Invent Yourself a Shortcake

?: It's a ridiculous question
Jeff: What is, okay, how do you feel about the digestion machine and what does the digestion machine mean to you?
?: The digestion machine means to me pretty much what the American corporate machine is. Stuff goes in at the mouth and comes out through a bunch of assholes as shit
?: Thank you
Jeff: Thanks, man
(Inaudible voices)
Jeff: Who are you?
Kid: A member of KISS, or a punk rocker
Jeff: What were you-
Kid: It's kind of funny, yeah . . . I would dress up like a punk rocker. But when I was, um, little-
Jeff: So what'd you do when you'd become a punk rocker?
Kid: I wore trash bags
I really love you, you really love me and the whole world ??? everybody, la la la
I really love you, you really love me and the whole world ??? everybody, la la la
?: I haven't much thought of that but, uh, I guess what the digestion machine means to me, uh-
?: She was my twin, she was my sister, she was my other half, she was myself. This is what love is. And love is-
?: Fuck you Jimmy Jam, fuck you Jimmy Joe motherfucking troll, fuck you. Brother Joe, you can suck this brother
?: It's because, love needs to be diluted. And that's why there's casual sex and hatred
Jeff: Thank you very much
?: You're welcome
?: Fuck you
Jeff: You can just start playing the bass first
Kid: What? How does this work?
Jeff: Go ahead, try to play it
Jeff: Did you pay attention, did you sing all the lyrics?
Kid: I did. Like that hard sound, it's stupid
(Laughter)
Kid: Every punk song starts out like that, you ready? You might not know it now but you'll realize it
Brian: Are you recording something?
Jeff: Yeah
Brian: Oh, sorry
Jeff: No, it's okay, you can talk. How do you- how do you feel, Brian?
Brian: Yeah
Jeff: How do you feel about the digestion machine and what does the digestion machine mean to you?
Brian: The digestion machine?
Jeff: Yes
Brian: Like one that digests food?
Jeff: What's the digestion machine?
Brian: Well, it's not bad. You know, they worked out the problems from the last model. They fixed the A4 slot so it seems to be going pretty smooth now. I say they got it all under control. Um, I'm really happy with the modern technology that's coming through nowadays. The best thing is it's not Japanese so-
