Then you'll enjoy this. Yeah,

but it's frozen. Frozen bomb. That's

1:28

what my friends used to call me. Get

1:30

on the mic. I'm mad at you. Get

1:33

on the mic. My friends used to call

1:35

me frozen bomb. How are you going to

1:37

start with what's clearly a delightful, wonderful

1:40

anecdote? Well, are

1:43

we filming? Yeah. My

1:46

mom used to cook frozen pizzas all

1:48

the time for dinner. She

1:51

was a terrible cook. So shouldn't she have been frozen

1:53

bomb? Well, my friends were always like frozen bomb. Yeah,

1:55

his mom makes frozen pizzas all the time

1:57

for his meals. Can I just say...

2:00

sort of embarrassing. The 80s, 90s.

2:03

Yeah. It

2:06

was a rough time. It was rough. I

2:09

remember I'm

2:11

not proud of this. Oh, we didn't plug that in.

2:14

Does that matter, Katie? No, we're

2:17

still talking. This is still the

2:19

pod. Am I behind you now? What

2:21

are you doing? I just remember that

2:25

in the 90s, when I was in junior high, there

2:28

was a kid, oh, God, I hate the

2:31

story. Well, then don't tell it. No,

2:33

I just want to be on the record that I

2:35

don't like it, that I'm going to tell it. Oh,

2:38

it's okay. You're setting it up like you don't... As

2:40

long as you show remorse. Well, I hope I do.

2:42

Well, that's what we could do. Rob to you by

2:44

Magic Mind. Say it to your camera. Magic

2:47

Mind. Drink it. I'm

2:51

humorless. Shake it. Shake it real good. So

2:54

anyway, what I was going to say was there was a friend

2:56

of ours who, you know, my school

2:58

was in Cambridge. And do you

3:01

want to know what's in it? No shellfish. I'll

3:06

die after shellfish. Really? Mm hmm.

3:08

Frozen bomb? Frozen bomb.

3:10

I don't know if I'd die, but it would not

3:12

be good. He'd puff up like a puffer fish. Yeah.

3:16

Anyway, this kid lived in a condo. Who

3:18

cares? But at the time, we

3:20

just didn't know what that was. Most of the kids lived

3:22

in, I guess, houses. That's

3:24

not even true. But he lived

3:26

in a condo. Now that I'm a grown

3:28

man, I'm like, he lived in a dope

3:30

ass condo. Yeah. But it wasn't what he

3:32

told on TV. Right. On TV, you saw

3:35

a little lawn and a house

3:37

and a driveway. Now as a

3:39

grown man, I'm like, he was in

3:41

Cambridge, Massachusetts in a nice building. Got

3:44

in in the late 80s. They

3:47

got a steal, probably tripled in

3:49

value. But as a kid, I was like, we

3:52

used to joke that he lived in a

3:54

cave. We're like, he lives in a cave. Meanwhile,

3:56

some of those kids that were in on that on

3:58

this horrible cave riff. Also lived in

4:01

condos. It was just they

4:03

were just happy they weren't getting it. Right? Are you sure

4:05

they were condos? Instead

4:07

of apartments? Yeah. Yeah, I just think

4:09

they remember being like this isn't quite

4:12

I don't know. How can you tell we used to

4:14

call them duplexes? Yeah, there

4:16

you go. You know where I grew up It was

4:18

like the dozer twins lived in a duplex a couple

4:21

blocks away and they were just you know It was

4:23

like in a party cat dozer.

4:25

Oh, they were Amy and Robin dozer.

4:27

There were these hot sisters And

4:30

somehow don't ask me. I mean we can get

4:32

into it, but I made out

4:35

with them It was the

4:37

first time I ever kissed a girl, but

4:39

it was a humiliating story, but continue your

4:41

Cambridge story Yeah, I will because I know

4:43

how to host a podcast What

4:46

happened? What so my

4:48

friend Danny cutter and I were outside

4:50

Danny Danny old Danny and you know,

4:52

it's funny it becomes friends with him

4:55

We had just moved in in 1980 and

4:57

I I was sitting there depressed

4:59

on my My porch

5:02

and my dad was mowing the lawn He had one

5:04

of these mowers that didn't have

5:06

the bag attached to just shit and rocks

5:08

and stuff would fly into his face Yeah,

5:12

he was I was he get a grass catcher

5:14

dad. Get a bag get a bag get a

5:16

bag daddy goes What's wrong with you? I go.

5:18

I don't have any friends. He's like

5:22

Well, why don't you just knock on every door in the neighborhood and

5:24

see if they have a kid your age who's 10 years old

5:26

He wants you to go Jehovah's Witness. That's exactly what

5:28

I did. I knocked on every door. Hi. My name

5:31

is Michael I'm 10. Do you have a kid I

5:33

could play with? No door closed door closed door closed

5:35

and then one door Opened and

5:37

it was mrs. Cutter and she had great

5:40

boobs I remember that because

5:42

you know this little horn dog monster that she

5:44

was well into her life Well, no, I didn't

5:46

I didn't I didn't think about her

5:48

boobs then but one day Well, I became friends with

5:50

Danny. I Walked by

5:52

the bedroom and she was putting on her bra

5:55

and I saw her boobs and I was she's

5:57

at Michael Michael And then I

5:59

and I never forgot those boobs. They

6:01

were just slightly panned. The

6:03

boobs themselves? What is

6:06

she going to topless bar? No, they weren't

6:08

really panned. She was just, she got a

6:10

darker complexion. And they were very

6:12

pleasant and plump. And

6:14

I've dreamt about those boobs for

6:17

years. It's very true. Well, can

6:19

I say unexpected boobs? Unexpected

6:22

boobs. Unexpected boobs. If you get a side

6:24

breath when it's unexpected, that's enough to keep

6:26

you going. I was walking right down over

6:29

here on Vermont. And

6:31

there was a place that did burlesque. What's funny

6:33

is you could go in. I don't think there

6:35

was even a cover. I could go in and

6:38

see boobs. That's what

6:40

burlesque is. It sort of is. It's

6:42

like, but it's kind of funny. So you feel like

6:44

less geezy. It's like, yeah, it's a joke. It's fun.

6:47

It's a joke. In your mind, you're like, hmm. Like

6:49

the guy in the, in the nineties, it was like,

6:51

let's watch this porno. It's hilarious. Like that

6:53

kid. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's so funny.

6:55

I still remember Tyler Mack

6:58

was like, and then they start doing it and

7:01

the sound she makes is hilarious. And then he

7:03

puts it on him. Like, I can't watch porn

7:05

with other guys. Me neither. I remember one kid

7:07

put porn on and I was just like, fun,

7:09

comfortable. I'm out. I can't do that.

7:11

And he was just there and she

7:13

was making a weird sound. And I

7:15

was just like, how is this what

7:17

you wanted to do? Yeah. And it's

7:19

not funny. It's to quote Dr.

7:22

Gary, fed my therapist. It's very erotic.

7:24

Yeah. And I don't want to be

7:26

here. A bunch of guys getting aroused

7:28

together in a room. It's not for

7:30

me. Not for me anyway. Danny. Wait,

7:32

wait, wait. There was something I was

7:34

telling you. Oh, we're not going to

7:36

forget you and your boobs. Well, wait, the bride, the

7:38

bride, the bride, the bride. So when you saw the,

7:40

I could have gone in the

7:42

front and seen the boobs, but instead I

7:44

was walking by and I looked up to

7:47

the second story and that's where they were

7:49

changing. These are women that get naked for

7:51

their job, but I saw accidental boobs on

7:53

the sidewalk. Boobs. I still think about them.

7:55

See, it's when you're not supposed to see

7:57

something. You're not supposed to see behind the

7:59

curve. Can I actually exactly and can

8:01

I bring a little

8:03

neuroscience in this? Yes, please

8:06

Dopamine the way it works is if you're

8:08

expecting Dopamine like if I

8:10

say Michael do you want to go get an ice cream with me? You

8:13

actually start releasing these predicting dopamine feelings, which

8:15

actually kind of evens out the whole experience

8:17

I'm gonna get ice cream I'm gonna get

8:19

ice cream then you eat it and it's

8:22

like I knew I was gonna get ice

8:24

cream and it's not as Much of a

8:26

thrill surprise boobs is the way dopamine works

8:28

at its best is when it's a surprise

8:31

So you do a show or you do a

8:33

scene and you thought it was gonna be bad

8:35

and it was great Then you get a huge

8:37

hit that surprise. Well, yeah same thing It's like

8:39

if you're if you're doing stand-up Yes, and

8:41

you go out there and you're expecting not

8:43

a big crowd on Tuesday and it's past

8:45

10:12

Jugs on this list? Jugs. You know what

10:14

I call my wife's? What? Cheggers.

10:17

Cheggers. I go, I love your

10:19

Cheggers, baby. Nice Cheggers. I

10:22

like it, but I'll say it in earnest, which

10:24

is weird. I'll go like, you have the best

10:27

Cheggers in the business. We have these, we watch

10:29

horror movies. I have horror movie nights at my

10:31

house for all my horror movie buddies. And we

10:33

watch them and for some reason,

10:35

we get all giggly and fun when we see

10:37

boobs and some old, especially the older horror movies,

10:39

you see a lot of boobs. Yeah, the cheapest.

10:42

And we're like, I'm like, oh my God, this

10:45

movie just jumped up to a B or

10:47

whatever. We have a, but like, if you

10:49

see a, if you see a

10:51

boob. When I was a kid and I'd watch,

10:53

there was like a college TV

10:55

station. So kind of like pirate radio, but

10:57

it was a TV station. And they just

10:59

air movies. And there are certain movies where

11:01

you can't cut around the nudity. You

11:04

know, once I learned this, like his background

11:06

nudity. Like it's a part, it's like Tom

11:08

Hanks, the frat house movie, party

11:10

house, I think it's called. Something like that. Something

11:12

like that. Doesn't matter. There's a

11:14

scene where the cops bust in and there's

11:16

hundreds of extras. And a lot of them

11:18

are topless. What are you gonna just not

11:20

show that scene? Continuity! Yeah. So

11:22

guess who's seeing, you know,

11:24

little standard definition. Slumber party

11:26

massacre. There's just a

11:28

scene. It's so random. It's like a shower

11:31

scene. We're sounding like such pigs, but we're

11:33

kids. We're watching these. And it's

11:35

just a dolly and naked butts. And

11:37

then a girl turns around and it's

11:39

her boobs. And then she turns back

11:42

and now we tilt down. And then

11:44

we tilt up. We see boos. We

11:46

go to the next, and there's no

11:48

reason. They're just, the camera's just checking

11:51

them out. This camera operator was hired

11:53

for a reason. I picture

11:55

him. He's got a Hawaiian shirt, nothing underneath it.

11:58

Great shot, Mick. Moustache, dark

12:00

mustache, cigarette, always dangling, bald but

12:02

long in the back. That's who's

12:04

shooting this movie. Yeah. Do

12:07

you remember in the 80s, it was pervy

12:09

to have cameras? Do you

12:11

remember like the feeling, like picture a guy in

12:13

a vest filled with film, but he's not working

12:15

for a newspaper. He's just kind of at the

12:17

beach. It's just a perv. Yeah, just

12:19

a perv. It was okay to put those pervs

12:21

in there. Pervs were out. Pervs

12:24

were just out snapping. Pervy. Telephoto

12:26

lenses. And I knew this was true because if you

12:28

read, I liked video production even as a kid, and

12:30

if you read those, they always had the grossest abs.

12:32

It was always like, are you a perv? Like

12:35

do you want to be pervy? Yeah, you're

12:38

right. And then now everyone is constantly taking

12:40

photos all the time everywhere. But in the

12:42

80s and 90s, it was just guys with

12:44

dark, dark mustaches, cigarettes, and a fisherman's butt.

12:47

And those mustaches are coming back now. You

12:49

sure are. The thing is, I

12:51

can't grow one. It doesn't look right on me. Really?

12:54

It's not good in a mustache, but you think it's too... Is

12:57

that a fad? Is it going to go away again? When

12:59

I see these things circling back, I'm

13:01

just like, there's nothing. We're

13:04

out. We're out of ideas. Like AI

13:06

was... Nothing with movies. Computers... Not

13:09

AI, but computers were saying, they crunched the

13:11

numbers and they're like, music

13:14

is a finite resource and you're going

13:16

to be out of new melodies by

13:18

a certain year. Like they predicted the

13:20

year would run out. That's how I

13:22

feel about fashion. I see kids... I

13:25

sound like an oldie, but who cares? I

13:27

see kids these days and they're dressed like I dressed in

13:29

1995. The

13:31

baggy flannel. I don't like 90s. You're wearing cargo

13:34

pants. Yeah, but I don't like 90s. I

13:36

don't like the high jeans. H.J.S.

13:40

I always do that. I

13:43

was like, ooh, S.B.'s. What's

13:46

that? Side breasts. S.B.'s. I

13:49

always say the letters like it makes it better. S.S.B.s. Surprise

13:51

side breasts. My friend John named, John

13:53

Heater, Napoleon Dynamite, who I... Yeah, which

13:55

you hooked up... Yeah, because he's such

13:58

a funny guy, but like... I

14:00

kinda got it from him and his

14:02

friends, but like he's in the SMU. Secret

14:05

Mormon underwear. Yes, I did talk about that.

14:07

Not the MCU, he's in the SMU. But

14:10

like I said, you know, he'll be like, oh

14:12

my god. He'll

14:14

say things but he won't swear. You

14:17

know, he'll be like, yes. Did

14:19

you see her, did

14:21

you see her boobies? He totally showed her bees. Oh

14:24

man. Oh man, boobs? I saw her

14:26

a-hole. I saw her boob. I saw her bees.

14:28

Did you see her pH?

14:31

No. She showed her

14:33

pH, then she showed her pH. Dude,

14:35

this is LDS Latter-day Saint Dirty Talk.

14:37

Oh man, your tees are so bouncy.

14:41

Show me that, sweet sweetie. And

14:43

if you're real good, show me that pee. Oh,

14:46

I'm gonna J. I'm gonna J. I'm

14:48

gonna J-O-so-um. I'm J-O-so-um. I'm

14:51

J-O-so-um. I'm J-O-so-um. I'm J-O-so-um.

14:53

I'm J-O-so-um. I'm J-O-so-um. I'm

14:56

J-O-so-um. I'm J-O-so-um. I'm J-O-so-um. Much?

15:00

I'm J-O-so-um. You won't say

15:02

much now? Now we're just

15:04

in letters. I-S-M. Or

15:06

an acronym. It's so much. He yelled towards

15:08

the end. He does, but now I start

15:11

to do that. I go, oh man,

15:14

that's flippin'. Yeah. Girl.

15:17

Can I say something hot? We're gonna get back to you kissing

15:19

those twins. Oh my God, I forgot about those. The sisters.

15:22

I think it's really funny to say- The dozers.

15:24

You know how my life is funny? There's

15:26

certain things. This

15:28

is top of the list for me. It's

15:31

frickin' freezing in here, Mr. Bigglesworth. Is

15:33

a very surprising, delightful way to say

15:36

it's cold. For me. It's

15:39

frickin' freezing in here. From lots of hours. What

15:41

did you see, Mr. What? Mr. Bigglesworth. Mr. Bigglesworth.

15:43

But you can just say it's frickin' freezing in

15:45

here. I think it's funny. It's frickin' freezing in

15:47

here. It's frickin' freezing in here. It's funnier. Yeah.

15:50

My favorite one, Casey Affleck, Good Will Hunting, for

15:52

the TV edit. The

15:55

a world, no creatures, millions

20:06

of years of evolution, without

20:20

that? That was excellent. Thank you. Was

20:24

never left the house as a kid. I

20:26

know, I could tell from being at

20:29

your house. Okay, let's get to your

20:31

love of pop culture after you finish

20:33

the story about the two kisses. Look,

20:35

I became friends with this guy Danny

20:38

Cutter, whose mom had nice boobs, Jan.

20:40

His late mother. One time in the

20:42

summer, we're hanging out and Julie Montgomery

20:44

lived up the street, goes, hey, me,

20:47

Amy Dozer and Robin Dozer, the

20:50

twins, are going to this...there's this

20:52

house that is for

20:54

sale and there's no one in there and we're

20:57

just going to hang out and drink. And it

20:59

was like, I wasn't a drinker

21:01

or whatever. I was a kid. I was

21:03

probably 10? 10, maybe? You were

21:05

10 when you started the story, yeah. Maybe 9 or

21:07

10, something like that. I remember it was 1980, 81.

21:11

I think it was 8. But

21:14

we went to this house and I remember I was

21:16

in my swimming trunks still. They were still wet, which

21:18

was probably good because it blended in with whatever else

21:20

was wet. No,

21:22

I was too young for that. I started puberty

21:24

delay. Anyway, I'm in there and... You mean a self-jizz?

21:27

Yeah, but I was blanks then. I didn't even know

21:29

what was going on. I had no hair on my balls

21:31

until I was like 40 or 15. You jaded before

21:33

you were blowing jade? I never jade at that age.

21:35

I never jade blanks. I never

21:37

jade until I was probably 15 and then I was

21:39

15 or 16. I

21:42

didn't start puberty delayed. That's

21:44

when I started S'ing L's. Shooting

21:47

loads? Yes. We're

21:50

23:13

23:43

I was the shortest kid in my school through

23:46

high school what go ahead yeah I'm

23:49

sorry yeah little Rosie and then I grew

23:51

after high school little frozen bird eight inches

23:53

after high school yeah you did whoa

24:01

That's not pleasant. I hated every moment of

24:03

that tapping. My first,

24:06

it was at camp, there

24:09

was, it's funny the games we play to

24:11

like have these life experiences. You're playing Truth

24:13

or Dare. My camp was

24:15

just like, there were a lot of British counselors. I've

24:17

told the story before, I'll keep it brief. And

24:20

we found out that French kissing in the British

24:22

culture was called snogging. Snogging? Did

24:24

you snogga? You

24:27

guys were right snogging, did you? Is that what

24:29

they said? Right after you gave

24:31

her a shag, first you snog, then you

24:33

shag, then you be your elf. That's a

24:35

bit backwards. Ale to the chief. No,

24:38

that's us. Long live the

24:40

queen. We have

24:42

ale to the chief. They have. Yeah.

24:44

You got it. The queen is dead.

24:47

Wait, what? The queen died? This is

24:49

me fighting. Yeah. This is me

24:51

fighting. But go ahead. Snogging. It just

24:53

became like a thing. I don't know

24:55

how these, I don't know how these

24:57

currencies start, but people are like, people

24:59

are snogging. There's just snogging going around.

25:01

And here I am like 11 years

25:03

old and I'm like, I'm wet and

25:05

fucking red, just red and

25:07

wet and jiggly and wearing probably like

25:09

a silken shirt, like a little accountant.

25:11

And I'm just going around probably fucking

25:14

rubber bands on my braces and

25:16

a weird high and tight haircut. And I'm

25:18

just fucking goof. You were nowhere near snogging.

25:21

I'm not snoggable. Now I'm highly snoggable.

25:23

Yeah. Get my wife's chuggers in the

25:25

mix. We're snogging. Oh yeah. So

25:28

anyway, I'm going around. Yes, those C's. But

25:31

I would, nice. I

25:33

was camp cool. So camp was the only

25:35

place that I got to be cool. Found

25:37

out snogging was happening. I kind of put

25:39

it out on the street or

25:41

the dirt path as it were at this

25:43

low fight camp that I was down for

25:45

a snog. I wanted to snog because people

25:47

were snogging. And Crystal, I

25:49

still remember her name. She was a little

25:51

bit older. I'm sitting in the common area.

25:54

Speaking about watching porn together. I'm just sitting

25:56

on a couch and she told me at some

25:58

point she's like, I'm going to come up and I'm going to snog. You

26:00

won't know when it's coming. Thank you. In

26:03

my mind, she was the most beautiful girl

26:06

in the world. Really? Yeah.

26:09

Crystal what? I don't know her. I

26:11

don't know her. Crystal Geyser. Yeah, she owns

26:13

the water company. Crystal Geyser. I mean, she

26:15

was...the way that I remember her

26:18

was mysterious. Okay.

26:20

Smokey. Interesting. And

26:22

probably shaped my whole, you know,

26:25

identity in that way. You

26:28

know what I mean? Yeah. I guess I'm hesitating

26:30

to say this because we are talking about maybe

26:32

we were older, like 16 to be honest. That's

26:36

kind of older. Yeah. You hadn't

26:38

snogged? I hadn't snogged yet. Yeah.

26:41

I'm very bad at remembering what she was. I was bad at

26:43

snogging. No, this is the point of my

26:45

story. You were

26:47

ashamed that you felt bad at kissing.

26:50

Crystal comes up, sits on my lap, and

26:53

I remember she gave out a little, like a

26:55

growl, and she snogged me. And

26:57

I didn't know what to do. So

26:59

I'm just sitting there, and I go, right?

27:02

I just thought that's what snogging was. Get

27:04

the tongue in there. And

27:06

then she pulls away, and as she pulls away, she

27:08

goes, I didn't know you were just going to stick

27:10

your tongue in my mouth. And

27:12

she was like, who are you saying that to, Crystal?

27:15

So I felt shame. Bad

27:18

kiss. B-K-S. Bad

27:20

kiss, shame. It could honestly,

27:22

those things devastate you as

27:24

a child. Those little things that

27:26

you're embarrassed by. I

27:28

didn't start puberty-related, as I told you. And sometimes people

27:31

will play basketball, and they play shirts or skins. And

27:33

I go, I'll take the zero. I'm just not going

27:35

to play. Because I had no hair in my arms.

27:37

I remember Mike Curry was the hairiest kid around. Hair,

27:39

tons of hair under his arms at like 12. Wait,

27:42

you wanted hair? He's like, yeah, he goes, Rosenbaum, why

27:44

don't you have any hair under your arms? You're 14.

27:47

I'm like, oh, I'm a swimmer. What? Oh,

27:50

we shave it. I remember hearing that.

27:53

And so swimmers shaved their bodies. So

27:56

I just said, oh, I swim. So it's

27:59

aerodynamic. I'm dead

28:01

that you said you prepped You

28:05

are like where they should I remember at

28:08

like 14 or 15. I remember Hearing

28:12

that swimmers they shave their bodies or whatever. So

28:14

I go well, I'm on so I'm looking for

28:16

the on swim team So that's why I shave

28:20

Wow Yes, can I

28:22

say? shirts

28:24

versus skins What is

28:26

this Guantanamo Bay? Have you ever heard of that?

28:29

Yeah, because I'm the chunky stuff

28:31

you're the hairless and I

28:34

was puny Little

28:36

dude the puny hairless community has nothing

28:38

on the gawky chunk stuff community We

28:40

don't we don't recognize your plight I

28:43

would have loved to be small and hairless

28:45

instead of a sure don't got

28:48

that don't question Were you that heavy don't go

28:50

were you happy? It doesn't I'm gonna tell you

28:52

a little something about heaviness If

28:54

you're the heaviest You're that

28:56

heavy. It doesn't matter you were the heavy

28:58

heavy just praise that there's another heavy. Did

29:01

you cry? Did

29:03

you oh, yeah, I

29:05

would honestly pray to God to start puberty.

29:07

Give me hairs on my arms Give

29:10

me something give me a bigger weiner Something

29:13

and then everything worked out big

29:16

but it took time big wing big

29:18

wing big wing W's big wing or anger.

29:21

I'm just comfortable. Yeah, I'm comfortable. I don't I

29:23

don't look at it as a I don't I

29:25

don't see No complaints. Yeah, I'm

29:27

not like Symbol

29:30

like okay. So here I

29:32

I guess I remember very distinctly

29:34

playing shirt very vivid memory And

29:37

I remember it from two perspectives meaning

29:39

it's D Personalized which

29:42

is weird right? I'm chunk I'm

29:44

sweating in ways that they're not and there's this

29:46

little guy and he's good with the ball and

29:49

I get over him I put my hand up

29:51

and I remember I'm and then there's like a

29:53

like a lava lamp ask And

29:56

then the kid was like he I

29:58

30:01

hate being short is what he said.

30:03

30:07

I was just so happy that

30:10

he saw me as tall first

30:13

Chunk style second and I

30:15

love that kid because the whole game is

30:17

how you remember that I'm not counting points

30:19

I'm just counting how many people are kind

30:21

of being groovy and that kid was

30:23

the groovish is where people kind to you in the

30:26

90s well As

30:28

the heavy kid, I didn't get it that bad That's

30:31

30:35

30:38

high school? I was about this

30:40

32:47

of a sudden, um, I'm

32:49

behind this kid a little ways and the

32:51

kid turns around and goes, your dad needs

32:53

to shut his mouth and

32:56

I go, I go, why don't you

32:58

shut your mouth? I'm trying to launch a game here. And

33:01

33:03

to laugh. And then he said something. He goes,

33:05

yeah, you want me to kick your ass? I go, well, there's

33:07

a guy. I remember just going, like, I go right here in

33:09

the middle of the game, you know,

33:11

33:20

then. And if you're

33:22

even trying to come back back, I was, I

33:24

33:26

could defend myself. And I realized it at a

33:28

young age. And this guy

33:31

goes, he goes, I'm going to

33:33

36:31

much attention to me So I went up

36:33

to my room and I put some ice

36:35

on my face and the next day I

36:37

went to school And I remember in the

36:39

36:42

a little bit of a puffy lip nothing bad

36:44

36:48

Walks into the cafeteria and sits down at

37:09

you know laughing sort of Adam and he was

37:11

like, you know a popular kid and everything and

37:13

I was just like, oh my god and later

37:15

that day I Swear

37:17

to God. I'll never forget it. It's

37:20

like out of a movie it's the end

37:22

of the period and I

37:25

go to the bathroom and I'm

37:28

taking a piss and who walks in the

37:30

bathroom. No one else is in there roads

37:32

and Rhodes is in there

37:34

and he goes up to the urinal. He goes

37:39

Gotta learn to shut your fucking mouth man That's

37:42

his one line. Yeah, and I just looked at him

37:44

and I go You

37:46

started it And

37:50

we both pee together And

37:53

then sound of and urine

37:55

and then that was it

37:57

you were golden I mean never

38:00

went after me again, but like. We

38:03

just had someone on the podcast, do you remember

38:05

who it was? I'll never forget that. Like after

38:07

you fight, you're kind of like, you become friends?

38:09

No, we weren't friends. Johnny Knoxville was like, after

38:12

you would get in a fight. No, we were

38:14

never friends. I think there was more of like,

38:16

he never bothered me again. And

38:18

it happened again, this one kid named

38:21

Davey Barnes, I used to come out

38:23

of my health class and my

38:25

books. And as I was walking, he'd go,

38:27

boom, and hit my books and knock them

38:29

out. And I remember,

38:31

he did it a couple of times, it

38:33

just fell off my boner from health class.

38:36

And I remember one time, again,

38:39

bigger kid, and I just

38:41

lost it one day. And

38:44

I think I was thinking about it the whole class, if

38:46

he does this again, here's what I'm going to do, here's

38:48

what I'm going to do. And I built myself up. That's

38:50

what happens when you establish a pattern. You're bullying in the

38:52

same style. Maybe somebody's going to

38:54

set a bully trap. Yeah, and he did

38:56

it. And I go, I

38:58

go, motherfucker, you do that one more guy, I swear

39:00

to God, I'm going to kick your fucking ass, man.

39:03

Don't ever knock my, and I screamed at him. He's

39:07

like, whoa, whoa, dude. And

39:12

laughed and kind of walked, never bothered me again

39:15

though. I fucking love you. Never

39:17

bothered me again. I knew I would get beat up.

39:19

I wasn't a big kid, but I did stick up

39:21

for myself. You know, can

39:23

I, at times, here's a pitch. Yeah,

39:26

it's fucked up. You

39:28

ready? Take

39:31

the book on the top, put some text

39:33

through the cover, so there's a spiky front,

39:35

and then let them do it. Let

39:38

them do it. Rewind. Fuck

39:40

you, dude. Fuck you, Barnes. You

39:43

did it to yourself. F you, DB. F you. Davey

39:46

Barnes. Davey Barnes is the

39:48

name. Every

39:52

name you have used thus far. I

39:54

gotta use that one of my scripts, Davey Barnes.

39:57

39:59

43:18

43:21

What was I had to remember what I said? What

43:23

it what was it can't be worse than how did

43:26

I taste? No, it wasn't that

43:29

Doesn't make sense with your wife. No, it was

43:31

better than that. Hold on. Let me think of

43:33

it It

43:37

was like oh How

43:39

our sloppy seconds I

43:42

can't handle that story. I know what did

43:44

he say? He just goes And

43:50

everybody laughed it was just we were jokers, I mean

43:52

it was nothing to it But he did he did

43:54

Mary and I remember she didn't marry because

43:56

he found out about this. No, he

43:59

married her but before Before that, she was dating

44:01

someone else and I came home and this is only

44:03

like not that long before,

44:06

but I hadn't seen her

44:08

since those moments in school.

44:11

And I remember she

44:13

came up to me with her,

44:15

at the time, boyfriend, or no,

44:17

husband, she was married before, and

44:19

she says, this

44:23

is Michael, this is my first. And he

44:25

was just so uncomfortable. It wasn't even funny.

44:27

He was like, ah, hey man. I was

44:30

on a show. I just wanted to. And I

44:32

tried to downplay it all, like no, no, it

44:34

was so long ago. We were teenagers, we were

44:36

kids. Yeah, and she's like, it was good though.

44:38

And I'm like, oh God, here we go. It

44:42

was uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable.

44:44

I had been in those moments where it's

44:46

just like, just like, why

44:48

are you saying this? Why are you doing

44:50

that? Who would do that to you? This

44:53

is my first. Don't do that to him.

44:55

I also was terrible. Yeah. Trying

44:57

to acknowledge, there's so much going on here in that

45:00

like, I don't know,

45:02

I just want to acknowledge with some awareness

45:04

the idea of male ownership, female sexuality, like

45:06

use good sloppy seconds and just say, we're

45:08

not doing that anymore. Well, it was one

45:10

of those things where he just was hammering

45:12

me and I just felt like, yeah, it

45:15

was the only thing I could come up

45:17

with. It was bad, but it was awesome.

45:19

If you know the guy, you would

45:22

have said that. Everyone would vouch. Everyone would vouch.

45:24

It works, because he's like the

45:26

guy that will make fun of everybody constantly.

45:28

And all of a sudden, boom, he's like,

45:31

you got him, man. He shut up. You

45:33

got him. And that's what they said, Rose. They call

45:35

me Rose. You're like, Rose, that was

45:38

hilarious. You moved to 7th and A. 7th

45:40

and A in New York. And where

45:43

did you get your, where did you,

45:45

I sound like Jim Niek, where did

45:47

you get your passion for acting? First

45:49

of all, the balls, the courage. 7th

45:52

and A, I lived in a one bedroom. I had

45:54

bunk beds with my friend, Matt. And

45:57

I remember someone died on a our

46:00

floor. Oh no. And they and

46:02

I walked in one day we both walked

46:04

into the apartment and then I go oh

46:06

my god good lord good

46:08

lord what is that that's something like

46:10

sour milk or something what is that

46:13

and he goes dude someone died and

46:15

sure enough four doors down this guy had

46:17

been decaying rotting four

46:19

doors down. So

46:21

close to it. And we and it smelled for

46:24

months and I remember we put wait after they

46:26

got rid of him I hope. Yes but they

46:28

got we had towels under the door so it

46:30

didn't seep in I mean it was the worst

46:33

and once you smell dead body you'll never forget

46:35

it. You'll never eat a dead

46:37

body again I'll tell you that. No no but

46:39

we would torture our friends so like my friend

46:41

Dave would come over and he'd

46:43

buzz in I go hey dude elevator's

46:48

broken gotta take the stairs and

46:52

then you'd hear him yelling oh my god

46:54

what is going on who

46:57

died in here? 4a down the

46:59

down the hallway died and

47:02

it was we would do that to everybody

47:04

who came in delivery guys whatever just so

47:06

they could please let that guy have been

47:08

a ghost so he could see you using

47:10

his aroma. He would have loved it but

47:13

at least I'm bringing joy. Have you ever smelled a

47:15

dead body? No. Let me tell you

47:17

something you never want to

47:19

and when you do you'll never forget it.

47:21

Yeah it's in your brain now. It

47:24

is if I smell something I know what that

47:26

is if they're like oh that's that's an animal

47:28

I go no no no

47:31

no no that's a dead body. There's a

47:33

distinct difference between a decaying dead animal carcass

47:36

and the human. You're three clicks away from being a

47:38

detective. Yes I am. When I

47:40

was in Uganda there was a bathroom that

47:43

was just a trough big big dugout

47:45

hole and then there were holes in

47:47

the ground and pooped in it. The

47:50

hot prank on this trip was to steal someone's

47:52

camera and take a picture down the hole which

47:55

I think I did with my own camera

47:57

because I remember that soupy nightmare in my

48:00

film. My apologies to the CVS and

48:02

Lexington that had to develop that but

48:05

I remember everyone was like it smells real

48:07

bad it smells real bad and I was

48:09

like get over it. I walked in the

48:11

night almost yacked like there's some smells you

48:14

forget smell is sort of the king. I'm the

48:16

smell guy too. There are things you can see

48:18

that are horrible. Is seeing something

48:20

horrible worse? Because smelling something horrible will make

48:23

you puke. You know I am

48:25

a breath guy like. Haviya tells someone they don't

48:27

have good breath. Let me tell you something. I

48:30

went on a date. Tell them how do you

48:32

tell them I want to know and I'm going

48:34

on the record you meet me and I have

48:36

bad breath you tell me. You

48:38

fucking look at me. You know what I

48:40

will and I do that sometimes. I'll just

48:43

go. I'll just to my friends I go

48:45

whoa dude you gotta get a breath in

48:47

that's fucking much yeah I do that. This

48:50

episode is brought to us by our

52:51

each other and I saw

52:53

him at this venue last

52:56

week and he walked up to me and it

52:59

was jaw-droppingly

53:02

bad. It was

53:05

JDB, man. JDP,

53:10

bro. I

53:13

wanted to tell him with everything I got

53:15

but it smelled so bad that I couldn't

get myself. I was like,

53:20

hey, you should take yourself a breath

53:22

mint or a dental appointment. It's

53:26

not good. The second one is going to

53:28

get some certs or maybe see a professional

53:31

that can scrape that. You

53:33

have to take something that kills gingivitis immediately. There's

53:35

a gas station across the street, chucks in gasoline,

53:37

that's so worse and then light it. Yeah,

53:40

spit it out so there's just a residue, then light it.

53:42

You know how it'll just go, it'll

53:44

burn off? It'll kill whatever it is. Something

53:47

worse than bad breath

53:52

or ding dong

1:02:05

made me cry. And here's the

1:02:07

thing. I didn't cry because

1:02:09

1:02:12

because someone validated it.

1:02:15

Everything that I felt. Yes it's that

I'm also colorblind. Or. U

1:03:17

S. but I'd. But. You have

1:03:20

it bad and no no no he the I kit

1:03:22

known and I can't differentiate a lot of colors. I

1:03:24

just choose not to say you're talking on a year.

1:03:26

when is your brethren. So people

1:03:28

think we read everything. I

1:03:30

am. I get confused right? Grenier? Yes! and

1:03:33

what is the traffic light? The bottom white

1:03:35

look to you. Oh. Interesting. The

1:03:37

bottom line. Is

1:03:39

that the Greenland as the green wood is a

1:03:41

look like to do a grenier green blue. White.

1:03:45

it's a hundred percent white why doesn't look

1:03:47

green at all when you're a kid you

1:03:49

go red light white light well now you

1:03:51

know obviously by because and people would say

1:03:53

rule cause the sky web video the skies

1:03:55

blue what are your genes or most teams

1:03:57

are blue what color is the grass library

1:04:00

knows the grass is green. I'll give you one. Oh

1:04:02

boy, it's light, go ahead. You

1:04:05

could tell me that this

1:04:07

is a very dark red.

1:04:09

No, that's black. That's correct. You could

1:04:12

also tell me that your shirt, which

1:04:14

is also black, is a very dark,

1:04:16

earthy green. Well, I know

1:04:18

it's black, but I also know it's black, but

1:04:20

I can look at it and if you were like, no Pete,

1:04:22

it's green, I'd just be like, of course it is. That's

1:04:25

what happens to me. People will say... But then my

1:04:27

brain will just go, that's green. Yeah. Sometimes

1:04:30

yellow greens or blue greens or

1:04:33

red-blue. Sometimes I just can't like, I

1:04:35

can't do it. Like if somebody said,

1:04:37

the car that hit you, what color

1:04:39

was it? Yeah. I go, to me,

1:04:42

could have been blue, could have been gray.

1:04:44

I don't think it was purple because there

1:04:46

aren't purple cars unless Prince was driving. Which

1:04:48

he didn't drive himself, did he? No. No.

1:04:50

And he's long dead.

1:04:52

Is he long dead? 10 years. Yeah, that's

1:04:55

long dead. Probably 10 years, I think. So

1:04:58

you were saying people always say

1:05:00

to me, are we dispelling some

1:05:02

common colorblind misconceptions? Yeah, well, it's

1:05:04

just... When

1:05:07

I take those tests, if I take any of those tests,

1:05:10

I'll go, what do you guys see in there?

1:05:12

They're like a three. I go, I see absolutely

1:05:14

nothing. Me too. So many times. I

1:05:17

can take tests right now and I'll show you, we'll

1:05:19

go through it. Yeah. And you could just see, no,

1:05:21

I don't... What do you see? I can kind of

1:05:23

make out something there. Is it a two? And magic

1:05:25

eyes aren't for us. You know those magic

1:05:27

eye things? What are those? A picture

1:05:31

emerges, you look at it and move it

1:05:33

away from your face slowly. Oh yeah. Those

1:05:35

are for the color inane. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:05:37

I'm colorblind, baby. People say, I'm so sorry.

1:05:39

I'm like, no, it doesn't really, you know.

1:05:41

But I wear colorblind glasses. I have colorblind

1:05:45

glasses. That's my dick. Hold on, that's

1:05:47

my rock-hard dick. If I

1:05:49

was rock-hard during your show...

1:05:51

Sometimes, if you're in a different time zone, sometimes you'll

1:05:53

get a boner in the middle of the day. Really?

trying to make people laugh.

1:07:39

entertaining them my whole life

1:08:21

they'd talk to me and they thought

1:08:23

I was funny Cs and ah my

1:08:26

relate hard. I just felt like I

1:08:28

was. Kind of a

1:08:30

burden in a way. I felt like I

1:08:32

wasn't just itself. Like maybe I wasn't. Just.

1:08:36

Adam people want me to be

Wow, so there was stuff like

that, but. I.

1:08:57

Think I grew up. And.

1:09:02

It wasn't until the last x amount of years

1:09:04

with everywhere I go I was in the mirror

1:09:06

one day. By ten years

1:09:08

ago or something I said. Have

1:09:11

you ever done this? I looked in the mirror. He

1:09:13

looked in the mirror. Clearly

1:09:15

I haven't have you ever talk to yourself while

1:09:17

looking the mirror. Of course the ever said. Who.

1:09:21

The fuck are you. Know. I think

1:09:23

they. Say. Well. At that time

1:09:25

I said who the fuck are you

1:09:27

I really, I don't you know Lionel

1:09:29

fucking the lamps, I don't know line

1:09:31

and I so I and I talked

1:09:34

to my therapist bad and and we

1:09:36

figured it out but it was just

1:09:38

hiding behind this persona. hiding bots, just

1:09:40

entertainment. Be love, be adored, be touted,

1:09:42

be vests and just cover all that

1:09:44

hurt up and Jurgen of and that's

1:09:46

how you'll survive. Yeah and it is

1:09:48

a surviving method of course. an odd

1:09:50

way I have done that. I've had

1:09:52

bad things to myself and. The I think

1:09:54

I'm and now. I didn't wait

1:09:57

if I try not to do sound. i

1:09:59

try to correct myself And I try to you

1:10:01

know say my gratitude and be just grateful for what

1:10:03

I have and what's crazy is in the mirror It

1:10:05

really works the other way to be like look at

1:10:07

you. I'm proud of you just stuff like that. Yeah

1:10:10

Who cares if it's embarrassing this whole fucking

1:10:13

thing is embarrassing. You know, I

1:10:15

1:10:19

a while. I know you rock hard. I'm semi.

1:10:21

1:10:24

it shouldn't because some people can't get hard. I tried to

1:10:26

do a joke about the H about

I was like it's a weird topic, but I was

1:10:32

like I'm glad one of the reasons it's nice. I

1:10:35

don't know how to say it. I Was

1:10:37

like I feel for the gay male community because

1:10:40

I've lost my erection with a woman and that's

1:10:42

a terrible thing But imagine you

1:10:44

1:13:19

mushrooms. Wait a minute. Yeah.

1:13:22

Yeah. I remember I

1:13:24

was carrying, I was playing gay, but

1:13:26

1:13:32

Keanu's character comes in and goes, Sarah,

1:13:36

I know doctors. Fuck. Shit.

1:13:40

1:14:21

funny moment. It was just all his difference. But it

1:14:23

was a difference and I loved his work ethic and

1:14:26

he got really, he's really hard on himself and he

1:14:28

was beautiful and he's wonderful to work with. I have

1:14:30

so much video of him and me fucking around. You

1:14:32

and K. Reeves. Yeah, me and K. Reeves. Not

1:14:35

1:23:16

Pistachios, Yeah,

1:23:18

one of them is a delightful

1:23:20

taste on my tongue and one

1:23:22

of them is John Travolta being

1:23:24

1:23:47

Scuba Motors. over the bronx

1:23:49

marvin hamlisch know what is this season

1:23:51

crime i also want to go on

1:23:54

the records i know i'm wrong i

1:23:56

know i'm wrong vice when a medium

1:23:58

bag a stash Cracked,

1:24:00

you can't grow a sash, remember? Me neither. Yeah.

1:24:04

If it's a flavored pistachio, meaning some of them

1:24:06

have more flavor than others, so it doesn't have

1:24:08

to be positioned. Eat one

1:24:10

and it's like 10 times the

1:24:13

juice. Do you know what

1:24:15

I'm talking about, Katie? One

1:24:17

of them got more powder or whatever it

1:24:19

is. Right. It's this

1:24:21

rush. Now I'm just eating looking for that one. I'm like

1:24:23

a rat in a fucking case. Ah,

1:24:25

the chase. The chase. I'm like, I

1:24:28

can't believe I'm not into gambling. I

1:24:30

got that brain. See, I think, you

1:24:33

know what's funny is I'm not a

1:24:35

drinker and I have a brother

1:24:37

that's a big drinker. Right. Yeah.

1:24:40

Who's the favorite now? How did you remember that? Oh,

1:24:43

I think I mentioned his name earlier. Well, you said

1:24:45

remember, so yeah. Oh, yeah. But

1:24:47

I don't drink because I don't

1:24:50

like how it makes me feel. I just feel like

1:24:52

crap after, so I rarely

1:24:54

drink. So I'm surprised

1:24:56

that my vice is like, I need

1:24:58

to smoke. I need to eat. I

1:25:00

need to, you know, more popcorn, more

1:25:03

popcorn, more when I'm comfortable, when I'm

1:25:05

comfortable and that's when it happens. Yeah.

1:25:08

Two things for you. Let's see what

1:25:10

we can do. One, when you're eating,

1:25:13

blood goes to your stomach, so you're probably thinking less.

1:25:15

It's like changing the operating system of your

1:25:18

body. Digesting, even

1:25:20

overeating can be

1:25:22

preferable to overthinking that feeling.

1:25:25

Two, nicotine, I actually

1:25:27

quit. Did I tell you I quit? Yeah, we talked about

1:25:29

that. What were you doing, smoking? Gum.

1:25:32

I just like that. Yeah, I picked nikorette

1:25:35

mints, but only two milligrams.

1:25:37

Nice. See, I'm such an

1:25:39

ag. I was up to the six milligram gum and I'd have

1:25:41

10 pieces of it a day. That's a

1:25:43

lot. I'd probably have these two milligrams, probably 15

1:25:46

a day. All right. But it's only two

1:25:48

milligrams. But still. I'm glad you're on

1:25:50

the nicotine by itself. Yeah. I'm

1:25:52

surprised that doesn't help you with the smoking. Maybe there's

1:25:54

something else going on. No, no, it's been four days.

1:25:57

Without a cig? Yeah, I mean it's not much, but

1:25:59

it's... Don't make a that broke where it a

1:26:01

little bad that's great good for you but ah i was is

1:26:03

1:30:27

to be with her and I

1:30:30

want to spend the rest of my life with her and so I'm

1:30:32

not crying by the way I'm just itching my eye. That's

1:30:35

the clip by the way and we're going to cut out the part

1:30:37

where you say thank you and we're going to make it slow mo.

1:30:40

I just want to find the one. Then

1:30:47

it cuts to you doing the Travolta making

1:30:49

fun of Grease. Oh baby we can solve

1:30:51

this with combs. Combs

1:30:56

roll up the scuff. All right.

1:30:59

No but like look for me is I

1:31:01

want to be in a relationship. I seriously

1:31:04

want to be with someone. I'm working

1:31:06

on myself a lot and I'm really

1:31:08

trying to like I think I stand

1:31:10

things longer than I should now where

1:31:12

when I was younger I would just

1:31:14

go oh that's I'm out. Like now

1:31:17

I'm not out. Now I'm like hey

1:31:19

let's put this on hold here. Let's

1:31:21

think about this. This isn't a reason

1:31:23

to let's and and when you

1:31:25

let things kind of go and and aren't

1:31:28

abrupt with your decision making. Yeah.

1:31:31

You know sometimes but sometimes

1:31:34

you stay in it too long. Yeah. So

1:31:36

it's both. It's either. Well both are injustices

1:31:39

aren't they? Right. How many

1:31:41

times have you wanted to leave your wife? 0.0. How

1:31:45

many times do you want to leave you? 0.0. Never. What? What are you fucking

1:31:49

nuts? You guys are massively in love. We talking

1:31:51

about Pete and Val right now? Pete

1:31:54

and Val are perfect. Does she ever does

1:31:56

she ever get mad at you? Does she ever yell at you? What?

1:32:00

Sorry, we talked about Pete and Val right now. Yeah No,

1:32:03

bro You guys are in

1:32:05

love as much as in love you could be I'll

1:32:07

give you an example I'm trying to think of

1:32:10

sometimes on the Friday day I do feel like

1:32:12

you do love I mean I could tell by

1:32:14

the way you've talked about her I appreciate that

1:32:16

and and I I'm annoyed with myself that that

1:32:19

there could be a relationship like that

1:32:21

But we really are very well suited to one another

1:32:24

The way that we have a fight The

1:32:28

danger in val and I's relationship and she knows

1:32:30

as we talk about this all the time is

1:32:32

that she won't tell me her feelings If they're

1:32:34

inconvenient, so if she is having an issue with

1:32:36

me I have to sort of tease

1:32:38

it out of her and I do it's always a

1:32:40

problem Yeah, that can be a problem Especially if you

1:32:43

don't do at the end and then it lingers on

1:32:45

and there's a sense of resentment or something That's building

1:32:47

that could have been taken care of right? That's why

1:32:49

Alan did button we talk about

1:32:51

this all the time He says

1:32:53

a very healthy question in relationships is to

1:32:56

chills Is it too cold in

1:32:58

here? No, I would just multiply And

1:33:01

then we get out there with dice roll

1:33:04

the dice in the corner of the bodega. All right,

1:33:06

but what happens with? oh,

1:33:09

I'll I Have

1:33:11

to joke about it I go like there

1:33:14

was a time she was very sad and I knew that

1:33:16

and then I invited a kid and

1:33:18

their parents over and Then

1:33:20

while everyone was there I just went in my office

1:33:22

and like did some work so that's a

1:33:24

fight I pulled a boner right like I that's a mistake and

1:33:27

Later I had to say to her because I got the

1:33:29

sense that it was wrong But she's not gonna yell at

1:33:32

me and she's not gonna shame me or anything like that

1:33:34

But we have to clear the air Alan de Botton

1:33:36

says the question in the relationship you should ask Takes

1:33:39

a lot of vulnerability is to say have

1:33:41

I done anything this week rational or not

1:33:43

that annoyed you and and

1:33:46

the key is It

1:33:48

can be irrational like it doesn't

1:33:50

have to be like something that was annoying It can

1:33:52

just be like it hurt your

1:33:54

child's self. So in that way, I'll say to

1:33:56

Val. I'll go like Boy,

1:33:58

I was a jackass for I

1:34:00

invited Eric and Niko over and

1:34:02

I knew you were depressed and

1:34:04

I'll know how mad or how

1:34:06

much hurt she was by how

1:34:09

hard she corrects me and if

1:34:11

she goes no you weren't a jackass I'll

1:34:13

know we're good but if she goes like no

1:34:15

I'm like ah I was a

1:34:17

buffoon you're fine I was a buffoon right

1:34:19

and then I'll say that and I'll get

1:34:21

it on the record I was a buffoon

1:34:23

and then I'll apologize so there takes some

1:34:25

banegal banegal funnegal yeah you know I'm

1:34:28

different I'm not I

1:34:30

try not to be passive-aggressive with

1:34:32

anything right PA but

1:34:34

I'm very like when I call

1:34:36

I call it how I see it

1:34:39

yeah so for instance if you know

1:34:41

I'm a relationship with

1:34:44

somebody and I'm like I'm like

1:34:46

you're so loud can

1:34:48

you just number down a little bit you know

1:34:50

I'll just joke like that I'll say something like

1:34:53

that or that lies out with me by the

1:34:55

way she'll look Kool-Aid man yeah that just means

1:34:57

I'm being the Kool-Aid man yeah we all know what that

1:34:59

means or I'll say you know like be

1:35:02

a little nicer you can be

1:35:04

a little nicer yeah be a

1:35:06

little so bossy here you know

1:35:11

but I've had people say you that was that

1:35:13

was rude and I go oh my god I'm

1:35:15

so sorry was it when I'm correct

1:35:18

or no about something it was something yeah but

1:35:20

I like when people kind of correct me but

1:35:23

even if you don't see

1:35:25

it if somebody goes you're being really go you could

1:35:27

sit there and good one of two ways you go what are

1:35:29

you talking about I wasn't being rude I can

1:35:31

I go I'm

1:35:34

sorry you saw it that way I didn't mean to

1:35:36

be rude yeah you know and that could end it

1:35:38

in a nice way yeah but um but

1:35:40

I'm not combative I'm not like I

1:35:42

don't want to be combative I wanna

1:35:44

you know but I think I'm also

1:35:46

looking for who cares what

1:35:50

1:35:52

for I think what I'm looking for I'll find

1:35:54

Want someone who's damage or wound

1:36:34

mirrors yours? I'm

1:36:37

putting words in your mouth, but most people are. Is.

1:36:40

Asserting. His

1:36:42

geico. Fit

1:36:46

that's kind of sweet. What I'm saying

1:36:48

is valid. I growing up religious vow

1:36:50

and I having similar dynamics of their

1:36:52

families officer stuff again Allen Day buttons

1:36:54

and wish I knew how a said

1:36:56

it's like spelled Elaine do bottle He

1:36:58

talks about like when you're on a

1:37:01

date and he died. There just wasn't

1:37:03

that spark he sang. What you're actually

1:37:05

saying is I didn't see the potential

1:37:07

for this person to hurt me in

1:37:09

the way that I need to be

1:37:11

hurt. Scary. I'll. Unpack that a little

1:37:13

bit fast. I'm enough like Sal's

1:37:15

parent that damaged her the most

1:37:17

so she can do that work.

1:37:20

Psychologically. With me in a

1:37:22

safe way but that makes me interesting to

1:37:24

her the fact that I am a blowhard

1:37:26

that I can be cool aid man that

1:37:28

I can be their lives us but I'm

1:37:30

also say some also person that will say

1:37:32

I was a cool a man I was

1:37:34

too much. You're right that's healing her past

1:37:36

traumas. so when we're talking about spark as

1:37:38

much as sexuality as of it's like. How.

1:37:41

Are our wounds gonna reconcile themselves in this relationship

1:37:43

and he could be on a date with somebody?

1:37:45

You is funny with girly Ali since to when

1:37:48

you say it's I want them to play with

1:37:50

names you like I want someone who was also

1:37:52

robbed of their childhood diseases a guess another professionals

1:37:54

but when wounds line up. You. Could heal

1:37:56

them together. It's funny you

1:37:59

say that because. I've heard so many.

1:38:02

Different. Things about that

1:38:04

were don't. Go.

1:38:06

Out with someone who is like you

1:38:08

don't go out was somewhat. Now it's

1:38:10

different. Like I don't want to date

1:38:12

someone who has the same energy the

1:38:15

same either us or retention. The negative

1:38:17

Enough This this sort of via i

1:38:19

know what you're saying and but ah

1:38:21

still say that I'll say you know.

1:38:23

You want somebody who has a big family.

1:38:26

You want somebody you had a good

1:38:28

childhood. You want somebody who has patients

1:38:30

with you as you want somebody who's

1:38:33

the all the things he didn't get.

1:38:35

Those are the things you want and

1:38:37

in a woman or a person and

1:38:40

so you know if someone doesn't have

1:38:42

patience with me is someone if I,

1:38:44

I, I think. I

1:38:46

said this to. An

1:38:49

ex girlfriend once I said. You.

1:38:51

Know. I.

1:38:53

Think about when I'm playing music

1:38:55

and if I do another oblige

1:38:57

show. And I get up. And

1:39:00

the only person that I'd be really

1:39:02

nervous about playing in front of. His.

1:39:05

You. May.

1:39:07

Pete Holmes. Know. Is that

1:39:09

proverbially aggro? Yeah. And.

1:39:13

I. Wasn't. It was just

1:39:15

like and I figured out why. And

1:39:18

I told her I said I didn't make

1:39:21

a suit. She says she said why. And

1:39:24

I said because I think. That.

1:39:28

Is he see me? Fail. You

1:39:30

ever see me? Sox? You'll.

1:39:32

Go away Ill you'll you'll you'll

1:39:34

leave. Yeah.

1:39:36

Rosy. Eyed,

1:39:39

I feel you so hard right now.

1:39:41

I feel you being so hard right

1:39:43

now. I'm just saying like. The

1:39:46

love the you need is that good.

1:39:48

Good. unconditional. I'm gonna say this I've

1:39:50

said a million times: I: it's not

1:39:52

even embarrassing anymore. The first time with

1:39:55

her was embarrassing as Ice or my

1:39:57

daughter's five when ten years she'll tell

1:39:59

have. Awareness of what her dad doesn't like? What of

1:40:01

in ten years or not doing anything cool. I.

1:40:05

And my wife cause you'll be her dad. Like.

1:40:07

What the fuck are you talking about and you

1:40:09

it sound like I'm relating? We. Both

1:40:12

need that. Sort of like

1:40:14

what he talking about. Your

1:40:16

my person am curfew stunk

1:40:18

I needed. Guarantee you need

1:40:21

someone does something that loves

1:40:23

it transcends your persona, effects,

1:40:25

personality. Comes. From Persona

1:40:27

was comes from Mask. This is

1:40:29

where James Finley taught me and

1:40:31

in a relationship or finding someone

1:40:33

that we can trust to slowly

1:40:35

take our masks off and look

1:40:37

at each other nakedly. And. Say

1:40:40

I see who you really are, That's okay

1:40:42

and that's a risk for both parts as

1:40:44

so scary. I know that's wait, wait you,

1:40:46

we're on the not as you don't he

1:40:48

may Encouragement: I'm just saying you're on the

1:40:50

right tracks knowing that that's what you're looking

1:40:52

for. Yeah, someone who can be compassionate. P

1:40:54

M M M Y Do you think I

1:40:56

said those things? Why it. Why do you

1:40:58

think I said it that to disperse And

1:41:00

why do you think I said you were

1:41:02

hoping that I would say don't be stupid.

1:41:04

Well now of course. but like. Because.

1:41:08

I. Have

1:41:10

always felt that you know it's like

1:41:12

the other We say all be careful

1:41:14

when everything's going great as you're doing

1:41:16

this you didn't as everybody wants to

1:41:19

hang out with us but weights you're

1:41:21

not. Wait to see who's around when

1:41:23

you're not doing well. I was make

1:41:25

you an agent am no loot tribe

1:41:27

called quest yeah we're yeah that's hero

1:41:29

but when I say wound I'm not

1:41:31

saying it is a bad thing that

1:41:33

are wound yeah I'm not shiny and

1:41:35

also I would be. It's.

1:41:38

In my case, it's derivative of how

1:41:40

I look at other people. I'm like,

1:41:43

you better be impressive. Or. I'm

1:41:45

not gonna like you. and where did I learn

1:41:47

that? I don't know and I'm working on that

1:41:49

by the way. Yeah, but we just got a

1:41:51

new dog. Was going to sound like tangents. I'm

1:41:53

so impressed with this dog and I love. And.

1:41:56

we had famously my my older guy i had

1:41:58

i had more issues with that And

1:42:00

now I have this like big impressive handsome

1:42:02

dog and I'm like goddamn and I'm like

1:42:04

fuck. I'm so obvious You

1:42:07

know what I mean? Not only do I have to

1:42:09

be impressive put my dog has to be impressive like

1:42:11

what a joke Where did I learn those? We're

1:42:14

so hard on ourselves and others It's

1:42:17

true. It is true. I you know,

1:42:19

it's um Yeah,

1:42:23

I it's funny because

1:42:25

I tend to be Everyone's

1:42:27

cheerleader in a lot of ways. I'm

1:42:30

the one who's like I feel I want

1:42:33

to see them succeed I want to

1:42:35

see them But also

1:42:37

I have that fear that again

1:42:40

They'll abandon you. Yeah, you know Oh wait

1:42:42

till my friend Rob has a girlfriend that

1:42:45

he's in love with and then he won't

1:42:47

have any time for me anymore We won't

1:42:49

be having rehearsal anymore. Oh wait till so-and-so

1:42:51

becomes a big way. They're gonna forget about

1:42:53

me It's happened in my

1:42:55

life before so there's always

1:42:58

been that stuff with me and and it's it's

1:43:00

it's It's okay

1:43:02

because I understand it now that I go

1:43:04

to therapy. I you being here. Yeah hearing

1:43:06

your advice Yeah, because you've lived it and

1:43:09

you and are living it and so this

1:43:13

These are good things to hear because well,

1:43:15

they're not aloneness is gonna help I think

1:43:17

that's why we're talking about this But there

1:43:19

had to be a certain degree of abandonment

1:43:21

from your family And then even

1:43:23

the family is your surrogate family is your friend

1:43:26

families those just kind of by default Do

1:43:29

kind of fall away Because yeah,

1:43:31

I mean, it's just what it is. And

1:43:34

then and you tell me a lot of

1:43:36

times People with

1:43:38

abandonment stuff. I won't say issues

1:43:41

will go like let's just end this because we know that's

1:43:44

where it's going. Anyway Like let's

1:43:46

just let's just call this why draw it

1:43:48

out Like and then also to

1:43:50

be the one that ends it I'm

1:43:52

gonna punch you in the face before you can punch

1:43:54

me at the McDonald's. I Bring

1:43:57

everything in I Bring everything in

1:43:59

at the end. Yeah, that's good going. We're not going

1:44:01

to figured I'd as it is beautiful. I think people

1:44:03

are going to get a lot of value out of

1:44:05

you and your honesty. And people do. Love.

1:44:08

You and and what you're sharing and what you

1:44:10

give. it's really powerful. I loved when I did

1:44:12

your podcast I love and you're coming back. I'll

1:44:15

come back any time with like it's really a

1:44:17

you've made your wound useful. I have and I

1:44:19

never have. You know it's funny was the park

1:44:21

as have told you this but ah in our

1:44:24

first public give good voice soon after you know

1:44:26

people you make some money on my other great.

1:44:29

As they do a podcast and nobody was we're

1:44:31

listening. And. Than as like when

1:44:33

we do in the store. And. Then oh, enjoy

1:44:35

listening. And then I'm like about a

1:44:37

quip a man something keeps me going

1:44:39

and then one day. I

1:44:42

started just being really honest. And

1:44:45

talking about my life and talking about mental

1:44:47

health and dysfunction and anxiety and all these

1:44:49

things I never really talked about. And.

1:44:53

People. Started to gravitate towards it because

1:44:55

I was be real and I didn't

1:44:58

understand and then it became something that

1:45:00

is just like this. this family and

1:45:02

it's it's yeah it's awesome because. I.

1:45:05

Feel like it is. It's a safe

1:45:07

zone. It is and it's safe for

1:45:09

me. It's safe for the audience, the

1:45:12

also the alone or on in Wales.

1:45:14

Yeah yeah, I'm growing up p Yeah.

1:45:16

But. Training wheels are good and growing up as

1:45:19

good as doing it in this Paris social

1:45:21

way. One sided. Was. A nice way

1:45:23

for people like us. I always say this but and

1:45:25

Katie a laugh. It's true when we started I was

1:45:27

I gonna. I'm not going to talk about my divorce

1:45:29

has to embarrassing. Low.

1:45:32

On the whole episode Two, I

1:45:34

mean. Slow. Gas Leagues is

1:45:36

more and more and more and more and

1:45:38

more in our dislike it there's a shorthand

1:45:40

and and that that was me as an

1:45:42

achiever going you'll only let me if I'm

1:45:44

shiny going like well here's a time I

1:45:46

shit my pants. Here's a time I did

1:45:48

this hence and then than the fan base

1:45:50

grew. We should all be so lucky. To.

1:45:53

Be celebrated. For. our flaws

1:45:55

and it you don't have to be a podcast or

1:45:57

isn't that funny meal is a funny we're saying i

1:45:59

mean And it's almost like you're

1:46:02

getting rewarded for being

1:46:04

honest. We are

1:46:06

getting rewarded for telling

1:46:08

our story, for being direct

1:46:11

as we can be, for

1:46:14

talking about things that no one talks about.

1:46:17

And it's a beautiful thing. And on

1:46:19

top of it, we're, we are, we're,

1:46:21

it's, we're receiving love. We're

1:46:23

feeling, it's cathartic.

1:46:26

And you know, I mean, you never want to

1:46:29

talk about your divorce. And then you sold the

1:46:31

show sort of loosely based and, and

1:46:33

it really kicked everything off in a

1:46:35

lot of ways. And you never

1:46:37

thought in a million years that would happen. You

1:46:39

know, I didn't think that would happen either with

1:46:42

me, with me with, you know, you know,

1:46:44

writing stories and talking about

1:46:46

my childhood. And the first thing I wrote,

1:46:49

I sold and it was about my

1:46:51

childhood. And it

1:46:53

was the first thing they always say, write what you know, write what

1:46:56

you know. I always think about Kumail when he was coming

1:46:58

up. I tried to get

1:47:01

you Kumail, you already had him. Oh, welcome. He's

1:47:03

come on twice. Fucking shit. And on my face. Oh

1:47:06

my God. No. But

1:47:09

when Kumail was coming up, we started together.

1:47:12

And he obviously and rightly didn't want

1:47:14

to do any anything about his life.

1:47:16

He didn't want to be known as

1:47:18

a Pakistani comedian. So he had very

1:47:21

non tied to a deep whatever

1:47:24

his background material, and then his

1:47:26

first big break movie, The

1:47:29

Big Sick was all about all the stuff that

1:47:31

he didn't want to talk about, not just what

1:47:33

happened with his partner, but also arranged marriages and

1:47:35

all these cultural things. And

1:47:38

there it is. But there's like, these

1:47:40

aren't just clues to how to

1:47:42

make it in podcasting or movies.

1:47:44

These are the universe rewards

1:47:47

certain behaviors and we're drawn

1:47:49

in the same way. I

1:47:51

can't quite articulate it, but in the same

1:47:53

way it, we see it in

1:47:55

matter, we see it in chemicals, we see

1:47:58

it under the microscope, we just see there's

1:48:00

a lot. of something going where

1:48:02

if it's... I

1:48:05

was just watching the thing about how they're

1:48:07

throwing away the time-space model. They're doing all

1:48:09

these thrown protons of

1:48:11

things, colliders and all that stuff, and

1:48:14

I can't explain it. So

1:48:16

please forgive my layman's explanation, but let's

1:48:18

say they're in one of those huge

1:48:20

proton collider things and science is doing

1:48:23

it, and all these experiments presume space

1:48:25

time. And when they

1:48:27

do the experiment it prints out like 350 pages of math

1:48:29

and they're

1:48:32

like Jesus Christ. It would take

1:48:34

a supercomputer seven days running

1:48:36

constantly to do this equation. Then they drop

1:48:38

space time, and one of the things that's

1:48:40

happening in physics in certain areas of physics

1:48:43

is that they're saying space time

1:48:45

is unreliable, it's not true, it's

1:48:48

not actually what we thought it

1:48:50

was. So they're removing space time

1:48:52

from these exams, from tests, and

1:48:56

then math that comes out is like three

1:48:59

equations that you could do in your

1:49:01

head. And they see this as like

1:49:03

these indications, these winks. I

1:49:05

heard Rupert Speyer talking about this with a

1:49:07

scientist. It's like the universe going warmer, warmer.

1:49:10

So even mathematically and scientifically there's

1:49:13

these rewards for like that's right.

1:49:15

Keep it simple, keep it lean, keep it

1:49:18

small, and we'll give you these little breadcrumbs

1:49:20

that let you know you're on to something.

1:49:22

Look, it's three equations. It was 3,000 equations.

1:49:24

That's three equations. You might be onto something.

1:49:26

Maybe space time isn't what you think it

1:49:28

is. Similarly, and I know this might sound

1:49:30

like a jump, you're sharing your

1:49:32

heart and then your heart

1:49:34

starts to blossom. In the same way

1:49:36

that a flower gets sunlight and soil

1:49:38

and water, there's equations to everything. And

1:49:41

I'm not saying there's a universal theory,

1:49:43

I'm just saying there's feedback. There's feedback

1:49:45

everywhere you look, which is why the

1:49:47

advice I always give people is follow

1:49:49

the dream that's following you. Because there's

1:49:51

feedback. You'll start getting math back that's

1:49:54

simpler relationally. You'll get math

1:49:56

back and you go, I can do this

1:49:58

in my head. It's not as complicated,

1:50:01

it's elegant, it's lean, it's clean. That's

1:50:03

how you know in everything. By the way,

1:50:07

having a good teacher helps. Simplify

1:50:10

things. Sometimes I need simplifying. I

1:50:12

remember in high school, I didn't

1:50:14

do well, I was all over the place, no

1:50:16

one had patience with me. But

1:50:19

then a teacher

1:50:21

came in as a substitute and

1:50:23

it was literature, English and literature.

1:50:26

Mr. Bergstrom? No, Mrs. Muller. And

1:50:30

her disposition was

1:50:32

just so, I just felt

1:50:35

like, ah, she's

1:50:38

so nice. I

1:50:40

want to listen to her. She's,

1:50:43

I wish she was my mom. And

1:50:46

she starts talking about Romeo and

1:50:48

Juliet, that was where we're going to

1:50:50

study. And I was scared, I

1:50:52

was like, I don't like reading, I don't like. And

1:50:58

she made it so

1:51:00

interesting. She's

1:51:03

like the Capulets, and then there's this

1:51:05

family, and then the Montagues. And these

1:51:08

two families, and she would tell the story.

1:51:11

And I get like a B plus that

1:51:14

semester. And it's because

1:51:16

somebody just,

1:51:22

I just reacted to something. I

1:51:24

reacted to her being,

1:51:26

her personality, her

1:51:28

patience, all these things.

1:51:31

And I think that helps, simplifying

1:51:33

things, but coming from,

1:51:35

especially a kid, or when you're sitting

1:51:37

here in layman's terms and talking about

1:51:40

someone, making everyone not going

1:51:42

over people's heads. Just talking

1:51:44

about the simple things, whether it's love,

1:51:46

whether it's mental health, whatever it is,

1:51:49

and just being raw

1:51:51

and honest. And it just, I

1:51:53

think it's attractive. I was

1:51:55

attracted to How

1:51:58

she was presenting this. What she

1:52:00

was talking about and I wanted to

1:52:02

invest in that. Yeah, I would say

1:52:05

that Romeo and Juliet was the excuse

1:52:07

for her to transmit something that was

1:52:09

way different from the curriculum. And.

1:52:11

That's what we relate to yeah without

1:52:13

a teacher in any person and any

1:52:15

dates in the same. Whether you might

1:52:17

be picking up on a date or

1:52:19

this person's head wound and mirrors mine

1:52:22

when you meet someone who's like grounded

1:52:24

in we could say love or they're

1:52:26

being yeah or their self and they

1:52:28

transmit. That's through the. Curriculum.

1:52:30

Of Romeo and Juliet, you're picking up on

1:52:32

something. New way more.

1:52:35

Special. Than. Done. Just

1:52:37

am there. Were those people? Are you

1:52:40

know those? I think

1:52:42

those people on the way that you

1:52:44

need those people that show interest in

1:52:46

you. They believe in you and there

1:52:48

aren't many and you don't need a

1:52:50

lot. I mean if you have that

1:52:52

one person who believes in you, Is.

1:52:55

It just can change your life. And man

1:52:57

in there are those people along the way

1:52:59

there's a handful. Yep, that just gave me

1:53:01

enough yep to keep going to Ever. Had

1:53:04

him on the final. Know.

1:53:06

I'd recommend that. I had Mr. Brown on

1:53:09

my part on the spot which was asked

1:53:11

for my high school teacher. write that down.

1:53:13

I am I review their yeah we got

1:53:15

go. Meaning. Of life size

1:53:17

debt over didn't When we die, it's over.

1:53:19

Ah, I'm. No.

1:53:22

I don't. I don't want to

1:53:24

think that I watched your stand

1:53:26

up special and how you talk

1:53:29

about nothing near and his sister

1:53:31

I eat. I agree with you.

1:53:34

Oh. It's nothing. Nothing is nothing.

1:53:36

Yeah, so ah, they're creating universes.

1:53:38

Yeah, don't be afraid of it.

1:53:41

I look, I don't know what

1:53:43

it is, but there's something inside

1:53:45

of me innately. That.

1:53:48

I just are not a religious

1:53:50

person. I don't go to temple

1:53:52

or shirts arm. But. i

1:53:54

have a tough time of people saying i

1:53:56

am atheist i don't believe in any sane

1:53:59

and i don't I just don't

1:54:01

understand that and I don't

1:54:03

know for me. I just have this this

1:54:05

feeling I have this faith called faith that

1:54:09

there's something else and I

1:54:12

like to think that and I don't and I know

1:54:14

it's funny. I don't think that because I Want

1:54:17

to go to heaven so I got to believe it's

1:54:19

just something I just feel and I see it every

1:54:21

day in little things

1:54:23

I go ha how is how

1:54:26

is How

1:54:28

is that? possible ah

1:54:31

And there are those little things

1:54:33

those little clues that were given And

1:54:36

so because my grandmother says you know I

1:54:38

really she's she's been so sad after my

1:54:40

grandpa passed Even now I have to

1:54:42

spend a couple years and you

1:54:44

know someone will say oh, yeah God or something. I go you know

1:54:46

what? Blanche is

1:54:49

gonna see her of again. She's going to

1:54:51

she goes that's nice Mikey. I like to

1:54:53

believe that too Mike you

1:54:55

believe what you want to believe and and

1:55:00

You know I wish it was quantifiable

1:55:03

yeah, but I Just

1:55:06

don't think That's it the

1:55:08

lights are out and there's nothing left.

1:55:10

Maybe we try the spirit transcends maybe

1:55:14

I Don't know. I'm not a

1:55:16

I Would

1:55:18

say if I can offer one thing before

1:55:20

you know is that your intuition that there's

1:55:22

something else the

1:55:27

Knowingness that you are the being that you are

1:55:30

Consciousness that you are that's

1:55:32

the mystery that you're going like I

1:55:34

keep coming back to it It's what you are you're

1:55:36

not as you might be seeing

1:55:39

little winks and clues from the universe I

1:55:41

think that's definitely part of the game But

1:55:43

it's that with which you're seeing in the

1:55:45

upon a shots. They say that it's not

1:55:47

that which the eye can see It's that

1:55:49

whereby the eye can see it's seeing it's

1:55:52

perceiving its consciousness So when

1:55:54

people go around going like I don't know why,

1:55:56

but I can't shake that something's going on here.

1:55:58

It's because it's you. You

1:56:01

the Spring of we called the spring

1:56:03

of Life but. What?

1:56:06

With what is your experience

1:56:08

known. That. Is the secret

1:56:10

bad As God? God isn't something. we

1:56:12

don't look out at. God, we look

1:56:15

out from God. That's.

1:56:17

And got isn't a being. God is being

1:56:19

itself. So you're as close to the fucking

1:56:21

jackpot as you could be. So no wonder

1:56:23

you're going around going like I know, I

1:56:25

don't know. I also will say in defense

1:56:27

of are atheists friends the beautifully you say

1:56:29

no they don't say they don't go wrong

1:56:32

or out I'm at a golf I don't

1:56:34

see the evidence for us are so but

1:56:36

again you don't see the evidence that there's

1:56:38

not. Do. The right

1:56:40

I exactly. I mean yeah they get I

1:56:42

have more gentle and it's it's funny and

1:56:45

I have friends are atheists. I love to

1:56:47

death but I'm like a huge smile inside

1:56:49

you hadn't that won't see that. Have faith

1:56:51

in something. Why would say that with words

1:56:54

you're looking for? Evidence is the evidence. Will.

1:56:56

Not only that but like I mean this has

1:56:59

been talked about ad nauseum. but like in I

1:57:01

just keep reminding and ago. Well.

1:57:03

As moons. Single.

1:57:06

Celled organisms? Okay, with who may

1:57:08

those. Okay and them.

1:57:10

Before that the Big Bang Theory and

1:57:12

know that happen to them. Before that

1:57:15

there was. Loses blackness

1:57:17

right? Number. Blackness Or

1:57:19

something. So. Thirty Three

1:57:21

Whining. Keep going. Keep going. Why? Why?

1:57:24

Why Just it. Just it. Things just

1:57:26

happen for no reason. They just keep

1:57:28

happening. And and and evolution. And it

1:57:30

just an Ugly Betty in the dryer.

1:57:33

Or it's just. it's just. it's so.

1:57:36

Absurd to also think that way. Though.

1:57:39

We weren't created that. That's just how

1:57:41

I feel. right?

1:57:43

I. See or I see the potential for arrogant on

1:57:45

both sides. I know exactly know it's God. I know

1:57:47

there's no God. It's always in the middle, said so

1:57:49

is in the middle. And maybe that's the way it's

1:57:51

supposed to be because you know, lot of everybody knew

1:57:53

there was a god. No.

1:57:56

killing i'm just gum gonna be
