I don’t think it’s that other people won’t let him “work” when “work” is to talk to a camera.
He also complains about having to give his kids rides to things, usually in a context when he’s trying to explain how horrible busy he is.
Considering the amount of vacations he’s become accustomed to, the fact that he more and more seems to be on drugs when he DOES get in front of a camera, it’s easy to believe, probably most ACCURATE to believe, that he just is trying to absolutely maximize the amount of time he has to do nothing but fiddlefuck around, and he’s essentially calling out sick for 40% of his shifts.
I have kids that I have to drop off and pick up from daycare every day and I work six days a week in a factory. My sympathy level is way, way in the red
