And Valley like three weeks ago, and I looking for you what kind of an affair is now When I was up in Hudson New York and how close you are that I'm in Strasbourg, which is just sat the Rhine Back you know we're right now. I've been to the airship and ran back, people know Rhine die than the big city near. I, the data, lady ones, who had a place up there and went to their air show and Rhine back and couldn't believe they. Actually they perform like a sketch like a scam

it's worth a guy is marrying a woman out there out new field, a guy's marrying a woman, and and then suddenly, a guy in a black hat with a mustache runs out. Kidnaps, the woman in a wedding dress and a very clumsily puts her into. A german try playing with three wings and takes off and then than that brought the groom goes I'll, get you in pantomime and gets into a sop with camel they they go up.

in the air and chase each other and then like the bride transfers over to the other plain and then lands hero and you're, like you just did a sketch, where the chances of all of you dying was about five. As I know, we would have been impressed with that. The story I kind of like it wasn't the writing that anybody can take the plane out then show us that plane playing still work has now well. Why is she going to that? Of course, I was watching you they're, making now await an emotional state. This is idle seeing that emotionally invested in him. Have you been to that? I forget what it's called in Colorado its we it's like a Mexican beamed theme Park, restaurant and they do high dive, shows cast about yes, but it similar and you're eating bad food and then halfway through dinners they'll be like get back here. You and there's a standstill start and some woman

and will probably kidnapped and taken to the top of the mountain, Edmund DIME some areas, and yet people are complaining about the food right. Sometimes I like to hear I say: let's go to this Strip club. Because the food is spent and then re really great to be like I'd hate, to see women degraded, and I think that whole thing as an objectified, and I don't care about that- I'm pretty much a sexual. At this point you ve got to try. The Kremlin relates absolutely fantastic, send back so sorry, I normally don't do that us, that's not how the beef targets are so little. Heavy onion resource are those o Brien. Are you enjoy Strip show you know what I don't want to see. These women objectify does upset about that yeah. That is not what I that is not cool. I dont like what's going on with the leaders of their about the time, and I want to be rude and that only if there's not a big rush in the kitchen better thing

There are no wait a minute. wait a minute. I I need to conduct professional interview here, Maybe the first one had ever done, but I'd like there to be some semblance for real professional interview here. Let me start by saying: I'm I'm also honoured. I am getting major street credit from my seventeen your daughter for even speaking to you. I want to see us always cause I insulting when a few times that I say, oh I'm off, to talk to. Let's say A strong and my daughter gets so excited and suddenly I see that I'm elevated in her eyes and then there's some party that things will wait a minute. How did you feel about me before I said I was gonna, get us a hang with excessively strong today and and then its peak we are that she was kind of indifferent to me that now I am I'm just the gay. way drug that gets her to Sicily, strong, so

who are below well. I say I feel a pressure now to be cool enough for your seventeen year old daughter, well, she'll probably only listen to the parts where you're talking she has her. She has a special app when she listened pike takes me out of it, and it's just going to be you talking and she's, only turns years being into like me out, and then you go to a really good point. Thanks a lot hey, don't get defensive, yeah, no I've! I've had my you work for many years- and I was interesting- has because we live on different coasts. I dont really think I've had a chance to read, we interact with few me you and I think we ve ever No, I don't. I don't think so. I must say that you are right. I say that with hesitation, because sometimes I'm not my right state of mind, so we might have met I now I get it. I that happens to me. Let anyone I met at an after party or in the hall,

ways during a shell like oh man, I'm so sorry young used to saying I'm. So sorry, after meeting someone these I really have to unite them. I'm simply asked and I apologize for whatever I've done wrong so far. Why don't you say I feel very sorry about being corner of I'm just so sorry, sorry, all around us and our important. Only in a sorry for me devastated areas devastated in watching your work I was train fine. What do we have in common with this person? If anything, I start by saying I think we're both very attractive. people and start there. Okay, the obvious yeah that clearly dishes violence in my room, no one should know nothing to transact rhythmic David. I really do think as I get older, I'm becoming better looking. I do that's good god dammit.

I was thinking that in watching you perform and then and then in Red in your your book. This will all be. The over soon clear to me that does Mr Slingshot effect in time. If I'm wrong, were you, have some. anxiety, nervousness self consciousness. Maybe sometimes periods of really feeling low and then the perform France is like a sling shot out of that is that true is like their performance as a chance, for you, too, to almost baby opposite of the person that you are. Oh, yes, I would say that's a huge part of also Dick, characters that I'm drawn to and the people that I find funniest and and most fastened because I am so self aware and self conscious. Then it's like watch you, someone have a meltdown in a grocery store is like what a gift you I've. Just those people, largess so fascinating to me and said that

but I like to play here and you you're really adept at playing characters that how are com? clearly on self conscious and don't give a shit. They don't care I mean they're, just ass bad there that confident, yeah your view of them or opinions of them will never matter they don't they're. Not even there probably dimly aware that you have opinion is our they're. Here I or you're they re very early conversations yeah and it's funny because in you know, reading your book. What I picked up about you in particular was that there are a lot of people Think comedians are all bad boys in I don't mean that gender specific, but that their their people that yeah when I was fourteen hours we're doing a lot of co. Can I got an escape war and I came into algebra class lay nice had fucking deal with it and the whole class laughed and then I knew I'd be in committee, and I was always the exact opposite. I was in class right on time and afraid and

and it's so weird later on such a liberation to get into comedy. For that reason, you used to make the same kind of person. When you were a kid, you were a do. Gooder yeah, I guess I did some bad, but I dont think what you murdered, and I know the right that has made me a bad. No, no you murdered them, and then you moved on with no regard for their lives. I didn't even care. I didn't you talk about it, yeah yeah, what's under three of your book? the chapter where you say a maid meets its chapter. Three We, I murder, that's a few forgotten your eye murdered. Nobody, no big deal they're gone but I'm still here, ha ha, which has a bad chapter heading. But are you remembered it? I did? He have rapid adds that science again run yeah yeah. I guess you win this round, but I'll be back by these, since I got is that you were very your constantly hyper aware of maybe how other people felt about you. It definitely an. I think, like popular kids

and kids you like, we knew how to work. The social world at seventeen link. There I'm shocked when their funding, because they never had to be funny if people are very free grew up very socially comfortable and I don't mean wealthy, but but they were very comfortable, they had but a friends they knew who they were. They started. Dating at an early age and knew what they were doing. If someone like that turns out to be really funny, I'm an array and had his rage, because I think I was told they peaked early yeah. They aren't supposed to be agreed on a peak again and again and again, and I I'm I'm I'm enraged because I think or if we were really great athletes and then there are also really funny No! No! No! This was my consolation prize for so many of you can ask. Why do you get to have it too. You know it's like I'm the guy who I'm the guy,

we stumbled into the game, show wearing a tattered jacket and I won the car and then they said oh and looked Jeff basis. This year too, he gets a car also now it doesn't feel right again, but it isn't it isn't right. It is unfair yeah. Well, this is the theme of this podcast ways in which I did they tell you that you're probably tell you. They say how I got fucked over by common o Brien yeah sort as they probably I just as do. I ask only do press like that. They only angry press press with settling scores, her scores to settle human drink family ate my way and though in Hell, yeah. I get this. for chairing I've? Never like five minutes and they always say I wish I had a drink right now, horses had come, you have so often, but it

as the building a party. I guess yeah something about me. I suppose you're going through this. Time right now, where I'm not going Can you down on this? Obviously, because this is your decision to work out the Pieper speculating? Are you coming back stern alive? Are you not I'll tell you in the brief time that I worked there, I was constantly whenever it was summer time. I was so happy as what you say. loved working there. It was such a pressure cooker it was the summer. I always thought alone from collective ethic, because it was so hard totally, and I think I am. I talked to learn earlier this year and he said well, I don't make any decisions until at least July. because in June I still head everybody. I hate everything

learn means that about everything, including what he's gonna have from break them. If they re makes always decisions on meals and what clothes he's wearing in July and asked for July July, or let yeah I'll have range a lion August. I'll have crab I'll have crab with eggs in may then remove its end. There will be an assistant setting out with an egg cell. He doesn't get mad, he still has assistance and stuff. I would have thought grown tired of blows, Jack and carriers where it is less they wind up, you know going on, do run television, yes, It is this when I was there Martin score says he was his assistant Margaret. Could you know this is not what I asked for. I asked for corn off the cab. I wish I hadn't Marty press India. He screamed it's our says. He and smashed glasses

I got to see all this because I was there a long time ago. I was there, I think, granting fifty eight sixty two. I was external and I think- and I didn't come in so early aid- fear you are there in the eighties. Our member that used to do your Jane found a bit exercising and you did your honour that parity be aha video endowment. Yes, I would sing I loved the exercise, songs, that's what, right. I want Probably I haven't Jane Fonda parity in my pocket. I want to convince anyone who just tuned in its US The strong is in her mid sixties. Accomplish nothing else in there. You know it's funny. It's like you say. Then people go. How really you can like? Oh, I should know made a self deprecating job in front of you yeah, because you wouldn't know is that I think also using the term to noon. Puts you sixties, if someone just starting the podcast in the middle here, what you know,

personal. It's burning www, it's really we're there. You know I'm open about about the fact that I am not text heavy and that I really dont understand what a podcast is This very honest about that, I'm on constantly saying what if some when tuned in headway because I dont understand. I don't trust and even what we're doing right now. I understand I keep it very simple. I met my an admirer of yours. I think you're Really funny, I was excited to talk to you and then beyond that will I dont know what a podcast is. How people are going to hear this, and this might all just be people I might be in a state of mass delusion where people are saying this is actually gonna go out somewhere, but I'm told you people on the streets. They know about people, less energy and gas, or thanks a lot. That's great David whenever this says and whatever you use so as this will be put out on a waxed, cylinder and distributed. I think

my favorite thing when I got when I started, ass the now my mom went on Facebook and said, ladies and gentlemen, so you're viziers. Well, I have to tell you my parents never figured out and they are still with us. They, my parents, never figured out all the years. I was on television, it was, it's kind of a mystery to them that you could take it. So God bless him. They used to watch it. When I was on late night, all those years at twelve thirty, they start watching at twelve thirty, and as a result, they were very sleep deprived all they both ass tat job, they were air traffic control of air traffic controllers. I started fucking up on the actual, but I remember I mean that era when I was on us and out, which would be eighty eight too, like ninety one, you really did have to see it when it was on tv. You had to say

at an end. You, of course, have been part of this era where so many people are watching it afterwards in all these different ways and they're, watching it four days afterwards, so that the people that watch it I well it's happening and then is the higher other audience. That's checking it out. Just think is kind of a gift, because there are seeing your work over and over and over again, sometimes and trading it, and I think that's contributed a lot to how much people door, your work, you know that's a great way to look at it and and be the only way to look at it, but I think I still, I would worry, that's like theirs over saturation or then it makes it. To to do recurring, because people like they ve seen something so much more than you ve done it because they can watch it up for number. I disagree.

it's a really good thing for you and I'm not gonna. Let you take that. I know it is. It is good and I'm I'm trying to be better at like not qualifying things that should be positive and going, but here's the asterisk yeah where's. Why? It's not positive yeah, but that's natural. That's a defensive mechanism. But you ve developed over millions of years of evolution and sell you camping. I can't believe this than ever. Listen sacks. If that is what it gotta say this now. Thank you. She added you could have had a third long billions of years. They sell eight million, There's a girl, you could have developed a third long and a much larger brain all of us could have, but we decided that lizard decided. I'm gonna go with no more self doubt crippling anxiety who needs a third long and among you, no grounds and self doubt there is at stake. It's like sometimes I'll meet people, and I myself you different monkey. We come from a different my hour I love that we

Don't you mentioned that phrase in your book and I read that in Europe will have to play. Is it's like a thing? I truly believe in you meet the hems words different monkey I know what you mean either so many over the years of interviewed all these p, oh in person on the tv show and and these men and I think, oh you're. I know that technically, whereby adult male homo sapiens, but why does your chest looks so much. I admire you really are, as you would say, a different monkey. You know that hath it that's. Why I'm on steroids? There's no so funny, because when I think people would hear that I was essentially strong, has a book out maybe me assumption would be. This can be a book of wax stories you now Billy stories and what Written is really beautiful, meditation over it.

Takes place mostly throughout covered, but threaded throughout the book and really the theme of the book is the loss of your cousin, oh, and so I thought I'd. kind of start. This part by saying I'm sorry about your cousin because reading the book I feel like I know this man and I like em and this their loss really does come through. I mean it. it's very nice to eastern. You know it's great to feel like I'm letting people know him and like him to consider here. It is such a gift to me and nice to share, way that I think you know it's like the way he so going, then to do and then even you know today that we were losing him and I knew he would be gone that night. It was sort of all night. I kept thinking where in time and space is Owen in this moment you know like, whereas the on his journey, where, as you know it so there is like the whole

it just where in time and space is Owen AM, I was really part of the book, and so I think that that's the weaving funny it's a mean funny the wrong word and say it's funny in that way that, were you know what I'm you know what I'm saying when I say funny. I thought I was you know that a path I'm just laughing at your very personal loss is how Larry us know what is pics We are to me, but I can relate to it is, does a lot I find is, would be here for if I was going through loss reading this it would be a little boy. A man you all of this is, not a bad way to process it. This is not a bad way to metabolize Lawson. Have it means something that makes sense. Yeah. That's very kind of you to say, and I would hope

that sort of part of why I would publish something that's like insane to do if you're at all private person, but I and I think the couple of things that I heard back early after doing the essay for New York magazine was sort of hearing that from people that it was at all helpful like a little. That is then a reason to publish it. I thought there's a part of a book. I e that really struck me, which is at one point you're talking about a relationship you'd had in the past with some one and its implied that the relationship wasn't the healthiest really ship and you don't really get into specifics, but you you say that you, reached out to this other person in the relationship and asked. Could you write about it? You wouldn't use their name, and this person wrote back and said no I'd. Rather you you not write about it and

so you have, I can't remember, I think it's thirteen or fourteen blankets, eleven, oh yeah, it's eleven blank pages where you could have been describing what youth you know what you said was a abusive relationship, but it's just blank and I thought wow that when we see the blank pages in the book it does, it does have an impact and then just ends with. I think his quote. Thanks for understanding. Good luck with your! project which we are just sits there like a like old, dead, wet fish at the end of the of the word and behind lad to hear it, because that's what I wanted knowing I assume that is nice to hear that you felt that way. I think was so in writing this in and reaching out to everybody that I'm writing about. There is like tat, you know my brother

There was really great about talking to my dad after I sent him a copy in use, like sure maybe there's some things I wanted love being out there, but it's her story, and I think that was really great of my brother to help reinforce in me, and I was so hurt that allow pages is wise and that mine, and why does in fact to be mine and it was so insane lay her. Talk to me when he sat nope and it was like just that easy. It was like the sudden. Now my suit part of my life doesn't belong to me, especially with something that so difficult to talk about. Let me ask a question- and I dont know this at all, but if you're not using the person's name, you're, not to put it in the book you not allowed describe your side of the story. Wizened that yours to tell was that a legal issue? Now I'm eminent end my way the legal issues and that wasn't

one of them and at one point there was a thing it was like. The wool is: there's somebody that witnessed something between two and like yeah. I guess, but that fills crazy, that again It's like I have to have someone gift of a witness who is who has witnessed any kind of abuse which is just like. I hope it. Well, I guess I don't want to be on trial and having to call my friend as a witness say like you, I saw her being choked or something right, but at the end, the reason I'm just to lighten up a little too. Yeah, what's weighing up a choking that's what the other reason. I know that eleven pages and why I am also thankful that you got it is business because I sent the book to Doktor Henry the way.

He knows that caught my cousin Doktor Henry is landline colleges to worked with with oh and to try and save his life. Here, yes, and he s been a part of my life for the past year and change, and we text the Latin, I sent him the birth music, it's great, it's lovely, just a couple corrections. Thank you have about eleven blank pages, but after a year that also happen, the original catch. Twenty two. It was a printing error, including candidate problem that is viable and sing it and year here so Judy Zeilinger had that with catcher in the rye, it's a common printing error? No, I I I Read this animal therewith sometimes forget a seller yeah a man, but he was not a great writer turns out. I will say that that in a way I would argue that what you did is more effective than maybe, if even if you had told the story and I dont know the story I so I have. I dont know what I mean.

talking about, but the fact that you didn't handcuff yourself and you just left the eleven blank pages and then that last line from his taxed or email, I think, is very powerful and get the job done. So oh yeah. Well, is it got the job done in his email idea? We felt a certain way after that year and I think one thing my editor Sean, whose such a partner in this project to me, but he said early on was he felt like what I leave out is just as important is what I'll keep it in my writing. and I think it is because the whole thing I'm trying to be as honest as possible, and I've started to talk to my dad about. It was like what If I just celebrated where we are, it means less. If you dont know that like took work to get to where we are and that's ok and like I once get a fault you for that, but I think in

to be honest, it was like there have to be some things that are maybe better left unsaid just so it doesn't go into different territory that make sense. Well, I have found in my years of writing and working in committee to me. So much of writing is editing a yes. I have a problem, editing myself and I actually it's like, I prefer being able to right answers are right. Things down. You know that I love texting much more than talking on the phone. For that reason like I can see what I'm writing and take things out. So we switch over to tax right now, like yes, if that's ok, prepackaged Tunisia, I'm working on a new tune in

working in an end to this text message we should work on a new form of podcast, that's just tax and- and it comes up on the windshield of the person as their drivers suffer their lands, and I now know it trusts, o doesn't sound, say: what's not save about reading tax between incessantly. Why are driving Alex United taxed better try running causes another accident there, lay the seven hundred accident it today. Victims were listening to cut our brain, incessant, strong and it was a quiet watch. They soon, then I dont know your story of how you got Saturday night alive. I did a showcase that I'll and Sarno Halpern suggested I

do it, and I was kind of I didn't know that I was ready and you know there's somebody roots like rumour and gossip and like the legend of Lorn Michael's coming to us too, I own sake, Well he's only see you once so. You can only get that one shot, so don't mess it up, and so I wasn't sure I was ready and I wasn't really an impression, as I took like a workshop with this guy Matt Miller, who did a character and impressions workshop and you watch yours. a fine camera, but it was really good. You watch yourself with other p the lodging telling you can hear where they're laughing and they're not realize I should everything should be a little shorter than I thought it. it's like a whole summer at you, I went is so he came to showcase and then the stay. They had a couple of us go to the hotel where they were saying it was like speed dating, and you know me pretty name to be normal, and even though I think I was I I shall try to chose you know, I don't even know what I said. I only remember bringing up trader Jos and cucumbers and wine. That's all

because even mention those same things in this package like eleven by my wine and you covered, we gonna you're getting some kind of compensation from trader Jos and congratulations. I talk to people from New York State TAT, father then I it was like ok, a month pastor. coming and I didn't hear anything or no, that's not show so I got fired. New York, then for this the first test I went by at home and as I was driving back from the airport, I got an email from Lindsey shook ass, saying they were gonna find me out again to just hang out in the I just room, but they start have just put you in the office and then have people come in and out and talk to you to make sure that you're not through the wrong kind of crazy. If our social experiment, it's almost like a reality, show like you're being brought into big brothers house to hang

for a little bit. Is this a good analogy? You wasn't? I love it. I can't I'm going to make us about big brother. Now it takes a while they are to feel like you're, really part of the machinery. As you know, yeah and some very many people that are brought in and told wanted just hang out the writers room. and then they just become typists. You know they click and moulded into biggest folded into other parts of the show. This zone involve creativity, so I dont, I didn't know, I had no idea and you must have felt weird being told, go and hang out. There's pressure there, that will should I bring wine. Should I- and I have already talked about chaytor jazz? I tell you Oh yeah, you're only conversational topic was gone. You know

what I said in Lorn was even their souls even stranger, vile. He has actually been acts on that line. A little for four years now and calls area he's. Have I'm Saint Barodia, generous aid barter is, it is blueberry Farm in Maine has monitors and he just, and he rightly works hard thou I mean. Did the jam is not going to make itself? No, the notorious aren't gonna pay. Someone has to fight off those bears with giant sticks. That's my Newbury there and he's remedies. I you know I gotta go. Did you pick centres go up there? I have a picture, shows you go inside and have the blueberry farm. That's a goat. That's ago, Extract Nicholson and that's another good mixture

I note that is Mc Jagger again, I'm sorry alike. Is the ages and and so how long did it take you to feel because my memory is that you hit very quickly well, what's funny is when I got hired. Initially he went he I didn't know I it's gotten hired fully at you know, like you hear, when people leave the meeting with more What am I? What does that mean? But he was like I'm not sure I men might start you as a writer and then we'll move you to cast, maybe by Christmas or something and then it was like three days later. They said well you'll be in the cast now zone. I hadn't, I wasn't even sir, I went in and shaky as as I would wind up being for I was there. I think, like the first time,

The girl at a party was probably the biggest tit for me in that was in one of those elections specials, so that was early October. Something different thing about that character. His you'll, just because it's kind of subtle you'll just take a pause and look at your phone, lose all of your performing a fact and look at the phone and then look up and continue and there is no joke, journeymen, it's it's totally a character move, but it's hilarious. I Rueda always love it because it will, so true, seven people do it all the time, but I think a lot of other comic performers would feel and secure and feel like they need to put a joke in their well. I am now I wish I had it's because I was so secure, but I think it's like once you get, alas, doing nothing. You like, oh ok, they got it. They saw

because it is such a rude move and someone who clearly doesn't care about the tourism they're having a conversation with a right which, as you know so much of that per year. Only there are four media like shame and save I'm. Bringing up any topic to show you that you dont know about right. Your characters, you. Dont need to learn anything from anyone who died at such a funny joke. You started when you're doing Marjorie sailor Green on us. Now an update and you come out and you you got

and you reach an easy going resistant who's gonna. This is your gun like to hear your sitting on a gun and you are assuming its someone else's cried when no one else will have a gun you I was right. Yeah understand crazy world yeah. I know who is done is done. This gun ass, my god, I'm sitting on a gun at his gun. This is in colleges like now, not my gun. That would be heard on who is still after all these years, if you're performing with them, who just can you not keep it together if you're performing SAM, you know like who were the peoples had theirs. I mean there's a bunch, I feel like anyone there I might break with, but certainly I think keen in his personal. I will easily break with eighty one. Eighty starts going that set and then also, I think back then it is so funny, and sometimes just like back, making a mistake if the table would.

Destroy me, like might some of the funniest. Common stairs just back mister. announcing a word yeah this money just ye again, there's something about him! That's like I'm! tell you just so presentation and then to hear that making a mistake to hear him go excuse my my boy. Why? Why do I should explain? There's this bears the there's the red through on Wednesday and people sit around and it sport eastern alive that I'm sure it's been captured, the times on camera, but that's the part that people really don't know Bout, which is you sit around this massive? It's not won. T what's a bunch of tables jam together and it's really huge and the entire cast sitting around it, plus every one that works and seen egg and music everyone's in that room and all the writers and that's where everything's decided- and I am a member of the years things just destroying killing at that

cable and then getting nothing address because it really work. when you heard it, but something about getting it on its feet and putting it up all the magic went away. I think that serve the norm now I think it's like. We all expect that in it sort of You know yourself, will that's for the table? Does this job the table, an emerald rewrite it. I just started in, and I think also there's something about women, We know our world in comedy world, and so we can make each other last may differently than we would try our normal audience, does a tv hall of fame of people there. Probably gonna sound alive and we're brilliantly funny and couldn't wait, find how it worked for there. It is it's a very specific skill set that yield, never use anywhere else and psyche if you're telling a joke, but you have to always be looking.

At one of three cameras. Or you know it's an reading q cards. At the same time, it is a strange thing that you have to learn That's really happy when people like Bill Haider, who I adore was so fantastic on DOT Snl, but then new How to translate what he was doing into Barry to these other into other forms of entertainment and knew how to make the adjustments and I think, we'll farewells another example of someone who did that. A brilliantly Pharaoh by the way, I'm one who might one of my all time. people that I can't I read We do I'm doing comedy. I don't like to break. I dont want. Alas, I really want commit to being a straight mandate within arm and he's got these dead. I, I always think of. I always think of.

Anyone hey we're not talking about the cock, but we're not talking about it. We're talking about me and what I am

up to and my new movie the bird is that's my business. That's my personal life and I went ok, fine, so we're talking little bit and then the birds like that seems like the efforts we are not talking about the goddamn bird Conan. The bird is none of your and his eyes. He never betrays that. Something funny is happening and to me that the essence of really great comedy is there is not absolutely nothing funny happening here? Is that the thought that well. I don't know I'm I'm. I have to say I'm thrilled if you decide to keep working at CERN, outline but you're, not someone. I would ever worry about for second, because if you don't, work it s a now. You're gonna do brilliant things. I know that for fact, so that will thank you.

It was You had ordered Amazon package and it doesn't show up rights. He called me down and what are we to go? Look around for at five minutes go by sauna call says Conan from Amazon package come back down in that five minutes. Taken the time to carve a hole and just a random box justice.

Get the new assistant to Sonia come up here Carlinville Illinois say I found the box, get you, open it and then have me, give you the finger now. That's that's man. That's a true sociopath work

If you want me to say like a genuine nice one, if no one dares about it, you know what do I do that I do and I had never been to me York until I went with the show and the night there he got there. You are trying to tell me places to avoid at night to be. safe and then you found out. I had no cash on music gave me fifty dollars just in case they are into an emergency that is now to get the money back now. You know I can keep it even though I do not have an emergency, or maybe you Dennis it I just kept it. I think you told me I could keep it. I want them What did you do with that?
