Hey, folks, today's podcast is being sponsored by BetterHelp.com.
That's BetterH-E-L-P.com.
So let's get going.
You can be using a typewriter anymore.
That's the thing.
That's over.
By the way, I do.
I use a typewriter anymore.
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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. A lot of us spend our time
wishing we had more time. The question is, time for what? The best way to squeeze that special

that you didn't even know about, like them,
maybe when they eat, they smacked their lips
and it drives you nuts.
Well, her aunt's girlfriend that she would walk to the bathroom at night
like a baby deer.
It was so weird.
She was like, mm.
On all fours?
Yes, sometimes.
And it would be like, lift your feet.
Like she wouldn't, like, she wouldn't lift them.
It was like, like, like, she was like dragging them.
Or like, and I was like, you know, so stuff like that.
You're like, I can't live with this.
And you could hear it.
It was like, like.
Yeah, yeah.
It was very like, it was, it was, it was annoying.
It was like, and, but it was more about like, like, like, come on, like move.
I don't know.
Like, it was weird.
Yeah.
So stuff like that.
Yeah.
If you don't know that.
Yeah.

I love her.
We're married.
I can live with it.
Yeah.
I don't love it.
And if, have you, what is it?
There's stuff like bathroom stuff like, you know, like, like living the hair.
like in the sometimes she puts them in the toilet
but doesn't flush it
and I'm like and she's like because the water
I'm like who care
flush them like I don't want to come in and like
and see a bunch of you know
I don't like that it gives me
you don't want to go in the middle of the night
and the girl from the rings in the toilet
she climbs out
but if you
do you address it with her
or when you're married you just
you just let it go
You're like, okay, I don't want to light a fuse here.
Let's let's just let it go.
No, no, I tell her all the time.
Oh, really?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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?
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,
it wasn't like,
yeah,
he didn't even immediately.
Oh,
that's too bad.
And did,
did she cry?
Yeah,
she cried too,
yes.
Because my dad wasn't,
wasn't there either.
No,
I'm kidding,
man.
Oh,
geez.
No,
no,
she cried too,
just also emotional,
you know,
because also some of her family,
because we did it in Spain.
We did it in Spain.
Oh,
you did?
Yeah.
So, like,
so some people
couldn't make it either.
So,
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
but it's just, you know, everything evolves.
Society moves along.
Hopefully it levels off.

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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
I may conclude that.
I mean,
it's,
that's what I mean.
It's ambiguous,
but it's fascinating.
No,
it is,
yeah.
Because you have to,
you have to remember
that the machine
at some point
will need raw materials.
Like,
it can't just,
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
What is it?
What is it?
What is AI?
What are we?
What are we?
Where are we?
Are we real?
Who are you?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
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
and in speaking Spanish
wow
yeah okay
all right let me
look at this
I went to
Certific of Confucian
DeVry
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
William,

AI carved this.
3D printer.
And you reach in, you pull out a word and see if it spurs a
spurs a story from your life, from your journey, from someone you know, from something you did.
Who knows where words from a wooden shoe leads.
Oh, I think I found this.
You've got one.
He's got one.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
What did I say?
I don't know.
What did I say?
Lalorena.
Lalorena, that's a name.
Like Jorona.
Jorona.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
breaking and enter into your house
yeah that's true so
I'll take the baby you know

curly elf shoes oh yes
