1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: The dull, flat truth of everyday life. It's one more thing.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm struggling, Getty.

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 2: One more thing.

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 3: Is that our mission statement.

5
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: That was one of my favorite quotes from I think

6
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: William Faulkner about why he drank as much as he did.

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: He drank himself to death, but he did not like

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: the dull, flat truth of everyday life without a couple

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: of drinks.

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 3: I get it, Yeah, exactly, you.

11
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: All get it, which is really Shane Gillis's point in

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: the fake ad they had on Saturday Night Live. We'll

13
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: play this first and then discuss You.

14
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 4: Wouldn't know it, but a few months ago, anxiety and

15
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 4: depression were ruining my life. I was struggling at work.

16
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 4: I was struggling as a father, Come on, Andrew, you

17
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 4: can't be beat at school in sports, and struggling as

18
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 4: a husband.

19
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: That's not because my mom's doctor thinks that we should

20
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: move her into an assistant living mind.

21
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 4: That's awesome. I was at a real low point. That's

22
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 4: what I talked to my doctor about. A couple of beers.

23
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 4: A couple of beers is revolutionary medicine that treats anxiety

24
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 4: and depression fast and within minutes. Of taking it. I'm

25
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 4: back to my old self, Andrew.

26
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 3: I love everybody who's the best in the whole.

27
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 4: World, and my confidence is through the roof. Jay, you

28
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 4: look freaking hot, man, even do the way Platt's.

29
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: Excuse me, Oh sorry.

30
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 4: I'm just having a tough time adjusting to my new medication.

31
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 4: So the way it works is simple. A couple of

32
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 4: beers quickly turns a cloudy, rainy day into a sunny one.

33
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 4: It's that easy. Now I'm the me I want to be.

34
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 4: A couple of beers is a clinically proven treatment for

35
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: conditions like boredom, depression, winter museum hangovers, affair, and moderate

36
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 4: to severe Italian wife.

37
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: And if you missed, the most.

38
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 4: Common side effect of a couple of beers is drowsiness,

39
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 4: so you may want to ask your doctor about a

40
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 4: little bump. The way a little bump works is simple.

41
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 4: Once the drowsiness of a couple of beers sets in,

42
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: you simply take a little bump and let the medication

43
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 4: do his thing.

44
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: Particularly like a couple of beers will help with you know, mourning, springtime, museum.

45
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah wow, I like museum. Yeah yeah. Your confidence

46
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: will be back. Wow. Jenny you're looking freaking hot.

47
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: Well, and he goes from his wife sitting there on

48
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: the couch telling them stories about her mom, and he

49
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: just couldn't stand listening to her till he was actually,

50
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, able to pay attention and be kind of

51
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: pleasant after a couple of beers.

52
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

53
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: There's just there's just too much reality that for many people,

54
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: I think for that well, that's why it's funny.

55
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially I mean, what would happen if the introverts

56
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 2: of the world were all denied any social lubricant. I mean,

57
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: I know how it's affected your.

58
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: Well, I know, you know, I know for me and

59
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 3: Dada two kids.

60
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: So you're too busy to do a lot of Like socialists.

61
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it anyway, So I know what it's

62
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 1: done for me. For one thing, because I don't drink.

63
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: I haven't had a drink in eighteen and a half years.

64
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: I would put myself in social situations I didn't want

65
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: to be in and drink to handle them. I just

66
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: don't do them anymore. I hated them, I didn't want

67
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: to be at them. So now I just don't, which

68
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: has helped a lot. I don't know why I did

69
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: so often in the first place, it's not something I

70
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: want to do a lot of those things. Yes, Katie, No,

71
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm listening to you.

72
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 5: I'm also thinking about all of the situations where I

73
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 5: absolutely take a shot at tequila before I attend.

74
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: So, yeah, it's funny. This is a great help to

75
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: me years and years ago. And if i'd none you

76
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: were going to be talking about this, I would have

77
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: grabbed a quote Thomas Jefferson wrote once describing how his

78
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: natural inclination is toward being a loner. He was an introvert,

79
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: and he would much prefer to be by himself, eating

80
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: or writing, or you know, working, or maybe with one

81
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: close friend. And but he realized if he indulged that

82
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: part of his personality, he started to become weird and angry. Hmmm,

83
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: because and and the reason that hit me is because

84
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 2: that's me exactly. I am more than happy to do

85
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: solitary stuff for days weeks at a time. But then

86
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: I realized I get all hermity and weird and lose

87
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: connection with people I care about.

88
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 3: And maybe so I just need a slave girlfriend a cheeriup.

89
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: All right, that was a cheap shot, and beneath you

90
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 2: wait a minute, nothing man anyway, uh and and and

91
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 2: so as a person so inclined, Jefferson was known to

92
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: sip a bit of the maderra my Spanish wine or

93
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: something like that. In fact, he ran up so much

94
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 2: debt importing stuff like that from Europe he couldn't pay

95
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: his debt. But yeah, so, and I have activities and

96
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 2: group and stuff that I'm a part of, but I

97
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: don't want to say I dread them because I enjoy them,

98
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 2: but it's not comfortable to do them. But you get there,

99
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: you have a quick drinking poo and all of a

100
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: sudden it's like, hey, this is fine, grass fun. These

101
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: are nice fellas.

102
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: You think Jefferson got like halfway through the Declaration of

103
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: Independence that I.

104
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: Just don't feel like finishing this.

105
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: God, if Madison hitsed me with we don't need a

106
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: pillar race one more time, I'm gonna box his ears.

107
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 2: And he had a couple of beers and everything was fine, Yeah, exactly,

108
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: exactly perfect. Although the end of that commercial, there was

109
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: a couple of aspects of that commercial which were bracingly

110
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: honest about the downside and side effects of using that

111
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:47,559
Speaker 2: as a crutch in life.

112
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: Certainly, or yeah, if you go too far. That's the

113
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: problem with the whole couple of beers thing for some

114
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: of us is, uh, it's.

115
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: Hard to not do it always or take it way

116
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 3: beyond a couple right and working totally.

117
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: I don't seem to be progressive guy, which is lucky

118
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 2: for me as a alcohol enthusiast my entire life. But

119
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: I think about the evening and I will give up

120
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: drinking for spans of time just to make sure I

121
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,679
Speaker 2: can and that I still know how to wind down

122
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: for bed without you know, getting my drink on. But

123
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: if it's not one of those nights, if it's gonna

124
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: be one of those nights where I have my Scotch

125
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: or maybe even a glass of wine with dinner or whatever,

126
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 2: I really look forward to it. And you know, it

127
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: may not show. I actually work a lot at this job,

128
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: probably too much. It makes me insane, and I really

129
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 2: look forward to that, and it makes me happy thinking

130
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: about it.

131
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: But I'd love to.

132
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 2: I wish they could, like, you know, take a swab

133
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: out of your cheek or something and say, oh, you've

134
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: done twenty one percent damage to your health and are

135
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: going to die X number of years prematurely cause you

136
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: won't put down the bottle.

137
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 3: Why do you want to know that? Bliss and that

138
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: I don't want to know.

139
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: No, I'm the world's greatest fan of realism. I want

140
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: to know exactly what I'm putting in my body.

141
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: And what do you think that? Do you think you

142
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: think you would change behavior based on that?

143
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 4: I might?

144
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah? Really?

145
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: I mean, for instance, if they said, yeah, you feel

146
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: great today, but you're gonna have a devastating stroke in

147
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: March in April, well yeah, all right, just as a

148
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: for instance, what what if it was in two years,

149
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,679
Speaker 2: I'd want to know that if it's probably more realistically

150
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: that you know, maybe you lose I don't know, instead

151
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: of dying at eighty nine, you die at eighty seven.

152
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to change your behavior for that.

153
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: I wouldn't, right, yeah, especially if those last two years

154
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: are the really difficult, painful for everybody barely hanging out.

155
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, have people because you ain't got

156
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: a couple of beers, all right, right, I would love

157
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: That'd be fantastic. Maybe someday with AI, they'll able to

158
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: figure all that out where everything will have that on

159
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: the label. You know, you eat this candy bar, you

160
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: just shaved. I don't know, forty five seconds off your

161
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: life or something.

162
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 3: I don't like this world we're creating right.

163
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: Now, I'm eating it. It'll be like the calorie thing.

164
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: You know, you go, you get a muffin. It works

165
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: on me, the calorie thing.

166
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 3: Definitely.

167
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: I go to Starbucks and I think, I like, I'll

168
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: get a muffin in it four hundred and fifty calories.

169
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 3: And it ain't worth that.

170
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: Those muffins designed for what to feed an elementary school.

171
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 3: They're so enormous and dense.

172
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: But if it said it'll cut five minutes off your life,

173
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: it'd be pretty easy to say five minutes.

174
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: What do I care?

175
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: All sorts of different philosophies too. I mean, the body

176
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: is a temple. You know, God has built it. You

177
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: should honor it. That's one philosophy I respect. But a

178
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: lot of my greatest think favorite thinkers, from hl Menkin

179
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: to Thomas Jefferson to all sorts of different people were

180
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: one hundred percent on the Yeah, I could live a

181
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 2: life of complete discipline and so.

182
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 3: Right, But what the hell is the point of that? Yeah,

183
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: let's enjoy ourselves. It's a short ride.

184
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 5: Goodness, save everything in moderation.

185
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 3: Exactly, exactly, if you can do that with that.

186
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 5: For now, I keep thinking if I knew how many

187
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 5: toes I could lose by eating sweets, like if it

188
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 5: was only two, but I could eat for twenty years.

189
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you're afraid of you're gonna lose your whole foot, right.

190
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 5: I don't want to do that, But but a toe

191
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 5: or two I can still get around.

192
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 3: Like your ring toe.

193
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, something like that.

194
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: Gonna say you gotta judge it on toe by toe.

195
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: Basically every toe is created equal.

196
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 5: Something to think about.

197
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 3: Well, I guess that's it.
