:24:01
It's a world where people depend
completely on their cars

:24:04
for transportation
:24:05
and where walking
has become such a chore

:24:07
that we rely on machines
to do it for us.

:24:11
My stomach
feels horrible this morning.

:24:14
It doesn't feel good at all.
:24:18
There we go.
:24:20
I’m getting this really weird
feeling right in my midsection,

:24:22
basically in my penis right now,
and it's just like this --

:24:29
It's really freaky.
:24:30
That is very odd.
:24:31
Yeah.
:24:32
It could be
from the caffeine,

:24:34
but I couldn't really
pinpoint that 100%.

:24:37
I have a delivery for Mr. Morgan.
:24:40
$13.39.
:24:41
$13.39.
:24:43
I made it
over the three-day hump.

:24:45
You know
how when you quit smoking --

:24:46
I don't know how many of you
out there smoke cigarettes,

:24:49
but you should stop.
:24:51
I quit smoking.
and there's the three-day hump.

:24:55
Three-day --
it's the three-day hump

:24:59
when you quit
smoking cigarettes.

:25:01
If you can make it
over those three days

:25:04
without smoking one cigarette,
:25:06
if you can make it past day one,
day two, day three, you're fine.

:25:10
Same thing with this.
:25:12
I made it past day three.
:25:14
I’m all right.
:25:15
Left unabated,
obesity would overtake smoking

:25:20
as the leading preventable cause
of death in this country.

:25:23
I was at this meal,
and it came up

:25:26
that one of the people
was a smoker,

:25:28
and somebody else at the table
started hectoring them about it.

:25:30
"What's the matter with you?
:25:32
"Don't you know
how bad it is for you?

:25:34
"It'll do this, that,
and the other thing to you,

:25:36
and you really should stop."
:25:37
And the smoker,
rather than saying, "fuck you,

:25:40
mind your own business" --
:25:41
Which, I think,
is the appropriate response --

:25:42
was abashed and defensive.
:25:44
"Oh, I tried to quit,"
:25:47
and, "yeah,
I'm gonna try again,"

:25:48
and "you're right,
you're right," and so on.

:25:50
At that same table,
there was a quite large woman,

:25:53
and I was wondering --
what if this guy,

:25:54
instead of confronting
the smoker,

:25:57
had said to the large woman,
:25:58
"What's the matter with you,
you fat pig?
