Notorious former gubernatorial candidate and beard aficionado Jimmy McMillan stopped by our offices yesterday with filmmakers Aaron Fisher-Cohen and Kristian Almgren to talk about their new documentary, Damn! The film charts McMillan's overnight rise from fringe party candidate to viral sensation after his unforgettable debut at the 2010 gubernatorial debate—but as most conversations with McMillan go, ours weaved off into tangents on everything from SNL's influence on him, to his Israeli fanbase, his raunchy career as a porn star (there are videos floating around out there...), and his views on environmentalism:
When a young person asks me a question about the environment, you must be talking to your stupid-ass parents. Because you have a place to stay. You're breathing every day. I mean I understand that you need air, don't get me wrong. I'll break wind and give you some air if you needed it. That's how funny I am.
We'll have the full interview up tomorrow, but below, you can check out an exclusive deleted scene from the documentary, in which McMillan pontificates on women, and why you should snort during sex:
