This is 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.440 from a new company called. 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:34.959 Never heard of Them? Yeah, no idea that right. 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.560 So somebody just told me you've got a cocktail company. 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:42.200 I started a cocktail company. Yeah, you know. I can't 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:43.959 remember the last time I saw you. It's been a 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.520 long time, a long time in person anyway. 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:47.840 Right, Well, let me tell you this because I don't 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:49.760 know if you knew the time. I think you did, 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:51.880 because I think I said it to you, like because 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.400 you were when I when I quit late night, they 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:55.680 said who do you think should take over? 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.200 And I said I used to Oh my god, thank 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:57.880 you for that. 0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:59.760 I thank you, But no one listens to me. 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.560 So because no one listens to me either, because the whole. 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.279 Time I was doing that shore, I was worried about, 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.480 you know, my weight and my accent. And then you 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.920 pick a fat guy with a working worse accent than me. 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.320 I'm like, what, that's not right at all? Are you 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:12.360 still working? For CBS. 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.400 To me, yeah, I still work for CBS. I'm Criminal Minds. 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.440 And well now Criminal Minds is on Paramount Plus, so 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.600 it's it's like the parent organization is it's not CBS anymore. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.920 Minds is like an institution though it's it's. 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:30.040 In its seventeen season, which is just like a mathematic impossibility. 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.200 Right, You've called you must be really rich. It was 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.360 like seventeen seasons and then. 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.399 You're like, I've only done seven seasons, so I'm only. 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.960 Oh yeah, so you're still in the kind of like 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:42.240 fifty bucks an episode. 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:43.600 Still I'm still world building. 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.840 But but yeah, I mean, I I realize now that 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.480 I had been working for CBS in some capacity or 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.360 another for probably two decades. 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:53.359 My god, you know, I had done. I had done. 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.160 I had like a couple of overall deals there, and 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.600 then I did Ghost Whisper and then I was on 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:01.120 you know, The Talk, and I did c S. 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:02.160 I for a season. 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.440 They was really they really love you. 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.640 I don't know if it's me. It's a company of loyalty. 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:12.200 I mean, I think they bet on their own good instinct. Right, 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.080 It's like if they bet on you, they believe in you, 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:14.720 they stick with you. 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.520 I never really worked for them, No, No, when I 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.119 was doing late and I worked for Dave my Time 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:25.440 Slow and CBS on the thing. Yeah yeah, you know. 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.359 But did you ever interact with CBS? Yeah a little bit. 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:30.560 No much. I mean I had to go to the building, 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:35.240 but not much. I had to have I had to 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.400 go to some Super Bowls every now and again. 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.440 Oh. I just went to the Super Bowl this year 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.960 because it was it was a really really good game 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:46.840 and it was the Swifties versus everyone else. Yeah, the 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.160 Swifties versus the Internet. Yeah, from San Francisco. 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:54.000 Yeah, just there last year, were you. It's awesome, right, 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:54.840 It's a great city. 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.560 It's it's in my opinion, and obviously I'm biased, it's 0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:58.960 the most beautiful city in America. 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.880 It has beautiful It's like our Paris. 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.600 Right, it's got this it's surrounded by water, it's walkable, 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.680 there's great restaurants. It's got the most beautiful baseball park 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:09.360 in the world. I will, I will actually get into 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:10.560 a physical altercation over it. 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:12.080 I haven't been to the base. 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:16.080 It's it's delirious, like it overlooks the bay and there's 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.760 splashed down alley where if there's like a home run, 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.680 it goes into the water and they're kayakers out there 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.640 catching the baseball, and you know, and then at San 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.560 Francisco's you can get like sushi, you know, like garlic 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:26.360 fries at the park. 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.479 But because I was looking on social media, which I 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.160 you know, is a mistake. You shouldn't do that. 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.640 No, you shouldn't, and I I'm shocked. That feels out 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:34.200 of character for you. 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.279 Actually it actually did. I I don't have anything. 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:38.920 And pull out your abacus to look at social media. 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.400 Every now and again, I do it, like I download 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.720 Instagram because I have gone Instagram again. Yeah, And normally 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.120 it's just like ignore it, yeah, dude, Like somebody says, 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.520 all right, you're posting. I think about your podcast, like okay, good, 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:54.400 this is what we're going to say. Is that okay? 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:55.120 Yeah yeah. 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:56.800 But every now and again I go on it and 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.920 look at it. I was looking at for somebody in 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:00.760 San Francisco because I was go in there. It come 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.159 up and it's like San Francisco in the hell of 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.920 San Francisco fire. And then I was like you went 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.880 and it was like it's birds are tweeting and it's 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.360 it's perfect it's. 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.680 A city because I grew up there. Like that, I 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:16.200 find that narrative specifically irritating. I'm like, right, there's always 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.719 been an intense I don't even say homeless problem. It's 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.599 just it's a progressive city and people help homeless people. 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.920 So homeless people go there because they know there are services. 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.600 They know it's a good place if you're poor, because 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:30.120 it's a progressive place and people are going to take 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.760 care of you. The big problem, honestly is tech. Right, 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.680 Tech took over the city and then they abandoned it, 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:37.640 and so there's a part of San Francisco it's pretty 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:41.920 small where they all left their offices. They empty, and 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:43.920 it's it feels a little bit like a ghost town. 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:45.600 But like you know, I blame Zuckerberg. 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.680 I blame in Zuckerberg for most things. I swear to God, 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:50.880 I think that that one of the worst things that's 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.200 happened to the human race in the past fifty years 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.280 and then, and there's been a few pretty bad things. 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:56.080 It's been pretty bad. 0:05:56.160 --> 0:06:00.240 But social media is that's a civilization then there. If 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:01.960 we're not careful it is. 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.480 It's interesting because I can see the value in it, 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:09.000 Like I remember during COVID feeling like they're like, and 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:10.920 my Twitter feed is pretty positive because I look at 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:12.839 positive things. So like, my Twitter feed was you know, 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.560 I looked at poppy videos and kitting videos or like 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.280 my primary source of information during COVID because it was 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.600 the only way not to lose your mind. But you know, 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:24.120 Twitter was responsible for, or at least partly responsible for 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:27.680 driving the Arab spring. It was partially, I think predominantly 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.880 responsible for driving Black Lives Matter. Like it was a 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.039 way for people to share information without the filter of 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.760 kind of corporate media. It was a way for you 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.040 to get information from people on the ground rather than 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.920 again from corporate media. But I mean, because I'm not 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.240 a twelve year old girl, I know when I'm looking 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:43.680 at something on the Internet that's going to make me 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.600 feel like shit for weeks after, So I don't look 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.360 at it. Right. I have an ability to filter with 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:54.279 my mind. I'm psychic, amusing my mind and brain. Yeah, 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:55.719 this is bullshit, this is real. 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:59.920 I think that I could easily become a radicalized face 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.840 book mom if I had Facebook. I mean, it was 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:04.880 just because I don't I mean, I used to know 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.080 when I was looking at bullshit and now I kind 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:08.839 of don't. It's tough. 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.920 It's tough to parse and those I mean, there are 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:14.960 elements that are trying to tell you, like everything you 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:15.760 see around you. 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.000 I mean, this is like a thought, a thought experiment. 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.080 What if all of a sudden every message you got 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.560 was the world isn't real. Everything you're looking at isn't real, 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.600 everything you've been told isn't real. You can't figure, you 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.440 can't get back on the Oh, his hand. 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:33.880 Is up, guys. Yes, right, So here's what I think. 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.840 So you're familiar with the work of Renade the cart. 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.000 Right, Yes, but I wouldn't say intimately. 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.560 All right, but enough to go to look at When 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.720 he was like, I've talked about this before on podcasts, 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.800 but when you use reason, when he went to try 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:50.000 and use reason rather than revelation to prove the existence 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.880 of God, and so he started with that he would 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.080 doubt everything, right, So you just doubt everything. I doubt 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.640 I doubt that I exist, I doubt that God exists, 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.920 I doubt the universe is real. Everything doubt everything. So 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.120 that's where we start. The only thing you can't doubt 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.920 is that you're doubting, right, I mean, you can if 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.680 you're doubting, you're doubting, right. So if you're doubting, the 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.720 what you need to do to doubt is to think right. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.360 And if you're thinking, that's where he got to cognito 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.320 ergo simon. If I thinking I exist, so I think 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:28.200 therefore I am. And I wonder if, like with social media, 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:33.000 the answer is not to try and stop it, because 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:34.920 you're not going to stop it. It's not going to stop. 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:39.280 It's gonna it may, it may devour itself itself. And 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.760 you know, at some point, I think X is eventually 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:43.480 going to winkle out of existence because it's. 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.880 No longer as relevant as I meant the teeth that 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:47.760 it had when it was Twitter. 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.000 It had literally like a party at four thirty in 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.120 the morning where like three people are still in there 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.000 and they're pouring getting all the beers together to make 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:57.640 one giant kind of one beer. 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:04.920 Yeah, and they're just in the corner screaming at each other. 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:05.480 Yeah. 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:06.200 Yeah. 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:11.080 But the whole idea of using reason to fight against 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:16.600 the power of social media, because I'm genuinely scared. I 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:20.199 don't know if I'm scared of it. I'm second it's. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.400 It's worth being, you know, frightened on behalf of people 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.319 who are living in a space of doubt and can't 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:27.240 fight their way out. 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:28.640 Yeah, because their children. 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.360 Yeah, And I mean I couldn't even imagine having kids 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.359 in this climate. Like my mother wouldn't let me watch television. 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:35.240 We didn't have a TV. 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:37.640 I read a lot. I mean, it explains a lot. 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.560 But she was like, you know, you've got to form 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:43.480 your own ideas, You've got to form your own perception 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:44.040 of the world. 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:45.720 But reason, Yeah, you've got a reason. 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.439 You've got you've got to take in as much information 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:49.880 as possible and make your own calculations. 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:51.320 But kids don't do that. 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:55.000 They're being they're being shaped by Forrest's outside of themselves 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.480 when at their most impressionable. And I was just having 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.520 a conversation with someone. We really went deep so fast. 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.960 I was having a conversation my Boos company. We're talking 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:10.040 about after after you free yourself out then. But it 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.560 was that that fear. You know that they are kind 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.560 of like these primary drivers in the human body, the 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.439 human mind, and one of them is fear, and that 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.640 fear and anger are like very closely coupled. 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:19.080 Right. 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.720 You know, we're animals and we've only been walking up 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.120 right for a very short period of time in our 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.640 evolutionary span. You know, we just figured out how to 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.800 turn the lights Otherwise we've been around for you know, 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.319 six hundred years, you know, and we were plopped on 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:35.840 the earth with a big fun or jump fake dinosaurs, 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.720 fake fake fossils, such an elaborate both what a what 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:45.480 a what a what a broad sprawling false flag operationating. 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.760 If you're an all powerful deity, why would you pull 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:47.960 some kind of like. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.360 When you ask people these kinds of questions, right, like 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:57.560 who and how and why would somebody spread these false 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:58.880 fossils all over the world? 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.600 I mean, what's a There's just no way. You can't 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:02.880 it can't beget You're. 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.480 Just like you'll go fizzle in the corner with your 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.079 body with the work at the end of the party. 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.400 But that the fear and the anger because you know 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.720 we're you know, these kind of cowering creatures that we 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:12.439 were living in caves and we're going to be eaten. 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.520 They serve a purpose, right if you're frightened then and 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:17.200 you're you know, you're fearful, then you get angry, then 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:18.880 you fight, You protect yourself, you protect. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:19.600 Your family, you stay alive. 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.280 Well, now you know, everybody's driving around in a cushy 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.160 car and you know, staring at a shiny box, and 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.840 so all that fear and anger, that kind of natural 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.360 fear and anger that has been a protective element of 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.760 you know, our species for so long, is now connected 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:36.720 to the Internet and to social media, and so because 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.120 it's a natural reaction, but it doesn't have anywhere to go. 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.599 It's tethered to images of these people are trying to 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:43.520 kill me, These people are threatening my way of life. 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.200 This person wants to steal my daughter. This person wants 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.600 to eat babies. None of these things are true, but 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.520 we have to put that energy somewhere. And because people 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:55.840 can't figure out what's real anymore, they become consumed by 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:57.360 false images. 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:58.920 So what do we do? How do we how do 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:03.640 we figure out? I have a plan about a cocktail, 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:06.880 but we have a cocktail and we watched can you 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:08.160 see criminal mindy? 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.160 You you are you know, I know you haven't had 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:12.720 a drink in a very long time, and I'm always 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:14.800 very very long time, which I'm very impressed by. 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:19.320 But you're also like a very sophisticated thinker. I'll take 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.240 it you well, you are. You're a very high thinker. 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:25.120 My relationship with booze is is is complex, you know, 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:26.760 because I love it and I'm a spirit enthusiast. 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.400 I don't do a lot. I was. I'm a quality 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:29.400 over quantity lady. 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.840 Well see that's I would say that was healthy then. 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:33.920 Yeah, I mean, you know, I feel like it's it's 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:37.120 something that's been a tool of conviviality. 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:38.560 It's a way to connect with people. 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.360 If that's how it's for most people. Just for me 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.680 it's not, But for most people, I think booze is 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:44.920 reasonably healthful. 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.480 And I think, you know, to think about it like 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:49.840 anything else in the world, like social media or whatever 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:51.520 it is, to try to find a way to have 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.880 a healthy relationship with it and realize if you can't, 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.240 to put it down right, because I think always a 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.199 good way to look at it. But I just used 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:01.199 to love the experience of going to a great bar, 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.400 having a great drink, talking to the bartender. 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:05.199 You know, I was a stand up, you know what 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:05.480 I mean. 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.640 That's when you're a stand up, you have your hour 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.880 on stage and then the other twenty three hours that 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:11.680 you have to like entertain yourself, I know, and you 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.560 gotta be careful. Yeah, and so I would go to 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.480 a bar. I would go to a bar, you know, 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.280 to talk to somebody, because you know, you can only 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.480 eat bar mix in your hotel and watch Law and 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.880 Order reruns so many nights before it's. 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.120 Well with me.
