Welcome to What’s The Matter With Me? Podcast Season 6 Episode 32, “Disability Consciousness”
In this episode, I reflect on the time I said something ableist to someone I admire, the drummer in deerhoof, what I might say (or not) now that I’ve spent some time working on my disability consciousness. I hope I might come up with something better. Also, Botox, falling and the first law of success, “Do You!”
Disability Consciousness
One time I ate with deerhoof and I said something ableist
Because I didn’t yet have disability consciousness
How it is in Hayward
How it is in Hayward across from El Pollo Loco…
It’s weird when the Garden Center is a cinderblock building with no windows
RIP
rip gorbachev – gorby – commie pinko
rip chowhound
Extra
I had Botox
It’s a lot of injections
Shout Outs
shout outs to Kevin at Under the cowl of MS. He mentioned What’s The Matter With Me? Podcast and Hoppin Hot Sauce in one of his YouTube videos. Kevin reviews comic books
Williams Sonoma reordered Hoppin Hot Sauce for the western region
Mention Hoppin Hot Sauce and What’s The Matter With Me? Podcast in any and all settings
shout outs rocky and claude hopper for technical support- as always, if you see something say something
Do You
#1 in Russell Simmons’ Laws of Success is “Do You!”
Falling
I have been falling a lot. One time I was flicking the switch in the bathroom and i ended up facing the wall with my back to the toilet
Deerhoof Show
I want to go see deerhoof in San Jose at the ritz in October, on october 22
Should I take my wheelchair?
Do you want to meet me there?
They are playing San Francisco the night b4 but I like going to things in San Jose
Black T Shirt
I had Botox
It’s quite a lot of injections
The nurse talks to you and the doctors say “123 poke”
In my trapezius- shoulder area, in my pectoral area, in my bicep and forearm
Of course I was wearing a white tee shirt not a black one
Note to self: wear a black t shirt for Botox
The injections get stronger over a week and then they last about 6 weeks before trailing off
I showed them my puppet video In the kitchen
Happy Birthday Nathan
I said something
One time I ate with deerhoof and i said something ableist
I didn’t have disability consciousness
one time I ate brunch with the member of deerhoof at a cafe called Brown on the lower East Side
I was dating a woman who knew them
The drummer appeared to have something like torrette’s syndrome
He said things and made sounds and physical motions that were Kind of like tourettes
I didn’t have a lot of disability consciousness back then
I think I asked him, “Hey man, what’s wrong with you?”
The guitar player was also there and he just giggled
It was awkward
I had lived with someone already who had Tourette’s syndrome so I recognized the signs but lacked disability consciousness to form my question properly
I think if I had it over again I would probably not ask anything
Or I could say what I observed, like something like, “I notice that you are moving a lot and making sounds.”
And maybe that would be enough to get whatever answer I felt that I needed
It’s kind of like asking someone that you observed many rolls of flesh and pendulous thighs and expecting them to tell you they’re fat.
I certainly wouldn’t ask him Hey man what’s wrong with you
I think if I had it over I wouldn’t ask him anything
My son is getting bullied and I had botox. Plus, the Sam Kinison Auto Parts Jingle
Welcome to What’s The Matter With Me? Podcast Season Six, Episode 19, “Bullies and Botox.”
Shout outs to mom who drove me to Botox and nagged me the whole time. But, she apologized, and said she liked the Why Be Normal? episode
Trigger warning: At the end, I’ll do all the stuff about needles.
You’ll be half an hour closer to death when this episode is finished
My son is interacting with some bullies at school and he mentioned that he is glad they didn’t know I have MS or they’d bully him more
I worked out again
I wore shorts in San Leandro for the first time since I moved here
I said Guy Clarke‘s name wrong in the last episode, instead I said Guy Davis the blues revivalist actor guitarist- so I sampled myself saying Guy Clark and overwrote it. Did you catch that?
The girlfriend in M. Night Shyamalan’s movie “Old” had multiple sclerosis
I had Botox in my trapezoid, pectoral, bicep, forearm, wrist and thumb areas and when they did my thumb they sprayed my thumb with cold stuff at the same time as the injection
That was similar to the periodontist spraying my soft palate with capsaicin when they injected it with Novocain
