Wow, this guy has really changed. When I was in highschool Rev. Bruce just wore a suit and stared eerily at the camera and said things really slowly in a forced baritone. Over the years he began to get "followers," but now it's sort of obvious that it's a really weird performance piece... I think. But we aren't really sure, because you have to be fucking nuts to do this every week for 15 years.

this guy's voice mail: "bruce.. its your mother.. i just watched your last show and i just wanted to call and talk to you and see how you're doing.. your father and I are still hoping that you'll consider coming to stay with us for a while in florida and maybe we can help you sort some things out.. are you eating okay? i heard that you bought some land and moved out into some metal buildings without water or electricity with some other people.. i just don't think that you'll be really comfortable living like that.. please call me as soon as you can.. i know you don't want to talk to dad so I'm the only one answering the phone these days so call whenever you want.."
