In this episode I talk about the end of the world and how we have become nothing more than a bunch of well-dressed apes living in a rut, and how to get out of this rut.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 I should probably start off by telling you that I don't know which side of the glass
00:00:14.760 I'm on.
00:00:16.780 Am I watching them, or are they watching me?
00:00:23.400 All I know for certain is that this is the world we've chosen to live in.
00:00:28.340 God help us all.
00:00:30.000 I'm just really focused on my career right now.
00:00:36.780 So you're not looking for anything serious?
00:00:40.960 That's not me.
00:00:42.320 It doesn't matter.
00:00:43.720 It's close enough.
00:00:45.800 We're a generation that never learned how to love.
00:00:48.940 And our economy is based upon debt.
00:00:51.580 It always ends up in the same place.
00:00:53.280 I'm out there in a dozen different places.
00:00:55.660 Nobody's calling you back.
00:00:56.840 And why is that?
00:00:58.060 I don't know.
00:00:58.500 I can't even get an interview.
00:00:59.280 Because you're not trying.
00:01:01.500 I'm not trying.
00:01:02.200 I'm trying everything.
00:01:03.300 I don't know what else to do.
00:01:05.760 Maybe I should give Terry a call.
00:01:07.920 See if you can get me a job out in the oil fields.
00:01:10.100 We already talked about this.
00:01:11.400 You were abandoning me.
00:01:12.640 I might as well be divorced if you do that.
00:01:15.280 Well, we don't want that.
00:01:16.980 Maybe I do.
00:01:17.620 So here we are at the end of history.
00:01:22.780 The end of money.
00:01:25.340 The end of hope.
00:01:27.280 The end of purpose.
00:01:28.440 The end of man and the end of woman.
00:01:35.120 Nothing to do then, but light a smoke and watch the fireworks go down.
00:01:41.260 Enjoy the final decadent days of our once proud and mighty empire.
00:01:46.240 Watch the leaves turn golden.
00:01:47.680 And watch as they begin to fall.
00:01:50.340 Trying to embarrass me.
00:01:50.920 No, no, that's not what I wanted.
00:01:52.400 I didn't realize.
00:01:53.360 Look, look.
00:01:54.040 You know what's going to happen if we show up late?
00:01:56.900 Okay, I don't have time for this.
00:01:58.420 Come on.
00:01:58.780 Come on.
00:01:59.140 If you don't know how to love, all you understand is hate.
00:02:04.000 Abuser.
00:02:05.060 Abused.
00:02:06.200 Two sides of the same coin.
00:02:09.140 So don't go asking for a better world than this, because this is the world we chose.
00:02:15.060 This is the world we deserve.
00:02:19.920 Oh, good evening, ladies.
00:02:22.240 Aren't we all dressed up?
00:02:23.900 That's how we get her done in the country.
00:02:25.240 Oh, so what you're saying is you know how to get things done?
00:02:29.680 Oh, yeah.
00:02:30.280 I know how to get things done.
00:02:31.760 In fact, that's my catchphrase.
00:02:33.520 Get her done.
00:02:35.760 So, do you know the city bell?
00:02:38.060 A victim for every victimizer, and a victimizer for every victim.
00:02:44.020 Bubba.
00:02:44.900 Your new name is Bubba.
00:02:46.260 Well, I didn't stop Bubba.
00:02:47.600 No, it is.
00:02:48.100 It's Bubba now.
00:02:49.260 Can we go now?
00:02:50.240 Why?
00:02:51.240 I like him.
00:02:52.560 He's such a nice guy.
00:02:55.240 Yeah, I mean, you'll buy us ladies some drinks, won't you Bubba?
00:02:58.300 Sure, why not?
00:02:59.580 You call me.
00:03:01.860 Hedonism always turns out the same.
00:03:04.620 Without love, all you've got is sex.
00:03:08.200 And if all you've got is sex, you've got to keep upping the ante or else it gets bored.
00:03:14.320 And when you run out of new things to try, it always ends up in the same place.
00:03:19.340 Do you have the right music and the right audience?
00:03:20.960 Hey, sweetie, there you are.
00:03:22.540 What are you doing with this twerp, huh?
00:03:23.880 What are you calling twerp, buddy?
00:03:25.020 You.
00:03:25.480 Oh, man, that's nice.
00:03:28.900 You play the skin flute.
00:03:29.780 No.
00:03:30.220 Is that the kind of band you're looking to get into?
00:03:32.700 No, man.
00:03:33.240 You've got to get the hell out of here.
00:03:34.320 Just get out of here.
00:03:35.280 Yeah?
00:03:36.500 What do you think you are, man?
00:03:37.380 What are you?
00:03:37.820 Talking to my woman like that.
00:03:39.300 Huh?
00:03:39.720 Talking to my woman like that?
00:03:40.380 Sexual sadism.
00:03:41.640 Get out of here.
00:03:42.260 We've become nothing but a bunch of well-dressed apes.
00:03:49.220 We don't know how to get out of this rut.
00:03:52.260 And here's the tragic thing.
00:03:54.440 If you can't help yourself, nobody else can help you either.
00:03:59.080 I have one.
00:03:59.800 Yeah, cheapskate.
00:04:02.960 Got some square change?
00:04:04.660 What?
00:04:04.940 The thing I hate most about seeing the powerful abuse the weak
00:04:15.000 is knowing that the weak did something to deserve it.
00:04:21.600 Worthless scum.
00:04:25.240 This is the end state of our materialist faith.
00:04:28.140 Capitalism turned innovators into land rapers.
00:04:32.400 And socialism turned charity into oppression.
00:04:40.680 But whichever side of the looking glass you're on,
00:04:43.720 whether you're out there with the beasts and monsters,
00:04:47.240 or you're just watching them through the glass,
00:04:50.160 don't for one moment think you're better than they are.
00:04:53.780 Because when you do,
00:04:55.180 that's when your own sins catch up with you.
00:05:04.720 With love and hope gone,
00:05:06.620 you sublimate your desires.
00:05:09.520 They always turn into the same thing, though.
00:05:13.460 Rap.
00:05:16.600 And violence.
00:05:23.340 You can try and run.
00:05:25.180 Sometimes that even works for a little while.
00:05:34.720 But you can never escape yourself.
00:05:45.720 One after another,
00:05:47.040 your demons assault you.
00:05:49.720 Fighting them off might be pointless,
00:05:51.420 but fighting is all you know how to do.
00:06:02.960 You weren't built for a world like this.
00:06:06.740 You weren't built for a world of luxury.
00:06:11.920 Your ancestor is the caveman who triumphed over the other.
00:06:15.420 Your ancestor is the caveman who knew how to kill.
00:06:24.960 Your ancestor is the caveman who knew how to kill.
00:06:25.680 It's the luxury of this world that turns everything foul.
00:06:32.940 It's the luxury that makes us soft.
00:06:35.360 It's the luxury that makes us cruel.
00:06:44.740 What you need is a struggle.
00:06:47.340 An enemy to overcome.
00:06:53.680 It's pain that defines the masculine.
00:07:00.940 It's pain that makes us who we are.
00:07:04.860 Embrace it.
00:07:05.940 And never look away from the mirror.
00:07:21.280 Every struggle is ultimately an internal struggle.
00:07:24.580 It's you fighting against your own worst nature.
00:07:27.280 Whatever your sins might be,
00:07:28.640 it's in overcoming them
00:07:30.120 that you transcend the animal and become the human.
00:07:33.540 You overcome yourself
00:07:34.620 and embrace the blood of heroes
00:07:36.680 that runs through your veins.
00:07:42.380 But even this battle's ultimately hopeless.
00:07:48.680 Struggle as you will
00:07:49.880 and achieve what you might.
00:07:55.260 You'll never escape yourself.
00:07:58.640 That's when you're exposed
00:08:02.100 for the contemptible little thing
00:08:03.860 that you really are.
00:08:06.320 Just another animal
00:08:08.400 screaming out in pain.
00:08:18.280 They say that pain
00:08:19.780 is weakness leaving the body.
00:08:24.380 If that's the case,
00:08:27.180 then maybe heartache
00:08:28.440 is sentimentality leaving the soul.
00:08:36.200 Nobody makes it out of here in one piece.
00:08:39.940 Nobody makes it out alive.
00:08:41.760 But at the end of the day,
00:08:52.560 it's not about winning.
00:08:54.560 Virtue
00:08:55.080 is bound in the fight itself.
00:08:58.160 As long as you're still breathing,
00:08:59.720 you can run an extra mile.
00:09:01.520 And as long as your heart's pumping,
00:09:03.580 you've still got blood to bleed.
00:09:05.400 This is the world we live in.
00:09:12.020 And it's going to outlast all of us.
00:09:15.180 The secret to living in it
00:09:16.960 is simply this.
00:09:19.180 To find something
00:09:20.760 that's worth dying for.
00:09:22.580 You can learn,
00:09:23.980 you can learn to hear
00:09:25.160 because you'll be okay.
00:09:25.360 You'll be right.
00:09:25.420 You'll be okay,
00:09:25.960 you might let away.
00:09:26.500 Watch this one!
00:09:27.120 .
00:09:27.780 But to be honest with you,
00:09:36.120 yes.
00:09:40.500 You'll be right.
00:09:41.880 In the night,
00:09:42.480 you'll be coming to the end.
00:09:43.380 Amen.
