Unique Experience IamA Still Ken Bone, the guy in the red sweater. AMA!
The original AMA is about to get locked and the questions are still coming in. Since you still have questions, I still have answers. AMA about life, politics, sweaters, the perils and joys of memehood, or whatever you want.
I'll go ahead and answer the first question for you. I'm not telling you who I voted for.

Hey Ken, huge fan here! I've watched you at the debate a few hundred times and I often find myself thinking about that marvelous red sweater you wore. Anyway, In a fight to the death who would win in 100 dolphins or 20 sharks? Obviously this fight takes place off the coast of Australia, preferably Sidney Harbor, and both the sharks and the dolphins are fully mature males. Let me know.

u/StanGibson18 Apr 06 '17
Pods of dolphins kill sharks all the time, and they have the intelligence needed to coordinate their efforts. Dolphins win going away against almost any shark species.
20 great whites might be able to pull it off. It would be close.

What do you think about the semi-recent events of your Reddit history being published? Do you have any regrets about being so transparent to the public?
403
u/StanGibson18 Apr 06 '17
Having my grandmother ask me about porn comments wasn't very fun. The only thing I really regret is having to see first hand how willing some "journalists" are to trash a person just for web traffic. Many of my comments were taken out of context, and as Ethan from H3H3 pointed out, there was at least one that was distorted into an out and out lie.
As far as transparency I regret nothing. Real men learn from mistakes and move on. Cowards hide from them and pretend they didn't happen.

Parts of it can be very stressful. Doing tons of media, not being able to go out in public without being recognized, and having the police sweep your house for explosives are a drag.

u/StanGibson18 Apr 07 '17
I think it shows tremendous integrity that he took the video down. It was only natural for him to react quickly like he did. His livelihood is under attack at the same time he's fighting an expensive yet baseless lawsuit. He's stressed, and when you're stressed you sometimes make mistakes. He worked quickly and honestly to make it better and I respect him now more than ever.

123
u/StanGibson18 Apr 06 '17
I get recognized almost every day. One of the weirdest times was at my local Target.
I was buying a new printer to print out some contracts 2 days after the debate. It was the first time I had been out of the house for anything but an interview. I was looking for a cable when an employee walked behind me and asked if I needed help. I said, "no thanks, found it."
He recognized my voice and freaked out. He started shaking and asked for a picture. He asked why I was there and I told him about the printer. The he says, "no, I mean why this store?" I explained that I lived like a mile away and I came into the store like 3 times a week.
He freaks again and asks, "Oh my God, why didn't I notice you before?" I told him that he had been my cashier at least a dozen times before, and that the only reason he didn't notice was that there was no reason for him to. I wasn't famous then.

It's awesome to see you're still around on Reddit months after being trashed by all those people.
Since you revealed that the "StanGibson18" account was yours, have you changed how you have used Reddit? That is, have you been more careful what you post (or use different accounts)? Or do you feel comfortable anyway now that the dust has settled a bit?

u/StanGibson18 Apr 12 '17
I haven't really changed a thing. I have not made any comments on any NSFW subs since then, but it's not like I did that a lot before. I made something like 4 comments on those subs in 18 months before, and they were intended as jokes.
I don't have any alternate accounts. I don't see myself ever using one. I don't see the point of them in my situation. I wouldn't make a comment if I want willing to stand behind it, or be willing to learn from it later.

Hey Ken, It wasn't far off a year ago since the media fiasco so I assume anyone who knows about you also knows that the media were making up bullshit. Are people still directing hate towards you regarding your comments or have they seen sense?
Also, what's the funniest joke you know?
14
u/StanGibson18 Aug 01 '17
The hate was always pretty rare. These days I only get it from the occasional troll online.
Now for the joke.
Three guys are waiting for a tee time. The course is busy so the manager asks if they would mind playing a foursome with a guy who was alone with an 8:00 tee time. They all agree.
The fourth guy turns out to be a really good left handed holder, shooting four under on the day. He's a blast to play with and buys the guys a round of beers in the clubhouse.
They ask the man how he got so good. He says "I'm here every morning at either 8:00 or 8:04 every day rain or shine. Never miss a day."
They're amazed by his dedication and they agree to meet the next morning and play again.
The next day he shoots even better, six under par. Strangely they all note that he's shooting right handed today. Back in the clubhouse they ask him about it. He says that he can shoot either way. They all agree to play again the next day and he says "Great. I'll see you in the morning at 8:00 or 8:04." The the guys think how weird it is that he weird those two very specific times each day.
The next day at 8 he's back to shooting left. They can't take it anymore and ask him "How do you decide whether to shoot left or right?"
He says "If I wake up and my wife is on her left side I shoot left. If she's on her right side I shoot right."
"What if she's on her back?" They ask.
"Then I change my tee time to 8:04"

I still feel very passionate about helping the homeless. This time of the year is very tough for them, and for the charities that help them. Spring storms can be very dangerous if you have no way to get shelter, and a brutal summer is around the corner.
Add to that the charities have trouble raising money after the holidays. They get most of their fundraising done in November and December. If you'd like to help check out the St Patrick Center.
If you can't help financially, start by treating thee homeless with the kindness and respect that every person deserves. Keep in mind that well over 50% of Americans are only 2 missed paychecks away from homelessness themselves.

What do you think about Trumps attempts to please coal miners? Do you think the potential jobs are worth the environmental protection rollbacks?
77
u/StanGibson18 Apr 06 '17
There are no real potential jobs. Coal jobs are lost to automation, not regulation. Coal production in the US is still near the all time high, which was set in 2009 according to the Energy Information Administration.
Rolling back regulations in most cases only results in more profit for the companies, more harm to the environment, and no additional jobs created. In fact, the stream protection rule was expected to create over 100 jobs in the compliance sector of the industry.
Trump like many other politicians has successfully convinced miners that the jobs of their fathers and grandfathers can come back. They can't and they won't. These lies have devastated communities by preventing them from moving on to new industries. They are held down in poverty by empty promises of it getting better soon.
That's not exclusive to Republicans in coal country by the way. Politicians do the same thing to almost every disadvantaged group in every part of the country from both sides of the aisle.

Would you rather have $1000 in $5 bills or $5000 in quarters? They cannot be exchanged for other currencies.

u/StanGibson18 Apr 06 '17
I'll take the quarters. It would be like free parking for life. Also an ace in the hole to play on cashiers if they are rude to me.

Ken, how you doing? What's your guilty pleasure? Whether it be a movie, or music artist, I wanna know!
Also, if you're in need of some great sweaters, at even better prices, check out Big and Tall Outlet, it's where I work, so how could I not give it a plug to a guy like you!

Can Bernie still win?
Can we still flip the superdelegates?
How much longer will you be milking this?

u/StanGibson18 Apr 07 '17
For it to be milking I would have to be getting something out of it, which I'm not. I just like having fun with the reddit community. Try not to cut yourself on your edge.

Where were you when the Cubs won? Were you happy for them or were you rooting against them?

I was standing in my front yard in the rain while the local police were escorting my family out of the house under guard. A prank caller told 911 "I'm at Ken Bone's house, he's not home so I shot his family. I left a bomb." I was driving home from giving a speech.
As a cards fan I can't say I was rooting for them, but they earned the win. I don't begrudge them that, and it takes away nothing from my own team.

Favorite Spongebob episode?

Honestly, I hate SpongeBob. That voice is like a dentist's drill.

Important question: If you could get a sequel to any movie and have it be just as good as the original, or better, what movie would it be?

u/StanGibson18 Apr 10 '17
Arrival. I want to see what the aliens needed help with.

How much did h3h3 pay you after the vids?

u/StanGibson18 Apr 16 '17
He gave me some money for the interview, don't remember how much. About half the money the video made, which was far more than fair. He also made a donation to my favorite charity and put up the link so others could too.
He's a great guy. I'm really glad to have worked with him.

Do you have a bone to pick with anyone? Have you ever been chilled to the bone? Have you ever felt something in your bones? (had an intuition?)

Will you be at the debates in 2020?

u/StanGibson18 May 03 '17
I think the odds of me getting invited twice in a row are astronomical.
Maybe the commission or a show will invite me, but who knows.

Bass, drums, and piano mostly. I also play guitar, Latin percussion, and organ, just not as well.

Are you still receiving any media inquiries? Whether it's for an interview, an endorsement, acting gig, etc.?

u/StanGibson18 Jul 10 '17
Occasionally. I just did an interview with a local news station last Friday.

What's the creepiest comments you have gotten since the debate? Ps you are a national treasure

u/StanGibson18 Jul 16 '17
I've gotten lots of prank phone calls where the caller reads off my birthday, social security number, families names, my address, basically everything. That's not fun.

How do you think the 15 minutes of fame has affected your life, in a good or a bad way, or both?

u/StanGibson18 Jul 18 '17
Almost all good. I've raised a lot of money for charities, had a lot of great experiences, and paid off my car. It's been a blast.

I'm amazed that this is still running.
Anyway, what're your thoughts on the Midterm elections?
5
u/StanGibson18 Jul 19 '17
My goal is to use the little influence I have left to get people out to participate in them. It's a critical time. We have the democrats showing no ideas and the republicans showing terrible ideas. We need to shake things up.

I saw a comment that said you play console, me too! What games are you playing right now and what is your favourite game you have played?

u/StanGibson18 Aug 02 '17
Favorite ever probably Final Fantasy X. Maybe Ocarina of Time.
Currently playing Mass Effect Andromeda. With the patches in place it's not bad. I feared the worst. Still, ME2 is the pinnacle of the series. It can probably never be matched.
