read the Jack Reacher series how ever I did see on Reddit. One guy post himself as a background actor on that movie his credit on I.M.D.B. was suspicious onlooker and everyone in Reddit like goes to it so much so that his page gets so many hits he’s now list above Tom Cruise on the movie listings. Ridley Yes because his page got more hits than Tom Cruise that week from the porn or anything else weird man I was in this thing in a day and it wasn’t going to ask me anything but this guy was saying that he was with his grandfather who was in the Wason S.S. as it wasn’t often wasn’t right talking about a Nazi he was not. Yes grandmother was a Nazi and like not just a Nazi but a Waffen S.S. like the ones who killed the Jews. What are the ones who did that and that and you know they’re talking and he’s talking about World War two and stuff and in this fucking around read it it’s just like blah blah blah some things are going to by the way tell your grandfather thanks for a service when I go in and people are arguing with them is like look man you’ve got to just understand that fight for your country and you believe in that. That’s good takes balls Man you got to respect that and understand and you got to have a lot of courage to procure good looking one he’s the bad guy for anything ever. Yeah you’d really you know I don’t know. No I’m pretty liberal but I’m not that liberal. Fuckin way another close in a week is defending is is and here’s it’s just perspective is saying it’s pretty cool to support your country even though you might not necessarily agree with what they believe in the same as a Southerner saying Hey man it was just the Confederacy had you been born then you would’ve been a Confederate soldier states right so my right is that the same thing I mean I think a lot of people’s eyes. For a modern Southerner to say yeah you know I’m in the fuckin south had a rebellion it didn’t work out but you know you know we were you know patriotic to the cause for states’ rights they don’t want a lot of people would sit there and say you had slavery. Yeah that would be the entire response was that we’re Georgia thing you know if you guys go is going to hurt him. Yeah yeah did you learn about the Civil War and you learn about the War of Northern Aggression civil war I would go to War of Northern Aggression in the network and now is from so mountain a little from a little from Same difference really but now I have a stone around that actually makes more sense because you guys are like experts. Yeah you got it we started like in the womb and you collect the data as they made it on them and they put them on a mountain when you’re a kid you’re like who’s that and they’re like those are great heroes. All right I guess whatever and I don’t think it’s a legit war we spent eighth grade in history just on the civil like Marilyn like what you guys did against Georgia history of great Civil War Yeah it’s the civil war for about eight out of nine months of the school year and frankly I think a time well spent. I’m being dead serious right now just sit around studying the Civil War had me more excited to go to class than any other fuck in history class I had and the high school when I was at the next year we watch a lot of good movies when I move to Dunwoodie my I remember the my my civil war education change dramatically at that time. Like her before that it was a war of Northern Aggression and vaguely confusing things about states’ rights because we were just little kids and like then eventually the left wing We don’t know what all the originals when in fact. Your mind I guess. But the populist message of defiance with the people truly know I am and I got I’m going to Cousin The believes he’s not a Holocaust denier. No I was not that far bad way to start anything that is not even on ground as in I am quite that his doesn’t think anyone would care I guess or that we’ve all been manipulated by Hollywood by you know whatever back then. It’s like they’re like sure you know about a kinder way. Right because with no disclosure on thing you don’t have a real refugee problem the way that my grandmother explained it to me she said that it was one of those things where there were they knew that there was racism happening there they didn’t know how intense it was at all. They definitely didn’t know about like camps or any of that shit but I heard they thought Jews were being run out of Europe. Like just be pushed out again or can perspective in a matter of looking to huge problem I don’t know why I was like well you can push that. No the original I’ve actually heard the exact same thing from a lot from my grandma but you know while she was still coherent she answered You know all people issues now but one of the one of the very few stories she told me about World War two was exactly that she was like fuck in death camps. No they had no idea. Yeah from their perspective and actually my grandfather served the Pacific which is kind of shoulder because all the good movies anything people care about that serious I mean nobody gives a shit about the want to passivity even though it’s like a huge thing it’s just like Clint Eastwood made two movies of the Pacific. NEARY Yeah we’re doing in the Pacific mini series is far less entertaining than the Band of Brothers was. Unfortunately Michael Bay made a big money for it. Yeah he did that with Pearl Harbor. God rest his soul you know washed out again on that original error go a little recently I’m sorry for I thought I was kind of charming. I remembered it being fucking awful and then I watched it again I was like you know what you have a scar and suddenly realize isn’t worth it to hate Michael Bay that. It’s just a lot worse moving on Thursday he made much worse movies and one scene at the near death experience can just let these little things go I don’t know I think overall I I try to maintain more of an ninety’s perspective on Michael Bay. Remember in the ninety’s we like Michael Bay And again bad boy is like there are laws movies are really fun you know you just got to take a look they are they’re just you know male masterbation fantasies for like the ultimate man child. So you and I are over here. And Max is over there this is good. So if we take him right now we can over run Max before he responds with violence or I mean I’m not I mean why don’t gain that it’s actually really funny and I thought it was hilarious the most if it’s not supposed to be a comedy though it is a combo to comedy and at the end at the beginning of Act three when they start cooking the human they actually stopped the movie just to say this actually happened to that little rock song is performing for the you know I mean again and I don’t think you directed it. Well is that correctly produce painting it he directed he directed it. That’s his best movie. Yeah no look at all the work of art I haven’t laughed that hard. I mean that many men on the whole thing was so funny just like it was like U.K. man is really not seen pain again. It’s like you only like shit man I feel like I look great. One thing we can to hold over his head is that Scarlett Johansson was volunteering to go topless on the island. Really if you want to maintain a P.G. thirteen rating so you turn it down. Wow I’m sure he saw well behind the scenes plenty and that’s another one. The island not a great movie but I enjoy watching it and if it comes on I generally will actually watch it that I know it’s the closest living going to pain pills because this is what this is what it is to had I have a wide appreciation you know I like I like a lot of a lot of stuff. I’m only talking about the not going to like everything for the most brides don’t remain to combat and that’s where the conversation went straight from pancreatitis to Nazis the Civil War and Michael Bay They’re all kind of in the same music of the past. And rape. I’ll get to it. There’s always room for a really nice system of minds in the game of groomsmen. Yeah there’s quite a bit in there. I’ll tell you I my online interactions over the last two weeks and in general it’s been a downward trend in general but I find myself more than anything else just arguing with feminists all the time and not about like you know I believe this and you believe this it’s like I’m arguing because they truly do not or or well or willfully will not read the context of things like you know I saw Age of Ultron. So did you think that Black Widow was saying I’m a monster because I can’t have babies now. Like when was the best person to actually try to help respond or open up to his mistress. Yeah I mean and he mentions the monster thing they’re going to fucking nursery and then you know I mean it just comes organically then she mentions the thing which is just saying no don’t worry about that I don’t I can have a family anyway and I feel like a monster could be turn me into a murderer. I thought the contacts were perfectly clear. They will ignore context and change lines of dialogue to support this idea they had coming in and it’s impossible to not just that it’s like a black widow as a professional is constantly surrounded by what pure type a masculine personas so she’s always being that to defend herself against it and so she just finds little opportunities to find vulnerabilities for guys to have a chance to open up. She didn’t Captain America two with that Guardian thing like welcome let me identify with your hardship and prosperity over again. Yeah I thought it worked you know whatever I mean I thought I really shouldn’t be bringing this not really have a beautiful way for the two most emotionally damaged members of the team to be able to share something. Yeah because I guess I guess what we’re assuming is either the Incredible Hulk is still canon where if he has sex he turns into the Hulk or more generally speaking maybe gamma radiation sterilized him knows it doesn’t really matter but the point remains that that shit is psychologically jarring to the best of us like over. Either way you can’t have kids. Verge Scarlet Johansson a thirty year old woman yeah yeah probably on the tip of her tongue like every fucking day but she can’t really talk about it with Tony Stark or Captain America because they’re not really the most approachable like oh so going to run right. That’s Tony. Yeah as Tony I’m sure kept the man I would not say that I don’t know that I would but I can and I don’t even feel like I don’t know Cap would have an adequate response. I don’t think he would be well. I think Cap is really inspirational for fighting he would still want to go to another year something right. Probably get the tornado but that’s something I always think funny about cap is you know the camp in the in the Ultimates comics is probably way you closer to way that that guy would actually be you know you could read Ultimates. Beyond the universe yeah it was you know if I’m good now it’s gone. Oh yeah now I got a lot of parts we got really bad but the one thing the thing kind of probably did do correctly is the fuckin Captain America is a little racist and he’s very sexist and he doesn’t believe that women are capable of you know in my garden shed but you know he’s one of those guys so I know my grandfather that’s why he thought my grandfather if you took him from his twenty’s and dropped him into now he would lose his fucking mind are you kidding. That’s going to have his time trying to stop gay people just stop him. I made some Nazis but the Jews aren’t that great either. And the funniest thing is having the last year in my perspective was when Gary Oldman did that interview for Playboy where he made kind of an offhand reference to the Jews are running Hollywood and then you know presume understandably that hey the truth is always a defense something that you do not they will get really pissed off about that and you and one of the Jewish organizations going really mad and issues this apology is one of the funniest worded apologies of ever read it was just it was and he said he said. Like I haven’t I have many Jewish friends of all of one. Jewish Jewish people have suffered through so much and surely they are God’s chosen people. It was like this review was clearly written by a Jewish person they had to be like it is so much like very specifically religious and kind of like I was also one of the problems in the war this is the Jewish people so suffered for many generations move forward. And I’ve broken my covenant with the public and I was his first excuse was his kind of like back pedaling like more reasonable arguments like I didn’t mean to say that Jews are don’t run Hollywood I just happen to be reading this book called The Jews ran Hollywood for a lot of the side of the story of the Jews are in Ollywood and it was an instant book I recommend to check it out but I don’t agree with the book misses and that is the thing I was reading when I was fifteen years old someone told me a Jewish joke and the punchline was because they’re cheap and I never had never met a Jew I didn’t know any of that. So like I had to literally had a broken down like the same way you would like any other racist joke like OK we hate the Jews because anyway you get out to Hollywood and enters like a shitload of Jews who are like super duper duper like all the stereotypes are there any legacy of Woody Allen in every direction. Little no one else like Woody Allen. Yeah but I’m cool with that I would be totally at home I’m best friend growing up his Jewishness been way more time around Jewish people and I and they’ve been probably my own families to run away to my friends. You guys are so you know what I saw online as a forum from for the Israeli army where women just post photos of themselves sunbathing in bikini’s with their a case and like that was so hot it made me get why the rest of the Mideast hates them because their own cultural code keeps everything so sexually repressed that like the whole thing is a lottery they had him preserve all right I think I probably hate anybody that they drop right in the middle of their territory and say they live here now. This is their place we just give it to him like a man the first thing is can open those doors just you know a little show skin get a little sex go on some we forget the whole issue is my day. Yeah the threat was a Jewish woman so sexy you know tender could save the Middle East. Altho if I just you know hooked up more there won’t be so stressed out and ending on a tenor was going to be to guys are they posing as we’re in or is there’s a setting. Now I mean like you know it’s got those like men or women or whatever and I turn in just two minutes we’ll turn to just Amanda just keeps going to be men I didn’t make friends I’m lying to myself. What is happening now I see that I’m just talking to their phone or stage fright from the grave. Now I know that if some solid haunting though said to be bearded man like like this guy this guy like is getting there is not my dad. Come on money you know I’m not into bears. Michael Stewart isn’t the fuckin dominoes of the street and now he does so he registered as a woman of the profile I don’t know maybe that’s maybe that’s just set up the wrong person and I have had no action of a tender. I think I just missed it I was in the hospital for like the entire fuck party I missed before party. Everybody else’s front party in and I was in the fuckin hospital watching them West Wing. Did we were there for the third party believe me it was mostly just a disease swap you know want to be there is a terrible thing and I was dating this girl recently such a bomber like I met this girl you know I host trivia and I was doing the graveyard and was fucking horrible. They hated me hated me just didn’t get along as soon and that you can’t hear anything. Yeah yeah well I mean you can hear anything in the sound system like it was just too fucked up because your questions I don’t like the normal trivia I do stand up basically in three questions and here and there and like it is can hear what the deal with their play since my standup is more. But you know this girl came out she sexy probably super sweet She’s beautiful on huge breasts and smart and funny and we started like seeing each other and since she’s just starts casually dropping these references into the conversation about how she likes fucking and have liked working and has fucked countless numbers of people and just keeps dropping and then just dropping in and like we were going to land virgins like I’m sorry about the bed you know it’s I mean I’ve totally fucked that mattress to death it’s like sagging in the middle like OK and that’s fine you know and I’m I’m all for the agency I want you know I want you to have your social agency and you know you do you do what you want but feel free to express yourself. Yeah like I like I like better on Anakin than like twenty minutes later she was like you have AS and she’s like I want you and there’s this red ring around each of the marks and a reference to the other and it just is an infection ring worm rang my ring what do you guys know Van Morrison like the band. Yeah I mean this is a great story about Emerson. He has like three singles that he still owed to Columbia Records on his contract after you release the three big albums he won Grammys orange and but he hated that they wanted to get out of stores and label so that they would not let him out the country you have to record these three singles force we demand you record these three singles or the freezing of the record are like the funniest things I ever like he just came in the studio with an acoustic guitar a camera the other two with a one on I was reverse just the song where he’s just just slamming his guitar strings in this droning brain gangplank I’m going just going by the hair and you have a ring worm. It’s very sad to know about to ring worm and every time is there’s a ring where it gets really close. Imagine them board meeting there also then there’s less than ever to bring more votes would do in that context that he was a C.N.N. and I’m on Letterman he did a song specifically for Letterman is like a new song. No way. Another argument I’ve been having online always fucking millenniums like this guy’s socks someway. I don’t why I’m through the Internet all false. I was confusing a time lapse. All right. I think it all a lot can discuss Alan Watts Tom Waits Alan Watts when I was up there in my mind for measurement a lot with what C.P. looting in debt and Ken Norton OK Norton. He’s spoken word artists. Isn’t that what we’re doing this very moment. This is not art. I feel like it’s art because this might be the future of spoken word. Yeah the spoken word is just stand up it’s not funny. Yeah that is like a Publish like form you know it’s like you would call the standard. No no it’s a spoken word or it is like you know it doesn’t rhyme. It’s not poetry. It’s just it can pretty much be whatever you want. Like Henry Rollins does it almost like straight up stand up and then every now and then read a poem that it’s amazing I thought Henry Rollins of Iraq see once and he did five hours just hand microphone telling stories five fucking our story eight in one instance he can see the guy who invented that story of suicidal. I Phone factory workers for evidence or you forget who Henry Rollins was you for going to talk to the guy and OK what do you tell me earlier that you could talk about hating until the end of time. Maybe the joke or the new joke or maybe something like that talking about the Joker meets Requiem for a jury and they would be. That’s why I think the castings are it’s just the casting is fine it’s just he just has this horrible and hearty hot topic joke or work that is just them you know I get the jokers on the nose. Usually he’s got a fuckin helicopter was face on it I get it but there’s a difference like I was telling him earlier they just released a behind the scenes footage thing from behind where he smacks Harley in the face she goes down her knees and it very much looks like he’s taking his dick out to piss on her and it’s like is there are too far with the Joker because in my way of thinking the sooner you introduce the jaegers Dick it introduces a lot of ideas into the Joker that you probably shouldn’t even think about you know like you shouldn’t probably start think about jiggers Dickinson you start think about what does he do with his dick. They want to father L. O. how I got the scars you know have the realm of references but the Joker very very off season off scene but it’s clear that he opened it up he said yeah he’s the fuckin joke or you think he’s above this I say you know you know that’s a little too intense for those movies even even when they were there directing you know right now I mean there’s still a stands of belief or kids sort of I mean at least for teens and I don’t know how much we can argue it’s for kids at least to visit aeration in the one nine hundred sixty S. Batman. Sure yeah of course that that that was definitely for kids and it was and it was awesome by the way a lot of people hate it but I thought It’s charming but like the Temperton Batman versus like black and dark knight those are those are aimed at different audiences. Yeah and I mean it’s true but I mean kids you don’t doubt that every kid in this country has seen all three of those you know or that they will see suicide school. I mean your kids we were like when your kid of course you know you’re going to see those movies when they come out you’re able to do. Yeah but I mean you know I wouldn’t have thought that kids would enjoy Man of Steel you know the movie. It’s like the color of nine eleven super dismal because while we’re getting word bounces through time Sorkin. Using Superman’s knots but did you see a scene in the beginning where Joran all jumped on a dragon while the planet was exploding and he was writing a dragon would be a spaceship masers all over the place. That’s true but I was cool right. Yeah I mean I you know I enjoyed it overall you know it’s just that you were mentioning the outrage when you mentioned black widow also with Game of Thrones Yeah yeah the thing that the the wedding scene with silence of the other night. Well it’s like this is a time where I don’t think it’s possible to rape one’s wife and West rose the moment that she is your wife. Yeah and Western runs so I mean you know I don’t I don’t think it really is either you know I think it’s kind of presumed that the whole relationship is sort of rape regardless. But wouldn’t that be true for all arranged marriages particularly in a medieval setting and for the most part I don’t know that the way that when they start making that argument specially with that one in particular they keep saying that it happened for no reason that that it that it doesn’t have any bearing on the plot that it was just completely random that they were just exploiting a woman’s sexual pain for entertainment for no particular reason which is insane. Why would you assume that what on earth would make you believe that not to mention the fact that he does read the books. Way worse way worse than we’re going to go down on her while he fucked her you know I mean like they turned that out they didn’t show her at all. They just show thing on because clearly the scene is about mayhem and you know I just when I thin see the problem with it is much I mean I guess I get that’s not his name anymore though. Yeah but you know it just for the sake of yeah and I know it’s true I don’t know I just I keep having these arguments I don’t subscribe to our splash the dreadful word that it’s a bunch of writers who are big fans of the book and why. Why are you goal then I think. It’s funny how weird they are rooting for bag I just don’t know you know like if that should chance you think their wedding night was going to be like this fucking dick cutting woman hunting Ray pursued like they cut the fucking wrist they cut that fucking wedding reception where Lord Manderley of white Harbor is obsessing about these giant meat pies which don’t even belong at a wedding. Completely inappropriate food to serve there and of this random singer guy from seemingly somewhere north is hanging out with his Coors Prost to Bard singers and random people keep dying. And my favorite parts of that entire seems gone. It’s a bummer. Yeah I love that they cut out things that are particularly George R.R. Martin obsessions. OH MY GOD LORD Manderley is literally George and I know that it’s just so funny those books like he’s way too over descriptive in his details. The fees to go on for hours and I literally think he’s just hungry but he’s just sitting there. He gets hungry. Good some lamp your pie and he starts thinking about Lamb poor pies my fuckin crazy fantasy through pyro to a very specific way to breakfast in the eighties I need this bacon burnt brown and Bubba the meat pies were actually for a children that he cooked and fed to the bones and share and I don’t even end that like you know that’s not even you know one can I knew she had never read Time isn’t drama like you know I didn’t drown it is drowning us. I always do that but now that’s what most fucked up thing I’ve ever seen that’s just way more fucked up in Game of our own. Yeah that’s that was his Terence you know piece out there and your hands and twigs in your fuckin riff or yeah they gave the hand the hand suffering from Titus to Jamie Lester. They gave the cook your boys in the past to the fray children. Is there weren’t there. That’s what they did it. She cooked up her own kids to say fuck it or husband that was there is a king of men. I’m talking about the Greek play. Oh my God I can’t believe that my fuckin references guns are for a line that that is not what I think of when I think of the day. Anymore I didn’t even make a connection at all what the fuck are you talking about there’s still a mouthful Amana she’ll see to that fed it to the husband she killed the child she had with him and found it to her for the to him after he raped her sister or something like that you can’t really blame him for doing that some of these times specially back unlike Greek times I’m sure because you know the gods are doing and I met a girl in film L. and I was like you know the name comes from. Yeah it’s fucked up but it’s pretty named those things and you know something about that as you know if you repeat these I think years ago. If he was going for shock value. Bravo. Because here we are like what four thousand years later saying yeah I did that one play where holy shit. Yeah just when I hear the day I think I think of Tyler Perry movies now I think of how it had weird you were watching those movies plays on it so it would be like if I complained about Michael Bay you know the movie wasn’t for me so why should i bitch. I watched him they weren’t even doing a marathon at this Dr Zavos had to go to one and I didn’t want three of the plays. There’s a lot of incest a lot of Harry. Yeah cartoons like like every one of them had a major subplot that is about someone fucking their uncle I have no idea where that comes from I don’t know that’s a major problem in and I talk to somebody that worked on it was that Ben Affleck movie from. This last year with Rosamond pike and Andro yet Goneril dongle. Yeah and they said that everyone who worked on of super nicely Affleck would Stannard talking for like half an hour about Batman and Robin Pike went out drinking with everybody in Tyler Perry like it was like having his team of security which is like twenty deep. Like go around and take people’s phones at the airport on the off chance that they would take a picture of him as he walks by and they were like nah none of you myself out there like well you can’t come on come into this part of the airport and I got a fuckin plane to catch and they wouldn’t let them catch the plan literally made people miss their flights because of that just as he was slowly ambling is that through the fucking airport. That’s one for teams here. Yeah that’s pretty insane and I are a lot of stories like a honour good Sure there it is. There’s no punchline to it so don’t expect when I noticed it and I want to sell in the summer and then what happened there isn’t really but I like my preference because I can’t really I can’t watch my Python show anymore because I don’t like endings and I don’t have a frame of reference still missing the shit they’re talking about the movies are very universal but everything else is about specific politics in the sixties Britain. Yeah the Stooges workin for doing crap service on a movie with Method Man and and he was taking all the meats and putting them out on the tray and Stephanie and some This pastrami have pork in it. It was pressure on any of them. He’s got to prescribe me and then another man walks is like that Turkey looks very good man. OK one’s arms the argument they presented salami or the pastrami whatever it takes of his target Method Man looks like a tin of a big piece shit and it’s like whoa what it’s like man why you come to be with him poke at hands like well why are you going to poke their pants and he didn’t know what the fuck was saying. Couldn’t understand it you didn’t understand even the language. Yeah your poke and poke sans theories like I understood there were some wrong with a thirty Thursday to turn me away I saw the gloves on I grab another visitor in another model for how you come to me when Paul stomps out and try to get him fired sions going the Muslim you know he can’t give you a hint of shit with Buchan smile on your hands with a huge problem as I said there’s no punchline to it I just think that line that while going to programs I can see that now we have the opportunity for just to explain to at least offer Method Man a chance to learn how to rationally communicate. Oh I’m sorry this you have to support. Yes that’s uncomfortable to me. Easiest thing in the world. I would prefer if you change your gloves before handing me Turkey but instead pogo stick angry loud swearing is the way to go. I got I was going to fist fight once because I bumped against a lady Braves game and I guess you’re not supposed to touch those ladies but we’re the fucking Braves game. I’m not a big crowd of people. There’s no way she’s not going to touch unless you have no other context on that that you just bumped into someone Yamin the lady she had the burka and stuff you know I mean just not your shoulder I mean we’re in a crowd you know and they got really upset and you know I mean that’s not there’s no funny it’s not a funny story still though I think we had some fun out in public right because I had to if I was that Fox and Hounds years ago and we were playing just I mean we had I don’t even think we started playing pool yet we were introducing ourselves. Hey I met the guys that I am so that’s what I heard I heard that so that oh say it he said no really angry. Say it or not siad say it what do you think I am a Palestinian and yeah like a hyper aggressive with me and his friend was backing him up well and I guess to date but the point remains that you know I have. As for the gross miscommunication error but let’s remember where no fucking bar where I can’t hear shit and we’re about to play a friendly game of who gives a fuck. Probst was boy because when you see your buddy over reacting in a clearly inappropriate way and still have his back. I mean that’s some good fuckin dedication from a friend. Three That’s like Middle Eastern bullshit you this pronounce my name. I will cut you know it’s a guy I have a terrible for can make any sense for him to be angry about that I just I honestly believe that’s what happened at least as like they’re all having terrible fuckin yawns because they don’t have tender and they’re not fucking each other. They’ve begun having a terrible day since like thirteen hundreds and they just like it sucks that that’s the majority of the Middle East peace on the invalid science and just ever since they did cure cataracts at a time when the Christians were praying to the bones of their dead saints so props but that was a good pull seventy five. All downhill from there because yeah I mean I wasn’t raised religious or from my perspective I can understand why any or all religious people would be upset because they believe crazy shit and you know I always felt that if I was religious and I truly believed in shit like talking snakes on animals on a boat you know all these like direct like God did this like he fucking changed this right there and it’s clear as day like you know that that kind of mindset and stuff it’s just it’s so crazy it’s it’s fucking really crazy and you know especially you have no frame of reference to insults and like you know if I would just imagine that you would be really mad that that shit doesn’t happen to you right now but you believe that this is orders like this crazy thing that’s always doing as miraculous magical shit then explicable talking bushes we cannot hire and we can all go into the desert for forty days I’m sure we’ll start talking the bushes to a fair point. It’s true with special for fun the right dose I think it’s I think it’s too easy. I make fun of the religious people on those grounds. I don’t think I’m fine I’m just saying and I’m just I’m just sayin. If you went through your list of beliefs I mean all beliefs all the way from the shit that makes sense. Like gravity to the shit that makes a little less sense whatever you fill in the blank there. And if we could get all this that out that a giant giant Excel spreadsheet with like sixty five thousand things that you believe in there’s probably like a good ten or twenty thousand things where you can look at it in objective light you get stuck still at the helm I think and I’m sure but there’s there’s nothing that I believe that is inherently impossible. I feel I don’t believe in anything. I don’t believe that the oceans are going to freeze in place. You know I don’t I don’t believe that the you know the sky’s going to fall because it’s not going to fall like you know I don’t believe that reality is going to crack and we’re going to walk through it because why would I. It’s that that goes against my entire experience of existence. It’s just impossible by everything I know to be going well and I’m still working to build the correct man every more comical reading Graham or someone it’s like working closer. Yeah well I mean I you know I lean towards more new agey police and they’re crazy. You know I but I don’t I don’t I’m not really committed to support we can all see the beauty in the symbol on top of the giant spring inside of what we are here. I’ve taken this conversation a lot of weird places and so do you have any upcoming events like comedy and shared or when it’s going to be out probably three weeks if we actually make our schedule now my schedule isn’t that far right now so yes but I don’t know what they are. Where do you perform regularly. I perform in the Laughing skull lounge pretty often for her side door. I’m been running the door and go up pretty regularly there I host trivia diesel filling station on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Yeah we live over that part. There are five of them Dunwoody shit can actually good time get old I want a home of the can catch up there a little bit. We’re not actually home of the year you know they’re not done what a year. You’re really committed to the to the bohemian lifestyle because Dunwoody is the only suburb I’ve ever seen in this state that makes an effort to be cool like I mean it’s definitely the fraternity brother poppet is color but at least you try and you know I you know I’ve lived on and off for ever and you know it’s I don’t mind always about it you know it’s quiet at night there’s no way on the streets I was going to military naked in the middle of night and there’s likely I would be fine and just jump in a bush cock was blown around about my naked walking returns or animal form go hunting about what I could you know it’s I don’t is overrun with rabbits like overrun. It’s been a HUGE problems of your own and I mean I am the only person in this state who knows where those rabbits came from and exactly where they came from. My neighbour has had rabbit pens above by this trampoline that we used to go jump on when we were kids and we were jumping on it when they were removed and he came out he was having some fight with his wife is really fucking pissed off. He kicked the rabbit cages they fell over smashed open all the rabbits with rabbits of over. Yeah for real. We had no rabbits now we have everywhere every single day I see ten rabbits areas which the kind of the sick or the rabbits are the scourge of Dunwoody the island of Japan and the rabbits of overtaking them. It’s funny though because when you when you introduce species like it really does change everything like you know before the deer stayed in the don’t need to preserve where they lived for ever and then the rabbits came and when the rabbits got rabbit a rabbit skin. Well the rabbits attracted coyotes in the coyote’s started eating rabbits and they started breeding really prodigious they said and they were fun. The Coyote’s that Ramage brief answer than coyote is so they were always able to keep pace of the population getting bigger and bigger and chased the deer out of the nature center and they were just fucking overrun. Well these fuckin animals in the circle of life that’s going on in my fucking core port we have a better want to Marietta. So I live near the campus on the battlefield and it’s very unique in its little ecosystem over there there are a shitload of deer and Kennesaw Mountain battlefields it’s surrounded by some of the nicest homes in Kansas in Marietta because if you can live anywhere next to a national park and you’re in for your backyard is solid. No one’s ever going to bitch on that because you have to own a gun. Well they do and in this they actually get the next story. Why is it that the deer like if you have to be born a deer that’s where you want to be. Everyone loves the deer and in this in this battle field is parked in a huge amount. It’s like seven hundred square miles or something that’s like a lot larger and larger than people initially realized. So the thing is people hate coyote’s people hate bears. So they bring in the animal control for the Bears they hunt coyotes. So as a result you just have a lot of really nice houses aka non threatening people who love deer and inside me seventeen square miles it’s just overrun. There’s a deer every So if you go running through the trails at the right time of day. My past like half a dozen beer just in here and around people hey coyotes do and I don’t like you know one of the cats the cats they were trying we were made for now and they were working for this tree company putting flyers on mailboxes once and we turned on the street and there’s just a coyote just walking down the middle of the road today. Weirdest thing ever. Just like walking like it’s up and then we like pull up next to it whatever and I just didn’t even care. Like clearly was sick had to be middle of the day and we’re just like a coyote. I’ll get me one look. I really didn’t care and room and I will fuck you coyote too good for me and we keep drivin and then we turn the corner and they were like on the next treat over and we hear a bunch of children start dreaming like losing their fuckin minds and it was was until that haven’t I was like Man we should call animal control I don’t know if you care to me and I had to sit coyote you think the nuisance that might be a serious problem maybe the dingo H Yeah. Now maybe that things grab the kid and often of the words I’m trying to remember the Simpsons joke
