:39:24
Thank you. Wonderful, wonderful.
:39:27
Folks, what can I tell you
about my next guest?
:39:31
This cat allowed himself
to be adored, but not loved.
:39:35
And his success in show business
was matched by failure
:39:38
in his personal-relationship bag.
Now that's where he really bombed.
:39:42
And he came to believe that work,
show business, love, his whole life,
:39:46
even himself, and all that jazz, was bullshit.
:39:49
He became numero uno game player,
:39:52
to the point where he didn't know
where the games ended and reality began.
:39:57
Like, to this cat, the only reality...
is death, man.
:40:02
Ladies and gentlemen, let me lay
on you a so-so entertainer,
:40:06
not much of a humanitarian,
and this cat was never nobody's friend.
:40:10
In his final appearance on the great stage
of life - you can applaud if you wanna -
:40:14
Mr. Joe Gideon.
