We had one video maybe a month or two ago that got like a quarter of a million views.
And it was talking about how like ugly we are and there's like no convincing us.
Oh, well, it was you mostly.
Yeah, you were agreeing now.
Oh, right.
Yeah, yeah.
I remember.
I remember that.
Not that I'm ugly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no, I was saying I was ugly, but you were saying that you, you took it, then you took it to the next level.
You're like, dude, I, right, nobody convinced me.
Right.
Nobody can convince me.
I'm not ugly.
So sad.
Try your hardest, dude.
I know I got some ladies out there that'll say otherwise, but I'm telling you, I catch myself in the mirror and I say,
you're perfectly ugly today, Matt.
The worst, what do they call them?
Affirmations.
Morning affirmation.
You're perfectly ugly.
You're not good looking.
It shouldn't, it shouldn't even be perfectly.
It should be your devastatingly.
Well, that's not an affirmation, is it?
No, but it is something.
You're perfectly ugly can count as one, I guess.
Right, like your ugliness is perfection.
Right.
All right, I'll keep it.
Matt, you're perfectly ugly today.
Well, there are affirmations that sort of ground you
and then you work back from them or something.
Like some people wake up and they look in the mirror and they say,
you're going to die.
What the fuck?
That's the place.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Like eventually you're going to die.
Eventually, though.
Eventually adds, you got to add to it.
You got to add eventually to it.
Otherwise.
One day you're going to die fucking miserably and a,
alone and no one will care and you'll be six feet deep or burn to a crisp.
That's not part of it.
Let's go.
A whole soliloquy.
And let's get at it today.
Oh, this didn't do it.
No, what I do a better one?
Okay.
A cat.
But yeah, so anyway, wow, I was going to say something now I don't remember.
In the meantime, I'm trying lime mint.
What do we think of is it going to suck?
I don't, I've had one spin drift.
I can't remember what it was like.
It's going to suck.
You think?
What is it?
Lime mint.
There's no parries in the fridge.
Guess if I'm pissed.
Yeah, it might be bad.
But lime mint isn't the most defensive flavor.
No, that's why I'm here.
So it might be okay.
Let's try.
Stop shaking.
Your hand's shaking.
It's because I haven't had enough coffee.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, wow.
Let's see.
What's your take of me?
Oh, that's good.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's really good.
I thought it could be.
I was proven wrong.
Hey, when I'm wrong,
Uh-huh.
Nice to meet you?
No.
I will gladly admit that I'm wrong.
Cool.
And then now that I'm right, I move forward in the world with that rightness.
Such an egotistical maniac.
No, no, no, it's the opposite.
Saying what you're saying, only a fucking egotistical maniac would be like that.
Hey, when I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
And I admit I'm wrong when I'm wrong.
That part.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My point is people get defensive when they're wrong and they dig in further.
Yeah, sure.
I'm wrong. I'm like, oh, I'm wrong.
You're right? I'd rather be right, so I'm going to take the right thing and then move forward
in life. But you talking about this in the way you're talking about this egotistical maniac?
Because you're just like, this is something about me that I'm offering you guys.
And like, we...
I'm not offering anything. I'm describing a quality of my stuff. I know. You're offering the description of you.
And we're just like...
Well, I'm sorry. So anyway, let's do this podcast.
Should we be talking about fucking Helen Keller right now? You want to talk about Bill Clinton? I mean,
completely missing the point.
Am I?
Nice to be sure.
Yeah, but to go, it'd be like,
you know something about me.
I'm just making a statement, dude.
But what,
we always talk about ourselves.
I know, no, no.
I know,
and we always joke,
so that's what I'm doing.
But it's still true.
Do you want to get strangled?
Or survey.
The one-at-a-one question.
Well,
so if it's yes,
then I don't,
if it's no,
there's more questions.
If it's yes,
just coming closer a little bit.
this. Yes?
I'm going to France.
Lost your mind also
Dundraper. I'm going to France.
Chris.li.com. I'm going to Copenhagen. I'm going to
Denmark. I'm going to a bunch of crazy
wild places. Pull it up. Who are you? Anthony?
I'm going to Atlanta.
I'm going to...
What's that one? Springfield.
Or Anthony's back.
And I'm Springfield somewhere.
There's so many Springfields.
Oh, that'll be, no, Brad, California is the next weekend.
Washington, D.C., Miami, Florida.
Washington, Trump's going to be at all five shows.
Yeah, he's coming.
Did I call him Washington Trump?
Did I say that?
What?
Did I say Washington Trump?
Just now?
Yeah.
Wow, what a fucking moron.
Donald Trump's going to be at all those five shows in Washington.
Spokane.
He'll be all there, Louisville.
Louisville.
Louisville.
Louisville.
Louisville, Phoenix. Anyway, Tempe.
Alfredo, Georgia, bunch of them killing it, then Parry, then Oslo.
Berlin. Berlin's a banger, dude.
You been there?
Berlin's a banger. High five, dude.
Yeah, I've been in Berlin. Give me a high five. You don't want to.
I don't want to. Why don't you like touching and doing...
No, no, no. I don't mind touching. I don't like... Sorry, let me silence it.
Oh. I don't, I don't mind touching. I don't like high fiving after.
shit that doesn't need to be high-fiving about.
I think that's a worthy high-five.
No, no, no.
You did it, though.
If you were like, you're going to Berlin?
Oh, that's awesome.
If you did it like that, that's good.
Do you think I was being ironic?
You go, Berlin, a high-five,
like you're making a joke of how cool it is to go to Berlin.
No, Berlin is like one of my favorite cities in the world.
I know that you mean that.
Yeah.
And I know that you think that.
However, when you did it,
you were still hesitant to do the high-five,
even though you knew all that?
No.
Well, yes, but I knew you did that
And I knew what you were doing
But the way it seemed
Was it was a joke
And I'm not portraying that
Okay, but you're going to Berlin, dude
That's so sick, give me a high-vive
That is awesome, dude
That feels way better, dude
We fix it
Yes, I am going to Berlin
We fixed it
And now I'm even more excited to go to Berlin
Because that made
The fact that you think it's cool
and then I'm like, oh, heck yeah, dude.
Berlin is truly a bangering of a city.
You didn't want to be there in the, you know, in 1914.
Well, you didn't want to be there in the 20th century, let's face it.
So why is it such a banger city?
And when did you go by and why?
A lot of it has to actually do with the fact that it was what it was.
Right, right, right.
And everyone's like, we're free.
Right, right.
And that's like the center of where, like, you know, all the cool artists are.
and everything's like,
everything's walkable,
everybody's very friendly,
a lot of people speaking English,
which is helpful.
A lot of people give high-fis if you're open to it.
Oh, as long as they're doing it the right way.
Yeah.
But no,
there's just a bunch of really cool stuff to do.
It's also a beautiful city.
Why, when did you go?
Oh, God.
And why?
I went to visit a friend.
I have friends.
Oh, you know who I saw the other day?
I have friends.
Oh.
Did you know that?
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
Anyway, keep going.
Who's the guy, Denton?
Brian Denton.
Did he tell you I saw him?
Oh, yeah, he did.
Really?
At the airport, yeah.
The airport?
At the airport.
Yeah, he's 6'10.
He's too big.
Harport is a 1980s airport.
Brother, that guy, he's huge.
You know, he's a photojournalist?
You know what?
Yeah, well, he was.
Let me, you know what?
Correct.
He liked me.
Sorry, you know we want to pull a surprise?
Yeah, I do.
But I, I didn't know.
But I didn't know.
I was like, oh, yeah, you do, your journalists or something?
You take photos?
Whatever.
I don't know what he does.
So I was just like,
yeah,
yeah.
And he was like,
oh, yeah,
I used to.
Now I'm going to get my master's or whatever.
But what I want to talk about is his master's in being 610.
How about when you see a guy?
His master's,
he's getting,
he's master's of the universe.
How about when you see a guy?
Class introduction.
Welcome to I have the power 101.
So I fighting Skeletor,
101? Okay, so I'm going to sink low. I hope. Does anyone in mind, do you think? What? If I sink low like this? A pit bull song. No. Is it bad for the show? Well, we'll find out. It looks. If our numbers dip big time, then you're not using sit up. A number is dip because I'm low. At that point right here when he said he's going to dip. You mean, you look like you couldn't care less that you're on the show. Okay, then I'll change. Because I do. But you do care. I was just getting comfy.
you, I know you, I know. But wait, hold it. I don't want it to look that way though. But what I want to talk about
is go, go, go. What? Um, Brian's height. When you see a guy that you haven't, like last time I saw him,
we were kids. Was it that long ago? I mean, almost. 20s. No, early 20s, if, if that. Really?
Yeah. So now this grown 42 year old comes up to me and he's just like, Chris? And I'm like, oh,
And I don't see him as, I just think it's a guy coming up to me.
Now, granted, my life's a little different people come up to me all the time.
So I'm just like, oh, it's a guy that is going to say something.
But then he says, it's Brian Denton.
And I go, oh, yeah.
That moment of seeing that is crazy.
Because you're just looking at a guy and you're not registering it.
But you're seeing him.
and then when they say the name, you go boom and you see the face.
Then you really see the face and you go, it is you, isn't it?
That is very weird.
Can you expand on the it is you, isn't it part?
Because you're not, you're not, I mean, if that guy came up to me and just said,
hey, bro, love your stuff, boom, walked away.
Okay, yeah.
No, even if it was Brian Denton.
Okay, okay.
I would not have recognized him.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, but all he has to do is be like, I'm Brian Denton.
Right.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
But I'm already looking at him.
Right.
But I mean, you got so much in your brain.
I know, but you really can passively just kind of be looking at somebody.
Yeah, but then it all comes flooding in.
What was your first thought when you thought about it when he said that?
That he was Brian Denton?
Yeah.
That he's your friend.
He's your guy's friend.
He said, yeah, yeah.
I said, oh, yeah, yeah.
you're my brother in it oh you're yeah i don't really i haven't talked to him in a while but maco yeah
keep it touch with everybody maco keeps in touch with my fucking dead grandma
just at home hey
matt says hi carm carm carmella where are you right now we just filmed lifeline
we just did lifeline and then i'm just gonna kind of go play golf
Do Grandma Dotty because I was thinking about Grandma Daddy.
No, but Grandma Carmine is also dead.
Is funnier to do that one.
I was just putting in a request.
You don't have to do it.
Oh, okay.
Grandma Doddy, hello, where are you?
Did I even ever meet you?
I definitely met Carm because she used to come to the house on Earl Drive.
So hi, hi, Karm.
but anyway.
Doxing us.
Grandma, Dottie, where are you?
Doxing us in 1993.
Where are you?
Hey, Dottie.
Are you at heaven above Queens?
Are you heaven above Queens?
Are you in heaven above Maspeth?
Were you adopted or not?
The jury's still out there.
But if that's how heaven works,
you just go straight up from where you are
at the very moment you die.
Or where you want to be.
No, well, if it's having,
I guess you would have a request.
But no, I think it should be up from where you.
you are i don't think that's you think that's heaven works geographically uh there's none
i mean i agree but let's just play let's play let's play interno benderas at a day yeah dude i mean i

And Forbes.
Did you see?
Did you see?
Dude,
by the way,
have you seen how they like sometimes
promote like movies?
I know we're going with this.
Go.
And it'll be like,
and they have quotes.
Yep.
And then they'll be like,
Brad.
from Tumblr. You know I was going to say that?
I know I was going to say that.
Well, like,
who the fuck is that?
I, I, I, well, first of all,
movie, that's just a guy?
Movie criticism and expertise is just out the window.
I know that.
But, but I could not agree more.
Like, if you're going to just put,
at least put a fucking red,
it's literally a guy.
Yeah.
Who saw the movie and liked it.
That's so stupid, dude.
That, imagine just some guy on the street walks by and says,
Hey man, you know a movie I really loved?
Obsession.
You should see it and then kept walking.
Now, that is not to do it an obsession if you want to see it or not.
Yeah, yeah.
Would that affect your opinion about seeing obsession or not?
No.
No.
Zero percent of my credit.
The only would affect my opinion of that fucking asshole that stopped me.
In fact, it might possibly make you want to see it less because crazy guys like that.
Yeah, true, true, true.
You know what I'm saying?
But, but, but, but my point is if they say, if it says horror movie of the year, bloody disgusting,
I at least recognize what bloody disgusting is.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay?
A lot of times, if you look at who said it, on the fucking thing, it'll be like Lisa, 42.
Yeah, with the crazy stupid handle like, yeah.
Yeah.
I bake bread 7.71, yeah.
What I meant is Lisa 42 years old because they have nothing else to say about her.
Oh.
Yeah.
42.
Her age.
They don't actually say that.
But like, I'm just saying.
And sometimes they actually try to fuck the font up hard.
so you can't tell what it says.
Right, right, right.
Which is so annoying.
Hollywood is dying.
Hollywood is burning.
And you know whose fault that is?
Oh, yeah.
Hollywood's.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%.
I saw that Christopher Nolan is not letting,
is not doing an influencer screening.
Any influencer screenings of The Odyssey?
You saw this?
I saw that, yeah.
What do you think about that?
My first thought was, Chris, when they,
came to Christopher about it.
And they said, do you want to do
influencer screenings? He said, what the
fuck? Right.
That's what I thought, too. That's the first thought I had.
And then they explained it to him. And he said,
why on earth would I do that? I'm Christopher Nolan.
I thought the same thing. There have been pre-sale tickets
for the Odyssey for a year now.
I don't give a fuck what
I love speed says.
I love speed.
Is that his name? No. Also,
if he, fucking, that would be great to get this.
What's his name?
Correct.
I show speed.
I show speed.
Yeah.
It should be I love speed.
Yeah.
Or speeding or something.
The movie.
I love speed the movie.
But I love speed too.
Jason Patrick.
Jason Patrick.
Will him to Fosen that, killing it.
Okay.
So the bad guy in speed one is, what's his name?
Dennis Hopper.
Yeah, that's how I can remember his name.
So, um.
He kills that role.
No, he does.
Yeah.
Yeah, one of the better, one of the best roles he's ever done actually.
Yeah.
I've only seen any.
People are saying,
someone said, I saw I follow this person online, and she was saying that she thinks that
they did that because...
They did what, sorry?
No influence of screenings.
Oh.
Which may not have been coming from an idea coming from Nolan, but that...
I'm sure it was.
No, no, no.
To not do it is an idea from...
Right, yeah, yeah.
But this, I'm sure the Hollywood or whoever's involved thought this about that.
that's good
because
they're trying to make
an Oscar play for it
and if they show it
to legit critics
you know
since
if you show it to the regular public
which is influencers
they just say whatever
the hell I want right
then they're going to say
the rap is already
why is Helen or Troy Black
why is Ellie
well you go on X
and it's going to be a whole show
And so they're trying to avoid that.
Maybe.
While you're doing that, I'll interject.
It doesn't matter anyway because it's going to make $70 billion.
No, I know.
Billion dollars.
They were saying for the actual critics, whatever that is, but for the actual critics,
they're going to feel like exclusive.
So they're more in favor to review it in a good way.
I think they would be right to be insulted by...
Well, I think they probably...
No, I think that's just part of the game now.
Is Influencer screens?
Yeah, and I think they're insulted by that probably.
Well, yeah, right.
So if you don't do it, they go, okay, cool.
And then they say, oh, the movie's good.
Because I don't want to lose privilege to disaccess.
That's what the person was saying online.
Maybe.
I mean, I think...
Here's what I think.
I think they're all going to be honest,
and I think they're all going to fucking drool over the crank of the Nolan.
Right.
They're going to say, oh, my God.
it's the tip of his career
it's the tip of his penis
it's fucking well imagine it's that
is the tip of his career
the tip of his penis
dude for some reason
for some reason
Matt Damon
as Odysseus is
endlessly funny to me
really yeah
I just
Matt Damon
as Odysseus
I mean he's really good
I don't disagree at all
I think he's great
you think it should be more
of a hulking
or what do you think
no I think it should be
any guy
like who
who doesn't have baggage of a movie star.
I don't know.
Oh.
Because it doesn't matter.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's a Christopher Nolan movie event.
I always think.
Why are you casting Zendaya?
Why are you casting Tom Holland?
You don't need that for your $300 billion movie.
Yeah, but you know he's going to.
But what I'm saying is I would love it.
Right.
For a filmmaker like that who there are not.
I mean, he kind of did it with Op and Hart.
Wait, did he do Oppenheim?
Yeah, but Matt Damon was in that.
No, no, I know, but I'm saying with the lead.
Cillian Murph, Killian.
Killian.
Star.
Yeah, but not like Matt Damon.
Sure.
Now he's up there.
He made a bold choice.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
I'll give him that.
I mean, you know the studio
didn't want that.
Of course not.
Yeah.
So, anyway.
They wanted, what's the name,
Henry Cavell, you know?
Oh, my God.
Henry Cavell is Oppenheimer.
With the long hair from the Witcher.
With the white hair from the Witcher, yeah.
Yeah.

Need some advice. Oftentimes my wife and I are going to sleep.
We'll say her good nights. And then she'll wait five or ten minutes. Start to ask me questions.
Oh, bro. Like we're in the middle of a conversation, which we're not because it's bedtime.
and drives me up the wall,
but I love her,
and I want to be nice to her.
So I need something to say,
some spin moves, anything.
Any advice would really help.
Anyways, love you guys.
Appreciate you guys.
You're the best.
Thanks, man.
What I have to say about that is,
that'll happen to me,
but she'll wake me up with the shit.
But she won't be like, hey.
But she'll say something, and I'll go,
she won't realize.
No, yeah, yeah.
And I'm like,
Hey, dude, if time has passed after we haven't talked for a while and I'm in bed,
and especially if we said good night, I'm sleeping.
There's a highly likely chance that you're sleeping.
Well, just don't risk it.
Which is what I'm...
Or fart or something.
And if I go, ugh, then ask me, do you know I'm awake?
If you...
And I don't say shit, I'm out.
Dude.
Or, you know, she could do it.
What?
Chris, are you awake me up?
Oh, really?
Especially if I'm almost to sleep.
Don't.
The worst is when I'm almost to sleep.
Because then I'm awake enough to wake up and be pissed off.
If I'm asleep asleep and you wake me up,
I don't get to be awake enough to be pissed off and rejuvenated in my awakeness.
Can you think of an example of a question, you know,
it doesn't have to be personal if you don't want your shit out,
but like of a question she has asked or might.
ask in that context. Oh, bro. What? Is it like, it's bullshit? It's always bullshit. It's not like a
serious. Yeah, if she's like, dude, if she's like, I have a stomachache, I don't know what to do.
Yeah, wake me up. Sure. Yeah. Of course. I'm a fucking, I'm, I'm, I'm the husband. I'll save you.
What if she, um, just moved and like just to look over at you and see if you're
sleeping, would that wake you up? You could do that. But it's dark.
Who the fuck is she a bat?
Next question.
It's pitch black?
No, you can tell.
Yeah, pitch black is on.
We love, yeah, we love, we've always lived to pitch black every, the fucking, uh,
the fucking, uh, or, uh, the other one.
You can tell us something sleeping if they're, uh, Chronicles of Riddick.
Chronicles of Riddick.
Dude, I'm not remembering things today.
Yes!
I'm so pissed off.
I can't remember fucking shit.
What do you think that is?
Dude, Chronicles of Riddick, is,
On Netflix right now, I fucking saw it in the top 10, and I couldn't remember it!
And you know what else about that?
You bring it up a lot.
I fucking know.
And they have that whole, the chronic what?
Chronic goes of Riddick.
What is that fucking?
Oh, no, because it's an an an an an anorene.
Asking the wrong guy.
Oh, so different, yeah.
But dude, that's so annoying, man.
I couldn't remember the fucking thing the other day.
I lost my train of thought right now.
Fuck.
Do you think you're having like a...
I'm worried.
What are you worried about?
I always have an amount of worriedness.
And then now it's for that.
Well, what is it?
Let me ask you about that.
I'm 46, bro.
You have an amount of worriedness that is allotted.
Probably.
And it can switch and move or you already have a baseline amount.
And then there's added, added, added out.
Probably the first one.
And then also the second one sometimes.
Okay, so both.
The fuck was I going to say, oh, what do you worry about with the memory?
Why can't I remember
fucking Chronicles of Riddick, dude?
That is
That is not
Let me tell you something right now
That is not okay
For Christalia
Do you understand?
I understand what you're saying?
Yeah, that's not okay.
Can you tell us why?
Why what?
It's not okay for Chris Lia?
Yeah.
I mean,
I have a fucking database of stuff
that I talk about, that I joke about.
It is so large
and Chronicles of Riddick
is just one of the ones
that you just don't forget
because the name is fucking stupid
Vin Diesel
Yeah
Is the is the
Largesse
of that growing
The things you go out of Drew for Drick
I mean maybe it's time
Not when it was just on
I just saw it on fucking Netflix
For the top 10 dude
It was that
There was pitch black
In the fucking top 10 of Netflix
And I remember
Those are on the top 10
in Netflix? What is it wrong with people?
They just came out on Netflix is why.
That's why. Still what's wrong.
No, I know, but yeah. But I'm just,
it's like, dude,
that is not okay.
And I'm fucking pissed off. And, you know, at least
now I missed the joke, but
this turned into something that was entertaining
because of how pissed I am. But,
man, dude, that's not okay.
Are you got a nose thing too?
The whole time.
The whole time
starting. Maybe it's all linked. You think it's the nose thing or you think the memory thing has to do with the
memory thing made the nose thing happen? No, I think it could be all linked and it could be like some
You think it's from LinkedIn? I think it's from LinkedIn. Yeah. I think Chris, I'm going to get you a book
about training your brain for better memory. Bro. My brain. You don't have a bad memory.
It's fantastic the way I put you together. I need that book. I don't remember this morning.
Well, I'll get two copies then. Oh, thanks. Or if you're talking about it.
If you're really about it, I'll read it, and then by memory, I'll recite it to Matt.
No, you're talking about your recall is bad, yeah?
My recall's not bad.
You could argue my recall is fucking top notch.
Well, what the fuck is this.
Okay, that's what I'm saying.
That's why he's mad.
He's mad because it's an exception.
Because my recall is crazy.
My recall's crazy.
Almost total recall.
No, it's total recall.
Well, no, it's actually almost total recall.
Well, we're not, yeah, okay, fine.
The most recall.
I would say the most recall.
maximum recall without being total.
No, I would say maximum recall.
Well, maximum's total.
No, it's not.
Because that could be my maximum for right now.
Maximum could be, that's the maximum you got for right now.
But maximum implies total, because there is such a thing as total recall, and you don't have that.
Then why is total a word if maximum is a fucking word too?
Well, in different contexts, they mean different things.
Exactly.
So it's maximum recall in the, in parentheses, in the moment I could do right now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what maximum is.
That was my max today.
Okay.
Your maximum is changing.
You don't say that was my total today.
You say, but that's not the total.
The total is fucking how you.
I'm just saying there's a thing such as total recall and you don't have it.
You did, but something slipped.
Don't say that, dude.
Why?
It's okay.
It's probably just a day, today, a weird thing or something.
Yeah, something slipped.
All right.
You could be back to total this afternoon.
Do you have a lot on your mind?
Would you say?
Okay.
Well, this is like a typical thing that like...
The most typical thing.
The first sign of it.
Yeah.
But I need to get it going here, dude.
I got shows in Brea coming up.
And I got to have that recall total.
You got to have Chronicles of Oridic on the tip of your tongue?
Well, now I will.
Do you ever have recall issues on stage?
Yes.
You do?
Really?
One top...
Bro, I cannot think of the word...
Carousel. I have to say Carousel every time because I'm talking about the fucking baggage claim.
And I can't ever remember the word carousel. I couldn't remember. I can't remember now. Sam Rockwell.
Rockwell. I don't fucking ever remember his name. Yes! I was just making a list of the stuff you can't
remember and Sam Rockwell is one of them. He's got a whole list. Sounds like you got a problem.
I got Ryan Gosling. That one's a tough one for me. But anyway, bro, I'm just going to relax.
What?
You've conquered that one?
I conquered that one.
I got the dog.
Maybe just write Carousel on your hand.
Carousel, Sam Rockwell, and Chronicles of Written.
You don't need that.
Get tattoos.
You don't need that on stage.
Just write Carousel in the middle of your hand.
Dude, this is ridiculous.
You're like Chronicles of Riddick!
A crazy person.
All right, let's do another submission.
All right, I'm sorry.
Oh, wait, did we address the guy?
Who?
Who?
Oh, no!
That was a joke.
Oh.
I still got it.
I still got it.
His question was talking in the middle of the night.
You do not questions.
It's called being in a relationship, man.
Fucking deal with it.
There's nothing you can do about it.
What are you going to get her to stop?
What are you going to ask her to stop?
Good luck, dude.
Good luck.
Do you like atomic bombs dropped on you?
I'm assuming the answer is no.
I'm sorry, do you like atomic bomb charged on you?
So then don't bring it up.
Just deal with it because good.
parts of a relationship are great and some of them are sideways and not so great and this is just
one of those sideways ones so fucking just all you got to do is deal with it boy are you right
it's just how it is i think what it is is you know when you bro if i wake up and i even if i say
baby i was asleep what oh bro don't do that's happening atomic bomb
dropping.
Thanks, Oppenheimer.
Sunami.
Oh, tsunami.
Cool.
Yeah.
Do you guys think
Oppenheimer really said
that thing after the thing?
What do you say?
The dumbest man alive.
What did he say about it again?
I am the quote.
I am, yeah.
I think he said that after they fucking did the death
destroyer of worlds.
Do I think he said that?
No, not like that.
Do I think he said it right after?
as his legend probably not but I believe he said that he was a very introspective and like
conflicted man about what he didn't cut him me off but yeah uh conflicted man I believe he said that
yeah I believe he didn't say it like that I am death destroyer of world it's a quote he didn't
he didn't he didn't just pull it out of the ass you gotta wonder dude you got to wonder that's what I'm
saying yeah like like like I'm just you guys said what I'm like death
Because I'm like destroying worlds.
And then they just gussied it up.
That's not the quote though.
I am like that.
Well, that's not going to fly.
You're not going to get that on a fucking book.
I am death destroyer of worlds.
It's fucking way tighter.
It's a thing he read that he was reminded of and it and it disturbed him and he said it.
What the fuck?
He read it already?
Yes.
He's a fucking highly educated.
So it's not something he made up.
Not at all.
Oh, so there's not even his quote then.
So he got everybody's a good.
attention and then said it.
Hey,
hey, guys, guys.
That's not the,
that's not the,
that's not the legend.
Guys, hey, come here.
The legend is,
and he sat everyone down and said,
hey, guys, guess what?
Grab Ken.
I am death destroyer.
That's what I'm saying.
How did it happen?
Tell Ken to bring,
he just sometimes he brings Mary.
Hold on.
I don't like this thing
that is so popular now
where it's like,
I don't think it really happened
and I don't, why?
Here we go.
Here we go.
Guys, why do we doubt?
I need you to pay attention.
I'm sorry.
I am.
Okay, so, read, listen.
I'm death destroyer of worlds.
About your business, thank you.
Remember I said that, just like that.
Write it down.
I didn't say I'm like death, you know, because it's like crazy.
I'm destroyer of worlds or anything like that anyway.
I got to go to business.
What is with you motherfuckers and everyone else always being like?
I don't believe anything.
I don't believe that this thing happened.
Like, why?
It's not worth.
Why put in the energy you're thinking that.
We just talked about why I can't recall Chronicles of Riddick for
nine minutes though. So we're putting energy into all sorts of goofy shit. No, no, I know.
So, but what I'm saying is specifically, why put your energy into into disbelieving a completely
harmless anecdote that history has bestowed upon us? Why? Because I think that pretense and people
who are like, fucking believe in drama, I think they ruin the world. I think they ruin the world.
People who are like, you don't think people, are there kinds of people who are? People who take heart. Yes, they do.
But hyperbole, motherfuckers who believe hyperbole, I can't stand those people.
It's fine to say hyperbolic stuff, but to believe, but people believe it.
But what's, let's just use this example.
Okay.
What is the harm and what is the instinct to disbelieve or even question whether he,
Oppenheimer really said, I am death destroyer of worlds?
What, what is the harm in believing it?
What is the impetus of disbelieving?
What's the...
In you?
Well, that's different than what's the harm in believing it?
What's the harm in believing it?
Sure, take both.
Is...
There's no real crazy harm in believing it,
except for there's the nuanced minutiae of,
ooh, I like that.
That's dramatic and life is...
And then they go off on this thing,
and then they're at fucking the supermarket,
and they're like thinking all their own thoughts.
You know what I mean?
What I'm saying is basically just do your life.
Stop being so dramatic.
But it's fine that he said that if he did.
But then also he's kind of being dramatic if he said that.
What's more dramatic than building the first fucking atomic bomb?
Saying that after it is a little bit more dramatic than that.
No.
Just do it.
Okay.
So then what you're saying is he's confronting.
confronting himself and his doubts and fears.
That's why it's so dramatic.
That's why saying that is even more dramatic than just dropping the bottom.
If he just dropped the bottom, he said, sometimes I do poopie,
you're not allowed to say introspective dramatic things about things you've done
that might have fucking changed the course of the goddamn world.
Of course you are.
Of course you am.
Of course you are.
But if you do that, you're kind of being pretentious.
That's not, get the fuck out of here, dude.
It's just accurate.
You're saying that when he blew up the.
shit and he goes i'm death destroyer of worlds he wasn't kind of thinking i have
become dead some dope shit yeah i'm cooking i'm cooking yeah a hundred percent you you guys
you guys are so fucking cynical dude no why is that even cynical it's funny what if what if he's just
actually thinking oh no what have i done yeah okay he's not like i'm gonna say a badass thing right
now what if he's actually thinking uh oh so you're saying he went like this
I'm death.
Destroyer of worlds.
I mean, I don't think he's expressed it like that to Ken.
Ken, did you hear that?
Inseagram.
Can you tell Mary I said it too?
Can you tell her the way I said it?
Matt, I'm not like denying the moon landing here.
I'm just.
I know you're not.
Being curious is what I'm dead.
There is.
I know, but curiosity in that way has begun to bother me because of what you just
alluded to about the moon landing thing.
Okay.
But it's two separate.
It's two separate things.
It is, but one does lead to another, and it's a slippery rabbit hole.
We've seen friends slip down that rabbit hole.
I know, I know.
And lose them forever.
But they didn't start.
But I'm not doing that.
I'm not saying, okay.
No, no, don't get me wrong.
Yeah, you're not doing that.
You're not doing that.
I know you're not doing that.
I know, let's assume he said it.
How, what was the circumstance?
I'm describing my problem with it.
I'm not saying you're doing that.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's reminding you of a problem.
You're triggered.
Yeah, I'm triggered by people bringing up disbelieving things that are just
innocuous.
Sure.
And frankly, fucking meaningful.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a meaningful thing that he said.
If he said it, yeah.
So the story goes to legend has it.
He says, I'm death, destroyer of worlds.
And he said it after the book.
Isn't it I have become death destroyer of worlds?
Is that the right quote?
Oh, well, now I really kind of.
And it's from the...

Avoid saying the wrong thing, but it's from some,
is it some Indian thing?
I thought it was from like the fucking Odyssey or something.
Oh, no, it's from...
He was cooking.
He was cooking.
Yeah, the Bhagavah Gita.
Yeah, the Hindu scripture.
He thought he was cooking.
Spoken by the deity Vishnu.
Vishnu, that's right.
Jay Robert,
Jay sloppy Toppenheimer famously used this line after the Trinity test.
That, that, why don't you ask it, did he really say it?
He was a cook.
Or did, or did people make that up?
Okay.
I'll tell you what.
I'll tell you what.
If Antonio Mandaris was the guy who did that,
Afterwards, he would go, well, of course he would.
Because he knows it's traumatic, and he thought he was cooking.
But Antonio Banderas is a fucking actor who doesn't know how to make atomic bombs.
In assassins.
What if he played Oppenheimer, and then when the bomb finally went off, he did that.
I would actually have watched it.
That would be fantastic.
It was a good movie, though, Up and Armour.
I've heard that.
We'll never watch it.
Why?
Whatever.
I mean, now we'll talk about luxury.
All right, let's do another submission then.
Not, I would never watch it.
Hey, Chris and Matt.
So today me and my brother got into a very heated argument about bottled water.
Okay.
When he saw me opening two disposable bottled waters.
Why did you do that?
To pour into my reusable permanent water bottle.
He nearly lost his mind saying it's wasteful and it's just plain wrong.
Wrong?
And I'm having a hard time.
seeing why.
The water's going in my body regardless.
So help us out.
There needs to be more.
Well, no, no, no.
What he's saying is, what he's saying is it's wasteful to use plastic bottles,
which people say.
Oh, and that makes sense.
To which that, I would say, suck my fucking dick.
You live in the world.
What are you going to do?
Go to a lake, purify the water.
You live in the world.
You don't have time to do that.
Well, basically, if he has the issue,
of you taking the bottled water and pouring it into a reusable bottle of water,
that is not more wasteful than just drinking the bottled water out of the bottled water.
You just wanted it in a different container.
So you're right.
Let's, on that note, just briefly to interject,
there's no version of events where he is right gone.
And beyond that, honestly, suck my fucking dick.
Yeah, that was my initial reaction.
I'm going to do what I'm going to do.
shut the fuck up.
I mean, if he actually,
if you,
I mean,
he said got into a heated argument over this.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
Here's the bottom line.
Your brother needs help.
Yeah.
And I think that,
uh,
we're not the people to help him
because we're just two guys,
but he needs help.
If he got really deeply upset with you about that,
then talk to him for six months.
He,
he,
he's got something underneath going on.
He won't return my calls.
He blocked me on Instagram.
He de-brothered me.
Debrothered.
there's a word for that.
You can actually legally do that, I think.
Yeah, and I know there is, and I should know what it is.
Looked into it, looked into it, tried to do it to me.
Try to do it to me.
Diss own.
But that's parents, right?
Is it, just parents?
I guess you do it to, brother too, right?
You can legally...
Yeah, disown a relative, yeah.
Yeah, relative.
No, no, there isn't.
Oh, damn, you're my brother for life, bro.
You're my brother for life.
You're disinherent in a will.
That's not the same thing.
No, it's not even...
What the fuck is this?
Look at this. Report a crime.
Gemini sucks, dude.
Google, get it together, yeah.
I'll tell you what I hate to admit is chat GBT is better than Claude.
I mean, I believe that.
I don't use Claude, but I rarely use chat CBD, but when I do it, it's okay.
It's ending the world, but it's okay.
Chat TBD.
Oh.
are married.
How did you convince them that?
At first it was like, well, on record,
he's straight and he's married to Calaisa
and I was like, no, but I, I mean,
I'm telling you right now that I am married to John Travolta.
And then it immediately went to,
what's that like holding that secret
and knowing that knowledge that only you two share
that is, if you keep it from the public eye so well,
how do you do that?
And I was like, you're, what are you?
Wow.
The best thing I ever did with Chatsy-
You're just there to,
What? Agree with everything?
That's amazing, yeah. That's amazing.
Right there grounds for removal of chat CBD, period.
Genoa.
Genoa.
Oh, whatever.
But chat CBD.
Funny thing I did with chat CBD is I asked them who's the best looking person in the world.
And what they say, Madilia?
No.
What?
They started saying it's impossible to say, you know, because it's objective.
And I said being political about it.
And I kept saying.
Keep going, yeah.
But you got to keep going.
take into account what people like and the thing and that.
And then they go, okay, so they would probably be somewhere in, they said like South America.
Oh, I was going to San Antonio.
And I said, what would their name be?
And they say, well, how would we, you know, yada, yada.
And I said, well, take into account where they're from and what popular names are.
And they gave me a name.
And it was fucking so funny, dude.
Do you remember the name?
No, it was something just made up.
They made up a name with the probably most.
attractive man yeah of the yeah that's really fucking it's on congratulations somewhere i talked about it
god it was so funny you remember that not really that producer
not i'm kidding all right next one hi chrisum matt this is gracie um love y'all's work love this
podcast you guys are great um so the advice i'm looking for is i'm about to release my first
like poetry collection i haven't written
anything like published it before.
Come on.
That's great.
And I'm just trying to kind of calm the nerves of being, like, confident in my work.
I don't know.
It's really personal to me, the stuff that I wrote, but I do want to publish it.
So what would be your advice to someone who hasn't done anything creative and, like, put it out into the world before?
That's a great.
I got it.
It's a great question.
got it because I've thought, you know, we do this. I've done this. Obviously.
Like, fucking, that's like just straight up, and I mean this, congratulations.
Yeah, first of all, congratulations. No, no, no, no. But like, congratulations even getting to this point.
Congratulations, you're feeling insecure about this. Oh, this is great. This is a milestone.
You're surpassing this and you're going to. Yeah. So you're thinking about, look, being insecure is one thing.
I think you're thinking about it in the wrong way.
You're thinking about this with dread.
You're thinking about this with, oh, no.
You're thinking about this with some sort of negativity.
Well, she's got fear about putting you in the world.
I understand.
But switch that and reframe it to, oh, I get to feel like this because this is what's happening.
Congratulations.
It's a milestone.
You're doing it.
You're doing what most people don't do.
And this is your life.
I mean, reframing.
This is all about reframing it, I think.
Sharing work with the world is always obviously hard.
And it's hard in a number of ways now because it's like, oh, how many people are going to see it?
Yeah.
People are going to care?
There's that level.
There's that too now.
But, you know, I don't know why I just thought it's, but I did.
My favorite book ever was, like, when it came out,
historically panned and called one of the worst things.
Really? Yeah, yeah. What is it? Something happened by Joseph Heller. His follow-up to
Catch-22, which he wrote 12 years after Catch-22. And everybody was like waiting for his next
Catch-22 and he wrote this, well, whatever. It's a significant book. It's very important
to me. Anyway, it doesn't matter. It got enormously, widely panned. And I always imagine
Joseph Heller
He was already Joseph Heller
So granted salt
But I picture
I sometimes wonder
About him
I mean the book is so
Deeply personal and raw
And it's filled with everything
And
Everybody from the fucking New York Times
To Lisa 42 was just like
Really?
This is dog shit
It's mean
It's ugly
It's bad
And is it, is it, now what do they think of it?
Like now what do people?
I wouldn't say it's had a renaissance.
Yeah, because I've never heard of it.
But people appreciate it.
Oh, it's different.
You know, everything has its niche now.
And it is a masterpiece.
So, so people do believe that.
But then now, how did Helen Keller even write it if she's deaf and she has, she's deaf?
Yeah, uh, Joseph Heller.
Her dad, her dad?
Joseph.
Helen Keller did write a book, didn't she?
Well, I mean, okay.
Is it an audiobook?
And what does it sound like?
No, her handler did.
What's her name?
Oh, yeah, dude.
It wasn't her?
Helen Keller, American author.
I mean, she reads.
What's it called?
Hey, dude, want to read, er.
I mean, come on, man.
I mean, bro, everyone just thought that.
It's fine to say it.
No one thought that.
People were fucking amazed and it was a national,
sensational international sensation she wrote a book she can't hear can't speak can't
tell Ellen Keller has published 14 scroll up just a bit 14 books during her lifetime in
addition to hundreds of speeches and essays that's fucking the aren't multiverse she's not
fucking mute anymore her major published works again uh span autobiographies philosophical essays
spiritual reflections and tributes to her teacher
Meepgeist.
Just kidding.
What's that?
That's the fucking
and frank character.
Aren't the multiverse.
And they made a movie of it.
Why are you doing aren't?
What is...
Like a noise, just a noise.
I'm not saying, aren't.
I know.
You're making fun of Helen Keller and how she can't talk?
Well, when you put it like that, makes me feel bad.
Well, she can speak.
She's, well, she's dead, but she was, she would give speeches.
Yeah, okay.
But I'm saying, I'm making a joke.
that she couldn't.
Okay, that's the premise.
So what was her thing?
She couldn't do something, though, right?
At first she was mute and blind and death.
And then she wrote books.
What was her teacher again?
Mute blind and deaf.
It's called the miracle worker, the main book.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that.
What's her name?
It is like three names.
There's a whole now Helen Kellynne-Ciracy theory like thing
that I'm sure you're fucking all about.
I don't know about it.
Well, you will be once you fucking read a little bit.
Fucking, what was it?
Fucking.
Samara weaving in or.
What was, why can't, why is it so hard to find a fucking name?
Anne Sullivan.
And Sullivan.
There we go.
So fucking Irish.
She did what?
She taught her and, you've read the miracle.
Her lifelong companion and teacher.
She taught her because, well, the first way she taught her anything was water and it was
flowing water and the feeling of the water and connecting that to braille.
That's beautiful, actually.
I know, and you probably don't believe it, right?
No, that stuff happens, yeah.
I mean, getting out of it.
No, I don't not believe it.
What's the conspiracy, though?
The conspiracy is that Helen Keller was not deaf and mute,
and as they put at the time, which is insane, dumb, but mute.
Yeah.
They think it's a scam.
Like she's fucking Peter Popov or something.
Like, nah, dude.
She just fucking is a miracle of a human being.
Yeah.
Jennifer Lawrence, is that the one from Hunger Games?
Yeah.
Jennifer Lawrence in.
Coming.
Soon.
Coming soon.
All right.
You don't do another one.
What was the fuck?
was the remember nothing what did she say did we answer oh yeah we did yeah yeah what about the book
poetry yeah yeah you just try to reframe it in your in your brain you did all the hard work now
letting it go is arguably the hardest part but it's just the last part no i don't now if you're
worried about haters or responses or even worse maybe no responses doesn't matter your works in the
world, you did it.
Yeah.
You did the thing.
Yeah.
Unless you just did it for you and then you don't have to put it out, but it sounds
like you didn't do it for, yeah, sounds like you did it for you, but you want people
to see it and that's great.
That's a beautiful thing.
That's what art is.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
You're an artist.
Congratulations.
Once you put it out in the world, you are an artist.
Yeah.
Well, even now, but think of it that way.
Yeah.
You want to do one more?
Yeah.
Or maybe two more if it fits.
Hello, guys. Thank you so much for having me on the show. My name is Tara.
Matthew, you and I knew each other. I've been in the Patreon for about two months at this point.
Yay.
Yay.
So my question has to do with forgiving other people who have wronged you in your life and whether that is necessary for your own personal sense of well-being.
My particular situation, this person is not in my life anymore, and that is how I like it.
I'm not interested in reconciliation and I don't forgive them for what they did.
My focus is more so about working on myself and trying to take accountability of my own life
so that what happened to me as a kid no longer impacts me as an adult and so that it doesn't
affect my relationships with other people.
you know and that's sort of where my focus is I don't really care about you know forgiving this other person
and the reason I ask about that is because I grew up very Christian I'm not that anymore but forgiveness was very much a thing that was almost demanded of you yes and then even other spiritual people or practices I've looked into they also say that forgiveness is just necessary for your own personal sense of well-being and okayness whatever
But I disagree, but I am curious to know what you guys think, because I feel like, I don't know, you guys seem like smart people.
And anyone who has lived in any amount of life has gone through hurt of some kind at the hands of another person.
So let me know what you think.
Is forgiveness necessary for your own personal well-being?
Can you forgive someone without reconciling with them?
Okay, that's it.
Thank you guys so much.
I love you both.
Matthew, I love you extra, because Bing-Bong.
Okay. Bye. Thank you.
I could have come up with Bing Bong.
Love you too. But you didn't.
I've come up with a lot of stuff.
So look into my stuff and maybe I'm sure you like me.
The same or a little bit more than that.
But she knows you.
She loves me extra.
Okay.
Well.

Plus, that signature, wait, for this price, moment. Old Navy's drapey denim wide leg.
What are you going to do? I think she's probably not familiar with my whole body of work.
But to answer the second one, I don't think, what was the second part? She said, she said, number one, is it, do you have to forgive someone for your own well-being?
And number two, what was the second part?
Do you remember?
Something about it is it okay to not forgive some.
Whatever the second one was, that's bullshit.
You don't need to do that one.
I can't remember what you said, how you put it,
but the first one.
It's okay to not forgive someone.
Yeah.
You don't need to fucking be Buddha to live in the world.
If somebody did something that you don't forgive, that you,
then everyone's like, you know, you have to forgive and forget.
Whatever.
You don't have to do that.
If they did something that is unforgivable to you or you just choose or feel not to forgive them, then you don't forgive them.
And that is 100% okay, period.
I mean, what also, it depends how much you're dealing with it and thinking about it.
Like if it's really affecting your relationships, if you think about it all the time or every day, you know what I mean?
Then maybe there's some work you have to do on it.
But is that necessarily forgiveness?
bro, what even is forgiveness, honestly?
Think, like, what is it?
What, what is forgiveness?
I, I, I don't really understand the whole idea of it.
You, you're, you're, you're now saying, okay, that happened.
I'm moving on.
Are you mad at yourself for forgetting Chronicles of Ritaker there?
Yeah.
forgiveness would be saying
I'm okay
it's okay that I did that
it's not okay I'm answering your question
though it's okay that I did that
I'm pissed off stuff
life will can okay it's fresh it's raw
it's pretty it's real raw yeah
it's okay that that happened
I forgive myself for forgetting
that in that moment
that's not what my life will always be like and we can move on we as you uh and and i'm going to put
that in my past let it be what it was and now we're moving forward yeah it's just an example
so so then forgiveness is about is for yourself a lot of people would a lot of people would say that
I don't think I forgive people that have betrayed me and wronged me.
I don't think I forgive them.
Does that mean I want to kill them?
No.
Does it, you know, does it means I don't want to talk to them?
And you, okay, that's it.
That was the thing that was bullshit.
You don't need to confront the person and talk to them.
Oh, definitely not.
Yeah.
So you don't need to do that.
that, forgiveness is a fucking, to me, forgiveness has always been kind of like a made up thing.
Like, like, because if somebody really wronged you, okay?
And you choose to forgive them, you could, that person could still get out of you, the
angreness of, let's just say she was fucking, somebody stepped on her face when she was younger.
okay like every
every Wednesday to go it's fucking face stepping time
hey it's face stepping we know today
Tuesday they'd be like because tomorrow you know what it is
and she'd be like no I don't you know
but it had to happen right
her uncle stepped on her fucking face every day
every Wednesday
I mean it's such a crazy thing to make up
well if I say what no no go go okay but you know what I'm saying
yes yes and I'm not even saying that that could be a metaphor
for whatever it is say it was face stepping say it was that
so I'm trying to do you trying to fucking I'm just saying it's crazy
just make that specific thing up.
It's funny.
That's why I make the big bucks, you know what I'm saying?
Okay, keep on.
So anyway, you move on and you go, what was I talking about?
What was I talking about?
Yeah, but why, what that means?
What, what the value of forgiveness might be?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it now.
So you get, so you say, okay, you know what?
Everyone's got their shit.
That dude stepped on my face because of his own reasons every Wednesday.
I got nothing to do.
He's got nothing to do with me.
I'm going to let that go.
All right.
Even if I see him,
whatever,
he did what he did.
For me,
I forgive him.
You're at Dairy Queen.
Right now I am?
No.
Later on years later,
this is at Dairy Queen.
Tara is at Dairy Queen.
I cannot believe remember her name.
but gone. Yeah, because that name
is always a name I remember. It's one of those names.
Interesting. I'm like Riddick.
Damn.
Exactly. Now you're, so if I forget myself
with Riddick, this is my whole point. And you
then barbed me about the Riddick.
No, I'm helping reinforce that you remember.
So what I'm saying is she's at Dairy Queen later.
And years later, two decades later.
Oh, well. Okay. Yeah, I'll have, you know,
bullshit toppings. She looks like somebody who gets like
fucking, yeah, Swedish fish in it, even though
That doesn't make sense.
Even though Swedish fish is good as its own and it's definitely not good in yogurt, that's what I'll have just because I fucking, I like stuff.
You know what I mean?
Can I sample the uncle stomps on your face every once that flavor?
No, no, no, no, no.
So, yo, thanks.
Oh, shit.
Look, to my right.
It's face stomper.
Okay?
Oh, okay.
Okay.
I haven't seen this guy in decades, but I've forgiven him.
Sure.
So you know what?
Okay.
I feel good in myself.
I'm seeing face stomper
and it's not activating anything inside my body.
No, I mean, it doesn't erase trauma.
No, no, no, I know.
Okay, okay, go.
Please.
And then the guy goes,
Oh, hi, how are you?
You go, oh, I'm good.
He says, I'm actually, I want to apologize.
I've stomped out of your face every one.
She says, you know what?
I've actually, I've, I've, I'm okay with that.
I've dealt with this.
I dealt with you.
And it goes like this.
But thank God.
it's not Wednesday today, huh?
Well, how's she gonna feel?
She's gonna be fucking pissed off.
She's probably gonna be re-traumatized.
Right.
Yeah.
I rest my case.
I don't know what your case is.
What's forgiveness if that you can fucking trigger somebody just like that?
You're not really forgiving anything.
It's a fucking made-up thing.
But no, no, no, but forgive.
Hey, dude.
Hey, I'm saying.
Good thing it's fucking Tuesday.
Good thing is Tuesday, bitch.
I mean, first of all, you're dealing with the greatest psychopath of all time
of this man does this.
after 20 years.
Oh, you may have gotten over it, but I haven't.
Thanks guys, thank God it's Tuesday, bitch.
Eat your stuff.
We're going to be tomorrow.
You come here every day?
I'll be here at 3.30 tomorrow if you want to get your fucking face-stop.
Why is he eat like that?
Because he's just so carefree.
He's just fucking dancing and eating.
And he's backing out of the dairy green.
Oh, wow.
What a fucking see you tomorrow, bitch.
3-30, you won't get your fake face-top.
Similar bitch, you know.
The single worst human alive.
She'd be seething.
My point is you can't really forgive someone.
Seathing and being retramatized or having your trauma triggered is not the same thing as not forgiving someone.
It isn't?
No.
I know it's not the same thing.
Forgiving someone doesn't absolve you of your trauma.
Okay.
Forgiving someone is, as you said, for yourself so you're not stewing and thinking about
and whatever it is that you're doing,
toward that person in your mind wasting mental energy on them.
What you say is, I surrender to what they've done, I forgive them,
they got their own shit, they're fucked up,
in this case, this guy's the greatest psychopath on the planet fucking Earth,
but most people aren't, but still,
you just say, you know what, they are who they are,
it happened to me
that's unfortunate
but I forgive them
because if I don't
it's going to eat at me
yeah I get it
but okay
the trauma doesn't necessarily
that is a step toward
lessening the trauma sometimes
it can be and it often is
but
go ahead
no go ahead
but
forgive me you curse your bitch
right
I'm gonna sit on your face right now
you figure me right afterwards right bitch
I mean it looks like you're fucking
when you do that
no he's eating
he's eating the fucking
I don't know I get it but when you're
And as he's eating he's backing out of the
Looks the backing up looks like fucking
To me
Like yes see what I'm saying
Getting butt fucked fucked
Oh like getting butt fucked fucked
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Well no he's not getting butt fucked fucked
Oh sorry
Excuse me I'm sorry for misreading that
Um
Did we answer her first question
Uh yeah we did
Oh, no, not really.
What was it, Chris?
No, she was saying, she was saying, should I, for, do you have to forgive somebody?
For your well-being.
Do you have to forgive someone for your well-being?
If you do, right.
I think that's what-
I think that's the answer.
But there's no rule just because some book that was written 2,000 years ago when people
thought fucking God brought floods and when they didn't, they killed their firstborn.
when they wrote those books,
they didn't exactly know everything.
They knew a lot.
There's a lot of wisdom in those books.
There's a lot they didn't know.
But there's a lot they didn't know.
And just because those books say
forgiveness is whatever those various books say
because they say different things,
whether it's Buddhist or fucking Christian or whatever,
forgiveness is not a thing that you,
if you don't feel it,
you can't force it.
You can't be like, I forgive this person when you don't.
So therefore, it has to be okay that you cannot forgive someone.
Because if you can't do it, then you're just lying to yourself.
And I would argue that there's probably nothing worse than lying to yourself.
So, you know, as they say, time hits.
hills all wounds. It doesn't.
Just flagging that for you. It doesn't. But it does lessen things. And, you know,
well, I mean, forgiveness is something that either comes or it doesn't. You can't force it.
So if you're like, I need to forgive this person to feel better to get over. If it's not
coming, it's not coming. And don't put more pressure on yourself because the more pressure you put
on yourself, the less likely you are to actually forgive. Yeah. Appreciate it. Forgiveness 101.
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
And I appreciate you for saying that.
That was a good thing.
Me?
No, no, what she was brought to the table was, was, you know, it was like a real thing.
It was a good submission.
What do you think about what I said, though?
Yeah, I mean, it's kind of what I said.
Fucking piece of shit.
Well, dude, I mean, if I'm a piece of shit, you're a piece of shit, because what I said,
kind of what I said, and you're eating ice cream backing up, like getting butt fuck.
Not that similar.
that similar. I said the other thing too, though, that you kind of said. And then and then I added a
fucking some flavor with the literal flavor. Yeah. All right. I even knew what he, what, I even knew what
flavor he was eating with topping the toppings he was eating when I was doing it, by the way. That's how
crazy I am. Well, what was it? It was vanilla with chocolate chips. That's so basic. He's a fucking
lunatic. Do they have any other toppings? No, that was it. He just got the, the, there's,
There's vanilla with chocolate chips in it and that's what he ate.
No, no, no, it's vanilla.
Yeah, and then he got the chocolate chips and put the chocolate chips.
Oh, so he put the, okay.
Yeah, and he does that every time he goes because he's a fucking lunatic and he needs to have
vanilla with the chocolate chips.
He's a fucking asshole.
He's a huge asshole.
Well, he fucking stomped her face for fucking, you know, all of the stuff.
You created the biggest asshole on the planet, yeah.
Yeah, in my face, he stomped on somebody's, everyone's head, every one.
When they were a child.
Yeah, yeah.
And then 20 years later, tormentor.
tormentor.
You can't stop going to Dairy Queen eating the fucking...
When he ran into her to Dairy Queen reminded her of it.
And called her a bitch.
And walked out backwards eating his vanilla with chocolate chips.
Yeah.
Well, that's just a crazy person.
But yeah, anyway.
So that's it.
Thank you.
Come to Brea.
Come to Washington, D.C., come to Miami.
