Okay. So ….. that happened.

I just got a call from Michael Avenatti. The caller ID showed a number that I Googled and traced to him. And it sounded like him. So, like 95% sure.

It was . . . . wow.

/2 Michael was extremely angry at me. Michael explained that I am a nobody, a coward, a pansy, a Negative Nancy (sic), jealous, piece of shit, asshole. This was over the course of five minutes or so. He ranged from mildly to very agitated.

/3 Oh I'm also a "despicable lawyer." Despite the fact that I'm a nobody, lots of people call him to tell him that I am despicable, and lots of people call him to laugh with him about how pathetic it is that I'm obsessed with him.

/4 High point of the call in my view:

Avenatti: I'M LIVING RENT-FREE IN YOUR HEAD

Me: Well, it would have to be rent-free, wouldn't it.

/5 Michael Avenatti explained that I have never accomplished anything, demanded to know what big verdicts or settlements I had achieved, and repeated that I was a nobody. He also said he was going to start writing and speaking about me, as one does to a nobody.

/6 Mr. Avenatti expressed an interest on going on the show, @jbarro. I told him he would be welcome. Also said he wanted to meet me face to face, and wanted to debate me about the issues, but not about "private stuff," like his bankruptcy.

/7 Mr. Avenatti said that I did not understand the Stormy Daniels case and did not see how me MADE the whole Cohen investigation and everything that followed and that was ALL HIM.

/8 Mr. Avenatti finished by declaring that he had decided to notice me, GAME ON, and he was going to dig through everything I've ever done and publicize it. Okay.

/9 Anyway, I've had people call and yell at me before. Mr. Avenatti was not the most creative, the most profane, or the most convincing. He was in the top ten for most comically agitated.

It was a life experience.

/10 Coda:

I was unable to convey to Mr. Avenatti that most people would not find this behavior normal.
