Somehow. Last weekend I was in the mood for one of the older westerns and when I go for an old western, when I'm in a mood for that, I always go to the Clint Eastwood movies. John Wayne, things too old never did anything for me. The clint eastwood movies, I guess pretty good, but am I the only one that I'm serious? Am I the only one that doesn't get them? I cannot remember sitting through an entire clint eastwood movie. I think what it is is I I get halfway through them and I lose the plot or the storyline in every single one of the Clint Eastwood movies. You know, which is especially sad, being the fact that they're all the same, same kind of concept, but I don't get them. You know, I think I like them for the scenery. I guess Clint Eastwood's interesting the outlaw, josie Wales you know I'm thinking about him right now Pale Rider and the Good, the Bad and the Ugly For a few dollars more Fist full of dollars. You know they all come back to you. I've seen them all, but I don't think I've seen them all in one sitting, or not even one of them in one sitting. I saw the latest, or have seen the latest Clint Eastwood movies Dirty Harry, that series, I didn't see any of that, no interest. The Mule, I saw Gran Torino, okay, pretty cool. You know, same Clint Eastwood as ever, just older, right? So am I stupid that I don't get them? I think I am. I think it's an ongoing research project that I have with myself and the research project is entitled Am I Stupid? I don't. I brought that up two times once in my past. Look, I don't get the Clint Eastwood movies, and you should have seen the looks I got. Whoa, you know, am I the only one that doesn't get Clint Eastwood movies? Quick side thought has Clint Eastwood ever laughed in any movie that he's ever done, or even smiled? Just thinking about that. You see him smiling in his little promo shots, his Hollywood movie things, and when he's at an award, something Smiling. But in a movie I don't think I've ever seen him smile Ever, not once. Same character the whole time, but always enjoyable. And is there ever a series or ever an actor whose movies could not conceivably enjoyed less by women? Think about it. The Clint Eastwood movies are that whole concept of the Clint Eastwood movies is one male, some bitch and concept. They're not a woman. I know that would ever sit first of all and watch a Western any Western but a Clint Eastwood movie. What girls like Clint Eastwood movies? Yeah, I'm just going to take a guess and say none.

Paint it with a brush. Listen, you got to have a pool in Arizona. I jumped in the pool the other day. I'm just saying it's not a luxury, it's a necessity, because it refurbishes you. You get in a pool for five minutes and you're good to go for two hours. And if you don't have a pool and you don't get in a pool and go outside at any time in the summertime, it'll beat you down to nothing in a matter of 15 minutes.

Blade: 4:07

Got to have a pool Jumped in and I got out and there's this water or something that's welled up in my ear, it's glommed up in my ear, and you get out of the water. You know it happens a million times in your life and you do the old shakeroo and you bounce up and down on one leg and, you know, beat the side of your head where the water has, you know, filled up in that ear. You know, and it works nine times out of ten. But it didn't work this time and two days later it was still there and I couldn't hear, got into the car and I, you know, turned on my sirius xm radio usually 22 and you know I couldn't hear it. I'm, it was bad man. I had to turn that thing up to like 38 to barely hear it.

So I went to the otolaryngologist or something. Hearing specialist they've got this ridiculous name that you can't pronounce, we've never, ever heard of. I mean, you just suffice it to call it a hearing specialist. I mean, I don't know what proctologist means, but everybody knows what one is. You know, we all know. You know, I know what an ophthalmologist is. It has something to do with your eyesight, I guess, and a lot of the other ophthalmologists, but I to do with your eyesight, I guess, and a lot of the other mologists, but I don't know what. A gone college, yeah, but anyway.

So I got to this hearing specialist and put a little something in my ear I don't know what it was, and I was holding this tub and she cleaned down my ear and all of a sudden, miraculously, I could hear like I could never hear before. And she said, wow, what a mess you had in your right ear. And I of a sudden, miraculously, I could hear like I could never hear before. And she said wow, what a mess you had in your right ear. And I took a look in the little tub that she used as a drainage thing and I saw two clumps of wax the size of well they were the size of, let's say, the the erasers on a number two pencil. I mean they were huge. That was in my ear. Yeah, gross, how does that stuff form in there? She said I don't know. Wow, and how's my other ear doing? Doc? Fine, clears the bell, you know. So wax just forms in your ear and that's all anybody can tell you. That's fine.

You know, I've seen on average three concerts, loud concerts, probably per week, you know, for 30 plus years over the years, you know. And then there's the bars on the other nights of the week and the clubs and the loud people screaming loud music. Never once wore a headphone, don't have a hearing problem, odd, huh, weird. But I've got these friends not too many of them that go to concerts and wear earplugs. It's like, what are you doing? It kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

Blade: 6:58

You go into a live and loud rock concert and you've got earplugs in. It's like you're telling me and everyone else around you that you don't want to hear the rock concert that you've just paid $85 for to see. You are saying I don't want to hear it, but I'm here, what the fuck you know, and I don't want to lose my hearing. Why would you be paranoid about something that may happen 40 years down the road? You know, good for you for preparing, I suppose, but you never get the full experience. And here's an idea when your hearing starts to go like it does for everybody, some sooner, some later get hearing aids. That's what everybody does. It's embarrassing. I went with a buddy of mine and he had earplugs into a Smashing Pumpkins concert 10, 11, 12 years ago or something. I'm like what the fuck are you doing Earplugs at a Smashing Pumpkins concert? Yeah, I want to preserve mine. Take that thing out. Here's the deal. If you wear earplugs to a rock concert, you shouldn't be there in the first place. Guitar solo, thank you.
