In this episode, the boys talk about the new glasses that Adam Carolla is wearing, and the weird things that happen when you wear them. Also, we talk about what it's like to be a nerd in high school, and what it means to be smart in glasses. We also talk about why glasses are sexy, and why you should wear them if you like girls wearing them. We finish up the episode with a quiz from our listeners, and of course, we answer your questions!

00:01:19.000The only thing I can think of is, he said it was something as a child.
00:01:23.000There was a pillow fight I had with my friend Keith in like third grade, and I remember him hitting me in an open eye and just being down for a while.
00:06:39.000Well, Samoans, they were able to hold canoes over their head and then pick up coconuts with their toes as they walked and bite it like an apple.
00:08:26.000You would call someone retarded or gay?
00:08:28.000I mean, all that stuff is, you know, it's a lot of word speak conversation, but it's manifested itself into the way these kids were raised and they're sweeter and kinder.
00:08:55.000There was a book, I think it was called McGurdy.
00:08:58.000It was by a guy named Bob Burns, who's a famous billiards historian.
00:09:04.000And he wrote this book about a pool hustler during the Depression that traveled literally by train car like a hobo from town to town and found people to gamble with these bars and they would hustle and pretend they didn't play very well and lose a little bit of money and then win money.
00:09:25.000People were suffering, and there was this one story where he was literally knocking on this guy's house, begging for food.
00:09:32.000And the guy brought him out some sausage.
00:09:35.000And they had a soup together, and he was just describing the food that this guy had given him, and how wonderful it was, and how amazing it was in that moment.
00:10:48.000And when the stock market crashes, all these people lose their jobs, and mortgage rates get fucked, and everybody's fucked, and there's just this terrible period of fear.
00:11:13.000And it's the system that we've built to survive and be able to trade goods and food and homes and the structure we built to live and be safe from the outside elements on this planet, right?
00:11:29.000But that thing has to run and it runs by money and money circulates all that stuff all around all the time.
00:11:36.000There's still money when all that stuff happens, but it's up here clogged with very select places, and then the rest, the flow, just stopped.
00:11:46.000There's no more water coming to these tributaries anymore, and everybody goes tanking.
00:12:08.000All in all, if you could choose between a good operating system for life, a much better, more updated operating system for civilization, or whether or not you could get online.
00:12:19.000You got online in 95, your shit would work.
00:12:47.000Right now, like, everything was really crashing in 2008. I mean, that scenario that you're talking about where everything just stopped, like, all the top people were like, the economy is grinding to a halt this afternoon.
00:16:26.000Fouls whether or not like you're playing pool and maybe your tip touched the ball before it was supposed to and then you try to ignore it and then someone calls you on or the hit is bad like you don't hit the number ball you're supposed to if you're playing nine ball the other guy's supposed to get ball in hand.
00:16:42.000If it's a competitive thing like a tournament those conversations get pretty emotional.
00:16:47.000People get really upset like I definitely did not foul.
00:16:49.000But all of a sudden he was like trying to start a fight.
00:19:56.000It seems like if you wanted to give your reason, you, Tom Papa, wanted to give your reasons why we shouldn't be engaging in some sort of a military action against North Korea or whatever's next, you'd have to do it.
00:20:08.000You'd have to write it out or you'd have to record it, right?
00:20:11.000You'd have to give a coherent reason why you feel that that would be considered.
00:20:18.000Imagine if there's 350 million of us or whatever the hell it is right now.
00:20:23.000Everyone having a single opinion, a nuanced, complex, comprehensive opinion on any sort of an action that anything in the government is doing that represents us.
00:20:35.000I mean, there's these people, it's boiled down to a few people that are supposed to successfully represent us and all of our ideas, but there's no way they could know what our ideas are.
00:21:06.000I mean, to be that president, to be one guy...
00:21:10.000It really is a thing about, you know, there is one guy on the top of Virgin or Tesla, but it's their job to run things and have people doing stuff for them.
00:21:24.000It's almost a job that's more about...
00:26:39.000If Neil deGrasse Tyson was my astronomy teacher in high school or taught astrophysics or whatever and taught it the way he teaches things, when he talks about stuff, he gets you so excited about the ideas that he's talking about.
00:27:03.000It's almost like it's engineered to be that way, and I don't want to get all fucking crazy Tower 7 on anybody, but if you look at the idea of school itself, why the fuck are they paying those teachers so little?
00:27:16.000I mean teachers, they have arguably the most important job in developing your child outside of you.
00:27:53.000He's worried about getting kicked out of his apartment and whether he's got lung cancer from chain smoking.
00:27:59.000If you did pay this guy, Twice what he was making, he'd be relaxed, he'd be motivated, he'd be into it, he could spend more time putting together his lesson plans.
00:28:52.000I think once people are in a community that's poor, there's no incentive for the wealthy people that are in government or running government to say, let's allocate an inordinate amount of resources to try to rebuild these areas.
00:29:42.000If everybody had to go to their local public school, I bet things would change.
00:29:46.000Well, it's worse because you're making things less safe because you're creating more crime, because you're creating more disenfranchised people, and you're creating more of a need to stay in your wealthy communities.
00:31:01.000Who has the most advanced emissions controls and it's working.
00:31:06.000They're going to force California to lessen the emissions restrictions the way that the rest of the country is and they're going to go back like 20 years.
00:33:44.000And you've just painted a ruthless image in their mind of some poor sobbing man by some fucking dude that looks like Ironhead is laying pipe to the lady.
00:36:39.000So the guy's lying there, and we have this woman come out, and she's got these big juicy tits, and he's sucking on them, and she's climbing on them, and everybody's going, ooh!
00:41:45.000If I'm talking to a scientist and he's like, well, it's really important that we get feces samples of these animals to make sure that we...
00:41:51.000You don't want your doctor saying, go shit in this cup.
00:42:37.000I believe his name is Stanton Friedman.
00:42:41.000And he was on one of those last time, but he's one of those guys where you see him on one of those shows, you go, oh, I know I'm watching a show about bullshit.
00:42:53.000He actually makes some real sense as far as what kind of physics would be required in order to make a craft that can travel between worlds.
00:44:34.000So, super recently, like within the last decade, they've got these satellite images of that area, and they found these pictures, like what Jamie just pulled up that last article.
00:45:06.000But, so, one of the, on the show, they were saying that they carbon-tested some of these mounds, and they were over 6,000 years old.
00:45:15.000So 6,000 years old, this is the speculation, this show might have been wrong, but what they were asserting, and it could totally be true, because it definitely was some culture 6,000 years ago they're just finding out about, but that 6,000 years ago, somehow or another, these people had created irrigation,
00:45:31.000they had created these pathways, they had made a grid, like a system.
00:48:38.000So this is the earliest unambiguous evidence for modern human behavior has been discovered in an international team of researchers in a South African cave.
00:49:12.000I think that's the oldest right now as far as like really complex because before then they weren't really convinced that people could do that kind of stuff back then.
00:49:19.000So that means in 30,000 years they figured out how to make that.
00:49:22.000There's got to be like some older structures that they just haven't found that are way down or under the sea.
00:56:11.000For MMA. We essentially took the boxing scoring system and adapted it to MMA. So it's a 10 point must system.
00:56:18.000And it's very difficult to get a round to be scored 10-8.
00:56:22.000And the problem with that is I don't think it leaves enough room for accurately judging all the events that take place in a five minute period of combat sports.
00:56:34.000Because there's so many different interactions.
00:56:36.000I think those interactions should probably be judged on their own merit.
00:56:43.000There should be a way to quantify how much damage was done, whether or not it was the right thing to do.
00:56:49.000And it should be probably a 100-point score system or something like that.
00:58:26.000Yeah, but I've been pretty consistent with my diet and pretty consistent with working out.
00:58:32.000I was going to bring some bread today because I was experimenting with something and tried to make something different, and it was kind of a fail.
00:59:33.000You just said, listen, I don't give a fuck what's good for me.
00:59:36.000We're going to throw some groovy poison down there, and I'm going to get the shortest, I mean, like a few minutes of good feeling that doesn't come close to a lot of stuff that's legal.
01:03:11.000But Ari had this great joke about, and it actually was a real thing that happened when he and I worked together.
01:03:17.000He had to go over this bridge, and it was a long-ass bridge in Sydney, Australia, and as he was halfway over the bridge, he had to shit himself.
01:03:24.000And it takes forever to get to the other side.
01:04:18.000Like, it's not just, but there's people that think, like, there's toilet humor, and there was a thing that, like, in the 1960s and the 70s, you know, someone like Lenny Bruce came along, oh, he's doing toilet humor.
01:05:35.000Somebody retweeted it, and I was like, why is this on my feed?
01:05:38.000It was some dude with his giant, hairy, fat, overweight ass hunched over this woman's face and just shitting in her mouth while people were pulling the shit out of his ass and rubbing it on her face.
01:05:51.000I was like, this is on Twitter, but Milo's not?
01:05:55.000You guys banned Milo Yiannopoulos and this is...
01:14:54.000There was an article, like, really recently, like, within the last couple of days on it, that I saw online, where they were saying, thank God the hell pig gets extinct, or something like that.
01:17:13.000Because if there really are hell pigs, and they really do become a problem, look, the only thing that's keeping wolf populations down is hunters, and when they don't have that, you know what they do in Alaska?
01:17:22.000They get in airplanes, they fly over them, they shoot them from the sky.
01:17:38.000In Siberia, a few years ago, they were having these super packs of wolves, because it was a particularly horrible winter, and they would have, like, a hundred wolves would get together so they could take out horses.
01:17:47.000So they would go into these barns, and then, you know, imagine you're hanging out in your house, and your barn is next door, and there's a hundred wolves tearing all the horses apart.
01:18:03.000Well, if you don't, they're going to get to the point where they were with the Russians in World War I. The Russians and the Germans in World War I, so many of them were killed by wolves that they had a ceasefire.
01:19:01.000Like a massive, massive football player, man.
01:19:04.000If you learn no jujitsu and you can get its back and you can sink the choke in, like a real proper rear naked choke, you might be able to kill it.
01:19:11.000But I would think you would put its sleeve and then stomp its head.
01:24:25.000The only thing they have a hard time going through is the really thick, big ones, like shoulder bones, scapula sometimes, like if your bow is not that powerful.
01:24:34.000But like ribs, all the time you get what's called a pass-through, whereas the arrow goes completely through the animal before it even knows what happened.
01:26:43.000As you're sitting there talking to that raccoon, and he's like pretending to come up on you, there's probably two raccoons flanked on either side, eyeballing you.
01:27:33.000I mean, it's such a weird relationship that we have with these things because if you raise them from the time they're pets, apparently they make these amazing pets.
01:28:02.000So our ideas about animals, like for a lot of people that really truly love animals, you're talking about these domesticated weirdo animals that aren't even animal-like in any way.
01:29:09.000The way it works, it's been explained to me by Steve Rinella and some other people, but the way it works is that we have all this land that's federal land, and you can go on it, you could hunt, you could fish, you could camp, you could go.
01:30:12.000There's a hotly contested bill that was in the house, HR 621, by this guy Jason Chavitz.
01:30:19.000And if you want to hear him talking to my friend Cameron Haynes on Cameron's most recent podcast, he flew to DC to talk to him.
01:30:29.000The guy withdrew H.R. 621, which is turning over 3 million acres of land to the state, which the state could then do with whatever they want.
01:30:38.000And the problem with that is it's a slippery slope and it eventually leads to privatization of a lot of those lands.
01:30:44.000And especially people are scared of that with Republicans in power, especially when you see that they've lessened the EPA and all the different things they're doing.
01:30:56.000He's got HR 622, which people are also opposed to because it would be about turning over the...
01:31:05.000Policing of those lands and the law enforcement, turning it over to the state and taking it out of federal hands, Bureau of Land Management and stuff like that, park rangers and stuff like that.
01:31:17.000They wanted to do to local sheriffs, and then they would allocate money specifically for that, but people think that's a slippery slope, too.
01:32:24.000And to think that you're going to sit there and there's going to be a backhoe digging something up to look for some oil that might be under sulfur...
01:32:32.000But you know that sound that you hear when those oil things are going, ting, [...
01:33:33.000Well, when you go by a factory, like a New Jersey factory, and you see those fucking plumes of smoke blowing up into the air, you're like, how are you allowed to do that?
01:34:10.000I remember these places you would go by where it just stunk.
01:34:14.000Here's the thing, my parents, and this is not just factories, it's also farms, this is like one of the biggest producers of methane pollution in the country is the cattle industry.
01:34:25.000And when I used to, my parents used to live in Pennsylvania, they used to live Where the fuck were they?
01:42:56.000Because if that was a buddy of yours, and you were sitting in his lap like that, and people walked in, they'd be like, hey, what the fuck's going on?
01:43:20.000You gotta throw her over your arm, like throw her over your shoulder, and then you have to climb some stuff and gently lay her down in the champagne.
01:55:22.000How about if I had the guy, he comes in here, he walks in this door, and that's how we set up the scene.
01:55:29.000He just was like, the reason why that show had become that monster hit that it was, he was a great comic who was obsessed with every fiber of his being, making this a really good show.
01:55:41.000That's not like a really, really, to this day, underrated show.
01:59:11.000There was one guy who was a doctor, and he had this woman, and he kept her body in his house, and he'd bring in crates and crates of perfume, and he would douse her decaying body with perfume.
01:59:23.000And he had fastened some sort of a hole near where her abdomen was when it rotted away.
01:59:29.000He put something there that he manufactured where he could stick his dick into it.
01:59:35.000So he could get on top and put a mask on her.
01:59:39.000And, you know, they were trying to figure out where the body had gone.
01:59:42.000This guy had taken the body and brought it to his house.
02:00:00.000Let me just keep covering her up with perfume and he would get rock hard and climb on top of her a rotting bag of bones and meat and stick his dick into her.
02:00:08.000She's just- he's probably had like a surgical mask on.
02:00:11.000She's like stinking of rotten meat and perfume.
02:00:14.000I would much rather watch Bob's Burgers.
02:02:08.000Yeah, they just go from this important comic of his time, New York, and then boom, boom, for the last 30. Just reading stale lines for 30 years.
02:02:20.000Like, how many years was he on that show?
02:04:07.000One time I was in Mexico, and I was at this resort, and they had these electric golf carts.
02:04:12.000You could take the carts out of the resort to go to the local town.
02:04:16.000And so we left the resort and went to the local town, and Maybe a block outside the resort, there's a full-on military compound.
02:04:28.000I mean, full-on, with dudes standing there, fully armed, in a jeep, an armored jeep, with a bulletproof face, like a tank face, where they duck down while they're driving so they don't get shot.
02:04:41.000And I'm watching this, and I'm like, what in the hell?
02:04:44.000And then I realized, oh, this is to protect the resort.
02:05:18.000Because the people from the town will just go, why do they have so much and we don't- They're so poor, and then you're bringing in all these people with a lot of money.
02:06:51.000Yeah, I get uncomfortable in those places.
02:06:53.000I always want to be like the cool photojournalist who kind of hangs out with the people and doesn't worry and just goes to their house and has a meal.
02:07:02.000But I'm totally on guard and nervous when I'm in places like that.
02:07:07.000Yeah, well, if you're in a real poor area and you're a bunch of wealthy white people that are fucking vacationing, it's weird because the area needs it because it provides, you know, like your revenue comes in and it helps them and it gives people that live there jobs.
02:13:45.000She came to one of my comedy shows and she brought these people that might as well have been screaming baboons trapped in a cage at the zoo while people threw water balloons at them.
02:14:34.000Well, I used to have these, like, one of those things I really like about these yellow legal pads is that these yellow legal pads, to me, they have, like, this different feel to them because that's what I would write all the directions.
02:14:47.000To any of the places that I would go to.
02:17:08.000Well, especially at that age, imagine being a girl in that situation where it's just like, these animals, one of these guys in this pack is going to be the one.
02:19:55.000It was one of those things where it's like people though do get, they tend to feel like they're allowed to get upset if you're talking about something that you don't have experience with.
02:20:29.000Well, there's always this thing, right, and this is a big thing in certain circles when it comes to disenfranchised people, or you hear when it comes to gender and sex, you hear it like, you know, you should, like, that's one of the wonderful things that male feminists love to say.
02:20:44.000They love to say, just shut up and listen to the women.
02:20:47.000You need to shut up and listen to the women.
02:20:50.000You should never shut up, because even if you're being respectful, if someone says something and you like them to clarify, or you're confused, or maybe you have some information that they might not be aware of, that might change their thought on things, like, being engaged in a conversation with someone is not necessarily a negative thing,
02:21:06.000but everyone is assuming that if you're not a girl, you shouldn't talk about girl issues.
02:21:19.000So what you're saying when you're asking people not to talk about it is you're saying it should be better if your whole part of the population stays ignorant of what's going on and we just stay where we are.
02:21:38.000And when certain things develop too much social clout, when subjects hit this critical mass of social clout, or when the whole Bruce Jenner thing was going on, when you had to say that she was beautiful, and you had to say that you accepted it, and you had to say it was amazing.
02:21:52.000Wasn't she just a fucking Kardashian just a little while ago?
02:21:54.000Isn't this a ridiculous, insane family?
02:21:56.000And wasn't this guy the dumbest one on the show?
02:24:29.000It's just like we got tired of people going so hard politically correct, but you see how there's progress in that, like when you're talking about the kids in school.
02:25:48.000Well, the thing is, those people that go too far with all that politically correct stuff, they're almost always emotionally unbalanced.
02:25:56.000So, given enough time, they will reveal themselves to be either crazy or power-hungry or, like, really, like, a big part of that whole social justice warrior movement is really about shaming people,
02:27:31.000And the people that are effective with it, one of the things that's happening is they outdo each other, they feed off of each other, they play to each other, they're playing to the room.
02:27:41.000And they ramp it up so they know that there's other people that agree with them, and they see how far they can take it, and the further you can take it, like, oh my god, Mike is so hardcore.
02:27:55.000It's like they push so hard on this social justice front that they're doing it for each other and impressing each other and impressing these communities of people that get together.
02:28:05.000And then somewhere along the line, they forget how cruel they're being to people who disagree with them.
02:28:24.000And not only that, you're going to feel personally the effects of all that stuff.
02:28:28.000Like when you're shitting on people and you ruin someone's life with some hate blog or something like that, and then that person attacks you.
02:29:04.000Well, we've all been in arguments before and we've all had that feeling after it's over, that gross feeling of the conflict feeling like, yeah, like, ugh, I hate this.
02:29:12.000Like, how did I get sucked into this again?
02:29:17.000And there's people that have that feeling and they're constantly trying to avoid those situations, but they still come up occasionally and then they feel even worse when they come up.
02:29:25.000Like, for me, conflict today feels so much worse than conflict felt like 10 or 15 or 20 years ago.
02:31:24.000I'd have a stupid way of looking at it, where instead of being philosophical about my own role in having this take place, and my own inability to manage the communication better.
02:31:55.000It's really essentially the same thing when you're communicating with people.
02:31:59.000If you're not good at communicating, you have these awkward moments, and you're as much responsible for someone else getting pit.
02:32:06.000Even if they did something wrong, Like, you're as much as responsible for it going bad as they are, in a way.
02:32:13.000It's a difficult thing because you can sometimes be very aware of it and very sensitive to people and try and make everything cool, and then somebody says something or does something, and there's something inside us that just flares.
02:33:04.000Do you have, because you know violence or you know fighting, you have been trained in it, you know it, you've lived aspect of it, Does it put you more on alert physically when you're out in the world?
02:33:44.000I definitely try to be aware when there's men and they're drinking.
02:33:48.000Whenever there's men and they're drinking, or if you're in a poor neighborhood, like we were talking about being outside of a resort in Mexico and you see the military and you realize why it's there.
02:33:57.000I just think that, for the most part, you're safe.
02:34:16.000I mean, if you're an attractive woman in particular, and you're walking around, you have a nice body, like, you're just a goddamn asshole target.
02:34:25.000When you put those yoga pants on, those Lululemons, those fuchsia yoga pants, and you've got that big juicy ass, and you're walking down the mall, you're going to get bombed on.
02:34:57.000But there's also like when people get upset and, you know, we're talking about things ramping up, like the momentum of them gets away from you and then you're saying things you haven't thought out yet.
02:35:08.000People make actions that they haven't thought out yet.
02:35:10.000And you're a reasonable guy, and I try to be pretty reasonable.
02:35:13.000And if I'm saying this, and I'm admitting that the emotions can get carried away, especially when there's danger involved, I can get to saying things that I should have probably never said, because it just got away from me.
02:35:23.000What about an idiot who's been abused as a child?
02:35:26.000What about an idiot who's been beaten and abused as a child?
02:35:28.000And it's almost like, feels like they're at such a deficit of love, and they are owed so much violence, that they're very capable of inflicting violence on random people.
02:35:41.000And that goes back to what we're talking about earlier, about real leaders.
02:35:44.000If we had real leaders in real direction in this country, we would fix the educational system in these bad neighborhoods and spend a ton of money to try to rejuvenate these neighborhoods or have some sort of a plan to eliminate crime, to reduce crime, rather, to make it so safer.
02:36:00.000And you've got to start with kids when they're really, really young.
02:36:03.000You can't wait until they're 16, 17 and go in and just throw some money at it and expect it to work.
02:36:08.000You've got to just dump tons of money into it.
02:36:10.000You know, the private sector is the thing that does that more than the government.
02:36:38.000It's such a nice thing to see all these people donating money, spending the night to support this school, that this woman's passion, just purely to help autistic kids Survive and find a way in the world.
02:36:59.000See, but Bill Gates is just trying to find programmers for Windows 30. He's only seen them now, and he's like, autistic kids, they're fucking wicked good at programming.
02:37:07.000They sit in front of a computer, little freaks, just give them coffee.
02:37:10.000He calls it a camp, but it's really the back of Microsoft.
02:38:39.000And then I thought, but what he's not taking into consideration is, but then what about the guy, then you walk a block, and there's another guy, and another guy.
02:38:51.000Or you then decide, no, I gave to that guy, and you're still in that space of, no, I'm a good person, but you still have to go through all that stuff in your head.
02:40:01.000You have to have a passion, otherwise you start thinking, oh, here I am, clinging to this ball as it hurls through infinity, and worrying about the news.
02:40:10.000Remember when your kids first show up, some of their first things, toys, Are like kitchen sets and workbenches.
02:40:18.000And they just gravitate to it and want to do a project.
02:40:21.000And they make together a fake breakfast and bring it over to you, waddle to you, and give it to you.
02:41:44.000I don't feel like I'm stagnant because I'm constantly in motion.
02:41:46.000It's all very positive, and I appreciate all the good things that are happening, and I appreciate all the people that enjoy the podcast and the comedy shows and all that stuff, but man, right now I feel like I need to wrap my brain around something fresh and novel and new.
02:43:32.000I'm going to make a gonzo journalism book where I'm going to have some aspects of my life and then it'll be like, remember when Chuck Woolery, not Chuck Woolery, Chuck Barris.
02:44:10.000Pull up an article because Edward Snowden was saying that it's not whether or not they can access, you know, whether they have access to your encrypted shit.
02:44:19.000It's like that they've hacked Android and iOS.
02:44:22.000Like, they can get into Android and iOS.
02:44:49.000That seems, that seems like we don't know what the fuck we're doing.
02:44:53.000PSA, this incorrectly implies the CIA hacked those apps, these apps, forward slash encryption, but the docs show iOS, forward slash Android are what got hacked, a much bigger problem.
02:45:04.000So still working through the publications, but what WikiLeaks has here is a genuinely, is genuinely a big deal, looks authentic.
02:45:13.000See, but I just, I feel like we have to be very careful if other people are doing things.
02:45:21.000So, like, if you talk to people in the intelligence community, and I don't talk to a lot of them, but I have talked to a few, what they will tell you is you have to understand that what the majority of the American public thinks is going on in the world and what their motives are and what kind of espionage and fucking dirty tricks take place.
02:46:57.000So doesn't that make you more frightened that they were interfering in our election?
02:47:02.000Well, they certainly were aware of what was going on, and they certainly had access to some documents about the DNC. What concerns me is people that are ignoring, although that is an issue for sure,
02:47:18.000But they're ignoring that what they did was...
02:47:21.000They let us know about some horrible shit that the Democrats were up to where they were rigging the primaries and fucking over Bernie Sanders because he was too powerful and too dangerous to Hillary Clinton.
02:47:34.000They conspired, rather, and they all used their influence to fuck over Bernie Sanders.
02:47:39.000And then saying that the Russians hacked the election because they exposed that the Democrats are a bunch of cheating creeps It's kind of disingenuous.
02:47:47.000Because yes, they did hack the election because they did release some of that information, so they did have an impact on it.
02:47:52.000But that impact was essentially the truth and something that we really deserve to know in the first place.
02:47:56.000We deserve to know the inner workings of the DNC. We deserve to know that they are getting in the way of democracy.
02:49:44.000You know, having Donald Trump win in this fashion and having the Russians interfere and then also having some sort of an influence on him financially, all those things are not good.
02:49:52.000But it's a little disingenuous to ignore the fact that Hillary was a terrible candidate.
02:49:58.000She was so compromised from so many different angles.
02:50:01.000I mean, she didn't support gay marriage until 2013, I think it was.
02:50:06.000Not only that, the Clinton Foundation is just a disaster.
02:50:12.000The whole thing is just filled with scary shit.
02:50:15.000Yeah, and look, she was definitely disliked by a lot of people from being there for a lot of time doing stuff that made a lot of people very nauseous.
02:50:27.000But I don't want to go back and redo the election, but just that...
02:50:32.000Just does it concern you that if, let's say, let's be conspiracy theories on this, let's say that the Russians have so much more influence over this president.
02:50:44.000He's, by the way, putting his America first, is using Russian steel for that pipeline that's going through the Indians.
02:50:50.000If he's that tied to them, And Russia's an enemy of ours.
02:51:35.000Well, isn't it possible that their government can evolve, and they can eventually not have that guy in place, that something could take place?
02:52:48.000They're trying to find the answers of what this stuff really is.
02:52:50.000Well, there's all sorts of shit that's not good.
02:52:52.000There's all sorts of shit that's not good about this whole situation.
02:52:56.000There's way too much power and influence by one person and that person's cabinet and that person's choices, like what choice they make on the rest of us.
02:53:11.000And it's more than we've ever seen before.
02:53:12.000We've never seen someone come in with a sweeping brush of change and just decide, nope, fuck Obamacare, nope, building that fucking wall, nope, we're running those pipes, nope, Dakota Pipeline, fuck you, we're coming through.
02:53:24.000Like, whoa, and it's happening within the first 60 days.
02:55:25.000Where he was talking about Exxon investing in the Gulf Coast and they're going to get all these jobs and there's going to be like 45,000 jobs and the jobs are going to be paying $100,000 on the average.
02:55:35.000So all these great jobs and he's very excited about announcing that.
02:57:50.000I was just in Mexico doing a gig and I kept asking people about...
02:57:57.000About Trump, they would, you know, they'd ask us about Trump or, you know, the whole Mexican thing.
02:58:02.000And a couple of them, especially the last guy, was like, yeah, I don't know, everybody, I don't know, he seems bad, but have you met our president?
02:58:43.000No, so I hit that Tesla, especially when I drive to school in the morning and drop the kids off.
02:58:49.000Don't you think now, I mean, I'm always trying to be this glasses half full guy.
02:58:54.000Don't you think that the reaction that people are having to all these new policies is going to invigorate our political system because it's going to inspire people to act and to do something and to make some positive change and that people are going to realize how important it is to get involved and what the consequences are to the environment,
02:59:11.000to the world, to the future if we let someone come in and just solely concentrate on profits, which is what you're...
02:59:19.000Assuming that they're going to do, and they're going to lean towards that, and they're going to lower the Environmental Protection Agency's regulations, and lower the standards for emissions, and more pollution in the fucking coal mine shit and all that.
02:59:31.000Because it's running it like a business.
02:59:33.000People are going to have to react to that.
02:59:36.000There's actually an editorial of the guy who was the head of the EPA during Reagan, and he was warning Pruitt, That Americans have a breaking point.
02:59:47.000They do not like it when they think that the environment and their health is in danger.
02:59:57.000And Reagan came in and he was going to do some big sweeping things that were going to be more profitable and give us more jobs.
03:00:04.000And the fierce fight back from the Americans I think it's entirely possible that you could deal with eco-terrorism as well, whereas someone could decide that this path is wrong and evil and that the best way to subvert it would be to do something,
03:00:27.000blow something up or something, you know, have some sort of a reaction where you damage the company or damage the public image or...
03:00:34.000I mean, all this is really tricky five-dimensional chess that these people are playing.
03:02:14.000Your people are like, I get more responses of people asking about how to make bread and sending me their recipes and stuff, and just really funny they've seen us perform together or whatever.
03:02:28.000Well, people really enjoy you too and the kind of perspective that you provided today where you're, you know, leaning towards just being nicer and being kinder and not getting involved in any bullshit and recognizing that that's what makes people happy.
03:02:41.000It's just to find a passion, follow it, enjoy yourself, live your life, be nice.
