You see that I'm asleep, and then you 168 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: take off your glasses and like all of a sudden, 169 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: you can see better. That's that's what a Tina Fe is. 170 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: Tina Fe famously doesn't really need those glasses. She wears 171 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: them as an aesthetic choice. Image. Well, for me, first 172 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 1: of all, my first classes were very ugly, and so 173 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: it became a functional. It was a functional thing that 174 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: became is why you had ugly glasses. All I was 175 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: able to choose from where the Costco frames. That's all 176 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: you could get. That's all I could get for how long? 177 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: For like until I was, like in the eighth grade, 178 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: I want to say, or no, like in high school 179 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 1: until I was I got to high school, like we 180 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: got because of my perst scoop. I would always get 181 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: my eye exam at the Costco. Shout out to the Costco. 182 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: I I care centers. We love you. But the selections, 183 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: especially back then, we're not so great, especially if you 184 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: were just going, you know, to the brick and mortar 185 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: to shop your glasses instead of buying them online these 186 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: like like we do these days. But I went and girl, 187 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: slim pickens, I have never even thought about your sort 188 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: of journey, journey through the trauma that was having to 189 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: wear I wear that you didn't like. It is a trauma. 190 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: It is a trauma. Honestly, girl, I have thought to 191 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: myself that from the beginning, at least when they tell 192 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: little kids they need glasses, which has got to be 193 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: a tough thing to hear that at least they say, 194 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: but you can have the most amazing pair. But no, 195 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: you think every kid who you think it's part of 196 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: the That's why I have a lot of you have 197 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: a lot of un learning to do. And think about 198 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: the ways that that that disinformation has served you in 199 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: the past. It served me, it certainly has, and it 200 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: served me in negative ways because it's set me on 201 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: a course where I did not know anything about my 202 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: sister's real pain, which was that you didn't have the 203 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: glasses that you liked. And you are such an aesthetic person. 204 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: You are such a person that is in touch with um, 205 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: your image, and you love you love, you love your 206 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: sort of you know things and for you through middle school, 207 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: which is such a hard, difficult time. When you say, 208 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: I would say so so much bullying, so much bad language. 209 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: You know, I'm crying. Oh my god, Oh my god, 210 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: I'm crying. You are crying really hard right now. And 211 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: to think that you had no control over the aesthetic 212 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: on your very face, that really breaks my heart for you, 213 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: because I know it probably chapped a young Bowen's ass. 214 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: And I you know, I like to think of you 215 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: as being indignant, as a child in a in a 216 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: state of sort of upset, But this is like a 217 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: sort of you know, sadness. I don't want to think 218 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: about you ever going through. Thank you. What was something 219 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: that you struggled with in middle school? My color blindness? 220 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 1: Oh my god. And while, first of all, while my sister, 221 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: this became such an emotional episode of last college, it's crazy. 222 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: It's one of the most one of the top four 223 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: most emotional episodes of all time. I was listening to you. 224 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: I was receiving what you were sending me just now, 225 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: your empathy, your understanding, your love, your care. I was 226 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: in full consumption mode. I did not even think about 227 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: the way my sister to this day, well, I cannot 228 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: see colors the way that they are going to be 229 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,239 Speaker 1: a chapter in my book. Actually, I cannot see colors. 230 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: I can't want to really get into that um, but 231 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: I just want to say that my narrative with color 232 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: inness has really taken over the conversation of our friendship 233 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: for the past decade, and I we have not had 234 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: this conversation. I feel that you are well aware of 235 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: my color blindness, whereas I was not aware of the 236 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 1: sort of pain that came with not being able to 237 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: choose your glasses that you liked until a certain age. 238 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: That is truly and you would say that those are 239 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: those are on the same level those pains. I would 240 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: say one is a is a real handicap and one 241 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: is a temporary um but debilitating setback, a thing to overcome. Yeah, 242 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: because I don't know that. I'm sorry. I don't know 243 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: that you will ever overcome your color blindness with it. 244 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: You will live with it. I don't know if it'll 245 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: be you know, I'm living with color blindness. I'm living 246 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: with color blindness. Yeah, And I've I have actually received 247 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: in the past gifts. In fact, last year I got 248 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: a Secret Santa sept Secret Santa gift from Chris Schniker 249 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: and he got me a pair of glasses that were 250 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: for color blind people. Oh, my goodness, and yes, and 251 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: by the way, he's a reader of the party. Also 252 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: got me a lighter that says Adina is a base 253 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: because it was famously one of the one of the 254 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: rules of culture that resonated with him. And he got 255 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 1: me this pair of glasses that's really good that we're 256 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 1: supposed to correct my vision. And it became that moment 257 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: that you see like when a woman hears for the 258 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: first time, like if she hears her own voice like 259 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: that those videos, those heart har warming videos. I was like, 260 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: oh my god, are we going to have that moment? 261 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: But then it turns out they were just shitty glasses. 262 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: And I saw like what you'd see if you wanted to, 263 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: like a fun house. And here's the thing. I can 264 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: choose to either believe that that's true and you're all 265 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: seeing a true fun house and I would rather prefer 266 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: my vision or the glasses were bad. And I'm inclined 267 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: to believe the glasses were bad. What what a fucked 268 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: up life? What way of no? But well, yes, but 269 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: just that the label, the packaging whatever he would give 270 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: off that these were color blind glasses for color blind 271 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: people experience in color blindness. You put them on like you, 272 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: the anticipation of touching one with your fingers, about to 273 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: put them on for the first time, thinking will this be? 274 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: It feels like a scam. This is This is how 275 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: I can describe the trauma of that situation. When I 276 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: put those glasses in my hand, I heard the most 277 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: beautiful music, like I felt like it was the scoring 278 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: of my life was swelling. I was like, this is 279 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: gonna be a moment of all time, and then I 280 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: was just disappointed. So I don't think I will ever 281 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: really truly see you. Know, I'll never truly see you won't, 282 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry.

That's okay. 284 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: I think the way you've seen the world so far 285 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: all your life, whoa, Now I'm emotional, and then the 286 00:15:54,800 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: way you've interpreted that world, and then the way you've 287 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: told told us about it, like reflected it back. It's 288 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: just because I think about the young kids. I think 289 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: about blind kids.

Oh my god? 331 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: You know the legend has it that he maybe almost died. 332 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: I don't really know, Gay, Sorry, I almost died, right, 333 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: was maybe maybe almost dime? And I'm sure he was gay. 334 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: He probably thought about it. Now I think that, Oh 335 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 1: my god, Anna, do we have an analyst? Matt read 336 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: this now. Franklin's experiment demonstrated the connection between lightning and electricity. 337 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: To dispel another myth, Franklin's kite was not struck by lightning. 338 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: Oh my god. If it had been, he probably would 339 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: have been electrocuting experts say, instead, the kite picked up 340 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: the ambient electrical charge from the storm. So I guess 341 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: what we're sort of understanding from what Anna has said 342 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: to us is he wasn't just flying a kite like 343 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: as a hobby and then got struck by lightning and 344 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: said eureka. As it were, he sort of went out 345 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: there with intent and wasn't even electrocuted and struck by 346 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: lightning like we all think, like like like like myth 347 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: would have it, who is your favorite founding father? And 348 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: there's a correct answer. I would say my favorite founding 349 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: father would be John Hancock because he absolutely took his 350 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: space on that document and he said, I'm the greatest 351 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: diva of all. I will take the quill, please Mama 352 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: watch me right, And he slapped his huge slapper on 353 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: there and said find room elsewhere fags and then he 354 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: stomped off John Hancock. What about you? This is the 355 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: correct answer, none of them because they were slave owners. Honey. 356 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: You got me, didn't you. That's you've been waiting to 357 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: be That's why you brought this up. That's why you 358 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: brought this whole benface so you could ask me who 359 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: my favorite founding father was, so you could say the 360 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: right answer was none of them because they were all 361 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: slave owners. Bitch. You know what I feel? What it 362 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: feels really fucking like a good opportunity for me to 363 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: learn you have such grace today. Yeah, well that's because, Um. 364 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: The thing is, I sort of have had, um the time, 365 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: the space with the quarantine to really sit with myself, 366 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: and it's been a really inspiring time and very creative. 367 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: Every day I'm getting up and I'm just creating so much. 368 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: And it's like if I it's like, this is how 369 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: it is as an artist, right. It's like every single 370 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: day I have to do something with all this energy, 371 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, or else the energy will 372 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: turn against me. Um. So I have to be super 373 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: productive every single day. And when I wake up in 374 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: the morning at I get my coffee, which I make 375 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: for myself here at my apartment, and then I sit 376 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: down and I'm in my chair. After just some like 377 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: just you know, I run a couple of miles and 378 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: then I sit down in my chair at nine am. 379 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: I make sure that the latest I'll do is nine 380 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: oh three, and then I just start writing. And I 381 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: don't judge myself, you know what I mean. I just write, 382 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: and usually I have a few really solid um completed 383 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: works by four completed works, yes, and that's when I'm 384 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: ready to sort of unwind by watching film television, well, 385 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: maybe have a glass of wine Chardonnay um, and then 386 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: I'm in bed. I'm in bed by seven seven fifteen, 387 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: my god. So during that time it's been really in 388 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: my in my discoveries and in my work. I've really 389 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: discovered this compassion that I didn't have before. So the 390 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: quarantine has been incredible. It's been an incredible time. That 391 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: is Yeah, that's that's so beautiful. Yeah, and I'm inventing 392 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: things too, like Ben Franklin did what do you oh? Yeah, 393 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, definitely definitely exercising my inner Ben Franklin 394 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: while I'm while I'm in quarantine. Wait, you answer the 395 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: question what are you inventing? Oh okay, so I invented. 396 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: It's so you know how um plants have pots. This 397 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,959 Speaker 1: is a bowl. This is a bowl for a plant. 398 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: Oh my god, a plant bowl. It's a plant bowl. 399 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: It's basically like like you know how you would um 400 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: if you were you know, like spaghetti or soup. You 401 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: need it out of a bowl. Yeah, so this is 402 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: you take that same kind of bowl, fill it with 403 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: um fucking dirt and then you just put that you 404 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: plan a plan in there, and if you water it 405 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: and put it in the sun, you will get a plant. 406 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: Plant I plant, doesn't it need a hole to sort 407 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: of l O L for moisture, to sorry for moisture 408 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: or something to to escape like it needs some sort 409 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: of the system can't be completely closed. Well, UM, I 410 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: guess TBD because that was just one of today's inventions. 411 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: Oh right, and then completed words I assume means an invention. 412 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: The City of Four comic books series is just like 413 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 1: UM calendar ideas, and I'll draw out a cap full 414 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: calendar UM I have UM. So basically, UM, I have 415 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: a calendar idea which is the Chickens of the Midwest, 416 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 1: And it's basically it's a picture of a chicken in 417 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: every Midwest state and there's twelve, the twelve Midwest states 418 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: of course. The Yeah, so this is sort of to 419 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: appeal to like young farmers, young girls that are sort 420 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 1: of um, you know in the Midwest. I found themselves there, 421 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: teachers for classrooms. This is a Chickens of the Midwest calendar, 422 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: and it's really really fun and it has all the 423 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: Midwest states all twelve. I think that Ben Franklin was 424 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: such an amazing person. Yeah, probably gay. Who do you 425 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: think he what do you what do you think this 426 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: type would have been. I think that he was like 427 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: really fixated on a type that was like sort of 428 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: unattainable at the time, because I think he was like 429 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: I think he was like this is this sort of 430 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: sucks to say, but I think that Ben Franklin was 431 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: like addicted to these guys that would become president, you 432 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: know what I mean, And they were like the hotter guys, 433 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: like these guys that like, you know, like Hamilton's I 434 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: was like hot hotter. Were they younger? There's a difference both. 435 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 1: I mean like at the time, it was like at 436 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: the time when you were thirty five, you were elderly, 437 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: so like these guys like they were like young, tighter, 438 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: just like a little bit more good looking, a little 439 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: bit more charismatic. I think like Ben Franklin helped him 440 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: out and put so much energy and investment into them 441 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: that he he could never settle down enough to to 442 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: sort of find his own attainable love because these guys 443 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: nothing was ever good enough like Ben, not even Ben 444 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: was good enough for them, and they just wanted to 445 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: funk because they were like that's Ben Franklin, Like cloud 446 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 1: goes up, like wow if I suck him? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 447 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: Like basically like just being around Ben was like enough 448 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: because he maybe he was going to invent something really good, 449 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: so you wanted to be fucking him. Well, Ben like 450 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: held court better then would be in the back of 451 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: back of the you know, the bar, just like having 452 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: people gather around him, and he would just like yeah, 453 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: he was a great storyteller, you know, crack wise or whatever. 454 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: So it's he was amazing improviser, too, amazing improviser. At 455 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: the time, it was hot, even hotter than it is now, 456 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: and so it's really hot now. Well, but I feel 457 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: like Ben probably saw himself a little desexualized because he couldn't. 458 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: He was misinterpreting what does signals of desire he was 459 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: getting from men. Yeah, and I also just think like 460 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: he wasn't as traditionally hot as the rest of them. 461 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: And these guys were narcissists, Okay, they called themselves the 462 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 1: Founding Fathers. Crazy. It's like, I mean, like Ben, it's 463 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: like the wigs are there, like the men are wearing 464 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: the wigs. Yeah, you know you could, you could have 465 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: worn one, yeah, but instead he was like, I feel strong, 466 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: powerful with my fully bald head. But I meant at 467 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 1: a certain point you have to acknowledge the beauty standard, 468 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 1: and you know, there is the beauty myth. But I 469 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: think things are governed by it doesn't mean it's like 470 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: saying like I don't. It's like me being like, um, 471 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: I don't believe in money. It's like you can't say that. 472 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: You can't say that, or no ethical consumption under capitalism. 473 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: It's like true, So let's just kind of do our thing, 474 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, yes, we'll do that. 475 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: We'll do the ad for a We'll do the ad 476 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: for ALEXA. So I mentioned the same way Ben Franklin 477 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: probably was like, I'm smarter than the system, but he 478 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: really wasn't. You cannot pace it. I I hope that 479 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: he was a content person, you know what I mean. 480 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 1: I hope that he was able to at the end 481 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: of his life look at all the things he did 482 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: and say, you know what, maybe I didn't slay it 483 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: relationship wise. Maybe I couldn't get these guys to fuck 484 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: me like in a locked down way. Maybe maybe I 485 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: never did, like, you know, hook up with and keep 486 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson, which is really what he wanted. It's what 487 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,239 Speaker 1: they all wanted to Thomas. Yeah, I think so. They 488 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: let him write the Declaration of Independence. It's like that. 489 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: He was like the golden boy, you think. And he 490 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: had that red hair which made him stand out. He 491 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: was married to Deborah Read for many years. Deborah Read, 492 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: you know, you know all about what she did? What 493 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: did she do? She was a big murderer. Killer. Yeah, 494 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: she's a big killer. She was a major killer. I 495 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: think Ben Franklin was gay. I think that that's why 496 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: he was married to a killer is because he was like, 497 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: let's make the comic and have a conversation based on 498 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,479 Speaker 1: something else, because I don't want them talking about how 499 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: I'm gay, so I'm gonna marry this crazy killer taking 500 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: the cent off himself. That's smart, she's smart. He was 501 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: one of the smartest. Before we move on, what's your 502 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: number one electrical um invention? Sing a router? Router is important, 503 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: Router is really good. I would say clock. That's a 504 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: clock that's so important and fun to tell time. And 505 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: I really I loved learning how to tell time him in, 506 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: So that was one of the highlights of Think how 507 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: long did it take free too? I mean I just 508 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: I truly like it probably took like all of two 509 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: days to learn how to tell time from a clock, 510 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: But I felt like my brain was reorganizing itself so 511 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: profoundly that it took maybe five years for me to 512 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: learn how clocks worked. Yeah. Yeah, it was crazy for 513 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: me because I actually learned how in forty five minutes. 514 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: But then I got so I knew how to tell 515 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: time for like six years, and then I got really sick. 516 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: I got scarlet fever, and I forgot how to walk 517 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: and tell time. So I had to relearn how to 518 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: walk and lose a clock. So that's why my situation 519 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: is a little bit more different. I kind of assumed 520 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: it didn't exist. This is I'm sorry. I keep doing 521 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: this like with the color blind thing, and um, I 522 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: have to I have a lot to learn. I have 523 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: a lot to learn, learning and unlearning. And um, you 524 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: know who didn't have anything else to learn was Ben 525 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,719 Speaker 1: and we want to thank him. He had, he had 526 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: it all. We want to thank him. Thank you Ben 527 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: for risking your life to give Bowen a router and 528 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: me o'clock, which we take for granted. Well that to 529 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: June tenth, seventeen fifty two, Ben Franklin flies the kite 530 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: and girl makes a shocking discovery.
