00:06:02.000We've made fun of the person that you know that don't have a thumb, but I'm telling you, doing this after me surviving this gunshot shit, just butting in my pants become a task that I took for granted.
00:06:14.000The point I'm making is that you're lucky to have all of your limbs, all of your shit on your body.
00:08:02.000But me, I know it shouldn't be like this, and I know it's like, but what does it represent?
00:08:08.000When I see motherfuckers Like that, in a situation that no mask, not social distancing, I just assume that they've all been tested and they've all been in a bubble situation.
00:08:19.000Well, that's because you've been in a bunch of bubble situations.
00:08:22.000Like when Dave did the shows down in Yellow Springs.
00:08:40.000And you forced that, that she had to do it.
00:08:43.000Well, I just suggested it'd probably be a good idea for everybody.
00:08:45.000Yeah, but it was good for everybody, and you knew that, so we know that's a bubble world.
00:08:50.000But it's not surprising that you see the governor in a situation like that, because I'm pretty sure, it doesn't send out the right message, but I'm pretty sure that the motherfuckers was tested.
00:08:59.000Well, that's what he should have said.
00:09:01.000They can't say that because they're a politician, and everybody would go, wait a minute, if I just test people, can I go to work?
00:09:06.000Like what Dave's doing with all his shows.
00:09:08.000Test people in the audience and you can have a full audience.
00:09:10.000You know you have a bunch of people that are healthy.
00:09:15.000You're taking the measures to create that safety.
00:13:46.000It's not like the same kind of hunting, because you're relying 100% on the dogs.
00:13:51.000Usually there's two groups of dogs, depending on what animal you do.
00:13:53.000Like if they hunt mountain lions, they'll use a certain kind of dog that'll obey the dog, that'll obey the mountain lion.
00:14:00.000But if they hunt pigs, a lot of times they'll use an animal that lets you know where the pig is, and then they release other animals that hold the pig.
00:14:41.000Because this is the best way that they can get food.
00:14:44.000Like you can trap this animal and then that's how you're going to get the animal.
00:14:48.000If you just rely on just hunting with like a rifle or a bow and arrow and real thick shit with wild pigs, you're probably going to go hungry.
00:15:57.000They killed off a lot of sea turtles, because they would take sea turtles, and they would flip them over and put them on their back, and they'd be good for weeks.
00:20:51.000Yeah, hamburgers, unless you are right there when they grind it or you go to a top shelf restaurant where they literally, they'll take a piece of chuck roast or even filet mignon.
00:21:01.000Like some of them do it with like a lean cut.
00:21:03.000If you get a burger that's ground out of filet mignon, you're in the right neighborhood.
00:21:36.000You want motherfuckers to see the knife, and you do your picture, Joe, and it's like you waited for the blood to sweat at a certain temperature.
00:21:44.000You know when it looks the bloodiest, and that's the shot you always get.
00:28:52.000There are people that are rightly upset at people taking risks because those people that do take risks could then get sick.
00:28:59.000And if they're irresponsible enough to take a risk and get sick, they might be irresponsible enough to go out and mingle with people when they know they're sick.
00:29:32.000People make the argument, but what if I go to the grocery store and I have my mask on and there's this old lady that doesn't have her mask on?
00:29:40.000Then I don't think you should go places where it could be people that...
00:33:05.000Well, that's why people are particularly upset at this Gavin Newsom shit.
00:33:09.000Because he's been the one telling us, you can't have large gatherings for Thanksgiving, stay home, social distance, wear a mask in between bites of food.
00:34:05.000Because even though you say you do it for the people, you have to be likable or have some type of personality to connect with those people.
00:34:27.000We're going through all of this shit, and even with this last election, whoever you decide you like, appreciate, whatever, it was just a weird thing going on.
00:35:18.000That thing on the left, he showed me that.
00:35:20.000If you cut out the right foot's big toe, that right foot's big toe, if you showed me a photo of that and didn't show me the rest of his foot, I'd be like, that's like a snail or something.
00:35:31.000If you did that, people would say that was my foot.
00:37:17.000It's so funny you said discipline, because I was having coffee with Dave today, and then he said that about you, because I was talking about, I can't drink no shit with my antibiotics when I got shot and everything.
00:37:27.000In some kind of way, we talked about you, and that's what he said.
00:37:31.000He said, I fucking love and respect his discipline.
00:37:34.000I do have some of that, but I'm lazy too, man.
00:37:37.000I force myself into all the stuff that I do.
00:37:39.000Yeah, but you get challenged by something, though.
00:42:49.000I think it's a multifaceted problem, and I think we're only handling one aspect of it, which is keep people from working, keep people home, keep people away from people.
00:43:34.000That's, and the point I was making is like, you can suppress people, you can call them down for a certain period of time, but after a while, you're going to have to figure something out.
00:43:45.000My point I was going to make is, they're only looking at one side of it.
00:43:48.000They're not looking at telling people how to be healthy.
00:49:31.000Because in radio, it was the opposite.
00:49:33.000When they had radio, they'd attack each other.
00:49:35.000Like, I remember Opie and Anthony was always at war with Howard Stern, and Jay Leno was always at war with all the other late-night talk show hosts.
00:49:42.000But did you think that that made people engaged?
00:51:34.000That idea of being the man to me is ridiculous.
00:51:36.000That's your idea, but on the outside of it, when you do stuff like that, for some people and their perception of you, that's what makes you the man.
00:51:43.000That's what makes you, if you're able to inspire and motivate, that's what makes you the man that you say you're not.
00:51:48.000Well, I'm happy if that's the case that people think that way, but I'm in a position to be generous, so I'm generous.
00:53:57.000Like I said, Joe, everybody wants to be you right now, but nobody wants to be you when people are saying no and equipment was breaking down and we didn't know we was going to do it.
00:54:07.000The thing is, I didn't think about it that way.
00:54:10.000I didn't think, like, I know this is going to blow up.
00:58:08.000Or just feel like we just can't do this anymore.
00:58:10.000The people that voted for Biden hate Trump.
00:58:13.000But they're not excited about him the way they're excited about Obama or excited about Clinton or excited about a million other presidents in the past.
00:58:21.000Yeah, but for the most part, every time it switches over, it's because somebody goes totally opposite of what was going on.
01:00:47.000What I did believe in was when she got elected to be the first female vice president, first black president.
01:00:56.000Within a couple of days, the commercials I've seen on different urban platforms, or just period, It's been, you see a little black girl, right?
01:01:37.000This is the thing that we have to realize when it comes to district attorneys and just attorneys and prosecutors and defense attorneys in general.
01:03:45.000I read an article about all the different things she did, including the different things that she did that a lot of people thought were bad, like threatening moms that they would go to jail if their son was truant.
01:03:57.000But it turns out no one ever went to jail.
01:03:59.000It was a threat, and obviously it's terrifying to be a single mom and think you might get put in jail because your son is just running around and doesn't show up at school because you've worked two jobs trying to put food on the table.
01:04:08.000But nobody ever actually did get arrested and went to jail.
01:04:12.000Yeah, because it's going to be too hard to prove that shit, man.
01:04:14.000And in some cases, some people are too lazy in certain situations, too.
01:04:20.000Well, I'm saying it's not a good idea to threaten a mother because she's a single mom trying to get by and her son is not going to school.
01:04:28.000It's not good to threaten her with jail time.
01:06:18.000He was in the CIA and he came on the podcast recently.
01:06:22.000He was telling me that even if they did overturn it, even if they did rather like find corruption, the amount of votes you're talking about in most of these states, it's not enough.
01:06:41.000I think they uncovered two different things today in, I want to say it's Michigan, where they found a memory card that had more votes for Trump than Biden, but it was close.
01:06:57.000It was like 1,000 for Biden and 1,000, a few hundred for Trump, like 400 or 500 for Trump.
01:07:03.000Where did he get the memory card from, son?
01:10:05.000Like, say if they have all that medication and all that blood antibody medication and all this different stuff, they're going to give him the steroids.
01:10:13.000To make that for 300 million people, that's so many people.
01:10:17.000So if everybody gets sick, you have a dose.
01:10:20.000We have one dose for every human being in this country.
01:10:24.000Even if you have one dose for half the people.
01:10:25.000You could get it done if your money is right.
01:11:12.000I think there's a lot of people that are not going to take it, but I think what they think is herd immunity.
01:11:16.000Once we get to 50% of the people that took it, the virus will probably die off.
01:11:21.000I think it's going to be in that neighborhood of 50% of the people that had it.
01:11:25.000If either 50% of the people either have had COVID or have the vaccine for COVID, they think we're going to hit herd immunity and mostly die off.
01:11:33.000But it could always kick back in again.
01:11:34.000That's what they're worried about, that it's going to be like the common cold or the flu every year.
01:11:41.000If it's been proven that it works, and I talk to doctors and they explain what the science is and how it works, and then I talk to people that have taken it and they say, you know, what the side effects are.
01:11:49.000Because with the COVID vaccine, I think the side effects are you feel like shit for a couple days.
01:11:54.000Who can't deal with feeling like shit for a couple days?
01:11:56.000How happy are you when you can't lose two days?
01:12:00.000Yeah, I would definitely do it if I thought it was safe.
01:12:03.000I don't know enough about it right now to say that I think, I mean, that was one of the things that Nicholas Christakis was talking about yesterday.
01:12:09.000He was talking about the potential dangers for the vaccine.
01:12:13.000And I appreciate that he brought that up because it's such a sensitive area for people.
01:12:16.000They think that if you think there's a danger in any kind of vaccine, you're some sort of anti-vaxxer.
01:12:20.000No, there's a potential for danger of any medication when you're dealing with mass numbers of human beings.
01:12:27.000If you have 300 million people and you give them aspirin, I don't know what percentage, but some people are going to die from aspirin, or they're going to get really sick from aspirin.
01:13:06.000Not all of them, of course, but there's a lot of cancer.
01:13:09.000You're way better off having cancer now with modern medicine than you were having it 15-20 years ago.
01:13:14.000That said, all that remedy shit, the best remedy for all this, besides the medicine if you actually get sick, is to fucking take care of yourself.
01:13:24.000That's what I'm hoping people get out of this.
01:14:54.000Man, that motherfucker, I'm telling you about when I did Yellow Springs this summer, that was probably one of the things that made that experience so amazing is that we were living in our own bubble and playing by our own rules and everybody was having a good time and it was all productive.
01:15:28.000We would have potlucks and shit, and then I would have all the housewives of Yellow Springs ascend.
01:15:34.000Yo, dumb motherfuckers out there, dumb motherfucking Yellow Springs chicks, wives, they won't get upset with anything but a casserole dish, son.
01:15:43.000Like, they was looking for a Rachel Ray Casual disc I had for like a week.
01:15:48.000They were stalking where I was living and everything.
01:15:51.000But the sense of community, man, it's like, in that area, it's one coffee shop, Dinos, everybody go there.
01:26:39.000Yeah, like, if you're a guy who's really into soy, and this is not my perspective, this is just, I just think it's a fucking, it's a plant.
01:28:52.000A lot of those supplements, they mimic the same sort of effect, just not to the same degree as finasteride, like Viagra and Cialis and shit like that.
01:29:04.000But they don't make you have more testosterone.
01:29:07.000With these, like soybeans, and I think really for it to affect your hormones, I think it's just like it can, it's a possibility chemically, but in order to actually do it, I think you'd have to eat some fucking preposterous number of soybeans.
01:29:21.000I don't think it's something people really have to worry about.
01:29:24.000No, I don't think it's anything anybody really has to worry about.
01:34:32.000The way you're thinking and the way Dave has thought throughout this summer is like, yo, we really can make this shit.
01:34:41.000Also, what we were saying before, that we were all connected to Hollywood because we thought we needed Hollywood in order to get us on television or to pay our bills.
01:35:29.000Every one of the guys that I've done, you know, from Delia, from Bobby, from the whole crew, it's never no, oh man, it's like, let's do it.
01:36:23.000Not only that, but if you go on a podcast and they like you, if you go on a podcast and they like you, and then I hear now you're going to go on Bobby's podcast, I'm going to watch you on that podcast too.
01:36:33.000Because it's not like I do one podcast and now I'm out of time.
01:37:59.000Yeah, but if, yo, you, like, everything you said, it was like, once I got under the mold, like, I'm like, ah, This has to be the greatest episode.
01:43:20.000Do SNL? But you know there's some people that have done talk shows and then tried to do a stand-up special and they don't really have the chops for it.
01:43:30.000But that didn't seem like that with him.
01:45:07.000People have some legitimate gripes and I understand where they're coming from, but my perspective is it's not changing anything and it's not doing you any good.
01:46:13.000Man, if you've got some real claims, and I don't know what the claims are, I haven't really honestly investigated them, but if you've got some real claims, you gotta present the evidence, and then, once you present the evidence, you say all the stuff like, I got robbed, I really want it.
01:46:28.000If you want to be in a position where you're respected, If you're the president of the United States, this isn't a regular guy.
01:46:35.000It's not like if you were involved in some ridiculous, like, small neighborhood election and you were joking around on Twitter, I won that fucking election!
01:47:56.000We gotta assume that when there's people counting stuff, there's some fuckery going on.
01:48:00.000Yeah, but the fuckery that's been reported, it's been like still no more than like 40 people, bro.
01:48:04.000And then the only other problem is that it's all done through these machines, right?
01:48:09.000And then there's been all these conspiracy theories about machines that were supposed to have been giving the votes to Trump, gave those votes to Biden.
01:48:20.000Now, I could repeat those things, but I don't know if they're true.
01:49:00.000You kind of have to have someone watching it.
01:49:02.000That's part of the argument that Trump's administration was saying too, was that there were certain counts that they weren't allowed to observe.
01:49:09.000They had to be really far away and they couldn't actually see.
01:49:13.000That sounds like people that like soybeans, son.
01:49:47.000There's no evidence that they can present that's going to show people right now that there was so much voter fraud that they got to return everything and start all over or they got to give it to Trump.
01:51:00.000Saying anything about the vote, everybody wants to know exactly what happened.
01:51:04.000I think there's very few people that know exactly what happened.
01:51:08.000I know the machines and all that type of shit, but when they take the machines away and they say, okay, we're counting these hand by hand, the results of that have to be official.
01:51:18.000Yeah, well, they definitely should be.
01:51:19.000I understand the machines, but they was like, these mail-in motherfuckers, they had to fucking count every vote.
01:51:27.000Yeah, it's a matter of how they're recording it, right?
01:51:29.000You would want to make sure that everybody recorded it accurately.
01:51:33.000But I would imagine that when I was talking to a guy like Mike Baker, and he was saying that even if there was fraud, there's not enough fraud to overturn it.
01:51:47.000So, me talking about he won, we all do that.
01:51:49.000You know, we talk about he won, she won, and there's no way there was fraud, or it was definitely fraud, or I think Trump won by a landslide.
01:51:55.000Like, people get, they get real connected, they get real connected to who's winning or losing this election, and I get it.
01:52:03.000Man, I'm gonna miss Donald Trump, son.
01:55:36.000I hope they prove, like, the polarization of people that are opposed to Trump being in office, and now they're not Republicans and Democrats.
01:56:49.000Oh, I can't see the end because of the white shirt.
01:56:51.000According to this biographer, that is a rumor that started in the 60s and 70s when they're trying to figure out who killed JFK and maybe it was the mafia because they were in that business.
01:57:01.000That sounds like the Kennedy family is trying to cover up their dirty tracks.
01:57:57.000They probably were angry that the bars were closed, too.
01:58:00.000And then they wanted a couple bottles.
01:58:01.000Give me a couple bottles, a couple hundred dollars, so you can do whatever you want to do.
01:58:04.000Can you imagine if that's how we live right now, if booze was illegal?
01:58:09.000Imagine as much as people drink, if you had to do it all secret, you had to like have a big dude by the door, you had to have a password to get in, you're always worried about getting raided by the cops, just so you could have a drink.
02:00:46.000I believe that we're always going to find solutions to stuff.
02:00:49.000Like the first thing, like you mentioned about people that need to work or whatever, the first thing that's going to happen is there's going to be some type of stimulus package approved.
02:00:58.000Motherfuckers are going to feel somewhat security or a little better if they have some money to be able to do something.
02:01:04.000But this is just something that we're going to get past.
02:04:03.000Supposed to be United States of America.
02:04:04.000If we differ on small things like immigration or things like financial issues or how to use taxes and The most important thing is that we all want what's best for the country.
02:04:29.000That's what drove me the most crazy about Trump being president.
02:04:31.000I felt like it was the first time I could ever remember where people wanted things to be bad so that he would be a bad president.
02:04:39.000I mean, I guess they probably did with Obama, too.
02:04:42.000They wanted things to go bad so they could blame it on him.
02:04:45.000They would rather have something to blame on him than to have everything go well.
02:04:51.000If you asked a hardcore Trump hater, would you rather, this would be a good question, would you rather the economy become the greatest economy the world has ever known?
02:05:02.000And Trump, even though he's a pussy grabber and he's full of shit and he brags about himself, Became literally the best person to make the decisions that were the best for the country.
02:05:14.000Or, would you rather the economy fall to the toilet and Trump goes to jail?
02:05:58.000I don't think people were just looking for reasons to hate on him.
02:06:00.000And I know some people that liked him...
02:06:05.000Some people love to know nonsense, fuck it.
02:06:08.000People love a guy who came along and said fuck you to politically correct shit too.
02:06:13.000There's a lot that people liked about him.
02:06:15.000People like the idea that he got fucked over in this election too.
02:06:18.000They like the idea that the deep state was involved and that people were rigging voting machines and miscounting votes and people love those stories.
02:06:27.000I do not know if those stories are true.
02:06:29.000I don't give a fuck about those stories.
02:06:55.000But he's got to do it, especially if he wants to run again.
02:06:58.000See, if Trump wants to do it again, he can run one more time in 2024. But the only way he's going to be able to do that, he's got to be able to sit down and shake Biden's hand and say, I'll see you in four years, bitch.
02:07:10.000You can't just keep saying that the voting is 100% rigged and I won this election by a lot and all that's fucking dangerous because it's just dangerous for our confidence.
02:08:20.000By the spring or the summer, things are going to be in a totally different place in regard to how people feel about Being in public, again, they're going to have this, they're going to come up with some super rapid testing situation.
02:12:15.000It's funny, but you would assume that if someone's a lesbian, that's what I was kind of getting at, that you would instantly know who they're voting for, right?
02:12:23.000I mean, I know that's kind of profiling, but I was definitely like short haircut, you know, short haircut, fucking man cut out suit with the tie.
02:12:30.000Right, like how many girls with blue hair or pink hair voted for Trump?
02:13:27.000I think that's one good thing about people that can escape from LA. There's a lot of people that are escaping from New York as well, and they're moving to the suburbs, and they're liking it better.
02:14:12.000I've seen dudes in cubicles doing this shit, whether the cubicle's here, and they're both on the outside, they're just having a conversation.
02:14:27.000Scooting back from the cubicle, that's hilarious.
02:14:29.000There's a lot of dudes that are working all over the place that would be more productive if they just had a certain amount of work to do and they could just get it done at home.
02:15:19.000A lot of people are going to be able to stay home.
02:15:22.000And so I think that's just going to change the nature of cities in general.
02:15:25.000Less people are going to have to commute to them.
02:15:28.000But that's one probably good thing about this, is that people are gonna not have to commute as much, so maybe the roads won't be as jammed up.
02:15:39.000That saves people so much fucking stress.
02:15:43.000If you're a dude who works in Orange County and you live in LA and you gotta make that drive every morning, you ever see that fucking drive?
02:15:52.000I've been going the other way of that drive.
02:15:54.000When you go Orange County to LA at 7am, you wanna just fucking end it.
02:16:00.000You're just like, I can't do this every day.
02:16:02.000But you can do it for a minute because that's the route that I, because I, my accountant is out in Orange County, and I did that trip a couple times, and I kind of enjoyed being up in the morning with it.
02:16:13.000Because I don't have to do, I didn't have to do it a long time.
02:16:14.000Because you don't have to do it every day.
02:16:16.000If you had a job, and you had to be at your job at 8.30 in the morning every day, and you live in Orange County, and you got to go to LA, you got to leave your house before 7.00.
02:16:23.000You're going to accept the fact that every morning there's a likelihood, a high likelihood, it's going to take you an hour and a half plus.
02:16:32.000Yeah, and you can wake up, instead of waking up at 6, you can wake up at 8. You wake up at 8, have a cup of coffee, sit down, turn on your fucking computer.
02:21:43.000But I don't know what's going to happen after Biden gets into office, whether there's going to be another lockdown, like a national lockdown for a while.
02:21:49.000So I'll wait until after that blows over.
02:27:21.000The real problem is when you get dogs that need a lot of training, like if you want to have a German Shepherd or a working dog, like a Belgian Malinois, a lot of people get those dogs, you don't realize, like, you basically got, like, a little genius with teeth that lives with you that wants to figure out problems.
02:27:36.000You know those like, have you heard of those celebrity, like the German Shepherds, the guard dogs, the real ones that know 200 commands.
02:33:10.000Just watching my mother cook, just watching cooking shows.
02:33:14.000But I do remember when I was younger, my mother was a part of Publishers' Clan House, and I think they had one promotion where you get a Betty Crocker's recipe book, and it had all these recipe cards.
02:33:26.000And they sent it to you, and it's like meats, and then you see all these recipes.
02:33:30.000And I used to look at the recipe, and I was like, man, we ain't got shit to make none of this with.
02:33:36.000We had the recipe, but we didn't have the ingredients.
02:33:39.000So I just started reading those recipe cards.
02:33:42.000When I got older, I was like, I should start just fucking with this shit I couldn't cook.
02:33:45.000And then I just started fucking around and just started having fun with cooking.
02:33:48.000Do you go off recipes now or do you have it in your head?
02:36:54.000It's a different flavor, but I think what people associate with not tasting good, I think a lot of that, a lot of it, not all of it, but a lot of it isn't just personal taste, it's bad preparation.
02:37:06.000You get a steak from a grocery store, you're assuming that professional butchers, like people that grow the cows, professional butchers, all down the line, they get you a steak.
02:37:16.000If you got a guy's deer meat, who knows how this guy took care of that fucking deer.
02:37:20.000You know, he could have had that shit hanging in a tree.
02:37:23.000You don't see no marbleization in there, bitch, nowhere.
02:47:21.000But I would mimic the action of whoever taught me the word.
02:47:26.000If I learned the word from an Argentinian, I'd say it like an Argentinian says it.
02:47:29.000If I... That's why when I do Korean or whatever, when I do it, even when I do it in my act, when it's broken Korean, people know that's an odyssey.
02:47:36.000He got the tone of an older person, a respected person.
02:48:53.000Well, because they started, they recognized that there was an issue with the superior and dealing with a superior, like if you were my captain and I was your, I couldn't say certain things to you.
02:49:05.000I can't simply say, you're doing it the wrong way.
02:49:09.000You can't say it, but in English you can.
02:49:11.000So they taught them to communicate in English because it changes the way, or they only use English, because it changes the way you communicate with people.
02:49:19.000You don't have that cultural classification of a superior, of an older person who demands respect.
02:49:27.000I get it, and that's the one thing people don't understand about, especially Korean culture, is the level of respect that they have.
02:49:34.000People think it's like, oh, you don't fuck with me because I'm black.
02:49:37.000No, the level of respect they have, they give a fuck about being older.
02:50:13.000I had a good friend of mine who was a doctor.
02:50:16.000He was going through his residency while he was on the national taekwondo team.
02:50:23.000And the dude would literally be in school and he would take breaks to put his backpack on.
02:50:28.000He'd fill the backpack up with books and run up staircases and go all the way back down and then go back to going to the library to finish his work.
02:50:37.000And then he would find a way to go to the gym every night and he won the national championship.
02:50:56.000I haven't talked to him in a long time.
02:50:58.000He was a guy that was probably the star student of our team when I was competing, because he was this guy that was not just a national champion, but also a guy who did it while he was in his fucking medical residency.
02:51:16.000The amount of work that he was capable of doing was insane.
02:51:19.000And he was like, the way Koreans are, the way he would describe it to me, he's like, nothing's ever enough.
02:51:24.000No matter what I do, it's never perfect.
02:51:38.000It's like when somebody was outranked or whatever, they used to do this thing called education, where they could just talk to a little Korean motherfucker any kind of way they want.
02:52:01.000They used to, like, it wasn't no rules like, if you do this, they would fucking beat them motherfuckers up or whatever, and they came back, no, no, no, no, no, no.
02:52:09.000But there's one thing I like that you described.
02:52:25.000Well, we've forgotten that it's important to have people that are older than you that figure life out a little bit better than you have to help lead the way.
02:52:33.000When you guys were running for president, the way they kept going in on Joe Biden for being old, you know, whatever.
02:56:02.000So these vampires just fuck this town up for 30 days because they know when.
02:56:07.000So they bring this vampire familiar that pulls the boat into the Anchorage shore, whatever the fuck they landed, and they get out in this small town and just wreak havoc on this town for 30 days.
02:56:18.000Robin Williams and Al Pacino did a movie the opposite of that.
03:02:37.000I think people needed to really understand that in our lifetime, something can kill the world's economy and kill hundreds of thousands of people here and a million people worldwide.
03:03:01.000Even if they told you, even if you watched Bill Gates' speech at TED Talk in 2015, you would never internalize it and think there's a pandemic coming.
03:04:52.000And so everybody has to figure out how much of that they're willing to accept and how much of that are they not and whether or not they're willing to take a shot.
03:05:01.000Take this vaccine without knowing the long-term effects of it or worrying about the long-term effects of it.
03:05:08.000And some people are naturally averse to taking any kind of medication.
03:08:18.000But the day before, wouldn't have even been concerned about it.
03:08:24.000Went into the green room for 40 minutes and talked to people who'd been glued to the television and watching the news, and then they scared the shit out of me.
03:10:54.000What's the country that is a country...
03:10:59.000Maybe somewhere in the South Pacific or something, that measures their success as a nation with what they call their gross national happiness.
03:11:52.000I'm not a communist or none of that shit, but I think that I know too many people who are very wealthy Who had what I consider a poor quality of life.
03:12:02.000Just because, like you say, the wealth is the point.
03:12:22.000Now you're doing the same thing you were doing in L.A. in a totally different city just because you're following that knowing feeling, I gotta be free.
03:12:30.000There's a little bit of that and then there's also like I think you're better off living in a place with less people.
03:12:35.000I think when you live to be you live in a place with like LA it's great in that there's a lot of resources there's a lot of shit happening there's a lot of people but it's bad in that Sometimes people, it diminishes the value of people a little bit when there's so many of them.
03:12:52.000Like people stop thinking about people being as valuable.
03:12:55.000In LA, I don't even think that it's that.
03:12:56.000For me, the thing that I always had a hard time with was the point of the place was show business.
03:13:38.000It's the best way to have perspective.
03:13:39.000If you're stuck in that showbiz world, that becomes your culture.
03:13:44.000Your culture is like this tiny fraction of the human beings in the world and so many people just start relating only to people in that culture.
03:13:52.000Like that, you can get real isolated that way.
03:13:56.000Yeah, and for what we do for a living, I was that conducive to anything that we want to achieve.
03:18:33.000The drone was supposed to be at the bed and breakfast.
03:18:37.000How well can you control those things?
03:18:39.000Like, the people that know how to drive it, they can control it where they can't see it through, like, measurements and distance and everything.
