Speaker 3: I'm good? How is Payne?

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: Lindsay? He's tired. This whole podcasting thing is, you know,

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: not as easy as it looks. You have to talk

11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: and use your mouth and breathe in and breathe out.

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: You have to wake up at reasonable times, do zoom calls.

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: It's actually pretty sweet. Yeah. I was gonna say, there's

14
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: something about the very first episode of any true crime show,

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: especially Up and Vanished. That first episode. It just there's

16
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: so much pressure to do it the right way, creatively,

17
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: and to deliver the information that you need and lay

18
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: it all out there for you. It's hard when my

19
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: head is in another place deep in this case, but

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm having to rewind time and go back and deliver

21
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: you the basic facts of this story so you can

22
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: slowly get up to speed to where I'm at. And

23
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: so it is always an interesting exercise to kind of

24
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: go back in time a little bit and re enter

25
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: the mind frame I had basically a year ago when

26
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 1: I knew nothing about this case. There's also an important

27
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: factor to that, I think, because it's easy just to

28
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: jump straight to wherever my head is at right now

29
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: in the story. But I need to be able to

30
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: help you, as the listener, get to where I'm at,

31
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: so you understand why I feel that way or why

32
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: it's going this direction, who these people are, how do

33
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: we get to this point That really starts with the

34
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: foundation of episode one. So I just want to say

35
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: welcome to any and all of the Up and Vanished

36
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: listeners who migrated over from the Up and Vanished Feed

37
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: to check out the show. Season four drops in ten

38
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: days on February sixteenth, and starting that day on Friday

39
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: the sixteenth, we will be doing special recap episodes and

40
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: giving you exclusive bonus content and insight and interviews with

41
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: other true crime podcasters about Up and Vantish and about

42
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: making true crime podcasts right here on Talking to Death. Yeah,

43
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm excited about being able to present this to you

44
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: in a way that maybe I can't necessarily do exactly

45
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: on the up and Vanished RSS feed, I can be

46
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more candid, give you a little bit

47
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: more insight on my thoughts and opinions on things, to

48
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: offer you what I think. You know, people always ask

49
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: what do you think? And a lot of times I

50
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: cut that out of the Up and Vanish show because

51
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be as objective as possible. I'm not

52
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: trying to sway you in one way or the other.

53
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: But obviously we're all human and I do have personal

54
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: thoughts about every single aspect of this case, and I'll

55
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: be able to give that to you on this show.

56
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: And so again reminder, starting on the sixteenth episode one

57
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: drops on the up and Vanished Feed as normal, and

58
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: right after that you can come back here to Talking

59
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: to Death and we'll give you a whole bunch that

60
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: you cannot get in the Up and Vanish Feed. And

61
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna do that every single week. And we have

62
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: some really cool guests lined up, good friends of mine,

63
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: other true crime podcasters and experts in this space. And yeah,

64
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: I'm excited to pull the curtain back a little bit

65
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: this season and speak a little bit more freely on

66
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: some of the intricate aspects of this case, and also

67
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: the story building podcast building process. I kind of realized

68
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: that because of the way up in Vanished Sounds, being

69
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 1: this sort of cinematic story with music and a mix

70
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: of different range of audio taking you through this sonic space,

71
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: it's easy to forget how real some of these elements

72
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: are of the story, and I think it's important to

73
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: continue to highlight that and remind you just how real

74
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: all of this stuff is. And so I think that's

75
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: what you'll probably glean from a lot of the inside

76
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: stuff that we talk about right here on this show

77
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: starting on the sixteenth, and so at the end of

78
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: this episode, I will play a sixty second clip from

79
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: episode one that you can only hear here. It's a

80
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: snippet from part of the cold open of episode one,

81
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: just to give you a little taste. But moving on,

82
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: I also want to welcome all the radio rental listeners.

83
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: Thank you for migrating over. Today's episode is one of

84
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: my favorites so far, if not my absolute favorite, definitively

85
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: Rain Wilson, who is an amazing human being. Anyway, Today's

86
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: guest is Rain Wilson. You obviously know him from the office.

87
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: He played Dwight. He's also been in a bunch of

88
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: other really funny movies. He plays Terry Carnation on our

89
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: show Radio Rental. And it's funny because whenever I was

90
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: making Radio Rental, and I had this idea of an

91
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: anthology series that was a collection of weird, bizarre, supernatural

92
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: Twilight Zone esque stories that lived in a fictional world

93
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: that became Radio Rental, which is this fictional VHS rental store,

94
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: and there's this eclectic, bizarre, goofy ass shopkeeper and that's

95
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: Terry Carnation. And when I was building the show, I

96
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: had this vision for this shopkeeper character, and for whatever reason,

97
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: all I could picture in my head was Rain Wilson,

98
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: and I had no backup plan if we couldn't get

99
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: him to do it. I didn't even think that we

100
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: really could get him to do it. It was just

101
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: maybe I was trying to manifest that happening. Well, through

102
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: a series of emails and calls, I was able to

103
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: get on a zoom call with him, and I knew

104
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: that it was my one shot at locking him in

105
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: for this show. And I don't want to spoil too

106
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: much of it because Rain and I go into how

107
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: Terry Carnation started and how radio rentals started. But we

108
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: get into that and he also shares his own spooky story,

109
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: you could call his own radio rental story. This is

110
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: just a great human being. He's just funny as shit.

111
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: I've known him for a couple of years, but we've

112
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: only had so many sit down, long form conversations with

113
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: each other. And we have a really deep conversation about spirituality.

114
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: We talk about UFOs for a little bit, we talk

115
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: about podcasting, we talk about mental health. We kind of

116
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: go everywhere, and he's an open book, which I really appreciate.

117
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: And I think you'll really enjoy this episode and stay

118
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 1: tuned to the very end where I'll play a sixty

119
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: second clip from Up and Vanished episode one that comes

120
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: out on the sixteenth that you can only hear right

121
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: here on talking to death. So I googled your name

122
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: earlier today. See what you did? You were?

123
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 2: Is it like actresses? And it's like if you're google

124
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 2: an actress, it's like feet come up first because all

125
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: the foot fetishes.

126
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you try it, just.

127
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: Like reneis el Wigger, reneesel Wiger feet. Okay, I wonder

128
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: if Rain Wilson feet comes up.

129
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm looking for it. He does. Well, there you go.

130
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: It's from the office.

131
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: That's disgusting.

132
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: Are you serious?

133
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: Is that on Wiki feet?

Speaker 4: No?

Speaker 2: Have you been hiding under a rock, Petlin?

139
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: Why do feet need their own Wikipedia page?

140
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 2: Why do you think? Cause there's foot fetishist perverts out

141
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: there who love just anything involved with feet. There's all

142
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,559

Speaker 2: What happened was, you know, I just did some acting

159
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: and raised the sun and started a couple media companies

160
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: and and had a great time and worked on my

161
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: tennis game, did you? But uh, yeah, I play a

162
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: lot of tennis. But that's in fact I played in

163
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: two matches this weekend lost them both. But yeah, that's

164
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: that's what happens when you're known for like this one

165
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: role and then I haven't played Dwighton now ten years,

166
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 2: ten eleven years.

167
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: It's a it's an offensive question. It's like you're assuming

168
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: that you did ye know what what happened to you? Who?

169
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah? And you can just go to IMDb and just

170
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 2: look at the credits there. It's pretty easy to do.

171
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's like, what happened?

172
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: Right? There's updates? What does Rain Wilson speak about.

173
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: English?

174
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: I've asked this and what did they mean?

175
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: I speak about feet, I speak about what happened to

176
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: Rain Wilson. I think that you know this because this

177
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: book came out sol Boom six months ago, and so

178
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 2: I've just been doing a lot of speaking tours and

179
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: going to college campuses and stuff like that. So okay,

180
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: my imagination goes to, like, why is you know, And

181
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: one of the questions I bring up in the book

182
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: early on is like, why the hell is the guy

183
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: who played Dwight on the Office talking about spirituality? So

184
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 2: I wonder if it's just people like this is just weird?

185
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: How do I process this?

186
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? Do you feel like people in general and maybe

187
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: and we're probably even a victim of that too, just

188
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: when they know someone for a thing, Yeah, that it's like,

189
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: oh does it go that? Does that thing? He can't

190
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: do this thing in this thing at the same time, Yeah,

191
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: like our brains just won't let us or absolutely, what's

192
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: up with that? Yeah?

193
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: I think people just get lazy in that way. I

194
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 2: think that, And by the way, it works that way

195
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 2: in show business too. It's kind of like, Oh, it's

196
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 2: the guy who plays Dwight. So he plays big, weird

197
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: comic characters on sitcoms and he's not really an actor,

198
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: but I played you know, I played dozens of roles

199
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: in the theater before I ever got to do TV

200
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: and film, And then I played dozens of roles in

201
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: TV and film before I played Dwight.

202
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: Right.

203
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 2: Then while I was playing Dwight, I played another good

204
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 2: dozen and a couple dozen roles, and you know, in

205
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: movies like Super and you know, lots of other some

206
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: some bigger movies, some smaller movies. And then after Dwight,

207
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 2: you know, ten or eleven years ago, I played dozens

208
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: of roles. So this is what an actor does, right,

209
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: You play roles and you transform. I'm not like, I'm

210
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: not the Dwight guy, but act I act. One of

211
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: those roles took off like a rocket, right and was

212
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:31,479
Speaker 2: a home run, great TV show. Love it, thrilled, so grateful.

213
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: But guys, I'm an actor. You're a podcaster and journalist

214
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: and host, right.

215
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: Just a podcaster though forever?

216
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: Just a podcast, No, just a true crime podcaster if

217
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: there's not a dead body involved, no one, yes.

218
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: A fuck or you though. I'll do a new podcast

219
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: like High Strange, for example, and I'll put it out

220
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: and someone will someone will make a comment on my

221
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: Instagram and say, is this the new up and Vanished?

222
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: Like what how could it be? I would be the

223
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: worst marketing executive known to man to call the new

224
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: season of Up and Vanished High Strange.

225
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: And only be about UFOs and nothing else. Yeah, I

226
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: got two more him. What's Rain Wilson's real name?

227
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: It's very true, but I will say it is Rain

228
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: Dietrick Wilson. But it's hysterical. Someone on my Wikipedia slipped

229
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: in the name Percival. So on my Wikipedia it says

230
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: Rain Perceval Wilson or Rain Percival Dietrick Wilson. I forget

231
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 2: which one it is. And now that's showing up all over.

232
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: I went and did an interview with someone. There's so like,

233
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: So Rain Percival, how'd you get the name Perceval? So

234
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 2: bravo to you, chef's kiss, kudos.

235
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: He stuck it, just stuck. Those donations they want all

236
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: Wikipedia and they can't get it right.

237
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: So they can't get it right.

238
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: I like it.

239
00:13:59,000 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: It works for me.

240
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: They did, well, they told you it works for me.

241
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: How did this is? So this is a bad one.

242
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: How does Rain Wilson pronounce his name.

243
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: Ryen Wilson?

244
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: So that's what I thought. Yeah, I've been saying it

245
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: wrong the whole time.

246
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: That was another one that was you know, always with

247
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: substitute teachers, they'd be like Ryan, It's like, well it's

248
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: Rain ri a I N right. Yeah, then if you

249
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: add an N, how does that? How would that possibly

250
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: change the vowel sound there?

251
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: Like it's more of rain now it's rain?

252
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you.

253
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. When you were on the journey of becoming an actor,

254
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: growing up and going through Hollywood, before the office and

255
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: before any of your big movies, did you aspire to

256
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: be where you are today? Uh? Like? What did? What

257
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: was the perfect vision you had for yourself? If you

258
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: had done it correctly or fulfilled your dream?

259
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: Well? I love that question, Payne, seriously, I do, because

260
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: it's my career and my life as an actor surpassed

261
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: my wildest dreams. I never in a thousand years would

262
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: have thought that I would be a guy. And when

263
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: you go into target, my face is on mugs and

264
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: on bath mats and you know, and dish towels.

265
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: Are you numb to it?

266
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: I mean, every once in a while people will send

267
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: me some new things like, oh look, my face is

268
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: on jellybeans now, Like, I hope I get a check

269
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: for that. That's so weird. But I yeah, you know,

270
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: I started, I really fell in love with acting, and

271
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: I fell in love with the theater. And I was

272
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: a nerdy theater kid. I was a nerdy kid in

273
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: high school and I was I played the bassoon, and

274
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: I was in the marching band, and I was in

275
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: Model United Nations and I was on the chess team,

276
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: and I was just dorky Dungeons and Dragons kid. And

277
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: then I moved to this new school that had a

278
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: good drama department and I started doing acting, and which

279
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: is also dorky in a slightly different way. Yeah, And

280
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: I found I was pretty good at it and I

281
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 2: could make people laugh, and I was always kind of

282
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: a goofball and I would just channel that into acting.

283
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: And I fell in love with acting in theater, and

284
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: then did a bunch of plays in college, and then

285
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: I went to acting school in New York. Again just

286
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: did nothing but theater. I wasn't even thinking about film

287
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: or TV. And it's funny the.

288
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: I did.

289
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: One of my first jobs was this bus and truck

290
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: Shakespeare tour going around the United States, and we performed

291
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream. And we

292
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: would pull into like a community college or downtown somewhere

293
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: and we would set up our RinkyDink little stage and

294
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 2: we would perform, and sometimes it was high school sometimes

295
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: a high school auditoriums at like ten am, and it

296
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: was which is brutal. And one of the guys on

297
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: the tour was Jeffrey Wright. I forget is he nominated

298
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 2: for anick Oscar this year. He's in the new film

299
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: American Fiction. He's been in tons of stuff. You'd recognize

300
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: him in a heart beat. He's he's an incredible actor.

301
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 2: And I was playing Demetrius in Midsommer Night's Dream and

302
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: he was Puck. And we finished the tour. We were

303
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: on the road for like seven months. Well, get back

304
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: to pick up our mail at the office and I

305
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: remember looking at my bank statement. It's like I had

306
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 2: saved the whole tour. I had saved twelve hundred dollars.

307
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: Damn.

308
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: And I was coming back to New York City with

309
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: twelve hundred dollars in the bank and I had just

310
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: worked for six or seven months. I was like fuck.

311
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: And then Jeffrey Wright is opening his mail and he's

312
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 2: like WHOA, And I look over and he was like what.

313
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 2: He goes I got a residual checks. Being residual he

314
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: did three days on a Harrison Ford movie. He had

315
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 2: a check for thirty five hundred dollars and in residual.

316
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: Dollble what you did for seven months? That Harrison Ford money.

317
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 2: And I just was I just shook my head and

318
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, I need in the wrong business.

319
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: I need to really seriously think about. And that's when

320
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 2: I started going like, okay, shit, I gotta I really

321
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: got to pursue this more, and not just you know,

322
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 2: you can barely keep the lights on as a theater actor,

323
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: but I got to supplement it with some TV and film.

324
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: But I just thought of myself like, oh, I'm gonna

325
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: do some cool plays at some theaters, you know, and

326
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 2: I'm going to go, you know, what's the Alliance in Atlanta?

327
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: And I'm going to go to the Mark Tapeer Forum

328
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 2: and maybe some off Broadway. And then occasionally I'll do

329
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: like a guest spot on Law and Order or some

330
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: or Frasier or something like that and and do a

331
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 2: quirky character and that'll kind of help me keep the

332
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: lights on and keep me in Trader Joe's money. So

333
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 2: I came to la in around the year two thousand

334
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: and things just started taking off here in a in

335
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 2: a kind of a crazy way. And after a few

336
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: years of you know, some guest spots and movie roles

337
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: and whatnot. I got on Six Feet Under, which is

338
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 2: the show I did before the Office, which was a

339
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 2: big show on HBO at the time, and then onto

340
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: the Office after that, so and then like lead roles

341
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: in feature films and development deals and all kinds of opportunities.

342
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 2: I was this door again. I was this pimply Dungeons

343
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 2: and Dragons kid who turned into a theater geek. So

344
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 2: it's beyond my wildest dreams one hundred percent.

345
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: Did you ever reach a point in your career where

346
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: you felt like you had done it all at the

347
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: height of the busyness of the office. What kept driving

348
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: you to keep going back to work and not just say, man,

349
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: I did it. I'm tired.

350
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: Well, it's funny you say that, because it's like kind

351
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: of right now, I'm like in my late fifties and

352
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, wow, I've really I won't say I've done

353
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 2: it all, because I haven't obviously, but you know, I've

354
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: never been nominated for an Oscar, let's say, although you

355
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 2: know that's a long shot, but there is part of

356
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 2: me is kind of like, you know, I did ten

357
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 2: years in the theater, and I did twenty years in

358
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 2: film and TV. I've played a bunch of memorable roles.

359
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 2: I got a bunch of Emmy nominations, did not win,

360
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jeremy Piven. And and now that I'm doing

361
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 2: kind of more writing and podcasting and some other you

362
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: know stuff in nonprofit world, I part of me is like, yeah,

363
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 2: do I want to stick with this acting thing. I

364
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 2: don't think I'd ever like quit acting, but I think

365
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 2: I would like, as they say, i'd be entertaining offers,

366
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: you know, just kind of like I'm not going to

367
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,719
Speaker 2: pursue shit. If someone wants to offer me X amount

368
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: of money to go play a cool role somewhere, I

369
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 2: would I would seriously consider it. But it's part of me.

370
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 2: Part of me is kind of at that place right now,

371
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: like I don't have the same hustle that I had

372
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: ten or fifteen years ago.

373
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: We're not starving artists anymore, are you. I mean I

374
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: was that part of it happy a little bit.

375
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: That is part of it. Yeah, absolutely, And you know

376
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 2: I didn't have a trust fund, and you know, I

377
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: needed to make the money myself. And if I wasn't

378
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: going to get the next guest spot or the next

379
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 2: pilot role. Then I wasn't going to be able to

380
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: pay rent, So that is definitely a driver. But then

381
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: it starts to get really unhealthy. And you know, even

382
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 2: when I was on the office and making a lot

383
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 2: of money, like, there was long periods of time while

384
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: on the Office where I was really unhappy because it

385
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 2: just it wasn't enough, you know, it just well, it's

386
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 2: kind of maybe maybe you can relate to this, and

387
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear your take on it too. I

388
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: think it's that it's that ancient human kind of crazy

389
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 2: hunger like for more, like, oh, this feels good, I

390
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: want some more. Like I was talking to bj Novak

391
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 2: about it and he was like, we both had that.

392
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: We did this event at the ninety second Street y

393
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 2: and we said the one thing we regret most about

394
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 2: the Office that we didn't enjoy it more. So here

395
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 2: we are. Here, I am on one of the most

396
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 2: successful TV shows ever, nominated for Emmys, making nice money,

397
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 2: great people, people love the show. It's really high quality.

398
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, but I want I want

399
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 2: more more, you know what, I want more more fame,

400
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: I want more money, I want more attention. I want

401
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 2: more status. I want to be I want to like,

402
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: you know, Will Ferrell, Jack Black, those guys have like

403
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 2: big ass and movie star careers like can I want that?

404
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: And and that didn't work out for me. And frankly,

405
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,239
Speaker 2: well kind of I'm pretty funny, but I'm not at

406
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: a Will Ferrell Jack Black level funny, you know what

407
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: I mean. And that's okay, I'm I'm fine with that,

408
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: But it's that it's that old, that ancient human conundrum

409
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 2: of like it's never enough, it's never enough. I mean

410
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 2: John d Rockefeller, the richest man in the world at

411
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:23,479
Speaker 2: the time, had a reporter ask him how much money

412
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 2: is enough, and he famously replied, just a little bit more.

413
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: So that's kind of how I was on the office.

414
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: It was like, just a little bit more as opposed

415
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: to this is fucking great man, just fucking enjoy it.

416
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: So what would you have done, literally differently with this,

417
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: with this hindsight you have now.

418
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 2: It's most literally just be grateful for what I have

419
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 2: and just relish.

420
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: It and punish yourself in front and get to another level.

421
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: Or yeah, you know, of course, what I have tried

422
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: to develop projects and audition and try and do some

423
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: film rolls, of course, but just be much less attached

424
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 2: to the outcome. You know, the Buddha teaches about suffering

425
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 2: and the root cause of suffering is attachment and grasping, right,

426
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 2: It's it's it's not being present in yourself and just

427
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 2: being at peace with what you have, kind of one

428
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 2: breath at a time, being in the moment. It's it's

429
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 2: this constant human clutching and grasping for something outside of

430
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,719
Speaker 2: ourselves to fill the void, to fill, to fill the

431
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 2: pain and soothe the pain. And I would have just

432
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: done less clutching and grasping, that's all. How are you

433
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: dealing with that? You know, one of the most successful

434
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: podcasters in the country that put you in the top ten.

435
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: You know, you have the Midas touch, so many of

436
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 2: your shows go into the top ten. You have you

437
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: just have a really for whatever reason, you're this kind

438
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 2: of like.

439
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: Whacking your now you weird mother.

440
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 2: You look like, you know, an ecstasy swilling club kid.

441
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: Thank you, but you for some reason, I'll tell your

442
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: kid drugs. You look like you'd sell someone Molly at Coachella, But.

443
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: I know the good kind of molly, yeah, yeah, not

444
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: the you know, overdose, not the Bathtub.

445
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, and but you know, you've you've been incredibly successful,

446
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 2: mostly in true crime, but you know, yeah Radio Rental

447
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: and High Strange and many other great shows. And how

448
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: does that feel for you? Does it feel like does

449
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 2: it feel like, well, I want the TV deal or

450
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: I want Tenderfoot to be bought by Amazon, or why

451
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 2: I want to cash in in this way? And how

452
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 2: I how come no one's approached me to have a

453
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 2: you know, my own show or you know, do you

454
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 2: know what I mean?

455
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: Like I mean totally, I mean like when Up and

456
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: Vanished became successful, that was the first time I'd ever

457
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: gotten the taste of of anything like that, And it

458
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: was to me a culmination of all the work I'd

459
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: done throughout my whole career, going back to being doing

460
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: my own music and doing music videos and eventually telling

461
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: my own true crime story. And once it started clicking,

462
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, a part of me, for the sustainability of

463
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: my own future and to have a career and to

464
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: no longer be a starting artist, was going to grab

465
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: on to the horns and never let go. And the

466
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: first thought I had after up in Vanish was I

467
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: don't want to be known just as the up and

468
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: Vanish Guy. This was a conscious thought that I had.

469
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: So I went and made Atlanta Monster, and then I

470
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: went on tour. Then I made up in Vantish season

471
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: two that I made Radio Rental, and and then I

472
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: looked up one day I was like, you know what

473
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: liill happened over these four years? Like how did I

474
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: I'm in a house that I bought? Now, how did

475
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: I get here? Right? And it wasn't really until last

476
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: year when I was working on High Strange that I

477
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: had this sort of eye opening moment and I realized

478
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: editing an episode of High Strange that this this moment

479
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: that I was in is like the pinnacle of my happiness.

480
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: I love building this world. I like having set this up,

481
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: and I'm in full control over this this thing, and

482
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: it's fun and it's all for the right reasons, and

483
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: it's all these different boxes are checked and so it's

484
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: not about doing this to get here, it's about being

485
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: able to keep doing this at all or having.

486
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: Well that's good, that's very healthy in a way where.

487
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: It's like just doing it is kind of the point

488
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: for me, I think, But look.

489
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 2: Man, this is how we're both so lucky. We're we

490
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 2: both get to tell stories. Yeah, we're storytellers in different ways.

491
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 2: An actor is a storyteller, a podcast producer, host, director,

492
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 2: editor is as well. And you know, the thing I

493
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 2: love about your stories is like I'm a huge up

494
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 2: and Vanish fan, but and Atlanta Monster, Like you have

495
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: a social commentary running through it. It's not just salacious

496
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 2: true crime, like you're like you're peeling the onion and

497
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 2: kind of like a little bit on how the world

498
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 2: works and even in high strange and like the conspiracies

499
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: around around you know, uae S and and the government

500
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 2: and cover ups and uh, it's it's dare I say

501
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 2: it's important, you know what.

502
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: I mean, like like it means that that approach or Yeah.

503
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 2: And also the way that you did like season up

504
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 2: in Vanish was it Season three them, you know on

505
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 2: the on the Indian reservation, like the the the the

506
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: injustice and the economic injustice going on and the reality

507
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 2: of that life, like you open that up to millions

508
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: of people.

509
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a scary topic to try to try

510
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: to navigate. It's like, I mean, it's it sounds messed up,

511
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: but it would be easier not saying I should or

512
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: I want to to make it about a white woman,

513
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: because if there's less tape to navigate, to do it

514
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: respectfully and appropriately, and that just comes with the territory.

515
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: And those are challenges that I want to take on

516
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: because I think that's probably reason why people who are

517
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: really talented don't do that, is because they don't want

518
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: to challenge themselves and stepping out of the box and

519
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: learn something about somebody else and how their life is

520
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: different than theirs, versus doing what they know how to

521
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: do already. Yeah you know what I mean.

522
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said, well, I'm glad you made that adjustment

523
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 2: and that you get to just relish doing what you

524
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 2: get to do, you know. And it's true when you

525
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: do a season of one of your one of your shows,

526
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 2: like you're you get to be like you get to

527
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: be God in a way, like you're controlling the story

528
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: and the tone and that and that.

529
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: Music you don't know?

530
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 2: Yeah right right, Yeah, you're slowly dispersing.

531
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: You're like you're dripping out RUMs. Yeah, come on, Okay,

532
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: I'll give you a bigger one because you're getting impatient.

533
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 2: Speaking of that, I want that. I want links to

534
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: the new The Homely season.

535
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was also super high when I texted

536
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: you that little clip and then I was like, you know,

537
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: I just made it, Like is this too much? Is

538
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: this amazing? Is this the worst shit I've ever done?

539
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know, but I'm like,

540
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: here it goes.

541
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 2: It's awesome.

542
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: You that's my that's my beta test is like, as

543
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm making the podcast, I'll export little nuggets and shoot

544
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: them out to some of my friends and you know,

545
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: just see what they say. Sometimes they say nothing. Sometimes

546
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: they're like a.

547
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: Lot of people out there in the yeah, West Beach.

548
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: All the way to the Riversion.

549
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 2: I don't want to give too much away.

550
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: It was really for me out by then. So that's how.

551
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: That's the cliffhanger for episode one, which comes out on

552
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: the sixteenth of February. Sweet, so this will be out. Actually,

553
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: it probably be almost bingeable by then. Crazy story though,

554
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean, this woman went missing from Nome, Alaska. I'm

555
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: not sure if you know where that.

556
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: Is on a Yeah, I canally Russia. Yeah it's so

557
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: far away.

558
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, small town of three thousand people and there's been

559
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: about twenty four unsolved disappearances in the past couple decades

560
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: and just very odd numbers for the size of the population,

561
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: and there's just some nefarious shit going on over there,

562
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: and it's been really scary and eye opening. I think

563
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: it's probably one of the most in depth seasons of

564
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: a show I've ever done. Damn excited to.

565
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 2: Did you ever feel in danger?

566
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: And absolutely so. Yeah, I'll just go ahead and say

567
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: this now because it'll be out or I'll just cut it.

568
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: But there was a time there's a guy, the main suspect,

569
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: and this woman was murdered. She's not just missing, she

570
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: didn't go off on her own. I believe she was murdered,

571
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: and there's a main suspect and her clothes or belongings

572
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: were last seen in his tent. He's the last man

573
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: to have seen her. He fled Nome after this. He's

574
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: got a big rap sheet. He's not a good guy.

575
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: And so I have a fake Facebook account that I

576
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: started years ago, so it looks kind of legit now

577
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: has been there for years. And I won't say the

578
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: name because people are gonna go fuck it up. But

579
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: I just started messaging him. I was like, hey, do

580
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: you miss Alaska? And I just started talking to him,

581
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,239
Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, he just took the bait, and

582
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: eventually I was trying.

583
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 2: To figure not under your name this face?

584
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: No, I catfished him and oh shit, I eventually found

585
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: out where he was. So I had the option of

586
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: going and pouncing on him and just saying, hey, boo, gotcha,

587
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: my name is Payne lindsay let's talk about this case,

588
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: which I knew he would just say fuck off. And

589
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: I was like, what's the point, Like why did I

590
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: come here?

591
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 3: Is?

592
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: Was it to get that moment for the podcast or

593
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: do I step out of my comfort zone or whatever

594
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: you think the journalistic ethics should be, and trying to

595
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: figure out if he did it or not, because that's

596
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: what the family wants me to do. And so I

597
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: met him as this fake guy, terrified that he was

598
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: going to figure out who I was. He didn't, and

599
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: we talked for two hours on the record, and in

600
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: my opinion, said some very incriminating statements. And to this day,

601
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm not fully sure if he knows if I'm paying

602
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: Lendsy or not he's he's about to know, or if

603
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: he does know, and he's trying to play the game

604
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: that I think he lost with trying to play with fire,

605
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: and so it's a very strange thing. But it's like

606
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: it's what the detectives do in the movies. Yeah, it's

607
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: like what they do on True Detective, but no one

608
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: is really doing that.

609
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah, but you get to do that.

610
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: But I was really doing that.

611
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah damn.

612
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: So yeah that was scary that I'll.

613
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 2: Be hones that sounds scary. Wow, wow, mad props man,

614
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 2: that's crazy.

615
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: You should tell bj Novac that I'm I wish that

616
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: I had a cameo in that movie he did about

617
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: the True Crime ding like it was so good and

618
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: he nailed it. They did send me some little box

619
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: or something, but they don't want the box I want,

620
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: Like I think some people like you know, not that

621
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: I'm anybody, would probably think that. I wouldn't want to

622
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: make fun of myself. But that's all like me and

623
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: my team ever talk about. Is how much of a

624
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: trope this shit is? Sometimes?

625
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's that's hysterical. Yeah, I love I love

626
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 2: the way he went right into that. Uh prefix yeah,

627
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 2: totally totally listen. I talk about this in Soul Boom

628
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 2: a lot, like it's it's the ancient spiritual journey that

629
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 2: we're on, and every spiritual journey has to do with

630
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: the ego, right, you go as far back as you want,

631
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 2: you can go to Zoroastrianism and Hinduism and Buddhism. It's

632
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: all about the ego. The ego wants pleasure, the ego

633
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 2: wants status, the ego wants control, The ego wants power,

634
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 2: The ego wants kind of sex and comfort. These are

635
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 2: this is our natural egoic you know, uh, desire and

636
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 2: that's it's our caveman desire. In what you're saying, it's

637
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 2: humanistc there's nothing wrong, per se and on the right level.

638
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 2: But then when you are given billions of dollars and

639
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 2: a great deal of power, that ego can uh. And

640
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 2: I've had little tastes of that, you know, I had

641
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: little tastes of that kind of narcissism and entitlement.

642
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: You mean, like yeah, yeah, you checked yourself as a hey, or.

643
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 2: I've had to check myself at time, my wife, My

644
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 2: wife has had to check me, okay, yeah yeah, So

645
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 2: like well why would you do that? Like well, just

646
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,439
Speaker 2: being kind of a self entitled prick at the height

647
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 2: of the office fame and doing a lot of other movies.

648
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: Like you got my coffee wrong? Kind of thing or what.

649
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: There's so many. Yeah, they're just being you know, being short, impatient, judgmental.

650
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 2: Like I didn't prioritize family time when my son was

651
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 2: born and really young, like, and I would just be like,

652
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 2: I'm too busy and you know you we need to

653
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: schedule this, and it's you know, my make it in

654
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 2: me right yeah, and yeah, and I'm and I'm working

655
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 2: hard for the family. But it was, it was it

656
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 2: wasn't actions as much as it was attitude. But I

657
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 2: was I could be a not pleasant there were there

658
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: was a while there I could not be a very

659
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 2: pleasant guy. And so but I think that, you know,

660
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 2: I look at it from from spiritual terms that we

661
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 2: everyone is struggling in some way, shape or form with

662
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: with ego. You don't have to be elon musk. You

663
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 2: don't have to be one of the characters on succession.

664
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 2: You know you can. I've met plenty of people that

665
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 2: have a very small domain right like they're they're a

666
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 2: parking attendant in a circle of like seven other parking attendants.

667
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: But there's a hierarchy and a struggle and a battle

668
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 2: for power and control and status and money.

669
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: No one's immune to it.

670
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, no one's immune, and we're all on that journey

671
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 2: to try and to quiet that that voice and to

672
00:36:54,800 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 2: seek a greater selflessness, a greater altruism and sacrificing, sacrificing time, energy,

673
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: comfort for the betterment of others. That's that's just plain

674
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: and simple. That's the spiritual path. It doesn't matter if

675
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 2: you're Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, it doesn't really matter. I'm a

676
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 2: ba High But that's that's the path we're on. And

677
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: your life will get healthier, deeper, richer, and wiser the

678
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 2: more you kind of embrace and love your ego but

679
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 2: recognize it and say I want to I want to

680
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 2: focus kind of on my on my higher self.

681
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: Is it about self clarity and uh healing? Do you

682
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: believe in a higher power or what are your thoughts?

683
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 2: What do I believe? Yeah, I believe. I believe in

684
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 2: a higher power. I believe.

685
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: What does that look like or what does that mean?

686
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 2: Well, it's I. I have a chapter in the Soul

687
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 2: Boom book called the Notorious Good. So that's that's what

688
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 2: I believe in, the Notorious Good. But I think God.

689
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 2: People have a hard time with God because God is

690
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 2: equated in Western culture with the patriarchy, and it's like

691
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 2: big Daddy God. I call him sky Daddy, sky Daddy

692
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 2: with a beard, who knows everything we're doing. It's basically

693
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 2: Santa Claus pain, you've been naughty and nice. If you're naughty,

694
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 2: you're going to go to hell. Or you're naughty, I'm

695
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 2: going to punish you. And if you're nice, I'm going

696
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 2: to reward you. And this is baked into our culture, right,

697
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 2: It's in the Sistine Chapel, It's in our thoughts, it's

698
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 2: in our father who are in heaven, like it's on

699
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 2: the coins. Yeah. Yeah, And so for me, I had

700
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 2: a real revelation when I was reading about I was

701
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 2: really struggling with God, and a lot of people are.

702
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 2: And I was reading about the God of the Lakota

703
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: Sioux people, and the god concept in that region of

704
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 2: those indigenous people is called Wa kan Tanka, which means

705
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 2: the Great Mystery. So immediately when you think about God

706
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 2: as the great Mystery, and you don't think of a man,

707
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 2: and you don't think of a guy, you don't think

708
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 2: of a persona with superpowers on a cloud, you start

709
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 2: thinking about the great Mystery is contained within and throughout

710
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 2: nature and throughout time and throughout the elements and throughout north, south,

711
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 2: east and west, throughout the the multiverse, that it's a

712
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 2: it's a mysterious kind of creative force, like.

713
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: Like not an entity, but like the sum of everything or.

714
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 2: That you get you're getting closer there. I mean, I

715
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 2: I believe that, you know, the higher power that I

716
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: look at, I do think has some some will, So

717
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: it's not just like a vague like electronic force or

718
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 2: something like that.

719
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 1: But there is uh more than science.

720
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 2: I think. I think God is more than science. I

721
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 2: think there is some volition. I think there is some

722
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 2: will coming from that, from that cosmic creative force. And

723
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,280
Speaker 2: it's funny because I sat at this exact same table

724
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 2: talking to Neil Brennan about the cosmic creative force weird

725
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 2: and in this podcast this very podcast studio, and yeah,

726
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 2: but that but that really opened my eyes to a

727
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 2: new way of thinking about God and realizing like a

728
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 2: lot of people who say I don't believe in God,

729
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 2: I say, well, define your God, because I probably don't

730
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 2: believe in the God that you don't believe in.

731
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: That's my thing with with religion that's always kind of

732
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: bothered me or I've struggled with, is you know, is

733
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: it that your God is real and this one is not?

734
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: You know, because I mean with a lot of religions,

735
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: you know in America, especially if you believe this, then

736
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: you're basically saying that they're wrong. Yeah, And so you know,

737
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: do you feel like the God that you believe in

738
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 1: is the correct one, or do you believe that there

739
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: is a God for everybody in some way or they

740
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: can coexist or is there anything to definitive or is

741
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: that not even what it's about, or I don't know.

742
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, it's what you say is exactly right.

743
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 2: I once heard a radio show and there was a

744
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 2: Muslim and a Jew and a Christian talking about faith

745
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 2: and belief and whatnot, or set up for a joke,

746
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 2: and they were talking about God and this and that,

747
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 2: and you know, the Muslim was referring to him as Allah,

748
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 2: and then the Christian pastor was like, I don't believe

749
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 2: in Allah, and what you're worshiping is not God, and

750
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 2: I think it's a false prophet. And because I understand

751
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: God as the Father of the Son and the Holy Ghost,

752
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 2: and I understand the Triune God, and that's that's the

753
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 2: true God, and anyone who's worshiping anything else is a

754
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: false it's a false god, it's an idol. And of

755
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 2: course that's poppycock. I mean, give me a break. I

756
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 2: think anyone who is seeking some kind of higher truth

757
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 2: or transcendence or beauty or higher connection beyond just kind

758
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 2: of like our kind of material bodies that are, you know,

759
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 2: eating and pooping and fucking and all the stuff that

760
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 2: bodies do. Anyone who's that's a connection to to something higher,

761
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 2: however you conceive of that, whether it's Wakan Tanka or

762
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 2: Allah or God or Jehovah or the Princess Gaya or

763
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 2: you know, a wick in God or whatever, it's whatever

764
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 2: force is out there. So but that's throughout human history

765
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 2: it's been like our God versus your God and and that,

766
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 2: and that goes back to the Caveman days of like

767
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 2: we worship this rock god named Thar God, and then

768
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 2: you worship this log God named Govlax and our God.

769
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 2: If we conquer you, then our God is more powerful

770
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 2: and we're going to make you worship our God.

771
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

772
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 2: That's that's tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands

773
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 2: of years people doing that, so we we have that

774
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 2: kind of baked in too. Is our God versus your.

775
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: God verse tribal sense almost right?

776
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I mean where that that goes hand

777
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 2: in hand. Tribalism goes hand in hand with ego. So

778
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 2: we're talking about Elon Musk, We're talking about Twitter. You know,

779
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 2: Twitter is a bunch of egoistic tribes. It is. It

780
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 2: is the perfect showcase for egoism and tribalism. And it's

781
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 2: not helping the conversation. It's not helping the evolution away

782
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 2: from south an ego.

783
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: I do, I do always feel a little bit like

784
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: a breath of fresh air when I read some of

785
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: your tweets, because it's always like, thank God, finally someone

786
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: who's not taking any of the shit. Seriously, it's crazy

787
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: out here, you know what I mean.

788
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 2: I try and lighten things up.

789
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: I always appreciate it.

790
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 2: Although I used to be on Twitter every day and

791
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 2: now yeah, I send one or two out a week,

792
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 2: and it's it's it's I don't have it on my

793
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 2: phone mean X right, yeah, X sorry, it's never gonna stick.

794
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: I read a story I've never heard it before that

795
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 1: your dad prayed away the ghosts in some Nicaroguin house

796
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: and it was maybe haunted with the what are you

797
00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: talking about? What happened?

798
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: For for real?

799
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: For real? Okay, tell me the.

800
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 2: Story for real, for real, real real, So what's for real?

801
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 2: My family were members of the Bahai Faith and we

802
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: moved to Nicaragua in nineteen sixty nine. I was three

803
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 2: years old to go teach the Bahai Faith kind of

804
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 2: missionary work. But we weren't like kind of like converting

805
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 2: the natives. It was more it was a little more

806
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 2: positive than that. So there was a house for rent

807
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 2: on top of the hill that was this old Victorian

808
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 2: house in this town called Bluefields, Nicaragua, and it was

809
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 2: really cheap. And everyone was like, oh, you don't want

810
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 2: to rent that house. It's haunted, and we're like, okay,

811
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 2: yeah whatever, we're Americans, fuck you. So we rented the house.

812
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 2: This is what I've learned in the years. I was

813
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 2: only three, so I was just running around sucking my thumb.

814
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 2: But apparently every night we would go to bed and

815
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 2: my dad would hear these noises coming from downstairs, like

816
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 2: er he and then he kind of noticed, like he

817
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 2: would get up in the morning and go down and like,

818
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 2: why are the chairs in slightly different positions? Why has

819
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 2: everything been moved a little bit? And sure enough, the

820
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 2: next night it was like going to bed in the

821
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 2: middle of the night kind of er and he's like,

822
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 2: what the hell. So he went and got a piece

823
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 2: of chalk, and he went downstairs one night and drew

824
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 2: circles around all of the furniture and then went up

825
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 2: to sleep, heard the same noises, went down in the morning.

826
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 2: Every single piece of furniture in the house had moved

827
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 2: by three or four inches.

828
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:49,479
Speaker 1: So it's real.

829
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 2: It was totally real. So he was like, holy shit,

830
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 2: So this is what he did. There's a high prayer

831
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: book that's filled with all kinds of prayers, and some

832
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 2: of the prayers there's a section like for the departed,

833
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 2: prayers that you say when someone passes, you know, for

834
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 2: the journey of their soul. And my dad and my

835
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 2: stepmom sat down and said every single prayer for the

836
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 2: departed from top to bottom and just you know, prayed

837
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 2: to just kind of like let the whatever souls are

838
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 2: trapped in this house or whatever force or whatever it is.

839
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know what to think.

840
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: What's your dad think? It was?

841
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 2: He just thought it. He thought it. He knew it

842
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 2: had to be some kind of ghost. It wasn't like

843
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 2: a There was no one sneaking in the house, the

844
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 2: doors were locked.

845
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: It wasn't like what was a ghost to your dad?

846
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 2: Like, I mean, this seems like classic Poultergeist, But I don't.

847
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 2: I don't really know what my dad thought. He passed

848
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 2: away a few years ago. I would have asked him otherwise,

849
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 2: but I don't know what he thought. I mean, he

850
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: just thought it was some kind of Poultergeist force. But

851
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 2: after that, after they did that prayers, it never happened again.

852
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 2: Every single night after that there were never noises and

853
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 2: no furniture moved.

854
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: So what do you from that? Then?

855
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 2: I take from that that if you need to get

856
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 2: rid of a ghost, get pick yourself up of a

857
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 2: high prayer book, say all the departed prayers. Boom, problem solved, boom.

858
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: Is this your radio rental story or it could be?

859
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could be. That would be pretty meta if

860
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 2: Rain Wilson called in with a radio rental story.

861
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: We don't even say you're Rain Wilson though, just like

862
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: everyone else.

863
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's It's just a voice, a random voice.

864
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: Let's talk for a second about the origin of Terry Carnation,

865
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: how that all started.

866
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 2: So I had this idea, along with my friend Aaron Lee,

867
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 2: who's a brilliant comedy writer, of this, you know, a

868
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 2: character that I could play in some kind of recurring way.

869
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 2: We really loved. We were huge fans of Steve Coogan

870
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 2: and his character Alan Partridge. And if you know anything

871
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: about Steve Coogan, he's done straight parts and movies and

872
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 2: he's been in lots of different kinds of films and TV.

873
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 2: But at some point, maybe the early nineties or something,

874
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 2: he started playing this character named Alan Partridge. He started

875
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 2: as a newscaster and sportscaster. Then he had like a sitcom,

876
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 2: then he had like a podcast, and then he's written

877
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 2: audio books and he's had a bunch of different TV shows,

878
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 2: and he even has a great movie called Alpha Papa,

879
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 2: this Alan Partridge comedy. And he's just dufus kind of

880
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 2: like middle class, big toothed, self important newscaster. And I

881
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,760
Speaker 2: just loved how there was an actor who had created

882
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 2: this long term character. So we were talking about, you know,

883
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 2: what kind of character could I play and how would

884
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,280
Speaker 2: this work? And we had this idea for Terry Carnation,

885
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 2: and we had an idea that he would be hosting

886
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 2: a paranormal radio call in show, kind of like Coast

887
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 2: to Coast AM and we were inventing things about him

888
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 2: and this and that, and literally at that same time,

889
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 2: you called and we have the same podcast agent, and

890
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 2: you're like, I want to start doing this radio rental

891
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 2: and I want to have kind of like a host,

892
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 2: like a cryptique keeper kind of host, or would Rain

893
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,919
Speaker 2: do it or would he play a character? It would

894
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 2: be really fun because I had tweeted how much I

895
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 2: loved Atlanta Monster, which I really love that that whole

896
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 2: series that you did, and so you knew I was

897
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 2: a fan, and I was like, yeah, I'll do it

898
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:32,919
Speaker 2: if I can play Terry Carnation as the character, yeah,

899
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 2: kind of the host crypt keeper guy at the video

900
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 2: rental store. So that's then we just.

901
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: It was kind of serendipitous to me because I mean

902
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: I remember hopping on the zoom because I didn't I

903
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,839
Speaker 1: had no backup plans if you were like, hey man,

904
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: too busy, you can't do this. Yeah, I only could

905
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: see you in my head doing it. I don't know

906
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: where that even came from.

907
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's funny.

908
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: And then I was like in New York City and

909
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: I had a zoom schedule with you. I was like,

910
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: I was so tired. I was a little hungover too.

911
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't blow this, you know. I

912
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: was like, let me just sell him on this somehow,

913
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: and hop on the zoom and described it to you,

914
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: and I was like, what do you mean you have

915
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: a similar character that you have. I'm like, is he

916
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: being for real? Does he think I'm being for real?

917
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah?

918
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 1: I was like, well, shit, uh that's cool. Yeah, do

919
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: you want to do it then? Yeah? But that's been

920
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: super fun.

921
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 2: It's been a great collaboration, and we were able to

922
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 2: make a whole Terry Carnation show separate from Radio Rental. Yeah,

923
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 2: and that was really fun too, to kind of take

924
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 2: him into some other that was more of a straight

925
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 2: up just comedy show. And but it's been super fun.

926
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously people love the show. They're such huge

927
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 2: fans of it. There's such a loyal fan base. But yeah,

928
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 2: that's it, and it worked out great, and I love

929
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 2: working with Meredith and we have a lot of fun

930
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 2: doing it. People people really enjoy the show and and

931
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 2: they love following tear and Malachi his cat and their

932
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 2: little misadventures in between those spooky, spooky stories.

933
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: I really need your help with something. And Okay, you

934
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: know how hard it is to sell a show in Hollywood.

935
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who you are, what you're doing. Yes,

936
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: And you know, my vision for Radio Rental in the

937
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: first place was always like bigger than the podcast itself.

938
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: It would be a really fun thing to reimagine visually

939
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 1: in either an anthology series or a movie series or

940
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: whatever it is, some scripted version of it. Right, But

941
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: it's a big swing because it's they have to bet

942
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: on making this world. And you know, we've gone and

943
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,359
Speaker 1: we've kicked it around a few different times, and we've

944
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: almost sold it a few different times, and you know, really,

945
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 1: just selfishly, I just want to see it get made. Yeah, right, yeah,

946
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you know, I care less about my

947
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: stake and I'm like, if we banded together in something

948
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 1: that may sense, that didn't hurt whatever you were trying

949
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: to do.

950
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 2: Ep, you're putting me on the spot right here, you.

951
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 1: Sign this piece of paper right here. It would be fun, though,

952
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 1: I think.

953
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, that would be super fun.

954
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: It'd be cool, which we talk about it, but it.

955
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 2: Would be it is a tricky one to figure out

956
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 2: because the audio stories are so interesting. I'm not sure

957
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 2: it would be what would you want it to be though,

958
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,439
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I haven't given any thought

959
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 2: to it. But if you had, well, the problem with

960
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 2: it is is I don't necessarily want to see I

961
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 2: don't necessarily want to see the people telling the stories,

962
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 2: and do you want to? Because the obvious way, like

963
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 2: low budget way to do it on like Discovery would

964
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 2: be people telling spooky stories and then having reenactments. Yeah,

965
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:50,879
Speaker 2: that's just kind of like have you ever thought about

966
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 2: it animated?

967
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 1: We have, but I feel like it deserves more than

968
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: that still, but it would still be cool because then

969
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:01,280
Speaker 1: you could.

970
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,720
Speaker 2: Hear people's voiceovers and then animate them and get different

971
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,760
Speaker 2: animators for each story, so you didn't have a uniform

972
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 2: style of animation. One was more like anime, one more's

973
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 2: hand drawn, one was like AI, you know, and then

974
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 2: depending on suiting the story, then each one is like

975
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 2: a little black mirror, but like or is.

976
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: It more anthology black Mirror modern pop culture? But they're

977
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:30,240
Speaker 1: all based on true stories or creepy posters.

978
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 2: Do you guys own the rights to all the stories

979
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 2: we like, if someone comes on and tells like a

980
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:37,359
Speaker 2: ghost story or.

981
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: All the big ones, we definitely do cause we've you know,

982
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: even pitched those out separately, but they'd all be down to,

983
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: you know, for us to option that if they can

984
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: see it come to life. Yeah, yeah, so I mean,

985
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: and also either way it works. They always want new

986
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: stories anyways.

987
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, but I know how hard it is for

988
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 2: you guys to find those stories. So it's so much work.

989
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 2: You're going on redded and you're just yeah, if I

990
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:05,240
Speaker 2: was calming the internet and YouTube and you've got researchers

991
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 2: and yeah, yeah, it's a it's a slog.

992
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it'd be easier to make them up

993
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,720
Speaker 1: for those who want to talk shit. It's like, man,

994
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: if they're real, that's why it's harder. Yeah, I sign

995
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: myself up for that. But right, it's what it is.

996
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we'll continue the conversation.

997
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be fun. I got to throw it in

998
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: your ear and just you know, yeah, it might be

999
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: a fresh new approach and you know.

1000
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, do it the way that I say animated. Animated

1001
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,399
Speaker 2: stuff you could do really fun. You could do really

1002
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 2: cool stuff with it.

1003
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what does soul Boom even mean?

1004
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 2: Well, the subtitle of the book is why we need

1005
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 2: a Spiritual Revolution, And I'm trying to just reinvigorate conversations

1006
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:50,399
Speaker 2: around spirituality because spirituality either people have a knee jerk

1007
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 2: reaction against it because it means religion and it means church,

1008
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 2: and they're like, fuck that, I don't want to have

1009
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 2: anything to do with that, right, or or it has

1010
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 2: to do with this really new agey namby pamby airy

1011
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 2: fairy kind of like crystals and incense and chakras and

1012
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 2: and it's this really like vague thing that some are

1013
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, yeah, that you know their aunt Connie was

1014
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 2: involved in. And they're like, oh, I don't want to,

1015
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 2: but I do think that when you strip all that away,

1016
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 2: take out the church, take out the new Age, spirituality

1017
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 2: means that I'm a spiritual being. I have ninety years

1018
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 2: in this fleshy, delightful, fleshy body. And what does that mean?

1019
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 2: What kind of journey am I on? What's the meaning

1020
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 2: of life? What happens when I die? Do I have

1021
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:45,799
Speaker 2: free will? What is love? What is beauty? What is God?

1022
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 2: We talked a little bit about God, like these big

1023
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 2: questions should be the questions that we're talking about all

1024
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,919
Speaker 2: the time. And they're not church questions, right, and they're

1025
00:55:55,960 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 2: not new agey questions. They're life questions. It has as

1026
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 2: much relevance as you know positive psychology in the study

1027
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 2: of happiness and wellness. It's the study of of what

1028
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 2: our souls are like. I don't believe that our consciousness

1029
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 2: comes to an end when we're eighty seven or ninety

1030
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 2: three or one hundred and two and then that's it,

1031
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 2: and that there's no meaning to this vast, glorious, incredible

1032
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 2: uh panapoly of stars and matter and energy, that it's

1033
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,399
Speaker 2: just always been here. Does that doesn't make any sense

1034
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 2: to me.

1035
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: How do you grapple with how big it is? I mean,

1036
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: it's so big we learn it. It's bigger every day.

1037
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 2: It's bigger every day.

1038
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

1039
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you how do you wrap your mind

1040
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 2: around infinity? Because that's what the divine is, That's what's Yeah.

1041
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: I think we learned that there is no wall. I

1042
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 1: think if you don't get to the end.

1043
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,399
Speaker 2: It's not the Truman show. You don't bump.

1044
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you mean do you think that there's other

1045
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: intelligent life? I mean, I think at this point would

1046
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: be for me at least, it would be incredibly insane

1047
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 1: if there wasn't.

1048
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 2: You'd have to be an idiot to think that there

1049
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 2: wasn't some other kind of life out there. I mean,

1050
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 2: that's crazy. Ian uaes aside, like just like we're the

1051
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 2: only one out of trillions and trillions of stars, were

1052
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,319
Speaker 2: the only ones that that evolved here? And also the

1053
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:19,439
Speaker 2: other big mysteries like how why is there life on Earth?

1054
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 2: Like there's there's chemicals, like when did chemistry turn into biology?

1055
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 2: When exactly? And how do you have a bunch of chemicals.

1056
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 2: You've got magnesium and lithium and silicon and you know,

1057
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 2: carbon and oxygen and hydrogen and helium all kind of

1058
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 2: bouncing around to various degrees on planet Earth? When does

1059
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 2: a when does a pyramesium or an amoeba, you know?

1060
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 2: Or when when does life start? And how The best

1061
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 2: answer someone has is like, well, that must have been

1062
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,439
Speaker 2: on a meteor orte that fell into the ocean, which

1063
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,439
Speaker 2: is just a total non answer.

1064
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: Right, But they're saying that it was caused by something, right, Yeah,

1065
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: mean basically right.

1066
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 2: Caused by something. But it's one of the great It's

1067
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 2: one of the great mysteries, you know, and no one

1068
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 2: digs in. Also, like the mystery of human consciousness, Like, yeah,

1069
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 2: we can be having this conversation and we can have

1070
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 2: memories about you know, our families, and we can feel

1071
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 2: things in our hearts, and we can go compose poetry

1072
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 2: and operas, and we can marvel at the beauty of

1073
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 2: a tree, and you know, we can come up with

1074
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 2: incredible mathematical formulas like consciousness is beautiful and ineffable and

1075
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 2: magical And did that really just happen because we have

1076
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 2: slightly bigger brains than an ape? Is that really what

1077
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 2: consciousness is?

1078
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I always wonder and I'm sure Bill and

1079
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: I the science guy or Nila Grosse Tyson would debunk

1080
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 1: this somehow, but probably not definitively. If we evolve from apes,

1081
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: then why are they still around? Maybe there's some good

1082
00:58:58,640 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: reason for that.

1083
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 2: Also, like what about the missing link? Like there's a

1084
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 2: bunch there's a bunch of human species that they've found right, right,

1085
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 2: and there's a bunch of monkey species, but like the

1086
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 2: whole thing of like the missing.

1087
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: Link, where's the first one of us?

1088
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 2: But they haven't really found Like where is that halfway

1089
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 2: between monkey. You can't say neanderthal. There's a distinctly human.

1090
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 2: They're a distinctly human species. They're dead, and there's chimpanzees

1091
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 2: and orangutangs are just around. There's a distinctly you know,

1092
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 2: monkey and ape species. And then what's what is in between?

1093
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 2: And we don't have any fossils. It's a little bit weird.

1094
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 2: And that gets me into what was that alien resurrection?

1095
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 2: What was the one where the no, no, it was

1096
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 2: the one with the bald aliens came down and like

1097
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 2: made humans Prometheus?

1098
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,919
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, you wonder like, yeah, are we part

1099
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: of the well, we part of the experiment. I mean

1100
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: think about even just on Earth. If there's some you know,

1101
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 1: like you go to South Georgia and there's some swamp preservation,

1102
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 1: We're like, hey, guys, don't go tou anything in this

1103
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: you know, preserved area, so the wildlife can be unbothered.

1104
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Are we that in some way? Yeah?

1105
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 2: With a bunch of these ships flying around. But here's

1106
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 2: the deal, Like these aliens answer me this.

1107
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: The uaes PS.

1108
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 2: United Arab Emirates is U A I D S or

1109
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,959
Speaker 2: I U D is A that's a that's something else.

1110
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 2: That's a yeah, UAPs, Unidentified aerial phenomenon UAPs, Sorry about that.

1111
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 1: I like UFO's that was always more fun.

1112
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 2: That's just that is more fun. But if these guys

1113
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 2: wanted to not be seen, certainly they have the technology

1114
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 2: to not be seen. So they want to be seen,

1115
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 2: and they want to show us that they have a

1116
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 2: technology that far surpasses anything we can even imagine, like

1117
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 2: instantaneously going from here to there and you know, in

1118
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 2: vast numbers and disappearing. I know you have so many

1119
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 2: of those great stories, like so, what are the alien

1120
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 2: species that are monitoring us? And I talk about this

1121
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 2: a little bit in my book Soul Boom. I have

1122
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 2: a conversation among aliens that are observing planet Earth about

1123
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 2: what they're seeing, because what are they seeing. They're seeing

1124
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 2: us destroy our own planet with climate change. They're seeing

1125
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 2: us pump unlimited amounts of carbon and methane into the atmosphere,

1126
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 2: causing heat trapping gases to create a blanket, and extreme

1127
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 2: weather events that are killing more and more people and

1128
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 2: ruining crops and starting droughts and all kinds of stuff.

1129
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 2: They're seeing us do this. They're seeing us on the

1130
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 2: verge of war. And actually fighting wars and they're observing

1131
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 2: all that. But why do they want us to see them,

1132
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 2: because they could just do it from behind the moon, right, what.

1133
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: Do you think? Well, they clearly don't want us to

1134
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 1: see them all the time. I mean, and maybe I

1135
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,919
Speaker 1: wonder if we're just getting a glimpse of them where

1136
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 1: they were a moment ago.

1137
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 2: But they want us to have that glimp because if

1138
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 2: they didn't want us to have that, they could control that, right,

1139
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 2: But totally they can also control landing on the White

1140
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 2: House lawn too.

1141
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: Sure, So, like you know, if if there's ever like

1142
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 1: a disclosure moment and they revealed themselves to the whole world,

1143
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 1: they would clearly be in control of that. They would

1144
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: be holding that. It would be up to them.

1145
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 2: I have the beginning of a science fiction movie, and

1146
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 2: I want one of your fans to write it. Okay,

1147
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 2: the alien spacecraft lands on the White House lawn. The

1148
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 2: hatch opens, an alien comes out. I don't know what

1149
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:35,439
Speaker 2: it looks like. I'm look like an alien or looks

1150
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 2: like a humanoid and says has a translator device or

1151
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 2: something like that, so is able to speak perfect English

1152
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:47,439
Speaker 2: and says, I am the return of Jesus Christ boy,

1153
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 2: because Christ returning on a cloud? What if Christ? What

1154
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 2: if the return of Christ was an alien?

1155
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stories in the Bible that sound

1156
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 1: a lot like euphociding. Yes, so if they're real, you

1157
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: wonder what those big bright lights in this guy were

1158
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: where they it.

1159
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 2: Was gone, the chariot of the gods and the fire back?

1160
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 2: For that would be what's the craziest uap not UAE

1161
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 2: story that from high strange? What's the one that like,

1162
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 2: there's one that just sticks in your head and like, shit,

1163
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 2: this is so so weird.

1164
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: I would really probably the biggest one to me, it

1165
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: still has to be Travis Walton. And because I met

1166
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 1: with this person, and you know, I was able to

1167
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: give him a real assessment. This guy did not want

1168
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: to be there today. He begrudgingly met to tell me

1169
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: the story. He only even did it because I know

1170
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 1: someone who happens to know him, which is also weird.

1171
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 1: But he would have never talked about it because he's

1172
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 1: over it and he was clearly living through this traumatic experience.

1173
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 1: And so you have five different people saying that they

1174
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: all saw the same thing, right, they all saw him

1175
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: get sucked up into a spaceship in the middle of

1176
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 1: the woods in Snowflake, Arizona, and then he was missing

1177
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: for five days. And so either he was hiding and

1178
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: they were all in on it. Where was he I

1179
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 1: don't know, because they searched all the houses, or he

1180
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 1: was unconscious in the woods and they couldn't find him

1181
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: on all the dog searches and he somehow didn't die

1182
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: out there, or he was for he's telling the truth.

1183
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 1: It's just one of those things where it's it's it's

1184
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 1: almost weirder the rational explanation for it. And he's convinced

1185
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 1: after all these years that he was somehow injured by

1186
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 1: this craft and they actually saved his life, is what

1187
01:04:53,240 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: he thinks. They were like, oh shit, you know, I mean,

1188
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Dann, it kind of makes sense.

1189
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 2: What does a spleen do again? Exactly?

1190
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 1: They love poking around in all the different holes.

1191
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 2: That's the thing about the alien abduction thing that that

1192
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 2: gets me. It's like, really like, but what do you

1193
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 2: mean really like?

1194
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: Is it no?

1195
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 2: Really the anal probe, like you know with the pros

1196
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 2: or all they need to do is like upload, uh,

1197
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 2: you know, all the biological information that they want. They

1198
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:29,959
Speaker 2: don't need to like take someone up and like open

1199
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 2: their anus and go.

1200
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 1: But maybe there's something just about that old school.

1201
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 2: But you cannot deny you cannot deny the dozens or

1202
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 2: hundreds of military pilots around the world. Yeah, footage, that's

1203
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 2: the first hand of these sober, lifelong military guys. These

1204
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 2: are not some like crazy hippies living in the woods

1205
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 2: in Idaho. These are like they're they're like, you know,

1206
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 2: these Air Force commanders.

1207
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: Intelligent people that you trusted to operate the most advanced

1208
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 1: machines on earth. Those people are saying that one hundred

1209
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: so it'd be and they have and they have footage,

1210
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 1: They have footage. Yeah, yeah, I think that it's those

1211
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 1: stories are always credible to me, and I often wonder

1212
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: there's no way that all these stories that we've heard

1213
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: throughout generations they're all not true, Like that would be

1214
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: more insane if we've got to a level of just

1215
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 1: intelligence as a human species where our imaginations have convinced

1216
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,439
Speaker 1: us that we've seen UFOs and aliens before.

1217
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 2: Doesn't but we know it's possible, But doesn't that sync

1218
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 2: up with MDes near death experiences, which is which is

1219
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 2: a way that you know you hear it all the time,

1220
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 2: Like people dying on the operating table, floating above the table,

1221
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 2: see the doctors working on them, are drawn into the light.

1222
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 2: There's some loved ones with them, there's some kind of tunnel,

1223
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 2: there's some kind of vague understanding that they're they're able

1224
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 2: to kind of witness their whole life more like on

1225
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 2: a tapestry rather than sequentially. So they're a little bit

1226
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 2: outside of time and they're kind of called there, and

1227
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 2: they're called back, and they choose to kind of come back,

1228
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 2: like thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands every culture

1229
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 2: in the world, Like, are we really having a collective

1230
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 2: like dream?

1231
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: Like that's what I'm saying. That would be more bizarre

1232
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 1: to me.

1233
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 2: You know what Okam's razor is, which is like the

1234
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 2: simplest answer is usually the right one or the most correct.

1235
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I know the phrase the simplest answer is

1236
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 2: that near death experiences are true, that that's what happens

1237
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 2: when we die, We're going into some kind of journey

1238
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 2: to life. That's a simpler answer than to say, hundreds

1239
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 2: of thousands of people around the world are having the

1240
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 2: same weird illusory dreams.

1241
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 1: That's not about their data, right, Yeah, I mean I

1242
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: even feel that sometimes about uh like deja vu. Ever

1243
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 1: had a really good one ton where you're just like, hey,

1244
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 1: this is not possible.

1245
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 2: When, especially when I was younger, I had deja vu

1246
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 2: all the time.

1247
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 1: You're about to like he's about to do this, and

1248
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna, yeah, what's up with that? Yeah? It makes it.

1249
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 1: It's convincing when you if you have a good one.

1250
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Yeah.

1251
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think that, you know, if we're

1252
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:26,679
Speaker 1: trying to get somewhere like as far as Pluto or something,

1253
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 1: we're not gonna get there efficiently by some combustible engine.

1254
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 1: I think that somewhere in time and other realms or dimensions,

1255
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 1: whatever it is, we have.

1256
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 2: To figure out how to We've got to figure out

1257
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:44,599
Speaker 2: how to navigate time. Because that's uh, And I love why.

1258
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 2: I love the movie interstell or something.

1259
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 1: I should watch. I watched the last Night again what

1260
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 1: it holds up? Yeah? It's good.

1261
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 2: Oh man, rewatch I've seen it like three times, but

1262
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 2: the last time it's been at least five or six years.

1263
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:57,599
Speaker 2: I love that movie. But we have to figure out

1264
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 2: how to navigate time, and some some really unique way. Otherwise,

1265
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 2: interstellar travel is just not possible.

1266
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 1: It's not possible. Yeah, we're not able to get there

1267
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 1: the way.

1268
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 2: We have to go beyond the speed of light. Forget

1269
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 2: the speed of light or.

1270
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 1: Just skip that stuff.

1271
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, skip that.

1272
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 1: Maybe it's maybe far away is actually really close, Like

1273
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:18,599
Speaker 1: that's what it is, right so far away, but it's

1274
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 1: actually just right here on Maybe it's all an illusion.

1275
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 1: Maybe exactly right. You have a play around with AI,

1276
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 1: like ever ask it questions or anything.

1277
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:30,639
Speaker 2: Vaguely, Yeah, not so much. I haven't gone there too much.

1278
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 1: Ever gotten anywhere? Fun I like to have the AI.

1279
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 2: Tell jokes in the style of a lot of my

1280
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 2: comedian friends, and then I send them those jokes.

1281
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny that they can do that.

1282
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 2: It's pretty amazing.

1283
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 1: I put it to the test just to see the

1284
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 1: other day. I was like, I don't even if it'll

1285
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: do this. I was like, right, this like paragraph in

1286
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: the way that Payne Lindsay would say it in his

1287
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 1: new true crime podcast. Oh nice, And it did it.

1288
01:09:57,960 --> 01:09:59,680
Speaker 1: And I was like, holy shit, that's pretty and it

1289
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 1: was good. Yeah.

1290
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And this is only the beginning of scratching the

1291
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 2: surface of the AI, Like, oh, five years from now.

1292
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the thing is it's here to stay now.

1293
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 1: It's there's no it's like the Internet. It's like wishing

1294
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:16,560
Speaker 1: that the Internet would go away first, that social.

1295
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:17,479
Speaker 2: Media would go away.

1296
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's here too late. Well, before I let

1297
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 1: you go, I want to show you one funny thing

1298
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: actually has to do with AI. So my friend he's

1299
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 1: an engineer at Tenderfoot and he does a lot all

1300
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 1: the sound design for radio rental and high strange. He's

1301
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 1: really hip on all the new things. So there's software

1302
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 1: now that can you know, mimic your voice? Oh no,

1303
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 1: and so, and it's just learning from all that's out

1304
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 1: there on the internet. So people like myself or.

1305
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 2: Did it do Rain Wilson's voice?

1306
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 1: I'll have him do it, but he didn't mind. I

1307
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:51,639
Speaker 1: want to see if you can, Oh man, you can. Okay,

1308
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 1: this is uh. I mean it's a little rowbody, but

1309
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,720
Speaker 1: not by much. You're like, okay, maybe you could see

1310
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 1: how in like a year it would be out of control.

1311
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 1: And there'll be some I'll have to say, Hey, that

1312
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 1: wasn't really me that said that really fucked up thing. Right,

1313
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 1: it'll be that which is like a deep fake of

1314
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 1: audio scary, right, Okay, here we go.

1315
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 4: Greetings fellow truth seekers, and welcome back to Up and Vanished,

1316
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 4: the podcast where we dive deep into the shadows of

1317
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 4: cold cases. I'm your host Payne, but before we jump in,

1318
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 4: I want to share a message from our partner spot

1319
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 4: pet Insurance.

1320
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 1: So I never said any of those words. I've never,

1321
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:41,839
Speaker 1: I never. I didn't even give it anything.

1322
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:43,799
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

1323
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:53,720
Speaker 4: Greetings fellow truth seekers, schelde Verte.

01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:57,879
Speaker 1: Up and Vanished podcast.

1325
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you're fluent in French.

1326
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I learned it real fast.

1327
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 2: Damn which one is that?

1328
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: I need to ask Cooper what it is. I'll text

1329
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 1: it to you. But he just blindly sent me like

1330
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: this in four languages, and I was like, what the

1331
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 1: hell is going on? And it hurt my brain? But

1332
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:19,799
Speaker 1: I gave it nothing. I didn't. I never said these words.

1333
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 1: And it's pretty close. Yeah. Yeah, especially if you don't

1334
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 1: know me, you would just say, yeah, that's pain, right,

1335
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 1: So I bet you yours is prob is Really that's scary.

1336
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 2: That's absolutely scary.

1337
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: Yes, there'll be a moment where someone's getting I imagine

1338
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:35,959
Speaker 1: to like an audio that didn't.

1339
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 2: But I imagine too, like Let's say that I was

1340
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 2: sued and I was totally bankrupt, and some company came

1341
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 2: and said, hey, for a million bucks, we want your

1342
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 2: likeness and your voice. We get to do whatever the

1343
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 2: hell we want to do with it. You sign it away,

1344
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 2: and I'm like, screw it. Fine, they own this and

1345
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 2: they own this voice. And then all of a sudden,

1346
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,760
Speaker 2: Rain Wilson is in like food commercials, Rain Wilson is

1347
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:03,840
Speaker 2: in porn. Rain Wilson is.

1348
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 1: In you know, narrated. He wanted to do that. You

1349
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 1: didn't get around the jagr in your career.

1350
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 2: Cat food and porn. But you know, I'm that could

1351
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 2: happen too.

1352
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:14,960
Speaker 1: Oh totally, yeah, I mean that's where that's what they

1353
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 1: want to do. It wasn't the writer's strike a little

1354
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:18,599
Speaker 1: bit about that. There were some there were some aspects

1355
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:20,719
Speaker 1: and the tinge of that where like they can start,

1356
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 1: you know, and I don't think that. I think the

1357
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:26,679
Speaker 1: human touch is always going to be a step ahead

1358
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: of AI in creativity, Yeah, you know, because it's always

1359
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: pulling from what we've already done. Yeah, but the recreating

1360
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 1: of a voice.

1361
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 2: But you should do in a In one of your

1362
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 2: Pain Lindency podcasts, you should you know, you do all

1363
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 2: the you do the intro, and you do a bunch

1364
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:45,720
Speaker 2: of interstecial interstitials, make one of them AI and have

1365
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:48,400
Speaker 2: people try and guess which one is the AI.

1366
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 1: Out of AI.

1367
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 4: Pain.

1368
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're just like I squeeze in one segment of AI.

1369
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I bet you wouldn't mild it like

1370
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 2: an ad for better help or something like that.

1371
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:03,240
Speaker 1: That's what I really want it for. Yeah, second, stop

1372
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 1: reading these day and the hats. Oh I said it.

1373
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 1: I said it perfectly. Actually you want to redo it?

1374
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:11,120
Speaker 1: You got it? That's fine. Yeah, Well, thanks man, it's

1375
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 1: been fun. I appreciate catching up pain, love what you do.

1376
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 2: Happy to be here with you. Great conversation.

01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:15,800
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening, and here's an exclusive sneak peek of

1392
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:36,200
Speaker 1: the full episodes. I'm sleep deprived, my stomach's empty, and

1393
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 1: every breath I take feels like a conscious effort. I've

1394
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 1: been like this for days now, disoriented and to put

1395
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 1: it bluntly, scared out of my mind. Every sound, every

1396
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 1: movement on this plane seems amplified. My surroundings feel surreal,

1397
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 1: like I'm watching myself in third person. My mind just

1398
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 1: can't keep up with the pace of reality. I've been

1399
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 1: on four different flights in the last eighteen hours, small

1400
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 1: rickety planes in the remote region of northern Alaska. Thanks
