Starting point is 00:00:30 typewriter when I text because I don't want I don't want to use my phone when I'm driving so I have a Samsonite typewriter I put it up on my dashboard and I'm like dear Cindy I'll be home in half an hour chiching get the meatloaf ready you know yeah yeah but then how do you send the text
Starting point is 00:00:46 I drive it right to their house okay I thought you were just gonna you're riding down the Harland Highway All right hold tight on the Howland Highway Show? How do they feel? Yeah, it sounds good. How's it? How's it? How's the mic feel?
Starting point is 00:01:07 Yes, okay. Yeah, now I can hear myself. You can hear yourself? Yeah, just me. Do you like the sound of your own voice? Not really. No. You know, when you, I know, you know, sometimes you think you sound better. Oh, now I, okay, no. But I do want to hear. Now I don't hear myself.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Oh, you do want to hear myself. want to hear your voice? Yeah, I mean, it just said. Well, you just said you didn't like it. True, but but I still want to hear myself. Not to put it out there, but. Well, maybe someone needs to make up their mind a little. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Dude. All right, fine. I like this out of my own house. It depends. Wait, why don't, you get a sexy voice, dude? People say that, but then, uh, it doesn't nothing, I don't have anything, I don't get anything sexy out of it. You know what I mean? Like, am I getting any sexy parts? Any sexy clothes?
Starting point is 00:01:58 I think you just, what you're not realizing is the effect you have on people. Like, I go to 7-Eleven and say, hey, can I have a loaf of bread? And you go to 7-Eleven and go, could I have a loaf of bread? Well, the question is, why are you buying bread at 7-Eleven? Because I like it to smell like gasoline.
Starting point is 00:02:15 Okay, I got it, got it, got it. Right next to the gas. Of course, because it's right next to the gasoline. You've never had wonder unleaded? No, mine is always no actually not more electric so now I just electric bread oh you need the electric bread
Starting point is 00:02:30 electric bread yeah yeah it's better for your body it's environmentally friendly of course yeah it shucks you a little bit but it gives you a little buzz shock a little buzz yeah a little buzz that's how it is well I like to sound your voice
Starting point is 00:02:44 well thank you I'm even a little bit jealous maybe really I like your voice really yeah because you don't know where you're coming from like your voice is very like It could be serious, it could be funny, you know. Right. Like, you never know, like, it's a perfect crime voice.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Really? I could explain. You know, like, you could be like, you know, somebody could be like, hey, did he do it or not? And when they ask you questions, you don't know if it's, you know, you know what I mean? So there's no me, there's no like, it's sort of like a lie detector voice. Exactly, exactly. I don't know where the body is. I promise I never saw her.
Starting point is 00:03:24 You see, it could be true or it could be done. You know what I mean? It's perfect. Perfect for murder. Perfect for murder. Yeah. I mean, what else were you thinking? Are you saying, are you saying, why called crime?
Starting point is 00:03:38 Look, this concludes to me, either you think I'm going to commit murder or I have committed murder. Or is it both? Is it both? I think they, yeah, I think it's both. Or, you know, because you could have. Why don't you ask me? Oh, okay. Have you committed any murders?
Starting point is 00:03:56 No, never. You see, it's a perfect voice. Hey, there it is. What's your address? Is this how you committed the victims? How did you call it the victims? No, just being friendly. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:13 So, Claire. Wait, I mean, if these victims are falling for that, they should be dead. I mean, because that's like any, like, why are you... What are you... Oh, okay. Is that a tick? Yeah, I have a little.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Oh, God, yeah. Sorry. It's under a lot of pressure lately to kill, to work. To hide the bodies, yes. It all comes back. Because that's the thing with a serial killer, they want people to know, even though they can't. They do, right?
Starting point is 00:04:43 Yeah, of course. Because they want the fame. They want the notoriety. Norrity, yeah, exactly. I just don't like the name cereal. Because we all grew up eating cereal. When I hear serial killer, I picture Count Chocula, sneaking around in the dark, stabbing people.
Starting point is 00:05:02 I picture Frankenberry down by the river drowning a boy. Twix, and a rabbit killing kids. Drowning some kid in milk. Yeah. Or lucky, the... Lucky charm. Yeah, just that guy, the shit he would do. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Throwing, like, golden clovers and yellow moons into people's juggler. Dude. Oh, I'm going to murder you today. I hope you enjoy living. I'm going to fucking stomp your brains out up in the attic. Oh, I'm being lucky. Right. That's a great serial killer, actually.
Starting point is 00:05:36 That's a great serial killer. I mean, he'd be easy to catch with that voice. Yeah. Because people would be like, yeah, he's, it's, and plus he wears, he dresses, he's a leprechaun. Right. Like, the CSI, the forensic evidence, like, who killed this guy? There's magic rainbow dust everywhere. I think it was lucky.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Jesus, fuck, how did they find me? Oh, me leotards. I got magic fairy dust on me leotards. I think that movie might happen. You know, they're doing cocaine cowboy, and what about Lucky Killer? That's pretty cool. A serial killer.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Yeah. Like, do it like Ted, you know, like that, you know, like that, you know, that movie Ted? Ted, yeah. You know, but is it? the lucky charm is a bear, you know? Oh, you know who I think would be the ultimate serial killer? Okay. Think about it.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Do you want to guess what I'm going to say? Like, it's definitely the creepiest, like, the Quaker Oats guy. Oh, yeah, that'd be awesome. Of course. Like that guy with the wig and the black hat. You just see the shadow of the curve when he's coming in. He's like, hey, you better eat your oatmeal. That's his line.
Starting point is 00:06:50 It's kind of like the guy from a. From, what was this? Poltergeist. No, from Javier Bardem when he did that killer guy. Oh, yeah, yeah. No country for old bags. Yeah, but it's like that same. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:03 You're bad, you're home. You like the smell of cinnamon and raisins in the morning? Well, it's the last time you're going to smell it. You know, just like they find dead guys with raisins on their eyes. And then when they, and he's got to have a catch first. When he kills him, he's like, you know, he's like, hey, I lose your cholesterol. What is oatmeal is good for? Happy riboflavin, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Nitroposin or all those cereals full of nitroposin and I don't know, all these weird chemicals. Do you eat oatmeal? No, I've always hated it, man. Really? I did it when I was like, I hated it when I was like, you my mom, my grandma used to like feed it. It was like, you know, like, and we couldn't get up the table if we couldn't finish. and it was like the ones with like the you know not like the like with the seeds and you couldn't you have to like eat and you could almost like like almost like gag him because
Starting point is 00:07:59 seeds yeah I mean like what are the what was she feeding in the bird feeder what the hell get up in that tree and eat that damn cereal with the chipmunk it was pretty much like that it was very aggressive but now I like it see I didn't like it because it was mushy and it reminded me a pudding and as a kid it's like you know when you've got like marshmallow vampire and yellow clovers and you know frankenberry pink it's like you really you want to eat like pablam it was too was too like yeah yeah but now do you eat it no i've never i never i never i don't think i've ever had it my life really i don't think i've ever had oatmeal one day in my life we're gonna have to let the quakerette sky let oh i shouldn't say that uh you say three times
Starting point is 00:08:44 it's like battle juice Oh, wow, that's kind of scary now that I've never eaten it. He might be on his list. Now, you know, when you see it, when you go to the supermarket, you know, he's going to be looking at you through the little, you know. Oh, God. Yeah, those eyes, like the painting and the haunted mansion. I go down the cereal aisle and all the 600 Quaker Oats eyes, just go.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Yeah. Wow. I better eat a lot of life cereal in that way. I'll just keep my life going. Wheaties. Yeah. Uh, well, let's, what are we doing talking about? Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Ladies and gentlemen, uh, that's right. Mm-hmm. Now, that's right. You're on the Pala Highway podcast. Woo. And, uh, Francisco Ramos is their second visit, buddy. Yeah, man. This is a, thank you for having me back.
Starting point is 00:09:42 What an honor. Are you kidding? Yeah. I mean, I know, I know people are like asking a lot for the site. Always. Yeah. They actually are. If you look in the comments, people want.
Starting point is 00:09:50 You want you back. I want you back. They wrote me letters. Yeah, they wrote you letters. Yes. You know, they came to my house. Oh, they came to your house. Yeah, they had like, you know, like, but in the, like, I was looking through the window and they were like, come back to the highway.
Starting point is 00:10:03 And I was like, alright. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's, I'm glad you're here. Welcome back. And I wanted to start because a couple of big things have changed since you were here last time. Yes. Two big things.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Two big things. The first one is. And then we'll get into the second one. Okay. Because usually you talk about the first one and then you go into the second one. Right. The first one is you got married. Wait, what?
Starting point is 00:10:31 Excuse me. Hold up that finger, please. Hello, Goldie Hawn. Yeah, buddy. So how's it feel you got married? You were with her for quite a long time, though, right? Yeah, we were like almost like seven years, six years together before we, you know, we got married.
Starting point is 00:10:49 So, yeah. So it's funny because people, I get people, I get a question, you know, all the time. Like, how does it feel? I'm like, nothing has changed. Yeah. I mean, it feels literally the same. Like, I don't know, like, we already were living together. So there wasn't any different, you know.
Starting point is 00:11:04 And now it's like, so yeah, no, there's nothing that has changed to me that I'm like, I mean, I think it would be bad if you get married and then on a sudden is like, the other person completely changes like, like 180 degrees of like, what is this person? You mean their personality? Yeah, or something. Like any, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. I think it would be weird because it should be, I think the only time that it changes is unless you're never been together, like living together or whatever. Yeah, that's a big step. Yeah, but not people, I'm many people, unless you're in Utah, because that's when I was doing shows in Utah.
Starting point is 00:11:37 I would be like, yeah. I've been doing like, no, no, nobody. People ask me this question. And then people and I would ask people on the crowd, they're like, oh, yeah, no, we haven't been together. We can't be together until we get married. Yeah. so wow do you think that's a good idea yeah no of course not that's horrible like you don't drive a car you don't how do you like you don't buy a car without even driving at first yeah right like think you should
Starting point is 00:12:00 you know at least i'm not saying maybe if if it's a religious thing maybe live a month before or something just so you can because that's when you know that like we know each other but we don't really know each other to we live together yeah that's how you know the true reality of the person comes out hey what's the first thing you do if you had more time in your life huh go for a run, take a jog, wash the car, whatever, who knows, have a nap.

Starting point is 00:17:22 Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's like, it's like you said, it's a thing that I'm like, okay, this is not, I can live with it. Yeah. But it's kind of like, hey, remember to do that. You know, it's like, this is not a deal breaker, but it's annoying. You know what I mean? But I think that's fine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:39 You know what I mean? You need to have that. I think you're not going to find somebody that's perfect. Yeah. Yeah, it's almost what I call a cute fight. Sometimes you want to have a little fight. By way, we also then throw hairs at each other. He's throw hair.
Starting point is 00:17:53 It's like a cute fight. We literally do it like, huh. I used to have hair plug fights with my uncle. Unbelievable. And I'd go to school and my face would be covered in his hair and they called me Werewolf Boy. Oh, Warwolf Boy, wow. I'd be like, it's just plugs.
Starting point is 00:18:08 He made them in Turkey? Was it a hairplug in Turkey? Yeah, Transylvania. So it was really hair. Yeah, so it was really, it was actually very, like, real hair wolf. It was a hair wolf, yeah. And actually from a werewolf, like the hair. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Yeah, wow. But let me ask you this, when you, like, you said it didn't feel like much of a difference, right? Yeah, yeah. But was there in your brain a little bit when you, did you do the whole formal thing in front of the family? Yeah, we went to, we had a priest. We did it through the Catholic church and everything, yeah. So was there a little bit of that, like, Like, the key was already in the lock, but was there a little feeling of it, okay, now it's, it's completely closed or no, nothing at all.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Not really. I mean, because I think I was already like, like when I asked her to get married, my thing was like, all right, that's it. Like in my mind at that point, I was like, okay, it's pretty much. So I already was like, like, in my mind, I was like, that's it. I'm not, this is it. And I didn't. So that was more in a way, it's scary. or not scary but more like okay that part like the other marriage part whatever was more like well
Starting point is 00:19:19 this is it this is what's happening yeah yeah i didn't feel like uh you know i guess with you know with acting or something like that's when you get a part or something and you're like i think it's like oh no like when you're on set you're not like oh my god i'm doing it you're like okay this is it yeah yeah you know what i mean it's like i think the scary part was the audition part you know like that part yeah yeah yeah and i'm like right now i got okay now i have to be Because I feel like, also, you can't be good if you're not feeling it the day off or something. Yeah, yeah. Were you emotional?
Starting point is 00:19:51 I was emotional because my dad wasn't there. My dad passed away and all this stuff. And I was emotional. My mom started crying. So I was emotional through that, you know, like because of that. But not because of like, what am I doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. How much did your dad miss it?
Starting point is 00:20:09 How long ago? Oh, no, he's been, he's been for like four. almost 13 years. Okay. So it wasn't like one of those close call things. No, no, no,
Starting point is 00:20:18 it wasn't like, yeah, he didn't even immediately. Oh, that's too bad. And did, did she cry? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:20:23 she cried too, yes. Because my dad wasn't, wasn't there either. No, I'm kidding, man. Oh,
Starting point is 00:20:28 geez. No, no, she cried too, just also emotional, you know, because also some of her family, because we did it in Spain.
Starting point is 00:20:36 We did it in Spain. Oh, you did? Yeah. So, like, so some people couldn't make it either. So,
Starting point is 00:20:41 you know, so that was what city so the city was called denia which is uh it's like one hour from valencia and it's like you can take a ferry to ibiza which takes two hours so it's like you can take a ferry if you want yeah uh not a not a not a fairy a ferry like a boat oh a boat yeah you felt like a natural ferry yeah i's picturing all your guests flying around on like tinkerbell yeah we got we got married in Never Neverland That sounds like it
Starting point is 00:21:15 Peter Pan was my best man Welcome to our wedding At Hogwarts Well congratulations Buddy Thank you man Now we gotta ask the question You think there'll be kids
Starting point is 00:21:28 That's the next stage Is that you're personal to ask? I do no no No it's not No I think I do I think we both want to I mean I think Do you know how to
Starting point is 00:21:37 Not yet Okay We haven't done it since we've been together for seven years. You know, not even after the marriage, we haven't done it anymore. We're waiting for you to say, to go, go ahead. It's time to consummate the marriage. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:54 I'll let you know when I'm feeling comfortable with that. Can you send a group text to both of us? The group text, yeah. So she knows it. You think you'll do it? I think so I do. I do want to have. I mean, I'm not, I told her, I think she's,
Starting point is 00:22:11 She's also, like, an actress, too, so she's, oh, wow. I get that, and she's, she's younger than me, so I guess she doesn't want to have, like, kids right away. Yeah. Which, me neither. I mean, but I also told her, like, look, I don't want to wait until I'm, like, you know, 65 or 70 to have kids, because then it's like, then that what's the point at that point? Yeah. So, like, that my thing is, like, look, I want to have it, like, you know, but, like, not, it's fine to not right now, but also don't, let's not wait until, but you did agree that you both want them. Yes, yes, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:40 No, no, I asked before that because to me, because at this point, then, why am I getting married? Yeah. I don't know. Like, I mean, we'll just be together and we can do one of those partner things that they do in California.
Starting point is 00:22:50 What is it called? I don't know. There's like a thing that you can be married, but not married or like, yeah, like a legal thing, but like for taxes and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if not, then I'm like,
Starting point is 00:23:01 we're not going to go through all this to, you know, I don't, you know. It always drives me nuts when people get married and then get married and go, oh what do you mean you didn't want kids like so what's her name so Gia Vigera or whatever Sophia Vergara yes didn't that just happen with her it happened with her she didn't what she got married they got married and then all of a sudden you know she didn't want kids she because she already has kids yes and the husband was like oh well I wanted
Starting point is 00:23:27 kids and it's like yeah you didn't talk about that before yeah you forgot to have the conversation about creating another human being and also again what's the point I mean I get some people when I get married I mean and I get it if you've been doing it if you were older, you're already married. It's like, hey, the agreement is like, let's get married, but we're not going to have kids. But like my first time, you know, I never been married. And like, also is like, yeah, that's the point.
Starting point is 00:23:51 I mean, I don't, if not, then. But yeah, we did talk about it. And we said it like, and also we even talk about also before, even how to raise kids because that's more important than actually having kids. Yeah, man. That's another thing because you both want to be on the same page. of like, you know, like whatever happens with kids, you know, whatever, you know, like all the things that we have now.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Well, it's starting to feel like we live in a world where parenting is being taken away from parents and forget about what you and your wife did decide. It's starting to feel like the government is encroaching more and more into our personal lives. And they're starting to dictate how families and parenting is structured. And that's very frightening. not happening because that should yeah like you should be able to i think that the the when outside forces come in is because there's something very extreme happening with the parent whatever
Starting point is 00:24:50 you know like you know abuse or whatever stuff like that but if it's like the way to raise a kid or like whatever you know whatever that should be by you know each parent's stuff you know like and you deal you deal it with how you want your kids to be raised and then but you can't just because to me that's also like you said like giving the power because then or even get have the school sometimes maybe give the powers to the students and then they're like you're coming home like little kids and whatever and they're like telling you like your parents like go eat your oatmeal yeah you know like now school told me i'm shouldn't do it they're belligerent and i'm like what and then if you say go to and then they they're like telling you hey they've got it's called from the school that you
Starting point is 00:25:35 put your kid in a time out because he want to eat the oatmeal like yeah so Why are you calling? Who cares? You know what I mean? Yeah, it was when we grew up that you were kids and all the institutions, schooling, and everything were services provided to support the family that you decided to raise. Exactly. And now all these entities are starting to interject their influence and what they want to put onto a family. Yeah. It's almost like letting a stranger into your home and saying, hey, I didn't ask you to come in here. This is my family.
Starting point is 00:26:10 This is our sanctuary. Exactly. You have to be invited in. Which is basically what you told me when I show up today. Yeah. You were telling me that, but thank you for letting me in. But it's true. I feel like it is a thing of like we need to, you cannot.
Starting point is 00:26:25 I think school, it's like in a way kind of like you're there to learn, you know, to do all this stuff and stuff like that. But the other stuff is like that should not be like you said added to the to the curriculum of whatever's going on because is that learning or is that your opinion? It's the same thing with like news or whatever. It's like now everything, every news is opinion. And like that's not what news is supposed to be. News is like, here it is.
Starting point is 00:26:52 And then the person, whoever's watching it, decides if they like it, if they agree with it, whatever it is. But now it's like everything's opinions and then people are like, I don't want to listen to this stuff. Yeah, it's scary. You know, school is to be taught academics, not. morals and now that's not the same like you know like how to behave like in social like that's a point of school too because yes that's when you're going with little kids because you learn how to be like
Starting point is 00:27:19 oh there's you know how to deal with other kids you know like when you're dealing like friends or yes you need to learn that but not like not stuff that's over that you know yeah manners and moral guidance perhaps but not indoctrination of other people's ways of life and it's just it's got to be really a scary proposition as someone who's potentially going to be a parent to have to now you know it used to be hey I hope we can find our kids a good school world they'll make good friends and it's in a nice neighborhood and it'll be fun and now you're going what what's going to go on with my kid once they go through that door yeah that's the thing because you don't know we because the way that we grew up we only had
Starting point is 00:28:06 I guess to deal with, like, just trying to be cool or belong. Yeah. You know, that was basically the, when I went to school, like, how to be, like, which group are you going to, you know, but that was the only thing that you kind of like, that you had to deal with that, that you brought back from school, I guess, you know what I mean? It's kind of like, oh, I'm not with the cool kids or like, they made fun of me or I may get in trouble because whatever, but now it's like, you go, you, if you have a kids and then they come back and you're like, well, now I want to be a potato or something.
Starting point is 00:28:35 I don't know, like, well, okay, cool. For the, no, no, I'm actually a potato, yeah. And I have to call you potatoes, like potato, potato, like whatever. It's too much, it's too big, you know? Exactly. It used to be like little variations on social climbing and social interactions amongst the kids and status and popularity. And now it's sort of like political and social things.
Starting point is 00:29:01 I think whenever everything is like too much on the streams, it's always bad. Yeah. You know, whenever you want to, like, each side, whatever side you want to go. It's like always, the balance to me is always good, you know, because it's like, like you're there, because you don't want to go to school,
Starting point is 00:29:16 especially when you go to something for, for example, stand-up. When people come to see a stand-up, they want to laugh or have fun, that's it. It's like, if you're going to a stand-up show and then they're giving you all these opinions and things. And then it's like, okay, kind of like, then don't call it.
Starting point is 00:29:34 then let's call it at whatever it is. Yeah, yeah. And then do that. But then it is the same thing with school. Like if you go to school for whatever, just for education, and then all of a sudden they're giving you all this other stuff that you didn't ask for. It's like, well, I didn't ask for that, you know. Yeah, it's, it's a, like I said, it's a scary thing,
Starting point is 00:29:52 but it's just, you know, everything evolves. Society moves along. Hopefully it levels off. But, hey, everybody, check out my merchandise at Har Bling, Yeah, most people just slap some letters or images on a t-shirt or a hoodie, but not me. Yours truly. Guess what?

And thank you for your support, and I'll just keep the groovy images coming. Well, we even know because with AI now, will we even have a, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, well, my kids, if I have any or any other, you know, when they're young. Because my thing is like, what are they going to do? Like, if people think homelessness is bad right now, like, what happens when all this AI take over everybody's job, pretty much? Yeah. Like, anything that, that pretty much 80% of the people's job is, can be.
Starting point is 00:31:33 replace easily from it will be replaced easily yeah if you're like punching numbers or doing something that's not like that you that only one person is to do even doctors you know what i mean yeah yeah so like what are you like what's going to happen then and then those kids what are they going to do i think there's going to be a restructuring a remodeling of all of society and i think it's going to start to happen so picture you know 200 years ago going back to like pioneer village where people were churning butter and harvesting weed and everybody had their own thing. Yeah, and they're in a wagon and a blacksmith making horseshoes and then cut to the industrial revolution and then you cut to aviation and cut to the automobile industry.
Starting point is 00:32:20 And you couldn't picture the world we live in now when you were living as a pioneer. Of course. Yeah. And so right now we have to look at ourselves as pioneers and the next wave of the future world where people will adjust. Maybe there won't be jobs anymore. Maybe we live in a world. So is your universal basic income and like people just... I'm not even thinking in terms of an income. It might, we might transcend into a future
Starting point is 00:32:47 where human beings don't have to wake up in the morning. You go, well, time to go to work. Maybe we get up and we're just supposed to walk around and communicate telepathically with each other and share thoughts. And AI's, running everything we need to sustain. Like what I'm saying is there's going to be a new iteration of the future for humanity.
Starting point is 00:33:11 And I think we're right at the foggy doorstep of it and we're going to start emerging into it. And you're going to see a lot of things like butter churning and blacksmithing and wagons are going to start to drop away. Things that we think incomprehensible to live without are suddenly one day we're going to turn around and that stuff's going to be gone. Yeah. And so we don't really know what the future is because I think most of us hold on to the future and we incorporate the things we have now like automobiles and jobs and traditional people sitting at machines and car factories. But what if it's a whole new thing where we're just floating around and warning?
Starting point is 00:33:51 And we just, it's not about work. And it's just we're bumping around and just we float and who knows what it is. Yeah. But my thing is like, because I, I. I mean, I can see that, but the only thing to me is like before, with industrial revolutions and all these machines, machines, like now the machine is going to get us, I mean, it's smarter than the human being.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Right. And he's going to know, and he's already knows that it's, or it will know that it's smarter than the human being. So my thing is like, will the machine go like, well, we don't need you anymore. You know what I mean? Like the, as the machine talking to about the human. It may, you know.
Starting point is 00:34:29 I may conclude that. I mean, it's, that's what I mean. It's ambiguous, but it's fascinating. No, it is,
Starting point is 00:34:38 yeah. Because you have to, you have to remember that the machine at some point will need raw materials. Like, it can't just,
Starting point is 00:34:46 AI just can't sort of take over humans. Yeah. And then just keep running. Because underneath it all are coal factories and nuclear plants and people underground,
Starting point is 00:34:58 mining and people, you know what I mean? So unless AI can physically get out there and start, you know, digging coal and building and like I think it's still limited, but I think there will come a day where maybe AI, and this is to put it in a positive light, yeah, maybe AI becomes so brilliant that it helps us transcend the world we live in now
Starting point is 00:35:24 that's full of war and poverty and homelessness. And it's so brilliant that it, it actually sort of slowly filters us, levitates us to a new, new beginning. Yeah, a new utopian society. Yeah, and that could be incredible, that could be worse, but I always feel like humans, there's always going to be evil. Oh, of course. But I always feel like humans are always sort of elevating towards something better.
Starting point is 00:35:52 And maybe AI is the beginning of what starts to push us up that hill. Yeah. But then we have to ask, okay, so in 65 years, what's making AI look like Pioneer Village? And now we're like, wait, this new thing, block-de-block, now makes AI look like butter churning. So I feel like we're going up these steps where I don't even know if we'll physically even look the same in 400 years. No. Who knows? Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:36:27 This is the beauty of it. It's kind of, it just keeps. I like actually discussing this with you because you're giving me more of the optimistic view. Yes. Because I'm my whole, I mean, and I guess the way I grew up, I'm looking always, I'm like, that's it. The world's over. We're all going to die.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Terminator, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, but it's always the- It's cool to see this view too because now I'm like, yeah, why wouldn't it be like that? You know what I mean? That's right. People tend to always drift towards the pessimistic. Yeah. And there is the dark side, but I think if you look through the history of humanity,
Starting point is 00:37:03 it's always good that sort of lifts us up and keeps the human spirit moving, mankind moving. If darkness just one, one, one, one, one, one, we wouldn't exist now. Exactly. And there is darkness amongst us now. Of course. But think of all the good that's sort of lifting. I think there's more goodness than darkness.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Yeah. And I think humans will always find the light, you know, even if things went way down to dark, there'd always be these core people that would, the light always shines through. So we'll see where it all goes. Yeah. No, that's true. I feel like especially when, when bad, when really bad stuff happens, you know, that's when humans, I think, really kind of come together, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:37:48 They do because. Unfortunately, there's a war, there's something happened, you know, and then people come together because of that, you know what I mean? Well, when the threat is at the door, you know, here in America, we wake up every day and we got the cheesecake factory and we got Disneyland and meanwhile, countries over there are dropping bombs on each other.
Starting point is 00:38:09 But when the threat comes right and rings your doorbell like 9-11, you see the forces of energy and good start to ball up and go, oh, no way. And that's when it, until that, moment happens we're sort of in this weird kind of delusional world where we think there's nothing can go wrong and also that's when really the stuff that we care about or that we that really doesn't matter yeah we get rid of it because now it's about survival mode you know like you know it's like people are going through words right now like I'm better not thinking like oh I don't have any
Starting point is 00:38:47 followers my video didn't go viral whatever or like you know like shit like that that who yeah that people right now people care so much about but it's like who gives a shit at the end of the day it's like so it's like I feel like that's why for me you know I'm always through my life I always try to put myself in situations like that where I'm more where I have to
Starting point is 00:39:08 not care about this to try to force myself to look at things how like you know as you know of somebody that's living in right now in you know Israel or Palestine or something like that where it's like okay why are you caring this do you think this is so important like
Starting point is 00:39:24 What about life and death? You know, about people that are like, you know, they don't have anywhere to go to sleep or to eat or anything like that. It's kind of like... We really, living in this country, you really never get a taste for that, you know? And never to the extreme. I mean, it's one thing to, oh, I got divorced.
Starting point is 00:39:42 I had to live on my friend's couch or I was actually living in my car for four months. Well, try waking up and the building you lived in with your family is a pile of rubble on the ground and still smoldering. and three of your children are laying over a curb. Exactly. It's a different, yeah, that's a different reality. So I always kind of try, it's just intuitive in me to try and always kind of drift towards the positive and believe that mankind has a much longer and greater purpose. And the only way it can get there successfully is to, you know, kind of go into the light.
Starting point is 00:40:23 so to speak. So we'll see, but it's an exciting experience. It is. I mean, hopefully we get a chance to see the beginning of it. Because,
Starting point is 00:40:33 I mean, I feel like... I think we're in the beginning of it. You think we're in the beginning of it. You think we're in the beginning. With the AI stuff, you know, because it's coming so fast.
Starting point is 00:40:39 It's crazy fast. Everything's done now through AI. I mean, you can literally, like even videos like this, somebody can edit it, you know, do it or yourself,
Starting point is 00:40:47 you know, it's kind of like, it's, it's, well, even this, the whole thing with this new, forget the company's name
Starting point is 00:40:54 with like in the industry the film industry like now they can do like completely like they don't you don't need like locations or extras to do anything you do a huge so it's like that's amazing
Starting point is 00:41:07 well I'll tell you a story I just finished directing a feature film in the fall and I'm editing it right now and you know I look at all I had to do the actors the locations
Starting point is 00:41:20 I had to go location scouting we had to jump from some days we're doing four locations a day. I mean, making a feature film is such a monumental task. And I'm sitting here today as I'm editing my movie going, this could potentially be the last time I ever have to do this. This may potentially be one of the last few movies. I don't, I don't mean the last five or six, but maybe in the last five thousand movies that ever get done this way because to your point now you can sit in front of AI and say AI generate a movie of a guy who lost his refrigerator and he's traveling through the
Starting point is 00:42:04 Amazon jungle and he meets the love of his life give me an hour and a half movie with that premise and as you said it will design the jungle it will do the shots it will do the angles it will create the actors sound music everything yeah and so there's going to be no more need for all these people, these crews. And I'm like, speaking of Pioneer Village, what I just did that I thought was so, you know, on the edge. And, oh, we can green screen something. Oh, a bird flew through. We can digitally remove the bird. And now it's like all that stuff seems like Pioneer Village to what AI is offering. So it's, it's weird to think in my lifetime that the art of filmmaking, the way the masters do it like Tarantino, Scorsese, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:54 There may be no need for them anymore. A 15-year-old kid in his basement could go, make me a funny movie about a car crash and, you know, boom, and it's done. So it's amazing. But it also, I read something too that you could go back to now where like, you know how food we go to the supermarket and people like, it will buy organic or fresh from their farm or whatever because what happened? And it went, like, before it was, like, all artificial.
Starting point is 00:43:21 Now people, I want to go back to the natural thing. And I think maybe that's also might happen to with movies or ideas. Like, no, I want to, this movie is organic. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? It's like, it's made with more humans than AI or whatever, you know, like, and then people might want to support that or more instead of, like, you know. Well, it's, it's always going to be organic.
Starting point is 00:43:44 It's like going back to, to discs, records, you know. It's like, okay, you want all those rec clunky records in your house? Now, I think it's sort of a, but it reminds me of what was that show that Ben Stiller and Matt Damon did a few years ago. It was like a documentary, the green book thing. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. They found filmmakers, like amateur filmmakers, and then they weeded them until they got that one person.
Starting point is 00:44:10 Yes, yeah, yeah. And this was probably, it had to be about 10 years ago, I think. Yeah, it wasn't Shaila Buff in it, or he did something? No, this was, the one I saw was that they got down to all these people and they got one guy and this one guy was super passionate. He won and he was the director and he insisted they use real stock film. And HBO was like, no, that's going to cost us triple. If you're going to get digital, we can make it look like stock footage.
Starting point is 00:44:43 And this guy just wouldn't budge and wouldn't budge. And I think Matt and Ben Affleck, who were the producers, they were kind of like, you know, I kind of like this guy's kickback added. So after all this back and forth and with much more added to their budget, they let the guy do it on film, the thing came out and you really couldn't tell the fucking difference. And this guy sort of looked like a pain in the ass in the end, you know? And it's like you got to move on. But I think there'll always be someone who wants to do it.
Starting point is 00:45:16 the old, you know, just for sentiment. It's like people who buy anti-cars. Or that take those, now, those like the pictures, but it's like, yeah, it's just more for sentimental value, but it's not the, it's not the way it is anymore. Yeah, it'll be the industries here and those people will be there. Exactly, yeah. You can't be using a typewriter anymore, you know, like, that's the thing. That's over.
Starting point is 00:45:38 By the way, I do. I use a typewriter when I text because I don't want, they, I don't want to use my phone when I'm driving, so I have a Samsonite typewriter. I put it up on my dashboard. Okay. And I'm like, dear Cindy, I'll be home in half an hour. Chiching, get the meatloaf ready. Uh, you know, put the paper in.
Starting point is 00:45:54 But then how did you send the text? I drive it right to their house. Okay. I thought you were just going to take the picture of what you type and then send that as a text. No, I can't use my phone in the car. Okay, great. So I'm driving. I'll just text.
Starting point is 00:46:09 I'm more of a fax machine guy. I have a fax machine in my car. Oh, great. So when I do it, I'm going like, hey. Yeah. When I tell, you know, right now when I was like, hey, I'm going to be two minutes late. That was a. Remember that noise?
Starting point is 00:46:27 It sounded like a, like a wookie with the flu. It was just like, I pictured Chewbacca in like the leukemia war. Just like, and it went forever, remember? It was like, I remember sometimes you'd. phone someone and they'd have their fax machine. It was like, why is it taking so long? Are you got a tracheotomy and Zelda? Sometimes I'd just talk back to it.
Starting point is 00:46:55 I'd be like, I had an affair with a fax for like six months. Wow. Yeah, it was great. Were you guys getting a married? Well, we had a kid. Oh, you had a kid. How's it going?
Starting point is 00:47:11 What's his, what's their name? Black and Decker. and then last got ink poisoning and died oh man that's like by the way i speak i hope you have kids because you'd have adorable kids but i it's talking about all this kid stuff i have do you have a video of your your first baby video did your parents ever take one no i i have videos of when i was like but not like when i was like a baby like a newborn yeah can i show you mine sure it's the cute you don't mind because we just us talking about it i was like i got to share this yeah please please i love to see this oh really thank i'll put it up on screen so people can see it but it's um
Starting point is 00:47:51 and really it's just and this is when you as soon as you came out or like a couple this is like my very first um very first baby video oh wow that's beautiful right right and i can you can actually see who you are you know you can actually see a little bit of you there yeah you know because yeah Like, you could tell there's a little harlan in there. That's nice. Right to the, I was the first one to the egg. It was almost like I woke up and I was like, I never existed. Wow.
Starting point is 00:48:24 And then all of a sudden this thing happened and said, let's go to Denny's. Wait, the one that I thought you weren't part of the egg, the one that I was talking about. Pardon me? Sorry, I bet. What was that? Nothing. I went to the egg. No, well, I mean, I thought the one that had your face went, we didn't go to the egg.
Starting point is 00:48:44 maybe they'll after this because it's a short video yeah so well very intimate i don't want to show too much you know i don't have any clothes on so how does it's funny so they just try to find one space to get in there yeah yeah not a scientist but yeah i'll show this to the right good but isn't it funny though when you think of a a sperm going into the egg. Yeah. Let's take a sperm, which is us, and then let's take a grass seed.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Okay, one seed of grass. Yeah. You put the grass seed in the ground. One green piece of grass comes up. Yeah. Okay, just one. Yeah. Very straightforward.
Starting point is 00:49:34 We come up from that little seed and think about all the mechanics within us right now. We have a heartbeat. feeding. We're breathing. Circulation of the blood. All the moving parts and organs, the liver, the kidney, our eyes. Just think of the mechanics in our eyes, all the moving pieces just in our cornea, in our iris. Think of everything. And then you take a grass seed and it's just one thing, but we are. What the hell are we, Guy? That's, well, I mean, well, that's, I think that's, But isn't that every animal like that?
Starting point is 00:50:13 We're all part of an animal. I mean, it is, yeah, there's some things like, how did that even happen? How did it even happen? Like, how did we evolve to that? Or how did it? Can we ask AI? Oh, yeah, we should ask AI. AI, how did we happen?
Starting point is 00:50:32 I think AI is in the bathroom. AIs in the bathroom? Yeah. Oh, shit. It's not really, you know, there. AI takes dump? He takes a lot of shit. You know, because you know how many questions they get asked every fucking day?
Starting point is 00:50:46 That's a lot of shit they got to take. So they take it out, literally. Oh, when he's done, we'll see if we can get an answer. Oh, it's a dude. I thought it was it. Oh. I didn't know what it was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:01 What is it? What is it? What is AI? What are we? What are we? Where are we? Are we real? Who are you?
Starting point is 00:51:11 are you the Quaker guy no dude we're getting too deep we're going to implode let can we let's get out of this because I think it's I think it's this thing man it's giving me vitality focus it's like what is this did I micro those on this? I don't know what are we
Starting point is 00:51:39 I feel like we should have a shaman in here and we should have fire a sham wow a shaman a shaman a shaman is that like a sham wow well what is what is a shaman oh a shaman yes oh do you have a sham wow by the way i never got the sham wow what happened to that guy well i think he fell into one and got absorbed oh man they were really you know that you know who that guy is a i that guy the sham wow Tony or whatever with that you had that crooked eye How you don't, no, Vince.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Vince here. We got the Shamwow here and AI, I'm taking over reality. Vince here. Remember when he'd just throw shit over his shoulder and it would land like in a per- They probably had to do 30 takes when he'd throw his salad shooter over the shoulder and would land right in the fucking dish rack. It was like he was the best. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Until he got charged and he'd get charged from eating someone up with a salad shooter. Well, it's because I think it was like those guys, they got to go nuts because they're doing the same thing, like, for, you know, like, especially, like, hours of doing that same thing, you know, doing probably doing coke, all the stuff, like, brutal. The Chamois, man. This is true. They should have a documentary about the Shamwa guy. They should.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Or, like, the blue, all those, like, the Barney people are going to come on a movie. You know, all those, that's a tough gig, you know what I mean, like doing, because I like doing, like, being, like, because you got to be happy all the time. Yeah. You know, like, a telethuff. yeah like that's which you can't as human beings we cannot be happy all the time yeah you know I mean I think what you're saying I think it's good to be optimistic look at a point of view but it is human nature to be like you know what today I mean a little bad moon you know I'm like you know and it's fine but to me when you're always like I'm happy everything's great so what
Starting point is 00:53:31 you're saying is commercials should inject some reality and if someone's in a shitty mood exactly Like if the Pillsbury doughboy comes out and he goes, Have some fucking cinnamon rolls, you fucker. I just got audited. That would be the best commercial ever. Okay. You know, I want to make sure we're...
Starting point is 00:53:48 Yeah. Okay. Every commercial should be like that. You know, like flow from... If somebody sees flow from program... Oh, you're here flow again. I use Geico flow. Get out, you know.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Yeah. And it's a guyco commercial or something. Tampon commercials would be a whole new thing. Oh, man. I'm not in a good fucking move. I'm cramping, I'm bleeding, change the fucking channel. That's a great commercials. I think we got something here.
Starting point is 00:54:16 I think we got something. We should do like madman for like that type of commercials. See, AI can't come up with that stuff. No, hell now. Because AI goes easy. Okay. No, speaking of AI, I want to get into the second big announcement. And you're going to, I hope you like this.
Starting point is 00:54:30 I think you're going to be happy about it. Okay. Since last time you were here, I went to college I've always wanted to go back to college and get my degree so I went back to college I got my degree
Starting point is 00:54:43 and in speaking Spanish wow yeah okay all right let me look at this I went to Certific of Confucian DeVry
Starting point is 00:54:55 Spanish class night school yeah wow and you and what's two days oh so a couple of days ago that you did I just got this.
Starting point is 00:55:05 It's fresh. Gunt pepper sauce? Yeah, that was my teacher, Gunt pepper sauce. He spoke Spanish? Where is he from? Pepper sauce. That's a, I don't know. I think from Barcelona.
Starting point is 00:55:19 Okay, yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. Pepper sauce. Yeah. Pepperthage. Wow, wow. So are you fluent, 100% fluent? Well, here's the thing at the DeVry Institute of Technology, my night school Spanish
Starting point is 00:55:31 class that I have a degree in. By the way, was this through, You had to attend or was it a Zoom? I had to go there every night, every night. Where's it the Vryte campus? It's right down the street that way. Oh, that way. I thought it was that way.
Starting point is 00:55:45 It used to be, but they moved. Now they're that way. Got it, got it. Why did you used to go to the one that way? I used to go to that one. Oh, you've got to try the one that way. It was DeVry. This is DeVry.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Oh, okay. Yeah, you were at DeVro. DeVro, you know. But here's what happened. So, you know, this is new to me. So what I did, I was able to pick up the language. Mm-hmm. I can understand it fluently.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Okay. So I can converse. I can know what you're saying. Okay. But I haven't got all the tools in my toolbox to give the verbal language back. So if you'll indulge me, and I hope this is acceptable to you, you could speak Spanish to me. I'll understand it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:26 I'll talk back in English and then we can have a conversation in Spanish and then next time you come back when I have my Spanish verbalization out. Okay. But at least we can exercise half of what I graduated with. Oh, so this is just the half of the course. Yes. You only graduated to understand, not to speak. Right, but I'm working on that.
Starting point is 00:56:50 So if you want to engage in a conversation, you can speak Spanish. I'll understand all of it, but then I'll respond in English and we can have a Spanish-English conversation. Let's do it. Okay. Go ahead. Well, Harlan Mr.

Who knows where words from a wooden shoe leads. Oh, I think I found this. You've got one. He's got one.
Starting point is 01:03:03 What do we got? Elf. Wow. Well, I think that one of the things that just quickly remind me is, you know, it's from the movie, elf, obviously. And when there's that, which I get a lot of that time, people from the, that scene when he's in the office, you know, he's coming. He's like, Francisco, ooh, I like that name.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Oh, yeah, yeah. So that's very, so that's, yeah, I remember that. I mean, I don't, yeah, that's something that came up with my mind. I mean, because I don't, I don't if I remember, I didn't grow up with elves culture. Yeah. It wasn't. They weren't in part of your culture? No, it was like.
Starting point is 01:03:47 They weren't in the Latin culture didn't embrace elves? No. No, they had more like Lala reina or something. La Jorona? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Yeah. What did I say? I don't know. What did I say? Lalorena. Lalorena, that's a name. Like Jorona. Jorona.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Isn't that what your wife puts in the toilet every night? La Lorona? The hairball. No, no, that's how I feel every time she puts it. I, Jorona. The hairball. So what, wait, what did your culture embrace if they didn't have elves? I mean, elf is about.
Starting point is 01:04:20 Christmas time, right? Not really. I think it's more of smoking LSD behind a tool shed. Elf? No, I think it's more like fairies and like, okay, okay. Like, like magical forests. Yeah, I guess. Well, that's another, I guess I was thinking elf, like, like Santa Claus elves.
Starting point is 01:04:41 Yeah, yeah, that, okay, yeah. That's what I was thinking, the Christmas elves. But I was, I think, Lord of the Rings elves. Yeah, that type of thing. But what did your culture embrace as sort of the. kidsy little well there was i mean for me what i grew up was mostly like even it wasn't in that much santa clothes it was more baby jesus baby jesus he was the one that would fly and give me uh gifts that's how i i remember baby jesus landed on your roof oh he didn't even
Starting point is 01:05:10 he just he just flew over yeah i really little baby arms i get i mean i think i think it was more like little like like superman like he don't think it was like you know kind of like like this. But he only would have been like this big. Well, yeah, of course. But you know there's owls out at night, dude? But his baby Jesus is powerful. Owls got to eat.
Starting point is 01:05:31 He was made of meat. That's true. That's true. But he had the wise man looking over. Oh, yeah. You know? So. But that's how he thought.
Starting point is 01:05:39 That's like that I would really like, I remember thinking like because you want to you go to sleep to the next day to wake up for the gifts. Yeah. I remember dreaming of having the baby flying. in with gifts and set which is like what's weird there like that or like a seven year old you know senior citizen
Starting point is 01:05:58 breaking and enter into your house yeah that's true so I'll take the baby you know very Salem's lot yeah but yeah that's how so now I'm picturing baby Jesus not wrapped in a swaddling cloth but with those little curly elf shoes oh yes
