From Penn Jillette's PERSONAL Diary! - Pursuing a Hobby You Suck At - Penn Point

[TwiPrime]

Never tried drugs or alcohol? That seems very disciplined. Maybe it would just be a lot of discipline for *me*. Btw, I think I lost 2 pounds from watching all of the shifting from one foot to another. :D Nah, I would probably do the same thing while filming a vlog. Enjoyed it! :D

[oilusboyne]

Hey penn, i think you really touched on something when you brought up the predicament of having to, or needing to start something new. Also, i think the immature ideal of being the best always seems to end up being subjective. i.e. your own happiness being fulfilled in your own life

[aMulliganStew]

couldn't've said it better myself

[crimsonhalo13]

Your setup reminds me of Wayne's World. Behold, the future of TV. :)

[CluppHead]

Crazy, I feel the same way about my guitar. Are you saying you've never done drugs growing up? Because, doing mushrooms might change ya into an agnostic. Do one thing everyday that scares you. Not that I don't love you as an athiest. But, most of the big hits that you speak of were doing mass amounts of drugs. Could be something to it.

[GomersRevenge]

I am recording an omni opera and I have some very skillful people on it with big names. If you are interested in playing a track, let me know. I will send you the music. You can record your part, send it in a wave file or whatever and you will be added to the great cast of players on the titanic 47 hour long Omni opera, the Centrifugal Satz Clock. (with strongly libertarian themes)

Keep enjoying your bass!

[deanobeany]

i recently pretty much gave up on my dream of trying to learn guitar because i'm 20, i figured other musicians started in their early teens and that it was silly think about picking it up now, but this vid was actually quite inspiring

[mccoyonmaui]

Fucking iPhone

[mccoyonmaui]

...waytostay true my man. It's regarding the cops behavior... My bad...

[mccoyonmaui]

Hey Penn, you just got props on FTL. You topped the first hour. Way to stay true in the cops behavior with the filming thing in mass. Adam (one of the guys busted) was 3rd chair. You rock keep plugging the truth. Aloha!

[PhunkyVegas]

Penn! It's your personal Barista. Long time no see!

[1111e1111]

why the sponsors ? ugh.

[tracelight24]

Man thats cool you play bass! I love playing drums and jamming out. I'm so into music right now, just learning all these famous musicians. Gonna go see if I can find some of those bassists you were talking about!

[Fishfarm]

I love Penn, and I'm okay with ad's. But fuck that is a bit much, I mean, Goddamn it, man...

[dahsandgrub]

ads in the center... well played good sir.

[barrie31]

rambling



[PRWelke]

Looks simple, doesn't it?

[airsoftmz]

you need to smoke some weed.

[scalp340]

Individuality.....nuff said, brilliant

[Moviewhiz1]

Where did you buy that Flip lens and what is it called?

[pennpoint]

@Moviewhiz1 Ha! We literally just glued a cheap-o wide angle lens on to the flip. Makes it less shaky when Penn uses it.

[salmongutter]

I couldn't agree with you more Penn. I started taking banjo lessons 3 years ago (around the time I was 25 years old) and knew that I would never master it.  But I did it anyway so I could learn music, have a fun relaxing hobby, and grow as an individual.

[ronin63]

Penn, you keep turning your flip off on accident.

[defect530]

i could do a better job making your thumbnails. not enough bright colors or cleavage, both essential for high ratings :D

love ya Penn

[pennpoint]

@defect530 More cleavage -- noted.

[TheEvilOfScientology]

Is that a home studio you're in, Penn?

[pennpoint]

@TheEvilOfScientology Yes.

[TheEvilOfScientology]

@pennpoint Cool!

[surgeyX]

Annoying ad 4:20 - 6:44

I think it's funny that you're telling us to sign up for netflix and throw away our tv \ cable...but then how would we watch bullshit!?!

[deanobeany]

@surgeyX Penn & Teller DVD's?

[surgeyX]

@deanobeany

Without Showtime's support they would have no DVDs....so think again :|

[deanobeany]

@surgeyX i dont think he MEANT it literally,

[surgeyX]

@deanobeany

No shit.

[deanobeany]

@surgeyX right....

[surgeyX]

Man I so want to go see their show in Vegas....Maybe for my bday

[151Neighborhood]

I do the things you said, so in a way. You called me a 15 year old little girl.

[corenothing]

i love how frequent these are

ps- i gotta godaddy account cos a your recommendation, but i didn't use the promo code!

[sethmusic]

ouch, penn point!!....hurry and fix the spelling on your title......"purs(u)ing"......h­urry and get it fast!!.....you still have time!!!......AND, THIS EPISODE GAVE ME AN EXTRA SPOUT OF HOPE FOR SO MANY THINGS!!!

[MalachorWraith]

If there's a man who can teach us bastards to be humble and awesome at the same time, its you Penn.

[ConscientiousMind]

@MalachorWraith So true. Many people seem to have the impression that Penn is just a mean "I got mine so fuck you" libertarian who thinks he knows everything, when the reality isn't anything like that. He's compassionate, optimistic, humble and he admits when he's wrong. There'd be a lot more libertarians in the world if people could see this side of Penn more.

[BlueLotusSC]

Good video Penn. This made me pick up my bass again  =D

[BlueLotusSC]

I play bass too =D

[smashballbrawler]

Shouldn't the title say 'Pursuing' and not 'pursing'?

[MaximTrigger]

@smashballbrawler he did say he writes like a teenage girl didn't he? : )

[TheDustinBurchamShow]

Hey!
