| All right. | |
| Thank you for your indulgence. | |
| Lord knows I never use too many analogies. | |
| Never. | |
| Never. | |
| All right. | |
| Let me just get to your comments. | |
| All right. | |
| Let's go. | |
| Let's go. | |
| Deep questions like, do you have to wear a fedora as an atheist, or do you have to smoke and drink to be a philosopher? | |
| Because that's the only thing he ever got asked. | |
| Yeah, yeah, for sure. | |
| Buggy whip manufacturer. | |
| Yes, that's right. | |
| What was the tongue twisters? | |
| Red lorry, yellow lorry. | |
| Red lorry, yellow lorry. | |
| Remember that? | |
| My first Mac says someone had no hard drive. | |
| You had to switch out discs several times just to run a program. | |
| Oh, yeah, for sure. | |
| For sure. | |
| I remember running Ultima 3. Pop the disc. | |
| Every time we would die, my friend and I would be playing. | |
| Does their screen say Etch A Sketch on the side? | |
| Yeah, that's right. | |
| You still have CDs? | |
| Well, everyone still has them, for sure. | |
| Because reasons, but I remember a 33.6 modem. | |
| Oh, did it get to 33.6? | |
| Okay. | |
| There's a shop in Toronto that sells and repairs typewriters. | |
| Sure. | |
| Yeah, I get that. | |
| I have a stick shift. | |
| Man, I remember helping a friend deliver his Porsche in Los Angeles and getting completely stuck in every intersection because that was not great at stick shift. | |
| I was actually pretty good at stick shift because I drove them up north, but not a Porsche. | |
| Not salient to Steph's point, but I'm happy not to have the crap load of recorded media taking up physical space. | |
| And my car has the manual transmission, right? | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| Actually, that's, I think, a small Hispanic guy. | |
| Who changes it for you. | |
| It's a manual transmission. | |
| I feel the urge to apologize it, but I'm gonna, I don't, according to Nietzsche, don't leave your actions in the lurch. | |
| At school, we had 80s era IBM's Apple II. | |
| Yes. | |
| Yes, I remember the Apple II. | |
| I never had one. | |
| It was way too expensive for me. | |
| All right. | |
| Like you said, they can't fight reality itself, so they'll pick the next best thing, which is you, if you're honest and objective. | |
| Yeah. | |
| My boombox CD player broke when my omnibus edition of H2G2 by Douglas Adams fell off a high shelf onto it. | |
| Still have all of that, including tapes and CDs. | |
| Oh, yes. | |
| Oh, you'd spend time putting together the perfect mixtape, which was a complete art. | |
| In itself, I think High Fidelity goes into that. | |
| The perfect mixtape was an art in and of itself. | |
| And then you'd play it a couple of times, and then you'd hear a terrible crinkling, like millions of voices cried out and were suddenly silenced. | |
| The perfect mixtape cried out and were suddenly silenced. | |
| And then you'd, with a fear in your heart, you would open the tape deck and you'd pull it out and all of this, it had been eaten. | |
| Ah, it was horrible. | |
| It was just how you used the pencil to scroll in. | |
| Oh, it was just terrible. | |
| Cut. | |
| All right, somebody says, this is the quote. | |
| Oh, what the hell happened there? | |
| This is the quote I was looking for. | |
| Okay, let's look at the quote that you were looking for. | |
| Sorry to be Joe Squinty here. | |
| But I could not find my mid-range glasses. |
