Why hasn't anyone mentioned that Norm MacDonald is now Colonel Sanders for Kentucky Fried Chicken? I'm happy as hell to see Norm getting more work, because I liked his comedy, and I think he's always been underrated. I think he was the best "Weekend Update" host Saturday Night Live ever had. Nett, Norm might have been shaky because he was hung-over... It happens to the best of us. Or he might have Parkinson's disease (undisclosed), etc. EDIT: This is one of the only times where a Saturday Night Live host HASN'T said : "We've got a GREAT show tonight!"
The girl on the cover of that book looks like she used to be a dude. I guess Tucker really has changed. They should've used the sketch from the Maxim article for the cover: http://www.maxim.com/entertainment/article/reinvention-tucker-max-2015-8
Evolutionary psychology is of dubious factuality. In particular, the alpha male theory, which Tucker loved to trumpet. I have little respect for the whole self-help market in general. I'm not going to make many friends on here, but in my opinion, if you have to read a book to learn how to initiate a relationship with members of the opposite sex, sexual or otherwise, you've got some serious fucking problems. And writing self help books is picking fruit that hangs so low it's sunk into the turf.
I don't know about all that. I just meant he changed from wanting to screw a bunch of women to settling down with one transgender one.
As George Carlin said, "Why would you read a book someone else wrote? That's not self help. That's help." Some guys, myself included, needed someone to break down the intricacies of dating. Fuck "some", most, a lot, more than half of the guys I know. Intelligent, funny, non-Morlock shy guys who just didn't know how to "be." We weren't raised by strong male role models, we had no friends to mimic; we didn't even have friends who would challenge us in those ways. I was 22ish before I had even an inkling how to behave around a girl, mostly from watching the popular guys (those lessons have gone right down the shitter). Funny enough I got more positive reinforcement from acting like a negative, loathsome dick (turns out I AM a negative, loathsome dick). I had to develop how to be charming... what I call charming. I am an introverted, shy, unfunny goof and had to make that work for me. I still battle with that. None of those appealing personality traits come naturally to me. Learning to be outgoing was like taking immersive acting lessons. God help me, but Tucker's stupid book helped. The contents are skewed, sometimes poisonous, and not the hallmarks of a healthy personality, but some guys could benefit from becoming so outrageous just to break out of their shell. Then again, not many people are smart enough to reign it back in.
Tucker. Eh. Tucker Max writing a self-help book. The jokes don't even need to be written. I'm tired. Wah. After I run I'm getting buzzed.
And Maxim is writing an article about how enlightened he is now and how revolting he used to be a decade ago. Spoiler: Maxim ca. 2003 Life is strange sometime.
Seeing this video almost makes me feel bad for shooting on site the raccoons around my house. But then I remember they get into my attic and wake up my dogs who, in turn, wake up my toddler and wife and I. And then every time I seal off the attic where they get in, they chew out a new entrance and bring more friends. Cute video though.
She was showing all the rock scratches on the window like it was a cute thing. First time that fucker made so much as a mark I'd have it looking like Swiss cheese.
IHTSBIH sold around 1.5 million copies. The second around 300k, and the other titles and paperback editions make up the difference. Selling a million books is a big deal. I'm surprised the movie didn't do better just from the size of his fan base. I'm impressed he is an investor in Deep Eddy Vodka. Those guys are getting huge. However, the article mentions this company called Palantir, a data mining company. This Forbes article says they have a $20 billion valuation. Exactly how fucking much did Max's investment get him? "With the latest investment, Palantir’s total lifetime funding now exceeds $1.5 billion. It’s still unclear who invested in the round, though past investors include CIA investment arm In-Q-Tel; Founders Fund; Tiger Global Management; and a host of billionaires like Kenneth Langone and Stanley Druckenmiller."
