0:01

if you spent any time in this world you

0:04

know there's a hell of a lot of crazy

0:07

and it comes in many different forms but

0:09

of all those different forms of crazy

0:12

there's one that's Head and Shoulders

0:14

Above the Rest and this is the kind of

0:16

crazy that you want to avoid at all cost

0:20

I'm talking of course of the infamous

0:22

batshit crazy which I'm going to tell

0:25

you all about so you can avoid as much

0:30

that [ __ ] crazy as

0:34

possible if you work for a living why do

0:38

you kill yourself

0:40

working before I start this episode

0:42

talking about crazy I wanted to mention

0:45

something that's probably not so crazy

0:49

you I am and always have been a quality

0:52

over quantity kind of guy and although I

0:55

may not have a great number of listeners

0:58

at least I know that the ones I do have

1:01

are intelligent and how do I know that

1:05

because you're not [ __ ] thin skinned

1:07

and easily offended you have character

1:10

the kind of character that's only Built

1:13

by making it through really hard [ __ ]

1:16

times so you continue to listen to me as

1:20

apparently you realize I've seen and

1:22

been through some very hard times in my

1:25

life and I wanted you to know I

1:28

sincerely appreciate that

1:30

as any of you can tell I am just about

1:33

to hit my 100th subscription Mark and I

1:36

can't even describe how great that makes

1:38

me feel and quite literally there is no

1:42

damn way I could have achieved this

1:44

without you so I'll just keep trying to

1:47

improve the show as best I know how and

1:51

although I sincerely appreciate you

1:53

subscribing the absolute best compliment

1:56

you can give me is to tell a friend so

2:00

again thank you very much now to the

2:04

episode I was thinking about all the

2:06

different things that are batshit crazy

2:09

to tell you about let me tell you it

2:12

wasn't easy of course we have the

2:15

idiotic ritual we go through every four

2:18

years of hiring a new corporate puppet

2:21

that's the most convincing at telling us

2:24

how much they care though engaging in a

2:28

serious conversation of about what Trump

2:31

can and wants to do for the country is

2:34

about as appealing as slowly drinking

2:37

down a full glass of

2:39

gasoline and the next same thing applies

2:42

to Harris although in her case I'll

2:46

switch it to bleach because we've got to

2:49

have something to tell them

2:51

apart so I've decided to talk to you

2:54

about my batshit crazy neighbor Stan I

2:59

believe you're really going to like this

3:01

especially if you've ever had or

3:04

currently have a batshit crazy neighbor

3:09

yourself Stan is badshit crazy I have

3:13

known that he is badshit crazy for

3:16

several years and I do all I can to

3:20

avoid his batshit crazy

3:24

ass one of the many things that makes

3:26

Stan batshit crazy which is a Telltale

3:31

sign of bat [ __ ] crazy is his utter

3:34

refusal to acknowledge reality he simply

3:38

refuses to acknowledge that not only am

3:42

I not his friend but I actually want

3:46

nothing to [ __ ] do with him

3:49

whatsoever yet whenever the opportunity

3:52

arises like if I'm working on the front

3:55

lawn or working outside the front of my

3:58

house on my car or garage or whatever he

4:02

comes over Uninvited and starts talking

4:05

to me like I'm a good friend he's known

4:08

for 30 [ __ ]

4:10

years in my younger days I would have

4:13

just knocked the living [ __ ] out of him

4:16

and I think even that stupid bastard

4:19

would get the message but alas those

4:22

days are gone to give you an idea of how

4:26

[ __ ] dense this doofus is a few

4:29

months ago he came over on my lawn when

4:32

I was busy and just did what he usually

4:36

does start blithering about something

4:40

that I have absolutely no [ __ ]

4:43

interest in

4:45

whatsoever so one day I decided to say

4:48

something to him that wasn't vulgar or

4:51

physically threatening I said Stan you

4:55

are living proof that your mother

4:58

apparently did did not have health

5:00

insurance that included

5:03

abortion I totally expected a normal

5:06

pissed off reaction something like [ __ ]

5:09

you and walk away nope not St he looked

5:14

at me with a puzzled expression twisted

5:17

his head to the side you know just like

5:20

a [ __ ] dog does and said huh that's

5:25

exactly what he did I'm not [ __ ]

5:28

exaggerating

5:30

but another big reason once I got to

5:33

know Stan is that he's a [ __ ] user

5:39

parasite Stan has been my neighbor for

5:42

around 15 years but I've despised him

5:46

for about 14 of those when I first got

5:50

the place he seemed friendly enough and

5:52

as I was doing lots of things to the

5:55

house outside we got to know each other

5:58

and one of the things things he started

6:00

talking about was his car and all the

6:04

problems it had this is after I told him

6:08

that I used to be an auto mechanic and

6:11

then of course he not only subtly

6:14

proposed I work on his [ __ ] car for

6:17

free of course because we were

6:20

neighbors I explained to him politely

6:24

that I don't work on cars anymore other

6:27

than maybe my own to which batshit crazy

6:31

Stan

6:32

responded okay okay well could you just

6:38

fix or if I got the parts would

6:43

you on top of all this here's another

6:47

point that makes Stan utterly bad [ __ ]

6:50

crazy after all these years he still

6:53

refuses to stop asking me to work on his

6:58

[ __ ] car despite the fact that he has

7:01

never not once even offered me so much

7:04

as a beer let alone invite me over for a

7:09

barbecue I subtly mentioned a barbecue

7:12

once because and this was several years

7:15

ago I was actually considering fixing

7:18

something on his stupid [ __ ] car if

7:22

he would demonstrate even the slightest

7:25

interest in doing something for me you

7:28

know that whole symbiotic relationship

7:31

thing otherwise known as Tit for Tat

7:35

quidd pro quo you do for me I do for you

7:39

the basis for [ __ ] humans human

7:42

civilization you know that kind of

7:46

[ __ ] but the best I got out of him was

7:49

oh [ __ ] yeah I I love the barbecue you

7:53

go out and buy the meat and charcoal and

7:56

I'll see if I can cook us something off

8:01

thinking this had to be a [ __ ] joke I

8:04

added oh and what about the beer and

8:08

very eagerly he responded oh yes by all

8:11

means we've got to have some beer pick

8:14

us up some beer

8:16

too us I thought he wants me to do three

8:21

or four hours of work on his [ __ ] car

8:24

for free and he won't even provide me

8:27

with a cookout yeah this guy's totally

8:32

batshit

8:33

crazy and I avoid that like the [ __ ]
