my my son and I had a an evening planned where we were going to watch a one of those DVDs they're
like CDs but they're not they light up and so here's what it was it was going to be first it
was going to be Herby the Love Bug well we we we didn't have a copy of Herby the Love
Bug uh so then he thought okay let's watch something called snowman I don't know what
snowman is and I says is it Frosty the Snowman and he says no but it's a lot like Frosty okay I
I got to tell you I'm not looking forward to something a lot like Frosty but that's that
that so we put it in the machine and and you may not know it by looking at me but I know
nothing about technology honestly I got a clock radio to me that's pushing the envelope that's
um so we Slide the the disc in and we settle back he hops into bed now and we're going to
watch a snowman it's a lot like Frosty um for a brief moment the thing turns on and that then
that's it that's that's all we got out of the machine I I can't turn it off cuz it's already
off I can't turn it on and what it has done as you know it's it's it's like one of those giant
snakes uh down in Brazil where periodically you see that it's swallowed a cow yeah uh anaconda
or something yeah and they have to again the kids get get out of school to go see them hack
the cow out of the SN uh things are different in South America uh so so now it's got our copy of
the Snowman that's going to be our e evening's entertainment and I can't get it out I can't
get it to light up it swallowed the damn disc yeah that's so as you know with a six-year-old
the clock is always ticking on patience how how patient will the child be that Daddy's a
dumbass so I I said I said can you go upstairs and just bring me down like a a butter knife
and okay so he runs upstairs come back down and so now I'm you know I'm prying and then
then I think think I better unplug this bastard because sure as hell I'm going to be knocked in
the putham county okay uh so I unplug everything and and now I have bent the knife the knife is
now now I'm really I'm really just uh uh I'm crazy and I said
uh two things I said Harry uh go get me a hammer and step out of the room uh so
uh he he brings me the hammer he goes to the far
corner of the room goes to a goes to a neutral corner corner I I take the
device out I put it on a a solid uh uh level surface and I just beat the crap
up just it it explodes and there's stuff flying everywhere I pull the
son of a [ __ ] open I stick my hand down in there and there's all this copper imprinting
wiring soldering junk and down shifted off to the corner of the box is the the the DVD so
I get it out of there and of course it's all bent and scarred up from the hammer
blows so now I realize that my six-year-old son has seen daddy behave this way you know
and and and typically I you know those were the old days I used to do that all the time
oh but I I haven't done it in a long time I just couldn't stand it anymore that this
damn thing was getting in the way of what we were going to do for the even yeah uh so
so now Harry gets the vacuum cleaner and he's he's helping he say wow look at all this stuff
well now we know what they look like inside well that's uh and and so we get everything
put away and he uh I said now now I said I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I I I shouldn't behave
that way and I'm so sorry I behaved gave that way in front of you and he says it was kind of
cool he says it was like a maniac [Applause]
show out
there and so it was just like a maniac show so we got us another
DVD player and watched Monsters Inc hey okay all right [Music] a
