Welcome to the Adam Friedland Show.
The podcast.
The podcast.
I'm with the Adam Friedland Show podcast.
Welcome the Adam Friedland Show podcast.
I'm enjoying my Nick.
I'm Adam.
How are you Nick?
I'm alright.
I'm good.
It's beautiful outside.
It is.
I went all the way to the ants.
I had some pressle bites.
It's always good for me.
You enjoy it, though.
They're good.
Kind of like a mental health break.
I wouldn't say that, just sort of enjoying pretzel bites.
Not everything has to be self-care now.
I don't understand that.
I'm not one of those people.
What you just call eating pretzel bites a mental health break.
I don't know.
It's something that makes you happy. They just taste good. And people, how does that make you feel?
People used to just, how does that make you feel? People used to just live their lives and they
would enjoy things. Not everything had to be like some sort of process in like, you know, like escaping trauma.
I don't know, everything's branded now as trauma.
Yeah.
I don't understand.
Yeah.
Speaking of trauma, I'll be in Austin, Texas tomorrow night,
the first of June through the third,
five shows at Cap City Comedy.
Nick, where are you next?
I'm gonna stay Diego. San Diego, hell of a city.
June 15th through June 17th at San Diego, the American Comedy Club.
Also July 13th through 15th, I'll be at Cap City Comedy Club in Austin.
Amazing.
So next month, if you want to go see that, I'll be at Cap City Comedy Club in Austin. Amazing. So next month, if you wanna go see that,
I'll be at Cap City.
Amazing.
Competing dates.
I don't know if they're really competing.
No.
Well, you got to catch them all.
You got to see Nick and me.
Six weeks apart.
Six weeks apart, yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, yeah, I'm not trying to brand your pretzels as trauma
or a coping mechanism for trauma.
I'm not being defensive.
I'm making a general point about the way.
I'm just saying if it tastes good,
it makes you feel good, sure.
Yeah.
That's what a tasty thing does to someone.
If you have a candy, if you have an ice cream snickers,
it tends to make a person feel better.
Or good, just good, not better, good.
Yeah.
What'd you get?
The small pretzels?
I got pretzel bites.
Yes.
The bites.
How many did you have?
I don't know.
I don't count how many.
It doesn't.
I have no idea.
You housed them on the walk back here.
It does not have that many.
The walk around the block had a couple of fragile bites.
Yeah.
We've had some frustrations here at the studio
getting set up today, but we're on course right now.
We're feeling good.
Yeah, everything's working now.
We feel good about it.
We feel good about it.
Yeah we need better HDMI cables.
Those things like fail fairly frequently.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No these ones are garbage.
And who's fault is it?
It's mine.
I got them.
You didn't. It's not your fault.
Yeah, I got them at Moichis, Lake Frolix, going out of business.
You know what? How about this? This is big on YouTube.
Because we're trying to get YouTube. We're doing tech reviews.
Go ahead. Right? So a lot of people look, maybe we'll do a different preview image for this,
where it's like, you can be superimposed like the camera and then you can do like a soy face. What the fuck?
Yeah, it's a
Be our review of the black magic pocket cinema 4k
Which came out probably like eight years ago, so nobody's looking at reviews of it and what's your like a star system that you've
identified I Don't know. I think we should use a little pineapples. Uh-huh What's your like a star system that you've identified?
I don't know.
I think we should use a little pineapples.
Uh-huh.
Because you know, that makes your com taste better.
Yes.
The more pineapples, the better the com taste.
The better the com taste.
Yeah, so it's unlimited.
I guess, yeah.
You probably want to cap it.
So if you give something 15 pineapples.
Yeah, if you want to go that far on a 15 point system.
You're going up to 15.
Okay.
Yeah.
Anyways, now the cameras are good.
What does it come and taste like?
What?
Has a gal ever told you?
I don't know.
Anyways.
And you've got...
Oh, review, review.
So you want to keep that separate.
We bought these and they all have the raw light OLPF filter in there, which Ed tells us
is just in case somebody has like a shirt with a pattern on it that's supposed to help.
Was it more A?
More A.
Again, what's it called? More Was it more A? More A?
What's it called?
More A.
More A.
More A.
With that, and then also the blacks won't be as red looking.
What do you mean by blacks?
They have like a red, they look muddy.
They look like a red issue.
I guess you put those filters in.
But if doing it all over again, I would have gotten a studio.
They have the same camera, but for what we do.
You know, so they got a bigger monitor on there.
And the tally lights have little numbers you can put on them.
It comes with a set of numbers.
So you can just one, two, three on the camera.
What is like the distinction from a red light?
Well, when everything was fucked up, we had Ginsburg out here and we're setting everything
right up.
Correct.
He was having trouble keeping track of which ones were which.
Sorry, there's now this tape all over everything.
Yes.
It's tape.
It's tape.
It's not a good system.
It's tape.
How does he say it?
Who?
It's tape.
People will know. It doesn't matter.
What guy? Doesn't matter. But why can't I know? Yeah, they weren't recording. So now they're
recording and feels good. What time is it? It is now 1236. It's taken her approximately three hours
and six minutes to troubleshoot this.
So how many pineapples?
What, of the black magic?
The pocket 4K.
I don't know, I haven't used any other camera.
Yeah. So I have no idea.
Let's say 15.
All right.
And then it'll revise.
Yeah.
Depending on, it'll be the good of zero or stay 15.
No, that's the other thing too
We only give either 15 pineapples or not or zero. Yeah, yeah, something's awesome or terrible. Yeah
So check it out black magic 4k. It's what?
$1,500 there's something like that you probably find them on sale. You probably might use now. I think they got a new one out
The studio. Yeah, well, no, that's a different camera. I think they got a new one out. The studio.
Yeah.
Well, no, that's a different camera.
I think they have a new 4K Pro or something.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Cool.
But if this show ever starts, you know,
the money starts going in the other direction,
you know what I mean?
It goes up.
If the money starts going up.
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe at some point we'll swap the cameras out.
Yeah.
Yeah. And then you know. cameras out. For the studio cameras,
but the big monitor is on there. We could get rid of some of these cables too, because
I think you only need one. The problem with these is they only have HDMI out. They don't
have SDI. You just need one run of SDI, strike that, save the cables for something else.
Would you be opposed to having like an NYU-tish summer fellowship kind of person around
here?
We'd pay them.
I know how you feel about it.
We've done that.
We've already do that.
We've had crew and people in here.
Yeah.
But like on a consistent basis.
For college credit.
To do what?
No tidy.
Yeah, we had that.
You got rid of them.
You get into fights with everybody.
What are you talking about?
Well, you asked me.
Yeah, that would be great.
Have someone in here the tidy
So you're going to Austin if you have any plans for Austin. Yes, what are you doing?
I'm going to
Big mom this house. Oh, they got that down there. Yeah, Martin Lawrence. It's where they only do that with with friends and
Cheers and sign felt
friends and
Cheers and sign felt Do what they do like pop-ups without the set of sign felt or they'll do Central Park
They'll do the friends yes coffee shop in the West Village the exterior of the friends. Yeah, they'll have that
Yeah, they should do it with big mama's house. They should yeah, or the death star
They should build a full-sized death Star that takes up all of downtown Manhattan.
And you can go in there.
I think it's a little bit bigger.
The Death Star?
It's a planet destroyer.
It's the size of a moon, right?
That's the size of a moon.
That's what they say.
Yeah.
How big is the moon?
Oh.
It's Texas.
Yeah.
That's the thing I'd already say.
With the flat earth stuff, is the moon also flat?
Yes. Yeah, that's a picture. How already say with the flat earth stuff is the moon also flat. Yes Yeah, that's a picture
It's how does that work? Let me see what are they say?
Do you know a flat earth earth in your life? No, no me neither I think it's a fake thing. It's a fake thing
Kyry Irving is the only one I've ever heard about how flat there's explained total lunar eclipses?
Hmm.
So what else you got planted awesome while I look this up? Um, gonna hit some taco spots.
When's the last time we were back?
Awesome.
Yeah.
Probably March of 2022 when I did Creek in the Cave. What did you
make of the change? What do you mean? Has it changed? Well, every is less weird.
Every city is always changing. I'd say even when I lived in Austin, you know, you get
the old heads like the guys that lived there in the 90s. Yeah. And they've Alex Jones.
Yeah, well, yeah.
Yeah.
But they say, you know, all Austin's changed.
You know, it's funny about Alex Jones.
He used to just be this sort of like, you know, just like a weird guy lived in Austin.
It was sort of like a conspiracy terrorist.
And back then, it was like harmless.
And now he's, you know, it's crazy to see what he's turned into.
You think he's harmful now?
People interpret him that way.
I don't know whether I guess you could say yes in the grand scheme of things.
I don't really care to defend or condemn Alex Jones.
I think the world does enough of that itself.
I don't only God can judge me.
Sure.
That's why I said.
Yeah, I just, yeah, I mean, I would say people think
he's like harmful now, but it is kind of, it's nice.
You know, that's like the,
this is sort of a charitable interpretation,
but like the story of, you know,
like people pitch Barack Obama as this guy
that represents hope, you know, is like, there was whole this guy that represents hope, you know,
it was like, it was the whole thing, it's hope, you know, and it's because it's first black
president, right, which is like a milestone to overcome.
But honestly, it would have been more impressive if it was like, 1960 maybe, you know, not like
2008.
Right.
You know what I mean?
If he got like more than half of the electorate to vote for him then yeah
I mean that would be yeah, but there was no like that would be crazy no one was trying I get at the time
It's like you already had a black president on the show 24
Which is a pro torture?
You know like islamaphobic show, you know, that's like probably one of the most right wing shows, you know, in television,
and even they were like black presidents.
Republicans were running black us, you know?
Well, just for fun.
For fun, but, you know, Alan Keyes could have been president.
No, he could have been.
He could have been.
No, he could have.
Yeah, well, he had that weird, curmud voice.
Sure.
But I guess not to take anything away from Obama
being the first black president.
But they say that, OK, this is a camp.
Can you believe it?
And it's like, yes, of course, I can believe it.
What would have been impressive in 2008, which I think also
did, is Chinese lady president. That know, that you didn't see.
You wouldn't see that.
But you said 24 did already, so.
I know.
Your standard is that Obama's not impressive
because 24 did it.
The point I'm making is that Donald Trump,
that truly represents hope.
Because he's probably the worst guy.
Like the worst guy you could come up with.
In the world.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's a guy who takes his dad's racist landlord month.
Yeah.
Lose his most of it.
Yeah.
Turns his name into a thing.
Destroy his like, you know, like nationally protected, you know, buildings.
Yeah.
He's fucked up.
Atlantic City.
He does all these bad things,
raping children, some of them his family maybe.
I mean, he does all these bad stuff.
And then on top of that, it's not like, you know, like people say,
talk about, oh, can you separate the art from the artist, right?
Yeah.
Like Polanski, we talk about Polanski.
It's like, because there is where, you know, you do, I do, at least inki. It's like because there is where you know, you do I do at least in my head
There's there's people who are you know, it's like I love China town, right?
I love that movie the movie not the place. Yeah, well and the place but the movie okay
and you know you think about like
Roman Polanski raping a child. And I try not to.
And in my head, like, I see it happening, right?
I visualize.
I don't, I mean.
You shouldn't.
Okay.
But this young girl drug scared Roman.
And Roman Polansky, he comes in.
He's four foot eleven.
You know, she doesn't exist.
This is a nightmare child.
You can do a tour of them.
Yeah.
He's very awesome.
And power is alpha.
And it, yes. It's the 70s. of them. Yeah. He's very awesome. He's very awesome. He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome.
He's very awesome. He's very awesome. He's very awesome. He's very awesome. He's very awesome. And like this great thing are just like sort of intrinsically linked. And more and more in my head, Chinatown just is superimposed and completely obfuscates this
bad thing that he did.
You know?
Whereas if you told me Larry the cable guy raped a 12-year-old girl.
Yeah, bad.
I would imagine him on stage doing the voice raping the girl for an
audience of people
stadium and i wouldn't be thinking of of his material
if that makes any sense
and i guess you're talking about uh...
uh... i'm talking about Donald Trump stuff
this is a lot of
so bomb it's a don't know well i guess yet
but to play and see. But Alex Jones.
To the film, China's home.
To the fact that Alex Jones could possibly be sued
for what was at $300 billion or something
out of the sense.
Yeah, that's brilliant.
We started off as just a guy on like AM radio.
You know what I mean?
And like local AM radio.
I thought public access.
Public access, something.
Something else.
He was already well into his 30s.
And it's like, that's a hopeful thing in a negative.
It's aspirational.
Yeah.
The fact that Donald Trump could become president
despite being this guy.
So you're like celebrating the achievement.
The achievement for some of us.
And you say the foragumama.
Who do you say? Barely
achieved anything. Well, who do you think? Because it wasn't
the most likely president. The guy is a
the half black guy that's a like constitutional lawyer.
Half I was able to one drop. Yeah, but half
African. And you know, the Afri.. Well he is, he's half Kenyan. Okay.
You know?
Yeah.
Obama or you're saying who's less likely?
Or Alex Jones going from AM radio.
You know, or Donald Trump, a pedophile failed business man who's inherited racist landlord
money and
television star also
a celebrity yeah who's less likely
prior to all this who's less likely
i don't know there's never been a black guy
let's put it this way if let's say
it's gonna be Rudy right
okay i like this i can relate to this
i can relate to this. Let's just add the element. I can relate to this. That Rudy is racist.
Okay.
You know, Rudy is like,
and good guy.
Okay, go ahead, go ahead. No, let's add that he's racist.
Okay.
Does that make it, what is the movie,
are you still rooting for Rudy?
No, I wouldn't say.
It's a sympathetic character.
It's not a sympathetic character.
Or a protagonist, yeah.
But it would still function as a movie.
No, I don't know if people would see it.
Is there like a guy's too short to play
at Notre Dame football? Right, and he's also... But in fact, there like a guy's too short to play at Notre Dame football?
Right, and he's also
pointed the fact that he's a white supremacist.
So, but he just happens to be a white supremacist.
He's a people, okay.
But he's like the least qualified guy to play football.
Yeah, he doesn't have science.
Yeah.
If you put your like, like,
mind, which is already operating in a
diminished capacity to it, you can become president or you can you can play another
day. Yeah. You're saying as a film character as a guy in general. I guess what? What? I'm just trying to wrap my head around this.
Well, both.
You're saying,
Okay, how about this?
Is it more of an achievement if someone is repugnant?
I would say that there are plenty of people that have achieved in athletics.
Donald Trump is a racist.
That we're a racist.
Rudy, right?
Yeah, but it's not like Barack Obama.
One could argue a lot of presidents were racists, no?
Yeah, but it's not like Barack Obama is.
That doesn't make it an achievement, you know what I mean?
Is radio?
Yeah, he's not radio.
If radio became president, it would be more impressive than Barack Obama.
I will conceive that.
Yeah, right.
So now let's just imagine instead of being black, radio was racist, white guy.
Okay.
And mentally handicapped.
And yeah, diminished capacity.
Okay, slow.
Right.
Can you say what slow?
Slow.
Yeah, why not?
Hmm.
Who knows these days? So you're saying that Barack Obama because what because he was
just black
or half black?
It doesn't represent as big of an accomplishment as
Alex Jones's assent or brought or or
Don Trump's assent. Don't a Barack Obama becomes president yes barely in
spite of one thing that's like you know it's like I don't even say like feel comfortable
saying that that he became president in spite of being black you know what I mean
what do you think don't Trump becomes president in spite of bad personality list of things.
Yeah, it's done bad things. Right. Television star. That's the one thing that helps him.
I mean, it's a big thing, especially in our society, people love television star. Yeah.
Yeah. Obama didn't have that going for him. In many ways, you could say that it's more of an achievement for Obama to do it,
than Trump as someone with a network television show.
I guess it's like, I see Donald Trump is,
so you compare Donald Trump and Barack Obama.
And we'll use David and Goliath as an example.
Regular David and Goliath, everybody understands that story.
Well, I had a little bit of nuance, right?
So you have one David and Goliath where David is the same size as the giant, but he's
black.
And then David and Goliath, David is black.
David is black, but he's the same size as the giant.
Well, it doesn't work as a story.
David is rooting against him because it's 6,000 years ago.
Oh, because they were racists then.
Yeah.
Okay.
And Donald Trump's story is, he's still the same size as David, but he's racist.
But everyone was.
Who is more, who is closer to the real David?
Well, 6,000 years ago, when most people were racist as you're claiming I
wasn't there. I guess it's more of an accomplishment for David. The Donald Trump
the racist David. I thought you said Obama is David. They're both David. So you
started with David and Goliath, right? The regular story.
Okay, yeah. All right, so you just...
I'm following, I'm following.
Here's David, here's Goliath, right?
Who's bigger?
Here's Donald Trump, David.
All right, Donald Trump, David.
Regular Goliath.
Who?
Okay, hold on.
Who? Third. David Goliath. Who? Okay, hold on. Who?
Third.
David Goliath.
Okay.
Donald Trump Goliath.
Barack Obama Goliath.
Okay, Goliath Same, Crossport.
All three.
Same ones.
All three.
Same Goliath in every scenario.
Okay.
Same Goliath.
Obama and Trump are David's.
David is David.
Donald Trump, David also.
Barack Obama also David.
Okay, three David's.
Three David's, you have three Goliaths.
The middle ground is the story we know.
A little guy.
We shot.
A little guy.
The odds are against him.
He's fighting a giant.
He's got a slingshot, right?
Now Barack Obama, like now David, same size as the giant, you take away this advantage,
this disadvantage, the racial disadvantage, right?
And if the Barack Obama was just a senator from Illinois that people liked was very charismatic
that you know could speak well.
Great speaker.
Yeah, one of the greatest orators of all time.
Nice smile.
Yeah.
Right, you know, like that got all things
because he's the same.
He's the same size as the lights, right?
That's not a guy where you think,
okay, this guy can't be president, you know what I mean?
Uh-huh.
Right, so he's the, so he's the same size,
but he's black, right?, the Donald Trump one, he's
still small. He has none of the qualifications. There's nothing that you would say, like,
oh, this guy can't, this guy can't be president, right? Because it's disqualified for all these
things. And on top of that, he's a bad person. So he's just base level, unqualified for the job. Even if he wasn't
raised, you know what I mean? Even people didn't like him. But you're adding
something on top of it. So he's further away from the David and Goliath story
than David itself, whereas this is a more like a equitable matchup.
match up. You fall? I'm just saying it's cool that Alex Jones kept working. It got to the point where he could be sued by those families for saying that
they didn't pay. It was a come-up. It was a come-up. Yeah, you know. But why is...
why is Donald Trump in your example smaller than Obama?
Because he's unqualified because he's uniquely unqualified for the job.
Okay, sure. Yeah.
But Obama's, so you're saying it's more of an accomplishment.
Is that the point?
It's more, it's a, more of a David versus a Goliath.
If you were to add nuance to the story.
Because Obama is a product of the system.
I don't say he's a product of the system.
What's his some extent?
He's a mainstream politician.
Yeah, right.
Very qualified for the job.
I guess it doesn't matter.
No, no, I see where you're saying.
It is an
accomplishment but in many ways Trump was a mirror to all of us, right? To
our own ugliness. Maybe we're all terrible people and maybe we all aspire to be
terrible people that are also firing meatloaf on celebrity apprentices.
No, we're the American people, we're Goliath.
We're Goliath.
We're Goliath, yeah.
So winning an election is defeating all of us.
Yeah.
Okay.
Tricking people in the same time.
Wait, why do you say there are three Goliaths?
What?
You said there are three.
There are three.
Who are the other two?
It's the same and each one so it's three trip. It's a trip. I'm tired of this now
Why not because you understand you understand what I'm saying
You're just saying that it's a you're making me explain it over and over and over
You're saying it's more impressive, right?
Yes, okay
Not in a way because you can't take...
You're saying it's more...
You can't take the word impressive to me and this is a good person.
You're saying, yeah, you overcame more?
If I saw the most racist guy in the world that should jump over the Grand Canyon, I wouldn't
be like evil, can evil. Yeah, but very wise, why is this name? Yeah.
If I saw that, he still would have jumped over the grand
canyon. You know what I mean? Now, if I saw black evil,
con evil do it, I wouldn't be like, well, why can't, you
know, but he's black. What is the first guy to do it? What
do you mean? Well, if he's the first black guy.
First black guy to jump over the ground.
Yeah, it's something of note.
I guess, but you're like, oh, he wasn't racist like the guy that jumped over the ground.
If a racist guy that didn't know how to ride a motorcycle, the couldn't hide his own shoes,
jumped over the ground, came.
And then the best black motorcycle
going in the world did it.
I wouldn't be like, wow.
You know what I mean?
But if a racist guy did it, you'd be like incredible.
If you're particularly incompetent.
If a racist guy did it on a tricycle.
But if you, okay, imagine the presidency,
this guy's got some bad ideas.
So in high school, they say class council is just a popularity contest, right?
This is someone that was already incredibly popular.
So it's not incompetence.
No one's looking at his resume before they vote for him.
They're looking at who's more popular in their in their mind
So it's not like he was
From the slums of Calcutta
Who Donald Trump? Yeah, yeah, I didn't say he's from the slums of Calcutta. I'm just saying like it's it's he was already a very famous person
You know you need something. I mean obviously it couldn obviously it couldn't be that's how he became the
president yet there's people like to show
but there's all the
is already all right whatever is all these other things
like what him being racist
you think there are people there are like one thing i'm saying there's all these
other things in the squalaf on you think they're okay you think that there are people in the ballot
box mits romney also already
popular people you know
business was in popular was pop
people
no one liked them ever yeah
i don't know i'm just saying don't want one because he was more because he was i'm trying to have a good. I'm just saying Donald Trump won because he was more,
because he was, I'm just trying to have a good day.
I'm just saying that, okay, I'm just trying to feel,
try to look at the bright side of things.
What, that, Brock, it wasn't that impressive
that Brock of us, not what I said.
I said that it's, there's also an impressive element.
Whatever, fine, you're right.
No, it's not a debate.
It's a thought exercise, right?
What do you mean?
I don't know, I guess you tell me.
You presented this, right?
Okay.
I mean, Donald Trump was in a home loan too.
Yeah, but so was what's his name?
Joe Pesci. He's not president. He could. I mean he could have been. No I can't. He's 5'4".
What do you mean? He's like Rudy. There've been 5'4s.
Who? John Quincy Adams. Madison. Madison is 5'4. Yeah. That's awesome.
I mean, everyone's 5'4 back then. I don't think so. That's not true.
Yeah. Both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were over six feet. George Washington was a giant.
But Thomas Jefferson was tall too. Yeah. He was like Thomas Jefferson. Washington was 6-3 I think.
Yeah, Thomas Jefferson was six two.
Yeah, everyone was like two feet tall back then.
Yeah, James and Andrew Jackson, six one.
Wait, did I get it right on Madison?
This is Fox.
He says Franklin Roosevelt, six two, but it's like,
hmm, yeah, come on.
Shortest ever.
Let's be honest.
I think James Madison is a shorter server. Wait, is Lincoln the tallest ever?
I think it's like 72.
Yeah.
What do you think?
He was 64, but what it like,
it's sixfold.
They should have Beetlejuice, his president.
That would be cool.
That would be great.
Yeah.
That if Beetlejuice became the president,
post Obama, becoming the second black president, it would, in my
estimation, be a greater triumph.
It'd be more impressive.
I'll grant you that.
You think he's a Republican, no? You saw the Bill Marriots of Stern, where he said that he's a...

That's the reference to the 8 million men.
And I'd say that's a little, you know, if you've had
testicular cancer, you're still a man.
So in my book.
Don't let this copy bully you into thinking you're not a man
if you have one ball.
Maybe they've done the math and it's been offset by the guys that are born with three balls.
How many of those guys are?
I have no idea.
Adam, if you ever hurt your genitals.
Oh, trancellly.
Yeah.
What happened?
Do you have a story about a time that you've...
Oh my God.
Don't get me started. I was about to, you know, make whoopee.
Yeah. And I noticed that my pubes were longer than the tip of my cock.
And I was like, what am I going to do? I used rusty shears.
And I almost completely cut off my own penis.
Yeah.
It was hanging on by what the doctor said was just one layer of skin.
You know, I tell you, it was just labor day.
So we can relay a piece of labor history.
Solidarity.
Solidarity.
Solidarity.
Yeah. One of the biggest elves in labor history is the Australia's biggest union.
They're like the guys that organized the sheep's shirts.
Right.
They had a rule in the 1920s that banned people from using, you know, they would have the
clippers and the clippers back then.
I think they were all like, dealt driven or something, but they had these weird metal arms
that would attach to them.
There was guys that were, there was the most talented ones, they called them gun shears
or whatever, because they were the fastest.
And you got paid by how many sheep you could put on the board by the end of the day.
And so they bring all the sheep in and they cheer them.
And the union dictated that you couldn't use cones that were wide.
There was like a witful limit to the cones.
And it wasn't based on anything other than the guys that were the best of the job would
use the wide cones.
And so they would do it faster.
Oh, it was a cheating.
Well, it's not cheating.
I mean, it made it more productive, I guess.
And so they made a rule against it.
And in the 1970s, all these day laborers would come over from New Zealand and in violation of
the union's rules, they would use the wide shear.
And then it turned into this big thing that people would fight in the streets about it.
It was this whole big issue over these New Zealand guys using the wide shearers because
they were better.
Eventually they were non-union. Yeah, they might have been, or I don't know, they tried to, I wide shears because they were better and eventually they they were non-union
Yeah, they might have been or you know, I don't know they tried that I don't know if they were were non-union or they're in the union They're in any way as I don't I don't remember all the details point is these are the equivalent. This is like the chat GPT of
Yeah, I know where you say we all know what you're saying. We all know what you're saying.
We all know.
They work better.
Yeah.
And a lot of ways you'd say the guys that were using the small ones, the less talented,
sort of the Donald Trumps, to the wide shears block of bomb.
And through sheer stick to itiveness, they, you know, why do you do a little slash in your eyebrow? You can do that
Yeah, so you hurt yourself with
With rusty scissors. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Yeah, well
the
These will reduce the chance of nicks and cuts.
And it's water proof.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, so you can use it.
So you can do it in a pool.
Yeah, you'll have a shower.

Oh my gosh.
Wow.
I mean this is like heavy duty. It is. You could nice feel to it. Oh my gosh. I mean, this is like heavy duty.
It is.
You could feel it.
Yeah.
This isn't some Chinese crap.
This is made in China, actually.
All right.
This is Chinese, but the good kind.
Yeah.
Well, China makes good shit now.
Oh, great.
If you're anti-Chinese manufacturing,
you're just, I think you're just a racist.
No, it's like an older thing.
Yeah.
In the 80s it was Japanese.
You were like, oh, I don't want to.
Yeah.
And then Sony came out and they were like, oh, they do a hell of a job.
They did a hell of it with consumer electronics.
Yeah.
And Korean stuff was like...
And then Samsung?
Well, yeah.
They just like, Koreans would just make fucking like toasters and like oscillating fans. Uh-huh
They were
Yeah, and then that shitty cars and it was Hyundai that flip the
Flip the script on them and Kia. Yeah, well, Honda did I I'm pretty sure if I remember crack
I was Honda that did it because Honda they they made shitty cars But they would they offered like like the for it was like a 10 year
Hundred thousand miles. Yeah, I remember that you just buy a shitty car and just have the engine replace 17 times
It's not bad deal. Yeah, no, not bad deal that changed people's perception of Han Dai
Yeah, and now look at you know career not sponsoring the show show but shout out to them and shout out to DeWoo and you know
everyone around the world.
Yeah.
Well I think that was a comprehensive ad read and it was the word perfect.
Yeah well we got to stick to the script because the the free. I mean are we allowed to say yeah
I was gonna say a big problem with apparently our
Our Batman that whole thing we did. Yeah, so they didn't like it
Yeah, so we'll try this hopefully they enjoy it and if not then is it the same ad bar?
It used the old show
We got away with a lot more stuff because people couldn't see us.
So they could imagine whenever they won their hat.
When it's 40 minutes on those pipes.
When it's too little worm men and you can see us.
As long as we're the same.
And we're like, oh, what the hell is this?
CBD gummies?
Where do you put that?
Your ass.
That's funny.
And people just don't like our faces, I guess. D. Gummies. Where do you put that? Your ass. That's funny.
And people just don't like our faces, I guess. Oh, we have nice faces.
I think it's that surprise.
So those pipe guys are like those fucking
like cannabis culture snobs.
We were like doing too many riffs
and they were like, we take weed seriously.
Yeah.
You got pissed at us.
Remember how, remember, back in the day, I feel like
everyone had this opinion that like the main reason to legalize weed, unless you know, I mean, A,
there's a bunch of people in prison for nonviolent offenses. Yeah. That's kind of fucked up. But
secondary to that is to kill weed culture, you know, because you can't be like a pot head if it's the thing that's legal.
Yeah. Nobody's like, dude, skittles, you know, like, I'm, man, I love watching Rick and Morty.
I think it worked. It did not work. It made it worse. Now, you know, it's legal, the fucking weed guys, your wayward.
How many of Noxious weed guys do you know in your own life? Not personally, but I don't know many people.
I used to know a ton.
As you were in college.
When I was younger, I thought the day they legalized weed
would be, people would run into the streets.
It was like the end of Star Wars.
I thought it was like, finally, and they did it
quietly, no one cared.
Yeah.
Yeah. You know, mm-hmm. I thought I was gonna be the the you know like a
Are you watching the Mandalorian by the way? No, are you I think now that we get it into it?
I've got a week sober. Yeah. How's it feel? I feel proud of you. I feel a lot better around yeah
I felt the wagon for a year.
And then I kind of offset that by being vegan.
I was like, oh, dude, I'll do the right thing for the world and hurt myself.
Yeah, okay.
And then.
That kind of makes an I mean.
Yeah, I started eating fish again and then I just completely fucking just stopped drinking
and then.
But no booze.
Yeah, no booze, but I had nachos probably the next day.
Yeah, you walked into the studio carrying a bag of bark.
Yeah.
Almost immediately.
And you said that alcohol makes you depressed.
Yeah.
Well, I was already, alcoholism is the symptom.
Sure.
You know.
Sure.
But yeah, no, I feel a lot better.
I feel a lot more stable.
So the Mandalorian?
I think that's a good test. Because I'm going to look, I'm a lot better. I feel a lot more stable. So the Mandalorian? I think that's a good test.
Because look, I'm an idiot, right?
Like I should be.
I know that whole Barack Obama, Donald Trump,
Alex Jones, David Colliette.
That was one of the smartest things I've ever.
Okay, go ahead.
I should be able to enjoy the Mandalorian.
As a dumb guy, I should be like, did you see what
would Boba Fett fucking his turns out as mom as Yoda or whatever the fuck happens on
that show. Is that what? Stuff like that should make me just over the move. Someone of
my intelligence, I should be delighted to find out that Yoda was a baby.
But you were never into that kind of stuff though. Yeah, I like Star Wars. You know
it was a beast, but prohibited you from that?
I don't think booze prohibited me.
I think I had an inability to enjoy.
I spent 10 years over prior to this,
and a lot of that time, as like,
you know, you call a dry drunk,
you know, where you can enjoy your life,
also just a cocaine addict.
That was the other thing too.
I stopped doing cocaine, immediately started drinking again.
It was almost like clockwork.
I don't know if the timeline works that way.
Pretty much does, because it was members.
Well, you were in a cocaine addict.
Last, I mean.
You did a lot of coke during COVID because everyone was getting fucked up.
Right, right.
But February's when we stopped.
It was in Chicago.
Remember?
You had a bad time.
I had a bad time.
Then I stopped and it was probably a week later I started drinking.
It's not we.
It's like you, like, I don't think you're making like deals with yourself, which is like,
I guess what addiction is, right?
You're like, I'll do this, I'll do that.
I'll do that.
I'm making a different point.
And this is, it's a trite point, and it's obvious, but.
The Mandalorian.
That, that, I'm just not enjoying my life, and I should be. And like, a better test is not, like, because I'm very, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, just not enjoying my life and I should be.
And like a better test is not,
because I'm very, I've also been very lucky.
Like, like, the way things have worked out
in spite of being Donald Trump basically
of racist landlord and kind of a pretty bad guy.
Honestly, I've been very lucky to have a lot of things
and I don't enjoy my life
And it's not like I shouldn't look to the things that I have because those are sort of like unique, right?
Like it shouldn't be like, okay, well if I have this problem and I'm drinking or doing whatever like you know
Doing things that are bad for me because I'm unhappy
So I need to reorient figure out how to enjoy my life
So I don't do those things rather than just abstaining from them.
It's not like I can look at these exceptional aspects of my life and find enjoyment in that, because like, what if I didn't have any of those things, right?
I should try to find the things that I would enjoy if I had none of those things, which would be stuff like the Mandalorian or Funko pops.
And if that doesn't satisfy you,
you'll pick up the ball.
No, that's not what I'm saying at all.
It's like I should figure out what mental work I need to do
so that someone like me watches the Mandalorian
and I enjoy it.
I don't know, maybe like hurt your brain.
Like, I don't need to hurt my brain.
Maybe it's just like a traumatic brain injury.
No, not a traumatic brain injury. Also, you should sort it and or, I hear it's a little a traumatic brain injury. No, not a traumatic brain injury.
Also, you should sort it and or,
I hear it's a little bit elevated from this.
Is that a different show?
Yeah, I hear it's kind of more like Brady.
It's so funny that people waited 30 years.
Well, yeah, hold on.
So each installment of the prequels,
like they waited 20 years for the new Star Wars movies,
right?
And those were dogs, and then we waited another 15 for the latest trilogy, and those were
somehow even worse than the prequels, right?
So they got progressively shitterier, but you had to wait all this time.
And then after the last series, now it's just 24-7 Star Wars.
They're just pumping out more Star Wars.
And somehow they have no problem just making as much
I think it's Disney bought Star Wars okay all right I think
that's what all right well that all stopped off I think that
listen I don't think that you should use the Mandalorian for
that as a litmus test no I think you should just I think it's a
matter of just like I don't know just being kind to your friends and family and just like I do and focusing on the
Relationships and bonds you're talking about behavior and it's not behavior. I'm talking about it. No, it gives life meeting
I am I think I am nice to my family
You're not that's what matters at the end of the day. Short matters, but that's still just trying to use behavior
to like change something internally.
Yeah, but maybe the problem is fixation with oneself.
The problem is perception.
No, maybe the problem is fixation with oneself.
And what way?
Just like thinking about like whether or not like
you can fix your ones.
I mean like okay, we're gonna get this conversation.
We'll game it out.
That's why that's not the right answer.
It's not. I'll tell you because there's plenty of people that do that.
They feel miserable and then either they self-harm or they do this thing where they say,
okay, well I'll just nullify myself and then focus on other people.
And then you're still sitting there.
It's not about nullifying yourself. Yeah. just nullify myself and then focus on other people. And then you're still sitting there.
It's not about nullifying yourself.
Yeah.
That's not what I'm advocating for.
What do you have a game for?
You said focus on,
I think another day what matters truly is the people
is having love and giving love.
I can't believe we're saying this on the show right now.
Mm-hmm.
So then what is then what's? And I saw it in person when my mom passed away.
Yeah and it didn't I didn't realize it until then but that's the only thing that
makes sense to me. Yeah and those are the people you want around yourself at
that moment. It's a completely separate thing from what I'm talking about.
How? In your day to day life. I'm not saying use that. I'm not completely separate thing from what I'm talking about. How?
In your day-to-day life.
I'm not saying use that.
I'm not saying use that to fix one's own brain.
Right?
What I'm saying is, think about what matters and think about what gives life meaning.
Well, I'm not, yeah, those things, those bigger questions are almost, they're easier to fixate on and find answers to than just like like enjoying the
day-to-day moments in your life that are banal.
Uh-huh.
And if you-
I'm not rejecting the Mandalorian thing.
I think you might be onto something.
Yeah, it might be, if it's nice to watch Mandalorian and it makes you feel good. That sounds awesome. Yeah, that sounds fucking awesome
But I'm saying
It's watching Mandalorian
It's not because if you want to flip it and try to make it in the other day
It's like if you want to flip it in an ego thing
It's like and that's why you know it's it's it's it's inherent in your statement
You need brain damage to enjoy the man. No, I was just kidding. I was being a snob
Exactly. You're being my dad loves Mandalorian being a snob is an extension of an overemphasis on the self and being an egotist
I watch all marvel and I know it's too good for Mandalorian
I don't know. I maybe I'd like it. I watch all crap
I think we should watch the Mandalorian.
I'd be happy to watch Mandalorian after this.
Yeah, sit there until we're like,
hell yeah, baby Yoda.
I mean, it's nice.
They spend a lot of money on it.
It's there, you know.
It's nice.
You know, it doesn't matter if it's good.
It's just there.
Well, why are you saying it doesn't matter if it's good. It's just there. Well, why are you saying it doesn't matter if it's good?
Because I watch all the Marvel movies.
But you're still watching them with the understanding that they're bad.
No, it's just there. They did it. They made the thing.
I don't care about black Adam, but I watched it.
Okay.
I don't care about Shazam, which I watched on Sunday.
But Shazam's old.
No, it's a new.
Oh, I'm thinking of Shack one. she's am old. No, it's a new. Oh, I'm thinking. It's on the shack one. It's
DC Comics. Kazam. Kazam. Kazam. Yeah. No, it's just, it's, it's there. I think the whole thing
complaining about it, that kind of crap is useless. It's just where, that's what's, that's what's
there. But can you enjoy it? Yeah, kind of. Yeah.
Because it's there.
All right.
Yeah.
They used to make other crap.
Maybe I would enjoy the Mandalorian.
It's not a matter of making you feel right about yourself.
It's not a matter of you watching Mandalorian
and feeling at peace with oneself.
But it's not the behavior.
It's just there.
But the behavior itself is not going to do it.
Something needs to change internally that will enable me to enjoy the Mandalorian. I don't disagree. I'm not
I don't disagree. Precesiously as a joke. I don't disagree. I said we should sit down
and watch the Mandalorian. I'm happy to know. And what I'm saying is I should sit
down and do whatever needs to be done. So that to accomplish that. If and when I do
sit down and watch the Mandalorian,
I say, tell me more about Bobo Fett's mom.
But what if your father are long?
And I just slap that shit on and you watch it.
And you just, you're like, all right.
Let's see what happens.
I don't think that's the right answer.
Why?
I think-
But maybe that tells you that shit isn't as bad as you think it is.
What do you mean?
You think that you're not intellectually capable, okay?
Of letting that shit wash over you, right?
Because you're not right and you're not right with yourself, right?
Yeah.
What if you just put it on and it just washes over you?
And you're like, this is fine, right? Maybe you'll find
that you are more right with yourself than you gave yourself credit for. Maybe
everything isn't as dire as you're prescribing for one's for yourself. I'm not
saying anything is dire. I'm just saying like maybe you just put that crap on and
it feels okay or it just feels like fine.
And fine is good too.
I think you should be excited about it.
I don't think I'm gonna call it gone.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
Then you're losing me.
Why?
Because it's just, what does that prove?
Imagine if you met data from so far.
That would be awesome.
Okay.
Yeah.
And that's just a component.
And data wouldn't give a fuck if I met him.
But that's the promise of Comic Con
is that you're going to meet data.
No, you're going to meet the guy that played data.
But he'll be data. He's not going to do data. He's going to be like, the guy that played data. But he'll be data.
He's not going to do data. He's going to be like, I'm a guy and I'm doing this for a check.
I feel really bad when I said that to Ernie Hudson. What'd you say? I said, you probably
do Comic-Con and stuff. And he's like, he's like, what do you mean? Like, I have to. I
didn't realize it was a condescending. But I thought it, because he's like a part of a nostalgia,
you know, media property.
It's rude, I guess.
I didn't meet it in a rude way.
Yeah.
It's rude, right?
Yeah, I mean, it seemed like he was kind of offended by.
Are we gonna go to convocontent, kind of stuff
or come down?
No.
In fact, that's why this started.
I definitely will.
For a check, I'll do anything.
With Alex Jones.
I mean, you'll probably...
You.
This has been a while, right?
Yeah.
You will probably do a genocide.
What do you mean a genocide?
I mean, you accused me of it.
A homophobic potential hate crime yesterday.
It was, definitely.
No, it wasn't, no it wasn't.
What was on camera?
No, it wasn't.
What do you mean uncomfortable to be around?
It was uncomfortable to be around.
No, you were deliberately doing something
that you knew was embarrassing for me in a costume shop.
Can I?
And then you said that I was reacting to it
because of my homophobia not because I saw that you
I didn't think we're trying to do something that you knew was embarrassing. I did not think first
We were trying to have me put on a costume. I thought I had expressed you a movie
I thought would be funny and you agreed it was funny and you think it's funny. I
In retrospect, I said I'll do anything for the show and stay tuned stay tuned
I will be wearing the costume on the next episode.
Don't blow, don't blow, don't blow, don't blow.
What's the costume?
They don't know.
It doesn't matter.
Point is, is it's not doing better as you.
It is about, it's funny.
I had expressed to you.
In the moment you were option, would it have been funnier?
Would it have been funnier?
Would it have been funnier?
It would have, I'll do it for the show.
Yes, I know.
I'll do it for the show.
Okay.
You wouldn't have won, you wouldn't have worn mine.
It wouldn't make sense. No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You wouldn't have worn that costume. If it was funny or? Yes.
It would have made it funny or?
Yes.
It would have been funny if you were.
It wouldn't have been funny or.
That's the, that is the thing.
You would have been as funny probably.
Funny or.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Now.
So, Alex Jones.
A genocide.
Okay.
Okay.
How do you suspect I'll commit a genocide at some point?
And this again, back to the original point?
Go ahead. I am being optimistic for you. Oh, that's an accomplishment. Yes. Okay. The amount of people that I've killed is
Kind of in a I guess you know what that's a little different that wouldn't be because it's wrong
It is usually a little worm and to do the genocide. What do you mean worm and I thought you said we were both
Worm and okay. Yeah
We're probably me and you are probably most likely to do a genocides.
Has an alpha ever done with?
You'll probably own a car dealership or a string of them.
Mm-hmm.
Too lazy.
I'm too lazy.
I'm too lazy.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think the sky's the limit.
For me?
Yeah.
Auto dealership, that's the sky.
No, I don't know.
I mean, we'll see what happens with this show. We gotta get enough money for the right cameras at some point. Yeah. Auto dealership, that's the sky. No, I don't know. I mean, we'll see what happens with this show.
We gotta get enough money for the right cameras at some point.
Yeah.
It's gotta go up.
It has to.
We gotta figure out how to turn this into a cat cow.
Somehow we did everything backwards.
We figured out how to make the show profitable before it was a show.
Yeah.
And then the show came out.
And then it became a show.
And now people hate it.
So it's bad. It's not bad
I think people like it watching the show. It's one of the only things I've ever felt
Proud about it. It's really cool. It's I've it's really it is genuinely a good show
It's something it didn't exist. The Ernie Hudson episode is great. It's something it didn't exist before
Yeah, that's how things are.
That's cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But who cares about them?
Well, you know, you have to balance it.
It's the whole business you got to run.
The books aren't balanced.
They're balanced.
Yeah.
They are.
But how do we go bigger?
You have to be thinking bigger, bigger,
bigger, bigger, bigger. I don't think we make a show bigger. Is that where genocide comes
in the play? I don't think I don't want to do genocide. I don't like genocide. Yeah. I
don't think that was the wrong answer. Maybe you'll be directing the Mandalorian in 20 years. Is it still gonna be out?
Yeah, or whatever the new Star Wars is.
I believe you could do that.
No, I think you could do it.
Well, directing the Star Wars, you'd be probably dead.
You'd even dead, I'll probably be dead.
Why?
I don't know, I think I'm dying.
Well, it's if your own...
How do you know? I don't know. I think I'm dying. Well, that's if you're own...
How do you know? I just don't feel good.
I swear to God, I don't say it to you right now on camera.
I'll die before you.
Out of respect.
No chance.
What do you mean?
No chance.
Why?
It's just not gonna happen. Why? It's just not gonna happen.
Why?
It's just not gonna happen, everybody.
You're in good shape.
Everybody knows it.
I'm not in good shape.
I'm in terrible shape.
How do you know?
I get out of breath standing up from the toilet.
From the toilet?
Yeah.
And I'm not even shitting.
I'm just hanging out in there.
I stand up and I'm like, oh boy.
It's probably because you're thinking about
if the Mandalorian will make you ultimately have.
It's not God.
I know, I know, I'm misinterpreting on purpose.
I get what you're saying.
Will I be happy enough to enjoy the Mandalorian?
I know what you're saying.
I mean, it's pathetic thought, but I know what you're saying.
Not happy enough, but primed for happiness.
You shouldn't, look, staying in a perpetual state of happiness is impossible.
But there should be in a perpetual state of being open to the possibility of happiness.
In the same way that, like, you know, when people, like, they get out of a relationship,
they're damaged, they can't, you know, it's like, they just can't connect with somebody,
right?
Maybe they meet somebody and it would have work, but they're just in this fucking
moment.
They're right.
They're shut off.
They're just like, it's just that they're smackin' his, and yeah, and these would be
reset.
The same works for enjoying the Mandalorian.
You know, the soprano is ended 20 years ago.
It's time to move on.
Uh-huh.
And maybe the Mandalorian isn't as good as the soprano.
Can I go bigger?
Yeah.
Zub out bigger.
It's really sad that you know you're alive,
and in knowing that, you know you're gonna die, right?
That is a truth that we all know,
and that we all live with constantly.
I guess some might say that underneath everything,
there is a existential dread that informs every year.
It's really sad that we will stop
thinking at a certain point, right?
So the baseline of existence is a cruel, mean, awful joke.
Well, that's all you have to find.
Because look, you can't, you can't, you have a concept of infinity, right?
You understand it.
Invented war?
No, infinity.
It's like this thing, or endlessness.
You understand that universe is endless.
It expands forever.
No, it's not endless, but it's expanding.
Well, I get whatever.
I don't fucking know universe.
And what's inside of the universe.
I don't know.
But so you have a concept of that.
No, I just wanna be nice to my dog and my girlfriend
and my friend.
That's all you can handle.
You're turning this into a set,
you're having a different conversation.
But I'm just saying, if you're constantly riddled,
and if you're constantly just focusing on that,
which is a logical, a logical thought.
No, it's not.
You can't.
It's not logical.
What?
To like,
Perseverate on,
does that's the right word?
On death?
I don't know, fucking no words.
Is there a repeat of thing over and over again in your head?
You're like, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die.
What are you talking about?
It's the saddest thing,
a manager of it. But it's not real. This is, I guess, my- gonna die, I'm gonna die. What are you talking about? It's the saddest thing, imagine them.
But it's not real.
This is, I guess, my-
Death?
Yeah, it's not.
What do you mean, what happened?
No, nothing.
Because you understand your life to be finite
in relation to what?
With no end point of time.
There's no anything else.
There's just your life.
Yeah, so your whole life is,
that's the entirety of that.
So just be good to the people that you love.
No, but now you're, you're, that's all you can,
that's all you can control.
You can think in conversation about one thing
and turning it, you're just,
I'm just saying.
Something into this needle point, like,
it's not needle point.
I'm just saying, this like,
holy lobby, you know, placard.
Maybe it's not.
What? Maybe it's not. What?
Maybe it's not.
What do you mean maybe it's not?
I don't know.
Why are so many songs?
I know what, you're pitching a problem
that I say doesn't need to exist in your head
and then you're giving me a solution.
The problem of the fact that you're gonna die
doesn't need to exist.
It does, yeah.
So you're saying that's a matter of perspective.
You're saying the problem would not be old, enjoy.
Mandalorian does exist.
It does exist, but I'm saying that doesn't stem from
a feeling of death.
I'm just saying you do your best.
You do your best.
And it's never gonna be good enough,
but you just do your best.
That's it.
That's all you can do.
Right?
Sure, but that's like separate.
I don't think it's...
Why? Because it's like you're like, I'm scared I'm going to die, but that's like separate. I don't like it. Why? Because it's like you're like,
I'm scared I'm going to die, but yeah, but if people are left on earth, and then you're
thrown away. If people are left on earth, and ad campaign at the end of the show, but
but I don't care if it sounds corny. I don't care if it sounds corny. If people are left
having been impacted by your love, I think that there's a life that's
the best you can do.
Beyond that, it's just fucking really sad.
It's really sad that you die.
Well, it doesn't, you don't really die, though.
Yes, you do.
They don't.
Yes, you do.
You only die from other people's perspective, which you can
never have in your own head. Your perception will always be the totality of your own existence. Yeah,
but then what happens after you've done? Nothing because you know, the what happens is again. I get what
you're saying. I get what you're saying, but it's come on. Why's it better to die then? What?
Why is it bad to die then? Why?
It's okay.
I get where you're saying in theory, but you practice the color of this, I'm sure.
Well you don't seem to be any happier.
What do you mean?
You just say, I just want to be good to my dog and life is terrible otherwise.
That's all you can do.
No.
You can shift your perspective and then you can enjoy the Mandalorian and just be good to your dog
It's part of the same thing good to your dog. It's part of the same thing
You it's part of the same thing because you just happen to enjoy it being good to your dog can be just as fine as
Watching the Mandalorian is it can be this non-thing and just a just a normal state of being no
You don't have to use being nice to your dog, your family, or friends as a coping mechanism.
It's not coping.
You just, you, you, you, you diagnose your own problem.
This is, you have this perpetual fear of that.
And then prescribe.
You have everyone does.
And if they know they're lying.
They're not projecting.
They're not lying.
No, that's not true.
They're not lying.
That's not true.
Some people are just nice to their family and friends and they just enjoy the Mandalorian.
That's all I'm saying is like, there are certain,'s all I'm saying is, like, there are certain realities.
There are certain realities.
No, no, no.
Your mischaracterized my argument.
Your way you think.
No, your mischaracterized.
How watching the Mandalorian should be is the same as you should think.
Your mischaracterized my argument.
I'm not mischaracterized my argument.
Yes, you are.
I think you're not understanding your own first reference.
What I'm saying is there are certain realities
that are beyond our control.
It's like people in AA have to say this should.
There are certain things we can control.
There are certain things we can't.
So we focus on the things we can control,
which is like being good to your loved ones.
Or enjoying the Mandalore.
Or enjoying the Mandalore is part of the same thing.
But you're saying I have to be good to my loved ones
because I'm going to die someday and what impact am I gonna have?
That's the only thing I've ever in my entire life
been able to decipher that gives life meaning.
But every time you're nice to your dog,
you're also thinking I'm going to die someday.
No, no.
I'm thinking that this is meaningful.
It's meaningful because... because I'm extracting meaning.
Because you're going to die someday and therefore it needs meaning.
No, because I'm showing love to another being.
You know, a negative relationship with life being meaningful
because life being meaningful is a way to justify this fear of death that you have or play-cated.
I know.
And it's really,
I don't know if I want to say this in public.
Then don't say it.
But I know
that from what
I've seen
not the man or in practicality.
Not the man or in the Lord, you haven't seen the man or in the Lord?
That is the only thing
and it's from what I've learned.
There's the only thing that really kind of makes sense.
You shouldn't look for meaning in life.
You should just be able to exist
within the suchness of it.
In the same way, like whatever, it's the point I just made.
Then what are you fucking like?
Come on.
That's not how people exist.
People are emotional beings.
You can be emotional, but if everything has this underlying of,
oh, I'm going to die, I need to find meaning.
You're existing on these two extremes,
where it's life is this tragic sad thing, or it has meaning.
No, that is something that is in the background console.
And then there's all these people in the middle.
There is no either or, right?
I'm not denying that I'm going to die if I have meat,
if I extract meat from life.
There's nothing I'm going to deny, but you balance it in a certain way.
It's not like a balance between these two things.
When you shouldn't be looking to balance these two extremes,
you should be looking to remove the extremes.
I am not meaning, because there is no meaning.
Because just in the same way that life gives meaning,
life having meaning kind of makes it OK
that you're going to die someday.
Otherwise, why wouldn't you kill yourself
for any of these other things?
What's the point of living if you're just going to die anyways?
Whatever.
Life has meaning, so you stay a lot. And that sort of like, you know, elays this underlying
fear or sadness about, you know, the tragedy of death.
Correct.
Right. So, where are you believing in heaven?
Yeah, so you're always...
Where are you believing in a...
Of faith, this system?
This is the negative death. It's Roman Polanski raping the little girl. And then life having
meaning is Chinatown, right?
And instead of the two things existing and once, it is this great piece of art or this
grand tragedy, let's forget about Chinatown.
Let's forget about the Roman Kalansky raping people.
Let's watch the Mandalorian.
Right in the middle.
Yeah.
So I was saying right in the middle.
Are you being up to some purpose or am I not making any sense?
No, you're making sense. I'm just saying that there's a tragic truth that underpins everything.
Right? No, it's not.
All we can do is our truth.
In my opinion.
It's not, but it's not a truth.
Because all we can do is our best.
You're making all these intrinsic statements about death.
I'm saying what makes sense to me.
Like death being a tragedy is perception.
So it's nothing, it's not, it's not.
Badass, that's badass.
It's not about being betnulled.
Why is it sad when a young person dies?
Why is it sad when someone dies unnecessarily?
Why is it sad when someone gets killed? They're going the other direction. Then why is it sad when someone dies unnecessarily? Why is it sad when someone gets killed?
We're going the other direction.
Then why is it sad?
You're still looking for an interest.
So if someone gets killed, if someone gets shot to death,
you say that why is this intrinsically sad?
We're talking about somebody being murdered
in an injustice.
So why is it an injustice?
Is it okay?
So everyone should constantly be sad about the fact that they have what it is.
No, because life is precious.
Because life is precious.
It's very simple.
And cognition is finite.
And we're very lucky to experience it.
And it's really sad when we can't experience it anymore.
You know?
All right.
Well, go ahead and enjoy it.
Have you seen a... Have you seen a... What? Go ahead and be nice to your dog and not enjoy it. That's what you said it anymore. You know? All right. Well, go ahead and go on and enjoy it. Have you seen it?
Have you seen it?
Have you seen it?
Have you seen it?
What?
Go ahead and be nice to your dog and not enjoy it.
That's what you're advocating for.
Not advocating for that.
I'm advocating for petting your dog without the context of death being involved at all.
I'm saying that is what I choose to fill my life with to extract meaning, to cope.
Extracting meaning is coping.
Oh, yeah. With this other thing. It's badass. You're k even speaking across purposes right now. No, we are though. No, we're not. Yes, we are because you're not, that's not what I'm saying.
It's not like, oh, you're saying, you're trying to say that I have some nihilistic approaches
to think and I'm not at all.
It's not like, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying,
you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying
you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying
you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying
you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're
saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're
saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're
saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're
saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're
saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're
saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're
saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're No, we're not. Yes, we are because you're not, that's not what I'm saying. It's not like, oh, you're saying.
You're trying to say that I have some nihilistic approach to the thing and I'm not at all.
It's that there's a way to just pet your dog and enjoy it and enjoy it for that without
it giving your life meaning to cope with this other thing.
I'm not doing it to cope with the other things.
You're doing that because that is how I choose to, that is how I choose to spend what I have of cognition.
But that shouldn't enter into your mind.
Why?
Because you can just enjoy petting the dog.
I would rather do that than fucking wasting my time doing some other shit.
Yeah, I would.
It's better for me.
For me, it's a personal choice.
It's better.
Okay.
And I'm not saying I'm spending my whole life loving.
I'm a pervert.
No, I'm just like that, that's what seems meaningful.
My opinion.
That's the only thing that makes sense to me.
I'm not a very smart person.
That's the only thing that's to me I can, that's ever,
what you need to do is figure out.
I'm not petting my dog to cope with death.
I'm petting my dog to cope with death.
I'm petting my dog because that's how I want to spend my life.
Right?
Yeah.
But what you need to do is you need to figure out
how to watch the Mandalorian and not be thinking about.
I do that kind of shit, dude.
Okay.
I watched the Multiverse of Madness.
Then maybe start there and figure out how to pet your dog as if you were watching the Mandalorian.
You're a freak.
You're a fucking freak.
It's not all a fucking freak.
I'm not a freak.
You're a freak.
I make sense to me.
I'm right in your room.
I make sense to me.
I know.
It's not a matter.
Right and wrong. It doesn't even exist here.
Well, maybe it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
You can choose to live your life that way.
That's how I choose a little more.
And I'm going to try and figure out how to fucking have my eyes roll back in my head and
drool all over myself watching Amanda Lorraine.
And those two things are...
They're different, yeah.
They're different.
They are different.
I thought you said they're the same. They are the same.
The sensation of doing that. In terms of objective reality they are different things.
Yeah, they are. Yeah, they are. But who cares? Well, you obviously do. Otherwise, you wouldn't have
the conversation. What? You care. You sort of. No, I was trying to talk about fucking Chinatown.
What?
You sort of that.
All right.
Well, I started, you started, it doesn't matter.
What do you mean?
I'm glad the cameras are working.
Are we gonna put this crap out?
Instead of what?
We have to.
Someone embarrassing.
I just, acting this way in public is just...
I'm not, I'm not, I don't know,
it's, it's, you're smart enough to,
to pop off in these ways.
I'm, I'm a, I'm a, I don't care.
But I'm like, I'm shy because it's,
it's like, I'm, I'm a simple man.
This is just a pot, this is a free podcast.
Yeah, I don't know.
They're seeing it with the videos.
That's fine.
It's a free podcast that helps fund the talk show
that we wanna do.
And the new episode will be out very shortly.
It's our most ambitious today.
Don't stop over-promising.
I mean it.
It is.
Okay.
You agree.
I'm happy with it, but I don't want to...
You can't be happy with anything.
What the fuck are you talking about?
That's your fucking flaws.
Anytime anything good happens, you have to convince yourself you're really sad.
You put that all in. That You're such a bitch, dude.
That's not true.
You're saying, I've been saying I'm happy.
I'm happy with the day I actually.
No, you've been, since we did that yesterday, you've been like a fucking movie.
No, I haven't.
I'm relaxed.
You, all day, you've been saying, what's wrong with that?
I tell you, nothing is wrong.
I feel fine.
I feel good.
I feel good about yesterday.
It's a beautiful day outside.
Yeah, so is the joy of the stay. I feel good about yesterday. It's a beautiful day outside. Yeah, so it's enjoying the stay.
I am enjoying it.
We're in this window, this room.
That's where the studio is.
What is this?
Just go watch Mandalorian, let's try it out.
I don't want to watch Mandalorian in the afternoon.
I'll watch Mandalorian later.
Also, we have more work to do.
We got to get this all mean Ginsburg that we're called night.
All night?
It's going to be a lot. It's already fucking, what is it? It's like, yeah, it's almost three or five. I'm a work all night. All night? It's gonna be a lot.
It's already fucking, what is it?
It's like, yeah, it's almost three or five.
I'm a fucking six to the end.
You don't have to be here.
All right.
We'll get everything set up.
Thanks for joining us folks.
Did I sound like an idiot?
I'm supposed to sound like an idiot.
No, you're saying probably better things.
No, I think you sound like an idiot.
