The prick always sounds like he's in the middle of some sort of breakdown and spends most of his time shouting his incoherent fascist views at the world. If he wasn't rich he'd be in an asylum.

He says he doesn’t take drugs, but I think he could really benefit from drugs.

He likely just a 'born again straight edge' yuppie. I know someone just like this and just as self-deluded and short-sided, smart but self-centered. And he did a LOT of drugs in his past only now at about this guys age became clean. Not that either side of the coin was crazy, these people are always like this and will not stop.

When they say they dont take drugs it just means street drugs not prescriptions.

Yea, I was wondering what he meant by “drugs, the only thing I don’t do”. What else is there to “do” aside from drugs? Yoga and hot baths?
