0:00.0 | John was a hot-headed kid. He was always outspoken. He acted on impulse frequently without |
0:10.6 | thinking things through. Also, he drank from time to time, which hasn't been talked |
0:15.4 | about, but he did. And he was a kind of guy that had a very low capacity for a liquor. |
0:20.5 | It all took would it be two or three drinks maybe. And he was liable to write a letter |
0:27.3 | or make a phone call. Just let his true feelings out no matter how impolite it may have been. |
0:34.7 | We know he had a temper. A lot has been made of Jeff K. Jr.'s charm and his charisma and so on. |
0:41.0 | But what's not really talked about so much is how he was capable of lashing out and how |

1:30.2 | exercising, doing pull-ups in the park, riding his bike around, always had a different |
1:35.3 | outfit or with a shirt off. So you know he's doing this because it was feeding his ego and he loved it. |
1:43.3 | But as we discovered in the last episode, Jr.'s courting of the press and his love of the limelight |
1:49.0 | was beginning to grow into something he could no longer control. |
1:53.2 | Well there was one or two photographers that were on him relentlessly. They were just |
