Choosing a Song for the Today Show
Aaron Hey, so, Aldous, for the Today Show, they want to know what song you want to play.
Aldous Say it was up to you, Aaron, what would you have me do?
Aaron That's your call. You're the artist, you know, whatever you feel like playing. I'd be really interested, cause you're, like, a legitimate enthusiast. I'd like to know what you'd be into doing. If I had to choose, all-time favorite would be The Clap. That's a classic. You know, that's... That's, like, my childhood right there, you know.
Aldous Okay. Well, I suppose the obvious choice is African Child, right?
Aaron Yeah. Great tune. Yeah, I love African Child. The song's awesome. I brush my teeth to it, you know? I think maybe we should run to the airport right now, cause we're getting close.
Aldous Change it to the next one. Should we get out of this bourgeois shithole?

Aaron I'm so sorry.
Aldous In future, if someone asks you to give them a critique of their work, don't rip out their fucking gizzards and hold it in front of their face. What are you? What do you know?
Aaron I'm sorry. Look, I don't know what I'm talking about.
Aldous Yeah, what you did was very spiteful. But it was also very brave and very honest, and I respect you for doing that, but the content of what you said has made me hate you. So there's a layer of respect, admittedly, for your truthfulness, peppered with hate. Hateful respect.
Aaron I'm sorry.
Aldous It's over.

Aldous I was clean for seven years...
Jackie And you did yoga for five fucking hours a day! That's mental. There's nothing in this world that you can't turn into heroin. The other day, Lars cried for three hours.

Jackie Naples is not your son.
Aldous Yes, he is. Yes, he... Jackie, why... Don't say things like that in an argument, cause, like, you can't come back from that. That's horrible.
Jackie He's not. Do you remember that photographer, Fernando? Do you remember when Fernando and I went and spent that month together in Naples? I'm so sorry, Aldous. I was 19 at the time, and I was so in love with you, and I thought you would break it off with me, and then you turned out to be such a good father. And then he just kept looking more and more Italian. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so glad we finally got to have this conversation, darling. Namaste.
Aldous This is not an appropriate time to say namaste.

Aldous Snow's Controversial Song and Its Message
Aldous I have crossed the mystic desert. To snap pictures of the poor. I've invited them to brunch. Let them crash out on my floor. There's sunshine in my veins My kitchen's filled with flies. I'm crying out in vain Like a little African child. Trapped in me. There's a little African child trapped in me. All of these blowjobs in limousines. Why do they matter, what do they mean. To the little African child trapped in me?

Zoe Aldous longtime girlfriend and mother of their son, Naples, model pop star Jackie Q.
Jackie He's really passionate. He's never been to Africa, but he's really passionate about it. And about, like, potentially going there.
Aldous When they were putting together this costume, I said, "Imagine an African, white Christ from space." And this is what they came back with, an African, white space Christ. That's how it... Well, that's just the concept, you know. Obviously, I'm not saying I'm an African, white space Christ. That would be... That's not for me to say. That's for other people... That's for other people to say if they think I'm... They think I'm like Jesus. Ride me inside me supertight. Boom boom. Shake the room like it's dynamite. Ride me inside me supertight. Boom boom. Shake the room like it's dynamite. Ride me inside me supertight. Boom boom Shake the room like it's dynamite.

Aaron I just feel like it couldn't hurt to not be on heroin.
Aldous Couldn't it? You know, I used to be sober. When I was sober, I was worried about, "Is this the twilight of my career? Is the mother of my child a cruel, evil, brilliant, savant, idiot genius?" You know, "Am I bringing up my kid the right way?" Now, I'm just worried about drugs.
Aaron IYour life's to-do list must be a baffling document.
Aldous You're worried about so many things, Aaron. You're worried about will we get to the show? Will I perform well? Will you get the credit that you deserve? Mine has on it but one word. Do you know what that word is?
Aaron Oh, no. I have to sneeze.
Aldous What?
Aaron I have to sneeze. But I'm terrified that my bowels will evacuate if I do.
Aldous If you sneeze, it is very important that you clench at the same time. Aaron.
Aaron I'm gonna sneeze. I'm gonna clench and sneeze.
Aldous Listen to me.
Aaron Dude, I'm gonna clench and sneeze.
Aldous Don't close your eyes. It's impossible to sneeze if your eyes are open. Open your eyes. You're being selfish.
Aaron I'm gonna clench and sneeze.
Aldous Is it still in?
Aaron I think I broke a rib.
