1 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: Hey, and welcome to what Future. I'm your host, Josh Wazepolski. 2 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: And today I have to say I'm in an interesting 3 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: place mentally and physically. You know, physically it's not that interesting. 4 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: I'm at home, but mentally I'm traveling. I'm traveling through 5 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: the stars. Now I'm not actually doing that. I am 6 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: a little exhausted, you know, because I have been traveling. 7 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: And you know, when you go on a trip and 8 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: it's a long trip, and then you come back, no 9 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: one but you was on the trip. Everybody else was 10 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: where they were. When you come back home, you were 11 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: on this weird journey with all these strange people and 12 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: all of the people you know, like your family, like 13 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: my family for instance, or the people I work with 14 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: who didn't we're not traveling. It's just like life was 15 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: just going on normal, and so you're you may have 16 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: had a life changing experience. I didn't have a life 17 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,839 Speaker 1: changing experience, but one might have had a life changing 18 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: experience on their journey. And then you have to like 19 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: ear the back at the back in the office on 20 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: Monday or whatever. It's very straight hard to transition. In 21 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: my opinion, there should be a I think after a 22 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: trip there should be a period and you should get 23 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: like a few days of everybody leaves you alone so 24 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: you can re enter society like a if you've been 25 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: in prison. It's kind of like ease back into the 26 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 1: world of the non imprisoned. Anyhow, I'm not saying travel 27 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: is like being in prisoned. 28 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: But you just said it's like a halfway. 29 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: No, I didn't. Did I say that transitional? 30 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 2: No? 31 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: I mean I mean I'm saying you have to transition. 32 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying you should be given time to transition back 33 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: into the normal world, like if you go somewhere, especially 34 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: if it's far away and you're not there for like 35 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: you're not doing the same things you do all the time. 36 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I think, you know, maybe this is just 37 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: the oh, I need a vacation after the vacation. I 38 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: didn't take a vacation, but if I had, right, Like, 39 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: do you buffer when if you go on a trip, 40 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: do you buffer time afterwards to like return to your life, 41 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: because I think people should. 42 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: No, No, I don't mean you mean you add on 43 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: an extra day or you come back a day early. 44 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, you ad Yeah, I've never done it. 45 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: I mean it sounds incredible, but It's never been an 46 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: option in my life. 47 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: Right, No, it's not really an option for anybody. I'm 48 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: not saying you can. I mean I'm saying, like, you know, 49 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: I've cut trips short for the purpose of having a 50 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: day that isn't being on the trip. I mean, like, Okay, 51 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: that's enough. I got to go home so I can 52 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: like get back into the swing of like living of 53 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: normal life. But before I talk about my travels, which 54 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: I guess I have a little bit, there's something more 55 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: more pressing and more present that has occurred. So I 56 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: got rear ended. Did I tell you this? I've started 57 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: to tell you guys. By the way, when you say 58 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: I was rear ended, I feel like it does it 59 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: It's not immediate, like to everybody that you're talking about 60 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: the car. Is that just me? Look yeah, Like I 61 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: hear the words, I'm like, it takes me a second 62 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: to think about what that means. You know, rearended. It 63 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: doesn't sound like a car accident. Sounds like it kind 64 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: of sounds like a sex thing. To be honest, I 65 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: was rereended. It's like it's like that feels like a genre, 66 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: a porn hub, like a tag on corn hub. 67 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 2: I think you're the only one thinking that. 68 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: Nah, somebody else's thought it, believed me. None of these 69 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: thoughts are that original. None of them are that thought. 70 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: They haven't said it. 71 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: Well, that's why I'm getting paid the big bucks, so 72 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to say what's on everyone's mind. Rear 73 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: Ended sounds like a sex thing. Anyhow, I was rear 74 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: ended yesterday. I was sitting at a stop a stop 75 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: light and a light a red light. Do people call 76 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: red lights stop lights? Nobody calls with that, right, that's 77 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: not a phrase. Anyhow, I was sitting at a light 78 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: and a like, I don't know, I don't know. Maybe 79 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: I want to say two thousand and two Grand Cherokee 80 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: rear ended me. You know, it's funny because like I 81 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: heard the screech of the of the tires on the 82 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: it was it had been raining, but this person was 83 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: definitely going too fast. I heard the screech of the 84 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: tires and I was like, oh, that's a bad noise. 85 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: That doesn't sound good. But I didn't do anything, like, 86 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: I just sat there for a second. I mean, it 87 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: happened very quickly, but it was interesting because I'm like, 88 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: that is not a good sound. And then I got hit. 89 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: But you know it's funny about the Tesla is that 90 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: they have cameras everywhere, and the cameras are recording all 91 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: the time. So I have footage of the act accident, 92 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: which is interesting, and honestly that the Cherokee ends up 93 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: a lot worse than my car. My car actually has 94 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: no damage on it from what I can tell. There's 95 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: like a little scuff on the bumper, but the Cherokee's 96 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: bumper was like fully dented. 97 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 2: So can I ask you a question about how that works? Like, please, 98 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 2: do I see this? There's like baby monitors that are 99 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 2: always recording. 100 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: Yes, where does that go? 101 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 2: Like I mean if with Tesla's always recording, does it 102 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 2: erase him on the line? 103 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: It does erase? Yeah, it erased it. So there's there's 104 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: a little U SD card in the glove compartment which 105 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: I actually didn't even realize was there. But they have 106 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: this little SD card plugged into a USB port in 107 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: the glove compartment and it's recording some amount of footage, 108 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: like I had like an hour of driving footage from 109 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: that day. Now I went to check it. I was 110 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: going to show Zelda. I was telling her about it, 111 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: and this morning. I was as I was dropping her 112 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: off at her summer camp. I was like, you know, 113 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: I had this video of it, and then I went 114 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: to look for it and it's gone, like it has 115 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: been replaced by newer video. So I assume that there. 116 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: What's interesting is you would think the car they would 117 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: have at least enough of intelligence to go, hey, this car. 118 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: The car got hit by another car, so we should 119 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: keep that. Although I did save the video, so I 120 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 1: have it on my computer. I have the saved video 121 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: from all of the cameras as the accident happened with 122 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: the bummers. I don't have any of the video after it, 123 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: because there's some video of me walking around the car, 124 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: which I would like to check out, see how I look, 125 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, see how my pants are fitting, that kind 126 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: of stuff, But that's gone forever. I guess I'll just 127 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: have to do that right now. I'm gonna go walk 128 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: around my car just like casually, and then I can look. 129 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: I could review the footage anyhow, but then I also 130 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: have a new injury. I have a bad injury I 131 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: have I think it's called bresiitis in my elbow. I 132 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: don't know exactly how it happened. But it's very painful 133 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,559 Speaker 1: if I lean on my right elbow like on a chair, 134 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: or even like if I'm in bed and I prop 135 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: myself up to read or something. Doesn't happen all the time, 136 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: but a lot of the time. Now it is like 137 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: a level ten. You know the pain chart, You know 138 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: where they have the faces. Have you ever seen the 139 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: pain chart? Yeah, pain charts a good name for a band. Also, 140 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: like he did, for like a metal band. It's like 141 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: a ten on the pain chart. Ten is like as 142 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,559 Speaker 1: painful as anything can be. Of course, I'm also a man, 143 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: huge baby, so for me it's a ten. For a 144 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: normal person it's probably like a three. 145 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: But they say that men always register their pain is 146 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: higher on the scales than the women do. 147 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: Well. Men are, as we know, huge, huge babies and 148 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: have a low tolerance for pain and discomfort. I mean, 149 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: most of the world's problems, I imagine are because like 150 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: men didn't want to be uncomfortable or put out, or 151 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: like you know, they were angry about having their feelings 152 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: hurt or something like nine out of ten times, like 153 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: a war has started because some man was hurt by 154 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: another man. In all likelihood, huge babies of all of 155 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: us the whole set. You know, I'm broken down piece 156 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: of meat like Mickey Rourke from The Wrestler. I'm just 157 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: slowly deteriorating. 158 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 3: Hope. 159 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: My whole body is falling apart. You know, the car 160 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: got hit, my elbows fucked up. What's next? You know? 161 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: Are those things related? Probably not, but we can't rule 162 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: it out anyhow. I was in can which is how 163 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: I'm saying it, and I don't know if that's I 164 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: feel like that's how Americans say it. I don't know 165 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: if it's how everybody says it. Jenna, you speak French, right, No? 166 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 2: I speak Spanish, but I would say calm, but. 167 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: Larra, do you speak French? 168 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: I don't, and I would say can. 169 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: I felt very dumb there, of course, because I don't 170 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: speak I speak no French. I can make the sounds 171 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: if I know the word, but I don't really know 172 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: any words. By the way, I haven't been out of 173 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: the country for many, many years, obviously, and I had 174 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: to get a new passport. 175 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 2: I have to get a new passport too. 176 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: Well. Let me tell you you can get one quickly. 177 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: Do you know what the trick is? 178 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: No? What is it you? 179 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: Let's say you're a month away from travel. You need 180 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: a passport. Now, you need to get one. A month 181 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: away from your travel will take you seven to nine 182 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: weeks minimum to get one. Okay, But if you wait, 183 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: if you just wait till you're within fourteen days of travel, 184 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: you have booked a ticket, you have proof of that 185 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: you have to travel. There's no alternative. You stand to 186 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: lose a bunch of money because your ticket will be 187 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: useless because you won't be able to take your trip. 188 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: You can call a number and sometimes you get through 189 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: a number to the US Department of State or State Department, 190 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: some people refer to it, and they will maybe be 191 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: able to find you an appointment at a passport a 192 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: special kind of passport office. There are only a few 193 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: of them in America. And then they will maybe make 194 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: an appointment for you to go and get a passport. 195 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: They're like be here at ten o'clock. You're like, oh, okay, cool, 196 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: I have a passport an appointment to get my passport 197 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: that day. They will make you a passport. Okay, So 198 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: this cost one hundred and ninety dollars in fees, which 199 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: is fine, like whatever. Like if you're flying to another 200 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: country and you're going to lose all of your ticket 201 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: money or whatever, have your trip ruined. It's it's nothing. 202 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: But the ten o'clock appointment is not just for you. 203 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: The ten o'clock appointment is for everyone. Everybody got invited 204 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: to be there at ten o'clock and it is a 205 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: lot of people, and everybody needs a passport today, and 206 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: we're all in it together. I got into line, got 207 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: there at like nine thirty in the morning. I'm like, 208 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm early. I got into a line out the door 209 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: of the passport office, stretching down a sidewalk, across a drive, 210 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: a parking lot entrance. And you know, I made lifelong 211 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: friends that day. I met people and bonded with people 212 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: and experienced things with those people that you know, a 213 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 1: lot of people will never experience, a lot of other 214 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: people will never get to get to experience. And it 215 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: was a chaotic scene. They did give me a passport eventually, 216 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: but it was a very interesting experience. You really got 217 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: an he really gives you a taste of the government 218 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: and action and saying it's a bad system. But there's 219 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: definitely some things that could be improved about it, Like 220 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: there are a lot of things that could be improved 221 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: about it. 222 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 2: You're telling us about the Hunger Games and passport. 223 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was right. It was like the Hundred Games. 224 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 2: I was picturing you as Clive Owen and children of 225 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 2: men the whole time. 226 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: There was a very children of men vibe to a 227 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: lot of it, like you know a lot of like 228 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: people waiting in lines, hoping to make the cut for 229 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: something or whatever. So they run you through this process 230 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: and then they say come back. Now. It's interesting. Some people, 231 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: some people at the window said told people come back 232 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: here at one o'clock. Some people would like my person said, 233 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 1: you can pick it up between one and three, okay, 234 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: between one o'clock and three o'clock in the afternoon. So 235 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 1: I went home and then I came back. And when 236 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: I got back, things had gotten, Things had gotten a 237 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: little ugly, things had gotten. They gotten, They had gone 238 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: from okay to bad, and maybe we're traveling towards from 239 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: bad to worse. And there's a huge amount of people waiting, 240 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: and that the security guards there. I'm not security guards. 241 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: I guess there's some type of law enforcement. You know. 242 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: They were like yelling at people to you know, not 243 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: rush into line. And it doesn't matter because nope, You're 244 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: only going to get your passport when somebody calls your name. 245 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: And then they were telling people. They were like, I 246 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: saw somebody vaping. I don't know who thinks you can 247 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: vape in a government building. And you know, to be honest, 248 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: it never occurred to me you couldn't vape in a 249 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: government building. So you know, I put it away just kidding. Vaping, 250 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: I think, actually, can you even picture and me? Vaping 251 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: doesn't It doesn't compute mentally. The officer there was like, 252 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: I've never seen it this packed, I've never seen it 253 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: this crazy. I've never seen anything like this. We're just 254 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: totally overwhelmed. So we're going to take your they give 255 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: you a slip of paper to pick up your passport. 256 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: They're like, we're going to take your slips of paper 257 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: and we're going to take them upstairs, and then someone's 258 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: going to come down with whatever passports are ready and 259 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: are going to call people's names. And it sounded like 260 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: and I think what was the case is that they 261 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: had just created like an ad hoc system that they 262 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: had never done before or had rarely done, and so 263 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: it was like you have this little piece of paper 264 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: you just handed over. Then that's it. Like as far 265 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: as getting your passport, that's the only thing you can 266 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: use to pick it up. And then it goes to 267 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: upstairs into a mysterious room, and then a person comes down. 268 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: This woman comes down this uh, you know, not elderly 269 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 1: and she was a bit advanced in age. She comes down, 270 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: she's behind she's inside of a box, a plastic box 271 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: like where they check you in originally, and you know, 272 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: she starts just yelling people's names, but like there's no amplification. 273 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: She can't pronounce a lot of the names. It was like, 274 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: is this is this the end of the process, this 275 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: bureaucratic process. Is like this old woman in a box 276 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: is screaming a name she can't pronounce in the hopes 277 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: that the person happens to be a sitting there and 278 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: be here's it. Listen, Nothing tragic happened, but there was 279 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: just a lot of the tension in the room was palpable. Man. 280 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: What she called my name, It was like God himself 281 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: had come down from heaven and put me in a 282 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty six Rolls Royce and driven me to the 283 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: pearly gates. 284 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 2: That's what God does. 285 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I was trying to 286 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: think of what God would do if he came down 287 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: here to help, Like what's he doing. 288 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 2: I don't know, driving you around? 289 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: Apparently, you know, classic like Sistine Chapel. God with the beard. 290 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: He's got like a really nice like iridescent like the 291 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: color of the Rolls Royce, Like one of those classic 292 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: cars is the big swoopy wheels, and the color of 293 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: the car is like an iridescent purple. You know, it's 294 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: like you can't quite make out exactly what the color is. 295 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: And he will just take he can take you anywhere. 296 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: You know. That to me is like feels right. I 297 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: don't know if it's if it is right, you know, 298 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think God exists, but I think 299 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: if God did exist, that's the scene that would be 300 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: the vibe, right, that's the vibe like a kind of 301 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: Rick Rubin ish situation. Maybe. But I don't think Rick 302 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: Rubin even drives. He probably just is like he has 303 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: a guy who drives. He drives. He's like a guy 304 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: who like never wears shoes. I think it's just like 305 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: I think he's obviously a very important person and has 306 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: done some amazing things, but his vibe is like, I 307 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: don't know. I bet he's really annoying. I bet he 308 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: smells not any Rick Ruben on the podcast, I bet he. 309 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: It's like a guy who doesn't he use deodorant. He's 310 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: like deodoran his poison. That's what that's the vibe I 311 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: get from Rick Rubin. I'm not saying he's dirty. I'm 312 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: just saying he rejects things like deodorant and shoes. Not 313 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: a hippie way either. I think he's an incredibly materialistic 314 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: capitalist guy. But but I think there's just he's he's like, 315 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: you know, like one of these tech VC guys. Like 316 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: there is a story in the Wall Street Journal about 317 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: how all these that the vcs and there and the 318 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: founders are all like doing drugs now.

I guess like more off balls, like 410 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: the answer I would give because that is, you know, 411 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: but I don't know. Maybe I'm just saying that because 412 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: he's old. Maybe that's agism. 413 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 2: He had many wives, I know, I know. 414 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,719 Speaker 1: Well he had a lot of money. I think that 415 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: is very helpful. Maybe I'm just being agist, you know, 416 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: maybe he smelled great, Maybe he smelled like fucking you know, 417 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: uh jovon MOSKV. Is that do they still make that. 418 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: That's a that's a corner store cologne. Who do I 419 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: think smells good? Larsen? 420 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 3: Wow? 421 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: I don't know why she? 422 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 2: Why? 423 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: Why he? 424 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 2: Of all people? 425 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I don't know. She just popped 426 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: into my head. I'm trying to think of who else 427 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: might smell good. I have a very bad sense of smell, 428 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: so I kind of don't smell much of anything. I 429 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: generally assume most people smell fine. Like I'm not walking 430 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: around going like people all people stink or I'm concerned 431 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: about people how people smell. And I feel like I've 432 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: really dug a hole here with this Rick Ruben comment. 433 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't really think about it. I guess 434 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,719 Speaker 1: you know. My concern is more like do I smell? 435 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,239 Speaker 1: As you know, I'm very self centered and focused on 436 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: my own shit, and I'm like, you know, how do 437 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: I smell today? 438 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 2: Like? 439 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: Am I? Okay? That's the things like you never really 440 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: know what you smell? Like, you know, you have no 441 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: idea what you actually smell like you'll never know, You'll 442 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: never know. Does that? Do you find that maddening? 443 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 2: Yeah? 444 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: To think about, Like I'll get out of the shower, 445 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: I do my stuff or whatever. I'm thinking, Like, I 446 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: feel pretty fresh, I feel pretty clean. I feel like 447 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: I smell great. But like maybe it's too much, maybe 448 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: it's not enough. Maybe I stink for some reason I 449 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:43,959 Speaker 1: don't even know. 450 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 2: And when when you're pregnant, your bo actually changes, Oh, 451 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 2: it is very pungent. 452 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: It gets better or worse. 453 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 2: It gets way worse. That is the that's the trip. 454 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 2: When you smell your your bo that is now different 455 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 2: in the moors. 456 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: Eh, that does sound terrible. That sounds like a kind 457 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: of like a horror movie. But I mean a lot 458 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: of a lot of pregnancy is sort of like a 459 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: horror movie in my opinion. 460 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 2: No interesting, but they made a horror movie about it. 461 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: Well, no, I know that's I think more than one. 462 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I would say there's one. I mean, there's 463 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 2: like a new one, is what I mean. I asked 464 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 2: Kyle the other day if Alien was based off pregnancy, 465 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 2: and he said. 466 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,479 Speaker 1: No, Okay, he's wrong, Okay, he's fucking wrong. Actually, let 467 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: me tell you, because I could. I have read extensively. 468 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: There's a guy named Dan O'Bannon who wrote Who's a 469 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: really weird, interesting guy who has written and made a 470 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: lot of interesting science fiction. I believe he wrote or 471 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: co wrote the original Alien story. And and he said, 472 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 1: first off, the alien, the way the alien inseminates its host, 473 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: they wanted to reverse the rape thing. They wanted to 474 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: have like essentially like like male rape was the inspirit, 475 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: like the horror of rape, but applied to like not 476 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 1: a woman, you know, and obviously you know, other people 477 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: can be rape. But they had this idea that it 478 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: was like going to be as horrific as a rape. 479 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: And then I do think that the I do think 480 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 1: the chest bursting part of it is meant to be 481 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: uh yeah, like a pregnancy parallel, you know. I mean, 482 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: of course, I don't see how it couldn't be. The 483 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: entire thing is centered around like mothers and like and 484 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: like birth, and uh, I don't know. I don't know 485 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: what he's talking about. I think he's way off on 486 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: net with that answer. 487 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 3: I also flucked in, by the way, and totally challenged 488 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 3: that Alien is based off wasps or something xenomorphia or something. 489 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: No, that's wrong. That's like some idea that a child 490 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: would have about what Alien is about. But that's I 491 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: don't hear what he just said. No, it is it is, though, 492 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: because here I'm going to tell I'm going to read 493 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: to read your Dan O'Bannon production writing. I'm reading the 494 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: Wikipedia entry right now. Oh. Bannon described the sexual imagery 495 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: as overt and intentional. I'm going to put in every 496 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: image I can think of to make the men and 497 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: the audience cross their legs.

But yeah, people don't want to 551 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: see their movie. They don't want to see the Flash, 552 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: even though there's a Michael Keaton cameo where he plays Batman, 553 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: which I think is cool, like the only cool thing 554 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: these DC movies have done. Actually, I was just talking 555 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: to somebody about how how unbelievable the string of failures 556 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: the DC franchise. DC superhero movies have been, like just 557 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: like an unmitigated ongoing disaster, like every film is in 558 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 1: essence a bomb, Like I think they keep making them. 559 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: It's like I would just give up, just wait, I 560 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: just waited out. But luckily all the Superheroes does seems 561 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: to be coming to a close and we returned to 562 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: great filmmaking. We're gonna return to an age of daring 563 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: risk takers putting it all on the line to create 564 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: something new, some new art. Daring, daring risk takers like 565 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: Wes Anderson, who I just learned signed apparently signed the 566 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: Roman Plans key like support letter, and like a ton 567 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: of other people did too, like including David Lynch and 568 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 1: Michael Mann and all these you know. 569 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 2: There's there was like a I always think about David Lynch. 570 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: It's so weird, it's so odd to me. I would 571 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: just do nothing. Personally, if it were me, if somebody 572 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: was like, do you want to sign the Roman Polansky letter? 573 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: Even if I was like, I'm so pro Roman Plansky, 574 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: knowing what Roman Plansky did, I would be like, you 575 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 1: know what, I'm I'm actually very busy.

Very disappointing stuff, you know, 580 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 1: you know, really just kind of confusing as to why 581 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: you'd put your signature on that. I mean, if you 582 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: knew even a scoach, even a little bit of the details. Yeah, 583 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: like I don't know. I wouldn't sign it. Personally. 584 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: That's a strong stance, controversial. 585 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something about me. A lot of 586 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: people wouldn't say this, A lot of people wouldn't step up, 587 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: but I will.

I didn't even talk about my first off. 662 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: I was in can an incredible situation. Have you ever 663 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: been to Can beautiful place. 664 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 2: Oh. I looked at the pronunciation. 665 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 3: It's canon like eat like an American once they can, 666 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 3: and then French it's yeah can with a hard ket. 667 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: I think it's the same. Actually, I'm not sure there's 668 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: a difference, but I appreciate the French trying to tweak 669 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: it a little bit, trying to tweak it away from 670 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: the English pronunciation at any rate. So you know, I 671 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: was there for a conference, which is the worst reason 672 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: to go to Can, in my opinion. There's a big 673 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: media and advertising conference there called can Lyons or leon. 674 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: I guess I don't know how they would say it. 675 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: I was there only for about three days, three and 676 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: a half something like that, and I probably spent about 677 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: an entire day in travel, all told on one end 678 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: and the other, like like a day and a half 679 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: a day each way, the solidly twelve hours, if not 680 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: more so. Think about being the most beautiful place in 681 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: the world, with the greatest sort of amenities and luxuries 682 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: you could imagine. But what you're doing instead of enjoying 683 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: it is meeting ad executives that you could meet with 684 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: who are from New York and live in New York, 685 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: but are there, and so you know, that part was 686 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: not fun. But there was a lot of other stuff 687 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: that was fun and at least an interesting experience. But 688 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: my travel was insane because I flew connections. So I 689 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: first I flew from from New York to Frankfurt, Germany, 690 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: where I bought a German shepherd beanie baby for Zelda 691 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,359 Speaker 1: in Germany, which I thought was cool some reasons. That's 692 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: her favorite dog, and I don't have the heart to 693 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: tell her that that's the Nazi dog. You know, it's 694 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: like literally the Nazi dog. You know, there'll be a 695 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 1: time in a place when I can tell her the truth. 696 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 1: But she really likes German Shepherds. I think it's because 697 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: she's kind of a narc and a cop, Like, I mean, 698 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: she loves rules and she also like you know, kids 699 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: are early on or like basically, you know, they think 700 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: the police are pretty cool. I understand why, like, because 701 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: the police are presented as being really a great thing, 702 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: you know, like, oh no, they protect us and they 703 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: help us, and they you know though, if you're lost, 704 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: they'll tell you where to go. And like admittedly there 705 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: are some uses, right like to the police. I'm not 706 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: saying they're like again, I don't want to get into 707 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: a thing, I mean a B like yeah, I'm all, 708 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: you know, let's get let's get rid of them. But 709 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: I can understand how child would be like, that's a 710 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: cool idea. So she loves like she likes like rules 711 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: and stuff, and maybe the German shepherd things like because 712 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: it's a cop dog. I don't really know. 713 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 2: They're incredibly smart. By the way, my dog is part 714 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 2: German Shepherd. 715 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: So I take offense this okay, interesting. I would imagine 716 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: there are a lot of Jews that would not own 717 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 1: a German Shepherd, right, just. 718 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 2: Like Jews won't have a Mercedes. 719 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: Sure, that's what I'm saying. 720 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 2: Ridiculous. 721 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: Our generation probably not, but like the previous generations definitely had. 722 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: I get it. I mean it's like, you know, at 723 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,240 Speaker 1: any rate, I had a five hour, five hour layover 724 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: in Frankfurt Frankfort, and uh, I don't even know what 725 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: I did. I was in a fugue state. I took 726 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: a Xanax on the plane. As we took off from 727 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: a JFK, I had a couple of drinks, and for 728 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: the first time ever in my life ever, I fell asleep. 729 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,760 Speaker 1: And then I woke up and they're like, we're landing 730 00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: in an hour and a half. And it was like, 731 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: that's never happened to me on a plane ever. It 732 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: was amazing, Like, I see now how other people can 733 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: travel and what a fucking dream. Anyhow, so a lot 734 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 1: of travel, you know, did a lot of duty free 735 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 1: shopping in the five during the five hour layover. Yeah, 736 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: and then and then I was there for like three 737 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 1: three days. On the fourth day I went to the airport. 738 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: Then I flew to Zurich. And what's amazing about the 739 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: Zerk airport, and frankly about any airport, is first off, 740 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 1: it's like nine in the morning when I get there. Now, 741 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: the Zurich airport, because it's in Switzerland, there are watch 742 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: stores there, the greatest watch brands in the world, like 743 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 1: Rolex and Omega or is the British call it Omiga, 744 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: which is a crime and they should be put in 745 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: prison for it, and so all these like incredible schwat 746 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 1: they're open at nine in the morning, right, They're like, oh, 747 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 1: if I want to buy like a twenty five thousand 748 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 1: dollars Rolex at nine am, that's a done deal. But 749 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: there's a swat of course, there's a Swatch store, and 750 00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: the Swatch store had I don't know if you guys 751 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: know about this thing called a moon Swatch. Do you 752 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: know the Moon's watches? No, nobody knows what a Moon's watches? Right, 753 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,320 Speaker 1: So Swatch the biggest thing, the biggest story in watches 754 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 1: of the past, like I don't know, twenty fucking years 755 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 1: or maybe like since the Apple since the introduction of 756 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: the Apple Watch, the biggest story in watches has been 757 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: this thing called the moon Swatch, which is a collaboration 758 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: between Swatch, the affordable watchmaker, and Omega and they what 759 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,399 Speaker 1: they did was Swatch made like a plastic version of 760 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 1: this very famous and relatively expensive Omega watch called a 761 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: Moon's referred to as a Moonwatch. A version of it 762 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: was taken by the astronauts. A Speedmaster is the family 763 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: name of it. And this one's called the Moonwatch. It 764 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: was taken by like some of the astronauts on like 765 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 1: many emissions, like the Apollo missions and stuff. And there 766 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,720 Speaker 1: was actually a really cool one that has like Snoopy 767 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: on it, because like a Snoop there's like a Snoopy 768 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: astronaut character that was used for some like NASA stuff 769 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: and anyway, at any rate, it's a cool It's a 770 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: fucking cool, real like expensive watch. And then Swatch made 771 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: a version of it based on every planet in our 772 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: solar system and the Sun and moon. That is, like 773 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: they're different color ways and it looks it is exactly 774 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: in terms of its size, shape, functionality, is identical to 775 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: obviously different internals, identical to the Omega Watch, but it 776 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: is made out of like plastic, like Swatch makes all 777 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 1: their watches out of or some kind of like bio 778 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 1: material or whatever, and they're all in these really crazy colorways. 779 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: There's like a pink one, there's like a green one, 780 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: there's a yellow one. They're all for like the different 781 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,399 Speaker 1: planets and stuff. At any rate, you can't buy them. 782 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: People were like there were literally like riots outside of 783 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: Swatch stores because they made them available in like this 784 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: limited edition fashion and like you had to physically go 785 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 1: to a store to get one, and there was no 786 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 1: other way to get one. So like people sell them 787 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 1: like for way more than they're worth on eBay and 788 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: you can buy them on different watch sites at any rate. 789 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: I kind of, you know, vaguely, was like, oh, like 790 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: if I could get one, I would maybe get one, 791 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,760 Speaker 1: just because it's so novel. And you know, I'm fucking 792 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: looking through the Zurich airport at nine in the morning 793 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: and they just have them there. They're just sitting out. 794 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, you don't actually have these for sale, right, 795 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,439 Speaker 1: And the guy's like, yeah, I have all but two. 796 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 2: You know. 797 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: It's like kind of an amazing strange you know whatever, 798 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: it's fucking who cares? Is capitalism work? You know? I 799 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: don't need one, certainly, I have plenty of watches. It 800 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: was just an interesting way to like start that trip, 801 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: you know. So I had a bunch of gifts that 802 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 1: I brought back for Zelda and Laura, and I bought 803 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 1: myself a moon a moon swatch, because because why not, 804 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 1: Because if you can't get them anywhere else, I might 805 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: as well pick one up. You know. It's interesting though, 806 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,319 Speaker 1: I haven't taken that out of the box yet because 807 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: I don't wear a regular watch because I have an 808 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: Apple Watch, and that may change in the future. That's 809 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,760 Speaker 1: a story for another podcast. I think that's a story 810 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 1: for another day. But uh oh, I was gonna say, 811 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,920 Speaker 1: I didn't say this. It's the last thing I'll say. 812 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,399 Speaker 1: And maybe I've talked about it before. But I think 813 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: airports are so fucking cool and interesting because I definitely 814 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,280 Speaker 1: have talked about this before. You know, there's this theory, 815 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 1: this thing I believe, which was created by a writer 816 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: named Hakeembe called the temporary autonomous zone. The concept is 817 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: like a place that for a period of time or 818 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: in a specific location, is like a community that forms 819 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 1: with its own rules, its own laws, its own kind 820 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: of like way of existing, and then it can like dissipate. 821 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 1: And I think like airports are like a great example 822 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,240 Speaker 1: of a temporary autonomous zone, which is that, in my opinion, 823 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: like kind of an otherworldly like if you think about 824 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: what it is, it's a very otherworldly idea. Like in 825 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: an airport. An airport has its own rules, its own laws. 826 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: The people there, none of them are really besides people 827 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 1: that work there. All the people moving through it are 828 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 1: not really supposed to be there. They're going somewhere else. 829 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: And like there are things that are in a temporal sense, 830 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,319 Speaker 1: are not normal, like a Rolex store I typically isn't 831 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: open at nine in the morning. I'm like, oh, I'm 832 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 1: carrying these bags. I'm taking a plane to New York. 833 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: But also like if I just want to stop and 834 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 1: get buy a rolex like that can have happen, or 835 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,399 Speaker 1: like a huge bottle of alcohol. The it's all these 836 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: like weird things that happen there, you know, and then 837 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: there's a totally different set of rules about like what 838 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 1: you can do, like where you can be Like to 839 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: see someone sleeping on the floor. Normally you'd be like, 840 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 1: oh my god, like this is what's happened to this person, 841 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 1: or like oh, they're you know, they're homeless. But you know, 842 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: in an airport, people are just waiting. It's just interesting 843 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 1: and there's all these weird like things in airports that 844 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 1: would never exist anywhere else. Like in Frankfurt there was 845 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: like an indoor play area for children that was like 846 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: a miniature Luftanza plane with like a it had like 847 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 1: an emergency slide, but it was like a slide for children. 848 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,839 Speaker 1: There's just you know, there's in the middle of an 849 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 1: indoor space just sliding down this tiny liftans of emergency 850 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: you know, exit or whatever. It's just it's a strange thing, 851 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: strange place. It's kind of fun though in a way. 852 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 1: I mean, I might be am I the only person 853 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 1: who likes airports. Maybe I can't be the only person. 854 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: But I don't like traveling. I hate traveling. I like airports, 855 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: weird food, lots of different food choices. It's like a 856 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: it's like a mall, but like where there's way more 857 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,439 Speaker 1: danger of like you being arrested for something, like way 858 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:13,280 Speaker 1: higher levels of fear about being detained in a strange room. Yeah, 859 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,760 Speaker 1: Disneyland with the death penalty. As William Gibson famously wrote 860 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 1: for one of the early issues of Wired about Singapore, 861 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: did a big did a big expos about Singapore and 862 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 1: how it was like this like dream land of a 863 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,360 Speaker 1: place where that you know, you would be executed for 864 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: a spitting gum on the sidewalk or whatever. I don't 865 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,880 Speaker 1: know if they still do that, but big, good topic 866 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: for a show. Well, that is our show for this week, 867 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,320 Speaker 1: if you can believe it. It's all come to a close. 868 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: The journey that we've been taking together is ending, and 869 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 1: yet a new journey begins next week because we're gonna 870 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: have another show, which I think is great. I think 871 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 1: I'm excited about it, and I'm feeling refreshed and rejuvenated 872 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:06,879 Speaker 1: after my travels, and frankly, after this conversation, I want 873 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: to thank the listener for allowing me to bear my 874 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 1: soul and share my thoughts. I really do deeply appreciate 875 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 1: that you've spent this time with me. Man, this is 876 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,879 Speaker 1: a real finality to this sign office seems pretty dark, 877 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,240 Speaker 1: pretty heavy shit, but it's not really. I'm just tired, 878 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: just tired from traveling. Anyhow.
