Grandpa Pudding Brains encounters the concept of elapsed time
The teleprompter had, in fact, supplied all the necessary information.
The confused old man was honoring the Dodgers when his script handed him a number: 229 days. Donnie Two-Pencils read it, called it a strange fact, disclaimed responsibility for it, and conceded that he did not understand what he was actually speaking about.
The Orange Menace was hosting the 2025 World Series champions in the Rose Garden. The prepared remarks noted the Los Angeles Dodgers opened their season in Tokyo, traveled extensively, and completed what was described as the longest season in Major League Baseball history.
The arithmetic checks out. The Dodgers opened against the Cubs in Tokyo on March 18 and won Game 7 of the World Series on November 1—229 calendar days when both endpoints are counted. It is unclear what was unclear; however, Pudding Brains got confused.
The teleprompter had, in fact, supplied all the necessary information.
Most people who use teleprompters go over the script beforehand so they can get it right for the performance. Much as musicians know a piece and also have their part in front of them. The felon either doesn't do that or is so far gone that he has not recollection of the words he practiced just a little while earlier.
He also has no comprehension of reality.
