Yes, I am annoyed by things before other people are annoyed by things, and then eventually it takes people collectively a while to be annoyed as a society, and then something gets changed.

You have an article there about leaf blowers, which is something I've been fucking yelling about for 10 years, but no one will listen to me.

I had a chapter...

In my last book, In 50 Years We'll All Be Chicks, called Why I Hate L.A., and it got pulled out of the book because my editor lives in New York.

There is a certain amount of, I'm a chick and I live in New York, so I don't know what you're talking about, so it's not any good.

There's a lot of that.

That's the audience of his books, too, Chicks in New York.

It'd be kind of like if somebody, you said, well, why don't we start a network called ESPN and some chick in New York went, who's going to watch sports?

I'm not into sports.

Well, everybody feels that way.

Look, if you go out and you eat at a sub sandwich joint and you think it's subpar, which would be a horrible name for your sub sandwich joint.

My favorite was a place in Canoga Park called The Subcontractor.

All us building guys used to go there.

But Subpar, horrible name for a chain of sub-sandwich joints.

But if you go there and you eat it and it doesn't taste good to you, then you're just going to tell everyone, oh, that's no good.

You never go, my personal opinion is that they don't make a good sandwich.

You just go, they make a horrible sandwich, and you move on.

So when you don't get something or you don't understand it, you don't go, my personal opinion is...

I don't care for it.

You just go, no one's going to like this.
