You guys are all well aware that the the genius Prince died. Did you guys see
that? Do you get that in your papers?
So anyways out here in Beverly Hills, they're having an auction on one of his
guitars
It's a yellow one that he did. Oh, what how many fucking times I got to type in
my fucking password? Come on
Maybe because I can't fucking remember it like that fucked it up again
Third time to jump
Hmm I have to hum what it is or I fuck it up
Imagine being this dumb and actually fucking having your own gym. It's kind of
dangerous, isn't it? All right, so he um
They're auctioning off one of his guitars. It was the one that he used with the
the new power generation the cream album, I believe
And somebody bought it a few years ago. I can't believe it was even for sale,
but some guitar collector admittedly doesn't play him
He just collects him. He paid 30 grand for this fucking thing
So he says
I should read this word for fucking word. This is so fucking priceless
He and he says like the reason why he's selling it
Is because you know, it's become
You know with the passing of prince, it's become so valuable
Um, that he's actually nervous to have it
He's nervous to own the fucking thing, right, which
It's fucking it's just like dude, why don't you just say you know what the guy
fucking just died
Everybody's paying attention. This is a great time to sell this fucking guitar.
I'm trying to make money
Offer this guy's death
um
Why can't you just say that you know, there it is princess guitar
All right, I gotta read what this guy said, it's just so why there's nothing
wrong with it. You want to make a buck
Just you know, the guy died and i'm trying to make fucking money off of it. All
right
Um
yellow car
Okay, he goes i've been a prince fan since I was a little kid and that guitar
always stuck out to me because it was super cool and stylish
Said the current owner he paid about 30 grand for it. He said unfortunately as
morbid as it is when people pass their items become more valuable
I think something as valuable as this could be too risky to continue to have in
my possession
He's worried about his safety get the fuck out of here, man
You're trying to make some money trying to make you try to make some money
That's so fucking creepy
It's a really cool looking guitar, but I don't think I could own a guitar of a
dead person
Who was way better at playing than i'll ever be?
Um
I feel like that should be in like the rock and roll hall of fame so people can
just go and look at it
Stay in your house. How fucking weird would that be?
Just having people over and people going is that is that yeah, that's prince's
guitar
I would immediately be whispering to my wife going this guy fucking killed him.
Let's get out of here. What the fuck does he have his guitar?
It immediately creep me out
But that's me, you know, i'm a paranoid son of a bitch who wants a fucking two-story
garage
Sue me do I not have any fucking reads this week?
I think i'm out of advertisers. I don't know if you guys have noticed but i've
slowly but surely pissed all of them off
um
Oh, well, well, maybe maybe I do have some advertising. He just hasn't sent it
Nope, i'm hitting the refresh button. I don't fucking see it now. You know what?
Why are they so sensitive don't they understand that if I shit on it?
You guys actually listen to it and then maybe you'll buy it as opposed to just
fast-forwarding through all of it
That's what I try to do. I mean i'm just you know, i'm trying to help them make
money
All right now. What the fuck you gonna do speaking of guitars?
You know, I played for about five six years and then I stopped over the last
couple years when the downstairs was being redone
And then I recently got back into it, but you know, this is the deal. I play
drums. I fuck around on guitar
and um
I've always wanted one of those lemon burst fucking uh les pauls. I'm trying to
find one a left-handed one
I just think it's fucking
I don't know, but you know what kills me whenever I get to get a guitar
especially a les paul
I just start thinking of all the fucking great music i've
I've heard coming out of that thing and then when I pick it up, it's just like
oh jesus
Am I the asshole that just bought a fucking guitar he doesn't deserve? I think
I am
