| 0:14.0 | Philip. gentlemen welcome to oral presentations. Patreon episode 15, Philip K Dick. |
| 0:26.3 | Do you live in a dog universe made out of sprockets? |
| 0:30.6 | We are going to be covering either the greatest or the second greatest |
| 0:34.6 | depending on how you feel American science fiction writer of all time, Philip K Dick. |
| 0:39.4 | There's the dude who wrote Blade Runner and that's pretty much all I knew about him |
| 0:44.3 | before I looked into him at all and that's actually kind of why I looked into him |
| 0:50.0 | because I like the movie Blade Runner and whenever it gets brought up and I'm around people like obviously we're |
| 0:55.9 | Par routine we're not really around people anymore |
| 0:58.2 | But in the past whenever Blade Runner gets brought up. I'm always a person. I'm like oh, oh, dude, I love it, written by Philip K Dick. And if anybody ever asked me one more question, over the top of this guy's name, out of facts. No clue. No idea what else the guy did.

| 2:00.4 | found out that he has a lot of like anti-Semitic writing along with his giant universe |
| 2:05.7 | monsters to go with it. |
| 2:08.0 | And after I found the anti-Semitic thing, it was just, it was just, I made that connection of like, |
| 2:12.1 | oh, that's, that's, uh, so this dude was just in like a one bedroom in Red Hook, New York around the year 1900, like writing like, the biggest giant grossest monsters in the world ever you can't even imagine them and then would go into like |
