I was also inspired to write the part where you use your rudy points to give the Mets useless advice after my trip to the nixon museum last month — there’s an exhibit where you can listen to all the incredible phone calls that Nixon thoughtfully taped, and there’s one when he calls the coach of the washington football team to congratulate them on a great game, but under that pretense, starts cutting off everything the coach tries to say to him and gives Nixon’s Version of what he imagined should have happened on every single play. very, very funny.
honestly I probably have insane notes like this on every single passage. there’s a line of John Ashbery in there, there’s a lot of inspirations that I don’t even remember until I’m rereading them.
so the pep talks you give the mets don’t actually matter? good to know, because I was trying to strategize how to get all the things I need AND max my Rudy Points by eating a challenge coin but I couldn’t crack it.
Not only that, Nixon on multiple occasions phoned a Super Bowl coach before the game to suggest a play for the coach to run.
There is also the time where Nixon shared a limo ride on a campaign stop with Hunter S Thompson (who was covering politics for Rolling Stone) under the condition that they only thing they could talk about was football.
Well guess who just walked in on his mom half an hour into watching HUSBANDS. “I have to watch it, it has all my guys!”
Seems to have boosted her spirits a ton, thank you for cheering my mother up, I just took a shower and used the olive oil soap she gave me for Christmas, I sure do feel clean now
