I remember once, many years ago, when I was introduced to an elderly man in Roanoke, Virginia. An old professor of mine, who I was visiting, leaned over and whispered, "See if you can guess what is wrong with him." My mind ran wild looking for yellow eyes indicating jaundice to swollen feet from heart failure and everything in between. He seemed pleasant enough and no obvious signs of illness were found.

Later on, after he left, I approached the old professor. "What did I miss?", I asked.

He smiled and answered, "Mr. Smith has very advanced dementia. He is incapable of taking care of even his simplest needs, but his basic social skills are not affected by the dementia. He can carry on a superficial conversation, but can't tell you who he is, what year it is, take care of his finances, maintain his house or recognize members of his own family."

This, in a nutshell is Brandon Irons.

He can give a superficial meaningless response, but he has no idea of how the business works, who does what, or how things happen. He is an entertaining empty vessel, no doubt.

Ask him any specific question about how the porn business works, how many DVD's he's sold, or how VOD works and see what happens.
