i've never believed in ghosts or spirits

pointy things to say even if it isn't a

comic strip

moment of my life

[Music]

[Music]

so what is your story do you always have

to do that to show up out of the blue

should i knock next time

nice flowers

yeah i thought i'd add some color to the

place

what are you writing

a travelogue i traveled around the world

for six

months after i quit my job

what did you used to do

i was an investment banker on wall

street

so you're one of the guys behind the

whole financial meltdown

i do wish that i got out of that world

sooner

but it's like a drug once you realize

that you're hooked

it's too late tell me

conning hard-working people into

throwing their

life savings into homes they can't

afford

how do you sleep knowing

that most of those people no longer have

those homes to go back to

you bankrupt the good old us of a you

get a big fat bonus check that covers

your ass for the next what

god that was 20 years you just quit the

scene and jet off to some exotic

location to go on some

[ __ ] self-discovery now you come

back

and try to feed us another pile of crap

in this form of a

soul-searching travel lock written by

you

a former investment banker that had no

soul to begin with

yeah that's right running back to your

wall street buddies they'd love to have

you back

we'll do that for

to see if you're real no one said

anything that brutally honest to me in a

while

yes hey

sorry if i scared you the other day i

thought it would knock this time

what do you want

just someone to talk to

do you talk to the others the the

carringtons no way

i don't see anyone around here that i

feel like talking to

but you look like someone who might care

okay this is really new to me this whole

talking to ghosts thing

you've been talking to ghosts

well that is what you call yourselves

over there right over where

we're not that far apart see

not anymore i'm right here where you are

see the camera just even capture you

right

uh oh well

i need to break it to you but you're

gonna need a new phone this one's ready

for the junkyard

see there i am

where are you

uh

[Music]

oh

okay

i feel cold

[Music]

i don't want to be here

[Music]

where do you want to go

you ever thought of having kids

yes and no

i never thought that i could be a

capable mom

i can't even stay in a relationship

i almost got married once

then two months before our wedding

i find out that my fiance is cheating on

me

yes i was lucky that way

daryl's such a family-oriented guy

you really wanted to have a baby

i tried for two years

and i got pregnant

we're not celebrating the good news over

dinner

and we got into that cab

she's five weeks pregnant

i'm so sorry

what are you gonna do with your life

i really wish that i knew the answer to

that

are you going to stay

i think i'm gonna stick around for a bit

well someone should really do something

about these giraffes

they're absolutely hideous

you seem to be getting used to living

with roommates

how long have you been here

how long

not long enough for me to figure out how

to turn back the clock

do you have a family

yes i have a wife

and a two-year-old daughter anjali she

turns through

she turns

13.

this spring

do you still see them how could i

it was my dream

to come to this country

to have a better life to have my

daughter have a better education

but i crushed that dream when i crashed

that car

and i left i left them alone

to fend for themselves

how how could i possibly

ever face them

you know all those funny stories but

taxi drivers who are engineers in their

home countries

are those funny stories

they're not so funny if they're actually

true

[Music]

so

hey i found this in the room upstairs

it's a beautiful song what's it called i

don't know

i just picked it up and my hands started

moving

keep playing

do

do

do

[Music]

so think i'd like to be called jeff

jeff with the g jeff

why jeff i know it just sounds like

sounds like the kind of name a guy who

plays the guitar in half

how about jeff blank

the man with no memory of his past

i like that starting over

on a blank slate

[Applause]

hey sleepyhead it's your turn

what would the world look like if we

could only see through money

r e f r e

s h

refreshing that's 19 points

not bad

so what did you do for a living

enlightenment is man's emergence from

his own self-imposed immaturity

immaturity is his inability

to use his understanding without the

guidance of another

now this immaturity is self-imposed if

its cause lies

not in a lack of understanding but in

lack of resolve

and courage to use one's understanding

without the guidance of another

audi dare to know

have courage to use your own

understanding that

is the motto of enlightenment

immanuel kant i

taught philosophy at ubc to other

tormented souls like myself

torment that's 18 points

thanks for that

so did you enjoy teaching

you mean the thrill of failing my

students papers

i was more to indulging myself in my own

research

the description of nature can't bore

and the new metaphysics of science

you see the human mind is the last

frontier

and the great mystery of life

case in point what were the boys in wall

street thinking

when they cooked up this whole

disastrous alchemy of finance

we knew that it was coming to a meltdown

even a year before the financial crisis

but nobody was supposed to say anything

you weren't going to be the

whistleblower in this whole

financial debacle

you could have been the joan of arc of

wall street

i can't do better judgment i suppose all

i could do

was leave

i was fought with this emptiness that

was just eating away at me

and then 9 11 just threw me into the

fire

i watched the towers come down with my

own eyes

[Music]

i was in my office on wall street

and i remember the boss was yelling at

the traders to just keep trading because

anything to do with planes had to do

with oil prices

then we could see the smoke and the ash

just developing

i us thinking what the [ __ ]

is wrong with this guy

it just all felt like a horrible dream

i knew that that's not where i was meant

to be

[Laughter]

i needed to get out

but i was scared

i stayed for another seven years

and when the financial crisis hit enough

was enough

my life was too short

and i needed to do something that was

that was more fulfilling than just

making money on wall street

life is too short i can't disagree on

that one

would you still choose to be a professor

of philosophy if you had another shot at

it no

i would be a world champion player

you know in high school

i wanted to be a poet i would

keep this poetic journal of my life in

school

rather than a diary

i just love that magical chemistry

between words

so who is your favorite uh

magical alchemist

dreaming of a spring night flowers bloom

out of season

that is definitely at the top of my list

of favorite poems

octavio paz and audre

lorde i always wanted to be a soccer

referee

hmm you get to see the game from the

field

well you don't get to pick your own

teams but

there's no pressure to try to win

you just have to do your best

to be fair

[Music]

[Music]

i thought i saw the baby cat

maybe she's still there

you think

[Music]

laughs

[Music]

sir you okay

shut up and drive

[Music]

[Music]

uh

do

so like so like to come back home

i don't live here oh no

not near this house but this place this

is your home right

yeah i grew up in the city

you know my mom doesn't even know that

i'm home

actually she doesn't know about a lot of

things

so

that's your style then and going places

life in motion

on the road

yeah it's strange you know it's

like that's my comfort zone

being anywhere but somewhere that i can

call home

actually

no

i hate it

i hate it

i've been gone too long

uh

[Music]

[Music]

she's pregnant for christ saying jesus

would you relax

just a couple of sleeping pills should

be fine in the morning

[Music]

how can you do this to your own family

the [ __ ] is wrong with you kevin

you think you can always get what you

want huh

[ __ ] you [ __ ] you kevin

what else haven't you told me daryl i'm

sorry

i'm sorry you always been gay

what am i am i just some sort of cover

i love you really

[Music]

i am just a [ __ ] trophy aren't i the

baby and i are both just [ __ ]

trophies

to make you look like a real man

i'm not gonna defend myself liz

but daryl does love you and he wanted

that baby

what the [ __ ] do you know about love

kevin

huh you're you're you're a closeted [ __ ]

who has no sense of moral ethics

you're pathetic kevin you know that

you're [ __ ] pathetic

okay you think you're better than all of

us you you you hide behind that elitist

world you

want your self-importance in front of

everyone at least i haven't made my

life's ambition to have a baby hey [ __ ]

you kevin

that's our baby you're just jealous that

you can't hunt for yourself

i had something for myself you took it

away from me

what the hell are you talking about evan

james

[Music]

what evan james

we were fishing by the lake one day and

he told me how he lost his virginity to

my own little sister

lizzy on how it made him feel like a man

remember wishing

that you would just die

so i could have him to myself

so now you steal my husband from me to

take revenge on some

[ __ ] up childhood fantasy that's not

what it is that is exactly what it is

kevin

i love daryl

[Music]

no

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

um

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

it appears to still be embedded inside

the building

so this looks like some sort of

concerted effort to attack the world

trade center

the flames are still coming out of the

windows black smoke

spewing

uh

[Laughter]

[Music]

huh

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

running away again might want to give

your memory a break

put on the shelf for a while

that's easy for you to say try doing

that when you're still alive

you know i i don't just play the guitar

looks like i used to

sing and even write my own songs

knock yourself out fill in the blanks

use your wildest imagination

let me throw in some music awards while

you're at it

i i got into music i mean the whole

indie band scene

for the love of good music

you know there's a high you get

from sharing your heart and soul

with so many different people

that feeling is is is better than sex or

drugs

or money

but the fame

the fame will get to your head

yeah and i got lost

very lost

so it's all coming back to you

no i don't think i ever forgot i was

just too scared to remember

i get so high so drugged up i couldn't

even remember where i slept

the night before

and one night i decided to crash this

party

this dude that i didn't even know

and just followed some groupies there

and we did drugs and and drank

and the next morning

they found me doped out and drowned in

the bathtub

i just let my life

slept through my fingers

just like that

just like that

yeah just like that

[Music]

fm 101.7 news

hey this is ken t back at you today

marks the 10th anniversary of the death

of jeff

abrams the lead singer of our very own

band cheap excuse

here's a song from their last album

called unfamiliar

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

down the tv but what i see

is still the same as how it was before i

left alone

i guess i didn't mind

knowing that the best is still is here

to come along

yes i'm fine

[Music]

step back in time

[Music]

is

[Music]

[Music]

i guess i still don't mind

[Music]

[Music]

step back in time

[Applause]

and i'm fine

yes i'm fine i'm just dealing with this

most peculiar girl

and i'm fine

because i'm fine i'm just breathing

[Music]

[Music]

so

i used to love putting the star on the

christmas tree

when i was a kid

i don't think i ever remember even

having a christmas tree in our house

i remember sitting on kevin's shoulders

so i could reach the top of the

christmas tree

to put up the star

he used to love doing that

being the big brother

kevin always did the right thing

i got really tired of being second best

all the time

i guess i'll never really know what

sibling rivalry is all about

i grew up an only child

my mom had a miscarriage when i was

seven

i remember my mom saying to me

your little brother's playing hide and

seek with us

don't worry he'll come out when he's

ready

i never forgot that

pity the light not having the chance

to touch your eyes your skin

your hair

why did you choose to hide

that was a poem that i wrote for my

little brother that i never got a chance

to meet

[Music]

[Music]

this is your idea of christmas dinner

it's not even turkey

well santa's not invited just the worst

sinners

in the dead

and what exactly are we celebrating

life itself

to forgive and forget

what is it that you have against

christmas

what's wrong with sharing a little

holiday spirit

why does it have to be christmas to

celebrate

i mean i'm not christian i don't believe

in god

have you ever celebrated

it's japanese new year okay well i'm a

japanese

and i'm a christian

well we don't have to believe in any

kind of god to forgive each other

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

my name raja means king

in sanskrit but i never got to be the

king of my own destiny

are we ever really able to do that in

life

i went to school to study biochemistry

and ended up on wall street

i just i just wanted to

give my mother all the things that my

father couldn't give her

money would never be an issue ever again

my mom wanted me to be a teacher

that was her idea of earning an honest

living

she would never approve of my high risk

profession as an investment banker

i tell her that i work for a law firm

i told my parents that i worked for an

engineering firm here

they spent their life savings putting me

through school

i could never tell them that i drove a

taxi

you know they call this the rainy city

but they've never seen rain not real

rain

back home when it rains it rains like a

dam broke in the sky

deafening thunder the darkest clouds

you've ever seen

like the sky is falling in on itself

i remember when i was a young man i

would be on my scooter on the way to

work

or somewhere and it would start

to pour

[Music]

and you really you could not be on the

roads when that happened so we would all

you don't find the nearest bridge get

underneath and wait for the rain to pass

and i remember looking out from under

this bridge

at the city veiled

through this heavy rain

and feeling like time had just

stopped

since i've been here

i felt like i'm under that bridge all

over again

but somehow the rain never stops

we never did anything

evan james and i

i don't know why he told you that we did

nothing

maybe it's not that bad to be dead

please don't have to put up with that

goddamn

holiday spirit at christmas anymore

never liked turkey never will

well there's some fried chicken left if

you want some

yeah it must be nice to sleep like a

baby

i'm so tired

wasted

can't even remember what it's like to

sleep

can i come and lie down next to you

feels nice to be able to lie next

you know what i realized

i realized that it's a true blessing

to go to sleep know that you're gonna

get up the next day

another day of endless possibilities

you have a dream can you tell me what

it's

about when you wake up in the morning if

you remember

i'll be cool to hear it

[Music]
