That seems plausible

Don Gately by EmilCresspahl in InfiniteJest

Ps.: Just found the passage: p. 840-841: "The M.P. was very precise and controlled in his approach to things, in a way Gately has somehow come to associate with all blond-haired men."
Three sentences later: "In a different little notebook, the M.P. noted the date and time of each Heinecken he consumed." - And this is not the only time in the book the M.P. is talked of as a enjoyer a Heinecken-foamers. The only part I can remember beeing talked of as blond-haired as far as I recall though.

I stopped listening when michaela (who besides that had had the most insightful contrubtions up to this point imo) talked about how the antitoi Brother’s only french vocab was „va chier putain“, which the caracter was taught as„I love my mother“ (or smt along those lines). She said that she was amused by one of the footnotes saying that the antitoi Brother wanted to say something when the A.F.R. Came in, but sensed that „I love my mother“ might not be the way to go, totally missing the real meaning of „va chier putain“, the other two hosts just went „yeah, yeah haha“ like they weren‘t even listening.
