Everything else? Everything else. Wearing clean underwear every day? Well, that's just a personal decision.
Brushing your teeth? Obviously smart, but not a rule.
Never pee-pee on an electric fence.
Okay, maybe there are two rules, but the one that is 100% that I insist on completely, Jagermeister, must be drank ice cold. Or don't drink it at all. Damn, that's cold. Exactly. You're finally starting to get it. Drink responsibly.

Chris, you should know better than to agitate your father as soon as we're starting what we're doing here. You come into the room and your dad has limped in with a cane and you're badgering him about... You get emotional these days about anything and you say... You weeped on the podcast. And I really thought your father was going to correct you there and say it's wept, kid. I'm a writer. I thought he was going to be offended. He didn't do that. He said weeped is too strong.
How does Greg describe the significance of weeping versus sobbing?
Fought back a tear or two is how he would phrase it. So why are you getting so emotional and fighting back tears but not weeping?
Okay. There's an obvious line there. Everybody knows it. When you weep, you're like openly, almost sobbing. Weeping is the neighbor of sobbing.
It might be the neighbor of sobbing, but it's not a synonym with sobbing. Weeping is the stop before sobbing.
Okay, I think they're neighbors. I think they're exchanging cups of sugar. End of the cul-de-sac. They're friendly.
They're on the same street, but end of the cul-de-sac.
Okay, weeping and sobbing to me, you go, woo-hoo!
That's sobbing.
Okay. Well, to me, that's weeping. That's being a sissy.
To me, weeping is just like... I wept.
