Hey, be careful or I'll 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:17.639 eat you. 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.880 Ha. No, don't do that, don't do that. 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:23.200 So Bug, what's going on with you? 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:23.360 Man? 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:24.520 Would you want to talk about today? 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:31.160 I'm this is kind of crazy. I don't know if 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:38.720 this is all that relatable. But I don't really feel 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:44.239 like a person, you know, sometimes I just want to 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:49.080 be like, uh, the dog is that real? Is that 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:50.720 a real thing people experience? 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.520 Well, you're real and you're experiencing it, so. 0:00:54.560 --> 0:01:00.000 Yes, type ship that's true? 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:04.000 Actually all right, so you feel like you might be 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.280 a du here's the thing I've and I know people 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.039 are gonna want to make this into like a weird 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:13.120 furry sex thing because that's just but no, no, no, no, 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.200 I know, I know, I know, I know. I've also 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:19.679 thought about I've thought about this multiple times. This is 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.400 You're not alone in this. I've looked at dogs. That's 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.720 a funny thing to say confidently, like it's like you're 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:31.160 something you're bragging about. I've looked at dogs, many dogs, 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:37.640 and I noticed that. You know, I think people are 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:41.479 happiest when they're like in the moment, you know, because 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.880 if you're depressed, you're like thinking about I mean, you 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:45.800 might be depressed thinking about the future or the past. 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.640 And if you're anxious, you're thinking about the future. But 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.360 like if you're really like happy, it's when you're doing 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:54.200 you're really present. And dogs are like the most their 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:59.120 brains like are so they're so stupid that they can't 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.880 even the future or the past. They just are are. 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:08.160 So they're so stupid they can only be exactly where 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.919 they are and that's why they're always Also, Yeah. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:16.320 Like puppies literally just get to be like told they're 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:21.120 doing a good job every day for like just sitting down. 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:27.240 That sounds so easy. Yeah, they can like piss outside 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:31.720 and be, oh shit, good job, bro. Like what, I 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.880 gotta get up at seven am and go to class. 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:40.880 I gotta write a paper why no, being a dog 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.799 is being That sounds so much easier. 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:45.960 All right, But here's the thing, and I'll put it 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.520 to you. I'll put it to you like this. Actually, 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.160 I was debating with my friend the other day about 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.000 whether or not it would be easier, like whether or 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.840 not it would be easier to be dead. I think 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.799 I talked about this on the podcast too, whether or 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.160 not to be easier to be dead, And this is 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.280 kind of feels like a similar argument it'd be easier 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.360 to be a dog. But I think ultimately it's probably 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.079 more rewarding to be a human being. You have access 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:14.400 to a greater breadth of life experience as a human 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.799 than as a dog. Do you not agree with that? 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:24.400 Sometimes? But I guess I don't really go out much. 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:30.040 I'm kinda I'm kind of a homebody. I sort of 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:38.920 just smoke lead and play video games. So I'm enjoying. 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.200 Am I enjoying my experience? 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.240 And are you experience? 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:53.000 I mean, I'm still doing it, so I guess so. 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:59.400 But like, I feel like there's got to be more, right? 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:01.800 How old are you? 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.320 I'm twenty? 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.120 What more do you desire for there to be? 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:18.599 I don't even like anything? What the fuck? What more could? Like? 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:28.599 Don't people? Don't people fall in love at some point? Like? 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:35.440 Isn't there stuff to do? I ain't never had no job. 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.160 I'm twenty years old. I never had a job. That's crazy, 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:38.600 isn't it. 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.480 Well, it's very funny to me that when I asked 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.120 you what more there is to life? You said all 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.279 things that are human things, right. 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:50.080 Like dogs? 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.799 Uh yeah, yeah yeah, but you're talking about like romance, 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.960 You're talking about like romantic love. I assume you're talking 0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:01.039 about romantic love. I don't think dogs feel romantic love. 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.320 They feel like familial love, and they certainly get very 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:09.599 horny and they fuck each other, but they I don't 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:14.279 think that they like like that. Like no dog has ever, like, 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:19.560 you know, written a poem about a woman that he's 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.400 in love with, you know, like dog. I don't think 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:25.239 dogs experience of that kind of love. They just get horny. 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.520 And a lot of humans as well also have not 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.599 experienced that kind of love and also just get horny. 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:35.119 But that feels like a human thing. And then jobs, 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:39.000 Some dogs have jobs, but most don't. So the things 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.800 that you're talking about wanting more out of your life 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:46.400 are they're human things right right? 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:46.760 Right? 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.839 Dogs can't even smoke weed and play video games. So 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:55.440 your life experience would be if you think you're not 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.440 getting enough out of life right now, if you're sitting 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.720 here going is this all there is? I mean, if 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.760 you're a dog, imagine all the things that you're doing 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.480 right now. Imagine all the things you're doing right now, 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.640 being like is this all there is? And then you know, 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.400 get rid of at least twelve of them and you 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.560 probably have like five things as a dog you can 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:15.680 you can do like five things. 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:20.279 That's actually I never thought about that like that. I 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.920 wouldn't be able to do. Wow. Actually, thank you you 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:25.520 opened my eyes to a lot of shit today. 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.160 So think about it like this. Everything that you're doing, 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.599 smoking weed, playing video games, having a conversation with me 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:36.360 right now, going on Reddit and looking at bugs and shit, 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.280 all those things, those are all everything. Everything you are. 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:46.280 You're on Reddit, everything that you're doing is don't lie 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.960 and say you're not on ready, you're a redular. Everything 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.400 that you're doing is an amazing thing. Outside of that, 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.240 like a like to a dog, all the like, like 0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:00.000 you're fantasizing about this like human life that doesn't exist 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.200 where you go like Walter Midi mode and you're, you know, 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.760 living the all these crazy experiences. But to a dog, 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.680 you're Walter Midty. You're living the crazy life, getting high 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:17.560 and playing video games right right, right right now, Let 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.680 me tell you something. Let me tell you something, even 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:24.320 crazier bug? Okay, all right, so we've established that getting high, 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.920 playing video games and going on Reddit and having conversations 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:33.400 with other people is like a crazy experience. Mm hmm 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.600 get this if you wanted to, if you wanted to, 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:44.960 it could get even crazier, even crazier, crazier. Well, I 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.400 don't know, I mean, what do you what do you want? 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:48.720 How do you want it to be crazy? 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:50.760 Well? 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:52.520 What? What's what? 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:53.000 What? 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.880 What? What makes it crazier? How does it get crazier? Like? 0:07:55.920 --> 0:08:01.320 How do I? How do I improve this? If I'm 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:05.840 if I can't, if I can't be a dog, or 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:10.480 if being a dog is a step down, then where 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.840 do I go? What do I? How do I expand 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:15.240 you know, what do I do? 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:24.480 That's a good question. Well you want to fall in love? Right? 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:27.080 Facts? 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.880 Yeah, okay, you should probably get ripped? That would help. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:33.720 Why do you what? 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:34.200 What is this? 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.800 What is this idea that I'm on Reddit that I'm 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:38.160 not like? What what do you? 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.280 What is hold on? I didn't infer hold on? Maybe 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.199 you know what? You're right? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.200 I shouldn't have assumed that you're not already ripped. 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:56.360 I mean, like I'm not, but it's let's find though. 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:57.880 No, no, I'm not. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:58.240 I'm not. 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:02.680 Okay, you should get ripped. That's one. 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:03.440 What else? 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.000 What else? All right? You want to fall in love? 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:07.720 All right, you'll get ripped and fall in love. All right, 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.000 we've done that. What else? What do you want to do? 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.679 You want to climb a mountain? Do you wanna go 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.360 to China? What else is going on with you? What 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:15.920 do you want to do? 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:21.520 Climbing a mountain sounds kind of fun. Actually, I feel. 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.439 Like that might be dangerous, so you gotta get ripped 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:25.480 to do that too. 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:29.640 Do I have to get ripped to go to China? 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.120 You do not have to get ripped to go to China. 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:35.480 Right, I'll be I'll be fat in China. 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.760 You can be fat in China. That sounds fun, dude. 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.880 They got good food too. Like I feel like I 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:47.960 could just be fat in China and then smoke weed 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.040 and get fatter in China. 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.600 You know we've been talking. Uh see, you're a dog, 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:01.840 all right, China. There's dogs in China. But no, if 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.960 if you were, like if you were a dog in America, 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:10.520 you could not of your own will go get fat 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.800 and smoke weed? In China. I'm pretty sure if you 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:14.800 smoke weed in China, they'll put you in jail for 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:16.280 like thirty years. 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.520 But I don't know, because we'd like super legal and 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:20.600 like that's. 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:24.040 Like they probably probably I have no idea. But see, 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.520 if you were a dog, you couldn't go be fat 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.520 and go to China. I mean, if you're you'd be 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:33.480 at the behest of another of a human being taking 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:38.760 you there. And I would say ninety nine point nine 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.439 percent of dogs living in America have never been to China. 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.880 That's probably true. I'd agree, No, you're probably right about that. 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.080 So have I can? I feel like I don't. I 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.480 feel like I've successfully convinced you that it's better to 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:54.600 be a human than a dog. 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.760 I think I'm I'm starting to realize that being a 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:04.240 huge men might be the higher life one. Yeah, I'm 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:05.079 starting to see it. 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.400 All Right, So you're gonna go get fat in China 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.400 and you're gonna come back and get ripped and fall 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:15.400 in love because that's two things you want? More? You 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.440 want more things? How many more things you want? 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.200 I'm I just want. I just want to fall in 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.160 love right now. Honestly, I feel like falling in love 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:32.920 might fix me. Mm, but I I thought being a 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.520 dog would fix me. And then I called you, and 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:37.320 now I don't know. 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:42.040 Yeah, you think being in love will fix you? You know, 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:43.840 I don't know. I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna I'm 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.800 gonna get vulnerable with you for a second about with this, 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.439 because it's an interesting I think a lot of people 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:53.559 think of that, and I avoided that for a while, 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.480 and I was like, oh, I'm going to just dive 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:01.200 into you know, the whole thing. Well, I mean, you're 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.200 I think you're in a point where you should explore 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:09.959 yourself because I mean going from I think not wanting 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:14.520 to be a dog would fix you more than falling 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:18.480 in love, you know what I'm saying. But I was 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.600 gonna say, I think falling in love, I think is 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.120 a nice I don't know. I don't know. I used 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:25.679 to I used to think it was like an accessorate 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:29.120 of life. But I do think it's an integral life thing. 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.880 But there's all sorts of integral life things, and falling 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.760 in love is just one of them. So you can't 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.959 just fall in love and then have the rest of 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:43.760 your life be like dog shit and then like that's 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.040 usually lean on that because then you're fucked. You know, 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.880 falling in love is part of a complete breakfast of life, 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:50.440 you know. 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:56.640 Right right right? That makes sense? Do you think if 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.199 I was a villain I would be better? Like if 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.040 I was if I was a U, if I turned 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:05.560 to crime to spice up my life? If I turn 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:11.800 to something like you know I said earlier. I don't 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:13.400 know if you heard me when I said this, but 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.280 I said I never had a job and not twelve 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.840 years of life. If I turned to something like dealing 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:23.080 weed instead of smoking it, do you think I could? 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:23.840 Do? 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:25.240 You think that might be fulfilling? 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:27.439 What are you fucking talking about? 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:27.680 Man? 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.199 I'm just trying to like figure out like you said, 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:33.760 that being in love won't. 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.040 Figure being a dog? 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.520 Why are the two? Why are the three things in 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:42.040 your Why are the three things in your mind what 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.760 will fix you? Why are the three things in your 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.800 mind that will fix you being a dog, falling in 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:52.160 love and dealing weed? How did you arrive those three? 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:52.720 Love? 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:58.200 Money, love, and and and what do dogs get? They 0:13:58.240 --> 0:13:58.840 get praise? 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:05.200 Dogs can't. Dogs can't deal with fall, Dogs can't deal 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.559 weed or fall in love. They can't do either of 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:13.200 those things, but they receive love. You can receive love 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:13.960 as a human being. 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:16.960 Yeah, I haven't. 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:23.920 So your friends, I have kind of. 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:29.120 Kind friends are friend That's a weird concept. I don't 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:30.320 really know what friends are. 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.520 You do not know what friends are? Tell me, tell 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:34.720 me more what you mean by that. 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:44.640 I think that I really struggle keeping people close. I'm 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:52.760 not really good at like opening up to people or 0:14:52.800 --> 0:15:00.359 being myself around people. I'm also a Gemini and I 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:05.200 I have a really bad tendency of adopting other people's personalities. 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:13.920 And that is that an astrology thing? That's a this? Yeah, yeah, 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.080 I'm gonna get some flag for this. But one thing 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:23.160 I don't like. I don't like astrology because and I'm 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.160 by the way you seem like you do. So I'm 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.000 open to being wrong. You can fill me in with 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:32.480 your take on my take. I'm open to that, but 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.080 I don't like. One thing I don't like about astrology 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.240 is that I don't like the idea that it becomes 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.960 like a self fulfilling prophecy. Do you know what I'm saying? 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.960 Like you go on a website and it goes, hey, 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:49.560 because you were born at this time, you're an asshole 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.640 and then you go, oh, I must be an asshole 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.840 because I was born at this time. Or it's like, 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:59.040 because you were born at this time, you don't know 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.320 how to talk to people that well. And you're like, oh, 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.720 all right, I guess that's true. And it's like becomes 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.160 a like what you think about yourself kind of like 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.200 your thoughts become reality, you know what I mean? Does 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:09.800 that make sense? 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.560 Yeah, it's kind of like you manifest all the negative 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.160 shit right right right. 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.800 And I don't believe in manifestation in like a like 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:22.480 a woo woo way, but in this terms of like, oh, 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.120 if you read something on the internet that says that 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:29.200 because the moon is a certain way, you don't know 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.160 how to make friends, that you and you just repeat 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.400 that in your brain. You like, that becomes kind of 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:42.720 like a part of your uh self belief, you know. Yeah, 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:44.720 But I mean it's fun. I guess it's it's fun. 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.640 It's fun looking at stars and ship But anyway, I 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:52.600 don't I didn't mean to take away from your personal 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:59.840 life experience to shit on astrology. What else? What else 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.119 do you? All right? Can I ask you this? What 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.399 have you taken away anything from this conversation that is 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:11.840 remotely positive. 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:24.159 That I should go to the gym and probably stop 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:36.200 thinking so negatively. That's good, but like, yeah, no, yeah, 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:37.040 yeah that's it. 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:39.159 Are you gonna get off at it? 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:44.520 Yeah? I'm not on it, like I bet. I still 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.560 don't understand where that came from. I was never on it. 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.440 Yeah, the whole thing. Well, I guess I just I hope, 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:54.640 I hope you're not like you don't. I know you're 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:59.359 all right. I'm gonna sound lame, but you're you're let 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.399 Your life is so precious. Why would you want to 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:04.520 give it away to be a stupid fucking dog? 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:05.639 You know? 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.159 By the way, okay, let me by the way, if 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:09.800 I can, just if I can do, if I can 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.320 tell you one final thing that would persuade you against 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:13.399 being a dog? Can I tell you this? 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:15.760 Hmm? 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:17.880 If you were what kind of dog would you want 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:18.040 to be? 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:26.000 Just real quick, I haven't thought about it that fucking much. 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.600 I don't fucking know a cool one. 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.359 If you were a dog. If you were a dog, 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:35.480 you would be dead as shit right now. There's no 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:36.680 twenty year old dog. 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:38.400 He'd be dead. 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:42.439 That is sick. 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:46.320 Wait, why so next time you see a dog, I 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:48.120 would just I just if we can get anything from 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:49.920 this conversation. I just wanted to be the next time 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:51.399 you see a dog. Instead of being like, oh I 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:54.760 wish I was a dog, just be like that dog's 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.080 a fucking loser. He has no idea how awesome it 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:00.400 is to be a human being, get high and play 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:01.760 video games and go to China. 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:06.159 That sounds so sad. 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:08.320 As I said, no. 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:10.520 I don't want to think about a dog like that. 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:14.639 Think about a dog like what, like that. 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:16.960 Dog is a loser. I don't think any dogs are 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:17.439 a loser. 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:26.399 Some dogs are. I mean, listen, I think I think you. 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.960 I think you have a cooler life than most dogs, 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.320 or at minimum, you have the potential to have a 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:35.560 cooler life than most dogs. 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.520 Okay, sure do. 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.960 You do you accept that ideology? 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.879 Yeah, but like I don't think a dog is a 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:53.159 loser like I don't. I just think dogs, like I 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.240 feel like they're just innocent little creatures. 0:19:55.720 --> 0:20:00.560 Innocent little creatures who contribute nothing to the economy or society. 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.239 I'm not gonna say the economy. 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:09.720 Because money is so real and important, but anywhere.

I mean, I'll say this cartoon, 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.400 dogs contribute to the economy because people there's a lot 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:33.080 of Family Guys shirts with Brian on them that people sell, 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:40.480 So I'll categorize that as dogs contributing to the economy.

There's my adult memories, 0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:59.119 my childhood into being six months old memories, and then 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:02.480 there's like a block of memories before that. And the 0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:05.080 only way that I can describe it is it sort 0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:08.200 of starts out with like this giant ring of light 0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:11.240 and there's something or somebody standing there and I'm standing 0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:14.080 there too, and then I start moving backwards, like along 0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:16.640 my life, watching all of the things that I've done 0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:18.600 from a different perspective and a different angle. 0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:19.480 Right, dude, you are. 0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:23.400
