Starting point is 00:01:45 Fuck you. Oh, okay. Wow. Fucking dare you. No, no, I'm, I am excited. I'm very excited. But these are great questions. Thank you very much to everyone who submitted questions.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Not everyone. Okay, not everyone. Thank you to everyone who submitted good questions, kind and good questions. Yeah, if you, well, have you ever thought if it's teeth when you're butthole when you guys put the mic on your assholes You know what that's not fair question. That is a fair answer I would answer is yes
Starting point is 00:02:11 I would say no because my tongue would need to be a my asshole for it to speak if I had teeth in my asshole that really wouldn't do much for speaking I mean if you It was a Teeth and a tongue in your asshole if you brush your teeth You do you feel like they would actually get clean? Oh, and now that you answered it, let me point out about how factually you're wrong
Starting point is 00:02:29 about the answer that you gave. Even though it was a joke answer. Did you pronounce teeth correctly? Matt, Matt wrote in, how often do you tell each other? I love you. Oh, you went straight for that one. Yes, because I feel like we need to set the mood with a little bit of markers I love you. I love you. Henry, I love you. I love you. Oh, you went straight for that one. Yes, because I feel like we need to set the mood
Starting point is 00:02:50 with a little bit of Marcus. I love you. I love you. Henry, I love you. I love you. I love you. I Thank you. So that was once and I love you Henry. I love you. But no truly our friend group because we are all capable of Meritor. We do like to say just so you remember I love you and then you follow it up with and now we have to go to Indianapolis. I actually do to all tell each other that we love each other. We love each other. We love each other very much. That is a fact. So I'd say that when I do my Q and A's for hail yourself, one of the most important things you can do is surround yourself with people that truly respect and that you are inspired by and that enjoy your work. And don't put you down and build you are inspired by and that enjoy your work and
Starting point is 00:03:25 don't put you down and build you up. So yes, I love you. I love you. A nothing wrong with saying that. But that is true. We really, especially because a lot of the people we work with, you know, murder fist, I've known now for more than half my life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:40 23 years. Oh, yeah. We've all known each other probably about 15 years. Yeah. And it's, we are closer. We known each other probably about 15 years. Yeah. Um, and it's we are closer We are more like family than we are like friends, but I don't we're not like you're not robbed Don't worry. I'm not saying that this is a family because it's difficult because if it's weird when the boss is like Yeah, you're like my little cousin. You know my knee. It's a company. Yeah. We never tell our employees that we like a family here
Starting point is 00:04:03 Do the do we tell our employees we love them? Yes here. Do we tell our employees? We love them. I think that's actually a better question. I love you. I like the L words. See some people, I know I also understand because I feel like perhaps because I do say it so much has it lost meaning no, but it has lost meaning in the sense of like if someone says, if I say I love you to somebody and someone who never says I love you and they say I love you, I think he carries like a lot of weight.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Sure. So I will say from that perspective, maybe it's not like, you know, I don't say it just like once in a life, I say it all the time. Yeah. But I also mean it. Yeah. I mean, it doesn't mean I want to have, it doesn't mean I want to get blown by you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:42 No, because you'd be horrible. Right. I enjoy you. There you go. I can't, I'm not going to say, I'm not going to get blown by you. Yeah. Because you'll be horrible. Yeah. I enjoy you. There you go. I can't say I'm not going to say I love you because we don't know each other that well, but I enjoy you. I'm found her. He's working up to it.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Oh, right. It's important to tell your friends that you love them because you never know when one of them is just going to randomly die. So you really don't really know. You can assume that it will be a while. That's why in war, touring countries, I forget the term, but they are a Cina. It goes to me from fraudsters was telling me in Iran, they have a saying, which is basically means like, I'll see you if you don't die.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Like, that's their goodbye. It's always like, if I don't see you again, goodbye forever. That's wow. That's what happens in war, touring places or places that are going to your streams. Strife. Every bowling, like meetup, like super intense. Yes, at the end of it is just like, but I'll see you again if you're blown to pieces.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Okay, see you in the afterlife. For meat laser one, if y'all were food, what kind of food would y'all be? Oh my God. I got a steak and aal pie. Okay. A what? Steak and aal pie.
Starting point is 00:05:43 A steak and aal pie. Yeah. I could definitely. I've never heard of that before. I could see myself as a progy with a little butthole And I can see parogi. I'm gonna go pizza because Multi-faceted you know get a little bit of cheese a little sauce a little bread But you can put anything on it. You want to make it savory? You can obviously or sweet you truly can So I'm gonna go pizza. It's the most diverse of all the foods. Wow.
Starting point is 00:06:07 And when I think of diversity, I think of Benjamin Grant. Yeah, always. I always think of like six foot seven, that's right again. Man who never repeats himself. No, never. Absolutely not. Not a pile of catch phrases.
Starting point is 00:06:22 No, absolutely not. And also six foot seven does make me unique. I mean, the one percent. And I have red hair, one percent. Wow. So I'm going to go pizza. If I had to be anything, also perhaps stuffed crust, you can do so. You have deep dish.
Starting point is 00:06:34 You have stuffed crust. You have Chicago style. That's the deep dish, but you have Detroit style. There's so many different kinds of pizza. And I feel like I really run the gamut of what can't you do? You remember when he said that he's quiet. I am quiet. Really.
Starting point is 00:06:49 He said that. Yeah. Marcus back me up. You're quiet in real life. You can be. Yes. When he's asleep, but you're not true. You can't.
Starting point is 00:07:00 I mean, I was. That's not true. It's an untrue. I will say this like, you know, we've done hundreds of shows together at this point. And when we're backstage, it's before a show. Yes, he can be quiet. Ben actually will go like an hour to an hour and a half
Starting point is 00:07:15 without saying a single fucking word. I just would have said in that one aspect. Yeah. That is a huge aspect. Am I quieter than Henry? Yeah. Yeah, it's different. I don't say I'm quiet.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Yeah. Yeah, you don't say you're quiet, but you're not quiet in any way whatsoever. No, I'm not. Yes, like we took a, when we drove to San Diego Comic Con, both going there and coming back, there was not a moment of silence in those six hours. We took it and total silence. I also talk.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Yeah, I am a talker, but. Well, you're the most quiet. No, you might not be the most quiet. I'm the most quiet. I'm actually might not be the I'm the most quiet. Marcus, I'm actually the most quiet. I'm the most quiet. I can talk and talk and talk. He really can.
Starting point is 00:07:50 I mean, yeah, so you just threw my point. Yeah, I'm the most quiet one out of the three of us. We did not you made that point yourself and then and made that thing. And you you're the loudest second loudest quietest. Actually, I will say that. Yeah, actually, that is true. Yeah, in the terms of us Imagine inspection right Henry the most extreme Marcus just there
Starting point is 00:08:22 Listen quiet's over here right at the very end of the other inspection. You're still like right there. You're still in the top 25 percent mile. That's what I have for Shremmah reference. So it is within the whole community, you want to spread it out to the whole network. I'm still one of the most quiet. Oh, let me ask you this. Let me ask you this though. If we move you out of this bubble here, we put you on a bar stool. Are you the quietest person at the bar? Or do you even if I get inspired? Because I will sit there for hours and not say anything, but then do what I find because if you're not with anybody, it'd be weird if you're like, yeah, I know what story up out there. You can make friends really quick.
Starting point is 00:09:01 It just depends if you want to, if you want to make someone smile or cry or, you know. You've made several grown men cry, but tell them that their businesses is completely drying up. It's not coming back. They're not growing, and they're background actors, they're 60s. It's, oh god, those poor men.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Oh, they really are. And they're working, they're working. And that brings us to our next question, which Henry strangely said was controversial. Oh, yeah, well, that's it. Now that all of you are living in LA, who is the most LA? Henry, you like it. Yeah, I like it.
Starting point is 00:09:32 So I like it as well. You grow more. No, I'm just, I'm not, I think, yeah, you're the most LA because you like it. I got it convertible. But you like it. You also enjoy more of the, because you're an actor. Yes, I do. And we could all, I mean, we can all act is a skill. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Like Mexican food. I like the weather. We like that. We like the weed. Yes. Like that's all my things. I like very. Also, at some point you would like to perhaps have a major motion picture role.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Of course. So this is the place to be. Not anymore, but it used to be. You wear shorts all the time. I do. shorts. Yeah, however I have made a large amount of my since moving here a large amount of my wardrobe is now him. Yeah, he loves I love him. I've become I'm wearing a hip shirt right now 100% him that doesn't make him more LA That definitely seems like more of what a Texan would do if they moved to LA. Well, it does put him more into
Starting point is 00:10:23 There's something separate between Texas and LA. It's a Subaru. Right. Yeah. It's more of a Subaru vibe. Yes. But I will say every place is what you make it. So Los Angeles, I think grow, if this is my, if you're in the arts, you got to start
Starting point is 00:10:41 in New York. Yes. I do. I think it's not a place to struggle. No. No. You got to start New York because at this point, I think you got to start in New York. Yes, I do. I think it's not a place to struggle. No, you got to start in New York because at this point, I think you got to quit wherever you pour and artistic people are, you go there, you make all your friends there. But now we've got cooler scenes in other cities. It's not just New York and Atlanta's got a great scene for music and comedy.
Starting point is 00:11:01 But there is something, I will say though, there is something about suffering New York. Oh, it means you've got it because everyone's suffering there with you. Yes. And you're sweating and you're running a great for art. Yes, great. That that pressure and that anger and that what that that they pace, it is fantastic for art. You got to keep up.
Starting point is 00:11:19 And New York is also a place where it's, you know, weirdly, it's kind of more merit-based, especially in the arts world, it's way more like New York comedians are uglier and better. LA comedians are a handsomer and more successful, but they are not as good. That is just running. That's a great question. That's true. And then there's something about just cutting your teeth and walking, you know, the great thing about New York, whether you're a billionaire or a millionaire or just making, you know,
Starting point is 00:11:44 whatever, Perogues in a kitchen, you walk by the same pot hole, you walk, the great thing about New York, whether you're a billionaire or a millionaire or just making, you know, whatever, parrots in a kitchen, you walk by the same pothole, you walk by the same, everyone's together. Yeah. And you learn so much about life and your abilities to survive. I agree. And one thing about LA that I just, I've been here almost a year now and don't give me wrong. I fucking love it.
Starting point is 00:12:00 I'm enjoying it. I like the weather a lot more than I thought I would. But it's just nothing can hold a candle to the food in New York. New York is different. You can't. You know what? It's like appearing things to roam and check. I work the best food in the country.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I can't let go of it. I think about it every day. I push five would actually push back a little bit. I say I actually think Chicago is. Well, you're usually that's your that's your taste. My real, real choice is Norell's. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. In terms of restaurants, Well, that's your that's your tastes my real real choice is normal. Oh
Starting point is 00:12:32 Yeah, oh yeah, in terms of restaurants, hmm, normal so got in terms of just fucking eating like I just I just need to eat as A person who just needs to eat. That's great. Except for tacos taco culture in Mexican food culture in general in L.A Far better. I can't live on Mexican food. But yes, so Marcus Least L.A. Ben middle L.A. and Henry most L most LA. Okay, here we go. Here's a more serious one. How do you stay grounded while consuming firsthand information about all these conspiracy theories? And what advice would you give to anyone who wants to go down the University of YouTube whole without falling prey to the radicalization algorithm?
Starting point is 00:13:00 Now I will say my, I was taught to think in high school, right? About this idea of cognitive dissonance and how you so post to kind of how you could hold two ideas in your head at the same time. What I like to do, which is kind of in the Robert Anton Wilson school of what he called like across the board, agnosticism, right? I don't believe in anything too much. Sure. I go back and forth. I like to when I read in conspiracy minds, like a view in them, like whatever you call my fucking process, right? It's that you I try to imagine how that person views the world from inside their eyeballs and what their frame of reference is is and why they think that way and what it is that they're saying
Starting point is 00:13:43 because a lot of those guys, especially the conspiracy world is in code with a lot of weird shit. And then kind of see how, by the way, Jew is is code for Jew. But I, I just don't hold on to anything to, like I see ideas for what they are. It sounds to me like you hold on loosely. And I don't like don't let go. Don't let go. I agree with that. You just, you can read these things. It does not mean that it is real. And then also part of you understanding that it is an algorithm that you within your own
Starting point is 00:14:15 behavior is curating is extremely important for you to understand about that this, what I'd call an internet letter. My algorithm, by the way, just got me with a bunch of cow lovers. My algorithm was just a bunch of like touching cows in the arms of the angels, but with cows. I also don't believe that any idea should be like, you should, no idea is like a throwaway idea or destroyable idea. I think that there are things obviously, except for like extreme, fascist thought, but it's more like what can we learn from that thought? Sure. What can you learn?
Starting point is 00:14:47 And I go, I talked about this on serious real recently with the Maui wildfires. So you can hold multiple things. This Henry said to be true. So there was a conspiracy that they were started on purpose because the billionaires want to buy up that land. They want to make Maui a smart city. All of that is completely true. And then a couple of different things came out because China does have a space laser and they showed these two photos. One was of what appeared to be a laser
Starting point is 00:15:08 and another one's a fear to be a laser. They're both from 2018. Yeah. What is the space of the rocket? The other ones are fire in Ohio. Yeah. So they're going to let's play. But making shit up and hold. But the thing is you don't want to have the spirit, the spurious correlation between just because people will benefit off the suffering. Does it mean they cause it? What's up? That's the same thing with New Orleans, the idea that, you know, real estate developers blew up the levies. They did with the world trade.
Starting point is 00:15:33 No, but however, the sad reality is Quibono people will benefit from. Absolutely. That's just people taking advantage of a crisis. Right. And that's just also conspiracy theory. I find it's a whole where we, you know, we talk about, you know, what you can often be attributed to malice you a lot of times, you can contribute to competency. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Where it's like most of the time these guys are, are, are improving as they go, just like any human is, and they just are wired in a way to look for benefits and bad situations. And that's what they do. They analyze these things. That's how they become billionaires. But you, if you don't become a billionaire without the suffering of thousands of people, yes. So of course you have to hold those things to be true, but it doesn't mean you want to throw the baby out of the bed. What?
Starting point is 00:16:10 Yeah. I mean, I definitely I live by pretty much three principles when it comes to this whole conspiracy thought thing. One is the biggest one is, of course, never attribute to malice that which can be explained by either incompetence or stupidity. That's one of them. That's the main one. The second one is Occam's razor, which is the simplest explanation is usually the right explanation. And three, using if then logic. Using if then logic is one of the, I think the most important and one of the most important tools you can have when you look at, say, a huge conspiracy, look at pizza gate, you look at if then if this thing is true, then this other thing has to happen.
Starting point is 00:16:47 For far as I'm concerned, if if another country has such a superior military technology to ours, it would not be a secret. It would be a very, very public thing. Like that's why I feel like because they, they're going to show and they're going to flex. They've spent billions of dollars making. But look at what we did. We did it with the atomic bomb and it's no different than anybody else.
Starting point is 00:17:11 So I think that that's when you get into this idea of like all these other countries have stuff that we don't have. They'd be using them. Yeah. Well, I think we got the most, we got the best. We do have the best. But I'm saying always think about if them
Starting point is 00:17:23 because it's also that's kind of an OCD exercise as well, where you just keep going and then what would happen and then what would happen. You just have to keep going through like looking at how massive of an apparatus, these huge conspiracies would need to hide and plane sight in order for them to work and it just doesn't make any sense. It makes zero sense whatsoever. And it just doesn't make any sense. And it makes zero sense whatsoever. And it's not sexy, right? I think the audience, especially on the internet,
Starting point is 00:17:51 you kind of want the sexy answer of it being one side or the other. You guys, and I do understand that there's a constant need. And obviously in like, being central is such a dirty word on the internet these days. But it's important to understand the majority of humankind, even the evil ones are centered. Yeah. You know, they have different things, what they do back and forth, like they react to things
Starting point is 00:18:14 in specific idiosyncratic ways. They are still human preservation, but they are still operating within a paradigm. So they, you know, and with conspiracy theories, you know, all you can always check to see sources, you know, you can always see like, you know, you can do a trust but verify thing, but you can also look and see like, okay, what sources do these people cite? Do they say sources say do they say? I've heard a lot of times you'll see I read this one thing. Yeah, I read this one thing. And the biggest tell is when you see these people sourcing each other. Yes. That's happened a ton in Q. That's because they're saying the truth in a way. But being like, well, I've heard people say because they're hearing the same people say the same thing about the same thing. And
Starting point is 00:18:57 they and they just keep quoting each other and they keep building upon each other. So always watch out for that. I've watched conspiracy theories. I've watched conspiracy theories about me form in front of my own eyes on the internet. I have a unique one of the most nefarious conspiracy. You're conspiracy theories about me. But line line. You're working. That's called magic. And it's where any of you lead in for the advertising fucking additions. Yes. Oh, right. I would say conspiracy and religion go hand in hand when it comes to people
Starting point is 00:19:25 that just don't want to live in the chaotic world. No, they want the idea of having some control. Some more complex. Yeah. Most simple than you can make them. I did. Oh, right. That's what the man who, uh, that's what the man who coined the term conspiracy theory said is that when man killed God, man had to look for another force in the universe. Oh, there's a like 1947. Also, if you do, I don't know, you know, not to get woo, woo, woo. And it's not really about conspiracy, but you know, you're on the right path when you start seeing a lot of synchronicities. It happens about four times a year where you're like, all right, things are starting to
Starting point is 00:19:56 come together. Oh, sure. And that's not conspiracy. Also, let's make everybody mad all once. Gwynn. Well, that's just how you do it. Gwynn Powell. What's your number one karaoke song?
Starting point is 00:20:06 Space Audity by David Bowie. I fucking kill it. It is. You make me feel like a natural woman by a read the Franklin. Beautiful. And I do not do karaoke if I had to do it. It would be I'm not proud of that ragged old flag. Right from North way.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Okay. This one's from Kayleigh Ferris. Question for all three. What was your most memorable tour experience? When we went to that, one of my favorite ones, we've had many. We've had a really great fun times. Obviously Red Rocks was fucking crazy. The beacon and the red rocks and the lava. But when we were in Dublin and we got to go to that private bar after the show, where that guy invited us over for the performers from when we performed over there. And it's cool. We got to go to that private bar after the show where that guy invited us over for the performers from when we performed over there.
Starting point is 00:20:48 And it's cool. We got to hang out in that cute, like that awesome, like, locals only bar. And then we went, got hammered at the fucking pub. That was a great night. That was my favorite time. I liked when we had our power outage in Philadelphia. That was crazy. Cool.
Starting point is 00:21:04 It was the middle of a snow storm. And for some reason, Philadelphia doesn't plow their streets. And when you don't plow your streets, snow melts and that's called water. And so the entire city block went out and we had to go and obviously it was sad that we missed the show, but we had to go out and we had our cell phones and everyone was so unbelievably polite. Yeah, everyone was 600 people in there. Especially in Philly. Yeah. And then that night we went to a place called D's corner bar. We just had such a fun little time.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Yeah, we're in Philly town. And then, yeah, Philly is always a good time. Yeah, I got a couple of them in that one of the big ones is like from a more recent tour when we did the Pacific Northwest. We were driving from Seattle to what was Portland? No, not Seattle, Portland. Vancouver. Nope.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Not Seattle. Vancouver, the smaller city, Spokane. We were driving. Yeah. Driving. What's going on? You gotta be careful with that pass. You know, you're going over the pass.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Dead man's pass. Well, it was like, it was the pass. Like we drove over this pass. It was snowing. We were driving basically through a forest. It was some of the most beautiful snow I've ever seen in my life. I was listening to fucking kid A the entire time. And I just stared out the window and just felt so completely and totally at peace.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Oh, good. I thought you were shit and bricks. I thought it was so scared. No, I thought you were scared as fuck. And then we, that's the most fun you've had is staring at the window Well, we were driving it. We go so we travel the whole world All over the world. That's just one that stands. I mean, there's a portion of the fucking pack and you can do that right now
Starting point is 00:22:36 I could take you around, but it was a moment. I don't know. I can't explain a moment. I thought he was having a horrible time I thought he was scared. No, not at all. I was at such a total and complete piece. That's great show. That's the thing is that we ended like that Spokane show is one of my favorite shows that we've ever done. But I've also got other shows where I'm like, you know, the first show we didn't Chicago with the empty bottle.
Starting point is 00:22:56 I mean, that was crazy. I don't know if it was the empty bottle. No, it was the place that was. That was when we would just make shit up. No, it was the haunted joint. No, that was the one. That's the Metro. The Metro. That's the one I'm talking about. Not the Matt and A when we just make shit up. That was the haunted joint. No, that was the one, the Metro. That's the one I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Not the matinee show we did, but the one that we did at the bar next door. I remember it was the first time I ever, that show was the first time I ever got a true laugh from an audience and it was the one. You got more life, you got last before that. Yeah, but they were in New York and they didn't count. Yeah, this is when he was,
Starting point is 00:23:23 when we were doing our monthly show. And I remember when Marcus was afraid to go on stage, or remember when you would go from the No, we can't get them on the goddamn stage. Yeah, I was real. I'm very afraid to go on stage, but like I was so nervous and I got like a genuine laugh from the crowd and that was the first time that I thought like, okay, I can do this. Yeah, I think I can maybe do this. That was the same magical show. Same night day, we did two shows that day that Mallorca really roared its ugly head into my life. They people love this more. They don't like it.
Starting point is 00:23:52 They know what they're fucking. They know what they're fucking doing. Of course, Pyro at Red Rocks is incredible. Now it's crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those poor, the poor ADA row. I always think about that. I said, we were hitting that Pyro.
Starting point is 00:24:03 And it was like they put the, the ADA row, all these like great people like in the front row, right? Like, at Red Rocks, they're like six feet from the stage. Great seats too. But like, they've done the pyro went up and just watched their faces cook. And they were like, they think their wheels are getting high. Pyro's hot.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Yeah. I think what you were, like, how hot is it? Yeah, pyro is extraordinarily hot. That was awesome. But yeah, we have traveled all over the world like shows and Dublin shows and Melbourne, the cherry tavern. So fucking cherry tavern. That I've never smelled anything quite like that cherry tavern.
Starting point is 00:24:35 The show that we did outside of the walls is strange ways prison and the war to bomb shelter in Manchester where I had to build the entire stage set up myself. Yeah. Only eight donuts. I have some. I remember the donuts. I asked them to go get me food and they came back with a dozen Dunkin donuts. And like what the fuck is wrong with you people?
Starting point is 00:24:57 But the show ended up being incredible. They were smoke and the rights lights were all red. The crowd was incredible. We were within ear shot of one of the number one most notorious criminals of all time. Oh, yeah, Mr. Watson. Yeah. What's a Bronson? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:11 And that's why I'm at that point. Yeah. We've had so many great extraordinary experiences over the years. Oh, I like this is a cool question. What is your most impactful psychedelic experience?
Starting point is 00:25:24 Probably trying to eat, uh, Peruvian meat. Samberg, remember mushroom summer? Oh, yeah, I'm trying to have some some. I tried to go Peruvian place. I was there by union hall. Yeah, I tried to go like blood sausage from this fucking like it, dude.
Starting point is 00:25:38 That place, that place is incredible. Yeah, it was really good. Not when you're tripping though. No, that level of blood meat. I like, I mean, I've only had a couple of eating experiences tripping. And they've all like not been the food that's the kind of been secondary. I can't, I mean, there's just a trip. Basically, I did ask for something that acid someone brought chocolate covered strawberries.
Starting point is 00:25:58 And I remember them just growing and moving and shit. And I was just been like, these are bugs. Yeah, these are bugs. I think I know a bugger too. Oh, yeah. I don't know. We always bonded. We always said, honestly, maybe one of the best nights ever was when other than our little stiff, because I was a little root to Marcus. I'm sorry. Very rude. A little root to Marcus. And I'm sorry. Very rude. He was upset. Point counterpoint. But then Marcus did see the diva being able to hook up the audio. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. It's good. Anyway, let's not rehash it. But that night we were all tripped our fucking nuts
Starting point is 00:26:29 off at the, at the old theater, we used to perform that was at the creek. And that those mushrooms, well, we've told this, I think I've told this story multiple times, best with me. Those are great. I've told that story. I think a bunch of times where murder fist was going to do a set on mushrooms. We're going to do an hour long set and then this guy said, I'm your hook up. And then he showed up and there was eight members of murder fist. And I mean it. He had like 10 individual mushrooms.
Starting point is 00:26:54 We're like, this is not going to do jack shit. And then everyone ate it and then we lost. Oh, fuck it. Mine. You got my that creature? Yes. Yeah, when trippy. Bro, that was the night that I ended up at a bus stop.
Starting point is 00:27:04 And then all of sudden, I broke away from everybody. You wentppy. Yeah, that was the night that I ended up at a bus stop and then all of sudden I Broditch for everybody away. Yeah, I broke I went home and I took off all my clothes and I turned on the radio and I turned on the Television and I turned on the air conditioner. I was watching the wood grain Move back and forth and I was pressing my face against this here if I could feel it like it was waves of water Wasn't that the night that you asked the Chris Farley painting to release me to release you. Yes. I have a painting of Chris Farley and asked it to release me from a shadow. And then I that was the night that I said, I was just, I felt that I was performing in a hall, like a giant hall. I was tripping. I had a great conversation with Jackie's
Starting point is 00:27:40 a browse ski that night. We realized why we would never date each other. And then we're just like, we love each other. So that was nice. And then I just a lot of great conversations. I think maybe my most impactful one was like the first one because I like it was after like a happy hour and a buddy of mine is like, Hey man, I got some mushroom honey. You want to try it? I'm like, fuck yeah, I've never done it. I've never done mushrooms before. And then we walked to a nearby park and ride as it was setting in and like we played in the park for a little while, I played with like this five year old kid
Starting point is 00:28:09 where we were just screaming at each other and the father was like cool enough where he's like, oh, that's a super high college kid. Yeah, yeah. He'll be fine. Yeah, he's a good guy. He's a good guy. And then I wandered away from the group
Starting point is 00:28:21 to a nearby coffee shop and my buddy Clint was outside and he's like, Hey man, we're having a meeting inside. You want to come and like, yeah, fuck yeah. Man, what's it for? He's like libertarians. I'm like, let's go fucking talk, man. Oh my god. Then I walked in and I didn't take off my sunglasses the whole time. I just sat there listening. And then I got in there like, Marcus, would you like to say anything? He's your first time here. And I'm like, yeah, I got a couple of things to say. And then I just, Texas,
Starting point is 00:28:49 shmacks, and then I just stood up and did this whole monologue about the oneness of the universe. There was like, I mean, the opposite, the opposite of libertarianism. Like about how we're all connected and we need each other.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Yeah. And that yeah, I don't think that's necessarily antithesis to libertarianism. like about how we're all connected. We need each other. Yeah. And that's necessarily antithesis to libertarianism. I don't think that's necessarily antithesis to libertarianism. Exactly. Exactly. So if you don't bring up the government, then they'll be like, well, now, but that's, but the cool thing about is that I had in that moment, that is when I had the realization
Starting point is 00:29:18 that we are all one and I felt like connected to the universe for the first time in my life. And I felt connected to other people. I was, you connected with libertarians. That's a must've been a strong mushrooms. I connected with my friend Clint. He's a beautiful soul, absolute, beautiful soul. And then I went home and I did finally, because I'd always felt my entire
Starting point is 00:29:36 life completely separate from other humans. I had never felt connected at all. But I finally, that after that trip, I did feel connected to people. I went home, ordered some fucking PJs, uh, and Papa John's. I put on a Don Ellis record and then I just saw the fucking purple music come out of my fucking speakers. And then later on that night, like I was still like super fucking high, went and hung out with some friends, climbed some trees. And then like by the end of it, I was like, man, drugs are fucking great. Yeah, that brings me, but that reminds me of college.
Starting point is 00:30:08 That's it. That really is when drugs were fun. Yeah, it was definitely, it was nothing but fun the entire time. And yeah, and I came away from it, a changed, a completely changed you. Yeah, I forgot the college stripping days. I hid in a bush for a few hours. Change my life. I remember laying down between two speakers and then I saw the dude. I saw the big Lebowski appear before me and he was trying to explain to me that like,
Starting point is 00:30:29 information's like not real. Like it was like a very long thing. This, he showed me the real nature of reality, which is a series of discs. It's like a sweet dog. I don't know what I saw. He was explaining to me in that there's weirdly other side of me explaining about how like, you know, a lot of people work really hard and spend years meditating and get to this point. And then there's guys like you that you sort of show up here.
Starting point is 00:30:51 There you go. There you go. There you go. All right, from ePED 2385, if each of you could go back in time to experience a historically significant paranormal event, which one would it be and why? I actually love this. Um, I would maybe just go with Betty and Barney, my friend. Sure. Hang out with B and B and just see what the fuck is going on. You're like on the road. You got park on the road. You're just, you're literally just having a couple of guys sitting in a lawn chair at the exact place where they got a party. What you guys up to?
Starting point is 00:31:25 Oh, Jeff the talking mongos. Wow. I think I'd go back there. I'd go to what you're going to do with Jeff the talking mongos. What's more like I'd like to have boots on the ground, be in the neighborhood, be on the Isle of Man when that's happening and going and kind of seeing what's going on here. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:47 I would say the infield poltergeist. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's scary. Oh, my, I'm called meringue lung. That's, that's like the 40s, isn't it? Not 70s. So that's relatively reason.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Well, it's a really sad time to be in the UK though. Yeah. But he loves it. Oh, I love that. Yeah. UK in the 70s, because that's the thing is that like I'd be there for the, I'd be one of the paranormal investigators. So at the at night, I'm in 70s London. It's fucking incredible. I think it was London. It would matter. It's a tiny country. I could make it to London whenever I want to.
Starting point is 00:32:17 I can make it to Manchester. I can see all kinds of incredible music at night. And I'd also, I'd love to know like how much of that story really is true, because how much of it is, you know, how much of it did they make up, how much of it was embellished. Yeah, I would, but I mean, not just for the paranormal experience, but also for what I would get to experience around the experience. Yeah. And then any trying to think we covered like some, some different portals to hell. There was that in the basement there. I got a hand many though But yeah, it was way more I'm seeing that's crime. I feel like true. Chris is it that more it's true. Chris is true crime
Starting point is 00:32:52 Yeah, yeah with a little and then obviously they got a whole Cundry and series out of it, but here's a personal one. I like that one What are your strategies for bringing the heat on on days when you're off and you don't really feel like you're in the mood to joke. I think I think it's really interesting because it's I feel like it's a part of what the job part is. Yes, but also I do get comforted. How often I'll show up, you know, like you deal with all of his other bullshit in your life.
Starting point is 00:33:19 I do get to do what I absolutely love to do for a living. I get to make jokes. I love making people laugh. It is my life for living. I get to make jokes. I love making people laugh. It is my life's blood. It's my favorite thing. And so I do most of the time, like, not our hell, I'm feeling once I'm talking, like once I'm doing it, it kind of gets me up out of it. Yeah. But also it is that that's where the job part comes in is that we talk about all the time. When we're on the road, like, we're your fun night out, right? Like when you go out to see us on the road, like, we're trying to make it be a fun night
Starting point is 00:33:50 and have to do us kind of something. So like, kind of doesn't matter how we feel, because we got a fucking thing we got to do. That curtain goes up. We got to go out there and we're going to make a laugh. We got to do the work. And so that's a part of it. It's a little bit of nutting up. And then some of it is coffee.
Starting point is 00:34:04 It's like a lot of coffee. Yeah. I mean, I've had to, I would say, like when it comes to road shows and tour shows, like I had some of the best shows of my life when I was absolutely fucking miserable. Always. Like when I was like the most miserable. I've been like, yeah, just had absolutely great shows. And with this show too, it's like, yeah, you know, like we've, you know, the schedule don't stop for depression. It don't stop for any kind of,
Starting point is 00:34:29 like, like, COVID, you fucking did an entire last year. You know, all fucking years worth of work. I took a week off half dying. Yeah. So it's like, it's amazing what they, so like the one good place, he was half living. I forget. We were like, it's a thing. But when you come in, like, that's the thing. It's like, you do, like, a lot of people say that they listen to the podcast when they're depressed and it cheers them up. And for me, like, I do the podcast when I'm depressed and it cheers me up. Like, it makes me, like, it's laughing about dark shit, like super dark shit. Get me out of it. Like, it helps. Like Like it helps us just as much as it helps you.
Starting point is 00:35:07 And Natalie loves the joke, because I always do the, but doctor, I am. You know, like that. Yeah, it's making people laugh, makes you feel good. This is our job and we're very lucky. As Henry said to have the job, we love the job. And we try not to bring our personal bullshit into it. You never do. Because, well, not to're not the real stuff, not the physical ailments and everything. I had a fucking
Starting point is 00:35:30 night two ear infections last year. Yeah, you fucked yourself up last year. But um, let's do this kind of intense job for us. But it is our job as performers too. We're trying to make you happy. We're trying to make you happy, trying to make you get through this existence and you help us get through this. This is from Austin hymstad. What would y'all change your names to a few aliens? Ah man, that's a tough one because what can I do? That's nice. Yeah, look at those beautiful breasts, the Sentinel holy shit. Check out that fucking movie. Oh, there's your name to the Sentinel.
Starting point is 00:36:08 The Sentinel for aliens, but Sentinel's are not aliens, right? Those are just those are shared. Not human biologics. No, they're not demons. Yeah, I believe in the Sentinel. No, but I'm talking about I'm talking to X-Men. They're robots. You're talking about their robots. Yeah, they're just robots.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Yeah, they're robots. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I'm really mad. I'm crazy about robots. They're robots. You're talking about their robots. Yeah, they're just robots. Yeah, they're robots. Yeah. I don't know about really. Mark is created by robots. They're robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. Robots. That's actually very good. Very good. I just be an alien name, Beverly, DeAngelo. Beverly, DeAngelo. And then, you know, you always got the fun names, the, the blurbors, the glorblers, the, uh, maybe, uh, we'll blow with our, but that's from Guar. Yeah. You're going to take that. You can be inspired. Kind of like you like. You can be flow bar. Flow bar is fun. Uh, flow bar is actually booked on Fridays and Saturdays. It's actually really hard to get into flow bar flow bar is fun Flow bar is actually booked on Fridays and Saturdays is actually really hard to get into flow bar
Starting point is 00:37:08 So they can bring them. Yeah, don't even bring it up. I don't know. Maybe I'll just be like the old I'll do though the big wet green one Let me kind of fun the big wet green one Come on, big wet green one. Yeah, I just say yeah, I just saw me all over the place Yeah, big wet green money. You're watching play red light green light. He always goes on red. Here I like this one. All right, after all the horrible things you've read and talked about, do you think people
Starting point is 00:37:31 are mostly good or mostly evil about? I think people are mostly good and that's why when they do evil, it stands out. That's what makes air quotes news when you open the door for some money and you have enough exchange. It doesn't make the news, but you do that. If you actually pay attention to how, but if you rent the door off and then you hit the wall with a game. But for the most part, considering just how, again, self interested human beings are by nature and self protective, for the most part, we're doing pretty good
Starting point is 00:37:57 to even have a society. Because we are, we are trigger happy. Oh, yeah. I think traveling the country is really indecent, except for in Oklahoma city. Yeah. I think traveling the country is really indecent. Except for in Oklahoma City. Yeah, I mean that place. I don't know why. It's all it's not it's trouble. It's the good people of Oklahoma City. Move to Tulsa. Trust me, y'all. It's a large, large swath of the country. I don't like Oklahoma City is just a part of a very, very large swath of the country that is very good.
Starting point is 00:38:26 But even I wouldn't say that they're evil. I would just say that sometimes isolated and maybe a little scared. Traveling the country, I find that you'd be surprised. Most people again are in the center. Most people, I think my break, my actual number breakdown percentage wise is I think that 65% of human beings are absolutely normal and good and just walk around just trying to live their fucking lives. And they are, they are, it is the majority of people that are so sick to fucking. They bleed like they're open to other people.
Starting point is 00:38:55 They just don't give a shit. They just don't really care. They're, they're just working on their own lives. Well, I think good and evil, like that's way too binary. I think what it is that, like, yeah, the majority of people are, like, if you just kind of put a binary to it, it's like good or people who don't murder and evil are people who do murder. Like, I think- Well, instead it's majorly the people are good, but I would say it's like 15% are good. 15% are evil. 70% are normal. I think most people need to be taught how to not be mean. Like, I think most people need to be taught how to not be mean. Like I think most people need to be taught how to be civil.
Starting point is 00:39:27 It's a thing that you should do. Well, you have to get from your parents. You learn. And a lot of them don't. Now a lot of them don't. Not these days. Yeah, these days, unfortunately, yeah, we don't really teach like ethics and morals a whole lot.
Starting point is 00:39:38 And that's part of the reason why Americans are so fucking mean. Read a great article of the Atlantic about it. Yeah. I don't really feel Atlantic. I don't feel Atlantic really covered. I don't really cover. I don't think the Pacific that said, but not it is you Americans are the meanest people need to be taught how to be actually mean. I truly believe Canadians are the meanest. Well, they're passive aggressive. That's the meanest. They're passive aggressive, but
Starting point is 00:40:00 it's not just Americans, you know, it's a lot of people. It's just morals and ethics. We just aren't necessarily taught as much how to be nice to each other and how you're supposed to treat each other, how you're supposed to have a friendship, how you're supposed to treat your neighbor, all that type of shit. We do need to be, I don't humans are social creatures, but I don't believe that humans. I prefer socialize right now. I don't, I don't believe that humans know how to be in a large society. Like we're social, but we're not societal. You know what I mean? We have to we depend on each other, but we have to be taught how to live a 21st century lifestyle. This is not natural. Cities are not natural for humans. See, I still feel like it's not about the cities.
Starting point is 00:40:40 It's about the it's about the social media and how we're just not supposed to know what everybody's thinking in all times. No, we're just not supposed to know what everybody's thinking at all times. No, we're just not helping. We got that. You help our though. No, we're all professor X. We're not supposed to know what everybody's thinking at all times. But I do think that, oh, I like this one.
Starting point is 00:40:54 But Kissel's correct. The lot of reason why that there is this meanness is that I do think a lot of it is fear. I think a lot of it is people are afraid. It's weird times. They don't know what to do. And so the fear is a, and what I've learned in therapy is that for me, somebody like me, anger is a much safer emotion for me to experience. Sure. And other emotions. And so that rage is actually much more easily accessible for some of these people. And they give it to their kids. They, they push it down the line. And I'm hoping that there be some kind of reversal of that with the new younger age, because
Starting point is 00:41:30 maybe then they can have some perspective. Like they can look at us and be like, whoa, because they can kind of see the broad spectrum of like, because we're the, the millennials are like, they're truly like one of the last generations to go from. We talked about this with our special guest next week. We talked a little bit about this, about the, this, this concept going from analogue to digital. Yes. And how like our childhood as people born in the mid and I'm 19, for my childhood was a lot closer to the childhood of kids in the 16 hundreds. Then it is now, you know, I mean, like Like it's exactly, it's a completely different world. So maybe the younger generation can look kind of maybe have some more like perspective
Starting point is 00:42:09 of time and distance. Well, I'm not sure about all that. Let's get a J lead better. I actually like this one. What paranormal experience would you most like to inflict on each other? I don't, I'm not, I'm inflict is, it implies nefarious, but honestly, I would love for you to see an alien. I think kissly is get abducted. Yeah Kissle needs a get
Starting point is 00:42:31 I don't want to be abducted, buddy buddy. Space babes think about it though. You would be so because you're so I don't even think they'll be able to know I don't I don't think they want you're both like highly agitated, but also you can like kind of I could see you getting picked up by aliens and I could actually see I can lean out, but I definitely think you can be like you don't want to hey I think that you actually would have a more like accepting Experience of the upduction that I would even I would I wanted to give this to you You don't want to be abducted you not abducted. I want to see an alien because abduction is different I actually I think respond to a someone trying to take my control harder than you do because you have had to like let go Take the wheel a bunch of different times just comes to your size like sometimes you have to arrive
Starting point is 00:43:14 I'm like I don't know if they'll let me in there the oftentimes they don't all right So you want me to be abducted Marcus? I would like for you to I just feel like it has to be cryptid related. I knew you would. Yeah, but is that accurate? I would like to see cryptid, yes. Because you love nature. Yeah. You know a lot about animals. Yeah. And I know you love like the chupacabra and all these things.
Starting point is 00:43:35 But maybe just the revelation of which cryptids are real, which ones aren't. And you get to hang out with a big foot. So you know, being incredible. Thanks. Yeah. That's what I would like to do. And you would also be very. Visit them in their natural habitat. Yes. Because also that be incredible. Thanks. That would be awesome. It would also be very... That would also be very...
Starting point is 00:43:46 And it would also be very... Visit them in their natural habitat. Yes, because also there's something very human about that. Once you meet, if you we truly did, again, like the platypus was encrypted, then they're like, nah, she's real. So you would just be like the Jane Goodall of the cryptid world. Thank you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Yeah, I could see that. And yeah, I guess I'll be abducted, and then I guess you get to go and hang out with ghosts. I'll see a ghost. I wouldn't, I guess I'll be abducted. And then I guess you get to go and hang out with ghosts. I'll see a ghost. I wouldn't mind ghosts. I've seen an orb. I kind of liked the idea of just having a bunch of ghosts around. You do. I know you don't need to know the image choice.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Yeah, I'm just not I'm not so scared of the ghost. I would exorcist if they if it's a true exorcism, that would be fucking scary. A shit. Yeah, I would like to put Marcus on because you know, they're saying now that, so one of the big things with the whistleblower, and it's like that, again, if 1% of what he's saying is true, it could open up our own possibilities. So they've been talking about, and what if there is a real exchange program between us and some other race, some other alien race?
Starting point is 00:44:44 I'd see you doing that. Oh, absolutely, I'm a very, I can see you put it over to the other side. I'm a very adaptable person. And it's a 12 year shift. Yeah, I could see 12 years on an alien planet and then you come back. Sounds fantastic.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Much like that video game I'm playing. I'd love it. Hi, on life. I want to play this game. Honestly, it is really funny. It's very funny. So we've ever made it. Congratulations. Fly from your place. All right. I got a good one. Let me let me out. They'll post to you.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Guys, since we're already on aliens, you look at this. You guys honestly think we will get some form of alien disclosure within the next 10 years, other than flying saucer landing on the White House lawn. What would it take for mainstream media to actually cover it? We are seeing them cover it. I'll be at the say that. They are covering it. They're covering it. I don't think so. I believe yes.
Starting point is 00:45:30 I think that we're going to actually have physical evidence at some point. It's just seems like they're gearing us up for it. And to be honest, everything has come so fast with the new AI digital era that we live in. Might as well just add it to the fucking pile. I feel like everyone at this point is really open because I think everyone is just like, what is this? You say open. I think it's way more everybody's extremely distracted than they don't care because there's a lot of other shit going on. I do feel like if they could come out and say that UFOs are real, then aliens are real and people
Starting point is 00:46:01 would not give a remote shit. That's what I'm saying. I think that that means that they're technically ready. Yes, I think that we might get something like that. I don't know because, again, I'm in this conspiracy theory corner here. I was like, oh, so now I'm supposed to believe this, the secret object retrieval group within the Pentagon. Oh, that got, oh, there is a, I'm going to believe them. Well, but what about the fact that Elon must have that stupid ass fucking Tesla to space and then it's out of our atmosphere now? That's just, so I'm
Starting point is 00:46:31 not maybe not an alien, but we'll get some fucking tangible shit. Maybe. I, because someone's just, that is just gonna land on some dumb fucking planet somewhere. Yeah. I don't think that it's ever gonna have nothing will ever hit with people worldwide as far as aliens go until it affects their personal life. Of course. That's the only thing that will ever make people give a shit about aliens is that if you have to take a different route to go to work because there's a fucking UFO, then you will care. Then you will care. Or if you have, if something in your personal life changes because of UFOs or aliens or whatever, then you will care until then no one's gonna give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:47:07 They're gonna go, hey, man, that's crazy. And then they're really gonna be like aliens are taking our jabs. They're taking our jabs. We're gonna see that weird shit. I feel like there's gonna be a whole thing of alien racism. I think that there's that, I mean, who knows? I don't know. It's a whole million.
Starting point is 00:47:22 It's better not be racist. I'll tell you one thing. They're gonna learn the hard way. If they come in here and they're racist. We're going to get canceled. We're going to get canceled very, very quickly. I did see one fleeting question that tried to ask me how what nailed on what I actually believe. My problem is that again, I'm in the school of Robert Anton Wilson.
Starting point is 00:47:37 I don't, I believe in everything and I don't believe in everything. I believe that thing can be entertained. You pick them up and you let them go. That's for my actual core belief, I think that, you know, number one is it's, is it egotistical to think that we're the only living creatures in the universe? Absolutely, sure. That's one thing with it, but the biological side of it.
Starting point is 00:47:57 Thing is though, that brings me to, if they are biological, and they can't arrive here physically, we are fucked. I think that that's actually really bad for us, as a as a as an animal. I think it's very bad for us. So I hope that they are only they are biologically real and they are very, very, very far away. And that what we are actually experiencing is some form of other form of transport. I believe that they send little like orbs. Okay. if it's real, and again, biological separate all together. It's just nuts and bolts. They're sending recon things to the middle of the part of the world to check us out, look at us.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Maybe decide we're not worth it. We're out in the middle of fucking nowhere. Maybe we were part of some because they say we might be a part of a binary star system that we don't have and seeing the other star yet. It's that far out. It's supposed to come into now. And maybe we're just some po-dunk dumb shit part of the universe so they don't want to come to. So maybe there's that far out. It's supposed to come into now. And maybe we're just some po dunk dumb shit part of the universe so they don't want to come to. So maybe there's that. Or they waiting
Starting point is 00:48:49 for something or, you know, I was watching this thing about the homo, uh, Naledi, uh, which was a race of, of ape like creatures, 350,000 years ago that were burying their dead, which was 100,000 years before the first recorded Homo sapien burial that we have found. So they're also David Grasch, part of what is Russell blowing the saying that the Al, the grays might have been genetically manipulating life here since the very beginning. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. They got you go and they got you go inside of it. But then the other side of it, let's just stick with that. It's fully a psychic phenomenon, which I again, I think that if it's real, if it's real to you, it's real.
Starting point is 00:49:28 I don't even remember the question. Now I don't remember the question. I actually get alien disclosure within the next 10 years and will the media cut, well, will it take for the mainstream media to cover it? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no It's like gotta become a personal interest story. All right, my last one is, what were your childhood selves? Think of your current self, slash career, slash life. I think overall, I would say that this was my plan and overall, I think he would be happy.
Starting point is 00:49:58 And he looks like you're reading a script like you're being kidnapped. No, I think over all of it. Cause yeah, cause he went through a lot of stuff. It was a lot of rough seers there. And so yeah, I think over all of it. Because yeah, because it went through a lot of stuff. There was a lot of rough seers there. And so yeah, I think overall pretty happy. If you got to see, because you know, I think that little me would be extremely excited.
Starting point is 00:50:14 And then I just also explained there's a lot that comes with the life, but it's a fun ass life. Yeah, extraordinarily surprised and happy. I mean, you know, you're gonna do broadcasts. I mean, we all know that we. I mean, I didn't know I didn't know. I wanted to do this. No, when I was a, no, when I was a kid, I had no idea what I was going to do. I thought I was going to be a writer when I was a kid, which is, of course, I was sure, which I am a writer. But yeah, broadcasting, I didn't get into,
Starting point is 00:50:39 that wasn't something that I even considered a possibility until I saw a flyer for the college radio station KT, when I was 18. It's six, I think I said I wanted to do comedy. Yeah, I wanted to do comedy really young. No, I mean, little me would be absolutely thrilled. Yeah, but I wanted to be also, it just more to be explaining that little me just been like, but you do know it's like we're really also highly stressful. But it's also, well, that's good.
Starting point is 00:50:59 You want to stress out little, yeah, always. I didn't already was, but also I had different ideas. I mean, it was like set as SNL, the movies. Oh, yeah. And then radio, you know, I always loved radio also. Yeah, I figured to be doing. There's no plan B for any of us. No. So there is no fucking option because technically I don't, if I don't care, I can't do it. I have no other skills. I mean, I would be ecstatic. I mean, because I would have my only three goal, my only goals in life, which would be number one, not being Rochester, Texas. Like that number one. Done. Why? That was number one. That was a number two. Have a job that I don't hate.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Done. Done. You know, and, you know, have, you know, friends that I love. Yeah, the silver thing that I love. Yeah. You know, and a wife that I love. Yeah. And a fucking massive record collection and a little device that gives me comic books, movies, books, and pornography. And it's this fucking thing. So that's incredible. That's incredible. If you want to show a fucking iPad to 14 year old me,
Starting point is 00:52:00 I would lose my fucking mom. Yeah, that's the thing. It's just stuff like that. But like, if I show a little me how big my TV is, yeah, that's what would impress little me. It's not everything else. It's literally like if I showed him my television, he'd be like, you got a television that big.
Starting point is 00:52:16 No, it's just I would hand myself a little things like here's a device in which you can access almost every movie ever made, almost every TV show ever made, almost every comic ever published. And an endless supply of pornography that is free. Every book that's ever been published, everything is in this little tiny thing. And all you got to do is charge it up and this year's forever. Maybe the only thing that I would be missing is like just kind of like sex bots. Yeah, you wish you had full sex. You could get a sex bot. Yeah, but I'm talking like a human.
Starting point is 00:52:51 He was with a toxin moves. Like a partner. Now Lee and I have something to do. I have definitely like, what do you ever envision? Like when you were a little, do you envision what your future has been? Would be like, and she's like, but she said a bunch of like nice things. She was like, you know, I was, you envision what your future husband would be like? But she said a bunch of like nice things. She was like, you know, when I thought, you know, I felt that he'd be like, oh, we'd
Starting point is 00:53:10 be smart or and like take care of himself and do what you know, like, you know, have things that he believed in. She's like, what did you think? And I was like, you know, little me only ever was like, hope she's hot. Yeah. That's all I had. That's all I had. It's a hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all you have to go. That's all I had as a kid.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Yeah, I was born in someone who I could get along with that liked the same things that I did and I got that. That's me. Well, isn't that nice? And Marcus, your final question. My final question is, have you had any funny or unexpected reactions to your career from extended family or strangers?
Starting point is 00:53:43 They're all like what? Yeah, now what? You know, nice thing is once you buy your parents a fucking house, they love it. They're like, oh, what's this whole six, six, six banjo man, that's fun. Um, so yeah, they are, you think I get a lot of men? I got, yes, people are very shocked. I know that my mom ran into some people that knew me from high school. And I remember like talking to her like, you know, like, it's just incredible. He goes out there and he, he says all those horrible things.
Starting point is 00:54:11 And he just makes money doing that, I guess, right? And she's like, yes, yes, that's what he does. Yes, it's his character. It's his character that he plays. It's not him. And then I was a slut, you know, which is, I've been telling her for years. That's, you know, it's separate. We know obviously it's like, you know, she knows, but it is interesting.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Cause then they're all like, well, I'm glad. Cause we didn't know what else he do. Oh, yeah, my parents thought it was all. It was definitely other people. My mom always, my mom gave me the very high polish Italian, like deeply embedded misogyny about how men are able to do whatever they want. You know, that style. Italian like deeply embedded misogyny about how men are able to do whatever they want, you know, that style.
Starting point is 00:54:46 But like when it comes to this, it really was like, he better be able to do that because that all he does is not pay attention to class. I'm not going to be an actor. I'm too big to be an actor. So you got to figure out some stuff. Yeah. Everyone back in Texas, you know, when I tell them what they, or they all know now what I do, uh, never tell me something like, oh, we always knew you were going to do something weird.
Starting point is 00:55:07 You know, that's nice. That's nice. They say like, you know, unconventional or, you know, and that was when I was, uh, you know, leaving Texas, they were like, yeah, you know, we love you, but yeah, you need to go. You need to go along here. You don't belong in Rochester. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Everyone I don't belong in Texas. I think the number one thing that we all share is our mother's all supported us. And we used to do the shoestring players when I was being home school. I'm mom didn't know what you saw murder, if she wasn't really until all my mom's. That's also, but that's what I believe in the axum of do art like your parents are dead. Yeah, because also you got that's what separate this. You can't do it every day. That's why it's special.
Starting point is 00:55:44 No, my mom loves what we do. She loves it. Like you're mom loves it every day. That's why it's special. No my mom I love what we do Love's it. Well, she actually my mom loves it now Yeah, but you're mom.
