"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet. He's been dogged by allegations of child abuse and sexual assault among other things for decades. I haven't followed his cases, but he allegedly peed on a 13 year old girl and videotaped it (which was shown in court. He was acquitted). There are more allegations now, and he addresses them.

To get to the good stuff, his breakdown begins at around 5:30 in. It is freakin' hilarious. It shouldn't be because the accusations are of a serious nature, but this dude is so crazy, his reactions are straight out of an Eddie Murphy/Martin Lawrence comedy skit. Is he guilty of any or all? What do you guys think?


 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I vaguely remember that, but I haven't followed these stories either. How do you have video of peeing on a 13 year old girl and get acquitted? I suppose it might depend on what the charges were....

The dude sounds pretty stressed out on that video. They did a parody of it on the most recent Saturday Night Live, by the way.
