LINER NOTES
00:00 Introduction 02:24 I felt sick telling this story. I felt sick editing, too. I still feel very sorry for what I did. 03:14 I genuinely did try to do everything I possibly could to make sure that this was 100% accurate, but the way that memory works, I'm sure I got something wrong. 04:50 The fight with Justin wasn't the only thing that got me sent to Catholic school, but like I say, it was the final straw. 05:31 No, Mario isn't my grandfather. 08:15 Yeah, the uniform dude was creepy, and to this day I still don't know if it was just awkwardness or if he really did try to cop a feel. It still remains very ambiguous in my mind. Yes, he did call me portly. 10:21 The scene with the football coach is a little bit of an amalgamation of two different things that I merged together here for simplicity and storytelling's sake. The comments that the coach says are very much direct quotations from what was said to me. Still, it wasn't actually the football coach who had said it; it was the gym teacher/baseball coach, and he said them during gym class, not at football practice. 10:49 Can anybody guess what movie that audio is from? Leave it in the comments. 11:32 I used to space out all the time whenever there was third-period prayer. I know it must seem like overkill to run an entire third-period prayer in this video, and I should have just cut it down, but I wanted you guys to get the same experience that I had. Enjoy! 12:56 It really wasn't until I hit full-on adulthood that I realized just how awful and horrible that experience must have been for the teacher. I can't imagine the amount of pain that that caused her. 14:21 That is 100% a direct and real quote from the woman that Sister Josephine is based upon. 14:37 This incident happened, but it was in the stairwell, not a hallway and it involved a couple of kids from two grades above me who liked to pick on me a lot freshman year. I don’t think they threw as many pennies as depicted.15:09 If you're wondering about the horns, the answer is yes. His name is Kurt Cobain. 15:25 Joe Williams is a composite of three different people. 18:07 This was an actual conversation I had with a friend. We would frequently have these deep talks about race/ethnicity-related things. We didn't know the name for it at the time, but we would often compare notes about microaggressions that we experienced. These days, there's a lot of discourse on the concept of microaggressions, and folks who don't experience them will often say that they are just overreactions or people being overly sensitive. The problem is when you're a person who might experience lots of microaggressions, even though it might not be the direct intention, you do feel that cumulative weight. 19:51 As I was fact-checking this video, I actually think I was mistaken here in saying that the real person behind Mr. Presley graduated from our high school. Still, everything else is true. 20:04 That handsome fellow in the background is the legendary Pablo Barn Cat; he’s my wife’s favorite creature on our farm. 22:12 I’m considering creating an all-cat production of “The Greatest Story Ever Told.” Let me know if that interests you. 36:20 This is 100% true. Do some research and verify it for yourself. The man that Father Kerouac is based upon did work with the Warrens, and even more specifically, he was at the Lindley Street event. That is a fact. That said, I also think the Warrens were con artists and fakes. 38:30 There's a little compositing that takes place in this portion of the video. First, there were actually two separate incidents that happened very closely together that led me to my meeting in the real Father Kerouac’s office. One was the Bubcus incident as described. The other was about a different offensive comic I had drawn. I blended them together here for the simplified story’s sake. Second, the conversation goes pretty much to the best of my memory, but Father Kerouac didn’t tell me about the gunslinger and the monk. He was less metaphoric in his explanation of finding your place. But Rock102 was playing on his office radio, and he was really, at one point, the chaplain for the Hartford Whalers. He was a good dude.
