Speaker 1: Hey, and welcome to what Future. I'm your host, Josh Wazepolski.
Speaker 1: And today I have to say I'm in an interesting
Speaker 1: place mentally and physically. You know, physically it's not that interesting.
Speaker 1: I'm at home, but mentally I'm traveling. I'm traveling through
Speaker 1: the stars. Now I'm not actually doing that. I am
Speaker 1: a little exhausted, you know, because I have been traveling.
Speaker 1: And you know, when you go on a trip and
Speaker 1: it's a long trip, and then you come back, no
Speaker 1: one but you was on the trip. Everybody else was
Speaker 1: where they were. When you come back home, you were
Speaker 1: on this weird journey with all these strange people and
Speaker 1: all of the people you know, like your family, like
Speaker 1: my family for instance, or the people I work with
Speaker 1: who didn't we're not traveling. It's just like life was
Speaker 1: just going on normal, and so you're you may have
Speaker 1: had a life changing experience. I didn't have a life
Speaker 1: changing experience, but one might have had a life changing
Speaker 1: experience on their journey. And then you have to like
Speaker 1: ear the back at the back in the office on
Speaker 1: Monday or whatever. It's very straight hard to transition. In
Speaker 1: my opinion, there should be a I think after a
Speaker 1: trip there should be a period and you should get
Speaker 1: like a few days of everybody leaves you alone so
Speaker 1: you can re enter society like a if you've been
Speaker 1: in prison. It's kind of like ease back into the
Speaker 1: world of the non imprisoned. Anyhow, I'm not saying travel
Speaker 1: is like being in prisoned.
Speaker 2: But you just said it's like a halfway.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't. Did I say that transitional?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I mean I mean I'm saying you have to transition.
Speaker 1: I'm saying you should be given time to transition back
Speaker 1: into the normal world, like if you go somewhere, especially
Speaker 1: if it's far away and you're not there for like
Speaker 1: you're not doing the same things you do all the time.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, you know, maybe this is just
Speaker 1: the oh, I need a vacation after the vacation. I
Speaker 1: didn't take a vacation, but if I had, right, Like,
Speaker 1: do you buffer when if you go on a trip,
Speaker 1: do you buffer time afterwards to like return to your life,
Speaker 1: because I think people should.
Speaker 2: No, No, I don't mean you mean you add on
Speaker 2: an extra day or you come back a day early.
Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, you ad Yeah, I've never done it.
Speaker 2: I mean it sounds incredible, but It's never been an
Speaker 2: option in my life.
Speaker 1: Right, No, it's not really an option for anybody. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying you can. I mean I'm saying, like, you know,
Speaker 1: I've cut trips short for the purpose of having a
Speaker 1: day that isn't being on the trip. I mean, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's enough. I got to go home so I can
Speaker 1: like get back into the swing of like living of
Speaker 1: normal life. But before I talk about my travels, which
Speaker 1: I guess I have a little bit, there's something more
Speaker 1: more pressing and more present that has occurred. So I
Speaker 1: got rear ended. Did I tell you this? I've started
Speaker 1: to tell you guys. By the way, when you say
Speaker 1: I was rear ended, I feel like it does it
Speaker 1: It's not immediate, like to everybody that you're talking about
Speaker 1: the car. Is that just me? Look yeah, Like I
Speaker 1: hear the words, I'm like, it takes me a second
Speaker 1: to think about what that means. You know, rearended. It
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like a car accident. Sounds like it kind
Speaker 1: of sounds like a sex thing. To be honest, I
Speaker 1: was rereended. It's like it's like that feels like a genre,
Speaker 1: a porn hub, like a tag on corn hub.
Speaker 2: I think you're the only one thinking that.
Speaker 1: Nah, somebody else's thought it, believed me. None of these
Speaker 1: thoughts are that original. None of them are that thought.
Speaker 2: They haven't said it.
Speaker 1: Well, that's why I'm getting paid the big bucks, so
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to say what's on everyone's mind. Rear
Speaker 1: Ended sounds like a sex thing. Anyhow, I was rear
Speaker 1: ended yesterday. I was sitting at a stop a stop
Speaker 1: light and a light a red light. Do people call
Speaker 1: red lights stop lights? Nobody calls with that, right, that's
Speaker 1: not a phrase. Anyhow, I was sitting at a light
Speaker 1: and a like, I don't know, I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: I want to say two thousand and two Grand Cherokee
Speaker 1: rear ended me. You know, it's funny because like I
Speaker 1: heard the screech of the of the tires on the
Speaker 1: it was it had been raining, but this person was
Speaker 1: definitely going too fast. I heard the screech of the
Speaker 1: tires and I was like, oh, that's a bad noise.
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound good. But I didn't do anything, like,
Speaker 1: I just sat there for a second. I mean, it
Speaker 1: happened very quickly, but it was interesting because I'm like,
Speaker 1: that is not a good sound. And then I got hit.
Speaker 1: But you know it's funny about the Tesla is that
Speaker 1: they have cameras everywhere, and the cameras are recording all
Speaker 1: the time. So I have footage of the act accident,
Speaker 1: which is interesting, and honestly that the Cherokee ends up
Speaker 1: a lot worse than my car. My car actually has
Speaker 1: no damage on it from what I can tell. There's
Speaker 1: like a little scuff on the bumper, but the Cherokee's
Speaker 1: bumper was like fully dented.
Speaker 2: So can I ask you a question about how that works? Like, please,
Speaker 2: do I see this? There's like baby monitors that are
Speaker 2: always recording.
Speaker 1: Yes, where does that go?
Speaker 2: Like I mean if with Tesla's always recording, does it
Speaker 2: erase him on the line?
Speaker 1: It does erase? Yeah, it erased it. So there's there's
Speaker 1: a little U SD card in the glove compartment which
Speaker 1: I actually didn't even realize was there. But they have
Speaker 1: this little SD card plugged into a USB port in
Speaker 1: the glove compartment and it's recording some amount of footage,
Speaker 1: like I had like an hour of driving footage from
Speaker 1: that day. Now I went to check it. I was
Speaker 1: going to show Zelda. I was telling her about it,
Speaker 1: and this morning. I was as I was dropping her
Speaker 1: off at her summer camp. I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I had this video of it, and then I went
Speaker 1: to look for it and it's gone, like it has
Speaker 1: been replaced by newer video. So I assume that there.
Speaker 1: What's interesting is you would think the car they would
Speaker 1: have at least enough of intelligence to go, hey, this car.
Speaker 1: The car got hit by another car, so we should
Speaker 1: keep that. Although I did save the video, so I
Speaker 1: have it on my computer. I have the saved video
Speaker 1: from all of the cameras as the accident happened with
Speaker 1: the bummers. I don't have any of the video after it,
Speaker 1: because there's some video of me walking around the car,
Speaker 1: which I would like to check out, see how I look,
Speaker 1: you know, see how my pants are fitting, that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff, But that's gone forever. I guess I'll just
Speaker 1: have to do that right now. I'm gonna go walk
Speaker 1: around my car just like casually, and then I can look.
Speaker 1: I could review the footage anyhow, but then I also
Speaker 1: have a new injury. I have a bad injury I
Speaker 1: have I think it's called bresiitis in my elbow. I
Speaker 1: don't know exactly how it happened. But it's very painful
Speaker 1: if I lean on my right elbow like on a chair,
Speaker 1: or even like if I'm in bed and I prop
Speaker 1: myself up to read or something. Doesn't happen all the time,
Speaker 1: but a lot of the time. Now it is like
Speaker 1: a level ten. You know the pain chart, You know
Speaker 1: where they have the faces. Have you ever seen the
Speaker 1: pain chart? Yeah, pain charts a good name for a band. Also,
Speaker 1: like he did, for like a metal band. It's like
Speaker 1: a ten on the pain chart. Ten is like as
Speaker 1: painful as anything can be. Of course, I'm also a man,
Speaker 1: huge baby, so for me it's a ten. For a
Speaker 1: normal person it's probably like a three.
Speaker 2: But they say that men always register their pain is
Speaker 2: higher on the scales than the women do.
Speaker 1: Well. Men are, as we know, huge, huge babies and
Speaker 1: have a low tolerance for pain and discomfort. I mean,
Speaker 1: most of the world's problems, I imagine are because like
Speaker 1: men didn't want to be uncomfortable or put out, or
Speaker 1: like you know, they were angry about having their feelings
Speaker 1: hurt or something like nine out of ten times, like
Speaker 1: a war has started because some man was hurt by
Speaker 1: another man. In all likelihood, huge babies of all of
Speaker 1: us the whole set. You know, I'm broken down piece
Speaker 1: of meat like Mickey Rourke from The Wrestler. I'm just
Speaker 1: slowly deteriorating.
Speaker 3: Hope.
Speaker 1: My whole body is falling apart. You know, the car
Speaker 1: got hit, my elbows fucked up. What's next? You know?
Speaker 1: Are those things related? Probably not, but we can't rule
Speaker 1: it out anyhow. I was in can which is how
Speaker 1: I'm saying it, and I don't know if that's I
Speaker 1: feel like that's how Americans say it. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's how everybody says it. Jenna, you speak French, right, No?
Speaker 2: I speak Spanish, but I would say calm, but.
Speaker 1: Larra, do you speak French?
Speaker 2: I don't, and I would say can.
Speaker 1: I felt very dumb there, of course, because I don't
Speaker 1: speak I speak no French. I can make the sounds
Speaker 1: if I know the word, but I don't really know
Speaker 1: any words. By the way, I haven't been out of
Speaker 1: the country for many, many years, obviously, and I had
Speaker 1: to get a new passport.
Speaker 2: I have to get a new passport too.
Speaker 1: Well. Let me tell you you can get one quickly.
Speaker 1: Do you know what the trick is?
Speaker 2: No? What is it you?
Speaker 1: Let's say you're a month away from travel. You need
Speaker 1: a passport. Now, you need to get one. A month
Speaker 1: away from your travel will take you seven to nine
Speaker 1: weeks minimum to get one. Okay, But if you wait,
Speaker 1: if you just wait till you're within fourteen days of travel,
Speaker 1: you have booked a ticket, you have proof of that
Speaker 1: you have to travel. There's no alternative. You stand to
Speaker 1: lose a bunch of money because your ticket will be
Speaker 1: useless because you won't be able to take your trip.
Speaker 1: You can call a number and sometimes you get through
Speaker 1: a number to the US Department of State or State Department,
Speaker 1: some people refer to it, and they will maybe be
Speaker 1: able to find you an appointment at a passport a
Speaker 1: special kind of passport office. There are only a few
Speaker 1: of them in America. And then they will maybe make
Speaker 1: an appointment for you to go and get a passport.
Speaker 1: They're like be here at ten o'clock. You're like, oh, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: I have a passport an appointment to get my passport
Speaker 1: that day. They will make you a passport. Okay, So
Speaker 1: this cost one hundred and ninety dollars in fees, which
Speaker 1: is fine, like whatever. Like if you're flying to another
Speaker 1: country and you're going to lose all of your ticket
Speaker 1: money or whatever, have your trip ruined. It's it's nothing.
Speaker 1: But the ten o'clock appointment is not just for you.
Speaker 1: The ten o'clock appointment is for everyone. Everybody got invited
Speaker 1: to be there at ten o'clock and it is a
Speaker 1: lot of people, and everybody needs a passport today, and
Speaker 1: we're all in it together. I got into line, got
Speaker 1: there at like nine thirty in the morning. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm early. I got into a line out the door
Speaker 1: of the passport office, stretching down a sidewalk, across a drive,
Speaker 1: a parking lot entrance. And you know, I made lifelong
Speaker 1: friends that day. I met people and bonded with people
Speaker 1: and experienced things with those people that you know, a
Speaker 1: lot of people will never experience, a lot of other
Speaker 1: people will never get to get to experience. And it
Speaker 1: was a chaotic scene. They did give me a passport eventually,
Speaker 1: but it was a very interesting experience. You really got
Speaker 1: an he really gives you a taste of the government
Speaker 1: and action and saying it's a bad system. But there's
Speaker 1: definitely some things that could be improved about it, Like
Speaker 1: there are a lot of things that could be improved
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: You're telling us about the Hunger Games and passport.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was right. It was like the Hundred Games.
Speaker 2: I was picturing you as Clive Owen and children of
Speaker 2: men the whole time.
Speaker 1: There was a very children of men vibe to a
Speaker 1: lot of it, like you know a lot of like
Speaker 1: people waiting in lines, hoping to make the cut for
Speaker 1: something or whatever. So they run you through this process
Speaker 1: and then they say come back. Now. It's interesting. Some people,
Speaker 1: some people at the window said told people come back
Speaker 1: here at one o'clock. Some people would like my person said,
Speaker 1: you can pick it up between one and three, okay,
Speaker 1: between one o'clock and three o'clock in the afternoon. So
Speaker 1: I went home and then I came back. And when
Speaker 1: I got back, things had gotten, Things had gotten a
Speaker 1: little ugly, things had gotten. They gotten, They had gone
Speaker 1: from okay to bad, and maybe we're traveling towards from
Speaker 1: bad to worse. And there's a huge amount of people waiting,
Speaker 1: and that the security guards there. I'm not security guards.
Speaker 1: I guess there's some type of law enforcement. You know.
Speaker 1: They were like yelling at people to you know, not
Speaker 1: rush into line. And it doesn't matter because nope, You're
Speaker 1: only going to get your passport when somebody calls your name.
Speaker 1: And then they were telling people. They were like, I
Speaker 1: saw somebody vaping. I don't know who thinks you can
Speaker 1: vape in a government building. And you know, to be honest,
Speaker 1: it never occurred to me you couldn't vape in a
Speaker 1: government building. So you know, I put it away just kidding. Vaping,
Speaker 1: I think, actually, can you even picture and me? Vaping
Speaker 1: doesn't It doesn't compute mentally. The officer there was like,
Speaker 1: I've never seen it this packed, I've never seen it
Speaker 1: this crazy. I've never seen anything like this. We're just
Speaker 1: totally overwhelmed. So we're going to take your they give
Speaker 1: you a slip of paper to pick up your passport.
Speaker 1: They're like, we're going to take your slips of paper
Speaker 1: and we're going to take them upstairs, and then someone's
Speaker 1: going to come down with whatever passports are ready and
Speaker 1: are going to call people's names. And it sounded like
Speaker 1: and I think what was the case is that they
Speaker 1: had just created like an ad hoc system that they
Speaker 1: had never done before or had rarely done, and so
Speaker 1: it was like you have this little piece of paper
Speaker 1: you just handed over. Then that's it. Like as far
Speaker 1: as getting your passport, that's the only thing you can
Speaker 1: use to pick it up. And then it goes to
Speaker 1: upstairs into a mysterious room, and then a person comes down.
Speaker 1: This woman comes down this uh, you know, not elderly
Speaker 1: and she was a bit advanced in age. She comes down,
Speaker 1: she's behind she's inside of a box, a plastic box
Speaker 1: like where they check you in originally, and you know,
Speaker 1: she starts just yelling people's names, but like there's no amplification.
Speaker 1: She can't pronounce a lot of the names. It was like,
Speaker 1: is this is this the end of the process, this
Speaker 1: bureaucratic process. Is like this old woman in a box
Speaker 1: is screaming a name she can't pronounce in the hopes
Speaker 1: that the person happens to be a sitting there and
Speaker 1: be here's it. Listen, Nothing tragic happened, but there was
Speaker 1: just a lot of the tension in the room was palpable. Man.
Speaker 1: What she called my name, It was like God himself
Speaker 1: had come down from heaven and put me in a
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty six Rolls Royce and driven me to the
Speaker 1: pearly gates.
Speaker 2: That's what God does.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I was trying to
Speaker 1: think of what God would do if he came down
Speaker 1: here to help, Like what's he doing.
Speaker 2: I don't know, driving you around?
Speaker 1: Apparently, you know, classic like Sistine Chapel. God with the beard.
Speaker 1: He's got like a really nice like iridescent like the
Speaker 1: color of the Rolls Royce, Like one of those classic
Speaker 1: cars is the big swoopy wheels, and the color of
Speaker 1: the car is like an iridescent purple. You know, it's
Speaker 1: like you can't quite make out exactly what the color is.
Speaker 1: And he will just take he can take you anywhere.
Speaker 1: You know. That to me is like feels right. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's if it is right, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think God exists, but I think
Speaker 1: if God did exist, that's the scene that would be
Speaker 1: the vibe, right, that's the vibe like a kind of
Speaker 1: Rick Rubin ish situation. Maybe. But I don't think Rick
Speaker 1: Rubin even drives. He probably just is like he has
Speaker 1: a guy who drives. He drives. He's like a guy
Speaker 1: who like never wears shoes. I think it's just like
Speaker 1: I think he's obviously a very important person and has
Speaker 1: done some amazing things, but his vibe is like, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I bet he's really annoying. I bet he
Speaker 1: smells not any Rick Ruben on the podcast, I bet he.
Speaker 1: It's like a guy who doesn't he use deodorant. He's
Speaker 1: like deodoran his poison. That's what that's the vibe I
Speaker 1: get from Rick Rubin. I'm not saying he's dirty. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying he rejects things like deodorant and shoes. Not
Speaker 1: a hippie way either. I think he's an incredibly materialistic
Speaker 1: capitalist guy. But but I think there's just he's he's like,
Speaker 1: you know, like one of these tech VC guys. Like
Speaker 1: there is a story in the Wall Street Journal about
Speaker 1: how all these that the vcs and there and the
Speaker 1: founders are all like doing drugs now. They're all like
Speaker 1: micro dosing or like doing ketamine or whatever. And it's
Speaker 1: just like it helps me, like you know, come up
Speaker 1: with solutions to complicate problems or whatever. And it's like, no,
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It makes you high, which is fun, and
Speaker 1: that is it. Like I don't believe for a second
Speaker 1: that it's like you're the next breakthrough is going to
Speaker 1: happen because you're fucking micro dosing or whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't think people get professional breakthroughs from micro dosing,
Speaker 2: but I do think that people have personal breakthroughs for
Speaker 2: micro doess.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm talking about the therapeutic uses of of LSD.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about guys who are like, this helps me,
Speaker 1: you know, figure out how to do the layoffs or whatever.
Speaker 1: You know, Like that's you know, like I would, I
Speaker 1: have to do it difficult? What I have to do,
Speaker 1: A difficult calling of the staff. I like snort a
Speaker 1: little ketamine which takes the edge off.
Speaker 2: The Silicon Valley guy who invents the public bus.
Speaker 1: That's what I associated, right, we No, It's like it's
Speaker 1: like Ela Musk inventing like a kind of a way
Speaker 1: worse subway. He's like invented a tunnel, you know, like literally,
Speaker 1: and he was probably fucking high. And and if the
Speaker 1: people who give him money to do things are are
Speaker 1: also high, it's a bad It's a bad combination. It
Speaker 1: explains a lot, though, I think like it explains a
Speaker 1: lot about what's going on in Silicon Valley at the moment,
Speaker 1: you know, it sort of explains even things like the
Speaker 1: apple of virtual reality headset, all all that stuff like
Speaker 1: metaverse and fucking it's just all it's such, it's such
Speaker 1: like a fantasy. It's such a strange fantasy that everyone
Speaker 1: out there seems to be having that it's just so
Speaker 1: completely detached and out of touch from like meaningful reality.
Speaker 1: And then I say, this is a guy who would
Speaker 1: love to just zap himself into a virtual reality situation
Speaker 1: and never come back. I don't know anyhow, So how
Speaker 1: do they give on the topic of drugs.
Speaker 3: About smelling bad, which, which, by the way, made me
Speaker 3: think about how my mom.
Speaker 2: Used to say she always was sure that Larry King
Speaker 2: smelled bad.
Speaker 1: Larry King looks like he smells like mothballs. He looks
Speaker 1: like he smells like he just got the suspenders out
Speaker 1: of old like one of those old sup brown leather
Speaker 1: suitcases with the little flippy things that open it up,
Speaker 1: and inside of it were a whole bunch of suspenders and mothballs,
Speaker 1: you know. But you know, rest in peace.
Speaker 2: I feel like mixed with like a bag of farts.
Speaker 2: There's something like old.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he looked dry to me, though he just
Speaker 1: generally looked dry, you know, like, and I associate dried
Speaker 1: dryness with the mothballs. I yes, I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I guess mothballs aren't really there
Speaker 1: for keeping things dry. I haven't smelled a mothball in
Speaker 1: a while. Actually, people don't do that anymore.
Speaker 2: I have them because we have moths, so I have
Speaker 2: them in my.
Speaker 1: Okay, you have mothballs like hany ones, you know that,
Speaker 1: like they're hangars.
Speaker 2: Okay, but I don't want my clothes to be eaten.
Speaker 1: So oh well, god, I mean that's not that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: The moths don't eat clothes. This is like an old
Speaker 1: wives tale. That's actually is that sexis to say it's
Speaker 1: an old person's tail.
Speaker 2: I think it takes like a very very long time.
Speaker 1: I think it's like I was on the Santa Maria,
Speaker 1: you know, and I had my fucking cask full of clothing,
Speaker 1: and like the moths got in there, like to my
Speaker 1: they got onto my tunics. Is this a real problem?
Speaker 1: It feels like not a real problem.
Speaker 2: Go back to Larry King and his smell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Larry King, No, I don't know he made didn't
Speaker 1: smell that good. I feel bad for saying the record
Speaker 1: looks like he stinks, But you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know he probably does. I know, I've known
Speaker 1: a lot of guys in the music world that have
Speaker 1: a similar vibe. I guess, and yeah, you know, they're
Speaker 1: just kind of like, no, you know, I reject things.
Speaker 2: Like who do you think smells good?
Speaker 1: What do I think smells good?
Speaker 2: No? Who do you think smells good that you've never met?
Speaker 1: Oh, that's an interesting question. That's an interesting question men
Speaker 1: or women? Or do we do we care?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Is it do we want to go? Is there anything
Speaker 1: any gender preference here?
Speaker 2: I mean, you did just slander two men.
Speaker 1: Well I didn't actual see my Larry King was based
Speaker 1: off of Jenna saying that's something.
Speaker 2: That's my opinion him smelling bad.
Speaker 1: But if you ask me, what do you think Larry
Speaker 1: King smells like? I guess like more off balls, like
Speaker 1: the answer I would give because that is, you know,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Maybe I'm just saying that because
Speaker 1: he's old. Maybe that's agism.
Speaker 2: He had many wives, I know, I know.
Speaker 1: Well he had a lot of money. I think that
Speaker 1: is very helpful. Maybe I'm just being agist, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe he smelled great, Maybe he smelled like fucking you know,
Speaker 1: uh jovon MOSKV. Is that do they still make that.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a corner store cologne. Who do I
Speaker 1: think smells good? Larsen?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 1: I don't know why she?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 1: Why he?
Speaker 2: Of all people?
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I don't know. She just popped
Speaker 1: into my head. I'm trying to think of who else
Speaker 1: might smell good. I have a very bad sense of smell,
Speaker 1: so I kind of don't smell much of anything. I
Speaker 1: generally assume most people smell fine. Like I'm not walking
Speaker 1: around going like people all people stink or I'm concerned
Speaker 1: about people how people smell. And I feel like I've
Speaker 1: really dug a hole here with this Rick Ruben comment.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't really think about it. I guess
Speaker 1: you know. My concern is more like do I smell?
Speaker 1: As you know, I'm very self centered and focused on
Speaker 1: my own shit, and I'm like, you know, how do
Speaker 1: I smell today?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Am I? Okay? That's the things like you never really
Speaker 1: know what you smell? Like, you know, you have no
Speaker 1: idea what you actually smell like you'll never know, You'll
Speaker 1: never know. Does that? Do you find that maddening?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: To think about, Like I'll get out of the shower,
Speaker 1: I do my stuff or whatever. I'm thinking, Like, I
Speaker 1: feel pretty fresh, I feel pretty clean. I feel like
Speaker 1: I smell great. But like maybe it's too much, maybe
Speaker 1: it's not enough. Maybe I stink for some reason I
Speaker 1: don't even know.
Speaker 2: And when when you're pregnant, your bo actually changes, Oh,
Speaker 2: it is very pungent.
Speaker 1: It gets better or worse.
Speaker 2: It gets way worse. That is the that's the trip.
Speaker 2: When you smell your your bo that is now different
Speaker 2: in the moors.
Speaker 1: Eh, that does sound terrible. That sounds like a kind
Speaker 1: of like a horror movie. But I mean a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of pregnancy is sort of like a
Speaker 1: horror movie in my opinion.
Speaker 2: No interesting, but they made a horror movie about it.
Speaker 1: Well, no, I know that's I think more than one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I would say there's one. I mean, there's
Speaker 2: like a new one, is what I mean. I asked
Speaker 2: Kyle the other day if Alien was based off pregnancy,
Speaker 2: and he said.
Speaker 1: No, Okay, he's wrong, Okay, he's fucking wrong. Actually, let
Speaker 1: me tell you, because I could. I have read extensively.
Speaker 1: There's a guy named Dan O'Bannon who wrote Who's a
Speaker 1: really weird, interesting guy who has written and made a
Speaker 1: lot of interesting science fiction. I believe he wrote or
Speaker 1: co wrote the original Alien story. And and he said,
Speaker 1: first off, the alien, the way the alien inseminates its host,
Speaker 1: they wanted to reverse the rape thing. They wanted to
Speaker 1: have like essentially like like male rape was the inspirit,
Speaker 1: like the horror of rape, but applied to like not
Speaker 1: a woman, you know, and obviously you know, other people
Speaker 1: can be rape. But they had this idea that it
Speaker 1: was like going to be as horrific as a rape.
Speaker 1: And then I do think that the I do think
Speaker 1: the chest bursting part of it is meant to be
Speaker 1: uh yeah, like a pregnancy parallel, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: of course, I don't see how it couldn't be. The
Speaker 1: entire thing is centered around like mothers and like and
Speaker 1: like birth, and uh, I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: what he's talking about. I think he's way off on
Speaker 1: net with that answer.
Speaker 3: I also flucked in, by the way, and totally challenged
Speaker 3: that Alien is based off wasps or something xenomorphia or something.
Speaker 1: No, that's wrong. That's like some idea that a child
Speaker 1: would have about what Alien is about. But that's I
Speaker 1: don't hear what he just said. No, it is it is, though,
Speaker 1: because here I'm going to tell I'm going to read
Speaker 1: to read your Dan O'Bannon production writing. I'm reading the
Speaker 1: Wikipedia entry right now. Oh. Bannon described the sexual imagery
Speaker 1: as overt and intentional. I'm going to put in every
Speaker 1: image I can think of to make the men and
Speaker 1: the audience cross their legs. Homosexual, oral rape, birth, the
Speaker 1: thing lays its eggs down your throat, the whole number.
Speaker 1: That's the guy who created the story for Alien Speaking. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I don't know about the wasp stuff. Sounds like
Speaker 1: Dan O'Bannon had some other ideas about what it meant.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a ten on the pain.
Speaker 1: Scal Wow, good callback, Thank you dude. It is a
Speaker 1: ten on the pains. Guess a lot like my elbow versidas.
Speaker 1: It's very similar actually in a lot of ways. At
Speaker 1: any rate, I was actually talking to some of my
Speaker 1: coworkers today about the box office situation. It's very bad
Speaker 1: situation out there for blockbusters. The superhero fatigue has set in.
Speaker 1: People don't want to see the Flash starring Ezra Miller.
Speaker 2: That person that I thought was in.
Speaker 1: Jail, Ezra Miller. That's his name, right, I thought.
Speaker 2: Azra Miller was in jail this whole time until the
Speaker 2: press start coming out.
Speaker 1: Ezra Miller has been accused of some some very mysterious
Speaker 1: and not good sounding stuff. And you know, it was
Speaker 1: sort of feeling canceled ish, and then they're like, now
Speaker 1: we're gonna but you know, we made this movie with him,
Speaker 1: so with them, sorry, and so we got to do it.
Speaker 2: Wasn't there kidnapping involved?
Speaker 1: They apparently kidnapped. I mean, this is the accusation. I
Speaker 1: have no idea what the real story is, to be honest,
Speaker 1: I haven't looked that much into it because it sounded
Speaker 1: depressing and bad and I can only engage with so
Speaker 1: much bad news at a time. But yeah, they like
Speaker 1: kidnapped some underage I guess. I guess you can kidnap
Speaker 1: a non underage person, although it's kind of right there
Speaker 1: in the name. I feel like they should. Is there
Speaker 1: a different word for when you when you kidnap an adult?
Speaker 1: Is there a different word?
Speaker 3: This is?
Speaker 2: Ezra Miller officially apologizes for kidnapping girl.
Speaker 1: Hey, we've all been there.
Speaker 2: There's nothing alleged here.
Speaker 1: We've all had to issue an apology for doing a
Speaker 1: kidnapping of a youth. I mean, who hasn't Who amongst
Speaker 1: us hasn't issued a formal apology for doing a crime.
Speaker 2: Okay, but let me read this to you. Okay, please
Speaker 2: do After receiving a felony for burglary in men oh okay,
Speaker 2: Ezra Miller was accused of brainwashing and grooming a teenage
Speaker 2: girl and exploiting other children.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: Now, the actor is attempting to salvage the situation by
Speaker 2: sharing an apology.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if that gets you see
Speaker 1: all the way there, if all those accusations are are true,
Speaker 1: I think, or all that behavior.
Speaker 2: Publicist wrote an apology.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, it's sometimes saying I'm sorry it
Speaker 1: goes a long way, you know, sometimes it can just
Speaker 1: erase a horrendous crime. But yeah, people don't want to
Speaker 1: see their movie. They don't want to see the Flash,
Speaker 1: even though there's a Michael Keaton cameo where he plays Batman,
Speaker 1: which I think is cool, like the only cool thing
Speaker 1: these DC movies have done. Actually, I was just talking
Speaker 1: to somebody about how how unbelievable the string of failures
Speaker 1: the DC franchise. DC superhero movies have been, like just
Speaker 1: like an unmitigated ongoing disaster, like every film is in
Speaker 1: essence a bomb, Like I think they keep making them.
Speaker 1: It's like I would just give up, just wait, I
Speaker 1: just waited out. But luckily all the Superheroes does seems
Speaker 1: to be coming to a close and we returned to
Speaker 1: great filmmaking. We're gonna return to an age of daring
Speaker 1: risk takers putting it all on the line to create
Speaker 1: something new, some new art. Daring, daring risk takers like
Speaker 1: Wes Anderson, who I just learned signed apparently signed the
Speaker 1: Roman Plans key like support letter, and like a ton
Speaker 1: of other people did too, like including David Lynch and
Speaker 1: Michael Mann and all these you know.
Speaker 2: There's there was like a I always think about David Lynch.
Speaker 1: It's so weird, it's so odd to me. I would
Speaker 1: just do nothing. Personally, if it were me, if somebody
Speaker 1: was like, do you want to sign the Roman Polansky letter?
Speaker 1: Even if I was like, I'm so pro Roman Plansky,
Speaker 1: knowing what Roman Plansky did, I would be like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm I'm actually very busy. I don't have
Speaker 1: time to do add my stag trick to that. But
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, you know, like you're not gonna
Speaker 1: get ostracized for not signing the letter. You know, a
Speaker 1: very strange Michael Mann signed it. Very disappointing stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, really just kind of confusing as to why
Speaker 1: you'd put your signature on that. I mean, if you
Speaker 1: knew even a scoach, even a little bit of the details. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I don't know. I wouldn't sign it. Personally.
Speaker 2: That's a strong stance, controversial.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something about me. A lot of
Speaker 1: people wouldn't say this, A lot of people wouldn't step up,
Speaker 1: but I will. I won't sign the Roman Plansky letter.
Speaker 1: You know, I draw a line in the sand. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think of what I would sign. I've probably
Speaker 1: accidentally signed a few petitions like dumb ones, you know,
Speaker 1: Like you know, remember there was like some the Rick
Speaker 1: and Morty sauce at McDonald's and people that couldn't get it,
Speaker 1: and people are having like flip out. They were flipping
Speaker 1: out at at at McDonald's.
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say one of the
Speaker 2: Man Show petitions.
Speaker 1: No, I don't even look at the Man Show. You
Speaker 1: mean the thing with what's his name that you.
Speaker 2: Guys, Adam Carolla. They had people signing against women's suffrage.
Speaker 2: I remember that was one of their bits.
Speaker 1: I didn't watch that ship. I didn't watch that ship.
Speaker 1: I was raised.
Speaker 2: I was a young girl who was being instilled with
Speaker 2: the misogyny.
Speaker 1: Misogyny and and the patriarchy, you know, belief in the
Speaker 1: patriot I don't know, I was My parents did a
Speaker 1: lot of things wrong, but they did a few things right,
Speaker 1: apparently because that ship was not interesting to me at all.
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, Like I probably signed some petition like
Speaker 1: like joking, like to bring back the Rick and Morty,
Speaker 1: you know, Sechuan Sauce or whatever it was it McDonald's
Speaker 1: like stuff like that, speaking must speak of canceled people
Speaker 1: who won't be led back in the country. Wow, somebody's
Speaker 1: like impeach Trump, Like sign the petition. I'd be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think my Sayn's is gonna do it.
Speaker 1: I don't care how many Satan issues you get, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Nobody cares. They're not gonna They're not gonna
Speaker 1: do it a second time. He's been impeached like twice.
Speaker 1: I don't even know. Like it's crazy, it's wild. I
Speaker 1: love I love that guy. Man. It's it's something else,
Speaker 1: something to watch, something just incredible to watch him exists,
Speaker 1: because it's like you see all of the failings of
Speaker 1: our of our reality. You see all the failings of
Speaker 1: humanity just just totally expressed within the way Donald Trump
Speaker 1: lives his life. It's like he's like, oh yeah, he
Speaker 1: was like uh, he's done all these rapes, and he's
Speaker 1: like lied and cheated, he's had like he literally this
Speaker 1: is a guy who literally as a business practice, would
Speaker 1: put a cee for colored next to black families names
Speaker 1: were trying to rent houses or apartments from him because
Speaker 1: he didn't want to rent to them, and he would
Speaker 1: have his people mark that down to say, okay, don't
Speaker 1: rent to these people. He was he was fucking sued
Speaker 1: and then they settled, right, Our system didn't find him
Speaker 1: like it found him guilty, but like then there was
Speaker 1: some kind of like settlement where he didn't have to
Speaker 1: ever say he did it or something, and that just
Speaker 1: got kind of brushed under the rug, and nobody fucking cares.
Speaker 1: Like nobody cares like you or I couldn't do something
Speaker 1: that racist in our daily life and like continue to
Speaker 1: exist in a normal way. But a guy like that
Speaker 1: just keeps going and now it's like all this stuff,
Speaker 1: like it's like, oh yeah, he's the secret documents. Like
Speaker 1: no president history has ever acted like this. It's so
Speaker 1: outrageous and you just feel like nothing will happen. It's
Speaker 1: like guns. It's like guns in this country. Like you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: more children were shot at a school. Well that should
Speaker 1: do it, right, Like, that'll do it. We're gonna band
Speaker 1: together and make some changes here because like obviously there's
Speaker 1: a problem, and we're just like, nah, what are you
Speaker 1: gonna do? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: I remember after Sandy Hook, I thought, well, this is
Speaker 2: this is it. It can't go any further than this.
Speaker 1: Obama's up on stage crying. You're like, oh wow, the
Speaker 1: President of the United States is like actually crying on
Speaker 1: television like I've never seen I'd never seen that before.
Speaker 1: I don't think in my lifetime. Maybe I maybe Bill
Speaker 1: Clinton cried. He seemed kind of like a crier. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's an interesting time to be alive at any rate. Well,
Speaker 1: do you mean tell you I didn't even tell you
Speaker 1: about my travels. I didn't even talk about my first off.
Speaker 1: I was in can an incredible situation. Have you ever
Speaker 1: been to Can beautiful place.
Speaker 2: Oh. I looked at the pronunciation.
Speaker 3: It's canon like eat like an American once they can,
Speaker 3: and then French it's yeah can with a hard ket.
Speaker 1: I think it's the same. Actually, I'm not sure there's
Speaker 1: a difference, but I appreciate the French trying to tweak
Speaker 1: it a little bit, trying to tweak it away from
Speaker 1: the English pronunciation at any rate. So you know, I
Speaker 1: was there for a conference, which is the worst reason
Speaker 1: to go to Can, in my opinion. There's a big
Speaker 1: media and advertising conference there called can Lyons or leon.
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know how they would say it.
Speaker 1: I was there only for about three days, three and
Speaker 1: a half something like that, and I probably spent about
Speaker 1: an entire day in travel, all told on one end
Speaker 1: and the other, like like a day and a half
Speaker 1: a day each way, the solidly twelve hours, if not
Speaker 1: more so. Think about being the most beautiful place in
Speaker 1: the world, with the greatest sort of amenities and luxuries
Speaker 1: you could imagine. But what you're doing instead of enjoying
Speaker 1: it is meeting ad executives that you could meet with
Speaker 1: who are from New York and live in New York,
Speaker 1: but are there, and so you know, that part was
Speaker 1: not fun. But there was a lot of other stuff
Speaker 1: that was fun and at least an interesting experience. But
Speaker 1: my travel was insane because I flew connections. So I
Speaker 1: first I flew from from New York to Frankfurt, Germany,
Speaker 1: where I bought a German shepherd beanie baby for Zelda
Speaker 1: in Germany, which I thought was cool some reasons. That's
Speaker 1: her favorite dog, and I don't have the heart to
Speaker 1: tell her that that's the Nazi dog. You know, it's
Speaker 1: like literally the Nazi dog. You know, there'll be a
Speaker 1: time in a place when I can tell her the truth.
Speaker 1: But she really likes German Shepherds. I think it's because
Speaker 1: she's kind of a narc and a cop, Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: she loves rules and she also like you know, kids
Speaker 1: are early on or like basically, you know, they think
Speaker 1: the police are pretty cool. I understand why, like, because
Speaker 1: the police are presented as being really a great thing,
Speaker 1: you know, like, oh no, they protect us and they
Speaker 1: help us, and they you know though, if you're lost,
Speaker 1: they'll tell you where to go. And like admittedly there
Speaker 1: are some uses, right like to the police. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying they're like again, I don't want to get into
Speaker 1: a thing, I mean a B like yeah, I'm all,
Speaker 1: you know, let's get let's get rid of them. But
Speaker 1: I can understand how child would be like, that's a
Speaker 1: cool idea. So she loves like she likes like rules
Speaker 1: and stuff, and maybe the German shepherd things like because
Speaker 1: it's a cop dog. I don't really know.
Speaker 2: They're incredibly smart. By the way, my dog is part
Speaker 2: German Shepherd.
Speaker 1: So I take offense this okay, interesting. I would imagine
Speaker 1: there are a lot of Jews that would not own
Speaker 1: a German Shepherd, right, just.
Speaker 2: Like Jews won't have a Mercedes.
Speaker 1: Sure, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Our generation probably not, but like the previous generations definitely had.
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean it's like, you know, at
Speaker 1: any rate, I had a five hour, five hour layover
Speaker 1: in Frankfurt Frankfort, and uh, I don't even know what
Speaker 1: I did. I was in a fugue state. I took
Speaker 1: a Xanax on the plane. As we took off from
Speaker 1: a JFK, I had a couple of drinks, and for
Speaker 1: the first time ever in my life ever, I fell asleep.
Speaker 1: And then I woke up and they're like, we're landing
Speaker 1: in an hour and a half. And it was like,
Speaker 1: that's never happened to me on a plane ever. It
Speaker 1: was amazing, Like, I see now how other people can
Speaker 1: travel and what a fucking dream. Anyhow, so a lot
Speaker 1: of travel, you know, did a lot of duty free
Speaker 1: shopping in the five during the five hour layover. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then and then I was there for like three
Speaker 1: three days. On the fourth day I went to the airport.
Speaker 1: Then I flew to Zurich. And what's amazing about the
Speaker 1: Zerk airport, and frankly about any airport, is first off,
Speaker 1: it's like nine in the morning when I get there. Now,
Speaker 1: the Zurich airport, because it's in Switzerland, there are watch
Speaker 1: stores there, the greatest watch brands in the world, like
Speaker 1: Rolex and Omega or is the British call it Omiga,
Speaker 1: which is a crime and they should be put in
Speaker 1: prison for it, and so all these like incredible schwat
Speaker 1: they're open at nine in the morning, right, They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: if I want to buy like a twenty five thousand
Speaker 1: dollars Rolex at nine am, that's a done deal. But
Speaker 1: there's a swat of course, there's a Swatch store, and
Speaker 1: the Swatch store had I don't know if you guys
Speaker 1: know about this thing called a moon Swatch. Do you
Speaker 1: know the Moon's watches? No, nobody knows what a Moon's watches? Right,
Speaker 1: So Swatch the biggest thing, the biggest story in watches
Speaker 1: of the past, like I don't know, twenty fucking years
Speaker 1: or maybe like since the Apple since the introduction of
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch, the biggest story in watches has been
Speaker 1: this thing called the moon Swatch, which is a collaboration
Speaker 1: between Swatch, the affordable watchmaker, and Omega and they what
Speaker 1: they did was Swatch made like a plastic version of
Speaker 1: this very famous and relatively expensive Omega watch called a
Speaker 1: Moon's referred to as a Moonwatch. A version of it
Speaker 1: was taken by the astronauts. A Speedmaster is the family
Speaker 1: name of it. And this one's called the Moonwatch. It
Speaker 1: was taken by like some of the astronauts on like
Speaker 1: many emissions, like the Apollo missions and stuff. And there
Speaker 1: was actually a really cool one that has like Snoopy
Speaker 1: on it, because like a Snoop there's like a Snoopy
Speaker 1: astronaut character that was used for some like NASA stuff
Speaker 1: and anyway, at any rate, it's a cool It's a
Speaker 1: fucking cool, real like expensive watch. And then Swatch made
Speaker 1: a version of it based on every planet in our
Speaker 1: solar system and the Sun and moon. That is, like
Speaker 1: they're different color ways and it looks it is exactly
Speaker 1: in terms of its size, shape, functionality, is identical to
Speaker 1: obviously different internals, identical to the Omega Watch, but it
Speaker 1: is made out of like plastic, like Swatch makes all
Speaker 1: their watches out of or some kind of like bio
Speaker 1: material or whatever, and they're all in these really crazy colorways.
Speaker 1: There's like a pink one, there's like a green one,
Speaker 1: there's a yellow one. They're all for like the different
Speaker 1: planets and stuff. At any rate, you can't buy them.
Speaker 1: People were like there were literally like riots outside of
Speaker 1: Swatch stores because they made them available in like this
Speaker 1: limited edition fashion and like you had to physically go
Speaker 1: to a store to get one, and there was no
Speaker 1: other way to get one. So like people sell them
Speaker 1: like for way more than they're worth on eBay and
Speaker 1: you can buy them on different watch sites at any rate.
Speaker 1: I kind of, you know, vaguely, was like, oh, like
Speaker 1: if I could get one, I would maybe get one,
Speaker 1: just because it's so novel. And you know, I'm fucking
Speaker 1: looking through the Zurich airport at nine in the morning
Speaker 1: and they just have them there. They're just sitting out.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you don't actually have these for sale, right,
Speaker 1: And the guy's like, yeah, I have all but two.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It's like kind of an amazing strange you know whatever,
Speaker 1: it's fucking who cares? Is capitalism work? You know? I
Speaker 1: don't need one, certainly, I have plenty of watches. It
Speaker 1: was just an interesting way to like start that trip,
Speaker 1: you know. So I had a bunch of gifts that
Speaker 1: I brought back for Zelda and Laura, and I bought
Speaker 1: myself a moon a moon swatch, because because why not,
Speaker 1: Because if you can't get them anywhere else, I might
Speaker 1: as well pick one up. You know. It's interesting though,
Speaker 1: I haven't taken that out of the box yet because
Speaker 1: I don't wear a regular watch because I have an
Speaker 1: Apple Watch, and that may change in the future. That's
Speaker 1: a story for another podcast. I think that's a story
Speaker 1: for another day. But uh oh, I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: I didn't say this. It's the last thing I'll say.
Speaker 1: And maybe I've talked about it before. But I think
Speaker 1: airports are so fucking cool and interesting because I definitely
Speaker 1: have talked about this before. You know, there's this theory,
Speaker 1: this thing I believe, which was created by a writer
Speaker 1: named Hakeembe called the temporary autonomous zone. The concept is
Speaker 1: like a place that for a period of time or
Speaker 1: in a specific location, is like a community that forms
Speaker 1: with its own rules, its own laws, its own kind
Speaker 1: of like way of existing, and then it can like dissipate.
Speaker 1: And I think like airports are like a great example
Speaker 1: of a temporary autonomous zone, which is that, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: like kind of an otherworldly like if you think about
Speaker 1: what it is, it's a very otherworldly idea. Like in
Speaker 1: an airport. An airport has its own rules, its own laws.
Speaker 1: The people there, none of them are really besides people
Speaker 1: that work there. All the people moving through it are
Speaker 1: not really supposed to be there. They're going somewhere else.
Speaker 1: And like there are things that are in a temporal sense,
Speaker 1: are not normal, like a Rolex store I typically isn't
Speaker 1: open at nine in the morning. I'm like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: carrying these bags. I'm taking a plane to New York.
Speaker 1: But also like if I just want to stop and
Speaker 1: get buy a rolex like that can have happen, or
Speaker 1: like a huge bottle of alcohol. The it's all these
Speaker 1: like weird things that happen there, you know, and then
Speaker 1: there's a totally different set of rules about like what
Speaker 1: you can do, like where you can be Like to
Speaker 1: see someone sleeping on the floor. Normally you'd be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, like this is what's happened to this person,
Speaker 1: or like oh, they're you know, they're homeless. But you know,
Speaker 1: in an airport, people are just waiting. It's just interesting
Speaker 1: and there's all these weird like things in airports that
Speaker 1: would never exist anywhere else. Like in Frankfurt there was
Speaker 1: like an indoor play area for children that was like
Speaker 1: a miniature Luftanza plane with like a it had like
Speaker 1: an emergency slide, but it was like a slide for children.
Speaker 1: There's just you know, there's in the middle of an
Speaker 1: indoor space just sliding down this tiny liftans of emergency
Speaker 1: you know, exit or whatever. It's just it's a strange thing,
Speaker 1: strange place. It's kind of fun though in a way.
Speaker 1: I mean, I might be am I the only person
Speaker 1: who likes airports. Maybe I can't be the only person.
Speaker 1: But I don't like traveling. I hate traveling. I like airports,
Speaker 1: weird food, lots of different food choices. It's like a
Speaker 1: it's like a mall, but like where there's way more
Speaker 1: danger of like you being arrested for something, like way
Speaker 1: higher levels of fear about being detained in a strange room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Disneyland with the death penalty. As William Gibson famously wrote
Speaker 1: for one of the early issues of Wired about Singapore,
Speaker 1: did a big did a big expos about Singapore and
Speaker 1: how it was like this like dream land of a
Speaker 1: place where that you know, you would be executed for
Speaker 1: a spitting gum on the sidewalk or whatever. I don't
Speaker 1: know if they still do that, but big, good topic
Speaker 1: for a show. Well, that is our show for this week,
Speaker 1: if you can believe it. It's all come to a close.
Speaker 1: The journey that we've been taking together is ending, and
Speaker 1: yet a new journey begins next week because we're gonna
Speaker 1: have another show, which I think is great. I think
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it, and I'm feeling refreshed and rejuvenated
Speaker 1: after my travels, and frankly, after this conversation, I want
Speaker 1: to thank the listener for allowing me to bear my
Speaker 1: soul and share my thoughts. I really do deeply appreciate
Speaker 1: that you've spent this time with me. Man, this is
Speaker 1: a real finality to this sign office seems pretty dark,
Speaker 1: pretty heavy shit, but it's not really. I'm just tired,
Speaker 1: just tired from traveling. Anyhow. We'll be back next week
Speaker 1: with more what future, and as always, I wish you
Speaker 1: and your family the very best.
