You should date my mother. [scoffs] Her last boyfriend turned out to be an Internet perv. She's very, very fragile, very, um-- "Oh, save me." Men like that, right, though? 'Cause at the end of the day they all wanna-- all wanna be a hero. Everyone just wants to feel important in life. Thing is, no matter how important they are, there's always gonna be someone more important. People get so uptight about that. Oh, no, they're better than me. It's like, God, they don't realize [whirring] important doesn't matter. It's confidence. When confidence breaks into the room-- [whirring stops] it wins every single time. Doesn't matter if it's real or pulling it straight out of their ass. People are dumb. They don't know the difference.

You see, I don't, uh-- I don't really have any friends at the moment. And to be completely honest with you, I'm not interested. At all. My entire generation is a bunch of mouth-breathers. They literally have a seizure if you take their phone away for a second. They can't communicate without emojis. They actually think that the world wants to know that they are "Eating a taco!" Exclamation point. Smiley face, smiley face, smile-- Like we give a fuck. [sighs] I am an old soul. I like old music and old movies and even old people. Bottom line is I have nothing in common with the people out there, and they have nothing in common with me.

You're a dick. Maybe nobody likes you, huh? You're always-- You're always in a shit mood. You're a really shitty teacher. You put zero effort into everything you do. And there's no way you're proud of that. Look at you. Look at-- Like, you do nothing. Look at your hair. You don't even-- You don't do your hair 'cause you don't have any hair. You're bald. You know what? You know why you're not married? Because bald men are gross and disgusting, and especially the ones that make $45,000 a year.

I didn't mean, like, completely bald, by the way. It's smart what you do there too. You kind of-- You kind of, you know-- I don't know. Do you poof it up a little bit? Give it a little zhuzh? I'm glad you circled back around and cleaned that up. It certainly made me feel better.
