on his friend, the comic artist Harvey Pekar.
1:07:03
Toby's a genuine nerd, and he doesn't care
if you have a problem with that.
1:07:07
Hi, my name is Toby Radloff,
a genuine nerd from Cleveland, Ohio.
1:07:11
And as you know, many hip people...
1:07:13
including a lot of college students,
are going to be heading for spring break.
1:07:18
But I have decided
to spend my own personal spring break...
1:07:22
right here in beautiful Cleveland, Ohio.
1:07:28
That day, I had an epiphany.
1:07:30
It seemed that real salt-of-the-earth people,
like Toby and me...
1:07:34
were getting co-opted
by these huge corporations.
1:07:37
We were getting held up and ridiculed
as losers in the system.
1:07:41
This is Toby Radloff,
genuine spring-break party nerd...
1:07:45
signing off.
1:07:48
What can I say? It was the '80s, man.
1:07:53
Harvey, are you listening to me?
1:07:55
I've been reading about these kids
who grew up in these war zones.
1:07:59
You know, Palestinians, Israelis...
1:08:02
El Salvadorians, Cambodians.
These kids are amazing...
1:08:05
You're that guy
from the Letterman show, right?
1:08:08
Yeah, that's me.
1:08:10
That's so excellent.
You and Stupid Pet Tricks are a riot.
1:08:15
Yeah? Then how about
you buy one of my comics, man?
1:08:19
That's the only reason
I go on that dumb show, anyway.
1:08:22
Right. Sure. Later, Harvey Pekar.
1:08:26
- What an asshole!
- I want to write a political comic book...
1:08:30
about these kids.
1:08:33
Listen to me. There's a conference
in Jerusalem in a couple of weeks.
1:08:36
I'm gonna start
by doing some interviews there.
1:08:39
Wait a minute.
What are you talking about, Jerusalem?
1:08:42
Lately I can barely drag you off the futon
to go with me to the Letterman show.
1:08:47
Do you want to know why?
1:08:50
Because I don't give a damn
about the Letterman show.
1:08:52
I want to do something important to me,
something that matters.
1:08:58
You know I only go on the show
for the extra bread.
