Lyle & JOI after hours: Lyle runs on other people's excretions
Lyle, who sometimes would start to get tipsy himself as Himself’s pores began to excrete the bourbon
Context
The body-as-medium-of-exchange, at its most literal: Lyle gets drunk secondhand, "as Himself’s pores began to excrete the bourbon" — the same way, on drilling days, he lives off the sweat the players proffer him. What another body pushes out through its skin is Lyle's actual sustenance; here a director's exhaled Wild Turkey does the work, and the sweat-guru's economy is shown running on excreta whether it's perspiration or metabolized bourbon. He is nourished by what other bodies expel.
