Chapter 1: Who is Rusty and what is his story?
Yep, and then, like, you know, somebody with, like, a sign language interpreter going with a deaf guy for a singing competition, and the interpreter does the singing, but the guy who's actually deaf and mute gets to win the prize because, you know, well, they're, like... So you're just sitting around thinking of this stuff.
Yeah, I think about... I wake up at night thinking, what if it's the next zombie apocalypse and I'm on a wheelchair and I turn into a zombie? I wouldn't be able to operate my wheelchair, like, you know? I mean, I think about these things. I think about going to a bar and like, you know, going way over the limit and I don't have a designated driver for my wheelchair.
Like, you know, how does that work? Like, you know. So you're suggesting. And to be honest, like, you know, I go to like a pharmacy in the U.S. Here it's all over the counter prescription. I go to a pharmacy in the U.S. The first thing they hand me is like a pill. like a bottle full of pills and it says, don't operate heavy machinery. I'm always operating heavy machinery.
Like, you know, what are you supposed to do? You know, it's shit like that. Like, you know, it's funny. It's, it's, I want people to laugh at the disabled and not in a bad way. You know, it's, it's, I think you want them to laugh.
You want them to laugh with the disabled.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm curious, you said that you spend a lot of time, obviously, you're very well-versed in cinema. What about video games? Do you like video games?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I grew up on video games. Like I said, if you are on a wheelchair, there's not a lot of outdoorsy stuff that you can do, though I gave it a shot. But yeah, video games were introduced to me at a very young age from the old Atari system, playing Pong with that big joystick thingy. You know, then moving on to like knockoffs, we didn't get like American game consoles.
They have ripoffs of popular video games in India.

Chapter 2: What challenges does Rusty face living with spinal muscular atrophy?
They said more people typed in than what they did. I guess they just typed in. I want to see a dick. And then I popped up.
No, no, no, no. It wasn't like that. The first guy I saw was the late great Joel Goddard with like a young Korean guy by his side. Oh, my God.
He was.
Oh, yeah.
He was awesome. I think Joel Goddard's still alive.
I think he is.
Yeah, Joel Goddard's still alive.
I think he is.
Let's not get it out there that he's dead because they might try and bury him. Okay. The late, the great, great dual god. Yeah. Yeah. He's still alive.
