Speaker 1: my name is Ron Burgundy. And if that's not enough,

3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: we'll then go fudge yourself. Shoot, I said fudge, but

4
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: I meant to say. This is my podcast and I'm

5
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: sitting here with my best friend in the whole world, Carolina, who,

6
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: by the way, is sporting a bright yellow neckerchief. Let's

7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: talk about that for a second. I'm not wearing anything

8
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: yellow today. What are you talking about? Boy? You just

9
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: go with it for once? Will you go with what

10
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: you want me to? Lion say, I'm wearing a yellow knuckerchef. Yes,

11
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: I do. I want you to lie and pretend it's

12
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: a podcast, for Heaven's sake. Pretending is fun. Carolina. Didn't

13
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: you even pretend with your dollies when you were a child. No,

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: I didn't have dollies. No dollies. Hold dollies. Hold on, okay,

15
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: let me get my head around that. When you were

16
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: a young girl, you didn't have a dolly. I did

17
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: not have a dolly. I don't even know if I

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: called them that. No dollies. Very interesting? The puzzle is complete?

19
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: What puzzle? A completed puzzle? What are you talking about? Oh? Nothing.

20
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: Just the puzzle has come into complete view. All the

21
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: pieces are in and there it is. Wow, yep, it

22
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,639
Speaker 1: all makes sense. Now, don't give a girl a dolly

23

00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: Wonderful treasure Carolina. Uh No, I keep my poems locked

77
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: in a vault in my storage unit in Arizona. However,

78
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: I do have about a thousand or so roughly that's

79
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: an estimation, in the trunk of my car. Oh okay.

82
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: will go and get the poetry. That's fine. I'm not

83
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: gonna let you or anyone else take a look at

84
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: the trunk of my car. I've said this maybe a

85
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: million times, right, I mean, if anyone gets near the

86
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: trunk of my car, anyone, man, woman, or child, they

87
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: will get kicked in the face. Okay. And we've gone

88
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: through this before, right Carolina. I mean, you remember what

89
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: happened last time someone broke into my trunk. It was

90
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: what time? Um? I think you said it was hospital time.

91
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: That's right, it was hospital time for those people. Yeah.

92
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: Is the trunk of my car is a sacred space? Okay?

93
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: And it's not because of weird reasons. It sounds weird,

94
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: it's not. The insistence is weird. The insistence of wanting

95
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: to protect the sanctity of my trunk is weird. This, yeah,

96
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: the sacredness, the sanctity, the aggressive the way you talk

97
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: about it. But you know what happens if you go

98
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 1: near my trunk. It's hospital time. What time? It's hospital time?

99
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: Say it again, it's hospital time. Okay, hold on on

100
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: that note. I'm gonna go go to my trunk alright, alright,

101
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna ask about it. Um, the Ron Burgundy

102
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: Podcast will be right back. I guess hello everyone, I'm

103
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: Ron Burgundy, and today on the podcast you'll be getting

104
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: some top shelf culture with some of the finest poetry

105
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: you've ever heard in your life, my own, Carolina, do

106
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: me and our listeners a favorite and describe what you're

107
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 1: looking at. Um. Ron went into his trunk, his sacred trunk,

108
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: and um, well, there are boxes and boxes of crumpled

109
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: paper and napkins and like rolls and rolls and rolls

110
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: of toilet paper, pristine rolls of toilet paper, and um

111
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: and notebooks all over the studio. Now, way more than

112
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: I feel like I could fit in the trunk of

113
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: your car. But I guess not so not so. Packing

114
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: a trunk of a car is an art form. It

115
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: requires great skill and geometric knowledge, which I possess in spades.

116
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: I could and probably will, do a whole show on

117
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: packing a car trunk. Write that down, Carolina, how to

118
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: pack your car? That's an episode. Damn it, You're you're

119
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: not writing it down. Ron Burgundy and the Art of

120
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: Packing your car? How about that for a ratings bonanza?

121
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: Write it down. Okay, folks, if you're listening at home,

122
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: well you'd have to be listening. Young Carolina has her

123
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: arms folded like a librarian with a stick upper butt.

124
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: And she is not, I repeat, not writing a thing down.

125
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: But I love it for that. She is a dinder

126
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: doodle bodkin by Colly. Anyway, I'm going to read some

127
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,080

128
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: to be blown away. Are you ready to Carolina? I'm sorry,

129
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm having trouble concentrating. How many rolls of toilet paper

130
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: do you have here? It looks like you had like

131
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: a hundred rolls of toilet paper in the trunk of

132
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: your car. Yes, for tonight? What do you mean for tonight?

133
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: Are you doing something? How many rolls of toilet paper

134
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: do you use in one day? I'm not going to

135
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: tell you that no nobody, because nobody believes me, so

136
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: I'll believe you. But how many do you use? Now?

137
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: I have to know how many do I use? I

138
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: use sixty rolls of toilet paper a day. Now you don't,

139
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: that's not possible. Listen. I like to groom. I like

140
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: to put cologne on my neck. I like to brush

141
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: my chest hair from time to time. And yes, I

142
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: like to wipe, all right, can we please just get

143
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: back to the episode. And I like to wipe vigorously

144
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: and often. All right, I'm sorry, okay, I am, in

145
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: fact curious about what kind of poetry you write. So yeah,

00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: let's get back to the I'll tell you what type

Speaker 1: me one from that stack over there, all right, let

149
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: me unfold this. Yes, oh, this one is called the bucket.

150
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: I read there once was a man from Nantucket who

151
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 1: kept all his whoop in a bucket. After a week,

152
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: the bucket did leak, so he found a bag and said,

153
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: that's quite a poem, am, I right, sure it's. I mean,

154
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: it's a limerick, but it's a form of poetry. I

155
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: guess if you want to call that. Okay, So, so

156
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: you don't like that one, I can do more than limericks. Here,

157
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: hand me another, all right. This one is called the

158
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: magical Can. I once knew a man in a van

159
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: who pooped in a magical can. Jesus, the more he

160
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: would pooh, the more the can grew. It truly was

161
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: a magical can. I like the delivery sensational, right, sure,

162
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: I can tell that the pride is there. Yes, And

163
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: here's a little fun tidbit. I remember where that one

164
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: came to me. I was walking the great Pacific rim Trail.

165
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: It was morning, and the birds were just beginning the

166
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: long symphony of their day. The sun appeared over the

167
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: eastern ridge, spreading a glorious orange red light, and the

168
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: magic steve. It all flooded in a great wave of

169
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: warm inner feeling I shall never forget. So then you

170
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: were moved. You just had to get it down. The

171
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: poem about poop Carolina. You know, not the mind of

172
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: the poet. The poet is a dreamer and a dancer, right, Okay,

173
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm just curious. Have you written anything that's not a limerick? Um?

174
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: Let me see, hand me one from that pile. Okay, yes, okay.

175
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: I once knew a lady named Regina. We had cucumbers

176
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: up her. Not appropriate? Okay, give me another. Okay, there

177
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: once was a bloke who was all wrong, but who

178
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: was blessed with an elephant dong. Okay, that must be

179
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: my my blue pile for adult crowds only got it. Okay,

180
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: So that's why I don't know if I've ever told

181
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: you about this, But there was a time when I

182
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: was hired to do risk scap parties for adults only.

183
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: It was a way to make some extra bucks on

184
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: the side, and not a bad place to pick up

185
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: a board housewife. I might add I was known around

186
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: San Diego not as Ron Burgundy, but as Slappy Newsome,

187
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: and I booked a lot of parties. I still perform

188
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: from time to time as Slappy Newsom. If I'm short

189
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: on bread. Well, you don't want to hear about that.

190
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: Everything's always great with Ron, as far as you know,

191
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: it's not never any problems. Ald Ron on top of

192
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: the world. Well, sometimes it feels like fire ants have

193
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: crawled up my Okay, okay, what what's in that box

194
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: over there? Probably Limerix from what you've read, Okay, give

195
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: me that. Okay, all right, I read they're Once was

196
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: a woman named Leah here we go, and she loved

197
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: to drink her sangria. But when she ate some roast duck,

198
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: she ran out of luck when the bird caused her

199
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: to squirt diarrhea. Oh come on, come on, what maybe

200
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: something more serious? Diarrhea is serious business? Okay, serious business,

201
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: don't mess around a diarrhea. It's nothing to laugh about.

202
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: That poem was more like a public service announcement. But okay,

203
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: what's in that box over there? Hand me one from

204
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: that box. Ah? Yes, The Phantom Wind by Ronald R. Burgundy.

205
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: This must be one of my my more youthful poems.

206
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: When the world was young and love lingered longingly in

207
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: the air. I was probably no older than you when

208
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: this poem was written. Oh, I bet it's a limerick.

209
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: Heck no. I said this to some serious literary journal

210
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: like Reader's Digest, to be published so I could make

211
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: my way in the world as a young writer, long

212
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: before my prestigious career in the news business. Hm, I'll read,

213
00:14:53,720 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: let me read it the Phantom Wind. The wind blew

214
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: into town today, dressed in linen and lace. She held

215
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: herself in great esteem. Even as she brushed my face.

216
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: I was unaware of where she went other faces angrily,

217
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: I guessed. She left so quickly then, and left me

218
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: with what I missed. Are you okay? You don't look okay?

219
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: Ron ron come on, are you have to do it?

220
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: Poujie is a double edged sword. You know. It cuts

221
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: both ways. Beauty and the ugly truth, joy and sadness.

222
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes the pain keep going of creation is simply bearable. Okay,

223
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: oh the muses, Why do you ensnare me and your

224
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: tortures guile? I don't know, al right, Hand me one

225
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: from that pile. Here we go. This one is called

226
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: simply the tart. I once knew a fabulous tart who

227
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: was chased out of town on a card. But before

228
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: she did go, she let her butt blow a most

229
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: magnificent fart. That wonderful poetry is the window to the soul,

230
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: they say. My my favorite poet is Ron McEwen, probably

231
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: the greatest American poet of all time. But then you

232
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: know that, Oh no, I actually I've never heard of him.

233
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm sure your favorite poet is Britney Spears

234
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: or whoever you listen to when you're not out riding

235
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: your horse. I don't ride a horse, Yes you do, No,

236
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: I don't. Metaphorically speaking, what do you think girls do like?

237
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: I don't have dollies. I don't ride a horse. Okay,

238
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: I take it back, it's not a metaphor. You straight

239
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: up ride a horse. You call the horse horsey because

240
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: you lack imagination. Tell me I'm right. I'm not going

241
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: to tell you no, I don't ride a horse. Okay,

242
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: you win. I thought I knew you, But you're as

243
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: foreign to me as a pair of blue jeans. I

244
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: want to hear another poem. I mean, okay, what about

245
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: a love poem. I think everyone would like to hear

246
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: a Ron Burgundy love poem. Make it like coming right

247
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: up hand me that. Oh, yes, that napkin from the

248
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: stack over there. Yes, Oh, I remember this, Jim. I

249
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: wrote this one night in a two dollar hotel room

250
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, back when they had two dollar hotel rooms.

251
00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 1: It's called the daffodils. Death deals everywhere in bunches and

252
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: spread out all over the room I'm in. It's an

253
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: explosion of daffodils. All I can say is wow, here

254
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: and there daffodils on my bed and on the window sill. Daffodils.

255
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: There must be hundreds of them. Wait, they're not called daffodils.

256
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: I was confused. They're called ladybugs. That that was your

257
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: This doesn't sound like a love poem. It sounds more

258
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: like maybe in nature. I don't know, I don't know

259
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: what that was. Well, when you're older and you've traveled

260
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: the world and seen men cut by knives and monsters

261
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: of every shape and size, you'll understand that that was

262
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: indeed a love poem. Give me another one quick, here

263
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: we go, all right? Ah the Best by Ron Burgundy.

264
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: I am the very best there is. There's no one

265
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: better in the biz. I know how to get it done.

266
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: It's why I'm own as number one. My shoes and

267
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: my belt are leather. My overcoat can handle any weather.

268
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: I have many handmade boots. I have many more handmade suits.

269
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: I own hundreds of movies on VHS. So you see,

270
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: I am the best. Good but not great. Yeah, not

271
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: as moving. Yeah, I probably that one out on a

272
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: bus or something. You know, not every poem is going

273
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: to be worthy of an oscar. But still it's worth

274
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: publishing in a book. I don't well, I'm sorry. Why

275
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: haven't you put all these poems in a buck? Oh

276
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: that's a great question. Well, I I have plans right now.

277
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: I have enough for sixteen volumes of poetry, roughly the

278
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: size of a set of encyclopedias. But I don't want

279
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: to separate them. So I'm designing one book about the

280
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: size of a California King bed battress. It's going to

281
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: be over ten thousand pages long, and it should weigh

282
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: around seven hundred pounds, but I'd like it to cost

283
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: around fourteen bucks. And and that's well, it's funny you

284
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: should say that, because that's where the big publishing houses

285
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: are fighting me. They say it's the size that they're

286
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: bumping up against. And I may end up building my

287
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: own printing press to get around that. That would really

288
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: turn the publishing world upside down. A seven hundred pound

289
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: book of poetry the size of a bed mattress. Think

290
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: about that. I mean, I've always been a disruptor. I

291
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: believe in going against the status quo. And and if

292
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: you're a poet, then you know how I feel. Lord

293
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: at all lauded it? Lord did it at all? Lord Lord,

294
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: don't deed de lord do don't do deed? Lord de

00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: lorded DoD Lord de lord, dear don't lord DoD do

297
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: run Carolina? How did you get in my room? I'm

298
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: sorry you were lost there for a second. Are you

299
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: going to read more poetry? Do? I'll leave you? Okay,

300
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: give me another one? Oh? Okay? Oh my what do

301
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: we have here? Oh, perhaps perhaps this one is too personal,

302
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: too raw. Let's uh yeah, let's save that for another day.

303
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: Some of these poems go straight to my heart and

304
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: I and I'm honest not sure if I have the

305
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: courage to share them with all the world. Okay, we'll

306
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: pass on that one. No, no, damn it. They were

307
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: meant to be shared, no matter how revealing, I'll do it.

308
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: I feel compelled to let the listeners know. This poem

309
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: is as close to say T. S. Eliot or Sylvia

310
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: Plath as I can get. There's nuance here in every word,

311
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: but for the secret of truth, there's a great reward

312
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: in discovering its meaning. In short, this might be my

313
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: most personal poem. Okay, wow, okay, it's titled what did

314
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: you say? That's exciting? I'm interested. It's titled the Man

315
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: from Afar. Okay, h and I read. I once had

316
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: a roommate named Steve, and he had one big pet Peeve.

317
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: When I ate all his beans and took out his window,

318
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: that's when he begged me to leave. Wonderful, simply wonderful.

319
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: Hand me another, milady, I'm sorry, where is Steve today?

320
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: Do you know? Well, Honestly, that was the least of

321
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: our problems. Yes, when I out his window, I mean

322
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: we we had so many bigger issues as roommates. I'm

323
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: going to say some constructive criticism about that pass. I

324
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: don't think it's that good. That's my note. I it's

325
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: not like Sylvia Plath or t s Elliott at all.

326
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: So I don't know why. Okay, And I will say

327
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: this back to you. Get off my chain, okay, because

328
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: I write in the style that is best for what

329
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to convey. You want an epic, I have epics.

330
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: You want to sonnet, I have sonnets. You you want

331
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: a nursery rhyme? I have those two. Great, Okay, give

332
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: me a nursery rhyme. We'll do. We'll do. Hand that

333
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: purple box over there. Okay. These are these ones that

334
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: are written in cran Yes, I mean it's the only

335
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: way to write nursery rhymes. Someone should put out a

336
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: book of my nursery rhymes. Mother goose as one probably

337
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: not her real name, by the way, probably something like

338
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: gooster Lich or goose Bomb, and she changed it to

339
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: sell more books. If I was a betting man, I

340
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: would say her name was Jennifer goos Ington and some

341
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: smartass publisher came up with mother Goose. Anyway, I think

342
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: I should have a book of nursery rhymes out there.

343
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: I would call it ron Burgundy's Better Bountiful Book of

344
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: silly children's Verse. I can't wait to read that. Um.

345
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: Let's hear one. Okay, this one's called the spider Spider,

346
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: Spider way a pie. Do you want my cherry pie?

347
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: Come down, Come down on your string. Let me hear

348
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: your small mouth sing, sing me a spider lullaby, and

349
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: you shall have my cherry pie. That wasn't actually that bad,

350
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: I'm compared to some of your other stuff. I mean,

351
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: I was expecting more of an adult version of children's

352
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: verse coming from you, But I'm impressed that was That

353
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: was reasonable. Yeah, I mean I know my way around

354
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: nursery rhymes, young lady, Okay, I can see that. Here's

355
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: one one time, two time, three time four We used

356
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: our butts to mop the floor. Yeah, that's more simple, straightforward,

357
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: easy on the ears. Oh, poetry should be easy on

358
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: the ears, which is not to say all poetry should

359
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: be about kittens and lambs. No poetry needs to explore

360
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: darker subjects man's inner struggles, loss and pain and suffering,

361
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: war and famine, heartbreak and fear. This is a poem

362
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: I wrote that addresses such depth of exploration of which

363
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: I speak. It's simply titled Venus. M hmm. That night

364
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: there was something between us. She said she was from

365
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: the planet Venus, from below and above. We made sweet love.

366
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: In the morning she showed me her penis. Well, what

367
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: do you think? Huh? Pretty solid? Right, that's a poem.

368
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: That is a poem, I guess. Okay, Ms Swarthmore if

369
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: you think you can read me a better one, any

370
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: poem you can remember, or something from the internet, really anything,

371
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you if it's up to my standards. Oh um,

372
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: well I didn't go to Swarthmore. Well, one of the

373
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: s schools Smith Swinkleton's scripts. Suremount Shire Shop, you know

374
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Just read something. Um, okay, here's

375
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: one I've actually always loved. It's by one of my

376
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: favorite poets, um, Emily Dickinson. She was just mind blowing, profound.

377
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you've heard of her. I dated a woman

378
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: named Emily Dickinson back in the seventies, not the same

379
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: one that was a wild ride, my friends, a wild ride.

380
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: I have not thought about that girl in over forty years.

381
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: Oh boy, you want to talk about a wild ride.

382
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: That was some wild ride? I get it. Okay, Well,

383
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: this Emily Dickinson, the one I'm talking about. She wrote

384
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: the poem I'm about to read sometime in um must

385
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 1: have been the middle of the last century. We are

386
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: talking about two different women. Then my Emily, Yes, because

387
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: she was no poet. She was a free spirit, for sure.

388
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: She never wore a bra good, I guess. Heck, she

389
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: never wore clothes as far as I can remember that.

390
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: You know that the seventies should be remembered as one

391
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: long orgy as far as I'm concerned. This is getting

392
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: off subject. But in nineteen seventy three I went to

393
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: an orgy that I didn't leave until nineteen seventy five.

394
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: That's two years of orgy, buddy, that's a lot of orgy.

395
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: And I think Emily was there. But then so many

396
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: people dropped in and out. Suzanne Plachette, Robert Blake, Robert

397
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: Conrad Hope, laying the list goes on. Anyway, I'm getting

398
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: off subject. You were going to read some poem from

399
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 1: some woman no one's ever heard of go um okay,

400
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: it's called I'm Nobody? Who are You? By Emily Dickinson. Um,

401
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm nobody? Who are you? Are you nobody too? Then

402
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: there's a pair of us. Don't tell. I don't think so.

403
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: They'd banish us. You know, how dreary to be somebody?

404
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: H how public like a frog? Like a frog to

405
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: tell your name the Livelong day to an admiring bog. Okay,

406
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: I mean she can rhyme, Yeah, she can spit. But

407
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's considered a good poem. It's

408
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: considered a great poem. I mean, if if it is,

409
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: then I think I have a pretty good chance of

410
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: winning the Best Poem Awards day. Here's how I would

411
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: have done it, off the top of my head, going

412
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: to revise the poem. Let me okay, Uh, there once

413
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: was a guy who was nobody who filled his belly

414
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: with hot toddy. Um, you drank so much whiskey, stomach

415
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: felt frisky, and he let loose a fifty pound partty.

416
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: It goes back to the poop. Huh. Yeah, that blows

417
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,959
Speaker 1: the doors off off of that ditty you read. I mean,

418
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: if Emily Dickinson was here in the room, she'd probably

419
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: be like, I'm so jealous of what you just came

420
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: up with. Maybe maybe, I mean, I think she'd be floored.

421
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: There's no way to know. She might be offended. And

422
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: mine has a moral too, you know. I mean, I'm

423
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: not saying this. Emily Dickinson isn't good, right, She's okay,

424
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: But you gotta admit, I nail that sucker. And that

425
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: was off the top of my head. And she probably

426
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: spent days thinking of her little rhyme. She is really

427
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: considered one of the greatest poets ever and you wait

428
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: her poem, wait her really? Yes, a woman poet, one

429
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: of the greatest. What a wonderful world we live in.

430
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: It's it's really extraordinary. I mean, you know, Carolina. Every

431
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: day I wake up in this menagerie of color and sound,

432
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: and I see beautiful new things happening. Music I've never

433
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: heard before, cars with no sound, labradoodles, and yoga pants.

434
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: It's truly a magical place. Sure we have bigotry and

435
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: hate and angry men and women running around, but with

436
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: each new day comes the promise of surprise. I can

437
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: hardly believe it. And now you're saying a woman poet

438
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: is one of the best. Wonderful. It's simply wonderful, it

439
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: really is. That's beautiful, it's beautifully put. It's extraordinarily well put. Yeah,

440
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: I was. I don't know what else you want me

441
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: to say. If yes, it was amazing. You know, Carolina,

442
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: A lot of times when you look at me, you

443
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: don't blink. Are you aware of that tick? I didn't really,

444
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: I didn't think of it like a tick. I think

445
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at you in the eye. It's freaking

446
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: you out. I don't know. I just I'm just noticing

447
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: it now for the first time. You barely blink. I blink. Look,

448
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm blinking, blink, blink blink. Well, no, now your eyes

449
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: were just shut. Though. I'm a normal human. I'm normal.

450
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: You're strange. I'm normal. Well, if that's what you have

451
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: to tell yourself to get through the day, then I'm

452
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: proud of you. Okay, let's get back to the task

453
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: at hand. You know what, I feel like, I'd like

454
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: to try something from my my beatnick years, So do

455
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: me the favor and give me that that old leather

456
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: bag over there, Yes, that one. I'm sorry. There's just

457
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: so much toilet paper. It's it's fine, just past, just

458
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: past it. Yes, I didn't know you were a beat, Nick,

459
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: I think I missed that chapter. Well, I hung around.

460
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: I knew most of the beats. Uh Karroac Gainsburg. I

461
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: hitched across the country and road box cars and worked

462
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: the railroad anyway. I carried around an old Smith Corona

463
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: typewriter in a beat up old suitcase. I used to

464
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: pound out versus for kicks. And here's what I wrote, well,

465
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: riding rail out of Needles, California. It's called into the

466
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: desert with nothing to wear. And maybe Nick, you guys

467
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: can throw some jazz fluid and some bongos behind this one.

468
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we what are we paying you

469
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: guys for anyway? Right? Yeah, we can. It's not a problem.

470
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's not pushing a button and

471
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: would require a little thought and some work. But who knows,

472
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: maybe after three seasons of this podcast they could get

473
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: their thumbs out of their butts and do something for me.

474
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: You know, that's not necessary, just a suggestion. Anyway. Once again,

475
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: it's called into the desert with nothing to wear, into

476
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: the desert, it's nothing to wear. I left my overcoat

477
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: back in Sacelito. Back in Sacelito, there was wine and

478
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: talk and more and more talk, empty headed angels banging

479
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: their brains against the red sky, dawn, seagulls circling the moon,

480
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: sal ketchen, the old American walking right up to the

481
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: edge of the water to give thanks. And then the night,

482
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: all nights give way to the dawn. So it was

483
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: in Sarcelito they had this little train shack out back

484
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: by the rail yard, and this old guy switchman or

485
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: brakeman or something would play as old harmonica for the

486
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: hoboes and all the ghosts of hoboes past. And I

487
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: would come in from the cold and share his wine

488
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: and talk railroad politics and girls he knew, and loves

489
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: he never knew, and the big dark world he once

490
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: traversed with great bounding steps longing, not unlike my own longing.

491
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: A lonesome night never ended hands in Pocket, Portland, Frisco, Detroit, Omaha,

492
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: where the boys and girls grow tall and straight, and

493
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: the far off whistle of the train calls out even

494
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: to them in their sleeping. The desert is cold, man,

495
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: I'd give anything to have that overcoat now roun Burgundy

496
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: needles California, September nine. Wow, well there you have it,

497
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: something from my beatenick period. It It's been a long

498
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: time since my rough and rowdy days, but still look

499
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: fondly on that time. I'm sorry you said, um, how

500
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: old were you? If I would have been around eleven

501
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: or twelve years old, I guess, and you were riding

502
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: train cars and drinking. Look, buddy, we didn't all grow

503
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: up drinking whole milk from mama's tits, if you know

504
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: what I mean. I don't um any more poems to

505
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,720
Speaker 1: read for today. This is a poem I wrote today

506
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: in my head. It's an ode to you. Oh really,

507
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: I actually no one's ever written me a poem before. Okay, well,

508
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm nervous, and I don't want you to think it's stupid. No, no, no, no,

509
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: I won't. I promise I'm not going to be mean

510
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: or anything. Okay, an ode. I call it simply my

511
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: best friend. And it goes like this, I once knew

512
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: a woman named Carolina with a wonderful smile and a

513
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: human vagina. Jesus Christ, but I do not care what's

514
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: going on down there, because what's important to me what

515
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: I tell everyone I see there is no one finer

516
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: run that is so wait, it's not finished, Carolina, Carolina,

517
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: I lied to you, Okay, I don't use sixty rolls

518
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: of toilet paper. I really use seventy five a day. Wipe, wipe,

519
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: wipe your butt front to back, my cheeks. Clap, clap, clap,

520
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: And that one is for you, Carolina. You know what,

521
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 1: Maybe we should call it quits to the poetry for today. Okay,

522
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: if you say so. But I feel I was just

523
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: picking up steam. I mean, the hundreds of boxes in

524
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,280
Speaker 1: this room are only a fraction of what I've written

525
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: and collected over the years, so many poems, and most

526
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: of them the good kind. I mean, I I don't

527
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: want to get the listeners excited. But if I started

528
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: reading my poetry out and I never took a break,

529
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't finish reading until October of this year. You

530
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 1: don't need to do that. Isn't that extraordinary to think about?

531
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: They've only heard a few, maybe not even my best ones.

532
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: These are only the poems I keep in my trunk.

533
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: We we could take a break, and I could drive

534
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 1: out to my storage unit in Kingman, Arizona and grab

535
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: some more boxes. You know what, I think we're good.

536
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: I think the listeners gott an idea of the kind

537
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: of poetry you write. I want to take a break. Yes,

538
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: all kinds, but mainly limericks, and mainly dirty limericks about

539
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: hoop and Vagina's touche. Yeah, I do love that form.

540
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: Here's one. Do we have to do just one more? Okay,

541
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: maybe when we're off the air. Actually it's it's not

542
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: a limerick. It's not. Nope, are you sure well? It is?

543
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: It is a limit, right, Yeah, maybe we can save

544
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: it for another day, you know, well, so be it.

545
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: But I do want to say I think we've we've

546
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: learned quite a lot today about poetry and about ourselves.

547
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: For what is a poet if not a kind of

548
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: truth teller? Why poetry at all? If not to shed

549
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: light on the darkness of our lives. It doesn't have

550
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: to be Shakespeare, of course, or Burgundy. It could be

551
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: some little ditty from the radio that pulls you out

552
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 1: of your doldrums. For there is poetry and everything, from

553
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: the raindrops that fall, to the sound of crashing waves,

554
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: to the great bleeding of the mountain elk, to the

555
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: howl of the Oregon skunk owl. And yes I made

556
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: that one up. There is no Oregon skunk owl, but

557
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: if there was one, it would howl like one hundred

558
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 1: wolves and shake the snow from trees with its hideous

559
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 1: piercing howl. But alas there is no Oregon skunk owl.

560
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: I wish there was, but it just can't be. I

561
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: did draw one, if but where was I Yes, my

562
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: closing remarks about poetry, Yes, honor the poets in our world.

563
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: Shower them with garlands and riches for it as they

564
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: who keep the soul alive while the world turns to

565
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: ship I'm Ron Burgundy. Good night, and for Carolina here

566
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: I will say good night as well. Hold up, Hold up,

567
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,720
Speaker 1: hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up one more second.

568
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: I think I will read just one more. This is

569
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: actually when I was in the death Jam scene. You

570
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 1: know what I'm getting the signal we are out of times. Okay,

571
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: here we go. Listen up, Listen up, listen up, listen up. Okay,

572
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: put them off. Thank you. By the way, Oregon skunk

573
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 1: out on. Add that to the list of potential topics. Okay,

574
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 1: I
