1
00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:38,350
Hi, this is George Carlin, and I thought
we might take a look at some of the
2
00:00:38,350 --> 00:00:41,430
pictures from the days when my show
business career was just starting.
3
00:00:41,870 --> 00:00:46,590
This is one of the earliest photos of my
days as an actor. Here I'm playing the
4
00:00:46,590 --> 00:00:50,990
part of a baby in an early production of
a play called Hold On to the Rail.
5
00:00:51,710 --> 00:00:56,170
As proof of the intensity I brought to
the role, lying nearby, you can see a
6
00:00:56,170 --> 00:00:58,010
doll that I had recently strangled.
7
00:00:58,460 --> 00:01:03,800
This is a candid photo of my first
manager and I having a business
8
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,020
the park where we knew we couldn't be
bugged.
9
00:01:06,260 --> 00:01:10,040
In this photo, I am trying out a new
funny face that I'd been working on for
10
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,040
about six months.
11
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,160
Now, here I am with two of my fellow
actors from the West Harlem production
12
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,720
either Ben -Hur or The Sound of Music.
13
00:01:18,980 --> 00:01:21,980
You can't really tell from what we're
wearing there because those are our
14
00:01:21,980 --> 00:01:22,980
clothes.
15
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,360
The person off to one side is our
personal manager who insisted on being
16
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,360
of our publicity photos.
17
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,260
This is a rare photo.
18
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,980
This is a photo of me in a singing group
called the Mills Brothers.
19
00:01:34,660 --> 00:01:38,780
We didn't know that there was already a
group in existence by that name. The
20
00:01:38,780 --> 00:01:42,260
Mills Brothers sued us, so we dropped
two guys and changed the name to Mickey
21
00:01:42,260 --> 00:01:43,260
and Sylvia.
22
00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:47,680
This is a picture of the time I came in
second in the suntan contest.
23
00:01:48,410 --> 00:01:53,010
The boy in the middle won, but later he
was disqualified when it was discovered
24
00:01:53,010 --> 00:01:54,230
he had been using pep pills.
25
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:57,650
This is the same photo with the negative
reversed.
26
00:01:58,070 --> 00:02:01,850
As you can see, the suntans are
approximately the same on the back.
27
00:02:02,410 --> 00:02:04,970
This is me during an early suicide
attempt.
28
00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:09,850
I was despondent at that time because my
puberty was coming along very slowly.
29
00:02:10,509 --> 00:02:15,170
This one was taken during the nationwide
search for a replacement for Lassie.
30
00:02:15,710 --> 00:02:20,190
I remember this picture. I'm trying to
get my dog Spotty, a fox terrier, to
31
00:02:20,190 --> 00:02:21,970
stand up straight and act like a collie.
32
00:02:22,730 --> 00:02:26,490
Although he didn't get the part, later
he did go on to become Morris the cat
33
00:02:26,490 --> 00:02:27,870
guard, rest his soul's manager.
34
00:02:28,670 --> 00:02:32,930
This is a picture of me and the boy who
doubled for me during my early film
35
00:02:32,930 --> 00:02:37,050
career. Normally I did all my own
stunts, except for the scenes involving
36
00:02:37,050 --> 00:02:38,550
homosexuality, of course.
37
00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:40,590
And this boy served that purpose.
38
00:02:41,310 --> 00:02:45,510
This is me singing in a trio I had
started, which was called The Ink Spots.
39
00:02:46,050 --> 00:02:50,730
Oddly enough, the NAACP sued the trio
and forced me to drop out when I
40
00:02:50,730 --> 00:02:52,770
prove there was such a thing as flesh
-colored ink.
41
00:02:53,530 --> 00:02:56,250
This is my first communion picture.
42
00:02:57,150 --> 00:03:00,430
It was so well -received that I decided
to use it for publicity, and to this
43
00:03:00,430 --> 00:03:04,450
day, this is the picture that I send out
when producers call and ask me if I'm
44
00:03:04,450 --> 00:03:05,650
interested in serious acting.
45
00:03:06,770 --> 00:03:10,570
And that brings me to today here in
Phoenix, Arizona, where we're going to
46
00:03:10,570 --> 00:03:13,290
one of these comedy shows for the first
time in the round.
47
00:03:13,730 --> 00:03:16,050
So I'll see you. All right, now I'm
starting to feel it, Marty.
48
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:18,490
Let's go, Marty. All right.
49
00:03:20,950 --> 00:03:22,990
No, I want to do it like, this is what
guys will run to.
50
00:03:23,610 --> 00:03:26,610
Sprinters do this, guys, 60 -odd deaths.
I always wonder if they're going to run
51
00:03:26,610 --> 00:03:27,610
on their fingers or what.
52
00:03:28,990 --> 00:03:29,990
Okay,
53
00:03:31,150 --> 00:03:32,830
get ready to go. Hey, how are you there?
54
00:03:33,070 --> 00:03:34,550
I'll lean him up. Hey, that's okay.
55
00:03:51,450 --> 00:03:55,090
All right. We're going to hire you
because I'm a good judge of paragraph.
56
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:15,640
I can go out on stage?
57
00:04:51,850 --> 00:04:53,330
We all got here.
58
00:04:54,910 --> 00:04:57,910
That's what always knocks me out about
the audience. The audience comes from
59
00:04:57,910 --> 00:04:58,910
everywhere.
60
00:04:59,110 --> 00:05:02,970
Audiences come from all different
houses, different apartments all over
61
00:05:03,190 --> 00:05:04,590
different rooms.
62
00:05:06,590 --> 00:05:07,590
Imagine that.
63
00:05:08,030 --> 00:05:14,650
You had to leave your room and come on
to the theater.
64
00:05:15,410 --> 00:05:18,010
Maybe I had to drive here. That's how a
lot of us got here.
65
00:05:18,270 --> 00:05:20,870
We had to get in and drive the big iron
thing.
66
00:05:23,260 --> 00:05:26,980
Trying real hard not to hit anyone else
in the other big iron thing.
67
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:30,800
But we got here.
68
00:05:31,660 --> 00:05:34,500
Now all we have to do is get back again.
69
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:41,340
I do think about the audience, though.
I'm in the audience, too. You know, I
70
00:05:41,340 --> 00:05:43,660
mean, I feel like I'm in the audience. I
just happen to have the best seat in
71
00:05:43,660 --> 00:05:44,660
the house. That's all.
72
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,060
I am in the audience. I know the things
you think of. I think of them, too. When
73
00:05:49,060 --> 00:05:52,340
I'm driving to the theater, going to be
in the audience, I'm thinking to myself,
74
00:05:52,830 --> 00:05:56,130
What kind of a member of the audience
will I be tonight?
75
00:05:57,470 --> 00:05:59,530
Will I be a credit to my row?
76
00:06:01,650 --> 00:06:03,870
Will we win row of the year?
77
00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:08,910
Suppose we get some shit from another
section.
78
00:06:13,530 --> 00:06:16,830
If there's a fire drill, will I file out
safely?
79
00:06:17,930 --> 00:06:20,310
Or trample the shit out of my neighbor?
80
00:06:21,740 --> 00:06:24,200
Pardon me. Fire. Look out. Fire. Pardon
me. Fire.
81
00:06:24,420 --> 00:06:26,060
Fire. Look out. Pardon me. Fire.
82
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:33,380
We never practice that one, do we?
83
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,460
Panicking. We never practice panicking.
We practice going out neatly. Pardon me.
84
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:38,880
Fire. Look out. Pardon me. Fire.
85
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,620
Fire. Yes. Pardon me. Fire.
86
00:06:42,740 --> 00:06:45,080
We never do that. I don't know why we
practice so much.
87
00:06:45,940 --> 00:06:49,220
If we could learn to climb over one
another, we might save a few lives.
88
00:06:52,460 --> 00:06:54,720
I wonder. I wonder a lot of things.
89
00:06:55,500 --> 00:06:57,820
I wonder what it's like when I'm not
there.
90
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,820
Do you wonder what it's like when you're
not there anymore?
91
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,040
When you're gone?
92
00:07:04,420 --> 00:07:05,540
You know, you were somewhere.
93
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,360
You were over here with your friends and
you're talking some shit with them.
94
00:07:09,980 --> 00:07:11,540
I said, we'll see you later, Phil. We're
going downtown.
95
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,240
And then you leave.
96
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,380
Do you wonder what it's like over there
now?
97
00:07:18,740 --> 00:07:21,000
I wonder, are they going to treat me
right while I'm gone?
98
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:23,479
What's it like?
99
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,500
I wonder a lot of things, but that's my
job.
100
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,320
My job is thinking up goofy shit.
101
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,060
You know, that's my job.
102
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,280
Thinking up goofy shit.
103
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,740
My job is to think up stuff and come
around and remind you of it.
104
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,360
Because you already knew it. You just
forgot to laugh at it. That's all.
105
00:07:46,980 --> 00:07:52,190
My job to remind you. I wonder about
things like... I wonder if on a rainy
106
00:07:52,190 --> 00:07:55,190
the sandman sends the mudman.
107
00:07:57,290 --> 00:07:58,890
You'd think it would be his job.
108
00:08:00,190 --> 00:08:03,330
I wonder why we don't have any large
craft warnings.
109
00:08:06,330 --> 00:08:08,530
Apparently we don't care about the big
boats, huh?
110
00:08:09,670 --> 00:08:13,570
I wonder why Marineland doesn't have a
display of fish sticks.
111
00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:18,730
I mean, it's a seafood. I'd like to see
it.
112
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,760
In fact, I'd like to see Mrs. Paul
herself come swimming by.
113
00:08:25,780 --> 00:08:26,780
Hi, boys!
114
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,200
I wonder if a centipede wants to kick
another centipede in the shins.
115
00:08:34,260 --> 00:08:37,760
Does he kick one leg at a time, or does
he stand on 50 and kick with 50?
116
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,820
I wonder why there are no waiters in
waiting rooms.
117
00:08:47,980 --> 00:08:49,160
They're all in the restaurant.
118
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,960
I wonder why women wear evening gowns to
nightclubs.
119
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:56,920
Why don't they wear nightgowns?
120
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:08,720
And I wonder why fluorescent lights seem
121
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,000
afraid to come on.
122
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,060
Have you ever noticed you turn them on
and they go...
123
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,680
Finally, they'll come on after you coax
them a little.
124
00:09:20,780 --> 00:09:24,240
I wonder why Kleenex doesn't have a
target in the middle of it.
125
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,500
Don't you think we need a bullseye right
in the middle of the Kleenex?
126
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,520
I wonder about hats.
127
00:09:33,260 --> 00:09:38,240
Did you ever notice that when you have a
hat on for a long time, it feels like
128
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,240
it's not there?
129
00:09:40,020 --> 00:09:43,480
And then when you take it off, it feels
like it's still there.
130
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,360
That's creepy.
131
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,340
I wonder about frog's legs.
132
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:58,380
In those restaurants where they serve
frog's legs, what do they do with the
133
00:09:58,380 --> 00:09:59,380
of the frog?
134
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:04,240
What, do they just throw it away?
135
00:10:04,940 --> 00:10:08,300
I mean, they don't have frog torsos on
the menu.
136
00:10:09,180 --> 00:10:12,400
They must be doing something with them.
They throw them away.
137
00:10:12,940 --> 00:10:16,580
Can you imagine a barrel full of frog
bodies in the restaurant?
138
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,780
There's some junk coming down the alley.
139
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,000
Oh, God damn.
140
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,460
I wouldn't want to see that.
141
00:10:30,580 --> 00:10:34,340
I wonder about who empties wishing
wells.
142
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,520
Who the hell empties the wishing wells?
143
00:10:39,020 --> 00:10:40,080
That's our money.
144
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,900
I've never seen an accounting.
145
00:10:43,660 --> 00:10:46,000
Did anybody ever tell you? No, gone.
146
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,300
Someone picked it up.
147
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:50,860
Someone emptied the well.
148
00:10:51,140 --> 00:10:54,380
I'm sure they don't come around at three
in the afternoon on Sunday with a
149
00:10:54,380 --> 00:10:56,680
little girl in her first communion dress
dropping a dime.
150
00:10:57,380 --> 00:11:00,560
Three in the morning, black T -shirts
empty the wishing well.
151
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,900
It's our money and I want some of it
back.
152
00:11:05,460 --> 00:11:10,360
I wonder if movie directors have credits
on their dreams.
153
00:11:18,380 --> 00:11:20,220
And I wonder why there's no blue food.
154
00:11:24,460 --> 00:11:25,940
Where the hell is the blue food?
155
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,800
Every other food is represented. I mean,
every other color.
156
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,140
Every other color is represented. I
mean, every color.
157
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,640
Okay.
158
00:11:36,380 --> 00:11:38,180
Red is raspberry, cherry, and
strawberry.
159
00:11:38,580 --> 00:11:39,580
Orange is orange.
160
00:11:39,620 --> 00:11:40,620
Yellow is lemon.
161
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:41,720
Green is lime.
162
00:11:41,820 --> 00:11:42,820
Brown is meat.
163
00:11:44,780 --> 00:11:45,960
There's no blue food.
164
00:11:47,340 --> 00:11:49,460
Why the hell was blue left out of the
food thing?
165
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,360
Somebody's got the blue food, God damn
it.
166
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,520
Somebody's got it.
167
00:11:58,740 --> 00:12:01,140
It probably bestows immortality.
168
00:12:02,220 --> 00:12:03,660
That's why we haven't been given any.
169
00:12:04,860 --> 00:12:07,080
And don't say blueberries, for you know
they're purple.
170
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,200
You look at a blueberry and you see that
sucker's purple.
171
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,179
Blue cheese?
172
00:12:13,180 --> 00:12:16,830
No. Blue cheese is just white cheese
with a bunch of mold in it.
173
00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:23,470
And bluefish, God knows, you open one
up, they're every color under the sun.
174
00:12:24,290 --> 00:12:25,350
Well, enough of that shit.
175
00:12:26,850 --> 00:12:33,190
I wonder, I wonder which came first,
skilled workers or unskilled?
176
00:12:34,570 --> 00:12:35,630
And who decided?
177
00:12:37,250 --> 00:12:39,990
I figure originally all we had was
workers.
178
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,000
And then they decided, this is hard.
179
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,440
And they called themselves skilled.
180
00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:54,000
And someone else came along that
couldn't do it.
181
00:12:55,460 --> 00:12:57,240
Poor unskilled son of a bitch.
182
00:12:58,820 --> 00:13:02,540
They moved right past his ass, man, when
he was just in the landing area.
183
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,440
Do you think maybe Charlie McCarthy has
little wooden balls? I've always
184
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,440
wondered.
185
00:13:16,940 --> 00:13:19,820
You know what I wonder about? I wonder
why we buy flowers.
186
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,460
Why do we buy flowers?
187
00:13:21,940 --> 00:13:22,940
They're free.
188
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,900
They grow all over.
189
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:29,480
Yet we buy them. We pay good money for
flowers.
190
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,340
Flowers that are dying, I might add.
191
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:34,700
That's a little strange.
192
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,780
Flowers is one of the few things that
you buy, you bring it to your house, and
193
00:13:38,780 --> 00:13:40,200
if they die, you don't give a shit.
194
00:13:41,460 --> 00:13:44,620
Normally, you'd be asking for your money
back on anything like that. Are you
195
00:13:44,620 --> 00:13:46,740
kidding me? These things keeled over on
the piano.
196
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,320
Flowers.
197
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,240
I wonder why I've never seen anyone
cleaning a church.
198
00:13:56,380 --> 00:14:01,760
Have you? I've never seen someone
cleaning a church.
199
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,620
A lot of things go on in church. You
never see a cleaning crew going in there
200
00:14:05,620 --> 00:14:07,020
with pails and mops and shit.
201
00:14:07,420 --> 00:14:10,400
It just never happens. Why don't they
clean churches?
202
00:14:11,230 --> 00:14:12,189
You know why?
203
00:14:12,190 --> 00:14:14,770
Churches don't need to be cleaned. They
clean themselves overnight.
204
00:14:16,750 --> 00:14:18,110
That's how they know they're churches.
205
00:14:19,730 --> 00:14:22,370
Come back the next morning. Shit, it's
still clean. Must be a church.
206
00:14:26,770 --> 00:14:28,250
Does the time bother you?
207
00:14:29,510 --> 00:14:31,010
I get bothered by the time.
208
00:14:31,210 --> 00:14:36,410
Not so much the time itself. The people
bother me for the time.
209
00:14:36,810 --> 00:14:39,390
People come up to me on the street. I'm
sure you've had this happen to you.
210
00:14:40,260 --> 00:14:41,900
People come up to you and say, what time
it is?
211
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,020
Well, they might say, what time is it?
212
00:14:46,820 --> 00:14:50,100
I shouldn't get into these ballads.
213
00:14:51,660 --> 00:14:55,080
You've had people come up to you and
say, what time is it? What time is it?
214
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:58,840
As if you personally were responsible
for keeping time.
215
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,760
You know, I feel honored, first of all,
that they thought I was the man in
216
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:04,760
charge.
217
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,580
But I do have to explain, you don't see
official timekeeper on here, do you?
218
00:15:09,050 --> 00:15:11,750
I don't have the time, of course not. Do
you have the time? That's another way
219
00:15:11,750 --> 00:15:13,190
they say it. Do you have the time?
220
00:15:14,830 --> 00:15:15,910
I say, uh, no.
221
00:15:17,450 --> 00:15:18,730
I don't believe I do.
222
00:15:19,530 --> 00:15:21,210
I certainly didn't have it this morning.
223
00:15:22,330 --> 00:15:23,370
Did you leave it somewhere?
224
00:15:24,610 --> 00:15:27,610
Well, do you have the time? No, I don't
have the time.
225
00:15:28,130 --> 00:15:30,230
I use a little of it, like everyone, you
know.
226
00:15:30,790 --> 00:15:31,830
But I don't have it.
227
00:15:32,230 --> 00:15:34,690
I think, I think the Navy has it.
228
00:15:35,650 --> 00:15:38,430
In Washington, isn't that, they keep it
in an observatory, that's right.
229
00:15:38,940 --> 00:15:40,640
Sure, they let out a little of it each
day.
230
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,600
Not too much. They wouldn't want to give
us too much.
231
00:15:44,540 --> 00:15:46,460
Just enough time.
232
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,980
Sometimes they'll say, do you know what
time it is?
233
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,080
And I say, yes.
234
00:15:57,620 --> 00:16:00,760
I hate to disappoint them, but there is
no time.
235
00:16:01,770 --> 00:16:04,690
There's no time. I don't mean there's no
time. I mean there's no time.
236
00:16:05,350 --> 00:16:08,070
When the hell is it? We made that whole
thing up.
237
00:16:08,290 --> 00:16:09,290
There's no time.
238
00:16:09,510 --> 00:16:10,510
We made it up.
239
00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:13,090
It's a man -made invention time.
240
00:16:14,950 --> 00:16:16,390
There are no numbers up in the sky.
241
00:16:17,330 --> 00:16:18,610
I've looked. They're not there.
242
00:16:20,290 --> 00:16:22,090
We made this stuff up. When is it?
243
00:16:22,570 --> 00:16:24,910
When the hell is it? When are we, I ask
you?
244
00:16:25,330 --> 00:16:29,730
When are we? Sometimes we think we know
where we are, but we don't really know
245
00:16:29,730 --> 00:16:30,730
when we are.
246
00:16:31,260 --> 00:16:32,460
When the hell is it?
247
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,620
All the time zones are different.
248
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,900
Every calendar you run across is
different. They'll all give you a
249
00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:42,120
answer. These are calendars. These are
made to keep track of time.
250
00:16:43,460 --> 00:16:45,540
Everybody's got a different one. Chinese
are way up there in the five and six
251
00:16:45,540 --> 00:16:47,860
thousands. Hebrew calendars way up in
the five and six thousands. We're over
252
00:16:47,860 --> 00:16:51,280
about 1970 -something shit. This ain't a
couple of weeks these people are off.
253
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,060
This is thousands of goddamn years that
are missing, man.
254
00:16:54,420 --> 00:16:55,500
How did they do that?
255
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,180
hell it is. It could be the middle of
last month for all we know.
256
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:09,980
I mean, time is so, we've got it down so
perfect that every four years we have
257
00:17:09,980 --> 00:17:14,060
to stick in an extra day just to make
sure it still works.
258
00:17:14,859 --> 00:17:17,240
We call it February 29th.
259
00:17:17,980 --> 00:17:19,980
Bullshit, it's March 1st and I know it.
260
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:24,680
It just feels like March 1st.
261
00:17:25,460 --> 00:17:27,780
You can't keep track of the time. What's
the sense?
262
00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:29,180
Give you an example.
263
00:17:29,340 --> 00:17:30,420
There's a moment coming.
264
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:32,100
It's not here yet.
265
00:17:32,580 --> 00:17:34,060
It's still on the way. It's in the
future.
266
00:17:34,380 --> 00:17:35,380
It hasn't arrived.
267
00:17:35,540 --> 00:17:38,680
Here it comes. Here it is. Oh, shit,
it's gone.
268
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,480
There's no now.
269
00:17:43,860 --> 00:17:45,060
There's no now.
270
00:17:45,740 --> 00:17:48,240
Everything is the near future or the
recent past.
271
00:17:48,780 --> 00:17:51,060
But there's no present. Welcome to the
present.
272
00:17:53,340 --> 00:17:54,340
Gone again.
273
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,940
It's just so imprecise.
274
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,220
We don't even care to use the minutes
and seconds and hours that we've been
275
00:18:03,220 --> 00:18:06,660
given. Everybody's very vague about the
time. They say, what time you got?
276
00:18:07,340 --> 00:18:10,380
I got, uh, I got just after.
277
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:13,700
Just after?
278
00:18:14,860 --> 00:18:17,060
Jeez, I must be slow. I had going on.
279
00:18:21,540 --> 00:18:25,560
And where did that imprecision begin?
Why is it we're not so sure? I know one
280
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,240
the clues that happened to me was when
they started telling me about moments.
281
00:18:28,860 --> 00:18:32,000
When I was a kid, they were trying to
teach me how to tell time. And, of
282
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,580
you can't tell time. Time tells you. But
they were trying.
283
00:18:34,820 --> 00:18:37,700
They were trying to show me. On the big
hand, I said, I don't have a big hand.
284
00:18:37,740 --> 00:18:38,740
Never mind.
285
00:18:38,820 --> 00:18:41,400
Look at the clock. And the clock is so
wonderful. There's so much emotion
286
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,780
attached to a clock face.
287
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:44,620
I hate digital clocks.
288
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,400
Digital clocks rob me of all the
emotional experience of the spatial
289
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,820
relationships on that face of the clock.
290
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:55,470
Isn't it true? I mean, don't you always
feel that... This half hour, when it
291
00:18:55,470 --> 00:19:01,030
comes down from 12 down to 6, goes by a
lot quicker than this half hour when it
292
00:19:01,030 --> 00:19:03,370
has to come up fighting gravity all the
way.
293
00:19:03,570 --> 00:19:05,650
I know. It does go a lot quicker.
294
00:19:06,190 --> 00:19:08,030
God. Oh, I got this.
295
00:19:08,570 --> 00:19:09,570
Yeah.
296
00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:11,390
I'll tell you.
297
00:19:12,710 --> 00:19:15,570
I'll tell you this. If I only have a
half hour to live, I want it to be this
298
00:19:15,570 --> 00:19:16,369
one, man.
299
00:19:16,370 --> 00:19:18,990
It's going to last just a little bit
longer than that one there.
300
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,240
It's vague. That's all I'm saying. It's
very vague how we treat time. We have
301
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,920
all these wonderful expressions. We say
now.
302
00:19:25,380 --> 00:19:28,300
Now is an interesting one. When? Now.
You want that now?
303
00:19:28,660 --> 00:19:30,800
Yes. Well, would you like to try again?
304
00:19:33,660 --> 00:19:35,160
Well, sometimes just now.
305
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,700
Just now. Did you hear that? What?
306
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:39,560
Just now.
307
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,140
You must mean just then, couldn't you?
308
00:19:44,820 --> 00:19:47,320
Yes, just then. But there it goes again.
When? Now. No, not now.
309
00:19:49,020 --> 00:19:52,160
Pardon me, do you have the time? When do
you mean, now or when you ask me?
310
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:54,340
This shit is moving, Ruth.
311
00:19:58,100 --> 00:19:59,820
We had a lot of these vague terms.
312
00:20:01,060 --> 00:20:06,220
Right away, immediately, at once,
lickety -split, just like that, nothing
313
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:08,360
drop of a hat, no time at all.
314
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,600
As quick as you can say, Jack Robinson.
315
00:20:11,220 --> 00:20:12,460
I'm sure you've done that to people.
316
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,660
I'll be back before you can say, Jack
Robinson. Jack Robinson, hi, you're not
317
00:20:15,660 --> 00:20:16,660
back.
318
00:20:19,530 --> 00:20:21,790
How about a jiffy? A jiffy!
319
00:20:22,430 --> 00:20:23,430
Or a flash?
320
00:20:24,030 --> 00:20:25,030
Which is quicker?
321
00:20:26,410 --> 00:20:27,670
A jiffy or a flash?
322
00:20:28,770 --> 00:20:31,230
I think there are two flashes in a
jiffy, my son.
323
00:20:32,310 --> 00:20:36,150
But God knows how many jiffies there are
in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
324
00:20:38,910 --> 00:20:42,550
And why did they use two shakes of a
lamb's tail? What's wrong with the basic
325
00:20:42,550 --> 00:20:43,550
unit of measurement?
326
00:20:43,670 --> 00:20:47,990
One shake of a lamb's tail. We can do
our own arithmetic, thank you.
327
00:20:49,490 --> 00:20:50,490
Belched a little there.
328
00:20:52,150 --> 00:20:53,390
Tried to swallow that one.
329
00:20:54,490 --> 00:20:56,110
Then we have words like soon.
330
00:20:57,750 --> 00:21:03,270
Soon. That's a very emotional word.
There's a lot of potential for drama in
331
00:21:03,270 --> 00:21:04,270
word soon.
332
00:21:05,710 --> 00:21:06,710
Soon.
333
00:21:07,630 --> 00:21:10,910
Soon. Is your mother coming home?
334
00:21:12,730 --> 00:21:13,730
Uh -huh.
335
00:21:15,470 --> 00:21:16,470
When?
336
00:21:19,159 --> 00:21:20,159
Soon.
337
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:23,640
Real soon.
338
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,860
As soon as she can.
339
00:21:27,540 --> 00:21:28,540
Sooner than you think.
340
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:30,640
That's kind of a spooky one.
341
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,880
Sooner than I think.
342
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,340
That's a little bit like before you know
it.
343
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,940
I'll be back before you know it. He did
it. Holy Christ. Look at that.
344
00:21:56,010 --> 00:21:59,630
And we go on with these terms that we
use, these vague terms of time. One of
345
00:21:59,630 --> 00:22:00,630
these days.
346
00:22:01,730 --> 00:22:02,730
Before long.
347
00:22:03,550 --> 00:22:04,910
Any time now.
348
00:22:05,310 --> 00:22:06,310
Well, that's true.
349
00:22:07,530 --> 00:22:09,310
Everything's going to happen any time
now.
350
00:22:10,110 --> 00:22:13,490
Any day now. That's kind of a snotty
one. Any day now. Hey, I'll be giving
351
00:22:13,490 --> 00:22:14,970
that five bucks I owe you, Bill. Yeah.
352
00:22:15,550 --> 00:22:16,550
Any day now.
353
00:22:17,850 --> 00:22:18,850
Sooner or later.
354
00:22:18,890 --> 00:22:19,910
Now and then.
355
00:22:20,130 --> 00:22:22,610
Once in a while. From time to time.
356
00:22:23,510 --> 00:22:24,510
In a little while.
357
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:25,880
In a little while.
358
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,240
Well, it'll just be a little while.
359
00:22:28,540 --> 00:22:31,860
That's a wonderful one. I just love
that. It sounds so benign.
360
00:22:32,260 --> 00:22:33,540
Just a little while.
361
00:22:33,780 --> 00:22:36,380
Couldn't hurt you, could it? You can
wait a little while.
362
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,380
It'll only be a little while longer.
363
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,320
Just a little while.
364
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,020
That's so different from a short time.
365
00:22:45,900 --> 00:22:47,040
Short time.
366
00:22:48,060 --> 00:22:50,120
Sounds almost terminal, doesn't it?
367
00:22:50,900 --> 00:22:52,320
You only have...
368
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:54,960
A short time.
369
00:22:56,700 --> 00:22:59,180
Whereas you have a little while.
370
00:22:59,980 --> 00:23:02,280
Oh, I'd rather have a little while than
a short time.
371
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,360
Yeah, we got long ways we measure time.
We got vast distances of time we
372
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:10,180
measure. People will say things like,
kingdom come.
373
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:14,500
I'm going to be standing here till
kingdom come.
374
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,300
Shit, I don't have that on my watch.
375
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,580
Doomsday, you say?
376
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,040
Tuesday, till the cows come home.
377
00:23:27,060 --> 00:23:30,300
Well, that's an easy one to understand.
That's long about dusk, isn't it?
378
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,160
If you leave them out overnight, they
burst.
379
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,920
Here's a long period of time, forever.
380
00:23:38,580 --> 00:23:42,540
Some people will tell you, I've been
standing on this line forever.
381
00:23:43,940 --> 00:23:47,700
Look at this, Dave. This man has been
standing on line forever.
382
00:23:48,940 --> 00:23:50,880
He looks fairly fresh to me.
383
00:23:55,290 --> 00:23:59,310
Almost like an eternity, people will
tell you. It's almost like an eternity,
384
00:23:59,310 --> 00:24:02,150
if they had experience with eternities.
385
00:24:03,290 --> 00:24:06,710
Now, you must have a favorite period of
time. I have some favorites. I just want
386
00:24:06,710 --> 00:24:11,090
to try a few of them on you. It isn't
easy to select a favorite period of
387
00:24:11,130 --> 00:24:15,950
so many of them are attractive, but
there are little periods of time that
388
00:24:15,950 --> 00:24:17,750
might relate to.
389
00:24:19,050 --> 00:24:22,570
Of course, the most basic period of
time, I feel, is five minutes.
390
00:24:23,379 --> 00:24:25,060
That seems to be the one everyone
chooses.
391
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:28,760
If they need to think of a period of
time real quickly, they just go, five
392
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,040
minutes, just five minutes. I'll be
there in just five minutes. Give me five
393
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,920
minutes, would you please? Would you
just give me five minutes? Are you
394
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,260
me? I can fix that shit in five minutes.
395
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,160
Five minutes.
396
00:24:39,380 --> 00:24:42,820
That's all most people want, five
minutes. A good, solid, nice period of
397
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,380
You can do anything for five minutes,
can't you? I mean anything. Even things
398
00:24:46,380 --> 00:24:47,380
you really hate.
399
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,700
You can probably do it for five minutes.
400
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,300
Hey, let's go talk to Ted. Are you
kidding? Ted's an asshole.
401
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,700
Look, just five minutes.
402
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,600
Okay, let's give it.
403
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,400
Five minutes.
404
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:03,480
Not ten.
405
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,460
Ten I can't make. Now you're getting
into double digits, you're starting to
406
00:25:07,460 --> 00:25:08,460
with my head.
407
00:25:09,580 --> 00:25:10,580
Time.
408
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,420
Five, ten minutes.
409
00:25:13,420 --> 00:25:14,420
Fifteen minutes?
410
00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:19,560
It's popular. You hear 15 quite a bit,
but it's sort of an institutional one.
411
00:25:19,660 --> 00:25:22,320
It's kind of an official time period, 15
minutes.
412
00:25:22,540 --> 00:25:27,680
It has a touch of regulatory quality to
it, doesn't it? It sounds like something
413
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,380
you're not supposed to do or have to do
for 15 minutes.
414
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,100
15 minutes.
415
00:25:33,300 --> 00:25:40,180
I like 20 minutes. Doesn't that sound
free compared to 15?
416
00:25:40,980 --> 00:25:42,340
15 minutes.
417
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:44,560
20 minutes.
418
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,240
I'll be back in 20 minutes.
419
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,680
Gosh, what's he going to do?
420
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,480
Here's those news guys for me. Maybe
let's do a little news for the folks.
421
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,140
let's tell them what's going on around
the world.
422
00:25:59,380 --> 00:26:02,500
God knows you're not home to find out.
Thank you. Thank you, Walter.
423
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:04,120
Let's do it.
424
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,320
I just want to keep you up to date.
There's a few things that have happened
425
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,760
while we've been sitting here, and it's
not nice to ignore the rest of the
426
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,000
world. Let's take a look.
427
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,280
I'd like to take a look at the news.
First of all, the headlines.
428
00:26:14,820 --> 00:26:17,900
Three Shriners have been killed in a
whoopee cushion explosion.
429
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,080
21 killed in 21 -gun salute.
430
00:26:25,540 --> 00:26:26,900
Rapist swallows whistle.
431
00:26:32,980 --> 00:26:37,460
Oh, the head of the lost and found has
been reported missing.
432
00:26:38,890 --> 00:26:42,570
And a vegetarian has been beaten to
death by a meat packer.
433
00:26:49,250 --> 00:26:56,230
Have I been
434
00:26:56,230 --> 00:26:57,250
ignoring your section?
435
00:26:57,930 --> 00:26:59,010
I'm really sorry.
436
00:27:00,470 --> 00:27:05,030
Well, we'll be okay, though, because,
you know, I just can't think of
437
00:27:05,030 --> 00:27:06,030
everything.
438
00:27:06,990 --> 00:27:10,530
But I'm going to do about ten straight
stories just for these folks here. Back
439
00:27:10,530 --> 00:27:11,530
into the news.
440
00:27:12,710 --> 00:27:16,790
Police fired over the heads of rioters
today. However, they killed 200 people
441
00:27:16,790 --> 00:27:17,810
standing on a balcony.
442
00:27:21,870 --> 00:27:26,370
A 107 -year -old woman in Florida is
reported to be pregnant.
443
00:27:27,870 --> 00:27:31,550
Physicians claim that because of her
advanced age, she will have a grown -up.
444
00:27:37,690 --> 00:27:41,990
Scientists have discovered a new disease
which has no symptoms.
445
00:27:43,990 --> 00:27:47,150
It is impossible to detect and there's
no known cure.
446
00:27:48,150 --> 00:27:51,250
Fortunately, no cases have been reported
thus far.
447
00:27:54,510 --> 00:27:59,670
A man has barricaded himself inside of
his house. However, he is not armed and
448
00:27:59,670 --> 00:28:01,590
no one is paying any attention to him.
449
00:28:05,550 --> 00:28:10,570
The Surgeon General announced today that
saliva causes stomach cancer.
450
00:28:21,190 --> 00:28:27,150
However, only when swallowed in small
amounts over a long period of time.
451
00:28:29,210 --> 00:28:33,490
A woman was severely injured today when
she attempted to force breastfeed a
452
00:28:33,490 --> 00:28:34,490
wildcat.
453
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:48,200
And the results of the latest Gallup
poll have come in. It seems that 29 % of
454
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,260
the people were not home.
455
00:28:50,660 --> 00:28:54,160
14 % of the people may believe they
weren't home.
456
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,340
6 % of the people could not operate the
doorknob.
457
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:05,520
And 3 % were wearing underwear and had
to stand sideways.
458
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,920
The Bureau of Indian Affairs announced
today that they have found another
459
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:17,920
Mohican.
460
00:29:28,420 --> 00:29:32,900
Accordingly, all the books are being
called back in and will be changed to
461
00:29:32,900 --> 00:29:34,840
the next to the last of the Mohicans.
462

glasses and holding a quaalude.
463
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,920
The high -speed chase ended today when
the cars stopped and the people got out.
464
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,640
A dog exploded on a busy downtown street
corner.
465
00:30:05,940 --> 00:30:09,920
Today, no one was killed. However, 12
people were overcome by fur.
466
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:17,940
Police estimate that 50 to 60 fleas also
lost their lives in the blast.
467

Scientists in Switzerland announced
today that they have been able to make
468
00:30:23,170 --> 00:30:26,390
fart by holding them upside down and

469
00:30:51,340 --> 00:30:54,560
for attempting to use food stamps to
mail a box of macaroni.
470
00:31:03,980 --> 00:31:06,860
Earthquake. An earthquake has hit the
maternity home.
471
00:31:08,980 --> 00:31:11,680
There's no such place as a maternity
home.
472
00:31:15,220 --> 00:31:18,640
An earthquake has struck the maternity
hospital. Three people were killed.
473
00:31:18,740 --> 00:31:20,000
However, six people were born.
474
00:31:26,410 --> 00:31:30,810
A priest who has performed 300 exorcisms
was eaten today by a green boogeyman.

police arrested a one -armed man who was
476
00:31:43,170 --> 00:31:46,250
bothering the other boaters by
continuously rowing in a circle.
477
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:05,520

wife.

A heavily armed man in Seattle has taken
six hostages. He's demanding $3 million
483
00:32:38,450 --> 00:32:41,650
and someone to share driving and
expenses to St. Louis.
484
00:32:47,250 --> 00:32:50,350
Police today announced they have broken
up an amphetamine ring.

Narcotics detectives broke in and
arrested six out of ten of the speed
486
00:32:54,690 --> 00:32:58,530
they had under suspicion. The other four
got away by running completely across
487
00:32:58,530 --> 00:32:59,530
Canada.
488
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:20,320
in the chest nine times yesterday and
refused treatment, died today
489
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,640
of nine shots in the chest.

A man in Cincinnati is suing a hospital
claiming he entered the hospital for a

vasectomy and was castrated instead.
492
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:41,240
When the chief surgeon was asked how
such a mistake might happen, he said,
493
00:33:41,340 --> 00:33:43,080
it all started out as a joke.
494
00:33:46,510 --> 00:33:49,970
We were pretending we were going to
castrate him, and he got real snotty, so
495
00:33:49,970 --> 00:33:50,970
offed his balls.
496
00:33:55,370 --> 00:34:02,270
The man himself was philosophical about
497
00:34:02,270 --> 00:34:04,670
it. He said, well, it's just that much
less to wash.
498
00:34:13,449 --> 00:34:17,670
Tragedy struck the parade today as an
open manhole claimed the lives of 1 ,200
499
00:34:17,670 --> 00:34:19,130
marchers one at a time.
500
00:34:22,449 --> 00:34:27,909
A man who shot and killed all 12 members
of a jury which convicted him last year
501
00:34:27,909 --> 00:34:30,350
goes on trial again today.
502
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:40,159
A set of Siamese twins, which was
surgically separated six months ago, was
503
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:44,340
back together again today because each
of them only knows one half of the
504
00:34:44,340 --> 00:34:45,600
combination to their locker.
505
00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:52,420
A man who has... A man who was... This
is kind of one where you're going to
506
00:34:52,420 --> 00:34:53,500
moan, but I'm going to do it anyway.
507
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,280
Okay, good.
508
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,860
A little pre -moaning, that's nice. That
ain't a moan.
509
00:35:01,180 --> 00:35:02,720
Vizine, do they look that red?
510
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,840
really... Well, anyway, will you hold
them both for me? Now you're under
511
00:35:43,420 --> 00:35:47,060
And here comes the wising, as we say in
the Middle East part of Europe.
512
00:35:47,900 --> 00:35:50,680
Well, there ain't much of this left, but
there is one final story that I would
513
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,680
like to wind up with, folks. And I do
thank you for that advising, but I
514
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,500
smoke at halftime, so if they're right,
it's just natural eyeball blood
515
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:57,500
pressure.
516
00:35:58,500 --> 00:35:59,820
Or whatever you call it, Chip.
517
00:36:01,820 --> 00:36:04,860
I was... The one you were going to moan
about, I was going to tell about a man
518
00:36:04,860 --> 00:36:07,120
who was scheduled for a heart transplant
who...
519
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,800
I decided not to have it. He had a
change of heart, you know.
520
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,700
I love that shit.
521
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,040
That's why I know why you're moaning,
because you wish you had thought of the
522
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,040
goddamn thing yourself.
523
00:36:20,700 --> 00:36:22,060
I have to think that.
524
00:36:22,540 --> 00:36:25,620
I'd like to wind up the news tonight
with sort of a little story, kind of a
525
00:36:25,620 --> 00:36:28,400
human interest story about man's best
friend.
526
00:36:29,150 --> 00:36:34,070
It seems that 65 -year -old James
Driscoll was asleep in his downtown
527
00:36:34,070 --> 00:36:38,130
last Wednesday when he was awakened by
the sound of a dog barking.
528
00:36:38,630 --> 00:36:43,490
When he woke, he found the room was full
of smoke he could not see, and the dog
529
00:36:43,490 --> 00:36:47,430
led him out of the room, down the hall,
and into an elevator shaft where he
530
00:36:47,430 --> 00:36:48,730
plunged eight stories deep.
531
00:37:01,100 --> 00:37:05,160
nostalgic thing here for my own sake and
for the request of a couple of people
532
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,380
that are on the crew that listen or look
and through viewers or listening on
533
00:37:08,380 --> 00:37:12,880
headsets or whatever and do a little
weather forecast from Al Sleet.
534
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:16,680
Hey,
535
00:37:21,820 --> 00:37:23,800
baby, what's happening?
536
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,140
Que pasa?
537
00:37:27,540 --> 00:37:30,040
Que what you call your pasa?
538
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:37,120
hippy -dippy weatherman with all the
hippy -dippy weather, man.
539
00:37:37,820 --> 00:37:40,900
Brought to you by Parsons Pest Control.
540
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,980
Do you have termites, water bugs, and
roaches?
541
00:37:46,660 --> 00:37:51,360
Well, Parsons will help you get rid of
the termites and water bugs and help you
542
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,360
smoke the roaches.
543
00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:59,580
Temperature at the airport is 88
degrees.
544
00:38:00,510 --> 00:38:03,970
Which is stupid, man, because I don't
know anybody who lives at the airport.
545
00:38:06,970 --> 00:38:12,650
Now, if you'll take a look at our
national weather map, you'll see that we
546
00:38:12,650 --> 00:38:13,650
have one.
547
00:38:14,690 --> 00:38:19,890
So try to picture last night's map in
your mind.
548
00:38:21,250 --> 00:38:25,230
Remember all the letters and lines, all
them little numbers.
549
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:32,520
The weather is dominated by a large
Canadian low, which is not to be
550
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:33,840
with a Mexican high.
551
00:38:37,020 --> 00:38:38,020
Tonight's forecast?
552
00:38:39,460 --> 00:38:40,460
Dark.
553
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:47,640
Continued dark tonight, turning to
partly light in the morning.
554
00:38:49,540 --> 00:38:54,940
Oh, Al got out of the weather business,
and he's now a linoleum.
555
00:38:57,019 --> 00:38:59,240
quality control inspector in a linoleum
plant.
556
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,120
Al, he only wanted to get out of the
media. You know, he said, fuck it, I
557
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,720
need it. And, hey, who can blame him? I
don't know, but Al got out of weather
558
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:10,020
when he realized he had given the final
weather forecast. He had given the
559
00:39:10,020 --> 00:39:12,640
ultimate forecast. There was nowhere to
go. You know, when there's nothing left
560
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,680
to conquer in your field, hey, it's time
to leave.
561
00:39:14,940 --> 00:39:21,200
And old Al had given the ultimate
forecast. He told us, he said, one night
562
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:22,200
the weather
563
00:39:22,700 --> 00:39:26,780
will continue to change on and off for a
long, long time.
564
00:39:28,900 --> 00:39:31,100
And he was gone, Philip. God bless that.
565
00:39:32,300 --> 00:39:33,300
Okay.
566
00:39:39,900 --> 00:39:40,900
Yes, you are.
567
00:39:42,380 --> 00:39:43,620
You're all going to die.
568
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,200
Didn't mean to remind you of it, but it
is on your schedule.
569
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:52,080
Yes.
570
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,040
Probably won't happen when you want.
571
00:39:55,820 --> 00:39:59,160
Usually comes along when you're not
expecting. Generally, you have your
572
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:00,200
collection out, you know.
573
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:03,260
Now? Now.
574
00:40:04,780 --> 00:40:07,540
Just want a little time to put away your
hinges, you know.
575
00:40:09,380 --> 00:40:14,740
Now, there's a time to die, and it's
okay, you know. It's really okay.
576
00:40:15,060 --> 00:40:16,340
Nobody wants to die.
577
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,580
Nobody. Well, you know, most people.
578
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:23,420
Don't want to die.
579
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,300
Nobody wants to die.
580
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:32,860
Boy, if you think being sick is no fun,
dying is really a pain in the ass.
581
00:40:34,540 --> 00:40:37,360
Nobody wants to die. People don't mind
being dead.
582
00:40:38,060 --> 00:40:39,340
Being dead is great.
583
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:41,640
But getting dead.
584
00:40:44,100 --> 00:40:45,740
Nobody wants to get dead.
585
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:48,860
I hope I don't die.
586
00:40:49,690 --> 00:40:53,310
I wonder how often we think that, you
know? It's just under the surface, isn't
587
00:40:53,310 --> 00:40:55,690
it? You go out for the day, going out of
your house.
588
00:40:56,310 --> 00:40:57,490
I hope I don't die.
589
00:40:58,530 --> 00:41:02,510
It would really spoil the circus if I
were to die.
590
00:41:02,770 --> 00:41:03,930
Geez, I hope I don't die.
591
00:41:04,810 --> 00:41:06,090
Comedians don't want to die.
592
00:41:06,950 --> 00:41:11,050
It's only a metaphor, but it's so true
of all of us. We don't want to die out
593
00:41:11,050 --> 00:41:15,870
there. The comics want to die. I don't
want to die. Geez, I was dying out
594
00:41:16,710 --> 00:41:18,050
I was dying.
595
00:41:19,180 --> 00:41:20,700
It was death out there.
596
00:41:21,420 --> 00:41:23,180
It was like a morgue.
597
00:41:24,300 --> 00:41:25,620
I don't want to die.
598
00:41:26,540 --> 00:41:32,480
Of course, if the comedian doesn't die,
you know, if he succeeds, if he makes
599
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:37,160
you laugh, then he can say, I killed
him.
600
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,760
I killed him.
601
00:41:44,500 --> 00:41:46,660
So it's either me or you, you know.
602
00:41:47,980 --> 00:41:49,440
Just like on the freeway.
603
00:41:51,340 --> 00:41:55,680
Yeah, dying shouldn't be that bad. It
shouldn't be that bad. We're all going
604
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,760
do it. It's one of the few fair things
in life. Everybody catches it once.
605
00:42:00,180 --> 00:42:03,340
And dying should be fun. There should be
some sort of a look ahead.
606
00:42:03,620 --> 00:42:06,060
I mean, after all, when you die, you're
going to find out where you go.
607
00:42:07,260 --> 00:42:10,380
Haven't we been wondering about that a
long time? Where the hell do we go?
608
00:42:10,380 --> 00:42:13,200
that the biggest thing we have to wonder
about? Where the hell do you go? I
609
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:13,779
don't know.
610
00:42:13,780 --> 00:42:16,880
Joe thinks he knows. I know Joe thinks
he knows, but Joe don't know.
611
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:18,520
Where do we go?
612
00:42:19,340 --> 00:42:20,340
Nobody know.
613
00:42:21,500 --> 00:42:24,800
Well, I think sometimes you go where you
think you're going to go.
614
00:42:25,020 --> 00:42:27,760
Whatever you think you're going to do,
that's where you're probably going to
615
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,640
If you keep saying you're going to go
somewhere, chances are you might go
616
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,160
You ever hear those guys say, I'm going
to hell, don't pray for me.
617
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,220
Don't pray for me, I'm going to hell.
618
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,040
He is.
619
00:42:42,410 --> 00:42:46,610
You go where you want to go. I think
when you die, your soul goes to a garage
620
00:42:46,610 --> 00:42:47,610
Buffalo.
621
00:42:49,290 --> 00:42:52,490
When Monty Hall dies, he'll go behind
door number four.
622
00:42:54,110 --> 00:42:55,550
That's it. Where you want to go.
623
00:42:59,470 --> 00:43:02,930
No, nobody wants to die. And you know,
part of the reason we don't want to die
624
00:43:02,930 --> 00:43:04,250
is because of that goddamn funeral.
625
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:10,620
We've seen it. We know how bad news it
is. That funeral is no fun.
626
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,660
Man, if I don't like other people's
funerals, I know I'm not going to like
627
00:43:14,660 --> 00:43:15,660
own.
628
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,160
There's no way I can get behind my own
funeral.
629
00:43:18,460 --> 00:43:21,960
Going to be lying there in a casket?
They're going to put me in the box?
630
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,980
Going to put me in a convertible with a
top down?
631
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,160
You know that's embarrassing, lying
there.
632
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:30,780
And everybody's looking at you?
633
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:32,480
You're dead.
634
00:43:33,500 --> 00:43:34,500
And they're looking.
635
00:43:38,220 --> 00:43:40,580
You're just lying there still. People
coming over going...
636
00:43:40,580 --> 00:43:47,340
They don't know that you're lying there
with short
637
00:43:47,340 --> 00:43:49,040
pants on and no back in your jacket.
638
00:43:52,300 --> 00:43:53,300
Embarrassed.
639
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,440
And sometimes they'll come over, you
know, some people, it depends on your
640
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,580
religion and so forth, but they do come
right over to the casket a lot of times
641
00:44:01,580 --> 00:44:02,580
and they'll go like this.
642
00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:06,280
And they're silent for a moment.
643
00:44:07,150 --> 00:44:12,470
And what they're doing while they're
salad is they're subtracting their age
644
00:44:12,470 --> 00:44:13,470
your age.
645
00:44:15,190 --> 00:44:17,710
So they get a rough estimate on what
they have left.
646
00:44:18,690 --> 00:44:20,570
And they get up and they say, don't he
look good?
647
00:44:22,030 --> 00:44:23,090
Don't he look good?
648
00:44:25,530 --> 00:44:27,110
You crazy? He's dead!
649
00:44:29,210 --> 00:44:32,750
I know, but he never looked that good.
650
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,860
Oh, they say the nicest things about
you.
651
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,320
They say the nicest things when you die.
Your popularity goes straight up when
652
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:44,198
you die.
653
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,320
They say the greatest things there are
that can be said. They'll even make
654
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:48,440
up if they have to.
655
00:44:49,340 --> 00:44:52,180
Well, he was a real asshole, but he
meant well, you know?
656
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,280
He's a well -meaning asshole.
657
00:44:58,820 --> 00:45:00,740
Yes, you get so popular when you die.
658
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,120
All the flowers you get. Think of the
flowers you get when you die. You get
659
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,500
flowers when you die than you got in
your whole life.
660
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,960
All your flowers arrive at once too
late.
661
00:45:13,660 --> 00:45:17,420
The guys will say, oh, yeah, well, you
know, Bill is dead. Yeah, poor Bill.
662
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,240
Poor Bill is dead, yeah.
663
00:45:20,140 --> 00:45:21,118
Poor Dave.
664
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,080
Yeah, poor Dave is gone now.
665
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,780
Ed? Yeah, poor Ed is gone.
666
00:45:27,460 --> 00:45:28,460
Dan?
667
00:45:28,799 --> 00:45:31,000
That motherfucker is still alive, isn't
he?
668
00:45:33,720 --> 00:45:36,200
I wish he would die so I could like him.
669
00:45:40,700 --> 00:45:43,980
Reincarnation is another aspect of
death, and a lot of people will tell you
670
00:45:43,980 --> 00:45:45,060
little tales about it.
671
00:45:46,620 --> 00:45:47,680
Reincarnation, coming back.
672
00:45:48,860 --> 00:45:51,600
A lot of folks are sure of it. They can
come back.
673
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,400
You come back as something, I don't
know.
674
00:45:54,780 --> 00:45:57,640
Does it seem right to you that it would
work? I mean...
675
00:45:59,230 --> 00:46:00,990
Mathematically, it doesn't seem to work.
676
00:46:01,530 --> 00:46:05,610
Because originally on this earth, we
only had, well, let's say six people.
677
00:46:06,510 --> 00:46:09,510
I know we had two, but it's a
controversial number. Let's say at one
678
00:46:09,510 --> 00:46:12,510
were only... There were only six of us,
about.
679
00:46:13,150 --> 00:46:14,810
Six people, six souls.
680
00:46:15,390 --> 00:46:18,690
And those six people died, and those
souls went back to the staging area.
681
00:46:19,870 --> 00:46:23,030
And new people were born, and those six
souls came back. We still only have six
682
00:46:23,030 --> 00:46:24,030
souls.
683
00:46:24,410 --> 00:46:26,570
Now we have four billion people.
684
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:28,540
claiming to have souls.
685
00:46:30,020 --> 00:46:32,720
Where are all these extra souls coming
from?
686
00:46:33,420 --> 00:46:35,620
Someone is printing up souls.
687
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,560
And it lowers their value.
688
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,580
The more souls there are, the less
they're worth.
689
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:45,500
It would seem.
690
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,440
Well, somebody's got to think of this
shit, you know.
691
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:54,780
How about the perfect murder?
692
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,560
I've thought sometimes about the...
Perfect murder.
693
00:46:58,160 --> 00:46:59,160
You know what you do?
694
00:46:59,260 --> 00:47:04,400
You pick up one person by the ankles and
you beat another person to death with
695
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:05,400
him.
696
00:47:09,740 --> 00:47:12,560
And they both die and there's no murder
weapon.
697
00:47:16,020 --> 00:47:16,540
What
698
00:47:16,540 --> 00:47:23,540
happened
699
00:47:23,540 --> 00:47:24,540
here, Sergeant?
700
00:47:24,860 --> 00:47:26,980
Looks like a pedestrian accident to me.
701
00:47:28,740 --> 00:47:30,660
They must have been moving at quite a
clip.
702
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:40,220
Of course, if you should be caught with
this perfect murder in progress or even
703
00:47:40,220 --> 00:47:46,300
after the fact, if you should be caught,
you might wind up in death row.
704
00:47:48,260 --> 00:47:49,260
Death row.
705
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,540
That's more than just fun, ain't it? I
mean, this cat's there.
706
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:55,860
Death row, man.
707
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:57,880
Oh,
708
00:47:59,380 --> 00:48:02,620
well, you got that one meal, but that's
not much of a consolation, is it?
709
00:48:03,580 --> 00:48:05,220
You can't order a meal.
710
00:48:05,460 --> 00:48:06,520
Big deal.
711
00:48:07,060 --> 00:48:09,420
Why don't you leave me alone? I'm not
hungry, man.
712
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,900
They give you that one last meal. I say
you can have some fun with that last
713
00:48:14,900 --> 00:48:18,500
meal. I mean, if you work it right, they
got to give you whatever you want.
714
00:48:18,810 --> 00:48:20,950
I mean, short of elephant steak, you
know?
715
00:48:21,510 --> 00:48:24,130
They don't want to start on a new
elephant just for one guy.
716
00:48:25,830 --> 00:48:30,630
But they got to give you pretty much
what you want. That's part of the
717
00:48:30,630 --> 00:48:33,670
of what they're going to do to you.
718
00:48:34,870 --> 00:48:38,210
Yeah, you could just order something,
you know, like maybe, well, shit, you
719
00:48:38,210 --> 00:48:39,210
them you can't decide.
720
00:48:42,750 --> 00:48:43,709
That's it.
721
00:48:43,710 --> 00:48:44,850
I can't decide.
722
00:48:45,890 --> 00:48:46,890
I don't know.
723
00:48:47,130 --> 00:48:50,690
I don't know if I want steak or lobster,
you know? I mean, I really love them
724
00:48:50,690 --> 00:48:52,350
both, and I honestly can't decide.
725
00:48:53,230 --> 00:48:56,390
Could they kill you? I don't think they
could kill you if you honestly couldn't
726
00:48:56,390 --> 00:48:59,890
decide. Lie detector, truth serum, the
man honestly doesn't know what he wants.
727
00:49:00,350 --> 00:49:04,490
We can't very well kill him. We can't
drag him down the last mile screaming, I
728
00:49:04,490 --> 00:49:05,490
don't know what I want!
729
00:49:06,740 --> 00:49:10,020
You've got to give him a chance, and
then he... Well, man lives. Imagine if
730
00:49:10,020 --> 00:49:13,480
worked it out, and you kept it going six
months. Man's still alive, can't decide
731
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:14,480
on meal.
732
00:49:14,500 --> 00:49:17,600
Three years, eight years, and then
finally you're an honest person, so you
733
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,360
them when you do figure it out, and you
say, I've decided what I'd like.
734
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:22,880
I think I'll have steak.
735
00:49:23,940 --> 00:49:25,540
Okay? How did you want that?
736
00:49:36,750 --> 00:49:42,570
feeling is if you're gonna die you know
or if you know hey die big die big
737
00:49:42,570 --> 00:49:48,870
nobody wants to just pass away you don't
want to be a euphemism do you
738
00:49:48,870 --> 00:49:55,670
nobody wants to pass away you know arnie
passed away oh
739
00:49:55,670 --> 00:50:02,590
really yes well i didn't know that well
that's the idea on the
740
00:50:02,590 --> 00:50:04,070
other hand dave died
741
00:50:05,150 --> 00:50:06,830
Oh, yes, I heard about Dave dying.
742
00:50:08,470 --> 00:50:09,470
That's true.
743
00:50:10,030 --> 00:50:12,030
I say die big.
744
00:50:12,390 --> 00:50:14,790
Give it a shot, man. Go out big.
745
00:50:15,010 --> 00:50:16,010
It's your chance.
746
00:50:16,930 --> 00:50:17,990
Die big.
747
00:50:18,230 --> 00:50:21,630
Work in a few posthumous reflexes for
your friends.
748
00:50:23,150 --> 00:50:25,670
Give them a show before you go.
749
00:50:26,930 --> 00:50:31,050
Entertain and uplift and instruct those
you are leaving behind.
750
00:50:31,820 --> 00:50:35,640
When you die, give them a few posthumous
reflexes. You know, the body does store
751
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,180
electricity up. There's a certain
storage of electricity, and even a dead
752
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:46,080
a corpse, will occasionally go... And I
say, if you have
753
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,540
that potential after you're dead, use it
properly. Pre -program.
754
00:50:50,820 --> 00:50:55,740
Before you die, pre -program some
posthumous reflexes that will be
755
00:50:55,740 --> 00:50:57,020
to those you've left behind.
756
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,640
Do something to capture their
imagination.
757
00:51:01,740 --> 00:51:03,740
Roll over on the autopsy table.
758
00:51:06,260 --> 00:51:07,260
That's nice.
759
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,840
Cross your legs, scratch your balls, do
something.
760
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:24,620
Now, the only reason, the only reason
that I even suggest that you have a
761
00:51:24,620 --> 00:51:29,400
about what you can do at the moment of
death is...
762
00:51:29,950 --> 00:51:36,590
A very little known and very little
understood part of the death process
763
00:51:36,590 --> 00:51:38,730
the two -minute warning.
764
00:51:40,190 --> 00:51:44,650
Many people are not aware of it at all.
The two -minute warning.
765
00:51:45,030 --> 00:51:46,710
Just as in football.
766
00:51:48,510 --> 00:51:53,050
Two minutes before you die, you receive
an audible warning.
767
00:51:53,390 --> 00:51:55,590
Two minutes, get your shit together.
768
00:52:02,350 --> 00:52:06,030
The reason we don't know about it is
because the only people who hear it die.
769
00:52:08,410 --> 00:52:11,610
And I don't think we'd believe someone
anyway if he told us he received his two
770
00:52:11,610 --> 00:52:12,610
-minute warning, would you?
771
00:52:12,810 --> 00:52:16,710
Some asshole on the bus? Hey, I just got
my two -minute warning.
772
00:52:17,990 --> 00:52:20,290
You'd think it was a coach out on the
town.
773
00:52:21,410 --> 00:52:23,570
But no, the two -minute warning does
arrive.
774
00:52:24,070 --> 00:52:29,830
And I say use that time to entertain, to
leave something behind.
775
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,720
Do something with the two minutes. Hey,
if nothing else, give a speech.
776
00:52:34,220 --> 00:52:36,760
A little two -minute speech. We can all
give a little two -minute speech.
777
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:42,260
Just pick some subject you're very fond
of and talk about it for two minutes. I
778
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:45,800
mean, tell them. It's your last chance
to tell them anything.
779
00:52:46,380 --> 00:52:51,420
So tell them. Got two minutes? And I
mean, wax eloquent. Rise. Bring it to
780
00:52:51,420 --> 00:52:55,260
rafters. And then at the moment of the
end, you say, if this is not the truth,
781
00:52:55,460 --> 00:52:57,720
may God strike me dead.
782
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,600
me into the filth and uh you
783
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:26,560
know
784
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:30,280
that's the trouble with it is trying to
decide what to call these words man or
785
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:34,900
trying to decide what to call this whole
thing you know what are these words
786
00:53:34,900 --> 00:53:38,700
that i'm talking about they're just
words that we've decided sort of decided
787
00:53:38,700 --> 00:53:41,780
to use all the time that's about the
only thing you can really say about them
788
00:53:41,780 --> 00:53:46,610
for sure that there are just some words,
not many either, just a few, that we've
789
00:53:46,610 --> 00:53:50,470
decided, well, we won't use them all the
time.
790
00:53:51,330 --> 00:53:52,810
Sometimes, well, hell yeah.
791
00:53:53,970 --> 00:53:58,170
Sometimes it's okay, but not all the
time. And they're the only words that
792
00:53:58,170 --> 00:53:59,170
to have that restriction.
793
00:53:59,250 --> 00:54:01,490
I mean, there are a lot of words you can
say whenever you want, you know.
794
00:54:01,810 --> 00:54:04,930
Pneumonia! Nobody gives you a lot of...
All right, you can't yell it in the
795
00:54:04,930 --> 00:54:06,430
hospital a great deal, but what the
hell.
796
00:54:07,310 --> 00:54:09,690
There are words that you can say, no
problem.
797
00:54:10,130 --> 00:54:11,130
Topography!
798
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,000
No one has ever gone to jail for
screaming topography.
799
00:54:14,540 --> 00:54:17,140
But there are some words that you can go
to jail for.
800
00:54:17,860 --> 00:54:22,880
There are some words that we just have
decided we will not say all the time.
801
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:28,100
Sometimes, okay, if you're running
through the jungle chasing somebody that
802
00:54:28,100 --> 00:54:30,620
we're at war with, you can holler them.
803
00:54:31,140 --> 00:54:34,280
If you're shooting a criminal, it's
okay. It's the all -American thing.
804
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:35,280
fucking crooks.
805
00:54:37,339 --> 00:54:40,680
But if you're with the bishop's wife at
lunch, it's better not to ask for the
806
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:41,680
goddamn lettuce.
807
00:54:43,460 --> 00:54:46,380
You know what I mean? It's just like
we've decided there'd be some words we
808
00:54:46,380 --> 00:54:49,340
won't say all the time. And I was just
trying to find out which words they
809
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,600
For sure. All of them. I wanted a list.
810
00:54:51,900 --> 00:54:53,540
Because nobody gives you a list.
811
00:54:53,860 --> 00:54:54,860
That's the problem.
812
00:54:55,340 --> 00:54:58,200
They don't give you a list. Wouldn't you
think it'd be normal if they didn't
813
00:54:58,200 --> 00:54:59,900
want you to say something to tell you
what it is?
814
00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:03,460
Nobody even tells you when you're a kid
what the words are that you're supposed
815
00:55:03,460 --> 00:55:04,288
to say. to avoid.
816
00:55:04,290 --> 00:55:07,450
You have to say them to find out which
ones they are.
817
00:55:07,990 --> 00:55:11,250
Shit! Oh, fuck!
818
00:55:12,810 --> 00:55:13,810
That's two.
819
00:55:15,230 --> 00:55:18,250
Oh, Ma, that's enough trial and error,
huh?
820
00:55:19,810 --> 00:55:21,730
Please, Ma, give me a list, huh?
821
00:55:23,250 --> 00:55:29,390
All right, you're six years old now, and
here's the list of words your dad and I
822
00:55:29,390 --> 00:55:31,770
don't ever want to hear you say.
823
00:55:33,529 --> 00:55:35,210
Oh, hey, thanks, Ma.
824
00:55:36,250 --> 00:55:38,610
Boy, that's going to save me an ass
-kicking or two.
825
00:55:41,710 --> 00:55:42,710
Yeah,
826
00:55:45,510 --> 00:55:47,370
you never know what's going to be on the
list.
827
00:55:48,590 --> 00:55:50,570
Because it's always somebody else's
list.
828
00:55:51,230 --> 00:55:53,870
You didn't make that up. Somebody told
you that shit.
829
00:55:54,110 --> 00:55:57,730
They told you better not say that, so
you got to... And you don't know what's
830
00:55:57,730 --> 00:55:59,030
going to be on their list. God.
831
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,480
People's lists even change from day to
day. Some people on Friday night got a
832
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,080
list, you know, about two or three
words. Sunday morning, goddamn, they
833
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:07,080
words.
834
00:56:07,500 --> 00:56:10,120
These are the same people two days
later. Different list.
835
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,340
So you got to kind of watch out what
you're going to believe from them. The
836
00:56:13,340 --> 00:56:17,020
trouble is, I was trying to find out
what these words might be, and I wanted
837
00:56:17,020 --> 00:56:21,000
know the ones that you could never say
on television. I mean the filthy words
838
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,540
that are always filthy.
839
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:27,130
There are a lot of these little two
-way, double -entoned words that... have
840
00:56:27,130 --> 00:56:31,010
meanings, words that are okay part of
the time. I call them like part -time
841
00:56:31,010 --> 00:56:35,130
filth, some of these words. They're only
50 % dirty. You have words like ass.
842
00:56:35,450 --> 00:56:39,070
Ass is hardly even a dirty word anymore,
but it has a few meanings that you
843
00:56:39,070 --> 00:56:40,070
can't say on television.
844
00:56:40,270 --> 00:56:43,270
That's what I was talking about. What
can you say on television? That's
845
00:56:43,270 --> 00:56:46,370
one of those places where we can't use
these words all the time.
846
00:56:46,690 --> 00:56:48,570
But some of them are all right some of
the time.
847
00:56:48,870 --> 00:56:51,770
Ass is all right on television. You can
say on television things like, well,
848
00:56:51,770 --> 00:56:54,530
you've made a perfect ass of yourself
tonight.
849
00:56:55,180 --> 00:56:57,920
But you can't say, hey, let's go get
some ass.
850
00:57:06,970 --> 00:57:10,510
Bitch. Bitch is another word like that.
Same kind of word. It's only dirty part
851
00:57:10,510 --> 00:57:13,410
of the time. Depends on what you mean by
bitch. You might be the lady from the
852
00:57:13,410 --> 00:57:16,610
San Diego Zoo visiting one of the
Tonight Shows, and you might just have a
853
00:57:16,610 --> 00:57:19,190
of little canines with you there. One of
them is a female. You say, there's the
854
00:57:19,190 --> 00:57:20,490
bitch, Johnny, and it's okay, fine.
855
00:57:21,050 --> 00:57:23,070
Just don't refer to the singer the same
way.
856
00:57:23,610 --> 00:57:25,930
Is that bitch going to do another
number? Yes.
857
00:57:28,330 --> 00:57:29,330
Animals are fine.
858
00:57:30,570 --> 00:57:33,730
on those two -way words, and that's it.
That's what I was trying to find, the
859
00:57:33,730 --> 00:57:38,150
words that were always dirty, not just
part of the time, but completely filth.
860
00:57:39,050 --> 00:57:44,190
Well, in looking for these words, I kept
finding new categories.
861
00:57:44,490 --> 00:57:47,270
We have so many ways of describing these
dirty words.
862
00:57:47,730 --> 00:57:52,090
Well, we have more ways to describe
dirty words than we actually have dirty
863
00:57:52,090 --> 00:57:55,970
words. That seems a little strange to
me.
864
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,820
It seems to indicate that somebody was
awfully interested in these words.
865
00:58:00,420 --> 00:58:05,980
They kept referring to them. They called
them bad words, dirty,
866
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:11,800
filthy, foul, vile, vulgar, coarse,
867
00:58:12,260 --> 00:58:18,940
in poor taste, unseemly, street talk,
gutter talk, locker room language,
868
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:25,320
barracks talk, bawdy, naughty, saucy,
raunchy.
869
00:58:25,820 --> 00:58:31,720
rude, crude, lewd, lascivious, indecent,
profane, obscene, blue, off -color,
870
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:38,940
risque, suggestive, cursing, cussing,
swearing,
871
00:58:39,060 --> 00:58:41,740
and all I could think of was shit, piss,
fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker,
872
00:58:41,940 --> 00:58:42,940
and tits.
873
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:46,480
That's all I meant.
874
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,040
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker,
motherfucker, and tits.
875
00:58:54,540 --> 00:58:59,260
That was my original list. I knew it
wasn't complete, but it was a starter
876
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:00,400
you know?
877
00:59:02,900 --> 00:59:09,900
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker,
motherfucker, and tits.
878
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,100
Now, that was the original list. We've
added a few words since then. We've
879
00:59:13,100 --> 00:59:14,600
fart, turd, and twat.
880
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,620
And I know there are some other words
that many of you are wondering about,
881
00:59:20,620 --> 00:59:23,760
they haven't been considered, why they
haven't shown up on the list thus far.
882
00:59:23,820 --> 00:59:25,420
We're looking at them all very closely.
883
00:59:25,700 --> 00:59:28,160
Some of your favorites might make the
list this year.
884
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:34,800
Asshole, ball bag, hard on, piss hard,
blue balls, taint, nookie, snatch, box,
885
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:41,180
pussy, pecker, pecker head, pecker
tracks, jism, joint, doniker, dork,
886
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:42,860
boom tang.
887
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:54,420
Dingleberry, a very popular word.
888
00:59:55,020 --> 00:59:58,160
And to my way of thinking, dingleberry,
a rather innocent -sounding word.
889
00:59:58,340 --> 01:00:00,560
Dingleberry sounds Christmassy to me,
you know.
890
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:03,700
Let's put one on the tree, Dad.
891
01:00:09,420 --> 01:00:13,180
So the words, as I say, shit, piss,
fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker,
892
01:00:13,180 --> 01:00:14,540
fart, turd, and twat.
893
01:00:15,890 --> 01:00:20,090
Now, motherfucker came off the list
immediately, the first day, in fact. I
894
01:00:20,090 --> 01:00:24,230
call from an English language purist,
some guy, he had to talk, you know, he
895
01:00:24,230 --> 01:00:27,770
on the phone. He tells me I have a
duplicate on my list, I have a
896
01:00:27,870 --> 01:00:33,230
He says, motherfucker is a duplication
of the word fuck, technically, because
897
01:00:33,230 --> 01:00:37,170
fuck is the root form, motherfucker
being derivative, therefore it
898
01:00:37,170 --> 01:00:42,950
duplication. And I said, hey,
motherfucker, how did you get my phone
899
01:00:42,950 --> 01:00:43,950
anyway?
900
01:00:52,430 --> 01:00:55,550
I said, look, man, it may be derivative,
but you still can't say it.
901
01:00:56,110 --> 01:00:59,730
You still can't say motherfucker on TV,
can you? He said, no, but you can't say
902
01:00:59,730 --> 01:01:02,890
fucky, fucking, fuckola, fuckeroonie, or
fuckerino either.
903
01:01:05,250 --> 01:01:08,210
Well, I said, yeah, that would crowd up
my list something awful.
904
01:01:09,410 --> 01:01:11,430
So I just struck that motherfucker away.
905
01:01:13,110 --> 01:01:14,850
Struck it from the list. Motherfucker
was gone.
906
01:01:15,730 --> 01:01:18,490
Now the list was shit, piss, fuck, cunt,
cocksucker, tits.
907
01:01:19,850 --> 01:01:21,610
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker,
tits.
908
01:01:22,730 --> 01:01:24,610
Does it sound like something's missing?
909
01:01:25,190 --> 01:01:27,430
Does it sound like an old friend is
gone?
910
01:01:29,430 --> 01:01:31,910
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker,
tits. Remember the old rhythm?
911
01:01:32,370 --> 01:01:34,210
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker,
motherfucker, tits.
912
01:01:34,490 --> 01:01:35,510
Cocksucker, motherfucker, tits.
913
01:01:35,790 --> 01:01:36,810
Cocksucker, motherfucker, tits.
914
01:01:37,070 --> 01:01:40,030
Cocksucker, motherfucker, tits. Now,
shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker,
915
01:01:40,230 --> 01:01:42,350
It falls apart. It isn't going anywhere.
916
01:01:43,370 --> 01:01:47,310
And by now, cocksucker is the dominant
word on the list.
917
01:01:48,580 --> 01:01:52,040
Previously, with motherfucker on the
list, cocksucker was somewhat balanced
918
01:01:52,580 --> 01:01:55,960
They were the only multisyllabic words
on the list. But now, cocksucker stands
919
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:58,900
alone. Shit this fuck on cocksucker
tits.
920
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,960
And who knows? Maybe it doesn't belong
either. After all, motherfucker turned
921
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,120
out to be a ringer. Let's take a look at
cocksucker.
922
01:02:09,140 --> 01:02:13,020
See, if this one belongs, we'll divide
the word cock and sucker from each
923
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:13,899
those words.
924
01:02:13,900 --> 01:02:15,460
Sucker isn't dirty. Sucker.
925
01:02:16,460 --> 01:02:17,700
It's suggestive as hell.
926
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:20,960
But it isn't dirty.
927
01:02:21,820 --> 01:02:24,900
And cock, that's not dirty all the time.
928
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:28,160
That's one of those words that's only
partly filthy.
929
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,620
Cock, if you're talking about the
animal, it's perfectly all right. They
930
01:02:31,620 --> 01:02:33,760
read that to us from the Bible in third
grade.
931
01:02:34,660 --> 01:02:36,420
And we would laugh.
932
01:02:38,180 --> 01:02:41,840
Cock is in the Bible.
933
01:02:43,180 --> 01:02:45,080
Remember the first time you heard about
a cock fight?
934
01:02:45,340 --> 01:02:46,340
What? No.
935
01:02:51,060 --> 01:02:57,900
Even the word cocksucker itself has
936
01:02:57,900 --> 01:03:00,980
been twisted out of all of its original
meaning. It's been distorted for some
937
01:03:00,980 --> 01:03:01,919
reason now.
938
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,220
Cocksucker means bad man.
939
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:06,800
It's a good woman. How did they do that?
940
01:03:08,860 --> 01:03:10,020
How did they do that?
941
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:19,160
Tits is on the end of the list.
942
01:03:19,500 --> 01:03:21,300
Shit, piss, fucking, cocksucker,
motherfucker.
943
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:22,640
Tits.
944
01:03:22,820 --> 01:03:24,700
And you know it doesn't belong on that
list.
945
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:28,420
I mean, it really doesn't belong in with
that kind of heavyweight filth.
946
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,180
Tits isn't dirty. Tits is a cute name.
947
01:03:31,580 --> 01:03:33,020
Cute thing, cute idea.
948
01:03:33,660 --> 01:03:34,558
Great fun.
949
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:35,560
Good name.
950
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,140
Tits, hey, Tits sounds like a friend. It
sounds like a nickname, doesn't it?
951
01:03:40,220 --> 01:03:41,380
Hey, Tits, come here, man.
952
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,140
Hey, Tits, I want you to meet Toots.
953
01:03:44,540 --> 01:03:46,580
Tits, this is Toots. Toots, Tits.
954
01:03:48,210 --> 01:03:51,950
Tits. Cute word. Nice word. I love a
word that spells the same forwards and
955
01:03:51,950 --> 01:03:52,950
backwards like tit.
956
01:03:53,230 --> 01:03:55,790
Don't you think it's so cute when a word
is spelled the same forwards and
957
01:03:55,790 --> 01:03:57,570
backwards? I always wished my name was
Otto.
958
01:03:58,530 --> 01:04:01,090
Just so I could walk backwards and yell
my name, you know?
959
01:04:01,450 --> 01:04:02,670
Otto. Otto.
960
01:04:03,310 --> 01:04:04,310
Otto.
961
01:04:05,050 --> 01:04:06,470
Well, I had strange dreams.
962
01:04:08,470 --> 01:04:12,670
But the word tit is on the list because
you can't say it on television.
963
01:04:13,310 --> 01:04:17,050
You can't say tit. Imagine that. Can't
say tits. You can say booze.
964
01:04:18,069 --> 01:04:20,030
Boobs is spelled the same forwards and
backwards, too.
965
01:04:21,390 --> 01:04:24,190
Boobs is all right. You can't say tits,
but you can say boobs.
966
01:04:24,410 --> 01:04:26,430
In fact, boobs is an answer now in match
game.
967
01:04:27,310 --> 01:04:28,690
I had boobs, Gene.
968
01:04:30,250 --> 01:04:31,250
Boobs, $200.
969
01:04:33,470 --> 01:04:35,430
Tits, $200. Fine, maybe.
970
01:04:37,930 --> 01:04:40,430
You can't say tits. You can say teats.
971
01:04:40,930 --> 01:04:44,230
Teats is all right, providing you're on
at 5 in the morning and a cow is your
972
01:04:44,230 --> 01:04:45,230
guest.
973
01:04:48,220 --> 01:04:51,840
But you can't say jugs and you can't say
knockers, you know.
974
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,500
That's right, Danny. Pull on the cow's
knockers.
975
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:57,860
Right, grab a knocker in each hand. That
a boy.
976
01:04:58,340 --> 01:05:00,080
Now, alternate knockers. Good deal.
977
01:05:01,460 --> 01:05:02,460
Can't say that.
978
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:07,060
Tits. Tits sounds like a snack, you
know. Well, I know what you're thinking.
979
01:05:07,060 --> 01:05:12,380
tits sounds almost, it sounds Nabisco to
me. It sounds like Nabisco has reserved
980
01:05:12,380 --> 01:05:13,380
that name.
981
01:05:13,540 --> 01:05:16,420
Because tits sounds like a thing at a
party. Pass the tits, would you be? Oh,
982
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:17,440
thanks.
983
01:05:18,430 --> 01:05:20,730
Say, those things are responding.
984
01:05:31,630 --> 01:05:35,430
Well, shit, piss, fucking, toxic,
motherfucking tits. Fart, turd, and
985
01:05:36,210 --> 01:05:37,210
Fart?
986
01:05:37,570 --> 01:05:40,530
Fart is like tit. It's one of those
words that isn't that harmful. You know,
987
01:05:40,550 --> 01:05:43,470
it's a cute kind of thing. Well, farts
can be a little harmful.
988
01:05:46,220 --> 01:05:47,300
Depends on who's cooking.
989
01:05:47,540 --> 01:05:53,280
But farts... Fart? Fart is a... Hey,
kids know farts are okay.
990
01:05:53,820 --> 01:05:55,680
Kids know farts are fun.
991
01:05:57,340 --> 01:05:59,320
Farts are shit without the mess.
992
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:01,440
Wow.
993
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:04,800
Yeah.
994
01:06:05,180 --> 01:06:08,960
Same funny sound, same vile smell. No
fuss, no muss.
995
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:18,840
Fart is an interesting word in this
respect. Talking about television, fart
996
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:23,380
extremely interesting because, dig this,
you can't say fart on television. We
997
01:06:23,380 --> 01:06:28,360
know that. You can't say fart. And you
can't say fuck either on television.
998
01:06:28,620 --> 01:06:31,860
However, you can refer to fucking.
999
01:06:32,820 --> 01:06:35,100
You can talk about fucking.
1000
01:06:35,980 --> 01:06:39,320
They do that all the time. Some of the
times, the show you're watching, two
1001
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:41,060
people are probably fucking in the other
room.
1002
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:43,900
Fucking is all right. Fucking is part of
the plot.
1003
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,680
A lot of plots are based on fucking.
Will they fuck? Should they fuck? Have
1004
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,520
fucked? Did they fuck? Will they fuck
again? Will they get sick from fucking?
1005
01:06:50,660 --> 01:06:53,680
Are they fucking too much? Will they
fuck each other's friends? Will they
1006
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:56,340
baby from fucking? Will they be sorry
they fucked? Will they be glad they
1007
01:06:56,340 --> 01:06:57,339
fucked?
1008
01:06:57,340 --> 01:07:00,960
All fucks. stories. Every honeymoon joke
is a fuck joke. Have you ever noticed
1009
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,580
it? Otherwise, the people wouldn't be on
their honeymoon in the joke. They'd be
1010
01:07:03,580 --> 01:07:05,140
knights or they'd be sailors or
something.
1011
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:06,860
They're on their honeymoon. It's got to
be a fuck joke.
1012
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:11,600
Every little, every news, I'm sorry,
every quiz master has stood there with
1013
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:15,060
newlywed couple and said, and I
understand you folks are on your
1014
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:17,800
Lots of fucking going on here.
1015
01:07:18,900 --> 01:07:20,580
Lots of fucking over here.
1016
01:07:21,340 --> 01:07:25,000
So they talk about fucking all they
want. They just don't call it that.
1017
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:27,140
They don't call it what it is.
1018
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:31,280
They call it other things. They call it
making love, which is fine. They call it
1019
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:35,940
going to bed with someone, having an
affair, sleeping together.
1020
01:07:36,700 --> 01:07:38,020
But they don't call it fucking.
1021
01:07:38,700 --> 01:07:40,180
On the other hand, fart.
1022
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:47,980
Not only is fart a word you can't use on
television, but they never even refer
1023
01:07:47,980 --> 01:07:48,980
to them.
1024
01:07:49,980 --> 01:07:52,640
That's how bad farts are compared to
fucking.
1025
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:57,420
They don't even refer to farts. There
are no farts on television.
1026
01:07:58,140 --> 01:08:01,480
You've never seen a reference to a fart?
I've never seen a fart reference.
1027
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:06,920
No, wouldn't you think that by now one
guy would have gone, whew,
1028
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:09,280
whew.
1029
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:17,359
Wouldn't you think by now that one guy
on
1030
01:08:17,359 --> 01:08:23,080
the Johnny Carson panel just once would
have said, hey, Ed, move down, Ed.
1031
01:08:23,610 --> 01:08:24,610
Whoo!
1032
01:08:25,510 --> 01:08:26,510
Wow.
1033
01:08:30,630 --> 01:08:32,790
That was a Clydesdale fart, Ed.
1034
01:08:34,950 --> 01:08:36,529
Give me the lighter, will you, Johnny?
1035
01:08:38,370 --> 01:08:39,370
Geez,
1036
01:08:40,750 --> 01:08:43,050
Ed, next time you're sick, you ought to
see the nurse, you know?
1037
01:08:44,470 --> 01:08:46,529
God, it's not the smell so much.
1038
01:08:47,370 --> 01:08:48,970
It's the burning of my arm!
1039
01:08:55,790 --> 01:08:57,770
Well, we might live to see that. You
never know.
1040
01:08:58,450 --> 01:08:59,710
Remember when you were a kid?
1041
01:09:01,430 --> 01:09:04,930
Maybe you were a little boy child like
me. You had on short pants, maybe
1042
01:09:04,930 --> 01:09:05,930
in church.
1043
01:09:06,410 --> 01:09:09,850
Sitting on a wooden bench in church in
the middle of the summer with short
1044
01:09:09,850 --> 01:09:10,850
pants.
1045
01:09:11,350 --> 01:09:12,770
You got to fart, you know.
1046
01:09:13,710 --> 01:09:17,950
And it's up to you. You got to work out
a little maneuver that's called the one
1047
01:09:17,950 --> 01:09:18,950
-cheek sneak.
1048
01:09:27,819 --> 01:09:29,260
Right in tune with the organ.
1049
01:09:31,740 --> 01:09:34,020
That's why they call them pews, you
know.
1050
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:37,000
Pew!
1051
01:09:37,540 --> 01:09:38,540
Pew!
1052
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:40,479
Pew!
1053
01:09:44,700 --> 01:09:48,220
Do you ever notice that your own farts
smell okay?
1054
01:09:51,460 --> 01:09:53,000
Say, that's fairly decent.
1055
01:09:56,650 --> 01:09:58,010
I think I'll stay home today.
1056
01:10:03,370 --> 01:10:05,050
I'll do some reading in the closet.
1057
01:10:13,370 --> 01:10:16,810
Now, I mentioned the three extra words,
fart, turd, and twat. Turd is another
1058
01:10:16,810 --> 01:10:18,170
word you can't say on television.
1059
01:10:18,450 --> 01:10:21,650
Turd. But, you know, when you get right
down to it, who wants to say it?
1060
01:10:22,750 --> 01:10:24,770
I don't even care if I ever hear that
one again.
1061
01:10:25,790 --> 01:10:29,290
Twat. Twat is on the list for the same
reason. It doesn't mean anything else.
1062
01:10:29,470 --> 01:10:32,450
You know, it only has that one meaning.
Twat's twat, and that's that.
1063
01:10:33,630 --> 01:10:36,790
It's not like prick. Prick is one of
those part -time dirty words. Prick is
1064
01:10:36,790 --> 01:10:39,690
right. You can say prick on television.
You can say I pricked my finger. Just
1065
01:10:39,690 --> 01:10:40,990
don't say you fingered your prick.
1066
01:10:46,550 --> 01:10:52,310
Now, there are two words left, which I
will wind this thing up with.
1067
01:10:53,050 --> 01:10:56,370
One of them is not dirty all the time.
One of them is.
1068
01:10:57,250 --> 01:11:03,790
Ball, or balls, is a word that's mostly
clean. It has many clean
1069
01:11:03,790 --> 01:11:07,310
meanings, but it has a couple of
meanings that might get you in trouble.
1070
01:11:08,010 --> 01:11:11,610
And ball is one of those words you've
got to think about how you're going to
1071
01:11:11,610 --> 01:11:15,110
it. Maybe you have to watch out for just
a moment. But it's okay for sports
1072
01:11:15,110 --> 01:11:16,110
people.
1073
01:11:16,230 --> 01:11:19,030
Perfectly all right. When you're a kid,
you grow up, they tell you, go play with
1074
01:11:19,030 --> 01:11:20,030
your ball.
1075
01:11:25,380 --> 01:11:28,600
Really? But it's okay for the sports
announcer on the Game of the Week to
1076
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:31,540
you that Pete Rose has two balls on
that.
1077
01:11:32,220 --> 01:11:33,460
No problem at all.
1078
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:35,880
The whole country nods in agreement.
1079
01:11:38,940 --> 01:11:41,760
But the announcer can't tell you that he
hurt his balls.
1080
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:46,140
He can't tell Tony Kubik, Tony, I think
he hurt his balls on that play.
1081
01:11:47,440 --> 01:11:49,360
It looks like it. He's holding on to
them.
1082
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:54,400
Well, that's right. Generally, when he
hurt their balls, they hold them, and
1083
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:56,360
he's holding his, and I'd say he's hurt
them.
1084
01:11:57,840 --> 01:11:59,180
Never mention ball injuries.
1085
01:11:59,440 --> 01:12:02,940
They don't say the balls were hurt. They
say groin injuries. He had a groin
1086
01:12:02,940 --> 01:12:05,160
injury. Do you know why we call it a
groin injury?
1087
01:12:05,540 --> 01:12:07,580
That's the noise you make when you get
hit there.
1088
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:10,280
Groin!
1089
01:12:14,660 --> 01:12:18,560
Now then, the other word I wanted to
remind you of was the word fuck, which,
1090
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:19,560
course, is the champ.
1091
01:12:19,900 --> 01:12:23,260
of the all -time dirty words. When
they're always dirty, by God, fuck is
1092
01:12:23,260 --> 01:12:24,260
at the head of the pack.
1093
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:28,000
Fuck's a good, strong word. It's a good,
strong word for its purpose. And it's a
1094
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,120
word that a lot of people have trouble
with.
1095
01:12:31,220 --> 01:12:35,540
It's an honest word. It's a forceful
word. It has a lot of emotional baggage
1096
01:12:35,540 --> 01:12:36,540
with it.
1097
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:38,820
When you hear the word fuck, you're not
just hearing the word.
1098
01:12:39,100 --> 01:12:41,160
You're hearing everything you ever heard
about fucking.
1099
01:12:41,420 --> 01:12:44,120
I mean, we have a lot of attitudes about
fucking. Some of them are rational and
1100
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:47,140
some of them aren't. Some of them have
joy in them. Some have guilt and fear
1101
01:12:47,140 --> 01:12:49,820
all sorts of things. And the word fuck
carries with it a lot of emotional
1102
01:12:49,820 --> 01:12:51,740
baggage. When they say fuck, you go,
what?
1103
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:52,938
Oh, good.
1104
01:12:52,940 --> 01:12:54,580
Oh, I thought you meant do it right
away.
1105
01:12:56,520 --> 01:13:00,520
God. You know, it's just a word that,
well, it'll clear the room awfully quick
1106
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:01,520
in some households.
1107
01:13:02,010 --> 01:13:05,850
It's a heavy, good, strong word. It's a
proud -sounding word to me. Fuck, fuck,
1108
01:13:05,910 --> 01:13:07,350
I am fuck. Who are you?
1109
01:13:08,190 --> 01:13:09,350
Fuck of the mountain.
1110
01:13:10,330 --> 01:13:16,350
I just feel the word is getting a bad
shake. The word has an image problem.
1111
01:13:16,990 --> 01:13:19,510
The word fuck needs public relations
help.
1112
01:13:19,970 --> 01:13:21,110
It's just a word.
1113
01:13:21,310 --> 01:13:24,830
You know, that's what you have to
remember. It's just a word, but it's in
1114
01:13:24,830 --> 01:13:25,890
bad shape.
1115
01:13:26,370 --> 01:13:28,210
Here's a word that started out okay.
1116
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:32,180
Started out all right. Nothing wrong
with the word fuck originally.
1117
01:13:32,500 --> 01:13:34,760
I mean, there it was. You're not a bad
word.
1118
01:13:35,420 --> 01:13:37,180
You're not a bad word.
1119
01:13:38,060 --> 01:13:40,940
You've just gotten in with bad company.
1120
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:43,520
People.
1121
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:45,199
That's all.
1122
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:48,740
Just the word was all it was. The word
in the original Old English, as best I
1123
01:13:48,740 --> 01:13:55,700
can find, fuck only meant to hit, to
smite, to perhaps hit with a stick, to
1124
01:13:55,700 --> 01:13:56,700
the tree.
1125
01:13:58,510 --> 01:13:59,770
To fuck the rock.
1126
01:14:01,510 --> 01:14:02,530
To fuck thee.
1127
01:14:04,930 --> 01:14:05,749
That's all.
1128
01:14:05,750 --> 01:14:10,490
And pretty soon... That's all.
1129
01:14:12,650 --> 01:14:14,070
I'll hit you with me dick, honey.
1130
01:14:14,410 --> 01:14:15,289
Look at that.
1131
01:14:15,290 --> 01:14:18,330
That's all it was. Just a little... I'll
knock a little fuck on you there.
1132
01:14:18,990 --> 01:14:21,950
That's all it was. It was a love tap
when you get right down to it.
1133
01:14:22,190 --> 01:14:25,930
That's all fuck ever meant. All fuck
ever meant was to make love.
1134
01:14:26,610 --> 01:14:27,950
And to make life.
1135
01:14:28,490 --> 01:14:30,990
At the same time, that's pretty magic.
1136
01:14:31,250 --> 01:14:34,410
I mean, the pretty noble things we think
about, making love and making life.
1137
01:14:34,470 --> 01:14:38,270
Here was fuck hanging around with words
like love and life.
1138
01:14:39,050 --> 01:14:41,310
How did it get such a bad reputation?
1139
01:14:43,850 --> 01:14:45,550
We fucked it up.
1140
01:14:47,910 --> 01:14:49,650
Yeah, well...
1141
01:14:55,850 --> 01:14:58,890
We put the aggression back into the
word. Fuck you.
1142
01:15:00,030 --> 01:15:01,150
Fuck you, you fuck.
1143
01:15:02,030 --> 01:15:04,970
Fuck you, you fuck. Who the fuck do you
think you're fucking with? Some kind of
1144
01:15:04,970 --> 01:15:08,110
a fuckhead? Fuck you. Who the fuck do
you think you're fucking with? Me? Don't
1145
01:15:08,110 --> 01:15:11,030
fuck with me. I'll fuck over you. You
fuck with me and you'll get fucked, you
1146
01:15:11,030 --> 01:15:14,570
fuck. Don't fuck with me. I'm the
fucker. Don't fuck with the fucker. God,
1147
01:15:14,570 --> 01:15:15,930
sounds like combat, man.
1148
01:15:16,210 --> 01:15:20,010
It's got an awful lot. There's an awful
lot of hostility in the way that word is
1149
01:15:20,010 --> 01:15:23,350
used. There's an awful lot of aggression
going down in the name of fucking.
1150
01:15:24,490 --> 01:15:28,910
Imagine that. I'd just like to help a
little. My feeling was, hey, here's a
1151
01:15:28,910 --> 01:15:29,910
word.
1152
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:34,080
that maybe we could save, you know, just
by paying a little close attention to
1153
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:37,920
it. The trouble is, with all that
aggression and all that violence, that
1154
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:40,860
track of those two things, and people
start talking about sex and violence
1155
01:15:40,860 --> 01:15:43,000
they're one thing. There's some sort of
an overlapping.
1156
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:46,860
There's some sort of a gray area between
sex and violence that some people
1157
01:15:46,860 --> 01:15:49,940
really are confused about. There are
people running around talking about sex
1158
01:15:49,940 --> 01:15:53,460
violence as if it's one thing, as if it
starts with an S and ends with an E.
1159
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:55,740
We're going to stamp it out of the
Commons. We're going to stamp it out of
1160
01:15:55,740 --> 01:15:57,280
Dixie Cup. We're going to stamp it out
of Holmes.
1161
01:15:57,580 --> 01:16:00,600
Sex and violence, hey, they are.
different after all.
1162
01:16:01,020 --> 01:16:07,780
And some people even like them together.
There are two people who do like a
1163
01:16:07,780 --> 01:16:11,820
little violence with their sex. I don't
care for that myself. I like my violence
1164
01:16:11,820 --> 01:16:13,180
a little earlier in the afternoon.
1165
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:17,420
Long about two o 'clock, a real good ass
kicking and then everything's all
1166
01:16:17,420 --> 01:16:18,420
right.
1167
01:16:19,300 --> 01:16:26,260
But the word make love not war.
1168
01:16:27,260 --> 01:16:28,880
Someone pointed it out finally.
1169
01:16:29,390 --> 01:16:30,790
They made it very clear for us.
1170
01:16:31,350 --> 01:16:33,230
Make love, not war.
1171
01:16:33,890 --> 01:16:36,930
I wish I had thought of that phrase, you
know? I really would have been very
1172
01:16:36,930 --> 01:16:39,490
happy with myself if I had thought of
that one.
1173
01:16:39,730 --> 01:16:41,530
Man, I would have retired the same day.
1174
01:16:42,370 --> 01:16:44,430
I would have left my car at the red
light, man.
1175
01:16:45,510 --> 01:16:47,730
I say, that's it, folks. I'm going to
the beach.
1176
01:16:49,010 --> 01:16:53,190
You got it. Make love, not war. Well, I
didn't think of it. But I do have my own
1177
01:16:53,190 --> 01:16:55,670
phrase. Make fuck, not kill.
1178
01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:01,880
It's not as graceful a phrase, but I'm
not looking to retire either.
1179
01:17:03,540 --> 01:17:04,700
The whole
1180
01:17:04,700 --> 01:17:17,180
idea
1181
01:17:17,180 --> 01:17:21,920
of make fuck not kill is simply to
switch the meanings of the words. I
1182
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:23,080
that for one year...
1183
01:17:23,670 --> 01:17:27,870
We trade meanings on fuck and kill. Just
fuck for kill and kill for fuck. That's
1184
01:17:27,870 --> 01:17:31,030
it. Don't worry about what they really
are. Someone else will take care of real
1185
01:17:31,030 --> 01:17:32,390
fucking and real killing.
1186
01:17:32,930 --> 01:17:37,390
I'm just worried about what we call it,
them. We call them fucking and killing.
1187
01:17:37,450 --> 01:17:41,030
I say switch them around. I think it
would be an insight. I think we'd get a
1188
01:17:41,030 --> 01:17:44,150
slant on how we feel about these words
if we just changed fucking for killing
1189
01:17:44,150 --> 01:17:45,150
for about a year. That's all.
1190
01:17:45,850 --> 01:17:48,750
Imagine it. Sure would be fun watching
TV during that time.
1191
01:17:50,530 --> 01:17:52,330
Better get down off the horse, Sheriff.
1192
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:54,460
We're fixing to fuck you now.
1193
01:18:01,660 --> 01:18:03,820
Mad fucker still on the loose.
1194
01:18:04,820 --> 01:18:08,900
Not anymore. He's made his first big
mistake, my friend. He fucked a cop
1195
01:18:10,020 --> 01:18:11,700
That makes him a cop fucker.
1196
01:18:13,540 --> 01:18:16,820
Pardon me, boys. My horse broke his leg.
I'm going to have to fuck him. I'll be
1197
01:18:16,820 --> 01:18:17,820
right back.
1198
01:18:22,890 --> 01:18:24,810
Shamu, the fucker whale.
1199
01:18:30,070 --> 01:18:36,750
And to fuck a mockingbird
1200
01:18:36,750 --> 01:18:40,330
pulled gently by the wing.
1201
01:18:50,350 --> 01:18:53,230
So all I'm trying to suggest is that
fuck you can be a positive phrase.
1202
01:18:53,470 --> 01:18:55,630
If you hear it from across the street,
fuck you, okay?
1203
01:18:57,290 --> 01:19:01,250
I thank you for being a part of this. I
mean it a lot. And I thank the people
1204
01:19:01,250 --> 01:19:03,310
that aren't here tonight that were here
the other two nights. And there's an
1205
01:19:03,310 --> 01:19:06,370
awful lot of people to thank. But I want
to do one thing before I go any further
1206
01:19:06,370 --> 01:19:07,370
because I am going to split.
1207
01:19:07,490 --> 01:19:11,290
There's somebody that's very important
to this project and to me. Brenda, would
1208
01:19:11,290 --> 01:19:14,210
you please come here? I want to
introduce you to my wife of 17 years.
1209
01:19:14,610 --> 01:19:16,150
She is the associate producer.
1210
01:19:16,810 --> 01:19:20,110
And she is my honey, and if she don't
come out here now, come here, honey, I
1211
01:19:20,110 --> 01:19:21,110
want you to give me a kiss.
1212
01:19:21,670 --> 01:19:23,190
My wife, Brenda Collins.
1213
01:19:23,410 --> 01:19:24,410
Come here, honey.
1214
01:19:30,170 --> 01:19:36,170
Thank you, lover.
1215
01:19:36,390 --> 01:19:40,310
See you later. Thank you all, and good
night. I love you, and fuck you.
