There's too much internal logic. And just going over the material in their head like sort of Jay-z style I think so. And stuffed into moleskins. But my question was, and I don't know if this works with you, if you write something down on a piece of paper, for me, I remember it.
2:53 But, I mean, just writing it. who wants to get microphones michael michael moore wrote this thing about running for president a Or a micro USB, rather. Every brand, Old government tricks. You know, they bring in the handwriting analysis guy. I have an abbreviated one in case I got to sign a thousand things where there's two versions. I'm sure in his little school, right? So his writing goes the other way entirely like it doesn't look like Willie Mays
5:16 uh, your work yes oh that's every left-hander had to learn to write with their hand up Yeah, writing left-handed is a real bitch man. That's a real bitch.

That's gotta, there's gotta be some connection. I like when people use cray-cray in an anonymous, or in an ironic, rather, way.
10:04 You just shouldn't accept that level of culture automatically. I agree. That's funny if they don't really mean it. But if they do mean it, it's like, ooh.

11:11 conditional you see i'm a third party observer to my own life at all times i'm narrating myself but no one's going to retweet the whole thing. And the reason why I have a career is because there's an internet. You know, people just tape that I have that on. It's probably going to be like we were saying doing it in the air Minority Report was on like a was it a screen I believe so

21:48 How did you find out? It happened within a When MRSA is like medication-resistant staph something or another, I think that's what it stands for.

It smells with hand sanitizer. the audience before the show for a while and i shake everybody's hand so i'm communicating
25:08 or dance around or make a taco or anything like that. ecosystem that your life depends How many times have you shaken all these hands after a show and then fingered a girl without Or you're making a sound effect and you're fucking... They don't sterilize that thing. a receptacle. We're spitting into that So much yeah, I wonder how long does that stick around
