Transcript
00:12I'm trying to develop like certain strategies for dealing with the evil.
00:19You know, they say there's really no such thing as good and evil, but I, you know, I beg to
00:23differ.
00:23You know, I lived in a dumpster off and on here and there.
00:26You ever see that movie with the real creepy crazy guy who lives behind the dumpster?
00:32That's a real guy that's not like a, it's not symbolism or nothing.
00:35I'm not a witch, I never was, I don't really believe in that, but Santa Claus is a way for
00:40us to like, you know, get real clear about what we want in our lives.
00:43If I can write it down and wait in line at the mall and thinking about it for 35, 45
00:49minutes,
00:49then it's like I'm on the way to make it manifest.
00:52If you ever stayed in a flop house, you know, I don't have to tell you, there's no toilet
00:56paper.
00:57You can't go to, you can't go to the store and pick up the necessities, the bare necessities
01:00of life.
01:01You don't got those, but you rip a little insulation out of the wall, out of the, you know, between
01:05the exposed brick and you just wipe your butt with it, you know.
01:09I love those, I love those like fancy European toilets, you know, the ones with the seats.
01:14It's nice to add a little bit of dignity, it's a very undignified activity.
01:19You know, my maiden name's Gulahi, but I'm a Thompson, because it's just easier to pronounce.
01:26You know, nobody else had a problem with it but me.
01:28And why am I going to make life hard on myself, you know?
01:31You know, I don't have that SAT score and I don't want it.
01:33You know, I'm not, like what does it take?
01:35You know, okay, I can sit in a chair and I can circle all these things, but, you know,
01:39what's an aborigine, what do they got to do with me?
01:43Well a lot, turns out.
01:44Know your angles, and now that's like a double meaning, double entendre.
01:49Know your angles just means like know what's good about you.
01:52And then here's the other part, what's your angle?
01:54What's your scheme?
01:56You know, what are you getting at?
01:58My angle was always like, you know, what can I like, I was like a little, a little raccoon.
02:06What can I, uh, ferret out of your little pockets there?
02:08The only one that's truly fooling us day in and day out, once a year, Santa.
02:14You know, Barnum and Bailey said, every day a sucker's born.
02:18Well, every day a sucker is born who, uh, believes in Santa.
02:23It's like Original Sin.
02:24Maggie down the North End pool, oh man, she turns brown.
02:27She's Italian, you know, so I think technically she's white, I'm not 100% sure, but, you know,
02:33she, uh, she turns this, uh, this shade of mahogany, it's like a, you know, like coffee
02:38table that, down at the church, there's like real, real dark, but she wears a one-piece
02:42because she's a little fat.
02:43So she looks like a Cadbury egg, you know, with two brown sticks for legs.
02:47She's a school teacher, I think she scares the kids though.
02:50You know, I love summer because I love to stay active, I love to engage, uh, you know, in
02:54the world and nature.
02:56I'm not really hiding from, from the dope man today, you know, because I married him.
03:00We did get divorced, but it, you know, I'll see you in cause, where we used to say when
03:04we left, you know, we left for the day and, uh, he would go out and do his hustle, I'd
03:09go out and do mine.
03:10And, uh, we always, you know, come back for a TV dinner and, um, not really knowing who
03:16each other was, but that kept it, that kept it interesting, kept it exciting, like, who
03:20are you?
03:21Like, who are you?
03:21And then we'll laugh, you know, and take a nap, but, uh, they say summertime, the living's
03:26easy.
03:27Um, that's, yeah, that's, that's true.
03:31Business is booming for luxury condos here in the Bean, and, um, you know, I don't blame
03:35them.
03:35Rich people gotta live too, you know?
03:37I think once you turn a certain level of rich, you, you sort of become like, it's like you
03:41get allergies, you know?
03:43Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch.
03:45Dominoes, that's what I meant, dominoes, it's just a domino effect, you know?
03:48One thing leads to another and there you go.
03:49You lost all your money, your dignity, your values, your moral compass is cracked, doesn't
03:54work, and then, uh, you're hanging out with me.
03:59The proof is in the pudding, and there's a fortune cookie in there as well, and you crack
04:03that open, and what's the fortune say?
04:04It says, life is hard, but it's rewarding.
04:08It's pretty much more worthwhile.
04:08Then, we start the bubbling Ч Granada, a chi-ch-ch.
04:09We start back with most problems at the time of things.
04:09We start…
04:09changes in Oftentimes.
