1
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: Podcast starts. Now, surprise, surprise is this funny? Is that?

2
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: Who the hell? And ship? Is this? The hell? The

3
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: hell ship? Who? Who the hell? Who the goddamn is this?

4
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: So hello, we have to we have to take stock

5
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: a little bit because I think and not the Greek

6
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: media the other one. Wait, let me, let me take stock.

7
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: So we have to kind of we have to list

8
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: a few uh facts about the world, where we are,

9
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: where we each are. Trust the science. Trust the science,

10
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: that's right, because without the facts, people are going to

11
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: jump to conclusions. And it's been it's happened before, and

12
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: it will happen again. In fact, so for me, first

13
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: of all, fact number one, it is currently the super Bowl.

14
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: So true. Okay, so let's get back. Sam is not

15
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: here right, thank you. He's fighting in the super Bowl.

16
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: He is in the super Bowl. He got drafted to

17
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. He got drafted for the Super Bowl

18
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: mere days ago. Um, And it's a really it was

19
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: a lot of us audition for it. And I have

20
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: to say, like, I mean, I am happy for him,

21
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: but like I don't know, I mean, do I think

22
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 1: it was like the best, Like do I think Sam

23
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: is the best at football? I think that's not for

24
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: you to say that's like a director's choice. No, it's true,

25
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,919
Speaker 1: it's true. And I feel like I think the super

26
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: Bowl director has a vision in mind for the Bengals. Right,

27
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: we have to wait, we have to watch, We have

28
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: to you know, be open to what his plan is.

29
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Dare I say what God's plan is? Yeah? Well I think, Like,

30
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I can already see my jealousy coming out,

31
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: because it's like, it's not Sam's fault that he got

32
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: the like then you got drafted and cast. Listen. I

33
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: don't want to. I know we're not supposed to talk

34
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: about this, but like there was room for one gay guy,

35
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: and like I know, I know it's like pitting people

36
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: against each other, but like they had room for one

37
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: gay guy. They could have picked many of our other

38
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: gay friends, and they chose Sam. You know, he's buzzy

39
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: right now. He like he's kind of on the up

40
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: and up. Like I feel like it's it's been a

41
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: kind of a long time coming for him, and like

42
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: I I genuinely am happy for him. But there's of

43
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: course a part of this, but there's I mean, I

44
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: just feel like, you know, I've been studying the Bengals

45
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: for years. M and you know, I feel like, um,

46
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: I would kind of like to believe it would be

47
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: I was, I would like to believe the part would

48
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: be mine. I'll just say that. And it's I don't

49
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: think that's your fault, do you know what I mean? Like,

50
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: and that's why you can't let it get to you,

51
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: like that's that's incompetence and honestly like unprofessionalism on the

52
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: part of Yeah, the Bengals. Yeah, well it's just it's

53
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: also like it's you can tell they're not this is

54
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: their first time diversifying because the whole process has been bodged.

55
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: I'll just say, I do feel like there's probably pressure

56
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: that you know, there was like a change up in

57
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: the organization organizational staff um earlier last year, and you

58
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: know now that Milly Bobby Brown is the coach's but

59
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: then yeah, you know there's stressed on her end as well,

60
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: stress on you know. Of course there was the backlash

61
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: with Melly Bobby Brown and then they brought in I mean,

62
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: I thought this was kind of sucked up. They brought

63
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: in Janet Bach as a consultant and kind of set

64
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: her up for failure, Like because I feel like I

65
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: feel like she thought she thought of it as an opportunity,

66
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: like okay, the nfl um and now they're blaming all

67
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: of this procedural, all of this on her. But they

68
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: set her up for that and it's a shame. But

69
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: we wish Sam the best. And that's fact number three.

70
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: That's the four I think is actually that we wish

71
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: Sam the best? Right? What was number three? So number

72
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: two is that Sam isn't here. Number three is that

73
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: he isn't here because he was drafted and cast in

74
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: super Number four is that we wish we wish him

75
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: the best, the best. Yes it. If anyone takes anything

76
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: away from this, like the tabloids, you know they like

77
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: going out a quote, I feel like a really we

78
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: wish them the best. This is going to be all

79
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: over ducks moy. Yes, God, I can see the headlines now.

80
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: So okay. Fact number five multiple beverages. Okay, we have

81
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: to discuss multiple beverages. I mean it's funny because now

82
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: I can't really go back to the real fact about Sam.

83
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll reveal it later on. That's that's good journalism storytelling.

84
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: Is you save it to the end. Yeah, And you

85
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: opened with a lie exactly. Well, you open with a

86
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: with a vague with a question like is windex killing

87
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 1: your pets? People want to people want to listen the answer.

88
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: It's going to be no, no, yeah, but you want

89
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: the road to know. But the eyeballs are going to

90
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: be there, so especially on the podcast. Yes, well yeah,

91
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: that's right. So we were talking. You have multiple beverages.

92
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: You said you have four to five beverages in front

93
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: of you. Yeah, I have five currently, but it's gonna

94
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: become four very soon. Are you down in the coffee?

95
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm planning on and this is and I need you

96
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: to be my ally here. So if you could have

97
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: a spirit of openness, collaboration and love, I would appreciate that.

98
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: I have a coffee to my right, right to my left,

00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: a small, and this is the coffee that I made

102
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: it home. I'm doing some mixing. I'm putting the bits

103
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: of latte that I got left in the coffee. Coffee, coffee,

104
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: two ways. It's very European of mal Yeah. You know

105
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: I've been there. Yeah, I mean it took you years

106
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: to get rid of that accent. Say, so we have

107
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: a lot of team. We have a coffee. What else is?

108
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: What else are you working with? There's a green juice.

109
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: We've got a third left. We've got a watermelon juice.

110
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: Watermelon juice to juice? Is this? This is my new juice?

111
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: And I hope a little slush for the a SMR

112
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: heads chat out the brand. Yeah, I'll say it evolution. Okay, okay,

113
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: so we have I'll say the watermelon juice looks more

114
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: dare I say process than the green juice. The green

115
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: juice you can feel the yeah, this is real. Yeah,

116
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: like the green juice. You can feel. It's like the fart.

117
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: With each sip comes afart m hm. And I'm setting

118
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: myself up for that. The watermelon juice is fake. But

119
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: as you know, I love to ingest a lie. You know,

120
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: I don't need truth all the time. I want a

121
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: little lie and I'm into it. And then we've got

122
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: a classic ladies holler. If you hear me, water water

123
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: water in analogene. Yeah, I've been trying to set a

124
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: goal because I don't drink enough water, probably because I

125
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: got six seven other liquids to jumble every day. Sorry,

126
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm busy, I'm on the damn clock. I do think

127
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: by combining all these liquids, you are pretty much maintaining

128
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: a constant level of hydration because either they make you

129
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: dehydrated or rehydrated, and you're constantly kind of like course correcting,

130
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: so You've actually never been over or under hydrated. I've

131
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: always been at about fifty. I think UM always doing

132
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: a proper hydration and a diuretic at the same That's right.

133
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: I am afraid of how strong, how powerful, how sexy,

134
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: and how full and free I would be if I

135
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: drank all the water I was supposed to do UM

136
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: in a day. I can feel like my brain get limitless.

137
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: I can feel too many synapses. I don't want to

138
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: fix the Middle East. I could if I drank in

139
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: a water, absolutely, but I don't want. I'm like, I

140
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: want to keep a little pokes. Well, you don't want

141
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: to be you don't have like that kind of Messiah complex,

142
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: you know, thank you and and and ultimately it's really kind.

143
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: You're an introvert. Yeah, And I would never say that

144
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: about myself because I'm humble and shy as well. But

145
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: I think feels true to me. Are you also rocking

146
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: multiple beverages we feel open enough to share? Yeah? Yeah,

147
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean I hate when people get on podcasts and

148
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: they feel like they have to be an open book.

149
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: You know, is this your podcast actually now that I'm

150
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: just remembering, but well for today, Well, in fact, you

151
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: bring up a very good point, which is this is

152
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: in the spirit of smashing binaries, which is this podcast

153
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: this past um? I would say, we are have found

154
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,359
Speaker 1: ourselves in a situation where you are kind of interrogating

155
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: the binaria between guest co host and guest because originally,

156
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: and I don't even want to say originally, because it

157
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: didn't happen, So why set up that expectation? But there

158
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: was talk of you being a guest co host and

159
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: us having a guest, like you are taking the role

160
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: of Sam Um while he's in the super Bowl and

161
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: we have a guest and we that's that's your role.

162
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: You're interviewing the guests with me, we're bantering, you're doing

163
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: straight shooters. Then, um, you know what happened is I

164
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: didn't book a guest. Yeah that's what I heard, right,

165
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: that is what I heard. But that's your truth. So

166
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: you've you speak on it well, because I was like,

167
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: it felt dishonest. Okay, now we're getting somewhere. Yeah, And

168
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: I also thought, um, you would not have been able

169
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: to express yourself fully if you had to be a host. Wow.

170
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: So I did it for you. Thank you, Thank you.

171
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: Um and can I say something as well. Please. We're

172
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: gonna start with a metaphor, and the metaphor is a house,

173
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: because you invited me into your house. I've been here before.

174
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: I took my shoes off, I relaxed, I laughed, I joked.

175
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: Maybe we even cooked a meal together. That's in the metaphor.

176
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what it is, but that is what

177
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: we did. Now I've been invited back into your house.

178
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, you know, hey, you take your

179
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: shoes off too, you kick, you kick up your feet,

180
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: you relax. Maybe we'll switch off because now I know

181
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: where the cuttle is. I'll make you t m hm.

182
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: And what is that again in the metaphor. It's hard

183
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: to say until we get to the end, but that's

184
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: what we'll do. Here's what I'll say. Though I'm now realizing,

185
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: as you're saying that metaphor, I'm realizing maybe one of

186
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: the reasons why I didn't book a guest was, in fact,

187
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: because I talk in metaphors and riddles. I could nobody dangerous.

188
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: That's I mean, it is dangerous, and I do. I

189
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: am going to have to ask you to stop. We're

190
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: gonna We're going to issue a metaphor maximum for this episode. Serious,

191
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: you have two more, Okay, But I want to say

192
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: the following, which is I feel like, maybe don't even

193
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: tell me how many riddles I have. I feel like

194
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: that you'll know when you've said enough riddles. I feel

195
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: like maybe inviting you to be a co host with

196
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: me in my home. The fear there is what if

197
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: you're better at it than I am, So I am

198
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: putting you. I have to maintain. I have to put

199
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: you at least partly in the role of guests, so

200
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: I can feel some sense of superiority. And that's I'm realizing,

201
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: like subconsciously, that's what That's why I didn't book a guest,

202
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: because I was like, once I book a guest, it's official.

203
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: Iowa is a co host, and you want to defeat

204
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: me In a way, It's not so much I want

205
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: to defeat you, it's that I want to maintain the

206
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: power dynamic that otherwise would exist, which is that this

207
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: is my podcast. Okay, so I would say, and you know,

208
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: with the spirit of kindness to this, I don't think.

209
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it's necessarily a thing about superiority. For me,

210
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: it feels like comfort. It feels like, Hey, the this

211
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: is you know, there are rules, rules are good. If

212
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: I could open up, I've got a dog and we've

213
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: and I've been training the dog. I've been I've been

214
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: learning to train the dog. And uh, I met with

215
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: a trainer. I'll admit it. I did because YouTube could

216
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: only do so much. Okay, um, fellas you know what

217
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. And uh, the trainer said, hey, rules

218
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: are good. Imagine if you lived in a world without rules.

219
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: I said, oh no, I won't imagine that. So, um,

220
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: maybe i'm your dog and and you know, and maybe

221
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: there's rules. Maybe i'm your maybe maybe maybe it's not

222
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: even that. Maybe there's just there's just rules, there's just structure.

223
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: And you know what is very interesting to me. I

224
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: consider you, I would say, probably one of my most

225
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: intelligent friends. That's it's not good. Here's what I'm here's

226
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: what I'm realizing. Though you have one really big weakness,

227
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: and that is that you're a metaphor. It is actually crazy,

228
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: like yeah, I actually think it's so like everything else

229
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: you've ever talked about. I've been so um not impressed

230
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: because that implies I'm not expecting it. But like I've

231
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: been so challenged by you. I find you to be

232
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: someone with such a unique mind. Someone says things I

233
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: don't think of myself, and I'm and I'm at this point.

234
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: I've seen you at three different metaphors and this was

235
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: the second that was a second metaphor. I mean, I'm

236
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: just you know the first one, huh. Yeah. The first

237
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: one was so you compared a podcast to a house,

238
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: which to me, it would make sense where that's going.

239
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: It's like the host is the host of a dinner

240
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: party and the guest is the guest. And rather than

241
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: going that route, you came up with such a convoluted storyline.

242
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: And now we have the second metaphor, which is I

243
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: put us back on track by saying and then you

244
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: say that you are my dog. I took it back.

245
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: I took it. I did take it back. In my defense, Um,

246
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: I feel like the way that I make metaphors is like, um,

247
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: when there's too many cooks in a kitchen, I'm all

248
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: of other metaphor. Okay, so I'm sorry there are too

249
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: many cooks in the kitchen, and you are all of

250
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: the cooks. I'm the different parts of my brain are

251
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: all of the clones. So I can't stop. Wait, that's

252
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: a good metaphor, and I'm trying to stop myself from

253
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: saying more because there is more I want to say,

254
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: but I know it will make it will make the

255
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: metaphor worse, much like the dish being cooked. Oh no, no, io,

256
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: please please stop by all of the cooks in your kitchen,

257
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: in the kitchen of my mind. Well, I think that's

258
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: so interesting to have too many cooks in the kitchen

259
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: of your own mind. And of course, normally if you

260
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: have too many cooks, you ask someone to leave. But

261
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: these are parts of yourself. I mean, it's like, what

262
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: part of yourself do you want to kill in order

263
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: to formicle here and sentence? Well, George, you know, much

264
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: like Emily Radajowski and Emma Watson, I am a feminist,

265
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: and I do think that all women have the right

266
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: to lobotomies, and I think we need to get cooking

267
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: on those and I, oh no, not not cooking again.

268
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: I think Kamala, if you care about women got us

269
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: lobotomies before. Did you say Kamala Kamala? No, no, no,

270
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm no, you're right. I'm not correcting you. I just

271
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: didn't hear what you said. Oh my god. The fact

272
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: that you were willing to completely I'm sorry, the fact

273
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: that you were willing to literally say her name wrong

274
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: because you thought that I'm really I'm really vulnerable right now.

275
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm really vulnerable right now. Okay, I'm vulnerable right It's

276
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: actually crazy, and and it makes me think, have I

277
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: set you up? Like it's like if you're a guest,

278
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: or just like up. Sorry, yeah, we've said comma up

279
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: for sure. For Kamala is kind of the Janet Mock

280
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: of the White House, in the same way the super

281
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: Bowl set up Janet. Okay, yeah, and that's not a metaphor.

282
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: That's the truth. That's it's actually not a metaphor. In fact, yes,

283
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be the first corporation to set up Janet mock,

284
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. Okay, kind of, So

285
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: it's so interesting, So you're because I'm kind of the

286
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: Joe Biden I mean, I'm like bringing you in almost

287
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: as like a you know, it's like jack of all trades,

288
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: Like I'm bringing you in. I'm like, all right, do

289
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: everything I'm not I don't want to do so true,

290
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: but that means I'm like I could also kind of

291
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: be like Fauci, very true and also like I'm a

292
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,479
Speaker 1: sex symbol in that way as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

293
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: I heard Fauci is gonna be on the cover of Playgirl.

294
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: No okay, I won't tell you who told me. Yeah, no,

295
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: we don't have to go into it too deeply. To

296
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: be myself, each of us has a Kamala and Faucci. Yeah,

297
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: like the like how like inside me there are two

298
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: wolves like that sort of vibe kind of of your

299
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: brain where there are too many cooks, I would say

300
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: two of them are Commala, three of them are Fauci, right,

301
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: and and in fact, I would say there's a direct

302

308
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,239
Speaker 1: this is that's not a good thing for you. It's like,

309
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: then what are you going to accomplish? Administration? Want to

310
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 1: say anything, because one of the people in my administration,

311
00:19:52,440 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: my personal administration, is second Gentleman Doug M I would say, honestly,

312
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,160

315
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: that his name is Doug. I think I couldn't be

316
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: any other way. I actually think he's probably the member

317
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: of the extended administration family that I related to the most.

318
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,280

319
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: love to be in touch. Could you imagine if we

320
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:33,679

373
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: like she deserves a better career. But I guess that's

374
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: it's funny because like the one, you know, it doesn't

375

380
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: it would be very strange if it was kind of

381
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: like a it was like like an alright, white supremacist rally,

382
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: but their cause was justice for Brenda, Justice for Brenda song,

383

386
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: has any political beliefs, so like, do you know what

387
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: I mean? Like, alliance are so strange. It's like all

388
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: you want to do is win that day's battle. So

389
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: like I could see a world in which a group

390
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: of gay guys cored Brenda Song stands half to form

391
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,600

392
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: that day, yeah, and then it's over the next day. Yeah,

Speaker 1: selected drive my car or shut up, um, just for

398
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: the just for the work alone. Yeah, yeah, shut up

399
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,119

400
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: to be. It's gonna have to be there. And this

401
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: is my last one, the new Amazon reboot of Lord

402
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: of the Rings Elves or Conyves. Okay, this is tough.

403
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: This is tough because in some ways they're both the

404
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: same thing. Yeah, and that's what's that's the fun of it. Yeah,

405
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a it's a tie, it's a time.

410
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: we could have chosen anyone else as a guest co

411
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: host that would have done a better job. I'm so

412

Speaker 1: grateful to you and for this opportunity, the space that

413
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,840

00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: know for you, this was kind of the Super Bowl

415
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: like in the same way that Sam was auditioning for

416
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: months to be the gay guy in the what are

417

Speaker 1: and you know we had one spot for a woman. Yeah,

419
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: I know. I wrote a pocket you did, you did,

420
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: and we didn't read it. I know it was sent

421
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: back to me. We didn't read it. But someone we

422
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: can't read, top that's awesome that they can't read but

423
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 1: they can write. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of people actually

424
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: write books who have never read one. And you mean

425
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: that though, And I do mean it um. I want

426
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: to go back to the riddle. Gorgeous. I want to

427
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: go back to the riddle, and then I want to

428
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: pick a topic for those who need a refresher. We

429
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: might remember, maybe not, maybe you've got maybe you've got

430
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: a short term memory. A perfectly normal plane lands without

431
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: any problems. When they reach the gate, every single person

432
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: gets off the plane. So who's left on the plane?

433
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: People are left on the plane? Who's left on the plane?

434
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: And this was told to me by an old man

435
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: in a dinner. Is it like the people going in

436
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: to clean the plane after everyone has already left. No,

437
00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: but I think that's a good guess. So say your

438
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: guess is out loud in your heart, listeners, The answer

439
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: is all married couples stay on the plane. Every single

440
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: person gets off the plane. Isn't that such a riddle?

441
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: And old man in a dinery, he's a he's a genius.

442
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: I'll never see him again. You'll know this again. You

443

Speaker 1: have a beautiful voice. Thanks. That is my song. What

444
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: topics did you bring? I wrote a few, and you

445
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: know we could see where the wind takes us. The

446
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: first is pre furnished luxury apartments. The second forgetting things

447
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: totally the third death Okay, it's actually crazy because I

448
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: have been wanting to do death. Okay, that feels like

449
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: a winner. Should I read my others? Oh? I thought

450
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: you I thought they were the only three? Okay, yes,

452
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: need an editor. Okay, cinema without the accent Wait what

453
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: cinema but without the accent over the eye Christian God,

454
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: but not Jesus or the Trinity, because Jesus obviously pan

455
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit flaming the Trinity won't come out. But it's like,

456
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 1: what's happening? You're three and one and well, yeah, it's

457
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: like it's Polly Fathers, Like, come on, it's just giving

458
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: at it's little spit. Okay, um having less than one

459
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: hundred tabs open um, trusting in quotes the process in quotes, yeah, um.

460
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: And then heterosexuality. But then I thought, actually a little

461
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: a little gay maybe, well, inevitably it's kind of like

462
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: the blinks. Um, what am I trying to say. It's like,

463
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: it's like when something is censored, all you can think

464
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: about is what's behind the censored thing. It's like when

465
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: you hear heterosexuality, all you can think of is like,

466
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,959
Speaker 1: but you're gay, right, huh. I think the winner might

467
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: be but but please no, I mean your house, your rules. Well,

468
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: I have to say, after the variety of metaphors I've

469
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: heard tonight, I'm not sure whose house it is house dog,

470
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: Doug's rules. Okay, So I there was luxury apartments, there

471
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: was death. Can you can you run through them one

472
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: more time? Pre furnished luxury apartments forgetting things, death, cinema,

473
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: that the accident over the e Christian God having less

474
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: than one hundred tabs open, trusting the process, and heterosexuality

475
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: a little gay in parentheses. So here's what I'll say.

476
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: I would say trusting the process and death are tied

477
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: for number one. Yeah, yeah, Well I think the ultimate

478
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: trusting the process might be death. Let's do death. Let's

479
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: do death. Okay. I don't want to put you on

480
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: the spot, but like, I want to know what you

481
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: know when you were putting that down, what were you thinking?

482
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: Why is death straight? Why did it come to you? Like?

483
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: Why was that one of the topics you brought forth? Well,

484
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: the well always on my mind? How can I was

485
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: gonna put it? But then it just came out to me.

486
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: And then I just was like thinking about like how

487
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: now and I feel like your community is like there's

488
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: so much like celebration of life and like living life

489
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: to the fullest, like when because of you know, consequences

490
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: of like I think having to historically um, And then

491
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: I just thought about like all the funerals I've been

492
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: to where it's like this is so like not fun

493
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: is like so like boring, Like where is like like

494
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: like where is? Yes? Do you know what is? Actually?

495
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:12,239
Speaker 1: Something I find so genuinely moving is when someone in

496
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: some capacity in the fashion industry dies and then at

497
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: their funeral people are turning looks, yes, you know what

498
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: I mean like that it is because and then there's

499
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: like photos that it's like you know, someone wearing a

500
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,479
Speaker 1: crazy hat or someone wearing like all that that designer's clothing.

501
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: That is like it's so it's like and I have

502
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: very little romance about the fashion industry, but that that

503
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: is like such so life affirming and I feel like

504
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: it's like things like that rarely happened, like everyone is

505
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: so um, you know, funerals are such a bummer. They

506
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: really are. I will say, though, I think there's like

507
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: like what like Christians or like Western like traditions of

508
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: death can be like specific, like very boring, like I've

509
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: been to like a Nigerian funeral and like a few

510
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: and um sometimes they will just like be like straight

511
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: up like parties and that. I'm like, we need to

512
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: get culture there, like we need to get like okay,

513
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: somebody's dead, like awkward, like we're gonna do crying. But

514
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: then it's like everybody just bring food and we're all

515
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 1: just gonna like shake our ass for like that sounds great.

516
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: I think I can relate, like I can't relate to

517
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: the funeral itself being happy like that is definitely the

518
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: funeral it's off is not happy, no, but I mean

519
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: like it's but it's a celebration of life rather than

520
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,959
Speaker 1: a morning of death, maybe, is what I'm getting. Yes, yes,

521
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: so I think that. I like I'm just thinking about

522
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: Greek culture and what death is like in Greek culture

523
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: like that. I don't think we're that evolved yet, Like

524
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: I do think Greek funerals are like everyone is wearing black,

525
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: the like food that you get afterwards, it's like this

526
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: very specific thing. You only get a funerals just like

527
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: this terrible like it's like a mixture of raisins and

528
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: sugar kind of it's like it's very bad death food. Yeah,

529
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: it's like death food. But what I but what I

530
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: can relate to is well, okay, I think that there

531
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: is a respect in elders that like I simply don't

532
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: see in America. Okay, say it? Would you say that?

533
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: Have we talked about like that? I remember when I

534
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: found out like people put like old people in like homes. Oh,

535
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 1: I know, horrifying. I was like, that is so that's

536
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: crazy to me. Like my grandparents lived with us, like

537
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: for forever. Yeah, my grandparents still both sets of my

538
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: grandparents live with sadly, not with my parents, but with

539
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: their other kids, like my grandmother like, but both of

540
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: them was with their other daughters. Um. And when I

541
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: was growing up, before we moved to the States, we

542
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: lived in the same apartment building as my grandparents. Like

543
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: we had one floor and they had the floor above us. Yeah,

544
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: it's just so obvious that if someone gets older, they

545
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: have more to offer, and yet the opposite, you find,

546
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: the opposite is true in the popular imagination. I do

547
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,479
Speaker 1: I mean, I okay, I got I got a riddle

548
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: from an old man. I love talking to old people,

549
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: but they're so crazy also, like it's like so nuts,

550
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: or it's like, yeah, obviously, let's hang out, like you're

551
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: kind of you're you're actually maybe a little bit off

552
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: your rocker. Let's go, let's go. Don't you think it's

553
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: so funny because like, yeah, they're off the rockers because

554
00:36:53,960 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: you have to be okay, okay, like how embarrassed him

555
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: to be logical? How how embarrassing to like take in

556
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: the world and be like, how how can I think

557
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: about this? Rationally? It would be like so sad to

558
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: get old and to like remain like bashful or like

559
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: you know, you're like, yeah, imagine being ninety and being

560
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: like I'm an introvert. It's grow up, grow up and

561
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: just get it over with, grow up and die nine. Okay, wait, okay,

562
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: we have to respect our elders. Yeah. Yeah. I have

563
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: a very specific memory of um A shwire Raye, the

564
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: Bollywood star, going on David Letterman and David Letterman making

565
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: fun of her for living with her parents, like truly

566
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: cruelly making fun of her, and it was like awkward,

567
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: and then she goes, well, yeah, it's very common to

568
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: you know where I come from to live with your parents.

569
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: And he's like making fun of her, blah blah, and

570
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,439
Speaker 1: she's like, well, at least I don't have to ask

571
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: my parents to go out for coffee with me, which

572
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 1: I was like, say that, so well, damn good for her. Yeah,

573
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: there's like so many cultures where it's like it's so

574
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: common to just like live with your parents or your grandparents,

575
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: Like it's like, hey, money, here's what I will say

576
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 1: if I'm feeling fruit, if I'm being absolutely honest with myself,

577
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to live with my parents. I don't

578
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: want to live my parents at all, at all, at all.

579
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: That my grandma, if we were on different floors, I respect,

580
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: because I respect, I'm staying out of their house. I'm

581
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: staying out of their house. So but but but in

582
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: terms of death, yes, the subject at hand, the subject

583
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: at hand. Do you feel like there's something there's always

584
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: something straight about something being absolute, like life and death

585
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: is mm hmmm, do you know what I mean? Yes?

586
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 1: But then and then there's like, well then there's different

587
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: conceptions of like the afterlife, that's right, But then some

588
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: of those are quite absolute in a way where it's like,

589
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: well that's no fun. Oh, yeah, well, like Heaven and Hell.

590
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean truly like the idea that anyone could even

591
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: put that forth as a theory, like if you're good

592
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: you go to Heaven and if you're bad you go

593
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: to Hell, and then wars were fought defending that notion.

594
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: It is also like somebody did just kind of like

595
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: figure that one out and everybody just went like crazy

596
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: over it and nobody asked for like a second opinion

597
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: or like yeah proof. Yeah, so Heaven and Hell, I

598
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: would say, is like the straightest possible interpretation of death.

599
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: Would you say that? I would absolutely agree. I used

600
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: to get nightmares as a kid about Hell, yeah, just

601
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: because I was like, no, way, absolutely not. This is

602
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: a bummer. And I grew up really kind of cost tool.

603
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: So you know, we would have like Sunday school and

604
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: you know we're like children, but the adults were still

605
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: very like no, this is this is what we do.

606
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: And I remember once I asked like, oh, like, well,

607
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: dogs go to heaven and my Saday school teacher was

608
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 1: like dogs don't have souls. Are you insane? It's like

609
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 1: seven And I was like what and he was like yeah,

610
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: dogs just just don't have souls. And where It's like

611
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: that is your lack of imagination, your tragic lack of imagination. Yeah,

612
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: isn't it crazy? Like you've imagined, You've imagined two. It's

613
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: like it does take some imagination imagine heaven and hell

614
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: and angels and and then paradise, like what the idea

615
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: of paradise is? Right? And and then you can't fit

616
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: in one more corollary to your h grand vision of

617
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: the afterlife. There's so much stuff about that too that

618
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: has not been worked out. Like I remember like also

619
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: asking I was like I was like a bother in

620
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: some day school, but I remember being like, so, if

621
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: I get to heaven, will I be like how old

622
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,919
Speaker 1: I was when I died? Or like will I be

623
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: kind of like median age or like my favorite age?

624
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: And as was like, just like stop randomly, just like enough.

625
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: I know it's the most obvious possible observation, but like

626
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: curiosity is really beat out of kids. Okay. Yeah, And

627
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: in fact, I would say back to our elder discussion,

628
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: like the reason older people are off their rockers is because,

629
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: after years of suppressing their imagination and their sense of wonder,

630
00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: they like allow themselves to get it back. You might

631
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: as well, I mean at that point, you wasted forty

632
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: years of your life working your way up okay, being

633
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: a dental hygenis, And it's like it's crazy to think, like, Okay,

634
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: you meet an old person and they tell you're a riddle,

635
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 1: and you're like, wow, he's really off his rockers. Meanwhile,

636
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: you meet a fourty year old person who's a marketing

637
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: executive and you're like, oh, he's normal, he's normal. He's

638
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: literally not normal. He's worse. You should all be like crazy, Okay,

639
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: maybe that's it. Yeah, I do actually think, I mean,

640
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: this is getting into difficult territory, but like, don't you

641
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: kind of feel like the most radical position you can

642
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: take is anti logic. I mean, yes, grain with grain

643
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: of grain of reality. Yes, yeah, I mean it's obviously

644
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: difficult because like then, I you know, what if I

645
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: go out and murder everyone you know that doesn't have logic?

646
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: Like I don't mean, I mean maybe, but when people

647
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: make like really long Twitter threads and you're like, yeah, yeah,

648
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 1: maybe actually long log Yeah, it's so it's so hard.

649
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm not anti reason, I'm pro like pro random, Yeah,

650
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, I guess it's a balance. Yeah,

651
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,720
Speaker 1: what is like I want to create like a school

652
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: of thought that's like, um, the opposite of stoicism. It's

653
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 1: like randicism. Yeah, I want to be Plato for being random, right,

654
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 1: like taking joy and the unexpected. You know, it's kind

655
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 1: of a yes and philosophy. We're actually inventing improvv Oh no,

656
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: we're always inventing. You know. It's actually so crazy, we

657
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: really are inventing improv. We're like, what if it's like

658
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: against logic and it's also kind of random and you

659
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 1: have a sense of wonder, a childlike sense of wonder

660
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: that you're still are rules, but the rules help actually

661
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: produce this feeling of randomness and joy and connectivity. And

662
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: you can actually ask for suggestions so that you get

663
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: everyone in. And if you are a fourty year old

664
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: marketing executive, you should be able to take a class

665
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 1: with your coworkers and random twenty year old Yeah. Do

666
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: you know what's the craziest thing is like being a

667
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: random is not a way out, Like the promise of

668
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: being random that broke me. You think you think that's

669
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: the solution and it's not. Yeah, there is no paradise, Okay,

670
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: so we have heaven in hell is the straightest possible

671
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: interpretation of death. I would say maybe ghosts are more queer,

672
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, a more queer. I believe in ghosts. I

673
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 1: have ghost stories. You don't have ghose stories because a

674
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: ghost And basically it's like if the buyin areas life

675
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: and death complicate that, and then it's like, yes, I

676
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: think there are also things about ghosts where it's like, oh,

677
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: you have a grudge, you never settled. Oh you've been

678
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: like pining after somebody, and so you won't leave this earth.

679
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: Oh you just like your house, or you set up

680
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: your house and the way you really like it, and

681
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: you just refuse to move, right, even in death, even

682
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: in the ultimate So we think end of life as

683
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: we know it, you won't leave your house. That's nice. Yeah,

684
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: that's that that spirit, that fortitude. I appreciate it. I know.

685
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: I guess the goal ultimately is to become a ghost.

686
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 1: I wish there was like a like an in between.

687
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I could sometimes be a ghost.

688
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: I could sometimes be just dead right right, and maybe

689
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: take the train to heaven like on the weekends, like

690
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: go upstate to heaven, right. I do think I kind

691
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: of agree, Like I think when I die, I'll be

692
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: ready to check out. But then yeah, once a year,

693
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: I'll want to kind of check in with everyone. How

694
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: my kids are doing. How did Halloween Town work? I

695
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: don't remember. Could you like go to Halloween? Like could Halloween?

696
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: Could you go to Halloween toown if you were like dead?

697
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: But Halloweentown? Like, I don't want to visit Halloween Town.

698
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: I want to visit the real world, like if I

699
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: don't want to be dead and be like my only

700
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: option is that worried about Calabar. You don't want to

701
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: be worried about Calabars revenge. Yeah, I don't want to

702
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 1: see a jack o' lantern, that's true. Oh my god, yeah,

703
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: I never want to see a jack olander one. IM

704
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: like dead, right, They're so ugly even when they're good. Um,

705
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: your eyes just like lit up? Did you get any message?

706
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: I know? I literally was thinking about about Halloween Town,

707
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: about jack o lantern's. Okay, so thinking about jack o lanterns?

708
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: I like, Um, like when I stay in hotels, I

709
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: really like, you know, watching cable because it's like the

710
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: only time I watch it because I don't have cable. Um,

711
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: I'm sorry being vulnerable and Um, I always end up

712
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: watching the Food Network, and like for every holiday that's nearby,

713
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: they have like, you know, twelve weeks of programming for

714
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: whatever is near So when it's Valentine's Day, it's like

715
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: cupcake Wars, like Chapolin, like drama whatever. And then when

716
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: it's Halloween, there's always like jack o lantern carving, pumpkin

717
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: pump pump competitions, pump getitions. Is That's what I was

718
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: trying to say. God, I'm the Shakespeare my generation. Um,

719
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: but there's always jack lanternn carving competitions and like big

720
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: cake things. When then there's also somebody whose job on

721
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: the cake team is to like carve Glord's. It's like

722
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: it's a lot of that and I'm never really I'm

723
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: never I'm never happy. I guess I do about that

724
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: what we do with that? That this is, this is

725
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: worth in my metaphors, don't know anywhere. I just I

726
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 1: just sort of wanted to share that with somebody, And

727
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: you're the first person I guess I felt safely. Yeah,

728
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: and then I immediately that was a mistake. That was

729
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: a mistake. No, I immediately laughed at you. I mean

730
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: it's like after after all our talk about being random,

731
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: you actually tried to be random and I I literally

732
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: was like, leave, yeah, you're not ready for for what

733
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: I'm trying to bring to society. Do you feel like

734
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: there's a place for a randomness, like you know, in

735
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: politics and in the Biden administration. I don't think in

736
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, um, there is a place for randomness,

737
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: which is like, well, but actually Joe Biden is one

738
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: of the more random presidents. I think we've like we've

739
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 1: had like I do think like also going Obama to

740
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: Trump to Biden is literally so random. Yes, it has

741
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: like we thought we were doing history, but we were

742
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: actually doing like we were having fun with it a

743
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: mood board, we were doing like a ladder pace. You're

744
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: so right, You're like, yeah, it's like, um, it's Biden,

745
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: Trump and Obama are very much like, you know, the

746
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:33,320
Speaker 1: three types of Yes, you know, it's like the three

747
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 1: types of personalities you can be on a first date. Yes,

748
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 1: It's very like spaghetti at the wall, where it's like, oh, yeah,

749
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: like this is the oh, this is the American experience.

750
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: It's also kind of like, well, okay, we tried all

751
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: three and none of them were none of them, and

752
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: all of them were like we random, random, yeah, random.

753
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: I was like, Obama is like, looky, very thirsty, like

754
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: I keeps making mix tapes. It's like, brother. The fact

755
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: that Obama still releases his favorite set us Free. Brother,

756
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: you've read books and songs and movies every year, is

757
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 1: like you so bad as a nation. Everybody needs to

758
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: pack it up. And then he's like, oh, I'm going

759
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: to be a movie producer. No, let it go, Let

760
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: it go everyone. Do you know what I find so

761
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: interesting is that Harry and Megan um Do not like

762
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: got a podcast deal and two years later have not

763
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: released the podcast released a past everyone needs to grow up?

764
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: Do you mind if I read a poem? Please? I

765
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: was actually gonna ask you to read one. I want

766
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: a person with aids for president. I want an improviser

767
00:50:55,040 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: for vice president, and I want someone so absolutely for

768
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: what to also be president again. Oh okay, and I

769
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 1: read that. Wow. One time I tried to reference that

770
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: poem in something and someone someone thought I was being

771
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 1: like a very offensive joke because they didn't know the original.

772
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 1: And so since then I've been like very worried whenever

773
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: whenever anyone references it. I tried. I tried carefully. I

774
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: know what I what I knew it was. Can I

775
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: say something? Actually, here's what I actually think would be

776
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:41,760
Speaker 1: the last frontier. Are you ready for this? A president

777
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: with vocal fry? Wow? Yeah, yeah, because it is the

778
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: I would think. I think literally Trump we were like,

779
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: oh my god, Trump is so crazy? How is he

780
00:51:55,800 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: in office? I don't think. I think how think vocal

781
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: fry is less socially accepted than anything Trump has ever done?

782
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 1: But do you think do you think it's I mean,

783
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:14,800
Speaker 1: like if it what if it's a man with vocal fry? Um,

784
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: woman with vocal fries? Never happened? It's never happening. Well,

785
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: I think this goes back to the Yeah, it's like

786
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: a man. It goes to the question by the late

787
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: and great Olivia Craighead, are we going to get I

788
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: miss her so much every day? Are we going to

789
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: get her? Question of course is are we going to

790
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: get an Italian American president or a gay president? Gay president? First?

791
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: And so I guess then the corollary to that is,

792
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: are we going to get a male president with vocal

793
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: fry first? Or? Okay, are we going to get a

794
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: straight male president with vocal fry or a game male

795
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:55,879
Speaker 1: president without vocal fry first, because that actually gets right

796
00:52:55,880 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: to the point that is the question. Literally, I not

797
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 1: even kidding that is the question, because that is the

798
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: ultimate question, is are people afraid of homosexuality or femininity?

799
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 1: Say it? Do you know what I mean? Say it?

800
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: I think it's a gay president without vocal fry was

801
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: a Republican first, I kind of agree. I think it

802
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: will be a gay president with no vocal fry who

803
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,760
Speaker 1: is a Republican. And then it will be a straight,

804
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: straight democratic president, democratic president withal fry. Yeah, and I

805
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: think maybe he's also like I think he's like married

806
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: to somebody who's black O Asian. Are you assuming he

807
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: himself is not black O Asian. I can't. I don't

808
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: think we can. I don't think we'll see that again. Literally, Okay, okay,

809
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: that's fair. I don't know. Okay, So a white a

810
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: straight white man with local fry married to married to

811
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: maybe she's half black, half Asian. He's married Tom. It

812
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: does actually would not. I've never heard Doug speak, but

813
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: like if Duck started speaking, he had vocal fry'd be

814
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 1: like that makes sense, that would make perfect sense. Wow,

815
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: I can't believe Doug is going to be our first

816
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:26,479
Speaker 1: straight male president with vocal fry. I was looking over

817
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: your deal, um, and I really think we can bring

818
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,240
Speaker 1: them up. He's also gonna have upsteech. I was looking

819
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: over wait, I can't how do you do vocal fry?

820
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: I was looking Doug gardage. And so the state of

821
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 1: the Union this year is that it's honestly pretty god okay,

822
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: like randomly enough, um, like we are going to be

823
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: in dating three countries, but like, I'm not stressed about

824
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: it at all. I just met with Pitton and honestly,

825
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: he's kind of a badass. I'm really glad we got there.

826
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm happy. It's it's really it makes me so happy

827
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: when the when an episode comes together and it's like,

828
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: of course, looking back. The ultimate conclusion is that Doug

829
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,760
Speaker 1: em Hog is going to be the first straight white

830
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: male president with vocal fry. The ultimate conclusion is, Doug,

831
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: any last thoughts about death? Shut up and die? Do

832
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: you feel like, um, are you afraid of death? I

833
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: think I always will be a little bit because I

834
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: grew up so Christian like. But I think that hopefully,

835
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, things go well and I am able to

836
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: die like older, I hope that I get like a

837
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: sense of peace and closure and like as I continue

838
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 1: to live my life so earnest, Like as I continue

839
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 1: to live my life and like chase things that I

840
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: enjoy and like be around people that I love, I

841
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: feel like better about it. But it's like it's just

842
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: like weird. It's like it's weird to be to be

843
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: alive and then get a sense for being alive and

844
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: then know that at some point it has an end,

845
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: but you just don't know like when it is. Yeah, totally.

846
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: I feel like I try to think of it in

847
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 1: terms of like, let's say you're writing something or you're

848
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 1: creating something, like the limitations of whatever form you're working

849
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:52,280
Speaker 1: in are actually productive because that's what makes something good,

850
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean. Like if you're uh,

851
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:02,919
Speaker 1: like the rules to writing a movie or a book

852
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: or something, Yes, you can see them as limiting, but

853
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,399
Speaker 1: you can also see them as like the thing that

854
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,800
Speaker 1: makes it what it is. And I feel like death

855
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: is that limit. Like I you, it makes you appreciate

856
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: life for what it is because it is clearly defined.

857
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: Life would be a completely different, unrecognizable thing if it

858
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: was infinite. Yeah, that's true, that's true. I think the

859
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: thing about death that makes me sad is like when

860
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 1: I think about things that like I'll miss yeah, like

861
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 1: because I like. But then also I think to your point, like,

862
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: but then that's not life like then you're like God

863
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: or whatever, and that seems like boring draws. I mean,

864
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: talk about someone who could never have vocal for I,

865
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 1: that's so true. I feel like God is like in

866
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: a weird musical where he's only allowed to sing. Or

867
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: are they? She? Were they? Or I find myself maybe

868
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: this is narcissistic, but I'm like you mentioned things you

869
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: will miss. I'm like, I think about like people miss

870
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 1: you will miss me, like is it's so much sad,

871
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: Like I will be gone. I'm not going to miss anything,

872
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: whereas like, if God forbid, something happens to me and

873
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: people I love her, you're still alive. Yeah, that want

874
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: me not to miss you? I could try just kidding you.

875
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 1: Imagine well, I like, out of respect for George's wishes,

876
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm happy, Well, don't do it a riddance. Like when

877
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 1: I think about the possibility of me of my life ending,

878
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: I feel like I'll feel such a maybe this says

879
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: something about me. But like, I feel like I would

880
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: feel such a sense of guilt on my death bed.

881
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh god, it's because of me that

882
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: all these people feel sad. Yeah yeah, that would kind

883
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: of be a bummer. But then that's why you have

884
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: to do like celebration of life vibes. Okay, idal funeral

885
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: go every year starting at fifty, I have a surprise

886
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 1: birthday party on a random day of the year for

887
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: my birthday. It's a huge party, it's super fun. Then

888
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: one day everybody gets dressed up. Damn surprise, it's my funeral.

889
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: And so I'm sorry, these people would not know that

890
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 1: you are dead when they, like you would hide the

891
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: fact that you had died until your birthday. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

892
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: Well my birthday party is on a different day every year.

893
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so you like never know and then when yeah,

894
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: and then it's like, oh my god, she's dead, and

895
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: it's like then, I guess there has to be like

896
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: a warning where it's like, Okay, so, um, she's dead,

897
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: that's not that's not I don't have to figure that out.

898
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm gone. Somebody else can figure out how they're going

899
00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 1: to tell people. But then it's like, don't worry, let's party.

900
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: You can share stories, but mostly let's just hang out

901
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 1: and like rock on What venue are we talking? Probably

Speaker 1: like a um? Like a church, okay, not like the Bellhouse. Um,

903
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: I've converted the Bellhouse into a church. This is And

904
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like, really, I've gotten like really rich

905
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: and I've made my own hill song. Yeah. What if

906
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: your passion project when you were really rich was creating

907
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: a life size replica of the Bell House on top

908
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 1: of like a mountain in Peru. Yeah, honestly that sounds great,

909
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: does it? I don't know, Wow, what's your ideal funeral?

910
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think about it, Like there's something so

911
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: inherently narcissistic about talking, like it is inherently self aggrandizing

912
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 1: to talk about your own funeral. But normal, Yes, I know,

913
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, you know, having a different surprise birthday

914
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: party every year at a different day that leads to

915
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 1: a funeral, it's very normal. I want there to be

916
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: some form of new thing happening, like like, I don't

917
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 1: I haven't worked this out in my mind, but I'm

918
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 1: like I wanted there to be like a screening of

919
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: a film that has never been seen before. Wow. I

920
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 1: wanted to want my funeral to be a movie premiere. Yeah. Absolutely,

921
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 1: I guess that's my answer. I want my funeral to

922
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 1: be a movie premiere with a step and repeat and

923
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: I and I for you. If I die after you,

924
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: I would make sure that it's a remastering of Licorice Pizza.

925
01:01:52,160 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 1: Thank you. Oh my god. Wow. Well, I don't know.

926
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: I feel like we do. I have any more insights

927
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 1: about death, probably, but like what's the point. Yeah, I

928
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: guess that's what it comes down to. I'm I just

929
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 1: hope you when you die. I just want to say

930
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: I hope we die at the same time. I think

931
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 1: that's like one of my hopes is like, but then

932
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 1: that's like an act, like suicide pact. Yeah no, but

933
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 1: sometimes I'm like, I would love if like me, my parents,

934
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 1: my best friends, all that at the same time, But

935
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: like that's like a tragedy or like a terrorist event,

936
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,439
Speaker 1: like that's the only way you can happen right before

937
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: we all get raptured. I think this is right, I think,

938
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,919
Speaker 1: but that was like be so crazy because I don't

939
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 1: even know if my clothes would stay on or if

940
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 1: you just get up naked, and I think you're pointing

941
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: it like the main issue with death. It's like, the

942
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 1: issue with death is not in the fact of death

943
01:02:55,640 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: in and of itself, it's the lack of coordination among

944
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 1: various people of wending. Yes, do you know, like that's

945
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 1: the issue. Is not even that life is finite or

946
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: that we're all going to die, it's the it's frankly,

947
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: the randomness. Okay. Yeah. And also it's like you want

948
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 1: to live old, but then it's like all people who

949
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: live old, like all their friends basically like die. And

950
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 1: then it's like you have to like like recount the

951
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 1: floppy disk to young people. And it's like, I guess

952
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: I might be too lazy for that. It's hard to say,

953
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: right we there really needs to be more intergenerational um

954
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: friendship otherwise we're all going to hell. It's so it's true.

955
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe the next time I come back on the podcast,

956
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 1: I'll find like an old person, yeah, and we can

957
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: do the podcast together. Maybe I'll have my grandma on

958
01:03:56,080 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 1: the last thing she ever does in your podcast. O. God,

959
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: I would I would, you know, I would work on

960
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:09,439
Speaker 1: my I would work on my Greek. Yeah. We haven't

961
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:12,920
Speaker 1: even talked about your issue with fetishizing Greek people. I

962
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: don't think it's an issue. Okay, um, is it an issue? Well?

963
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 1: So much should have told me that when I was

964
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 1: in Greece. Did you say that in Greece? Yeah? Oh

965
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: my god, that's so cute. The x is A is

966
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 1: like either or it's like okay, oh yeah, oh yeah, perfect.

967
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 1: It's like nine. It's kind of like an age like

968
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 1: but just like more more intense, moretense, cool, more throat heavy.

969
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 1: I love that for me. Obviously, any funeral should be

970
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 1: held like on a beach. I feel yeah. I like

971
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: the idea of having like, um, sort of like balcony situations,

972
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 1: so they're like, is indoor if you can do it,

973
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: if you want, you want to be endured. Um. You

974
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: know what we need to do is our final segment.

975
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 1: It is in fact, well wait, I need to literally

976
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: say that the thing I need to say about Sam.

977
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 1: You should, um, Sam tested positive for COVID in Chile,

978
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: so Sam's like in Chile, Sam in Chile for another week.

979
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god. It was just literally what I was

980
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: gonna say. Remember in the very beginning where we were like, okay,

981
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: fact number one, fact number two, and then and then

982
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: instead you were like, Sam is playing in the super Bowl.

983
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: Then we talked about that for fun. Well that was fun.

984
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: Everybody had a fun time, and talking about it is

985
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 1: so much more fun than talking about every tested positive

986
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 1: for covid IT. But yeah, Sam, well we'll do a

987
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 1: Patreon from from there. Him and I will record this week.

988
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 1: But Sam indeed was shooting something in Chile then, in fact,

989
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: when on a nice vacation with his partner. Then his

990
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: partner tested negative and is now back in the United States,

991
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 1: and Sam is quarantining by himself in Santiago. Sometimes life

992
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 1: just rocks. Yeah, you know, I really am the more

993
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: we talk more like randomness is bad. You became you're

994
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:40,959
Speaker 1: now part of the anti random. I kind of feel

995
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 1: like i've I'm kind of anti random. Oh my god.

996
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 1: I literally I just know. I just thought we were friends.

997
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 1: I know. I mean, you get I get conservative as

998
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm getting older, and I'm now anti random. It's true,

999
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 1: it's true. But I will say the way in which

1000
01:06:55,080 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: you presented your anti randomness had random vibes. Yeah, randomne

1001
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 1: that's the tension. So I just want to say, um, Sami,

1002
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: are sending our spots and prayers to you and love

1003
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 1: for anyone wondering, He's totally fine. It is that many symptoms,

1004
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 1: honestly it Who can trust tests these days? Can? I say?

1005
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 1: I think if you get it and you're asymptomatic and

1006
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,280
Speaker 1: you quarantine and do all this aff you're supposed to do,

1007
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 1: I think it's good. Like you know, if you like

1008
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: got your booster, you know you're healthy, whatever isn't I'm like,

1009
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 1: it's good because there's such an anxiety like to like

1010
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: especially like you know, been what over two years now

1011
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:44,920
Speaker 1: if you haven't gone it that whole time? Anxiety. I

1012
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 1: got it in December, No January. I got in January.

1013
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:49,919
Speaker 1: I got it in December, and look at me now

1014
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 1: and Sam talking about podcast Sam thought he got I mean,

1015
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: it's it's all very Sam was quarantining at some point

1016
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 1: in January because he thought he had it. I don't

1017
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: know what's going on with this stuff, Like I don't

1018
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:02,440
Speaker 1: know if I should be worried or not. When there

1019
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 1: was an article that's like it's now in rats, I'm like,

1020
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: wasn't it all? Like? I guess I don't know what

1021
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to do about that. I'm not hanging

1022
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 1: out with rats um okay our final segment of final

1023
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 1: segment shoutouts, where we give a shout out to something

1024
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 1: that we want to shout out, and it's a it's

1025
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 1: a tribute to the radio shoutout, which is a very

1026
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:32,200
Speaker 1: important part of straight culture. M And so I'm kind

1027
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 1: of stalling, to be honest, because I don't really have one.

1028
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 1: I have one, Okay. I want to shout out um,

1029
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 1: the Greek people. Um. Despite statements that have been made

1030
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 1: against me saying that I fetishize you, I don't sago okay, Um,

1031
01:08:55,080 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 1: We're family, um. And it runs deep. It runs deep

1032
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 1: as the Greek pizza shop that I used to hang

1033
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: out with when I was a kid, and the man

1034
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 1: who worked there gave me an apron and he said,

1035
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 1: you can work here if you want, And that touched

1036
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 1: my heart when I was a child. And now I

1037
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,760
Speaker 1: wonder if they were just looking for sort of free

1038
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 1: labor from a kid who was like, I love pizza.

1039
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:23,680
Speaker 1: It's hard to say, but it doesn't matter. Greece is

1040
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:32,479
Speaker 1: cool and I love I love my and I love

1041
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:38,600
Speaker 1: Olympia Dukakis. Oh, I love Olympia Dukakis. Okay, Well, and

1042
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:44,919
Speaker 1: like and like and like the whole Dukakis dynasty. Yeah whoo,

1043
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 1: and so like that's like this has such a long tail.

1044
01:09:52,600 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 1: It's becoming in becoming in metaport just by length. Yeah.

1045
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 1: Jennifer Aniston Greek of course, John Stamos, Wuenos, Rita Wilson.

1046
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,679
Speaker 1: Do you know who's great? Patricia Field, the costume designer

1047
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: of Sex and City Great. People don't know that, Tina

1048
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: fe You know who else is great? Yes? Found that

1049
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 1: out because of because of the Hulu show. Damn it, Tony,

1050
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right. Um, well, I guess it's my

1051
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 1: time to shout out, isn't it. Yes? Yeah, I mean nine,

1052
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 1: you're kidding me? A and I together are Nobody told

1053
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 1: me this. That's actually so annoying that no one told you.

1054
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: Everybody was just like, you're trying your best, which I

1055
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 1: feel like not. That's I don't feel good about. That's

1056
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: actually shocking because to me, I feel like Greek people

1057
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 1: actually like are not shy about telling you you're doing

1058
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: something wrong. I think everybody was just like, oh, you're

1059
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:05,040
Speaker 1: not here for real. It's a little at the slide, okay,

1060
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 1: net and a yeah, yeah you're doing great, thank you.

1061
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:18,879
Speaker 1: I needed that. Yeah, um okay, um, well, who nobody's

1062
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: behind me? Think, I literally cannot think of words. It's

1063
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 1: actually humiliating. Shout out words, I know, um, you know,

1064
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 1: I'll say this, shout out to little pockets of free

1065
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 1: will throughout the day. So much of life is predetermined,

1066
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 1: and I often feel like I'm completely not in control

1067
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 1: in any way, and occasionally I will feel like I

1068
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,600
Speaker 1: am actually making a decision and it is in my

1069
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 1: power for my day to go one way versus another way.

1070
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 1: And basically, those moments are all we have, and you

1071
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 1: just have to kind of like appreciate them and have

1072
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 1: faith in them and not worried out the moments where

1073
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 1: you don't have free will. And that, my friends, is

1074
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,759
Speaker 1: the topic of my new book. I said it, Colin.
