What's fucked up is for some people their experiences in high school define them You know I just watched that uh Stephen King movie it the most recent one with the clown Yeah, pretty fucking good But what one of the things that I was thinking when I was watching it was like how fucking mean kids are in school To each other I get you kind of forget about that and then you watch one of those movies about people being mean to people You're like oh, yeah, I remember Going around to get away from a guy that was picking on me that was fuck with me and like you would be scared of running Into him at the bus stop and scared of seeing him after school And that's how I got into martial arts in the first place. I got tired of being scared Scared of people I was in martial arts and I was still fucking scared Funniest thing about the movie it was that it fucked with clowns So two months later a bunch of clowns got together one on strike They went downtown and they had a parade Not a parade. What do you call when people get together and and they fucking have signs This is right after that movie was released whenever that movie was released a Month later two months later a bunch of clowns in the in the California area got together downtown and picketed Stephen King because they were losing work as clowns Because they had lost a bunch of clowns got canceled they lost all their clown season work or some shit I read the book a long time which one it I remember I was like man How are they gonna make a movie out of this and they made a movie out of it way back in the day with John Boy from the Waltons remember the dude with the mole in his face. Yeah a ponytail in it I watched it the other night on TV just flipping through the channels And it was after a couple days after I'd seen the the most recent version of it. It was hilariously bad It was so stupid, but it was John boy with the Waltons and might have been How many versions of that it movie did they make? That was it just two? The first one was the first one with Tim the guy from the Rocky Horror Picture Show That was who the clown was Yeah, it was so stupid Wasn't scary at all I mean that not even remotely but the new one was pretty fucking scary Well, Stephen King dog is a fucking crazy motherfucker. We both read on writing. Yeah, we both Did you see my son's anneke? Yeah, no, he went they contact me like we want you to be on sons anneke He's like listen, the only way I'll be honest. I was a second. It's like if I could ride my motorcycle They had to go back and forth like we don't need you. Is it what I just tell you If I go on son's anneke, I had to ride my motorcycle So he played a creepy guy that makes you disappear after they kill you Really like he comes in and measures you like you're on the floor dead And he walked in measure you and tell you what he needs. I need a rope. I need some gasoline I need a corporate car. I also need a selection of 70s classic rock And then you disappear when you come back There's nothing there and they walk them out. He tells you what you want. How much 800 you pay him the 800? If you only have six he'll look around the room. He'll just take like a statue He'll just walk out of your house Ties the statue on the motorcycle. He was classic on sons anneke You know The crazy thing about him was that his battle coming back from getting hit by that guy in a car He was walking. I think was in Maine, right? He was walking and some guy wasn't paying attention and Fucking hit him in his car and just destroyed his body like just destroyed his body like I Mean he was fucked up for Motorcycle on a motorcycle. Yeah Shatter is no. No, he was walking He was just walking and we got hit by a guy in a van So when I read that I think you turned me on to it when I read that Chapter on Carrie how he had written Half a carry and threw it away And his wife found it and made him finish it and it was about a girl with a period or something crazy And like I was in shock great book. Carrie is a great book, right? Carrie and kujo my favorite Stephen King books Kujo till this day. I have it. I look at it and I respect it. It's like cocaine I don't even open that book. I just look at it and touch it from time to time and I go Oh, I don't know if I want to get into that thing No, it's a great book that they did like the the movie version of it. It's just like Was pet cemetery pet cemetery is a book. There's some things about books, you know, I hate the cliche that books are better Well, the books better, but what is? Interesting about books is there certain things that you shouldn't really see you should only imagine Like they were they work out better in them in your imagination Like there's something much creepier about them in your imagination
