he auction number so far is 10 times as much as the clean one. So in terms of collectibility the naughty one is 10 times more valuable. The real bidding won't happen until the last day of the auction so you can't really tell what it'll go for now. But I think it's May 1st is the last day of the auction. But the naughty one's up to $12,000 and there's not really a strong reason for anybody to bid…
← Previous segment →only times it's happened I was just beating the hell out of somebody. Now in both of those cases they were bullies who had been bullying me and I just reached a level where I needed to just beat the out of them in front of other people to make the problem go away. And which works wonderfully by the way. I don't recommend it in 2021. You'll just go to jail if you beat somebody up. But back when I was a kid if you just beat the out of somebody in front of witnesses it would solve your bully problem pretty well.
But I've noticed that neither the bullies fought back. They just took it. And I've noticed that not once in my entire life has anybody been in a physical confrontation with me that turned into a fight. And I've always wondered about that because in the comments by the way those of you who are male how many fights have you been in? It's not zero is it? It's not zero. But I would say I've been in zero fights where the other person is fighting back. I think zero. Yeah look at the numbers. That's what it's like to be a man, a man in America or anybody any place I guess. Look at the number of fights they've been in. Fifteen, fifty two, one, three, zero. I don't know how you did that but okay.
And I've always wondered if that's because I look scary to other people because I've always thought the scariest thing you could encounter is somebody who's not afraid of you. That's the scariest thing. Because if you get in a fight with somebody who's not going to ever quit and is not going to run away and is going to finish you off you don't want to be in that fight, right? And it doesn't even matter if physically you have more skills or whatever. You just don't want to get in a fight with anybody who's not going to ever quit.
And my view is there are only two kinds of fights that are worth having. One is the one you know you're going to win. That's worth having. And if it looks like you're going to lose you should run away and then come back and kill the person when they're not looking if it was worth fighting in the first place. So I would never get in a fight unless it was worth killing somebody which is probably why I've never been in the proper fight. If it's not worth killing somebody I'm not even going to get involved. And if it is worth killing them and they start winning I'm going to run away and then come back and kill them when they're not looking. That's my philosophy. If somebody's worth killing it's worth waiting. It's worth waiting.
So if there's anybody out there who's done anything to me that they think is worthy of me killing them just know that if it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. I'm willing to wait as long as it takes. You can't tell if I'm kidding and that's good.
If we've learned anything from President Trump it was that unpredictability is a natural advantage. So as long as you don't know that's to my benefit.
Getting closer to being cancelled are you? Are you tall? No I'm not tall which is a good question because if you're big people don't want to get in a fight with you.
Somebody says what he says Asperger's is a talent stack. Creator we have to learn more than others to fit in. Well Woody that's true. That's true. Yeah the one of the national assets we have in this country is all the Asperger's types because it's the strangest condition if you will which is it's very difficult for the persons who have it like it creates extra challenges socially etc. But they're sort of national assets. Like you know who is it that's inventing all the technology? There's just stuff that the Asperger's people are doing for America and for the world that's just insanely valuable.
Only losers hate when other people make money. How many of you are, by the way I know from history that I attract a lot of Asperger types for my content. How many of you are on the spectrum? This will be interesting. So take a second for the comments to come in. How many of you watching this right now are on the spectrum?
Now wait, do you see this? You're going to be surprised. Here it comes. I am. Yup. Nope. Yes. Not me. My wife says I am. Yes my son is. Not officially. Maybe my kid is. My husband barely on it. Yes. Yes. Nope. Me. Me. Me. Me. Open up. Nope. Crikey. Maybe. I think my husband could be. Could be. I suspect I am. Never diagnosed but I think I am. Yeppers.
Are you impressed? There's probably no group that I attract to my content more reliably than the Asperger's folks. Look at these comments. This is blowing your way isn't it? Because think about the percentage in the population in general and then look at my comments. Yeah it's filled with them.
Now part of it is somebody asked me the question in the comments if I'm Asperger's or if I'm on the spectrum. And the answer is I don't quite know. I don't quite know because it's not exactly well defined is it? My personal opinion is maybe not. But if I am I'd be sort of on the I don't know at one end of the scale a little bit maybe. I don't know. I feel not but I feel like I'm close enough that I feel like I'm within breathing distance of it meaning that I'm so compatible with it it would be hard to imagine I'm not on the spectrum. Is that a thing? Being compatible with the spectrum without bein

But I would imagine I'm not but I don't know. Gates here. All right so that's all for now and I will talk to you all tomorrow. And yeah it is interesting isn't it? It is interesting. That'll give you something to think about. Think about w…
