sorry, my autism flared up
1:20 city planner Pat remarks that downtown MKE is going through a “reviTalization” because he saw cranes and some construction
2:08 says that the midwest is “eclectic” (lol) and culturally diverse (?) in regards to writing scene
3:20 Pat passive aggressively insults host, “you’re well read, but not as [well read as me]”
4:35 Pat says he is a Sci Fi writer and a “legitimate standup comedian”
6:20 “Our movemenT of nerds and geeks has been trying so hard to be taken seriously”… Talks about how he “runs” Cuthulu’s comedy collective, a nerdy standup comedy showcase. really strokes his ego
8:30 “ I just re wrote my very first novel… hitchhikers guide trilogy inspired me to be an author…..”
9:15 “I sent the first three chapters [of gatecrashers] to some friends as a goof and they said it was really good, then i created a whole universe”
11:30 sums up “the ark” in the most wordy, boring, clunkiest way possible
—bullshit filler—
15:00 pat defends himself against host’s passive aggressive insinuation that he was stealing other people’s writing ideas about generation ships LMAO.
17:00 pat attempts to riff on post apocalyptic storylines, very autistic
19:20 pat talks about how his beta readers and REAL reviewers for the ark cant decide if his book is utopian or dystopian. class systems and universal healthcare makes it hard to decide. WHO CARES.
RICKS MOST RETARDED MOMENT
20:40 “[the villain of the ark] is nihilistic, but he’s nihilistic because he thinks his ends are still accomplishing good, just not for the people on board the ship, he sees them as inherently bad.” ??????????
23:50 “Sometimes in real life, I dont examine everyone’s motivations, i just decide I don’t like somebody, maybe that’s irresponsible of me, but it’s true” HA yer kiddin no way
24:05 “[my book] is tied in with a lot of things we are facing [as a society] right now like the security state, income inequality, limited resources, unsustainable food production”
25:45 “my twitter handle is stealthy geek, because I love american football, not the footsies football they play in europe, ride motorcycles, drive a muscle car, I do things in other circles that are seen as traditionally masculine, I work out a lot, but I have a lord of the rings tattoo; im a nerd too”
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
28:05: “thats the end of the conversation…I hang out at sports bars, im gonna be watching the packers at my favorite place on sunday"
29:25 “I wore my aaron rodgers jersey and superbowl 45 hat to a convention and had people ask me, “are you lost”.. NO! im LITERALLY one of the presenTers”
30:25: evolutionary biologist Pat talks about how his characters are like “super heroes”. Worried about diabetes and inbreeding on the mothership. Needs 10,000 aaron rodgers clones
tldr- pat tries to come off as an authority figure on everything, lots of fake forced laughs as pat doesnt understand social cues, no riffing despite being a “legitimate comedian”, just pat larping as a successful author and jack of trades. the host could be a bigger (not fatter) faggot than rick, stupid psuedointellect, the I fucking LOVE science type. pretty god damned boring listen.
