Big fan of Peter Gabriel. Have you ever listened to Passion? Totally immersive, headphones-and-no-distractions stuff. Great for tripping, too.

I'm old school. The Doors are my go to band when tripping.

Nice mix of six different shows.

I caught the Front to Back tour at Mohegan Sun (that's the bit with him on the bicycle)

Wow, he's been doing this for longer than I thought.

It does remind me of the best swordfish I ever had in my life.

In the '80's I lived in a lake front house on Congamond lakes, which form the right side of that notch in the CT/MA border.

We had epic parties int eh summer, and one year I made swordfish.

A buddy of mine was the head chef at Brown Thompson's, which was one of the major restaurants in Hartford at the time.

I had him get me 3 swordfish "hind quarters", that is the back part of the fish, cleaned and prepped. If you've ever gotten a swordfish teak and it was kinda horseshoe shaped, the notch is where the spine would be. Stack up 6 to 8 of those pieces, and you understand what I had.

I had another buddy who lived in FLA, FedEx me a bunch of banana leaves. Laid out the swordfish in the banana leaves and seasoned each of the 3 differently. Butter with rosemary, white wine & garlic, and cajun spices.

Rolled up the leaves to make a vapor barrier, and wrapped the whole thing in chicken wire to hold it together.

Tossed it on the grill to cook.

F*ckin awesome.

Here's the text below the video @ YouTube

Did you really do this?
Yes. Pretty much as you see here.

Did it really hurt that much?
Yes, it did.

Wimp.
Possibly. Try giving yourself first-degree burns and then scouring them with acidic fruit gunk every day. (Don't actually do this.)

Why didn't you stop earlier?
I'm stubborn.

How did you do that final shot?
I added the red glow in later. It's the only part of this that isn't genuine.

Hang on, how are you cutting that pineapple on Day 8?
Good spot — but if you look closely, I'm holding the knife and pineapple mostly with my palms and the lower parts of my fingers. It's amazing how quickly I adapted to not being able to use my fingertips. Plus, I mentioned in the previous shot that I was only scouring last thing at night, and at that point it was helping — at the time I was cutting that pineapple, it had been about 24 hours since the last scour, so it wasn't too bad.

Is it possible to remove your fingerprints, though, if you maybe spend every hour of the day doing gentle work with pineapple?
Possibly, but the only evidence for bromelain actually removing fingerprints so far seems to be anecdotal. If anyone can find any journal articles, though, I'll happily update this. Please don't try it yourself.
