But then you start having it and you're like, oh. I'm going to keep eating it. I'm a dog. And it's not good sometimes.
They're just overloading you with badness. Yeah, shitty fries. We're like, oh, there's no seasoning on this. And then I ate them all. I should have just been like, no, I'll get fries. I have fry money. I could go get more fries.
Yeah, get some better fries.

I'm Theo, I'm like, you're here for me, not the other way around.
And you're gonna facilitate me being Theo.
Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I just felt, I'd had an exhausted week that week. We'd had like a couple of interviews. I think it was in New York and in Nashville. And so it was just like a lot of traveling. I was like, I do not want to do this today. You can really have to prep for it. But it was just like burnt out, you know? Yeah.
But, yeah, I think people, some people have said that they think it had an effect on the election and stuff. I don't really think that.

Chapter 2: Why should we take a step back from the news?
Right. Yeah. You're like, anybody could win. That's the part that was fascinating about it. But I remember how I was scared. It was like, oh, no, when they had that Richmond neo-Nazi, that Nazi thing in Richmond, remember years ago? Oh, yeah. What was that? It was like those guys had bought those tiki torches or whatever.
Yeah, no, it wasn't Richmond.
Charlottesville?
Charlottesville. Charlottesville. Yeah. It was a statue. Do you know who the statue was there? No one does. Nobody knows who the fucking statue was. And it was a flashpoint of everything. Was it Stephen Douglas? Symbols of the city's Confederate past. They don't even know who it is. They're all protesting. They don't even know who the fucking statue is. Totally normal.
Oh, it was Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Two of them. Now, that's New Orleans, isn't it? That's Charlottesville?
Yeah, that's Charlottesville.
Oh, yeah. I had a school nearby me called Robert E. Lee Junior High School. I wonder if it's still called that. Probably changed it. Probably changed it. Erasing history. To Bobby Lee. Yeah. Bobby Lee College of Dropouts. Dude, how does Bobby Lee not have an elementary school named after him? You gotta. You still look kind of like you're in one. You could go undercover, Bob.
Just shave that stupid stache. You could go undercover. You look young.
Oh, yeah, with just insane teriyaki lunches every day.
