So what's your take? People who spell the word "crazy" with a K instead of a C are not as crazy as they think they are. It's actually surprisingly common, uh, to make that move. 100% agree. If you spell it with an X, that I think would be crazy. I put it where the—where the Z is—where the—so C-R-A-X-Y. Cracky? No, it's crazy. Still, that reaches the level of being demented.
What's the craziest thing you've ever done? It must have been that one time in 1972 when I ran for president of the United States of America. And you know, the thing about it is, I didn't—I ended up not qualifying because I wasn't alive yet.
You weren't alive? I wasn't alive. And so I was, uh, deemed ineligible to run for office.
That's crazy, damn, that's crazy. Crazy, yeah, that is crazy.
