Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's like an electronic dance music song.

We played it before, many times.

God, I can't believe it's like... Beardy Man.

Beardy Man, thank you.

This guy, Beardy Man, put it to music, and it's hilarious.

I've got to check it out.

It's amazing.

I mean, it's a tragic story in a lot of ways, but in his prime, the writing that he did was, in many ways, it was the narration of an era.

No, it's fantastic.

Yeah.

Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail.

And he also had this freedom that was very different from all his other reporters because he was a one-time guy.

He was going to go in there and follow the campaign for the entire time and then wrote this book about it.

Well, imagine you're doing this boring thing, which is following a bunch of fakers as they're telling you how they're going to change the country, which you know they're not really going to do because you've been doing this for 20 years.

Absolutely.

And then along comes the guys like, let's do acid.

Come on, pussies.

And all of a sudden, you've got this fucking maniac who's drinking and saying wild shit and writing wild shit.

And he doesn't have to be held to the same standards as everyone else because he knows it doesn't matter.
