It was right after I was. 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:50.160 Diagnosed. 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:56.800 You came in February twenty three, so I couldn't go. 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.320 Well hopefully I'll well, well, you know, I might do 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.280 another tour in twenty twenty six. I'll try to come 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:11.320 back to uh to Detroit's. Yeah, but anyway, Yeah, I 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.760 was gonna say, yeah, I'm sure you see like people 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.720 you clips or whatever. But yeah, like like I said, 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.320 it didn't have to be it. It can be as 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:21.600 labor intensive as you want it to be, or it 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.280 could just be like a fun passion project that you 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:29.680 do just because you want to talk to people. And 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.880 I'm in that too a little bit because again, like 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.080 this podcast, this version of the podcast, like taking phone 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.840 calls and stuff is like, you know, my my business 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.360 and career and whatnot. But like the the stuff that 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.720 I do outside of this where I'm just chatting with 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.040 people on the street is you know, I just do 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.000 that because it's fun. Yeah, that's why sometimes I don't 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:53.080 even post the episodes. 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.800 Huh yeah, yeah, I like that idea. Yeah, I have 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.680 all kinds of random stuff on my you tube channel. 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.840 It started with horse training because I had a farm 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:08.720 where I boarded and trained horses. So it's got some 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:13.320 It's Equine Charm School. Drop the name. 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:15.960 Oh hold on, yeah, okay, let's get another plug. Go 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.040 and how do you spell equine e. 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.280 Q U I n E. 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:26.920 School charm school? Well, you know either way, I mean, 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:33.880 I love the idea. I love Oh is it Kennedy 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:34.840 Equine Center. 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.520 Nope?

I 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.920 think it's I think it's awesome. I'm I'm I'm I am, 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:56.680 I am uh truly, I I am inspired by you 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:02.880 continuing to at all states of your life reinvent yourself 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.360 and try new things and do something that I think 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:06.880 that's like the coolest fucking thing. 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:11.720 Oh, definitely have done a lot of that, I'm sure. 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:12.320 Yeah. 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:16.359 Yeah, I did some traveling, did a lot of career changes, 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:21.720 and yep, just keep moving forward. 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:24.400 Yeah. 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:31.080 I actually actually invented a device that made anesthetizing cats 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.760 and rats in my safer for people and less stressful 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.920 for the animal, but it just never took off. I 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:43.680 put a lot of time and money into it, and eventually, finally, 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:48.160 after like fifteen years, I finally dropped it. And I 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:52.040 still have parts, like maybe I'll go back and do 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:52.960 something with it. 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:56.840 But yeah, what is anesthetizing? 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.200 So putting to sleep for surgery? 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.560 Oh oh oh oh you made you invented a thing 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.280 that allows you to put mice to sleep so you 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:07.720 can do surgery on them. 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.680 Yeah, it made it safer for people because the way 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:15.520 they currently did it exposed people to a lot of 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.840 the gas. You know how they put a face mask 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.320 over your nose and tell you to breathe and you're 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:25.960 breathing that gas. Well, in the research world. 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.560 You have a box. It's a little box like. 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.800 Five by eight size. You put a mouse in there 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.439 and you fill it with the gas, and the mouse 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.639 goes to sleep, and then you open the box and 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:44.960 all that gas escapes into the air and you're breathing it, 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.719 which is not good for you. So I came up 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.800 with the way that sucked the gas out of the 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:52.200 box before you opened it. 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:56.439 M that's cool that they care enough about mice to 0:17:57.760 --> 0:17:58.600 sleep before. 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:03.280 Oh yeah, oh there's yeah, yeah. There's a lot of 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:10.399 rules and regulations and oversight and and they're pretty you know, pretty, 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.320 it's very well regulated. 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:14.560 So that's not how I thought it was. I thought 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.280 that they were just like I thought that I thought 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:21.439 in general, the consensus in the scientific community was just 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:22.359 fuck mice. 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:27.800 Well, yeah, it depends who you ask. I guess, I 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:34.439 mean because and that's where I found my niche because scientists, biologists, 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:39.359 you know, they know their research, they know they're a 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:41.600 lot smarter than me in a lot of ways, but 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:43.639 they don't know how to handle the mouth, and a 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.160 lot of times they didn't have the respect for the animal. 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:47.800 So I was. 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:52.240 Able to go in and help them do things better, 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:55.000 more respectful for the animal, and better for the animal, 0:18:55.080 --> 0:19:00.760 and safer for them, and help them, you know, past 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:04.320 all the inspections and regulations and things like that. 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:11.800 Nice nice, nice, nice. Well, I'm sorry to hear that. You're, uh, 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:14.760 you got divorced from I mean, I don't you didn't 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:22.200 even get divorced. You just I think the horse, well whatever, Actually, 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:24.280 I mean, I guess he probably didn't know a lot 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.960 because he's a horse, or maybe he knows horses no stuff. Sometimes. 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.119 Yeah, yeah, they have good memories, for sure. 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:34.159 Janet, Is there anything else you want to say to 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:35.439 the people of the computer before we go. 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:41.920 Yes, I would say that, uh, do you agree that 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:43.960 animals sleep and they dream? 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:48.359 Do I agree that animals dream? I think so? 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:48.720 Yeah. 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:52.480 Like I've seen, uh, I got a Golden Retriever back 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:59.200 home with my family and I've seen it have nightmares 0:19:59.200 --> 0:19:59.520 and ship. 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:05.320 Yeah, like they're running and they were, so their unconscious 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:08.840 mind is dreaming, right, So if they have an unconscious mind, 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.480 they have a conscious mind. And if they have a 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:16.080 conscious mind, they are pretty similar the way they think. 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:19.119 There's a lot of differences, but they have feelings, they 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:20.440 have consciousness. 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:27.000 Well, thank God for for consciousness. I don't know why, 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:27.919 but I. 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.360 Said, no, you did well. 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:33.520 Thank you very much, Janet. 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:35.200 Awesome, thanks for calling. 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:40.320 Have a good one all right, love you, love you too. Bye. 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:42.360 Nah. 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:44.719 People got they got people. Gotta be telling them I 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:49.240 love them again. Ah. Fuck, I couldn't. I couldn't. I 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:54.639 couldn't leave Janet on hold. I'm not but you know what, whatever, whatever, 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:57.040 who cares about anything? Who cares about anything? I feel 0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:00.920 good right now. That was a nice converse issue with Janet. 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:03.440 I feel good right now. I've been talking a lot 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:06.439 about Uh. I think I've been talked a lot of 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.600 the past few episodes about uh being in like a 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:19.960 weird existential crisis state and the antidote to that. Besides 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:23.280 you know, I mean fucking you know, I'm gonna go 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:27.120 get on meds or whatever. But I think the antidote 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:33.840 to that is like bringing yourself back to uh fucking 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:41.639 reality by uh, like doing things, not giving your brain 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:47.000 too much time to just fucking spiral. So I, yeah, 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:54.200 feeling good. Hello, Hello, Hey, what's up man? How you 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:55.560 doing good? 0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:56.040 Are you doing? 0:21:56.920 --> 0:21:59.120 H I'm actually doing pretty good. 0:21:59.480 --> 0:21:59.640 Uh. 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:04.160 I haven't taken phone calls in like a week or two. 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:09.359 I was just kind of focusing on like chilling out 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:12.639 and stuff. And I'm actually I'm feeling pretty good. I 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:17.399 feel very connected to reality in this very moment. 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:24.160 That's good. You're sorry in Japan, right, Yeah. 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:27.439 It was. I was in Japan for two months. I 0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:29.760 might go back. I have no I kind of don't 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:34.280 really know what I'm gonna do with my life moving forward, 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:38.040 but yeah, I might go back. It was a great time. 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:44.440 It was a great time. It's interesting being back in 0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:46.760 New York. It's a different vibe, but there is it 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:49.800 is nice to be in a place where you speak 0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:52.520 the language and you feel a little bit more like 0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:57.240 you belong there in some sense. But yeah, man, that's 0:22:57.240 --> 0:22:59.160 that's what's up with me? What's up with you? Sir? 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:04.159 Oh goodness, sorry, I'm like very nervous.

Sometimes I'll just kind of feel like 0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:04.359 an idiot because I do a little comedy sketches, you know, 0:24:05.200 --> 0:24:08.960 and there's such a back and forth between I really 0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:13.159 got something here, I gotta keep trying, or you know, 0:24:13.359 --> 0:24:14.760 it's time to do something else. 0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:19.639 Okay, When you well, yeah, I'm I'm curious about a 0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:21.960 few things. When you say I really got something here, 0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:25.320 what does that mean? What do you feel like you've got? 0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:29.760 I feel like I got to create a bone, you know. 0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:34.560 I feel like I can't be doing anything but creating. Yeah. 0:24:35.760 --> 0:24:38.879 I love comedy. I love sketch comedy. I love everything 0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:43.000 about it. And every time I'm like filming something, I 0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:45.159
